Expanding On A Mailbag Answer – Vikings Rushing DefensePosted by on December 18, 2009 – 3:38 pm
In Friday's mailbag feature, a reader asked if the Vikings rushing defense is as good as advertised or if the unit's numbers are so impressive because teams simply choose not to run against the Vikings. I thought it was a fair question, which is why I actually dug into some numbers and gave it extra thought.
Ultimately my opinion is that the rushing defense is as good (or maybe better) than widely thought. You can read my complete answer by clicking this link and checking out Friday's mailbag feature.
But I wanted to expand a little bit on my original answer.
For a short time during 2006, some questioned the legitimacy of the Vikings rushing defense because although they were not allowing many rushing yards, they also had the least number of rushes attempted against them. Ultimately, though, the thought that the rushing defense was so good because no one ran against them was neutralized by the fact that the Vikings allowed only 2.8 yards per attempt.
For the 2009 Vikings rushing defense, though, the yards per carry number isn't as impressive – the Vikings are allowing 4.1 yards per attempt. So that makes the "no one is running against them argument" a little more valid, right? Maybe, but there are other factors to consider and when those factors are considered, you can see why the Vikings rushing defense is actually as good as advertised, if not actually better.
A few things to consider…
— The Vikings have allowed only 3 rushing TDs all year, which is tied for 1st (New England) in the NFL.
— There's something to be said for a defense setting the tone of the game by shutting down the run. The running game is just as much about imposing your will upon the opponent as it is about actual production. The Vikings have the NFL's 2nd-ranked rushing defense in the 1st half, allowing just 3.4 yards per carry. This means that the Vikings are shutting down the run early and forcing teams out of their game plan and into pass-happy attacks. The Vikings have allowed 100 more rushing yards in the 2nd half of games than they have in the 1st half, which means teams are gaining most of their rushing yards against the Vikings at a time when the Vikings are usually protecting a lead and anticipating the pass (the Vikings have outscored opponents in the 2nd half by a 202-135 margin). So instead of using the "no one is running against them argument" against the Vikings, that argument can actually be used in support of the rushing defense.
— The Vikings rushing defense comes up when it counts the most. We already know they've given up a league-low 3 TDs, but they also lead the NFL in opponent's 3rd-and-short rushing conversion rate. Opposing teams convert just 38.9% of the time on the ground in 3rd and short (under 4 yards) scenarios against the Vikings.

Harvin, Rice QuestionablePosted by on December 18, 2009 – 2:30 pm
The Vikings have listed both Percy Harvin (illness) and Sidney Rice (illness) as questionable on Friday's injury report. Rice was held out of practice on Friday for the 2nd consecutive day but Harvin returned to practice for the 1st time since Wednesday.
DE Ray Edwards (back) is also questionable for Sunday's game.
Nine other players were on this week's injury report and they are all listed as probable for Sunday's game. You can read Friday's injury report by clicking here.
For the Panthers, QB Jake Delhomme (finger) has been ruled out of Sunday's game. CB Richard Marshall (ankle) and RB Tyrell Sutton (thigh) are listed as questionable. DE Tyler Brayton (concussion), LB Na'il Diggs (ribs), WR Muhsin Muhammed (knee) and RB Jonathan Stewart (toe) are probable.

Keeping Peppers CoolPosted by on December 18, 2009 – 10:57 am
It's hard to believe that we've talked Vikings-Panthers for the past 3 days but haven't yet mentioned DE Julius Peppers. Maybe it was because of his 2.5-sack season in 2007, but for some reason Peppers doesn't get as much hype as he used to.
If you take out that substandard 2007 season, here is a list of his sack totals beginning in his rookie season (2002): 12.0, 7.0, 11.0, 10.5, 13.0 and 14.5. So far this season, Peppers has 8.5 sacks. That's a grand total of 79.0 sacks, which ranks him 1st in Panthers history. Peppers, a 4-time Pro Bowler, is also 1st in franchise history with 24 forced fumbles and 8 blocked kicks.
As you can see, Peppers is an ultra-productive player. But he is also dangerous because of his versatility. He can play on either side of the line of scrimmage and he has a beautiful blend of size (6-7, 283 pounds), speed and power. As a result, offensive coordinators around the league are well-aware of the Panthers stud DE, regardless of the amount of hype he receives.
"You definitely have to know where he is at," Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said on Thursday. "He can turn it up at any time. Obviously he's an elite pass rusher. He's really got all the moves that you need. He's got enough speed to get around the edge. He can change the speed to power. They'll use him in stunts so he can end up on the inside. So they do a great job with him and obviously at any time he can show up."
But that's been the criticism of Peppers as of late, mostly because of that 2.5-sack effort in '07. Some say Peppers turns it on and off, rather than leaving it on at all times. While box scores certainly don't tell the whole story, you can see where Peppers' critics are coming from if you look at game-by-game logs in Peppers profile.
I'll assure you right now, though, that studying his game-by-game box scores to try and guess if this Sunday night will be an "on" day or an "off" day for the DE is a useless exercise. There are plenty of reasons to think Peppers will be at his best in terms of effort on Sunday night.
First of all, he's playing against one of the NFL's most lethal offenses and against an all-time great QB in Brett Favre. Any defensive player with an ounce of competitiveness – and Peppers is as competitive as any – loves a challenge. Secondly, this game is in prime time and will be televised by NBC, giving it a high-profile nature that seems to bring out the best in star players. Lastly, Peppers will share the field on Sunday with another superstar DE – Jared Allen. Peppers and Allen have trained together and Allen did not hesitate this week to express how he feels about Peppers as a player.
"Peppers is a beast. He is an absolute beast," Allen said, according to Chip Scoggins of the Star Tribune. "He does things that sometimes I wish I could do. I have nothing but good things to say about him. For how big he is, he moves so gracefully. He does things at that end position that set precedent of themselves. He has been a player that I have always liked to watch."
So the Vikings have a challenge this weekend in trying to keep Peppers cool. Peppers is listed as the RDE on the Panthers online depth chart, meaning those of us watching Sunday night's game will be treated to a colossal matchup – LT Bryant McKinnie vs. Peppers.
Hopefully Mt. McKinnie can keep Peppers cool.

Don't Sleep On Carolina's SecondaryPosted by on December 18, 2009 – 7:42 am
Last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Vikings got their running game back on track as Adrian Peterson logged his best game since Week 10 at home against Detroit and the Vikings as a team rushed the ball more than had in the previous pair of games.
The resurgence in the rushing game comes at a good time for the Vikings because this week they hit the road and will face a talented Carolina secondary that features a pair of hard-hitting safeties and a crop of collision-happy and ball-hawking CBs.
"They are a downhill playing crowd," Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress said of Carolina's secondary. "Knowing (head coach) John (Fox) is a defensive guy and a former secondary coach, I know how he values those guys and how they play.
"Whether it was back in the day of Danny Manning being there or (Mike) Minter, those guys have always played with an aggressive mindset and mentality. Rarely do you see them put defensive backs on the field that don't play that way."
The 2009 version of the Panthers secondary fits the mold of a traditional John Fox-coached unit. They rank 6th in yards allowed and have top 5 rankings in TDs allowed (13), INTs (18) and opponents passer rating (73.1).
From an individual standpoint, the Vikings have some familiarity with this unit. CB Chris Gamble and safeties Chris Harris and Charles Godfrey all started last year at the Metrodome against the Vikings and they'll also be on the field this Sunday night. The other starting CB – Richard Marshall – also played against the Vikings last year as a nickel back. Quinton Teal and Dante Wesley are 2 other players who will likely suit up this week that also played in last year's contest.
"I think they do a great job with their scheme," Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. "I know we've played against Gamble for a while. No pun intended, but he does like to gamble. He does like to sit on some routes, which has helped him over his career to be able to make big plays, to be able to get his hands on balls. (Richard) Marshall on the other side. I think they have some good players."
Against the Vikings last year, Carolina's secondary yielded just 186 net yards passing, intercepted Gus Frerotte once and also registered 1 of the club's 3 sacks when Godfrey brought Frerotte down behind the line of scrimmage.
Against the Vikings this year, Carolina has an added advantage – they're playing at home. Given their aggressive style, expect this unit to be amped up as they go against Brett Favre and Co.
"It will be a tough atmosphere for us that we have to respond to, no different than Arizona," Favre said. "If we don't rise up to the occasion against their defense, before we know it, we'll be in the same situation. I don't mean to speak for the other phases of our team.
"We have to handle our business and that is going to be tough enough."
Here's a closer look at the personnel in Carolina's secondary:
– Gamble was a 1st round pick of the Panthers out of Ohio State and has had an outstanding career to this point. He's 2nd in club history in INTs with 24 and he's got 4 of them this season. Last year at the Metrodome, he picked off Gus Frerotte.
— The other starting CB, Marshall, led the club in special teams tackles last season and this year he has 3 INTs and 67 tackles.
— Godfrey – Registered his 1st career sack against the Vikings last season and is a fierce tackler with 2 forced fumbles this season.
— Speaking of forced fumbles, one of the league's best at forcing fumbles is the other starting S – Chris Harris. He had 8 forced fumbles in 2007 and has 4 of them over the past 2 seasons. Harris also has 236 tackles since 2007 and has 1 INT this year.

Exceptional Tatyana
While the rest of the fashion world is focused on New York this weekend and the debut of designers 2014 spring ready to wear lines, ITFDS was focused on this fall. I love fall. I love the colors and the bite of cool temperatures that typically we awaken to in the Pacific Northwest this time of year. Another thing I love is to rediscover something I had put aside for a while and had not looked at. I do this a lot with dolls. I debox, photograph, then it is off to the next one. Even sweeter for me, is an opportunity to give a model their due. In other words, finally show or photograph something in a way that I have yet to be able to capture. I typically have something in my head that I want to capture when I photograph…but sometimes it just never transfers through the camera. That happened with this amazing Tatyana. Thanks to a very generous table mate at convention, I was able to purchase her and after deboxing, was never able to quite capture a set of photos I was happy with….until today.

What I am listening to in the studio this week:
The Journey
As many of you know, I have just returned from a month of traveling. It was the most amazing trip with my family and for a few glorious weeks some dear friends. The memories made during those travels are priceless and the new perspective I bring back with me every time I journey out of my own country is such a gift to me. I feel richer emotionally than when I left and so appreciative for all that I have seen, experienced and learned. My hope is that I can bring this into the pictures that I take.
For this set of photos, one of my new arrivals Ms. Splendid Jordan has just returned from a journey of her own. I wish I had her luggage…..

I am constantly amazed and inspired by my fellow doll collector community bloggers. A recent blog post by Shuga-Shug got me thinking about a new arrival in a whole new way so it was time to do a redress.

Buenos Aires Victoire
It would appear that most if not all who wanted to obtain this fabulous Victoire, were able to do so. I had expressed a concern that she would be hard to obtain and I am happy to be wrong. Many collectors are pointing to an almost eerie evocation of Evita Peron in Chris Stoekel's design. After receiving her, I can totally relate. More often than not, I open a highly anticipated doll and am a bit underwhelmed. Promotional shots are designed to show off the best side of a product and it is almost certain that there are times where the promo shots oversell an item. In the case of Ms. Buenos Aires, I am happy to report that the promo shots simply did not do her justice. She is even prettier in person. I always love when that happens. Of course this is only my opinion so take that into consideration.
Here are her "window" shots.

ITFDS is finally back online!!
Hello loyal readers. First off..I have to say I am sorry. I had every intention of posting every Friday but did not factor in how unreliable my Wi-Fi would be while traveling. In retrospect, I should have hung my "Gone Fishing" sign up and left it at that. Live, Learn. Happily I was able to post travel photos to my Flickr while we traveled ( it was a slow and painful process though) so for those who followed along on that, I am happy you enjoyed them. Thank you for all your comments! They were much appreciated.
We had the most amazing time journeying through Europe and my mind is absolutely bursting with new diorama ideas. I will be working on those in the coming months along with some new doll related business ventures ( more info to come….). For now, I will post some of the photos I had lined up to share while I was traveling.

Imogene Gets a Boater Ensemble
It was no surprise that when Integrity Toys released their Funny Face line of dolls, I was all over them. My particular favorite was "Think Pink!". I also have a particular fondness for suits so it was time to put these two favorites together for a photo shoot. Also, as Imogene dons her "boater ensemble" and takes some time to perhaps jet off to some glamorous destination, Inside The Fashion Doll Studio will be posting a little less for a bit as this blogger/photographer takes some time to do a few other things. Doll posts should continue every Friday but don't expect much more than that.

The highlight in my opinion of Integrity's mini collection releases yesterday was the Victoire Roux offering. As luck would have it…it's another Lottery.

If not, I will be begging…oh yes, I will be begging and avidly searching the secondary market for a chance to purchase.

Staying on top of things I see! This will be a great help as well as timely for those who are now just going for the new version of IE 9.
I had forgotten about finding the green arrow option for seeing the IE Favorites moved over to the left when running the RC until seeing the guide here.

It did not take you long to do this fine tut. Thanks Shawn. Just today I was giving the people in my computer club first instructions about IE9. But that one I did not know. I will use it next Wednesday - with your permission.

I like to propose a completely different solution to the problem that I use and found to be very practical:
!. Install Rocket Dock, right click on the dock and autohide it. When you "bump" the cursor to the top of the screen, it will appear.
2. Place your Favorites folder into the Rocket Dock (just drag a folder shortcut from the desktop into the dock.). To get at the folder, type Favorites into start/search and it will show up. You can delete the shortcut on the desktop once it is in the dock.
3. When you look for a website URL, open the Favorites folder from the dock. It is a lot easier to deal with that (set the folder view to List) than rolling the bar down - especially if you have a gezillion folders and files like me.
4. An added advantage is that you can search in the Favorites folder if you do not remember where you stuck the particular website that you are looking for. Many of my folders have up to 25 entries (subfolders and URLs) and I often forget where I put things.
Note: The Rocket Dock is particularily handy because you can always easily access it. But you can also put the Favorites folder shortcut into the taskbar, Toolbar or even the Start menu. But that always needs an additional click to get at it.

Hello Wolfgang,
Thank you, but I'm not sure what problem you are referring to though.
If it's with the Favorites Center, then I suppose that you could just use Favorites on the Menu bar in IE9 instead.

If it's with the Favorites Center, then I suppose that you could just use Favorites on the Menu bar in IE9 instead.
Attachment 144214
The way I describe my use of Favorites has the advantage that you see all your Favorites on one page and that you are able to search in the folder in case you do not remember where things are.
This may not apply to people who have few favorites or a good memory. But once you have over 1500 files in the folders, it is sure handy. And I never liked the way you search for a link in the IE Favorites - left or right.
PS; The favorites on the menu bar are the worst interface in my book. I hate those fly-outs.

Instead of the need to pin any folder you can simply open the menu bar>View>explorer bars and click on the favorties item there to them open up on the left and stay open. Click the X or the Favorites icon to the right of the address bar to close.
That ends up being a three step process however. Plus not everyone runs RocketDock being a 3rd party addon. The guide here works for those who run without any addons. This shows how the Favorites work when using the Favorites icon itself.
Hey Shawn have you digg(ed) this and the other IE 9 guides you have ready? I meant to ask that one!

"We love this card. We love how fun, unique, and fresh the card feels. It is particularly fitting for our family since my husband is Jewish and I am not, the card manages to cover all the bases without taking itself too seriously, while remaining respectful and appropriate for both sides of the family."
"We order thru Costco and we loved this card. Great colors and very good quality. We only think that the back of the card is a little bit busy. Overall it was a good purchased and we are satisfied."
"This design caught my eye immediately, and the finished product did not disappoint. I added rounded corners and the overall effect is stunning, different, and so tasteful. The matte paper quality was excellent. And I loved the font, which I also used on the return address of the envelope. I wanted a neutral yet very attractive card design and this was the absolutely perfect choice. I'm more than completely satisfied."

The active component of RELENZA is zanamivir, an antiviral agent.
RELENZA is indicated for treatment of uncomplicated acute illness due to influenza A and B virus in adults and pediatric patients 7 years and older who have been symptomatic for no more than 2 days (see Description of Clinical Studies and PRECAUTIONS).
RELENZA is not recommended for treatment of patients with underlying airways disease (such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) (see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS).

Efficacy of oseltamivir-zanamivir combination compared to each monotherapy for seasonal influenza: a randomized placebo-controlled trial. [2010.11.02]CONCLUSIONS: In adults with seasonal influenza A mainly H3N2 virus infection, the oseltamivir-zanamivir combination appeared less effective than oseltamivir monotherapy, and not significantly more effective than zanamivir monotherapy. Despite the theoretical potential for the reduction of the emergence of antiviral resistance, the lower effectiveness of this combination calls for caution in its use in clinical practice.

Safety Study to Assess IV Zanamivir for Treatment of Influenza Infection in Patients Who Are in Hospital [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine whether zanamivir aqueous solution given by
intravenous injection is safe in treating hospitalized patients with confirmed influenza
infection. A single arm open-label design has been selected to achieve the primary
objective of providing regulatory authorities with safety data on IV zanamivir.
Evaluation of Efficacity and Safety of Oseltamivir and Zanamivir [Not yet recruiting]
In order to prevent the high mortality due to an hypothetic pandemic caused by a newly
emerging influenza A virus, antiviral drugs are seen as essential requirements for control of
initial influenza outbreaks. Two antivirals are available for the treatment oseltamivir and
zanamivir. Emergence of Oseltamivir resistance has been recently reported. . It appeared
opportune to assess the efficacy and safety of biotherapy of neuraminidase inhibitors ,will
be investigated by a randomized, placebo controlled, double blind study in France, during the
next winter season . This study will be conducted in 300 centres of primary care with 900
adults with a virologically suspected influenza A infection. Individuals will be randomized
to 1 of the 3 treatment groups: oseltamivir +zanamivir, or oseltamivir+placebo or placebo
+zanamivir. The primary judgment criteria will be the proportion of patients with negative RT
PCR negative in nasal secretions at Day 2.

This study is a 4 period study to see if there is any interaction between Orally-Administered
Oseltamivir and Intravenous Zanamivir in Healthy Thai Adult Subjects
Pharmacokinetic Study of Oseltamivir and Intravenous Zanamivir in Healthy Adults [Recruiting]
Due in part to widespread availability of oseltamivir and clinical experience using
oseltamivir to treat H5N1 influenza virus infections, many strains of influenza have become
resistant to it. Other reliable methods of treating H5N1 must be identified in case of a
pandemic. One such option is intravenous zanamivir used in combination with oseltamivir. The
primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the interaction between oral oseltamivir and
intravenous zanamivir administered as either a continuous or intermittent infusion in
healthy adults.
A Clinical Trial Comparing Oseltamivir With Placebo And Zanamivir With Control As First Line Treatment For Human Swine Influenza Infection [Recruiting]
The outbreak of respiratory illnesses in Mexico that began in March 2009 was caused by a
swine origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV) that had not been recognized previously in
pigs or humans. As of 17 May 2009, 39 countries have officially reported 8480 cases of
influenza A (H1N1) infection.
The H1N1 influenza A virus appears sensitive to oseltamivir and zanamivir in vitro, but
resistant to amantadine and rimantadine. This study is to test the oseltamivir, zanamivir
and placebo arms as the first line treatment for human swine influenza infection. Through
the study, the investigators may have better understanding about the clinical and,
biochemical, virological profiles of oseltamivir/zanamivir on the H1N1 virus, and optimizing
the treatment strategy among the Chinese population.

"Wild for the Night" feat. Skrillex
This song shouldn't work. Skrillex's name on the tracklist inspired many eye rolls — it seemed like a blatant, contrived ploy to touch on the already peaking dubstep craze from the subgenre's most prominent face. Until you hear it. A$AP and Skrillex wisely avoided dubstep's expected bass growls in favor of frenetic bending synths, reggae skanks and robot adlibs. It's an adrenaline burst, a much-needed respite from the album's syrupy dream state.

DEFINITION of 'Guarantee Fees'
Fees charged by mortgage-backed securities (MBS) providers, such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, to lenders for bundling, servicing, selling and reporting MBS to investors. The main component of the guarantee fee is charged to protect against credit-related losses in the mortgage portfolio (think of it like MBS insurance), but small sub-fees are also deducted to cover internal expenses for such services as:
-Managing and administering the securitized mortgage pools
-Selling the MBS to investors
-Reporting to investors and the SEC
-Maintaining the MBS on the open market, and selling, general and administrative expense
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Guarantee Fees'
Commonly known in the industry as "g-fees", this small deduction (the average is 15-25 basis points in relation to the stated coupon rate) allows the corporations selling the MBS to make a profit, while benefiting both mortgage lenders and borrowers by making groups of mortgages more marketable and liquid. This helps bring investor capital into the business, allowing all participants to lower their risk exposure and enabling them to offer mortgages to borrowers of lower credit quality.
The coupon rate on an MBS (also known as the pass-through rate) is the average rate on the underlying mortgages minus the guarantee fees.

A sampling of driver ratings
Men's Health magazine ranked drivers in 100 U.S. cities using information from the Governors Highway Safety Association, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Allstate Insurance. Traffic fatalities and fatal accidents caused by speeding were among the key factors that determined each city's rank. Des Moines, Iowa, was seen as having the best drivers; Columbia, S.C., scored the worst. Manchester ranked 45th in the worst-to-best lineup and received a C+ from the magazine.
Editors at The Daily Beast website announced in 2010 that they had figured out where the best and worst drivers lived. The Beast's survey looked at fatal crashes for 2009 and whether they were caused by alcohol, distracted driving or traffic law violators. It found that Connecticut was home to the country's best drivers, but New Hampshire wasn't far behind and was ranked fifth-safest place to drive in the country. The Beast's survey looked at fatal crashes for 2009 and whether they were caused by alcohol, distracted driving or traffic law violators.
Insurance.com. ranked Manchester among the 10 worst cities for drivers. The online marketplace took a statistical shotgun approach and added up everything it could find, from highway fatalities to auto thefts to vehicle vandalism in its ratings.
GMAC Insurance skips statistics and ranked states according to driver scores on a multiple-choice quiz on the basic rules of the road. In 2010, New Hampshire came in 43rd for its scores on a test that included a question on whether you should decrease speed and stop, or accelerate when you approach an intersection with a yellow light. However, in 2011, it came in 38th place.
As for New Hampshire's 17,000 miles of local and state roadways, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave them a grade of C.
And according to the Road Information Project, TRIP, a national transportation research group, 37 percent of New Hampshire's state roads, or 4,559 miles of highway, have pavement in poor condition. At the current level of funding, pavement will be a problem on 43 percent of state roads by 2016.
TRIP also surveyed rural roads throughout the country in 2008 and found 21 percent of the state's major rural roads were in poor condition what another 39 percent were rated fair or mediocre.

Did you see the recent Phil Collins comedy special on CBS? As I watched it, I kept wondering, "What is this doing on my TV?" The answer came at the end. This protracted one-joke exercise existed mainly as a promo for Phil's pay-per-view concert (Tues., Oct. 2, 8 P.M. ET). Now, that's clout: shanghaiing a prime-time network slot to sell your next project. As Jon Lovitz was wont to say in one of Saturday Night Live's funniest ongoing skits last year, "Plug away."

Rosso flew in from New York Friday evening to host his daughter Alessia's 23rd birthday celebration at West Hollywood nightclub Guy's, where about 90 guests, including Rosso's son Stefano, reveled late into the evening, sipping Champagne and dancing to loud tunes spun by the club's DJ. Alessia Rosso — who appeared to thoroughly enjoy the company of the evening's hard-partying crowd — has lived in Los Angeles for about two years, and is studying film and TV production, an experience that may soon come in handy as her father said he plans to launch a media outlet under the Diesel brand in the future. "I'm glad she's here, I love California because it's got a different energy and is so incredible," Renzo Rosso said. "The most important people are here, and you can meet them in a friendly way not possible in New York City." Despite the California love, the elder Rosso didn't linger in the Golden State, jetting back to New York the next evening for Diesel's Black Gold show and the brand's Fifth Avenue store opening today.

[Commentary] AT&T is making a bold promise to consumers: If the Federal Communications Commission drop its attempt to strengthen network neutrality, subscribers will actually pay less for Internet than they would otherwise. The gist of AT&T's argument is that the rise of bandwidth-intensive applications, such as streaming video, puts undue burdens on the company. If content firms like Netflix paid their fair share, broadband providers could reduce the cost to consumers. The implied threat, however, is that your Internet bills could actually go up if content companies refuse to pay a toll. A standoff seems inevitable. But there is a third option: ISPs could accelerate upgrades to the country's broadband infrastructure now. It's not like they can't afford it. In 2013, AT&T turned a profit of $49 billion. To say that regulators must decide between increasing costs on companies like Netflix or raising prices on consumers is to present a false choice. Rising demand is a fact of the industry. Meeting that demand is what network operators are built to do.

Cana Cuban Parlor & Cafe, Oakland - any reports?
- hhc Mar 1, 2011 12:05 PM
I read that Cana Cuban Parlor & Cafe opened recently in Oakland. They have:
Cubano sandwiches
Cuban black beans & rice
Serve Blue Bottle Coffee
Chocolate chip cookies
Any reports?
Cana Cuban Parlor & Cafe
530 Lake Park Ave
Hrs: 7a-2:30p M-Sat
Dinner hrs: Coming soon
Oakland Tribune writeup:
Blue Bottle Cafe
66 Mint St, San Francisco, CA 94103
I like this place. The space is really attractive, although there's almost no indoors seating yet (from the Trib article hhc linked, it looks like they're renovating the space next door). The kitchen is disproportionately large - it looked to be 2-3X the size of the miniscule front - and had way more employees than I'd expect for a space this size. Maybe they're doing a lot of catering as well? I peered as far back as i could see, and I saw what I thought were several large marble pastry slabs - from the quality of the pastry in the breakfast empanada (super light and flaky) and the pastel de guayaba (tender-crisp), I believe that the pastry is made in-house.
I've had the empanada con huevo (the aforementioned flaky pastry, wrapped around scrambled egg, ham, and queso fresco, and deep fried to order), which was excellent, and possibly the best value on the menu at $3 (my takeout menu says $4, but I could swear it was $3 on the chalkboard). I tried the tiny and intense Cafe Cubano - sugar without milk isn't really my style, but I wanted to see what it was like, esp with Blue Bottle beans. I also tried the Cubano sandwich, which was a touch too salty for me.
The pastel de guayaba was terrific, with guava mixed throughout the sweet cheese filling, then topped with a guava glaze, on that excellent buttery crust. The pastries all look great, if a bit pricey, and seem to change with some frequency. I wish I'd written down the selection I saw the day before - I just remembered there was an interesting mix of classic pastries and classics with a modern twist.
I'd say in general, everything's a little pricier, smaller, and slower to come out than I'd expect, but the quality is also very high. I look forward to working my way through the menu.

re: daveena
Pastel de guayaba! Haven't seen one of the Bay Area for a few years now, thanks for mentioning it.
Cana Cuban Parlor & Cafe
530 Lake Park Ave, Oakland, CA 94610
re: Melanie Wong
I don't have much experience with Cuban food - the only other pastel de guayaba I've ever had was from the Cafe Versailles in the Miami airport - it was more of a turnover-type, rustic hand-held pastry, so that's what I thought I was ordering. Caña's is definitely a Frenchified, refined version. But it is very, very good.
re: daveena
My experience with pastelito de guayaba is only N=3. Here's the first one I tried from a Dominican bakery in Harlem,
The other two were pale imitations, one from Cafe Lo Cubano in SF (now closed) and the other from a Cuban-Calif bakery in San Diego.
re: daveena
Tried the breakfast empanada w/ egg, ham, and queso fresco (definitely $4 now) today. Not a lot of actual "ham" that I could detect (more just the grease that had cooked out of some kind of chorizo or something), but pretty tasty. We also got an order of the regular picadillos ($8 for 2), which were great, packed with a generous amount of well-seasoned ground beef filling that was specked with slightly-sweet raisins. Everything was on the greasy side, but not in a bad way. The woman at the counter said you could mix and match the empanadas, so they're all basically $4 a pop. I think the other two options were both vegetarian, or vegetable-based anyway.
We also got an order of the tostones with mojo sauce. These were expertly fried with a nice crunch to them, but a little bland-tasting without the sauce. And the sauce itself was sweeter than I would have liked. At $4 for just five or six (large-ish) pieces, I thought this was on the pricey side.
I didn't mind the Cafe Cubano, but for this kind of sweet coffee drink, I think I'd rather get a Vietnamese coffee and have a whole cupful for the same price instead of just a small shot. (I assume they used a shot of the Blue Bottle espresso, but with all that sugar, the coffee flavor didn't seem any more intense than what you'd get with strongly brewed drip coffee.) Too sweet for my taste too.
Pastel de guayaba is sitting in my fridge for later.
Sign in front said they're open for dinner now, but I didn't see if they have a separate menu for that and forgot to ask. At about 1pm on a finally-sunny Monday, the place was doing great business, with all the tables (three outside and one inside) occupied and lots of people ordering takeout.
re: abstractpoet
So far I have tried the meat empanadas, the plaintains, a few pastries and the coffee.
Coffee: Meh. The cafe con leche was too sweet for me (well to be expected). The espresso drinks are really bitter oddly.
Empanadas: Win, win! These are yummy.
Plantains: inconsistent. Half the time they are undercooked. (tostones and madura). Of the 4 times I have had them, they have only been cooked properly once. Not sure if I will give it another try.
Rice and beans: bland unfortunately. The rice was a little sticky.
I haven't tried the main plates yet. It seems they are about $1-2 too expensive. I'll need to go with a bigger group.
Pastries: very good.
So far, 3 stars out of 5. The empanadas will keep me coming back.
The Cubano sandwich was probably one of the meatier examples however the roast pork was a tad dry. The cheese was there and runny melted. The pickles could have been sourer but I did like the sandwich. Possibly Mikey's is better but Cana is closer and no bridge.
Got a few items to go off the newish dinner menu tonight. Overall, I liked the food a bit less than what we'd tried for lunch. Wanted the Cuban Fried Chicken but they were sold out, so we got the Lechon Asado ($12). It was OK, but the flavor profile is a bit on the sour side (my wife hated this, actually). Not sure if that's traditional. For $6 more, they made it into a meal and included rice and beans (listed on the menu as "Christianos y Moros") and plantains. The plantains were very sweet and were served with a whipped cream-like crema, so it was more of a dessert than a side dish. I guess this would be my main complaint about the food at Cana: Sometimes it runs a bit sweeter or more sour than I'd like it to, especially the sauces. Again, don't know if that makes it inauthentic or very authentic.
We also tried the veggie picadillo, which has a filling made up mostly of ground mushrooms. Pretty good, but the beef version is better.
On the other hand, the Chocolate-Ancho Chili cookie I got for dessert was excellent. Chewy, nutty, coated in powdered sugar. Not very spicy, but enough of a kick to keep things interesting.
re: abstractpoet
The traditional pork marinade is mostly sour orange juice. Platanos maduros are sweet, tostones (made with green plantains) are not.
re: Robert Lauriston
I'm aware that fried plantains are usually sweet; these were just especially so. I didn't dislike them, but they just felt more like a dessert than anything else--the whipped cream "dip" that came with them made this especially true.
And while the tostones at Cana aren't sweet, the mojo sauce that comes with them is quite sweet. I've not had many restaurant versions of tostones, so I don't know if that's typical or not.
re: abstractpoet
I usually find Cuban maduros too sweet and dessert-like.
I don't think I've ever had sweet mojo.
re: Robert Lauriston
Have had a similar experience at Havana, in Alameda (I guess they changed the name to "Habanas" now?). We ordered the "mixed grill", and it came with a sweet sauce very similar to what they serve with the tostones at Cana. In both cases, it was off-putting (even more so at Havana). And the food at Havana struck me as distinctly inauthentic (and just not that good)--though, like I said, I don't know enough about the cuisine to say that with any authority.
And yeah, if this is a representative example, then I think I prefer the plantain preps in Caribbean cooking and South American cooking.
1518 Park St, Alameda, CA 94501
re: abstractpoet
I didn't find the food at Havana inauthentic. It sounds like you don't like Cuban food much, which is blander than other Caribbean food.
BTW the too sweet plaintains might have been fried bananas. Local restaurants including Paladar have been known to substitute them. San Miguel not only served fried bananas as plantains, they sprinkled sugar on them.
re: Windy
"It sounds like you don't like Cuban food much, which is blander than other Caribbean food."
That's possible. Though I certainly do enjoy a Cubano sandwich when it's done well, I've rarely met an empanada that I don't like, and I do like tostones--but I think what I had in the past were the Puerto Rican kind, and they weren't served with a sweet sauce. (As I mentioned, the tostones at Cana are actually quite good, if not the best value; I just don't really like that sauce.)
Authentic or not, I just wasn't all that impressed by the food at Havana/Habanas: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/4769...
Overall, I liked the Cubano from Cana. there was a decent amount of moist, flavorful meat and I liked the chibatta like bread.
the Oakland Tribune link in the OP mentions hot mustard, but the sandwich was on the sweet side. it tasted like they put some of the mojo (which is definitely sweet) on the sandwich.
re: drewskiSF
Lucky guy, must have been the ponytail, beret and pink parasol, my pork was dry. Otherwise good sandwich,see above.
re: drewskiSF
My ponytail didn't help me.
I really wanted to like this sandwich but it didn't cooperate. It was actually like two different sandwiches- one side was drenched in a disturbingly sweet sauce and had no ham and the other had some nice ham and hot mustard that really added something. Both sides shared the bread which I loved, the cheese that only added texture, the pickles that couldn't decide what kind they were and the DRY, stringy pork.
I'm glad I tried this sandwich because I really wanted to but it is now out of my system. It wasn't worth the wait or the price tag. It's a shame because it is a cute little space and the people seem really nice.
Finally made time to stop in and pick up the cubano sandwich last Saturday after a visit to the Grand Lake Farmer's Market. We decided to get 2 cubanos and 2 porchetta sandwiches from Roli Roti at the market (!!) and split them among 4 people, each getting a half of each sandwich. Holy porky goodness! Fantastic meal.
The worst part of the meal was the wait at Cana. It took almost 20 minutes to get our 2 sandwiches to go. Shouldn't this be a pretty quick one for them to bust out? The wait proved worth it. One of the best cubans I think I've had in a while. I thought the pork was moist and well flavored. The ham hit with a bang of hammy taste but was a bit on the greasy side. I'm not a big fan of pickles so took out a few from the sandwich and left a few in to get the taste and texture contrast. Definitely will be going back, and looking forward to trying dinner items and getting some fried maduras. They said the restaurant side won't be open for "a few more months." Must be a ton of renovating going on.
Decor was cute in the cafe side, but very limited seating out in front. Nice vibe with happy, friendly staff. The cooks were practically dancing in the kitchen. Hmm, maybe that's why my sandwich took 20 minutes.

re: selectiveomnivore
Twenty minutes is faster than my last single Cubano to go from Versailles on Calle Ocho....
re: twocents
Different time zone, Cuban Standard Time.
re: selectiveomnivore
The cashier told me today that they are shooting for *October* for opening the "Parlor" side. She said things were going slower than they originally planned.
I also got another Cubano and the roast pork was distinctly darker in color and more intensely flavored than in previous ones, like some sauce was applied after chopping it up. It varied in flavor intensity on one half of the sandwich vs. the other.
re: drewskiSF
mi espousa cara is quite fond of cubanos, not that she's tried any in Miami, so I got her one from Caña to try. her verdict, decent enough but not close to equalling my homemade pseudo-cubano : some thinly sliced porchetta, a few slices of either la Quercia speck americano or Fatted Calf coppa, whichever is in the fridge, ementhaler cheese (sometimes with a little aged, sharp cheddar mixed in), sliced tomato from Wild Boar Farm, slice of dill pickle, whole grain mustard on either 'Pain Pascal' or Starter Bakery semolina bread, and toasted on a steel or cast iron pan under a heavy lid. it does require about twenty minutes for assembly and proper toasting.

Microsoft pockets Azure cloud automator startup MetricsHub
Summary: A startup in a Microsoft's incubator is now a free service in the Azure cloud.
Microsoft has acquired cloud startup MetricsHub, a company that monitors and automates resource allocation for applications in Microsoft's Azure cloud.
Microsoft announced the acquisition on Monday but has not disclosed the value of the deal.
MetricsHub was one of 10 companies awarded $20,000 by VC fund TechStars in the Microsoft Accelerator 2012 program, which is an incubator for startups with ideas for Kinect and Azure. Recipients also get support in the form of free hosting and mentorship.
The Washington-based startup's tools allow customers to collect performance data on cloud applications to determine how and when they need to scale, in addition to providing rules-based automation, such as scaling certain Azure roles or setting minimums and maximums for the number of instances.
"We think it's going to save customers time, money and headaches," said Bob Kelly, Microsoft's corporate vice president of strategy and business development.
A "pre-release, no charge, version" of its premium Active Cloud Monitoring product is being offered to Azure customers through the Azure Store, essentially bundling its premium service as a free add-on for Azure clients.
"MetricsHub will now offer all Windows Azure customers our premium product as a pre-release, no charge, service available through the Windows Azure Store. We will also be converting all paying customers to this no-charge version of the service and MetricsHub technology will continue to keep your cloud applications running," MetricsHub announced.

Lithe: Enabling Efficient Composition of Parallel Libraries
Free registration required
Executive Summary
For the software industry to take advantage of multicore processors, the authors must allow programmers to arbitrarily compose parallel libraries without sacrificing performance. They argue that high-level task or thread abstractions and a common global scheduler cannot provide effective library composition. Instead, the operating system should expose unvirtualized processing resources that can be shared cooperatively between parallel libraries within an application. In this paper, they describe a system that standardizes and facilitates the exchange of these unvirtualized processing resources between libraries.

A plan to limit the number of lawsuits filed by Nebraska prison inmates will be heard by a legislative committee.
Members of the Judiciary Committee on Friday are scheduled to discuss Omaha Sen. Scott Lautenbaugh's bill to ban lawsuits from inmates who have filed three or more frivolous lawsuits.
The bill would prevent inmates from filing a lawsuit in state court at public expense if they have previously brought at least three cases determined by the court to be frivolous.
The measure is intended to save time and money for courts that currently handling frivolous inmate cases.
The three strike provision would apply only to lawsuits filed after the law is enacted.
