Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
- Bob Dylan
The times were rapidly changing when Bob Dylan authored those lyrics 50 years ago. The leaders of the civil rights movement were demanding an end to the long accepted injustice that relegated people to second-class citizenship because of the tint of their skin, risking and sometimes giving their lives for the cause.
In the 1960s the younger generation would challenge many of the precepts of their parents and grandparents - that America's wars were to be supported right or wrong, that women had to keep their place, that material acquisitions in a suburban home were the measure of success.
In June 1969, as that tumultuous decade ended, a series of violent demonstrations against police raids on gay bars in Greenwich Village, New York City - the Stonewall Riots - marked one of the first times homosexuals outwardly challenged a legal system that sanctioned their persecution.
The times, of course, are always changing, and not always for the better. The counter-culture movement of the 1960s embraced drug use, and ultimately abuse, ruining many lives. Criticism of a war led to a hurtful and misguided condemnation of those obligated to fight it by law or sense of duty. For most young people, the rejection of materialism proved fleeting and not terribly practical.
But the aspiration toward a society that treats people equally and with equal opportunity is a change that has endured. A photo published Tuesday by The Day of a routine though wonderful event long part of the culture of southeastern Connecticut - the return of a submarine after a long tour of duty - was a reminder that the times are again changing and in ways some "can't understand."
The photo, also the subject of the opening of the news story, was familiar - a sailor on bended knee surprising his beloved with a dockside proposal upon returning ashore. But there was a difference; the sailor and the object of his ardor were both men.
It was a scene once unimaginable, but then, so too was the prospect of racially integrated military units. Two years ago Congress ended the duplicitous "don't ask, don't tell" policy that allowed homosexuals to serve their nation and risk their lives, but only if they kept a major part of their identity secret.
This is the far better way.
The photo - provided by a U.S. Navy photographer - jolted some of our readers. Using the reader comments tool on theday.com, a reader, identified as "Chuck," commented on an earlier version of the story, one with no reference to the photo of the proposal. It instead carried a more traditional illustration of a baby running into a dad's arms.
"I just wish every kid from middle school through the 12 grade could see what the benefits are for bearing down in school and keeping their noses clean. You young men are the best there is. Welcome home and a job well done," he wrote.
Chuck was aghast when his comments remained as the story was updated, with the photo of a man proposing to a man.
"It went from a good story about a ship returning to homeport from deployment to another politically motivated Gay agenda story," wrote Chuck, demanding an apology from theday.com for having kept his comments up with the revised coverage.
This news organization's only agenda is to reflect a changing society, one that still welcomes home young men who are the best there is and acknowledges their job well done, but no longer demands they hide who they are.
Expect more changes, Chuck. The Navy is moving ahead with its plan to integrate enlisted women into the submarine service. Female officers are reporting for duty aboard the large, ballistic-missile submarines. By 2015 the Navy expects to assign women officers to attack submarines, the kind stationed at the Groton base.
Anticipate more welcome-home photos not seen before, reflecting change for the better.

In a recent Q&A, Nintendo Nintendo President Satoru Iwata made it very clear that the company isn't heading off a cliff despite its recent fiscal news. Nintendo posted big losses and missed sales targets for both the Wii U and 3DS this past fiscal year, which sparked a lot of speculation in the press about if the company could recover. Even compared to periods when Nintendo has struggled in the past, the current situation has seemed particularly dire.
Iwata specifically said that Nintendo is hard at work on new hardware, as they usually are, and they aren't out of ideas yet.
"The most difficult question for us to answer in public in concrete terms is when we are going to launch our new hardware and what kind of hardware we are going to launch, and I am afraid that I cannot talk about this in more detail," said Iwata. "However, I can certainly assure you that we are not at a dead end of any kind in which we are out of ideas for developing new hardware."
But what about the Wii U, which is causing so many profitability problems for them?
"We will continue to work hard to ensure that consumers who already own our platforms are satisfied, and make sure that people will continue to see great value in our software," said Iwata, "but I would like to say that we are preparing for our next hardware system, and in fact, we already have a clear idea to some extent about the direction our next hardware is going to take."
There are a few options for the mystery hardware here as I see it.
1) A new console
2) A new handheld
3) Nintendo's new "Quality of Life" tech
Or really, it could be combination of any of those, even though Nintendo said their QoL plans weren't specifically related to video games. And as cool as it may be, a joint console-handheld system might be a bit too cannibalistic for Nintendo.
The logical answer from Iwata's phrasing here is some sort of new home console to replace the floundering Wii U, but history would say that would be quite a tight timetable. The Wii was released in 2006 and the Wii U in 2012. It takes a good amount of time to fashion something as complex as a new console, if Nintendo was shooting for something like a 2015/2016 release, that could feel a bit rushed.
Or, it could Erik Kain's dream Nintendo console that he spoke about a few months ago. His idea was that Nintendo could develop a new home system that would drop in essentially the middle of the PS4/Xbox One console generation. It could leapfrog the power of those two with extra development time, and offer a Nintendo system that plays not only its amazing stable of first party games (have you seen those new Mario Kart reviews?) and also any third party hit from popular multiplatform series (many of which are currently dodging the Wii U).
I'm a little less optimistic in my forecast. I don't think that that there's any way Nintendo can hope to best the power of the PS4/Xbox One, even if they have a few extra years to debut a mid-generation console. It took them nearly six years for the Wii U to more or less equal the capabilities of the PS3/360. I think it would be extremely ambitious to say they could equal the power of the PS4/One in three/four years, and I don't think it's physically possible for Nintendo to actually surpass them in that time frame.
Rather, if Nintendo really is planning a new home console, I think the graphics and performance will improve modestly, yet they will mostly rely on yet another gameplay input device to set themselves apart from their competitors. The Wii succeeded because motion controls made the game a huge phenomenon for a time (albeit a passing fad). The Wii U is largely failing because its big gamble, the gamepad, adds a lot of cost to the system and not much benefit. I think Nintendo will go back to the drawing board to invent another peripheral/primary input device that they believe will be a solid hit rather than a miss. I doubt they're sinking all their time into simply making the system more powerful, and releasing a Super Wii bundled with an Xbox-style "Pro" controller. That just isn't their style. They will try to innovate, for better or worse.
Video game companies are becoming pretty predictable these days. Activision will try to keep pumping out uber franchises. EA will try to keep seeking out every revenue stream known to man. Sony Sony will relax while occasionally trying to capitalize on trends they didn't start (VR, this time). Microsoft Microsoft will listen to their fans until every last kink is hammered out of the Xbox One.

Windows 7 comes with some powerful partitioning and defragging tools when compared to the earlier Windows versions. But there are lots of free and powerful tools available for Windows 7 to improve your hard drive performance.
Here is a list of 10 best hard drive utilities which are really useful and free.
1. EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition
Arguably the best disk partition software out there. It's a freeware which includes the partition manager, disk & partition copy wizard and partition recovery wizard on MBR and GUID partition table. It allows users to re-size or move partition, extend system drive, split partition, merge partitions, copy disk & partition, redistribute free disk space, partition recovery and much more.
The free version covers just about everything a normal user required. What's missing compared to the $40 pay version is support for server and 64-bit operating systems, tech support, and the ability to create a boot CD.
EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition Download Link 1
EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition Download Link 2
They are currently running a giveaway and you can get the Professional version for free by just sharing the Giveaway page in Facebook, Twitter, and any other social network sites. Go here to get the Professional Version.
2. UltraDefrag
UltraDefrag is a free, easy-to use-utility that defragments files and optimizes their placement on your hard drive. It comes with Windows graphic interface and a command line interface.
Using UltraDefrag is simple, when use it via the Windows interface. Simply select the drive you want to analyze, defragment, or optimize and press the right button. You can also schedule it to defrag or optimize during the Windows boot sequence. This utility comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Download Link – UltraDefrag
3. Disk Space Fan
Disk Space Fan helps you to free up disk space by easily searching and deleting big, unwanted files and folders. It will show the disk space usage with a simple chart. You can browse the folders easily just by clicking on them. Disk Space Fan is also incorporated with Windows Explorer so that you can open, delete and browse unwanted files or folders.
Download – Disk Space Fan
4. HD Tune
HD Tune is a free hard drive information utility. It can be used to measure the drive's performance, scan for errors, retrieves the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) and securely erase all data.
The HD Tune benchmark consists of simple read tests performed across the hard disk surface starting from the outside of the disk and moving to the inside. You'll notice the drop in throughput (bad) and access times (good) as the head moves towards the inside of the disk. You can run the benchmark on an SSD but you might as well stop a quarter of the way through–an SSD can access any part of its memory in the same amount of time.
Download – HD Tune
5. Recuva
If you have deleted a file accidentally or something malicious like a worm or virus has done it for you, Recuva will bring it. It's a great small undelete program, possibly the best on the market. Recuva is the only free recovery software I've found in this category.
Recuva has a nice-looking, simple interface as well as a wizard that will walk you through the recovery/undelete process. There are options for what type of files to search for as well as whether to enable the deep scan (sector scan) that will find files on damaged or reformatted disks.
If you just want a good un-delete program with a small disk footprint at free cost, then Recuva is what you're looking for.
Download – Recuva
Have you used any of these utilities before? How was your experience with those? Do you aware of any other great Windows 7 utility available for free? Let us know in comments.

Last season was the year for Chris Tillman. After three years where he was shuttling between Norfolk and Baltimore, Tillman finally established himself as a major league starter—for now.
Tillman, who was just 7-15 in parts of those first three seasons, went 9-3 in 2012, justifying the Orioles' patience in him. Working with organizational pitching guru Rick Peterson, Tillman had a strong June in Norfolk and moved up to the Orioles.
Ever since the Orioles got him in the Adam Jones trade, Tillman has been teasing the team. Last season was probably his final chance with the organization, and after a rough start, he markedly improved.
Other teams have expressed interest in Tillman, and it's believed the Orioles could bite if they view the trade as a sure thing. Tillman is slotted as either the third or fourth starter along with Miguel Gonzalez, another pitcher who was strong in the season's second half.
The betting is that Tillman stays an Oriole. The team has invested too much and once it got a return last summer, they'll be eager to see more.
-For the third consecutive year, the Orioles will hold a golf tournament to benefit charities in Manatee County, Fla. On Feb. 20, the OriolesReach Birdland Golf Classic will be held at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club in Sarasota.
Manager Buck Showalter, J.J. Hardy, Jim Johnson, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters are scheduled to play. Registration and lunch begins at 11 a.m. and play begins at 12:30 p.m. Since the tournament began, the Orioles say it has raised $56,000 for the Miracle League of Manasota.
The deadline for entering is Feb. 6. Golfers wishing to participate should call 941-225-2966 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

STATE COLLEGE, PA.- The No. 6-seeded University of New Hampshire women's gymnastics team placed where it was seeded, sixth, at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships held on April 3 in Rec Hall on the campus of Penn State University.
The top two teams, Georgia and Michigan, advanced to the NCAA National Championship meet, which will be held on April 15-17 at UCLA.
Georgia won the meet with a team score of 197.525, followed by Michigan (196.375), Iowa State, (196.15), Penn State (196.075), Missouri (194.4) and the Wildcats (194.125).
The Wildcats, by the luck of the draw, got its normal home rotation, starting on vault, followed by a bye, then bars, a bye, then beam and finishing with the floor exercise.
In vault, which has been one of UNH's best events in 2004, the Wildcats hit all six of their attempts and completed the event with an impressive mark of 49.05, just shy of their season-high mark of 49.1. Leading the was for the 'Cats was sophomore all-arounder Amanda Hall (Bremerton, Wash.) and freshman all-arounder Heather Moore (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) as each posted team-highs of 9.85. Only one UNH score that counted was below 9.8 in the vault.
Following a bye, UNH moved to the uneven bars, suffered a fall, but did not count it in the scoring, as the lowest score drops out. Leading the team in the event was senior all-arounder Jen Dickson (Salisbury, Md.), who posted a 9.725. Also performing well was sophomore Mariana Pena Trestini (Valencia,Venezuela) with a judgement of 9.7.
At this point in the meet, all six teams had completed two events and UNH was sitting in fifth place with a two-event score of 97.35. The leader was Georgia with a 98.75, followed by Penn State (98.625), Michigan (98.4), Iowa State (97.55). the Wildcats (97.35) and Missouri (97.075).
UNH immediately moved to balance beam after bars and the Wildcats counted a fall in this event but posted some solid performances at the top of their rotation. Leading the way was Hall with a top team score of 9.825, followed closely by Dickson with a 9.8.
At this point in the meet UNH was holding off Missouri and the team's performance on floor would determine if UNH would finish higher than it was originally seeded. Missouri performed well on vault in rotation five of the meet with their best event score of the night (49.25), putting pressure on UNH to perform extremely well in the final rotation on floor. After three events UNH recorded a team total of 145.3, while Missouri finished the meet in the fifth rotation with a final team score of 194.4
As it turned out, UNH fell short of Missouri, despite hitting all six of their routines. Leading the team on floor was Dickson, posting a 9.825. Hall, Pena Trestini and Moore all were not far behind with high scores of 9.8.
Hall finished with a 39.1 in the all-around to lead UNH, while Dickson checked in with a 39.075 and Moore finished with a four-event total of 38.525.

Lady Hawks can't hold off Panthers
- Release Date:
- February 20, 2008

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – The University of Pitt-Bradford women's basketball team broke a 51-51 tie with a 13-3 run over the final 3:00 minutes to hold off Hilbert College 64-54 Wednesday night. With the loss, the Hawks fall to 0-24 overall and 0-17 in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) as they head into Saturday's finale at Medaille College.
Hilbert held a 37-36 lead at the half after holding a 10-point lead four different times. The strong play of senior forward Amanda McHale (Bradford, PA/Archbishop Walsh) helped the Hawks shoot better than 46% over the first 20:00. Fellow senior Kaitlyn Miller (Depew, NY/Depew) and sophomore Courtney DeVille (Kenmore, NY/Kenmore West) combined to drain five of nine three-pointers to spark the offense.
The Hawks remained in control for much of the second half, but scored just three points over the final 9:07 of play. Katie Moore sank six of the Panthers' eight free throws over the final 00:55 to ice the win and propel the visitors to 5-19, 3-14.
The Hilbert loss wipes out an outstanding performance from McHale who finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds, and a game-high five assists. Miller finished with 15 points, all from beyond the arc as the Hawks played a neat game with 16 assists to just 13 turnovers.
Moore finished with 20 markers for the winners who also got 19 points and 10 rebounds from Michelle Kushner.
Hilbert will conclude the 2007-08 season with Saturday's 1:00 pm game against the #16 Mavericks.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Samira Said back and "Still" looking hotter than ever peeps!
After a four-year absence from the spotlight, Moroccan singer Samira Said is making a strong comeback with her latest music video "Mazal" (Still), which was directed by Hadi Al Bajouri.
Samira gave her fans a lil' sneak peek on what's to come by posting a number of stills from the video on Facebook.
According to Laha Magazine, Samira appears in four different looks in the video, ranging between classical and modern. Samira stays true to her roots and sports a traditional Moroccan dress in one the shots as well.
The song was written, composed and distributed by Muhsin Tizaf. The much-anticipated video was filmed over a period of two days in Al Mansouria, Egypt.
You'll be able to watch "Mazal" in a few days' time!
On a different note, Samira has not yet decided on a final date to launch her new album, which will be personally funded and produced by Samira herself.

President Obama's campaign has spent more than $300 million on television advertising, according to new figures compiled by sources watching the ad market, an amount that puts him on track to nearly double his own record-breaking spending from the 2008 election cycle.
Battleground Ad Spending
All told, Obama, Republican Mitt Romney and the various outside groups have poured $759 million into television and radio advertisements alone in an effort to communicate their messages with the tiny fraction of voters who remain undecided with just five weeks to go before Election Day. For the week of October 2 to October 8 alone, the two sides are spending a combined $59 million.
Obama's spending continues to outpace Romney's own campaign. This week, Obama will spend $20 million on television spots, including nearly $5 million alone in Florida, $4.3 million in Ohio and $3.9 million in Virginia. Obama spent about $230 million on television advertising during the 2008 cycle. If he continues to spend at this pace – about $20 million per week – Obama's campaign will end the race at or above $400 million on television alone.
Romney, who will spend almost $16 million this week, has allocated $3.8 million to Ohio, $3.4 million in Ohio and $2.4 million in Virginia.
Romney is outspending Obama by small margins in Iowa, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
But outside groups on the Republican side continue to make up Romney's deficit. Combined, Republicans are outspending Obama and his allies in every battleground state except New Hampshire and Virginia.
American Crossroads is the biggest outside actor of the week, dumping $12.4 million into eight battleground states. The super PAC headed by Karl Rove and former RNC chairman Mike Duncan is nearly matching Romney's buy in Florida, outspending Obama in North Carolina and pouring nearly $2 million into Ohio. By comparison, Crossroads is spending more than three times the $3.8 million doled out this week by Priorities USA Action, the Democratic super PAC run by two former top aides to President Obama.
There are signs that Priorities has had trouble raising money at the pace they once predicted. The group has cancelled $4.5 million in advertising they had planned to run in Wisconsin and Florida over the next month. Democrats have characterized those cancellations as a routine reshuffling of priorities and said the money will go instead to Nevada, but records show the group has cut its total ad buys before Election Day by about $5 million.
Even though he's being outspent, Federal Communications Commission rules allowed Obama to actually run more advertisements than Republican groups. Candidates are allowed to pay the lowest rate available for advertisements, while outside groups like super PACs must pay market rates. That means candidate dollars are more valuable than outside dollars.
As demand spikes with just five weeks to go, those market rates are skyrocketing. Last week, a candidate could buy a gross ratings point – the unit measuring how widely an advertisement is seen – for about $180 in the Las Vegas, Nevada market, while an outside group had to fork over $600 per point. A candidate paid $115 per point in Cincinnati, while outside groups paid $330. And candidates spent $105 for television time on Manchester, New Hampshire's WMUR, while outside groups had to fork over $500 per point. A similar pattern is being repeated in television markets across the country.
All told, Republicans and Romney's campaign have combined to spend $396 million on television time since the beginning of the general election, while Obama and his Democratic allies have spent $363 million. Voters in three states – Florida, Ohio and Virginia – have seen more than $120 million in television advertising, while voters in Colorado, North Carolina and Iowa have all been inundated with more than $50 million in air time.

When Bob Fritz took a test drive, the salesman offered him more than an ordinary spin down I-70. Fritz went flying and bouncing over logs and 5-foot berms on an obstacle course next to the dealership.
It was a tough introduction, but Fritz had had enough of the Olds 98 he was trading in. The vehicle he coveted was anything but your father's Oldsmobile. The retired oil-company executive from Town & County was trying out a Hummer -- a veritable minitank that replaced the Army's Jeep in the early '80s and hit the civilian marketplace in 1992. The vehicle first struck the public imagination during Operation Desert Storm, when it was called by its proper military name, the High Mobility Multipurpose Vehicle, or Humvee. Fritz had seen a Hummer on television, and he just had to have one.
Equally at home in the Arctic and the desert, the Hummer can go most anywhere, though not very quickly. With a top speed of 90 mph, the Hummer does zero to 60 in 18 seconds -- a sluglike time. It gets about a dozen miles to the gallon and costs more than $100,000. But Fritz doesn't care. Six years after that first test drive, he still remembers the day. "It was an experience like you've never had before," he recalls.
Fritz, who has since traded in that first Hummer for a newer model with a turbocharger, was hooked on the Hummer at Jim Lynch Hummer, a dealership just west of O'Fallon, Mo., that has quietly become the world's top seller of what is perhaps the biggest status symbol on wheels. You wouldn't know it from driving by. Just off Exit 214 on I-70, the entire dealership -- showroom, offices and service garage -- fits into a giant steel prefab building barely visible from the highway. Though utilitarian, the nondescript enterprise is the exact opposite of what a Hummer is known for: a loud proclamation that the driver is different, a rugged individualist in the mold of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, pitcher Randy Johnson and goofball Dennis Rodman, all of whom drive Hummers and don't mind crappy factory paint jobs and 3-foot-wide transmission humps separating drivers and passengers. Boxer Mike Tyson owns four Hummers.
The typical Hummer owner is male, not afraid to take risks, and rich. Lynch, who vows he won't be undersold, advertises a Hummer with a $106,543 MSRP for $88,900. He estimates that 10 percent of his customers regularly drive their Hummers off-road, and at 7,200 pounds (four times the weight of a Chevy Metro) and 16 inches off the ground (half-a-foot higher than other production SUVs), these trucks can take it. Built to withstand drops from military airplanes, Hummers can ford rivers up to 30 inches deep, ramble across seemingly impassable gullies and even go through brick walls (check out "Stupid Hummer Tricks" and "Are Hummers Safe?" on Lynch's Web site, www.lynchhummer.com). Just 1,000 Hummers are produced each year, and Lynch, who sold 162 (including 71 used ones) last year, has the biggest share of the market. Competing against 50 other dealers across the nation, Lynch sells nearly twice as many as the next-biggest dealer, located in Arizona.
What's a dealership like this doing in a place like St. Louis, far from four-wheel country and Hollywood?
Once the general manager of a Toyota dealership owned by his father, Lynch got into the Hummer business shortly after buying one for himself in 1994. "I noticed that people would follow you into parking lots to talk to you about a Hummer," he recalls. "I decided then that the best form of advertising for us was going to be word-of-mouth advertising. So we started six years ago with the intention that we never wanted a customer to ever say anything bad about us."
Lynch seems to have met his no-complaints goal. When Bob Bish, Webmaster for www.humvee.net, polled Hummer enthusiasts a couple of years ago to find out what they thought of dealers, Jim Lynch came out on top. "Everyone rated him a 10 except for just one 9," Bish recalls. "Jim Lynch was far and away the best-rated one. I'm sure you'll find no one who has anything bad to say about Jim."
Lynch doesn't like to talk about his days selling Toyotas, but he does say he doesn't like the car-selling business, or at least the way it's commonly practiced -- too much attention to squeezing customers and hitting preset profit margins on every sale. Lynch Hummer is no common dealership, and Lynch has no plans to sell any other brand. Every employee, including his receptionist, has spent a week at AM General's Hummer plant in South Bend, Ind., to receive factory training on basic mechanics and driving techniques. "I think the mental state for car dealers is completely different than the way we look at things," Lynch says. "We do it differently, and we like the way we do it. I don't care if we make anything the first time someone comes in."
It may sound a bit like the usual car-dealer shtick, but Lynch customers do come back. Lynch has sold the same Hummer as many as four times, thanks to customers who have traded it in for newer models. Customers rave about everything from Lynch's prices to the dedication of his employees, who have been known to keep the dealership open late for out-of-town customers, who are personally greeted at the train station, which isn't necessarily surprising, considering a Hummer costs more than many houses in the St. Louis area.

Back in Paris for 15 days!
We are finally back in Paris from Sept 28 to October 13. Our last trip in May 2012 was 11 nights with our 8 year old grandson, so gourmet a/o adventurous dining took a back seat to picnics, crepes and Chez Clement, lol (although we did make it to West Country Girl, Jeanne A and another orgasmic lunch at LCJ ~ the last one just me and some like minded hounds).
So I need to catch up on my "list" without making myself sick with gluttony. I've tried to plan a good mix of old favourites, new finds, traditional bistros and more contemporary cuisine.
Here's how we will spend our Paris trip :)
Sept 28 ~ keeping it open as we'll be jet lagged. Probably easy lunch near our apartment on rue Bourg Tibourg and early dinner at Pizza Momo, a reliable place for a fast, cheap meal that we've enjoyed over the last few years
Sept 29 ~ Baron Rouge for lunch (hopefully the oysters are out) and Le Pere Claude with friends (their suggestion, not mine ~ hope it doesn't suck, lol)
Sept 30 ~ Septime (dinner)
Oct 1 ~ Pleine Mer for an early dinner before a Johnny Lang concert at New Morning
Oct 2 ~ Bistro Paul Bert (dinner)
Oct 3 ~ Au Petit Sud Ouest for lunch (for Den's foie gras fix) and maybe L'Avant Comptoir for some nibbles after walking off our foie gras and duck at D'Orsay
Oct 4 ~ lunch at Spring (5th time at Mr Rose's temple of gastronomy)
Oct 5 ~ dinner at another favourite, Au Vieux Comptoir in the 1st
Oct 6 ~ possible lunch at Jeanne B, dinner at Marie Celeste (going early enough to start with the 1 euro oysters, lol)
Oct 7 ~ dinner at Paul Bert 6
Oct 8 ~ Eurostar to London for the day. In 9 trips to Paris, this is only the second time we have left the city (went to Reims in the fall of 2010).
Oct 9 ~ dinner at Pirouette
Oct 10 ~ possible lunch at Dans les Landes w/friends, possible dinner at Pierre Sang Boyer or Bones ~ thoughts?
Oct 11 ~ lunch at Chez l'Ami Jean w/friends, Fleetwood Mac at Bercy, looking for some place very casual, open late, near the Omnisport Arena that doesn't suck after the concert. We'll probably still be really full from lunch, so maybe more of a cheese/charcuterie place
Oct 12 ~ last night ~ thinking of either Bones or Ober Sale. Thoughts?
I like to book most dinners to avoid the dreaded "where are we eating tonight" syndrome which often leads us to making last minute, ofter horrible decisions which are based on hunger and desperation. Our days will be spend walking and exploring different corners of Paris. Breakfasts are always croissant, pain au chocolat, yogurt and fruit with coffee in our apartment and lunches are easy and fast, except for the few I've booked.
That's it ~ we plan to hit Comme a Lisbonne for those wonderful Portuguese tarts and Georges Larnicol for his addictive little Kouign Amanns since our apartment is close to both.
So our only decisions are Pierre Sang Boyer or Bones, and Ober Sale or Bones. We enjoyed Henry James at Au Passage in 2011 but as always, so many places, so little time, lol
13 more sleeps until we leave! Trying not to wish my life away, but.....eeekkkk! Den's going to have to tie me down so I don't float away in the next 2 weeks.
Happy weekend, everyone!
Great for you, hope to see you.
Also hope weather improves, rained daily for a week now.
Be at Pleine Mer this week.
re: Delucacheesemonger
We'll try to bring some sunshine with us, lol. Hope you can join us at CLJ on the 11th!
Going to Pleine Mer on your recommendation.
re: parisjo
If going on 10/1 will keep you company if you wish.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Sounds good, as long as you don't mind an early dinner, since we have the concert at 8pm.
re: parisjo
Just give me a time.
re: Delucacheesemonger
We're thinking of around 6pm to give us time to eat without rushing. It looks like New Morning is a short walk from Pleine Mer so that should work. I'll let you know exactly once I call them to reserve a time. I'll make it for three!
re: parisjo
No reservations, one man operation.
re: Delucacheesemonger
ok, then I guess we'll see you at 6, lol
re: parisjo
DCM, CLJ on the 11th? Wouldn't be the same without you...SE
(Oh and Jo your list is awesome. Personally I hope you choose Ober Sale over Bones so I can get a review before I book for the following week...plus, absinthe...)
re: sistereurope
I am leaning more towards Ober Sale from the great things I've read on here in the last little while. I've read both good and bad re: Bones, so we'll see. Is Cantada II close to Ober Sale?
Can't wait to see you again!
re: parisjo
15 minutes max walking...ditto!
re: sistereurope
well, maybe we will meet up for that nightcap after all, lol
Re: "Bercy, looking for some place very casual, open late, near the Omnisport Arena that doesn't suck after the concert": I'd recommend the Cafe Cartouche aka Cartouche Cafe which is open til 23h. The restaurants at the Cour St Emilion and Cinémathèque Française are pretty weak and Bert's in the UGC Ciné Cité Bercy, very basic.
What other questions are still unanswered; the flurry of posts seems to duck them
re: John Talbott
Thanks John, Cafe Cartouche sounds perfect.
Other questions were ~ Pierre Sang Boyer or Bones on the 10th and Ober Sale or Bones on the 12th? We loved Au Passage when we went a few years ago, but have heard some good and bad reports on Bones and also on PSB. Ober Sale sounds great, just not sure if we should devote our last dinner there. Argh, so many places, so little time, lol
Also, any thoughts on Le Pere Claude? ~ as I said, not our choice, menu looks ok, just hope it doesn't suck as it's Den's birthday that day. Since most of the places on my list are closed Sundays and our friend suggested Le Pere Claude after going earlier this year (he is French, but from Normandy, not Paris and now lives in Montreal with my best friend. They'll be on their way back from Portugal and we'll overlap on the 29th).
Thanks in advance. Hope to meet up at some point,
re: parisjo
For me, Pierre etc has never failed me nor James Henry, albeit I've not been to Bones cuz it's still just dinner.
I've not been to Pere Claude in eons. If it's someone else's choice - go and report back, maybe it's still good.
re: John Talbott
Ok, thanks, I think it's one of those flip a coin decisions, lol. I just reread your 2 reviews of PSB and maybe that will be one winner. Just worried about the no rezzie thing, don't want to show up and they can't take us and then what? So we'll see.
And of course, I'll report back ~ I always do. It's really hard to shut me up about Paris :)
re: parisjo
Well, first off, go a bit early and stand there looking eager and second fall back to one of Parnassien's suggestions in the area he knows well (Ober-Sale, Villaret, Verre Vole etc). Auberge Flora is only 10 minutes away. But you'll get in if early.
re: John Talbott
Sounds like a plan. Flora was on my list too, but there's just so many, it went on the "next time" list.
re: parisjo
Let fate decide. Try Pierre Sang first. If you can't get a table immediately, then stroll down to Ober-Salé (2 mins away) usually ok for walk-ins mid-week. Weekends are much more dicey eveywhere in Paris.
The food at Bones is very good indeed. But I have a few complaints: some nights it's so achingly hip but earnest that having a good time is somewhat of a challenge; and occasionally the music is very intrusive.
re: Parnassien
Yup, that sounds like the plan for the 10th.
As for Bones, that's exactly what I've been reading. I remember when we went to Au Passage, we must have brought the average age of the people in the restaurant up by about 20 years, lol. Our server made sure we knew it was mostly small plates and not the regular French classics. Of course, we knew this and loved our meal that night ~ first time for oursins, burrata and bonites for both of us, and we loved it all. We ended up talking with a young guy who was sitting at the bar, he had worked at Taillevent but his visa had run out and he had to go back to the states for a while. We had a great evening but the staff sure weren't sure we belonged there, lol. If Bones is even hipper, we'll feel even older :)
re: parisjo
"achingly hip" "Yup"
So that's why Souphie calls me a hipster.
I loved the atmosphere at Au Passage.
For an amusing diversion see "Caught in the Hipster Trap."
re: John Talbott
I always found Au Passage to be consistently enjoyable (before AND after the change in chefs) ... and it is certainly less earnestly hip than Bones.
re: John Talbott
I don't understand the repeated references to hip. In restaurant terms, it is the opposite of what?
In the places that DH and I frequent, we could usually be the grandparents of the chefs, to say nothing of the waitstaff. We feel absolutely at home, are treated amazingly well, are welcomed back warmly each visit.
Maybe we should listen and watch more acutely for sniggering behind our backs?
re: mangeur
Mme Mangeur,
there are many degrees of "hip" in every large city in the world. In Paris, there are lots of almost tribal allegiances based on style, language/ argot, education, philosophy, music preferences, etc and many of these will indeed fall in the hip category. Very few are, however, exclusive and excluding. From my memory of the places you have visited and reported about on Chowhound, I think you have not yet experienced a fiercely or achingly hip eaterie (on for, instance, the Ménilmontant-side of the rue Oberkampf on a Saturday night) where your age and style would result in disdain. If and when you do, I bet you will feel like a drag queen at a Baptist convention.
The achingly hip is a very hard-core version of "bobo". They have a very defined dress code/ uniform/ look, talk endlessly about esoteric music, are very earnest, pepper their language with Verlan (argot de la Zone/ ghetto-talk) but, if educated, revert to perfectly grammared French when drunk, want to live in LA or Berlin, and tend to regard social skills as unnecessary.
To be fair to Bones, the clientele is a mix of mainstream foodies, common-or-garden hip, and achingly hip. Some nights are more tolerable than others.
re: Parnassien
You're right. While we often do spots east of Ménilmontant on Saturday nights, they are off Oberkampf, not on the main drag which has a more in-your-face vibe.
re: mangeur
And, Mme Mangeur, a little off-thread detour. I just twigged to what might be your service problem at Chatomat. It's very much a "solidaire"/ socially responsible sort of place and is probably used for work experience for students at the new-ish restaurant industry training centres in "la Zone" to create employment opportunities for kids from deprived neighbourhoods. Not fully trained or fledged, the trainee serveurs/ serveuses probably haven't yet acquired the necessary social and waiting skills.
But from what I have seen at other restaurants, they do eventually become excellent and knowledgeable waiters once fully trained.
re: Parnassien
Aha! That is exactly the kind of detachment we experience. They are perfectly pleasant and polite, just not connected to either kitchen or FOH. Good call!
TITS, when you stand on your chair and salute the kitchen, nobody notices.
re: mangeur
Well let's see if this works as an example - Mama Shelter in the 20th - even I, a known hipster, wasn't hip enough.
re: John Talbott
Dr T - it's not hip just young ;-)
re: PhilD
Explain please; there are older folk there but they look like the NYT cartoon
Is that not hip?
Dr T the night tripper/hipster/whadeva.
re: John Talbott
To be honest, John, I'm still not getting it. I/we never feel out of place. We are almost always "someplace" because that someplace offers something that we're interested in. e.g., dinner. Most of these places are run by and inhabited by people decades younger than we are. I can't say that I've noticed anyone or group looking particularly hip. Studied dress, yes. Posing, yes, but actually hip? Hip, like "elegant", has to look effortless.
We go for the food and wine . As long as they hold their alcohol and keep their voices down, who sits next to me is not much I take into consideration. We interact with our waiter. And the kitchen. They seem happy to have us there. They happily let us rebook. Works for us.
(Maybe living where we do makes you blasé. Walking to the trolley not long ago, a guy rounded the corner wearing a great t-shirt, vest and work boots. But nothing in between but a silver ring. Was he hip? He had obviously put a lot of thought into his costume.)
re: mangeur
"Walking to the trolley not long ago, a guy rounded the corner wearing a great t-shirt, vest and work boots. But nothing in between but a silver ring."
Er, am I to understand he was not wearing ... pants...? Do not tell me where the silver ring was located. Please.
re: mangeur
OY. And, thanks.
re: parisjo
I think Le Père Claude is kind of ordinary and a little kitschy...foodwise, pretty much interchangeable with any of the other restaurants on this stretch of ave de la Motte-Picquet... although the old-school parisien vibes at the neighbouring La Galloise and La Gitane are perhaps more enjoyable, Le Père Claude despite its culinary ordinariness will nevertheless deliver a perfectly decent meal. After all, this is Paris.
re: Parnassien
Thanks, at least we know what to expect. I'm not going to stress about it since we have such great meals to look forward to for the rest of the trip.
Maybe I'll try to reserve Bones for our last dinner on the 12th and if we can't get in, we'll do Ober Sale.
Thanks everyone for your input. Only 11 dodos left!
re: parisjo
Oops, 12 Oct is a Saturday night, no? Not a good night to find a table at Bones or Ober-Salé... or anywhere without a rezzie. Blame the weekend swarm of suburbanites.
And get in the true Parisienne mode. 22 dodos... your nightly sleep and a power nap before you go out at night.
re: Parnassien
Sorry, I meant I would try to get a reservation for Bones, and if I can't get one, I'll make one for Ober-Sale (assuming we don't end up there on Thursday if we don't get into Pierre Sang Boyer). Ah, what a hard life I lead, lol
re: parisjo
It's my daily grind in Paris. Choices, choices, choices. It's exhausting... and a helluva lot of fun. :)
re: parisjo
Hi Parisjo, am guessing you're already in Paris but if you're still taking feedback on Bones, I'd say you're probably safe from the dreaded terminal hipness. The young staff were earnest but friendly and unaffected, and the crowd reasonably diverse, when I was taken last week. Heads-up though that the cuisine was a little uneven. Too many elements of our no-choice menu were duds - an oddly bland tuna and lard bruschetta, an unsuccessful egg dish with bitter greens and some kind of health-foody grain.
You may have more of an issue of good fit with Mary Celeste. It is good fun and its menu of small eats is great but it is primarily a drinking spot with a less-diverse crowd. Food emerges only erratically from its kitchen and its pacing may not necessarily suit expectations of a sit-down diner. Maybe go early for a drink, then head off for dinner elsewhere.
re: shakti2
Thanks for the heads up. After my initial flurry of making reservations and suffering from FOMO, I've decided to not stress about the days we've not reserved yet and go with the flow. I think we will pass on Bones this time and enjoy the contemporary cuisine of Spring, Septime, Paul Bert 6 and Pirouette (already reserved) and the traditional familiarity of Au Vieux Comptoir, Bistro Paul Bert and Chez l'Ami Jean.
I think that's good advice for Mary Celeste as well. I think I forgot that being in Paris is the home run, not scoring reservations at every new hit in town. There will always be more of those, but just being in my favourite city in the world is already priceless enough for me.
We had an easy lunch at Les Philosophes today and an even easier dinner at Pizza Momo, a place we've been coming to for the last 5 years. Ended the evening with a night cap at the Lizard Lounge, right across from our apartment on rue Bourg Tibourg. It was a great first day, Den's snoring away and I'm not far behind him.
I think we'll be happy with a mix of new adventures and old reliables.
re: parisjo
Sounds like a good mix.
re: Delucacheesemonger
6, not me Stefan. Sorry. Otherwise occupied.
re: John Talbott
That was directed to OP John
re: Delucacheesemonger
Awesome! See you tomorrow! Had an awesome meal at Septime tonight. Looking forward to seeing you (and Johnny Lang) tomorrow ~ will miss you, Mr Talbott.
re: parisjo
Well, it's nice to be missed but even nicer not to miss a good meal. Enjoy.
Jo, I just went to Mary Celeste two nights ago, and they had no oysters as they said they were not in season. I'm headed out to Bastille and Maubert tomorrow in search of them.
I would call ahead to Mary Celeste ot see if they have oysters available as it was a big disappointment. Luckily, we were able to get an early seat at the bar at Cafe des Musees as a replacement for our dinner after a couple drinks at Mary Celeste.
re: twinkie
Thanks Twinkie, I think we may cancel the Marie Celeste reservation regardless. I was told while at Le Baron Rouge on Sunday that they would start their oysters this Sunday so that takes care of our crustacean fix for that day. I think I'll much prefer their ambiance anyways.
We had amazing oysters with DCM on Tuesday night at Pleine Mer ~ found out from this CH fountain of knowledge that the owner brings them back with him from Cancale on Tuesdays, so they were as fresh as fresh can be. 3 dozen with a bottle of muscadet and a kouign amann for 76 euros! Can't be beat.
Had a great meal at Bistro Paul Bert last night, finally got my steak tartare and it was tres yummy! So good in fact that I just canceled our lunch reservation at Au Petit Sud Ouest for today ~ just can't handle another heavy meal so soon (as Parigi and other hounds keep reminding us, lol)
Spring tomorrow for lunch ~ can't wait!

Well actually we usually have way too many. It is always a dilemma chez moi : bananas are the one fruit I buy all year round, the one fruit that everyone loves, but you never know when they will swallow one after the other in rapid succession in a matter of hours, or when you will find yourself scraping rotting, oozing bananas from the fruit bowl, swatting away the flies. So what to do with the brown, mushy bananas that everyone refuses to eat? LET THEM EAT CAKE!
I have been making this Banana Bread from the same recipe since my college days. It is scribbled in my trusty old, battered and stained notebook into which I have been jotting down any recipe handed down from friends and family. And I have carried this around with me from the US to Italy to France like a treasure.
This is such a versatile bread – chocolate chips, coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans, fold in fresh blueberries in the summer or, for an exotic twist, fold in cubes of pineapples and maybe half a cup of shredded or grated coconut. Cover the top with a beautiful brown sugar, flour, butter and cinnamon streusel or sprinkle with sliced almonds, drizzle with a chocolate ganache or a tangy lemon glaze. Lovely!
As I have said, I make a Banana Bread almost weekly, but over the holidays I finally decided to take photos, write up my recipe and post it on Life's A Feast. Surfing around all of my favorite food blogs over the course of the past week as I regularly do, I noticed that so many other food bloggers had also posted a banana recipe; banana breads, rolls, muffins, cakes, even a cheesecake. Maybe it was the cold, icy weather, maybe it was the excitement leading up to the Inauguration, but so many of us seem to have turned to our favorite comfort foods, those warm, homey, family snacks, the special treats of our childhood.
This is so simple, even the most novice among us, young or old, can easily put this together. Each ingredient, except, of course, for the bananas, is a pantry staple. My recipe calls for vegetable oil, so no waiting around for butter to soften. The bread is great to wrap up, whole or in slices, to take on a picnic or put in a lunch box. Every year, I bake batches in small aluminum tins to give as holiday gifts along with one or two other flavored breads. And as I said, this cake is so easy to personalize, adding "mix ins" from fruit to nuts to chocolate chips.
2 medium bananas, the riper the better
2 large eggs
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 ¾ cups (220 g) flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup (125 ml) vegetable oil
1/8 cup (25 ml) milk or buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
Mix ins : ½ - 1 cup chocolate chips, I prefer mini chips, ½ - 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1 cup drained pineapple chunks, ½ cup grated coconut, etc. (optional)
Toppings – slivered almonds, streusel, or spread on a chocolate frosting, or drizzle on a chocolate or lemon glaze (optional)
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan : 9 x 5 x 3 inches (8 cups) or 23 x 13 x 8 cm (1.9 liters).
Mash or purée the bananas in a large bowl (I suggest hand-mashing the bananas, as I find that using an electric puréer gives the bananas a pasty consistency that makes the finished bread a bit dryer, strangely enough!). Don't worry if this is not perfectly smooth!
Add the eggs and beat well with the mashed bananas with a whisk or wooden spoon.
Add the sugar and continue beating for a minute or two until well-blended and slightly thickened.
In a small bowl, blend the flour, baking powder and soda and salt. In a measuring cup, blend the oil, milk and vanilla.
Now, stir in the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the liquid ingredients in 2, starting and ending with the dry. Scrape down the sides and make sure the batter is well blended.
Fold in the mix-ins of your choice, stirring until evenly distributed.
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and just give the pan a quick but gentle shake back and forth once to make sure the batter is even in the pan.
Put in the oven and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes or until risen, the center should be beautifully cracked and by gently pressing down on the center, you can tell that the cake is set. You can cook this for 5 minutes more if you prefer to be sure that it is done, it won't overcook the cake. I just prefer this bread just done.
Remove from the oven onto a cooling rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife or spatula around the edges and give it a few sharp up-and-down shaking jerks to loosen, then turn out and right onto the rack and let cool completely.
This cake is perfect for breakfast or snacktime.
At holiday time, I divide the batter into either 2 – 4 cup (1 liter) or 3 – 2 cup (.50 liter) aluminum loaf tins to wrap up and give as gifts.

At the American Music Awards Sunday night, Lance Bass discussed an 'N Sync reunion (among hype of the Backstreet Boys/New Kids on the Block tour).
"I don't see it in the cards because Justin (Timberlake) is very busy with his film career. When his schedule slows down, I'd love to do it. I love being on stage," Bass said.
That's precisely what JT ponders about while stroking his six Grammys and two Emmys nightly.
Not only has the successful singer made a genius foray into comedy – with stints on Saturday Night Live, bits with Andy Samberg's Lonely Island and film roles – he has also delved into dramatic acting.
There is one thing that could possibly sway the boy back to his blond-tipped band roots: Bringing 'fro back.
What? Them other boys don't know how to act. ("Sexy Back." No? Crickets?)

Governor Daniels says it's time to move, but first…December 18th, 2012 at 3:33 pm by Jim Shella under Jim Shella's Political Blog
Mike Pence will take the oath of office as the 50th governor of Indiana in less than a month. That's also when Mitch Daniels will complete his second term and the outgoing governor wants everyone to know what changed on his watch. He spelled out accomplishments Tuesday in his final speech to the Downtown Rotary Club.
The governor used a power point presentation to go through a long list of achievements for an approving crowd at the Rotary Club. At one point he prompted applause by saying, simply, "BMV. I hope you notice a little difference there."
Mitch Daniels has an approval rating in the high 60′s as he approaches the end of his second term. Nevertheless, he has no desire to stay in this Statehouse office. In a 24 Hour News 8 interview in his Statehouse office last week he said that term limits are a good idea. He says his fear is that he would find himself without a big cause, or a big idea to pursure, and grow stale. "There's a season for everything," said Daniels, "and I do feel that we had 8 strong years, including years 7 and 8, and I would hate to stay a day too long."
Yet Daniels thinks it's a good idea that others are hanging on. A number of his agency heads will serve new governor Mike Pence and Daniels will still have an influence over what goes on in state government. When asked if he has given Pence much advice, he says, "When asked, yeah. I'm glad to, I don't force my attentions on anyone but he's certainly asked a lot of really good questions way back into the campaign and I've given him the best counsel I can."
He won't share that advice, however, saying that it's up to Pence to do so, if he chooses. Daniels is moving on. "I learned from Ronald Reagan a long time ago," he says. "He said always leave them wanting a little more."
In the meantime, he told the Rotary Club what he wants you to remember. "Indiana became distinctive," he said. "Indiana became a leader."
