Romper: Britches, $20 // Belt: Thrifted, $9 // Boots: Urban, $25
Monday, July 20, 2009
At Last
I finally found the romper I've been looking for. Soft knit fabric. Ideal for the summer heat, but not too skimpy. Cinches at the natural waist. And, to top it all off, it has an adorable bow detail! I kept this look super simple with an edgy studded belt to tone down the cutesy factor and cuffed suede ankle boots.

Love it with those suede booties...I'm so on the fence about rompers. They look great on almost everyone that I've seen in them, but I worry that I'd feel like I was wearing a halloween costume. Hmmm...

Named for the winner of the Tour de France and an Olympic gold medal prior to his staggering 2012 achievements, this British designed and made (by Carradice of Nelson) rucksack is a bag our Brad could be proud to use.
The Wiggo is conceived to be a versatile, casually styled rucksack - part of Ally Caellino's Bags for Bikes range, made with high quality materials (as you'd hope from the price) and a whole host of cycling friendly features. It's also intended to be a bag you'd be just as happy wandering around town with, no matter how fashionable an individual, and not just a commuter backpack.
Made from super tough oiled canvas, the Wiggo also uses sturdy leather straps and reflective trim, as well as featuring a rugged coated canvas base to protect it and its contents when you set it down.
The adjustable rucksack straps are webbing, with broad oiled canvas pads that slide up and down for extra comfort. There's a zipped pocket inside, as well as a padded laptop sleeve big enough to accommodate a compact 14" laptop (although description claims 13" Macbook), while outside there's another zipped pocket at the front, hidden discreetly by a flap with leather strap fastening and reflective trim. The main body of the bag is a decent size too. There's also a waterproof cover supplied for when conditions get too soggy for the shower resistant canvas and the waterproof nylon lining.
Off the bike, this looks like a laid back, country-comes-to-the-city type of bag, but on the bike it's pretty capable too. Sitting securely and comfortably on the shoulders, it didn't slide about, even when worn over slippery technical fabrics. There isn't a chest or waist strap, but it sat still anyway, although the width of the bag mean it's slightly better suited to male frames than female ones, but only marginally.
A laptop fitted securely in the pocket, with what felt like reassuring levels of padding, and the leather grab handle at the top was useful for, well, grabbing the bag. Capacity was spot on for daytime office requirements and a change of clothes etc. It's not light, but it IS very tough.
At £160 this isn't a cheap bag, but it is an extremely high quality bag, with a British pedigree, that's as useful as a casual rucksack as it is a bike bag. It's the sort of bag you'd be happy to find nestled under the Christmas tree, or splurge on payday for, and it'll last you a very, very long time indeed.
A rugged and good looking rucksack as useful off the bike as on, but genuinely handy for both.

Performance is in line with what you expect from a MacBook Pro. The quad-core Ivy Bridge processor is more than fast enough for the kind of workloads we tend to handle on a daily basis here in the Ars Orbiting HQ, with plenty of power to spare. If you do heavy photo, graphics, or video (or some other comparable compute-intensive work), this is the performance-oriented, over-sized "ultrabook" for you.
At just under 4.5 pounds, the Retina MacBook Pro certainly pushes the definition of ultrabook to its extreme, but so do plenty of other so-called ultrabooks. (Intel currently doesn't have any weight requirement for a machine to be called an "ultrabook.") And the Retina MacBook Pro meets the other requirements; most importantly, its 18mm thickness meets the maximum for ultrabooks with 13" or smaller screens, much less the 21mm requirement for screens 14" and larger. It also wakes from sleep in less than 7 seconds, has over 5 hours of battery life, is "responsive while active," and has USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt ports.
Taking a look at some benchmarks, you can see that the Retina MacBook Pro's 2.3GHz quad-core Ivy Bridge processor easily bests the previous generation MacBook Pro using a 2.2GHz quad-core Sandy Bridge processor. There's a roughly 15 percent overall speed boost when memory bandwidth is factored in. It also trounces both a 2.7GHz dual-core Sandy Bridge processor from a 13" MacBook Pro as well as a maxed-out Ivy Bridge MacBook Air. With nearly twice the computing performance of the best MacBook Air, it's something to keep in mind if you're trying to decide between the Retina Pro and the much lighter Air.
Looking at graphics, too, it's clear that NVIDIA's latest mobile GPU helps the MacBook Pro's performance. We were surprised to find that the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M clocked in slightly slower than the AMD Radeon HD 6750M in the older Pro. We believe that the GT 650M's potential performance advantage is being hidden somewhat by the scaling done by OS X. Unsurprisingly, the performance is far better than on machines which rely on Intel integrated graphics alone.
Apple has also significantly improved the speed of its proprietary SSD modules. According to iFixit, the Toshiba-made modules are using a SandForce-sourced controller with custom firmware, and the extra speed shows. We clocked the drive maxing out at around 470MB/s reading, and 410MB/s writing—that's significantly faster than the older SSD modules, which were limited to 3Gbps speed. The newer ones are clearly taking full advantage of the 6Gbps connection Intel's chipsets offer.
Also note that the Retina MacBook Pro blows away a hard drive-equipped MacBook Pro. Besides raw throughput that is at least four times faster, you can see how the performance profiles are completely different when shuffling around small files, which the OS tends to do quite often during normal operations.
Subjectively, the machine just feels faster at everything: launching apps, saving files, loading webpages, scrolling long documents, running Photoshop filters, rendering 3D scenes. It's subtle and hard to quantify (Photoshop launched 0.3 seconds faster?), but you feel it everywhere. And all those little speedups really add up over the course of a day.
Apple has made a big deal about the new asymmetrical fan design, which is supposed to make the fans output a range of frequencies that sound more like white noise than like one (often annoying) frequency. We barely noticed the fans during our testing, though they did kick in while running some of the more aggressive benchmarks. At first, I thought something had happened to the TV in the next room, as it was displaying static. It turned out to be the Retina MacBook Pro sitting right in front of me.
Once I got used to the sound, I could tell where it was coming from, and it does seem to be slightly less obtrusive that the usual laptop fan sound. It's hard to say whether it will be an improvement for your particular workflow, but in our experience, the processor was barely taxed during our usual workday. We suspect heavy users will welcome any improvement in fan noise, however slight.
Apple has boosted the battery capacity of the Retina MacBook Pro to 95Whr, a 23 percent improvement over the standard 15" MacBook Pro. Despite the pixel-doubled Retina display, Apple still rates the machine at "up to 7 hours of wireless Web use."
For comparison, the Retina iPad has a 70 percent larger battery than its non-Retina predecessor in order to maintain a comparable battery life. Apple makes up some of the difference with low-voltage DDR3L RAM, and relying on SSDs instead of spinning hard drives for extra battery savings. It still can also switch between the Intel integrated graphics and the NVIDIA GT 650M, though in practice it seems the NVIDIA is active more than absolutely necessary.
We believe that the graphics switching is largely responsible for the relatively low battery runtimes we saw during our own "real world" wireless Web testing, which averaged just over 6 hours. Typically we often eke out more than what Apple states, but with the 15" Retina MacBook Pro, we consistently got less than 7 full hours.
Apple's test suite includes loading a series of webpages and typing into a document repeatedly while WiFi is turned on and screen brightness is set to half. Our test involved running the same applications we use on a daily basis, including Safari, Colloquy, iChat, Reeder, Chrome, Twitter, Outlook, Dictionary, and TextEdit, as well as a handful of menulets like Fantastical, Dropbox, and Skitch. Most of these apps use very little CPU while idle, so we don't believe they contributed significantly to battery use.
It seems that the aggressive switching to the NVIDIA GPU can account for the discrepancy. Some relatively low-performance apps like Twitter, among others, use certain graphics features that cause the discrete GPU to be turned on, whether or not it's even necessary to use those features. Cody Kreiger's gfxCardStatus can be used to check the GPU switching status, and can even force OS X to use one or the other. However, it hasn't yet been tested with the latest MacBook Pros.
Apple has previously explained that it prefers that its graphics switching system require no user interaction, but we feel like improvements could be made. The system is currently geared toward better performance in all cases, whereas we think it should optimize for better battery life when not connected to a power adapter. Apple could hide a GPU switch as an advanced user option, perhaps as part of the Energy Saver settings. Or it could offer developers an API to simply inform the OS whether an app prefers "more power" or "better battery life" for its operation. The battery hit isn't huge, but we've heard reports of the Retina MacBook Pro battery lasting as long as 8 hours under light loads. When working remotely, nearly two extra hours can make a huge difference.
At 4.5 pounds, the Retina MacBook Pro should not be mistaken for a 15" MacBook Air. We suspect Apple could build such a machine, perhaps with a non-Retina display and a ULV processor, and boast a 10-hour battery life. It might even sell well.
If you're currently using an 11" MacBook Air, we don't think you'll be comfortable with the jump in size and weight. If you regularly use a 13" MacBook Air, however, the change might not be as drastic.
We know at least two developers who switched from an 11" Air to the Retina MacBook Pro for the screen and performance boost, but keep in mind it will require some adjustment to your handling. Depending on your workflow, the switch may be worth it—one developer told Ars that a large project which took 30.7 seconds to build on his 11" Air took just 8.9 seconds on his Retina MacBook Pro. That's nearly 3.5 times faster to build an app, something developers do quite often when testing and debugging.
If you're currently a 15" MacBook Pro user considering the Retina for your next upgrade, it's easy to recommend. It's just over a pound lighter, it's thinner, and it's every bit as powerful. Plus, the screen is honestly gorgeous. It can also be set at a resolution comparable to the "high-res" option previously available on the 15" MacBook Pro with excellent results.
Pretty much the same can be said for current 17" MacBook Pro users. As we noted previously, one of the scaled settings is equivalent to the screen real estate of the now defunct 17" MacBook Pro, yet still appears slightly sharper due to Apple's scaling methods. You'll get a machine that's smaller, lighter, and every bit as capable, while still being able to preview full 1080p HD content.
13" MacBook Pro users have a slightly tougher choice. You'll get lots more screen real estate and raw performance moving up, for effectively the same weight. It's physically bigger, though, and obviously costs twice as much. You get what you pay for, but like MacBook Air users, it's going to be an adjustment in handling. We recommend trying one out at an Apple Store or Best Buy to see if the feel is right for you, but you won't be disappointed by performance.
Apple is betting on the future needs of professionals with the Retina MacBook Pro. Not everyone is entirely ready for that future right now, though, so Apple is offering Ivy Bridge-bumped versions of the "old" 15" and 13" MacBook Pro for those who aren't ready to make the leap. But it's clear where the proverbial puck is going to be, and the Retina MacBook Pro demonstrates Apple's determination to skate there instead of where the puck is currently.
The Retina MacBook Pro is a solid machine with plenty of pro performance, a pro-level display in nearly every sense of the word, and for most users, plenty of high-performance ports. Your needs may require one or more dongles, but like every other port standard Apple has pushed, it's ready for the future if not exactly covering all the needs of everyone today. (Remember when Apple ditched serial, ADB, and SCSI ports for USB in 1998?)
Extra options can quickly bump the price of a Retina MacBook Pro up beyond $3,000, but its entry-level $2,199 seems quite reasonable compared to other portable Macs. Windows PC users may wince at the price, but which other vendor is offering what is essentially a quad-core 15" ultrabook with comparable resolution? (Hint: none).
There's a rumor that Apple was also planning a retina makeover for the 13" MacBook Pro as well, though display yields are a possible cause for the delay. It makes perfect sense—we highly expect all of Apple's notebooks to have retina displays as soon as is feasible giving manufacturing and cost constraints. If the current 15" Retina model is any indication, the future of notebooks looks quite good.
The Good:
- Retina display really does impress
- Quad-core Ivy Bridge processor and NVIDIA GT 650M GPU are powerful
- Thinner and lighter than old 15" MacBook Pro, same weight as 13" MacBook Pro
- USB 3.0! Two Thunderbolt ports! HDMI!
The Bad:
- FireWire and Ethernet require dongles
- Despite thinness, won't replace an Air for most users considering a switch
- Build-to-order options get expensive fast
The Ugly:
- Soldered RAM and proprietary SSD make later upgrades impossible

TEHRAN, Iran – Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi defied the nation's religious hierarchy, calling for a huge rally Thursday even as the country's most powerful military force clamped down against online media and one prosecutor threatened protesters with execution.
Mousavi, who lost to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a national election he called an "astonishing charade" and a "shameful fraud,"sent a message to his supports to gather on Thursday in peaceful protest of the election results, and the killing of eight protesters. They have gathered in Tehran's Freedom Square for three straight days, even amid a violent crackdown by forces aligned with Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"In the course of the past days and as a consequence of illegal and violent encounters with (people protesting) against the outcome of the presidential election, a number of our countrymen were wounded or martyred," Mousavi said on his website.
"I ask the people to express their solidarity with the families .... by coming together in mosques or taking part in peaceful demonstrations," Mousavi said.
Mousavi's message came in defiance of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which swore to crack down on some websites. Although international media has been barred from covering demonstrations, confined indoors, reports have leaked out via the Internet of sweeping arrests of opposition leaders.
Blogs and sites such as Facebook and Twitter have been vital conduits for Iranians to inform the world about protests over Friday's disputed election. Mousavi and his supporters accuse the government of rigging the election to declare hard-liner Ahmadinejad the winner.
The Revolutionary Guard, an elite military force answering to Khamenei , said through the state news service that Iranian Web sites and bloggers must remove any materials that "create tension" or face legal action.
The Guards are a separate military with enormous domestic influence and control of Iran's most important defense programs. They are one of the key sources of power for a cleric-led establishment that has been pushed by the crisis into an extraordinary public defense of the Islamic ruling system.
But a more dire threat came from Mohammadreza Habibi, prosecutor-general in the province of Isfahan, Iran's third-largest city.
"We warn the few ... controlled by foreigners who try to disrupt domestic security by inciting individuals to destroy and to commit arson that the Islamic penal code for such individuals waging war against God is execution," Habibi said, according to Reuters.
The nation's unelected supreme leader made a highly unusual appeal Tuesday in response to tensions, telling Iranians that all citizens should hold fast to their belief in the system despite disagreements over the election.
President Obama has called the election and subsequent fallout "troubling," but said on Tuesday that the U.S. should not be seen as "meddling" in Iran's domestic affairs. That didn't stop the Iranian government complaining about just such efforts by the U.S. in a meeting with the Swiss ambassador. The U.S. has not mainatined an embassy in Tehran since the 1979 revolution, and the Swiss diplomat represents U.S. interests in Iran.
The Iranian leadership, which rules above the president, has been shaken by a backlash following the election. Demonstrators rallied Wednesday, and appear to be increasingly emboldened. A fight broke out between lawmakers in the Iranian parliament and a growing number of high-ranking clerics have spoken out against the regime. Among them is former president Hashemi Rafsanjani, a fierce critic of Ahmadinejad and a member of a panel that has the theoretical authority to dismiss Khamanei, the successor of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who took power aft the 1979 revolution.
In another high-profile display of apparent opposition support, several Iranian soccer players wore green wrist bands — the color of Mousavi's campaign — during a World Cup qualifying match in South Korea that was televised in Iran.
Mousavi's call for a giannt rally in Tehran's Freedom Square Thursday raised the prospect of further clashes with security forces. The violence has left at least seven people dead, according to Iran's state media.
"If the whole people become aware, avoid violent measures and continue their civil confrontation with that, they will win. No power can stand up to people's will," Mousavi's spokesman Ali Akbar Mohtashamipour said. "I do not think that the Guardian Council will have the courage to stand against people."

RICHMOND, Va. – Just days after notching his 900th career victory, Virginia Commonwealth University tennis coach Paul Kostin was recognized as the 2010 Mid-Atlantic Professional Tennis Association's College Coach of the Year.
It marked the second time in the past three years that Kostin has received the honor.
"All the awards are nice, but it's really a credit to the people that have been around me for all these years," Kostin said. "The only thing I'm really focused on is to continue winning, that's all I want to do."
Now in his 21st season at VCU and 30th as a collegiate coach, Kostin has amassed a record of 900-287 (.758) while serving as both the men's and women's tennis coach for the Rams, as well as nine years at his alma mater, Arkansas-Little Rock.
This past year, Kostin guided both the Black & Gold squads to CAA Championships and trips to the NCAA Tournament.
Since the Rams joined the conference in 1995, VCU has taken home 15 conference titles, 27 NCAA Tournament bids and multiple All-Americans, all under Kostin's guidance.
The native of Sweden has the Rams back and ready to defend their conference titles this year with the two squads combining for a record of 26-4 and two top-55 rankings in the latest ITA polls. The women's squad currently sits 25th in the country.

The Sequel to the award winning X2: The Threat will introduce a new 3D engine as well as a new story, new ships and a new gameplay to greatly increase the variety in the X-universe. The economy of X3: Reunion will be more complex than anything seen in the X-universe before. Factories are being built by NPCs, wars can affect the global economy, NPCs can trade freely and pirates will behave far more realistically.
Extensive development has gone into the X3 engine, making full use of DirectX 9 technology, to create dramatic visual effects and stunningly realistic starships. Coupled with the massively enhanced A.L. (Artificial Life) system, X3: Reunion will present players with an ever changing, evolving universe; where a player's actions really can shape the future of the universe.
Newcomers will enjoy the additions to the already graphically impressive, almost living X3-Universe, while veterans can expect new construction options and an improved physics model.
What happened so far: While the Argon fleet is stretched almost to breaking point by the continuing attacks from Khaak, a new enemy is stalking the X-universe. What links a mysterious ship with the power to disappear, the ruthless Yaki pirates and a machine left by an ancient species? It's time to strap yourself into your cockpit, warm up your laser cannon and get some answers.
* Over 200 newly designed models have been created for X³
* A new graphical user interface prevents less screen obstruction and faster access to all game options.
* Completely redesigned X universe, with new high detailed environments including asteroid fields, dense gaseous nebulae's, star ship graveyards and much more.

Cheese pumpkin hamburger with ghost mashed potato
Had a great Halloween dinner with my bf last weekend!
I moved to SF from LA recently..so now we are doing a long distance thing.
It's much harder than I thought, but he is trying his best to make this work.
So thanks to him, I think we've gotten much close than before:)
Here is a dinner idea for happy Halloween!
To make a cheese pumpkin burger, cut cheddar cheese into pumpkin shape and make eyes and a mouth by using a knife.
Use seaweed to make eyes and a mouth for a ghost.
How easy it is to make a dinner cuter!
Want to have a healthy Halloween?
Here is the hamburger recipe made with TOFU!!
1lb ground meat
1pk(about 300g) silken tofu
1cup Japanese Panko
1/2 onion
1 egg
1/2p consomme cube
1/4tsp nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
Place tofu into a blender and make it smooth.
Add panko and let it absorb the water of tofu (about 5mins)
Add meat, egg, nutmeg, salt and pepper and mix well by hand.
Add minced onion and minced consomme cube.
Form into 4-6 patties.
Cook on the preheated skillet over high heat until nice brown. (both side)
Add 1/2 cup of water and place a lid. Steam over medium heat until you don't see water.

You may be successful only if you have ambitious targets. This applies to our company as a whole, to our management team as well as to each individual employee. BEUMER Group provides a wide range of measures that support our employees in their professional targets and development. Motivation by exceptional dedication and high level of commitment of the employees, are a result of the employees high responsibility for own work and the trust BEUMER Group places in the employees.
The BEUMER Group has developed a targeted integration process to support our new employees in their initial onboarding phase through comprehensive training and intensive guidance. Within their first few days on the job, all new hires participate in the onboarding programme. The main objectives of the onboarding programme are to raise enthusiasm and successfully integrate new hires into the BEUMER Group family. The programme consists of 4 modules encompassing product training, IT training, company presentations and department-specific training.
Well-structured schedules with individual training courses aid our newcomers in becoming prepared for their role and familiarise them both with their teams and company structure at an early stage.
Continuous education and professional development of our employees is our top priority. With that in mind, we challenge and assist our employees, offering external training courses and advanced education courses within our company. Our goal is to organise the personal development of every single employee according to their individual needs and responsibilities.
We offer our employees an innovative training platform which presents an easy-to-browse catalogue of the training and education opportunities available at BEUMER Group worldwide.
The online platform also allows to manage the entire process digitally — from defining the training needs of an employee up to booking a course and evaluating it afterwards.
The annual employee and feedback interviews focus on performance and development capabilities. The development measures agreed individually between superior and employee. They are a good basis for acquiring continuously additional qualifications in the professional, social or methodological competence.
For a successful and long-term implementation of our company strategies, we are carrying out an annual target agreement process with our world-wide management. On the basis of individual target agreement meetings, we ensure the implementation of the company strategy in all the BEUMER Group companies in the form of activities and measures.
BEUMER Group devotes particular attention to the development of its own junior staff. An example is our international graduate programme which is implemented to prepare graduates for responsible functional or management positions in the company.
If you want to develop internationally and if you are cosmopolitan, we can offer you good perspectives: from cooperation in international project groups, temporary stays abroad up to the take up of a new position in one of our international companies in the BEUMER Group.

I'm reading "Symplectic geometry and geometric quantization" by Matthias Blau and he introduces a complete set of observables for the classical case:
The functions $q^k$ and $p_l$ form a complete set of observables in the sense that any function which Poisson commutes (has vanishing Poisson brackets) with all of them is a constant.
I wonder why is it so? That is why do we call it a complete set of observables? As I understand it means the functions satisfying the condition above form coordinates on a symplectic manifold, but I don't see how.

Arguments over plans for a high-rise brothel in the centre of Auckland will be heard today.
Four commissioners will hear submissions on the resource consent application for the 15-storey brothel on Victoria St West.
About 20 submitters are expected to speak, as well as those behind the application.
The Chow brothers' proposal is for a tower including restaurants, bars, nightclubs, a brothel, hotel and offices.
Monsignor David Tonks, pastoral assistant to Catholic Bishop Patrick Dunn, warned in his submission that the building could increase crime in the area, particularly murders. He believes that new brothels should be limited to existing red light areas such as Karangahape Rd and Fort St.
But Auckland Council lead senior planner Jennifer Valentine said because activities within the tower were permitted, she could not consider "moral or religious objections, nor potential increases in illegal activities such as crime and drug use".
She acknowledged that of the 221 submissions opposing the development, 208 were because it would be a brothel.
Monsignor Tonks said the building's height indicated a quantity of commercial sex intended far in excess of any other Auckland brothels.
"The proposed brothel would encourage the expansion of the sex industry, which I believe is not in accord with the intentions of the Prostitute Reform Act," which, he said, aimed to decriminalise prostitution, and to create a framework that safeguards the human rights of sex workers and prohibits them from exploitation and promotes the welfare, occupational health and safety of sex workers.
"Few parents would encourage their children to sell or buy sex, because they consider such activity humanly demeaning. They would, therefore, prefer places where sex is sold to be restricted to less prominent areas than Victoria St. Aucklanders are proud to show visitors the Sky Tower. Most would consider an adjacent brothel to say the wrong things about the values we hold dear," he said in his submission.
Catherine Healy of the Prostitutes' Collective said it had made no submission but hoped the building would rise.
"We understand there's been a lot of opposition in respect of this brothel and we're disappointed in that kind of opposition. It's unfortunate people make it so difficult for sex workers to find places to work and we're very appreciative there will be another venue for workers," she said.
The hearing is expected to wrap up tomorrow but could go into a third day. A decision is expected about three weeks after the hearing.

Witty Eatsie Boys boast smart, relaxed fare
I needed a coffee shop in my life. I just didn't realize it until I began my relationship with the Eatsie Boys Cafe, the brick-and-mortar incarnation of a much-loved food truck.
By "coffee shop," I don't mean the boutique coffee operations that have sprung up around town in recent years, where brewing connoisseur-level coffee is the mission and food consists mostly of pastries and snacks purchased from local suppliers. I love those places - they have made coffee-drinking a much less depressing activity in Houston - but I'm talking here about the old-fashioned coffee shop out of mid-century America, the kind of easy, reliable place you could pop into for liquids and short-order sustenance throughout the day.
Eatsie Boys has brought that brand of usefulness to the shady corner of Montrose Boulevard that once housed Scott Tycer's Kraftsmen Cafe. Despite the frantic buzz that surrounded its opening late last year, it's not a big-deal destination spot, just a relaxed venue for picking up something quick and interesting to eat.
The trio that runs the business - CIA-trained chef Matt Marcus, Ryan Soroka and Alex Vassilakidis - have lots of irons in the fire, from the ambitious new 8th Wonder Brewery to a flourishing catering business for special events. They've set their cafe up so that it can more or less run itself, and Marcus' short, smart menu makes the most of a microscopic kitchen space that has a handful of burners and a fry station.
There are cheffy touches to the list of sandwiches, some notably fresh, pretty salads and a rotating selection of Marcus' ice creams, which they previously sold out of their truck when it got too hot to cook. Along with a special or two on the blackboard menu are some old faves from the food-truck days when the Eatsie Boys fed the night owls outside the Agora.
The food is fun (that's the Eatsie Boys' signature style, from their cartoon logo to their rap-rhyming Twitter account), but it doesn't make any big claims for itself. That's a good thing. It allows a newcomer to appreciate the hits for their wit and swagger, and to shrug off the blips in execution as minor annoyances. Even when I've hit a dud here, I've stayed optimistic about my next visit.

In the "hit" category are what may well be the best chicken-salad sandwich I've ever tasted, the bird cooked softly sous vide, dressed with a satiny and slightly hot mayo, and given a crunchy counterpoint of chick-skin cracklins that's pure genius.
That sandwich, dubbed the Slow Ride, has departed from the summer menu, replaced by a curiously dull "chali 2na" version that needed more than a flourish of sprouts and quick cucumber pickles to enliven it. The day I sampled it, the great-sounding garnish of pickled shallots and crispy shallots wasn't plentiful enough to make a dent in all that tuna and all that bread, in the form of a high-rise challah wheat bun.
There you have the two poles of the Eatsie Boys Cafe. I'm never quite sure whether I'll encounter some magnificent brute of a sandwich like the rare-roast-beef Maestro, piled high with caramelized onions, cheddar and jumpy horseradish aioli, with a manic crackle of crushed potato chips on top. Or whether instead I will pick mournfully at a fried-shrimp banh mi that sounded so promising with its pickled vegetable garnishes, only to crater under the influence of shellfish breaded and fried to a hard, overcooked fare-thee-well.
Or I'll find myself fascinated by the sticky-smooth texture of herbed house-made falafel patties, hot from the fryer, set upon a brisk cool bed of chopped vegetables and daubed with a roasted garlic tzatziki sauce that is hauntingly sweet. In a city where falafel tends to be mass-produced, dreary stuff, this version is special. If only its effect were not tamped down by a huge fat challah wheat bun that's too much for the filling by about half. And if only there were enough of that excellent tzatziki variant to balance things out.
Still, it's the kind of dish I'll find myself smiling over later, even as I rework it in my head. I might wish the Meyer lemon vinaigrette on the gorgeous-looking bowlful of asparagus-and-arugula salad weren't sweet and that it gave the vegetables and the central trove of burrata cheese more lift. But later I'll remember how clever I found the snowdrifts of shaved hard-boiled egg and the way the little cubes of sautéed potato gave the salad some unexpected gravitas, and I'll start planning my next visit.
I've held a business breakfast at the cafe at midmorning, when the dining room is quiet, the all-important Wifi is functional and the aroma of coffee from David Buehrer's Greenway Coffee & Tea fills the air. I love the room then, its green views out of old-fashioned windows contrasting with the cheerful graffiti décor inside.
And I love the fact that I can either go virtuous with a cupful of high-quality house granola on top of cool Greek yogurt, dressed with some Texas honey and big fat blackberries; or blow it out with the rich, silky salmon Matt Marcus cures and serves on a bagel plate that would pass muster in a serious Jewish deli.
Add a respectable cappuccino or one of the new Caphin bottled iced Vietnamese coffees that are popping up around town, and you're set for the day.
One of the most inviting patios in town is part of the draw here. The old trees and vine-covered walls of the adjoining Freed-Montrose Neighborhood Library makes it a unique setting in a city where parking-lot or drugstore views are more the norm. Umbrella-shaded picnic tables are good for lounging, even in the heat. The surroundings just look cool, even when they're not.
And there is always Matt Marcus' ice creams to cool things down. I like his purer, more classic flavors, like the caramelized banana or Vietnamese iced coffee. They sing. So does his Whiskey Cereal flavor, with its fine boozy burst, but the addition of leathery flaps of breakfast cereal do the recipe no favors.
It's cheeky and all, but sometimes cheeky doesn't taste great. That's what crossed my mind when I sampled the touted Dazed and Confused ice cream imbued with Shipley Do-nuts. Marcus got the flavor down even unto the strong edge of doughnut grease. And I discovered I really don't like doughnut grease all that much. I know people who dote on this flavor, but for me, the wit got in the way.
That can happen when you're young and frisky. But the jokes can pay off. Eatsie Boys' matzah ball pho is a cultural jest that is quite comforting in its way, with the matzah ball taking the place of, say, a fishball of the sort that might bob in an Asian soup. People get awfully proprietary about pho in this town, and I have had at least one friend complain about the five-spice-scented chicken broth used as a base here.
I liked it, especially once I got all my lime, green chile, cilantro and mint squished in to perfume and flavor the soup.
I ate it under the shade of ancient trees, wondering what the Eatsie Boys would do next. I don't expect that will stop anytime soon.

Apricot Porcini Truffles
I have been testing the walnut sauce to great success, and I will post those recipes probably next week. But I just wanted to share a chocolate truffle recipe, in case you are in the market for a weekend Valentine's Day project.
I can't say the porcini flavor is very distinctive in these truffles, but they are utterly delicious and totally easy to make, though they do take time. And of course, you can forfeit the porcini powder altogether and roll the truffles in either natural unsweetened cocoa or Dutch processed. I really don't think it matters. What's the difference between natural cocoa and Dutch process cocoa? They are both unsweetened, but Dutch process means the cocoa has been alkalized—made less acidic. The flavor is mellower, and supposedly it affects leavening positively in baked foods. But the test kitchen at Cooks Illustrated (my favorite nerdy food mag) has found both work in baking, although their tasters preferred the Dutch.
Apricot Porcini Truffles
I roll my truffles rather small, the size of gumballs, but you can roll them as large as you like. They just become more difficult to cover smoothly with chocolate the larger they are. Regarding the chocolate, sometimes I buy blocks when I am at a baking supply store, but often I use chips. Look for a high quality chocolate, like Ghirardelli or Valrhona.
Makes about 45 truffles
5 ounces dried apricots, minced (about 1 cup)
½ cup orange juice
Heaping ¼ cup sugar
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup butter
1 ½ tablespoons light corn syrup
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate (for interior), cut into small bits or shaves
2 tablespoons Cointreau or other orange liquor
¼ cup porcini powder (see my post Porcini Salt and Porcini Butter from December for details) or unsweetened cocoa, cut into small bits or shaved
20 ounces bittersweet chocolate for shell
In a small heavy bottomed pot add the apricots, orange juice, and sugar. Bring to a boil over a medium heat and cook until the sugar dissolves and then the liquid is absorbed by the fruit, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a medium sized heavy bottomed pot add the cream. Cut the butter in small bits into the pot. Add the corn syrup and heat over a medium lot heat until the butter melts and the cream starts to boil. Remove from heat.
Add the chocolate and the Cointreau to the cream mixture. Stir to combine, and then add the apricot mixture. Pour the mixture into two 9-inch cake pans and freeze for a few hours.
Have ready a cookie tray lined with wax or parchment paper. Remove the chocolate from the fridge. Use one pan at a time, leaving the other in the freezer while you work on the first. The chocolate should be very hard. I use a melon baller to scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture, but you can use a spoon, or cut out pieces with a knife. Roll the truffles between your palms to make a ball. This is a messy business. I have to wash my hands frequently. Be sure to dry them as rolling with wet palms makes the mess worse. The balls won't be perfectly round. That's life.
Continue for the second tray.
Place the balls on the cookie tray and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Pour the porcini or cocoa powder on a flat plate. Remove the chocolate balls and roll them in the powder. Return to the fridge.
Have ready a new cookie tray lined with wax or parchment paper. Heat the remaining 20 ounces of chocolate in a double boiler (I actually prefer a steel bowl over a pot of boiling water because when it comes time to roll the truffles in the chocolate it's easier if the bottom of the bowl is round). When the chocolate is melted, dip the balls in the chocolate and place on the cookie tray.
Dipping the balls in chocolate is not as easy as it sounds. I've used chopsticks, tongs, two tined forks, but at the end of the day, the what works for me is a butter knife or other flat utensil for rolling the truffle in the chocolate, and a fork for lifting it out. The main trick is to have enough chocolate. Trying to cover a truffle with scant chocolate resources is a drag, like trying to stay warm under a blanket that is too small for your bed.
Once the shells are hard you can pack the truffles in candy boxes. They need to stay in the fridge; although you can travel with them without melting—just don't leave them in the back seat of your car in the sun. They hold in the fridge for a good two weeks.

Uganda: Al Qaeda "Smear"?
Kyanjo, Ugandan member of Parliament says the government is trying to use the Al Qaeda card against him to stifle his human rights activism but says he'll give the US embassy his side of the story
[International: Uganda]
Ugandan Member of Parliament Hussein Kyanjo (MP for Makindye West) says the Ugandan government has been spreading false rumors that he has ties to terror group al Qaeda. In an interview with The Black Star News he says the government is trying to curry cheap favor with the United States. He adds that he has good relations with the United States embassy in Kampala and that the slur won't work. A spokesperson for the U.S. embassy said she would "look at the allegations" but added that "at this stage the issue is between him and his government." Kyanjo spoke by phone with Norman S. Miwambo:
BSN: What is your comment about the regime linking you to a terrorist organization such Al Qaeda?
Kyanjo: First of all I think there is a tragic trend in the world where elimination of terrorism is going to be exceedingly difficult because it has been hijacked by fascist dictators all over the world by using it to protect their acts of corruption, nepotism, money laundering and most of all the gripping onto state power.
BSN: How would you describe a person, the architect of such allegations?
Kyanjo: What I describe as monarchical Republicanism.
BSN: What could have been the motive for such people?
Kyanjo: The architects of course are aiming at attracting attention mostly of the U.S. against my person and I intend not to be deterred by this unprofessional talk from defending general human rights and most specifically the people of my Kingdom amongst whom are those who elected me to parliament.
BSN: What are your plans to counter such serious allegations?
Kyanjo: I'm happy that this has come out and I expect those who are concerned with international investigations to take interest in it where I would be more than pleased to share my part of experience.
BSN: Have you discussed such allegation with the Speaker of Parliament?
Kyanjo: I don't intend to put this matter to the speaker because he can't act on a news paper report that has not been supported by the complainant, in this case government……
The help I would need is that of investigators whom I trust are more professional. I'm planning to instead approach the US embassy in Kampala with which I have had good relationship for the last 12 years. I'm sure they will be interested in the subject.
BSN: Are you safe?
Kyanjo: You ask about my life….. every life is in the middle of safety and danger, the difference with me is that I took an oath to serve my people guided by the truth.
BSN: Won't this force you to refrain from what you have been doing?
Kyanjo: It is therefore safer for me to stick to the truth rather than attempting to lie as a way of living longer by avoiding my enemies. …I'm a mature individual who chose to belong to the opposition in the face of overwhelming benefits that reside on the government side.
BSN: What is this to the masses and common man you represent?
Kyanjo: Sign of intimidation and trying to divert us from what we were sent to do. I will keep on serving the interest of my constituency, kingdom and my country….
My last word is that my government was indirectly taken over by international con-men who invest a lot of time discovering international trends especially those that are highly sponsored by big powers and they use this to play politics.
