Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, a maker of cool fuel cell gadgets, like hydrogen-powered toy cars for kids, has introduced their coolest gadget yet: a pocket-sized portable fuel cell power plant that can charge your cell phones, MP3 players and www.investordaily.com.au other devices.
The MiniPAK, as it's called, comes with two refillable cartridges that each store the new drug levitra same amount of energy as 1,000 disposable AA batteries. It can charge devices requiring up to 3W and has a DC output of 2.5W. It contains an air-breathing fuel cell and a solid-state hydrogen storage unit (meaning no self-discharging of the energy).
The cartridges, called Hydrostiks, can be refilled with an included home recharging unit that uses water and electricity to generate and store the hydrogen.
The MiniPAK costs $100, not a high price to pay for grid-free charging on the go.

Celebrate the games
Museum visitors get a taste of cricket's relationship to baseball in Hall of Fame's new exhibit
By Craig Muder
June 04, 2011
The chatter was like that of any group of baseball fans – exchanges focusing on batting, pitching and fielding.
But on Saturday at the Baseball Hall of Fame, many of those fans were talking about baseball's distant cousin, cricket, and the Museum's new Swinging Away exhibit that celebrates the relationship of the two sports.
Swinging Away: How Baseball and Cricket Connect opened in April at the Hall of Fame, which will display the exhibit – created by the Marylebone Cricket Club of London with assistance from the Baseball Hall of Fame – through February. Events celebrating the exhibit on Saturday in Cooperstown – and continuing on Sunday – feature round-table discussions of the history of both sports as well as demonstrations of cricket.
"It has been a great pleasure to put this exhibition together, but it would have been a one-sided endeavor without the enthusiastic support of the staff at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum," said Beth Hise, lead curator of the exhibition, based in Sydney, Australia as lead curator of the Historic Houses Trust, and author of the book by the same name, Swinging Away. "It has also been a privilege to explore cricket in America through the collection of the CC Morris Library in Haverford, which the generous support of their staff. I hope Swinging Away brings some new discoveries and interesting stories to the visitors at the Hall of Fame."
Cricket evolved as the first team sport in America, before giving way in popularity to baseball and other games. George Kirsch, a professor of history at Manhattan College and one of Saturday's roundtable panelists, estimates that as many as 10,000 Americans played cricket before the Civil War – an astounding number for a largely agrarian society.
"Cricket was America's first team sport," said Kirsch, has penned several books about the subject. "Why did baseball overtake it in popularity? One reason is that Americans would simply not accept an English game as the National Pastime."
Worldwide, however, cricket continues to prosper, and the game is generally considered the second-most popular sport on the planet, behind only soccer. Paul Hensley, president of the C.C. Morris Cricket Library at Haverford College, which has loaned several artifacts to the Swinging Away exhibit, suggests that another challenge for cricket in America was the exclusivity of the teams.
"You can look in the Swinging Away exhibit and see – from the photos of the teams more than 100 years ago – that the game was played by people of uniform ethnicity," Hensley said. "It became difficult for other people to connect to cricket."
But Lloyd Jodah, president of American College Cricket, believes the ethnicity of the game is now helping grow the sport in America.
"When immigrants came to this country 100 years ago, they wanted to be Americans," said Jodah, who moved to the United States from Guyana in 1982 and is now working to support cricket's popularity among colleges. "The best way to do that was to play the American game: Baseball.
"But now, the game of cricket is making a comeback, and it's a comeback based on ethnicity. That's a strength of the game in this day and age."
Swinging Away reveals some remarkable surprises, dispels some cherished convictions and sets out for the first time to explore these two great bat and ball sports side by side. The collection includes uniforms and equipment worn by the biggest names of each sport, including as Derek Jeter and Andrew Flintoff, Bengie Molina and Adam Gilchrist, Kumar Sangakkara, Paul Collingwood, Robin Wallace and Charlotte Edwards and Shahid Afridi.
Swinging Away is featured on the third floor of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, and admission to the exhibition is included with Museum admission. For more information on Swinging Away, please click here. Swinging Away will be open through December 2011.
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Caroline Beats Elena
Published October 26, 2010 12:00
DOHA, Qatar - Caroline Wozniacki was in top form in her first match of the WTA Championships - Doha 2010, crushing Elena Dementieva, 61 61.
Watch live tennis from Doha this week on TennisTV.com!
Wozniacki, the No.1 seed at the season-ender, lost eight points in her seven service games and broke Dementieva five times en route to the 53-minute win.
"Elena's a great player so to pull this one out was nice," Wozniacki said in her on-court interview after the match. "I'm really happy to get through my first match. I love it here - it's fantastic in Doha, the crowd and the support. It was a big help for me today and I'm looking forward to my next one."
Wozniacki scored her WTA-leading 60th match victory of the season. She also has the most titles on the WTA this year, winning six: Ponte Vedra Beach, Copenhagen, Montréal, New Haven, Tokyo and Beijing. The last four of those are all Premiers; a title here would be her biggest of the year and her career.
Watch highlights on Video On Demand presented by Dubai Duty Free!
Dementieva had pushed Wozniacki to three sets in their two other meetings this year, falling to the Dane in the semis of New Haven, 16 63 76(5), and in the final of Tokyo, 16 62 63. She fell to 3-9 lifetime against No.1s, those wins coming against Martina Hingis (2001 Moscow), Lindsay Davenport (2005 US Open) and Serena Williams earlier this season (2010 Sydney).

We do our best to stay up to date with the latest MetroPCS certified releases, but it's possible we have not yet certified the Metro Total Protection app for the latest update to your phone's operating system. Please check back again for a future update. Thank you for your interest in the Metro Total Protection and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Please note: We do not support rooted Android™ devices. The Metro Total Protection app is only compatible with operating systems that are MetroPCS certified and unmodified for your device.

What is my mobile app Password?
How do I retrieve a forgotten Password?
The Metro Total Protection app is draining my battery life. How do I fix that?
Why is the GPS location not always accurate?
To obtain an accurate GPS locate, a handset needs to receive information from at least four satellites that orbit the earth (32 total). It then calculates the distances from the satellites and determines its location by trilateration.
Assisted GPS or aGPS is another type of GPS that relies on an assistance server, in addition to the satellite's trilateration data. The assistance server from Metro provides additional network information to the device that can aid it in the calculation of its location. This can be very helpful when the satellite signal is weak or unavailable (usually due to the device being indoors).
The Metro Total Protection app (MTP) uses both sGPS (standalone GPS) and aGPS to calculate a handset's location. Any time a handset is polled for bread-crumbing data (location interval data, as opposed to a real-time locate data), the MTP app uses sGPS data only to capture those scheduled requests. sGPS data is highly accurate but not as reliable as assisted GPS (aGPS).
Anytime the MTP app is asked to do a real-time locate, aGPS is used through the Metro network to combine the GPS collected data with the Metro assistance server data. aGPS will return a more reliable position, but is not always as accurate as sGPS due to coverage constraints and other network factors. In the event that aGPS is unavailable when a real-time locate is initiated, the MTP app uses a failover method back to sGPS.
Why isn't the Metro Total Protection saving my location?
For location services to work, you must have GPS enabled on your phone. To enable GPS on your device, follow the instructions below:
For Android™ Devices:
Settings ⇒ Location and security ⇒ Use wireless networks & Use GPS satellite
For BlackBerry® Devices:
Options ⇒ Advanced Options ⇒ GPS set to Location On Location Setting ⇒ Get Settings ⇒ Location On
For WinMo Devices:
All Settings ⇒ More ⇒ More ⇒ Other Settings ⇒ Location ⇒ On
If GPS still is not working, you may need to reboot your device. If your device is not listed above, check your owner's manual for instructions.
Why isn't the Metro Total Protection app saving my phone location as often as my location frequency setting?
Currently, most phones require you to be outdoors in order to receive a location using GPS. Also, the Metro Total Protection app might not check your location as frequently as your location interval specifies if your phone is in the same place, if your phone's location cannot be determined, or if your phone is low on battery. These steps are taken to conserve battery life.
What browsers are compatible with the Metro Total Protection app?
Are there any additional troubleshooting tips I can try?
How do I uninstall the Metro Total Protection app?
For Android™ Devices:
Settings ⇒ Applications ⇒ Manage Applications ⇒ Metro Total Protection ⇒ Uninstall
For BlackBerry® Devices:
Options ⇒ Applications ⇒ Metro Total Protection ⇒ Delete Options ⇒ Advanced Options ⇒ Applications ⇒ Metro Total Protection ⇒ Delete
For Windows Mobile Devices:
All Settings ⇒ More ⇒ Remove Programs ⇒ Metro Total Protection

Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun-fan; 27 November 1940 – 20 July 1973) was a Chinese American and Hong Kong actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, film director, film producer, screenwriter, and founder of the Jeet Kune Do martial arts movement. He is widely considered by many commentators and other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist of modern times, and a cultural icon.
Lee was born in San Francisco, California in the United States, to parents of Hong Kong heritage but raised in Hong Kong until his late teens. Upon reaching the age of 18, Lee emigrated to the United States to claim his U.S. citizenship and receive his higher education. It was during this time he began teaching martial arts, which soon led to film and television roles.
His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, and sparked a major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and the rest of the world as well. He is noted for his roles in five feature-length films, Lo Wei's The Big Boss (1971) and Fist of Fury (1972); Way of the Dragon (1972), directed and written by Lee; Warner Brothers' Enter the Dragon (1973), directed by Robert Clouse; and The Game of Death (1978), directed by Robert Clouse posthumously.

Philadelphia, Pa., November 10, 2009 — Branden Pfefferkorn, MD, MPH, is winner of the American Public Health Association's 2009 Jay S. Drotman Memorial Award for young professionals.
The award recognizes a health worker or student, 30 or younger, who has demonstrated potential in the health field by challenging traditional public health policy or practice in a creative and positive way.
Having recently completed graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Pfefferkorn impressed his mentors early in medical school by becoming actively involved in efforts to lessen industry influence in medical education both at the local and national level. As part of this work, he developed a controversial scorecard to assess and compare conflict-of-interest policies at U.S. medical schools. The scorecards have led to medical schools modifying their policies regarding medical industry sponsorship of medical school programs.
Pfefferkorn's most notable accomplishment has involved his work on humanitarian drug licensing, which began when he discovered that a medication developed at the University of Wisconsin was being withheld from Thailand. When his attempt to negotiate with the director of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation failed, Pfefferkorn persisted and joined the national coordinating committee for Universities Allied for Essential Medicines. He presented his project at the group's national meeting, published a guest column in the Wisconsin State Journal and helped coordinate a petition campaign and poster display on campus. The work culminated in an oral presentation at the 2008 APHA Annual Meeting.
During his undergraduate studies at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, Pfefferkorn was on the dean's list for eight semesters and a member of the Society for Collegiate Journalists, the national leadership honor society Omicron Delta Kappa, the English honor society Sigma Tau Delta, the biology honor society Beta Beta Beta and the freshman honor society Alpha Lambda Delta. He won a sophomore essay award of merit for "Antibiotic Resistance: Fighting Bacteria that Fight Back."
He is a member of the American Medical Students Association, National Physicians Alliance, Universities Allied for Essential Medicines and was a delegate for the annual meeting of the Wisconsin Medical Society. Among his community service and volunteer work, he was a member of the Ethics Symposium Organizing Committee, a Navajo Nation spring break trip coordinator and a Doctors Ought to Care presenter at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and a steering committee member for the Dane County Domestic Violence Task Force. As a fellow for LOCUS – the Leadership Opportunities with Communities, the Under-served and Special Populations — Pfefferkorn helped design and implement a series of interviews with dairy farmers in Wisconsin to assess their views of health care and needed health care reform.
"I can honestly say that I have never worked with a student with more creativity, motivation and commitment to public health," said Patrick Remington, MD, MPH, associate dean for public health at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, in a letter nominating Pfefferkorn for the Drotman award. "Branden is truly an outstanding young public health professional, whose early work signals great promise that he will become a future public health leader."

Part of our Essential Cinema series. See classic art films the way they were meant to be seen - with an audience, on the big screen!
"A film of astonishing beauty and daring! Not a horror picture but one of eerie wonderment and bizarre spectacle." – Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
"An object lesson in the art of the remake! Herzog succeeds in imprinting the material with his own unique sensibility. The result is an earnest homage that also bears unmistakable traces of cinematic one-upmanship." – Budd Wilkins, Slant
"A pinnacle of horror cinema! Chillingly poetic. Herzog sets a surreally moody stage ... atmospheric, rhapsodic and achingly transcendent." – Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York
Werner Herzog's moody homage to FW Murnau's silent terror masterpiece Nosferatu is a transcendent remake that remains one of the maverick moviemaker's most haunting, atmospheric and darkly poetic films. Ignoring decades of cinematic vampire mythology ingrained by such directors as Tod Browning (Dracula) and Terence Fisher (Horror of Dracula), Herzog instead harkens back to the apex of German cinema and culture before the dark years of the Nazi regime, re-imagining FW Murnau's original 1922 classic (which he considered one of the greatest German films ever made), as well as Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, with his own distinctly unsettling and offbeat sensibilities. Seemingly born to play Count Dracula, frequent Herzog star Klaus Kinski plays the grotesquely bat-like, bucktoothed bloodsucker as a pitiable, world-weary creature cursed with the loneliness of eternal life. Wracked by guilt, longing for death, and crushed under the weight of centuries, the Count becomes drawn to the ethereal beauty of his naïve estate agent Jonathan Harker's (Bruno Ganz) wife, Lucy (Isabelle Adjani), setting in motion a tragic and nightmarish series of events that threaten to destroy them all. Herzog's remake at times matches the original shot for shot — with Kinski's supremely creepy monster a dead-ringer for original star Max Schreck — but adding sound, color, a passionate and sensual heroine in Isabelle Adjani, 11,000 plague-ridden rats, and haunting slow-motion shots of vampire bats in flight gives Herzog's take an unforgettable atmosphere all its own. Herzog shot two versions simultaneously: an English-language version that was released in the US theatrically and on video, and this newly restored German-language version (with English subtitles) that's been virtually unseen here in the States. A true classic, Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre is one of the most unforgettable genre films ever made. (Dir. by Werner Herzog, 1979, Germany/France, in English, German & Romani with subtitles, 107 mins., Rated PG) Digital

Hello Flo ad raises cheers for frank talk
A tampon commercial featuring a honest 12-year-old is earning rave reviews. But some critics say it's unrealistic and 'abrasive.'
A new ad for a tampon-delivery service may be the most frank-talking spot about menstruation ever created, and that's prompting both cheers and jeers.
The nearly two-minute video for Hello Flo features a girl at summer camp who's unpopular until she gets her period. She then embarks upon a mission to educate and help the other girls learn and deal with their menstruation. She utters lines like, "I got my period! The red badge of courage!"The frank language and the girl's precocious delivery prompted Adweek on Monday to name it "ad of the day," pointing out that the commercial shows how advertisers and viewers are less squeamish today over feminine products and delivering words like "vagina."
Given the support for the ad -- it had been viewed nearly 4 million times as of Friday morning -- it's perhaps inevitable that some would cry foul over the commercial's portrayal.
"The girl looks like she's nine. She's at least young enough to have a Dora the Explorer doll with her, and how she uses it in the video is a bit visually disturbing," writes Kathleen Volk Miller in PhillyMag.com. (The girl uses the doll in a menstruation demonstration.)
Miller adds that the girl's bossy behavior and tampon distribution "just doesn't seem plausible" and that some of her language is "creepy."
But a bigger question is whether the service is even necessary. The company is hawking monthly plans, ranging from $14 to $18, that deliver "the right amount" of tampons and pads.
The deliveries also include "some delicious treats." (The site doesn't specify what the treats are, but calls them "fun and tasty.")
The boxes are delivered about three to seven days before a customer's next period, and clients are able to log in and change their expected period dates, if needed.
But that might strike some as pricey, given that a 50-count of Kimberly-Clark's (KMB) Kotex sells for just $8 online. Add in a few candies or a Hershey's (HSY) chocolate bar, and you're probably not going to break more than $10 in monthly costs.
Yet while the service might put a premium on tampons, the ad has helped spark a frank discussion about a topic previously hidden by allusion and innuendo.
Follow Aimee Picchi on Twitter at @aimeepicchi.
Two little boys walked into a drug store. "May I help you?," asked the druggist. "We'd like a box of Tampax, please," replied the older boy.
"Is it for your mother?," the druggist asked. "No," the boy replied.
"Oh, then it must be for your big sister." said the curious druggist.
"No, it's for my little brother," the older boy replied enthusiastically. "We heard on TV that if you use Tampax you can swim and ride a bike and he can't do either one yet."
So, when is the first condum demonstrative commercial going to appear,,
Good grief isnt anything private anymore, and why is it alway the women that get to be embarassed on t.v.,,
And I agree,, where are the parents, specifically the moms that used to have that " private conversation" with us, embarassed or not.
Parents, speak up to your children,, quit shirking your responsibilites to your kids, quit giving their care and nurtering over to others,
The ad is like a movie trailer and very creative. The girl in the ad would make a good child actress. Maybe the concept is a good idea for a movie aimed at pre-teen and teen girls or in an educational program to get girls talking about their periods . Menstruation is happening to girls at younger and younger ages than in the past. But I didn't like the doll demo in the ad.

Price: $335
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
When I ordered my Ganesha statue, I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly but BOOM, there he was on my porch in less than a week! It was packed meticulously and with the love that it deserved. He is sitting proudly in my living room now and I couldn't be happier. Thank you!Reviewer:Monica (Kalamazoo, Michigan, US)
Buddha as presented. Packed well. Shipped quickly. How could I not be pleased? We are most happy with this purchase!Reviewer:L. Mattas (Hidden Valley Lake, California, US)
thanks for all. I apreciate your fast serviceReviewer:yolanda (aventura, florida, US)
I cannot say enough positive about my experience in working with Kyle at Lotus Sculpture. I made a purchase of a beautiful Buddha, and it was damaged during shipping. Kyle was so positive and supportive, professional and personable: as unhappy as I am over loosing the beautiful Buddha I had chosen, Kyle worked with me to find another. I am very delighted with my Buddha; the new one has arrived safetly and is even more amazing than Kyle could describe. Every time I have ever contacted Kyle with any question, he has been very quick to respond, and given me good information. My overall experience with Kyle and Lotus Sculpture has been very positive, and I am looking forward to future satisfying events. Thank you, Des.Reviewer:Ava Desiree Hutsell (Warwick, RI, US)
Buying these Ganeshas were a dream of mine for so long and I'm glad I did. Kyle was absolutely wonderful to deal and my Ganeshas came rather quickly and beautifully packaged. They are treasures on my altar and already I'm thinking of my next purchase. Thank you Lotus Sculpture for your wonderful service.Reviewer:Aman Pillay (Auckland, Auckland, NZ)
I have been looking at this statue for years, and knew deep down that I wanted to add it to my collection of other Lotus Sculpture statues. This antique statue is unique (estimated to be between 50 and 200 years old) and was offered to me at such a special discount that I felt overwhelmed when I opened the box, carefully packaged by Kyle and his team. When I looked at Goddess Meenakshi I smiled, because her nose is slightly crooked just like mine! I knew immediately that I am part of her and she is part of me. She is now sitting proudly on a dresser beside another antique statue of Shiva. Their respective heights are perfect. The love couple is complete! Thanks to Lotus Sculpture and Kyle Tortora for his generosity and for giving me this one chance opportunity to be connected to what is close to my heart. May Lotus Sculpture be prosperous!Reviewer:Jenny Wolkowicki (Roselle Park, NJ, US)
In all of my interactions with the owner of Lotus Sculpture, I experienced respectful communication, clear organization and overall excellent customer service. Thank you. I love the piece I bought from you.Reviewer:Amy Nosek (Bowen Island, British Columbia, CA)
Kyle with Lotus Sculpture, worked with us to find the best situation for our new swimming pool. We purchased two beautiful Buddha Heads that now stand on our pool columns overlooking the pool. Beautiful!!! We'll continue to shop here for more special Buddha's.Reviewer:David A. Kress (Chandler, AZ, US)

About Lakshmi
Draped in red saree, bedecked with gold ornaments, seated on a lotus, pot in hand, flanked by white elephants, the image of Lakshmi adorns most Hindu homes and business establishments.
Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, fortune, power, luxury, beauty, fertility, and auspiciousness. She holds the promise of material fulfillment and contentment. She is described as restless, whimsical yet maternal, with her arms raised to bless and to grant her blessings.
Shri is the sacred name of Lakshmi. Shri is written atop most documents and spoken before addressing a god, teacher holy man or any revered individual. The word evokes grace, affluence abundance, auspiciousness and authority. When the word is spoken or written an aura of holiness is established. Whatever follows is imbued with divine blessing. Just as the word "Om" is associated with the mystical side of life, Shri is associated with the material side of existence.
Lakshmi represents the beautiful and bountiful aspect of nature. As Bhoodevi, the earth-goddess, she nurtures life; as Shreedevi, the goddess of fortune, she bestows power, pleasure and prosperity on those who deserve her grace. To realize her, one must respect the laws of life and appreciate the wonders of existence.
Brass statues from India do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.
You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup. If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
Indian brass's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The metal can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine.
If you have any questions concerning your brass statue please email us at email@example.com or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.

Who we are:
Our names are Marie (Carpenter) Fyans and Kristin (Wyand) Franson; we went to high school with Melissa. Melissa Jenkins was tragically taken from us far too soon in life and leaves behind a beautiful, bright, amazing 2-year-old son named Ty, a family who will grieve for her all of their days, and friends who will always miss her smile.
Why are we collecting money:
Knowing that Melissa had friends who loved her all over the country, we wanted an efficient and secure way for those of us that love her, but are no longer local, to be able to donate for the benefit of her son, Ty. To accomplish this, we have joined forces with the Melissa Jenkins Memorial Trust. The trust has been established by the St. Johnsbury Academy, where Melissa worked, and Maple Grove Farms, where her mother works. This and the St. Johnsbury Academy (see information below) are the ONLY two online donation sites that link directly to this trust.
Where does the money go?
All donations, minus a 5% processing fee that the gofundme website charges, will go directly to the Melissa Jenkins Memorial Trust held at Passumpsic Savings Bank in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. We hope that you will take a moment and make a donation to benefit Ty as he navigates the rest of his life in the care of family, but without his loving mother.
Other ways to donate:
Checks can be mailed to:

A word from Union Oyster House
The Union Oyster House, located on the Freedom Trail, near Faneuil Hall, enjoys the unique distinction of being America's oldest restaurant. The Boston fixture, housed in a building dating back to pre-revolutionary days, started serving food in 1826 and has continued ever since with the stalls and oyster bar, where Daniel Webster was a constant customer, in their original positions.Continued

- Almost badOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014As we were walking into the restaurant, we were struggling pushing in our stroller and a patron said this restaurant "wasn't for babies." She was unbelievably rude and clearly unhappy with her life, but the staff quickly turned our near bad experience at this restaurant into one of the highlights of our trip to Boston. The world if full of people who take time to complain about what they think is wrong with this or that, but I'd like to thank the staff here for the great dining experience and great food and recommendations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Boston TraditionChictrixDined on 9/18/20143 girls in town for conference, last minute reserv, not rushed, got time to catch up & service & food (free cornbread!) impeccable. Loved it! Had chowder, clams, salad, Seafood New urg great sauce, BUT scallops to die for!!! Loved it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Historic Restaurant, Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/18/2014Union Oyster House is a must when visiting Boston, we had a great experience, we missed our reservation by half an hour, and they managed to find us a seat in a full packed restaurant. Amazing service, great food, the Clam Chowder was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wouldn't go backOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014Went for dinner at the Union, because that seems to be what one does in Boston. It was not worth it. The food was middle of the road at best, and overpriced. The building in interesting because of its age, but it has been crammed with tables and has lost a lot of its potential ambience. If you want good seafood, there are many other choices in town. Unfortunately the Union is relying on its age and location to draw in the tourist crowd...and then proceeds to disappoint with indifferently prepared $30 mains.
- Quaint spot, pretty good food!LisaTVIPDined on 9/17/2014My mother, visiting from out of town, really wanted to go to Union Oyster House. We went at 4:30 PM, before she caught her plane home, and had a lovely time. It was quiet, and we quickly received warm cornbread from our friendly waitress. Our Seafood Newburgh was tasty, as was our Cesear Salad.
- Does the Louvre have any good art?OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/15/2014If you answered yes likely you will be impressed with the country's most historic seafood restaurant dishing out fresh catches prepared the most mouth watering way possible. If it's good enough for JFK and Daniel Webster and almost 200 years of satisfied customers, you might also find thus a safe bet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OkMidWestMikeDined on 9/14/2014The food was average. Wanted our friend to get a bit of historical perspective while in Boston. The food was ok, it was average, nothing special, nothing to go out of the way for: bummer
- Great food, bad serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/14/2014Beutiful place, great lobster, but the service ver y slow and unfrendlySpecial Features:
- Terrible service.HorrorVIPDined on 9/13/2014The service was horrible! Our server took our order then after 20 minutes came back with a luke warm oyster appetizer and a room tempature beer. I was not happy at all because it was my mom's first time there with pouring rain outside. We waited for another 15 minutes then the waitress came with 1 entree. We had both ordered the Union special lobster! The waitress giggles and pretty much told us she had mistaken that we wanted to share 1 entree.. WTF?! Assume?? She then said if we wanted the other order it'll take another 20 minutes. That was it... Our evening ruin! Nothing was done for us. No manager came by, nothing!! They don't care. They know tourist will keep coming and they can charge $47 for lobster that didn't taste that good!!!!!
- Good Food- Can be EXTREMELY NoisyJimCDined on 9/13/20144 of us had dinner there. It's a large and rambling restaurant. Unlucky us-we got seated in an area where they seemed to locate only loud mouthed groups. It totally ruined our dinner. Most all the loudmouths didn't show up until after we were seated as were waiting for drinks. As we were on our way out, we noticed that other sections of the place were rather quiet, as are we. When we walked through to be seated, we noticed a lot of empty tables in the quieter areas. Insist on seating away from any loud groups. I had the Lobster Casseroe.While it had ample lobster, it was really top heavy with bread crumbs, which soaked up all the sauce in the dish making it very dry.My wife and other friend ordered fin fish which they thought was great.
- Not That Great!!pshartDined on 9/13/2014The service was poor. Our food was cold and had to be reheated. We would not go back there again. We had to wait forever for our drinks and our food. We expected much better than we received. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone else. Very disappointed!!
- Oysters 4 YouDeliciousDined on 9/13/2014Consistently good, great service, freshest oysters. The chef accommodated our request for Fried Haddock vise baked, which was nice. The backed lobster was juicy and not loaded with a lot of breading. Tried the cheeseburger soup for something different and it was delicious. Cheese soup with ground beef and a hint of pickle and spices. I've been coming here with family and friends for over 40 years and not once did I have an issue with the food or service. It kept its rustic charm and commitment to quality.Special Features:
- Enjoy the historyHistoricalfoodfanDined on 9/13/2014A great historic spot. Make sure you get a reservation and ask for a booth upstairs to really enjoy the historic ambiance. Lighting is also "historic" so you may have to use your cell phone as a reading light. Apart from that a fun place with good seafood. The fish and chips are great. If you are on a budget the lunch menu offers almost all of the dinner items but for less cost. Booths are small -part of the historic charm -so might not be a good seating choice for large people. Four smallish people were a pretty cozy fit.Special Features:
- Tourist trapJannieVIPDined on 9/12/2014Very disappointing. Lobster roll Hardly any lobster. Frozen french fried. High prices. Very disappointingSpecial Features:
- Great find!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/8/2014Historic site! Found this restaurant in the hotel magazine. Excellent seafood; food was fresh and portions are appropriately priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good as a historical siteDiner1Dined on 9/8/2014I feel the management at union oyster house are riding on the historical history of the place to draw customers. The food and presentation was poor. Either refine the current menu. It truly turn it into a tourist site and offer foods found during the period and dress your wait staff accordingly.Special Features:
- Historic Restaurant, Mediocre FoodLove2DineOutDined on 9/8/2014We went to Boston to celebrate my son's 21st birthday. Union Oyster House was on the list of places we wanted to eat. We had seen favorable reviews plus it's a historic landmark. The building and restaurant are really quite neat and the history is great. Their food is clearly not their claim to fame. It was fine, nothing was bad exactly, but nothing was great either. We had several of the fresh fish items, clam and fish chowder, and one of their specialties. All of it was just okay, and they are pricey, so I expected it to be really good seafood. Aside from that, it takes an act of congress to ever get refills on water or drinks. Go for a tour, but I wouldn't recommend dining there.
- Icon, go!liz33VIPDined on 9/7/2014Food was great. Their clams and oysters were very fresh, and their shuckers know how to do it right. Even found a pearl! Service was a little slow, so if you're starving, have a little something before you go. Shame on them for using magenta colored paper napkins! If you have to dab at a spot on your shirt, the color runs, not good. Would definitely go back, but ask for a cloth napkin. Would be a deal breaker for me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Union Oyster HouseBostongirlVIPDined on 9/6/2014This was our first time here. Overall the food was good but not great. The clam chowder had great flavor but not a lot in it. The lobster roll was probably the most lackluster lobster roll I've ever had. It actually tasted very bland, like nothing, and the amount of lobster was very skimpy for a $23 sandwich. Also, the quality of the what little lobster was inside was not the best. However, the fish and chips and fried fish platter were good. The drinks and beer were cool, not cold. Our waitress was excellent.
- Don't do itLmum27Dined on 9/5/2014Super touristy and food was obscenely overpriced for the below diner quality food.
- jojoDined on 9/4/2014We are from Germany und found this place on the internet. It was also recommended in several travelguids because of its outstanding food and ambience. Reservation was easy. Thank you for that great evening my friend and I had in your restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- History surrounds youww13Dined on 9/1/2014Authentic old Boston charm in the building and furnishings, but history alone wouldn't have kept the doors open this many years if they weren't serving some really great meals, as well. I had the lazy man's lobster, which is similar to lobster pie. More than 4 lobster claws, several knuckle pieces and a couple pieces of lobster tail in a bread crumb topped casserole. Simply delicious! My husband had the bouillabaisse. He thought half a lobster, in the shell, made it more difficult to eat than he would have liked, but he enthusiastically ate every bite! Only fair service. I was freezing, and asked if they could turn down the ceiling fan. It took a long time to get it done. Staff wasn't that friendly or efficient, but the food was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OysterBanjoVIPDined on 9/1/2014Great time, had sampler of oysters, then had a medium sweet lobster. Wife had the clams, we truly enjoyed the outing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YUMMY ChowdaDavidDined on 9/1/2014This was I think the best Chowda in Boston. Great Oysters as well. We had such a kind nice waitress and the front seating staff was mind as wellSpecial Features:
- OverpricedAndyDined on 9/1/2014The food was mediocre at best. Outrageously priced for the type of food served. Wait staff seemed inconvenienced. I would not go back nor recommend this place to anyone.
- Tourist AttractionBedaiusDined on 9/1/2014This place is kind of fun, however food quality quality more of a better diner. It's a fun place, however you find better sea food in other places. If you accept this, you will have fun with friends.Special Features:
- Likes2EatDined on 8/31/2014Had a fantastic dinner during our weekend trip to Boston. Forgot the name of our waitress, but she was wonderful: blond woman with a very heavy Bean Town accent. She made the evening even better.Special Features:
- as expectedaanycVIPDined on 8/31/2014based on reading previous reviews, we knew going in this would be a crowded touristy place with average service, so that was accurate. The roasted and fried oysters were very good, but the fish dishes I would avoid. Didn't try the lobster. We waited so long for beers to be delivered that we never bothered to order a second round. And it took at least 15 minutes for someone to pick up our credit card to pay our bill.Special Features:
- Classic BostonFood4meDined on 8/30/2014Great eating establishment to experience Boston history. Food was very good, but I was very disappointed they ran out of steamers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Boston tripBCtil16visitorDined on 8/30/2014Food was great, service terrific, ambiance interesting!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly SatisfiedJlavsDined on 8/30/2014I've lived in MA all my life but had never been to the Union Oyster House (though I knew about it). I wanted to bring family from the Midwest there. I had to change our reservation 3 different times (over Labor Day weekend nonetheless) and they were able to accommodate each time. I was worried that the food might be lacking since it's such a tourist-y spot and occasionally the food is sacrificed over gimmicks, but I was very pleased with my meal, as was everyone else I was dining with. The prices are high, but I suppose that's to be expected at a popular tourist restaurant in the middle of the city. The downstairs has a neat feel and ambiance, but the dining room upstairs where we ate had less. Overall I was quite happy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I felt young!JannieDined on 8/29/2014Well, if you want history, the Union Oyster House is the place! It is steeped in Colonial history, which is very cool. We chose to have lunch during Dine Out Boston week, but after looking at the special menu for that, we decided to order off the regular menu. The special menu looked good, but you had to order an app, an entree and a dessert. We didn't want that much food for lunch. So we went with lighter fare; which was very reasonably priced anyway. The cornbread was absolutely delicious as was hubby's clam chowder. His baked fish was very good, but the sides were pretty bland. I had the popular mini-cakes...one lobster, one crab and one fish. They were outstanding, but again the sides were less than inspired.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- authenticeggsDined on 8/27/2014good food and great servers Special beers too! The servers all have thick Boston accents so you know you are in the oldest restaurant in BostonSpecial Features:
- Old CharmTaprooterDined on 8/27/2014Takes you back in time a little. We had excellent service and the food was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Of historical note onlyCalalilyufDined on 8/25/2014The food would be good except for its price and service that accompanied it. Not worth it. Also be prepared to bring your own water bottle because you'd die of thirst before getting a refill.
- HistoricElainaDined on 8/24/2014The restaurant is pretty cool. Be prepared to wait for your table because it's very a busy place filled with a lot of tourists.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go for the history not the foodFoodProfDined on 8/24/2014A spot with lots of history (both the building and famous past diners) and a sizable seafood menu but only ho-hum service and fair food (not worth the price). It is a must visit spot for history buffs but that can be done over drinks... leave the dining for somewhere else.I would recommend this to a friend.
- overpriced and anydisappointingSethMDined on 8/24/2014The legend of the rude and uncaring Boston waitress is not suited to legendary Oldest Restaurant in America where lunch is $30-40/person. But when the management shares these traits, it is inexcusable. If you must visit the Union Oyster House, buy a drink at the bar, or an overpriced hamburger, and save you money to spend at one of Boston's truly fine eating establishments. This is not one of those. Our waitress couldn't be bothered to refill the pepper mill so I could have cracked pepper on my $8 Cæsar Salad. The mussels came to the table cold, and the Indian pudding a LA mode was served up a sloppy mess in a cup, instead of a bowl. Discussing it with the manager as we left, he made excuses, or said "that's how we do it." AVOID THIS PLACE
- Always lots of funWestonerVIPDined on 8/23/2014I try to hit the Union Oyster House every time I'm in Boston. Not only does it have great food, but the historical significance is important. To be in a restaurant that many of our founding fathers ate at, is pretty cool. We started out with a dozen oysters and cherrystones washed down with a couple bloody marys. We made our way upstairs for lunch and had their mixed seafood grill. Very nice indeed. I've been coming here for 25+ years and the chowder is still the best. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- OTTIMODavide1976MilanoDined on 8/22/2014Ristorante antico ma sistemato ottimamente, con un'atmosfera antica e caratteristica della Boston di altri tempi; cibo ottimo, cucinato benissimo e con una buona collezione di birre. Da provare assolutamente: non rimarrete delusi.Special Features:

During that process it became clear to us that something was missing in our industry, a niche that was not being fulfilled...a bridge between the session world and the salon world, and a place for direct, "no fluff", non-brand focused education. We founded MAINENTRANCE Artists with the goal of helping the individual artist and the manufacturer. It is so rewarding to see the growth in the artists that have participated in our Artist Development Workshops! Our challenge has been helping manufacturer's understand that we are here to help strengthen their teams, not turn them in another direction.
This is your third year being nominated at NAHA, which is a huge achievement. What did you take away from past years? How did your experiences at the previous NAHA Awards strategically and creatively influence the work you submitted this year?
ME: We've realized that the most important rule in submitting work is to maintain your artistic integrity. We actually try not to think about what the judges might like or dislike....instead we submit work we are inspired by, that is relevant to movements in the fashion industry. We have found that this approach works best for us. If we satisfy our vision and creativity then we maintain that artistic integrity and can be proud of our work, regardless of competition outcomes.
Who has been your greatest professional influence?
DJR: I don't have a "greatest" because artistry at that level cannot be measured, but Eugene Souleiman and Anthony Mascolo rank high.
BB: It is impossible for me to rank them....Annie Humphreys, Pat Mascolo, and Kim Martin.
What is your typical day like?
ME: Great question! Honestly, each day is so different for us, we are immersed in every part of our business. So a typical day could be anything from taking private appointment clients, to facilitating a workshop in our space, to photography and post-production, to session hair on set at Milk Studios, to beauty production for an industry client. That is the most exciting thing about our business structure...stagnation is impossible!
Much of your education focuses on trend. How do you keep ahead of current movements and how to you select which trends to teach, which will be most viable?
ME: Keeping up with current movements and influences is a constant for us, we are blessed to be in New York and on the scene constantly. We also work with a collective of Trend Forecaster's to simmer down the trends into 4 key ideals each season. We feel it's important to teach all of the trends because each trend can be interpreted commercially, editorially, or radically.
