Good Highland Park Mexican...with Margaritas?
- scurvy Feb 10, 2007 04:36 PM
Friday nights just haven't been the same since Pepe's in La Canada closed its doors. We're looking for a dark, comfortable place that has good Mexican food with margaritas. We like big burritos, carnitas, asada...the basics. We live in Silverlake, but are willing to travel for the right combination of tasty and fun.
What we've tried so far, with comments:
La Cabinita - very good food, but the room is cold and uncomfortable. Service is harried.
Los Compadres - Flaming margaritas are fun, carnitas are quite good, but the rest of the food is pretty marginal. Service is poor. Some bonus points for non-roving mariachis.
El Chavo - I love this room, but the food just sucks.
Malo - The food here is tasty, but we'd rather not have to make a reservation for down and dirty margarita night. Waitstaff has that haughty Steven Arroyo attitude that makes me want to kill someone. Shouldn't cost this much either.
Casita Del Campo - really bad food. strange room.
La Golondrina - Olvera Street. actually kind of like this place, but it is a pain in the ass to get there. Pretty decent cochinito pibil.
El Cholo - too chain-y. Feels like Disneyland.
Lucy's El Adobe - crappy food & really expensive for what you get. The rooms are super cavernous since they expanded.
Margarita's - in Pasadena. Sister restaurant to Pepe's. Food is great, but the space is too bright...not cosy.
El Coyote - soft spot for this place since they would serve us booze back when we were kids, but the food is serious gutbomb material. Would love to find a smaller, tastier clone.
These are the next stops on the list. Would love input, or any other places you suggest:
Villa Sombrero - Highland Park
El Arco Iris - Highland Park (do they have margaritas?)
El Cid - Silverlake
The Mexican Village - Silverlake
Casa Vega - in the valley
Help please
The Pasadena El Cholo is pretty Disney-ish, but the Western Ave version is much less so. It's certainly big and sprawling, but draws an interestingly mixed crowd and is dependable for the down-and-dirty experience you describe. You're guaranteed to wait for a table on Friday night, however.
When did Pepe's close??!! That saddens me!
El Cid is dark, but food is not that great.
La Parilla has great food (not sure about the margaritas, tho). It is okay - I would not necessarily call it cozy.
IMHO, Highland Park's Arco Iris falls somewhere between El Chavo and La Cabanita: Decent, affordable Los Angeles-style Mexican food. A fun place when the room is packed.
Huarache Azteca is the best spot in that neighborhood, and a fave on the LA CH board.
El Sombrero blows. Decent margs, but spotty food.
El Arco Iris has the best green chile burros anywhere! And, yes they do have margaritas.
Huarache is good too but can't beat Arco's burritos.
I actually think the food at Mexican Village is quite good -- good seafood dishes and very tasty guacamole, chips and salsa. Good margaritas as well. It would probably rank among my favorite Mexican places in Silver Lake for traditional LA-style Mexican food but for the following: it has a bit of a sports bar quality and can be loud when all the televisions are on. Also, it turns into a nightclub of sorts in the evenings, including a cover charge.
re: cabrunet
Do you have an address? Sounds great, but the only Caramba's I see are in Pico Rivera and Industry.

Jonny Evans has, at the age of 25, accrued an impressive level of maturity, composure and consistency in his game, but he says the challenge at Manchester United is to never stop striving to improve.
The Northern Ireland international picked up an ankle knock in the Reds' pre-season friendly with AIK Fotboll in Sweden this week, but he will be hoping to be fit for the start of the 2013/14 campaign as United begin the defence of the Barclays Premier League trophy.
As well as being tuned in to United's team aims this term, Evans has personal ambitions of his own that he will be attempting to attain.
"Over time I've realised I must strive to be the best player I can be," he says in the latest issue of Inside United magazine, on sale now. "Every single game you have to be on top form - there's no room for blips."
The answer is to constantly assess and reassess performances, never allowing complacency to creep in. "Some people think you just turn up and play a match at the weekend and then forget about it," continues Jonny. "But it's not like that. You play a game on a Saturday and when you wake up the following morning, it's the first thing on your mind and it's like that for the rest of the week until you

This instructable is going to be
about building an electronic drumset(not a MIDI sampler.),using an Arduino UNO R3.,
similar to a V-DRUM.It is code named KIDU.
(Kompact Intelligent Drumming Unit).Some of the items used may be names differently in your locality.ill try to put as
many pictures as posible.
I saw many instructables based on arduino and MIDI outputs.i thought of
making a completely independent instrument(ie with out a laptop).
(unlike V DRUM);
* Very portable and easy to assemble.
(the whole structure fits in a guitar case :-))
* The user can decide which sound each
drum sounds like.One can even record
a sound and upload it into the device
and make that sound from a drum.
(sound quality-16 MHz,16 bit mono)
* You can use as much storage space for saving the sound files.,
depending on the size of the SD card you use.
So a lot of sound styles can be included.For the sake of simplicity .,i used
5 styles of sound.
* There is no base-drum. Instead the kick pedal
contains a trigger.,that simulates a base kick.
* Total cost just a fraction of what the original
V DRUM will cost.I made it under 6000 rupees(~ $107).
* There are no unnecessary buttons and knobs for selecting the drum styles.
I have programmed it in such a way that.,
The drums themselves acts as the buttons.in this example.,i have used the snare
drum to trigger the count,.and the tom1 drum as the select key.
* There is no LCD display to guide you through selecting the drum style and the tones.
but KIDU will narrate every step.,and what style you have selected.
For example.,When KIDU startsup.,it asks you to enter the style count
using the snare drum.Then you hit the snare drum with the drum stick
less than 5 times,to select a drumming style,numbered from 1-5.
General Advantages :
(unlike acoustic drums)
*KIDU can play a large number of percussion styles.,depending on the
sounds that you have saved in it.
*You can directly record the audio output.,on to any device that can
record an audio signal,with out any ambient noise.for an acustic drum
you may need a studio to record it ambient free.
*You can practice it with out disturbing anyone.,by simply connecting
a 3.3mm headphone jack into the output socket.
*You can individually adjust the sensitivity of each of the drums through
program or a control knob.FSOS(for the sake of simplicity)i have excluded
the pots.I control their sensitivity by adjusting the threshold value in the program
prior to upload.
technically no. the latest hit will over write the previous sound. but i made my drumsounds so small in size and duration that one hardly notice that.I am currently working ona drum that can play 4 sounds simultaniously..
Any progress on the polyphonic drums? :)
is this a stand alone unit or do you need to hook it up to a computer? also is the schematic available?
Yes,it is a stand alone unit
Hello enjoyneer, Thanks for this instructable and congratulations, it is great.
I have a question. Is there any noticeable delay from the moment you hit a pad until you expect to hear its result?
Thanks in advance!
I dont think you can do that with todays keyboards. i am not sure of the thing.What people usually do is that they connect the electric drum to a computer via a MIDI interface and use a VST like flstudio or cubase or logic or garageband to make any sound on the VST to play on the drum.The keyboard itself is a MIDI device.i am not sure if you can connect another MIDI into it.I am not sure you may want to do some additional research on this.
using piezo electric drum pad how to connect to organ keyboard to use its drum sound source
great work sir ! i would like to have a request from to send me the schematics of this project in my fb account haha sorry for the demand :) www.facebook.com/polylights
and .,the error you mentioned is probably because you havnt installed the SimpleSDAudio library.,with which the arduino recognises the .raw audio files in the SD card.i think i have uploaded it with the link i have provided in the download inks page of my instructables...if its not there you can jus google for SimpleSDAudio library for arduino..,and copy it to your library...
i think making such a drum set without a midi output is very useful.,y use a laptop when you can do it with out it,...
why do it easy when you can complicate things....! :P

this is it!!!
i've been looking for a long time....( LOL )
how about using IC multiplex 4051 etc. to expand your analog input into 48pcs ( 6 x 8 )???
but can you show me the sketch program .....
and the sketch that i copy paste from your article above..there are error message on IDE arduino program software....
( sd play not in the scope ...) what it that mean ???
please help me..i want to build my own drum with minimum 16 input pad and doesn't need a laptop or pc..because we just need an amp or a speaker don't you..?
An alternathive solution to this is that you can use a piezo sensor for the foot pedal also.,but that is not an option.,if you are using an arduino UNO R3/.,since u woldnt have any analog ports left...initialy i planned to use sum control buttons and an LCD display to the project,.but i ran out of digital input ports.so i decided to use foot pedals.,but that was very difficult to programme.,due to this debouncing thing..so i decided to take the drum hits as the trigger...which worked much better than expected.,noone expected me to use the drum trigger so every one tot dat ws aweosme coz no one has ever seen such a thing.
> www.hackerspace-ffm.de.
This is the place were i learned about the simpleSDaudio

I was so impressed by all of the work that you have put into this drumkit. I would like to make a modified version operated by foot pedals rather than the drums that you have used; the reason for this is that I would want to play them to accompany myself whilst playing the guitar. I think that the mechanical side would not be too difficult, but I am wary of embarking on such a project without some guidance. Would you be able to give some, please? I am no computer engineer & would value greatly your input.
I look forward to hearing from you,

Remember five years ago, when cellulosic ethanol was going to fill our tanks without eating into food crops? The Environmental Protection Agency does, because it's had to keep rolling back the minimum renewable fuel standards put into place by the passage of the 2005 Energy Policy Act (H.R. 6). 2012 will be no different than the last two years, when the EPA backed off cellulosic ethanol targets of 100 million gallons in tanks for 2010 and 250 million gallons in 2011, reducing those figures to just 6.5 million gallons for both years. The EPA has proposed setting the 2012 requirement at 12.9 million gallons.
Part of the problem, the EPA says, is that suppliers have not created the biorefineries and thus not generated the production volume that was projected in 2005 when H.R. 6 was signed by then-president George W. Bush. "What's the hold up?" asked Nebraska representative Lee Terry. "I would have expected mass production by now," he commented during a hearing in May. In March, President Obama indicated a desire to get four new cellulosic ethanol refineries up and running by 2013.
Under the original plan laid out in H.R. 6, the U.S. should be using 1 billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol in 2013, a number also likely to be rolled back due to the lack of fuel available on the market, though the EPA says it will continue to evaluate the market and remains optimistic that celluloic ethanol will play a larger role in the nation's fuel mix.

November 28, 2014
A dome of high pressure will try to settle across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa on Thursday, causing clouds to erode and sunshine to return.
However, looks can be deceiving since even with mostly sunny skies during the afternoon, temperatures on Thursday will struggle to warm up.
Morning lows started in the upper 20s and low 30s and will only recover into the upper 40s by mid-afternoon. In fact for Omaha, today was the coldest morning so far this season as the temperature started off at a mere 30 degrees.
Needless to say, heavier jackets and coats will be a must as temperatures remain 10-15 degrees below normal for late October.

If you experience nutritional side effects during your cancer treatment, you will need to consider the different kinds of liquids that you may use for nourishment, to quench your thirst, or settle your stomach. Clear liquids are helpful for many of the side effects of cancer. Generally speaking, clear liquids are liquids that are easy to see through and to pour. A clear liquid diet is not nutritionally adequate and should only be followed for a short time to help control symptoms from cancer treatment side effects. If you are experiencing symptoms that will not allow you to consume anything more than clear liquids, talk to your doctor or registered dietitian for recommendations. Full liquids have more calories, protein, and nutrients so they can be used to help meet your daily calorie and protein requirements. Full liquids include those that are easy to pour and/or can be sucked through a straw. Some liquids are considered both clear and full.
The National Cancer Institute provides the following list of clear liquids:
Clear, fat-free broth
Clear carbonated beverages
Apple cranberry, or grape juice
Flavored water
Fruit ices without fruit pieces or milk
Fruit-flavored drinks
Fruit punch
Hard candy
Sports drinks
Clear nutritional supplements (such as Resource Breeze, Carnation Instant Breakfast, and Enlive!)
Full liquids include the following:
Refined hot cereals (such as Cream of Wheat, Cream of Rice, instant oatmeal, and grits)
Soup that has been strained or put through a blender
Carbonated drinks
Fruit drinks
Tomato juice
Vegetable juice
Custard (soft or baked)
Frozen yogurt
Fruit purees that are watered down
Ice cream with no chunks (such as nuts or cookie pieces)
Ice milk
Yogurt (plain or vanilla)
Instant breakfast drinks (such as Carnation Instant Breakfast)
Liquid meal replacements (such as Ensure and Boost)
Clear nutrition supplements (such as Resource Breeze, Carnation Instant Breakfast, and Enlive!)

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- The private, non-profit Bonita Springs Utility (BSU) is admitting a paperwork error on its proposed budget for the coming year. Some customers are saying: they want money back from the Utility. It says: That cannot happen.
"It was a mistake, a human error. We recognized it, and corrected it," said Fred Partin, director of the utility.
The paperwork said the BSU was budgeting 12-million dollars for capital improvements. The figure should have been 6.5 million. The utility says it will set aside the remaining 5.5 million for future expansion.
But some customers who noticed the error, are demanding a rate decrease or a special dividence. "We deserve the money back. If they have that much extra money they can just put into reserves, the rate payers deserve a cut in rates or a check as a dividenc," said Ron Pure, a customer of BSU and leader of the Taxpayer Action Group.
Partin says, a cut cannot occur. "Those monies are dedicated for capital projects. We cannot just move them into operating expenses. People should be pleased that we have so much in reserves, we are in a good position for future expansion," Partin told WINK News.
Customer Terry Davis wants some money back. "Future expansion? You've got to be kidding. This economy is not going to grow hardly at all for years! I would like them not to hold on to my money!," he told WINK.
The Bonita Springs Utility is not owned by the city of Bonita Springs. It serves 40,000 customers in Bonita and Estero.

QUICK PREVIEW: France vs. Nigeria / Germany vs. Algeria
France vs. Nigeria—Noon (ESPN): The teams last me in aJune 2009 friendly in France where the Nigerians won 1-0. … France came back down to Earth a bit against Ecuador (0-0 tie) to close out group play, but a large chunk of the lineup used that day were not the regular starters. Expect Karim Benzema to get back in the scoing column and the midfield by Paul Pogba, Yohan Cabaye and Blaise Matuidi to be too much for Nigeria. Defender Patrice Evra will be rested in front of goalie Hugo Lloris who has been solid. … Nigeria had looked solid defensively and lacking offensively heading into its final group game with Argentina, but Ahmed Musa looked great in that game with two nice goals. The defense will have to recover from being eaten up by a resurgent Argentine offense. Prediction: France 3-1.
Germany vs. Alergia—4 p.m. (ESPN): The teams last meet at the 1982 World Cup in Spain where the Algerians won 2-1 over West Germany. … The Germans enter the Round of 16 battle-tested. After rolling over Portugal in in their opener, they tied Ghana in one of the matches of the tournament so far, before edging the U.S. 1-0 in its group ginale to lock up first place. … The Algerians advanced thanks to a second-half goal from Islam Slimani that tied Russia. The defense did the rest. Ali's go-for-it attitude has helped them to get where they are, but it can also hurt them as is evident from their five goals allowed. … Tournament co-top scorer Thoma Mueller, Sami Khedira and company will most likely help the Germans feast off the Algerian defense. Germany could be susceptible to Algeria's quick counters, but goalie Manuel Neuer shouldn't be tested. Prediction: Germany 4-1.

GAO reviewed whether the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) used emergency appropriated funds for the repair and replacement of national wildlife refuge facilities damaged by Hurricane Iniki. GAO noted that: (1) FWS did not have authorization to use emergency funds for reconstruction work at two refuges; (2) FWS planned to use emergency funds for enlarging selected buildings at one refuge and remodeling the visitors' center at another refuge; (3) approximately $12.8 million in emergency disaster assistance was appropriated to FWS for construction projects; and (4) of the amount appropriated, FWS allocated $6.2 million for the rehabilitation of the refuges.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FWS temporarily suspended construction work, reexamined its plans for facility repairs, and revised its construction plans and sources of funds to be used to pay for this work to ensure compliance with Dire Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act requirements.
Recommendation: The Director, FWS, should take the steps necessary to ensure that funds spent for hurricane damage and rehabilitation work at the Kauai refuges under the Dire Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1992 comply with the requirements of the act.

Playing the Angklung in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
In this video we play the angklung at Alam Bahasa in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The angklung is a musical instrument made of two bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. It originated in what is now Indonesia and has been played by the Sundanese of West Java for many centuries. Today in Yogyakarta you can find several street corners where teenagers play the angklung in simi-traditional bands. The angklung is popular throughout Southeast Asia, but the largest group of people to ever gather together to play it was in the West. On July 9, 2011 5,182 people from many nations played the angklung together in Washington DC. This event was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest angklung ensemble.

November 28, 2014
There are many ways to stop a terrorist from striking. The two basic methods are catch the perpetrator after they have made the decision to strike or stop them from becoming a terrorist in the first place.
Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean favors the latter option, and he plans to do so through diplomacy.
"I will restore the honor, the respect and the dignity that this country deserves, around the rest of the world by having a foreign policy based on cooperation and not just confrontation," said Democratic Presidential Candidate Howard Dean.
In Iraq, Dean would turn to a Nato-led coalition to continue what the United States is doing there now. He expects it will take about two years before a complete transition to democracy is made there and says troops may need to stay even longer to assure that process is complete.
As far as protecting the homeland, Dean proposes spending $5 billion to beef up security in America, something democratic front runner John Kerry agrees should be taken care of before turning to foreign projects.
"Two-thirds of the firehouses in the United States are understaffed, 50 percent of the firefighters in our country don't have the communications equipment they're supposed to have. We should not be opening firehouses in Baghdad and shutting them down in the U.S. of America," said Kerry.
On the issue of Iraq, John Edwards sides with dean, saying the development and maintenance of democracy there should be done with an international coalition.
On homeland security, Edwards emphasizes his primary campaign platform bringing jobs back to America.
"One of the things I keep hearing from this president is providing for American security, well in my mind providing security for America also means securing America's jobs, right here at home," said Edwards.
In addition to increased screening technology at America's ports, Edwards is also calling for an office of individual liberties to help protect the rights of Americans from becoming additional casualties in the War on Terror.
