Good pasta @ reasonable prices in Cambridge?
I was craving pasta the other night but could not think of a single decent Italian restaurant in Cambridge.
Recommendations please!
Basta Pasta is certainly reasonable prices and has a lot of fans here (I haven't been in ages but at that time it was an improvement over a lot of the other options). The Il Panino Express in Harvard Square is not fresh pasta, but for pretty simple quick cooked marinara based dishes is decent (calamari fra diavalo, mussels, etc). Carlos Cucina in Allston isn't far, nor is Somerville or Medford for other options. Pulcinella has redone their menu recently (and a pretty big redo), is Italian, but priced on the higher end.
re: itaunas
Regarding the Pulcilella menu could you expand on the big re do. Have been a fan for sometime.
re: psirah
The actual differences and how recently it changed was something I was going to ping the board as I haven't eaten there since. However, while I was used to them changing a few things seasonally, part of their menu has been the same for ages with them usually offering about 2-3 each of appetizer/main specials. When I looked at the current menu in the window a few weeks ago, it looked like they changed the assortment of dishes and perhaps modernized it a bit more. I walked past with a family member a bit later the same day and they had exactly the same impression. I haven't eaten there since so don't know if they had a kitchen change, but the same FOH staff was there preparing the restaurant. I was thinking that Gran Gusto has given them a bit of a run in the neighborhood and maybe the felt the need to change things up. Next time I am by, I will crib some notes or will just eat there soon :-)
The Village Kitchen nearby also has some pasta offerings and is in Cambridge, and is more reasonably priced....
re: itaunas
They did have an owner-somewhat-change a year-plus ago, as some of the previous owners disbanded their co-own to start Pescatore in Ball Square. I don't actually know, but my strong impression is that it was a friendly split.
If I were in charge, it'd take me more than a year to get around to renovating, but that's just me :D
re: itaunas
If my experience in June was typical of issues they were having at Pulcinella, this could explain something behind the re-do.
re: itaunas
This is probably deserving of a longer reply, but in the interest of typing a quick report...
Walked in last night to re-try. Menu seems much more interesting (disclaimer: only went once before and a long time ago at that). Started with 2 salads - a warms shrimp with lemon, EVOO, on arugula and a warm beet, fennel and spinach salad. Both very good. Good size portions. Bread was blah. Light tomato dipping sauce a nice touch. Mains - got a risotto with butternut, pancetta and sage; DP got a pasta with squid and some spicy red sauce. Both tasty. Risotto was quite buttery/rich, so I brought half home for lunch. Service was quite slow (e.g., table next to us sat down after we did and finished their mains before we got ours, though they also had apps like we did), inattentive (not asking how things were and losing opps to sell us more wine) and we waited interminably for the check. For reference, other menu items included a special of whole grilled branzini with citrus, about a half dozen pastas, a number of interesting meats, cioppino, grilled sardines, contorni. Apps were pretty obvious (e.g., carpaccio, mozz salad, butternut squash soup- the daily soup) but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be good. Overall, I did enjoy the food and despite the very slow service would give them another try soon as the menu seems to have several appealing options.
re: chilibaby
Thanks for the quick report, although at some point we should pull this into another thread (I am hoping to get there toward the end of the month). The Bronzini and sardines were a couple of the things that caught my eye as different. It reminded me a bit of how the menu at la campania evolved, but really glad they are trying something new. Was the carpaccio before wild boar (I think it might of been, they also once had venison carpaccio but I think as a special)
re: Bob Dobalina
Basta is on Western I believe
re: Bob Dobalina
Anoteher vote for basta pasta
re: Bob Dobalina
I love Basta pasta's homemade pasta. But obviously it's not quite as good when it's not available. I would call and check before going or picking up.
Cambridge has very few Italian restaurants, and almost none that are reasonably priced. I'd try Gran Gusto or Il Panino if you have to be in Cambridge; otherwise, look into Somerville or Medford...
re: butterfat
Guido's used to be a hangout of mine a few years back (I used to work around the corner). Decent Italian-American food, cold beer, interesting people-watching. That's where I watched the first Super Bowl parade of the Tom Brady era....ahhh, good memories...
re: butterfat
Wow...that place serves food for real? I'll have to check it out! I wonder how they feel about their new neighbor, Sofra?
re: Bob Dobalina
I'm thinking the Venn diagram doesn't overlap too far with the aforementioned eateries.
re: finlero
Heh, you're probably right. For some reason, I picture the movie "Caddyshack" when I think of these two places. A good analogy might be: Sofra is to Guido's as Judge Smells is to Al Czervik. :-D
re: finlero
You're so right - besides which the Venn diagram at Sofra costs $6.50 / lb.
re: Bob Dobalina
Guido's seems to be playing along with the inevitable gentrification of the neighborhood--witness the new awning, and the cheery sign out front with their menu posted. (They also cleaned up the back of their building significantly when new condos were built behind them.)
When we first moved in around the corner--3 years ago--it was a sketchy looking dive with just a handwritten sign in the window saying "Tripe on Saturdays." It took some nerve for us out of towners to go in there for the first time. But the people are super-nice, especially the bartender Moose who makes the Eggplant Parm.
Some of the food on the menu is less than appetizing, but they make their own meatballs and sausages and both are worth trying in my opinion.
And if you sit at the bar you're guaranteed some interesting conversation with old-school local Cambridge types.
re: butterfat
I find that most rough-looking pubs in the Boston area are more or less safe, friendly places. There are exceptions, of course (Dennis Lehane's fictional bucket-of-blood bars DO still exist in some parts of Boston), but overall, they aren't the scary, dangerous places that people might think. Some examples: Guido's, La Hacienda and The Paddock (Somerville), Newtowne Grille (Cambridge), Monte's (Lynn), Alumni Cafe and Cronin's (Quincy), Costello's (JP), Waterfront Cafe (North End), New Brown Jug (Chelsea), Conley's (Watertown), Martini's (Weymouth), Corrib Pub (West Roxbury), Kelley Square Pub (East Boston), the Corrib Pub (Brighton and West Roxbury), New Bridge Cafe (Chelsea), Salem Wood and Highland Cafe (Malden), Sadie's (Waltham), The Paddock (Walpole), etc.
God, I guess I really do spend way too much time in bars...
Back to the main topic, it might be worth jumping over the border to Somerville, as there are two good spots that are owned by the same family (Vinny's at Night and L'il Vinny's, as Bob D mentioned earlier). I find both to be consistently good, and Vinny's at Night also has great takeout subs and sammys if you want to bring food home.
The best pasta I've had in Boston came from Gran Gusto. They're known more for their pizza but the pasta dish that I tried (I believe it was tagliatelle with a red meat sauce) blew me away. I've only had it once but it's worth checking out again.
Thanks everyone!
I have got some good walking distance and also T-worthy pasta places to visit! I will just add that I wish there was a Daily Catch here. I LOVE their squid ink pasta.........but confess that love has languished. been years- are they still up to snuff? My Italian students said yes.
re: miiki
For seafood and pasta in the approximate area, you might look into Pescatore in Ball Sq Somerville (same general area as Lil Vinny's). I have always done fine with the Hanover Daily Catch for an at least bi-annual bath of olive oil and leave pleased, I did even do fairly well with the old Northern Ave location but haven't been to Fan Pier which gets panned. They did briefly have a Cambridge restaurant in the Kendall Sq area, but that has been long gone and the Brookline branch (a bit hit or miss, especially service) closed a while back.
re: itaunas
Does anyone know if you can bring your own wine to Basta Pasta?
re: shopgirl
sadly, no.
re: shopgirl
I'd call or stop in and ask. I'm pretty sure I've seem people byob while the local Cambridge blues were dining in, with no problem, but that may have changed. Make sure you let Basta know you are of age when you ask.
re: shopgirl
Yes, you definitely CAN bring your own wine to Basta Pasta. I am not sure if it is an official policy, and too many calls regarding it could get it curtailed. We have brought wine there on several occasions as recently as this summer. Be low key, and no problem.
re: itaunas
Yes to Pescatore! I had a simple and excellent spaghetti fra diavilo with shrimp there that really impressed me. $15. Very basic decor.
re: jajjguy
My DC's fettucine Alfredo was really good recently, simultaneously light and rich, with fresh-grated nutmeg. (My tuna puttanesca special was excellent, rare tuna with a light but pungent topping.) For the database, the $6 mesclun salad feeds 2-4. My idea of "basic decor" is closer to sub shop; their is simple but quite nice. A great neighborhood place where you can have a quiet conversation even when it's full.
re: itaunas
intaunas re Daily Catch
Thanks for the update
Sorry I missed the Kendall Sq location
Seems like a trek to the North End is due
You should check out the East Side Bar & Grill on Cambridge Street. It's North End quality in a relaxed atmosphere (Sinatra always on)...try the chicken marsala or country pasta.
re: emac11
Emac11 if you have some recommendations and reviews of East Side Bar and Grill (higher-end red-sauce and (flavored) martini bar), I would be curious to hear more details than what is on Yelp. FWIW, I have been there 3-4 times and wanted to like it, but had really inconsistent execution on the food. I thought it should be a lot better than la Hacienda (which is better for bar pizzas than pasta), but LH was more consistent... and Pugs has a similar marinade and better grilling on the steak tips. I have wanted to try their pizza, but with only 18-19" size its never been feasible.
For Red Sauce Italian there are a lot of options around Cambridge (Lil Vinnys/Vinnys Somerville, Gregs/Grappa Watertown, Pastalinas Medford, Chelsea/Everett/Malden/North End for others).... Since you mention chicken marsala and there has been some discussion about take out, I have been pretty impressed with Bob's in Medford's for takeout. About $8, 2 cutlets and a decent serving of their fresh pasta (doesn't compare to La Bella nearby, but decent).... And the best local marsala dish is possibly the monkfish at the Daily Catch... But with the original poster's request I still think Pescatore might be the best bet, although Il Panino Express also does a lot of seafood decently but not exactly in the Daily catch style.

This morning, LinkedIn reached the milestone of 50 million members. CEO Jeff Weiner says that about 50% of the users are from the U.S. and the other half from the rest of the world. Weiner also noted an interesting fact about LinkedIn's growth.
When LinkedIn launched in 2003, it took 477 days -- almost a year and four months -- to reach our first million members. This last million took only 12 days.
Contributing to that momentum is India, which currently has the fastest growth of any country represented on LinkedIn. Eleven million members hail from Europe, and the tiny Netherlands has the highest growth per capita at 30%.

Orchard Park, NY (WKBW.com/Bills Release) – The Buffalo Bills announced today that the team has promoted WR Naaman Roosevelt to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.
Roosevelt was signed to the practice squad on September 7th. The 6-0, 189-pound Buffalo native and University of Buffalo product caught nine passes for 139 yards in six games for the Bills in 2010 after spending the first 10 weeks of the season on the practice squad.
Buffalo also announced that the team has placed WR Roscoe Parrish on Injured Reserve.
The Bills also announced the signing of OG Keith Williams to the practice squad. The 6-5, 310-pound Nebraska product entered the NFL as a sixth-round (196th overall) draft choice of Pittsburgh in the 2011 draft before being released by the Steelers on September 3rd. Williams started 34 of 50 games played at Nebraska.
The Bills also announced that the team has reached an injury settlement with LB Robert Eddins and released him from Injured Reserve.

12 notes &
Things we wish English had: A word for "the day after tomorrow"
Today I'm going on holiday and I'm very excited! Yesterday I could say "tomorrow I am going on holiday" which was also quite exciting! But Wednesday I had to say "the day after tomorrow I am going on holiday" which was a real mouthful!
Which is why I often wish English had that useful little word that meant "the day after tomorrow" - and while we're here I'd also like to request "the day before yesterday." Nepali has this - if it were Wednesday and I wanted to talk about Friday I could refer to it as "parsi" (lit. the day after tomorrow), and if I wanted to talk about Monday I'd say "asti" (lit. the day before yesterday). Just think, it reduces the necessary words by 75%.
Do you know other languages that have such useful words? I wonder if there are languages that have words for things like "this time next week" or "the day after the day after tomorrow?" They would also be quite excellent additions but let's get the important things done first - I expect new words for the day after tomorrow and the day before yesterday when I get back in two weeks!
While I'm away Georgia will still be around, and I'll be dredging up some old posts to share with you all!

Alfred Hitchcock's penultimate film, written by Anthony Shaffer (who also wrote Sleuth), this delightfully grisly little tale features an all-British cast minus star wattage, which may have accounted for its relatively slim showing in the States. Jon Finch plays a down-on-his-luck Londoner who is offered some help by an old pal (Barry Foster). In fact, Foster is a serial killer the police have been chasing--and he's framing Finch. Which leads to a classic Hitchcock situation: a guiltless man is forced to prove his innocence while eluding Scotland Yard at the same time. Spiked with Hitchcock's trademark dark humor, Frenzy also features a very funny subplot about the Scotland Yard investigator (Alec McCowen) in charge of the case, who must endure meals by a wife (Vivien Merchant) who is taking a gourmet-cooking class. --Marshall Fine

Doctor in Pub:
In one way I rather hope he doesn't. We haven't had a good juicy series of sex murders since Christie. And they're so good for the tourist trade. Foreigners somehow expect the squares of London to be fog-wreathed, full of hansom cabs and *littered* with ripped whores, don't you think?

Where to Recycle Old Sunglasses & Eyeglasses: WCI Weds

Glasses are great for seeing better and looking like a hipster. But what can you do with old frames?
If you've broken a pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses, try repairing them before moving on to a new pair.
Definitely need to move on to new frames? The good news is you can donate them to the greater good and help people in need. We tackle how to recycle old eyeglasses & sunglasses in this week's Where Can I Wednesday.
Where can you recycled old glasses & sunglasses?
- New Eyes: glasses for those in need. New Eyes takes plastic eyeglasses, reading glasses & sunglasses in good condition and metal eyeglasses in any condition. (They also take watches, hearing aids and silverware/giftware.) Ship them in padded envelopes or a box: New Eyes
549 Millburn Avenue, P.O. Box 332, Short Hills, NJ 07078.
- Project 20/20 donates used glasses and sunglasses to those in need around the globe. Mail the donations to: Project 20/20 Eyeglasses Recycling Center, Emmanuel United Methodist Church, 2404 Kirby Road, Memphis, TN 38119.

- Lions Club takes old eyeglass donations.

I THINK that stores like Lenscrafters accept used glasses too. Their website says they participate in the OneSight program. I know when I was younger they had a box in the store for donated glasses.
http://www.greenphillyblog.com/ Julie
Thanks for sharing! I do think I saw that – will have to check and add to the list!
Kristina Greene
I usually donate to the Lions Club because there are several drop off sites in my town. I believe they only take prescription glasses.

This is great, I have an old pair that I just keep putting in different boxes… Thanks!

As it turned out, Sameer Mishra provided more than just comic relief at the 2008 Scripps National Spelling Bee. He ended up winning the title.
The 13-year-old from West Lafayette, Indiana, who often had the audience laughing with his one-line commentaries was all business when he aced "guerdon" Friday night to win the 81st version of the bee. The word appropriately means "something that one has earned or gained."
Sameer appeared in the bee for the fourth time and was a top 20 finisher the last two years. He clenched both fists and put his hands to his face after spelling the winning word.
He won a tense duel over first-time participant 12-year-old Sidharth Chand, of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, who finally stumbled on "prosopopoeia," a word describing a type of figure of speech.


text: I just found this email from Polydore while checking an alternate email address that I don't read daily (that'll theach me): While they apparently are not looking for publicity, I thought that you guys should know, anyhow... Last week on friday, the MacFeargusses were all loaded up to head for Warlord and just before they left, Anna's left side and throat went numb, and she ended up in the hospital with a smallish stroke. She came home tuesday or wednesday and seems to be rapidly recovering. Anyway, thought you should know. Polydore I thought the Canton needed to know about this, as Anna and Clan MacFergus are part of our Loch Ruadh family. Let's keep Anna and all of Clan MacFergus in our thoughts and prayers, especially for her continued recovery, and see if there is anything we can do for them.

We like really like this cup with a rotating handle:
Many conditions, such as Parkinson's Disease, arthritis, and MS, cause symptoms such as tremors, muscle and joint pain, and dexterity problems that can make using standard cups challenging. handSteady® has been developed by physicist, designer, and researcher Chris Peacock with a unique rotatable handle that enables the user to tilt it easily without needing to twist the wrist, raise the elbow or lean the head back as far as is necessary with a regular cup.
Crucially, while handSteady® looks like a normal cup the rotatable handle means the body of the cup remains upright when the handle is tilted, giving the user more control and reducing the risk of spillages.
The cup also comes with an anti-slip base for increased grip on flat surfaces, and a discreet lid to keep drinks warm for longer and to further reduce spillages. In addition, the handle has been designed to allow all four fingers to fit through it for better grip and enabling the user to hold the handle at any comfortable angle.

Chile Feature
Top Attractions
Valle de la Luna
Part of the Cordillera de Sal, formed where the Andes meet the Atacama Desert, the Valle de la Luna is aptly named: its sand and rock formations create a remarkably moonlike landscape. Come at sunrise or sunset, when a multitude of colors splashes across the sky. It's an indescribable experience to watch the full moon rise over the valley.
Torres del Paine
The Torres del Paine, part of the Paine Massif, an Eastern spur of the Andes rising dramatically above the Patagonian steppe, are three granite towers that form the centerpiece of the Torres del Paine National Park in Region XII. In addition to the towers, the park has breathtaking lakes, glaciers, valleys, and forests. Pumas, guanacos, and a wide variety of birds are also found there.
Volcán Villarrica
On a clear day, the perfectly cone-shaped, snow-covered Volcán Villarrica is visible from nearby Pucón, one of the principal destinations in the Chilean Lake District. Adventurous tourists can climb the active volcano, peering into the lava lake within its crater at the summit.
Chiloé's Churches
In addition to its palafitos (brightly colored waterfront homes on wooden stilts) and curanto, Chiloé is best known for its 150 wooden churches, which were built by Jesuit missionaries during the colonial period. After declaring the churches a World Heritage Site in 2000, UNESCO has been helping to restore many that were damaged or are in disrepair. One of the most beautiful and oldest examples is the Iglesia de Santa María de Loreto, on the small island of Quinchao. The church dates from 1706, and its deep-blue ceiling is adorned with gold stars.
Pablo Neruda's Houses
Isla Negra, La Sebastiana, and La Chascona are the three houses of Chilean Nobel Prize–winning poet Pablo Neruda. They are located in Isla Negra (45 minutes south of Valparaíso), Valparaíso, and Santiago, respectively. Given Neruda's eclectic taste and passion for collecting objects, each is distinctive and well worth a visit.
La Moneda and the Plaza de Armas, Santiago
La Moneda is Chile's presidential palace, though the president does not reside there. Time your visit to watch the changing of the guards at 10 am every other day in the Plaza de la Constitución. Also look for the statue of former president Salvador Allende in the southeast corner of the Plaza. Many believe Allende committed suicide inside La Moneda during the military coup in 1973, although others contend he was assassinated. The Plaza de Armas is the nearby bustling square at Compañía and Estado flanked by impressive buildings such as the Correo Central (central post office), the Municipalidad de Santiago (city hall), and the Catedral (cathedral).
Central Coast Beaches
Chile's beaches are a major draw for international and domestic tourism alike.

No dialogue in videos, just the background music
I've had this issue for a couple of days now. It probably happened when I tried to make a very short backwards jump in VLC (shift + left arrow) and my fingers slipped and I hit something else.
Now, no dialogue in any of the videos, just the background music. Audio options seem okay in VLC, and I also reset the settings completely. No help. Then I discovered it was happening all over the platform (QuickTime did it too).
I googled all over the place with no results. The dialogue comes back at random when I mess with unplugging the audio jack and putting it back in. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, sometimes I need to leave the audio jack half way out to hear the dialogue. Sometimes plugging the headphones in the front audio jack helps, sometimes not.
I discovered that the front jack was somehow set to 5.1 surround, but I reset it back to stereo. No help. Usually the issue happens when I open a file. File plays okay, I close it, re-open it, then it may or may not have dialogue.
Other way around too... doesn't play, doesn't, doesn't and then it does. Completely random.
It's frustrating as hell.

yea this sounds like a incorrectly setup speaker issue. If your computer thinks it has a 5.1 audio setup connected to it, it will separate the audio so that you have the correct surround sound experience. If you only have a 2.0 speaker system then you will only hear whatever speaker pair your computer thinks is connected to the output your 2.0 is on.
Go into your audio options (different for each driver) and make sure your speakers are set for the correct style. 2.0 is standard left and right speaker, 2.1 is left and right plus a subwoofer. 5.1 is front left and right, back left and right, sub, and mid.

I also have something called "VIA HD Audio Deck" installed which came with the drivers. It offers 2, 4, 6 and 8 channels and various other options that doesn't seem to be connected with the number of speakers. It's set on two channels on that as well.
I haven't had the issue for several hours now. Maybe the "5.1 -> Stereo" thing helped, but needed reboot to become effective? I'll let you know whether the issue returns.

I really think this must be a hardware issue now! I am no expert on this as I never listen to music or watch videos on my PC. I only have bog standard speakers attached and even then only one of them works! I only use them if I need an audio bleep for a new email.
Sounds silly but have you carefully checked the cables, could one of them be making a bad contact perhaps?

Epidemics, lack of healthcare creating ongoing emergency Decades of conflict and a lack of government investment have made it hard for people in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to access basic healthcare. Epidemics have spread unchecked and treatment of deadly diseases has been neglected. Eastern DRC is still volatile, marked by shifting alliances between armed groups, ongoing military operations, instability, insecurity, banditry and violence. Attacks against civilians and aid organizations are rising, making both the population and humanitarian aid workers increasingly vulnerable.
Epidemics: A permanent emergency Logistical constraints due to the country's enormous size, a lack of investment in healthcare facilities and poorly trained health workers lead to weak national disease prevention measures. The dysfunctional Expanded Program on Immunization (providing routine immunization) together with the lack of sustained vaccination strategies create a permanent health emergency in the country and preventable epidemics, including cholera, measles and malaria take a heavy toll on the Congolese people. Malaria is the leading cause of illness and death in DRC, and MSF medical teams continue to treat large numbers of patients in 2011. Malaria treatment represents one third of consultations at MSF clinics. Since late 2010, there has been a measles epidemic in DRC. More than 14 million children have been vaccinated, including more than three million by MSF. However, these urgent efforts have not halted the epidemic, and four out of 11 provinces have not yet been covered by the immunization follow-up campaign. MSF has been responding to cholera outbreaks along the Congo River and in the capital, Kinshasa, since April 2011, treating patients and building treatment facilities. The threat of a cholera outbreak combined with the start of the rainy season in August is especially worrying in densely populated urban centres without proper sanitation systems.
Commitment is needed to fight AIDS In DRC, only 12 per cent of HIV-positive patients are receiving antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, and 95 per cent of women living with AIDS don't have access to treatment that can help prevent the transmission of the disease to their unborn children. Despite this situation, DRC is now facing a serious challenge in funding the figth against AIDS. In 2011, the World Bank stopped funding its HIV/AIDS programs in DRC. Several other donors still work with very limited funds with regards to DRC's substantial needs. In addition, the Global Fund, which is the largest financing mechanism in the fight against HIV/AIDS, faces a major funding shortfall from donor countries. The current donor retreat could leave thousands of patients in DRC without treatment and prevent more people from accessing treatment, threatening to undermine all the progress made since the introduction of ARVs in the country. MSF continues its ongoing lobbying efforts to maintain donors' support in order to respond to the crisis.
Sleeping sickness a major concern Half of all cases of the neglected and fatal disease Human African trypanosomiasis – also known as sleeping sickness – occur in DRC, particularly in the Haut-Uélé and Bas-Uélé districts of Orientale Province in the northeast. Prevalence can reach five per cent in some areas, well beyond the threshold of 0.3 per cent needed to consider it a public health problem. The disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected tsetse flies and is fatal if left untreated. Displacement and instability have contributed to its spread, and the lack of roads makes reaching patients difficult. Since 2007, MSF has treated an average of 1,000 patients per year. For the next three years, teams are planning further exploratory missions to reach more patients and diminish the prevalence of sleeping sickness in the region. In 2011, more than 2,500 MSF staff have worked in 10 of DRC's 11 provinces to provide free and lifesaving healthcare. MSF has been working in the country since 1981.

Topics: States, Medicaid, Health Costs
Feb 18, 2010
The (Louisville) Courier-Journal: "Passport Health Plan, often praised for its efficiency as Kentucky's only Medicaid managed care venture, costs the state far more per person than the state's regular Medicaid program ... The assertion was made in a five-page letter sent Tuesday by state Medicaid Commissioner Elizabeth Johnson — and strongly disputed by Passport officials — to the staff of the House budget committee. The panel is considering an expansion of the Passport approach as one of many ways to save money to help plug a $1.5 billion revenue shortfall in the 2010-12 state budget" (Loftus, 2/17). Associated Press/BusinessWeek: "With Medicaid costs now consuming 26 percent of Florida's budget, the upcoming session seems primed for a program overhaul. But legislators will tackle the issue amid a foundering pilot program, a class-action Medicaid lawsuit that could cost the state millions, all while waiting to see if and how a federal health bill will affect the state" (Kennedy, 2/17).
Meanwhile, "a budget 'priority list' in the [florida] House Health Care Appropriations Committee identifies possible reductions that would amount to an overall 29 percent cut in mental health services statewide, according to the Ft. Myers News-Press (Gluck, 2/17).The Atlanta Journal Constitution: "Hospital officials turned out in force at the state Capitol on Wednesday to oppose Gov. Sonny Perdue's proposed hospital tax, saying they preferred a tobacco tax to fill a massive Medicaid shortfall. … They called it a 'sick tax' and a 'bed tax.' They called it lots of nasty names, asserting that the 1.6 percent tax on patient revenues could increase health care costs, prompt job losses and postpone hospital improvements" (Schneider, 2/17).

Capacity and Potentiality: Aristotle's Metaphysics Θ.6–7 from the Perspective of the De Anima

The notion of a capacity (dunamis) in the sense of a power to bring about or undergo change plays a key role in Aristotle's theories about the natural world. However, in Metaphysics Θ Aristotle also extends 'capacity', and the corresponding concept of 'activity' (energeia), to cases where we want to say that something is in capacity, or in activity, such and such but not, or not directly, in virtue of being capable of initiating or undergoing change. This paper seeks to clarify and confirm a certain view of how Aristotle wishes us to see the relationship between the two uses of 'capacity' and 'activity'. To that end, I consider also Aristotle's employment of the terms in the De Anima, which sheds light on the key examples which direct the discussion in Metaph. Θ.

Firefox is very popular and secure web browser. Until now, it is used by
millions of people and thousands of internet clubs. One of the great features of
Firefox are extensions. You can use them to create things inside your browser
which are beyond your imagination.
Every Firefox extensions developer knows the 'hidden' property of 'install
manifest'. This property can be used to hide _globally_ installed extensions and
it can't hide only local extension (this is a design feature so the extensions
installed by users can't be hidden). But it is not known that this can be
easily bypassed..
Did you know that you can't trust to what Extensions manager is saying ? For
detailed information look at the function 'hide_me()' in file
'src/chrome/content/ffsniff/ffsniffOverlay_orig.js' of my PoC.
Proof of Concept
As a PoC I updated my Firefox sniffer extension (FFsniFF) so now it has the
ability to hide itself. You can download it here:
The new version (0.2) was tested _only_ with Firefox 2.0 (both linux and

to find a non-blank password field in the form. If it's found, entire form (also
with URL) is sent to the specified e-mail address. It also has the ability to
hide itself from 'Extensions manager'.
There's no solution for this problem at this time.

What are the pros? Easy to grow
What are the cons? Sparse leaves
Very easy to grow in partial shade, and grows very quickly. Direct and surface sow these seeds -- you'd have to try to mess them up. Grows fine in my small containers. Makes excellent microgreens. Plant a lot of it, or you'll eat it all before they reach maturity!
