Online Reservations
They have done a great job with this setting. Very comfortable and good all around
Great food and drink menu. Outdoor dining area is nice with tables for dinner, small bar tables and couches for drinks and appetizers. Loved the cold pea soup with curry mist. Nice relaxed atmosphere.
There are many plusses to Harth. The restaurant is lovely and spacious. The food was good -- with the exception of the dessert which was one of the best I've ever tasted! So glad I ordered it as I rarely indulge in desserts. The service,on the other hand, was both slightly snooty and not very professional. The waiter was keen to let us know that Harth is committed to local growers, sustainability, blah, blah, but when it came to getting our drink orders, actually taking our orders, and presenting the food, he made himself scarce. At one point I found myself talking to his retreating back! He even disappoved of one of our choices. I still plan to return. The other waiters seemed to be doing better jobs.
Food was fantastic and our server really managed to gauge our appetite so ordered 3 small plates and a flat bread between 4 leaving just enough room to share 2 desserts. As everyone says the bacon jam was terrific. A must go in Mclean.
We've had trouble finding places for lunch where you can actually hear the people you are with. Harth is a beautiful restaurant with great service and good food. But the real benefit is that it has a quiet lunch scene. It is the perfect place to catch up with clients or friends.
The food was very good, and looked delicious. Negative comments regard the speed of service. It took too much time for our party to have our order taken, and then the food was delivered to the table after what seemed to be too long of a wait as well.
The food is outstanding; the menu is varied & reasonably priced and the service is absolutely great. Many people avoid hotel restaurants, but they should know this Hilton Hotel restaurant is located next door to the new World Headquarters of Hilton International. Their top executives dine at Harth and judge the food and service every day.
Food was wonderful. Waiter was attentive, but respectful of our space and conversation. We didn't have to fight Tysons mall craziness and we could hear other talk. Great wine selection and mixed drinks were spot on. Sleeper restaurant that is right in the middle of Tysons. Highly recommend!
Went for breakfast and it was incredible (if a bit on the pricey side). The bacon jam is every bit as amazing as other reviewers say - the perfect balance of savory and sweet. Great for an early morning meeting with colleagues. The fire features would also make it a romantic place for dinner. A rare find in Tyson's Corner. The quality of food far exceeded the norm for a hotel restaurant.
Have been to Harth a number of times. Easy to get to and park. Once I side the magic begins. Setting to warm and inviting and the staff friendly and informative. Had an exceptional waitress. Have forgotten her name but she is Arabic. I had special dietary requests and she handled everything beautifully. The meal was exceptional - kale and tomato salad with seared scallops! In addition, love the option of a glass and a half of wine. Recommend the restaurant often. Family and friends find it a gem as well!
Great experience at Härth - excellent food and exceptional service. Started with the chipotle BBQ shrimp - good portion and shrimp were cooked perfectly. The chipotle sauce was flavorful and the corn salsa fresh. We also tried the mussels, which were a chef's special. Those were our favorite. If they are on the menu, I highly recommend them. Also tried the roasted mushroom flatbread and the scallop entree. Both delicious. We'll be back.
The decor was very nice, the several fireplaces with various glass and mirrors gave an overall warmly-lit look and feel. The outside dining also had a long and large fireplace. The indoor dining had see through curtains so that the outside fireplace was visible. Very nice effect. The food was a bit pricey as were the drinks. Service was very friendly, good and prompt. I did not care for the bacon jam at all - it had a bitter taste.
Not a crumb of food was left on the table. The grilled calamari, ratatouille, and mushroom flatbread were favorites. We also couldn't believe a side of cabbage could taste that good. The only reason we didn't give service 5 stars - the pacing was slow. However, the timing inspired us to nestle into our booth by the fire and feel comfortable enough to camp out most of the night.
ok- for a small group. can't seem to handle the larger crowds. they want to make it up-scale with the wine room and sommelier but it just can't get to that level. it is just a hotel restaurant and it does sometimes feel like the Applebee's staff is trying to run a 5 star restaurant. not for kids been there a total of 3 times so far - requested by our clients.
I went here with my husband and son. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. We had a booth near one of the fireplaces. The service was excellent. I had rockfish, my husband had chicken breast and my son had a flatbread. All of the meals were excellent.
An excellent restaurant all around. The menu is relatively small and focused and the few choices are so good that it is still hard to choose. For starters, the bread basket is very good and comes with butter and BACON JAM. The latter is perfect - it balances the salty, savory pork and the sweetness of jam perfectly. The seared halibut with succotash was exceptional if a bit small. The flatbreads are wood fired and very delicious. We finished off the evening with pastry covered in fresh fruit with a scoop of ice cream. The wine list is not very long, but it was very reasonably priced and had options for 1 glass and 1.5 glasses for most wines. The service is very professional and polite.
Harth is one of my favorite places for lunch. It has a great atmosphere (sophisticated but not stuffy); delicious and well priced food; and attentive service. It always provides a pleasurable lunch experience.
Food, as always, was tasty and well-presented. Wait staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I've eaten at Harth on a few occasions in the past and each time I've ordered something different and have never been disappointed. Also, the servers remember me and my family, even though it's been quite a while since my last visit, and that's also a "plus." I plan to return in the future and highly recommend the restaurant.
Dinner with old friends whom I had not seen in over two years was made more enjoyable and special by the warm, friendly service, outstanding presentation and plating...and most importantly the food was delicious. Our table enjoyed pork chop, steak and scallop entrees...all cooked to perfection. The chocolate "cupcake" dessert was an amazing update to a traditional favorite ... We all shared with the caramel "pudding" selection. Härth is a hidden gem worth finding hidden among the McLean office parks along Jones Branch. Program the GPS and go! LcH
The overall dining experience was great. I was disappointed with the cocktails, however. I ordered a mojito and was disappointed to find out that you use a sugary/syrupy pre-mix and do not put the extra effort into making a quality cocktail the way it was intended to be made. I did not finish it and sent it back. The very pleasant waitress brought me a replacement very quickly and all was forgiven. The food was excellent and service was very good. It was my first experience there and I would absolutely like to return and will definitely suggest your restaurant as a great place to go for a romantic dinner with a very unique outdoor ambiance. But please, no more pre-mixed cocktails! Your establishment is much too classy for that!
First off the selection of food items on the breakfast bar for Saturday brunch was good and prepared well. My only comment is that if you are going to end up paying $30.00 a person (w/tax and tip) I think you should have the option of having an omelet made for you.
The staff was so accommodating and helpful. They helped me orchestrate the dinner and were just so wonderful, warm and enjoyable to be around. We weren't really there to do a "big" dinner but we were treated just the same as others who were enjoying multiple courses. I had the butternut squash soup. The chef did forget the manchego on my apple and endive salad but that was quickly fixed by our server who brought me a whole plate of thinly sliced manchego to add. My best friend had the iceberg wedge salad and the cauliflower. We both loved the bread! Love it because it's off the beaten path, it has an international flair to it (people who know how to host) and the atmosphere is awesome (the decor is unique and inviting and warm).
The food was unique with all fresh and local ing. Our server, Khadija, was fantastic and passionate.
We had out of town guests and decided to go to the Harth for dinner. Everyone was very pleased with the food, service, ambience and we could all hear each other when talking. All in all, a very nice evening.
Harth is a very good option for dinner in the Tyson's area. It's decor and ambiance are inviting and special -- a significant distance from even higher end chain restaurants. The food is imaginative, carefully prepared, and enjoyable. The wait staff is friendly and helpful -- although not always as rapidly accessible as would be nice. Altogether, it's a good choice, and one I will make again.
Its so nice to have a new restaurant in Tysons with inventive cuisine, a modern but relaxed environment, and great service. Plus, they have their own beehives and make wonderful honey infused drinks (the Hive is amazing) and put it their outstanding Bacon Jam. Save the honey bees!
excellent food - starts with signature bacon jam served with the bread - yummy.
Ate there twice while staying in the hotel for business. One night had an awesome mushroom risotto with scallops and a great cauliflower appetizer. The next meal of cheddar and beer fondue and smoked pork chop was less enjoyable. The sausage for the fondue was somewhat greasy although the fondue itself was excellent. The smoked pork chop had a great flavor but odd texture. The homemade bread is tasty as is both the butter and bacon spread. Cocktails are EXTREMELY expensive. $16 for a Grey Goose martini? PLEASE! I don't pay that much in NY. If I lived in the area, I would definitely make it a destination dinner but not necessarily an event dinner and if you are staying in the hotel or in the area, its certainly worth trying.
The shrimp with cheese grits was amazing. Their signature cocktail - the Hive - was really good! The chef does an amazing job with the food. The risotto with scallops and funghi was out of this world, but I think the shrimp was my favorite. To finish off I had the cream cheese ice cream which was amazing. A great chef and a good price for the type of food you get - the only negative is the wine is expensive for what it is. The wine we ordered was a pinot noir and set us back $52, but was more like at $28 bottle. I think most hotel chain restaurants sting you on drinks in any event as I've found the same at the Westin. Definitely worth a trip for the food......
I do wish the appetizer portions were larger for the price point. Friend ordered oysters and was greatly disappointed in the quantity given. The first time I went I had a great vegetarian entree- great choice and much left over. . 2nd time I went I was introducing another friend to my find and we were left still hungry, which was surprising given we almost never find a need to order an entree to be satiated and like the variety of appetizer plates. Will I go again - most definitely but with more knowledge about what to order.... It's decor is quite quite lovely.
I have eaten here many times. While in the past service has been spotty (but always exceedingly friendly), this occasion was perfect. This restaurant is one of the great secrets in the DC metro area and the food is always wonderful. Bacon jam for your bread is revelatory. Their dessert cupcake is without peer. Roast chicken, a throwaway at other restaurants, is cooked to juicy perfection and accompanied by red pepper jam and mustard, each flavor doing battle to your greatest advantage. Go explore, there is no risk!
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Harth and greatly enjoyed it. The food was excellent, the wine was great, and the fireplaces made the whole restaurant glow. It was overall a really nice experience.
I don't often expect a gourmet restaurant tucked into a hotel with captive audience. Harth was a wonderful and delicious surprise! The salted beets salad, the pear and fig flatbread, and the wild mushroom risotto with diver scallops were all fabulous. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable. A lovely autumn evening, eating great food and catching glimpses of the many hearths burning merrily.
Harth has really good food for a really fair price. Note, that doesn't mean that it's cheap - to some it may be considered a pricey restaurant. But I think compared to some places in the area, it's a very good deal. The food is yummy! You MUST order the bacon jam - this delicious in house creation that you slather over bread - it will change your life. The roasted chicken and the scallops and wild mushroom risotto are also delish.
We had a date night here on Friday. It was a very pleasant experience. We will return. Wine was a bit pricey, we bought a bottle. The atmosphere is really fantastic. We will certainly recommend this to friends. Don't skip the deserts. They were very good.
I ordered the veal shank. It came as described and was delicious, accompanied by root veggies that were cooked to perfection. I will definitely return.
A beautiful setting in the McLean Hilton. Spaciously set so that there is a sense of privacy yet in a warm environment. My pork sandwich was delicious and the service was good yet unobtrusive. Somewhat pricey, but that goes with being in a hotel setting. In sum, excellent overall for a business lunch.
My fiance and I had a date night here at Harth and we will be back! He had the BBQ Shrimp and Grits and the Roasted Cauliflower, and I tried the Wild Mushroom Risotto. All were very flavorful and delicious. As for the cocktails, I had the Hive and I loved it! The fact that Harth has 4 beehives of their own makes this drink that much better because you can taste the honey in it which gives it a very fresh flavor - it definitely is not store bought honey! Then for dessert, we tried the Butterscotch Pudding, based on our waiter's recommendation. It was perfect! The presentation was neat because they give you the ingredients and you put it together yourself - it was definitely enough for the both of us.
The food was great, and the wait staff was kind and helpful. We waited a long time for our entrees, but the manager was profusely apologetic and she comp'd a round of drinks, which more than made up for our time. The entrees were creative and the desserts were sinful. What an amazing restaurant.
From the smiling host to a very attentive waitres-Maria, the evening couldn't go any better. The ambience of the place is a perfect setting for a romantic dinner for two or bigger group dinning out. The food was excellent and the stuff made sure to bring the dishes at the right moment. At the end of the evening the HÄRTH helped us to celebrated the b-day with the special surprise. Will come back in the heartbeat :)
Only problem - serious one in my view - is lack of parking. Such pricey fare should merit valet parking.
Food and service very good. Had the mushroom risotto with scallops! Must try the bacon jam the chef makes!
I'd been itching to try HÄRTH since I had a conference at the Hilton Tysons Corner. The decor is gorgeous, modern, and luminescent. Service is attentive but not overbearing. The menu is seasonal and limited, but varied. I was a little disappointed that 7.30pm on a Saturday night they had already run out of the veal. I really wanted to try that dish. Instead I got the porkchop (which was huge). Perfect wood fired spiciness and moist inside. My friend had the rockfish which was flavorful and not dull like other white variety fish. The salads are large enough to share, and cheddar/sausage fondue- awesome. For dessert we had the butterscotch pudding and cake. Unique presentation and perfectly sweet. Great experience overall and will return.
This is a great place! We dined before going to Wolf Trap Barns...so we had an elegant meal while in business casual clothes. Great food and excellent selection to appeal to all. Nice pairing wines. Love the ambiance with fires burning ... very cozy yet modern. And they surprised us with a lovely included birthday dessert for my sister.
In the Tyson's Corner area of Washington DC's Virginia suburbs, Harth is one of a handful of reliable choices for very good food and service and pleasant ambiance. The menu exhibits some worthwhile creativity by the kitchen, bread is very good, and there are many good wine choices. The food and table service were up to their usual standards this time.
Whether you are looking for a place to have a business meeting, a relaxing fine dining experience, or an esccape from the hustle, this restaurant will exceed your needs. I brought my daughter and mother here to celebrate my daughter turning four years old (I do NOT recommend doing this unless your child can sit quietly-there were various business luncheons and the noise level was at all times respectfully subdued). I was fully expecting this to be a fine dining experience and my daughter is very well behaved for a small child, but the level of attention was surprising. The whole experience was superb, much better than would have been expected.
We ate several times at Harth in the summer and dined outside which was wonderful. First time eating inside and it was a great experience as usual.
This is a great place to take clients to lunch. Food, Service and personal touch allows for a great experience! I frequent this restaurant for business lunches and dinners and is my preference over others in the area.
We just had dinner with friends at Harth. It was a repeat visit for us; a first visit for our friends. The food is great. We decided to skip the entrees and split a number of small plates. Beet salad and Caesar were excellent. Shrimp small plate was very good and perfect to share. Pear and date pizza was delicious. We had the margerhitta pizza too and next time I will have the mushroom and caramelized onion pizza instead. Service was excellent. Best of all, we could actually talk without raising our voices. The tables are nicely spaced and the room was half full. What a pleasure to enjoy a great meal in a nice atmosphere with great service.
The menu at Harth is limited but blessedly so because the chef sticks to perfect, organic, in-season ingredients and everything is made in house, expertly. A roof aviary supplies honey for a sinful signature bacon jam that is served with very good bread and is also used on some dishes like a superb roast salmon. I have made a memorable dinner ordering all of the sides, my two favorites being the cheese grits and brussel sprouts. Flatbreads are exceptional, chicken, fish and burgers equally memorable. Rather than present a three page menu that is hit-or-miss, the chef is wise to offer only what he can do best in season. Everyone wins in a gorgeous setting with great service.

Whenever I've tried to do see auras it's usually, I don't know how to describe it perfectly, but depending on lighting, it seems, I see different things.
If the lighting it dim, I see a dark green / blue color, but that's at almost everything I look at, so I don't think I'm doing it right. If I have more light, instead of seeing a white line coming out, it's more like white light is on the skin I'm looking at and it isn't constant. It appears for a second, fades out, fades back in, seems to come out of the skin, and fades all the time. I never get a true white line outlining the skin like everyone says you're supposed to see.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I've practiced a lot and I keep getting the same results. Any advice for a novice such as myself?
listen. just do what you feels right. nobody is going to have the same exact experience as you, no matter what they say, or the 'normal' reults that you're suposed to see. all you gotta do is believe in urself and u'll get it right. eventually. it takes years to get it right. you cant get impatient. =) as long as you feel that you're seeing a true aura, you're doing it right. just don't lie to urself ;)
It can take months of practice.. even years for some people. Don't give up. I'd give you pointers, but this is one of those topics where google can bring you pretty good resources right off the bat.

By Kim
from Cleveland, OH
I was a bit skeptical, but my tub was running way too so, and I was running out of options short of calling a plumber. As soon as I got this, I tried it out. The first few attempts down the drain resulted in nothing, but I continued and soon I pulled out a clog that was pretty disgusting. That was followed by a smaller clog. The tub drain is finally running as it should. Well worth the $4.00 to try it out.
Also good for dishwasher spouts
By EZ Rider
from Los Angeles, CA
This item is very useful for cleaning out the drain spout for dishwashers. That's the little metal cap that's next to your sink when you have a dishwasher installed. These get clogged up once in a while, which leaves dirt on your clean dishes. This tool is perfect for cleaning out that spout.
It actually works

I'm very proud to announce my choice for America's next secretary of state.
John Kerry.
I think it's fair to say that few individuals.
Know as many presidents and prime minister is.
Or grass or foreign policies as firmly as John Kerry and this makes him a perfect choice to guide American diplomacy in the years ahead.
President Obama earlier today busy day for him announcing John carries his nominee to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state.
That kicks up the lightning round this Friday AB do you think he'll sail through for confirmation TSA dale and I think he's gonna work on the Ben -- problem because he doesn't want anything happens watch right and in how does he work on the -- -- problems.
I don't know it's a real question is going to be an early test for janitors tenure as secretary of state because Republicans are gonna demand answers and they should.
I think so we've.
Obviously security for these consulates around the world is going to be the big issue for Kerry.
Does he just say look give them everything they need he's got to work within a budget and obviously they were using local.
-- local.
Law enforcement Charles because it was too expensive to send the Americans -- no longer after an incident like this where you lose your first ambassador.
In thirty years you'll get -- -- but he worked there will be anybody in congress who deny them a petty.
She realized for a lot of money and he'll get all of the security of this -- next topic in the lightning round the NRA gun control the debate in what to do about school shootings we -- -- the executive vice president of the NRA held a press conference today.
He said what needs to happen is there needs to be a law enforcement officer in every school across America let's pick it up from there.
What if when Adam -- has started shooting his way in this sandy hook elementary school last Friday.
He'd been confronted.
By qualified.
Armed security.
We -- at least admit.
It's possible.
That -- six little kids.
The 26 innocent lives.
Might have been spirit that date.
Now his proposal was met with duration for a number of quarters today but -- when you look at these lone wolf.
Massacres like this the people who -- never never really identified as being much of a threat are there different ways to stop it.

But the problem with the gun control side -- that unless you go the road of Australia which essentially disarm the population entirely.

Courageous patience
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord. Consider the farmer who waits patiently for the coming of rain in the fall and spring, looking forward to the precious fruit of the earth. 8 You also must wait patiently, strengthening your resolve, because the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Don't complain about each other, brothers and sisters, so that you won't be judged. Look! The judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patient resolve and steadfastness.

Did you know . .
One of the most famous Biblical references is in the Sermon on the Mount, when Christ told his listeners: "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; and yet...Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
Often called the "white-robed apostles of hope," lilies were found growing in the Garden of Gethsemane after Christ's agony. Tradition has it that the beautiful white lilies sprung up where drops of Christ's sweat fell to the ground in his final hours of sorrow and deep distress. Churches continue this tradition at Easter time by banking their altars and surrounding their crosses with masses of Easter Lilies, to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and hope of life everlasting.

Episode 500: The Humble Innovation At The Heart Of The Global Economy
On today's show: the story of an often-overlooked innovation that's essential to the global economy. The innovation is a box. A big, metal box.
The standard shipping container has completely transformed commerce in the past 50 years. It's part of the reason the Planet Money men's T-shirt comes from cotton grown in Mississippi, spun into yarn in Indonesia, and sewn together in Bangladesh.
On today's show, we see the shipping container in action, and hear the story behind it.

Steelers Coach Fined $100,000 For Interfering With Play
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has been fined $100,000 for interfering with a kickoff return in a Thanksgiving Day game with the Baltimore Ravens.
"The league said Tomlin's actions — he was standing on the white stripe that borders the playing field and took a step onto the field during Jacoby Jones' kickoff return — should have resulted in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty."
As we reported last week, Tomlin had said he wasn't paying attention to the field and was instead looking at the JumboTron when the interference occurred. You can see video of what happened here.
In a statement, Tomlin said: "As I stated yesterday, I take full responsibility for my actions, and I apologize for causing negative attention to the Pittsburgh Steelers organization.
"I accept the penalty that I received. I will no longer address this issue as I am preparing for an important game this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins," he said.
The fine imposed on Tomlin is the second-largest for an NFL coach, ESPN says.
MSNBC's Martin Bashir Steps Down Over Palin Remarks
MSNBC host Martin Bashir has resigned from the network following controversial remarks he made about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Some three weeks ago, Bashir referred to Palin as a "world-class idiot" for suggesting that U.S. indebtedness to China was akin to slavery. The television host quoted from plantation owner Thomas Thistlewood's diary describing a punishment for slaves that involved having others defecate in their mouths.
"When Mrs. Palin invokes slavery, she doesn't just prove her rank ignorance. She confirms if anyone truly qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, she would be the outstanding candidate," he said in a Nov. 15 broadcast.
The remarks caused a firestorm of controversy, and on Wednesday, Bashir said he'd tendered his resignation over the matter.
"It is my sincere hope that all of my colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments," he wrote in a statement. "I deeply regret what was said, will endeavor to work hard at making constructive contributions in the future and will always have a deep appreciation for our viewers."
The Associated Press writes that Bashir's departure has "coincided with MSNBC's firing of Alec Baldwin from his weekly talk show after two weeks for using an anti-gay slur in a New York City street encounter."

Telemundo's 'Highly Unusual' Resurrection of 'El Señor'
Telemundo recently announced that its telenovela El Se�or de los Cielos (Lord of the Skies) will be back for a second season; production began this week in Mexico City. This resurrection sets it apart from almost every other telenovela because, unlike American soap operas, telenovelas have a clear beginning and a definitive ending, airing for a set number of episodes.
El Se�or is based on the true story of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, a Mexican drug lord best-known for using Boeing 727 jets to transport cocaine from Colombia. In real life, Fuentes died in 1997 in a hospital after he tried to get plastic surgery to alter his appearance. (There are of course various conspiracy theories regarding how he died.) In El Se�or, the drug lord, Aurelio Casillas, returns, but with a different face.
The show, which aired starting in April of this year and ending in August, had an average of 2.3 million viewers per episode. El Se�or's finale — originally planned to be its coup de grace — attracted 3.6 million viewers. That figure, the Los Angeles Times reported, made it the "second-highest-rated ending for a telenovela in Telemundo's history."
Telemundo's more successful competitor, the Spanish-language TV network Univision, said in a press release earlier this year that the finale for its telenovela Amores Verdaderos had an average audience of 5.2 million viewers.
El Se�or is the latest example of what has been a popular subgenre for years — the narconovela. These shows feature the stories of real and fictional drug lords. There was Pablo Escobar: El Patr�n del Mal (Pablo Escobar: The Boss of Evil), which replayed the narrative of the Colombian cocaine cartel chief; La Reina del Sur (The Queen of the South), which was about a woman who becomes one of Spain's most powerful drug traffickers; and now, El Se�or.
Genesys Sanchez reported on "narco cultura" for NPR in 2011 and says these types of TV shows sprang up around 2006 and "[feed] into the way a lot of young people in Mexico idolize drug dealers."
And there's an ever present back-and-forth about the merits and shortcomings of narconovelas. They're usually violent and dark. They portray a negative image of Latin America.
"As a commercial product, these things are successful," says Diana Rios, a University of Connecticut professor who studies telenovelas and narconovelas. "And entities like Telemundo are cashing in on that success. ... I question that decision because I'm concerned with the impact on Latino families that watch it — that watch telenovelas."
The resurrection of El Se�or is an anomaly, but no surprise for superfan Vinette Brown. She got hooked on telenovelas about four years ago and posts on Caray Caray, an English-language site for telenovela fans to discuss the shows and share recaps of episodes.
"We all sort of expected it when they had such a lousy finale for that show. ... It seemed like they were leaving the door open to have some sort of sequel," said Brown. "It's highly unusual for a telenovela. ... Particularly at the end of narconovelas that center on trafficking ... almost everyone dies."
And as for the next incarnation of El Se�or, Brown said she's interested to see what unfolds next spring — but she's a skeptic:
"I don't believe, considering how poorly they wrapped things up, that they'll be able to bring the same level of writing to a sequel."

I don't have internet access on the dock. This has been a bit of an adjustment.
To pass the time (in between taking calls from tourists and selling tickets) I read. A lot. I write. Some. And I look around.
For hours, I look around.
And this week I've seen some pretty cool things.
1. An anhinga, also known to the Seminole Indians as the "snake bird," swimming and diving–hunting for fish. After a few dives it caught this little fishy and shook it around for a while (I guess to disorient it). Then it tossed it in the air, opened wide, and swallowed it in one gulp. Then it hopped up on the dock and spread it's wings to dry out. They have to dry out after long periods of swimming or their wings become too heavy with water to fly.
2. A school of fish. There were hundreds of them! Tiny silver things, darting this way and that, an occasional show off jumping in the air and splashing me with water. They stayed by my dock for much of the day and I watched them all afternoon.
3. A Little Blue Heron, hunting for food along the mud banks at low tide. He finally found a snake and tore. that. thing. apart. But not before a really good fight from the snake. (In the second picture you can kind of see the snake trying to wrap itself around the heron's beak.)
4. Petey the Pelican. He's a regular 'round our dock and was just chillin' by our crabbing boat today, floating in the water, flappin' his wings (did you know that the brown pelican is the largest of our sea birds with a wing span that can reach up to 7 feet?) … and flappin' his beak.
5. A manatee! This was particularly exciting as manatee don't generally live in our area. But every summer we get a couple who wander up, I guess from Florida, and make their way into our harbour. I was so caught of guard I gawked for too long before I jumped to grab my camera–which was at the bottom of my bag of course–and I didn't get it out in time to get a great picture before it submerged and swam away. Hopefully you can kind of see it–it's the brown log looking thing in the water. I'm hoping it'll come back tomorrow so I can get a better picture. What a gentle giant.
6. The harbour in late afternoon. I love this time of day. The light is just beginning to turn a touch of golden and today the reflection was shimmering on the boats so beautifully. The sky was blue blue blue and it just looked so pretty I had to take a picture.

Starting to think about change... Emcee at my cousin Erin's wedding. Shopping for a dress was a nightmare. I stayed in Toronto after the wedding and during a long conversation with my aunt and uncle admitted life was not as it seemed and discussed the pros and cons of making a change in my personal relationship and life. It was one of the most influential conversations of my life.
The starting point for the transformation. The "A-HA" moment happens while watching Madonna perform at Madison Square Gardens.
I walked through the doors of LA Weight Loss and made the commitment. On the first visit they asked me "How much do you think you weigh?" I had no idea but took a guess and asked them not to tell me what I actually weighed. Initially I said I wanted to lose 40 pounds but when someone left my file sitting on the desk several weeks later I was shocked to learn that I had started at 220 pounds. Accepting the new reality I revised my goal to lose 60 pounds.
It was only after the first month when I had lost close to 20 pounds that I decided to share with my family and select friends that I was dieting.
LA Weight Loss goes under. A friend gives the best birthday gift... a trip to Weight Watchers with me. I attended one group meeting and when the leader said "Let's share," I decided to take the program and figure it out on my own. I paid for the weekly accountability of the weigh-in but didn't meet again with one of their facilitators until I reached my goal weight. When I joined I didn't select a goal weight. I simply said "I'll know when I get there."
Time to hit the gym.
Down 45 pounds, I talk myself through the doors of the gym. I commit to go 3 times a week for 30 minutes. It was a cold snowy night in January when I sat in my car on the parking lot of a local gym. I literally had to talk myself out of the car and walk through the doors.
Once inside I toured the gym and activated a membership I had held (and paid for) for two years and never used. On the first night I walked the treadmill for 15 minutes and made a promise to myself I would come after work at least three times in the first week.
Every subsequent visit I increased my time on the treadmill until the fourth week when I was doing 45 minutes of cardio a minimum of four times a week. Encouraged by the results I realized that I really liked eating healthy, it was no longer a diet and I enjoyed the stress relief that cardio gave me. Of course, the continuing drop on the scales motivated me too.
Shoppers at Filene's Basement in Boston were treated to my fist-pumping shrieks as I hit my first single digit clothing size since high school. And my first Vera Wang dress too! Dizzy with excitement I couldn't wait to get outside the store with my new purchase and call home. This was the first time I thought "maybe I can even get to a size 7." That afternoon I continued my retail therapy with confidence.
Strolling down Newbury St. I bought my first pair of designer jeans (Joe's Jeans worn by Jennifer Aniston) at Anthropologie, a pair of killer tall black boots at Kenneth Cole and a new wardrobe for work at Saks. Before returning to the hotel and heading out for the night I had a makeover done at the Bobbi Brown makeup boutique.
My only problem was that all the clothes purchased were too baggy to wear a month later. I continued to alter them until finally the tailor told me I had to pitch it all and start over.
On a roll and down 70 pounds, my body says "more please" from the gym. I hire a trainer and start lifting weights. Ironically when I went for my first fitness assessment (a mandatory before starting with a personal trainer) I was adamant that I didn't want to develop a lot of muscle. I just wanted to "tone up." But six weeks into the sessions I started to develop cuts in my arms and I liked it.
I also enjoyed the strength and exhilaration I felt lifting weights. Before I knew it I was counting the minutes until I could hit the gym again. I am still as passionate now when I enter the gym doors as I was back then.
Everything must go.
Down 80 pounds, everything in my closet must go! I celebrate with a mother-daughter shopping and beach excursion to Florida. Running on a beach one morning I decide to complete the transformation by training for a figure competition. I must be one of the few people who can vacation and lose weight. During that trip I dropped four pounds, indulged in some of my favorite foods and shopped till I dropped.
At first it was overwhelming – I had to buy everything from pajamas to shorts, shirts, jackets, dresses, pants. The list was endless and I really didn't know what style I liked anymore. Thankfully I met a really great personal shopper at Saks who overheard me telling my story in the change room. She introduced herself and began handing me clothes. I could barely carry the bags back to the car but in my heart I felt like I could float. This was really happening.
I complete a 96 pound weight loss at WW. It was a Friday morning at 7:45am when I reached my goal and lifetime membership. It was a perfect day to celebrate as our office shut down for the day for a team building day at the Wilds. I remember afraid to touch any unhealthy food but I did have a couple of low carb drinks to mark the occasion. The next morning I was back at the gym.
Stepped on stage for my first figure competition and was hooked. Decided to pick up the sport and become a figure competitor. I didn't know what to expect from my debut on stage. I remember being really nervous backstage but it disappeared with the first step from the wings.
With the lights on for the morning show I immediately spotted my Mom and brother sitting in the middle section and my coach sitting on the right hand side. They didn't know what to expect either. It's a very vocal sport and you receive a lot of encouragement to keep your pose in check on stage. When I felt myself fading (30 minutes on stage holding poses with your stomach sucked in is tiring!), I could hear my coach singing out with encouragement.
That night many of my long time friends and their husbands came to watch and cheer me on. Although I didn't place, I felt as if I had won for the victory was taking the step on stage as a transformed person nearly half my bodyweight.
The next day while brunching with my family my Dad said "just get back on the horse and try again." I was hooked and determined to improve my physique for the next competition. A figure athlete was born.
2nd place at the NL Provincial Figure Championships. Qualified for nationals.
Is the Dream Over?
Ankle and tendon injury setback dream of stepping on a national stage. Long road of recovery begins. It's every athletes' nightmare. You wake up one morning to find you can barely put on your boots. By the day's end you unzip them to find one leg 3 inches bigger than the other and you can barely walk.
It happened to me in February and I naively thought it was just a sprain. After weeks of physio I had clearance to train and headed to Florida to Gold's Gym. On Day 5 I had that sickening feeling of feeling something tweak in my right foot while trying new cardio – a lateral skating machine. I knew I had put nationals at risk.
In 2011 I endured 9 weeks in a walking cast and continued to train while taking anti-inflammatories for months. Even in the boot it hurt to just get out of bed but I didn't give up. I had to step to the sidelines for nationals but fought my way back to cardio and getting conditioned to take the stage again this past November. I could barely walk in my stage shoes and had chiro and physio on my leg in between the morning and night show but I repeated my 2nd place performance and qualified once again for nationals.
Daily Grind
When I'm not at the gym, you'll find me diffusing corporate landmines as the VP Marketing & Account Planning with the Idea Factory.

Comments about Sakar International Victorious Flashlight:
Bought this for my 2 year old daughter because she is obsessed with flashlights. We got tired of going to find our flashlights and finding the batteries dead! Its a great little flashlight. Its plenty bright. Bright enough to do shadow puppets on the wall. We haven't taken it camping or anything, but it seems bright enough to be sufficient there too. The feature I particularly like is the small button on the sliding switch. My two year old can't quite get the sliding switch to work by herself, but if she pushes the little button, the flashlight comes on as well. It just goes off as soon as she releases it. What I like about that is that it saves battery power. So I can send her to bed with her flashlight and not have to worry about it being on all night long.

I doubt anyone of us can give a correct answer but when is it expected that Hard Disk Drives and Solid State Drives to go down in price - because of the flood last year. And by how much do you think? One third (1/3)?
?? OCZ vertex 3 60GB are only $90 now... and the 120GB vertex 4 is around the $200 mark... seems very cheap to me.
SSD drives have always been going down in price. HDD price are gradually coming down but not sure when they'll stop going down in price.
Bought a Samsung 1T 3.0 SATA HDD for $32 two weeks before the flood. A week after, that same drive is $90. It hasn't moved in price since. It could take at least another 5 years or even more to have the prices adjust. BUT, the supply and demand cycle would have to change the market swing in the right direction otherwise. As the world economies keep plunging and debt just builds up, I wouldn't think that the HDD nor the SSD would drop any time soon. Most counties buying power is diminished by hidden inflation factors.
Dunno about HDDs, but prices of SSDs are going down by the minute, check this OCZ Agility 3 120GBs for $99 after MIR: OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III... Heck, I'll probably get one more of those to pair to my current LAN box drive in RAID 0
SSD's are slated to drop pretty nicely this year, and HDD's are finally recovering from being Price Fixed. I would expect HDD's to be back down to acceptable prices by the end of the year.
http://www.legitreviews.com/news/12765/ These new prices are going to stay. pre-flood it was 4 players, now only 2.
SSDs have been trending down constantly. The crucial M4 drives in particular. Their 512 GB is nearly affordable at $550 now, and the 256 is $300, dipping down much lower during one of it's frequent sales. They were both 18% higher a few months ago. Seagate HDD prices are nearly returned to normal. They've got a 7200 3 TB drive down to pre-flood prices. That had to be a sale price. It stuck around $60 most of the time.
As far as all my distributors have told me, the SSD stocks/production were not greatly affected by the floods, it was the mechanical drives that took the hit as many of the mechanical drive makers had at least one factory over there or were otherwise affected. General concensus in the industry is that mechanical drive prices are slowly falling and *might* return to pre-flood levels by the end of the year, although many of us who are a little bit skeptical feel they may never drop back down to pre-flood prices. This of course boasts well for the SSD makers. The higher the cost of the mechanical drives, the better the prices on SSDs looks. It's certainly a great time to dive into SSDs. PS, yeah some mechanical drive models have fallen in price faster than others, but overall it's taking a long time, too long.
As I read someone rightly pointed out.....how long does it take to make a clean room clean again? It is also apparently cheaper to clean up the tools then to buy new ones. Those tools also go in clean rooms too. Add all this together and taking a year to get prices back down doesn't seem far fetched to me.
It is a bit odd to me that 512 GB SSD price right now are about that much in cost (to us) but a 1 TB SSD is nearly 3K. I seem to recall them (preflood?) being about 1 thousand. How strange that double the amount of space is like 6 times the cost. Sheesh.
Yeah some of these prices are outrageous. I remember before the flood I was able to buy a WD Black 1tb for $60 and now it's over 100. Hopefully they go down so i can grab a couple for my NAS
I bought a WD Black 1TB for $70 almost 2 years ago, and they dropped to around $60 pre-flood. A few days after the flood it was sitting at--I kid you not--$200. I'm no expert but that sounds suspiciously like Price-Fixing.
pre-flood i got a 2TB external drive for 110$ USB3 and 100$ USB2 both are Western Digitals lately i got myself a 2TB Hitachi Touro Desk USB2 for 150$
I read that the one plant that made the arms that read the disk was or had to have all the equipment and the plant redone refurbished,They said in that article that it would take until April 2012 to have it up and running tests again,So who knows reminds me of the Thailand earthquake late 99 when all the memory prices shot up. http://www.forbes.com/sites/carljohnson/2011/10/28/inside-wds-flooded-thai-factory/ Here is the one from Jan,It would seem the first article explains the slider arms equipment was lost,That it would take 6 months to have a new one made,The reason it is taking so long that slider plant also made them for the other guys too. http://www.wdc.com/en/company/pressroom/releases.aspx?release=29d5d9bd-4e44-4814-aa15-7c4c5346606c Operations Update The company also announced it has made significant additional progress to restore its manufacturing capacity following the recent flooding in Thailand. It has continued to ramp HDD production in Thailand and yesterday resumed slider production which had been suspended since October 10. The company now believes its manufacturing capacity will be back to pre-flood capabilities in the quarter ending September 2012. "We have made substantial progress in restoring WD's manufacturing capabilities in the aftermath of the historic flooding in Thailand, and this is reflected in our second quarter financial results and in the resumption of our operations there," said John Coyne, president and chief executive officer. "While much work remains to be done over the next several quarters to reach our pre-flood manufacturing capabilities, the progress thus far is significantly ahead of our original expectations and is a tribute to the dedicated and effective actions of our employees, contractors and Thai government agencies, the efforts of our supply partners and the support of our customers. We are grateful to all involved in this extraordinary effort."
There slowly coming down in price. I think they took the opportunity to retool after the flood so recovery has been slow to pay for the new factory
If I remember correctly from a couple quick news posts on here, maybe linked to other sites, was that by 2013 prices should be back down as low as they go, with everything being as close to normal by 2014. With the trend of SSDs becoming more affordable, I think we'll see a situation where HDDs never get back to the price they were since SSDs will eventually become the main option for pre-built PCs. Wouldn't be surprised if we actually start to see them offered with a smaller 60GB SSD with the OS, then a larger sized HDD for storage.
You 2 need to read what i just posted........ It appears they got very lucky to save 2 of the machines that made the sliders,They are still waiting for the rest to be made ,And should be going in the plant in June/July and running around August.Also look at the bright side we should have cheap storage just in time for this years Christmas rush...... My thoughts on the SSD Why they still need to have the 60-80 gigs up here at $120-$199 price point,Most of us would like to see the over 240 gis drop.They go for around $240-$250 and it is more cheaper still to buy a 1tb-2tb drive..What gets me is ddr3 ram is like $30 for 4 gigs 8gigs is $45......

POTSDAM, Germany, October 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The latest free, open online course at the German Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) provides participants with an in-depth understanding of business process modeling. The course, starting October 28th on the interactive Internet educational platform openHPI.de, will be taught by Prof. Mathias Weske, who heads the HPI research group Business Process Technology. In the six-week online course, domain experts, business administration experts, IT professionals and students alike will learn that business processes can only be successfully implemented when there is a common understanding of the workflow process involved. Online registration for the course, which is taught in English, is already open at: http://openhpi.de/course/bpm2013
"Representational process modeling is a great help in improving the communication between all the parties involved," said Weske. Misunderstandings can be identified and resolved earlier. To establish a shared language for business processes, the openHPI course will teach the fundamentals of process modeling based on the modeling language BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation).
With this language as a foundation, course participants learn concepts and their exact meaning plus the necessary guidelines for modeling business processes. Also introduced are verification methods that serve to reveal any defects in process models. Moreover, data in business processes and process choreographies are examined.
Weske has made more than 100 contributions to scientific conference proceedings, professional journals and numerous scientific books. His book "Business Process Management: Concepts, Languages, Architectures" reflects the content of the current course.
Participation in the course is free. There are no pre-requisites. Those participants who complete the course successfully are eligible to receive a HPI certificate. OpenHPI courses - as so-called Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) - are embedded in an interactive learning network.
