Billy Joel's not-so-silly love songsWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
Valentine's Day is the only "holiday" that surpasses Christmas as a source for music. Love songs make up 95 percent of all songs ever written; there is no more common theme in music and poetry.
With the romantic mood in mind, Sony Legacy has released a collection of Billy Joel's love songs, which offers an opportunity to revisit one of American pop music's most successful singer-songwriters.
Joel's career arc ran contrary to that of his peers. While musicians such as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Sting started out with rock records and mellowed into more melodic pop as they aged, Joel started with relatively softer fare but evolved into more rhythm-oriented rock as he progressed. "She's Got a Way: Love Songs" samples a small slice of Joel's oeuvre; it includes some of the most famous love songs of the past half-century and reintroduces some overlooked gems.
The collection spans 18 songs drawn from nearly a dozen of Joel's albums, from 1971's "Cold Spring Harbor" to 1997's "Greatest Hits Volume III." The compilation is credited to Vic Anesini, who choose a mix of comfortable classics and insightful album tracks.
The collection begins on an odd note with "Travelin' Prayer," a track from 1973's "Piano Man" album. The song may have charted on the lower reaches of the pop charts but it is a discordant way to open an anthology of ballads and love songs. The skipping drums, jumpy bass and up-tempo production are a jarring introduction to what is an otherwise intelligent and carefully ordered song list.
"She's Got A Way: Love Songs" contains a number of recordings that deserve to be freed from the numbing gauze wrapped around them by decades of constant airplay.
"Just The Way You Are," the 1978 Grammy winner for Record and Song of the Year, is an easy target for lounge singers and detractors, but Phil Ramone's tasteful production, its wordless chorus running underneath an earnest vocal and Phil Woods' saxophone solo belie the decades and deserve discovery with fresh ears.
The other perpetually played inclusion, "Honesty," from 1978's "52nd Street," symbolizes one of Joel's sharpest weapons as a composer: cynicism. Joel can't rival such master cynics as Elvis Costello or Leonard Cohen, but neither of those artists were able reach a fraction of Joel's audience. A harsh and lonely song, "Honesty" withholds solace and revels in disappointment. With sentiments such as "If you look for truthfulness/You might just as well be blind" and "I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies," the song is a cold but veracious choice for a collection of songs celebrating love.
That weary New York cynicism weaves through several of Joel's songs. The collection backs his own claim that while critics often connect him to Paul McCartney, he bears a closer kinship to Elton John. Such arms-length songs as 1982's "She's Right on Time" ("Left to my own device/I can always make believe/That there's nothing wrong"), 1986's "Temptation" ("But I might find salvation/if I can tear myself away") and 1989's "State of Grace" ("Both of us know we're in love/But that isn't always enough") inject reality and a practical awareness into what could be a saccharine enterprise.
Other worthy inclusions include "This Is The Time," "She's Always A Woman" and "Shameless."
Among the few filler cuts (the 1971 instrumental "Nocturne," and "You're My Home," which is an introspective and vulnerable vocal on the 1981 live album "Songs in the Attic" but is included here as the listless, unfocused studio performance from 1973's "Piano Man") and the clunky remix of 1993's "All About Soul" are four of Joel's greatest achievements as a songwriter and performer.
"The Night Is Still Young," "Until the Night," "An Innocent Man" and "And So It Goes" are adult, sophisticated compositions with polished studio craftsmanship that represent a collective zenith for Joel's deep body of work.
"The Night Is Still Young," a cut included on 1985's "Greatest Hits Volume I & II," slipped into the Top 40 at the height of the one-hit wonder synth-band era. Featuring two layered vocals, one deeper representing the man "old enough to say I got a good look at the other side" and one higher for the man "young enough to still see the passionate boy that I used to be," the song's narrative follows life's trajectory from "Rock and roll music was the only thing I ever gave a damn about" to "I'd like to settle down, get married and maybe have a child someday." It's a slow-building, slow-burning recording that stands with anything on that greatest hits collection.
"Until the Night," a track from "52nd Street," the 1979 Grammy winner for Album of the Year, was far too long at 6:36 to be a single, but serves as an emotional high point of that collection. Another song soaked in relationship doubt ("Now you're afraid that we have changed/And I'm afraid we're getting older") but utilizing equal amounts of wisdom ("I'll have my fears like every man/You'll have your tears like every woman") and optimism ("I'm just beginning to feel/I'm just beginning to give"), "Until The Night" is Joel at the top of his form.
Even that vaunted track is topped by the title track from 1983's "An Innocent Man." Backed by restrained piano, baion bass and finger snaps, Joel's tender but tough vocal winds through a patient outreach ("I'm not above being cool for a while/If you're cruel to me I'll understand") to a sympathetic damaged lover. On equal footing is "And So It Goes," the coda from 1989's "Storm Front" that closes the love songs collection. A stark and aching vocal sparsely adorns a lyric as sad and moving as Joel ever composed. "Every time I've held a rose/it seems I only felt the thorns," Joel intones, followed by such dreadful thoughts as "And so it goes, and so it goes/And so will you soon I suppose" and a line that lives as one of pop music's greatest encapsulations of the loving male's simultaneous power and helplessness: "So I would choose to be with you/That's if the choice were mine to make." It is inconceivable that either "An Innocent Man" or "And So It Goes" would find a place on modern radio ("And So It Goes" made the Top 40 and "An Innocent Man" actually made the Top 10), but that illustrates the weakened state of the art today, not any languor in the recordings.
There are enough overlooked love songs in Joel's catalog to fill a box set, but there are a few that would have greatly strengthened this collection. "Last of the Big Time Spenders," "Baby Grand," "A Matter of Trust," "Vienna," "The Longest Time," "To Make You Feel My Love" and "Rosalinda's Eyes" leap immediately to mind.
But "She's Got A Way: Love Songs" is a thoughtful and worthy compilation for Billy Joel fans looking to reacquaint themselves with the artist and those seeking a Valentine's Day soundtrack offering a true representation of love's identity: a blend of cynicism, optimism, strength, vulnerability, pride and shamelessness.

Getting a Head Start on Medical Education
As a group of 25 students from Ballston Spa High School wrapped up their day at Albany Med recently, the comments were fast and furious.
"Thanks for helping me figure out what I want to do with my life," said one 10th grader. Another biology student offered: "I really learned a lot and hope to go there (Albany Medical College) someday." A third was still marveling at the experience in the Patient Safety and Clinical Competency Center, while a fourth opined about having to leave — and asked when she could return to learn more.
The Albany Medical Center Health Care Exploration Program, a partnership that has garnered accolades from area educators, launched this fall with about 50 high school students and 20 middle school students. Three groups visited Albany Med to learn about the Medical College and the many careers in health care, enhancing their experiences in the Ballston Spa Central School District's successful Biomedical Sciences Program.
Ballston Spa District Superintendent Joseph P. Dragone, PhD, called the partnership "invaluable to the district as it addresses the emerging medical occupations and technologies and prepares students for college and careers."
Albany Med President Jim Barba concurred, adding, "We understand what a valuable resource we are to the region and the responsibility we have to share our expertise with the communities we serve. We also believe in the power of collaboration and are pleased to partner with Ballston Spa schools to create meaningful opportunities for students to explore one of the most promising fields for careers of tomorrow — and to start charting their future today."
Mrs. Cuomo Honored for Child Advocacy
New York's former First Lady Matilda Raffa Cuomo was the guest of Albany Med recently for the dedication of the Matilda Raffa Cuomo Family Care Corridor and Mothers' Nursing Lounge in the new NICU. The mother of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and wife of former Gov. Mario Cuomo has long been an advocate for prenatal care, breastfeeding and childhood nutrition. The naming of the corridor and lounge recognized her as a "champion of children and families from all walks of life all over the globe."

Just when I complain about American female comics not wanting to let themselves look silly...
If you don't have a subscription to award-winning 80-page quarterly Bitch magazine, it's definitely time to start one.
Comments4 comments have been made. Post a comment.
not to dismiss how talented margaret cho is...
it's just more than a bit unfortunate that she hasn't really done her work around trans issues.
one example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBGAjXNI-AM
Keep in mind. This is VH1 ...
... where they stage their "celebreality" shows to look like "celeb-unreality" shows (God forbid, did they have to put Gary Busey on there? While Dave Navarro's a nicer guy, I'm tired of seeing him on everything). The promos for all of their shows display the ultimate in silliness. Still ... I think this is a treat compared to "I Love New York" and Brooke Hogan. I am looking forward to this, anyway, and will refrain from further judgement until after I actually watch some episodes.
flippin sweet!
finally an actually interesting and entertaining celebrity gets a show on VH1. hopefully it will be great.
Did Margaret "bitch-slap" you for your last blog?
I have to admit that I think we Amurikuns are usually pretty good at whatever we set our minds to... (Unfortunately, sometimes we choose some pretty fucked up goals). This looks like some pretty good reality tv.
Just based on that clip, Margaret seems to have cranked her message up a notch by putting herself into a context which includes lots of other people for her to bounce it all off of, and takes some of the pressure off of her. I thought it looked really interesting.
I think at her best, Margaret is brilliant and inspired, as a comic, as a social observer / comentator, and as a kind of unapologetic voice from the marginalized... Unfortunately, I think she sometimes sabatages and weakens her own message with repetition, by sometimes overdoing the soap box and the melodrama, by giving the appearance at times that her objective is more to be outrageous or be an icon than to make an actual point.
But when she's good, she's so good that I always come back for more.

As I am faced again with the college application process, this time with my 16 year old daughter, I am as concerned today about access to higher education and Latinos, as I was 25 years ago. While the social, educational and economic barriers to higher education for Latinos have changed very little, the college application process has become a Mount Everest, a monstrous process that stands steep and tall between students and college doors.
The bar for college admission to selective schools has been raised so high over the past twenty years, many high school students find themselves anxious, exhausted and drained by a nail-biting, complicated, competitive application process.
Good grades and community service are a thing of the past. Today, competitive students must show academic merit and excellence via transcripts loaded with honors and AP (advanced placement) courses, AND extreme talent and achievement in extracurricular activities (sports, music, the arts) or unique experiences (e.g., participating in the Intel Science Talent Search). Long gone are summer loves and going to the beach during summer vacations. These days, high school students need to be strategic about how they spend their summers, and mindful of how these activities add to their application package.
Increased Competitiveness on Standardized College Admissions Tests
Remember the SAT tests? Well, today, standardized college admissions tests include the ACT tests and SAT II Subject Tests. Selective schools demand competitive performance on either the SAT or ACT tests, and submission of at least two SAT II subject tests. One of the most debated discussions in racial/socioeconomic disparities and college admission has focused on cultural and socioeconomic biases argued to be inherent in standardized admissions tests. If these tests are indeed biased against students from academically- and economically-disadvantaged backgrounds and limit entrance opportunities to colleges, students are further challenged by the high scores required (by selective colleges) on standardized tests.
Of course, most community and city colleges do not require standardized college admission tests, making these colleges more accessible to the larger college-bound population. However, the truth is that Latinos are highly under-represented in top-tier schools like the Ivy League Colleges and other selective schools. I would like to see more young Latinos taking advantage of the undeniably excellent educational experiences, resources and career networking opportunities available in these selective schools.
As I canvass the college application process for a second time, I am convinced that the traditional barriers between Latino students and selective universities have transformed into an extreme challenge that will continue to significantly limit access to these types of schools.
Complicated Application Submission Strategies
There was a time when colleges had one deadline for submitting college applications. When I was applying to college, there was also the choice of early decision, a binding application agreement to attend a college if accepted. Today, there is a conglomerate of application choices, including rolling, early action (restrictive and non-restrictive), early admission, and the usual early decision. Confused already? Imagine then how a 16 year old student might feel. Better yet, imagine how daunting this process must be for parents who never went through a college application process.
Excessive Cost
In 1985, my first year at Columbia University, the tuition (including housing and board) was a little over $16,000. Today, the tuition for first year students at Columbia College is around $58,000 — that's 3.5 times higher than 25 years ago. The trend is similar among other colleges around the country. Although schools like Harvard, Columbia and Princeton have excellent financial aid packages for families with household income under $60,000 to $80,000, middle class families are falling through the gap — unable to qualify for the type of financial aid they would need to send their children to these colleges.
Record High Number of College Applicants
One would think that given the complicated and expensive nature of this process, more people would shy away from it. Far from the truth. The number of college applications across the country has reached new heights. Harvard received a record number of applications for the class of 2015. University of California, Los Angeles, topped the nation with over 57,6oo applications this past year. More applicants translates to increased competition.
Higher Expectations on the Admissions Essays
The written personal statement (and additional short answer essays) has become yet another important component in the application process. College essay writing has become a new genre, a piece of writing expected to highlight unique personal qualities, experiences, life lessons and/or insight, in combination with creativity and good writing skills.
Guiding Students Through the College Application Process
I hope it has become evident that students need guidance and support through this arduous process. School guidance counselors are at the forefront for coaching students with their college applications. Unfortunately, guidance counselors are often over-extended with many more students than they can individually help. This is more so the case in urban schools where Latino and other ethnic minority high school students attend.
Parents are also key persons in supporting students. However, the complexities of college applications to selective colleges can leave even the most educated and informed parent looking for guidance. In fact, the field of college admissions consulting has boomed over the past ten years. Parents are paying as high as $40,000 to college consultants for strategic and laser-focused coaching services to maximize the student's chances of gaining acceptance to top universities.
How Can Parents and Our Latino Community Help?
The barriers to accessing higher education for Latino students is a sociopolitical issue that deserves significant attention at local and state levels, and across public and private educational sectors. However, until these barriers are appropriately addressed, parents and individuals like you and me can help students climb the mount everest that stands between Latinos and an education at selective colleges.
Preparation for college admissions to selective colleges begins years before high school. Encouraging children to become avid readers, and exposing them to socially- and intellectually-stimulating activities such as musical instruments, cultural experiences and community service helps build children who are curious, worldly and talented.
Furthermore, parents should learn, as early as possible, about extra-curricular activities (sports, music, the arts) available in their community and programs for talented youths available to their children. Becoming well informed about academic success in middle school and in high school will help parents coach their children through these important school years. Latinos in Colleges is a website that offers relevant information for Latino families and students. We need more of these types of information resources, both in English and in Spanish.
You and the Latino Community
There is so much each one of us can do to help. If you've been through a college application, of any kind, consider coaching or mentoring a Latino student in high school. Visit your local high school and meet with a guidance counselor, and offer a few hours of your time. A workshop describing and explaining the college application process for Latino parents in your community is an excellent way to reach parents who need information to guide their children.
Another way to help is to recruit friends and colleagues and form a college application volunteer group, and organize workshops and small mentoring programs.
E-Mentoring is an excellent way to reach out to Latino kids across the country or across the street without having to meet in person, if your time is limited. By using Skype, emails and other online tools, students can be effectively mentored to successfully navigate the college application process.
Let's Start Here: Cuenta Conmigo E-Mentoring Network on Facebook
If you would like to help a Latino high student or their parents by answering questions, providing guidance, and connecting them to resources — as much or as little as you can — join our network on Facebook. Parents and students are encouraged to join this group to ask questions on anything relevant to college applications. Questions can be either in Spanish or English.

As a lifelong learner, I have been fortunate to study and teach in many places in the United States, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. I have never had a bad experience as a teacher nor as a student. "Always Look for the Lesson" has been my motto, which has turned some pretty harrowing experiences into the funniest times of my life.
I believe in meeting you, the student, wherever you are when you come to campus. It does not matter if you come to Cypress College from an area high school, a private school, a home school, or a school in another country. At Cypress, we understand the importance of recognizing and respecting all students.
My classes make use of the Internet and many mobile technologies to enhance learning. Students work in groups and individually to build web pages demonstrating what they have learned in class. The final project is usually a multimedia presentation that shows not only what students learned, but showcases creativity.
ENG 101 C Introduction to Literature
This course is not exactly a survey course, so you will not be able to identify every major author in the world. However, you will get a well-rounded offering of major literary genres like the short story, the novel, the play, and poetry. You will also discover ways of reading literary works by understanding the author's life and circumstance. The course is not as much reading as you think, and when I teach the class, students develop Favorite Authors and Google Maps web pages to demonstrate what they learned in Intro to Lit.

In 1984, in a stroke of luck, I happened upon Louise Erdrich's first novel Love Medicine. I fell in love with her people and their stories and with her writing. It takes time to untangle and assemble the stories of the various characters who inhabit the novel, members of several families on the reservation of North Dakota's Anishinaabe reservation, where Erdrich herself is rooted on her mother's side. But the movement of these families back and forth through fifty years of the twentieth century allows the reader to become acquainted with them in a very organic way. And Erdrich's exquisite prose is entrancing. Erdrich followed Love Medicine with three more novels specifically about the Kashpaws, Lamartines, Pillagers and Morrisseys, including The Beet Queen (1986), Tracks (1988), and The Bingo Palace (1994). To most fully appreciate these works today, read Tracks first since it precedes Love Medicine in chronology though she wrote it later, and read the 1987 expansion of Love Medicine, which has several added chapters. Reading Erdrich I have been moved to tears as well as laughter. I have read passages over for their sheer beauty. My world has been enlarged, not only by this work but also by subsequent novels in which Erdrich explores her European ancestry and her mixed-blood heritage in equally compelling fashion. It also pleases me that once involved with the people Erdrich creates, one cannot escape the links between past and present or the intricate connections between personal stories and larger historical realities.

Relationships between tree height and carbon isotope discrimination
McDowell Nate G.; Bond, Barbara J.; Dickman, Lee T.; Ryan, Michael G.; Whitehead, David. 2011. Relationships between tree height and carbon isotope discrimination. In: Meinzer, F. C.; Dawson, T. E.; Lachenbruch, B ., editors. Size- and Age-Related Changes in Tree Structure and Function. New York: Springer. p. 255-286.
Understanding how tree size impacts leaf- and crown-level gas exchange is essential to predicting forest yields and carbon and water budgets. The stable carbon isotope ratio of organic matter has been used to examine the relationship of gas exchange to tree size for a host of species because it carries a temporally integrated signature of foliar photosynthesis and stomatal conductance. The carbon isotope composition of leaves reflects discrimination against 13C relative to 12C during photosynthesis and is the net result of the balance of change in CO2 supply and demand at the sites of photosynthesis within the leaf mesophyll.

- Article (1)
- Preprint (1)
- Working Paper (1)
- Sinotibetische Sprachen (8) (remove)
- Verb agreement and epistemic marking : a typological journey from the Himalayas to the Caucasus (2008)
- Studies of the epistemic categories expressed in Tibetan auxiliaries and copulas have mostly compared the phenomena with mirativity marking, and this is no doubt the correct comparandum in diachronic research. However, synchronic descriptions are also often tempted to compare the relevant categories with agreement systems or similar reference-related structures, at least for expository purposes when explaining how the system works (e. g. Denwood 1999, Tournadre 1996, Goldstein et al. 1991).
- Prosodic tautomorphemicity in Sino-Tibetan (2003)
- Sino-Tibetan is a prime example of how strongly a language family can typologically diversify under the pressure of areal spread features (Matisoff 1991, 1999). One of the manifestation of this is the average length of prosodic words. In Southeast Asia, prosodic words tend to average on one or one-and-a-half syllables. In the Himalayas, by contrast, it is not uncommon to encounter prosodic words containing five to ten syllables. The following pair of examples illustrates this.
- Space, territory, and a stupa in Eastern Nepal: exploring Himalayan themes and traces of Bon (2000)
- Recent research has adduced growing evidence for a distinct stratum of cultural practices that underlies various "tribal" traditions in the Himalayan region and that also seems to be characteristic of various local versions of the Bon tradition. Bon literature is not uncommonly embedded in cultural patterns that are more specifically Himalayan than belonging to the greater South Asian heritage. Two aspects of this that have received attention in Ramble's (1997) study of a Bon guide to the sacred Kong-po mountain (rKong-po bon- ri) are the symbolism of wild boar hunting involved in marriage rituals and poison cults with their corresponding beliefs about poisoning. Another pattern of cultoral organization that may help better understand the Bon tradition against its Himalayan background is spatial conceptualization.
- Introduction: person and evidence in Himalayan languages (2000)
- The present volume results from an initiative to foster cooperation between scholars of Himalayan languages in Europe. The initiative was launched five years ago and has brought about a series of annual workshop meetings and individual cooperative projects (cf. http://www.isw.unibe.ch/EuroHimal). The 1998 workshop, held in Heidelberg, was devoted to the role that notions of speech act participants play in the grammar of various Himalayan languages, and the present collection represents, with some additions and some subtractions, the proceedings of this workshop. In the following I will give some background on the rationale for the topics covered in this volume, especially on the ways in which the indexing of speech act participants is related in Himalayan languages to evidentials and other epistemological operators. I will close this introduction with a brief outline of the structure of the volume.
- Cultural formalism and spatial language in Belhara (2010)
- When looking at ethnographies of Himalayan societies, one is impressed by the recurrent relevance and importance of spatial notions in cullural domains from shamanism to architecture, from belief systems to everyday behaviour, from religion to grammar.
- Rhythm and feet in Belhare morphology (1998)
- In Belhare (Sino-Tibetan, Nepal), consonant prothesis at morpheme boundaries and deletion of stem "augments" is found if either metrical or morphological parsing would violate the bimoraic trochee pattern that underlies the stress system of the language. This finding corroborates Dresher & Lahiri's (1991) "Principle of Metrical Coherence" and provides new evidence for the cross-linguistic applicability of Crowhurst's (1994) "Tautomorphemic Foot" constraint. The data also support a view of the Prosodic Hierarchy as weakly layered, allowing consonants to be directly dominated by the foot or word node if they are prothetic and do not therefore need feature licensing within the syllable canon.

Students get close-up look at Heritage Farm
HUNTINGTON -- Students from Buffalo Elementary in Wayne County and Crabbe Elementary in Boyd County recently visited Heritage Farm Museum and Village for its Metal Works Way Back Weekend.
Heritage Farm hosts Way Back Weekends each month, usually on the first Saturday. The Friday before, however, local schools are encouraged to visit for an up-close look at what the artisans are doing.
"We came for the first time last year and we're so enthralled with it," said Tamara Withrow, a fourth-grade teacher from Crabbe. "It's a true experience for the kids who have never seen some of these things."
She and Patty Garrison, who teaches fourth grade at Buffalo Elementary, both said Heritage Farm brings to life what the kids read about during lessons on West Virginia and Appalachian history.
Garrison said in her three years of taking students, they always return to class ready to engage in a hearty discussion that often leads them to asking more questions they can research on their own.
"You can tell they are soaking up the information," Garrison said.
On the Oct. 12 visit, she had 23 parents and grandparents with her, many of whom were visiting for the first time. She said coming to Heritage Farm opens up their eyes to the fun and educational opportunities they can share with their children.
There are two Way Back Weekends left in 2012, with time left for teachers to schedule their trips. On Saturday, Nov. 3, there will be hot glass and pottery demonstrations, with the new outdoor pottery oven. And, on Saturday, Dec. 1, the farm will host a holiday market with handmade gifts from local artisans.
For more information about educational trips, visit www.heritagefarmmuseum.com or call 304-522-1244.

Seasonal romance.
So far, this season has offered plenty of new pairings and potential couples. In fact, almost every episode seems to bring a new possible hook-up.

External or Internal HDD
I am a hobbyist musician and use my MBP primarily to work with music (create, edit, etc.). The configuration I have is: Macbook Pro: 2.2 Ghz / 4 GB RAM / 120 GB 5400 rpm HDD.
I recently posted on another forum on performance of Garage Band and other music tools on my laptop and was 'advised' that I should get an external HDD (7200 rpm) and attach it to my FireWire 800 port and that this would improve performance (assuming I run my music files off this drive).
Can someone tell me whether the above setup would really improve performance and whether an external drive (7200 rpm on Firewire 800) is better than my internal 5400 rpm drive?
Thanks in advance!
A 7200rpm desktop drive in a firewire 800 enclosure will be a great deal faster than your laptop's 5400rpm drive; you will see a significant speed increase if you choose the right drive. It will also leave you tied to a desk (or needing to carry the fw drive with you wherever you want to work on your projects). Depending on your need for portability, you might consider looking into the cost of having Apple or a 3rd party Apple-approved service provider upgrade the internal drive to 7200rpms. This would be marginally slower than a desktop drive on a fw800 bus (and more expensive, and leave you with less capacity), but still significantly faster than a 5400rpm drive.
I have the 2.4 santa rosa and run a 500GB external through my firewire 400 port and its plenty fast...it transfers video or just about anything else i could want at a very respectable rate. I use the internal for programs, games, etc and the external for all my video, music, pictures, etc. Firewire 800 is very nice, but totally unnecessary unless your working with HD video or other high bandwith media or just want the fastest of the fast.
Wow! I guess learned something today. I seriously thought an internal SATA drive running at 5400 rpm was FASTER than an external drive.
The problem with upgrading the internal drive is that (1) There are no SATA drives available above 200 GB (2) I could get an external FireWire for less than the internal 7200 rpm 200 GB, and with more space.
Does anyone have any actual timed tests to show the difference in speed between the two drives and how much difference we're talking about?
Say for instance encoding a file that sits on the external drive instead of the internal...
The only thing I have tried is ripping a DVD - and found basically no difference between the internal 5400 and a FW 800 attached SATA drive. Of course the limiting factor here would be the extremely slow "superdrives" they put in the MBP.
I guess it also depends what you're using it for. I copy DVDs directly to my external drive with MacTheRipper amd watch them on my MBP from my external drive just fine with no latency whatsoever. And my external drives are 5400rpm and USB connected.
You know, the other thing to consider-and the approach I'd take in this situation-would be to get a mac-compatible SATA ExpressCard, and a SATA enclosure.
(ok, I exaggerate... but they're very slow relative to 7200rpm drives)

Banishing power for summer policing
Posted: June 29, 2012|
ILFRACOMBE police have been granted the power to banish groups of unruly people from the town centre throughout the summer season.
Police reapplied for a Section 30 Dispersal Order after a similar order over Christmas proved successful in reducing antisocial behaviour.
Last December officers applied for the order for the first time in the resort's history after a spate of incidents which police said led to an increased fear of crime.
The order allows police to disperse anyone over the age of ten, who is engaging or likely to engage in antisocial behaviour, for a period of up to 24 hours.
The area covered by the order runs from the War Memorial on the east of the town to the Benricks skate park at Larkstone Lane on the west.
It includes the High Street, seafront, Fore Street, Portland Street and Wilder Road.
The order will run from June 1, to August 31.
Ilfracombe Team Sergeant Mike Warriner said: "We have looked at the information and data when the order was in place over Christmas and it seems to have been very effective.
"There were less cases of antisocial behaviour and perpetrators were aware of the power and didn't challenge us on it.
"The new order for the summer is part of a season-long campaign to reduce antisocial behaviour in Ilfracombe and this will include extra officers patrolling every evening.
"Antisocial behaviour can be a bigger problem in the summer due to more people being around, though generally Ilfracombe has very low levels.
"We want to make sure the summer goes without event and that people are able to come to Ilfracombe and enjoy the town."

Garden Myth: Gravel in Pots and ContainersBy: Julie Day
Flower pots don't need gravel in the bottom.
I've always been told to put a layer of gravel in the bottom of a flower pot before planting. Is this really necessary?
Actually, it's a myth, but it's one that even I believed for many years. The common belief is that a layer of gravel in the bottom of pots will improve drainage and keep the soil from spilling out, and besides, that's how we've always done it, so it must be right.
Here are the facts about using gravel in potted plants.
Why Gravel Doesn't Improve Drainage
The gravel myth is based on a mistaken idea that it will increase drainage. Follow my logic here and see if we can debunk this idea:
- Gravel vs. Soil: Gravel does drain water – obviously, water runs through gravel faster than soil. However, the opposite is also true: soil holds water better than gravel.
- Soil Acts Like a Sponge: Water won't run out into the gravel, or out of the pot, or anywhere, until the soil is saturated. If you don't believe me, try laying a sponge on top of a pile of gravel, then pour water into the sponge. Does the gravel make the sponge drain faster? No, the sponge fills up, and it won't drip until it can't hold another drop.
- Not Enough Soil: Just like with a sponge, water naturally settles toward the bottom of the soil. But because you've partially filled your pot with gravel, that soggy soil bottom is now higher (and closer to your plant's roots). Basically it's like having a smaller pot!
- Poor Results: So, you end up with an unhappy, crowded plant sitting in too wet soil, and you've wasted valuable pot space with gravel that's doing no good.
Soil is like a sponge.
Drainage Made Easy:
Your plants will be happier if you uniformly increase the drainage of the soil itself. Choose high-quality potting soil that is well draining. And if your plants need even more drainage, instead of putting gravel in the bottom of your pot, try mixing in perlite, PermaTill, or organic matter into your potting soil to increase drainage throughout the pot.
Gardening Tip
If you're worried about soil washing out of the bottom of your pot, put a paper coffee filter, a piece of screen, or a shard of pottery over the holes before adding dirt. Usually, though, drainage holes are small enough that this isn't a problem.
How to Use Gravel with Potted Plants
If you want to put gravel to work with your potted plants, use it outside the pot. Put a layer of gravel in your plant's drainage tray, or down inside a decorative planter, then sit your plant pot on top. The gravel will hold water and increase humidity, while keeping your plant's roots up out of the puddle.
Gravel comes in handy when sitting a plant inside a decorative planter.
Gravel in Non-Draining Pots
The best type of flower pot has drainage holes in the bottom, and you should always shop for pots that drain. But for pots that don't have holes, some people put gravel in the bottom of the pot, to create a sort of internal "drainage tray" to collect water under the dirt. Some people are able to get this to work, but it can cause problems, including:
- Overwatering: You can't see the gravel, so how do you know how much water is down there? If water builds up, the soil will turn into a soggy mess, and your plant will be on the fast track to root rot.
- Poor Growth: Water, nutrients, and air move through soil using capillary action, sort of like a straw. If you plug the bottom of a straw, it stops working, and when you plug up the bottom of your plant's soil (by trapping it in a non-draining pot), it stops working, too.
- Disease: If you've ever opened a container that's been in your refrigerator too long, you've learned firsthand what happens when moisture and organic material are trapped in a space with no air flow. A moldy mess!

The gravel is used as a drain for pots so the water dont pool
up in the bottom of the pot, some times the dirt or moss do cluck up the drain holes on the pots. also do sterilize the gravel and dirt before using, there are inzect eggs and pezt you need to get rid off. better safe then sorry 😉

soil usually clogs the hole at the bottom of the flower pot,so its must to use gravel bed around 1 inches thick beneath the soil just to make a good drainage system!
P.S.-that`s not a myth!
OC Gardener Says:
October 19th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
It is a myth. Gravel at the bottom creates a perched water table. It does not improve drainage. If you want water to drain well, put a piece of screen over the hole. Don't use gravel! If you don't believe this article, look up perched water table. You will learn about this in any botany or horticulture class.
Sam Says:

OC Gardener is correct. Any time you have a fine material over a course material, with an abrubt change between the two, you will have a perched water table. If soil is "clucking up" the bottom of your pots the screen is key. This could cause a problem if your potting mix is not up to par. Fine clays can accumulate and settle in the bottom of the pot. So make sure your potting mix is properly proportioned. Some plants will thrive in a wet environment, but you will know that you have a perched water table when you try to grow a plant that requires very well drained soil.

What if you place a 2″layer of pebbles in the the bottom of the pot with a screen over that separating the the soil from the pebbles. Wouldn't that create more surface area to drain (less likely for the drain hole to clog) and faster drainage than the single drain hole. I have done that for years and it seems to work fine.

The gravel or sand is to keep the drainage holes from clogging, as Olafur and topkick noted. A coffee filter works as well.
If you want a water reservoir to protect the plant from drying out, put some sand in the bottom of a pot (with no bottom holes) and make drainage holes in the side of the pot near the top of the sand. When the soil is saturated, water will drain into the sand, fill the reservoir, and drain out the side when the reservoir is full. As the soil dries out, soil moisture will move upward from the sand into the soil by capillary action, at least until the moisture content reaches an equilibrium.
A perched water table forms when the fine-grained layer in beneath the coarser-grained layer, not the other way around.

I put Spanish Moss in the bottom of my pots to keep soil from spilling out the drain holes. Sometimes I use fabric pot scrubbers to cover the holes as well. I hope it works out okay since this is my first time doing it…if it doesn't then I will have to try the coffee filters.

the purpose of rocks in the bottom of the pot is not only to drain water off the bottom of the soil, but to help air get in to the roots. Plus if you have straight soil in the pot, then all the water setting in the bottom of the pot makes your plant un-happy. because it will have or get root rot from all the water, and you can drowned it out. I say put some rocks in the bottom, and mix some in your dirt so that it will resemble a more natural growing environment. plus mix in a little bit of sand to help keep the soil lose and workable for when you might have to aerate the roots. plus it will help keep the soil broke down for the plants to get the nutrients from the soil. if you use a good potting soil it probably will have sand in it. just read the label to see if it is in there. if not then just use a little bit of sand because it is already a good soil that is pretty well broke down. however, if you use just plain ol dirt then you may want a little more sand in it and work it over real good mixing it so the dirt won't pack down and become hard. if the dirt gets to hard then water and air will have troubles penetrating to the plants roots.

Can you help? I have a sandstone planter situated along the width of my swimming pool. The planter has been waterproofed and a series of drainage holes have been placed along the back wall of the planter (close to the bottom). Could you please tell me if this is OK and how should I proceed? What do I have to do to get the planter ready for planting?
Kind regards

We are beginning to plant vegetables in long colorbond planter boxes. There is no holes in the bottom so I need to drill some in the plastic base. The sides are corrugated colorbond. Instead of using filters as mentioned, what if I put a rubber mesh doormat in there, and then soil over that?? Will that act as an airator and drainage, and allow soul to natural breathe & drain thru the bottom??

Serial plant killer here. On the typical self watering plastic container the holes in the base only line up correctly in one configuration. Why? Is it for the purpose of connecting only one or two of the holes to allow for airflow and better drainage? Thank you

Your opinion concerning covering the base of a tree
with stone chips. It's about 10 inches thick up the trunk.
I think this could damage the roots..cut off oxygen and
moisture. There's conflicting opinions here about this.

We have 14 very large concret culverts 4 & 5. Ft. diameter , 2ft to 6ft tall. We filled them half full with native dirt then filled the top half with good planting soil. Irrigation is a bubbler at each. All but one is doing great, it's the largest, at 5x6ft. The water just pools & won't drain. It's open at the bottom, sitting on native dirt. Only the one is having trouble. irrigation pipe is not broken. Any ideas to get it draining.

My problem is that when the outside pots are watered the soils drains too fast and flows out the bottom very quickly. I use high quality potting soil. The water has started staining the patio area. Just purchased saucers for the pots but they over flow if the plants are given a good watering. I live in Phoenix. Any suggestions to slow the water down from draining out so fast? The soil is not uniformly wet when the drip system is activated. Seems to go straight down and out.
David Says:

You're right about saturated water gathering at the bottom. However, when suggesting water under the pot increases humidity you are nurtering another myth. It does only do that in confined spaces, not in ventilated rooms like living areas, greenhouses or outdoors. Get a hygrometer and see for yourself. And the phrase "perched water table" I think is based on a misunderstanding by someone at the gradenweb forum. A water table is the level of water naturally occurring in the ground outdoors. The saturated water area at the bottom of pots doesn't have a name that I know of, you can call it trapped water, saturated water area, or possibly perched water but without the "table", although the word perched makes less sense in a pot than outdoors.
Charlie Says:

Can someone explain if my thinking is correct or why if it is not? I think gravel down the bottom helps drainage because it prevents the drain holes from getting blocked and preventing the soil from becoming water logged. It can allow for more air to reach the roots especially when used in conjunction with side holes at the bottom of the pots. Also i can't understand any reasoning behind the "perched water table" theory, soil which has adequate drainage will only hold so much water thus will never be "too" wet for the roots and if it is "too" wet then i would think it would be the mixture of soil that was not correct for your particular plant and maybe has a too higher water retention in it rather than it being the gravel below it that could be causing the problem? Maybe even adding more gravel to the mixture of soil would help this further?
Any explanation or opinion would be very much appreciated.
David Says:

Gravel at bottom does not improve drainage, and after watering (and a long while after that) bottom layer is saturated with water and oxygen moves 10000 times slower through water than air i e no oxygen that way.
Main item for getting much oxygen to roots is to have a large portion of pores with relatively large size (100-500um or so) which means the best thing toi do is to add e g gravel size 1-2 mm or at least 0,5-8mm (>8mm is ok but less good since roots will circulate it and thus lessen oxygen uptake). You must also avoid adding much fine grained substance since it will clog the big pores and then youre back at square 0
"perched weater table" is a funny name since there are no water tables in pots, just outdoors, but the ideas are correct also for pots and the saturated water layer att the bottom is there because of capillary action and surface tension
You have to go to a university library to get proper info, much confusion in internet forums and books on potted plants, and too complicated matter for forums like this. I am just writing a book on soil, sadly in Swedish though 😉

I disagree with this article. I have talked to many nursery people and they have told me to use gravel and sand mixed with cow manure and compost. the proper way to actually do it is to mix everything not layer it. This year I used just potting soil and some of my plants never made it out of the bulb stage because they drown. So I mixed sand/cow manure compost mixture, gravel, cactus potting soil and regular soil. I am also going to add an powdered egg shell/coffee used coffee grind mixture and I have drilled several holes in my pots for both air flow and drainage

Gravel In The Bottom Is Not So Much For Drainage As It Is So That Your Plants Won't Have Pruny Feet.
The Gravel Gives The Water A Place To Go So That The Soil Isn't Sitting In Water To Get Sour, And SoThat It Doesn't Cause Root Rot.
If Your Pot Doesn't Have Drainage Holes It Is Also Recommended That Some Charcoal Be Added To The Gravel To Keep The Water From Going Sour.

OK Everyone has made good and valid points. I think several methods with rocks have been passed down and not fully taught nor understood. Gravel or stone in average pot is for holes not layer. However you can enhance root growth by adding many different stones and or rocks specific to the plant and where it comes from. We are looking for trace minerals ok. Now I use lava rocks in the bottom of most fruit and flower I add lots of holes half way up the layer of rock ( So 2inch rock hole 1inch high on sides of container. IF POT HAS Holes on bottom block them water tight) Lava rocks retain water 1inch resavoir extra holes prevent over watering and adds air 1inch rocks(Makes 2inches) then promix. 1 week before fruit or flower add water and molasses feed directly to roots through holes MODESTLY Always half of manufactur suggested feeding measurements. (Gives plants a super boost to produce sugars and oils. SO MORE FLAVOR SMELL COLOR NATURALLY AWeSOME

Rocks or pebbles are often used is the bottom of pots with with screen, mesh, old pantyhose cutouts coffee filters on top of them, for pots with no holes in the bottom. Because creative placement of potted plants would not work with pots with holes.

As of Sunday, February 12, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
QUITMAN — Albany High's boys basketball team finished another chapter in its storybook season Saturday.
The Herald No. 1 Indians (21-2, 11-1) came from behind to beat Brooks, 59-47, to lock up the No. 1 seed in the Region 1-AA tournament, which starts next week in Quitman.
"I told them that we are regular-season champs, and that it's good to be a champion," said Albany coach Archie Chapman when asked what he told his team after Saturday's victory. "This was our first goal. Now we are going to try to make that next step next week."
Herald No. 2 Pelham girls fall to Seminole County amid controversy
DONALSONVILLE — Here's a little head's up, Georgia High School Association: You'll be getting a call sometime very soon from Pelham girls basketball coach Antonia Tookes.
Tookes told The Herald that she would be reporting what took place Saturday night to the GHSA, possibly as soon as today, after the Lady Hornets' stunning loss to Seminole County, 47-45.
Pelham, The Herald's No. 2-ranked team which entered the game 22-2 overall and perfect in region play, had already beaten Seminole once this season by a staggering 19 points. But Tookes said a series of "terrible calls" by the officiating crew "took the game out the players' hands."
"It was eight on five all night," Tookes said, making reference to the officials representing three extra players for Seminole versus their five. "It was the most unprofessional thing I've ever seen. And then when it was over, I sat there and watched all three of the refs laughing about what had just happened. It's not right, and the GHSA will be hearing from me."
Tookes said she had video of the game that she'll be sending to back up her claims, which included an offensive foul being called on Pelham during the potential game-winning drive with less than five seconds to go.
"We got a steal down two, Shay Reese went for the breakaway to tie the game up and they called a charge when it was clearly a blocking foul," Tookes said. "I almost lost it."
Reese and Octavia Kierce led Pelham with 17 apiece, while Seminole's Katrese Brown led with 14 and Alexus Watson scored 10.
Larry Sanford led the way with 18 points and was the only Indian to score in double figures. Brooks led for much of the first half and took a five-point lead into halftime before Albany took control of the game in the third quarter and then put it away in the fourth.
The Brooks girls defeated Albany, 64-47, but no other information was available at The Herald's press time.
SEMINOLE BOYS 59, PELHAM 54: Seminole County started Saturday night's game against Pelham down 10-0 and ended it with its biggest victory of the season.

Roderick Williams led Pelham with 19 points, while Shydarius Williams scored 18.
"No doubt this was our biggest win of the season," Seminole coach Kevin Godwin said. "It's good to be playing well at the end of the season."
Seminole will now play Tuesday against the winner of the play-in game in Donalsonville, while Pelham will be the No. 2 seed and play Terrell County on Wednesday night in Camilla.
LEE COUNTY GIRLS 42, TURNER COUNTY 39: The Lady Trojans (13-8) got 19 points from DaQuenna Moore to close out the regular season with a win.

I shared with you my first visit to Yesterday's Cafe and Tea Room with my Mom. My Sister Friend, Denise who is also gluten free came to town for an overnight visit so of course I figured out a way to squeeze in a trip to Yesterday's. I made the reservation a week in advance and I am not sure if that helped but we were THRILLED with the variety of gluten free menu options!
When we walked in they offered us a sample of Chi Tea and made sure to mention it was gluten free. Not pictured was a cup of Porcini Mushroom Soup that was AMAZING! As you can see pictured above we ordered the lunch tea and were were thrilled! Our chicken salad (which is amazing) was served on gluten free bread and they even had a tortilla roll that we could eat too!
The salad was amazing made with homemade dressing was also gluten free and just a small amount of delicious mashed potatoes really filled us up! Denise saved room for a gluten free cookie for dessert and I did eat one bite and it was delicious too. Visit Yesterday's Cafe and Tea Room for more details.
If you are gluten free or vegan I urge you to visit Yesterday's Cafe and Tea Room. You will not regret it! Prices for tea breads and muffins are $2.25 and up and prices for soup start at around $3.00. I will be going back for sure!

By Maggie
from Massachusetts
Quite unexpectedly I found my abdominal aorta had a moderate amount of plaque build up even tough my cholesterol levels were excellent. About a month ago I asked my doctor to check my C-reactive protein. If this level is elevated it shows there is an inflammation process going on in the body and is one of the reasons that causes plaque build up even though lipid levels are normal. It was extremely high. He put me on 1000 mg of niacin/day to try and reduce the plaque build up but does not reduce inflammation. I did extensive research to find out what natural product would reduce inflammation and found ecklonia cava was the best for my need. I have not had the C-reactive protein checked again because it is too soon. However I have Baretts esophagus which is a pre-cancerous condition and results in sever and sometimes painful heart burn. I have not had a single episode of burning since starting Fibronol and it happened daily even while taking protein pump inhibitors . I was also told I have an inflamed bladder and the problems that go along with it. Since starting Fibronol all the symptoms are gone. I can only assume the chronic inflammation has caused these problems because they both subsided as soon as I started taking Fibronol. In two months I will know if the C-reactive protein level has decreased but from what I have experienced so far Im sure it will be much lower. I am extremely pleased I found Fibronol and Pureformulas.com has the best price I could find anywhere.
This product is amazing. I never expected relief of symptoms that I thought would be unrelated to the reason I purchased the product.
There is nothing to dislike about this product.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp today praised Wisconsin residents for their participation in last month's National Prescription Drug "Take-Back" Day, which resulted in 19.25 tons (38,506 lbs) worth of unwanted, expired or unused prescription drugs being dropped off statewide. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which coordinates the national "Take-Back" event, Wisconsin ranked 4th in the nation in the total amount collected, trailing only the much larger states of California, Texas and New York.
"I'm again grateful for the many people who take a few moments to participate and properly dispose of their unused prescription drugs during these events," Attorney General Van Hollen said. "Prescription drugs that sit in household medicine cabinets can be diverted for misuse and abuse, and sadly, can be a precursor to Heroin abuse, which we know is a significant problem across Wisconsin. I'm also thankful to the DEA for its leadership on this initiative, and to our state, local and tribal law enforcement partners that take part or assist."
"Wisconsinites have repeatedly shown their commitment to this issue by turning out in big numbers," DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp said. "These 'Take-Back' events help to ensure these drugs are disposed of properly instead of being flushed or tossed in a landfill, which can threaten the quality of our air, surface and groundwaters, as well as our fish and wildlife."
Nationally, 324 tons (647,211 pounds) of expired and unwanted medications were turned back for safe and proper disposal at the 5,683 "Take-Back" sites that were available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, making the October event the second-largest collection of medications in seven "Take-Back" Days, according to the DEA. The "Take-Back" service is free and anonymous for those who wish to drop off unwanted, expired or unused prescription drugs during these biannual events.
During the last "Take-Back" Day in April of this year, Wisconsin residents dropped off nearly 23 tons (45,581.3 lbs) worth of unwanted, expired or unused prescription drugs at nearly 180 collection sites statewide. Throughout Wisconsin in 2012, the DEA reported that a total of 30.1 tons, or 60,205 pounds, worth of prescription drugs were dropped off at collection sites during the two "Take-Back" days in April and October 2012, making Wisconsin one of the largest contributors of unwanted medications in the country. In addition to the many local law enforcement agencies that participate as drop-off sites for residents, the Wisconsin State Patrol, Wisconsin National Guard and special agents with the Department of Justice – Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) assist with annual "Take-Back" efforts.

NEW YORK—Vice President Joe Biden joined Mayor Michael Bloomberg at the pulpit in City Hall on Thursday, March 21, sternly reiterating that the package of proposed gun laws awaiting Congress was constitutional and urging Americans to press their legislators for change.
The proposals, which have been hotly debated for months, include requiring a background check on all gun sales and limiting the magazine size to 10 rounds. Reinstating an assault weapons ban had been a part of the bill, however, Democrats dropped the assault weapons ban from the legislation this week.
Opponents of the latest package of gun control reform have argued the laws would overstep Americans' right to bear arms, which is protected by the Constitution. Some critics fear the background checks will open the door to a national gun registry.
"Let's get this straight," the vice president said. "There is not one single thing. Not one, not one, not one that infringes upon anyone's Second Amendment constitutional right. Not one."
The mayor and vice president was joined by several family members of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in which 20 children and six adults were gunned down by a man carrying an assault weapon on Dec. 14.
"That weapon of war has no place on American streets. Taking it off of American streets has no impact on one's constitutional right to own a weapon," Biden said.
He cited Supreme Court Justice Scalia, in his 2008 decision, saying the government has the right to limit certain weapons from being possessed by American citizens.
Bloomberg, who has rallied for stricter gun control laws in recent years, urged Americans to press their federal representatives for change.
"Everyone is going to have to stand up and say yea or nay and then the rest of us have to decide just how we feel about people and their stance," Bloomberg said.
The mayor said Americans should call their Congressperson or Senator and have their voice heard, urged proponents of the bill to vote against anyone voting against the package, regardless of name, reputation, or party affiliation. "That is the only way you will make a difference here. Congress just has to get some courage and it is up to us as Americans, and as fellow human beings to give them that courage."
Neil Heslin, whose 6-year old son Jesse Lewis was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary, spoke at City Hall. "I ask everybody to stand up and speak out and Congress to step up and make a change," Heslin said, appearing emotional. "I am ashamed to see Congress doesn't have the guts to stand up and make a change and put a ban on these types of weapons," Heslin said.
Related: Emotions High in Senate Hearing on Gun Control
Biden said, "It must be awful being in public office and concluding that, even though you might believe you should take action, that you can't take action because of the political consequence you face," the vice president said. "What a heck of a way to make a living."
The Senate will debate the bill next month, however it will not contain the assault weapons ban. The House will take up the bill after it passes the Senate.

Next up for the Holy Cross men's rowing team is the Eastern Sprints on Sunday, May 21 beginning at 8:00 a.m.

This post will not be subtle. My girlfriend and I walked into the Greek restaurant Alpha Ouzeri on Brunswick St and were barely able to waddle out after taking the $39 set menu challenge. Add a bottle of the very pleasant Darley pinot gris from Mornington Peninsula and you have an impressive meal for two for $120.
From the top down: dips; mezedes; saganaki (mostly eaten before I remembered to photograph it); seafood; roast meat, lamb cutlets, skewers and wonderful lemon potatoes (also recommended by Where Adles eats); salad; and desserts including galactoboureko and loukoumades (loved by Egg tarts and apple pie).
Be warned that their website is one of the worst in the known universe, but the quality and quantity of the food, the service and the value for money are all impressive.
