- Nouvelle meets Southern cookin'DinerevDined on 11/22/2014Excellent food with attention to appropriate nuanced flavoring. . Deviled eggs , kale salad and especially the fried chicken were excellent . Fun down'-home decor, plates and flatware were whimsical and pleasant. Music also notable adding to the Southern ambiance. There were a few nodes to vegetarian and Vegan diners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amaze ballsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/2/2014Had an awesome time there. Fried chicken and waffles hit the spot with every bite and the deviled eggs were so good to start with. Great staff. Just had a really nice time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent food , bad serviceLildrinkDined on 11/2/2014Sat at the bar and was ignored for 20 minutes by the bartender who preferred to sing an out of tune rendition of Amy Winehouse "Trouble" . Never got a hello , a menu or I'll be with you shortly . The waitress when we sat seemed a little scattered but sweet, bussboys did good job of refilling waters and mimosas . Food was good and tasty though nothing exceptional , great flavors and well cooked . If it wasn't for the inhospitable crooning bartender I'd probably go back but I'll probably find better service elsewhere so why bother .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food Great AtmospherePhePheDined on 11/2/2014Willie Jane took me back to brunch in Key West. Perfect setting - only things missing were the chickens and the ocean. The food was delicious and the portions were just right. The wait staff was attentive and very friendly. I love the location and the ambiance. I live in Las Vegas but I will always find my way to Willie Jane when I'm in L.A.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great!KyleDined on 10/26/2014Sat outside on the neat patio for brunch last Sunday. Great ambiance and great for groups of friends or familyl. The cocktails are really, really good. Be sure to order the fried chicken - it was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BeatriceDined on 10/24/2014As a "picky French" I can tell this restaurant has an awesome Chef. The taste of the food is so good ; fish tastes like fish potatoes taste potatoes for example. The Chef is also very creative from the cocktails through the desserts ; he successfully cooks a sort of fusion of south/west/east America. Don't pass the desserts, they are also awesome !Special Features:
- Unexpected GemPrice4FoodDined on 10/24/2014I somewhat randomly chose this restaurant based on its proximity to where we were staying. Wow, what an unexpected pleasure! The menu offers something for everyone with some down home cookin. Portions were reasonable and the price was as well. Definitely a place I would return to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New placeRickDined on 10/24/2014This a great local find. Fair prices and good sized portions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not2pickynot2pickyVIPDined on 10/22/2014The food was tasty, the ambience is super cute, but the service from the bar was extremely slow. The resturaunt wasn't very busy, but our cocktails took about 30 minutes to get to the table. Our "small plates" were on the table way before the cocktails arrived. We then ordered a bottle of wine and that seemed to take about the same amount of time to arrive. Our dinner was on the table, and our wine still hadn't arrived. We complained to the staff, no apology, but they did get the wine. So, maybe they were just having a bad night. The food was good. Fried chicken and waffles were yummy! I would go back and give it another try-Special Features:
- Friendly but slooooooooww servicepupl0verLAVIPDined on 10/22/2014They operate at turtle speed here- friendly turtles. Food was decent - especially the biscuits and fried chicken. It is a cleaned up Venice version of southern food. However, what was a casual dinner turned out to be 3 hours long. Drinks took 30-40 minutes!Special Features:
- decadentBethDined on 10/18/2014Yummmm! Do not go here if you are on a diet of any kind-- but if you are ready to indulge, you found your spot! Deviled eggs, fried chicken, brisket, mushroom bread pudding, mac and cheese, and glazed brussels sprouts were all delicious. I thought the deviled eggs and fried chicken were truly the stand-outs! We went with a group of 6 people so we could all share. It would have been very heavy to have an entire entree. Also, the desserts were insane! Concord grape cobbler w peanut buyer crust was like a glorious hot pb and j - and the dark chocolate brownie with bananas and nutella was perfectly chewy and amazing. They also had cool, interesting cocktails.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New Favoritephilly2laDined on 10/16/2014Took my parents who are visiting from Philly the other night and I don't think they've stopped raving about how amazing it was. The food and drinks were fantastic and the service was perfect. I really can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All 4 dishes were a knock outClaiborneDined on 10/16/2014We had the fried chicken and waffles which were amazing, the ox tail was perfect and the cornbread trout was super delicious. I'm sure everything on the menu tastes greatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor Service and Overcooked FoodDineNFlyVIPDined on 9/26/2014After we were seated it took over 10 minutes to get the waiter to our table to take our drink order. There were 3 of us and one person got their meal 22 minutes before the other 2 quests and the chicken was over fried.
- Pleasant but InattentiveOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/26/2014First time here since they took over from the French bistro "Lilly's" that had been at this spot for ages. My wife and I sat at the bar for Happy Hour while we waited for our friends to join us for dinner. The drinks were delicious and the bartenders quite personable, but our experience at the bar set the tone for the entire evening. With a staff so pleasant and drink and food offerings quite good (get the brussel sprouts!) one is left to scratch one's head and ask the question, "Why is the service so awful?" Not sure. It looks like they're not understaffed so I don't think that's the issue but I could be wrong. The staff is slow to arrive and then disappears for ages. Again everyone quite nice, but they need to get their act together.Special Features:
- great for groupsOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 9/24/2014went to dinner on a recommendation. had a party of 12 and the waitstaff were so nice and accommodating! we had a large, loud group of people, and we all had a great time. our waiter checked in on us frequently, but not frequently enough that it was annoying. with a party so large as ours, it was great to get as much attention as we did (with folks wanting drinks all at different times, etc). would definitely go back here with a large party!Special Features:
- ONE OF OUR FAVORITES!thisisitVIPDined on 9/23/2014My wife and I love willie Jane. We especially like to combine Happy Hour wine with a delicious meal; for me it's the Hanger Steak and for my wife, the fish. Service is top notch and the ambiance is both friendly and romantic.Special Features:
- From a southernerOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 9/21/2014The brunch was absolutely divine. I lived in New Orleans for 6 years and am so happy to have found a place in my neighborhood where I can get proper Southern cooking! Cheers!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- southern man get some good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014Our waiter was from Kentucky which started out an evening with modern renditions of collard greens, grits and other southern dishes. The deviled eggs were outstanding as was the grilled octopus special. Cat fish and trout were outstanding.Special Features:
- ExcellentWidebaseDined on 9/12/2014Everything about this restaurant is fabulous: We especially loved the Octopus Burrata special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average, at bestDH90291VIPDined on 8/30/2014A southern food centric place shouldn't have dry corn bread, bland cheese grits, fatty, dry tasteless ribs and lackluster peach cobbler... I recommended it to several friends who wanted to come to dinner on AK from other parts of the city and we failed. Maybe the space is cursed as nothing has worked there.
- Southern charmlasraliasDined on 8/30/2014Reminded me of a New Orleans garden atmosphere; inventive cocktails; loved the buttermilk biscuits with orange honey butter; the bbq ribs were outstanding!Special Features:
- Loyal customer . . .time2eatDined on 8/24/2014I have been dining at Mr. Johnson's restaurants since his days in NY at The Cellar, Memphis and Gulf Coast. The last was years ago at Georgia's in LA. Now Willie Jane in Venice. The experience did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious with unique flavors. A traditional plate of waffles and chicken was made all the more interesting and flavorful with a tangy, spicy cole slaw like garnish. Beverages served in mason jars were refreshing. Looking forward to my next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good place for southern appetites..tylerpiDined on 8/23/2014Loved it, got my Shrimp and Grits and felt great for hours afterwards....I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food good. Service badTRBJRDined on 8/21/2014We, a party of 4, went there around 8:30 pm to eat so it wasn't crowded at all. I'm not sure why, but the service was very bad considering that it wasn't busy at all. Our appetizers took 30 minutes to get, one of us ordered a second drink that took 20 minutes to get. Everything was just off it seemed. The food was good though.
- Great food, great ambianceMsMarinadelReyDined on 8/20/2014My husband and I brought guests from out of the country who had never tasted Southern-style food, and they (and we) loved the whole experience. Each of our guests ordered a different plate and they shared. Not a crumb was left!! We sat on the outside patio, which was really lovely on the pleasant summer night. A definite recommend!!Special Features:
- MissyDined on 8/16/2014I took a friend for dinner to celebrate her birthday. It is a cozy restaurant. We sat in the patio, which was very nice. We ordered beef brisket with collard greens, cheese grits and biscuits. The greens were delicious, the beef brisket was tender, delicious and served with a tasty, light gravy/sauce. The cheese grits could have been cooked longer and the biscuit was dry. We had a scrumptious dessert - a brownie served with ice cream and chocolate-covered peanut butter balls (which you will love if you like peanut butter). We also had an after dinner aperitif (Cat Daddy's Moonshine) which was soooo good and a lovely way to end our meal. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and will definitely go to Willie Jane's again.Special Features:
- Good Southern FixEatAlotDined on 8/15/2014Bourbon drink was very good but margarita was not. Sometimes bartenders get so fancy they mess up a good drink! Deviled eggs were the best ever. Biscuits & butter delicious. Felt like server was rushing us when we wanted a slower paced Friday night dinner. Catfish was huge portion & very spicy. Ask for extra sauce! Fried chicken & Mac n cheese very good. Wishing they had a potatoe option for a side.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply outstandingmattVIPDined on 8/14/2014By far now one of my favorite hotels on the westside. Everything we had was outstanding form the shrimp and grits to the fried chicken, Mac and cheese. We had 5 dishes and they were all amazing. Our server Britney was outstanding very easy to talk too and obviously loves working there. Then ther is the manager Britney who knows what she is doing, great customer service and you can tell she loves her job and employees. I will be back for sure and will recommend this restaurant more then any I have in the past.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- California Soul Food?OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/10/2014Food was good although not a lot of "soul food"- the problem was sitting in the outside area which is not spacious and was too noisy with a rowdy large group in one large table, and a baby in another. Also the service was slow- brought food at different times so we couldn't start together as food was getting cold.Special Features:
- Outstanding BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 8/9/2014Delicious vegan crab benedict, wonderful brunch with friends and bottomless mimosas! Brunch perfection!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 8/3/2014The food was great with an interesting menu. While our food was slightly slow getting out, our waitress was very attentive so we didn't mind too much.Special Features:
- SpicyCJ21Dined on 8/1/2014Cool patio and great drinks. However, several of the sides had jalapeños and jalapeños were never noted by the server or on the menu. The fried chicken was great - though peppery.Special Features:

- jimbeau43jimbeau43Dined on 7/20/2014My third time at Willie Jane and each time has been increasingly disappointing. The biscuit and honey butter was a good opener but everything was downhill after that. The rib eye steak was tough, the Hopping John was just bland with no kind of seasoning, and the greens did not have that smoky, meat flavor that comes from being thoroughly cooked the Southern way with ham hocks or salty pork. The waiter was friendly enough but kept forgetting that I needed no-calorie sweetner for my iced tea. Overall, I could not rate this dinning experience above simply "fair."Special Features:
- Great food, mediocre serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/20/2014Came here for lunch and while the food was delicious, the service left much to be desired. The waiter was friendly, but I had to flag him down to take our drink order and even then it took 20 minutes to receive our drinks (we aren't hard to please- take your time bringing our food as long as we have cocktails in hand). Our waiter (and half of the staff it seemed) was dealing with another table and, while I understand that difficult customers take an extra effort, neglecting others should not happen. We had no complaints about our entrees but were informed the kitchen was closed when we tried to order dessert. It would've been nice for the waiter to inform us of this and ask for orders ahead of time. Hope to have better service next time.Special Features:
- Enjoyed BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/20/2014Outstanding customer service. Clarence was wonderful! Enjoyed the soft shell crab and nice ambiance in the patio.Special Features:
- Fab FoodlisakDined on 7/19/2014The food was wonderful. We had the deviled eggs, the hanger steak tartar and the peach burrata salad to start. Everything was wonderfully balanced. The for our mains had the fried chicken and the brisket. Heavenly! Had the Salt cocktail -- so good and refreshing with a kick. Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. Noise gets a bit loud, but not enough to put you off the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Common Core State Standard

Then, students should present their own claims using facts and analysis for support.
Wikipedia tries to step closer to slippery goal: trust in its accuracy
Newspapers also are convenient, rapidly updated information sources. List advantages that daily papers, their websites and their online archives have over Wikipedia as a reference tool.
Some useful information in newspapers isn't on Wikipedia and never will be. How many examples can you come up with?
Even though professional journalists create most newspaper content, users also contribute. Flip to or click on a reader-generated item of interest, or perhaps an area filled with public voices.
As the world's most widely used encyclopedia, Wikipedia has swelled dramatically in size (12 million articles), languages (262) and popularity since going online in 2001. Now administrators of the English language version want to address the biggest hurdle of a reference tool created by users and edited by anyone: Not every "fact" on Wikipedia is true.
That embarrassment, the most recent in a series of "never mind" corrections, brings a Flagged Revisions proposal to block new and anonymous users from instantly changing entries. Only registered, reliable users could have their material appear immediately for public viewing. Other changes would be held back until a moderators accepts ("flags") the revisions or new articles.
Tighter Wikipedia standards benefit anyone who clicks onto Wikipedia for quick research -- including journalists and, hello, students from reading age through post-college graduate school. But the concern behind the proposed tightening is what makes it risky to use for schoolwork. Open access remains the foundation of this 21st century icon, so many teachers and professors discourage or ban use of Wikipedia as an information resource.
Wikipedia acknowledges: "Critics of Wikipedia target its systemic bias and inconsistencies and its policy of favoring consensus over credentials. . . . Reliability and accuracy are also an issue. Other criticisms are centered on its susceptibility to vandalism and the addition of spurious or unverified information." -- Wikipedia article about itself
Journalist says: " I don't expect 100 percent accuracy from a Wikipedia page. I want a quick and rough introduction to whatever it is I happen to be searching for. Like most people, I apply common sense to what I find." -- Shane Richmond, technology columnist, The Telegraph (London, UK)
What's ahead: "At this stage, it appears the majority of the community are behind this decision. As that discussion unfolds, we'll have a better sense of the timing." -- Jay Walsh, Wikimedia Foundation spokesman

Denmark, 2009 (MIFF 2010, International Panorama)
Director: Nicolo Donato
More than just a gay neo-Nazi film.
Violent and affectionate, brutal and touching, Nicolo Donato's feature debut is a tale that delves into the dichotomy of homosexuality within the ranks of skinheads.
The clandestine lovers are Lars, a young man who leaves the army for the fist-happy camaraderie of the 'brotherhood', and his mentor Jimmy. For two men accustomed to beating up on homosexuals, the unfolding of a delicate romance challenges their world views.
Brotherhood has won multiple awards, including an award for best film at the Rome Film Festival.
"The passion between Lars and Jimmy is powerful, the sense of liberation they feel in each other's arms a heady mix of desire and support." - Variety

Cleaning my Sitram frying pan is a nightmare
I have a Sitram Catering line frying pan and although it cooks wonderful overall, the gap between the copper plate on the bottom and the side of the pan results in a major cleaning problem. For example, tonight I made a stir fry in it and although cleaning the bottom of the pan was easy, it took me a half half and half a can of Bar Keepers Friend to get the sides clean. This was with some serious scrubbing and it's still not 100% clean.
Can I use Brillo on this or will that ruin the pan? Anyone else with Sitram cookware have this problem?
re: Joe Blowe
I haven't tried soaking as I thought that was bad for the pan. Maybe I'm mixing that up with cast iron. Will give it a shot!
Best response of the lot:
Live with it. I've said it numerous times before, but cleaning a utensil like this requires so much time and effort... it's a huge waste of time. Do you wash the bottoms of your shoes? No? Why not? Because the minute you step outside, they will get dirty again. Same thing with pans. One lunatic here even said they frequently use sandpaper on their pans to get them clean!
re: HaagenDazs
BTW- The only time I ever used sandpaper was on a new Lodge 14" skillet. I did not like the natural cast iron pebble like surface and essentially smoothed the cook area to be as slick as a baby's behind.
re: RShea78
How hard was it to sand the iron smoorth? What sandpaper did you use? Did you use a power sander or do it by hand? Was it worth it?
re: werewolf
I used a "D.A." sander starting with 180 grit sandpaper, and finishing it up with a 220 grit, at my Dad's shop.
It worked out great, especially for making easy over eggs.
Unfortunately, it got snatched by my brother's GF. It likely got ruined as she insists on using cups if not the entire bottle of Dawn dish soap when cleaning cast iron. :((
re: RShea78
Dawn, or any other household liquid detergent, will not harm a *properly* seasoned cast iron pan.
Properly seasoned means that many thin coats of polymerized fat or oil have completely adhered to the surface of the pan. Polymerized fat or oil is the baked on gunk that coats the inside of your dirty oven, and we all know that you can't clean a dirty oven with water and Dawn!
If your pan is ruined, it's likely because she either soaked it or used a Brillo pad (or some other aggressive scrubber).
re: Joe Blowe
Sorry, I totally disagree and had to get rid of several Dawn flavored skillets to boot.
re: RShea78
You had to "get rid of several" pans?? I don't think you're seasoning correctly. And if you do "ruin" a pan it's easy to start from scratch: put the pan in an oven at the highest temp setting (self-clean cycle if you got it), "bake" for an hour and voilà, you have an unseasoned pan. The seasoning just flakes away...
re: HaagenDazs
I agree - my Sitram pans have a lovely 'patina' on the bottom.
You may need to get a product called Sokoff.
Or Google Shop "Sokoff" for a web deal.
re: frobe
Shoot, if that is the case, just use a slightly wet/rung out- rag(1), and wipe it off while it is still somewhat hot.
Just be careful to avoid the steam steeping through the fabric, and end up burning you. If you fear burning yourself, just wrap the rag around some stiff tongs, in a manor to pad the metal to prevent from scratching anything.
BTY- I refer rag(1) to mean some disposable cloth that if overly soiled, it can be tossed. Towels are something I tend to protect from staining.
I stick my sitram (and all clad, and calphalon stainless) in the dishwasher.
Looks great.
Just an update, the soaking didn't really work. I realize as well that the staining is not really from sticking food but rather the hot oil mixing with food. For example, was following a Cooks Illustrated recipe this week that said heat vegetable oil until it was just smoking and then add the marinated chicken. Well, as soon as I add it, the smoke from the oil and food hits the inside of the pan and just covers it in black. I soaked it for overnight and then use Bar Keepers Friend and it just wasn't coming off.
In the end, I used Brillo and that worked. Might scratch my pan up but guess I can live with that..
re: frobe
Keep in mind that stainless steel pans like Sitram and All Clad heat up very quickly (as well as evenly). In other words, you don't need to heat it in the pan as long as you might in say cast iron. The saying goes, hot pan, cold oil, so what i do is heat up the pan a couple minutes then add the oil, and start cooking pretty quickly. Cooking with high heat for a while, I do notice the blackening that you describe. I find that if i soak it overnight in a little dish soap, most of it comes off right away, at least on the bottom. I still get spotting on the sides of the inside, but I don't worry about that a lot. I hope that helps
re: frobe
So you can live with a scratched pan but not one that has a little oil stain?! OK... I for one would not be using steel wool on my pans, but to each their own. Anyway, I agree with chuckl, heat the pan and then add the oil and cook almost immediately after. Heating oil like that is unnecessary. I also agree that you can get rid of most of the staining and residue by soaking overnight and then cleaning it.
***Notice the part in the post by chuckl that says "I still get spotting on the sides of the inside, but I don't worry about that". That is the best advice. If you buy a pan like this, you're going to use it and it will show a little wear and tear. If you're trying to achieve the same mirror finish you see on cooking shows (especially food network shows) don't try it. They get brand new pans for each and every episode.
I realize this is an old post and wish I had seen it earlier. But if you still have your pan, the best thing in the world to use (the place that sold me my Sitram pans suggested it) is "Bar Keepers Friend" Get the one in the can, not the liquid one. You can also use this on your stove, on your sink. I've used it on my bathtub. It is a mild abrasive that doesn't scratch. It's EXCELLENT for pans like these.

Woman with baby in car charged with running down another woman
MANCHESTER - A woman driver, her 20-month-old son in a car seat beside her, deliberately ran down another woman Sunday on Wilson Street, according to police.
Mary Knee, 25, of 234 Wilson St. was arrested about 9 a.m. and charged with reckless conduct, conduct after an accident, both felonies, and endangering the welfare of a child. She also is accused of violating existing bail conditions.
Police said she deliberately struck Christina Moore, 29, of 574 Silver St., with her van as Moore was walking on Wilson Street. Moore suffered cuts and bruises to her hands and knees.
Lt. Maureen Tessier said the two women know each other and had an ongoing dispute.
Moore told police she was walking north on Wilson Street, near Cilley Road, when she saw a Ford Windstar van traveling south on Wilson Street heading toward her. Knee was driving the van, she said, and a young child was in the front passenger seat.
Both Moore and witnesses told investigators the van drove directly at Moore who jumped clear of its path, according to a news release The van, however, stopped, backed up and then turned around and drove at her again, this time hitting her with the front end of the van, propelling her up and over the front of the van.
The van fled the scene but police said they pulled it over a short time later near Silver and Wilson streets. Knee was driving it and her 20-month-old son was seated in a forward-facing car seat in the front seat, despite visible warning labels on the sun visor about the dangers to a small child seated there if an airbag is deployed, police said.

The Register Monopoly Pubcrawl Mobile Map: VODAFONE VICTOR in LONDON
Re: Like.. but....
It's just a real challenge to deliver a mobile data connection to a train. You're inside a big metal box thing, running directly over or under high voltage wires which cause interference, and you're often down in dug out railway cuttings or other lower bits of land. Patchy coverage is IMHO probably reasonable under those circumstances.
I find this result very, very surprising
Your test methodology looks very comprehensive, my experience is obviously completely anecdotal and unscientific. I live in outer SE London, work in the city and generally "get around a bit" and unless Vodafone have significantly upped their game in the six months or so since I ditched them for 3 those results are the exact opposite of what I found with Voda - I found their 3G data and voice coverage to be truly AWFUL, on a variety of different handsets.

Brit bank Barclays rolls out voice recog for telephone banking
Re: Which system will Barclays run this on?
It's true, Barclays are well known in the financial IT sector for being about the worst, even in a very conservative "if it works don't fix it" area of the industry. They have many legacy systems based around 1970's mainframe technologies, and their project failure rate is very high when it comes to upgrading them. I know many people on their contractor gravy train there who haven't got anything worthwhile achieved for years. So hopefully they've outsourced this particular implementation to somebody with any clue what they're doing as internally they're pretty third rate....

Report: Climate change has already hit USA - and time is RUNNING OUT
Re: @Phil.T.Tipp Marvin would love this news
That's a fair point a/c and you make it well. Nobody is talking about litigation though, however perhaps there is increasingly a place for more voluntarily responsible behaviour (in first OR third world economies) amongst couples who want large families. People have a right to produce children and the idea of capping it is always an emotive subject, however most scientists and sociologists agree that significant population increase at this point is unlikely to benefit anyone unless we very quickly find ways to consume much less.
@Phil.T.Tipp Re: Marvin would love this news
"Oh really? I think you'll find it's Third World, not Global Population which is on the increase."
This is obviously true in terms of numbers, one thing to remember though is that a first world child consumes many times more energy/resources than a third world child in their lifetime - so there's a strong argument that we in first world countries are equally obligated to reduce the number of children we are having as one less person here has a far greater impact.
Google forges a Silver bullet for Android, aims it at Samsung's heart
While a lot of this sounds bad from a competition perspective.....
...manufacturers and operators have only themselves to blame. Vanilla android works very nicely, most of the "customisations" and UI tweaks that people like HTC and Samsung (and also, don't forget, individual network operators) are adding are implemented badly - annoying and gimmicky at best, battery/storage sapping at worst. Additionally, as mentioned in the article, the customisations need to be tweaked and tested with every new release which slows getting them out of the door. Google will try to sell this as an attempt to make android "cleaner" and a lot of people will swallow this viewpoint - even though (this being Google) it's blatantly a piece of dick swinging aimed at getting control of the platform and the harvested user data back.
Ancient telly, check. Sonos sound system, check. OMG WOAH

What the world really needs: A telescopic SELFIE STICK
Re: Not actually a new idea
Agree completely. I've had one for years for my Go-Pro, and I've used it for kite surfing, snorkelling and snowboarding. Like you say it's good for directing your camera into nooks and crannies, and if I've been guilty of snapping the odd pic/video of myself (which I've been doing since long before it was called a "selfie" therefore I refuse to call it one) when I'm in a happy place with a big smile on my face then so bloody what - it cheers me up to look at those pictures during the many times when I'm in a less happy place. Miserable sods, now I can never use my camera on a stick again as people like you lot will judge me "self obsessed" or something!
Volunteers slam plans to turn Bletchley Park into 'geeky Disneyland'
Re: Whilst I want Bletchley to keep going
Couldn't agree more - have you been to the Science museum in London recently? It's all "interactive exhibits" and touch screens now and it seems they want to take Bletchley Park down that same path. I've been twice, and the first time I was fortunate enough to spend a good ten minutes chatting with Tony Sale which was just an amazing experience. He told me all about how when he was building the colossus replica he would get tipped off about old analogue telephone exchanges being decommissioned, and he and his mates would turn up there and climb into the skips out the back to scavenge rare GPO parts. Speaking to people like Tony was the whole appeal of the place to me, and there were plenty like me who visited the place from far and wide exactly because they'd heard it was the opposite of most museums - I initially found out about it from a great book called "Bollocks to Alton Towers" which is all about the theme of finding quirky British attractions. If it becomes sanitised, it just becomes another crappy modern museum, albeit one in the middle of bloody nowhere well off the tourist trail with a very limited audience. Welcome though the lottery funding is for much needed restoration of buildings, bringing in this consulti-twunt to make these changes sounds like a recipe for disaster and something really should be done before it's too late and he's alienated the very small pool of knowledgeable people who bring the place to life.
NatWest 'spam' email cockup got me slapped with late payment fee, says angry Reg reader
Re: more lessons
The bloke said:
"The fee itself was a comparatively minor annoyance, but irritating nonetheless as I normally pay off my credit card shortly after receiving the reminder from the online banking system. The real annoyance was NatWest's refusal to deal with the problem."
So how exactly is he failing to take responsibility? He's holding his hand up to having cocked up by not paying the bill on time, he simply flagged up the problem and used his personal expertise to suggest a resolution for the benefit of similarly scatterbrained other customers. This is commonly known as "being helpful"
If I was this bloke however one thing I would check would be that they'd not flagged it as a late payment on my credit history - this sort of blemish can look bad on mortgage applications, and he'd have a reasonable justification on this occasion for asking them to remove it.
MANIC MINERS: Ten Bitcoin generating machines
Re: I'm not some kind of hippy or anything, and it's an interesting experiment....
I see your point - but I'd be hugely delighted not to work if society made that feasible, so the argument is flawed.
All I'm saying is that it seems rather unnecessary to design the infrastructure behind a currency to be so intrinsically labour intensive that all of this number crunching is required just to help set it's value, the quantity in circulation and to manage simple transactions. Yes of course I'm aware that any currency has all kinds of overheads around it's creation, maintenance and things like FX rate discovery, that's what traditional markets do - as it happens I work in finance myself writing systems that do EXACTLY that so you'd think I'd welcome it!
The whole thing seems rather over-engineered.
I'm not some kind of hippy or anything, and it's an interesting experiment....
But in an age where we're supposed to be getting more efficient and less resource hungry, does the whole mining process not strike anyone else as being an utterly futile waste of electricity and processing power?

DEATH-PROOF your old XP netbook: 5 OSes to bring it back to life
Re: Linux mint xfce with Mate 32 bit
"As for being cool, i would have thought that being the only penguin in the class with a machine that can do everything the others can do would be too cool to touch ......"
You have to be joking, right? Most kids are idiots, the only cool thing to have will be an iPad, or at worst an android tablet. The rest of the class will all be downloading the latest flavour of the month game off the app store, and the kid with the LINUX netbook will be the one that can't participate. Pariah status will follow. When I was a kid I was the only one in class with an IBM PC at home, everyone else had consoles. Now while I owe my working life to what I learned from that ancient XT clone (rather than spending my time playing starwing and streetfighter 2) and long term it worked out well for me, I can assure you that at the time it was in no way "cool" to have something different to what everyone else had. Kids are very much of the pack mentality, and at that age "different" is bad - not having an iPad screams "poor kid".
I'm not saying any of this is right, it's just how kids operate. Well that's how I remember it all anyway :-)

Barclays Online OFFLINE: UK bank site, mobile app go titsup for the evening
Why would you have to leave your shopping?
This is online servicing only, right? Or is it some kind of funky NFC payment app on a phone? In which case you'd have thought they'd still be carrying a debit card?
I love the way that it's inconcievable now to be disconnected from this stuff. Not all that long ago, before ATMs, you had to plan ahead and visit a bank on Friday to get enough cash out to see you through the weekend! Technology is great but some people don't have any kind of backup plan when it goes wrong.
The micro YOU used in school: The story of the Research Machines 380Z
Re: Nimbuseses
"Then by the mid 90s, my secondary school which had some sort of weird BNC network of 386 Nimbuses, which ran an RM login programme to boot Windows 3.0 off a central server. Incredibly slow."
We had exactly the same - I remember the slowness, the teacher used to make us login to windows 3 in batches so as not to bring it all grinding to a halt. If I remember rightly the nimbuses didn't have hard disks and we had to save our work onto floppies This must have been a standard setup, what sort of network would it have been?
Another DEVASTATING Chelyabinsk METEOR STRIKE: '7x as likely' as thought

Bring on a massive asteroid - just as soon as I've finished consuming and ruining and shuffled off this mortal coil.
That defeatist enough for you?
My thoughts exactly - people only started getting scared of this when they made a few films about it! The dinosaurs may have had an issue with something large hitting earth, but we've been here thousands and thousands of years and we're still here by the looks of it. So probability tells us that the chances of it happening anytime soon are remote, right?

Because the guy they arrested is the boyfriend of the Guardian journalist, not somebody directly involved. I'd imagine the journo himself will be communicating only through fairly secure means and will know his rights. However, no matter how careful Snowden and the journo are, there is a good chance that the boyfriend may have been told off the record stuff and committed it to email or instant messenger in an unencrypted form, potentially on an electronic device which doesn't even need a password. While I disagree with what the intelligence services are doing, going after this guy was an obvious move as he's probably not an IT or security specialist and so might well have something they want in an easily accessible form.
Vodafone flashes bulging package at Brits: New 4G service to rival EE, O2
Oh hurrah
Wait a minute. 4G you say? Is this the same Vodafone that barely gives me ANY mobile data signal, in central London and most other cities and towns I tend to visit, and when it does allow me to connect I get sub GPRS speeds never mind anything approaching even 3G?
They used to be the best network out there but they seem to have a badly overloaded data infrastructure now.

Re: Charging? OK
Unfortunately, you're assuming that their mobile data infrastructure is up to the job of replacing a reasonable wifi connection - it's not, the coverage is poor and slow, it's been creaky ever since they got the exclusive deal on the iPhone when it first came out. I gave up and left them about a year ago.
Aha, I see you switched on your mobile Wi-Fi. YOU FOOL!
"allowing attacks to breach ultra-secure locations."
What I'd describe as an "ultra-secure" location will generally use 2 factor authentication such as Secure-ID, on top of your network logon credentials. If you're only capturing the 2 factor authentication once then it's only of use until the ID changes, limiting the value of any keylogged/captured credentials you do get hold of. So in real life to most genuinely secure networks this is fairly a limited threat, isn't it? If not, why not (genuinely, educate me) ?

Review: Samsung Galaxy S4
Re: I've had mine since Friday
Just being realistic - the battery life matches the S2 it replaces. Given that it has a bigger, brighter screen and a massive CPU that's sort of progress, isn't it?
These things do loads more than old feature phones used to do, so it's unfair to compare them really.
I've had mine since Friday
1 - the screen is SUPERB
2 - screen touch is light and responsive
3 - no noticeable lag on anything, that processor goes like stink
4 - Battery life of two days definitely achievable with light use
Very happy with it so far. And the UI layer isn't IMHO as bad as the reviewer suggests, having said that there is a lot of bundled crapware to be uninstalled or disabled.

Dwight Grant (born on , 1974), also known as Beanie Sigel, is a American rapper from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, an artist on Roc-A-Fella Records who has formed a close association with rappers Jay-Z, Freeway and other former and current artists on the roster. His stage name comes from a street in South Philadelphia, the rapper's former stomping grounds where he worked alongside Senior Durham in the projects.
Early Career: 1998-2004
Signing, The Truth & The Reason
Beanie Sigel's first major appearance was on The Roots album Things Fall Apart, on the song "Adrenaline!"; six months later, he "ran into Jay" and was signed after an audition. He was featured on "Reservoir Dogs," from Jay-Z's 1998 album Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life, alongside Sauce Money and The L.O.X., as well as the remix to his "Money, Cash, Hoes", which also featured Memphis Bleek and DMX. Sigel was also prominently featured on Jay's 2000 'group' album, The Dynasty: Roc La Familia, before releasing his solo debut The Truth in 2000, selling Gold.
After appearing on albums by Sisqo, AZ, and Tha Dogg Pound, Sigel followed up with his sophomore album, The Reason. Its single was "Beanie (Mack Bitch)", produced by Just Blaze, and the rapper followed his release with high-profile appearances on DJ Clue's The Professional 2, Cam'ron's Platinum Roc-A-Fella debut Come Home With Me, and a single from Nelly's platinum album Nellyville--the track "Roc the Mic (Remix)", alongside Freeway, Nelly and Murphy Lee.
Ruff Ryders Conflict & State Property
The new millennium also saw various Roc artists, including Sigel, engage in a conflict with artists from Ruff Ryders. Beans was a forerunner of the beef, publicly decrying Jadakiss, the rest of the L.O.X. and DMX. While Sigel and Kiss both denied any violent intent, they continued to send shots back and forth until Beans put out a freestyle over Jada's hit "Put Ya Hands Up". Conversely, he cultivated a friendship with southern rapper Scarface. Having first appeared together on "This Can't Be Life" with Jay-Z from Dynasty, the two would go on to collaborate on Sigel's first two records, Scarface's The Fix, and later on Sigel's 2007 album The Solution. The two extoll their friendship to the point that Scarface eventually declared that he would retire unless he could do a full-length record with Beans, suggesting the title Mac & Brad and production by Kanye West.
In 2002, Sigel and much of the Roc roster starred in a Dame Dash-produced movie entitled State Property. Its release coincided with the creation and promotion of State Property, a group of artists signed to Roc-A-Fella that hailed from Philadelphia and organized by Sigel and Freeway. Its members included Peedi Crakk, the Young Gunz, Oschino and Omilio Sparks. Their first collaboration was for the movie's soundtrack, an eponymous release that featured the original "Roc the Mic" by Sigel and Freeway. They followed up with 2003's The Chain Gang Vol. 2, featuring the single "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" by the Young Gunz; the record was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
Incarceration & The B. Coming
In 2004, Sigel was found guilty of federal weapons charges and sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison. He finished his 3rd album, The B. Coming, and shot multiple videos before he had to start his sentence. During this time, Jay-Z ascended to the Presidency of Def Jam Records, causing former business partners Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke to split off and form the Dame Dash Music Group. Sigel's B. Coming was released on DDMG and Def Jam rather than Roc-A-Fella, but contained production from a slew of Roc/Jay-Z-affiliated producers including Chad West, The Neptunes, Just Blaze, Boola and Buckwild. Artists from both sides of the split were present on the record, from State Property members to Cam'ron and Jay-Z; the record spawned Sigel a hit with "Feel it in the Air," sold 131,000 copies in its first week and reached Gold status in sales.
Advertising his friendship with the incarcerated Beans, Dash publicly claimed the artist was leaving the roster with him; during the sentence, State Property was thrown into turmoil, eventually choosing to remain at Roc-A-Fella?apparently against Sigel's wishes. Upon his release, Beans called the loyalty of his group into question and stated that he was signing with Dame and Biggs courtesy of a stronger casual relationship with the pair than with Jay-Z:
I've never been around Jay on an off day. It ain't like I made a choice of running with Dame and Biggs or 'Dame and Biggs held me down through my whole trial.' It's not that. I would be a sucker if I said I because they did that for me. It's love. You see how we chillin' now, this ain't about no business.
Soon after, he clarified his comments, saying he simply didn't want to be involved in the conflict and electing to re-open talks with Roc-A-Fella instead of moving to DDMG; rumors also surfaced that he was in talks with G-Unit.
2005-2009 & Future Projects
Re-Signing With the Roc & The Solution
Sigel's presence at Jay-Z's I Declare War concert in 2005 clarified any rumors as to his label status; Sigel soon re-signed to Roc-A-Fella, announcing the formation of his Def Jam-housed State Property Records. '06 marked Beanie's first post-beef collaboration with Jadakiss, "Problem" from DJ Khaled's Listennn: The Album, and appearances on several Def Jam-related projects including Ludacris' Release Therapy, DJ Clue's The Professional, Pt. 3, Jay-Z's American Gangster and the remix to Kanye West's hit single "Can't Tell Me Nothin'." On , 2006, shortly after 8:00 am, Sigel was shot twice in the upper right arm during a robbery attempt. He was hospitalized and was said to be in good condition, and later recovered.
In 2007, Beanie reversed previous statements made about his friendship with Damon Dash, revealing that he felt the former CEO was cultivating his friendship for selfish purposes:
You don?t want to question your friend, or who you thought was your friend. Their loyalty and sincerity towards you, you don?t want to question that. As time went on, I did things to bring stuff out to light, and I was finding out a lot of stuff that wasn?t right.
Sigel went to work on his next album, The Solution, with an even more eclectic set of producers and guests. It didn't hit critically: critics cited lack of production from Kanye West and Just Blaze as Sigel's Achilles heel; the album eventually sold over 112,000 units.
Roc's Latter Days, Future Projects
In 2008, Peedi Crakk claimed that a Roc-A-Fella A&R sent by Jay-Z told him that Roc-A-Fella was no more, and that the group had been dropped from the label. Sigel's manager, however, clarified the situation by explaining that Freeway and Sigel were both still signed to Roc-A-Fella; the freshly-reunited group have continued to record together, even after most of them were dropped. Still, Sigel has maintained that the Roc's promotion of The Solution was lacking, and while avowing his friendship for Jay-Z, also implicated then-Def Jam President in the lack of promotion of?and response to?his album.
After cosigning the addition of his former rival Jadakiss to Roc-A-Fella, Sigel went underground, and has since rarely surfaced; on , 2008, Sigel was sentenced to three months in prison for a third probation violation following positive tests for Xanax and Percocet over five times in the past month. The rapper had already been sentenced to six months house arrest for a previous violation. He was released from custody on June 25, 2008. Following this, groupmate Freeway explained that Beans is finishing out his parole, and that afterwards he will begin to become more active. Sigel was recently featured on Asher Roth's debut album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle. Beanie is also set to appear on rapper Raekwon's latest opus, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II, on a track called "Have Mercy."

text: Palin to HBO: None of Your 'Game Change' Sources Traveled on Campaign Print article Send a Tip by Jeffrey Scott Shapiro 7 Mar 2012 post a comment Sarah Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, released an online statement Wednesday challenging the accuracy and sources of the HBO film "Game Change." Governor Palin and her aides have repeatedly requested HBO to label the movie as a fictional account, but the network has not done so. The statement reads: Despite HBO's best efforts, we have all seen the movie Game Change. We stand by everything we previously said on the record. The movie is at best "historical fiction" - historical only in that Sarah Palin was nominated and campaigned for the office of Vice President. The movie is a series of scenes where the dialogue, locations and participants are invented or rendered unrecognizable for dramatic effect. HBO and its surrogates continue to argue that they spoke to 25 sources. None of them are on the record nor is their level of "involvement" in the campaign disclosed. Not one source is on the record in either the book or in the movie and it is clear why. The authors of the book never even traveled on the campaign with Governor Palin. We call on HBO to add the fiction disclaimer. A Big Hollywood investigation in February concluded that major "Game Change" actors, producers, and directors were all Obama supporters who have contributed heavily to Democratic causes for the past 20 years and that the HBO executives in charge have also made significant contributions to the Democratic Party and Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Gallup polls also prove that despite "Game Change"'s assertion Sarah Palin was the cause of McCain's presidential election loss in 2008, his campaign was energized after she joined the ticket in late August. McCain's numbers actually soared in early September and even surpassed Obama's in mid-September before he announced that he was suspending his campaign to help Congress and President George W. Bush resolve the 2008 financial crisis. In an exclusive late February, Big Hollywood interview with former McCain presidential campaign adviser, T. Michael Andrews expressed his belief that Obama actually won the election because he was a superior fundraiser and that his political machine became unstoppable. "I disagree with the premise that Palin lost the election in 2008," Andrews told Big Hollywood. "The fact of the matter they say that money doesn't win elections, I say bull. Obama had more money than he knew what to do with. He was very fortunate to ride on a wave of Bush fatigue, a rejuvenated electorate with this hope and change message and more importantly, he had money, which allowed him to tap into deep resources." SarahPAC was formed in 2009 and is a federally registered political action committee dedicated to supporting political ideas and candidates running for office. According to the site: SarahPAC believes energy independence is a cornerstone of the economic security and progress that every American family wants and deserves. We believe in American Exceptionalism, and that US foreign policy should, first and foremost, be based on the pursuit of our national interest, not the interests of others. SarahPAC believes the Republican Party is at the threshold of an historic renaissance that will build a better future for all. Health care, education, and reform of government are among our key goals. ON BREITBART TV Julianne Moore defends Game Change: 'Everything Was Sourced'

Dale Chihuly's organically flowing glass forms have sprouted up in botanical gardens across the country, even right here in St. Louis. In these lush settings, the sculptures help to highlight not only the talent of the artist, but also the beauty of nature, as the glass pieces and the flora work in concert to create a lovely landscape. But like the out of doors, Chihuly's art is awe-inspiring on its own, too, and while nature is settling in for a long winter's nap, Chihuly's glass pieces are as lively as ever — and they're within the warm confines of the Duane Reed Gallery (4729 McPherson Avenue; www.duanereedgallery.com or 314-361-4100) beginning Friday, November 20. Opening with a free public reception from 5 to 8 p.m., this exhibition of Chihuly's latest work features the stunning winter-whiteness of Palazzo Ducale Tower, a writhing, elegant form that will tower over gallerygoers, shimmering and shining all throughout the winter — well, almost. The show remains on view Tuesday through Saturday until Saturday, January 30.
Tuesdays-Saturdays. Starts: Nov. 20. Continues through Jan. 30, 2009

Summer Pasture has an earthy intimacy and compassion for its subjects that will have you thinking about their plight long after they've packed up and moved on for winter.
Aug 10, 2011A remarkably intimate documentary woven out of tradition and change, and the endearing subjects who contend with both.
For all the hardship they endure, this intimate dual portrait, directed by Lynn True and Nelson Walker, with Tsering Perlo, suggests that their lives are neither more nor less fulfilled than those of any highly stressed upper-middle-class Americans.
The faces of the culture - a group of nomadic Tibetans who raise yak and harvest caterpillar dung from ramshackle tents in the Chinese mountains - resist all but the most vague of ecological or political calls-to-action.
Aug 9, 2011Summer Pasture is remarkable not merely for documenting the disappearing way of life, but for registering the depth of Yama and Locho's uncertainty about moving on from it.
The subjects - a husband and wife struggling to make ends meet, mostly for the well-being of their infant daughter - are eminently engaging.

Aug 22, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The success of a documentary so often hinges on the choice of subjects as much as the topic, and directors Lynn True and Nelson Walker hit the jackpot with Yama, Locho and their unnamed infant daughter. While the baby girl provides the kind of chubby-cheeked adorableness to melt even the coldest heart, her parents are charming and honest characters that make yak herding in the remote sprawling steppe of China feel utterly relatable.… Expand

2009 Subaru Outback 3.0R Limited 4dr Wagon AWD (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
I had Subarus in the past and loved them.
I just bought a new 2009 30R automatic, a left over from Subaru Dubai Dealer.
I love it but I am disappointed by the gearbox. I reckon 4th gear is too long and distant from 3rd. It means that when you need some acceleration and you're in 5th, the system will shift down to 3rd, since 4th and 5th are very close to each other. The result is a jump from 2000 rpm to somewhere around 5000, which is not necessary. I would have it geared with 3rd, 4th and 5th in a more balanced way. I think the [non-permissible content removed] engineers thought this model as a 4 gears plus 5th, as a resting gear. Result is better economy but quite annoying and tiring to go always from 5th to 3rd...
the full review
Initially we loved it. Two radio replacements later along with faulty a/c controls, expensive x-mission repair, leaking sun roof (all covered by warranty) have left us questioning keeping this vehicle for 10+ years like we planned. So far $5k worth repairs on a 1.5 yr. Old vehicle does not bode well for Post warranty ownership. Will trade for a Ford fusion. We expected much more from a $30k vehicle. Will have a bad taste in my mouth for Subaru for a while. Gillman San Antonio could have done better also.
the full review
Have had 6 Subaru's before this one and this is the best of the lot. My first 6 cylinder and it doesn't disappoint. It's a sports car, take it to the supermarket, it will do anything you want. It's well built, so far trouble free and handsome. The engine purrs like a kitten and the exhaust has a sound like a Jaguar. I guess you can tell I love this car. We are keeping it over a new 2010. Did I say it's fun to drive!

Dr. Conrad Murray Looks to Quash Joe Jackson Lawsuit, Financial Claims as "Pure Hearsay"by Free Britney at . Comments
Already facing involuntary manslaughter charges stemming from the death of Michael Jackson, Dr. Conrad Murray is not happy with being hit with a wrongful death lawsuit by the late icon's money-hungry father, Joe Jackson.
You can bet he fights it tooth and nail, too. Here's why ...
Joe ... come on, man.
Dr. Murray's lawyer, Charles Peckham, is asking the judge to throw out statements attributed to Michael Jackson, specifically that Katherine Jackson was acting as his "agent," or a go-between, in funneling support money to Joe.
Peckham says claims that Katherine was MJ's agent - made by Joe's lawyer, Brian Oxman, and Leonard Rowe, self-proclaimed former advisor - are pure hearsay.
The key for Murray is establishing Joe was not financially harmed by the death of Michael, who cut his dad out of his will. Yet Joe says he was paid by Katherine.Oxman said in legal papers last week, "[Michael Jackson] supported his father, Joseph Jackson, by making payments to [Katherine Jackson] on a monthly basis."
Peckham calls Oxman an "incompetent legal expert."
Peckham also claims there is no proof Rowe ever served as Michael's advisor, and as a result, wants all statements (and thus the lawsuit) by Joe thrown out.
Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see Joe and Katherine on Oprah. Dude is like a bad penny, always turning up. And pretty worthless. Yes, we went there.
Please MJ fans, boycott Oprah. shes nothing but a female Bashir. the family say they wanna set the record straight about Michael but they could do this 1000 other ways and on 1000 other tv shows than on Oprah! Oprahs a 2 faced hypocrite who dont care about MJ she just cares about ratings! even if not, if shes all about "setting the record straight" and letting the world know the real MJ then we dont need to watch it- we already know the real MJ!:) x
