- 86 B food score very disappointedGreatfoodforfunDined on 11/24/2014The place was a bit noisy...tv's in the bar are Very visible from the dining room. Kills any sense of. Romantic Ambience. Seeing the food score on my way out dampened things more. A supposed high end fine dining establishment should never have a food score of a B.
- Always excellentMRTROPPVIPDined on 11/23/2014I eat at a lot of steak houses, and Flemmings is always one of the best in Atl, if not consistently the best - particularly for the price. The food is excellent, and the staff is always friendly and not too stiff. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Flemings perfect for the occasion.MeravigliosoDined on 11/8/2014I've eaten here several times before and the food is consistently good. Our waitstaff was very pleasant, bar got the martini order correct(no small feat), and the steaks were prepared to the correct temperature. Can't ask for more. Plus because it was my birthday, they treated me to four wonderful delicious chocolate truffles. Life's good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special DinnerCOB739Dined on 11/8/2014First time at Flemings, was greeted at the desk very professionally, birthday wishes were given to my wife immediately and told she would receive something later so very thoughtful. Our waiter Marcus took very good care of us and was very attentive to pour needs through out the night. Food was outstanding loved the Crab Cakes you have got to try them. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted great so easy to cut, Sides were enough for two which our waiter told us. You have got to try the Lava Cake it is to die for just like what you see on Master Chief when they cut into them with the chocolate flowing out like Lava. A outstanding birthday dinner will definitely make another trip to Flemings in the future.Special Features:
- Amazing ServiceCANDMDined on 11/5/2014We called ahead to let them know we were celebrating our anniversary and everyone from the managing partner who sat us to the waiters all congratulated us. And, they even had a signed card on the table! At the end of dinner, we received a beautiful gold box of truffles and a gift card toward our next visit. Wow!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- JMGAJMGAVIPDined on 11/1/2014A wonderful dining experience. The food was outstanding, we did all order steaks, as ....well, it is a steakhouse! 😊 I might have taken a half-star off service just because an extra place setting and used plates were not immediately removed from the table. But the floor manager stopped by several times to ask about our meal, the wait staff were knowledgeable, and friendly. In all, a very satisfactory meal...we will be back!Special Features:
- Fun at FlemingsAtlantaBabsDined on 10/28/2014We love to eat in the bar. There's a happy hour menu, light fare. The service is good and usually fun! The appetizers are good and we order a few at a time, usually two rounds for three women so we have lots of tasting variety.Special Features:
- Delicious But PriceyHotlantaGalDined on 10/27/2014This is a great place to go for special occasions. The food and service are OUTSTANDING!! Didn't get anything that wasn't delicious. It is a pricey night out though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- service, servicesewingsaboDined on 10/26/2014Loved the service. We dined at the bar. It was a fairly quiet Sunday. We received excellent service and had a delicious meal. Jerry Sinatra (partner) stopped and talked to us for awhile and our bartender/waiter Matt was wonderful. Will be back.Special Features:
- So wonderful!RemembererVIPDined on 10/26/2014Great service, adult dining, awesome food, and desserts-mmmmmmm! This was our first time at Fleming's but definitely not our last. Everything and everyone was there just for us! Superb!Special Features:

My wife and I tried the new Porter House for 2 and it was fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding fine diningCarolVIPDined on 10/23/2014This was my friend and my first visit. It is a pricey restaurant but well worth it. I usually rarely eat red meat. However, I ordered the mini fillet mignon, which wasn't so mini. It was a thick 8 oz. It was prepared to perfection. My friend had a filet with béarnaise which he really enjoyed. We ordered the sautéed spinach and mushrooms as sides, which were very tasty. The owner greeted us warmly and our server was cheerful and attentive, but not intrusive. We really enjoyed her service. We shared a very rich turtle chocolate pie. We couldn't finish it but thoroughly enjoyed it. Come hungry because all the portions are large. We will definitely return. I'm just sorry we didn't try Flemings sooner.Special Features:

- Very disappointing!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/14/2014The steaks were sub-par (I've had much better at Outback at half the price) and the the young waiter appeared inexperienced and inattentive to detail.

- Great find in DunwoodySteakman1234Dined on 10/10/2014My wife and I were originally going to go to Bones to celebrate our anniversary. We decided to check out Flemmings for the first time instead and were quite impressed. Great food, great service. Flemmings is a must do in the steak house category.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ATLfoodieATLfoodieVIPDined on 10/7/2014Everything we ordered was so good!! I will definitely go back very soon.Special Features:
- Food InconsistentAtlnativeVIPDined on 9/28/2014Time before this everything was fantastic. Service again very good. My a wife's filet was gristly vs like butter the last time and even the last few bites in the middle were impossible to cut much less eat, the onion rings were dark brown and way over cooked, very unusual, that is the one obvious thing the waiter should have noticed and not even taken out of the kitchen. My rib eye was good but way too peppery vs perfectly seasoned last time. Maybe the cook on a Sunday night is not the best who knows but the manager was nice enough to comp my wife's filet which we did not ask for or expect.
- Overall, it was good!WhitJDined on 9/27/2014I have to say that Fleming's never disappoints. The food was awesome, the Manager was great, but our server was all business, and only business. Not that friendly, outgoing personality. He did his job, he just did nothing to make it a memorable night. I think he was mad that we were visiting and not ready when he wanted to take our order, and after that we couldn't find him.Special Features:
- delightful experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/26/2014Went to Fleming's for the first time last weekend with my wife, for her birthday. It was great. Our server was excellent. The food was delicious. Overall a great time.Special Features:
- Improved GreatlyAtlnativeVIPDined on 9/13/2014My wife I loved the Flemings in Nashville when we lived there but were disappointed with our first two experiences a couple years ago in Atlanta after moving back. We decided to give it one more chance and we're very happy we did! The Ribeye and Filet were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The Beef Carpaccio, creamed spinach and onion rings were also fantastic. Just as importantly, our waiter Oji did an excellent job and we will be going back and requesting him.Special Features:

- Excellent steak!LambDined on 8/23/2014We go to Fleming's for special occasions and we are always pleased with the delicious steak, Fleming's potatoes and extensive wine list.Special Features:
- Jolly7Dined on 8/23/2014The Resturant was almost empty ...9 or so tables seated. We had reservations @7:30 and didn't get out of there, until 10:30. Service was very slow and the food was not worth the wait, steaks over cooked, salad fair and the corn side was awful. I will say we enjoyed the wine, it was wonderful.Special Features:
- DisappointingTonyDined on 8/23/2014We have always enjoyed Fleming's as a special evening out. This night my wife and I had the same basic meal--french onion soup, which was nicely above average, and the small plate sliced filet mignon, which was very disappointing. Her's was tasteless and mine was just OK. Really a let-down. Service on the other hand from Sean sparkled.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bitesizereviewDined on 8/22/2014We had eaten at Flemings several times before. I even hosted a private function for about 50 people there several years ago. Our most recent visit was polar opposite from our previous experiences. My friend's steak was overcooked (medium well rather than medium). It was a $50 + steak so that was disappointing. My 6 year old daughter ordered off of the kids menu. The meal was supposed to be served with veggies and ranch as an appetizer....they were never brought. The kids meal was about $15-----it was 3 French fries (literally) and about a 3oz piece of steak. The sad part was that there were less than a dozen tables while we were dining for our 8:30 reservations. The whole restaurant still seemed to be struggling to keep up.
- Good service not the best sidesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/20/2014The filet was well cook and tastes nice. The side items of asparagus and Flemings potatoes were not good at all. The potatoes were very average scalloped potatoes that were greasy and over cooked. The grilled asparagus was burnt in spots and over cooked. For the price all items should have been cooked perfectly.Special Features:

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Safer Internet Day. The theme for this year is 'Connect with Respect', and one of the big issues we wanted to focus on at Symantec Website Security Solutions is 'cyberbullying', which can happen across all devices and age groups, although it is particularly prevalent among younger people.
It's important for adults to educate their children about how to minimize the chances of getting caught up in cyberbullying, so our colleagues at Norton have put together the following top 10 tips for parents and care givers to ensure young people remain protected online:
- Don't give out your personal information – Don't put personal details such as your home address, telephone numbers or parent's work address online as cybercriminals can use this information to create a fake profile with your details
- What goes online, stays online – Use privacy settings to make sure only your friends and family can see photos you post. Avoid posting holiday plans as criminals have been known to track your movements
- Check your security and privacy settings – Make sure your social network privacy settings are secured so only your friends can see your personal information and use your privacy settings to restrict who can see your posts, videos and photos
- Password safety – Sharing your password with your parents is a sensible idea, but avoid sharing your password with your friends, even if they promise they won't tell anyone! Also, when setting your password, make sure it isn't something people may guess such as your pet's name. Use a mixture of letters, numbers and upper and lower case characters
- Always protect your mobile device – Make sure your mobile phone is pin-protected so all your personal information stored on it is safe. Download a security app which allows you to remotely wipe any personal data, should your mobile be lost or stolen
- Don't talk to strangers online or offline – Don't meet up with strangers and let your parents know if a stranger has tried to get in contact with you online. Often people you speak to online may not be who they say they are so only share your personal details on social media sites with friends, family and people you already know in the 'real' world
- Listen to the adults who know – Adults will always be worried about you. Help set their mind at rest and avoid chatting online with strangers or using the internet so long you neglect your real world activities and real world friends
- Be wary of unsecured or unknown websites – When shopping online, use reputable and known retailers. Make sure any transactions you make only take place across secure web pages which you can identify from the padlock sign in your browser address bar and where the address says https
- Be careful what links you click on – Avoid clicking links in an email, Instant Message or on your social network unless you are sure the message is from someone you know. Cybercriminals have been known to hack into your friends' email accounts and social networks to send emails or post messages claiming they are in trouble and asking you to transfer them money. Don't believe it if it sounds suspicious or offers something unrealistic
- Make sure your security software is up to date – Security software is now available on all types of devices; mobile phones, tablets and PCs. Make sure you have the latest security software on your devices to stay protected at all times.

The benefits of dance to a person's health and wellbeing have been recognised within community dance for many years. These pages are a growing and developing knowledge bank for you about many aspects of dance and the contribution it makes to health education, health care, teaching new ways to live, managing illness, and community development.
In the light of the increased interest and profile of dance approaches to supporting people with Parkinson's and dementia, we have included specific sections that recognise the growing interest in these fields. It is our intention as work in other clinical areas is developed to profile those areas as well.

It supports the development of high quality public engagement work that has impact. Its annual national competition showcases the best public engagement projects that have been produced by universities. The University of Roehampton's research on dance for Parkinson's was named as a Finalist for its excellence in engaging with the Dance for Parkinson's Network UK, people with Parkinson's and other stakeholders. The competition saw over 230 entries. You may read about the research on:

Eating at someone's home
- w
- Whitemarshjohn Jul 22, 2007 06:04 PM
When I was a kid we would sometimes go for Sunday dinner at a distance relatives house. They were Italian and the women (an older woman and her daughter) would wake up really early in the morning and prepare a meal for their family that was spectacular. Is there a way you can pay to go to someone's home for a home cooked meal - like an ethnic meal such as Italian, Portugese or other group that is known to have good food? I was thinking that it would be the coolest thing - more exciting then going to a restaurant.
You might have a better chance if you barter. Another alternative is to select a theme and hire a chef for the night. One drawback is you wouldn't get to meet some great new people (besides the chef), and then there's the question of authenticity, ugh. I think it's time to get a wider and more ethnically diverse circle of friends. That always works well, (for me at least) and an invite soon follows. ; ) Chef ---> http://www.chef4thenite.com/
In old world tradition I do Sunday Suppers at my house every other week. It was a way for me to share my love of food, friends and family and meet new people. People came the first week and were encouraged to bring others.
Now, we've morphed into three locally well known chefs, a wine store owner and a bunch of food hacks (me included) who enjoy a great meal together. It also opens up many more chances to get to see other/traditional cooking at other locations.
Food people begat food people.
that DOES sound like the ultimate food experience.
The only way I have found to do this, is to be very very nice to my friends with food-oriented families. If you look pathetic enough, you will eventually be adopted.
I am thinking that with laws governing commercial kitchens, this would not be possible unless it's an informal arrangement. In other countries I know this does exist. For example dining in a private residence in HK (called Private Room Dining) is all the rage.
In California, there are several Basque style Restaurants. I occasionally get the "Sunday Dinner" experience there.
I am thinking I saw an article in one of the food mags in the past year where there was a service that would arrange just such a thing for you. It might have been in Saveur. The service would pair you with families in a number of cities throughout Europe for a fee.
re: piccola
I've been a member of one for many many years. If anyone wants some tips or pointers or suggestions I'll be glad to share our groups guide lines and how we work.
That would be a wonderful experience. There are plenty of foodies that you could feasibly organize something like that here.
It is, however, a common practice in Italy. Many tourists participate in this program. http://www.homefood.info/
I realize this is an old posting but it's worth a shot. I live near a University in California and I love to entertain and cook. In Mexico I helped my mother open a "Fondita" where she serves lunch out of her house. She has "regulars" that come to eat her wonderful cooking. The setting feels like a home away from home for the people that eat there and the conversations are always fun. Dinners are like extended family for my mom. I would like to set up the same type of thing out of my home in California. Any ideas on how to advertise?
re: Trenzas
I'd check out local health codes before advertising, if I were you. Once you got that squared away, then get the word out at your local UC campus. At my university, one professor's wife used to cook Sri Lankan meals every week and deliver them to her clients, but it may have been an informal arrangement, as she didn't advertise (think it was all word of mouth). There may or may not have been the local health dept. involved. Not exactly your planned situation (you want folks at your home), but you might want to start with a few known regulars and let them take care of the advertising for you!
ETA: you might want to start a new thread with a clearer subject line. I'm sure you'll get more (and better) advice that way.
Not sure about going to their house but you can ask them to cater for you, not even talking about a chef here but just a good home cook who does a specific ethnic food. I did this before.

When Rob Ryan was fired by the Dallas Cowboys he told the press that he was not worried about finding a job. He said that he would not be unemployed for no more than five minutes. Well for Ryan it took a bit more than five minutes, but he is now employed by the New Orleans Saints as their defensive coordinator. Saints Head Sean Payton spoke about the hiring of Ryan. He told reporters this weekend, "We have experience in preparing and playing against his defenses and they've always been challenging in terms of the different looks and pressures that they feature. We've had the chance to visit with each other and talk about our visions for our team and I'm excited about moving forward as we prepare for the 2013 season." Payton who was recently reinstated back as the head coach of the Saints after his suspension of "Bountygate" fired Steve Spagnuolo . Steve was the defensive coordinator this past season for the Saints. Payton wants the Saints defense to be a 3-4 scheme as opposed to the 4-3 defense they used this past season. The Saints allowed the worst single season total of number yards in NFL history last year with 7,042 yards allowed. Ryan has run the 3-4 defenses while in New England, Oakland, Cleveland and Dallas. "I have had the opportunity to get to know Sean Payton and his staff a bit better recently and I am excited about joining the team. I'm ready to get to work on all facets of the game. This is a great opportunity and we're getting started right away." Ryan released that statement this past weekend once he was hired by the Saints. The Saints also hired Stan Kwan to be their new special teams coach. With over 20 years of NFL coaching experience the Saints thought hiring Kwan was the right move. Sean Payton commented on Kwan's hiring by saying, "Stan is a veteran coach that understands all nuances of the special team's game. He has a wealth of knowledge and I believe he will be a good fit."

Help Me Leave LA With No Regrets!
Dearest Hounds,
It is with equal amounts of sadness and excitement that I must announce that I will be leaving this chowhounder's paradise of a city sometime in late Summer / early Autumn, as my girlfriend and I depart for the equally hound friendly city of New Yawk! Yes, it's almost time for graduate studies in the Big Apple, and so we've made a list of things we must do/see/experience in LA before we leave, and eating our way through the city's essential restaurants is high upon that list.
Here's where you come in. We're hoping you can help us refine our list of "musts" -- perhaps some of the restaurants you'll see below aren't worth the time or money (let us know!), or perhaps you'll think of a "must" that we've not named. In many ways this may turn out to be a list of Southland "ABSOLUTE MUSTS" - as much for inimitable L.A. ambience and style as for the food.
Since we're all given to our own interpretations of what constitute's a "must" restaurant, and because their are so many, many restaurants to try here in L.A., you may want to limit your recommendations to a small handful that you love and find absolutely essential - the 2 or 3 places you'd hit up one last time if you were leaving L.A. Say, maybe 1 high-end, 1 hole-in-the-wall, 1 off-the-beaten-path, 1 classic. Something like that.
In an effort to narrow the field, below you'll find both restaurants I've tried (on multiple occasions for most), and restaurants I'm hell-bent on trying before I leave. I'm primarily interested in restaurant recommendations that don't appear on either list - but you can of course give a hearty thumbs up (or thumbs down, for that matter) to anything on the lists.
So here goes.
For local "treasures" (I know some will quibble with a few of the restaurants listed here), I've done the following:
Krua Thai, Zankou, El Taco Nazo, Pie-N-Burger, John O'Groats, Tonny's, Polka, Marston's, In-N-Out (meh), the Polish place in Santa Monica (the name escapes me.. Warsaw?), Burger Continental (..kidding..), Sapp Coffee House, Mission 261, Ocean Star, Pho So 1, Rosalind's, Merkato, Bombay Cafe, Versailles, Phillipe the Original, the Pantry, Dots Cupcakes, Sweetlady Jane, Violet's Cupcakes, Porto's, Valentino, Mi Piace, Pinks, Diddy Reese, Asahi & Ramenya, Yujean Kang's, Crustacean (I know.. I know.. but still, it was at one time a destination restaurant, for the hype, if nothing else), Sam Woo BBQ, Canter's (bleh), C&O's, Fosselmans, Dr. Bob's, Aux Delices, Euro Pane, Angelique Cafe, Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles, Knoll's Black Forest Inn (R.I.P.), Apple Pan, Mama Voula's, Lawry's Prime Rib, La Paella, Chan Dara, Palms Thai (Vivaaa Thai Elvis!), Wat Thai, Red Corner Asia, Ruen Par, All India Cafe, Tanino, Soleil Westwood, Akbar, Azeen's, Nepal Tibet House, and Mozza (I'm sure I'm forgetting quite a few).
I've also worked my way through many of the local ethnic enclaves: I've had great haleem and frankies in Artesia, fantastic dim sum in SGV, great Oaxacan in West LA, solid Armenian fare in Glendale, wonderful doro wat and tibs on Fairfax, soulful soul food in Altadena, and a slew of memorable Mexican meals all over L.A.
For full-on ambiance spots, I've done Inn of the 7th Ray, Ritz-Carlton Huntington, and La Boheme. That's about it, really. Of those, The Inn of the 7th Ray was especially lovely.
That said, here's what I've not had:
In the high-end dept, I have resolved to save up for meals at Spago, Urasawa, Providence, Melisse, Patina, Cut, Morton's, Hotel Bel Air, and Mastro's.
A meal in K-Town. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never experienced real Korean BBQ.
A meal in Little Tokyo. I'm not even sure it's the best destination for great Japanese.. but maybe there's something worthwhile there?
A (truly good) meal in Chinatown. I've had substandard Chinese there, but nothing to rival what's available in San Gabriel, Monterey Park, Rosemead, and Alhambra.
Further South, I've yet to make a trip to Little Saigon. Any consensus on which restaurant might be the surest bet if making a trip down there?
I've also not done (but have been meaning to try - and will before I leave): Tacos Baja Ensenada, Clementine, Parkway Grill, Arroyo Chophouse, Raymond Restaurant, Shamshiri, Babita, Lares, Meals By Genet, Langers (though I did buy a loaf of rye bread there), Saddle Peak Lodge, Bay Cities Italian Deli & Bakery, Brit's (Pasadena), Casa Bianca, Brent's, Nate & Al's, Matsuhisa, Nobu, Cafe Bizou, A.O.C., Water Grill, Susina, Rosebud Cakes, Campanile, Angelini Osteria, Patina, Angeli Cafe, Scoops, Bulgarini Gelato, Papa Cristo's, The Ivy, Shahrzad, Asia De Cuba, El Pollo Inka, Tam O'Shanter, Gyu-Kaku, Trader Vics, and Ortolan.
Now then... what remains? I'm sure there's more than just a few hot little spots that you think are missing here.. Let me know!
As always, thanks so very much in advance - your help is always greatly appreciated!
Fill up on Hamburgers and Mexican food and Thai food (there is approximately 1 decent Thai place in NYC) and eat outside a lot. Skip mediocre delis, places they have in both cities (i.e., Asia de Cuba - I've been to the one in NY and LA and the food is identical), cupcakes (it started in New York), and if you're trimming, steakhouses (the ones in LA are perfectly good, but in the end a steakhouse is a steakhouse, and NYC has perfectly good ones too). NY also has a wider variety of Indian food than L.A. and generally better quality.
re: Amuse Bouches
I second this. Especially the Mexican and Thai food.
There MUST be a decent burger in NYC, but I never go there looking for one. I go to NYC to eat Italian, Greek and pizza.
If you are tight for money, I'd skip all our high-end restaruants in L.A. NYC has dozens of high-end restaurants with similar food. Spago, Providence, etc. all have lovely food and nice decor for special occasions, but nothing better than NY has.
Concentrate on the food you won't be able to get: Chinese (all regions), Mexican and Thai. I'm not even going to recommend my faves here. Everybody else will have the same restaurants listed. But just know this: When my brother and I went back East for college many years ago, the FIRST thing we both did upon returning to L.A. was hit a taco truck! What does that tell ya?
re: WHills
they have beard papa in NYC, I believe in upper west
re: radgirl
Then go to Chantilly in Lomita... I don't think they have one there, or a choux filled with sesame mousse (but then again, NY seems to have everything LA has, only purportedly better)... and their cream puffs are head and shoulders above BP. Or spend 7 bucks and get a 16-box of mini puffs at Angel Maid in Mar Vista... Put them in a cool spot away out of reach, or you will have finished the whole box by the time you get home...
re: radgirl
the first one in nyc opend b'way and 8th street in gvilliage, but now there are a number all over the city
re: NYCnowLA
What do you think of BP's cream puffs? Some here on the LA blog have a strong opinion about them, both good and ehh...
re: bulavinaka
eh. not my type. thankfully!
re: NYCnowLA
Was great in the sense of a novelty on the first try... After that - not my type either - had to go our seperate ways after the first date...
re: bulavinaka
I think BP's cream puffs, particularly the cream, is meh.
I'd swing a vote for Susina. Pei who has discerning eye and palette for anything that is enfused with the four major food groups (sugar, cream, butter and flour) just went there and based on her ecstatic posting, I'd say she was reaching for a cigarette afterwards... ;)
ooy. you really need to hit the south bay for proper japanese food, especially non-sushi. we're talking izakaya, ramen shops, and other noodle houses. this is a must before you leave; though NYC has great japanese fare, LA is really the epicenter of the stuff, being right on the pacific ocean and having a large (though still relatively small) population of japanese ex-pats. that said, here goes:
(all restaurants in the south bay unless otherwise noted)
yakitori: shin sen gumi, torimatsu
yakiniku: tama-en, manpuku (sawtelle) or (if you can get an in) "teriyaki house on pico" (west LA)
udon: sanuki no sato, kotohira
soba: ichimi an honten (downtown torrance location), otafuku
izakaya: musha, kan yuzen, izayoi (little tokyo), haru ulala (little tokyo)
ramen: santouka, hakata shin sen gumi, gardena ramen (there is a santouka in new jersey, i believe, so you you're not entirely out of luck there...)
a tour through koreatown is really, also an imperative. LA has the single largest korean population outside of Seoul. and the korea "town" in NYC pales in comparison to what we have here. think about that for a minute! there are more koreans in LA than in any other city IN KOREA. i pretty much consider k-food second only to mexican food in terms of being definitive "LA cuisine" these days. that said:
(all in koreatown unless otherwise noted))
cold noodles: u-chun
bbq: chosun galbi, soot bull jeep
soon tofu: beverly soon tofu, bcd, so kong dong
porridge: san, bonjuk
korean soup noodles: olympic noodle house
i'm sure there's a lot i'm missing, but try to hit some of these for sure!
re: rameniac
You don't like Ma Dong Gooksoo?
My wife loves it and I think it's a great value, especially if you've never been before.
Yongsusan is also unique (IMHO) in its cuisine and ambiance. Not to be missed.
re: rameniac
Wow - very helpful -- thanks! I love how you broke it down by specialty. Many thanks. I'll give 'em a try before I leave and write up a few reports while I'm at it!
re: rameniac
I second Chosun Galbee for Korean bbq! Their short ribs are particularly amazing.
You seem to like bakeries/cupcakes so I would recommend Yummy Cupcakes in Burbank. Their breakfast-esque cupcake with a streusel top and a little vanilla buttercream is especially good.
I would go to my favorite sushi spot, Sushi Katsu-ya in Studio City and have crispy rice with spicy tuna one last time.
Hmmm...you've already hit most of my other favorites, at least the ones I'm able to think of right now.
You HAVE to try Clementine--the chicken salad, chocolate chip cookies and Moravian sugar bread are especially good.
And yes, try The Ivy once. It's fun, the food we had was pretty good and our server was surprisingly nice.
If you take a romantic weekend trip to Santa Barbara (and why not?) go to La Super Rica!!
re: rameniac
more koreans in LA than in any other city IN KOREA. huh. 10 milions koreans in seoul. i dont think la has anything over that.
i ditto rameniacs recommendations tho.
re: doughnut
doughnut...it appears that he said 'largest pop. OUTSIDE of korea'
that's similar to what i say about long beach, largest pop. of cambodians, outside of cambodia
re: doughnut
heh from what i've heard, it's outside of seoul. (and maybe pusan, i dunno). but don't quote me on that... just one of those unofficial bits of pop knowledge you get whilst tooling around one night with some k-friends.
Oh yes - I see you have Sweet Lady Jane listed under, "local treasures." Based on the recent thread running with 49 responses - almost all very critical, I think you might not want to reco to NY friends coming out here. Otherwise they will start a new cateogory - maybe "Curse of the Black Pearl," would be the new heading... Those 49 responses were after editing out the ones that were really tough to read...
re: bulavinaka
Really? I've had nothing but good experiences at Sweet Lady Jane. Maybe I've been lucky? I know some people say their creations are on the sweeter side, but I've had no complaints. That's too bad that it's got such a poor reputation.. Seems a nice enough place for me!
re: sanangel
I am sorry to say that the current thread is extremely negative with no staunch defenders... this level of vociferousness is rare in my short experience on this site. I too love their products from every angle. However, there seems to be a consistantly growing resonance about the quality of certain cakes there, particularly their signature Triple Berry Cake. It sounds like it may not be the quality, but the "age" and/or the handling/storage of the cakes. While I have yet to have a bad dessert item there (service issue is another matter), many have said that the cakes have been dry and the frosting has been hard, smelly, and tasteless. This sounds like old cake that's been sitting in an open refrigerated environment for too long. I would think that they would have no turnover issues at their retail counter which always has been busy on my visits. Might they be rotating in their refrigerated cakes from Gelson's that are near expiration? Should they be covering their cakes with a glass or plastic dome to protect the cakes? I don't know, but I have a hard time seeing how SLJ would have such night&day differences in the quality of their cakes. As bad as the postings have been about service, I just couldn't imagine SLJ allowing their quality slip with baked items leaving the bakery - shelf life and handling are different issues but just as important.
I don't want you to leave LA with bad feelings about SLJ, but I would wonder how future recs for SLJ to friends visiting here might reflect upon you... there are so many great choices in this general area of LA that fall into the same category...
re: ChefJune
Yes, but I believe Nobu gained his fame here in LA (Matsuhisa)... and I'm sure Peru, Argentina, and even Alaska can say the same... Seems he's been a gypsy throughout the Americas for most of his adult life... who knows where life will take him next... truly an amazing talent.
re: bulavinaka
self-edit (replied to wrong person)
re: ChefJune
Anytime I went to Matsuhisa, I would see Nobu there walking around smiling away. I have never seen him in Malibu at Nobu nor did I see him at Nobu in NY - although I did see Martha Stewart there. And I never saw him at Ubon.
But of all of them, Matsuhisa is superior, maybe because the chef is in the house. I'd pick Matsuhisa as the best high end place too.
As for others, I really love the little neighborhood place Azami for sushi. Sonora for southwest and great margaritas. Susina for dessert.
I agree with poster above, don't bother with any delis. Focus on Mexican and Japanese. NY has way better Chinese food. Other than Apple Pan for the old LA experience, I just don't think any burgers out here can hold up to NY burgers. Steak too, just better on the East Coast.
re: Food Good
Haven't been to any of the places mentioned in your first 3 paragraphs but regarding the last paragraph - I would suggest focusing on the great and varied Mexican from carts, tables and trucks to the restaurants such as the recent CH score Sabor A Mexico (thanks Dommy!), Tacos Baja Ensenada and yes Das Ubergeek, El Taco Nazo or Senor Baja or whatever they are now called, to Babita Mexicusine, La Huasteca and don't forget La Casita! I would also focus on the great Japanese food that is posted about so often on this board from bargain to the very high end sushi and great noodle houses and all the rest! And don't forget THAI in L.A. with so many good places in Hollywood's Thai Town and NoHo's Thai area plus Wat Thai L.A. on weekends! I do like The Apple Pan a lot and would toss back a Hickory and a Steakburger X-tra Rare with a Well Done Fries and an Iced Coffee with real cream and a Banana or Cherry Cream Pie. I will say that the supreme burger of my life was at a place in Manhatten in 1987 called Jackson Hole Wyoming, washed down with an Egg Cream, bill was a little over $10 which was high for '87 but worth every penny and more! Best steak I ever had was also in N.Y. on that same trip, can't remember the name but they had sides of prime beef hanging behind glass as you walked in, I feasted on the largest N.Y. Strip with all the great sides, Grandpa paid and I was a happy camper. Well we wern't really camping, we were guests of Leona H. ah I guess that's off topic but yea steaks in N.Y.
re: Food Good
I would say L.A. is MUCH more of a hamburger town than NYC, and while there's more varied Chinese food in LA, there's great Chinese food in NYC and it's more widespread (ie, Chinese food in the SGV is great, but sucks on the westside. You can get good Chinese food all over NYC)
re: ChefJune
The "real" Nobu is in NY? The first Nobu/Matsuhisa was here in LA. I love that place for its chi-chi factor, impeccable service and melt-in-your-mouth sushi. For me, it's a "When Harry Met Sally 'I'll have whatever she's having'" experience.
Definitely agree on your Urasawa destination.
Not necessarily a "must," but Campanile's grilled cheese night.
Concur on Mexican food as well... check recent threads for recs.
Skip Gyu-kaku and head somewhere else more authentic. Go to Soot Bull Jeep.
Jin Patisserie might be somwhere else.
I don't think Trader Vic's is a must at all, nor is Cafe Bizou or Nobu.
Mashti Malone's for rosewater ice cream and specialties.
Sawtelle restaurants are a good bet.
Orris and Blue Velvet are both good too.
I would definitely add Soot Bull Jeep to the list, as mentioned already. Santouka. Michael's and Spago (old school California cuisine) and then Grace and Mozza (new school California with a twist).
I would say hit up The Counter, Apple Pan, Pie N Burger, Father's Office and all other contenders for Best Burger.
Little Saigon has no consensus -- hence the thread that's trying to create a glove box guide (that's how many spots there are). Definite must try's are the nem nuong cuon at Brodard's, and 7 Courses of Beef at Pagolac or some other spot.
re: David W
Agreed . . . close out LA with a Babita and Providence weekend. You will not be disappointed.
Golden Deli or Vietnam House (bo bay mon, 7 courses of beef, at the latter) for sure. Also the whole fish at Phong Dinh on Rosemead (and their ong choy) is really good too. There are equivalent places in Little Saigon but I haven't been to any of those so YMMV.
Caroussel (Hollywood edition, better food IMHO) or Maran and/or Arax (I'd say you needed to visit Sahag's Basturma but it just isn't the same since he went back to Lebanon). I have trouble imagining anywhere else outside of Armenia that has as many Armenians as Glendale.
China Islamic maybe? Not sure if there are any Islamic chinese places in NYC.
Koreatown -- Soot Bull Jeep, Sa Rit Gol, Yongsusan, and Ma Dong Gooksoo are my picks
If I were packing my bags and leaving I'm sure I could come up with others ;-)
You should definitely load up on Mexican and Korean, IMO. Here are the places I would almost certainly miss if I left LA:
shik do rak: good place for bbq with noodle wraps.
chosun galbi: bbq with very nice ambiance
sokongdong: soon tofu, excellent side appetizers.. spicy pickled crab!
yu chun: cold noodles, great on a hot day.
busan sushi: Korean-style sashimi combo, you gotta try it.
jin patisserie: what better way to spend a lazy afternoon, than to have tea and cakes outdoors?
wakasan: prix-fix japanese izakaya. always packed, call ahead to book a table.
There is a dearth of Vietnamese food in NYC. If you head to Little Saigon, stop in to Quan Hy on Bolsa and Brookhurst and have a plate of the steamed, flat rice cakes topped with shredded shrimp. It's called banh beo. I've had this dish in many places all my life and it all pales in comparison to Quan Hy's rendition. It's the one thing I lament not being able to get anywhere else. Also, I second the rec for Nem Nuong spring rolls at Brodard's and grab a sandwich at Banh Mi Che Cali while you're at it. Bon Voyage!
re: hch_nguyen
Thanks for the recommendations - I've long desired to take a gastronomic trip to Little Saigon, and now I have even more reasons to go.
Sad to hear NYC doesn't offer much in the way of Vietnamese cuisine. Along with Thai and Korean (which I understand are in similarly short supply in NYC), Vietnamese cuisine is a longtime fave. What will I do without good bahn mi? Pho? Bun? Imperial rolls? Etc, Etc? =(
re: sanangel
No problem. There are a few merely passable Viet places in NY's Chinatown, but the lack of variety and quality of my native cuisine definitely was a sore spot for me when I lived there. If you do go to Quan Hy, they do a pretty decent version of Bun Bo Hue, too, which is Central Vietnam's more vibrant answer to the standard and more popular Northern Vietnamese pho. You'll be lucky to get the standard kind in NYC much less the Central Vietnamese kind, so might as well add it to the list if you'll be there anyway. Cheers!
Because when you get to NYC you can then truly appreciate what a great dog should taste like.
This will definitely make you have no regrets about leaving LA ...
Try Rahel on Fairfax. beats rosalind's. So does Messob and meals by genet. rahel is my fave.
In the Valley, do Woodlands Pure in Chatsworth
Follow Your Heart in Canoga Park
Gorikee in Woodland Hills.
Alcazar, Haru tea house and Sushi 4 on 6 in Encino
Il Tiramisu and Midori AYCE Sushi, Leda's Bake Shop, and Nata's pastry- all in Sherman oaks
Hugo's, Gangadin, and Asanebo in Studio City
Have you hit the Wat Thai temple in NO Ho (I found your list laid out in a hard to read lump!)
Vegatable delight Vegie Chinese in Granada Hills (over 100 mock meat and veggi chinese items, like veggie shark fin soup and orange chicken and even better!)
Alexis Greek Cafe in Northridge.
Inn of the Seventh ray and Saddle Peak lodge in Malibu. Ok that's not the Valley, sort of between places!
Go up north to Sb and hit a few places there before you leave. Ask on the "California" board
I second the suggestions for Soot Bull Jeep. I'd also highly recommend Dan Sung Sa on 6th and Berendo, which is ridiculously fun and tasty, too. (http://infinitefress.blogspot.com/200...)
Also not to be missed is a taco/cupcake tour (starting with Tacos Baja Ensenada in East L.A. and ending at Sprinkles BH -- sounds crazy but take my word for it, or my friend's: http://infinitefress.blogspot.com/200... )!
Welcome to NY (soonish!). Just moved back from LA, and here are some thoughts:
Mozza: Apparently, the menu at Otto is almost exactly the same, but I did love my meal at Mozza!
Gyu-Kaku: Now exists in NYC as well
Angeli Cafe: I disagree with other posters. I have not had a good meal here, and I would say that the thing I missed MOST about NY living in LA was the small, neighborhoody Italian....I could give you a list that price and qualitywise blow Angeli out of the water. On some level, the same could be said of Angelini Osteria. My meal at Angelini was great, but I still think that NYC Italian blows them out of the water.
I would focus on Thai (not as readily available in NYC), MEXICAN, well-priced sushi, MEXICAN. And did I mention Mexican?
re: PetiteSyrah
PetiteSyrah, I have to agree with you. All that I thought as I read the OP was Mexican, Mexican, Mexican.
Sanangel, please be sure to frequent anywhere on the list that serves good Mexican food several times before heading to NYC. Maybe eat a bowl of pico de gallo (not a cup, but a bowl), before going too. :-)
re: katkoupai
Maybe even splash it all over their clothes and behind each ear so they can carry the scent with them for a while... it will be a long time before they get another taste even remotely close to the good stuff...
re: PetiteSyrah
On well-priced sushi, be prepared to pay almost 2x in NY what you're used to paying in LA. There's good sushi in NYC, but it does hit the wallet harder. As far as Japanese goes, I would go for yoshoku foods, like the stuff at Sawtelle Kitchen, or Bistro Laramie in Gardena. Can't find much of that stuff in NYC yet. On Mexican, that's arguable. One of NYC's largest immigrant groups in the last decade have been from Mexico, so there's actually a swelling population as well as some good eateries. But they are mostly out in the outer boroughs, so it's just harder to find. However, most of these immigrants are from one state in Mexico (Puebla), so you'll find lots of mole poblano, chivo, and cemitas and specialties from that region, but it's really difficult to find other Mexican regional cooking, like from Oaxaca or Yucatan or Veracruz or Baja, etc., so concentrate on those while you're still in LA.
What hasn't been mentioned yet is Cambodian. NYC has no Cambodian food to speak of, while there's plenty to be had in Long Beach. Vietnamese in Little Saigon is a no-brainer. Also get as much Persian as you can. There's not any good Persian restaurants in NYC, especially compared with the plethora available in LA. Armenian as well. There might be one Armenian restaurant near Sheepshead Bay in NYC now. You might also want to fill up on things like BBQ. It's not NYC's strong point, though I suppose it's improving. Also, get your fill of doughnuts in LA. The doughnut situation in NYC is pretty miserable.
re: bulavinaka
IMO nothing beats the SGV for Chinese. But there seems to be different immigration patterns from China to NYC so we're seeing an greater influx of people from inland China, which means there are increasing numbers of Islamic chinese eateries. But this is more evident in Flushing rather than in Chinatown. The Chinese immigrants in LA are generally more wealthy, with resources to put into grand restaurants, like Cantonese seafood houses, so that's something to take advantage of in LA.
I should also mention that while Korean is still more plentiful in LA, there's a lot to be had in NYC, but that's also in the Flushing area. Some NYC hounds claim it's impossible to find really good Korean food in Manhattan.
re: E Eto
Very insightful... thanks... our friends' families hale from Hainan and Malaysia. Both now find a liking for alot of the other storied cuisines in NY - a Chinese family sitting down and eating pasta with bolognese or carbonara is a queer thought to me - but have no problems having Italian one night, then heading over to Flushing for Chinese the next... Thanks
re: bulavinaka
20 years ago New York had the best Chinese food in the country, but it's been far surpassed by food in the suburbs of both Los Angeles and San Francisco. As far as pecking order goes I'd say that Manhattan Chinatown is better than L. A. or S. F. Chinatown, Flushing is quite a bit better than Manhattan Chinatown, and the San Gabriel Valley is quite a bit better than Flushing. I'd say the main deficiency in New York's Chinese food is that it seems to have stopped evolving at the end of the 20th Century, while the Chinese food here in the San Gabriel Valley kept on progressing with places like Sea Harbour, Triumphal Palace, Mission 261, Elite/New Concept, The Kitchen and Happy Harbor. In this regard I would advise the original poster to load up on dim sum at these new wave dim sum palaces because I don't know of anything like these places in New York. I think the other advantage of the San Gabriel Valley is the breadth of regional cuisines. Yes, Flushing does have some regional stuff (e.g., Uighur food) we haven't seen, but the San Gabriel Valley has so much of everything else. For example, when the Din Tai Fung chefs set up shop for a week at a hotel in Flushing that was a major event back there. Meanwhile, with a Din Tai Fung branch in Arcadia, it seems like a majority of the posters on this board prefer some other venue for Din Tai Fung's menu items.
re: E Eto
Reminded me of one of the better meals I've had recently, at Sophy's Thai and Cambodian in Long Beach. I'm guessing this is a Cambodian restaurant that had to include Thai cuisine to attract more non-Khmer customers to stay in business. Thai food you can get most anywhere else just as good or better, so I concentrated on the Khmer dishes.
I don't remember the names of the dishes we had, one was a Khmer beef salad which was very good, reminescent of a Thai beef salad but instead of the tart lime taste, this dish was more salty savory from the black olives and anchovies. The other was a sauteed chicken liberally sprinkled with very thin strands of crispy-fried ginger. As good as the beef salad was, the chicken-ginger was my favorite dish that day.
re: PetiteSyrah
Mozza and Otto are not the same menu. In fact, the pizza is a different style; Otto's are griddled. They share a few similarities, but Mozza is still worth checking out before you go. Mozza really has Silverton's imprint while Otto is pure Batali. (Of course, both are good.) Enjoy!
Chinatown is no longer the place to get great Chinese food and hasn't been for many years. I would suggest staying in the other areas for sure.
Tommy Burger's b/c they are only here. I no that it is not everyone's fav, but it is an LA thing! I love mine with the works.
Go to King Taco and have some sopes de asada. I'm not sure if you are into salsa but since you are leaving L.A. live a little and throw on thier fabulous red salsa. The experience of the flavors of the meat with the sope, the queso cotija and the sals it orgasmic!

People who responsibly rescue dogs, ones with non profit status and file all their paperwork with the state & IRS have a lot riding on their reputation on top of just adopting a dog out to any home. The reason rescues ask personal questions on applications regarding the care of current animals, fencing, and history of pet ownership/neglect is because although you may not agree a bad home is not better than no home! Rescues put a lot of time, money, energy into finding the appropriate homes for dogs based on the dog first and foremost, not making someone happy adopting a dog that will no be cared for properly. If a dog was surrendered for being not liking children we certainly do not want to adopt the dog to a home with no fencing and to a person with young children. It is called being responsible, and as a non profit we cannot afford to take risks and have a dog or human hurt just to take the first application that may come in even when it is not an appropriate home. Is the system flawed? Will some irresponsible dog owners still find a way to get dogs? Absolutely, but they will not be getting our dogs…the dogs in our care will be given to homes we know are good, appropriate, and happy homes. I would certainly say that we have denied good dog owners before due to not having a spayed/neutered pet, but that is a risk I am willing to take to educate on the importance of spaying/neutering and avoiding our rescued dog to be in jeopardy. Go save a dog, I will never hold it against you for not adopting from us, so please do not hold it against us for taking extreme passion and care in to ensuring our rescued dogs are safe, happy, and in well deserved homes. To bash a rescue because you were not approved is sad, if you are a true and avid animal lover you would understand and support that we are not amateurs and have had to put these policies in place for a reason.
2 thoughts on "RE: Animal Lovers take note"
I would like to comment on the person that was denied adoption by a local humane society or 501 C3 rescue group. Thank you for upholding your principals and denying this person a dog!
I have been in rescue for almost 25 years and would never allow this adoption to this applicant. I would run from this applicant as fast as I could. It is safe to assume that people that have this philosophy do not provide medical care for the pets. If we were to do a reference check they would not have a vet relationship I am sure of this!
We in the rescue world have higher standards than this person would provide to a dog or cat.
I love to decline people like this – Go rescue groups – keep up the good work. Our pets deserve better!!
Oh Mr denied pet owner – we do home visits and check vet references which you would not pass. Our litmus test is our application and the first step which you failed!
In regards to the person that was angry that they were denied a pet adoption because their pets at home were not spayed or neutered you must really put yourself in the position of the shelter that denied you. If you already have a pet that isnt spayed or neutered it is most likely because you couldnt afford it. Pets are an expensive life time investment. Not only should they be altered for their own health benefits but also to keep the unwanted populations down. They also require yearly check ups and vaccines along with proper flea/tick and intestinal parasite prevention. On top of that your pet may fall ill during his lifetime with you. Do you have the financial means to properly treat your pet in case of such emergencies? If you cannot afford all of the above, truly you have no business adopting an animal. This is the responsible position of all caring animal shelters.

2195: A new Muslim is not to make up missed Islamic duties before accepting Islam
A man accepts Islam and he is 40 years old. Does he need to make up what he has missed from his prayers?
Praise be to Allaah.
One who accepts Islam is not to make what he or she has missed from prayers, fasting, alms (zakaat) during his or her days of disbelief (kufr), as indicated by the verse in which Allaah says (what can be interpreted as):
Say to those who have disbelieved that if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them… (Al-Anfaal:38)
And what was related that the Prophet (may the peace and blessings and mercy of Allaah be upon him) said, "Islam annuls what came before it." (narrated by Muslim in his Sahih, no. 121). Also, the Prophet (may the peace and blessings and mercy of Allaah be upon him) did not command anyone among those who accepted Islam to make up for anything that he previously missed from the rites and rituals of Islam during his days of disbelief, and the scholars of Islam are in consensus about this.

Despite having Oracle Financials in place, Hertz Australia was overrun by paper, having to process 5,000 invoices a month. Microsoft partners, Kofax and Data Capture Experts implemented a Business-Critical SharePoint solution with Kofax Capture and Kofax
Transformation Modules where information from paper is delivered into Hertz Australia's core business applications and Oracle Financials data is surfaced through SharePoint. The company saved $70,000 in its first 10 months of live operation by reducing the
time and labor to process accounting documents and by improving cross-departmental collaboration.
United Controls International (UCI) provides engineering, manufacturing and testing services to the nuclear industry. To address the industry's trend for larger projects requiring the coordination of many processes, procurements, and people, the company
needed greater visibility of operations, a corporate repository of information, and more efficient quoting and scheduling workflows. TwinEngines, a Business-Critical SharePoint partner, developed a solution with Microsoft SharePoint that integrates with Microsoft
Dynamics GP. UCI can now effectively scale their operations to meet the growing demands of their customers and industry.
Using multiple line-of-business (LOB) systems, Advanced Disposal managers previously had to pull six different reports to gain visibility into sales performance. Therefore, it could take them over 30-40 minutes to prepare for a thirty minute coaching session.
ACTS deployed a Business-Critical SharePoint solution by connecting their LOB systems with SharePoint via Nintex. The solution helped improve cross-departmental collaboration, visibility into the sales performance, and employee coaching.
A leading player in the power generation business, AEI Services LLC struggled with finding the right information in 200-300 pages long documents via manual work. Leveraging the Line-of-Business (LOB) and Enterprise Search capabilities of SharePoint, Adlib,
a Business-Critical SharePoint partner helped them automate the document rendering and archiving processes. Via Adlib PDF Enterprise, their Business-Critical SharePoint solution, they have improved scalability, saved on resources, and can now process a document
every 2-3 seconds.

Lille Regional Teaching University Hospital—a leading provider of healthcare in northern France—wanted to provide a better experience for patients and improve staff workflow. To meet its goals, the hospital replaced stand-alone TVs in each room with a Microsoft
technology–based solution that includes Care and Comfort bedside terminals running Windows Embedded, Windows Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint Server, and in the future, Skype. As a result, the hospital can keep patients connected to their
lives outside the hospital and help medical staff improve workflow by automating manual processes and simplifying access to information. In addition, the terminals are simple for patients of all ages to use, and the solution is easily deployed and managed,
which the hospital anticipates will ease future expansion.
Ministry of Health (MoH) in Saudi Arabia could hardly avoid noticing Saudis' enthusiasm for mobile electronic devices, which are used widely, including for accessing social networking websites. In 2013 the ministry's Project Management Office (PMO) realized
that it could exploit that popularity to improve further its oversight of IT projects, by upgrading from its Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM) 2010 software to the 2013 version.
Dillon Gage, one of the largest international precious metals dealers, migrated nearly all of its business-critical applications—including Infor/Lawson enterprise resource planning software—to Microsoft Azure. With applications running in Azure, Dillon Gage
has been able to create a highly available infrastructure that is easy to extend globally. It avoided the US$1 million expense of building new primary and backup datacenters and will reduce its IT spending by 40 percent going forward.
When the ABB Italy subsidiary of manufacturer ABB wanted to update one of its business intelligence (BI) tools, it adopted Microsoft Power BI for Office 365. The company has slashed the time to generate reports by as much as a month, so it can conduct faster,

'External' HD - All data gone. Partitions still there.
I've just experienced my 'external hard drive' not letting me access any data. I put 'external hard drive' in apostrophes, as it's actually an old SATA Internal Hard drive, in an external case.
This is what happened;
The hard drive was partitioned into two partitions. One about 100GB large which had Windows 7 installed on it, from when I used it inside my desktop. Another which was encrypted with TrueCrypt and was about 800GB large. I tried loading the second partition with Truecrypt, but the computer locked up. In the end I had to turn off the computer manually by the power.
I booted up and I couldn't see the hard drives at all - not even in Computer Management. I turned the HD power on and off a couple times and eventually they were viewable - only they'd turned into three partitions, with an extra 24GB partition as the active, primary partition. It might've been that way before but not viewable in My Computer.
Now I can see the sizes of the partition in Computer Management, but they show as 0MB in My Computer, as if I'd not formatted them. When I try open them in My Computer though, it lets me open them - it doesn't tell me they need formatting.
I'm currently running TestDisk, but it can only see the 24GB partition.
Any ideas for how I can recover my data?
Edit: TestDisk Results: No Recoverable Partition Found.
Also noticed file system now says RAW.
|My System Specs
|15 Nov 2012
I tried using EaseUS Partition Recovery. For the Complete Recovery option, it can't even see the hard drive. For Partition Recovery option, it can see the hard drive, but seems to be searching for files and can't see any.

Description of Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes True!!
To shortly resume Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes True!! (also known as Déjà Vu, ディジャブ A Nightmare Comes True!!), it's about adventure and detective / mystery. It was done by ICOM Simulations, Inc. in 1987. Feel free to download and try it!
The first ICOM game, Deja Vu 1 introduces multiple-window user interface, mouse support (back in 1986-- when not many people knew what a "mouse" was), and true WYSIWYG.
In this game, you wake up with (surprise, surprise) an amnesia in a decrepit bar. Puzzles are somewhat difficult due to the fact that only about half of what you can carry are actually useful. The game gives you only a vague sense of what to do next, so the illusion of non-linearity is effective. The periodic flashbacks are a nice touch as they advance the story. There IS a time limit, so save often!

I played it on Amiga several years ago: an awesome graphic adventure, if you consider it was realesed in 1987.
Amiga version had 32 colours instead of 4 of CGA PC one.
Beautiful and mysterious plot, but hard to finish!
I recommend it to you!

Delta Time
Theessink Hans/evans Terryfeaturing Ry Cooder
Delta Time was released Sep 18, 2012 on the Blue Groove label. Hans Theessink and Terry Evans may be from separate sides of the Atlantic Ocean but they work together beautifully and make sense as a natural combination.
by Paul Barr
Hans Theessink is a busy European bluesman who plays over 250 gigs a year. Terry Evans is one of the best gospel blues singers around, whose long association with Ry Cooder goes back to the 1976 recording of Chicken Skin Music.
What we get here are five Theessink originals, as well as great covers of the Delmore Brothers, Bobby Charles, Jimmy Reed and J.B. Lenoir.
Beautiful acoustic guitar, slide and mandolin work, and Theessink's gruff voice dueting with Evans' soulful one, provide a very enjoyable collection of tunes. Cooder adds some tasty guitar on three tracks. Most of these songs were first takes and recorded with vintage equipment, creating a very real session of music.
Paul Barr is a Music Specialist at Readings Carlton.

A simple impromptu, no gimmick chair routine.
A spectator comes on stage and sits in any one of 7 chairs. She has a free choice and may change her mind as many times as she likes. The chair she chooses is the predicted chair containing a single envelope.
Inside this envelope is a $20 bill with, You will choose this chair written on the bill. To confirm the prediction and a wise choice by the spectator, the chairs to the left and right of the predicted chair are shown empty. She keeps the bill and walks off stage. Simple. Clean. Done.
Have your spectator walk away with a $1 bill while every other chair contains a $100 bill!
...and more!

while we're on the subject of potato salad...
Sometimes when I make potato salad, after it's refrigerated for a while it gets watery. This is for a mayonaise based salad, with onion, celery, hard cooked egg, etc, and even though I do drain the potatoes well, this sometimes happens. Any ideas on how to prevent?
I wonder if your mayo isn't reacting with the onion and celery? These are the only juicy ingredients in your list. Salt and acid can cause the juices to leach out. I would add the mayo just before serving. Hope this helps.
re: JPomer
If you want to mix all the ingredients together well before serving you have to treat the onion somehow - my guess is this is the main culprit. There are a few ways to do this:
(1) macerate the onion with salt before adding it to your salad. A heavy sprinkling of salt rubbed into the onions will draw out most of the liquid in about 15 - 30 minutes. Drain off, rinse if you have salt residue, put into salad. This will have less crunch than untreated onions but shouldn't be watery.
(2) cook the onions. This definitely changes both taste and texture, but most German potato salads do this so it's not totally crazy. A quick saute in oil will seal in the onion juices.
(3) substitute for the onions. Again this changes the salad, but another member of the onion family with less juice will give you a similar flavor - I'm thinking of scallions or green garlic.
Try putting your drained potatoes back into the (dry) hot pot you've just taken them from, put over medium heat, and let the potatoes dry briefly to rid them of all excess moisture. It just takes a moment. This works better, I suppose, if you're using whole or halved potatoes instead of cubes, but that might work, too, if you're careful not to let them stick and/or disintegrate.
re: JPomer
Potatoes don't leach liquid. When warm, they absorb it.
re: cheryl_h
Good point.
yu are absolutely correct that it is the onion and celery that are leaching their juices into the salad. a cure i have used for years (thanks, mom!) is to blanch the vegetables by dropping them (chopped, of course) into the pot with the boiling potoatoes for about 30 seconds maximum and allow to drain fully along with the spuds. i always add my dressing to the hot goods rather than allow anything to cool but this refinement has nothing to do with your problem

I got it at GameStop along with the last guide on June 16, at 3:24 pm
I'm not lying about that time either
I had my little sister call around town to see who gets it in while I went to work for my neighbor for the day. BestBuy, Target, and Wal-Mart didn't get it until the 17th. TRUs didn't get it until the 18th. Blockbuster and Hollywood video did not get it until the 19th. I couldn't wait much longer. She finally found GameStop in the yellow pages and they said they'd get it in at 2 pm. I headed home at 2, ate lunch (after working non-stop for 5 hours, yes, I needed to eat before I headed out) washed up (had wood stain all over my clothes and body, couldn't leave like that either) and talked online with that special someone. Had to say what I must before I got this game.
I was right, it is hard to decide which to do. Talk to her or play KotOR. Don't worry, this game isn't
good that I'd blow her off for it
Although, I do like it much more than Dark Forces, my previous all time favorite game.
High praise from some guy most of you don't even know!
Grrrr, bear with me and my long posts. Don't worry, I'll get lazy soon, even when talking about this game
Like to read? Like fantasy stories? Like doing people you've never met in person favors? Then read and review my
original movie screenplay
! You will, you must. It is your destiny....

Then when other posters mention how silly it is, they get accused of being homophobic.
Anyway, they make a hot couple but I think Fabio is a bit of a player. She needs to be careful!!!!

The posters who claimed Fognini to be gay weren't "accusing" him. At least not in the sense the word is in the dictionary.
There was nothing wrong with the chose of word. The poster in a sense accused him of being gay. Basically claiming that something he may or may not have done cause them to believe his is... rightfully or wrongly.
The fact is we've seen on this board that even when players have made no proclamation of being gay, it is stated that they are in denial.

(OP)En Español (Spanish Version)More InDepth Information on This Condition
Osteoporosis is when bones become weak and brittle. If left unchecked, it can lead to bone breaks (fracture). Any bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist.
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
Throughout life, old bone is removed and new bone is added to the skeleton. During childhood and adolescence, new bone is added faster than old bone is removed. As a result, bones become heavier, larger, and denser. Peak bone mass is reached at around age 30. From that point, more bone is lost than replaced. If not treated, bone losses may lead to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is more likely to occur if full bone mass was not achieved during the bone-building years.
Bone density also plays a role in bone health. Bone density is determined by the amount of calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals within the bone framework. As the mineral content of a bone (especially calcium) decreases, the bone weakens. Getting enough calcium and vitamin D and exercising regularly can keep bones strong throughout life.
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Risk factors include:
- Sex: female
- Age: risk increases with age
- Body size: small, underweight women
- Race: Caucasian, Asian, and Hispanic women
- Family members with osteoporosis
- Postmenopausal status
- No menstrual periods (amenorrhea)
- Low-calcium diet
- Immunosuppressants, such as prednisone and other steroids, methotrexate, cyclosporine
- Thyroid drugs
- Anticonvulsants
- Aluminum-containing antacids
- Cholesterol-lowering drugs
- Long-term heparin therapy
- Antidepressants including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI)
- Inhaled steroids
- Low estrogen levels in women
- Low testosterone levels in men
- Inactive lifestyle
- Too little sunlight
- Depression
- Anorexia
- Cigarette smoking
- Excessive use of alcohol, coffee, and tea
Diseases including:
- Liver disease, including cirrhosis
- Hyperthyroidism
- Scurvy
- Alcoholism
- Marfan's, Ehler-Danlos, and osteogenesis imperfecta syndromes
- Cushing's syndrome
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Cancer, including lymphoma and multiple myeloma
- Gastrointestinal disorders, including celiac disease and other malabsorptive disorders
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (particularly men)
- Inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
Symptoms include:
- Pain when bones break or collapse
- Severe back pain with fracture of the vertebrae, wrists, hips, or other bones
- Loss of height with stooped posture (kyphosis)
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. Early signs of osteoporosis can be seen with bone density testing:
- Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry—measures bone density in the entire body
- Single-energy x-ray absorptiometry—measures bone density in the arm or heel
- Dental x-rays of bone
- Ultrasound bone density measurement—measures bone density in fingers, heels, and leg bones
Other tests may include:
- Blood and urine tests—to test for calcium levels or substances created when bone is broken down
For older men, the American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends that your doctor check for risk factors for osteoporosis. The ACP also recommends that you have a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry done if you are at an increased risk and are a candidate for drug therapy.*
Treatment includes:
Decrease your intake of caffeinated beverages and alcohol. Eat a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Calcium is in:
- Dairy products
- Green leafy vegetables
- Canned fish with bones
- Calcium-fortified products
Do not smoke. If you smoke, quit.
Exercise improves bone health. It also increases muscle strength, coordination, and balance. Do weight-bearing and strength-training exercises for maximum benefit. Balance training may prevent falls and fractures.
Dietary Supplements
People who cannot consume enough calcium from food might want to take calcium supplements. Calcium citrate has the best absorption and is well-tolerated. Other vitamins and minerals may be recommended, including vitamin D, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin K. A study showed that Japanese postmenopausal women who took vitamin K supplements had a reduced rate of fractures. Talk to your doctor or dietician before you begin taking dietary supplements.*
Medications to prevent bone loss, increase bone density, and reduce the risk of spine and hip fractures:
- Raloxifene (Evista)
- Bisphosphonates (alendronate [Fosamax], risedronate [Actonel])
- Calcitonin
- Fluoride
- Recombinant parathyroid hormone (Teriparatide)
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Although HRT (including estrogen replacement therapy, or ERT) may cut the risk of osteoporosis in half, research shows a strong association between longer-term ERT or HRT use and a significantly increased risk of invasive breast cancer, strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots. Be sure to discuss all of the health risks and benefits of hormone therapy with your doctor to determine if it is right for you.
HRT therapy may include:
- Estrogen alone (ERT)
- Estrogen and progestin—frequently preferred for women with an intact uterus because ERT slightly increases the risk of uterine cancer
- Foods containing soy—may improve bone mass because these foods contain plant estrogens
HRT can:
- Reduce bone loss
- Increase bone density
- Reduce the risk of hip and spinal fractures in postmenopausal women
Safety Measures
Falls can increase the chance of fracture in someone with osteoporosis. Here are ways to prevent falls:
- Use a cane or walker for stability.
- Wear rubber-soled shoes for traction.
- Use plastic or carpet runners when possible.
- Keep rooms free of clutter.
- Install grab bars in bathrooms.
Building strong bones throughout the early years is the best defense against osteoporosis. There are four steps to prevent osteoporosis:
- A balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D
- Weight-bearing exercise
- Healthful lifestyle (no smoking and moderate alcohol)
Bone density testing and medications where appropriate:
- Fosamax
- Actonel
- Evista
