Anyone seen iLL Manors yet?
Trailer looks amazing and a few people on another forum said it was one of the best British films of all time. Really interested in seeing it but struggling to find someone to go with.

To be fair in the middle of an economic double dip recession, rising food and fuel prices and increasing social problems, the idea of putting down money for yet another grim indictment of how crappy and morally bankrupt our society is as inviting as being mugged.
It's often been said in the good times people will be more willing to be self indulgent and depressive and in harsh times people seek more light entertainment and simple distractions.
That the most popular film this year has been about a team of superheroes fighting aliens is not surprising. People want hope and relief from the depressing reality that is, not a stark reminder of how bad it truly is when they seek escapism in entertainment.
Tyrannosaur, Harry Brown and Wild Bill are great British movies but I'm sure most would rather watch Nanny McPhee or Harry Potter than another movie about kitchen sink Britain's gangsters, drug addicts and crap dads. Most want to walk away from a movie talking about it in the pub, not feeling they should find a gun and a bottle of whiskey to deal with the trauma of what they've witnessed. Well, Lars Von Trier fans maybe but they are a special breed.

Is this yet another film about 'yoof' in London with poor grasps on the English language and its pronunciation getting into all sorts of adventures around their council flats?
I think I'll pass...

A quick look at box office takings for the past 30 years would tell you that's not a new phenomenon.

Part musical narrated by Plan B with tracks from his Ill Manors album littered throughout and part dark, gritty, urban drama centred around drug dealers basically. Drug dealers, pimps, junkies and prostitutes.
It's acted pretty well with actor Riz Ahmed being the standout. The only one in the movie with a conscience. There's a girl who used to be in Hollyoaks too, those two actors were the only ones i recognised. Plenty of Cockney sterotypes thrown in for good measure too and contains loads of swearing.
Plan B makes a blink and you miss it cameo. It's a not bad film, directed competently but it's nothing you haven't already seen before.

As for Plan B himself, he's so obviously one of those try-hard wannabe street kids who called himself a 'social outcast' just cause he wanted to fit in with the rest of them. His music is great but this sort of attitude makes me...
I will listen to someone's real story. Not all this glamourized 'gangsta' bullshit.

It's based on experiences Ben Drew had growing up so I guess if we've seen it all before then either his life to date has been one big cliche or these things are true to life and happen to lots of people all the time?
If there's room in the world for more than one film about a love story or a super hero then there's room for more than one about under privileged urban London.
Although I know that Ill Manors is amazingly low budget I never saw a lack of budget onscreen.
Ill Manors came across to me as fresh and original with a lot to say.
Some people won't like the style, some people won't be able to keep the multiple characters fixed in their mind, some people will find a lot of it hard to watch...but it's a damn good film none the less.

The Lake Erie Arboretum at Frontier and Greener Behrend are offering a free composting workshop on Saturday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the L.E.A.F. education building, 1501 W. Sixth St.
The class will be taught by Penn State master gardeners. The first 20 participants to register will receive a free composter courtesy of Greener Behrend, officials said.
Space is limited and advance registration is requested. To learn more or sign up, call (814) 453-5323 or visit www.leaferie.org.
I've been composting for several years and found it's great for my garden. Plus, I don't feel as guilty if I buy a banana or tomato and it goes bad before I get to eat it. By composting it, I'm at least getting some value out of it and not just throwing my money completely away.

Anybody tried this burger ? After Taste closed its door, where else can we get it... would llike to try it.
this is the only one made by the originator from ny (at taste today). i didn't hear about it in time to get one :(
i think tanakas makes a version, google it. but if they use their saimin for the burger, take a pass. their saimin is junk.
a lot of other copycats are popping up, again, google it.
and let us know how they are.
Didn't try it, but drove by at about 3:30 this afternoon and noticed the Ramen Burger sign. I'd say there were 20-30 people lined up along the sidewalk waiting. Hope it was good.
Glad I didn't try to get it. Saw the pictures of the line. There's no way I would wait in line several hours to eat it. Momo Burger had their own version, but I don't think it's on their regular menu. Tanaka Saimin uses their saimin for the bun.
It really is not difficult at all to make it yourself! Add all the trimmings you like!
Lots of good info found here
The Pearl Country Club restaurant sells a ramen burger, but it is pretty different, with a crispy fried cake of ramen for the bun, if you would like to try it. The ramen burger at Taste was smaller, with a noodle bun that held together well and that was soft in the middle, like cake noodles.

A March 2007 New Republic article has surfaced in which the piece's writer, Ryan Lizza, asserts that Jeremiah Wright was once a Muslim:
But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity's guiding principles–what the church calls the "Black Value System"–included a "Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness.'
I'm not terribly interested in the spiritual evolution of Rev. Wright. Muslim Americans have the same rights as Jewish Americans, Hindu Americans, and Christian Americans—including the right to worship freely and be left alone provided their worship doesn't infringe upon anyone else's rights. (Although the implication here is that he might have been a Nation of Islam member, and the NOI is, at best, a racialist organization.) In any case, the Democratic primary has provided enough identity fodder to last several lifetimes.
What's far more interesting is that Trinity Church's guiding principles include a "Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness.' Keep that in mind. Yesterday in Slate Christopher Hitchens gave this account of the Rev. Wright's retirement booty: "a $1.6 million home, purchased in the name of his church and consisting of more than 10,000 square feet, in a gated community in Tinley Park, a prosperous white section of the city." This deeply spiritual man has demonstrated that rarest of qualities in modern preachers: the ability to live up to one's professed ideals. After all, there's nothing middle-class about a 10,000 square foot home.

Let me tell you this – I am not big on refashioning or upcycling, not at all. In fact I believe that repurposing or redoing existing piece might take a lot more energy and time than making a new one. Although, there is one thing I am not going to argue – it is indeed a very creative process. Your mind gets twisted in all sorts of ways in order to come up with a solution on: "How can I RE-use this?". A day ago or so, my husband realized that his favorite American Eagle dress shirt was slightly torn and that there was no way of fixing it after which I got an intriguing offer: "Would you like to use it for anything?". "Sure, just put it aside…" – if to be honest I said it just because I was in a rush and did not put too much of thought in that. It took me a day or so to decide if I want to do it or not an since it is quite a trend of right now, to refashion men's dress shirts, I decided to give it a try! Originally I was inspired by this cute female top that I saw in Burda Style newest issue.

Nebraska just landed its top recruit so far, and it's Ohio State's loss. The Cornhuskers just picked up a commitment from blue-chip DE Greg McMullen out of Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron (Ohio).
McMullen is 6-foot-5, 260 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in the 4.5-second range. He also reported scholarship offers from Cincinnati, Michigan State, Northwestern, N.C. State, Notre Dame, Purdue and of course, the Buckeyes.
Ohio State's problems with the NCAA had a lot to do with his decision, as he called the situation there a "black hole". There was a day when blue-chippers like McMullen rarely left the state.
"It just feels right," McMullen told the Akron Beacon Journal. "It's more like a friend I see in them. That's how I feel when I talk to Nebraska. I know what's going on there.''
The Cornhuskers now have four recruits on board for the class of 2012.

About Clinical Trials
Advancing High Quality Care
Fredericksburg Oncology is affiliated with the National Cancer Institute's Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP), and is now able to offer clinical trials to patients in Fredericksburg. These trials are sponsored by national research groups, including the NSABP (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project), ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group), CALGB ( Cancer and Leukemia Group B), and the NCCGT (North-Central Cancer Treatment Group). Fredericksburg Oncology does not participate in trials run by pharmaceutical companies.
What are clinical trials?
A clinical trial is a medical research study conducted by doctors to test new methods of prevention, screening, diagnosis, or treatment of cancer. A clinical trial might also be called a clinical study, or a research protocol, or medical research. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the safest and surest way to develop improved treatments against cancer.
A randomized clinical trial is a study in which the participants are assigned by chance to either the standard treatment group (control group) or the investigational treatment group. In clinical cancer trials the control group receives the standard treatment currently available. Sometimes during the course of a trial one arm is found to be clearly superior. If this happens the study is closed early, and all patients are offered the best treatment.
Why take part in a clinical trial?
Clinical trials offer high-quality cancer care. By participating in a clinical trial patients often play a more active role in their healthcare, and may be helping others who have the same condition by contributing to medical research. By participating in a trial patients may have access to treatments that are not otherwise available, and increase the total number of treatment options available to them. Because of the careful monitoring of the treatment, and of the potential side effects, patients on trial receive very close attention from the health care team. There are, of course, potential risks.
Each person with cancer should have the opportunity to consider participation in a clinical trial. It is a personal choice to participate or not. A decision should only be made after a careful review of the trial and of the consent form with the physician.
What is a protocol?
The protocol is a map, or blueprint, that outlines in detail the tests, treatments, and doses of medicines that will be used. It ensures that all patients are treated identically and all results are measured the same way, so that meaningful comparison can be made when the trial is completed.
What types of cancer trials are available?
There are different types of clinical trials, designed to answer different questions.
A Phase I clinical trial is designed to determine if a new treatment is well tolerated, and what the appropriate dose of a new medication should be.
A Phase II clinical trial is designed to measure the effectiveness of a particular treatment against a particular disease. These studies typically involve 100 to 300 people.
A Phase III trial compares the new treatment that with a standard therapy for a particular type of cancer. Phase III studies typically involve 1000 to 3000 patients enrolled at oncology practices across the country. The majority of trials available at Fredericksburg Oncology are Phase III clinical trials.
How am I protected if I am involved in a clinical trial?
Before a clinical trial starts, a review board evaluates the proposed trial to be sure it is scientifically sound and will be conducted in an appropriate and ethical manner. Every clinical trial in the United States must be approved and monitored by an Institutional Review Board. An IRB is an independent committee of physicians, statisticians, and community advocates that ensures a clinical trial is ethical and that the rights of study participants are protected. Patients are under absolutely no obligation to enroll in a clinical trial, and are free to leave a clinical trialat any time.
Fredericksburg Oncology receives no compensation from any pharmaceutical company or research organization for recruiting or enrolling patients in any clinical trial.
Some common misconceptions:
|Clinical trials are risky.
|Trials are very closely monitored by the doctors and nurses, and there is continuing oversight by the Institutional Review Board assigned to each trial.
|Clinical trials are highly experimental and patients are treated like "guinea pigs".
|Clinical trials generally incorporate the best available medicine and then add to it or adjust it to see if enhancements can be made to improve the quality of the treatment and the quality of life of patients receiving that treatment.
|Sugar pills or placebos are often used in clinical trials rather than actual medicine.
|Clinical trials offer patients the best treatment (the standard of care) or the opportunity to receive a new treatment, which is hoped to be proven better than the standard. Placebos are rarely used in treatment trials. It would be unethical to give someone an inactive medication if it would deny him or her the chance to receive treatment that has already been shown to work. The very least the patient should expect in any clinical trial is to be offered the standard of care already in use.
|Health-insurance doesn't cover treatment costs for clinical trials.
|The majority of insurance companies cover treatment on cancer clinical trials. Since June 2000, Medicare has covered the cost of treatment trials.

Field Notes Vending Machine from Coudal Partners on Vimeo.
Forget Twinkies. I want a vending machine full of Field Notes.
My dear friend picked up one of the original Midori Mini Cleaners on her last trip to Japan and I've been dying to have one ever since. So much so, that I emailed Jet Pens and begged for them to restock these. Then, last week, I got a tweet to let me know that the Midori Mini Cleaners II were back in stock.
Mine is in the mail and I will be picking up little gritty bits of eraser dust with glee from the moment it arrives.

David Rees of Artisanal Pencil Sharpening sharpens Blackwing Pencils using an array of tools including a box knife, a Classroom Friendly Sharpener and the El Casco. Is it ridiculous? A little bit, but in his ostentatiousness he gets to the heart of it: anyone can use a pencil and sharpen it with little more than a knife or pocket sharpener.

My husband stumbled across this video of staplers found in Japan by this colorful Brit from The Grand Illusions web site, a site that sells toys, illusions and other novelty items.
I dug through his videos in search of other tidbits that might be interesting to readers and also found his glass pen demo. He comments that washing the tip with a little soapy water helps to make the ink adhere much better. Good tip!
This video was featured on The Verge this week and features Hallmark and focuses on the precarious state of the greeting card as a means for communication in our modern age. The video also features views of the halls I walk and many people who I've worked with over the years (I spent several years in the humor and Shoebox group. Yes, it really is a tiny little division of Hallmark). There are images of our legendary Crown Room (not during lunch), the outside of the building and even some peeks into the cubicles of people I know.
As folks who appreciate analog tools, I hope you also appreciate cards as a way to communicate with family and friends. Not to mention that, without the lovely steady paycheck from Hallmark, this blog might not be here.
PS: Even the Ford ad that bookends the video was filmed in Kansas City.

Feeling kind of Hobbitsy? Moleskine is re-releasing the Hobbit line of products in time for the release of the second film in the Hobbit series. So I guess its not so limited anymore, is it?
The covers are accented with debossed designs and metallic foils. Four versions are available in pocket sized including a Bordeaux Red cover and two black with red foil accents and black debossed designs and one black cover with red foil and gold foil. They are pretty but its still filled with mediocre paper stock. Sigh.

After writing my reviews of the hybrid ballpoints, I found an ad for the Pilot Acroball that sort of horrified my senses. So then I had to look further to see if Pentel, Uni Ball or Zebra stooped to similar stereotypes. So I've collected them all for you here.
Seriously? This is another Bic For Her travesty (read the reviews for entertainment). Shame on you, Pilot.
This Uni Jetstream video just sells the pens and stops trying to stereotype all women as shopaholics with a penchant for matching their pen to their outfits.
Both Surari and Vicuna features ice skating as a metaphor for the pens' smoothness. Points to Surari for weirdness of the ice skating zebra.
Judged entirely based on the promotional videos, I give the lead to Zebra Surari. Runner-up is Uni Jetstream but they lost first place because of the goofy music.
How would you rate these? Are you more or less compelled to buy any of these pens?
I'm not at all as enthusiastic about ballpoints as the announcer in this video but it is interesting to see how much work is put into making the Bic Cristal ballpoint pen.The beginning of the video paints fountain pens in a very poor light indeed.
Let the comment raging begin.
(Shoutout to Andy of Woodclinched for finding this video)

Golden threads
of sunlight weaves
A paisley pattern
through Autumn leaves
Points of light
splayed upon the ground
Play tag and caper
without a sound
Capricious days
Of Autumn play
Upon stage
of frost and light
In drama writ
by Nature's hand
With season's might
Summer's past,
now tis Autumn's time
While Winter waits watching
in the wings
Drama played
in fen and glade
While Nature's

Falling leaves limned
By the golden sun
The curtain closes
The show is done
A spectacle of epic proportions
Starring the spectacular trees
with a supporting cast of millions

Gear Review
Super light, smooth shifts, dies quickly
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The XG-1099 is an impressive feat of engineering. This thing is significantly lighter than the XTR M980 10-speed cassette, and I feel confident in stating that it is probably the sexiest cassette ever made. The cogs on most cassettes are bolted to an aluminum spider or carrier. Here, all but the largest and smallest cogs are machined from a single block of steel and are thus connected to each other rather than being affixed to a central piece of metal. I've found that it shifts slightly better with SRAM derailleurs than with Shimano derailleurs, but I would happily use it on all of my bikes if not for the mayfly-like life span of the large cog.
Unlike the interconnected billet steel middle cogs, the largest cog (32t or 36t) is made of aluminum. I don't doubt that SRAM chose the aluminum to save weight in this weight-weenie's-wet-dream of a cassette, but the aluminum is much more malleable and wears out in an unacceptably short period of time. Worn out cogs can cause the chain to skip, shift poorly, or fail completely. Despite SRAM's representations to the contrary, this large aluminum cog is not replaceable. To clarify, perhaps the cog is theoretically replaceable, but SRAM has never released or sold the replacement cogs. I've worked on class actions that have been filed over less. A simple Google search will produce several forums and threads filled with rants from riders about how quickly the aluminum cog died on their $400 cassette, one chap claims his XG-1099 was only a few weeks old when it gave up the ghost as he power-shifted on a steep climb.
To summarize: If you are a racer who counts every gram, then buy this and put it on your race bike. It's awesome, but don't put it on your training bike and expect it to survive. If you are a weekend warrior who has the means and motive to spend $400 on a cassette, expect to spend another $400 in 4-6 months. Or just never shift to your big cog.

Drug activity on the campus of East Tennessee State University is comparable to other state schools, an administrator said Monday.
ETSU Vice President for Student Affairs Joe Sherlin said four incidents of marijuana-related activity have occurred at the campus housing complex known as Buccaneer Ridge Apartments this year.
That includes this weekend's arrest of four students charged with various marijuana offenses. Two of those students face charges related to the sale of marijuana.
Elias Rasmussen, 22, 387 Hill Road, Harrogate, was charged with possession of schedule VI drugs for resale, possession of drug paraphernalia, maintaining a dwelling where drugs are used or sold and carrying or possessing a weapon on school property.
Rishi Malhotra, 19, of Germantown, and Brandon Buchanan, 25, 1185 W. Mountain View Road, Apt. 1201, were charged with simple possession of schedule VI drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Student Wesley Miracle, 22, 288 Arthur Road, Arthur, Tenn., was charged with possession of schedule VI drugs for resale and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Theses charges stem from an original investigation into a fire alarm Friday night. The responding officer smelled marijuana in an apartment unit and that led to two separate investigations that resulted in the four students being charged.
Sherlin said ETSU is comparable to other schools in Tennessee in terms of overall violations and drug violations.
"Yes, we've had marijuana activity, as every other school in the state has," he said Monday.
There were three marijuana incidents last year and two the year before that at Buc Ridge, Sherlin said.
There has been marijuana activity at other dormitories at ETSU too.
"And any case that we have a drug distribution, we're going to deal with that very seriously," Sherlin said. "I mean, anybody found responsible for distribution is definitely subject to dismissal in terms of the review."
The four men are still students and subject to disciplinary review.
"And that process has already begun, which includes reviewing all the information," Sherlin said. "Talking to the individuals involved. They are not in housing and will not be back to university housing... based on the information we have.
"And these are serious offenses. For drug distribution you could be looking at dismissal or permanent withdrawal from the institution."
ETSU Police Chief Jack Cotrel said the numbers of marijuana-related incidents on campus is not indicative of a large drug presence on campus.
Cotrel did say there are more resident assistants at Buc Ridge and a community relations officer there, too. Besides that, patrols have been increased.
All that is an effort to help reduce crime.
Part of the investigation this weekend included a search for explosives at Malhotra's on-campus apartment. Police found fertilizer, propane canisters and a pressure cooker that caused concern. No explosives were found but his apartment building was evacuated for around 6 hours.
Cotrel said no email and text alerts were sent informing the broader campus community of the evacuation because the situation was contained to a specific location.
"We did not have any reason to believe that the threat that we thought might materialize could go outside that particular location, so that's why the decision was made to contain it to that particular facility and that alerting the entire community was not required or necessary," Cotrel said. "As a matter of fact, it could have been disruptive."
Cotrel was pleased the situation ended positively.
"I'm very proud of the professionalism displayed by my officers when they encountered this incident and the level of cooperation we received from our neighboring agencies in East Tennessee," he said.
Besides the ETSU police force, Johnson City police, the Unicoi County Sheriff's Office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the state fire marshal and the FBI assisted in the investigation.
Cotrel said any situation on campus would be treated the same and that the recent Boston Marathon bombings did not influence the level of response given to this weekend's investigation.
"I think this is how we would react to any situation," he said. "And our goal and mission first and foremost is the safety of our students. That comes first beyond everything else."

Step 1: Materials and Tools aka "What You Need"
- 3" schedule 40 PVC pipe
- wood screws
Tools Needed:
- Gloves
- Saw
- Heat G un
- Scissors
- Drill
- Drill Bit
- Counter Sink
Step 2: Cut 3" PVC into 5/8" Slices
A compound miter saw is really good for cutting consistent rings. Other saws including hand saws could also be used.
Approximate Dimensions for a NOMINAL 3" PVC pipe:
- outside diameter of 3.50 inches
- internal diameter of 3.25 inches
- thickness of 1/4"
Step 3: Heat Cut and Shape the PVC rings
WEAR GLOVES! It can be done, but I do not recommend going sans-gloves.
Work with one ring at a time. Heat up the ring with a heat gun until ring is easily bendable - almost limp. But be careful not to burn the plastic. Also avoid "toasting" the plastic. Once warmed up, use scissors to snip open the ring.
Periodically re-warm as working if needed. Platic will cool and harden fairly quickly More like seconds vs minutes.
While the ring is warm, lay on flat surface and re-shape the plastic into a "C" with curls on each end. See photos and illustrations. You can hold a bend it will stiffen as it cools. If the shape is not quite right, re-warm and bend again.
See video in next step for sample footage of "working" the PVC.
I have a though - couldnt you use two rings of say 1 inch and mount them on a flat backing then cut a 1/4 inch gap on the left of the left ring and right of the right ring and achieve this without fumes or a heat gun?
great idea
I would also worry about using those clips in extremely cold weather too. PVC gets pretty brittle when it is cold so maybe not a good idea to hang a snow shovel from them in season?
Well done and congratulations.
Of course my comments are always self-serving in that way.
I never realized that PVC could be thermo reshaped. Creating parts with flats turns these tubes a whole new raw material for me. Once solid again, parts could be deglazed, sanded, and decorated. Obviously nobody should use it structurally. But from your experience, does it seem sturdy enough to craft wall-mounted hooks for things like pot lids and towels?
Also of note - you should check out Shapelock or Instamorph.
I believe those are about the same product. I have used Shapelock and have been very pleased with it. Those products are REALLY useful. Check this stuff out.
Also Sugru is touted widely here on instructables. It is not the same but can als be really useful. I have not yet used Sugru (but plan to soon).
A great way to heat PVC without noxious fumes or a chance or toasting it is to submerse it in really hot water. Not boiling, but maybe 150-200 degrees F. Insert the pieces one at a time, only takes a few (10-45) seconds, pull them out with tongs. Find the temp and time that works best for the size you're working with. Don't forget gloves!

Ole Pete was on the sidelines last Saturday to see the first football scrimmage action contained within the Aggies regular practice. There is one thing this old sodbuster can tell you; organization is the name of this coaching staff's game.
And you know what? The camaraderie they are showing is infectious. Everyone, players, coaches and assisting staff are totally focused on the job of getting Aggie football in a better place. That renewed vigor from the new staff plus a favorable schedule from the WAC has some markers leaning the Aggies way early. Pete knows there is a long way until kickoff and a longer way to the final gun sometime in December, but as I told you last week, this is football season and pondering and prognosticating about how the year is going to go is food for thought and gab as we get primed for what is coming.
Before I talk about the slate of games, let me get back to the enthusiasm that I saw during the first scrimmage. Little things like attention to detail, whether it's linebacker coach Dale Lindsay taking extra time to show his squad how low to get to tackle effectively or the line coaches going over the proper way just to line up, the seeds like this that are planted now can sprout into victories in the fall.
Pete's take on the schedule is this; a good start can be had with this setup of games. It is tough to take on a conference foe right off the bat, like
Two Mountain West teams who also have new coaches are next in

Product description
When documentary filmmaker Nancy Ryley first became ill, few people had heard of "environmental illness." Her symptoms---fatigue, depression, hypersensitivity to foods and chemicals---puzzled doctors and resisted treatment. Unable to work, Nancy, with her husband, moved from Toronto to rural west Canada, where a lifestyle free of urban pollutants helped her slowly to rebuild her health. Nancy's struggle is also the spiritual struggle of the planet. To explore the connections between the state of our bodies and souls and the condition of the earth, she interviewed four leading thinkers, each with a unique perspective on spiritual health: Laurens van der Post, African explorer and journalist; Marion Woodman, psychologist and best-selling author; Ross Woodman, expert on Blake and the Romantic poets; Thomas Berry, theologian and cultural historian. These thought-provoking conversations, woven with Nancy's own search for answers, shine beacons of hope for personal and planetary healing.

Since this place opened early 1970's, it's been my go-to place for best Vegi Burritos. Especially the tasty beans, fresh salsa, avocados with no-rice! (rice is too heavy for me). Good eatin'!! Love love love! Plus the best Mariachi bands come through here too!
Posted by Barbara on 05/16/2014
Excellent meats, really well-cooked and prepared, generous portions and great salsas, especially the salsa verde on all the tables for self-service. I have been a customer here since the early 1970s and have consistently had great food, every time. It's self-service, you stand in line for your food and they call your number. Shared tables. Tiny space. A couple of tables and a counter outside in front. Carnitas and chile verde in particular are outstanding! Nothing fancy just excellent food for great prices. Soft tacos here. Great burritos. Most times of day Spanish speaking customers outnumber yuppies.
Posted by Jeffrey on 12/08/2012
The no rice menu with amazing fresh crunchy tacos wrapped in a soft tortilla to not explode are as good as anything I had living 3 years in Mexico.
Posted by anonymous on 03/28/2012
We've eaten there several times over the years. We thought maybe it was just a bad day so we tried again and again and again. We had consistently bad food. Tough dry meat one time. Grizzly fatty meat another time. WAY over priced. Dry stale tortillas. Tomatoes taste like PineSol. Too many east-bay-bimbos-like-oh-maw-gawd-like-ok-like-ok-ok on their cell phones/ texters who think this is their idea of getting Mission culture. This is not a neighborhood spot. I've never seen the older folks or families in there. Consistently poor quality, rude staff and generally a poor experience.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/15/2011
Great, fresh, simple food. Quite simply this place is the standard by which all other taquerias should be measured. The "hard" shell taco is genius: a soft corn tortilla wrapped in another corn tortilla that has been oiled and grilled only briefly. It is not even close to crunchy (like those horrific hard shell tortillas most Americans experienced in their childhood). It's fantastic.
Posted by Tee on 11/08/2010
This place was a journey to get too but it was worth the wait. I had the best tacos at this place. The green sauce was great! Definitely wished there was one in NYC like this place.

The meat is seasoned just right and are fabulously tasty!

Pamela Badolato lives in Berwyn with her husband, 4 year old son, 2 year old twins, and newborn baby. Despite having four children aged 4 and under, she loves spontaneous adventures and having new experiences with them. Pamela is the Associate Publisher of Main Line Parent and Philadelphia Family Magazines.I remember sitting in our kitchen, and hearing my mom trying to explain to my sister and I that she found a lump in her breast. At 9 years old, breast was still a word that made me giggle- yet I knew this conversation was no laughing matter. Just 10 months prior my great aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer, too. And I knew that her mother, my great grandmother had died of breast cancer. From then on, it seemed like breast cancer was always there- someone my mother worked with, the sister of a family friend, etc. Maybe we kept finding the breast cancer survivors… or maybe somehow they kept finding us.
Nearly three years ago I made the decision to get tested to see if I carry the same genetic mutation that my mother tested positive for since we have a strong family history of breast cancer, and my mother was just a few years past being diagnosed a second time. I never considered that the test results would be negative, not because I'm a doom and gloom person but because I just felt it. It's like I could feel the mutation coursing through the branches and leaves of my family tree, right into my DNA. For many years I did not want to be tested, did not want to know that I was for sure a ticking time bomb for cancer. I planned to live healthily, and make choices that could help to keep cancer at bay. But then my OB/GYN talked to me about the test and my risks, and with a 2 year old and 6-month-old twins at home I knew right then I couldn't risk anything. I had to know. I had to do whatever I could to be their mom for the rest of my hopefully long life.

My surgery has now been postponed, and my new daughter is 9 months old. I'm enjoying being able to breastfeed her, as that is something I would have been heartbroken not to be able to do if I had gotten pregnant again post-surgery. As a nursing mother my surveillance options are limited, which is a risk because I cannot have mammograms or MRI. I'll revisit my surgery decision in the spring of 2014, new research comes out all of the time and my team of doctors and I can re-evaluate my options. I share my story because people think breast cancer happens to women over 50, or that the genetics of breast cancer got blown out of proportion when a celebrity announced her decision recently. I am a real person, a young person, who has a mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer twice before the age of 50, whose great-grandmother died at 47 from breast cancer .
We cannot change our DNA or history, but I can help change my future and do what I can to be around for my four children, my husband and my family.

Ecological Epidemiology or Eco-Epidemiology is the study of both the chemical and physical nature of the environment, examining how together they contribute to the health of the ecosystem.Scientists who study the environment know that all organisms are connected in the web of life. If a chemical affects some organisms, other organisms in the ecosystem may suffer since all organisms depend on one another.
The field of eco-epidemiology is very broad. If scientists consider a river, they need to know the type of organisms in the aquatic community, the river flow speed, its size, depth and water temperature, the type of river bed… and then they begin to factor in the potential chemical changes.Research is done to understand how the chemistry of the environment affects the health of aquatic communities. Questions included:
All of these factors play a role in defining what organisms and how many are present in the river. Changes in the chemical or physical nature of a site can impact the fish, algae and invertebrates that live there. Studying both the chemical and physical nature of the environment and how they both contribute to the health of the ecosystem is ecological epidemiology or eco-epidemiology.P&G is helping to lead this relatively new science (see Eco-epidemiology publications listed below).
P&G scientists use a variety of environmental models to understand the concentration of consumer products in the environment. Some of these computer models use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to combine information on chemistry, ecology and the physical environment (e.g., river flow, river depth) to give us a clearer picture of the river. Ideally, we want to better understand if the ecosystem is responding to degradation in the physical or chemical environment. GIS software allows the user to study data for a specific site in a river.For example, we can get river flow, chemistry and biology data all for the same location. The real power of GIS is that we can do this analysis for hundreds or thousands of sites in the country we are interested in, and we can overlay dozens of different types of data at each site to determine which factors control ecosystem health.In a study of the entire state of Ohio, USA, P&G researchers found that river size and local habitat (e.g., amount of "cover," which includes large rocks, logs and other places for fish to hide) were important for healthy communities. However, the percentage of effluent was consistently identified as the most prominent negative factor addressing impacts. Further, effluents in urban areas caused greater damage than effluents in rural areas.Because consumer product ingredients are present at roughly the same concentration in urban and rural effluents, we do not expect these ingredients to be responsible for the effect observed. However, much more research is needed and P&G's efforts are continuing.

The girls won't, though. The huge majority of the world does not practice genital mutilation - that means that the huge majority of the world's women will find a mutilated penis to be "icky." I mean, unless you really want your son to only get blowjobs from prostitutes. If that's what you want, spend that $200-$2000.

Samsung's new premium line of tablets ditches app icons for widgets and includes topnotch specs and features
The supersized business-focused tablet is said to be hitting stores next week and will come with a host of perks, like Hulu Plus, Dropbox storage, and a $25 Google Play store credit.
The Samsung Galaxy TabPro hits shops on 6 March in 8, 10 and 12-inch flavours.
The Samsung Galaxy TabPro is up for order here in the UK for £349.
With its Galaxy TabPro 12.2, Samsung targets productivity users and represents a sizable challenge for Microsoft's Surface 2.
Samsung's new business-minded tablets go on sale on February 13, but you can pre-order them now.
The company cannot overlay its own software on Android Wear devices, such as its upcoming Gear Live smartwatch, but will preload certain features and services, executives tell CNET.
The Korean electronics giant plans to show off its newest device, and CNET will be on hand to bring you news, photos, and commentary via our live blog..
The device will likely use a traditional LCD screen but sport a resolution of 2,560x1,600 pixels, according to GSMArena.
Microsoft and Apple have very different takes on tablets. What are the pros and cons of their respective approaches? And which speaks more to the future?

Northwestern College in St. Paul is undergoing a name change.
The school will soon be called the University of Northwestern at St. Paul.
Administrators hope the name will achieve more recognition and bring in more funding.
"When you go around the world, the word college means kind of a post-high school situation. So as we have more students study internationally, as we recruit more students to come to Northwestern, the word University resonates better and connects better worldwide," said Dr. Alan Cureton, President of University of Northwestern St. Paul.
The name will officially change on July 1, so any 2013 graduates will still see Northwestern College on their diploma.

You've got a supercomputer in your pocket, called a smartphone, that you can converse with. Maybe you'll get one of the first Google Google Glass computer glasses when they're publicly available next year. Cool, but is that all there is to mobile computing?
Not even close, according to a group of mobile computing leaders at MIT Technology Review's first Mobile Summit in San Francisco today. "We need new kinds of interfaces," said Jason Pontin, publisher and editor in chief of the magazine, which I also write for. At a conference session on how the mobile computing interface will evolve, a range of researchers and entrepreneurs said everything from our voices to our entire bodies will play a role in a new era of wearable computing.
Among the speakers were Eric Migicovsky, founder of smart watch maker Pebble; Vlad Senjoha, CTO of speech technology firm Nuance; Desney Tan, principal researcher from Microsoft Microsoft; and Micah Yairi, cofounder and CTO of Tactus Technology, a developer of tactile user interfaces.
The wrist
Migicovsky's Pebble has managed to actually make a smart watch that Apple Apple and others are only rumored to be creating. Far from the iconic Dick Tracy device, Migicovsky explained, a smart watch is something that links to your smartphone and provides an interface for your phone.
The key is simplicity: black-and-white text that takes very little electricity, for one. Pebble also launched a software development kit that allowed developers to create different watch faces. One has created a link to a microwave oven so he can tell when his lunch is done.
Sports, health and fitness is one of the key applications Pebble has focused on. In this context, Pebble is a heads-up display (no glasses required).
Another key application: alerts and notifications. This has helped people extend their phone into their everyday life (as if they haven't already). Some practical uses are weather alerts, stock and finance alerts, and a calendar for your appointments.
This is just the beginning of wearable interfaces, said Migicovsky. More than a watch, he said, Pebble is a platform for applications for wearable devices.
In an onstage interview with Om Malik, editor of the tech news site GigaOm, Migicovsky went into more detail. Why does anyone need a Pebble watch? Malik asked. Isn't wearable computing an oxymoron, given that the choice of stuff you wear is largely for fashion? With Pebble, you have the opportunity to make it what you want. That's why there are some 13,000 different watch faces.
But your body is pretty premium real estate, Malik insisted. These watches still don't look very appealing. "There's a lot more work we can do to increase the usability of the product," Migicovsky admitted.
Will the smart watch replace the smartphone? Malik wondered. Not really, Migicovsky said, if only because smartphones have room for a battery to handle the wide variety of things people do with them.
Notifications are by nature disruptive and distracting, Malik noted. If we have a device like Pebble that produces even more of those, how do we avoid distraction? Technology does change the daily activities of humans, but it can also amplifies them, Migicovsky said–and so it is with smartphones, which many people check obsessively. Pebble hopefully will not change their basic behavior, but it may also amplify it.
The wrist is still a small piece of real estate, so if you try to cram too much on watches, it loses its basic appeal, Migicovsky said.
What will become the main device or interface for wearable computing? "I'm slightly biased toward the wrist right now," he said. But he added that that wearable computing will be distributed in various places around the body. They will probably piggyback on the data connection of the smartphone.

This Colors in Cambridge Glass identification and value guide compiled by the Cambridge Collectors Club is in excellent used condition and the only true guide available for colors made by Cambridge. The inside pages are unmarked/not written on; there is only a sticker with the name "Angels in the Attic" on the inside cover. The cover has the normal shelf wear for a used book. Includes 60 pages of color plates and values for 1991 (1999 values are available as well but are just as unreliable at this point!). Note that this book has been discontinued, and its replacement, Colors in Cambridge II, has been produced with inaccurate representations of the true colors (per the National Cambridge Collectors, which has issued a "buyers beware" warning about the newer book). The colors in the newer version do not match the photos provided, nor the proofs that were reviewed.

Two New Pizza Parlors
By Becky Billingsley
Tuesday, February 22, 2011, Myrtle Beach and Garden City - A new pizza restaurant opens today in Garden City, and another is opening soon in the Socastee area of Myrtle Beach.
In Garden City, today Mike Zemke is opening the doors at Donatos Pizza at 2607 U.S. 17 Business. The Ohio-based chain has many fans among Grand Strand area transplants who are eager to have the chewy and hearty pizza crusts and stromboli, and fresh and crispy-chewy breads on the subs.
Donatos also serves salads, wings, cookies and desserts pizzas, and an extra large bakery pizza starts at $10.
Donatos is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and until 11 p.m. on the weekends. As the season progresses it will be open even later. The number is (843) 651-0011.
In Socastee, Don Burg is opening the Grand Strand's second location of Fox's Pizza Den at 4620 Dick Pond Rd., in the former Atomic Pizza spot. The other Fox's Pizza Den, which is a Pittsburgh-based chain, is at 4326 U.S. 17 in Murrells Inlet.
Burg, who is a husband, father and U.S. Army National Guard soldier, has five years' experience at Ultimate California Pizza and 10 years' experience as a chef in Maryland. He hasn't yet finalized the menu - Fox's Pizza Den operators are allowed to fine-tune their selections. He'll deliver within a 5-mile range.
The opening will be in mid-March, and the phone number is (843) 294-3697. The website address is FoxsPizzaSocastee.com, and their facebook page has the same name.
