|Christianity, Animism
The term Naga people (Burmese: နာဂ, Hindi: नागा) refers to a conglomeration of several tribes inhabiting the North Eastern part of India and north-western Burma. The tribes have similar cultures and traditions, and form the majority ethnic group in Indian state of Nagaland, with significant presence in Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and some small population in Assam.
The Naga speak various distinct Tibeto-Burman languages, including Lotha, Angami–Pochuri, Ao, Poula (Poumai Naga), Inpui, Rongmei (Ruangmei), Tangkhul, Thangal, Maram, and Zeme. In addition, they have developed Nagamese Creole, which they use between tribes and villages, which each have their own dialect of language.
As of 2012, the state of Nagaland state officially recognises 17 Naga tribes. In addition, some other Naga tribes occupy territory in the contiguous adjoining states of Manipur, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh, India; and across the border in Burma. Prominent Naga tribes include Angami, Ao, Chakhesang, Chang, Khiamniungan, Konyak, Liangmai, Lotha, Rongmei, Zeme (see complete list).
The Naga tribes practised headhunting and preserved the heads of enemies as trophies before the 19th century.[1]

The Naga tribes live in the Indian states of Nagaland, Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh and the northwestern hill tracts of Burma, such as the Naga Self-Administered Zone (formerly in Sagaing Division).
The Nagas have no common language but speak languages belonging to branches of the Tibeto-Burman language group of the Sino-Tibetan language family. A language known as Nagamese Creole is commonly spoken in Nagaland and adjacent Indian states. Developed from Assamese and tribal languages, it is the common language among the rural tribes.
The official language of the Nagaland state is English, which is spoken fluently by the majority of urban populations, but rarely in the tribal rural areas. There Nagamese is commonly used by villagers to communicate among the different tribal districts. Some have demanded to join Nagaland. There is periodic tension and conflicts between the tribes of Nagaland and the tribes of Manipur.
Culture and organization[edit]
The Naga people are organized by tribes differentiated by language and some traditions. They have a strong warrior tradition. Their villages are sited on hilltops and until the later part of the 19th century, they made frequent armed raids to villages on the plains below. The tribes exhibit variation to a certain degree, particularly in their languages and some traditional practices.
Similarities in their culture distinguish them from the neighbouring occupants of the region, who are of other ethnicities. Almost all these Naga tribes have a similar dress code, eating habits, customs, traditional laws, etc. One distinction was their ritual practice of head hunting, once prevalent among tribal warriors in Nagaland and among the Naga tribes in Myanmar. They used to take the heads of enemies to take on their power. They no longer practice this ritual. Today the Naga people number around 2 million in total.
The men's clothing is distinctive: conical red headgear is decorated with wild-boar canine teeth and white-black Hornbill feathers. Their weapons are primarily a spear, with the shaft decorated with red-black hairs, and the Dao, with broad blade and long handle.
Encounter with others[edit]
Apart from cultural contacts with the neighboring Ahoms, the rulers of Assam from 1228, the Naga had little or no contact with the outside world, including that of greater India, until British colonization of the area in the nineteenth century.
In 1828, Britain annexed Assam following the Treaty of Yandabo in 1826.[2] In the 1830s, the British sent expeditionary forces, and in 1845, the colonial power succeeded in concluding a non-aggression pact with Naga chiefs, who formerly had attacked bordering areas in Assam. But the Naga repeatedly violated the agreement, continuing to raid in Assam.[3]
After the 1830s, British attempts to annex the region to India were met with sustained and effective guerrilla resistance from Naga groups, particularly the Angami Naga tribe. The British dispatched military expeditions and succeeded in building a military post in 1851 and establishing some bases in the region. In 1878 the Angamis mounted raids on British camps. The British responded strongly, burning several rebel villages and crushing the resistance. Eventually the region came under the administration of the British.[4]
Christian missionaries[edit]
Protestant Christian missionaries from Britain in the nineteenth century were successful in converting many among the Naga tribes. It led to them dropping many tribal customs and traditions and, along with the spread of English education, was part of the arrival of modernity in the Naga hills. The first missionary in the Naga hills is believed to be Rev. Miles Bronson in 1841, who stayed for a short period. In the 1870s, Dr. & Mrs. E. W. Clark worked among the Ao people. With the help of a Mr. Godhula, an Assamese Christian, they established the first church, a Baptist one, in Molungkimong (Dekha Haimong Village) in 1872.[5]
As the tribespeople adopted Christianity, they began to develop more of a "Naga" identity, a radical departure from their distinctions based on warring tribal villages. Today, more than 95% of Naga people identify as Christians, mostly Baptist. Naga society has changed markedly from what Europeans observed 100 years ago. Christianity and the missionaries became a stronger force for change in social and cultural practices than the government.[6]
The new educational system and religion disrupted the indigenous pattern of life. But, the tribes discarded social patterns, cultural practices and traditional political set-up without finding true functional substitutes in the assimilation offered by the colonizers.[7]
Resistance and struggle for identity[edit]
The Naga hills have been an area of continued resistance as they had long been isolated from outside cultures. The development of a spirit of nationalism and sense of a common identity are relatively new concepts among the Naga people. According to their traditions, each village is an independent republic; initially, they wanted to be free from all outside domination.
Modern education, together with Christian missions, contributed to the politicization of Naga ethnicity. In 1918, a group of educated Nagas (from present Nagaland) formed Naga Club. The club wrote to the Simon Commission in 1929 demanding that "Nagas should not be included within the Reformed Scheme of India"[8]
On 14 August 1947, the day before India gained independence from British rule, the Nagas were the first ethnic group from the northeast to declare their territory an independent state, not belonging to the new nation. Angami Zapu Phizo led the initial movement with the Naga National Council (NNC). In the last days of the British Raj, he held talks trying to achieve a sovereign Naga nation. In June 1947, a 9-point agreement was signed which promised to bring the Naga tribes under a single political administrative unit and recognised the Nagas' right to self-determination after 10 years. Disputes arose over the interpretation of the agreement, and many in the NNC opposed it.[9]
Under Phizo, the NNC declared their independence from the British on 14 August 1947, a day before India. In May 1951, the NNC claimed that 99 per cent of the tribal people supported a referendum to secede from India, which was summarily rejected by the government in New Delhi. By 1952, the NNC, composed primarily of Nagaland Nagas, led a guerrilla movement. India responded by crushing it with their armed forces. Phizo escaped from region through East Pakistan and went into exile to London. He continued to inspire the independence movement from there till his death in 1990.[10]
Statehood, factions and ceasefires[edit]
In 1960, the Naga People's Convention signed a 16-point agreement with the Indian government through which statehood was granted to Nagaland in 1963.
A ceasefire was signed between the NNC and the Indian government. They had six rounds of talks till 1972 with no real progress. In 1972 an assassination attempt was made on the Chief Minister of Nagaland, ending talks about independence. In November 1975, a delegation of the NNC signed the Shillong Accord, agreeing to unconditional acceptance of the Indian Constitution and surrender of arms. As the accord was condemned by many Nagas, it marked the beginning of factionalism among the revolutionaries.
The National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) was formed in the late 1970s by Thuingaleng Muivah, Isaac Swu and S. Khaplang. The NSCN later splintered into two, when Khaplang started another group.
The 1990s were marked by fratricidal violence among revolutionary groups. In Manipur particularly, ethnic violence erupted between the Nagas and Kukis, with both sides suffering hundreds of casualties.
On 23 January 1993, the NSCN(IM) was admitted to the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO). This was seen as a means to gain international attention to the Naga cause. In 1997, the NSCN(IM) signed a ceasefire with the Indian government, and negotiations have continued.
According to the UNPO, the NSCN believes the biggest impediment to peace is the refusal of the government of India to officially extend the ceasefire to all Naga-inhabited areas outside of Nagaland.[11] Clashes continued between the Indian army and the NSCN cadre.[12]
The Naga tribals have an egalitarian society. The village is a closely knit unit, consisting of intermarried households of different clans.
The village[edit]
The Naga traditionally live in villages. The village is a well-defined entity with distinct land demarcation from neighbouring villages. Each has a dialect, which fosters a strong sense of social solidarity within the village. Almost every home rears pigs, as they provide meat with little care needed. The people of the village are held together by social, economic, political and ritual ties. The villages have their own identities, but not in isolation, as there are interdependent relationships with neighboring villages. Modernization is slowly eroding the centrality of villages as a social unit, as large commercial towns are rapidly developing in every region of the Naga hills. This has brought about dramatic changes in the values, lifestyle, and social setup of the people.
The family[edit]
The family is the basic unit of the Naga society. Marriages are usually monogamous and fidelity to the spouse is considered a high virtue. Marriage within the same clan is not permitted, as it considered to be incest. Incestuous couples were previously ostracized from the villages. The family is the most important institution of social education and social control. There is deep respect for parents and elders in the Naga society. Material inheritance, such as land and cattle, is passed on to the male offspring, with the eldest son receiving the largest share. (indicating that the society was pseudo-egalitarian).
Status of women[edit]
The patriarchal society with a strong warrior tradition values the birth of boys. A Naga woman is traditionally expected to be obedient and humble. Her roles are complex and varied: wife, mother, child bearer and rearer, food producer and household manager. She supplements the household income by weaving and selling colorful shawls, an activity done exclusively by women. Women are traditionally not included in the decision-making process of the clan or the village.
Morung system[edit]
The morung, or youth dormitory, used to be an essential part of Naga life. Apart from the family, a person's time living in the morung was the most important part of education and acculturation. The morungs were grand buildings, constructed at the village entrance or in a spot to be effectively guarded. Beginning at puberty, young boys and girls were admitted to their respective gender dormitories. Elders conveyed the Naga culture, customs, and traditions, transmitted from generation to generation through folk music and dance, folk tales and oral tradition, wood carving and weaving, to the young while they lived in the morungs.[13] Announcements of meetings, the death of a villager, warnings of impending dangers, etc., were made from the morungs by the beating of log drums. Since adopting some modern practices, the Naga have abandoned the use of time in morungs for their youths.
Europeans were struck by the Naga practice of headhunting. Ursula Graham Bower described the Naga hills as the "paradise of headhunters."[14] "Most villages had a skull house and each man in the village was expected to contribute to the collection. The taking of a head is symbolic of courage, and men who could not were dubbed as women or cows. There is nothing more glorious for a Naga than victory in battle by bringing home the severed head of an enemy."[15] There was no indication of cannibalism among the Naga tribes. Headhunting has been eradicated since conversion to Christianity and the spread of modern education in the region.
Transformation and challenges[edit]
The continuing changes have challenged Naga society, as traditional relations between elders and the young have been upended, as well as systems of cultural transmission. The model of detached nuclear families, as distinguished from tribal villages, is becoming widespread among the Naga people as they have greater interaction with contemporary Indian society. The clan and the village have been eroded as agents of social control.
Art and crafts[edit]
The Naga tribes are expert craftsmen. Their dwellings are made of wood and straw and these are ornately carved and arranged. Each tribe has a unique way of constructing their huts. A common practice among all the tribes is decorating the entrances of their dwellings with the heads of buffaloes.
The Naga people love colour as is evident in the shawls designed and woven by women, and in the headgear that both sexes design. Clothing patterns are traditional to each tribe, and the cloth is woven by the women. They use beads with variety, profusion and complexity in their jewelry, along with a wide range of materials, including glass, shell, stone, teeth or tusk, claws, horns, metal, bone, wood, seeds, hair, and fibre.[16]
According to Dr. Verrier Elwin, these tribes made all the goods they used, as was once common in many traditional societies: "they have made their own cloth, their own hats and rain-coats; they have prepared their own medicines, their own cooking-vessels, their own substitutes for crockery.".[17] Craftwork includes the making of baskets, weaving of cloth, wood carving, pottery, metalwork, jewellery-making and bead-work.
Weaving of colorful woolen and cotton shawls is a central activity for women of all Naga tribes. One of the common features of Naga shawls is that three pieces are woven separately and stitched together. Weaving is an intricate and time consuming work and each shawl takes at least a few days to complete. Designs for shawls and wraparound garments (commonly called mekhala) are different for men and women.
Among many tribes the design of the shawl denotes the social status of the wearer. Some of the more known shawls include Tsungkotepsu and Rongsu of the Ao tribe; Sutam, Ethasu, Longpensu of the Lothas; Supong of the Sangtams, Rongkhim and Tsungrem Khim of the Yimchungers; and the Angami Lohe shawls with thick embroidered animal motifs.
Naga Jewelry is an equally important part of identity, with the entire tribe wearing similar bead jewelry.
The Indian Chamber of Commerce has filed an application seeking registration of traditional Naga shawls made in Nagaland with the Geographical Registry of India for Geographical Indication.[18]
Folk song and dances[edit]
Folk songs and dances are essential ingredients of the traditional Naga culture. The oral tradition is kept alive through the media of folk tales and songs. Naga folk songs are both romantic and historical, with songs narrating entire stories of famous ancestors and incidents. Seasonal songs describe activities done in a particular agricultural cycle. The early Western missionaries opposed the use of folk songs by Naga Christians as they were perceived to be associated with spirit worship, war and immorality. As a result, translated versions of Western hymns were introduced, leading to the slow disappearance of indigenous music from the Naga hills.[19]
Folk dances of the tribes are mostly performed in groups in synchronized fashion, by both men and women, depending on the type of dance. Dances are usually performed at festivals and religious occasions. War dances are performed mostly by men and are athletic and martial in style. All dances are accompanied by songs and war cries by the dancers. Indigenous musical instruments made and used by the people are bamboo mouth organs, cup violins, bamboo flutes, trumpets, drums made of cattle skin, and log drums.[20]

Naga identity[edit]
The word Naga is an exonym.[22] Today, it covers a number of tribes that reside in Nagaland, Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh states of India, and also in Myanmar.
Before the arrival of the British, the term "Naga" had been used in Assam to refer to certain isolated tribes. The British adopted this term for a number of tribes in the surrounding area, based on loose linguistic and cultural associations. The number of tribes classified as "Naga" increased significantly in the 20th century: as of 2006, 68 tribes are classified as Naga by the various sources. This expansion in the "Naga" identity has been due to a number of factors including the quest for upward mobility in the society of Nagaland, and the desire to establish a common purpose of resistance against dominance by other groups. Some tribes, such as some of the smaller "Old Kuki" tribes have attempted to get absored into the Naga identity to increase their political profile. Some others, such as a section of Maring, consider themselves culturally distinct. In this way, the "Naga" identity has not always been fixed.[23]
The Ethnologue uses the term "Naga" to describe 34 languages in the Kuki-Chin-Naga family.[24] The Kuki of Nagaland have been classified as "Naga" in the past, but today are generally considered a non-Naga tribe. The Kuki have had good relations with the Naga in the past, but since the 1990s, conflicts have arisen, especially in Manipur. The Naga nationalists in Manipur have made attempts to expel the Kukis from their area.

PHOENIX (AP) - A Phoenix man accused of seriously wounding two people with a meat cleaver has been sentenced to 36 years in prison.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 28-year-old Qui Tu Truong received a 21-year prison sentence for attempted first-degree murder and a consecutive 15-year term for aggravated assault.
He pleaded guilty to both charges last month.
Police say Truong was irate over being fired from a Phoenix market in May 2011. They say he went to a condominium and attacked two fellow workers - a 19-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman.
Authorities say Truong blamed the woman for his firing and attacked her first with the meat cleaver before wounding the woman's surrogate nephew.
Truong fled the condo after the attack, but was later arrested. Authorities say both victims still are recovering.

Floor to ceiling solid glass doors and screen doors retract for an open-air living experience. This previously undiscovered vista is simply impossible to capture in photographs. With confidence we can boast that you likely may not want to go anywhere during your holiday, if other than to lounge day and night on the ocean view private terrace, from where you can whale watch during winter season, star gaze at night, and otherwise be entertained by mother nature's soul-stirring and ever-changing hues of blue in both sea and sky.
Personal Concierge Service, high speed wireless internet service, tropical bath treats, as well as unlimited long distance domestic calling are just a few of the inclusive complimentary benefits provided for our esteemed guests at Wailea Paradise Villa.
Wailea sandy swimming beach is easily reached by meandering just a short distance past cascading waterfalls, emerald green planted gardens, and orange, yellow, pink and red blooming hibiscus and plumerias. From the beachfront adult pool gaze down the crescent shaped golden sands of Wailea Beach, with its deep blue water, crimson and scarlet sunsets, and powder blue skies punctuated with white cotton candy clouds.

Stopping the cross-site authentication attack
A new form of phishing attack deposits an HTML tag on the vulnerable service to trap users into authenticating.
Phishing messages should be a familiar sight to most readers. They appear to come from your bank or eBay and ask you to enter your credentials on a spoofed login page. A phishing attack uses trickery to spy on user credentials. Another method, known as cross-site scripting (XSS, as CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets), places active code on a vulnerable page. The unsuspecting user's web browser runs the code and sends the user's login data to the attacker.

During the Daytona 500, drivers were able to speak with other drivers aside from their teammates via radio communication for perhaps the first time ever.
And for AJ Allmendinger, it all got a little confusing.
"It was funny, because multiple times, I had some voice come over my radio and ask me to work with him," Allmendinger said. "I'm like, 'Who the hell are you? Who's talking to me?"
"Oh, this is David Ragan," came one response.
"Oh, OK," Allmendinger replied.
Under the next caution, another driver called Allmendinger on the radio.
"I'd be like, 'Who in the hell is this?'" Allmendinger said.
"Oh, it's Carl. Do you want to work together?" the voice replied.
"I'm like, 'How to you keep getting my radio channel? Leave me alone!'" Allmendinger said with a laugh. "I mean, it was strange."
Allmendinger clearly worked well with others, though – he finished 11th in the Daytona 500.

- good food;portions paltryshark321Dined on 8/23/2014We went for Miami Spice. I do recognize this is an opportunity for restaurants to showcase their best dishes, and they need to be profitable, but the size of the portions were ridiculous. Dinner portions were appetizer size, so in the end, it was not a good value.Special Features:
- Pleasantly Surprised!'ilsaairVIPDined on 8/19/2014Since News Cafe left this location a long time ago I've avoided the replacement restaurants that seemed to come and go. TK's is the real deal. The entire restaurant was empty when we visited so it was eerily quiet. Service was very good and the food was inventive and tasty. This is a great place to bring your dog - there is a huge outdoor covered patio. I truly hope this place catches on since the Grove is sorely in need of decent places to eat. We'll be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mariagonzaVIPDined on 8/16/2014The restaurant its so beutiful the service was amazing we went for lunch and was delicius and that place its great with you puppySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic BrunchMegsVIPDined on 8/16/2014Brought my family here for a boozy brunch and everyone loved it. $15 bottomless mimosas. Coconut banana mojito is to die for!! Pancakes, french toast and omeletes were all magnificent. Great service, great atmosphere, REALLY GREAT place. I'll be back :)Special Features:
- The BEST!MegsVIPDined on 8/9/2014Spectacular menus for brunch, sweets, dinner.. even a separate mojito menu! Food and drinks are perfectly prepared. Service was marvelous. Romantic indoor dining and comfy casual outdoor dining. Really, this is one of the true gems that the grove (and miami) has to offer. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- Over all goodnancykarinaDined on 8/2/2014The service was great. My pear Gorgonzola ravioli was amazing!! The chicken and veal needed a bit more of flavoring, it was a bit bland but both were very juicy and moist. The desserts were very creative and artistic. Over all, we had a great experience.Special Features:
- Bad scallopsHungerHighDined on 8/2/2014Inconsistent. Worst of all, bay scallops smelled of formaldehyde. They were not surprised, someone else had complained earlier that week. And yet they sent them out again, and, did not offer any compensation for an inedible, potentially hazardous dish.Special Features:
- BettyVIPDined on 7/23/2014Location during the week shows little movement food was very good and also service great small platesSpecial Features:
- Best food in the Grove!joaneDined on 7/23/2014Great food and service with an amazing atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceFoodlvrDined on 6/13/2014Had our anniversary dinner here and it was perfect. Friendly staff, great food and the restaurant was very comfortable. My wife loved the couches.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Happy Hour DealsNYCSteelergalDined on 6/7/2014Nice atmosphere. Laid-back, friendly, and helpful staff. My boyfriend and I have passed this place dozens of times (although it's had different names) and never went in, but I'm glad we decided to go there. The food was good and the happy hours prices were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome food and serviceSamehDined on 6/5/2014Creative and delicious kitchen and outstanding service. The price is a bit on the plus side, but well worth it if you can take advantage of the promosSpecial Features:
- nice mealLaraVIPDined on 5/15/2014enjoyed the meal - particularly the jambalaya. Shame they were out of the brussel sprouts and baconSpecial Features:
- Best Mojito evermarlaVIPDined on 5/14/2014Bar tender poured a great cocktail. And really heavy on the pour. Food was great. Recommendations from Heidi were spot on. Only drawback was a family with a few toddlers running all over the place with little to no supervision. Didn't seem appropriate for 9pm at night. They were done eating but stayed for hours after.Special Features:
- Breakfast at TK'sYulandBrendaDined on 5/10/2014Great way to start your Saturday morning, we ate at around 9:30AM, then walked to the Fresh Farmers Market, walked around the historical sites, and it was just a pleasant way to start our week-end.Special Features:
- The following 122 reviews are from the TK's at the Villa Mayfair reviews archive.
- In the Grovegrfg8rDined on 5/2/2014Nice, romantic atmosphere. Food was excellent. Not for yard apes! Bar stayed open late. Music was awesome!Special Features:
- Best resto in the Grove.roger313131VIPDined on 4/25/2014Well stocked bar, knowledgeable barmen, cool tunes and vibe. Pretty decor, nice atmosphere. The food is great, well prepared and presented. Had the arepa app, "wow" is all I can say. Everything else, from the ribs to the seafood options, is terrific. A must in the Miami dining rotation. Easily the best dining option in the Grove!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gem in the GrovePamelaVIPDined on 4/9/2014Absolutely loved this place. Wonderful ambience in a neighborhood setting. Great food options from healthy kale and grilled shrimp salad to a killer burger with fabulous fries. Cheerful attentive service, laid back artsy environment, Great prices. We will be back !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is fair to middlingPamelaDined on 3/21/2014Although the ambiance is very good and the service excellent, the food was over-priced and was average. In Coconut Grove, I expect superior taste and quality in the food I consume. This is not the case at Timos. I ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara. The spaghetti was not cooked Al Dente and was sticky. The dish was actually devoid of flavor and tasted almost "cardboardy". My fiance ordered the lamb chops and mashed potatoes and asparagus. He said the meal was tasty, after he had to add his own spices, but too over priced for the quality. The lamb was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were lifeless and tasteless and the asparagus was over cooked. We will not be dining there again.
- Average eclectic menuSusanDined on 3/12/2014Timos is a beautiful restaurant on a quiet Grove street. Unfortunately, the management got confused when creating the menu. There's too many types of cuisines offered. The food is just average. The fish and main dishes are too expensive.Special Features:
- Timo's is Gr8 AGAIN!1DivaVIPDined on 2/18/2014My brother and I had a wonderful lunch at Timo's. This restaurant is located near the Mayfair Hotel,--- in Coconut Grove. The food was SUPERB. The service of our waitress, Heidi, was SPECTACULAR. The décor created an elegant and serene ambiance. The piped-in music enhanced the whole dining experience. This is the place to go for lunch and/or dinner. It is a GEM!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding FindBertCarDined on 2/14/2014We were looking over various locations to have dinner on Valentines evening and came across a couple reviews for this restaurant. We liked what we saw and decided to take a chance. Well, we were very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere and overall dining experience was well worth the drive for us. It was a very enjoyable night we will forever remember. Our server was excellent. The food was well presented and very tasty. The prices were moderate and the selection was varied. Never felt rushed by the servers and always a very pleasant tone from each and every employee at the restaurant. We definitely plan on returning soon and highly recommend this place to anyone on the fence and undecided. You won't regret it. BertSpecial Features:
- Great food had the schezuanOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/14/2014Great food had the schezuan chicken. Wish they had a little more variety....but over all great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- so great!NanyVIPDined on 2/12/2014Love the food...it is just spectacular. And now, there's a new staff member (a server named Andrea...she is the epitome of friendliness and professionalism. One of Rusty's greatest loss, Timo's GREATEST gain!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Timo's at the Mayfair is TOPS!!1DivaVIPDined on 2/11/2014I had lunch today at Timo's. The décor is serene, elegant and a wonderful setting, for a delicious lunch and/or dinner. I was greeted by Olaf, their friendly and gracious manager. My waitress, Roxana, was SUPERB. She was attention and eager to please. I had the Greek Salad and the Turkey Club. They were both OUTSTANDING. The coffee served,-- is very flavorful and delicious. When I accidentally spilled my coffee-- Roxana, my waitress, and Erick the bus boy, cleaned up MY MESS in a few moments, and were both very gracious, in that process. Timo's is a GEM of a restaurant. I am going back with my brother next week---because it is THAT EXCELLENT. It is set in the Mayfair Hotel in Coconut Grove, and is TRULY a first class restaurant!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date Night ApprovedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 1/31/2014My boyfriend and I decided went on a Friday night and it was quiet, since it is a little outside of the noise in the Grove - and we prefer it that way! It was not busy, so we kind of felt like the only people (we weren't) and we liked it. The service was great, everyone was very attentive. The food was fantastic! Definitely recommend the heirloom crostini as an appetizer- very good!! And for dessert - Pistachio Tres Leche?! Had to try it and I'm glad I did it! It was a good experience, definitely would love to go again.Special Features:
- Never a disappointment!JmartVIPDined on 1/31/2014Always enjoy relaxing here with the tuna tartare to start and the scallops are a must try. As a side, I recommend the bacon and brie tater tots, trust me you will enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I have dined at Timo's severalfoodaficionad0VIPDined on 1/28/2014I have dined at Timo's several times, their food seems better each time I visit! Highly recommend you try them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Ribeye!!!latenightdinerDined on 1/24/2014We tried Timo's with a Groupon. The braised short rib was succulent and fall of the bone tender. The cowboy ribeye was cooked to perfection. Dessert took us to a new level. We thoroughly enjoyed our night at Timo's. The staff was very attentive and polite. The food was fantastic. We will definitely be coming back for seconds.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always the bestJmartVIPDined on 1/24/2014We love this place; it is our go-to when we juts want to relax and eat our favorite foodsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Ambience/Great Food/Hefty BillJorgeShickenDined on 1/22/2014The restaurant is beautiful. It has a lounge feel with unexpectedly hip music setting the ambience. Our server was stellar. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered her recommendations. We were 2 adults and a toddler and the server was very accommodating, being very attentive to the needs of our child while still taking care of us. Except for the kale salad and the desserts, the food was excellent. We enjoyed the tartare, the seabass, and the lambchops - which were all stellar dishes. The asparagus was divine. All in all, the food was very good. But be warned, it is also very expensive. Without buying any beverages, we spent nearly $200 on the bill.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food but not inexpensiveBertieDined on 1/17/2014The meal for four, including taxes and tip was $318.00. That included 2 alcoholic drinks, 3 sodas, 2 double expressos, 1 cappuccino, 4 entrees, 4 appetizers, 1 side vegetable dish and 4 deserts. The food was excellent. The ambiance was lovely. The service was excellent. An 18% tip was automatically included. Would highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 1/15/2014First time here and we loved it. The food was great, everything we order was very good (specially the bone in ribeye). Our server was excellent and made our meal very enjoyable! I loved the spacing of the tables there is plenty of space between them. We will definitely come again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, perfect cook!AalfonsoDined on 1/9/2014This was my second visit, and I had a great time the first time and was a little worry that it wouldn't be the same. It was! I brought some great friends of mine, we had the same table and server as before, by the way she is very nice and knows about the food and specials, the wine... All the food, every single plate was very good quality, taste, cook just right as ordered, and we all had something different, so I can't say that I have something specific to recommend, because everything from the fish, chicken, meat to the seafood was perfect. It's a little expensive, but not unexpected for the place and food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Best in the GroveOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 12/20/2013Timo's is the sort of place you are torn about promoting because you don't want crowds to ruin it, but you want to make sure it gets enough attention to stay in business. Great decor, great food, big space, charming front terrace, warm people, sophisticated but relaxed. Excellent place and stands head and shoulders above most of its Grove competition.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Guanajuato is at the center of Colonial Mexican History. It is a 450 year old city rich in history, art, renaissance energy and old world urban landscape. There are no beaches here, but there is an opportunity to discover an America that you just might want to be part of. It is a conservative culture but the overwhelmingly youthful population hums with optimism and pride of place and it seems that there is a festival going on all the time!
-Local bus is very close and service within town is excellent (only 5 pesos!).
-Great inexpensive daytrips on modern buses to nearby towns (eg. San Miguel de Allende, Dolores Hidalgo) add to the adventure.

Learning to turn and turning to learn.
My total involvement in woodworking growing up was cleaning us after my father made something, and putting stuff back where it belongs. That is why my shop is mostly composed by piles, but I know what is in every pile.
Use to ride Bicycles on Centuries 100 Miles at a time, but when I could not even keep up with my buddies girlfriends any more, I gave it up for a while. Of course the buddies and their girlfriends were both young enough to be my grandkids, still did not set with my ego. The wife also suggested that maybe it might be nice if I was home a little more not on the road for 20 to 30 hours a week.
I use to throw pottery, but got frustrated when taking the pot off the wheel was the first of many steps that HAD to be done. I like spinning stuff so the lathe was a great replacement, now when I take something off the machine is can be finished if I want to say so.
One of these days I will get a box with a lid that fits right, this is my current goal.
-- Trying to find an answer to my son's question: "…and forming organic cellulose by spinning it on its axis is interesting, why?"

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

Hi Cliff,
Clever. The only way for you to put that together was to have read the description of the Camper table/arm rest project. Thanks for the comment.

PUSD footing the bill for WASC at the Rose Hotel?
Original post made by Hmmmm... on Oct 26, 2012

Another post criticizing PUSD....aren't these getting old?

Here is the fee sheet for WASC: Web Link It's not clear the hotel fees are additional. I would suggest a call to the school or district for a definitive answer.
These accreditations are important; certainly far more important than Blue Ribbon Schools and Distinguished Schools awards.

I get so tired of hearing about the importannce of all these accreditions. Do we have to do them all? No. I am longing to see national standards for all schools in america, and the schools rank will be based on where they fall on the mational standards scale. That way you are comparing applea to apples and you can determine when moving if your new schools match up with your prior school.
I do not believe the district should be fooring the bill for the Rose hotel.

Cell Phones and Gadgets From MTV's The City
The City Roundup Tech Quiz
Wondering where this week's tech quiz is for The City? Unfortunately, this geek couldn't spot the tech toys or hear the tech talk — because there was hardly any of either! So I decided to give you your fix anyways by whipping up some tech questions from previous episodes. A great way to refresh yourself on who has what cell phone, and you can get your tv tech fill.

Sample Report
Practically everyone I know was dumped, cheated on or forced to break up with the un-dateable this summer. In June, my lover dumped me at a wedding in the Catskills. Heartbroken, I wandered off in the dark, fell in a ditch and busted my tailbone.
