- upbeat boston bistroOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/27/2014Excellent food with a fun, urban, bistro vibe...unhurried excellent service...delicious.Special Features:
- RecommendableOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/19/2014Already recommended it to several. Exactly $100 for two with two glasses of wine each! The veal scallopini was to die for. Get the recipe for the cauliflower gratin and send it to me!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointingCat1Dined on 9/17/2014I'd like to give any restaurant benefit of the doubt and say that perhaps this was an unusual night. Our waiter was uninformed about the menu, our food took close to an hour to get to us (the room was not half full). The chef nicely sent salads out because of our wait, though our server never apologized or even noticed the lateness; he delivered them, took them back thinking he had made a mistake, then again delivered them with the chef's message. Main courses finally came; my pasta dish had been ready so long that it was barely warm and congealed. Desert, a sabayon, barely had a tablespoon (should have at least 1/2 C). I wish I could put this place on my favorites list but I'm steering clear, I'll stick with Aquitaine and Gaslight.
- Rarely fails to pleaseliv2eatDined on 9/13/2014A minor cosmetic makeover and a revised menu was just enough to freshen one of our local neighborhood spots. Metropolis is always a pleasant dining spot with staff that, unlike many other restaurants these days, has a "Can Do" attitude. It is very much appreciated in a dining world that thinks they are doing you a favor when they allow you to dine.Special Features:
- Perfect city cafekenessDined on 9/13/2014Looking out over a bustling South End street, Metropolis offers more than its share of surprises. Atmosphere was warm and cozy on a rainy Saturday night, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. We ordered from the prix fixe menu, which was limited in scope, but excellent. Salads were named simply but put together with unusually tasty combinations of ingredients. We both had the horseradish crusted salmon, and enjoyed it -- washing it down with some pretty decent glasses of wine (included). For dessert, we went in different directions -- warm banana bread pudding, versus the mixed berries -- both light, not too sweet. Our server was excellent and helpful. We can't wait to go back.Special Features:
- Fantastic foodNewbieDined on 9/8/2014A date and I had an early dinner at Metropolis and took advantage of their blink-and-you'll-miss-it prix fixe menu (5:30-6:30 PM weekdays). Everything was outstandingly delicious, from the subtly spiced gazpacho to the rich, flavorful bread pudding. Great service, lovely atmosphere, good wine. A+, Metropolis! Will definitely return.Special Features:
- Fennel and pernodbostonflyboyVIPDined on 8/25/2014Have been wanted to visit for some time because of all the good things said about it. Was not disappointed. Had a wonderfully sauced mussels appetizer dish with Pernod. The main course was a pasta dish with crumbled fennel sausage that was amazing, with just the right amount of sauce. Too over pasta dishes are overwhelmed with sauce that detracts. Will be backSpecial Features:
- Love love love!foodieforallDined on 8/23/2014Had an amazing dinner here the other night. Had the opportunity to have their dine out Boston menu even though it was on a weekend. Food, service, ambiance, and décor were all great. Would high recommend this.Special Features:
- STICK TO THEIR MAIN MENU-TO DIE FORJoshVIPDined on 8/22/2014When we had first eaten here we were already dreaming of our second visit. Everything was absolutely perfect during out first trip- we literally ordered half the menu. Four friends who had all spent time together in Paris coming together and having an equally as marvelous meal! I have to say the restaurant week drew us back and we were very excited to hop back over to this beautiful little place. The roasted eggplant was not only pretty but so yummy. My main course of the pork was so tough and gritty it was hard to eat, needless to say 85% of it is still sitting in a little to go box in my fridge. Stick to the main menu here-- the chicken is so good, the different risotto they do are always good, the scallops...Special Features:
- Eph1793VIPDined on 8/4/2014An exquisite meal at a moderate price. This restaurant has never disappointed me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- spectacular hakeSteveVIPDined on 8/4/2014Reservations were for two at 7. We were seated immediately in a nice corner table. i was worried that there were only four occupied tables, but by 8 pm, the place was buzzing. We ordered a nice French rose with appetizers. Our entrees were hake and a shrimp-pasta dish. My hake, served on a bed of red beans, was perfectly done, flaky, hot, and with a crispy crust. My wife's pasta dish was so spicy that she could only eat a few bites. So she ate the rest of my dish and i finished off hers with plenty of water. That was a dish only the heartiest of patrons could eat. Temper the heat, and it would have been much more enjoyable. Still, a good eating experience at one of our favorites in the South End.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent nightHatebadfoodDined on 8/3/2014My boyfriend and I randomly picked this restaurant off of open table and had a wonderful night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellentluv3dinerDined on 8/1/2014My girlfriend and I went to this restaurant for our second date and it was great. Service was excellent. Wine selection was amazing. And the food blew my mind. The review don't do this place justice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cozy and consistentXavierVIPDined on 7/26/2014Second time at metropolis since 2013 and it delivered again: consistently good food, though this time less memorable than last, but great service made up for it. The place is cozy so don't plan to entertain more than 4 guests at a time and no cocktails available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Metropolis shines again!MuzzieVIPDined on 7/23/2014We dine at Metropolis Cafe three or four times a month. It never disappoints! The food is always delicious, the staff is attentive and pleasant and the setting is just right. It truly is a neighborhood gem. Metropolis is a go-to spot that always gets it right. I have never left there with even one thing to complain about.Special Features:
- Love the foodLN2241Dined on 7/23/2014Service could have been much better. It's a small place and we had a hard time flagging the waiter down to get the bill at the end of the night. I definitely suggest getting whatever they have that's seasonal/on special. Always my favorite choice.Special Features:
- Cozy, but comfortable and deliciousRickyVIPDined on 7/23/2014Went for an anniversary dinner. The appetizers all looked very interesting, but ended up going with the salad. My wife and I tried the salmon and the hake, both of which were cooked to the perfect temperature and texture. Overall taste was good, but not out of this world, so high marks, but not the best. Great ambience, and a cozy atmosphere if you're looking for a date place. Brunch menu looked awesome. My only complaint is that the seat on the left side of the restaurant right next to the window is located on top of some kind of heat source, and on one of the hottest days... it made for an uncomfortable, inadvertent hot seat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Each dish was a delightOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 7/23/2014First time at Metropolis, but it won't be the last. We enjoyed everything we ordered.Special Features:
- MetropolisSadamsDined on 7/19/2014We liked Metropolis very much. The mussels were great. The salmon was too salty but the cauliflower gratin was outstanding. Ambiance is good- our table sat six and was fine. Wish they had a liquor license. Overall I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceeded Expectations!ScottDined on 7/17/2014I had wanted to go to Metropolis for awhile and finally made it for dinner last week. The food exceeded my expectations. Everything we had was delicious from the asparagus appetizer to the hake to the risotto. The place was a lot smaller than we thought so the tables were very close to each other, but they did the best they could with the space they had. I would definitely recommend checking Metropolis out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another fabulous meal hereRichSDined on 6/21/2014Another fabulous meal at Metropolis Cafe. Special was a risotto with smoked mozzarella melted into it with seared scallops and dollops of pesto. Wasn't sure the pesto was going to work, but it was an amazing combo. Server was attentive and provided great advice on wine pairings. So many choices in the South End, but after several visits here, this is rising toward the top of the list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- notafoodieDined on 6/20/2014The food was good but not excellent. The vegetable sides were more flavorful and interesting than were the entrees. The horseradish crusted salmon should have had some zip but didn't. For something with horseradish on it, it was quite bland. The dessert (warm banana pudding) was not as good as I could make at home.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/19/2014Had a great dinner. Great food and service. Arrived, with reservation, at 5:30 p.m. (opening) and three of us had an excellent, leisurely, dinner and were finished in plenty of time to get to a 7:30 show at the Calderwood Theatre down the street.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 6/14/2014The fluke crudo was very disappointing. Minimal flavor and poor presentation; it was out of character for this restaurant.
- a gemadamVIPDined on 6/13/2014This place continues to be top notch and is a neighborhood gem. EXCELLENT quality food and a special experienceSpecial Features:

- Dining experienceJackoDined on 5/18/2014We loved the food. Love our table. But neither of us drink and we ordered 2 diet cokes and were told the soda dispenser was broke but at the counter area i saw 3 people with sodas. But that is really my only gripe that we had to drink just waterSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good food and servicesherpaDined on 5/11/2014This restaurant had very good food. The ambiance was intimate and the service was excellent.
- Great restaurant!meg4Dined on 5/11/2014We went for Mother's Day dinner and had an amazing dinner! Our waitress was just FANTASTIC! She went out of her way for us from letting me try two wines that I was deciding between to noticing that our dessert was burnt and taking it back and getting us a new one without us even saying anything. The food, as always, was excellent! Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion.Special Features:
- Great first time experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/4/2014The food, atmosphere, and kind service made this a very pleasant meal. I was thoroughly satisfied with my experience and will definitely be back as a repeat customer. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of my new favoritesOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/2/2014What a great place for a casual night out. Very good food at reasonable prices--the risottos are terrific. The seating is a little cramped, and I'd advise a reservation because there's nowhere to wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingLocalFoodieVIPDined on 4/22/2014We usually like the food at this neighborhood gem, but lately the kitchen has been extremely slow and the food not as good. We waited over 40 minutes on a not-so-crowded evening between end of salad and entree. The food was dry and disappointing. This was our second visit where this was the case.Special Features:
- bbgalVIPDined on 4/19/2014One of my favorite restaurants in Boston. The veal is the best anywhere. Love the asparagus app and had a great gem lettuce salad. Service is always great! A well run charming spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing DinnerKrisVIPDined on 4/18/2014I would highly recommend Metropolis Cafe to anyone looking for a high end dinner experience without the typical price tag. I would say the menu is $5-10 more expensive than an average restaurant, but delivers as if it's among the nicer restaurants in Boston. It's a small price to pay given the jump in quality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/5/2014We went for dinner before going to theatre across the street. We hadn't been in quite a while and although it's small and can be crowded and a bit noisy we thought we'd try again. The secret is going a little early. Our reservation was for 6PM and it was quiet, not crowded and nice. The food was wonderful. I started with the asparagus tartar, which was clean, refreshing and with some crunch on top. It was excellent. For an entree I had the seared salmon with a horseradish crust topping. I finished the whole thing. Nothing else need be said!Special Features:
- Perfect!BMerryDined on 4/2/2014This was my first visit to Metropolis and I can't say enough good things about it. I'm looking forward to my second visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week ExperiencecwcadyDined on 3/27/2014Great food, and great service. Three out of the four of us got the pork and it was delicious! It's very small in the restaurant however, and with the winter Boston has been having, I felt like we were surrounded by big parkas and winter accessories because there is no coat check or a lot of room to put the jackets!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great neighborhood placeadamVIPDined on 3/26/2014Came here the other day and it is still my favorite of the Aquitane Group restaurants. It still retains the small neighborhood charm. The food was delicious. We came for dine out boston week. For starters, the bread and olive oil with roasted garlic was excellent, well above average and got me excited for dinner. We had the calamari with olives and capers which was good. The Hake was excellent and cooked very well. The pork was very good, but overcooked, so a bit hard in texture. The desserts were both fantastic. They also chose to offer the lower price for Dine Out Boston, unlike most of the neighborhood restaurants, but the quality was there and it made me want to come back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

No longer do conversations about the Pines Charter boys' cross-country team start and end with Andrew Iglesias.
With Iglesias, the Jaguars' All-American runner sidelined with an injury, surging twin brothers Carlos and Daniel Penaranda propelled the Jaguars to the District 15-3A title, the first in school history, at Mills Pond Park on Thursday.
Building off a runner-up finish at the B.C.A.A championships, Carlos Penaranda won the individual title in a personal-best 16:36 to lead a 1-2-3 Jaguars' finish with Daniel Penaranda (17:13) and Timothy Taylor (17:34).
"I was expecting to win, for sure," said Carlos Penaranda. "I train with the No. 4 runner in the state, Andrew Iglesias, so I knew I could only get better. I knew I was going to be one of the top runners in the county and this district. I'm hoping to see where I get to in the Region. I hope top five or top 10."
Iglesias offered vocal support from the sidelines and will undoubtedly bolster a deep roster upon his return for the Region 4-3A championships on Nov. 10.
"This is very pleasing. I have a lot of young talent," said Jaguars coach Joe Hazera. "We can go eight, nine, 10 deep. I can have Andy sitting down and couple other guys sitting and still we can come through like this."
The top three girls' teams and top four boys' teams along with the top 13 individual finishers qualify for the Region championships in Stuart.
Cardinal Gibbons' senior Morgan Rodriguez credited a more relaxed approach this season to a relatively easy defense of her District title in 20:27.
But the battle for the girls' team title between the Chiefs and Archbishop McCarthy was as close as advertised with a 34-35 victory for the Chiefs being decided by the No. 5 runners.
"We knew it would be back and forth with Archbishop,'' Rodriguez said. "There are so few other complete teams. We knew what we had to do to win."
• District 15-3A results. Boys' individuals – 1. Carlos Penaranda (PPC) 16:36, 2. D. Penaranda (PPC) 17:13, 3. Taylor (PPC) 17:34, 4. Farrell (AM) 17:40, 5. Levine (OH) 17:55, 6.

The Amica Top (coming soon to *Vintage Boutique) is a perfect complement to our wonderful Keith Haring inspired walls at the Karmaloop headquarters! Two tone looks are all the rage now, (and wearing Vintage Boutique is no exception). This pintucked beauty can be worn oversized or in just the right size! The lovely shoulders on this top give it an edge, and give this vintage gem a real touch of sophistication. Being that it's black, the Amica Top can be worn not only three ways, but in a gazillion different ways!
In this first look (above), I go with a black bodycon skirt to add a touch of sexiness! Try the Corduroy Pencil Skirt by Blank Denim. I pair it up with my lovely leopard print ponyskin platforms for a little added height and texture, and to break up the black just a tiny bit! I would suggest the Roza Shoe by Sam Edelman. Also part of this look, is a chunky black and purple scarf. Try the Helix Scarf by Hurley. I loop a skinny belt around my waist, add a little wooden giraffe bracelet I found at Goodwill, and there you've got it folks!
For my second look I team up the Amica Top with my very favorite legging, the Craft Leggings in black by Mink Pink. I go for my favorite thrift store accessories in white, a chunky white knit scarf and a white fan shaped pin which I placed eccentrically in a not so commonly worn place! Try the Hooded Scarf by BMC.
For this last look, I went all out on the two tone trend. I'm wearing a white leather skirt, a white beaded necklace, and a geometrically shaped white leather bag. Try the Heart Clutch by Mata Hari for a cute look!

BenQ XL2420TX
Pros: Amazingly smooth image quality.
Cons: Colors a bit faded, quite expensive.
To recieve this as a Christmas present, I couldn't be happier. The 120hz is AMAZING, playing games in 60hz on my 1440p monitor just doesn't compare, at least for shooters. The 3d with lightboost is amazing, and the monitor still looks amazingly smooth at the 3d 60hz. The colors out of the box are terrible; do a little research and find the settings that work for you. Even having said that, though, the colors on my 1440p Catleap absolutely destroy those of the benQ, but such is the reality of TN vs. IPS. At the time of purchase this was the best 120hz monitor out there, but with Asus coming out with the 144hz monitor, do your research and find which monitor is right for you. I highly recommend this monitor, I absolutely love it

Istanbul Aku Datang
Dian (Lisa Surihani), a sweet and naïve blogger, travels to Istanbul in hopes of convincing her medical student boyfriend Azad (Tomok) to propose to her. She rents out an apartment, not knowing that it is already leased to quirky and shy artist Harris (Beto Kusyairy). Despite the unwanted roomate, Dian tries to make the most out of her sticky situation and conceal it from Azad. But when Azad eventually finds out and leaves her, Dian has to decide whether she should run and fight for Azad or stay and discover if Harris is the one who is meant for her.
Review By Nadia Najib
Total success has been met with the production of one of the highest quality films this year, "Istanbul Aku Datang".
This is not a shameless compliment to Bernard Chauly, the film's director, but it cannot be denied that his careful and neatly ordered work made the film interesting to watch.
Even its line-up of well-known stars like Lisa Surihani and Beto Kusyairy is enough to pull loyal local fans in to the cinema.
In the beginning, the film plays out like most romantic comedies, where the girl takes a trip overseas in order to find her boyfriend in the hopes of studying together and eventually, getting married. Dian (Lisa Surihani) is also an urban blogger who constantly updates her status on her blog. Sounds like 80% of the female population in Kuala Lumpur right?
But that is not all. Even their love story plays out like a fairytale with Dian being the childish yet endearing personality while Azad (Tomok) is slightly nerdy. |8|The only difference is the quality of the cinematography in "Istanbul Aku Datang" compared with other local films, which looks expensive and breathtaking. Bernard Chauly's filming in Istabul for two weeks has paid off with its present ability to attract audiences with the gorgeous scenery that cannot be found locally.
Applause should also be given to the costume designer as he or she managed to bring out a different side of Lisa Surihani, one that is still a young girl at heart who is still studying but has elaborate plans in making her dream wedding become a reality.
However, what the writer is waiting for is the appearance of Harris, who is played by Beto Kusyairy. It is still not known what it is about him that appeals him to viewers so much so that they scream whenever he comes onscreen. Perhaps it is his romantic nature, which is the personality that was given to Harris, and which works, despite the fact that Beto plays it so casually. In the writer's opinion, Beto should be classed as one of the new generation of Romeos that may surpass Rosyam Nor.
Even though there are some who took offense with the film's portrayal of male and female co-habitation, to the writer, it is ultimately up to audiences to take away what they want from the film as the co-habitation portrayed is just for laughs as opposed to a lesson that everyone should learn.
Written by Rafidah Abdullah, the contemporary phrases that are thrown around are more than appropriate for the contemporary story. Last but not least, the theme song of the film is also fitting and well done, titled "Aku Datang" by Tomok.
There's more to this franchise than meets the eye.

In building our pre-order specific shipping center, I learned a bit about how the shipping industry works, and what it costs. This is a post about how to choose your 3PL (third party logistics) vendor to handle your Kickstarter or crowdfunding campaign. Swish is often your best choice, but not always.
A bit of background: most fulfillment centers are optimized for someone who does ongoing commerce. This means that a number of orders trickle in every day, and the items have to be located in the warehouse, put into a box and shipped out to the customer. Crowdfunding is different, because all the orders are ready to ship at once (or maybe in several batches). Paying for a warehouse employee to "pick" your orders one by one can be expensive compared to a streamlined process.
Fulfillment vendors charge several different types of fees:
Pick-and-pack: Finding your items in the warehouse and placing them in the shipping box.
Packing materials: The envelope or box your item is shipped in as well as bubble wrap, etc. This can actually cost several dollars per package.
Postage: The actual money paid to USPS or another carrier to deliver the package.
Storage: Keeping your items in the warehouse until they are ready to be shipped.
What are your options? Let's talk about Amazon, a retail and fulfillment giant, Shipwire, a fulfillment specialist, Whiplash, a new fulfillment startup, and Swish (that's us).
Fulfillment By Amazon (amazon.com/fba)
While Amazon used to only fulfill items sold on Amazon.com, they now offer "multi-channel" fulfillment. The intent was that you would sell most of your items on Amazon, but they could ship orders placed on your website as well. Nothing specifically prohibits you from using it exclusively for existing pre-orders. Unfortunately, the prices are high. Minimum is $5.95 including packing materials and postage for a one-item package up to 1 lb. Extra items cost $0.75 additional. Their prices are the best for items over several pounds, though. There's also a slew of other fees, like warehouse space, returns processing, and putting a required sticker on each product. It's basically a big hassle. But if you want to ever sell on or through Amazon, you're going to have to do this eventually, so you might as well bite the bullet and get set up now.
Pros: Experience, Long term relationship
Cons: Cost, Hassle
When to Use: Heavy items or planning to sell on Amazon
Source: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=201119430, click "Standard-Size Non-Media"
Shipwire (shipwire.com)
Shipwire offers "Enterprise logistics for everyone." Basically it's a standard fulfillment provider. Some of their best features unfortunately aren't too helpful for you, like multiple US warehouses, same day shipping, etc. Your customers have waited 6 months, another 2 days won't make them less angry that you're late (and you will be late…). Their website is hard to navigate, and opaque about pricing, but pick-and-pack starts at $2.85 per package (unclear if this includes the packing materials). It drops to $2 or less if you ship over 1000 packages. Extra items are around $0.75 each. Warehouse space is again, a separate charge, but unlike Amazon, these prices don't include postage. I couldn't find any specific information, but I assume they have volume rates with all the major shippers. My favorite feature is the long list of shopping cart integrations (e.g. Shopify). If you're planning to transition from Kickstarter to your own web store, you'll need a partner like Shipwire in the future.
Pros: Shopping cart integration
Cons: Unhelpful website, Cost
When to Use: Planning to sell on your own web store
Source: http://www.shipwire.com/w/support/pricing-order-handling/, http://info.shipwire.com/rs/shipwire/images/Shipwire-Pricing-Overview.pdf
Whiplash (whiplashmerch.com)
I like Whiplash because of their startup-y feel (damn, check out that bootstrap). They're aiming to be "the Stripe of shipping," with everything executed over an API. They have official PHP and Ruby libraries with community contributed Node.js and Java. Of course, they also have a functional website that you can run your operation from. I personally love supporting startups in the "growth phase" because the pricing and service is often exceptional. Whiplash charges $2.95 for pick-and-pack with extra items $0.85. This doesn't include the packing materials and postage is actual UPS or USPS rates. They integrate with a few shopping carts, but not as many as Shipwire. Definitely the way to go if you want to ship packages automatically using HTTP requests.
Pros: Startup, API
Cons: Price
When to Use: Want to ship by API
Source: https://www.whiplashmerch.com/pricing/Whiplash [*See edit 7/2 below.]
Swish (swish.com)
At Swish, we run a pre-order marketplace. Fulfillment isn't our core business (you can't even find it on our website) but it's something we've had to get good at. We only do pre-orders, so we won't store your product in our warehouse (or charge you for it). Most items are shipped out to the backer the same or next day after they arrive. Because we do your whole campaign in one sitting, it's more like an assembly line. We don't have an API, just email us the backer spreadsheet, ship us the product, and we'll take care of everything. We charge $2.00 per backer (including materials) plus USPS postage. Extra picks are free — this is especially important if you ran a complicated multi-item campaign, or want to include a marketing insert. We also have some crowdfunding-specific services, like free address confirmation emails. If you've sent your backer survey months before you're shipping, many of your backers will have moved — in one case, we found that 10% of backers had moved after 6 months. We're happy to send out package tracking by email as well.
Pros: Ease, Price, Address confirmation
Cons: Pre-order only, high touch
When to Use: After crowdfunding
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Here's a handy quick reference on everyone's fees:
Base w/ 1 pick | Extra picks | Postage | Materials | Storage FBA $5.95 | $0.75 | incl | incl | varies Shipwire $2.85 or less | ~$0.75 | actual | ??? | varies Whiplash $2.95 [*] | $0.85 | actual | not incl | varies Swish $2.00 | free | actual | incl | free
(All of us are experienced international shippers. I couldn't quickly figure out what FBA or Shipwire's price would be, but Whiplash and Swish ship internationally for no extra fee.)
Hopefully this post has given you some useful information about choosing a fulfillment partner. I think Swish is the easiest and cheapest option if you just want to get your campaign to the backers quickly, but if you're ahead of schedule it can make sense to build a relationship with your future partner. In another post, I'll discuss whether you should handle fulfillment in-house, and exactly how to do it.
Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if I've made a factual error.
[Edit 6/28: The creator also pays to ship the product to our facility. I believe this is true for all fulfillment centers. Many creators have the manufacturer ship directly to the fulfillment center to save money and time.]
[*Edit 7/2: James from Whiplash was kind enough to give our readers a discount: 2.66 for the Base w/ 1 pick. https://www.whiplashmerch.com/pricing/Swish]

"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"
"These went perfectly with my invitations, they came out really nice and I was so glad I decided to buy them along with my invitations, it made the whole thing look so much nicer."
"The image you see in the sample on the website is exactly what you get in hard copy! Fonts are easily read and label size is appropriate for all letter sizes. I really liked the ability to customize the colors on the labels. Great quality too. Would recommend to a friend."
"I ordered these for my husband and I just before our wedding to use for our thank you cards. We both agreed on this design and absolutely loved. We loved it so much we went back and ordered 100 more. I highly recommend them to anyone needed labels. I'm considering ordering them for friends as gifts."
"I have some of these lables myself. A friend of mine saw it from the mail ad had to have some. So, I gave her some for her birthday. So incredibely classy. They came in the mail so fast as well. I would order these in a hearbeat again. You won't be disappointed. Customer service is great."

As part of our 2013 Fundraiser, New Amsterdam is partnering with Q2 Music to unveil a series of remixes of Caroline Shaw's Pulitzer Prize-winning Partita for 8 Voices. For each week over the course of our online fundraiser, we will release a new remix via Q2 — who will stream one new remix per week on their website. To gain access to all of the remixes (download and streaming) as they are released, join the New Amsterdam 2013 Funders Club by making a tax-deductible donation here!
Listen to the Violetness remix below (via Q2):
Week 7: Violetness
Violetness is the stage name of Brooklyn-based electronic musician Vanessa Upson. The Peruvian-American artist recently released her EP, Last Night In My Dreams, I Was Talking To You. After a series of collaborations including Son Lux and Moon Boots, this EP is her solo debut.
Week 6: No Lands
No Lands is the electronic project of Brooklyn-based sound artist and composer Michael Hammond, whose music has been performed by members of the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, electronic duo Matmos, and So Percussion. No Lands' debut album, a collection of electro-noir songs, will be released by New Amsterdam Records in 2014. Aside from a kick drum sample, Hammond exclusively used sounds from the original Partita recording to create his remix.
Week 5: Olga Bell
Composer, producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Olga Bell has collaborated with Osvaldo Golijov, Philip Glass, the Julliard String Quartet and rap group Das Racist. She's also released several singles and EPs as a solo artist, as well as the 2011 LP "Diamonite." Bell currently performs with the art-rock ensemble Dirty Projectors and with composer/producer Tom Vek as half of the dance-rock duo Nothankyou.
Week 4: Morgan Packard
Morgan Packard is a member of a new generation of artist-engineers who view technology not simply as an assistive tool, but as raw material for creative expression. Inspired by code-slinging composers like Paul Lansky and Robert Henke, and the visual artists using creative coding toolkits like Processing and Open Frameworks, Packard designs processes for creating and manipulating sound.
Week 3: Aaron Roche (Clocktower Gallery remix)
Week 2: Daniel Wohl
Week 2 of our fundraiser features a remix by Paris-born, New York-based composer Daniel Wohl. Wohl's New Amsterdam release Corps Exquis (2013) was called "deliciously lovely" by New York Times and "beautiful and maze-like" by Pitchfork.
Week 1: Lorna Dune
Lorna Dune is the electronic project of composer/performer Lorna Krier, a member of NewAm's own Victoire, whose Cathedral City was named "One of the top 10 classical albums of 2010″ by NPR and "one of 2010's most memorable albums" by the New Yorker. Dune's own debut EP Miamisphere was released last month on Lo Bit Landscapes. Get access to this remix and all others as they are released by donating today.

Quick question on installation defaults
Hi - I installed membase on two different servers in exactly the same manner - both using the default bucket as a memcached bucket.
After initial installation, I did a simple telnet localhost 11211 on both servers and then attempted a stats. On one of them, the expected dump was generated. On the second, I received what appears to be a moxie exception code - SERVER_ERROR unauthorized, null bucket
Does anyone know why two installations would generate different results like this? We are begining evaluation of Membase and would like to start off by simply replacing our memcached instances with membase in memcached mode.
Happy to help here!
It's odd that there would be a difference between the two installations, but I suspect there's some underlying difference between the two servers.
Are you able to look at the Logs link in the UI on the server that is not working and see if there are any error messages there? Alternaltively, you can run /opt/membase/bin/browse_logs to get the full debug-log output.
I'm suspecting that there is a problem starting up the Memcached process which is usually linked to security settings on the server (rlimit or core_limit). Take a look at this post and let me know if those errors show up and/or if this helps resolve your issue (http://wiki.membase.org/display/membase/Common+Errors)

I would send my pet and initiate ranged attack, gain too much aggro and pull the mob and enter melee (automatic, thanks to last patch), but when I wing clip and kite and pet re-aggros I wouldn't auto shoot with my bow anymore, even after firing off a ranged spell. He would just sit there with his dagger out. Didn't happen every time, but more than once, and after a server crash I logged with my 57 orc hunter on a different server and didn't have that problem again.

This game has quite a steep difficulty curve, I consider myself a fast typer but towards a certain level the enemies increase dramatically and I can't react fast enough! My fingers are tired towards level 16 which cause me to lose...
Several ways to improve:
1) Add some items e.g. items to decrease enemy speed, decrease enemy number
2) Add levels. Yes I know there are levels but you only see it at the end, I suggest putting a message in between levels so players will know what level they are currently at and allow them to rest between levels
3) Add some bosses at the end of levels, for variety.

It is a challenge for online medical texts to truly "be up to date" hence why medical students and doctors have to source information from a number of sources. In the future it may well be that only the best in this business survive.

Embedded ElasticSearch
I've been using ElasticSearch integration plugin (via existing XDCR facility)...it looks great but it requires additional setup & management of ElasticSearch infrastructure.
I think it will be beneficial to have option deploying Couchbase server cluster with embedded ElasticSearch...meaning no need to separately setup ElasticSearch instances...instead Lucene engine data will be persisted in the Couchbase itself utilizing its HA infrastructure and it will offer ElasticSearch API on top of that.
That is awesome thank you Mike. Just to clarify, what I meant it to use Couchbase's HA storage facility (perhaps special system bucket) to store ElasticSearch's persistent artifacts(like index data, etc), so that no separate storage environment needed for ElasticSearch.
That would greatly enrich Couchbase's value our of the box - it will be able to make free text searches without separate ElasticSearch infrastructure in place.
This "embedded ElasticSearch" option should be configurable (on/off) during node installation or/and in admin console (perhaps something like "create ElasticSearch bucket and enable ElasticSearch")

Lemon Cashew Chicken Salad
Leo Gong, Randy Mon
An unusual, fresh-tasting version that's lower in fat than the standard but not at all dry, thanks to the thick, creamy yogurt that replaces half the mayo. Prep and Cook Time: about 45 minutes. Notes: Serve on lettuce if you like, or use to fill a sandwich, maybe with sweet onion for crunch—or, in summer, a slice of ripe tomato.
Yield: Makes 6 servings

Research Interests
My field is mycology which is a sub-discipline of microbiology and it deals with
the study of Fungi. I am particularly interested in members of the lower flagellated
Fungi that are parasites of medically and ecologically important insects. Specifically,
my research involves all aspects of the new fungal phylum Blastocladiomycota which
includes saprophytic fungi as well as parasitic species important in the natural
control of mosquitos, midges, and blackflies. My colleagues and I have recently
completed the first rDNA molecular phylogeny of the phylum and this work has revealed
many unexpected relationships as well as a number of new species. Current research
in my laboratory seeks to describe new species and to understand the biological
significance of entomopathic species of Catenaria, Coelomomyces, and Coelomycidium.
Research techniques include traditional light microscopy to study parasite morphology
and life histories, electron microscopy to study zoospore ultrastructure, and rDNA
analysis to further resolve phylogenetic relationships and to study parasite ecology
and phylogeography.

Very good. I love chicken and rice but it is not my husband's favorite. Anything I can do to perk up a basic recipe for his taste helps. The flavor of the caramelized onions and fresh herbs make a big difference. I only made about half the onions called for in the recipe--starting with 8 cups of onions and cooking down to 3 cups is a lot of work--but followed the rest of the recipe pretty closely.

7:04 AM. Firecop. They open the clue and proudly display the one dollar they're given for the leg. As they go, Andre comments that finds the dollar a little piddly, and says he would at least have liked to get four quarters. Heh. He goes on to say that they've already overcome a lot of "adversity" to get to where they are. It's certainly true that they've gotten some bad breaks, particularly lately. They discuss the fact that when the "chips are down," they keep going. They get a cab for the Marrakech airport and head out, dearly hoping to run into a clump of other teams bunched up at the airport, which really isn't an entirely unreasonable expectation, given the time of day.
When Firecop gets to the Marrakech airport, they head inside. They get the same news that the other teams got -- everything leaving the Marrakech airport today is sold out up the ying-yow. Andre quickly starts pressing to leave the airport and take a train to Casablanca (presumably, there was no flight available) that would get them there in about three hours, at which point they could try flights again. Damon wants to do a little more checking before they go, which irritates Andre to no end, because he feels like the verdict has already come in loud and clear. "He just doesn't want to listen," Andre mutters.
Meanwhile at the Casablanca airport, the teams who hopped there from Marrakech scamper from their little plane. The first desk Jill visits offers her a nice slam in the face. "It's not possible, all flights to Europe are overbooked," says the woman behind the desk. Big meanie. She's lucky Jill doesn't pick her up and toss her across the room, yelling, "Overbook this!"
In Marrakech, Firecop bails on the airport and heads for Casablanca. They initially plan to take a train, but when they get their taxi for the station, he offers to take them all the way to Casablanca for a hundred bucks or so, so they go with that option. They've presumably managed to hang on to some money, and this is probably a situation where it's not a bad idea to spend some of it, because the taxi could presumably be quite a bit faster than the train, and they're clearly in trouble at this point. In the cab, Andre is still unhappy about the delay back at the airport while Damon persisted in checking flights, but Damon is convinced he was right. That is the most boring argument ever.
The Casablanca airport, meanwhile, is not initially turning out to be a whole lot more promising than Marrakech. As they would say on Sesame Street, this episode is brought to you by the word "full," and by the letters S.O.L. The teams break off into their two predictable subgroups -- BoB works together, as do the crumbling remains of the HugeTinies in the form of FloZach and JVJ. Derek and Flo have a little bickerfest at a ticket counter where he, all smiles on the outside but at least partly serious on the inside, accuses her of being a dirty rat of a player and explains that she and Zach aren't trustworthy the way Gerard and Kenny are. Note that here, Flo claims that she "doesn't like to be nasty." Flo and Derek are ultimately united, though, by their shared hope that Firecop won't show up in time to bunch with them, because everyone loves a leg where there's one team that's practically out of the picture. Man, through that entire scene, I am completely distracted by Derek's noisy and overzealous gum-chewing. I have a feeling it's because he's squelching the tension of the conversation so he can pretend to be friendly.

Hotel life to seaside life
The only good thing I took from this whole experience was that I know I can talk to different people, and get along. I throw myself in. I want to meet new people, and enjoy their company. And this happened. I hope to take many little trips to see them all soon.
Trying to choose food off of a menu with only a few choices for two weeks was hard. I can safely say I don't wanna see a pizza or anything chip related for a while.

Seaside adventure
Sometimes the best adventures are not planned, they just happen. This was the case yesterday.
Myself and David had planned to go to this tiny-hidden seaside town to visit the cutest cinema. This all sounded so perfect. So the morning of the adventure, I get to the train station and all the trains are delayed. Eventually we get there, we buy our tickets, have a little look around the tiny town, which only takes like 10mins. We did however have time for a cream tea. We had tea out of the cutest teacups, which I would of loved to have taken home. It was the nicest tearoom filled with walls and walls of books to read and buy.
We then went to the cinema, and it was just liked we hoped, tiny and quirky. We are waiting for the movie, and the trailers come on. It's the Guardians of the galaxy trailer....A MASSIVE GIANT SPOILER HAPPENS. Ugh. I know there are comics, and I should of read those, BUT STILL...ugh. Why does this always happen?! And then people kept talking during the film, it wasn't their fault, but we couldn't handle it. We had to leave. We were both super annoyed, but I said let's walk down to the beach. Which then turned into a giant walk, a walk to the next seaside town.

Creative mind at work
On Saturday it was wonderful. The weather was perfect. David came to visit me after my crazy night shifts. We then decided to have a BBQ, as my grandparents came to visit for dinner. We decided to have pretty drinks in the hot sun. We went shopping and got lots of goodies for us all to enjoy.

eeBoo Floating Bird Decoration
For a while now, eeBoo has been a great source for beautifully illustrated books, cards, diaries, and games for kids. We checked to see what they've been up to lately and grinned from ear to ear when we saw these floating bird decorations.
There's something so bright and playful about them, which is exactly what we're needing in the dead of winter. They measure about 11 inches across, are printed on sturdy cardstock, and only cost $5.95 each. We'll take the whole flock!
Available online at Genius Babies.

They sell these at the hospital I work at in the gift shop. I bought one for our baby girl thought it was fitting beings though her middle name is birdy. We hung it right above her changing pad and she loves looking at it.
I love these, my girls have one in their room and we have bought many more for friends bdays, they are always a big hit. Not hard to turn into DIY project either and let the kids decorate their own. :)
I love these. Our daughter got three of them in her stocking from Santa. They're hanging above her bed. She loves them!

Cat Care Society operates a limited admission cage-free shelter for homeless and abused cats while providing community outreach programs to enrich the lives of people and cats. Cat Care Society is 100% funded by private donations, from people just like you.
Cat Care Society

Thousands of cats become homeless each year when their families give them up due to allergies.
If you, or a member of your family, have allergies, the cause may be your cat; however, there are many things you come in contact with that could also be the source of the problem. These may include household dust and molds, feathers, cigarette smoke, pesticide spray, household cleaners etc. Therefore, don't give up your cat so quickly!
Solving the problem depends on the severity and sensitivity of the allergic individual. In the case of pet allergy, the hair isn't the cause; it is the cat's dander (dandruff) and saliva (which is transferred to the fur during grooming). However, most people are seldom allergic to just one substance.
*Note: If you, or a member of your family, develop allergy symptoms, consult a reputable allergist. Insist on a thorough testing; scratch tests are not thought to be conclusive by many in the field. Also, take care in choosing a medical advisor who is aware of the importance of companion animals in the household and does not immediately advise you to "get rid of it" as the only option.
If you can minimize the non-cat allergens in the air you breathe and control the cat-oriented allergens, your body may be able to tolerate the presence of a cat.
Allergizing Your Home
Emphasis should be placed on getting rid of allergens in the bedroom, the place where adults spend approximately one-third of their time and children one-half of their time. Not allowing pets in bedrooms would be very helpful.
Use of air purifiers: If possible, invest in a large commercial-size air purifier because room-size units are usually not adequate. An air purifier cleans the air of animal dander, dust, molds, fur, and other air-borne irritants.
Clean up the dander that has accumulated all over the house by vacuuming thoroughly. Damp wipe all counters and furniture. Thoroughly wash all bedspreads, sheets, throw rugs and slip covers, etc. It may take several house cleanings to allergize the home. If this is not accomplished, your family and your pet will simply be picking up loose dander from the house even after the pet has been allergized.
The more washable surfaces in the home, the better, e.g. wood or linoleum floors, furniture with simple lines and Venetian blinds that wipe clean are better than carpets, upholstered and ornate furniture, and draperies that collect dust. Nylon and synthetic fabrics and rug piles attract and hold dust much more than wood and nature fabrics.
Special non-allergenic pillows are available. You can also use dacron or other synthetics, not kapok, feather or foam rubber which grows mold, especially in damp areas.
People with allergies are usually sensitive to odors and odors can even trigger an attack. It is advisable to avoid scented make-up, scented tissues, perfumes, tobacco smoke, etc. Also, there are some laundry detergents and fabric softeners which are irritants.
Cat litter: plain clay litter is usually less irritating than scented litter. Deodorizing filters that contain chemicals only mask odors. Use litter which has low-dust or is dust free. Pour litter slowly into the pan to keep dust at a minimum.
If possible, have someone in the household without allergies do the vacuuming and litter box cleaning. If this is not an option, wear a pollen mask which can be obtained from a local drug store.
Free roaming (allowing your cat unattended outdoors) of the pet is discouraged. If your cat is allowed to roam free, it may be bringing home many irritants such as pollen, plant juices, poison ivy, etc.
The cat should be combed/brushed daily to control shedding. A coat conditioner should be added to its food to help prevent dry skin and reduce shedding. Coat conditioners can be purchased from pet supply stores or your veterinarian.
Bathe your cat about every six weeks. Use a veterinarian-approved shampoo and rinse the cat very well. Towel off the excess water when the pet is in the tub or sink.
If you are having difficulty with the washing, Cat Care Society can provide information on bathing techniques. Also, there are pet groomers in most cities and towns who have expertise in bathing cats. Usually for a small fee, they will bathe your cat(s) for you.
Avoid overheating or sudden chilling. Extreme temperatures and sudden changes in temperature can lower the infant's resistance if he/she is exposed to an irritant.
Stuffed animals and toys made of fabric are dust collectors. It is advisable to keep these objects away from the baby. Plastic, metal and wood toys and washable animals are preferable.
Before putting new clothes on your baby, wash them thoroughly to remove any excess dye or other chemicals that may be irritants.
There are remedies available at health food stores to help people with their allergies.
Many people report great relief after taking these medications.
It is also possible that medical treatment can be undertaken in the form of hyposensitization. A physician administers a series of injections of cat allergen extract that are gradually increased in strength until the patient is able to tolerate the cat's presence with minimal if any discomfort. Once this tolerance level is reached, maintenance injections keep the symptoms of the allergy under control so that the owner can live with the cat comfortably. Hyposensitization isn't always successful, but it is worth a try.
Prescription drugs have had varying degrees of success. They are for prevention and are not 100% effective. Please ask your doctor about prescription drugs for pet allergies.
Very often, people build up a "resistance" to their own pets and find that their allergy problem decreased as time passed. This is just one more reason not to give up your pet. While you are working at cleaning the air in your home environment, your body is probably also working toward an adjustment.

Hey sup! Been watching Young Justice for a while and I'm hooked on it! Anyways after the first season the idea for a Rp came to mind. Note: This will be set in the about 20 years after season 2 if all ended well. Also most of the main/official DC universe characters won't be involved that much i'll be us the OC super heroes!
Earth's Atmosphere:
Inside an unknown fleet:
"My lord, we've arrived at our destination." A voice spoke that belonged to a high ranking soldier of the Meklord Army, "Thank you, Wisel" spoke Wisel's superior, known as Meklord Emperor Creation. "My lord I've formulated a plan that we capture the members of the Justice League and proceed to phase 2 which I'm still working on." Meklord Skiel sneered out of smugness. "They'll never see the assault coming.. but to be sure can we use Asterix as well?" Skiel sugessted to his leader. "I give you my permission. Now let us make Earth our new home-land!" Boomed Creation.
Present Day:
The battle was short due to the fact that most of the Justice League were caught out of surprise of the Meklords, the assault devasted the whole world ripping it to nothing but destruction. At first the Heroes of the Earth had to upper hand to deal with the new enemy but over time the Meklords learnt their enemies fighting patterns and soon defeated them by exposing their weakness or countering their strategy. The Earth was divided into 2 sectors, the North and the South, each sector consisting of 4 areas where each of the Meklords elite ruled over. The humans were under the harsh rule of their new rulers who let them continue on but there was one rule they enforced, "Never turn on us!" anyone that even spoke a bad word about the Meklords were never seen again. A massive crime rate has surged due to this destruction working under the Meklords. Most people had lost hope in Heroes that were going to liberate them however a small few still believed.
How you are involved:
You have been gifted with extraodinary ablities/trained under a League member that you believe that can put the end of the rule of the Meklords and hopefully find their reason of the invasion. Batman has also tagged all 8 of you and has summoned you to Mount Justice to form the new Team. An A.I known as ROTA has also been installed into the facility to maintain the base and give missions and updates. Many of the Teams items remain such as the trophy room, sphere and the martian bio-ship. Once upon arriving and settling down there'll be a training exercise for the new team.
All rules of BMGF apply.
This is a teen rated Rp so romance will be allowed but nothing beyond passionate kissing.
No OP super heroes! Everyone has their flaws.
A JL member can only train one Rp'er first come first served.
Not every mission will be a sucess
No going evil unless a majority of Rp'ers approve on the OCC thread.
Have FUN!

SU Sheet:
Hero Name:
Appearance (Everyday)
Apperance (Hero)
My SU:
Name: Alexander (Alex) Wallis
Age: 17
Hero Name: Robin/Robin VI
Appearance (Everyday): Alex being instructed by his mentor not to reveal his secret identity at any costs. Following his mentors orders he usually dons a pair of black tinted sunglasses, to cover his eyes and wears a black hoodie accompanied with dark blue jeans. His foot ware is usually runners of some sort. Alex's build is lean and stands at average height for his age. His hair is all raven black and messy.
Appearnce (Hero): Robin VI is strikingly similar to the first Robin of the Team:
Personality: Alex and his alter-ego are basically the same person. Being trained under Batman for 5 years. Alex a brilliant strategist but is rash when executing his plan. Alex likes anyone that he get along and work with well making him compatible with any group however he believes himself to be more of a leader of any group due to fact he was trained by the Dark Knight making him think that anyone can follow his plans and lead.
History: Alex was sold by his parents at 7 to a slave trader where he would be stripped from all his organic organs and they'll be replaced by machine parts making him a robot essentially then being sold again for a higher price. However before he was picked up, Batman approached him and offered him to become the next Robin and fight the crime that still plauged the world. Alex accepted and trained under the Dark Knights wing along with former Robin Dick Grayson.
However soon Batman had to become more involved with the Justice League leaving Alex on hold since he was never allowed to venture out as Robin without Batman or another hero. Alex became bored and thought his days of Robin were over. Even during the Meklords descent to Earth Batman had strictly ordered him to lay low and Alex will be notified to go a discreet location where other heroes of his caliber will be meeting with him. Alex is currently living in Mount Justice and awaits the new members for the Team.
Mentor: Batman
Powers/gadgets: Alex/Robin posses no powers but is at peak human condition. Gadgets vary, however Alex always has his batarangs of all sorts, grappling hook, flash bangs, instant freeze pellets, laser heated cutter, smoke pellets and his signiture weapons his dual metal tonfas.
