An "artificial leaf" could turn your home into its own power and gas station, reports Jack Hitt in The New York Times (3/31/14). The artificial leaf, pioneered by Harvard chemist Daniel Nocera, "generates energy more or less the way a tree does. Light strikes a container of water and out bubbles hydrogen, an energy source." In this case, the "leaf" is a "silicon strip coated in catalysts" that "breaks down the water molecule such that on one side oxygen bubbles up and on the other, hydrogen, which can be used as a fuel." (video)
"You can drop it in a glass of water and hold it up to a window," says Daniel. "You won't need heavy engineering." What you will need, however, is some means to convert the hydrogen into fuel — specifically, "a fuel cell, which can turn hydrogen into electricity … This is comparable to what Elon Musk struggles with in selling Tesla's electric cars. He has to persuade the public not only to buy a new kind of car, but all that goes with it: the infrastructure of batteries, charging stations, high-voltage home plugs and new kinds of auto mechanics."
"If we had fuel cells in your house and your car, then everybody would be trying to implement the artificial leaf right now," says Daniel. Fracking — the hydraulic fracturing of rock to release natural gas or oil — could be the key because it "could drive the establishment of an infrastructure for using hydrogen in the home," says Daniel. In turn, the artificial leaf might provide an alternative to the carbon dioxide pollution associated with fracking. When that happens, he says, "Your house will be its own gas station."

|Unpredictable Spartans make Izzo edgy going into Big Ten tourney
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 11 March 2008 00:14
The coach was worked up Monday about the free-throw disparity that worked against Michigan State in three crucial losses, the critics who knocked the Spartans even when they were 19-2 and his team's inconsistent play.
The 19th-ranked Spartans were undefeated at home this year, lost five of their last six road games and won three of four games on a neutral court.
Heading into this week's Big Ten tournament, no one - including Izzo - is sure what to expect.
``I have trouble judging where this team is,'' Izzo said.
The Spartans (24-7, 12-6 Big Ten) will be the No. 4 seed in Indianapolis, where it will play No. 5 Ohio State (19-12, 10-8) in a rematch of the regular-season finale. The winner will likely play top-seeded Wisconsin.
Michigan State fell apart Sunday on the road against the Buckeyes, scoring just two points in the last five-plus minutes and turning over the ball a season-high 21 times in a 63-54 loss.
``The turnovers definitely were a shame,'' Izzo said. ``But it's correctable and I'm looking forward to playing them again.''
In the three games against Iowa, Penn State and Ohio State, opponents combined to shoot 100 free throws to Michigan State's 31.
``Hacking you can control, some of the other things you can't control,'' Izzo said.
Even though Izzo often says he tries to block out what outsiders think of his program, it usually bothers him on some level.
``People think a lot more about our team away from home than they do here,'' Izzo said.
A bit reluctantly, Izzo agrees with those who believe Michigan State did not meet expectations in the regular season because senior guard Drew Neitzel struggled at times.
The preseason All-American and Big Ten player of the year made a pair of 3-pointers in the first 1:23 against in the last game against the Buckeyes, then went scoreless by missing his next three attempts and passing up a shot that led to a clock violation late in the game.
Neitzel is averaging 13.4 points - down from 18.1 as a junior - and has shot about half as many free throws compared to last season. The lackluster season left him off the Wooden Award's top 24 list, which was released Monday, but Big Ten coaches put him on the All-Big Ten team.
``I don't think he's coming off picks as hard as he did last year and he's passing up some shots,'' Izzo said. ``When that happens, you're not as confident as you should be.
``You can coach a team, but you're not a psychologist, who can jump into somebody's brain.''
Izzo, though, hopes Neitzel can play up to his potential for the rest of the month in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments.
``Maybe this is a new start for him,'' Izzo said.

Design gets more Diverse
23 August 2013 9:57 PM | No Comments
LONDON — One night at design school in London, Eddie Opara was working late with a friend, Kojo Boateng. "A friend of ours came in and was like: 'Why are you still here?"' he recalled. "Kojo said: 'It's because we're black. We have to work harder than you.' I don't know if it was true, but that was how we felt."
Twenty years later, Mr. Opara is a partner of Pentagram, the prestigious design group in New York, and Mr. Boateng is design director of ITN, the television news network in London. They have joined the elite band of successful black designers in Europe and North America, which includes Gail Anderson in graphics, Joshua Darden in typography and the furniture designer Stephen Burks.

Introduction: Envisioning Blackness In American Graphic Design
23 August 2013 9:52 PM | No Comments
by Maurice Woods
Black culture has had a huge impact on the fertility and diversity of American culture. The Black struggle has evolved from the depths of slavery and the Civil Rights Movement, to positions of leadership in the forefront of civic, urban and corporate America. Through mass media, Black people have introduced a unique cultural perspective that has cultivated an aesthetic in American society. As a method of communication, graphic design provides Blacks with the opportunity to improve the image of-and perhaps the self-concept of'-the community by presenting these perspectives of African American life visually. However, within the history of graphic design to present day, the invisibility of Black designers has contributed to a virtually non-existent Black aesthetic.
I argue that there could be a design aesthetic derived from principles and ideals Blacks express in the way they live. As a Black graphic designer, I am presented with a unique opportunity to investigate a Black aesthetic within mainstream graphic design and the mass media of American popular culture. In investigating the Black aesthetic within the discipline of graphic design, I seek to answer the following questions: (1) what is the history of the Black aesthetic-how has art been used to present Black imperatives, (2) what are some of the identifiers that define the Black aesthetic, (3) are there benefits of a cultural identity for Blacks entering graphic design, and (4) is there a Black aesthetic being used by the marketing departments and advertising agencies of major corporations?

Searching for a Black Aesthetic in American Graphic Design:
Sylvia Harris has drawn together evidence to add weight to her understanding of the impact of black culture behind the key figures and points of style in art and design. She is trying to focus young African or African American graphic designers to draw on their cultural influences rather than to emulate the established main stream aesthetic. She has highlighted quite poignantly the pitfalls for African cultural groups within the design industry. Her belief that by not embracing and intermingling the culture of African and African Americans within design we have lost a style aspects which would benefit the industry as a whole, and that African and African American have inadvertently done themselves a disservice as by adopting the main stream norm they feel under confident with what they have to offer.

Rebuilding a Sustainable Haiti: Symposium – June 4Posted on May 24, 2010 | No Comments
Urgent as the immediate need for shelter and housing is, Haiti's long-term economic and social welfare depends on a comprehensive approach to planning for a more sustainable future; the rebuilding process must seek to transform the country's built environment, not just replace it. With the help of many foreign countries, NGOs, and its own rich diaspora community, the Haitian government has developed the outlines of a post-earthquake action plan, the Action Plan for the Reconstruction and National Development of Haiti.Using this plan and its corollary, the Post Disaster Needs Assessment as a starting point for discussion, the Institute for Urban Design is planning a major conference on June 4 focused on long-term and sustainable rebuilding in Haiti.
IfUD will convene architects, planners, public health specialists, representatives from NGOs, and government officials from both Haiti and the United States to identify specific needs, and develop an action plan to address them. The conference is designed to leverage the incredible experience of the design and planning community in the Northeast, complementing local efforts to rebuild in an innovative and just way.
Leading this important discussion is Leslie Voltaire, the planner heading the Haitian government's Reconstruction Team and a UN Special Envoy to Haiti. He will be joined by a panelists with a wealth of experience in the worlds of development, infrastructure, land tenure, education, slum upgrading, and post-disaster planning. They include:
Ami Desai, Foreign Policy Advisor, Clinton Foundation
Patrice Nevil, Director of Infrastructure, Partners in Health
Chris Williams, Washington DC Representative, UN-HABITAT
Louis Herms Marcelin, Director, Interuniversity Institute for Research and Development Haiti (INURED)
David Evans, Chief Technical Advisor, UN-HABITAT Sri Lanka
Steven Lewis, President, National Organization of Minority Architects

Haitian Reconstruction FundPosted on May 12, 2010 | No Comments
by Atim Annette Oton
Brazil became the first contributor to the Haitian Reconstruction Fund, managed by the World Bank. This is the first country to fulfill its promise of the $10 Billion promised to Haiti at the International Donors' Conference.
WASHINGTON, May 11 (Reuters) – Brazil became the first contributor to a reconstruction fund for Haiti on Tuesday and World Bank President Robert Zoellick urged other donor nations to make good on their aid pledges to help the Caribbean country rebuild from a devastating earthquake in January.
Brazil, which commands a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Haiti, said it had paid $55 million into the World Bank-supervised fund. In March, international donors pledged $10 billion over a decade to help impoverished Haiti rebuild. See details here: Reuters.
The Haitian Reconstruction Fund
At the International Donors Conference, the Haitian Government reveled an Action Plan for the country. The fund is a means to finance the Rebuilding Plan of the Haitian government after the January 12 Earthquake. According to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, "This plan represents a renewed commitment by the Haitian Government to define needs and priorities, to step up accountability and transparency, and to improve delivery of services." The Fund will enable all partners, including bilateral donors, the Inter-American Development Bank and the United Nations to work in a coordinated, transparent and efficient manner taking into account the Government's priorities.
The Fund is in part based on Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) of Haiti in January that was carried out by a joint team of national and international experts, who were actively assisted by representatives of NGOs and the Haitian civil society The Haitian Reconstruction Fund is focused on macro-economic projections between now and 2015.
The Fund is chaired by the Government of Haiti and is governed through a Steering Committee that also includes contributors to the Fund (countries and institutions, including Brazil) and partner entities such as the Inter- American Development Bank, the United Nations and the World Bank. The World Bank serves as the fiscal agent for the Trust Fund, transferring funds for the implementation of programs by a broad range of actors on the ground (such as government ministries, NGOs, the private sector, and UN agencies) at the request of the Fund's Steering Committee.
The Action Plan for National Recovery and Development includes actions which are defined in time, over an eighteen month timescale. It is based on four major areas of work which should enable the practical rebuilding of Haiti. The sectoral actions and initiatives are brought together according to the themes of regional, economic, social and institutional reconstruction. The fund will help Haiti achieve some of it specific action plans for each field are organised in the following way:
- Territorial rebuilding: Reconstruction of the devastated zones and urban renovation, the road network, regional development hubs and urban renovation, preparation for the hurricaneseason and regional planning and local development.
- Economic rebuilding: Relaunch of national production, restoration of economic and financial circuits, access to electricity.
- Social rebuilding: Health, food safety, nutrition, water, sanitation, highly labour-intensive activities.
- Institutional rebuilding: Democratic institutions, restart of public administration, justice and security. See More details here
HAITI RECONSTRUCTION: Accessing Opportunities in the Medium to Long-TermPosted on May 11, 2010 | No Comments
by Atim Annette Oton
On a sunny slightly chilly day in Brooklyn, at Borough Hall, the New York U.S. Export Assistance Center, in partnership with the Brooklyn International Trade Development Center, hosted a seminar for companies interested in learning about accessing the medium to long-term reconstruction opportunities in Haiti. The seminar gave attendees:
- An understanding of Haiti's on-the-ground realities from a business perspective;
- Insights into the process for bidding on procurement opportunities with the U.S. government and international development banks
- Information on investment financing and political risk insurance;
- Resources for infrastructure-related feasibility studies and technical assistance
- Important contacts for accessing future opportunities; and
- Real world experiences of companies who currently do business in Haiti.
The eye-opener and key to this seminar was the Procurement processes and bidding on contracts with not only the U.S. government, but most importantly, the multilateral organizations – U.N., Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank. These three organizations hold the key to accessing work in Haiti that most small businesses – architects, in particular are not leveraging.
So, if you are interested in work in Haiti, you must register with the UN, Inter-American Development Bank and World Bank
- UN: http://www.ungm.org - the UN Global Markplace website.
- IADB – http://www.iadb.org
- World Bank - http://www.worldbank.org
Additionally, it is vital for businesses to read the Action Plan put together from the International Donors' Conference Towards a New Future for Haiti. The Plan can be downloaded here. This plan states the vision:
" The Haitian Head of State defined the country's long-term vision for development in the following terms:We will rebuild Haiti by turning the disaster on 12 January 2010 into an opportunity to make it an emerging country by 2030.This restructuring will be marked by:
A fair, just, united and friendly society living in harmony with its environment and culture; a modern society characterised by the rule of law, freedom of association and expression and land management.
A society with a modern, diversified, strong, dynamic, competitive, open and inclusive economy based on the land.
A society in which people's basic needs are met quantitatively and qualitatively.
A knowledge-based society with universal access to basic education, mastery of qualifications based on a relevant professional training system, and the capacity for scientific and technical innovation fed by a modern and efficient university system, in order to create the new type of citizen the country needs for reconstruction.
All of this, under the supervision of a responsible, unitary state guaranteeing the implementation of laws and the interests of the people with a strong commitment to de-concentration and decentralization."
The key to the reconstruction plan are the 3 stages vital to the process:
- The emergency period, which must be used to improve accommodation for the homeless; to return pupils to school and students to university and vocational training centres; to prepare for the next hurricane season in the summer; to pursue efforts to restore a sense of normality to economic life, especially by creating large numbers of jobs through high-intensity work, by guaranteeing stability in the financial sector and access to credit for SMEs; and to continue to reorganise state structures. During this period, it will be necessary to work on development strategies and plans for selected new economic centres; to pursue action in favour of equipping reception zones for those who have been displaced by the earthquake; and to set up an electoral process to avoid constitutional gaps.
- The implementation period (18 months), for projects to kick-start the future of Haiti and establish a framework of incentives and supervision for private investment on which Haiti's economic growth will be founded. As foreseen by various analyses and assessments, private investment in the economy as well as in the social sector will form the backbone of the country's reconstruction. Among the commitments of donors, support will be given to the private sector to provide it with the capacity required to fulfil this role.
- The period (10 years) during which the reconstruction and recovery of Haiti will become a reality, in order to put the country back on the road to development, followed by another ten years to make it a real emerging country.
The plan also details what the role of the Haitian Reconstruction Fund and indicates ways to find resources for projects in Haiti.
Atim Annette Oton , co-Founder of BDNN will continue to work on reports on Haiti.

To become a moderator, you must either buy Bungie and tell them to make you one, or spend years posting usefull stuff and generally helping, play most of their games, be a god person, make god posts, don't trash the noobs, be respectful, etc... And even then, there are still a bunch of other factors that they consider, like do they like you and stuff. Basically, Bungie chooses their mods based solely upon their own prerogative.

Canada: Quebec separatists' victory overshadowed by shooting
Separatists seize power in Quebec, but victory soon turns to chaos following a fatal shooting. Next, to win the Latino vote, US Democrats give the floor to leading Hispanic politicians at their convention in North Carolina. Finally, authorities urge visitors to Yosemite National park in the US to seek medical attention following an outbreak of a deadly lung disease.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – One of the first exhibits visitors see at the newly renovated National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis displays statues of shackled and branded black men, sitting in a line with knees near their chins, on the deck of a creaking slave ship headed across an ocean.
The powerful, visceral exhibit sets the tone for an evocative, newly immersive museum experience that chronicles the history of the civil rights struggle in America.
The main section of the museum is set to reopen Saturday, the day after the 46th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in Memphis. King was killed on April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of the old Lorraine Motel, which was later converted into the museum in downtown Memphis.
The museum, which first opened in 1991, is now ready to show off new, emotionally hard-hitting exhibits and flashy, informative interactive displays.
The museum will be transformed into an even more compelling presentation of the iconic exhibits, oral histories of lesser-known civil rights foot soldiers and visceral, in-the-moment experiences, said Beverly Robertson, the museum's president.
The improvements cost about $27.5 million, with the money raised through a fundraising campaign. The museum assembled a group of scholars who not only made sure the information is historically accurate but also ensured that the most telling details of the civil rights movement were included.
Officials say the upgrade gives the museum a gleaming, more spacious lobby and exhibits that require much less standing around and reading. Changes include a new educational center and refurbished gift shop.
The museum retained its most popular exhibits, such as a replica of the bus in Montgomery, Ala., that Rosa Parks rode, complete with a statue of her and the bus driver. But the bus exhibit has been upgraded to add strikingly detailed statues of three women walking next to the bus.
Another mainstay is a replica of a sanitation truck in an exhibit about the 1968 sanitation workers' strike that brought King to Memphis.
New exhibits include a replica of the U.S. courtroom where the U.S. Supreme Court heard the Brown v. Board of Education case in 1954. That ruling made separate-but-equal schools for blacks and whites unconstitutional.
A large March on Washington exhibit shows statues of marchers holding protest signs with the audio of King's seminal I Have a Dream Speech piped in.
There's even a red phone on which visitors can hear a recording of a conversation between King and then-President Lyndon Johnson.
New interactive displays offer large touch screens that give visitors state-by-state photos, video, text and audio about important protests and key themes of the civil rights movement. There are more than 40 new films and various listening posts, including one where visitors can see and hear Malcolm X during a debate.
You're listening to the actual people speak, tour guide Ziara Smith said. You're hearing about the movement in their words.
One display not changed was Room 306, where King stayed in his final days. Replicas of the room service cart and an ashtray filled with cigarette butts provide a sense of authenticity to the solemn memorial.
According to King scholar Clayborne Carson of Stanford University, the museum's renovations present the best and most recent scholarship on civil rights available today.

Golf carts considered by aldermen
July 5's Board of Aldermen meeting carted in discussion on street legal vehicles inside the town limits.
Mayor Chuck Cariker said he had spoken to leaders of other communities during the Mississippi Municipal League's conference at the end of June. How to handle golf carts on streets was a popular topic among many.
Cariker said he would like to propose an ordinance asking citizens with golf carts to pay a $25 registration fee with the police department. They would be required to have liability insurance and would only be allowed west of Highway 61. Drivers could cross River Road and Magnolia Street but would be encouraged not to drive up and down them. Cart owners would also be asked to sign a waiver releasing the town of any liability.

Should you be charged extra if....[moved from Boston board]
- s
- Swankalicious Sep 30, 2012 06:18 PM
...Tonight Mr. Swank and I ordered takeout Chinese from a local spot that shall go nameless, because we like them. Mr. Swank asked for house lo-mein and was told that their lo-mein noodles were gone, but he could order udon noodles with his lo-mein for $2 extra. It does seem petty ($2!), but we disputed it on principle and said that we should pay the original price, since they were out of the advertised dish. Agree/disagree?
Great question.
I disagree with you. A restaurant has no obligation whatsoever to guarantee that all of their dishes are available as advertised at all times. Sometimes the food runs out. You can't always just conjure up the ingredients fairy. We must not forget this.
Furthermore, such substitutions are suggestions, and they should be left entirely to the discretion of the restaurant. If a restaurant is out of a cheap ingredient, should they be under some kind of unspoken obligation to allow for a more expensive replacement at no extra charge to the consumer? Or if they're out of a dish in general, should they allow for a same-price substitution of a more expensive dish entirely? No way.
I agree that it's not unheard of -- maybe even not unusual -- for restaurants to do this, and it may actually make financial sense for them if the other option is you just taking your business elsewhere, but if it's the principle we're discussing, I'm firmly on the "no obligation" side.
I disagree also. It's not like restaurants offer an in-stock (or kitchen) guarantee where if they run out they upgrade you to the next best thing at no additional cost.
Provided that they told you about the $2 extra in advance, I feel that it is appropriate, as you have the opportunity to change your order if you wish. However, if they prepared your order and then told you about the $2 extra fee, that would be unacceptable to me. Maybe the udon is more expensive for them to purchase and they need to pass the cost on to the customer.
Yeah I will have to disagree as well. They could have just said they were sold out and not offered it to you at all. I went to a restaurant last night and wanted a particular dish but they had run out of the specific mushroom so would not make it for me. Would have much rather them offer it with a different mushroom so I could still have had it, even if it cost a bit more. Different ingredients cost different amounts of money. They told you in advance, so I'd certainly not have had a problem with it at all.
I disagree, They were out of an ingredient, so the dish was not available that day. No one forced you to buy that entree in a modified/customized version. Most restaurants will charge for a substitution, hope you enjoyed the dish.
I agree with the others. You could have just ordered a different dish if you didn't want to pay extra for the noodle substitution. They were up front about it, so you had the choice there.
Someone needs to play devil's advocate here so I'll say for the $2, which at most equals 50 cents worth of product for the restaurant, why not do the upgrade for free especially for a customer who appears to be a regular. Restaurants regularly comp food or drink at the slightest hint of a less than happy customer (although not so much Chinese restaurants).
If you're out of something, the custom in the business world is to replace it with something of equal or greater value at no extra cost - within reason of course. My reserved compact car is not there? They upgrade me to a midsize. They rented out my standard hotel room? "We can give you a suite at no extra charge." I have had restaurants on more than one occasion discover that they had run out of the wine I ordered only to offer a more expensive bottle at the same price.
I know. I know. Those things happened after I had made a reservation or already ordered so it may not be totally apples to apples. Just trying to say that, although I do not believe the restaurant did anything wrong and I would not have blinked an eye myself at the upcharge, I also would not have been surprised if they "took care of" their customer in this instant.
re: bobbert
This is not a sitdown restaurant with white table cloths. They are ordering takeout. They were given an alternative at a different price. If the alternative been less expensive, would they have paid the extra?
re: INDIANRIVERFL
If the alternative had been cheaper, do you really think the restaurant would have said so? Say udon noodles were cheaper than lo mein noodles - would the restaurant have said "sorry, we're out of lo mein, but we can make it for you with udon noodles - it will cost $1 less." NO WAY.
re: bobbert
there is a very marked difference between a reserved rental car and a dish at a restaurant. namely, the car was supposed to be reserved for you, and the dish was not.
with that said, if it were my restaurant, i would have given it to you sans additional charge. but i dont think its a big deal really.
Disagree. Perhaps the udon noodles cost more than the regular lo-mein noodles, and they need to pass along the cost to the customers. Restaurants aren't required to keep every menu item available. So they ran out. :::shrug::: It happens. *AND* they gave you the price differential up front, giving you the chance to refuse to pay the additional cost for the substitution.
I too shall play devil's advocate and agree. Lo mein is neither an exotic menu item nor would it be on special the way restaurants run specials on certain seafood or fiddleheads for a finite amount of time.
Their poor planning should not a price uptake make. It's penny wise and pound foolish on the owner's part.
re: escondido123
I feel this way exactly. Seems like the order taker was simply trying to be helpful, while being bound by the menu prices. If they had simply said, we're out of lo mein it would be a non-issue.
I don't think that the restaurant was wrong in this case - places run out of things, it happens.
On the other hand, for a simple substitution like that, while I would not expect a no-charge substitution, I do think that a good number of restaurants would make the sub with no extra charge.
re: jw615
"On the other hand, for a simple substitution like that, while I would not expect a no-charge substitution, I do think that a good number of restaurants would make the sub with no extra charge."
I agree. But on the other hand, I am a Asian food snob and I would prefer not to have the lo mein without the normal noodles than have it with Udon. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with Udon noodles, it's just that IMHO they don't belong in Lo Mein.
re: jw615
Exactly that^^^^^ (what jw615 wrote)
Had they been out of chicken and could offer only shrimp or lobster meat, sure, understandable. But noodles? Reminds me of when I went to my local sub/pizza place for a small tuna sub a couple months ago; they were out of sub rolls (!?!?!) and wanted me to pay a dollar extra for a pita. I went to their competitor across the street and got exactly what I wanted for no extra charge. But, to each his own.
Disagree. Restaurants are not utilities.
Udon noodles are more expensive, at least in my experience. So I see absolutely nothing wrong with what the restaurant did here.
Will play devil's advocate... Not on the basis of what is "ethical" or "right" but on what is the smart business decision. Does the owner / order taker know you? It sounds like you go on a regular basis? If I'm the owner, I would have said, it would cost you $2, but for this time, it's free. I disagree with your arguing on principle, but if I were the owner, I would have made it seem like I'm doing you a favor to get your business in the future.
re: FattyDumplin
I find that Asian food places generally operate on valuing cash now over goodwill later. I don't think it's unfair or bad, it's just a different mindset, because of the cash-intensive-low-debt approach to running such businesses. It used to be more common here before easy credit made a long-term approach viable for the past few decades until recently, btw.
re: Karl S
Totally agree. It's the same reason why many Chinese restaurants start out so well, build up a strong customer base and then start cutting corners to shave margin. It works for a little bit, but eventually, people catch on. When I look at the ones who've had staying power, it's the ones who haven't taken that short-term approach
re: Karl S
As the owner of an Asian restaurant I'll address this as best I can.
There is a general perception amongst Americans that certain "ethnic foods" should be served in large quantities for very cheap. Again- I admit this is a generalization but it is a pretty fair one, putting aside some notable exceptions.
That Americans expect Chinese food to come in huge portions for a very cheap price means that the margins tend to be a bit tighter than cuisines where this expectation is not present. Now- the first thing many people do when I say this is exclaim about how cheap rice is. But even rice in bulk has tripled in price over the past few years- the price on wholesale going up faster than retail even.
So with much smaller margins there is less room for "freebies" which giving you a significantly costlier product for the price of the cheaper one would be, in essence.
The OP wanted lo mein. They were out of those noodles.
They could have just told the OP "no lo mein".
Would they really have really been happier then?
And I really agree with TeRReT's statement here:
"While I understand this sentiment, there is nothing worse then doing a one time nice favour and subbing a more expensive ingredient for free and from then on the customer finding they prefer said ingredient and in the future request the substitution and expect it free everytime."
I have run into this at my restaurant. It is a lose-lose situation for the business owner when a guest sets out to feel abused.
re: RichardBreadcrumb
Very well stated.
re: RichardBreadcrumb
Great post!
re: FattyDumplin
While I understand this sentiment, there is nothing worse then doing a one time nice favour and subbing a more expensive ingredient for free and from then on the customer finding they prefer said ingredient and in the future request the substitution and expect it free everytime.
re: TeRReT
Agreed. Or if they mention to their friends/co-workers etc that the great Chinese restaurant on the corner upgraded them to udon for free, others may expect similar treatment. When that treatment isn't received up goes a nasty online review about how they don't have a consistent pricing policy.
re: pollymerase
yeah, fair point... that's why i was saying i'd make it clear that normally that substitution would be $x, but since i didn't have the normal noodles, i'd do it gratis this time. that being said, such subtlety is only heard when desired and could easily be missed and then result in the offense you describe above.
re: TeRReT
Perfectly said!
Did you end up ordering the dish with udon?
My take is the udon lo mein ends up being a different dish and the owner can charge what they want.
However, a good owner would recognize regulars and not charge up. Also, you could have talked up the original dish and not sure if the udon is good to see if the owner would give you a break.
If i really feel like the owner was being very petty, I would would have canceled the order and left.
<since they were out of the advertised dish>
I find this interesting ~. Advertised how? At a lower price point??? .Will you elaborate?
The Chinese places I've been, if they're out of something, that's all they tell you. They don't suggest a replacement or substitution. It's up to you to find something else from the menu on your own (and pay the stated price on that other item). That may be their way of avoiding situations like yours.
re: ipsedixit
And the odds of McD's being out of hamburgers is much less likely than them being out of FoF.
re: escondido123
I know. But we're playing the advocate of the Devil here ...
re: ipsedixit
I believe you are ALSO an advocate of the Filet of Fish...
re: ipsedixit
For some reason I ended up at KFC twice within a couple of months in the early 90s. Both times they were out of chicken. They didn't offer a substitution :-)
Disagree. They told you about the $2 fee in advance. It was your choice to order it or not. They were in no way obligated to price match for different dish.
I do think it's up to the restaurant's discretion.
However, I also think the experience would leave a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended). If they said "We're out of lo-mein, but we can substitute udon at no extra charge" I wouldn't get the dish I had planned to order, but I'd still feel like I had been treated with consideration, and I'd leave with a good impression of the service.
But with what happened here, you feeling kind of annoyed at the restaurant. I'd probably feel less annoyed if they simply told me they were out of something, or offered to substitute something of the same price.
So, up to the restaurant's discretion, but not a particularly good PR move.
It would also matter to me how often this occurred. If it is a local spot you frequent and have never had this happen before, I'd write it off.
But if I got the "out of lo mein, you're welcome to fork over $2 for another noodle dish" too often, I'd start to suspect deceptive practices.

"One thousand little worlds die one thousand little deaths as you brush past the veil of your eyelids."So, the whole episode's been All Just a Dream. The Big Bad's subjugation of Canada never happened, the Will They or Won't They? couple didn't really get together and, unfortunately, The Scrappy didn't actually die. So, it's all back to the status quo, right? But wait... what about that Ragtag Bunch of Misfits who helped the fight? The Girl of the Week who fell for the protagonist? That cute ferret-mouse-dog... thing? What'll happen to them when the hero wakes up? More importantly, what if they realize what will happen if he wakes up? This, my friends, is a Dream Apocalypse. Any one of a number of things can now occur: perhaps the characters of the dream conspire to keep the hero asleep forever. Perhaps the hero himself tries to force himself never to wake-up. Or, if the writers don't feel like writing a Downer Ending, there'll be a hint that it wasn't just a dream after all. Most examples of this trope ignore the fact that lucid dreamers often meet special characters on purpose multiple times, and that said characters appear to have "gone asleep" while you were awake. But a writer going for the least traumatic ending can take advantage of this, so once the dreamer goes to sleep again tomorrow night the characters all "wake up". Often appears as the conclusion to a Lotus-Eater Machine, Cuckoo Nest or Ontological Mystery plot, and is a sure-fire sign of a bona-fide Mind Screw. Warning for spoilers, as this is often tied into All Just a Dream endings.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that the hair on one side of my 5 year old daughter's head was really short and spiky in places. I asked if she'd been cutting her own hair, because she'd just had a friend over and you know 5 year olds. She denied it, and after looking more closely, I could tell that the hairs were pretty evenly spaced throughout her regular-length hairs, and I don't think it looks cut (or pulled).
Today I was fixing her hair and noticed her short hairs are all over the top of her hair. The hairs are half to 1.5 inches long, all more or less the same length (within 1/2 an inch either direction of 1" long), and it's probably fully 1/4 of the hair on her head. She looks like a freaking porcupine. She was pretty embarrassed about it and wouldn't take her hood off after I asked if she was pulling her hair out (I told her it was ok if she was, and we'd help her figure it out, but that it'd be good if she could just tell us if she is, and she said she's not).
I'm trying to figure out if it's breaking off (I am leaning towards yes) or if she pulled a bunch of hair a few months ago and it's growing back. She regularly gets big chunks of hair out in the comb, but her hair is fine and she tends to be a vigorous brusher, so I didn't worry before. We went gluten-free in May of this year but we have worked really hard to make sure the kids have a good diet. She is a good eater and I actually didn't have any concerns about her diet until I noticed this. We also moved over the summer, and she spent 6 (non-consecutive) weeks away from me and her dad with extended family (2 weeks with each set of grandparents, 3 sets), so there was stress too.
So, diet? Stress? Vitamin deficiency? What can cause hair to break off like that, and should I be rushing her to her doctor, or just ask next time we go (April)?

But if You're Heath Ledger's Dad, and HE'S Heath Ledger's Dad, Then...Oh Boy.
It's heartening to know that unless my plan for a sitcom about Jerry Falwell and a large gay man living together in a New York City apartment (working title is Bear With Me) takes off, I'll never be famous enough for someone to pose as my grieving father when I die.
Sadly, Heath Ledger cannot say the same. Both because he's ceased that particular oral function, and because some douche posed as his grieving father.
The worst part is, given all of the doors opened to the grieving father of a dead celebrity, what does this fucker do?
Its surprising that no one questioned his identity sooner, until you realize that, Like Ledgers father, the con man had a British accent, which Americans find irresistible.
But considering the vital piece of information that Ledgers real father was a racecar driver, I find this con mans actions decidedly boring. If youre going to plumb the depths of indecency, at least be ridiculous about it. Imagine how much more he could have asked for, given the same schedule of phone calls:
But sadly, those ships have sailed, and taken their vivisected ponies with them. Take note, con men and anyone with a desire to feed off the misfortune of others: make it more entertaining, and maybe the general public wont find you so repugnant. Im not promising anything though.

text: As residents of Colorado's Front Range, we have encountered our fair share of deer, prairie dogs, eagles, and a host of other charismatic creatures, but there is more to local biodiversity than meets the eye. In this presentation, we will explore some of the smaller players in these natural systems, focusing on the world of caterpillars. Why do caterpillars eat some plants and not others? How do they defend themselves against their enemies? How is it that a caterpillar can develop into a wasp, rather than a moth or a butterfly? Join us in investigating the wealth of survival strategies used by our local caterpillars, and the evolutionary forces that make them tick.

Through some quirk of magic a submarine has ended up floating above the surface of the ocean, the line above being their response to taking a measure of their current depth. Quite how they managed to produce such a result is another question... <Alternatively> Once again the speakers are in a submarine, but this time they are taking depth measurements based on external water pressure, and have just hit a rather odd patch of extremely low pressure (less than atmospheric) that is being held under the water by an unknown force. (Naturally the submarine falls immediately to the bottom of region, which happens to be the ocean floor.) "Sire, the peasants need a bath."

_____ ∆ _____ ∆∆His majesty arises from his regal slumber hearing a horn in the background as the gates to his kingdom are opened. Rushing into the room comes a messenger. He hadn't seen any discomfort from the seemingly happy residents of the land but he had heard a single message. "'S.O.S. The peasants are revolting." The king was taken aback. He treated them so well but he knew something would happen when he cut off their water. He just didn't know a revolution was in his midst. Regrettingly the king picked up his sword and walked outside into the square to face the unhappy masses but as soon as the door was opened a green vapor filled up the room. As was explained "Sire, the peasants need a bath." And in the end, the treasure was inside me this whole time. I better get to work.

Alas, the attempt is doomed, because the antagonist, who is attempting the same feat, has just visited the rubbish tip and has returned with some...

Our heroes are on a quest to prevent the rise to power of a sorcerer of great potency and ruthless heart. Amongst their number the heroes include their leader, a man who is determined to solve the problems with words first and violence only as a last resort, and a Blood Knight warrior; the former frequently restrains the latter's killing urges, much to the latter's frustration. They reach the sorcerer's lair and infiltrate it. To their horror they find that he has been summoning creature after creature, myriad terrible and evil things, held from slaughter of all around them only by the sorcerer's magic. They manage to reach the sorcerer himself, try to talk him down, but he only smirks at their arguments and pleas. With a wave of his hand he opens a door, admitting several of the creatures to stall the heroes while he escapes to another part of his lair to continue his summonings, and make preparation to unleash them upon the world. The leader finally admits it: the sorcerer will not be reasoned with, and the creatures know nothing but violence and evil. The only solution that seems available to them is to kill every one of the summoned creatures, and then the sorcerer himself. He admits this, and our Blood Knight gives a satisfied smile, at last released from the restrictions that had chafed for so long. He looks around the group, readying his weapon as he speaks: "So... killing spree?" ... Aren't homunculi sexless...?

Great performances! Very enjoyable experience. The cast was superb. Highly recommend this. The only problem was the voucher exchange took a very long time as they only had two people working a very very long line. This caused the performance to start 30 minutes late. Also had front row balcony seats. Could only see entire stage by leaning way forward. The seats need to be raised. After we moved up higher into vacant seats we enjoyed the show tremendously. The acoustics in the theater are amazing.

The production was spectacular. Front row balcony was not. Couldn't see the stage very well. Relocated ourselves for a better view. Will know for next time.

One of the better Les Miz I have seen. Great production and the voices were uniformly excellent.
