"Plugged in, Not Charging" - Battery
I recently did a clean install after my hard disc stopped working and had to be replaced.
Before this, my battery was working perfectly and lasted about 5-6 hours. However, after installing Windows 7 Ultimate x86 again, my laptop doesn't seem to charge anymore above 2%. The second I take off my adapter, the laptop turns off.
I can't find any drivers for the battery or anything related on the ASUS website. I was also wondering if this could possibly be a problem with my Hybrid Graphics, since my NVIDIA G210M graphics card wasn't working well either and had to be uninstalled.
I also tested to see if it was a problem with my adapter, but my laptop works without the battery connected, with just the adapter being plugged in.
So how can I get my battery working again without having to replace it? (I don't think it's a hardware problem anyways). Thanks in advance.

Hi there
Hate to say it but your battery needs replacing. It DOES happen on laptops from time to time especially if you have had the laptop a while.
Also modern manufacturing tolerances or QC isn't as good as it used to be --emphasis is on cheapness and get the stuff out of the door as fast as possible so you could have got a "bad" one too. Just the luck of the draw unless its within warranty period.
When they die they go quite suddenly -- no warning or whatever -- rather like car batteries -- OK one day and then dead as a dodo the next.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Alright, i'll go out to buy a new battery soon, but it's barely been a year since I've gotten this laptop and I'd think that the battery would have lasted at least 18 months... but like you said, I could have just been unlucky with the one I received.
I guess re-installing windows 7 a few days ago had nothing to do with it and this incident was purely coincidental. What's even worse is that both my hard drive and battery stopped working at more or less the same time.
Also, is there any way to be certain this is a hardware problem rather than a software one?

Hi there
I'd imagine if Windows 7 was a "Battery destroyer" after all this time people would have posted on it.
It's totally unfortunate in the instances you had -- both HDD and battery -- I'd check the warranty if I were you -- sometimes there's a 2 year warranty on things like batteries.
I don't know where you bought the laptop -- but if you know some "Scrobbity" lawyers and you paid for it with a Credit Card (not a debit card) you might get away with a claim under an equivalent of the UK "Section 25" of the CCA (Consumer credit Act). (Sometimes -- although usually rarely Lawyers DO have their uses !!).
Consumer Credit Act and Your Consumer Rights | Consumer Information
(Read 2nd paragraph).
The UK doesn't have the greatest consumers credit protection -- those AWFUL pay day loan companies such as WONGA etc with 3000 % interest are allowed to operate the UK in spite of being banned elsewhere in Europe - but the Consumer Credit Act tends to be fairly similar throughout the EU / EEA as well so if you paid with a credit card the "Section 25" equivalent" might get you a decent refund.

Windows 7 x64 / Windows Server 2008 / Linux (Redhat & Deb distros) / OS X / More
Go to the device manager and uninstall the ACPI driver under batteries, and reboot. Windows will automatically reinstall it. Windows 7 is notorious for this problem. It is possible that your battery is shot, but i would try this first. also, pull your battery out and put it back in. one time that was the simple fix to this problem for me.

A Charlottesville expo is trying to make it a little easier to be green.
Monticello Media hosted the Healthy Green Expo at the Omni Hotel Saturday afternoon. More than a dozen local services set up tables to show people how to lead a greener, healthier lifestyle.
People got some good information and some freebies along the way.
One message from today's vendors was that going green can help you save some green.
"For those who are looking at a green expo, it's not as much always about green for the environment as it's green for the pocket book," said Joe Thomas, a radio host on WCHV. "These are things that you can impact the amount of money you spend every month in a positive way."
Also at the expo, the Local Energy Alliance Program announced 10 local families who are finalists in the Home Energy Makeover contest.
More than 1,100 people applied. The 10 finalists will receive a free energy performance assessment, valued at $400. Then, two of them will win the grand prize of a home energy makeover, valued at up to $10,000.
"The Home Energy Makeover contest that LEAP has been sponsoring is meant to be a way to generate some excitement and interest on energy efficiency, which may be considered a less exciting subject," said Cynthia Adams, LEAP's executive director.
Half of the finalists are from Charlottesville, and the other half are from Albemarle County. A family from each locality will be chosen as the winners.

The Wallery
Sílvia Langa got in touch to tell me about The Wallery.
"Basically, we make unframed art. The Wallery is a place where a unique selection of international and emerging artists think outside the frame. We design art wallpaper murals and vinyls that make the frame obsolete."
Designs are sold online with an application tool and installation instructions.
Noir (above) designed by freelance illustrator Iván Bravo.
Otoño (above) designed by Clara of María Diamantes.
Muses (above) designed by Barcelona-based freelance illustrator Conrad Roset.
Les Fleurs du Mal (above) designed by Basque illustrator and designer Amaia Arrazola.
Jungla (above) designed by Barcelona-based French illustrator Caroline Selmes.
Faces (above) designed by Guim Tió.
Bear Scout World (above) designed by Madrid-born Bandid8.
Next Door (above) designed by Home de Caramel, an animation studio based deep in the woods near Barcelona.
The paper is FSC® certified and comes from well-managed forests. You can see prices, sizing, and other designs on The Wallery website.
And if you want to become a "wallerist" to have your own illustrations applied to wallpapers or vinyls, add your portfolio details here.
Super project.

Nice find, I'm not usually a fan of wallpapers or decals but some of these look pretty good.
Wow – if I was a kid, I'd love the paper with all the different faces on – what a brilliant bedroom! Generally, I'm not a fan of wallpaper, or at least wasn't until I saw these…my default is to think of flowery, ill-aligned sub-William Morris tat…just shows what can be done when an old idea is cleverly refreshed. Very nice.
This is amazing. I would've loved to have something like this decorate my walls when I was younger instead of plastering magazine clippings everywhere with masking tape. I know a lot of illustrators would love to have their work live in someone's office/home and etc.
Great idea, great works!
I particularly like the top image (Noir I think it's called) but I just don't think I could bring myself to have them on my wall. They're all lovely pieces of work, but I'd fear having sore eyes all the time. Very very busy.
I really like these personally, it's not something that I would normally go for but for some reason I'm drawn to those, particularly Next Door.
I love the work. To be honest I want to work for you guys someday, inspiring pieces.
Anything to add?
Comments may be edited or deleted if I don't like the cut of your jib, but that's quite unlikely.

Spotsylvania Planning Commission recommends Keswick rezoning
The Spotsylvania County Planning Commission voted last night to approve a rezoning request that would allow the Keswick development of apartments, townhouses, single-family homes and a new public park near the courthouse area. The county's planning staff had recommended against the rezoning, as I wrote here. The matter will now go to the county's Board of Supervisors, which has final say on whether to grant the rezoning of the 158-acre property from Agricultural 2 to Planned Development Housing 5. The hearing is expected in February.
Click here for more details on the proposed Keswick project and see tomorrow's FLS for more.

An Afton man was convicted in Nelson County of possessing a firearm after previously being convicted of a violent felony. The charges against Donovan Lacy Smith, 34, stem from a shooting earlier this year.
On April 15, Nelson County deputies responded to a call for shots fired near a home on Rockfish Valley Highway. When they arrived, deputies spotted a van sitting in the parking lot of the Rockfish Presbyterian Church. When deputies drove up to investigate, Smith got out of the van with blood on his hands. They also noticed an empty rifle magazine lying on the ground next to the van.
Deputies learned that Smith was involved in a shooting that evening. A search of the van turned up an AK-47 assault rifle in the van's floorboard. After learning Smith had previously been convicted of unlawful wounding in Waynesboro in 2002 he was charged with possessing a firearm after being a convicted felon.
Smith admitted to shooting the rifle earlier that morning following a dispute at the Thai-Mex restaurant in Nellysford. There were no injuries in that shooting.
Smith will be sentenced on November 15. He faces 5 years in prison.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
MAIZE, Kan -- Bob Scott can't get enough of the holiday season, and this year, he's surprising dozens with an early Christmas surprise.
"It's not about making money. It's a matter of having a wonderful time with the kids, with seeing families," said Scott, owner of Prairie Pine Christmas Tree Farm in Maize. "This effort we're doing now to help the military families around the country is because we feel in debt to them for what they've done for our country. We want to give back as much as we can."
He's one of many farmers across the country donating fresh farm-grown Christmas trees. The effort is for the Christmas Spirit Foundation's Trees for Troops program.
"It's partial payment for the duty they're doing, for the work they're doing," said Jerry Eck, owner of Bel Christmas Tree Farm in Salina.
Eck served in the Army, and said he's thrilled to pay it forward.
"Again, we're very supportive of the effort and the hope that things go well. We appreciate Fed Ex doing this for us."
Eck and Scott are members of the Kansas Christmas Tree Association, which is contributing 10 of 100 trees locally.
"Right now giving the trees to the military bases is very important because we want those families to be happy and to have a chance to have a little bit of hope for the future," Scott said.
Trees for Troops has collected more than 122,000 trees since it was established in 2005. FedEx is a partner with the program and this year, it will voluntarily deliver 17,000 trees to military families station at more than 60 bases in the U.S. and overseas.

November 27, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin Assembly is set to vote on a bill that would increase election recount fees.
Currently candidates can request a free recount if the margin between them is less than half-a-percent of the votes cast. If the margin is between half-a-percent and 2 percent the requestor pays $5 per ward. If the margin is more than 2 percent the requestor pays the full cost.
The Republican bill would reduce the threshold for free recounts to a quarter of a percent and raise ward fees to $25. Requestors would pay the full cost if the margin is 1 percent or greater.
The Assembly is scheduled to vote on the bill Tuesday. The body was set to vote in November but minority Democrats used a procedural maneuver to delay the proceedings.

Using sophisticated models of physiology and pharmacology, the mannequins automatically produce a simulated response based on a student's actions or interventions. The CVC also has several portable mannequins which allows physicians and nurses to train with paramedics in the field.
The simulators blink, speak, breathe, have a heartbeat, eight pulse points and a variety of other anatomical features that allow students to practice intravenous drug delivery, CPR, catheterizations, basic obstetrics skills, as well as airway management and respiratory therapy for both adult and pediatric patients.
Why Simulate?
The CVC offers a comprehensive Simulation Education Series of brown-bag luncheons. The series is geared towards UCDHS faculty and staff to develop essential skills for using simulation in various educational offerings. The presentations are delivered by UCDHS faculty and staff experts, with a goal to have a mix of content from general educational overview to hands-on learning using the simulators. Below you will find a link to previous presentations.

Re: WrestleMania XXIX Match Card Predictions
HeelKofiKingston pretty much has a similar card to what I thought of.
WWE Championship
CM Punk(c) vs. The Rock vs. John Cena
The Streak
Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker
Dolph Ziggler vs. Triple H
* I'm a bit iffy on this one. I don't have anything else for either of these guys to do, and I don't see Ziggler cashing in his briefcase at Mania. And if Ziggler feuds with anyone else at Mania then he's gonna be devalued, he needs a big match, and Hunter can put him on the spot. It probably won't happen, but this is more of a situation where I don't have anything for either guys. If not chuck them in the Elimination Tag and make it 6v6.
5 on 5 Elimination, Street Fight, Anything Goes - Team McMahon vs. Team Heyman
Sheamus, Randy Orton, RyBack, Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara vs. The Shield, Big Show and Mark Henry
World Heavyweight Championship
Alberto Del Rio(c) vs. Chris Jericho
Special Attraction Celebrity Match - Special Guest Referee
Kane /w Charlie Sheen vs. Daniel Bryan /w Pete Rose /w Dr Shelby as Special Guest Referee
United States Championship
Antonio Cesaro(c) vs. The Miz

Quotable Quotes
"Mental illness is not the shameful secret it used to be -- if you suffer from depression, if you're alcoholic, if you have an autistic child, you can look other people in the eye and say so and expect them to be decent about it. You just say, "I'm bipolar,' or 'My son is schizophrenic,' or 'My daughter has apraxia,' and that is that. "Oh," they say, and you talk about it, or you don't and life goes on... . Mental illness needs to be named and acknowledged so it can be accepted and put in its proper place and life can go on."
-- Garrison Keillor, noted speaker and author: Copyright 2004 Garrison Keillor
"Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm."

TMZ is now providing a little more details into the incident between Matt Hardy and Reby Sky at a motel during New Years Eve that led to their arrest. The gossip website is reporting that Reby was upset with Hardy because she thought he had been drinking or under the influences of drugs.
With his recent DUI arrest and a fractured neck suffered during practice, it appears that Tito Ortiz could be done with Bellator. If that is the case, then it looks like the former UFC champion could be done with TNA as well, as Dixie Carter and her promotion would no longer be contractually obligated to utilize him.
Reports spread yesterday about a new arrest warrant being issued for Ric Flair and noted that it might be a reason why he is not attending the Carolina Panthers game. However, it turns out that it is the same warrant that was issued last summer.
Tito Ortiz, who tried to restart his MMA career with Bellator and has made appearances for TNA on Impact Wrestling, was arrested this morning in Los Angeles after crashing his vehicle on the freeway. Police are investigating a possible DUI offense.
Tyson Tomko was arrested on robbery charges earlier today. He allegedly stole 210 tablets of Oxycodone from a CVS pharmacy. The police report also stated that the former WWE star immediately went into a restaurant bathroom and injected himself with the crushed up pills.
"It's just so frustrating, because they just released something that was completely not what I said. It's pretty clear that Matt's been needing help, and the other day he was in a bad way and I called for help. Cops came, and all these reports are saying that I led them to some secret cave that contained prescription pills. They never found any prescription pills at all in the house, what they found was steroids. After having to go to the police station to sign all these papers, I come back to my house upside down, there is 5 men in my kitchen and I am being interrogated. Everything that they needed to find was already found. So it is just a whole bunch of hate mail: Reby you snitch, you're a rat. At the end of the day I just wanted Matt to get help, I called for Matt to get help, and guess what? He left this morning for WWE sponsored rehab. He is getting help."
Justin Roberts revealed on Twitter that he was stuck at the airport, but he didn't it mind it too much because it enabled him the opportunity to catch up with Jake Roberts.
Justin Roberts became a fan of professional wrestling as a kid because he met Kerry Von Erich and the Ultimate Warrior at a hotel in Wisconsin. He had recently started watching after catching an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event and became an even bigger fan after meeting the performers.

New to Mount Kisco, need the lay of the land
Just moved to Mount Kisco and have only started exploring its food options. So far, I've sampled Little Kebab Station (very good), Village Social (ditto), Azteca (ok) and Bellizzi (ok, good for kids).
What are some other places worth checking out? There are a bunch of Mexican/Central American places in town, any highlights? How about food stores/bakeries/wine and liquor shops, etc.? Now that I no longer have easy access to Fairway, the Mt. Kisco Smokehouse looks interesting, any reports?
Also, anything in the immediate surrounding areas (Bedford Hills, Katonah, Yorktown Heights, etc.) worth checking out?
I think MRS meant Armonk!!! In Armonk, Restaurant North for fancy, Fortina for great pizza. In Kisco for wine check out the liquor store in the shopping center with A&P - it's on the little strip mall side. John has an excellent selection of wines, especially Italian. The Mt. Kisco Smokehouse on Lexington Avenue is great - several types of salmon, they have smoked shrimp and mussels as well. Very nice people. For fish, Mt. Kisco seafood, also on Lexington. If you want to venture to Yorktown, I love Turcos. Its a small supermarket with excellent produce, meats and fish. They make their own turkey breast in the cold cut section and have a great cheese selection. Sgaglio's in Katonah has excellent meats - prepare to pay for them though. Simple Italian food but always good - Nino's in Bedford Hills. Chappaqua Village Market is very good, but again, bring the big wallet. Bakeries - La Tulip or L'Anjou - both good French. Pastry Corner - eh. Changed owners and with the bad attitude, I won't go back. If I think of more I'll post again!
re: wincountrygirl
Rincon Santaneco is great for pupusas and the seafood soup. The Salvadoran and Mexican groceries next door and across the street (especially) are useful.
I'll also second Mt Kisco Seafood. It isn't cheap, but is 100% reliable and full service - they will clean, shuck, etc. for free. Very nice people.
I also like Lalibela for Ethiopian. It might not be the best in the world, but it is solid and provides a nice change of pace.
For wine, I have found nothing that can compete for price or selection with just ordering for delivery from the city, but Fountainhead in Bedford Hills does have a nice selection of things they direct import, so they at least provide variety.
Welcome to the neighborhood, kdgchow! A huge plus one for Rincon Santeneco for Salvadorian - their pupusas are delicious. Glad you've tried Little Kebab Station - it's my favorite Indian in the area. You can't go wrong with the other "Littles" - Little Crepe Street is awesome for brunch and Little Spice Bazar is a great place to grab a lassi. Gerardo's Pizzeria is very good (across from Friendly's) and has a good pasta special on Wed nights.
Go up 117 and you'll find Sammy's Kosher in Bedford. Great soups and overall good deli fare. Nearby are two great pizzerias - Gianfranco's and Sinapi's Pizza Rustica.
Hope these help!
re: kdgchow
Thought of a good bakery. Bee's cakes in armonk is very good and the Bedford Pastry Shop on next to the A & P.
I live in Ossining but frequent Mt. Kisco for shopping.
Bellizzi- like you said, good for kids, but the food is really pretty bad.
Thai Angel's- average Thai food, nice owners, kid friendly.
Little Kabob Station- decent value for lunch, but be warned that they do not heat the small eat-in area. We were informed on a chilly day after ordering that they do not heat the restaurant. It was freezing... I had been a few times before but I haven't gone back since because of that.
Chop't- the salad chain is a bit pricey but I like stopping here for a semi-healthy lunch while shopping.
Lefteris- not amazing but decent Greek food, definitely kid-friendly.
Pour- date night spot without the kids. Menu is limited but they have great wines by the glass and some nice snacks to accompany them.
Via Vanti- kid friendly, right in the train station, pretty good lunch food, a bit overpriced, but a nice lunch option. They have gelato too.
La Tulipe- a must-visit bakery. They have gelato in the summer too but the real draw is their breakfast pastries (croissants, beignets, etc.), their macarons, their handmade truffles, and their delicate buttery cookies. They make fancy cakes too though I haven't tried them. It looks like a hole in the wall but you've got to try it.
Mt. Kisco Smokehouse- very pricey but this is the real deal. Potentially long waits on weekends but this is worth the wait and the price.
Ditto on the Restaurant North recs in Armonk, and make sure you try Fortina too.
re: i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream
Tried Lefteris with my 2-year-old and was pleasantly surprised - it's much better than the original branch in Tarrytown, which stinks, IMO. It was also packed on an early Sunday evening, maybe the turnover helps.
Got some nova and sable from Mt. Kisco Smokehouse for a party we were hosting and while it was pricey, it was very good, especially the sable. And wherever they get their bagels from, they're good, better than the ones from Mount Kisco Bagel Co., which I thought were disappointing.
re: kdgchow
Glad you liked lefteris and the smokehouse. Bagels are a challenge in n. Westchester. We go to bagels on Hudson in croton. They're small but the texture is closest to an actual bagel that we have found. They sell lox from the smokehouse there.
re: i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream
Ice cream - where exactly is that bagel place? I go to Hi
ghland II on Central.
re: wincountrygirl
Bagels on Hudson is near the Chase bank on Route 9A. I only got bagels there once and didn't like them; they seemed "sweet" to me. But that was awhile ago. I go to the place on 202 in Yorktown.
re: DGresh
It's the closest bagel shop to us and I like that they have whole wheat everything. The texture isn't perfect but I haven't found them too sweet. What is the place you go to in Yorktown, DGresh? We are in a bagel wasteland here in Ossining. I haven't been in a while, but there's a decent place in Pleasantville by the train station.
My mom swears by Highland 2 but it's too far for me for a morning bagel run.
re: i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream
It's called the daily bagel. It's near Grandma's restaurant on that stretch that they have been doing construction on for ages now. Probably not too convenient for you in Ossining.
There is also a small place near Montrose Beer and Soda (something D'Or), but when I went there (admittedly under previous ownership I think) they only had bagels made somewhere else, only a few flavors, and NO LOX.
re: i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream
Highland is far for me too, but I work in White Plains and it's a 10 minute drive from there, so I'll go once in a while. Bagels in Westchester are just not great, so I take it where I can. They recently opened a Goldbergs in Katonah and the bagels are huge - don't care for them.
re: DGresh
I agree (I think the three of us have had this exact conversation before!), bagels on hudson is too sweet for my palate though I do like the texture and I like daily bagel too.
I_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream, maybe you've been eating too much ice cream :)
It's a hike from kisco but we drive to stew leonards once a month or so and they have decent bagels.
re: vinouspleasure
Too far for you, but Park Place Bagels in Bronxville (and called something else in Crescent Heights, but the same bagels) has the best bagels in Westchester that I found. Native New Yorker here-- I grew up on appetizing (and if you're not from NYC you may not know what that means!).
re: roxlet
re: roxlet
yeah, I stop at ess-a-bagel on fridays on my way to gct. A day old ess-a-bagel is better than anything I've found in this neck of the woods.
despite intermittent exposure to ess-a-bagel, david's and h&h, my kids don't know the difference between a good bagel and a piece of white bread shaped like a bagel. I can't help but feel I failed them in some sort of deep, cultural way.
Well, fwiw, after countless trips to flushing and nyc chinatown, they know good chinese from bad, so all is not lost...
re: vinouspleasure
Where is ess-a-bagel by GCT? I like Tal but they don't freeze well, H&H is a bust and I used to get Jumbo until they changed.
re: wincountrygirl
Tal used to be on the corner near the apartment we lived in when my son was a baby. Their bialys were fabulous as well. Now, THAT's something you absolutely can't find in Westchester!
re: roxlet
I'm almost afraid to recommend it, but my Brooklyn-born cousins had some bialys at their Yorktown Heights house that looked and tasted good. Not amazing, but good. They were a bit puffier than they should be (the bialys, not my cousins ;)), but the onions were spot on. They said they purchased them from the bagel place next to Apple Farms in White Plains. I don't know the name of it.
re: foodiemom10583
I'll check it out next time I'm up that way. I still remember the perfection of those Tal bagels on a spring morning at 6AM with my son, who was a early-rising baby. I'd stroller him over to Tal and pick one up. It was so good.
re: roxlet
Ahh, Tal Bagels! Yes there is nothing like them in Westchester. The best we have found is the bagel store in Quaker Ridge shopping center in New Rochelle. I realize that is quite far for you, but if you are headed down that way it is worth the detour. The bagels are good and they are often hot! It amazes me that locally the bagels are never hot! When did they make them???
re: debmom
That bagel store is near a synagogue, and in a fairly Jewish neighborhood. I've been meaning to try it. How are their bialys?
re: roxlet
They are ok, not like my favorites from the good ol' days!
re: debmom
re: debmom
I stopped there today, and I think that the bagels are pretty decent, as was the bialy I tried. These bagels were hot out of the oven, and when I opened the plastic bag that they had been in, the steam caused the paper bag to spill open. These bagels are far more heavily seeded that the ones at Park Place. I'll have to get a read from the bagel eaters in the house.
re: roxlet
They put hot bagels in a plastic bag? Good grief. Bye bye crust.
re: wincountrygirl
They were in a paper bag inside the plastic bag, and the paper bag just broke apart when I took them out. The bag was soaked.
re: wincountrygirl
I have a client at 45th and 3rd so I walk up to 51st. it's a 10-12 minute walk back to gct.
re: vinouspleasure
Thanks. I'll have to give it a try next time I'm in town.
re: vinouspleasure
Haha!! You know, all the times I think I've ever had them I've had them with lox. I can't ever recall having a plain one or with just cream cheese. So maybe the saltiness of the lox offsets the sweetness? I'm getting bagels from their for mother's day so I'll have to have a non-loxed bagel taste test. :-)
re: i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream
and I'll taste test the bagels with lox! we can compare notes here post-mother's day, enjoy the day (and the bagel)!
re: kdgchow
Oh, I agree with you 100% on the Lefteris in Tarrytown being bad. Really, really terrible. I met a friend there for lunch the week before last, and ordered a Greek salad and a chicken stick. The salad dressing was disgustingly sweet. I conldn't eat it, and the only thing that made the chicken edible was the very mediocre tzatziki, which I had to ask for. i
re: kdgchow
I think they get their bagels from the place across the street from Shop Rite in Bedford Hills.
re: wincountrygirl
Is that Bedford Bagel & Bakery? Will have to buy some there and confirm.
re: kdgchow
Yes - at least when I asked a couple of years ago that's where they were getting them.
re: i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream
BTW, I'm assuming it's pretty much a lost cause for good Chinese food around here? Back when I lived in White Plains, at least I had Imperial Wok and Aberdeen nearby.
re: kdgchow
There was a good place in Thornwood in the Rose Hill Shopping Center and they deliver to Mt. Kisco - Hunan Ritz. But, I have not had their food in a long time since I moved up to Goldens Bridge, so I'm not sure it's still good.
re: wincountrygirl
Hunan Ritz went downhill for a while and then closed. It's been replaced by an Asian fusion place called Asian Wave. It has a limited number of Chinese dishes but the ones (General Tso's chicken and beef in Szechuan sauce) that I have tried were decent American-Chinese renditions.
For regular Chinese take out, I like Asian Gourmet in Thornwood (behind Walgreen's). They do a very good job with the simpler dishes, like chicken w/ string beans. They use good ingredients and don't use as much oil as other nearby places.
re: kdgchow
your best bet is still aberdeen and imperial wok for szechuan. I take out from szechuan gourmet once a month as it's about 10 mins from gct. even lukewarm, it's miles better than anything close to home.
re: kdgchow
Anyone try Rice in Armonk? They bill themselves as serving authentic Cantonese food and are constantly offering coupons, but I'm a bit skeptical. How do they compare to, say, Aberdeen in White Plains?
re: kdgchow
FYI, I like Central Seafood better than Aberdeen. Never been to Rice.
re: kdgchow
I've been to Rice twice and really like it. Everything we've had has been excellent and the space is lovely (although it's located in the strangest strip mall I've ever seen). I'm not the person to judge "authentic Catonese," buts it's darn tasty food.
re: kdgchow
Hum, their website talks all about "innovative pan Asian" and there is virtually nothing close to a Cantonese dish on the online menu. Maybe the winter melon soup.
re: tazerowe
Yes, the food is more reinterpretive of traditional Chinese, not traditional takes. Delicious food in a nice setting.
I like salsa fresco - sort of a chipotle clone but i still like it for what it is -americanized mexican, la tulipe (bakery) is excellent but pricey, and totally off the subject you have a very good, but pricey high end audio in mt. kisco-accent on music- if you are interested.
For Thai, I like Mana Thai, which is next door to Petco (which used to be CVS), same shopping center as Staples. It's a very small place. Have not been there in a while, but it was good when we ate there. My biggest complaint: no lunch specials, so I don't stop there to pick up lunch when I'm in the area.
re: MisterBill2
They totally have a lunch special at Mana Thai!!
Wanted to keep this thread going with an update.
Tried Bedford Bagel and Bakery on Sunday. Pretty good, their bagels definitely look and taste more like bagels than the inner tubes that masquerade as bagels at most other places.
Gerardo's is the best pizza I've tried in Mount Kisco so far.The regular slices are solid and the grandma slices are very good. How's the rest of the menu - pastas, heros, etc.? Basilico on Lexington Avenue was eh, on the level of Bellizzi. I was also a little disappointed with Via Vanti, definitely more flatbread than pizza, and pricey. How is their non-pizza fare?
Turco's in Yorktown is very good, I usually rotate my shopping between them and DeCicco's in Armonk, depending on who has the better sales.
My wife liked Mt. Kisco Wines and Spirits in the A&P Plaza, said it reminded her of Vino 100 in White Plains, only larger.
Also tried Salsa Fresca - the one in Yorktown Heights - definitely a Chipotle clone. It's ok, but for that type of food, I'd rather go to Tijuana in downtown MK.
Little Crepe Street is fast becoming a semi-regular weekend brunch spot. And I have to say that for a diner, the recently-remodeled Mount Kisco Coach Diner is pretty damn good.
re: kdgchow
Thanks for the feedback!!!! I am a Turco's fan!
re: kdgchow
great stuff! Dodd's liquor city in millwood is about 10 minutes from mt kisco. they often have ads in the pennysaver and if you buy off of those sales, you can do very well. the rest of the stuff can be overpriced. when you're there you may want to stop at local legend, rocky's, for a sandwich.
re: kdgchow
Oh, and if you're a beer nut and haven't checked out the DeCicco's in Armonk yet, run, don't walk. Fantastic selection on two floors, plus a beer bar that fills growlers, at extremely reasonable prices, IMO. I went to a Brooklyn Brewery tasting there a couple of weeks ago and it was terrific.
re: kdgchow
Salsa Fresca has benefited from Chipotle's decision to ignore Northern Westchester (a common theme).They've opened a place in Mamaroneck, which has a Chipotle nearby in Rye Brook. I wonder if they'll do as well.
re: kdgchow
Another update...
Tried Rocky's Deli in Millwood, got the Untouchable (chicken cutlet, grilled proscuitto, fresh mozzarella). Pretty good, but didn't blow me away. Some of the other sandwiches look interesting, any must-gets? It looks like if you don't get something with chicken, it's pretty much just Boar's Head all the way, which doesn't interest me as much.
The best sandwich I've gotten around here so far was the porchetta and broccoli rabe hero at A&S at the Route 117/128 intersection. Very tasty, and a lot of their other sandwiches look good as well.
Tried a slice at Gianfranco's in Bedford Hills, pretty mediocre. However, the slices at Mario's (at the MK Metro-North train station) were very good. Best tasting crust out of all the slice joints in the area, if it was just a little less saggy, it would be perfect. They also have Foxon Park sodas, a New Haven pizzeria staple! Saw they had a clam pie on their menu, any chance it could rival the one at Pepe's? One can hope...
re: kdgchow
I've been meaning to try Mario's. Heard it's very good.
re: wincountrygirl
He's very good!
re: DWeiss
Got to try it. I have heard that from a few people with similar food tastes to my own.
re: kdgchow
A must-get sandwich at Rocky's is a Chip-Chip - turkey, avocado, pepperjack cheese, bacon, and chipotle mayo. Get it on ciabatta if they have it. :)
Mario's is my favorite in the area. I haven't tried the clam pie yet, but it's on my list. Next time you're in Bedford Hill's, try Sinapi's Pizza Rustica - I think it's a definite cut above Gianfranco's .
re: Sra. Swanky
We had pizza at Sinapi's a while back when they had a Groupon-like offer and thought it was really good. They're not easy to find, on the side street across from Kohl's.
Unless I missed it, no one mentioned Lalibela Ethiopian in Mt Kisco, which is fabulous. Also Neo World Bistro is good for Asian fusion, and I think Via Vanti is quite good for dinner--I love the lamb burger and they have a nice array of dishes. I also second Mana Thai in the dead strip mall on 117.
In Yorktown Heights, Jewel of Himalaya is excellent and if you want red sauce Italian Don Tomasso's is good (especially the seafood posillipo).
For shopping, Mrs Green's Mt Kisco, Meadow's in Yorktown Heights, and the food stand or pick your own at Hilltop Hanover Farm in Yorktown Heights. It's a drive for you, but Hemlock Hill Farm on the Cortland/Yorktown border has great meat and poultry and eggs.
re: dma1250
I've always wondered about NEO. Haven't heard much about it lately. Not a Mrs. Greens fan but want to do the Hilltop thing!
re: wincountrygirl
NEO is very good. I haven't seen them on Groupon lately. My only complaint about them is that they charged me for green tea the last time I ordered it, which bothered me. It wasn't clear if they charged everyone for it, or just got me because I used a Groupon (the danger of giving them the certificate before you see the check). My solution is not to order green tea when I go there. The owner's previous restaurant in Thornwood, Ace, did that, but in that case it was on the menu (but I missed it the first time, since they didn't do it originally)).
re: MisterBill2
Re charge for green tea. You only live life once. Go ahead and splurge for the green tea
re: docooker
Not important enough to my meal to bother paying for.
re: MisterBill2
Curious as to what the charge might be.
re: roxlet
I think it was $2 each. But the issue was the surprise charge on my bill.
re: dma1250
+1 for Lalibela.
I grew up in Chappaqua and came back from NYC when my family outgrew our apartment with 2 kids. Marcella's has the best pizza hands down. Love Le Marqueta market nearby too. Pastry Corner is not new owners. The dad died, very sad, kids took it over. Give them a break. Cakes are fantastic. But La Tulipe is the best. For empanadas go to Chapiness near Ben & Jerrys. King Kone for best ice cream, it's near Muscoot, like a DQ. Muscoot farmers market on Sundays are great. New place called Outpost in Bedford sells all organic, local and NO GMO stuff. La Camelia is a fantastic restaurant. I hate NEO, like Hito or Oishi better. No good Chinese, but best of worst is Great Wall across from Friendlys. Mana Thai has a tiny menu, but awesome authentic food, cooked in front of you. Love Myong for lunch salads and wraps. Service is terrible for dinner. Modern Barn in Amonk is great. Blue Hill and Inn at Pound Ridge for special occasions. Don't like Bedford Post, terrible service and tiny portions for $300. Little House, eat in Tap Room. Or outside garden. Great wine list. Doffs for best value wine. Love Fountainhead too. I am sure I am forgetting much, like great home made pasta at Katonah Pasta and great bagels in Katonah at Goldbergs. New bagel place opening in Kisco by Sinapis people. Don't go anywhere for seafood besides Mt KISCO Seafood. And the Smokehouse is amazing. That's it for now!
re: wincountrygirl
Yes, but I have (I hope not disproportionate!) VERY high hopes for a Michael White resto.
Another update:
Had a couple of pupusas at Rincon Santaneco and they were made to order and very good. Anything else on the menu worth trying? I saw few tables with tamales on them.
Tried a plain slice at Marcella's Pizza on Main Street - eh. Best slices I've found in MK so far are Gerardo's and Mario's.
Also tried some tacos al pastor at Maya, which is next to Little Kabab Station. The pork was pretty good, but no pineapple. Also, I'm trying to figure out if the place is truly Mexican - they're advertising things like churrasco and bandeja paisa.
It looks like the deli next door, American Latino Cafe, has a sit-down area, anyone ever been? And FWIW, what's the best taco in MK?
re: kdgchow
Also ,on lexington ave. is Henry's- my guess is the name is a carry-over from the past, it is mostly latino food and very good (reasonable prices). Haven't been there for awhile, but the local Latinos seem to show up there so they must be doing something right
re: kdgchow
Re Rincon Santaneco, the tamales are interesting, quite large with a whole chicken drumstick (bone and all) plus veggies in masa and banana leaf. Sometimes the masa is a bit too loose for my taste, but it is a solid go-to option. We also get the seafood soup. It is a massive bowl with a rich broth and tons of seafood. Shrimp, squid, crab and whole fish. Very messy but nice.
I'd like to mention Table Local Market
11 Babbitt Road
Bedford Hills, NY 10507
Grass-fed, organic, locally and humanely raised meats, local eggs, cheese & organic produce
Yet another update:
Tried Sinapi's Pizza in Bedford Hills. Solid plain slice, and a few of their specialty slices - nonna, upside down margherita and bruschetta - were very good. Will definitely be in the regular pizza rotation.
Also tried the gelato at La Tulipe in MK...wow. Some of the best chocolate gelato I've ever had, and the espresso gelato was pretty terrific as well. It's not cheap - $5.25 gets you a small cup - but you can't knock the quality. Also tried a couple of macarons - I'm no expert, but I thought they were excellent.
re: kdgchow
Glad you enjoyed. I frequent both Sinapi's and La Tulipe (glad to hear they still have gelato. They usually stop serving it around this time, but it's nice they adjusted to the mild weather) - both places are solid.
Sinapi's also has a good bakery in Pleasantville on Wheeler Ave that recently opened.
re: Sra. Swanky
Sinapi's is also opening a bagel place in Mt Kisco across from Pastry Corner near where Mango cafe was, by the SCUBA store. Memes in Bedford Hills has great gelatin too. But I LOVE La Tulip everything.
re: Sra. Swanky
la tulipe has the best croissant in the county, or at least the best I've had in the county.
re: vinouspleasure
I agree. I have had the croissant at L'Anjou and it pales in comparison.

1994 Chevy Blazer won't start
I have a 1994 Blazer with the Vortec engine which ran fine all day Saturday on the mail route and right up until I shut it down. I got in to drive it on Sunday and it turned over fine, the electric fuel pump is working, but it won't fire (no spark at the coil or plugs). It seems to me that the cause is more likely the module than the coil, but is there any way I can tell for sure without any testing equipment?
I understand I can take the module in and have it tested by an Auto Parts place, but I'm not sure where it's located on the motor.
Any help would be great! I've had to drive my stand-by vehicle and really would like to get this back on the road soon.
The coil usually goes bad before the ignition module.
Real trucks don't have spark plugs!
i found more ignition modules go bad then coils.
If I were you I would take off the distributor cap and see if shaft is turning before you did anything else. You could also check if there are 12v at coil terminal. You said you don't want to test anything, so I would check the distributor first. It is a very easy thing to do, and will pinpoint the problem.
This should solve the problem...The most common tip-off to coil deterioration is difficult, unreliable starting. To test the coil, remove the ignition cable that connects the coil to the distributor at the distributor terminal. Hold the end of the cable about 3/16 in. away from a grounded component and crank over the engine. A bright blue spark should jump the gap. If the spark is weak and yellow (and the points, condenser and battery are in good shape), the coil is producing weak spark voltage. First, do this one morning when your engine is cold. Then recheck the coil the same way when the engine (coil) is very hot, like after a hard trip. Remember, a coil, like any other metal component, expands with heat and the windings may be making contact when the coil is expanded but not when cold, or vice versa. If there is no spark at all, but the headlights go on and the motor cranks over, then the problem must be either: (a) key switch not making contact to ignition wire; (b) ballast resistor or wires to and from key have opencircuited; (c) coil is now history; or (d) the switching mechanism (points or amplifier) malfunctioned.
To determine which part is defective, look at "The Basic Wiring Diagram of Virtually All OEM Ignitions."
Step 1: Put a test light between point A (+ coil terminal) and ground. The light should go on and off when the key goes on and off. If it does go on, proceed to Step 2. If it doesn't, try this. Take a jumper wire from the + battery to the + coil terminal. Now have a friend crank the engine over while you hold the high voltage coil wire (point C) about 3/16 in. from ground. If you get a spark with the jumper wire on, then plug the high voltage coil wire back into the distributor and the motor probably will start. If it does, the problem is probably, first: (a) burned-out ballast resistor; (b) bad or broken connection (usually as the wire passes through the firewall); (c) bad contact at the key; or (d) broken or cut wire (in the middle of the wire, as opposed to (b), which is a bad connection at the end).
Step 2: Move the test light to voltage point B; that is, negative coil terminal, and ground. Have a friend crank the motor over. The light should blink on and off, or at least waiver as the points or amplifier open and close.
1. If the light does not go on at all, either the coil primary is open-circuited (remember, there was voltage on the (+) coil terminal), or there is a short circuit in the points/ amplifier or the wires going from the (-) coil terminal to the points/amplifier.
To determine which, if the light did not go on, disconnect the wires on the negative coil terminal and reconnect the test light to this negative terminal. If the light goes on, there was a short in the points/amplifier or wires to the amplifier/points, and the coil is probably okay.
2. if, on the other hand, the light stays on, without blinking on and off, then the problem is probably not in the coil but rather there is an open circuit in the points/amplifier or the wires leading from the negative coil terminal to the points/amplifier.
3. If the light does blink on and off, but you only get a little wimpy spark, or no spark at all, then the problem is in the coil secondary. If you have an ohmmeter, put it between the coil high voltage output and the negative coil terminal. You would expect to see between 1,000 and 15,000 ohms. The higher the quality coil, the lower the resistance.
However, if the test light blinks and you only have a weak or no spark, change the coil and see if the engine runs better. Never forget that coils have many modes of failure, not all of which are easy to spot.
Oh, and the ignition module is off of a terminal on the coil. It should be between the distributor and coil in simple terms.
One More Possibility???
I appreciate the answers so far. While I was waiting for a reply, I looked at the coil in my spare mail vehicle and it was the same, so I swapped the coil from the '94 into it and it fired right up (I did it that way because the braket in my older truck was harder to remove). Therefore, I take it the coil is at least good enough that it is not waht is preventing start-up.
I also went ahead and took the ignition module to two different auto parts stores and they each tested it three times to get it hot and see if it would fail then (though I didn't think that would prevent initial start-up cold). It passed all 6 tests.
I am wondering now if the likely source of trouble is the 'pick-up coil' (which I didn't know existed)?
It seems I need to pull the ditributor to replace it and I was told ther is no way most auto parts stores can test these.
Also, where is the ballast resister. This might be an easy replace??
What say you all?
Thanks again
Last edited by Mailguy; 02-07-2006 at 05:19 PM. Reason: Additional info
The ballast resistor is off of the positive coil terminal.
As I said before...I would check the distributor yourself just by and looking at it.
One thing you should try and this will be easy being you have another truck, swap the coil wire that runs from the coil to the distributor cap. Otherwise, yeah your going have to replace the other parts mentioned earlier.
Real trucks don't have spark plugs!
One thing I did have had trouble with one of my s-10's was on the firewall there's a little power strip with two bolts that usually has two to three red wires. That run to it. It's above the passenger side valve cover. The problem was there was no power to this spot. I knew it was always live there even without the key was off, it was live because there's a direct connection from that to the alternator, which you can also trace back to the battery. So one day I did test it. And found out there was no power. So what I had to do was run a new wire from the alternator to the firewall power strip and bolt it on. The truck would turn over. But it wouldn't start and there was no spark like what you have. And after adding that wire it ran fine after that. So test to see you have power at them two bolts on that tiny power strip.
Real trucks don't have spark plugs!

NAPLES, Fla.- Seven students from Community School of Naples are in D.C. today, witnessing the Presidential Inauguration. They left on Saturday and so far, they've had a full weekend, touring the city and also celebrating the inauguration.
We first met the students and their professor on Friday. The seven seniors are all classmates in an Advanced Placement government class, and they have been preparing for the trip since last April.
Their teacher, Mike Mansfield, also took a group of students to President Obama's first inauguration four years ago.
This year, they stopped by Madame Tussauds wax museum. They also were among the masses viewing Pennsylvania Avenue, where the President lives.
The students were all very excited for the chance to be in D.C. this holiday weekend. We hope to speak with the students this afternoon and also get more photos from their trip.
They fly back to Naples tomorrow.

Chevrolet has stepped up to the NASCAR Nationwide Series plate with a racer that not only isn't an Impala, it isn't bad on the eyes. The junior series to the Sprint Cup big dogs had made concessions to allow cars that look more like their production counterparts. While some disagree, the cars still have nothing to do with their production counterparts, but hey, that's NASCAR. The new rules induced Ford to hop in with a Mustang, while Dodge opted to go with a Challenger. Chevy, on the other hand, stuck with its Impala.
No more: welcome the new Camaro to the NASCAR Nationwide Series. No, it won't be that much different than its Mustang, Challenger and Camry competition underneath its blue, blue skin, but from this angle that's all right. If they could run it just like this, with no sponsor stickers to get in the way, well, we think that would be epic.
Chevrolet will begin racing the Camaro next season, while the Impala will also be replaced in the Sprint Cup series when the new Chevrolet SS NASCAR racer makes it debut at the Daytona 500 next year.

Haunted Woods & Campfire
Date(s): 10/25/2013, 10/26/2013, 10/31/2013
October 25, 26 31 from 4:00PM-9:00PM.
Woodlawn Nature Center Elkhart, IN
Guided tours along The Scarecrow's Way, part of Woodlawn Nature Center's Haunted Trail, will be conducted be free of charge but tickets will be required. Just as seating is limited in a theater, there is a limited number of people that can be taken through the tours. Tickets will be available at the door as they last but can also be picked up at the Center Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from noon to 5.
Woodlawn Nature Center will be giving guided tours through their haunted woods and providing other family oriented activities from 4PM to 9 PM on Friday October 25, Saturday October 26 and, of course, Halloween night, Thursday October 31.
Three other premium trails and other attractions will be available those nights as a fundraising effort to replace the Center's 50 year old floor. Rates are scaled to be family friendly with special packages and discounts for members of Woodlawn Nature Center.
The annual festivities have been growing both in scope and popularity over the years partly because their offerings range from mild to wild to fit different ages and temperaments. This year this includes a campfire with songs, stories and marshmallows where nothing scary is allowed. Around the campfire, short-term child care is provided for the more mature (or fool hardy) who want to experience the more frightening aspects of the deeper, darker woods.
Each tour through the woods will be lead by a guide past staged scares and scenery. This year's theme is Grimm's Haunting, featuring characters from Grimm's fairy tales.
There will also be attractions and refreshments offered inside the Center. The cave (normally home to dinosaurs) will feature bats and spiders. It will also have special treats buried in the cave's sandboxes for the kids to discover (and take home). Snakes and nocturnal creatures will be themed throughout the museum with some of the more interesting though less creepy side of their story being told.

Icicles Lyrics - Punchline
You are an icicle (you are an icicle, warmth of the season can't melt)
You are an icicle (you are an icicle, coldest that I've ever felt)
And I know, how it feels, to be facing the frost on your own
This is the last time(this is the last time)
I let the winter have it's way with me
Frostbite, you are an icicle, as cold as an icicle
Frostbite, you are an icicle
And I know, how it feels, to be spending a Christmas alone
The presents you bought still remain in the closet, wrapped up in boxes at home
For some strange reason, thought this was the season, I'm working on a naughty list.
I know that these chills, are all just because of the air
This is my last time (this is my last time) by New Year's Eve, I'll forget a year.
So far I haven't got anything I wanted.
Left you a gift at your door, you won't see me anymore.

(December 2011) Responding to Contributing Editor John Bewick's analysis of factors impeding the nuclear renaissance in the wake of the Fukushima disaster. Plus comments about construction...
Face-Off: The Nuclear Non-Starter
push the nuclear power advocates on this issue." Furthermore, von Hippel says the environmental movement has been counterproductive by focusing attention on radioactive waste disposal instead of the more serious proliferation threat.
The magnitude of this threat is difficult to estimate. In principle, expanding nuclear power globally could increase risks by disseminating technology and materials that could be diverted for nefarious purposes. But in practical terms, a commercial power plant is not a very logical platform for building nuclear weapons.
"There is no such thing as a proliferation-proof reactor," Vine says. "In the hands of someone dedicated to using materials in the wrong way, you could process nuclear fuel to make a bomb, although there are much easier ways. There is no reactor design that would totally prevent it. What is needed is safeguards to prevent it, and that's why the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is involved."
As recent experience in North Korea demonstrates, however, IAEA involvement will not prevent peaceful nuclear power plants from being used to fabricate materials for weapons. "There is a clear connection between nuclear energy and nuclear weapons, and what the United States does sets the stage overseas," Macfarlane says. "The industry has to try harder on this issue."
Nuclear Standoff
Given the array of issues it faces, the nuclear industry will be hard pressed to muster a significant renaissance any time soon. In order for nuclear power to emerge as the economic winner for new construction, three major developments must occur:
- carbon taxes that make fossil-fired plants less competitive must be instituted;
- capital costs must fall by 25 percent or more; and
- natural gas prices must rise dramatically and permanently.
When the uncertainty of such developments is combined with the real political and security issues regarding waste disposal and proliferation, a nuclear renaissance in the United States seems improbable.
As Dominion's Capps said, "It is too much risk. It is not economical. You would have billions of dollars out there for years, not earning a return, and that is just not good."

Montana Seeks More Aggressive Wolf Hunting
Even as Wyoming's wolf management policies are under fire in the courts again, a bill that would prevent the closure of wolf hunt areas near Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks before the quota is reached, allow multiple wolf licenses and generally expand wolf hunting in Montana has been unanimously approved in the Montana House of Representatives and now moves on to the Montana Senate for consideration there. The bill would allow hunters to purchase more than one wolf tag and use electronic calls to lure the animals. It also reduces the price of a nonresident wolf license from $350 to $50. Montana Representative Franke Wilmer of Bozeman defended the bill as being scientifically sound. She said it is necessary for the state to mitigate the effects of what has been by all accounts a very successful recovery program with an estimated 650 animals in the state. Wilmer says, "By federal standards, which set a very low floor of 150 we're good: by biologists account, about 450 will sustain a biologically diverse genetic pool in the population, so we are still over that." The bill will become effective upon passage.
