One Last reservation needed...Mexican
We have completed our reservations and here is the plan: Thurs night--Uchi, Sat lunch Salt Lick Driftwood and surroounding vineyards, and Saturday night--Lambert's. Sun brunch: Maria's Taco Xpress. Sunday is superbowl and we are staying at The Driskill, so unsure about sunday night. What are your thoughts?
But, looking for a Friday night reservation for a fun group of 30 somethings from out of town.I really want Mexican, but am having a hard time finding a place that has great food (can be either interior or Tex Mex), fun or unique ambience, with great drinks. Any thoughts?
Also will have to go for Migas fri am...
Thank you!
If you mean 30-something in age, not group size, then I'd definitely skip Matt's. Azul Tequila isn't fancy, but it's reasonably priced and the food (interior Mex, mostly) is great. Curra's is another option. Try the avocado margarita! Here's a good thread about interior Mex in Austin:
re: NirvRush
The mariachis can be a bit loud though. I second the great food if you stay on the left (interior) side of the menu.
If you're looking for a place to watch the Super Bowl within walking distance, I'd recommend Daddy's Bar & Grill. It's about a block down 6th street. Tons of awesome HDTV's, lots of space, and pretty good burgers and wings.
Saturday night you need to have the amazing Aramark nachos at the Palmer Events Center during Carnaval....amazing eats! then the carnitas french fries on sunday at lunch at Fuegos!
sorry, i misread that. I only suggested matt's for 30 people. azul, curra's, sazon, fonda all good choices.
A couple of thoughts...
You will love Uchi
If you are driving out of town for BBQ I recommend going to Lockhart before heading to Salt Lick. If you have your heart set on Salt Lick, remember you are going for the atmosphere and not the food. The food has been extremely greasy the last couple of times I ate there and I have decided that I will not be back. Also, remember it is BYOB.
BBQ for lunch on Saturday and Lambert's for dinner is whole lot of BBQ in one day. I would not do those two estbalishments for consecutive meals, but if you do then remember to pace yourself. I was not impressed by Lambert's entrees, but did really love their seasonal fried pie.
For Mexican, I also like Azul Tequila although the atmosphere is nothing great...it is in a stip center. However, their conchinita pibil is quite good. I also like Habenero Cafe on Oltorf and Angie's on east 7th (especially for their carnitas tacos). Both of these places focus on the lunch crowd and close at 9 pm on Friday nights.
Enjoy your trip.
re: Honey Bee
Thanks, everyone for the recs. I meant to say that we are doing Salt L ick Friday for lunch. It is more for the experience, i.e. the drive, the nearby wineries. I concur that Smitty's and others FAR EXCEED SL, but not as much fun for a group.
There is a group of 6 people Friday night. Azul sounds great, but really want to take all of these NY/LA folk to a place that has some atmosphere in a cool area..not a strip mall (althoguht I agree that some of thebest food can be found there). Went to angie's last time and did not have a good expereince. Moreover, no ambience for a group on a Friday night. Also went to Curra's and felt the same about that. do all of the kitshy places have horrible food? Can;t we have it all?! :) also hit Geurro's last time--awful, but margs were pretty good. Hit El Chile and liked the food, but kind of quiet...
Wish we wanted Italian in Austin and would do the wine room at Vespaio, but, alas, we really want a fun place for margs and Mex. Any other thoughts? How is the ambience at Polvo's?
I am skipping Maria's sun, as I have seen some bad write ups on it..where else good for low-key (no buffet) hangover brunch?
Friday should we do Backstage? what's the amebience like there? Was worried we were getting too meat heavy and cannot go to Austin with Mex!
any help is greatly appreciated!
re: ljero
For your Sunday breakfast, I strongly recommend Borrego de Oro. http://www.yelp.com/biz/borrego-de-or... I take my breakfasts very seriously and Borrego is easily one of the most underrated Tex-Mex restaurants in the city. A good sign: real life Mexican-Americans eat there. They by far have the best migas in town, and anyone who tells you Las Manitas is better is so wound up in nostalgia they have no idea what they're talking about.
re: 24hourbreakfast
There are plenty of reviews of Borrego de Oro right here on chowhound, with fairly continuous coverage since at least 2004. (That was my search parameter). Here's one recent thread exclusively on the subject:
24hourbreakfast, I wonder if you can expand upon your recommendation of the migas at El Borrego de Oro as "the best" in town. After all, "real life" Mexican-Americans, like non-Mexican-Americans, eat at all sorts of restaurants—from Taco Bell to Chez Panisse. That doesn't automatically confer deliciousness on the chow at every one of these places (or even just on the "Mexican" ones). How are the migas at Borrego de Oro prepared? What are they served with? What are you looking for in your ideal version of migas? Where else have you tried and liked migas in town; or, what are your points of comparison? This information would be much appreciated.
For the OP [original poster]: I recommend that you do hit Backstage Steakhouse, even if you have to brace yourself to do without the "loud" or "fun" ambience that you're seeking out. If your friends are chowhounds, they'll appreciate their truly good cooking. Your suspicions are correct: The kitschy places in town generally don't serve delicious food. That's why they rely on kitsch (and advertising). I'd definitely skip Polvo's for your breakfast option; moreover, I personally think there's better dinner chow in town. However, you can find more opinions on their food by doing a search. There are also some good ideas for visitors in these threads:
re: MPH
Of course, the notion that somehow a place that has "real life Mexican-Americans" is magically made delicious is fairly absurd.
El Meson is mostly gringo customers these days, but they still manage to produce great food. Taqueria Arandinas on William Cannon has an almost exclusively Hispanic clientele, and the food is pretty bad. We could spend all day providing examples and counterexamples of our points along those lines.
The simple fact is the best indicator that a place has good food is that the place has good food. If you get caught up in the atmosphere -- be it a fancy, contemporary feel or the patrons vaguely matching the chow's ethnic origin -- you're distracting yourself from the main point: is the food any good? This sort of race-baiting is common amongst weaker food critics -- see the Fearless Critic guide for numerous examples. Discussions on those lines can be found here:
On that note, and of course exclusively in my opinion: Borrego is mediocre. Better than Polvo's. Worse than El Meson, Rosita's Al Pastor, the much-maligned Curra's, Fonda San Miguel, Habanero Cafe, Angie's, the Riverside location of El Regio, and a number of other places.
I work near Borrego and I'm lazy but like lunchtime variety so I've been several times, both dining in and picking up to go. If they have anything really good there, I haven't had it. Multiple attempts at the birria haven't sold me. I enjoyed a horchata while I waited for my takeout once, but it wasn't anything special. In retrospect, that tall styrofoam cup of horchata is probably the best thing I've ever had there.
(I agree with 24hourbreakfast that Las Manitas is overrated, though.)
re: MPH
Thanks for the thread regarding Borrego. I will take a look at it.
I haven't had migas at every possible restaurant in town, so I suppose I can't say with Absolute Authority that Borrego's are objectively the best. Also, I have not visited the kitchen while they prepare migas, so I can't explain in detail their procedure. But I can tell you why I like them better than any other I've had. And you can feel free to agree or disagree or even add to the conversation without demanding a complete and comprehensively researched dissertation.
#1: Crunch. The preparation of migas, in my view, is a careful balancing act that requires careful attention the texture of the corn chip. Borrego makes their own corn chips (as do many other restaurants), but here, the corn chips retain their own texture instead of sopping up enough moisture as to lose that vital crunch.
#2: Egg "doneness": At all too many Mex restaurants, the eggs are left on the griddle and overcook, imparting a certain flavor to the egg. I understand how this happens. They have a million other things to do in the kitchen and the egg is left on the griddle to cook instead of being constantly tended. The flavor of overcooked egg is difficult for me to describe, but I could say it has a more sulfurous tone with overnotes of old rag. At Borrego, at least in my experience, the egg has been consistently well prepared. Which leads me to my third trait.
#3 Consistency. I have had many breakfasts here and almost everytime, at least one person with whom I'm dining has ordered the migas. In some instances they are "real life" Mexican-Americans themselves who grew up eating Tex-Mex and Interior-Mex and, one would hope, would have some idea of why they prefer the flavor of one preparation over another.
That brings up the issue of "real life" Mexican-Americans. While of course in a multicultural society, people of different cultures eat foods from other cultures. Food is often the first point of cross-cultural contact in any society. However, I think to ignore that any authenticity can be bestowed upon a particular establishment by the fact that people from the same culture dine there frequently is to be blinded by a fear of being culturally insensitive (i.e. making stereotypes and prejudice.). It is not to say that a Lebanese restaurant populated solely by whites of European heritage is necessarily bad, nor that a kosher bakery filled with Hasidic Jews is necessarily good. I am simply stating that the fact that working class Spanish speaking Mexican dudes in big pickup trucks fill Borrego every weekend morning may lend a certain credibility to the "authenticity" of the food. After all, these are people of the same culture who presumably grew up consuming Mexican food. Might they not have some idea of what they like? As a food fan, I'm surprised you wouldn't "know what I mean" and take the comment at face value rather than dissect its subtle implications.
re: 24hourbreakfast
I'm afraid that I still have to disagree about what the clientele of an "ethnic" restaurant implies about its food quality. If you search the board, you'll see that I eat often—sometimes almost exclusively—at places frequented by "working class Spanish speaking Mexican dudes." (You can do a search for MPH and "east side" to pull up some of the reports in my series.) Some of these restaurants are very, very good; some are aggressively mediocre; and some of these "authentic" places are downright bad. Thus, the clientele of a restaurant is not correlative with deliciousness. I'll agree that "these are people" who "know what they like," but I'm sure that chowhounds don't have to be reminded that many, if not most, people like food that is not transcendently delicious. Thus, why should it be surprising that people from diverse cultural backgrounds might also settle for what's easy, or prefer to frequent places where they feel comfortable (like chains)? Most people just eat to live. Only a small segment of any population lives to eat.
I personally have no problem with discussing the clientele of a restaurant in the context of a chow report, though you'll see that some local 'hounds do. All I can tell you is that when you're discussing what should count as "the best" food with a group of highly opinionated chowhounds, you might want to bring more to the table than assertions that "real life Mexican-Americans eat there."
You've done that now. Thanks for the details on why you like the migas at Borrego. That will help visitors and fellow chowhounds decide if they share your ideal of eggy goodness.
re: Honey Bee
Salt Lick is also cash only, but sounds like a super place for your party group, especially since it is BYOB!
re: amykragan
I'd agree with Amy on Habanero and hangover Sunday. As a person that lives 10 minutes from that place and a frequent patron (looooove their fajitas), I can tell you that it's a great little spot. The scenery however isn't that great as there's ton of construction going on and it's smack dab by the heavily traveled Oltorf.
re: SpaceAgeNinjaCowboy
I feel like a broken record here as I have posted similar comments before...But I absolutely love Polvos. The mexican martinis are the best in austin! Have taken many people there who say they don't care for tequila but love the martinis. I think it will have the vibe you are looking for as well.
Hangover brunch, either Juan in a Millions or SoCo Cafe. Juan's tacos are awesome but I think SoCo has out of site migas!
re: chowinginaustin
do they have heaters outside? can we sit out if it is 65 day and 45 night temps or not? have been thinking about choosing polvos, thanks--what is ambience inside like and what are your other fave things there?
re: ljero
My BF went the a couple weeks ago and said they had closed in the patio but it was still a little chilly outside. The choriquezo is a must do!! Thick cheesy goodness with sautéed peppers onions, and chorizo. This and the Mexican martinis are always ordered straight away when we arrive. And I will be honest we usually only order a taco or two since between two people the choriquezo coupled with a few martinis is plenty. I have tried the shrimp fajitas which had almost an Asian flavor, very tasty. As far as the ambience, it is kind of eclectic, busy, and lively. Certainly the kind of place I would want to take out of towners for a taste of something Austin.
re: Alan Sudo
For Tex-Mex with energetic atmosphere I think Vivo is a good choice. I like the enchilada/puffy taco combo. The higher prices and lack of high chairs keeps out the people with kids so it is a good adult-oriented environment at dinner time. Order the Paula's margarita as opposed to the House, as the former is made with fresh lime and the latter is not. I think they have great salsa, even though their chips are the "grainy" kind that I don't like.
I think Maria's and Las Manitas are way overrated and I can't believe people put up such a fight to "save" them.
re: Alan Sudo
I agree, I think Vivo's is very good and certainly not a strip mall atmosphere.
Maria's is one of my most favorite places in town, you can't beat the south austin atmosphere, think funk trailer. Sunday's is Hippie Church with live music and dancing. Polvo's is another fave.
Z Tejas isn't really Mexican, they bill themselves as Southwestern (there is a lot of crossover on the menu), but a fun atmosphere, and better than average Margaritas. Plenty of info on this board if you search for them.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson: Daniel Hudson, Chris Owings, A.J. Pollock, Cody Ross may return soon
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said a trio of injured players -- pitcher Daniel Hudson, shortstop Chris Owings and outfielder A.J. Pollock -- will likely rejoin the team in a few days, and injured outfielder Cody Ross might not be far behind.
"All those three guys will be back, if not on (Sept. 1), shortly thereafter," Gibson said of Hudson, Owings and Pollock, adding that Hudson "will be coming back for sure."
Hudson hasn't played since early in the 2012 season, as he's undergone a pair of Tommy John surgeries to repair his elbow. The D-backs acquired Hudson from the Chicago White Sox in 2010, and the right-hander made a spectacular first impression, posting a 1.69 ERA in his first 11 starts with the team.
Hudson pitched a scoreless inning for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and is scheduled to pitch for Reno again Friday night.
Owings has been on the disabled list since June 29 with a shoulder injury. The 23-year-old is hitting .271 with six home runs, 21 RBI and seven stolen bases in 72 games this season.
Pollock, who hasn't played for the D-backs since May 31 due to a hand injury, is hitting .316 with six homers, 15 RBI and eight stolen bases in 52 appearances in 2014.
Gibson didn't offer a timetable for the return of Ross, who has been out with a calf injury since late July, but said the 33-year-old who had 22 home runs and 81 RBI for the Boston Red Sox in 2012 has shown progress in batting practice.
"Just watching him take BP the last couple times, I've seen that his bat is much quicker than it was all year," Gibson said of Ross, who also missed the final seven weeks of the 2013 season with a hip injury.
"I think that this next offseason, he's going to have more of a normal baseball offseason to prepare and work on certainly his hitting, swinging the bat, and his strength and conditioning in a different light."

main index
T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous is a 1998 3D IMAX Movie, directed by Brett Leonard. Like previous Leonard films (The Lawnmower Man, Virtuosity) it makes use of then-pioneering CGI effects. The film is mostly a documentary with a Framing Device, only 45 minutes in length. The main stars were Liz Stauber, Peter Horton, and Kari Coleman. It was the first starring film role for Stauber, who previously only had theatrical credits and a cameo in Can't Hardly Wait.The film begins with an unseen Narrator describing the badlands of Alberta, Canada and their importance to palaeontological research. The camera gives a spectacular overview of the plains of Western Canada, then moves to Red Deer River and the badlands themselves. More accurately, the Dinosaur Provincial Park, southeast of Calgary. Somehow the film fails to mention that. In any case, the camera zooms into palaeontologists on the field. Several methods of field work are briefly seen. The narrator introduces as to the head researcher: Dr. Donald Hayden (Horton), who happens to be a museum curator and the father of our Narrator. The camera reveals the identity of said narrator: Ally Hayden (Stauber), teenage daughter of the guy and currently a tour guide at the museum. This is her summer job.A brief scene establishes that Ally herself is a palaeontology enthusiast. Meanwhile, Donald and his assistant Elizabeth Sample (Coleman) are climbing down a mountain cliff. They want to examine the mountain surface for presence of further fossils. An accident almost costs Elizabeth her life, but helps both of them stumble onto some interesting fossils. Later, Donald announces his discoveries to Ally by phone. She pleads for a chance to join him on the field, even if only to keep notes and help categorize the findings. He dismisses her as not ready for field work yet. Ally makes clear that this isn't the first time her father lets her down.A few weeks later, Donald has returned to the museum. Ally is eager to see him and have him review her own science project. She has been working on a model for the egg laying, nest building, and parental behavior of the Tyrannosaurus rex. She bases her work on the behavioral study of modern birds and even has it illustrated. Donald barely glances at her work and then rejects it, feeling it is based too much on scientific theory and too little on "hard evidence".Not long after, Ally has a minor accident with a fossilized dinosaur egg and inhales dust from the Cretaceous period (145-65 million years ago) She starts wondering the museum and having realistic hallucinations of the exhibits coming to life. From her POV, Ally is shifting between visions of the museum with some unusual elements and an actual time-travel to different eras. (The film leaves unclear whether all she sees are illusions or whether travel occurs). She gets to witness life at the Cretaceous and see a real-life Tyrannosaurus its nest. Ally also has a chance to meet and have brief conversations with her idols: Charles Robert Knight (1874-1953) and Barnum Brown (1873-1963). The film explains that Knight was the artist responsible for highly influential paintings of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, while Barnum was one of the most famous fossil hunters of his era. With each having a chance to explain their methods and ways of looking at evidence.The film and its storyline stand as a fun way to present some scientific facts, theories and views on palaeontology. The CGI helped visualize the way actual dinosaurs would live and move. At the time of release, it was a modest box office hit. Its worldwide gross is estimated to 102,425,137 dollars, more than covering its budget. About 53 million of those dollars came from the United States market, where it was the 43rd most successful film of its year (likely aided by being shown in IMAX theatres at science centers and children's museums). The critics were mostly favorable to it, feeling it was fine as a children's movie, although there were also negative comparisons to Jurassic Park. It had a Spiritual Successor of sorts in the documentary series Walking with Dinosaurs (1999) which used similar CGI technology to depict living dinosaurs.
The film provides examples of:

You drink coffee, I drink tea
You all know I love coffee. What you don't know: I drink more tea than coffee. Especially the past 10 days as I have been sick and my body says big NO to coffee. What a timing Paper & Tea had when they asked me if I wanted to try their tea. I have been a long time admirer of their beautiful shops and graphic profile so of course I said yes! White tea is my favourite next to black tea and this one is delicious. Thank you for the gift, P&T!

The Village star John Simm has said that he is fed up with the attention he gets from Doctor Who fans.
The Life On Mars actor played the Master in five episodes of the BBC One sci-fi show.
He told the Radio Times: "I do get a lot of Doctor Who. I'll be so happy when that's gone from my life. They're lovely, I'm sure, but I won't miss it."
He added: "It's great to be into something, but for goodness' sake, really? I'm not the Master, I'm not that evil Time Lord who rules the galaxy, I'm just in Tesco with my kids. Leave me alone!"
The father-of-two said that he hated attending award ceremonies - and not because he may have been snubbed by judges.
He said: "I've always found that whole thing really weird. You're not that bothered about it, because acting's not a competition. It's all subjective."

The flight crew was conducting an international passenger flight under Title 14, CFR Part 121, when they smelled and saw smoke in the cockpit. The pilot declared an emergency, and diverted to the nearest airport, where the airplane landed without incident. According to the flight crew, just prior to the smell and smoke, there was a crew change that required the cockpit security door to be opened and closed. An examination of the security door by maintenance personnel and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge (IIC) revealed an excess length of wiring, which provides power to the electrically locking security door, was laying atop the door's metal-encased, unshielded, locking solenoid inside the doorframe. Several of the wires were encased in a plastic anti-chafe mesh. A portion of the mesh was melted, and had the smell of burnt plastic. During a discussion with the IIC, a mechanic said he had seen similar doors overheat when the door and frame were misaligned, prohibiting full extension of the locking bolt. The cockpit door was modified in accordance with Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01391LA, which meets the FAA's requirements for a reinforced cockpit door. The door uses a "demand access" electrically operated door latching solenoid. The door manufacturer issued an addendum to the airplane manufacturer's maintenance manual. The addendum includes removal, installation, and system tests of the striker/solenoid unit. The installation section does not specifically address the issue of securing excess wiring located above the striker/solenoid within the doorframe. The installation instructions do contain a "caution," referencing the need for the security bolt to engage fully. Failure of the bolt to fully engage will cause the solenoid to remain energized and overheat. Construction of the striker/solenoid assembly is such that the metal-encased electrical coil of the unshielded solenoid is the upper-most portion of the assembly within the doorframe. The installation includes a warning light that illuminates if the solenoid does not shut off. The crew did not report seeing the warning light in-flight, and the light and locking mechanism functioned properly during subsequent tests on the ground; it was not tested in-flight. The conversion of the door was completed on March 21, 2003. Prior to the incident, the new security door had been in service about 16,416 flight hours, and 1170 cycles. FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 65-15A, Chapter 11, covers practices and procedures for the installation and maintenance of aircraft electrical wiring. The AC notes that practices and procedures outlined in this section are general recommendations, and are not intended to replace the manufacturer's instructions. Chapter 11, page 441, Slack in Wiring Bundles, states: "Single wires or wire bundles should not be installed with excessive slack." Page 442, Routing and Installations, states: "All wires and wire groups should be routed and installed to protect them from: (2) high temperatures."
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this incident to be:

Unite Nivo SliderUnite Nivo Slider is a Nivo Slider extension for Joomla. It consists of a module and a component for maximum convenience, and has all the features that the original Nivo Slider js plugin has.
Also, it is "pure" coding without any links back or author trademarks in the code. You may use it freely on your website without any worries for hidden content.
It's very friendly to designers and coders, since you can create your custom Nivo Slider theme, and the module will detect it automatically.
The js slider plugin is created by dev7studios (nivo.dev7studios.com), many thanks
to the author.
Important to mention unite nivo slider is a responsive slider that will work with all your responsive websites.
The UniteCMS team provides full support on every bug you may find, as well as any updates or requests you may have, so don't be hesitate to write us your requests in the comments section bellow, or on the http://unitecms.net website.
For any kind of support please open a support ticket at:
They also provide a component which allows for multiple instances and categories for the module.
Support: Very good. Had an issue with the jQuery between the slider and the Shape 5 Menu. Was solved within 6 hours given the time difference.
I've got the pleasure to ask for support for a particular effect using Unite Nivo Slider module. Unite Nivo and particularly Amit gave me a brilliant solution to my question. Now I have a excellent implementation of a background image with the slider that run within it with a professional look and result. I suggest to all to try and buy Unite Components and Modules. My compliments again !!
This module/component combination does just that for us.
Very nice transitions, very easy setup, and extremely good support on the few quirks we encountered in our context!
Hi. You must be mistaken. It just can't be that way. This is ordinary nivo slider, that work fine, and was used in millions of websites. We just made a comfortable backend. Anyway, please send you website url, I'll look at it and try to understand what's the issue, and how can we handle it.
I initially had trouble getting the slider to work, but after some digging, I discovered that two other modules on my site were also trying to use an older version of Jquery simultaneously and causing a conflict. After manually updating the Jquery for those other modules everything was working.

It took firefighters more than two hours to extinguish an extra-alarm blaze at an Auburn Gresham neighborhood warehouse Friday evening on the South Side.
The fire started about 4:30 p.m. at a vacant warehouse in the 1600 block of West 75th Place, according to Fire Media Affairs.
The blaze was elevated to a two-alarm fire about 4:55 p.m. because of heavy smoke and flames, according to Fire Media Affairs. The fire was extinguished about 6:40 p.m.
Medical crews were sent to the scene, but no injuries were reported, Fire Media spokesman Will Knight said.
The CTA rerouted the No. 9 Ashland buses in both directions near the fire.

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.) was fact-checked on the air with Nevada television journalist Jon Ralston after she made a false claim about the state's Republican Governor Brian Sandoval.
Schultz had said she had confidence the Supreme Court would eventually rule in favor of Obamacare after dueling federal appellate court rulings on whether individuals who bought insurance on the federal exchange rather than the state one may receive government subsidies.
"Just take a state like Nevada, where you have a governor who refused to implement a state exchange and as a result people who get Affordable Care Act healthcare plans are getting them on the federal exchange," she said.
"Let me just stop you for a second, because you're misinformed about that," Ralston said. "Brian Sandoval put in a state exchange. He did, so whoever briefed you on that is wrong. He did put in a state exchange. He was the first Republican governor to do that."
"Ok," she said. "That's not even the point I'm making. I stand corrected. I'm not from Nevada."
This entry was posted in Issues and tagged Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Obamacare
This is how the liberals and especially the die hard democrat people deal with things.
I guess she figured "oh well it doesn't matter that I'm caught in a lie".
Who else comes to mind?????????????????
This is a case of the fourth estate performing it's fundamental purpose.
Politics is not a sport to me.
I give a damn about the country.
The Democrats and Republicans neither impress me with their party loyalty.
What? You're talking to me!!!!
1.All is fair in Love and Politics Tot.
2.I find Republican Talking points the equivalent of baby pabulum. It ain't the 10 Commandments here.
3. Your Black, Profile comments are examples of such. Utterly Ridiculous.
4.Now that I have answered your questions...when are you gonna answer just ONE of mine: You ever been on an analyst couch? I won't hold my breath!
JM your past insults directed at tot warrant no response, I'm sorry but I just don't care to correspond with you.
Ok Tot. I already told you I went and bought me my own goat. However, you seem to possess a strange proclivity for asking me a question from time to time. Displays the walking talking contradiction that is your state.
For the record, I have relatives that are trained on how to help people like you resolve those contradictions.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Federal and state fish and wildlife agencies have stopped moving turtle eggs from beaches in the eastern Florida Panhandle to the Atlantic Coast.
Officials announced late Monday that transfers from Gulf and Franklin counties no longer are necessary because the risk of eggs being damaged by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill have diminished significantly since BP LLC has capped its leaking well off Louisiana.
Both counties are east of Panama City.
Turtle egg excavations, though, will continue on Panhandle beaches farther west.

"You Better Get It in Your Soul." Bassman Charlie Mingus's song title could be considered the watchword of jazz in the Sixties, especially for African-American jazz musicians. Young piano virtuoso Herbie Hancock created the greasy R&B monster jam "Watermelon Man." Established piano man Horace Silver rolled out brass-fueled fandangos such as "Senor Blues" and "Song for My Father." Organist Jimmy Smith removed his instrument from the church and put it Back at the Chicken Shack. Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard made his solo debut with Backlash, bumping and grinding with urban grit. Black was beautiful, and jazz climbed down from its chilly precipice on the avant edge to return to its downhome roots.
In the midst of this soulful explosion emerged the classically trained, bookish-looking Ramsey Lewis, who was setting ablaze the Chicago jazz scene. The buzz on Lewis and his trio soon reached the ears of record mogul Phil Chess, whose label was synonymous with Chicago blues. "We were brought down to [the Chess studios to] audition one Saturday afternoon," Lewis recalls from a hotel on the West Coast, where he's recording with the GRP All-Star Big Band. "[Phil Chess] didn't know a lot about jazz, because he'd been involved with blues. He listened to us and he went out to the shipping room and brought in Sonny -- I've forgotten his last name -- a shipping clerk. 'What do you think of this music?' Sonny said, 'I think it's pretty good.' So Phil said, 'Okay, we'll sign you.'"
More than those of his jazz contemporaries, Lewis's Chess (later Cadet, Chess's jazz arm) sides appealed to mainstream audiences with their groove-seeking renditions of modern pop songs -- "High Heel Sneakers," "Hang on Sloopy," "Hard Day's Night." But before the hits started rolling, the Ramsey Lewis Trio (Lewis, bassman Eldee Young, and drummer Red Holt) was the jazz band to see in Chicago. "We were fortunate that when big-name artists would come to Chicago, Daddy O'Daley, who was sort of our sponsor, would say, 'You know, you ought to go hear this group'," says Lewis. "And they would come, people like Duke Ellington, Nat Cole, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie, which just made us feel great and gave us inspiration to continue on with what we were doing."
And that perseverance paid off. It was album number eighteen, Lewis remembers, that included the trio's take of "The 'In' Crowd" and propelled them to the top of the charts. Besides the pure pop gems, there was Lewis's masterpiece, "Wade in the Water," a spiritual with a primal riff that featured a brass chorus testifying along with the piano-pounding preacher and his two freaky deacons. "I had played that in church," Lewis says of his classic adaption, "so I just did an arrangement on that. In fact, I had played that one in person, and the record company heard me and -- I wasn't even thinking about doing that song -- they said, 'Do that song we heard you play in person.'" As it would again and again, serendipity had played a major part in Lewis's career.
A more recent example of kismet-at-work: Lewis's latest recording, Sky Islands, on the GRP label, offers a medley of his three biggest hits which has received more airplay than any of the new tunes. Lewis didn't even want to include it. "[GRP] said, 'Our demographics show that in Europe, they're still into some of the stuff you did in the Sixties. Why don't you do a medley of those Sixties hits, and we'll just put it on the CD to be released in Europe?' And I said, 'Great! 'Cause I don't think there's anybody interested in those things in the United States.' But what happened is they sent a preview of the album out to several radio stations [in the U.S.] and, mistakenly or not, they put that medley on it and they got phone calls regarding the medley! So they called me: 'Ramsey, all the stations picked two or three songs they like. Some of them were different, but it was unanimous with the medley. So we've got to put that on domestically.'" Although politened and tightened, these songs still communicate the tremendous joy Ramsey Lewis has displayed in his music since the late Fifties.
Times have changed, particularly in the less-than-adventurous world of Nineties Jazz, which generally is as downhome as a weekend at Martha's Vineyard. Lewis realizes that fact, and the new GRP release, currently breathing lofty chart air, is certainly making a bid for new ears.
No longer a three-piece, Lewis's backing -- his repertory band, he calls them -- consists of guitar, sax, bass, drums, and electric keyboards, with vocals on a few tracks. Although one could argue that Lewis rarely made straight-ahead jazz records, Sky Islands is definitely not one. As he did in the beginning, the piano man includes a tune by Lennon and McCartney ("Julia," a standout), as well as contemporary songs by Janet Jackson and Lionel Richie. Production duties are handled by onetime sideman Maurice White (of Earth, Wind and Fire fame), who keeps things moving on the bottom, and son Frayne Lewis, who, along with brother Bobby, keeps the old man from the mothballs. "Being the age they are, 24 and 25 years old, they are in tune with what is going on in the musical field today. And I can't say that for myself, because so much of what I hear doesn't please me, so I'm not terribly influenced by it."

Books on the History of Food
- mielimato Aug 6, 2006 05:15 PM
Anyone have a recommendation for a book on the history of food (i.e. different ways in which it has been consumed and prepared over the centuries and across cultures)? Something that is also fun to read and not too esoteric. Thanks!
Food in History by Reay Tannahill -- You can search through the book at amazon.com http://tinyurl.com/o2b9f
I also like these fascinating websites:
The Food Timeline
Culinary History Timeline: social history, manners & menus
Begin with some of James Trager's books (THE BELLYBOOK, THE FOOD BOOK), Carson Ritchie's FOOD IN CIVILIZATION, Martin Elkort's THE SECRET LIFE OF FOOD, Reay Tannahill's FOOD IN HISTORY, Vernon Pizer's EAT THE GRAPES DOWNWARD and Katie Stewart's THE JOY OF EATING. Any or all of these ought to get you started. None are dry academic tomes and a couple are outright funny.
These are all general "Food History" books. Other titles have a more limited scope - both chronologically and geographically. You may find an era or region that fascinates you. Check out the bibliographies of these books for more specific suggestions.
It's not a sequential history per se, but the Oxford Companion to Food is excellent. The tome is packed full of anecdotes.
They've just released a new edition too:
One of the first cookbooks I bought was "The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Three Ancient Cuisines: China, Greece, and Rome" It's a cookbook and not a food history book, but he does get a bit into the history of each of these cultures.
One of the best ones I've come across -- I read it cover-to-cover, like a novel -- is "The Book of World Cuisines," Howard Hillman (Penguin, 1979).
It's very informative, broken down by region. Highly recommended.
re: JasmineG
I have a question on The Big Oyster, has anyone read it? I had a transcendant experience in Seattle last year involving some pacific oysters and I wanted to learn more about them, what makes them taste so different, where they came from etc. I had hoped that The Big Oyster was about oysters but I had read that it was more about the history of NYC and how the oyster trade affected the city. Any comments?
re: Phaedrus
I have not read The Big Oyster, but yes, everything that I've read about it says that it's specifically related to NYC.
I read one in the spring call "Spice: A History of Temptation"
It is all about the spice trades and how they shaped nations...literally!
RE: The Big Oyster...a great read, and does focus mostly on the impact of the oyster trade in NYC and enrirons. "Salt" is an amazing read, I found more interesting than "The Big Oyster." Read a fabulous book recently on the history of curry..."Curry: A Tale of Cooks and Conquerors" by Lizzie Collingham, simply fabulous read! Bought it in India, but it is published in the US and available on amazon.com. Don't truly know a single book that takes in the entire history of food, but an interesting topic, as the ingredients of food, many cuisines, have fueled history through the ages.

Re: Snobby
I presume you meant to type MP3. And if you know what you are listening for (post and especially pre-echo) it's surprisingly easy to tell the difference between lossy and lossless encoding. If you don't then I agree, most people are fooling themselves.
A simple SSL tweak could protect you from GCHQ/NSA snooping
Fairly obviously, the NSA aren't trying to brute force AES because it's inefficient. A keen student of history will note that Station X didn't try to brute force either Enigma or Lorenz, their methods were much more efficient.
The whole thing is irrelevant if you are tapping the server side backhaul as that won't be encrypted.

Microsoft tripped up by Blighty's techie skills gap
Those damn universities...

Looks like some of the comments were written without reading the article, MS doesn't have a problem recruiting good people (they pay well and they're a big name), their industry partners do. To be perfectly honest, I would want Universities to teach the fundamentals of programming - it seems every time I need to write something new I'm hitting the relevant O'Reilly, even in a language I'm familiar with but the fundamentals of solving a given problem with a relevant algorithm stay in memory. If I'd been taught solely how to program in Java or Python, I'd be royally fsked if asked to code for an embedded device in C or some obscure assembler where memory management is a spreadsheet listing all the shorts, ints and longs in the program.

Fossil fuel, what fossil fuel?
I like the implication that building a power grid that relies on sources other than fossil fuels is an option. Simple scarcity of resource will crank gas, oil and coal prices through the roof.

Acer: Android netbook to come with... Windows
Piss poor marketing is the main problem. Whenever I explain my original EEE 701 I tell them it's like a PC in the same way a Mac is like a PC.

The advertising slots in the middle of America Lacks Perspective or whatever reality crap is flavour of the month are worthless in comparison, despite their huge ratings. People who watch that sort of thing can't even afford to go out of an evening!
Fox and other TV companies are comparatively terrible at selling advertising space, hence why ITV is going down the toilet faster than the excrement they commission.
Black helicopters because they know full well we lap that sort of TV show up.
Budget reaction: Credit insurance good, all else bad

They're talking about quantitative easing, which in Germany lead to Nazism and over here will probably lead to Thatcherism. In the mind of a Guardian reader these are one and the same of course!
What on earth do you think you are doing, Darling?
1) Actually, it's the people who produce value who produce value for the company, their position on the ladder has nothing to do with it. HR, Accounts, PR etc don't produce value in of themselves and yet these are 'growth industries'. If salesman X can bring in several multi-million pound contracts, increasing profits by £10 million, then a salary of £1 million a year seems quite reasonable. More reasonable than paying salesman Y £500k for an increase of £4 million.
2) Our employment laws make it rather hard to reward the good whilst punishing the bad. Anyone who's ever employed more than one person for the same basic role will tell you that some people are worth at least £5.85/hour and some aren't worth the trouble of unbuttoning your flies if their teeth are on fire.
Tux because it's friday.
Who snapped first?
If passive resistance worked in India, imagine what live updates to a streaming video website from a mobile phone being waved at a Police officer wielding a baton can do?
Cause some good laughs in offices across the world most likely.
Microsoft cries netbook victory against Linux
Numbers Game
I still have my original Eee 701 4G around somewhere, sadly it sees nowhere near as much use as my N800. Aside from issues it has with certain websites (BBC, I'm looking at you) a version of the N800/N810 with twice the battery capacity and an 8.4" screen would be ideal. Funnily enough, that's Linux on ARM with proper industrial design and it basically 'just works'.

Canadian cops cry for BlackBerry wiretap
The more you tighten your grasp, the more systems will slip through your fingers
It's highly unlikely that the NSA can break random gibberish, which means nested encryption will always get the better of them, you just have to keep layering it on until the paranoia goes away. Even worse, using TrueCrypt style multiple encrypted volumes in the same container and a 'weaker' password/algorithm on the soft data will foil key guessing and brute force attacks. The research from Cambridge which proved that humans can guess words just from the first and last letter just makes life even harder as it breaks the easier statistical analysis of 'plain text' to find the positive match.
The other issue is that in terrorism cases, the information only needs to remain hidden till it's too late to prevent an incident.

AES Encryption
If I'm not mistaken, isn't AES an American government 'approved' standard for encryption? That ought to raise questions with anyone considering encrypting their phone calls etc.
Also, given sufficient tradecraft skills even a simple encryption scheme can be used to make life very difficult for eavesdroppers. We should all hope that terrorists stay dumb and rely on their encryption.

Cuba crafts extra-communist Linux distro
Open Source is for revolutionaries not governments
Essentially the Cuban spokesman is espousing the idea that if you have the source code, you know what back-doors are put into the compiled version, whereas if you take a pre-compiled binary from somewhere else you have no idea what back-doors are in the source. I very much doubt that the Cuban government wants it's citizens compiling some of the more privacy specific distros from scratch, that'd be a disaster for their security services...

MP calls for Jezza Clarkson's head
110 Comments
So there have allegedly been 500 complaints about Clarkson and on one site there have been 110 comments on an article about a slightly misguided bandwagon jumper?
The conclusion we should draw is that if this person is allowed on TV to defend their views, THEN WE SHOULD ALL COMPLAIN TO OFCOM!
Quite clearly he's offending the entire population by implying that because 500 people are thick enough to complain about Jezza's limited sense of humour, we're all that thick.
Forklift Truck
Given that Wright was working as a fork-lift truck driver at the time of his arrest, though he does hold an HGV license (apparently) surely the media are actually libelling truck drivers by perpetuating the implication that truckers murder prostitutes, by linking Clarkson's remarks with the Ipswich murders, when unlike Sutcliffe, his holding a HGV license had nothing to do with the deaths.

Asus to phase out sub-10in Eee PCs, says CEO
Faecal fan interface
You can see from MS' perspective that making netbooks back into 'real' PCs again is a good thing. From a manufacturers perspective it is a disaster waiting to happen. After a few weeks of constant XP updates and an ever swelling registry, your once nimble XP netbook is nothing more than an old, underpowered, slow loading craptop. One which isn't easily upgraded. Cue customer backlash and a sharp fall in sales. If PCs are appliances, then PCs have to behave like a cooker/fridge/TV, not like some 1970s eastern european car.
If MS can produce a piece of software that maintains the performance of an underpowered PC until it dies, then there is hope for MS yet.
BBC's TV detector vans to remain a state secret
What exactly consitutes a TV?
Back in the good old days, a TV was an analogue tuner and a CRT. Picking either/both of them up from a few yards (we are talking pre-metric) away whilst not exactly trivial, was possible. A TV composed of a LCD and a UHF ADC is a lot harder. Proving that the two components are in fact a working TV is harder still, whereas formerly any CRT in a domestic situation was almost certainly a TV tube.
Prof: 'Taser-proof vests put cops in danger'
Shooting tricks
Most precision shooting relies on controlled breathing, which is always the first thing to go when someone is shooting at you!
I also think for a police officer in a tense situation, being tazered is very low on their list of worries. IIRC a frankly ridiculous number of American police officers are shot with their personal weapon (either through negligence or dropped during confusion), so perhaps an effective safety and a wrist lanyard would sell better than a tin-foil vest?
Blu-ray Disc a 'bag of hurt', says Jobs
Jobs is probably referring to the infamous AACS strictures that Vista operates under. Presumably forcing this kind of crap into the Unix derived OS X is not trivial.
Things like SACD/DVD-A, BR and HD-DVD are for discerning people who care. We're a minority and yes, we can easily tell the difference.
Wikipedia plumbs the filthy depths of plumbing
Far better
The wiki-cognoscenti (if such a thing were possible) edit articles on practices that might be termed NSFW by hyper-linking to articles where the suggested combination would be amusing. The one on 'gigolos' pointing to the evangelical preacher under 'See Also' for instance...
Or creating empty categories or articles such as 'List of French Military Victories'.
There's also the circular logic reference. Make an unsubstantiated claim. Reference a blog/feed etc that you can edit to point back at the article on Wikipedia. Job done.
Paris, because according to a blog I'm about to reference she is a world expert on the written language of Easter Island.

Linux at 17 - What Windows promised to be
Operations per watt
The rather trite IBM commercial aside, if you drive up the cost per watt of computing power, eventually people will want to make energy savings. That's where Linux ought to win the next chunk of market share. Somehow I doubt Macrosoft can compete, unless they bring out versions of Server 2010 (or whatever) specifically designed to run whatever server app the box is hosting.
