Today's Reading(s)
1 Timothy 2:1-7
1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, 2 for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God
and one mediator between God and humanity,
Christ Jesus, Himself human,
6 who gave Himself—a ransom for all,
a testimony at the proper time.
7 For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle (I am telling the truth; I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Today's Reflection
Key Verse(s)
First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
—1 Timothy 2:1-4
Praying for Peace
There are two very different but equally appropriate ways to understand Paul's words to Timothy in this passage.
First, we can see it as an exhortation mirroring part of our Lord's Prayer: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." From this view, we are urged to pray for everyone—and especially all earthly authorities—so that His will might be established in every aspect of human relationship and activity.
What is God's will? It is that all be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. It is precisely for this reason that Jesus "gave Himself—a ransom for all" (verse 6). The provision for perfection, both for individuals and for the human race, has been sufficiently and completely offered. When we pray with this vision firmly grasped in our minds and spirits, we will be praying in unity with the heart of God Himself.
But of course, many of us who read this passage cannot help but be disturbed by the reality that if we offer prayers—and thanksgivings—for all who are presently in authority in the various corners of our world, it is hard to see the connection between their prospering and our own. Too often modern authorities, like the Roman authorities in Paul's day, do not serve to enhance the tranquility and quiet living of authentic followers of Christ.
Does Paul's call to prayer apply only to a theoretical world that many of us will never enjoy? Here is where I think a second meaning is to be found, one that is available to all of us no matter what political powers prevail.
In Paul's letter to the Romans he reminds them, "Everyone must submit to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are instituted by God" (Romans 13:1). Years earlier, Solomon understood the same thing. "The king's heart is a water channel in the Lord's hand: He directs it wherever He chooses" (Proverbs 21:1). Jesus Himself told Pilate, "You would have no authority over Me at all...if it hadn't been given you from above."
How do these realities affect our prayers? Quite simply, if we truly understand and believe in the absolute sovereignty of God over every aspect of our earthly existence, including those authorities who often impact so many components of our daily lives, our prayers will become an exercise of ever-increasing trust.
As the voice of our spirit (which is the true source of authentic prayer) draws our minds into a realization that God's hand is upon every circumstance of history, and furthermore that He can be trusted to direct those circumstances for our good (Romans 8:28), the result is that we WILL live lives that are peaceful and tranquil with all godliness and dignity.
You see, peace and tranquility in this sense have nothing to do with our external environment. We tend to think that peace results when stresses are removed. But in John 14:27 Jesus tells the disciples that His peace is very different from the peace the world offers. It's a peace untouched by circumstances or stresses, a peace that comes from a childlike assurance that our Father has all matters of our life held firmly in His hands.
And the result of praying with this assurance is not only inner tranquility, but outward "godliness and dignity." The word dignity is semnotes, which might be better translated as honesty, gravity, soberness or integrity. It is the tangible manifestation of our confidence that God is wise, good and powerful, and that our lives should properly be lived only in response to who He is, not in response to the chaos that surrounds us.
When we live life in this manner, Paul says, we please God. That's huge! That should be our greatest joy above all other joys. But there is more implied. When we live lives that radiate peace and godliness, then God's kingdom will be advanced, as others see His work in us and are themselves brought to salvation and to the knowledge of the truth.
Reflection Questions
- Paul opens his letter to Timothy with a warning against false teachings, and encourages Timothy to see himself as being engaged in a battle (1 Timothy 1:18). Why do you think he makes prayer the "first of all" step to take? Reading further in this letter, what other forms of obedience also help to oppose false teachings and promote "faith and a good conscience" (I Timothy 1:19)?
- A.B. Simpson once described prayer this way: "As I listened, it became to me the voice of prayer, the voice of wisdom, the voice of duty, and I did not need to think so hard, or pray so hard, or trust so hard; but that 'still small voice' of the Holy Spirit in my heart was God's prayer in my secret soul, was God's answer to all my questions, was God's life and strength for soul and body, and became the substance of all knowledge, and all prayer and all blessing: for it was the living GOD Himself as my life, my all." What is gained when we realize that effectual prayer is not so much words spoken from ourselves to God, but rather words spoken from God through us back to Himself?
- Verse 4 speaks of coming to "the knowledge of the truth." In 2 Thessalonians 2:10 Paul warns that people in the end times will perish "because they did not accept the love of the truth in order to be saved." Paul is speaking of a very specific truth that is received as a gift from God both in our heads (knowledge) and our hearts (love). Read 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 to see why people might refuse this gift, and also what God will do to those who reject it.

The action starts as a character named Razzle, while cleaning the library, accidentally knocks some old books into a Portal. These books tumble down to the 'Island of Gorm' where a never ending battle is going on between vast armies inspired by the elemental forces of nature. The books eventually land at the feet of Magmion, the evil Lava Gormiti. Magmion reads the book and learns of an old legend which talks about reuniting five sacred amulets which have been scattered across Gorm. Once reunited these amulets allow the holder to open an inter-dimensional portal to Earth! The Lords of Nature need to use all their unique powers to hinder Magmion's plans and save Earth. The game recreates the beautifully illustrated island of Gorm, where the Lords of Earth, Sea, Air and Forest are charged with stopping the evil Magmion from wreaking havoc.… Expand

Every year, thousands of "new" cars emerge from their owner's garage, remade. They all represent the passion and vision of the builder. Some are reconstructions of a youthful memory-cruising the drive-in during high school or your best friend's car. The car that you couldn't afford at the time, but always wanted. Some are literal recreations of your first hot rod. Others push the boundaries of what is currently being done-radical changes in the way a car is built or performs. More power. A new level of custom bodywork.
But very few of them fit in the category of the car shown here. These types of cars change the way people aspire to build their cars for years to come. They literally change the face of our hobby forever. Cars in this league that came before include the Mustang II that Jack Roush built for Joe Rugirello, the Stone/Woods/Cook Willys, Pete Chapouris' Limefire '32 roadster, Billy Gibbon's CadZZilla, Troy Trepanier's '60 Chevy, and Danny Scott's '67 Camaro. These were cars that influenced people for decades to come and, in fact, still do today.
The '67 Camaro you see on these pages is made of that same substance. If you didn't know the car's history, you'd think it was a pretty cool car. But this car was built 14 years ago. To help adjust your calendar, Clinton was in office with Lewinsky! Mark Stielow had built a brilliant '69 Camaro with combined handling and braking capability in a ponycar that hadn't seen that kind of effort since Dick Guldstrand messed with the platform in the early '70s. With lessons learned from Mark's first Camaro, he set out to build a car that pushed the performance limits of what you could do with a muscle car while still maintaining all that makes that car cool in the first place. Specifically, he wanted to build a muscle car to compete in the One Lap of America competition. The Red Witch was born.
Mark got the '67 Camaro from veteran magazine editor, Jeff Smith. It was a pretty clean Camaro from California with a 396. Jeff had long evangelized his concept of a 3g muscle car: vintage iron that could pull 1 g in acceleration, corner, and brake hard. The concept would become Pro Touring and spawn the g-Machines genre-and Mark and Jeff were of one mind on this topic.
Along with some improvements in the front suspension geometry, Mark wanted the car to ride on Corvette ZR-1 wheels and tires. Seventeen-inch wheels are no big thing now, but they were unheard of on a first-generation Camaro in 1996. Owners of these cars will also remind you that fitting meats like these is a nightmare, between sheetmetal interference, proper ride height, wheel backspacing, and so on. Not to mention that Mark wanted the car to perform on these tires, not just sit on them.
Mark stripped the car down to a shell. He had Shadowoods install the cage, and that's also where he and Kyle Tucker cut the rear of the car apart to install mini-tubs to clear the massive 315/35R17s. Fitting it all together meant fabricating wheel tubs, a custom Currie 9-inch housing, Landrum drag racing leaf springs, and Koni shocks. When it came to the front, Mark applied things learned from his '69 Camaro. He had figured out how to machine a set of Corvette spindles and use them with the factory lower control arms. He went a step further on this front suspension by fitting the system with coilovers and a set of tubular upper control arms. There's no coincidence that Kyle now sells all of these components through Detroit Speed and Engineering (DSE).
For the exterior, Mark left the factory lines and proportions alone. This type of car wasn't about stretched sheetmetal, or even flush-mount glass. It was about road race performance in a street-driveable muscle car. The front bumper was deleted, which gives '67-68 Camaros a clean look. The rest of the body is just the way it was originally designed.
A similar theme was applied to the interior. For competition, a full cage was required, as were five-point harnesses. The seats were upgraded to Recaros to keep the driver and passenger as planted as the Camaro would be on the road course. A factory steering column wears a Grant wheel. The original metal dash houses Auto Meter carbon-fiber Ultra-Lite gauges. A Pioneer tape deck sits in the factory radio location. Finally, a vague shifter pokes up through a factory-looking rubber boot on the transmission hump. Only people who know manual trannies really well will recognize the reverse lockout ring under the shifter knob, marking the trans as a '90s Corvette ZF six-speed. You might describe the interior as nondescript, but even this sets the tone for Pro Touring: monster gauges mounted in a way that preserves the classy '60s dash, high-quality racing seats, a cage that intrudes as little as possible on the passenger space, a distinct lack of billet, and nothing is changed for change's sake.
Mark originally built an all-aluminum splayed-valve engine designed by GM for an ISMA race program. The engine displaced 396 ci and used an ACCEL fuel-injection system. Don't bother looking for it in the engine photos; we'll come back to the engine shortly.
Remember when we said that Mark built this car to compete in One Lap? He let the car off the jackstands at 5 a.m. the day before the competition. After a testdrive up and down the street, he and codriver Lance Mallet (who also did plenty of the fabrication and paintwork on the car) loaded their stuff into the car and hit the road for the 350-mile trip to Elkhart Lake in Wisconsin for the start of the race. Mark tuned the EFI on the way, and they burnished in the brakes. Ironically, with a car that would become so important to the sport, it didn't do well at all in the One Lap competition. They were plagued with mechanical problems. But that didn't stop Hot Rod magazine from naming it their Car of the Year in 1996.
With most cars, once it's complete, the story is more or less over. But this one was just reaching halftime. Shortly after the car was built, Mark started work on the next Camaro: an LS9-powered '69 named Jackass. When that car was complete, the Red Witch was just going to sit, so he decided to sell it. The car changed hands, and the car's story, and influence, continued. Charley Lillard bought the car from owner number two off eBay. What Mark did by building the car and getting recognition for competing in One Lap, capturing magazine covers and awards, Charley matched by driving the car, everywhere. He did Hot Rod's Power Tour in 2001 and 2003. The car was being driven across the country, to events and just about anywhere else Charley and his wife, Shirley, felt like. The splayed-valve engine was gone, and a 532 big-block was now powering the car.
In 2005, the car had accumulated more than 20,000 miles in its current form. Charley decided it was time to freshen it up and tidy up some things. After all, the car was built in a thrash for a competition, and some things could definitely use a little attention. He decided to ship the car to the Detroit area and have Mark lend a hand in overseeing the makeover.
Kurt Urban at the now-defunct Wheel to Wheel, tossed a stroker crank in the 523 to grow the displacement to 565. Urban really wanted to change the cylinder heads and make some other changes to modernize the engine, but Charley wanted to stay true to the way the car was built. The ACCEL EFI was replaced with a Big Stuff 3 system, including a custom sheetmetal intake.
Stenod Performance built a set of stainless steel headers and wired the car using a Painless kit. A set of production DSE upper control arms were installed with one of their coilover kits. The car was repainted, and a custom carbon-fiber hood was added. The original fuel cell was also replaced with a stainless fuel tank from Rick's Tanks. The car was wrapped up in time for Charley to do the Power Tour in 2007. He ran his last Power Tour in the car in 2008.
This car also started a pattern of Charley buying Mark's projects. He purchased Jackass, as well as the next Camaro, PHR project car, the Mule, after Mark was done with them. While he still owns these two cars, he sold the Red Witch to Mike Jenkins at the Barrett-Jackson auction in cottsdale, Arizona, in January. So the car starts a new chapter with a new owner after writing the book for the Pro Touring genre of cars.

Confessions of a Serial Kisserby Wendelin Van Draanen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
EVANGELINE LOGAN WANTS a kiss. A spectacular, heart-stopping, life changing kiss. Somehow The Crimson Kiss (a romance novel shes become obsessed with) and Four Steps to Living Your Fantasy (a self-help book shes reading) have fused in Evangelines mind and sent her on a quest for a kiss. But the path to perfection is paved with many bad kisses—the smash mouth, the ear licker, the "misser." The phrase "I dont kiss and tell" means nothing to the boys in her school. And worse: someone starts writing her name and number on bathroom walls. And worst of all: the boy she's just kissed turns out to be her best friends new crush. Kissing turns out to be way more complicated than the romance novels would have you believe . . .
From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
Wendelin Van Draanen has been everything from a forklift driver to a high school teacher, but is now enjoying life as a full-time writer. She lives in central California with her husband and their two sons.

Once is a low-budget Irish movie about two musicians (Glen Hansard of The Frames and collaborator Mark�ta Irglov�) who meet by chance and develop a relationship while writing and recording songs together. The film was made for �130,000 ($160,000 USD) and received significant critical acclaim for both its understated romance and for its music (no surprise, since Hansard and Irglov� are professional musicians, not actors). The song "Falling Slowly" won the Academy Award for Best Song.Almost missed its Oscar due to the fact that parts of the soundtrack, including the winning song, were released on other albums by the same artists prior to the film being released. It was decided to give them their nomination (and inevitable award) anyway since though it technically broke the rules, the film had been in the can over two years by the time it was released, and Oscar glory had been completely outside their expectations. But let it be understood on no uncertain terms, this was far and away the favorite song of the year.At 19, Irglov� is the youngest person ever to win the Best Song Oscar.Before, during and after the release of the movie Hansard and Irglova have performed as The Swell Season and have released two albums under that name, 2006's The Swell Season (containing many of the songs in Once recorded during the long time it took to get the film made) and 2009's Strict Joy (featuring songs about the end of Hansard and Irglova's real romantic relationship). Both were extremely critically acclaimed upon release.The film was adapted into a stage musical in early 2012, and holds the distinction of being the first musical ever to have a Broadway run scheduled before it had even opened Off-Broadway. The show opened on March 18 to fantastic reviews, with most critics praising it for keeping to the spirit of the film while making the proper changes to make it work on-stage. It won eight Tony Awards out of eleven nominations, including Best Actor In A Leading Role (Steve Kazee), Best Book, and Best Musical. A US Touring production was announced and the show opened in Dublin, and later, the West End in 2013.

How to delete hiberfil.sys from a non-system drive?
I have two drives, C and D. D used to be an OS drive in another computer, and I just use it now as a 2nd drive to store some extra stuff. So yes, the Prog Files folder is there, the Windows folder is there....
Anyway, is it possible to somehow delete hiberfil.sys off of the D drive? That is, without physically removing the drive, and using it in an enclosure.

Hello Jason, and welcome to Seven Forums.
If you just wanted to use the D: drive for data and didn't care about losing the OS on it, then you could move any files that you still want to keep from D to C temporarily, format D, copy back the data to D, and be good to go with a lot more free space as well.
Otherwise, you could use the free program Unlocker to delete the hidden protected OS D:\hiberfil.sys file if you were not able to just delete it normally.
Hope this helps,

Cheese (West LA and Northwest suburbs)
Surfas in Culver City, VERY convenient for me, have a decent selection and they do sample.
I do think (for meats) the pricing was better at Whole Foods and quality too when WF had the big Creminelli that they would sell by the slice. A year or so ago they had 4-5 varieties of that in WLA, but haven't seen it available for some time. Mmmmm... sliced meat!
Surfas also has bread - both fresh baked/heated and also frozen, which at home after 1/2 hour is really great all considered.

Ipsedixit Was Right--Visit To New Port Seafood Beverly Hills
Thanks for pointing this new-to-the-westside spot out! I went with the family on Sunday afternoon. We loved it, and lunch specials are definitely a great deal.
We had ma-po tofu (made with chicken, not pork) that we asked them to make on the milder side, beef with chinese broccoli, salt and pepper pork chop, and kung pao chicken. All off of the lunch special menu, which has about 12 items total. Kung pao chicken was a standout, as was the salt and pepper porkchop, though I would have them spice up the porkchop more next time. They may have gone light given we were a family and already asked them to go light on the heat for the ma po. Sauce on ma po was good, nice garlic flavor that each of us was dumping on the rice.
Small bowls of hot and sour soup to start weregood, not earthshattering, but fine for what they were.
Specialty is clearly shellfish and whole fish, either fried or steamed, which other tables seemed to really be enjoying. One bigger group (6 people) and a number of smaller groups were in the room while we were there. Room definitely half full, and they have a patio too. Great, friendly service.
Given the quality and taste in the lunch specials we had, this is now definitely the best "overall" Chinese for me on the westside, with ROC being best for dumplings and 101 Noodle for beef rolls. I'm betting dinner and specialties are even better.
As to the subject of the thread, I actually think if they can get word of mouth and not too many screwy yelpers (as opposed to more seasoned, reasonable yelpers) they can do well here.
This is definitely worth a visit by folks on this board. Let's skew this toward the "party of reason".
Sep 22, 2014CulverJack in Los Angeles Area
Who do you follow on the Los Angeles board, and why?
Just to briefly chime in - I miss ChinoWayne too. Though I thought he did post now and again, but stopped chowing as often.
Also, that's where I co-opted (stole!) my handle (username). I like that his gave us all a sense of place about him. I imagined he was from... Chino! Not sure if that is the case, or if it meant something else... But hence my own handle.

Wow - lots of debate on exactly what this dish means since my reply.
Interesting - I think the actual act of having this dish in Italy while on vacation with someone you love (or alone, hell) IN ITALY likely trumps all items (kind, origin or color of said cow, olive wood from some ancestral olive orchard harvested in light fog, impaled on a foil by the guy from The Princess Bride, etc) in what most would remember to be "GREAT" about any meal there IN ITALY, but I digress. I think you can get pretty close in so cal if you talk to the right folks, so kudos to you for posting. The right folks are certainly here.
At Bucato, I didn't see the details of the prep, as we were at a table away from the action. But I believe they did somehow grill this over wood, as I saw them cleaning up a pile of ashes off of their flattop grill (!!) and I gathered this was for our dish. I may have asked about it as we left, but it was a long wine night and I don't recall. It WAS served with a lemony arugula salad and it was well seasoned but simply, it was very tender and perfectly med rare and it was very, very good.
I wasn't expecting much since the emphasis is on pasta there and I didn't love the porchetta prep when I last dined with them. That's why it stuck for me as a remarkable dish.
As they are very purist and serious about their pasta prep, you should look into how they are doing their bistecca. Give them a call. It wouldn't surprise me if they were more toward the legit side than not.
Feb 12, 2014CulverJack in Los Angeles Area
I had a really, really fantastic version at Bucato. Been meaning to post on my follow up visit to Bucato, but haven't made the time. Found the beef in particular to be super good.

That chinese restaurant is now open in the CC mall (calling the chinese food gurus)
Nicely done!! Thanks for that clean copy. It's about what I feared. Will try it soon for the convenience factor. The $$$ will sting more than the chiles if it isn't very good, though.

Good Westside Chinese restaurant open on Christmas Day
2 on Sawtelle -
Hong Kong Cafe was good for us last year, everybody was happy. Went thanks to a rec on this board, and it delivered. As I recall maybe a 15 min wait for 4.
ROC is also very good for dumplings and other dishes, but I'm not sure they'll be open. You should probably call first.
Have fun and report back.
Dec 24, 2013CulverJack in Los Angeles Area
Was there last night as well. All of the comments below sum it up very well. Portions a bit too small for the $$$. I have confidence they will adjust. I wouldn't mind paying $10 more on the bill to leave happier (e.g. More satiated). That's what we leave the house for, right?
Best dish of the night for me was strascinati, a thicker dumpling like shell, rich with pork and well put together. This hit on all level of rich and salt and silk and was what I was expecting from the chef. Burrata with figs was great, but hard to mess that up when you have good ingredients. Porchetta was 70% fatty with dense meaty parts, didn't work so well for me but I may not get what he's going for there. Son liked octopus since that's how he rolls, and desserts fine but not wow for us. $180 total for 2 adults and a kidlet. That speaks volumes, I'd say.
This is my fave food area of the moment, and I was, frankly, expecting more. I hope Evan is reading this or at least has people he trusts that are saying the same. All the pieces are there. Decor is great, interior bright and not loud at all, beautiful front patio. Servers all. Very warm and helpful, a bit of scurrying as they figure things out, but that will settle down. I have some faith, I think they'll adjust. The hounds once again have it right, just wanted to add my 1 cent. I had 2, but after last night I'm now down to 1. And next time I don't want to run into any other tables at Coolhaus.

Just saw this. I'm excited an will give it a go. Do they have the southern menu?

Traci Des Jardins's Carnitas Tacos
I would guess the tortilla chips are pretty much for eating. That's what I tend to do w/them.
I typically blanch or roast the tomatillos first, too, and add lime to add another dimension.

Any great Thai / Indian restaurants in the Westside?
You make some very good points m3. Excellent in either category just isn't here. For Thai, you can get good (to my tastes Thai Boom and Ekkamai), known well on this board, or nice and trendy (Chan Dara) with passable food but not excellent. I looked at Si Laa and put it in the same trendy but unremarkable category, BTW, but we'll give it a try now based on your rec. On the Asian front more generally though, not so much Thai, there are def some interesting things happening now. I've had excellent at both Lukshon and at Red Medicine, and they are both pretty consistent. Definitely $$$, but at least interesting and consistent, and I think there's value in that.
For Indian, much the same, no question. In my mind, and I'm sure it's been stated 58 times on this board, just not enough ethnic density (or those who care like we do) to warrant anything different. I noticed though that Lawrence of India looks like its changed over to Mama's Indian Kitchen, so "that may be that". I really liked Lawrence too, that was our goto. But as Servorg recs, Zam Zam is not to be missed. Ethereal Biryani and Chicken Tikka. Limited, and funky, but it seriously rocks. And pound for pound the best ethic value for miles.
Other than those few, if you care, you drive. If you know your routes, Thai Town is generally 1/2 hour. Unless you're in deep SM, in which case all bets are off. Move to Culver City, we'd love to have you. And you'd be that much closer to Zam Zam.
Apr 20, 2013CulverJack in Los Angeles Area
Anyone been? Interesting menu, covers a lot of bases, how is the food and overall experience?
Feb 10, 2013CulverJack in Los Angeles Area
Been twice in the last week. Two days to finish the take each time.
This place is not a "well, if I'm nearby..." or "maybe I should try this someday"
If you read this board, and you care about what hits your tongue, you WILL RUN here. The Biryani is revelatory. There are angels in it, And I know, cause I heard the harp. Spices are excellent, not overly so, but very deft. With everything you eat, you get the sense that these chefs know what they are doing.
this is not a shoulda, but a GOTTA. Eat whatever they have.

Alma - Surprising Find Downtown
I agree - Alma is definitely worth visiting for hound types. They are doing very inventive interesting things. I've been twice and really liked it both times. I found the chef when he was at the SM wine bar Salute and really dug the food, then at his pop up when it was in Venice.
They are truly now rolling their own in a funky downtown spot, and given how interesting the food is, I really like the idea of supporting this place. You get the true sense you are supporting the little guy here, and its well worth the trek downtown.
I would say the place may not be for everyone - as Lil mikey found, it's a smallish kitchen staff and sometimes courses can take a while, so if this is an issue for you beware ( I'm fine with it, particularly when I have byob in the mix). It's not a spot where you will find a huge standard menu with ahi tartare. And the food is inventive and always changing, so there will occasionally be some misses. But to me there are way more hits than misses, and I appreciate what Chef Ari is doing here more than I appreciate Ludo, for example. It feels like something special.
Thanks mikey, great review.

Any One Been to Ugo in Culver City Lately?
For me, Ugo fills a niche for gelato, or espresso, or LCD (least common denominator) Italian if I happen to be walking by, sort of like a beetle caught in a web, I guess. All good for those things, but the only thing I have found al dente at Ugo are the plastic gelato shovels.
Brunello does all of those things you like (good Italian, al dente pasta) consistently.
You should, though, consider having whatever pasta they are doing at Waterloo and City. The last 3-4 I've had have been just great. Not downtown CC, but really worth noting.
Sep 30, 2012CulverJack in Los Angeles Area
It's true - the options are really limitless. Ok, not REALLY limitless, but there are many. Really limitless would be like outer space, not Culver City.
But CC used to be limited to Tito's for tacos of questionable origin ("is that beef?" "I'm not sure but it's pretty good") or Johnnies for not grat pastrami. On a good day, maybe down to Woody's smorgasburger for build your own sundae.
I love living in the future!
Sep 30, 2012CulverJack in Los Angeles Area
I can see what you mean, though to me I'd call it better than average, more like "good" or "solid". I like the room a lot, and service has always been very good. I find it more consistent than Ford's next door, but preferred Fraiche way over both of these until maybe a few months after Travi left. then Akasha took that spot for me in the higher end CC restaurants. I'm hopeful, tho, both for PS310 coming in and also a new Italian/Venetian spot coming in where the Santa Maria BBQ place is now.
9 times out of 10 that I find myself at Akasha, it's for minimal food and maximal half price cocktails and wine by the glass. They have a good selection of each, and again, room and bar are great. But for me, CC has yet to find a spot as good as Fraiche when it was pumping.
Meanwhile, I have to drag my family and friends to Campanile until it goes dark or they tell me to leave them alone. Then it'll be really cool to see what Walter Manzke does there.
A small suggestion Westsidegal, next time you're there you should ask for some salt or vinaigrette on the side. Order the onion rings. And maybe drink more. You won't be nearly as disappointed :-)

Lunch near USC for a vegetarian?
Mercado la Paloma is a good choice, as it's essentially a (very great and very unique) food court so there will be something for everyone (except Indian). Great Mexican, passable thai.
There is a great taqueria close by which would work - La Tacquiza, too. this is one of the best spots close by. There is also a newer (Kerala) Indian restaurant called Mayura just west of campus you can check ot. I haven't been, but heard it is good, and the branch in Culver City is good.
if you decide to eat on campus, one of the best spots is not well known but is open during summer, called the Galen Commons. Excellent salad bar, good soup, and fresh entrees every day. It's where the athletes and athletic staff eat. It took me a while to find and figue this all out, but it figures that the athletes would be taken care of at SC... Enjoy!

Carne Asada Burrito or Taco in Los Angeles
Yep, ns1 is spot on, the point here was tacos per the rec by the op. I don't recall if El Gordo even had burritos. I saw the recs and references to Cali burritos (brace yourselves, purists!), which have FRENCH FRIES in them. I'll probably get to it someday just to see, but I prefer tacos. I get the concept of fries & meat & grease - if you haven't had Dino's Chicken just near downtown LA, you should. It's quite a dish, just plan on a siesta after.
I don't think I was too biased by place, I've had killer tacos in Santa Barbara, Sonoma, and at countless spots and trucks in LA. I'm interested in how others find El Gordo, and how the OP finds all the recs he's had on this thread. We love tacos here in LA, for good reason.

Tacos El Gordo (National City) [Split from LA carne asada thread]
Note - the other places mentioned (Tacomiendo, Pinches Tacos) are places in Los Angeles, not San Diego. See the Carne Asada Burrito or Taco in Los Angeles thread on the LA board for the whole story.

Carne Asada Burrito or Taco in Los Angeles
I finally made it to Tacos El Gordo on the rec from the OP. The CHOW team moved it to the SD board, you can find it here -
Short version - asada was good, but flaky and very salty. I think many places in our fair city compare very well (Tacomiendo, Pinche's, El Parian - all of my faves here in LA), particularly if what you care about is beefy flavor and the whole package (tortilla, salsas, other extras).
The post is prob worth a read, and was definitely aimed at the LA taco fans and not those from SD.
I'm interested in hearing from the OP as he expands beyond Mexicali Co. which is definitely good but just one of many.
Jun 19, 2012CulverJack in Los Angeles Area
Tacos El Gordo (National City) [Split from LA carne asada thread]
So - I finally made it to Tacos El Gordo in National City, the rec from the OP.
Great place, I'm glad I went (it was about a 15-20 minute trek from where I was working that day in Clairmont on Balboa). This was for lunch a couple of weeks ago. My friend wouldn't stop with "Do you know how many taco places are between here and there?? Are you sure you want to go that far?". But he's not the freak I am (or just about anyone reading this post is, for that matter). It wasn't that hard to calm him down.
Good sized place, and when you walk in there are 3-4 different spots to stand at a long counter offering up different tacos. I haven't seen this before, but the menu is posted above each, so it's pretty easy to flow with this. I ordered 2 asada tacos, 1 cabeza, and 1 pastor.
The asada was very good, grilled and fairly thin, very tender, almost to the point of flaky. I say "flaky" since that's how it seemed. Like when a brisket or short rib is cooked hard in a braise, and a part is left out of the liquid so that the connective tissue is completely gone and it is flaky. Not dry, really, since a lot of the connective tissue went into the meat, but sort of crumbly. Was it skirt? Was it flank? No way to know. It was, however, very salty. Noticably so. I had one taco at the start, and one at the end, to make sure I was ending with the asada. Definitely salty, more so than beefy in the end.
The pastor was good - definitely done right on with a little slice of pineapple if I recall fully and a nice creamy salsa on it which complemented the pork. Definitely "right", though I wouldn't say it was the best ever. Cabeza good too, chunky, tender and fatty. Neither of these were salty, just the asada.
This place is clearly good. I would definitely go if I was in the area. I'm glad to have another spot in my arsenal for SD. But way better than where I go regularly here? Or even "better" in any real sense? I have to say no, not to me. As good? Maybe so, since the idea of the "stations" was good and just about everything I had was solid. Why just "as good"? For comparison, I've made 2 trips to Tacomiendo since (always great) and one to Pinches where the meat was definitely juicy and completely beefy. The meat at Pinche's is definitely a cut above El Gordo quality wise. This is pure beef. To me, Tacomiendo wins not for the meat per se, but for the package with the salsas, escabeche, and fresh tortillas, along with good, solid asada. I probably sound like a broken record always pimping the same 2 joints. These are my haunts - what can I say? I know them well, and I think we're pretty lucky to have them.
Will I complain if I'm banished someday to another city (could happen if I remain snide and insufferable) that there is no good asada in that particular burgh and am searching forlornly for a spot as good as Tacomiendo? God, I hope not.

Update: Ended up at Waterloo & City (Was: Stuck near Centinela/Jefferson area, best place for good drinks and comfort food?)
Yep - CulverJack comes from my living in Culver City and as an homage (old school)/shout out (new school) to ChinoWayne, whose posts I've enjoyed hugely over the years. I liked the sense of person (name) and place (city). It takes away a bit of the anonymity and tells a little something.
Is your CC the same?

Caper berry (the pickled pepper with big seeds). I like Waterloo and city - great bar menu for happy hour. Simpler than the reg menu, but very good. Good staff, drinks, beer, wine. It's a winner.

Carne Asada Burrito or Taco in Los Angeles
I just had Pinche's for lunch today and it was really pretty great. Thick chunks of meat and great juicy, beefy flavor. Great tortillas, pillowy and a good contrast to the meat. I don't know that they are using skirt, but it is definitely tender and thick, and it could well be. Or a thicker form of flank, at least, that would approach skirt. It really doesn't matter what it's called - it's good. Agree, BTW, on using expensive cuts for tacos - doesn't make a ton of sense overall given how well the other cuts work with the accompaniments. It's a package, dadburnit.
I go to the one in CC (naturally, yo!) - I recommend the folks that care enough to keep reading this thread give it a try.
Fraiche in Culver City closing?
Haven't been in yet, but I've been by it at night and it was pretty hopping a couple of weeks ago. I think its nicer inside than out from what I saw when I peered in. If they can get people into that location, they must be doing something well.
Fraiche in Culver City closing?
Yes, and I'm sure they'll keep it. What I mean is great house drinks (cocktails, I suppose) that are yummy just reading the combinations. Sotto has this. Akasha too. Comme Ca has for days.
Carne Asada Burrito or Taco in Los Angeles
I mentioned Tacomiendo in my post - not sure its skirt, I think flank. It's my go to spot all in all, for many reasons. But I wouldn't say its the highest quality meat. Pinche's is a bit thicker/chunkier and moister, for example. But that's just two in my circle of spots within a couple of miles of home. I love 'em both.

Photo shoot in Verulamium Park - Sunday 7 September
St Albans District Council has asked STACC members for help with cycling images. The photographer is due at the Inn on the Park at 9am on Sunday 7 September. Just turn up.
The photography was planned for Bank Holiday Monday, and quite a few STACC members did enjoy a get together at the Inn on the Park - but it was too wet for the camera.

I think they got the message you want harder puzzles.
(grateful his power didn't go out)
Good challenge. I'm curious as to how many solvers knew 7 down. Not knowing where the extra letters would show up was a nice twist. Thanks HEX and Mike.
Meg, I did know 7 down from my childhood days of following baseball but it took some time to recall. This was a good challenge but doable.
Well, as a former Brit and no fan of baseball, I didn't have the slightest idea on 7D, but I refused to google it until after the grid was done. Moderately difficult by Hex standards, I would say.
Anyone else working the November Maltby in Harper's? Have you noticed a missing clue that's supposed to be there at 12 down?
I remembered 7 Down, but it took me a while. Did not know 12 Across. Good word. Liked that HEX didn't reveal the length of the answers. I got the (extra letters) answer fairly early and that was a help. Love cryptic week.
Deb L: yes, there's a clue missing, but you can solve the puzzle without it.
Glad so many of us survived Sandy.
I can no longer bring up the pdf version of the puzzle and print it.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Mitch, I had the same problem this morning on my old desktop. It turned out that I was not waiting long enough for the puzzles page to fully load before clicking on the PDF file button. My sense is that the buttons shift at the end, and the computer thought I was clicking on the button above the PDF.
Must be getting old. Solved this one in less than 12 hours including sleeping overnight and a grocery store trip. Suddenly…2 years after starting HEX Cryptics…they are falling into place faster and faster. Enjoyable puzzle.
Any old sports fan should get 7D immediately. A couple odd words are thrown in but there was enough solved to rationalize what the wrod moust be and then to confrim it with the dictionary. It was "Painless".
Every so often the PDF does not come up on either pc at the house. Then comes the interminable mandatory re-boot and keep trying until the combination of the Adobe and the WSJ website decide to play nice with each other. Sometimes we also have the case where clicking on the puzzle starts replicating tab after tab…like 20 tabs…before being able to make it stop. Isn't technology wonderful?
As an SF native, I've been enjoying baseball these past couple weeks and was ready for 7d. And it was nice to discover that the missing links weren't far from home.
I enjoy solving the HEX standard cryptics at NYT, but I think it's great that WSJ is willing to spend the big bucks to contract for variety cryptics. Using a phrase from this week's instructions, they "ensure that matters are sufficiently cryptic!" Thanks guys.
I meant to say standard cyptics & HEX acrostics at NYT. And I do like them all, but I enjoy variety cryptics the most.
Maltby fans: Harper's website now has a section under the puzzle for comments. First one mentioned the missing 12D clue. Harper's responded nicely. I assume "nos culpae" is the plural of "mea culpa".
Kudos to WSJ for getting the puzzle out in the midst of the crisis. I thought this was a particularly hard one especially without the word lengths and as always I learned some new words. Got stuck for a while with a blank square in the wrong place. Very elegant, thanks HEX and WSJ.
Speaking of baseball trivia, I liked (and knew) 27 across as well as 7 down.
Love cryptic week! This was a "just right" puzzle for me – not too hard, not too easy. Thanks HEX and WSJ!
I like baseball, but did not know 27a or 7d. I got the lower left corner and 2d early, so I knew where I was going. Still, I had to chip away at. Thankis HEX.
Braze: Some do; some don't!
Meg: You were able to log into Harper's website? I just tried, not knowing they had made some changes, and they will not accept either my password or my account number. I notified Customer Care, and they say they will get back to me in two days! Nothing like alienating their longtime subscribers.
Blanche, I logged onto the Harper's website by using my email address — once there I was able to change my password. I had no idea that they had my email, though…
Blanche: Since I get the print copy, I used my account # from the label. That worked. Now when you access the archives, you can jump right to the comments. Neat!
Seeking help with 8D. Assuming that sensitive is the real definition, does the answer include some reference to a character in "The Tempest?" Really slogging through this puzzle, unsure even where to leave blanks!
Lib: For 8D the definition is actually the first 2 words. Look very closely at the rest of the clue. Sometimes "in" really means "in".
Stuck after getting about a third of the answers. Question #1: I thought the directions were telling me to skip the very blank where there can't be a crossover, but that doesn't seem to work- unless I am very wrong on some answers. Example: 14A- It seems that the 4th square should be left blank, yet it works out that I think it has to be the first square to make it work for 14D as well. Also, I'm ready to ask for help; so…on 5D, is the answer 8 letters, and what is the real def. part? Any other clues for that one?
pandafan, That's what I did first, but the new password didn't work, so Meg, I tried again, using my account number from the mailing label, and that didn't work, either. Now I've gotten an email telling me someone is looking into my problem, and I am not to reply to the email. I guess I just have to sit here and stew in my frustration for a while.
ON: For 5D the answer is 7 letters, and the definition is partners. For 14A, yes, the first square is blank.
Meg, for 8D you aren't referring to a container word (I think that's what it is called where the letters are in sequence), are you?
ON: 8D is not a container; in fact you do not need to manipulate any of the words in any way. I always miss this type of clue. It's not as common, but there's usually at least one in a puzzle. Not an anagram. It helps if you have some crossing letters.
Blanche: Last check there were only 2 comments for the Nov. puzzle and one of those is from Harper's, so you're not missing a fascinating conversation. I do hope more people will post there in the coming months.
Meg and Blanche, thanks for helping. I think I have the right answers for 5D and 8D. Wish I understood how to tell which to leave blank. Does it just depend on which space could be filled with an extra letter to make a new word at the end? Don't you girls go too far from the blog tomorrow!
ON: I think part of it is knowing what the answer is and realizing it's one letter too short for the grid. Then you can ask yourself whether another word can be made by adding a letter at one of the crossing points and does that letter work with the crossing answer. Does that make sense? Also, I think you can grok from the instructions that there won't be 2 blanks in the same column. Some solvers identified the "missing links" before finishing the grid, which also helped.
One other thing…..12 columns and 11 "blank" squares. AND…..don't assume the "blank" square always goes at the end of the word.
I've either told you stuff you already knew, helped a bit or fried your brain!
Don't worry…my brain alrready feels seared from mulling over this puzzle all day!
ON. Building on Meg's good advice, see my 1:29 post above and carefully read second to last sentence of the instructions. Finding the blanks is easier if you roughly (or exactly) know the letter that has to be in that blank.
I enjoyed the puzzle and think I have it all, but am not sure how to construe 35 A and 29D. Everything fits, but I don't see how the answers fit the clues, particularly 29 D
Sheila: I assume from construe you mean that you have the answer but that you cannot see how to get there. For 29D…Do you remember the old movie's about the Kettle family? Who were the protagonists and what is their relation to Father? The second part is a standard convention of how we get letters from certain cryptic clues.
35A…what is the partner of "starts" in a colloquial phrase? Doesn't that "seems (or seams) just right?"
Hopefully those clues aren't too cryptic…trying not to completely give away the answer
Thanks Bill – it all comes together now – I had a wrong letter in 29 D
George F. I did look back at your comment, and I'm a little dismayed due to the absence of answers for 2d as well as the the left bottom quadrant. Starting with 2D, are there 3 letters, and is it an anagram (clued by "shot") of the name of a famous captain… or perhaps another word for captain?
I can hardly wait until tomorrow to find out how you could get to the Kettles from the clues for 29d!
On…are you stuck on 29D? Who were the Kettles of the movies?
I know who they were. Is the answer their names? I was just thinking the answer could be a comic-like sound. Three letters, right?
ON my hint was to help you guess the 11 letter meta early on. If you can get the first three letters of the meta and read the early posts and think broadly about the links then I bet you might realize the meta. 2D is three letters but not an anagram and definition is last word of clue. 25D is 4 letters. But even my approach still means that you have to grind through the cryptic clues. Honestly I think the reference to the kettles for 29D is very oblique.
ON. 29D uses similar word play to 2D.
I think I've solved the whole thing, but there are two parts I don't understand. Help please! In 16A, why does "take" represent the four-letter part of the final word? I can't think of any definition of "take" that means that. I've got the whole word and understand the "gold" part. Also, I don't get 2D at all! I saw what GeorgeF said but it still makes no sense to me. Thank you!
ON: 29D is a combination of parts to come to the answer. The first part is one of the protagonists name from the movies…the one that relates to Father. The second part is standard cryptic clueing of using the first letter of a word.
Amanda: For 16A think of a sporting event to visualize "take". For 2D …Who Did Tom Selleck play? That is the first part of the answer…the second part is similar to the second part in 29D
Is the answer to 29D a Hillbilly name for Father?
Part of the answer is a hilbilly name…yes…the first part
There is no "W" though in the hilbilly name…I realize you could say it 2 ways
Just lost my comment due to the sensitive screen… Thanks to B and G I definitely have 2d and hopefully 29d though not sure of placement. Working on 25d…is it a container? I have a word in mind but don't think it can be made into a new word if I have the blank for 24 a in the right place. That would mean the first blank in 25d would be skipped. Also, a question about 18d: which part is the def.?
George F and ON: 25D is a container, as is 8D, indicated by the word "in."
ON I did not see 25D as container. To quote Meg 7:22 above sometimes in means in. If I give any more it will give it away. I saw last word of 18D as definition.
Thank you Bill! 2D is clear now. I'm not sure I'll understand 16A until tomorrow, when the spoilers come out…
ON: On 25D, the four letter answer starts in the second square. By adding the missing letter you get an uncommon word. In 18D the def is the last word.
ON: 18D is also an uncommon word. There seemed to be a lot of them in this puzzle.
Amanda the two words can be used interchangeably when referring to the measurement of how well sporting events or concerts do.
Amanda, I hope I'm right about 16A…think about an order at a French reatuarant.
Don, I got 25d, and I had never heard the new word before. The only part of the cryptic in 18 d that I understand (hopefully) is for the last letter.
ON: 18D word play is synonym (4 etters) for family plus synonym (3 letters)for game in Japan plus last (ultimate) letter of player to arrive at a synonym for racket.
ON. correction japanese game Is 2 letters
Thanks, GeorgeF. I have a real lack of sports knowledge. That helped a lot!
Meg and pandafan: Problem solved. Harper's emailed me this morning and walked me through the process. The webpage has a sprightly new look, and I like the commentary section. I hadn't visited the archive for a while, because I always scan and print the puzzle when the magazine arrives, knowing it won't be in the archive until some time later. So, the December issue should be here in a few days.
It's great to see the new online comments section at Harper's. It looks like puzzle fans may be able to leave comments without subscribing to the magazine, though the process may be more complicated than here at WSJ. If there's a change in Washington tomorrow, I'll probably go ahead and subscribe. Harper's will help keep me sane the next 4 years!
The above traffic begs a quick note distinguishing container clues from hidden word clues. Both could be signaled by "in". But I see containers as requiring letters (or words) to be placed inside other letters (or words) to get the answer. For example the wordplay might say "fire residue in father" which could mean place the word "ash" in the word "pa" to get "pasha". This is why we say 25D and 8D are not containers.
OK, I think I see the difference. In Hex's Guide to Cryptic Crosswords, this is given as a hidden answer: Lover of birds imprisoned in Alcatraz = CAT; and this is given as a container: Bovine has eaten everything green = CALLOW. I would have considered Alcatraz to be a container because it contains the word CAT, but it appears that it is the answer, and not the clue, that must contain another word for it to be a container.
Well, just finished. Enjoyable and not hard enough to give me 35A. One quibble, though, considering the high standards we veterans expect by now (and always get!) in these puzzles. Considering that the answer to the missing links covered eleven letters in the twelve columns, wouldn't you think the column that had no alteration should more appropriately have been column seven? I'm not complaining, I'm just saying……..
This puzzle has given me one of those piques!!!
Still having trouble with 18d even after hints. So, specifically, is the synonym for family either clan or kin? Does the real def. mean noise? Am I looking for the name of a board game popular in Japan? On 24 d do I need the name of a vehicle actually used at D. World, and is the answer an anagram of a car or a fashion model (of the Ford agency)? Yep, I'm really trying and not getting anywhere too quickly.
ON. 18D use your 4 letter synonym for family; yes 2 letter word for board game; think racket in the sense of din or noise; the answer is not a common word. You are very close on 18D. 24D definition is first three words and is generic type of vehicle; word play is charade of common if not ver old ford car model plus synonym for crash.
Puzzle completed with a lot of help from the comments here. I have a lot of answers where I don't get the wordplay!
DB…what is mystifying?
Mike E: I'm just saying, too. I agree, that would have been more elegant and I truly expected it when I saw the answer was two words. I'm sure these are so difficult to construct that it is unfair to quibble about that!
I signed in to the Harper's website last week, but didn't realized there was a comments section. I'll have to go look. As some others did, I used the account number off the magazine address label. Worked like a charm.
DB: Understanding the wordplay will help you solve future cryptics, so ask here. We are happy to explain!
Does 27A have anything to do with the Irish?
Hillbilly girl: No, think of a famous double play trio from the Cubs 100 years ago!
Can someone explain the wordplay in 11 across?
11A…the answer is "fairies"…and the word used for fairies is not "pixies" or any normally used word. I actually solved the word…decided that had to be it…looked it up in the dictionary…and learned something.
You have a "returned father"…think farm animal father…led by the "cap" of Paul.
Jim: Uncommon word for starters. The definition is "fairies". "Father" here is a verb + the first letter of Paul. The whole thing is written backwards (returned). This also happens to be an entry that gains an extra letter.
Thanks to you folks I finally figured out the answer to 11A. As you can see I am still plugging.
Meg (11:15 am November 3, 2012) I think it's "nostra culpa" (or "nostrae culpae" if they've made – gasp – more than one mistake). But I may have my declensions mixed – it's been a while.
How are you finding the Harper's forum? Go to current issue? And then? (I'm old enough to remember 7D, and some days feel like I should remember 27A, but haven't quite got this computer thing down yet.) Thanks.
Meg – Never mind. Apparently there's this "scroll" thingy I have to learn about …
…but I'm still right about the Latin.
Bill the second: I was ready to write a tasteful comment at Harper's about their use of Latin pronouns until I checked Google Translate. "Nos" translates as "we" or "our", which seems odd to me, but my Latin grammar knowledge is pretty nonexistent. Certainly "nostra culpa" sounds better to me. I think making the noun plural is weird too. "Sorry we lied in that campaign commercial. It's our faults." Don't think so.
Well, this one took awhile, but I finally got through it. I did have the first letter to 29D wrong. I worked through some other answers til I knew I had them correct – even though the words were slightly unfamiliar. Great puzzle!
I need Help with 13A. I don't know any Latin and I am so confused.
Hillbilly girl: Sometimes capitalized words in cryptics indicate that you are just supposed to use the first letter. "Advanced " is the definition and the answer starts with "L.". Of course there's an extra letter in this one. No Latin whatsoever.
H/G, All you need to know is the first letter of the word Latin, followed by a 3-letter word for polished off.
Thanks guys, I had the last part of it all the time. Now If I can figure out where it starts and sops.
Not sure on the wordplay for the following:
22D – got the sailor part of the answer, not sure on the last half.
Just a few!
DB : 22d. 2-letter word meaning "provided " + letter on your gas guage
24d: definition is first 3 words. "Ford model " is 1 letter.
24a: definition is first word. Famous author with last letter missing.
30a: definition is last word. Short word for "exit " inside word for "the slightest".
33a: homophone. He "broke the tape " means he _______.
OK. Typing on a Kindle so have fun with these!
Don't forget to vote!
Thanks Meg!
This one looked hopeless at first, but just finished it after getting a late start. After finishing, had to look up 5 straight answers and 2 altered answers to confirm they were actual words, and happy to say all were on target.
@DB – 34A is an anagram for "is read" and 12A understand = "dig" + criticism = "rap" + Hardy's first = H, definition is "two letters". Hope that helps. (This was one of the words where I checked my dictionary.)
Thanks Alice! I learned a new word with 12A, so getting the wordplay for that one was always going to be difficult for me.
Thanks to Meg I have made progress. I was embarrassed when I realized I misspelled the word stops. I also had 22D misspelled. I had too many r's in it. I am still working on 8D and also 9D.
hillbilly girl – 8d is a "hidden word", the definition is "sensitive sort". 9d – the def is brown quickly. You need a 3 letter word for a body of water plus the "r" from run. Hope this helps!
Yes, I did get the 9 down. I had half of it (body of water) didn't know how many more letters were needed. Still confused at 8D. I thought I had 13A but it didn't end in an a. So I erased one and filled in 9D. Thanks for helping. This is keeping my mind off the election. I am worried about that.
Meg – Come to think of it, the original ("mea culpa") is in the ablative case, so it should be maybe "culpis nostris" or "culpis nostri". Are there any Latin scholars here? Are we overthinking this?
Hillbilly Girl – if you're still looking for 8D, it's hidden in the last three words of the clue. It means someone who is just too sensitive for words, swooning over the differences between two shades of mauve, or perhaps dithering on about the nuances of Latin grammar.
This is a nail biter, (The Election too). If I could get 5A I might get 8D. I think I have it, I just can't get it in the right place. Thanks for the comeback.
I have about half of the answers, thanks to your comments and helpful hints on deciphering clues. I am learning as I go and hope to retain this understanding. Does 26A end in an a? Hints for 1A and 5A would also be appreciated.
Judith: Yes, 26a ends in "a". 1a – the def is "lush places". Omit (ignore) "the" from bathers to get the word you need. 5a – you need a four letter word for the type of numbers used on ESPN and add an "e" from error. Hope this helps some.
Thank you Shay. I love it. So clever. You really have to do a brain shift to get these.
I am still trying to solve this thing. I'm almost embrrassed to keep asking for help. 1D is still illuding me.Also 31A and 32A. Is anybody still willing to help? Maybe with reading all the blogs I can finally understand how to do these. This is only the second one I have tried.
Hillbilly G: You picked a challenge for your 2nd cryptic ever!
1d is a Spanish word. The definition is "barrio stores" Synonym for "give promise" (starts with a B) + synonym for a type of fuel. No extra letters.
31A Definition is "ordinary". Synonym for "test" (as in one you face in life, not school) holding a type of drip (think hospitals).
32 A "face of much" means the first letter of "much" + a synonym for "different". The definition is the last 3 words, though you could also define it as "what we often talk about in sessions with a shrink."
Have fun and don't be embarrassed. We have all been in your shoes.
I think I have 31A. Does it have seven letters? Yes. I think I get this one. In 32A I have the first two letters. (providing they are right.) If I can figure out 25D I may have it. I have 24D and 18D. Thanks for the comeback. I really would like to get this done.
I just figured it out. How simple could that be even though I've never been to a shrink. Now if I can figure out 1D and 3D
Hilbilly Girl: 3d – the def is ciphers. "Cracked" means you need to anagram "A thugs". Good luck!
Does it start in the second box?(No3D)
3D uses all six boxes but the answer is a word you probably have never either heard of or used in the context of the definition.
For 1D…do you know what they call a store…like a neighborhood market in…in a Hispanic neighborhood? That is the answer. How you get to there is to add 2 words together. The first word means "give promise of" and the second word means fuel
Well, lets try something else. Maybe 16A will help me fill in the others. I read all the hints but still can't make out what they were saying. I'm sorry to bother you so much but I really do appreciate your help. blessings and prayers go your way!!!!!
16A…like 3d…is a word that requires you to know a rarely used fancy word for a sponge cake. I solved the answer and had to look it up in a dictionary to confirm. The first part is a synonym for "take". The synonym is the word used in the context of what the "take" is from a sporting event or a music concert…or what people pass through to get into the event.
The second half is the Periodic Table of Elements symbol for Gold. In cryptics when a Metal is referenced many times it means "use the Periodic Table of Elements symbol " for the referenced metal
I did have the last two letters for 16A. I was wondering if they were right. Now I know they are. I did finally get 1D and 16A. You are right, I have never heard of that word. I had the first part but couldn't put it with the last until your last clue. The Spanish word I have never heard. We don't have any Hispanic neighborhoods around here.
Just got 3D. Had 1A spelled wrong. Would you believe My Dad used that word?!!That is a Hilbilly word. Shame on me.
25D is a Greek word. I should have known that from my Bible Studies.
I have the completed grid and just cannot figure out the missing links. I hope someone will, um, sort of mention them ……..
Embarrassed Anon: The "missing links" is a California golf course. If you circle the added letters, and read them per the instructions, you'll find the name of this one – it's pretty famous! Happy puzzling!
Aha! You just confirmed my guess. That is what I had STARTED to see but discounted it at first. My problem is that I have one letter wrong somewhere. I have an S where I think I need that E in the second part of the name. Thank you. I can breathe more easily now!
Gat all but 1/4 of the puzzle done. Had to wait for the answers. Challenging and frustrating at the same time. Good brain teaser

Feeling down or troubled?
There are many moments in life when we may feel burdened by the situations we encounter. Sometimes the pressure is so much and you just want to cave in and give up. You may also begin to self doubt- "I knew I was never good enough… don't know why I even wasted my time…" Does this sound familiar?
Why focus is the key to success
Please concentrate. Your ability to focus productively is being undermined by the daily bombardment of emails, text messages and audio-visual stimulation.

Tiki Barber: Parading Around with Mistress, Sued For Divorce By Pregnant Wife on Bed Restby Free Britney at . Comments
Former NFL star Tiki Barber is being sued for divorce by wife Ginny Barber. At the center of the divorce drama? His affair with Traci Lynn Johnson.
After running around town with his young mistress while his pregnant wife spent a week in the hospital, one would have to say Tiki deserves it.
The ex-New York Giants star was slapped with divorce papers over his shameless gallivanting with Traci Lynn Johnson, a 23-year-old NBC intern.
"He couldn't be more heartless," said a friend of his eight-months-pregnant wife, Ginny, whose Manhattan divorce suit cites Barber's "adultery."
"[Ginny] is very heavily pregnant and was last week ordered into the hospital on bed rest," the friend said. "Meanwhile, Tiki has been spotted all over town with his new girlfriend while she was in the hospital."
"He was at the NFL draft and out dining with Traci."
With the mother of his two children on bed rest while pregnant with their third and fourth, Tiki Barber has been parading around with Traci Lynn Johnson. Class act.
Moreover, Tiki is reportedly shacking up with Johnson in a Midtown love nest.
Ducking out of that apartment and into his car, Tiki refused to answer questions and only flashed a grin when asked whether he had spoken with his wife.
On top of the cheating, Ginny Barber is also outraged that Tiki has been low-balling her in out-of-court negotiations over financial support, a friend said.
The family friend said: "It's been an emotional time for her, and she is, of course, worried about the health of her unborn twins. It's a lot to deal with."
Sources say his and Traci's torrid romance was a two-year-long affair beginning long before Ginny, a former fashion publicist, got pregnant with twins last summer.
A source told The N.Y. Post that the Today show has booted Tiki as a correspondent amid fallout from the scandal. NBC and Tiki refused comment.
PIG !!!!!! nothing else says it better.
If his girlfriend decides to play Leanne Rhimes with his kids, it will be even more revolting. Sometimes playing nicey nice with new girlfriends/ex-husbands is just too much - especially in the case of the twins who she should have no part of. Actually, though, it would serve her right if she eventually had to look after four kids, make school lunches, do it all. There is more to raising kids than paying support and seeing kids occasionally - and more to being with an ex-husband/father than spending time alone, dining out alone, etc.
She was stupid to get together with him in the first place.
Just another over inflated ego who believes in his sense of entitlement and the rules of life do not apply to him. One more douche bag to join the likes of tiger woods, jesse james, jon gosselin etc...
Tiki is a dirt bag and should get what he deserves. A classy guy running around on his pregnant wife. I truly hope it's true that the Today show FIRED him. He's a wash up in all respects.

That awkward moment when you moonwalk into Michael Jackson
Fun Fact: That kid is actually Alfonso Ribeiro, AKA Carlton from Fresh Prince
(via oldfilmsflicker)

Every year, we here at Sound On Sight celebrate the month of October with 31 Days of Horror; and every year, I update the list of my favourite horror films ever made. Last year, I released a list that included 150 picks. This year, I'll be upgrading the list, making minor alterations, changing the rankings, adding new entries, and possibly removing a few titles. I've also decided to publish each post backwards this time around for one reason: that is, the new additions appear lower on my list, whereas my top 50 haven't changed much, except for maybe in ranking. Enjoy!
Michael Jackson's groundbreaking dance routines and sensual soprano have influenced generations of musicians, dancers and entertainers for decades. He was one of entertainment's greatest icons, and like most gifted individuals he was always pushing boundaries and reinventing himself while testing his limits. The New York Times once described him as one of the six most famous people on the planet, but I'd like to up the ante by saying, he was the most famous person on the planet.
