phx : what chowhound faves do you not get?
- winedubar Jan 2, 2008 12:47 PM
hey there hounds,
i know everyone's mileage varies in restaurants based on food, service, and a multitude of other items.
i'm curious - what board fave's leave you scratching your head?
i'll go first -
palatte - we tried twice. attitude in full, food marginal, service lacking. i'm on the 'what ev' team for that one.
anyone else??
Fate and Matt's Big Breakfast. Fate's food seemed Costo-esque at best and the service was horrible. The food at Matt's was just nasty. The memory of the ubergreasy hash browns turns my stomach to this day.
Tradiciones. I've only eaten there twice, but both times the food left me unimpressed. On my first visit, I had their pescado à la veracruzana, which was very pretty to look at but tasted pretty much like fish poached in a thin, unseasoned vegetable stock.
On my second visit, I opted for lighter fare and shared an order of street tacos and an order of chicken sopes with my SO. The sope filling was pretty blah (reminiscent of my fish experience) and the tacos were OK, but expensive considering that they were no better than standard taqueria fare.
On the plus side, I did find the service to be friendly and competent.
I've considered giving Tradiciones another shot, but with so many other less expensive, and IMO tastier, Mexican food options, I've yet to convince myself that I should spend any more of my dining dollars there.
Pita Jungle - It's good, mind you, but I still haven't had anything that makes me want to go "WE HAVE TO GO TO PITA JUNGLE!".
Delux - Sure it's a tasty burger, but it's overpriced and their sweet potato fries aren't nearly as good as they were when I first tried them (it was still a novelty then).
re: azhotdish
I agree with your comment on the sweet potato fries. It's like they used to be a lot more crispy or something. The last time we went (it was a while ago), they were limp and undercooked.
Barrio Cafe -- I tried it once, found it just sort of okay, but nothing seemed special enough to make it worth the price or the wait for the table. I found the food too rich and insufficiently flavored for my own tastes.
Matt's Big Breakfast -- Fresh, local ingredients + adaptive reuse of historic building; Should be great, but I find it just okay. The menu just has too much of a Nina Planck feel to it. How about some housemade muesli, multigrain pancakes, and more options for those who don't want such an eggy, buttery, meaty breakfast?
Fate -- I've actually warmed to this place lately. I still don't think it's as good as its reputation, but my most recent visit was actually good. I just wish the portions were more generous.
Richardson's -- I haven't been in a long, long time, but I don't think this place has changed much over the years. The food is reasonably good, but I just can't abide the many non-food-related objections I have to it: no reservations, pre 5/1/07 smokiness, no high chairs, etc.
Any restaurant owned by LGO Hospitality -- Again, good food, but I just don't understand how people can put up with the various policies in place at LGO, Postino, Chelsea's, etc. As I recently wrote on another site: "I think a lot of LGO-mania is based on an inferiority complex about Phoenix. Often, glowing reviews of LGO will mention that it makes customers feel like they are in some other city. When specifics are mentioned, San Francisco is most often the city in question; otherwise, it's some ethereal 'other city' or 'real city' that LGO evokes...I chose to live in Phoenix and prefer it to San Francisco. Phoenix is by no means perfect, and I am among the strongest advocates of needed improvements. Nevertheless, it's my home and I appreciate the city on its own terms. If I wished to eat in a restaurant that simulates another place, I'd be more likely to dine on the Las Vegas Strip than in Arcadia."
re: silverbear
Could not agree with you more on the LGO comment, particularly to the namesake Le Grande Orange. Yeah, the food is good. But I'd also refer to In-N-Out Burger as good. (err.....maybe great, actually) A lot of places are good and good doesn't cut it anymore. I think that Chelsea's Kitchen is truly excellent; basic food prepared well in a nice setting. But I just don't get Le Grande Orange. The food is barely good. There isn't enough seating. Parking....forget it. Service? There isn't any. And you hit the nail on the head regarding people attributing some sort of "cool factor" (imagine me doing little quotes with my fingers as you read that) to it and feeling like they are in some sort of ethereal "cool place." I lived in San Francisco. I lived in LA. And I've spent a lot of time in NYC. And it's no less "cool" here; it's just different. The only attributes of Le Grande Orange that remind me of San Francisco are the inflated prices and lack of parking; and it doesn't make me feel like I'm anywhere else any more than Kentucky Fried Chicken in Central Phoenix makes me feel like I'm in Lexington, without the humidity....
re: sunshineinaz
Agreed, but I deliberately omitted that so as not to start another "Is PB worth the wait" thread that goes on for 50 posts and resolves nothing. Let's stop this one in its tracks.
re: silverbear
Good call! Let's not start that. To each their own.
I don't understand the fascination with Durant's. I love the ambiance, the entrance through the kitchen and the old school rat pack vibe. It is a great place for a Martini. However, in terms of a steak place I would rate it as mediocre. Mastro's, Donovan's, Drinkwater's, etc. have better quality steak and better preparation. Even chains such as Capital Grill and Morton's do a better job with beef.
re: shb123
totally agree shb123
Rancho de Tia Rosa in Mesa.
I have been twice and been totally underwhelmed by everything, especially the laughable cheese crisp. Friends have gone as well as have sworn off ever going again.
On several occasions, I have asked what the draw is and the best answer I get is that it is the only Mexican food in that area.
mama mia's pizza not sure if anyone thinks it's good but I hate it everytime. Also slice of sicily.
i don't know about "chowhound faves" but being in central phx, i constantly hear about the wonder that is "fez" and on the two visits i allowed, i found it wretched. the waitstaff was clueless, the drinks bad and terribly overpriced, and the food uninspired and overpriced as well. bleh. never tried ticoz because of my experience with fez.
with ya on pita jungle... why bother when sabuddy's is across the street (in scottsdale) and so, SO much better?
i'm sure there are others that will occur to me with time.
re: Firenza00
seriously, you are literally the only person i've ever spoken to who has a bad thing to say about the place (not to discount you, by the way, just shocked).
re: Firenza00
I'm just wondering if you know of someplace on the west side that serves decent hummus. :o)
re: Seth Chadwick
I have to agree on Sabuddy's. Both my wife and I lived in Israel for a time and were extremely unimpressed with Sabuddy's, even more so given the raves. In my opinion, Phoenix is truly lacking in great Middle Eastern. Best I have had is Haji Baba in Tempe.
re: avandelay
try al-hana at baiz marketplace. best. baba ganouj. ever.
re: winedubar
Hate to be the voice of negativity but I tried it and was similarly unimpressed. I did not get the baba ganouj so I can't comment on that. but what I got was disapointing. I had high hopes because I loved the atmposhere but the food wasn't up to par. The pita was pretty mediocre. It was neither the common pocket bread nor the flat, but thick, Iraqi pita. It reminded me instead of tortillas. The hummus was all wrong--not nearly enough lemon and garlic and too much tahina. The texture was also off. The chicken was fine but nothing great. All in all, not a great experience.
re: avandelay
You're 100% correct on the hummus Al-Hana, it's not right. What is it that you like at Haji Baba? I used to live about a mile from there and stopped on several occasions and couldn't bring myself to go back.
re: azhotdish
I have seldom encountered any food with more finely differentiated individual preferences than hummus. I think a lot if has to do with hummus being as much about texture as about flavor.
I happen to love the hummus (and everything else) at Sabuddy. I also like Haji-Baba a great deal, yet I've heard people whose opinions I respect express discontent with both. I also like the hummus at Pita Jungle, Phoenicia Cafe, and Yusef's.
On the other hand, I thought the hummus at the old Green Leaf Cafe on 19th Ave was the worst, but I know people who swore by it.
Haven't been to Al-Hana yet, but I hope to like it.
Somehow, I don't think we'll ever see consensus on this, and I'm just glad we have so many good choices for our varying preferences.
re: silverbear
You're not gonna hear any argument from me, silverbear. Just as everything served in a martini glass isn't a martini, everything served with pita bread isn't hummus.
re: silverbear
Preaching to the choir, SB. One of my first ever blog posts was on hummus. Sometimes I think Tara and I live in our own little hummus bubble. We've tried most of the places that people have said have good hummus only to be disappointed. Our theory is once you find a place that consistently serves hummus to your particular tastes, stick to it. :) SKH's hummus always tastes great, even though its consistency (texture, viscosity, etc) varies from time to time since it's homemade.
re: Firenza00
First, let me say that this thread is great for this exact reason--a group of people who collectively take food, and good food, very seriously yet have some many diverse opinions.
That being said my standard order at haji's is the chicken kabob plate. I really like the spices on the chicken, the rice and the dressing for the salad. I also get the falafel which is exceptional. The pita is fine although the only pita in the city that I would rate highly is at the Persian Room in Scottsdale.
As for Hummus I think my problem is I am still trying to find Hummus like I used to buy from a stand in Jerusalem that has been making it since the early part of the 1900s. That stuff was out of this world.
re: avandelay
Oddly enough avandelay, we may have similar tastes when it comes to hummus - my introduction to the stuff was from a 40+ yr Baghdad resident, and will forever be my benchmark. Cheers.
re: avandelay
Is the falafel sandwich at HajiBaba still only $1.99? We havent been in quite some time...but that's always been one of the best deals in town!
Try the hummus at Spices at McClintock and Ray and see what you think.
Great question!
Barrio Cafe - I lived in Coronado when it opened and wanted to love it. The food had me running back down 16th Street for Hacienda's mole.
Pita Jungle - There's much better out there without the ADHD service. Love the lemonade though.
Los Dos Molinos - we were taken here when we first moved to Phoenix. The food was so hot we coudln't taste a thing(and we like spicy). Service was abysmal. Didn't help that we were a group of 8 and all of us were having digestive issues the next day. Won't set foot back in one.
Lola's Tapas - husband isn't a wine drinker so we'd never been. Met a girlfriend there recently...the food didn't overly impress me. It was nice to sit and catch up with her over a bottle of wine but as a food destination it's not my choice
98 South and 56 East - so popular here on my end of town. Again, a great happy hour deal for a glass of wine but foodwise? A big meh. Nothing I've eaten here has every impressed me.
Quiessence - one of the most disappointing meals we've ever had in Phoenix - particularly given the cost. Disappointing in every way: food and service. Probably should give it another try but there are so many other good options we haven't been able to convince ourselves to do so.
Patsy Grimaldis - expensive and burnt tasting(at least the two times we've tried it).
re: ziggylu
Totally agree - never been to 98 South but I've been to 56 East a few times and the happy hour is great but the food really is extremely mediocre - it's a shame because they should be able to pull it all together.
PG would be good (albeit expensive) coal-oven pizza if the sauce wasn't so sweet.
Delux and Fate. Delux - dry, over-lean beef and servers with attitude. Fate - small portions of mediocre greasy food and servers with twice the attitude of Delux. So what if they have a dj...the noise doesn't cover-up culinary mediocrity.
Rito's! Totally don't get it -- I even think it's a little below average. The vaunted green chile is no better than canned and I'd rather chew my burrito than tilt it and drink it. Only a gringo would go out of their way to eat there.
Los Dos Molinos -- at least the south Phoenix and Springerville locations -- rather ordinary, given the hype.
Richardson's -- not bad, but not nearly worth the raves. Carlsbad Tavern and even Arriiba are better.
Durant's -- great place, good steak -- I "get it," but the food is not nearly as good as the prime steakhouses, and it stopped being a bargain some time ago.
Postino -- nice building, but that's it. Nothing else there is nearly worth the hassle.
Matt's -- good food, but pricey for what it is -- who would stand in line for it?
Cibo -- I "get" Cibo, and I like it, but face it -- the pizzas are soggy, either out of balance or underdone.
Maestro's (N. Scottsdale location). I've been underwhelmed on several visits. Eddie V's (is it still open?), is in the same boat, and not just because it's a seafood restaurant.
Otherwise, I tend to agree with most of the recs. here, provided that I have dined there.
I'm not a fan of Richardson's, the restaurant, but love the food - so we always dine at Dick's. No biggie, I just do not like the dark atmosphere. I like to see what I am eating, regardless of how good it is.
re: Bill Hunt
Hunt - This must be the first time that you and I disagree! The last steak I had at Mastro's was so good that I couldn't stop talking about it for weeks. In fact, I cut out a picture from a magazine of a steak that looked like it and put it on the refrigerator to pay homage to that fine piece of beef. Yes, my wife thought I was completely insane...
re: ejs1492
You know, it had to happen. Our visits have been flawed to a very great extent. After the first, I saw all the positive comments on CH, so we tried it again - same thing. Guess I know how to pick the bad nights, or something.
In our cases, it was not just the food, but the food service, and the wine service. Everything was a real bummer. Maybe I should give them a third opportunity (like a real food critic does), and see what might have changed, or what happens, when all goes well. I think I even have a $250 gift certificate to it, but have not used it.
re: Bill Hunt
Let me know if you want to give it a third try; would love to go dutch and post a review here!
re: ejs1492
It would have to be in the Spring, as we are traveling for most of what is left of Winter. If I can talk my wife into it, I'll post an invitation to the board. I can also, always be reached at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
re: ejs1492
I agree with you, their beef is VERY good
re: Molto E
Even though it's not $5400 per lb, like the alleged truffle expense.... ;-)
re: ejs1492
the price was right if something could have been found but the truffle man did not deliver this past week as this year's crop was tough :(...I could be wrong but the white truffle was in the filling not shaved on top? Also, food cost-wise to serve 120 folks and spend 5400 on one pound would not make sense at the price point that the dinner was offered at.
re: Molto E
No clue. I drank way too much wine!
re: ejs1492
then a Happy New Year's it was ;)
re: Molto E
Happy, and blurry.
Fusion in Scottsdale. I had bizarre service (overly attentive and confused at the same time), and our food just wasn't that good. Odd pairings together, if I remember correctly--we haven't been back.
I completely agree with Fate and Pita Jungle naysayers. I found Fate's waitstaff to be unhelpful and snotty, bordering on rude. Even though there may be a lack of Asian fusion food in the valley, Fate isn't the answer. Pita Jungle was...bland. Just bland.
I'd give a big HI-5 to all most all of the responses except somehow three of my favorites landed there.
1. Los Dos Molinos - Anyone that tries a restaurant once with a party of 8 (especially a place that us usually busy) and complains about the service automatically becomes NULL. The food there is awesome. There adovada ribs are quite possible the best New Mexican style Mexican dish i have ever had.
2. Richardson's - Great food and never bad service. Bill nailed it. If you don't like the madhouse, head around the corner to Dick's. And never, EVER compare Richardson's Arriba's. Richardson's is New Mexican food, the same as Carlsbad Tavern, but much better. Arriba's is New Mexican style Mexican, and in the same boat as Los Dos, but once again no where as good.
3. Durant's - I love it, but if you don't get it, that is your loss. Durant's is irreplaceable. For old man steakhouses, Pink Pony and Cork N Cleaver run a distant 2nd and 3rd. Durant's is the pinnacle.
Like I said though. UP HIGH on the rest of 'em. You hit all the big ones, but I think some people just got a little overzealous and started swinging for the fences.
My list?
I'll steal Fate and LGO entities from you guys.
Malee's - Like the PF Changs of Thai
Carlsbad Tavern - Eat somewhere else, then go for dessert.
re: ValleyFever
"Green" in Tempe. the one time I went there it was disgusting.
re: ValleyFever
Some time back, we tried Malee's, and I felt the same way. It was not bad, in any respect, but just did not "get it." We usually get or Thai "fix" in Honolulu, and have not been back. Like I said, it was OK, but not worth the drive for us. We actually had better food at the Pink Lotus (Pink something?), in the Target shopping center on Bell at about Central. Have not been there is some time, so it might not be open any longer.
re: Bill Hunt
Pink Pepper.
The original local Thai chain. There used to be a few around town.
re: mamamia
Thanks! I recalled the "pink" part, but was at a total loss for the rest. Do not ever get old - this happens all too frequently.
I know this entry will not be well received, but here goes anyway...
I don't get Binkley's. It was among the top 5 most expensive meals we have ever eaten (and we are not afraid of paying for good food).
We did the 5 course tasting menu. They brought out a lot of amuse bouche tastes (at least one between each course, and sometimes 2 between each course). It was too much. I got tired being bombarded with all the tastes throughout the meal. The service wasn't exceptional either.
While the meal was definitely good, it simply wasn't amazing enough to justify the high price, and difficulty getting reservations etc. I can name a dozen restaurants in the valley that I would rather go to for a special occasion.
I should mention, that we were seated at a small two-top right next to the hostess stand, which was a terrible table. In hindsight, we should probably asked to be moved, but we didn't. This definitely had a negative influence on our experience.
re: Booger
I'm a big fan (as you can probably tell from my other posts) but agree that it has some drawbacks. Agree that the table you were seated at was not a good one...too much traffic in and out. They are closing for a week to expand the waiting area which should solve that problem. The service is not Mary Elaine's slick....the kind where bread magically appears and your iced tea glass seems to refill itself. But I've always found the service to be competent and - most importantly - the servers actually know something about food which I really, really appreciate. What I love about the place is that you can truly feel the passion for food there; yes, the amuse bouches can be overwhelming but I think they do it because the chef loves to experiment and a traditional dinner menu doesn't give him enough latitude to do that. It's like culinary Attention Deficit Disorder.
I'm not sure if it's considered a "Chowhound fave" or not, but I really disliked Chelsea's Kitchen. Firenza and I took a lot of heat over that, and that's okay (we're used to it for Sabuddy's) :). I had the fried chicken and it was practically inedible. Service wasn't great, and the noise level bordered on deafening.
re: tara17
No, Honey, the chicken WAS inedible. :) Yeah, I truly had high hopes for CK, but man, that was a huge letdown.
I agree about all the LGO places. Had rotisserie chicken at Chelsea's a week ago. Very overcooked. Place was packed with families-all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Liked the burgers at LGO when they first started serving them but noticed a decline in texture and flavor some time later. I don't get it-the popularity, I mean. I have not tried Radio Milano yet. Not a fan of Sabuddy but I'm not sure how popular that place is since he moved it to Scottsdale. I think he did just fine with the ASU crowd when in Tempe. I like one dish at Fate (the Hong Kong noodles) but find it "annoying" that all the dishes come with the same combo of veggies. I agree that Patsy Grimaldi's is a poor runner up to other pizza parlors in town. Pita Jungle? I like the Morroccan gazpacho but that's about it. I think people just like the huge portions and the fresh food. It is fresh, after all. Palatte. Nice outdoor area. Yuck from me on the food. Cibo? Undercooked pizza. Not a fan. Love Pizzeria Bianco but hardly ever go unless we are six people and I can make a reservation in advance. I admire Chris Bianco's attention to detail and I do love the freshness and flavors but I'm not good at waiting. Delux. I go up and down, in and out about that place. Sometimes the burger is good and other times, not so good. Sometimes the bun is dry. The fries? Eh. Nothing to write home about. Binkley's? Ate there twice. Food was good. Crowded. Also sat at the tiny table by hostess. Agree that extra food was overkill for us. It's certainly not the kind of place I would go to regularly or long to go back to unless someone else was paying the bill.
re: bonita
Oh, yeah. I forgot Chelsea's was part of LGO. And here I thought I was coming up with a new one!

Read about the latest news, releases and developments from IET journals.
12 September 2014
A recent advance in nanotechnology could herald the widespread uptake of nanoelectrode arrays and the next generation of low-cost, high-performance nanoscale biosensing devices.
An interdisciplinary research team from the Schools of Engineering and Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh (in association with Nanoflex Ltd), has overcome some of the constraints associated with conventional nano-scale electrode arrays, to develop the first precision-engineered nanoelectrode array system with the promise of high-volume and low-cost.
To read the full article, visit Guardian Science.
2013 Impact Factors from Thomson Reuters have shown growth for a number of journals published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with eight of our of the journals improving their Impact Factor by more than 10 per cent.
Of particular note is IET Renewable Power Generation which has seen great improvement with an impact factor increase of 33 per cent to 2.280; this now places this journal in Quartile 1 in the Engineering, Electrical & Electronic category. This increase is also reflected by a much improved SJR of 2.178 (4 per cent increase) and within a highly competitive market (SNIP: 2.745).
Other IET journals with increased impact factors include IET Computers & Digital Techniques, IET Computer Vision, IET Nanobiotechnology amongst many others.
Ian Stoneham, Publisher for IET Academic Publishing, said: "Although I would caution against relying on Impact Factor as a proxy of a journals' quality, I am heartened by the increase we have seen, especially in some of our journals such as Electronics Letters, which is in its fiftieth year of publication, IET Control Theory and Application and IET Renewable Power Generation."
The IET is committed to publishing the best in engineering and technology research. Together with editorial boards and authors and through our enviable speed of publication and our recently launched digital library (LINK) and comprehensive a subsidised Open access publishing options we will continue to deliver the very best research community.
Full results will be published shortly. 2015 subscription pricing is now available and institutions are welcome to trial one of our journal packages or our newest journal, Healthcare Technology Letters, free of charge. To find out more, contact us email@example.com

Press Release
31 October 2013
Warnings about the use of contactless payment cards and Near Field Communication (NFC) capable devices are raised in a study published today by the Institution of Engineering & Technology's (IET) The Journal of Engineering.
A team of researchers from the University of Surrey successfully received a contactless transmission from distances of 45-80cm using inconspicuous equipment, highlighting security concerns to personal data.
NFC technology is in use on more recent mobile phones and on contactless debit/credit cards issued by UK banks.
The team used portable, inexpensive and easily concealable equipment including a pocket-sized cylindrical antenna, a backpack, and a shopping trolley, none of which would raise suspicion if used in a supermarket queue or in a crowded place.
Using this equipment, the team showed how reliably eavesdropping could be carried out at various distances, with good reception possible even at 45cm when the minimum magnetic field strength required by the standard is in use.
The implications for consumers are significant. "The results we found have an impact on how much we can rely on physical proximity as a 'security feature' of NFC devices", said lead academic supervisor, Dr Johann Briffa. "Designers of applications using NFC need to consider privacy because the intended short range of the channel is no defence against a determined eavesdropper."
Eleanor Gendle, IET Managing Editor at The Journal of Engineering, said: "With banks routinely issuing contactless payment cards to customers, there is a need to raise awareness of the potential security threats. It will be interesting to see further research in this area and ascertain the implications for users of contactless technology with regards to theft, fraud and liability."
According to Paul Krause, Professor of Software Engineering at the University of Surrey, "Open access is vitally important in order to ensure that the results of publicly funded research are made available to all. It is particularly important for the stimulation of innovation in engineering where new enterprises may not have the financial resources to pay for a range of journal subscriptions. The IET has taken a very significant initiative in establishing a high quality open access journal that covers all aspects of engineering in one resource."

The first not-for-profit engineering publisher to offer Open Access journal articles implements RightsLink® for Open Access to manage article processing charges for all publications
Danvers, Mass. – Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a not-for-profit organization and leading provider of licensing and Open Access (OA) solutions, has announced that The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has chosen CCC's RightsLink for Open Access to manage article processing charges for all of its open access journal publications, including the recently launched, The Journal of Engineering.
"Today publishers face an increasingly complex publishing environment in which Open Access is forcing them to consider new dynamics in their management of business models and processes. When we launched our first OA solution at CCC, the market was limited to a small number of articles and "one-size-fits-all" pricing and licensing models," said Roy Kaufman, Managing Director, New Ventures, CCC. "The increased demand for OA content, funding agency requirements, and the need for streamlined transactions and reporting have created new complexities that need to be carefully managed."
Publishers must provide a seamless article processing charge (APC) payment experience for authors and universities while demonstrating policy compliance to funding agencies. As they collect APCs from their authors, publishers must manage publishing requirements from funders and offer licensing options at the article level that are consistent with a publisher's Open Access policies. Moreover, publishers must continually measure and test their OA business models – all with a focus on building a sustainable business. RightsLink for Open Access is a flexible solution that automates these processes.
RightsLink provides the most comprehensive OA solution on the market. RightsLink for Open Access can be integrated with a journal-production system or manuscript-submission workflow, providing publishers a secure way to manage APCs, submission charges, page and color charges, and author reprints. Further, RightsLink also allows publishers to offer "OA aware" licenses at the article level from their websites 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week, providing publishers with a complete OA solution from manuscript acceptance through post-publication licensing.
"Implementing RightsLink for Open Access makes total sense for us," said Daniel Smith, Head of Academic Publishing, IET. "We look forward to increasing operational efficiency as we continue to work with CCC to refine and add to our service options for APC customers to help grow our business and improve author satisfaction."

About open access
The traditional model in academic publishing is based on subscriptions where a set amount is paid up-front, normally by institutions and universities, in order for their staff to access content. The open access model removes this fee and means researchers instead pay when their papers are accepted. No fee is charged for submitting content to a journal. The IET expects its open access broad engineering journal to attract papers from academics who are working in emerging areas or cross-disciplinary areas. The peer review process will remain as stringent as it has always been and once published, open access content will be freely available online to anyone in the world.
The IET's new open access journal will cover a full range of engineering topics from fields including Electrical and Electronic engineering, Mechanical engineering, Energy engineering, Civil engineering, Micro- and Nanotechnology, Computing and Software, Biomedical engineering and Materials engineering.

I thought that mundo was bad before his buffs becasue he was being kept balanced for TT. So now that he is a vialbe pick in SR, how does he go in TT?
I am refering to his not so recent buffs, but I usually only play SR and only just thought about this.
Master Recruiter
God tier jungler mid game he starts to dominate with tankyness with just Warmogs + wits/visage and wardens.
between clevers and his W mundo puts out tons of magic damage early and late. he can build tanky as hell and be super durable while still spamming clevers and burninating people. same as in any mode. remember prioritize his W and clever over E. the constant aoe damage is much better imo than the short auto attack boost. (until late late game)
Th3 Herbalist
I remember when one of the best teams in 3s was Nunu, Mundo and Jax.
Now that I think about it, it's probably still not all that bad..
Junior Member
I don't see how Mundo could be a god jungler,his w drain a lot of life early game,how could he start his route without dying in the way?
oh ok,does anyone could say what mastery to use please? (I'm really noob at jungling..never did but im really interested in trying)

Directory Permissions - Why Authenticated Users?
Sometimes when I move directories the resulting directory needs to be modified under the security tab to add the "Authenticated Users" user in order to remove the lock icon.
I've verified that I am the owner of the directory...and the other users with access to the directory is "System", My Account and "domain/Administrators".
|My System Specs

Just more information to make sure I'm being clear.
If I download a group of wallpapers from Usenet and they go into the "Downloads" library the directory has no lock. Once I move them to the "Walls" library, there is a lock.
If I add "Authenticated Users" to the directory's security tab the lock goes away.
Is this a feature, bug or user error? Any one it might be, how do I stop this behavior?
P.S. This also happens outside of libraries as well, so I don't think it has anything to do with junctions/symlinks.

Toys for 3- to 6-month-olds
Member comments
a BabyCenter Member says
hi,i just need advice here, because my son he is 3 months old now and he had a cradle cap.. just ask if it is itchy or not? his hair slowly gone because he is scratching hes head....
thank you, i hope i can find the answer here.
thank you, i hope i can find the answer here.
chevondamons says
why do babies clench their fists when they a couple of months old?, i thought my baby was scared and it was an indication that she is guarded as in 'does not feel safe, cause of the new environment', is this normal?
SheriMommy says
I don't think the comment meant to leave ur child on the quilt, I think it meant to take the quilt with you so your child will have something familiar w/him/her.
version47 says
I think they mean with your baby...like a neighbors house
Candan0318 says
"whether you're going across the street" Are they really encouraging people to put a baby on an activity quilt or playmat then leave them unsupervised to run across the street????
Kyerev says
I like the article and it will really aid me in even playing more with my soon, but i will happy if some of the things mentioned can have their accompanied photos or image so the we can look for them in the markets
a BabyCenter Member says
To FrauKrista-
There are certian car seats that are safe to leave the handle up. You must check the carseat manual.
But yes toy bars are not safe for a accident. Instead try toys that attach to the back of the seat, or links with a stuffed or rubbery toy, not hard.

Activity bars and long car trips: as a Defensive Driving Instructor, I advise parents NOT to keep the handle of their car seat extended over their child while driving. The car-seat handles are designed to go down while mounted in their base in order to increase their safety in an accident.
In addition, any toys attached to the car-seat become a speeding, flying object that could potentially harm your baby.

My 3 month old LOVES her bouncy seat - can't live without it. It's the "Precious Planet Giraffe" one from Fisher Price and has two rattles and a lion that plays music (that's her favorite - she "sings" along). Best purchase EVER.
a BabyCenter Member says
I do not use the activity bar while driving, but it is a must have item whenever I go to someone else's house, a football game, and even at my own while I'm making dinner etc. My son absolutely loves it.
a BabyCenter Member says
As far as activity bars, you're supposed to remove them from the car seat before the vehicle is in motion or it's a safety hazard. Even the mirrors for seeing a rear-facing baby can become a trajectile in an accident.
a BabyCenter Member says
The manual that came with our infant car seat (and the source I would trust the most) states that you can ride with the handle bar all the way down.
MiaAnn'sMom says
Ya I was very surprised to see this website saying it was okay to keep the carrying bar down during a car ride. We had our carseat installed at our local fire department. The are certified to install carseats correctly, and the first thing the guy said was to keep the handle bar back when riding in the car.
mobley4100 says
From what I have been told, the infant carriers with the handle bars are designed to rotate up during a crash, and having the handle up would prevent it from being able to work as it is designed, and could pose a hazard of breaking. This was from a person certified in child seat safety.
Mommy to my cutie says
We had our car seat professionally inspected and we talked about the safest position of the handle. Apparently it depends on the brand of your car seat. Each one has it's own safest position for driving, whether it be up, partway down or fully back. Check your owner's manual.

PARIS (AP) -- Police say three Kurdish women have been shot dead at a pro-Kurdish center in Paris in what the French interior minister is calling an execution.
RTL radio reported on Thursday that one of the women was apparently a founder of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which seeks autonomy for Kurds in Turkey.
Police would not confirm RTL's report that all three women were shot in the head.
French Interior Minister Manuel Valls visited the scene at the Information Center for Kurdistan, hours after police and firefighters found the bodies. He told French TV the deaths are "without doubt an execution".
In Turkey, Huseyin Celik, the deputy chairman of Turkey's ruling party, said the attack appeared to be the result of "an internal feud" within the PKK.

NARS, you disappoint. So I really want to like NARS. I want to buy and have and use NARS products. I want to love them like other people love them. But theres just nothing I like! The Sephora SA recommended this product over Albatross as a highlighter for me, saying that it would be easier to use, rather than packing on Albatross and hoping that it shows up for its magical highlighting powers. Im very pale and warm-toned, so something snow/paper/white-out white is simply the same color as my skin, just about. And, sure enough, this product does NOT show up on my skin. At all. I can pack it on and get some glitter out of it, but it wears off quickly. As for mixing it in with my foundation or moisturizer . . . seems pointless. I notice no difference. NARS, please produce a product that actually does something on my skin. I returned Cococabana.
More reviews by AntiqueGlitter
I disagree with the previous reviewer below me--I'm NC35 and this looks great on me! I believe it'll look great on anyone, including medium and dark skin tones, as long as you apply it minimally and you know how to apply it. As with most makeup products, you can make almost anything work for you--it's all in the application and technique.
Copacabana is an invisible pink with a silvery frosty sheen--exactly the same as Benefit High Beam, except it seems to me that High Beam is more frosty and has more reflects (which I prefer).
But that doesn't mean that Copacabana isn't good. In fact, this is a great highlighter. You can add some to your cheekbones (or on cheekbones on top of blush), nose bridge, middle of chin, Cupid's bow, inner eye corners, or brow bone--or wherever you want--to achieve a nice glow. Be careful not to overapply, though--as with all highlighters, less is a LOT more!
I'm not too keen on the formula, though--it's not runny, nor is it too thick, but it's not totally long-lasting. Within a few hours of wear time, I notice that it's already gone. Of course, the packaging is convenient enough to carry in my bag for touch-ups, but I'd rather not have to touch up at all.
It's also quite pricey, retailing at $30 for a 1.1 oz. tube.
Would I repurchase? No.

Basically I mix it with my foundation when my skin is feeling extra dry or in the summer when i want less coverage. I use double wear light 1.0 which is a bit dark on my fair skin but this has got a pinky silvery color which makes the foundation a bit lighter and bit more on the neutral side which ends up being a perfect match for me. I do own benefit high beam and i have to say to colors are exactly the same. But i do not like the benefit one because it is hard to apply but nars copacabana is a dream for that.Revlon sells and a liquid illuminator as well but that shade is quite darker and a bit more peachy that this one which doesnt work when i mix it with my double wear light foundation. Copacabana works really well as a highlighter. It gives you a luminous-radiant effect rather than a shimmery one and blends like a dream. I really love this product but the price is a bit over the top for what it is but i will still repurchase. I have to mention that this color will not work well on medium or dark skitones but you can go for the other colors in the range(orgasm and laguna). Do not go for super orgasm because it is quite pinky it would only work under a blush to give your cheeks some radiance not a cheekbone highlighter.

Good stuff. I mix a little with my foundation when I need more of a pick up to my complexion.
I love this product!! Hooray! Finally, I found a perfect liquid Highlighter for my combination skin. It gives a natural glowy look and stay on my skin all day long. I was told to apply it under my foundation, but I don't think it works for me because after I put my powder on, it doesn't give enough glowy look on my face, so I applied it after powder instead and it's perfect, however, don't apply too much of it because if you apply too much liquid over powder, it's hard to blend into your skin and you will end-up having a messy skin instead. The price is a bit expensive for Highlighter, but it will last a long time....
I use this as a highlighter on my cheekbones and I love it! It's easy to blend and you only need the tiniest bit. Be careful not to overdo it because it can get very very shiny. I just put a tiny bit on my fingertip, dab it along my cheekbones, and I'm ready to go! Love it!
Firstly, let me say the formula, smell, ease of application, and packaging are all top-notch. The color just doesn't suit anyone but with the palest and coolest of skintones. I am very light yet I have yellow undertones that clashed with Copacabana; even if you only lean slightly warm of center, you should skip this shade. In the tube, I thought I noticed a very slight golden sheen, but it vanished when I patted it onto my skin. It appears extremely pinkish-silver and a little goes a very long way, so be careful-- much more so than the more-subdued Orgasm.
I know that this shade isn't meant to work for everyone, so I was just giving golden ladies a heads-up; there are many great things about Copacabana characteristic of Nars. As I said, the formula is somewhere between a creme and liquid, so it's easy to work with. It'll last forever because only a tiny dab is needed to highlight the face, and the microscopic shimmers look gorgeous without overwhelming your features. Also the flip-top/small spout dispenser is much easier to handle than the previous twist-cap design (with the latter, I would get an occasional illuminator explosion when I'd try to squeeze some out).
So there it is. On pale, cool women this would be a hit and I highly recommend it. As for me, I'm running back to my Orgasm Illuminator and will never abandon it again!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
a little goes a long way with this product. it's very dry and must be blended in very well. i like this for all over under liquid and mineral powders but can be a little 'glittery.' better for going out or bolder highlighting. works great for brightening my yellow undertones.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Yes, this was overall a good product, however I would not buy this specific illuminator in this color again. It is extremley hard to blend, because it gets really streaky. Also appears to make skin look oily, or icy. But it does go on very smoothy, and a little product goes such a long way. I do love the orgasim one by NARS though.
Was really expecting more from this product, literally. You seem to get so little product for the price. The colour pay off isn't great either, it's a very pale colour, too pale for me and I'm NW15! It looks really icy and not in a good way, very early 2000's. It's also really shimmery and just generally looks really tacky. Definitely would not buy it again, NARS seems to be so hit and miss these days.

Physical Graffiti: Motivating "Public" Art
Seeing people on the move inspires me to get up and go, but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words; murals and graffiti depicting running or cycling have the same effect. I am easily moved. Here is a small collection of "public" art, some sanctioned, some not, that should help motivate you to get physical.
