Includes tying instructions. I'm buying tons of scarves this season -- they're cheap and can liven up a plain sweater that you've had for ages. - Ginger Makela Riker from Bookmarklet

Sam Chang’s Budget Hotel Empire in New York City - NYTimes.com
"SAM CHANG, the hotel king of New York, surveyed a portion of his domain from West 39th Street, a gritty block south of the Port Authority, from where he can see not one, not two, but a half-dozen of his hotel sites on a single block. “They ought to name this block for me,” he said." - Ginger Makela Riker from Bookmarklet

This is a new Indian restaurant in Mountain View California. We had dinner there last nite and the food was very very good. I thought it was better than Amber and chicken dum biryani was delicious. We had the calamari appetizer which was a great take on chaat calamari. Amber and Junoon now have serious competition :) - Bindu Reddy from Likaholix
Great review - I always love trying good new Indian restaurants!! - Jennie Lin
Had lunch there just this week. $12/person for buffet - good deal for a place like this! ;) - Ming Tsai
it's great, one of the best new restaurants in the area this year. try the coconut rice! - David Vasileff

A Textbook Example of What’s Wrong with Education | Edutopia
"Mainly, they know how to censor themselves. Once, I remember, an editorial group was discussing literary selections to include in a reading anthology. We were about to agree on one selection when someone mentioned that the author of this piece had drawn a protest at a Texas adoption because he had allegedly belonged to an organization called One World Council, rumored to be a "Communist front." At that moment, someone pointed out another story that fit our criteria. Without further conversation, we chose that one and moved on. Only in retrospect did I realize we had censored the first story based on rumors of allegations. Our unspoken thinking seemed to be, If even the most unlikely taint existed, the Gablers would find it, so why take a chance? Self-censorship like this goes unreported because we the censors hardly notice ourselves doing it. In that room, none of us said no to any story. We just converged around a different story. The dangerous author, incidentally, was celebrated best-selling science fiction writer Isaac Asimov." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet
Very dangerous territory indeed. - Martha
I believe open-source is the right way to go with textbooks. The current system is guaranteed to produce bland, mediocre, and uninspiring products, much like the schools themselves. - Paul Buchheit

'Sit! Stay! Snuggle!': An Iraq Vet Finds His Dog Tuesday - WSJ.com
"Luis Carlos Montalvan got up from a chair in his small Brooklyn apartment and walked to the kitchen. Tuesday followed close behind, eyes fixed on a white cabinet. The retriever sat alertly as Mr. Montalvan, an Iraq war veteran with severe post-traumatic stress disorder, reached for a vial of pills, lined a half-dozen on the table and took them one by one. The dog had gotten what he wanted: When the last pill was swallowed, he got up and followed his master out of the kitchen, tail wagging. Tuesday is a so-called psychiatric-service dog, a new generation of animals trained to help people whose suffering is not physical, but emotional. They are, effectively, Seeing Eye dogs for the mind." - Jim Norris from Bookmarklet
I really like that they did the classic WSJ black and white head shot drawing of the dog. - Shannon Bauman

1) It's more about money than sex 2) NY has never looked so alluring. 3) Shot on RED, it's visually stunning. Photographer husband says "tonal ranges are amazing". 4) Say what you will about Mark Cuban, but I love watching movies at home before they're out in theaters. - Ginger Makela Riker from Bookmarklet
Great to hear your review. As a native NYCer, I've been intrigued by the movie... - Jennie Lin
Is this what Breakfast at Tiffany's would have been had that kind of story been allowed to be told in the 50's? - Matthew DeVries
Matthew, interesting connection. I had to go read the plot of Breakfast at Tiffany's because I couldn't remember it. Now that you mention it, Sasha Grey looks like an updated version of Holly Golightly in her black Michael Kors dress. - Ginger Makela Riker
"3) Shot on RED, it's visually stunning. Photographer husband says 'tonal ranges are amazing'" There. That convinced me. Gonna try to see it over the weekend. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Tim Duncan Begins Summer Job At Apple Genius Bar | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
"SAN ANTONIO—Spurs center Tim Duncan returned to his summer job at the Apple Store Genius Bar Monday, where he provided technical support during his eight-hour shift by diagnosing problems, troubleshooting software issues, and repairing people's computers, iPhones, and iPods. "I can't stress to our customers enough that they really need to make multiple backups of their data," said Duncan, who has worked at the San Pedro Avenue location for the past three summers. "A lot of times we can retrieve files from a crashed hard drive, but you shouldn't rely on that. Also, you can increase the battery life of your laptop if you shut it down when you're transporting it from one place to another." Duncan has also offered to take a shift for fellow Apple Genius David Atwood on Saturday, saying it would be a shame for his coworker to miss Game 3 of the Nuggets-Mavericks Western Conference Semifinals." - Roshan Vyas from Bookmarklet

"I cannot stop clicking through Sushyue Liao's incredible collection of photographs. Of course his images of birds are a top favorite of mine, but Sushyue also takes other beutiful photos of the world around him (don't miss reading the sweet comments he writes under each of his photos... they just warm my heart to no end). His work is perfectly suited for Eearth Day, don't you think?" - edythe from Bookmarklet
