A few days ago I had a fantastic dinner with a few friends. We tried two Sicilian red wines – one from Planeta and one from Girolamo Russo. Today I will talk about Planeta's 2008 Maroccoli and next week about Girolamo Russo's 2010 'a Rina.
Founded in 1995, this young winery has its headquarter in the commune of Sambuca. However, the Planeta family has been involved in wine-making for 17 generations dating back to 1500s.
Many things changed in the last decade and today Planeta can count themselves in as one of Italy's most well-known wineries. Each year they bottle 2.000.000 bottles. What started out with just a single estate expanded quickly and only recently Planeta opened their sixth estate. The estates are scattered over the complete island which gives Planeta the opportunity to produce a large variety of unique wines.. Another advantage for Planeta to have several estates is the fact that they can plant each grape that they cultivate on the most suitable soil.
Tasting Notes 2008 Maroccoli
The grapes for the Maroccoli (100% Syrah) are grown on their main estate in Sambuca di Sicilia. Planeta believes that Sicilia offers ideal growing for Syrah because of the geographic position of the island. Sicily has lots of sunshine and a dry climate – perfect for Syrah. Maroccoli is classified as IGT Sicilia.
Maroccoli was first produced in 1999. The wine underwent a 12-day fermentation process in stainless steel tanks. Maroccoli aged one year in French oak from Allier. One third new and two thirds old oak.
In the glass, the wine had a ruby red color with garnet hues. The label listed ABV was 14.5%.
On the nose, intense aromas of black cherries & coffee as well as soft aromas of black pepper, cinnamon, vanilla & viola.
In the mouth, Maroccoli was dry, warm and a little bit salty. The wine had a very soft acidity and mellow tannins. Full-bodied with intense notes of dark chocolate. Well-balanced with great harmony. Lingering finish.
Parting Words
Maroccoli is one of the very best Syrah wines that I tasted. There were pretty much no flaws in this wine. It was simply perfect. Maroccoli is recommended. In Munich a bottle of Maroccoli retails for around 24€. According to Wine Searcher the wine is pretty much available world wide. However in most countries only older vintages seem to be available but 2008 is the current vintage.
Have you tried this wine? If you did then please share your thoughts about it in the comment section.

The Hula Chair
Wow, and you thought the Shake Weight had a weird advertising campaign. The Hula Chair and its imitators have a motorized seat that moves in a circular motion as you sit on it. According to vendors, the chair is meant to help you develop stronger abdominal muscles while simultaneously giving you an invigorating massage in the process. The commercials for the product show people performing normal activities, including office work, while sitting on a moving chair.
Whether or not the Hula Chair delivers any benefit to people trying to tone their tummies is a matter of debate. Reviews for the device point out that it's not easy to sit on a moving chair and behave as if nothing unusual is going on. According to MSNBC.com fitness correspondent Jay Blahnik, the chair won't make you shed unwanted inches around your waist [source: Does it Work]. It might make you a big hit at parties, however.

Last summer, my mother's apple tree was really prolific and produce an incredible amount of apples. We made apple butter, apple pies, apple bread and applesauce. We even resorted to peeling and slicing the apples to put in the freezer for a later time.
(this picture was taken last summer. Pete was really good at using the peeler/slicer.)
Well, the time was now.
I discovered I could make sugar free applesauce by using splenda instead of sugar which made my diabetic Peter, and many other sugar free friends, very happy. So when Pete ran out of applesauce, we decided to make more while I had the time away from school.
We took many pounds of sliced, frozen apples and cooked them in the mush which Pete took and smooshed through the strainer. (you had to keep your distance. He had quite a range of flying apple mush)
We ended up with this lovely sauce that we added splenda for sweetner and a dash of cinnamon.
I was given the job of preparing the jars and lids
After filling the jars, they then had to be cooked again to ensure proper preservation without poisoning anyone.
All this was for these beautiful jars of homeade applesauce. (13 in all)
Lucy was there to look queenly.
It's amazing how much faster things go when you can skip the peeling and slicing step.
Enjoy, Petey!

What you need to know about ADHD Medications – their effects, costs, side effects and alternatives
What ADHD Medications are Available?
There are three main ADHD Medications: Ritalin (the original ADHD medication), Adderall and Concerta. Each has its own advantages. Ritalin is the oldest, the simplest chemical formulation, and the cheapest because it can be purchased as a generic medicine. Made up of methylphenidate, it is taken two or three times a day. Having been used since the 1960s as medication for ADHD its effectiveness is well documented.
Concerta like Ritalin uses methylphenidate as its active ingredient. Unlike Ritalin and other ADHD medications at the time, it was specially designed to provide a steady stream of medication through-out the day. Allowing parents to give their child one tablet in the morning before school and the medication will be effective all through the school day and into the evening. Concerta does this by placing the medication in a very cleverly design tablet which includes a laser drilled hole that allows the methylphenidate to slowly seep out.
Adderall is unlike the other ADHD medications because it uses a mix of different forms of stimulants. In theory this gives a smoother trip up to and down from the medication's peak effectiveness. This avoids sudden peaks and troughs in the child's attention span and energy levels. Adderall XR is a variant on standard Adderall designed to give a whole day's supply in a single tablet, similar to the Concerta tablet.
With the introduction of Concerta and then Adderall XR, most users of ADHD medications switched to extended release formulas. To combat this loss of sales, Ritalin introduced two versions, Ritalin LA and Ritalin SR. For more information see Adderall XR and Slow Release ADHD Medications.
What Effect do ADHD Medications Have?
ADHD medications are stimulants and have a similar effect to caffeine, nicotine and street drugs such as cocaine and speed. They stimulate the activity of central nervous system which increases energy levels and helps maintain concentration. How exactly this helps with ADHD is unknown. On the patient information sheets of the ADHD medications you will find the drug companies explicitly saying they do not know how their drugs work.
Current ADHD medications treat the symptoms of ADHD and not the underlying causes. When testing the drugs, patients were measured by teachers and parents on various behaviour scales. Typically these reported increases in concentration, a reduction in hyperactivity and a general improvement in behavior. For a parent's first hand account on the effects of medication see this video: Lil' Renetto… talking about ADHD… and making videos….
Side-Effects of ADHD Medication
No medicine is free of side effect and ADHD medications are no different. As they are stimulants their effects are very similar to drinking too much coffee. The most the common side effect is insomnia with loss of appetite and stomach upsets being close seconds. About 20 – 30% of mediation users will have one or more side effects. These are very minor but can cause further problems and lead to the use of sleeping tablets or appetite enhancers to combat the effects of the ADHD medication.
Unfortunately there are more serious side effects. A lot less is known about these because the drug companies do not run long term trials prior to their ADHD medication getting approval from the FDA. The longest trial run by a drug company is four weeks. This is for a tablet that is routinely used for months and years at a time.
Others have researched the long term impact of ADHD medications and found some worrying effects. Up to 9% of users over a 27 month period developed facial tics. Children with who took the medications for more then 12 months were found to grow 2cm less than their non-drug using peers. There is also concern that the constant stimulation of the central nervous system will train or acclimatize it high levels of stimulation. This may impact in adulthood and result in great use of illegal drug such as cocaine and other high risk behavior.
For more infromation on ADHD medication side effects, see: Adderall Side Effects; Concerta Side Effects; Ritalin Side Effects; and Ritalin and Cocaine Addiction.
The Cost of ADHD Medications
If your insurance or health care system doesn't cover you for the price of your ADHD medications, treatment can get very expensive. For a month's supply, the price of the drugs range from $26 for a generic versions of Ritalin up to $150 for Concerta and Adderal XR. The prices of the timed release versions of the drugs (Adderall XR, Ritalin LA or Ritalin-SR) are about twice the price of the normal versions. The reason for this is simple. The standard versions can be made by generic drug companies because the patents have run out. Where as the timed released version have several more years to run on the patent and so the drug companies can charge what they like for them.
When considering ADHD medication, its worth remembering this is a not a simple course of antibiotics. These a drugs that will be taken for months, if not years, because when you stop taking them the symptoms will return. Consequently the costs will added up, month after month, year after year.
If you are tempted by offers of cheap ADHD medication from online or foreign pharmacies then read this: Want No Prescription Adderall? – Read This Now!.
Alternatives to ADHD Medications
If you are not keen on everyday, giving your child a drug that can have serious short and long term side effects but doesn't actually treat the problem then you need to consider the alternatives to ADHD medication. There are two problems with the alternatives to medication. Firstly, unlike the drug companies, the alternatives do not have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend marketing their products. Secondly, the alternatives take many months to have an effect. ADHD medication have an effect on the symptoms almost instantly. Tackling the underlying cause takes a lot longer.
Probably the best known and most widely available treatment is the Dore Programme of cerebellum exercises. These simple exercise are done everyday for a year or more and train up specific parts of the brain related to coordination, movement and self-control. It is an approach that has many critics but also many customers who have found them to work.
Another movement based approach is Interactive Metronome. This teaches the child a sense of rhythm, timing and control. There has been some very good research on how effective this can be as an alternative to ADHD medications.
A third movement based approach to ADHD is INPP's primitive reflex training. Similar to Dore in some ways, this approach focuses on primitive reflexes that in normal children develop before they are 18 months. The INPP hypothesis is that in children with ADHD the reflexes are retained or not fully developed. Two books related to this are Stopping ADHD and Infinity Walk.
There are various herbal remedies that claim to be alternatives to ADHD medications. The science behind these is very weak but some people claim they work. See ADHD Natural Remedies Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. Omega 3 fish oil supplements have also been promoted as an ADHD treatment. See ADHD and Omega Fish Oils for more information.

It's a phenomenon, all right. Me, Tina Rowley, née Tina Kunz, The High Priestess of Sitting On One's Ass...I tried to sit down and watch the news this afternoon, but my conscience catapulted me out of my seat and I made some phone calls to Wisconsin and Hawaii. Thought I had done what I needed to do to shut my conscience up a minute and went back to try and watch some more news. Again, my ass rose magically off the chair as though the chair repelled it, and I went and composed another letter to the superdelegates. Damn it, I just had more to say.
I wish I could promise you that I wouldn't be writing another one. BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW. Whenever I hear an argument against Barack Obama that my mind leaps to refute, I'm compelled to take it outside, as it were. I'm a big proponent of having one-sided arguments in my shower - I do that all the time - but I'm...yeah. Takin' it to the streets. (At least to the streets of my blog and to Obama's website.)
I'm including the link for you in case you want to compose your own message for the superdelegates.
Here's what I said this time.
Hello again, superdelegates:
My name is Tina Rowley, and I'm a 38-year-old writer, actor and [blah blah blah]. I wrote a letter to you recently explaining why I am supporting Barack Obama and asking that you cast your vote for him.
I needed to write to you again because as I sat with what I had written and sent to you, I realized that I had left out too much. I wrote about Barack Obama's eloquence and unmanufacturable authenticity; his longstanding, unassailable position on Iraq; how he has inspired me out of relative apathy not just to actively support his campaign but to figure out how I can permanently be of service to my community. Finally, I wrote about how positively I felt Barack Obama's presence in the White House would affect the perception of America and Americans on the world stage.
But I left out the most important thing.
I have a son, Finn. He's almost two years old, and as you can imagine, he's the light of my life. He's hilarious and generous and extremely excited to be here. My love and concern for him burn at the center of my chest, and I constantly think about the world he's so enthusiastically a part of.
On the Republican side, we have a candidate who wants us to stay in Iraq indefinitely. A hundred years? A thousand years? It's all right by him.
Well, it's not all right by me. I'm a mother. When I think of all of the American soldiers who have died, and their parents and loved ones and the overwhelming grief they have to be experiencing, my heart wants to run right out of my chest and hide under a rock. It rebels. It's hard to keep the pain of other people vivid in our minds. It's too...well, painful.
Then I think of all the Iraqis who have died, in even greater numbers, and the grieving Iraqi mothers and fathers and children. It's harder yet to stay with it, to stay with the image. These people didn't deserve any of this. They did nothing to us. It's horrible to contemplate, and it should be horrible to contemplate, and it must be contemplated.
Everyone who has died is as beloved by someone as your most beloved is loved by you, and their loss is as grievous as the worst one you have ever faced or ever will. But you know this already.
This - can you believe it? - brings me to the question of electability.
All the polling I've seen recently tells me that Barack Obama has a much greater chance of beating John McCain than Senator Clinton has. It's not only the polls that tell me that, it's my instinct. And it's not only my instinct that tells me that, it's all of the people I heard at my caucus a week ago. There were independents there speaking passionately for Barack Obama. There was a young Republican standing outside with an Obama sign, energetically calling on us to join him in his support as we filed inside. He couldn't caucus with us, as a Republican, but there he was anyway.
I probably don't need to tell you that there weren't any Republicans outside holding Clinton signs. And no independents spoke up on her behalf in our caucus room. Our precinct went to Barack Obama 64-20.
That Senator Clinton is a polarizing figure in our country isn't new information, I know. But I hope that piece of information never loses its power for you. As Democrats, we don't want to see the Republican base mobilized against a common enemy. And who can doubt that it would happen?
What happens, then, to all of the other seats in Congress that are up for grabs? Do we keep our hold in the House and Senate? It's not a vast majority we have in there to begin with. My fear is that we not only fail to make gains, but that we lose the balance of power...
...and have President McCain sworn in on January 20th, humming "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" all the way up the Capitol Steps. (Iran...where the people are just as real as the people in Iraq and just as real as the American soldiers and civilians who are currently targets of violence and will only become more so if McCain is running our foreign policy.)
I believe that if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, we stand a grave chance of this coming to pass. I do not believe she can beat John McCain.
I firmly believe that Barack Obama can.
There's too much at stake in this election. I haven't even touched on global warming. I envision a McCain administration that's dragged by the conservative interests to which it's beholden away from the decisive action we need to take to save our planet from impending crisis. The old joke "If you believe that, I've got some waterfront property in Arizona I'd like to sell you" suddenly becomes a lot less funny.
I want Finn to become aware of his surroundings in a world where people talk to each other reasonably despite their differences. I don't want conservatives and liberals demonizing each other anymore. We're too creative for that. I'm guilty, too. I'd like a way out. I want our world leaders to talk to each other, and not play ego-driven games with foreign policy where the stakes are life and death.
Barack Obama is brilliant, substantive, inspiring and he's setting people on fire. I'm seeing media coverage of his popularity that's spinning this as a bad thing, which is incredible to me. Don't we want a candidate that pulls people out of passivity? That seems like a no-brainer to me. If people are excited about Obama to the point where they're freaking other people out, I would suggest that it's a natural reaction to the despair they've felt under this disastrous Bush administration. Someone's come along who looks like he can start turning the ship of state around. That doesn't make him some kind of false Messiah. And it says worlds about where we are in our national consciousness that a candidate who can inspire and uplift and mobilize an electorate is spun as some kind of impossible unicorn, and his followers a bunch of starry-eyed fantasists. I can't speak for Senator Obama's other supporters, but I definitely find that notion insulting. The heart in my chest doesn't cancel out the head on my shoulders. That Obama supporters tend to be a well-educated bunch puts the lie to this notion of a typical supporter running purely on feeling. Educated people tend to to stay educated on the issues, and if they're leaning towards Barack Obama, it's worth noting.
But if someone wants to support Barack Obama because their heart tells them to, that is fine by me. This country has been seriously divided and wounded by the current administration and by the hopelessness and apathy it's generated. Obama is strong on policy, but he also doesn't ignore our deeper systemic problems. When he paints the picture of an empathy deficit, something unglues in my chest and I want to cheer. Somebody's finally talking about it.
There we go. I think I've finally gotten it all out. I suppose if I haven't, I'll come to you with more of my thoughts. I appreciate your taking the time to listen.
And I once again urge you to cast your crucial vote for Barack Obama.
Many thanks,
Tina Rowley
You know what I forgot to do? I forgot to remind them that Finn isn't just an anecdote. He's a real little guy with a body and little heartbeat. I fuckin' mean what I said about him. Damn. Well, I'm not going back now with that piece of information. I can't gild the lily with that, however important it is to me. Hell's bells. Oh, well.

CB4 welcomes 120 more units
A local developer's request to rezone two stretches of land in Corona headlined the Wednesday, Apr. 6 Community Board 4 meeting, held at the VFW Flanders Field Post 150, at which the builder's attorney was on hand to detail the community benefits of the proposed modification.
Jeffrey A. Chester spoke on behalf of Anthony Argento about plans to build three separate residential buildings containing a combined 120 units along 94th Street and Corona Avenue.
The speaker informed board members that the project would revitalize a downtrodden neighborhood rife with graffiti, litter and various forms of criminal activity.
"It's going to be nicer than your typical development," promised Chester. "We want to make sure the buildings are constructed with architectural integrity … something the community can be proud of."
Specifically, community board members were asked to endorse the changing of a M1-1 District to an R7B District property in order to allow the lot to match the existing residential character of the areas surrounding it.
Attendees were further informed of Argento's commitment to add at least 75 underground parking spaces for the future inhabitants of the dwellings, along with flowers and greenery that would be planted around the edifices and on street sides.
Chester acknowledged the unique configuration of the lot in question, but assured listeners that ample entrances would be provided for large trucks to enter the gated property in case of an emergency.
Along the 91st Place portion of the area, Argento's representative proposed turning the existing R7B commercial overlay into a C2-3 District that would prevent a future influx of car dealerships and other similar businesses in that particular pocket. The commercial locations currently in the area, he mentioned, would be allowed to remain.
When asked by board member Judith D'Andrea whether the developer intends to address the growing need for additional classroom space, Chester communicated that Argento has already leased the biggest portion of his parcel to Newtown High School.
Chairperson of the Postal Committee Stephen Castro, on the other hand, expressed his concerns about safety and asked that 24-hour security be provided by the land owner, along with a sufficient amount of lighting around the perimeter of all three buildings.
Both board members and other attendees at the April session were receptive to the rezoning application, including former City Council Member Helen Sears, who vouched for Argento as a "responsible" individual who "cares for the area."
She predicted that the undertaking would beautify the community and ultimately help foster the creation of local jobs.
Argento, it was noted, is well known for owning and operating soundstages over the past 25 years in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Resident Maria Alvarez Castro sang a similar tune by adding: "I'm here to support the project. This will bring light to the neighborhood; it will bring back small businesses."
The board later voted unanimously to approve the rezoning and subsequent building construction, which won't immediately commence, according to Chester, since credit and financing for construction projects is very difficult to find during the nation's ongoing recession.
"We started this in 2005. We are not putting a shovel in the ground tomorrow given what the economy is like today," shared the attorney.
The community board's public hearing will reportedly be followed by testimony that will be given at an upcoming Queens Borough Board meeting. Subsequent approvals would then have to be granted by the Department of City Planning and the City Council.
Okay, so the board is saying they still need more school space, which makes me wonder why DOE didn't buy this property for a new school instead of putting yet another one in Maspeth and busing the Corona kids there. Doesn't it make more sense to build the schools where the kids live? The guy says he isn't even ready to build anything and won't for some time. Why waste the opportunity to get a decent sized parcel? Why didn't Nick Comaianni suggest this?
Meanwhile the CB members, geniuses that they are, went ahead and green lighted a proposal that will further overburden the already overcrowded schools. No real community benefit except that there will be new buildings. Corona has been inundated with new buildings over the past few years and looks more like a dump now than ever. But these will be different. After all, the developer said so!
Great job.

Man you just got to love this website.
Here in NYC, where the media is so strong and cleaver (do we need to know anything more about Tiger Woods - now really?) you hear almost nothing of the petty bullshit the other 95% of us put up with....
in a place they tell us one of the finest cities in the world - indeed, self-styled world capital (did they ever take a ride under the Roosevelt el at midnight, or see people getting systematically screwed right out there in full view),
or magical place whose dynamic intellectual life attracts the worlds tastemakers and people of letters (really - and they don't see that they live in the same state as Albany politicians?)
Naw, crappy, you just churn this stuff out day after day relentlessly
We all know that just as everyone that is anyone in Queens…
Reads it.
Good work!
Thank you!

Notice how they build this in places where you have lots of tweeded immigrants and few middle class complainers.
A pols would consider Elmhurst and Corona ideal places - excellent communities.
Show how the what the machine thinks is good - and what you think is good - a very very very different.
So do something about it. The taxes you redeem might actually help you for a change.
- Monday, April 26, 2010
Half of Corona was already upzoned. I guess developers can just go to BSA to overdevelop the other half.
- Monday, April 26, 2010
They should be building schools there instead of busing all the kids in Corona to other neighborhoods. It would be cheaper in the long run. Busing is expensive and not fair to the kids.

the U.F.T. is making sure that the dues paying teachers are located in safe, tree lined communities.
who cares if the pupils have to ride ten miles a day to school.they must rise one hour earlier,and get home late.
walking to school is exercising those calories off. and the community has a local place for the parents to meet. the parents do not show up at distant school meetings. and the d.o.e.loves that.
liberalism begins at the cradle.....and then some.....
if no busing money ,no graft for the democrat politicians. they spend and waste the taxes,and raise raise raise ,until you bleed.

text: Guardian Navigation 0 Posted December 20, 2018 Shipping bulk cargo entails considering a number of factors. You have to be vigilant about your choice, as you cannot afford to go wrong. That said, keeping a few simple pointers in mind can point you in the right direction. Do keep in mind that you will an increasing number of large shippers available for transporting your cargo today. That said, you could end up spoilt for choice and this might lead to confusion. To make things easier for you, here's a brief guide that you can follow when selecting a bulk carrier: Destination This one is a no-brainer. You have to pick a carrier based on the destination you will be shipping items to on a regular basis. Depending on your requirements, you may find that working with the largest company might not prove to be the ideal choice for you. Often, a small shipper can carry out the task for you in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. You should start by creating a list of destinations that you want to ship goods to. Based on this, you can then shortlist bulk carriers that transport there. Cargo The type of cargo you want to ship also determines your choice of bulk carrier. For instance, the requirements for shipping dry cargo in bulk quantities are different to say shipping non-perishables. Therefore, you have to select a carrier who has experience of shipping the type of cargo you send to your locations regularly. Always discuss your cargo with the company you are considering hiring. Not every service is equipped to transport delicate items or any other specific type of cargo. Quantity The average size of your shipments can also guide you towards selecting a bulk carrier. Depending on the size of your cargo, the shipper might offer you a discount, particularly if you will be sending regular shipments. You need to have a clear idea of the quantity of items you plan to send with each shipment. Since the size affects weight and packaging needs, keeping this factor in mind is important. Also, bulk carriers don't cater to shipments below a certain weight level. Tracking You should never work with a shipper that doesn't offer some form of tracking. In fact, the leading companies in the industry are offering real-time tracking, allowing you to keep an eye on your shipment while it is in transit. You can rest assured that the cargo will reach the destination on time and without any unexpected delays. These are a few factors that enable you to select the right bulk carrier for your requirements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Through one of those glorious internet rabbit holes I found myself on The New Traditionalist's blog where they posted on Truman Capote's Hampton's vacation home. It's so interesting to see the place he cherished and designed and decorated himself.
It was the 50's and 60's, I'll give him that, but it's so interesting to see some of these other Hampton properties because in my head I always picture row upon row of Robert A.M. Stern/Ina Garten-esque East coast houses. I feel like this would be something that feels right at home on our San Juan Islands.
Here are some photos dug up from a 1975 Arch Digest article featuring the property:
I love those bookcases flanking the fireplace. Chunky and linear.
And what the property looks like today after many changes:
Cute little out building with a stellar trellis.
If you told me this picture was from the northwest, I would have no problem believing you.
No more bookcases, but the change to the stairs makes such a difference to the space. It's just a little too severe for my taste but it's the furniture that's tripping me up, not the architecture.
I would be happy waking up in this room, but don't you think he rolled over somewhere when the first roller of white paint hit the walls? I love the European feel it's taken on, but it sure is different from the house Capote knew.

November 18, 2016Reviewer: Alejandra in Washington* A bit on the chewier/yeasty side when eaten fresh/raw.. but toasted is amazing. Tastes delicious :):) they're big so one slice is good enough toO!
July 31, 2015Reviewer: Abby in Iowa* I'm not a huge fan of this bread for things like cold sandwiches, but it's awesome when you heat it up. Toast, french toast, and grilled cheese sandwiches are my favorite ways to use this bread. Macros are on point and it freezes great. Great way to add extra protein without the extra carbs bread usually has.
January 10, 2015Reviewer: Anne in California* I like the bread. It is both chewy and dense, so it feels more substantial than basic white bread (which you already know from the rest of the reviews), and a little sweet, so it's good for toast, but I wouldn't use it for sandwiches. I'm writing this review as I place my second order for this bread, so it's certainly well enough. Also seems to be priced better than other high protein breads.
March 04, 2014Reviewer: A customer in Connecticut* P28 bread is a bit on the pricey side, but it is really filling. I sometimes really want a slice of toast and I try to stay away from conventional bread. I used to be a really big bread eater, especially loving fresh homemade bread while it is still warm.. omg.
No, I am not going to tell you that this tastes like fresh, warm, homemade bread. Sorry.
BUT, this is an alternative bread that can be used as toast, in a sandwich or in the oven with a slice of tomato and some cheese melted on to make a yummy treat for those who would prefer to (or need to) stay away from conventional bread.
I like the taste, and actually also like their bagels, although the bagels are a bit too bulky for me to eat a whole one.. the bread is just simpler so I buy it on occasion and enjoy it guilt free.
February 28, 2014Reviewer: ALYSSA in California* I was shocked at how much I liked this bread! When not toasted the texture is fluffy/spongy. Which is why I feel it tastes best toasted but doesn't all bread taste yummy toasted :) I usually cant consume dairy or whey isolate but this product didn't hurt my stomach. Yes it's pricey bread but there's other pricey bread out there as well that doesn't have this nutritional profile. It's a must try! I like to pair one slice with almond butter and a side of eggs for a balanced meal. I can't wait to try their nut butters!
August 25, 2012Reviewer: Stase in Canada* WOULD PREFER SAVORY VERSION. I love the protein content and texture of the P28 bread, but not fond of the very sweet, cinnamon-y flavor. I wish the company would come up with a savory version that uses herbs (e,g, onion, sage, garlic etc) to flavor, in lieu of sweeteners. I am a long time Netrition customer.
June 03, 2012Reviewer: Ryan in Massachusetts* Allow me to preface this review by saying all in all I like the bread and will continue buying it. That said there are a couple of things that would make me like it more. I'd prefer it if it were less sweet so that it tasted more like regular whole wheat bread. Not sure why they felt the need to add extra sweetener. Also, I wish they'd cut out the cinnamon. I'm talking about in the plain version not the cinnamon version. The plain wheat bread has cinnamon in it as well and I can taste it no matter what I'm using the bread for. It's a plus when making cinnamon toast or french toast, but not at all a plus for a tuna fish sandwich, or any sandwich I've made with it. It's not enough of a detriment to stop me from eating the bread, but I really don't see the need for cinnamon in the plain version and wish they'd eliminate it. The extra sweetness and cinnamon taste are why I'm rating the bread a 4 instead of a 5. Other than that I like everything about the bread and still recommend it.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 17, 2011Reviewer: Amy in Texas* It's a little chewy like sourdough bread, but a great substitute for regular bread. The slices are large enough to make a sandwich from one piece.

When we went to Cabella's to look at stuff for a trip to the lake he came across the Lanskey Diamond knife kit and was like that's what I want for christmas. Well christmas is almost here and ive been looking at the reviews for it and they are pretty mixed. Some love it some hate it but the most common complaint i am seeing is that it doesn't fit all knives and that the stand isn't all that great. Does anyone have any other recommendations or ideas on a better one or anything i should get him in addition to the set.

College Orchestra Performance: 1982
Monday, June 20th, 2016
I recently discovered this U-matic videotape of a 1982 performance by the Imperial College orchestra. Notable is the early appearance by Richard Dickins (right), this was before he had been appointed conductor and subsequently director of music at Imperial College.
The quality and especially the colour are rather poor, but once again I'm thankful that we do at least have this recording, brought to you for the first time since being digitised.

Larry Hench: June 1996
Wednesday, June 1st, 2016
Larry Hench, Emeritus Professor of Ceramic Materials died on 16 December 2015.
He joined Imperial in 1995 from the University of Florida, having made the seminal discovery in 1969 of Bioglass − the first reported synthetic material to form a bond with living tissues.
As Chair in Ceramic Materials at Imperial, he set out to uncover the basic cell biology mechanisms that gives Bioglass its remarkable properties. He set up the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Centre with the late Professor Dame Julia Polak. There they made the fascinating discovery that the unique bone growing properties of the glass were due to the dissolution products of the glass stimulating bone cells at the genetic level. Members of their team went on to make the glass into 3D scaffolds for use in bone regeneration.
The only video footage in our archive is what we shot for inclusion in his inaugural lecture in June 1996. And, unlike other inaugurals that we have recorded clips for, this one actually has him in it.

Week 27 and the realisations of expecting a boy are really starting to filter through my mind.
A lot of his lessons in life, will rest squarely on my shoulders. Things like…
I'm going to have to teach him how to use…public toilets.
Navigating the minefield of disgusting unsanitary hazards of neanderthals, whose care for basic human hygiene is as carefree as a six year old running through a lawn sprinkler. Learning the difference between a urinal and a hand basin (my younger brother made that fatal mistake around the age or 4 or 5). How to avoid stepping in other people's "puddles" and avoiding stray pubic hairs and droplets on the seat. Laying paper on the seat before you sit and try not to panic when the toilet water splashes up against your undercarriage. Never look at another man's junk and most importantly, don't eat the urinal cakes…they're not lollies.
And it doesn't stop there. There's also…
The joys and hazards of having…one of "those".
Where to stick it, how to clean it, how to conceal it at inopportune moments and most importantly…do everything you can to avoid getting hit in it!
And then things just get murky when he becomes a teenager. No chance in hand-balling that one over to the missus.
I guess I shouldn't be at all surprised that it's up to me to tackle the subject of "the tackle".
After all, it takes one to know one.

Former Wallabies coach John Connolly says it is now or never for the Brumbies as the battle for top spot in Super Rugby's Australian conference goes down to the wire.
The Brumbies head to Auckland's Eden Park on Friday night to tackle the Blues, a match they simply must win well to stave off a fierce late challenge from a resurgent Waratahs side to snatch their finals spot.
Both sides are on 39 points, but the Brumbies have one more win to their name and thus sit in top position.
Connolly has backed them to stay there and remain in contention for an elusive third Super Rugby title, describing them as the most talented Australian team in the competition.
But he says their chances will evaporate next year when skipper Stephen Moore heads to Queensland, David Pocock goes on his sabbatical and Joe Tomane and Matt Toomua move to Europe.
"I'm tipping (them) to win their final two matches and hold on to that spot," Connolly wrote in his column on rugby.com.au.
"(But) you get the feeling it might be now or never for them if they are going to finally break through for a title after making the finals the past three years.
"To date not much has been done to replace these players down in Canberra, although it is virtually impossible to replace over 200 Test matches worth of experience."
Petaia makes solid return from injury
Huge boost for iconic Queensland stadium
Kolisi's pain over mum's abuse
The Brumbies have made two changes to the side that beat the Reds last week, with Michael Wells to start his first Super Rugby match in place of the injured Ben Hyne at No.8, while halfback Tomas Cubelli swaps with Joe Powell.
Meanwhile, the Blues are guaranteed to finish last in the New Zealand conference for the third-straight season, meaning the most they can hope for is to help shape the Australian finals race.
The Waratahs, who have won six of their past seven, visit Eden Park in the final round next weekend.
But being kingmakers in Australia isn't doing much to fire them up this week - seeking an elusive 80-minute performance is, according to assistant coach Glenn Moore.
"Our focus all year has been making sure we perform and we still have the chance to play really well," he said.
The Blues starting XV will be unchanged if centre Male Sa'u and lock Josh Bekhuis pass late fitness tests.

Good government depends on it
This week is National Newspaper Week and the 2007 theme centers on public notices in newspapers. Called "legals" by many, public notices are an essential part of open government and an important segment of the community newspaper.
Each week, many area residents study the legals page or pages to keep track of court proceedings, foreclosures and bid opportunities. Laws pertaining to the publication of legal notices also require that cities and counties publish financial statements that show citizens in black and white how taxpayers' money is being spent. Water reports, meeting notices and election ballots are also part of the legal page offerings. By law, these notices must be published in legal newspapers, which in Barry County, includes only two newspapers - the Cassville Democrat and the Monett Times.
The history of public notices dates back to early civilizations when notices were posted in public squares. In the United States, the Acts of the First Session of the First Congress in 1789 required that all bills, orders, resolutions and congressional votes be published in at least three publically available newspapers. This practice is hundreds of years old and is worth continuing.
Some government entities balk at having to publish this information in local newspapers and there are always efforts underway to weaken or water down public notice laws. Thankfully, these efforts have been stopped in the name of open government. The public's right to know is an essential part of democracy, and since our country's founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. has thrived under a government of the people for the people by the people - a government that governs with the consent of its citizens who make informed decisions thanks in part to the information they find within the pages of a newspaper.
In recent years, an argument has been made that public notices would be better publicized on the Internet. Although, the Internet is a good communication tool, public notices buried on government web sites cannot replace the convenience, reliability and credibility of a newspaper delivered to your home each week. The publication of public notices in local newspapers ensures that local citizens will see the information. To quote the Newspaper Association Managers (NAM) organization, "the permanence, stability and independent verification offered by publication of public notices in newspapers ensure citizens have access to bonafide, trusted information about the business of government."
It's also important to note that publishing notices in the newspaper reaches an audience that cares most about what's going on with their government. According to a recent Pulse Research survey conducted for the Missouri Press Association, 67 percent of newspaper readers voted in the last election. Newspaper readers are involved in the community and subscribe to make sure they know what's going on with their city council, their school board and their county commission. Public notices are an important part of government disclosure and these notices can only be found in your local newspaper.
As this year's National Newspaper Week claims, "Public notices in newspapers . . . Because good government depends on it."
Editor's Note: It wouldn't be National Newspaper Week if I did not point out the extraordinary work the Cassville Democrat staff does to publish this newspaper each week. The staff box appears at the right of this editorial. Each person listed is an integral part of our newspaper team. The Cassville Democrat staff is committed to excellence and takes pride in publishing a high quality newspaper week in and week out. I hope when you see a member of our staff you'll compliment them on a job well done.

This is a paper I recently wrote for my Sociology of Gender class here at Maryland. Limited to 5 or so pages, I had to cut out a ton of elaborations on some of these concepts, but this topic is something in which I'm super interested (and probably would have written my thesis on, had I not been applying to law school last fall). I thought it was pertinent to the topics on this blog, so yea! (Also, it's so much more fun to write papers with links.) I encourage comments/questions!
In the decades since the second wave feminists rallied Washington for equal rights, American women have certainly achieved great bounds in education and professional advancement relative to men. While many in society cite these measures as sufficient for deeming feminism irrelevant and unnecessary in an age of such "equality," these economic measures of women's equality are, in fact, continuations of patriarchal controls. The gendered institution of capitalism – which through clever marketing purports to be a liberating product of sexual revolution and empowerment – is just another means of reinforcing female subordination through social, political, and economic means. The increased position of women in the labor force is not a sign of liberation, but rather a reproduction of masculine hegemony under the guise of economic choice. The marketing of particular fashion and beauty products to women "appears to displace traditional modes of patriarchal authority" (McRobbie 2007:718), in that, through their increased earnings and prominence in the work force, women can buy products which supposedly liberate them. Capitalism in general works to subordinate one class of people to another through limited access to means of advancement. Capitalism as a gendered institution allows women to advance only to the point at which they believe they have real choice – in their spending patterns, their job options, their life plans. In reality, capitalism serves to reinforce the patriarchal ownership and control structures of society all within the false discourse of women's liberation and economic choice.
Gendered institutions are established and advanced through a variety of social regulations. Capitalism is no different from other gendered institutions like religion, education, the media, or families. It is both constructed and regulated by formal laws, cultural practices, and discourses. This paper will focus on the latter two categories as a means of reinforcing capitalism as a gendered institution. As mentioned previously, the wide dissemination of discourses surrounding of women's liberation and putative equality (through both job opportunities and consumerism) is, paradoxically, a means of securing gender retrenchment (McRobbie 2007). One need only look to the myriad products marketed towards women in a way which pretends to be liberating, but is really reinforcing gender stereotypes surrounding behavior, appearance, and (perhaps most important) proper roles in society.
Philosopher Nina Power writes that in this 21st century interpretation of feminism as consumerism, "the desire for emancipation starts to look like something wholly interchangeable with the desire to simply buy more things" (2009: 27-28). She continues that, "stripped of any political quality [to, perhaps, challenge or overturn the patriarchal economy], feminism becomes about as radical as a diamanté phone cover" (2009: 30). Indeed, many of the products recently marketed to women all carry the mantra of liberation – freedom from under-arm hair (Dove deodorant), menstrual cycles (Seasonale), or even pesky stomach aches (probiotic yogurt)– yet they all serve to reinforce the patriarchal domination over women's bodies and tendencies through compulsory femininity. [1]
Consumerism for modern women is centered not only around the myth of liberation, but also is deeply intertwined with the sexualization of female consumers. McRobbie discusses the myth in great detail, but the discourse can be summarized as follows: "to secure a post-feminist gender settlement, [women must sign] a new sexual contract" (2007: 721). What McRobbie means by this is that the "supposed liberation of women comes in the form of sexualized products [while] wrapped in discourses of individualism, consumerism, and empowerment[2]" (Evans, Riley, Shankar 2010: 115). The recent trends of young girls with Playboy icons on their school supplies, middle-aged women taking pole-dancing aerobics classes, vajazzling, the compulsion to get Brazilian bikini waxes – all of these appear to be means of self-liberation, and the realization of the goals of second-wave feminism. However, these specific purchases are merely the "choices" which capitalism as a gendered institution designs for women to keep them slightly subordinated, while female consumers believe these purchases are either signs of achieving equality or means of advancing towards it. These sexualized products used by women "employ the signifiers of patriarchal and objectifying practices to produce the signified meaning of liberation, assertiveness, and power" (Evans et al. 2010: 120). These dominant consumerist discourses support the theory of social constructionism. Women's sexuality is not fixed – it is a site of struggle – but capitalism works as a gendered institution to perpetuate the myth that a certain, hyper-sexualized type of woman is the paradigm to which all other women should aspire.
Since the 1960s and the "sexual revolution," companies have had to work harder to convince "liberated" and working women that their products are still necessary to women's advancement and happiness. The cultural practices of buying products are further purported to be individual choices, but they actually align with a very specific narrative of capitalist society. Women are so conditioned "to think that [their] behaviors are individual (a degree is an 'investment,' starting a family is a 'personal choice'), that [they] miss the collective and historical dimensions of [their] current situation" (Power 2009: 34). Capitalism works only when certain groups (workers) are subordinated to other groups (owners). Applying an intersectional analysis, Evans et al. realize that gender discrimination is evident in capitalism, but so is racism and classism (and it has been that way since the industrialized period). Capitalist owners subordinate lower classes through their monetary prowess and alienate workers from each other through manufactured compulsions towards competition amongst themselves. It is also pertinent to recognize the power of the patriarchy in shaping how capitalism works to not only subordinate women but also to alienate them from each other and their collective voice.
In this way, capitalist corporations have created a subtle discourse within society that there is no longer any place for feminism – that women can simply work to buy themselves freedom. This is particularly dangerous because it also supports the narrative that critical thinking about one's condition is no longer necessary. McRobbie writes that "the attribution of apparently post-feminist freedoms to women most manifest within the cultural realm […] becomes, in fact, the occasion for the undoing of feminism" (2007: 719). What goes often unconsidered in this narrative is that waged work is required for this consumed emancipation. Women have always been laborers – only recently has a percentage of their work been recognized as worthy of pay – but now, this waged labor is even less of a choice because of capitalism's pressures to consume certain products as well as the lack of sufficient social services to allow women real choices, like parental leave. With the dominant narrative that women's freedoms are intrinsically tied to products comes the inevitable commodification of women's bodies.
This dangerous narrative has catastrophic consequences for the subordination of women within the economy: "The particular commodity, with whose bodily form [women] the equivalent form [the product] is thus socially identified, now becomes the money commodity, or serves as money" (Marx 1867: 80). This compulsion to consume products in this particularly "post-feminist" and highly sexualized sense is especially challenging for those with fewer resources. There exists a feeling that one must consume in order to fit the feminine – nay, American – ideal (Hong 2006). Those who feel that they must work just to consume these products of subordination are experiencing patriarchal capitalism on multiple levels – by purchasing sexualized products, lower-class women are experiencing a false sense of empowerment, but because they are working just to consume, they are essentially becoming the aforementioned Marxist commodities.
Post-feminist consumerism exists in a manner which creates an entire commodity culture (Jameson 1991). In this way, "culture" precludes any possibility for true gender equality – it is so saturated with the importance of capital that individual attributes are intentionally ignored. The myth of individualism and liberation intertwined with the consumption of products reinforces the power of capitalism as a gendered institution – designed by men, it is no wonder that capitalism works tirelessly to continually appease women with fun products so they will not truly question the structure of the economy which continually pays them less for equal work and which allows few choices for women outside of the household. It is difficult to tell what products capitalism will develop next to perpetuate its constructed myth of gender equality. What is certain is that, as long as capitalism exists as a major institution of the patriarchy, it will work tirelessly not only for class stratification, but also gender stratification – these are the processes through which the system survives. Touting the recent advancements of women in education and the work force is not sufficient – until sexist capitalism is no longer consumed and supported by financially successful women, it will continue to construct and reinforce a commodity culture which relies upon the subordination of the class of women.

Madang Gooksu: Knife-cut Chicken Noodle Soup
On cold days like these, there's nothing better than a piping hot bowl of kalgooksu, which literally translates to knife noodles because they are hand-cut using knives. And there's no other place in LA that does it better than Madang Gooksu. The thick, rich broth has hints of dried anchovy (myulchi), chicken and garlic and the classic chicken kalgooksu comes with shredded chicken, huge chunks of potatoes and zucchini. Because it doesn't come fully seasoned, one can customize one's desired level of saltiness and spiciness with the accompanying seasoning sauce consisting of soy sauce, red pepper flakes and green onions (and probably other ingredients I'm missing). If you're nursing a cold, it doesn't get more comforting than this. The complimentary kimchi side dish will awaken your congested sinuses too. The kalgooksu portions are large. One order could easily feed two.
The (hot stone) dolsot bibimbap was also decent. The kimchi was ok but not as good as the one at Hanbat, which serves my favorite bowl of sulleongtang.
In short, the thing to have at Madang Gooksu is, uh, gooksu, which means noodles. In the summertime, this place serves an excellent konggooksu, which is a cold, soybean-based noodle dish that I can't get enough of. The ice-cold, milky broth is basically ground soybeans that have been soaked, peeled (it's a lot of work to make it at home but well worth it) and pureed with some water and then seasoned with some salt. Add thin noodles, a wedge of tomato (odd, I know, but indispensable), cucumber strips, half a hard-boiled egg and voila.

Soup's On: Simple and Easy Entertaining
It's time for our quarterly dinner party extravaganza again. My cooking-mate, YT and I decided to do something with seasonal vegetables, themed around harvest. We leafed through vegetarian (I know!) cookbooks and many others and the results were an eclectic mix of healthy dishes that brought out the best of the ingredients' flavors and textures.
It being cold outside, I decided to do a soup sampler and we altogether made four soups, including mint pea, roasted red pepper, red onion and corn with chipotle. Yes, I did color-coordinate it somewhat, but flavors ruled.
Before I go into the meal, let me tell you about the appetizers we served: bresaola with persimmons and fennel, cheese puffs and dried apricots stuffed with a goat cheese and mango chutney mixture, each topped with a single jewel of pomegranate seed.
The beauty of these dishes is that they were so simple to make. It was just a matter of finding the right combination of ingredients to create magic. The saltiness of the thinly sliced, air-dried beef went so well with the sweetness of the persimmons (I used ripe fuyu) and licorice taste of fennel as well as its crunchiness. Just drizzled some olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the layering and voila. It looked and tasted like a million dollars. The cheese puffs were soft, warm and cheesy -- what's not to like? I had to stop myself from consuming one too many to save room for what was to come.
The apricot and goat cheese appetizer was good but not fantastic. There was definitely a novelty factor but not sure I'd make it again.
Let's get into the soups and main dishes. The soups were all excellent. I had always fantasized about serving the soups in small shots like they do in restaurants so it was nice being able to do that, in various colors to boot.
It's hard to come up with a favorite soup as they were all delish.
Sampling the soups was like a wine tasting -- there seemed to be a proper order depending on the intensity of the flavors.
I slurped the corn soup first and savored with delight the concentrated corn flavor spiked up with roasted chipotle peppers. This recipe came from the Greens cookbook. I only added a touch of cream so it wasn't too heavy. Even though corn isn't in season, it was a wonderfully comforting soup. As was the mint pea soup topped with smoked salmon and creme fraiche. This soup is versatile because frozen peas are always "in season" and the bright green lights up the table. The mint and pea combination is a classic one, of course, and it was nice complementing it with the saltiness of the salmon and the creme, which is always welcome as long as it doesn't overwhelm. The roasted red pepper soup, given a slightly Indian take with cumin and cilantro, was an unusual combination that worked very well (the lovely orange hue further brightened the table). The recipe from Food & Wine Magazine (one of my favorite recipe sources) called for seared scallops on top that I skipped. I had the red onion soup last because it was the heartiest. It also had the most texture with chunky onion strips that were sweet from caramelization and floating in this delectable deep red concoction. This recipe was from the Greens cookbook as well.
For salads, we had a cornucopia of winter vegetables that included leeks, cauliflower, squash, baby carrots and turnips to name a few, with a garlicky parsley dressing that added just the right amount of flavor and color to the winter veggies.
We also had an arugula and serrano ham salad with slivers of shaved ricotta salata topped with pomegranate seeds. This salad is one of my favorite salads, not only because it looks beautiful but also tastes so good.
Ok, it's not exactly guilt-free because of the ham but it's only dotted with ham, not overwhelmed by it. And the pomegranate salsa using pomegranate molasses is the perfect dressing for this salty, crunchy and slightly sweet salad. It's so easy to make, looks gorgeous on the table and tastes great -- a surefire winner at dinner parties! You'll notice I've made this for a Spanish fiesta before to much raves.
I also made a dish with brussels sprouts, my current obsession. I had cooked with them before but had never roasted them. David Chang was famously quoted as saying that "you can't f**k them up" and true to this statement, his rendition of brussels sprouts became the most popular item in his restaurants.
I was given a cool-sounding recipe from GQ's blog and first tried the one in italics on the bottom of the entry. The healthier version was out of this world, so I had to try the spicy one using Sriracha sauce Chang had.
OMG. The thick-cut bacon bits cooked to crunchy perfection certainly helped and squirted with some "death ketchup," Sriracha sauce, it doesn't get any better. The version using olive oil, lemon juice and almond slivers was just as delicious, if not as decadent.
I highly recommend anyone try this recipe immediately. If it conjured up some bad dinner table memories associated with brussels sprouts, this may just be the opportunity for you to rid yourself of this once and for all. It's a nutritious, readily available vegetable that's very versatile, after all. Ok, I need to stop raving about this. Focus on the entire meal.
For the two main meat dishes, we had a wonderful leg of lamb stuffed with bacon and sage -- the perfect winter dish -- and cornish hen roasted with whole garlic bulbs, shallots and grapes.
This recipe came from one of my favorite cookbooks, Great Food Fast, but most of the recipes are available online because they were featured on the PBS show, Everyday Food. I don't watch that show as much but love its simple and easy recipes. The hens were moist and juicy and the grapes imparted a great sweetness to the whole dish. Some of my guests simply took a whole roasted garlic bulb, scooped out the caramelized garlic and consumed them solo -- like morsels of garlic candy.
I made good use of the carcasses to make yummy broth with some veggies and ginger for aroma.
We also had a side dish of potato provencal with tomato and red onions but I didn't care much for this dish. It didn't toast easily on top despite spreading some butter on and it was on the bland side. I probably wouldn't make it again. I have a good potato gratin dish that's a bit less healthy but a lot more flavorful.
If you have a lot of strong-flavored dishes, like very spicy items, this potato dish may temper those flavors because it is mildly flavored.
It just wasn't anything special.
We also had a celery root puree as another starch that was good.
For dessert, YT made an amazingly good pear tart in a cast iron pan. The crust was perfectly crunchy and crumbly at the same time, much like puff pastry but less buttery than that.
All in all a successful dinner party. A big shoutout to our resident mixologist who made the best pomegranate margaritas, complete with salt-rimmed glasses and jewels of pomegranate seeds floating in the glasses.
YT and I used to make it a point to make the most elaborate things but now with a few dinner parties under our belts, we're veering toward simple, hassle-free cooking that is all about the flavor that leaves enough time to enjoy the company of our guests. Not that we hadn't done this before but you know what I mean.
We also used the Zuni Cafe cookbook for some of the recipes.
Happy eating!

Best of NY Part III: Squid Ink Paella at Midnight
Here is the third and last installment of NY eats that were most memorable.
1) Socarrat
One of my biggest gripes about L.A. was that it didn't have serviceable Spanish food. Then The Bazaar came along, except Jose Andres decided he wasn't going to serve paella, the classic Spanish rice dish that had so eluded me both in the kitchen (could never get it to cook evenly) and restaurants (yuk). So when I heard about this "paella bar" that specializes in this dish and also got an overwhelming endorsement from a fellow NY-based foodie, I had to try it -- even if it was after two bloody burgers and a good chunk of a divine porterhouse earlier in the day.
Entering this narrow joint with one long, communal table just before closing around midnight, I wasn't hungry but this paella tinted in black squid ink and topped with shrimp, almost raw slices of scallops, pieces of fish, squid, fava beans and slivers of piquillo peppers was a revelation. It came with an aioli that I used to dip the meaty shrimp and sometimes spoonfuls of rice. Socarrat refers to the crusty layer that forms at the bottom of the pan. In short, the best part of the paella. The leftovers tasted almost as good when heated from home hours later (our server urged us not to microwave the paella -- I dutifully complied). I still dream about this paella.

2) Russ & Daughters
This place is an institution, and conveniently located adjacent to Katz's, so I sampled its famed bagel and lox. The salmon was pretty darn perfect, but I wish I would have gotten a plain bagel as the one with everything on it was too salty for my taste. The saltiness of the salmon made it sodium overkill but besides this minor detail, what's not to like about a bagel with smoke salmon, cream cheese, tomatoes and red onions? Ok, I prefer warm bagels and this one wasn't. Not sure if that's the way I'm supposed to have it but I like them heated because otherwise the bagel felt too dense and not soft enough.

3) Kefi
This shrine to nouveau Greek cuisine helmed by chef Michael Psilakis is a bit hectic and cramped but the grilled octopus salad on top of beans was by far the best dish. The octopus was smoky and soft and complemented the almost pureed beans very well. It had a slight crunch from diced onions that also gave it a refreshing bite.

New York, NY 10024

4) Artichoke Pizza
Here was another 2 a.m. pizza run but imagine my surprise when I see a long line outside of a tiny storefront waiting at that hour, in the rain. Obviously, this joint has some serious fanatics. Everyone has their favorites but I liked the Margarita. Fortunately, it only serves four kinds of pizzas besides Margarita: Sicilian, which is the square one, artichoke, which is like a slightly fancier version of cream of mushroom soup on pizza dough (this doesn't mean I didn't like it) and finally, the odd crab pizza. This last one I didn't get but of the other three, Margarita had the best combination of thin crust, cheese and tomato. My partner in crime who stood in line and kept me company in freezing rain liked the Sicilian. The debate goes on...

New York, NY 10003

5) Ippudo
I'm always on the hunt for fantastic ramen, so had to try this NY outpost of a Japanese chain that got raves from NYT critics and message boards alike.
It was unfortunate that I had it as my first meal of the day, which, despite its soupy goodness, was on the heavy side, even for me. I mean, I usually live for that stuff -- milky broth full of porky flavor and robustness. I got the Shiromaru Hakata Classic with the works, slices of pork that deliciously dissolve in your mouth from lengthy cooking, green onions, bamboo shoots, egg, red pickled ginger slices and wood-eared mushrooms. I also tried the Akamura Modern, which had a stronger flavor that I didn't like as much. The base of the broth was the same but the strong flavors came from garlic oil and miso mixed in.
While it was a good bowl of ramen, I like the Hakata ramen at Shinsengumi here better.
65 4th Avenue
New York, NY 10003
(212) 388-0088
6) Il Laboratorio del Gelato
Now onto dessert: This gelato shop is so small, blink and you could miss it, but the green tea and hazelnut flavors were definitely worth stopping by.
I've always hated green tea ice-creams that look green but taste like anything but green tea -- you know, the watered down flavor. I could actually taste the green tea in this one. The hazelnut wasn't as good but equally deep in flavor.
95 Orchard Street
New York, NY 10002
(212) 343-9922
7) Donut Plant
I'm not one to crave anything too sweet for breakfast or in general, but one bite of the plain glazed yeast donut was one of the most comforting ways to start your day.
The donut was soft as I bit into it and the sugar on the glaze, yes, the sugar was plentiful, but nothing that a dunk in some strong coffee can't remedy.
I had the plainest kind to really see what this donut shop is made of, but it offers a huge array of wacky varieties.

And finally, there were two disappointments: Shake Shack, whose famed burger underwhelmed me, and Joe's Shanghai, which I should have known better not to go to. What was I thinking when I have Din Tai Fung right here at home?

SEO - Let's Get Quantitative and Demand Results
By Rob Kall President, Bookt LLC | January 27, 2012
Hardly a day goes by when I am not speaking to a hotelier or lodging manager about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This is a topic that has continued to become more and more important in most hotels' and vacation rentals' marketing mix. And that's no wonder, as properly done, SEO can very effectively increase any lodging organization's bottom line. But beyond catch phrases like: "drive tons of traffic" or "rank at the top of Google" and other hyperbole common in the sales process of SEO services, how is a successful SEO project run and how can you be sure you are getting the results you are paying for?
Can SEO Success be Measured?
Given the title of this article, the answer is obviously, yes. However, many times the evaluation and metrics produced from an SEO project do not really tell the stakeholders what they need to know: Is this working very well, ok or poorly? The reason is, often only certain metrics are measured and those items are not being evaluated in a full context. Below is an outline of metrics and other considerations that when taken together produce the context that allows you to truly evaluate whether or not your SEO project is successful.
Before You Start
Before starting a new project, it always makes sense to define some objectives. I think most of the time the objective is to drive more traffic to the property website, which is likely to lead to closed bookings. Ensuring you have top ranking for key phrases is important, but not the only strategy as we will discuss below.
Establishing Your Baseline
The Hotel Business Review articles are free to read on a weekly basis, but you must purchase a subscription to access
our library archives. We have more than 5000 best practice articles on hotel management and operations, so our

AppDomain Isolated WPF Add-Ins [Jesse Kaplan]
Earlier Jack announced an exciting new feature in our beta2 release in the ability host WPF controls across AppDomain boundaries. This will allow add-ins to generate their own UI and to pass it back for display within the hosts window. Ever since the add-in model was concieved this has been near the top of our list for feature requests and I want to thank the WPF team for scrambling to get this work done in time for the 3.5 release.
With that in mind I'd like to finally update our calculator samples to be just a bit more interesting. The attached sample requires Orcas Beta 2 and demonstrates a fairly typical add-in scenario in which an AppDomain isolated add-in generates some UI at the request of the host and the host displays directly as part of the application. If you take a look at the screenshot below the lower-right hand corner of the application is the piece that the add-in is generating. Everything else is generated by the host either on its own or using data from its various add-ins. In this sample only one section of the host actually displays the add-ins content but there is nothing limiting that in the product: a host can display multiple FrameworkElements from one or more add-ins anywhere it wishes.
When you download the application you should play around with the "Graphing Calculator" add-in. It really shows how smooth the integration between the AppDomains are in that the add-in doesn't need to mearly display a static image but can accept rich interaction directly from the user even when hosted cross domain.
We'll go into more depth later about this technology, some of the scenarios it enables, and some of the gotcha's you might run into, but for now I'd like to just get the sample into your hands and give you a brief taste of how easy it is to integrate this into your add-in application by comparing the differences between the pipelines of the old calculator and the new graphical add-ins.
First let's take a look at the views:
Numerical Calculator:
public abstract class Calculator
public abstract String Name
public abstract IList<Operation> Operations
public abstract double Operate(Operation op, double[] operands);
Graphic Calculator:
public abstract class VisualCalculator
public abstract String Name
public abstract IList<Operation> Operations
public abstract UIElement Operate(Operation op, double[] operands);
Only one line has changed, instead of returning a double the view simply returns the basic WPF control UIElement. The changes to the host view are just as simple.
Now let's look at the adapters as this is where the real magic happens. This time we'll just compare the pieces of code that have changed.
On the add-in side:
public double Operate(Calculator.Contracts.IOperationContract op, double[] operands)
return _view.Operate(OperationViewToContractAddInAdapter.ContractToViewAdapter(op), operands);
public INativeHandleContract Operate(Calculator.Contracts.IOperationContract op, double[] operands)
return VisualAdapters.ViewToContractAdapter(_view.Operate(OperationViewToContractAddInAdapter.ContractToViewAdapter(op), operands));
The only changes here is that instead of passing back the result directly across the boundary as a double we now pass it back across as an INativeHandleContract and use the new class VisualAdapters to convert from the UIElement the add-in passes back into the INativeHandleContract that gets passed across the boundary. System.AddIn.Pipeline.VisualAdapters is a new class in the new System.Windows.Presentation assembly that contains the core functionality that enables the cross-appdomain hosting; you'll see it's use again in the host side adapters to convert from the INativeHandleContract back into a WPF control.
public override double Operate(HostView.Operation op, double[] operands)
return _contract.Operate(OperationHostAdapters.ViewToContractAdapter(op), operands);
public override UIElement Operate(HostView.Operation op, double[] operands)
return VisualAdapters.ContractToViewAdapter(_contract.Operate(OperationHostAdapters.ViewToContractAdapter(op), operands));
Again, the only changes required were to change the return value to UIElement and to use our new helper class to convert from the contract back into a a new UIElement. This method actually returns an object of type FrameworkElement that lives in the hosts AppDomain and can be manipulated and plugged into the visual tree as any local FrameworkElement can.
That should be enough to get everyone started, as I said we'll be following up with more info and samples in the weeks to come. If you have any questions about this new capability please just let us know.
Note: The attached sample was built for a pre-RTM version of .NetFX 3.5 and will not work on the RTM build. For an updated sample please see our codeplex site here: https://www.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ProjectName=clraddins&ReleaseId=9454

often take two hands, one to hold down
your plant and one to pull off the algae.
You can also remove parts of the plants that
are heavily infested, but you don't want to
remove too much of the plants, as they are
the warriors in your battle. Good healthy
plants are a key to getting rid of algae.
desired water conditions. Adding CO
will also lower your pH and can be very
beneficial to the plants, but it does require
more tank care.
I like water changes as a next step. Most
aquarium authors encourage them. If you
have a problem with the buildup of excess
nutrients, water changes will help that.
Depending on the water you use, it should
also add some micro-nutrients to the tank.
There are some aquarists who believe this
maintenance technique should be kept to
a minimum in a low-tech tank for various
reasons. One school of thought is that
the water changes disrupt the chemical
composition of the water quickly, giving
the algae the advantage, since it adapts to
changes in the environment faster than
plants do.
Plants like to get used to one particular
environment and stay that way. Changes
mean their old leaves are no longer
optimal for their surroundings; the more
change, the more they need to drop old
leaves and grow new ones. When they do
so, they expend a lot more energy, and the
old leaves start decomposing and adding
to the problem.
But I still believe that regular water
changes in any tank are good. Twenty
years ago I was in the lesser-water-changes
crowd, but some friends convinced me
to try doing more water changes. I gave
it a try and now believe my fish and
plants have done better because of it—so
I have switched sides and now advocate
regular water changes. I think the benefits
outweigh the possible disadvantages. If you
do them regularly, they won't cause huge
swings in your tank.
Speaking of water, what's yours like? In
her book Ecology of the Planted Aquarium
(Echinodorus Publishing, 2003), Diana
Walstad indicates that algae have the
advantage in water that has a high pH. If
you have naturally soft water out of the
tap, that's a great advantage for you. For
those of us with water like liquid rock,
there are other options. First you can
purchase or filter your own water. RO
water is often used in planted aquariums.
Usually it is mixed with tap or several
additives are mixed with it to achieve the
Another option—something that I do
in the majority of my tanks—is to just
grow plants that prefer the rock-like water.
Many plants will do well in this type of
water, including val, hornwort, swords,
and mosses.
Regardless of what type of water you
have, it's always a good idea to research
your plants. I can't tell you how many times
people will tell me of their plant-growing
woes and then send me a photo of a dying
house plant in an aquarium. Many emergent
and even terrestrial plants are falsely sold
as aquarium plants. Be sure to research
your plants and fish before purchase, or be
prepared to spend money on things that
just won't work. You need to have healthy
aquatic plants to compete with your algae.
Hair algae naturally growing in a shallow stream; anything introduced into a tank from another
aquarium or a natural body of water may carry algae along with it.
