Forest Park
We encounter everything from a perfect Guinness to granny-made samosas in the first of our neighborhood nosh series.
About ten miles directly west of downtown Chicago, you'll find Forest Park. The working-class village (called Harlem until 1907) has about 16,000 residents, but even more are buried in its many cemeteries—earning it the nickname "City of Cemeteries."
Take the Forest Park Blue Line to its end, walk a couple blocks north and you'll hit Madison Street, the heart of the neighborhood. There you'll spot the hokey green leprechaun sign of 1) Horan's Snug (7218 W Madison St, 708-366-5190), the best of no less than seven Irish pubs in a half mile. After an exhaustive freshness taste test of every Guinness on this street, we'd say that the sprightliest dark ones are served here. Drink one with corned beef and fries for old-school satisfaction. (Caution: Pick your seat carefully; some regulars have their favorite spots.)
If you're in the mood for Italian (and not the boring red-sauce version), head to 2) La Piazza (410 Circle Ave, 708-366-4010). Chef Gaetano Di Benedetto wins his legion of regulars with a number of neo-Italian creations like lamb prosciutto, butternut-squash gnocchi and fettuccine with lobster tails. Ask the chef to feed you what he thinks is best and he will, grandly. Whatever you order, nosh on some of Di Benedetto's focaccia, baked fresh and fabulous. Downstairs is a casbah-type jazz lounge, with private nooks for cocktails and canoodling, as well as an abbreviated menu.
The green awnings across the street belong to 3) Todd & Holland (7311 W Madison St, 800-747-8327), quite possibly the Midwest's most expansive tea emporium, featuring hundreds of variations on Camellia sinensis. Owner Bill Todd talks about tea for as long as you want to listen, explaining the nuances of the world's most popular beverage (after water). Todd has stupendous pu-ers, lively Darjeelings, triple bergamot–infused Earl Grey, and there's always several brewed for sampling.
Nearby is the legendary bar-cum-restaurant 4) Jimmy's Place (7411 W Madison St, 708-771-7476), where you'll find perfectly crafted martinis and braciola (Italian-style stuffed beef rolls) that might just be the best you've ever tasted. Bread is freshly baked, and gnocchi and cannoli are prepared in-house. Say hi to Jimmy; he's the gregarious guy in the baseball cap tending bar.
If you need a break from eating and drinking and you like history and mystery stories (particularly historical mysteries), 5) Centuries & Sleuths (7419 W Madison St, 708-771-7243) sucks you in with its luminous collection of books and oddball arcana. Genial owner Augie Alesky puts on live performances of the old Steve Allen routine "Meeting of the Minds," and has even hosted Allen, Peter Ustinov and others in his shop.
A few doors down, 6) Priya Grocery (7444 W Madison St, 708-771-1745) used to have a sign in front that read pakistani-indian, but on September 12, 2001, the owners painted over Pakistani to avoid being hassled by half-wits. Nonetheless, the samosas—brought in fresh by a local granny who emigrated from India—are excellent, flaky and only 60 cents (if they're not on the counter, check the cooler).
To pick up hard-to-find African ingredients to haul back for home cooking, stop in 7) Kejetia Supermarket (7608 W Madison St, 708-366-8195). It's the place to get bitter leaves, kenkey powder, bone-in goat cubes, cow skin and shito, the unfortunately named Ghanaian condiment. Slurp a stunning Jamaican ginger ale for a lot of zing and good mojo while you browse.
To end your stroll, tuck into some outstanding Thai chow at 8) Yum Thai (7748 Madison St, 708-366-8888). Politely decline the standard menu and request the Thai menu (there's an English-language translation) to order things you've never had before, like deep-fried quails or an eggplant curry with acacia leaf and snails. It's BYOB, and with any foresight, you'll have picked up some beverages on the way (next door to mostly "dry" Oak Park, Forest Park flaunts its wetness with many liquor sources). Go ahead and have another; the Blue Line is the designated driver for this global day trip.

Help Bob Evans fight cancer with a Facebook like
When Zach, a 7-year-old Cincinnatian, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, his family was determined to fight the cancer head on. But they weren't the only ones fighting. Bob Evans, Zach's father's employer, donated $10,000 to CureSearch for Children's Cancer in 2012, and it's hoping to do the same this year.
During Bob Evans' "Make a Face at Cancer Campaign," for every new "like" on Bob Evans' Facebook page, it will donate $1 (up to $10,000) to CureSearch in support of Zach. If you'd like to help us fight cancer by liking/sharing Bob Evans' Facebook page, please use and share this link to the campaign: http://on.fb.me/GDctna.

Why would you want to invert the subs? There are reasons to do it, and am just wondering what you are getting at.
I think he is just trying to make the enclosure as small as possible. Inverting the subs will l make him able to make the enclosure a little smaller, and would not hurt anything.

Topshop is the top UK retailer for tablet user experience, according to the latest research by QUISMA, in which 10 top UK retailers were compared in terms of their tablet sites.
Topshop, Adidas and Nike provide the easiest to use websites for tablet users, whereas Zara and H&M performed poorly when it came to helping consumers navigate their sites.
Shall we blindly take QUISMA's word for it? Nah. Where's the fun in that?

Some time between 2010 and 2011: "We should get a Twitter account!" bellows a CEO in a boardroom after reading the term repeatedly in a broadsheet newspaper over the weekend.
"Everyone's on Twitter, our customers are on Twitter, we should get a Twitter account, and we should Twit at customers and tell them how great we are. We don't want to be behind the curve on this one. Not like we were when we didn't have a website until last year," continues the imaginary ruddy-faced executive as he pontificates to a room full of lap-dogs and sycophants.
"Also we should be on Facebook... Also do people still use MySpace?"
So the company immediately got a Twitter account, and a Facebook page and a [insert name of popular social media channel here] account and it pumped as many press releases, corporate slogans and nakedly brazen 'buy-me' marketing bilge down the channel as it possibly could, forgetting a number of key points.

I should add a caveat here… 'of varying degrees of quality'.
There are definitely six examples here, but I would suggest that only four and a half are actually 'innovative'.
I'll start with the best one, which is the reason why I began this journey in the first place. Well that and an uncharacteristic wave of festive spirit after enjoying a post-lunchtime liqueur chocolate. Then if you can tread with increasing amounts caution through the remaining examples, that would be great.
So with the formalities dispensed with, let's begin...

Using video on a landing page can increase conversion by up to 86%.
This statistic comes from a study by EyeView on various ecommerce sites.
In the study, two different variations of the same website were built, with 50% of the traffic being directed to a landing page with an embedded video, the other 50% directed to a page without.
The website that achieved the largest conversion rate (86%) was an online tutoring service. This is clearly the type of company that would naturally benefit from a landing page video, as most of its content is likely to be delivered via that medium anyway. It's a free 'sampler', a way to show how professional and useful your service is before the visitor has signed up for a subscription.
Video is one of the best and most persuasive of all visual tools as it's capable of delivering large amounts of information quickly and succinctly. Especially if it's about a new service or product.

In the run up to Christmas 2013, it seems that online fashion retailer ASOS is the top UK brand on Pinterest, generating 1,728 shares per week.
These findings come from the latest study by Searchmetrics, based on the top ten UK retail sites.
Every company in the top 10 has set up its own official Pinterest page, largely as a result of the image based platform becoming the third biggest social network globally and increasingly responsible for driving traffic towards ecommerce.
ASOS has recently redesigned its homepage to put added emphasis on content marketing, and already has a strong cross-platform strategy when it comes to social.
Here's some more stats that highlight ASOS's success on Pinterest.

Even after seven years of YouTube's existence, brands still aren't making much of a dent in the 'YouTube 5,000', an elite group of channels with at least 43m views each.
Theoretically brands have a much greater advantage than your average YouTuber as they have more money to produce content, however according to Touchstorm's latest study, The Touchstorm Video Index, only 74 of the YouTube 5,000 channels are from brands.
In November 2013 I took a look at YouTube strategy for brands. I revealed some surprises from the research, and recommended some guidance on how brands can improve their YouTube reach.
Yesterday I talked to the SVP of marketing and production at Touchstorm, Sean Womack, about the topic, and he offered the following advice for brands.

Let's say you have a great product or service.
Let's also say that whatever SEO, SMO or PPC strategy you've used (or not used) is successfully driving traffic to your ecommerce site, and that when those potential customers have clicked through to your homepage, or landing page, you're confident that it 'looks good'.
Finally let's say your site even provides a fine user experience. No real complaints. Everything works as it should.
So now what?
Is there anything more you can do to convince that traffic to stay a little while longer? To not bounce straight back to the SERP? To respond to calls-to-action? To increase your conversion rate?

Shazam announced today that it now has more than 400m users globally, driving 15m Shazams (or tags) every day.
This follows Shazam's recent claims that it generates $300m in digital music sales every year, which is 10% of the digital music market.
It has been terribly busy today. The now leading media engagement company has also announced its 'top Shazamed songs of 2013' list, as well as its 'top Shazamed artists of 2013', 'top Shazamed songs driven by television' and '2014's new artists to watch' lists.

As a small business owner you're in a great position to start exploiting social media for all its worth, adding much sought after personalisation and relevance at an integral stage of your development.
Although social media can be a fairly time consuming practice depending on how many platforms you choose to use, it's also the key way for a small business to develop awareness, raise its profile, gauge its market and interact with existing and future customers.
As the UK is celebrating its first Small Business Saturday on December 7 2013, here is the second in a series of posts that takes a look at each individual social media platform in turn (last week we looked at Pinterest for small businesses) and highlights how you can achieve the best from each one.

Oreo was the brand with the highest increase of 'buzz' in 2012, with a 49% higher online chatter than in the previous year.
How did Oreo achieve this and also continue to maintain this high level of engagement?
We've previously discussed on the blog about how Oreo is the king of agile marketing, and it's clear that Oreo has a marketing team that not only has a finger tightly on the pulse, but who can also react with whip-smart efficiency, humour and charm.
Recently I've discovered some more great examples of online marketing (agile and not-so-agile) throughout Oreo's social channels. Each one displaying a strong presence and a keen idea of what its followers expect from the brand. Let's take a look at each one in turn...

This report presents an update on the current situation of pregnancies among girls less than 18 years of age and adolescents 15-19 years of age. The report also covers trends during the last 10 years and variations across geographic, cultural and economic settings, as well as interventions available to minimize pregnancy among adolescents. The report lists evidence for these programmatic approaches, and challenges that nations will have to deal with in the next 20 years given current population momentum. full review
Every day in developing countries, 20,000 girls below age 18 give birth. Nine in 10 of these births occur within marriage or a union. This has consequences on the health, education, employment and rights of an untold millions of girls. What are the challenges of adolescent pregnancy, and what can we do to ensure girls have a healthy and safe transition into adulthood? full review
Violence against women and girls is a pervasive violation of human rights that persists worldwide and cuts across all socio-economic groups. This new collaborative study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the magnitude, nature and context of violence experienced specifically by indigenous girls, adolescents and young women. full review
This report aims to support the work of UNFPA and partners by presenting a background and rationale for engaging men and boys. It illustrates a range of initiatives that have engaged men and boys for the promotion of gender equality as well as sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights. full review
This publication highlights the progress countries have made through their laws and policies to implement the ICPD Programme of Action. It also describes national and international human rights developments on issues related to sexual and reproductive health and rights. full review
This report documents activities of the Joint Programme in its fifth year of implementation in 15 African countries: Burkina Faso, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Somalia,Sudan and Uganda. The report documents achievements in evidence-based strategies identified in 2008. full review
This annual report describes progress made towards the achievement of programming objectives globally and in each region in 2012. UNFPA worked with 156 countries and territories in 2012 to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. full review
Humanitarian organizations must prioritize the sexual and reproductive health needs of displaced adolescents at the earliest opportunity in a crisis to protect young people from sexual violence, sexually transmitted diseases and early pregnancy. This joint report catalogs the results of a year-long study to map adolescent sexual and reproductive health programmes in areas affected by conflict, documents good practices, and provides recommendations to improve access to quality reproductive health care for adolescents in humanitarian settings. full review
This report is a clarion call to decision makers, parents, communities and to the world to end child marriage. It documents the current scope, prevalence and inequities associated with child marriage and highlights that by 2020, Some 142 million girls will be married by their 18th birthday if current trends continue. full review
This report provides key messages on the relationship between population dynamics and sustainable development. It was prepared in the lead-up to Rio+20, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, following extensive consultations and collaborations with thirteen sister agencies, civil society organizations, acedemics and the private sector. It served as the basis for over a dozen briefings and consultations prior to Rio +20. In addition to informing the conference, the report includes important lessons for discussions of the international development goals post-2015. It argues that: Population dynamics have a significant influence on sustainable development. Efforts to promote sustainable development that do not address population dynamics will continue to, fail. Population dynamics are not destiny. Change is possible through a set of policies which respect human rights and freedoms and contribute to a reduction in fertility, notably access to sexual and reproductive health care, education beyond the primary level, and the empowerment of women. full review

Join the Hexayurt Project mailing list for help, tips and supplies!
We now have 13 hexayurt models which have been built and tested and are suitable for a variety of purposes. The shelters share a common feature: they can be made from standard industrial 4'x8' (1.2m x 2.4m) panels from materials like plastic, polyiso insulation, plywood, OSB, sandwich panels and cardboard. In disaster relief applications the hexayurt can cost less than a tent, and be constructed in far larger quantities than tent supplies allow.
Models by Razi Masri of Jumplogic. You can see lots of photographs of completed hexayurt builds too.
At long last, we're beginning to get some real community documentation going. Documenting the hexayurt has always been a big job, and I'm delighted to have some new resources for builders.
Julie Danger's Camp Danger folding hexayurt videos document a really easy way of making folding hexayurts. Julie's videos are by far the easiest way to understand how to make hexayurts, and highly recommended.
Then there's the Nearodesic Tridome Report by the Space Gnomes (who have more regular identities on the report). This is an incredibly useful document, with full structural engineering calculations for the Tridome hexayurt in polyiso under Burning Man conditions. I'm absolutely delighted this research has been done, and I hope you'll download it and give it a look!
George Fisher has created a survivalist's hexayurt guide (I hope he won't mind me calling it that) which is a bridge I've wanted to see built for years. I've always thought that the hexayurt was an integral part of grass roots resilience efforts in earthquake zones and similar places, and it's good to see the system percolating across cultures.
Every red dot on this aerial photo from 2011 is a hexayurt. There are even more in the 2012 aerial picture but it's a little cloudy!
Mouseover for a look at one of the more dense areas in full res. Thanks to Jay Springett for the count!
From this is black rock city
Hi, I'm Vinay Gupta, the inventor of the hexayurt.

Ponti Seafood Grill
Online Reservations
We brought 2 Arizona friends here for a taste of NW seafood without a long drive to Ballard from downtown Seattle for a view. The happy hour in the bar on Sunday was not too crowded, sat by a window overlooking the canal side at the Fremont Bridge, had nice wine and salmon quesadillas - tasty. The mussels were a little overdone, meaning they shrank more than we like, but in delicious broth. Our dinner reservation was right next to the window as requested, dinners were well appreciated and not overloaded, gorgeous presentation and good fish. Great, handsome waiter - he could be in Show biz. Shared 2 desserts, the sorbets came in a delicious almond tuile cup, molded to hold the dessert. Then we showed them the Troll under the bridge, etc.!
Hard to beat an outdoor table with a view of the Fremont Bridge and all of the boats passing by. Food and service are excellent. Try the crab spring roll. This restaurant is consistently very good!
We dined at Ponti's on 9/12/13. We were with a group of 8 people and opted to utilize one of their private rooms. The view was lovely and our service and food were top notch. I found their wine list to be wide ranging and reasonably priced. If I am ever back in Seattle, Ponti's will be on my list again.
We went to Ponti's for our anniversary and stated so in our reservation. They had an anniversary card and rose petals on our table. Food and wine were delicious. Not our first time at Ponti's and it won't be the last.
My girlfriend and I were seated at a table for two next to the window with a good view of the ship canal. She had the Thai Curry Penne with green salad. I had the Beef Tenderloin with King Crag Rangoons. All the food was excellent. The service was very slow. It took 10-15 minutes for a drink to arrive. The wait between courses was longer than it should have been. Our server did his best and was very busy but they appeared to be understaffed for a Friday night. Overall it was a pleasant experience.
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and had a very nice time at Ponti's. The service was excellent and the food was very good. We always enjoy the experience. They do a gift card for special occasions and that encourages us to go otherwise we probably wouldn't because the restaurant is a bit pricey.
Ponti's is one of those rare gems that make Seattle so special! It is set on the canal and hidden back in the trees; that makes it private, quiet and rare. It is also a place that you can dress up or not; but putting on your finery just feels good there! The staff is attentive yet understands that having a "moment" when in deep conversation is ok too. I was asked to choose the restaurant for a first date with a gentleman from Gig Harbor who had expected it to be stuffy and just raved about it... the staff and the food! We each had one of the fish dishes and then split them - both were equally delicious, beautifully presented and done to perfection. Who knows... maybe we'll be coming back for an anniversary date!?
We enjoyed the Dungeness crab eggrolls for an appetizer. I love the Thai Curry Penne and have it every visit. My husband had the seafood stew which was also very good. We enjoy going to Ponti to celebrate special occasions and in the summer the deck seating is very nice.
Ponti lives up to its excellent reputation for fresh, well-prepared seafood.
I am particular about attention and service at a restaurant. Ponti's rises to the occasion. We typically go to Ponti's because of their amazing happy hour...but they performed well for a special occasion event as well (Friday night, make reservations). Well-run, attentive staff, fabulous food. I'll also point out that they were responsive to dietary restrictions and special requests as well.
We found Ponti's through Open Table and loved it. We celebrated an anniversary here and noted so on our reservation. We were greeted with "Happy Anniversary", our table was strewn with rose petals and there was an anniversary card on our table awaiting us. We were given a window table as requested. The view was beautiful with the canal and bridge insight. We were given excellent suggestions of wine by the server as well as the host. The food was excellent. The dining area was small, so noise was kept at a minimum which was nice to enjoy ourselves.
We like Ponti because we know the our meals are going to be good .And we live in the neighborhood. Their seafood is excellant, cooked to perfection.
Loved this place and had no idea since we found it on OpenTable. The previous comments I read did not dissappoint. Seafood is excellent and beautifully prepared. Service was attentive and we had a great time. Recommend if you're looking for seafood in Seattle!
This was our first visit to Ponti, and we were pleasingly taken aback by the ambience of the setting. We read great reviews on Open Table over time and chose to come here for an early dinner before the ballet. It was a warm autumn evening and we chose to dine outside on the heated patio. This was a veritable retreat in a park like setting on the ship canal across from Fremont - an oasis in an otherwise busy section of town. The halibut was delicious, the wait staff attentive. A sweet evening to remember ... almost magical
Very pleasurable evening. Not rushed at all. Excellent menu choices and fabulous food. Especially the chocolate dessert!
Another great evening at Ponti's. The menu never fails to amaze me. Excellent service provided by Kevin. Thank you.
I was not aware of this gem of a restaurant but heard about it through publicity for Seattle restaurant week. I took my 90 year old mother. We had appetizers, entrees and dessert - loved them all. The food and service were fabulous! In addition, the room we were in was not very noisy so my mom was able to hear me while we talked over dinner. This is often a problem in many restaurants. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Some places think that having weird combinations or exotic food makes the food more appetizing but it doesn't for me. I certainly am not saying Ponti's was like diner food but it just had the right mix of entrees and appetizers where everyone could fine something enjoyable to eat that was tastefully done and had a wow factor to it. I would say the meals were what one would expect from fine dining BUT not excessively priced. My entire dinner party loved the place and no doubt I will be back even though I live on the East Side.
My wife and I went to Ponti on the Ship Canal for Seattle restaurant week. It was nice and the food and wine were good. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was a bit stuffy for us but we enjoyed the opportunity. It was nice that the whole menu is available for restaurant week. Parking is interesting in that area.
We went for restaurant week upon a recommendation from a friend. Not only was the food very food, but we brought our 3mo old daughter and they were very accommodating. We arrived 35 min early (a mixup on my part) and they seated us right away, giving us an appropriate spot for our baby carseat. And best of all, when I began nursing my little one at the table, I was met with understanding looks, and no judgement whatsoever. Bravo!
We went for our 28th Anniversary the staff went out of their way to make it special. A truly memorable occassion.
It was everything we expected it be for foodies. There were three of us & we each ordered something different to share. The presentation was a piece of art. And tastes did not disappoint the masterpiece. Every dish was cooked to perfection. Our first course consisted of tender, melt in your mouth clams and mussels in a delicate lemongrass broth, Dungeness crab springrolls that one friend described as organismic, & the beet and chèvre salad was sweet and creamy. For the entree we had the wild halibut that was flaky but succulent, wild coho salmon that was juicy, and a delicious Thai penne pasta. The trio of desserts were to die for - molten chocolate cake, trio of cleansing sorbets, and the tangy lemon tart. It was a meal to remember!
Wonderful food, good service, comfortable quiet atmosphere and in the summer, great outdoor dining.
Went for Seattle's Restaurant Week and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was inside. Very delicious food and friendly staff. Would definitley return for another special occasion.
We reserved a table for 6 to celebrate the birthday of a friend. The food, service, and ambience were all spectacular. Our friends each remarked about how they hadn't been there for a long time and how they had forgotten what a great place it was. Those who had not been there before were so pleased with their experience and said they would return soon.
My husband and I were celebrating our 64th Birthdays with a good friend of 48 years. We wanted to go somewhere out of our local neighborhood and decided on Pontis. I let them know when setting up reservation online that it was our B-day. The wait staff congradulated us on our B-day when we were seated. The table card and rose peddles was a very nice touch as well. Food was also amazingly good. Prices were resonable as well. Thanks for the wonderful evening. We will be back! Burien
We picked Ponti for the great reviews of several people, at an affordable price. I like the fact that each portion of the meal was not priced separately. Two of us had a great entrée which included vegetables and bread, shared an appetizer, and each had a glass of wine for $50 each with tax and tip.....20% for great service.
I've been dining at Ponti since they opened and it has always maintained a high level of quality and service. Of the many menu items I've tried, they are all always excellent. We are also fans of the Cafe Ponti happy hour.
The four of us were coming from different areas around Seattle, and this area was reasonably in the middle for us. None of us had ever been to Ponti before, but what a wonderful surprise! Our food was delicious ... the service was wonderful ... the restaurant is beautiful (and right on the water). We will absolutely be back!
A very enjoyable experience, as usual, though the service got spottier as the evening went on and the place filled up. I'm not sure whether somebody didn't show up for work, communication among service team members got interrupted or what. Certainly not enough to keep us away, or keep us from recommending your very good restaurant but if there were one area of improvement that would be it. We loved the waitress, as we have when she's looked after us in the past, but she did seem spread a bit thin as the evening went on. Great food!
Great dinner at Ponti, again! We took advantage of the Dine Around Seattle promotional 3 course dinners offered this month. We had four different appetizers, four different entrees and four different desserts accompanied by a great bottle of wine suggested by our friendly wine steward, Darrell. We were all well satisfied with plenty of food and drink, good company and another fine dinner at Ponti.
Ponti's Seafood was an excellent choice for a cold damp evening. As you walk in, you get a sense of an upscale neighborhood restaurant that is warm and inviting. Ponti's is not for the blue jean crowd but rather a place of after hours business class. We started with raw oysters and wine, with a great wine selection. Don't hesitate to ask for help from the very knowledgeable wine steward. The regional wine selection included a varied selection of reds and whites. My dinner selection was the King salmon with rissotio and wild mushrooms and was prepared to perfection. Dessert was the apple cider sorbet and the molten chocolate cake. This neighborhood GEM is one not to be missed when in Seattle.
Ponti's is a wonderful Seattle restaurant for a great meal with outstanding service. I highly recommend it. It has wonderful ambiance on the canal in Fremont.
We are visitors from Vancouver BC where there are plenty of top notch restaurants. Ponti struck us with a series of hits as the evening unfolded. The decor and ambience were really impressive, high style in a Euro Chic way ( in my opinion) , then the staff were friendly and helpful , and the murmur of other guests gave the impression of local people laughing and having a great time. The food was a joy, surprising in rich tastes and a sense that the chefs take pride in their cooking. At the end we were delighted and satisfied , with not a single wrong note in the evening. Bravo Ponti!
Ponti continues, throughout the years, to serve up a satisfying and delicious meal.
this is our 6th time here and we love it heidi (our waitress) was excellent
Did the dine around and the menu was extensive and offered a lot of options. We were very happy with our meals and service. It was a little noisy by out table but did not effect our dining experience. We will definitely be back.
Delicious dining experience. We were celebrating my husband's b-d and had a delightful evening. The mango martini left you wanting for more.
We love this place! The food is delicious, service is attentive and prompt, the prices are affordable. Romantic and a wonderful place to meet a small group. I highly recommend this place to family and friends.
I went to Ponti for a birthday celebration with a couple girlfriends and was very impressed. I'd told them it was my birthday when making my reservation, and was greeted at the table with not only birthday wishes, but also rose petals and a birthday card on the table - definitely a nice touch. The food was good; they are committed to using fresh, wild seafood and buying local, which I appreciated. I had albacore tartare, which I enjoyed but would have enjoyed more if it was chilled rather than room temperature; wild mushroom risotto which was fantastic (even for a non-mushroom fan like me; I'd just been craving risotto); and chocolate lava cake, which was divine.
We love Ponti's for wonderful service and great food and delicious drinks!. Only negative was this particular evening the dinning room was chilly. Usually nice. Black cod is sensational! Thank you Ponti's for for attention to your guests!
I hadn't been to Ponti in years, but went there for Dine Around Seattle. It is great as always. The prawns with vodka sauce and fresh made fettucine was amazing, as was the Coho salmon. Nothing was a minute overcooked.
This restaurant has become a Seattle favorite. The food is consistently very good and the service is excellent.
The chicken I had was amazing. The side dishes were excellent. The service started very slow. Sat 10 minutes before served and it took forever to get drinks, but then it improves and was great.
This was our second visit to Ponti -- the first was this past summer when my mother-in-law was visiting, and I chose it based on its Yelp reviews and closeness to my office -- and this was even better. Mom-in-law and her partner wanted a good pre-Thanksgiving dinner and asked for Ponti specifically. They've traveled -- and dined -- all over the world, and said this dinner was among the best they've ever tasted.
Our group of 10 thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. While the temp of the food could have been a bit warmer, it was nonetheless delicious!! The best we've had in the four years we've been enjoying Thanksgiving at Ponti's. Thanks for always accommodating us and making it feel like a home cooked meal without all the fuss!!
We had a great Thanksgiving dinner at Ponti! The food was delicious and our service was very good. The salmon was wonderful!
Ponti's provides a lovely Thanksgiving dinner - excellent turkey and trimmings, beautiful restaurant with great Montlake Cut views, friendly service.
The food was great, from the traditional turkey dinner to the salmon. The group agreed that the pumpkin pie was one of the best ever and creative with the sprinkled pomegranate seeds. the servers were attentive and personal even though it was quite crowded. Fun cocktails - especially the pear martini. Our party included ages from 23 to 87 and everyone had a great time. Thank you!
So much. It was very nice. Perfect for a quiet business dinner and conversation. Food was very good, not quite innovative and 'cheffy' but. Not traditional, classic either. We'd certainly go again and recommend this place.

NEWARK, N.J. -- A 34-year-old New Jersey woman injected a man's penis with silicone, killing him, police said Friday.
The Essex County prosecutor's office says Kasia Rivera gave 22-year-old Justin Street the injection on May 5. Such injections often are used to enlarge body parts, such as the buttocks.
Street died the day after his injection. His death was ruled a homicide following an investigation and a medical examiner's determination he died of a silicone embolism.
Rivera has been charged with manslaughter. She also faces charges involving the unauthorized practice of medicine. She was arrested Friday and is being held on $75,000 bail. It's unclear if she has a lawyer. No telephone listing could be found for her home in East Orange.

SOWEGA C.O.A. holds screenings
ALBANY, GA. -- The SOWEGA Council on Aging launched its Medicare Diabetes Screening Project in Albany today.
Nearly eight out of every ten senior citizens have either Diabetes or pre-Diabetes.
Mayor Willie Adams reminded the group that diabetes screenings are always free to Medicare recipients.
Diabetes has been called the 'silent killer' because it has virtually no symptoms.
But the disease is very treatable and preventable.
"There are so many people that live a sedentary lifestyle but if you get out and exercise and if you eat right, you can manage diabetes," said Maurice Madden of the Medicare Diabetes Screening Project.
Tuesday marks the American Diabetes Association Alert Day.

Why ads?To celebrate the Corvette's 60th anniversary and the final year for this production C6 car, Chevy is offering a number of unique options including a 60th Anniversary Design Package, black-painted aluminum wheels and a special 427 Convertible Collector Edition complete with 7.0-liter V8, Magnetic Ride Control and carbon-fiber hood, fenders and floor.
While the base Corvette and Corvette Grand Sport trims receive some minor interior upgrades, the big news for the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette is found on the Corvette Z06 and Corvette ZR1 models. The Corvette Z06 is available with an enhanced Z07 Performance Package with race-track-ready Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires and a new Performance Traction Management system, which manages torque delivery to put all that power to the pavement. The Corvette ZR1 receives these same upgrades in the new PDE performance package.
Almost as if no sports cars ever came before it, the all-new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is untouchable. You can't get this much horsepower (455) at this much price ($52,000) anywhere else. Striking a look that stirs our "American Supercar" vapors in coupe and convertible form, and a 2-seat interior soaked in leather, aluminum and carbon fiber, the new Corvette has the power to make you forget your crush on a Porsche 911 or Audi R8 – all for the price of a Porsche Cayman or an Audi TTS. The new Corvette will fulfill your desires whether you just need to pick up another quart of Monster from the 7-11 or you want to trim another second off your lap time on track day.

Capacity management may not be quite dead, but the days of making periodic decisions using trending models are. Financial services organizations are radically changing how they plan and manage infrastructure to cope with the complexity of large-scale virtual and cloud environments and prevent the over-provisioning that results from old school planning models. The focus has shifted toward approaches that model demand "pipelines" and forecast based on capacity bookings, which more resembles a hotel reservation system than traditional capacity management. This is creating a whole new operational model that enables infrastructure planners, application owners and capacity teams to measure, control and plan for the constant flow of workloads in and out of an environment (on-boarding and de-commissioning), as well as organic growth (trending), all while optimizing workload placements and resource allocations to ensure optimal use of available capacity.
Why Smart Banks Are Shifting from Products to People
The Future of the Financial Industry: Banking on Customer Engagement Small corner banks and large multinational institutions alike are facing a rapidly changing environment. Recent regulations are requiring more carefully managed risk, and banks are under increasing pressure to find new sources of revenue. And customers are more empowered—they're demanding a more personalized experience. Watch this webcast with experts from IBM and Frost & Sullivan to find out how banks can put the customer at the center of their business in order to enhance collaboration, improve efficiency, and most importantly, grow the value of each customer relationship.
Aligning Finance, Risk and Treasury Operations: Is Your Financial Institution Prepared for the Impact of New Regulations?
The combination of pending regulations, including Basel III and Dodd-Frank, with an increasingly uncertain business environment has led to the realization within the financial services industry that the disciplines of enterprise risk management, liquidity risk management, performance management and compliance are interrelated business obligations. Despite the market challenges, financial institutions must now devise a sustainable return to growth and at the same time be better protected against new or emerging risks.

Cloud Client Computing in K-12: Tips for Supporting 21st Century Education Cloud client computing has the potential to transform computer-based learning in K12 education. Executed well, cloud solutions can open the door to any-device learning and to BYOD options. Yet IT departments need to maintain a certain measure of control over the environment.
Dashboard Technology That Can Drive Better Decisions and Grow With Your Organization
As data volumes continue to grow exponentially, dashboards remain an incredibly important part of a financial institution's use of data for business efficiency and monitoring. Lately, the demand for dashboards has grown from all sides of the organization. However, with new demand, comes extra complexity in expectations, new needs and extra time requirements for developers. Gone are the days of static reports and dashboards.
Live Event: How Market Participants Can Prevent and Respond To Technology Errors In Real-Time
On October 2, the SEC is holding a market technology roundtable focusing on best practices to ensure adequate testing and use of software systems. The SEC is hoping to determine out the best way to respond to errors in the marketplace, given the speed with which a single error can snowball into market mayhem. Following a number of incidents this year, including Nasdaq's botched Facebook IPO, BATS' failed IPO and Knight Capital's $400 million software disaster, market structure and software testing has become an even higher priority for market participants.
Delivering optimized outcomes with advanced case management at Union Bank
How labor and document intensive are your organization's back office processes? Banks have embarked on initiatives to automate and streamline these processes. Some operations, however, have inherent complexities that require new approaches. After struggling with custom applications to support its personal and corporate customers, Union Bank found itself buried in paper for multiple processes, backoffice rework, branch bags, and unable to track work being completed. These challenges led to extensive rework, manual tracking, and compliance risks.
Terms of Transformation: Rethinking Core Policy System Replacement
Decades of experience have made insurers wary of legacy policy administration replacement initiatives due to highly publicized failures. In recent years modern rules-and-tools systems have gone a long way toward mitigating the risks associated with traditional, monolithic systems while providing increased flexibility and product speed-to-market. Nevertheless, insurers continue to struggle to separate hype from reality in vendor promises and to make sense of an emerging range of options, from best-of-breed and componentized suites to emerging cloud-based delivery options. In order to be able to make a compelling business case today, insurance executives must not only understand the merits of available solution options and implementation approaches, but also think more in terms of business, rather than technology, transformation as enabled through the construction of a holistic technology environment.
Turn FATCA and Compliance into a Business Opportunity
Financial services organizations still have time to implement a successful and sustainable Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) solution given the timing:
Next Generation Messaging Technology: Helping Firms Trade Smarter and Reduce Costs
The need for the right messaging middleware is more important than ever, as more buy-side firms and broker/dealers seek robust electronic trading strategies with unfailing system reliability and pre-trade analytics to make better trading decisions. But this need comes at a time when technology spending is declining across the capital markets, as firms try to cut costs but still fund strategic new projects. The right messaging middleware can meet all of these challenges.
Managing the Data Deluge, the Pros and Pitfalls of Solid-State Storage
As databases continue to expand at an exponential rate, financial organizations are challenged to find ways to efficiently analyze the data in a timely manner. With no end in the proliferation of data, how can firms use all of the data in their data warehouses? Just storing the data doesn't provide any value. Analyzing the data for better customer service, new products or to respond to regulatory queries is how firms can get more value from their data. But given all of the business challenges, how can IT organizations respond to the data analytics needs from various business units without adding massive amounts of CPU processing power?
Engineering The Customer-Centric Insurance Enterprise
The consumerization of business has pointed the way to a relationship-oriented future for commerce, including insurance-related transactions. The rapidity and pervasiveness of public adoption of anytime-anywhere computing has also shown that insurers must take a holistic, architectural approach to customer-orientation and that piece-meal, point solution-oriented efforts will not result in competitive positioning in the marketplace. With the right design philosophy and the right technology, insurers can recast their processes to create a rewarding relationship between insurers and their customers, finding the right balance of automation and high-touch service, and creating an atmosphere of mutual benefit for all participants — while significantly increasing efficiency and productivity.
Strategies for Optimizing the Mobile Customer Experience
Mobile banking has evolved so much and become such a prominent channel in its brief lifespan that it is hard to define it as "emerging" anymore. With various reports indicating anywhere from 15-20 percent of the banking population engaging in mobile, it is becoming an ever-larger segment of the customer base. Yet many banks still haven't mastered the mobile customer experience.

Composers love expressing their creativity and prefer working in organized environments that are detail-oriented. They have distinct preferences that both err on the side of chaos and security. Their artistic side craves freedom and expression. At the same time, they like to reign in their creative tendencies with organization and systems that keep their originality within certain boundaries.
I started a business in my final year of university. It was incredibly hard work, and I made more mistakes than I can count, but I have really fond memories of the experience.A lot of the lessons I learned have carried with me, and experiencing failure (the company folded after a year and a half) taught me to not be afraid of it. Your early years are an ideal time for experimenting with this - the penalty for failure is so much lower.
I've never had formal training as a programmer, but I started hacking things together from a very early age. There's something incredibly rewarding about seeing something go from an idea in your head to a real, usable thing. Some of my best weekends ever have been the ones where I was holed up in a dorm room with a stack of red bulls and a hotline to the nearest pizza chain, racing against the clock to prototype some zany idea

PHP Content Management System (phpCMS) makes it possible to need only one template for your whole Web site. It allows you to provide dynamic menus with unlimited levels, and use templates and sub-templates without a database. It is search engine-friendly and proxy-friendly, as the pages it generates can not be distinguished from static HTML pages. PHP code can be added to any template and content file with an optional module. It supports the caching of parsed pages and gzip compression.
RemoteBox is a graphical tool which lets you administer guests or virtual machines running under VirtualBox on a remote server or even your local machine if desired. You may, for example, have a root server on the Internet, a server at home, or a server at work running VirtualBox but want to have the convenience of managing the guests easily from your local machine. The virtual machines run in headless mode, which means you don't need an active graphical display on the server but you can still connect and view the displays of the guests. The goal of RemoteBox is to provide a GUI that should be familiar to VirtualBox users while allowing them to administer a remote installation of VirtualBox. It does this via the VirtualBox API and SOAP interface, which are exposed when running the VirtualBox Web service. You can also use RemoteBox simply as an alternative interface for managing VirtualBox on your local machine.

The Age Question (continued)
Brad suggested I write this post. I've been reluctant because I don't want to pick at this scab of a meme. I really don't want to be the guy who made it harder for anyone older than 30 to get funded in the web services market.
But I've been thinking about all the young entrepreneurs we are seeing walk through our offices. I've been thinking about Mark Zuckerberg, Rob Kalin, all the ycombinator entrepreneurs, and the 15 year olds who are hacking up facebook apps. You can't ignore it. There is something fundamental and important going on.
The answer lies in Marc Andreessen's words of wisdom about the web:
After an initial phase of the Web as a medium, in which lots of people attempted to make the Web look like a newspaper, or a magazine, or a TV channel, we as an industry have recently been collectively developing a much clearer idea of what the Web is really like as a medium in and of itself.
This has led to broad realization of a set of design patterns for how Web services and Web companies often get built and used.
Who is developing this "clearer idea"? Who is developing the set of "design patterns"? It's the younger generation. And its important to understand why.
It is incredibly hard to think of new paradigms when you've grown up reading the newspaper every morning. When you turn to TV for your entertainment. When you read magazines on the train home from work.
But we have a generation coming of age right now that has never relied on newspapers, TV, and magazines for their information and entertainment. They are the net natives. They grew up in AOL chatrooms, IMing with their friends for hours after dinner, and went to school with a Facebook login.
The Internet is their medium and they are showing us how it needs to be used.
Now don't get me wrong. We've only funded one of these net natives out of close to fifteen portfolio companies. We'll certainly fund more. There's a lot more we look for in an investment than a 23 year old design whiz.
But the truth is that some of the most interesting things I've seen this month and this year are the creations of kids who barely shave. And it's not an accident.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A Colorado Springs resident has died after being shot Saturday night.
Springs Police were originally called to a home on N. Nevada Avenue around 10:00 p.m. for an accidental shooting.
The victim, 27-year-old James Crouch, was taken to Penrose Main Hospital where he died Sunday morning.
Police said their initial investigation showed Crouch, and 22-year-old David McRea, were looking at guns when Crouch was accidentally shot in the chest by a gun McRea was holding.
McRea has since been arrested on charges of second degree assault and manslaughter.
This is the tenth homicide in Colorado Springs this year.
Anyone with additional information on the shooting is asked to call police at 444-7000 or text them at TIP411.

How to Interpret Gov. LePage's Approval Ratings
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Wed, 05/18/2011 - 5:14pm.Three polls have been released in the last two weeks in which Maine voters were asked to express their opinion of Paul LePage and his performance as governor. Many are pointing to the most recent, a Critical Insights survey showing LePage's approval rating at 31%, as evidence that support for the governor has quickly plummeted.
The real answer to how the public views LePage and his time in office is much more complicated.
First, let's look at the results.
Dill Crushes Maietta, Wins Maine Senate District
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Wed, 05/11/2011 - 7:33am.Despite a close race for the District in 2010, Democratic Representative Cynthia Dill beat former Republican Representative Louie Maietta by a more than two-to-one margin on May 10 to win the Senate District 7 special election.
With 5,056 to Maietta's 2,405, Dill won in all three towns in the district, winning by the most in Maietta's home town of South Portland.
LePage Reveals Allegations Against Maine Commissioner
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Wed, 05/04/2011 - 5:06pm.Acting on a Freedom of Access request I filed last week, the LePage administration has now released the letter that Representative John Martin (D - Eagle Lake) sent to the governor complaining about the actions of then-DECD Commissioner Phillip Congdon during his visit to Aroostook County last month.
Here's the text of the letter:
Dear Governor LePage:
Legislator's Complaint Prompted Congdon Resignation
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Wed, 04/27/2011 - 3:57pm.The resignation of Phillip Congdon from his position as commissioner of the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development came after Representative John Martin (D - Eagle Lake) sent a letter to the governor informing him of remarks allegedly made by Congdon while at a local event in Caribou.
Martin characterized Cogdon's comments as "out of character for a public official, racist in nature for some of them, and some were anti-Aroostook."
Two LePage Cabinet Members Resign Amid Controversy
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Wed, 04/27/2011 - 11:20am.Two members of Governor Paul LePage's cabinet, Economic and Community Development Commissioner Philip Congdon and DEP Commissioner Darryl Brown, resigned Wednesday after each was involved in separate controversies.
Congdon, LePage's commissioner for the Department of Economic and Community Development, is alleged to have made a racist comment at a meeting in Aroostook County. Though the topic is being discussed in the halls of the statehouse Wednesday, full details have yet to emerge.
Maine's Pot Politics
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Wed, 04/20/2011 - 8:38am.Portland Representative Dianne Russell is holding a rally and press conference this morning to formally announce the introduction of LD 1453, legislation to legalize and tax marijuana in Maine.
Maine Senate Special Election Takes Shape
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Thu, 04/07/2011 - 8:09am.With the selection of Rep. Cynthia Dill at a Democratic caucus on Tuesday and the selection of former Rep. Louis Maietta by local Republicans the day before, the candidate field for the District 7 Senate special election to replace retiring Senator Larry Bliss seems set.
Maine Governor LePage is His Own Worst Enemy
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Wed, 03/30/2011 - 8:47am.The biggest problem Governor Paul LePage faces isn't the Legislature. His party has a majority in both Houses.
It isn't a budget deficit, something he proved by introducing a budget that increases spending while cutting taxes, mostly on Maine's wealthy.
The problem isn't his Democratic opposition, unions, environmentalists or public interest groups. They'll work to stop some of his policies, but they no longer have the muscle to set the agenda in Augusta.
Maine Governor LePage's New TV Show: A Review
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Thu, 03/24/2011 - 11:02pm.Governor LePage has a new television show, airing on Time Warner Cable across the state and available online. For a governor distrustful of the media (LePage recently said that "buying a Maine daily newspaper is like paying someone to lie to you") it's a way to get his message out in a scripted, edited and favorable way.
Democratic Senator Resigns, Election Looms
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Tue, 03/15/2011 - 4:06pm.State Senator Larry Bliss, a Democrat representing South Portland, Cape Elizabeth, and part of Scarborough, announced Tuesday that he will be resigning his seat in order to take a job at California State University.
Bliss has served in the legislature for eleven years and was well known for his role as Senate chair of the Judiciary Committee during the last Legislature, where he oversaw hearings on LD 1020, the equal marriage bill, which saw attendance in the thousands.
