Conquering downtown, one lunch at a time
I've worked in downtown (by Union Station, specifically) for a little over a year now. I must say I'm absolutely in love with the plethora of lunch options here. I'm putting together a shortlist of my favorite spots around here and rate them from 1-3 (+,++,+++).
I'll also put stars* next to spots I WANT to try, because there are so many places I still want to hit up.
It's hard to not go broke down here with all the good lunch options!
Lil Tokyo:
Sushi Gen+++
Hama Sushi+++
Tenno Sushi+
Daikokuya Ramen+++
Sushi Go 55*
Spice Table*
Lazy Ox*
Chinatown/NE downtown:
Phillipe The Original+++
Empress Pavilion++
Olvera Street (too many places I haven't tried)*
Arts District:
Urth Caffe++
Little Bear*
Arashi Sushi++
Mexican Hot Dogs after Laker games++++++++++++
Sai Sai Noodle Bar+
Mendocino Farms*
Grand Central Market*
Berlin Currywurst++
Let me know where I need to go, or places I should avoid. I'm a huge sushi fan, but it'll be VERY hard to pull me away from Hama and Gen... I enjoy all types of food. The cheaper the better... I don't want recommendations like Drago Centro. Let me know what you think, fellow downtowners! Help a fellow CHer conquer all!
Aburiya Toranoko, next door to Lazy Ox, has amazing $10-$15 lunch deals. They have a daily special for $10, and there's always an amazing $15 sashimi special. All their lunches come with miso soup, garden salad and pickle salad. It's my favorite lunch place in the area!
Here's are photos of a $10 salmon bowl and $15 sushi special.
In Chinatown, I like JR Bistro on Hill. High quality Cantonese. I think they make the best sweet sour pork in LA. also their lemon chicken.
Won Kok for noodles, particularly their chow fun. Also they serve bao's to go. And they have parking.
Both places are very reasonable for the quality.
The Park's Finest on Temple is a Filipino take on American BBQ. Street parking.
You might want to add Baco Mercat to your list. Finally made it there and it was delicious. The beef tongue baco was outstanding as was the mixed eggplant salad.
re: beaubourne
lunch was reasonable - Bacos (sandwiches) about $10-12, salads from about $7 and had a delicious cocktail for $11 (el pilar, I think). Type of food - not sure - quite eclectic and lots of small plates. Bacos are some kind of South American sandwich. The Chef is Jose Centano who was the original chef at Lazy Ox. They also have flatbreads that looked really good at neigboring tables. Here is a link to check it out:
Try Shabu Shabu House in Little Tokyo if your lunch break is long enough. Sometimes the wait can be between 30 minutes to an hour.
re: beaubourne
pluses- thinly sliced ribeye beef and the temperature it is served at
- reasonably priced lunch (about $12 for medium and $14 for large)
-their home made Ponzu is addicting and one of the best I've tasted
-quick service once you are seated
minuses- the wait can start from a minimum of 30 minutes
- don't go too far after you've signed up, cuz Maruyama San is quite strict about having customers being around when he calls them
-it seems that once you are seated, its all about seriously eating and finishing
your meal in order to cut down on the wait time of people next in line
Really like Wood Spoon and their chicken pot pie or their pork burger.

Interestingly, I have been wanting to get together with a business acquaintenance whose business is in Chinatown, and short of eating in chinatown, we never know where to eat.
We want to open a decent/good bottle of wine, yet basically no place on your list is conducive to that whatsoever. Mostly fast or fastish food, or Japanese, which does not go with wine, nor do I care to eat. When will people understand that tastebuds for lunch are wider than these 2 foodgroups!!!-
re: carter
Chinese is tough to pair with wine; my dad used to do a Gewurtzraminer (sic). I'd try Yang Chow, but then again I'll always try Yang Chow. Call and ask about their corkage policy. Always good service there. Slippery shrimp is a classic, fantastic dish. I also really like their spicy wonton soup from the specialty menu, the green beans, and the eggplant.
re: ipsedixit
Trust me, I do NOT have a price restriction.
But after about 5-6 very good lunches at ABC Seafood, with a good bottle(or two) of Cabernet that actually went very well with the lamb or chicken or even calamari dishes, we are looking for an alternative.
I drive or subway from the SF Valley while the downtown contingent works in upper chinatown, and will probably drive EVERY time and to any location. thus parking is an issue for them, not me.
Parking in the historic core for lunch is really a pain, regardless of which place you have selected.
Don't need Urth Caffe or Traxx, btw!
re: carter
carter, i have the same problem! except i can't seem to find a place to bring my take-out McDonald's into! Like, what's wrong with these fancy restaurants?
I hope you understand the sarcasm. You're looking for more upscale places. I only break bank when going to sushi around here. Otherwise, I'll gladly spend 10 buckarooski's at Phillipe's and leave very full.
The best biggest lunch deal around is the grilled chicken combo at Dino's. Half a chicken, marinated in a wonderful reddish garlic/vinegar sauce and flame-grilled, served over a mountain of fries with cole slaw and tortillas. All of $5.50! At least that is how it is at the location on Pico at Berendo, two short blocks west of Vermont. But there is another location on Main just north of you and east of Chinatown. I've only had burgers there, and decades ago. Same name but I don't think it is the same ownership. Anyone able to tell how they compare?
You should really add Langer's Deli to your list for the best pastrami and rye on the planet. Just an easy 5 minute trip on the Red Line from Union Station. Langer's is just across the street from the Westlake/MacArthur Park subway station. Open till 4pm and closed Sunday.

Avery Daniel Alexander was born on August 1st at 10:04 p.m., and on his Daddy's birthday(also has his daddy's name in the middle) My labor was about 11 hours and I got my natural unmedicated vaginal after c section! It was awful and amazing, lol! I had two hours of pushing and a third degree tear so my recovery has been hard and extremely painful, just like my c section, but getting to hold him right away and knowing I pushed him out was worth it and I would not have chosen another c section over this even though it has been hard! Hopefuolly one of these days I will get internet back at home and be on more and so I can read through the threads and catch up! Hope all is well with everyone!

UPDATE 2-Bank holdings of U.S. municipal bonds hit record high
- Tweet
- Share this
* Households' share of market shrinks over 5 years
* Mutual funds continue to sweep up bonds
* Money market funds hold lower amounts
By Lisa Lambert
WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - The banking sector is becoming a greater force in the U.S. municipal bond market, with Federal Reserve data on Thursday showing that banks' holdings of municipal bonds reached a record $374.2 billion in the first quarter of 2013.
The sector now holds more than 10 percent of outstanding municipal bonds, nearly double its 5.9 percent market share in 2007, according to the Federal Reserve report.
In terms of institutional investors, banks hold the second largest amount of outstanding municipal bonds after mutual funds, in a market long dominated by individual investors. Households still hold the most outstanding bonds, but their market share has shrunk over the last five years, to 44.5 percent in the first quarter of 2013, from 49 percent in 2008.
Part of the reason for the banks' ascendancy is the increasing attractiveness of highly rated tax-exempt municipal bonds when compared to U.S. Treasury bonds, said Judy Wesalo Temel, principal and director of credit research at Samson Capital Advisors in New York. In the first quarter of the year, top-rated 10-year municipal bonds yielded on average 94.9 percent of similar Treasuries, which are taxed, Municipal Market Data shows.
"Banks will buy the high-quality municipals instead of Treasuries and they'll get the tax-exempt income," said Temel. "The other part could be that there are so many direct bank loans to issuers."
Issuers are selling bonds to the banks or directly borrowing more frequently, according to a recent white paper released by nine leading municipal bond organizations, often as a cheaper alternative to selling variable-rate bonds.
As a whole, the size of the municipal market grew slightly in the first quarter to $3.729 trillion from $3.714 trillion in the final quarter of 2012.
According to the Federal Reserve's report, households shed $16.8 billion of municipal bonds in the first quarter, considerably less than the $261.2 billion they dropped in the fourth quarter. Initially, the central bank reported in March that households shed $238.1 billion municipal bonds in the final quarter of 2012, which was a record amount.
The central bank adjusts the amounts of flows of funds for seasonal variations.
The smaller drop in the first quarter shows "an increased confidence in municipalities' finances," said MMD Analyst Domenic Vonella. He noted spreads between lower-rated debt and higher-rated debt tightened over the quarter, indicating investors became more comfortable with the credits.
Taxes also went up at the beginning of 2013, which would encourage households to hold onto tax-exempt bonds, he added.
The mutual fund sector continued to sweep up municipal bonds in the first quarter and the two may be related, said Temel, with individuals deciding to buy into funds instead of holding bonds directly. Mutual funds acquired $68.2 billion bonds in the first quarter, slightly more than the $67.4 billion they took on in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Money market funds, however, shed $83.5 billion in the quarter after acquiring $19.5 billion. Five years ago, money markets were the largest institutional holder of municipal bonds, owning $509.5 billion of the $3.517 trillion outstanding in 2008. In the first quarter, they held $312.6 billion.
As interest rates on the bonds fall, they have become less appealing to the funds. On Thursday, yields for top-rated 10-year bonds were 2.11 percent on MMD's benchmark scale for the secondary market, and highly rated 30-years yielded 3.28 percent. On the same day in 2008, top-shelf 10-years yielded 3.66 percent and 30-years 4.50 percent, according to MMD, a Thomson Reuters company.

Getting lost in the -elle/el's
I posted this in the girl forum and only got one response, I hope this gets more replies here.
Would Emmanuelle get lost in amongst the Isabelle's/Arabella's/Annabelle's/Danielle's? They are high in popularity and their variations are rising in popularity as they are "on-trend" (not trendy however).
Will it blend in?
Or does it have a different feel to it?• teenberry • Australia •

My daughters name is Annabelle and despite attending many play groups, music classes and birthday parties we have only met 1 other Annabelle (who was 7 years older than our Annabelle), 2 Isabella's, 1 Elle and 1 Arabelle.
I think Emmanuelle has a different feel about it to the other names you listed although it shared the elle ending.The 3 Princesses in my life...

I think that Emmanuelle would fall into that coveted "fitting in, standing out" sweet spot most parents seek. It would fit in with the elle pattern, but it is different without being on trend or a new rising star. It may be a little much for some, which is good as it won't become overwhelmingly popular. I also think it is a good choice because it is familiar, yet uncommon (another area that a lot of parents desire).

I love Emmanuelle!
I think it will definitely stand out against the super popular "ella" names.
June 24th, 2013 06:24 PM #9
Emmanuelle is different enough, I think, to stand out. But what an interesting observation! Just like the vogue ending for girl's names of MY generation was the -y ending (Tiffany, Brittney, Chelsea, Ashley, Kelsey, Kylie), it seems like the ending for this generation is either the -a (which probably can't properly be a trend because it's really just classic) and the -elle/-ella. It may feel a bit trendy soon. I don't know. Emmanuelle will never feel trendy though. It's different enough.

NFL Network is currently counting down "The Top 100: Players of 2012," and reports are a Broncos player will be revealed on today — Wednesday, May 16 — at 6 p.m. MST.
It's a defensive player, is ranked between No. 70 and No. 61 and was not included on the list last year.
A glance at The Top 100: Players of 2011 shows that two Broncos were included, only one of which plays defense — cornerback Champ Bailey.
Could that mean it's 2012 Pro Bowl defensive end Elvis Dumervil? What about Defensive Rookie of the Year Von Miller? If so, what do you think of the ranking?
If not, any other ideas for who it could be?
The player named on Wednesday will be the second Bronco included on the list so far, joining running back Willis McGahee at No. 98.

Lightly toasty, with a lively bead and flavors of poached pear, dried apricot, brioche and honey. Displays chalkiness without being too angular, and culminates in a lasting, apple-tinged finish. Drink now through 2015. (11/ 2012)
Yellow-gold. Pungent aromas of pear skin, yellow plum and spices. Lively orchard fruit and citrus flavors show a slight hard edge but possess good depth. Dry and somewhat stern on the tangy finish. (12/ 2010)
Light, floating style, classic Pommery. It foams easily and crisply around the mouth, brightened by lime acidity, while keeping a feeling of softness. A great apéritif style. (7/ 2011)

Glass Break DetectorGlass Break Detector Solutions from Texas Instruments |
Glass Break DetectorGlass Break Detector Solutions from Texas Instruments |
Block DiagramClick on the colored blocks to view or sample recommended solutions Design ConsiderationsGlass Break Detector can be designed with 3 types of implementations in mind: Standalone, wireless connectivity and Fixed/Wired Connectivity. The first two implementations are battery operated. The functional block diagram of the glass break detector is divided into 3 sub-blocks: the sensing block, the processor and the communication interface blocks. When implementing a basic standalone type of glass break detector, the processor and the communication interface are not needed. The sensing block is comprised of an acoustic device (Microphone) to sense the specific high frequency tinkle of shattered glass, and two operational amplifiers to amplify the detected frequency and enable the ADC in the MSP430 to sample the signal. With the need of extended battery life for standalone and wireless connectivity implementations, MSP430 microcontrollers with their low current consumption are ideal fit for these applications. It is important to balance cost vs. settling-time performance, while minimizing current consumption when selecting an external operational amplifier for the application. Settling time is important in allowing the detector to provide multiple reports of a glass break event in a short period of time, so as to minimize any false alarms. To further reduce current consumption of external components, some may be powered directly from an MSP430 port pin. This will take the current consumption of the amplifier to zero, when the MSP430 is in a standby state, significantly increasing the battery run time of this application. Communications InterfacesRF Transceiver: Range, network configuration and power consumption are important factors when selecting a Low Power Wireless (LPW) solution. Range is affected by output power, sensitivity and selectivity, which in turn impact the jamming of other signal sources and the ability to distinguish the desired signal from local interferers. Selectivity is also important in RF design, especially when designing products in the 2.4GHz band, where interference from other equipment is likely. When making the RF radio selection, it is also important to understand the network configuration is which the glass break detector will be use: Point to Point, Star or Mesh Network, as it may impacted the radio, processor, memory and power requirements of the system. Line Powered: Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) integrates data and power over standard LAN connection. It provides uninterrupted 15W max (13W load), 48V nominal supply to the devices connected to the system. The power requirement for glass break detectors is well below the ~ 12.5W limit for powered devices and can be easily powered from PoE. This sort of implementation removes the need to run AC power to sensor locations, and reduces the cost of the power supply in the detector by requiring only DC/DC power conversion.

The Purple Paw Project provides housing, and if needed, medical care for pets belonging to victims of domestic violence in Northern Utah. The project also serves as a model for other rescue groups to offer the same services in their locale.
71% of pet-owning women entering women's shelters reported that their batterer had injured, maimed, killed or threatened family pets for revenge or to psychologically control victims. Between 25% and 40% of battered women are unable to escape abusive situations because they worry about what will happen to their pets should they leave. Very few domestic violence shelters are equipped to care for animals or will allow animals to accompany women and children seeking refuge.
The Purple Paw Project will house and care for pets belonging to victims of domestic violence while they are seeking refuge at local domestic violence shelters. When feasible and safe, victims and their children can visit their pets. Once the family is in a safe living situation, their pet is returned to them. The reassurance that their beloved pet is safe and cared for during these difficult circumstances provides peace of mind to both the victim and her children.
Victims of violence, both human and animal, will have the opportunity to heal physically and mentally as they are cared for in a safe, stable environment. Domestic violence victims will not have to endure additional abuse because they do not have a safe place to house their pets if they flee their abuser.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Flirting with perfection, the 2011 Ermitage Le Pavillon is the most remarkable of these four cuvees.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "It is worth noting that when the bottled 2006 Chateau Margaux, which appeared closed and less impressive than I had predicted from barrel, was retasted alongside the remarkable 2008, I elevated my score to 94+.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A profound Leoville Las Cases, it is one of the great modern day wines of Bordeaux. This wine's hallmark remains a sur-maturite (over-ripeness) of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.

I am somewhat hesitant about this posting as I know that obesity/weight control is a continuing theme, and I surely know how very difficult it is to lose or even maintain weight after breast cancer. The last thing I want to do is make anyone worry more. But, on balance, trying to stay a healthy weight is something that is (sort of) under our control, and most of us want to know about anything we can do do maximize our chances of staying well. These are comments from BreastCancer.org about a recent study that suggested that the recurrence risk for obese woman is higher than for their thinner sisters.
In my experience, women have often had success with Weight Watches. There is a program, Going Forward, at BIDMC which is a weekly exercise/nutrition group for people post cancer. If you are interested in that, contact Be Well at BIDMC.
Here is the beginning and then a link:
Obese and Overweight Women May Have Higher Risk of Recurrence
Much research has shown that being overweight or obese increases the risk of breast and other cancers. Now, a large study suggests that overweight and obese women diagnosed with early- stage, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer have a higher risk of the cancer coming back (recurrence) and are less likely to survive the disease.
The study was published online on Aug. 27, 2012 by the journal Cancer. Read the abstract of "Obesity at diagnosis is associated with inferior outcomes in hormone-receptor-positive operable breast cancer."
Doctors use body mass index (BMI) to determine if a person is underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese. BMI takes both height and weight into account:
BMI lower than 18.5 is considered underweight BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy weight BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese The researchers looked at the outcomes of 4,770 women who had participated in one of three studies on chemotherapy or hormonal therapy treatment regimens after surgery that were sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. All the women had been diagnosed with early-stage disease and had surgery to remove the breast cancer.
All the women received treatment after surgery, including chemotherapy and/or hormonal therapy if the cancer was hormone-receptor-positive.
Women who had heart, kidney, liver, or bone marrow problems weren't included in the study. This allowed the researchers to be fairly sure that any effects on recurrence and survival were because of obesity and not other health problems.
Compared to healthy weight women:
women who were obese when diagnosed had a 30% higher risk of recurrence and a 50% higher risk of dying from breast cancer no matter the characteristics of the cancer obese and overweight women diagnosed with hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer had worse disease-free survival (the length of time a woman lives without the cancer growing) and worse overall survival (the length of time a woman lives with or without the cancer growing)

5 "..AWESOME.."sdx800 | 15/06/2010 | See all sdx800's reviews (1725)Number 1 Reviewer Number 1 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 10 Gadgets Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer This is without a doubt a MUST see film, certainly one of the best and original comic book films in past years! The story is great very funny and full of action and very bloody violence!! The cast is so perfect in every way, nic cage is hilarious as Big Daddy, he plays the character like Adam west played batman and its a great parody! The best character has to be HitGirl played by Chloe Moretz, she is extremely funny and cool and very violent for a child! Make sure you check out this highly entertaining movie worth every penny. Gem of 2010!!
5 Very Very GoodRambo456 | 04/12/2010 | See all Rambo456's reviews (1259)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Number 1 Gadgets Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer Was telling people that I was gonna watch this movie as it looked like a FUN movie, and it was just that.Really enjoyed the movie on all levels. Even though it did get a bit darker in the 2nd half.Love the way the violence was very violent, not comic booky style, and the language was very colourful.The story started a touch slow, like all Super Hero movies, but was needed to build up an understanding of the characters.Once the Story kicked in, it was pretty much non stop Action and Dilemmas all the way.You really could not predict what would happen.The Characters and Acting was First Rate. Top Marks going to Chloe Moretz as the Awesome Hit Girl, Nicolas Cage as the Goofy Big Daddy and Mark Strong as the Villain of the piece, he is playing the Bad Guy in a lot of Movies nowadays, but always brings something new to the table each time and is Very Watchable. The Other Cast members, Playing Kick Ass and Red Mist were fine, but were not really the Stars of the show.I also like the way the movie summed up the way some teenagers are invisible and JUST EXIST.Big Respect to Director Matthew Vaughan, he could have just joined the Hollywood Directors Conveyer Belt of making any old Nonsense, but has stuck his neck out, early in his career and hopefully this will be his calling card.
5 IT KICKS ASS!!!teak71 | 30/09/2010 | See all teak71's reviews (34)Aaron Johnson stars as Dave Lizewski, a fan of comic-book heroes who wishes there were more people like them in real life. In a moment of madness, Dave reinvents himself as green and yellow wet-suit clad crime fighter Kick-Ass. If only it were as easy as it looks in the movies... Dave soon finds himself messed up in the dark world of corrupt magnate Frank D'Amico. Luckily his amateurish operation catches the attention of fellow good-guy vigilantes Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz). The latter is an eleven year old assasin with a bright purple wig, who thinks nothing of using the C-word and shoots, stabs and annihilates any baddies that get in her way. Based on Mark Millar's story of the same name, the film is expertly shot by director Matthew Vaughn to somehow retain the look of its comic-book origins. Extras include a twenty minute documentary on Kick-Ass's journey from printed page to big screen and director commentary from Vaughn. 5/5. d:-)
5 Coynieukcoynie | 03/07/2011 | See all coynie's reviews (59)Fantast Fun, But not for the Kids as Just about ever one gets Shot. Its a very well exucuted film a true Gem.Evey thing works perffictly
5 KICK ASS INDEED!THEMOORE | 16/04/2011 | See all THEMOORE's reviews (184)For once this was one of those overhyped movies that when watched actually lived up to the hype. Loosely based around the graphic comic book of the same name Kick Ass follows Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) in his efforts to become a well respected superhero pounding the streets of his town after wondering why superheroes arent there in real life. Only he discovers there are some heroes out there and in some ways they are worse than the villains.While the film is essentially a comic book adaption it is quite dark and mature so it probably isnt really that suitable for younger viewers. That being said it is very faithful to the comic book with only a few minor changes to the story and the characters and it is very well put together. It also manages to retain the great characterisation and dark humour of the book which the cast carry off well. In terms of the cast, while it is mainly led by the teenage stars they do a pretty impressive job, especially rising star Chloe Moretz who once again proves what a strong actress she is going to make. The older cast is also pretty decent with Nicolas Cage putting in what is probably one of his better performances.Overall this is a comic book adaption with a difference. It feels fresh, original and at the same time it lives up to the comic book and the hype surrounding it. Kick Ass certainly isnt a kids film nor is it just for die hard comic book fans as I myself Im not really into comic books or the film adaptions of them, that being said this film was a very entertaining watch, very well put together and despite the mild gore at times it is very funny indeed. Highly recommended.

I grew up terrified of dogs. I'm not sure why I was afraid, but the presence of a dog around me was enough to make me hide in a corner. But as I grew up, I started to like dogs and would consistently ask for one for Christmas from my parents. However, my parents were not animal lovers and it never happened.
Once I moved out of my parents' home after college, my wife and I decided to casually look for a dog. This meant visiting the Animal Humane Society a couple times a week to see if we discovered the dog for us. Then one day we laid our eyes on Lucy. She was a little yellow Lab/Australian red heeler cattle dog mix that was just seven months old and had kennel cough. She laid in her kennel and let me pet her through the fence. I took her outside and discovered that she lived to play fetch.
I was apprehensive at first and walked away that first night without adopting her. The next day I saw a posting online for a dog I wanted to see and returned to Animal Humane Society. I walked past Lucy to the other dog and played with it, but it wasn't the same. I took Lucy out again and knew that this time I would bring her home.
The rest is history. She now goes by the name Remi, is 2 1/2 years old and is the spark in my life. She's easily the smartest dog I have ever met, and everyone I know falls in love with her and her fun-loving personality. Even my parents love watching her and playing fetch!
Just last month, I took her duck hunting with me and witnessed an incredible sight. This untrained, abandoned dog did what I never thought she'd do — she retrieved a duck, an incredible accomplishment from an equally incredible dog. I could not imagine life without seeing her smiling face and wagging tail every single morning.
Thank you Animal Humane Society for finding me a best friend.

"Sheraton Four Point- A convenient Hotel for all"Diulas oleh Fatimah Y dari "Malaysia" pada 7 Jul 2010
Sheraton four point Sheikh Zayed Road is a comfortable and convenient hotel to stay as it is located near to most must-see-places in Dubai, such as the world's tallest tower and the biggest shopping mall. Other places such as souk gold, and other bazaars are relatively close, i.e. only a few minutes by taxi. Hotel rooms were spacious and have all the facilities expected in a 4 star hotel. However, the rooms didnt have WIFI, although internet connection was available at a cost. Hotel staff were friendly, and we felt at home in the hotel. We will stay at this hotel again next time we are in Dubai.

Rod Serling was born December 25, 1924, in Syracuse, New York. In 1955, he won his first Emmy, for writing the TV business drama Patterns. In 1959, he turned to the sci-fi fantasy genre, with The Twilight Zone. In 1968, he co-wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Serling died in Rochester, New York, on June 28, 1975. Over the course of his career, he wrote 252 scripts and won six Emmys.
"Good writing, like wine, has to age well, and my stuff has been momentarily adequate."
"When I was younger, I could be called an angry young man—now I'm called petulant."
"I was bitter about everything and at loose ends when I got out of the service. I think I turned to writing to get it off my chest."
"I went down fighting, as most television writers do, thinking, in a strange, oblique, philosophical way that [I had] better say something than nothing."
"I have never written beneath myself. I have never written anything that I didn't want my name attached to. I have probed deeper in some scripts and I've been more successful in some than others. But all of them that have been on, you know, I'll take my lick. They're mine and that's the way I wanted them."

Television writer and producer Rod Serling was born Rodman Edward Serling on December 25, 1924, to a Jewish family in Syracuse, New York. When Serling was 2 years old, he and his family moved to the quiet college town of Binghamton, where his dad Sam opened a grocery store.
After graduating from Binghamton High School, Serling enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War II, with the aim of fighting the Nazis in Europe. Contrary to his intention, he ended up becoming a paratrooper in the Pacific theater. During the war, Serling was injured in his knee and wrist at the Battle of Leyte in the Philippines. He was sent home with a Purple Heart and emotional battle scars that would haunt him for the rest of his days.
To compound matters, Serling's return from the war was followed by the devastating loss of his father, who died suddenly of a heart attack. His traumatic experiences would later serve as inspiration for his writing. After the war, Serling attended Antioch College in Ohio.
Television Writer and Producer
In 1948 Serling moved to New York City and entered the work world as a struggling freelance radio writer. In 1955, he branched out into television script writing with the TV business drama Patterns. Patterns earned Serling his first Emmy Award.
Serling's second Emmy win came a year later, with the 1956 production of Requiem for a Heavyweight, starring Jack Palance. During the late 1950s, Serling fought the CBS network when they insisted on editing his controversial scripts. CBS got its way and heavily revised his script about lynching, entitled A Town Has Turned to Dust, and another about corruption in a labor union, called The Rank and File. Instead of continuing to fight inevitable censorship, in 1959 Serling turned from realism to the sci-fi fantasy genre, with the iconic series The Twilight Zone. Not only did Serling write the series, but he was also the face of it, serving as its on-screen narrator. The Twilight Zone ran until 1964 and garnered Serling his third Emmy.
In 1968, Serling co-wrote the screenplay for the original movie version of Planet of the Apes. After a stint of screenwriting, he returned to television writing in 1970.
Serling spent his later career hosting Rod Serling's Night Gallery and teaching screenwriting at Ithaca College. Over the course of his career, Serling wrote an estimated 252 scripts and won a total of six Emmys.
Personal Life
While Serling worked 12 hours a day seven days a week, his wife, Carol, whom he had met at Antioch College, tended to their daughters, Jodi and Anne.

Sony Alpha NEX-5R Digital Camera Review
$749.99While this inexpensive mirrorless is marketed as entry-level, performance and image quality are anything but.
Representing some of the finest mirrorless system cameras on the market, Sony's NEX series is defined by thin bodies, oversized mounts, and a... "growing" lens selection. Earlier this year, the company decided to complicate their lineup with a few new options, including the NEX-6 and, today's review, the NEX-5R, which replaces the 5N as the "value" model.
While the 5R isn't equipped with some of the features found on more expensive NEX cameras, like a viewfinder or dual command dials, the most important feature has been carried over. No, we're not talking about the 5R's new installable apps, but rather image quality.
The Sony Alpha NEX-5R is available in black, silver, or white, and sold body-only for $650, or bundled with the 18-55mm kit lens for $750.

Time will tell... but so far I am extremely disappointed by what I see from Cessna with the SkyCatcher. It's not "just" the China angle (that didn't leave a good impression from the start) but rather the kludged fixes mandated from not one but two spin-related crashes in testing, and compromises Cessna made in the name of not having the too-heavy airframe blow past the absolute minimum useful load requirement under the ASTM standards.
More brickbats -- the unfinished interior (and what's there is extremely unattractive to the eye, avionics notably excepted) and, most troubling, the manual flap lever that interferes with the pilot's ability to move the throttle at full deployment. Oh well, at least it's not like sudden throttle movements are necessary on a steep, short final, right?
That's not to say I'll never fly a SkyCatcher, or even that I wouldn't consider buying one after a fashion... but I will step back and let Rose Pelton and other pilots fly the first dozen airframes, testing the overall usefulness and safety of this (Chinese-made) aircraft in its intended role in flight training.

I really hope Eclipse Aerospace finds a way to rework the static port placement, and especially the gawdawful white "patches" around them required for FIKI. They look shoddy -- and hey, let's call even more attention to them by painting the rest of the plane silver! -- and do nothing to enhance any perception of quality on what already has a (not entirely undeserved) reputation as a patchwork aircraft.

I'm going to have to break down and get X-Plane. FSX was just a glossier (and more system-intensive) version of FS9, and Flight is a complete joke that seems to be targeting the lowest common denominator among the groundhog crowd.
I applaud Microsoft for trying to lure new pilots, but the best way to do that is to provide a realistic simulation and Flight just doesn't cut it.

I have stayed here many times over the past 10 or 12 years. The park is well run and except for holiday weekends, is easy to get around in. On holiday weekends, the place is a zoo and can get quite noisy. I have camped in my motorhome and in a tent. I recommend this campground except on holiday weekends; e.g., Memorial Day. The last camped date is wrong because the web site didn't work properly.

I have stayed here many times over the last 10 years or so and am about to go again. I have stayed in my motorhome, in a tent and in a tent trailer. This is an outstanding little park as far as I'm concerned. The people are super and helpful and do a great job of maintaining the park. It is a family run operation. They and the park are terrific. They are motorcycle friendly and just about everything else friendly. I highly recommend this park. The date last camped here is wrong because the web site didn't work properly.

QE Tapering as a Wake-up Call for Emerging Markets
Summer was marked by a strong pressure of capital outflows and exchange rate devaluations in several systemically relevant emerging markets. A global portfolio rebalancing was put in motion on May 22, when talk of the U.S. Federal Reserve shrinking -- and eventually reversing -- its asset purchase program (QE or quantitative easing) was made public.
The global portfolio adjustment -- away from countries/markets deemed as vulnerable to QE unwinding and toward those whose prospect improvement has justified a possible future policy change -- follows a previous dramatic financial movement that was in the opposite direction. Gloomy prospects for advanced economies (ACs) in the Post-Lehman era, the eurozone crisis, the several channels of transmission of QEs, and the post-2008 aftershock resilience of emerging markets (EMs), together led to a massive capital de-location -- and use of leverage capacity -- from ACs to EMs. By all accounts, the increase in assets and exposure to EMs from 2009-2012 was tremendous, despite the presence of capital controls and other measures adopted by recipient countries.
Therefore it is not surprising that the expectations channel of transmission of monetary policy -- after the announcement of a future "tapering" of Fed's asset purchases, to be followed by an eventual shrinkage of Fed's balance sheet -- was enough to spark a meaningful wave of portfolio rebalancing. News on growth slowdown in major EMs also mattered. However, the May 22 announcement from the Fed, signaling some confidence in the U.S. recovery, and an immediate uptick on 10-year Treasury bond rates, triggered a massive unwinding of long positions on EMs. This was particularly sharp in emerging markets with current-account deficits, prone to undergo exchange-rate devaluations. Given the magnitude of previous flows, it is no wonder there seemed to be mayhem with the current global portfolio realignment.
The effects of the announcement of a "tapering" -- reduction at the margin -- of monthly asset purchases by the Fed immediately started to be felt, even though its start date was yet to be established. Will U.S. long-term Treasury yields skyrocket when the Fed begins to shrink its balance sheet toward more "normal" levels and make the current turmoil look like a walk in the park?
Not necessarily so, for two reasons: first, one may say that the Fed's balance sheet expansion has not been much greater than the world's demand for money. The evolution of 10-year Treasury yields along the quadrupling of the US monetary base does not point out to the Fed systematically pushing for abnormally low 10-year yields. There is ground to believe that the Fed mostly accommodated the private (bank) demand for "excess reserves." Therefore, one might expect that, provided that the US economic recovery settles in and the private demand for long-term bonds normalizes, the Fed will not have to dump unwanted assets on the market and, thus, offer huge discounts and high interest rates. There is no reason for the Fed to risk derailing the economic recovery by not following such a path.
This leads us to the second reason for not expecting skyrocketing interest rate. There is no sign of an uptick on U.S. inflation rates or expectations and, therefore, no need for substantial interest rate hikes in the foreseeable future. Interest-rate policies could conceivably be separated from the unwinding of the balance-sheet expansion, but the fact is that the U.S. economy is likely to remain on a low-inflation environment for some time.
Emerging markets are not currently as vulnerable as they were in previous moments of global interest rate hikes. Current exchange rate devaluations reflect the adjustment flexibility embedded in their currency regimes, as opposed to pegged rates which in the past made EM currencies sitting-ducks for speculative attacks. Furthermore, reserve cushions are much larger, both corporate and public-sector debts in most EMs are not as fragile as they were on the brink of the 1990s crises, and the proportion of equity-like investment and domestic currency-denominated debt is higher. Though policy responses will be challenging, apart from some vulnerable spots, there is more policy space to react to the challenges created by the global portfolio realignment.
While unconventional monetary policies have been appropriately anti-cyclical in ACs implementing them, they have had inappropriately pro-cyclical consequences on EMs -- boosting credit and demand when most economies among the latter were already heated up, and threatening to accentuate a slowdown where it started to happen. It is also true that, regardless of the role played by the liquidity wall flooding EMs, these countries have in general been too complacent regarding structural reforms necessary for the exploitation of new growth opportunities. All in all, unwinding QE policies may ultimately be good news for EMs, especially if the withdrawal of global liquidity is followed by a sharpened focus on their country-specific reform agendas.

Emerging Markets
Mr. Quinlan is generally bullish on emerging markets; he is quoted as saying "most of the damage is done."
I don't know if he is correct and I am not sure that his being correct or not is very important. I have trouble believing the long-term theme is damaged; think generally here about the asset class not narrow country themes just now.
The end of ZIRP, really the threat of ZIRP ending, contributed to the selloff that started in May. For now, emerging markets certainly seem to be in the middle of a breather. I do not know if there will be a lot of selling later this summer or not but I do feel strongly that the next 10%, regardless of direction, will have very little to do with fundamentals. Because of the panicky nature of the spring selloff I think an argument to buy based on the fundies today, even if the argument is correct, should not be a catalyst to take action right now...unless the next 10% don't matter to you which is perfectly valid.
Too many folks, though, have trouble when a long term idea starts out ugly so waiting might make sense.
As an example of this I would look at Turkey. I have no position, no immediate plans to add exposure and have no idea when I would add exposure. Turkey has a couple of very big macro things going for it that I do believe in. The oil pipeline will be a printing press of money for the country and its seemingly endless process of trying to join the EMU (be a country that uses the euro for its currency) will also pay off one day. Combine those two with its large, 70 million, and young population and I think Turkey is very compelling. A little closer to the front burner are deficit issues, the recent reactionary and emergency rate hikes to combat inflation and the falling lira make this a rough time to be a buyer.
I have no doubt that the Turkish market will be much higher in ten years but I can't rule out that it will cut in half in the next 12 months (probably a little extreme but you get the idea).
I am about equal weight emerging markets after selling in April and May with no plans for further reductions. I also have no hesitation buying for a new client to create the portfolio but I can live with an ugly start to a long-term theme. If you cannot, you might want to wait.

Roger,two quetions.You are "equal weight" emerging mkts. Does this mean the same percentage exposure as domestic exposure?
When I read your comments about Turkey, I realize how poorly informed I am about the fundamentals of the different emerging country mkts. I have spent the last decade trying to buy the nasdaq and capture its upward moves. That game may be dead. Do you have a source that I might use as a primer about the differnt mkts? It might help give some additional meaning to the price charts for these mkts. - 8:12 AM

My idea of equal weight is 7%. I am about there in most accounts. A long time ago I stumbled accross something that came up with that number as equalwight vs the world's market cap. That may be different now.
Jyske Bank is a good resource for information about rate hikes, data points and so on. Just click on the Emerging Market link. I can't vouch for their conclusions but just getting info I will vouch for.
Another thing I would suggest is an Emerging Market news search from Yahoo or Google, I get all sorts of good info that way. - 8:25 AM

I have a philosophical problem with emerging markets equities being viewed as a separate asset class. It seems to me that they are mostly a surrogate for the commodities (ex-energy) asset class.
Accordingly, in constructing a portfolio, Occam's Razor should apply -
"entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem,"
which translates to:
"entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity."
I propose the "William of Occam Portfolio" with the following asset classes:
Gold -
Oil - (Nat Gas, Oil Service etc.)
Commodities - (ex energy)
Bonds - (Cash, Notes, MLP's Conv Securities, Other Currencies, Interest paying REITS, etc.
Equities - (diversified to limit company/sector specific risk using mkt. indexes, sector indexes & common stocks.) - It excludes any equity used in other classes, i.e.
Exxon Mobil, Gold Miner shares, Phelps Dodge,etc.
The maximum allowed would be 60% in any class, the minimum allowed in any class would be 10%.
Og - 11:31 AM

Great comment and fair point. SE Asia sort of refutes the commodity-only idea.
But I tend to view all holdings as having multiple roles. EM typically offers exposure to different types of economies and most of these markets are at different points in the economic and stock market cycles which is a big draw for me. - 11:36 AM

2014 Blade Trigger
The 5th generation Trigger went through a bold reconstruction of the profile shape, which positions the kite to sit further in the edge of the window, causing more vertical pop, significant increase in hangtime and much better upwind performance. Still maintaining its reputation of ridiculously quick turning speed and powerful delivery gives the proper Blade-edge to riders who don't fear going all out on the water. Don't expect a park and ride kite. The Trigger would be insulted if used in such ways. The high performance characteristics let you position this kite exactly where and when you want it.

Note: Click HERE for a super high-res shot that killed my soul a little to see so big. Remember Avatar Tattoo Guy? I know -- how could anybody forget that back? Well he's returned with tattoo #5 which, SPOILER ALERT: is another crappy Neytiri just like the other four. Good ... / Continue →

Silver for J.R. Celski and Bronze for Katherine Reutter 1000m; Bronze for Lana Gehring in 1500m
NAGOYA, Japan (December 3, 2011) – Team USA skated to three podium performances at today's Korean Air ISU Short Track World Cup 3 in Nagoya, Japan.
J.R. Celski (Federal Way, WA) was in a close race in today's 1000m (1) final, finishing second, posting 1:29.828, behind current World Cup 1000m leader Yoon-Gy Kwak (KOR) with a time of 1:29.743. Korea's Yi Ra Seo was third (1:29.899) and Canada's Olivier Jean finished fourth (1:30.090). This is Celski's second medal of the 2011-12 World Cup season.
"I felt really good in that race. I knew I had some tough competition with the two Korean skaters and the Canadian. I knew it was going to be a game of tactics, so I stayed towards the front and Yoon-Gy got in front of me and just outskated me and outraced me. I'm really happy with how I did and I'm looking forward to skating tomorrow," said Celski .
Katherine Reutter (Champaign, IL) added another medal to her 2011-12 season total, now at 3, with a bronze in today's 1000m(1) ladies final. Reutter posted a time of 1:32.945, behind today's distance winner and World Cup leader Yui Sakai (JPN) 1:32.713, and Elise Christie (GBR) at 1:32.786.
"Racing today was a true testament to the ability of Team USA to fight for every single medal that we earned out there," said Reutter. "Racing conditions and ice conditions were pretty difficult today, but USA persevered and everybody came though with a spectacular performance. I think now that we are even more hungry to be on the top of the podium tomorrow, we'll be more prepared, more focused and more excited to bring home some Team USA gold."
Lana Gehring (Glenview, IL) won bronze in close race today's 1500m posting 2:24.721, Arianna Fontana (ITA) won the distance with a time of 2:24.329, Ha-Ri Cho (KOR) was second at 2:24.423. Emily Scott (Springfield, MO) placed 6th in today's 1500m (2:25.061), and Jessica Smith (Melvindale, MI) finished 9th (2:33.026). Today's podium marks Gehring's second World Cup medal for the season.
Travis Jayner (Midland, MI) finished 6th in today's 1500m (2:15.892). Jinkyu Noh (KOR) won the distance today with a time of 2:14.941.
The men's relay squad (Kyle Carr (Peachtree City, GA), Celski, John-Henry Krueger (Pittsburgh, PA), Jayner), skated strong and fought hard in today's 5000m relay semifinal round with China, Canada and Great Britain. In the final laps, Team USA has moved up to second place, but fell back to third. At the finish Celski skated hard to regain the second spot and was blocked by Charles Hamelin (CAN) as they approached the line. Both skaters fell, and Canada was disqualified. Team USA advances to tomorrow's Relay final with Korea, Russia, China and Japan.
