The antispyware consipiracy
Since the release of the first antivirus products many people have believed in a conspiracy theory where antivirus companies generate their own market by paying virus writers to develop and release viruses. I dont subscribe to that theory and trust the major security vendors, but recent trends show that theres a fuzzy line between second-tier antispyware vendors and the malware they clean.

text: CA Man Pleads Guilty To Neglecting Hundreds of Snakes by Javier Manjarres 11 Jul 2014 Share This: The Snake man, who had upwards of 400 snakes in his home in Orange County, California, has pleaded guilty to "failing to provide proper care" for his beloved snakes. William Buchman, 53, entered the misdemeanor plea in Orange County and was sentenced to 100 hours of community service. He also can't have a pet for five years and is paying $17,000 in restitution for animal care. The man obviously suffers from mental illness, and according to his attorney, "The depression paralyzed him and he tragically neglected the reptiles which had been a family hobby." This guy had snakes everywhere-most of them dead. Can you imagine sleeping under the same roof with all of those snakes? You know that they were not all crated or locked up, and were probably cozying up to him late at night. Ewww.

As real as that daydream may seem, its path through your brain runs opposite reality.
Aiming to discern discrete neural circuits, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have tracked electrical activity in the brains of people who alternately imagined scenes or watched videos. "A really important problem in brain research is understanding how different parts of the brain are functionally connected. What areas are interacting? What is the direction of communication?" says Barry Van Veen, a UW-Madison professor of electrical and computer engineering. "We know that the brain does not function as a set of independent areas, but as a network of specialized areas that collaborate."

The morning sky will play host to a spectacular gathering of solar system objects grouped closely together tomorrow (Nov. 22), but it won't be easy for observers on Earth to see it.
The sun, moon, three planets and the dwarf planet Ceres will all appear within a 20-degree span of sky. (For reference, your clenched fist held up to the sky measures about 10 degrees across.) Mercury and Saturn will be just west of the sun and new moon, while Venus and Ceres will be to the east. Unfortunately, the bright sun will wash out the beautiful "conjunction," but interested observers can still use a planetarium software program like Starry Night to check out the stunning event.
The Crab Nebula is cataloged as M1, the first object on Charles Messier's famous 18th century list of things which are not comets. In fact, the Crab is now known to be a supernova remnant, debris from the death explosion of a massive star, witnessed by astronomers in the year 1054. This sharp, ground-based telescopic view uses narrowband data to track emission from ionized oxygen and hydrogen atoms (in blue and red) and explore the tangled filaments within the still expanding cloud. One of the most exotic objects known to modern astronomers, the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star spinning 30 times a second, is visible as a bright spot near the nebula's center.

Posts tagged: Jonas Henry
A Spokane store clerk recently deterred a knife-wielding robber by simply refusing to give him anything.
The suspect, Jonas J. Henry, is in jail on assault and attempted robbery charges after a clerk at Qwik Stop, 3021 E. Wellesley Ave., said Henry threatened him with a pocket knife about 2:10 a.m. Friday and said "give me a pack of smokes or I'll show you the gangsta (stuff)," according to court documents.
But Henry, 30, ran away empty handed when the clerk refused.
A Spokane police detective followed footsteps and spotted Henry, who fled into an apartment at 2907 E. Wabash Ave., where he was arrested.
Henry remains in Spokane County Jail on $10,000 bond after appearing in Superior Court on Wednesday.

Strasburg takes BP, ready for Syracuse
Aug 24, 2011, 10:01 PM EST
Having experienced no setbacks in his bullpen session at Nationals Park this afternoon, Stephen Strasburg has been cleared to pitch Saturday for Class AAA Syracuse in what will be the penultimate start of his minor-league rehab assignment.
Strasburg, who has made four starts for Class A affiliates Hagerstown and Potomac, will make the leap up to Class AAA, facing the Pawtucket Red Sox on Saturday night. He should be allowed to go up to five innings or 75 pitches, whichever comes first.
The right-hander noted after his last outing at Hagerstown that he could benefit from pitching against higher competition after facing nothing but Class A batters who often are overly aggressive at the plate and don't offer him and opportunity to pitch with a gameplan.
"I think it would help me out a lot," Strasburg said following a three-inning start Monday night. "I've never pitched at this level before. This is kind of new. I'm still trying to figure out how these guys are going to approach me. … I've really learned how to set guys up. At this level, I don't really have a chance to set them up, because they're already swinging."
The step up does provide another challenge that has nothing to do with the act of pitching. Because National League affiliates don't

For women with epilepsy the absolute risk of birth abnormalities is 4-6% double the risk of 2-3% that exists in the general population. Is this increased risk caused by the effects of their seizures; the drugs or combinations of drugs they have to take; their genetic background or environmental factors?
In May 2000 a group of Australian researchers launched a national registry for pregnant women with epilepsy. The role of Pregnancy Registers is to assess the risks to babies exposed to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), to compare the efficacy of various drugs, and to observe possible improvements in management practice over time. The Australian Pregnancy Register is a voluntary Australian-wide registry of patients who become pregnant while taking an antiepileptic drug has been established. This registry follows, in large numbers, women throughout their pregnancy and helps to determine the real factors for this increased risk in birth abnormalities.
Women with epilepsy who become pregnant whether or not they are taking antiepileptic medication.
Women who become pregnant while taking an antiepileptic medication for an indication other than epilepsy.
To register call Australian Pregnancy Register 1800 069 722.or visit Australian Pregnancy Register www.apr.org.au
* A highly informative article by Professor Frank Vajda discussing the role of Pregnancy Registers and the possible impact of epilepsy and epilepsy treatment on pregnancy was published in The Epilepsy Report. A must read for any woman with epilepsy who is considering pregnancy, click here.

Perfect dinners in a pinch with 316 quick-and-easy recipes!
Peggy Woodward, RD
DEAR PEGGY: In June/July 2008, the article on page 63 (chart reprinted below) listed the calories and fat grams for different types of ground meat. I use ground venison instead of ground beef in many recipes.
I'd like to know the nutritional facts for this meat. I'm under the impression that venison has less fat and cholesterol than ground beef. —J. M., Letohatchee, Alabama
You're right! Ground venison is lower in fat than ground sirloin (about 90 percent lean), ground turkey and even lean ground turkey. But it's not leaner than extra-lean ground turkey.
Three ounces of cooked ground venison equals:
Venison is also lower in calories, but the amount of cholesterol it contains is comparable to that found in ground beef and ground turkey.
Grocery Stores offer different types of ground beef with different percentages of lean meat by weight. Look for those labels with the highest percentage of lean meat. And be aware that ground poultry, which may include skin and dark meat, can be as high or higher in fat than ground beef! Look for the lean or extra-lean variety.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - If you need news, there's a new place to turn to all day every day and all night every night. It's 1200 -1460 Wink News Radio and it just launched this week.
Vice President and General Manager Wayne Simons says there was no all-news station in the market, and when breaking news happened, there really was "no place to turn on the radio dial to get that information."
Wink News Radio uses resources from WINK-TV, the News-Press and the Naples Daily News. Simons says it "combines the skills and resources of 250 news professionals."
News anchor Bill O'Neal says listeners are "going to hear all of the stories that have an impact on their lives every day. Whatever's happening in their neighborhood and whatever's happening around the nation."
There's also traffic and weather every ten minutes. "It's a way to keep our viewers and listeners up to date on what's happening in the marketplace continuously," says Simons.
"It's rapid fire," adds O'Neal. "You're going to hear a lot of different things. Of course, this is a very fast-moving world and we're trying to mirror that."

Life of Crime Can't Take Itself Seriously

Balletomanes are bound to adore Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine's lavish documentary Ballets Russes (2005), which recalls the glory days of that legendary emigré dance troupe through rare footage of its opulent performances and interviews drawn from a 2000 reunion of its surviving stars, most of them in their eighties and nineties. But even those who don't know a jeté from a pas de deux may be fascinated by this excursion into the past (1932-1962), three decades in which neither artistic rivalries nor a calamitous world war nor sheer greed could put the famous company to rout. Included: the recollections of ballet stars Alicia Markova, Nathalie Krassovska, George Zoritch and Irina Baronova, who collaborated with twentieth-century giants such as Balanchine, Fokina, Stravinsky, Debussy, Picasso and Matisse.
Ballets Russes will screen Monday, April 3, as part of the University of Colorado's International Film Series. Shows are at 7 and 9 p.m. in Muenzinger Auditorium on the CU-Boulder campus; for information, call 303-492-1531 or go to www.internationalfilmseries.com.

Garrett Scott Teal, 21, of 2609 Palamino Trail, Crestview, was arrested on Saturday, September 6th. Teal is charged with "obscene communication use computer to seduce lure child." An undercover investigation began in May 2014, using a smartphone application to target individuals soliciting minors to engage in sexual activity. On May 6, the investigator posted "Bored young female…J." On the same day, Teal replied to the post by sending a private message. During the course of the conversation, it was made known to Teal that he was communicating with a 14 year old girl. Teal knowingly solicited the minor to engage in sexual activity.
Teal has been ordered by Judge David Green to have no contact with minors.

Police are hunting a gang of men who terrorised six teenagers who were walking home from an 18th birthday party in Keilor East on Saturday, Caroline Zielinski reports. It is believed the group left the party about 11.30pm, and walked on the track next to Old Calder Highway when they were approached by a group of 15 men. One of the offenders then held a knife to the throat of one teen, stealing his wallet and iPhone, while the other offenders chased his friends away. The targeted teen was also hit on the head with a bottle before managing to break free and calling the police. Police have released a picture of the main offender.
There are still 10 minute delays on the Hurstbridge Line into the city - it's taking a while to clear up that signal fault.

Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokesman Trevor Woodward said the fire at the Howe Court home in Reservoir appeared to have started in the front of the house before spreading to other rooms, the roof and the house next door. Paramedics treated a woman from a neighbouring house for smoke inhalation. The unit where the fire originated was empty, as its female owner had been taken to hospital just before the fire.
Twice as many people were injured in tram accidents last year as in the year before, reports Caroline Zielinski. There were 30 serious tram-related injuries last year, including three deaths.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia legislators and visitors to the Capitol can expect a strong military presence for at least one day.
Members of the Virginia Army National Guard, Virginia Air National Guard and Virginia Defense Force will be on hand with equipment displays outside the General Assembly Building on Wednesday. The idea is to demonstrate some of the capabilities the Virginia Guard and the Defense Force can provide while on active duty in the state.
The adjutant general of Virginia will host a reception for legislators, and senior Virginia Guard leaders will be there to answer questions about the missions and capabilities of the Guard.

October 2011 Openings and Closings
- hiddenboston Oct 3, 2011 06:21 AM
All right, all, here we go again. Any upcoming openings or closings this month? A few openings that come to mind include Wahlburgers in Hingham, Sweet Cheeks in the Fenway area, and Render Coffee in the South End. Not sure about closings right now, though it looks like Gargoyles in Somerville closed for good this past weekend.
re: galangatron
That's awesome.
re: galangatron
galangatron, do they have a website? I was going to Google it, but figured I'd come up with results that would make my hair stand on end.
re: hiddenboston
re: galangatron
It's probably best that they don't have a website. :-b
re: galangatron
I was at the food court yesterday, and took a look at lickie lickie. I didn't try anything. They have ice cream and yogurt and a few other special desserts, but it didn't strike me as being very special. Am curious to hear if/when others try it...
I hadn't heard about Render Coffee until now, as far as I know they are the first coffee bar in town to serve Counter Culture (though Clover occasionally does use their beans). I had heard rumors that Counter Culture was looking to expand into Boston; in DC and elsewhere they have training centers and the Counter Culture website mentions they are considering opening one in Boston, so I'd expect to see more of their coffee around. I like it very much, though we have the benefit of two great roasters in town (Barismo and George Howell) and several other great regional roasters (Barrington, Matt's Wood Roasted). I'll look forward to trying Render, though I hope they include some of the area roasters among their featured beans.
re: hckybg
Counter Culture Coffee has been served at various spots around the city. Espresso Royale Caffe/Pavement Coffeehouse has been serving them and recently switched over to them as their house roaster. They'll be setting up a training center in Union Square ready sometime early-2012. Render Coffee (rendercoffeebar.com) will open soon and will feature guest roasters as well.
Render Coffee
563 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA 02118
Pavement Coffeehouse
1096 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02215
re: yehwan
Funny, I just went to Pavement the other day (for the first time in a few months) and noticed that everything was now Counter Culture. I liked that Pavement offered a range of beans, which was nice for comparison. I don't mind Counter Culture at all, but I do hope that places that use them still do mix in others. That is the best part of RBC, one of my favorite New York cafes, which rotates perhaps six or seven roasters.
Do you mean Union Square, Somerville, I assume? Their training facilities typically host events and training for both their dealers and for the public, right? Not cafes? That's interesting, Inman Square is increasingly at the center of our budding coffee culture.
re: hckybg
RBC?! hckybg, now you've got my attention. But, I think you would agree that RBC offering multiple roasters/brew methods is the exception. (Hurts to be spoiled)
Yes...close to the heart of the square. The Boston training will be in the mold of their other centers but double the size of New York. Yeah, I love living in Area 4. I gather you're excited for the opening of Dwelltime Coffee Bar as well?
Dwelltime Coffee Bar
364 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
re: yehwan
Yes, very excited for dwelltime, which is very close to my home. They do say they will also feature other roasters, but I'm generally just a big fan of Barismo because they try lots of different things and remain a local roaster. RBC is actually the only place I've seen their beans outside Boston, though I'd assume there might be others.
I had a nice experience at Area Four the other day, they always have a guest roaster too. Their espresso was from Novo, which I hadn't had before. It was tasty, though I don't meet a lot of espresso I don't like as long as it's well pulled.
For those looking for good tortilla, fresh masa, etc, La Nina Tortilleria just opened in Chelsea. $2.50/lb for tortillas.
re: emannths
That is really good news. I see a field trip coming soon. Fresh masa for tamales. Yes!
re: hckybg
Sushi/Wine bar? I give it six months, if it ever opens. Bring back that coffee shop that was there for ages before the revolving door.
I follow The Pulse Cafe on Facebook where there have been rumblings about the fact that they are looking for a buyer and will close by the end of the month unless they find someone to take it on. I follow a mainly vegan diet (I do eat fish) and have not been over there yet myself as I heard mixed things about it, but I feel like I should go over and check it out.
re: mvi
That's too bad. I was hopeful for this place - initially it was not so good, then it seemed to find its footing and I patronized about once or twice a month between eat-in and take-out and was generally happy - salads were fresh and plentiful, if simple - entrees were a bit hit-or-miss but the flavors were generally good. Then they went and changed the menu, adding breakfast fare all-day and veggies burgers/sandwiches, and deleting the more interesting weekly rotation of entrees. I wonder if True Bistro siphoned off some of their clientele. Plus, the place was really dingy, in a Portlandia sorta way. It did kind of break my heart a little to watch people walk by Pulse and sneer at the menu on their way to Posto.
re: Bob Dobalina
I have to try it. They have cut back on their hours so I'll see what I can do. If I see any more news on their Facebook page, I'll post it.
re: Boston_Otter
Are you referring to Pulse or True Bistro? Pulse never really billed itself as gourmet, as far as I know. TB does go for the gourmet gold, and my one dining experience there was excellent.
re: Bob Dobalina
I shouldn't have said 'gourmet', you're right. What I meant was that all of the other vegetarian/vegan places in the area focused on wraps, while Pulse served vegan 'calamari', raw-food 'pizzas', and other interesting things... at first.
re: Boston_Otter
That must have been in its really really early days. Never saw anything quite that creative on the menu while I was sampling. How was the vegan calamari? WHAT was the vegan calamari?!
re: Bob Dobalina
I think I had the vegan calamari. I think they were some sort of fired mushroom that came with a garlicky dipping sauce and were good. I am not vegetarian, but went there when it first opened with someone who is a semi-vegetarian and I thought the food was creative and pretty good. Did they ever start to serve wine/beer? I think it's tough for restaurants without the profit from alcohol.
re: Bob Dobalina
pemma has it right -- they were some kind of mushroom (oyster?) that was cut into rings and sort of tempura fried. They approximated calamari rings pretty well but didn't last long on the menu. I tried the seitan 'roast beef' as well but honestly, it just tasted like store-bought seitan with some generic brown gravy. I loved their cornbread, though.
About 30 Mass area Friendly's are closing. Boo hoo...
I have only been there once in the past 10 years. We stopped at the one in Gardner, MA in a rush. My burger was cold and raw, which was representative of the overall food. Even growing up, I always opted for Newport Creamery over Friendly's where we lived.
re: Gabatta
Friendly's were always pretty good for me, but like most people it seems, I have not been there in at least 10 years, or maybe more. Back in the 80s heyday, the big beefs, tuna melts and reece's sundaes had no equal.
re: Bob Dobalina
I lived next door to the Fr in Brighton Center back in the early 70's and those tuna melts were the best! (particularly on a student budget)
re: Gabatta
There was a Friendly's at the end of my street growing up, so I'll always have fond memories of Conehead Sundaes. But yes, I have probably only been once since that one closed almost 20 years ago.
re: Gabatta
I'm glad the one in Watertown isn't closing... yet. I still enjoy them once in a great while.
re: Gabatta
Their ice cream was never as good as Brigham's.
re: pemma
If Wikipedia is correct, Friendly's manufactures Brigham's ice cream. It doesn't mean that Brigham's can't be better (the recipe is probably not the same), but in the context of your comment, it's a funny coincidence!
re: emannths
Wikipedia is incorrect. It's Hood that manufactures Brigham's.
re: Velda Mae
Seems you're right. Not sure where's the Friendly's bit came from!
re: emannths
And I believe that Brigham's manufactured their own ice cream until Hood bought them a couple of years ago.
re: 66corvair
If they add German food, it's like ...world war II in a bowl.

re: gourmaniac

re: 66corvair
Robinwood was already under new ownership when I reviewed it back in August for The Phoenix, but the menu had not changed at all. It still looked like a Greek-American owned diner, with gyros and such still being served alongside lots of deep-fried stuff, subs, pan pizza, plates of eggs with sad home fries, pretty reasonable burgers, and entrees like pretty fair steak tips and dried-out meatloaf with gloppy brown gravy, instant potatoes, and frozen broccoli. The website still has the old menu: http://www.robinwoodcafegrille.com/
The main thing they talked about changing was doing better baked goods, which was needed: pretty sad muffins and such. I thought it was okay for what it was; will be curious to hear more about this new direction.
re: Uncle Yabai
I walked by this space the other day but it was in the morning and very quiet. Their web site looks more like a blog that details their construction progress. Do you know anything about the menu or the hours? Lunch? Thanks. It's not far from me, so I'd love to try it out. So many new places in the Kendall Square area these days. Exciting.
re: Uncle Yabai
Looks like they've got a website with menu (http://www.firebrandsaints.com) and a short piece by Devra First in the Globe (http://tinyurl.com/3qnjhvo). I'll probably try it out for lunch soon. Although they don't have their hours listed....
re: erwocky
Just dinner now. I walked by last night. They open at 5. It was totally packed at 6:30. Loud. Looked like fun.
re: mvi
Loud music or conversation bouncing off surfaces loud? Can you enjoy a conversation or will you have to text your dining companion?
re: BostonZest
Hi Penny. Great question. When I popped in, I stayed in the doorway, chatting with the hostess, so I can't give a completely qualified answer, but at the time I'd say it was quite the scene and had the feel of a very rowdy, yet sophisticated frat party before the effects of long term drinking kick in. Appealing but loud. Mind you, it was a week night at 6:30, so I do not know what weekends are like and I have not really ventured in, so this is really not a very worthy account. I live nearby, though, so when I go in for the real deal, I'll get back to you. hopefully that will be soon. It really does look like a fun place. I do not think I'd go there for an intimate evening with my sweetheart.

re: erwocky
Any place that serves 1/2 pints is worth a go. So many places in Kendall now for after work drinks.
re: LauraBear
You mean that "First Printer" vaporware?
re: LauraBear
work has ramped up on the place in Porter, and they've taken the paper down from the windows. If the construction reports are to believed and I think they're probably in the right ballpark) we should see it open before Thanksgiving.
re: LauraBear
The place on Holyoke Street (a former bank, complete with vault) was never Steve's; it was Herrell's.
A post on Facebook indicates that Gargoyles in Somerville may in fact be open Oct 6-8 from 5:30-12:30 for cocktails and bar menu. Despite "closing permanently" twice now, they insist that this is their final few days open.
re: Boston_Otter
This is akin to the person who quits his or her job and then keeps coming back to the office over and over and over again to have lunch with workmates and catch up on things.
re: Boston_Otter
I hafta say I think this is very odd. I was sad to miss them before they closed and then sad to miss them when they were re-opened again (had visitors from out of town) and now to hear they might be open again for one last gasp? I smell some nostalgia-milking from the owners to capitalize on the genuinely good will of the former patrons. Am I being too cynical?
re: yumyum
I find it intensely irritating. When they had their big "closing forever" weekend, they made it really clear that the last day they'd be open would be a big good-bye to all of their patrons. I got a big group together for one last drink at Gargoyles.. and was told that they'd decided to close forever a day early. Then a week later they re-opened. Then closed forever. Now they're doing it again. It's sorta like Cher giving a half-dozen "farewell tours".
re: Boston_Otter
There's just a weird "No this time we REALLY REALLY MEAN IT" vibe to the re-openings. Kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
re: yumyum
They have the Brett Favre syndrome.
re: jacquelines
So if the new Mexican place that takes over is really awesome, are the old Gargoyles folks gonna start carping that any place could have succeeded with such a great storefront?
re: hckybg
I hope so, but then the Food Network will run with it and create a new show while some how justifying Guy Fieri being thrown into the mix.
re: yumyum
Another update: I went to their last-ever closing-forever day last weekend for one last cocktail.... and just found out that they're open again this weekend. So at this point I give up and assume that they're going to stay open as long as possible until the new owners force them out.
re: Boston_Otter
I just posted on one of the Afterlife FB pages to confirm if this is true. It's so odd, isn't it?
re: Boston_Otter
The investors want out but the managing investor wants/wanted to keep it open. The space will be taken over by the folks behind Posto. It will be a Mexican joint.

re: Berheenia
It's in the space that was formerly the Kabbalah center (and long before that, a small synagogue whose name I can't recall, although I do remember that they never shoveled their sidewalks in the winter - one of my pet peeves, especially in a neighborhood which had so many elderly residents at the time.)
re: Allstonian
I don't recall it being a synagogue before that. It was a dance center. The synagogue down the street may have used it when they were rebuilding after a fire.
re: CookieLee
Oops - you're right, I was thinking of Young Israel, a block further down Green Street.
re: CookieLee
There was a religious organization in there before Kaballah. Hebrew College used it for overflow of their Prozdor high school program. That was after the landlord essentially refused to sell the building to the Brookline Community Education group that everyone loved.
re: Berheenia
They spent a fortune on the interior. It's a risk: Green is the side street off Harvard between Peet's and the suddenly closed Friendly's concept restaurant. I assume lots of valets. The inside looks very nice.
re: Berheenia
Osaka is purportedly a hibachi restaurant, by which I think they mean they're a teppanyaki joint (that also serves sushi, sigh.)
re: MC Slim JB
I was informed they want to focus on real Asian street food.
re: Unfoodie
So, Osaka intends to do more than strictly Japanese?
re: MC Slim JB
I was given the impression that it was going to focus on Asian street food but it might just be Japanese street food. The conversation took place months ago.
re: Unfoodie
I walked in today (10/11). They haven't received their take-out menus yet. I flipped through the regular menu: a variety of Japanese food.
re: lergnom
One of my friends walked in - and walked out. She said it was v. noisy @ 6:30pm, with the noise coming from the teppanyaki side. She said the room looks fabulous, but that you couldn't hear anything above the noise. Her suggestion is that maybe they'll build a wall to separate the areas.
re: mkfisher
According to this it's opening the week of the 17th:
re: mkfisher
Trade is open, already booming. Very strong first impression, kind of like a cross between Coppa (strong wood-fired small flatbreads) and Oleana (pan-Med flavors), in a big, industrial-looking setting. Loud when packed, all hard surfaces.

There's been an empty space on the corner of Cambridge Street and Eighth in East Cambridge for a few months. Today there was a hand made sign saying Cafe Kafofo is opening soon. Picture of a coffee cup.No other info but the sign was not there yesterday so this is breaking news in East Cambridge. .
re: chrisdapos
Sweet Cheeks will be opening in Cambridge 1's old space:
re: Spenbald
I was down there Saturday afternoon and couldn't see any action construction wise in the old Cambridge 1 spot. It's a pretty dead block in general.
re: Berheenia
I drive by there every morning. Definitely construction. In fact, I saw they bringing in at least 4 50' sony led tvs just this morning, so they must be almost done.
re: chrisdapos
Lower Boylston is far better suited to Sweet Caroline's simpler menu. The area by Burton's and Cambridge 1 was also where cars accelerate.
The mere existence of several venues in an area does not make it a destination.
re: postemotional1
it's a long winter to get through, opening post-sox season.

That's what I have heard, too, for 300 Third Street. Lots of work going on there.
Don't think I've seen any mention of Hi-Rise Bread Company that closed on Brattle St but should open any day now at 1663 Massachusetts Ave. Dining options should be more developed with possibly sit-down service. High-level coffee program will continue. I'm glad parking should be easier over there as well.

There is a new place (I believe called Taste) going into the old Roly Poly spot on Devonshire. There was a small sign on the window, but not much else going on.
I just found out that the mom-and-pop Korean market on Elm Street in Waltham, Dae Han, has closed. I don't exactly know when it closed as I haven't been for a few months. I'm so very sad as the store is very close to where I live and I really like the proprietors.
Does anyone know if there are similar Korean markets nearby (Waltham, Newton, Watertown)? I have zero desire to drive all the way to H Mart.
re: y2000k
There is Reliable Market in Union Square Somerville, and Lotte Market on Mass Ave. in Cambridge near MIT (walking distance from #70 central sq bus stop from Waltham).
re: y2000k
It closed a few months ago actually. I only shopped there once, perhaps a month before it closed. The homemade kimchee was pretty good if expensive. Another Korean grocery store closed in Newtonville too, around the same time. Reliable is still the best Korean grocery store, IMO, better than H-Mart in some regards except size of course.

Something big is going on in the old Casal space on Cambridge Street near Inman Square. A search turned up a mention that the Clover folks are moving in. This would be awesome news. They are really ripping the place apart right now. with some serious work going on. That's all I know. Casal has closed....but is Clover coming? And if so, when?
All Star Pizza Bar on the corner of Prospect and Cambridge Street is making slow progress. But things are happening.

25 Orchard View Dr Unit 6, Londonderry, NH 03053
re: hckybg
Thanks. There are lots of people hard at work in there and I agree, it looks like they have totally ripped the place apart. This is nice news for the area. Cambridge Street gets better all the time.
re: hckybg
Clover is great, but I wish they would expand or vary the menu more. I was excited when they opened in Harvard Square, but it definitely gets old fast.
re: Gabatta
I agree with you, Gabatta. I also find their ordering system beyond confusing. It's really much more complicated than it needs to be and creates a stressful experience when you keep jumping up to get your things, that is if you hear your name. Let's hope the Clover people are taking a close look at all of the comments that have come in, as the observations seem fairly consistent across the board.
re: mvi
+1! They need to refresh their sandwiches periodically and there is still room to improve consistency. Sometimes the egg and eggplant is perfectly custardy, other times it is rubbery. Likewise, sometimes the vegetables in the chickpea fritter sandwich are tasty, other times they are bland. In general, a much more interesting pickled vegetable mixture would really improve the chickpea fritter; perhaps pickled cauliflower, cucumber, etc. They do mix in varied sandwiches (such as the recent basil, which was very good) but it is usually only one at a time.
re: hckybg
I hear you. They have expanded so quickly; let's hope they take a little while to breathe, focus on the food, the ordering system and consistency. I remain a Clover fan, and remember the days when we all rushed over to their lone food truck, but there's clear room for improvement.
re: Gabatta
Add me to the list of those who agree. I understand wanting a minimalist menu so that they can focus on what they are good at, but it gets boring. And I don't get the ordering process. Why must the ordertakers mingle around the boards blocking them? Does it really save time? But what do I know, I'm a little bitter that they got rid of the pimento cheese sandwich before I had a chance to try it.
re: viperlush
Also, if you are going to have a minimalist menu with few choices, try not to have items which you run out of by dinner time every day thus compounding the issue.

Yes, the news about The Friendly Toast being for sale has been around for a while now. I have no idea as to the progress of any sale.

That's a real shame.
Salvatore's on Washington/Theater District looked like they were having a soft opening. last night.
Trade on Atlantic was also serving but not sure it was just staff or friends and family. Nice looking place from the outside.
POPS in the South End has closed its' doors
re: meeps2002
What's with that location There have been lots of good restaurants there, Pops included, but nothing ever survives. I believe Perdix was there and before that Amanda Lydon's restaurant Truc(?) all were really good. Too bad.
re: Northender
Before Truc, it was Azita.. owner now operating Bina, Binoteca 26?, and Lala Rokh.
I had a great meal at Truc. I think the problem with the space is that it's very small When I was at Truc, there was no bar or waiting area. Perdix or Pops may have put in a bar (haven't been)but it's still a very small space.
Lala Rokh
97 Mount Vernon Street, Boston, MA 02108
re: 9lives
I remember Azita and it too was a veryy good restaurant - nice family - babak Bina and his sister. It is just strange that there have at least four, much better than average restaurants there and iir they had a very nice glassed in patio in the back. You are probably correct that the lack of an adequate bar may have cost them.
The former Au Bon Pain space near Symphony Hall on Mass Ave has a sign in the window saying Sebastian's is opening 'soon'. I'm not familiar with this chain.
re: Berheenia
Nothing earth shattering. They're all over the financial district.
re: Guinness02122
Among the Financial District chains, I think Sebastian's has one of the better salad bars - ton of food for the $, especially if you stay away from the proteins. Blows Cosi away, which I guess is not saying much.
re: Bob Dobalina
True. Never thought of the salads.
re: Bob Dobalina
Good options, but maybe I'm alone at finding their salad bar overpriced? If you choose some greens, with a few extra veggie options and some chicken, you're talking about a $10 salad.
re: kobuta
That's what I meant - stay away from the add-ons / proteins - it becomes overpriced as soon as you add one of those - completely agree. If you stick with the standard veggies, you can eat a ton.
re: Bob Dobalina
Easily two meals out of one salad.
re: kobuta
I'm with Kobuta on this one. I find it mildly overpriced. Maybe I just have a bigger appetite than Northender, but it's not even close to being enough for two meals.
re: mkfisher
you have a good appetite - actually, ashamed to admit but i usually eat the whole salad but I feel as if I over did it. Maybe it's just right?
re: Northender
Gotta put Cafe de Boston above Sebastian's for a DTX salad.
For those w/ big appetites their mixed grill plate with chicken, steak, doner kabob, falafel, hummus, shepherd salad, and pita is rivaled only by Cafe Latino's pernil plate.
re: Guinness02122
one in kendall square also. their bread and butter biz is catering anyway.
Across from Target in Watertown, in the auto parts plaza at 23-25 Elm St., is a sign saying that a Middle Eastern Market and Grocery is coming soon. They were advertising "Armenian pizza." I couldn't see if there was much progress inside.
We'll see if they can carve out a niche in that area with so many wonderful options already available in the immediate vicinity.

re: joth68
I'm hoping they can re-open somewhere. KKL was one of the best Chinese delivery places in the Teele/Davis/Porter area.
re: joth68
According to Somerville Patch, Maria's Italian Cold Cuts was pretty heavily damaged, too. I kept meaning to check it out. Hope they can rebuild.

Through a monetary conversion of benefits and costs, a
return-on-investment (ROI) forecast projected calculations of the
anticipated impact of coaching and mentoring to improve data entry
processes. The overarching problematic issues involve complex data
entry processes performed through a court system's case management
system and ambiguous, convoluted expectations and help tools.
Patricia Pulliam Phillips and Holly Burkett (2008) contend in their
book, "Data Conversion: Calculating the Monetary Benefits," that
intangible measures play integral roles in the ROI evaluation
process. To clearly ascertain the effectiveness of the program, it
is critical to investigate the impact on the reduction of data
entry errors and the coaching or mentoring program. To do so, it is
also important to measure employee attitudes and engagement because
their intangible benefits are strongly linked to productivity (a
tangible benefit).
After the conclusion of coaching and mentoring training classroom
sessions, survey results yielded both tangible and intangible
benefits. For example, survey results showed that participants
valued their exposure to coaching and mentoring techniques, with 70
percent stating that they would highly recommend the sessions to
others. About 55 percent of survey respondents listed productivity
(tangible benefit) as an anticipated business impact of coaching or
mentoring, while 50 percent noted employee satisfaction (intangible
benefit) as a business impact.
How were these specific intangible benefits
Using five-point Likert scale surveys, the human performance
improvement and technology consultant collected data that assessed
the organizational, environmental, and job design. Based on the
survey results, interviews were conducted for the purpose of
understanding the conveyed perceptions regarding the performance
gap(s). Discussions also involved obtaining employee input
regarding possible barriers to effective implementation.
Why is it important to place a value on these intangible
According to James Pershing (2006), the three universal motivators
of employee engagement are helping people develop levels of self
confidence in their work skills, creating a positive emotional
environment at work, and asking people to accept and value their
own performance goals.
Although enhancing motivation and employees' commitment and loyalty
through informing and inclusive methods are intangible assets, they
may influence the production of valuable tangible results, such as
improving performance by decreasing data entry error rates.
Effective coaching and mentoring motivates case managers to achieve
expected levels of performance by fostering an understanding of
task responsibilities and goal identification.
How do you intend to calculate the monetary value of these
A mathematical analysis of past and present behavior will help
determine if achieved behavioral change remains constant, and
whether the quality of case termination data will continue to
improve. Because the needs assessment identified an existing
relationship between time management and employee engagement, this
behavior change measurement will be indirectly linked to the
conversion of the monetary value correcting data entry errors.
The median salary of case managers is $40,000. If a case manager is
100 percent proficient in performing data entry for case
termination reporting, then an assumption of the value of a case
manager is estimated at approximately $56,000 (40 percent of the
median salary, or $16,000, which represents an estimate at market
rate value equal to employee wages and benefits, according to
Payscale for Employers, 2009).
The following provides a demonstration of how to calculate the
difference between a case manager's skill level and the target
skill level - the skill gap is multiplied by the skill value to
determine the cost of the skill gap.
If salary and benefits=$56,000
If providing work guidance=10 percent weight
If a case manager is rated as 50 percent proficient in time
management, then:
$56,000 x 10% skill weight=$5,600 (the value of
case manager with excellent time management skills), and
$5,600 x 50% rating=$2,800 (the dollar amount of
the gap from the desired performance).
Assuming that the case manager is rated as a skilled employee
representing 50 percent of the desired performance after completing
the coaching and mentoring training (and possibly becoming a coach,
coachee, mentor, or mentee), it is estimated that the case manager
would likely progress to an advanced employee rating of 85 percent
of desired performance (a 35 percent improvement). Thus, estimated
case manager (employee)-value of the coaching and mentoring
initiative is $3,360:
Proficiency after initiative: 85% x $5,600=$4,760
Proficiency before initiative: 50% x $2,800=$1,400
Benefit: $4760 - $1400=$3,360
Total costs for 25 case managers: =$14,200
Cost per person: =$ 568
Net gain: =$2,792
Yielding a forecasted, improved business result of 492 percent
indicates a good return of investment resulting from the case
manager's participation in coaching and mentoring programs.
BCR = Benefit/Cost
= 3360/568
ROI=Benefit/Cost x 100
=2792/568 x 100
The above forecast clearly depicts the monetary value of improving
a case manager's time management skills. The value of employee
engagement or behavior, however, is hidden in the demonstrated
conversion - it is the effectiveness of the case manager's
engagement in the coaching or mentoring program that controls the
overall behavioral changes of time management efficiency.

And the continued assertion that hydrogen cannot be produced in a self contained vehicle. Which is why the argument against concentrates upon storage and transportation.
My own cell is within reach. The only issues remaining are how to allow the battery to recharge correctly during normal use. A simple task, but one that will require me to meet with a more knowledgeable person on such matters.
It's Possible it could be up and running within the week.

WALLINGTON, N.J. (AP) - Repair estimates indicate the damage from Hurricane Irene will almost certainly rank among the nation's costliest natural disasters.
Even as rivers finally stopped rising in Vermont, New Jersey, and Connecticut, many communities and farm areas remained flooded, and officials said complete damage estimates were nowhere in sight.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo estimated the damage to his state alone at $1 billion. In North Carolina, where Irene blew ashore along the Outer Banks, Gov. Beverly Perdue said the hurricane destroyed more than 1,100 homes and caused at least $70 million in damage.
National Guard helicopters continue to ferry supplies to mountain communities in Vermont that had no electricity, no telephone service and limited transportation in or out.
Power outages persisted across the region. The storm killed at least 45 people.
