It's that time again. The time of year when students and parents frantically hit e-tailers that offer fast shipping in order to get that all-important back-to-school technology into a dorm room or backpack before classes begins.
Whether you're about to begin the Fall semester of college or your senior year in high school (or something else entirely), you'll probably need the right hardware to get you through. In the pages to come, we'll be taking a look at today's latest and greatest when it comes to systems, hardware and peripherals that could prove useful for any dutiful student. Handling 21 hours of classes while still maintaining some sort of social life (which can mean posting daily on Twitter or Facebook) is hard work, and it's even harder if you're still relying on that old Pentium-based notebook and a Moto RAZR.
Here we will look at small form factor or all-in-one desktops (meant to fit nicely in dorm rooms and transport easily for those heading off to out-of-state schools), notebooks, tablets, and of course, smartphones. Ready to get your school year started off right? Let's go...
2013 Back To School Shopping Guide Table of Contents:
|HTC One
When you pick up the HTC One, you instantly get the sense that it's a high-end phone with plenty to offer. The One's outer shell is aesthetically pleasing and gives the phone a high-end look. It's also solid thanks to its full-metal unibody design. This design adds a bit of weight to the phone, but it's a tradeoff we suspect many users will tolerate.
A quick glance at the specifications of the HTC One, reveals that this phone was meant to compete with the other super phones available today—it features a 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor along with 2GB of RAM and Android 4.1.2. Depending on your carrier and budget, you can pick up a One with either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage at prices ranging from a couple of hundred bucks on-contract, to about $600 for an unlocked model. Unfortunately, HTC doesn't offer a microSD card slot, so make sure you're committed to whichever option you choose. The One's 4.7-inch full HD 1080p screen is crisp and clear and supports wide viewing angles.
In addition to offering all of the high-end hardware specifications you'd expect from a super phone, HTC includes a number of software features with the One that help set this device apart. We appreciate the number of customization options that come with BlinkFeed and HTC Sense TV is a cool addition that gives the phone additional utility as well. You can read our full review of the HTC One right here.
Samsung Galaxy S4
It made our list last year in its third iteration, and it's here again in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S 4. Overall, the Galaxy S 4 is the fastest smartphone we have tested to date. The Snapdragon 600 SoC at the heart of the Galaxy S 4 put up the best scores we have seen in the majority of our benchmark tests and during real-world use, the phone was fluid and snappy.
Prices will vary from about $200 - $625 depending on the model and whether or not you buy it on-contract. You can read our full review of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 here.
Nokia Lumia 1020
If you're willing to deal with the current limitations of the Windows Phone marketplace--which is constantly improving--you'll probably enjoy working and playing with this smartphone. The Nokia Lumia 1020's screen is beautiful, call quality is excellent, AT&T's LTE network is formidable (with a full build-out expected by the middle of next year), and the 1020's camera is best in class, hands-down and by a wide margin. If you value quality photography over pretty much everything else, there's really no other smartphone to consider.
price of about $249 (on-contact)--or more for an unlocked model. Our full review of the Nokia Lumia 1020 is available here, and if you want to see what happens when you strap a 1020 with all of its 41 megapixel goodness to an AR-Drone quad-copter, check this out.
Nexus 7 (2013)
Everything about the new model Nexus 7 for 2013, which is priced starting at $229, is improved from the original. Granted, we didn't find the 2012 model to be heavy or chunky, but next to the 2013 release, it almost feels that way. The new Nexus 7 is slimmer, lighter, and a whole lot faster, the last of which is reason alone to upgrade if you like to stay on the cutting edge or are specifically interested in playing games. Not to mention, the new Nexus 7's fully HD display is drop-dead gorgeous. If you need more convincing, our full review is available here.
ASUS MeMO Pad Smart 10
Considering the price, the MeMO Tab Smart 10 is a good buy for a first-time tablet owner, as a gift, or if you just prefer a larger size screen regardless of resolution. You can check out our full review right here.
Apple iPad (4th-generation)
|Small Form Factor Desktops
|Alienware X51 R2
Intel's Haswell architecture has landed, and Dell was quick to abduct the new platform to drive its higher end Alienware X51 R2 configurations, such as the one we reviewed here. Haswell's a great fit for the X51 R2, providing a big performance boost over last year's edition without negatively affecting the system's power footprint, noise, or physical size. On that last point, the X51 R2 continues to be a marvel in case design. Dell's Alienware team hit a home run with this small form factor (SFF) chassis, which is small enough to take residence in a living room setting, yet capable of housing components that can push pixels around like a traditional gaming desktop; not to mention the ability to upgrade a few components down the road possibly, if you so choose.
Another thing we like about the X51 R2 is its aggressive looks, though beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For those who don't find the system attractive, the saving grace for Dell is that it's a compact system that can easily be tucked out of sight. Alternately, you can draw attention to the system by playing around with the customizable LED lighting. Have a look at our full review here and there are a range of options price-wise, starting well under $1K.
iBuypower Revolt SFF
When we first got a look at the Revolt at CES, it was clear that the iBuypower folks were excited about it. They had a certain buzz around them that was undeniable, and now we see why; this thing is an absolute beast of a performer. Further, with its black front panel and slim profile, you could slot the Revolt into your home theater setup just as easily as you might tote it to a LAN party, and there are plenty of ports for adding peripherals as well as a handy SD card slot right on the front of the machine.
Although we're not particularly enthused about the plastic chassis nor the inconveniently-layered interior that's wholly unpleasant to work on, there's really nothing more you can say against the iBuypower Revolt. It's a beautiful-looking machine that appears to have more common DNA with an Xbox than your typical gaming PC. And for as inconvenient as it may be to tinker with the system, iBuypower's lab folks should be lauded for fitting in as many excellent components as they did--including the liquid cooling system and its 140mm radiator. Our full review is here. Get it at Amazon for as little as $599.
Maingear Potenza SS
Just because you have a couple grand to spare on a gaming PC doesn't mean you want a machine with a size that's as large as your budget. Maingear's Potenza is pricey as configured, no doubt, but it's also stout and muscular, able to play games on high resolution displays while sitting tucked underneath your desk, in the corner of your home theater, or anywhere else you choose to stick a system that's barely larger than a bookshelf speaker.
Maingear's system is also unique in how it handles airflow. Like the company's F131 system, the Potenza turns the typical desktop form factor on its head and utilizes vertical space to great success. The power supply situated near the top of the case, expels hot air up and directly out of the case before it has a chance to toast the motherboard or CPU, and the same is true of the GeForce GTX 670 graphics card, which is mounted vertically. It's precisely this design that allows Maingear to pack so much performance into a small system, and then overclock it. You can read our full review here and find various configs at MainGear's site or we found one here for $1399 though it's not a SuperStock version like we tested.
|All-in-One PCs
|HP Z1 27-inch AIO
The HP Z1 Workstation successfully juggles several balls. It provides solid performance for the price, offering serious power for well under $3,000. The system also scores well when it comes to access – in fact, it's easier to get to the Z1's internals than it is to access the guts of many ordinary desktops. You won't need a flashlight to find your way around this system's interior either; once that lid goes up, it's wide open. The Z1 also has a polished, professional look, even from behind, so it's going to look nice on the desktop as well.
Given the Z1's performance and accessibility, we recommend it to anyone looking for solid workstation in an space conscious environment or where aesthetics matter. There are other configuration options – if you don't need quite as much power as our review unit provided, you can reduce that price tag significantly by choosing less-expensive parts. Our full review is here.
Dell XPS 18 Portable All-In-One
Compared to most other AIO rigs we've reviewed, the XPS 18 had enough vigor to not only keep up in most instances, but surpass some of last year's models. In PCMark 7, for example, the XPS 18 scored 4,318, nearly 2,000 points above the Asus ET2410, Lenovo IdeaCentre A720, and HP TouchSmart 520. The only system it trailed was Dell's burly XPS One 27. Similar situations played out in other tests, though the lack of a dedicated solid state drive and discrete graphics prevented the XPS 18 tearing through GPU and storage intensive benchmarks.
What's neat about the XPS 18 is that you can pick up the display and take it with you to the living room, bedroom, or even the bathroom if you've run out of shampoo bottles to read. Unfortunately, it's too big and heavy (around 5 pounds) to serve as a legitimate tablet replacement, and you'd look awfully silly lugging this sucker on the bus. It's also an expensive piece of equipment at $999 currently, and since it's somewhat unwieldy because of its size, there's a greater risk of dropping it than there is with a Nexus 7 or something of that nature. Our full review can be found here.
Dell XPS 27 Touch All-in-One
Hands down, the Dell XPS 27 Touch Touch is the most powerful all-in-one we've tested to date. It annihilated every other machine in our reference database in every test, including Dell's own last-generation model, the original XPS One 27. Some scores approached those of solid gaming rigs we've had in the lab previously, thanks to the system's fast processor and discrete NVIDIA graphics.
For such performance, as well as the attractive form factor and all that it offers, the XPS 27 Touch's as-configured price tag of $1699 (or less) is appealing, to boot. If you're looking for a low-power AIO you can find cheaper options, but the Dell XPS 27 Touch is as close to a true "all-in-one" as you'll get at this point in time This new Dell AIO offers users--even gamers, up to a point--all of the amenities you'd want in a PC, from robust components to a nice array of ports and multimedia capabilities. The XPS 27 Touch is one of the best, no-compromise offerings we've ever seen in this class of products. Our full review can be found here.
|13-inch Haswell MacBok Air
Overall, the new for 2013 Apple MacBook Air offered better performance versus last year's model, especially when it came to graphics and storage subsystem throughput. Apple's super-thin notebook also placed near the top of its class in terms of performance versus a number of competitive Ultrabooks currently in the market, especially when it came to boot-up times, handling multimedia, graphics performance and battery life.
The machine we tested is priced a solid $100 less than last year's 13-inch model, currently at $1099 ($1044.99 for Amazon Prime subscribers). This still puts the MacBook Air 13 in the upper echelon of premium ultralight notebooks, cost-wise, but Apple's offering is otherwise competitively priced when you consider offerings from Lenovo, Dell and others. Sure, with a native resolution of 1440X900, the MacBook Air still technically doesn't have a full HD display, never mind Apple's high-end Retina panel, but in a 13-inch machine 1440X900 still cuts the mustard just fine for most folks. We like the new Intel Haswell-powered MacBook Air 13, with its PCI Express SSD serving up data at over 700MB/sec and its almost unbelievably-good battery life. Our full review is here.
Lenovo ThinkPad Helix
The idea of combining a Windows 8 tablet with a keyboard dock to create an ultrabook isn't completely new, but we feel Lenovo did a better job at implementing this concept with the ThinkPad Helix. We also appreciate the fact that you can turn the tablet around and still attach it to the keyboard dock to use in stand mode or tablet plus mode for additional battery life.
Docking and removing the ThinkPad Helix is easy, especially since Lenovo incorporated two docking posts to help you line up the system. While Windows 8 is designed for touch, we also like that Lenovo incorporated a digitizer and pen for additional functionality and hope to see more applications that let you take advantage of the precision a pen can offer in the future. Lenovo's ThinkPad line has a professional look that is sturdy, simple and clean yet still very attractive. The ThinkPad Helix utilizes this same styling while also providing additional flexibility that you won't get with a traditional ThinkPad notebook. Our full review is right here. This machine is a touch pricey though at $1500 - $1700, depending on config.
Acer S7 Ultrabook (2nd-gen)
The second generation of Acer's lightweight S7 Ultrabook has landed in the U.S. and is now available to purchase. Acer's pitching the revitalized S7 Ultrabook as being the perfect companion for college students heading into the back-to-school shopping season, as well as any road warrior who needs a system that's not just thin and light, but also powerful with all-day battery life.
Acer made some key improvements to its S7-392 model, starting with the fact that it now ships with Haswell inside. According to Acer, battery life is improved by 33 percent, and a quieter fan with second generation "Twin Air Cooling" technology keeps the system chilly without raising a ruckus. The 13-inch S7 is currently priced at $1599 and it's worth every penny in our opinion, with its gorgeous 1920x1080 full HD display.
Alienware ALW 18 gaming notebook
If pressed, we're not sure we'd change much of anything on this gaming beast. It would be nice if the optical drive could burn Blu-rays (though that's a niche need for sure), and the front edge where your wrist rests while you use the machine could be a little more comfortable. Other than that, there's really not much else you could ask for in a gaming notebook.
The processor is top of the line, and there are two high-end GPUs inside. 32GB of RAM is more than enough. The display is huge and beautiful. Dell even struck an excellent balance of storage and performance by implementing a spacious 512GB mSATA SSD and a large 750GB SATA drive (7200 RPM). It's true that other models have RAID configured SSD arrays, which can offer a substantial performance boost on the storage side, but for an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink gaming notebook, you want to have plenty of storage in addition to performance. (We imagine some folks would prefer the extra SSD performance, but at this point it's a matter of personal preference more than anything.)
The $4,499 price tag (as configured for our testing) is dizzying, but if you're looking for a solid gaming machine at a better price, there are other Dell Alienware ALW 18 configurations (as well as good options from other manufacturers) that you can value shop for. The Alienware 18 is the one that you buy when money is no object and you refuse to accept anything less than everything. Our full review can be found here.

Another school year is now at an end! Where does the time go?
Today we said farewell and good luck to our wonderful Year 6 children; most of whom will be continuing their journey on this campus over at Trent College.
We send them on their way with a fabulous legacy: belief in themselves and a love of learning. I look forward to seeing them grow and develop over the coming years and who knows what the future will bring? One day, they may even return as a teacher at The Elms, like Mr Jolly, our new Year 5 teacher, who many years ago attended The Elms in Year 6 as one of our earliest pupils!
I was delighted with the enthusiastic support received at Speech Day. Thank you for your warm words and appreciation for what was an excellent end of year celebration. To re-live the experience, follow the link to my blog by clicking HERE.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support throughout this year and to wish you and your family a fabulous restful and rejuvenating summer holiday. May the sun shine on us all!
Best wishes,
Keith Morrow

missing T
It is possible to use google translation and/or just copy strings from original language file to help speed up the process.
This is for now a very simple component, but it should do it's job
I haven't been working on it for some time, and as i am not using it myself in my day to day work, i am not planning to work on it again at the moment
The project is open source, so anyone can join or fork though..."
Compared with the j!Language Editor missingT has a very large functionality.
Compared with Localise there are some disadvantages:
Autotranslation translates all entries. I prefer to choose which entries I'd like to autotranslate.
No text editor available to fix corupt files.
But there is also an advantage: The export function.
Like in Localise there is no possibility to create a missing file.
Also it's not possible to create a override file, so updating joomla can overwrite the changes. Override files aren't even recoginesed. But here in MissingT the export function may help.
All in all I prefer Localise. I'd change to missingT if there would be a functionality to create an manage override files.
Missingt - Cannot read new strings added to the language file you are editing. Unfortunately Missingt does not let you add a new string so you do need to edit it outside Missingt but when you read the file again for translation, the string added just does not get read, like if it's not existing?
Missingt zaps all the comments in the file so figuring out where you are in a translation is not easy.
Wish the old Translation Manager would work in 2.5.
Unfortunately, I cannot help, not a programmer but I would definitely buy a good extension to help in translation efforts.
It even works without any problem in the 2.5 version of Joomla!
Keep up the good work
Let's just add a checker for finding duplicate content in files .. let's sey if german and english files have both the same word, that mean one of them is not translated .. just copied.
Great job guys!
Good idea ! I included a check in 1.0, so that the textarea will be highlighted in yellow when the 'translated' string is the same as the 'original' string.
Using MissingT on several Joomla sites almost a year. I stop by to check if there is a newer version and surprised that there are only 10 reviews.
Most of the translating people are not really translaters, they just google it that sometimes you can find ridiculous language files, MissingT saves time and help to correct without diving into all lang.ini files to find out what is where.
Hope Julien will continue with the great job.
There is one feature I miss. Several extension creators, like in Jomsocial, include HTML code in their language strings and I do not know any easy way to transfer the HTML code from the English language summary to the foreign language text box.
thank you andresseo, i will look into it !
Do not hesitate to submit ideas and issues on the support forum and/or on the github project page.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My child had come from the alternative programs and we are a low income family I have found the teachers to be very proactive with my child on his grades however these are teenagers and they need to learn how to take some responsibility and the teachers do try to teach this as well. My child really enjoys Cherokee and for myself I also attended Cherokee when I was younger and I still feel that not everyone can be happy with everything that goes on at a school but Cherokee is doing better than a lot of the middle schools. I am proud that my children will go to this school and not with the best of clothes and they will still fit in. All schools have issues that's life.
This school is highly recommended by nearly everyone in town, but it isn't what it seems. If your child is an athlete, you're good. If you can volunteer regularly and can be "popular" with the right parents yourself, your child will be good. If you can keep your child in the latest fashions, it will help. They say they have zero tolerance on bullying, but they do not. Speaking from personal experience, they do tolerate it if the kids belong to the "right" crowd.
Hi, I enjoy being at this school. Go Cherokee! I love my teachers. Go Cherokee!
We are going on our fifth year as Cherokee parents and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are dedicated and the overall attitude is positive and geared toward the children's future success. My niece attended Cherokee last year (her fifth school in four states) and she told us that Cherokee was the hardest school she'd ever attended but that was okay because the teachers were so helpful. Her assessment: she loved it. And so do we!
I attended my daughter's 6th grade awards ceremony 2007. I was amazed at the achievements. Out of about 60 or 70 students, 75% were in the band. There were about 15-20 students that won the top 10 honors in each of their classes. The teachers were easy to get along with. I didn't feel they gave enough homework as my daughter never seemed to have any. Overall my daughter really liked the school. A Dad
My daughter was a new student this year at cherokee. The students in the school are so wonderful and she really connected quickly. This is by far her favorite school. She'smade so many friends. The teachers are great there. A social studies teacher in the 8th grade gives a test every week, and goes too fast in her teaching, but other than that shes a fun teacher. All the teachers are very supportive and great to their students. Its a little to small for the amount of people in the building, but my daughter still likes it.
The security at Cherokee is very lax and I don't feel that they fairly discipline. I haven't had a lot of contact with the teachers. But what I have had they seem very dedicated and it does take a special someone to work with pre-teens and teenagers. I have dealt with the assistant principle and he was very helpfull and just seem to have it all together. It is a hard transition from elementary school to Cherokee especially because they have so many students that you are not going to stand out in the crowd they will more than likely be just another student. I don't see alot of individuality at Cherokee, like I said there are just so many students. The school was not built to handle the amount of students that they now have. Also they had to cut several teachers this year (just like all schools in the state) that has just made the situation worse for Cherokee. All in all it's a really good school, with a great staff and an even better student body.
Great school I have always enjoyed the atmosphere and experience I have with this school. I have dealt with a number of schools in Springfield and I have never had a bad experience at this school. Needless to say I have not had to deal with the principal and/or teachers therefore, they must be doing their job! The place runs smoothly and my children have been happy. My daughter now attends and is very happy with her experience with the teachers! Great job!
2002-2003 was our first year at Cherokee. I was very impressed with the principal, assistant principal and teacher involvement with each child as an individule.
Cherokee has a great varity of programs. They are really strong in Character education. And have a one of a kind Book Talk Program this schools grade is about a 92%.

Why Write: To communicate - or at least to try!
The English language is a funny, complex thing. We talked about that a lot in my education class this spring, especially in reference to students who are not native English speakers. One classmate came across a list of problem words that give students grief.
"The bandage was wound around the wound."
"They were too close to the door to close it."
"To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow."
Funny, but true. What's funnier is this can happen between native English speakers.
My husband needed some new clothes, so I had him go through his closet to see exactly what he had.
"So you need me to fit these on?" he asked.
"No, try them on," I said.
"But you fit on fenders. You fit on clothes too," he argued, with his typical gearhead reference.
"No, you don't," I said, reminding him I'm the grammarian in the family.
We've done this before. In my family you put the car in the garage. In his family you shed the car.
"Oh, like a snake sheds it skin?" I ask.
Then we go back and forth, teasing each other a little about speaking Nebraska-ese, or being an Iowegan (that's a person from Iowa). Widen the geographic regions a bit and you run into the pop and soda debate, the Grandma/Memaw usage.
This brings up a concept I found in researching my grammar project, the concept of code switching. People learn to do this when learning a second language, they study the different rules to learn to translate between the languages. People are starting to have to learn with technology too, switch between the codes of Standard English and techspeak (the language of texts and tweets).
Ironically we still need to do this with people from different regions of the country, even just from Nebraska to Iowa.
To keep communicating in all formats, people are going to have to keep switching codes from tech to Standard English, from region to region jargon, from family to family usage. Multi-lingual is a good thing!

just to let ya know pal, restarting your modem does absolutely nothing only makes you set everything back up to where it will work again. We did have linksys once but it was crap so we're using D-link now and has been working a hell of a lot better but if your linksys and restarting everything for you works then thats good. We have frontier just down our road maybe 50 feet but still ain't able to get it so maybe next year we might get it.. Just a couple of things i hate worst about hughesnet is latency and the fact that it does not like switches, if you don't hock it up corectly then the whole thing will never work thats all there is to that.If you like hughesnet i recommend you to stay with them cause they say they will upgrade everything sometime soon.
I have been running a switch since the 4000 modems and have the 9000 now and a router but that is only because I wanted the wireless for my phone, I ran the 9000 for a year on the same switch I have always had completely trouble free before I got the router and in fact I have to reset the router about once a week to keep the email working on my wifes computer and I never had to do that with the switch. I do have to agree with the D-Link part of the equation though, that is what my switch was and like I said, it ran trouble free for 10 years and is now working with a friends HN7000s system flawlessly.--HughesNet elite plan/.74 dish w/1watt trans. / 9000 modem / 3 computers on a linksy's wired network

A true gem, a fun, informative read. Should be required reading in this country.
Boring, boring, boring. All he does is complain about what he conceives as political motivated decisions in Florida, about people living in hurricane prone area (then he moves to one himself). This is a terrible book, I cant believe it was even published. I cant believe more that I actually read it. Ugh!

Ronald Poppo, who had his face being eaten in Miami a few weeks ago, is apparently a supporter of the Miami Heat.
According to the the Christian Post and other media reports, Ronald Poppo, the victim of the "Miami Zombie," is taking quite an interest in the Miami Heat's playoff run and even said "Go Heat."
Doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital said Tuesday that when Poppo, 65, when was asked to make a public statement, he opted to cheer on his favorite team.
Media reports say that Poppo has asked that the television be turned off in his hospital room, save for when the Heat are playing.
The zombie victim may be on Miami's side but a church in Oklahoma has a message for Heat fans.
Glad to see everyone so excited for this series.

Oklahoma State relief pitcher Brendan McCurry is one of five finalists in consideration for the Stopper of the Year Award presented by the National College Baseball Writers Association.
A senior right-handed reliever, McCurry is the Oklahoma State record holder for single season and career saves.
McCurry has 19 saves this season, which broke the previous record of 10 for a single season, held by his older brother, Randy, in 2009, and two others. This season, McCurry broke Jody Mercer's career saves record at Oklahoma State, which was 17. McCurry currently has 27 career saves, and has a chance for more as the Cowboys are still alive in the NCAA Baseball Super Regionals.
The Oklahoma State senior has made a school-record 34 relief appearances this season and has a record of 5-0 with and a sensational ERA of 0.39. His 19 saves this season is the fourth-best in college baseball this season. In 46 innings of work this season, McCurry has yielded just two runs on 29 hits, while striking out 53.
The other four finalists for the Stopper of the Year Award are Sam Moore of UC Irvine, which is playing at Oklahoma State this weekend in one of the NCAA Super Regionals; Nick Burdi of Louisville; San Diego State's Michael Cederoth, and Jacob Lindgren of Mississippi State.
The five finalists for the 2014 Stopper of the Year Award were whittled down from a midseason watch list comprised of 50 college players. The Big 12 had three players on the midseason watch list. In addition to McCurry, Josh Michalec of Baylor and Riley Ferrell of TCU were in consideration for the award when the list totaled 50 players.
Big 12 pitchers have won the Stopper of the Year Award four different times, and three of the past winners played for Texas: Corey Knebel of Texas (2011), Chance Ruffin of Texas (2010), Don Czyz of Kansas (2006) and J. Brent Cox of Texas (2005).

The fall was not scripted, Anne actually slipped while filming, although she started laughing they kept with the scene. The director didn't yell cut because she waved her hand a little (what looked like when she waved at Lily to keep talking) to signal that she wanted to keep filming the shot. The editor eventually chose this shot because he felt it fit Mia's character a lot more than the scripted shots they had.

The USAID Trade Hub-UEMOA-USAID ATP project 15th report on road harassment along primary trade corridors presents results of surveys on the numbers of checkpoints and delays and bribes drivers experienced from January to March 2011. The initiative began in 2006 in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Senegal and Togo. In 2010, Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal joined and Benin and Niger will join in 2011. The Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Organization contributes its data on delays and bribery in a separate report published separately. The figure below shows, from worst (Cote d'Ivoire) to best (Ghana), how the countries ranked on bribery. The currency is CFA francs; US$1=450 FCFA.

Brits Visiting DC
Hi, I am a British student, interning in DC for a semester. My family are coming for a 7-day visit in a few weeks time, and I'm trying to plan the best places to go. As an unpaid intern I'm excited about trying some slighty better (read more expensive) places, but at the same time I don't want to go ahead and book the priciest places in the area!
My first question is: they arrive on a Friday afternoon, and are staying in between Farragut North and West in terms of metro stops (they may have a car). We want to go out for dinner somewhere nearby. I don't think that a Friday night is the best time for them to experience Georgetown or Adams Morgan! So I was thinking the Dupont Area, the Penn Quarter or Chinatown are all fairly close. We are all adventurous eaters, but one wont eat sushi, and I don't think we want Italian. Any suggestions?
I've been reading the boards as much as possible to find some good options for me and for them! Thanks everyone.
Brit, here's what I think. Komi. Hie yourselves to Komi at 17th & P. Make a reservation. Cafe Atlantico, also great, but loud, in Penn Quarter. Like Indian? Inde Blue, down by the Verizon center is excellent - I had a tandoori lamb chop, it was like buttah. Want fun & loud? Zatinya. But truly, take advantage of your folks being in town with their credit cards and go to Komi.
Komi is on the pricier end. They only offer a tasting menu, which is $75ish. So if that's out of price rance, I would suggest Corduroy (near Metro Center and MacPherson Square) or Restaurant Kolumbia (Farragut North). It's also not that far from Central Michel Richard(Federal Triangle or Archives Navy Memorial kind of behind the White House).
I'd second the suggestion of Central Michel Richard--not cheap, but not overly expensive. Poste is good, not horribly expensive, and also not far, right by the Portrait Gallery in Penn Quarter. Cafe Atlantico is fun (though somewhat loud). I also suggest Ten Penh.
First of all, Penn Quarter at night makes Georgetown look like Hay-on-Wye in February, so if you are looking to avoid a mob scene, I would go elsewhere. The Dupont Circle area has Pesce a chalkboard seafood place, and at 19th below M there is Nooshi for pan-asian. Or go north on Connecticut Ave for Lebanese Taverna (Woodley Park) or Nam Viet (Cleveland Park).
In Georgetown, the excellent Mendocino Grill is not terribly expensive. Though shouldn't everything seem dirt cheap to someone coming from England?
Someone mentioned Ten Penh -- that'd be a great choice. Might also consider Zaytina (Mediterranean tapas), Matchbox (no reservations, loud, but yummy), PS7's, CityZen, Rasika (Indian) and for the experience, Marakesh.
Thank you for all your suggestions. I will definitely avoid the Penn Quarter in that case! Dupont is sounding promising. Pesce looks fantastic, but I am a little concerned about my youngest sister, who isn't a major fish fan. Poste looks good, as does Nooshi and Ten Pehn-we all love Asian-style food! I am hoping to go to Cafe Atlantico for the Sunday brunch!
Everything is, of course, cheaper than the UK, but I still am a little cautious about taking my parents to somewhere as expensive as Komi, especially as my 2 sisters will be with them. For the Friday night, especially as it is Easter weekend, I feel a reservation is essential, but other nights less so.
Komi is well worth your while. But given your location and what sounds like a desire not to be too adventurous, the Tabard Inn is where you really want to go. Tucked away on N Street, you'll feel like a DC insider and you won't be disappointed by the wonderful, regional American food, which is made with fresh local and often organic ingredients.
Stay away from Ten Pehn -- it's ok but not what it used to be. I'd recommend Butterfield 9 on 14th Street. For something totally fun and different (and not expensive) hit Zaytinya or Jaleo. For Italian, Notti Bianci. I second Pesce for seafood, but that's all they serve, so that may be an issue. CityZen and Citronelle are sublime but way too formal and expensive for what you want. Consider also 1789 or Bistro Lepic in Georgetown.
Avoid Marakesh at all costs -- lousy neighborhood, bad food and service, and way too expensive. Not a place to take parents, unless you really want to spend the evening eating with your fingers and watching out of shape bellydancers.
I almost forgot -- Oval Room is a great choice as is Bombay Club (Indian) across the street. both are elegant, right by the White House (which will be a treat for the parents), near where they're staying, and the food in both is excellent. You won't be disappointed. I'd say either of those (or Equinox if you want to spend a little more) or Tabard Inn will work best for you.
Acadiana is really delicious high-end food with a New Orleans flare (same owners as Tenh Penh but better in my opinion). I have been there several times and it always seems to be a crowd pleaser.
I always have a good time at Zengo in Penn Quarter- it is latin/japanese fushion in a wonderfully fun atmosphere. Any sushi-lovers among you will be pleased but there are many other options.
For Indian, try Rasika. Awesome, inventive Indian- make sure you try the crispy spinach app.!!!
I haven't lived in DC for some time, but I do get back to visit on occasion...
My two must-hits in the expensive department would be Taberna del Alabardero and (slightly less 'must-hit') Palena. I was not impressed with Citronelle.
I was also impressed with Corduroy (especially given its wine list) on a recent trip, although, while the room was nice, there was a certain personality missing.
Dino I love. Relatively inexpensive Northern Italian in a modern setting and awesome wine list.
I really liked the rediculously casual atmosphere of Obelisk when considering the quality of the food. You rarely get a restaurant that with wicker chairs that you can go to in shorts with that level of service, sophistication, or quality.
I'll be presumptious and assume that your folks can eat in London more easily than in DC so I'd say that they can get much better Indian food there. Zyatinya is fun, but does not take reservations after 6:30pm. Corduroy is excellent food, great services, and a reasonably priced wine list (especially Burgandy) but the ambiance is somewhat lacking since it is in a hotel, but it is still one of my favorite restaurants.
If they want the quintessetnial American experience take them for steaks. Expensive, but very American. I like Charlie Palmer's, and the Prime Rib (but jackets are required) If you can get out to Silver Spring, Ray's the Classic is a great place to get a steak.
You might also want to go to Rockville to Urban BBQ, otherwise you can get BBQ at Capitol Q, near your hotel, or Rocklands. Neither is as good as Urban, but still BBQ.
I would definitely like to take them for BBQ at some point. Luckily we have several days of eating to do, there are so many choices!
The priority for Friday night is location and a reservation, so I'm looking at Old Ebbitt Grill or The Oval Room right now.
We will definitely go to somewhere spanish-y one night, somewhere Japanese-y, and I think maybe Ethiopian too. We eat a lot of Indian food at home, so I'm not sure whether they will want to eat Indian while here. Of course, during the week we will not want to eat at the most expensive places every night!
But thank you for all your suggestions, I really had no idea where to even start looking!
re: BritInDC
Spanish-y = Taberna del Alabardero. Seriously. Trust me.
re: BritInDC
I strongly recommend you don't do Old Ebbit Grill - it is basically just a tourist place with dressed up (but not very good) bar food. I would also steer you away from Ten Phen, which has seen better days.
Blue Duck Tavern is really good, and has very american food (not actually a tavern). I wasn't as impressed with Komi as most people on this board, and I don't think a family of 5 would feel particularly comfortable there ... it is small and has a very quiet, austere feel to it. Cashions has good food and a relaxed but still nice atmosphere. It would make lots of sense to go to a steakhouse (if you are meat eaters) - a few of the ones in DC are quite a scene. And do take the opportunity to try some ethiopian, if you haven't already.
re: LulusMom
I had lunch at the Blue Duck Tavern earlier this week, and wasn't impressed. The food was good, but not as good as the high price would suggest. Nor was the food seasoned perfectly enough to warrant not having salt and pepper at the tables. The service was very good, though.
I also thought the room was rather cold and uninviting visually.
re: LulusMom
It gets tedious hearing people trash Old Ebbitt as a tourist destination and nothing more. It hasn't been crowded for over 150 years without the locals. The menu is straighforward American fare from local suppliers - not tricked-up, trendy stuff. And it's a good place to take out-of towners, particularly foreign guests.
It's a special relief to have such a place for a group of mixed ages and eclectic tastes. Non-adventurous teens can order burgers. An elderly aunt can have plain roast chicken. A plain steak dinner. Fried Virginia trout, liver and onions, a decent crabcake for those who want to try the local specialty. They have seasonal local treats like shad roe and a well-priced lobster special in the summer.
Old Ebbitt Grill and its partner Clyde's in Georgetown fill a real gap in the local food scene. I am grateful to have them for many of the groups that I have to entertain who wouldn't enjoy many of the CH favorites in town. And when my guests insist on picking up the tab, I don't have to pick them up from the floor when they see the prices.
If you personally want trendy food or know that your guests do, go someplace else, but accept OEG for what it is.
re: MakingSense
I will agree that it's not just for tourists, that said, the menu is boring but done correctly for boring.
re: MakingSense
I accept Old Ebbitt's for what it is: hideously noisy and crowded, with food not worth mentioning on Chowhound.
I should also add that they may be renting a car, I'm not sure. If they are, then we have slightly more options-I'd definitely look at Urban BBQ, for example. I was only introduced to the American concept of BBQ very recently, and I feel that it's something that they should share!
I would also like to go somewhere for good Mexican food. It's not something that we really get at home. Any suggestions?
The Old Ebbitt Grill is a good idea, as is any of the Clydes. The vibe at the Clydes is good, I like the ones in Chinatown and Friendship Heights best, the food is good, the service is good and the prices are good. Also, it's pretty American. As for Mexican food, that is a difficulty in the District. The best places requie a car and some familiarity with Bladensburg. However, Oyamel has reopened and is Penn Quarter. I went there several times when it was Crystal City and was overjoyed by it. It is very serious Mexican food, though as interpreted by a Spaniard, Jose Andres. The last I heard, at the Crystal City location, they were even serving some insect dishes. Oyamel is probably your best bet for Mexican besides these two holes in the wall. Pepitos Tacos in Adams Morgan (a tight fit even for one person) and Taqueria Distrito Federal in Columbia Heights. Wherever you go, try a Tamarindo (a Tamarind juice) or another agua fresca (cashew, horchata, jamaica - hibiscus).
Not only is April 8 Easter Sunday, but that weekend is the kickoff for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Nobody in their right mind wants to drive anywhere near the Mall/downtown area. There will be a fireworks display on Saturday night. Restaurants will be pretty crowded all weekend with tourists. Get reservations early - like yesterday!!!
Something your parents - and you! - might enjoy is a trip to Annapolis harbor. There are many restaurants and shops in the historic district and a lot of working boats still operating out of the harbor. A little bit of American history and some good local food that's sadly hard to find in Washington.
For the same reason, I'd head down to Old Town Alexandria. Great restaurants down there and delightful shops that will appeal to your siblings. Not the usual shopping mall cookie cutter stuff.
Frankly, they can get far better Indian food in London than in DC. Same for Ethiopian and other ethnic. I'd stick with what we do well here that's hard or impossible to find in the UK. Steak of course. Ray's, Capital Grill, Charlie Palmer, the Prime Rib. America just has terrific meat. Our barbeque is good and that's something special that isn't duplicated abroad. Even Rocklands in Georgetown does a decent job.
Clyde's in Georgetown has a very pleasant atmosphere - less frat house that the Penn Quarter spinoff - and the general American menu is appealing to a wide variety of tastes. And there's Georgetown's shops to visit after lunch or dinner.
I have never sent any of my houseguests to the Spy Museum who didn't adore it. If you haven't been, go with your family for sure!!!! Fabulous for teens and above. And lots of great food choices in Penn Quarter for before and after. It's close to Michel Richard's Central for some creative top notch food or to 701 which I think is consistently under-rated. It's also close to Capital Grill for that great steak.
I think you mentioned somewhere that you work near the Capital, so don't forget Eastern Market. And maybe Montmartre.
Congress won't be in session, but you may be able to pull a string or call in a favor and take your family to eat in the Senate Dining Room or House Members Dining Room. The food is pretty good but the surroundings are special and they'll think you have "arrived." Ask around in the office where you are interning. It isn't that hard to arrange.
Hot Dogs reminded me!!! How could we forget? Nationals season opener is April 2.
Take your family to a baseball game. What could be more American than that?
Eat American ball park food in the stands. Peanuts, popcorn and Cracker Jacks. Dippin Dots are really strange.
Some of the local fans will do their best to explain the game to you.
They're in town through Easter weekend. Then on the road for a week.
This may seem far-fetched, but if you know your boss and get along well, see if she/he would be willing to take your family to lunch at the Members Dining Room.
can't get more "inside DC" than that, except for eating at the white house.
An inexpensive but tasty venue if Full Key in the Chinatown. it is located on H Street between 5th and 6th Street. It is some of the best chinese I have ever eaten and great lunch spot if you have been doing any shopping or movie watching in the Gallery place area. In the Farragut North area David Gregory is a great fusion resaurant. A bit pricey but the food is flavorful and fun. For Mexican try Lorial Plaza on 18th Street in lower Adam Morgan. You can't make reservations, but it is worth the wait for table. In case you wre considering southern food try Georgia Brown in the Golden triangle area of DC. Its pricey but they do a great interpretation of classic southern dishes. Georgia Brown has a great Brunch on sundays. For less than $30 you get a full southern breakfast plus a seperate lunch order, which most people take to-go.
I don't think that Laurial Plaza is particulary great, but it does have a nice vibe so you won't go too wrong. The Clydes group offers great value for money. Sure, Clydes (and Old Ebbitt) are not cutting edge, but if you want to impress foreigners with great American food and not break the bank, they will be a hit. The locations are beautiful, the service is fantastic and the food is good.
hanks for all your suggestions, everyone. So far, I have booked Old Ebbitt Grill for Friday night, because it is so close, and I have managed to book Central for one night too. I figured it was worth trying if my parents are paying!!
We will probably go for sushi one night, am I right in thinking that Sushi Taro is the best place to go?
I think I'd also like to try Zyatinya, and Ten Penh.
Then I guess Ethiopian one night, and maybe Oohs and Aahs, plus Taqueria Distrito Federal... and I'm out of nights!
What do you all think?
re: BritInDC
I agree with someone above who said your family is probably used to getting good Indian food --- but I still have to recommend Rasika. I love it. If I remember correctly, the chef came recently from London.
Also, BTW, I like Old Ebbitt and I think you should not miss the oysters. They have some of the best oysters in the city.
re: jpschust
Gotta disagree! They're not trying to do traditional Indian food -- it's a modern approach. I'm not the only one who loves it. Sietsema gave it 3 out of 4 stars.
re: cokie
Sietsema also gave minibar a high rating- I often disagree with Sietsema, at times he's got his moments, but he's far from the end all and be all of reviewers. Our experiences there have both been terrible with food that was lackluster at best and service that was just ok to terrible.
re: jpschust
I'm with you on Rasika, jpschust. From the Pier 1 decor to the disinterested service to the bland food. As soon as that signature spinach starts to cool off, it's a leaden mess.
re: MakingSense
I'm with Cokie - I really enjoyed the food at Rasika. Inventive and tasty.
re: BritInDC
Sushi Taro is absolutely the best place to go for sushi. I have found that Sushi Ko, Kaz Sushi Bistro, etc just don't measure up. Another good place is Makoto, but that's farther away, and small and you probably don't want to bother with that. Sushi Taro is consistently excellent, and close to where your parents will be staying, to boot.
