The WIPP site near Carlsbad announced Thursday it will be shut down for at least the next three weeks because of a radiation leak.
Officials said they've stopped the leak.
Officials with the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad said radiation leaked from the underground facility into the air last week.
The WIPP plant disposes of nuclear waste, so when evidence of a leak is found, it's taken very seriously.
"Any type of release outside of the facility or inside the facility is unacceptable and is dis-concerning," said Ryan Flynn, Secretary of the NM Environment Department.
The entire facility was evacuated after the leak was discovered.
"This is the first time that we have had a leak at the facility," said Joe Franco of the U.S. Department of Energy.
Secretary of the state environment department said even one time is unacceptable.
"From the state's perspective, one event is far too many," said Flynn.
The plant said the air is safe, and the detected levels are not enough to threaten human health.
WIPP officials said this was a one-time incident and the leak has stopped.
They won't know what caused the leak until they go into the underground facility which isn't expected to happen for at least three weeks.
The plant will remain closed until the cause of the leak is determined.
WIPP officials said the radiation leak is not connected to an underground fire that happened at the plant two weeks ago.

After the AGM will be our normal Members' Night starting at 8pm with Guest Speaker Daniel Armstrong of Deakin University talking about "Art and the Cosmos".
The presentation will basically cover three areas:
- An overview regarding relationships between Art and Science and in particular that of Astronomy and Art. What are some of the ways in which we might consider these two activities relating to each other?
- An over view of Daniel's creative practice and PhD research into the intersections of astronomy and art.
- Some discussion about a unit titled, New Worlds: Intersections of Art and Science, which is offered to 3rd year photography and art students in the Creative Arts undergraduate program at Deakin University. Over the last two years students in enrolled in New Worlds have been visiting the Mount Burnett Observatory as part of their studies and we will have a chance to see some of the artistic works which have been inspired by these visits.
Following the talk and supper, there will be viewing through the MBO telescopes (weather permitting). If you have a telescope and would like to know how to use it, or alternatively, would like to show it off to us, please bring it along.
Members' Night is on every Friday night commencing at 8PM (doors open 7:30PM). Guests are always welcome.
Please consider the neighbours and drive in and out quietly using low beam only, or better still, parking lights.

#322 – You Didn't Askon November 17, 2014 at 12:01 am
From Writhe's journal:
It's crazy what people assume about me sometimes.
Just because I spin goth/industrial/whatever at the club and run a store that sells that type of music does not mean that's all I listen to. I mean, c'mon! How boring and repetitive would my life be if that's all I used to bombard my ear drums? How dull of a person would that make me?
To tell the absolute truth, I listen to classical music as well as rap & hip hop, classic rock, pop, electronic, and sometimes even old country. I seriously draw the line at experimental, noise, and contemporary country, though. I don't listen to commercial radio because they only play Top 40 or Same 40 besides having too many commercials. I hate commercials.
In any case, I am NOT a one-trick-pony and I find it very upsetting that people think that. I don't know if it's their problem for not getting to know me better, or my problem for giving off that impression. I mean, yeah, I only play a certain type of music at The Bastille every week, but that's what the night is about. People come to the club to drink, dance, and hopefully go home with someone they're not afraid to look at in the morning. They don't want to hear what I like, they want to hear what they know well enough to dance to. There is very little room for experimentation, and when you do experiment, you end up clearing the floor and having to start over. I only play that type of music at the store because I wan't people to hear it and ask, "Who is this playing?" Then I can hand them the CD and let them listen to the rest of the disc at the listening station.
After hearing Decay think that I would shun her because she plays classical cello (which is extremely hot by the way… the cello, not the shunning), I wonder what other people think of me. It's hard to know. I can't go around asking everyone what their opinions are because they'll lie to my face, I'm sure. They won't tell me the truth because they don't want to hurt my feelings. Not many people are that confrontational. The only people I can rely on to tell me what they're actually thinking are the trolls who are safe behind their screen names. Yep, anonymity and venom, that's the truth… and a whole different topic for discussion.
Oh shit! I still have to tell Decay that I'm going to Europe! OK. Take a deep breath, Writhe, and just let it out…

Ehis Odijie: Your list of countries whose regime change has been the result, directly or indirectly, of US interference - is quite credible, though I do not know have full understanding of all the cases mentioned. But if all of them were true, then the US must be the most interventionist country in recent history. And it continues today, what with Hillary Clinton traveling to all parts of the world (including the smallest island countries in the South Pacific) to proclaim US interest and right of influence. Little does US realise that it was the spreading thin by the colonial powers of yesterday that quickly saw to their demise.
Someone is shy
Benj hasn't completed a profile. Should we look for some other people?
Comments & conversations
Don Wesley I apologise for having given the impression that your arguments were less than sincere. My whole intention was to persuade the audience contributors and readers alike) not to label and pre-judge any nation or people as "good" or "evil". Because your "good" may be my "evil" and vice versa. I would rather prefer that "less than noble" acts committed by nations towards other countries be condemned for what they are, instead of totally denouncing that nation.
Let me help you with an example. Suppose China decided to attack Japan because Japan refused to give up some "Chinese" islands illegally given to them by US after the war. So Japan "was free to ask for help" from its ally US. US did not like China and "was free to offer help" to Japan. So WWIII got started. According to you, what else do we need here???
Lars Mews: 2) Americans, indeed, are not perfect, but you and I agree that as an economy it's very innovative. The country is also capable of re-inventing itself from time to time. However, I should like to add a word of caution here. Remember the esoteric financial instruments invented by Wall Street? Well, they nearly destroyed the entire world economy.
Lars Mews: 1) American culture is "forward-looking" simply because it does not have the rich cultural history (as in the older cultures) to fall back on. Projecting into the future does not in itself ensure a better culture. One example, the doomsday movies - how do they help humanity think of ways to improve the world?
Robert Winner: The term I used was meant to be judgmental. In other words, full-blooded or ultra nationalists support their country and its actions, no matter what. You are obviously not such an American. Bravo!.
Talking in generalities won't help your argument!
Zdenek Smith: Yes, you are right, US in nowhere near bankruptcy. Not yet. So long as it can roll over its loans again and again. Its creditors do not have much choice in transferring the US debts to other debtor nations - that's the only plus for the US budget. For now. But with the US$ fast losing its value, you won't find many nations wishing to hold on to US$ assets (debts included).
You're a full-blooded American if you support US no matter if it does "good" or "evil" to other countries. Obviously, you're not full-blooded. But please, don't go to your local blood bank for a transfusion. Come to Asia, come to Africa, come the the Middle-East - to get a dose of the local plasma ...
Don Wesley: Labeling peoples and nations into either "evil" or "good" resolves no issues. What would help more - debate with logic and evidence, not with emotions and taking sides.

Deal struck to sell NH wind farm power to Mass.
Iberdrola, a Spain-based wind power giant, announced the agreement on Thursday, saying the deal would help "consolidate New Hampshire as a leader in meeting New England's renewable power needs."
"Why should New Hampshire residents be expected to sacrifice our economy and quality of life to help Massachusetts meet its Renewable Portfolio Standards goal?" said Lerner.
"We are pleased to continue investing in New Hampshire, a state helping to lead the clean energy economy," Cherian said. "Wild Meadows could serve as a significant new source of renewable power, and also generate new revenue for the towns and the state."
"We need to ask, what about New Hampshire's clean, wild places? What about New Hampshire residents' health, quality of life and sense of place?" Lerner said. "If Massachusetts is interested in pursuing renewable energy through wind projects, why don't they site the projects in their state?"

Brandalism is back with 365 ad takeovers in just two days
Brandalism has enlisted 40 artists to create what it claims is the biggest unauthorised takeover of outdoor advertising, targeting 10 UK cities in two days.
The activist group has redoubled its efforts since 2012 and has replaced six-sheet poster displays featuring H&M, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Morrisons ads, with the artists' own explorations of the impacts of consumerism last weekend.
This includes looking at ecological damage, financial collapse and gender stereotypes, in order to highlight the lack of control communities have over their public space.
The featured artists include Peter Kennard, Bill Posters, Dr. D and Paul Insect.
However Clearchannel, the company that owns the outdoor space and cleans and maintains the bus shelters paid for by its own revenues, appeared less impressed with Brandalism's efforts, saying that it had replaced all of the postered sites by Monday evening.
It said that it donated £1.7m worth of ad space to the arts in the last 12 months.

Louisiana rapper Webbie has cleared up recent remarks made toward Terrence J a week after getting banned from appearing on BET's "106 & Park" show and said his issue is not with the renowned black network.
Standing by his feeling toward the show's co-host, Webbie said he still supports BET.
"It ain't nothing against me and BET. BET, I love BET, I've been watching BET all my life. I am BET, BET is black entertainment, you know what I'm saying?" Webbie explained in an interview. "That was some personal stuff, you know with Rocsi and Terrence you know, that's his old lady I guess. Go look at the computer, look at the Vibe Magazine and that's what happened…I didn't never know her personally, I just know how we live and where we live and the picture just explains it all. I just say Terrence, get yo h*e man! … This ain't got nothing to do with the millions of kids that I say stay in school. I make sure to say stay in school." (WGCI)
Over the weekend, Webbie took shots at Terrence and called him jealous.
"How can you tell me I'm not, I 'am' BET," Webbie said in a video. "You looking at BET right now. So Terrence, I'm sorry your b*tch [co-host Rocsi] wanted me to put that d*ck on her. Get your h*e, man. Get your f*cking h*e man. Get your h*e man." (Original Hollywood Films)
Terrence made headlines last week after publicly banning Webbie from "106 & Park."
"We would not like to thank Lil Webbie who is now banned from coming on the show. We will not be seeing him on '106 & Park' anymore," Terrence said following the show's Freestyle Friday segment. ("106 & Park")
Webbie appeared on the daily weekday show as a guest judge.
"All the way turnt up" is how Baton Rouge rapper Webbie describes his current disposition. The unabashed rhyme slinger has been off the rap grid of late, but he's reemerged to promote the release of his upcoming album, Savage Life 3. Stopping by 106 and Park to judge Freestyle Friday the busy-body rapper cooled his jets long enough to chat with BET.com about the status of his incarcerated rap cohort Lil Boosie and rundown the details surrounding his next LP. (BET)

Azar Lawrence
Saxophonist, Azar Lawrence's musical studies began at age five. A classically trained violinist and pianist his formal instruction were under the direction of his late mother, music teacher and educator, Ima Lawrence. Born in 1952 at home on Los Angeles' famed Central Avenue, (Southern California's Jazz Mecca during the 1920's - 40's) the vibe of that scene clearly seeped into his musical consciousness. A member of the USC Jr. Orchestra (University of Southern California), from age five to eleven, he turned to Alto sax by age twelve.
He was a member of the famed Dorsey High Jazz Band under the direction of Herbert Baker. While in high-school he would meet the late Reggie Golson, and become an extended member of Benny Golson's family. And thanks to Reggie, Azar's professional music life began in his late teens when he was asked to join Elvin Jones' band, Jazz Machine, (after being introduced to Elvin by friend, Reggie) and immediately his stature in the jazz world placed him amongst the elder statesmen of post-bop.
While performing for years with Elvin Jones he headed up Fantasy/Prestidge Records, and after his years as part of the McCoy Tyner Quartet he went to work for Capitol Records as a songwriter, and was Executive Assitant for Stan Neufeld at Orion Pictures for Hollywood Squares and Outside Productions.
As a leader his seminal work, Bridge Into The New Age, 1974 lauded as a classic, was re-released twice over the past two years. He worked with Skip Scarborough on the first instrumental version of Can't Hide Love, for his People Moving album and wrote three songs for Earth Wind & Fire's Powerlight album performing on keys.
His discography is diverse with names like Frank Zappa, Busta Rhymes and impressive where he performs on titles such as Woody Shaw's Moontrane, and Miles Davis', Dark Magus, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1974.
Within the past three years, he's performed, written, and produced two CD's Speak The Word and Prayer For My Ancestors, (Prayer was given honorable mention for Best of 2009, AllAboutJazz/New York, January 2010) and also lead and co-produced a live tribute album, Legacy and Music of John Coltrane, 2006. Azar's latest production Mystic Journey, on Furthermore Recordings, will without a doubt again place him amongst jazz's elder statesmen.

If only people were as unconditional in their love and loyalty to their fellow man as dogs are to their owners what a wonderful world this would be. Dogs are so worth it. They give back so much more then we can ever give them and every dog owner knows it. This was truly a heartfelt story.

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, Nov. 21 (HealthDay News) -- The majority of adverse effects (AEs) associated with pediatric acupuncture are mild in severity, according to a review published online Nov. 21 in Pediatrics.
Denise Adams, Ph.D., from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, and colleagues reviewed available literature to assess AEs associated with needle acupuncture in children. A total of 37 reports, which were original peer-reviewed research, included children from birth to 17 years undergoing needle acupuncture, and detailed assessments of AEs in children were included.
The investigators identified 279 AEs, of which 25 were serious (12 cases of thumb deformity, five infections, and one case each of cardiac rupture, pneumothorax, nerve impairment, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, hemoptysis, reversible coma, and overnight hospitalization). One AE was moderate (infection); the remaining 253 were mild and included pain, bruising, bleeding, and worsening of symptoms. The mild AE incidence was calculated as 168 in 1,422 patients (11.8 percent).
"We identified common minor AEs and rare serious harms in pediatric acupuncture," the authors write. "To produce convincing risk estimates for pediatric acupuncture, prospective large-scale pediatric studies and standardized reporting criteria are needed. With the popularity of pediatric acupuncture, especially in patient populations, reliable information about its safety is urgently needed."
The study was funded by Alberta Innovates-Health Solutions.

Am I off...or are most of the rep/quest items from Firelands not better than the T11 stuff? So much of it is missing mastery, such as the boots from the "Through the Gates of Hell" and some of the rings, trinkets, etc, that my gear is definitely going up much slower than the rest of the raid.
At work and can't really link my toon but Sifupally of Jaedenar.
Are there rep items I should be getting as upgrades? I have the moonwell phial but there is a lot of movement so far in Firelands (we've downed Shannox a couple of times and worked Beth'tilak once) so I don't see much chance to really use the use effect on it vs. the niftey mastery proc of Symbiotic Wrym.
I made the choice (haven't raided with it yet) of equiping the T12 leg as it has mastery and if there is a damage phase that I seem to need it, I'll switch back to 4 piece T11.
What are the thoughts on getting the crafted tanking sword? I only have about 13k gold across 9 level 85s and don't seem to get above that. The sword would probably cost me about 6k and doesn't seem to be much of an upgrade over the 359 maloriak mace. Looks smexy though so I keep thinking about it =).
Given the rep boots lack mastery and the sword isn't much of an upgrade, I have considered getting the crafted boots but I don't know anyone with the pattern yet to help reduce the costs.
Thanks for all advice.

Next week, over 27,000 industry professionals will converge at Orlando, Florida's Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) for the 96th Annual International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo. Over five days, attendees from 40 countries will stroll nine miles of expo floor aisles (540,000 square feet of space), attend 80 educational sessions and 23 exclusive tours, and enjoy networking mixers at the OCCC, Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando. This year's theme is "Big Starts Here", an appropriate moniker given the gradual rebound of the industry following the Great Recession and the current trend toward re-investment and re-invigoration in both attractions and cultural facilities.
JRA team members will be sharing big ideas with IAAPA participants throughout the Expo via two separate panel sesssions. The week begins with IAAPA's annual Museum Day, which offers a day of presentations particularly relevant to museums and science centers, followed by an evening networking reception. For the third year in a row, JRA's Shawn McCoy will present on the latest visitor experience trends and how the cultural sector can benefit from them. This year, Shawn will explore how today's museums can better connect with their audience by breaking down barriers. Through a series of fast-paced case studies, Shawn will provide examples of how new exhibits, programs and technologies are being used to blur the lines between curators and the public, are redefining the space in which museums live and are helping foster deeper communication between cultural institutions and underserved audiences.

On Thursday, JRA's Clara Rice will participate on the panel "TEA Presents Future Legends: Transforming Experience", alongside Nickelodeon's John Paul Guerts, Rhetroactive's Steve Trowbridge, and BRC Imagination Arts' Christian Lachel. Panelists will explore topics such as wearable technology, 3D printed worlds, and how the very nature of design is changing to meet the desires of a new generation of visitors. Each panelist will have three-and-a-half minutes to speak on each of three topics, and Rice will be exploring the future of interactive media, the rise of the telepresence robot, and the growing demand for ultra-luxe VIP theme park experiences. Through these rapid-fire mini-presentations, audiences will discover how the attractions industry is responding to the challenges and opportunities of the latest technologies and trends.

Of course, you can also visit the JRA team at Booth 1354, and, as always, JRA will have seemingly round-the-clock coverage of IAAPA on the JRA+blog, our Facebook and LinkedIn pages, and our Twitter feed. We'll also have a special surprise for our readers the Tuesday following IAAPA, so be sure to stay tuned, and we'll see you in Orlando!

From November 19-21, international retailers, property developers and consultants will converge in picturesque Cannes, France for at the 20th annual MAPIC conference. MAPIC, which, for those up on their French, stands for Le marché international professionnel de l'implantation commerciale et de la distribution, is dubbed the "world's leading retail real estate market". Over three days, participants will enjoy an exhibition hall in Cannes' Palais des Festivals, over 25 conference sessions and a variety of networking events.
MAPIC was originally launched in Cannes in 1995 by Reed MIDEM, a global leader in the organization of international professional conferences and events. That first conference welcomed 1,064 participants, 221 retailers and 3,600 companies from 69 countries. This year's Cannes edition will welcome over 8,300 participants, including 2,300 developers, 2,400 retailers and 1,400 represented brands, from Apple to Gap to Marks and Spencer. These attendees will arrive from 67 countries covering five continents to identify new trends, new products and new partnerships.
Educational opportunities will abound at MAPIC. They include an Innovation Forum, where participants learn best practices for their retail spaces, and a Digital Summit, where 60 industry thought leaders will discuss the rapidly growing arena of digital commerce. Conference sessions will cover such topics as doing business in the emerging markets of Russia, Turkey and Africa; creating partnerships with chambers of commerce; pitching shopping center projects and retail concepts; navigating e-commerce; and leveraging analytics. One area of the exhibit hall will offer a dedicated "retailtainment" zone, where experts will discuss the emergence of this dynamic fusion of shopping and entertainment, while developers pitch their latest retail-based attractions.
In addition to the exhibition hall and conference sessions, MAPIC offers an array of dynamic matchmaking and networking events. In "Speed Matchings", developers, retailers, franchisees and investors engage in a series of ten specially tailored, three-minute face-to-face meetings, structured to provide rapid-fire connectivity and promote deal making. At the pitching sessions, five different retailers and developers each have seven minutes to pitch their product or opportunity to the audience, showcasing their work in front of potential investors. But the activity doesn't end when the sun goes down. MAPIC kicks off with a high-profile cocktail reception at the Majestic Hotel and closes with a special 20th anniversary fireworks display over Cannes' famous Boulevard de la Croisette, followed by the MAPIC Party, a high-energy social and networking event. Whether in the Palais exhibit hall or over cocktails at the Majestic, retailers from all over the world will have ample opportunities to meet and greet.
And JRA is excited to be meeting and greeting at MAPIC for the first time! Team members Rob Morgan and Dana Everhart will be covering the event for the JRA+blog, so stay tuned later this month for their full report. In the meantime, check out the MAPIC preview video below, as well as this article from our friends at Blooloop.

Design of Cincinnati streetcar vehicle. The streetcar will begin operating in 2016 and will stop less than a block from JRA's offices.
Welcome to Part Two of our "Learning Through Side Doors" blog series, in which we investigate experiential design outside of "themed entertainment". Today, we're discussing public transit experiences with local Cincinnati transit enthusiasts, John Schneider and Bradley Thomas. John is a local property developer and considered the father of the Cincinnati streetcar project He has led various civic and political leaders on 32 separate tours of Portland, Oregon's expansive bus/rail transit system. Brad is a practicing attorney and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA).
CR: What constitutes a good guest experience from a transit perspective?
BT: A good guest experience is one where the trip is seamless. They know where they are going and how to get there, and everything from buying the ticket or knowing where to board is obvious or intuitive. Good station design, way-finding and reliable service all contribute to a great guest experience. Reliable service is critical. If a trip is late, the guest may be late to work or miss a connection.
JS: On the bus or train, there needs to be common courtesy for everyone to have the best esperience - yield your seat to someone who is less able, don't put your wet umbrella on the seat, never, ever eat anything and only drink if you're on the smoothest-running train so you don't spill on your seat mate. The transit agency and its customers are in this together.

CR: How does technology play into that overall experience, extending the experience to the time the person buys a ticket to after they step off at their destination?
BT: Technology is great for attracting new riders to the system. Bus schedules can be confusing and if your system doesn't offer service that's so frequent you never need a schedule (i.e. NYC subway); then you will need to easily communicate how to get from point A to point B. Google Maps, and many other apps, go a great job of letting you point to a spot on the map and showing a variety of transit options to get there. Some even let you prioritize different elements of the trip--speed, cost, least amount of walking.

JS: Several ways, starting with trip planning. Some of the more developed U.S. transit systems have apps that work like other travel apps - put in your origin and destination and day and time of travel and let it plot a route for you. The best of them give you real-time departure and arrival information including advisories such as accidents that may slow the journey.
Real-time bus or train arrival at stops is gradually being adopted, but it is very expensive (even a medium-size city like Cincinnati has thousands of bus stops). This values the time of the customer rather than just making the customer think, "Hey, when we get there, you'll know." If your bus or train is running late, and you are so informed, you may be able to use the otherwise wasted time to get a cup of coffeer, open a spreadsheet or return a library book. Announcement of stops and intersecting transit lines is also very important, especially to the novice.
Being able to pay without cash is important, and just about every major transit system offers this now. Many now have stored-value cards, which don't require you to send-away or appear in person to buy a pass - you just load like you'd load a debit card. Some of these can be deployed across the board for all kinds of personal mobility. Some of the dreamers in the business would like to extend these cashless payment systems to bike rentals, Uber, even taxis.
CR: To what degree does the route play a part? In Cincinnati, streetcar developers chose to place the line in an under-developed area to boost development, but other cities have chosen to place rail or bus lines where there is already high demand. What are the pros and cons of each from an experience perspective?
BT: You want a mixture of both existing demand and development opportunity. An ideal route would link a demand driver on each end with underutilized land in between.
JS: It depends what the objective is. If it's repopulation, then you probably want the route to connect important destinations such as employment centers, entertainment, and shopping with underdeveloped areas. In cities trying to rejuvenate their cores - cities like Detroit, Cincinnati and Kansas City - this is objective, and these cities are going the modern streetcar route.
If you have a well-developed and highly congested city - Los Angeles, Washington and Seattle come to mind here - you're probably less concerned with attracting new residents than with moving the ones who are already there. These cities are opting for rail systems that run in separate lanes, have higher speeds and high-capacity trains. But on a micro-scale, each of these cities is also building streetcars in opportunity-rich neighborhoods.

CR: In your travels, what have been some of the best transit experiences you've had and why?
JS: I was in Minneapolis/St. Paul recently, and I was blown-away by how excellent its system is. There are two light rail lines, one of them connecting the airport with downtown Minneapolis. This line shares a short section of track with another line that connects Minneapolis with St. Paul. And each of these lines will be extended, giving the Twin Cities two long routes that essentially criss-cross the region.
MSP light rail is extremely easy to use, and the vehicles are immaculate. They call out the intersecting bus lines at each rail stop. And the line to the airport is pretty fast, probably faster than driving and parking. And certainly cheaper.
But MSP is not stopping with light rail and buses. They are planning a modern streetcar on Nicollet Avenue, the retail/office/hotel spine of the city, and the bike share program is region-wide. Minneapolis has many bike trails that are separated from traffic, and it is regarded as one of the best biking cities in the nation with a high percentage of bike commuters - yes, even in below-zero weather. No hills, though.

CR: What are the challenges to creating a great transit experience?
JS: One - customer familiarity with really excellent public transportation in benchmark cities they visit, which leads to ...
Two - taxpayers' willingness to pay the cost of building and maintaining great public transportation.
Three: political leadership that is willing to set in motion plans for best-in-class public transportation which probably won't start operating until they leave office - hence, high political cost, little political benefit. That is why you need great champions and why the United States trails much of the world in having these systems.
BT: The biggest problems are bureaucratic inertia (we've always done it this way so we'll keep doing it this way) and funding. The fundamental issue is that transit creates positive externalities, but can't recapture their value; while cars create negative externalities but the drivers don't have to pay for them. If automobiles were forced to pay the true cost of air pollution, roadway maintenance, and congestion, there'd be a lot more transit users and healthier communities.

Bruegger's Bagels?
- izzizzi May 10, 2007 10:47 PM
They are opening a location where I live and I was wondering if it was good or not. I lived in NYC and got used to ess-a-bagel and H&H. Don't expect it to be that good...but maybe better than Lender's?
It's not a NY bagel, but it's definitely better than Lenders. I am partial to their lox cream cheese and to their "Leonardo Da Veggie" (Cutesy name, good taste) bagel sandwich. Also, for breakfast cheaply, I like their hummus spread thickly on a wheat bagel.
good news, bad news. the sandwiches are OK, the bagels are, well, let's put it this way, they are not ANYWHERE close to the two mentioned. Fortunately jfood works in NYC 2 days out of the week and gets his real bagel fix at Ess. Yesterday before catching the train home to CT jfood went to the market in GCT and purchased some Kossar bialys. Stale and toasted they are waaaay better than Brueggers.
The cream cheese. It's actually bitter, jfood can't even eat it. and if you think the mixed cream cheeses will approach those at Ess, another disappointment looms in the future.
Sorry for the bad news but given your HH & Ess benchmark, you will be sadly disappointed. They are probably on par with Lenders, but if pushed came to shove jfood would probably toast a lenders first.
re: jzerocsk
I agree with jzerocsk and thegolferbitch. There is a yawning chasm between bagels from some place like Ess-A and those from Lenders, and Bruegger's fits in that chasm nicely. Down here in Northern Virginia, it was a real loss when the Bruegger's shops all closed because of a falling-out between the local franchisee and the home office. We have some decent bagels but there's plenty of room for a good chain too.
So forget about comparisons to Ess-A and H&H. Nothing will measure up. Once you do that, in almost any city Bruegger's will probably stand up pretty well to the local competition.
Bruegger's cream cheese is pretty tangy -- but that's a far cry from bitter.
Lender's is a joke, on a par with "bagels" from places like Dunkin Donuts and Panera. Bruegger's is superior to Einstein, the other big national bagel chain, which I think are pretty crappy too.
re: izzizzi
izzizzi -- go get a meal at The Nook and ask the proprietor Stu Rifkin where to get the best bagel in town. tell him i sent you. 8>D
re: izzizzi
there may or may not be -- but if there is Stu Rifkin will know about it. He's lived in C'ville for years and is both a restaurateur and a chowhound of some repute. Plus, his latest venture -- the venerable Nook -- is supposed to be very good too. So you'll get a good meal plus reliable info on bagels or whatever else your heart desires.
About ten years ago in the Seattle area there was something of a bagel fad, and bagel places (including Bruegger's) popped up like weeds, then all but a few disappeared completely about eighteen months later. Having never been to any of the benchmark New York places cited here (having never been to New York, for that matter) I seem to recall that Bruegger's was probably my favorite of the chain bagels in the areas (with Noah's being not quite as good, but there are still a few of those around so they're probably doing something right.) Unfortunately, most places around here there isn't much besides supermarket bagels available now.
Depending on the franchise owner some of them have a peanut thai chicken sandwich on the menu. It is really good.
In Boston, Bruegger's is one of the best places for bagels. Try the rosemary olive oil... it's their tastiest flavor.
I have a bottomless coffee mug for them, and I love it. They sell them around the holidays, and they're good until the following December for free coffee, tea and soda. I'm sure I've already used more than what I payed for the mug.
re: pamalamb
Mmm, rosemary olive oil! I haven't been to Bruegger's in ages, and I hadn't heard of that one. Sounds fantastic. I had some rosemary olive oil potato chips from Target (their Archer Farms house brand), those things are really good....
One of the great things about Brueggers' is their wonderful coffee....full and rich, but not burnt tasting like other chains. I think Green Mountain makes BB's coffee.
Nothing can compare to H&H but Bruegger's is pretty good. Their sandwiches are very good and the two locations I go to in Charlotte are sparkling clean. I like them. Similar to Einstein's but a bit tastier. Yes, great coffee.
