- Enjoyable night out in a reliable restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014Went out for a romantic dinner for my wedding anniversary and all went well. I had just returned from Las Vegas and had eaten at several celebrity chef restaurants. Food and service at Lake Park Bistro were comparable in every way. I had the duck with mushrooms and lentils and my wife had the rainbow trout. Both were excellent. Cheese board and mussels were exactly what you would expect. Food here is not particularly challenging in terms of strange combinations or fusions and that is fine. This is high quality classically prepared food and I appreciate that. Service was attentive and knowledgeable but not over attentive. There was after a bit of delay to engage after seating but after that all went well. The only complaint I have is that in cooler months the window seats are uncomfortable due to the base board heating. Every ten to fifteen you will be roasted by the heater. At first we were excited to get a window seat with the view but it was a mixed blessing to say the least. If is is cold outside, request a table away from the windows.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Perfect for a special eventmdfangDined on 11/15/2014The food was outstanding. The waiter was patient as well as well informed about the food. I had a problem with the French Onion soup and he graciously sent it back without any hassle. The restaurant is right by the lake so during the day, the view is fantastic. The beverage person keep my coffee cup full at all times. My group each bought an appetizer that we shared. I would recommend the Sea Scallops. My friend has the Mushroom soup and absolutely loved it. I tried the Lamb t-bones. Good but too strong of flavor for me. The Ribeye was good. The best meal was the special for the day, beef ribs. They were so tender and flavorful. I tried the Chocolate cake dessert. A little too expensive for a small disk of chocolate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Decent food - cute restaurantNew2mkeeDined on 10/28/2014I really would have given this restaurant 3.5 stars but there is no option for half stars - and 3 stars it too low. The gnocchi we ordered was so salty I could not eat it. They also over salted the fries that went with the mussels too. The mussels were decent not great. My favorite dishes that night were the salad with butter lettuce and the lamb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food. Long service.FoodieVIPDined on 10/26/2014We had brunch at Lake Park Bistro on Sunday. The food was very good, however the service, while attentive, was very slow. Nearly two hours for a three course brunch. The waits between courses was extremely long.Special Features:

- Superb food!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/20/2014Lake Park Bistro never dissapoints. Wonderful food from the fresh bread, salads and main courses. We had the lamb, duck and chicken and each dish was wonderful as well as the sides; potatoes, mushrooms and veggies. The table was a little dark and the waiter was not the best, but adequate, but the service could be a bit better to really make this "perfect" dining.Special Features:

- JudithDined on 10/17/2014Our waiter was outstanding - friendly, knowledgable and efficient without hovering! Food was delicious(I had salmon and beet salad - loved both). The view of the lake and the fall color was great.Special Features:
- Better than ParisRichNYCDined on 10/12/2014Having been disappointed time and again in Paris (but not elsewhere in France), it was refreshing to eat the real thing in Milwaukee during our annual visit from NYC. Best onion soup anywhere. Ou need not select a pricy wine to enjoy a well chosen half bottle with excellent flavor.Special Features:
- Simple, Delicious French FoodMamaBeetleDined on 10/12/2014This was my husband's and my third visit to Lake Park Bistro. We're from the Chicago area and don't get to Milwaukee often, so we weren't sure if this visit would be as good as our first two. We were once again wowed! I started with a special salad that was one of the best I've ever had: warm roasted butternut, arugula, tender pieces of roast duck, all dressed in a whole grain mustard/duck confit-based vinaigrette. The salmon I had came perfectly prepared: medium-rare with a crust on the outside with a moist interior. My husband who is very hard to please had the roast chicken and loved it. He finished his meal with a glass of port, while I grudgingly shared a couple of bites of my chocolate mousse and raspberry sorbet with him. Fabulous!Special Features:
- Haughty StaffcoolerbythelakeDined on 10/11/2014We had a pleasant dinner, but I can't say our dining experience was outstanding as I normally would. We were served PEI muscles which were tiny and tough. We understand what the size and consistency of muscles should be from experience, and PEI muscles on websites are described as meaty. When we mentioned it to our waiter, he said they could be small this time of year. He sent over a haughty manager with a french accent who did not introduce himself, did not ask how our food was and proceeded to lecture us on the fact that muscles are always this size. He has definitely not gone to the Ritz Carlton school of customer service. What could we say? We simply thanked him for "educating" us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always deliciousLemonadeDined on 10/11/2014We have eaten at Lake Park Bistro many times and never had a bad meal or bad service. Great record, great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- superbcuisineOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/8/2014The specialty beers at the bar were wonderful. My wife had the Lindemans Framboise and talked about it several times during our evening. This was a special dinner for her birthday. Beet & pear salad was a real taste treat. Chef's divided it onto two plates so we could each have some. Our individual entre meals were exquisitely prepared and absolutely delicious. Everything was perfect right down to the fine sorbet for desert. Wait staff was top notch, attentive, friendly, and pleasant. All around perfect evening.Special Features:
- Red SnappersuggestionsDined on 10/8/2014I took an old friend of my parents for her 82nd birthday lunch at LPB. table by the window and was so nice. Everything so beautiful. Greg was our server and he was super, great attitude very helpful. My friend had the lovely squash soup and a delightful salad. I ordered the $27 Red Snapper and was shocked to see how small the piece was, as though it was the last snipit of tail end of the fish. Just bigger than a business card. It was cooked beautifully but a tad fishy. Great sauce and the brussel sprouts were the best ever. The complementary flourless chocolate cake was devine. Thank you so much, it was appreciated. I would never complain in this situation but I was dissapointed. Last time I had the Red Snapper it was fabulous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food/disappointing serviceout2eatDined on 10/4/2014Our 2nd time to LP Bistro for our 10yr anniversary. Evening started on a dubious note as once seated we waited almost 20 minutes for our server to take our drink order or be acknowledged. Some kind of mix-up I'm sure. I guess you could say, that we felt invisible to the service. The server was nice enough....but even after the initial wait our drink order took at least another 10 minutes I would say. Our 1st and only other LP Bistro experience was much, much better and friendlier. So, I think if we should visit again....we may intentionally pick a different night and see how that goes. Food was good enough, just goes to show you how both food and service combined make it memorable or not!Special Features:
- Great MealjimwachhDined on 10/4/2014They did a great job with our reservation. We requested 7 PM with a window table and we were seated right at 7 at a window table with a beautiful view. Our waiter, Chris was very prompt and professional pacing our meal beautifully. Our meals were delicious, one little glitch was my wife was served cold mashed potatoes. Chris took care of it immediately when she let him know! All in all a great night out!Special Features:
- bfarrDined on 10/4/2014steak with sauce was done just right , full of flavor. The sea bass , shrimp, and mussels, en papiotte was without flavor and over cooked, I should have known better but thought the restaurant would deliver like usual. Everything else was what I expect when I dine there.Special Features:
- Lovely restaurantDeliciousdishDined on 10/3/2014Everything was wonderful but the acoustics in the lake room made conversation difficult. It was very loud.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not up to reputation.SansCesseDined on 9/29/20143 of the 4 of us ordered hamburgers. All of us wanted the meat medium. None of us got it. Since we were pressed for time we didn't mention it.
- Most accommodating! !OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/27/2014This was our 25th anniversary dinner with our family, dinner was appetizers through dessert and everything was delicious. I had the steak tartar for an appetizer, it was awesome. I had fish wife and daughters had steak son in law had the duck everything was perfectSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous food!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/27/2014Not only was the food exceptional, but they made us feel so special as we celebrated our anniversary. The card on the table and the glasses of champagne made us feel that they were truly glad to have us celebrating our special day with them. Will continue to go there for every anniversary dinner.Special Features:

A Cork-based manager for computer giant Apple was the focus of a complaint that he had "wiggled his butt" in front of employees at the company's headquarters in the US.
Senior executive James Verner made the claim against Irish manager Will Reeeves, who was dismissed just three months after turning down a €400,000 relocation package to California, the Herald reports.
Verner, who denied any personal vendetta against Reeves, said he was dismissed despite performance rankings that made him one of Apple's top worldwide managers.
Mr Verner's claim, which was made before an Employment Appeals Tribunal hearing on Thursday, came despite Apple acknowledging in written submissions that "the complaint is without foundation."
"(He was alleged to have) wiggled his butt in front of the group," said Verner.
Counsel for Mr Reeves, who is taking an action for unfair dismissal against Apple, dismissed the allegations as "untrue."
It emerged that a female US employee, who had had earlier been placed on a 'performance improvement programme' over her work by Reeves, made the complaint against him.
Mr Verner, who is Apple's Director of Global Planning, said Mr Reeves had been in charge of spare parts and support materials for the firms European, Middle Eastern and African operation.
Reeves took over the role of Project Management Officer where he ran a team based at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., in 2009. Mr Verner decided Reeves would be more effective in his role if he relocated from Cork to California and an offer was made to Mr Reeves to relocate. Mr Reeves and his wife went with his wife to California but decided not to accept the position a few weeks later, citing family reasons.

Yankees president takes issue with ESPN price point
I attended a news conference at Yankee Stadium Tuesday regarding the Yanks' efforts to make the building what team president Randy Levine called "what we believe is the most accessible stadium that's ever been built."
More on that in the Wednesday paper.
Levine and COO Lonn Trost declined to reveal details of the pregame ceremonies for Thursday's opener, but Levine confirmed George Steinbrenner still is scheduled to attend.
Levine spoke at length about the matter of high-priced seats at the stadium - more on that in the Wednesday paper, too. He said his biggest pet peeve regarding criticism on that subject is those he believes are being hypocritical.
For example? Levine cited ESPN, perhaps with Sunday's "Outside the Lines" report on highly priced tickets still ringing in his ears.
"I dont see ESPN in a recession going to their customers and saying, 'You know what, were going to cut those cable rates. Were going to take less from subscribers,''' he said.
"I dont see ESPN taking stuff off the Internet and migrating it off of paid content. So as I said, you want to criticize, thats great. But be consistent."

Dear Friends,
One of the things I love about the couture class is that we're making so many different samples of various techniques. The samples provide just enough practice so that we get the general idea but they don't take for–ev–er to complete.
Because of car troubles (I couldn't get the car to turn OFF! How crazy is that?), I missed almost the entire class session where our professor lectured on the various laces and demonstrated two lace appliqué techniques. I thought I understood it when she quickly explained it to me after everyone left but when I sat down to do it last week, I was stumped. Last Friday, I was able to look at my classmates' samples and I "got it." But, that means I'm doing last week's homework as well as this week's before class on Friday.
Okay, on to the main event:
Lace appliqué works best if the lace has a distinctive cord around the edge, such as Alencon. We trimmed the net close to the motif and then used a narrow zig-zag stitch to sew the lace to the base fabric. We then turned the fabric over and carefully trimmed the base fabric away from the appliqué.
Our other appliqué was with beaded lace. Again, we had to trim away the netting as close to the motif as possible without losing any of the beading. For some of my classmates, that entailed tying the thread holding the beading in place if they had to cut filligree off of the motif. Fortunately for me, I only lost one bead and was able to cut fairly close to the motif without having to tie anything off. After I trimmed off the netting, I used a variation of a whip stitch and an invisible stitch to sew the motif to the base fabric.
I feel pretty good about my "first time at it" handiwork but (and this is the purpose if this exercise, right?) I can tell that I need a whole lot more practice at trimming away the netting and using the machine to stitch down a motif.

According to BioPlan's Top 1000 Global Biopharmaceutical Facilities Index, 37.5% of global biopharmaceutical manufacturing capacity exists outside of North America and Europe (2). Holding respectively
8.5% and 8.1% of global biomanufacturing capacity, China and India are emerging on the global scene, followed by Japan and
other Asian countries, which have 9.6% of global biomanufacturing capacity and Latin America at 6.5%.
It is no surprise that countries, such as China and India, which are rapidly developing biomanufacturing clusters, appear
high on the list of likely country destinations for international outsourcing. Among all industry respondents to the BioPlan
annual study, China ranked highest as a potential international outsourcing destination with 26.2% of respondents (up from
17%) indicating that there was a "likelihood" or "strong likelihood" that they would outsource production to facilities there
in the next five years. Next on the list was India, cited by 18.4% of respodents, up from 13.2% in 2011.
It is worth keeping in mind that China was a late starter in the area of contract manufacturing. The few internationally based
CMOs in China are working hard to establish a global presence, and legal and regulatory aspects continue to hinder commercial-scale
contract manufacturing. Nevertheless, there continues to be excess pharmaceutical production capacity in China, so outsourcing
may permit improvements as the idle capacity of many production facilities is addressed. It may take years for Chinese CMOs,
however, to come up to full cGMP standards and to be permitted to operate at commercial scale. The BioPlan survey data shows
that by 2017, between one-third and almost one-half of the industry will be outsourcing some form of operations internationally,
with China a key component of future plans. Assuming that acceptance of offshoring continues to increase and that key emerging
destinations, such as China, reach the necessary regulatory standards, it is reasonable to assume that by the end of this
decade, offshoring will have become a mainstream activity.

Guido Almada is a small community just inside the border of the department of Cordillera in central Paraguay. The nearest town of Cleto Romero, about 5 kilometers away, is accessible only by a twisting dirt road, as is the nearest city of Carayao, about 25 kilometers farther. Like much of the rest of Paraguay, Guido Almada is a farming town with almost all of its roughly 500 inhabitants practicing agriculture on a subsistence, if not commercial, scale. The main cash crops upon which most people derive their modest and often tenuous salaries are tobacco (petỹ in Guraraní, an indigenous language) and orange essence (esencia de naranja in Spanish), which must be processed in homemade distilleries. Large tracts of land are also devoted to growing sugarcane, which many farmers choose to sell to the local cane-ethanol production plant that operates out of Carayao.
For subsistence, there is nothing out of the ordinary about Guido Almada. Mandioc, the starchy root that is a Paraguayan staple, is often intercropped with field corn and sometimes beans (referred to by any one of five different names in both Guaraní and Spanish). This starchy trifecta forms a slight variation on the classic "three sisters" cropping system (beans, maize, and squash) used for centuries by indigenous tribes of North America. Regardless, the principle is more or less the same: The leguminous beans provide a valuable nitrogen source to both other crops while the heavy-feeding corn and the light-feeding squash (or mandioc in the Paraguayan case) are complementary. The soil-shading and weed-suppressing capacity of the broad squash leaves is also mimicked by the mandioc. Some families use small-scale home gardens to help supplement their diet with additional vegetables, but still, the diet is primarily and at times almost entirely carbohydrates.
Most residents of Guido Almada live at what would likely be considered a normal Paraguayan socioeconomic state. Typically, the houses are made of wood slats or mud bricks and bamboo with dirt floors. A few houses whose owners are slightly better off are made of cement brick with concrete floors. Food is cooked over open fires or, in the case of wealthier families, propane-fueled stoves. Electricity and water services are accessible to most Paraguayans at relatively inexpensive rates, however, with unreliable infrastructure, one is lucky if they are actually available half the time. Cars are almost nonexistent in Guido Almada, but most families own a motorcycle for when quick transport is needed, or an oxcart if large loads need to be moved.
The soccer field is groomed daily by herds of cattle, bringing about the great query of rural soccer games: Which is better, long grass or piles of cow droppings? Kids in Guido Almada hedge their bets on their fast feet and take the latter. I must say from experience that I would choose longer grass, but that's just me.
The local church and school are simple structures that seem to be visited only when deemed necessary—the church only on Sundays and religious holidays (in this predominantly Catholic country) and the school only during the academic year (from mid-February through the end of November). Otherwise, people pass hot summer afternoons drinking tereré, a cold tea, and sharing town gossip. In such a small and isolated town where a majority of people are either from the same family or have lived under the same roof their entire lives, one can only imagine the thickness of the drama that plays out here under the sweltering Paraguayan sun. As for me, being the first Americano to live in Guido Almada has been all sorts of interesting. Yes, interesting; I think that's the best word for it. More on this in my next blog.
From Guido,

I found this recipe from Everyday Paleo. It's so simple and delicious. It has so much flavor, you wont even think about needing to add BBQ sauce. Best of all… I literally threw this into the crock pot during a commercial break. It doesn't get much faster than that!
Quarter two yellow onions and place in the bottom of the crock pot. Cover roast with dry spice rub, work it into the meat a bit.
Cover and cook on high for 5 to 6 hours and then turn down to low for another 3 to 4 hours, depending on the size of your roast (mine didn't take quite that long), or until the roast is literally falling apart and easy to shred.
Shred with a fork and put back into crock pot for a few minutes to soak up the cooking juices (I skimmed a little of the fat out first).
My (adapted from Everyday Paleo) rub recipe:
2 tbsps chili powder
2 tsps cumin
2 tsps onion powder
2 tsps oregano
1 tbsp dried parsley
2 tsps kosher salt

text: Oprah Imports Thousands of Gallons of Water Daily to Her 40-Acre Estate Print article Send a Tip by Kelli Serio 27 Aug 2014 post a comment Oprah Winfrey has reportedly been getting thousands of gallons of fresh water delivered daily to her massive Montecito estate--which she refers to as "The Promised Land"--in response to increased restrictions on water usage. In light of one of the most severe droughts in California's storied history, local officials have mandated involuntary water restrictions statewide. Los Angeles' earliest settlers struggled with a shortage of water in the area, and it wasn't until the famous Los Angeles Aqueduct was completed in 1913 that the area's water problems were solved, and L.A. county was open for settlement by the masses. Water has been scarce lately, but that hasn't stopped Oprah Winfrey. Last November, the general manager from the Montecito Water District warned locals that they would run dry if they failed to reduce their water consumption by at least 30 percent. Fast forward to today: tanker trucks are drawing water from lakes and wells in surrounding areas in Santa Barbara County and then distributing up to 5,000 gallons to Winfrey and other residents before 7 a.m. every morning. The philanthropist's annual water bill was an estimated $125,000 about a year ago. This year, it is already cut in half, thanks to this method of bypassing local regulations. CA Gov. Jerry Brown issued a statewide drought emergency in January, and now almost every part of the state is feeling the ramifications. "We ought to be ready for a long, continued, persistent effort to restrain our water use," he said. A columnist from the Montecito Journal estimated that nearly a third of Montecito residents are following in Oprah's foot steps, and each spend around $15,000 per month for freshly delivered water.

Kindle Fire: An open letter to Jeff Bezos
Mr. Bezos, I love everything about Amazon. You have created a world where I can sit on my couch, read War and Peace, listen to Lady GaGa and order toilet paper - all from the same company and now, with the Kindle Fire, from a single device. I have raved for months on Twitter, Google+ and on my podcast, Nekkid Tech that in a few …
Simple Solution
Simply a case of "You get what you pay for" The Fire is not an iPad killer... yet.
Frankly, I am not a fanboy, am often very critical of Apple, and I also hoped to buy several Fires as holiday gifts. However, I really did enjoy your creative way of expressing the same disappointment I felt at the dearth of "in-house" features in the Fire. (all of which can easy be accessed on the iPad).
Solution: Go back to the gift cards with a $250 Apple card to help they can buy the only device that they will not be frustrated with.
"Solution: Go back to the gift cards with a $250 Apple card to help they can buy the only device that they will not be frustrated with."
The guy wants to combine walled-gardens and fails. The solution is not to dash to another walled-garden where the guy will immediately find that it too is not compatible with one of his walled-gardens of choice.
When all the spoilt brats are hoarding their toys, don't whine about not being able to combine the Action Man belonging to one of them with the Barbie belonging to another. Just go and hang out with some decently behaved kids instead.
The Fire has been rooted. Install base Android on it. Easy.
Re: the iFan Simpleton Solution
I respectfully suggest that you take your $250 Apple card, roll it into a cigar shape, then use it on yourself as a suppository*.
* - Means 'Work it up your dirtbox' (just in case you are not a real doctor and don't know what a suppository is).
You got more than what you paid for
I do not see much sense in whining about a missing native gmail app, when he gets tons of native media apps, single-touch access to tons of stuff at fantastic price. You still have a native email app that supports reading your gmail and ofcourse you can read gmail on your browser or install 3rd party email apps that look better (the other walled garden btw didn't have a gmail app until like very recently, and yet who cares). I would rather have a simple interface to my email and watch/read tons of content at the best price, than fuss over how good my email client looks like.
Anyone else noticed...
...how many people appear to have registered at elReg today JUST to post a comment on this article.
Or is it just me?
drtom, Tetractys, anamik, sykottik and no doubt others all felt the need to register (and all within 30 minutes of each other!) to tell everyone that they either now won't be buying a kindle Fire presumably on the basis of this one article, or are returning the Kindle Fire they've already bought.
Do astroturfers really have such little respect for us now that they don't even put in the basic effort anymore?
Great for the average consumer that isn't it?
It's like saying to a person who has just bought a car that they can access the ECU with a special cable and tweak the settings. Great for geeks but your average consumer struggles to replace their IE browser with something else.
Anything beginning "I am not a fanboy"...
is inevitably posted by a fanboy
Astroturf is the new marketing
And as we can see Apple and many others have embraced it. i'd love to see what their budget is for such things, as it is pretty obvious that in at least the last year and a half (when i first started to really notice the blatant ones) that astroturf by corps is the order of the day. Here is just a list of a few I've seen doing it, Apple, MSFT, Oracle, EA, Dell, Intel, HP. But as you pointed out they have gotten lazy about it, creating an account for a single post followed by promptly tossing it and then making another next time. I don't know if we should be insulted or happy the PHB astroturfing is so easy to spot.
Shouldn't he write an open letter to Larry Page?
The article sounds like the author was under some wrong impressions and clearly does not understand how licensing works and what platforms mean. Kindle fire is a fork of android, as such it is not Google's platform. It seems Amazon would have had to pay Google for the proprietary Google Applications, which are not available with the open-source distribution of android. This is Amazon's platform, Google apps have to be available through the Amazon Appstore, just like the kindle app is available through google's marketplace or apple's app store on android and ios. It is upto Google to make their proprietary apps available on Amazon's appstore. Having said all that KF lets you access gmail in the native email client. There are also 3rd party email apps on Amazon's appstore which provide a better interface and access to gmail and ofcourse you can browse gmail on the web browser. KF lets you share stuff on facebook because facebook has opened its API for 3rd party developers, Google+ I am not sure has done that. Google in general aren't every good at providing APIs to 3rd party developers. In short, he should write an open letter to Larry Page.
An open letter to El Reg
Please can you not use any articles from this Greg bloke again as it appears he brings along a lot of astroturfers and his article is generally inane.
Put Andoid ICS on it
I wouldn't worry for too long.
Take the nice cheap hardware, thanks Amazon. Then look out for the imminent release of Android ICS 4.0 from the ROM cooking boys. You can dump all the amazon spyPad software they have put on it. You'll have all your google apps and still have access to all the other stuff on your new hardware.
That's what I and many more start people will be doing too :)
"dump all the amazon spyPad software"
"You'll have all your google apps"
You dislike the thought of Amazon potentially spying on you but you'd welcome the master spies at Google to read your email, documents, know all your web browsing habits, your social circle and much more? What exactly makes Amazon scary but Google completely harmless?!
"What exactly makes Amazon scary but Google completely harmless?!"
Google told us they were harmless, of course! Sheesh, young people these days.
Quite right, Windrose!
If you can't trust mature, level-headed people like the Google founders, you might as well not trust journalists and politicians.
Easy. We trust Google, we trust Amazon less. It doesn't need to be a logical or rational choice, that's just how consumers are. We never trust any of them completely, nor do we ever not trust them at all. If they have something we want, we'll trust them.
"Easy. We trust Google, we trust Amazon less. It doesn't need to be a logical or rational choice, that's just how consumers are. We never trust any of them completely, nor do we ever not trust them at all. If they have something we want, we'll trust them."
We trust Google more than Amazon because Amazon is selling things to us, while Google is selling us to other people. There is inherent strain in the relationship where one is trying to sell you something, because we must protect ourselves from "being swindled" by the big bad salesman.
But doesn't that put the onus on Amazon?
Since, after all, they're trying to sell things TO US. Which means we hold an important power: the power to say NO. Google will always find buyers because a person is a person is a person to demographics firms. But for Amazon, they have to make sure they provide things that actual consumers want to buy, not just in the Fire but also in the stuff FOR the Fire. After all, if we look at something from Amazon and pass it up, Amazon doesn't get the commission, so they don't make money. See how that would motivate Amazon?
It just puts the onus on Google!
"Google will always find buyers because a person is a person is a person to demographics firms"
Here is the thing, google's products are successful only as long as there is a need for them. With Fire's price point and the package on offer --- easy access to media and a brilliant deal, "google's icing products" are actually icing, that's it. Google will be forecd to make their apps available on Amazon's app store, just like they did on Apple's app store, otherwise Google will miss a very large segment of tablet buyers.
"After all, if we look at something from Amazon and pass it up, "
That is true only if you cannot do the math and reasoning, and are madly in love and are crazy for Apple and Google products. I suspect Google's offerings are only the icing on the cake, the real things win!
While I certainly have an opinion regarding the subject matter, this post is primarily about the quality of the article. The author's numerous arguments are made with such clarity and conviction. It's refreshing to read such a well written piece. I look forward to your next.
It baffles me what sort of moron could possibly object to your post and have down-voted it.
Re: Baffled
Good grief Chris. I know it is early on a Monday but wake up man. He didn't mention WHAT article or WHICH author. This isn't a post. It is a BOT getting in a 1st "relevent" post to try and get around the spam detectors.
Re: Re: Baffled
It won't be a bot - but it might be a real live spammer.
We will keep an eye out.
I believe the downvotes are for the astroturfing dear chap. At least, mine is.
Why on earth would you register an account just to emit that bland nothing?
I assumed it was his Mum.
I found the article in the style of a letter pretty irritating myself.
But I do have some fine trainers for sale.
Licensing issues?
Android itself is open source, but Google's apps (Gmail, Maps, Market) are not, and manufacturers are not allowed to distribute them without Google's consent.
I'd be surprised if Google was willing to license their proprietary apps (like Gmail) to a competitor like Amazon without requiring the Market app to be preloaded as well. Amazon on the other hand is selling the Kindle Fire more or less at cost and needs to make money by selling content, so preloading Google's Market app on the device is probably the last thing they want to do.
It's Google Not Amazon
Exactly right, the lack of Google apps on unlicensed Android implementations like the Fire is a Google restriction not an Amazon one (though I'm sure in this case Amazon are quite happy to not be allowed to install them).
Android itself is 'free' and open source but the Google store and other Google apps are not.
Putting out the Fire
I'm also returning my new Fire after experiencing the same letdown as Greg. But I'll go a step further. It's bad enough that I bought the Fire thinking I'd have access to all my Google apps only to find I don't, but with normal fast page switching the Fire locks up, requiring rebooting. It will scramble Web pages with overlays of thumbnails of your most recent sites tiled across the screen like a chessboard. There's no way out of this fault other than rebooting again. I'm not sure how the Fire was beta tested (or whether the team figured for US$200 a few kinks would be OK), but this isn't an iPad killer or even a good smartphone supplement. I watched a movie last night, and somehow the image became inverted. Again, the only way to right it was to shut down the device, restart everything and reload the movie. US$200 is certainly less than $800, but it's still too much to pay for a broken toy with core features missing.
If 'inverted' means upside down not 'left to right and upside down' I suggest an easier solution would have been to turn the device top to tail!
never smoked astroturf...
That's nice. I'm sure you're telling the truth too, as one of only 6 or 7 people who signed up specifically to say you're taking your fire back, cos it's not as good as your ipad. I'm sure you're not astroturfing. Honestly.
I don't know anything about amazon uk but amazon us says
"Kindle Return Policies
You can return any Kindle you purchased directly from Amazon.com for a full refund within 30 days of the day you received it as long as it is in new condition and in accordance with our return policy."
Good grief, another astroturfer signing up specifically to talk about returning the fire. Someone at Apple must be very scared.
Or possibly google.
Or, possibly, Samsung.
Your article says that gmail is not available on the fire, but amazon's website states that you can access gmail with the fire. When I get my fire, hopefully the post will arrive today, I will make sure that I can get gmail using the device. If not, then amazon is guilty of false advertising and I'll be returning mine as well...thanks for the warning...hope you are wrong and I will be able to check my gmail.
You can access gmail via the included email app, that's what I did and it works beautifully.
I don't believe the problem is actually *reading* your gmail. I suspect you could do that by using the web interface. The author wants to load the gmail app.
thanks for clarifying
I do not have a fancy cell phone and have not used an "app" unless you count what came on my gateway laptop so my lack of understanding led to a post that had the author not assumed his readers know what one of those app things is and defined it I would have fared better. Thanks for pointing out the difference.
Your "gateway" laptop
Is that the laptop you used even though the government warned you not to which turned out to be a gateway device? Did the dealer wait till you were hooked on the laptops and then sell you tablets too?
Oh, sorry, I remember, there used to be a computer maker called Gateway...
"I do not have a fancy cell phone and have not used an "app" unless you count what came on my gateway laptop so my lack of understanding led to a post that had the author not assumed his readers know what one of those app things is and defined it I would have fared better. Thanks for pointing out the difference."
Why exactly are you reading a tech site if you haven't bought a piece of kit in a decade? Go to lolCNN or MSNBCroflcopter for your "must haves of the holiday season" garbage articles.
Or buy a Mac. You're pretty much their target audience.
What did you expect?
No sympathy here...
How was this device marketed? As a kindle or a full blown android tablet like the Xoom?
That's right, a Kindle. If you want the full functionality that comes with a full tablet, then you buy one of those.
I am waiting for my Kindle Fire to arrive, and I'm looking forwards to a device I can use for the things a Kindle is meant for...
What part of this being an unofficial android fork did you not understand?
That you thought it would run the android google app suite is an indication of how clueless you are, not anything else.
Mr. Knieriemen, I appreciate your speaking to Mr. Bezos civilly, as though he were an honourable man. But the sad reality is that he did indeed want to create this user experience. Some people in the world really have decided to give themselves over to evil for a little more money, and Mr. Bezos is one of them.
I thought it was Google
who decided which devices could run Google apps. Android maybe open source (or not depending on your outlook, but that's another story) but Google apps aren't. I can appreciate your frustration at not having these apps on your Fire, but I think you should be writing to Google, not Amazon.
source - http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/09/note-on-google-apps-for-android.html
That's correct. And it's actually trivial to get the majority of Google Apps installed. But, that doesn't make as big of a story, so...
I don't think its correct to blame Amazon here given their strategy with the Kindle Fire.
Foremost, the lack of Google services is not because Amazon is actively blocking them, its because the official Google Android apps (GMail, GTalk, Android Market, etc.) only get put on official Android devices (with the approval of Google). The Kindle Fire is not that device because Amazon forked Android.
Simple solution
Ever hear of "get what you pay for/'?
Someone has to say it,,,
Get an iPad.
I really don't mean to be snarky, and I am quite critical of Apple in many way. i too was hoping the Fire would be a more affordable solution for exactly the same reason - holiday gift giving. Fact is, that right now, the Fire will only lead to more frustration than appreciation on the part of my donees. i really did enjoy your very creatively written article. Best bet is go back to the gift card for this year.. I'm sure a $250 Apple gift card toward the purchase of the only thing that exists that does it all will be greatly appreciated.
"I'm sure a $250 Apple gift card"
Don't tell us: if you mention this damned gift card 250 times in Internet forums, Apple will give you one for real. Thanks for the repeat spamming, apparent astroturfer!

text: Luis Alonso Luengo in his article: La gastronomía y el Paso Honroso de Suero de Quiñones states that it was thought that the Bible prohibited the conveyance of dead organic substance and live organic substance to the mouth, by means of metal, such as a fork. In other words Christians were was prohibited to meat, fowl and fish with fork but not fruit. As Mohammad did not forbid it. Enrique Villena in Arte cisoria instructs that the fruit fork was acceptable as it is not a dead organic substance. Does know where there this is found in the Bible. I think what is missing here is that metal was not allowed in the mouth but it doesn't make sense because knifes were used to pick up food and carry to the mouth. For soups we have wooden spoons but metal spoons seem to have come in early. As wooden spoons were ok why didn't they have wooden forks? I think I am a bit tangled up here. Suey

Unlike Joseph Marx, Korngold has undergone a tremendous rehabilitation in recent years, especially on record. Indeed by 1997, his centenary year, virtually all of his major works were available on disc, often in several versions. Born in 1897 in Brünn, he was one of the most astonishing child prodigy composers in history. His career—from wunderkind in Imperial Vienna to major operatic composer, before becoming a pioneer of symphonic film music in Hollywood—is well known.
The Piano Concerto in C sharp was written when he was in his mid twenties, in the wake of his greatest operatic triumph, Die tote Stadt, and when he was already one of the most important composers in Austria. It is forgotten today that by 1925 he was the most performed composer after Richard Strauss—in German-speaking countries at least. It is not surprising therefore that Wittgenstein turned to him for the first commissioned left-hand concerto. Prior to this, only one other left-hand concerto existed—that written by Count Géza Zichy (a pupil of Liszt) in 1902.
If the Marx concerto resembles a symphony, then the Korngold assumes the character almost of a symphonic poem. Conceived in one continuous movement, it uses a very large orchestra with considerable virtuosity and is formally so intense and concentrated that it is difficult to absorb at a single hearing. The term 'concerto' is derived from the verb 'concertare' meaning 'to struggle', and here Korngold takes this term literally, with the need for musical conflict taken to new heights of expression.
Unlike Marx, Korngold clearly speaks with a twentieth-century voice. This is particularly true of his highly original harmony and his use of tonality. The tonal language is split—neither major nor minor is specified in the title, although the given key signature is C sharp minor. The piano begins alone and the opening phrase is actually in C major, leading to a thunderous C sharp major chord. This tonal conflict underlines the musical one. In the bars which follow a number of other keys are implied and as the full orchestra enters the need for a key signature has almost disappeared. The upward-leaping opening phrase—a rising fifth followed by a perfect fourth—is typically Korngoldian. Dissonant chord clusters with ear-splitting consecutive major seconds fill out the theme which is marked 'heroic, with fire and power'—and the character of the music is just that.
After the orchestra has given a full statement of this, the piano continues to build towards the second, more lyrical subject in the surprising key of B major. In Korngold, melodic development and interrelation are crucial and so we can observe that this new theme, while also being derived from the first three notes of the opening subject, appears to be quite different. It is also strangely similar to the eighteenth variation of Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini written eleven years later. Korngold is often accused of 'borrowing' but in fact he is amazingly prescient in his ideas. Here the music loses its grim character and luxuriates in the intensely romantic style so typical of Korngold, especially in his later film scores. Following a dance-like scherzo, sombre trombones coupled with the piano intoning a repeated octave bass of B flat (which is, incidentally, also rhythmically identical to the main theme which opened the work) announce the development.
The piano broods on this material, with rapid runs giving emphasis to the B flat tonality interspersed with strangely dissonant chords, before suddenly commencing a long-spanned sequence of spread chords—first C minor with an unexpected top B natural, then F minor with an added E flat and so on. The harp adds to the voluptuous effect, with violas and flutes, in this strangely haunting sound world. Two flutes intone an arching, high-pitched theme and the music shifts upwards to B major. The rhythm gently segues to 6/8 and we arrive at a new section marked 'Reigen' (or 'round dance') and a new key—F sharp major, one of Korngold's favourites.
The effect here is that of a waltz, albeit a very strange one. A solo flute sings a wistful tune while the piano supports it with an undulating rhythm, as increasingly more of the orchestra is added—delicate filigrees of wind and celeste, a solo violin rhapsodizing. As the tempo gently slows, the piano has a new theme, a languid chordal idea, while the flute holds a sustained trill. Once again, this new theme is linked to the opening four notes of the concerto; there seems to be no limit to Korngold's genius for melodic integration.
Into this rich fabric, a solo horn menacingly intones the arching flute theme from the development and we begin the long, tense build-up to the astonishing recapitulation. The piano suddenly—and vehemently—reintroduces the main theme from the opening of the work and the concerto returns to the harshly dissonant exposition, but in a shortened and altered form. Much of the melodic material is now given to solo brass with tremolando strings, while the piano embellishes and emphasizes at crucial moments. A mellifluous passage of spread chords, passing through a series of unrelated keys, effectively slows down the tempo (inexplicably this was to reappear over twenty years later in the closing pages of Korngold's epic score for the film Of Human Bondage).
As we end on a characteristically piquant Korngoldian chord (F sharp major in second inversion, with an added G sharp), the final section begins. This is a rondo heralded by a growling rhythmic theme on two solo double basses which slowly builds as the piano rejoins the fray. Here, finally, Korngold's familiar wit and humour burst forth but, unusually, with a demonic twist. This dance is devilish rather than playful and whirls along at a frenzied pace. A wonderful moment—a true master stroke of genius—comes when, suddenly in the middle of this hectic mêlée, Korngold inserts the opening phrase of the concerto, as if to remind us where we are actually going—to the grand return of the opening. This ubiquitous four-note phrase, heavily emphasized, does return and leads us to the cadenza, a massive-toned restatement of the main theme that finds new resources of development and extemporization.
Having exhausted itself in ever more outlandish modulations, the cadenza climaxes with the huge coda where the orchestra and piano reassert the main theme over and over again (as if reluctant to leave it) in one sustained cadence, before ending on a thunderous C sharp major chord, marked 'non diminuendo', with which this astonishing work is finally over.
Korngold achieved his goal of creating the illusion of two hands playing while using only one by incorporating many of his own extraordinary pianistic idiosyncrasies into the solo part. As a concerto the work is unique and it remains, after nearly eighty years, a highly original conception. It was first performed in Vienna on 22 September 1924 as part of the summer music festival there, conducted by Korngold himself with Wittgenstein as soloist. Wittgenstein so liked the piece that he commissioned a second work—the Suite for Left Hand Piano and Strings, Op 23, which Korngold completed in 1930. However, because Wittgenstein (who died in 1961) owned the exclusive performing rights, the Concerto was not played by other pianists. It was gradually forgotten until the 1980s when Gary Graffman revived it, aptly describing the work as a 'keyboard Salome'.

A year ago, we introduced you to Terry Tonkin. He was getting ready to undergo and aggressive surgery to treat Parkinson's disease.
"It's been very emotional and very interesting." said Terry.
Terry has been dealing with Parkinson's Disease since 2000. Last year, the tremors were so bad, he and his wife of 48 years, Judy, had to make changes.
Judy said, "We were limited to the amount of things we could do, the places we would go."
The goal...to stop his tremors.
Doctors drilled a hole in Terry's skull on both sides, and lowered wires into the brain.
Dr. Daniel Murman, a neurologist at NMC, said, "In Terry's case, certain parts of the brain are overactive. When they put these wires deep in the brain they literally shut down the output from that area."
Terry was awake during the surgery. His tremors stopped.
"Almost right away...it just boggled my mind." said Terry.
Dr. Murman said, "The tremors are gone, the stiffness gone. I think you can see Terry has gotten his life back."
The wires in Terry's brain are connected to a battery pack under his clavicle, much like a pacemaker. If he shuts it off, the tremors come back.
Terry says he can now go to Creighton games without worrying about shaking.
"I was afraid I was going to have to ditch my season tickets, so it was a blessing." said Terry.
"We were able to stay up late and see the New Year come in because we went to the Creighton game." said Judy.
Dr. Murman says the Nebraska Medical Center does roughly 30 to 50 surgeries a year for different types of movement disorders.
Patients are chosen very carefully for this surgery.

Rogue Warriors
Rolling Stone Journalist Evan Wright Brings Back a Brutally Candid View of the Warand the Soldiersin Iraq
Not bad for a one-time Baltimorean who was once rejected for an unpaid internship at this very paper, and who got his start in journalism at 30 as a porn reviewer for Hustler magazine.
Its been good, Wright says plainly by phone from his West Los Angeles home, of the response to his book. But for many of the soldiers who appear in Generation Kill, the reaction has been a little different.
Of the 23 Marines with whom Wright was embedded, at least six claim to have been disciplined for statements and actions that Wright depicts in his book, ranging from disrespectful language to descriptions of outright insubordination.
Reports of disciplinary actions in response to Wrights reporting were first published in The New York Times in June. While the Marine Corps acknowledges that a full command investigation was launched after publication of his articles, spokesman Lt. Nathan Braden categorically denies that any Marines were punished as a result of Wrights work. No reprimands or courts-martial resulted from that investigation, he told City Paper. Neither legal nor nonjudicial punishments were meted out, Braden added, though he declined to comment on any specific allegations of discipline by troops.
The controversy is just one by-product of Wrights unique sort of war reportingchronicling not only the action, but also the downtime, the fear, the infighting, and the soldiers who suffer through it allno matter how unflattering his portrayals may be.
There were so many things in [the book] that I thought, When they read this, theyre gonna be upset. Theyre going to be embarrassed, Wright says. But they killed people over there, and when you do that, even when its justified, I think theres some shame involved, and I can only speculate that if you do something that youre a little bit concerned about, you want people to know what happened.
There were more than 700 embedded reporters in and around Iraq at the height of the war. The embedding practice, which assigned journalists to live and report from within specific military units, was widely criticized by media watchdogs as a cynical government ploy to co-opt the free press into party-line cheerleaders. But Wrights own embedded reporting suggests that perhaps the critics were the real cynics. In his case, at least, a self-described anti-war journalist has penned an explosive and occasionally nauseating account of the Iraq invasionone that would be unthinkable without the extraordinary access allowed him by the Marines. Unlike most reporters, who traveled in rear units with officers, Wright persuaded division commanders to let him ride in a lead vehicle, a bullet-riddled Humvee at the very tip of the invasion spear. The result was that he was often at the head of the invasion forces from Kuwait to Baghdad, running ambush-baiting gauntlets through cities like Nasiriyah and al-Kut.
I basically was with this team from several days before the invasion started until a week or so after the fall of Baghdad, and I never saw another reporter, Wright says. And I seldom saw an officer, and I wasnt in contact with anybody.
Written in the rough argot of the Marines it profiles, and from their pinhole perspective at the chaotic head of the massive ground assault, Generation Kill allows readers to see the U.S. warrior in Iraq as he really is: brave, but sometimes bigoted and simple-minded; dignified, but also slightly depraved.
Among the numerous revelatory episodes in the book is a flagrant violation of the Geneva Convention: A battalion commander declines to afford protection to surrendered enemy soldiers and orders disarmed Iraqi troops to march back to Basra, where Fedayeen death squads are believed to be executing fellow countrymen who refused to fight to the death. Later, foreshadowing Abu Ghraib prison, a platoon commander is depicted by Wright abusing a hooded prisoner of war with a bayonet.
Wright also reports widespread contempt by Marines for incompetent leadership, including troops fantasizing about the death of a commanding officer. Every time he steps out of the vehicle, one Marine is quoted saying about the prisoner-abusing commander, I pray he gets shot.
Then there are the sickening accounts of civilian casualties that would have certainly gone unreported had a reporter not been there to witness them. When 19-year-old Cpl. Harold Trombley, the gunner in Wrights Humvee, accidentally mows down a 12-year-old Bedouin boy with his semiautomatic weapon, we are witness to the sight of a distraught mother dragging her dying boy across the desert toward the Marines, her shawl come undone in the front, exposing her breasts, begging the teenager who shot him to save him.
She is on her knees, praying with her head tilted up, talking nonstop, though no words come out, Wright writes. She turns to me and continues talking, still making no sound.
Though Wrights journey to Baghdad was lined with burned and disfigured corpses, perhaps the most remarkable moments in Generation Kill depict the banter between battles. In defiance of critics of embedded reporters, Wright freely admits to falling in love with his Marines. It is precisely his ability to seduce them into his confidenceand his determination to report their failings as well as their fearlessnessthat gives the book its raw, voyeuristic charge.
He details, for example, the peculiar logistics of wartime masturbation, known by the men as combat jacks, and the camaraderie between ranks that comes from public defecation:
Have a good dump, Sergeant? Trombley asks.
Excellent, Colbert [the commander of Wrights Humvee] answers. Shit my brains out. Not too hard, not too runny.
That sucks when its runny and you have to wipe fifty times, Trombley says conversationally.
Im not talking about that. Colbert assumes his stern teachers voice. If its too hard or too soft, somethings not right. You might have a problem.
It should be a little acid, Person says, offering his own medical opinion. And maybe burn a little when it comes out.
That last line was uttered by Cpl. Josh Ray Person, 23, the driver of Wrights Humvee and the man behind many of the books most memorable quotes. After one of the first firefights in the book, Person confides to Wright his physical reaction to combat: Man, I pulled my trousers down and it smells like hot dick . . . that sweaty hot-cock smell. I kind of smell like I just had sex.
His ex-girlfriends back home didnt appreciate that particular sentiment, Person admits by phone from Kansas City, where he currently works at a 24-Hour Fitness while trying to get a rock band together. What can I say? he laughs. Im brash.
áhough he believes his quoted statementsamong them calling his superiors retards and fucking dumbassesresulted in his being denied his sergeants stripes, Person says he has no regrets about his portrayal in the book.
People have to understand that bullets are going overhead and I could die at any moment. Its not that I woke up one morning and started saying colorful things. The environment spurs a lot of it, he says. Nothings taboo where youre going around killing people.
Person says his family was far more impressed than bothered by the book, and credits Wright, 39, with an unusual ability to gain the young soldiers trust.
It all goes into the kind of person he is, the fact that he wrote for Hustler, the fact that hes not so New Yorker, not so proper, Person says. You have to shit-talk, I guess. If you can be quick-witted and shit-talk in our groups, youre less likely to get devoured.
He thinks for a moment, then adds, Also, he didnt seem like a pussy.
In 2002, Wright was embedded with Special Forces soldiers in Afghanistan, but he had experience as an embed long before it became a media-relations strategy of the Pentagon.
While covering the anti-World Trade Organization riots in Seattle for Rolling Stone in 1999, Wright befriended and ended up traveling with a group of anarchists for more than a month. Hes also investigated white-supremacist groups, womens boxing, and the dog-mauling death of Diane Whipple.
At Rolling Stone, they used to call me their unofficial ambassador to the underbelly, he says. Ive always written about people who are on the margins, trying to use their own voices.
Though many of the voices quoted in Generation Kill would make even Dick Cheney blush, Wright figures his use of the colloquial puts him in pretty solid company. Ive always been fascinated by vernacular culture, he says. Dante was revolutionary because he wrote The Inferno in Florentine Italian at a time when serious people only wrote in Latin. So all of my work has been consistent in that interest.
He sees his work as a natural extension of the medieval social history he studied as an undergraduate at Vassar College and Johns Hopkins University in the mid-1980s.
Ive always approached journalism from a social history perspective, he says. At Hustler, when they wanted you to write a profile on a porn star, the expectation was youd write about how much she likes to suck dick, and Id always write about who her father was and does she like to cook.
Raised in Cleveland, Wright left Vassar in 1986 to follow a girlfriend to Baltimore, and completed his undergraduate studies at Hopkins. He says his year at 635 Park Ave.in the Mount Vernon neighborhood he remembers as being half yuppie gay, half ghettowent a long way toward toughening up the devotee of Old English verse for a future of macho journalism.
Basically, I did a lot of serious drinking in Baltimore. I remember all these bars and restaurants with ery in the namethe Buttery, the Drinkery? Some Baltimore thing. I was thrown out of many, he says. I was, in fact, a complete dire-straits type of alcoholic when I lived there. Maybe thats why Im so fond of the place.
Baltimore in the mid-80s was more dangerous than Iraq, Wright jokesor maybe not. I once got into a fight with some crackheads or junkies who were making too much noise on my stoop. Though the cops arrived before anything violent happened, Wright recalls, They said I was an idiot for trying to kick these guys off.
After being turned down for an internship at City Paper, Wright taught English in Japan, moved to Hollywood to try screenwriting, and generally couldnt get a job for nearly 10 years. His break finally came from Larry Flynt. I became the leading porn critic at Hustler. I gave the fully erect or totally limp ratings, he says. Thats when my whole life came together.
Wright parlayed these inauspicious beginnings into a confessional feature for LA Weekly and was soon writing similarly offbeat pieces for Salon.com, Rolling Stone, and Time magazine. Though hes now represented by powerhouse agency International Creative Management and has already sold his next book to Hyperion, Wright still chuckles with bemused wonder when describing himself as a working writer.
Today, Wright is back in Los Angeles working on the new book he describes as the Fast Food Nation of Christianity. Meanwhile, the 1st Recon Battalion has returned to Iraq, as have many of the troops he met over there, where fewer than 50 embedded reporters remain. In a grim reminder that the invasion of Iraq was only the start of a broader, bloodier conflict, Wright recently learned that the Humvee he rode in was ambushed in Fallujah earlier this summer.
It was completely blown up, he says, severely damaging the right arm of Sgt. Tucker, one of the soldiers profiled in the book. His assistant, who was sitting in my seat, had both of his hands blown off and part of his leg. The gunner had part of his testicle sack ripped open.
As for the portrayals of the Marines in Generation Kill and the fallout that followed, Wright reports that theres no bad blood. You might think Marines would carry a grudge against the journalist whose reporting may have derailed their military careers, especially after they chaperoned him to safety through ambushes by Saddam Fedayeen, gunfights with foreign jihadists, and continuous mortar attacks. Instead, they threw him a party.
My first thought, Wright recalls, was theyre going to take me to this party and theyre going to kick my ass.
But a month after the first Rolling Stone article was published in June 2003, the Marines featured in it reunited in Southern Californias Inland Empire and presented Wright with a group photo signed by everyone in Bravo Company 2nd Platoon. At the bottom someone had written, To Evan Wright, from the men of Recon Battalion. May the truth set us free.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The Dan Hurley Era is barely one week old and already the newly-minted University of Rhode Island men's basketball head coach has a scandal involving his best player to deal with.
By ERIC RUEB
KINGSTON – Lost in the shuffle of the firing of Jim Baron and courting and eventual hiring of Dan Hurley was how returning members of the University of Rhode Island men's basketball team would react.
Wednesday, they showed how.
Every member eligible to return next season was in attendance Wednesday, as they walked into Keaney Gymnasium as a team and walked out hopeful of things to come.
By EVAN CRAWLEY
KINGSTON — When it comes to University of Rhode Island men's basketball, you would be hard pressed to find two fans with a better knowledge of the program than Warren Lutzel and Dick Moore.
The two sat together to watch the introduction of new coach Dan Hurley Wednesday at Keaney Gymnasium, a place where they had watched the Rams play since the facility opened in December of 1953.
"I would say 40 years, 40 or 50 years, something like that," said Lutzel of how long they had been coming to games for.
KINGSTON - Standing behind a podium with a University of Rhode Island jersey with his last name emblazoned on the back, Dan Hurley opened his introductory press conference with a couple jokes and ended talking about winning.
And winning is something he is not taking lightly.
An hour after the Narragansett Times went to press Tuesday morning, a report from silive.com - based out of Staten Island - confirmed that Wagner men's basketball coach Danny Hurley was leaving the school to take the same job at the University of Rhode Island.
According to the report, Hurley told reporter Cormac Gordon "I didn't anticipate that I'd have to be making a decision like this for several years. It was a very difficult thing to do and I talked to a lot of people. There was a lot of back and forth."
There are reports circulating that Wagner's Danny Hurley will have a decision today as to if he will accept the offer to become the next coach of the University of Rhode Island men's basketball team, one thing is certain - it will be difficult for him to bring a key assistant coach along.
Bobby Hurley is Danny's older brother and currently an assistant at Wagner. A report from silive.com - a Staten Island-based website - said should Danny Hurley come to URI, the school would try to keep Bobby on as head coach.
It was a busy weekend for rumors in Kingston over the weekend about Wagner's Danny Hurley taking the job as head coach for the URI men's basketball team.
GoLocalProv.com reported Hurley had been hired to replace the departed Jim Baron, a report URI AD Thorr Bjorn denied when reached by the Providence Journal Friday night.
Bjorn didn't deny - and reading the report, didn't confirm either - Hurley had visited the campus, but now there is no doubt Hurley was in Kingston Saturday morning.
With Jim Baron released from his contract – or, in layman's terms, fired – as head coach of the University of Rhode Island men's basketball coach along with 10-year assistant Pat Clarke and first-year assistant Larry Harris, the only coach still left standing is a name any URI fan is familiar with.
Preston Murphy, who played guard for the Rams from 1995-1999, returned to Kingston as an as assistant coach in 2010 and, after Sunday's decision from URI Direction of Athletics Thorr Bjorn, is the only coach left standing.
PROVIDENCE – Larry Harris has been around college basketball long enough and when word came down Sunday that University of Rhode Island men's basketball coach was being released from his contract and Harris and fellow assistant Pat Clarke wouldn't have their contracts renewed, he wasn't surprised.
"I was more disappointed than anything," Harris said. "[Baron] has done a good job there and it's the old analogy – when a guy is down let's kick him."
PROVIDENCE – For 30 minutes, the Exeter-West Greenwich girls basketball team played like it was ready to go to the school's first state championship game.
The last two minutes kept the Knights away from the Ryan Center.

This marinara sauce has authentic Italian taste, it is very good with bread-sticks, pizza, and any kind of fry food. We use it with breaded calamari, just add a little hot sauce and it will be the best sauce you ever tasted...
William G. from IT Lions Posted on 08/28/2014
It's funny how many products are almost identical. This marinara sauce is thicker and full of flavor, exactly like the marinara we were previously using. However, once again, this item is at a lower price than what we were using.
Brandon T. from Fields of Pizza Posted on 03/06/2014
This is a very good deal on this product! The flavor is good and needs no improvement, but you may add to it for different uses.

I love using this sauce simply as a dipping sauce! It has great flavor straight out of the can! I like it with pizza crusts and bread sticks!

Great to pair with bread sticks from leftover pizza dough!
This Marinara sauce is great for dipping anything and everything that is fried. It has a mild flavor that goes well with the fried foods.

I am Italian and this is a GREAT tasting marinara sauce. Best flavor and loaded with tomatoes and onions. We have added some ground beef and it has made a great spaghetti sauce.

Full-bodied bur mild, very flavorful, low on acidity. All in all, a very versatile sauce.
