NORMAN, Okla. - The Sooners might just have the biggest road win of the year and now the season seems to have opened up for Oklahoma.
After improving to 4-0 with a 35-21 win at Notre Dame, the Sooners improved to No. 11 in the Associated Press poll and No. 10 in the Coaches Poll.
But more importantly than the win over Notre Dame is the schedule the rest of the way. OU is at home against TCU Saturday and then will take on Texas on Oct. 12. The Sooners still have undefeated Texas Tech and Baylor on the schedule.
However, TCU isn't the team that many projected to win the league after losing its starting quarterback. Oklahoma State lost at West Virginia and Texas has been blown out twice, including once at home to Ole Miss.
No. 16 Baylor (3-0) looks to be the toughest game left.
"If we win them all, it will take care of itself," said defensive back Aaron Colvin.
Well, sort of. OU could very well go undefeated, but the Sooners will certainly have to get some help to get to the BCS title game. Alabama is No. 1 and Oregon is No. 2. Each still has big games left, including Oregon taking on Stanford. Florida State (4-0 and No. 8 plays against 4-0 and No. 3 Clemson. No. 7 Louisville is the only unbeaten team ahead of OU that doesn't have a game left against a top-10 team.
One-loss Georgia (No. 6), Texas A&M (No. 9) and LSU (No. 10) are ahead of Oklahoma. While the road win against Notre Dame is impressive and will help OU with the upcoming computer polls, previous wins against West Virginia, Tulsa and ULM don't look as powerful. West Virginia did beat Oklahoma State, but the Moutaineers were blown out 37-0 against Maryland. Tulsa has been a disappointment and ULM isn't hte same kind of team that upset Arkansas last year and made a bowl game - not yet, anyway. Things could change.
"No one around here is satisfied with beating one team," cosh Bob Stoops said of beating Notre Dame. "Maybe some other places, but that's not how it works around here."

Peruvian Food - chupe and pollo a la brasa
I've recently moved here from Washington, DC, where Peruvian food was easily found. I'm looking for two things: chupe de camarones and cheap but delicious pollo a la brasa, with fried yucca and yummy white sauce. Can anyone point me to some great places in New York? Thanks!
The only Peruvian place I've been to is Mancora in the E Vill (http://www.menupages.com/restaurantde...). I thought it was mediocre/good.
AVOID coco roco in Park Slope. They used to be good but the last meal was unpalatable and lukewarm.
For Peruvian, come on up to Port Chester in Westchester County (wow, who'd have thought you could say come to Westchester for good food - times are changing). Its a half hour on the metro north New Haven line.
About two blocks from the train on North Main St. is Misti's Pollo Ala Brassa! Some of the best Peruvian around. Plus the whole block is dotted with good to great Latin American food and cheap. After Misti's go down the block to Palleteria Fernandez and have some incredible lucious fruit pops and ice cream - made by the two Fernandez brothers from scratch in the back of the shop. For better you have to go to Mexico.
Here's some tips:
re: wesfoodie
Don't forget this one... 137 Irving Ave. in Port Chester.
Link: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/...
Enjoy wherever you decide.
Punto Fijo in Jackson Heights is great for ceviche, jalea, antecuchos, papas a la huacaina, and definitely get carapulcra if they have it. I am pretty sure they have chupe de camarones and pollo a la brasa, definitely yuca fries. The aji is great. http://www.chowhound.com/news/show/10221
89-12 Northern Blvd 718-205-2282
Best rotisserie chicken is Pio Pio, 84-15 Northen Blvd, also a take-out location in Rego Park on Woodhaven Blvd. They have great jalea and ceviche on weekends too. The Manhattan branch is not as good for some reason.
Not much good Peruvian in Manhattan. I agree that Coco Roco used to be great but has gone way downhill, sad, I guess the chef left or something.
flor de mayo has amazing pollo a la brasa. they are chino-latino but the chinese owner has lived in peru.
not peruvian but really good is the squid fried rice on the chinese menu.
there are two locations
amsterdam & 84
b'way & 101
There's an excellent Peruvian restaurant in Elizabeth, NJ called El Iman (The Magnet), run by a dedicated family of Japanese-Peruvians. They do a land-office business with local Peruvians.
Here's one of my old posts about it:
Since then I've been there at least 20 times and have found that there are definitely clunkers on the menu -- for instance, noodle dishes and pork dishes aren't that great. I should mention that their beef fried rice is some of the best I've ever tasted. If you go, make sure you get extra of their green spicy sauce.
Here's the menu. The takeout menu doesn't have prices (but prices are very reasonable):
I got takeout from there Sunday night. Here are some pics:
Bistec Encebollano
Yuca a la Huancaina
Mariscos Picante
Pollo a la Brasa
Pardo's is on 7th Avenue South in the West Village. Popular chain in Lima, with good (and cheap for NYC) pollo a la brasa. Never been to pio pio. If not, just go to downtown Paterson if you don't care about ambience and there are a ton of cheap peruvian places with all the dishes you can think of.
re: dreastarlet
Take a trip to the Jersey side into Paterson where there are several good places especially La Tia Delia on Market Street at Mill. For Chicken El Chevere in Passaic (Washington Place).

Facebook tinkered with users' feeds for a massive psychology experiment
Scientists at Facebook have published a paper showing that they manipulated the content seen by more than 600,000 users in an attempt to determine whether this would affect their emotional state. The paper, "Experimental evidence of massive-scale emotional contagion through social networks," was published in The Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences. It shows how Facebook data scientists tweaked the algorithm that determines which posts appear on users' news feeds—specifically, researchers skewed the number of positive or negative terms seen by randomly selected users. Facebook then analyzed the future postings of those users over the course of a week to see if people responded with increased positivity or negativity of their own, thus answering the question of whether emotional states can be transmitted across a social network. Result: They can! Which is great news for Facebook data scientists hoping to prove a point about modern psychology. It's less great for the people having their emotions secretly manipulated.
Uh, what?!
June 26th 1994 - Aerosmith releases "Head First" on the internet
Aerosmith is first major band to premiere a new song on the Internet. "Head First" was downloaded to over 10,000 CompuServe subscribers within its first eight days of availability.
I wasn't able to find the file size that was uploaded but Given that the average user had a 28.8 kbps modem it's likely that the song took 20-30 minutes to download.
Here's what's weird "Head First" is not a popular song. Actually, the song is so obscure that it doesn't even have it's own wikipedia page (though it is sometimes incorrectly mentioned as a "Cryin'" b-side). Nice to see that even in the early days of the internet, no one was able to manufacture popularity. Internet users are a mysterious bunch and you'll never know what's going to blow up, and what's going to flop. Even when Aerosmith, one of the biggest bands in the world, released a new song on the internet it didn't gain any traction. At least the internet is consistent.
Remember when it took 20-30 minutes to download a song? Now I download an album in about a minute. I love living in the future.
A Eulogy for Twitter
Once you get passed the title of this piece, which is a bit bombastic, it's actually a really great look at Twitter, and how humans have dealt with and used social networks on a broader scale. It only occasionally reads like the "Twitter is dead" message implied in the title, but when it does, it really hits home.
Twitter has done for social publishing what AOL did for email. But nobody has AOL accounts anymore.
Anyway, you should read this.
It's time for the FCC to stand up for Americans instead of ruining the internet
Oh boy. TC Sottek just published an editorial on the failure of the FCC. Earlier today the WSJ reported that the FCC is planning on proposing new 'net neutrality' laws that fly in the face of everything that net neutrality is.
The internet is fucked, and the US government is making it worse.
Political cowardice caused the FCC to lose its first battle for net neutrality regulation: the rules that keep the internet as you know it free and open. The idea of net neutrality is that all traffic is created equal — whether you're a movie streaming from Netflix, or a WhatsApp message, or a Tweet, or a bulletin board message. But according to a report from the Wall Street Journal, instead of trying to correct the errors it made in open internet rules the first time around, the FCC will consider enacting new rules that directly destroy the principles of net neutrality. The proposal would allow profit hungry behemoths like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon to become gatekeepers that give preferential treatment to companies that pay the most for special access to customers.
I know I freaked out when Netflix decided to pay Comcast to ensure it's customers could stream movies, but it was for good reason. With this new agreement corporations can pay to get preferential treatment. It's basically the worst idea ever. Read TC's editorial.
Amazon Prime price jumping to $99 in the US
Amazon is about to raise the price of its Prime membership service for the first time ever in the US, bringing the cost up to $99 per year, $20 above where it's been for nearly a decade. The price change goes into effect on April 17th, and those signing up or renewing their service before then will still be able to pay the original, less-expensive price for a final year.
I suspect, that this has everything to do with streaming and nothing to do with shipping. I just worry that soon we'll hear that Amazon is paying Comcast and AT&T so their streaming goes uninterrupted, just like Netflix. And we all made that possible.
Newsweek's print mag is back! Our 1st issue hits news stands on 3/7. So excited!
Seems like a step backwards, no? #longlivetheinternet
(via theatlantic)
So there's the entire problem, expressed in four simple ideas: the internet is a utility, there is zero meaningful competition to provide that utility to Americans, all internet providers should be treated equally, and the FCC is doing a miserably ineffective job.
Read. Email. Call.
The internet is fucked
Nilay Patel explains why Netflix paying Comcast and Verizon is bad for the internet, why they feel they had to do it, and (more importantly) how we've gotten to this place.
Here's a simple truth: the internet has radically changed the world. Over the course of the past 20 years, the idea of networking all the world's computers has gone from a research science pipe dream to a necessary condition of economic and social development, from government and university labs to kitchen tables and city streets. We are all travelers now, desperate souls searching for a signal to connect us all. It is awesome.
And we're fucking everything up.
In the meantime, the companies that control the internet have continued down a dark path, free of any oversight or meaningful competition to check their behavior. In January, AT&T announced a new "sponsored data" plan that would dramatically alter the fierce one-click-away competition that's thus far characterized the internet. Earlier this month,Comcast announced plans to merge with Time Warner Cable, creating an internet service behemoth that will serve 40 percent of Americans in 19 of the 20 biggest markets with virtually no rivals.
And after months of declining Netflix performance on Comcast's network, the two companies announced a new "paid peering" arrangement on Sunday, which will see Netflix pay Comcast for better access to its customers, a capitulation Netflix has been trying to avoid for years. Paid peering arrangements are common among the network companies that connect the backbones of the internet, but consumer companies like Netflix have traditionally remained out of the fray — and since there's no oversight or transparency into the terms of the deal, it's impossible to know what kind of precedent it sets. …
If you read one article today, it should be this one.
Verizon CEO says he expects Netflix will sign deal to pay them as well
Verizon's CEO wasted no time in announcing that the company expected to strike a similar bargain [to the one Netflix has with Comacst]. On CNBC this morning Verizon's chief Lowell McAdams revealed that Netflix and Verizon have been in talks for almost a year now, and that he expects to finalize a deal soon. "If you see someone come in with a lot of load on the internet, [with] video, you've got to get that in an efficient place. So making the connection far out on the network is a good thing, and frankly, paying for it," said McAdams. "To me this shows you don't necessarily need a lot of regulation in a dynamic market here. By doing these commercial deals we'll get good investments and good returns for both parties."
These deals have proponents of net neutrality up in arms, and seem like a stark contrast to Netflix's stated position from last month, when it threatened to provoke customer outrage if it had to pay to stop the degradation of its traffic. The recent Comcast announcement that it would purchase Time Warner Cable, along with expectations of further consolidation in the cable industry, may have been a tipping point in the ongoing negotiations between Netflix and the companies that carry its video traffic.
Netflix is really screwing over consumers here. This is exactly the reason why we need net neutrality. Hulu, Amazon and anyone trying to start a new streaming service is now going to be forced into making similar deals or face bullying from the carriers / ISPs. You can basically say goodbye to innovation, and count out any new companies from entering the streaming game.
Netflix, for the love of the Internet, please stop this.

Best Kids Parties: Firsts & Photos
My Party: Amelia Bettie (Long Beach, CA)
You took a thousand photos of your baby's first year; why not use them? Andrea did as well as many homemade touches. She shares: I spent many hours scouring all my favorite online sites for inspiration for Amelia's first birthday. I knew I wanted it to be girly, fun, and unique without having a specific theme.
I wanted her party to have a "homemade backyard barbecue/picnic" feel. The fabric I used to create the pennant flags became my inspiration. I am a scrapbook paper junkie so of course I had to tie in lots of paper decorations. I made fun pinwheels to use to line the driveway and as centerpieces and a circle garland to hang along the block wall.
I baked my very first two layer cake to display a handmade cake topper. One of my favorite decorations was the door and window that I adorned with photos of all of "Amelia's Firsts". I used vintage sheets in a variety of patterns as tablecloths and also as "picnic blankets" on the grass. The kids had a blast playing in the pool of balls, making bookmarks and photo frames, and blowing giant bubbles. It was a wonderful way to celebrate Amelia's first year!

We love you Little A! We had a blast at your awesome birthday party!
I am nervous yet excited at throwing my first real birthday party for our little one Bella. No, the older ones didnt get "real" parties. Only parties thrown at commercial venues like Chuck E Cheese etc. Can't wait!
love this! would you mind sharing where you got the pink curtains? please?!?!?
Of course! I got the curtains on the Land of Nod website...I'm pretty sure they still have them!

4 day trip to Toronto - suggestions for must-eats?
My girlfriend and I will be visiting Toronto from Australia for 4 days in two weeks time. We will be staying in downtown, near St George station.
I am checking out the older threads here for information and questions similar to mine, but if someone can have some suggestions that would be really helpful for me as a starting point.

re: prima
while caplansky's has its own location and a full fledged out menu of its own, i'd skip it and go to the free times cafe instead and get the goldin's smoked meat sandwich there. for background info, goldin only really does this smoked meat and so the free times has allowed him a little space to sell it publicly. otherwise i think caplansky's just isn't what it used to be... and i don't mean the monarch days.
re: pinstripeprincess
Thanks for mentioning that, pinstripeprincess. Looks like it's time for me to revisit Free Times Cafe, and give Goldin's smoked meat a try ;-)

320 College St, Toronto, ON M5T1S3, CA
re: pinstripeprincess
Have you eaten the Goldin's sandwich at FT or only had Goldin's at home? I've had Goldin's at home — great! — but both times I tried it at FT, it was improperly re-heated and incorrectly cut. A waste of good product.
re: littlelam
thanks justpete and littlelam! ;-)
I'd divide your meals into three:
1. dining experiences
2. ethnic food you won't get in Australia
3. cheap lunch/dinner on occasion so you don't break your bank account
For dining experiences:
Black Hoof (not far from you)
Guu (a 10 min walk from you)
Splendido ($100 a person, i'm afraid. but its close to you)
Marben (nice Ontario take on comfort food)
Beast (not expensive and its higher end food)
Foxley - not far from you (subway and street car away. about 30 min travel time). value for what you spend is excellent. Two can dine quite well and have a glass of wine each for $100
Ethnic food:
not sure what floats your boat, but not sure if you can readily find Ethiopian or French food in Australia. I assume that Indian or Asian food is easily found
Cheap food: Tacos el Asador (closeish to you), etc.

re: atomeyes
I'm not sure we can readily find French food here. ;-). Ha Ha.
Would think Australian cities have their fair share of bistros. Of course, that doesn't mean that visiting Australians won't love our bistros. Luckily, we have lots of those. ;-)
I'd say that if you're from Australia, you would probably want to try some cuisines that the city excels at that may not be as good as in Australia.
Toronto is very multi-cultural so I would take advantage of the different ethnic cuisines available, including Indian, Ethiopian and Mexican. Since Australia is close to East Asia and has lots of Asian immigrants, I don't think you'd be wowed by our Asian cuisine though Asian restaurants in the city are definitely a strong point in Toronto.
I'd recommend going to three casual (and small) ethnic restos for lunch: Gandhi for Indian curries stuffed in house-made rotis, Lalibela for Ethiopian, and Tacos El Asador. These places aren't too far from where you'll be staying. Gandhi is extremely small, mainly take out, but their Queen St. and Bathurst St. location can be accessed by taking the subway east to Bathurst station from St. George, then taking the Bathurst streetcar down to Queen. Lalibela is at Bloor and Ossington, so just take the Bloor line to Ossington. Also, Tacos El Asador is in Korea Town, just east of Christie Station, also on the Bloor Line.
Good luck!

Wow! Thank you all for the quick and helpful replies!
Will check all these out and post back with any further questions regarding recommended dishes to order at these restaurants.
For the famous restaurants, our budget would be $100-150 pp, the $30-50 budget pp from my OP was for a normal lunch/brekkie meal.
We are definitely keen to try one or two fine dining places, so will do some reading/research on this also.
re: ausfoodie
there's a lot of information to absorb here but i'd still strongly suggest sifting through old posts, especially ones directed to tourists, so that you can determine what your location in aus does well vs what we do well and have that is unique to make the most of the few days that you'll be here. we have an amazingly diverse communities, but sometimes not enough of one to support high quality versions of that cuisine.
one item that wasn't mentioned, which i'm a bit surprised by is poutine. while a francophone dish, it is uniquely canadian. i think your best option for it downtown is the great burger kitchen on church street. the burgers aren't anything interesting, but with the portion of poutine you get it can easily make a meal for 1 and a huge snack for two.
if you have the opportunity, not far from there is the st lawrence market (closed sunday). i like wandering markets and find that each country/major city has their own unique way of putting them together.
re: pinstripeprincess
I agree that if you have the time, you should definitely check out St. Lawrence Market. It's a great place to wander around in.

re: pinstripeprincess
Completely agree with you pinstripeprincess on that point. Am still reading through older posts directed at tourists. I am determining which cuisines are done well and unique in Toronto that doesn't necessarily excel back in Aust.
Thanks for pointing out St Laweence market, will definitely check it out as we would love to compare and contrast to other markets we've been to.
re: ausfoodie
st lawrence markety (slm) is best experienced on a saturday morning when the north farmers market is open. it is not open sundays, just so you can plan around it a bit.
i think that in the end, you might find our west inidies, south east asian, and maybe chinese or middle eastern dining experiences the most compelling and accessible downtown. i hestitate on the vietnamese front.
re: pinstripeprincess
GBK's poutine's are very large for the price. I haven't been to the Church location since I'm closer to Riverdale. To give some perspective on pinstripeprincess' description, the poutine was served in an inverted 9 or 10 inch food plate covers lined with parchment paper and filled with their fries and toppings. They also have a poutine of the day offering something different every day that can be hit or miss.
If you want a variety in poutine then Smoke's Poutine is close to you as well ausfoodie!

re: ausfoodie
I also noticed that you posted on the Boston and NYC boards. Are you traveling to those cities around the same time? If so finding out what each does well in comparison to the others would help you focus on eating what is best at all times.
For example the recommendation of Mexican above may be a decent one in general for someone traveling from Australia, but while NYC and Boston are hardly hotbeds for Mexican cuisine, they are still far better than Toronto in that respect.
Enjoy your trip, there are some great recommendations on all three boards.
re: Matt H
We will be going to NYC and Boston before arriving in Toronto. Our aim is to try and cover the food that is unique to each city - lots more reading to do!
re: ausfoodie
Beast can be done on the cheap if you go wed-fri from 4-6pm for their small plate menu.
on the weekend you can get a TTC day pass for $10. Good for unlimited rides for 2 adults.
I would strongly recommend the Cantonese options uptown if you're willing to trek up there. If not, then have dim sum at Lai Wah Heen. Assuming you're not from an Aus city w/ a strong Cantonese population like Sydney/Melbourne. This is def something we do better than Boston or NYC. NYC owns us on northern Chinese cuisine (ie noodles/dumplings etc).
Have a Katz pastrami in nyc then come up and compare it w/ Goldin's at Free Times Cafe. That should be fun.....
Don't bother w/ pizza here if you're going to be in NYC. Make sure you go to Difara's in BK, do not miss it for the world.
Splendido is the closest we got in comparison to the nyc fine dining scene. Still think your money is better spent in NYC than here for that style.
Black Hoof would be cool to check as a companion to DBGB or Cafe Boulud. You can compare the charcuterie from each of the city's best.
Guu will be fun, but again, there are way more izakaya options available in nyc. Just the Totto empire alone can wipe us out.
If you like beer, I suggest you check out Bar Volo, Beer Bistro, C'est What, Smokeless Joe's and Victory Cafe.

re: aser
still not sure why people suggest Goldin's at Free Times. i think that's a big mistake, but whatever.
Instead, if Free Times is doing Stella's Sunday Brunch, I'd jump all over that. $15 (I think) for all you can eat Jewish food. excellent vegetarian lunch. plus there's usually a klezmer band playing.
Bar Volo is EXCELLENT for Ontario (and world) beer. They have cask and draught ON beer that you cannot find anywhere else. and their food also looks like its pretty good (only gone there for drinkies).
and SLM is worth a peek. after going to Boston's market (I'm sure you'll check it out), SLM may look ugly in comparison. In my opinion, SLM is nice for a 30 minute side trip. but if you're not buying raw meat or fish, its not the best of places to visit. Cooked food options are ok.

re: atomeyes
I still love the St. Lawrence Market, even when I'm not shopping for meat and fish. And on Saturdays, when the North market is open with the farmers market, I can spend a couple of hours wandering and spending.

re: atomeyes
Drinks at Volo yes, food nope.
re: atomeyes
Well what can you do, they're tourists. They can't exactly pickup a brisket from Goldin's home and boil it for 3 hrs in their hotel. No doubt taste wise it's far better to deal w/ him directly. I still like Free Time's sandwich more than Caplansky's, which has dipped a lot imo.
As for food at Volo, better to eat at Beer Bistro if you want to combo food/beer.

re: ausfoodie
If you're keen to try some of Toronto's fine dining places, I'd recommend you keep Canoe in mind, as well as Chiado, Lai Wah Heen, Scaramouche and Splendido, which have already been mentioned.
Canoe has quite a uniquely Canadian contemporary/continental menu, as well as a beautiful view.

I'm a huge fan of Adega ( http://www.adegarestaurante.ca/ ). I have never had a bad meal there. Service is excellent. Its easily accessible via Subway. I take any friends from away there an they all love it. Its reasonable priced, Portuguese/Spanish style food. (There specialties is Octopus or the Cataplana (stew.. my fav))
If you like seafood, this is a must in my books.

re: domesticgodess
I've been a bit disappointed as well with Poutinis. Their flavors have been milder as of late as the gravy is loosing alot of the body. Have they changed the stock they are using to make the gravy? Looking at the menu I can see that they are feeling the pressure from other places like Smoke's. When they first open they just claimed about being authentic Quebecois Poutine with nothing fancy and now they have a pulled pork poutine as well. Don't get me wrong, I think they make a great poutine for late night partying. Nothing better in the middle of the night than a handful of hot goopy, french fried, meaty goodness in your palms!
1112 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6J, CA
Hey there! Whereabouts in Oz are you from? I recently did a 6 week eating blitz, er I mean trip, around Australia.
The suggestions here are right - your Asian offering blows ours away, particularly for Thai and Malaysian. And Japanese. If you're looking for things that are unique Canadian, I'd opt for a poutine, a peameal bacon sandwich [SLM or O&B Canteen], and perhaps have some good smoked salmon [although we wont really represent the best of Canadian smoked salmon, which you'll find on the coast - Kristapsons, and I heard that Whole Foods has a good offerinng - not sure though. Actually, I really recommend the salmon as I found Ozzie salmon to be very different than ours - I much prefer Cdn]
As for Poutine - I don't find it particularly tasty from here, kind of gross actually, but it's like going to Harry's Cafe for pie. You go at 2AM when everyone is rowdy and obnoxious (yourself included) and chow down on some greasy fries, heavy gravy and cheese, and random toppings. Right below is my preferred nosh, Burrito Boyz for a halibut burrito.
I personally recommend:
- Black Hoof
- Canoe (pricey, but the view is great, I'd do this in lieu of the CN Tower)
- Nota Bene's Wagyu Burger (I only say this because I was sorely disappointed by a highly-blogged about one in Sydney. This place does it RIGHT)
- Beer Bistro for mussels
You will have more Mexican options in NYC, but give us a try at Agave y Aguacate and have a wander around Kensington Market.
When are you coming? Check online for possible food festival dates.
Good food that won't 'wow' you as there's plenty of it in Oceania (well NSW anyways)
- Guu
- Lai Wah Heen [based on reviews, not personal experience - I've enjoyed Crown Princess Fine DIning for Dim Sum, but recent bleh reports make me hesitant to rec]
- Pizzeria Libretto - great pizza, I personally pref over Queen Marg
- Stockyards [but you come from the land of BBQ...]
SLM is def worth a wander. If you're from Sydney, you'll find our Chinatown very diff from yours - it's more "mainland" I feel relative to, what i felt, your more HK-influenced ChiTown. I am not really in agreement, but a few fellow Canadian travellers whined that they missed our bacon. I didn't actually eat bacon in Australia except a couple times at hostels, and I don't remember them being horrible. But I guess try ours out :P
However, either way, enjoy your trip!

re: ekim256
I was haughtily corrected about my thai comment :P
I haven't tried it, but I heard great things about Khao San Road. I've tried the chef's cooking at her previous restaurant so I can definitely vouch for her :D Just a note. Om nom nom nom
Khao San Road
326 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1P7, CA
re: ekim256
I would not recommend any Asian restaurants here, especially with you guys from Australia. So no Guu, no Lai Wah Heen, no Khao San Road. While these places are decent, you guys are so close to Asia anyway and these places really aren't unique to Toronto dining.
Neither would I recommend anything upscale. It's partly a personal preference but upscale is pretty much the same around the world except for the few exceptional locations. If you're doing NYC then pick a place or two there.
With that being said, I personally believe Toronto does mid-range exceptionally well. Places like Black Hoof, Parts and Labour, Enoteca Sociale, Marben, Local Kitchen, Beast, Ici Bistro, Salt Wine Bar are places that are most interesting, and they don't fall prey to the usual "other cities do it better" trap.
Toronto is about ethnic diversity and other stuff. Some of our best restos (particularly the ethnic ones) are off the beaten track, and often in the burbs, and while the list of MUSTS is pretty extensive, here are some of my favourites.
Drinks/Patio/People watching: Ultra's patio on Queen West for drinks before dinner. Can't vouch for the food, but the patio is kind of magical, even if the crowd is a bit plastic. Also LOVE the patio (food's pretty good too) at The Drake on Queen West –more bohemian style… Hopefully someone else will add more recent hot spots to my suggestion. Torontonians LOVE their patios in the summer.
Burrito Boyz: I LOVE these guys! One of the tastiest and best values in the city. Get the halibut burrito… cheap, deelish, fast. Not licensed though. It would be the absolutely PERFECT meal if you could sneak a beer in with you while you ate it.
Chinatown: Asian Legend, Dundas Street: I'm sure I'll get some flack for this as Toronto is serious about their Asian food. I LOVE their dim sum – all fresh, hand-made and you can see the kitchen from the dining room. Get the beef pancake and steamed vegetarian (I'm not a vegetarian) dumplings – chock full of fresh greens and actually makes me feel healthier afterward. Clean, fast, decent prices. Great for lunch or for a late breakfast. You can also visit Chinatown and drop by the AGO before or after… By the way, Chowhounders also love Rol San, Kowloon, and LWH (see acronym on CH) in Chinatown.
Kensington Market: If you're a foodie you HAVE to go to Kensington – beside Chinatown. For food, go to Latin American Emporium on Augusta for their pupusas – made fresh on the spot…. Cheap and deelish… again, a beer on the dirty curb with this would make it a perfect meal. I also like the pulled pork naan wrap at Freshwood Grill in Kensington, but I know there are lots of great places to eat in Kensington, so enjoy and explore!
Foxley, Ossington: There are a bunch of super cool restos on Ossington, also love Libretto – Ossington is the IT street in TO right now, but can't help but love the food at Foxley for creativity. MUST HAVE the outstanding crispy shrimp (lime leaves, etc…) and sticky ribs. I think about them more often than I should.
Athen's Pastries, Danforth: NOT on the Michelin list, but for a cheap and DEELISH lunch or travel snack you HAVE to try their spanokopita, tiropita – made hourly (I swear), always hot, fresh, and cheap. You'll also get a chance to see our Greek neighbourhood. You will dream about these babies long after you're home - promise.
Pearl, Queen's Quay: Can't beat the waterfront view, except maybe in Australia – also an important place for tourists and locals alike to enjoy dim sum. Personally I don't think the dim sum here is the best, but don't get CHer's started on THAT subject. The view is great, and the place is absolutely lovely, little carts tooling around, very good service. Go a sunny day and see our humble waterfront.
Free quality bar snacks: When you need to rest your dogs, go to The Roof Lounge at the Park Hyatt, Avenue Road. Beautiful hotel, beautiful outdoor rooftop patio and beautiful free bar snacks – huge brazil nuts, fancy Asian trail mixes and big spicy olives. Mmmmm…. If Noel is there ask him about the time that… oh, never mind.
I could go on and on, but I'll stop now. Hope you let us know where you end up going. Hope you have a great visit!

p.s. if you're not renting a car (parking costs can add up quickly here), get a TTC day pass and plot out your food journey. All downtown restos are easily accessible. Public transit is great here, except during rush hour. Also, if you're around St. George, you "could" walk to the Park Hyatt, Chinatown, etc., but given that you're only here four days, take transit or cabs to save time.

November 3, 2012: PRISM Director Carl Norgard and investigator Brian Heath were mentioned in a newspaper article entitled, Groups seek proof in a world of darkness. The article centered around PRISM's investigation of the Ball Cemetery in Springfield, Nebraska and was written by World-Herald Leader Staff Writer Mike Bell.

Recent Media
October 31, 2012
PRISM director Carl Norgard and lead investigator Kelley Kennedy were interviewed on Halloween 2012 on Omaha, Nebraska's Q98.5 FM on the Pat & JT in the Morning radio show. Several new EVPs from the historic Squirrel Cage Jail were played.
On June 22, 2012, PRISM investigated at a Private Residence in Omaha, NE. Investigators present were Carl, Kelley, Bo, Brian, Karen, Jeremy and Shannon. The home owner also stayed for the investigation, but her children and husband left the location.
The owner's claims were of a nuisance ghost named Fred who made noises and scared her, her children and the family dog. The owner wanted the house cleansed. We made sure to tell her that cleansing a house can sometimes lead to more paranormal activity. Permission was given to gather as much information as possible prior to cleansing the house for the home owner using sage and holy water.
The home owner contacted PRISM and asked us to return for additional assistance in September.
After PRISM's first visit, the home owner experienced an angry evil spirit as did her children. It had gotten to the point that the children refused to sleep in their rooms. Both the family and members of PRISM felt that the "prankster spirit" had left the establishment and allowed an evil spirit to take its place.
On September 28, 2012, PRISM investigators Carl, Kelley, Bo and Lisa went back out to the home to conduct a second investigation. During the evening, all investigators felt uneasy and Investigators Kelley and Lisa both heard growling throughout the night. After the investigation, PRISM conducted a thorough cleanse, once again using Sage and Holy Water to rid the house of spirits.
In November 2012, the home owner contacted PRISM to confirm that whatever negative evil spirit that was in the home is no longer there. They feel that their house may still be haunted, but all members of the family are able to sleep in their own bedrooms and do not feel threatened by whatever may be sharing the home with them.
Audio Evidence #2
This EVP was captured on September 28, 2012, during our second investigation. The recording took place in the children's room located at the back of the house. PRISM investigators present at time of recording are Carl, Kelley, Bo and Lisa.
A child's voice can be heard talking over Carl's voice.
No one in the room physically heard the child's voice. The child's voice was only heard in the recording.

Audio Evidence #1
This EVP was captured on June 22, 2012, during our first investigation. The recording took place in the children's room located at the back of the house. PRISM Investigators present at the time are Kelley, Brian, Jeremy, and Bo.
The PRISM investigators can be heard having a conversation regarding a medical procedure. Did a spirit attempt to join in on the conversation? No one in the room was talking over Kelley while she spoke about the medical screwdriver and no one physically heard the whispers. The two eerie whispers were only heard in the recording.

Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
Following a four-way pitch, Stand were delighted to be awarded the brand design brief for the creation of the new brand marque for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (formerly Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama). The name change was borne out of a requirement from the organisation to reflect the full disciplines the academy now offer.
The brief was to create a marque that would:
• Link to the concept of different strands making up the whole
• Capture the idea of movement and energy
• Keep traditional focus/heritage with a modern edge reflecting the uniqueness of the organisation.
Stand set out to create a marque that captured the variety of courses on offer at the Conservatoire. We started by trying to find a constant - a visual link between the disciplines. We found this link in the visual language of multi-track sequencers. Software such as Logic, Final Cut Pro or GarageBand use multiple lanes of information to capture performances. We immediately caught onto the notion of channels (bass, drums, vocals, video, scripts and scenes) representing the various department disciplines - which all come together to form the overall performance - the Conservatoire.
The final marque is a vertical representation of these multi-track lanes, forming the letters R, C and S. This is intentionally discreet. The grid also represents Glasgow - the Conservatoire's home. Customised serif typography was chosen to balance and soften the geometric nature of the graphic and this sans/serif interplay is applied throughout the brand literature.
As the brand design developed, stakeholders found meaning in different elements of the vertical blocks - each representing a different discipline of the Conservatoire. We believe that the identity means something different to each individual.

California Sun chord and tabs
Chords and ukulele tabs for California Sun as perfomred by the Ramones. The sound of summer.
I have transposed this to C to make it easier.
The intro is just the chorus chords played through once. We'll see those chords in a minute.
The verse has no chords in the Ramones version. Instead, there is the following riff after each line:
- Well I'm going out West where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long
- Well I'm going out West down on the coast
Where the California girls are really the most
- The girls are frisky in old Frisco
A pretty little chick wherever you go, wooooah
Chorus: (and intro without the words)
And they'll [C] walk, and I'll [F] walk
And they'll [C] twist, and I'll [F] twist
And they'll [C] shimmy, and I'll [F] shimmy
And they'll [C] fly, and I'll [F] fly
Yeah [C] I'll be out there having [A] fun
In the [F] warm Cali[G]fornia [C] sun
Here it is being performed properly: http://ukulazy.tumblr.com/post/40801350/ukulele-california-sun-via-gugug-play-it

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (December 17, 2012) – Rutgers basketball sophomore guard Myles Mack (Paterson, N.J.) was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on Monday after averaging 18.0 points, 4.0 steals and 3.5 assists per game to help the Scarlet Knights to a 2-0 record last week.
This marks the first conference honor for the sophomore. For the week, Mack shot 11-of-17 (.647) from the field, including 5-for-8 from behind the arc. He was a perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe. Against Alabama-Birmingham, Mack neared his career high with 23 points in 33 minutes, adding five assists, five steals and four rebounds.
Mack currently sits among the top 12 in the league in free throw percentage (first, 96.2), three-point field goal percentage (second, 50.0), field goal percentage (sixth, 59.5), three pointers made (eighth, 2.1), steals (11th, 2.0) and scoring (12th, 16.0).
Mack and the rest of the Scarlet Knights welcome Howard to the RAC on Friday, Dec. 21. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m. and will be available live via the web on RVision, presented by AT&T.

MTH wasn't awful today. The snow was actually pretty good but it was definitely spring-like conditions. Soft, but fast slushy stuff. They had a few park features set up, mailbox rail, up-flat wide butter box, shotgun rail was kinda sketchy approach, corrugated pipe and a mild flat down box. Most of the mountain was open, but there were some brown spots/grass showing just about everywhere. The rain wasn't bad, mostly it was just mist for a few hours, but it did start to rain pretty heavily right when we were leaving at 430. The rest of this weekend looks like shit with rain & 40-degree high temperature what's left of the snow will be soft and slow probably.
The forecast moving beyond the weekend looks a bit more favorable with a really cold spell in the works so hopefully they can get some more snow blown on these slopes.
I don't think I'll be riding midweek this week, heading up to Treetops in Gaylord this coming weekend for a few.

NHL Thoughts : Easter Weekend
First things first.. a story. I'm home for Easter Weekend hanging with the fam. Last night we went to an Italian restaurant. Someone taps on my dad's shoulder. It's Pavel Datsyuk. He says hi to the family & then this conversation happens:
My Mom - Pasha, you're looking thing. Hope you got some pasta!
Pavel - I'm on a diet.
My Dad - Pasha, hope you got a nice wine to accompany your meal.
Pavel - It's too expensive.
I wish he could be this funny in English (he's getting much better but just isn't the same). He's a great hockey personality.
Ok, now the thoughts:
- Watching Game 5 Caps/Rangers — Mike Green blocks a shot with the side of his head. Leaves & then comes back. If that's not tough, I don't know what is. Hopefully he's OK post-game.
- I like his use of twitter. If I could describe it to someone, I would say "chill tweets". That's just the vibe I get.
- Toews, Toews, Toews. I know I talk about him a lot, but let's be real for a second, the reason the Hawks are making a serious comeback in their series with Vancouver, is because of his talent & his leadership.
- There will be a Game 7.
- I'm assuming MAF is feeling pretty crappy today. Could've closed it up today & it didn't happen. I believe in situations like these (as I've seen MAF do it before), he will bounce back. He is so good at ending a game & leaving it in the past. I still think the Penguins will win this series. Next game.
- Back to Caps/Rangers real quick .. just because it's real time. I can't help but be extremely happy for Bruce Boudreau. Maybe I'm biased, but he is such a hard-working man that lives & breathes Capitals. He believes more than anyone else (Ted Leonsis is very close behind, as is George McPhee), but Bruce deserves so much credit for turning this team around & changing the system. Props BB. Big props.
- Rangers — I feel the most for Henrik Lundqvist. In September, I interview Henrik at the NHL Store in NYC. I was told not to talk too much about the previous season because of how heartbreaking it was.. so I phrased the question a little differently. "How do you build off of last season into the new one & what changes need to be made?" Henrik wasn't offended and instead answered with a heartfelt response. He was still hurting from the shootout loss to Philly, and even as optimistic he was for the upcoming season, the memory was ingrained in his brain. I can't help to think that right now, the pain is tripling .. So I feel for you Henrik. It'll happen one of these days.
- Bobby Ryan's goal was so sick that I can't even describe what type of sickness it is. It stinks Ducks lost but the goal is a winner. 'Nuff said.
- I'm picking Sharks. I said I cheer for individuals. My Sharks individual is Todd McLellan.
Ok. That's it for now. I am beyond excited (again) for Habs/Bruins tonight. Don't ask why. Just accept.

The Felice Brothers may sound like they're from the Ozarks but the New York band's folk certainly isn't sleepy.
The Felice Brothers fuse country and folk and rock all into their own brand of sometimes fun party music, and sometimes beautiful and heavy ballads. The New York band's carefully crafted lyrics tell vivid stories and create imagery that make them a true joy to see live. The band is joining Conor Oberst for four California dates starting on Tuesday, so it is rumored that the former Bright Eyes frontman will be performing with the band tonight.

Forward-looking statement
In United States business law, a forward-looking statement or safe harbor statement is a statement that cannot sustain itself as merely a historical fact. A forward-looking statement predicts, projects, or uses future events as expectations or possibilities. These statements can often be misleading, as they can be mistaken for factual statements, while they are actually speculation. According to US Code 15 Section 78u-5, a forward-looking statement can include statement of any of the following: future economic performance (ex: revenues, income, etc.), plans for future operations, or use of a report written by an outside reviewer.[1]
United States law[edit]
Under U.S. law, section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, businesses must comply to standards of communication that limit risk factors. These acts were put into place partially to protect investors from ambiguous language, preventing them from making a poorly-informed investment decision based on speculative statements.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. Businesses usually include a form of a disclaimer that states that any instance of a forward-looking statement found in their material is only true at the time it was written, and they further claim that they are under no obligation to update such written statements if conditions change or that unexpected occurrences happen to affect the statement afterwards. Such forward-looking statements, however, must be identifiable by the use of certain prescribed words. This act allows companies to make speculative statements based on current market trends or research directions without fear of major repercussion, while ensuring that potential investors are informed of the speculative nature of the statements.
Linguistic perspective[edit]
Sentences and phrases are forward-looking statements when they include any tense from present to future or similar inflection. Words, such as "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "predict," "may," "hope," "can," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "is designed to," "with the intent," "potential," the negative of these words or such other variations thereon or comparable terminology, may indicate forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward looking.
Examples of forward-looking statements[edit]
Below are some hypothetical examples of forward-looking statements:
- Company X plans to build a new facility in Asia by 2018, expanding our current market share.
- We anticipate the value of our company to continue to rise for over the next few years, increasing dividends for shareholders.
- We predict that our product will revolutionize the healthcare industry, improving the quality of healthcare for millions of patients.
