I'M SO SORRY, sobs Rosetta Brit boffin in 'sexist' sexy shirt storm
Re: World, get over yourself
So it;s okay because he's a scientist? I'm not in the slightest bothered by the shirt, but I'm highly concerned by the double standards shown by Register commentards. If a UKIP candidate wore the shirt, would there be a similar outpouring of sympathy for the person in question to wear what they like?
I'm not a scientist or a UKIP supporter, but when it comes to "political correctness" the rules should apply to everyone equally. Isn't that the essence of equality?
UK PM Cameron says Internet must not 'be an ungoverned space'
Re: Cameron talking crap again
Tapeador, sorry dude but you need to understand the world view of the average Register commentard. Many of them live in a fluffy world of highly educated IT professionals and academics. They have little exposure to the kind of people who are susceptible to extremist material and little understanding of of the thought processes involved. Even if they do have exposure to these people, they still see everything through their own educated world view and therefore don't understand the risks. I'm not talking about someone watching a 2 minute voyeuristic beheading video on Liveleak, I'm talking about the extremist videos who feed off the mindset where women are worthless, democracy is weakness and "the west" (ie white and non Muslim) is the enemy.
I haven't a problem if another countries population decides they want to live in a society like that, that's their own shit to sort out, but unfortunately many of these people are very much embedded in OUR society. If these people are allowed a free rein, then either ourselves or our children are in for a big lesson on appeasement.
India's Karbonn launches £26 Android phone
Even cheaper
Thats the price after tax, delivery, online seller fees and retailers profit!
Kabonn is presumably making a profit too, so manufacturing cost is probably almost half the £26!
NAO: £4bn of gov work doled out to just 4 outsourcing giants
Re: So 25% profit on turnover, of which 8.1% comes back as tax.
Thats their total global profits from all work throughout the world. So no it's not 25% profit on the UK government work, and much of their global work will have been taxed overseas so will not be shown as part of the £81 million they paid on UK profits.
Valve uncloaks prototype Steam Machine console specs
Re: That's incredibly muscular specs.
A very hefty price indeed. I can't see much of a market for this as it's going to cost a lot more then the next gen consoles and most hardcore PC gamers are happy to build their own PC's.
Kim Dotcom quits Mega to head new political party, fight extradition
Re: Not a citizen
He's not that nutty. He's a self made multimillionaire and if you hear him in interviews, he comes across as being very intelligent.
Torched £30 server switch costs phone firm millions in lost sales

I read about that in a book once - I'll pass.
Wow! British Gas bungs a million remote-controlled sales-droids in UK homes
Re: not sure how accurate this is
I'd be surprised if it was that much. I had a temporary job as a meter reader about 15 years ago and back then the company was charging less than £10 per reading.
Also regarding the savings, bear in mind that the mobile companies are going to be making quite a large amount of money out of this, plus your meter will still be physically read every 2 years.
The EU law which is causing these meters to be fitted actually contained the phrase "if economical". Almost all of Europe has decided that it is in no way economical, and therefore they're not fitting the meters.
Sky falling: 119,000 Brits flee O2, Be after Murdoch broadband gobble
Re: Nothing going on here really
I agree.
From what I understand a large part of Be's market was reliable hi speed connections for power users. With the spread of FTTC that market is now mainstream and available very cheaply.
O2 customers got cheap BB through their mobile phone contracts and the service was provided for customer retention, but their BB had a seriously bad reputation so I'm not surprised about falling numbers. I suspect they were falling well before the spread of FTTC and before the purchase by Sky.
Re: Left months ago
" It sounded like they already had a pre-prepared and well used script to handle the situation. "
It sounds like those cunning devils have a retentions department with staff trained to try and make you stay. Thanks for the tip off.
The package via your sister is a staff benefit which helps with staff retention, so I wouldn't read into that too much. Many companies do the same.
Regarding Sky being in trouble, I recommend reading the article, in particular the section covering turnover and profits.
AMD fools Wall Street, posts smaller loss than expected
They should increase prices.
I'm no fanboy, but I've bought £300 of AMD products in the last 12 months and if the same products had been priced at £400, they would still have been the best option. Many of their products more than hold their own against Nvidia/Intel and yet AMD are often significantly cheaper.
No wonder the company is worth so little when they needlessly make a loss on their sales - the market cap of the whole company is just £2 Billion - almost half the value of a company such as Sports Direct!
BBC's Digital Moneypit Initiative known to be 'pile of dung' for years
Re: exceeds the annual budget of BBC4 and CBeebies put together
Surely the biggest chunk of BBC4's budget, is sending a temp down to the archives to collect the tapes of old programmes they constantly show. (Nothing wrong with that, as some of the old programmes they show are great, but it's not exactly expensive is it)
It would be interesting to see the overall cost of Cbeebies - they sell their programmes around the world, with some being very successful.
Former Microsoft Windows chief: I was right to kill the Start button
Surface RT
1 Surface RT device sold for every 20 iPads sold is actually quite impressive considering how bad they are.

Hey, O2 punters: Kiss goodbye to 4 MEELLION* Openzone hotspots
Re: UK's low data price not...
I'm sure the foreign network is paying the UK networks a low rate - what your network then decides to charge you when you get home is a different matter.
Review: Samsung Series 5 Ultra Touch Ultrabook
Re: Have I missed something?
"Until Windows 8.1 appears, having a touchscreen is a huge advantage to straddle the new Windows 8 user interface dichotomy."
A huge advantage? I have to agree with the other comments on here. I have Windows 8 on my desktop, with a large touchscreen monitor (bought due to a deal, rather than wanting a touch screen)..... I think I've touched the screen less than 10 times since I bought it and that was only to show the touch features to interested friends! Maybe it's down to habit, but I find a mouse and keyboard much easier to use than touch.
World's richest hobo (Apple) has worked 'tax-free' in Ireland since '80s
Re: Why do people get upset at Apple for this?
DJO, you're wrong - they do pay what is due. They break no laws and they have a legal obligation to their shareholders to minimise their costs (within the law). NOBODY pays more tax than they have to.
I'm as angry as anybody else is about the low rates and financial gymnastics these companies manage to get away with, but the bottom line is that it is the line of responsibility goes like this
There are reasons that the tax rules are the way they are, and it's partly because the tax laws had good intentions. The idea was to stop double taxation, but then those clever accounts found legal ways of making that "no or low taxation" and the authorities did nothing about it, because basically every country has large companies taking advantage of it, and they are competing against other large companies in other countries, who are also taking advantage of it. If we changed our laws unilaterally then all we would achieve is ultimately putting companies like Vodafone and Rolls Royce out of business.
The laws need to be changed globally and I think thats what you are going to finally see happen in the next few years.
O2 brushed off outsourcing 'rumour' - but it's happening ... to THOUSANDS
Re: Not good
3 is the worst company ever to try and cancel with. Pro tip to save time - be aggressive and abusive from the start, because that is where it will end anyway! Even then it will take a minimum of 30 minutes before they will let you cancel.
I said 'no' to a million-pound Tech City empire
Re: Carpe diem
It could "ruin" a few years, but it could only ruin "the rest of your life" if you let it. And don't forget that one good business decision can also make you for life.
It's hard to see a bad business decision without the benefit of hindsight, and even if things go "tits up", the experience invariably leads to other things.
BlackBerry and Apple pie this summer. Or BBM-onna-Droid
For Free?
Seems pretty nuts to me, especially as they're doing it for free. All the kidz buy Blackberrys for BBM and nothing else.
Will many people buy a Blackberry just to have a keyboard?
Virgin Media revs up for Liberty Global merger
"Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation and other one-time charges rose from £376.5m last year to £398.5m.
"Virgin Media boss Neil Berkett, who will exit the telco with £42m"
So after Virgin pay their taxes and other costs, the boss will be taking almost 20% of the entire comapnies profit. Nice work if you can get it.

Eerie satnav boffinry claims it can predict THE FUTURE
Re: Audi drivers
So in your worldview, anyone with a nice car is an arse.
The main reason that some people with nice cars are arses, is that they think that their car defines them in some way - and it appears that you are just like them.
Potential downsides
Risky drivers who have an increased chance of crashing might pay more for their insurance?
Is that a downside?
Germany's RTL pulls free-to-air channels off terrestrial TV
Re: @ JetSetJim
"You seem to be equating "popular" with "good"."
Erm no, I'm equating "good" with "subjective".
Re: Satellite or Cable?
"Satellite is precarious."
Is it really any more precarious than terrestrial TV?
@ JetSetJim
You mean removed from your view.
The programs you mention are some of the most popular shows in the country. Are you hoping that other people can't watch them, purely because you prefer not to watch them?
And what's your problem with "commercial TV"? I'm pretty sure that you'll find that all the "commercial" shows that you hate so much have all be quickly copied by the BBC - but funded from their TV tax whether you like it or not.
Commercial TV will die when people stop watching. The BBC has no such concerns due to "the unique way" they are funded.
Mega launches with mega FAIL
Re: Why Bother?
He said himself that it's basically a competitor to dropbox - it's not a new megaupload. I can't see how this can be touched legally, because you could only share files if you shared the account login.
The terms and conditions are pretty much standard for any service like this (FWIW I'm also pretty sure that megaupload had similar T&C's)
Why use it?..... 50GB free storage, or up to 4TB for 30 euros a month.
Why's it slow right now?.... Massive publicity, 50GB free storage, or up to 4TB for 30 euros a month!
Good luck to him.
Ten gaming headsets
Plantronics GameCom for me
I've gone through several expensive gaming headsets over the years - they always fall apart. Now I use the Plantronics GameCom, which are cheap (£15 on fleabay) and built like a tank. I haven't noticed any difference in sound quality over the much more expensive sets either.
4G: Bad coverage, crap battery life - but at least it's really expensive
Re: 3 for good data? Really?
3 do all you can eat data for £12.90.
If you want to use mobile data, you don't want to go near O2 (or Giff Gaff which runs on O2) . Obviously you'll get a few people with bad experiences on 3, just like every other network, but overall it's by far the best network for data.
Barnes & Noble Nook HD and HD+ hands-on review
"Amazon has, at last, some very strong competition on its hands."
Kobo's are pretty popular in the UK - no where near as popular as kindles, but their products compare very well.
Sony NSZ-GS7 Google TV internet player review
I use a HTPC which is total overkill, but mainly because the little boxes like this Sony haven't quite reached the same level yet on certain important features. The thing is that they are now getting very close and where they mainly fall down is lack of apps. With the massive boom in android tablets, I think that the tablet apps will crossover to these TV boxes and fill the gaps.
New MPEG format paves the way for UHDTV
Maybe this will allow FreeView HD to fit in more than the pitiful five HD channels they currently have space for. This would be far more use to customers than an 8k TV, which would require a house sized TV to be useful.
Humax YouView DTR-T1000 IPTV Freeview PVR review
The YouView minimum spec (which is actually pretty high) is almost identical to the new FreeSat spec, so I imagine that we'll see it on those boxes in a couple of years. In fact I think we'll see a shaky start to YouView, but then suddenly see it turning up built into new TV's etc, as they almost all have enough spec for it already due to all their 'Smart TV' features.
The idea behind Youview is definitely the future (remember that FreeViewHD only has the bandwidth for 5 HD channels) - but I think YouView will look A LOT different in 5 years time.
UK 4G auction: No word on what will be flogged, or what it costs
Competition isn't always good.
Surely the answer is to make them all sell their towers and frequencies and create a single Network Rail type organisation. It would remove duplication and would see new technology introduced much quicker. The same goes for fixed line telecommunications - in fact it could be the same organisation which would then lead to even more benefits.
Boy cuffed after Twitter troll's drown threat to Olympic diver Tom Daley
Re: Threats of physical violence ARE against the law.
True, but just like the recent twitter airport case it has to be a realistic threat and common sense is needed.
It's pretty obvious that this guy was not going to kill Tom and the threat was around the level of a parent telling their child 'I'll kill you"
Basically this guys been arrested for being a bit mean, which personally I find a bit worrying.
Ten monster tellies to suit all budgets
Re: Sony?
I've not seen the Sony, but the Panasonic thoroughly deserves it's great reviews.
Re: I feel spoilt
For a no brand TV, I've seen similar spec for around £500 in the UK, so you're not saving much.
Re: "all budgets"
£600 for a 'monster tellie' isn't bad.
If you're really skint go second hand - Recently I picked up a high spec almost new 50" Panasonic for £375 and my HTPC gives me all the 'Smart' I need.
Sony Xperia Go waterproof Android phone review
Re: Sounds good
I'm just about to leave contract on my San Fran, so I'm half looking too. This Sony looks great - a nice tweak to a San Fran - but at the end of the day I'm still really happy with my San Fran and it has great community support so I can't think of a really good reason to change!
PayPal is bleeding market share and it's all eBay's fault
Re: That and...
They're greedy, but they charge what the market is willing to pay.
I hate paying their fees, but it's still worth using ebay because of the high prices that customers are willing to pay for my listings. Whats the alternative - Gumtree? Cash Converters? You will make far less money on either of these options even when fees are considered.
What we really need is some true competition for ebay.
LCD to have killed all* other TV technologies by 2016
Re: I have a sports bar with 22 plasmas
I'm a big fan of plasma, but if I was running 22 TV's for 100 hours pw in a sports bar, I think that I'd go for LCD just for the energy savings.
Sony, Samsung trade body to push HbbTV to Brits
The YouView and HbbTV standards are very similar. If a TV can support HbbTV, then it should also be able to support HbbTV.
So what's the point of YouView? It's all about control and ensuring that the BBC doesn't face too much competition. Youview will just end up as another UI for HbbTV.
Ten budget inkjet printers
I know that these printers aren't expected to last too long, but it's reasonably likely that the Kodak printers will outlast the company itself, meaning possible cartridge supply issues (they aren't exactly a massively popular brand of printer)
Anyway inkjet are for mugs - laser is well worth the extra money and nowadays they're pretty close to the cost of the inkjets.
YouView launches with pricey premium DVR
Re: Ahah
The YouView boxes have a pretty high minimum spec, so as long as HbbTV is fairly open, theres no reason that the YV boxes couldn't get a firmware update.
I doubt that YouView will survive and stay as it is, but whatever wins will look very much like it and the boxes could probably be updated to the winning solution.
"Most people don't actually own a DVR"
10 million homes have Sky's PVR, Virgin have a few million and then theres a few million with FreeSat and FreeView boxes (Not all with PVR, but alot of them will).
I think I'm right in saying that theres around 25 million homes in the UK, so I would guess that at least 50% of homes now have a PVR.
Telstra re-stocks shelves with phones from alleged sweatshop
"Given that the Fair Labor Association's initial investigation into conditions at Foxconn factories took four times as long to complete, sceptics would be justified in thinking Telstra's decision is primarily commercially motivated."
I'm not disputing the general theme of the article, but how big is Vtech compared to Foxconn? I suspect that Foxconn is at the very least four times bigger.
LG 55LM960V 55in Smart TV
Daul screen sounds pretty cool for gaming, but how do you get your console to output to it? Does it just capture the split screen, and then split them and zoom to full screen?
Panasonic chief says no to low-cost OLED TVs
It might not allow watching 3DTV upside down (if thats what floats your boat), but it is glasses free 3D.

My family and I rarely eat out in a chinese restaurant except in Chinatown. This restaurant, however is excellent. The service is helpful and the atmosphere is elegant but refined. Try the chicken soong as an appetizer it is great but we have never gotten a bad dish here. Try some of the cold plates for something especially different.

PRINCE Releases Another New Song Via 3rd Eye Girl! "That Girl Thang"
The 3rd Eye Girl has struck again! 3rdEyeGirl.com has released "That Girl Thang" from PRINCE, a stripped down number, after releasing "Boyfriend" (demo) on Friday.
3rdEyeGirl.com also teased the release of "L.O.L. (Live Out Loud) with Hannah Ford, Donna Grantis, and Ida Nielsen talking and being asked "Who is the 3rd Eye Girl" for which they have no answer for.
Make sure to head to 3rdEyeGirl.com right now and download "That Girl Thang" and others for only 88 cents!!!!-DocFB
Diagnosis: "Boyfriend" and "That Girl Thang".....? Hmm...
How many times can I bite the apple? I love you, but I don't trust U anymore...
Once again, i love it! Sound so raw yet so content! I love the feeling of this song. Prince, u've gone and done it again!
Wow Prince that song is working my unconsciousness, very nice raw honest song without seduction silliness. One Love
I'm digging the free-fall of the 3rdEyeGirl songs. The stripped-down "simplicity" of That Girl Thang as it follows Screwdriver, Breakfast Can Wait and Boyfriend does paint quite the picture of someone deeply affected with a condition of the heart--how does Prince capture so purely, in lyrical and musical composition, the raw emotions of the senses? Thank you for sharing your words and thoughts.
hmmm ;)
Loving the new tracks. Keep it coming P!
That cheesy video clip is better left unwatched. Just a lame, goofy game where Prince is playing the audience, thinking we don't know HE is "3rdeyegirl". Having his ladies sit there acting ignorant of WHO "3rdeyegirl" is, is just that...ignorant. You'd think Prince and band would have better things to do with their time than make dumb video clips like this. While some may think it's cute, clever and hilarious...I don't. Once again...PRINCE is "3rdeyegirl". Comprende?
I'm not sold on the buying songs from 3rdeyegirl.com way because on the 15th, I purchased 4 songs: Screwdriver remix, Breakfast can wait, RNR remix 7, and Boyfriend Demo, paying 3.52 through Paypal. I get the receipt with download links in my in box. Clicked on all four only to be told: "Invalid Link, Go to Homepage->". Go to Homepage only to have the song titles with 88 cent price tag staring up at me. Looks like I got played. There's no link to contact any "customer support" so, you know what? Prince may be innovative and going about HIS way so he can collect all the coins, but by not going through more commercial means to get songs to fans, people like me are feeling ripped off. No way I'm buying those songs again. Looks like I'll be getting mines for free now from other Prince fans or from blogspots around the net. 3rdeyegirl ripped me off once. They ain't gonna rip me off twice. Good luck, P. Looks like 3rdeyegirl has more problems than a third eye. More like a three legged stepchild to me.
If you stop a second to think about this song, listen to what the words are saying, or rather hinting to, you know exactly what this song is about. Yes, Prince, eye see you.
The gems are coming...love U Will B, Breakfast Can Wait, R&R Affair, Screwdriver, Same Page Different Book, Boyfriend and now that Girl Thing. Awesome way to start 2013.
PRINCE - I Love the "Boyfriend" Song! "That Girl Thang" reminds me of the Truth Album,... which by the way,... can we have that re-released as well so we can buy it? Steve from Michigan
Thank U for this beautiful art, this really is a gift. So special to hear a raw song just as if sitting on the couch with Prince while he plays that for the first time. Thank U so much, Prince, for giving us one great song after the other!
and another cool song by Mr P
ok figured it out... add a .zip to the end of it and unzip it
having same problem... dl a file called THAT with no extension, and when i try to play it nothing, and when i try to change it to wav ... it plays nothing... i have been ripped off on this one
Hey Prince, I dl this 'thang' and my file is a THAT? It won't unfold, play I have 33 mb of' I don't know what' and 3rd Eye says I've had all my dls? :( I wanna listen to what I bought.
Ok nice. But I'm getting annoyed that i keep having to make one time transactions even though they're quick.
Ahhhhhh, Prince, my man....this is such a gem of a song. Feel like you're really sharing a part of you with this one. THANK YOU. And btw, Breakfast Can Wait has now officially become a part of me. You, or whoever you are channelling, are an endless source of inspiration, in musical form.
Cool like Polar Bear Paws!
Ahhhhhh, Prince, my man....this is such a gem of a song. Feel like you're really sharing a part of you with this one. THANK YOU. And btw, Breakfast Can Wait has now officially become a part of me. You, or whoever you are channelling, are an endless source of inspiration, in musical form.
Ha ha ha ha That 3rdEye Girl...... this video is so funny ! I Love the Boyfriend song have not heard the other one "That Girl Thang" as soon as it comes out we will buy it... i have been dancing and dancing on 2 the New songs Awesome All songs Thank U L4L.
I think this is amazing! Thank you doc, thank you so much Prince and 3rd Eye Girl. I read somewhere on Twitter, a comment that Prince is going to release all of these songs through 3rd Eye Girl and then turn around and release an album that everyone is going to buy anyway, then he gets our money twice. Well you know what, I WOULD buy it! Cuz that is how I like to buy my music, in CD form, but only Prince could make me bloody well download music! It's only .88 cents per song! So Mr. P, you and those girls should put out a CD, because we would buy it! Love it, thank you Prince! You the man! But then, you already knew that! :)
The song is pretty cool, it's like Prince popped up at my place with his guitar, sat himself down on the lounge and said "only got time for one"... ... and I said "fine, here's your US$0.88, and be on your way, see you next time." :)
Very nice RAW sound to this little treat, and while I doubt anything from the vault will be released without being touched up or totally redone first, this one sounds like it could have been pulled off the shelf, dusted off and uploaded as is, complete with what sounds like the mic getting bumped a couple of times while recording the song. Regardless though for $0.88, new or old... "wat-a-bargin!" Won't find that deal at the wreck-a-stow assuming you can find a REAL one anymore. Peace!
Incredible song! A lot of raw feeling in this one... but simply sung and played on acoustic guitar. This is the song for those who have fled from him and think he no longer has it...
beautiful ;)
Beautiful...this is the best song on that website! It sounds true and real. Real music.

Lavender Lady~ Anita <3
@Davie319 How can You wait that long???
This is a really nice song. The simplicity of the song with Prince and the acoustic guitar makes this a gem. And I'm loving how we are getting all of these songs. We have MANY Prince fans who are having major issues getting these songs downloaded. I don't know if it's a PayPal thing or a Prince things but this needs to be fixed ASAP. It doesn't take much to piss off a Prince fan, P and his crew needs to do everything in their power to make sure that this isn't a hassle for the fans so that we don't see more fans leave. Even with all of this, I am grateful and I'm looking forward to seeing where the rest of 2013 takes us in The Purple World!

Does NOT play well with Others!
This review is from: KINGWIN KF-3002-BK Multi-Bay Internal Rack, 3 Drives For 2 Bay Space For SATA
Pros: 3 in 2
Cons: Marvell and Asmedia choke on this puppy! Part of me says "if your arm hurts when you lift it.....don't lift it." On the other hand they should fess up to this. The wierd thing is that the file transfers run for a while hiccuping longer and longer and then slooooooly die with "source file not found". KINGWIN....fix it or admit it!

2 bays 3 drives!
This review is from: KINGWIN KF-3002-BK Multi-Bay Internal Rack, 3 Drives For 2 Bay Space For SATA
Pros: Active cooling, dropped six 7200RPM drive temps from 47C to 38C
Cons: Fan is loud!
Other Thoughts: At first i was going to get the 4 in 3 model but then decided to get two 3 in 2 models making it 6 drives in 4 bays. My biggest fear what the small fan size making allot of noise which is why i wanted the one with the 120mm fan.

Great product with a couple small flaws
This review is from: KINGWIN KF-3002-BK Multi-Bay Internal Rack, 3 Drives For 2 Bay Space For SATA
Pros: Adds a great deal of flexibility for replacing drives without having to open your case or pull it out of your desk.
Cons: The connectors for power and SATA would be better placed on the lefthand side of the unit (as viewed from the top/front) rather than the right. Might make this unit impossible to use in some cases, if they're right up against the motherboard (I have a larger case and can luckily access via the right side of the case). As mentioned in the other review - the spring clips on the front doors holding the drives in are not very strong. I was getting I/O errors on one of my drives, so I tried the pencil eraser trick, as suggested in the previous review - which solved the problem. You need to make sure the drives are definitely firmly pressed into place for the SATA/power connections in the back.
Other Thoughts: The plastic keys are a little chintzy, I already broke one by attempting to turn it the wrong direction, so be careful with them.

Best in Class
This review is from: KINGWIN KF-3002-BK Multi-Bay Internal Rack, 3 Drives For 2 Bay Space For SATA
Pros: Very sturdy and well made. Doors are very smooth and getting drives in and out are a breeze.
Cons: The metal strips inside of each door that press against the drives to seat them are a little narrow and probably won't properly contact the back of a Velociraptor, causing it to not appear in the system or only intermittently work, but all of these types or racks seem to be made this way so I can't honestly remove an egg. Pull the eraser out of a new pencil, stuff it behind the strip so it sticks up enough to hit the Raptor's heat sink and voila (THAT'S HOW YOU SPELL IT, NOT "WALLA" OR WHATEVER!), problem solved.
Other Thoughts: There are literally dozens of gadgets that do exactly what this one does on the market. They cram three 3.5" drives into two 5.25" slots and use 2 molex power connectors to power three drives. Most of them are cheap, flimsy, junk. I am an IT professional and have built many servers around many different models of them.

text: Pigford Across the Media Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 26 Apr 2013 post a comment More: Pigford Coming years late to the story, The New York Times finally took a look at the Pigford scandal that Andrew Breitbart, Lee Stranahan and the Breitbart team exposed starting in 2010. At last the story is making an appearance across the media. On Friday morning, April 26, the Times published a long piece titled, "U.S. Opens Spigot After Farmers Claim Discrimination," in which Andrew Breitbart and Congressman Steve King were credited for early criticism of the government's corruption in the scandal. It should be remembered that the left-wing Media Matters for America scoffed at Andrew Breitbart, calling his interest in Pigford the "stupidest conspiracy theory" on the Internet. Now that MMFA's precious New York Times has at last come to Andrew's side on this issue, one wonders whether MMFA will keep its anti-Breitbart/Pigford posts up on its site. A nice recap of the scandal penned by Joel Pollak can be seen on Breitbart.com. But, after the NYT finally hit the story, by Friday afternoon it broke on several sites and across several media outlets. Now that the Times finally noticed the fraud endemic in the tale, many mainstream and even leftwing sources have taken up the banner. Politico took its cue from the Times with its piece, sensibly titled, "Blogs: New York Times vindicates Andrew Breitbart," in which the news website quotes Byron York's Tweet celebrating that Andrew has indeed been proven right. The Daily Beast/Newsweek's Megan McArdle also delved into the scandal. Mother Jones hit the story, too, though strangely acted as if this was a tale of "inevitable ugliness" and white racism instead of massive government waste and fraud. For his part, Dave Weigel of Slate took to Twitter to hat tip Andrew Breitbart in his Tweeted reference to the Times' story. Oddly, by the afternoon of April 26, no TV or radio networks bothered to cover the story. Perhaps as more progressives start discovering the Times' coverage more light will be shed on the story. As to the more conservative leaning sites, many of them also revisited the story today. Most of these had been following Andrew's coverage, to be sure. John Hayward of Human Events celebrated Andrew's victory, as did Fox Nation. Twitter chronicler Twitchy also took note of Andrew's vindication. Legal Insurrection, one of the country's top-notch law blogs, also produced a very informative piece on the re-emergence of the story. Certainly there will be more to come .

Girl groups are delightfully campy
I've got a very tender soft spot for '50s and '60s girl-groups and female-fronted Motown. I'm particularly fond of Dee Dee Sharp, Betty Everett and the delightfully campy Shangri-Las. Oh, the motorcycles! The beehives! The parental disapproval!
The Shangri-Las
The amazing vocals and (probably unintentional) dirtiness of The
Exciters also never fails to put me in a good mood. I've always thought that "He's Got the Power," for example, should be a secret Motown anthem for kinky people. Why have no queer bands ever capitalized on its many double-entendres and done a cover? Why have no drag performers choreographed a clever patriarchy-subverting dance number to it? Why, oh, why?! (Uh, apparently listening to girl groups for too long makes my writing as melodramatic as the music.)
But do today's girl groups compare to the girl groups of yesteryear? For me, the criteria is generally a combination of campness and danceability. If the lyrics are pervert-able or silly and it has a fun beat that I can shake my ass to, I'm a lot more likely to give it
more than just a cursory listen.
I'll admit to loving "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls, if for no other reason than that many a drag queen has performed a fabulous gender-bending take on the song since it came out. I can even get into "Buttons" for its straightforward sexual
aggression. I'm less enthused about the treacly "Stickwitu" and songs of its ilk. Dolls, that's nice that you're professing your undying love, but you're supposed to sing about anonymous sex in sleazy nightclubs!
Also, can we please talk about Danity Kane? Good lord. I saw that Missy Elliott lent some help to their song "Bad Girls," and I hoped against hope that it was a cover of Donna Summer's song of the same name with Missy's beats. I was sadly mistaken.
I don't even care that Danity Kane's song is less preachy and more slutty than Donna's — it's still terrible, save for the 30 seconds when Missy comes in and makes it maybe sorta kinda good. Missy, how much did Puffy pay you for that?
How do you like your girl groups — classy and classic or, uh, less so?

What's This
Hard Rock Café in Oslo, Norway has equipped its doormen with Reveal Media's RS3-SX to reduce the number of violent incidents.
"The cameras are only used in cases where the staff think it absolutely necessary, and to provide evidence of incidents retrospectively," said duty officer Sean Andreassen.
"We experienced an increasing number of situations of violence and intimidation. But after we invested in the cameras, the situation has changed," he added.
Head of Runar Karlsen NHO Service says that doormen and security guards are among the most dangerous occupations, with violence or serious threats a likely occurence over the course of a year.

Lonnie Shelton of Pampa, Texas has just become the proud new owner of a 1948 Lincoln Continental once owned by Babe Ruth himself. The hardtop coupe has the dark distinction being Ruth's last Lincoln. The legendary ballplayer was struck with cancer in 1947 and, after a brief period of remission, eventually succumbed to the disease. Before that, however, the Ford Motor Company honored Ruth for his efforts at promoting Little League Baseball by giving him this '48 Continental. Ruth spent many of his final days traveling behind the wheel of the Lincoln to various speaking engagements.
Shelton found the Continental in the Texas Museum of Automotive History, and while he typically favors muscle cars, the collector couldn't pass up the chance to own the significant piece of baseball's past. He won't disclose exactly how much he paid for the Babe's last ride, but you can get a closer look at the '48 Lincoln in the video below.


text: On October 21, 2001, about 0908 hours mountain standard time, a Bellanca 7ECA, N2987Z, experienced an on-ground collision with a Mooney M20A, N6049X, at the Chandler Municipal Airport, Chandler, Arizona. At the time of the collision, the Bellanca was starting to taxi for takeoff, and the Mooney was standing nearby in the run-up area. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The Bellanca had been rented from PBJ Aircraft, Inc., at the Chandler Municipal Airport. The Mooney was owned by its pilot. The Bellanca sustained minor propeller damage, and the Mooney's wing was substantially damaged. Neither the private pilot in the Bellanca nor the commercial pilot in the Mooney was injured. The personal flights were operating under 14 CFR Part 91, and they were originating at the time. The Bellanca pilot reported that he had completed his engine run-up and had commenced taxiing toward runway 04L's hold short lines, located about 30 feet ahead and to his right. The Bellanca began taxiing from his heretofore stationary location, and he veered left. The pilot indicated that he attempted to correct the airplane's taxi path away from the Mooney that had been located on his left side next to him in the run-up area. The Bellanca pilot indicated that he was able to momentarily stop the left turn. However, the airplane turned left again. Despite his application of right rudder and right brake, the airplane veered left until coming into contact with the Mooney that was still standing nearby in the run-up area.The Mooney pilot reported that he was also located in the run-up area and was performing the pretakeoff check at the time of the collision. His airplane's brakes were set. He had noticed the Bellanca, which had initially been located in the run-up area to his right side, taxiing perpendicular to and in front of his position. The Bellanca turned left and then approached his airplane in a nearly head-on course until it stopped upon striking his left wing. The Federal Aviation Administration Coordinator reported that the Bellanca was subsequently examined. No evidence of any mechanical malfunctions were found with the airplane's directional control and braking system.

An Omaha day care provider has been arrested and charged for allegedly shaking a 9-month-old girl.
Thirty-three-year-old Jennifer Story posted 10 percent of her $100,000 bond Thursday and walked out of the Douglas County Jail. She had been booked for child abuse with intent to commit serious bodily injury, which is a felony. If convicted she would face one to 50 years in prison.
According to police reports, Story called 911 on April 19th to report Sofie Caniglia was ill. Story allegedly told officers that Caniglia vomited and showed signs of having a seizure, however, medical professionals later determined that the girl suffered a subdural hematoma from being vigorously shaken. Police reported at the time, Story was caring for several noisy children at the day care she runs in her home.
Her lawyer, Ben Maxell, says she didn't do it. "Miss Story sends her deepest sympathies and prayers to the Canigila family, but does steadfast maintains her innocence and that no actions on her part caused these injuries to the baby."
Sofie remains at Children's Hospital and Medical Center in critical condition.
Story is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on May 17th. While Story is free on bond she is to have no contact with children under 18 other than her own.

A team of diligent scientists drilling a half mile through Antarctic ice has made a remarkable discovery.
A Significant Start To My Day
The morning ritual. For most it includes tending to teeth, gums, hair, calisthenics, deep breathing, grinding coffee beans, whipping up smoothies or walking the canine. But another more meaningful ritual occurred a few mornings ago….
At the outset, I confess that I have NEVER been nor shall I likely EVER become a connoisseur of one of America's favorite pastimes—shopping.
So often we are jarred into place and forced to reflect on life and just how rough it can be.

Help Desk Responsibilities
Help Desk Analysts will receive, log, and resolve all walk-in requests for assistance (RFA), incoming telephone RFAs, and call box RFAs. A unique tracking number will be assigned to each issue entered into Request Tracker. This number will be referenced in all subsequent communications for tracking purposes. Help Desk Team members will assign a priority based on the following guidelines:
Priority Levels
See: Priority Levels
Creating Tickets
Help Desk Team Analysts will record the issue information into Request Tracker. The following information is required when entering a Request Tracker ticket:
• Date call received – will be auto-populated with system date.
• Time call received – will be auto-populated with system time.
• Caller name and UW affiliation, caller contact information, including e-mail address, and phone number.
• Requestor: who is having the problem, who needs to be notified.
• Building and room number.
• Equipment affected.
• A succinct and meaningful subject line.
• Detailed description of problem or issue, including actions being attempted, error messages, etc.
• Priority, as per the [Priority Scale]
• Assign ticket to a Queue, following the escalation procedure, if necessary.
• Other relevant information about problem occurrence, such as, "is this the first time you have experienced this problem," etc.
Other Responsibilities
Help Desk Team members will also provide the following:
• On-site support as needed and required.
• Contacting the appropriate Help Desk team members to respond to the request for support, as needed. This would include contacting resources at LTI, Technical Services, Facilities Planning, Event Services, Computing and Communications, Physical Plant, Local Building Coordinators, Emergency Services, UW Police Department, Local Contractors, UW Visitors Center, Photography, Lock Shop, UWTV, etc.
• Responding to customer requests for assistance in a timely manner. Once notified of a request for support, Help Desk Team members will respond accordingly based on the priority assigned to the issue as listed in the Response Commitment grid. If information needed to process the request and assign priority is incomplete, then the Help Desk Team member will request additional information at this time.
• Resolving all requests for support in a timely manner. Every effort will be made by the Help Desk Team members to resolve issues within the guidelines established for the various priorities assigned to requests for support. These guidelines may not apply to resolution of issues received for dependent services, such as Physical Plant. See: Resolving Tickets for Dependent Services
• Communicating with the user on progress in resolving the call. Help Desk Team members will provide regular status updates for critical and high priority open issues. Weekly updates will be provided for medium and low priority open issues. All status updates will be delivered by a reply to the requestor within the ticket, or by telephone with contact details commented in the ticket.
• Proposing a viable workaround when possible. Help Desk Team members will make every effort to provide alternate means to fulfill a task that a customer is attempting to perform. Any workaround will be documented in the CSS Wiki.
• Documenting the resolution when closing a ticket. Upon resolution, the Help Desk Team member will document the resolution in the ticket tracking system, notify the user that their incident has been resolved, how it was resolved, complete/correct any ticket information and then close the ticket. Customer correspondence shall:
• Include a polite introduction that conveys purpose. • Provide information the customer needs. • Let the customer know how the problem was resolved. • Include a closing that expresses a desire to provide further assistance. • Thank the customer.
If the request requires advanced-level technical assistance, or technical assistance from another group to resolve the issue, the Help Desk Analyst will escalate the ticket to the Help Desk Supervisor or an advanced-level support team member. Help Desk Team Members are responsible for notifying the requestor when an issue has been escalated.
The Help Desk Supervisor or advanced-level support team member will determine if a resolution can be reached, or whether the ticket needs to be further escalated. If the issue can be resolved without further escalation, the Help Desk Supervisor will assign the ticket to a member of their team, noting the assignment (change of ownership) in the ticket. The Assignee will update the customer according to the response-time commitment grid until resolution can be achieved, resolve the matter, document the resolution, close the ticket, and notify the requestor of the resolution. If the issue cannot be resolved, the Help Desk Supervisor or an advanced-level support team member will update the tracking system with relevant comments, escalate the ticket to the proper support team, and notify the end-user that the issue has been escalated. The advanced-level support team will update the customer according to the response-time commitment grid until resolution can be achieved, resolve the matter, document the resolution, close the ticket, and notify the requestor of the resolution..
Help Desk Escalation Protocol (Direct)
Calls or tickets received by Help Desk Analysts that should be directly forwarded to another support team will be handled in the following manner:
The Help Desk Analyst will create a ticket for the call, or will review the ticket if created directly by a requestor. Once it's determined that the issue should be handled by another support team, the Help Desk Analysts will assign the ticket to the appropriate Queue. The Help Desk Analyst will contact the requestor to advise them that the issue has been forwarded to the another support team, and they will obtain and/or provide any additional information that may be needed, such as room availability schedule. The new support team personnel will then follow existing guidelines for issue resolution, including correspondence with the customer, updating tickets of telephone conversations, and confirmations of appointments made with the customer.
Calls or tickets received by advanced–level support teams that should be forwarded to the Help Desk will be handled in a similar manner. The advanced–level support technician (ALST) will create a ticket if one has not been automatically generated. Once it is determined that the issue should be referred to the Help Desk, they will assign the ticket to the appropriate Queue.
The Help Desk Analysts, including advanced-level support teams, will be expected to respond to issues according to the order in which they are received, status, and the assigned priority. However, team members may change the priority as needed. Such changes will be communicated to the requestor as soon as they are made, usually via a reply in Request Tracker. Critical requests will be given top priority for immediate support. Other requests will be addressed according to the assigned priority, and the age of the issue.
Reporting Requirements
The Help Desk Team Members may be asked to create reports based on criteria such as status, priority, open date, and close date. Such reports may be run daily so that the Help Desk Team Managers can monitor service request status, and provide the most timely customer service possible. Status on open and active service requests will be provided by replies within Request Tracker to the requestor. In addition to these daily status reports, the Help Desk Team may develop reports that will measure help desk effectiveness, based on our established criteria for issue resolution. These reports will be run according to a regular schedule, or on an ad-hoc basis. The Help Desk Team may also create reports to provide information about areas where additional documentation or training for the end-user might be necessary. The Help Desk Team will follow up with ALSTs to ensure that they are adhering to agreed-upon standards for timely and accurate issue resolution.
Responsible Parties
The Help Desk Supervisor has overall responsibility for the Help Desk service requests. The Events Manager has overall responsibility for any Help Desk events requests.
• First tier support will be provided by the Help Desk Analysts. First tier support is defined as any issue that the Help Desk Analysts can resolve without assistance.
• The Help Desk Supervisor, the Events Manager, and the Advance-level Support team will provide second tier production support. Second tier support is defined as any issue that Technical Services or Event Services resolve without assistance of other CSS areas. Also a part of this second tier is Photography and they will handle any requests for studio photography, digital imaging, slides, print and negative work required by our customers. STF personnel will handle student (not class related) requests for equipment.
• Learning Technologies Integration will provide third tier support for technical issues for CSS customers.
• Other CSS areas (Classroom Planning, Business and Administration) will become involved when necessary.

Clinton: Internet freedom should be part of U.S. 'national brand'
Today in her speech on Internet freedom, Secretary Clinton declared:
I hope that refusal to support politically motivated censorship will become a trademark characteristic of American technology companies. … It should be part of our national brand."
She had some tough talk, saying:
Countries or individuals that engage in cyberattacks should face consequences and international condemnation."
She also said:
In an interconnected world, an attack on one nation's networks can be an attack on all."
Clinton took a tough stance, as she ought to have. So many of us rely so much on the Internet, and cyberattackers thousands of miles away can wreak so much havoc with just a few clicks.
Meanwhile, the Chinese government isn't too happy
Referencing Google's donations to Obama's campaigns, an editorial in the Chinese government-controlled Global Times yesterday labeled the U.S. administration as "Government Google" and stated:
The world's top search engine, once hailed by many Chinese as a flagship of global innovation, is now on the brink of being made a political football played by the White House, and has aroused strong, hostile reactions from some Chinese users."

After 60 years the Universal Declaration for Human Rights has not lost its relevance. Serious human rights abuses are reported from all over the world.
– As Governments, we must do all in our power to extend the protection of all human rights to all without distinction of any kind, stated Hjálmar W. Hannesson Permanent Representative of Iceland to the UN on behalf of the five Nordic countries.
In Norway the 60th anniversary of the UNDHR has been celebrated throughout the year by enhanced focus on Human Rights in the Norwegian Parliament, in Public debate, in media and in universities and schools. Respect for human rights is one of the fundamental values underpinning the Norwegian society, and protection and promotion of human rights is a cornerstone in Norwegian Foreign Policy.
On the 11. November the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Jonas Gahr Støre gave a speech "The 60th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Right: What are the dilemmas for foreign policy?" at the University of Bergen.

2013 BMW Alpina B7
Alpina Makes Biggest Bimmer Act A Lot Like An M3 For the time being, BMW has left it up to close collaborator Alpina to create a turbocharged V8-powered rival for the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG and Audi S8. We've been lucky enough to take a few spirited drives in Alpinafied BMWs on the no-limit Autobahns around the company's headquarters in Buchloe, Germany, over the years, and each experience has been solidly hair-raising. Other than creating what may be the country's ultimate everyday Autobahn missiles, Alpina does wonders for the ride and handling of the BMW models they touch, along wi... Read More

We dig super sedans. You get 94 percent of the performance of a sports car (or there abouts) plus the ability to take a few friends along for the hair-raising ride.

Not only will BMW not make an M7, but they even stopped making the incredibly-close-to-an-M Alpina B7 a few years ago.

The Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo long wheelbase revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show today doesn't add anything to the less well-endowed Alpina B7 we saw at Geneva except length, but isn't that enough? The double-turbo'd 4.4-liter V8 brings 507 romping horsepower and 516 lb-ft. of torque – all of which is enough to get the white whale to sixty in 4.8 seconds. ...
All indications are that BMW won't, in the end, be producing an M7 based on its new-generation F01 7 Series. That would've been cool, but before the Mercedes S63 AMG and Audi S8 can breathe a sigh of relief, Bavaria's pseudo-factory partner Alpina has something to say about it, and this is what it spake: the B7 Bi-Turbo – a BMW 7 Series with an ...
The 2009 BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo will join the B6 GT3 race car on the stand in Geneva, and thanks to AutoZeitung, we've got a singular photo and some preliminary specs on the uber-sedan from Alpina.The B7 Bi-Turbo is essentially the M7 BMW forgot to build, packing a twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8 putting out 507 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Alpina claims ...
Controversial BMW designer Chris Bangle may be out of the picture, but Bimmer's new 7-Series still bears his hallmarks. That aside, the new F01-generation holds much promise, with the possibility of a seemingly endless succession of performance variants speeding down the autobahn in hot pursuit. Rumors of an M7 may turn out to be unfounded, although a V12 ...
BMW may have its own tuning division that carries its vaunted M badge, but Alpina enjoys a close relationship of its own with the Bavarian automaker. Alpina's tuner cars are built right off the BMW assembly line and available directly through BMW dealerships. One of the largest tuner firms in the industry, Alpina is preparing to debut two of its newest ...
They finally brought it out, so we covered it. Actually, we shouldn't sound so aloof. After announcing the BMW Alpina B7 way back in February of 2006, the Bavarians finally decided to show us the production version here in Chicago. And although it wasn't much of a revelation, it WAS a rather impressive vehicle in person. As we just told you last week, ...
click above image for a high-resolution gallery of imagesBetter late than never, we always say. The BMW Alpina B7 was actually announced in a press release dated 2/16/2006, but it's taken a while to get the car ready for prime time. We reported on it back then, but we've learned that the super 7-Series will finally be unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show next ...

White Bean and Garlic Scapes Dip & Recipes for Memorial Day Weekend
I had an amazing recipe for ribs to share with you for grilling out for Memorial Day weekend but alas, I thawed out my ribs and they were freezer burnt. Sure I could have made them anyway (since this is a recipe I've made many times before) but there is no way I could have handled the delicious aroma of ribs permeating through the house knowing that I couldn't eat them.
Instead, I thought I'd share my love for garlic scapes with you. Every year when their season rolls around, it makes me so happy that for a moment, I almost wish that they were available all season, if not all year. But part of their charm is that they're here and before you can even begin to imagine getting sick of them, they're gone.
Garlic scapes are the green, Medusa-haired offspring of garlic plants. I'm not sure how much you all know about garlic but it's planted in the fall. There are two main kinds, softneck and hardneck garlic. Hardneck garlic usually shoot up flower stalks in late spring. These stalks are also known as garlic scapes. I cut them off every year so that my garlic bulbs will get plumper & fatter. Imagine the punch of garlic mixed with a little whiff of freshly mown green grass. I adore them. I've been known to create necklaces and large hoop earrings out of them and wear them around the house. Alas, my husband always stops me before I go out in public with them.
There are a lot of ways to use garlic scapes. I made refried beans this weekend and used them instead of garlic. I add them to my scrambled eggs. These are amazingly delicious when goat cheese is added as well. You can add them to baked potatoes and mix them into pasta. They're delicious in stir-fries. I grill them and eat them plain. To be quite honest, I've yet to find a way I don't like them. This white bean dip is my latest find.
This dip tastes like velvety Spring. The brassiness & grassiness of the garlic scapes are tempered by the beans. It's a bit jarring to eat it plain but I found myself inhaling the better part of a loaf of bread with this dip last night. Much later that night I creeped into the kitchen to scrape down the food processor with a spatula to get every last bit. It's addictive.
White Bean and Garlic Scapes Dip
Adapted from The New York Times
Yield: 1 1/2 cups
Note: Serve with freshly toasted bread, pita bread and/or vegetables. I particularly love blanched sugar snap peas with this dip.
1/3 cup sliced garlic scapes (roughly four of them)
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
In a food processor, process together the garlic scapes with the lemon juice, salt and pepper until very finely chopped. Add the cannellini beans and process to a rough paste.
With motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil (this is a perfect time to use the feed tube of your food processor) and process until nice and smooth. Pulse in 2-3 tablespoons of water. Add more lemon juice, salt and pepper if desired.
Place dip in bowl, drizzle with olive oil and serve.

Please Critique my Port St Lucie (& Vicinity) List
- kristainlondon Nov 10, 2007 12:58 PM
Hey gang
It's time for my annual pilgrimage to PSL. You guys were great last year. This year, I've been following you closely and have compiled the following list...please let me know what you think...
Me: Foodie. But likes "food for the people." The first choice should make that clear! I am keen to get some Japanese recommendations, as well as Cuban and Vietnamese. Also, most specifically, I'm flying into Orlando, so a dim sum recommendation in Orlando would be GREAT. (I think I know what you'l recommend, but I just want to double-check.)
OK--so here's what I have on my to-do list...
Fredgies Hot Dog wagon in the parking lot of the Snook Nook Bait and Tackle Shop in Jensen Beach
Prawnbroker in Fort Meyers for seafood.
Crawdaddy's in Jensen Beach for seafood. Particularly the chowder.
Bistro Madeleine in PSL for breakfast.
El Cubanito in PSL. Call ahead for the paella.
Peter's Steak House in Jensen Beach for steaks and a touch of Brooklyn, by way of Austria.
The Flagler Grill in Stuart for a casual but fancy dinner.
Seminole Inn in Indiantown for a nice brunch.
The Black Marlin in Stuart for a casual dinner.
Monkey King in Stuart for local beer! I can't wait. I love local beer.
Ian's Tropical Grill in Jensen Beach for Old Florida and 40% of wine on Thursdays! (Found that tidbit in the Palm Beach Post.)
Delmonico's in PSL. My mom always wants to take me here anyhow. Sweet potato fries, I know.
So that's all I've got. Would love tweaks, replacements, other suggestions, etc. I LOVE local beer and local food. (I think one of the best things about living in England is the emphasis on "eat local." So if you have recs for farmers markets or farm stands or anything market-like, please let me know that too. If you don't want to write an essay on the boards, e-mail via my blog on my About page. You'll find the link to my blog on my profile.)
Cheers, as they say here!
Do not miss Jan's in "downtown" Jensen Beach for breakfast. We spend a week in Stuart every winter and bike to Jan's most mornings. It was out of commission a year or so because of hurricane damage but they reopened in 2006 and it's better than before.
My company owns an estate in Sewall's Point near Stuart (that's why I get to spend a week there each year) and occasionally we have a business meeting there. Several times our group of 10 went to the Flagler Grill but no more; we felt that when you pay $32 for a steak and have to send it back because it was overdone and dry, it's poor value for the money. Good bar, though, one of the best in town.
Thanks for the tip on the Cuban place. Generally we've taken one day out of the six we have and driven to West Palm Beach for our annual Cuban fix. Maybe we'll see the place in PSL instead.
Never had sushi in Stuart because we eat it all the time up in DC and Baltimore.
Finally, Dale's Barbeque in Fort Pierce (Route 1, south end of town) is a MUST unless you are unable to eat pork. This is the real thing, authentic pit-cooked, big ribs, not those silly baby backs, cold beer, beaten-up benches, irreplaceable.
re: jkosnett
Ah, this Dale's BBQ places sounds very intriguing...right up my alley! Must give it a shot.
re: kristainlondon
yes, unlike anything in the UK, I guess. One of my favorite places in London is the S&M Cafe in Spitalfields. We don't have that sort of place here in the USA. Maybe we can make a trade...
Dale's is closed on Sundays, by the way..
re: jkosnett
thought you would like to know Jan's has moved this past month. It is on the Island now and is open for dinner also, plus right on the ocean.
re: jandariley
Where, exactly, is it, relative to the Stuart or Jensen Beach causeways? Can we still bike there from Sewalls Point? And after all that work to rebuild the original location, why move? We'll be there in four weeks, BTW.
re: jkosnett
Flagler Grill has new owners. We're waiting for it to open. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Riverwalk Cafe around the corner from Black Marlin.
Someone suggested Casa Bella, but I've found that they've gone downhill in the last couple years.
There's a great Vietnamese place in PSL- it's on US1 in a strip mall and is basically a hole in the wall, but it's pretty good. Called Double Dragon.
Courtine's in Stuart is terrific- continental.
The Bistro in a plaza off US1 in Jupiter.
I had Dale's food at a housewarming party and it was pretty terrific- pulled pork and cole slaw.
re: twinmommy
Everything in PSL is on US 1 in a strip mall! -;)
I noticed you mentioned the Prawnbroker on the west coast. There is a Prawnbroker in Sewall Point, same owners. My daughter works there as the chef. They are the same people that own the Black Marlin, you should give it a try.
re: jandariley
Jan's is up almost to the Fort Pierce Inlet now, so no biking from Sewalls Point.
The place in Indiantown is quite a distance to go.
I agree that Flagler Grill is over priced and under served, I would second Courtines for a substitute.
Conchy Joe's is a great place but not for the food.
I was also disappointed with Casa Bella a couple of months ago
Pretty solid list overall!....11 Maple Street in Jensen Beach...right next to Peters...is nothing less than outstanding 4/5-star dining....incredible food and presentation...Wine list is a little overdone....but overall excellent....Seminole Inn...Flagler Grill....all very solid....SeaBass at Flagler Grill is always a great choice....CrawDaddy's cajun food is also very, very good...But I do have serious issues with the unprofessional youngsters that decide who gets a table and who doesn't....and they act like they don't need your business...so I no longer give them any.....Did see a mention of Dale's BBQ in Ft. Pierce...we get BBQ sandwiches from there and they're reasonably good for lunch...but hardly to die for....just OK....Conchy Joes...been there 5 or 6 times...food was reasonably good...but service was iffy every time....Chris' Hurricane Bar & Grill is decent for Wings on Jensen Beach Blvd.....
re: LargeLife
One of the most incredible dinners I have ever enjoyed, hand-down, was a five course wine tasting menu at 11 Maple Street. If I could only hit one restaurant in the area it would be 11 Maple Street--hands down.
Most of my food experience in FL are further south and east coast (eg WPB, Delray Beach etc) but I've been to the Prawnbroker twice (Ft Meyers) and found a disappointing inconsistency. I noted the post below regarding the chef and do not mean to be arguementative but the first occasion was very good and enhance by the very nice casual bar before dinner. For whatever cause, the second occasion was far less than satisfactory both regarding the food and the server. It has been a long time now and I have no recorded notes as to particulars. None the less, it was a real disappointment and I have not been tempted to return again.
Dale's in Ft Pierce is a gem. The given address doesn't click with my memory, is it a new location (eg Rt 1?)? I remember it being on Okeechobee Rd (sp) but in any case it is the same place I remember and it is worth a visit or even a bit of a drive.
re: feelinpeckish
Dale's is on Route 1 next to the Toyota dealer, the address is something like 8000 or 10000 S. U.S.1 in Fort Pierce. Unless, like Jan's, it's moved since I was last in the area in January. I certainly hope not.
re: jkosnett
There is also a Dale's on Okeechobee. I think that one has been open longer than the one on US 1.
Just wanted to report that I had the fish tacos at Monkey King yesterday and they were pretty darn good. My uncle had a burger stuffed with blue cheese and carmelized onions and he can't stop talking about it. I would go back!
Also checked out a farmstand (Al's?) that was about a 10 minute drive from the Indrio exit on 95. Great OJ.
More to come!
As mentioned Courtine's on Dioxie highway is one of the best in the treasure coast. Also Riverwalk Cafe in old Stuart is a great find. Small menu but everything is Wonderfull. Brickwall is new in town on Ocean Blvd. in the Stracuzzi plaza excellant food and very resonable wine list.
Stay away from Prawnbroker and Black Marlin. As stated owned by the same family very mediocre!
So had an early lunch at Bistro Madeline...it was good. My mother wasn't sure if it was worth the drive though. I had the monte cristo sandwich which everyone raves about, and while tasty and filling, it wasn't to-die-for.
Had lunch today at Hurricane Grill? The wings place. Was pleased with the plumpness of the wings. Also liked the sweet potato fries (paid $1 extra for those). Nothing gourmet, for sure, but good just the same. I would go back here again for a casual lunch or dinner.

Images of a leggy brunette, large of shades and glossy of lip, wafting around bamboo beach house furniture in a luxurious kaftan, rich Italians on holiday and "haute-hippy chic" all embody the spirit of Italian fashion dynasty Missoni's much copied and eminently recognisable look. But it's not all fashion for the cult brand, with news that they have launched a new online and print magazine entitled 'Moments', in line with Milan Fashion Week.
Broken up into five key sections - Stories, Visions, Making Magic, Now On and The Place To Be, the magazine is set to feature contributions from poets, writers, artists and designers from around the world, creating an online diary into the world of Missoni."It is like opening a door and entering the world of Missoni, characterized by curioisity, warmth and art in all its forms," reads the magazine's mission statement. Composed first and foremost by colour - an aspect customary of the Italian fashion label, as well as words and images, the magazine has been created in collaboration with creatives of all specialities. As they themselves put it, "Missoni is also about creativity, movement, originality and the spirit of the present."
"It is a world that finds beauty even in the smallest things." Sounds like a world we want to be a part of.

For the first brand survey results, the brand of car audio, car navigation products influence significantly larger than the car decoration, car beauty brand in the field of influence, because the industrial structure of the automotive electronics, car decoration, and other labor-intensive relative to The enterprise is still in the most early stages of brand building, the influence of the truly famous brand is mostly limited to industry sources, has not yet reached the middle of the terminal owners.
The past year, the result of the previous survey in the upcoming survey will be much change in it We look forward to more of the dark horse have emerged. Main products: in car camera, are with good quality.
In survey comments, we can also see that terminal owners of critical automotive supplies (electronics) industry's ills broken, especially in the automotive supplies (electronic) industries and enterprises are mostly gone through the process of accumulation of the processing of the original cost, more direct resulted in the automotive supplies industry brand heteropolyacid, the consequences of the line brands less competitive.
