Los Almendros: Oaxaca Restaurant Review

Alvin Starkman  M. A. , LL. B. Middle class residents of major American and Canadian cities tend to have their favorite all-day Sunday brunch haunts?relaxed, clean, diner-style restaurants dishing up home cooking in a comfortable familiar environment.   Six days a week from 1 to 6 pm Los Almendros serves such a function for local Oaxacans.    Tucked away on a cobblestone privada close to Blvd. Manuel Ruiz in Colonia Reforma, a few blocks northeast of the baseball stadium, Lionel Leyva with wife Soledad and family have been greeting friends and new devotees since 1974.   You can?t help but feel at home in this Cheers-esque setting as you watch Lionel greet his own set of Frazier Cranes .   Upon entering the quadrangle-shaped comedor you?re struck by its warmth and amiability, without a trace of pretension.  Wooden tables with traditional colorful woven cloths are covered with thick plastic.  Walls are adorned with framed photos of the owners with family and patrons of celebrity?no politicians, but rather actors, singers and songwriters.   Two mounted deer busts serve as testimony that the Leyvas do things their way, and the throngs of faithful as evidence of approval.   The menu is limited to perhaps 15 or 20 authentic Oaxacan plates, some of which are appetizers.   You can choose daily specials not often found in other local eateries.   All is á la carte, so begin with one or two of the modestly priced botanas, perhaps memelas or an appetizer sized grilled meat dish, each of which is accompanied by salsa and guacamole.   The house mezcal is noteworthy and definitely worth sampling if nothing else.   For this visit Lionel had a tobalá and a surprisingly smooth gusano.   Although we arrived relatively early for this comida, by the time we were ready to order entrées, surprisingly the Sunday staple of Barbacoa de Borrego (bbq goat) had been sold out to patrons who knew better than we did to order ahead or for take-out.   All was not lost, however, since my wife?s main dish of tender pork ribs was prepared in the same style as one of the traditional barbeque recipes, baked in a tangy sauce and enveloped in foil.   Try the black beans with aromatic flavor of hierba de conejo as a side dish to any of the grilled or baked meats.  I began with a generous, piping hot serving of absolutely spectacular caldo de espinazo with an assortment of carrots, beans, potatoes and requisite pork, flavored with chili pasillo and accompanied by a dish of sliced lime, chopped onion and serrano chili for added acidity, spice and texture.   That, after appetizers and some of the better tortillas I?ve had in a while should have been enough, but the tongue in its traditional mole called out to me.   With whole black and green olives, and a tomato based sauce flavored with onion, garlic, raisin and almond, this bowl of lean, succulent sliced meat ranked with the best.   To complete the meal, if you haven?t had cajeta, the goat?s milk caramelized sweet, try it here in a light gelatin, alongside a cup of café de olla.     Just as the regulars returned to that immortalized Boston bistro every week, you too will be drawn back to Los Almendros time and again, if not on a subsequent visit during this trip to Oaxaca, then upon your return? and greeted just as warmly as the old gang.     Notes:   Comida only, 1 ? 6 pm              Closed Thursdays              Beer, spirits and liqueurs              Full meal incl beverage  70 ? 90 pesos   Comedor Familiar Los Almendros 3ra Privada de Almendros #109, Col. Reforma, Oaxaca  tel: 515-2863|

Plagued by Multiple-debts—see the Light at the End of the Tunnel

As the financial woes of the Britons increase, the role and significance of these financial mechanisms has increased manifold of late; especially the people of the older generation, who might get worried about their ability to save for the uncertain future, given the mounting bills in the present, can avail a single utility loan for debt consolidation. This type of planning helps them in saving themselves from falling into the red zone of financial turbulence. It can be of immense help to them because the aged persons are able to repay their high interest rates liabilities in a shorter period. This in return brings down the total outstanding dues over a longer period of time. In this manner, they can put aside each month for future purposes. In fact going for a loan for the purpose of debt consolidation is drawing the attention of a number of people. Finance service provider Abbey has recently published a figure according to which about 41 percent of the consumers going for money management prefer paying off bills at the top of their priority. While about ten percent felt that saving enough money for future is their biggest concern in life. Under such conditions debt consolidation loans are the best means to bridge the gap between the turbulent present and a secure and tension-free future. For the individuals looking for debt help, and also those looking for ways to make their monthly repayment plans more feasible, debt consolidation plans are suitable means to emerge out of the economic mess and thus regain the socio-economic dignity. But before going for such schemes one must consider the total size of the debts. Online facilitators are always in a better position to tell you if an Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA) or any other type of debt solution will be of any help to you. For those reeling under the pressures of multiple instalments born of many pending debts, <a onClick=”javascript:pageTracker. _trackPageview(’/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www. longdogfinance. co. uk/debt-consolidation-loans. html”>debt consolidation loans</a> might be the best solution which can virtually tilt the cart in their favour. The monster of multiple debts is defeated once and for all. In its place you find an economically manageable opponent which can be practically and logically defeated. There are many financial institutions in the loan market who provide both the secured and unsecured types of plans to serve the purposes of their clients. Secured types of debt consolidation borrowings require a piece of property to be put as a collateral. These are relatively easier to avail and come at a lower rate of interest and convent repayment plan. The piece of collateral is the thing which draws the card in its favour. Unsecured types of loans are those means of credit which are made available to the borrowers without the requirements of any piece of collateral. It very easily turns the table in your favour by replacing the high interest rates loans by a low interest debt consolidation loan.

Nice Experience at Retail Stores

NICE EXPERIENCE AT RETAIL STORES Birth of Retail Industry       We all know what is fashion is all about . Basically fashion symbolizes attitude or nature of the person. Fashion is changing with a speed of light. All fashion conscious people wants change in there wardrobe with the same speed. Some fashion lovers are regular shoppers and they frequently visit different fashion destinations. There are number of reasons which contribute jointly to enhance retail culture in India like rise in young population, handsome salary packages, nuclear families and increase in working female population all these factors will enhance the shopping capacity of normal public too. Another feather in the retail cap in India is allowing 51% Foreign Direct Investment in single brand outlet. Nobody is interested to do shopping from conventional markets due to limited variety, stale stock and heavy price tags at the same time supermarkets have wide range of products like apparels and accessories, cosmetics and toiletries, bag and baggage, grocery, travel and leisure under one roof and public enjoys low cost quality goods with very little chances of duplicity, no problem of bargaining and most important in crowded metro city retail stores are having good parking place. But at the same time different small local kirana shop?s will assume these retail stores will end there earnings, more impact of foreign companies and they will end community shopping but I think this is absolutely wrong perception because in India retail is the largest source of employment after agriculture there are nearly 12 million retail outlets in India and this will score India as a highest retail store density and retail stores and malls are still confine to big cities where as in small towns there are only kirana shops so even kirana shop merchant?s can able to purchase material at low price from retail shops and then sale them in small towns and earn profit. Some retailers also traps Indian thinking and develop discount stores in order to attract bargain loving Indian public and some are offering extra discounts and mega sale during festive season like Diwali, Id, and Raksha-Bhandan etc.          Now days all type of public with no difference of caste, creed and income levels moves towards retail stores. In India retail industry is growing like anything, that?s why          some foreign retail companies are already sharing Indian retail market revenue like Nautica US lifestyle opened the store in Pune, Tata and Woolworth tie up opened stores in Mumbai and Malad ,Walt Disney had ties up with Devyani International Ltd,Dubai based Damas Jewelry and Flemeningo International?s Indian division are interested to start  duty-free shops in the country, for selling products like jewelry and watches and few big retail giants like Wal-Mart tie up with Bharti are also interested to spreading there roots in Indian markets for seeking higher profit returns, France?s Auchas $50 million dollar chain of grocery and consumer durables are keen to open stores in India, HAS (Hayel Saeed Anam Group) a Yemen based company are planning to come to Indian market with a tie up plan with Reliance.      Demand for New Innovative Technology         We all are convinced by all above facts but there are still some problems in retail stores. Firstly lots of time are wasted in billing even in festive season and in weekdays shopping time are much less than billing time and secondly problematic to choose right size of outfits and matching accessories. Although visual merchandizing of stores are too good, convenient and entire range of products are visible to customers for there choice . Some of the retail companies like Pantaloon Retail India limited (PRIL) are using various types of software for e. g. JDA® Software for store planning and visual merchandizing, but main problem is trailing different sizes, colors and patterns of outfits standing in a long queue outside the trail rooms. Even this type of waiting is much more painful with small kids because they get irritated even after one or two trials. Choosing a proper fitted birthday dress for children of age group of 4 ? 8 years is more like a war with no weapons. Sometimes trailing white garment is normally not allowed in maximum retail stores this seems that purchasing white garment suppose to be a crime and another confusion arises when we bring five or six dresses in the trail room it is difficult to remember how we look in each dress. To overcome above problems sometimes retailers design one model according to this customer is allow to trail only three garments and they can spend average 10-20 min in the trail rooms still it is really very dissatisfied to trail only limited number of garments and still there partners that are there parents, friends or relatives in crime also wait near the never ending queue outside the trail room to offer their opinion.        Billing is Problematic         In retail stores there are number of billing counters still billing is so much time consuming only reason behind this are Bar Code Readers only gadget used for billing in almost every retail store in India. No doubt Bar Code Readers reduce the time spend for billing and increase the accuracy. Like one of the common problem which we all face at billing counters is suppose in case of missing tags gentleman at the billing counter abruptly stopped billing and rushed 2 floors above or below the billing counter to get another product and used its tag to determine the price, this is not the end there are still other: Problems in the Bar Code Readers Single item scanning at one timeKept the item at line of sight. Wear and tear in the bar code strip. More human involvement. Much more time consuming       Birth of Wireless Gadget ? RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device)      As entire globe is busy in innovations and inventions so why not retail industry. RFID is one of the outputs of the innovations in retail industry. There are number of software companies who are developing different types of RFID applications specifically for retail industries for e. g. WIPRO solutions develop WIPRO retail only to fulfill retail customer demand, Origin products contains huge list of only retail products like RFID tags , POS reader and handheld readers etc. It is basically a small chip somewhat similar to chips used in our mobile phone. This is consisting of a tag, transponder, and power source. Tag emits short frequency radio ways which is the part of the light spectrum and it is received by the transponder and information written on the tag wirelessly transferred to the system connected amount of data stored in the tag vary in different types of tags some can store upto 2 KB on the other hand some low cost disposable tag can able to store only 96 bits. Some tags are small like rice grain ad enclosed in glass covering and some are big like a credit card and embedded by plastic covering. Some can be reused and others are disposed of after use.          Tags are of different types according to type of frequency utilized by the tag . There are three types of tags like LF(Low Frequency),HF(High Frequency) and UHF(Ultra High Frequency) and distance of data transmission is like just 1 foot for LF tags , read less than 3 feet in HF and more than 3 feet for UHF Tags.   Power is utilized by the power-source present with the tag. According to orientation of power source there are two types of tags active and passive. Passive tags are supplied with external battery no such battery is present in active tags. Active tags have long read range as compare to passive tags because they have own power source but some times due to there higher cost constraint they are ignored by various retailers.         Choice of type of tag used is depend upon number of reasons which is taken under consideration by the firm. Type of the product is also one of the reasons for selecting type specific type of the tag for e. g. liquid and metal both show repelled behavior for RF(Radio Frequency) so for the liquid like shampoos etc normally passive tags are used and as metal reflect RF so tag is placed small place apart from the commodity . Source: www. traze. in/images_default2/about_rfid_img1. gif Advantages of RFID over Bar Code Readers RFID is automatically reduces all the problems of Bar Code Readers and increase the accuracy and reduces the time spend for billing. There are lots of advantages of RFID over Bar Code Readers like some of them are: No line of sight is required. Group of items are scanned at one time. No wear and tear in the chip. RFID technology calculates the total price of the commodity in the cart automatically and this will speed up billing hence checkout process and eradicate problems in the billing register and increase overall customer satisfaction level. RFID is not only used in billing it is very much useful in inventory management and unauthorized movement because misplaced items and out of the stock are main problems in the inventories these can be solved by mounting RFID chips in the shelves so automatically if item is misplaced or below reorder level automatically buzzer will alarm the store personnel?s and  gate antennas reads all the items at the exit door and if the item is not properly billed in that case automatically alarm raises and we can control theft by employees , customers etc. WOMEN SAY NO TO SHOPPING ? Mall Voyeurism        Three walled Changing roomSource: http://www. gabriellogan. com/fitting-rooms Even trailing is like a nightmare for young girls, female staff and women?s also there are number of news related with trial room voyeurism in different malls. This mall voyeurism is most disagreeable in women sopping experience. Above picture proves the fact that these type of three walled changing room is so much risky for female customers as they are open from the top anybody can easily peeped in. Even by all efforts if we have chosen correct size outfit again a long queue at billing counter . All these problems can be eradicated by some magic don?t you think and that is one and only one RFID (Radio Frequency identification device) a wireless magician. So now in coming future after using RFID at billing counters time spend  for billing reduced manifolds. NO MORE Trialing           Huge crowd standing outside the trial rooms so again requirement of some jadoo for retail stores is just like jadoo of Koi Mil Gaya i. e. Magicmirror as name suggest something similar to magical mirror of  fairy tales Magicmirror is a virtual mirror virtually means it seems even though it is not there. Magicmirror enables us to see you wearing particular picked up outfits without even putting off the outfit. Magicmirror is a RFID enabled mirror present in trail rooms of retail stores in coming future. When customer brings the garment inside the trial room it digital display automatically displays description of the garment, other available sizes and colors and also suggest matching accessories. There is an another option if there is some problem with the size so customer is able to send the request from the mirror only and message directly transferred to the PDA (Portable Digital Assistant) of store employees and then they provide personnel assistance to the customer, this will create personalized environment for the individual customer and enhance customer?s faith for the retail store which will create strong and loyal relationship with the firm. This magicmirror will bring end to the long queue outside the trail rooms and also stops incidents of trail-room voyeurism. Magicmirror also helps in inventory management and tracking items entering and leaving trial rooms . This entire setup of magicmirror in dressing room will cost around ($ 19. 450).        Magicmirror brings revolution in retail industry           Women in Magicmirror                        Man Trailing shirt in Magicmirror          Source: rfidjournal. com/article/articleview             Source: http://www. forbes. com                   Source:  http://www. forbes. com                                                                         GOOD BYE and Have a Nice Shopping        So RFID is main technology gadget may be used in coming future in order to reduce all the problems of retail stores . Though there are number of disadvantages of  RFID also that is cost , over dependency on technology but still advantages overpower the disadvantages. So we all expect unlimited growth of not only Indian Retail Industry but entire world retail industry will grow by proper and planned investment in information technology.

Automatic Pool Covers From Technology Pools

A pool cover can be physically, semi-automatically, or mechanically operated. Manual covers can be folded and stored in a convenient location. Pool cover reels can also be used to help manually roll up the pool cover. The reel, usually on wheels, can be rolled out of the way. Semi-automatic covers use a motor-driven reel system. They use electrical power to roll and unroll the cover, but usually require someone to pull on the cover when unrolling, or guide the cover onto the reel when rolling up the cover. Semi-automatic covers can be built into the pool deck surrounding the pool, or can use reels on carts. Automatic covers have permanently mounted reels that automatically cover and uncover the pool at the push of a button. They are the most expensive option, but are also the most convenient. Some pool covers fit into tracks along the sides of the pool. This prevents anything or anybody from getting into the pool. They even support the weight of several people. They can be run manually, semi-automatically, or automatically. Safety covers may be required by inspectors for public pools. Pool covers the convenience of covering your pool using a handheld remote control. Within minutes, your pool will be safely covered to prevent kids or pets falling in and at the same time conserve energy. Technology Pools can engineer an automatic swimming pool cover for a new pool project or retrofit an existing facility. That will give you the ability to reduce your energy consumption and also act as a safety feature.

Thermos Gas Grill: Key Things to Know Before Buying

Made usually form stainless steel, a Thermos Gas Grill is a grilling unit that comes with a console on the front for access and burner on the side for more efficient burning. These grills are moderately priced and are excellent for indoor and outdoor grilling applications. Standard Thermos Gas Grill Most of these thermos gas grills are made from stainless steel and the design varies form brand to brand. Many of these grills come with four burners. The smaller versions come with two burners. The total burning power is 40,000/20,000 BTU for these versions and the burners are usually independently controlled. Many models also come with a side burner of a 12,000 BTU. They are a boon for indoor kitchens. The side burner however, cannot be used simultaneously with the main burners since it locks itself when the main burners are working. This is a safety feature and cannot be overridden. Maintenance A thermos gas grill can be a good addition to your kitchen or backyard, especially so, if you play the host frequently. Most models are easy to maintain and would remain shiny and intact even after years of use. Maintaining these burners is very easy and the primary function of maintenance here is to keep the grill and the burners clean. Wiping the exteriors of your thermos gas grill can go a long way in keeping the shine intact. The grill should be kept covered when not in use so that it is not exposed to other weather elements.

Measurements And Standard Features A standard thermos gas grill measures about 30 inches (width) by 25 inches (deep) and is around 2. 5 to 3 feet tall. Many models come with magnetic doors which hide the propane tank. The propane tank is of 20 pound capacity but can vary depending on the brand. No trays will be required but some models do come with trays to store accessories. The cooking surfaces are normally porcelain coated to facilitate good heat transfer. The grill is normally made out of cast iron for the same purpose. The standard thermos gas grill is normally mounted on a cart with wheels and can be moved around a fair bit. Most models come with handles to facilitate this movement. Many models of thermos gas grills come fitted with utensil hooks. These hooks give you the advantage of hanging your utensils instead of running around and fetching whenever required. The console cabinet also consists of a shelf where one can store the required tools. Many models of thermos gas grills also have side shelves providing space to store marinades, plates or whatever is required depending on what you are grilling. A standard thermos gas grill comes with controls on the front console making for easy access and visibility.

Sheer Drapes – the Easiest Way to Add Magic to Your Rooms

About a year back, I was in the renovation mode. We had been living in the same home for the last 15 years and we had repainted and re-done some of the rooms, as and when we felt the need. The end result was a patchwork house. So, with mounting excitement I watched the old plaster coming off, curtains being pulled out and old furniture being carted away. We had decided to combine the sitting room and an adjacent nursery so that the renovated sitting room looked spacious and big. We wanted this room to be best room of the house because this was where we spent a good part of our evenings, reading, playing with the dogs and watching TV. I was delighted when the room was ready for its first coat of paint. It looked BIG – cool and spacious. We had already designed the furniture and had found the perfect place for the sound system and the home theatre. Soon, it was time to choose the window treatment. Here, I got stuck. For a long time, I had my heart set on blinds. They seemed just the right choice for the minimalist look I was aiming at. But, there was a small problem. The renovated sitting room opened out into portico. There were double French doors and we needed a solution that would give us free access to the portico without having to pull or roll. Blinds were out. But, I still wanted something that did not take up much space while creating an illusion of airiness and openness. That’s when I discovered sheer drapes! Sheer drapes are lightweight, almost see-through fabric that you can hang over windows. They are excellent for the sitting rooms and parlors where you need lots of natural light. Sheers have a translucency that is almost magical and they are so light that they practically swish in the light breeze all the time, making the room look cheerful and airy. I chose light sheer drapes and combined them with heavy window drapes. The light color added to the illusion of a large open space, and the self print on the sheers gave these drapes a very rich and luxuriant look. Since the single layered sheer drapes we used were quite translucent, privacy was a problem particularly in the night when the lights went on inside the house. Hence the idea of double drapes. The double curtains did take up some extra space but we could achieve two totally different looks in the morning and evening, without compromising on privacy or beauty. Sheer drapes fall in straight, soft lines. They allow the light in nicely while giving you a small amount of privacy. The simple beauty and classy elegance of sheer drapes impart a delicate look to the entire room. Their subtle designs and soft texture enhance the beauty of your window design. And they allow the room to reflect the changing moods of the day, which is what I love most about them.

Kitchen Storage Tips for the Apartment Dweller

Living in an apartment can be an experiment in efficiency and organization, since many apartment dwellers have almost as many belongings as those who live in houses but have significantly less space in which to store it all. This is often most evident in the kitchen, which tends to be one of the smaller parts of the apartment in order to give more room to the living room and bedrooms. Many landlords will also limit the amount of customization that you can do to the apartment itself, meaning that you are not likely to get new cabinets in place any time soon. This does not mean that you are without options for kitchen storage, of course; the more efficient your use of kitchen storage is, the more use you will be able to get out of the kitchen as a whole. Here are some tips to help you find the kitchen storage space that you need without the ability to make drastic changes to the kitchen or the apartment. Keep in mind that while the terms of your lease may limit what you can do in regards to the walls and cabinets, stand-alone storage solutions fall under the category of furniture and may be freely used in almost all apartment situations. Pegboards and Wall StorageThough you may not be able to make major changes to the kitchen of your apartment, most landlords are not opposed to a few nails and screws being put into the walls. Use this to your advantage to create wall storage solutions for a number of your cooking utensils that you are likely to use often. Place a pegboard on the wall to keep from having to use multiple nails, with only two to four nails holding the entire board in place. Once you have it mounted you can add numerous pegs that can hold measuring spoons, spatulas, and any other small items that you are likely to use often. Not only will this make them accessible but it will also free up room in your drawers and cabinets for other items. Store Dishes in another RoomA number of decorative furniture pieces are designed to hold dish settings. Take advantage of items such as these and get some or all of your dishes out of your kitchen cabinets. If you have a separate dining area then you should have the majority of your plates and silverware located there; even if you do not there is no reason that you cannot have a decorative hutch or dish display case along the living room wall that is closest to the kitchen. This can be especially beneficial if you have a nice set of dishes that you would not mind showing off, since you will be freeing up room in your kitchen while also beautifying another room in a unique way. If Cabinet Space Is Lacking, Supply Your OwnWhile you most likely will not be able to actually add new cabinets to your apartment?s kitchen, making use of multi-drawer plastic storage containers can be the next best thing. Depending on the size of the container you can place them either in the floor or near the corner of a counter, giving you quite a bit of storage space in what would otherwise have been open air. Microwave carts can be employed in much the same way, letting you use the shelving underneath for storage while also giving you a solid surface on which to place your microwave or another small appliance. The creative use of containers such as these can also let you extend your kitchen area slightly if you place the drawers or storage containers on just the other side of the kitchen door in a much more open room; the contents of the container will still be easily accessible while you are cooking but will not be in the way like it would if you tried to make it fit in the much smaller kitchen area. Organize with ContainersIn addition to larger storage containers which can be used to add cabinet-like spaces to your kitchen, smaller containers can be used to make more efficient use of the cabinet space that you already have. Buy square plastic containers that are clear in order to fill much more of your cabinets than you would normally be able to, and do not be afraid to stack containers on top of each other if you have the room. Empty bulky packages of cereal, flour, and other kitchen supplies into airtight containers to not only make storage easier but to keep the contents fresh for longer as well. Use bins and boxes underneath the kitchen sink to help keep cleaning supplies organized with the added benefit of being able to pull them all out at once should you need them for major apartment cleaning.
