A change in logo meant that uniforms worn by heating and air conditioning technicians working for any of Service Experts's 110 offices nationwide and in Canada had suddenly become obsolete.
But rather than discarding the clothing in Dumpsters and landfills, the company contacted Good360, an online donation clearinghouse based in Alexandria, Va., that will help collect like-new items and distribute them to those in need.
Close to 1,500 items — including men's and women's work shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, jackets, knit caps, sweatshirts and pants — have been gathered from all over the country, said Service Experts spokeswoman Karla Neely.
"The western region was number one in terms of contributions," Neely said, noting that $11,000 of the total $45,000 in clothing donations came from Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, South Dakota and Utah.
In the past, each Service Experts office had its own "legacy" name, said Kevin Perkins, manager of the branch in Midvale that was formerly called Thompson and Sons. "This year we gave up our legacy names so that there is only one brand," Perkins said, adding that "we had a lot of good clothes and didn't want them to go to waste."
The Midvale office, one of three in Utah, is gathering donations for several branches, Perkins added, and plans to ship them next week to a hub where Good360 can pick them up.
"We found Good360 through the Internet and interviewed them to see if they could work with our logistics," Neely said. "The experience so far has been excellent."
Good360 launched its product philanthropy venture in 1983 under the name Gifts In Kind.
According to its website, in its first three years the nonprofit distributed $44 million in surplus goods to qualified organizations, including 80,000 vacuum cleaners that were put to use in after-school programs and senior centers.
In April 2011, Gifts In Kind became Good360 and continues to distribute a variety of donated goods to many diverse groups, including job-training programs, homeless shelters, hospitals, churches, schools in need of technological equipment, foster care agencies, organizations that help communities rebuild after disasters, YMCAs, Head Start groups and Boys & Girls clubs. Ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the top 10 best-managed charities, Good360 has distributed more than $7 billion worth of goods since the network began almost three decades ago.

A number of factors might give parents of infants pause at the pool.
The biggest concern, says Jennifer Shu, pediatrician and coauthor of Heading Home With Your Newborn, is the temperature of the water. Babies get cold very easily and can develop problems like hypothermia and lethargy.
Young babies, who don't have good head control, may inhale water, causing choking, drowning, or – at the very least – irritation of the lungs.
Germs can certainly be an issue if a baby swallows a lot of water. This is especially true if other babies have been in the pool and their poop hasn't been contained well with swim diapers. In addition, the chlorine in pool water can cause skin irritation and rashes, as well as breathing problems similar to an asthma attack.

Topic - Falcon Crag Borrowdale
Dave Cumberland - on 22 Jul 2012
The pervasive Lake District bracken and jungle are taking over Falcon. It is almost impossible to get to the bottom of the crag. Local climbers - please go and clear the paths and route bases. These are classic multi-starred routes - no one is doing them, perhaps everyone is boulderbating or going abroad? Same at other valley crags - paths disappearing, jungle taking over after several years of cold, wet, sunless summers.
Give something back - Use it or lose it. Take bracken sticks or tools. At this rate the National Park Authority will achieve their ambition and climbing as we know it will end in the Lake District valley crags as they return to grass, heather, gorse, hawthorn, bracken and briar.

And just because I don't post at 12:00 midnight, doesn't mean I've missed a day, it just means I'm still up, and have to make something before I fall asleep.

The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context
An Archaeological Find and Its Mediterranean Context
When Shelley Wachsmann began his analysis of the small ship model excavated by assistants of famed Egyptologist W. M. F. Petrie in Gurob, Egypt, in 1920, he expected to produce a brief monograph that would shed light on the model and the ship type that it represented. Instead, Wachsmann discovered that the model held clues to the identities and cultures of the enigmatic Sea Peoples, to the religious practices of ancient Egypt and Greece, and to the oared ships used by the Bronze Age Mycenaean Greeks.
Although found in Egypt, the prototype of the Gurob model was clearly an Aegean-style galley of a type used by both the Mycenaeans and the Sea Peoples. The model is the most detailed representation presently known of this vessel type, which played a major role in changing the course of world history. Contemporaneous textual evidence for Sherden—one of the Sea Peoples—settled in the region suggests that the model may be patterned after a galley of that culture. Bearing a typical Helladic bird-head decoration topping the stempost, with holes along the sheer strakes confirming the use of stanchions, the model was found with four wheels and other evidence for a wagon-like support structure, connecting it with European cultic prototypes.
The online resources that accompany the book illustrate Wachsmann's research and analysis. They include 3D interactive models that allow readers to examine the Gurob model on their computers as if held in the hand, both in its present state and in two hypothetical reconstructions. The online component also contains high-resolution color photos of the model, maps and satellite photos of the site, and other related materials. Offering a wide range of insights and evidence for linkages among ancient Mediterranean peoples and traditions, The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context presents an invaluable asset for anyone interested in the complexities of cultural change in the eastern Mediterranean at the end of the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age.

Awesome mix of flowing color, ethereal music, and fun puzzle solving! I would enjoy a sandbox mode or a Symphony 2 as many others have said. On that note, I personally would enjoy having this style and sound to be used in a pseudo RPG puzzle game. Basically a puzzle game with a story, I'm thinking the story is where your universe (Colors and music style are selected at the start) is unstable and deharmonized. The goal of the game obviously would be to correct this, by solving the puzzles. Just a thought, keep up the incredible work!

"Home Theater System of the Year Award" from The Perfect Vision
"Scary Good" Floorstander with 10" Side-Sub
For full-frequency home theater excitement from smooth treble to the lowest bass, you can't beat the new NHT Classic Four. It's a floorstanding version of the Classic Three, which NHT says is the best bookshelf speaker that the company has ever produced. A bass enhancing 'tower speaker' cabinet gets a huge side-firing 10" passive subwoofer driver for the kind of music low frequency response you usually can't get without a dedicated powered subwoofer.
"Few systems this price can match the Classics' openness, detail, and three-dimensionality -- qualities guaranteed to enhance your enjoyment of music and films," reports Chris Martens in his December 2006 The Perfect Vision review of NHT's Classic Three, Four, and Three C center speakers. "The Classics' imaging is just scary good."
The Perfect Vision magazine liked the NHT so well, that it gave its "Home Theater System of the Year Award" to the Classic Four, Classic Three, and Classic Three C speakers.
"The room-shaking abilities of the Classic Four's 10-inch woofer appeared to extend well into the mi-30-hertz range in my large home theater," observes Steve Guttenberg in the April 2007 issue of Home Theater magazine. "I'd recommend starting out subwooferless, and then, if you want a little extra kick, biamp the Classic Fours with NHT's X1 crossover ($350) and A1 outboard amp ($400)."
The Classic Four also features a newly developed 6.5" aluminum cone bass driver and NHT's exclusive midrange / tweeter assembly.
"Spectacular Imaging"
"The imaging is spectacular in its scope and room-filling dimensions," marvels Steve Guttenberg in Home Theater. "The Classic speakers' image height, width, and depth approach what I've heard from the better electrostatic speakers. But electrostatics can't generally deliver the Classic Fours' dynamics and room-shaking bass."
The Classic Four works beautifully right out of the box with your existing home theater multi-channel amp or receiver. For even better performance, the Classic Four can be bi-amplified with NHT's optional A1 amplifier and X2 crossover.
Graceful Sound-Enhancing Cabinets
While the Classic series cabinets are beautiful, their shape is all about the business of making great sound. The graceful cabinets place every driver into a consistent predictable acoustical environment. For example, variable radius edges on the cabinet sides randomize diffraction from the midrange and tweeter drivers, aiding the speakers' dispersion of midrange and high-frequency sounds. Careful placement of the Four's built-in subwoofer guarantees tremendous deep bass response in almost any room.
Creating a Large Listening Area
By using two low distortion drivers mounted close together on a single plate, NHT is able to produce a speaker with a large listening area, lower distortion, and higher power handling than typical two-way designs.
All of the woofers in the Classic line feature frames made from BMC (Bulk Molding Compound). Usually a designer has to choose between inexpensive, mechanically sound materials such as ABS plastic and stamped steel, or expensive materials such as cast aluminum or magnesium that are ideal acoustically and mechanically. BMC delivers the best of both worlds. It is a cost effective material that is immensely stiff and easily shaped into acoustically ideal shapes.
Beautiful Environmentally Friendly Cabinet
The cabinet is made with MDF, a board manufactured primarily of wood residues from the production of lumber and plywood with a low percentage of virgin tree wood. NHT finishes them with seven coats of hand-finished polyurethane applied in a "solid particle" method that's safe for the environment. This finish is then sealed with two coats of automotive grade clear-coat to protect the finish. By avoiding exotic wood veneers, and using materials such as MDF, NHT doesn't sacrifice scarce natural resources to make acoustically sound furniture grade cabinets.
"The Classics present huge, spacious, three-dimensional soundstages -- the kind normally heard only from pricey high-end designs. The Classics' imaging is just scary good. For example, on John Abercrombie, Eddie Gomez, and Gene Jackson's Structures [Chesky SACD], a multichannel jazz recording that has no center channel mix, the Classic Fours produced such compelling center-fill images that guest listeners swore the center channel speaker was playing (though it was not)."
"The point is that the Classics' spatial characteristics can lift listeners out of their comfort zones to place them in the center of the action."
"Overall, I believe NHT's Classic system stands as a new mid-priced performance leader. Few systems this price can match the Classics' openness, detail, and three-dimensionality -- qualities guaranteed to enhance your enjoyment of music and films."
- Chris Martins' review of NHT's Classic Three, Four, and Three C center speakers, The Perfect Vision, December 2006

|One of the Best all Around Speakers You Can Buy
If you are a music lover with a diverse taste in music this is the speaker for you at a price that is hard to match. It does not have the detail of a ribbon on the top end, it does not have the liquid midrange of an electrostatic, but what it does have is the ability to reproduce every kind of music as it was recorded. The Classic 4s sound best with good amplification so do not try to push them with an 80 watt receiver. In my opinion you could spend twice the asking price and not get the performance these loudspeakers can offer. I have swithced back and forth through the years on exotic designs that are good for orchestral music, opera, classical, and jazz. I have spent countless hours in high end stereo boutiques thinking to myself, this sytem costs $ 75,000 and it does not come close to what I have at home. You could spend twice this speakers price and not get any better performance. Yes they are that good.
|- William S, IL
|The pound for pound champion
Bought these after a comparison with three much higher priced floor standers. The Classic Fours imaging and tranparency are staggering to the point of almost obviating the need for a home theater set up. Bass is fast and highly musical; not bloated.

Hi Mark,
Glad you liked the article - hopefully we can sort out what's going on...
If you follow the link from the first part of the article you will find the TextEdit sample project. Controller.java is simply one of the files used in that project. (
When you follow the steps outlined in the "Getting Started with Eclipse" section, you should see all of the java files in the eclipse Navigator panel ( or the Package Explorer if you prefer it :-) So you should be able to see Controller.java there.
If it's not showing up, make sure it's actually there on disk in the first place and hasn't been accidentally deleted at some point!
Let me know how it goes for you,

I found the original Controller.java file. I copied the code into a new file under the TextEdit folder in Eclipse (it was placed under a default package). Then I received several errors in Controller.java. Here are a few of the lines with errors:
- Under applicationShouldTerminate method:
Document document = Document.documentForWindow(window);
The error is on "Document"
The error is on "Preferences"
- Under applicationOpenFile method:
return Document.openDocumentWithURL(NSPathUtilities.URLWithPath(filename),
The error is on "Document" (there are other errors on this line that I won't list here).
There are more errors in Controller.java that I will not list here because they are similar errors. I am not sure if all of these errors are part of JAVA classes or Cocoa classes (I suspect Cocoa classes). Do I need to add more "import"'s to Controller.java? Or do I need to tell Eclipse where to find the Cocoa library? If the latter, is this because I created a new Java file and copied the code into a new file that Eclipse is confused on (and obviously this developer too)? In your article you showed us how to tell Eclipse where to find the Cocoa classes by creating a

BTW, I forgot to mention that I am using: Eclipse 3.2.0, MacOS X 10.4.6, Xcode 2.3, and JAVA 1.5.

Hi Mark,
It looks like you're nearly there ( but why did you have to copy the code from Controller.java? Why not just use Controller.java? ). It just looks like you haven't told Eclipse where to find all of the Cocoa classes.
If you follow steps 5 and 6 of "Tell Eclipse where to find the Cocoa classes" on page one, then it should sort it out for you. Those steps describe how to get Eclipse to add an external class folder - in this case /System/Library/Java where all of the Cocoa classes are stored.
Hope that helps,

Artist: Jean-Paul Bondy
Title: The Path Of Most Resistors
Cat No: CPT 199-1 / CPT 199-2
Format: 2-LP / CD / Download
Quotes: Funky, spaced out Electro! Hard Wax / Journey into electro circuit bass heavy jam with a dark funky edge. Sonic Groove / This man can do no wrong, been waiting for his stuff to find its way to vinyl, BUY IT, and BUY LOTS! DJ Anakin / A superb deep, filmy and complex electro digest… delightful dark and filled atmospheres, thanks to a brilliant juxtaposition of unhealthy strings over abstract vocals. Atome Centrale Digitale
Info: Better known as Volum and as one half of angry robots Volsoc (his musical partnership with Justin Maxwell), Jean-Paul Bondy's output to date has often been categorised as electro, but not as we know it, Jim. Since the early 90s Bondy has been bringing us his vision of a cartoon future of blips, bleeps, squeaks and tweaks, all fed through your speakers and straight into your brain by a rhythmic salvo of breakbeats, bass, and straight-up, glitched-up funk. Bondy's first solo album, The Path of Most Resistors marks the culmination of this effort to date, while at the same time representing a subtle departure – not just for Bondy, but for Compost too. Make no mistake; this is a record that is grounded in the kind of solid, machine funk grooves, synthetic melodies and sci-fi atmospheres that the best electro has always brought us. But as Bondy appears to have asked, why stop there. And that is why nestled in among dancefloor electro bombs like Xeno Persuasion and Prompted Some Observers, we also find some of Bondy's downtempo vocal experiments such as the metallic melancholy of Monochrome (featuring vocals from Product.01's Rochelle Vincente) and album closer Bit By Bit/Ear Worms, a twelve-and-a-half-minute collaborative epic featuring the additional production talents of John Tejada, Bass Kittens, David Deande, and Kay Knofe, as well as vocals from Alissa Keuker. Of course, Bondy has lots more talented friends and he wants you to be jealous, so UK electro legend Carl Finlow lends his characteristically fragile tones to current single Cold Reformer (already remixed by John Tejada, Product.01, Ruxpin, Weedjs, Bass Kittens and Evader). Forthcoming single Something Is Not Right features the warehouse party politics of Blood of Abraham and is set to come with remixes from none other than Si Begg and Robag Wruhme. And former robot companion Justin Maxwell is back to have his bits crushed on Dry Humper.

Hello Textbook people, I'm glad to be back, work has been crazy lately but hey, it pays my bills. Here we have Eleanor of Aquitane, basically the most bitchin' badass woman of medieval times. Eleanor was a highly educated, strong willed and fiercely political. When she was 15, she became Queen of France and traveled to fight in the second crusade. Yup, she fought in the crusades, good for her. After the crusade, she divorced her husband and married King Henry of England and had a rather unhappy marriage. Eight kids later, the couple was estranged and Eleanor sort of ran her own show and set up a salon called "The Court of Love" where the brightest minds of the age discussed love, marriage and duty. One of her sons chose to rebel against her husband and her support found her in prison for 16 years but she was set free after Henry died. She's also widely acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful women ever. Badass.

Countess Bathory was a serious woman. She ran one of the wealthiest family's in ye olde Hungary, was a devoted mother, clothes horse and serial killer. How ever did she manage it all? Such a modern woman. Of course, time weighs on us all and it weighed particularly heavy on our dear countess. As she grew older, she became obsessed with beauty and maintaining a youthful visage. Perhaps it was madness that lead her to believe that bathing in the blood of young virgin girls would keep her skin soft and attractive, or maybe it was old folklore, or maybe dogs told her. In any event, she turned her castle into a torture chamber—wandering virgins who wandered too close got the axe. The bloodthirsty countess even had a special cage installed as not to waste any of her precious facewash. Now, before I throw her under the bus again, it should be noted that her guilt is still questioned. In that time, a powerful widow was not something powerful men liked to suffer and it has been said that she was merely a pawn in a bigger play for power. Whether she committed the murders or not, she was sentenced to spend the end of her days bricked up in a suite of rooms at her castle. Ouch.

Hey, that rhymes. Ever read Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events? Well, Violet is one of the main characters and along with her brother and infant sister, she deals with, well, a lot of unfortunate events. There are leeches, evil troupes of actors, devilish counts and friendly deadly vipers. Yeah, it's pretty much like working at a fashionable fashion magazine of fashions (badumpshhhhh, kidding). Violet's main claim to fame is that she is an inventor and can quickly solve problems. Anyway, she's got a Wednesday Addams meets Elizabeth Bennet vibe, which is cool—and spot on for the fall collections.

Do you know who HATES Cruella Deville? PETA, that's who. Spending her days designing for her swanky label, House of Deville and spending her nights killing puppies, she's one of the meanest villains around. Yet, despite her obvious animal cruelty issues, she has impeccable style. I can't condone the killing of dalmatian puppies and everybody has their own preference on fur but hot damn, she's an eccentric dresser.

The primary research efforts at the Aquarium of the Pacific are focused on species propagation. We have also developed collaborative relationships with various outside researchers and institutions who wish to study the species in our collection. In addition, our team of scientific divers support a variety of agencies and researchers in the field by collecting data.
Below are the research projects (in PDF form where available) that the Aquarium of the Pacific has been involved in since the inception of MCRI.

Ecosystems and Fisheries
The report explores the impacts a rising sea and associated storm surges will have on the U.S. and nations throughout the world, and on coastal living resources. It describes areas at greatest risk and offers suggestions for increasing the resilience of coastal communities.
In May 2009, the Aquarium brought together a group of leading marine scientists, informal educators, communicators, exhibit designers, and public policy experts to identify and explore major ocean issues and to develop documents and strategies to engage the public in these issues.
Support for the conference was provided by NOAA, NSF, Southern California Edison, the Marine Conservation Research Institute of the Aquarium of the Pacific, Kings Seafood, and Santa Monica Seafood.

Critical Condition: Ocean Health and Human Health
This report explores the interconnectedness of ocean health and human health. The ocean provides benefits to human health including controlling our climate, providing a rich source of healthy protein, providing a source for new medicines, and providing recreational and aesthetic benefits. Yet the ocean also harbors marine toxins and disease causing agents. Human actions are adversely impacting the ocean, increasing these risks and despoiling the beneficial ocean resources. This report explores these concepts and describes some of the actions being taken to mitigate the risks.

Is Offshore Finfish Aquaculture in the Southern California Bight an Idea Whose Time Has Come?
The per capita consumption of seafood in the greater Los Angeles area is approximately twice the national average, and the demand continues to grow as population increases and people become more aware of the health benefits of eating seafood. How will the demand for seafood be met? Is sustainable aquaculture part of the answer?
In September 2008 the Aquarium convened a group of proponents of aquaculture, opponents, and the undecided to answer the question:
Is there an opportunity for development of offshore finfish aquaculture in the Southern California Bight?

Aquaculture Siting Workshop
On July 16, 2007 the Aquarium of the Pacific organized and facilitated a day and a half workshop that brought together scientists, restaurateurs, participants from the aquaculture industry, and representatives of governmental agencies to explore siting of fish farms in state and federal waters of the Southern California Bight.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Sorry, I meant that about War III. Warcraft III is when the story seemed to shift. It was also really disjointed. It was one story arc for the human and scourge chapters, and then one story for the orc/NE chapters. It basically means the humans got short changed on their hero. There is one central character per arc, except for those first two. It wasn't really a problem to me till WoW. The whole overall story frequently makes me go wtf now. It seems like Metzen was metaphorically writing LotR and killed off Aragorn in Act II with the killing of Lothar. He ripped off every other cheesy fall to the dark side with Arthas. And Uther is barely a footnote in that game. Medivh was redeemed and shuffled off scene. Don't even get me started on Me'dan. Varian seems like their attempt to make a great Alliance character, and they've pretty well botched that with the comics. (even if I actually like him) It's a crying shame. There is a lot of potential there, and it's totally wasted. I still keep hoping they'll go the route of the Númenóreans in LotR with Stromgarde and Arathi. Lothar was the MAN. Even Uther would have been a great champion. It's a shame they're gone. Same thing with Medivh. Spoilers! After the most recent book about Thrall where he shows up and the Last Guardian, I think he's awesome as well.

10 more days w/o counter & water - help!
As our kitchen renovation nears completion (most of it is now back in place, as opposed to the living and dining rooms), I am getting antsy - and the water has only been turned off since last Thursday!
I have NO countertops - other than a big cutting board I put on a cabinet for lunch prep. I have NO running water, including in the dishwasher: With current temperatures, I refuse to 1) wash dishes in the bathrooms and 2) wash dishes with the garden hose. So, I am a contributing member of the throw away society fro two weeks.
So it's either keep it simple and disposable, or order out. We both like to eat well (read: lowfat) and I'm a vegetarian (read: eggplant parm from the takeout joint isn't lowfat); so we'd like to avoid ordering out EVERY night.
Thinking with throw-out aluminum baking dishes, I could do a decent amount of casserole type foods. But all I can think of are red-sauce italian dishes (lasagna, manicotti, etc.), which so happens to be the easiest (almost only) takeout around us.
So I turn to you for help: Any other super-easy suggestions, with minimal use of actual pots,, pans, counter space and cutlery?
ETA: I do have every other kitchen staple, such as the stove, microwave, etc.
Having a hard time getting my head around the issue, but I guess it's that you don't really want to wash the prep utensils and pots?
I'd get a supply of those Ziploc steamer bags for cooking in the microwave. You can also heat up foods on paper plates for a brief amount of time. And I cook potatoes and yams wrapped in a paper towel all the time.
re: mlgb
Sorry, I'll clarify: Problem is we have no running water or countertops in the kitchen. Since my only cleaning options are doing them in the bathtub or going outside in 12-degree weather, I would be forever indebted for "creative" solutions where I can still feel we're eating somewhat well with minimal "dirt" (so as not to clog the bathroom sinks). Ideally one-dish, minimal mess *and minimal prep) meals. Anything I can think of is limited to Italian-type dishes, and I know there has to be more out there.
I'm trying to think up the things I make when we go camping, since that's also a minimal water but good food necessary, kind of experience. Unfortunately, I'm not vege, so I keep thinking of meat foods however these come to mind: baked potatoes in foil, kebabs (grilled). I'm assuming you have a crockpot or rice cooker, how about chilli? Or any kind of one pot meal, steam in the microwave vegetables and baked potatoes and you have a decent meal. i would google some camping recipes, perhaps that would offer a greater source of meatless easy to make, low fuss recipes.
re: danhole
It sounds like they actually have water, just don't feel like doing washing up in the bathroom.
I think it's just a matter of eating the normal stuff (whatever that is), using microwave and oven for the cooking, and being more creative about what you're cooking in. EG you can broil on top of aluminum foil, use those aluminum roasters in the oven for lots of things you'd normally cook on the stovetop, microwave in a bag or on a plate.
In the morning I'd be doing cold cereals, yogurt, and fruit. Maybe soycheese and bagels. You can cook most of the soy product type fake meat in the microwave (Gardenburgers hotdogs etc).
re: danhole
When my kitchen was torn up, I just used those giant things of bottled water with the spigot to avoid hauling pots of water from the bathroom. I missed the cooktop more than the water. And you could move a little table into the kitchen for more countertop space (assuming there's room for it, otherwise put another piece of plywood or something over the cabinet.
I think OP just needs some love.
I had another thought - if you use the oven for broiling or re-heating something, put a piece of foil on the pan so that you don't have to wash the pan afterwards. The Non stick foil works great. Also think about those oven bags.
Good luck!
Hmm... can you get those boil-in-the-bag Indian foods near you? The big brand name is Tasty Bites but there are others. I use those camping because of the no dishes factor. They have a kind a Trader Joe's but lots of regular groceries carry them as well.
Sometimes they have Thai food this way as well.
I have served them with coucous because that is simple as well. You could steam the couscous in a disposable dish. Or I think boil-in-a-bag rice exists as well, though I could never imagine why before now.
In either case your pots would only ever touch water!
Thanks you all for the thoughts. I have seen those Indian meals in the store before; could be worth a try. (And boil in a bag rice was my significant other's staple before I brought real rice into his life ... we still have a few boxes because he would never let me toss them)
I, too, keep trying to think of camping cooking strategies, and keep getting stuck. When I was growing up, it was spam and baked beans.
Had I thought more effectively ahead of time, I would have pre-frozen some dishes. But I thought eating take out would be a "fun break" - it was; for a long weekend.
Seriously, thank you all. I spent my entire day obsessing, and not progressing, over "what can I make" thoughts.
re: alexajord
If you're worried about prep waste, just put a plastic bag in the sink and cut the prep into that. I'd probably just cheat and buy frozen vegetables. You can cook the ones that come in a box straight in the box (with the wrapper off of course).
Good luck with the remodel! Can't even imagine 12 degree weather, either.
Quesadillas. Grate some cheese onto a tortilla, add whatever toppings you like -- very thinly sliced mushrooms, spinach, cilantro, sliced green onions, sliced tomatoes, etc. Stick it in the toaster oven. When the cheese is melted you can grab it carefully and quickly slide it onto a paper towel. All you've used is the grater and a knife.


text: Description: One of the most popular trails in Zion, the Emerald Pools offer varying degrees of length and difficulty. This is an especially good hike for families with young children. The trail is paved to the Lower Pool and those in wheelchairs can make it with a little help along the way. The trails all connect and the hike can easily be made into a loop with other longer options to the Grotto and Sand Bench Horse Trail. A spring-fed waterfall is always running at the Lower Pool. Larger waterfalls will run at the Middle and Upper Pools after rainstorms or when snow is melting. The Middle Emerald Pools Trail is closed this winter because of trail damage from heavy rainfall over the year. Repairs will begin when the soil stops slumping onto the trail. The Middle and Upper Emerald Pools are still accessible by taking the Lower Emerald Trail. Sometimes the Lower Trail is closed at the base of the waterfalls because of falling ice. Visitors can still reach the Middle and Upper Emerald Pools be hiking on the Kayenta from the Grotto. There are no dogs allowed on the trails at Zion National Park. There is a $20 vehicle fee to enter the park. Check for closures before embarking on the popular Emerald Pools trails.

Visiting from Montreal - Any suggestions?
Hi NY Hounds,
We are a couple of thirty-ish foodies from Montreal planning a weekend this fall with a couple of friends and are looking for new ideas. Our last trip to NY was quite successful with some very good meals, in particular at Ko. We also enjoyed Minetta Tavern, Mr.Wells, Bar Boulud, as well as Ssam Bar.
This time, we have already on our list NoMad, Acme, Fedora and another visit at Ssam or Noodle bar, unless we get insider tips from NY Hounds...
Our favorite places in Montreal now are Le Comptoir, Le Filet, La Salle à Manger, Kazu, and Pastaga. Common to all these places is good atmosphere, young crowd, nothing too fancy but serious work in the kitchen, mostly small plates, and elaborated wine lists.
Thank you in advance for your help!
re: commuter89
It's pretty fancy, white tablecloth, wouldn't you say? Prix fixe required, not really small plates or a young crowd.
If you liked Ko and Ssam, try Ma Peche.
And look into Fatty Cue and Mission Chinese. Lots of interesting, bold, Asian accented flavors there.
Fedora is a good choice. Gabe Stulman's Perla (a few blocks away) might also interest you.
If you liked Bar Boulud, and you like offal, look into Takashi. Reservations are only for 4+ people.
For other buzzy, interesting, small plate options:
Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya
Bar Room at the Modern
Empellon Cocina
i go to montreal often and just recently had dinner at le comptoir. i think you may enjoy the following:
-casa mono...raciones...bigger than tapas...but big flavor. imagine is joe beef did tapas and you are in the ballpark. get the foie gras with 5 kinds of onions, the razor clams, the rabbit, the sepia with salsa verde. all delicious and a great spanish wine list.
-ushiwakamaru for sushi...a no frills sushi bar with excellent fish and cold beer. i dont think montreal has good sushi. id recommend you go here. prices are reasonable considering the quality.
-shopsins for breakfast...closed on sunday and saturday is usually packed but for breakfast, its just insane and a good experience. get the pancake sampler.
-some outer boroughs recommendations: franny's in park slope for pizza and pasta and small plates...just awesome. ayada in queens for thai. vinegar hill house for a nice night out in vinegar hill/dumbo.
as for your restaurants, im not a fan of fedora's food at all. i actually hated my meal there. i occasionally get roped into a drink there at the bar but even that is barely tolerable. im sure you see the apdc link with their chef but the food just plain sucks.
i like acme but the food is super salty. i suppose id go there with a group but its like a club...not entirely good for a nice dinner with a significant other.
re: sam1
Casa Mono is pretty popular -- you might face a long wait. Especially if you are more than 2. The restaurant is fairly small. You may wait outside or at the bar next door (Bar Jamon) but not inside.
For Ushiwakamaru, make a reservation. Since you're more than 2 people, you'll have to sit at a table, most likely. It's not a huge place. I've been turned away without a reservation before.
Shopsin's IS open on Sundays. You cannot dine at Shopsin's with more than 4 people, either. Also they don't take names down, you just wait in line to eat.
Here are their hours:
Wednesday to Saturday
9:00am – 2:00pm
10:00am – 2:00pm
Monday & Tuesday
If you like Kazu, then New York has some major izakayas that you might find even better. Sagakura-very cool and a bit hard to find-downstairs in an office building on 43rd street. Young Japanese expats there. 100s of different sakes and very well executed Japanese tapas. For more "downtowny" more hip Izakaya in very him area, try Decibel. Related to Sagakura. For amazing meal midtown try Yakitori Totto or Ramen Totto depending on your orientation. Young crowd great food. If you want the best Japanese restaurant in NYC, get reservations right away-it's a vegeterrean place that serves a 10 course meal for under $90. It's called Kajitsu and has 2 michelin stars. Tori Shin has a Michelin star-very nice specializing in grilled chicken. En Bistro is very hip and nice with lots of style. Finally, Home made tofu every hour. All of these are of similar quality to the ones you like in Montreal, but much better than Kazu. If you want yakiniku, Takashi is very cool, though pricey-it serves all kinds of meat with an amazing grill that you do yourself. More hip version of that style of cooking is Yakiniku west, in the St. Marks area.
You owe it to yourself to go for lunch at Le Bernardin. Very reasonably priced at lunch, and that's perhaps the best restaurant in NYC. It's not a young hip crowd, though. Very old fogey foodies there. But the chef is also from Bretagne like the cehf at Le Comptoir, with amazing skills and world reknown. Not a "small plates" place. This is a museum to great food preparation, seafood oriented.
Very cool place; momofuko ramen since you have already enjoyed David Chung's restaurants before. But totto ramen has better ramen.
Motorino is arguably the best pizza in New York with a very cool wine list. It's a creation of a chef from Belgium, and was determined by Ed Levine to be the best pizza in the U.S. I wouldn't go that far, but it's cheap, fund and wonderful. Neapolitan style-very authentic with tomatoes from San Marzano Italy, mozzarella di bufala and flour from Italy as well.
Aldila is worth a trip to Brooklyn; authentic Venetian cuisine, but no reservations accepted. Very hip out in Brooklyn.
Lupa is very cool restaurant by Batali. Younger crowd and small plates-different than Babbo (which is very nice) Eataly has some amazing fun choices and is a very nice place to go. It's really worth a trip.
Good eating.
re: foodlovergeneral
Just wanted to point out that Kajitsu lost one star this year, so they are down to one. Otherwise, some great suggestions there (going to Tori Shin next week for the first time myself).
re: porkpa
Second the nomination for Craft-very very good and very elemental. Something similar to Chez Panisse-Alice Waters' restaurant in Berkeley and the showcase of Tom Colicchio. Best roast chicken in New York, arguably.
I have heard very interesting things about the Vin sur Vingt-wine bar with bistro cuisine started by Parisian. Their menu is very classic French bistro with French wines. Might be a good comparable for Le Comptoir in Montreal. (I presume you mean the Comptoir Vin et Charcuterie and not the bistro on Phillips square-right?)
Let us all know how your visit went.
One other great place that is very hard to get into due to popularity is Hakata Tonton-it's Japanese specializing in many types of pig meat including "pied au cochon". It's so good, but hard to get into. Try it. Amazing. I think it meats your criterion-fun, hip, great food, cheap. It's like a Japanese version of the great Montreal resto Pied au Cochon, but perhaps not so intensely overpoweringly rich, and quite a bit cheaper.

Q&A: I am now 26-weeks pregnant and have a severe cough that makes it hard to breathe and sleep.
I am now 26-weeks pregnant and have a severe cough that makes it hard to breathe and sleep. Sometimes I even throw up because of the violent coughing. What cough medicine can I take for this? I'm miserable.
Ask your doctor about something with dm (Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide) in it. It's sold over the counter. Such conditions can affect sleep, fatigue, your ability to fight infection due to exhaustion, and nutrition. Also, a chonic cough needs evaluation from an Ear-Nose-Throat specialist's standpoint to rule out chest conditions and laryngeal polyps.

This review is from: Sennheiser Black MM 550-X Around-Ear Foldable Wireless Bluetooth Travel Headphone
Pros: Great Battery Life. Bluetooth to ANYTHING CPU/Phone with mic (Make calls listen to music) does it all Audio boost the SRS works great.. takes reduced quality MP3's and gives them a lift.. Better sound than any corded device I own. Paired very easily and is of a very solid construction. I have a large head and they fit great and I blast them at work and until I take them off people sitting around me have NO IDEA how loud it really is (Until that soft leather seal around my ear is broken) comfortable and light weight. You need a Bluetooth connection if you do not already have one (like an older machine or desktop without one built in) but they are cheap and easy to install so not an issue by any means. They also collapse into an awesome case that comes with all the extras and charging cords and connectors to wire it if you need to go wired! Lots of extras included.
Cons: Expensive! But get what you pay for!
Other Thoughts: I bought them before the price drop and I would do it again!

This review is from: Sennheiser Black MM 550-X Around-Ear Foldable Wireless Bluetooth Travel Headphone
Pros: Expectations met. You could get better audio quality for the same price with a wired set, but for Bluetooth these are remarkable. Probably the best wireless headphones on the market. These make wired beats studio headphones sound like cheap buds in comparison.
Cons: Not so hot with SRS.
Other Thoughts: Pricey, but when you consider the extras you're getting, and the price you'd pay for a set of good cans with an amp to do them justice, I'd say these are appropriately priced.
