The Umpire Strikes back return of the Yellow Menace!
The yard was overrun with yellow jackets. I went on a clearing mission and was victorious. Will it be pyrrhic? Maybe!
Windows 7 install .net 1.1
This is essentially a repost from this website . .Net 1.1 will not install on Windows 7 without service pack 1. Microsoft does not provide .Net 1.1 with SP1 prepackaged. Attempting to install .net 1.1 without sp1 on Windows 7 will yield this error.
To combine .Net 1.1 and SP1 into an installable bundle (slipstream) follow these steps or at the end of this post you can get the bundled product with the link provided.
Follow these steps:
1. Create a new folder named DotNet in C:\ drive. (The path i used was C:\DotNet )
2. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package
(dotnetfx.exe). Make
sure the setup file is saved as dotnetfx.exe.
3. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-
X86.exe). Rename the file to dotnetfxsp1.exe.
4. Copy both installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet),.
5. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
6. Change to the directory where the two installation files are stored, ie C:\DotNet.
7. Run the following commands one by one.
c:\FolderYouPutTheFilesIn\dotnetfx.exe /c:”msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet”
You will see this. 
Click Yes and wait for Completion.
Run this command
c:\FolderYouPutTheFilesIn\dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
then…
msiexec.exe /a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
A dialog box will appear and the installer will disappear automatically.
8. Install Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 with slipstreamed Service Pack 1 by running netfx.msi from the working folder.
Or you can forget all that shit and download the bundled (slipstreamed) package here.

Cafe Felix Ann Arbor Michigan

Traveled back to my old stomping grounds over Thanksgiving and decided to take the family out for brunch. I had intended on eating at the Gandy Dancer alas they are closed for lunch on Saturdays. You can never go wrong with the Gandy and hope to submit a review one day. Traveling on Main Street the very same Bob Seger would reminisce about a sign caught our eye. Café Felix? Hmm. I don’t remember that being here and having developed quite easily I might add a taste for French cooking we ventured in.
The menu had decent in size without being overwhelming. The food presentation was perfect and tasted wonderful. Ann Arbor is a college town whose heart is the University of Michigan. Named after the two wives of the land speculators both named Ann was incorporated in the 1820’s. Ann Arbor is made of all walks of life and offers a vast array of food choices. These competative conditions make for impressive menus and restaurants in the area. Cafe Felix competes quite well. Below is a sampling of the items we ordered. … continue reading.

Friday night. Date night.
19 June 2009
My beautiful wife decided we should savor one my favorite cuisines. She chose J. Betski’s Polish and German styled restaurant knowing that I have a soft spot for sausages. That soft spot is directly attributable to my larger soft spot. Sorry Honey, I do love the food.
J. Betski’s is located in a trendy part of Raleigh surrounded by other restaurants and knick knack shops. The building is modern and has patio seating. This being June and North Carolina (and me from Michigan) I opted to dine in, avoiding the swelter. I don’t know how the Carolinians do it.
J. Betski's
We were greeted at the door and were seated with a reservation for two at 6:00 pm. There is no booth seating and it is a small restaurant, presenting few tables. Parties greater than 8 would be difficult to seat. The floor plan is cozy but not the euphemistic version for cramped. The décor is simple, classy, and does well to set the tone for the evening. It has high ceilings and a hard floor which makes for a slightly noisy night. This is the norm at most restaurants nowadays. Betski’s sets its sights on 30 or 40 somethings with disposable income who are apt to seek out high energy dining experiences. I can’t blame them, having waited tables and witnessed the old timers coming in coupon in tow at 4:30 sharp ordering hot water to drink and splitting a lunch portion of poached salmon with no butter, salt, spices or flavor whilst complaining about price, service, and portion size knowing full well they will be back tomorrow and every day, same time, same meal, same complaint.
