Birmingham Getting a FLIP BURGER
- SkippyLeBeef Sep 1, 2009 08:22 AM
Anyone ever eaten at one in ATL?
From BBJ:
Partners of Flip Burger Boutique are investing about $850,000 to open their high-end restaurant concept at The Summit shopping center.
This is the second location for the Atlanta eatery, in what Barry Mills and Ron Stewart hope will be the litmus test for future growth of "fine dining between two buns."
And helping launch the concept locally, as in Atlanta, is partner and one-time contender on the Top Chef reality show Richard Blais, who'll create the modern menu of burgers and the milkshakes from a liquid nitrogen milkshake bar.
Plans call for opening the 5,000-square-foot restaurant in the Summit's newest phase by late fall, less than a year after the two industry veterans opened the first Flip Burger in Atlanta.
The burger on their website looks RAW, LOL: http://www.flipburgerboutique.com/
Geez, another gourmet burger place??? Admittedly, some of the combinations sound interesting (and the milkshakes sound fantastic). However, I'd rather have a more innovative concept or a cuisine that's underrepresented in the city. I realize that the rent at the Summit must be sky-high which prevents most independents from establishing there. And it's the independents that IMHO, serve the more delicious and/or innovative eats.
re: sheilal
My thoughts exactly. Don't they do some research on their competitive set in the market? Let's see we have Baja Burger across the street in the Colonnade, new Hamburger Heavens, What-A-Burgers sprouting up like weeds, awesome "high dollar" burgers at J. Alexander's by Galleria, nifty little mom-and-pop burger at Papa's in Vestavia, decent burger at BOTH TAVERNS at The Summit where these guys are going in...I could go on....
re: SkippyLeBeef
I've been to the FLIP in Atlanta and I have to say I'm VERY excited we're getting one here in Birmingham! I had a chorizo burger there that was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten...I'm feeling good just thinking about it! I also remember having a burger with veal and some crispy onions...also very tasty but not nearly as memorable as that chorizo.
Their shakes are also delicious. When they bring them to the table they're still smoking from the liquid nitrogen. The times I went they only had four flavors, and I tried three of them (pistachio, krispy kreme, and nutella) and the pistachio was no doubt the best one. I see now they have seven on the menu...I hope they bring them to the Bham shop!
re: SkippyLeBeef
These burgers are totally different from anything you have had before.
Just wait and see, I think you are going to be very happy about this addition.
Oh, I am very excited. I have not been to the one in Atlanta, but I have heard good things about it, plus, Richard Blais is just awesome. I have wanted to try his Pate Melt ever since he mentioned it on Top Chef...mmmm. I, for one, love burgers, so bring it on!
I have been to the one in Atlante (in late June) and it was awesome. We sat at the chefs bar...the window to the kitchen with a bar...and it was really cool to watch him add the liquid nitrogen to the gazpacho. The food was great, and really an experience. I promise FLIP in NOTHING like anything in Bham.
I love Flip in Atlanta. The pistachio-truffle milkshake is amazing and the lambburger is phenomenal. Can't wait!
Looks like it's opening next week. Weird opening week but I guess the mall will be packed.
re: pinotboy
Oops, didn't see the blog entry was dated 12/12.
re: pinotboy
I'm already back in GA for the holidays, but some of my friends went last night and really enjoyed it. It sounds just like the one in Atlanta. They complained that the sides and some of the shakes were overpriced. I'd agree about the sides, but I could never manage to eat my burger, shake, and a side in it's entirety...so I usually skip the sides. (Though I did like their fries...the sweet potato tots were too greasy I thought.)
I'll be trying out the new location at the beginning of January, so I guess I'll be more informed then.
My best friend went tonight and thought enough of it that he felt the need to call me and tell me about it right after. He also said it's very reasonably priced, but thinks they'll probably jack up the prices if they stay busy. He only ordered a burger, though. No sides or shake. He said he tasted some other peoples' sides and they were good.
re: bovinekid
We went to Flipburger today Not impressed. Waited nearly an hour for our meal. Krispy Kreme shake was ok. Sex in a glass would NOT be an analogy I'd use (see review in Urbanspoon). Burgers trendy, good, not great. Fried bread and butter pickles and the sweet potato fries were very greasy. Won't be back. Lots of beautiful people there, though.
re: bovinekid
Da beautiful people is Flipburger's aim from the look down to the relenetlessly loud, thumping soundtrack last Friday night. Tattoos seem to be a prerequisite for working there.
We had a great server. Food was good. Milkshakes good, but don't know if they rose to the level of what Vincent would call "a damn good shake." We had the pistachio + white truffle, and the krispy kreme.
Kudos to the use of Benton's bacon. Try anything aty Flip with the bacon. Ask for more on the side. This is the most awesome bacon around I had it on the wild turkey.
I also give credit for sides that venture beyond the usual. I love okra, and liked their tempura-battered whole-fried version. Sauce didn't move me, though.
The onion rings were great, too. My wife thought the sides were greasy. I didn't agree.
But they did have some major hitch in their service. We ordered our shakes soon after we sat down, then kept waiting and waiting. Our server weakly explained that everything was made in-house, including the whipped cream.
Burgers came out. Burgers were eaten. Finally our shakes came out, one at a time, covered with that luscious house-made whipped cream.
If these nitro shakes (and whipped cream) routinely take 20+ minutes to make, warn us.
I look forward to trying the lambburger, ossobuco and I'm tempted to treat myself one day to a korean bbq with wagyu beef.
re: Big Daddy
I know I'm a culinary philistine when I say this: I had a bacon cheeseburger at 5 Guys last night and I enjoyed it WAY more than my burger at Flip. And I didn't have to wait an hour. Great fries, free peanuts, and parking was easy, too. What's not to love? Oh.....no beautiful people or loud music. This economy has me thinking differently, I guess...That and being a codgy 52 year old.
re: curej
We went to 5 guys a couple of weekends back. My husband is a burger purist, only wants the meat, cheese, and bread. No condiments. He declared it was the best he's had.
I like to load my burger down with the works. And I was very pleased with my burger as well.
The fries were fantastic, though a regular order is plenty for the two of us.
Still looking to go to Flip, just for the experience.
re: curej
Does anyone else think the fries at 5G are a little odd? They're somewhere between crispy and squishy, which is just weird. I have only ordered the regular ones, not the cajun ones.
I think their burgers are fine but nothing special. And a place that will only cook a burger well done will never get my vote for best burger. With that said, I haven't tried the Bham 5G yet
re: Dax
The fries remind me of the ones I make at home. I admit I never thought anything about the consitency of the fry itself - as that's how our oddly shaped homemade fries turn out. Guess if you're used to the crispy fry through and through that could be a bit off-putting.
They do fry them in peanut oil, so those with allergies need to keep that in mind.
re: Dax
Man, I love the fries at 5 guys. Have to force myself to stop. Try them with the malt vinegar. Also, IMHO, while good steaks, veal, and lamb are typically best eaten rare or medium rare, ground beef seems to acquire something special when cooked medium to medium well. I love the crispy bits on the surface that are absent on the Flip Burger and its ilk. I'm no expert, but that's what I like...
re: Big Daddy
I had a feeling at Flip in Atlanta that the shakes are always late. Most tables near us welcomed them as desert.
Ours came with our meals because we specified that we wanted them with the meal.
Can you tell a bit more about the okra? I think it may be new since our one time visit. (But we do live four hours away.)
re: shallots
Whole small okra, tempura fried and nicely salted. It has some bland creamy sauce.
re: Big Daddy
I suggest we begin long range planning for a Chowhound spring cookout, including home-made delicious burgers!!
re: Jannae
That would add many new meanings to BYOB.
re: Big Daddy
I went tonight for dinner. It was filled with a mix of families, high school kids, hipsters, pretty people, etc. I didn't get the beautiful people exclusivity vibe at all.
When we arrived at 6:50 it was jumping with a crowd (of 15) waiting up front. Very little waiting space for when it's crowded. Quoted wait time for 2 was about 20 min but we got two seats at the end of the bar within 10 min.
I like the look of the place with the flipped booth/table motif, framed tvs, white leather, etc.
Ordered two burgers, the bleu, caramelized onions,and some type of jam (ordered on the side). Toasted bun is a plus. The burgers are just the right size and priced ok at $7.50 plus $3 for a shared order of delicious (and plentiful for two) fries. They were actually the crispy outside with somewhat squishy inside, which worked for them. I ordered my burger medium but it came out about medium well, which was annoying as I almost ordered the usual med-rare but went with medium in case they erred to the undercooking. It seems the opposite. It was still very juicy, to the point where my napkin was a mess. Darn good burger overall, although will probably go with the bacon cheddar (my date's order, did not try it) next time. Okra looked good but it was a light dinner.
Bar service was fine. Everyone expecting perfect service the first two weeks of opening may be expecting more than they will ever get. Sure, if it's highlands, bottega, etc, I would more likely expect the servers to be on top of their game straight out of the gate, but not a burger joint where two burgers, fries and two soft drinks totaled $25. They did their job, gave refills, asked how everything was (two different bartenders did), asked if we needed anything else.
I'm satisfied and the burger surpassed my recollection of 5G but will give them another shot too. I will return to Flip as well, but I'm not in a hurry to go out 280 to the Summit just to return here.
re: Dax
"Sure, if it's highlands, bottega, etc, I would more likely expect the servers to be on top of their game straight out of the gate, but not a burger joint where two burgers, fries and two soft drinks totaled $25."
Funny you should mention that, as their ads looking for new servers and bartenders (already?!) require "fine-dining" experience. Maybe they're planning on "FLIPping" their entire FOH staff after only a few weeks of being open. This jibes with my friend's prediction that the prices will be going up soon.
re: bovinekid
It's borderline pricy for a burger joint now. If it goes up much, I don't see much reason to drive out there when a different but mostly better burger with great frites is around $11 at FonFon. Sure you don't have the combinations or various toppings, but I do not need much choice on toppings really - I almost always return to bacon and cheese.
re: Big Daddy
Maybe although I do not consider 2 locations a chain, particularly as (from what I understand) this is a larger FLIP and the crowds have been nuts. If this was restaurant #10 or 15 (or even #5), then yes I could buy into that argument.
My co-workers went today and mostly didn't like it at all. I only know on my one visit, the food and service were both great.
re: Dax
I think I started the "beautiful people" thing. I never meant to suggest "exclusivity" in the style of "beautifulpeople.com". They let ME in,after all. Simply put, the place is at the Summit where there is clearly a higher prevalence of the beautiful members of our species. Sometimes as a non-member of that club, I feel a little out of place.
I really enjoyed my experience there. Had a late lunch so there was no waiting. But I agree that there is no waiting area which could be problematic when busy.
Ok, I have to eat my words from my earlier post. My daughter came into town for Christmas and wanted to try Flip. She was very impressed, as was I. The decor is very hip. The house music added to this. It was played at a tolerable level -- didn't make conversation hard. I order the cuban (it was a daily special I think). Pork patty with cilantro and some other stuff. Topped with fresh pickles, provolone (I think), cornichons, and PORK BELLY! It was wonderful. The smoked mayo served with it was awesome! Fries were good, however the sweet potatoe fries my daughter got were a little disappointing. They were described to have been served with chocolate salt. The "chocolate salt" turned out to be ground chocolate making the sweet potatoes just too sweet. It's a shame, because chocolate salt sounds interesting.
Prices were reasonable. So, all in all, I'll go back. It's not destination dining, but some of the combinations they offer are original.
re: sheilal
Wow that Cuban burger sounded good!!!!
Chain restaurants come in all shapes and sizes, inter-city as well as intra-city. But I argue that, once you've set up a franchising program, you're a chain. Applebee's obviously is a chain. But so is Zoe's and Dreamland. That doesn't mean you're not quality food or worth visiting. But you're a chain.
re: Big Daddy
Is this second location franchised or just a second location with all the same owners? We seem to have devolved into semantics here, but, hey, you started it!
re: bovinekid
I believe this is a second location of the same principal owners/investors of the Atlanta location. I disagree on the chain comment and certainly the franchisee comment (two totally different creatures). Becky's has a location in a has station and a tiny shop on 8th Ave. I certainly don't think those two constitute a chain (even more so now that they are unaffiliated ownership-wise). Should you get better glitch-wise on each subsequent location? Certainly. Will things be perfect on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th locations in new cities with new FOH/BOH staff? Rarely.
re: sheilal
OK, maybe I overextended my definition. But what do y'all call it when a single owner has multiple locations of the same concept under the same name -- in the same city or several?
When Zoe's had several locations in the Birmingham area under one set of owners -- before John C broke off and set up the franchises in other states -- was it a chain, an empire, a concept or what?
re: Big Daddy
I'm not saying it won't end up a chain; I just think two links makes a very weak chain. If they pop up in other metro areas in the next few years, well yeah then it would end up as a chain. Surin has six locations in 3 states; I guess it's a chain by now. Semantics.
re: Dax
I agree about the semantics. As I said when I started this debate, being a chain (or whatever) does not preclude being a restaurant that serves consistently good food. Nor does it indicate -- in this day of eating locally -- that your money's leaving the state for some corporate office.
One thing's for certain: I want to try that Cuban burger. I'll just call ahead so they can get a head start on my shake.
re: Big Daddy
Big Daddy, the Cuban was the special of the day. I gathered that they were "testing the waters" on the response it go from customers. Also note that the menu on their website is not exactly what accurate. The menu we were given was an abbreviated version of that on the website. It still had tons of variety, but I recall that it wasn't as "full" as the one shown.
re: sheilal
We're planning on making our first trip to Flip this weekend.
For those who have visited the place, do you remember if they have the sweetbreads on the menu here? I see where not everything listed on the web site is in the B'ham location, so wanted to check,
re: Jannae
Jannae, I don't remember seeing sweetbreads on the menu.
re: sheilal
We were there Tuesday and they weren't on the menu.
re: bluemoon4515
Buffalo sweetbreads were on the appetizer menu last night. Didn't order them, though. We went and were very happy with our RBQ (burger topped with brisket and BBQ sauce) and Veal Parmesan Flip Burgers. My wife got the sweet potato fries which were really greasy but good. Better experience this time than last. The place was only half full, though. Probably because it was 6:00 on a weeknight. Stella on tap was a great pleasure.
One minor gripe that will show how neurotic I am: We had a nice booth seat next to windows looking out over the fantastic vista that Flip Burger and Chuy's share. However, they seat people right outside the window, so you can't gaze out without feeling like you're invading people's privacy. Anyway.....
I went last night with a couple of friends. We were going to go early to miss the crowd, but somebody was late and we got there just in time to wait for an hour, the entirety of which we spent in the tiny waiting area with what was surely a fire-code-violating number of other people.
First of all, it was slightly pricier than I'd realized; I'd have to disagree with my friend's assessment that they will be raising the prices. Same friend, by the way, ordered the second most expensive burger on the menu this trip, the Korean BBQ ($14!), which he proclaimed "maybe even better" than the Steak Tartare burger he'd enjoyed on his two prior visits.
I ordered apparently the same burger Dax did (it also had frisee on it, or at least mine did). Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten lunch or because it was on a large plate, but I thought it seemed pretty small. The server didn't ask any of us how we wanted our burgers cooked, and I didn't offer. I wanted to see what they'd do and figured that a place like this would know not to char it beyond recognition without me having to tell them. The meat was probably slightly more cooked than I might like, but still perfectly within the acceptable doneness range for a burger. Overall, quite good. I just wish there'd been more bites.
I ordered the zucchini fries which were prepared tempura-style, like apparently all of the fried sides apart from the standard french fries. They were not over greasy, and not bad, but nothing special. When I got them, I couldn't remember what the dipping sauce that came with them was supposed to be; it seemed to be just mayo, though I'm sure that wasn't the case. I preferred a friend's smoked mayo that was served with her french fries. I also tasted another friend's sweet potato fries which seemed slightly greasier than my zucchini, but still not too bad. They were dusted with chocolate and came with a ranch-like dip. I was not a fan of the chocolate; I thought it clashed with the dip.
As soon as I got my food, I knew I was going to need to eat more (remember, no lunch; I was starving!) so I ordered a pistachio-white truffle oil shake. I had none of Big Daddy's waiting problems; despite the place still being totally packed out, I got my shake in less than 5 minutes. I'm not really a shake connoisseur, but I do love pistachios and pistachio ice cream; suffice it to say, the glass contained plenty of both.
Employment ads for servers and bartenders require "fine-dining experience." Considering that, service was certainly better than what I'd expect at a casual-dining chain restaurant, but at no point did I feel like I was in a fine-dining establishment. I'm sure the excessive number of people, loudish music (was it "all-MGMT night"?), and the table of teenage girls ordering almost nothing sitting next to me all contributed to this probably more than the service, though. The manager I'd met when I applied for a job here back in November was lurking near our table most of the night since we were seated close to the server station. When our server offered to clear my plate while my companions were still eating, I refrained from mocking his farce of "fine-dining" only because I didn't want to get her in trouble for something so minor. Admittedly, this entire paragraph is more about me being a jerk than about the actual restaurant.
After hearing all of the comments about Chez Fon Fon's better burger, my wife and I "did lunch" there yesterday. Indeed, the burger was excellent. They cooked it medium rare as requested (basically a large disc of steak tartare with a 1/8-1/4" of cooked meat at the periphery). The burger was seasoned perfectly, but was topped with a disappointingly thin slice of Comte' (come on, Frank, cut the cheese thicker!!!). Grilled red onion, tiny pickles, sectioned grape tomatoes, house-made mayonnaise, and romaine (I think) were provided as toppers. The burger bun was very good, but I can't remember many details, so I can't describe it better. Let's say that it was nicely form-fitting to the beef, (not hard, dry, or crumbly), and had nice heft, moistness, etc.
The pommes frites accompanying the burger were good, not great. Far too many short (1") pieces. I prefer more "loomsters" in my order, but maybe I'm showing my lack of sophistication. Or maybe the enormous mutant potatoes from which loomsters are obtained are considered non-organic and therefore heretical by Mr. Stitt. I grew up in the McDonald's generation, though, and that's that. (My wife liked the pommes frites as they were, by the way, noting that they were easier to eat with a fork. How pretentious *snort*).
My wife had the hanger steak with salsa verde. The salsa contained no tomatillos. Frank should know, but I always think "tomatillos" when I think "salsa verde". I know, I'm too small-minded. Anyway, the steak was STUPENDOUS. Really. My wife left me a few morsels and I won't be getting the burger next time we go, I can assure you of that. Yum-O.
So....Chez Burger beats Flip Burger, IMHO. But when I'm hungry for a burger and want to pay less than $50 for lunch, I'm still gonna go see those 5 guys.
The wife and I were down in B'ham yesterday with some time to kill, so we pulled into the Summit on a whim. She's driving and a little unfamiliar with the Summit area, so as she's looking around she says, "You're not going to believe this!" So she wheels the car around, and lo and behold...Flip Burger!
We've been dying to try the original joint since we first heard about it, so needless to say we knew where we'd be having lunch. I ordered the Korean BBQ and she ordered the Flip Burger with cheddar. I'm a huge fan of Waygu beef, so even though $14 seemed pricey for a burger, I knew that the quality of the ingredients had a lot to do with it. Great flavors, but I wanted more...of everything.
More burger, more spare rib, more condiments--more, more, more. It was indeed delicious, and I scarfed the damn thing down like there was no tomorrow...but for $14 bucks I expected this thing to at least fill me up with leftovers for later. I've had other boutique burgers at fine dining joints with twice the oomph for half the price, but they weren't Waygu, so...
Oh, and the fries...flavorful, but not as crispy as I would've hoped (for something supposedly fried in duck fat). LOVED the smoked mayo they came with, though!
Anyhoo, we'll definitely be back, as I'm dying to try the chorizo and the pistachio shake. I admittedly had grander expectations, well...because it's Blais, and we're big fans, but by no means were we dissatisfied with the food. The bartender was cool, helpful, and even brought our To-Go order out to our car when he didn't have to. Customer service like that always ranks high in my book, so even if the food wasn't good (ch'ya, right), we'd give it a second try on account of his extra effort.
I just hope that Blais is dropping in often to ensure that they're meeting the same level of quality and service that he expects when he's working in the kitchen of his own restaurant.
re: ciaohaus
Of course, Wagyu beef always will drive up the price. But as good and inventive as they are, the 5.5-ounce burger is simply insubstantial, especially for the money.
Last night, I enjoyed a Spicy Bayou Burger at Mudtown in Cahaba Heights (http://www.mudtownalabama.com/). We're talking a hefty half-pound burger and a bun that can stand the strain, well-seasoned and cooked to a perfect medium as requested. At $8.99 it was worth every penny and I didn't walk away hungry. In fact I couldn't even finish my crispy onion rings ($1 extra). That and the half-price Liberty School Cabernet made for a great meal. ANd no thumping music.
re: Big Daddy
Wow. Thanks for the heads up BD! Sounds like my next burger target.
re: ciaohaus
UPDATE: Went back to Flip on a recent visit and had the Chorizo burger while my wife had the Tuna tartare as a lettuce wrap (which she liked), but I gotta be honest...the chorizo wasn't all that the posts here had hyped it up to be IMO. Not as spicy as most chorizo I'm used to, but the damn thing weighed heavy on my gut for hours as if it were made of molten lead. Zucchini fries were okay, but not enough of them for the price.
Look, I'm a big Blaise fan, but so far I've yet to be blown away by anything I've tried at FB.
I'll give them one more shot with the Butcher's, but if that one doesn't light up my tastebuds like fireworks then I'm done. I'll take quality over novelty any day.
Hi I'm new to Birmingham and saw this particular restaurant.. may I know how much is a burger entree??
What about the kobe burger?
re: zymorian
Try http://www.flipburgerboutique.com/ Zymorian
Had the Mudtown burger BD. Also excellent. Wife had the fried green tomato sammy.....not so much. Great fries. Nice lunch spot, but parking is a bit of an issue. Waitstaff and manager there really nice folks.
re: zymorian
I want to say the kobe burger was either $23 or $34. It was by far the most expensive thing on the menu. The other burgers are between 5.95 and 9.95. Sides are extra.
re: sheilal
The Kobe burger is $39. I didn't seen any prices that ended in a .95, nor did I notice any burger under $7. They are mostly $7-$10.50, and there is a $14 one as well. Sides are $3-$4. Shakes were $5-$6 or $9 for the foie gras.
re: bovinekid
Is it just me or is $39 for any burger anywhere bat guano insane? Really. Yes, I can afford it. But why?
re: curej
I remember trying the $18 kobe burger at the former Icon. It was the best burger I've had that someone paid for (thank goodnes for expense account.)
Actually, it was a darn good burger; one of the best I've tasted and one of the few where the cheese wasn't just a superfluous lump of tasteless fat (it had this sharp, farmhouse English cheddar).
re: bluemoon4515
Gold-flake mustard too???
re: curej
....there is American Kobe and there is Japanese Kobe and they are very different in terms of quality and cost. Looking at FLIP's menu, their Kobe is A5 Japanese which as far as I know is the highest grade (also most expensive) beef in the world. American "Kobe" which is what you'll find in probably 95% of all Kobe burgers in the USA is just Japanese cattle brought over and raised in America but they aren't raised by the same standards. It's cost and quality are far lower. Just to serve as an example of pricing...there is a steak restaurant near me that serves a 5oz. steak of A5 Japanese Kobe for $55 ....so anyone eating a Kobe burger that costs $18 is most likely eating American Kobe and is getting ripped off big time. American Kobe doesn't cost much more than regular beef. You'll know when you're eating Japanese Kobe because it will be ridiculously expensive, it will be listed on the menu as "Japanese" and will have a rating (A5, etc.). Just having the word Kobe on the menu doesn't tell you anything.
re: greekfire
The menu also has "American wagyu" listed as an ingredient in another burger. So I'd imagine "kobe" would actually be kobe.
re: bluemoon4515
That is correct bluemoon; When you see a reference to "wagyu" here, it is U.S.-raised beef from the famous "kobe" stock, a breed called wagyu.
As for wagyu being "far lower" in quality than kobe, I don't think that's the case. We're not talking about the difference in quality than, say, prime grade and select grade. It is the breed, not the production method, that results in the level of marbeling for which the wagyu is prized.
U.S. producers raise wagyu for sale in Japan as kobe. The biggest factor in the price difference between "wagyu" and "kobe" is in shipping costs.
I had the Butcher Block Burger the other night (carmelized onions, red wine jam, blue cheese) and it was excellent. I was torn between that and the Chorizo Burger which I have also been told by friends is excellent.
My wife had the Tuna TarTar Burger and she liked it but didn't love it. I had a bite and I think I liked it better than she did. The Tuna was incredibly fresh and there was a nice amount of heat to go with the other flavors. I would be excited to go back if the wait wasn't so bad (we went at 6 on a Thurs and sat down within 10 minutes, but there had to be at least a 45 minute wait by 6:30).

Yeah, totally understand why you'd be upset. Really seems like she wasn't thinking -- I agree, someone you haven't seen in 20 years, you should remember is coming to visit you! geez.
I would do as Suja said. She put it perfectly. That way you sound gracious and like the bigger person - you don't want to put her out. And it also makes it sound like you are totally fine with going with the flow and have plenty of other places to stay. She sounds a little self-centered, and you don't want to give her the idea that you can't do just fine without her. (Well, I wouldn't, anyway, but maybe you're not as vain as I am.)
I hope you can work it out so that you can still have a fun trip.
I do find working with children extremely rewarding. I love being the one to teach something new. I remember one little guy (I've probably mentioned this before but it's my big moment of glory!) who started kinder completely nonverbal. I was the one who taught him we used words to interact with people, and not hitting/biting/screaming. I literally - literally - could see the realization dawn across his face right in the middle of the therapy session. "Hey, I understand what she's trying to tell me. I'm supposed to *ask* for that. And she'll just give it to me, without my having to grab it out of her hands!" From then on it just came without my even needing to work all that hard. The end of the school year, he was speaking in sentences and I remember one of the parents asking the TA in his class how he started talking. I heard her saying "I don't know, he just started talking." I worked HARD to make that happen, lady! It didn't just happen!
I honestly can't say anything else I've ever done has been that meaningful. I love that. I do find meaning in that. Then again, the fact that I do find meaning and fulfillment doing that just lets me know that I would probably find parenthood to be more fulfilling than not, even though I know going in it will have it's moments. Another reason it's so frustrating to me.

Speaking of air-I don't typically need or want it, but I learned really fast in this slum apartment on the 2nd floor that if I didn't have 1 it would be 120 upstairs on the hottest days. I could stand it if I sat on my couch (and I'm not opposed to doing so) but it really made my dog sick. So I got an air conditioner for the living room and kitchen area last summer. I hung a curtain to shut off the living room to the hallway, and kept my bedroom door closed. Last summer, my little 5,000 btu window unit did a nice job keeping it cooler for us in this space. But not this year. I was very confused and blamed it on the cheap (probably made in China) AC unit and I bought a 2nd one to put in my bedroom window. Since that space is smaller, I put the 'old' (1 year) one back that and the new one in the living room/kitchen area thinking-it's new. It'll do just as well as the previous one did.
Not! WTF? Now I have 2 AC units running and my living room is still pegged at 90 degrees? I kept checking the thermostat and it was definitely off. Today I finally got wise and put my hand over the heater (which is in my living room) and wouldn't you know the stupid thing had heat coming from it? Not a lot-but probably as much as leaving 2 burners on a propane stove all day long. So I shut the gas off to the heater and wouldn't you know my living room cooled down by 10 degrees in about an hour. smh. This freaking dump. I cannot wait to be out of here.
I feel like I'm stuck between so exhausted I'm not able to move and really hyper. It's like being 4 and trying to convince yourself you're definitely not ready for bed. Physically, I just want to sleep. I want to lay in bed and not move. But my mind won't stop. Why can I never remember this much when business offices are actually OPEN!?!?!
We do have air conditioning but we are both stubborn about using it! Honestly, I just feel like winter is so long and we are cooped up with no open windows that I like to relish the hot summer! During the day it would never work because the kids are in and out all.day and I need to be able to hear them if I am inside. At night, the kids are in the basement where it is very cool and I just deal. Our energy bills are already so high so that is another reason. We are at the beach nearly every day so that's how we cope with the heat!
I guess I feel like I am always hearing people talk about how you must seek an identity outside of being a mom and I just have no desire to separate myself from it. I think the fact that I don't work outside the home makes me feel like this is really basically my only job!
I will complain, however, about how cold the freakin bus is! OMG! It's barely 70 (I think the radio said 68 when I was getting on the bus at 6:45 a.m.) and they had they AC blasting. I was shivering by the time we got to Ithaca. It's ridiculous. We already spend 10 months of the year being cold. Just open the **** windows if you want some cooler air!
I think it's up to each person to identity what makes them happy in life and try to achieve it. What works for me won't work for everyone. I love your life and I'm glad you find fulfillment in it. It makes me happy for you. You're obviously good at it.
You ladies are so chatty it's hard to keep up!
I've been super busy with the kids and work and at home stuff I feel like I don't have any time for anything.
I've been reading but not replying... Sorry!!
I promise, there will come a time when you'll keep coming back here wondering if we all left permanently. It seems like the days (or nights!) I'm really bored, everyone else is occupied and not posting!! Then when life is at its busiest, they're all in here gabbing away!!
Thanks, Chrissy! And I know what you mean about dealing with a/c. When I used to work at a preschool center, I'd walk there and it was so darn hot outside that I'd be sweating and then I'd get there and actually have to change into jeans and a sweater because the a/c was FREEZING.
Hi ladies, I just wanted to check in with you and let you know I made it in to work today with my house and car unmolested after the civil unrest in my neck of the woods last night. They got pretty close to my neighborhood, but I actually didn't see or hear any actual activity, just a lot of tweets about violence nearby, and then I checked the news feeds this morning and it died off shortly after I went to bed. They went back downtown and there were hammer attacks, arrests, and a lot of pictures from the media as they were eventually heading home about how "You know you're working late when the freeways look this empty."
Being that I started out never wanting kids, I did find myself diving head first into it and do love being a mom more than I ever thought I would. I find myself stuck between wanting to stay home and wanting to work. It's weird that I don't know which I would prefer. I don't find my job rewarding though and actually, I don't think I'll ever find any job to be rewarding in that way. I work because I have too, there is no alternative in my world, so having the option taken away from me to choose where I want to be is what makes it so difficult I think.
That is why the prospect of dropping to part time intrigued me so. It would entail 3-10.5hour days from open to close, which is just miserable in and of itself, but being able to spend 4/7 days home with my LOs is appealing. It would also mean that if DH didn't find some level of job security our financial situation would be tight (er, more so than usual).
So glad you are ok, L!
I just wish fall and spring were longer. I love when it's 50/60's during the day and 40's at night. Don't love snow but I would take cold over this nasty hot humid muggy we have going on this week.
L....so glad that things are ok today. I went to bed worried for you guys last night. So scary. And so unnecessary. I mean really what do they hope to accomplish....and even his parents were begging for no more violence.
I don't even know what this winter is you ladies speak of......
It should be noted that the largest group of protesters are the peaceful ones. Always got to be some bad eggs-and they are usually really bad and get portrayed in the media far more than the peaceful ones.
Glad you're okay, L.
I was also trying to follow the news last night, and it does seem like a few rotten eggs are giving the peaceful protestors a bad name.
Yeah, the little I did find said that it was a group of 100 or so that broke off from the peaceful protest. Some people neglect to read and comprehend that part and whenever they see/hear of a protest they think they're all violent and out of control.
If I was the one who had an angry mob heading to my house, I wouldn't give a rat's *** that most of them elsewhere were peaceful.
Still not sure what exactly is being protested. CA doesn't have stand your ground laws or castle doctrine and it seems like that is the issue. I of course don't think it was right in any way shape or form......but it sounds like it was legal in FL. People want to protest, great. Go to FL and protest that law that allowed him to get away with murder.
The defense didn't use Stand your ground, just regular old self defense. I don't think the jury made a mistake. The prosecution did not meet its burden. Was justice done? No.
But yeah, vandalizing property, and harassing people that had nothing to do with anything - that's how to win friends and influence people.
Can I be honest and say I have not followed the whole mess.... I mean, yes, it is local to me, but really.... I just can't let myself be bothered with such things. Self defense against someone who was unarmed is quite hilarious to me.
Stand Your Ground - from my understanding - generally applies when we are talking about your own residence/property and in that version of it, I agree with it whole heartedly.
It's my opinion that we should always give a rat's a$$ and not let the mainstream media brainwash us. But obviously I give the most rat's a$$ about L and her family being safe.
I'm all for peaceful protesting (even though I don't understand the point they are trying to accomplish with this particular one). I'm just saying that if I was in L's shoes....and had a mob heading towards my home and my family, I would be so focused on that....that I wouldn't care at all that everywhere else was peaceful.

I usually do this. How about you?
This 100happydays thing has taught me that being happy is exhausting, but I'm learning to let go of more things.
I love learning new things.
This is the 29th day of my 100 happy days, where I post a picture of a thing that made me happy that day, for 100 days straight. I usually have a hard time pushing through with these kinds of things, but I'm doing okay, I think. (More at http://instagram.com/arabantug )

Glenn Lazarus and Steve Roach look on during a New South Wales training session. Photo: Getty Images
THEY are men not normally used to tip-toeing through anything, yet, quietly and unobtrusively, two of New South Wales' front-row greats have been mentoring the Blues' latest props in an attempt to halt Queensland's state-of-origin dominance.
For several months, since before the start of the NRL season, Steve ''Blocker'' Roach and Glenn Lazarus have been carrying out the instructions of NSW coach Ricky Stuart, getting in the ears of a dozen forwards earmarked to play a role in the series, and to ready the chosen few for Wednesday night.
Roach said yesterday that, while the NSW camp began officially on Monday, extensive reconnaissance work had been carried out in advance. ''We've just been watching their games and keeping in touch with them and talking them through what's required, or what we think they should do,'' he said. ''It's just building that relationship with them.
''And you know the great thing about it? They started ringing us.
''We've got to be careful we don't overload them. It's a simple game, especially when you play in the front row. You know you're going to get a whack around the head, or you're going to get kicked in the head or whatever you've got to do, but you do it anyway.
''You know you're going to get twisted and turned and buckled and belted, but you do it anyway.''
Roach and Lazarus each took ownership of six forwards, predominantly front-rowers, to groom them.
''Blocker called me to tell me what I needed to work on to become an origin player and what I've been doing good already,'' said North Queensland's James Tamou, selected for game one in Melbourne.
''I'd never met him before. He rang me out of the blue. It gave me a bit of motivation. After hanging up the phone, I sat there for five minutes thinking, 'Blocker Roach just called me'.''
Likewise, when Trent Merrin was in Brisbane when the Dragons played the Broncos, Lazarus took him out for coffee. ''Ricky asked Blocker and I if we'd stay in contact with some of the guys we felt were a chance of playing origin this year,'' Lazarus said. ''They all responded pretty well to it.
''We didn't want to get too involved with them, because they've got their club coaches, and we had to be fairly careful what we said, but it worked pretty well.
''Ricky's always trying to maintain the players' hunger to play origin. He's picked 17 guys that he believes want to play for NSW and want to beat Queensland, and want to be a part of origin.
''By us talking to them on the odd occasion, it helped that process.''

Sony woos 'Minecraft' creator with golden PSone, VIP invite to E3
Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson has received an elaborate VIP invite to Sony's Playstation 4 press event at E3: a golden PSone console. Despite Minecraft for Xbox 360 breaking XBLA records by selling over 6 million copies, Notch has been an outspoken critic of Sony's main rival in the console business, Microsoft, largely due to what he sees as the company locking down its once "open" desktop OS with Windows 8 and the Windows Store. The developer also tweeted last week that he was unexcited by Microsoft's new console, noting that he "wanted a game console, not a voice and gesture based tv remote box."

A Piece of Americana worth Every Penny! by Rudy from Ann Arbor on 07/11/2002. Trim: 2001 Plymouth Prowler Prowler, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Only those who own one (because you have to WANT to buy one) can truly appreciate this vehicle. I love mine, and you can only imagine the satisfaction an owner recieves from all the "ooohs" and "ahhhs". My best: three kids hanging out the back window of their mom's car screaming in unison: "We love your Hot Wheel!!!" 'Nuff said.
Cons: No trunk, but then again, I bought the trailer to compensate for this. Other than that, the fact that I can't drive it on bad roads, because I'll feel every pothole!
Overall review: The bottom line is that this car is a genuine piece of Americana. It's going to be my only toy, and I'll enjoy until I leave it as an inheritance. I can't recommend it to everybody, because most people who want a convertible seem to think that they have to perform like sedans. I have absolutely no qualms about its negatives, because its positives have been worth every penny. Thanks, Plymouth!

Pros: Unique, turns heads so fast, people break their necks...
Cons: Hello Manual Tranny???
Overall review: Fun car, but seriously folks, if you're gonna invest in a sports coupe for driving, look at Honda's S2000, BMW's Z3, or even the Audi TT. If you want to turn heads and look cool, get the Prowler.

5 Basic Tips for a Healthier Mac & PC
We've talked about ways to extend the lifespan of your batteries, the life of an older machine, and what automated diagnostics you should run on your PC, but what are some good basic tips that cover both Apple and Windows computers? In this post we take a look at 5 tips we have gleaned from Genius Bar and Geek Squad visits and from our own user experience.
1. Always Keep @ Least 5 GB Free
A computer needs about 10% free disk space at any time. One thing we've noticed on our machines is that anything less than 5GB is going to land us with problems. Essentially, computers need breathing room. Without that free space, there's nowhere for temporary files to be stored. Also, when the RAM gets full, it will start swapping things in and out of memory by using your hard drive. If it's full, then not only can you not save stuff, but your computer has no where to dump stuff from RAM. To top it all off the worst thing that can happen as a result of a drive with no space? Data can get corrupted. Want to find out what applications are taking up a bit of space? We love using DaisyDisk for this purpose. This application is by far the nicest and easiest way of seeing what files are taking up your space on any drive. As you are cleaning out your files, just make sure not to delete any files or folders with the name "Library" in as they normally contain settings and can result in you losing contacts and other media depending on the file. Another great application we love is Xslimmer. Xslimmer gets rid of Intel/PowerPC code and additional language files that your machine doesn't use/need to free up space and improve performance and load times.
2. Really Remove Applications
Since not all applications come with an uninstaller, it's important to really delete the applications you want to remove. For a majority of applications on the Apple side, generally moving them to the trash works well but often they leave other files lying around on your system. To really remove an application on a Mac, Drag and drop an application into a program like AppZapper and it will find all the associated files and remove them for you. It's branded as "the uninstaller that Apple forgot," and we are pretty big fans. For PC users, CCleaner will do a similar job and will also take help take care of #5.
3. Leave Your Computer on Overnight
Would it surprise you to learn that your computer tunes itself up overnight? For example, between 3-5am Mac OS X will run scripts to clear out cache files which in return improve performance. Many of the "tune up" applications that are sold are just running these scripts on demand.
4. Defrag
While this tip is not applicable for Mac users since OS X does defrag automatically in the background, this tip is an important part of the Windows users experience. Check out these posts for more info on how to defragment your hard drive.
5. Remove Unnecessary Login Items
It may not come as a surprise to you that removing unnecessary login items will help your computer run better. Lots of applications will try and make themselves run at startup and this dramatically slows down boot times and also uses up memory which you may need for something else (also it is kind of a nuisance). To remove these on a Mac, go to System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items. Ignore the hide check boxes and just click on the login item you want to remove and click the "-" button underneath. Next time you restart, they won't automatically launch. A good rule of thumb is to leave anything printer related and iTunes Helper as login launch items. Without iTunes Helper, your computer can't auto-launch iTunes when you plug in an iPhone or iPod and this can also disable automatic iOS device backups.
Of course we can't forget:
Backup, Backup, Backup!
As we've said before, the importance of backing up cannot be stressed enough. Hard drives are consumable parts, just like your battery (if you have a notebook computer). They have moving parts, the platters/discs inside usually spin at 5,400 or 7,200 RPM, which wear out over time or from your computer being knocked/dropped. Regardless of whether it's a PC or Mac, the hard drives are the same. Just like how cars or washing machines can break down because of moving parts, drives can do so from any point from within the first month or possibly after 6 years. Your warranties like AppleCare will cover this (and other faults) up to three years (compared to the standard 12 month warranty) and while that is great for the cost of replacing the drive, it does nothing for recovering the lost data.
What are some of your tips to keep your computer running well?

Sadly we have another article written by someone who really needs more info before writting an article about Windows. When are you guys going to get someone on staff who actually uses and knows about Windows?
For the PC users, here is more info.
1. Your computer should automatically alert you when you start to run out of hard disk space. if you don't see a warning, try running disk cleanup. You can find it under Start > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup. Additionally running CCleaner can remove a ton of files. Keep in mind that running this without any knowledge can cause more problems than it fixes.
2. CCleaner esentailly just runs the same uninstaller (if I remember correctly) that the standard Windows uninstall does. You are much better off using Revo Uninstaller. You can find it at http://download.cnet.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html?tag=mncol;1
3. Yeah your PC probably does system optimizing at night. Its set by default to do so You can change the times for these if you want.
4. Defragging autoruns on Windows Vista and Windows 7 at Weds at 1AM by default. Windows XP and its previous versions do not auto defrag.
5. You can use MSCONFIG for this. Click on Start > Run > type MSCONFIG > press enter or click ok. Then click on the startup tab. From here you can uncheck the things you dont want to autorun when your computer boots up. I would warn that unless you know what you are doing that you should not remove anything in here. Some of these things are REQUIRED for things to operate properly.
Cheers sillymo. That is helpful.

Date night at the Walker Art Center on Flickr.
Canonet QL17 GIII | Kodak Tri-X 400 (shot at 800-3200) | Rodinal R09 1:100 | 120 min
My second stab at stand development, this time using 5mL of Rodinal and a hint of Borax to control fog. I agitated 15 sec/min for the first 5 and then 15 sec every 30 min. thereafter. I think it turned out nicely! Shooting at 3200 might be pushing it, but I basically metered for 400 and then adjusted for a reasonable f-stop and shutter speed and shot. I love the flexibility stand development and Tri-X gives me! I don't want to have to fiddle with my camera too much for each shot. Luckily, I have a cute, willing subject who puts up with my nonsense ;o) This is our trip to the Walker Art Center. They have all sorts of interesting things there, I especially enjoyed the exhibition on graphic design they have going on now. This particular shot is in their video bay benches, where random artsy videos are playing on a loop. I think this one had someone walking on their hands underwater. They call it art!

Rants and raves from a woman with way to much on her plate. I am a woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and small business owner.
Novembers Here!!!
I have been wishing this whole year would be over and I'm almost there. Without a doubt this is the worst year ever - hands down! Bar none! undeniably!
Thing's in my life are difficult right now. As I ponder and debate in my head all of my problems I feel like running away. That however is not an option as I am not a quitter but right now I feel small and insignificant. Which makes me reminiscent of being a child. I remember my mom being stressed and fatigued but she kept on going. Her way of dealing with stress though was by hitting us it was her solution to stress. Spilt milk a good slap to the face, late home after school a good ass kicking, correcting her grammar slap. The beatings and beratings were endless and when I was beaten I felt small and insignificant. Unable to defend myself lest I raise my hand to my parents." Yep, christianity in all its insane forms makes for tons of excuses as to why we must allow ourselves to be flogged. Either way I would have never thought of striking my mother much as I wanted to on occasions. Anyway, I digress much as i want to run away from my problems I feel the need to dive in to work. Partly to forget my problems and partly to feel that perhaps I will achieve something. Mind you the jobs I'm considering would be mediocre. Maybe working as a waitress, or ticket taker, cleaning a building at night so as not to have anyone see me. I don't want to be seen. I want to be insignificant. I both hate my insignicficance and crave it.

Manchester is full of interesting history and the citizens' passion (for soccer!). It boomed in the 19th century when it became the first industrialized city but then faced a steep decline as manufacturing left England. Today it booms with arts, restaurants, and a thriving business district. The city is most famous for its football (soccer) teams. It has two- Manchester United and Man City and there's a big rivalry between the two sides.
Typical Costs
- Hostel Prices: Hostel dorms start $24 USD a night. Several are close to the Piccadilly Train station. Most offer free wifi too.
- Budget Hotel Prices: You can find a private room in a budget hotel starting around $65 USD per night. They all offer free wifi and breakfast.
- Average Cost of Food: Manchester is filled with markets selling local and fresh meats, cheeses, wine, and fruits and vegetables. If you choose to cook and take advantage of these markets, groceries will cost you between $50-80 USD per week. Eating out will cost you a bit more, but for eating out as cheaply as possible, stick to the cafes and pubs where you can eat lunch for $13 USD.
- Transportation Costs: Taxi costs up to $24 USD within the city and bus journeys vary in cost depending on where you are going. You can buy a unlimited daily ticket on the bus for $11 USD.
Money Saving Tips
- Eat lunch out, dinner in – If there's one consistency in food prices in England, it's that the best deals can be found by eating pub lunches. While dinners can cost upwards of $30 USD, you can normally find lunch in a pub for $11-15. Eat your lunches out, and cook your own dinners.
- Buy a Day Ticket for Bus Travel – A variety of bus companies in the Manchester area offer day passes, which can save a lot of money on your transportation costs. A day pass varies in price from $5 USD to $12 USD.
Top Things to Do
- The University of Manchester – More than it being a beautiful campus to walk through, it is also the place where the first computer was built and where radio astronomy was created. There are tours of this sprawling campus.
- Walk along Curry Mile – Take a walk along Curry Mile, a main street lined with restaurants, sari shops, and jewelry stores. Manchester has a lot of South Asian immigrants and you will find great Indian food and curries here (hence the name).
- Manchester Cathedral – This cathedral is the largest one in England and an interesting piece of architecture. The inside isn't as elaborate as some other cathedrals in England but the size is really awe-inspiring.
- Manchester Art Gallery – This gallery was designed by the same architect who constructed the House of Parliament. The art collection here isn't as good as what you will find in London but they have a decent sized collection of 17th and 18th century works.
- Stroll down Market Street - Market Street is lined with shops and is popular with younger people. You'll find bagpipers on the streets and good outdoor cafes.
- Albert Square – Albert Square is in the heart of the city. Most of the important landmarks and sights are within walking distance and you'll find old historic buildings and classic English architecture here.
- Visit Castlefield – This site of the original Roman settlement is a good place for history buffs. The walls that still stand over two meters high are from as late as the 16th Century. It is the center of Manchester's canal network and a transport nexus of unique historical importance.
- Manchester Town Hall – This beautiful neo-Gothic masterpiece is a symbol of the wealth and power of Manchester during the Industrial Revolution. Free tours can be arranged and the state rooms are open to visitors when not in use. This place was built during the height of Manchester's industrial influence.
- Become a Football Hooligan - With two of England's top Premier League teams (Manchester United and Man City), you can't come to Manchester and not see a football game. Buy your tickets early as they often sell out. Otherwise, watch it in a pub with the rowdy local fans. Just make sure you don't go to a Man U pub wearing a Man City shirt!
- The Lesbian & Gay Heritage Trail – The gay scene in Manchester is considered to be unsurpassed outside of London. At the tourist office, you can pick up the Gay & Lesbian Village Guide, which lists tons of bars, galleries, clubs, and groups that cater to the community. The trail itself is a 90 minute walking tour of the city's pink links.
- Godlee Observatory – Built in 1902, this observatory is one of the most interesting places to see in town. The telescope housed here is original and still fully operational and in exceptional condition. The views of the city from the top are awesome.
- Trafford Center – Just outside of town, this is the largest shopping center in the UK. There are over 280 stores and even overnight accommodations. It's easy to spend days here as there is a vast variety of shops to check out. There is also an exceptional selection of international cuisine in the center.
- Nightlife – The club scene here is one of the biggest in England. Many big names, such as Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk, started out playing at places like Sankey's and FAC 251. For those of you not so interested in dancing, there are plenty of quieter places to spend your evening. Brightons Protection is a great place to grab a meal and sample any number of their 200 different kinds of whisky.

text: Another inspiring visit yesterday, as we traveled into the mountains of northern Nicaragua to meet with a women's group based in the tiny village of Cinco Pinos. This is an agricultural community, with very few other opportunities, especially for women. So, it was inspiring to hear how these women decided to form their own group sixteen years ago, with the purpose of learning how to produce, and sell, crafts made with pine needles that are abundant in their area. They have progressed significantly since that time, and their products are now not only sold in stores in Managua and Masaya, but also exported to the US.

LightSquared Cries Foul Over Leak of GPS Test Results
Draft data covering recent DOD and FAA tests of cellphones and other consumer GPS devices revealed that 75 percent "experienced harmful interference" when within 100 meters of a LightSquared base station, according to a report in Bloomberg News on December 9. Of 92 receivers tested, 69 were affected, according to the data, showing that "millions of fielded GPS units are not compatible with [LightSquared's] planned nationwide wholesale service." The report also stated that, "No additional testing is required to confirm harmful interference exists." Responding to the report, LightSquared chairman and CEO Sanjiv Ahuja, in a December 12 letter to the chairs of the National Executive Committee for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (ExCom), accused a "government official" of leaking "portions of internal analyses of ongoing test results. Based on our [LightSquared's] review of Bloomberg News' reporting, the leak was based on an incomplete, selective and slanted analysis of the data of the testing of general location/navigation devices." LightSquared owns two different frequencies in the radio spectrum's satellite L-Band. Tests earlier this year at the frequency closer to that of GPS showed severe interference. The November tests used LightSquared's alternate frequency, farther from the GPS frequency where little consumer GPS interference was expected.

Eddie's an agent out to stop a madman who has a small army of animatons--human robots. LOTS of action, interesting characters, and a dash of genuine humor. Not bad at all. 16mm.

Costa Rica is well known as one of the most environmentally friendly nations in the world; it was rated the third cleanest country in the 2010 Environmental Performance Index prepared by Yale and Columbia universities. Perhaps this, and the fact that Costa Rica does not support a military, accounts for the fact that the country has earned the title as the Happiest Place on Earth by the New Economics Foundation and the World Happiness Index.
Costa Rica is home to more than 500,000 species (more than 300,000 are insects!) and ranks among the top 20 nations for its rich biodiversity. Thanks to its wealth of rainforests and attendant creatures, ecotourism is a principal economic driver in the country. The Costa Rican Tourism Institute and partners have developed a Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST) program. It guides businesses toward environmental policies to help protect the incredibly beautiful natural paradise that has become a mecca for visitors to explore its tropical beauty. The CST provides a benchmark to help tourists select properties that are striving to preserve the wildlife and fauna that make it so special.
The influx of tourism is certainly leaving its mark on this beautiful paradise, and the rapid growth is outpacing existing regulations, which are insufficient for the sudden demand. Trees must be felled to make room for development, and the increased population puts a strain on water supplies. Lacking water treatment facilities, many homes and businesses operate on septic systems that filter waste water back into creeks, rivers, groundwater, and the oceans. Contamination of waterways is a great concern, particularly because many residents draw freshwater from local rivers. Ocean health is also threatened.
Beaches participate in the voluntary Blue Flag Ecology Program, which provides an indicator regarding water quality. The beach at Quepos is polluted, but the nearby beach at Manuel Antonio National Park has a Blue Flag certification and provides a scenic site for water play. While diving off Quepos, the murky water filled with debris showed that the water is contaminated by runoff from coastal rivers, which carry waste products from civilization as well as agricultural chemicals from tropical farms.
Costa Rican tourism officials and the government will need to continue to forge ever more vigilant regulations in their partnerships with tourism developments as they seek to protect the rare beauty of their land and the creatures that live within it – from mosquitoes and butterflies to residents and tourists – as well as protect the boon to the local economy from tourism.
When you visit, seek properties that boast the seal of approval from the Costa Rican Tourism Institute – the Certification of Sustainable Tourism – and select waterways that bear the Blue Flag Ecology Program stamp.

The Past, Present and Future of Scholarly Publishing
After Swartz committed suicide earlier this year in the face of legal troubles arising from this incident, questions were raised about why MIT, whose access to JSTOR he exploited, chose to pursue charges, and what motivated the US Department of Justice to demand jail time for his transgression.
But the question that should have been asked is why downloading scholarly research articles was a crime in the first place. Why, twenty years after the birth of the modern Internet, is it a felony to download works that academics chose to share with the world?
The Internet, after all, was invented so that scientists could communicate their research results with each other. But while you can now get immediate, free access to 675 million videos of cats (I checked this number today), the scholarly literature – one of greatest public works projects of all time – remains locked behind expensive pay walls.
Every year universities, governments and other organizations spend in excess of $10 billion dollars to buy back access to papers their researchers gave to journals for free, while most teachers, students, health care providers and members of the public are left out in the cold.
Even worse, the stranglehold existing journals have on academic publishing has stifled efforts to improve the ways scholars communicate with each other and the public. In an era when anyone can share anything with the entire world at the click of a button, the fact that it takes a typical paper nine months to be published should be a scandal. These delays matter – they slow down progress and in many cases literally cost lives.
Tonight, I will describe how we got to this ridiculous place. How twenty years of avarice from publishers, conservatism from researchers, fecklessness from universities and funders, and a basic lack of common sense from everyone has made the research community and public miss the manifest opportunities created by the Internet to transform how scholars communicate their ideas and discoveries" (read more).
