I've often heard "Adversity introduces a man to himself." If this is true, then Daren Metz was introduced to himself at a very young age. Growing up in a large family of little means, survival was the order of the day. When Daren was 12, his family left Philly and migrated to Detroit. A few years later, he would be on his own. Succumbing to the pressures of doing it all alone, Daren's single mother left home, leaving her children to fend for themselves. The state of Michigan intervened with intentions of distributing the children within its foster care system -- not Daren. Now 16 years old and wanting no parts of it, he saw tempting fate on the streets more appealing than living with strangers.
For almost two years, Daren slept wherever he could -- often sleeping in cars or on rooftops. During Detroit's brutal winter, his bed was the floor of his high school's band room. There, within the confines of that makeshift bedroom, Daren would find temporary solace from the elements and his misfortunes.
By day, Daren worked diligently to earn his diploma. By night, he fervently beat his stresses away on a drum set. It was therapeutic and provided just enough reprieve from the daily drama to function. Playing the drums became a passion and a constant, despite the uncertainty of almost everything else in his life.
After being the only one of his siblings to graduate from high school, Daren completed four years in the Navy, and then returned to Philly to pursue a college education. It would take 13 years to earn his degree, but his determination has one speed -- succeed.
To this day, Daren's therapist, the drum set, still manages to help him cope with it all. Darker days behind, he's a dedicated husband and father who now finds joy creating musical job opportunities for other talented drummers that get overlooked by big artists for the usual brand-name suspects. That is why Daren is spreading the love with his unique venture Return Of The Funky Drums. These are but a few of the details and his story could easily fill the pages of a novel. I found his story inspiring and decided to let him tell us more about it in his own words.
Your story is inspiring on so many levels and a true testament to determination, drive, willpower and the human spirit. What motivates you?
I believe that I am motivated by seeing how ANY person can overcome any adversity if you believe in yourself and follow the right path to achieving your dreams. That path can have pitfalls and obstacles, but that is the point. If everything is easy, then you are not motivated to achieve it.
To say you had a rough childhood would be a major understatement. How does overcoming that and the lessons it provided you play into your professional endeavors, if at all?
I definitely take the lessons I learned from being homeless for a year in how I react to negative situations in business, music, family and friends. A lot of people don't know that I slept in my band room and used a book called 'Stick Control' to learn drum rudiments that I still use to this day. It definitely shaped how I play, because in those days we didn't have Youtube, DVDs or any other types of technology to learn.
Passing the time on those raggedy drums and 'Stick Control' kept my mind focused on my dreams and goals when I would finally get a home of my own! It also kept me off of the streets and out of the street life. I was so focused on getting my high school diploma and getting to college!
What made you want to become a drummer?
I had the skill to play the drums from around 6 or 7 years old. I don't know how, but it really just came naturally. Being one of 10 kids, of course, we couldn't afford drums so I beat on pots and pans, buckets, bowls and of course, my mothers couch! I beat on the cushions until the stuffing came out! But anything that had to do with drums would just stop me in my tracks! I don't believe that drummers really have a choice in the matter. They are drummers from birth and try to do everything else!
Who are some of the people that inspire you musically?
I'm showing my age, but the start came from going to the Hitsville studios in Detroit and meeting some of the Funk Brothers as a kid. I had an uncle who took me to the studios and I got my baptism in the music world by seeing a ton of Detroit players that were amazing! But, I was equally amazed at rock music due to Detroit radio stations playing Cream, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Santana, Styx and other rock music as well as Parliament, Funkadelic, Zapp and Prince. And of course, Stevie Wonder as well. When (Wonder's) 'Songs in the Key of Life' came out, I poured over EVERY track and wore all of those albums out! I didn't know that Stevie played DRUMS on a lot of the tracks as well, but to pool that amount of musicians together to record such an epic masterpiece really taught me lessons that I use for 'Return of the Funky Drums.'
I've seen a lot of amazing drummers in my life. I've noticed they all seem to possess a particular feature that creates a unique stamp or style. What do you feel you have that represents that for you?
A lot of drummers have a signature style or move that sets them apart from the other. I believe that my style centers on playing two different time signatures at one time, which I call 'The Mad Spider!' My friends tell me when I do it; it looks like a spider making a web. I also do 'Paradiddles from Hell', which subdivides single, double, and triple paradiddles, but knowing how to come in on the '1' # of the music so the other band members don't get lost! I also love playing in odd time signatures and tons of Afro-Cuban and Funk/R&B styles.
You are pioneering your own movement in "Return of the Funky Drums." What is its purpose and function?
'Return of the Funky Drums' spawned from the art of drumming and how many kindred spirits are connected to music as an art form. In the music business, there is a growing frustration for me that there is so much talent but the general public never hears any of it because of multiple reasons that we all know: Drum machines, no A&R to develop talent, no real record companies, artists using throw-away bands or one band playing for multiple artists, no bands.
The purpose is to hopefully spawn a new appreciation for the art form of drumming and how it can make people feel good. It is a blessing to see people moving and dancing to rhythms that you are creating with a band. It is not about chops, and it's wonderful to see some of the pyrotechnics that a lot of these drummers are doing. But I miss seeing and hearing bands and artists that use real musicians in the studio and live.
What are some of the challenges you've faced in striving to make it a successful venture?
Let's see, where do I start? Just kidding. But seriously, the biggest challenge is finding out how to balance producing a show and DVD taping all while being one of the participants in it! It has been a massive experience as a producer learning when to stand aside to let the dream become a reality! But the results speak for themselves.
Music is such a competitive game and can be very cliquish, especially when it comes to getting the gigs. People often preach unity on music scenes but don't necessarily practice it. Why help other drummers?
In life, there are cliques, competition and groups, but one thing that I learned from being out here on my own is to become the clique that everyone else wants to join. By letting other drummers in on my projects helps the music community and hopefully spurs other artists to join in. 'Return' represents real unity and friendship and it will always be open to other drummers that are 'homeless.' It gives them a home and a place to laugh and have fun. When you are having fun with other musicians then the creativity really kicks in.
What do you want to see for "Return of the Funky Drums" at its peak as a brand?
I have had offers to go all over the United States to showcase drums and music with the same type of format as I have done in Philadelphia! I am not sure if I want to follow that avenue, but if I can revitalize the music industry and get some soul, R&B and Funk on store shelves and iTunes then, let's do it!
What type of response have you seen from it thus far?
The first show sold out in 25 minutes, which was an amazing feat considering that I did NO advertising! We are planning on doing the show again, but bigger, with all original tunes for each drummer as well as a better DVD that can be released for sale.
Are there any sponsors getting on board with the movement? If so, how did you procure their assistance?
We have sponsors in the music and drum industry, mainly from the companies that endorse me: Noble & Cooley Drums, Drum Workshop (who donated $3,000 worth of drums to the drum students of the Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts for the cause) Sabian Cymbals, Vic Firth Drum Sticks, Evans Drum Heads, Fxpansion Electronic Drums and Acoutin Custom Snare Drums. But, I, myself handle most of the costs! I haven't gone through the sponsor angle because I am too stubborn to beg for anything that I love to do. I have been advised to change my ways, but I need control of the project before it gets out of hand.
What are your thoughts on today's music industry and where do you feel it's headed?
I am old enough to have seen the music industry go from Hitsville to digital home recording, so it has made a complete circle in my opinion. The bad part is a lot of today's music has no real chords or melody. The good part is that some of the music does have good chords and melody! We just need A&Rs to come back and develop artists and let them grow.
Hopefully, the new technology coming out will spawn a new era in the recording world. They now have 48-track recording studios on an iPad! Amazing! Who knows what artists will be brave enough to use it record their next Grammy-winning concert or CD? I know iTunes is here and the CD is leaving.
Overall, we are heading in a good direction, but we need more good music and better songwriting. I have been working with a number of artists in this area: The Cooper Brothers, Niambi Michele, David P. Stevens and I believe they are bringing a fresh new approach to music in the Philly area.
What's next for Daren Metz and "Return of the Funky Drums?"
We are currently starting production on a ROTFD CD/DVD that will feature each drummer playing original funk, R&B, and soul tracks. All of it will be featured with a live DVD that showcases the compositions at the new Uptown Theater in Philly!
The challenge is for each drummer to sit down at the piano and create your own music. Playing drum solos are easy. But can you write music to go with your drumming? I can!
How can people keep up with you electronically?
I can be reached on Facebook or contact me via e-mail at email@example.com.
Is there anything you'd like to add?
The Return of the Funky Drums project would not be possible without the other drummers that participated:
- Alphonso "Fonz" Hedgemann (John Legend, Eugene "Man Man" Roberts, Ben Tankard, Martha Munizzi)
- Nate Woodard (Walter Hawkins, Hezekiah Walker)
- Richard Lawrence Alexander (Kirk Franklin, Lele Rose, Kim Burrell)
- Ryan Young (David P. Stevens, Change of Pace)
- Brad Smith (Drexel University Jazz Orchestra)
- Joe Brown (Miche, Gospel Music Workshop of America)
And 'Thank you' to the band, sponsors, and all that helped to make my dream a reality! We just want to keep growing and hopefully create a movement that brings a great new sound to Philly!
- Paradiddle: (one of the basic patterns (rudiments) of drumming, consisting of four even strokes played in the order left-right-left-left or right-left-right-right.)
- # The "1" (the beginning, top or 1st note of a musical time signature).

Thread: Pennsylvania police chief: F*ck all you libtards out there, you take it in the a**
Pennsylvania police chief: F*ck all you libtards out there, you take it in the a**
The mayor of Gilberton, Pennsylvania is standing by her city's police chief despite a series of profanity-laced and threatening videos.
In a video that has received wide attention, police chief Mark Kessler repeatedly tells those upset by his use of profanity to "go f*ck yourself" as he fires various automatic weapons.
Mayor Mary Lou Hannon told The Morning Call that Kessler had the right to express himself. The city would "not take action to quash free speech, whether or not each member of council or any member of council agrees with it."
Kessler has uploaded several profanity-laced videos to YouTube. In one video, Kessler berates "libtards" and warns of an armed rebellion against the government.
"F*ck all you libtards out there, as a matter of fact, read my shirt," he says, turning around to show a message on his back which read, "Liberals take it in the a**."
"You take it in the ass and I don't give a f*ck what you say so you can all just go f*ck yourselves. Period. I wont be going to D.C. and I don't give a f*ck. If you f*cking maniacs want to turn this into an armed revolt, knock yourselves out. I'm not about that, so see you on the other side."
In a [video=youtube;_QQW0RswpQ4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3iT1ii1NFM"]video on basic pistol defense[/URL], Kessler repeatedly shoots a picture of a scary clown, which he says is Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). He calls Secretary of State John Kerry a "c*cksucker" incalled for a massive rally to "show these tyrants we will not stand for any more violations on our constitution or our freedoms."
"I'm calling on all true Americans , all militia members, all true oath keepers to assemble, be ready to march on a tyrannical county government right here in Schuylkill county Pennsylvania, democrats are the true enemy of our country, our freedoms, our constitution, along with liberal news agency's , liberal news reporters, much like hitlers nazis , time we clean these antiamerican thugs from office," he wrote.
I watched a few of the videos on youtube. I get the message but this guy might be a few sandwiches short of a picnic.Do not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me

Cecil Houston, the beloved band leader at Jackson High School, passed away this week.
The 36-year-old is survived by his wife and children.

The Celebration of Life Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 8, at Elizabeth Baptist Church, 4245 Cascade Road SW.
Mr. Houston, who left a legacy at Jackson and Clark Atlanta University is remembered as a dedicated and devoted person to his family, school and community.
Richard Williams, the Engineering & Early College Academy Leader at Jackson, told East Atlanta Patch that Houston was a "great person, loving husband and doting father."
He was equally as dedicated to the band, Williams said.
"He really came in and worked hard to rebuild the band program and really had it moving in a positive direction."
Mr. Houston also was part of the music life at Clark Atlanta Univiersity where he was percussion instructor.
He co-wrote "Phunk-a-Delic (Part 1)" with Aaron Bentley, which the Clark Atlantic University Drumline performed in the 2002 film "Drumline."

When Redra was a girl, her mother was tormented by a recurring, unchanging nightmare. Eventually, the terror drove her insane, and in her fright, she plunged blindly into the forest where she was killed by horrid beasts. Beginning the very next night, the nightmare became Redra's, and it has stayed with her for seven horrific years. Tonight she will end the horror, one way or another. "Nightmares Unleashed" is an adventure designed for characters of 4th and 5th level.
The dream is always the same. The woman walks alone. A stream of smoke pours out of her mouth and swirls across the ground. In moments, it takes the form of a seven-foot tall winged, horned, humanoid holding a flaming blade. The creature looks into the woman's eyes, into her soul, and speaks: "She must not live." It raises its fiery sword, but the woman turns away and flees. She tries to scream but can't. She stumbles and falls. As she rolls onto her back, the menacing figure steps over her and swings its sword down ...

Moving Forward
Now that Debbie Dorsey's hair has completely grown back, she sports a short, stylish cut. Reflecting on the experience she says, "I never really accepted or felt comfortable with the hair loss. But I learned that being bald didn't rob my femininity."
Gallagher says that she doesn't know if her patients overcome their feelings through the hair loss experience, but they eventually feel that they are managing it. "That's what I'm aiming for. If a person says "Oh everything's fine, I'll be fine,' I get nervous. That overly bright persona tends to be more fragile than someone who has natural ups and downs."
Dorsey's message to readers is for people to learn and talk about cancer and cancer prevention. "Until they can find a cure for cancer, we need to stop fearing it and take a proactive role by getting yearly screenings." Dorsey was featured in a recent PBS documentary titled "No Hair Day," which follows the making of a photography exhibit and the experiences of Dorsey and two other women undergoing chemotherapy.

In Detail
Implementing different search engines on web products is a mandate these days. Apache Solr is a robust search engine, but simply implementing Apache Solr and forgetting about it is not a good idea, especially when you have to fight for the search ranking of your web product. In such a scenario, you need to keep monitoring, administrating, and optimizing your Solr to retain your ranking.
"Administrating Solr" is a practical, hands-on guide. This book will provide you with a number of clear, step-by-step exercises and some advanced concepts which will help you administrate, monitor, and optimize Solr using Drupal and associated scripts. Administrating Solr will also provide you with a solid grounding on how you can use Apache Solr with Drupal.
"Administrating Solr" starts with an overview of Apache Solr and the installation process to get you familiar with Solr. It then gradually moves on to discuss the mysteries that make Solr flexible enough to render appropriate search results in different scenarios. This book will take you through clear and practical concepts that will help you monitor, administrate, and optimize your Solr appropriately using both scripts and tools. This book will also teach you ways to query your search and methods to keep your Solr healthy and well maintained. With this book, you will learn how to effectively implement and optimize Solr using Drupal.
A fast-paced, example-based guide to learning how to administrate, monitor, and optimize Apache Solr.
Who this book is for
"Administrating Solr" is for developers and Solr administrators who have a basic knowledge of Solr and who are looking for ways to keep their Solr server healthy and well maintained. A basic working knowledge of Apache Lucene is recommended, but this is not mandatory.

/var/opinion - The GPLv2 vs. GPLv3 Debate
As of this writing, the GPLv2 vs. GPLv3 debate is still raging. For the record, GPLv3 doesn't bother me in the least as long as nobody is forced to use it. As for the debate itself, I'd love to say the debate boils down to one thing. But it doesn't. There's not enough room in this column to address all the issues involved; however, a few central issues deserve attention.
First, the debate presents a conflict between two different views of freedom. Linus Torvalds and other kernel developers want people to have the freedom to do whatever they want with Linux, hence their rejection of the current draft of GPLv3. This includes the freedom to produce a Linux-based device that implements some form of DRM, such as TiVo. I feel compelled to mention that Torvalds had made a good case that not all DRM is bad, but as you'll soon see, the argument surrounding DRM can be peripheral to the debate.
The FSF wants users to have the freedom to take the source code that was used to create the binary that runs in any device, modify the code and run a binary of the modified version on the same device. Once again, the argument usually revolves around TiVo.
Forget TiVo for a moment. I would like to pose a different hypothetical scenario. I have two ulterior motives for doing so. The following example fits nicely with this issue's emphasis on embedded systems, and it circumvents the tendency to focus the controversy on DRM.
Think of a gadget manufacturer that wants to ship its gadgets with an operating system on ROM. The end user's freedom is not restricted by DRM. It is simply impossible to flash a ROM with the binary of a modified version of the source code.
One could argue that consumers are potentially harmed because they are stuck with any bugs in the software on ROM. Neither you nor the gadget provider has an easy way to update the software. Fair enough, but is that potential problem a good enough argument to draft a license to prevent this company from using free software?
It depends. The Volkswagen was originally designed with every conceivable cost-cutting measure to make it affordable to the working man. Some models lacked a gas gauge as late as 1959 or 1960 (I can't recall the exact date when the gauge was added). When you ran out of gas, you switched to a spare tank. If you weren't paying attention or overestimated how far you could go on that spare tank, you could run out of gas. That was quite a big inconvenience, but many consumers were happy with that trade-off because it was one reason they could afford to own a car.
Let's go back to that gadget with the software on ROM. Even if there is a bug in the software that is as annoying as running out of gas, many consumers may see it as an acceptable trade-off for being able to own a device that was formerly out of their reach. The only people who are truly harmed by having the software on ROM are the tiny minority of hackers who want to run a modified version of the software on the gadget.
Someone will no doubt point out that not all users have to be hackers to get their gadgets modified. They may have hacker friends. But look around you. Of all the cell-phone users you see daily, how many do you think have ever had the thought enter their minds that they could get someone to modify the software on their phones? How many are brave enough to let them do it? What about people who use GPS navigation systems, DVD players, televisions, microwaves or other devices? What about devices that use Flash ROM, but do not provide a way for end users to update it?
So, you see, although the GPLv3 protects some end users, it is intellectually dishonest to say that, in all cases, the GPLv3 necessarily protects the freedoms of the vast majority of end users. It protects only a minority of hackers or brave, savvy users with hacker friends, and applies only to devices that provide ways to apply updates.
I'm sure this analogy has holes. No example or analogy is perfect. But I hope you can see that, regardless of which side gets your vote, both the GPLv2 and the GPLv3 can stomp on someone's freedom. So this debate is not simply about freedom. It is about whose freedom is more important.
Now let's get to the grand ulterior motive for this column. Do you see how much the debate can change once we stop focusing on DRM and fair use restrictions? I know what that tells me, but what does that tell you?
Nicholas Petreley is Editor in Chief of Linux Journal and a former programmer, teacher, analyst and consultant who has been working with and writing about Linux for more than ten years.
Protecting people from their
Protecting people from their ignorance is not freedom. Hacker or not, having the choice is what freedom is about. Taking it away is on par with what Apple has done with their software and is not in the best interests of its users, regardless of the example you provided. (Minority of hackers, etc.)
Non-flashable ROM
You raise an interesting issue, but a device with only non-flashable ROM has always excluded the ability to run a modified version of the program, at least on the ROM. This doesn't change with moving from GPL v2 to GPL v3.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Diner Reviews
We waited 45 minutes for the
appetizers and when we questioned it, they served our entrees first because they were "ready". One person in our party was served all her courses before we got our meals so she essentially ate alone. We waited for the entrees over 30 minutes when we asked for them back. Everyone should be served the same courses at the same time. The restaurant was not that busy. Other tables had their entire meals and we were still waiting. The manager did compensate us for the delay with complimentary wine but if you want to take over 2 hours for lunch and have all the courses served in the wrong order, this is the place for you! By the way, the food was good!"
Dined on 7/23/2014
Our server was slow to attend to
our table and give us menus. I noticed all other tables were given hot towels and chips. My setting was missing a fork and no one bothered to give me one. My server never got my second drink order."
Dined on 7/22/2014
The food is awesome, and the scene
is fantastic! I try something new overtime i go, and whatever i try it becomes my new favorite. You can't go wrong with anything you pic from their menu."

Went here for a birthday gathering
with 8 other people. 1st time I came here it was extrmely crowded and they had our table elbow to elbow. Not the case this time thankfully. Came here primarily for the duck and guess what? They ran out. Service was subpar and food was just ok. Come here for the ambience, not the food."
Dined on 7/20/2014
This was my 3rd time at Spice
Market, I must say the food is good each time I have been here, however this time the service was slow. We could only get reservations for 8 people on Sunday at 5pm. The wait staff was not attentive at all, I advise my daughter had nut allergy ( she had been there 2 years ago with me and no isaccsue) we ordered meals without nuts. When one of us tasted a peanut in our food the explanation was it may have gone in by accident. This is NOT acceptable if you have a nut allergy in your party. Restaurants are usually honest if they can accommodate special request and they said they could. They simply said sorry and took it off the bill. Very disappointed...."

Great Place for good food and

A little dark inside for my taste;
hard to read the menu, but great ambiance & food. Would definitely recommend; nice neighborhood to walk around after dinner too. Probably would have given 5 stars but our waiter was MIA at times....."
Dined on 7/18/2014
This is always one of my faves,
easily my 6th time dining here. This night was extremely special because I was asked to officiate my friends wedding. A night i will never forget. To top it off the food was also unforgettable. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. A little bit of everything. Unbelievable. This is a great place for a special evening with friends or loved ones."
Dined on 7/18/2014
My husband and I shared appetizers
and main courses and thought everything was delicious. The shrimp dumplings and the Vietnamese chicken were particularly outstanding. The restaurant is very exotically decorated and makes you feel like you might be dining in the Far East. The only criticism I have is the music which is way too loud!!"
Dined on 7/17/2014
I've been to Spice Market several
times. The food has always been great! This time was no exception. There had been changes to the menu since the last time I visited, which meant that some of my favorites were gone. Their replacements were equally as tasty. The service was a bit slow, with one of my guests not receiving her lunch entrée until the rest of us had nearly finished. The waitresses explanation was that it was a new dish and that's why it took longer to prepare? Roasted chicken? Still worth the trip."
Dined on 7/16/2014
Food is always wonderful, and the
setting is gorgeous. The only slight problem was that the music was so loud it was almost impossible to have a conversation. Despite that, I'll keep coming back!"

Dinner at spice mkt was a birthday
gift for my son. He and his girlfriend enjoyed the food, the service, their drinks, and the ambiance Money well spent."
Dined on 7/15/2014
We are repeat visitors - it is
hard for a restaurant to maintain excellence year after year, and that Spice Market has done this is a testimony to the professionalism shown all the way through the meal, from the reservations process through desert. We were celebrating two birthdays on this visit, and had a party of five. I had requested seating in one of the private rooms downstairs and it was accommodated. This privacy made the dinner even that more special. If you have a party of 5 or more, request this feature - you will not be disappointed! We all had the chef's tasting menu, and each morsel of food was delectable. There are five seperate course on this menu, and although the portions were not huge, none of us left feeling hungry."

My partner and I were visiting
NYC. We had heard about the Spice Market from people in Edmonton AB and decided to give it a go. I want to go back already! It was exceptional food and exceptional service. We did the tasting menu and wine pairings and were not disappointed in a single thing."
Dined on 7/14/2014
It doesn't get much better than
this in NYC! The atmosphere is absolutely stunning on its own and the food is to die for. If you pick one place to visit- this is the way to go!"

28 degrees celsius outside and at
least +30 degrees inside due to problems With AC. No one told us anything but we saw People been mowed downstairs and overheard a comment about the AC. Not offered a table downstairs although there seemed to be available tables. The waitress was not to happy about the temprature either, and that reflected on the service. In this heat the spicy food was just another hot part of the experience. Probably better on a cold evening..."
Dined on 7/13/2014
The food is uniformly Good though
the atmosphere was very vibrant and Frenetic. It is Not a place for a quiet meal. The restaurant was very crowded at 10 PM on a Saturday with a lot of people crowding the rather small bar. The tables are close to one another. The one quirk is that food is brought to the Table when ready even if it means different times of arrival for various dishes. In our case the food arrived before the cocktails though it was probably the effect of an extremely crowded . Good for groups and those wanting a lively scene. But not for those desiring a quiet meal. The Steamed Red snapper in Tomato and Lemongrass broth and the Seasonal veg fried rice with Mint and ginger were very well prepared."

2nd time here and I enjoyed it
just as much as last time. Did the tasting menu and it did not disappoint."
Dined on 7/12/2014
The service was very good as well
as the food. If you like spicy food or food with spices, this is the place to go ! We had the tempura sea bass and the pork ribs as appetizers and it was delicious ! The egg noodles were also amazing ! We were a bit disappointed with the pork vindaloo that we found covered with too much spices. But overall the food was excellent. The staff is very helpful and nice. The only negative point I would say is that the food is coming too fast. I suggest that your order your plates one after the other. The waiter told us that the food would come as soon as ready with no specific order but we thought they would at least give us the time to finish one dish before bringing us the next one. Would come back though."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Our experience here was
outstanding! My husband and I decided to try the tasting menu and the wine tasting to accompany it. The best choice ever! I would highly recommend this restaurant when in NYC to all my family and friends!"
Dined on 7/11/2014
The ambiance at the Spice Market
is so well done and beautiful. We were there on a warm night and the windows were all wide open, the building and the interior design was so gorgeous that it actually put all of us in a good mood regarding our dinner choice for the night...but then the food came. Every single thing we ordered was "just ok". It was very salty and the flavors were not complex at all. Every single person at our table (4 of us) felt the same way. It has the potential to be so amazing but it truly dissappointed all of us. Fix the good and it would be a must see place!"
Dined on 7/11/2014
Recommended by friends in Sweden
and it was really great! We took the tasting meny, perfect!"
Dined on 7/11/2014
I was able to easily make a
reservation with less than two week's notice, so that was a plus. The restaurant is conveniently located on a of 2 streets in the meat market district, so it has good views. I like the eastern garb that the servers wear; it is different than the usual restaurant uniform. The service was very attentive and prompt. The food--a fusion of various Asian and other cuisines--was excellent! The chicken and pork appetizers were so good that my dining companion and I ordered more to go."
Dined on 7/10/2014
After being away from this
wonderful restaurant for almost a year, what joy it was to treat my niece to a 21st birthday lunch, with a one on one Auntie/ niece time at Spice Market. Indeed it was sublime. Despite her sensitivities to several food items, she was able to find a dish and a drink that she liked. Our server was flawless in his attention and knowledge about the menu. Indeed it was a comforting return to one of my favorite resturants - just sublime."
Dined on 7/9/2014
We very much enjoyed the place and
will happily come back. The food is particularly good and tasty. We had the baby ribs, the halibut and the vietnamese curry. All three were really delicious. This is really great quality for the money."
Dined on 7/8/2014
Misses wanted to try SM and made
an event with some family. Ordered half of the appetizers and 'mains' (everything is share friendly). The chicken wings were spiciest; the mushroom egg rolls and it's 'aioli' like sauce were great; peanut sauce on chicken skewers were tasty. The steak was awesome and went with the ginger fried rice smashingly. Would go back."
Dined on 7/8/2014
It Is hard to cook such a terrible
food! The salmon tartare floating on a greasy disgusting sauce , and even worse ( it it is possible) THE snapper on that terrible corn broth...!!! If you don't care about food and experience a " I wish i were in sex and city" maybe is your place!"
Dined on 7/8/2014
Exciting looking menu but only
mediocre food, in this dark, outdated restaurant. Time for a makeover; including the Staff uniforms. Was here about 10 years ago...looks like nothing has changed. The restaurant that time forgot. Great service saved the day."
Dined on 7/7/2014
Good food, even though it comes
out at random times. The service was terrible - apathetic, lethargic, etc."
Dined on 7/6/2014
Spice Market is a very dark place,
actually a no-go. The food was nothing special, the same you can get everywhere in a Chinese Restaurant, but even tastier and cheaper.Nice decoration!!"
Dined on 7/5/2014
We come there every time we're in
New York. The food is very good and the pricing is not outrageous."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Some of the negative reviews
(service/noise) almost caused me to drop Spice Market off my list... I am so thrilled that I did not make a change. We had a reservation for 3 at 8:30, were seated promptly and treated like royalty (we aren't). Our server explained things and kept a close eye on us. My 14 year old LOVED some menu items so much, we ordered them twice. We shared 5-6 items. Hubby and I had Ginger Margaritas, which were delicious. We did not want dessert, but Manager gave us cookies to go because we were celebrating son's graduation. Everything about the experience was great. Would absolutely go back!!"
Dined on 7/4/2014
Great food and an even better wine
pairing! My only slight complaint would be the staff's attentiveness to needing another utensil or beverage.. And the hostess was a bit snarky when I called to move our reservation back by 10 minutes because of terrible weather. But the food & ambiance more than made up for it."
Dined on 7/2/2014
We're a family with 3 kids.
Enjoyed dining in this chic atmosphere. The food was just excellent. You should definitely try the tasty cocktails as well."
Dined on 7/2/2014
Absolutely loved the food here -
got the vegetable tasting menu, and everything that came out was phenomenal. Tasting menu is also very well-priced and a lot of food per course. Boyfriend had ginger cocktail, which was quite refreshing and not too strong. Vibe is very much what tourists think of when they think nyc - famous chef, big space, vast menu, great decoration and loud music in a trendy neighborhood. Only thing lacking was the service. Took 45 minutes for our order to be taken, after trying multiple times to flag our waiter down."
Dined on 7/2/2014
Great selection and wonderful
tastes in a selection of medium spicy foods. Truly a new experience that we all enjoyed."
Dined on 7/2/2014
I have visited this place on and
off for years but will not come back after this dinner experience. The waiter was nowhere to be seen. I had to order additional dishes from bus boys. Ordering drinks took 15 min, getting them another 15min. Cleaning up the dirty dishes took forever. Wait staff is snotty and talked about me wheni asked for the manager. They never called the manager so I asked a bus Boy to get me one. Another table complained to the manager after I did. My dinner lasted 3 hrs due to the horrible service. Never again."
Dined on 7/2/2014
The food was good, as you would
expect, but the service was the worst I've experienced in NY. Would definitely not go back."

The central point of the WaPo article referenced in the previous post is that folks in D.C. like Metro, but that doesn't mean they actually use it:
- Washingtonians love their subway. Four out of five people in the region have used the system, and 88 percent of those have a positive view of it. Similar numbers said it was reliable, comfortable and a good value. And 58 percent said they would support more funding for Metro, even if that means higher taxes, rather than face service cuts.
And yet:
- According to a recent Washington Post poll, 9 percent of Washingtonians said they regularly use the subway to get to and from work. A third of those who don't take Metro said they could but choose not to, while nearly two-thirds said public transportation isn't an option for them.
Why don't more people use the subway? It's the same story we hear in other cities, both in America and worldwide:
- Today, the District accounts for one in four jobs in the region. As a result, commuting patterns have splintered, and many workers go from suburb to suburb or travel well beyond the reaches of Metro.
"As the center gets to be less and less significant, it's tougher for transit to play the type of role it would like to play," said Alan E. Pisarski of Falls Church, author of "Commuting in America." "The demand is just not there."
When you listen to commuters the issue really isn't' that mysterious :
- Nikki Herson took Metro to work once. She found the 30-minute walk from her apartment to Tenleytown tiring, the 25-minute ride to Shady Grove tedious and the 10-minute bus ride from there plain annoying.
John Wengle's Bethesda-to-Washington commute is the kind Metro was made for. But he's turned off by packed Red Line cars and what can be an hour-long venture. In a car, he does it in a tidy, convenient and comfortable 25 minutes.
And note some of the assumptions embedded in this sentence which considers why more people don't use Metro:
- [I]s it the fault of car-obsessed commuters unwilling to give up the comfort and convenience of their rides?
If a company offers a service and consumers don't use it, is it the consumer's fault for not using it or is it the company's fault for not offering a better service?
The "car-obsessed" reference is a common one used by reporters. But motorists aren't "obsessed" with their cars any more than office workers are "obsessed" with their computers. Like computers, cars simply offer more speed, flexibility, and convenience than the other options. Once something better comes along this "obsession" will wither away.

By JEFF MEYERS
---- — BURLINGTON — Rowan Roussy has had more than his share of ups and downs during his first 18 months of life.
Rowan was born 11 weeks premature, and at 2 pounds, 8 ounces, he was ill-prepared to face the challenges of life outside his mother's womb.
"He has had his issues since being born," said Rowan's mom, Hannah Bushey, from the Vermont Children's Hospital at Fletcher Allen. Since late February, Rowan has spent most of his time there as he awaits a complex surgical procedure to adjust problems with the position of his brain and spinal cord.
"He's a happy baby," she said of the young child's inherent determination to survive. "He smiles constantly; even now while he's been stuck in the hospital, he's the happiest kid."
Rowan required his first surgery within 24 hours of birth as doctors tried to adjust a serious problem with spina bifida, an incomplete development of the spinal cord or its covering.
His brain also suffered irreparable damage during his first week of life due to a lack of oxygen, and he had to undergo several surgeries to relieve pressure on his brain caused by excess fluid buildup.
Those conditions, as well as setbacks with Rowan's physical and mental development, almost seemed secondary on Feb. 25 when another issue developed.
"When he would cry at home, he'd sometimes hold his breath and make himself pass out," Bushey said of a developing concern. "This would usually last five to 10 seconds, and he'd snap out of it. But this last time, it lasted almost 45 seconds and required CPR from my boyfriend (Rowan's father, Jason Roussy)."
Bushey immediately called 911 when her son initially did not respond, but by the time emergency-medical personnel arrived, Rowan was conscious, alert and his usual happy self.
Still, EMTs transported Rowan from the family's Altona home to CVPH, and he was later transferred to the neonatal intensive-care unit at Fletcher Allen. Subsequent tests showed that a portion of Rowan's brain was being pulled into his spinal column and needed to be corrected with a procedure called chiari decompression surgery.
A short while later, Rowan and his parents traveled to Boston Children's Hospital where tests confirmed that he would need to undergo the procedure.
"He ended up getting pneumonia on the day of the surgery, and they had to postpone it," Bushey said. "He needed time to recover and get his lungs stronger, so we came back here to Fletcher Allen."
The next available date for surgery was not until mid-April, so Rowan's parents tried to find an option for an earlier day at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire. That looked like a go, but then problems with New Hampshire accepting New York Medicaid cut the option short.
"We never canceled our (second) surgery date in Boston, so that is still scheduled for April 19," Bushey said. "It's hard to tell (what might happen) with that type of surgery. They can go in and do it and nothing could change, or we could have amazing results."
Bushey, who also has a 5-year-old daughter, Abbie Mangum, does not know why she went into premature labor with Rowan.
"I woke up and was bleeding," she recalled. "I told my boyfriend to put Abbie on the bus, and I'd see him later. I didn't think I was having a baby, so I drove myself to the hospital."
Once there, she learned that she was in labor and delivered Rowan shortly after arrival.
Since then, they have had little time together as a family at home, but Bushey is looking at the upcoming surgery as a new start, an opportunity to help Rowan build himself up and overcome the obstacles that have dominated his first several months of life.
Email Jeff Meyers:firstname.lastname@example.com TO HELP For more information on Rowan Roussy and his condition, visit his Facebook page at "Rockin' For Rowan." Family members will hold a bake sale at CVPH Medical Center on Monday, April 29. Staff, patients and visitors are welcome to purchase goodies, with proceeds going toward Rowan and his family.

When Severe Weather Strikes
By Ben Kieffer
In May of 2011, Joplin Missouri was hit by the deadliest single tornado since record keeping began in 1950. After that disaster, the National Weather Service evaluated their warning system and public response to it. That led to a more specific warning system that went into effect in Iowa on April 1. Today we hear from two Iowa National Weather Service meteorologists about the new "impact-based" warning system. We also listen back to our conversation last year with storm chaser Jeff Piotrowski and his firsthand account of the Joplin tornado.

Excellent product and easy to use
Tender Tree Rectangle Invitations I liked the suggestions of wording to use on the invitations, but knowing that it could all be changed was great. I liked that you could adjust to multiple colors and that they gave you pallet suggestions. Overall it was a great experience. It was very helpful to be able to order a sample as well. They delivered quickly and produce a great product.
Whispering Feather Rectangle Invitations I absolutely love my invitations! I ordered these for my summer wedding because they looked classy yet modern and summery! I chose the dusty rose color and I love how it looks. The look and feel of the invitation is really perfect. It took less than a week for me to put in the order and receive my package.

Koni Performance Shocks, For Porsche Part # MS-1662
If you like to drive your vehicle hard, really hard, or maybe race it on the weekends (autocross, time trials) but still be able to drive daily, Konis are your answer. During the week leave the shocks at their softest setting (which will be somewhat stiffer than stock). Then when an event comes up, or a weekend outing, you can adjust to suit your needs. Konis work best with stiffer springs and sway bars, which doesnt mean that they would not enhance a stock suspension system! Please Note: Boge Shocks were original equipment on many Porsches except the 911S and those cars special ordered with Koni Shocks. Due to the difference of the front strut assembly, the Koni and Boge inserts are not interchangeable with each other. Be sure to order your Koni for the correct type. If you are not sure which type you have, green is generally Bilstein, Orange and yellow Koni, and black is Boge (Boge also makes shocks under the name Fitchel and Sachs). Learn More

We made this using all whole wheat flour, reduced the sugar to 1 cup, and replaced the pecans with chocolate chips. We still loved it and were glad that the whole-wheat loaf was still moist.
We have so much zucchini this time of year and my daughter-in-law loves banana. This was a great recipe to combine the two.
After my daughter and I devoured just about an entire loaf within a couple hours. We decided to make it again right away and put in the freezer. This recipe makes a large loaf plus 4 mini loafs. I substituted the oil with applesauce. And added a cup of chocolate chips. Yummy. I will definitely be making again!
Very good, but I made a few changes. I used 2 cups of banana and 2 cups of zucchini. Not because I wanted to change it, I just had that much! Lol. I ended up cooking it for 60 minutes and the flavor is amazing!!!!
Excellent recipe just the way it is written! Tastes Awesome! I also tried adding 1 cup of chocolate chips and it is also Awesome!
