We have been to four coffeeshops closer to our place in the South end and decided to try something different. We had a chocolate croissant and pear-walnut muffin, and each a hot beverage. The muffin was fantastic; soft and delicately flavoured, but not too sweet, and croissant was flaky and buttery with just enough chocolate. However, my soymilk chai latte was just okay and not nearly hot enough, while my boyfrien... view moreLike this review?Yes|Flag AbuseProvided by Citysearch

This is my second home! They have the best coffee I have been able to find and I am a picky espresso drinker. Their muffins, cakes and slices are delicious and their banana bread is to die for.

My wife and I love this place. It is always fast and the pastries and sandwiches are at least as good as anywhere else that we have found in this city after three years. The service is always very friendly and prompt. There is nothing better or faster than a toasted onion bagel with veggie cream cheese and a coffee on a Sunday morning.

Decent bakery but could be better. Wish their croissants were lighty and flakier. Good sandwiches - breaded chicken cutlet/pastrami/ham/hot dogs are recommended. Good soups. Service is slow.Like this review?Yes|Flag AbuseProvided by Citysearch
The service of the front counter at the Appleton Bakery is such a shame. Everytime I have ordered an espresso drink I have been met with a huge sigh and roll of the eyes. I know making a latte takes a little more effort, but I think it comes with the bakery/cafe territory! On top of that, on my last and final visit there, I was very rudely reprimanded for only having a twenty to pay with, despite my apology and re... view moreLike this review?Yes|Flag AbuseProvided by Citysearch
Delicious sandwiches, great hot soups for lunch on a cold Boston day, and the best Chocolate Chip cookie around! And I've tried all of them in the South End.
I've always found the staff, and particularly the owners to be great. Friendly and willing to go the extra step.
Good looking selection of sandwiches if you judge by the menu. But the baguette bread was hard... and ingredients/taste so so. Nothing special or worthy of prices. The seating is cramped and small. Probably more of a take/out or breakfast stop.Like this review?Yes|Flag AbuseProvided by Citysearch
Reading the previous reviews, I have to believe they were written by competitors! I have been a loyal patron for 5 years -- the coffee is always delicious, the pastries always fresh (some with gourmet twists like ginger peach, or fresh apple muffins with a cinnamon dusting).

Henna is an alternative hair dye for people who don't want to use chemical treatments on their hair. Apply henna to your hair using henna powder and a few supplies.Know More
Apply henna to your hair with henna powder, lemon juice, water and plastic gloves. You also use a measuring cup, spoon, bowl, cloth towels, paper towels, saran wrap or a plastic shower cap, hair clips, petroleum jelly and latex gloves.
Measure 1 cup of henna powder and 1 cup of lemon juice. Mix the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and let stand for at least 12 hours. Keep the temperature of the mixture as close to 70 degrees Fahrenheit as possible.
Add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of water to the henna and lemon juice mixture. Add the water slowly and stir with a spoon. Make a mixture with the consistency of yogurt. Let the mixture sit for 12 hours.
Wrap an old towel around your shoulders and secure it with a clip. Apply a light coat of petroleum jelly on your forehead and temples at your hairline to prevent your skin from being stained by the henna.
Divide your hair into small sections. Leave one section free, and secure the remaining sections with hair clips.
Put on latex gloves to protect your fingers. Scoop a bit of henna paste onto your fingers and apply it to your hair. Work with one section at a time. Thoroughly cover each strand of hair in the section, and secure that section with a hair clip. Remove the clip from the next section of your hair and apply the henna paste. Continue until all of your hair is saturated with henna.
Wrap your head with saran wrap or cover it with a plastic shower cap. Leave the paste on your hair for up to 60 minutes for the most intense color. Keep your hair warm by blow drying it through the plastic wrap or cap. Henna works best when it is warm.
Remove the plastic wrap or cap from your hair. Rinse the henna paste from your hair. Apply conditioner to your hair and leave it on for five to 10 minutes. Rinse the conditioner from your hair.
Wait for the color to tone down. Henna is bright for one to two days immediately after dying. The color tones down with washing.
Stephanie Kaloi of Offbeat Home & Life suggests applying henna with protective gloves because it stains skin. To apply henna, divide the hair into small sections, and then put a very thick layer of henna in each section. After applying the henna, wrap the head in plastic wrap and wait one to four hours before washing it out.Full Answer >
It is best to wait at least 4 weeks in between dyeing a person's hair, but those people with weaker hair should wait at least 6 or 7 weeks in between dye jobs. For those people who want to make sure that their hair will not be damaged in any way, it is best to wait a minimum of 6 weeks to ensure that there will not be any damage.Full Answer >
There is no hard and fast rule for how long to avoid swimming after dyeing hair, but people must protect their hair from the chemicals in the pool. It is also important to protect the hair from the sun.Full Answer >
Henna is a centuries-old art form that temporarily dyes skin a dark brown-red color. Its effects can last for up to two weeks depending on your skin tone. There are effective steps that can be taken to speed up the fading process of henna.Full Answer >

We looked back at the bad actors on Wall Street and Capital Hill who caused the crash. These are the worst of them: http://ow.ly/LaSFf
The U.S. Treasury has accumulated $17.8 trillion worth of debt as of Sept. 30, 2014. That's roughly 103% of the U.S. GDP in 2014, according to the GAO. About one-third of that debt – $6.1 trillion – is owned by foreign governments.
This means nations like China now hold the power to drastically affect interest rates.
"A foreign sell-off of U.S. securities could drive up U.S. interest rates and render the nation's formidable stock of debt far more expensive to service…No one knows in advance when the tipping point will be reached, but the damage brought about by higher interest rates and slower economic growth will be readily apparent afterward." ~ Nonpartisan think tank The Council on Foreign Relations.
Foreign ownership of U.S. debt is only one of the five catalysts that could ultimately cause our economy to collapse. Learn about the other four here: http://pro1.moneymappress.com/351082/

Brian Forrester, the University of Akron Throws Coach, shows you a drill that takes all of the concepts and drills, and combines them to challenge the athlete. Coach Forrester explains that the more advanced the athlete, the more advanced the drill can be.
Setup: The athlete starts in the beginning position for the shot put in the ring. The coach tells the athlete a specific position or drill. The athlete listens to the coach, and quickly accomplishes the drill. This is a good drill to simulate the reaction time a thrower has in competition.
This video came from Championship Productions' DVD The Big Throws System. To view more track & field videos from America's top coaches and athletes, click here.
Nationally recognized throwing coach Larry Judge shows you two variations of a common shot training drill used to address the lack of flexibility in the torso. Coach Judge talks you through the drill and rational for performing the drill with coaching points and detailed instructions.
Athletes complete the drill first using a bungee cord and then with a partner only. This drill can be used during any stage of the season and along with the many other drills included give the coach yet another tool in the box to help their athletes perform at higher levels than before.

Review: Ouya brings indie games to your TV
This photo provided by Ouya shows an Ouya, the Android-based video game console that aims to challenge the dominance of the Xboxes, Nintendos and PlayStations of the world. The console goes on sale Tuesday, June 25, 2013. (AP Photo/Ouya)
The ongoing explosion in independently developed, low-budget video games has been a boon for players who travel. Whether I'm on the road with an iPad, an Android smartphone or a laptop, I know there's a huge library of games to play.
When I get home, though, I want to play on a bigger screen. That's where the Ouya comes in. It promises to deliver the best in inexpensive indie gaming on a high-resolution screen, through a small device that runs the Android operating system designed for phones and tablets.
Ouya costs just $100 — a few hundred dollars less than what you'd pay for a major game console. Thousands of gamers and game developers got Ouyas over the past few months after contributing at least $95 to Ouya's creators through the group-fundraising site Kickstarter. The device went on sale more broadly on Tuesday.
Ouya runs Google's Android system and is built around Nvidia's Tegra 3 processor, used mostly in smartphones and other mobile devices. That should make it easy to port over the thousands of games already made for Android phones and tablets, but for now you're limited to software specifically designed for Ouya. Nearly 180 games are available so far through Ouya's online store, with many more expected.
Each game has a version you can download for free. If you like what you see, you can download a full version for a few bucks. By contrast, games for one of the big three consoles can cost as much as $60 each — usually with no free trial.
The device itself is a cube measuring 3 inches on each side, with slightly rounded corners on the bottom. The controller is a bit chunkier. It resembles what's available with Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PlayStation, with two exceptions: The Ouya controller has a touchpad in the middle (although none of the games I sampled took advantage of it), and its grips are longer, each accommodating an AA battery. One controller comes with the Ouya, and extra ones cost $50 each.
Setup is easy once you connect the Ouya to your high-definition television set using a supplied HDMI cable. When you turn on the console, it automatically searches for Wi-Fi connections. You can also connect to the Internet through an Ethernet cable, which you have to provide yourself. Once connected, you need to create an account and supply credit card information.
Then you're taken to a simple menu with four options: play, discover, make and manage. "Make" takes you to an area for potential game developers, while "manage" lets you tinker with system settings.
"Discover" takes you to Ouya's game store. You can find games by genre, such as role-playing, sim/strategy and "meditative." You can also check out showcases such as "couch gaming with friends."
Download speeds aren't bad; it took about 20 minutes for me to transfer a 725-megabyte file over Comcast high-speed Internet. Smaller games are, of course, much faster. The device has 8 gigabytes of internal storage, and you can add more by connecting an external hard drive to the Ouya with a USB cable.
Once you have your game, clicking "play" on the home page takes you to your personal library. Compared with the sometimes daunting menus on the Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3, Ouya's displays are clean and elegant.
The offerings on the Ouya store vary wildly in quality and ambition. Android is an open platform, so anyone can write software for it. That means you have professionally executed games such as the beloved "You Don't Know Jack" competing head-to-head with the sloppy trivia game "Quizania." Some popular console games, including "The Bard's Tale" and "Final Fantasy III," have been adapted for the Ouya, but it isn't the place for blockbuster titles such as the latest "Call of Duty" and "Grand Theft Auto."

Jeff Garzik
Jeff Garzik is a futurist, entrepreneur and software engineer. Jeff founded and runs Dunvegan Space
Systems, and works as a bitcoin core developer with BitPay. Jeff serves on the board of Coin Center, and the advisory board of Chain.com and WayPaver Labs. Jeff has delivered presentations on bitcoin and blockchain at TEDx, State of Digital Money, many bitcoin conferences, as well as private briefings to corporations, governments, central banks, and hedge funds.
Jeff has a long history of early technology adoption. After helping to inaugurate CNN.com on the Internet in the early 1990s, he worked for a succession of Internet startups and service providers. At the same time, he worked continuously on open source software engineering projects for over two decades.
Involvement in one of the best known open source projects – the Linux kernel – led to an extended tenure at Linux leader Red Hat during open source's most formative years. Jeff's work is found in every Android phone and data center Linux installation today.
In July 2010, Jeff stumbled across a post describing bitcoin. Immediately recognizing the potential of a concept previously thought impossible — decentralized digital money, he did what came naturally: developed bitcoin open source software. That gave rise to the start of micro-businesses with bitcoin at their foundation. Almost by accident, Jeff found himself at the heart of the global, revolutionary, technology phenomenon known as bitcoin.
Bitcoin and blockchain served as a springboard for many new ideas and ventures, including sending objects into outer space.

Minnesota has 3 wins against Colo St, Ohio and Kent St, all by 3 points. A 27-0 loss to NW (who's also behind them) and a close loss to TCU. They have OSU as a 3 point favorite at home. If that game was this week, I'd add at least 14 points to the line.
MSU is #34, which is good for 9th in the Big Ten.
Maybe late in the year, their predictions may line up with Vegas lines. For now, I don't believe they're anywhere close.

|I don't think we actually know what weaknesses this defense
has. The opposite side corners have been tested and look just fine. We've played a ton of dime and no one in the secondary has been exposed. Going into the season, we probably would have said secondary depth and the pass rush were the main weaknesses. This defense may not be elite, but they've played like they are since the first game. And they only gave up 17 points to a very good team on the road even then.

|I understand, but I think there's something inherently
inaccurate about any system that counts some games dramatically more than others, without being directly tied to the strength of the opponent. I understand that they do it for everyone, which mitgates the effect somewhat.
Another way to look at it is those extra drives against BYU did exist. They're choosing not to count them because of the situation, but if we did poorly on them or on special teams, they would have started counting our drives again. Rather than using the same calculations on those missing drives, they could factor in a multiplier for the drives they did count. If there were say 20 drives, but they only count 10, they could multiply those ten by 1.5. That still weights the game less than average, but not drastically. A number like that probably doen't skew the stats in the opposite way, while simply doubling them might.
Alternatively, they could a set a maximum and minimum that each game can count towards a team's total. Is there a reason not to add an adjusted measurement to the one the do now? They already tinker with it to make it more accurate.
|1 week 8 hours ago
|Doesn't that lead to the numbers being skewed in another way?.
They would be counting very few of of our drives vs BYU, therefore giving the game as a whole less weight than the others. I would think they should make an adjustment to the value of individual drives based on how much they were above or below the average number. Maybe they do, but I couldn't find any reference to it.

|I've heard that argument before, but I don't buy it.
Sure, it's more important for a 6'10" OT to be able to get low. But that's important anyway. If a couple of inches were so critical for getting leverage, wouldn't defenses just use shorter DEs? Instead, you hear the same assessments, this guy is too short to play DE in the NFL. They want them to be 6'6". The truth is that there are very few 6'10" football players. That's why we see very few in the NFL If this were a country full of 7 footers, plenty would play in the NFL.
The NBA puts a lot of value on size at the PG now. Every team would rather have a 6'6" PG, than a short one. I don't think your argument makes a lot of sense. There's a very large pool of players 6'3" and under. There are limited positions they can play since size is such a big advantage. PGs aren't small because they have some inherent advantage. Smaller players become PGs because it's their best chance to play at a high level. Many of their skills are less related to size. There are so many players that some are going to be really good.

I don't know much about loggers or fishermen, but I come from a family of miners. Much has been done to make those jobs less hazardous here. In contrast to China.
We're paying players (or offering a free education) just to entertain us. And collectively, we're in favor of changes to make the sport safer, unless they change the game in any way that may make it less entertaining.

|There is a big difference.
People aren't being paid to take those risks in any of the examples you cite. That's different from choosing whether to accept what may well be the only high paying job available.
If someone offered a $1M purse for fights to the death, they'd find takers. Societies do limit what risks we encourage others to take. There should be a different standard on those than the ones people take completely on their own.
|2 weeks 2 days ago
|It's foolish to say the players were fully aware
of the risks. These studies are just now coming out. Sure, players were aware there were risks, but for the most part, nobody knew what they all were. The league is still downplaying the risks. So is CFB. Improving concussion protocols has been their most recent response.
The problem goes beyond NFL players, too. They aren't first choosing to accept these risks when they join the NFL. That starts when they are still children. Does anyone believe the results of these studies are included in consent forms? People have to do their own research in an area that's evolving and firm conclusions haven't been settled.

|I think it's a joke that it's legal, while online poker is not.
The argumnts advanced for why gambling on fantasy sports should be legal were based on traditional season long pools. They are much weaker with regards to the weeky pools they advertise endlessly. Some ads highlight how easy it is and downplay that any skill is needed to win big. This kind of nvestigation was inevitable. Hopefully it leads to a reexamination of the ill founded ban on poker.

|Some unanswered questions, but I'd like to add one.
When did the prior relationship with the recruiting hostess start? On his recruting trip?
|2 weeks 5 days ago
|I think that would have been the smartest move for Rutgers.
That being said, his punishment fits the offense. If things were going well they would never fire him for that one violation. He could certainly argue against a termination for cause.

|Does Kapernick run well enough to be a high level RB?

|Kansas basketball has had a program along those lines.
I'm not sure how they've gotten away with it. Hollowell's case is obviously different. He's trying to raise money on his own, not relying on promises made to him by the school or boosters. It's certainly within the rules for boosters to contribute, just as it would be to hire him.

|Those games would be interesting, but I like having rivalries.
It's too bad we can't play some of those southern schools later in the year. not just to force them to play in the cold, but to avoid the sweltering weather down there.

|They also let Miami slip away because of
overzealous enforcement staff. They have a history of working harder to investigate the big schools and I don't think there's any pattern of punishing small schools more harshly for similar offenses.
It's a shame that they let Youngstown State investigate itself when there were allegations against Tressel. They would not have done that at a major school. Of course, Tressel made sure nothing came of their internal investigation. By the time the charges were corroborated, the statute of limitations had passed. Tressel might never have gotten hired by OSU otherwise.

I don't know why he's quitting now, but it looks like a very bad decision for his football career. He played in UCLA's first game. He's going to sit out this season and redshirt next season unless the NCAA grants some sort of hardship request. Maybe he can argue he shouldn't have played because of mono, but I doubt it would work.

|I don't think you can argue Pocic was passed up

You're right about Samuelson. I don't think any of us know for sure if Skipper or Hunt would have come here if he didn't. Hunt came in on a visit, but wanted to take more trips. He had a chance to commit first.
