U.S. National Parks are reserves of natural, healthy-functioning ecosystems supporting diverse animal and plant life, protected by law from the impacts of human-generated activities and pollution. However, encroaching development, overuse, and air- and waterborne contaminants from outside park boundaries are causing noticeable changes to water quality and ecosystem health and functioning.
Long-term human-caused effects on alpine and subalpine ecosystems have attracted much media attention in the southern Rocky Mountains, especially in one of its crown jewels, Rocky Mountain National Park. Located an hour's drive from Denver at the top of the Colorado Front Range, the park is a popular year-round destination for more than three million people each year. The Front Range metropolitan area from Fort Collins south to Colorado Springs includes 75 percent of Colorado's population and its most productive agricultural lands. It is rich in natural gas resources, supports a thriving agricultural industry, and has a rapidly growing urban population. Pollutant emissions from the Front Range are the highest in Colorado. Nitrogen oxides and ammonia from transportation, construction, energy production, and agriculture combine with air pollutants from outside the region to affect visibility, regional haze, ozone, and especially atmospheric nitrogen deposition in the mountains to the west. Deteriorating air quality in and around the park is a growing concern.
USGS Fort Collins Science Center (FORT) researcher Jill Baron has been studying ecosystem processes in Rocky Mountain National Park for almost 30 years. In that time, she and her team at the Colorado State University Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory have found that changes due to atmospheric deposition, particularly of nitrogen, are affecting the Park's physical and living resources.

Lead investigator Dr. Jill Baron prepares to extract water from a soil lysimeter, a sampling device that captures soil water. The chemical composition of soil water gives important information on whether the forest area sampled is saturated with nitrogen. USGS photo. |
Nitrogen acts initially as a fertilizer and ultimately as an acidifier, both unnatural alterations in mountain ecosystems. Climatic and geologic conditions in Rocky Mountain National Park make it especially responsive to atmospheric deposition. The cold, harsh, windy climate makes for short growing seasons. Exposed and slow-weathering granitic bedrock, shallow soils, and old-growth forests cannot take up and store most of the nitrogen that is deposited. The alpine vegetation, adapted to short growing seasons and low-nitrogen conditions, cannot absorb it all. Consequently, the excess leaches into park lakes and streams. These lakes and streams can become acidic once nitrogen uses up the buffering chemicals in the water and soils. In other sensitive regions of the world, acidic waters have been shown to interfere with trout reproduction and survival.
Nitrogen deposition increased in the park at an average rate of about 2 percent per year from 1983 to 1999. From 1999–2006, deposition did not increase, but it did not decrease, either. Research has documented chemical changes in surface waters, soils, trees, and other vegetation on the east side of the park. Shifts in species composition have occurred in lakes (diatoms), and in the tundra, studies show that excess nitrogen from atmospheric deposition has increased the type and number of grasses and sedges. This is a concern because grasses can outcompete and replace flowering plants as nitrogen accumulates in soils. Research into the past, using lakebed sediments as records of change, has shown the progression of atmospheric deposition of nitrogen, metals, and organic chemicals through time.
Researchers prepare to take soil samples in permanent vegetation plots in the alpine tundra. |
This soil core sample from alpine tundra will be analyzed for different types of soil acidity and soil acid neutralizing capacity. |
Dr. Baron and her research team use models to predict how long, at current or different deposition rates, before acidification occurs in the park. They also "hindcast" back in time to postulate changes in atmospheric deposition and effects since the year 1900. Park managers, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment officials, and Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8 representatives are using this information to make science-based policy decisions to reverse current deposition trends and ultimately conserve the integrity of these fragile mountain ecosystems.

Real life … I try to avoid it at all costs.
Hartwick College's equestrian team placed tied for fourth Saturday in the Morrisville Show. The Hawks and Oneonta State each finished with 26 points.
VESTAL -- The Mariah Ruff era at Oneonta High -- at least as it pertains to varsity athletics -- ended Saturday afternoon at Binghamton University's Events Center.
ONEONTA -- Hartwick College left everything on the floor. But that happened the night before Saturday's 82-61 women's basketball loss to Amherst College in the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament.
SYRACUSE -- Franklin's girls, so unbeatable against Section Four competition over the past two seasons, fell for the second straight year in the Class D state basketball quarterfinals to a Section Three team.
SYRACUSE -- That Davenport's boys outscored the state's top-ranked Class D team by two points over the final three quarters provided an interesting footnote to Saturday's Class D state basketball quarterfinal.
SUNY Cobleskill freshman Winston Lee won the 60-meter dash in record time Saturday during the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III Indoor Track Championships at Roxbury Community College's Reggie Lewis Center.
Missy West clearly recalled the turning point of Friday's NCAA game at Lambros Arena. The funny thing is, her Hartwick College women's basketball team wasn't even on the floor at the time.
One-third of the finalists for Miss Basketball in New York state will be at Binghamton University's Events Center at noon Saturday. And if it's anything like last year's meeting between Oneonta High's Mariah Ruff and Utica Notre Dame's Emily Durr, you won't want to miss it.
It's been a long time for the Hartwick College women's basketball team. The Hawks will host an NCAA Division III Tournament game for the first time in 17 years today as Lambros Arena prepares for an opening-round doubleheader. Amherst and Springfield will play the first game at 5 p.m. today, followed by Hartwick and Baruch at 7 p.m.
This has been a tough winter. In fact, it has been one of the coldest winters on record. Now don't get me wrong, I love winter and I always have. I've always believed that people who don't like winter don't have anything to do when the snow flies and temperatures drop below freezing. But I've never had that problem.

Fast Money! Dylan Ratigan Sells Tribeca Loft For $1.38 M.
Is it really surprising that former MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan is fleeing his Tribeca loft? The political pundit and anti-Wall Street crusader was definitely a little too close for comfort to those Greedy Bastards living at 55 North Moore Street, so we're not shocked to see that he's sold it for $1.38 million.
Mr. Ratigan announced in June that he was leaving his eponymous show, a move telegraphed by what appeared to be his growing frustrations with the limitations of talking things out on cable news. Now, he's appears making an even bigger move. Either Mr. Ratigan is fleeing Manhattan, cesspool of corporate thieves that it is, or he's shopping for something a little more in line with a man of his prominence. After all, Tribeca and loft sounds impressive, but his one-bedroom was scarcely more than 1,000 square feet. Read More

Everyone should have this in their home. I live in Japan and after Fukushima exploded my family started having fever, chills, and upset stomach, and under my fingernails turned black! I then remembered as a child my mother was in the hospital and the staff accidentally gave her a medication she was highly allergic took and she had a severe, life threatening reaction and they made her drink pure powered charcoal mixed with water to get out the poison. When I remembered this I gave my family this charcoal and everyone of us got better and my fingernails returned to normal. So for cleansing the body of chemicals and poison it works.

Many Uses for Activated Charcoal

Posted by Reviewer1487108 From Texas on May 21, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
There are so many uses for activated Charcoal. I recommend that every household keep this product in stock. It is great for those suffering from diarrhea or bloating. We have also used it when we got food poisoning. It should be kept in household where small children are present in case of accidental poisonings. Then, I keep it in case of scorpion or bee/wasp stings, or spider bites. I was bit by a brown recluse several years ago, and I opened a capsule and made a paste with a few drops of water. I applied it to the bite and 24 hours later, it had absorbed all the poison. The bite was completely healed within a week!

I can name 3 things this has done for me right off the bat-- 1. When I wake up with heartburn I take two of these and I am able to go back to sleep immediately. 2. When making cookies with my children I allowed myself one more cookie and really upset my stomach with all of the over-indulgence of sweetness-- I popped two of these capsules with a glass of water and with in a few minutes my stomach ache was gone. 3. I felt a sore throat and ear ache coming on and I took 2 of these in the morning.. then two in the afternoon.. and by the next day I felt no symptoms of infections setting in.

Charcoal- a real life saver
13 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1547306 From Florida on Mar 11, 2007
Purchased at iHerb
I would never be without charcoal, as charcoal can save your life. Used this charcoal on a spider bite. I think it was a brown recluse because of what happened, but cannot be sure since I didn't see the spider that bit me. Just noticed that my elbow began to feel as if it had been scraped. But it had no signs of a scrape, just one or two holes. Within 48 hours a small ulcerated sore appeared. I immediately began to treat it with charcoal mixed with a tiny amount of water. It never got worse and began to heal. Within five days there was nothing but a scab. I like this brand of charcoal. And I like i-herb's prices. I can't find charcoal in the drug store for less than $12.

This product helps if you are experiencing bloat, stomach illness or just ate too much and need your food to digest properly. The greatest thing is you feel better shortly after you digest 2 capsules with any discomfort related to these symptoms

I got mine in store today for $7.98 and used the 15% coupon that was emailed to me to bring the price down to $6.78 and with taxes it cost $7.34 out the door. I called my store after I received the email stating the book was reserved for me in store at BN just to make sure it was there before I made the trip out there.
The library CD sets' audio quality is IMHO far better than the low bitrate mp3s. They are uncompressed WAVs and carry more depth and inflection than the 60bps mp3s on audible. That being said, mp3s were how I found this series, and later the CDs. I'm listening to Dragons and it's got a case of "ramblicitis" too... the first 3 were the best. I hope Dotrice is alive for the last book when (if) it comes out. |
Based on book 5, with it's endless ramblings and tedious descriptions and vainglorious verbal wanking, I'm more than happy to sacrifice the half which doesn't interest me, asinine though it may be in your mind. I'll watch the abridged summary on HBO. Last edited by Darkliege; 02-11-2013 at 11:12 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
Old thread, but just want to let people know that these may still be readily available at this price at your local stores! Probably the best 8 bucks I've ever spent, contemplating picking up another just to have. I have been interested in the show for a while but decided to buy the book instead when I saw this deal, and I am loving the story so far (half way through).
Can anybody recommend a specific printing/ version of the rest of the book to purchase? I was looking into to getting the mass market box set but now I am thinking about picking up hardcovers of each book. I would have liked to have a matching set but does not look like I can do that. Probably will have to go with the ones that are easily found at B&N, for about 20 bucks a pop. Those ones are attractive enough, I suppose. |
I recommend it for sure, especially if you enjoy the HBO show and are interested in some deeper characterization and in some cases the reasoning behind some events that occur during the TV series. So much more depth. ---------------------------------- *I came back to this thread in hopes that someone could direct me to the second book A Clash of Kings in this same format, it great having a solid book with a mark sewn in.

Thousands of ballots may not reach military voters and that's rubbing a U.S. senator from Texas the wrong way. John Cornyn says it's been clear for some time that the Department of Defense has made voting by our deployed military a low priority. "This most recent scandal has to do with widespread problems experienced by overseas military voters as a result of the failure to have a system of redirecting blank ballots."
Cornyn says military personnel change duty stations frequently and that makes it important to redirect those ballots efficiently. He says the Defense Department lacks a centralized, mail re-direction system. Because of that, he says ballots are unlikely to reach service members until Election Day has passed. He says it would sadly ironic if soldiers' ballots aren't counted in what could be a number of close elections..."since the poeple protecting our rights are being denied their opportunity to vote".
Conryn and four other senators expressed their concern in a letter this week to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. But he says that's not likely to stop the delays and prevent many military voters stationed overseas from being able to cast a ballot.

Reader's groundhog story ' interesting and remarkable'
A Newport reader wrote: "As a follower of your articles and a listener to your radio show in the 40's and 50's, we have shared mutual friends such as State Police Officer Chester Hartwell, and R.N.
Johnson. You spoke at Jack's 75th Anniversary of his being in business in Walpole, NH."
(Chet Hartwell was an excellent member of the NH State Police for many years. The last I knew, he was well into his nineties, a reader of this column, and had retired in Vermont. From 1943-1966 I was Radio Farm Program Director for radio station WKNE, Keene, doing a daily farm program from my farm. During those years, Ralph N. "Jack" Johnson sponsored those programs. Jack's John Deere farm machinery business is now headed by his grandson, Allan Johnson).
Our Newport reader continued: "I would like to submit a story about Mr. Groundhog.
On February 2, in the mid'50's, I was driving a 1949 - 650 Brockway low-bed, owned by Carmen & Porter of Alstead.
On a trip from Alstead to Bridgewater, Vermont, to pick up heavy equipment, after going past Drewsvill store, on my right at the next farm I glanced out the large and low window and behold was there Mr. Groundhog sitting up as proud as a peacock.
"Thought you might be interested in this story as I haven't met many people who have seen 'Mr. Phil' on his special day in 77 years on this planet."
I must confess, in all my 90 years, I have never heard of a woodchuck ever leaving his winter abode in New Hampshire as early as Feb. 2.
An interesting and remarkable story, indeed.
As a "city" kid, educated from fifth grade on, in private schools, (Tilton and Vermont Academy) my first contact with a woodchuck came in the late 1930s. A Vermont farmer not wanting any harm to come to it, brought a baby woodchuck to our Mr. Mark Emerson, biology teacher at Vermont Academy. Since I was taking care of the animals in the laboratory, the little one was turned over to me to care for. At the time the baby chuck had not opened its eyes and his only interest was eating without biting. I began by feeding it milk from a teaspoon. The young chuck quickly learned how to grab the spoon with both front paws and slurp down the milk. It was a messy process, but effective. It wasn't long before it opened its eyes and then was able to drink from a small saucer. Its first solid food was lettuce leaves donate by the school's chef.
When school was out in June, I took the little fellow, nicknamed "Chucky," to my then home at Grandfather Cole's house. I was not sure if Gramp, having retired from farming over ten years before, would appreciate my doing so, but, thankfully, he and the young chuck took to each other right off. It was not long before a blossoming friendship developed. I learned that woodchucks were very clean and "naturally" housebroken.
Gramp fixed up a "cat" box and it was always utilized when Chucky was indoors.
All that summer I was busy with baseball or bird watching or some other distraction and Chucky "imprinted" on Gramp. Indoors or out the developing woodchuck followed Gramp around wherever he went. He trailed along behind when Gramp mowed his lawn and even while hoeing in the garden.
Chucky quickly learned early on to keep out from under foot. This was especially necessary as Gramp always hoed his garden backwards.
He liked the looks of a wellhoed garden as hoeing in that manner showed no footprints.
Gramp would frequently note that weed seeds took longer to germinate by not being pressed into a solid contact with the soil. Chucky did nibble on a few vegetable plants but he was never complained of as his garden snacks were just "tastings" so's to speak.
Gramp made sure that Chucky had plenty to eat at regular mealtimes.
Late that fall, Chucky disappeared one day. He had always come to us when called, but not this time. We guessed he had decided it was time to dig a hole and go to sleep for the winter. We hoped to see him again in the Spring. Unfortunately, that was not to be.
A Candia reader wrote on Jan. 15: "I wanted to tell you that Red-bellied Woodpeckers (a male and a female) have showed up at my feeder for the frst time this year.
"Also, it was a good year for Bluebirds and they have kept coming back almost daily. A pair were at an old untended nest box this morning! It was 30/F at the time (10 a.m.) and low here in Candia was -8/F.
It appeared that the male was coaxing the female out of the nest box which I can only imagine was filled with old wasps nests, cobwebs, grass, etc. There are two others that the bluebirds and swallows nest in and a third new box.
The one they were hanging out at had not been used by any species for a year. Perhaps it was better with years of clutter inside."

Accentuate the moment with this beautiful diamond ring, showcasing french pavé-set round diamonds.
This ring is absolutely stunning in its simple elegance and pairs beautifully with the Scalloped Pave engagement ring.
Virginia, Phoenixville, PA – September 2013
This ring and bluenile customer service are exceptional. Description is accurate and ring is as expected.
Jomnarong, Newark, DE – May 2013
I ordered this ring (in platinum) just as a pick me up...not really knowing what I was going to be dealing with upon its arrival. I have to say, I was completely surprised by the quality of the diamonds. The online shots absolutely do not capture the magnitude of sparkle this ring gives off. I've received multiple compliments on it, which seems a bit unusual/uncommon (particularly in the context of wearing a solo pave band). In conclusion, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and would recommend this site to others.

Kenny Wheeler
Kenny Wheeler
Veteran trumpeter/fl�gelhornist Kenny Wheeler has long been one of the most advanced voices on his instrument. Blessed with a full, lovely tone and an astounding range, Wheeler sounds equally at home in fiery free jazz explorations or softer, more lyrical post-bop meditations. Wheeler was born in 1930 in Toronto, Ontario, and began playing trumpet at age 12. After studying at Toronto's Royal Conservatory, he moved to London in 1952, where he gigged with swing and dance bands. He appeared with John Dankworth's orchestra at the 1959 Newport Festival and remained with that group until 1965. In 1966, Wheeler discovered free jazz, and, fascinated, joined John Stevens' Spontaneous Music Ensemble for the next four years. In addition, he played jazz-rock fusion with the Mike Gibbs Orchestra from 1969-1975, and joined Tony Oxley's sextet (along with free jazz giants like Derek Bailey and Evan Parker) from 1969-1972. Through the latter, Wheeler was invited to join German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach's groundbreaking free jazz big band the Globe Unity Orchestra in 1970, an association Wheeler maintained for years to come. During the first half of the '70s, Wheeler played with Anthony Braxton, which became his primary focus. In 1975, he signed with the ECM label and recorded the well-received Gnu High, which established him as a solo artist of note; the following year, he left Braxton and joined the trio Azimuth. Wheeler turned out a series of excellent ECM albums, including 1977's Deer Wan and 1983's Double, Double You (that year, Wheeler also began a four-year run with the Dave Holland Quintet). Several more generally fine outings followed in the '90s, including the ECM dates Music for Large and Small Ensembles and The Widow in the Window (both recorded in 1990), plus other recordings for Justin Time and Soul Note later in the decade. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

Second Language Learners Making Video in Three Contexts
We describe videomaking projects in Canada, India, and Mexico in which second language learners were asked to show the children in the other countries what their lives were like. We consider how this form of expression might contribute to second language learning and allow children to make use of in and out-of-school resources. We also raise questions about the affordances and constraints of the videomaking process and explore how teachers might approach such multimodal literacy activities with children.

"Thai Temple" Sunday outdoor foodcourt in Warren? [DTW]
Did anyone attend the Sunday Market events in June at Warren's "Thai Temple?"
http://www.mbmcmichigan.org/index.php (scroll down to middle of webpag)
jjspw said they were quite nice last year. The next one is 24-July from 10:30am until ? (i.e., whenever I finish grazing my brunch/lunch), and I'm lookin' forward to it!
re: rainsux
I thought it was quite a good vendor turn-out too. I didn't get there till nearly 1pm and some of my very favorite items were sold out. It was great to see the lady with the chicken/pineapple/taro etc turnovers back. Apparently she's a new widow, so that's why she was gone.
Wasn't that Nung in the corner at the end of the first row, up from the token desk? My dining companion get a nice stir fry from her.
I asked a few of the vendors and all were consistent in insisting they'll be open EVERY Sunday for the remainder of the season. That's hard for me to believe, but that's what they said.
re: boagman
I think it was fine, and well worth going even though I got there so late some vendors were already gone and others were sold out of many items I would have liked to have.
That noodle soup keeps getting better and better each week-- this time included short ribs, which is less important than the wonderfully flavored broth. And the sour sausage, among my absolute favorites, made its return from two different vendors this time.
Basil Stir fry was available, now with 4 different protein choices and infinite heat levels. A Pad Thai guy has joined that tent. I do wish they'd start offering the Hoi Tod again-- I see that cook walking around, but not cooking lately when I've been there.
And the pork-on-a-skewer family in the back corner keep coming up with new items. In addition to their little ground pork and nut dim-sum-looking dumplings they're lately offered an omelet-looking version done up in rice noodle sheets rather than egg. Different fillings encased in sticky rice and rolled in banana leaf are also favorites of mine, as I enjoy both the squash and the banana. I especially appreciate how she includes a small bundle of romaine/cilantro and sometimes mint or other herbs along with each purchase, with some sort of dipping sauce often tucked in as well.
re: ak994
For anyone following along at home, Market is ON for tomorrow, Sunday Oct 6. I do hope the predicted rain chooses some other time to fall. Market's season always ends in October so I'm not sure how many (if any) more there will be this year.
New wrinkle for this week is the owner of the Tokyo Sushi restaurants, who's a Thai guy, is bringing his sushi. I've no interest in that, but okay.
We went to the market yesterday, the food was tasty as usual but it was disappointing, very small, I didn't count but maybe only around 10 or so vendors?
The prepared food in containers sold out very fast & there was little to choose from.
It took forever to get the cooked to order food as they were overwhelmed.
We had the opposite problem last time, too many choices!
The green drink lady was missing.
I wonder if the time we attended last year was a special market since everything was so plentiful?
A friend from Thailand told me this is the start of the rainy season in Thailand, the monks retreat during that time, maybe that's why the market was small.
It's a long drive for me so I prefer the more bustling scene.
We did have a very delicious cold noodle in curry, coconut, fish & lemon grass sauce; pad thai; whole fish; taro, coconut & red beans in banana leaf and some other dishes so it was not a total loss!-
re: Michigan Mishuganer
Yesterday there were an unusually small number of vendors. I'm not sure why. And the crowd was much larger than usual, I thought. Luwan, who seems to be the organizer, was not there yesterday-- she's gone back to Thailand for a bit to tend to a sick husband, I was told. No idea whether vendors might need to be encouraged/reminded to show up.
The prior date, July 7, was the opposite-- many vendors, plentiful choices, few patrons.
re: Michigan Mishuganer
Anyone know whether Sunday Market is definitely ON for 8/18 and 8/25? Those were dates I picked up from a prior post here but would like confirmed. Was anyone lucky enough to find a copy of the coveted and rare second printing of their 2013 dates flier? Supposedly some restaurants had them.
Luwan I know has gone back to Thailand for a while to tend to an ill husband-- I don't know what effect that may have on the organization of and participation in the Markets going forward. Last time I went there weren't so many vendors and she was not there, so possibly the regulars aren't being given as much encouragement to show up. I do hope that's not the case.
FYI - First market day for 2013 is Sunday May 5. Note, though, that the biggest market day for the year will be May 19. (Some kind of "Royal Thai" bash.)
The other market days for 2013 are 6/2, 6/16, 6/30, 7/7, 7/28, 8/14, 8/25, 9/8, 9/22 and 9/29.
re: rainsux
Great catch D. For once, unfortunately, the typo was not mine. It was printed on hundreds of their tiny fliers. I called Lawan to pass along your catch (she says thank you!). She also added that the correct dates should now be 8/4, 8/18 and 8/25...I'd advise people to double check the website (once loaded for 2013) as it gets closer to Aug. Sorry.

Here's the flyer or this Sunday, May 19--
re: ak994
When I moved to Tucson, I emailed the local temple...they have Thai buffets once a month....there is also a big street fair called Tucson Meet Yourself, where all nationalities will have booths representing their food and the temple will be there. The Temple (in Detroit and Tucson) is also good at asking their members where to find specific items like mee krob or fresh jerky....So if you are traveling, you might want to email the Temple prior.
Tomorrow/Sunday is the first Sunday Market event of 2012. Anyone else planning to attend?
re: jjspw
Just came back from it.
Pretty fun! The token exchanger lady promised me a better showing next time. I guess only half the usual vendors showed up since it was mother's day. There were a total of 8 stations. Things I saw: Multiple fried fish stations, sweets area with a variety of baked goods and coconut juice based sweets. A fried rice station. Thai iced tea and coffee stand. Two different noodle ladies, a satay person, green papaya salad, variety of curries, and deep fried potatoes, bananas and taros.
I had the two types of noodles, satay, and green papaya salad.
One noodle bowl is very typical SE-MI. pork/seafood based broth, thin rice vermicelli noodles, bean sprouts, fried onions, cilantro/onion garnish. Mine came with some pork meat bits and two meatballs. Ymmy! excellent broth! Very similiar to Vietnamese Hu Tieu, or Kuy Teav in Cambodia, just with the little something special Thai people do. More chili-hot and sourish than the vietnamese version i'm used to. Excellent though. I think every weekend morning should begin with a bowl of noodle soup.
The other bowl was kinda meh. Flat diamond shaped rice noodles, in a darker sweeter broth. Not too disiimliar to taiwanese style beef noodles, just with more heat and sugar. Toppings were pork small intestine, roast pork, and pork liver. I give it a so-so.
Satay sticks were good. one chicken one beef. good glaze. excellent balance of saltiness, flavor, sweet. Moist, tender, with a hint of chew. me gusta.
Finally the green papaya salad. Oh how I love and hate thee. The lady was courteous enough to ask if I could hot stuff. Sure, I replied, considering I can eat anything in the vietnamese and latin repertoire. young green papaya julienned. excellent crunchy textures. She thing slicked some eggplant rind in, garlic, crab legs (very interesting, i'll get back to those), and peppers which I now call Satan's Sperm. Why? The visual similarities of these small chilis and swimmers are obvious, but more importantly the crushingly high quantity of capsaisin that is in it. Yep. I was that guy. Panting, sucking wind, eye watering, desprately praying for the icea tea line to move faster. The crab aspect is interesting. Just legs. small little blue things. Im' not sure if they were pickled or what? unique flavor that i've never had before. tasty little bastards. For comparisons sake, The Vietnamese green papaya salad, is the same julienned green papaya which shredded beef jerky and charred liver with some aromatic fish sauce on top. Du du Kho Bo.Anyway, I'm def in next time it comes around esp if there's more variety!
p.s. there's a stand in the corner to get your haircut too! I'm brave from a food perspective, but not just anybody can touch my hair.
re: donbui82
The token/money-changer lady is (phonetically), Lou-wahn. The younger papaya-salad
maker is Tina. The elderly papaya-salad maker is Vi. I've noticed that remembering
their names, seems to get me a bit more food for my tokens.re: Heat in the papaya salad ... they wouldn't sell me what they have pre-made. On my
very first visit, Lou-wahn INSISTED, "no peppers!" Wouldn't even let my try/taste the other
stuff. After a bit of fussing, we compromised on, "one; just one pepper." It was fine (plenty)Lou-wahn recognized me this time and seemed surprised/happy to see me return. Then
she apologized for not inviting me to their Songkran party (Thai New Year) a few weeks
ago. She asked for my email address. Fingers are crossed that I'll be invited to their
other events.The Monk's money tree was empty when I arrived (10:10) and empty when I was leaving.
So I put $1 on the tree. He said thank you, then returned to his PA. I don't know what he
was saying, but there was a rush from the few Thai's there, to put their $1's on the tree! <g>> Haircuts
I've been thinking of going to a buzz cut, or shaved, for the summer. I may give it a try.
re: rainsux
Thats Thai Chilis for you. There about 100k scoville. Hanabero is 300k and a Jalapeno is 5k just for perspective. Amazing little things though and that Papaya salad is fantastic.
I wish I would have known about this earlier, Id have definitely been there. I should be going for sure on the 8th.

re: ak994
I was really bummed that my favorite beef/pork jeky lady was not there, as they no longer sell it at Thai Taste in Troy....I asked one of the vendors and she said the wife of Thai Taste opened a second Thai Taste in Waterford off of Huron Road at Elizabeth Lake Road (orig. a viet. restauarant, then Thai, now Thai Taste)...I hope I get to check it out prior to moving.
Also, I was told that the lady who cuts hair has won numerous awards in Asia....the ladies were raving about her, but yet I only saw her working on men...but still a random interesting tip.
I was also told by the same women that the lady who was selling the satay, sticky mango rice and a few other things had a noodle sweet dish(it sold out around 12) tht if you like sweets it was their favorite thing there...wish I tried it.
Last year one of the monks got a vendor to make me mee krob, was hoping to see it, but no luck!
The massaman curry had zero heat but it was out of this world....meat that fell off the bone and the sauce was super delicious with heavy coonut milk.....whoe peanuts an almonds. I declare it the best I've had.
Also, the grilled pork skewers were soooo good! I noticed the majority of the vendors were tokens only.
Afterwards, I ran to QQ for a watermelon frostee and ran into a bunch of people from Thai Temple.
re: christyar
I wonder what happened to the jerky lady? It's been months since they've had it at Thai Taste. Beginning to wonder if that lady has moved or is no longer making jerky.
The satay, sticky mango rice, etc. lady--I think it's the same one who's been selling that stuff all along--used to bring some of her desserts/sweets to Thai Taste every so often. Might not have been a regular thing, but maybe if she had leftovers from the temple or other Thai events/holidays.
re: jjspw
For what it's worth, I saw this in a yelp review of Thai Taste (it might have been a post by christyar from above):
" I was bummed that they did not have any thai beef jerkey like at the midwest buddhist medtation summer festivals....but I later emailed them and a few days later I had the phone number of the lady from the temple and now I can order direct from the source! Plus, they were excited that I went to their temple...."
The posting date was 2/15/12.
re: jjspw
I had a phone number to order the jerky. I got the number from Thai taste maybe back in december....not sure if I still have it. I never called, but I sure did want to!!!! There was a stand that had the jerky marinated/prepped, but they never fried it while I was there. It was an end table opposite side of the token lady. I think I had their last year and it was less sweet and more fatty. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the satay people gave free coconut drink with your order and it was tasty!
Their indoor, evening food court (buffet?) is 'on' for Oct 16th. Tickets are $20 at the door. What
door? Watch their website to confirm times & the precise location ... I *think* Luwan (sp?) was
describing this location:http://maps.google.com/maps?q=870+Nor...
Or; buy the tickets their regular daytime/outdoor food court at the Ryan Road temple. i.e. Two
food courts on Oct 16th.-
re: rainsux
So, you're saying there will be a Thai food night at the KofC Hall in Clawson? Those are always fun and they serve alcohol, and the Thai ladies inevitably take over the dance floor and get nostalgic for their home provinces. That's what I call a good time. Though, the good food tends to run out early. Let's keep in touch. I can't yet find details on the Temple website, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Thx RS
re: rainsux
Wish I could have joined you, RS, but I got a call for some locksmith work at the tail end of church, and that put a crimp in my schedule. I'm actually just sitting down for a late lunch at Polish Village Cafe as a result. Sounds like it's a worthy endeavor!

re: rainsux
So what did we try? "We" almost didn't make the trip. A few months ago, my bride of 25+
years advised that she doesn't share my interest in trying new places/cuisines. At the last
moment, realizing that I'm going regardless, she decided to join me. Afterward, she kept
mentioning how happy she was with the change in our Sunday routine.Other than two husbands of Thai wives, we were the only Anglos on-site between 10:30 and
11. We felt very welcome. Much interest in how we found their event. "The internet" seemed
to be an acceptable answer. Those near the entrance were amused when I made a donation
to the temple from my Tablet o'Dollars. (I glue/pad $1 bills into a tablet. Why? Convenience
and fun.Also MUCH concern about our comfort with spice levels. Most of the vendors offered us a
taste/sample before buying. We split a curry & noodle dish, consuming it all on-site. Also
bought sausages, jerky, beef w/mint & papaya salad for dinner. As we were leaving, the
first bananas & taro were coming out of the fryer.The papaya salad was not obvious. I had to ask for it. "Luwan" (sp?) seemed to be the lead
greeter/money-token changer. She walked us to a table and instructed "Vi" (sp?) to make
another with no peppers. I fussed. She insisted. We compromised on one pepper. I loved it
and will try two peppers next time. I never did get a straight answer to my question about how
many peppers were in the std preparation.A mother & daughter sat at an adjoining table ... and were willing to explain the various
vegetables that were not obvious. The (miniature) Thai eggplant was a surprise. I asked
which Thai restaurant(s) they preferred. Their answer was, "we cook at home everyday."We left the fried tilapia for another visit. Didn't see the fried chicken that Gan mentioned.
If you are thinking of attending, act swiftly. Only three [3] more before they shutdown for 2010.
I noticed red & green Fanta's that I have not seen before. I asked about the elusive Limon
flavor. No recognition.-
re: rainsux
:-) Neat. Glad you had a good time. The semi-annual K of C events are very charming. Really good time, and they serve booze which makes it even more fun. The food is good and the Thai ladies take over the dance floor late into the night, all nostalgic like. I sense a CH event?
We checked this out today. It took us a couple of tries to find it, but it was well worth the confusion. We had a taste of the fried bananas, grilled chicken wings, 2 kinds of pork satay, fried rice, veggie dumplings and the largest grilled chicken breast I've ever had. Everyone was very friendly and several people stopped by to see how we (2 caucasions) had heard about the event. The foods was fantastic. We loved the satay and the fried rice. I'm not sure what was in it, but it was great.
re: rainsux
We couldn't figure out where the building was and drove by it a couple of times (saw lots of cars parked on a lawn, but didn't know how they got there). We ended up parking at a small medical building a couple doors south of the center. There was a small sign indicating that it was ok to park there.
going again next weekend. most authentic green papaya salad i've had outside of the thai temple in burbank. The fried chicken wasn't bad once you dipped the chicken into the sweet/tart/seafood/spicy/salty sauce left over by the green papaya salad.
What was annoying was getting smacked in the face twice by a six year old who had no manners.... -
It was beyond my wildest expectations, it was fantastic! I will definitely be returning sometime this year. The whole fried tilapia was the best tilapia I've had in my life. so many new & delicious foods to try like okra flower tea.The only dish I was not too crazy about was a soup with offal & noodles.
I haven't been to any of the June ones this year--they were all at really bad times for me. I'm hoping to go to the July 24 one.
re: jjspw
Neat-O! Just got back from the MBMC "Thai Temple" Sunday Market. A MUST experience. A fond representation of Thai street life. (jjspw—hope I didn't just miss you; I arrived today at 10:30 and left at 12:30, without having spotted any Hawaii folks.)
The food is very authentic. I mean that in a good way and in a, You've-been-warned, way. Everyone is going to like the pork and chicken satay. I also recommend the som tam pounded green papaya salad. I think the river crab it contained was raw and of unknown origin, but I assume it had been pickled or had preservatives added. I'm still alive, anyway.
The fried bread and fried bananas were nice, and the various Asian ice and fruit drinks hit the spot, as well. I also recommend the laarb. First timers may want to go with the white chicken or pork version. I went with the duck (incld. skin and misc. organs) and it was delicious. The mussels omelette as well as the spicy fish&veggie curry looked better than they tasted (my opinion, only), but others seemed to enjoy them.
I didn't try the whole fish, which may have been fried last night and left sitting out until this afternoon (in classic Thai fashion), but it looked like it might have been quite good with some sweet chili sauce!
Also on offer were homemade beef jerky and homemade sausages, such as Chiang Mai sausage. Both looked wonderful. (Aside—JanPrimus' buds from Corridor Sausage Co. were in the crowd, so I'd be interested to hear their opinion).
If you saw the Thai episode of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, where he drank algae water, and you wanted to try it yourself, well it's on offer at this Market (in recycled Aquafina bottles). I thought it was interestingly drinkable, but I wouldn't let my wife buy some more to take home.
One regret I had was that the noodle lady got a very late start in heating up her cauldron, so I wasn't able to try whatever noodle dishes she was going to make.
A couple other notes—all the proceeds go to the temple. I think many if not all the vendors supply their own ingredients as a donation, and pass along 100% of sales to the temple, so please don't be too tough of a customer. There are also numerous "opportunities" to make a donation: as you come in, as you chat with the monks, as you go inside the temple to use the bathroom, as you watch kids dance to Thai karaoke music, as you get a haircut in the garden, etc.. So, if you're the generous type ($5 here, $2 there…), you may want to bring a little extra cash; if you're not, I'm sure your food purchases are very welcomed all the same.
Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't comment for those guys who know me, that…. While this event is by NO means a "pick-up" kind of place, guys who just appreciate aesthetics will be treated to a significant number of charming Thai family women in their 20s/30s/40s/dare-I-say-50s, not at all shy in their short shorts and worn flip flops, showing off some absolutely lovely country-girl legs. The monks may not have noticed, but I'm not a monk; just a happily married guy with a kid and with (hopefully) a talent for harmlessly glancing discretely.
August market days are the 7th and 21st.
re: boagman
:-) Well, let's talk more at Trizest next Saturday.
PS--I've subsequently been informed that the green slurry in the salvaged water bottles (shown in the photo of the adorable mother and daughter) actually was not algae, but was a liquified herbaceous superfood named Centella http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centella... (apologies....)
**now my wife is really mad I didn't let her bring home some bottles of it.
re: gan911
Arghhh... Good luck gan911. One of my last great hopes for that is to get the chef at Grosse Pointe Farms' "Bambu" to do some advance notice, off-the-menu offerings. Late October is my thinking, in this regard.
re: VTB
VTB, so glad you checked it out! This is one of the best-kept foodie secrets in the area.
Unfortunately, you didn't miss me on Sunday. I ended up skipping yesterday because of an all-night sausage-casing party on Saturday night. Looking forward to catching up with you at Trizest, though!
re: rainsux
Just a heads-up on these, for anyone interested-- even though they're usually every other week, the next one is NEXT Sunday, July 7. I have no idea why this break from their usual pattern.
I went by very late today, and Luwan specifically reminded me-- come again NEXT Sunday!
I'm still not clear on the exact schedule for the rest of 2013. She said they ran out of flyers and are re-printing. I so wish they'd just post to their web page as they did for 2012, or even just to their FB.

Perhaps the greatest asset to the Association of Information Technology Professionals is the strength of its many parts. Supported by a strong national governing body, AITP is provided with an overall vision for the association and a defining strategy that will provide direction for years to come. But the overall success of the association is based primarily upon the dedication and the commitment of its members on a local level.
AITP Headquarters understands the symbiotic relationship of the association on a national and chapter level, and further realizes its role to assist and support each chapter. This includes a commitment from Headquarters to continually discover opportunities that will encourage chapter growth, engage members on a local level and bring overall value to the association. As the greatest benefit to members is that which comes directly from its chapters, AITP will remain committed to these goals in all association decisions.
AITP is also proud to serve its members through the creation of its new Web Portal, launching this summer. Members will be enabled to use the Portal for chapter promotion and development along with the opportunity to share and gain knowledge and best practices from chapters across the country. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting new tool for all AITP members.
Additionally, AITP supports its members on a chapter level through its rewards program. Aimed at rewarding members for their years of dedication and service to the association, the rewards program serves as a significant service in recognizing those who have invested time and energy in supporting their chapters.
Headquarters is committed to programs that will drive positive experiences for members on a local level, but is equally committed to building the broader community of members throughout the association. In the electronic information era of today, the geographic constraints of yesterday are now a thing of the past. AITP is dedicated to staying on the cutting edge of these changing times and adapting to the technology of tomorrow.
On a national level, Headquarters is working behind the scenes to assist chapters in their efforts to enlist new members and retain current members. This year, energy is being focused on improving the experience these members have. Staff is working to better the quality and performance of operations. Work is already underway to determine methods of cost-cutting and time-saving.
With the support of the AITP Board of Directors, Headquarters is working to increase the value of being part of a strong national organization. Members will soon be able to commune with the deep expertise of the association's membership in the sharing of intellectual capitol online. Members will have the opportunity to stay up-to-date on the latest advances in technology through affiliations and partnerships with companies. Members can further take advantage of a new Website, displaying new technologies that will allow for collaboration between and amongst members. Instruction sessions and discussion forums will drive knowledge and communicate best practices in an efficient and timesaving manner.
This is simply an exciting time to be a part of the Association of Technology Professionals. AITP Headquarters is concerned solely with supporting and developing programs that will bring value to each of its members so everyone will have a positive experience on both a national and local level.

L & P Services Inc. is the Washington County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery (MHAR) board's contract agency for mental health and chemical dependency services. CEO Brent Phipps had established a small agency to accommodate the courts, the county home, and other underserved entities in the county. His intention was to serve 50 to 60 clients, but that plan changed with the closing of Washington County Recovery Alternatives (2007) and Washington County Community Mental Health Services (2009). Certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health in October of 2005 and by the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services in May of 2006, L & P Services is now the MHAR Board's only contract agency for mental health and addiction services and serves approximately 1,500 clients. L & P Services provides a full array of services. In addition to individual therapy and case management, the agency offers a variety of therapeutic groups, including those focused on anger management, life skills, gender specific recovery issues, relapse prevention, healthy relationships and dual diagnosis.
In an interview with Phipps, he spoke of the significant changes in Washington County behavioral health services over the past five years.
Extreme funding cuts. Many Washington County residents seeking help for mental health or chemical dependency problems have seen a reduction in service availability, but none so great as those individuals without a paying source such as Medicaid or private insurance. Over the past five years, the MHAR board has lost 75 percent of its funding for non-Medicaid services, resulting in the total loss of a sliding fee scale for mental health services. At the current rate of service demand, MHAR Board dollars for a sliding fee scale for chemical dependency services will be depleted during the first quarter of 2012. This is devastating to the average citizen and negates the opportunity for lifesaving treatment services for many people in need. "While people who present at L & P or the hospital in crises can receive timely crisis intervention services, it is a Band-Aid approach and does not encompass the level of care conducive to long term recovery," Phipps explained.
Most of Ohio's 88 counties have behavioral health levies that enable them to subsidize treatment costs for non-Medicaid and under- or non-insured individuals. Washington County is one of only 14 counties without a levy and, thus, is unable to extend a lifeline to those who cannot afford services.
Treatment agencies in Ohio face an additional complication with the recent implementation of service limits for clients with Medicaid coverage. The deinstitutionalization of severely mentally disabled (SMD) clients that began in 1988 was logically accompanied by many services and supports to help these individuals live independently in the community. Service provision was based on each individual's needs as identified in a treatment service plan; allowable services are now reduced to a specific number of hours, regardless of need.
Phipps noted that locally the newly imposed service limits and the loss of a sliding fee scale have catapulted manageable problems into crises. He said that it is increasingly difficult for individuals to live independently. Hospitalizations have increased, as have the duration of hospital stays. The average hospital stay has traditionally been three to four days, but people are now so ill by the time they get help that the hospital stay is often weeks or even months.
"People have given up trying to access services," Phipps said. "They are becoming so much worse that it is nearly impossible to return to a functional state. Staff at the psychiatric hospital in Athens have said to me, 'It's been a long time since you have had people admitted this sick.' The severity of the situation in Washington County is unprecedented."
Loss of the local behavioral health hospital units. "The loss of Marietta Memorial's behavioral health units represents a huge gap in services, particularly the loss of detoxification services," Phipps stated. "This service is often a medically necessary precursor to recovery from addiction. Funding for detoxification services is sporadic and unreliable. In 2011 we only had the funding to provide detoxification services to six individuals, and then for only three to five days."
Phipps stated that though the overall outlook for behavioral health treatment in Washington County is grim, his agency is proud to have brought mental health and addiction services back under one roof. One point of entry for these services is especially critical for dually diagnosed clients and allows for better communication between the individual's service providers. The agency is determined to continue working with the MHAR Board to provide as many high quality services to as many Washington County citizens as available resources will allow.
