We recently posted an article on the current shift to tablet browsing's impacts on web design. This is a major shift for the technology industry, but also for web designers who are now being encouraged to consider the tablet platform for compatibility. However, at the same time, there's another shift going on: a transition from mouse-centric interfaces to ones oriented towards apps.
A web app is, to put it simply, an application that relies on an internet connection in order to function. Nothing is stored locally and it's all up in the cloud. There's a number of advantages with this: everything is accessible everywhere, there's little performance worry, hard drive failure does not mean loss of work and most are cross-platform. Therefore, to application developers, this is an attractive proposition that could mean apps are available to a wider segment of their potential audience.
There is a distinct difference between a web app and a website. However, that debate is not the topic of the article. Instead, we'll be looking at another shift in web design as app-centric, multi-platform design becomes a lot more popular and everything from navigation to forms are affected.
Emphasis on Important Elements & Entry Points
This is, perhaps, the biggest significance in this shift. The case with any app is that it needs to be as simple as possible in order to not over-frustrate a user. Yet, every app has an aim and an objective to achieve following a user's interaction. Therefore, web apps need to concentrate on the key functions a lot more than a conventional website.
This emphasis is apparent not only within web apps themselves, but also their splash pages prior to a login. If we take Facebook as an example, the biggest section of the page is the registration form because that's what the primary page is meant to do: gain more users.
There's also a secondary, user-oriented spin on this theory. For example, if someone is filling in a form on the webpage, there's a low chance they will want to reset that form. The chance of them spelling their name right first time round is bigger and therefore, there should be a bigger emphasis on the submission button.
ThemeForest's sign-in form features quite a large submission button as this is the action most users will want to take. However, there are also the "Forgot Password/Username" links for those that need them, but these are smaller.
This idea is a strain of visual hierarchy in that the main objective of a specific webpage is the most prominent and noticeable element on that page.
Native-Looking Interfaces
Another consequence is a rise in a particular design style of web apps themselves. Have you ever encountered a website that looks like it should belong to your dock (or Start Menu if you're on Windows)? Well, there's quite a few examples that make a web app seem native across platforms in an elegant way through the use of a variety of nice gradients and shadows.
Not only is this evident in web apps aimed at desktop use, but also in mobile. A lot of smaller developers opt to create mobile web applications over native apps to save on costs and learning curves. Not only does this method work with creating original web apps, but also themeing popular ones such as WordPress (as this MobileTuts+ session describes).
Context and Secondary Level Navigation
Show the user what he needs, not everything he doesn't.
There used to be a time whereby, should you want to perform an action in a complex web app, you'd have to scroll around and go through several different "levels" before achieving such a thing. However, with context-specific navigation, this process is a lot simpler. The general theory behind it is that a user doesn't require access to every option at every time and that only ones relevant to his/her current situation should be shown.
This kind of scenario-specific navigation is generally achieved through the use of second level navigation. The nearest non-web-based analogy I can come up with is towards Microsoft Office and how it uses a ribbon layout for usability. Key sections are titled and upon a simple mouse click, all the options relevant show up.
A simple way of summing this up is to show the user what he needs, not everything he doesn't. And this same context-based theory can be applied to other elements such as pop-up modal boxes that display elements only required should the user want it.
Shadows, Gradients and Opacity
This seems like a bit of a come down from the topics we've discussed previously, but these three elements can have a big impact on a web design. Adding shadows to a button, for example, make's it popout and almost come off as a design that is no longer flat.
Consider then adding shadows to a modal window and look at how it creates a sense of definition between the original content and the new frame. Just that can make a website look more interactive as it becomes multi-layer like a native app. Then consider the effects as content changes opacity under different circumstances to create an overall new dimension to the content itself.
Opting for gradients can also have a lasting impact on a final design. Just as gradients build up, the design just "pops" more and seems 3D when used in unison with inner shadowing.
Custom Buttons and Controls
Since a web application is meant to act like a piece of software running locally, a sense of everything working together is paramount. And the primary way developers can communicate this sense is through design. I would challenge you to find me a web application that's entire user interface is built up with pure stock HTML elements with no custom styling.
You can't? No surprise there! The fact is, web designs are meant to have a consistent styling throughout and in web apps, the use of controls and input areas are big elements to consider. Something as simple as adding a custom background colour and overwriting the border of a submission button can make a huge impact in the unity of your design.
Notice in the GMail screenshot how just the styling of the key drop down menus and buttons "just fit in" with the overall design. Oh and yes, I do have an order shipping from the Angry Birds store! ;P
Restyling stock elements is one thing, but creating new ones is even better. Take MyBankTracker as an example who use a custom slider that still fits in with their overall white and blue design.
Some Advice: Keep. It. Simple.
Whilst researching some alternative perspective on web app design, I found an interesting quote from now-former Microsoft Office marketing exec, Chris Capossela where he said something along the lines of: "When we asked [what features users wanted in] Office, nine times out of ten, they named something already in the product; they just couldnÕt find it". This kind of links back to the whole situation-optimized navigation idea.
When we asked [what features users wanted in] Office, nine times out of ten, they named something already in the product; they just couldnÕt find it.
The fact is, if you try to cram a lot of features into a small space, each feature becomes less significant. And the user is going to spend a lot longer looking for the feature they want. And the user is going to get frustrated. And the user is going to leave. You don't want this. To put this into better perspective, try reducing your display's resolution to the smallest possible and launch the most UI-intensive application you have installed. Try and use it and you'll catch my drift thereafter.
A further suggestion is to listen to your users, but not by too much. As users request more and more features, you may become inclined to just throw new options here and there.
Three App Design Mistakes
Moving away from what you should/can use, let's go over just three important things you shouldn't do when working on an app-centric UI.
Changing Stock GUI Elements
Imagine meeting someone in the street. You ask them where the nearest Starbucks is and they respond in a different language. You seem to pickup on a word you perceive to be a cognate, but that turns out to be wrong and it has a completly warped meaning. This sounds somewhat long winded for an anology, but the point i'm trying to stress is that you might percieve something because of your natural tongue but the designer could be aiming at something completely different. For example, if you generate your headings to look like buttons, the user might try and click on it, thinking it's part of the web app and may continue to get frustrated at it's lack of function and confusing experience.
Offering No Feedback
My first post here at WebDesignTuts+ discussed form validation and it's importance to users. As a user, i'd like to know what i'm doing wrong if I can't work your app and it's always advisable to build space in for feedback from the start.
Design inconsistency is a frustrating experience as, just as a user get's used to one way of doing things, they are confronted with another. A very simple example is on Expedia where the departing and returning calendar switch months as you select one date.
Six Examples of App-Inspired Design
Here's a short list of six websites and web applications that clearly demonstrate some of the design principles we've discussed in this article from native app design to key emphasis.
Apple Retail Modals
In Conclusion
To sum up this article, there's a clear influence on the web from traditional, native applications. However, every design decision that involves web apps stem down to usability. Applications need to be simple, they need to have emphasis on the key functions so a user passes through the site with ease.
And the use of elements and techniques normally limited to native apps are already seeping through into mainstream web usage as is evident through the shadows, gradients and opacity trio we mentioned earlier.

- Of all the holidays of the year, the Japanese celebrate New Year's Day the best. Mothers sometimes spend a week preparing for the feast to be eaten New Year's Eve. Sons and daughters working or studying in the cities return home. The family is complete from grandparents to grandchildren. While waiting for the clock to strike midnight, everyone enjoys the food and talks to one another while watching the special programs on television. After the bells of New Year have rung, the whole family heads off to the nearest shrine to pray for a bright year ahead.

A fugitive who's been on the run for more than a month was arrested Tuesday evening in Knoxville.
The U.S. Marshals Service announced they took 55-year-old Dewyatt Allen Hill into custody around 7:30 p.m. at a trailer park on Clinton Highway.
He was facing a 71-year sentence for pharmacy robberies, and authorities considered him armed and dangerous.
Jailers in Blount County mistakenly allowed the federal inmate to walk free on July 18.
In a report over the weekend, the sheriff's office blamed both human and policy errors, but noted no one at the jail would be disciplined.
According to the sheriff's office, a "hold" on Hill was never filed or logged into the computer. That partially led to the release.
Jail personnel must now follow three new policies, including filing "hold" information immediately, and a supervisor must authorize each release.
Hill was arrested by Deputy U.S. Marshals and local officers without incident.

text: INTRODUCTIONDear Brothers and Sisters,Today we acknowledge that Jesus Christ is King and Lord of the universe. He is the personal Lord of our life and it is his 'love one another as I have loved you' which inspires our communication and deeds for others.We are united today with many friends of Centacare to thank God for the blessings of this particular work and to pray for its continued outreach of love and compassion into the hearts of the people of Melbourne. HOMILYDear Brothers and Sisters,In the Gospel we have just read Pilate asks Jesus: "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus affirms the truth and yet he is much more. He is the King of the universe, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. He is the personal Lord of the life of every one who believes in him.As we progress through life we remember that in baptism we have been incorporated into Christ. We are Christians. Gradually, little by little, we come to know the faith that has been handed on to us and make it personal and living. To me Jesus is not only a God out there in the universe. He is almighty and eternal, but he is the personal Lord and Saviour of my life.Each of us knows that God showed so much love and mercy by sending us Jesus that suddenly we would begin to understand how real and attractive God's love is. More than that, taking on the deepest limitations Jesus went to give himself up to death. Before he did that he gave us the great gift of himself in the Eucharist, where under the veil of bread and wine our God again, today, is present among us, offered to the Father, received by priests and people in Holy Communion.The Mass for us is an awesome encounter with a God who understands and loves us and who invites our love and imitation. In response to the question of Pilate: "Who are you?" we might ask ourselves another question. Who is Jesus Christ to us? Is he Lord of our life? Does he direct our actions, guide us according to his truth, challenge us when we waver, give us comfort and consolation when we are uncertain, and make us life in the hope of the glory of which this Eucharist is the pledge? Who is Jesus to us? I can lovingly say he is a real person to whom I can talk in prayer, to whom I listen in my quiet moments, the world's greatest teacher and leader, the compassionate God who understands me when I fail and forgives me in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.May this Jesus, who is Christ the King, breaking the power of evil, the faithful witness, the alpha and omega, the one who has come in the name of the Lord to save each of us. Jesus, take possession of our life, give us hope and strength to continue our journey until we meet with you, not only through the sacramental signs of bread and wine, but in the glorious reality of eternity in that place which God has prepared for those who love him.+ Denis J. HartARCHBISHOP OF MELBOURNE.

This past weekend was a bit of a special one for me: my dad came here to visit me.
He's been to New York only twice before, and he didn't even get out of the car the first time, so I don't think that really counts. He isn't the type to clamor to see the touristy places in Manhattan he hears about on television, so I took him to my Brooklyn.
My Brooklyn included a trip to Longbow – dinner, a couple of pints, and a growler refilled with London Pride.
My dad once wrote a book on shooting pool, so I took him to Status Q, even though I've only shot pool once in the past eight years. I went 0-for-3 against him, though not as horribly as you might think – I don't play, but I still remember what my dad taught me.
I took him to Papacitos in Greenpoint, once the site of a particularly nice Cinco de Mayo celebration of Mexican food & drink excess for me, topped off with an ice cream cone and a walk to the new Transmitter Park.
I took him to the Greek Cultural Festival at Holy Cross for a gyro and a Marathon beer, and took a walk around the neighborhood afterwards. (You there, with the 1951 Triumph motorcycle – you made my dad's day.)
And I took him to Coney Island to pick up my son, where all three of the Hedden boys could take a stroll down the Boardwalk and Steeplechase Pier.
Here he is enjoying the view of the harbor towards the end of the weekend.

Sechew Powell Making Play To Be Tops At 154 |
Written by John Nguyen | |||
Sunday, 20 April 2008 19:00 | |||
The current scene in the junior middleweight division is about as open as it gets. With upsets occurring regularly (just ask Roman Karmazin, Cory Spinks, and Kassim Ouma), older fighters atop the division, and a plethora of young lions vying for supremacy, the result is a weight class without a true kingpin. The question is, who exactly is the right man for the job? With a division in such a state of flux, it would seem that the most dominant fighter could be any of several applicants. However, one fighter seems to be left out of the equation, but with little reason. Sechew "Ironhorse" Powell appears to be the forgotten man at 154, which is puzzling considering his credentials. In a recent conversation with Powell, he was both candid and confident in assessing the state of the division.

sarceN, unlike Necras, used a sword. He blocked all of Necras's bullets but was hit by Ernest's Cross Bow arrow. "Your gonna have to do better than that." sarceN said before pulling a dick move and rushing at Alice.
sarceN ran through the flames and continued running at her until. "BONK!!!!" A random voice said. sarceN was hit in the mouth and stumbled back a little. "Dammit, first scorching hit then a punh-" s'sarceN sentence was cut short as the person that had hit him hit him again. "Right in the kisser? Although I doubt youve actually ever kissed someone." The person said. "Wolfy! Long time, no see." Necras said as he greeted his friend before Wolfy stomped his foot. "I spent three hundred years in Hell being tortured after you ran away. Dont think we are still buddy, buddy!" Wolfy responded.
"Necras, how did you get stuck with kids?" Wolfy asked. "Their chosen ones!" Necras said with an optimistic smile dance.
(Mind you, Wolfy looks eighteen but is much older)
Wolfy's eye twitched. "Necras, despite how smart you are. YOUR A DUMBASS!!!" Wolfy yelled at him before smacking Necras's head.
Selethya just watched quietly from the sidelines as wolfy jumped in and started chatting with Necras, she didnt really know what to do nore did she feel useful she he just continued to watch, blinking when wolfy hit Necras
sarceN tried to get up but Necras turned around immediately and grabbed him by the collar. "O Hai sarceN! How are you feeling?" Necras asked. "NO! NO! DONT LET THEM TAKE ME! DONT LET THEM TAKE- BAM!" Necras shot sarceN in the back of the head before he could finish. "Idiot didnt know what was coming. So Wolfy, anybody else escape?" Necras asked. "Yea, they should be up after they get rid of whats left of Hell."

She took a step back as it stepped forward, and then growled at it as her back hit the alley wall behind her. "You'll make a fine slave for Satan's army," the "man" grinned. Rylee bared her teeth. "Satan's dead." The doll's grin grew wider.

A special soap for this special time
This bath gel is specially formulated for us pregnant mother-to-be - not quite sure why it can't be used in the first trimester as it is completely pure and natural, but who am I to argue with these instructions. It has a light, pleasant citrus smell which really appeals to me, and doesn't trigger my nausea button (so many smells do these days). It's a lovely pampering cleansing lotion that makes me feel special and pretty, even though I also feel like a beached whale! It doesn't bubble up too much, but that's okay with me as it still cleans and doesn't required extensive rinse-off. It feels luxurious on my skin - just the word "elixir" elevates this shower gel in my mind and spirit. I'll probably continue to use it long after I've given birth.
Directions for use
Shake well. Pour a small amount of elixir onto a washcloth or into the palm of your hands and gently lather the whole body. Not recommended during the first trimester. External use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Please discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Aqua (water), coco betaine, lauryl glucoside, vegetable triglycerides, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange oil)*, citrus nobilis (mandarin oil)*, citrus aurantium amara (pettigrain oil)*, glyceryl mono stearate, yucca vera (yucca extract), sorbic acid, benzoic acid, benzyl alcohol, limonene

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
Featuing voices of: Will Ferrel, Tina Fey, Brad Pitt, David Cross, Jonah Hill
Director: Tom McGrath
Main character that looks like smurf with elephantiasis of the head? Ok
Dreamworks, I'll roll with you. You did give me Kung-fu Panda and
Monsters vs Aliens. Now you've once again fart out another passable
animated comedy with a star studded cast for the fall season. Enjoyable
in its familiarity, but its impressive effects and A-list cast are just
hiding the fact that Megamind picked the pockets of several other movies
before it.
Before his planet is destroyed a young alien boy is sent to Earth (Superman) Also a neighboring planet has sent
one of there kids to earth as well. Which begs the question, if there
are other planets with aliens that look like us, why send the to this
crappy rock. If there were an intergalactic community I fell like Earth
would be like the eastern Europe of the universe. Don't go there unless
you know someone, but I digress. So these to aliens become rivals
(that's from Despicable Me) Then the bad guy becomes the good guy (Darth
Vader? The Grinch? anyone? Bueller?) There are some laughs, and the 3D
is good but not groundbreaking, and then the credits roll and you leave
the theater satisfied but you could have gone for a little more.
What I liked most about this movie was the complete and utter satire of the superhero genre. The death rays, corny
banter between rivals, Will Ferrel give delivers a killer c@#kpunch with
his Marlon Brando impression. I wasn't pissing my pants but it did make
me chuckle. When I saw the trailer I thought it would be garbage, but
it more than exceeded expectations, and yet it could have been so much
more. That being said it gave Due Date an ass whipping in the box office
pulling in $17.3 million more for a grand total of $46 million. I guess
Zach Galifanakas' beard isn't funny anymore.
Final Score: 3/5

(Edited April 02nd by somehobbit) It looks like spartantech.com builds their "business model" around selling crappy incompatible no-name memory chips and charging "re-stocking" fee (15% of purchase price) when you return an item. I've lost 25% (re-stocking + shipping back) and ended up with buying a known brand that worked just fine with my motherboard. A complete waste of time and money. When you try to dispute the fee, they tell you that "re-stocking" and possible incompatibility are in their disclosure, so they are covered and you're duped. The problem with memory is that you never know for sure if it will work. Known motherboard manufacturers have no idea who "spartantech" is, so you're very much on your own when buying products like that. Honest sellers understand that and refund in full when memory is incompatible, but spartantech.com decided to benefit from that. Really, why selling good product? Sell crap and charge re-stocking fee instead. |

This has been the worst experience I have ever had with an online merchant. The item was shipped late in the first place and arrived over a week later then it should have (25 days in transit total) because of improper packaging (two small) which caused the box to get wedged under a piece of sorting equipment and then lost on the back of a USPS truck. Spartan offered no assistance in contacting the shipper and locating the lost package and showed no indifference to my situation. In my opinion they showed a complete lack of professionalism in almost every step of the process. I spent over 17 hours standing in lines and on the phone with USPS hunting down my package. When the package finally did arrive, the parts didn't even work. I RMAed it the same day I got it, and after almost a month I still have not received a refund. This has turned into an nightmare that continues to cost me time and money and is now being escalated to outside authorities. I will not use Spartan again... ever. |

They sell used parts and system pulls-sometimes mentioned prominently and sometimes not. Their sales reps will sometimes tell you things that turn out to be not true. Prices are decent but shipping and handling are high. I had to RMA an item. Received notice after a week my refund was being processed. Waited 10 business days and no refund. Called and it had been cancelled for some reason. They said they would run it through again. |

Their website indicated the product was in stock, however I never received an email shipping confirmation, so I had to call to get a status. They said their vendor did not supply enough of the product (i only purchased one) and the order was on back order (however the status for the product online still said "In Stock"). I called again a week later, and was told it was supposed to be shipped the day before, but the rep could not tell me why it had not shipped. I requested for my shipping to be upgraded, as I should have already received the package, I was told I would receive 2nd day shipping and an email confirmation. I never received a confirmation and had to call again. I was given the tracking number, but their warehouse messed up and gave me First Class shipping. Product arrived 3 days later (instead of two). Great product, but need to improve on communication with customers, and shipping standards. |

The Task Force promotes knowledge among health care workers and the public on infertility induced by treatment of gynaecologic cancers through national and international collaboration among Oncologists, Reproductive Specialists, and Allied Health Workers to promote research, education and to develop new strategies of fertility preservation.
The Task Force's initial objectives will focus on fertility preservation in all gynaecologic cancers in which fertility preservation techniques should be offered to patients. As a cooperating counterpart to the frequently used techniques of reproductive medicine (e.g. cryopreservation of ovarian tissue and oocytes), this task force will mainly focus on the feasibility and safety of fertility preservation techniques, including conservative medical management of endometrial cancer and surgical procedures maintaining fertility (e.g. trachelectomy in cervical cancer).
The main activities within the next two years are establishing networks and cooperation with regional and supra-regional groups in order to increase public awareness and optimise fertility preservation techniques. It will do so by evaluating current available evidence and consecutively establishing evidence-based guidelines. A special session on Fertility Preservation was held during the ESGO16 2009 Meeting.

Teaching and Learning: What does Technology Have to Do with It? Ray Schroeder
When most people think about teaching and learning, they conjure up images of classroom engagement between student and faculty member using a black or white board; reading books; taking notes on paper; and typing papers. Each of these images involves technologies: blackboards; whiteboards; books; pen and paper; typewriter or computer. Technology tools have always been a part of the teaching and learning process. From pre-history to today, they are integral to the way in which humans store information and help to build knowledge. From drawings on cave walls to cuneiform tablets, the leaps in technology afforded significant benefits. Cavemen (and women) drew and scratched on cave walls, in part to illustrate concepts and techniques. Those cave walls were not "mobile" technologies. As civilization evolved, "mobile-learning" technologies came about. I can only suppose that the clay cuneiform tablets dating back six millennia were used by Sumerians to teach and learn. But, those tablets certainly must have been awkward, heavy, and required time for the clay to dry (or be fired for a more permanent record). Over time, the clay cuneiform tablets were replaced by the equivalent of the iPod - the new technology of papyrus, which was much lighter and on which the ink dried instantly. Later, there were erasable wax tablets followed by a continuous stream of ever-evolving, ever-improving technologies. Imagine the burden on the teachers of shifting from clay to papyrus; from papyrus to wax. A busy teacher would hardly have the time to learn how to best use the new technology and what advantages it afforded to students. Becoming facile with the stylus was hard enough, but then having to learn to use a pen was just over the top! And, building the infrastructure to supply the ink and replacement pens, let alone sheaves of papyrus must have seemed insurmountable! From the very beginnings of civilization, technology has had a central communication role in facilitating information transfer and knowledge-building. Certainly, this is no more true than today. We are confronted with an accelerating array of new technologies. Many of these provide significant enhancements to information exchange, retention of data, and the building of knowledge. And, the same is true with the new technologies of today. The challenge remains in finding ways to most efficiently teach technology to the teachers so that they can best use these new technologies to do their work better. Just as we teach our students in groups - thereby drawing upon the collective wisdom and the range of questions of the diverse group of learners - there are advantages to teach the teachers in groups. The diversity of the group can create a fertile ground to grow broader and deeper understandings of how the technologies might best be used. That is the principle underlying our approach to Sloan-C workshops. Learning together, we will build greater knowledge and support networks as we move beyond the cuneiform to Web 2.0. (Join Sloan-C in our online workshop- Technology Bootcamp - February 6 to March 7. Burks Oakley II and Ray Schroeder of the University of Illinois and John Bourne of Sloan-C will host.)
Evolving Student Services Naj Shaik, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Education is a service, and students are the prime focus of the institution. Education services constitute core and supporting services. Teaching and learning that occur in the class are examples of core services because they are critical to a successful learning experience. A number of supporting services include real-time information about courses, student advising, online registration, orientation, student accounts, help-desk, complaint handling, and feedback in a friendly, trustworthy and timely manner. Students regularly come into contact with staff associated with these services during their stay at the institution. These services create added value for student and determine the quality of their learning experience. According to the recent Sloan survey of online education, Online Nation: Five Years of Growth in Online Learning, there has been a substantial growth in online learning and that the demand is expected to continue. In the past, educational institutions have addressed the issue of student support services by establishing and maintaining facilities and personnel integrated into the campus environment. The focus has been mostly campus-based students. With the growing enrollment of distance learning student community on the campuses there has been a gradual evolution of student services to meet the needs of online distance learners. Many academic institutions started with extending the campus-based student services to online distance learners by implementing Student Relationship Management (SRM) to provide services to improve student relationships. Even though enrollments in online and distance learning programs have been growing at a relatively faster rate than campus programs, and they are expected to continue growing, few academic institutions offer services to non-traditional students that are on par with campus-based student services. Institutions market themselves as student focused, but in reality most SRMs are designed to focus on products rather than on students. Institutions need to better engage students with collaborative learning experiences, empowering students and making them feel they are an integral component of the value-creation process. The merging of Web 2.0 technologies with SOA (service-oriented architecture) provides opportunities to develop faster, cheaper and more flexible student centered services to meet the needs of all students. One of the strategies available to the institution is to leverage the social dimension of Web 2.0, harnessing the collective power of students to custom design services using technologies such as blogs to syndicate their posts, wikis as collaboration tools, and mashups to assemble Web components and data.

What do you put on your bagel? If I am stuck with a bad bagel situation (like on a train or most places outside NYC) I'll make a cream cheese and doritos bagel sandwich. Gross and blasphemous but good. Otherwise cream cheese on plain, sesame or everything. Also smoked salmon and schmear of cream cheese. I love a pumpernickel/bialy toasted with loads of butter too. |
What do you put on your bagel? I'll second the pepper jelly combo. |
Food Centric Neighborhoods Seattle/Portland Thanks akq - I should have said we would be renting...hopefully a average priced 2br in a safe/convenient neighborhood. |
Strange Pairings that Taste Uncommonly Good try that with a small sprinkle of chipotle! |
Food Centric Neighborhoods Seattle/Portland What's up chowhounders! I am heading out to Seattle and Portland the 17-24th to visit friends and scope a possible new place to live. My gf and I are in our late 20's and coming from Brooklyn so there is your frame of reference. We love great food of course and that will be a big part of our decision to relocate. We want to have good access to markets and restaurants cheap/moderate/expensive, whatever. We really don't know anything about where we are going so we hope you can clue us in. Is there anywhere downtown we would live (in either Portland/Seattle or are all the interesting pockets spread out a bit? Any specific food centric nabe's we should check out? Any must try's while we are out there. We are good for all food types, especially clean unfussy fresh stuff, bbq, chinese, mexican, french, blah blah blah. Thanks for all your help. And feel free to steer us away from unnecessary tourist traps. Thanks so much. We appreciate any advice! |
Meridian/Wallingford good eats? Hello, I am gonna be staying around NE 45th St and 4th ave NE. Haven't found much eats in the nabe...any suggestions? Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner suggestions. We are mostly trying to eat on a budget, but don't mind a moderate/expensive meal if it is worth it. Is there any hope in this area or are we going to be bus bound to another nabe? |
Strange Pairings that Taste Uncommonly Good Fried sweet plantains, fried/roast pork, mayo, hot sauce, all on a baguette, panini style! |
Yes! that's the one! Thanks! |
Hello all! I remember a website (approx 5 months ago) that had nothing but images of food. These images linked to recipes at various other food blogs. I think the content was mainly user submitted. I can't seem to find it with google or through Chow. Does anyon else remember this website? Can anyone provide the link assuming its still around? Thanks for your help. |
Strange Pairings that Taste Uncommonly Good I just ate at this restaurant, I think called Maxi's, in Bolton Valley, VT. Their breakfast special was two pancakes. Each with a fried egg, bacon and cheese inside. Other than the unusual filling, it looked exactly the same as your standard pancake. It was phenomenal! |
There is an outdoor place in DUMBO on adjacent to where the water taxi picks-up/drops-off. They sell chips and salsa, hot dogs, burgers etc. I think there is also Thai selection. Beer is available too. A bunch of picnic tables are set up, and the waterfalls are close by too. Decent. Good location/views especially round sunset too. |
Strange Pairings that Taste Uncommonly Good I forgot if I mentioned it already but you made me think of it and this is one of my favs! Bagel, cream cheese, and Dorito sandwich. awesome. I am gonna go make one tight now. |
Strange Pairings that Taste Uncommonly Good I'm going home to try this after work! I wish I had a land line and an answering machine cause I know I'm gonna forget. |
You can find some interesting meats at Grab in the South Slope, 438 7th Ave |
Red Hot Szechuan in Park Slope closed? I saw this downhill too |
Dice thai restaurant in park Slope- Pretty substandard food here imho. |
Perhaps Gradisca. It's on West 13th Street and offers solid food. |
This question sounds ridiculous, but if you are serious about lavish, some friends of mine just had this a month ago: It is not particularly exotic, however, it does not get too much further over the top. It was for a very very very special occasion. Sorry for the misspellings. Hors d'oeuvres First Course Second Course Third Course Intermettso Fourth Course Fifth Course Sixth Course Filet of Kobe Beef with a Shitake Potato Cake & a Duet of sauces, classic demi glace & black pepper caramelized Shallot Hollandaise Seventh Course Eighth Course Ninth Course Finale and salt mined from mars (That's hilarious). |
Strange Pairings that Taste Uncommonly Good I occasionally have that exact version! Except now, I omit the raisins usually. |
I am so happy to see that Brooklyn Burger Bar has not appeared once. |
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo sure... but for something more along the lines of what the op is looking for (if I understand right) and if you stick w/Montepulciano, I suggest a Vino Nobile de Montepulciano imho. However most of these wines mentioned are not varietals (all one type of grape) One interesting and very off beat verietal is mayolet, a hearty grape grown in some of the most norhthern parts of Italy. For price/quality ratio, a chianti Classico reserva or a Brunello sound good to me, neither are varietal though. |
Late-ish dinner for 2 (10pm) - post BAM event? I'll second Stonehome... |
I heard the franchise talk right after they opened the first one in Barre. I went to to a little investigation and spoke with a few of the people working. I heard talk of going to MA and elsewhere. The potential for this concept (call it whatever you wish) of franchising local foods is interesting. It begs of so many questions and eminent contradictions. I ate at the one in Barre a half a dozen time and I pretty much all I can say is this: I really appreciate what they are doing and wish to see them succeed. |
Strange Pairings that Taste Uncommonly Good I like cream cheese and hot pepper jelly on crackers |
Where can I buy Dried Orange Peel? I bet this place has what you are looking for. 97 Reade St good luck. |
At the start of the summer, I found a beer called Tripel Karmeliet, A belgian triple that is light, creamy, crisp, complex. It's incredible. Every time I have it, it tastes new. |
So while I do like popcorn poppers, I most often pop my own corn. People's ooking methods can vary, as do their results. What are your favorite ways of making popcorn without the microwave and without the popper? What type of pan/pot/container do you use? What it made out of? What type of oil? Blazing high heat or more medium? Whose kernels? To shake thy container not shake thy container? When to remove from the heat? So on and so forth. |
Crispo? (Baltimore 'Hound Needs Advice) I think you've made a great choice. If you search Crispo on the boards here, you will find that most food recommendations are on point. |
braineater, have you tried American Flatbread in Waitsflied, their original location? I haven't been to the brew-pub in Burlington, but always recommend the the Waitsfield one. I am not a fan of Magic hat, but I do respect what they are doing with their beers, and do occasionally like one. |
Petite Abeille has a Lobster Night on Wed. I have never been for the lobster, but I can vouch for good mussels, fries, great beer selection, and decent burgers and steak. |

Erosion on Plum Island prompts state of emergency
NEWBURY, Mass. (WHDH) -- Severe erosion on Plum Island has caused local leaders to declare a state of emergency.
Plum Island homes are at risk of being swept out to sea. Beach erosion prompted a State Senator Bruce Tarr and Congressman John Tierney to meet with residents and local and state officials Friday morning.
The Bennett family has owned a Plum Island house for 100 years. The view is spectacular, but when the weather is bad, the pounding surf is relentless.
"It's pretty scary. It comes right up and it rips it out," said Elaine Bennett.
Steady erosion has left Elaine Bennett's home just 20 feet from the edge of a steep dune. The steps down to the beach were washed away a year and a half ago.
Elaine's husband attended a meeting Friday as homeowners fought to protect their property.
"My dad's 89 years old and I know he'd hate to see it go over the banks," said John Bennett, homeowner.
Four homes face an imminent threat. They could be condemned after another big Nor'easter. Homeowners are fighting for the right to push sand back up to the dunes after devastating storms.
"We should have the right to take the bump that comes out of your land, and push it back up with a bulldozer," said Ronald Barrett, Plum Island Taxpayers Association.
For that, they need permits from the town of Newbury and the state. There are concerns that repeated scraping could actually lead to worse erosion.
"Beach scraping has to be done surgically and in a very limited way and in a responsible way. It's not a be all end all, it's not a panacea and it's not a long-term solution," said State Senator Bruce Tarr.
"We have to be as flexible as possible. We all understand the environmental rules and conservation issues involved," said Representative John Tierney.
Tierney has worked to help get millions in federal funding to fix leaky jetties, which are supposed to protect the sand from the flowing Merrimac River. That project is due to begin this fall.
There will be meetings on beach scraping permits next week.

More than just the home of Jiffy Mix, the city of Chelsea (pop. 4500) has embodied the virtues of progressive small town living for nearly 190 years. Classic neighborhoods surround its historic city center where festivals run all summer long. The city's picture-perfect downtown boasts the popular upscale bistro the
Common Grill
, just a block away from the award-winning
Purple Rose Theatre
--founded by local resident, actor Jeff Daniels.
Pick up a bottle of Michigan wine at The New Chelsea Market. Drop by the

Marc Anthony has been spotted cosying up on a date with Topshop heiress Chloe Green, fuelling speculation that the pair are now an item.
The 44-year-old singer was snapped on a date with 21-year-old Green at Disneyland in Anaheim, California on Tuesday. The couple were also joined by Anthony's 5-year-old twins - Max and Emme - from his marriage to Jennifer Lopez.
News of the couple's romance comes after the former Made In Chelsea star joined her father Philip Green at the launch of Topshop's first Los Angeles store, which a number of stars - including Anthony's ex-wife Lopez - attended.
Meanwhile, Anthony himself, who split from J-Lo in 2011, was seen promoting the British brand on his Twitter page, posting: "Who ever doesn't know about #Topshop #Topman in LA has to get in on it! Just had the time of my life at The Grove Amazing!" [sic]
Green, who since appearing in the hit E4 show Made In Chelsea has launched her own shoe line at Topshop, also mentioned the Latino singer in a Twitter conversation with a friend, writing: "LA is our future! But Marc asks what about New York!? Did you forget about your pub!? Already!"
