Cucci is one of the best restaurants in Oakville you've never heard of.
Small and handsome, Cucci keeps a low profile just off the main drag near Bronte Rd. Even the chef's devotion to local foods – usually trumpeted from the rooftops – is kept quiet.
"We're just a small little restaurant in Oakville," demurs owner Doug Greco, who opened Cucci two years ago. "We try not to be too big on ourselves."
Cucci's impeccable service is worth bragging about. The hospitality is so warm and effortless that we forgive the occasional kitchen flubs.
Wait staff call diners "The Gentleman" and "The Lady," as in, "What would The Gentleman care to drink?" The answer is: Anything recommended by sommelier Julio Vargas (ex-Milos in Montreal), whose erudition and enthusiasm lead to some brilliant pairings from the short wine list.
It's a given that coats are whisked away and napkins placed on laps. What's surprising are the small touches, like the offer of reading glasses in different strengths or tabletop purse hooks for female diners. Instead of $8 bottles of Perrier, there are bottomless carafes of sparkling and still water, no charge.
While the service may be old-school, Cucci is far from antiquated. For one thing, it looks like the "after" shot of a design makeover: stone mosaic walls, gas fireplace, chunky crystal candle holders. Live jazz plays on Fridays.
The food, too, is modern, although executive chef Gordon Goss, 33, has a healthy respect for tradition – not to mention a resumé that includes Canoe and the Millcroft Inn.
Goss, who has a reverence for Jamie Oliver, tackles the Italian cannon with diligence yet manages to teach old culinary dogs some fetching new tricks.
"We don't forget the chefs and people of the past who brought us to where we are today," Goss says.
"We just take it a little further."
Case in point: The retro-sounding creamed mushroom appetizer ($13). Goss uses five kinds of mushrooms (honey, king oyster, oyster, cremini and shiitake), folds in baby arugula for colour and garnishes with toasted pine nuts. Even the toast is exciting: grilled calabrese bread brushed with garlic oil.
Exhibit B: The escargots ($12), served in a tiny red Le Creuset Dutch oven. Underneath the snails is a thin layer of melted fontina. Underneath that is an exemplary soft polenta hinting at rosemary. Who needs garlic butter?
Once past a substandard breadbasket and the usual rubbery calamari ($13), matters take a delicious turn. Crespelle ($11) are crisp-edged crepes layered with roasted vegetables. Caesar salad ($10) is light and bright thanks to horseradish and sriracha in the dressing; warm hunks of confited pork belly stand in nicely for bacon bits.
The kitchen wisely doesn't fuss over an incredibly juicy roast chicken breast ($26). The sides – creamy mashed celeriac, caramelized carrots, port-roasted cipollini onions and homemade cranberry sauce – deliberately evoke Thanksgiving dinner.
Frayed Digby scallops ($34) are not stellar examples of their genre but at least the lemon-scented risotto beneath isn't overcooked. The same cannot be said for gooey gnocchi ($20). The gnocchi, along with stiff ravioli ($25), are made in-house and are the weakest link in Cucci's fresh pasta chain.
The remaining pastas, made elsewhere, are excellent. A Tuscan-style braised boar sauce would be my usual preference for al dente pappardelle ($23) but Goss does quite well substituting New York striploin trimmings. Chili heat builds.
It doesn't get any simpler, or better, than spaghetti with lobster ($30). There are just four ingredients, three if you don't count the pasta: organic tomato sauce made like Nonna's, fresh chunks of poached lobster meat and torn basil. Each complements the other, earth and sea in perfect harmony.
After this, it is highly disagreeable to be served desserts made elsewhere. This is a fine-dining no-no, equivalent to letting a stranger kiss your date goodnight. Cucci cites limited kitchen resources. (Goss has the grace to be ashamed and vows to start baking more.) To add insult to injury, the sweets aren't very good – even the crème brûlée, made in-house.
The final impression is a good one, as servers help us on with coats and say goodbye at the door. We could all use one more restaurant that treats us right.
It's time for Cucci to stop hiding its light under a bushel.

[choucha] refugee protest in tunisia

Break the isolation!
About 100 rejected asylum seekers from the refugee camp in Choucha are currently protesting in the Tunisian capital.
About 100 refugees from the refugee camp in Choucha, which lies on the border between Tunisia and Libya, reached Tunis on Monday 28th January in order to stage a protest that will continue for several days. They had no choice but to live in the desert for two years while the UNHCR negligently worked on their cases, and eventually rejected them as refugees. Since October 2012 they have been denied access to food and medical care. Now the protesters have taken the necessary steps to challenge their isolation and the consequent lack of prospects.

Does An Author's Personal Life Influence You?
Some of the most commented on posts at 101 Books are the post in which I ask a simple question. We usually have a lot of great discussion in the comments.
So with that in mind, I thought I'd make this a weekly thing. From now on, every Monday I will feature the "Monday Question" on the blog. It will be a simple, straightforward book-related question for you guys. I'll give you some of my initial thoughts and then turn the floor over to you in the comments. Hopefully, it will provoke some new thoughts and entertaining discussions.
So let's get started.

By 2018, U.S. manufacturing costs could dip enough to beat China's
American factories were gaining competitiveness, a private study finds. Out of 25 largest exporting countries, only seven were less expensive than U.S.

WASHINGTON—U.S. manufacturers have grown more competitive over the past decade compared with factories in China, Brazil and most of the world's other major economies, says a new private study.
The study also found that rising wages and higher energy costs have diminished China's long-standing edge over the United States. So has a boom in U.S. shale gas production. It reduced U.S. natural gas prices and slowed the cost of electricity.
The Boston Consulting Group is issuing a report Friday on its study of manufacturing costs in the 25 biggest exporting countries. Only seven of those countries had lower manufacturing costs than the United States did this year. And since 2004, U.S. manufacturers have improved their competitiveness compared with every major exporter except India, Mexico and the Netherlands.
In 2004, for example, manufacturing in China cost 14 per cent less than manufacturing in the United States. By this year, the China advantage had narrowed to 5 per cent. If the trends continue, Boston Consulting found, U.S. manufacturing will be less expensive than China's by 2018.
Over the past decade, labour costs, adjusted to reflect productivity gains, shot up 187 per cent at factories in China, compared with 27 per cent in the United States. The value of China's currency has risen more than 30 per cent against the U.S. dollar over the past decade.
The higher Chinese currency made goods produced in China and sold abroad comparatively more expensive. And foreign goods became comparatively more affordable in China.
Chinese electricity costs rose 66 per cent, more than double the United States' 30 per cent increase. The start of large-scale U.S. shale gas production in 2005 has helped contain electricity bills in the United States and neighbouring Canada and Mexico.
China, too, has reserves for shale gas. But it will need years to develop them.
"This is not something you can turn on overnight," said Justin Rose, a partner at Boston Consulting and co-author of the study.
Brazil has lost even more ground than China. In 2004, manufacturing was 3 per cent cheaper in Brazil than in the United States. By 2014, Brazil was 23 per cent more expensive. Brazilian factories didn't improve efficiency enough to offset rising energy and labour costs.
The countries where manufacturing was cheaper than in the United States are Indonesia, India, Mexico, Thailand, China, Taiwan and Russia.
Australia was the most expensive country for manufacturing. Its costs were 30 per cent higher than those in the United States.
The survey doesn't include transportation costs, which vary depending on where goods are shipped. Several countries also face obstacles not captured by Boston Consulting's manufacturing cost index — from corruption to inefficient government bureaucracies.

Ohio among 25 best states for entrepreneurs
Send this to a friend
- Staff Cincinnati Business Courier
Ohio moved up 18 spots in a ranking of states by their entrepreneurship environment, Columbus Business First reported.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's State Entrepreneurship Index shows Ohio moved to No. 22 from No. 40 a year ago.
Indiana and Kentucky didn't perform as well as the Buckeye State. Indiana ranked No. 40, up five spots from last year, while Kentucky fell 15 spots to No. 46.
The index assigns a value for five different categories based on each state's deviation from the median, which receives a value of 1.0. So a state that's one standard deviation above the median gets a value of 2.0. The five components are a state's percentage growth and per capita growth of business establishments, its business formation rate, the number of patents per thousand residents, and income per non-farm proprietor.
Ohio's overall value was 1.09. It received a rating above 1.0 for all categories except business formation, in which it ranked No. 46 with a -0.07 rating, up from No. 49 a year ago. Ohio jumped to No. 16 from No. 40 a year ago in the ranking of establishment growth, which measures growth of new and existing businesses.

Can Nanogrids Move Humanity Forward?
Photo: Mixtribe
In the next 10 years, two-thirds of global economic growth will be in developing countries. Yet, 800 million people currently have no access to clean water and 400 million people in India alone have no electricity. By 2040, Africa will have more people than China and India combined. How can so much growth occur where so many people do not have access to basic necessities to live? The answer may lie with Nanogrids. Continue Reading →

South Africa platinum strike causing 'irreparable' damage - producers
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Platinum producers Anglo American Platinum (AMSJ.J), Impala Platinum (IMPJ.J) and Lonmin (LMI.L) said on Tuesday a strike now in its ninth week at their South African mines was causing irreparable damage to the sector and local economy.
Wage talks between the companies and the striking AMCU union have broken down, although the world's top three platinum producers said they were open to discussions "within a reasonable settlement zone".

If you ask five different experts you will get maybe five different opinions what cloud computing is. And all five may be correct. The best definition of cloud computing that I have ever found is the National Institute of Standards and Technology Definition of Cloud Computing. According to NIST the cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models. In this post I will look at the essential characteristics only, and compare to the traditional computing models; in future posts I will look at the service and deployment models.
Because computing always implies resources (CPU, memory, storage, networking etc.), the premise of cloud is an improved way to provision, access and manage those resources. Let's look at each essential characteristic of the cloud:
On-Demand Self-Service
Essentially what this means is that you (as a consumer of the resources) can provision the resources at any time you want to, and you can do this without assistance from the resource provider.
Here is an example. In the old days if your application needed additional computing power to support growing load, the process you normally used to go through is briefly as follows: call the hardware vendor and order new machines; once the hardware is received you need to install the Operating System, connect the machine to the network, configure any firewall rules etc.; next, you need to install your application and add the machine to the pool of other machines that already handle the load for your application. This is a very simplistic view of the process but it still requires you to interact with many internal and external teams in order to complete it - those can be but are not limited to hardware vendors, IT administrators, network administrators, database administrators, operations etc. As a result it can take weeks or even months to get the hardware ready to use.
Thanks to the cloud computing though you can reduce this process to minutes. All this lengthy process comes to a click of a button or a call to the provider's API and you can have the additional resources available within minutes without. Why is this important?
Because in the past the process involved many steps and usually took months, application owners often used to over provision the environments that host their application. Of course this results in huge capital expenditures at the beginning of the project, resource underutilization throughout the project, and huge losses if the project doesn't succeed. With cloud computing though you are in control and you can provision only enough resources to support your current load.
Broad Network Access
Well, this is not something new - we've had the Internet for more than 20 years already and the cloud did not invent this. And although NIST talks that the cloud promotes the use of heterogeneous clients (like smartphones, tablets etc.) I do think this would be possible even without the cloud. However there is one important thing that in my opinion the cloud enabled that would be very hard to do with the traditional model. The cloud made it easier to bring your application closer to your users around the world. "What is the difference?", you will ask. "Isn't it that the same as Internet or the Web?" Yes and no. Thanks to the Internet you were able to make your application available to users around the world but there were significant differences in the user experience in different parts of the world. Let's say that your company is based on California and you had a very popular application with millions of users in US. Because you are based in California all servers that host your application are either in your basement or in a datacenter that is nearby so that you can easily go and fix any hardware issues that may occur. Now, think about the experience that your users will get across the country! People from East Coast will see slower response times and possibly more errors than people from the West. If you wanted to expand globally then this problems will be amplified. The way to solve this issue was to deploy servers on the East Cost and in any other part of the world that you want to expand to.
With cloud computing though you can just provision new resources in the region you want to expand to, deploy your application and start serving your users.
It again comes to the cost that you incur by deploying new data centers around the world versus just using resources on demand and releasing them if you are not successful. Because the cloud is broadly accessible you can rely on having the ability to provision resources in different parts of the world.
Resource Pooling
One can argue whether resource pooling is good or bad. The part that brings most concerns among users is the colocation of application on the same hardware or on the same virtual machine. Very often you can hear that this compromises security, can impact your application's performance and even bring it down. Those have been real concerns in the past but with the advancement in virtualization technology and the latest application runtimes you can consider them outdated. That doesn't mean that you should not think about security and performance when you design your application.
The good side of the resource pooling is that it enabled cloud providers to achieve higher application density on single hardware and much higher resource utilization (sometimes going up to 75% to 80% compared to the 10%-12% in the traditional approach). As a result of that the price for resource usage continues to fall. Another benefit of the resource pooling is that resources can easily be shifted where the demand is without the need for the customer to know where those resources come from and where are they located. Once again, as a customer you can request from the pool as many resources as you need at certain time; once you are done utilizing those you can return them to the pool so that somebody else can use them. Because you as a customer are not aware what the size of the resource pool is, your perception is that the resources are unlimited. In contrast in the traditional approach the application owners have always been constrained by the resources available on limited number of machines (i.e. the ones that they have ordered and installed in their own datacenter).
Rapid Elasticity
Elasticity is tightly related to the pooling of resources and allows you to easily expand and contract the amount of resources your application is using. The best part here is that this expansion and contraction can be automated and thus save you money when your application is under light load and doesn't need many resources.
In order to achieve this elasticity in the traditional case the process would look something like this: when the load on your application increases you need to power up more machines and add them to the pool of servers that run your application; when the load on your application decreases you start removing servers from the pool and then powering them off. Of course we all know that nobody is doing this because it is much more expensive to constantly add and remove machines from the pool and thus everybody runs the maximum number of machines all the time with very low utilization. And we all know that if the resource planning is not done right and the load on the application is so heavy that the maximum number of machines cannot handle it, the result is increase of errors, dropped request and unhappy customers.
In the cloud scenario where you can add and remove resource within minutes you don't need to spend a great deal of time doing capacity planning. You can start very small, monitor the usage of your application and add more and more resources as you grow.
Measured Service
In order to make money the cloud providers need the ability to measure the resource usage. Because in most cases the cloud monetization is based on the pay-per-use model they need to be able to give the customers break down of how much and what resources they have used. As mentioned in the NIST definition this allows transparency for both the provider and the consumer of the service.
The ability to measure the resource usage is important in to you, the consumer of the service, in several different ways. First, based on historical data you can budget for future growth of your application. It also allows you to better budget new projects that deliver similar applications. It is also important for application architects and developers to optimize their applications for lower resource utilization (at the end everything comes to dollars on the monthly bill).
On the other side it helps the cloud providers to better optimize their datacenter resources and provide higher density per hardware. It also helps them with the capacity planning so that they don't end up with 100% utilization and no excess capacity to cover unexpected consumer growth.
Compare this to the traditional approach where you never knew how much of your compute capacity is utilized, or how much of your network capacity is used, or how much of your storage is occupied. In rare cases companies were able to collect such statistics but almost never those have been used to provide financial benefit for the enterprise.
Having those five essential characteristics you should be able to recognize the "true" cloud offerings available on the market. In the next posts I will go over the service and deployment models for cloud computing.

How do you know when a technology has become mainstream? A good clue may be when politicians start talking about it on the campaign trail and with mainstream media. David Cameron, the UK prime minister, was the latest, indicating that the world was now on "fast-forward" with the Internet of Things (IoT) ushering in the new industrial revolution. No mention of IoT targeted at the masses would be complete without the clichéd example of the communicating fridge. While it is easy to get caught up in...

In my recent article, "Software Quality Metrics for your Continuous Delivery Pipeline – Part III – Logging," I wrote about the good parts and the not-so-good parts of logging and concluded that logging usually fails to deliver what it is so often mistakenly used for: as a mechanism for analyzing application failures in production.

Is Chris Bosh a leader? Not in Toronto, according to coach
Sep 27, 2010, 2:24 PM EDT
Part of the problem in Toronto last season, part of the reason the Raptors folded and did not make the playoffs, was a lack of leadership in that locker room.
That according to Raptors coach Jay Triano, who also told Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel that you better not expect leadership out of Bosh in Miami, that Bosh tends to defer to people.
When you talk about Chris being the leader in the locker room," Triano told a Toronto radio station, "I think it's the one thing that he wasn't for us.
"He did a great job of getting 24 points and 10, 11 rebounds on a regular basis, but Chris did not really take the leadership role into the locker room. He's not a vocal person; he's not a guy who really did that."
As Winderman points out, that is all pretty much moot in Miami. Dwyane Wade is a leader. LeBron James is a leader. There are veterans like Mike Miller, Eddie House and Juwan Howard on that roster. There will be voices to speak up.
If Bosh just wants to be a celebrity, go out and score and not have to lead in the locker room, he is in the right place to do it.

Who Planted the Moscow Bomb?
There was something odd about watching a TV news clip last night about a bomb explosion in the Tverskaya Street underpass in Moscow. Not only was it the same underpass through which I walked almost exactly one week ago, Tverskaya Street is also about as stunningly central as you can get. The equivalent site in Manhattan would be, say, Fifth Avenue across from the Plaza. In order to kill eight people there and injure 90 others, whoever planted it must have been a true professional.
There was something odder, however, about the way this particular CNN broadcast (click here for a transcript) just like most other broadcasts and most other news reports, immediately jumped to conclusions about who might be responsible. While noting President Putin's peculiarly fair-minded statement on the matter ("[I]t would be wrong to scapegoat an entire nationality"), CNN went on to speculate about Chechen involvement, to interview Russians about how much they hate the Chechens, to note that one of two arrested suspects was a Chechen, etc.
For the record, the Chechen leadership has denied responsibility for this bomb, and expressed condolences for the families of those killed. I quote from their press service: "[A]ny acts of retribution by the Chechens will be directed exclusively against military installations and directly against those taking part in the military operation in Chechnya."
Also for the record, the Moscow rumor mill has already churned out a list of other people who might have an interest in setting off a bomb in Moscow, as well as the necessary expertise to place one beneath Tverskaya Street. Here, for the exclusive benefit of Slate readers, is a list of them. I offer this list without comment: You decide whether it is too paranoid, or too weird, or too insane.
1. President Putin: After all, who benefited most from the (still unexplained) bombs that went off in Russia last fall? Those "terrorist acts" provided the excuse for the invasion of Chechnya; the success, and popularity, of the invasion of Chechnya propelled Putin to power. Now the war is faltering, maybe he needs an excuse to keep it going, maybe he needs to keep up popular support.
2. An anti-Putin faction in the security services: Perhaps somebody, somewhere, wants to show that the president is not as much in control as he likes to pretend. If this were the case, it would also explain why Putin, who has never hesitated to blame the Chechens, as a nationality, for all kinds of dastardly deeds in the past, suddenly sounds so circumspect: Maybe he has a pretty good idea about who else might have been responsible.
3. The mayor of Moscow: As one of the big losers in Putin's rise to power—his political party was eviscerated by Putin's political party (see my previous article this week)—he may well want to show he can get things done faster than the president. If suspects are too quickly caught, arrested, and successfully tried, this option will win favor.
4. The army: The war in Chechnya isn't going well. Putin has made noises about wanting to negotiate an end to it. If anyone in the army wants to prevent this from happening, this would be the way to do it.
Beyond that, speculation can only get wilder. Disgruntled Tatars? Angry Kazakhs? The Taliban? Any possibility sounds as wild as the next. And I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about any of them, either.

U.N. climate chief welcomes Obama plan, wants U.S. energy czar
* Obama detailed climate change agenda on Tuesday
* Pledged new rules to cut power plant emissions
* U.N.'s Figueres says effect of reforms must be measured
* Says countries on track for 2015 climate deal
By Daren Butler
ISTANBUL, June 27 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's new pledges on curbing carbon emissions drew a cautious welcome from the U.N. climate change chief on Thursday, but she said no country was doing enough and proposed the White House appoint an energy czar to coordinate reforms.
Obama revived his stalled climate change agenda on Tuesday, promising new rules to cut carbon emissions from U.S. power plants and moves to support renewable energy.
Christiana Figueres, head of the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat, said countries were on track to agree in 2015 a policy framework to curb greenhouse gas emissions and better enable the poorest nations to adapt to climate change.
She said Obama's announcement was "very welcome" but that countries needed to do more on the issue of climate change.
"Finally the United States is putting out a menu of very concrete measures," she told Reuters at a meeting of climate change activists in Istanbul.
"But I think the fact remains that compared to what the science demands ... no country is doing enough," she said.
Obama has directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to craft new emissions rules for thousands of power plants, the bulk of which burn coal and which account for roughly a third of the country's greenhouse gas emissions.
The plan was criticised by the coal industry, which would be hit hard by carbon limits, and Republicans who accused the president of advancing policies that harm the economy.
Environmentalists largely cheered the proposals and Figueres recommended the appointment of an official to oversee the changes in the United States, recently overtaken by China as the world's biggest carbon polluter.
"I do think that an energy czar in the White House would be extraordinarily helpful," she said. "There has to be someone at a high level in the White House that can actually coordinate all of this and ensure that it gets done."
It was also very important for the White House to develop the capacity to measure the effects of the reforms, she said.
"There has to be one central place where this is going to be quantified in order for the United States and the world to know what effort the United States is putting in," she added.
The United Nations is attempting to resolve disputes between rich and poor countries on sharing out the burden of curbing greenhouse gas emissions as part of a new U.N. deal, a successor to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
It hopes an agreement will be signed in 2015 and come into force five years later.
"That is why it is very important over the next 18 months that there is enough political space opened in every country so that federal governments can actually take the decisions that they need to take," Figueres said. (Writing by Daren Butler; Editing by Pravin Char)

[Model Jim Phillips / Photos by Robin May]
Sharpen up your dapper dad this month.
Jim Phillips dresses just fine. He's like most of the men we know. He knows what works for him, and he sticks with it. But, it's Father's Day and it's time to get our beloved fellows to shake it up. So we headed to Maven Menswear to see just what we could find that would fit the bill for this busy thespian in the way of something different.
Narrow minded
First rule of dressing well is proportions. We know you men love those roomy jeans and slacks. Don't worry, we're not trying to get you all into skinny jeans (even we don't really want to wear them, truth be told). But, you can all do with a bit of trimming in the width.
Pants — A slimmer leg elongates and trims while remaining roomy and comfy enough to let you take it easy.
Shirt — A trim fit whittles the middle when done right. A cut that's closer instantly gives a more put-together vibe.
The fabric of our lives
One of the easiest updates for the fellas is a new fabrication. While it may be hard to break into a new style, a change in the materials of your clothes can open a new world (and you'll be pleasantly surprised to find it's usually a more comfy one, too).
Pants — These canvas blend pants are still a neutral but much cooler than the average jean or khaki pant. And most important, the fabric is super soft and stretches in every direction.
Shirt — A plaid done modern is fresh but masculine and a fabric that's lighter weight than the average button down is perfect for looking dapper and keeping cool in South Louisiana.
Feet first
One of the oft overlooked details is the most important. The shoes. They give it all away. A brand new look isn't complete without a new take on the casual shoe. These canvas chocolate Zuriick shoes are the right blend of everyday and date night. Comfy as a tennis shoe, but cool enough for dinner with your gal.
Get the message
In lieu of a brief case or backpack consider a messenger bag. (We just refuse to call it a man purse.) It's a much younger (and more stylish) take on the something to carry all your important somethings.
OCT 24 You gotta love it when they start eating their young, right? In this post in Politico, BP mouthpiece Geoff Morrell denies that his company's oil spill "ruined the Gulf." Instead, he says, it was Bobby Jindal's decision to divert fresh water into the salt water environment that caused massive losses to shrimp and oyster industries. The evidence doesn't back up any claims that the spill caused that harm, he says. Nothing to see here, move along.
OCT 24 The former mayor of Sorrento was arrested on dozens of child pornography charges, a post on The Creole reports here. Wilson Longanecker Jr. was arrested in his Ascension Parish mansion, the blog reports.
OCT 24 As Bobby Jindal's tenure as governor winds down, blogger Tom Aswell tells us to expect to see more and more of his appointees jumping ship. Some might get shown the door (or the federal indictment, as the case may be) and others are just going to want to avoid standing in "the inevitable unemployment line," he says.
OCT 24 Jim Brown is blogging about elections in this post. There's no one more recognizable when it comes to elections than he is, and yet he still had to show his ID, you know. He gives some easy-to-remember advice on the Amendments: vote against them all. This stuff needs to be handled by legislators, not added to the Constitution, he says.
OCT 24 Bobby Jindal's recent "magical" budget touch - you know, the one that turned a $140 million deficit into a $170 million surplus - is just imaginary, columnist James Gill tells us in this post. It's about as real as that story he tells about the "gold standard" of ethics, Gill says.
OCT 24 George Carter III, a teenage member of the group Kids Rethink New Orleans Schools, died this week, the Picayune reports here. Educators who knew him called him a "visionary." He certainly had some highly-developed ideas for his age, but despite his ability to provide positive ideas for helping kids in the city, in the end he wasn't able to escape NOLA's problems, either.
OCT 24 John Dickerson posts this slice-of-campaign-life look at Mary Landrieu on the trail in Louisiana. Republicans are playing to a runoff, he opines, meaning our state will become "a zoo" if it turns out this race will decide control of the Senate.
OCT 24 Bike lanes have been quite the topic of convo over in NOLA recently, what with streetspace, already at a premium downtown, being sacrified for them. In this post on the Uptown Messenger blog, Owen Courreges opines that the lanes are not really being constructed for people who ride bikes, but instead because developers seeking to make money downtown feel they are needed. He's also predicting that they will increase already nightmarish levels of traffic to new heights. Nah -- that couldn't happen!
OCT 23 Blogger Tom Aswell posts the photo that started making the rounds of the Facebook this week; it shows our governor and his lovely bride, all bright and smiley and holding big guns. The Jindals look a little posed, down to their carefully and properly placed index fingers. They're both grinning wide, displaying how comfortable they are with weaponry. Whee!
OCT 23 This fascinating post on The Lens opens the discussion of New Orleans as subject. C. W. Cannon talks about the concept of dual consciousness and how New Orleanians, especially, have experienced this condition post-Katrina. Cannon attended a recent conference about the issue at Tulane, where the discussion focused on how the romanticization of the city by outsiders masks real social problems.
OCT 23 Bayou Buzz is taking Gov. Bobby Jindal and the GOP to task here for the Ebola shrieking. The so-called "travel ban" makes no sense, and these politicians should have done their homework before coming up with this stunt, Stephen Sabludowsky writes.

The theater, which was built as a first-run cinema in the early 1930s at 81-05 Lefferts Blvd., offers a small-town moviegoing experience in the nation's largest city, boasting ticket prices between $6.50 and $9.50, a concession stand filled with homemade goodies and a staff that knows many of its patrons by name."I think people like that this is a warm environment to go to the movies and not the cold feeling you often get when you go to a multiplex," said theater owner Harvey Elgarth. "We operate as an old-fashioned neighborhood theater where people often get to know the staff."The theater's offerings have undergone several changes during its 75 years in Kew Gardens, starting as a mainstream movie house known as the Austin in 1933, switching to a foreign and art film theater in the Rugoff Theatres chain from the 1950s through the 1970s, becoming an adult movie theater in the 1980s, closing during the following decade and reopening in 2000 as an indie cinema.Elgarth, who also owns the Cobble Hill Cinemas in Brooklyn, said the process of attracting moviegoers to the theater following its revival was a challenge."It was a struggle in its first year and a half to get people to know that the theater was here," he said. "It's not in a mainstream visibility area - you'd have to know about it to come to it. But we are basically the only theater in the borough that is playing these types of films. So, now we have a devoted audience that comes once or twice a week once we change films."Carol Gonzalez, who has sold tickets and concessions from the theater since its reopening, said the theater attracts movie lovers of all ages, but that its regulars are mostly the neighborhood's elderly population."Our regulars stand in front of the theater every Friday morning before we open," she said. "If we do not get any new films on Friday, they are very disappointed."The theater's interior captures the essence of a quaint small-town theater, from its posters of classic films such as "The Bridge on the River Kwai" and "The French Connection" and old magazine covers of Photoplay and Motion Picture adorning its walls to music by Frank Sinatra and jazz greats playing softly in the background. Visitors can watch classic films on several televisions in the film's lobby as they wait for their film to start. On a recent day, a handful of afternoon moviegoers sat on sofas in a small waiting room adjoining the lobby and watched "The African Queen."In addition to moviegoing staples such as popcorn and candy, the theater's concession stand features a variety of cookies baked by its employees, including oatmeal raisin and butter cookies with raspberry, as well as ice cream and a variety of coffees and teas. Despite its old-fashioned decor, the theater's lineup often features the best of American independent filmmaking and world cinema. The current slate includes several of last year's most critically acclaimed and award-nominated films, such as "There Will Be Blood," "Juno," "Atonement," "The Kite Runner," "The Savages" and "The Orphanage."In the coming weeks, the theater will screen "Cassandra's Dream," a thriller by Woody Allen that opens Friday; "4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days," the critically lauded Romanian film that took home the Palme d'Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival; and "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day," which stars Frances McDormand.Tickets can be purchased at the theater or at its Web site, www.kewgardenstheatre.com.Kew Gardens Cinemas offers cheaper ticket prices at various times throughout the week. Admission for children and seniors is always $6.50, but that ticket price is also offered to all patrons all day on Tuesday and Thursday, Monday and Friday until 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday until 2 p.m., Elgarth said."If people do not want to spend the full ticket price, they certainly have a lot of leeway time," he said.The theater typically receives its films one or two weeks after they open in Manhattan, he said.All of the theater's movies are shown on 35 mm film but its sound is state-of-the-art Dolby digital. Weekend shows are often sold out, but unlike going to a Manhattan art-house theater, moviegoers are not forced to stand in line for an hour prior to the screening for a good seat. "People say they like to come here rather than travel all the way to Manhattan," Gonzalez said. "We get mobbed on the weekends but it does not feel like you have people breathing down your neck."
