Cat howls
While many have posted regarding a screeching cat I still have no idea what's wrong. I have had cats, usually old, who punctuate their days with a howl or two but this cat seems different in that what starts out as a howl becomes a gut wrenching, guttural cry of what appears to be pain; she sometimes looks as if she is trying to run away from the pain Her labs and her exam reveal nothing abnormal. She is twelve years old. She will not allow being picked up, never has. She had a litter years ago; one of the kittens had the same beyond skittish characteristics. She likes affection on her terms,, standing at arm's length, always has. I have pain drops to use once or twice in order to determine if the howls are caused by pain. Weeks later I have yet to get one drop on her gums. It has been suggested I catch her and let the vet give her one analgesic shot and then see if she howls during the following hours. If she doesn't howl then I will have to go to a teaching state of the art vet hospital for further testing that is not available in the average practice. Anyone out there with this problem? Could it be dementia? Thank you.
I didn't see the previous posts, so have to ask if the cat has had any ultrasounds or xrays done?
IMO the vet should be able to give you pain meds other than something that has to be put in her mouth. I suggest visiting another vet or talk to your current one and ask for more options. There are too many pain meds available that can be put in food, so there's no reason your cat should have to continue suffering.
Interesting question - hope more will respond.
I have a 21 yr. old F cat that does that - started as an occasional thing, now maybe once or twice a day. I don't get the impression she's in physical pain but maybe she is - being an elderly cat it could be things are hurting.
On the other hand, most cats Ive had who I've known to be in pain from injury or illness haven't ever howled - they just get real stoic and go hide somewhere in the dark where you can't find them.
To me it sounds more like she's in heat although that's not possible. She was in heat a few times and then got spayed.
I've thought dementia because it's almost like she's in a trance - doesn't hear me if I come in - but then when I start petting her she's all purrs and cuddles.
On the other hand, I do know she is partly or all deaf, and may be somewhat blind, so it may not be a trance, it may be she just can't hear or see well.
My friend's old cat also does it and she thinks it's because the cat just can't hear herself and doesn't know what a ruckus she's making.
I have to put her in the bedroom sometimes during the day because she doesnt get along with the other cats so maybe she gets lonely.... and with her limited vocabulary all she can do to express it is to howl? She never does it if I'm in the same room with her.
yowling is a common behavior in aged cats and is not necessarily associated with any medical problem, other than possibly going deaf. Senility is sometimes suspected, but hard to actually diagnose in a cat. But if you have looked at all the major possibilities, it may be just 'old cat yowling'. Seems more common in really old siamese and Himalayans.

WWDC Sells Out In 2 Minutes; Ticket On eBay 45 Minutes Later 162
from the makes-you-crave-them-fortnightly dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Just curious, as an iOS and an OS X dev before that, I've never really seen any reason to go to this -- even when I lived close enough I happened to walk by it on my way to the Whole Foods one year. Is there a lot of opportunity to make sales or schmooze your way into Apple employees' good graces? Otherwise, I'm not sure what the point is if you already know how to use the APIs and don't have a problem reading about upcoming changes online. I do remember them having some freebies and stuff at previous ones, but nothing worth the ticket price.
Shhhh! You're not supposed to question the merits of anything with even half this much hype. It crushes the souls of the sheople who paid exhorbitant ticket prices and made travel arrangements and bragged to their buddies that they will be attending.
There they are now, staring saucer-eyed at the Marketing Dept. waiting for the meaning of their lives to be validated. Don't ruin it for them.
While transferring tickets for WWDC is generally not allowed, an ambitious eBay seller is attempting to get $10K for the $1,600 ticket.
And if the result was that he lost his $1600 then scalpers would stop doing this and ticket sales would go back to reflecting the actual demand for the event.
It's just like spam. Stop rewarding them and they go away. This is even easier than spam because there is a real cost of doing business, not nearly free e-mails.
Course that would require something rather unAmerican like acting on principle. Well maybe I shouldn't pick on America. Just about all of Western civilization has forgotten what this means. I guess they're too busy being offended by something or the other.
Even a small one. $1600 is pretty standard for a conference or even a basic class about database structure or project management. It all depends on what's there. If it's a yearly sales pitch, then yea, that's expensive. But if there's a bunch of people there that are doing crazy new stuff it's worth it just to mingle. Some of the stuff I work on is so proprietary to our industry there's just no info on the net about it, so these conferences can be a goldmine.
Yeah. It's all the fanboys. [pixelcity.com]

Tigres pass up chance to move top
Check out the best shots from the Olympic gold-medal match between Mexico and Brazil by clicking here.
Tigres Monterrey passed up the chance to move top of the fledgling Mexican Apertura standings on Saturday as they could only manage a 2-2 home draw against second-bottom Queretaro.
The hosts required a 79th-minute equaliser from Juninho to salvage even a point after Hugo Ayala's own goal and an Emmanuel Tapia strike had turned the match in the lowly visitors' favour following Lucas Lobos' 48th-minute opener.
The result kept Tigres unbeaten but they remained a point behind leaders Leon after four games.
The other three matches in the Mexican top flight on Saturday also finished in draws.
Pachuca twice came from behind to secure a 2-2 scoreline at home to fifth-placed Tijuana.
Pablo Aguilar and Fernando Arce were on target for the visitors, who had substitute Fidel Martinez sent off in the 82nd minute, with Felix Borja and Nery Castillo restoring parity for the hosts.
Rubens Sambueza earned Club America a 1-1 tie against Atlas, cancelling out Hugo Rodrigues' strike on the stroke of half-time.
San Luis substitute Luis Rodriguez needed only two minutes to make a goalscoring impact after his half-time introduction against Monterrey, getting his team back on level terms after Humberto Suazo had given the visitors a ninth-minute lead.
Monterrey lost Cesar Delgado to a red card 20 minutes into the second half but San Luis could not capitalise on their extra man and remained searching for their first win of the campaign.

The Morning Glory bills itself as a "finer diner," and offers traditional touches such as big mugs of steaming coffee (although the mugs are pewter). But the "finer" comes in the updated, wholesome versions of diner fare such as homemade catsup on every table; grilled ahi tuna with wasabi mayo on a brioche bun; thick pecan waffles with whipped peach butter; and enormous, flaky biscuits that accompany breakfast. Unless you're an early weekend riser, weekdays are a better
bet. The wait for weekend brunch can be epic.

Private investigator Michael Courtland had promised to watch over Shannon Vaughn, the target of a vengeful enemy. But the moment Michael saw her, he knew protecting her would be more than just duty. And when escaping certain death left them stranded on a deserted island, he found himself longing to be with her, hold her, make love to her....
Shannon couldn't deny her attraction to Michael, but could she trust him? Though he'd saved her life, she could tell he had secrets--secrets that could tear them apart. Yet as danger closed in on them, she wondered what she would do without him--and she realized that wasn't a thought she wanted to entertain....

My first cider and my first post, though I have been following the forum for some time.
I got 30L (approx 7 gallons?) of freshly pressed apple juice 2 weeks ago.
I let it ferment on its wild yeast for approx a week, before I could manage to go to a shop and by some Nottingham yeast and hydrometer.
My first reading read 1.030 (after having fermented for 1 week). I decided to bump the cider up a bit and added approx 5 pounds of normal white sugar. I also pitched the Nottingham yeast straight in to the solution. The reading 3 days later was 1.041, and its both smelling and bubbling away nicely.
So here are my two questions.
1. How will the wild yeast and Nottingham interact? Is there any reason to believe that one string will take over? and in that case which one?
I have no reason to believe that the wild yeast is bad, I'm just curious. The guy I bought the juice from is a cider brewer here in Norway, and he recommended I let the cider ferment on the wild yeast.
2. I added the sugar straight into the fermentation keg/jar. Is that a problem? Do I risk having a lot of unfermented sugar in the bottom of the cider? And if so, should I shake/stir the cider while fermentation is still ongoing and not too much alcohol has yet formed?
Replies are much appreciated
How do you know the wild yeast had taken off? Did you have bubbles through the airlock? Why do you want to use Notty if the cider guy told you to spontaneous ferment? The theory is that the yeast find search and destroy the sugar you dumped in, but I like to remove the airlock, install a nondrilled bung, lay the carboy on its side and jostle it back and forth. Be careful-- the fermentation will build pressure during this rolling, and will release gas and spray when you remove the bung. You should get flavor contributions from both yeast strains. Let us know how it turns out.
I don't have much experience with wild yeast...have my 1st 5 gal batch fermenting now. Normally when you pitch a commercial yeast in a fresh juice it will overpower any wild yeasts. Since your wild yeast has a head start, hard to tell what may happen. Bound to be good and tasty though.
The wild yeast bubbled nicely so it was definitely active when I added the Nottingham. The smell is fresh so it seems its working fine for now, though it will be hard to repeat the same result if good. Added it mostly after having read the fine reviews of it on the forum.
My worry is that dead yeast somehow covers any undissolved sugar in the bottom, and that the active yeast does not find the sugar? Is that even a risk?
What do you think about just stirring the cider instead of rolling it? Will that add more or less oxygen to the cider given closed carboy vs open carboy?
Stirring or even swirling it will work well.
Yeast are quite persistant at finding any available sugar.

They all stared at me. "Will you do it?"
My family is used to me saying, "no way!" They all have the adventure seeking gene. I have the gene that prefers to keep my two feet safely on the ground and my stomach from feeling as though it's shooting out my mouth. I'm perfectly happy in the most peaceful situations like sitting on a beach with some sangria and a book.
This time I said, "sure." I think their mouths hit the floor. It seemed a much better alternative to the jumping out of an airplane skydiving which Eric has done twice and Arielle and Kai are eager to try. I knew there was no way I was ever going to jump out of a plane. However, I was curious to see what it felt like to fly.
We were very happy and grateful when we called iFLY and they told us that as long as we could get Arielle up two flights of stairs they would be happy to have her indoor skydive. Thank you, iFLY!
We put on our gear and sat and watched the group before us. Up, up, up someone went with the instructor and then they both came spinning down. I decided I was going to tell my instructor to skip that part for me. I really didn't need to go too high or spin. I just wanted the coward experience.
Arielle went first.
Kai was next.
I'm still wondering how our instructor was able to stand still. Practice I guess. If you watch the video you'll see what he can do. Amazing!
Then Eric gave it a try.
My husband – always smiling! Love that about him. He said it felt the same as skydiving once you're out the airplane door. Not having to worry about a parachute opening… priceless!
Finally, it was the chicken's turn.
I'm ready to go back and do it again. Here's the video if you want to see the instructor skydive on his head and me spinning way up… and way down! Yep, I forgot to tell the them I wanted the coward experience. Maybe because a teeny tiny bit of me actually wanted to see what it was like.

When his dad tells him that he's being shipped off to Strongwoods Survival Camp, he is less than thrilled.

To top it off, the one staff member, Max, seems to be borderline insane. The one bright spot in his camp experience is Monica, a beautiful girl from the nearby music camp. The final event at camp is the Survival Games and Henry is determined to win, but he's the first one eliminated, right after the game begins. He walks back into the main building and sees Max shot to death by a trio of criminals.

About this location
The Turkish Aegean Coast region
If you prefer a more peaceful day, you could take a daily boat trip to the host of ancient Greek Queen Cleopatra.
Kaya Village
Half an hour from Çalis, Rock tomb of King Amyntas, the pine trees and abondoned houses.Some of the houses have been restored and and are in use today as restaurants. You can still feel the athmosphere of Greek history. You can walk, cycle or even horse-ride around the village.
A miracle of nature and breathtaking views of the turqoise sea. The Blue Lagoon and Oludeniz draw crowds of visitors each year to its scenic shores. The best shore in Turkey.
Where the desert meets the Sea. A fabulous sunset....
The Valley of Butterflies
The best nature on Earth where you can see millions of butterflies and ponds of waterfalls.
Pinara (Ruins)
The beautiful site of Pinara was one of the three major cities in the Xanthos valley and one of the six principal cities of Lycia dating back to 5th century BC. It was probably founded as an extension of the overpopulated Xanthos. According to Manecrates, a 4th century BC historian, the leaders of Xanthos felt their city was overpopulated and so they split the city into three groups, settling one at Pinara.
These are actually the main reasons why you should come to Fethiye. It is a place where you can taste and enjoy everything.....All of these places will be just a few kms from where you will be....
Calis Beach
It is a place which most of the tourists prefer for their visits to Fethiye. In fact, it is in the centre of all the other attractions so it is very easy to choose from the options in terms of what to do and where to go. Everything you need from restaurants to markets is available in the area. The nearest amenities are within 1 km.
When you reach the beach, you could choose from a variety of different activities such as water sports, boat trips, and some of the extreme sports like parachuting, paragliding...If you choose to come towards the end of July, you could even see the Caretta Carettas (sea turtles) hatchling and heading towards the sea at midnight. It is actually a fantastic experience.

The automatic budget cuts slated to kick in Jan. 2, 2013 could have a devastating impact on the job market in shedding more than 2 million jobs, many of which belong to key federal employees, new analysis shows.
"The results are bleak but clear-cut," said Stephen Fuller, professor and director for regional analysis at George Mason University, who conducted the research with Chmura Economics and Analytics on behalf of the Aerospace Industries Association.
The findings conclude 2.14 million U.S. jobs could be eliminated if the Budget Control Act's sequestration directive takes place and budget cuts of $1.2 trillion occur throughout the federal government. Fuller said the unemployment rate will rise above 9 percent and decrease projected economic growth in 2013 by two-thirds.
"An already weak economy will be undercut as the paychecks of thousands of workers across the economy will be affected from teachers, nurses, construction workers to key federal employees such as border patrol and FBI agents, food inspectors and others," he said.
The spending cuts affecting defense and non-defense discretionary spending in the first year of implementation will trim down the nation's gross domestic product by $215 billion. Personal earnings of the workforce will decrease by nearly $110 billion, according to the analysis. California, Virginia and Texas are expected to see the largest potential job losses.
In responding to the bleak numbers in the report, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), said the analysis emphasizes sequestration "will also crush our economy, devastate our defense industrial base, and put tens of thousands of Americans out of work."
"Republicans and Democrats must work together now to find alternate spending reductions that will not add a national security crisis to our fiscal crisis," she said.

I am a federal employee. My paycheck goes right back into the economy. I buy the same items as the private sector. Food, clothing, cars, computers, etc. Just think what is being said here. Unemployment is already high and a lot higher than the numbers being touted in the press. Do you know what doesn't get counted in those numbers? The people who ran out of unemployment benefits and those that have dropped off the unemployment grid. Actual numbers are reported to be as high as 20 percent or higher. Now lets damage the economy further by removing another 2.14 million jobs?!?! That is the same thing as you having shot yourself in one foot and thinking that by shooting yourself in the other foot will just make it all better! The country needs as many people working as it can. The smart thing to do is to get more and more people back to work. If people would just pay attention, they would see the dismantling of this country step by step, day by day!
Government spending is certainly not "...simply pooled collective resources to accomplish things that are either not profitable to private business, or too large in scale to be handled by small private collectives." If that were simply the case, there would be no justification for socioeconomic categories of small businesses (e.g. HUBZone, SDVO, 8(a), 8(m)) to support with targeted "pooled collective resources" to do very profitable things. Government spending ought to simply accomplish things that are inherently governmental, and nothing else. Leaving it to the government to decide what's not profitable for private businesses (as if they could figure that out anyway) or is too big to accomplish by small companies, and as a result of that decision remove yet additional "pooled collective resources" from the marketplace in order to create yet additional government institutions to do that work themselves is obviously and definitely not in the country's best interest.
@MBA: Not nonsense, and I am sure that anyone involved with building roads, law enforcement, fighting wildfires, protecting this country, delivering health care to veterans, doing medical research at NIH, etc would vehemently disagree that their paychecks they turn around and spend on food, tolls, gas, clothes, etc are useless. Sounds to me like your "MBA" is a bit useless!
I think it's high time that we exercised our perogative to vote ALL of the incumbants out of office, sending a clear message to both political parties that they need to either be a part of the solution, or get out of the way.
I agree. This is a bit like the misconception that reigned at the time when Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations. At the time many nations thought they created wealth by stealing gold and silver from other lands. Adam Smith set them straight - business enterprises create wealth. We have forgotten the lesson and now believe that government jobs somehow create wealth and prosperity.

Lawmakers hope for 1 last vote on higher ed structure
BISMARCK -- A proposal to eliminate the State Board of Higher Education was shot down twice Thursday, with lawmakers hoping it comes back up today.
House Concurrent Resolution 3047 failed 24-23 in the Senate on Thursday afternoon, and an attempt to reconsider the vote failed later in the day by a 24-22 vote.

Cute plant ties
minnie_txFebruary 24, 2003
I saw this link over at the
Garden Web Junk Forum
Here is a link that might be useful: cute plant ties
Quite cute! and they look like fun to make!
But did you see the other projects on that site? (which is a new one to me, btw, thanks!) I liked the one for the Tiny Vase Pins. They look like glazed pottery clay in the pic. The site recommends Plaid brand outdoor gloss sealer --I wonder if that's as good as the Flecto Varathane? It's probably easier to find! However, I wouldn't use "Super" glue to attach the pin back.
That site also shows how to make Rose Bud Thumbtacks that are cute.
I hope you've had a chance to play with your clay, Minnie?

Lowry rallies to win Portugal event
VILAMOURA, Portugal (AP)
Shane Lowry of Ireland won the Portugal Masters on Sunday after a final-round 5-under 66 to edge out England's Ross Fisher by one stroke with a 270 total.
LEADERBOARDHow did your favorite golfer fare? Visit our European Tour leaderboard.
Lowry started the round four shots off the lead, but he made an eagle on the par-4 11th to move ahead of overnight leader Bernd Wiesberger.
The 25-year-old Lowry then traded the lead with Fisher before taking advantage of Fisher's bogey on the 16th with a birdie on the 17th hole.
Fisher had one last chance after Lowry bogeyed the 18th, but the Englishman also had a bogey to allow Lowry to claim his second career European Tour win.
''I cannot believe this,'' Lowry said. ''I can't explain how I feel, really. It's a dream come true; I'm over the moon. I thought this could be my day, and thankfully it is.''
Lowry shot 14 under through the four rounds on the Oceanico Victoria Golf Course. He won the Irish Open three years ago as an amateur
''It was like playing in Ireland. It was crazy; it was great,'' he said. ''Everyone was referring to me as the fellow who won the Irish Open as an amateur, but now I've won such a prestigious event I don't know what to say.''
Michael Campbell (68) of New Zealand finished third, two shots back. Austria's Wiesberger (73) was a further shot back in fourth, followed by England's Richard Finch (70) in fifth.

Love looking at all the IMAGINATIVE swap boxes.
Because I was gone when so many of the boxes arrived I didn't respond to each box and feel guilty. But, I have been, & remain, so behind in all my life areas that I couldn't take the time to respond to each one. So here is a general WOW.
There were such wonderful things in each box. This forum has such generous, thoughtful, and funny people. I love being part of it. I am about to post a link for the members of my cookbook club. They keep hearing me talk about you and your wonderful tips, recipes, information, and ideas. So there will be lots of lurkers from Northern CA, and maybe new members!
Last week I brought the Cape Cod Sea Salt from Debbie's package. It was a perfect addition to my Italian tasting of the tray of Italian cheeses to go with fresh figs, rosemary flatbread, bagettes and the white truffle honey and 30 year old balsamic I bought in the central market in Florence. I wish I could send all of you the truffle honey! It's so aromatic that if I open the jar, and you all concentrate, maybe you can catch a whiff!
Can't wait for the next swap! XOXO Janet

Containerization Is More than the New Virtualization
Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment.
This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their smaller footprint, shorter boot times, and higher consolidation factors, they also bring a lot of new features and use cases that were not possible with classical virtual machines.
In his session at DevOps Summit, Jerome Petazzoni, Senior Engineer at Docker, will focus on one of those features: separation of operational concerns. Specifically, he will demonstrate how some fundamental tasks like logging, remote access, backups, and troubleshooting can be entirely decoupled from the deployment of applications and services. This decoupling results in independent, smaller, simpler moving parts; just like microservice architectures break down large monolithic apps in more manageable components.
Speaker Bio:
Jerome Petazzoni is a senior engineer at Docker, where he helps others to containerize all the things. In another life he built and operated Xen clouds when EC2 was just the name of a plane, developed a GIS to deploy fiber interconnects through the French subway, managed commando deployments of large-scale video streaming systems in bandwidth-constrained environments such as conference centers, operated and scale the dotCloud PAAS, and various other feats of technical wizardry. When annoyed, he threatens to replace things with a very small shell script.
Using Docker For a Complex IoT Application
Aater Suleman, CEO & Co-Founder at Flux7, is an industry veteran in performance optimization on servers and distributed systems. He earned his PhD at the University of Texas at Austin, where he also currently teaches computer systems design and architecture. His current interests are in optimizing DevOps and reducing cloud costs.
In his @ThingsExpo presentation, Aaater Suleman will discuss DevOps, Linux containers, Docker in developing a complex Internet of Things application.
The goal of any DevOps solution is to optimize multiple processes in an organization. And success does not necessarily require that in executing the strategy everything needs to be automated to produce an effective plan. Yet, it is important that processes are put in place to handle a necessary list of items.
Flux7 is a consulting group with a focus on helping organizations build, maintain and optimize DevOps processes. The group has a wide view across DevOps challenges and benefits, including:
- The distinct challenge of a skills shortage in this area and how organizations are coping to meet demands with limited resources.
- The technical requirements: From stacks to scripts, and what works.
- The practical and political challenges: Beyond the stacks and the human element is a critical success factor in DevOps.
Recently at Flux7, we developed an end-to-end Internet of Things project that received sensor data to provide reports to service-provider end users. Our client asked us to support multiple service providers for his new business venture. We knew that rearchitecting the application to incorporate major changes would prove to be both time-consuming and expensive for our client. It also would have required a far more complicated, rigid and difficult-to-maintain codebase.
We had been exploring the potential of using Docker to set up Flux7's internal development environments, and, based on our findings, believed we could use it in order to avoid a major application rewrite. So, we decided to use Docker containers to provide quick, easy, and inexpensive multi-tenancy by creating isolated environments for running app tier multiple instances for each provider.
What is Docker?
Docker provides a user-friendly layer on top of Linux Containers (LXCs). LXCs provide operating-system-level virtualization by limiting a process's resources. In addition to using the chroot command to change accessible directories for a given process, Docker effectively provides isolation of one group of processes from other files and system processes without the expense of running another operating system.

Internet Traffic In Libya Goes Dark Amid Upheaval 36
from the it's-all-crazy-out-there dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
By simply rolling over, Hosni Mubaruk may have ended up costing more lives in the long run than if he had just dropped a daisy cutter on Tahrir Square.
Instead, he helped to inspire hope in the hearts of dissidents who will continue to try to follow in the footsteps of Egyptians, but will be massacred.
I do not think the number of people being prevented from having internet access dictates how "significant" the issue is in this case. Egypt was mostly trying to prevent people from organizing protests when they cut off internet access. Libya on the other hand is trying to keep news of the government's attacks upon their own people from getting out.
It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
Aren't you glad you're not getting all the government you pay for now?

Tom F from Sudbury, MA recommends this vacation rental We rented Cliff Rose for October 2014 and have already rented it for the same month 2015. This was our first time using an online service and the condo exceeded our expectations in terms of decor, views, convenience and comfort. Located just off 89A in West Sedona, we could walk to Safeway and restaurants or dine at the Sedona Rouge, also down the street. The beds were very comfortable and we had never seen a larger washer and dryer, which were great for laundering our hiking cloths. The kitchen was well equipped and the views from the dining area and patio of Thunder Mountain make this condo an ideal place for us and for others we love Sedona.

Tacos de la Noche's Lex Petras Brings Sin and Street Food to Belltown
Photo by Tiffany RanLex Petras spent 20 years behind the bar and working front of the house at local restaurants before crossing the line to attend culinary school at the Cordon Bleu and entering the kitchens of the erstwhile Artisinal, Picnic, and Bar del Corso. Today, Petras is the owner and purveyor of sin at Tacos de la Noche, a cozy taco stand next to Belltown Billards. More often considered the stop for late night street food, Petras recently started lunch service at Tacos de la Noche, but for Petras, staying out late has kept things interesting.

Queen City Grill's Oscar Montejano Helps Open Tacos de la Noche at Belltown Billards
The (Alleged Adventures of Phoenix Jones
How did you come to set up shop in this little space?
I know the guy that has Belltown Billards. I go way back. I worked at the Queen City Grill and he owns part of the Queen City Grill, so I knew it existed. I talked with him and he was opened to the idea. I went in and we came up with some drawings. He was cool with what I did. I built him a storage space to make up for what he was using it for, and there it was. That was it.
I was looking to do something in the neighborhood there. It's got too many hot dog stands over there. The location made sense, and I love street food. I talked to Oscar [Montejano], who runs the Queen City Grill kitchen and we came up with a few menu items that seem to work.
What would be your ideal street food meal?
Wow, there's a lot. I'd actually like to have the taco shop to [offer] even more authentic Mexican street food. I don't know if I have the space in the place I have now, but I'm looking at that. I'm going to try and add some soups to the menu.
Ideal street food though, I always love a doner kabob. I had that in Germany. There's just so much. It's always meat on a stick with some bread. I'm happy with just a good sausage and some mustard.
Do you see a lot of interesting things during those late night hours?
Some people imbibe a bit, maybe they shouldn't. I've been asked by several people to get a little camera and do a live feed, post some Youtube videos. There's some funny stuff that happens out there. Women have a hard time with high heels in the rain on the slope. There are some damaged knees.
I do get to see Phoenix Jones quite a bit. He's the guy that dresses up like the superhero and actually fights real crime. So he runs by often with his band of merry men. The really late night stuff, when it gets to be 3am, it's doormen, security guards, and bartenders after they've finally wrapped up their shop. I get a collection of the restaurant scene, and a bunch of big guys who'll protect me if things go bad, so that's always nice. There's some wild stuff.
I do some hot sauces. There's the seven that I have and they're named after the seven deadly sins. Wrath is the hottest. It's made with ghost chilies. A lot of people come and ask for the hottest and I have to warn them, and they say things like, "Oh, I'm Mexican," or "I'm Indian. It's not a problem," and then they end up crying on their knees in the street. It's really, really hot.
The seven deadly sins at Tacos de la NocheHow did you land on having seven hot sauces?
It started as 14, 15, or 16 and I wittled it down to the ones that I wanted. It's also quite a bit of sauce making. It's a once a week process. Some people told me just to have two, but I like to have a bit of variety. I got down to seven and I was trying to figure out how to name them. The deadly sins just seemed right because it was a late night operation. There's a lot of sin happening in the wee hours there.
You worked front of the house for some time, but what led you to want to start cooking?
I've always been in between. I've always hung out with both sides. I'm interested in food. I like to cook. I've always been that type of guy where if the night is slow, I'd go back there and knock out some shallots. I've always been hands on that way.
Since you've worked as both a bartender and a cook, do you prefer one over the other?
I like 'em both. I really live and breathe the restaurant idea. It's really more than a job. I enjoy it. I like the lifestyle. I like getting there early before it opens and knocking out a little egg dish if you're in a restaurant that doesn't serve an egg dish, and winding down afterwards. I like the back of the house, the production side, and I like the service end.
So when you're sitting at the bar, what's your drink of choice?
I'm a wine drinker. I like [wine from] the Loire River Valley from Northern France, either the red cab franc or the white sauvignon blanc, and I like to drink those at Bar Ferd'nand at the Melrose Market.

Food-truck trend has roots in the neighborhood
It is frustrating when a good idea goes ignored for years. If only the world were paying attention, you say to yourself, they'd all be on board. Toda la bola.
I always felt that way about the taco truck.
When I was a kid, we had a neighbor, a la otra cuadra, who made his living selling food from the shiny chrome kitchen that sat on the back of his truck. My brother and I played with the family's kids, and during one Saturday afternoon soccer tournament, our families shared some really tasty tacos and sandwiches. We weren't really tight, but I remember their truck being a presence in our neighborhood; the big blocky truck sat in the family's driveway, just like my dad's blue and white Super Cab sat in ours, every day after the workday was done. It was out there for years.
I was fascinated by the truck; I remember driving past their home and thinking about how cool their truck was, and how cool it was to be able to bring lunch to people por todos lados every day.
It was years before I heard one of the meaner neighborhood kids refer to a food truck as a roach coach. And as I got older, I realized that not everyone shared my fascination. Were the eats safe? Did they have anything other than tacos, Lucas candy, chamoy, pickles and Fritos? Was the lack of running water and a standing water fixture going to be a problem?
That was not fair.
It also was a long time ago. Y cómo cambian las cosas, no?
Today, I think of that neighbor's truck every time I drive past a food truck park. I've read about how tough economic times helped start the ignition on the new wave of food trucks. I've heard about the incredible gourmet meals from food trucks that my friends have dined on, although today I guess they call them mobile kitchens. Frankly, I've been surprised to see area hipsters embrace the idea that one really can get good eats on wheels.
What I haven't heard in a while are the words "roach coach."
Along with gourmet meals served on paper baskets and wrapped in foil squares, here's what we can take away from modern food trucks: They are a great idea. But they also were a great idea years ago. And I'd like to think that the man with big blocky truck down the street knew that.
I hope those budding chefs in the mobile kitchens know who paved the road for them. And the idea that they might not is one I find frustrating.

Food Truck Terrorism? FDNY Report Says Trucks Pose Serious Threat
With trendy food trucks proliferating in New York City, officials have become increasingly concerned that the restaurants-on-wheels could bring consequences far more serious than the ones produced by mice droppings and unlicensed vendors.
According to a document obtained by Public Intelligence, the FDNY believes food trucks also serve as attractive breeding grounds for terrorist activities.
In the report, "Food Trucks: A Transient Hazard," the FDNY notes 3,100 trucks permits have been issued this year alone, meaning terrorists could easily get their hands on a black market permit of their own.
The FDNY says trucks are actually an "excellent surveillance platform due to their access and long duration stays."
The report also expresses concern that terrorists could pack popular trucks, stationed in "high profile" locations, with explosives.
The recipe for the perfect terrorist plot? Who knows.
While it's comforting to know the city is dedicated to its counterterrorism efforts– see, for example, last week's foiled Federal Reserve terror plot– we can't help but remember the city's tendency to exaggerate terror threats.
So perhaps it's best not to be too alarmed and we can all get back to chasing overpriced food trucks on Twitter, enjoying all the tacos, ice cream, dumplings, pizza and Korean burritos they have to offer.

Food truck program off to a slow start
Tavantzis, who attended the first night Friday, said customers quickly began lining up to order food at the sole vendor.
We had a few customers within the first few minutes, she said. The food was excellent. (The owner) was very, very excited.
Tavantzis attributed the minimal amount of food trucks to a lack of awareness of the program among food truck owners.
About 15 spots are available along Peck Street.
On Friday, two truck owners drove by and showed interest in being a part of the program, Tavantzis said. One of those trucks serves Salvadoran food, she said, noting that the variety of food will be more than just tacos as the program expands.
I expect that, within time, it will be growing, she said.
The Watsonville City Council approved the project during its Oct. 9 meeting, agreeing to allow the food trucks to operate on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 p.m. to midnight for a three-month trial period.

Buffalo now charges $1,000 a year, and Kennedy says that is stunting a intensity expansion of a food lorry industry.
"What we're perplexing to do is grow jobs in New York State. Grow jobs in western New York," says Kennedy.

I am a retired happy independent woman enjoying all that life brings living in my own home in the beautiful Blue Mountains west of Sydney. My home plays a very important role in my life as I am generally a home lover and try to make it as warm and welcoming to all who walk through my door.
I love having friends and family to stay to share a unique ambiance that the spectacular views create from the main living areas and deck, to join me for a BBQ on the deck during the summer or a delicious home cooked meal with a good red in front of a roaring fire in the colder months.
