Biologist Rob Dunn: Why I Like Science
As a biologist at North Carolina State University, Rob Dunn studies the complex and diverse world of ants. In addition, he's part of a fascinating—and, to some, slightly disgusting—project looking at the diversity of microbes that live in the human belly button. Here at Smithsonian, we know Dunn because he's also a great science writer. Dunn is the author of two books (Every Living Thing and The Wild Life of Our Bodies) and numerous magazine and web articles, including several of my recent Smithsonian favorites—"The Mystery of the Singing Mice," "The Top Ten Daily Consequences of Having Evolved" and "The Untold Story of the Hamster, a.k.a. Mr. Saddlebags." Even better, Dunn was a great sport when I asked him why he liked science:
No one can tell you for sure what the appendix does. No one knows how deep into the Earth life goes. No one knows how high into the sky life goes. No one is sure what the mites that live on human foreheads do, though they are there while you are reading.
Most species on Earth remain unnamed, not to mention totally unstudied. New species are easy to find in Manhattan, walking around alongside celebrities. No one can tell me what the species of bacteria living on my body, hundreds of species, are doing. No one can say for sure if there is another, yet to be discovered, domain of life. Parasites in my body might be affecting my behavior, and even the sorts of things I write late at night.
There are ant species that farm fungus in the Amazon. There are beetle species that farm fungus in my backyard. Both do so with greater sophistication than I or any other human can farm fungus. No one is sure why weaver ants have green abdomens. No one knows why we have specialized glands in our armpits that feed bacteria that produce the smells we think of as body odor. No one is sure why we have such large sinuses. There exists active discussion about why our bodies are warm and not cold.
There is a bacteria species that lives in hot water heaters, but nowhere else yet studied on Earth. Hummingbirds can bend their beaks in the middle using muscles in their head, but no one has checked to see whether other birds can do the same thing. Most mice on Earth might be singing, but only a few have been listened to.
I like to do and write about biology for these reasons, because in biology most of what is knowable is still unknown, because in biology we are still ignorant, because in biology the very body I use to type these words, with its crooked fingers and twisty mind, is only partially, modestly, understood, because biology will never fully be understood, because biology is a tapestry being unraveled, because the lives of the people unraveling the stories are, even when superficially humble and human, always fascinating, because biology is like biography with better characters, because I find deep and wondrous joy in biology, because even when an editor writes me late at night to ask why I write about and do biology my first response is to smile at how much I love biology, smile and wonder, the way we all wonder before the grandeur of the stars but sometimes forget to wonder before the grandeur of life.
If you'd like to participate in our Why I Like Science series, send a 200- to 500-word essay to firstname.lastname@example.com; I'll publish the best entries in future posts on Surprising Science.

Rob Dunn,
My first response to your essay was a smile. :)
Thanks for the fun and fascinating essay. -

The water heater bacterium is most interesting! I wonder if its relatives/ancestors live in hot springs?
Loved your first sentence. I've always wondered whether it was really true, that additional information can be found in the appendix.

Economic Indicators to Include Focus on Pensions
In what most people would call a significant announcement, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis ("BEA") will begin measuring economic growth this summer by taking pension finance into account. According to its March 2013 announcement, BEA will record defined benefit plan transactions on an accrual accounting basis. This entity, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, will now include a pension plan subsector in the national income and product accounts ("NIPAs"). As much as possible, the BEA will "provide estimates of the current receipts, current expenditures, and cash flow for the subsector." The intended changes contrast with the current method of including information about disbursements and earnings of pension plans as participants' personal items and using a cash basis for reporting.
The goal of enhancing transparency about employer-provided defined benefit retirement plans is laudable. However, in reading the fine print, one wonders if the opposite will occur and users of post-implementation data will be more confused. For one thing, the BEA states that it will adopt an accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") for "both privately sponsored and state and local government sponsored plans" and use a projected benefit obligation ("PBO") for federal government plans. This means that you will never be able to compare all defined benefit plans with a single set of rules. Second, the BEA describes a discount rate assumption that "will be based on the AAA corporate bond rate published by the Federal Reserve Board." Since debt issued by the U.S. is no longer rated AAA and recent regulations allow for temporary funding relief for corporate pension plans, how will BEA numbers compare and contrast with financial accounting numbers over time? Third, since certain data is not available prior to 2000, the BEA will extrapolate to generate "normal costs" for past years. Will their method of extrapolation allow for an accurate "apples to apples" assessment of historical pension earnings and costs? In the plus column, applying the same discount rate for private pension plans versus state and local offerings will help to better assess the economic viability for each sector.
Should the Public Employee Pension Transparency Act move forward, disclosures will be based on the BEA approach. Understanding what BEA numbers do or do not show will therefore be a critical exercise for policy-makers, investors and participants.
For a detailed discussion of these intended changes on the part of the BEA, read "Preview of the 2013 Comprehensive Revision of the National Income and Product Accounts: Changes in Definitions and Presentations," BEA, March 2013. Click to read about advantages of passing the Public Employee Pension Transparency Act. Click here to read criticisms of this proposed rule. On April 23, 2013, the U.S. Senate received a version of the Public Employee Pension Transparency Act in the form of S. 779. This proffered legislation cites a staggering $5.170 trillion in pension liabilities of the 50 states combined. It is no wonder that numerous individuals want a true tally of what is owed.

30 May 2012
At the first meeting of CCBC's Cabinet since the Local Elections, councillors agreed to allocate £400,000 for the maintenance of community assets.
The funding will be used on a wide range of schemes to help improve our towns and villages such as tackling vandalism, repairing benches, replacement of damaged street furniture, landscaping and other small items of maintenance work.
Cllr. David Poole, the new Cabinet Member for Community and Leisure Services said, "This allocation of funding reflects the ambitions of the council to keep the county borough clean and attractive and to support local communities in their efforts to maintain and enhance their local area. The works will help make a big difference and the resulting improvements far outweigh the actual money spent."
The funding will come from the Welsh Government Deprivation Grant, and will be used on many projects to improve the look and feel of the streets throughout the borough.
£100,000 of the allocated funding will be used by a special 'Community Response Team' to attend to items that are not normally picked up in other mainstream budgets, for example the replacement of vandalised street furniture.
Ongoing improvement projects have already helped the Caerphilly County Borough become a more attractive place for and this will be enhanced by new investment to improve the main entrance points to key attractions in the area.
Funds will also be assigned to Community Partnership projects, and the maintenance of community initiated schemes. This will help to take small projects forward and empower local communities.
Funding has also been allocated to support action to resolve on-going problems encountered in rural areas across the borough – so called Landscape Crimes.
"All these projects will help us create an attractive, well-kept county borough and enhance a sense of community pride", added Cllr Poole.
Caerphilly StreetPride
Caerphilly StreetPride brings together the services that help keep Caerphilly county borough clean, green and safe. Our aim is to work with you to keep our streets and neighbourhoods at a standard that promotes pride and community responsibility.

Sympathy for Britney
I read that Jay Leno was making fat jokes.
Jay Leno? What does he look like in the equivalent outfit? No, don't tell me.
Adipose tissue
Is the issue
That fascinates the modern mind.
Pray for its destruction
Through fast or liposuction.
Muscles must be perfectly defined!

I actually enjoy Britney's "It's My Prerogative" immensely! :) And, perhaps, I am well-within her target demographic. :) - 12:26 AM

I suppose you are! :)
- Old Zeke said...
I object! It's no use to point out that the critics themselves are out of shape. Movie critics aren't filmmakers; food critics aren't chefs; and critics of popular culture are neither sex symbols nor singers.
Now what was the intended effect of Britney's performance? A display of her singing prowess? I daresay not...she was lip-synching, and rather badly at that.
A dance performance then? By all accounts, she didn't even attempt much of the planned choreography, and stumbled through what little she did attempt.
So what are we left with? Britney prancing around in promiscuous dress, mouthing lyrics to a song of promiscuous theme. That is to say, "Look at me--I'm sexy!"
Is it so unruly, then, for critics to respond as they have? "Actually, Britney, as sex symbols go, you're not that spectacular."
On a related note, I recall seeing one video clip (forgive me for following this rubbish) in which Britney says to a photographer, "Get a job, lardass."
Criticism well-deserved, I say. - 4:17 PM
- JohnJEnright said...
Old Zeke, you make some good points.
So for the sake of research, I looked on YouTube at a couple of Britney performances, comparing a video from 2000 with the recent MTV awards fiasco.
By comparison with 2000, her dancing was off, and she barely seemed to be trying. On grainy YouTube, I couldn't tell how bad her lip-synching was, but I'll take on trust it was awful. Now that I've seen it, I totally agree that it was a terrible performance on her part.
And she's definitely heavier than she was in her 2000 performance. I still wouldn't say she was fat in the everyday sense of the word. But she did look fat next to all those super-svelte professional dancers! - 6:54 PM

text: Some say there is no such thing as clutch and that the sample sizes are too small. This is utterly ridiculous. The brain controls the body and when the brain is not clicking on all cylinders, concentration suffers. What is more important to good hitting than concentrating? This is clearly a man who is thinking more about why he sucks in the clutch than he is about concentrating on the baseball and hitting it properly. Whether it's squeezing the bat or shaking in his shoes, I'm not sure, but this is a guy who leaves a load in his pants as well as on the bases when a big game is on the line

For those who wonder how you can tell the difference between those two states of your dough, here's a simple explanation with visuals that should clarify the differences.
STICKY: Pressing your hand in the dough, it sticks and stretches. When it does release, your hand is still covered in a fair bit of dough. This would be acceptable for soft doughs like Ciabatta.
TACKY: Although pressing your hand on the dough is still causing it to stick, it easily releases without leaving much dough , if any, on your hand.
Be careful not to go too far; a little sticky is good, you do not usually want it to be completely non-sticky. That would mean your dough is too dry. Avoid the idea that you need to keep your hands "clean" of dough: this is bread making and it should generally be expected to be a little gummy. That's OK. If you're aiming for a clean, non-sticky dough, you'll have a tight, dense bread. This is fine if you're making bagels which should be a little dense. Generally, this is not the aim for most bread doughs, some even want to be very soft and sticky to produce the right crumb in the finished bread.
So don't try for "neatness". There will be and should be a little mess. If this goes against your personal values… you'll just need to fight that urge.
You may find that kneading on the counter, you constantly keep adding a little more flour to keep the dough from sticking to the surface but again, this can cause problems. That "little bit more flour" you keep adding can change the dough's hydration by quite a bit. I generally knead on the bare counter and, yes, it is sometimes sticky for the first few minutes. Using a scraper, I can collect the stuck dough and get it back into production and as I work, the gluten develops and the dough becomes less sticky without needing to add extra flour.
When in doubt, aim for wetter than dryer.

Can you lose weight without exercising?
YES! You can lose weight without exercising.
Eating fewer calories than the body needs will cause weight loss.
HOWEVER! Exercising AND eating less is a better and a faster way to manage body weight.
KEY POINT: People with more muscle are able to consume more

Really appreciate the attendant that had to work Thanksgiving
It was easy to find and close the stadium .
Garage was clean and well taken care of. Attendant was friendly and courteous.
Great that it was open at 9am so I could make it to tailgate. Bad that it was far from the stadium & it was frreeeezing!! Wish there was a shuttle bus or something. Price was affordable & reasonable.thank you.
Parking was convenient for Ravens game... about 20 minute walk. Safe area and plenty of empty spaces. The signage could have been clearer. The signs on S. Gay street did not say Inner Harbor Center Garage. We went through the entrance on the next cross street. Location allowed us to avoid all the traffic getting out of Baltimore going past the stadium...we took a longer route going through Fells Point to get to 95 south, but we did not sit in traffic.
Easy enough. Just handed them the printed out ticket on the way out.
This is a covered parking garage about 1 block north of the harbor. This location is located just a few blocks from Harborplace and the Baltimore Community College.

Located approximately 30 miles south of downtown Chicago, Park Forest (population 21,975) is part of both Cook and Will Counties. It is bordered by Chicago Heights, Matteson, Olympia Fields, Richton Park and University Park. Interstate Highway 57 is less than three miles to the west and the Calumet Expressway eight miles to the east, provide access to all of the major highways in the Chicago area. Both Midway and OHare airports are less than an hour away. Park Forest residents have easy access to three Metra commuter rail line stations. Metra trains make 80 daily trips to downtown Chicago. During rush hour, this trip can take as little as 50 minutes.
The communitys original master plan ensured convenient commercial centers, a child-safe curvilinear street system, a business and light industrial park and multiple, scattered school and recreational facilities.
Park Forests first homes were multi-family rental units for the returning servicemen. Many of the early rentals were later converted to housing cooperatives but a large number remained rentals. Park Forest was recognized by The Chicago Sun-Times as a leader in affordable housing and by Chicago Magazine as a "great neighborhood."
During the early 1950s, thousands of small single-family "starter-homes" were built. Later, a third building surge saw the production of larger, two story homes, some with four or five bedrooms. But for nearly 40 years, Park Forest remained a somewhat transient community. Families who sought larger, move-up homes had to look elsewhere. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Village encouraged the development of larger housing in an attempt to round out its housing stock. Today, of the nearly 9,600 housing units, about 5,700 are single-family homes. Another 3,880 are multi-family units, of which almost 2,000 are cooperatives. In addition, scores of original starter homes have been enlarged over the years to fit the needs of todays homeowners.
From its inception, Park Forest was one of the few communities without restrictive covenants. Although pioneer residents represented religious but not racial diversity, within ten years of incorporation, the Village began a Human Relations Commission, adopted a Fair Housing Ordinance and actively sought racial diversity. The Village did not follow the pattern so prevalent in Chicagos neighborhoods and suburbs of white flight and racial resegregation. Today, Park Forests minority population (African-Americans, Asians and Hispanics) represents 47 percent of the total. With more than 19 places of worship and a nearly 50-year commitment to fair housing, all ages, races and religious groups call Park Forest home.
Park Forests greatest amenities are recreational, cultural and the high level of service provided by its local government. The 2,000 acres of parks, recreation facilities and open land in Park Forest are the largest per capita in Illinois. In addition to numerous playgrounds, ball fields, ice rinks and picnic facilities, the Village contains 26 tennis courts and one of the largest outdoor swimming complexes in the state. The Villages pioneers planted trees in both parks and along the Villages developing road system. The urban forest has now matured, along with the Village. Today, despite the challenge of maintenance, it provides an enormous asset to the Village.

Step 9: Finish
Very pleased with the result.
1-40 of 47 | Next » |
last one was iroko which i was very carefull with ...i was aiming at 35 pounds at 28 inches ........it broke at about 33 pounds at 28 inches.......
so im rethinking all of this.......ive been attempting the longbow concept that bends through the handle but yesterday i glued a riser on a piece of iroko and will attempt again with this new method.......i build as long as my wood will allow........the oak was 6 ft long..........the iroko are both 70 inches as i get two equal staves out of one piece of wood.......i think one of my mistakes is that im starting with my rough shape to thin and not leaving enough timber to reach my desired draw weights.......not sure what im learning but will get it right eventually.................i believe breaking bow may in the long run be more educational than it seems...... ...."a fully drawn bow is a 7/8 ths broken bow"
A bow should be 'exercised' on the tillering bar, pulling it to varying degrees starting from light to greater bends as you progress. It wouldn't hurt to flex the bow at least a dozen times at each stage of shaping. In the end, it doesn't hurt to tiller a couple inches beyond your target draw. That can help prevent failure if the bow is over drawn. Such tillering can also reduce string follow.
To the many comments about what type of wood to use, hark back to the beginning of this build along. He recommends a red oak board. You can find these anywhere lumber is sold, they are not expensive and just the thing to make a bow until you improve your technique. Learn to make a good bow first before going on to more exotic- and expensive- woods.
Another thought on backing came from another site. It recommended using layers of the drywall net stuff for seams and patching built up in layers with wood glue. It's durable, cheap and easy to make, and works.
This bow is designed for a 28 inch draw, for it's 68 inch length, so if you measure your draw, and keep the ratio. ie. multiply your draw by 2.4 to get the new bow length, you should be fine.
In your addendum you comment on references to backing the bow. I agree that it is not necessary but, disagree that it adds nothing to it. You are correct that it can help prevent or at least minimize any failure. But, properly backed it can help reduce the string follow almost inherent in any bow like this.
A possibly better solution for your string wrapping of your string knocks might be rawhide. A simple source of that are dogs rawhide "chew bones." You can get them in various thicknesses. Just toss one in a bucket and unroll them when good and wet. Cut strings of the thinner stuff while wet and lash it on. As it dries, it will shrink and harden. When fully dry, anything you have attached thus isn't going anywhere! Native Americans used rawhide to fasten anything they didn't want to come apart. They even repaired rifle stocks this way some of which are still holding after more than a century.
One more observation. You tillered to form but that's all. A bow should be 'exercised' on the tillering bar pulling it to varying degrees starting from light to greater bends as you progress. It wouldn't hurt to flex the bow at least a dozen times at each stage of shaping. In the end, it doesn't hurt to tiller a couple inches beyond your target draw. That can help prevent failure if the bow is over drawn. Such tillering can also reduce string follow.
The grain is beautiful in the pic.
Especially with the wrapping. It's such natural look.
Yew is the traditional wood, but i've read that Orange Osage works well too, and is easier to find. I know that American ash and lemon wood also work. Any kind of hard wood is good (in terms of species and physical properties). It should be as untreated and dry as possible. See this great page on making a longbow for more info. You can also use a high-compression wood and make a cable-backed bow (literally glue a high-tension reinforcement to the back)
Quick question: what did you use for string?
Great 'ible by the way. I shall begin work on my bow with the next trip to the hardware store!
I'm actually working on a very similar bow out of a small oak tree I cut down for it. is it worth putting in any more work if the wood cracked while drying, or should I just scrap the project and use your method instead?
As far as ebony, it is super heavy and always seems brittle. That is just my opinion. Maybe the ebony you can get can flex more.

Trader Vic's - Los Angeles
Online Reservations
Since Trader Vic's is a chain, we were not expecting great food. The Mai Tais were excellent! The appetizers were just OK (coconut shrimp and crab Rangoon). We really enjoyed the entees though. The wood fired pork chop with cherry sauce was huge, tender and delicious. The seafood parradilla was also excellent. It included two large scallops, two shrimp, a mall piece of salmon and sea bass on a bed of spinach. The sauce was outstanding. We took half of our entrees home since the portions were large. I would recommend Trader Vic's and will be back.
We had purchased a TravelZoo discount coupon for dinner here at Trader Vic's. The deal was great - 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 drinks at a discounted price. We had the combination pupu platter and the coconut prawns, which were very tasty. I had the Seared Tuna, and my hubby had the surf and turf. I've had the seared tuna before, so I knew it would be delicious - and it was again! We had their signature Mai Tai, then I tried their Navy Grog (which was suggested by our waiter) - it had a nice spicy flavor to it. I like almost any drink with Rum! Our server was great and always made sure we had what we needed - drinks, water, etc. We will definitely return again and again - even though it is a long journey for us from home.
The drinks are large, potent and tasty. And if nothing else, the Filet Mignon was one of the best I've had in years.
Located in LA Live, across from Staples Center. We were there for a concert and with a 3-course meal and paying we were able to make it there on time in a little over an hr. Pretty chill vibe at the restaurant and great food and drinks.
I keep forgetting about Trader Vic's as it is on the other side of the big open square at L.A. Live . What a fun dinner we had with all small bites. Food was wonderful. Drinks are fun. It was quite crowded before the Beyonce concert so everyone was in a great mood. Yummmm.....
Food was great , rice was sticky. Waiters very on it with drinks and refills
Really enjoyed the food and the presentation. Nice waiter. He was very attentive. I'll be back!
Our first time dining at Trader Vic's before a concert at Staples Center. Food and service were excellent, we will return!
I love everything at the restaurant, including the bar. Just a special note, remember there are two restaurants, the dining area and the casual area. Food from one menu does not transfer from one side of the building to the other. I prefer the casual menu, so make sure you are seated where you can get what you want.
Got our Travelzoo deal, so it was totally a steal. Our service was great! Our food was delish/
I really enjoyed it! The staff was very friendly. Food was good and the drinks were fantastic! I recommend it and hope to return.
One of the best places at LA Live to eat. Great atmosphere, cool bar - worth the visit!
Trader Vic's was a great start to a our getaway - Celebrating my wife's birthday and our 35th anniversary with a combo dinner, American Idol concert and hotel. Sat in front of the wood fire grill and watched the chef prepare the meals through the glass; very personal and warm, responsive service. My wife had the Seafood Parrillada and I had the Mauna Kea Beef - would recommend both.
Food and drinks were great. For being in a tourist-y, event driven location, I felt the menu was reasonably priced. No complaints about portions! Our server was a get-down-to-business kind of guy, but he was efficient and friendly. Would eat here again!
We went there with a 7pm reservation. The restaurant was out of duck...so no duck tacos for appetizers or duck breast for dinner. It was also out of their beef cho-cho appetizer. Now with the dessert...their torch was not working, so the creme brulee didn't have a brulee. Other than their out of stock problems, the entrees we ordered were good: rib eye was excellent, the miso seabass and seafood parillada was a bit salty. The best part of the dining service was our waitress..she was wonderful.
I made reservations for my Grandaughter and me, celebrating our birthdays together. I hated the fact that we were placed in a corner table right next to a young couple having a romantic dinner together ( on the same seat, almost like we were invading their space. Soon as they left, they placed four people at that table, with 5 inches between us, invading our space, I hated that, so we left early. If we do ever come back I will specify where we would like to seat. PS. there were tables open so you obviously take special request.
The ambience was worth everything. Price is on the higher end. The coconut shrimp appetizer did not taste fresh. I order the sea bass and it was very tasty. Portions were large.
A great place to go before a concert. The energy and ambiance is perfect. The food is delicious, and a great variety of choices. Our server was wonderful!
Was a little late getting to the restaurant but they held our reservation and seated us quickly. from the greeting at the reception to leaving everything was perfect!
Trader Vic's is always good for faux Polynesian food and drinks. The cocktails have remained tasty and strong. As it should be. The food even seems to have improved a bit. Anything out of the wood fired oven is amazing.
If attending an event at LA Live, you can't beat Trader Vic's for consistently great food, period.
This was the first time we had been to Trader Vic's and we will definitely be back. We used a TravelZoo discount coupon and that definitely helped because it is not an inexpensive place - but everything was perfection! Our waiter was very attentive, our water glasses were always filled and as soon as we finished our first courses, the plates were removed. We had a couple of their signature Mai Tais and they were so good, we had two more! For appetizers, we had the Cosmo Tidbits and the beef cho-cho. Ok, we confess that we ordered the cho-cho mostly because it came with its own little flaming hibachi, but the little skewers of meat were delicious, as were the Tidbits. For the entree, two words - Miso Seabass. Best I have had anywhere!
Trader Vic's is not only a re-interpretation of the original Beverly Hills location, but a quiet retreat from LA Live. Available are the classic old time drinks of the Mad Men era (Mai Tais, which originated at Trader Vic's) and their interpretation of "Hawaiian" food. Food is good but a definite throwback and the service is terrific. The culinary equivalent of a 1959 Cadillac.
Our experience was amazing but 4.5 hrs long overall due to lack of staffing. Only "one server" in the dinning room ???? Not a joke and I have never heard of such a thing when you are running a business. Luckily we made it work and the food was worthy. Our server was a trooper and did a great job considering her situation.
Good place for family dining and exotic setting with firewod grill
Love to go to any Tiki Bar atmosphere and Trader Vic's is a classic. This one was a little ragged, but that is what gives a tiki bar it's personality.
Enjoyed our dinner the food and service was very good, and the Mai Tai's were great!
We arrived early for happy hour & Kyle, the bartender really did us right! Then we had dinner reservations, and the ribs appetizer was wonderful! So was the coconut prawns..Brian, our server was very knowledgable about the whole menu. I ordered the salmon which was fresh & tasty! My friend had the filet mignon,which was very good!
The food at Tradder Vic's was excellent. We each had a different entree. Each had a distinct flavor profiles. Enjoyed everything.
Good food and lots of it. Good service and nice menu. Great happy hour and good hors doerves! If you're going to Staples for a concert or game, may want to come here for a bite before or after.
Trader Vic has been around for years in the Beverly Hilton. Several years ago, it re-located to downtown LA, at LA Live. If you are familiar with the "old" Trader Vic, you may be disappointed in this version. Not that there is anything wrong with the current one, it's just that the ambiance of the old Tiki Hut is gone, as are most of the signature dishes that were in the original restaurant. However, what they do serve is excellent and not badly priced. I recommend it without hesitation.
A true Polynesion style restraurant ala the 1940's with ffod and drink unique to the trader Vic heritage.
This is my 5th time at the L.A. Trader Vics, and the food, drinks and service are excellent EVERY single time. My favorite appetizeris the ahi poke, but this time we order the 2 shrimp dishes. MM! The Woodfire Salmon and the Woodfire porkchops have to be the best thing on the menu. I love that they serve a lot of food, not like most L.A.restaurants where they just tease you with a puny portion. Service: All the waiters and bus boys are the best team ever !
Been going to Trader Vics since the 1990's. Love their new location at L.A. Live. Hello Frank!
Trader Vic's gives you that Hawaiian/Polynesian flare in Los Angeles. The Mai Tai's are oustanding and quite strong. The food is delicious. A great dining experience for sure.
Celebrating a post wedding, excellent service, the food was amazing! Will come back again! the sea bass melted in your mouth! the salmon was cooked to perfection and the Chi Chi's were delicious!
The food is always amazing and I recommend you get the wasabi crusted filet. It's one of the best out there. We were going to the Pink Concert at Staples so there were a lot of people, however our reservation put us right through. No waiting. The waiter was decent, very nice, but he did not offer us a dessert menu after dinner and did not ask if we wanted a second alcoholic beverage, which was odd. He said, he thought we were in a rush to get to the concert but we never told him we were going there. The food came out much faster than expected. I honestly thought it was for another table. Besides the waiter issue, will go again.
Wonderful before the Pink concert! Bar time first and dining next. Easy access to parking and concert.
Food was great and wood fired oven cooked great fish and steaks.
As lovers of the old Trader Vic's we happened to be nearby LA LIVE and dropped in on an absolutely dead Monday night. So the atmosphere was odd and also it faces Olympic rather than the happening LA LIVE main drag full of young people so I am guessing it attracts and older crowd. That said the drinks were fun and the food fine. The wait staff was excellent. I think it would be fun to come here with a large group willing to experiment with the drink menu and share food.
What a great place! We had so much fun with the decor and the great food. The Rum barrel(s...) were pretty good too!
We made reservations with Open Table to have dinner before a concert at Nokia (LA Live). The place was packed & when we told them we had a reservation, we were given a table right away which was very nice. The hostesses were quite pleasant. We had warm bread with an interesting spread. My son and I shared a coconut shrimp with dipping sauce. The shrimp were good sized & the dipping sauce was sweet and tasty. My son had the teriyaki beef/shrimp with rice. He said it was delicious. He had a Mai-Tai. The coconut shrimp was enough for me so I did not order an entree. Our server was exceptional in helping us choose what we wanted and was quite attentive. Its easy with it being so close to Nokia & Staples Center. Be sure to make reservations!
I love that Trader Vic's is in my neighborhood. The Duck Tacos and Beef Cho-Cho are great appetizers. I usually get the Wasabi-crusted Filet Mignon or the Trader Vic's Salmon. The Polynesian Snowball is a great dessert. Always great service. Go before the game or a show at L.A. Live.
The food was absolutely wonderful and different. We loved everything about the place.
We were craving the ribs. Before the menu changed, the smoked ribs (cooked in a smoker) were amazing though overpriced. The ribs at LA Live were cooked in an oven. Not amazing served cold. Sent them back twice to be warmed and overpriced. ($15 for 6 pork ribs). Food was okay. Not noteworthy. Expensive. Drinks are fabulous. Would go for drinks again and dine elsewhere
Went to Trader Vic's to celebrate my 50th (I chose the place). We all really enjoyed the drinks and atmosphere. Our waiter told us they didn't have any tiki mugs to buy as souveniers because they were out of them. Disappointing, but it was my birthday so they broke loose with one. No swizzles or matchbooks or other swag to be found. We enjoyed the food. I had sea bass cooked in the Chinese wood oven and it was awesome, as good as any fish I have ever had. The ahi poke was a favorite of everyones as well. The pork sliders were just ok, my daughter said they were a little boring and bland. All in all, we had a good time and enjoyed the place.The service from our waiter was good, and the drinks and food all came without delay. Decor is cool.
Good food, great rum drinks and an interesting polynesian, hawaiian, asian fusion of a blend menu.
Food was pretty good and service was about average, but the ambiance is was you pay for and you get a lot of that! One of the better "old time" LA establishments. Too bad the Beverly Hilton closed the original Trader Vic's and replaced it with this one. It just doesn't have the classy, kitschy feel of the old one. The Beverly Hills Hotel has just a Trader Vic's lounge which is nothing like this restaurant. Tried it once and probably won't return as there are many other better restaurants in the area that have a better quality of food, service and ambiance.....
This place is a great place to grab a drink with friends. Variety of drink options to choose from!
Great food, reasonably priced and right next to Staples center, so perfect before a show. It was kind of weird that they had wine but no wine list- the server had to "go see what they had."

I have a new app idea that I have invested roughly 1,000 hours of my time developing the content, marketing/biz dev plan and strategy, logo, and site map. It obviously will never see the light of day without programmers. I found a programming team willing to do it, but they want 80% of the company? They have access to both low wage programmers and future investors. What should I do?
Welcome! Every time I see this type of question (re programmers and non-technical founders) I give the same advice. Learn to code yourself. It's not hard, and it's totally worth your effort. This post at Hacker News makes a very good argument why. Basically, you need to understand the development process in order to lead it. The only way to get good at this is to be highly engaged with code. There are very rarely examples of successful non-technical founders who've employed programmers and executed well. That said, unless any software is built, I would argue a 50/50% split (or even split between founders who input time). You've spent 1000 hours developing the concept, but your programmers have spent the same time (or preferably more if they're any good) to learn to develop beautiful software. Since there is no way to tell from the start which is going to be more pivotal for success, splitting evenly is the only fair game. | |||||||||||||||||||||
You can follow the following path:
If someone tells you that they want 80%, first ensure that they haven't taken any self-defence classes and then punch them in the face. | |||
I agree with John, except I would suggest to push for 60/40 your way so you still have the final call on any decisions that need to be made. | |||
I spent some years creating software before focusing on the marketing and commercial side of business. Once a year I let myself do one small bit of coding. I don't kid myself that I could create more than "Hello, world" these days, but I know what's involved in designing, delivering and iterating on software systems. That combination of familiarity and distance has worked well for me. In particular, I can often tell when a programmer skilled with the hammer is attacking a screw like it was a nail. And I'm good at making choices, driving down from my grand vision to minimum viable product. In your situation, I'd be thinking about two related but distinct questions. Firstly, do you want this to be your venture or not? If you do, any proposal that costs more than 49% is a non-starter. If you don't, you may be better off with a junior stake. Secondly, how big is the cash risk you feel is justified now, for yourself - and is that sufficient to deliver your MVP with a reputable developer? If so, a deal that lets you keep the cash in exchange for equity will make sense, as long as the developer is at least as bullish to you about the risk/reward character of the project. If not, you don't have a viable pitch, and you need to re-think. | |||

EraEriksson created a simple library for keeping your DotEmacs simple by allowing you to divide it into a modular collection of files. It's called my-site-start and can be downloaded from http://porkmail.org/elisp
By default it will recursively load all files and directories starting from ~/.emacs.d/site-start.d/ but this can easily be customized to use a different directory, not recurse, etc.
The library is just a simple framework for loading a modularized set of startup files. It does not include any functionality to actually create this modularized set of files.
As of 2009-02-05 this should be considered beta software. The author would appreciate any comments from users; please email ee are aye plus ee el eye es pea at eye kay eye dot ef eye.
Works well in my experience. It echoes Debian's design for /etc/emacs/ - not sure which came first.
It's theoretically neat to be able to activate a package for personal use just by symlinking its startup file into ~/.emacs.d/site-start.d/, but I don't know of any package that uses this method of installing or which supports soft-linking correctly in its startup file. In order to set the load-path correctly even when visited thru a soft symlink, you can write:
(if load-file-name (add-to-list 'load-path (file-name-directory (file-truename load-file-name))))
For multi-file packages, there is unfortunately no convention to indicate to the user which file is the Right File to symlink.
Debian already included a method like the mentioned my-site-start: It's called debian-run-directories defined in file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/debian-startup.el in package emacsen-common. So I put in my .emacs.d/init.el
(setq dotfiles-dir (file-name-directory (or load-file-name (buffer-file-name)))) (let ((user-site-start-dir (concat dotfiles-dir "/site-start.d"))) (debian-run-directories user-site-start-dir))

SMF Support > SMF 1.1.x Support
code in posts on safari
--- Code: ---code
--- End code ---
in posts on Safari has become a little off. Now it is showing code without breaking lines (a good thing), but the box is just a little taller than one line with the left/right scroll bar present (and there is no up/down scroll bar so I can't access the hidden code). This makes it very hard to read the code being posted and even more difficult to copy it. Would love to see three to four visible lines, if not five. Also, if it is possible for the powers to be, it would be great if when typing "select all" after having clicked in the code box, I would be able to copy all of the code only. Unfortunately it highlights all of the post. An example post is reply 3 on the thread:
Hope it's an easy fix. ;D
It depends. I really need a way to directly test SMF with KHTML.
Is there any windows renderer?

It's the most wonderful time of the year, when PTO, ugly Christmas sweaters and company-bankrolled parties abound.

Thanks to you, our wonderful members, another terrific year is in the books, and we can't think of a better way to celebrate another year of elevating talent than raising a collective glass in the beautiful Guthrie. As an added bonus, 300 of your closest friends will be there.

Hundreds of professional and amateur astronomers are focusing telescopes on southern constellations, stars, planets and even the International Space Station in the lower Florida Keys.
The 29th Winter Star Partykicked off Monday and has attracted almost 500 stargazing participants and guest speakers, including Michael Menzel, NASA mission systems engineer for the in-development James Webb Space Telescope.
Event founder Tippy D'Auria said the Keys are one of the few places in the contiguous United States where the Southern Cross and other celestial objects can be seen. The southern location, clear night skies and many available viewing locations without bright city lights help create optimal viewing conditions.
The star party ends Feb. 10 and is coordinated by the Southern Cross Astronomical Society, one of America's oldest amateur astronomical societies.

NEWPORT CITY - Many people believe that big box stores hurt local economies, but one national retailer is helping to keep area residents off the unemployment line. Glenn Foster, plant manager for Columbia Forest Products in Newport, said 25 percent of his companyŌĆÖs business is making hardwood veneer for merchandise sold by retailers like Home Depot.
Please see The Newport Daily Express Wednesday for the complete story.
DERBY ŌĆō When most people think about maple syrup producers, they likely think of springtime when the liquid gold, as itŌĆÖs known, flows freely from the maple trees, but the holiday season is when maple businesses are bustling with activity. Springtime is busy, but this time of year is a different kind of busy...
NEWPORT CITY - A few years ago Lisa Desroches was working at the Pick and Shovel and talked to her husband about starting their own business. As luck would have it Suzie-LynnŌĆÖs Gifts became available for sale in 2011 and Desroches took the leap from employee to business owner. ŌĆ£I always enjoyed working in retail, I like the interaction with people,ŌĆØ said Desroches.
NEWPORT ŌĆō North Country Hospital (NCH) is in the midst of dealing with operating issues involving employee safety in the laundry area. Hospital personnel have been working diligently to address the violations raised by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
NEWPORT CITY - The Irockets swim team is resilient, to say the least, with iron-willed swimmers overcoming obstacles to participate in the sport they love. In 2005 the now defunct recreational facility known as IROC opened, featuring a field house and swimming pool. The pool was sized to allow for competitive swim meets, which inspired Dr. Peter Stuart and other swim enthusiasts to start a team to introduce the sport to area youth. The sport grew in popularity such that by the time IROC closed in the spring of 2013 there were 34 kids who were part of the Irockets team.

REVISED: When The Rolling Stones stayed in Savannah. . .
July 11, 2013
Photos, links, and info about The Rolling Stones' stop at a motor lodge in on Highway 17 in Savannah while on their spring 1965 southeast tour. The band played a gig at Georgia Southern in Statesboro (of all places) on May 4th, 1965, but they didn't have any bookings in Savannah. They apparently spent a good part of the afternoon on May 5th hanging out by the motel pool, where numerous candid photos were taken.
In my columns in the Savannah Morning News, I write about the local economy and culture. But those columns don't exist in a vacuum: I follow a wide variety of national news and experience Savannah much more deeply than I can possibly capture in three columns a week. So here on Savannah Unplugged, you'll find everything from nationwide economic trends to nightclub photos. I also contribute to the political blog Peach Pundit and the music blog hissing lawns.
