Monticello Theatre
80 Monticello Avenue,
Jersey City,
1 person favorited this theater
Open since at least 8/1/1923 when a Wurlitzer organ (opus 644) was installed. This theatre is listed as open in the 1951 Film Daily Yearbook.
Any additional information on this theatre would be greatly appreciated.

A Wurlitzer theater organ opus 1737 style "B" was installed in the Monticello Theater on 9/21/1927. I assume that this Wurlitzer replaced the one installed in 1923.
This was being advertised in 1929 as the Fox Monticello, which would explain the later affiliation with the Skouras circuit. However, the Monticello might have had another owner prior to Fox, which took over many "independent" theatres circa 1928-29. Skouras was formed to take over many of the Fox theatres when Fox went bankrupt at the onset of the Depression.
Here's a rare view of the Monticello's marquee, copied from a February, 1935 trade journal: www.i8.photobucket.com/albums/a18/Warrengwhiz/jcmonticello.jpg
Here's a new link to a 1935 view of the marquee:

From the google street photos, it has quite an impressive widefront facade of fancy red brick and white stone. as of 3/24/10 is still a church, the bricks have all been cleaned – it looks obviously renovated. Windows in the auditorium area – they may have done major remodeling in the auditorium. Looks like a bad neighborhood – the doors along the front have roll-down corrugated gates. It is still home to Miracle Temple Pentacostal Church – at least they were having recitals there in 2009.
"Jersey City: In Vintage Postcards", page 92, has an old postcard image. States that theater was built ca 1910 and became a church in ca 1960.
In between being a legit theatre and a church it was an adult theatre. It was billed as "Jersey City's most unusal theatre." That started an uproar. The Catholic Church's Legion of Decency went into action with pickets outside the theatre. Sermons were devoted to this Sodom and Gomorrah here in Jersey City(kind of ironic on two levels). No one was safe from this menance.
The City at behest of the Church would close it on some violation. It would reopen, be closed again and so on.
Around the corner on Communipauw Ave.was a police station. The two buildings were next to each other. They sometimes park would a police car in front of the theatre (in th bus stop)as an attempt to intimidate future patrons. When the #8 Jackson Ave. bus stopped in front. People would look away for fear of corruption and being turned into salt. Others would sneak a peek at it(myself included as a teen).
It was soft core porn, mild by today's stndards. The ads in The Hudson Dispatch and The Jersey Journal were tame. No graphic pictures only a silhouette of a female form and some info about the film.
I any event it closed due to harrasement and lack of business. I was never inside since I was too young. Then it was converted to the church in the 80's.
The area has seen better days. It was at one time a thrieving shopping area. There was also a nice mix of residential housing. The area has had bad times for over 30 years. It is a pity the City does nothing to revive the area. On the other hand, if they did do something; the theatre in all probability would be gone.
It is important that we preserve these gems. They each have a unique personality. They are part of our cinema history.
There was a sister theatre in Newark N.J. about 20 miles away. Same ads etc only a different name and city.
i used to sell newspapers in front of this thhere also in the sixties. it was all closed up by then, and people used to in it to urinate. was a bad nehborhood by then
Ah, growing up in JC! Certainly confer ALL that skin4ever says. I grew up on Bergen Ave (later Arlington) and, as a child, my dentist was just across the street from the Monticello. However, once in Greenville, I used to go the Fulton as a kid. Anyone remember that place?
Anyway, years later I eventually became a p-t film history teacher and lecturer. When teaching at Montclair, I used to bring the students to THE Stanley. That would give them a real sense of what theaters really looked like 'back in the day.'
Of course, that place was also changed into a church. however, the structure MUST (due to historical preservation reason) be kept intact! so, if you ever want to see a super movie palace – Italian Grotto setting with a sky, stars, and MOVING clouds one needs to head to that place. it is a Jehovah's temple at this point. So, one needs to listen to the lecture and the Statues are covered, but the grotto look is still there and the sky images are still present.
Now living in NH, nothing really like dear ole' JC Theaters. a few old ones and there is Silent Festival. I don't run it but do attend!
Bobby Harron, Blanche Sweet, and Lillian Gish would be proud!

Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) are areas located within the 100-year floodplain, defined as any area that has a one percent chance of flooding in any given year. Smaller scale floods (50-year and 10-year) have a greater chance of occurring in any given year and can also pose a significant flood hazard to persons and property in close proximity to channels and streams. Additionally, floods larger than the mapped 100-year event can occur.
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs)
The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) are the official maps showing the community's Special Flood Hazard Areas. These maps are utilized as the basis for local floodplain management regulations and mitigation efforts, to assess flood risk, and to determine if flood insurance is required for structure(s) on a property. Although these maps are not property specific (e.g., no lot boundaries), by using the major roads and flooding sources for reference, users can get an idea of the flood risks in their area.
These maps are available to view online at the FEMA Map Service Center and on SanGIS. The Map Service Center site has an address search feature that allows a user to find the correct FIRM panel using their address in an on-line search tool. Paper copies of the FIRMs are available at County library branches and at the Flood Control Counter at the County's Operation Center Annex at 5201 Ruffin Road, San Diego.
For additional assistance with using a FIRM, please contact the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) by phone at 1-877-FEMA-MAP (1-877-336-2627); or by e-mail at email@example.com. You can also visit http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ot_main.shtm, or contact the San Diego County Department of Public Works – Flood Control Counter staff at (858) 694-2055.
Letters of Map Amendment and Revision (LOMA/LOMR)
In some cases, a lender determines that a property is in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), or 100-year floodplain, and requires the owner to purchase flood insurance. If the property owner wishes to dispute the fact that they are in the SFHA, they can apply for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or a Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F), if fill placement is the basis of the request.
Forms for this application process may be found on FEMA's website at www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/frm_form.shtm.
You may also access tutorials designed to assist in the preparation of these forms at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ot_main.shtm. These tutorials will guide you through the application and provide tips on filling out the forms.
Upon receiving a completed application, FEMA reviews property-specific information and makes a final flood zone determination for the property. Once an application is received with all the required supporting data, the LOMA or LOMR-F is normally issued within 60 days. If the LOMA or LOMR-F removes the SFHA designation from the property, it can then be presented to the lender as proof that there is no Federal flood insurance requirement for the property. Bear in mind that even though a LOMA or LOMR-F may remove the Federal requirement for flood insurance, a lender retains the prerogative to require flood insurance.

I use this as a folder for the days itinerary and notes for my manager. Daily calender is visible thru the clear front, agendas and materials tuck nicely in behind the calendar! Sturdy poly keeps everything clean & dry. I did trim off the OUT label and placed a name card in the small pocket.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"Not only did the color and text come out exactly how we wanted, but having the option to decorate the back was most helpful! We uploaded a photo of us and wrote our donation message in lieu of favors on the bottom! 2 birds, one stone! And they cropped our photo beautifully!! This is a great option!!"
"This menu card looked stunning when it arrived. Wedding Paper Divas's customer service was excellent and answered all my questions. I worked with the designer to change the format for three courses instead of the four you see, and changed it to add images related to my wedding theme. The end result was amazing and I cannot wait to see these displayed on each plate at my wedding."
"The best part about this product was that I was able to completely change all of the layout to suit our event. The finished product is smart and elegant and looked really lovely on the table top at our wedding."
"I was so thrilled when I received my order. Everything is perfectly lovely. I know that my son and soon to be daughter-in-law will be pleased when they see this. Thank you!"
"The paper quality is very nice- sturdy and thick. I chose the blue ink color and it came out perfectly. I also needed this menu to be bilingual and they were able to accommodate this request by printing on the front and back (one language on each side). As usual- awesome customer service! I love my menus!"

Best Uses
Comments about Ibanez AEL2012ETKS 12-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I bought this guitar as a gift. I don't play guitar, but I had heard my husband mention Ibanez as being a decent maker and the reviews really helped make my choice. My husband was surprised and very happy with the sound and the action. Everyone who has heard it is impressed. I bought it used, condition level 2, but it looks brand new.
Comments about Ibanez AEL2012ETKS 12-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Just got this as my new toy. I have always loved the sound of a 12 string but had never actually thought about buying one. I was torn between this and a mandolin for new sound for our worship band at churh. Man am i glad i went with this! It sound amazing right out of the box, the action is great and the strings it came with sound really good. I bought some Elixir strings for it, but I am going to wait a bit before changing them out. I am very pleased with this purchase and can not wait to hear it plugged in this weekend!
Comments about Ibanez AEL2012ETKS 12-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
not bad for the price. plays well and sounds good.
i really wish they would have payed more attention
to finish and set up. it's a beautiful guitar as long as
you don't look really close.
Comments about Ibanez AEL2012ETKS 12-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I really like this 12 string. The action is low all the way down the neck. It sounds great acoustically and plugged in. The fishman electronics make it sound great with lots of flexability in the tone and voicing. The onboard tuner is great and works well. When I first took it out of the box I strummed it a few times and of coarse it wasn't totally in tune. I turned on the tuner and tuned each string to the green light and then played it and it sounded beautiful without any further tuning. The more I play it the more I like it and I am considering selling my electric 12 now. I really don't need it because this one does both acoustic and electric.
Love the on board tuner and the fishman electronics make it sound great.
The neck is straight and the action is low. Bought mine as a used one so maybe someone had already set it up, I don't know, but the action was beautiful right out of the box. Only had it for a few weeks but it's keeping tune quite well so far. Intonation is pretty good. The neck is much wider than my electric 12 but I like that, seems to make it easier to play more accurately since there is more space between the string sets and I can fingerpick it pretty well. The finish is nice but I would have liked a more transparent finish, this one appears almost solid black unless you're right next to it with good lighting then you can see some woodgrain showing through. I got it as a level 3 used which allows for heavy scratches and nics but it took a while to find a nic, just two small ones on the back. The scratches aren't that bad either. Almost like new!
Bought this as a used one and for what I paid this is a lot of guitar and very nice.
Comments about Ibanez AEL2012ETKS 12-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I love this guitar, it's easy to play, sound's great and look's great. The more I play it the more I like it.
Comments about Ibanez AEL2012ETKS 12-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This guitar plays great and sounds great both acoustically and amplified -- comperable with instruments of twice the price tag. The on-board tuner and electronics are very good. The additional XLR connection is a very nice feature, providing another good option for direct line amplification and/or recording. The guitar holds tune very well during hours of play and even during storage. The hardshell case really protects the instrument and helps keep the tuning -- definitley worth the investment. The only negative is the battery compartment which is a rather fragile design -- a possible future concern. The price tag for this quality of 12-string is amazing -- a great value product.
Comments about Ibanez AEL2012ETKS 12-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I absolutely love this guitar! It came perfectly set up right out of the box. action is good. Good clean sound with a nice bass punch. Its not a taylor but its definitely worth the money! I would reccomend this guitar to anyone..beginners and experienced players.
Comments about Ibanez AEL2012ETKS 12-String Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Beautiful guitar, looks great on stage, plenty of sound, nice maple eq profile, tuner is great, preamp is very good.
I bought this guitar used after enjoying playing on in the store. I love the look of the transparent black with gold tuners and all, very dynamic looking. I love the sound from the all-maple body, nice and bright with a quick punch on the low end. I look forward to the sound as the guitar ages. Plays well clear up the neck; on board tuner is very helpful. I play in a group with electric guitar and electric bass, this 12 is very loud and fills the sound out. Great combination of performance and style. If you can find a hard shell case for it grab it, this is an enormous guitar and hard to fit; I have settled in the short term for a very large gig bag.
Durable, reliable components and construction, except for weakness in bridge support that may lead to bridge pulling top out of level and affecting sound and action. Easily repaired.
Terrific 12 string guitar for the money, dynamic looking, great sound, very playable.

(PACH bur.ning)
The purposeful and controlled burning of a section of an ecosystem. Also: patch-burning. patch burn v., n. patch-burn adj.
Example Citation:
Dr. Samuel D. Fuhlendorf, a professor of rangeland ecology at Oklahoma State, and his colleagues are working on a rotational approach, patch burning, in which the prairies will be burned every three or four years, a span they say is sufficient to maintain grasslands. Animals would be free to graze on burned or undisturbed parts of the landscape.
Dr. Fuhlendorf said: "We have three years of data from three sites along an east-west gradient across the Great Plains. We compare the patch burning approach to typical management of each area. So far, we have not been able to find any differences in livestock production but we have documented increased habitat diversity with patch burning. Greater diversity in habitat with the patch burning approach leads to an increased diversity in insects, small mammals and grassland birds, so it proceeds through the food chain."
E. Vernon Laux, "Sky Is Falling on Prairie Chicken, Sacrifice of a Rite of Spring," The New York Times, May 28, 2002
Earliest Citation:
Mr Taylor, whose pioneering family settled the nearby Taylorville district late last century, has long known the land supports abundant birdlife. But when a survey prior to plans to patch-burn to increase the useful pasture revealed its avian riches, conservationists acted.

Brad Crouch, "How 51,300HA of marginal mallee country became bastion of survival for threatened birds," Sunday Mail, June 22, 1997
Today's term is an example of what tall-forehead types call anthropogenic (man-made) fire. The phrase patch burning may be new, but the practice is far from it. Australian aborigines have applied controlled fires to their lands for tens of thousands of years, a practice labeled firestick farming by anthropologists. Humans all over the world now use burning-off programs to maintain biodiversity in forests and brushlands and to improve soil conditions in pastures and agricultural areas. (In an agricultural context, slash-and-burn tactics are often called swidden farming.) In most of these programs, the sections of the ecosystem to be burned are rotated, with the time between burns called the fire-return interval.

Japanese Albuquerque Restaurants Albuquerque - DowntownDim sum and sushi under the same roof? It's like a dream come true. The beautiful interior of the antique filling station just east of the federal courthouse is a marked change from the cozy home interior of where AmerAsia used to reside near the University. Hyangami Yi's food is just as good as ever. Expect her familiar dim sum plates and buns, and feel free to order sushi like you've never had in this town from her brother Woo Youn. He's got all the usual sashimi and nigiri in his adjoining restaurant, but it's the original, creative rolls that really set Sumo apart—that, and the adorable little train that ferries your pickled ginger around the sushi bar. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 2 ] Sushi HanaMon-Fri: 11:30am-2:30pm, 4-9pm
Sat: noon-9:30pm
Closed Sunday (hours can change without notice) Full review: Another fish in the pond? (8/21/2008) Downtown's circle of Asian restaurants widens with Sushi Hana, a straight-shooting sushi joint with some Korean influences (it's from the former owner of Yen Ching). Small and boldly decked in red and black, you'll find affordable, familiar rolls in a contemporary atmosphere. Great for a quick lunch or a half-price sushi happy-hour trip (served from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. weekdays). (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 2 ] Sushi KingMon-Thurs: 11am-9:30pm
Fri: 11am-11pm
Sat: noon-11pm
Sun: noon-9:30pm (hours can change without notice) Sushi King is a small, hip, casual spot located a few doors up from the Century 14 Downtown movie theater. They serve fresh nigiri, sashimi and sushi rolls, plus an interesting assortment of seafood salads and noodle dishes. We love the variety and convenience this place offers when you've got a case of the Downtown ho-hums. They've also got excellent sake, so be sure to split a bottle with your sushi chef. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Mom runs the cash register and Pop hustles in the kitchen, making this place seem friendlier and more authentic than its competitor, Teriyaki Chicken Bowl. They also offer brown rice and let you pay a little more for extra broccoli instead of forcing you to give up your rice. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Albuquerque - FairgroundsFareast FuzionMon-Th: 11-9 pm
Fri: 11 am-10 pm
Sat: noon-10 pm
Sun: noon-9 pm (hours can change without notice) You may remember Bangkok Asian Fusion, which used to occupy this place. Now there's a grand, shiny new sushi bar, with a huge fish tank behind it that lays out generous portions of great sushi. (Sadly, the
tom yum
ain't what it used to be.) A plate of sashimi, densely and artfully arranged, turns the table into a school of piranhas. Each variety of fish is carefully garnished with complementary flavors, with the squid tossed in wasabi tobiko being particularly memorable. The sushi salad has so many chunks of raw fish among the greens that you can't stick your chopsticks in without getting any. (Alibi Staff, September 1, 2011) Add a Review Albuquerque - Far Northeast HeightsMr. Tokyo Japanese RestaurantLunch: Mon-Sat: 11:30am-2:30pm Dinner: Mon-Sat: 5-9pm
Closed Sunday (hours can change without notice) Full review: Tempting tempura (11/30/2006) Since we're long past the point when sushi was considered too exotic for New Mexico, it's time to start paying attention to other fine Japanese favorites like tempura, hibachi-grilled meats and seafood, teriyaki without the La Choy, and the beauty of udon noodles. Mr. Tokyo is modestly sized, moderately priced, and an excellent place for a quick, relaxing lunch or a quiet dinner with friends and family. They have mostly repeat customers because they're just so darn good, and the owner's pint-sized daughter, Shyana, will even wipe off half your table for you (give her a break, she's still a shortie). (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Sakura SushiMon-Thu: 11am-9:30pm
Fri-Sat: 11am-9:30pm
Sun: noon-9pm (hours can change without notice) Full review: Adventures in multiculturalism (11/6/2008) Sakura Sushi serves fresh, generous sushi (duh), as well as dishes from Thailand and Laos out of a small strip mall on north Wyoming. But if you order one thing, make sure it's the udon soup. One bowl is big enough for four people. Dip a spoon in and you'll strike heaps of firm, dense noodles, caramelized meats and crisp-tender vegetables floating in a sweet-and-savory broth. The curries and "monkey ball" appetizers are among the menu's other high notes. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Samurai Grill and Sushi BarLunch:
Mon-Sun: 11:30am-2:30pm
Mon-Fri: 5-9:30pm
Sat: 5-10pm
Sun: 5-9pm (hours can change without notice) Even if you don't get out much to the Southeast side of town (where the highest concentration of Asian restaurants are in Albuquerque), you can still get some of the best sushi around at Samurai Grill's original location in the Northeast Heights. The sushi tastes almost impossibly fresh, and the chefs are pros at presentation. Make sure you try one of the delicious specialty rolls. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Albuquerque - I-25 CorridorJasmine Thai and Sushi HouseMon-Thurs: 11am-2pm, 5-9pm
Fri: 11am-2pm, 5-9:30pm
Sat: 11am-9:30pm
Sunday: 5-9pm (hours can change without notice) Full review: No pain, no gain (2/21/2008) Chef Noi Zaintz, formerly of Bangkok Café, opened Jasmine Thai and Sushi House last June in The 25 Way shopping center. With brightly colored walls trimmed in gold and pools of low light, Jasmine has a sort of classed-up opium den feel. There are more than 60 items, plus sushi; the menu gives an equitable amount of attention to appetizers, soups, salads, entrées and an entire page of vegetarian dishes. The service is awesome, and so are the No. 18 (spicy beef
yum nuah
salad), the fresh spring rolls and the pad Thai. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 2 ] True SushiMonday - Thursday 11:00am-9:30pm; Friday 11:00am-11:00pm; Saturday 12:00pm-11:00pm; Sunday 12:00pm-9:30pm (hours can change without notice) Occupying the same space that Japengo once inhabited, True Sushi bears a strong resemblance to its predecessor. The art is the same, and the sushi chefs still watch sports, but this one is actually a branch on the Sushi King family tree. Much of the sushi is on the heavy side, like the "iron monkey roll"—a deep-fried spicy tuna roll topped with baked scallop, crawfish and fish eggs, underneath a mop of bonito shavings. It's tasty, and your date would probably be impressed by your menu prowess if you order one. (Alibi Staff, February 13, 2012) Add a Review Albuquerque - MidtownKokoro Japanese Restaurant is teeny-tiny in size with a menu succinctly pared down to a handful of quality home-style Japanese dishes—noodle soup (udon or soba), curry, donburi bowls, bento and a small sushi menu. The place is vegetarian/vegan-friendly with dishes like "just curry" (white rice with curry sauce and Japanese pickles), a wakame bowl of seaweed and noodles, and potato croquettes (tempura potato balls). Kokoro even includes complimentary and unlimited green tea, coffee or water with meals. If it's all about the little things, then Kokoro delivers in a big way. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 1 ] Albuquerque - Nob HillCrazy FishLunch:
Tue-Fri: 11am-2pm
Tue-Thu, Sun: 5-9:30pm
Fri-Sat: 5-10pm (hours can change without notice) The lunch menu at contemporary Crazy Fish is accessible and affordably priced, with selections like the teriyaki salmon lunch box ($6.95): salmon served with miso soup, rice, salad or stir-fried vegetables. Other options include calamari salad ($6.25) and a barbecued eel bowl ($7.25). At dinner, the menu is more exciting but not much more expensive. A starter of edamame will run you $3.50 and creamy Asian mushroom
pasta is $10.50. There's also a full sushi bar. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 1 ] Korean BBQ House & Sushi & SakeMon- Thu 11:30 am-9:30pm
Fri-Sat 11:30am-10pm
Sun 4pm -9pm
Closed Daily 2:30pm-4:30pm (hours can change without notice) Full review: There are rules to this game (2/1/2007) Sit out on the pretty patio and your server will help you cook your dinner on the built-in grills. They'll also show you how to wrap your spicy grilled meat or seafood in herb and lettuce leaves. For a full course of fine lunchtime cuisine, try the tofu kimchi appetizer, ginger tea and spicy chicken box plate. Nothing in Nob Hill goes down better. Go big on the appetizer list for the taste, but if you're cutting costs, the box plate menu offers more than enough chow for a starving midday appetite. And it's worth every penny. Also, Nob Hill's newest sushi bar (behind Korean BBQ House) offers all-you-can-eat sushi for $18 at lunch and $23 at dinner. Ordering á la carte is always allowed, but if you're going for the all-you-can-eat, you've got two pages full of options and an hour in which to explore them. Edamame, tempura, miso soup, rolls, hand rolls and a small selection of nigiri are all fair game. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Shogun SushiLunch:
Mon-Fri: 11:30am-2pm
Sat: 12:00pm-2:30pm
Mon-Thurs: 5:00-9:30pm Fri-Sat: 5:00-10:30pm
Closed Sunday (hours can change without notice) Too much time studying can turn the sweetest soul into a big 'ol crab. But just so you remember that not all crabs are bad, take a lunch or dinner break at Shogun. There's sushi, sashimi and nigiri, and the soft shell crab rolls are a treat worth mentioning a couple of times. The best part is watching your food get made right in front of you and then floated around the table on an armada of wooden boats. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review StreetFood AsiaSunday - Thursday 11am-10pm
Friday - Saturday 11am-11pm (hours can change without notice) On the streets of Asia, vendors often specialize in one dish handed down through generations, preparing quick meals for passersby like hot noodle bowls, exotic sandwiches and spicy skewered satays. It's a hotbed of cultural diversity including Vietnamese pho, Korean noodles, Japanese udon, and Malay and Chinese stir-fry. StreetFood Asia's menu offers a dizzying array of sauces, toppings, garnishes, meats, seafood, and vegetables in dinner portions or small plates in the heart of Nob Hill. Exotic bar drinks and an long list of excellent sakes adds sparkle to your meal. (Alibi Staff, July 12, 2011) Add a Review Albuquerque - Northeast HeightsAzuma Sushi and TeppanMon-Thurs:11am-2:30pm,5-9:30pm
Fri: 11am-10:30pm
Sat: noon-10:30pm
Sun: noon-9:30pm (hours can change without notice) Sure, from the outside Azuma still looks like a Black Eyed Pea, but inside every trace of country kitsch has been erased and replaced by a serene Japanese theme.
Half of Azuma is devoted to teppan tables where patrons can sit and watch as a cook prepares their dinners with a few flashy tricks. On the other side of the restaurant, booths are separated by pretty panes of frosted glass and a line of stools hug the sushi bar. In addition to sushi, Azuma's menu offers many cooked items including noodles and a variety of grilled meats and vegetables that will ensure the place's appeal to nearby families and folks who are new to Japanese food. Open until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 1 ] Buffet KingMon-Thu - 11 am - 9 pm, Fri - Sat 11 am - 10 pm, Sun - 11 am - 9 pm (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: American, Asian, Asian Fusion, Bakery/Sweets, Buffet/All-You-Can-Eat, Chinese, Dessert, Japanese, Vegetarian It's a Japanese restaurant that looks and smells like a Chinese restaurant. (You can smell the egg rolls from the parking lot.) The restaurant is part of a chain in a handful of locations around the Southwest, and the signs of heavy investment are plentiful—starting with the large glass fountain by the front door. Private dining rooms with cut-out floors beneath the table allow patrons tosit on the floor without actually bending their legs. A seafood soup in clear broth is as delicious as it looks. Although an order of
was on the chewy side, the plate of sashimi it came on contained some of the larger chunks of raw fish to be had in this town. And here's a penny-pinching math problem for you: Should you get the regular sashimi plate which contains 15 pieces for $20, or the deluxe which has 18 pieces for $30? We chose the regular, which actually had 17 pieces (what, you don't count the pieces when you get sushi?) and spent the savings on rolls. (Alibi Staff, December 6, 2012) Add a Review |

This was totally incompatable and would gel when mixed. This has not been used for years for automotive lubrication. All common syntetics used for engine lubrication now days are a Polyalphaolefin (Mobil 1) or a Dibasic Organic Ester type (AMSOIL). These are fully compatable with conventional oils. In fact Golden Spectro and AGIP Sint 2000 are mixtures of mineral and synthetic oils. It is always best to mix oils with the same rating (SG). This insures that the additive packages are compatable and will maintain their effectiveness. end clip--------- == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ End of perf-list-digest V1 #87 ****************************** +--------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts - Performance ----------------+ | Send posts to perf-list ....

DescriptionThe Plasticine section is the first part of the main (northern) wall, which is the first cliff you see. The climbing offers a mix of trad and sport and is good quality limestone. In the winter, later hours of the afternoon bring more shade, but since the reserve closes at 4PM, it isn't so much of an issue. The climbs are all single pitch, and a sport rack will be all you need to enjoy this fantastic piece of rock. Since this is the first cliff, and closest to the main trail, you will find yourself surrounded by many non climbers. However, they will likely keep their distance, as you have to cross a small creek to get to the base of the cliff. Nearly all routes have bolted anchors at the top with rappel rings. Getting ThereFrom the parking lot, follow the blue marked trail until you see a sign on the right which says "Climbing Permitted in this Area." Cross the creek, and set up shop. 1 Total Routes

After you cross the creek to get to the base of the climb, look at the bolt line furthest to your right, and gaze up at the climb. It looks pretty easy, and for the first part it is. The first bolt is a little run out, but chances are, if you're attempting a 6a (French scale) climb, it will be a piece of cake. The climb follows the bolts slightly right of the crack and then straight up. Don't let the first part of the climb fool you.

Research Synopsis:
My laboratory uses macromolecular X-ray crystallography and the tools of biochemistry and molecular biology to study the structures and mechanisms of proteins with interesting biological functions. A primary area of interest is the circadian oscillator, an intrinsic biological timing mechanism which regulates diverse aspects of physiology and behavior by anticipating the periodic environmental changes caused by the 24-hour cycle of the earth's rotation. We are interested in determining the atomic-resolution structures of the protein complexes which make up these molecular clocks to understand the biochemical mechanisms that allow them to (1) maintain a robust 24-hour period, (2) synchronize to environmental cues such as light and food, and (3) generate biological outputs.

The tackle by Schneiderlin on Welbeck when he was clean through on goal and maybe a clear yard away from him in the second half of the United/Saints game is the reason I love football.
Just perfection.
Martin Ansell
Is David Moyes the worst signing Sir Alex Ferguson made since Erik Djemba Djemba??
Well, This Is A Bit Strong
Just coming out of OT and I just don't care anymore.
Another **** performance.
Another 90 minutes of watching players who were good last season and don't seem to have a clue where they're playing this year.
Get Moyes out before it's too late, he's out of his depth and it's getting worse every week.
Leon (MUFC as if you haven't guessed)
'Grow Some Balls'
Moyes isn't a failure as a Man U manager at the moment but it's hard to see things improving in a hurry unless he grow some balls and stops wetting himself every time the other team starts attacking a bit.
Southampton are a decent team but you are at home, you are one nil up with Rooney and Van Persie up front...You don't play for one nil you go for goals. Would Fergie's team have let in a last minute goal? Possibly but they would have probably also scored one more rather than sitting back and asking for trouble. (Admittedly he did this against the very top teams...we tended to lose these games).
I wouldn't be surprised if Kagawa and Hernandez go in the summer, at home against a decent but not spectacular team you imagine they would rather fancy their chances of replacing Rooney and Nani when they came off... But no, Giggs and Smalling. Terrific.
More Assorted United Guff
Instant thoughts from the game:
- What does it say about the manager when you leave Kagawa and Zaha on the bench at home when you're narrowly winning against a team that is threatening to score and bring on:
A) An ageing legend who has simply nothing to offer in place of your creative outlet
B) A player who doesn't know whether he is a striker or the next Park.
I don't mind not winning as long as players Like Kagawa and Zaha are getting a chance. But keeping two of your brightest stars on the bench isn't really the best way to start your tenure.
- 78th minute. Welbeck ýis put through with a chance to put it away. Instead the bounding rabbit takes a touch and allows the defender to make the tackle. Hard to swallow when you've seen Van Nistelrooy latch on to a similar ball at Highbury and run through to score in THAT 2-2 draw. Why did I compare them? Because there's a video that shows a young Welbeck nutmeg Ruud during training. Safe to say no real talent was passed on.
- And finally - Moyes should be criticised for substitutions and the formations. Absolutely agree. But again - where is the drive and desire?! Where is the grit and determination of champions!? Fergie's face was thunder after the equaliser. I just wish he'd march down to the dressing room and give them a piece of his mind.
Untenable is not a word I would like to use as a supporter. I've been accused of being plastic but I'm determined to see my team through. However, these performances do keep imprinting this word on my mind.
Budhaditya (Come on Moyes - get out of the shell)
Hilariously sarcastic headline... Enjoy our pain while it lasts - it will not be long.
David, MUFC
Regardless of who I support in the Premier League I think it is ridiculous that the headline on your website is "Plucky Man United climb to Eighth...".
There is so much more that could be said:
- Three teams score 4 goals
- 10 man Newcastle United hold Liverpool to a draw
- Swansea thrash Sunderland on Gus's debut
- Southampton's great start confinues with a draw at Old Trafford
and, of course:
- Arsenal dominate Norwich to go two points clear
But you choose to laud MUFC as plucky when they were rudderless and based on last year's trophy should be higher that 8th. Are you their marketing department?
What rubbish!
Gavin O'Leary
The Fellaini Mistake
I know it's still early in his career, but signing Fellaini looks like a textbook transfer mistake: good player, wrong system. Moyes failed to adequately respond to Rooney's demand to play upfront. Of course, while its understandable Wayne wants to play in his favoured position, it pushed Moyes into a corner. But hey, you're the manager of Manchester United! If a player doesn't want to fit in your system, sell him. Or the alternative is to adapt. And Moyes didn't. Instead of signing a mobile, energetic midfielder which is essential if you're going to play two upfront, he signed his earmarked familiar Belgian. There's no running from midfield and therefore United rely on crosses or the forwards to make something out of nothing.
Negligence over the last 5 years needs to be put right in the next two transfer windows. I still have faith in Moyes and feel desperately sorry for him, because while he's made mistakes, he's had very little luck. United's players have also been fantastic off the pitch in taking responsibility off the manager, shame they've forgotten how to do their actual job.
It was always going to be tough at the start, but a team reflects their manager, and once Moyes settles back to his menacing ways United will too.
More Thoughts
Well...this isn't going well is it. Another less than inspiring performance at Old Trafford. However, unlike a few Utd fans I know, I still don't think its doomsday yet. There is still plenty of football left and judging Moyes right now is a bit too early. Not that Moyes is making it any easier for us to defend him. Fergie's last words and the patience we have gained during his tenure are protecting Moyes for now but he must realise that it is not going to last forever.
Onto the match then. There were actually a few positives i thought.
- The team selection was pretty good actually, giving Januzaj another start paid dividends..and that pass was sublime. I am not going too overboard with the kid right now...Macheda's memories are still not gone...but the boy looks really talented. Even Nani had a pretty decent game.
- The defence looked pretty comfortable and it was good to see Evans back. He will leading our defence in years to come and should be the first choice centre back.
- Good to see RvP back in the goals. And to see a play from open play. (Is it just me or it is sad that scoring a goal from open play is now a thing to get optimistic from).
Unfortunately there are still may problems.
- Central midfield still is a big issue. Fellaini hasn't really had any good games till now, either average or just bad. Perhaps he really understands his role in the team..whether to be a destroyer or box-to-box...but he certainly hasn't looked a 28million pound midfielder yet. His passing is abysmal.
- The big one then. The substitutions. Did Moyes really mess that up or what. Three negative substitutions, (well 2 really but Welbeck just looks a negative player), at OT, against Southampton. That isn't going to endear him to the fans. He must realise that for a club like ours, intent is almost as important as the result. Getting a CD on for our best player this season with 10 mins still to go just is not the United way. He is still learning all this but he really should speed up.
- Southampton are a pretty decent side and they dominated the game in large parts. Seeing their recent form it wasn't surprising to see them muster a fightback. What was worrying was Moyes reaction to the fightback. I have said this earlier too, Moyes changes when things aren't goin our way have been alarming...changes are usually too slow to come (see Man City) and largely ineffective.
- Do United need more signings or what.
At the beginning of the season I predicted a top 3 finish would be good enough for Moyes, satisfying the board as well as most of the fans. On our current form as well as others, top 3 is looking out of reach and even top 4 might be challenge given the good form and unpredictability of Pool, spurs and everton. Moyes and the team really need to up their game now before a sense of gloom and doom becomes prevalent at Old Trafford
Apoorv (MUFC)
Liverpool: Frustrating
Liverpool were incredibly disappointing today, much as they were after the last international break (against Southampton). Unfortunately none of our close competitors displayed the same lethargy and we've slipped down the league a little bit. I know it's not a lot but it's so much easier not chasing others in the league (unless you're a blood hound style manager like SAF I guess)...
The real frustration set in after the sending off. The players should've had the competency to dispatch Newcastle but failed for a couple of key reasons in my opinion. First of all, Moses was drifting far too central. The result of this was that we lacked width and didn't stretch Newcastle at all. Trying to run through a barrier of 2 banks of 4 is very difficult and whenever we played the ball wide and worked this space we looked far more dangerous. Moses didn't really deserve to last the full 90 minutes given how wasteful he was in possession. I remember three times in the middle of the pitch he had options to the left and right but got tackled instead. It was not good viewing. This performance was made more confusing because against Swansea he was so effective down the left and I couldn't understand why he was so committed to taking up a central position today.
The second reason for our tepid performance was our desire, following the sending off, to try and retain the ball for longer periods. As the wonderful chaps in your office have already pointed out - we've looked far more threatening when moving the ball quickly and directly towards the goal. The slow probing build up wasn't effective today against two deep lying banks of four.
Overall, this was a massively frustrating result, probably more so than the loss to Southampton. While we didn't deserve to take three points away today, and at no point were actually winning this game, top 4 teams tend to make a man advantage count. Our failure to do so could prove costly as the tougher games approach.
Minty, LFC
At the risk of tempting fate...
......are Arsenal back?
Simon (hope not) CFC
Ozil Slipping
Surely the 'King of the Assists' should have squared the ball across instead of scoring a second goal. Overrated, Arsene should ask for his money back!
Ian, Ely (watched the goals on YouTube and I'm now saying Ozilllllll and Arsenallllll)
Bale apparently dived for a penalty for Real this weekend, I imagine the Spanish equivalent of Football365 is filled with fuming letters about those pesky foreigners diving all over the place.

60 Los Angeles Times | Robert Abele Early on, it's tempting to dismiss the noir pastiche The Girl From the Naked Eye as a warmed-over pulp wannabe, what with the overwrought camera work and clichéd dialogue. But in its moments of sometimes comically violent antagonism, the movie shows some flashes of genre pizazz. Read full review
50 New York Post | So deadpan are the dialogue and narration that it's hard to tell whether the laughs are intentional. What with all the shrieking, dumb bad-girl hookers and the wistful, wounded good-girl hookers, the sexism is so creepy it might be an ironic genre critique. Then again, maybe it's just creepy.

Phinehas or Pinhas (Hebrew: פִּינְחָס, Standard Pinəḥas Tiberian Pînəħās) was the grandson of Aaron, and son of Eleazar the high priest (Exodus 6:25), who distinguished himself as a youth at Shittim by his zeal against the Heresy of Peor: the immorality with which the Moabites and Midianites had successfully tempted the people (Numbers 25:1-9) to worship Baal-peor. He is commemorated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church on September 2. His name is a Hebrew pronunciation of the Ancient Egyptian name "Panehes".
The account appears immediately after the story of Balaam, who had been hired by the Moabite chieftain, Balak, to curse the Jews. Balaam failed to do so, as God had literally put words in his mouth of blessing for Israel, instead (the first prayer said by Jews as part of their daily prayer service comes from this exact text). Having failed to curse them, Balaam left for his own country. The Book of Numbers asserts a direct connection between Balaam and the events at Peor, stating that the Moabites "caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor"(Numbers 31:16). The Christian book of Revelation mirrors this sentiment (cf. Rev 2:14). Revelation describes Jesus as speaking to one of the newly founded Messianic (Christian) churches, saying: "Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality."
