Never Again!
Nothing Arabian about the taste. If someone hasn't tasted real Arabian food, they may like it. But having eaten shwarmas and fatooshes all my life in the gulf, this is not a place I'd visit again. even though the hummus was pretty so so!!

Pathetic food and service: Stay away
I couldn't rate it zero as burrp doesn't have that option. The food is simply unpalatable. Kababs are under-cooked and there were blood stains in the chicken kabab. The bhatkali biriyani was atrocious and it seemed they had just mixed some plain rice with half-boiled chicken and gravy. Chicken gulgul seemed just a bowl of tomato puree with some shredded half-boiled chicken. We could not eat a single bit of the food there and left after paying the bill and not eating anything. It was a total waste of money and time.

Okay, nothing special, no repeat value
Went for a dinner yesterday with high expectations. The place did not quite live up to it. There was a terrible smell outside the restuarant, the staircase was badly lit and we had to put on the mobile torch to climb up. The look of the place was a put off but as we had heard of the food we went in. The light was too and i mean too dim to read the menu, so if you do not know the menu and the meanings, it would be difficult to know what to order. As we knew what we wanted, we placed the order for Sukke Maas Chicken and Kebab Koobideh of which the latter a must taste. We felt the salt was more. The kebabs were filling and spicy. The mutton and chicken was not succulent and that is what we did not like. We ordered Mutton Kasba (1/2 plate) and the quantity was huge but it was quite bland. We liked the food which came to around 700 INR but there was not a repeat value for which we would land up again.

Over Priced - Under Cooked
I placed a home delivery from this place. 3 Shawarmas, 1 Chicken Biriyani and 1 Chicken gravy dish. Total - 750/rs. The person who delivered it said he "forgot" to take the bill when I asked him for the bill. Food quality is pathetic and under cooked chicken. Total waste of money and an appetite killer. We later ordered from Zaks which delivered better value for money.

Open Sesame (A real surprise)
After hearing a lot about Alibaba, Rocky and Mayur raving about it on their show Highway on my plate on NDTV, we have been wanting to hit this place for a long time. We were amazed by the food and ambiance.Heavenly kebabs I would say. Sukke Maas chicken - A must try. The Prawns were quite amazing, fresh and deliciously marinated. Also being informed about their new outlet opened in Jayamahal, we gave it a try. Must say, "The Best Shawarma" i have ever tasted so far.

are they even bothered ?
No person to take your orders on a Saturday night, with one person constantly on the laptop.
Their pita with babaganoush and hummus still rocks. We had the mutton shawarma, a middle eastern grilled chicken which was half done and another veggie curry which had canned tomato's. Blah!!!!!

A Taste of the Desert
Summary: A delightful joint serving Arabian, Persian and Bhatkali cuisine. Food, decor and service are quite good, and the prices are reasonable. The place was a bit deserted during our visit; hope that was an off night, since I would love to go there again and try the other dishes at this place.
My first Friday evening out in the city saw me and my friends auto it up to Frazer town to try out this Middle Eastern restaurant. The joint is located opposite the mosque on MM road, on the first floor. One sees a big sign for the restaurant from the street, but the entrance at street level is dark and dingy. We were lucky to be helped by a gentleman who seemed to recognize our confused demeanor and guaranteed us that the alley we were supposed to take didnt lead to an objectionable place.
The decor of the place is quite appropriate with the cuisine: most of the seating is along the walls with a divan on one side and a couple of cushioned stools on the other, the lighting is mellow, and if the Champions league twenty-twenty had been replaced by some Bedouin instrumentals it wouldve been quite perfect. We entered the place at 7:30pm, quite early given normal dinner times and unsurprisingly we were the only ones there. What was surprising (given the food that was to arrive) was we were the only ones when we left the place a couple of hours later.
As we got seated, the server offered us two wooden boxes. Unlocking them we found stitched to the inner edge around ten sheets of cloths containing the menu printed on it. The first page consisted of a history of the Navayath people; I wish I read that, but there were other more pressing alimentary concerns which needed to be addressed. We started off with the baba ghanoush with pita bread, and the shish khudar, skewered vegetables and paneer roasted over charcoal. The baba ghanoush was pretty decent with the nice musty smell of burnt brinjals still hovering over it, and the vegetables and paneer were pretty fresh as well. We then ordered the Al Faham Dajaj, which is barbecued chicken with Arabian spices, and Khudar Mushakkal, which was a gravy of mixed vegetables simmered with Arabian herbs. The chicken was a bit on the blander side, and it wouldve been nice if it were served with a tangy dip of some sort. The gravy was a much tastier dish, and it complemented the blandness of the chicken. Following these we got the vegetable biryani, and a chicken dish whose name escapes me -- a good description of it would be Arabian tandoori chicken. It comes in two sizes, half and full, and the whole bird is roasted after being coated with a middle eastern marinade. This was a much more livelier chicken dish and was served with an aioli for extra zing. I didnt try the biryani much, although others in the table really liked it. Personally, I found it too be closer to a pulao then a dum biryani.
Since we all were pretty satiated at the end of the above proceedings, we decided to end our repast with Moroccan pot tea instead of a dessert. This is highly recommended. The server brought out a pot with four cutting sized glasses and we helped ourselves with the honey colored tea that came out of it. It was super refreshing, and was probably green tea prepared with mint and honey (or maybe sugar). We all helped ourselves to around three glasses, before we called it a night. The final bill came to around R350, which I think is very reasonable for the exoticness of the cuisine and the quality of the food. It was a bit sad to see the restaurant so empty when we left; I just hope they were having an off day. Or maybe its just that Frazer town isnt too keen on Middle Eastern food.

very good Kebabs
Went to this place after reading all the good reviews on Burrp and was not disappointed! Its a simple cosy place witha middle east themed ambiance as the name suggests. Had tandori prawns and chicken kebab , chicken biryani , Saudi Arabian champagne , sharvama roll and everything was really good and we cant wait to go back! Wish the restaurant was in koramangala! the place is reasonably priced as well so you can eat as much as you want without spending too much....

Awesome fodd
Went here last night. It's a small place on the first floor. The staff look simple and polite, and not overly servile. The food we ordered came within 15-20 minutes as stated on the menu.
The food is simply awesome. We had a chicken kebab, prawns fried on a stick, bhatkali biryani. The meat in all the 3 dishes was marinated perfectly. This may be the first time I felt the food is tastier after the first bite. The meet was marinated deeply, so it becomes tastier as you chew it. The masala in the biryani was mild but has a unique taste, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
In total, this is among the best places I have been in Bangalore. And, I am going to go there again definitely.

Navayte People - Good Show
After seeing the NDTV show wanted to go there very much. Could finally manage to drop in yesterday for lunch. The entrance is dirty and dingy. The ambience would have been good when started but now appears worn down and shoddy.
As the menu indicates this is all about navayte food. We ordered the platter besides Arabic Biriyani, hummus, babagnush, fattoush, umeAli and the mahalabiya
The platter was excellent - correct spices, nice marination, you name it. Pitta and hummus were dissappointing. Baba gnoush was passable. I did not like the arabic biriyani.
The UmmAli was excellent. All in all an ok experience.
The decor needs a change badly. Also the pickles need to be kept on the table and not supplied only on demend
Prices are a wee bit on the higher side

1st visit - lunch review
I like the decor and the menus. The lamb & fattoush were great. The hummus was nothing special and the lime soda seems to have been made on premises and not as good as bottled. The chicken biriyani was very good though and the meal was enjoyable as a whole.

good budget midEast option
Went there on a weekday evening through a group buy. Looked like an interesting place and had been a long time since i had Mediterranean and Persian.
There is parking space on the side road. Is a bit tough to locate as it is on the first floor, and you have to make your way thru some dingy stairs. The interiors are well done, but looks a bit old. Perhaps they have tried to recreate some old middle east house type feel. The place itself isnt too large.
The seating is low lounge types.
The menu is divided in to various sections - Bhatkal (costal Kar), Persian, Arabian, etc, but can get confusing flipping thru pages.
The soup was good and the starters were pretty decent. But i guess their hummus does not match the authentic taste. Still scope for improvements in taste and food quality.
We order the berry palav from Persian, but wasnt quite there (especially compared to some of the Mumbai parsi places...yumm!). Enjoyed the Pita bread and sides which were good. The dessert tea was good and it topped off a nice evening.
A good place to go try and the pricing is good and is well worth the money. (other good Mediterranean options are mostly in star restaurants, which is way too exp) The service itself needs to improve and the staff needs to get better training.
Would perhaps give a 3.5 stars.
If they can take their service and overall cleanliness to a slightly next level then it will be a great place.

I usually enjoy the food at Alibaba; however, today I was quite disappointed. I ordered the lamb kebabs which were too chewy to eat, and the rest of my order came to me cold. I used to recommend this place highly, but that won't be happening anymore.

Good Indian, bad Persian/Arabic
I went to this place a few months ago - having read and heard good things about it. The decor is interesting, but the place is a little too dark and a bit stuffy for my liking. They need to improve their ventilation.
We had some kababs, which were excellent, and then some Arabic vegetable dish, which was quite inedible and some Persian meat dish, which was unremarkable. I left there with the impression that while the Indian food was very good the foreign food was passable. The hummous was okay - not as good as some of the other places in the city - for example, the late lamented 10/11. All in all I suppose I am willing to go there again but cannot really strongly recommend it.

Arabia @ Bangalore
After watching You Don't Mess With the Zohan, I always wanted to know what the Hype behind hummus was! I finally found at at Alibaba. The Pita and Hummus was not only delicious but very affordable.
Don't miss the Arabian Biryani and the Doojh(aerated masala buttermilk). Sounds funky doesn't it? Yeah I know... Alibaba has a very Arabic feel to it and the menu cards look like the first edition of the khuran! The whole place smells of kebabs and the service is excellent. Must visit in Bangalore.

Authentic Arabic good
The first time I tried out this place was at a friend's recommendation, and ordered some Arabic food, since it's been a while since I had some.
The food was good and the taste was authentic. We had humus, Al Faham Dajaj, Gul gul and some Khubus. All the dishes were equally good. Don't expect 'indianized' recipes here. The Irani Tea was also very good.
One star less than 5 for the slightly shoddy service by the waiters, who seem to fumble around.

Restaurant outstanding, delivery service very poor
I am a huge fan of arabian food, so I went to Alibaba Restaurant several times for excellent Arabian food. Humus and kebab are really good.
We wanted to get delivery service the other day and unfortunately, it took 1.5 hours instead of the mentioned 30min and then they were not even offering any goodie to cover up their poor performance. So, either you offer delivery because you are able to do so or you spoil your good reputation with this. Think about it...

I've been looking for a place with decent Med food for a while now, and I must say Ali Baba comes quite close to authentic. I happened to learn about this place by chance, and visited the place for dinner last weekend. I was quite impressed by the range of their menu - bhatkali, arabian, persian - and decent options for a vegetarian too! We tried some items from the arabian and persian menus, and the food tasted very good. The pita bread was warm and fresh, and yes, quite authentic (unlike some of the fare they peddle at more high end restaurants in the name of pita bread!) The staff were very helpful - they guided us with the options and also with recommending what bread/rice would go well with a particular dish. The dessert options are also good, very different, i must say! They've stuck to their theme here and it's not the run of the mill chocolate cake, mousse etc.
The ambience is quaint and relaxed, with Arabic music playing the background, and the food, value for money! I definitely wouldn't mind the trip all the way to Frazer Town (which is quite a distance from where i live) for another meal at Ali Baba!

Arabian delight
There is a similarity in thoughts and deeds of us reviewers for this place. And we arent even Alibaba insiders!! For what we had today ...delectable is the least I can start with. We blokes traveling all the way from Marathahalli to the by-lanes of Fraser town....we needed something extraordinary to satiate our appetite. I must say we got more in bargain. Right from the shahi ambiance to the exquisite use of space...from the narration on the dishes to the timely service..it was perfect to the T.
Now the food...the array of assortments...the Mediterranean delicacies...non dilution of quality over...forms its hallmark. A special mention on the machboos(biryani) amazing quantity...rice that melts...and the tender chicken just compliments the preparation. It doesnt even hurt your pockets at bout 300 per head on a saturday nite...U can take that anytime.
So heres a must go for the food connoisseurs

A hidden treasure in Frazer Town..
On a suggestion from a friend, to visit a nice quiet place for a good meal, I was recommended Alibaba, it could really do with a bigger signboard, but then I realized that this gem of a place is really worth the find.
The place does not have too many tables but from the moment you enter you know that it is a different world inside, the music is constantly humming in the background, ideal for a quiet and enjoyable meal. The menu was printed on a kind of parchment paper encased in wood, giving it a robust look and feel, it has a nice variety of dishes, ranging from Arabian, Persian to Indian, all in different sections, making it easy to make your choice.
The food was authentic, and a welcome change from the usual Arabian stuff doled out elsewhere, the starters were well done, a special mention should be the hummus, which was by far the best I have tasted. A big surprise was the vegetarian dishes, although limited to a select few, were well prepared and my friend who is on a vegetarian streak was quite impressed. As for the meat lovers, the choices were aplenty and the dishes were very well cooked. The pricing is OK and not too heavy on the wallet, for a sumptuous meal for 3 with basic non alcoholic drinks, I donâ??t think you would cross 1k. All in all, an excellent experience...and definitely worth a lot more visits...

Lovely place on MM road. Friendly staff, knowledgeable waiters and homely food. Thats the description in a nutshell
The hummus and babaganoush are very good, the latter having that super smoky flavour of whole roasted brinjal. The pitas were passé soft maida ones that youd get at the empire shawarma stall. Not being very picky, but would like to see some fresh wheat pitas for once.
Try the custard with Dill leaves. Thats something that was very different
Bill came up to 500 for 2 drinks (yohurt soda, Iranian tea), 3 pitas, a half & half of pita & babaganoush, 1 chicken appetizer, 1 curry (cant remember its name) & 2 rotis. very affordable & definitely worth visiting again.

Looked very promising
This place has been on my "Burrp's Must visit" list for a long time. So I took my office team for dinner here. The place was easy to find . Ample parking was available on the street. I had called ahead to make a reservation for 10 people, so finding a seat was not a problem.
The ambiance of the place is good, and seemed authentic. The service was also good, and sometime over-patronizing.
The place is smallish and little claustrophobic, but well decorated. We started with hummus, fatoush and kaboos. These were authentic and good.
Next came their platter, which was the highest point in our gastronomical experience there. Platter had various kababs and each of them had a different flavour, delicate and tasty.
we then moved onto main course with lamb curry, and pita bread. The lamb was a total disaster. No flavors, meat was hard. Seemed like lamb floating in a tomato sauce.
Next came lamb biryani. This too had uncooked lamb. Though the rice and its flavours were very well done.
The drinks were very ordinary, except for tea at the end. Overall, I hope they were having a bad day with lamb. The place is good value for money. Out of 10 people who visited, only two (including me) said that they would visit again.

Authentic, tasty, not over-priced...great
It's been a while, but this place is one of the few places that actually serves what they claim to specialise in, and it's by far one of the most authentic places I've come across in the city. The food is a mixture of Arabian, Persian and Navayathi (Bhatkal, coastal Karnataka) cuisine. Not just the Navayathi cuisine, but even the Arabian and Persian food served is about as authentic as it gets. And it's not all that expensive either (it's not like and Empire or Imperial - and they aren't authentic, but not where you'll have to shell out 600 or more per head).
As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the teas served here are fantastic. Try the Moroccan or Iranian tea. Simply superb, in taste and aroma. As for the kababs, you should try the shish taouk or the joojeh kabab if you want chicken, and the chebeh or the koobideh if you prefer mutton. All are extremely well flavoured, and soft and tender.
For the main course, if you're visiting on the weekend, you should try the weekend special biryani called machboos (available in chicken and mutton). If you prefer the roti-curry kind of meal, try their wheat paranthas along with the gul-gul, which is am Arabian chicken dish of chicken in a rich tomato gravy. Alternately, any of the mutton korma/lamb dishes under the Persian section can be had.
For desserts, unfortunately, they've only had a selected few items available, in spite of having a mouth watering array on the menu. Try the shaufa pana pudding, made from dil leaves. It leaves a fresh taste in your mouth, almost like an aftermint, without being over the top.

Authentic Arabian cuisine
The beginning itself was great as the manager was very friendly and explained the nuances of Arabic dishes to us patiently while we sat relaxed on the takht.
Nicely done up small and colourful place in the corner of MM road. From Its seating plan to its wall hangings, all have a middle eastern tinge. And lots of hooka models are visible. Walls have a crude look akin to a camp.
We just tried a few dishes but they were all superb.
The kebab platter had succulent Al Faham Dijaj (Chicken marinated with Arabian slices) and mouth watering Koobideh Kebab (ground lamb with Persian herb). The Kobideh Kebab was a mix between our Sheekh Kebab and Kalmi kebab but the spices were much richer in aroma.
The Dijaj Machboos (Middle Eastern Spiced Chicken served with Basmati Rice) had a unique aroma that triggered long lost memories (of a flavour that I had missed for a long time). And a half plate for Dijaj Macboos was good enough for 2 to 3 people. Even without any curry to mix with we found the dry rice good enough due to the aroma it had.
Don't miss the UmmAli sweet dish and the Iranian Tea at the end of the meal. The UmmAli sweet was a browned home made pudding that was reaaaaally delicious. We just ordered one sweet dish between our son, my wife & myself thinking we were full, but couldn't help scratching the bottom of the dish.
All in all, if you are a fan of middle east food, this is a place not to be missed.

Good food ...a must visit for all foodies in town.3 cuisine - Bhatkali, Persian, Arabic. Kebabs are nicely marinated with Lime and Salt. A different ambience and decor. Bhatkali Biriyani was yummy. Portions are big. A meal for 3 came to 900. They charge a 5% service charge.
We couldnt spot any other family dining there.It is best to go with frnds than family. The food took 40 mins to get served. Service was slow and bad.

Excellent, Warm and Refreshing
Alibaba was the gem sitting right around the corner that i never ended up going to. However, raving hunger pangs and the zeal to try something new landed us in this delightful place.
The decor is traditional, if at all a little whimsical. though the overall tone is well maintained. The waiting staff is friendly, informative and can suggest a lot of alternatives based on what you originally wanted. Its always exhilarating to find a knowledgeable staff.
But the biggest draw should surely be the food. 3 beautiful cuisines are brilliantly captured and executed. The warm fresh pita (khubbus), the rich hummus, the hearty beautifully spiced dijaj machboos and their array of kebabs, make the place brilliant to say the least. And all of this in a reasonably priced set. There is also a hukka cafe to draw in the crowd looking to relax.
They home deliver too, which to the local people should be an added bonus. I am planning to go back this very week again.

The Real Deal
Alibaba, despite the somewhat corny name, is the real deal. The food here is not the usual tandoori fare. This is authentic frontier and middle eastern food. The hummus was excellent, the baba ghanoush fantastic, the pita bread fresh and warm, the kebabs subtly spiced, the tea excellent, and the service was knowledgable and friendly.
I hope they do well , because I would hate to see a restaurant that serves authentic food have to change its menu to attract customers.

Great Tea
What stands out most at Alibaba is the decor and ambience. I loved the Moroccan hats that the waiters wore. The food isn't bad either. We tried the hummus and khubus combination which I found to be rather expensive for the portions being served. The cinnamon tea we drank at the end of our meal was probably the most unique flavoured I've had so far and it was delicious too!

"I love the design of this announcement. They turned out perfectly and I loved the weight of the paper. It's large enough that people won't lose it and the design is nice enough that people could even put it on their bulletin/message board. I thought the final product looked more expensive than what I paid for them, which is always a plus! Very happy with this product."
"I liked many of the moving cards better but they were twice as much. Since I had to order so many I went with these. They are perfect. Great colors, simple design. Highly recommended!"
"These announcements are gorgeous. They printed beautifully. They arrived swiftly and look stellar. I would recommend this product to anyone - family or business. I know now that I will order my birth announcements from Tiny Prints too!"
"This card was very appropriate for a change in suites in a nursing home facility, as it might also be in a 'condo' situation in a city or a business change in a large building. The paper quality, color and print were all very professional and modern."

Junior Tony Capobianco turned in his second-straight solid performance against the ranked Purple Eagles with 42 saves to anchor the Canisius defense.
After more than 55 minutes of scoreless action, Niagara took advantage of a golden opportunity thanks to a bounce off a referee. The Purple Eagles fired a puck down the ice and right over a Canisius defender at his own blue line. The puck then hit a referee near the boards, preventing the icing call, and bounced right to a waiting Ryan Murphy of Niagara in the middle of the Canisius zone. Murphy then skated in one-on-one and beat Capobianco high for the 1-0 lead with 4:24 remaining in the game.
"I read icing and once (Murphy) got the puck, I didn't have my depth and threw a desperation poke check but it was too far away," Capobianco said. "It was a pretty good shot - right inside the post and it was a hard one."
The Purple Eagles then sealed the victory when Patrick Divjak scored an empty-net goal with 3.3 ticks remaining in the contest.
Canisius had its opportunities to take the lead but couldn't quite finish its chances. In the first period while on the power play, the Griffs knocked in a loose puck but the whistle had blown just a second earlier to halt play to keep the game scoreless. Canisius also had a 1:27 of 5-on-3 action at the end of the second and to start the third but the Griffs couldn't capitalize on the opportunity as the game headed into the final stretch knotted at zero, where Niagara would take advantage.
The Purple Eagles finished the game with a 44-32 advantage in shots, including an 18-9 edge in the third period. Neither team was able to score in five power-play attempts.
Carsen Chubak stopped all 32 shots in the winning effort for Niagara.
Canisius now travels to Colorado to face Air Force next weekend. The schools begin the two-game series on Friday at 9:05 p.m. ET.
Game Notes: Canisius is now 4-22-2 all-time against nationally-ranked schools ... In five games this season against ranked foes (twice against No. 6 Western Michigan and No. 15 Niagara plus once against No. 1 Minnesota), Capobianco owns a 1.41 goals against average and .965 save percentage ... Niagara now leads the 2012-13 Battle of the Bridge series, 11-6.

Love the TWIPs! I'm a helminth user (25 hookworm for allergies), so your programs are fascinating!
Dr. Racaniello, after listening to TWIP 33 where you were discussing the history of your surname, I thought I'd give your listeners a way to remember your obviously Italian name. It's the rap song, "Black and Yellow"! lol http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ITKR7OZyyOw

Dear Professors,
please do NOT abandon your style ever!!
Even if there´s some privacy in there, be it fishing or simply the weather or whatever, it has to be in your podcasts because it makes them authentic! Even more, talking like you with so much commitment and humor increases the amount of learning. You know why!
I always tried to be a good teacher (for natural sciences at a german secondary school since more than 20 years) exactly in that way.
And scientific researches in recent years have approved that the brain of all ages learns better and more effectively with these attributes.
Here you are:

Dear Dickson & Vincent,
I recently delivered a lecture to nursing students at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre in Tanzania, on a subject that Dickson is very well versed, Trichinella.
I am a medical entomologist & have no knowledge of Trichinella so quickly had to do some reading & piece together a basic lecture. In the process of preparing the lecture I was left with a couple of questions that I hope Dickson can answer.
1- In East Africa the species is Trichinella nelsoni. My understanding is that there have been very few human cases reported (200 ish) and they have all come from eating undercooked warthog or bushpig. In Tanzania pork meat from domestic pigs is commonly eaten (on a sidenote pork is called "kiti moto" in swahili which translates to "hot chair"- possibly because if the muslim population of Tanzania get caught secretly eating pork they will be in big trouble, or the "hot chair"). I was left wondering why T.nelsoni has not made the jump from wild pigs & warthogs into domestic pigs? I was asked this question in class & my explanation was that it could be due to geographic isolation as warthog/wildpigs are mainly found in "bush" and savannah areas where usually only Maasai are found. Maasai keep cattle, sheep, & goats but not pigs. Do you think this is a reasonable explanation? How would you have answered this question?
With rapid population growth in Tanzania do you think expanding human settlements could result in T.nelsoni making the jump into domestic pigs & resulting in more human cases?
2- In the excellent book, "Manson's Tropical Diseases" the T. nativa Arctic cycle shows that polar bears can become infected by eating raw walrus and seal meat. How do seals & walrus become infected with Trichinella? Don't they eat fish??
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Best wishes

Hello Vincent & Dickson!
I'd like to thank you for the superb podcasts I've had the pleasure of enjoying the past few months. Not having any previous interest in parasitism or virology, I downloaded a few podcasts on a whim and was immediately hooked!
Working a night shift by myself in the biology building of a university calls for TWIx podcasts for entertainment. While listening to the TWIP episode on hookworm, I noticed a ton of slides left out in a lab room full of microscopes. What was on them? Parasites galore! I took the liberty of finding slides of hookworm in various stages of life cycles and got to follow along during the podcast and actually see with my own eyes real examples of what you guys were describing under the microscope - it was awesome!
I really enjoy being able to learn from TWIP being a non-scientist (although I'm going back to school for physics soon, so I'll be in the scientist club before too long!). I have to look things up to follow along in TWIV, and TWIM is often way over my head, but I try to listen to both anyway, they're always interesting.
I've since listened to all the TWIPs and would love to hear new ones added more often. I'm also looking forward to adding Dickson's new book West Nile Story right beside my recently read copy of Parasite Rex.
Sorry for the lengthiness of the email!
Thanks again,

Hello again!
Thanks for mentioning my email and talking about my obscure profession! Cytotechs screen pap smears in addition to fine needle aspirations from just about any body site. A normal day consists mainly of screening pap smears, but I get to look at some lung, thyroid, liver cells, etc. Legally, we have to screen all paps at an appropriately licensed lab with a Medical Director and Technical supervisor. Gone are the days of screening in your underwear at home - well, maybe some folks can still screen in their underwear. My workplace frowns on it. A lot of slides are still hand screened on an regular ol' light microscope, but some are analyzed by a computer first. All slides must be screened by a cytotech or pathologist - the computer just uses an proprietary algorithm to determine the areas of the slide with the highest probability of abnormal cells to guide our screening. We send all slides we diagnose as abnormal to a Pathologist. He or she has the final say. In addition to looking for cancerous or precancerous cells, we also look for non-cancerous infectious agents. HSV and CMV produce some gorgeous cells! Check google images for HSV or CMV cytology. As far as it being kind of boring to just look through the scope all day: you have do enjoy looking through the microscope or you will quickly go insane in this line of work. I personally enjoy the focused attention this work requires - it's like mediation for me. Bonus: I get to listen to awesome podcasts while helping people. Additionally, the microscope rarely back-sasses me, so I don't have to deal with any workplace conflict or stress:) Thanks again for the podcast!

Hello gentlemen,
My name is Dan and I'm considering becoming an epidemiologist. I discovered your podcast and am slowly working my way through all of the old episodes, which I find extremely fascinating.
Forgive me if it's already been mentioned on your show as I am listening to the episodes in chronological order and haven't yet arrived at the most recent one, but I would like to recommend a book called "Parasites: Tales of Humanity's Most Unwelcome Guests" by Rosemary Drisdelle. I recently purchased this novel and it served as a wonderful primer for your show and as fantastic "thought food".
If you can recommend any books, journals, or other publications that would be helpful for a budding young student such as myself I'd be very appreciative. I know for certain that with my next paycheck I'll be buying Mr. Despommier's "Parasitic Diseases".
Thank you very much for publishing this podcast! I'm very happy that I've discovered it.
Best regards,

|Topic Review (Newest First)
8.8 CR, 1971 El Camino stock cam, large chamber heads (487 castings with 1.94 intake valves), RPM Air Gap, Edel 1806 carb, running flat top pistons with 4 valve reliefs and steel shim head gaskets, 2000 stall converter. This cam leans toward low end torque.
I originally had 3.36 gears, but when I rebuilt the car I put the current axle in. Now I wonder if I should have stayed with the 3.36. With my current tires the engine turns 2600 rpm at 60 mph. On long trips this thing really needs an overdrive.
I run a 4-row copper/brass radiator with an electric fan on a thermostat, 195 stat. Have never had any issues with cooling. Engine runs consistently at 205 degrees on the highway in the summer.
Thanks for the help cucumber
What kind of compression are you running and what intake and cam do you have?
If 3.73 is a little too high what would be the logical step down?
With a stock type engine I would imagine keeping it cool is an added bonus.
What is it the car will be doing most of the time? Are you planning on regularly racing it? Or will it be a street cruiser most of the time.
There are a lot of details when planning your setup, but from a high level view, consider the following. If your racing, then yes you need to closely match up all your components to get the most performance per run. You will want your torque curve up higher in the RPM band, matching it to shift points and torque converter stall, but choosing the highest ratio in the rear you can without running out of RPM at the end of the run. Lots of variables here.
If it is a street cruiser, then you have other objectives. The car is so light that even a mild street engine will make this car move, and move briskly. The race setup won't be very streetable. A 4.56 gear on the highway with a TH-350 is annoying and not very efficient. You'll want your torque curve lower in the RPM band, good vacuum and idle, and you'll probably want your torque converter to have a lower stall, and you'll want your cruise RPM to be reasonable so a numerically lower rear gear helps out here.
The setup in my T-Bucket is similar to yours and it is a mild street cruiser, good idle, high vacuum, stock cam, but can melt the tires if you want (not very much weight on the back end anyway so the tires are easy to break loose). Sometimes I think the 3.73 gear I run is still too high for long periods of highway cruising. You can still get a lot of power here - mine was timed once when I could keep it hooked up at 3.85 seconds for a 0-60 run - that will outperform 95% of anything else on the street and it still behaves well when you keep it on a leash.
Horsepower vs Torque......ratios?
I posted an earlier question about some double hump heads....and that leads to talking about cams........which leads to talking about compression.......which leads to talking about transmissions.......which leads to rear end ratios.
Holy crap is my brain spent.......
I need to clear my head and rethink this. Lets assume I have only a couple known factors.
1.) 2,000 pound T-Bucket
2.) 350 engine block
3.) Camel hump 1.94 heads
4.) TH-350 transmission
OK, here is what I don't understand. I hear people talk about torque and I hear people talk about horsepower. I looked at some dyno sheets online and I noticed that certain builds have really different ratios as it concerns the two. Some dyno sheets show an engine that produces high torque at low RPM's but low HP numbers until it reaches 5,000 RPM's where it peaks.
Then I noticed where torque was really low until RPM's climbed but HP came in early in the RPM range.
What I read, and what others are telling me, is that I can't pick out a camshaft until I know things like rear end ratio etc.
So here is my question. What is ideal for a light car like a T-bucket? Torque early on in the RPM cycle or HP early on in the RPM cycle?
Once I know that how would that help me to decide on what rear end ratio to use?
Pleas help, this is really confusing for me.

Software Is Not Code; It Creates Experiences
Ultimately, customers don't judge you based on how well you gather business requirements, choose development technologies, manage projects, or march through the development process — they judge you based on how they feel before, during, and after they use your software. This is the digital experience. If you get the customer experience wrong, then nothing else matters. And expectation inflation is sky-high thanks to the Apple-led smartphone revolution.

Hi all ! I am starting off with my rubies helmet , but it is mishapen ! How can i get it to a better shape ?
Hi all ! I am starting off with my rubies helmet , but it is mishapen ! How can i get it to a better shape ?
get a different helmet.
seriously though, i;m not sure that a rubies 1 or 2 piece jango can be sufficiently modified to pass as a canon jango costume. at least not without alot of $ and work. if that's the direction you're wanting to go, a new bucket would be the way to go.
however, if you're set on using the rubies jango for something, you can get a decent shape from it by lightly warming it and reshaping it. then stick it in the freezer or cold water for a couple minutes to set it. installing a craft ring in it's base and in the dome will help to hold the shape. although being a vinyl helmet, it can still suffer warping even with those installed.
Thank you for your advice ! The rubie helmet is for practice only and i will give them to my kids when finished and i hope to buy a decent helmet from Bobamaker when i have the funds ! Thanks again !

Good one, thanks!
chief crazy-horse and chief sitting-bull were smoking the peace-pipe one night and chief crazy-horse said to chief sitting bull
" you know if white people were as stupid back in our day as today we would have the entire west in our grasp! stupid white-eyes even thinks the great black brother is going to give them free obama phones, free education, free food and even free healthcare!"
sitting bull replied "baahh! the promised us free food and blankets in 1875! whites be fools! custer has yet to deliver our blankets!-- but i did get a sack of birth control pills last week!"
the moral of the story if the federal government can't even get a few blankets delivered in 100 years --how are they going to do all this other freebie shit?

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > International security bubbles: Do they exist? Do they burst?
Join us for a conversation with Amb. Tibor Tóth, Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization on ""International security bubbles: Do they exist? Do they burst? A case study of the nuclear explosions in the early 1960s." Since 2005, Ambassador Tibor Tóth has been the executive head of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), an intergovernmental organization of 183 Member States. Tóth has 16 years of experience in nuclear test ban matters. As CTBTO Executive Secretary, he manages a staff of 300 and an annual budget of USD 120 million. CTBTO operates a global system of some 500 monitoring and communication facilities, representing a 1 billion dollar investment. The CTBTO was instrumental in detecting the 2006 and 2009 nuclear weapon tests by the DPRK and contributed to the early warning of the tsunami generated by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and to the disaster management of the ensuing Fukushima nuclear accident. Ambassador Tóth has an aggregated 40 years of leadership experience in nuclear, biological, chemical and conventional arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament. Tóth served as Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva (1990–1993 and 2003–2005), Vienna (1997–2001) and The Hague (1993). He represented Hungary at the Conference on Disarmament (CD), the Preparatory Commission of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the CTBTO. Since 1986, Tóth has participated in all sessions of the UN General Assembly and its First Committee in New York. Tóth served as Deputy State Secretary of Defense responsible for international affairs (1994–1996). For half a decade (1986-1990) he was also in charge of Hungary's conventional force reduction and confidence building measures policy, personally contributing to the concept of national limits reflected in the CFE Treaty. As Deputy State Secretary he put in place enhanced confidence and security building measures with Romania and Slovakia. Tóth initiated in 1989 the joint organization by Canada and Hungary of the Open Skies Conference, leading later to the Open Skies Treaty and the two countries becoming its depositaries. Tóth set in motion Hungary's voluntary renunciation of anti-personnel landmines in 1997, the second unilateral ban legislation worldwide prior to the Ottawa Convention.

Looking for summer employment: Upperclassmen share advice with first-year law students
November 17, 2012
First-year law students are expected to have relevant summer employment, and finding those experiences — paid or unpaid — can seem like a daunting task.
Wayne Law's Career Services Office tries to take some of the anxiety out of the search, which begins for many right after the holiday season. CSO's web pages (http://law.wayne.edu/career-services/index.php) offer a wealth of information, including a whole section on "1L Job Search Strategies" and detailed guides to the On-Campus Interview program, which takes place in the spring and in the fall. Advisors in the CSO are experienced attorneys themselves, and are happy to meet one-on-one with students who wish to discuss job search strategies and resume preparation.
Another program the office has to help first-year students is called Your 1L Summer: A Foundation for Career Success, an informal lunch session that took place recently. This year's program featured a panel of five second-year students with a variety of summer legal work experiences and a wealth of tips for underclassmen.
Panelist Jessica Russell talked about "bidding for" or applying for interviews during her first year in law school using the Symplicity website (https://law-wayne-csm.symplicity.com/students), which CSO uses to manage the On-Campus Interview program. Participating employers are listed on the website, where students can view them, apply and then schedule on-campus interviews with interested employers.
"When I applied, I didn't think I'd be working in health care," Russell said.
But she ended up being offered and taking a position with Meridian Health Plan, where she now works doing research on regulatory compliance and general corporate issues. The summer job has extended into the school year, and she enjoys it very much, she said, even though she originally had no original plans to work in a health field.
Lesson learned? Keep an open mind about what you may end up doing, she said.
Panelist Courtney Williams talked about having some concern during her first year because she had absolutely no experience in any sort of legal work. She knew she needed some.
"I wanted to see the entire workings of a law firm," she told the first-year students. "I knew that's exactly what I wanted."
So she joined the Wayne Law chapter of Delta Theta Phi, a professional law fraternity, so she could learn more and network with practicing lawyers.
"I got a job with a small law firm as a result," she said. "It was a great experience. I think it really helped make myself marketable."
She also took a summer course at the Law School while she was working, and having those extra credits now is making her second year less stressful, she said. She recommended that first-year students take a class or two over the summer while they're working.
Panelist Emily Mayer worked over the summer with a law firm and also did some research for one of her professors. She recommended that the first-year students get to know their professors, who can be very helpful when it comes to finding work, she said.
Panelist Grant Newman had an unpaid summer internship in the U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Michigan. It didn't come to him until March, he said, and he had been about to take a different summer position with a law firm. He's glad he waited.
"I had assignments from civil, criminal and appellate," Newman said. "I did research and writing and got to watch some high-profile cases. "
His advice? "Don't always expect to be paid," he said. "Don't let that limit your job search. You don't want to limit yourself too much. And don't worry if you apply to every one of those jobs (on the Symplicity website) and don't get one. There are tons of opportunities."
Panelist Mike Butterfield said he found his summer job with a law firm via Symplicity "late in the process."
"There are a lot of opportunities," he said, echoing Newman's advice. "Don't be discouraged."
First-year students asked the panelists how much first-semester grades matter to the prospective employers. The panelists said the grades do matter a great deal.
"It's the only thing they have to differentiate candidates," said Williams.
"You should probably just kiss your weekends good-bye for the rest of the semester," Newman said with a laugh.
"But it's not the be-all and end-all," Butterfield added. "The whole package is important — writing skills, speaking skills, extra-curricular activities, study abroad… They also want to know that you're a person outside of law school."
His participation outside of school as a mentor to young students helped him during the interview process, he said.
Newman said the thing that helped him stand out was a study-abroad experience in China, and he and other panelists advised the first-year students to find something about themselves that sets them apart from others and enhance it on their resumes.
Writing samples matter very much to prospective employers, as well, the second-year students said.
"Put forth a good effort with that," Newman advised. "They will read them."
Mayer recommended that students have their cover letters, resumes and anything else they're submitting to prospective employers read and re-read by other students and professors to make sure their submissions are letter-perfect.
And, the panelists advised, do expect to enjoy your summer work experience.
"Almost everyone I've talked to ended up loving what they did," Russell said.
"No experience you'll have this summer will be wasted," Williams said.

Puppy isn't velcro anymore?
Hi everyone!
I got a long haired gsd puppy when he was 8 weeks and he followed me everywhere and whined if I wasn't in the room with him. Now he is 4 months old and doesn't seem to want anything to do with me. However if he is asleep in the living and I go into another room downstairs he will follow me but won't cone back upstairs. And when I leave the house he goes absolutely nuts and I can hear him carrying on from down the street, even if there are other family members at home. But other than that hes stopped following me around. :confused:He's very docile except when he gets into a snappy mode but I've heard that stops soon.
Ok so my question is do German shepherds become more velcro and clingy with age? Anyway I can get him to like me more?
a dog that whines when you leave a room and "goes nuts" when you leave the house is showing separation anxiety and that is a sign of weak nerves. i'd be happy if your dog stopped crying and trying to be with you every single moment of the day. a little bit of independence is a sign of confidence in a dog. as long as you call him and he comes running enthusiastically then you're fine.
you want to make sure that the "attachment" to you is healthy , not insecurity based .
He does not need to be glued to your every movement in the house .
When you leave the house don't make a big scene , a big emotional goodbye -- have another family member distract the dog in another room so that the dog is not even aware that you have left . Do not prime the dog for separation anxiety.
Then your family can let you know if the dog behaved the same way going nuts crying at the door or window .
If you want healthy attachment , get the dog into training, take the dog for a walk - do things with the dog so that he looks forward to being with you .
Plus your dog is 100% normal to become more independent as he get's older. This is why I always say start up all the OFF leash training/walks and hiking when you first get your puppy and they feel they 'have' to stay with you. Because then you have a good basis when they get to the age that they now feel confident enough to leave you and explore.
You crate training? If you did that well just start using the safe lair of the crate to help when you leave the house. ---> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...uppy-cage.html
You read up on The Dog Listener by Jan Fennell? Great hints and tips to help our dogs.
Also keep working on all of this ---> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...s-puppies.html

I have been throwing the idea around of teaching overseas for awhile now. The internet has lead me to many dead ends, so hopefully the forum can be of some assistance. Many of the websites offer the TEFL courses in person or online, my main question is are they necessary?
A little about myself: I am a native English speaker, born and raised in America.
I have my Bachelor's degree in career and technical education, and I am a certified teacher in both New York and Pennsylvania. I've traveled through much of Europe as well as Algeria and the UAE. While in college a teacher offered to assist me in placement in a Korean school, to be honest I have no interest in teaching in Asia. I am open to placements in Europe, Africa, South America and the Middle East.
Is there summer positions available? I'm not concerned about the money situation if the position was a short term position, I'm just looking for some assistance with the accommodations. I would even be open to the idea of a full year contract depending on the location. I really love traveling and I figured this would be a good way to put my knowledge to some use during the summer months and have the time of my life. I'm even open to the idea of working at a hostel as a summer position.
Anyone have any advice? is the tefl certification necessary? is there summer positions? Any info would be a great help. Thanks everyone!

Ask Buckeyes where to go for fun and they'll likely send you to Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. Home to some of the tallest, fastest, most hair-raising roller-coasters in the world, the park offers visitors amazing views of Lake Erie―and allows thrill seekers to peer down onto one of the state's most historic Great Lakes cities.
In quiet downtown Sandusky, shops line Columbus Avenue beneath American flags hanging from vintage lampposts. On a typical weekday, "traffic" may mean two drivers waving as they pull away from Stillwaters Coffee Café. Although the city's population doubles in the summer (thanks to Cedar Point and an expansive marina), a stable community of about 30,000 resides here year-round.
For a change of pace, residents travel an hour east for big-league sports in Cleveland, or an hour west for Toledo nightlife. "We are far enough away so people can live in a small town yet work in the city," says former city manager Mike Will. "I think we attract those who see our waterfront as an investment."
In the meantime, Mike asks that visitors pardon the dust. Downtown is currently undergoing "a much-needed revitalization," says John Lippus, director of downtown development. Founded in 1818, Sandusky became a leading shipping port for the Great Lakes, and a popular Victorian-era vacation destination. Visitors still flock to the beach and amusement park, and, happily, the town is investing in its infrastructure.
Along the waterfront, Sandusky's rebirth can be seen in the new condos and apartments that have replaced dilapidated industrial buildings. Residents are in a prime position to enjoy the paved Bayfront Pedestrian Pathway, which, when completed, will span 12 miles. A portion near Shoreline Park was a key corridor of the Underground Railroad during the 19th century. Markers throughout the city identify the more than 100 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
On a crisp autumn afternoon in this Midwestern town, the water ripples softly under fallen orange and red leaves. As residents relax on a bench outside the New Sandusky Fish Company with piping-hot orders of fish-and-chips, the prospect of another Ohio winter seems easy to bear.

cheers f bird . its been awhile . hope your well and good. i was wondering about what to do on my fueling , thinking i need to speak to a specialist over here ? or do you reckon i could achieve it myself ? will speak to "real steal" in the morning and see what holley pumps they can provide with your figures in mind . i have a copper 3/8" of inch fuel line from tank to engine . i was told it would be enough . whats your thoughts ? . no fitings on it . have bent it all nicely.

electric fuel pump problems on sbf weiand 671
hi all . been a while for me . been back on my car and looking at getting it on the road in 4 weeks . so i have a problem i need help with . i had contamination withinn my fuel- being water - yuk - isnt good for carbs - so i have cleaned out the tank . lines , overhauled carbs , and have fitted a new holley pressure reg and have replaced my mechinacal high flow eldebrock fuel pump for a electric one . the main reason is so i can set up my carbs before cranking the engine but also if the car was stood for a while it took alot out of the battery to re pressurise and crank this engine being supercharged .
ok . i bought from ebay a bosch electric fuel pump . fitted a filter before it and have fitted the regulator after it. the regulator is brand new and i havent tried to change it from the factory set . i have over 12psi on my guage near the carbs . my needle valves are passing by and filling the engine with fuel .
so my question is . have i bought the wrong fuel pump ? ie the one i have on another v8 ticks fast and then starts to slow down then stops . this fuel pump is noisey and doesnt seem to shut off ?
are some pumps constantly pushing ? ie one for a fuel inj system meaning it pushes huge pressure for a common rail type engine . or regardless should it stop if my regulator doesnt allow any more flow ?
again lots of questions and i maybe barking up the wrong tree . can a fuel pump push past a regulator ?
was thinking of changing it for another one if its not correct ? if so what ?
i have a 351w now bored to 5.9 and have a 6/71 weiand with 2x 600 vac sec carbs .
cheers all.

I went to lunch with Chanin today, part of our Thursday routine. We go right after bible study, and drag along another friend or two. Dyanna joined us this time, which was fun. She always has something exciting to talk about, like finishing another RAGNAR race, or attending an Osmond wedding {this weekend.}
Any-whoo, we drove over to Campini's, the local Italian deli. We haven't been there in months, mainly because it's just too small for more than 6 people at a time, including your hand bag or computer carrying case. It's problem, especially when you have a line of customers that extends out the front door. Everyone in the room can hear your conversation; awkward, if you are talking about something personal, like what to wear to an Osmond wedding. The crowded atmosphere doesn't seem to stop people from coming here though -- even me, that's because Campinis has incredible food. My favorite is the turkey and roasted red pepper panini. Yum.
Fortunately for us, we arrived before the noon rush and nabbed a spot right next to the freezer full of pizza dough, and lasagna. It was a tight squeeze sitting at a two-seater, but the three of us made due.
I placed my order at the front counter, walked two steps over to the soda machine and there he was. I couldn't see his face, but I knew it was Boris. That head of curly hair was a dead giveaway. The first time I saw it -- the hair, I was standing in a line at the airport terminal in San Diego. I remember thinking: Greg Brady during his perm phase. And now, I was behind the hair again having that same thought.
Boris filled his cup with iced tea while I filled mine with carbonation. As we stood there filling he looked at me and said: Hi, how are you?
I expected him to have an accent, I seemed to recall Matt telling me Boris was French. He didn't though, he sounded American. Come to think of it, he sounded American the last time I heard him talking -- to the Avis car rental lady in Utah. Sort of disappointing. I was hoping to say "I just got back from France, LOVED it!"
Who knows where the conversation would have gone from there. We could have discussed French bakeries, and the Gypsies who play music on the subways. I may have been able to ask for a photo of the two of us -- at the soda machine, which would have made great souvineer for my race-car-crazed husband.
I didn't use the French line though. I would have sounded crazy were Boris from some place like Milwaukee. Instead, I put the lid on my drink and replied I'm doin' good! How you doin? It came out a little New Yorker-ish -- like Joey Tribiani, which was unintentional on my part. I must have been nervous; I normally speak Californian.
He said I'm doing great! See you later, as he walked four steps and joined two gorgeous, supermodel-looking women sitting near the window. I'm guessing they were race car fans. Supermodels would most likely be picking at a salad, not chewing on subs, which was what Boris and his friends were eating.
What brought them here? That's what I want to know. Were they all on their way to Las Vegas for a NASCAR race? Is Boris a friend of the Campinis? Maybe he's opening a K1 Speed in Old Town? That would be kinda cool. The Beutlers love in-door kart racing, except me. I get dizzy driving around in circles, and watching cars driving around in circles -- which is why I've never seen a NASCAR race. I would get car sick, and I hate that feeling.
Next time I see Boris, and I will, I'm going to quip: We've got to stop meeting like this! And just in case he looks confused, I'll hand him a card with my web address and say: Read my blog, it will all make sense. And by the way, can I have your auto-graph? Make it out to Matt.
{P.S. Boris, if you are reading this, I'm just kidding about the hair, you really pull off the Greg Brady look. I'm not joking about the go-karts though. Open a track here!}

piWerx hears the M.A.S.H. theme while viewing this design, and imagines an entire series of shirts: cocktail glasses, martini glasses, among other beverage dispensing containers.
zerglingfood wrote:I think it would be more visually appealing if the glyphs filled up the empty space in the middle. I know you were going for the abrupt end, but it just looks empty to me. Plus repeating the same head with minor variations doesn't have the same impact as using an assortment of different glyphs. Here's a great resource http://research.famsi.org/mdp/mdp_index.php
Cool resource, ty. The open space kind of represents a tomb, or part of a larger structure and I considered many ways to represent the glyphs. I drew the 'face',which to me seems like a stylized skull, rather than use an actual glyph . I thought woot might frown on using actual glyphs, idk. If the 'skull' is obvious then it emphasizes the morbidity of the Legend of the Calendar.
There are also font generators/sets for the glyphs, but I'm not sure they are real.
The repetition, while lazy, simplified the 'motivation' for me, and draws the emphasis to the mushroom cloud. I'm just glad it hasn't been rejected.
Thanks for feedback. Glad you got the joke.
I love feedback on my designs, cuz I'm new and maybe that will change one day in the distant future; so I hope you don't mind my feedback here.
First cool use of color. I'm confused by the 'apple' these seem like maple leaves, and well, apples don't grow on maple trees. Maybe that's silly of me to notice, but I would tell whoever I saw wearing this shirt, that fact.
