If anyone goes to Oaxaca i have a locals' restaurant list (only 33% are in the guide-book we have)......with our Kid Crew we cant get to them all but here are some he listed...

Teatro Culinario: Molecular gastronomy Oaxaca style. Prob one of the best culinary experiences in my life. No menu's must have reservation.

Itanoni: Owned by an agronomist recognized by Slow Foods for his passionate work presenting tastings of select un-hybridized corn and veggies from diverse regions.

Yu Ne Nisa: Isthmus region cooking, try gugheguina, armadilo soup and iguana tamales.

I hear Mexican foodies come to eat in Oaxaca from all over Mexico....
what the what? there is no celebrity too small for some products.

Alex, I'll take unprecedented administrative incompetence or orchestrated mendacity for a thousand.
I'm liking this era of the uppity scientist.

Cutting the cord” with a utility bill usually means eliminating your landline phone service and using your wireless phone only. But we’re quickly approaching the day when you can cut the cord from your pay-TV service–usually cable or satellite–and watch much of the same content online.

“There are a lot of younger, tech-savvy people who have gone off the TV grid,” said David Carnoy, executive editor of tech Web site Cnet.com.

Regularly watching Internet TV is still more for the tech-savvy than mainstream America, experts say. But the amount of content and the number of ways to play that content on traditional televisions, not just computers, is rapidly expanding.
Considering a BlueStar range. Seems like just about the most intense cooking instrument one can get in a 30" stove.

Jonah's right, we don't want to get ahead of the facts. There's the Fort Dix Six precedent, but there's also Oklahoma City, where people guessed reasonably but guessed wrong.

rip ornithologist wm belton (95)

Once upon a time, every tweet had an actual bird attached. If that bird happened to live in southern Brazil, a region whose rich avian life was long undocumented, chances are good that it was stalked repeatedly — and its tweets, coos and whistles recorded patiently — by William Belton.

Mad About Mad Men

For more than 10 years, the intricate, multiseason narrative TV drama has exercised a dominant cultural sway over well-educated, well-off adults. Just as urbanish professionals in the 1950s could be counted on to collectively coo and argue over the latest Salinger short story, so that set in the 2000s has been most intellectually, emotionally, and aesthetically engaged not by fiction, the theater, or the cinema but by The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Deadwood, The Shield, Big Love.

After watching videos of The Sopranos 13-hour first season, the film critic Vincent Canby discerned that this new genre—owing to its “cohesive dramatic arc,” the quality of its production values and ensemble performances, and the sophistication of its writing—amounted to a “megamovie” rather than merely a tarted-up TV miniseries. And he bestowed on it a fairly exalted pedigree, tracing it not just to Dennis Potter’s English production The Singing Detective (1986) and Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) but even to Erich von Stroheim’s lost silent masterpiece, the nine-and-a-half-hour Greed (1924).
With his first book, titled "Momofuku," Mr. Chang will take his message to a wider audience. The 303-page book, coming out Oct. 27 and priced at $40, aims to replicate Mr. Chang's natural voice, which means occasional use of the word "like" to punctuate Mr. Chang's thoughts, and liberal use of profanity. Readers are instructed not to "f— it up" when handling a pricey piece of foie gras, for instance. Some of the recipes are likely to be daunting to home cooks—such as one that requires boiling a pig's head ("if there are any hairy patches, dispense with them" with a blowtorch, the recipe directs).
guess that power necklace let you down, joba. not that im watching.
