Hi Everyone! My name is Erica Seibert and I am a sophomore here at UWB! I plan to major in business with a management concentration. I love to plan events, so when I graduate I hope to work as an events planner! I spend my time outside of class baking or hanging out with friends. I love being outside, and enjoy hiking and camping. Additionally, I enjoy exploring the area around Bothell and the different parts of Seattle! One of my favorite things about UWB are all the opportunities to get involved on campus! There are so many clubs and organizations on campus everyone can find something they enjoy! spent this last year as the events coordinator and vice president of the Residents Hall Association, a housing organization that plans events for residents. It's been a great way to practice planning events and to meet new people on campus! I can't wait to welcome everyone to UWB and get started on another great year!
UW Bothell currently has more than 4,600 students.

Stana Katic to Kate Beckett: Don't Be a Loser!by Matt Richenthal at .
When it comes to Castle Season 6, TV Fanatic readers have made their opinions clear:
Over 57% of poll respondents believe Kate ought to accept Rick's proposal.
But does that mean the detective should turn down the job offer in D.C.? Star Stana Katic sure hopes not.
"If she drops the FBI gig, she's a loser," Katic tells TV Guide Magazine. "This is a modern woman's story, and I don't want to send the message that a woman has to choose love over a career. New York and D.C. are not that far apart, and Rick's a millionaire. They can travel. I think it would really be a big disservice to the character to create a job opportunity like this and let it peter out."
So how might the show be set up with Beckett in D.C. and Castle in New York? So glad you asked! Katic has the answer.
"Bring the 3XK killer back, which requires Kate to put together her own team. Sometimes we're all together in New York and sometimes we're telling different stories apart. Kate can have it all!"
Are you listening, Creator Andrew Marlowe? We'll find out when Castle returns in September.

Hello mrrz, I like your comments. Its interesting that she turned down the FBI guy because she didn't want to follow him from one assognment to another. Nor follow/wait for the Doctor while he went off to save less fortunate people in far away places. If she takes the Washington job its like she is asking Castle to do what she wasn't willing to do. hmmm...
But i have to say that i want her to go to D.C and say "no" for the sake of the show. That's not because she is "modern" though. That is because she has to realize what's important for her. What Stana calls modern, i call childish. She's not mature enough for a serious relation right now.

A look at how many households would be affected by those proposals, as well as one to increase taxes on households making more than $500,000, and rough estimates of the additional revenue they would generate over the next decade:
Plan: Increase the top two tax rates on income above $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for married couples. The 33 percent tax bracket would increase to 36 percent on income above the thresholds, and the 35 percent tax bracket would increase to 39.6 percent on taxable income above $397,000.
Households affected: 2.8 million.
Additional revenue: $442 billion.
Plan: Increase the 35 percent tax rate to 39.6 percent on income above $500,000.
Households affected: 965,000.
Additional revenue: $280 billion.
Plan: Increase the 35 percent tax rate to 39.6 percent on income above $1 million.
Households affected: 368,000.
Additional revenue: $200 billion.
Sources: Office of Management and Budget, Joint Committee on Taxation, Tax Policy Center, AP calculations.
Note: Additional components could be added to each plan, such as limiting deductions or increasing taxes on investments, which would increase revenue even more.

I just don't believe this at all. We were recertified very recently and the cost has doubled, we got written up for non compliance because our recipts were at the accountant.. but we furnished all the empty seed packs for inspection and all our sales records. Additionally our cost to be certified rose from 700 to 1100. Our inspector told us they had been audited recently and reprimanded because they never had to write anyone as 'out of compliance' so now they are writing everyone up on every little issue they can find. We are one of those under 250K farms. We are certfied growers and processors and have been for 15 years.

Fat chance I'll be weighing up my baby's future health
The world is going to hell in a hand basket. Actually, make that a baby basket. Right now there is a new "tool" for expectant parents on a prominent parenting website that couldn't be more damaging or ridiculous if it tried.
The tool basically determines whether or not your infant child is at risk of obesity. It works by typing in both parents' Body Mass Index, whether they smoke or not and their socio-economic status.
And it's touted as a helpful, informative and even insightful and trustworthy source of information for expectant parents. What a load of codswallop.
What's the inference here? That you abort a baby at risk of obesity because of a couple of numbers you typed into a dodgy looking internet calculator? The only thing useful about this so-called "tool" would be avoiding it altogether.
What hope do you have of being a good parent, ready to educate your children about health and body image if you can't get through the gestation period without first checking that they won't turn out fat?
"Absolutely terrible! Just crazy! They are sending out completely the wrong message," said Louise Adams, a clinical psychologist who specialises in health and weight management.
Adams told The Punch good parenthood requires people to place emphasis on safety, protection and healthy eating. Not size.
"Being larger is not necessarily a disability and health risks can be present at every level of BMI. Among US adults 20 years and older, 23.5% (approximately 16.3 million adults) of normal-weight adults were metabolically abnormal, whereas 51.3 per cent (approximately 35.9 million adults) of overweight adults and 31.7 per cent (approximately 19.5 million adults) of obese adults were metabolically healthy. Not only that, people don't die from being overweight. They die from cardiovascular disease and diabetes," she said.
The other glaring issue here of course, is the notion that the best parents are people who take a loving, sensible and responsible approach to life and health.
Not only that, surely the most important part of having a baby must be feeling excited about the new life that you're bringing into the world. So where's the tool that predicts stuff like personality traits or even a happiness meter? Isn't that what most people really want for their offspring?
It'd definitely make a better story than telling your kid that instead of painting the nursery before they were born, you both sat around the laptop predicting how fat that they'd be.

Christie says:
Thank you! What a ridiculous tool. There's enough pressure on expectant parents without adding speculation about obesity into the mix.
Pete says:
Could have saved them the 1/2 hr of coding the obesity predictor: fat parents have fat kids. Fat people are unhealthy people, place a disproportionate cost on healthcare, and die earlier. There's not much going for obesity, spread the word.
Geoff says:
Does the website also calculate how stupid the people who would use the website are?
"Your child will be big, and you're an idiot. A big idiot"
Michellemac says:
Its not exactly news…the higher the education levels and income levels of the parents, the less likely the children are to be obese.
We moved house and school recently from a middle income area to one which is a beachside high- socio-economic area and the most apparent visual difference is that the other local state primary school had a load of fat kids.. I would say close to 50% of them were overweight and some clinically/mobidly obese kids in there too. This new school, not a single fat kid at all, anywhere. Not even 'a bit chubby' they all look like healthy, normal weight range kids. They all have the same interests, play the same amount of sport, have the same mix of working/stay and home mums and same access to parks and play…the only differences are the incomes of the parents (assumed on house prices) and the lack of multi-national fast food franchises nearby.
Anjuli says:
It was always hard to buy age appropriate clothes for my eldest girl she was a size 14 at 10 years of age now at nearly 50 she is a size 8 looks terrific. Other daughter who was always size 8 up till 36 is now fighting against being in a size 12 on a small frame. The eldest was 8lbs 10ozs born the second 3lbs so go figure.
Pattem says:
Lucy wrote: "...surely the most important part of having a baby must be feeling excited about the new life that you're bringing into the world".
Absolutely disagree! The most important part of having a baby is ensuring that it receives the best possible environment and upbringing so that it has the greatest possiblity of success later in life!
Sickemrex says:
I don't know whether it's a completely ridiculous concept. There are many women who don't know much about nutrition and exercise during pregnancy. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and most currently pregnant ladies and mums I know think I shouldn't be, for no reason they can articulate. My doctor doesn't seem to mind! Most don't know what a healthy weight gain is. There are many things we can't influence about our child's future but nutrition and exercise pre and post natal is something we can affect IMHO.
Courtney says:
The stats in this para are useless as presented.
"Among US adults 20 years and older, 23.5% (approximately 16.3 million adults) of normal-weight adults were metabolically abnormal, whereas 51.3 per cent (approximately 35.9 million adults) of overweight adults and 31.7 per cent (approximately 19.5 million adults) of obese adults were metabolically healthy. "
so, can we compare these figures? Who knows?
Are there only two states, metabolically normal and abnormal? Who knows?
Does metabolically healthy equate to metabolically normal? Who knows?
Use one criteria and one state, i.e. healthy or not, normal or abnormal and this may become relevant.
Lazy writing.

Book Review: Fool
On to the review. I heard this author interviewed on the radio one day when I was driving by myself. The interview ended about 30 seconds before I drove past my local Borders, and I was in an impulse-buy mood that day, so ran on in. It's a comedy by Christopher Moore (never heard of him before), a bastardization of King Lear. He reflected that the Bard wrote for the common man, with common comedy, emotion, and vulgarity. And that's what he was going for here.
So he changed the story, added several hundred curse words and jokes about shagging, and turned a most tragic story into a comedy. And it's funny. It's sort of Shakespeare meets Princess Bride, but written for adults.
I have never read or seen King Lear (gasp), but you don't really need to in order to enjoy the book. If you're after a light read, something to make you laugh, and you're not easily offended, you just might like it.

My Scotty Cameron Moment
Junior Championship
"On the No. 18 tee, I was coming off of a double on No.
16 and a short one on No. 17 for bogey, so things weren't going well, said
Boys Division Champion Donald Stimble of Shell Knob, Mo. I ripped a drive and had a perfect lay
up to six feet away and finished with a birdie putt."
"It was definitely a lot better than the first two
days, said Michael Werenski of South Hadley, Mass., of his 3-under-par 69
round. It helped get my confidence up and led me to a lot of birdies."
"When I came to No. 9 and hit my approach shot to five
feet I thought to myself 'You know, I can do well on this back nine,' said Jordan
Lippetz of Bradenton, Fla., after a 2-under-par 70 that gave her a runner-up
finish. It kind of gave me some momentum going into the back nine."
Junior at Wenatchee
"I made a 20-foot slider for birdie on No. 15 and felt
pretty confident for the rest of my round," said David Won of Bothell, Wash.,
who fired a 6-under-par 66 in the final round.
"The highlight of my round was on No. 11 when I hit my
8-iron from 130 feet to about four feet, said Betty Chen of Castro Valley,
Calif., after posting a 2-under-par 70.
"That kept everything going on the back nine for me to shoot 34.
CorseMax / Philadelphia Runner Junior
"It makes it really special because there are so many
great people that have played on the AJGA and it really means to world to me,
said Sam Bernstein of Riverdale, N.Y., who won the Boys Division after a
sudden-death playoff.
"I stuck to my plan and put the ball where I needed
to," said Aurora Kan of Boothwyn, Pa., after claiming the Girls Division
title by 15 strokes. "I didn't
worry about other things."
AJGA Apawamis
"I played really solid," said Charles Edler of
Fair Haven, N.J., who shot a 2-under-par 70 to finish second. "On No. 14 I
rolled in a 35-footer for birdie and that gave me a real chance to possibly
have the win today. That was definitely a confidence booster for my
"I made a
scary long putt on No. 12," said Juliet Vongphoumy of Providence, R.I.,
who claimed her third straight AJGA title with a win at The Apawamis Club. "I hit a solid shot past the hole.
I had a little more than a 20-foot double breaker down the hill. I just tapped
the ball and thought it was going way by, but it hit the hole and it dropped,
which was big."
Houston Junior
It was only the second hole-in-one I have ever had, said
Boys Division Champion Juan Benitez of Puebla, Mexico, after his ace on No. 16
and 6-under-par 66 round. It is a great feeling. It feels better than the
first one because the yardage on this one was much longer.
I putted really well today and that definitely saved me on
a lot of holes, said Tezira Abe of Angleton,
Texas, who posted an even-par 72 to finish in second place. My driver was
working well for me too. I hit it too well on No. 18, right through the
fairway. I was just trying to shoot even par this round, which I did. Im
really happy with my performance, even though a win would have been nice.

Belaya, Loomans Fall In NCAA Doubles Championship
URBANA, Ill. - Playing its second top-10 opponent in as many days, the William and Mary junior tandem of Maria Belaya and Jeltje Loomans dropped a three-set contest to the No. 3-ranked Nebraska team of Patricia Veresova and Mary Weatherholt in the Round of 16 at the NCAA Doubles Championship. The University of Illinois hosted the 2013 NCAA Championships at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex.
After the Cornhusker pair took the opening set in a tiebreaker, 7-6 (3), Belaya and Loomans won the final two games of the second set in pulling out a 6-4 win to force a decisive third set. Veresova and Weatherholt jumped out to a 3-0 advantage in the third, before the No. 13-ranked Tribe pair closed to within 4-2. The Nebraska team, thought, won the final two games in registering a 6-2 win. Veresova and Weatherholt will face the UCLA team of Robin Anderson and Skylar Morton, a 7-5, 6-4 winner over Kansas State's Karla Bonacic and Petra Niedermayerova, in the quarterfinal on Saturday.
Belaya and Loomans, who competed in their second straight NCAA Doubles Championship, fell to 23-5 on the season. The Green and Gold tandem picked up its eighth win over nationally-ranked competition, downing the No. 10-ranked Auburn duo in the opening round of the NCAA Championship on Thursday. With the setback on Friday, Belaya and Loomans finished one victory shy of All-America honors, which is guaranteed to teams advancing to the quarterfinals of the national tournament.

*Ideal for out & about potty training*
Order in the next 5 hours 6 minutes for express home delivery on Thursday
Whether it's at home, or out and about, My Carry Potty is the only potty your toddler will ever need.
My Carry Potty was invented and designed by a mum for mums, to help with the challenges of potty training.
My Carry Potty is the new solution to potty training. It's lightweight, leak-proof and completely bag-free. It's designed with a unique lid that provides a completely watertight seal.
Made from a high quality, durable plastic that's easy on the eye, it's easy to keep clean. Best of all, kids love the bright attractive colours and the carry handle makes it easy for them to adopt as their own.
Not only is it perfect for when you are out and about, on holidays or long journeys it's also ideal for home and even nursery, especially if your child only feels happy with his or her own potty.
Sturdy and hard wearing, this travel potty will survive anything I expect. It is stable when being used so no spills so far, and easy to clean. Most importantly, my daughter loves using it and I don't have to carry a bulky potty around in a carrier bag. I'd definitely buy this again.
My 2 yr old son is quite happy to use this 'suitcase' potty (his words) when we are out and about. No leaks, a little bulky but at least we are not mucking about with bags!
This is a sturdy potty that can be used anywhere. My 3 yr old feels like a proper big boy with his OWN potty he can take with him. The only point I would make is its a little awkward to close and re-open again on his own.
My little one is a little young for this, but I bought it based on the reviews already on the site. He has taken an interest and the bright colour make it attractive to him. I can see this being a great addition for us as we travel a lot. I have in the past used travel potties with the bags, but the legs are not sturdy and if you are in a hurry then sorting out the bags can be a problem. This item is easy to unfold and use immediately with no fuss and can be sealed until a suitable place to empty can be found.
light enough for my daugther to carry, she loves taking it out and I dont have to worry about using public toilets which i hate, also great at home as an extra potty. can be difficult to clean in a sink when we are out and no place for wipes

Trappist Beer Night!
The Granddaddy of Them All: Westie 12. Hype and Expectation vs. Substance and Quality. This beer, quite likely, had to overcome the highest expectations of any beer I have ever had. Ever. Heck, we paid $28 for one bottle. This one had better blow my socks off, pick them up, throw them in the laundry with the whites, rinse, dry, press, and return to my calloused feet before I would be impressed (proverbially speaking, that is).
Short story: It impressed. Oh, how it impressed!
Big, rich, brie cheesy. Like opening a barn door on a dairy farm. Yeast jumping out of the bottle. Musky and manure-y. (Yes, that kind of manure.) Creamy, yet crisp. Complex flavors of dark fruits and figs. An aftertaste of aged red wine. Edgy, but not confrontational. Subtle and smooth, yet not without a wild streak. The Quad of Quads and Trappist of Trappists!
The Legend of the XII Lives. Long Live Westie 12.

A: Soapy and variable pale tan head on the initial pour was 3 fingers and settled to to a thin skiff across the entire glass. A hazy tobacco brown in colour with flakes of sediment suspended throughout.
S: Sweet, juicy dark dried fruits, Italian plums, black cherry, musky black grape and black figs mixed with spices of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Entirely sweet with brown sugar and caramel malts, similar to a slow baked and deeply dark christmas fruit cake. The alcohol notes of brandy offer a base note to support the sweetness and fruitiness while a subtle yeastiness is barely detectable in the background.
T: Bold and assertive the flavours are sweet and spicy, while offering unpinnings of woody earthiness and rum alcohol. The sweet notes come forward first with brown sugar and pales malts steeped with the sweet spices of cloves, cinnamon, all spice and nutmeg. Mid palette the belgian yeasts shine through, although recognizable as yeasts - this is unlike other quads and offers a distinct & unique flavour profile that tastes especially of ripe bananas and warm bread. Mid palette also reveals a woody earthiness and worn leather - suggestive some something old world and calling back to a old tradition of crafting. On the back end of the palette the flavours are of rum and alcohol esters - warming and delightful.
M: Slick and smooth in the front with a warm and smooth alcohol chaser at the back.
Slightly higher carbonation than other quads with pin pricks up front. Like a tiny jolt to waken the palette.
O: Unlike any other quads, Westy is unabashed in its bold approach to the complexity and mix of sweet, spices, yeasts, earthiness and alcohol presence. It's complexity is worth the price point and effort to search it out. The drink is worth sharing with another BA who'll enjoy and appreciate the experience & appreciate the complexity compared to quads. Good to note - Westy pairs incredibly well with strong cheese, dried fruit and a good BA buddy, do yourself a favour and get one to enjoy and savour.

Poured into a stemless tulip glass 4/20/2014:
A: Beautiful quad color, dark caramel, with a red tinge to it. Perfect lacing, pours an off-white finger head.
S: Smells faintly like a glass of red wine. Has a very fruity aroma like prunes and raisins.
T: Tastes just like it smells. Strong dark fruit aromas. Tastes like a solid quad.
M: Very, very carbonated. Almost too carbonated. I feel like the carbonation robbed some of the more subtle flavors from me. Fairly sticky, but overall decent.
O: Flavors are all there, the smell and appearance make this beer worth the wait. Mouthfeel was a slight letdown for me. Try it if you haven't, but don't go and invest in a six pack because you might be slightly underwhelmed.

My buddy went to Belgium and worked for about a week to get the monks to answer the phone so he could buy a case. This was the last beer from that case. What a treat.
A - A deep tobacco brown. Lots of floating sediment. Big cream head leaving some lacing.
S - One of the best smelling beers I have ever had. It was very hard to discern aromas because there were so many. Unlike anything I had ever smelled before. Dark fruits, brown sugar, caramel were what I smelled the most.
T - Didn't taste much that much like the smell, but like something entirely wonderful that I wasn't expecting. A tinge of heat from the booze but so many married flavors in there make the beer go down way too fast. I almost need to drink 2 or 3 more to pick it all out. Prunes, plums, yeast, raisins, brown sugar were what I was able to pick out.
M - Good carbonation, which I expected. Wasn't expecting that much sediment, but it never bothered me a bit. Creamy but not too thick.
O - A bucket list beer. It's like art. I was truly fortunate to have the opportunity to try one. It's magic. Would pay an $ amount for another bottle that my wife would never agree to.

Juicy plums are prominent in the nose, along with malty, bready undertones. It's surprising how crisp and prominent the fruit notes are. The taste is actually a solid reflection of the smell. Lively carbonation tickles the mouth while the dark fruit flavors, with a touch of blackberry, intermingle over a gentle bready background. The nose is beautiful yet somewhat understated, while the taste is bold and lively. It combines for one of the best beers I've ever had.
Cap numbers are 15.03.17.

Why Simms Waders?
Why GORE-TEX®?
- Product Care
GORE-TEX® Wader Care:
The #1 tip to prolonging the life of a wader is drying your waders. It is important to dry your waders out after each use. We recommend drying the inside first (if damp) and then the outside. When drying the outside you can pull your gravel guards up until the feet are dry and then flip them down to dry the rest of the wader
Washing - Use a front load machine or hand wash. Use cold water and normal detergent that does not contain bleach. Once you have washed the waders make sure you dry them properly start by drying the inside first. Never put your waders in the dryer, the heat will adversely affect the seam tape on your waders and will void your warranty.
Fit - We offer more sizes than anyone, a good fit goes a long way to extending the life of your wader. Make it clear that people should use their exact measurements as we have already provided extra room for layering and movement.
General Care - Do not store inside your car for long periods of time excess heat will damage your waders.
Use A Mat - Always put your waders on using a protective mat to shield the neoprene feet from rocks. The Headwaters gear bag for example has a pull out mat that works great for this.
Proper Layering - Do not wear jeans under your waders. Jeans are highly abrasive wearing on your waders from the inside out. More importantly jeans and sweatpants do not transfer moisture away from the body. Use proper layering (to view our layering collection, go here). Using layers such as these will help wick moisture away from your body and assist in the waders ability to breathe.
Stains - most stain removers will work fine on our waders. As long as the stain remover does not contain bleach you should be o.k.
- Technology
GORE-TEX® PRO SHELL outerwear is waterproof, exceptionally lightweight and offers the ultimate in breathability, durability and extended comfort. Constructed with a woven backer, GORE-TEX® Pro Shell garments slide easily over other layers and offer exceptional tear strength and internal abrasion-resistance.

6203 NE Hwy 99, Vancouver, WA | Directions 9866545.666956 -122.663905
Neighborhoods: West Minnehaha
Absolutely the best in the PNW area!!! – Afer living 40+ years in Southern Cal, visiting Baja often, I LOVE taco shops!! We moved to WA 6 years ago and was in deep with taco shop withdrawl...then we found Muchas Gracias!! OMG it's the best - its tastes exactly like what I grew up with...and now we drive 2+ hours every couple months to get our fix :-) The only thing I wish they could improve upon is adding locations above the Vancouver area! All the Mexican food in the Seattle/Kitsap areas are from the Mid-Mexico region...definately a different taste from Baja!!
Way better off at Taco Bell... – Service was fast. Price was fair. Portions were large. And none of that was worth ANYTHING because this was the single worst Mexican food I can remember having. Chicken taco was tasteless and grissly. Beans were straight out of a can and a disgusting gray color. Rice was ok but also pretty tasteless.. And my tastebuds are working fine!!! Restaurant was clean, but four walls had not a single picture to look at. No plants, no framed art, no character, no nothing. Guess that's Vancouver for ya!
Don't Go Anywhere Else For Mexican Food – Huge portions, and if you order extra anything, be aware... They REALLY hook you up. They're also faster than any other fast food ever. I've watched the cookes behind the counter making food and it's like they're robots or something! You truly do get your money's worth. If you choose Taco Bell over this place, you're insane. Fact: Five tacos from TB won't fill you up as much as MG's Carne Asada Nachos for about the same price, plus their ingredients are much more flavorful. I recommend checking out their full brochure menu to see what a huge variety they really have. The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is because someimtes they don't mark similar items. For example, my boyfriend and I ordered the same thing, only he wanted no guacamole because he's highly allergic. They didn't mark either one, so we had to kind of guess which was which.
There once was ancient Aztec tribe who didnt have any food so they prayed to the food god and he or she, we are not sure if it was man or woman, gave them the OREGON BURRITO. The Oregon burrito is the most superior food to all other foods. Picture this a warm piece of tortilla with lots of good meat chunks and cheese and sour cream. It is so good. I like to eat my Oregon burrito in the shower. Where do you like to eat yours. PS i married one! The honeymoon was AMAZING. I order my Oregon's with no salsa and sour cream. Just like my honeymoon. The best decision that you could make right now would be to go and get you a big fatty Oregon Burrito Mutha Licker!
Best in the area! – I hate to sound like one of those people who claims to know better than anyone else what good Mexican food is all about (authentic, the real deal, traditional etc) but I can tell you that I do some traveling and have eaten WAY more than my share of Mexican fare in Matamoros, Tijuana, Ensenada, Southern California, Southwest Texas etc etc and Muchas Gracias could fit right in with the best of them.
Nothing fancy or upscale; Just traditional down-to-earth Mexican food with the sort of flavors that old time Mexican food addicts expect when they travel south of the border or eat in one of the states that borders Mexico.
Everything is always fresh, the portions are generous and the menu has grown over time to include nearly every favorite that you could want.
The stand-outs; The Machaca is as good as I've had anywhere and the Burritos are just plain wonderful.
I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
Muchas Gracias – we just got take out at the Van mall Dr location. What a disappointment the burrittos it was half empty just wrapped dough and tastless.Doubt we would ever return and to think I was anxious to try it because it was so close to our home and thought it would be very handy for us!
muchas gracias, Muchas Gracias! – Muchas Gracias is AWESOME!
Their chicken burrito was filled with nothing but MEAT! Tacos are great, more meat(carne beef) and lettuce and shredded cheese. You can doctor them up as you want but I just loved the simplicity and generous helpings of good quality meat in their dishes. The taco shells are fried as ordered and no greasy. I will check out more in the very near future!
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Traditional Mexican food including tacos and burritos are served at affordable prices at the restaurant that offers fast service.
Simply the best. – Well folks having been born in the San Diego area and lived in Arizona for 15 years this is the real deal. Simply the best Mexican food. There is also one on Mill Plain and they just opened a new store on NE 102nd in Portland (Gateway area) by Fred Meyer. Just give them a try you won`t be sorry. Carne Asada to die for. Honestly I can`t think of one item I tried that I was unhappy with... Fast and friendly service is also a plus.
The Best Burrito in Portland/Vancouver – Muchas Gracis serves the best burrito in the area. Whether you like the asada ,carnitas or the chile rellenos burrito, you will not be disappointed. They serve the food either for consumption there or to-go. It's serve hot, fast, friendly and the price almost laughable. Not much on ambience but you can't win em all..
So if you find youself in the 'Couv, make.sure you make room for a trip to the Muchas Gracias at any of their several locations.

Serves 4
Salmon is one of the most popular fish in America. It is very easy to make salmon in a delicious and simple way at home. Start by choosing the freshest fish available and sear it in a very hot pan for a short time. The combination of salmon, fresh peas and pea shoots creates an easy, fresh and beautiful dish.
For the vinaigrette, stir all of the ingredients together in a bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
For the pea shoots, heat the canola oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the pea shoots and peas and cook just until the pea shoots are wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
For the salmon, preheat a griddle or plancha on high heat until very hot. Season the salmon slices on both sides with salt and pepper and brush them with canola oil. Sear the salmon on the griddle or plancha until golden brown and crusted, about 1n minutes on each side. A metal skewer can be easily inserted into the salmon when it is done, and when the skewer is left in the salmon for 5 seconds it feels just warm when touched to the lip.
To serve, divide the pea shoots and peas among 4 plates. Place 2 salmon slices on top of the pea shoots on each plate, slightly off-center from each other. Spoon the vinaigrette around the pea shoots and serve immediately.

1/29/2013Hands down the BEST salmon I have EVER had. This recipe is super simple to make and the vinaigrette gives the salmon so much depth and flavour -- seriously a recipe worth trying if you haven't already. The only thing I did differently was omitting the peas from the recipe and keeping the veggies to just the pea shoots (due to personal taste). I'm sure it didn't make a difference in the end, so many people I have made this for have raved on and on about it!
by HBush,
5/4/2012AMAZING!! We loved this recipe. I had to change one thing, I thought I had enough peas in my freezer & I did not so added a small bag of artichoke hearts as well to the peas & pea shoots. It was so good! I guess I changed one more thing, I really like lime so added about 1/2t of lime zest. This is a keeper - try it~

Street Sweeping & Spring Cleaning Begins Monday, March 24Each
year at the beginning of spring, crews from the Department of Transportation
& Environmental Services (T&ES) increase efforts to clean city streets,
helping to keep our neighborhoods and commercial corridors clean and protect
our waterways. Litter, debris, and leftover grit from winter road maintenance
can clog storm sewers and pollute our lakes and rivers. This year's
effort begins Monday, March 24 and will take approximately12 weeks to complete one
pass cleaning the City's 560 lane miles of streets. City crews will post
"No Parking" signs in some neighborhoods and conduct commercial corridor
sweeping at night. However, due to parked cars, some curbs are not accessible
to motorized sweepers. Residents can help by cleaning the curb in front of
their home and ensuring that nearby storm drains are not blocked. Street
sweeping debris can be thrown away during regular trash collection.
Residents can also request street cleaning on their block by using Call.Click.Connect.
or calling 703.746.4357 (HELP).
T&ES Prepares for Increased Spring TourismIn preparation for the City of Alexandria's annual increase in springtime tourism, T&ES has been working behind the scenes to make sure Old Town and other parts of the city are clean and welcoming for visitors, residents and businesses. City crews from Street Cleaning and Maintenance are spending extra time on King Street, including an overnight "deep cleaning" effort that included pressure washing street cans to remove dirt, stains, and chewing gum. Crews are also surveying sidewalks for necessary brick repairs and checking pedestrian amenities such as newspaper boxes, street lights and tree wells for necessary maintenance. Newspaper boxes no longer receiving new editions will be removed.
The Street Cleaning program is responsible for street sweeping and cleaning throughout the City. The crews sweep approximately 30,000 lane miles each year. The Street Cleaning program is also responsible for annual collection of leaves through the Annual Leaf Collection. All these programs keeps Alexandria's street aesthetically pleasing as well as safe.
For more information or concerns about street cleaning, please call 703-746-4410.
The Street Cleaning program is responsible for maintaining all ornamental litter collection containers throughout the City. The crews maintain approximately 800 litter collection containers throughout the City.
For more information about the program, please call 703-746-4410.
The City of Alexandria City Council approved the Adopt-A-Block Litter Program to promote partnerships between the City and Alexandria residents to maintain litter free neighborhoods and streets. The City's Adopt-A-Block program is modeled after the Virginia Adopt-A-Block Highway Program introduced in 1988 by the Virginia Department of Transportation to "Keep Virginia Beautiful".

The United States Congress
Who gets this important job of making laws? Congress! This is the legislature (or lawmaking group) for our country.
Congress is divided into two parts, the Senate and the House of Representatives. When the Constitution was written, this was the topic of a huge fight! The large states wanted a legislature where representation was based on a state's population; the more people, the power the state would have. Guess who disagreed? The small states! They wanted a legislature where each state had an equal say. How was this resolved? By creating a Congress with two houses. Let's see how this actually works!
Congress includes the U.S. House of Representatives, which is based on population. The more people a state has, the more votes it has in the House of Representatives. Each House member represents a district. The map to the right uses color to show the House districts in each state. The more colors, the more districts and people a state has.
How many House members does your state have? Click on the link, and then go to the 2nd drop down menu that allows you to see members by state. Find your state and click "View." How does your state compare with its closest neighbors? Click on those states to see who has more votes in the House!
Your House member cares what you and the other people in your district think. Why? Because you vote for him or her every two years! You can choose to re-elect that person or you can vote for someone else. Even though you may not actually vote yet, this person still represents you!
Who is your House member? Click on the link, and look in the top right corner where it says, "Find Your Representatives by ZIP." Enter your zip code. NOTE: If the +4 digits of your zip code are needed, the website will redirect you to the U.S. Postal Services website to find it.
Remember, we said there were two houses in Congress? The U.S. Senate is the place where each state gets the same number of votes. In fact, each state gets two Senators, which means two votes! The smaller states really like this because it gives them equal power with the large states.
Just like in the House of Representatives, a Senator's job is to look out for people's interests. But this time, they must think about more than just the people in a town or city. They are responsible for an entire state! Click on the link to see who your two Senators are! Select your state, and then click on the links to see your Senators' webpages.
House and Senate members have a really, really important job. They are in charge of making the laws that run this country!
How is a law made? It starts with having an idea on how to deal with a problem facing the country. House members and Senators are called legislators because they have the unique ability to write bills or legislation that could become laws. Watch the video clip to see how this happens!
Remember that large and small states wanted to make sure they each had a voice when laws were made? Well, the law making process guarantees this!
HOW is this guaranteed, you may ask? It's guaranteed because the SAME bill must pass the House of Representatives AND the Senate to become a law. You can imagine that with 435 House members and 100 Senators, there are a lot of different opinions on how problems should be solved. That's why COMPROMISE is a key ingredient in bills becoming law.
Congratulations! The House of Representatives and Senate have done the difficult job of creating a compromise bill and getting it passed through both houses. It's a law now, right?
Not so fast! The Constitution also guarantees "checks and balances." The President, a member of the executive branch, gets to decide whether to sign the bill into law or veto it. If he signs it, then the bill is law. If he vetoes it, then the Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority and the bill will become law. Time for congratulations! Watch the video clip to see how this works.

Service was awful. Waited 1 hour and still the food was not at our table. Will not return
AWESOME food, awesome service! – I can't say enough good things about this place. I've had a coupon for a while and just kept putting off going. Don't make the same mistake! We went back for a 2nd time within 3 days. Their menu is unique, not like all the other Mexican restaurants. More authentic Mexican dishes, amazing seafood items. The salsa was amazing, very unique. The corn tortillas are homemade and so good. The strawberry margarita was a bit strong, but I'm a wimp. The staff was very friendly and gave excellent service. I believe it's family owned and operated.
And OMG - you HAVE to try the crepes dessert. It rivals any crepe I had in Paris - I can't wait to go back for more!!!
This is on my new list of fave restaurants!
Tequila!! – It's lovely that a good restaurant has opened where the old Giss's restaurant used to be. Never could get myself to eat in a restaurant that was named after something left on the floor of a 70's porn flick. Anyhow....
Been by three times now.. first for appetizers, then for dinner with the boss on Monday and we just had to go back tonight. This is good stuff.
Salsa is different than everything I have tasted before. What makes it unique is the chile's they use. If I remember correctly.. sorry I enjoyed three of their watermelon special rita's tonight...Arbor chile is the base and a sweeter chile whose name just escaped me was added. We noshed through a bowl and half. Chips were thicker than most I have had with a great corn taste to them.....Happy Happy Joy Joy dance.
Items we have had and my thoughts:
Par de Huaraches: Cactus.. first time I have had this, and it was yummy with a scoop of their Salsa on it.
Ceviche: Was not as good as I expected, and seemed really over limed if that is possible. Might of been made the day before and steeped to long. I'm willing to give it another shot.
Taquitos al Pastor: Greasy, flavorful, and five to an order, which is plenty to share.
Pescado a la Veracruzana: Excellent fresh fish with crisp veggies in the Veracruzana sauce, served on a banana leaf. Classy, fresh and lite.
Pollo en Mole Blanco with Chicken: Mole was tasty with a deep rustic flavor and the Chicken Breast was cooked to perfection.
Enchiladas de Espinacas: Awesome in flavor with sauteed mushrooms, garlic and almonds. It is quite rich with flavors and possibly some of the best I have ever had.
A dish which wasn't even on the menu since my boss wanted something very hot and spicy with meat. What arrived was sorta like a pork and beef stew with many different chile's in it.. it was HOT, and yet surprising tasty. The chiles all worked well as one. It was a really grand gesture by the owner to even put this together.
Desserts we have had:
Nieve de Mole: Holy Crack... Ice Cream with the Mole sauce.. so refreshing and an interesting combination of flavors
Crepas de Limon con Salsa de Zarzamora: The creamy lemon sauce on the crepes was full of zest.. crepes were a little thick, but still soft and tender to the bite
Pestel de tres leches con Changos Zamoranos: Dear God.. this is what milk was made for.. Thank goodness for cows..creamy, sweet delicious sauce, crumbling cake to soak it all up.. I have to get the recipe for the tres leches.
Look, this is a local, small restaurant, trying to do well in a tough economy. It is a stumble, drop and crawl from my casa. We will continue to patronize it and enjoy the great, caring service. Watching them make little mistakes as they grow into a wonderful experience. So, get off your couch, take off the snuggie which you are filling with farts, and check it out.
Worst Mexican Food – Sine we go out often we thought we will try something different in mexican food & ended up in this restaurant yesterday. This one advertises as Interior Mexican food. So the only veggie options are salads & spinach quesadilla.
The good thing about this restaurant is the staff are good but the food is really bad both tastewise & costwise.
I ordered a chicken Mancho Manzalates which is $14.50 but the amount of chicken I got is less than what you would get for chicken parmiagiana in Italian restaurants. The beans did not taste good either.
The chicken tasted weird .When you chew initially it would have the chicken flavor & as you are about to swallow it tasted like fish & I guess they are cooking fish & chicken together which does not let either have their unique taste.There were few raw banana pieces cooked which tasted bitter. The mole sauce was also not good.he beans did not taste good either. Overall one of the worst tasted food I had.
The quantity of the food is only enough for a 10 year old & not an adult.
Unless they improve either quantity wise or quality wise, they are marching towards their end.
Interior Mexican Food in South Austin – We have been to Hecho en Mexico many times since they opened. The food has always been excellent (the mole is the best I have had) and you can't beat the service. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and so efficient. We love having such a quality restaurant in SW Austin.
Food Not Good – The taste of the food was disappointing and just plain not tasty, I ordered tacos that I could have made at home with canned chicken and store bought flour tortillas....my husband's enchiladas tasted strange. Also, having spent considerable amount of time in Mexico and sampling food from various regions, this did not remind me of anything I have ever had there. Maybe we ordered the wrong things but we do not intend on returning to find out.
Great Breakfast Tacos! – I was hungry when passing by the other morning before work. I stopped in and ordered a few breakfast tacos to go. They were delicious and filled me up for the morning! The staff was VERY friendly as well. I hear they serve a great margarita and will be back!
Best service In Town – Great Staff, extremely friendly. Really good food and fair prices. Everything tasted fresh and was not the same old boring TexMex. We will be back and think that you should give it a try.
The best interior mexican food in Austin!! – As a Mexican-born foodie, I can tell a good Mexican restaurant. This is it. By far, the most authentic interior Mexican restaurant I have found after 10 years of living in Austin. Everything we tried on the menu at Hecho en Mexico was really awesome .
The salsa borracha that came with the nachos was great but a bit mild for our taste. MIguel brough a tomatillo and habanero salsa that was phenomenal. Then we ordered mandarin Jarritos (a soda brand) and apetizers. Between 3 and 7 they have happy hour which means 50% apetizers. My wife loved the Ceviche, which was only $3.50 (after the discount) - a steal. The Huaraches were awesome, especially with a dash of sour cream. They were also $3.50.
I had the Enchiladas de Mole Poblano, which were as good as any I have had in Mexico. Very tasty and not too sweet. I have tried dozens of styles of Mole and this is very good. They also serve Mancha Manteles Mole (tablecloth stainer mole) which I will have to go back to try. My daughter had the Cochinita Pibil, which came with purple onion and wrapped in a banana leaf as it should. It was really tasty.
My wife had the Tacos al Pastor apetizer, they were so good that I had to order another set for me. A steal at $3.50 for 5 bite-sized tacos. The Tacos al Pastor were very tasty but not up to par with the rest. Still , I would have them again.
For desert we had Cajeta Flan. Boy, we love flan. My wife makes killer flan, this was just as good. It had only a hint of cajeta on topm of the caramel that comes with flan. The texture was fantastic. It was a great weay to end a great meal.
We paid about $52 for dinner for a family of four with apetizers and desert, in my book that is a very reasonable price. Considering how good the food was, it is a steal. For the other reviewer who said the restaurant was not authentic and expensive, you must have been to a different place.
If you want to try authentic interior Mexican food at a reasonable price, this is it. See you there!!
overpriced and not tasty. nice staff though. – I was hoping to have a new tasty fun place close to home, but no such luck. Its not awful but not good at all. We are not going back. Its not authentic interior mexican cuisine and its not tex mex either. It is very overpriced and there's no ambiance. The staff is nice and attentive but thats about all the positive we have to share. I wouldn't recommend it.

Kindle Touch is a new addition to Amazon's e-book reader family with a touch screen that makes it easier to turn pages, search, shop, and take notes - still with an e-ink display.
Amazon invented X-Ray, a new feature that lets customers explore the "bones of the book." With a single tap, readers can see all the passages across a book that mention ideas, fictional characters, historical figures, places or topics that interest them, as well as more detailed descriptions from Wikipedia and Shelfari, Amazon's community-powered encyclopedia for book lovers. Amazon built X-Ray using its expertise in language processing and machine learning, access to significant storage and computing resources with Amazon S3 and EC2, and a library of book and character information.
The new Kindle Touch is only US$99. Kindle Touch is available to customers in the US for pre-order starting today and will ship on November 21.
Kindle Touch 3G is a new addition to the Kindle family for readers who want the top of the line e-book readers, the vendor said. Kindle Touch 3G offers the same new design and features of Kindle Touch with the added convenience of free 3G.

Are you a member of a HMO but not getting the coverage you need for proper diabetes care? After finding a primary care physician who is sympathetic to your needs, you may need to contact your HMO and appeal for coverage for the services and equipment you need for good preventative care.
The following letter can be used when seeking coverage for an insulin pump, a blood glucose meter, regular hemoglobin A1c tests, access to a podiatrist, access to an ophthalmologist, payment of test strips for my blood glucose meter, or one of the many other essentials to good diabetes care. See page 20 for a list of quotes from respected professional medical journals regarding the importance and economic benefit of various diabetes care practices and products that can be used to support your request.
This letter is adapted from letter templates developed by Kriss Halpern, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., attorney who works with patients having disputes with HMOs.
As with all correspondence with your HMO regarding coverage, keep copies of this letter and all responses. In addition, Halpern advises sending letters like this one certified mail, return receipt requested.

Re: (Patient's name), (HMO's name), (Acct. No.)
Dear (Name of administrator):
I am writing with regard to the care and treatment (the HMO) is providing for my diabetes management.
As a type 1 (or type 2) diabetic on (your HMOs) plan through (insert your employer, university or whatever specific plan you are enrolled in), I am requesting that you provide me with (the service or product you are requesting). These/this diabetes management tool/care/service is crucial to the proper management of my diabetes.
The (requested service or product) could enable me to better control my blood glucose levels.
In addition, I will need annual eye exams and nerve and kidney tests. I will need blood tests taken every three months to determine my hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. This test measures blood glucose over a longer period of time than the blood glucose meter tests and is a better judge of long-term management. The results of this test are crucial in determining the degree of success of my blood glucose control program.
There are a variety of other services I will need to manage my treatment. Attached please find a copy of the Diabetes Coalition of California's Health Record (see page 23) which lists the minimal level of care necessary for a person with diabetes. Without the provision of these standard testing procedures, clinical studies, including the National Institutes of Health's 1993 Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), have shown that the likelihood of vastly more extensive and expensive complications is dramatically increased.
My hope is that I will convince your company to provide better diabetes care for me, and that other diabetics can enjoy the benefits of a smart and progressive management program based on tight control of the disease and prevention of its many complications.
If you have any questions, please call.
Yours Truly,
(Your Name)
