Washington D.C.
Policy meets tech in the nation's capital
Career Salaries
What developers know it for
Politics and policy dominate the cultural climate of DC and help distinguish its startup culture. The city attracts entrepreneurs and engineers who want to tackle serious issues of our time - from healthcare to education to open government data and more. The tech community is still in its infancy, but its proximity to our nation's capital just might make it one of the most important tech hubs in the country.

BlueLabs is a technology firm formed by leadership from the Obama for America re-election campaign analytics team. On the campaign, we used sophisticated data integration and predictive modeling to inform voter targeting—and make dead-on election forecasts. You may have read a little about our team during the campaign: a close-knit, slightly eccentric bunch, crammed into what became dubbed as the Obama Campaign "Cave." But behind all of that success were a few radical ideas about how to build the best analytics team around and equip it to solve the campaign's problem—and ultimately, re-elect the president.

The Cult of Amazon.com
Of course, cloud computing is just one part of the Amazon technology story. It's also one of the leading streaming media companies, competing with
(NFLX). Rocco Pendola says
But what's streaming worth? Netflix' total revenue for 2012 were about $3.6 billion. Even if Amazon did as well, that and the cloud business are still just gnats on the balance sheet elephant.
So be generous and toss in the Kindle business. Pacific Crest told
Barron's Amazon might sell
In his most recent conference call, Bezos said e-book revenue were $9.19 billion. Let's call e-books tech, too, and not retailing.
Now add it all up and, like I said, be generous. Add Macquarie's $3.8 billion in cloud to Netflix' $3.6 billion in streaming, toss in $2.5 billion for Kindle players and $9.2 billion in e-book revenue. That's $19 billion in technology revenue, from all sources, you can expect in 2013. Amazon.com did $21 billion in revenue during the fourth quarter of 2012 alone,At the time of publication the author had positions in MSFT, GOOG, INTC, AAPL and COST.

Quick question & forgive me as I'm totaIly new here. I have a new Nexus 7 with kit kat and love it. I also love the nova launcher and what I can do with it. However, stock android has a MyLibrary widget that I really like, but it's not available if I'm running the nova launcher. Is there any way to get that specific widget when using nova launcher.?

Longitudinally disseminated spinal cord lesions (moth-eaten appearance) in varicella-zoster myelitis.
Department of Neurology, Sapporo City General Hospital, Japan.
Internal Medicine (Impact Factor: 0.97). 01/2011; 50(18):2059-60. Source: PubMed
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Myelitis is a rare complication of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection and is more prevalent in immunocompromised individuals. Clinical features, outcomes, and presentations vary. The aim of the current study was to compare the clinical presentations of our patients with those reported in the literature, and to evaluate the differences in clinical features between immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. A review of the literature on VZV myelitis was carried out by searching PUBMED from 1980 to 2012. Clinical features of our cases and those in the literature were compared. There were 5 cases at our hospital and 26 were reported in the literature. Seventeen patients were immunocompromised (54.8%), and most had acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Typical presentations (skin lesions followed by myelopathy at the corresponding level) were observed in 14 patients (45.2%). The immunocompromised patients were prone to atypical presentations (p<0.05). Outcomes were good in immunocompetent patients and relatively poor in immunocompromised patients (p<0.05). Anti-herpetic agents had no statistically significant effect on outcomes in immunocompromised patients (p=0.280), but could reduce mortality rate in AIDS patients (p<0.05). Immunocompromised individuals are susceptible to this disease, and prone to atypical presentations and poorer outcomes. Timely recognition and anti-herpes therapy may be beneficial to the outcomes. In the AIDS patients, anti-herpes therapy can reduce mortality effectively.Journal of the neurological sciences 05/2012; 318(1-2):19-24. · 2.32 Impact Factor - Revista Brasileira de Neurologia. 02/2014; 50(1):1-3.

NZ Herald on economy
January 2nd, 2015 at 3:00 pm by David FarrarThe Herald editorial:
The dawn of a new year invites the mind to entertain endless possibilities, especially in a country so lucky. New Zealand enters 2015 with its dollar nearly as valuable as that of the signature "lucky country" next door. Three days ago Infratil and the New Zealand Superannuation Fund bought an Australian retirement village company for $670 million taking advantage of the rising kiwi. One swallow does not signal a summer of investment that would reverse the direction of transtasman ownership but it is another step of confidence.
When people rail against foreign investment, it is worth bearing in mind, that as our economy does well, it will be NZ companies investing overseas, and if we try and restrict foreign investment in NZ, then we risk being blocked ourselves.

I grew up in Alberta and have a wonderful family who live in both Canada and the States. I love learning and travelling, so I moved to the UK to study and after living in Scotland for an incredibly fantastic 7 years, I've just moved back to Canada! I'm excited to "rediscover" home and curious to see where the next phase of life will take me.
My faith, family, and friends are essential to my sense of wellbeing. As a teacher, I've been blessed with the opportunity to work with university students and ideas. Besides being passionate about education and literature, I like to be physically active and I love music. Whether it's attending concerts and gigs, playing cello in a band or an orchestra, or listening to it, I make music an important part of my day.
I love life and would love to share my life with someone. So if you'd like to know a bit more about me and you think I should know more about you, please don't be shy – just say hello!

AERT Announces Second Quarter 2010 Results
SPRINGDALE, Ark., Aug. 2, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:AERT) announced today that sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 were $23.2 million, up 5% from $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2009. Increased MoistureShield distribution and acceptance of new products contributed to the sales growth.
Second quarter gross margin improved 2.4 percentage points for 2010 over 2009 as tight cost control continued.
Selling and administrative costs for the quarter increased by $0.5 million or 1.3 percentage points of sales primarily due to increased promotional expenses.
The company recorded operating income of $2.5 million, a $0.3 million improvement over the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Last year a $0.3 million reversal of a late registration fee was recorded, increasing net income to $1.3 million, the same as the net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Commenting on the results, Joe Brooks, CEO of AERT noted, "A key goal for 2009 was to reduce AERT's overall cost structure and operating costs while maintaining our ability to react to market opportunities. We continue to work on this in 2010 and while our new recycling facility at Watts, Oklahoma is up and running we are implementing Phase II to effectively double it's capacity with the assistance of a 15 year, 3% interest loan for over $3 million sponsored by the State of Oklahoma under the ARRA State Energy Program."

Baseball, as we all know, is America's pastime. Canada? Not so much. That's why it wasn't too surprising that north of the border pop star Carly Rae Jepsen wasn't able to connect with the catcher when she threw out the ceremonial first pitch at yesterday's Houston Astros/Tampa Bay Rays game. However, it wasn't that simply that she didn't throw a strike to the catcher that has everyone talking. As you'll see in the video above, her first pitch might well go down in the annals as the Worst First Pitch In Baseball History. As Bob Uecker would say, "That one was JUUUUST a bit outside!"
This Carly Rae Jepsen And NIN Mashup Is Unholy, Yet Undeniable
We're already firmly on the record with our desire to leave "Call Me Maybe" in 2012 where it belongs, but we'll readily admit that there's a part of us that will never be able resist the lure of Carly Rae Jepsen's disco strings. That arrangement is so catchy and inspiring that it can even turn the material of an angst-ridden sourpuss like Trent Reznor into something that makes you think of nothing but puppies and rainbows.

Grammys 2013: Breaking Down Some Of The Lesser Known Categories
All week long here on VH1 Tuner, we've been outlining the 2013 Grammys favorites in the four major categories: Best New Artist, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Album Of The Year. With tomorrow night's broadcast of the 55th Annual Grammy Awards just over 24 hours away, we thought we'd take a look at some incredibly compelling races in some of the lesser known categories: Best Rap Song, Best Rap ALbum, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Album Notes.
Grammys 2013: Who Should Win Song Of The Year? [POLL]
If an artist wins the Grammy for Song of the Year, they've immediately been granted permission to stunt on everybody for at least a year with "Hi, I'm Grammy winner [insert name], and my song was, well, better than any other song that year." It'd be pretty obnoxious but the Recording Academy acknowledging your song as the best one for the year is clutch. Read more…
The Numbers Are In: Adele, Gotye And Jack White Top Year-End Sales Charts
Nielsen SoundScan numbers are in and the final tallies have been arrived at, and so it seems that 2012′s biggest sellers are Gotye, Jack White and of course Adele. Is anybody surprised?
Taylor Swift put up a good fight late in the year, as did One Direction (who have two albums ranking in the top five) and Mumford & Sons. But once again none could top Adele, whose much beloved 2011 album 21 sold another 4.41 million copies this year to top year-end album sales for the second year in a row (just as she did on iTunes). The blustery Brit's staying power is impressive, but we can't imagine that there are enough people left of this earth of ours still sans 21 to enable her to keep this up for a third year. But perhaps she could put out a new album that might earn her another two years at the top?
12 Songs From 2012 That We Hope We Never Hear In 2013
As Times Square gets ready for the influx of hundreds of thousands of revelers here to celebrate the arrival of 2013 Anno Domini, the Korean sensation PSY is plotting to retire his massive YouTube hit, "Gangnam Style." "Being in Times Square on New Year's Eve is already special — it's the biggest stage in the universe — plus it's my birthday, so, with all that, it may be the ending of 'Gangnam Style,'" PSY told our friends over at MTV News. "I mean, what better way to do it?"
We couldn't agree more! As much as we loved "Gangnam Style" when we first saw it appear on YouTube, we have no reservations whatsoever about retiring the song in 2013 because, let's face it, the song is #PLAYEDOUT. In that spirit, here's our list of other songs from 2012 that we hope to hear tonight and will always recall fondly, but honestly hope to never hear again once the sun rises tomorrow morning.
12. The Lumineers, "Ho Hey" – After thousands of listens, "Ho! Hey!" is starting to turn into "No! Way!"
11. Neon Trees, "Everybody Talks" – It started with a whisper, but when we hear this song on the radio now, it makes us wanna shout "CHANGE THE CHANNEL!"
10. One Direction, "Little Things" – We can't remember a more passive-aggressive song ever getting this much airplay. #cringeworthy

2012′s Most Memorable One-Liners In Music
Whether it arrives via an artist's song lyrics, ad-libs or in the form of a routine sound while performing on stage, your favorite rappers and singers are constantly dropping consumable anecdotes for the masses. If they're lucky, these catchphrases are repeated and mimicked often enough to eventually be added to the popular-culture lexicon, used as amusing mantras for us all to drop in text messages and into tweets as #hashtags. Some might even make it into the dictionary.
This year, especially, delivered a treasure trove of jack-able artist quotes, and while you might wish that most of these never make it into 2013, we present you with a nostalgic look at this year in music verbiage: 2012′s Most Memorable One-Liners.
We've seen the tattoos and we've heard the stories of it tragically back-firing, so there's certainly no denying that Drake's (or Rick Ross'?) You Only Live Once motto wasn't one of the biggest this year.
2. "(Pop A) Molly"
We can all rattle off a list of rappers who (over)used this designer drug reference in 2012, but here's hoping that Meek, Kanye, French, Trinidad James, Ross and others can find a new addiction to flaunt come January 1.
3. "Oh God"
Like a cheerleader for himself, Detroit's G.O.O.D Music member Big Sean knows how to announce himself before spitting a verse. Alternate spellings include gawd and gaud.
Online Sensations Of 2012 That Made Us Cry From Laughter, Smile From Joy
It's a good year when a video of the leader of the free world singing Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" is uploaded to YouTube. President Obama's very good Al Green attempt wasn't the only video that had us clicking. Strange things happen when cell phones with video recorders meet the Internet. And this is why we're most thankful to the almighty YouTube gods.
It's been one hell of a year for online sensations. Going viral isn't a prerequisite to making our list of the year's best online videos. It's not about the number of Internet scavengers who viewed a whacky video (although it's a pretty good indicator of how great a phenomena it is). Whatever made us laugh until our bellies ached, smile so hard while thinking, 'How cuuuute!' or made us hit the replay button more than once, it made the list. From Jay-Z explaining who he was to an elderly woman on the subway to a grandma dancing to Tyga's "Rack City," we loved it all.
Music's Biggest Breakout Stars Of 2012
We're three days away from ending 2012– the year the Mayan's math didn't quite add up–with a bang. Before we bid this year adieu we've documented the Best Ofs for the past 12 months; so during the next predicted Apocalypse rears its false head, we'll reminisce on the Crunkest Songs of 2012 or 2012′s 8 Most Underated Singles or the Best Songs of 2012.
Our countdown continues with the 12 of Music's Breakout Stars of 2012. It's been a glorious year musically with diverse projects by promising new artists. While Frank Ocean's stardom is no surprise, who would've expected PSY to sing with Bieber's manager Scooter Braun? Meek Mill sketched his name in cement as one of hip-hop's brightest stars this year transitioning from mixtape storyteller to mainstream success. How good 2013 will treat these breakout stars is unforeseeable, but with raised glasses let's all toast to the year of stars coming out (no pun intended). Read more…

From Ballotpedia
Arizonans For Healthcare Freedom | |
Website: | UShealthfreedomcoalition.com |
Arizonans For Healthcare Freedom is the group that conceived the Arizona Healthcare Freedom Act, prop. 106. The idea for prop. 106 was created by the Chairman Dr. Eric Novack in 2006. The organization's goal "is to influence and mobilize thought and policy leaders and their supporters locally and nationally to the battle to protect individual rights in this arena, including the extensive promotion of these groups with local and national media of all types."[1]
Two major rights to be protected
- The right of individuals to be able to spend their own money to access and receive lawful health care services (and for providers to legally give that care and receive compensation).
- The right of individuals to choose to not participate in any health care system or plan without a penalty or fine.[2]
- The organization is run by Chairman Novack.

We have been going regularly to the Bangkok for 15 + years and it is without question the best Thai food in DownEast Maine. We love it!
We have always loved the Bangkok Restaurant but were very disappointed last sunday (Nov. 23) when we went there for lunch. First and foremost I have to commend the server (the owner's daughter) who was ALONE in the front of the house. She did a phenomenal job waiting on all the tables, running take-out, ringing people up, seating everyone and... More
My wife and I had dinner at Bangkok Restaurant. I had Pad Thai and she had Chicken With Cashew Nuts. Both meals were prepared with fresh ingredients and made and spiced to order. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and staff is very friendly.
We're familiar with several Thai restaurants in the greater Boston area. Thai food is one of our favorite cuisines. We were traveling in Maine and wanted a change from all that seafood so we thought we would try the Bangkok in Ellsworth, Maine. The place was very clean, almost over-decorated, and comfortable, but the food wasn't what we would identify... More
We have eaten here three times. The first was excellent, the 2nd was so so and this time was excellent as well. Prior to going we checked the reviews for 2014 just to make certain that the experience of others was very good, and it was. Mmmmmm Tom Yum soup. Egg rolls so so and the main courses were excellent.... More
After visiting a lovely fishing village called Sorrento in Maine and after stopping at L.L.Bean outlet store, we went to the Bangkok Thai restaurant for lunch. It is housed in a nondescript building, but once you open the intricately carved doors, you enter another world. Even the young, slender waitress is wearing a pencil skirt of Thai silk with little... More
One of my favorite places. The restaurant is always attractive and clean, and the food is very good. The staff is excellent -- they remember us and know what we want and are friendly and fun to talk with. I highly recommend this restaurant.
It is hard to know where to start when singing the praises of Bangkok Restaurant. The ambience is great--beautiful Thai artwork and hand carved furniture. The rooms are well lighted and clean. The service is polite, friendly and accomodating. Most importantly, the food is outstanding. We have been to many Thai restaurants on the East Coast and this restaurant tops... More
The customer is always treated like a VIP and the food is as fresh as it gets. The owner/head chef comes out of the kitchen on breaks to meet and great like you were a long time friend or family member. Moreover, her Thai food is the best I have ever had in a Thai restaurant. My favorites are traditional... More
Had lunch here with spouse. A nice change from where they use to be located. We shared the Fried Spring rolls. I had the Vegetable soup. We both had the Bamboo Shoots, me with chicken and spouse with beef. Chai tea was good, and for dessert we had coconut ice cream with pineapples. I thought the service was great. Meal... More

Sally Beauty Holdings Raises Over $1.3 Million For Susan G. Komen For The Cure®
DENTON, Texas, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. is proud to announce that it has raised over $1.3 million for Susan G. Komen for the Cure® during the first year of its partnership with the breast cancer charity. From April 2011 through March 2012, Sally Beauty Holdings and its operating units Sally Beauty Supply and CosmoProf raised funds for Komen through a 5% donation of the sales price of designated products, as well as by collecting donations at the register in its stores. All Sally Beauty Holdings' U.S.-based operating units and many of its suppliers and manufacturers participated in the fundraising program.
"We are thrilled to partner with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world's leading breast cancer organization. Komen Founder and CEO Nancy G. Brinker's commitment to the promise she made her sister, Susan G.

Customers were involved in this effort by purchasing designated products in Sally Beauty Supply stores in the U.S. this past October. Five percent of the sales price was donated to Susan G. Komen. Additionally, consumers were invited to join the cause year round by placing donations in canisters at the registers in U.S. Sally Beauty Supply stores. Since September 2011, purchase of any of the designated products in CosmoProf and Armstrong McCall stores triggered a donation to Komen of 5% of the sales price. Additionally, donations were accepted at the register in over 1,100 CosmoProf and Armstrong McCall stores.

Dear all,
Attched below in the circuit of my velleman kit pre amplifier. The specs of this amp seem fine, but i have never been happy with the sound. It sounds bright and washed out. Being new to tubes, i would like some sugestions as to what i can do to improve the design. The things that seem odd to me are:- 1. The three coupling capacitors vary greatly in value, with the coupling capacitor between the stages being very small in my opinion (C19?) 2. I undertand the first stage to be a simple anode follower, however why is the second stage cathode coupled, why is it there at all,as i believe the first stage provides the gain, is it meant to reduce output imedance? 3. how is feedback applied. I hope you can help! Jim |

I suppose that relay and transistor vary the overall gain by 6 dB by shortcircuiting the bottom cathode resistor of the first stage. Cheers,

You could try bypassing the cathode resistors in the first stage, try putting a 100uF 25V cap across R13 and another across R17...
Also C18 (the 68n 630V) could be increased a bit, try doubling it and see how you go. |

bypassing R13, R17
Wouldn't you loose the function of the +6db switch all together if you bypass both at the same time? If you were to go that route wouldn't it be better to drop R17 and the relay altogether? IMHO I would change R15 to 56k or 100k and C18 to 100n or leave as is (68n). 5.6k seems like an awfully low load for a cathode follower! I will do simulation of the circuit and see what I come up with. Wayne |

The 68nF cap couples into a 10M impedance, surely that's big enough. The 5K6 bleeder is a load resistor forcing a constant current through the circuit. Why it sounds as described I don't know, the time constants through the RC networks seem fine... Cheers,

5k6 bleeder
Hi Frank
If you've noticed, that 5k6 resistor is after the output coupling capacitor. You wouldn't use this preamp to drive a Sand Amp with a 5k input imp. ? It's the just the same. Distortion will rise, sound would be tinny and output voltage would be limited. I would'nt use this preamp to drive any load lower than 20k at best let alone 5 kilo ohm. I did quite a few sims and with that 5k6 bleeder resistor: Output @ 1kHz = 8.7db, down 3db @5.4 Hz. With 100k or 56k bleeder: Output @1 kHz 10.3db, down 3db @ 0.5 Hz. Also much less phase shift at lower freq. as expected. I have never seen such a low output cap bleeder. I've seen this with IC opamps and some SS circuitry. Maybe with a White cathode follower you could drive a 10k load. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would change that resistor! Cheers Wayne |

Hi James,
Looking at C18 (and R16, 10, 11), no wonder it sounds thin. Should be much larger if you want descent lows and flesh on the "faces". The other two caps also form high pass filters too. Increasing C18 will help lows but be careful of possible motorboating from weak power supply design. If this happens, will have to lessen value of C18. Would try to give it 6db leeway in this regard. Also might try getting rid of C17. If I remember correctly, Velleman is rather inexpensive, so you may not be able to do alot without major modifications. |

R15 is even worse, 5.6k?! Increase it alot, even to 220k or more if desired without harm, and see how it sounds. Shouldn't be any motorboating problems as this resistor is "out" of the circuit design that could cause motorboating.
Touch up C18 later, if you need to. |

The scan is bad but as far as I can tell the top of R10 and R16 is not connected together. Why would they be anyway? So C18 is seeing R10 + R11. That's over 10M. Cheers,
Frank |

Case | HBS Case Collection | July 2012 (Revised January 2014) HGRM: Bringing Back High Touch Hospitality Lynda M. Applegate and Gabriele Piccoli The case centers on the dilemma faced by Carlo Fontana, the owner-operator of a small chain of two four-star urban hotels located in Lugano, Switzerland, and the other in Milan, Italy. Having developed an extensive customer service and operations information system, called Happy Guests Relationship Management, Fontana is entertaining the possibility of commercializing his innovation. Doing so may provide a welcome new source of income during the greatest economic slowdown in recent history, and it would help in keeping the HGRM design and development team motivated to refine and improve the solution. However, commercializing the innovation may also stretch his organization too thin and bring his team into a business, the software industry, completely foreign to them.

Case | HBS Case Collection | December 2014 Groupon: A New CEO Takes Charge Lynda M. Applegate and Arnold B. Peinado On August 7, 2013, Eric Lefkofsky, the chairman and largest shareholder of Groupon was named CEO, replacing founder Andrew Mason, who had run the company since its inception in 2009. When Groupon had its initial public offering (IPO) in November 2011, the company's stock was offered at $20 a share. When Lefkofsky took over from Mason, the company was worth about a quarter of the IPO price and some technology experts were predicting that Groupon could well go bankrupt. Lefkofsky faced the challenge of turning Groupon into one of the major Internet companies that many predicted it would be. What lessons could Groupon learn from successful Internet companies, like Amazon, Google, LinkedIn and Facebook? How could it incorporate those lessons into a unique strategy that would enable the company to fulfill its early promise?

CES 2013: iSpO2 pulse oximeter for iDevices
Masimo makes medical-grade pulse oximeters, which measure the amount of oxygen in your blood. Now available (for US$249) is the iSpO2, a more consumer-grade model for athletes and aviators who need to track their O2 levels but aren't using it for a medical need.
Like the Tinke, which we covered last year, the iSpO2 will track your O2 levels over time via a companion iOS app. Unlike the Tinke, the app is actually quite good. The hardware is also outstanding, with Masimo taking its expertise in medical gear and making a less expensive version for consumers. You just clip one end to your finger (which you've no doubt seen in hospitals or TV shows about hospitals), then attach it to an iOS device and use the app to start tracking.
Another advantage over Tinke is this provides continuous monitoring, key for athletes needing to see how their oxygenation levels are doing over time.
Engadget has a gallery and hands-on if you're interested in seeing it in action.

Alcoholic dessert

Anyoen have any dessert recipes that'll also get you drunk? or drunk-ish? or at least seem slightly risque? no cooking of the booze allowed--must be present and effective in final product.
re: christineb
i was thinking of some small amount of cooking. i once had some sort of dip that involved kahlua, pudding, and whipped cream and you dipped bananas in. i think. maybe along those lines?
Lemon sorbet served in a glass with a shot of quality vodka poured over top! OR fresh berries served in a cup with limoncello and lemon zest (or grand marnier and orange zest)! This one's not really alcohol IN the dessert... but I always LOVE a rich flourless chocolate cake served with a cup of Bailey's and coffee.

re: pilotgirl210
Oh I once had fresh berries that were layered like this in a tall large wine glass:
Strawberries soaked in Grand Marnier and a little sugar, then a layer of raspberries the same way, then blackberries, topped with strawberries and GrandMarnier was ALL over the beries, then topped with a light whip cream, and a long spoon.I know that I was tipsy when I finished that dessert, and I wasn't willing to share, it was excellent!!
re: chef chicklet
I've made similar parfaits. Between the berries I layer some vanilla ice cream. Pour more Grand Manier and top with whipped cream.

re: andytee
Hollow out large sweet oranges, save pulp. Fill orange cavities with orange gelato or sorbett and add at least a jigger of vodka to each. Freeze. Remove all membranes and strings from pulp, briefly process in food processor - with more vodka. Fold pulp/vodka mixture through whipped cream to use to decorate dessert plates and top forzen oranges.

Haute Hot Dog Toppings
by Guest Blogger in View All Posts, June 16th, 2010I think summertime is all about haute hot dogs hot off the grill! Living in New York City, I have found that street vendors have really upped their hot dog toppings game. My best friend introduced me to Summer Saturdays at the Brooklyn Flea, which has an amazing hot dog vendor called Asia Dog. The varied toppings on their organic beef dogs are out of this world! They serve them with everything from spicy kimchi to exotic daikon and cilantro deliciousness.
Sadly I cannot make a trip to the Brookyn Flea every Saturday, but I have learned to dress up my dogs at home. Michael Chiarello's quick pickle relish is a ramped-up classic that takes only minutes to prepare. It includes diced dill pickles, hot sweet mustard, pickle brine and fresh chopped dill. The simplicity of this will liven up your spread, and the fresh dill will give it a garden-fresh flavor.
And if you really want to turn up the heat I would try Tyler Florence's Spicy Slaw. The crunch of the fresh green cabbage and spicy red chili peppers will make any hot dog dance in your mouth!
What are your favorite hot dog toppings?
