Help me choose
- misnatalie Jul 27, 2008 12:35 PM
Hello, my husband and I will be staying in the French Quarter at the end of October. I need help deciding dinner for 2 of the nights. I would like at least one of the two dinners to be a tasting menu. I have narrowed it down to the following:
K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen, Cochon, Bon Ton Café, August, and Antoine's.. Any advice or suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.
i had two great meals last year at cochon & restaurant august. i didn't eat at them this year(tho i did eat at chef link's other restaurant herbsaint), i was trying out other spots but i can say that something as simple as the BUTTER at restaurant august left us slackjawed(it's churned fresh every day). i had their tasting menu w/matching wines & it was terrific & thoughtful(i wrote about this last year...it's here somewhere i suspect). as for cochon, my vegetarian dinner partner had her favorite meal there which is incredible when you think about what the place is dedicated to(pig). but they cover all the bases & the vegetarian selections were(as in most really good southern cooking)excellent & tasty.
have fun.
You've got a wide variety listed. August is by far the most creative and forward thinking of the bunch. Skip Antoine's for sure. Bon Ton is comfort food. K-Paul's is cajun, and cochon is a new take on cajun. Long story short, August is the best on your list. In fact, August is probably the only one on the list that actually has a tasting menu.
With the benefit of other posts to your's, I would recommend Restaurant August and Stella! Antoine's is, unfortunately, a shell of its former self. You might hit it right, but my bet would be NO. Bon Ton is great, but I'd hold it over for lunch. Cochon is also great, but more for lunch, given your schedule. Have not dined with Chef Paul, in too many years, but he's been getting a lot of good recs. Cannot comment on K-Paul's now.
re: Bill Hunt
I wrote out a response and realized Bill had already said the same thing. So, what he said! I would suggest the oysters alvin from Bon Ton if you do go there for lunch. Mmmmmm...
re: TigerAtty
Oysters Alvin. It's been many years, since we dined at Bon Ton, but I do not remember this dish - maybe newish, or maybe just the grey matter not functioning any more. I'll check it out. Wife has been talking about going back to Bon Ton, and I agree with her.
Heck, I need a month in NOLA, just to catch up on the cuisine. This bit about doing 3 old favs., and adding 2 new spots, is just not cutting it.
Thanks for the rec.
I had a great meal at K-Paul's a couple of months ago, when the weather was still nice. We had a table out on the balcony, overlooking the courthouse. It was great. In October, it just might be cool enough to sit outside, it's a great place to dine and people watch! The Jazz Band that plays downstairs outside, is nice to listen to during dinner.
From your nominees, I would definitely go with Restaurant August and K-Paul's (had dinner at both last week and they were blissful). If your requisite is a tasting menu, in the same areas and food genres, keep August and check out Cuvee or Stella!
October is a sublime time in New Orleans. Have a spectacular time!
Well looks like August for sure, still on the fence about the second dinner. The last time I was in the French quarter I was a vegetarian and missed out on a lot of the great cuisine. I don't want that to happen this time. Also, if I wanted cold raw oysters for lunch would Acme be a good place to go?
re: misnatalie
For the half-shell oysters, it seems that this board is split about 55% Acme and 45% Felix's - just like my own family. I'm in the Felix's camp, but I think that Acme gets the nod, by a whisker (oyster whisker?).
re: Bill Hunt
mr hunt, i was just there in that gorgeous city of my dreams & had oysters at both places & then had the presence of mind to go in the bourbon house(right there where acme & felix's are). i have to say that THEY had the best oysters. & i did a test(sacrificing my poor self to the chowhound ethic)& ate oysters at each of these 3 places 3 times. bourbon house won out every time. they were plumper w/more delicious oyster liquer than the other two. & the oyster master had the good sense to mix sizes also. i was flabbergasted. i've been eating at acme for 40 years. i wrote it off to the time of the season(i was NOT there during peak oyster months)but i had an old buddy who worked in my restaurant way back when & now works as the breakfast & lunch chef at 7on fulton(& obviously lives there in n.o.) tell me that bourbon house consistently gets better oysters than acme & felix's. now, in my food world mythology, ella brennan parted the mississippi river & walked across & the brennan's can do NO wrong(i'm well aware of their history & do know they CAN do wrong...just going for some hyperbole here)but i think they've got a superior supplier(due to post-katrina circumstances, no doubt...).
i acknowledge that there is no better experience than standing at the oyster bar at acme & receiving freshly shucked-as-you-go oysters.
anyway, next time you're there try out the bourbon house oysters.
re: bataille2
That is good to know. Do not ever recall dining at the Bourbon House, but might have fogotten.
Thanks for "taking one for the team!"
Appreciate your perspective and review, as this question comes up often, in one form, or another. Others should benefit from your research.
I see you only have two nights, so you may want to stay as close to NOLA cuisine as possible, but I truly was in heaven at Lilette... the atmosphere is sweet... romantic, yet modern... the food was absolutely to die for, (i will spend as much time as needed to duplicate their raw salad...) and the prices were decent considering the thought, feel, and taste of every bite... you can see their menu online- although there were specials and a few differences from when looked at it and made reservations about a week ago. Would also be a great place just to go for a cocktail (cucumber martini was excellent and my boyfriend loved their Ward 8) and a small bite... they also serve lunch. Wherever you choose, have a blast!!! I can't wait to go back!!!
I'll be the contrarian in at least one respect. I was at Antoine's for Sunday brunch, and the meal could not have been more special. Perfectly mixed Sazerac, devine souffle potatoes, sublime crabmeat ravigote, and the best trout almadine I have had in years. Add to that the impeccable service and beautiful surroundings, not to mentioned a wonderful jazz trio, and you have a great a dining experience that is both uniquely New Orleans and distinctly Parisian (e.g. Benoit or Bofinger). As much as I like the other choices (apart from Cochon), the experience wouldn't be the same. I also find, as a general matter, those who disparage Antoine's haven't been there in some time. The place is making a concerted effort to modernize without losing its old-world charm, as Galatoire's did some time ago (to some criticism, I might add), and I think locals and tourists are missing out on a wonderful experience by chalking her up to a bygone era. I go there at least twice a month and will sing here praises until proven otherwise.
re: pilaf
That is great to hear. I have always wished the best for this "old girl," but my last (just pre-K) trip was very disappointing, on all accounts. I have seen a few post-K specials, featuring Antoine's, and they seem to indicate that they are on a rebound. Let's all hope so.
Thank you for your review. Maybe the time has come to give them one more try, an keep any preconceptions to myself. Do not have the dining schedule yet, for October, but will definitely consider them.
Glad that you have taken up the standard for one of the Grand Dames. I just hope that they do deserve your accolades. Let's hope that they do turn it around, or maybe have already done so. I'd not like them to "modernize," so much as go deeply to their NOLA roots and do everything right.
Also, I still miss the gentlemen being required to wear jackets and ties, but I harken to a much earlier time.

The 'Slenderman' Debate and What Parents Need to Know
"Unmonitored and unrestricted access to the Internet by children is a growing and alarming problem,"the Police Chief said. Reports suggest the kids were exposed to unrestricted content on school-issued iPads outside of school. This has sparked a raging debate, as you can see here, here, and here, on who is really to blame, and whether there are deeper issues at play.
For parents, and schools, this is not an academic debate any more. James Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, and one of the saner voices in this debate, suggests that you take the time to learn what they are interested in and "share your opinions so as to help your kids develop the ability to view media critically." Essentially, engage, be connected, and stay involved in their online lives.

Five Internet Safety Myths to 'Not' Worry About
Caroline Knorr from Common Sense Media has compiled a very useful list of myths (and truths).
- Social media turns kids into cyberbullies.
- Teaching kids not to talk to strangers is the best way to keep them safe online.
- Kids act worse online.
- It's dangerous to post pictures of your kids online.
- Parental controls are the best way to monitor my kids' online activities.
For the truths, read full article here. That last one is a surprise coming from us. After all, Mobicip offers one of the most popular parental controls for smartphones, tablets and laptops. In Caroline's words, "By all means, use parental controls to help prevent exposure to age-inappropriate material and to manage time limits. But don't think they get you off the hook. Continue to discuss responsible, respectful online behavior, set rules and consequences for misbehavior, and train your kid to manage his or her own usage." We agree!

What Parents can Learn from Apple's Guide for Teachers
The App Store and the Google Play store have hundreds of thousands of apps, many of them with great educational value. It is no mean task to identify the right apps for students. Apple has published an official guide to help teachers, titled "Apps in the Classroom - Using iOS Apps for Teaching and Learning".
If you're just getting started teaching with apps, it's helpful to begin by setting goals for student learning. What must students understand? What should their interaction with apps look like? And which apps would work best for your specific lesson plans? You may find that choosing an app is easier after carefully considering what you want students to do with it, and why.
- Engagement - Is the app intuitive, keep your kids interested, and makes them want to use it again?
- Appropriateness - Does the user interface, design and subject matter appeal to your child's age level?
- Instructional Design - Is the app aligned with what you want your kids to learn from it, and is it effective in achieving its goal?
- Motivation - Are gaming principles used in the app, and does the app balance the gaming aspect enough to help prevent distractions?
- Accessibility - Does the app accommodate special needs that your kids might have?
Pretty straightforward? Well, the next step is to use these principles to uncover the hidden gems among educational apps. We followed these very principles to come up with our own list of apps that will engage kids enough to let them play and learn at the same time. See the list in this article - Top 10 Apps for Kids to Play & Learn. The guide concludes:
It's an exciting time of innovation in learning. We're seeing apps that provide engaging, Multi-Touch, rich experiences that were never before possible. Have fun exploring the amazing world of education apps.

Do Mobile Devices Affect Kids' Health?
Not only is the usage of mobile devices at an all-time high among adults, but it also is among children today. It is estimated that nearly half of all children in developed countries own a smartphone. Even more have access to a tablet or other mobile device in the household. K-12 schools around the world are issuing mobile devices of all kinds to students for personalized and project-based learning. What this means is that all of us are constantly exposed to the radio frequency fields around these devices. The health effects of such sustained and repeated exposure is still being studied, with mixed results.
The World Health Organization has published an online Q&A on this topic. Research has focused on four areas - cancer, other health effects, electromagnetic interference, and traffic accidents. While RF fields have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), studies so far have not supported the hypothesis. As for other health effects, there is some evidence that mobile device usage can affect brain activity, reaction times, and sleep patterns. Another study, The Stewart Report, concluded that children may be more vulnerable because of their developing nervous system, the greater absorption of energy in the tissues of the head, and a longer lifetime of exposure. The WHO Q&A concludes:
While an increased risk of brain tumours from the use of mobile phones is not established, the increasing use of mobile phones and the lack of data for mobile phone use over time periods longer than 15 years warrant further research of mobile phone use and brain cancer risk. In particular, with the recent popularity of mobile phone use among younger people, and therefore a potentially longer lifetime of exposure, WHO has promoted further research on this group and is currently assessing the health impact of RF fields on all studied endpoints.
A recent study - Study of Cognition, Adolescents and Mobile Phones (SCAMP) - commissioned by the Department of Health in the UK is attempting to do exactly that.
SCAMP is a cohort study which will follow a group of approximately 2,500-3,000 secondary school pupils within Greater London from year 7 through to year 9. The aim of this study is to investigate whether children's use of mobile phones and/or other technologies that use radio waves e.g. portable landline phones and wireless internet, might affect their cognitive or behavioural development e.g. language comprehension, attention, memory.
This will be the largest study in the world to date to address this important research question. Mobile devices are increasingly part of our children's everyday lives. Let us hope that this study reaches its goal of providing "targeted advice to parents and children as appropriate". Visit the SCAMP website to learn more.
Reading in the Age of the Tablet
A recent research brief by Common Sense Media shows that the preference for print books is not only going down, but ebooks actually contribute to an increase in reading. However, parental concerns around electronic reading remain. As Kathryn Zickhur from the Pew Research Center says:
"If a kid is looking at a book, you can assume he or she is reading. But when it comes to looking at a smartphone or tablet, who knows? We've heard from middle and high school teachers that sometimes the Internet is wonderful for highly motivated students to do deep and expansive research," says Zickuhr. "But on the flip side, obviously there are many distractions on the Internet."
That is precisely why many families and schools rely on Mobicip to help restrict these distractions and keep the focus on open ended research and learning. Learn more.

The eParent's Dilemma: Reading in the Age of the Tablet
Nearly any book you can think of can be read as an electronic book (ebook) today. Granted reading an electronic book on a computer never really took off as a trend, but the advent of electronic readers (ereaders) started the turnaround. Today, general purpose devices like smartphones and tablets make it easy and convenient to read ebooks. But do children actually read ebooks? What do parents feel about that? A recent research brief by Common Sense Media on Children, Teens, and Reading sheds some light on this.
Children actually still have a fondness for print books, although that preference is going down over time. While 66% of 9-to-17 year olds stated a preference for print books in 2010, that number dropped to 58% in 2012. The study cited offers a hint that electronic reading may, in fact, contribute to more reading among young people. One in five children, especially boys, who have read an ebook say they are reading more books for fun.
Having said that, parental attitudes towards electronic reading have remained steadfastly grim. According to a Pew survey cited in the report, "among all parents of minor children, 81% said it was "very" and 13% said it was "somewhat" important that their children read print books." Here is an excerpt from the report citing another study:
In spring 2013, the Cooney Center conducted a national survey of parents of 2- to 10-year-olds (Rideout, 2014) and found that 38% did not own either a tablet or an ereader, 32% owned one and their child used it for reading, and 32% owned one but their child did not use it for reading. Among the latter group, some of the top reasons why the child did not use the ereading device were: because the parent prefers the print experience (45%); because the parent doesn't want the child to have more screen time (29%); and because the parent believes print is better for their child's reading skills (27%).
The report suggests that the electronic platforms on which children read offer a whole host of distractions including games, apps, websites, YouTube, and all kinds of ways to watch movies and videos. As Kathryn Zickhur from the Pew Research Center says in the NPR's coverage of the report:
If a kid is looking at a book, you can assume he or she is reading. But when it comes to looking at a smartphone or tablet, who knows? "We've heard from middle and high school teachers that sometimes the Internet is wonderful for highly motivated students to do deep and expansive research," says Zickuhr. "But on the flip side, obviously there are many distractions on the Internet."
Of course, tools like Mobicip can help reduce or restrict some of these distractions. Whether parental attitudes towards electronic reading will change over time remains to be seen. But it is a given that children and teens are showing an increasing preference towards electronic reading. This coupled with the fact that ereading may have a positive outcome should lead parental attitudes changing in that direction. So what do you do as a challenged eParent? At the very least, follow the sage advice from Jim Steyer, CEO and founder of Common Sense Media:
"Kids with parents who read, who buy or take books out of the library for their kids, and who then set time aside in their kids' daily schedule for reading, tend to read the most," he says — whether it's on a book, an e-book or some other gadget.

Taming the Juggernaut that Never Sleeps
To get a real sense of this, check out this really cool infographic from Domo.
Parents, Put Down That Smartphone!
Dr. Jenny Radesky, a pediatrician at the Boston Medical Center, ran a study in which the behavior of parents with young children in restaurants was observed anonymously. 40 of 55 parents paid more attention to the smartphone than their kids. And the kids who received less attention were more prone to acting out.
In a separate study, Catherine Steiner-Adair, a consulting psychologist at Harvard, interviewed more than 1000 kids while researching for her book. "One of the many things that absolutely knocked my socks off," she says, "was the consistency with which children — whether they were 4 or 8 or 18 or 24 — talked about feeling exhausted and frustrated and sad or mad trying to get their parents' attention, competing with computer screens or iPhone screens or any kind of technology, much like in therapy you hear kids talk about sibling rivalry."

We're excited to announce that Mollom has been acquired by Acquia.
For the foreseeable future, Mollom will continue to be offered as it is today. I will continue my role as general manager of Mollom, Ben will continue to lead the development of our products and the Mollom team will remain unchanged. If you are a user or customer of either Mollom or Acquia, everything will remain exactly the same.
June 29, 2012, 11:53 AM — While Red Hat remains the poster child for open source success stories, at least in the eyes of the business world, Drupal vendor Acquia has quietly been enjoying phenomenal growth and accolades of its own.
The Burlington, MA-based startup has hired over 50 new employees since the start of the year, and plans to hire at least 50 more in the third quarter alone, according to a tweet from CTO and co-founder Dries Buytaert this morning.
The Drupal content management system is one of the most popular CMS in the world today and, like competing platforms Joomla! and WordPress, is open source. Acquia is the commercial vendor of Drupal, which Buytaert co-founded in 2007.
In the ensuing four years, Acquia has picked up $38.5 million in venture cap funding and has well over 2,000 customers. Not only does Acquia provide the usual sort of support for Drupal deployments, but it also hosts websites on its Drupal Gardens service, and provides elastic Managed Cloud hosting services.
Meanwhile, the Drupal community has done spectacularly well, too. The non-profit Drupal Association, started in 2006, has become one of the largest open source communities in the world.
"We have supported the Drupal community in its exponential growth from 70,000 members to over 800,000 and from 700 committers to over 18,000. And we are just getting started," Buytaert wrote in a blog entry this week.
BURLINGTON, MA, JUNE 26 – Ernst & Young LLP announced that Dries Buytaert, co-founder and CTO of Acquia, the enterprise guide to Drupal, received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2012 Award in the emerging technology category in New England. The award recognizes outstanding entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.
L'expert du monde Drupal Acquia arrive en France
Acquia est une société spécialisée dans la technologie Drupal. Elle a récemment (le 25 mai 2012) ouvert des bureaux en France. L'occasion de faire le point sur la société et son activité, avec Cyril Reinhard, directeur régional France, Suisse et Europe du sud d'Acquia.
Il nous dresse tout d'abord le portrait de la société : elle est apparue fin 2007, sous l'impulsion de Dries Buytaert, créateur et responsable du projet Drupal. Aujourd'hui, elle emploie plus de 220 personnes, dont 150 contribuent directement au CMS open source. 100 recrutements sont prévus cette année, nous confie Cyril Reinhard.
Drupal is one of the more popular open-source content management systems used by the federal government. Just how popular the software is in the public sector was outlined by an infographic recently released by Aquia.
Drupal is used throughout the federal government, said Jessica Richmond, Acquia's senior director of government professional services. According to Acquia, 24 percent of all .gov websites use Drupal. The software is an important part of the Digital Government strategy, which is using it to help consolidate multiple platforms and websites, she said.
Ezra Barnett Gildesgame is the Technical Lead of Acquia's Distribution Team. He is in charge of maintaining and developing Acquia's two distributions, COD (Conference Organizing Distribution) and Commons, the social business and collaboration distro. (Download them here: https://www.acquia.com/downloads.) His work goes into maintaining and improving these two Drupal products. The direct improvements made to the code go back to the repositories on Drupal.org, of course, but Ezra's work also helps the Drupal product landscape by helping other people working on other distributions.
Moving the men's magazine website to Drupal has given Maxim's Web developers more flexibility, including the ability to add social features to online events such as voting for "hot hometown girls."
This year's Maxim Hometown Hotties get to strike a pose on maxim.com thanks to Drupal, which replaced the site's previous Java-powered content management system (CMS) in January.
Maxim's current Hometown Hotties competition, in which women from across the country submitted pictures and profiles, is one example of the most dynamic content now featured on the site, according to Michael Le Du, CTO of Alpha Media Group, the publisher of Maxim. Maxim is a leader in the new generation of men's magazines that favor lingerie over nudity, combined with content catering to other young men's interests, such as sports, gaming, gadgets, and, of course, sex advice. Maxim's most famous reader-awarded contest, the Hot 100, just released its list of the most beautiful women (oddly, including Stephen Colbert at #69), but Le Du said Hometown Hotties is a better example of a something new Maxim was able to implement more easily thanks to Drupal. The contest is not new, but this is the first time it's been hosted on maxim.com.

|Determinants of Perioperative Hyperglycaemia in Primary Hip and Knee Replacement
|Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to analyze how common stress hyperglycaemia (abnormally high blood glucose) is in primary hip and knee replacement surgeries and which factors predispose to hyperglycaemia.
|Detailed Description
Postoperative infections remain one of the most frequent reasons of failure of hip and knee prostheses. Diabetes increases the risk of infections. In other fields of surgery, hyperglycemia induced by surgical stress (stress/perioperative hyperglycemia) has been associated with higher rates of postoperative infections and complications. Such studies have not yet been performed in the field of joint replacement surgery. Unlike several other risk factors of infected joint replacements, hyperglycemia is potentially modifiable and therefore its prevalence, predisposing factors and association with postoperative infections are of interest.

Good package, flexible working, good level of recognition. There is concerted effort to be ethical and improve working standards. Opportunities for career progression are fairly good.
Lack of coordination and little communication between different parts of organization.
Improve communication from top to downwords and within different departments. It will certainly improve productivity as people in different brands are doing similar things isolated to each other.

The United States Postal Service has been struggling to make money for some time now, but ho! What is that yonder, in the distance? Could it be a knight in shining armor, riding in to save this damsel in distress? And what is the male version of a damsel? Anyway, Amazon is rolling out Sunday package delivery and it's granted USPS the contract to carry it out. [More]

Mail Carrier Decides The Best Way To Get To Customer's Door Is To Drive Over The Front Yard
Why walk somewhere when you can drive? That was apparently the thinking employed by a United States Postal Service worker who drove over a customer's front yard instead of walking up to the home's porch to deliver a small package. And the whole thing was of course, caught on video, or we'd be none the wiser. [More]
"Return To Sender" Less Likely If USPS Lets Customers Ship Booze Through The Mail
Sex sells, or so they say, but because that's a bit trickier to ship through the mail, the United States Postal Service is instead looking to turn to booze as a moneymaker. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said he's hoping to start delivering alcoholic beverages through the mail as a way to raise up to $50 million a year for the struggling USPS. [More]
USPS Grants Saturday Mail Delivery A Stay Of Execution After All
Break out the high fives and order the cake — the United States Postal Service says it won't be killing off Saturday mail delivery. At least, it's not going to do that anytime soon. The agency had threatened to stop the service out of budgetary concerns, the main concern being that it doesn't have much cash. [More]

United States Postal Service Dropping Saturday Mail Delivery Starting Aug. 1
Your mailbox is going to feel a bit empty starting next summer, as the United States Postal Service is going to cut Saturday delivery in a move designed to save the agency $2 billion a year. Partly because it didn't want to continue waiting around for Congress to do something to help dig it out of its financial hole, beginning Aug. 1 the weekends will be mail-free, although packages will still be delivered on Saturdays.

Cash-Strapped USPS Raising The Price Of A Stamp By A Penny Starting Sunday
It's a brand new year but already the cash-strained United States Postal Service is showing that it's feeling the financial heat that kept zapping it in 2012. Starting on Sunday, the price of a first-class stamp will go from $0.45 to $0.46 as we were warned last year. Post card stamps will also rise a penny to $0.33. Sure, it's only a penny, but it's a penny you don't have to pay on Saturday that you do on Sunday. [More]
USPS Reaches The Limit Of $15 Billion Borrowed From Treasury, Is All Like, "Now What?"
We feel kind of bad for the U.S. Postal Service these days. Here it is, this important part of American life that has provided a service we relied on heavily for hundreds of years before the Internet, and here it is limping along broke and basically friendless. And now it's borrowed all the money it's allowed to, $15 billion, from the only place it's allowed to borrow from, the U.S. Treasury. Sigh. [More]
Stock Up On Forever Stamps Right Now: USPS Increasing Stamp Prices By A Penny In 2013
In the midst of continuing struggles to fork over billions in defaulted payments, the United States Postal Service is tightening purse strings and generally doing anything it can to ride this budget problem out.

Stamps for letters will go up a penny to $0.46 starting Jan. 27, while postcard stamps will increase a cent to $0.33. [More]
USPS Defaults On Another $5.6 Billion Payment But Assures Customers It'll Be Business As Usual
The United States Postal Service warned this would happen and it did — it defaulted on another $5.6 billion payment to its future retiree benefits account. It's the second default by the agency in two months, and the USPS says it's because Congress failed to act. Despite those woes, the USPS assures customers that business will go on as usual. [More]
USPS Says It Definitely Isn't Going To Scrounge Up $5.5 Billion To Make Payment By Tomorrow
Remember when we reported that the U.S. Postal Service was thisclose to defaulting for the first time in its history? That deadline for paying the $5.5 billion it owes to the U.S Treasury is due tomorrow, and the agency says it's just not going to find enough change in the couch cushions to pay it. [More]
The Postal Service Is ThisClose To Defaulting For The First Time Ever
The United States Postal Service is again standing on the edge of disaster with a looming Aug. 1 deadline to escape defaulting.

Make Sure That Mailbox Isn't Sticky Before Dropping Your Mail Into It
The United States Postal Service has a bit of a phishing scam on its hands in Fort Worth, Texas — or really, it's almost an actual fishing scam.

Postal Worker Blames Illness On Leaking Package That The USPS Says Never Existed

Detroit's Black Milk has a long, storied history as a part Slum Village's extended family, and even has collaborated with J. Dilla early in his career. Which is why it makes sense that despite Dilla's passing, his sound looms heavy over that of Black Milk's, who carries on his legacy years after his death. No Poison No Paradise is Black Milk's fifth solo LP, and if anyone in Detroit has built a successful post-Dilla career, it's him.
The similarity between the two producers can work both for and against Black Milk, however. On one hand, if you were to tell a blindfolded fan that this album was a newly uncovered Dilla LP, Milk's production style is so airtight that they'd be hard-pressed to argue with you. However the flipside of that coin is that some will just pass it off as a copy, unaware of Milk and Dilla's past work together.
Songs like the gospel-driven stick-up tale, "Monday's Worst" and the ominous "Codes & Cab Fare" with Black Thought, create infectious grooves, as Black Milk's ultra-descriptive rhyme style paints the picture for you. "Sonny Jr." breaks the traditional hip-hop mold completely, as he enlists Robert Glasper on horns, for a gorgeous, jazzy instrumental melody. Again on "Perfected On Puritan Ave" and "Dismal", Milk aces the exam with fully realized, bittersweet, soulful hip-hop music.
While the aforementioned cuts help Black Milk carve out his own sound and style, there are moments on here that feel mined from the Dilla catalog. "Parallels" is essentially a cover of Slum Village's "Look Of Love", which is a strange choice of inclusion if he is trying to distance himself from his mentor (who knows, maybe he isn't?). Meanwhile, songs like "Ghetto Demf", "Black Sabbath", and "X Chords" show heavy influence from Jay Dee's Beat Generation era, and while dope, will have some folks screaming "but it's not Dilla!"
If anyone in Detroit has persevered in the post-Dilla world it is Black Milk, and truth-be-told, he is a much stronger emcee than the late great James Yancey. It is respectful that he is carrying on his legacy, however he does lean too heavily at times on the production techniques of his teacher. As he shows in several moments on this album, he does not need to rely on the old Dilla formulas to make great music. Hopefully as his career progresses he can break out of this shell.
"he is a much stronger emcee than the late great James Yancey."
I think many would argue with this one here. Milk is solid on the mic, but nowhere near as entertaining to listen to as Dilla. Dilla had a unique style and witty charisma about him that Milk kinda lacks. Milk is improving though. 3.5-4 for this album is fair.

On Sunday afternoon, Clay Buchholz flirted with the second no-hitter of his career at Fenway Park. He carried that no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. Instead, Buchholz wound up going eight scoreless innings while striking out a career-high 11. He held the Rays hitless until he shattered Kelly Johnson's bat with an 0-and-1 curveball to start the eighth. Johnson, who came into the game batting .182, was 0-for-9 lifetime against Buchholz and had been called out on strikes twice Sunday before that single. Buchholz will try to keep rolling next time out against the Royals in his next start.
Manny Machado capped off a five-run ninth inning with a three-run homer off Joel Hanrahan as the Orioles defeated the Red Sox 8-5 on Wednesday. Then Machado took a 95-mph fastball from Hanrahan over the Green Monster, silencing what was left of the first non-sellout at Fenway Park in 795 regular-season games. Machado has gotten off to a slow start this year, so this could be the turning point for him. The home run was the first of the year for Machado and it was his only hit on the night. Fantasy owners need to remain patient with the 20-year old.

The flightcrew stated that approximately 8 miles out on a visual approach for runway 10 they requested winds and altimeter setting from the control tower. They received altimeter setting 29.95 inches Hg., and winds from 090 degrees at 20 knots. About 5 miles out, in full landing configuration, they checked wind conditions again, and were told 090 at 16 knots. They were holding Vref of 125 knots plus 10 knots on final. The approach was normal until they got a downdraft on short final. The airplane sank and they reacted by immediately adding engine power and increasing pitch, but the airplane continued to sink. The airplane's main landing gear came in contact with the top of the barbwire fencing at the approach end of the runway. The airplane landed short of the threshold. The airplane was under control during the roll out and they taxied to the ramp. A special weather observation was taken at the Vance W. Amory International Airport at 1930, 10 minutes after the accident. The special weather observation was winds 090 at 15 knots, visibility 10 statute miles, scattered clouds at 2,000, temperature 27 degrees centigrade, dewpoint temperature 23 degrees centigrade, altimeter setting 29.95 inches hg.

What's good in North Cambridge/ Mass Ave between Porter + Alewife Pkwy?
- s
- stephaniet Dec 21, 2012 05:25 PM
Kind of a peculiar request, but I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations or thoughts about places to eat on the stretch of Mass Ave between Porter Sq and Alewife Pkwy in Cambridge/Somerville.
I've been out of the country for more or less two years and went for a run up there the other day and noticed a lot of new restaurants, lots of which looked like they might have potential for someone who loves a good no-ambiance, great non-American food place. (me) Are there things that people recommend on this strip? I know Qingdao Garden, and I saw another branch of Capone Foods which I know from Union Sq, but anything else that would be worth making my friends walk 30-40 minutes for?
Not a peculiar request at all!
Qingdao Garden is excellent, especially for their dumplings and other specials on the back page of the menu. Greek Corner right near by is very good for casual Greek food.
For markets, Capone Fine Foods is a terrific Italian market, also with excellent homemade empanadas. There is a lot more space in the North Cambridge store than their Union Square, Somerville store. The J & K Han A Rum Oriental Market next to Qingdao Garden has nice homemade Korean panchan (cold side dishes). Miso Market is my favorite Japanese market in the area, with a very helpful and friendly staff, an interesting rotation of prepared foods, produce, and many unusual products (such as pure yuzu juice in a bottle, without salt). Not cheap.
I would avoid the Elephant Walk's mediocre faux Cambodian, Annapurna's medicore Himalayan, or Cafe Barada's mediocre Lebanese. Frank's Steak House has mediocre steak, but a nice neighborhood atmosphere.
I had an extremely poor experience at L'Impasto, the relatively new Italian restaurant, when they first opened. But, the bread was as good as the rest of the meal was bad. I've heard better things recently though, but haven't been back yet myself.
There are a number of unremarkable Thai restaurants around Porter Square. You could do worse than Rod Dee, but it's no S&I, Dok Bua or Thai North.
re: lipoff
I'll +1 this post almost word for word, excepting the things I haven't tried (Frank's, L'Impasto, cold apps at J&K) and a defensive "it's fine, c'mon" for Elephant Walk. That said, Elephant Walk wouldn't be worth a special trip.
Double-yay for those empanadas.
re: enhF94
Wait, what empanadas? :)
Also, to clarify the 40 min walk criteria, I'd be trying to convince car-less, bike-less grad students who have been living (and eating) in Inman for 4-5 yrs now to come with me. So it's not like 40 minutes of walking vs. a 20 min drive to Brookline for something. And if there are places where it would feel appropriate to go by oneself, then it only has to be worth a 10-15 minute bike ride. (Which makes something like Rod Dee kind of worth it since it's at least better than any Harvard/Inman Thai places)
In any case, thanks for all the recs so far!
re: stephaniet
Are you car-less, or anti-gas vehicle? Only bringing up the 83 bus runs a fairly frequent schedule between Central and Porter/North of Porter via Inman.
re: harvard231
Good point! It even stops right outside my house.
More than anything else, it's that I have a knee-jerk reaction against doing THAT much planning to go eat. Which I know makes no sense since I'm doing this much work here. But the idea of getting friends to take the bus with me, potentially waiting in the cold, etc...well, it raises the stakes of the experience about to be had, if nothing else. I'll probably go check out some places myself first, and keep this option in mind if things seem worthwhile. Thanks!
re: stephaniet
the out-of-context empanadas at Capone Foods on Mass Ave!
re: enhF94
whoa! who knew. I wonder if they have these at the Union Sq location (much closer to me)...will check it out for sure.
re: stephaniet
yes, capones union square has the empanadas and they are delicious.
re: enhF94
There is a large Italian community in Argentina, and my understanding is that the owner of Capone's lived for ~20 years in Argentina, whence the empanadas.
re: lipoff
We stopped in to Cafe Barada the other night and really enjoyed our meal. Great fatoush salad, kofte, good Lebanese coffee. Stuffed pickled eggplants were a surprising highlight - great beer food. Also a small selection of decent microbrews for a place you would not expect it.
Also, there is a recent thread on L'Impasto that updates with a number of positive reviews from the initial consensus of mediocrity noted by lipoff.
re: lipoff
This is a fantastic summary.
Elephant Walk is okay, but with so many other superior options, it's not really worth it.
Also be sure to check out Pemberton Market, which has a mostly excellent (and often pricey) deli. Avoid their faux Asian food. I have a great fondness for their sauteed chicken livers & onions.
YumeWoKatare is a new ramen place in Porter Square that is apparently worth waiting in line for an hour for. I haven't been but there have been some experiences posted here.
I've enjoyed L'Impasto.... Joe Sent Me is a bar that serves a good hamburger. Not sure if anything is up to the 40 minute walk standard, perhaps Quindao Garden.
Qingdao is really excellent. Get the beef flour pie -- essentially a marinated beef sandwich. It's amazing. Mr. Swank and I accidentally ordered it once, and now it's a staple in the Swank household. Darul Kabab is also exceptional (Bangladeshi-Indian-Pakistani), though I am blanking a bit; it could be *after* Porter Sq., though I don't think so--it's by the culinary academy. Friends have reported good things about Giulia, though I haven't gone yet.
re: Swankalicious
YES! Was hoping to hear about Darul Kebab. The exact name escaped me, but there is something about an upstart restaurant taking over a former fast-food building that really catches my eye/tempts my stomach...
re: stephaniet
Darul Kebab has hit a decent stride now that they've pared some of the stuff off of their original opening menu. Very good curries and Indian dishes, decent kebabs. Definitely get the DK Naan, which I've heard described as "big enough to swaddle a baby in", covered in a sweet glaze and dried fruit & nuts. Avoid the burgers and pizzas, which taste like school cafeteria food.
In the 10-15 min, bike ride category would be Greek Corner, casual environment and tasty Greek food, the usual suspects.
There are good threads on a number of the mentioned spots;just do a search. here's one for Impasto:
There is a long thread on darul Kabob, with both raves and pans.
also, Sapporo Ramen in the Porter Exchange, has some very good curry ramen and soy sauce ramen that we enjoy.
there's also a very good fro yo place right near Chez Henri.
Both could be older than 2 yrs; if so, mea culpa.
Rod Dee in Porter Square is my recommendation. Good stuff. Try the tom yum seafood noodles on a cold day, or the Bangkok duck. Authentic too: a co-worker from my old lab was from Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, and he took me to the original Brookline branch, telling me it was just like food from home.
re: lossless
Had a bit of a mixed experience with Rod Dee. My Pad Kee Mao "for here" had a burnt acrid taste, and veg was carelessly prepped and uninteresting, with scorched snow peas and much larger than bite-size pieces of green bell pepper. Had better at Sugar & Spice across the street a week ago. OTH, dumplings I brought home for later, and fried up were great.
I'll try again.
re: Chef Bwana
I've also had super mediocre pad kee mao at Rod Dee. I much prefer it at, for example, Thailand Cafe just on the other side of the river.
re: stephaniet
the one in central sq? that's not across the river. It's also not even a thai restaurant.
re: Chef Bwana
I find that the further I stray from the "typical" stuff on the menu the more I like what I get at rod dee.
I would walk 40 minutes for a Greek Corner gyro if the mood hit me. 15 min bike ride is a no brainer.
Any recent experiences at Singha Bella Cafe near Cameron Ave.? I had a decent falafel there a couple of years ago - have to say I have not been back, but it's still there which leads me to think it is a decent place.
Hi. I strongly recommend L'Impasto on Mass Ave. If you do a search you will fin d a review I wrote a couple of weeks ago. Great Italian food at reasonable price points.
Greek Corner at 2366 Mass Ave in Cambridge. Casual, authentic taverna fare at very good prices.
re: AaronInBoston
I like Hana Sushi better than Genki Ya -- it's my second favorite after Blue Fin in the Porter Exchange.
Wanted to leave a general thanks for all the (marvelously consistant) suggestions and tips here. I've been on the Paris boards for a while, where people will often quickly shoot down a request like this, so these helpful responses are a nice welcome back to the Boston area. Thanks!

I'll admit that with the passage of time often comes ingenuity and progress. I really like having power steering in my car, and microwaves certainly come in handy sometimes. But when it comes to horror films made in the 1950s, I say there's little room for improvement. Sure, the special effects might not be next-gen, the dialogue is outdated and the action moves pretty slowly, but they're classics. I mean, Creature From the Black Lagoon was originally filmed and released in 3-D, and come on, were you handed a pair of stylin' red and blue glasses when you went to see Saw II? I don't think so. Sadly, from what I hear, Universal Pictures is working on a Creature remake, set to open sometime next year. So go see the original while it's still the only one out there because, well, they just don't make 'em like they used to. The original 3-D Creature From the Black Lagoon will be shown midnight Friday and Saturday at the Inwood Theatre, 5458 W. Lovers Lane. Call 214-764-9106 or visit landmarktheatres.com.

Whet your whistle - some of the games that will support DirectX 11
With improved backward compatibility and groundbreaking tessellation and direct compute tech, Microsoft says DirectX 11 delivers games that are 30x faster. So this year is clearly going to be a fantastic year for PC gaming. Codies' DiRT 2 and EA's BattleForge are two games that have already paved the way, plus we have belters such as Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3 penned in for late 2010. The following are our top DX11 games to look forward to early this year.
STALKER: Call of Pripyat
The RPG/FPS sequel to STALKER is due out in Q1 of this year.
The Lord of the Rings Online
The popular MMO gets a DirectX 11 sprucing in Q1 of this year.
Aliens vs Predator
Promises faster and better looking Aliens, Predators and Marines. It's currently due on 2/16.
Alan Wake
The definitive DirectX 11 version follows soon after its console cousin in spring.
Which Windows is right?
There are a few Windows to pick from. Ignoring the excruciatingly embarrassing "I made this" ads for Windows 7, the bottom line is that you're going to have to upgrade if you're running XP or Vista. There's no point fighting it, unless you're in the market for a new PC in 2010, but there are three versions of Microsoft's latest OS. So, here's the Windows 7 need-to-know.
Windows 7 Home Premium
PRICE $119.99/£99.99 (upgrade), $199.99/£149.99 (full)
This version is ideal for most users, if all they want to do is play games at home. It includes Windows functions seen in Vista (only they work properly), as well as Windows Media Center. Home Premium comes with 32-bit and 64-bit versions in the box, so there's no worries about buying the wrong one.
Windows 7 Professional
PRICE $199.99/£189.99 (upgrade), $299.99/£219.99 (full)
What you need if you also use your PC to connect to your work network. Packs data encryption utility and server management tools. It also has the Windows XP Mode – handy if you want to keep your old XP software working.
Windows 7 Ultimate
PRICE $219.99/£199.99 (upgrade), $319.99/£229.99 (full)
This – the most expensive version of Windows 7 – has powerful networking utilities, including AppLocker (stops unauthorised programs being run) and BitLocker (disc encryption). This one is really only of interest to IT staff of huge companies with demanding networking needs.

Begin by selecting a box that has smooth and crisp corners. Sometimes paperboard and paper mache boxes with be a little rough on the corners. Taking a moment to select a box that is constructed well will result in a nicer finished project
To quickly and easily re-cover a box lid, apply a glue medium to the top of the lid. Apply an even layer of the medium on the lid making sure to cover the entire surface. You will want a thickness similar butter on bread, not too thin and no so thick that it will seep out from under the edges.
Place the lid adhesive side down on the back of your patterned paper. Adjust the placement of the lid so that there is enough of a paper border around the edges of the lid to fold up and cover the edges. Let the lid sit for a couple of minutes to allow the adhesive to set up.
Apply glue medium to one of the box sides.
Fold the paper over the side of the lid with the medium on it. To get a really nice edge, you can lift the lid, turning it onto its side. The movement of turning the lid onto its side will fold the paper over to the side. Hold it there for a few minutes to allow the adhesive to set up.
Use a craft knife to trim along the edges up against the box on the long and two short sides. A fresh blade is best for cutting through paper that may be slightly damp from the adhesive. Repeat for the remaining three sides.
Once the box lid and sides have been covered, use a clean dry cloth to rub over the surface. Rubbing over the surface with the cloth will help smooth out any air pockets or wrinkles. Set the lid aside to finish drying.
To cover the box sides, apply glue medium to one side of the box.
Place the box adhesive side down on the back side of your selected patterned paper. Line the corner of the box up with the corner of the paper. Let the box sit in place for a minute or two and then cut along the edges with a craft knife. Apply the medium to the next side and repeat until all four sides are covered. Set the box aside for a few minutes to allow the medium to dry.
Once the medium is dry (it will no longer feel damp to the touch), sand the edges lightly to blend and smooth them. You can vary the amount of sanding depending on how vintage or distressed you would like your finished piece to be.
Add distress ink to the edges of the box and lid for a vintage or distressed look.
Finish the box by adding embellishments such as flowers, leaves, and ephemera.
You can create extra texture and dimension in your paper or sticker embellishments by tearing or curling the edges. On this example, the edges of this strip of paper were torn with the Deckle Tear Edger to create a distressed effect.
