Bigfoot is Part Human. Wait. What?
So I'm checking out various nuggets of weird news today and run across this article at Geeks Are Sexy.
Apparently a genetics researcher in Texas by name of Dr. Melba Ketchum did some tests on "Sasquatch" DNA samples and determined that Bigfoot branched from the human line around 15,000 years ago.
Ketchum's team determined that Sasquatch has mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) that is identical to humans (mDNA is inherited down the maternal line), but has nuclear DNA (nuDNA) that is markedly different. This leads her to the conclusion that Bigfoot is a hybrid of a male of a heretofore unknown species of hominid and a human female. Here's the press release.
There are lots of reasons to conclude that Bigfoot is a myth, and very few reasons to conclude otherwise, so one has to wonder exactly where Ketchum's team obtained their samples and how they were handled. A reasonable conclusion is that the samples were contaminated with human DNA and the results reflect this but are being misinterpreted (indeed, in the press release, the wording suggests that the team assumed the existence of Sasquatch, and interpreted the results through that lens). Another conclusion is that they were watching an episode of Grimm when they were writing their report.
I'm guessing that the study will get shot down in peer review.
There was a time in my life when I would have glommed onto an article like this like fish on chips, and dismissed any naysayers as close-minded fools.
I got better.

uuhhh . . . science via press release, before peer review; how did that work out for Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, as well as others? Using my psycho powers . . . uh, I mean "psychic powers" of prediction, I see no Nobel in Ketchum's future.
It's looking even worse, according to Doubtful News at randi.org. It appears that Dr. Ketchum, in an effort to get published, bought herself an online journal. On the face of it, most people would be very suspicious of the peer review for her article, especially since it is the only article. I don't think this is going to turn out well.

In its first five years, LA Comedy Shorts was voted one of the "Top Ten Film Festivals in the U.S." by the Brooks Institute and twice voted "25 Festivals Worth the Fee" by Moviemaker magazine. Why?

We hook our winners up with valuable industry meetings and all filmmakers receive real industry exposure. Last year, one development exec attended EVERY block of films. Over a dozen filmmakers and writers have been hooked up with deals directly as a result of the festival.

Villa fell behind to Wes Hoolahan's early goal on Sunday, but Christian Benteke's brace sparked a stunning first-half turnaround from Paul Lambert's side.
It was the fourth time this season that Villa have come from behind to win in the Premier League and the weekend's result moved them seven points ahead of the relegation zone.
Weimann acknowledged that Villa's previous exploits in recovering from conceding an early goal played a key role in coming back to thump Norwich.
"It wasn't an easy start for us going behind against Norwich but we showed our character to come back again," Weimann told the club's official website.
"Everything came off for us after that in the first half and it was a brilliant win for us.
"We knew we still had loads of time to come back and it gave us a lift and from then on we never looked back and took the game to them.
"Obviously it's not nice to concede after three minutes, but we just say to ourselves, 'keep going' and we'll get chances to put it right. We got chances and we took them.
"We've come back from these things before so we know never to give up."

PARIS — Omnicom Group and Publicis Groupe SA say they are combining in a "merger of equals" that will create the world's largest advertising firm, one worth more than $30 billion.
The combined company will be called Publicis Omnicom Group and be jointly led by Omnicom CEO John Wren and Publicis CEO Maurice Levy as co-chief executives. The move is designed to bolster the companies' focus on growing Asian and Latin American markets such as China and Brazil, where they each have ramped up operations to counter lackluster growth in weak European markets.
But although a combined firm will allow for more pricing power in general, the decrease in competition could present regulatory hurdles in the U.S. and Europe. Client conflicts also could be an issue, as rivals such as Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo, McDonald's, Yum Brands' Taco Bell, Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble now find themselves under the same umbrella.
Omnicom Group, based in New York, owns BBDO Worldwide, DDB Worldwide Communications Group and TBWA Worldwide, among other agencies. Paris-based Publicis Groupe SA runs its namesake agency as well as Leo Burnett Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi and DigitasLBi. Their merger creates a company with combined annual revenue of about $23 billion, leapfrogging them over current London-based industry leader WPP.
For the first year, Omnicom Chairman Bruce Crawford will serve as non-executive chairman of the new company. He will be succeeded by Elisabeth Badinter, the current Publicis Groupe chairwoman, and daughter of its founder, for the second year.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool's chief executive, Ian Ayre, has travelled to Spain in an attempt to end the impasse over Alberto Moreno's proposed transfer from Sevilla and finalise Javier Manquillo's move to Anfield.
The Anfield club made an offer worth up to £16m for Moreno earlier this summer but Sevilla have held firm on their £20m valuation of the 22-year-old left-back.
That led Liverpool to consider alternative targets Ryan Bertrand and Ben Davies, who have since joined Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur respectively, while keeping their offer on the table for Moreno, the manager Brendan Rodgers's first-choice option.
Liverpool have continued negotiations with the Andalucian club and, as Ayre's trip indicates, are hopeful a compromise deal for the defender can be agreed in the next few days.
Moreno would be Rodgers's sixth permanent signing this summer should a breakthrough be made with Sevilla and Liverpool.
He is also close to acquiring Manquillo on loan from Atlético Madrid. The Spain U20 right-back is expected to join on loan with a view to a permanent transfer of around £5m.

THE SELECTED WORKS OF MAHATMA GANDHI > Vol. V - THE VOICE OF TRUTH > Part II- Section I: Truth, World and Man > Truth and God
Truth and God
For me, Truth is the sovereign principle, which includes numerous other principles. This truth is not only truthfulness in word, but truthfulness in thought also, and not only the relative truth of our conception, but the Absolute Truth, the Eternal principle, that is God. There are innumerable definitions of God, because His manifestations are innumerable. They overwhelm me with wonder and awe and for a moment stun me. But I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him, but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest. Even if the sacrifice demanded be my very life, I hope I may be prepared to give it.
But as long as I have not realized this Absolute truth, so long must I hold by the relative truth as I have conceived it. That relative truth must, meanwhile, be my beacon, my shield and buckler. Though this path is straight and narrow and sharp as the razor's edge, for me it has been the quickest and easiest. Even my Himalayan blunders have seemed trifling to me because I have kept strictly to this path. For the path has saved me from coming to grief, and I have gone forward according to my light. Often in my progress I have had faint glimpses of the Absolute Truth, God and daily the conviction is growing upon me that He alone is real and all else is unreal.
Introduction to An Autobiography, (1966), p. 11
The word Satya (Truth) is derived from Sat, which means 'being'. Nothing is or exists in reality except Truth. That is why Sat or Truth is perhaps the most important name of God. In fact it is more correct to say that Truth is God, than to say that God is Truth. But as we cannot do without a ruler or a general, such names of God as 'King of Kings' or 'The Amighty' are and will remain generally current. On deeper thinking, however, it will be realized, that Sat or Satya is the only correct and fully significant name for God.
And where there is Truth, there also is knowledge which is true. Where there is no Truth, there can be no true knowledge. That is why word Chit or knowledge is associated with the name of God. And where there is true knowledge, there is always bliss (Ananda). Their sorrow has no place. And even as Truth is eternal, so is the bliss derived from it. Hence we know God as sat-chit-ananda, one who combines in Himself Truth, knowledge and Bliss.
From Yeravada Mandir (1957), pp. 1-2
It is that which alone is, which constitutes the stuff of which all things are made, which subsists by virtue of its own power, which is not supported by anything else but supports everything that exists. Truth alone is eternal, everything else is momentary. It need not assume shape or form. It is pure intelligence as well as pure bliss. We call it Ishwara1 because everything is regulated by its will. It and the law it promulgates are one. Therefore, it is not a blind law. It governs the entire universe.
Ashram Observance in Action (1959), p. 37
Truth is God—nothing else, nothing less… The nearest word answering to Truth in Sanskrit is Sat. Sat means 'being'. God alone is Sat. He alone is; nothing and no one else is. Everything else is illusion. Satya means sat. Truth alone is in the world, nothing else is. This is easy enough to understand. Then what is truth? For us it is a relative term. Absolute Truth is God. Whatever we understand by God is implied in Truth…. It alone really sustains us. For a time many other things may sustain us, but this alone sustains us for all time.
Truth gives perennial joy. In Sanskrit we have the word Sat, Chit, Ananda. It is a fine combination. The three together make one word. Truth is knowledge also. It is life. You feel vitality in you when you have got Truth in you. Again it gives bliss. It is a permanent thing of which you cannot be robbed. You may be sent to the gallows, or put to torture; but if you have Truth in you, you will experience an inner joy.
Conversations of Gandhiji (1949), pp. 35-36
In my early youth I was taught to repeat what in Hindu scriptures are known as one thousand names of God. But these one thousand names of God were by no means exhaustive. We believe—and I think it is the truth—that God has as many names as there are creatures and, therefore we also say that God is nameless and, since God has many forms we also consider Him formless, and since He speaks to us through many tongues, we consider Him to be speechless and so on. And so when I came to study Islam I found that Islam too had many names for God. I would say with those who say God is Love, God is Love. But deep down in me I used to say that though God may be Love, God is Truth, above all. If it is possible for the human tongue to give the fullest description of god, I have come to the conclusion that for myself, God is Truth.
But two years ago, I went a step further and said that Truth is God. You will see the fine distinction between the two statements, viz. that God is Truth and Truth is God. And I came to that conclusion after a continuous and relentless search after Truth which began nearly fifty years ago. I then found that the nearest approach to Truth was through Love. But I also found that the love has many meanings in the English language at least and that human love in the sense of passion could become a degrading thing also. I found too that love in the sense of Ahimsa2, had only a limited number of votaries in the world. But I never found a double meaning in connection with Truth and even atheists had not demurred to the necessity or power of Truth. But in their passion for discovering Truth the atheists have not hesitated to deny the very existence of God—from their own point of view rightly. And it was because of this reasoning that I saw that rather than say that God is Truth I should say that Truth is God.
I recall the name of Charles Bradlaugh who delighted to call himself an atheist, but knowing as I do something of Him, I would never regard him as an atheist. I would call him a God fearing man, though I know that he would reject the claim. His face would redden if I would say that "Mr. Bradlaugh, you are a Truth-fearing man, and so a God-fearing man." I would automatically disarm his criticism by saying that Truth is God, as I have disarmed criticisms of many a young man. Add to this the great difficulty that millions have taken the name of God and in His name committed nameless atrocities. Not that scientists very often do not commit cruelties in the name of Truth. I know how in the name of Truth and science inhuman cruelties are perpetrated on animals when men perform vivisection. There are thus a number of difficulties in the way, no matter how you describe God. But the human mind is a limited thing, and you have to labour under limitations when you think of a being or an entity who is beyond the power of man to grasp.
And when we another thing in Hindu philosophy, viz. God alone is and nothing else exists, and the same truth you find emphasized and exemplified in the Kalma3 of Islam. There you find it clearly stated that God alone is and nothing else exists. In fact Sanskrit word for Truth is a word which literally means that which exists—Sat. For these and several other reasons that I can give you I have come to the conclusion that the definition, 'Truth is God', gives me the greatest satisfaction. And when you want to find Truth as God the only inevitable means is Love, i.e., non-violence, and since I believe that ultimately the means and end are convertible terms, I should not hesitate to say that God is Love.
Young India, 31-12-'31, pp. 427-28
The seers have described God as 'Neti', 'Neti' ('Not this', Not this'). Truth will elude you. The sum total of all that is true is Truth. But you can't sum up all that is true…. There are things that can't be analyzed. God who can be analyzed by my poor intellect won't satisfy me. Therefore I do not try to analyze Him. I go behind the relative to the absolute and I get my peace of mind.
An ashiest with Gandhi (1958), p. 30
God is not a person…. The truth is that God is the force. He is the essence of life. He is pure and undefiled consciousness. He is eternal. And yet, strangely enough, all are not able to derive either benefit from or shelter in the all-pervading living presence.
Harijan, 22-6-'47, p. 200
God is not some person outside ourselves or away from the universe. He pervades everything, and is omniscient as well as omnipotent. He does not need any praise or petitions. Being immanent in all beings, He hears everything and reads our innermost thoughts. He abides in our hearts and is nearer to us than the nails are to the fingers.
Ashram Observances in Action (1959), p. 36
He is the greatest democrat the world knows, for He leaves us 'unfettered' to make our own choice between evil and good. He is the greatest tyrant ever known, for He often dashes the cup from our lips and under cover of free will leaves us a margin so wholly inadequate as to provide only mirth for Himself at our expense. Therefore it is that Hinduism calls it all His sport—Lila, or calls it all an illusion—Maya. We are not, He alone Is. And if we will be, we must eternally sing His praise and do His will. Let us dance to the tune of His Bansi-lute, and all would be well.
Young India, 5-3-25, p. 81
God is good not in the same sense as X is good. X is comparatively good. He is more good than evil, but God is wholly good. There is no evil in Him. God made man in His own image. Unfortunately for us man fashioned Him in his own. This arrogation has landed mankind in a sea of troubles. God is the Supreme Alchemist. In His presence all iron and dross turn into pure gold. Similarly does all evil turn into good.
Again God lives but not as we. His creatures live but to die. But God is life. Therefore, goodness and all it connotes is not an attribute. Goodness is God. Goodness conceived as apart from Him is a lifeless thing and exists only whilst it is a paying policy. So are all morals. If they are to live in us they must be considered and cultivated in their relation to God. We try to become good because we want to reach and realize God. All the dry ethics of the world turn to dust because apart from God they are lifeless. Coming from God, they come with life in them. They become part of us and ennoble us.
Conversely, God conceived without Goodness is without life. We give him life in our vain imaginings.
Harijan, 24-8-47, p. 289
God is that indefinable something which we all feel but which we do not know…. To me God is Truth and Love; God is ethics and morality; God is fearlessness. God is the source of Light and Life and yet He is above and beyond all these. God is conscience. He is even the atheism of the atheist. For in His boundless love God permits the atheist to live. He is the searcher of hearts. He transcends speech and reason. He knows us and our hearts better than we do ourselves. He does not take us at our word for He knows that we often do not mean it, some knowingly and others unknowingly. He is a personal God to those who need His personal presence. He is embodied to those who need His touch. He is the purest essence. He simply is to those who have faith. He is all things to all men. He is in us and yet above and beyond us. One may banish the word 'God', but one has no power to banish the Thing Itself.
Young India, 5-3-'25, pp. 80-81
There is an indefinable mysterious Power that pervades everything. I feel it, though I do not see it. It is this Unseen Power which makes itself felt and yet defies all proof, because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses. It transcends the senses.
But it is possible to reason out the existence of God to a limited extent. Even in ordinary affairs we know that people do not know who rules or why and how he rules. And yet they know that there is a power that certainly rules. In my tour last year in Mysore I met many poor villagers and I found upon inquiry that they did not know who ruled Mysore. They simply said some God ruled it. If the knowledge of these poor people was so limited about their ruler, I who am infinitely lesser than God, than they to their ruler, need not be surprised if I do not realize the presence of God, the King of Kings. Nevertheless I do feel as the poor villagers felt about Mysore that there is orderliness in the Universe, there is an unalterable Law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is not a blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings and thanks to the marvelous researches of Sir J. C. Bose, it can now be proved that even matter is life. That Law then which governs all life is God. Law and the Lawgiver are one. I may not deny the law or the lawgiver, because I know so little about it or Him. Even as my denial or ignorance of the existence of an earthy power will avail me nothing, so will not my denial of God and His law liberate from it operation; whereas humble and mute acceptance of Divine Authority makes life's journey easier even as the acceptance of earthly rules makes life under it easier.
I do dimly perceive that whilst everything around me is ever-changing, ever-dying, there is underlying all that change a Living Power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves, and re-creates. That informing Power or Spirit is God. And since nothing else I see merely through the senses can or will persist, He alone is.
And is this Power benevolent or malevolent? I see it as purely benevolent. For I can see that in the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists. Hence I gather that God is Life, Truth, Light. He is Love. He is the Supreme Good.
Young India, 11-10-'28, p. 340
But He is no God who merely satisfies the intellect, If He ever does. God to be God must rule the heart and transform it. He must express Himself in every smallest act of His votary. This can only be done through a definite realization more real than the five senses can ever produce. Sense perceptions can be, often are, false and deceptive, however real they may appear to us. Where there is realization outside the senses it is infallible. It is proved not by extraneous evidence but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within.
Such testimony is to be found in the experiences of an unbroken line of prophets and sages in all countries and climes. To reject this evidence is to deny oneself.
This realization is preceded by an immovable faith. He who would in his own person test the fact of God's presence can do so by a living faith. And since faith itself cannot be proved by extraneous evidence, the safest course is to believe in the moral government of the world and therefore in the supremacy of the moral law, the law of Truth and Love. Exercise of faith will be the safest where there is a clear determination summarily to reject all that is contrary to Truth and Love.
I confess….that I have no argument to convince….through reason. Faith transcends reason. All I can advise is not to attempt the impossible.
Young India, 11-10-'28, pp. 340-41
If we exist, if our parents and their parents have existed, then it is proper to believe in the Parent of the whole creation. If He is not, we are nowhere…. He is one and yet many; He is smaller than an atom, and bigger than the Himalayas; He is contained even in a drop of the ocean, and yet not even the seven seas can compass Him. Reason is powerless to know Him. He is beyond the reach or grasp of Reason. But I need not labour the point. Faith is essential in this matter. My logic can make and unmake innumerable hypotheses. An atheist might floor me in a debate. But my faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, "God is, was and ever shall be."
Young India, 21-1-'26, p.30
Experience has humbled me enough to let me realize the specific limitations of Reason. Just as matter misplaced becomes dirt, Reason misused becomes lunacy.
Rationalists are admirable beings, rationalism is a hideous monster when it claims for itself omnipotence. Attribution of omnipotence to Reason is as bad a piece of idolatry as is worship of stock and stone believing it to be God...
I plead not for suppression of Reason, but for a due recognition of that in us which sanctifies Reason itself.
Young India, 14-10-'26, p. 359
There are subjects where Reason cannot take us far and we have to accept things on faith. Faith then does not contradict Reason but transcends it. Faith is a kind of sixth sense which works in cases which are without the purview of Reason.
Harijan, 6-3-'37, p. 26.

Jackson plunked leadoff hitter Jose Altuve before walking Brett Wallace. Chris Carter then doubled in a pair with one out before Jackson struck out two straight to end the inning.
Houston's Marwin Gonzalez hit an opposite-field, three-run homer in the second before Jackson retired nine of the next 10 batters, striking out seven of them. He was replaced by James Russell for the fifth inning.
His nine strikeouts were one more than he'd had in his previous five spring starts.

Any other distributions good for a starting point for a laptop, I am going to be learning a few programming languages in the near future.
Python, Java, C# probably to start with… Any suggestions as to which distribution on a laptop.
Thank you in advance

The 16th Annual Cruise-In Car Show, a presentation of Mainstreet Elberton, is in the books after this past weekend.
Assistant Director of Community Affairs for the City of Elberton Tiffany Gibbons says despite the threat of rain on the day of the event, that they had a very solid turnout.
"Considering the weather and that it rained earlier in the day, we had a great turn out. We had at around seventy cars enter this year a lot local but a lot took their chances and came from out of town, so we were really glad to see them arrive and support the community and we had volunteers and support from all directions. It turned to be a really nice day", says Gibbons.
One new addition this year was a variety of vendors that offered items which could not be purchased at any of the local eating establishments on the square.
Gibbons says that is something they will probably look to continue at future events.
"That was new this year; we thought we would try to add a little to the festivities they were there with the funnel cakes, lemonades, and ribbon potatoes. That seemed to be a hit so we will probably keep that up maybe add to it in the next year just to see how that goes", says Gibbons.
This year's winners for the following categories are for Owner's Choice Classic Car – Mark Richey, Classic Truck – Mike Brooks, and Rat Rod – Jason Collins.
People's Choice Car – Kyle Lunsford, Truck – David Bowers, Motorcycle – Andy Dean; and Best in Show this year was presented to Ben Carey.

There are three words that we must combine with our daily life in order to obtain inner peace they are love,compassion,and prayer
Love ignites our divine flame,while compassion plugs us to the source of all love,Prayer is a divine communication we need not verbalise this but knowing we are eternally connected with our creator simply utilizes praying without ceasing
The heart is the jewel of your being it contains the secrets of compassion and love
The mind cannot obtain happiness untill it has completly surrended to peace
It is true love dwells within the heart but love can also take place within the mind.The heart can express but the mind has to take action in order for your entire being to express this divine truth

A spiritual treatment
Wednesday, April 30, 2008, 9:53 AM [General]
I am one with spirit and spirit is one with me.I am one with all that spirit is and spirit is all of me.
Spirit is everywhere and within everything there is no place where spirit is not,For spirit is that spark that gives life and sustains life.
Spirit is the sparkle in that childs eye,the perfume in that flower and the breath in us
Spirit is universal and has no dogma attached to it for it is free,Spirit is like the wind it moves freely invisible to most but it can be felt and it can be felt as love.
Love to you all and may you all know the spirit within
So happy

First time in Austin....... where to eat... need help
Hello Austin Chowhounders,
My wife and I will be in Austin for the 1st time next weekend.
Please help me plan out the best eating schedule for Saturday - Monday.
Thanks in advance
Welcome to Austin but please give us some more information to help us out. Budget? Where are you coming from? Will you have a car? Likes/dislikes? Without that information I am afraid you request will be ignored by many. That being said, here are my stand by recommendations:
1. Uchi- $$$$
2. BBQ pilgrimage to Lockhart- cheap
3. Mutton and ribs at Sam's BBQ- cheap
4. Tex-Mex breakfast at Habenero Cafe- cheap; b'fast and lunch
5. Carnita's Tacos at Angie's (differen than the carnitas plate)-cheap; b'fast and lunch
6. Flip Happy Crepe- b'fast and lunch
6. visit to the flagship Whole Foods for a picnic in Zilker Park
Places that get good reviews on this board but I have not been:
Lu lu B's
Backstage Steakhouse
Asia Cafe
re: Honey Bee
Honey Bee,
We will be at the Four Seasons...
no budget... we just wanna eat at places that the locals love...
The 2 BBQ joints you mentioned definitely got my mouth watering...
So would you say Austin is famous for BBQ and Tex/Mex... and what other cuisines would you say that are well represented in Austin....
Thanks in advance for all your great tips..
re: Perceptor
Great, that helps. I'll expand a little on my previous recs:
At the Four Seasons is a new restaurant called Trio. (The hotel recently underwent renovations and Trio was added.) I have not been there, but it is on my list of places to try. Even if you don't eat there, it is probably a good place to grab a drink. Here is a link to a relevant thread:
Austin is definitely a BBQ and Tex-Mex kinda town. Regarding Tex-Mex you have two ways to go (1) an actual restaurant or (2) a taco trailer. Where you end up partially depends on the type of experience you desire. Do you want drinks and a nice atmosphere or are you purely looking for tasty food?
If looking for a Tex-Mex place with a fun, trendy atmosphere then you may want to consider dinner at El Chile on Manor or Polvo's on South First. Polvo's is not universally loved on this board, but I have always had good experiences and really enjoy their spicy beef fajitas. Both of these places will be busy and have an Austin vibe to them. Someone is likely to recommend you go to Chuy's and I'll tell you right now that I suggest you head to El Chile or Polvo's over Chuy's.
There are a number of less trendy Tex-Mex places in town that are only open for breakfast and lunch. These places are often family run and a great option for a casual meal. Of these, I really like Habanero Cafe on Oltorf. Personally, I am also very fond of the carnitas tacos at Angie's on East 7th. However, this is the only menu item of theirs that I love, but I get cravings for them if i go more than a month without eating them. SOOOO good and bad for you.
In category number 2, the taco trailer:
A local Austin hound, MPH, has slowly been chronicling his adventures in East Austin working his way through little known taco trailers and small restaurants. Most of these places are not in the trendy parts of town, but can offer amazing food. Here are a couple links to his threads:
Part 11 in the series:
Part 9 in the series:
Regarding BBQ you also have two categories in-town and out of town. In town, I like Sam's BBQ on East 12th which is open until 2 am. It is a hole in the wall, but I find that is has great character. Also in town is House Park BBQ at 12th and Lamar which closes around 2:00 each day. I personally recommend against Salt Lick, County Line, and Stubb's.
Around 2nd street is a place called Lambert's which markets upscale BBQ. I have had fun there and find their food decent, but not outstanding(excellent fried pies though). Some hounds have had more praise for the place. However, they have an upstairs bar that has live music and I have always had fun there.
If you can get out of town, drive to Lockhart (about 30 minutes) and take a little BBQ tour of Smitty's, Black's and Kruez. Gte a nibble at each place to find your own personal favorites. Each one has a fan base:
For upscale dining, I really do love Uchi. It is in a little house on South Lamar and is always packed. Take a look at the menu:
Whole Foods started in Austin and the flagship store on 6th street is unlike any other WF I have visited. It has many eat-in counters located within the market (ie, eat at the seafood counter among people buying their fish) as well as an area of to-go food at the north end of the store. There is a buffet, cheese counter, roasted nut station, dessert bar, etc.. And the store is near Zilker Park which makes it a great place to buy things for a picnic.
Flip Happy Crepes is an airstream trailer off Barton Springs road. They offer breakfast (on the weekends) and lunch. A great on the go option:
As for other cuisines well-represented in Austin, they all lag way behind the Mexican and BBQ offerings. There is a Vietnamese community up north on 183, but I would not make a trip out there from the Four Seasons. However, there is a new airstream parked on South Lamar near Oltorf called Lulu B's which sells bahn mi. I have not been there yet, but here is a recent thread:
Have fun in Austin!
re: Honey Bee
wow Honey Bee.... thank you SO MUCH for your detailed and informative suggestions... this will definitely help me to have a great eating weekend in Austin... i will be sure to report back on this board.
re: Honey Bee
Good job, HB! Yup. That would make an excellent selection. I second Polvo's, but say guajillo fajitas instead, and go at lunch. Things get sketchy at dinner.
Flip Happy is a very Old Austin vibe, however the lines and wait can get rather long. Still very worth it.
WF is a must for any of my out of town visitors.
I'd skip bbq in town and go to Lockhart and do what Honey Bee suggested.
I'm trying Uchi for the first time tomorrow.
Wouldn't bother with VietN.
re: amysuehere
Oh! and have a martini at the bar in Driskill Grill
re: amysuehere
hi amysue.
can't wait to hear what you think about uchi! please post.
good to know about polvo's being better for lunch and you are right, it is the guajillo fajitas I like there.
re: Honey Bee
Insider tip on Polvo's - you can ask for the guajillo fajitas and ask for "half beef, half pastor" which really is mixing two types of fajitas. Wonderful compliment to each other.
Yes, extreemely excited about tomorrow. Hope it lives up to my expectations...
Trying the Grove tonight...if we can get in. I'm not waiting an hour and a half just to sit down.
re: amysuehere
ice turbo @ jos..continental for the ears...

You Are Important
The coach is the person who communicates with parents, players, umpires, other coaches and your local associations. You facilitate the team by making sure all the equipment is there when it is needed. Most important are the players. You are teaching more than the skills and strategies of fastpitch. The ability to gracefully deal with success and failure, the persistence to keep trying and the confidence that these young ladies learn from you is priceless.

But I think it is important to direct you to my declaration of my biggest in-game pet peeve: "rogue" vs. "rouge." This misuse really, really bothers me. I understand that it is an easy typo, but I also believe that many people think that is how rogue is spelled. As I've said before, rouge is a cosmetic applied to your cheeks; rogue is a deadly killer who likes to make with the stabby. My common response to that is (stolen from someone else): Rouges are overpowdered. That statement often gets a mixed response from the chat audience -- many misread it and want to start a class war.
Another thing that makes me rather irritated is "ne" instead of "any" in any context or word form. It's only one letter shorter! It actually takes me longer to type "ne," because I naturally type "any" as a touch typist. I know some people can't stand "plz" as an abbreviation, but I don't mind it anymore. "Please" is a much longer word than "plz," and people like shortcuts. But one letter! Gah! I need to get over it though and take Allie Brosh's approach. Maybe everyone who does it really only has one finger on each hand. I should be more tolerant.
Now, if everyone but funsuckers severely dislikes a particular thing, I don't think that is a pet peeve. For example, someone's stealing your gathering node while you are clearly fighting the mobs protecting it is not a pet peeve -- it is righteous anger. A mammoth sitting on a vendor, quest giver, or mailbox is reportable -- not a minor annoyance (also a really good target for Baby Spice).
But someone's asking a question in guild chat that can easily be looked up on Wowhead annoys some people but not others. If I know the answer off the top of my head, I am happy to respond. Not everyone feels that way and will insist on directing that person to the appropriate online resource.
What things bother you in game that aren't necessarily universal dislikes? How angry do you get about them? Which pet peeve is the worst for you?

There is performance, and there is performance art. Spend an evening with South Boundary and enjoy both.
In a collaborative movement with some of Aiken's talented artists, the audience will be treated to the distinctive sound of the local men's a cappella chorus while an artist stands at an easel ready to bring the song to life on canvas.
Each painting will be a black-on-white interpretation of the song and will be completed while the men sing. In some cases, the artist will have less than four minutes to finish the piece. Works will be created by a diverse group including teachers, art students and business people.
Some are experienced artists while others, like Michael Norris, come with a fresh perspective. A junior at USC Aiken, Norris switched his major to graphic design last fall and is excited about the opportunity to participate in "A Song in Our Art."
"Art has always been my passion, but I haven't gotten much public exposure yet," Norris said when asked about the event. "This will be a new experience for me, and I'm very excited for it."
Following the performance, the audience is invited to meet the musicians and the artists and bid on the original art. South Boundary will select several pieces for consideration for the cover of their third CD, scheduled for an early fall release. Artists are also invited to offer some pieces from their personal portfolios.
Proceeds from the South Boundary performances are used to support music programs in the community through four boys choirs as well as vocal music scholarships at USCA.
"A Song in Our Art" will be presented March 1 at Trinity United Methodist Church. Performance time is 7 p.m. and tickets are $5 for students, $10 for seniors 60 or older and $12 for adults. Tickets will be available at the door, from South Boundary members or by calling 644-8855.

Hi All.
I am back on Pinterest here and getting back into it. Initially I had quite mixed feelings about the platform due to some of the well publicised copyright issues with it. I, like many other enthusiastic 'pinners' was unsure about who owned the content I was re-pinning or uploading, in addition to not knowing how to protect my work once it had been pinned. I have subsequently removed some of my design work from there, but after doing some reading (here and here are helpful starters), I have decided I am happy to take a gamble. Quite simply because I am not giving up any of the ownership rights I may have simply by posting something on Pinterest. Also, because I am currently not posting as a company but as an individual.
After reading this motivational piece about designer Peter Som and his Pinterest following of a staggering 3.3 million (!!!!) I knew that I had work to do. Especially after his quote stated,'"There's no real strategy, I have to say. It happened quite organically," Som told BoF. "I actually do a lot of Pinterest myself and I'm assuming that's why there are so many followers — because it's really me and it's authentic and genuinely what I like. I think people respond to that. It's that simple. It's just me and my voice." Ah, so it is that simple huh?
So….I got to work tweaking my Pinterest page and organised it. I have included a little bit below about the names of each section, and there are some example images of my soon to be very dynamic boards.
