Other Sushi places in Brooklyn besides Geido
We are looking for a new place to enjoy Sushi (had a very dissappointing experience at Geido last night which didn't have anything to do with the food) so we are in search of a new place that compares in price and quality but without attitude. Thanks a bunch in advance.
I highly recommend Gen at 659 Washington Avenue and St. Marks in Prospect Heights. Excellent sushi and sashimi and great cooked dishes as well. The owners are Japanese rastafarians. Very sweet and attentive service also.
Cube 63, on Court Street in Cobble Hill, is excellent. A branch of a Manhattan restaurant, we've found it to be the best traditional sushi (no really big pieces!)in the Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens neighborhood. Cooked items are well-prepared, as well, but this is a sushi destination. Really worth trying.
re: MichaelZ
I second Cube 63. They have really fresh tasty stuff and the restaurant is well designed and pleasant. Osaka is ok, but has gone downhill over the last few years. Also, their delivery is sloooooow. I'm not crazy about Ki on Smith (their fish seems substandard), but I only went there once, right after it opened, so possibly it's improved.
Osaka, also on Court St., is very good and is highly rated in Zagat. (I can't compare it to Cube 63 as I've not tried that one yet.)
Taro Sushi, on Dean Street, is - IMHO - the best sushi in Brooklyn. (I haven't had Gen, though, but I find it far superior to Geido.) Don't go here for cooked food, it's definitely not the focus. (That said, cooked and grilled sushi bar items are generally fantastic.) Go on Friday/Saturday night for the greatest variety, but be prepared to wait. Lots of fish flown in from Tsukiji. Also a very tasty ankimo appetizer.
I second Taro. I had a specially ordered lobster sashimi and whole fried clams which were out of this world. I also concur on going on Fridays and Saturdays, you should make reservations. Gen, Osaka, Geido and the like....dumps.
Taro is the only sushi bar in the outer boroughs that comes close to the level of the better places in Manhattan. It can be a little short on atmosphere, and sure as hell doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is superior.
Ki Sushi on Smith is excellent. Mine and all my friend's go to place since it openned. The owner and staff are really nice so I'm happy to see them busy quite often when I walk by.
Between Taro, Geido and Blue Ribbon (I have not gone to Gen), you have all the sushi/Japanese places you will need in Park Slope!
Don't you need to know something about sushi to get a good meal at Taro? Order off the menu or know the chef? I had a ridiculously bland and yucky sushi/sashimi combo a few months ago, and just haven't had the interest to go back.
However, do folks have guidance on how to order to get the best of what Taro has to offer?
This is a good chow question in general- small places often specialize in something but may not be overall superior.
re: Sarah McC
Go when Sano is behind the counter, I believe that's Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri&Sat then ask him to serve you omakase (however that's spelled), you might also ask him to serve you something Japanese people might eat such as nato, eel bones, etc..
re: bigmackdaddy
Thanks for the rec. Will do.

It was fantastic. Our tour guide Avia (Sp ???) was excellent. She was very informed about everything asked of her. Very knowledgeable about the Island. BUT, I thought my husband tipped her and he thought I did. This has been on my mind since we left and I need to know an address to send her something. Please make this possible for me. Karen Smith
Very worthwhile trip. Enjoyed our guide. Best part was seeing the volcano at night!
Wonderful trip thru the local tour operator. Our guide Jesse was very knowledgeable about the island, the volcanic history and having grown up in Hawaii he had lots of great island stories. The dinner overlooking the volcano on a clear night was amazing. We saw the glow of the lava and my husband who is a photographer got great pictures. We saw steam coming out of the volcano besides the chemicals wafting out the volcano (which were drifting away from us). It was great!
It has been a great experience for my family vacation and the tour was fun and educational. Thanks
Grant was an excellent guide and the tour was wonderful. His knowledge of The Big Island was incredibly impressive. It was a great experience from start to finish!
The guide was awesome!
Loved the experience
Our tour guide was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the island and volcanoes.
We loved this tour. We were picked up from our hotel by a very knowledgeable guide who made our experience first class. The trip was nicely broken up to avoid any long travel spells. Highlights included: coffee farm, Lava tubes, steaming vents and the view of the active lava pond of Kilauea volcano.
We had no idea when we booked this tour that we would be the only 2 on the tour. The other group of 4 cancelled at the last minute. Jordon was our guide and he made the tour so special. Everything was spectacular. The dinner was great and the view unbelievable. Because it was just the 3 of us, we bonded. Jordon told us about live on the island and gave us a special background about the island. I would recommend this tour to our friends and they would be lucky to get Jordon as a guide.
Loved the tour! Our guide Aaron was fantastic. He is so knowledgable and personal. He made the tour great! Would do it again and again with him as a tour guide!!
This was a great tour. Our tour guide was super and very knowledgeable. It was a small group. The highlight was seeing the volcano at night. We were picked up at our Hotel on time and off we went.
Great toyr guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining, went out of his way to give us a great volcano experience!
great.. five stars... our guide was wonderful and full of information.. he was funny too.. thanks for wonderful experience
Amazing tour!! We started in Kona and went to try coffee and tea for free at an organic farm...Hawaiian coffee is delicious!. Our guide, Grant, was very knowledgable and funny. Dinner was very good...recommend to eat the fish, you will love it too. The volcano experience is a WOW!!!

SAN RAMON, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/13/12 -- WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a leading provider of global collaboration software to the software development industry, today announced SmartSVN 7.5, an enhanced cross-platform graphical client for Apache Subversion that enables developers to streamline the software development process by providing optimized access to Subversion capabilities. Available as either a standalone GUI or integrated directly with Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X, SmartSVN 7.5 provides organizations with a responsive and intelligent interface for increasing developer operations, resolving code conflicts, simplifying merges and customizing the overall developer experience.
"Through SmartSVN 7.5, software professionals have a more simplified and optimized interface into native features and capabilities," said David Richards, Chairman and CEO of WANdisco. "This provides organizations with a more efficient software development process, enabling them to reduce conflicts and errors and deliver high-quality products to market more rapidly."
SmartSVN 7.5 can be easily purchased via the newly redesigned WANdisco store, an online resource for procuring a complete developer's workspace that includes an SVN client, file compare, Conflict Solver and an SSH client. The WANdisco store offers a simplified purchasing experience, enabling developers to easily purchase and install SmartSVN 7.5 when they need it. Once downloaded, developers can immediately conduct a side-by-side comparison of features and directly edit the compared files. Developers can also work with tags and branches as conveniently as if they were native Subversion features. Because this is achievable within a single frame of reference, software development organizations can communicate with a Subversion server from a single location.
Other key features of SmartSVN 7.5 include:
- Enhanced Interface delivers enhanced visualization: SmartSVN's GUI provides a detailed project overview. The most important files, such as conflicting, modified and missing files, are displayed first, ensuring close attention is paid to these files -- thereby increasing quality.
- API architecture enables customizable experience: Developers can personalize client operations around other tools they use within the Subversion ecosystem. Users can extend menu options, add their own links, change keyboard shortcuts, set defaults and write their own plug-in using the SmartSVN API.
- Conflict Solvers provide simplified detection and management of issues: SmartSVN's built-in Conflict Solver combines the freedom of a general three-way-merge with the ability to easily detect and manually resolve such conflicts. Edits can be accepted, rejected or edited as necessary to meet product development specifications.
- Native merge capabilities streamline developer operations: Because native merge capabilities are included within a common merge workflow, users can perform all merge commands from within the client. This solves challenges associated with moved or renamed branch files being merged with SVN.
Pricing and Availability
SmartSVN 7.5 is available immediately with pricing beginning at $69 for a single user. Until December 1, 2012, use the coupon code 7point5twenty to save up to $20 per user. Volume purchases are available as well. To find out more or to receive a quote, please contact WANdisco at www.smartsvn.com/buy

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Londoner's Guide to London
Sweet, well-written, frequently funny romantic comedy that just about survives its chemistry imbalance thanks to a spirited performance from Bosworth.
Director Robert Luketic proved he could handle both comedy and 'Next Big Thing' blonde leading ladies when he made the surprise hit Legally Blonde, so it's a pleasure to see him back in familiar romcom territory here. The love triangle plot may be just – ahem - a tad too clichéd and it suffers because of too much chemistry between the 'wrong' couple, but it has great performances from Kate Bosworth and Josh Duhamel and hilarious support from Ginnifer Goodwin.
Checkout Girl's Dreams Come True
Kate Bosworth (Blue Crush) plays Rosalee Futch, a supermarket checkout girl in rural Frazier's Bottom, West Virginia. When she enters a competition and wins a date with her favourite movie star Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel, from TV's Las Vegas, in his big screen debut), she thinks all her dreams have come true. However, her manager and childhood best friend Pete (Topher Grace from That 70s Show) is less than pleased for her, not least because he's been harbouring a deep-seated crush on her for several years.
The contest itself is the brainchild of Hamilton's agent (Nathan Lane) and manager (Sean Hayes) - both of whom are named Richard Levy - a brainchild conceived with the aim of combating Hamilton's bad boy image. However, it backfires severely when Hamilton finds himself falling for Rosalee's pure heart and moves to West Virginia to be with her…
As a showcase for the talents of Kate Bosworth, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! is a huge success – she's utterly adorable and lights up every scene she's in. Duhamel is good, too, particularly as the writers wisely decided against making him a total bastard. The problem is that Duhamel and Bosworth are just too good together – there's palpable chemistry between them and none whatsoever between Bosworth and Topher Grace, which almost scuppers the film towards the end.
Some Casting Problems
It's fair to say that, although Grace is a fine comic performer in his own right, he is woefully miscast here – his sarcastic persona from That 70s Show has been transferred to his role as Pete and seems out of place. The script helps him out where it can (the speech about her six different smiles is a winner) but it just isn't enough.
Luckily, the superb supporting cast are on hand to compensate for the films chemical deficiencies. Nathan Lane and Sean Hayes are a hilarious double-act, to the point where you wish they were in more scenes. However, Ginnifer Goodwin (the 'plain' one from Mona Lisa Smile) almost steals the entire film with her portrayal of Rosalee's lusty best friend Cathy – hopefully she'll get lots of similar offers in future.
In short, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! is an enjoyable romcom with likeable characters and several good gags, even if the final resolution doesn't quite work. Worth seeing for Bosworth and Goodwin, anyway.

SF - Goza Goza Cuban sandwich truck ... real Cuban, NOT Mexican Cubanos
- rworange Oct 30, 2007 11:06 AM
The truck is hidden at the intersection where Otis, Gough and McCoppin meet ... right near Mission.
For $6 you get a true Cubano on soft, grilled French roll with slices of roasted pork, a slice of fried ham, melted Swiss cheese and a pickle.
While it is not up there with a Florida sandwich, it is one of the better versions I've tried in the Bay Area.
They also sell burritos and tacos, but the truck, I'm guessing, is about the Cuban Sandwich. They don't even list the meat available for the tacos.
The aqua frescas looked interesting ... they had mamey ... but it turns out they are bottled, not house made.
The food gods led me here because ... sheesh ... that ain't an easy location to get to. I was hell-bent on Friday to eat a sputnick burger at Russian Renaissance ... even rescheduled my SF appointments ... RR has discontinued lunch. So then I figure if Cafe Katya has any parking near it I'd FINALLY try that Russian joint since Friday is one of the few days it is open for lunch. No parking. So I figure ... ok ... the Yucatan joint on 16th and as I drove down Gough to get from Geary to the Mission ... voila ... Goyza Goyza ... I circle the block intrigued by the Cuban sandwich sign ... a parking place opens up next to it ... the food gods speaketh. ... so I figured despite the slow software which took 20 minutes to post this I'd spread the word. Open Mon-Fri 10an - 6pm
Tacos Goza Goza Truck
25th St and Harrison St, San Francisco, CA
Good one.
A surprisingly tasty Cubano is made by the Panini Time packaged sandwich people with the standard ingredients on focaccia with a chipotle mayo. Have not eaten it pressed or heated, but cold it's better than any I've had since I last ate at La Teresita in Tampa/St. Pete 10 years ago. I suspect that your truck will be even better.
Excellent tip. Sounds like its behind the McRosky store?
We've been reading all the Dexter novels which are set in Miami. The constant references to Cuban food have been driving us crazzzzy. I've even set travelocity to watch fares to Miami.
We went to Paladar last Friday for lunch. The menu is robust and the food quite good but since Goza Goza is just down the street, we'll definitely be checking it out. Did you notice if they have any other Cuban specialities?
re: larochelle
What did you have at Paladar - and how was it?
re: lmarie
Palador was quite good. I had the media noche de pollo, BFF had the cubano. Both sandwiches were well balanced with juicy & tender meats.
We shared the banana chips (with garlic dipping sauce) and the crispy cassava (with spicy aoli). The place was packed and every dish we saw looked great.
Its a haul for both of us so its not going to became a regular hang-out, but we'll definitely go back.
re: larochelle
Where's Palador?
Have you tried Laurel's on Oak? I like Mambo's in San Rafael, but some of the dishes can be solid.
I keep wanting to try El Rincon on 16th that is a club at night. Seems like they discontinued lunch and I'm not in that area usually at night anymore.

re: larochelle
That was it. The Cuban sandwich.
Yeah... that's not my neck of the woods so I'm not sure if it is behind McRosky. It is a block down from the carwash on Mission/Van Ness.
re: rworange
We checked the otis-gough intersection yesterday around 3pm - it wasn't there.
Its not that "permanent" truck on the V lot (not on the street) at Mission/Van Ness that's completely changed their menu a couple of times in the past few years?
re: larochelle
No, Goza Goza is on the street, but that is the block I circled to get back to the Cuban sandwich truck. You take a hard left at the permanent cart heading back to the Mission and it should be at the spot where the three streets converge under some trees.There is a small parking lot next to it.
The permanent truck is El Pelon. As long as you reminded me about it, might as well ask.
Real Cubanos! I just got back from a week in NY, the highlight of which was a delicious one from my favorite place on Flatbush Ave, and I'm already missing them. I'll check it out tomorrow and report back.
BTW, the Google map in the link is a mess -- it seems to be showing an Otis Street in a completely different city. Possibly a completely different universe.
re: JoyM
Just to be clear ... it is not Miami standard, but good for the Bay Area. It's not the real roll, but still a suitable French roll and nicely grilled. The pickle is a plain old pickle. Still, nice pieces of roast pork. I might ask for an extra slice of melted Swiss next time though.
re: Dave MP
whats the word on the mustard ratio. The excessive amount on mine at Sol food - killed my taste buds the whole meal
My co-worker and I went today at lunch to try to get Cuban sandwiches, and we couldn't find the truck! We spent 20 minutes looking for it (biked all around Mission/Market/McCoppin/Otis/S. Van Ness/Valencia/Gough areas to no avail!)......we even asked a few people, and no one knew what I was talking about....
So maybe we missed it, in which case, where exactly is it?
Otherwise, maybe it wasn't around today.
We went to La Boulange on Octavia/Hayes instead. I had one of the pre-made turkey/cranberry sandwiches, and it was pretty boring.
Hopefully we can figure out this mysterious cuban sandwich truck though, since it's so close to my work!

re: Dave MP
Honestly, I'm glad I copied down the phone number or no one would believe me about the Brigadoon-like Cuban sandwich truck. The guy said they were there mon-fri and there's a little parking lot with some trees at the point where McCoppin/Otis//Gough meet. If I remember, I'll try to give them a call to see what goes. They do catering but I can't imagine them being on a catering gig all week.
re: rworange
Yep, we were there, and there was definitely no truck :(
Maybe they are catering? It would be great if you could give them a call (or if you think it's appropriate, post the phone number) so I can find out when they'll be there.
Thanks a lot!
re: Dave MP
The catering phone number is in the Places link for the truck.
re: Melanie Wong
Yeah, I saw that too right after I posted, but when I called it, it said the line was disconnected. Hmmm
rworange, is that the right number?
re: rworange
Maybe it turned into the Korean BBQ truck. Has anyone ever seen them together?
re: rworange
Here is a map (and hopefully google street view) with the parking lot where I thought the truck was going to be (but wasn't). Is this right?
re: Dave MP
Yeah, that would be exactly where it was. Threw away the number after I copied it to the Place record. Honestly ... I saw the truck ... this was NOT after going to Wunder breweryI was totally sober at the time ... I DID eat Cubano ... stupid truck. If the guy was going out of business or something ya think he wouldn't have bothered to give me his hours when I asked.
re: rworange
haha, it's okay. I work so close to there that I can easily swing by every day to see if he's there. I'll report back.
re: Dave MP
I went by today at 12:20 and there was no truck to be seen.
Maybe I'll look on Monday, which will be exactly one week since your visit.
re: Dave MP
Me too...I went by on Wednesday and no truck! I wanna Cubano! Make them come back!
re: Dave MP
I went by again today (Tuesday Nov 6) and they were no where to be seen. My dreams of cubanos are starting to shatter.....
re: Dave MP
Well, dang. I was hoping this was a report. Now even I am susupecting I was halucinating Cubanos. I wonder if I caught them on the last day in business.
re: Zucumber84
I went to Cafe Lo Cubano for lunch one day after a doctor appointment (what takes me to that area) and I was very unimpressed. Staff was much more interested in chatting than serving customers. I thought the food was bland and uninspired. Maybe I was there on an off day, but I have no plans to give them another chance.
re: Xiao Yang
Thanks for the tip. As soon as I read that, I ran over there, but there was no more truck at 4:15....ah well. But I will check that corner tomorrow. I am determined to track down this truck!
Dave MP
re: Dave MP
I checked Mission and 11th today, no truck.
Walked to Otis/Gough and no truck there either.
I can't find this truck. If anyone ever does see it, please find out what their schedule is!
re: Dave MP
I went there on foot myself today, and yeah, it was nowhere to be seen. It occurred to me that it's probably not a frequent location, because when I saw it it was parked parallel to the curb and would have to feed two diagonal parking space meters to keep from getting ticketed.
It's hard to believe it can make itself invisible so easily, because the lettering "Goza Goza" on the side is so large it should visible a block away.
I even asked a cop on a two-wheeler if he knew where it hung out and he was not aware of the truck.....

National survey: Rockford Collegeranks high in student engagement
For immediate release – 1/22/09Contact: Chuck Brown, Communications – 815-226-3374
Students at Rockford College think highly of the college on everything from accessibility to faculty to a supportive campus environment, according to a report from a national survey of college students.
The report, issued by the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), is based on surveys that evaluate undergraduate education at more than 750 participating schools involving some 380,000 students. Rockford College has taken part in the survey for several years as a means to gauge how well the school is helping students succeed in college.
The good news for Rockford College is that, in each of the five "benchmarks of effective educational practice" established by NSSE, the college scored higher than or equal to similar colleges as defined by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. It also scored higher than selected peer institutions and exceeded virtually all scores from the last survey of Rockford College students.
"These are very positive signs that the college is effectively engaging students in ways that help them learn and grow," said Robert L. Head, Rockford College president. "I also believe it says a lot about our faculty and staff and their commitment to student success."
The NSSE project surveys both first-year students and seniors to learn about student behaviors that have been shown by extensive research to improve student learning. Some of the college's highest-performing areas fall under the categories of active and collaborative learning, student–faculty interaction, enriching educational experiences and supportive campus environment.
For instance, senior students participate in community-based projects as part of regular course work more often than peer institutions. First-year students, meanwhile, discuss grades, assignments, or career plans more often. Both groups rated their relationships with college administrative personnel and offices more positively than students at peer institutions.
Rockford College recently retooled its orientation and retention office to provide closer, ongoing student contact, and set up a "success series" for students on such subjects as test-taking anxiety and overcoming procrastination. The college also has a low student-teacher ratio of 11-1, making it easier for students to interact with their professors, and offers tutoring and other supportive services.
"I have always received the help and attention I needed, so I am not surprised the college scored so well," said senior Tony Hardin, a psychology major from St. Peters, MO, when told of the survey results. "Everyone here wants you to succeed."
Here are a few examples of what goes into the five benchmarks for effective educational practices as part of the NSSE survey: • Level of Academic Challenge: How much time was spent preparing for class? How many readings and assigned writings were there? Did courses emphasize applying theories to practical problems?
• Active and Collaborative Learning: Did students ask questions in class? Make presentations? Tutor others? Participate in community-based projects? • Student-Faculty Interaction: Did students discuss grades or assignments, career plans, or readings with faculty? Work with faculty on research or community projects?
• Enriching Educational Experiences: Did students talk with people of different religions, ethnicities, or political opinions? Did they study abroad? Learn foreign languages or culture? Do an internship?
• Supportive Campus Environment: Does the campus support students academically and non-academically? What is the quality of students' relationships with other students, faculty and administrators?
A summary of survey results and comparisons with other colleges follows. (The + sign shows where the college scored better than other groups. Blank spaces means it is about the same.)

moreFrom the author of The Last Mughal and Nine Lives: the classic stories he gathered during the ten years he spent journeying across the Indian subcontinent, from Sri Lanka and southern India to the North West Frontier of Pakistan. As he searched for evidence of Kali Yug, the "age of darkness" predicted by an ancient Hindu cosmology in a final epoch of strife and corruption, Dalrymple encountered a region that thrilled and surprised him. Venturing to places rarely visited by foreigners, he presents compelling portraits of a diverse range of figures—from a Hindi rap megastar through the Tamil Tigers to the drug lords of Pakistan. Dalrymple's love for the subcontinent comes across in every page, which makes its chronicles of political corruption, ethnic violence and social disintegration all the more poignant. The result is a dark yet vibrant travelogue, and a unique look at a region that continues to be marked by rapid change and unlimited possibilities as it struggles to reconcile the forces of modernity and tradition. less

Bradley County: Man held without bond in death of wife
I know the victims daughter and heard what had happened. This man should never have been released to begin with. From what i heard he was sent to prison at 21. that is like letting manson out and expecting him to conform to society... dont they call that being institutionalised? who will give a convicted murderer a job after 20 yrs in prison. what prospects of a job can he get? this could have been prevented if they kept a closer eye on him and monitored his progress back intro society. i understand he was arrested in dec 2010 for dwi. what happened? that should have told them something. our prays are with the daughter and the son who was serving in iraq.

Dec 10, 2012This game is very bad.
Pros: Good graphics from unreal engine, Good weapon sounds, Good Animations, Online bot match
Cons: Takes way to many shots to kill someone, Extreme lag even on lowest settings, Weapons and animations replicate Cod4, Killstreaks promote camping, Game mechanic where you get many kills you become weak, Lots of children gamers (cod players) camp, base rape, text troll, no teamwork, and smart a*s-ness, Weapons cost too much, Very bad AI.
Overall this is an exact copy of (what else) CoD. It is not a fun game because it relies on cheap players rampaging, base raping, camping, and using killstreaks then getting rewarded for that play. However, if you are one of those butt fu**ers that obsess over CoD 24/7 then this is your cake.… Full Review »
Feb 9, 2013Not a good game at all. Poor graphics(not good enough to compete with other f2p's), poor character and weapon customization, bad maps( maps allow you to camp), poor gameplay, a lot of children players. The worst side about the game was unrealistic weapons, having lag always even with lowest options and the truth that if you want to get some kill streaks you must be a camper. The only good side about the game was that it was free to play i think and actually it isn't a pay to win.… Full Review »
Feb 9, 2013A multiplayer Call of Duty 4 (and so on...) clone, nothing more. Also, it's lagging soo hard sometimes and you have to shoot soo many bullets to the enemy to kill him/her. Anyway, the graphics are good, but it's not enough to call it a good game.… Full Review »

[p]Norfolk, VA - Last year, Stephanie Evans attended her school's career fair in hopes of finding a job. This year, she is returning to the event, but this time, it's to look for prospective employees.[/p]
[p]Evans graduated from ECPI University's Culinary Institute of Virginia (CIV) in 2010 with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Culinary Arts and is now a general manager for the Kelly's Tavern restaurant chain, which has 11 sites in Hampton Roads.[/p]
"It's exciting to come back to this event a year later and to be on the other side of the table, offering career opportunities," says Evans, 25, a Newport News resident. "I'm looking to fill several positions."
According to the National Restaurant Association, restaurants added jobs at a +1.7% rate in the 12 months ending August 2011, compared to +1.0% for the overall economy. The demand for workers is evident as up to 40 companies and several hundred students are expected to participate in CIV's Career Fair on Wednesday, October 12, a significant increase from the 15 companies and several dozen students who attended the school's first such event five years ago. Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Aramark Food Service, Walt Disney World, Wintergreen Resort and local restaurants such as Kelly's are among the employers attending.
"Our recruitment strategy is to draw from local, regional and national culinary schools, but often with a focus on people who know the local cuisine and are in close proximity," says Rhys Lewis, Executive Chef of the Williamsburg Lodge at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. "Currently we have five CIV student externs, six graduates on staff and we will be looking to add to that number. The school prepares its graduates well and it continues to invest in instruction and programs."

Eminem's comeback album Relapse will reportedly hit the one million sales mark next week after a month in stores.
While reportedly set to land at either No. 2 or No. 3, Em's project will likely be outsold by The Black Eyed Peas' new album.
The sound you heard is the Black Eyed Peas landing at #1 on next week's HITS Album sales chart with a total anywhere between 190-215k for The E.N.D. Based on those same one-day sales reports, this week's chart-topper RCA's Dave Matthews Band and Interscope's dope rapper Eminem will have an old-fashioned street battle for #2, with both in the 115-125k range. Next highest debut will be Atlantic's Pleasure P at 35-40k, Sony Music Latin's Aventura (25-30k), Downtown's Mos Def (25-30k) and Stax/Concord Music Group's Teena Marie (15-20k). (Hits Daily Double)
After three weeks in stores, the rapper's fifth solo disc has already reached over 900,000 sold copies.
Grammy-winning rapper Eminem fell to No. 2 as Dave Matthews Band's Big Whiskey & The Groogrux Kin sold 425,200 copies to Em's 141,200 units. According to Nielsen Soundscan, the rapper's fifth solo project has sold 961,600 records after three weeks in stores. (SOHH Sales Wrap)
Em was recently named "Artist of the Decade" for his record-setting album sales which bypassed both Nelly and Jay-Z's sales.
1. Eminem, 31,127,000. First charted: 1999. Eminem, 36, is the top male artist and the top rap artist so far in this decade. His 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP is his best-seller. It has sold 10,178,000 copies. 7. Nelly, 21,206,000. First charted: 2000. Nelly, 34, is the #1 new artist to emerge in this decade, edging out Linkin Park. He's also the #1 African American artist, edging out Jay-Z, and the #2 rap artist. Nelly's 2000 debut, Country Grammar, is his best-selling album. It has sold 8,454,000 copies. 10. Jay-Z, 19,379,000. First charted: 1996. Jay-Z, 39, is the #3 rap artist of the decade. 2003's The Black Album is his best-selling album of this decade. It has sold 3,338,000 copies. Jay-Z was the #152 album-selling act of the '90s. (Yahoo News)
Despite his record-selling ability, Em recently said his focus was on attaining the fans' respect.
"I mean, record sales to me, honestly, since the beginning of my career I've always said they're not as important to me as the respect and things like that," Em explained in an interview last month. "I would just rather rap and get respect from the fans and my peers and things like that. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to sell any records, but at the same time it's not my main priority." (106 & Park)

The Shapers are pre-cut and pre-shaped so that when placed under and/or over the eyebrow, they remove the hair to the precise contour of a perfectly shaped eye brow. Each package contains 18 sets of Shapers consisting of 2 cold wax strips, one upper (for shaping and removing hair just above the brow) and one lower (for shaping and removing hair just below the brow) and 16 rectangular shapers (for between the brow, chin and upper lip).

JERUSALEM – Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired three rockets into Israel on Tuesday, breaking a temporary cease-fire and casting a shadow on indirect negotiations about ending a monthlong war between Israel and Hamas.
The Israeli military said the rockets landed in open fields near the southern city of Beersheba. While no one was hurt, the rocket fire broke a nearly weeklong lull that has held during the Egyptian-mediated negotiations.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But shortly before the launch, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum hinted of more rocket fire, saying: "If Netanyahu doesn't understand ... the language of politics in Cairo, we know how to make him understand."
Officials said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered an unspecified response.
"This rocket attack on Beersheba is a grave and direction violation of the cease-fire," Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said.
The effect it would have on the negotiations in Cairo was not immediately clear.
Earlier Tuesday, Palestinian and Israeli negotiators had resumed their indirect talks after agreeing to a 24-hour extension of the cease-fire to allow more time for negotiations.
The negotiations are aimed at working out a long-term arrangement between Israel and Hamas following weeks of fighting that has killed about 2,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, and left tens of thousands more homeless. Sixty-seven Israelis have died, all but three of them soldiers.
Hamas is seeking an end to a seven-year Israeli-Egypt blockade that has ravaged Gaza's economy. Israel wants Hamas to disarm. An Egyptian compromise proposal calls for easing the blockade, but not lifting it.
And while Hamas would not be required to give up its arsenal, the Egyptian plan would give Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas, whose forces were ousted by Hamas in 2007, a foothold back in Gaza, running border crossings and overseeing internationally-backed reconstruction.
Mohammed Daraghmeh of the Associated Press in Cairo contributed to this report.

text: Cruz, Durbin Clash on Senate Floor Over Obamacare Print article Send a Tip by Kerry Picket 4 Oct 2013 post a comment Debate over the government shutdown and Obamcare became testy on Friday afternoon between Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX). Durbin accused Cruz of causing "damage" with the government shutdown, which Durbin said Cruz "inspired' by his 21-hour speech last week on the Senate floor. Cruz was asking for unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to immediate consideration of a House resolution that would provide continuing appropriations during a government shutdown for reserve members of the U.S. military. Durbin and the rest of the Democrats, however, do not want to consider the "piecemeal" bill. "If the gentleman from Texas is really focused on veterans and those who have served our country, take into consideration the 560,000 federal employees who are currently facing furlough or are on furlough who are veterans, a fourth of whom are disabled veterans," Durbin said. "So what the junior senator from Texas is doing is picking and choosing those he will allow in the lifeboat. At this moment, it's the National Guard and Reserve." The House of Representatives attempted to pass a measure that would have restored all veterans benefits during the government shutdown earlier in the week, but the vote was under a suspension calendar and required a 2/3 majority of the House to pass. While not a single Republican voted against the resolution, only 33 Democrats crossed the aisle and voted for the funding measure, ultimately not enough to pass the resolution in the lower chamber. Cruz hit back at Durbin for not withdrawing his objection to Cruz's request for unanimous consent. "This bill that has passed the House does not mention Obamacare. It simply says the exact same thing that my friend from Illinois already agreed to, which is that the active duty men and women of the military would not be held hostage and would be paid if it so happened that the Democrats forced a shutdown," Cruz said. "Now, apparently, the position of the majority of this body is that we have got a double standard, that reserve members are not treated as well as active duty members, that reserve members will not get their pay checks," Cruz said. "Let's be clear that this bill could be on the president's desk for signature today if my friend from Illinois would simply withdraw his objection." Cruz claimed Durbin's objection to be a reflection of "cynicism not befitting of the responsibility" members of Congress have. "My friend is prepared to object and to say that not just veterans but reserve members shall be held hostage in order to force Obamacare on the American people, that that is the objective. I guess now the Democratic Party has become the Party of Obamacare, by Obamacare and for Obamacare all of the time, and every other priority recedes." "So veterans are told your concerns do not matter unless we can use you as a hostage to force Obamacare on the American people," he explained. "Mr. President, that's cynical." Durbin took offense at Cruz's remarks, retorting, "I would say to my colleague from Texas some of the language which he used in this debate relative to impugning the motives of other members may have crossed the line. I am not going to raise it at this point, but I ask him to be careful in the future. I object." Durbin's criticism came on the same day that Harry Reid apologized for his insults in attacking Cruz over the government shutdown. Support for slowing down the individual mandate of the healthcare law remains strong among House Republicans. Following a meeting with House members, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced on Friday that the GOP would not vote for a bill that did not at least delay Obamacare's individual mandate.

Burgers Bar coming to Teaneck
The window signs are up - on Queen Anne Rd on the block between Mocha Bleu and the Exxon station. Poor location for a takeout place.... there's very limited convenient parking for a quick stop.
re: DebbyT
I think you might find them open at noon today... just a hunch. (Dec 21, 2010)
re: loffy
Friday, January 22, 2010
Burgers Bar open in Teaneck
Burgers Bar has opened in the West Englewood Plaza section of Teaneck. It's a kosher specialty burger restaurant, similar to Bobby's Burger Palace and Five Guys. The concept started in Israel, and there are two other locations in Brooklyn and Long Island. The menu (which is similar to the Cedarhurst one here, though prices vary somewhat) is made of of beef, lamb and chicken burgers, plus hot dogs, steak, salads, fries, plus chicken fingers, wings, poppers and Moroccan cigars.
All burgers are ground in-house, made to order and served with your choice of 17 sauces like sweet chili, garlic mayo and "orange-a-cue." Sandwich sauces and salad dressings are made from scratch in house. There's a seven-step ordering process, but it basically amounts to: you order and pick up your burger at the counter, then sit in one of the 40 seats, mostly booths. Check out owner Mitch Krevat's cartoon glass collection in the back.
The restaurant is open 11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday and one hour after sundown to 3 a.m. Saturday. It's closed Friday. 1383 Queen Anne Road, Teaneck, 201-530-5022. (There's no big sign yet - look for the old "Best Deal Liquidation" sign.)
re: bigredesq
>There's a seven-step ordering process
and if you don't follow them then its NO BURGER FOR YOU!
Sorry folks, I couldn't resist :)
the BB in KGH is pretty good.
I just wish they'd learn how to
make sweet potato fries.
it's such a simple trick to do.
re: Joe Berger
Where is the Burgers Bar in KGH?
re: queenscook
there is none, there is a burger place attached to pita hot, but its not a burgers bar, the burgers are pretty good, the fries are horrific
re: shoelace
shoe - thanks for the correction - yeah, their fries do suck.
I just remembered Burger'something in the name... LOL
I do remember they have the same "gimmick" of making
fresh grilled burgers with your choice of crazy condiments.
re: shoelace
i like their burgers better than burgers bar, but the fries are unforgiveable
just remembered the name, its called k-burger
re: shoelace
If I remember correctly, their onion rings were OK,
certainly better than Carlos & Gabby's all crust rings.
I'm not sure if they were from K-Burger or
that attached Israeli food place next door,
but they were pretty decent as I recall.
re: Joe Berger
i love carlos and gabbys onion rings, have u had them more than once, is it possible that you had one bad experience or something?
i dont know anyone who hasnt loved them
oh, and odly the fries at pita hot arent bad, not great, but not bad, two stores attached to eachother, youd think that if one had good fries, both would
re: shoelace
I guess we had bad luck at Dinner.
I went to the C&G in Cedarhurst.
The french fries tasted like moth balls,
and the onion rings were only crust,
the onion had dissolved away completely.
their potato fries were freezer burned,
and whoever prepared the onion rings,
should have use more onion, less ring.
re: Joe Berger
the fries are ble thereh, but the onion rings, and the jalapeno poppers are very good, give them another try
re: Joe Berger
That was the saddest poem I've ever read. Sniff.
re: shoelace
I went there once, they have no idea how to serve/make burgers or serve customers. They put the burger on teh grill when you pay, and it sits there until they are good and rwady for your "order" by then, its way way overcooked, but they dont care. You can wait all over again. Seven dolalrs is LOT for a burger, all you get is a "special sauce" you can make yourself. If you got 5 toppings with it, then ok, but its kust a sauce. Whats teh big deal? And certainly teh burger, being overcooked, made it a waste.
re: wallstbnkr
I went there yesterday and I have a few comments:
1) Why do burger places have to put their "special spices" in the patties? Cant a burger taste like BEEF? Cant we have an option?
2) What is up with those "fries"? Sometimes, people try to get cute with their own ideas and screw a good thing up. Thoseare not good. Way too greasy and not all of them are cooked when you get them. A lot of them stick together.
3) if you have a choice of grilling a hot dog, browning it on a flst top or deep frying it, are you really choosing to deep fry it?
4) put more people behind the counter. 1 guy cant take orders, pick up the phone, take money, cook and finish orders.
Other then that....GREAT JOB!
re: KosherChef
All Israeli french fries are soggy and greasy. K-burger is an Israeli place and it doesn't taste 'American.'
re: wallstbnkr
We went last week and were insanely disappointed.
The beef patties were thin and the spices in them weren't really "there". The buns were dry. The thinly sliced fries, more like fresh chips, were cute, but tasted of oil instead of potato. There were a ton of them overdone as well.
The hot dogs were nothing special, but for two things: they sell a foot long dog in a normal bun, which is just odd, and not only do they not have sauerkraut, the two guys behind the counter had no idea what I was asking about. A hot dog without sauerkraut is an abomination unto Nuggan.
They did have a full set of Pepsi Jelly Glasses in a display case. That was neat.Also, staff was quick and helpful.
I can't say I'd eat there again, even on someone else's dime. I'd even rather go to (gasp) Dougies down the block if they were my only two choices (and then I'd explain ot the person why Noah's Ark should have been a choice)
re: typo lad
I forgot about the lack of sauerkraut, which I thought was crazy!
(although they were able to add caramelized onions as a topping instead, buts still...)
How can you sell a hot dog with no kraut?
re: KosherChef
Thanks for the constructive criticism...we now have sauerkraut at Burgers Bar.
re: mktgny
One day, when my granchildren ask me what I have done for Klal Yisroel, i will tell them of this.
re: typo lad
To be fair, new abominations unto Nuggan pop up all the time, you can't expect the Israelis to keep track of them all.
re: The Cameraman
I... try not to look at the sky.
Well, Burgers Bar Teaneck will never be confused with Burgers Bar in Israel or, for that matter, the one in Brooklyn. For my family it is the french fries and in Teaneck they are just not making them right. They are thin but arrive mostly uncooked and all stuck together. In Israel and in Brooklyn they are cooked crispy on both sides and are still soft in the middle and very delicious. The burger wraps were tasty but not "wrapped" very well. The people behind the counter were friendly and accommodating but very, very slow. Oh and the limited seating is very limited and very tight. My friend is pregnant and we had to wait for a table because the booths were too narrow for her to sit! Too many people standing over you waiting for your table to even check out the glass collection in the back. I may try it again in a month or two after they get the kinks out. I hope they master the learning curve and get it right. I wish them well.
re: mommysmazal
I love Burgers Bar. The first time I went, early this year, it was definitely a bit sub-par. However, in several trips there since, it has been amazing. The spicy burgers are flavored really well, the fries are good, and the staff very helpful. One thing that has consistently disappointed though is the lack of tehina as a topping. It is on their list of sauces, but they have never had it. I loved to put tehina on my burgers at Burgers Bar in Israel! Oh well, while disappointing, not a big deal. The place still rocks (and is definitely better than Dougies...)

Youve got to hand it to the Italiansand Europeans in general. They really have their priorities in line when it comes to their artistic forms of expression. And nowhere is this more evident than in Italian cinema. My Brother is an Only Child, the 2007 film directed by Daniele Luchetti features a notoriously loopy plotline that defies reasonable attempts at a pithy synopsis. All you need to know is the film explores issues involving family, love, politics and life in the seminary. The Bowers Museum will be screening the film this week for a nominal $10 fee. Ahh, European cinema, the perfect reprieve when youve had your fill of the Stathams, Stallones and Schwarzeneggers of the world.

Dell mainstreams cloud servers
For the past several years, server and PC maker Dell has built a sizeable and mostly hidden business selling custom-made servers to elite data center customers facing power, cooling, and compute capacity issues that its regular SMB and enterprise customers don't have to cope with. But as hyperscale computing - database …
big whoop
As you said the most interesting is the 2U/quad server system, the others aren't anything special (let's see dual socket 4 HD, and single AC PSU, where's the innovation there?) but there is little innovation here since Supermicro has had a similar system for quite some time now
I suppose it may work for shops that can only buy from the "big name" companies. Myself I think SGI Cloudrack is a far more innovative and scalable system. I'm sure DCS can come up with some creative things as well but if you can't buy them(1,000+ minimum order) then what difference does it make.
I think anyone who buys a new 5600 system is a fool as well, given most manufacturers will have two socket 8-core systems coming soon, and dual socket 8 and 12 core Opterons. Unless performance really doesn't matter to you(in which case pick whatever is cheapest), get more cores on the die.
"Mainstreams" is not a word. Randomly verbing things weirds language.

When I wrote my first cookbook, I compiled my favorite grilled foods. Some were familiar, but some seemed pretty crazy back in 2005! Of those crazy foods, grilled romaine lettuce remains one of my favorites. And I'm not alone. Today, it is so popular it's on restaurant menus all over the place, a sure sign that Americans have embraced the idea that a salad can be grilled.
I paired my grilled romaine classically, with a homemade blue cheese dressing and crispy apple wood smoked bacon. It's the ultimate steakhouse wedge salad. And it's perfect for Dad on Father's Day.
The real beauty of this recipe is how the heat of the grill wilts and caramelizes the lettuce, intensifying the flavor and adding a wisp of smoke. The texture becomes crispy on the edges and silky inside. Mix that with the rich and slightly pungent blue cheese and the salty, smoky bacon, and you've got a salad that eats like a main course. Meaty, rich and delicious!
I usually make the blue cheese dressing the day before because it benefits from sitting overnight in the refrigerator. The flavors truly blend and blossom during this extra time. It also makes this salad that much easier to grill and serve. The bacon can be fried in advance, as well. But if you do that, just before serving place it in a paper towel and microwave it for 15 to 20 seconds, or until the fat begins to sizzle. I dice the meatiest bacon I can find into 1/4-inch pieces before frying so that they fry up into bits and don't need crumbling. You also could use pancetta.
The grilled salad works best with hearts of romaine and they must be washed and very dry before cooking. I usually purchase the already cleaned hearts to make this step foolproof. Slice the hearts in half lengthwise and make sure to leave the stem attached (this prevents the leaves from falling apart during grilling).
The whole grilling process takes just a few minutes because you want the inside of the lettuce to be raw and crunchy and barely warmed. The key is to cut across the grilled heart of romaine and mix the crispy pieces with the fully cooked soft and silky pieces and the crunchy interior pieces. It's literally an explosion of textures and big bold flavors.
