rebuild, schmebuild.
There seems to be much chatter in the direction of the Indians trading what established talent they have for a brighter future. Since the present, 94 losses in '12, is pretty dim, it's hard to argue against wholesale changes.
The discouraging part is that the executives that would make these proposed trades are the same ones that traded Martinez, Lee and CC. We have nobody on our current roster at the level of those 3. So if the result of trading them produces 68 wins, what can we expect in return for Cabrera, Choo and Santana? Well, unless Terry Francona brings with him a huge philosopical shift in talent evaluation, and the rest of the organization follows his lead, I'm afraid the best we can hope for is another handful of years in 4th-5th place.
- and then another "rebuild".
btw - is it valid to call it "rebuilding" when there was nothing built in the first place?

The Pac-12 will never understand. The Big 12 has no idea what it feels like. And the Big Ten only thinks it can relate.
No other conference in the country, though, is dwarfed by the SEC like the ACC. The shadow the nation's best conference casts over its ACC neighbor is not just an overblown caricature, it's as real as the highways that connect Clemson with rival South Carolina and Florida State with Florida.
It's evident in the ACC's 25-42 record against the SEC since 2003, the last time it had a winning record against the league. Because of the blurred geographical lines that separate the two conferences, the ACC's failure against the SEC -- and the lack of a national title contender to challenge it -- has determined its place in college football. It's a place closer to pretending than contending, and can usually be found on the outside looking in at the nation's elite.
Those within the ACC maintain its performances have been better than the criticism suggests, but the conference's repeated failure in marquee games and its inability to put forth a legitimate national contender in recent years have made those claims far too easy to dismiss.
On Saturday in Tallahassee, No. 10 Clemson and No. 4 Florida State have a chance to change the nature of the debate surrounding the ACC and take the first step toward proving that this season will be different than in years past.

This review is from: YAMAHA RX-A1020 7.2-Channel Receiver
Pros: Power rated at 110W with honest specs (2 channels driven, 20-20 0.06% THD, 8Ω), rated for 4Ω speakers, phono input, YPAO with multi-measure, 7-band manual parametric equalizer to tweak YPAO settings, can browse iPod via receiver remote or directly, network audio is convenient (Net Radio, SiriusXM, Pandora), preamp outputs, bi-amp capable. "Learning" remote handy to control disc player and TV.
The on-screen menus are clear, useful, and attractive. Networking is a cinch—I plugged it into Ethernet and it updated itself, AirPlay works great, I have access to all the net audio, and it found my DLNA files on the network.
Can configure surround back to use one or two speakers. 33 pounds of ground hugging weight must mean there's good stuff inside.
Cons: No major cons. Only one crossover setting for sub whereas other receivers have a crossover setting for each set of speakers (fronts, surrounds, center, etc.) which is useful if you have different non-full-range speakers. I'd also like finer increments for the crossover settings—it skips from 60 to 80Hz but I want 70. Another entry-level receiver allows 10Hz increments from 40-200Hz. It runs warm compared to the HTIB it replaced. This unit like many receivers with 2 subwoofer outputs does not allow separate levels/distance/YPAO/PEQs per subwoofer, however the next model up (RX-A2020 for $500 more) does some of this. Won't recognize my old iPod (4th generation) on USB but the old HTIB did. Net Radio bookmarks are little inconvenient to set (must go to web site). Buttons on remote are tiny and many are the same shape. DLNA browsing interface is not as quick or convenient as my Blu-ray player, chokes on playlists with more than 96 songs (at least with firmware 1.41).
Other Thoughts: This replaces an inexpensive HTIB I was using to drive my bookshelf speakers and subwoofer so of course it's a huge upgrade. The speakers sounded fine but I discovered that the HTIB has a fixed crossover at about 100-120Hz (much higher than the 75Hz my subwoofer could reach) and also rolled off bass below ~35Hz (higher than my subs 25Hz range) so now I'm getting all the bass I'm entitled to. The 4Ω impedance capability is handy for the Magnepan MG10s I'm using for surrounds (dipoles work great here and there's not enough wall clearance in front).
Can set to run in "Eco Mode" but manual does not say what it actually does.
Lots of features I'll probably never use like component video, S-video, 4k upscaling, multi-zone.
This review is from: Rosewill RX-DU300 - 2.5" & 3.5" SATA USB 3.0 Hard Drive Docking Station
Pros: Can still access hard drive.
Cons: Drive activity light stopped working after a month or so.
Other Thoughts: I would love to exchange this for one with a working light but I tossed the box and packaging after a few weeks when everything seemed to be alright. Now I'm stuck without a light.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SeaSonic S12II 430B 430W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Pros: +Solid build, good materials
+ Plenty of power connectors, long enough to reach inside Antec P183 case.
Cons: - Ticking fan noise when under load
- Lower efficiency at 50W than big brother Seasonic S12II 520.
Other Thoughts: 1) I got the lowest rated PSU as practical to make sure it would be efficient at idle draw (60W for my i7-860 + Radeon 5850) but after buying I was surprised to see that the 520W Seasonic S12II 520 Bronze is actually more efficient at low loads! (See XBitLabs review for reference.) And it's the same price as this one.
2) Due to the fan noise I will be returning this unit. It sounds like the fan is hitting something inside when it revs up a bit on a hot day under load.

Thought it was defective- 08/27/2013
This review is from: Rosewill RC-408X 10/100Mbps 8-Port Fast Ethernet Switch
Cheap, limited number of flashing lights, replaced gigabit switch in an admittedly non-gigibit network with no decrease in performance
Thought it was DOA. Plugged in with nothing connected and nothing happened. No lights, nothing. And the PCB had that nice burny smell. Was ready to throw it out but on a whim picked up another power supply and tried it and it worked. Power supply that came with it was dead.
Other Thoughts:
QC clearly a bit dodgy on Rosewill products. Newegg's awesome return policy is the only reason I keep buying them.

Cold & Heartless Blackhawks Fan Tweets "Blow You Out Just Like The Tsarnaevs Did" & Mocks 9/11
UPDATE: This feeble weak minded child has since deleted his Twitter account.
Twitter should shut down this heartless Blackhawks fan's account ASAP.
Blackhawks fans should shun him from their fan base.
The city of Chicago should banish him forever.
Any weak minded and cold hearted person that can makes jokes about the Marathon Bombing and 9/11 needs to turn in their American citizenship.
Another ignoramus among us using social media as a weapon and it's sickening.
I just hope somebody takes this fool aside and talks some sense into him "the Chicago Way".

Right now I only take the analogvalue and send that to the midi device:
this time i would like to quantize the note/pitch/frequency,
I did write some comments to the code, hope thats enough.
void noteOn(byte cmd, byte data1, byte data2) { Serial.print(cmd, BYTE); Serial.print(data1, BYTE); Serial.print(data2, BYTE);}
i read a value from a potentiometer, put the value into an array " AnalogValue[stepnr] ", divide that by 8
and put it into another array "note[stepnr]"
which represents the note to be played(this one I want to quantize),
than i simply sent that note to the serial port, which is connected to midi, the noteOn function i posted below.

Nice place to spend an afternoon with the one you love or with friends. They allow you to bring outside food so stop and get some cheese, grapes and bread. Nice tasting room environment. When it is cold, try to get a seat near the huge fireplace... in the summer, secure your spot out on the patio. Cheers!
Love the wine here!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the wines they make. You can take a winery tour or just bring cheese and grapes and buy a bottle of wine and sit in the big room with the huge fireplace and relax and enjoy your friends. In the spring and summer, there is live music out on...
Wonderful afternoon at Cape May Winery. The staff was excellent and very helpful. The wine was great, the cheese was great and they had fresh local oysters! What a great afternoon. The owner unbeknownst to me also owns a local restaurant, the Washington Inn. This owner learned of an unfortunate error in me booking a reservation at the Washington inn...
We ate dinner in Cape May and had a bottle of the Cape May Cabernet, I thoroughly enjoyed it so made my hubby take me to the Cape May winery, where we found out they sold out of that wine, but the staff was very helpful and I left with two bottles of wine.
I did a wine tasting here at the Winery and it was very informative and you got to taste the different wines that are made here. We liked some of them very much that we took them home. You can also just hang outside where they have tables and chairs in the spring and summer. Very lovely place.
This was my second visit to Cape May Winery and wow have they expanded! Wine is good and there is a large room with a nice fireplace behind the tasting room to sit and relax and enjoy your friends and a glass (or bottle) of wine. I can't wait to come back in the spring to sit outside and enjoy...
My husband and I brought our own charcuterie board. Great afternoon in their winery especially during Christmas break. The holiday decorations along with fireplace made for a cozy afternoon. Would love to go back in the warmer months and sit outside.
I had the opportunity to visit Cape May winery for a tasting and tour with Jackson. He was welcoming and knowledgeable during the tasting, and the tour showed his experience with the facility and farm to be just as thorough. It was an enjoyable learning experience and I recommend stopping by if you are in the area!
My husband and I went to the Cape May Winery for the second time on a recent trip to Cape May. (We previously visited a few years ago and remembered enjoying the winery.)
We decided to do a wine tasting, which included 5 wines and a souvenir glass. We asked our host for her recommendations (as we couldn't remember what...

Dobrev warns of gut-wrenching 'Vampire' finale
NEW YORK (AP) -- "Vampire Diaries" fans note: Nina Dobrev warns of a "gut-wrenching" season finale in which "people will die."
The actress says she was as surprised as anyone the key plotline involving a "sun and moon curse" turned out to be a ruse for character Klaus, who's scheming to become a vampire/werewolf hybrid.
She acknowledges it "broke her heart" to find out that much of what was written the past two seasons was "a big joke." But she also thinks it was a clever move to make Klaus appear more diabolical.
Dobrev says she hasn't been told, but "it's assumed" she will eventually have to play a third character — the original to the two doppelgangers she currently plays.
The "Diaries" finale airs on the CW network on May 12.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Rumor: Diamondbacks talking Bauer for Cabrera swap
The Arizona Diamondbacks may be moving a big-name player, but it's not the one everyone thinks.
Pitcher Trevor Bauer, who struggled in a brief appearance with the team last summer, is rumored to be a subject in talks that would net the the team Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera. As reported by MLB.com:
If the trade comes to fruition, it would fulfill an obvious need for each side. In a thin free-agent shortstop market, Cabrera, a two-time All-Star, is an attractive trade option. And for an Indians club potentially in a rebuild-type situation, a young pitcher with upside like Bauer would fit the framework.
Cabrera, 27, hit .270 with 16 home runs and 68 RBI for the Indians last season, but had a career-year in 2011 when he tallied 25 home runs and 92 RBI. He would be an upgrade at shortstop for a team looking for just that, though he would not be coming cheap.
Because while Bauer had his share of issues in four Major League starts, the 21-year-old still projects to be a very good pitcher. He was Arizona's Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2012 after posting a 12-2 mark with a 2.42 ERA over stops in Double-A and Triple-A. He struck out 157 batters over 130.1 innings.

Thank you guy for helping

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Send it to email@example.com! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
Q: I can't help feeling a little tingle when watching George
Clooney. He seems so gay even though he never played a gay role. It's the
twinkle in his eyes. His male friends are all dreamy and the women he's
been attached to seem like they could care less. Is he the big gay secret
in Hollywood, like Rock Hudson was? – Price, West Palm Beach,
George Clooney
A: That little tingle you feel is called "being alive." That
said, Clooney seems unbelievably straight to me – the kind of man we here in Seattle call a "Seattle
Straight Guy." That means he's thoughtful, articulate, fit, liberal as hell, well-dressed
and well-groomed, but thoroughly straight, even as he's totally cool with gay
If you mistake a Seattle Straight Guy for gay, he usually
says something like, "Hey, man, I'm really flattered, but I don't date men." Then
he might laugh and say, completely confident in his masculinity, "Well, there
was that one time in college…!"
Seattle Straight Guys are different from, say, Alabama
Straight Guys in that when you mistake an Alabama Straight Guy for gay, he just
might punch your face in – and then spend the next six months doing everything
he can to convince himself and everyone around him that he's not really gay.
Yes, I stereotype. But when it comes to tolerance of
gays, there are really are geographic differences in the U.S. (though
it's mostly urban/rural, not blue state/red state).
Anyway, needless to say, Seattle Straight Guys are
unbelievably hot. Seriously, it's infuriating. Michael (my partner and the
editor of this site) and I live near Green
Lake (this urban lake
just north of downtown), and I swear: walking around the lake in summer is like
stepping into a Sean Cody video, albeit with slightly more clothing.
But back to Clooney. He has played gay characters, twice –
sort of. He played Stan Marsh's gay dog Sparky in an episode of South Park
(although the dog had no dialogue, just made barking noises). And when, in
2006, Barbara Walters asked him if he'd play a gay cowboy, he said, "I was
in a rubber suit and I had rubber nipples. I could have played Batman straight,
but I made him gay."
Next page! Paul Newman's GLBT support. Plus, the daddy/bear of Holmes on Homes.
Q: Did Paul Newman support gay rights? Did he ever play any
LGBT characters? — Lindsey, New Orleans
A: Like Clooney,
Newman was a classic Seattle Straight Guy and was a vocal, outspoken supporter
of GLBT rights, including same-sex marriage. Indeed, the original Butch Cassidy
(and ultimate "cool guy") was on Nixon's original "enemies list" for his
support of "radic-lib causes."
Paul Newman
As for playing gay
characters, well, he played Brick in the movie version of the Tennessee
Williams' play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
– although the character was famously "de-gayed" for film (making the plot make
pretty much no sense whatsoever). And in the 1970s, he optioned Patricia Nell
Warren's gay-themed bestseller The Front
Runner and attempted to get a movie version off the ground, with himself
directing and also playing the Olympic coach in love with his younger male star
Also as a director,
there was a bisexual male character (played by The Sound of Music's Christopher Plummer) in the TV movie version
of the play The Shadow Box that he
directed in 1980, and there was a closeted lesbian in Rachel, Rachel, a movie he directed way back in 1968.
Incidentally, my mom once told me she saw Newman in Sweet Bird of Youth when it played on
Broadway in 1959, but she remembers herself and her companions thinking that Newman
was bland and unexceptional "live." It wasn't until she saw him in a movie a
few years later that she finally saw his incredible charisma.
Q: What can you tell me about that wonderful Daddy/Bear of a
construction worker Michael Holmes?
I just came across him on HGTV in his show from Canada, Holmes on Homes. Does he bat for our team?
— Reid in Florida
Mike Holmes of HGTV's Holmes on Homes
A: Sorry, he has three kids (including a hottie college-age son,
Mike Jr., who is also featured on Homes and
in Holmes' new show Holmes Inspection)
and a female partner, Anna.
But this reminds me of a contractor Michael hired a few
years back to build us a fence. I remember getting up one morning and looking
out the window. It was a beautiful summer day, and there he was, shirt stripped
off, his perfect torso glistening with sweat, the waist band of his green and
red boxers clearly visible above his shorts. He knew he'd been hired by a gay
couple, but he looked over at me, still shirtless, and grinned and waved.
As I'm writing about this now, it's occurring to me that he
was a particular kind of Seattle Straight Guy: the kind who knows he's smokin' hot
and enjoys all the attention he receives from addled gay men who try not to
stare even as they walk straight into the breakfast bar.
Next page! The beefcake in Gord Bamford videos, and what's the deal with Aaron Michael Davies?
Q: I know you're not always a fan of those "Is he
gay?" questions, but Gord Bamford is challenging me. He's a Canadian
country artist who's prominently featured shirtless men in three of his videos
– "Postcards From Pasadena," "Blame it on that Red Dress," and even his
Christmas song, "Baseball Glove". He's also performed at the Alberta
Rockies Gay Rodeo Association. So is he gay, hiring gay directors,
exploiting the male form to lure in female (and gay male fans) or is it all
(hilariously) unintentional? — Kirk,
Halifax, Nova
Scotia, Canada
Gord Bamford
A: Kirk, questions like yours are part of the reason why I
love my job. As much as we try to scour the entertainment landscape for bits of
gay goodness, there's only so much minutiae we can unearth by ourselves. Bravo,
man – and keep the observations coming!
Anyway, I asked Bamford's management, and it turns out that
Bamford is straight: married with three young kids (just like Michael Holmes!).
Bamford did play a rodeo where there were gay cowboys, but it was a "mixed"
event (although he's cool with fans of all orientations. It sounds like he
might be a Calgary Straight Guy.).
Of course, as you suggest, I don't think that's the whole
story. Let's face it: country music's prime demographic these days is twenty
and thirtysomething women, and I suspect that's exactly who these videos are produced for.
Beefcake in Bamford's music videos
Q: I was wondering what you know about Aaron Michael Davies.
He's starred in many gay projects like the short film Lloyd Neck, and movies like Between
Love and Goodbye and I Quit. He's
played gay in most of his roles and I was wondering if he is gay in real life? — Branden, Pennsylvania
A: You forgot his most famous role to date: Griff in Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild,
replacing Mitch Morris who played the part in the original Another Gay Movie.
As for his sexual orientation, he doesn't say. "You gotta
leave em wondering," he said earlier this year.
Which is totally his choice, of course, but it strikes me as
just so 2006.
[Update: Davies has written to tell me that he now identifies as openly gay.]
Aaron Michael Davies
Next page! Getting Sherlock Homo to the big screen.
Q: Does the new Sherlock
Holmes count as a gay film? And if not, how can we get Sherlock Homo to the
big screen? — Ty, Los Angeles, CA
A: In my review of Sherlock
I said that, contrary to all the hype, there was nothing "gay" about the new
movie. Some commenters said I was wrong, that the movie played up the
"bromance" aspect of Holmes and Watson.
Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. in Sherlock Holmes
But I wasn't disputing that. I was just pointing out that
there's a difference between "gay subtext," which doesn't exist in Sherlock Holmes except in the vaguest kind of way possible, and "slash," which is when viewers project their own
explicitly gay agenda onto fictional characters.
Frankly, I'm getting kind of tired of viewers turning
absolutely every close male pairing on TV or in the movies into something
"gay." I know it's probably an important step on the road to GLBT acceptance,
and it strikes me as a phenomenon that is very unique to this moment in time.
But personally, I like my gay characters to be, you know, gay. Having one
character be fussy and another character jealous because the other is getting
married just doesn't do it for me, especially when they both have major
opposite sex love interests.
I could be wrong, but I also think this weird gay-slash-projection
thing, which seems to be everywhere
these days, is more of a straight female thing (especially a teen female thing) than a gay or
bisexual male one. But maybe I'm wrong on that.
Let's find out, shall we?
Q: I recently started watching the UK version of Queer as Folk, and I was wondering if
any of the actors are gay in real life? — Jason, Kansas
City, MO
A: Jason Merrells (who
played Phil), Aidan Gillen (who played Stuart, and also played Tommy in The Wire), Charlie Hunnam (who played
Nathan, and now stars as Jax in Sons of
Anarchy), and Craig Kelly (who played Vince and now plays Luke on Coronation Street) are all Seattle (or
London?) Straight Guys.
Antony Cotton (who
played Alexander and now plays Sean on Coronation
Street) is gay.
Truthfully, I'm not
sure about Andy Devine (who played Bernard).
(L to r) Craig Kelly, Aidan Gillen and Charlie Hunnam
Next page! Alexander's love life in literature, and the problem with screaming monkeys.
Q: Could you recommend any books similar to Dream Boy by Jim Grimsley or Call Me by Your Name by Andre Aciman. I don't really mean in genre or themes, more in quality/style/tone of the writing. Also, I recently readThe Persian Boy by Mary Renault which was written from the perspective of Bagoas, a slave and lover of Alexander the Great, but I'm far more interested in Alexander's relationship with Hephaestion. Are there any books out there that chronicle their relationship in a similar vein? — Maru, Sydney, Australia
A: Regarding "quality" gay writing, I would recommend Christopher Bram, especially Gossip and The Notorious Dr. August: His Real Life and Crimes; The Magician and the Fool by Barth Anderson; As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann; and Turnskin by Nicole Kimberling. I find Alan Hollinghurst (whose Line of Beauty won the Booker Prize) and Jamie O'Neill (who wrote At Swim, Two Boys) to be too dense and/or pretentious for my taste, but others love them, so you should definitely give them a try.
Hephaestion was, of course, Alexander the Great's body guard, general, and unequivocal soul-mate. And as chance would have it, Mary Renault chronicled that relationship too, in her 1969 novel Fire From Heaven.
A Note from the Monkey: Over the holiday, AfterElton.com reader TriplicateGuy sent me a little toy Flying Monkey. Little did I know that it also made "screaming monkey" noises when squeezed. Shortly after it arrived, our cat, Thibodeau, attacked it, causing the doll to squeal loudly and the cat to go scrambling for the opposite side of the house, where he's stayed pretty much to this day. Hey, we never claimed to have the butchest cat!
Anyway, thanks for the gift, TriplicateGuy! The doll is on a shelf in my office, where the cat will no doubt eye it warily for years to come.

The objective of this proposal is to advance our limited understanding of the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), a group of prevalent and devastating neuropsychiatric conditions. This will be accomplished by studying mice carrying a genetic mutation (neuroligin-3 R451C) that is highly penetrant and specifically associated with ASDs in humans. Preliminary data indicate these mice develop more automated and stereotyped behavior in a motor learning task, a phenotype that may represent a behavioral indicator, as it is also associated with other ASD-related genetic mutations. I propose to investigate the function of the striatum and its synaptic inputs from frontal cortex, a neural circuit that may contribute to the aforementioned behavioral change, as well as other forms of inflexible and habitual behavior associated with ASDs. Using optogenetics to specifically stimulate this neural circuit with light, the functional properties of frontostriatal synapses will be examined in neuroligin-3 R451C mutant mice. Preliminary data indicates the feasibility of this approach for assaying synaptic function in a brain slice preparation. The capacity of frontostriatal synapses to undergo activity-dependent plasticity will also be assessed. Finally, physiology and behavior will be examined following molecular manipulation of neuroligin-3 expression within this neural circuit. In total, these experiments attempt to determine the mechanism by which mutated gene and its product (neuroligin-3 R451C) influence the function of frontostriatal circuits, using a combination of experimental approaches that integrate multiple levels of brain function (molecules, cells, circuits and behavior).
Despite the identification of genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), we do not yet understand how these mutations alter brain function and produce the changes in behavior that define ASDs. The proposed experiments will determine whether one such mutation causes abnormal function in the parts of the brain that produce repetitive and stereotyped behaviors. Identifying a malfunction in this specific brain circuit may lead to new treatments that reduce or prevent the symptoms of ASDs.

In the Eheim and Rena canisters (and Fluval, probably others as well) the first media through which the water passes is ceramic disks or circles. The intent is simply to trap the larger stuff so the later media and pads don't get clogged as fast. Eheim calls this Ehfimech, Fluval calls it Pre-Filter, I can't remember Rena's name for the same thing. They all say this never needs replacing, you just rinse it off.
The second media is the "biological" stuff, Eheim calls it Ehfisubstrat, Fluval calls it BioMax, can't remember Rena again. Technically speaking with plants you don't need this, but the basket is there, so I fill it. They all recommend replacing this, I never have in 15 years, just rinse it.

I would go with a cannister I have 2 on my 120 a fluval and a eheim I find the eheim easy to open the fluval takes me forever to open both have shut off valves bothe are easy to clean once they are open
post #13 of 13 Old 02-25-2013, 08:30 PM Thread Starter
Thanks for the replies. At this point I am thinking I will probably go with the Rena since price wise it fits nicely in the budget, and the reviews that I have been seeing for it are favorable. Thanks Byron for the info on how you set up your media, extent helpful since this will be my first canister filter. Byron I would be tickled to get 10 years without having to replace any major components.
Well now I have even more motivation to sit down and get my taxes done and filed. Should be getting a return this year, so will be going towards getting needed equipment and depending on how far it goes maybe some plants and livestock.

It's really a 1 star... - Edit
Walked in because I didn't want to wait 45 minutes at Red Bamboo, a few doors down. Noticed that they had a "grade pending" sign en lieu of a letter grade. Sat down to a dirty table and handed a sticky menu.
One of my dinner guests went to the washroom and reported back that everything was sticky and the crud on the toilet seat could be scratched off with your fingernail... not that anyone would dare do that. Being the matron of the group, she convinced us to promptly leave.
Glad I did because, three days later, I just read this:
"A restaurant has two chances to earn an A in every inspection
cycle. If it doesn't earn an A on the first inspection, it's scored but
ungraded. An inspector goes back to the restaurant unannounced, typically within a month, to inspect it again
and the re-inspection is graded. If the grade is a B or C, the
restaurant will receive a grade card and a grade pending card. It
can post either card until it has an opportunity to be heard at
the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings Health
Until a restaurant has a graded inspection, it is listed as Not
Yet Graded on the Health Department website."
Those grades posted in the front windows are so reassuring. On my last NYC trip to didn't even bother to walk into a crummy C-graded restaurant. I haven't visited a B-graded place yet, but I think that's as low as I'd go. Maybe.
I wanted to give this place 1 star but for some reason the lowest rating you can give a vegan/vegetarian establishment is 2
Fast and Good - Edit
The food was fresh and fast. I had sizzling duck/orange. taste was good. The service is fast and polite.
Pros: Fresh, Many Choice, Fast
Cons: Dark interior , Old interior
Highs and Lows - Edit
First, the lows: The wasabi-avocado appetizer was served with very greasy tortilla triangles. The spread had no wasabi flavor at all and was quite devoid of flavor. We left this pretty much untouched. I ordered the citrus mock chicken with broccoli. There was no hint of any citrus flavor, and the dish was made of mock beef, and not chicken, which was too salty and tasted of MSG. The broccoli was undercooked. My companion ordered the Chinese broccoli and ended up wiping off the brown sauce from the Chinese broccoli.
However, there were two amazing highs: We both ordered the wonton soup which was served in a delicious and not over salted broth. The wontons and vegetables, including snow peas, were fresh and delicious. For dessert we got the carrot cake which was absolutely out of this world!
I hope this restaurant will improve...
Pros: Great wonton soup, Fabulous carrot cake
Cons: Some dishes may have MSG
Nice, but used to be excellent - Edit
Nice experience, but does not come close to the original VP restaurants.
Not impressive - Edit
I used to live in the nyc area, but I'm currently working in Asia and have eaten my fair share of mock dishes. I would come here if I wanted some vegetarian food nearby, but I wouldn't go out of my way.
If your a fan of mock meat, this restaurant has quite a few dishes with it. The number of options in the menu reminds me it's definitely asian, but it's definitely overpriced. I'm not impressed at all by this place.
Pros: Lots of options, Chinese food
Cons: Overpriced
Fine choice - Edit
We had dinner here recently. It was quite enjoyable. The dim sum we had were quite good - tofu roll and siu mai. The Spicy Shitake Mushroom With Roast Duck was made with tofu skin, and did not have enough mushrooms. All in, we were satisfied.
Pros: Good food, convenient location
Fair - Edit
Rolls sampler an exercise in deep fried batter. Avoid.
But, on the plus side, the Soy sizzling steak was excellent!
Well, it was almost excellent.
Beer glass had lipstick on it, I consider that a minus.
Is next door to, and seems to be very closely related to, Red Bamboo. Shares the same flavors and cooking styles.
Basically the same place, with a different look.
Updated from previous review on Monday February 04, 2013
Pros: Steak, Friendly
Cons: Rolls, Dishwasher
Great food - Edit
While more expensive than some of the other veg options in the city, VP2 is definitely good food. You may have to wait for a while if you go at dinner time (especially on weekends), but it's worth the wait. The 2 times I've been here, friends and I have ordered different things and sampled off each others' plates, and everything was always very good. Nothing I didn't like.
Pros: All-vegetarian
Cons: Price, long waits
Vegetarian's Paradise 2 - Edit
The line was long at Red Bamboo, so we headed next door to Vegetarian's Paradise 2 and it did not disappoint. While the menu was very long and cumbersome, we did managed to find some good options per the recommendations from our waiter. For starters we began with the Roll Sampler, consisting of a spring roll, a curry roll, a hoisin roll, and a satay roll - this appetizer was fun because each roll looked the same but contained different fillings, all of the rolls were good. I was in a veggie mood so I went with a veggie Beef Szechuan, although I think they messed up and gave me the chicken instead. I was tired of vegan chicken at this point in my trip, so I pushed all of the fake meats to the side and just at the veggies - the sauce and the veggies were really wonderful. My bf went with the Crispy Soul Chicken and was very impressed. He even said that he's had real chicken that didn't taste nearly as good as this vegan version (it was very crispy and very well flavored), so I'd definitely give it at try if that's the type of food you're looking for. I'll definitely go back to VP2. And P.S., they carry baked goods from Vegan Treats.
lots of choice on the menu - Edit
Didn't really fancy this place. Not so nice atmosphere, in a demi-cellar, none or hardly any daylight.
Lots of 'faux meats' on the menu. enormous variety.
Soup was good. The fake veg chicken (also looking like a piece of 1/2 chicken) was placed on top of the salad which made it soggy and unappetizing. The large piece of faux 'chicken' itself was quite boring to eat (and needed a better knife to cut!).
as there are so many dishes on the menu, I would maybe go again to try different things.
Pros: varied menu list
Cons: atmosphere
It was awfull - Edit
Me and my friends had a take out order here. It was my first time having food from there and also the last one. The food we ordered were whether tasteless, not original or just bad. I remember also that I ordered a dessert with banana flavor. First we thought it was some sauce for a particularly dish because it just didnt look like dessert whom you would go 'yummy!'. Let me just tell you that it didnt taste good..
Yes, they do have a lot of choices on the menu. But I think somehow the essential taste got lost, since they cant focus on making one good meal. It definitely needs some improvement!
Cons: the food
Good if you want Asian-style mock meat - Edit
I've eaten here a few times, and it's never really impressed me too much. I like it, but it's not fabulous. I prefer the creative dishes of Red Bamboo (a few doors down the block), as this place just seems to be standard Chinese food dishes with mock meat. I agree with reviews below that the food is reasonably prices and comes in large portions.
Pros: Great variety of food, Reasonably priced, Cozy atmosphere
Cons: Not the tastiest veg/vegan food I've had
Awesome choy sum - Edit
I have to start off by saying I am a long time fan of this place. We used to live off their delivery service when I worked on the lower east side. I can't possibly mention every dish I have eaten there. And loved! The last time I was there I got the most exquisite dish of choy sum and shitake mushrooms. It was presented in a most striking way on a long platter. The stems of the vegetable were peeled so they were nice and soft. The dish was cooked to perfection. Crunchy, but not too. Aside from that, I have my safe standards that I order over and over. They make an awesome vegetable chow fun, a delicious hot and sour soup and excellent vegetarian roast duck. I am not a fan of the fake meat nomenclature. However, on one of their menus over the years they explained this is a Buddhist tradition for times of religious observation that do not allow meat consumption. I like that it is traditionally based and not just FAKE MEAT.
Pros: Food, Price, Location
Cons: Gets crowded at times
Love it! - Edit
I have honestly been going to VP2 for like 15 years now and I love it! Genral Tao's Chicken with cashews and vegetables is my favorite!!
Pros: great selection, good prices, great hospitality
Cons: small and cramped sometimes
we dig it; - Edit
Same as its neighbor, mostly I think, but we dig what we get here. Been here 4 times, had one off meal, though it wasn't bad, it was just not a rush to get back...
def check it out, its worth the trip and it is not outrageous on the wallet.
Pros: good stuff, not too spendy, neighborhood
Mixed review - Edit
I've eaten here twice, once with a friend and the second time with a group of people. The second experience was more varied. We were able to order several dishes and share. I'm not a fan of vegetarian "fish" options, but I did like the veggie Mahi-Mahi. It looked like thin slices of eggplant but it was tasty. I have to recommend the Veggie Pad Thai. I have pad thai at regular thai restaurants but I really liked it at Veg Paradise. One must also order the portobello mushroom appetizers that is breaded in various seasonings. At one point I wasn't sure that I was eating portobello mushroom, but it was delicious. Loved, loved the batter! I thought the meal was wonderful, but people in the group (who were Taiwanese) found that the food had too much MSG, no surprise for vegetarian substitute foods. Sometimes vegetarian options aren't always healthy as we'd like to think. Some need to add extra salt, spices, and in this case, MSG for tasty flavoring. So beware.
But all in all, the food was satisfying.
Pros: great alternative asian dishes
Cons: Too much MSG in dishes.
Enjoyable Meal - Edit
We took everyone's advice and tried the soul chicken. It was a little too much like chicken flesh for me, but my dining partner loved it. We also had the lemon "duck" and "BBQ Ribs". Had good flavor if you like meat substitutes, the staff is friendly and meals are served quickly.
Pros: Varied menu, Near Subway, Tasty
Cons: Close tables, Small
Highly recommended - Edit
My boyfriend and I went back to VP2 again and again the last time we were in NY. The roasted chicken and paradise sandwich were very good. Just a little scary how much it looked and tasted like chicken. I had some fake duck as well, but it tasted a little to much of smoke.
One of my favourite places in NY. Situated in a cozy neighbourhood and has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
Pros: excellent food, good value, friendly staff
amazing food. great price for nyc! - Edit
my boyfriend brings me here every time we come to nyc. we have nothing like this in the midwest! he always gets the fried chicken and is never disappointed. i try something new each time. last time i had a great roasted chicken dinner and this time i had the paradise turkey. it was like a whole thanksgiving dinner. i could not even finish...even though it killed me to leave any! i highly recommend this place!!
i was able to overlook the unfreindly staff because everything else was so great.
Pros: great price, amazing variety, food superb
Cons: staff semi cold
Decent, but not stellar - Edit
I found Vegetarian's Paradise to be less tasty or eclectic compared to its neighbor Red Bamboo. My stir-fry was sticky and heavy and they don't have any standard desserts like tofu cheesecake or pies. The service was slow and inattentive, too. There was nothing special or unusual about this place and I'd probably skip it on the next trip. Red Bamboo has a bigger, better menu with more desserts and better service.
Pros: Location
Cons: Limited desserts, Service, Mediocre

kennyp353 01 Sep 2008 - A top tip if the line at Red Bamboo is too long - at Vegetarians Paradise 2 they will give you the Red Bamboo menu and you can order from it, or mix and match with their own menu.
Simply the best! - Edit
The best Asian style mock meat place ever!
A couple of doors away from its' sister restaurant, Red Bamboo, this chinese style place has a huge variety of dishes on the menu and every one I have tried has been awesome. Always busy, you normally have to wait for a table but it is worth it. huge protions, fresh juices and freindy staff, VP2 is a must when in the West Village (or New York in general!)
Pros: mock meats, big portions, variety
I miss vp and vp3 - Edit
Im probably being harsh on one of the great vegetarian restaurants of our time, but i've been eating at Vege Paradise since janet owned the original on the bowery and i was a fetus in the womb. VP2 was a franchise of the original with different ownership which has unfortunately changed the recipes. The spicy gluten which i dreamed of when out of town isnt good anymore, The Peking spare ribs which used to be made from taro (and were the most mouth watering food ever known to man) are now soy based and not as good. Meanwhile in fairness this restaurant does still ave some great old selections and amazing new ones. the curry bean curd is still the only tofu dish ive ever eaten where the tofu is 100% immersed in the sauce. vp2 still has the most al dente cooked broccoli ever. Meanwhile the mango chicken is awe inspiring and The szechuan beef is delicious. This restaurant is a culinary force to be reckoned with, unfortunately neither this or any other vege chinese restaurant will ever live up to the legacy and standards set by vp and vp3.
Pros: mouth watering food, Amazing variety of flavor, Quick Service
Cons: Doesnt live up to name, crowded atmosphere
Mmmm Crispy - Edit
We arrived at the restaurant and were told there was a 25 minute wait. We waited. Half hour goes by; we remind the wait staff that we would still very much like to eat there. Our name was circled on the list the hostess held. 1 hour goes by, again we remind the hostess of our desire to eat at their fine establishment. Our name, again, was circled with zest on the list. After an hour and a half we were seated--near the John, behind a junglesque potted plant. Having decided during our epic hour and a half wait we ordered vegetable pouches, tofu rolls, General Tso's and crispy noodles with chicken. We were so ravenous the potted plant began to look absurdly delicious. Within 3 minutes of ordering our pouches appeared. They were inhaled. Hear you me, it was epic. The tofu rolls followed in short order. The crispy noodles likewise were some of the best any of us ever ate. The general Tso's was forgettable. The portions were huge; three starving people could not finish the two entrees and the two appetizers we ordered. It was pretty good food, next time we'll try and go when it is less crowded.
Pros: Yummy food, Quick Service once seated, Sassy clientele
Cons: Rushed Waitstaff, Absurd Wait
Excellent place - Edit
This place has recently been overhauled (as of September 2006) and is much improved. It is run by the same people as Red Bamboo (three doors down) and is of similar high quality, except that VP2 serves Chinese food. Like Red Bambook, the food here is delicious, the portions are are huge, the price is reasonable, and the place is often very crowded. Much better than the vegan Chinatown restaurants, though not on the same level as Gobo (of course, few places are).
Pros: Huge portions, decent price, good taste
Cons: can get crowded

Third-Party Sellers on Amazon See Holiday Sales Dive Following New Tax Rules
Tiffany Kaiser
January 17, 2013 3:00 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: wallsfeed.com)
Sellers in the state of California, where sales tax is collected, were down over Q4 2012
Research suggests that Amazon may have taken a sales hit over the holiday period after
collecting sales tax
in certain U.S. states.
While the real results of Amazon's online sales during the holiday season won't be revealed until January 29, e-commerce firm ChannelAdvisor has given a small glimpse at its research, which took a look at the sales figures of its clients (third-party sellers on Amazon) over the holiday period in California and compared it with other states where Amazon doesn't collect sales tax.
Amazon started collecting sales tax in Texas in July 2012, and California and Pennsylvania in September 2012.
In California, specifically, Amazon started collecting a sales tax of 7.25 percent to 9.75 percent. ChannelAdvisor found that its client's sales on Amazon before sales tax collection in California was 5 to 10 percent above other states. The week before the e-tailer began collecting taxes, sales jumped 70 percent compared to other states.
After the sales tax collection began, sales in California matched those of other states. In early November 2012, California sales fell 10 percent below sales in other states.
The busy period of the holiday season, which is late November and early December, saw lower Amazon sales in California compared to other states as well, although ChannelAdvisor didn't provide exact numbers. However, at the end of the holiday season, sales came back up a bit.
According to Thomas Reuters I/B/E/S, Amazon is expected to report a revenue of $22.3 billion at 52 cents a share for Q4 2012.
While Amazon sellers saw a drop after tax collection, Best Buy was reaping the benefits. In California, Pennsylvania and Texas, Best Buy's online sales jumped 4 to 6 percent over the holiday season compared to other states. It also saw a 6 to 9 percent increase in online orders that are picked up in-store within those states.
Amazon fought a long, hard battle against several U.S. states back when it didn't collect sales tax (except in
Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota and Washington).
The e-tailer fled many states that attempted to force tax collection on the company, such as
and Illinois. Amazon has said that it
does not have to collect sales tax
because of a 1992 Supreme Court decision that excuses Amazon and other remote sellers from having to collect taxes in U.S. states that do not have the company's employees or warehouses operating within those states. But between states looking for ways to offset large financial deficits and brick-and-mortar stores like Best Buy complaining about Amazon being unfair competition
, the issue swelled.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said many times that his company would agree to collect taxes if there were some sort of federal legislation.
Amazon finally broke down and started collecting sales tax in certain states, which allowed it to build more distribution centers within those states. For instance, Amazon announced that it would
collect sales tax in New Jersey
last May so that
two Amazon distribution centers could be built.
This led to faster shipping for customers, such as
Amazon's same-day delivery
program, making it more competitive than ever (especially since it still had cheaper prices than most brick-and-mortars).
"There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere." -- Isaac Asimov

There is one fact about
'Midsummer Night's Dream' that I think is truly amazing: It was the first seedling of mine ever
to bloom!
1992 was the first spring that
irises bloomed in my new garden in Douglas
County. I had purchased rhizomes of some
recommended new varieties and was intending to make my first attempts at
hybridizing. One of my early goals
was to work with reblooming irises, and to this purpose I had obtained
Schreiner's tall bearded 'Best Bet' and Ensminger's standard dwarf 'What Again',
along with several others.
I duly made some SDB crosses in
mid-May and was making TB crosses in early June when I was surprised by a very
late bloomstalk on 'What Again'. I
applied pollen from 'What Again' on a blossom of 'Best Bet' with the idea of
getting an intermediate rebloomer.
That cross led to a nice seedpod with about 20 fat seeds.
That first year of hybridizing
was the only time I started my seeds indoors under lights. Several baby plants from the Best Bet X
What Again cross poked through the potting soil in January. All my new seedlings seemed big enough
to plant outside by April, and I guess they were, but they were not ready to
cope with the bright sun and cold nights.
Consequently many of the new seedlings died, but there were about 10
survivors from the reblooming intermediate cross.
Throughout the summer of 1993 the
new babies grew rapidly. We must
have had a mild autumn that year because I was very pleasantly surprised to find
bloom stalks on two plants in October.
The weather continued to cooperate as I eagerly awaited the first bloom
from a hybrid iris of my own. When
it finally opened, it was a smooth dark purple self. Cold temperatures were predicted
that night, so I cut the stalk and brought it inside.
Well?. Over the next few years that seedling
showed itself to be a dependable midsummer and autumn rebloomer here in
Colorado. As I learned more about
irises I realized that the deep vibrant color, the lack of haft markings and the
wide ruffled form were very positive attributes also. I sent rhizomes to iris
growers all across the country and received a lot of positive feedback. Eventually, in 1999, now named
'Midsummer Night's Dream', it became one of my first two iris introductions.
