- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014Puccini & Pinetti restaurant has a good ambiance. The food is really delicious. I had my birthday dinner in this place and i really had a great time here. The attention was the best😊Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 2nd time as good as the firstEATS4BB3VIPDined on 9/17/2014Siete Leguas Reposado is great for sipping OR Margaritas, the Kale Mista salad needed more Kale, other wise everything was very good. Pan Seared Scallops, Spinach Salad, Cheese Burger (cooked as requested).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was poorYuckDined on 9/14/2014We have eaten several time at Puccini and Pinetti's; this was a horrible experience. The waiter got our order wrong; when it came it was horrible tasting. In the past it has been very good, not this time. I would not recommend it again.
- fun2eatDined on 9/10/2014We were a bit early for our reservation but it wasn't a problem. The waiter was great. The food was good. We didn't feel rushed at all.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GoodluvitalyDined on 9/10/2014Have only been to Puccini & Pinetti a few times since I do not live in the city. This visit was excellent, as always. My companion and I shared a wood plank of charcuterie and an order of fried calamari. Both were very good and generous servings. We closed with a classic version of tiramisu. If you like to start with a cocktail I highly recommend the Negroni. Another classic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A favorite city spot for us!LAURDined on 9/9/2014We love this place! We have season tickets to the Orpheum and ALWAYS start our night with drinks then dinner at Puccini and Pinetti! Awesome appetizers and fabulous menu! Plus it's got a great vibe!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food excellent, service not so muchmegeorgeDined on 9/7/2014I have been to the restaurant a few times before and have had no complaints about anything and the food has been excellent. But this evening left a lot to be desired. Instead of the staff seeing anything was needed, I had to wait for someone's attention and then ask for things such as a water refill or a steak knife for my dinner. It also took three people coming up to my table for one to actually take my empty plate.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good dinner after a showgseeversDined on 8/31/2014The food was very good. The waiter and chef agreed to accommodate some special requests which was appreciated. The pork chops were excellent and the quality was great.Special Features:
- CityAlDined on 8/29/2014As a SF resident for more than 30 years I can honestly say this was one of the WORST dining experiences I have ever had in the City!!! Dinner before the theater - wait staff was discourteous, flippant and poorly trained, food was poorly prepared, bread was stale, silver wear was dirty and the presentation was horrid. My wife & I were so disappointed that we chose to dine here with so many other great options in the City - it was, in all honesty, a waste of time and money. My recommendation would be to avoid this place at all cost if you are looking for the type of dining experience you would expect from a San Francisco restaurant!!!!!!! Not one saving grace - if you want Italian - go to North Beach!!!! .
- sincitydreamingDined on 8/29/2014Upscale with an authentic Italian feel. Nice big bar, friendly bartender & regulars, jammed packed during happy hour. Anchor Steam on tap! We had reservations and were seated immediately in a nice big comfy booth. I must add that it was fun to watch the passers-by and the traffic as we dined. Wait staff was attentive and even asked what kind of water we preferred (ie. sparkling or not)! We received complimentary bread and oil with our meals. I had the margherita pizza, which was absolutely delicious with a sweet, light sauce. My husband had the chicken marsala, with no complaints. Love the location and the atmosphere here, will definitely return on my next trip to the bay!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and service--alwaysyummyDined on 8/27/2014We go back whenever we go to the theatre even though there are so many options in the same vicinity. The servers are so accommodating, quick, and friendly. Great appetizers, bar, and nightly specials. Everyone makes you feel welcome. You leave full and happy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this place!ShowgirlDined on 8/23/2014I've eaten here twice, each time prior to shows at the Orpheum. Both lunch and dinner have been great, and I have been totally happy with everything I've ordered. It's easy walk to the Orpheum from there-about a 15 minute walk. I highly recommend this place, as the service and food are wonderful. I'd eat there even if I weren't going to the Orpheum.Special Features:
- Great Restaurant/initially too loudRosieDined on 8/22/2014The service was great. The food was great, but the noise was too much until we were moved to a table that was more quiet. When you can't hear your waiter or your dinner guests it is too loud. The restaurant did accommodate our request and it became more pleasant with wonderful food. The bar scene was too vibrant for diners!!When I see energetic as a score I hope it doesn't mean to too noisy too talk with your table guests!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great servicePaulusDined on 8/19/2014great place, great food and good wine! Carlos, thank you for picking the right wine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply EnjoyableCTinSFDined on 8/18/2014Had a very pleasant meal while having a marvelous time catching up with friends. The menu had some tantalizing options. Opted for the scallops, which were tasty but a bit of a tiny tease. Service was excellent and the overall vibe was a fun mix of lively and relaxed. Will definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food - but poor serviceHRSDVIPDined on 8/14/2014This restaurant is in a high-traffic part of San Francisco and consistently busy. Been here several times and the food is quite good. Seemed to be short on servers resulting in very long waits and over-stressed staff making multiple errors and taking a long time. But food was very good in generous portions.
- Great Food, but loudGibz2000Dined on 8/13/2014The food and service were excellent. My only complaint was that it was rather loud when we ate there (roughly 8:30 on a week day night). We also tried to stop in a couple nights later but there was a bit of a wait. I would recommend reservations.Special Features:
- Convenient to hotelsHass1Dined on 8/13/2014Bruschetta was fantastic!!!!! Enjoyed the veal scallopini .the tiny scallops were very good but 4 for $28 was ridiculous. Disappointed they didn't serve cannoli.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food - Great ServiceEricaDined on 8/10/2014I've been in town for one week and ate here two times. I leave on August 22nd and will most definitely eat here again. It's a great place with wonderful service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ServiceEricaDined on 8/7/2014I am visiting from the DC area. I'm used to nice restaurants being slightly expensive. Puccini & Pinetti is a nice restaurant reasonably priced. The service is amazing. I dropped my fork before any food was delivered to our table. When the food arrived the waiter noticed a didn't have a fork. I didn't have to tell him. That might not seem like a big deal. But to me, it's huge.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodWisconsinDined on 8/3/2014Food was great. Atmosphere was a bit noisier than expected.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Foodie77Dined on 8/3/2014Had a large party of 13 with kids for my birthday there. Good food, kid friendly, fast service. My husband went earlier to drop off a cake they told us the cake plating was $3/person. When we got the bill, they charged us $5/person and for 16 people. The first bill was taken away and said they made mistake and would cancel the charges (after they took our card) and the 2nd bill was almost $100 more! Make sure you check your bill!! Also, not happy they wouldn't honour happy hour prices while seated in the dining room, had a large group and we couldnt fit in the bar area where they had the happy hour prices for drinks and apps so we had to pay full price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MartySVIPDined on 8/3/2014The food was good. The wait staff seems usually overwhelmed. The gentleman (manager?), seems a little scattered as well and at times would swing by and look at our large staff of dirty dishes and keep walking. Overall--they need to work on the details and focus on customer service.
- Nice dinner with familyCaliGirl2045Dined on 8/2/2014Made reservations here to meet family that we hadn't seen in a long time. We were seated in the back of the restaurant which some people might not like but we loved it since we had 3 small children and wanted a bit more room. We were the only one's back there. Service was really good. One of our guests was gluten free and was told they could make almost any dish gluten free so that was a positive point for sure. Kids menu had a nice selection with several choices. Food was hot and tasted great. The only downside was that to get to the restroom you had to walk a bit far through the hotel attached (I didn't know it was attached to a hotel up to this point) to get to them. Not a big deal though. I would certainly recommend this restaurant!Special Features:
- Good food, noisy, plenty of kidskitchendudeDined on 8/1/2014My wife and I tried P&P during the second day of our week's vacation - first week of August. Service was very good from all the wait staff, the waitress helped pick out wine to match her meal. Overall a good experience. My only issue was with the risotto, I found it bland and slightly undercooked. However, my wife who also ordered the same dish found it satisfying. If you don't mind the energetic atmosphere and slightly pricey menu it should be a good fit, especially if you're staying at Union Square.Special Features:
- Good, howevermichelleVIPDined on 7/30/2014San Francisco has so many great spots. Although Our meal was good I didn't really find it memorable. It was fine........ Had the vegatable soup, vegi's were a bit too raw and the soup tasted like it just been made that afternoon, no time to blend the flavors of a good Italian soup. Waiter was friendly however it felt a bit like a factory......... Probably will try it again someday but it's not a "must rush back"!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pricey tourist trapOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/29/2014The chicken marsala was salty and too saucy (the sauce tasted canned) and the salmon looked like it had been cooked earlier and reheated. Overpriced, too loud, and full of unknowing tourists who think it represents good Italian food in San Francisco. Thumbs down.
- VisitingXkeyinlvDined on 7/25/2014This restaraunt was across from our hotel. Food was great. Service was a little slow. But we were not in a hurry. Recommend the pork chop MmmmmmmSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointedDined on 7/25/2014We were delayed by traffic so called ahead and reservation was adjusted easily allowing for us to slip right in to bar table seating. Because we had tickets for the theater, we only had time for appetizers and glass of wine. The staff took care of us and got us on the way in plenty of time for the show. The location near Union Square and Market Street was ideal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great happy hour!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/25/2014Got to the restaurant in time to take part in happy hour prices. Great deals on food and drinks! Wonderful service-pleasant and prompt!Special Features:
- Reliable good foodFunhuntressDined on 7/20/2014I brought a group here for dinner after a matinee. They all loved it. Service was a bit spotty in that did not get new silverware when old was taken away and not keeping up with water but other wise ok. Some were surprised at portion size of a pasta dish that was $24 but all enjoyed the food.Special Features:
- Great Dining Experience!MoogieDined on 7/15/2014Everything was great! I was looking for a restaurant near Union Square because I had relatives in town and wanted something not too touristy or expensive. When I reserved through Open Table, I indicated that I was gluten-free and that we had a toddler in our party. There was a special gluten-free menu waiting for me, and for the toddler, there was a booster seat, child's water (with a straw and plastic lid to avoid spills), paper placemat for coloring, and crayons already at the table. I was very impressed with the care they took to meet our needs. The waitress was extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. The food was fantastic! I had the salmon, which was very tasty. The crème brûlée for dessert was amazing. I will definately return!Special Features:
- AndiHortoDined on 7/15/2014This was my first time here and I was pleased with the service and the food was good. I travel to SF a couple times a year for work and this was a good spot for lunch for meeting clients.Special Features:
- Great find, foodie bargainANonyMouseDined on 7/14/2014What a lucky find-- really good food, great service, friendly old wood and leather ambiance. Hey, not the best neighborhood since close to the Tenderloin, but across the street from Parc 55 Wyndham 5-star hotel, so how bad can it be? Our salmon was terrific, chicken marsala great. Good but small wine list. Best deal-- Happy Hour every day 3-6 with house wines at $3, cocktails $4 - $6.50 and lively with locals (they know a good deal when they find one). Just step around the winos outside and watch the street action from the comfort of inside. Lots of young people in this neighborhood, few tourists. Try it.Special Features:
- Delicious!JulieDined on 7/12/2014My first visit to San Fran area and we were staying at the hotel across the street from the restaurant. In the mood for italian, we tried it and we were not disappointed! Had the mussels to start and 2 orders of linguine with claims. Fresh, tasty and the fresh parm that they served with the pasta was a great bonus! I would recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/12/2014Great meal and outstanding service before a play in SF.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- suggestionsshirlVIPDined on 7/12/2014the food was very good, but would love to see more vegetarian options. right now, they are very limited, especially for an italian restaurant.Special Features:
- What a gem!FoodieDined on 7/11/2014Was traveling to San Fran and found this gem! The bartender was really nice and recommended the spaghetti and meatballs ( which I usually wouldn't get) but glad I did... The meatballs were excellent! Not a place to go if you want peace and quiet..but great if you want a fun environment and good drinks this is the way to goSpecial Features:
- Service was greatelpfilmsDined on 7/10/2014My family are a bit picky and the server did a great job accommodating them. He even split up the beer and entree they shared in 2 separate dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An OK place for dinner.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/9/2014The overall dinner was good. The warm bruschetta with rocatta cheese was great. The chicken Marsala sauce was very good, the mashed potates were very good, however the chicken was dry.

Q: What does it mean when a recipe says a sauce could "break"?
A: It means a cook's hopes have been shattered. Actually, no, that's a short way of saying that a sauce has curdled, or has lost the ability to be emulsified.
To make most sauces, you create a thick, smooth texture by suspending molecules of starch and fat in a liquid, creating an emulsification. That's what you're doing when you cook flour in fat to make a roux and then whisk in hot stock, or when you whisk melted butter into egg yolks to make hollandaise.
If the starch, fat and liquid separate, we say the sauce has broken: Something has interrupted the emulsification. The most common reason is overheating the sauce or trying to keep it warm too long. Sauces thickened with cornstarch, such as Asian stir-fry sauces, are particularly prone to breaking if you overheat them.
Sometimes you can pull a sauce together again. You can whisk in more melted butter or a little hot water to fix a broken hollandaise, for example.
Q: I am vegan and use coconut, soy and almond milk and yogurt to substitute for animal-based products. I read about an additive, carrageenan, that can cause stomach problems. What is it and should it be avoided?
A: Carrageenan comes from a red seaweed or algae that is found near Ireland. The seaweed has been used for hundreds of years to make a sort of pudding, and an extract made from it is now a common food additive. It's used to give products a thick, creamy texture, so it's popular in organic products to replace gelatin, which is animal-based.
There is concern about its safety, because some studies indicate that it may cause intestinal inflammation and could be associated with tumors. Note the use of the words "may" and "could be." The findings aren't definitive.
The Food & Drug Administration and the U.S. National Organic Standards Board allow carrageenan as a food additive, although the organic board doesn't allow it in organic infant formula. The World Health Organization also concluded it's safe but recommends not using it in formula.
Some companies are removing it, including Stonyfield and Organic Valley; others, including Silk and Horizon, continue to use it. Should you avoid it? It's hard to say. Some sources suggest it's better to consume a little carrageenan if that allows you to continue to use dairy substitutes like soy milk because the known advantage outweighs the unknown risk.

13. Will Montgomery
12. Kory Lichtensteiger
11. Perry Riley
The Redskins Top 10
10. Roy Helu Jr., RB - Helu Jr. breaks into the Top 10 this week. His three TD performance was a huge part of the Redskins victory over the Chicago Bears. LW # 15
9. Barry Cofield, NT - Cofield had a late sack on Josh McCown that helped seal the win for the Redskins. LW # 8
8. Pierre Garcon, WR - Garcon had a few big catches against the Bears, but it seems Jordan Reed is becoming the Redskins new top receiver. LW # 6
7. Jordan Reed, TE - The Rookie has put the league on notice that he is a force to be reckoned with. He seems to have a great understanding of how to get open, and his athleticism makes him a tough match up for a defense. LW # 9
6. Alfred Morris, RB - Another day, another good performance for Morris, as he rushed for 95 yards in week 7. LW # 7
5. Trent Williams, LT - Williams kept Bears pass rusher Julius Peppers in check most of the game, and helped RGIII have a big day. LW # 5
4. Ryan Kerrigan, OLB - Kerrigan had a solid game against the Bears, but others stood out a little more, so he falls a few spots. He's still playing very well on the season though. LW # 2
3. Robert Griffin III, QB - RGIII had his best game of the season against the Bears, both passing and running, so he moves up a spot this week to number 3. LW # 4
2. DeAngelo Hall, CB - Hall covered Brandon Marshall for most of the game, and although Marshall starting getting open late, Hall still did a good job against him in coverage. LW # 3
1. Brian Orakpo, OLB - Orakpo had a pick six off a deflection against the Bears. The TD was a difference maker in the game. LW # 1

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB)---On Wednesday, 59-year-old Dianne Porter got an unexpected knock at the door close to 6:00 p.m.
She says a man and woman got violent when she opened the door to her Fern Creek home.
"I thought I was going to die. I really did," says Dianne Porter.
That's when she says they started spraying her with mace.
"Then he kicked me and knocked me down to the floor and he kept saying...'don't look at me, don't look at me, cause I'll spray you more," says Dianne Porter.
You can still see the remnants of mace on the front door of her home on Elm Lake Drive.
Porter can't forget it.
"It's horrible. It's a burning feeling. It feels like you're on fire," she says.
She suffered broken ribs as they kicked her, and laid on the ground while the man and woman robbed her home.
They got away with her computer, purse, and medicine.
She believes the pain medication and her credit card, were among the items they were looking for.
She says the suspects charged $108 to her card at Crown Liquors on Cooper Chapel Road. One employee inside says he remembers someone coming in, spending that amount on cigarettes.
Porter says they also made stops at local gas stations.
She's hoping the couple doesn't strike again.
She and other neighbors are now on alert while police continue to look for the suspects.
Police in the 7th Division are looking for a white male and female in their early 20's.
The man has short blonde hair, and was wearing a green sweatshirt and blue jeans during the crime.
The woman has blonde hair, which was in a ponytail at the time of the crime.
As for Dianne Porter, she says she won't be opening the door to strangers again after this frightening experience.
"I kept saying God no. I've got to get through this. Get me through this," says Porter.

text: The search is on for the next manager of the Tigers, after skipper Jim Leyland stepped down after eight years with Detroit. In a press conference yesterday, Leyland said he told team president and general manager Dave Dombrowski, bench coach Gene Lamont and his wife of his decision to leave the dugout in early September, but did not tell his players until after they were eliminated by Boston from the American League Championship Series over the weekend. He will remain within the organization in a yet to be determined position. The 68-year-old led Detroit to its third consecutive AL Central title this year.

Formal system
A formal system is broadly defined as any well-defined system of abstract thought based on the model of mathematics. Euclid's Elements is often held[who?] to be the first[citation needed] formal system and displays the characteristic of a formal system. The entailment of the system by its logical foundation is what distinguishes a formal system from others which may have some basis in an abstract model. Often the formal system will be the basis for or even identified with a larger theory or field (e.g. Euclidean geometry) consistent with the usage in modern mathematics such as model theory. A formal system need not be mathematical as such, Spinoza's Ethics for example imitates the form of Euclid's Elements.
Each formal system has a formal language, which is composed by primitive symbols. These symbols act on certain rules of formation and are developed by inference from a set of axioms. The system thus consists of any number of formulas built up through finite combinations of the primitive symbols—combinations that are formed from the axioms in accordance with the stated rules.[1]
Formal systems in mathematics consist of the following elements:
- A finite set of symbols (i.e. the alphabet), that can be used for constructing formulas (i.e. finite strings of symbols).
- A grammar, which tells how well-formed formulas (abbreviated wff) are constructed out of the symbols in the alphabet. It is usually required that there be a decision procedure for deciding whether a formula is well formed or not.
- A set of axioms or axiom schemata: each axiom must be a wff.
- A set of inference rules.
A formal system is said to be recursive (i.e. effective) if the set of axioms and the set of inference rules are decidable sets or semidecidable sets, according to context.
Some theorists use the term formalism as a rough synonym for formal system, but the term is also used to refer to a particular style of notation, for example, Paul Dirac's bra–ket notation.
Related subjects[edit]
Logical system[edit]
A logical system or, for short, logic, is a formal system together with a form of semantics, usually in the form of model-theoretic interpretation, which assigns truth values to sentences of the formal language, that is, formulae that contain no free variables. A logic is sound if all sentences that can be derived are true in the interpretation, and complete if, conversely, all true sentences can be derived.
Formal proofs[edit]
Formal proofs are sequences of well-formed formulas. For a wff to qualify as part of a proof, it might either be an axiom or be the product of applying an inference rule on previous wffs in the proof sequence. The last wff in the sequence is recognized as a theorem.
The point of view that generating formal proofs is all there is to mathematics is often called formalism. David Hilbert founded metamathematics as a discipline for discussing formal systems. Any language that one uses to talk about a formal system is called a metalanguage. The metalanguage may be nothing more than ordinary natural language, or it may be partially formalized itself, but it is generally less completely formalized than the formal language component of the formal system under examination, which is then called the object language, that is, the object of the discussion in question.
Once a formal system is given, one can define the set of theorems which can be proved inside the formal system. This set consists of all wffs for which there is a proof. Thus all axioms are considered theorems. Unlike the grammar for wffs, there is no guarantee that there will be a decision procedure for deciding whether a given wff is a theorem or not. The notion of theorem just defined should not be confused with theorems about the formal system, which, in order to avoid confusion, are usually called metatheorems.
Formal language[edit]
In mathematics, logic, and computer science, a formal language is a language that is defined by precise mathematical or machine processable formulas. Like languages in linguistics, formal languages generally have two aspects:
- the syntax of a language is what the language looks like (more formally: the set of possible expressions that are valid utterances in the language)
- the semantics of a language are what the utterances of the language mean (which is formalized in various ways, depending on the type of language in question)
A special branch of mathematics and computer science exists that is devoted exclusively to the theory of language syntax: formal language theory. In formal language theory, a language is nothing more than its syntax; questions of semantics are not included in this specialty.
Formal grammar[edit]
In computer science and linguistics a formal grammar is a precise description of a formal language: a set of strings. The two main categories of formal grammar are that of generative grammars, which are sets of rules for how strings in a language can be generated, and that of analytic grammars, which are sets of rules for how a string can be analyzed to determine whether it is a member of the language. In short, an analytic grammar describes how to recognize when strings are members in the set, whereas a generative grammar describes how to write only those strings in the set.

Belle Isle, a 985-acre, city-run park in the middle of the Detroit River, would be managed by the state for at least the next 30 years under the terms of a lease agreement announced Wednesday by Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder.The agreement, which Bing said would save the cash-strapped city $275 million over the life of the lease, requires the approval of the Detroit City Council.Proposals for a Michigan takeover of the island park have met fierce opposition from some local officials who resist state control. In this agreement, Detroit maintains ownership of the park and the state would manage it.Snyder said the agreement would boost Detroit and serve as a model for how city and state cooperation can benefit both entities."This is not Detroit versus Michigan. This is Detroit, Michigan," he said during a news conference at Bing's downtown office.Ahead of the announcement, City Council President Charles Pugh said he wanted to review details of the lease in writing."It's not an easy decision," Pugh said. "This is a proposal."The park has not been well maintained. Belle Isle's canals need dredging, bike paths need work and restrooms need repairs.Under the lease, Belle Isle's operations, maintenance and improvements would be managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and be funded through the Michigan State Parks Endowment Fund and through other sources, which Snyder said could include bonds and grants. And the state Department of Transportation would assume responsibility for roads and bridges on the island."This relationship between the state and the city is something that a lot of people have been waiting for," Bing said.Anyone entering Belle Isle on foot wouldn't pay a fee to enter the island. Those driving a private vehicle would be required to buy a $10 recreation passport that permits entry to other state parks.Bing said the lease deal was being presented to the City Council on Wednesday, and if implemented, would take effect on March 31, although visitors would see improvements earlier than that.As for the 36 city workers on the island, the mayor said they would be redeployed to other city parks.Belle Isle was laid out by landscape architect Frederic Law Olmsted, designer of New York's Central Park. It has five miles of shoreline, including a beach. There also is a small golf course, ball fields, playgrounds and picnic shelters.The agreement is a "win-win for the city and the entire state by preserving this historic destination," the mayor said.Separately, the Belle Isle Aquarium, closed since 2005, is set to open to the public on a limited basis beginning on Saturday. Bing is to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday. The opening was made possible via an agreement reached between the city and the Belle Isle Conservancy.

Dropping in on Paul Revere in Boston, Massachusetts
As you wander the narrow streets of the North End of Boston you can't miss the Paul Revere House—it's the only wooden building tucked in amid lots of brick. It has "history" written all over it, and as you tour the house you'll discover that Revere, although best known for that famous ride, had a hand in the history of Boston (from the USS Constitution to the dome of the State House). The house seems tiny for such an iconic figure, and it must have felt crowded to him too, for he was, among all his other accomplishments, the father of sixteen children. That thought will echo in your head as you listen to the floors creaking with every footstep.

KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of the Congo, June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The Gertler Family Foundation (GFF) has distributed three tons of emergency humanitarian supplies to some of the most vulnerable among the more than 130,000 Congolese recently expelled from neighboring Republic of Congo.
During the past seven weeks, government authorities in Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo, have daily forced out of the country some 5,000 Congolese suspected of being of origin of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). While the expulsions have slowed, the newly arrived Congolese, nearly all of whom are in poor physical condition and have no personal possessions, continue to struggle in makeshift camps in and around Kinshasa, the DRC capital.
The GFF, working in coordination with the Police Nationale Congolaise (PNC) and DRC Ministry of Social Affairs, provided drinking water, rice, flour, fish, beans, vegetables, cooking oil and other supplies to some 5,500 people living in a makeshift camp in Maluku, 40miles (60km) outside of Kinshasa. The majority of the camps residents are women and children, including unaccompanied minors.
"This camp had exhausted its already limited food supply and the entire displaced population was truly suffering," said Dieudonné Kayembe, GFF Communications Specialist. "Working with the camp director, the director of the PNC and staff from the Ministry of Social Affairs, the GFF contributed exactly what the displaced population needed and enabled camp officials to restart food distributions."
Mr. Dan Gertler is a co-founder of the GFF. One of the DRC's biggest foundations, the GFF is committed to helping meet the needs of vulnerable Congolese. Since its inception in 2004, the GFF has invested millions of dollars in health, education, agriculture, emergency relief, infrastructure, culture and other projects across the DRC.

IRVING, Texas - The Cowboys have once again added another defensive lineman. This time, he's a little more well-known than some of the others.
The Cowboys have added Marvin Austin, a former second-round pick of the Giants in 2011. Austin missed all of his rookie season with a torn pectoral muscle and played in just eight games last year for the Giants, who cut him after the last preseason game. Austin was then picked up by the Dolphins but cut two weeks ago.
The Cowboys had an open spot on the roster having putting defensive end
Austin is a former college teammate of Cowboys linebacker
On Monday, coach Jason Garrett commented on Austin's versatility as a tackle, stating, "he can play both of those defensive tackle spots."
Garrett was asked why Austin didn't work out with the Giants or the Dolphins, but rather spoke on the aspects of
"What we know about him is a lot of really positive things," Garrett said. "There are some positive physical traits and some positive character personality traits you want to tap into it. You want to give a guy a blank slate when he comes in and hopefully the environment you create for him brings out the best in him."
Austin is yet another player high-profile college player whom the Cowboys have added to bolster the defensive line depth, along with
The Cowboys have also signed veteran
Overall, 14 different defensive linemen have suited up for the Cowboys in the first seven games. The Cowboys are hoping Austin is ready to become the 15th this weekend in Detroit.

5.0 out of 5 stars St. Vincent, methodical Madness.,
This review is from: St. Vincent (MP3 Download)
Admittedly, I only found out about this Artist after watching her recent performance on the Jools Holland show, (2014), which was, erm.. interesting, to say the least. Undeterred, I looked her up on the web and discovered her music videos, which, if I'm honest, I found a bit disturbed... Haneke-esque, but Suess-ier. Nevertheless, I found myself the next day trying to recall the guitar riff from her song 'Birth in Reverse'. I decided to buy the download of the album, which was modestly priced at �4.99, and I can truly say have no regrets. I have enjoyed all the songs on this album and have found St. Vincent's Annie Clark to be much more than 'another Lady Gaga' as one Youtuber elegantly stated... She is in fact a very accomplished musician and although never overstated on this album, she shreds the guitar...!!
This isn't in my opinion a Masterpiece, though I believe she is more than capable of creating one. It's hard to put into words, but I feel this could be what music has been lacking in recent months, perhaps I have to get out more but It's good to see real talent prevail! If I have any criticisms, they would only be that the last track is not as strong as the others, but it's still great. I look forward to hearing more from this artist and I'm glad to know there were three albums prior to this one- all of which I will be listening to in the near future. Thanks!

Christian R. Mole (Chislehurst, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: St. Vincent [Digipak] (Audio CD)
St Vincent had somehow completely passed me by until I heard Digital Witness on Six Radio. I pre-ordered the album on the strength of that song and wasn't disappointed. Very varied collection of songs ranging from Prince style funk to (near) balladry but there isn't a duff track and there is a boundless energy throughout. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars St Vincent - The Jigsaw Pieces Come Together,
Red on Black - See all my reviews
This review is from: St. Vincent [Digipak] (Audio CD)
4.5 Stars
Try to write a review of the music of St Vincent aka Annie Clark without using the words strange, quirky, eccentric or experimental. Not an easy task since Clark has been a proud pusher of boundaries since the release of her solo debut album "Marry Me" in 2007. She has also in that time struck up a useful partnership with the "Head" Talking Head David Byrne and if 2012's joint effort "Love this Giant" was quite what it promised then Clarks self titled fourth album sets the record straight.
St Vincent is the complete album that Ms Clark has been promising the over the past seven years. There have been occasions in her previous work that it has been a little to clever with songs that sound that they need more work or a slight injection of melody. It is pleasing to report therefore that she has shown more restraint here yet at the same time produced an album that could only be an St Vincent production. The ingenuity of her arrangements remains but somehow more shape and order is present. The powerhouse funky opener "Rattlesnakes" has a staccato synth line and breathy vocals by Clark and is an ecstatic start. The angular "Birth in reverse" is not one of the stronger tracks here but the track "Prince Johnny" that follows is a joy. It is almost a conventional ballad for Clark infused with brilliant lyrics not least the observation "Remember the time we went and snorted/A piece of the Berlin wall that you'd extorted/And we'd had such a laugh of it/Prostrate on my carpet". From here on the album gets better and better. "Huey Newton" starts like a slow trip hop song, only to introduce a nasty powered monster riff at around 3 minutes. The brassy single "Digital Witness" is a hybrid of Talking Heads meets Prince slice of funk accompanied with a brilliant video that updates Fritz Lang's classic silent film Metropolis. The next song "Regret" is like that very clever pop of the Dirty Projectors variety and a delight to the ears. The crunchy rock of "Psychopath" is hewn from the same cloth as "Rattlesnakes" whilst "Every Tear Disappears" is overshadowed by the albums standout and concluding track "Severed Crossed Fingers". On this Clark injects black humour into a Bowie like forlorn tale of love where she ruefully reflects, " Well you stole the heart right out my chest/Changed the words that I know best/Found myself with crossed fingers in the rubble there"
The great news about St Vincent is that this is by far her most accessible album to date. There has been nothing wrong with her inspired eclectic music to date, it is just that Annie Clark's fourth album finally completes the picture on the jigsaw box and nearly all the pieces fit perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where has this artist been all my life?,
Evan Radcliffe "E.R" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
To my own ignorance I've only discovered this artist within the last month and all I want to know is why has it taken me so long? Had I known she had more album releases prior to this I would have been a fan long ago, so bare in mind that this is my first album I've listened to from St. Vincent so I'm not going to comment on previous albums or compare them as I cannot judge.
Now onto the review and what you came here for, I found it to be a masterpiece and a beautiful symphony to my ears as I listened to this album far too much. It has this metaphorical fishing rod that reels you in and keeps you there for days. I took notions to listen to other artists in my library but this kept pulling me back into the world of St. Vincent. The title track, "Rattlesnake" is a brilliant collaboration between the genres of rock and indietronica, it has a powerful bassline, excellent vocals and a cracking guitar solo to boot. It's that type of song that keeps you in the album and makes you want more, and this album provides, let me tell you. As it moves onto "Birth in Reverse" you are treated to a brilliantly rhythmic and co-ordinated song that delivers on powerful bass and great guitar work. Then there is my personal favourite "Bring Me Your Loves", this song with head phones on, turning it up past eleven and allowing it to strike your eardrums giving you that "goosebumps on your arms feeling", bass and guitar solos with a great sense of lyricism makes this song my favourite as it ticks all the correct boxes for me. The next song I'll mention is "Severed Crossed Fingers". This song takes a slower paced approach, as opposed to the other songs I've mentioned, but it's just as good. Only song from the album I dislike is, "I Prefer Your Love"; it's not the worst song I've ever listened to, I just found it boring and non engaging.
As I've expressed I did not find much bad points in this album, otherwise I would not be rating it five stars, but again I re-iterate; I'm not an avid listener of St. Vincent as this is my first album I've listened to, so if you're more of a seasoned listener and you're contemplating buying this album, I can still recommend it, but you should look at some of the great reviews from better acquainted listeners of this artist. However if you're new like me, this is your excuse to click that "Add to basket" button.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy it!,
S. Collins (UK) - See all my reviews
I can't compare this album to previous works by the artist as I only came across St. Vincent recently while they performed on Jools Holland in the UK. The songs were great and really stood out on the show and the lead singer had a great stage presence and is obviously a great and charismatic performer.
I only got around to getting the album this week and think it's fantastic - it's rare you love nearly every song on an album upon the first listen when you haven't heard the artist before but I enjoyed it from start to finish and played it again straight away. I really like the vocal and it works perfectly on all the songs that range from sexy & quirky electronica to funky indie with some brilliant guitar and chunky bass, as well as a couple of slower tracks that work just as well. There is some really good songwriting on this album with interesting and quirky lyrics.
Digital Witness is probably my favorite track on the album at the moment - every person I've played it to has liked it and asked who it is.
If you're in doubt then watch some videos on Youtube - I will definitely be getting more albums from this artist in the future!

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (May 17, 2012) – Rutgers men's cross country and track & field standout Ben Forrest (Jackson, N.J.) was the recipient of the 2011-12 American Eagle Outfitters Michael Tranghese Postgraduate Leadership Award, as chosen by the BIG EAST Conference Academic Affairs Committee.
It marks the second-straight year that a Rutgers student-athlete earned the award, as Forrest joins inaugural winner Amy Zhang, a 2011 graduate and member of the women's tennis team.
"This is a well-deserved honor for Ben," said head men's cross country and track & field coach Mike Mulqueen. "He has worked extremely hard for everything he has earned. No one has worked harder than he has and he has improved immensely from the time he arrived at Rutgers to now. This award could not go to a more deserving and determined young man."
The awards are given to one male and one female student-athlete from a BIG EAST-sponsored sport who have been admitted to a degree-granting or professional program for the following year and who have demonstrated leadership through excellence in academic credentials, athletic performance and depth of commitment to service within the institution or the community.
Forrest will receive a $5,000 scholarship, which will be applied to postgraduate study. Majoring in astrophysics with a minor in mathematics, Forrest boasts a 3.933 grade-point average. He was a Presidential Scholar at Rutgers and member of the Chi Alpha Sigma college athlete honor society. Forrest was chosen to the school's Vice-President's Leadership Cabinet and has been active in a number of community service efforts.
A four-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star, Forrest served as captain of the cross country team during 2011 season. He was a BIG EAST and IC4A scorer in the 4x800-meter relay, earning All-East honors. Forrest was also an IC4A qualifier in the distance medley relay.
Forrest has been admitted to a Ph.D. program in astrophysics at Texas A&M and has been awarded a graduate doctoral merit fellowship.
The award is named for Michael Tranghese, the BIG EAST's first full-time employee who served as commissioner of the conference from 1990 to 2009.
The American Eagle Outfitters Michael Tranghese Postgraduate Leadership award is one of a number of scholarships presented by the BIG EAST Conference and American Eagle Outfitters during the 2011-12 academic year. In addition to this award, 32 student-athletes (one male and one female from each of the BIG EAST's 16 member institutions) have been named as the winners of the American Eagle Outfitters BIG EAST Institutional Scholar-Athlete Scholarships. The conference also names male and female American Eagle Outfitters BIG EAST Basketball Scholar-Athletes of the Year and an American Eagle Outfitters BIG EAST Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

wow, how lucky is it to be a cookbook author whose name is almost Mark Bittman?
I'm excited to see this beautifully styled book in person!
@Thrift, I totally read this too quickly and thought it was Mark Bittman until your comment! I kept thinking it was such an odd departure for him.
That said, I am completely intrigued by this cooking technique.
also duped by the similarities in names
also duped.
makes me wonder what the real Mark Bittman thinks of salt blocks . . .
While not Mark Bittman, he is the same Mark Bitterman of the book Salted, which is a fantastic volume on the subject of salt and its culinary use. Won a James Beard award a few years ago.

Help Kickstart A Student-Designed Solution to Costa Rica's Waste Management Problem
Friday, November 30, 2012
Jaclyn Hersh.
Architecture students from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) are returning to Nosara, Costa Rica to continue work on a recycling center to help alleviate the region's overlooked municipal solid waste management problem. Led by architect and professor Tobias Holler of HOLLER architecture, the NYIT team began designing and building the recycling center last summer with the help of a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $20,000 in four weeks. To complete the project, the team has launched another Kickstarter campaign and with just 13 days to go before the campaign ends, $5,130 still needs to be raised.

The Who by Numbers
In a year when there is little chance of a second season, it becomes important to keep your eye on positive trends. When it comes to the Edmonton Oilers, one of the major positives this season is the quality of EV scoring among the kids.
The All-Star break is a good time to review the first half (actually more like 5/8′s) of the season and a look at EV scoring totals per 60 minutes reveals that some of the youngsters are holding their own in this very important category.
Here's the list (courtesy Desjardins):
- Hemsky 2.79
- Horcoff 2.64
- Nilsson 2.35
- Gagner 1.93
- Cogliano 1.88
- Brodziak 1.59
- Penner 1.53
- Sanderson 1.42
- Moreau 1.35
- Torres 1.22
- Reasoner 1.18
- Thoresen 1.04
- Pisani .98
- Stoll .84
- Stortini .70
Hemsky and Horcoff have expected numbers, but that Nilsson total is terrific based on his slower start and inconsistency. It's a very positive sign. Gagner's number is also impressive considering his age and Cogliano begins a nice group of three role players (Cogs, Penner, Brodziak) who appear to be earning their keep. After that we get the guys who are done (Sanderson), have been hurt (Moreau, Pisani, Stoll, Torres), the enforcer (Stortini) and our utility infielders (Reasoner and Thoresen).
Again using Desjardins, let's look at which players are bleeding goals at EVs. We should expect the kids to struggle in this category and as well we need to give a break to the forwards who are doing the "heavy lifting" against the other team's best players. This category is Goals against per 60 minutes at even strength:
- Reasoner 3.44
- Brodziak 3.43
- Cogliano 3.29
- Gagner 3.22
- Sanderson 3.04
- Stoll 3.04
- Hemsky 2.88
- Thoresen 2.76
- Horcoff 2.56
- Pisani 2.35
- Nilsson 2.35
- Stortini 2.32
- Torres 2.31
- Penner 2.3
- Moreau 2.02
We have to be careful with these, understanding that injuries and callups mean that some of these guys may not have enough at-bats for us to consider these real numbers. Having said that, it's about what we might expect, with strong veterans like Moreau, Horcoff and Pisani well down the list and the Gagner's of the world right at the top. We can see clearly here why the coach likes Stortini so much and begin to see the problems MacT has in line shuffling just by the number of "plus 3′s" on this list. MacT has two full forward lines bleeding out shortly after the anthem. For comparison, the Leafs are close to offing themselves with three regular forwards (Tlusty, Bell and Steen) below the Mendoza line. That's one full line (and as much as 15 minutes) MORE THAN TORONTO per game the coach has to juggle.
Finally we come to toughness of opposition. I'm a little hesitant to get into this discussion because the information doesn't really reflect what we're seeing, or at least I'm not able to explain the data in a rational way. It looks like the coach has decided to "share the wealth" in terms of matching up against the other guy's best players so we have a lot of forwards bunched closely together.
Here, let's look at Edmonton and then Calgary for some perspective.
- Thoresen .10
- Reasoner .08
- Stoll .06
- Hemsky .05
- Horcoff .04
- Torres .03
- Brodziak .02
- Stortini .02
- Pisani EVEN
- Penner EVEN
- Nilsson -.01
- Gagner -.01
- Sanderson -.02
- Cogliano -.03
- Moreau -.04
Okay, bear with me here. First of all the Thoresen numbers are over fewer games so we need to pay less heed to it. Next we have a large group between .08 and Even (there are 9 forwards, or three lines in that range) which "bunches up" the tough minutes, and in fact there have been times recently when players not among that 9 (Gagner as an example) seem to have been matched up against the other team's top players. So what I'm saying is the Oilers really are sharing those tough minutes or possibly MacT isn't as concerned about line matching in the "season of learning" we are witnessing.
Using Calgary's forwards as an example, their top 3 forwards (Tanguay, .13; Conroy, .09; Iginla, .05) are well clear of their 10-12F's (Primeau, -.10; Goddard, -.17; Nilsson, -.18) and they have 2 lines above EVEN and the rest of their forwards below sea level.
What does this all tell us?
- MacT's watching the games, just like you and me.
- There's probably not much he can do most nights.
- Horcoff and Hemsky are underpaid.
- Gagner giveth and he taketh away and he is not alone.
- This team will be better next year.
- If Craig MacTavish had as much input into the roster as we were told he did in the summer, I imagine his input will be a little different this summer.
- You cannot win if you don't have enough established NHL players. You just can't.
- Developing too many kids at one time is as bad an idea as conventional wisdom suggested, but it's always good for NHL teams to have a recent example.
- The NHL now has a recent example.

Madison, WISCONSIN You could call this the "separation scrimmage" for the Badgers.
They held their second open scrimmage Monday at Camp Randall Stadium.
Head Coach Gary Andersen wasn't ready to name a starting quarterback, but the offense showed more signs of progress.
Joel Stave got the first reps with the starters.
He led them on a touchdown drive to open the practice.
Curt Phillips was next up.
He connected with Alex Erickson on a 20-yard touchdown toss.
Phillips has been the most consistent quarterback.
He and Stave are still neck-and-neck.
"It was good for us to get things clicking. If you've been to practice you know we've done some very good things during practice. But practice is not games. It was good to see us make some plays down the field," Andersen said afterwards.
The Badgers open the season August 31st at home against UMass.
All in all, Andersen was happy with the work of his entire offense.
