Yawn. More ridiculously priced Apple accessories like the Nest.
My Honeywell WIFI thermostat from Home Depot with the app does just fine for $80; 1/3 the price. It may not "learn" (debatable whether that even helps or how good it is) but it's programmable for 7 days and can change the settings and schedule from the app. Works just fine.
Expect 3/4 of the stuff to be generally unaffordable to the masses outside of splurging, or just 3 times the cost of other brands.

A telephony network for enabling the origination and termination of telephone calls between one or more subscriber terminals connected to a public packet network with an open addressing protocol and one or more non-subscriber terminals connected to a PSTN network. Subscribers to the telephony network have E.164 numbers mapped to their current IP address and published by a mapping server so other subscribers and non-subscribers can call the subscriber. The mapped information is published on either a HTML or XML page for direct use over the Internet by other subscribers or for use by a gateway device. The gateway device enables non-subscribers on the PSTN to directly call subscribers. Calls between subscribers completely by-pass the PSTN. Subscribers can also call anyone with a phone number whether they are a subscriber or not.

7. The process recited in
The present invention is generally related to the field of Internet telephony, and particularly related to an Internet Protocol ("IP") based telephony system that allows for the origination and termination of phone calls to and from the Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN"). The present invention involves the mapping of subscribers' E.164 numbers to their current IP address and publishing the mapped information in a distributed form so other subscribers and non-subscribers can call the subscriber without reliance on a central answering position. The mapped information is published on either a Hyper Text Markup Language ("HTML") document or eXtended Markup Language ("XML") database for direct use over the Internet by other subscribers or for use by a gateway device. The gateway device enables non-subscribers on the PSTN to directly call subscribers. Calls between subscribers completely by-pass the PSTN. Subscribers can also call anyone with a phone number whether they are a subscriber or not.
Traditional telephone service is circuit-switched—every call is transmitted over dedicated facilities reserved for that particular call. Long distance calls are transmitted from the user's phone line over copper wires to a local telephone company's network switch, which converts the call to digital format and hands it off to the long distance carrier. The long distance carrier then routes the call over its network to a local telephone company's network serving the call recipient. That carrier's local network switch re-converts the call to analog signals and connects the call to a dedicated line serving the recipient. As long as the call is ongoing, a circuit—a dedicated splice of bandwidth—remains open throughout all three networks involved in transmitting the voice signals. Both the called party and the calling party pay a fee to their local telephone company for access to each company's local network, and the calling party pays an additional fee, usually on a per minute basis, for use of the long distance carrier's network.
Internet-based telephone services, or IP telephony, presently offer significant benefits over traditional telephone service. Although users generally pay a fee for Internet access, it is usually a set amount on a monthly basis regardless of the amount of bandwidth used. If two people use the Internet to call one another, they can by-pass both local telephone companies' networks and the long distance carrier's network, without incurring additional fees for making such a call. This type of IP telephony, that does not require any intermediary service (charged at some price), is extremely inconvenient because it requires both users to be using the same software at the same time and to know that the other user is available on-line at the designated time of the call. Other technologies have been developed to enhance the convenience of calling, but services utilizing these technologies often require additional hardware devices to be installed on each user's system and have introduced other issues, such as service quality, which will be discussed more fully below.
Internet service providers are naturally interested in IP telephony because IP telephony increases the demand for access services. Customers have been reluctant to use IP telephony, however, because the quality of such services has not been as high as standard telephony and there have been significant limitations on who could be called using IP telephony. Nevertheless, Internet Telephony Service Providers ("ITSP") are realizing there is a significant marketing advantage associated with having the ability to offer IP telephony. Since some IP telephony services are of a lower quality than traditional telephony, this provides ITSP's a way to version their service on quality: high quality/high price and low quality/low price, with variations in between being developed. By offering multiple versions of their product, ITSPs can better match their products against their customer's needs and their willingness to pay. This enables them to extract the full value of their services from their customers.
A Voice over IP ("VoIP") system enables the transmission of telephone calls over an IP data network such as the Internet. A VoIP system handles a telephone call over most of the network as just another stream of data. Typically, an IP telephony user dials a toll-free number to connect the user to an IP telephony gateway. The gateway is the key element here, as it bridges the public telephone network and the public or private IP network providing the service. Once connected to the gateway, the user dials his or her account number (for billing purposes) and the destination phone number of the call. The gateway receives telephone signals on one side, converts them to IP packets, and outputs the packets to public or private IP networks for routing to the terminating user, and vice versa. A typical packet includes 10 to 30 milliseconds worth of conversation. Each packet is coded with the second party's phone number, and compressed for rapid transmission.
The packets travel the IP network, passing through routers, computers that operate like switches by reading the addresses on each packet and assigning them to appropriate transmission lines, to arrive at a gateway that decompresses them and converts the packets back into a voice transmission signal. The gateway then passes the call to the local phone network, which delivers it to the intended party.
One of the key challenges emerging from the integration between circuit switched (traditional phone) and packet switched (IP) networks is how to address calls that pass from one network service to another. Currently, it is possible to originate calls from IP address-based networks to other networks, however it is difficult to terminate calls from other networks, such as the PSTN, to IP address-based networks. Instead, calls from the PSTN are typically being terminated on the PSTN. For example, in PCT Application Number PCT/US99/29171, published as International Publication Number WO 00/41383, by Ranalli et al., a system is described for resolving a PSTN number to an IP address for voice communication between two simultaneous users over the Internet, but which system lacks an IP-enabled gateway for completing calls from an Internet user to a PSTN phone or from a PSTN phone to an Internet user. Hence, a calling party must use a standard terminal device, such as a phone, for connecting to another user on the PSTN. Therefore, there is a need for an addressing system across both PSTN and public packet networks that can allow a PSTN caller to access a subscriber on a public packet network and vice versa.
Although intermediate gateways exist, they present another problem in prior VoIP systems. As noted above, in some systems, a user is required to call a gateway, which then calls the recipient's number. This results in over dialing and may cause some calls to be blocked at the receiving end. Further, in other prior systems, the mapping data for logged on subscribers is not published in a public forum that can be accessed by other subscribers and gateways connected to PSTN terminals. Rather, the providers of such systems distribute a hardware device to subscribers only, who use that device to pull mapping data for other subscribers from a database server. Therefore there is a need for a system that handles the entire call without a central answering position (an over dialing gateway) and which allows any user, even if through an intermediary, easy public access to subscriber mapping data. The present invention allows subscribers to call other subscribers and completely bypass the PSTN local office by using a call agent browser to connect to a gateway device and to send mapping data and receive mapping data from other users via distributed servers. The call agent can be an applet or any specifically enabled Internet browser. The call agent can also support soft-phone software applications, provide a user profile, and other user information.
The present invention allows for the origination and termination of phone calls to and from any PSTN or IP enabled voice communication terminal by mapping public E.164 numbers or identifications ("IDs") for subscribers to their current Internet IP address. Mapped ID and address information for each subscriber is then published to an HTML document or an XML database for direct use by other logged on IP telephony subscribers or by a gateway that enables calls to and from non-subscribers. The gateway enables non-subscribers to directly call subscribers without a PSTN connection to the subscriber. Subscribers completely by-pass charges associated with the local PSTN and can call anyone with a unique identifier such as a phone number regardless of whether they on the PSTN.
The Internet is a data network that carries data in a digital form in specially formatted packets. This is contrasted with the PSTN, which is a circuit switched network. The Internet uses the TCP/IP protocol, which enables any TCP/IP device or network of devices to connect to the network and function as though they were part of a single network. In order to locate any specific point, or host, on the Internet, a unique IP address is used for each host. A host can have a dedicated IP address, as is frequently the case with large bandwidth access customers, or a dynamically generated IP address, as is the case with any dial-up user. Since IP addresses are numerical, and therefore difficult to remember, or dynamic, and therefore constantly changing, and because many users are connected to different hosts all the time, many users are also assigned more permanent types of addresses, such as a Simple Mail Transport Protocol ("SMTP") e-mail address or a Voice Profile for Internet Mail ("VPIM") voicemail system address. There are many other types of address mechanisms available on the Internet.
IP Telephony subscribers may gain access to the Internet through a number of different means. A roaming subscriber using a wireless device (e.g. 802.11a/b/g protocol compatible devices) could log onto the Internet from multiple locations. A subscriber relying on fixed access could only connect to the Internet through a wire-line, a cable-modem connection, etc. In accordance with the present invention, calls to an IP Telephony subscriber may originate from the PSTN through wireline or wireless telephones, or from other IP Telephony subscribers, provided the identity of the called number and a corresponding IP address is known to the calling party, which will be further discussed below in greater detail.
So as to technically accommodate the growing number of telephone users around the world, and increased interest in Internet telephony, the International Telecommunications Union ("ITU") has adopted a number of standards or protocols. One such protocol is E.164, which provides a uniform means for identifying any telephone number in the world to any telephony user in the world. This protocol has been widely adopted, along with other protocols, such as H.323 and H.450, which collectively operate to improve the quality and functionality of IP telephony. For purposes of the present invention, however, the E.164 protocol is most important. There are six different components to an IP telephony network that supports the E.164 protocol within the context of the preferred embodiment of the present invention:
(1) E.164. E.164 is the ITU-T recommendation for Global Switched Telephone Network ("GSTN") numbering. E.164 is a sixteen digit numbering scheme that provides a unique telephone number for every subscriber in the world. The E.164 address provides a globally unique, language independent identifier for resources on public telecommunication networks. E.164 numbers are used to identify ordinary phones, fax machines, pagers, and data modems.
(2) IP Address. An IP address is a 32-bit number that identifies the host that is sending or receiving information sent in packets across the Internet. When an Internet user attempts to locate a website by entering a Universal Resource Locator ("URL") request, the user is also sending the IP address for the host that the user is using at the time so HTML pages from the website can be returned to that user. The URL request includes an Internet domain name that is translated into a corresponding IP address to locate the host that is storing the requested website. E-mail messages and many other different types of messages sent or received by hosts must include IP addressing information in order operate. An IP address has two parts: an identifier of a particular network on the Internet; and an identifier of the particular host (the host can be a server or a workstation) within that network.
(3) File Transfer Protocol ("FTP"). FTP is a standard Internet protocol that represents the simplest manner of exchanging files between computers on the Internet. Like the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ("HTTP"), discussed below, which enables the transfer of displayable Web pages and related files, FTP is an application protocol that uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols. FTP enables the transfer of specific files on one computer to a specific location on another computer. FTP is commonly used to transfer website files from their creator to the computer that acts as their server for everyone on the Internet. And ISP might, for example, operate an FTP-enabled server for providing IP address information and other information to its customers
(4) The Hypertext Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the set of rules for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. Relative to the TCP/IP suite of protocols (which are the basis for information exchange on the Internet), HTTP is an application protocol. Essential concepts that are part of HTTP include (as its name implies) the idea that files contain references to other files whose selection will elicit additional transfer requests. Any Web server machine contains, in addition to the HTML and other files it can serve, an HTTP daemon, a program that is designed to wait for HTTP and FTP requests and handle them when they arrive.
(5) Hypertext Markup Language. HTML is the set of markup symbols, codes or words that are inserted in a file intended for display on a World Wide Web page. The markup tells a requesting browser how to display website pages, words and images for the user of that browser. Each individual markup code is referred to as an element. Some elements come in pairs that indicate when some display effect is to begin and when it is to end.
(6) IP Telephony Terminal. This term is generally used in to refer to a set of facilities for managing the delivery of voice information using IP. VoIP is one means of delivering voice data using the Internet Protocol. In general, VoIP refers to the process of sending voice information in digital form in discrete packets over the Internet, rather than sending voice information in analog form (or analog converted to digital and then converted back to analog form) in the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the PSTN.
While the preferred embodiment of the present invention relies on existing E.164 numbering management systems, the operation of the present invention is not dependent on these systems. At the present time, the ITU Telecommunication Standards Board assigns country/service codes, and within a geographic area, a national or regional numbering administration has the responsibility of managing the numbering plan for the countries assigned to that area. To have the E.164 number allocation process managed by the existing numbering plan administrations can expedite the allocation process, leading to an earlier deployment of Internet telephony services.
To operate IP telephony services in accordance with the present invention, IP telephony service providers will need to obtain blocks of E.164 numbers from numbering plan administrations for their subscribers. An IP telephony subscriber with a specific E.164 number will ordinarily subscribe to the service of one IP telephony service provider, such as their ISP. The service provider or a trusted third party provider will maintain the data related to that subscriber, including the IP address at which the subscriber can currently be reached, as will be described in further detail below in reference to
The IP address of the subscriber 116 may be an IP address for a computer station, an IP-telephone, an IP mobile telephone, an IP-PBX, a SMTP address of a unified messaging system, a SMTP address of an e-mail system, or any similar type of address.
If the subscriber 116 is logged on to the Internet 112 and has indicated that she is available to receive telephone calls, a session will be established over the Internet 112 between the gateway 108 connected to the PSTN user and the subscriber 116, during which packets of information will be transmitted back and forth between the subscriber 116 and the gateway 108. The gateway 108 will be described in greater detail with reference to
Also, as described above with reference to
The ITHS 114 actively operates to maintain current data on all subscribers. For example, ITHS 114 will routinely use the HTTP protocol to retrieve an HTML document including mapping data for other subscribers. The ITHS 114 will determine the IP address and E.164 ID for each subscriber, as well as the time they connected to the ITHS 114. The ITHS 114 will then attempt to connect to each subscriber. If the connection is acknowledged, the host file will be updated with the IP address and E.164 ID of the subscriber and the subscriber's status will be updated to In-Service. If the connection fails, the subscriber's status will be updated to Not-In-Service.
Although only two status states are described above, a subscriber's IP telephony terminal essentially has one of three different states. Each state has a certain level of readiness depending on the IP network to which the IP telephony terminal is connected. When in an "idle" state, no calls can be delivered to the IP telephony terminal of a subscriber. This can occur because the terminal is powered off or it is powered on but not connected to the IP network. When in this state, no dynamic IP address can be assigned to the terminal and no IP telephony calls can be delivered to it. When in a "standby" state, the IP telephony terminal is powered on and connected to the IP network and has an IP address assigned to it, but the IP telephony application is not running. In this state, no calls can be delivered to the IP telephony terminal. In the "ready" state, the IP telephony terminal is connected to the IP network, has an IP address assigned to it, and the IP telephony application has been invoked. Under such circumstances, the terminal is ready to receive an incoming IP telephony call.
Hence, once the terminal has established an IP network connection with the ITHS 114, thereby becoming part of the IP telephony network, in either the standby or ready state, the subscriber's IP telephony application, which for purposes of the present invention is referred to as a "client connector," essentially causes the IP address assigned to the terminal and the corresponding E.164 ID for that terminal to be published, as an HTML document or XML database, within the ITHS 114. Although there could be only a single ITHS 114, for scalability purposes, it would be preferable to have multiple ITHS distributed throughout the IP telephony network.
Since the mapping data is published to documents that can be read by any Internet browser, the information can be easily accessed via any enabled browser. The client connector also checks the status of other subscribers by checking to see if other subscribers have published their IP address and E.164 ID, and then updates the local file used by the client connector with their current IP addresses and E.164 IDs. Once the appropriate information has been published the IP telephony terminal is able to place and receive real-time voice calls between other published agents using easily recognizable telephone numbers rather then cryptic IP address.
For multiple subscribers sharing a common IP address, such as in a company or office building, the ITHS 114 might be connected to a DDS 218 that publishes mapping data for multiple subscribers and stores either static or dynamic data for each individual IP telephony subscriber. The gateway 108, as well as the various subscribers, also requests mapping data from the ITHS 114 for address resolution. Therefore, the main function of the ITHS 114 is to find and provide the IP address of the terminating IP telephony subscriber, when subscribers are in the ready or standby state, to any device requesting such information. When a call is to be delivered to a subscriber, such as subscriber 220 or 222, the ITHS 114 is consulted to determine the IP address for the called IP telephony subscriber. When a user is in the standby state, calls can be routed to an email server through the SMTP server 224, a voicemail box through the VPIM server 228 connected to the DDS 218, or any other similar addressable, IP-enabled device. The location of the SMTP server 224 and VPIM server 228 are for illustration purposes only. Each server could be accessible directly over the Internet, connected to the DDS, or accessible in any of a number of other manners.
Each ITHS 114 may include identical information, or different information depending on their physical location within the network and/or the subscribers served. The ITHS 114 could be configured as a stand-alone server connected to one or more gateways, as a partitioned portion of a server performing other functions, or even as an individual subscriber's terminal. If the function of the ITHS was configured within subscriber's terminals, the IP telephony network would largely operate in the same manner as the distributed information networks used to share music files. Likewise, there may be multiple gateways distributed throughout the network in a number of fashions, such as at each PSTN local office, one gateway may serve multiple PSTN local offices, or gateways may be located within PBX devices and other IP-enabled network devices.
As noted above, each subscriber terminal must be operating IP telephony software, such as the client connecter. The client connector could be very basic software that largely functions to enable a subscriber to publish mapped data, or the client connector could be used to perform a number of additional functions. For example, the client connector could be used to provide basic soft phone functionality (a function generally known in the art), or to create a user profile for a subscriber that provides a simple and effective mechanism for managing that subscriber's IP telephony activities. A user profile would also be published to the ITHS 114.
The process of connecting a call originated by one subscriber to another subscriber in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated with reference to
Referring now to
A telephone call between a PSTN telephone call originator 602 and an IP telephony subscriber call recipient 612 is illustrated in
Although the present invention is described above in the context of a preferred embodiment, it is not limited as such and could be implemented in any of a number of alternative embodiments.

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2003 The U.S. Army is deploying two medical teams overseas - one to Germany and the other to Iraq -- to examine a spate of pneumonia cases within the U.S. Central Command region that apparently killed two soldiers.
Since March 1, about 100 active duty service members deployed to Southwest Asia in support of military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq have come down with pneumonia, DoD civilian and military medical officials told reporters at a Pentagon press briefing today.
Army officials noted that 15 service members among the 100 had contracted severe pneumonia. Among those severe cases, according to an Army Surgeon General news release, 10 have recovered, two have died, and three remain hospitalized.
"We are deeply concerned about the (soldiers') deaths," said Dr. David N. Tornberg, deputy assistant secretary of defense for clinical and program policy. He emphasized that "the health, safety, well-being of our fighting men and women are of critical utmost importance to us."
And "we'll spare nothing to safeguard their well-being," declared Tornberg, accompanied at the briefing by Col. Robert DeFraites from the Army Surgeon General's Office.
The Army, Tornberg noted, is taking the lead in the investigation, which was prompted by the soldiers' deaths.
One epidemiological consultation team is heading for a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, to examine service members being treated there, DeFraites explained, while the other team is going to Iraq. He said both teams are en route to their destinations and may arrive as early as Aug. 6.
The two soldiers who died from pneumonia had both served in Iraq and were from different units, DeFraites noted, pointing out that 10 of the 15 cases of severe pneumonia had occurred in Iraq, "where the majority of troops are."
He said the other troops stricken with pneumonia within the CENTCOM area of operations were serving in Kuwait, Qatar and Uzbekistan.
The 15 troops who were treated for severe pneumonia had undergone respirator treatment to assist breathing, DeFraites noted.
One soldier died in June, he said, and the other in July. Fourteen of the severe pneumonia cases are soldiers and one is a Marine, he added. One being treated is a woman.
And of those 15 cases, two occurred in March, two In April, one in May, six in June, and four in July, DeFraites noted. The last confirmed case of pneumonia, he noted, was recorded July 30.
However, the exact cause of death of the two soldiers isn't presently known, DeFraites pointed out. The Army medical teams, he noted, will determine that.
There are two types of pneumonia, DeFraites said: infectious or non-infectious. Bacteria, fungi or parasites can cause infectious pneumonia, he explained, while non-infectious pneumonia can be acquired through environmental factors, such as by breathing in metal-, dust- or smoke-laden air.
Two of the 15 severe cases had the infectious type, DeFraites noted, which he said was the most common cause of pneumonia in the United States.
American military medical officials, DeFraites pointed out, have ruled out biological weapons as being a cause of the illnesses.
The colonel noted that 100 or so cases of pneumonia in CENTCOM's area of operations basically tracks with historical norms, given the size of the force. More than 160,000 service members are deployed in and around Southwest Asia supporting Operations Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
For example, he noted, every year the Army experiences between 400 and 500 cases of pneumonia worldwide.
"That's fairly standard, as surprising as it may seem," DeFraites observed, noting, "otherwise healthy young adults still do get pneumonia in the Army." He noted that 17 soldiers have died from pneumonia in the past five years.
The post-mortem reports for the two deceased soldiers which will be factored into the investigation -- probably won't be completed for at least a week to 10 days, DeFraites said.
He noted that the patients' names wouldn't be released because of privacy issues.

Cambria Automotive deals with parts in three different areas. If you're looking for a convenient, fast, and easy way to order parts, look no further than our parts ordering center. You'll be able to compare and purchase MRO goods in real time. This service offers the full benefits of supplier delivery and automated billing.
Cambria "Beyond Parts"
We continue to build our online "Beyond Parts" catalog in preparation for our international and domestic marketing initiatives for these revolutionary parts kits. Remember: THEY ARE ONLY AVAILABLE AT CAMBRIA. We have begun to get responses from heavy duty truck parts dealers in parts of Europe and Africa. These kits are also now available to dealers and customers all across the country. We have made it very easy for you to find what you need, order the kits, and have them shipped directly to your home or business. Keep watching this site as we complete this project. Have a Comment or Suggestion? We'd love to hear them.
Eliminating Downtime
As a truck user, you know that one of the most costly aspects of your business is downtime. In operations such as fleets, downtime is a "killer" that often requires extra units to perform the same task. As a truck supplier and a supplier of parts and services, we feel an obligation not only to encourage all practices that will reduce downtime to a minimum, but also work on some of the items to improve the repair process itself. Did you know that a partsman or heavy truck technician spends an average of 45 minutes per day waiting for parts? We surmised that by packaging all the items required to make the repair or a portion thereof, in one container we could reduce the wait and the turnaround time for repairs. "Kits" just had to be the answer. Even a simple kit that matches a bolt with a nut or a clip, all packaged together.
Because we have been at this for over 30 years and have developed a hard-earned reputation for being the innovators and state-of-the-art "Go-to Guys". We know better than anyone which items cost us and you extra time and have assembled repair parts kits designed to reduce your downtime. Shrink wrapped on cardboard and neatly assembled with "Helpful Hints", "BEYOND PARTS" will provide ongoing intelligent packaging of parts for all types of repairs. THIS IS A CAMBRIA COMPANIES EXCLUSIVE! Beyond Parts went even further, and now includes ALL MAKES wiper blades. These are non-treated pure rubber blades.

In less than a week, the United States will experience its first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System. The 3 ½ minute test will occur at 2 p.m. EST on Nov. 9, and is being conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Communications Commission and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Warm and dry usually makes for great weather conditions, but long periods of warm and dry can also make for an elevated fire risk. According to the National Weather Service in Paducah, Western Kentucky hasn't experienced a good, soaking rain since Sept. 25. There was some precipitation on Sept. 27 and 28, but only "trace" amounts. Fire officials said fires are easily sparked when grass and brush dry out.

A North Texas man has been accused of killing his wife whose body was found in their home after a standoff with police.
Denton County Jail records show 76-year-old Michael Stolz of Lewisville was held Wednesday on a murder charge.
Bond was not immediately set for Stolz, who was arrested around 10 p.m. Tuesday to end a nearly five-hour standoff. Online jail records did not list an attorney for him.
Capt. Kevin Deaver says co-workers were concerned that the woman was absent for several days and called police.
Police say Stolz refused to cooperate with officers. He barricaded himself in the home until a law enforcement robot was sent in and determined the man was not armed.
The woman's name was not immediately released. An autopsy has been ordered.

Introduced in 1950, Danish design pioneer Hans Wegner's Wishbone chair will be available in a rosy hue for the first time in its decorated history next month as part of NYC-based furniture showroom and store Suite New York's Pink Wishbone Project. Twenty percent of proceeds from the wood seating's sales will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. What's more, the cheery, slightly girly perch will be available for a full year at Suite New York, so there's no need to rush their doors in October.
If you're lucky enough to be in NYC on October 7th and invited to the private preview, Suite New York will be auctioning off coordinating cushions created by a passel of top-notch female designers including Sheila Bridges, Celerie Kemble, Bunny Williams and Kelly Wearstler at Barneys New York. The groovy pad that's shown comes from stylesetter Allegra Hicks, a judge from "Top Design" and ex-wife of design legend David Hicks' son. We could definitely see this flower child-inspired perch in a mod bedroom with shag carpeting or lending a pop of color in an all-white loft.

A Mets fan walks into a Manhattan sports bar.
He sees eight TVs. Three are showing the Yankees game. One is showing an NHL pre-game show. One is showing women's soccer. One is showing boxing. One is infomercials. And one is showing the bar specials. The Mets fan asks to have the Mets game put on a TV and the bartender happily obliges. But when the Bulls/Heat game begins later, the Mets game is switched off entirely. The Mets fan asks if we can get that game back on, and the bartender replies, "We kind of want to leave the basketball game on. It is a playoff game."
Despite beginning with someone walking into the bar, this is not a joke, it is a recent experience of mine, on a night in which I went to play bar trivia with some friends, finally getting together for our monthly happy hour that ends up actually happening two to three times a year. I'm fairly obsessed with the Mets, but I let it be. I'm just not the kind of person who is going to raise a ruckus and make someone's job unnecessarily difficult, particularly since I was only going to be glancing at the screen from time to time anyway. But the situation does bring to light the peculiar dynamic of being a Mets fan.
How many other fans are there that have to worry about whether their team's game will be on in a sports bar with eight TVs? Maybe White Sox fans? (Though they can probably content themselves with consistently outperforming the Cubs over the past decade, and that whole World Series championship thing.) But such is the life of a Mets fan, second-class fans in our own city.
In some ways, this is the charm of rooting for the Mets. At one point in life, as Mets fans, we all made a conscious decision to continue rooting for the team in New Yok that is far less likely to win. It's the whole lovable loser thing. On the other hand, much of this charm has worn off over the past decade, and in particular with the hellish ride began with un-clutch Carlos Beltran's Game 7 strikeout and continued right up to Fred Wilpon being a jackass this week.
It's tough to think of your team as lovable losers when it regularly fields teams that cost more than all but a few others (though, perhaps not for long). But, again, such is the weird experience of being a Mets fan. Only by comparison to the Yankees could we truly feel bad for ourselves as a whole. Yes, the Mets were recently mismanaged but a lot of other teams have been too. Yes, the Mets have experienced a ton of bad luck over the past decade or two, but a lot of other teams have too. Yes, the Mets have had a tough ride on the whole since 1989, but fans of the Pirates, Orioles, Indians, Royals, Mariners, Brewers, Cubs and Astros would probably like us to quit our bitching.
But again, this is the peculiar experience of the Mets fan. The Mets are by no means out of contention, the Yankees have not played particularly well this year, and yet it's tough to get the game on in a tiny sports bar that has nearly as many TVs as seats. It doesn't make sense, and leads to the weird dualism in the Mets fan base trapped between the realities of a big market club that will -- eventually, with smart management -- be able to field consistent contenders, and a team that will -- assuming the financial realities of the Yankees and baseball as a whole stay constant -- always be second-class in its own town.
We react to this in weird ways: We're really proud to be Mets fan, but sometimes a little bit embarrassed. I'll admit that sometimes, as I make my way to the 7 train either on foot or via another subway, I sometimes think people are looking at me like I'm a psychopath, decked out in my Mets jersey and hat. I'm likely imagining this, but still.
We think baseball's financial system is unfair, but want the Mets to better take advantage of it (paying over slot in the draft, etc.).
We love that our team isn't the Yankees, but wish our team could win like the Yankees.
I wear the badge of Mets fan proudly, but wish I were guaranteed to see our team in any sports bar, in any part of the New York City area.
Such is the life of a Mets fan, in his or her own city. You have to be a little crazy, a little counter-intuitive to have decided "I'm a Mets fan and I'm sticking with this. Screw the Yankees." That's what makes the fan base so interesting, a group of people who instinctively identify with the underdog, rooting for a team that is only the underdog through its own incompetence.
Anyway, this is mostly unleashed ranting, but I think it also goes a long way toward explaining why we all got so upset about Fred Wilpon's comments, even though we already knew Fred Wilpon was an idiot. We're weird. Our situation is weird. And that's not going to change, new owner or not.

As Lehigh students seek to improve their understanding of an increasingly interconnected world, a rapidly growing program at Lehigh is offering perspective.
Created in 2006, the Globalization and Social Change Initiative (GSCI) brings together teaching, research and service on the historical, social, cultural, economic and political changes brought about by globalization.
On Thursday and Friday, a conference hosted by the GSCI introduced additional voices to the dialogue and addressed some of the key problems related to globalization. The conference, "Global Tensions," brought together internationally known scholars from across the humanities and social sciences.
Panels addressed topics such as "Migration and Politics," "Global Political Economy and Identity," "Diasporas and Media," and "Religion and the Nation" and featured experts from Princeton University, The New School, Arizona State University, and the U.S. Department of Justice.
"It's not often that institutions of higher education reach out to other institutions and invite their faculty to come together in conversation and collaboration," says Jack Lule, director of the GSCI and professor of journalism and communication. "We had close to 100 faculty members from around the globe here from dozens of universities. It was a wonderful thing for Lehigh's status and reputation, but, more importantly, we had some great minds meeting to take up the problems of the world."
The conference panels also included many of Lehigh's own distinguished faculty members. The diversity of their expertise reflects Lehigh's commitment to interdisciplinary teaching and research. GSCI faculty from the departments of political science, history, journalism and communication, international relations, religion studies, and modern languages and literature lend their knowledge and research related to complex global themes such as global communication, culture and identity, and politics and social structures.
GSCI faculty members Matt Sanderson, assistant professor of sociology, and Bruce Whitehouse, assistant professor of anthropology, for example, examine issues related to transnational migration. John Jirik, assistant professor of journalism and communication, examines how power operates in and through the media. His most recent work draws on a case study of a Beijing newsroom at China's national TV network.
Elsewhere in the program, Robert Rozehnal, associate professor of religion studies, researches the history and practice of Sufism in South Asia.
The GSCI also plays a critical role in helping students develop a global competency. Through the GSCI, Lehigh introduced a Global Studies major which is designed to prepare students for work and life in a modern and interconnected world. Topics range from climate change to immigration to McDonald's. International travel, language instruction, and the study of world cultures help round out the program. Global competency is a crucial piece of a student's experience.
"Developing the Global Studies major was essential to the GSCI's mission," Lule says. "No student graduating into the world of today can afford to be ignorant of global issues or to be lacking in global competency. Every student will eventually need the ability to study, work and interact with peoples from other lands and cultures."

PHOTO: Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger attends WWE Royal Rumble
Apparently Ben Roethlisberger doesn't watch the Pro Bowl either. Instead of watching Team Sanders duke it out with Team Rice in Hawaii, Roethlisberger decided to do something else with his time on Sunday: He attended the WWE Royal Rumble, which was held in Pittsburgh.
As you can see above, Roethlisberger made some new friends in Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels. Flair seems to like to hang out with NFL quarterbacks who have really long last names. The wrestler also spent time with Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers earlier in January.
Flair wasn't the only person Roethlisberger hung out with on Sunday, he also hung out with a clown.
Sitting behind some clown. He just so happens to be the biggest QB in the NFL. Big Ben Roethlisberger! #RoyalRumble pic.twitter.com/o656Ocdd50— Frank The Clown (@FrankWWEClown) January 27, 2014
If you're dying to know who won the Rumble, here's your answer:

South Holston Reservoir is a showstopper of a lake. The watery oasis sits in the shadow of Holston Mountain and spreads from Tennessee over to the Virginia state line.
It's just one more outdoor asset in the Mountain Empire that is upper East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. The impoundment stretches 24 miles from its dam to where the lake backs up no more. Construction started in 1942, but World War II intervened. The lake was eventually completed in 1950. Boat ramps and marinas are plentiful, and so is camping. My favorite destination at South Holston is Little Oak Campground.
Lakeside camping is literally a breeze at Little Oak. It is sizable and well laid out, lying atop the remnants of Little Oak Mountain after the Holston River Valley was flooded to create South Holston Lake.
Though large, Little Oak is widely dispersed on four loops that jut into the lake. This arrangement allows for many spacious lakeside sites, and each loop feels like its own little campground. Short paths slope from each lakeside site to the water's edge. Campers tie up their boats in front of their site, or swim and fish right from shore. There are so many attractive sites from which to choose. This campground was designed for a pleasant camping experience, not just a weigh station for the urban masses to cram into.
This campground is virtually surrounded by the lake, giving it a very aquatic ambience. For a different perspective of the lake, take the Little Oak Mountain Trail. The path leaves the campground near the pay station and makes a jaunt into the woods above the water. For yet another perspective on Little Oak, get out on the lake itself. A boat ramp is conveniently situated between the Hemlock and Poplar loops. Swim, fish or take a pleasure ride up the lake into the state of Virginia.
In East Tennessee, the high country is never far away. Little Oak is near the Flint Mill Scenic Area, which has a broad representation of Southern Appalachian flora and fauna and elevations exceeding 4,000 feet. Turn right out of the campground onto Forest Service Road 87 and drive a short 1.4 miles. The Josiah Trail (Forest Trail No. 50) starts on your left and ascends for 2.2 miles to a saddle on Holston Mountain and Forest Trail No 44.
To your left at 4.3 miles are the Appalachian Trail and the Double Springs Gap backcountry shelter. To your right after 3.4 miles is the Holston Mountain Fire Tower and views aplenty. Flint Mill Trail (FT No. 49) climbs 1 steep mile to Flint Rock and some fantastic views of South Holston Lake. The trail is 2.2 miles on the left beyond the Josiah Trail. You can clearly see the islands of South Holston Lake and even the location of Little Oak Campground. It is my favorite vista spot on Holston Mountain.
To get there from Bristol, take US 421 east for 14 miles. Turn right on Camp Tom Howard Road (FS 87) at signed intersection for Little Oak Campground. Follow FS 87 for 6.5 miles. Turn right on FS 87G. Follow it for 1.5 miles and dead end into Little Oak Recreation Area. For more information, please visit www.fs.usda.gov/cherokee.

Erie County Sheriff Terry Lyons has begun sending inmates from his overcrowded jail to Ottawa County and soon will be shipping them to Crawford County.
Erie County's commissioners recently agreed to give the sheriff $100,000 for the rest of 2007 to ease overcrowding in the local jail by letting him pay other counties to house local inmates.
Last week, Erie County's commissioners approved a contract with Ottawa County, paying $42.50 a day per inmate to house inmates there, and setting aside $50,000 to foot the bill.
On Thursday, commissioners approved a similar contract with Crawford County, agreeing to pay $45 a day per inmate to house inmates in Bucyrus and setting aside the other $50,000.
Erie County began sending inmates to Ottawa County on Tuesday, said Bob Robles, assistant administrator for the Erie County Jail.
Inmates will be on their way down Ohio 4 to Crawford County soon. The only thing local officials were waiting for was approval of the contract, Robles said.
On Thursday, the jail had 126 inmates in custody, including 112 inmates housed at the Erie County Jail, which has an official capacity of 106 and resorted to having inmates sleep on the floor.
The jail also had five inmates housed in the Ottawa County Jail and a few in a psychiatric ward in Toledo, Robles said.
Robles said the inmates held in Port Clinton and those who will be shipped to Bucyrus are inmates serving sentences, rather than inmates awaiting trial and local court dates.
"If it looks like they are going to be with us for awhile, those are the first to go," Robles said. "We're not going to send someone who is going to be back and forth in court."
Whether the sheriff will receive any money in 2008 to house inmates outside the county hasn't been determined yet. The $100,000 given to Lyons this year does not guarantee funds will be available next year, said County Administrator Mike Bixler. Lyons has asked for $500,000 to house inmates outside the county next year.

Lucy and Dusty Work Together!Monday, January 05 2009
Maddie decides to leave Oakdale, Katie questions Lucy's decision about Craig, Brad threatens Craig, Dusty and Lucy decide to work together and Alison confronts Casey about New Year's Eve!
Henry and Vienna are holding a book signing at Al's when Casey arrives. Vienna spots him and pushes him together with Maddie. Both are uncomfortable because of the incident at The Lakeview. Vienna, meanwhile, keeps hawking Henry's books to their patrons. Henry convinces an unwilling customer to stay for the book reading. As they read Casey and Maddie both think about their past. Maddie leaves the diner and Casey follows. He brings up New Year's Eve and insists that nothing happened. He says he was in bed by himself but then Alison came on to him before turning cold. Maddie can't believe him. She asks if he likes Alison and Casey can't answer. She says it was wrong to come back and try to recapture the past. Then, she tells Casey he has to be better! The reading makes Henry and Vienna hot for one another – and convinces several patrons to buy more books! Henry spots Maddie behind the counter and asks about Casey. She says he is gone for good this time. "You know he is nowhere near good enough for you," Henry says and Maddie cries. She says she has to leave. Henry tells Vienna, who is angry on Maddie's behalf. Maddie leaves.
Alison and Katie tell Craig that Katie is just having tests. A nurse says Katie has to get ready for the procedure and Alison slips away while Katie makes up more stories for Craig.
At the hospital Dusty and Lucy argue about Johnny's illness and the fact that she ran away without a word. She insists that she had to keep Johnny out of Dusty's war with Craig. Alison arrives and tells them Craig is there. Dusty threatens to kill Craig. Alison returns to Katie's room; together they convince Craig to be tested as a donor and Alison leads him away. Dusty and Lucy sneak in with Johnny. Katie says she has to call Brad. He arrives and when Katie tells him everything he says she can't do this! Katie says she has to do it; Lucy comes in and begs him to let Katie help them. He finally agrees.
In the stairwell, Alison tells Craig that her needle kit is at Java and suggests they do the test there. Craig says she is crazy and heads back upstairs! As they near Katie's room Alison calls out; Brad comes out and insists Katie is fine. He suggests a lunch date, which makes Craig even more worried. Brad says the procedure is a 'woman thing' that she doesn't want anyone to know about. He convinces Craig to come to Al's with him for lunch. Alison goes into Katie's room and says the coast is clear. Katie says again that they should let Craig know about Johnny; Lucy insists that they can't do that. Lucy tells Alison she has to leave before Dusty comes after her the way he is going to come after Lucy. "You've done enough already," she says and hugs Allie. She thanks Alison again for her friendship. Alison asks what is next but Lucy doesn't know. Lucy asks the doctor if she can stay with Johnny but he says she can't. She turns to Dusty and they argue more about Johnny. He asks how she managed to stay out of sight all these years. She says she stayed one step ahead of him because she had to protect Johnny from Craig and from Dusty. He threatens to have Lucy arrested. "All I care about is Johnny," she says but Dusty refuses to agree with her, saying Johnny could have had a real life instead of a life on the run. He says Johnny will be with him from now on! Lucy asks Dusty to take her wherever he is going to take Johnny! She says she can help save Johnny's life and swears she won't make the same offer to Craig. Dusty gives in and says she can come along. She is relieved! The doctor returns and says Lucy was right in her diagnosis and plans; they say it will be a few days before Katie's body will be ready for the transplant. Dusty suggests a quick trip to Chicago and Lucy agrees with him. Dusty returns to Katie's room and tells her about the plans to do the transplant in Chicago. She says this isn't fair to Craig but Dusty doesn't care. He says if Katie keeps quiet for a few more days she will be free and clear to tell Craig anything she wants.
Brad and Craig go to lunch at The Lakeview. Brad lays down new rules for Craig – primarily that he has to stay away from Katie forever. He threatens Craig. Craig tries to leave but Brad shoves him into the booth and tells Craig to stay far away from Katie. "You can't blackmail her into caring about you so stay out of her life," Brad says and walks away.
Brad returns to Katie, who tells him that the transplant will happen in a few days. When Katie says Craig deserves to know about Johnny Brad reminds her of all the pain Craig has caused. "Why would you want that for your nephew?" he asks!
Casey finds Alison at the park and pushes her on the swing. He asks what happened to her on New Year's Eve but she isn't ready to talk about it. He tells her about Maddie, which upsets Alison. Casey says he isn't sorry that things are definitely over with Maddie – because of her! She angrily says he has to talk to Maddie and fix things! She storms off.
Alison runs into Maddie outside of Al's and makes her talk. She says the hotel room was a rental for a friend but she and Casey were just playing around. "There is nothing between us," she says and insists that Casey is the last thing she needs. This only upsets Maddie more so Alison backtracks. She says she doesn't have time for a project like Casey; Maddie tells her that Casey has fallen for her. Casey arrives and Maddie leaves. Allie asks why he put her in the middle of the mess with Maddie and Casey can't explain. She leaves.

Our People
Profile: Blake Jeter
When senior biological engineering major Blake Jeter decided to get involved in student government, he wanted the opportunity to make a difference and leave things a little better than he found them with the MSU student body.
Looking back on two years of service with the Student Association, his first year as attorney general, the outgoing SA president feels he has achieved his goal.
Jeter said that he is most proud of the increased commitment to service the SA displayed during his tenure, including tripling the amount raised by the student body for the United Way and raising more than $10,000 for the earthquake-ravaged country of Haiti.
Serving as the student organization's chief executive, he added, has had a profound effect on him, personally.
"Serving as president of the Student Association has cultivated in me an even deeper love for this university, and I will be forever linked to it and this state because of my service," Jeter said. "Being a part of this experience has taught me a lot of lessons about life, relationships, commitment, service, and learning that I will never forget. It has helped shape me into a better person."
Next week … Brooke Harris !

I am from PA - saw the "throwdown" w/ Bobby Flay - had to try Taim when I went to NYC. What a treat - you have to try the 3 different falafel. And the hummus was THE best I have ever had. Great Value and Delicious food - 4 of us went and we were not disappointed - my niece who spends a lot of time in NYC said she definitely will go back. Thank goodness it was a nice day because we had to sit outside. Service was a might slow but well worth the wait. We went right at lunch time so there was a long line but the cashier was very helpful and never rushed anyone. Taim is on my list for every trip to NYC.
Posted by Bhagu on 06/05/2009
We have lived and traveled extensively in the Middle East. This falafel and hommous was the best we have ever tried. My mom says it reminded her of the best falafel she ate in Cairo and Baghdad, only this was better!! Please keep up the great quality and we will always support Taim!!
Posted by anonymous on 05/10/2009
I eat from Taim at least weekly. I have never been disappointed. Delicious home made food excellent falafel, fries are the best in NY and Babaganoush is authentic - I keep a tub in the fridge.
Posted by nikkiB on 05/09/2009
Taim is the type of small business that makes me happy and gives me faith that corporate america and the "big box store" and "chain restaurant" society will not win! They are a small, charming and wonderful business that serves high quality food and pays attention to detail (when you order the falafel platter - they put the falafel balls in a separate paper bag so they don't get soggy - come on that's great!). They seem to get everything right. Amazing, crispy and not greasy falafel (the traditional "green") is my fave. Delicious lemony tabouli, smooth and tasty hummus, fresh israeli salad amazing sauces (s'rug - a spicy delicious treat). If you go - you MUST try the Pomegranate Honey Iced Tea. Every sip makes me swoon.

I'm a native New Yorker exiled to the west coast at the moment. On a trip home last week, I made a point of going to Taim. I was not disappointed!! The lightest most flavourful falafel I have ever eaten (and I eat a lot of falafel all over the world). The Pita was magnificent as well. I will be making it a regular stop on my trips back to NY and have already recommended it to all of my friends!!
Posted by anonymous on 02/11/2009
I also heard about Taim on Bobby Flay's Throwdown. The falafel is simply the best. It even beats L'as du Falafel in Paris and that is saying something!
Posted by anonymous on 02/06/2009
I'm not sure what fault the last reviewer found with the falafel sandwich - I thought it was one of the best I've ever had. Not the biggest, but the best. The pita was absolutely fresh and still warm and chewy and crackly from the oven, worth the trip all by itself. The falafel was absolutely fresh, light, moist and well-flavored. It was not OVER salted or OVER spiced, which I find at a lot of places, nor was it dry, another common fault (lots of hockey pucks out there). When it's fresh, you don't need to cover up the flavor with too much salt or hot sauce. It was made with a perfectly fresh salad mix and dressing, wrapped in waxed paper and handed to me with a wooden bowl. My only complaint is that the place is super-small and the only seating is a few barstools by the window. It gets crowded really fast, but with food this good, it's not hard to see why. Considering plenty of delis charge $8 and up for crappy sandwiches with funky veggies, I think $5.50 is not bad at all for the sandwich here, and you will not leave hungry.

Nebraska law has claimed that eighteen-year-olds still won't be called as full adults, but will be closer to it under a bill making its way through the state Legislature.
Lawmakers on Wednesday extended its first-round approval to a measure that would legally permit 18-year-olds to enter into contracts for things like rental houses and receive medical care without parental consent.
In addition, parents would be obliged to sign legal agreements delegating medical authority to 18-year-olds.
However, the age of majority would remain 19 for many things in accordance to the Rogert's bill, including leaving foster care and having child support extended by parents.
Nebraska lands among some few states where the age of majority is 19, not 18.
Also, one can marry at 17 in Nebraska; the drinking age is still 21.

I love Givenchy. (But then again who doesn't…?) I stumbled upon this new ad today, Liv Tyler singing "Need you tonight" for Givenchy. Yes, you read correctly – SINGING! And I really like the sound of it, quite stylish I must say. Well-done! And she is absolutely stunning!
Here is the video, enjoy!
Talking about Givenchy. I am reading a book at the moment, which is called The Givenchy Code, by Julie Kenner. I have to admit , this is not my type of literature (usually I prefer something more serious), but as I was in the library and I saw the book on the shelf, it was hot pink like my new Nokia Lumia phone, and the book had the Givenchy logo on it and just by glancing at few pages I saw that Audrey Hepburn was mentioned and Tiffany's and all those beautiful things, so I really could not resist.
It turned out to be actually quite a page-turner. Like with all the mystery books, you want to know what the riddles are and will you be able to solve them. So, indeed, it is very entertaining. I would not recommend it to ALL of my friends, but those (obviously female friends) who like shopping and fashion should grab this along for example to read on a plane or vacation…
Look how cute this is! Was it possible to resist from borrowing from the library?!

I went to Awash with the individual who wrote the review below....and I could not disagree with him more about the food. It was Great!! My first time having Ethiopian food was an awesome experience. They do not provide you with forks...just a serving spoon for the dishes that come seperately. The "spongy" bread is mainly what you use to eat the food. It rolls out to large sheets that can be torn into small bite-sized pieces perfect for scooping up the yummy food. I highly recommend the Doro Wat Chicken!! Combination Platter #4 comes with the Doro Wat and other great items. If you don't like sharing food, this might not be the place for you.....and if you don't like eating (with your hands) out of the same plate with other people, you might want to ask for your dishes be served seperately. We chose the traditional style.....3 out of 4 of us loved it....I don't know what he was thinking. Although I must agree with him about the service. v - e - r - y s - l - o - w . Also, try an African beer. NICE!!
Posted by Anonymous on 10/14/2004
Sorry to be a buzz kill after all the previous great reviews, but I didn?t like Awash. I went recently with three others, and I?d really been looking forward to it as I?d never tried Ethiopian food and I?m a big fan of ethnic cuisines. The service was friendly but painfully slow. They brought most of our food on a huge platter, which we all shared, and I didn?t care for that too much. I love spicy food, but I didn?t find our food to be spicy at all. Actually, it was kinda bland. One problem, I think, is the spongy bread that you eat the food with. It had a bizarre taste to it and, to me, it covered up the taste of the other food. I had the taste of that bread in my mouth for a couple of days! Also, the portions seemed to be rather small for the prices that we paid. Since they combined most of our orders on one platter, it was hard to tell how they might have come out if they had been served separately, but it seemed like I only had several bites of food (mostly the spongy bread) and the platter was empty. I ordered the vegetarian combo. $14 for a few very small servings of collards, lentils, and beets? I don?t think so. As I mentioned before, the service is very slow, and there were only about three other people eating there. We waited about 15 minutes for our check, and when it didn?t come, we got up and made it pretty clear that we were ready to leave. Our server told us that he?s bring it to us, but we waited another 5-10 minutes before he got around to it. They are definitely living on their own time at Awash. But to be fair to the place, the other three people in my party really liked the food. I guess Ethiopian food just isn?t for me.

Seriously, the food at Awash is much better than most Ethiopian food in Ethiopia. And, the waitstaff is cute too!
Posted by Anonymous on 08/27/2004
I have been going here ever since my college days, and it is always delicious. The portions are so big- you can easily share. I like it better than any other Ethiopian restaurant I've tried.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/05/2004
I've tried several of the other Ethiopian restaurants in the city, and so far this is the best.
Posted by Really good. on 05/12/2004
Excellent quality. Awash is my first experience with Ethiopian food and it is extremely positive. I didn't even know what to order, so I had to look at reviews and see suggestions. After first trying the vegetarian combo, here is what I would say: Yater Kik, the yellow lentils is AMAZING and addictive, it comes with loads of velvety Ethiopian bread, and sides of collard greens, and split red lentils. Each dish is outstanding and impeccable. Perfectly satisfying. I am a meat eater, and I didn't miss the meat at all. The vegetable sambusa appetizer, which is like an Ethiopian egg-roll, or an Ethiopian version of Indian samosa, is also excellent. I also tried the meat sambusa, which is not as good. One word of caution. Ethiopian food is spicy. I tend to like milder foods; the dishes mentioned are still spicy, but on the gentler end of the spectrum.
Posted by spicygal on 04/18/2004
Everything we've ever had here is simple but flavorful and fantastic. The combo platters, including the vegetarian are all huge and filling -- great to share with a date (maybe not a first date if you are the type who is squeamish about eating with your hands). Try it with honey wine -- sweet and refreshing. I love the ambiance -- homey makeshift decorations, colorful photographs from Ethiopian travel posters. My favorite Ethiopian -- most kick back and best deal, least greasy food, not yuppified and very modestly priced.
