Best Ultrabook Laptops As A Tablet Alternative
The most successful gadget of the past two years is the iPad and the slate tablet concept in general. It's the kind of concept people want when they see it, but haven't asked for it before.
Slate tablets are not just tablet PCs without a keyboard. In layman's terms they're more like giant smartphones, as the components inside are borrowed from cellphones, not computers. But thanks to the increased available space performance is higher.
Slate tablets are the proud child of Apple, the company who build the iPad and marketed it as a post-PC era device. This of course made PC makers concerned; as such that Intel founded this year a 300 million dollars initiative towards another concept, the ultrabook.
In this case the ultrabook is nothing more than a Windows laptop, very slim and fast at the same time, but not a new concept, as Apple was once again the one to build the MacBook Air a few years ago, an ultraslim laptop which can fit into a Manila envelope.
This year's ultrabooks are meant to fight the slate tablet and Apple's MacBook Air at the same time. They're cheaper than the latter and provide more functionality than the former while delivering the same kind of performance. Let's analyze this fight below:
What do ultrabooks have and tablets don't
Even if for some consumers slate tablets offer everything they've ever wanted, the truth is that an ultrabook is a more versatile computer. You can do everything you can do on a tablet and on a desktop with an ultrabook without taking too much impact in terms of added weight (ultrabooks tend to be twice the weight of tablets, or around one pound heavier).
With an ultrabook you can do more than content consumption: you can create, and that's something people don't forget easily, especially when it comes to business users.
Don't forget the keyboard, one of the most important parts in the productivity equation. While teenagers are pretty used to virtual keyboards, they can't type as fast as a touch typist. This is probably the biggest difference that will ensure tablets won't completely take over consumer preferences.
Another advantage for ultrabooks, worth mentioning, refers to connectivity options, as you get more ports, faster ones and generally more options of interconnectivity. In a word, ultrabooks are more 'complete', if you allow me the comparison.
What do tablets have and ultrabooks don't
Now that we've seen where ultrabook prevail, let's take a look at slate tablets too and try and understand what they're so successful. First and foremost there's the mobility factor, as tablets are way more portable and easier to carry around thanks to their slim profile and light footprint.
Add the 10+ hours of battery life for most models and you'll see they're the perfect device for road warriors. Another thing that people like about tablets is performance, as everything is optimized for low consumption, so the general feeling is snappiness, not sluggishness you get from a similarly priced computer.
One of the disadvantages of tablets turned out to be actually an advantage: small screen with low resolution has pushed developers to customize apps for the available space. That's why using a tablet feels more optimized than when using a normal computer.
And lastly there's the price issue: a high end ultrabook costs seriously over 1000 bucks, going as high as 1500 in some cases (MacBook Air for example), while a good tablet can be purchased for 400-500 dollars.
Who will win?
This is the simple question that doesn't have a simple answer. Personally I believe in the next couple of years ultrabooks and tablets will see a coexistence where consumers decide what to get based on their needs.
Nobody knows what will happen in the long term, where possibly other computer concepts will make it to market.

The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.
He that flatters you more than you desire either has deceived you or wishes to deceive.
The battery of flattery received and enjoyed as lottery by a man from the coterie just flattens his growth inconspicuously but consistently.

Survivors of Hodgkin Lymphoma May Face Increased Risk of Stroke
Adapted from the NCI Cancer Bulletin.
Patients who receive radiation therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma may be at increased risk of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), also called a "mini stroke," later in life, according to a report in the July 1, 2009, Journal of the National Cancer Institute (see the journal abstract). The risk is primarily associated with radiation to the neck and chest area, and it remains elevated for years after treatment.
The researchers, led by Dr. Flora E. van Leeuwen of the Netherlands Cancer Institute, tracked 2,201 survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma who were treated before the age of 51 between 1965 and 1995. At a median follow-up of almost 18 years, 96 survivors developed a stroke or TIA. The incidence of stroke among the survivors was 2.2 times that of the general population, while the incidence of TIA was 3.1 times that of the general population.
Overall, these events occurred at a relatively young age (the median age was 52 years, with a range from 24 to 80 years). For young survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma who are at especially increased risk of stroke and TIA, physicians should consider strategies to reduce the risk, such as treatment of hypertension and certain lifestyle changes, the researchers said.
The findings add to the overwhelming evidence that using radiation therapy in Hodgkin lymphoma is "shortsighted," according to an accompanying editorial by Dr. Dan Longo of the National Institute on Aging. Even though treatments for this disease have included reduced doses of radiation since 1995, there is no evidence yet that this translates into fewer late effects for survivors, he cautioned.
"Unfortunately, given the lifelong increased risks of late effects that have been documented from the use of radiation therapy, we simply cannot keep exposing patients to risk without clear benefit while we wait for safety data to be produced," Dr. Longo added.

This is not so much a critique post as it is a conformation of how absurd the standards of art in the comic book industry have become.
I traveled to San Diego Comic Con this year and participated in the portfolio reviews they where holding from Thursday to Sunday. Although I will admit I am not the best artist in the world, I really wanted to try and show them that comic book art could be done in a realistic manor while still keeping the superhuman aesthetics of the art form.
This Batwoman piece was the work that I gained the most flack for from all the companies because the anatomy was as they quoted 'not industry standard.' At one company (which I shall choose to not name) I was given a full critique on the anatomical incorrections as the following.
"Her breasts are much too small and do not have the lift that superhero women should have. Her jawline is fat and her neck much too long. The style of her hair is clunky and does not flow in a sense that a super human would. Her hips, waist and thighs are too big and she honestly looks fat. No one is going to want to read a comic with a fat female protagonist. I honestly recommend looking at issues of Sport's Illustrated to get the right anatomy. Those women are the peak of human perfection, and that is what we want in this industry."
Peak of human perfection? I don't know about you, but I don't see living on salad and dietary pills as perfection.
I would like to say this was just the opinion of one editor from one company, but I found similar opinions at almost every review I went to. By the end I was pretty upset, having been following this blog for very long and trying hard to make my anatomy believable and human. But this is not something the comic book industry seems to want, and it's something that I thought everyone deserved to be informed on.
Again, this is not to bring attention to me and my own art, but rather inform the community of just what their artistic standards are, and why so many what we deem 'bad artists' are able to get full careers working for these companies.
Your Batwoman pic is awesome, and it's not like you didn't give her curves or anything and her breasts aren't small. What do they think swimsuit models look like in a costume anyway? And honestly, your piece is a lot closer to that SI cover than a lot of the "industry standard" art, but it is interesting that they consider Sports Illustrated swimsuit models as what superheroines should look like (even though they don't end up looking like SI swimsuit models either.)
It doesn't surprise me though, but it's sad that that is considered the "peak of human perfection" though. I think they're confusing "what I find attractive in women" and "a woman at the peak of athletic perfection" much less "human perfection."
(As a note, I don't think we should assume that professional models necessarily exist on diet pills and salads, nor that thin people are necessarily unhealthily starving themselves. Also, SI images probably are quite touched up too.)
I rolled my eyes at the critique so hard that they erupted out the back of my head and flew into outer space. Reblogging this angrily from the afterlife (it sucks, btw).

KaliO said:
Twinkie, Deconstructed is the story of author Steve Ettlinger's "journey to discover how the ingredients found in processed foods are grown, mined (yes, mined), and manipulated into what America eats." Yummy. Most Americans eat processed foods every day, and sure those foods are delicious (Cheetos, anyone?) but have you ever taken a moment to consider what exactly makes that delightful day-glo orange Cheeto color? More to the point, what is Polysorbate 60? Why is bleach listed as an ingredient in Twinkies? In Twinkie, Deconstructed Ettlinger investigates the origins and uses of every ingredient listed on a Twinkie wrapper. You'll be shocked, bewildered, and yes, grossed out, and you'll definitely think twice the next time you walk past that vending machine in the break room, but you'll also be the best-educated junk food junkie in town. Or you'll just start living off broccoli. Eat-while-you-read: Twinkies—the homemade organic version (the recipe is included in the book).

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
Monday marks the 13th year the University of Toledo has held a unity celebration in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The mayor and president of the Toledo area NAACP attended the annual event.
The event coordinator estimates about 1,700 people went to UT to remember the work of MLK. People were asked to bring a canned good to the event, which was held at Savage Hall.
Both D. Michael Collins and the new president for the Toledo branch of the NAACP, Ray Wood, spoke about creating unity locally. Both leaders stressed the importance of creating a strong community and bringing awareness to light.
"The biggest thing we do is we unify our neighborhoods, and we understand that the foundations of diversity are what makes us a stronger nation, a stronger community, and a stronger body of people," said Collins, who attended the unity celebration for the first time as mayor of Toledo.
"There's a lot of things that haven't changed. There are steps that we have taken backward. I think that when the University of Toledo puts on events and functions like this, it keeps it in everyone's awareness that there is still work to do," said Wood.
It has been more than 50 years since MLK gave his famous "I have a dream" speech.

88th International Instructors Course - Oostende-Belgium November 22nd-24th, 2013
ITF-Belgium hosted the 88th International Instructors Course with the ITF Technical Committee, GM Hector Marano, GM Willem Jacob Bos and GM Kim Ung Lan.
It was the 3rd time an IIC was held in Belgium, the first time in Oostende, the biggest town at the belgian coast.
Registration started on Thursday November 21st. This was necessary, since there were 236 participants coming from 21 different countries. Amongst them 2 GrandMasters, GM Rolf Becking from Germany & GM Orello Ellis (UK), and 19 Masters.
On Friday and Saturday the course was organised in the "Royal Stables", a building with a history. It was built by a norvegian architect on demand of King Leopold II. Later it was the first basketbal arena used by the club of Oostende, playing in the First League.
Because of the big amount of participants the Technical Committee decided to have two "separate" IIC's, one for I° to III° degree, one for IV°degree and up. This was nice since this way all participants had the opportunity to see their whole program.
Friday evening 143 persons participated at the banquet.
On Saturday afternoon, after the classes of that day, there was the closing ceremony. Master Frank Vanberghen presented the GrandMasters paintings he had made especially for them. Also Master Christa Wintzer, 8th degree, was honoured. At the age of 70 she decided this was her last IIC.
Saturday evening at the top floor, the 9th floor, of hotel Ravelingen the organizers invited all GrandMasters and Masters for a nice dinner.
Sunday morning the venue was in Ravelingen, where most of the participants were staying. It was reserved for the Kids Development Program, conducted by Master Donato Nardizzi.
Meanwhile in the meeting rooms on the 4th floor there were a lot of gradings going on.
It was really an honour for the organizing committee to welcome all the participants to Oostende.

We are sad to announce the passing of one of the original Taekwon-Do pioneers, described by General Choi in the early years as his "right hand man". Grandmaster Nam Tae Hi is known as the father of Taekwon-Do in Vietnam as he lead the first group of Instructors to teach Taekwon-Do there. Grandmaster Nam was chosen by General Choi to lead the 29th Infantry "Fist" Division, where Taekwon-Do developed into maturity. He was also famous for breaking 13 roof tiles with his fist in a demonstration for the Korean President Syng Man Rhee in 1954, which lead to Taekwon-Do being officially adopted by the korean military forces, a key moment in the history of Taekwon-Do. GM Nam was a founding member of the ITF and an ITF VIII Dan by 1973. Without pioneers like Grandmaster Nam Taekwon-Do would not exist as it does today. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge him for his contribution to the development of Taekwon-Do....Read more

To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar was ahead of its time. Audiences can easily take for granted the immense importance of this film. It's a high profile film in the 1990s that features three high profile actors, Patrick Swayze, John Leguizamo, and Wesley Snipes playing gay men. Granted, they spend 99 percent of the movie in drag, but the film is monumental for the community. There's wider acceptance of the gay community, appreciation for the art form of drag due to RuPaul's Drag Race, and education about the clear distinctions between drag performers and trans women. But in 1995 this wasn't the case. Sadly, this film is considered more of a cult classic than a major motion picture. All the same, the film is hilarious, quotable, and politically responsible. Here are some fun facts about the film:

1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse
Hallucinogen Use12 (Tables 5.4 to 5.6)
Overall and in each of the four age categories shown in Table 5.4, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) was the hallucinogen most frequently reported, followed by psilocybin (mushrooms). A total of 16.8 million (8%) had ever tried LSD, and 10.2 million (5%) had ever tried psilocybin in 1997 (OAS, 1998d, Table 78B). Overall, lifetime prevalence rates for other specific hallucinogenic drugs were 3.0% for phencyclidine (PCP), 2.6% for mescaline, 1.5% for ecstasy, and 1.4% for peyote.
Hallucinogen Use, by Age Group, Gender, and Race/Ethnicity. Lifetime hallucinogen use was equally high among the 18 to 25 and 26 to 34 age groups (15%, respectively), and these rates were significantly higher than those reported by the younger and older age groups (7%, respectively). Past year use of hallucinogens was highest among 18 to 25 year olds (7%), followed by 12 to 17 year olds (5%), 26 to 34 year olds (2%), and those 35 or older (0.5%).
Hallucinogen use also varied by gender. Males were about twice as likely as females to report lifetime and past year hallucinogen use, both in the overall sample and among each of the adult age groups. No statistically significant gender differences were found in the 12 to 17 age group.
Race/ethnicity was associated with the prevalence of hallucinogen use. Overall, whites reported higher levels of lifetime hallucinogen use than Hispanics, who reported higher rates than blacks. These same relationships were found within every age group, except that there was no statistically significant differences in the rates reported by Hispanics and blacks in the two older age groups. The largest differences in reported use occurred among 18 to 25 year olds; whites were more than 10 times as likely as blacks to report lifetime hallucinogen use. Overall and among 18 to 25 year olds, past year use was higher among whites and Hispanics than among blacks.
Hallucinogen Use, by Other Demographic Characteristics. There were some differences by population density and region with hallucinogen use. Overall, past year hallucinogen use was higher among respondents in small metropolitan areas than among those in large metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas and among residents of the West than among those in all other regions.
Adult education and employment were generally associated with hallucinogen use. Among 18 to 25 year olds, college graduates were least likely to have used hallucinogens in the past year. When examining the general surveyed population aged 18 or older by employment status, the population in the "other" employment category was the least likely to have used hallucinogens in their lifetime and in the past year.
12 Additional information on the use of LSD and PCP is provided in separate sections, following this general discussion on hallucinogens.

Press Release
AoA Provides Disaster Relief To Older Victims Of Flooding In
Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary
for Aging, Josefina G. Carbonell, recently awarded $20,000 to
the Virginia Department for the Aging for a flooding disaster
that occurred in Southwest Virginia in mid-November, 2003.
The areas hardest hit were Tazewell and Buchanan counties and the isolated
areas of Russell and Dickenson. At least 360 homes and two businesses were
damaged or destroyed. 126 older residents needed temporary shelter, counseling
and assistance."
AoA disaster relief funds are needed to provide critical disaster
relief services and advocacy for older victims," said Josefina
G. Carbonell. "Many seniors living in the Commonwealth
of Virginia were devastated by the severe storms and flooding
that occurred on November 18-19. AoA's award of these funds
will help the Virginia Department for the Aging increase their
supportive services to older Virginians who need assistance in
rebuilding their lives," said Carbonell.
The Virginia Department for the Aging will use these funds to reimburse the
Appalachian Agency for Senior Citizens who are helping older residents restore
their lives. The Area Agency has spent many extra hours assessing the damage,
counseling and helping older persons complete the paperwork for financial assistance,
and referring people to appropriate agencies. Many hours have been spent helping
people return to their own home or a new housing arrangement."
We know that seniors often take a bit longer to recover from disasters of this
magnitude, and we want to be able to provide needed assistance to help them
get back on their feet. Our funding fills in for services and activities that
older people need that are not provided through other emergency resources," Carbonell
added. For additional information on AoA's national disaster preparedness
and response activities, please contact Irma Tetzloff at (202) 357-3525.

The new Le Bec Fin
The website isn't operational yet so I was wondering whether anyone had any details on the $150 five course prix fixe menu. Thanks!
Michael Klein has a link to the new menu here...
re: Philly Ray
Thanks very much!
re: deprofundis
Went the first weekend after the reopening for dinner and loved it. The room, service and food are much improved -- reminded me a bit of Per Se, but without the view. It will set you back at least 500 per couple for dinner though; order a few decent bottles of wine and you're getting close to a grand. I wonder how they are doing from a numbers standpoint; always seems to be plenty of available seats at opentable.com.
re: tbabes
According to Eater Philly this week: "Reservations are already almost impossible to score."
I don't know, but we went to opening night (review posted on y), which was sold out.
re: ftarazu
I just checked Open Table and there are tables for two available for tonight at 9 as well as for various times this week. So much for "impossible".
re: Philly Ray
Whether it is impossible or not, you'd have to be pretty optimistic to make a reservation for 9PM for a restaurant that only serves an 8-course tasting menu (not counting amuse-bouche or mignardises)!
If I remember correctly, we were seated at 7:45 and left around 11. If there were more than 2 of us, and if we were drinking more, I'm sure it would have been longer.
Is Chez Georges serving food yet? I have read it is open, but I'm not sure if that is just for drinks or the second kitchen is open for business.
re: ftarazu
Chez Georges seems like it would be more interesting than lunch, since the later appears to be a very similar just trimmed down dinner menu. Having been to dinner once, and given the very high price, I'm not that eager to go back for dinner any time soon.
re: ftarazu
I wasn't debating who would want to eat at that time, I was countering the argument that reservations are impossible to get. Apparently, they are not. The reservations I saw for this week were for as early as 6:30.
re: Philly Ray
No ones debating dude.
re: Philly Ray
Tis summer and the weekend Center City restaurant business is always way down through a few weeks after Labor Day. Tis also 100 degrees this afternoon. I would not project too much from tables being available today.
re: Hungryin theBurbs
I think this week.. or the week that includes July 4th is the highest vacation week. Makes sense that the restaurants would be slower. This is a weird year as July 4th fell in the middle of the week.
re: Buckethead
Foobooz just posted a Philly Mag review, for whatever that's worth.
re: Philly Ray
Actually they didn't (I thought they had too, I guess they just wanted the click-through), they posted that you can buy the magazine and read the review now or wait till next week and read it online. I often agree with Trey Popp so I'll definitely read that before deciding. The Fountain is my backup (never been there).
re: Buckethead
We ate there shortly after they reopened and unfortunately I've forgotten some of the details. The menu was very limited -- two choices in each category, one of which was vegetarian. We were able to select a very nice dinner which we enjoyed -- but we would have liked a few more choices. There were some glitches in service -- we received 2 rolls and no more but we noticed that a neighboring table received the same 2 rolls we did, but then different bread later on and maybe a 3rd round of another type (I'm not sure). We'll give it another try later on.
re: Beulah
OK, thanks. So you're saying you're not in any hurry to go back anytime soon?
re: Beulah
That's the same method that both Per Se and the French Laundry use. 2 menus. One regular and one veg.
Considering the time and effort put into every dish, it's completely understandable at those establishments (not to mention the multiple other courses "from the chef"). I haven't eaten at the new LBF, so I can't say if that's the case there.
re: Boognish
Grammercy Tavern in NY is the same way. I really appreciate a restaurant that thinks about the progression of food, and it is different if you are just eating veggies versus including meats.
Thats my biggest complaint about Vedge.. you have to think hard about progression of food. Wish they put more thought into it.
re: cwdonald
Funny, I was looking at their menu yesterday and thinking the same thing. I'd really have no idea what/how to order there. Won't stop me from going, but pre-set menu might be a good idea for them.
re: Buckethead
Trey Popp's review is up now, 3.5 stars out of 4 but it reads like those stars are more aspirational than operational (he describes his first visit having some flaws overcome on his second visit).
I still don't know if I'm sold on going though. "Calf sweetbreads measured up to Bibou's best" is nice but the tab at Bibou for a fantastic and extravagant dinner for two is less than the price of one diner's prix-fixe at LBF, it would be nice if the sweetbreads there did better than measure up against Bibou's.
Well, I did end up trying the new LBF recently and had a fantastic meal. It was better in every respect than my similarly-priced meal at Vetri a few months ago.
Service-wise, at Vetri, we felt rushed, courses were cleared and new ones appeared nearly instantly. At LBF, we were there for 3.5 hours and it felt like they were sad to see us go. At Vetri, our server was like a spokesmodel reading a script. At LBF, the servers seemed excited about the food they were serving and eager for us to try it. The sommelier at LBF personally introduced every glass of wine we drank and was able to answer any question we had, at Vetri I don't recall seeing the sommelier after we said we wanted to do the wine pairings. The whole service experience at LBF was just much more friendly, polished, experienced and professional than at Vetri.
The food was much better, too. My Vetri meal had its highlights, but it also had dishes that really fell flat, and a few that had me scratching my head wondering what I was paying $135 for. There were many more highlights at LBF, fewer misses, and at no point did I think to myself "I could make this at home with 50 cents worth of ingredients". The best thing we had was the dry-aged beef, the potatoes with it were done confit style and the combination of the potatoes and the beef was fantastic. Desserts were spectacular as well. There were two menus to choose from, vegetarian and non-, and the non-veg menu had two choices available for most of the courses, so really there are almost three different menus. I was part of a group so between us I think we had everything on offer that evening (though I didn't get to taste every single dish).
Another stark difference with Vetri was the wine pairings. I can't make an exact comparison because at Vetri they offer two levels of wine pairings, a $90 one and a $135 "Grand Riserva", and at LBF there's only one choice, for $115 or so. I had the $90 one at Vetri and the pairings were OK but there were no moments of revelation when the food and wine together elevated each other so far above what each tasted like on its own that your brain has trouble believing the sensations that are coming from your mouth. My dinner at LBF had one of those, and a few that were nearly as good.
Of course, this was a very expensive experience and I don't see myself spending that kind of money on dinner again for quite a while. But the new LBF makes it tempting.
re: Buckethead
Thanks for the review Buckethead. I have been thinking of trying Le Bec-Fin again and your review certainly made this more likely. Glad you had a special time. Did the $115 wine pairing at LBF include wine with all the courses?
re: Buckethead
Care to share what some of the memorable dishes were? Now that they are not doing the dessert cart, did you have a large choice for dessert? Is there a cheese course in addition to dessert? And I hope they aren't doing the "Craftesque" schtick of sending you home with a muffin at the end of the night.
re: cwdonald
Some of the other memorable dishes included the foie gras (it's easy to like foie of course but this one had an excellent wine pairing), the corn veloute, and the rabbit confit. The dessert was part of the tasting menu, there wasn't a separate dessert menu. They were fantastic desserts so I didn't mind the lack of choices that much. I forgot to mention that there were mignardises as well and a couple of them were stupendous, particularly the little peanut butter cup. There were some very good macarons as well.
There was a cheese course, in my case it was a blue cheese souffle with tomatoes and walnuts, the other one was camembert and some variation on a Fig Newton, they were both very good.
re: Buckethead
one quick Vetri aside, that will hopefully not derail the LBF discussion.
In terms of your comment on rushed service, were you at an early seating or a late seating?
We have been twice, sat late both times (8:30 or so as I recall), and have never felt even 1% rushed. We are glacially slow eaters, and things still moved at a very graceful pace even by our standards. I'm wondering if the earlier seatings tend to move more briskly since they have to turn the tables. I think your point about the feeling that "I could make this at home with 50 cents worth of ingredients" is a very interesting one with some merits (though in all of my efforts with his two cookbooks I have not come as close to a worthy proxy as I might like to tell myself).
re: tfalbo
We were at an early seating at Vetri, and sat down around the same time at LBF. The specific dish that made me think "I could make this at home with 50 cents worth of ingredients" was the onion crepe. I understand that it's one of Marc Vetri's signature dishes but he wasn't in the kitchen cooking it.
re: Buckethead
BH. Excellent initial review and detailed followup responses; thanks very helpful indeed.
re: Bacchus101
No problem! One more thing on the topic of the dessert and cheese carts: I never really liked them at the original LBF anyway. Here's why.
Most mere mortals went to the old LBF a few times in their lives, if they were lucky. The cost made/makes it kind of impossible for a person of average means to eat there with any regularity. So when the dessert cart arrived with 20 or 25 different desserts on it, I didn't feel happiness at all the variety. What I was thinking was "there are probably 3 or 4 desserts on there that I'll like more than the rest, I hope I pick the right ones". I could never try them all and I always wondered if I had missed out on the best ones. Same with the cheese cart. The overwhelming variety of choices just left me thinking that whatever I didn't have must have been better than what I did have.
At the new LBF, they are confident enough to just say "this is the dessert this evening, we think it's good enough that you won't miss the cart". Ours were. And if you still need some variety in your dessert, there is the tray of mignardises.
Craig Laban's review just dropped: 3 bells.
He praises the "technical prowess" and creativity of the food throughout the article with only a couple minor complaints (which he admitted were "rare"), and compliments the service staff on their knowledge and professionalism. His comments about the food and service read like a four-bell review. As far as I can tell his only real problem is that the dining room renovations weren't extreme enough, and the place is expensive (no kidding).
He also ridiculously remarked that you can "eat just as well at a half dozen places" throughout the city at a "fraction of the price". Really Mr. Laban, which places would they be? The current four-bellers are Talula's Table ($100+), Vetri ($155+), The Fountain ($145+), Bibou (cheap, but a cash-only BYOB, and the food - while excellent - is not as intricate or creative as LBF), and Zahav (cheap, but an apples-to-oranges comparison and quite frankly the food doesn't measure up to the rest imho).
re: deprofundis
Around the time he reworked the bell ratings and handed out the new four-bellers, Laban said (somewhere, maybe in his restaurant chat) that he wouldn't give a place that has been open for less than a year 4 bells. That doesn't make much sense to me, if a place is worth 4 bells on day three, why not give it to them? Isn't that *even more impressive* than taking a year or two to reach that level? Is it just plain impossible for a restaurant to be fantastic in every respect before its 1-year birthday? Of course not.
But knowing that he has that criteria, the review makes more sense: since it's been pre-determined by him that it can't be 4 bells, he has to spend most of the review finding piddling excuses to justify rating it 3 bells. At a place that charges as much as LBF does, the difference between 3 and 4 bells could be the difference between them closing and staying open (at least in its current form).
re: Buckethead
I was thinking the exact same thing. I don't agree with the longevity criterion. If the place is operating at a 4-bell level after 3+ visits, is it fair to dock them a bell just because they haven't been open long enough? That could definitely make or break a place that asks $150 for dinner. If there is a chef change or a concept change, he could do a re-review. It's also kind of strange how he criticized LBF for being expensive, but he doesn't level that criticism against Vetri, The Fountain, etc.
re: Buckethead
I think the reason for the one year minimum is to ensure that the restaurant can maintain excellence long term.
re: deprofundis
well, his quote was "One can now eat just as well at half a dozen places, more casually, at a fraction of the price." So it's his opinion that there are six restaurants in the area whose food is just as good; and since he gave LBF 2.0 3 bell, not 4, presumably those 6 (or perhaps 4 + Bibou, Zahav?) can be found on the list of other 3 bell restaurants, while the ones you listed he considers to be better (and probably not less casual, right?)
I've no problem with the idea that a place needs to be around for a year to get a 4th bell, but if that's the only thing holding it back then the review should say so explicitly.
re: Bob Loblaw
He said something along these lines in his restaurant chat this week:
"With all the publicity, though, it is hard to forget that this rendition of Le Bec is essentially a new restaurant. And that I have never, ever given a brand new restaurant a 4-bell rating upon opening. It can take a couple years for a restaurant of this magnitude to hit its stride".
I read that as "I *will* never, ever give a brand new restaurant a 4-bell rating upon opening", which he's said before. That's his choice, but something that should be reiterated in his review of a place that has been open less than a year and gets 3 bells (not just LBF). Most people reading his reviews don't read his restaurant chat and can't really be expected to know "oh, LBF has been open less than a year so 3 bells is the best they can expect". They'll just see the 3 bells and move on.
We had the great good fortune to be treated to LBF's 8 course tasting menu last night. The staff was professional and unobtrusive. My description for the menu is the food equivalent in the art world: advant garde. It felt experimental to me, which works if what you are eating tastes good, but I felt there was something missing from most of the dishes: acid, salt, heat; something. My first course choice was Osetra Caviar, Scrambled Parsnips, White Chocolate. This was just a few bites but after two small tastes I left the rest. It just didn't work for me. The Grilled Octopus was deftly prepared but the accompanying veggies and sauce needed another element to make a Wow. My favorite course was the foie gras with beets, oranges, pickled turnips and hazelnuts. Delicious!
The cobia in the next course was overcooked and pretty plain and uninteresting. Lamb loin was well cooked and I loved the black chickpeas, but the overall dish had an element missing to bring together. I love a good cheese course and thought it was perfect. The final two courses, sorbet and panna cotta were good, but had a lot going on and not "slap your momma" good.
Arrogance alert: I wanted to go back into the kitchen (especially with the octopus dish) and add a hit of acid and a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper or something. This restaurant is definitely not where I would choose to go, even for special occasions, if I happened to be paying. I do wish them well, because we don't have that many choices for very high end dining in Philly.
re: asmith
Interesting post. I had the same impression at my last visit to Lacroix...avant garde food that was missing something. Lots of work went into the fussy presentations, but I wondered if they tasted it. At least Fountain is still maintaining its standards at the upper end of Philly dining.
re: asmith
Thanks for the post. Interesting observations. Agreement here with sal on the Fountain.
Here is my recent review:
Obviously, I disagreed with the recent poster.
Our dinner at LBF this past Tuesday was outstanding in every way. I won't write a detailed review of the menu (I have a long review up on Yelp for a previous visit), but we were a group of 11 and let Chef Abrams choose the courses to match wines for us (15 different wines). He also prepared one off-menu item for us.
Dishes that stick out in my mind included:
~Hudson Valley foie gras, carrot, mache, hazelnuts, Cara Cara orange, brioch (see photo)--Perhaps the nicest piece of seared foie I've ever had
~36 day dry-aged beef sirloin, salsify, red onion marmalade, black garlic jus--the dry-aged flavor was exceptional, paired with a couple of Bordeaux
~I hadn't realized that the Cheese Cart is back (but not the Dessert Cart!). I had an Uplands' Rush Creek Reserved from Wisconsin, with orange puree, which is based on the recipe for one of the world's great cheeses, Vacherin Mont d'Or, and was amazing
I enjoyed the caviar and cobia dishes, although the former would definitely be described as subtle (the caviar comes in a delicate white chocolate "egg shell").
I'm not sure what the dessert was, but it was one of the nicest I've had in Philly over the past year. The mignardises are as good as Per Se's.
Every course was excellent, the service exceptional, particularly the wine service (many of our bottles were decanted, and there was an unending stream of fresh glasses, bread, water...).
The only thing that was missing was a visit to our table by the Chef.
I've seen comments asking "why should I spend $150 at Le Bec, when I can get a tasting menu for $70 at Bibou?", which seems a silly question to me. I've been to LBF twice in the past year, and Bibou seven times, so obviously I love Bibou. But that is like asking which is better? Apples and oranges? I like them both, depending on my mood.
With LBF you are getting much more formal, modern cuisine, in the city's most beautiful and historic dining room, with exceptional service (free valet!), and a great wine list. Is that worth more? Obviously it is. Whether it is preferable or not, is a personal decision.
@PhillyBestBYOB on Twitter
re: PhillyBestBYOB
Being there with you on Tuesday, your beef was the 'calotte' rib cap as well as a chunk of brisket, assuming we got the same thing.
The Rush Creek was based on VMD'Or but not really there. It was my first time with this particular cheese and it showed very well, but texture was nowhere as smooth as VMD'Or.
My only real complaint was why the breads which were brought from the kitchen to replenish our supply were ice cold, both the teeny baguettes and the croissants.
re: Delucacheesemonger
They cannot be keeping bread in the fridge! It speeds staling.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Not reefer cold but colder than room temp.
re: Delucacheesemonger
My bread was warm. What was up with your table?
re: PhillyBestBYOB
How interesting, while the croissants were very well made with butter, they were past cool, guess l sat at the wrong table.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Maybe thats why the chef was fired.... http://philadelphia.foobooz.com/2013/...
re: cwdonald
Wow! Glad we got there while it was wonderful.
Maybe it will be again.
re: cwdonald
re: Delucacheesemonger
Apparently my timing isn't what it used to be. We went to the final night of the Georges Perrier era of LBF (unfortunately, I was a bit young for his opening night), and the opening night of the Walter Abrams era, but appear to have missed his exit by 3 days.
(Seriously, I'm shocked. Must be "creative differences", because his cooking was top notch.)
re: cwdonald
They've obviously been struggling, but unless they have some stud superchef waiting in the wings (not likely), I don't know that this was the right decision.
Abrams is a good chef. His food garnered critical praise from LaBan (who was never going to award them 4 bells no matter what). Most of us on here praised the food, myself included. My one lunch at LBF2.0, a couple months after they opened, showed a lot of potential. Based on recent visits from posters above, it sounds like they've been improving. The place has only been open what, 7 or 8 months? Maybe it was a bad idea to bring a locally unknown chef to town and come out of the gate with a $150 tasting menu. That's not the chef's fault.
Let's not forget that they are also losing their pastry chef (Abrams' fiancee), who by all accounts makes some really first-class desserts.
re: deprofundis
I thought it was an odd move, based on the positive reviews here.
re: asmith
yes and your review pointed to real problems with how the dishes were conceived and executed
re: cwdonald
Wow. Has to be bad news, Reviews had been pretty positive.
re: sal_acid
This from Eater...http://philly.eater.com/archives/2013...
I'm not sure Jen Carroll was such a smash at The Ritz, but she certainly is Philly.
If they swing away from a French type fine dining chef it would seem to require a rebrand and a renovation. That would be a big expense. And the money paid for LBF, was for LBF, not just any old storefront restaurant. Cheaper to shutter it perhaps.
re: Beulah
I h ave a reservation for March. Should I cancel????
re: lenorel57
Wait and see what happens...
re: PhillyBestBYOB
Who'sJohn Shields?? I'm from ny

Broken Arrow And Poison Revolver Wander Alone Throught The Californian Desert... All Hope Of Finding The Fabulous KillJoys Is Lost... Or Is It?
Broken Arrow and Poison Revolver wanderded through the desert that once was sunny, lively,
happy, california. The sun was hot and their mouths were dry as dust. Neither of them had
eaten in days. Poison looked up at the sky, "Oi Arrow, it looks like acid rain!" she said,
in a annoyed tone. "Oh great!" Arrow replied sarcasticly, "we better set up camp then?".
The two killjoys dropped their bags, un-zipped one, and pulled out a tent. It was a gift
from some friends they had met a while ago, but were sperated with. So they began to set
up the specialy glazed tent, that was designed to withstand almost anything. "Pass the
cantien" Poison said, nudging arrow. "Sure" said arrow as she began tipping out her satchel
to reveal its contence: a partly ripped map of the zones, 2 extra scarfs, the cantien, a
pen knife, 2 ray guns, one blakc and white checkered, and one bright yellow with red "x"'s
and lastly a photo. The photo was of 6 figures, all smiling brightly as if they hadn't a
care in the world. 2 of the figures were the girls, Poison and Arrow, the other 4 figures
were boys. Arrow picked up the photo, the cantien and sighed. "Whats up?" Poison asked,
looking concerned. "Its just that... I'm begining to think we won't see them again, I mean,
its allready been 3 months..." Arrow replied, gazing at the photo, fondly. "shh!" said
Poison, wrapping her arms around Arrow, "Of corse we will see them! We just need to have
faith, and keep running" "Okay... But can we send out one more message once the tents up?"
Arrow said, looking hopeful. "Sure" Poison, picking up tent poles.
Later, in the tent, Posion picked up the radio-camera and perched it on a bag. "Ready?"
she asked, looking nudging Arrow "Fuckin' ready!" Arrow replied, laughing. "3... 2... 1..."
Poison, mumbled, pressing a button on the camera, to start the transmittion. "Howdy!" Arrow
said gleefully to the camera "It's Broken Arrow and Poison Revolver here! Reporting from
zone 6! If anyone's out there, pleaaasee say! We are running despratly low on supplies! And
could do with some company! So, I repeat, zone 6, please reply if you hear this, NIGHT
BIAATCHES" Arrow said, before ending the transmittion. "Okay, we need some sleep" Poison
said. "We sure do... But can I leave the radio tuned in, just in case?" Arrow replied.
"Sure, but night, honey" Poison said to her sister, walking into the bedding area of the

A former Iranian interior minister from the government of President Mohammad Khatami suggested in a talk to a group of student activists that Iran put the nuclear issue to a referendum, according to a report in BBC's Persian service. According to an online translation, Abdollah Nuri told the students that "a decision must be based on general consent" — a contention he supported with the Islamic Republic's constitution. Though Iran's nuclear program has in the past gotten widespread public support, according to unreliable polling, respondents to a recent online survey on Iran's state-run news site overwhelming supported nuclear concessions in order to strike a deal with the West (until the poll was taken down).

Dionne Warwick on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice for The Hunger Project
We are thrilled to announce that Dionne Warwick will be on the upcoming season (beginning March 6) of NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice" on behalf of The Hunger Project!
Donald Trump returns with an all-new celebrity lineup of candidates. In addition to Dionne, the season will feature: David Cassidy, La Toya Jackson, NeNe Leakes, Meat Loaf, Jose Canseco, Richard Hatch, Gary Busey, Lil Jon, Mark McGrath, Hope Dworacyk, Marlee Matlin, John Rich, Lisa Rinna, Niki Taylor and Star Jones. This is the fourth installment of "The Celebrity Apprentice" and the 11th season of the series.
Contestants will not be vying for a job with Donald Trump; instead, the business-savvy celebrity contestants will be working towards a greater goal as they raise money for their various charities throughout the season. Not only will the final winner be crowned The Celebrity Apprentice, but he or she will also have the honor of delivering a $250,000 bonus check to their designated charity.
All of the celebrities will be competing in business-driven tasks around New York City, using their fame along with their business acumen to win challenges, while ultimately raising money and awareness for their respective causes.
Just as in the regular "Apprentice," the celebrities will be subjected to long hours, grueling mental challenges, personality clashes, and intense scrutiny — all without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers, and personal assistants.
Certain tasks encourage the contestants to reach out to their network of celebrity contacts for assistance or donations — making for entertaining surprise visits by some of the world's biggest stars along the way.
All of the tasks will be judged by Trump and his advisers in the Boardroom. Returning to the Boardroom are Trump's children (and colleagues) Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., alongside longtime Trump Organization employee and "Apprentice" advisor George Ross.
Dionne also recently worked with The Hunger Project to hold a gala benefit concert in London this past January in honor of her 70th birthday and in support of The Hunger Project (read more about the concert, which took place on World Hunger Day).

Movie Review: 'Elysium'
Starring Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley
Neill Blomkamp made everyone take notice with District 9. Sadly, I didn't go see the movie until about 2 months into its release. At first glance, at least for me, it didn't seem like anything really worthwhile and the trailers seem to tout more of the fact that Peter Jackson was a producer on the movie. But District 9 was deceptively simple and had quite a bit to say and all of it pretty fascinating. Needless to say I really liked the movie and so did a lot of other people as it was nominated for 4 Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay). So how in the world would Blomkamp follow up a film that while it takes some directors years to achieve, he did it his first time out? Well you take your time and you follow it up with an action movie of course.
Elysium, on the surface, looks like it has a lot to say, but in reality it doesn't. But don't worry, that's not a bad thing. Elysium is straight forward in its message, which is actually quite refreshing. And while the movie may have been a better achievement had Blomkamp decided to dig a little deeper into his story, just the fact that he was able to make a movie that doesn't have one dull moment is in my opinion a bigger and better accomplishment. But Elysium, after seeing the trailers, didn't get me super excited to see its offerings. Maybe it was the fact that the movie portrayed itself as something was going to get too muddled with its message. Maybe it was trying to envision Sharlto Copley as a bad guy. Whatever it was, I wasn't hooked. But boy was I wrong. I'm just glad it didn't take me 2 months to figure out.
Elysium is set in the year 2154. The world is divided between the have's and the have not's The have's like on a circular space city called Elysium, where life is bright (at least on the surface) and no one is ever sick (thanks to medical portals that treat you instantly for whatever sickness you have. It's where Secretary of Defense Delacourt (Jodie Foster) lives. But she feels that the politics are ruining the serene life of Elysium and she wants to run things her way. The less fortunate live on Earth, where Los Angeles looks like a third world country it's where Max (Matt Damon) is trying to live a life that isn't run by criminal activity. Max works at a factory building robots and after an accident that not only exposes him to radiation, but that leaves him with only 5 days to live, Max needs to get to Elysium so his life can continue on. Max's mission takes on a greater importance when Frey (Alice Braga), who has a long history with Max, asks him to take her daughter to Elysium so she can be rid of the leukemia that is slowly taking her life. But the only way Max can get to Elysium is by getting back into the criminal world by agreeing to help kidnap and extract information (for the betterment of the people living on Earth) from John Carlyle (William Fichtner) a prominent business man who has agreed to help Delacourt in her plan create an upheaval on Elysium.
That may seem like a movie that is going to have a lot to say but Blomkamp (who also wrote the film), gives every character a very clear and straightforward agenda. Max agrees to extract information to save his life and the lives of others. He agrees to help out his friend's daughter. Delacourt wants to rid the current establishment for her own personal gain. And to do so, she enlists the help of a rogue agent named Kruger (Sharlto Copley) who just may be one of the better bad guys to come across the movie screen in quite some time. His agenda is clear as well. After being terminated for helping Delacourt on another matter, he decides to stage his own coup. Blomkamp, instead of getting into the politics of everything, just lets these worlds collide; becoming the best action movie I've seen this year. And since Blomkamp is such a great director, Elysium doesn't waste time moving from scene to scene and thanks to a very clear directive, you're never really left wondering about certain actions or dialogue given by a character, you know exactly what is going on.
But you know what, in the end I kind of wanted more out of this story, because if Blomkamp had decided to dig a little deeper, I'm sure what he had to say would've been just as fascinating as District 9. But that's a minor quibble as Elysium, as it stands, is a really good and exciting film. So a big thanks to Mr. Blomkamp for bringing some excitement back into the summer movie season, you have no idea how much this was needed.

Redstone Arsenal officials gave an update on a mold problem at their Mills Road Child Development Center Friday.
Team Redstone said analysis shows the presence of three species of mold. Work to get the mold out of the building began Friday night.
The three types of mold found inside the building are Chaetomium, Cladosporium and Stachybotrys.
According to officials, since the mold was encapsulated within wall cavities and not subject to air movement or direct contact with people, students and workers were shielded from exposure.
Children will be rotated to other rooms during the abatement process so they aren't exposed to residue during cleaning. The mold abatement process could take up to seven weeks. Officials said it's always better to be safe than sorry.
"You want to try to ensure the safest environment possible. Let's not be in reaction mode; let's prevent and try to see if we can be in a situation where we don't have an outbreak or something becomes visible," said Colonel Bill Marks.
One mom said she feels her child is safe and appreciates the arsenal's transparency. "I'm really happy with what they've done. They let us know since day one, given out letters back in August when they first found the issue," said Missy Bray.
Officials said even as the mold stands presently, it poses little to no threat to people in the room. However, those with compromised immune systems have the biggest risk of having some kind of allergic reaction.
If parents who are concerned about children experiencing symptoms related to mold exposure should contact their primary healthcare provider.
Beginning Monday, Nov. 4th, Preschool Room 8 (3-4 year olds) will need to be dropped off and picked up at School Age Services located on Vincent Road (Building 3155) in the vicinity of Gate 8 until further notice for the first round of rotations.
Daycare hours and other operations will continue as normal throughout the cleanup period.

above: candied figs with ginger
below: ginger sugar
I have a fig tree that specialises in producing unripe figs. To be fair it has produced some ripe figs too. The figs from the first crop ripen well and are large. Those from the second crop are plentiful, small and don't usually ripen. This year we had an usually warm April and October and the tree has produced a supply of ripe figs from July to November. We ate them fresh from the tree and I made fig chutney and fig jam too.
I picked the last few that hadn't ripened and this year found a recipe that requires unripe figs.
The recipe is for candied figs and comes from Mama's Taverna a Greek food blog.
Figs are preserved in this way in Greece and Turkey. For the recipe follow the link above. I made some additions and I used less sugar. For the first batch I added lemon zest to the vanilla and cloves. For the second batch I added ginger and cloves. I made some ginger sugar by blitzing about 1 oz peeled root ginger with the sugar till the root ginger disappeared. It smelt wonderful.
I used this to make the syrup. Next time I will try it with a bit more ginger.
The recipe has several stages but each one doesn't take too long and the end product is well worth it.

Waikato pivot joins Force
The Western Force have completed the overhaul of their back-line by signing Waikato fly-half Sam Christie.
The New Zealander's recruitment means he claims the Force's final extended playing squad (EPS) contract for 2013.
Christie, who is eligible to play for Australia through his Adelaide-born father, is the ninth new member to the Western Force's back division for the upcoming Super Rugby season.
The former New Zealand Schools representative is one of four strong fly-half options for the Force in 2013 along with former Cheetahs playmaker and Baby Bok Sias Ebersohn, returning Wallaby Sam Norton-Knight and Australian U20 representative Kyle Godwin.
Christie made his ITM Cup debut with Waikato in 2006 and has seven seasons of provincial experience for the Mooloos under his belt.
The 26-year-old began training with the Western Force a month prior to the Christmas break before being offered the EPS contract.
Western Force coach Michael Foley believes Christie's signing adds another quality and experienced choice at fly-half for the Perth-based franchise.
"Being such a pivotal position, we wanted to ensure we had depth at fly-half this season," he said.
"We've now got four quality options at 10 - as well as the ability to cover a number of other positions - through the retention of Kyle Godwin and the recruitment of Sias Ebersohn, Sam Norton-Knight and now Sam Christie.
"Sam's form with Waikato was impressive during the ITM Cup, including a strong showing in their Ranfurly Shield win over Taranaki.
"We invited him to train with us in the lead-in to Christmas and he demonstrated that he's not only ready to take the next step to Super Rugby when called upon to do so, but is hungry and eager for that opportunity.
"Sam's a confident, attacking player. He's strong under pressure, he's got an accurate passing game and he'll be pushing hard for game time this season."
Christie signs on with the Force having previously represented New Zealand Schools (2004), Bay of Plenty U23 (2005) and Waikato U20 (2006) prior to making his provincial debut for the North Island province in 2006.
He revealed that he's keen to continue his rugby development at the Force.
"I'm really excited (about this opportunity)," said Christie.
"I've been working hard for a number of years to make it into Super Rugby and to have this opportunity is a really exciting step.
"I like the running style of rugby and the Force is going to bring a great style of rugby this year.
"We've got some very sharp backs and a versatile forward pack and we've got a chance to play some good attacking rugby which I'm really excited about.
"I'm really happy this opportunity has come for me at the Force.
"The training and medical staff here are of high quality and they give you plenty of feedback on what you're doing.
"It was a big learning curve for me when I was here for four weeks (before Christmas); it was a great experience and I was keen to come back.
"It's a great environment, the guys are really committed and down-to-earth and this is great for me and for my rugby."
