This doesn't mean I'm trying everything new that comes from the garden center. I love traditional native plants, and I will continue to use them. But I'm moving toward a more natural look, letting plants "do their thing" instead of pruning and planning so much.
My redbuds are quite prolific, and they've planted themselves in several spots that weren't in my original plan. One by the deck is now providing some nice shade. Another behind the wall adds height where the clump grasses grow.
I tried to get witch hazel to grow in a bed by the driveway. I kept replacing the ones that died. Well, go figure. I figured out that I probably shouldn't put that plant in that spot. Same for putting pachysandra beds under the oaks in the side yard -- pachysandra didn't like it there; grass does.
We tried to fight the wild side of the yard, planting stuff there that was quickly invaded by what I used to call weeds. Now, it's a lovely mix of wildflowers.
Planters? I'm putting shrubs, grasses and perennials in them instead of my old standard annuals. Much more exciting.
The speaker talked about "the shock of the possible," seeing with new eyes, asking the right questions. He mentioned working hard on a project, only to find that it's a dead end. He challenged the audience to find unexpected connections -- in the garden and in life.
I'm determined to view my garden with new eyes. No more doing something because it's always been done that way for me!
Many people have responded to a recent column detailing ways to combat fleas in the yard, including Judy, who found this note at www.landsteward.com.
"In August of 2001, my husband and I decided to build a new house. The land we chose to build on had not been cleared for about 45 or 50 years. Needless to say, ticks were thick. We'd go out and work for three or four hours and then come in and pick, usually about a dozen, ticks off of our bodies.
"The solution: We bought bantam chickens. Within a week, the ticks had cut down to one or two a day. Within two or three weeks -- no ticks. Bantams are easy to care for. We let them eat ticks and bugs during the day, then feed them in the evening. They stay close to home, basically in the yard."
I'm sure my neighbors will love this one.

McDonald's Serving Up a Turnaround?
This correction in the world's most famous fast food chain's stock should only be temporary.
Wait until next year. I think that's the message in the disappointing November 8 report of same-store sales numbers from McDonald's (NYSE:MCD).
Sales at stores open for at least 13 months fell 1.8% in October. That was the first monthly decline in same-store sales in nine years for McDonald's. Even taking into account a calendar shift that put one less Saturday in October this year than in 2012, the drop sent a significant signal:
- Competitors have upped their game;
- A soft economy in the United States, China, and Europe has resulted in cutthroat competition on price; and
- McDonald's recent success in taking market share has resulted in very tough month-to-month growth comparisons
These three factors suggest that investors will have to wait until April or May of 2013 to see a sustained upward move in McDonald's shares.
Economic growth will—probably—pick up in China and the United States in the first half of 2013. McDonald's is putting in place new menu items and sales initiatives that will, over time, blunt the current momentum of Burger King (NYSE:BKW), Taco Bell (owned by Yum Brands (NYSE:YUM)), and Wendy's (NASDAQ:WEN). And the toughest same-store sales growth comparisons will be behind the company by April 2013.
I think the stock is likely to be a market performer until then, with its fortunes tied to the trends in the larger market. But the stock does pay a 3.6% dividend, and after the decline to $84.76 at the November 13 close from $94.09 on October 16, I think most of the bad news about same-store sales growth is now priced into the shares.
Your decision to hold on until April—collecting that 3.6% dividend—or to sell now with the idea of re-buying in the early spring depends on how good a trader you think you are, how aggressive your strategy is, and what alternative ideas you might have for putting cash to work right now.
Make no mistake about it, though; these are tough times in the quick-service restaurant sector—even for a company with McDonald's-level resources. Everybody has introduced and is heavily promoting a value menu. Everybody is rolling out new products—Son of Baconator at Wendy's, Doritos Locos Tacos at Taco Bell, and Cinnabon Minibon Rolls at Burger King. Some new products unabashedly follow McDonald's lead—smoothies at Burger King, for example.
Fast food is now played like a giant game of leapfrog. One company jumps over the other by finding a particularly successful way to tweak its value menu or introducing a particularly successful sandwich and temporarily that draws sales across the playing field.
What has separated McDonald's from the competition in recent years, though, isn't the temporary ebb and flow of sales from menu and product innovation, but the ability to produce a steady stream of those innovations that competitors haven't been able to match.
Couple that with McDonald's huge edge in financial muscle that lets the company refresh restaurants more rapidly than competitors, and to install new cooking and order-taking systems that speed up food preparation and lower customer wait times, and you're got a formula for long-term success. In general, you should only sell McDonald's shares if:
- You think the normal ebb and flow in the company's sector is headed into a temporary flow away from McDonald's, so that you'll be able to take profits now and buy back in at a lower price later; or
- You see evidence that the McDonald's system is showing a decline in innovation and a loss of focus on pressing home its competitive advantages.
I don't see evidence of that second problem now. And the stock's 10% drop from October 16 has narrowed your window for selling and then rebuying.
The stock has solid support from $80 to $85. Below that the next support shows up at around $72, about 14% lower than today's price. I don't look to see McDonald's back at that level from the first half of 2011 unless the overall US economy and stock market takes a dive. (And if I did I would certainly be a buyer.)
Even then, the stock's 3.6% dividend should make the shares a relatively stable performer unless the overall market sells off heavily.
I calculate a target price of $104 per share by October 2013.

Hey guys,
I am a med-low intermediate level surfer, and am looking for a good all-round travelboard and a replacement for my 6'4 fish for this winter. I am nowhere near the level where I would be concerned about the higher echleons of performance (channels, lightness, low volume etc) so I am perfectly happy on a thickly glassed epoxy tank, as the following is.6'8"
2 1/2"
I e-mailed the sellers asking about rocker, and it has a typically flattish shortboard rocker for British conditions. They also said: "It is short board rocker with slightly less nose lift."
My question is if I will be able to surf reefs with this? Will it be able to handle steep or even hollow waves? My main concern is pearling, as it is quite long with low rocker.
Thankyou in advance, and please don't bash me for wanting a pop-out

Chicago Cops Face Random Alcohol Tests
Lieutenants and captains in the Chicago Police Department will be randomly tested for alcohol on the job and also will face alcohol and other drug tests whenever they fire their weapons, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Feb. 9.
A new contract also bans officers from drinking within four hours of going on duty.
Officers found to have a blood-alcohol content of .02 to .04 percent will be taken off of duty for the day, retested the next day, and randomly tested for six months. A second positive test would trigger an investigation from the Internal Affairs Division (IAD).
IAD will be notified whenever an officer has a BAC of more than .04 percent on duty; officers who have this level of impairment will be offered the opportunity to get addiction treatment.
The new rules were triggered by a series of high-profile incidents involving off-duty police and alcohol, including a pair of fatal drunk-driving crashes.

The month of Dhul Hijjah is once again fast approaching and those fortunate enough to be performing the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca) will have long been making preparations for this blessed time This ground-work will have included the external often frustrating tasks of obtaining visas and making travel arrangements, and the more important - and certainly more difficult - internal spiritual preparations.
But those of us who are unable to perform the Hajj this year can still partake in this blessed month. For Prophet Muhammad (may God's peace and blessings be with him) encouraged us to work harder in the pursuit of good during this time, saying of the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah, in particular:
"There are no days in which righteous deeds
are more beloved to God than these ten days."
This is the period, which precedes the festival of Eid al Adha (The Feast of the Sacrifice) commemorating the monumental sacrifice in which Abraham (may God's peace and blessings be with him), Patriarch of the Semitic faiths, willingly obeyed his Lord's command to sacrifice his beloved son. And as all will know, neither Abraham nor his son were found wanting, and the human sacrificial offering was replaced with a ram.
Each year, in commemoration of this pinnacle of human submission to the will of God, Muslims sacrifice an animal, the meat of which is distributed amongst the poor, friends and family. Of course, the ritual is merely symbolic of an inner ascent that we are all asked to make. The Holy Qur'an reminds us:
`It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches God:
it is your piety that reaches Him'
(Holy Qur'an 22:37)
And as we offer our sacrifices this year, let us also reflect on what greater sacrifices we can make of our God-given resources - our money, energy and time, to name but a few - to assist those around us who may be in need.
Fasting is a sacred rite that assists spiritual growth and is observed in most of the world's religions. In addition to the fast of Ramadan, Muslims are also encouraged to fast during the first nine days of the month, and in particular on the ninth of the month which coincides with the Day of 'Arafah which marks the culmination of the Hajj. Fasting on this day, the Prophet taught, is an expiation of sins for two years - those of the preceding year and of the year ahead.
Gratitude to God is due from any who have been able to grow (in any measure), during this period, for as the Holy Qur'an advises:
`Â…And that you should magnify God for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him'.
(Holy Qur'an 2:185)
This is traditionally observed in the form of chanting the Takbeer (Magnifying God), this being encouraged from sunset on the ninth of Dhul Hijjah until mid-afternoon on the thirteenth of the month.
God's blessings are concentrated in certain places and periods of time. Whilst those making the Hajj have the opportunity to benefit from both, those of us remaining behind should certainly resolve to make the most of the moment for it is only through inner spiritual growth that contentment and true happiness is to be found.
(Holy Qur'an 108:2)
May God's peace and blessings be with us all!
Dr Sangeeta Dhami

- While steep drops in copper, iron ore and coking coal prices have spooked investors, KGHM chief Derek White says there's no need for mining executives to panic - at least not yet.
- There's no real threat to copper mining operations at a long-term copper price ~$3/lb., White says, but that could change if the price drops below $2.50 for a prolonged period.
- Iron ore prices have performed better than expected in recent years, and this week's drop brings them closer to many forecasts; analysts believe most iron ore projects are fine at a long-term price above $100/metric ton.
- Coking coal's current $110/metric ton is still not low enough to disrupt most operations, with some exceptions; TD Securities expects Teck Resources (TCK) to defer its Quintette project in British Columbia until the market recovers.

- The 8.3% dive in the price of iron ore to $104.70 per ton is the 2nd largest one-day decline on record, and came following weekend data showing an 18.1% Y/Y slump in Chinese exports in February (a gain of 7.5% was expected). While miners like BHP and RIO remain optimistic about supply/demand dynamics (though dour on price prospects), Goldman - picking one analyst team - sees the market moving into surplus in H2 and prices falling below $100 per ton.
- The Shanghai Composite fell 2.9% overnight and Brazil's Bovespa is down 2% in the early-going. Australia (EWA) declined 0.9% and the aussie (FXA) is off 0.6% to $0.9017.
- The steelmaking ingredient is off 22% YTD and at its lowest price since October 2012.
- In the meantime, the rumors are flying, including speculation a mill in China's Shanxi province defaulted on Friday and shut five to six furnaces. There's also chatter about banks looking to call in 20% of loans to private steel companies.

- The basic materials sector has badly lagged the broader market YTD, and Miller Tabak's Jonathan Krinsky surmises investor rotation into the group is likely if the overall market rally is set to continue.
- Krinsky's charts tell him the sector has been making higher lows since the 2009 bottom, but unlike the broad market and many other sectors, it has yet to clear its 2007-08 highs, giving the look of an ascending triangle - and the presumption of an upside resolution.

- Oppenheimer analysts are believers in the materials sector, citing increasing evidence that the global economy is modestly improving from its recent lethargic pace of growth, particularly in emerging markets.
- Strategas isn't so sure; despite some stronger equity performance in recent weeks, it sees the persistence of cyclical weakness in emerging economies and the apparent forming of a structural consolidation in global commodities complex; it favors companies with a higher domestic revenue profile over those with a broader global footprint.
- Vulcan Materials (VMC) gets just 1% of its revenue overseas, while Airgas (ARG) has just 2%; those least exposed to the U.S. economy include Newmont Mining (NEM), which gets all of its revenue abroad, and International Flavors (IFF) and Owens-Illinois (OI), which each get 23%-24% of sales at home.

Monday, Jun 172013, 3:20 PMJ.P. Morgan turns a bit more positive on mining stocks (XME), moving to Neutral from Underweight on the sector as miners cut capex and the sector's relative price/book ratio is back to 2009 lows. While the firm remains skeptical that free cash flow yield could turn positive again in 2014, it says the market could give the sector the benefit of the doubt for a while.

Monday, Apr 292013, 8:41 AMCredit Suisse remains bearish on the commodity sector, noting years of high prices triggered a capex surge, with new supplies coming on just at the time they're not needed. Mining stocks (XME) may look cheap, says the team, but it's a sector that once it gets oversold tends to remain so. Big-cap oil (XLE)? It tends to outperform only during periods when stocks are falling, credit spreads are rising, or the oil price is spiking - none of which is likely. |Monday, Apr 292013, 8:41 AM| Comment!
Monday, Apr 222013, 11:29 AMSA author Emerging Money is worried for the mining sector following Caterpillar's (CAT) Q1 earning report, in which the company said it expects sales of its traditional mining machines to fall 50% in 2013. "What might be scary to think about" is that "commodity prices are actually still quite high," Emerging Money says. "This tells me it could get much uglier as well."

Tuesday, Jun 122012, 5:07 AMSome mining companies (including BHP and RIO) that have relied mostly on surface mining are now going deeper, allowing them to continue using mining, processing and transport infrastructure even after the surface deposits are depleted.

The Last Angry Fan:
At least he won't have to worry about being jumped from behind.
James Harden has already made a huge impression with the Houston Rockets, so much so that someone went and had him immortalized by shaving his likeness in the back of their hair. The owner of the questionably awesome (or is it awesomely questionable) hairstyle is a member of the Red Rowdies, a group of diehard Rockets fans, and just like the Oklahoma City fans before them, have embraced Harden, his play on the court, and most of all, his amazing beard.
Obviously the hairstylist had to take certain liberties in order to work Harden's face onto the back of someone's head, but did they have to make it look so eerily similar to the titular subject in Edvard Munch's The Scream?

Saw this over on MGoBlog:
"He's supposedly going back to offense," Blackwell [ed: Norfleet's 7-on-7 coach] said. "They will use him in the slot and in the return game, and some as a running back. Coach [Greg] Mattison is saying he can still use him on defense and is making an argument to keep him there, but Dennis' passion is for the offense. That's where he wants to play, and from talking to Dennis it appears that's where he's going to play.
I'm happy with this. He's beyond explosive with the ball in his hands. I want to see what he can do to defenders in the open field, as we've only really seen him go up against special team's units.

I'm not surprised, he'll take over Vincent Smith's little role in the offense (although I can only hope that he works on his pass-blocking to get to a level close to Smith). The whole shift to defense was just because we were dangerously low on available CBs for the bowl game.
CMXI said...
I keep waiting for Justice Hayes to do something, but he's just had so many chances and hasn't really shown anything. He's also not very good in pass protection. If anything, I would've expected Hayes to slide out to a slot WR position, but the fact that Norfleet's already ahead of him there says all you need to know. I've been rooting for Hayes for years, but I think he and Rawls have just surpassed the point of potential breakouts and are now looking at being leapfrogged by younger, more talented RBs.

I really do not put much blame on any of our RB's for doing so poorly last year. Our line missed tons of blocks, we had a QB that could not throw, and the RB's went up against D's that always stacked the box and played the run. Under the 2012 conditions I have a hard time writing any of the RB's off.
As for Norfleet what a late pick up we got with him. I do not think he was ever really mentioned on any recruiting sites. Most everyone had a "Who is he?" attitude when he signed his LOI and now the coaches are fighting over him. I hope we can find more like that.
inuyesta said...
...yeah, because every time he came on the field it was for a jet sweep that the defense saw coming from a mile away ("Oh look, #5's in the game, wonder what play they're gonna run dotdotdot") and that we utterly failed at blocking. He's used one year of eligibility, maybe we wait another one before we bury him?
CMXI said...
He had one good game in garbage time against Illinois. He was ok on a few carries against UMass, but other than that, he's been non-existent. Any touches he saw against better teams didn't result in anything. His stats for the entire second half of the season? 5 carries, -2 yards. His pass blocking also leaves much to be desired.
CMXI said...
I'm not completely burying him, but like I said, if the coaches are prioritizing Norfleet over him, I just don't see how he'll really have a good chance to contribute. Even at the end of last year, all we were hearing from the coaches was how impressive Drake Johnson was, nothing about Hayes. He doesn't fit the mold of the bellcow back that we want going forward, and his 3DRB/slot WR status has already been usurped by Norfleet, so it's just hard to see how he could contribute.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for him to explode and become another offensive weapon for us, but I'm not holding my breath.

Richard Yarde returned to his home state of Massachusetts in 1968 after serving as a machine gunner in Vietnam. Between the combat he had seen and the shame of serving in an unpopular war, he said, it took him nearly 30 years to walk into a Veterans Affairs office and seek the help he had earned.
"When I first came home, you didn't even admit you were a veteran," said Yarde, 71. "A lot of us came back damaged, and people became recluses. They melted into the woods – they didn't want to be a part of society."
Today, Yarde is the house manager at the Veterans Mansion, a rooming house at the Veterans Northeast Outreach Center in Haverhill, and he volunteers part time at the Massachusetts Department of Veterans' Services office in Amesbury.
He is one of the many faces of the state's evolving approach to veterans' services, which have undergone major innovations in recent years under Secretary Coleman Nee. The agency has developed several groundbreaking programs and partnerships to become a model for other states around the country.
Chief among them are recent initiatives that address veterans' mental health and housing concerns, two of the biggest issues facing the soldiers returning from the past decade's conflicts. The programs afford the outreach team a level of proactive intervention previously unseen in the multilayered bureaucracy of veterans' affairs. The outreach team itself is staffed by veterans with firsthand knowledge of their clients' concerns.
Lina Pineda, an Iraq War veteran, has been a peer specialist for the housing program for about a year. She is uniquely qualified to help veterans who need housing assistance: she and her young daughter were homeless themselves for a time.
Now she meets with homeless veterans wherever she finds them, on the streets of Boston and across the state.
"We're bringing the VA to the veterans," she said recently at the state agency offices downtown. "I make sure all my guys and gals are housed and/or getting the assistance they need."
At the National Center on Homelessness Among Veterans at the VA Medical Center in Bedford, one of three such agencies in the country established in 2009, those programs have garnered attention from other states, said the director, Dr. David Smelson.
"I think the resources and support for veterans in Massachusetts and the commitment by the state government is unprecedented," said Smelson, who also serves as vice chairman for clinical research in the Psychiatry Department at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. "They go to practically whatever length possible to help a fellow soldier. I've been in awe and inspired by Coleman and his team."
The effort seems to be paying off. Smelson said the state reduced its homeless population among veterans by 21 percent last year.
One of Pineda's colleagues, Kevin Lambert, is the department's director of Special Population Programs and Services, which means he covers a broad range of issues, including homelessness, jail intervention, and education opportunities. Lambert, a 30-year-old Iraq veteran who broke his back in the war, now walks with a cane and uses a service dog, the first graduate of another of the state's innovations – a canine training program for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder.
With his black Lab, Ronnie, at his feet, Lambert sat in the cafeteria at the Haverhill outreach center and discussed his passion for the job. If there is some overlap among the services the state provides, he said, the department does not think of that as waste, he said: "That just means there's no crack for the vet to fall through."
Under Nee, the department's peer specialists have been trained to do whatever it takes to help a veteran in need. Sometimes that can mean trying an unorthodox approach.
On one suicide-prevention call, Lambert was quick to act when a despondent, disoriented veteran who had a loaded gun took an interest in Ronnie, the service dog. The soldier eventually agreed to submit to treatment as long as Ronnie went with him, Lambert said.
"If you give the vet a little bit of control and choice, you can absolutely save their life," he said.
Like his colleagues, Lambert makes no apology for sometimes winging it while helping his fellow veterans. The rapidly changing nature of modern warfare and the so-called "invisible wounds" it can cause mean the US Department of Veterans Affairs and its state-level affiliates have to rethink how to do the job, he said: "We need to meet the needs of the veteran, not make the veteran meet the needs of the system."Continued...

A word from Le Taj
Deeply entrenched in downtown Montreal for more than 2 decades. Carefully staffed by people trained to treat every guest as a celebrity and invitingly decorated with complex figures embedded in simple, modern lines.
Le Taj has a very visible tandoor (clay oven) around which you can see the chef
prepare delights such as lamb chops, kebabs, garlic shrimps, chicken tikka and, of course, naan bread.

Diner Reviews
I went there with my girlfriend on
Valentine's day. They imposed us an valentine's day menu (which was not indicated on their website nor on the phone when I confirmed my reservation). It was expansive and the food seemed like industrial food (shrimps not so fresh, a lot of fried things, etc.). For the service, they forgot to serve us our starters. After a while we had to ask for our food... This restaurant wants to show the public a nice image of a luxurious restaurant, but it still has to improve its food and its service before."
Dined on 2/14/2014
The food was very good across the
board. The buttered chicken was delicious. Only downside is rice is not included in the price of the entree."
Dined on 1/31/2014
We are adept of this restaurant.
We come from Québec City to go to eat at this restaurant many time a year."
Dined on 6/7/2013
....but had the impression the
whole evening that our table has to be used 3 times per evening; we had to slow down our server. food is quite good though"
Dined on 1/18/2014
I am an admitted regular diner at
LeTaj, because there's never a slip in the excellent quality of food or service. This week we particularly enjoyed a couple of our favorites - Saag lamb and Shrimp Xiacuitti. Outstanding!"
Dined on 1/8/2014
C'est probablement un des
meilleurs restaurants Indiens à Mtl. Ce n'est pas pour rien qu'il est là depuis tant d'années. Y'a trop de choix on voudrait tout essayer."
Dined on 1/4/2014
Nice atmosphere with decour from
the Expo 67 on the walls. A buffet at lunch, this restaurant turns into a place for fine dining Indian cuisine. The lamb and lentils was very good. We went for a New Year's Eve special menu, which was very good and an enjoyable evening. One of the nicest places for Indian food in Montreal."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Ce n'est pas, selon moi, le
meilleur resto indien à montréal, mais c'est tout de même très bon. L'endroit est très beau et les serveurs sont gentils. Par contre, nous avons reçu certains plats qui étaient presque froid, ça c'est moyen. Sinon, vaut mieux réserver."

Standard fare served in a pleasant
atmosphere. Was expecting more and got ordinary."
Dined on 11/15/2013
I eat at Le Taj most trips to
Montreal on business. Once again we had a great experience - excellent food, unbeatable service and welcoming hospitality from the entire staff."
Dined on 11/11/2013
We enjoyed a few menu items off
the beaten path, like Chat Bahar and Naan with Mint. I also enjoyed a sauvignon blanc from India, from which they gave me a complementary half-pour additional. And they sat us right by the window which was fun."
Dined on 11/9/2013
As a British expat. This place is
a gem if you're in search of an amazing curry in montreal."
Dined on 11/8/2013
Excellent service, but quite a bit
long. The food was outstanding for the price."
Dined on 11/3/2013
The staffer are nice and flexible,
never be pushy. The foods are delicious and the place is convenient. I will definitely go to this restaurant again!"
Dined on 11/2/2013
Food was great, as usual. My
favorite when visiting Montreal. Vindaloo spice is just right. Comfortable atmosphere."
Dined on 10/28/2013
We are been there since the
opening.Top taste ,flavor and service under Mr. Kappor the owner. also a very good wine list. We come always for special meals for dinner .Shirmps ,lamb and butter chicken are the best fo us with garlic naan bread.we come back any time.Love you all. Louis Gina Y Katia"
Dined on 4/23/2013
Delicious but very overpriced! A
small bowl of shrimp curry with four small shrimp was $20...they charged extra for the rice & naan bread! I couldn't believe that."
Dined on 10/20/2013
We thought that the food was very
good. The service was also excellent. They sat us down as soon as we arrived. The restaurant was packed...not an empty table. Everything moved along at a great pace...no slowness even though the restuarant was busy. All in, a great experience."
Dined on 9/25/2013
We've eaten at Le Taj a few times,
and we have loved it each and every time. They have the best butter chicken we've ever had. It's definitely worth a visit!"
Dined on 9/18/2013
C'était la première fois que
j'allais à ce restaurant, mais sûrement pas la dernière tellement l'expérience fut excellente. Quelle belle soirée nous avons eu entre copines et la bouffe était succulente. Je vais le suggérer à tous mes amis. Merci!"
Dined on 8/30/2013
We very much enjoyed our visit to
Le Taj this past Saturday evening - - our third visit. Everything was very good, with one exception. It was rather frustrating that our first two choices for wine were out-of-stock, and that we were only told that after ordering and waiting for both. This was a very minor inconvenience only, and our third choice was quite good. We definitely will visit Le Taj again when in Montreal."
Dined on 8/25/2013
Everything was fine. No reason not
to go here if you want Indian food in this area. It nearly always full for a reason."
Dined on 8/14/2013
I used to go to this restaurant it
was really good before Dont know what happened i even asked if they change the cook Went a week ago and i found really not good food I was thinking maby a bad day it happens Then i took another reservation i m really disappointed Food really not good even the naan is differente I will never ever go again i cam eat the same food on any restaurant For 10 box I really dont recommand this restaurant"
Dined on 8/11/2013
From the beautiful ambience, to
the impeccable service, to the food, to the wine list, this has to be one of the finest restaurants in town. The decor is enchanting - from the pendant lights that reflect in the windows and give an optical illusion that they are hanging from the trees to the well-appointed white table cloths to the tin embellished menus - this place is tops! Now the service couldn't be better. We ordered a meal that they affectionately call "The Feast". And that is what it is! We highly recommend it. And take home what is left over for the next night's meal. The management and servers are quite gracious. New York Indian restaurants need to come here to take a lesson in what an Indian restaurant should really be offering!"
Dined on 8/10/2013
Not child friendly, very expensive
for the quantity and quality of food served."
Dined on 8/4/2013
le taj is ultra consistent with
excellent service and great indian food. I nice, quite extensive menu"
Dined on 7/30/2013
I can see how some people would
find it slightly expensive, and if you do, I suggest you go here for a special occasion. It is absolutely worth it. For those who just want some great Indian food for no particular reason, come here! Naan bread was delicious as was everything else. Service was wonderful as well."
Dined on 7/24/2013
We came here for the first time
last year to celebrate our engagement and had a wonderful experience. We were eager to come back again during our visit to Montreal this year. Unfortunately, the service was very poor and the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. The waiter took 15 minutes to greet us and take our order for a bottle of wine. 10 minutes later, he was back and tried to give us the wrong bottle of wine. The food was as delicious as we remembered, but we will hesitate to visit a third time after this last experience."
Dined on 7/3/2013
We visit Montreal on a regular
basis ( we live in NYC). La Taj is a must on our list of things to do. I've brought my extended family there this time, and everybody had a great time. I love the way the space looks after a renovation, the staff is very pleasant, and attentive without being overwhelming, and the food is so so good. Thanks La Taj for making our dinners so special!"
Dined on 6/11/2013
Worst indian food ever and on top
of that the price was way overboard for such a let down experience! A restaurant which apparently is supposedly called haute cuisine is a big deception n farce! Worst butter chicken!"
Dined on 6/5/2013
I dine at Le Taj every time I am
in Montreal. I have eaten Indian food in many places, but Le Taj is in a class of its own. The food is almost always superb; four stars this trip because of the onion pakora - mushy and flavorless - must have had a trainee making them. The soup, bread, and lamb saag were excellent. The chicken korma was a religious experience. Go! Eat! You will love it!"
Dined on 6/2/2013
This is a great Indian restaurant
for many reasons. The food is excellent. We have taken many friends here who say they do not like Indian food but are surprised how much they enjoy it. The food is quite tasty and spices it according to your wishes. Very good service and friendly atmosphere. They renovated it a few years ago and it is a nice restaurant. If you are open to Indian food you will be happy."
Dined on 6/2/2013
Nann bread & chicken jalfrezi very
good. Onion bahji average at best - very pre-prepared & a bit cloying. Service very friendly & efficient."
Dined on 6/1/2013
Fantastic again, it's the third
time me and my girlfriend went to this restaurant and it is really fantastic!"
Dined on 5/29/2013
Went there on a Tuesday night. The
pace was packed, which made it overcrowded and noisy. The food was bland, not at all the rich blend of spices that Indian food usually is. The Mango Lassie is good though. Regarding service, the waiters are attentive but there were were simply not enough waiters for the amount of people in the restaurant. Overall I feel that I payed way too much for this dinner and that I could have gone to a cheap place and have the same dining experience."
Dined on 5/28/2013
After reading reviews we were
really looking forward to this meal. While the decor and ambience were really good, I was really disappointed with the food - perhaps it was the Chef's night off. Lentil soup was watery, bhaji's were rubbery and somosas were tasteless. The main meal chicken, however, was succulent and very tasty, even if the shade was somewhat over-managed with onions and other veg."
Dined on 5/27/2013
Absolutely delicious Indian food
in a lovely room with high ceilings overlooking Peel Street. The staff is friendly and extremely acccomodating. Always a positive and enjoyable experience."

By Evan Lockridge
The American Transportation Research Institute, a non-profit trucking research organization, has launched its third annual commercial driver survey to identify impacts on trucking operations, as well as driver perceptions and attitudes toward the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Compliance Safety and Accountability program.
This survey, which specifically seeks commercial driver input, will be compared and contrasted with data collected in 2011 and 2012, when ATRI received responses from a representative sample of nearly 6,000 drivers.
It says the brief on-line survey asks drivers for information on how their perceptions of CSA have changed or been affected as CSA continues its third full year of measuring commercial driver and motor carrier safety performance. The survey also seeks to capture attitudes toward the program and general understanding of its key components.
The confidential and anonymous survey can be taken at www.atri-online.org. Results will be available later this year.
FMCSA says it rolled out CSA nationally a little more than two years improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicles. It is based largely on results from roadside truck inspections.

Dear editor,
I am very sad at the passing of Peter Lougheed.
I first knew him in my role as a junior assistant in B.C.'s small team of people who researched and negotiated a position on patriation of the Constitution.
From my ringside seat, I became acquainted with the traits for which Peter was legendary: his intellect, his ability to balance interests, his negotiating ability, and his incredible capacity to remember people's names.
I then got closer to Peter when he played a pivotal role in forming the Asian law firm partnership, Bennett Jones Verchere Weston, for which I was the Asia-based leader. From Peter I learned key parts about running a meeting — notably, that no meeting should end without a recounting of the allocation of who was to do what, and by when.
For all Peter's greatness, the trait that stands out most for me was his undying, quiet humanness. He was never arrogant, impatient, or unkind.
Peter made it a point to remember my wife's name and always to inquire about her career status. He knew what was important to his friends, and took that seriously. In that, more than anything, he was a model for other Canadians to follow.
That's why, I suppose, I dare to include myself among the enormous circle of people who take delight to consider ourselves "Friends of Peter."
I offer sincere condolences to Peter's family members and friends. We have lost a great one.
John Weston, M.P.

Wild Geese November 25, 2009
Posted by Teresa in poetry, Ponder This.Tags: geese, individual worth, Spirit

Just wanted to share this poem with you:
Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
from Dream Work by Mary Oliver published by Atlantic Monthly Press

How to Launder Money - Swiss Style
- advertisements -
Items 1 - 12 of 62 – cheap north face is the right place for you to choose superior quality boots for hiking and camping outdoors, all they are with ...
This is what the money changers have been doing forever in Asia (and probably elsewhere) to circumvent capital controls. Want to take money out of Cina? Go to the nearest money changer, who will send the money to his cousin in Hong Kong, who will give it back to you there at 90%. Neat. That's why Asian cities are *packed* with money changers...
And by the way, did you know that still today, you can open a bank account with several EU banks *without* passport? Switzerland has been in crosshairs for the past 20 years because it dared staying out of the EU and other political reasons, but it's very clear to any observer with a bit of expertise that if you want to launder a couple of billions, you steer clear of it and just go to London or NY. Or, for smaller scale operations, just set up a few accounts in several small towns in the EU and nobody will ever get you.
please let me know the banks, or where, i can open a bank account without a Passport (Govt tag) ...i very much welcome the civil way to conduct business (ie. treat customers like adults) rather than the current suspicuous tosser way of doing biz (ie. treat customers like liars or potential terrorists)
I will reward said good decent banks with my custom
The Swiss are screwed, and all for a War on Drugs that is a complete failure, except for building up thuggish government forces.
So it wasn't really a failure at all then. Except for the truth.
My British bank was exchanging Sterling for Swiss Francs 10% off spot. Past 2 days in Geneva I exchanged my Sterling at 2% off spot
My pillows, duve and mattress are now rammed with Swiss Francs, my thanks once again to the Swiss National Bank for fulfilling the King Cnute role and allowing me to sleep peacefully (with a big Cheshire Cat grin)
anyone need some feathers and duck down bed filling?
Not quite sure to understand your point. Those people have been unmasked and are in jail, awaiting trial and most likely heavy sentencing. On the other hand when Wachovia helped laundered tens of billions of Mexican drug money all what happened in was very limited fine...
I'm not saying that Swiss banking unreproachable but bad actors are taken down.
Jump, Fuckers, jump!!!! ANd I REALLY mean it!!! When the U.S. extend and pretend finally blows up, they, too, can Jump!!!! Oh, and btw, they need to GET THE FUCK OFF OF MY PLANET!!!!
...and it was BC Big Bud you say?
Lol, replace Swiss by...Luxemburg, Monaco, Liechenstein, Jersey/Guernsey/Isle of Man/City; Caymans, Bermuda, etc.etc.etc.
Bruce is discovering the oldest vice in the world barring sexual slavery.
When you know who runs the drugs in Morocco and in Afghan, you know who to look for.
Le poisson pourri par la tête, Bruce!
By the way, old story, has been published in the papers days ago, big yawn.
Just goes to show you, NOTHING lasts forever! Everything comes to an end..I mean EVERY scam, lie..government, criminal..
The writer needs some private lessons, although he seems to live in Switzerland, but he definitely is not up to date. But nevertheless, nice writing. Big laundring will always take place in only one place, the US. They protect you. The Swiss are handing over the names, the Yankees won't.
Government must have their cut!
To not allow them to 'dip their beaks' is stealing
And the government hates thieve's! They can't stand competition!
This is also just one operation uncovered.
Logic would dictate that there are many many others.
The fine art market probably has quite a bit of movement these days as well.
Lots of great art stored up in Switzerland and it is a wonderful way to preserve, and move, wealth.
Transfer money laterally to the Swiss seller, take a cab to the airport, fly to Asia for the weekend and resell to a newly minted Chinese billionaire eager to protect his own stash.
I don't see how the "Blood Money" graffiti is appropriate. How is marijuana smoking connected with blood loss?
Second, does anyone really believe that ending Swiss banking secrecy will end marijuana smuggling? Smugglers will always find ways to launder their money. And a growing (pun intended) number of people feel that marijuana should be legalized.
It does appear that Swiss banking secrecy is coming to an end because governments want to raid the contents of the black accounts. But the Europeans are very resourceful and I have no doubt that a minor industry will spring up to help people get their money out of their accounts. The French and Italians are expert tax cheats.
the front page of The Times newspaper of Britain on Monday was dominated by a field of 'experts' (ex Police, MI5, brain surgeons etc) reporting to its Govt that the "Drug War is Lost" and that drugs are actually good for you (like smoking in fact)
this follows a U.N. report some years ago, consisting of ex-U.N. Chief Kofi Anan and other wags such as Virgins Richard Branson, also reporting the abject, total and miserable failure of all Govts across the globe to win the war on drugs
we don't need Govt experts to tell us Govt meddling in any facet of the economy or society, not just drugs, is also a total and complete f'ing failure
Let's Bin Govt ...it's a shithole, no better/other place for it
Let's not forget that when the GFC hit, the banks of the world accepted a whole lot of drug money to prop up the system. This at least was the finding of a UN report.
UniCredito was bailed out by Gaddafi to the tune of billions in the GFC. But the bankers didn't want to pay it back, so NATO jets took to the skies, Susan Rice said "oh oh humanitarian bombing". Gaddafi was about to receive a UN Humanitarian award, dinner with Tony Blair, then all of a sudden he was the worst guy in the world.
Meanwhile, three hedge fund managers at Goldman Sachs were fired today for not coming up with this idea first.
cannabis cures cancer and over 100 other diseases:
also replaces wood, oil, cotton, plastics, etc. with a far more durable
and affordable product. ford was going to market a car with hemp
plastic body panels and hemp fueled engine:
the dinosaur is a nice touch, lol.
a body panel that you can bounce an axe off of would not be good for body shops:
also a big threat to booze and tobacco (smokers who smoke weed too get less cancer).
now you know why it's still illegal.
"cannabis cures cancer and over 100 other diseases"
In the 19th Century it was alcohol that was the Cure all.
It was replaced in the early 20th Century with Radium:
Why do people believe consumption of intoxicants are healthly?
Why do you not?
So the Cheech and Chong weedmobile was real, LOL
Before Big Pharma joined the cabal, reefer madness started out as a conspiracy between DuPont (who didn't want competition from hemp clothing), Hearst (who didn't want to admit he'd made a bad investment by buying up tracts of forest for his papers), and Aslinger (a racist SF cop who wanted yet another excuse to lock up minorities).
Never mind that you can't get high by smoking hemp. This fact didn't register with a gullible public and corruptible congress.
In addition to being a magically cancer-free balm for the lungs, pot is great for your short-term, uh, um, er, your short-term, uh, unforgetting thing. Dude.
And just how do you know the picture of the man attacking the car with a hammer is testing hemp panels' marvellous robustness, rather than (say) just vandalising it?
While the evidence for aptosis stimulation in malignant tumors is quite encouraging, it is not suitable to say that it cures cancer.
What you can say for certain is that it is quite powerful at countering some side effects of chemotherapy. Notably nausea, apetite, and some parts of the pain.
I wish it was available to my father in law when he was on his way out.
On a long enough time frame, we're all on our way out. Cannabis should be there for all of us if we choose to use.
So what happened to the brothers?
NOTHING I would assume.
These scumbags would all be out of business with a 3% tax cap.
Laundering drug money makes swiss bankers look bad? Only in the papers, where pot dealers are criminals.
I'm sure that the accounts that matter will never be touched.
HSBC is the #1 bank for drugs. Has been for centuries. Opium wars. Check. Afghanistan. Check. Columbia and Mexico. Check.
It even funds are presidential election coffers. Where do you think Obama got his money in 08 and this year? It wasn't from individuals donating under 200 dollars. It was from foreigners throwing their drug money into the campaign. Usually via the internet.
Those of you looking for an Islamic connection will be interested in knowing that the bank was run by three brothers named Mardoche, Nessim and Meyer. Perhaps Mr. Krasting can shed some light these unusual names.
Sounds like a terrorist to me.
To be frank, his brother Oscar is a weiner.
Instead of laundering drug money, they should just focus on being a TBTF bank. Not only would they be protected, they would get bailed out (showered) with billions, even trillions of fiats, while paying fines of just fractions of cents on the dollar.
Stupid war on drugs strikes again. It's many tentacles wreaking havoc in so many different ways.
I am so glad i am an American because we are so clean when it comes to money and drugs. Thats why we could never ever even think of laundering drug money. That why GOD loves us.
HSBC is not a Swiss bank, it is the world's mosty widely recognized money laundering bank. This is he same HSBC Swiss subsidiary that leaked thousands of names of customers to the French, cooincidence? I think not. That this HSBC Swiss subsidiary has been breaking Swiss law comes as no surprise.

Just like he blames tax problems on "tax cheats" and not on the parasitic state he loves and supports.

HSBC is part of the Zionist Empire, along with Britain, the US, Switzerland, etc

HSBC loves violating Swiss law, and the inept & corrupt Federal government loves looking the other way, so they can place "nice" with their EU counterparts.

Dont worry though. This is not a case of corrupted people. 'Americans' are beyond corruption. They are simply people looking for escaping a punishing tax rate.
Welcome to an 'american' world, started on 1776, July, 4th, going on for who knows how long...
In all this I do not get from the article where the money that was recieved for the drugs is. I guess it never had to travel to Morocco? So then, what's the fuss about 8%-tax fraud commission, the big fish is still there??!!
