In the United States, T-Mobile is a cellular telecommunications provider. It is wholly owned by Deutsche Telekom, itself based in Bonn, Germany, as part of its T-Mobile division. It was formed from 4 U.S. companies, VoiceStream Wireless, Aerial, Omni Point and Powertel (VoiceStream acquired Aerial, Omnipoint and Powertel before T-Mobile acquired it). In May 2001, VoiceStream was acquired by Deutsche Telekom for US$24 billion, and in September 2002 the combined U.S. company's name changed to T-Mobile. Headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, T-Mobile USA is currently the fourth-largest wireless carrier in the U.S. market, behind AT&T; Mobility, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel with 33.8 million customers as of the end of the third quarter of 2010 and annual revenue of US$21.53 billion for their 2009 fiscal year.

Techniques to easily disable flash in Firefox and IE
I get asked quite often about how to temporarily disable flash in Firefox and IE. Although there are Firefox Add-ons like Adblock and Flashblock, these don't actually deactivate the plugin. They simply replace flash elements with static elements. For testing purposes its important to understand exactly what users without flash will see. With that in mind, here are two techniques I use to quickly disable the flash plugin in Firefox 3 and IE 7.
Firefox 3: Disable flash plugin
Firefox makes it very easy to disable any browser plugin. Simply go to Tools->Add-ons->Plugins. Select "Shockwave Flash" from the list of plugins and click the disable button. Thats it. No need to restart. When your ready to activate flash again simply follow the same steps. Screenshot not good enough for you?
Internet Explorer 7: Toggle Flash
Toggle Flash is a toolbar button that executes a script to temporarily disable flash in the browser. Again, no need to restart. Click the button and flash is disabled. When your ready to re-enable flash just click the button again. There is one quirk in that it dosent have any sort of visual feedback on whether flash is enabled or disabled. You sort of have to just remember. Regardless its a simple and very useful tool.

Yorkshire Pudding
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1-1/2 cups milk, at room temperature
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon of your favorite Traeger Rub or Shake, or table salt
- About 3 tablespoons meat drippings or bacon fat, melted
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and milk using a hand-held mixer or a whisk. Sift the flour into the mixing bowl 1/2 cup at a time, whisking after each addition. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. Start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 400 degrees F (or High) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon of the meat drippings into the batter. Divide the remaining meat drippings between the wells of a muffin tin or popover pan. Preheat the pan on the grill grate for 5 minutes to heat the fat. Quickly fill each well 2/3 full of batter and close the lid of your Traeger. Bake the puddings for 20 minutes without peeking. Continue to bake for 5 to 10 minutes more, or until the puddings are puffed and golden brown. Poke a hole in each with a toothpick to release the steam: Otherwise, the puddings will collapse. Which is okay, too. Serve warm with gravy.

Fewer DUI arrests in Arizona over St. Pat's weekend
PHOENIX — Arizona authorities said there were fewer DUI arrests made over
the St. Patrick's Day weekend compared to a year ago.
According to statistics from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, there
were 273 DUI arrests statewide from Thursday through Sunday. That's down from
289 in the same period in 2012.
Aggravated DUIs dropped from 33 this St. Patrick's Day weekend to 19 during the
same period a year ago and extreme DUIs decreased from 92 to 72.
The Governor's Office of Highway Safety didn't organize statewide DUI task
forces like it normally does for holidays.
Agencies across Arizona conducted their own saturation enforcements throughout
the weekend.

Venice Thoughts...Posted on Friday July 31, 2009, 15:04 by Damon Wise
I must confess to being pleasantly surprised by the line-up of this year's Venice film festival; last year's was, quite frankly, awful. A seemingly wilfully self-sabotaging selection, it seemed as though the selectors were actually giving up the ghost and saying: "Look, this is all that's out there!" At the end of the festival – at which one of the mainstream 'highlights' was a children's film, Ponyo, to my mind Hayao Miyazaki's worst film by miles – the only relief came with a 1-2-3 courtesy of our American allies, when The Hurt Locker, Rachel Getting Married and The Wrestler emerged from the murk. This year is a much more Empire-friendly festival than last, and I'll start with the obvious ones. There's Steven Soderbergh's The Informant!, a Richard Lester-style screwball comedy about an Insider-type whistle-blower, with an unexpectedly goofy Matt Damon in the lead. And staying with conspiracies, Grant Heslov finally unveils his George Clooney-starring adaptation of Jon Ronson's non-fiction book The Men Who Stare At Goats. For me, though, the two to look out for are a) Werner Herzog's long-awaited remake of Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant, starring Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes, and b) John Hillcoat's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road, with Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron. God knows if either will be any good, but I know darn well I'll be there. Michael Moore will be stumping up Capitalism: A Love Story, which is ironic in itself, since the Lido is notorious for hiking its prices up for the duration of the festival. An interesting inclusion, too, is Jaco Van Dormael's time-spanning epic Mr Nobody, which stars Inglourious Basterds star Diane Kruger and was right royally snubbed by Cannes, apparently. In the midnight slot, Nicolas Winding Refn will be premiering his Viking adventure Valhalla Rising (pictured) and, although I can't seem to find out exactly where it's screening, it seems George Romero will be there too with his latest under-the-radar zombie flick Survival Of The Dead (*Update!* Yes, it's there). And in the wait for Toy Story 3, Pixar will also be using the festival as a platform for 3D-enhanced reissues of the previous two instalments. The main line-up is as follows... COMPETITION Baaria (Giuseppe Tornatore, Italy) *Soul Kitchen (Fatih Akin, Germany) La Doppia Ora (Giuseppe Capotondi, Italy) Yi ngoi (Accident) (Cheang Pou-Soi, China/Hong Kong) Persecution (Patrice Chereau, France) White Space (Francesca Comencini, Italy) *White Material (Claire Denis, France) **Mr. Nobody (Jaco van Dormael, France) *A Single Man (Tom Ford, US) Lourdes (Jessica Hausner, Austria) ***Bad Lieutenant: Port Of New Orleans (US, Werner Herzog) ***The Road (John Hillcoat, US) Between Two Worlds), Vimukhti Jayasundara, Sri Lanka) The Traveller) Ahmed Maher, Eqypt) Lebanon (Samuel Maoz, Israel) ***Capitalism: A Love Story (Michael Moore, US) Women Without Men (Shirin Neshat, Germany) Il Grande Sogno (The Big Dream), Michele Placido, Italy) 36 Vues Du Pic Saint Loup (Jacques Rivette, France) **Life During Wartime (Todd Solondz, US) *Tetsuo The Bullet Man (Shinya Tsukamoto, Japan Prince of Tears (Yonfan, China/Taiwan/Hong Kong) OUT OF COMPETITION *[Rec ] 2 (Paco Plaza,Jaume Balaguero, Spain Chengdu, I Love You (Fruit Chan, Cui Jian,China **The Hole (Joe Dante, US ***The Men Who Stare At Goats (Grant Heslov, US Scheherazade, Tell Me A Story (Yousry Nasrallah, Egypt Yona Yona Penguin (Rintaro, Japan) ***The Informant!

The Economics of Happiness Conference focuses on an agenda for change — away from jobless growth towards sustainable livelihoods; from large-scale sweatshops towards scaled-down business; from self-recrimination and guilt towards empowerment and collaboration; from a globalized system of exploitation and inequality towards an economics of happiness.
The conference will bring together more than twenty of the most respected thinkers and activists in the worldwide localization movement, including Charles Eisenstein, Bill McKibben, Annie Leonard, Sulak Sivaraksa, Richard Heinberg, Anuradha Mittal, Michael Shuman, Stacy Mitchell, Megan Quinn Bachman, Judy Wicks, Gustavo Esteva, Manish Jain, Helena Norberg-Hodge and more. The event will also feature performances by local celebrities Jennifer Berezan, Nina Wise and Wes "Scoop" Nisker.
Hosted by the International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC), The Economics of Happiness conference seeks to provide clarity on the way forward — towards more truly sustainable ways of living. It will cover a range of interconnected topics, including public policy choices; local initiatives in food, energy, education, business and banking; the need to bridge the North-South divide; and the influence of the economy on our psychological well-being.

On Assignment: Dealing with TV's and CRT's
I shot the CEO near a bank of TV's, and I want to take this opportunity to talk about some of the problems and solutions for dealing with the little buggars. (TV's, not CEO's.)
There are several things you have to remember when shooting TVs/CRT's, and I want to walk you through one thought process you can take when you come upon them.
The first two things you need to remember are to (a) kill the ambient, and (b) get to a shutter speed of 1/30th of a second or longer.
The ambient cannot always be controlled. But you want to get it as low as possible because the CRT's are basically light sources. The tone of the "turned off" CRT in the room's existing light is the darkest tone you will possibly be able to get for your richest black on screen when the CRT is turned on.
This is to say that, if the TV is a medium grey value in the room light, that is the deepest black you will be able to get in your lit photo of the functioning TV.
To get the ambient down, turn off the room lights if you can (duh). Also, try to shade any windows by drawing the curtains or blinds.
Once you have the TV (or computer CRT) in as dark an environment as possible, turn it on. Meter through the lens at the TV, with the picture filling the frame.
Here's where the 1/30th comes into play. Set your shutter there, because that is the fastest shutter speed that will get you a complete scan cycle of the cathode ray, which "paints" the screen about 30 times a second. That's why you get little stripes at, say, 1/125th or 1/250th. Luckily, this is not the case for most of the flat-paneled monitors we are using more and more these days. But they are dim enough where the slow shutter speed is usually gong to be used anyway.
Now that you have your shutter speed set, adjust your aperture for best exposure. If you cannot get the f/stop opened enough for a good exposure, drop to a 15th of a second. Or an 8th. You get the idea.
This full-scan, ambient light exposure will be your working exposure for the whole photo. This is why you want the turned-on TV to be the brightest thing in the room. Your subject will be darker, and you will have to adjust your flash to raise the subject to balance with the TV. Fortunately, you are not afraid of a little manual flash now and then, Right?
The last thing to remember about CRT's is that they are rounded, which means you may have to work a little creative lighting geometry to hide the flash's reflections in the screen. One tip is to stick your flash behind the monitor and shoot in profile like we did in the final shot in "Abstract Concrete," earlier.
OK, so back to The "D" Channel lady.
We got the room as dark as possible, which was "not very." This means that my blacks on the monitor were not as rich as I would have preferred. But as long as you know how to do it, that is what is important. The monitors filled the wall on the left, so I brought my Nikon SB-28 strobe (on a stand, in an umbrella) around closer to me (on the right) than I normally might have. This got rid of my flash reflections in the TV's.
The TV's were around 1/30th at 2.8 at 400 ASA, if memory serves. (This is usually about where they hit, and a good starting point for guest-imating.) The actual exposure is less important than knowing how you get there. Then I just dialed the flash down on manual, checking the TFT monitor as I went, until she looked balanced.
I know this sounds like a lot if you are new to it, but it really is not. Here it is again, in a nutshell:
1) Get the room as dark as possible.
2) Using 1/30th as your maximum shutter speed, get your exposure, based on the TV screen - right through the lens.
3) Adjust your flash to balance the subject.
4) Angle your flash to avoid TV reflections.
Computers (and TV screens) are a fact of life, and hardly a week goes by that I do not have to shoot someone in that environment. Learn to do it well, and never worry about it again.

As politicians, citizens, and families continue the raging national debate on whether it's proper to end human life in the womb, resources like Randy Alcorn's Prolife Answers to Prochoice Arguments have proven invaluable. With over 75,000 copies in print, this revised and updated guide offers timely information and inspiration from a "sanctity of life" perspective. Real answers to real questions about abortion appear in logical and concise form. The final chapter -- "Fifty Ways to Help Unborn Babies and Their Mothers"-- is worth the price of this book alone.

Luxury dog care open for business
Affluent South Koreans have just about every fashion accessory imaginable from designer clothes to handbags and the latest trend in Asia's fourth biggest economy is small dogs.
Just like their well-groomed owners in the ritzy suburbs of the capital Seoul, pets are now big business for groomers, healthcare businesses and even mood music, helping to create a whole new service industry.
"IRION" is a luxury pet care centre in the Gangnam district in Seoul that recently opened to cater to the needs of affluent urban dwellers who have embraced small dogs as their latest fashion accessory.
With prices of up to $60 a day for a dog "kindergarten" and up to $180 a day for a doggy hotel room, it certainly doesn't come cheap.
"IRION is a place that provides premium services for customers who consider their pets as family members," So-Hyun Park, the company's Chief Executive Officer told Reuters.
The centre offers not only grooming, but also medical services, hotel rooms for pets, a kindergarten, a training room and even a store where these pet dogs can accessorise.
Vava, a three-year-old female poodle, needs to be groomed ahead of her appearance on the "dog-walk" in a canine beauty competition.
Just like Seoulites with children, stressed out by the competing needs of job and family, dog owners can put their charges in a "kindergarten".
IRION says pets enrolled with the kindergarten program can learn how to communicate with people and other animals. For those having difficulty training their pets, the center introduces both owners and pets to one-on-one private consultation lessons. Originating in the U.K., these reward-based programs help participants learn effective ways to approach their pets. Although, the program isn't just about education; IRION says it takes comprehensive steps to ensure the pets' mental stability and physical health and so the kindergarten and the hotel rooms play soothing music for pets to help them feel relaxed.
Veterinarians are on stand-by to visit the pets in the kindergarten and the hotel at least once a day to check on the animals. They receive free grooming and have their teeth brushed. After having snacks in the afternoon, pets return to the hotel to take a nap for about an hour. Owners can keep tabs on what is going on with a real-time live webcam.
It costs 60 US dollars to enroll a pet in the kindergarten or the day care program and the price of a hotel room ranges from $36 to $180 dollars a day, depending on how big the dog is and how long he or she stays, with a pickup time of 7pm; the end of the working day for busy Seoulites.

Wow that's amazing. Normally I'd think it was crazy to spend more on a dog hotel than a human hotel, but hey, pets are family too right?

Diplomatic ties-A A +A
Politics also
Wednesday, February 5, 2014
FORGING a friendly relationship between citizens is a unique exchange of goodwill between two nations. Who initiated this, or whose idea it is to start a so-called Working Holiday Scheme (WHS) between the Philippines and New Zealand deserves a collective salute from both nations.
The agreement will start today, when citizens of the two countries with ages 18 to 30 years old can apply for a special visa. The joint agreement would allow the visa-holder of either nation to stay and work or study for one year in the country, respectively, under the program which is the first of its kind for our country, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
The agreement--signed on the part of the Philippines by DFA Secretary Albert del Rosario and on the side of New Zealand by Foreign Minister Murray McCully--was entered into by both nations in October 2012.
The agreement may be viewed as an experiment intended "to generate closer people-to-people understanding and goodwill through tourism, cultural and educational exchanges and short term employment and allow young participants from the Philippines and New Zealand to experience firsthand the thriving way of life in the communities and engage more closely with the local people in each other's country."
The WHS will approve only 100 applicants at a time. However, knowing how our Filipino youth welcomes such opportunities to work or study abroad, I believe limiting the number of applicants over a 12-month period would not be enough. I estimate the DFA would eventually be hard-put to control the influx of applicants who would like to avail of the opportunity to go to New Zealand.
And I believe that it would be a similarly the same situation in New Zealand when there would be a rush, too, of New Zealanders.
The program initiated by the two countries is simply something that has not been done yet in our part of the globe. I believe that if the "experiment" would succeed, mutual agreement among the other nations of the globe would proliferate.
But I think that 12 months are not enough to develop the intended goal of the diplomatic relationship. Perhaps, a minimum of two years would be good enough to attain the intended purpose of the WHS, as it would offer more leeway for friendly relationships to bloom, and for those who study or work establish deeper ties.
At any rate, the agreement is truly a "significant milestone" in the Philippine-New Zealand bilateral diplomacy. It is something that I did not know had earlier been struck until I read the report in yesterday's issue of this daily.
That it was done without much fanfare, is a good sign that there was no political under-current involved in the bigger or wider plain of the national interest between the two nations. Such a matter disdains manipulation and secret deals.
The way things look, the Philippine-New Zealand bilateral ties is one of genuine relationship between two friends who are close and open to each other.

This section contains policies and guidelines concerning requesting, assigning and registering AS (Autonomous System) numbers in the AFRINIC region.
7.1 Introduction
AFRINIC (the African Network Information Center) is the regional Internet Registry for Africa and part of the Indian Ocean region (Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, Comoros). It is responsible for distributing public Internet address space and related resources (including Autonomous System Numbers) in the region and coordinating the development and implementation of the policies to manage those resources.
The policies described in this document have been developed by the Internet community through a consensus process facilitated by AFRINIC. They are to be implemented by AFRINIC.
7.2 Scope
This document describes the policies relating to the distribution, management, and use of Autonomous System (AS) numbers in the AFRINIC service region. These policies apply to IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Policies of other regions other than the AFRINIC service region are outside the scope of this document.
7.3 Definitions
The following terms and definitions are used in this document.
a. Autonomous System (AS)
An Autonomous System (AS) is a connected group of one or more IP prefixes run by one or more network operators under a single and clearly defined routing policy.
b. Autonomous System Number (ASN)
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique integer associated with an AS. ASN is used as an identifier to allow the AS to exchange dynamic routing information with other Autonomous Systems.
Exterior routing protocols (such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) described in RFC 1771) are used with ASNs to exchange information between networks. An AS will normally use some interior gateway protocol to exchange routing information on its internal networks.
c. Multi-homed Network
A multi-homed AS is one which is connected to more than one other AS. An AS also qualifies as multi-homed if it is connected to a public Internet Exchange Point.
d. Routing policy
The routing policy of an AS is a description of how network prefixes are exchanged between that AS and other Autonomous Systems.
e. aut-num object
An aut-num object is an object in the Whois database used to register ASN assignment details.
7.4 Eligibility for an AS Number assignment
It is important to determine which sites require unique AS Numbers and which do not require a unique AS Number should use one or more of the AS Numbers reserved for private use. Those numbers are: 64512 through 65535 (RFC1930).
In order to qualify for an AS number, the requesting organization must fulfill the following requirements:
7.4.1 A unique routing policy (its policy differs from its border gateway peers).
7.4.2 A multi-homed site.
7.4.3 An organization will also be eligible if it can demonstrate that it will meet the above criteria upon receiving an ASN (or within a reasonably short time thereafter).
7.4.4 Be an AFRINIC member in a good standing (End-User or LIR type)
All requests for ASNs under these criteria will be evaluated using the guidelines described in RFC1930 "Guidelines for the creation, selection and registration of an Autonomous System (AS).
7.5 Ownership and Routing Considerations
7.5.1 Ownership
The Internet community regards ASNs as a public resource that should only be distributed according to demonstrated need. Neither assignment nor registration confers ownership of resources. Organizations that use ASNs are considered "custodians" rather than "owners" of the resource, and are not entitled to sell or otherwise transfer that resource to other parties.
7.5.2 Routing considerations
Responsible management of ASNs is necessary to help limit the expansion of global routing tables. Aggregating contiguous IP address prefixes within single Autonomous Systems helps to minimize the number of routes announced to the global Internet.
7.6 Assignment Procedures
AFRINIC assigns AS Numbers for Autonomous Systems located in the AFRINIC service region and accepts requests from LIRs, non-LIR's members and non-members fulfilling the eligibility requirements in Section 5.0 of this document.
AFRINIC may ask for such information that may help to understand the planned routing policy and to decide if an AS Number is actually needed.
7.6.1 Using ASNs for LIRs network
Assignments to ISPs that will use the ASN in their own network are subject to the following terms:
- The requesting ISP is responsible for maintaining the registration described in Section 8.
- The requesting ISP is entitled to continue using the ASN, even if they change network peers or service providers.
LIRs with AFRINIC will not be charged any annual maintenance fee for ASNs.
7.6.2 Providing ASNs to non-LIRs
Assignments to any other organizations that are not LIRs are subject to the following terms:
- The company that will actually use the ASN must meet the criteria above.
- The requesting company is responsible for maintaining the registration described below.
- A one-time registration fee will be charged for each ASN assigned, as described in AFRINIC's Fee Schedule. Every three years thereafter, AFRINIC will invoice the organization for an annual maintenance fee, payable on the anniversary date of the original assignment.
7.7 Registration Requirements
All ASNs assigned must be publicly registered in the AFRINIC Whois database. AFRINIC will create the 'aut-num' object in the database.
All attributes of the 'aut-num' object must be properly registered in accordance with the AFRINIC Whois database documentation. Without limiting these general requirements, Sections 8.1, 8.2 describe particular requirements for ASN registrations.
7.7.1 Registering contact persons
Administrative and technical contact persons must be registered for each ASN assigned. The registered administrative contact ('admin-c') is the person responsible for the ASN and should generally be someone who is physically located at the site of the AS.
The technical contact ('tech-c') need not be physically located at the site of the AS, but must be a person who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of that AS.
7.7.2 Registering routing policy
AFRINIC recommends that the routing policy of the AS is registered in Whois Database each ASN assigned.
7.7.3 Updating registration details
LIR's responsible for ASNs should update the 'aut-num' object in the AFRINIC Whois database if any of the registration information changes.
7.8 Returning unused ASNs
If an ASN is not being used by the organization that originally received it, it should be returned. AFRINIC will then return it to the public pool of AS Numbers for reassignment to another Autonomous System in the AFRINIC region.
7.9 Miscellaneous
AFRINIC may publish other guidelines related to ASNs including charging (maintenance recovery fees) details and related agreements, request forms, a further description of evaluation procedures, practices that LIR requesting ASNs are expected to adopt and information that may assist organizations to request ASNs.
Any other guidelines published will be developed within the community (where necessary) and will be consistent with the goals and policies described in this document.
The "10%" requirement appears to have been removed at one point during the revisions and discussions. The final content restricting out-of-region usage reads: "AfriNIC resources are for AfriNIC service region and any use outside the region should be solely in support of connectivity back to the AfriNIC region"
See 3.8 of http://www.afrinic.net/en/library/policies/697-ipv4-soft-landing-policy
If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can advise?

I'll begin with the end: This will be the last planned post and update for www.whatiatethisweek.com. There, I said it. It's real now!
When I started this site, nearly three years ago now, my life was in a very, very different place. Reeling from a divorce that shook me to my core, I was searching for meaning in a variety of places. Like an early-onset mid-life crisis, I went into full-scale learning mode. I took cooking classes (some of which were detailed in the early weeks on this site), got a guitar teacher, and decided to get out there and explore our local world of food, something which isn't necessarily on the top of every couple's to-do lists. I also wrote, a lot. Writing for me was kind of the ultimate catharsis, a way to make sense of thoughts and feelings, when no other medium would do. At first, I wrote about grief and sorrow, and then conjecture about life. As most writers of sob stories will tell you, that's tiring work. At a certain point, it became more of a drain than a relief, at which point I promptly stopped.
But the desire to write remained. So, with my new culinary discoveries taking place, I combined the two into the idea for a silly way for me to maintain self-expression. I owe my friend Kyle much thanks for the concept of the blog, and we even collaborated on the name. He was with me Week 1, when the idea was hatched over Zingerman's Donut Sundae, and he's been with me for many of these delicious weeks. What started on a lark as a way to get me out of the house (by forcing myself to eat a meal in a new place every week!) actually somehow became interesting or helpful for a few folks- no one was more surprised than me, since I have never written this for anyone but myself. But it has been awesome to learn about new places and commune with like-minded individuals in the community. It's exactly that kind of exploration and interaction that has kept me at this even beyond the point where I needed the blog for self-expression. A special tip of the hat to Julie Niesen and Liz Abdnour, both of whom offered tons of early encouragement- both also have tremendous food skills as well. (I know all of you know Julie's Wine Me, Dine Me blog. It may be one of the best "personal" food webpages I've ever read.)
So, why now? A few reasons, really. The main reason is a pretty big one: We're moving to Boston. Corporate life has its quirks, one of which is you need to be at the ready when that mysterious and fateful phone call hits. So, that's exciting- we love Boston and I think we can look forward to a few years of tremendous exploration. But you know what Boston needs even less than Cincinnati? A self-indulgent amateur food writer with a once-a-week scattershot approach.
But even more important, this is harder than I gave it credit for, and it actually can get a little stressful. At times, it even feels like a part-time job, rushing home from a weekend in Michigan on a Sunday, knowing I can't get into my evening routine until I've done my post for the week. Now, I'm not looking for sympathy–after all this IS a hobby, not a job– but it does explain a little bit of my reasons for wanting to change it up a bit. So, as with other things in life, this provides an opportunity to make a positive change as we start exploring a new life together!
So… that makes it pretty final. It feels appropriate that I am typing this as a team of movers is gliding through the house, hauling boxes of our prized possessions to a big truck we'll next see in Boston. We leave today, and we'll head north to Michigan for one last football game, then eastbound we go! Exciting stuff! So, we decided to make last night a "one for the road" last dinner in town. The past week or two, we've been hitting up some nostalgic haunts (see last week's post) and we had just a couple left.
We started at Dewey's Pizza. I do love that place. I know pizza places are supposed to be judged on "authenticity," and I value that as much as anyone, but Dewey's simply makes an outstanding pie. Thin, pillowy, and replete with toppings that taste fresh, Dewey's makes a very consistent, very tasty meal. S loves the salads, too- the harvest salad is full of autumnal, smoky goodness, thanks in part to Nueske's applewood bacon, a food that has made a great many appearances on this site. The meal wasn't overly nostalgic, but it was good, and it reminded us of why we always feel so comfortable here. We had a 1/2 Bronx Bomber (sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, onions, olives) and 1/2 Hawaiian. An excellent last dinner!
For a nightcap, I wanted to go to Mulligan's on Madison, as there was college football on. Of course, at this point I'm really dating myself, as Mulligan's had changed hands and become the Pig and Whistle… until they closed. So, no luck there. As a result, and as with virtually every week of the last 150, we ended up someplace new: the Cock and Bull Pub on Hyde Park Square. I'm not generally a fan of these always-packed, faux-Irish spots as they tend to have loud customers, little genuine character, and mediocre food. Hard to judge this place on those merits- being a Thursday night, it wasn't too packed or loud, and we didn't eat. (The character, though, was full-on faux-Irish.) they had Bell's beers on tap, which was excellent as it may be a while before we encounter those again!
And our final stop of the evening was across the street at Graeters. Is there anyplace-food-based or otherwise-more iconic than this ice cream chain? I came to Cincinnati an ice-cream liker, but Greaeters sends me away 13 years later an ice-cream lover. (They're also sending me away a few pounds heavier.) We got our waffle cones (a black cherry for me, a coconut chip for S– our favorite flavors), wandered out to the square and took a seat, taking it all in.
And for me, this was where it started-like for so many new transplants to Cincinnati. I lived just off of the Square and nursed my how-will-I-get-by-since-I-am-not-in-college-anymore anxieties by walking to and from dinner spots, and I've always had a connection with this neighborhood. Like Cincinnati itself, it is interesting, genuine, and comfortable. It was a lovely evening,
So, I suppose I'll say bye for now. You'll likely see me again in some sort of online venture when boredom hits, so I'll never say never! But for those of you who have been reading, thanks, and keep tabs on this place for me. When work brings me back (as it inevitably will), I'll need to know what spots I need to hit up!
Until then have fun,

WASHINGTON — A woman with a 1-year-old girl led Secret Service and police on a harrowing car chase from the White House past the Capitol Thursday, attempting to penetrate the security barriers at both national landmarks before she was shot to death, police said. The child survived.
"I'm pretty confident this was not an accident," said Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier. Still, Capitol Police said there appeared to be no terrorist link. The woman apparently was unarmed.
