A word from Sons of Essex
The Sons of Essex menu is a reflection of the diverse melting pot of cultures within the Lower East Side. The old school 'Bowery Boys' atmosphere and 'Gangs of New York' vibe pay homage to the history of the Lower East Side, fusing a traditional american comfort food menu with a range of spices from LES immigrants of the past and local ingredients including Essex Street Market fruits & vegetables.

- great food and servicecharley19Dined on 9/19/2014great service/food and cocktails, bartender was on the slow side & wasn't overly friendly. Our waiter Justin was great, great knowledge of the menu, made great suggestions for sharing and answered all our questions and then some. The short ribs are a must, the fish special was sea bass and also very good, pork chop was tender and juicy. Pizza was really good and perfect for sharing. the shrimp and grits were OK. not bad but not great. The bread pudding was disappointing so because of the shrimp & Grits and bread pudding I have to take a star off but go and enjoy - go early if you want to take your time we got there 7:30 and was empty and got packed by 8:30,We will all go backSpecial Features:
- Yummy, but don't linger too longJuneauEatsVIPDined on 9/19/2014We ate here early on a Friday night, since our guest needed to catch a train home. The food was delicious...I had the salmon, my guest ate mussels and my husband had pulled pork...all of us cleaned our plates. My only issue was that the staff tried to clear our table each time we put down the fork or glass and in fact, the waiter took my wine glass while there was still wine in it! I had to ask for it back. The mussels come with garlic bread and my friend wanted to soak up every drop of the sauce but several times the waiter tried to take his plate. This overzealousness to clear our table was annoying. I would still recommend it though as the food is very good...just don't turn your back on your food or else it might be cleared!Special Features:
- Great brunch spotBanana86Dined on 9/7/2014I purchased a Groupon for this place and it didn't disappoint. I got the brunch pizza, which was massive and so delicious. Waiter was very informative and attentive. Love the decor alsoSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gem in the LESt182288VIPDined on 9/7/2014I have to say, Sons of Essex was a place that i walked by so frequently and thought nothing of it; we came here for a brunch on a Sunday and will be back. Service was attentive but not pushy..They werent trying to turn tables like every other LES restaurant on Sunday ; coffee was awesome, truffle tatter tots are a home run but a little too greasy. Portions are huge! Worth sharing and getting a couple of things. We got the breakfast pizza and captain crunch french toast. I wanted to eat all of it but couldnt! Will be back! I applaud this place for everythingSpecial Features:
- Fabulous.GastroJoVIPDined on 8/23/2014I came here to celebrate my birthday on a whim and it was the best decision ever. Food was excellent and the service was stellar. Friendliest waitstaff. So accommodating. Music was on point. I have nothing but great things to say. Most importantly being - I CANNOT WAIT TO RETURN. Thanks for the memories!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Coked up waiternatasha23Dined on 8/19/2014Our waiter was on something. For a place that was only half full he was racing around like a maniac. He gave us the wrong drinks and food more than once during our dinner. He actually took the drink, that I'd already sipped on, and brought it directly to another table. He brought ALL of our food (appetizers and main courses) at the same time and then tried to tell us this was because it was "family style" dining. When the bill came he charged us for food and drinks we never ordered or received.
- Loved It!!!Dgirl518Dined on 8/17/2014I have been dying to check this place out, i found a groupon for brunch and it was so worth it, food was delicious, drinks were yummy, service was good and music was great, my friend and i, absolutely loved it and cant wait to go back and check out the dinner menuSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great servicedisappointedDined on 8/16/2014Our waiter -- tall guy with tattoos was amazing, made great food recommendations, was friendly and energetic, made the entire experience awesome.Special Features:
- Great Service most of the timeShamoneVIPDined on 8/13/2014Happy Hour is from 6-8; I ordered a drink at 556; instead of bartender saying is wasnt happy hr even thou she saw me looking at the menu that was annoying. Dinner service was great. The grits were very salty but we were able to order a different entree without a problem. Waitress and manager apologized deeply about grits and were very attentive even with using groupon. Absolutly love this place for dinner, bar not so much!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pricey foodLovelifeDined on 8/6/2014great watering whole, young and hipster. Great DJ on Wednesday nightSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worst Bloody Mary Ever!YoMammaDined on 8/2/2014Food was good, waitress was friendly and accommodating. Sat brunch so hip-hop music was fresh, albeit a little loud. Probably would be a 4 star review except the pitcher of bloody mary: really gross, watery, just plain awful mix.
- mmttVIPDined on 7/30/2014lost it's cool vibe. food was not good & place smelled like cat urine
- Status Quo!CandyVIPDined on 7/20/2014I frequent this place for brunch and it nerve disappoints! I enjoy everything onm the brunch menu except the mac and cheese omlette and this week I had the salmon benedict which was amazing!Special Features:
- Great food bad tableHcoop13VIPDined on 7/19/2014Great time here, other than we were sat in a service station area with many other 2 tops open.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good vibesJpgz07Dined on 7/18/2014The place has an excellent ambience, the service for me is one of the best (friendly, positive, smiley). The food is good, good portions, flavor and presentation but nothing out of the ordinary. I would come back definitely!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwfulAWFULHIPSTERSDined on 7/13/2014Do not go there if you expect to have your food come out and a normal rate. we waited 15 minutes for a waitress had to ask for one to be found for us food took close to an hour to come out - and that was after i complained had my 18 month old son and the waitress - some russian chick- couldn't have cared less to try and get his dish rushed out of the kitchen. they had to give us 50% off - shouldn't have paid anything. i didn't leave a tip - she deserved nothing. and as we left i watched another table get up before their food even arrived. they had just received their drinks and left like 3 dollars for a tip - GO THEMSpecial Features:
- Food service extremely slow.SethVIPDined on 7/13/2014It took at least 50 minutes if not more for the food to come to the table after the order was placed The entire restaurant was complaining.
- Good times will be hadmove2eatDined on 7/12/2014The ain't to proud to brunch is like no other brunch I've ever been to. The ambience was nice and chill when we started our food and by the end of it, we were dancing it all off. There were plenty of young adults who could fit the bill for professionals, but they were clearly looking to have a good time. I'm a tad bit on the conservative side, so some of the music wasn't quite my thing, but it was a great outing with friends nonetheless. Oh, and most importantly about brunch, the food was great! Maybe a little two sweet or a little too spicy here and there, but still pretty good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun brunchCandyVIPDined on 7/5/2014I come hear very ofter and as usual it never dissapoints!. Food is always great and on saturday they have DJ which plays old school music!Special Features:
- Not so good brunch andLor117VIPDined on 6/28/2014Plastic champagne glasses. Old, cheap, smelly, plastic champagne glasses and not so good food. I had the lobster Benedict- the lobster was chewy and not so fresh. My friends weren't impressed with their omelettes or Benedict's either. The service was good and the waitresses were friendly which was about the only good thing. The music is old school hip hop and pretty fun, if you're into that.Special Features:
- Sons of Essex Impresses AgainMaizenblu5Dined on 6/22/2014This was our second time we came to Sons of Essex for brunch. The food is great with some unique food options! Also the ambiance in the place is very cool.Special Features:
- glad i finally made itCharlezeDined on 6/14/2014I've heard awesome reviews and finally decided to give this place a try. Music was awesome and the food was spectacular. I had the shrimp and grits and it was the best i've had in recent past. Lastly the service was just phenominal. Very friendly and attentitive staff. Bravo S.O.E! Planning a birthday dinner there, hope its an equally great time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite place in the LESGozyDined on 6/11/2014Great date night spot but with several communal tables and a small sunken lounge it looks to favor larger groups too. There's nothing I have to say that's bad about this place. Great food, great atmosphere, and I loved the music. I will be back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 6/7/2014I came here with my boyfriend for a quick dinner since we were nearby. The place was rather empty for a Saturday night. It has a strange vibe of being high end, but with loud rap music and a hostess wearing torn cropped jeans and a backwards graffiti baseball cap. So I think they're trying to create a more urban feel. The decor and server uniforms though are very traditional, so it was rather odd to me. We shared the wings for an appetizer which were good. We also ordered the pork belly sliders and short ribs. Overall, the food and service were good, but it was a strange atmosphere. My only true complaint was the price of the cocktails. They were $14 each, which given the prices at nearby competitors, its just too high.

- Blah food...UWSDinerDined on 5/31/2014The food was pretty bad. The server was super pushy. The scene was nice though. Like the look and feel and pretty energetic. I would just go to get a drink, not dinner, which is what I expected anyway.Special Features:
- Out With The GuysFortuneFindsVIPDined on 5/25/2014Being that I frequent LES, this location has bren on my radar for some time and needless to say, it didn't disappoint. Attending on a Gilt City group voucher, a few friends and I dined for brunch. Although, we had a voucher, the service was devine! I must extend much gratitude to Brittany for her service and attention in general.The entrees we had were okay, not as pleasant as I anticipated, but definitely have to recommend the shrimp and grits. As for the portions, they were definitely enough to leave you fulfilled. On another note, I was bracing myself for overly loud music, but must admit, it was not the case. It's possible this was due to arriving on Sunday around 1:30. Regardless, definitely a great choice to attend with a few friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing brunch food!spoilerdirectorDined on 5/25/2014My wife and I went for brunch via a Gilt City offer. We'd never been there before and the restaurant itself was really eclectic and interesting but it was the food that was truly outstanding. My wife couldn't stop raving about the shrimp and grits, I loved the original eggs benedict (though the english muffin was a bit tough to cut) and the Bloody Mary's were outstanding. I'd highly recommend it for brunch and we're going to check it out for dinner some night, too.Special Features:
- nycmommaVIPDined on 5/17/2014LOUD rap music. Quite a B&T scene on a Saturday night. Menu online does not match AT ALL it's menu in the restaurant. Food was nothing special, and lacked any real lfavor. Drinks were really small for $14. For a young hangout scene, perhaps, but for anyone who wants to actually eat, SKIP IT.Special Features:
- Best day party for hiphopAlwaysDrunkDined on 5/17/2014Too. Much. Fun. Aside from the fact I had to literally be carried out, I had the best time. I love SOE so much. I'd really like to work there. They always have the beast DJs and the best tater tots of all time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- #A2P2B EventMsMooreDined on 5/17/2014I was visiting from Florida and heard about the monthly "Aint 2 Proud 2 Brunch" event that goes on here from 12-6pm. What a blast!!!! The pace was full of beautiful people, a dope DJ, $25 mimosa pitchers, and great food. The music was amazing! It turned into a full out club at 3om in the afternoon. I've never been to anything like it. I will def be flying in during June to catch the next one!!Special Features:
- Excellent find on LESJoePi0105VIPDined on 5/16/2014Great spot to pass a rainy Friday night in the city. Service was great, menu was diverse, and drinks were strong. A bit loud to have a conversation, but the DJ killed it with some 90's nostalgia.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Avoid weekend nightsOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 5/16/2014Music is way too loud for dinner on weekend nights.
- I'll be back ..Aniuta1210Dined on 5/15/2014I came here last night to celebrate my friends birthday (just the two of us). We ordered four "small" plates, which were far from small, so I would advise not to order too much at first. After the first two we were both full and wished we hadn't ordered the others. The buffalo rock shrimp = delicious, but very spicy. The Mac and Cheese was amazing, as was the lobster. The one "complaint" I would have is that another group was having a birthday party as well of about 20 people, which was not a seated dinner. They had hip hop music blasting and sparklers for bottles and cupcakes going around (at 8:30 pm), which was extremely distracting and made it difficult to hear the person sitting directly across from me. Overall, good experience.Special Features:
- Food is still goodJadeTreeVIPDined on 5/13/2014Pork belly sliders are really good and so is the truffle mac and cheese. My friend got the kale salad and supplemented it with steak. It was a really good entree portion. The restaurant is really charming and the bartenders are the best. You must try the white sangria, now summer is approaching and its darn good!Special Features:
- JBLEFVIPDined on 5/11/2014A little disappointed with the brunch. Wouldn't go back for brunch, because it really is not a brunch at all. However, I would imagine that it is good for a casual dinner.
- Meh.deenamitaDined on 5/9/2014Two of us shared a few of the small plates - lobster-on-chip things, pork belly, kale ceasar salad, mushroom flatbread. They were good, just not fabulous. For the price, they should be amazing! but instead fell quite short of savory. For example, the pork belly should have melted in my mouth but didn't. Physically I was sated, but mentally very disappointed. I should point out this food was consumed sober, maybe that was part of the problem!Special Features:
- Great food, Excellent chefesolidarityDined on 5/9/2014This was my first time here for dinner. Good menu with solid choices. Food served on time and hot. Very well prepared, and seasoned perfectly. The place gets loud later in the evening but if you can get there early you can enjoy the conversation along with the great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely DisgustingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/7/2014I don't write reviews often, but this restaurant was extremely disappointing. My friend and I actually bought a Gilt coupon for here not reading it right, thinking it was Beauty and Essex. Either way, we thought we would try it. The pork belly sliders were beyond dry (how is that even possible?) and the pork chop was tasteless and the fried chicken was dry as well. Beyond overpriced as well. You don't find many bad restaurants in NYC, and we unfortunately landed on one while dropping $150.
- Fantastic food! Really cool place!value4moneyDined on 5/3/2014Soooo delicious. They have a very non-traditional but super tasty pizza The hamburger was also really good. Great value for money!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gilt BrunchbqorplainDined on 5/3/2014Good for brunch. The tots and mac and cheese were incredible. The omelet was just ok but the rest of the brunch entrees were great. The music was extremely loud but not sure if that means I am getting too old :)Special Features:

Wierd Dream...I just needed to get this out there....
So his takes place in an old style auditorium/concert hall or something. The stage has a purple/pink-ish mountain with sparkles and marine plants scattered on it. There are stairs leading to the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, there isa large funnel full of swirling water that is on its side and the end of the funnel curves around the the side of the mountain, out of sight. There is a medium-sized table with three people sitting at it- like judges.
The firstjudge on the left (looking from stage) has scruffy black hair, large purple sunglasses, and a black tshirt with black pants. Thiss one also has a purple ascot with lavender spots and gray skin (Gamzee?) The second judge has short, blonde hair, piercing green eyes and a sparlkling red dress on with fair skin. The third judge has shimmering dark blue scales on its pale blue skin. It has maroon lips and yellow eyes. It also has wild, sliver hair.
In the rows of seats behind the table, there is a blonde with a bob in a sparkling dark blue ball gown. There is also a black-haired female with a shiny, black, leather dress that hugs her body and fans out into sparkly black mist aorund her feet. She carries a golden trident.
The blonde in the blue dress stands and walsk up the stage and to the bottom of the stairs of the mountain. She climbs them and reaches the top before doing a flip onto the mountain, landing in front of the funnel. The blonde lands of the long skirt of her dress and stumbles back into the funnel where a femiene scream is heard and a horrible sucking sound.
The judges look unimpressed and simply brush off the fact that she may have died.
Now the black haired female stands and attempts what the missing blonde had just failed. The female sticks the landing but also stumbles back into the funnel. She uses her trident to hold herself back but she starts slipping. This is where I come in.
I am wearing a shimmering purple dress that is very flowy. I have raven black hair that is very curly and wavy.
I seem to be able to float and reach a hand to the black haired female that is about to be sucked into the funnel.
Inside the funnel, the words, Family, Love, Fortune, Friendship, and Power decorating the funnel in creamy blue and pink swirls.
I rescue the girl dressed in black and we stand on stage together and bow. The spotlights are casted on us and the now-full seatsare full of people cheering and clapping.
After that, I woke up. I felt strongly about this dream and wanted to post it on Quizilla. I don't know if it means anything (Although I think i does), butI would love to hear your opinions.

MADRID – The Commission's Security Research programme saw lively debates on the future of security R&D while displaying a diverse range of EU-funded security projects at Spain's "HOMSEC2013" security trade fair in Madrid during 12-15 March.
This follows the Commission's first-time participation at Germany's pre-eminent security trade fair in Essen last year – an industry/research combination that offers pragmatic synergies for both sides.
"At a time when the economic crisis is affecting us all, it is more necessary than ever to have coordinated industrial research programmes in the EU to regain lost ground and re-take the lead in strategic technological areas," Ignacio Dancausa, HOMSEC's director, told the opening session of the Commission's 12-13 March Security Research Event in Madrid. "We are waiting to see how EU research will meet the needs of industry in Horizon 2020," he said, referring to the EU's next 2014-2020 general research budget.
Fellow speaker Juan Carlos Cortes, director of the Center for Industrial Technological Development at the Spanish Ministry of Economy, agreed. "RTD [research and technology development] will play a crucial role in restoring Europe's economic credibility and strength. RTD solutions [in security] must drive economic recovery and help keep it sustainable," he said.
Noting that EU funding represents up to 40 percent of total security research spent in Europe, Marco Malacarne, head of unit for Security Research and Industry at the Commission, told the participants that "this has certainly contributed to maintaining the sector's technological competitiveness. The overarching problem, however, is that we still face a [security sector] divided into 27 national markets which don't enjoy interoperability or common standards. This cripples the strength of the European sector as a whole. Let me assure you that we in Brussels intend to tackle many of these problems."
The remainder of the two-day Security Research Event discussion was divided into six panel debates. These cover such topics as future EU security industrial policy actions, cyber-crime research, dual-use synergies with the defence sector and how to use regional support initiatives such as technology "clusters" to bring security and defence innovation closer together.
Also on offer during the HOMSEC exhibition was a special section of the fair devoted to the Commission's Security Research programme where eight on-going projects displayed their technologies currently under development.

chris who
Just last week we highlighted Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe's admirable efforts at creating a lockout-themed "Hitler's Downfall" parody video, now he's back at it on Twitter, taking shots at some pretty big NFL names, mentioning them all and summarizing his thoughts on those players with the hashtag #douchebags.
What is sticking in Kluwe's craw is how Peyton Manning and Drew Brees (and others, including Vincent Jackson and Logan Mankins) are selfishly attempting to hijack settlement discussions in order to negotiate their own side deals, with the possible side effect of stalling a timely resolution and end to the lockout. In the case of Manning and Brees, they want be exempt from ever having the franchise tag placed upon them during the remainder of their careers while Jackson and Mankins would like to become unrestricted free agents or alternatively, be compensated to the tune of $10 million.
Way to put your own selfish interests in front of all of your NFL-playing colleagues, and perhaps more importantly, all of your fans. The punter is right: quite the demonstration of being "that guy." A mighty fine job pointing it out, Chris Kluwe. Screw those guys.
chris who
Steve who?
Good for him, he has the guts to say what a lot of other NFL players are thinking. I admire him for not sucking up to the sacred cows like the media does.
Nothing but respect for Kluwe. He may be a punter. But he's as good at his job as Manning and the rest are at theirs. That's what matters.
Pal, you should be spouting off about Drew Brees when you played with one of the arrogant drama queens of the game. C'mon give me a damned break. Drew's got more sense than to be compared to Peyton Manning even and Manning's a drama queen in the making. Drew's never gone out seeking to make a negative name for himself like the other two and how you or anybody else can see that is beyond me. You need to look further into things before you spout your stupid mouth off. Or just maybe you've had too many folks running into you either on game day or at practice. Either way you need to get a grip.
I am surprised you took Brees' peeniss out of your mouth long enough to write this.
Yea with a name like BJ hahaha
way to make a jerk of yourself by slamming people based on rumors…..not facts, but rumors. why do they let punters talk to the media? who even listens to these slaps?
#douchebags…nice touch ya douchbag.
If ya'all would watch the news these guys and don't forget about Tom Brady are all having their little side deals, money hungry bi**ches is all they are, step aside and let the deal get done, worry about yourselves later, I'm sure your not hurting for money…
You can blame this on players if you want to, but the fact of the matter is Mankins and Jackson were both royally screwed by their teams last year. They are geniuses to pursue this settlement because all of the pressure will be on the NFL to get the season started and it won't really effect the NFL all that much to pay them $10 million a piece, or allow those two to become unrestricted free agents. The only thing that they have to worry about is criticism from ignorant fans (ie everyone posting on this page) and players with tunnel vision (Kluwe). Also, let's not act like Kluwe is some kind of hero, he hid behind his keyboard and posted on twitter which is one of the most cowardly things you can do. Plus, he's barely even a real player. #fightthepower.
Well Claw your as wrong as any narrow minded, Hero worshipping, non-playing dude has ever been. Chis Kluwe could have made these same comment to any sports outlet in America. Hell ESPN and Fox Sports eat these "tip offs" up instantly. Mike and Mike in the Morning has unidentified sources on the phone all the time. But He used twitter and used his real name. No, he is not a hero but he is very truthful. The actions and statements of Brady, Manning and Brees make these facts, not rumors.
If you think Drew Brees would not leave the Saints in a heatbeat, to Cleveland or Buffalo(with no chance of winning anything but 1st draft pick) for a extra 3-4 million duckies, then you sir are a fool.
I do now expect all of you player-good, owners-bad types to be out in the streets at the 191 US Corporations that make more money than the NFL protesting to make sure the cleaning lady gets $4.8million a year or you are HYPOCRITS!
I'm not wrong nor am I narrow minded. I think any coach or player who goes to the media instead of the person that they are frustrated with is having a moment of either cowardice or stupidity. I'm not even going to touch on anything else that you said because it's clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. There is a lot more to labor negotiations and litigation for collective bargaining agreements than they tell you on ESPN. That being said I'll leave you to your own misinformed opinions because I don't have the time nor the interest to explain it all to you. I would suggest you do some research for yourself though to avoid further embarrassment.
you claw dont know shit
Excellent argument
I suspect that even a "lowly" punter knows a whole lot more than anyone posting to this site so far. He IS an NFL player, after all, and has a stake in these negotiations. You do not. While I've not heard of any of these "side deals" before, I give the report more cred coming from him than from some b'caster looking for a ratings bump or some "well-informed" fan whose feelings are hurt that his favorite qb has been called-out. I live in BR and pull for Brees but that doesn't mean I wear blinders or put plugs in my ears where he's concerned.
This is the first you have heard of the side deals which means that you have no idea what they entail. Chris Kluwe, like most of the players, probably doesn't have a clue (no pun intended) what goes on during labor negotiations. He made a brash, misinformed, and stupid statement, and I guarantee that he apologizes for it.
I'm curious Claw, what makes you more informed than an NFL player. I think everyone reading your comments might not have a problem with what you are saying if you can provide credentials that show that you know more than they do. last time i checked each team votes in a player rep for the PA who acts as the liason between the players and the PA. Considering the player reps are in the middle of the negotiations im pretty sure they are keeping all of the other players informed as to whats going on. as far as Kluwe hiding behind his keyboard, im pretty sure he knew that it would get out into the media scene faster on twitter than if he talked to one local media person. im pretty sure he didnt post that on twitter hoping no one would see it, at least he had the balls to step out and state what he feels, im pretty sure there are other players, even bigger named than him that feel the same way, so please do myself and everyone else here a favor and give us one good reason to believe you over the media and an NFL player
I have a Bachelors and Masters Degree from a major university on the subject. You will more than likely not believe that, but that's not what's important. You seem to be "pretty sure" about a lot of things. Players are largely ignorant on what actually happens during the litigation process, and that includes player reps because they don't have relevant degrees. As such there is no way that they can keep other players informed on the intricacies of the process ie law suit details because they don't understand it themselves. Apparently you can read Kluwe's mind too? Do you think Rashard Mendenhall wanted his tweets about Bin laden to reach the media? How about Larry Johnson and his gay slurs? I guess my real question to you is where are you getting your information? People tweet things without thinking all the time, especially athletes.
Well, the bit dog howls first. Claw, I wasn't addressing my comments to you in particular, but let's go. A BA & masters on WHAT subject? "NFL contract talks involving side deals to particular players"? I can just see THAT thesis. Talk about narrowly defining an area of expertise! Bullwinkle also went to a "major" university – good ol' Whatsamatta U. Even he listened to the voice of reason and common sense, ie, Rocky. You are utterly & deliberately vague as to your credentials. A person doesn't need a degree to listen to another say something. If someone says he wants to not be tagged as a franchise player, that is very clear. Likewise when one wants $10M or UFA status. Just because I have not heard of these side deals is no reason to state I have no idea what they entail. I can simply read these posts and have a very clear understanding what is meant by the term 'side deals.' No lawyeresque speechification course needed. Intent is all that's needed to be known. Someone wants something special for themselves. Damn, do you think a plain old regular guy doesn't understand the concept of a side deal? Do you think knowledge of them is the exclusive province of NFL players and lawyers – and you? Talk about having no idea.
What does it matter whether or not I'm vague. Even if I was lying don't you think I could come up with a specific degree field as well as a prestigious university? Even if I gave you my full name and a website link to prove my credentials you could still call me a liar and claim that it wasn't me so what's the point? Whether you believe me or not it is true that I have two degrees in this field, and as such I understand that there are things about labor negotiations that most people just don't understand. You continue to make this quite clear, especially since you directly claimed that you got your information about the subject from the posts on this page. For future reference uninformed blog postings = a bad place to get accurate information. I don't want you to think I'm calling you unintelligent, simply ignorant.
"What does it matter whether or not I'm vague." Well, a whole lot. You claim authority without divulging what that authority is. Period. I don't care how many degrees you have or from where; what is the nature of those degrees? As Dbo said, just tell us. We're not here to cry BS. And I didn't "directly claim" I got info from the posts, I admitted it. There is a big difference. I am being forthright, divulging the degree and source of my knowledge. Someone with two, one, or no degrees in any subject will comprehend that. And not all posts are uninformed, that is a most specious argument, it sounds right but it isn't. For you to say that is to condemn you own argument: If all posts are uninformed and there is nothing to be learned from them, then yours cannot be characterized as informed and learned. To call me ignorant is an ad hominem argument, as in "attack the man" rather than the subject. I still believe that Crewes has more insight than any poster here – either pro or con. HE plays in the NFL. You and I do not! That is the point I made in my initial post and I stand by it. You have offered nothing of any substance to refute my point, only vague mumblings that you know what I and others don't – it doesn't work like that, in the real world or in the blogs.
Fine, both of my degrees are in Sport Management from the University of Georgia. I have had masters level classes in Labor Relations in Sport as well as Sports Law. If you believe that then believe this, if you had the background that I have it would be clear to you that Kluwe, the blogger, and everyone posting are all ignorant about what they are saying. I'm not bragging about my credentials, I think it is within almost anyone's grasp to achieve what I have with relative ease. My point is that none of you have and therefore you don't really know what you're talking about. I might waste my time trying to refute your point if you had ever made one to begin with. You seem to think that playing in the NFL makes you privy to what is going on in the lockout negotiations. I know a few NFL players personally and they basically really only know what they see on ESPN. That is fact, it's not what I think it's what I know.
I know you all care about the NFL. And that is the part that will hurt when you hear this. F all these F'ing A'holes. Let these F'ers get a real job selling shoes. And let the owners eat a huge bowl of S and sit on their stadiums for the next 5 years doing nothing. I can't stand a one of them. Money is what it all came down to. It always does. Now, get ready to really blast me: in NASCAR, this S would NEVER happen. The drivers are free to drive on the 405 freeway for nothing anytime they want. Drivers KNOW they owe the fans and sponsors EVERYTHING. If the drivers feel wronged in the persuit of 10's of millions, they can go race for change in the INDY racing league. That's why drivers thank the fans EVERY race in victory circle. They don't bitch and moan about money and they thank God they are doing something they LOVE and getting any pay for it. I am not saying drivers are all saints, but when it comes to $$$, you will never hear of a driver saying ANYTHING negative.
And to add, how many convict A'holes get caught break all kinds of laws like weapons charges, attempted rape, sexual assuly, batterey, etc. NFL, NBA, MLB. They might have a slip up, but NASCAR fixes them and threatens them with suspension and then lifetime suspension. One change for breaking the rules. That's all you get.
While, his (Kluwe's) language is a bit off, his point is right between the uprights…. GOOD FOR HIM

Comments about bareMinerals Natural Lip Color Lipstick, Truffle, .17 oz:
I bought this color because I love darker lips but I have to say that it is very hard to put on evenly and it so dry that it goes beyond matte of any kind. It also has a funny smell and I just dont wear it as much as I would like. I am a huge fan of all of the makeup BE has and this is the only lip color that has let me down. If I could get the same color in a much more softer, and easier way to apply it to my lips I would and not to mention the smell.
Thanks for everything and I love all of the makeup that you provide!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about bareMinerals Natural Lip Color Lipstick, Truffle, .17 oz:
I looked up the truffle color on this site, other beauty product sites, and the Bare Minerals site itself. While there was a slight difference between each, from the pictures & description "a rose brown"I thought I had a good idea what I was getting- a nice neutral. This color is not. It's like a deep pink on; looks brick red in the tube. Also not nearly as sheer as I'd expected the application to be, even over lip moisturizer. It feels good, applies smoothly (provided your lips are in smooth shape) & lasts pretty well. It won't look just-applied for too long, depending on how much you eat, drink, talk, etc., but the underlying color will last all day. It has a nice almost matte finish- not enough to look chalky or powdered but not shiny either. My lips are pretty well-defined naturally but I could see how this might feather if you tend ot have that problem b/c the lines don't stay perfectly. I kept it despite the huge difference between the color I wanted (& still search for-something pretty, pinky-beigey-brownish that will not look ugly but will help cut down the natural dark bright pink of my lips) & what this is. Very close to Cargo Plantlove Sagarmartha, which I also have tried, & on me looks like crazy fuschia. Pretty, if you're after a bolder color. My feelings are so mixed, don't know if I'd ever try another shade, but it's not bad at all.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Senate Ag Begins CFTC Reauthorization Process
Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow convened the first official hearing in the committee's Commodity Futures Trading Commission reauthorization effort Wednesday. Stabenow said the committee must examine lessons from past market failures as it reauthorizes the CFTC to avoid repeat crises like the 2008 near-collapse of global financial markets that left eight-million men and women without jobs. She said the committee wants to make sure the agency responsible for protecting these markets has the authority, staff and modern technology needed to do its job.
Stabenow also cited the collapse of MF Global and its loss of 1.2-billion dollars in segregated customer funds as a critical reminder of why it's important to make sure the markets are transparent and functioning as needed. She noted the committee has been closely monitoring the MF Global case - with a focus on getting customers their money back, holding anyone engaged in wrongdoing accountable and ensuring that proper customer protections are in place so something similar doesn't happen again.
Committee members heard from a range of witnesses including market participants, end users and regulators. Stabenow said additional hearings will be announced in the coming weeks.

The much anticipated trial of Jodi Arias started on Wednesday. The prosecution says she's a cold blooded killer while the defense says she was a victim of abuse -- fighting to protect herself.
Arias is charged with murdering her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander, in 2008.
This case is four years in the making.
Arias is accused of stabbing Travis 27 times, slitting his throat and shooting him in the head while he showered.
She did several jail house interviews since her arrest in 2008 -- constantly changing her story. First, she denied being at Alexander's house when he was killed, then later said she was there.
Her mug shot looked more like a glamour shot, but this is this beauty actually a murdering beast?
When asked if she killed Travis Alexander, Arias replied, "Absolutely not..I would be shaking in my boots right now if I had to answer to such a heinous crime."
That was her story back in 2008.
But as her trial began, her story changed. Now she admits to killing Alexander, but in self-defense, because she was abused by him -- claiming the devout Mormon was really a sexual deviant with an explosive temper.
Prosecutors say Arias lashed out in a jealous rage after Alexander broke off their relationship and began dating another woman.
In court Thursday, Arias wore a green blouse and slim black slacks. Prosecutors played a taped conversation between Mesa Police Detective Estaban Flores and Arias.
Detective on tape: "When we first arrived on scene and started talking to people, some of his closest friends began mentioning your name as, you need to call her because she probably knows what happened to him or she probably had something to do with it."
Arias: "Oh gosh."
Detective: "I needed to talk to you to find out why they would say something like that, why they would start pointing fingers in your direction right away?"
Arias: "We started fighting because I got into his phone because I had a suspicion that he was not being faithful and I found a bunch of text messages that were no good and rather than being an adult and confront him I kept it in... he was really apologetic but we just both realized we both could not be in an adult relationship."
She told the detective she had nothing to do with the killing and had not seen Travis for months. Arias said they were intimate but not romantic.
Arias on recording: "We kept our dating lives from each other, like a don't ask don't tell policy sort of, and I think it worked out more conveniently. If he doesn't have a girlfriend I can come over and if he doesn't think I am with anybody then he was fine too."
On the recording, Arias said she couldn't understand how her weightlifting boyfriend could be murdered.
Arias on tape: "He is so strong, I mean there are a couple times we wrestled, I do not see how anyone unless there were two people could overpower him."
Also in the conversation, Det. Flores told Arias the police were looking into her social media accounts.
The cross-examination focused on rope fibers found in the bathroom where Alexander was killed. The defense suggested those fibers came from a rope used to tie Arias down during sex -- but later the detective told prosecutors the fibers were not linked to that rope.
Some are already comparing this case to the murder trial of Casey Anthony, so it's getting a lot of attention. The trial resumes next Tuesday.

Alagille syndrome is predominately caused by changes in a gene called Jagged1 located on chromosome 20. In 3 to 5 percent of cases, the entire gene is deleted (missing) from one copy of chromosome 20. In the majority of cases of Alagille syndrome, there are changes or mutations in the DNA sequence that makes up the Jagged1 gene. In a very small number of cases, less than 1 percent, changes in another gene, Notch 2, result in Alagille Syndrome.
About one-third of children with Alagille syndrome inherit the change in Jagged1 from a parent. In the remaining two-thirds of cases, the mutation in Jagged1 is a new one in that child. Alagille syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, which means someone who carries the Jagged1 gene mutation has a 50 percent chance of passing on that mutation to their child.
The effect of having a mutation in Jagged1 can vary widely. Some individuals who inherit a mutation have severe Alagille syndrome, involving heart and liver disease, while others experience only minor manifestations, such as posterior embryotoxon or characteristic facial features.

Golding Capital Partners, the fund of funds group, and the HEC School of Management University in Paris examined a total of 648 private equity investments made before the Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008 and realised in the period up until 2011.
The investments – split evenly between Europe and the US – were divided into two categories: those made at any point pre-September 2008 and those made at the height of the boom between 2006 and 2008.
The results show exits generated by the former group outperformed comparable investments in the stock market at exit by 5.1% while portfolio companies exited from the latter category achieved an "exceptionally positive" outperformance of 20.5%.
The results certainly look conclusive. But there needs to be some caution as the report failed to take into account several important factors. Most importantly, with a few exceptions aside, investors do not back private equity managers by deal, but on a fund basis.
So while the returns from investments in a fund may exceed public performance there will in many cases be portfolio companies in the same fund that could reduce – or even wipe out – the returns generated by these exits. Furthermore, the exits competed so far are likely to be a manager's best assets, as they hold onto weaker performers waiting for the market to recover.
This problem is compounded by the fact that the report's methodology only allows returns on individual company exits to be measured as low as zero, whereas stock market returns can go into negative territory, meaning that any large drop in the stock markets could potentially skew so-called outperformance.
No doubt many private equity managers will have funds containing portfolio companies that beat their stock market peers across the board but these won't become apparent for several years yet. For investors looking at making their next set of commitments at a firm's strongest exit is unlikely to be most effective criteria for judging success going forward.
Jeremy Golding, founder and managing director of Golding Capital Partners, said in a statement: "The study shows that private equity has proven itself as a robust alternative to investments in quoted equities and has a stabilising effect on an overall portfolio."
Golding may well be proved correct but without taking a wider view at fund performance – perhaps by looking at holding valuations of unsold portfolio companies – a fair comparison is likely to prove difficult to achieve.

A North Shore gentleman in search of a men's store will no longer be able to shop at the mall for his personal needs by the end of December.
He will have to go downtown—downtown Deerfield, downtown Highland Park, downtown Lake Forest or downtown Northbrook that is.
With the closing of Mark Shale at Northbrook Court in December, that North Shore mall will no longer have a men's store. At one time Mark Shale competed with Brooks Brothers as well as local institutions Brittany, Ltd., and Bigsby & Kruthers at the shopping center.
Want to follow similar articles? Sign up for our newsletter and "like" us on Facebook!
For gentlemen seeking the service and quality traditional men's and boys' stores offer, there are plenty of options around like Guys & Co. in Deerfield, Avant for Men in Highland Park, Leonard's Mens and Boys in Northbrook and Smith's Men's Store in Lake Forest.
One person who understands the necessary niche is Harold "Happy" Fell of Highland Park. Fell's grandfather started a family clothing business in Highland Park, Glencoe and Winnetka which served the North Shore for nearly a century. The company closed in 2007 when no member of the fourth generation of the family chose to work in the stores.
"Menswear has to be top end," Fell said of what a local business needs to do to in the face of companies like Men's Wearhouse or Jos. A. Bank. "Few can compete with the mass merchandisers."
Avant Makes a Mark With Relationship Building
Ollie Galam, the owner of Avant for Men which sells high end lines like Canali, Robert Talbott and St. Croix, has found a solution. Starting out with Mark Shale more than 20 years ago, he opened his own store in 1996 adding the Highland Park location in 2008.
"We try to build a relationship with our customers," Galan said. "We have great quality for the price wrapped with relationships and service so you're getting a value. You'll always try to buy the best you can afford. I'm the one who stands behind the clothing and alterations."
In Northbrook, Leonard Hochmuth has found his own forte for male clothing. He joined the 40-year-old family business 37 years ago after graduating college and becoming a certified public accountant.
"Our No. 1 niche is the bar mitzvah business," Hochmuth said. "We had someone in the store from Grand Rapids last weekend. I feel really good someone came all that way." Leonard's also focuses on high school apparel as well as scouting.
High School Apparel Abounds at Leonard's
"We have 50 or 60 different selections of high school apparel (for Glenbrook North)," Hochmuth said. "We have a lot for Deerfield High School and Glenbrook South and some for New Trier and Stevenson."
In Lake Forest, John Tadel, the owner of Smith's Men's Store, has found a key to success as well. While Avant specializes in trend setting lines, Tadel features traditional selections like Hart Schaffner Marks and Corbin. Like Galan and Hochmuth, service is a critical component for Tadel.
"I'm a traditional store," Tadel said. "Fashion is not the most prominent part of the business. We're a conservative, traditional kind of clothing store. The most important thing (we offer that the chains do not) is the personal attention. We make sure that the customer goes out of here looking and feeling good."
Smith's offers button-down collars, navy blazers, gray slack, suits and white shirts. "They want the same stuff they've been buying for years," Tadel said.
In Deerfield, Bonnie Brickman, a former employee of the Fell Company, offers primarily clothing for young men through high school as well as some menswear at Guys & Co.
Though Mark Shale will close in December ending a long era of men's shopping at Northbrook Court, some of the local competitors do not think it bodes well for the community. "No one wants to see this," Galam said. "It's not worth the collateral damage.

Windows proves Microsoft isn't dead
The company's stock surges on growth in its flagship software business. But what's next?
By Jeff Reeves
Microsoft (MSFT) gets kicked around as the unloved stepchild of tech. As everyone touts the evolution of consumer and business technology into a "post-PC" world, you can't help but wonder how the company will stay on top.
Well, don't start carving Microsoft's tombstone just yet. The tech giant announced its third-quarter earnings results after the bell Thursday, surprising analysts with some record numbers and sending shares surging almost 6% Friday.(Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
The reasons included a revamped line of legacy software, as well as some impressive growth in newer business ventures that show Microsoft is indeed evolving beyond its bread-and-butter Windows operating system.
Here are the details: Microsoft's quarterly revenue was up 6% compared with the year-ago period's $17.41 billion, while operating income increased by 12% to $6.37 billion. Gains of between 4% and 14% were reported in most divisions, including the mainstay Windows business.
That is reason enough for optimism in the short term. But in case you think this is just one good quarter, CEO Steve Ballmer gave investors reason to be optimistic about the months and years ahead, too.
Microsoft is bringing a series of highly anticipated new products to market this year, including Windows 8 for PCs and tablets. The move is meant to integrate mobile and desktop experiences, something that could connect big with many folks. More importantly, it could help MSFT go post-PC without abandoning its dominance in the laptop and desktop markets. There's also a new version of its flagship Office software suite, with cloud computing features.
So is Microsoft back in the saddle and worth investing in? Maybe. MSFT is up about 2% in the past 30 days -- outperforming not just the broader Dow Jones but also tech darling Apple (AAPL). It's no surprise StockPickr founder James Altucher has enough confidence in it to make MSFT his pick for InvestorPlace's 10 Best Stocks for 2012 contest.
But let's not sound the all-clear just yet. Despite some decent earnings and nice software launches on the calendar, Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices division continues to struggle. Though the Microsoft Xbox 360 remains the top-selling console in the U.S. for a 15th consecutive month, revenue plummeted 16% as the company failed to follow up on the success of the Kinect motion controller. Also, the Windows Phone remains a huge disappointment -- especially when you look at the dismal results hardware partner Nokia (NOK) just reported.
It's also worth noting that net income declined to $5.1 billion from $5.2 billion last year. The EPS total beat expectations, but it's obviously much better to be growing profits and beating expectations than to see your profits stagnant.
Still, it's hard to argue against the dominance Microsoft currently enjoys, and it's encouraging to see it is looking beyond Windows to come up with new revenue streams. Wall Street certainly seems to think some of the pessimism is overblown and has driven shares up an impressive 25% year to date when you include Friday's pop -- easily three times the Dow Jones' gains. And now Microsoft stock is at a new 52-week high.
However, the million-dollar question for investors is whether Microsoft can keep this up and build on its recent successes. The company remains below its 2007 peak even after recent gains in share prices, and it will have to do much more than post one good earnings report to stay in Wall Street's good graces over the next several months.

I agree about the others spreading FUD about MS Windows. They are all worried about the handheld seen now that Windows 8 was built for tablets all the way up to gaming PC's, I would be really worried about that specially like I said, MS is building toward the mobile market.
And to Correct Daniel Fox, Windows 98 not 97. Windows 98 came out in 98 followed by Windows 98 Second Edition in 99, with Windows 2000 for business and Millennium Edition(ME) coming out in middle of 2000 and XP launch in late 2001.
In all honesty, I don't think we need 8 this early on the desktop as 7 is the Best and most stable by far. I agree with needing it in the handheld though. Desktop users should just get a service Pak or a cheaper downloadable content for like $50 with a Key.
Good luck MS, you're one of the main reasons we are where we are today! (Your touch tables are one of the coolest tech gizmos so far.)
I don't understand how anyone could say Microsoft is not dead because of Windows.
Windows 95 came out. Then windows 97. Then windows 2000. Windows Millenium came one year after that! Windows XP came out one year after that and is still being used by over 25% of computers and almost 70% of business. XP had a good run for 5 years before Vista came out in 2007. For those keeping track, that is 4 upgrades in 10 years! If you had a windows 97 computer (and the hardware magically managed to keep up) you could have upgraded it to 2K, ME, XP and Vista before the computer was 10 years old.
Vista was a nightmare. No one liked it so just 2 years later, they released windows 7. Granted it has been 3 years after the release of Windows 7 but it's still nothing compared to the 5 year run that XP had. XP still has the majority of the market share over 10 years later. When that changes to newer software, that is when microsoft is not dead.
In the meanwhile, it's just Microsoft throwing everything against the wall and seeing what sticks.

Politico dissects Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran's survival over primary challenger and Tea Party favorite Chris McDaniel. In a non-concession speech McDaniel accused of Cochran of using liberal/Democratic outreach to win and that almost certainly was a factor in Cochran's narrow, and one could argue upset, win over McDaniel.
But that door-knocking at liberal and black households was, as Politico describes, just one tactic in a much larger overall strategy deployed by the Republican establishment to literally ride to Cochran's rescue.
And here's another element of this race that should generate a lot of discussion; national Tea Party groups were all in, spent millions and lost. They largely stayed away from the House race that saw Majority Leader Eric Cantor lose to a "Tea Party" candidate. David Brat won that race with true grass roots Tea Party support. That may be the real lesson to take away here.
And finally, everybody will wonder how big a role last minute support by former Packers legend Brett Favre played. As a listener of mine put it: "you've got one guy who didn't know when to quit supporting another guy who doesn't know when to quit." Perhaps believing Cochran didn't have enough gas left in his tank for an overtime period may have been McDaniel's biggest failing.

Freezing rain in the forecast means slick streets and potentially dangerous driving.
VDOT reports that road temperatures Monday morning are ranging from 32 to 35 degrees.
Some icy patches have been developing throughout the morning causing some traffic to move a bit slower on highways like I-95.
VDOT says that preparations are already underway for the freezing rain. Once the rain starts to fall, VDOT and contractor crews said they'll spread sand and salt to moist pavement as needed, focusing on areas that typically freeze first such as bridges, overpasses and ramps.
Drivers coming into the city from the north and west advised to reduce their speeds, even when roads have been treated. Those areas north and west of Richmond will be at a higher risk of black ice.

After CBS blackout, City Council to examine dispute with Time Warner Cable
As Time Warner Cable's blackout of CBS enters its third day, the City Council is gearing up for an oversight hearing to hold officials accountable for the contract dispute.
After several short-term contract extensions and failed negotiations the past several weeks, Time Warner removed channels owned by CBS from its lineup Friday afternoon.
The City Council will hold a joint oversight hearing at City Hall Thursday to examine what led to the CBS blackout, which affects eight cities and roughly three million subscribers in New York.
"Television service should not be dependent on the whims of a bitter corporate stand-off," Speaker Christine Quinn said in a statement.
Consumer Affairs Committee Chair Daniel Garodnick said officials should not subject customers to threats of rising costs from "do-or-die" negotiations.
"A new framework is needed to prevent interruption of the service that cable customers are paying for," said Garodnick in a statement.
Time Warner officials said CBS has made "outrageous" and "unreasonable" demands in contract talks.
"It is often said that these disputes are just two giant corporations fighting over money," Time Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt said in a letter to customers Friday. "But the skyrocketing price of programing has a direct impact on your monthly cable bill."
CBS officials said they were "eager" to make an agreement, but they still seek "fair compensation."
"We will not give up our channel position or any other asset by which our viewers identify us," CBS said in a statement on the blackout.
Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises Chair Mark Weprin stressed the blackout hurts consumers.
"Our oversight hearing will provide the Council with an opportunity to hold both parties accountable for their irresponsible behavior," Weprin said in a statement.
Before the blackout began, Quinn also sent a letter urging both companies to come to an agreement without cutting off service.
The City Council Committee on Consumer Affairs and the Zoning and Franchises Subcommittee will hold the joint hearing Thursday. Members of the public are encouraged to submit testimony at the hearing, which will be held at 10 a.m.

Hey I was wondering if we could set up any type of linkage between my own site and yours.
Thanks for your time
I would suggest putting some content on your website first, and then trying to advertize it. It usually goes this way with successful websites, not the other way around.
I have been pointed to: http://wiki.polishlinux.org/zenwalk
I have modified the information to include almost all information. Please allow it to be compared with other distros (not yet available in the selection-boxes).
Best regards,
I found (I think) a spelling error on the home page.
Unless it is some newly coined term
=== 8
Well actually it is a newly conied term I'm promoting
It means "a vertical portal", that is a website that looks like a portal but concentrates on one single well-defined "industry" (that is, in our case: mostly GNU/Linux and free software).
The term "vortal" is mentioned in some online dictionaries like the webopedia, so it's not really a term invented by us
I was reading over your review of Slackware and from all appearances it would be on the bottom of the list of choices for newbies. Of course not every distro is directed toward newbies, but there are a couple of distros that are Slackware based that shine some "new light" on Slackware. These are Wolvix and Goblinx. They are easy to use and fun to deal with. Slackware and easy to use in the same sentence!!!!!
I am not done playing with Wolvix but with the addition of Slapt-get it seems that the dependency problem in Slackware is being worked on. The liveCD format gives you easy access and the hard disk install is as easy as some Debian distros. Wolvix recognized all my hardware (not extreme) and setup my DSL internet automagically. Wolnix comes with Xfce and Fluxbox, so you can kiss KDE and Gnome goodby!! Wolvix has a lot of popular and productive apps and some time consuming games. It has utilities/tools that even Kubuntu didn't have!! And,the all important multimedia codecs and plugins are pre-installed. The only strike against Wolvix is that the software repositories are not as extensive as Debian's, but then that's a Slackware thing. It is fast, stable, small enough to fit on a larger jump drive and not a resource hog (will run on older machines). You really don't have to install it (quite portable). Wolvix makes Slackware easy enough for a newbie, yet still has the old school charm.
Goblinx, well I have looked at the web site, it is similar to Wolnix in being smallish and portable and Slackware based. It is unique in its look and feel and has extraordinary art work. I think these two distros raise the bar on Slackware and deserve a deeper look. I really like the Polishlinux site, it offers great insight into choosing a distro.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Just a few years ago, if you wanted to buy organic food, you really had to hunt for it. But now, nearly every grocery store has an organic section. Even big box retailers like Walmart carry organic foods.
Organic food can be expensive. But there is a way to get organic food that is affordable, but you need to strike a balance between the desire to buy organic food, time, and buying it at a price you can afford.Emily Bruso, who is on a budget, wanted to feed her family of six more organically grown food. She wasn't sure she had the time or money to figure it out. "It has to be financially manageable. I'm a mom of four. I home school. It has to be, time-wise, do-able," said Bruso.Minde Herbert thinks Bruso can do it. The self-described organic foods evangelist runs the web site Affordably Organic and preaches buying organic foods on a budget. At a Publix, she pointed out organic canned food that is actually cheaper than brand name canned veggies. Even canned corn, peas and green beans were cheaper. If you buy in bulk, big deals can be had. Fresh produce can really add up at the register unless you know what you're doing. "You have your Clean 15, and your Dirty Dozen," said Herbert.According to environmental researchers, the Dirty Dozen are foods have a lot of pesticide residue on them -- foods like apples, leafy veggies, celery, and peaches. This is where you should spend your money buying organic.
What are the Clean 15? Food scientists say foods such as sweet potatoes, onions, asparagus, and bananas save you money, because they have very little pesticide residue.
(For the complete list of the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15, click here!)Organic meat can get very expensive. At Kroger and Publix, there is a deal that you may not know about. Boneless chicken breast can run $6.39 a pound. A whole chicken is $1.69 a pound. It's the same product. Don't cut it up yourself, Herbert says take it to the butcher and ask if he'll do it for you. Herbert insists even the time-strapped can save money by making a few things from scratch. Pick one pre-packaged item and make it at home.
