Jemande is a male name given in the Garifuna island of St.Vincent. A rough translation of it is to learn something new every day: the concept of Jemande personifies general knowledge.

the lost finale was not entirely satisfying though to be honest i dont know which direction they could have taken it that would have been. but im not getting paid to write. complaints are free should you require some. linked above is laura miller's take that i generally agree with. here is time's james poniewozik piece along w/links to many others. still waiting on doc jensen's from entertainment weekly. any thoughts, feelings or otherwise?
This might be big someday.

Food is funny....Taught last class of the year at Cooper yesterday, where upon I entertained my highly evolved Pavlovian desire to retire to (admittedly most of the time nightmare) know as McSorleys Ale house. Simple fact is that when not populated by too many idiotic frat yahoos, I can satisfy post teaching burn-out craving for their profoundly mediocre hamburger and damp fries but also amazing crazy hot chinese-anglo mustard...w/two of thoses light beers? I dont get it but...happy,yes....
Go......or not....

User review: HTC Incredible vs. Nexus One. If this guy is right it's a shame HTC screwed up the UI on the Incredible. My experience with AT&T hasn't been as bad as some people's, but I'd still love to be on Verizon.

Next from Grant Achatz.
Next Restaurant will serve four menus per year from great moments in culinary history – or the future. Our team of chefs will investigate, test, refine, and present authentic menu interpretations from cultures, places and times. Depending on the cuisine, meals will be 5 to 6 courses and will include food, beverage pairings, and service....

A meal at Next will represent a great value. Depending on the menu AND what day and time you are dining, food will be $40 to $75 for the entire prix fixe menu. Wine and beverage pairings will begin at a $25 supplement. Next’s goal is to serve 4-star food at 3-star prices....

Instead of reservations our bookings will be made more like a theater or a sporting event. Your tickets will be fully inclusive of all charges, including service. Ticket price will depend on which seating you buy – Saturday at 8 PM will be more expensive than Wednesday at 9:30 PM. This will allow us to offer an amazing experience at a very reasonable price. We will also offer an annual subscription to all four menus at a discount with preferred seating.
Sushi UO is grand cru....
We asked for $100 in food, so $180 tax & tip w/ beers....
Lots of food, all great, not too much food but deff full belly of mostly raw food, the cooked dishes were super too (soup of japanese spinish and a stuffed lightly cooked squid rocked)....
