A word from Amaya the Indian room
Joanne Kates (The Globe and Mail Restaurant Critic) writes…"Amaya, which opened recently in the (renovated) premises of the former Jov, is heaven-sent. The combination of silken service and excellent ingredients freshly cooked, with sensitive spicing, is seductive in the way that only the food of the subcontinent can be - rich, assertive, complex, exotic." Just as the food avoids clichés, so does the setting. The 40-seat dining room is accented with subtle hints of India through stunning photography creating an inviting atmosphere that is casual and friendly yet elegant and sophisticated.Continued

- Best Indian food in the cityOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/26/2014Amazing food at great location. Easy parking. Friendly staff. Nice promotions. Our only complaint was slow service, but we were having fun, so it really didn't matter much. Don't go if you're in a hurry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- soogoiDined on 11/6/2014Excellent service, soft ambiance, food was superb. We will return with friends.Special Features:
- Never disappointsFoodforLifeDined on 10/31/2014I have been to Amaya several times and always go for the tasting menu. I love being surprised by what the chef will serve us that evening and it is always outstanding. I have not had one dish that I didn't enjoy. The food is flavourful and beautifully presented. The staff are personable, knowledgeable and helpful. It is one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto and has become our special occasion choice.Special Features:
- GoodeatinDined on 10/29/2014Inventive and delicious Indian fare... with lots of delicious twists!Special Features:
- Great Restaurant and Food!!!!!Love2eatitalianfoodDined on 10/24/2014As usual, absolutely wonderful food and great service - I can't get enough of it!!!Special Features:
- ExcellentLmnopDined on 10/23/2014Very unique take on Indian cuisine. A great place to celebrate my birthday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our special treat2foodiesDined on 10/22/2014We used to live a 30 second walk to Amaya, so it was obviously our go-to restaurant. We have since moved and still make the trip back to the old neighborhood restaurant. It's that good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food but...DineOnTimeDined on 10/18/2014...Reservations don't seem to count for much. I've always had a great dining experience at Amaya but, on this particular visit I was a bit offended by the fact that we had a reservation for a specific time for a table for 2 and was made to wait at the bar (without service) while a perfectly prepared table for 2 sat idly by. When I inquired about the table I spotted on arrival, I was told that is was already reserved for a later time...30 minutes later than my reservation!! This made absolutely no sense to me and certainly affected my overall dining experience.Special Features:
- Stained menu needed polishMsBizWizVIPDined on 10/18/2014Beautiful resto just didn't warrant a stained menu. A stained menu didn't do the good food justice. Details count.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Indian at AmayaTrixiLaRueDined on 10/14/2014Not your typical Indian Restaurant - more upscale décor and more importantly, the food. Absolutely delicious. Went with the chef's tasting menu - everything was excellent....notables were the lasooni cauliflower and the lamb lollipops - must haves! Service was good, attentive but not obtrusive. Would go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb Indian CuisinezigbiDined on 9/27/2014Food overall very tasty with a pleasant zing, but not overpowering spiciness. Lamb chops (lollipops) absolutely delicious. The service is friendly, accommodating and prompt. The wine list is adequate. Prices are reasonable to a little high for Indian, but very much worth the extra few dollars.Special Features:
- Amaya Indian Room.. what a change!honestappraisalDined on 9/26/2014We have been going to Amaya Indian Room since it opened. It used to have a very cozy upscale appearance, but I found that the recent renovation (removing bar from the front) makes it look less beautiful and less upscale. Also, the food has changed. The appetizers were unexceptional and accompanied by what seemed jarred sauces. Altogether too sweet. The fresh flavors, spices and herbs previously used are now substituted with generic and uninteresting tomato sauces. Presentation also, is like a splash from a buffet table. A big disappointment! Won't be going back.
- special occasionThumperDined on 9/6/2014Went for my wifes bday. We had the tasting menu which was an adventure for the tastebuds. Outstanding service. Favorite dish was the cauliflower starter and the lamb chop lollipop with fenugreek sauce.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- afamilyDined on 9/6/2014Food was good. Service was also very good. They noted my food allergies on my Opentable reservation and were very accommodating and offered alternatives.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceAD421VIPDined on 9/2/2014Lamb chops -OMG and the service is excellent. Wiuld happily recommend to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always good!KphjrVIPDined on 8/30/2014We have been many times and always enjoy and the food choices constantly change so new dishes to try. Especially like the tasting menus!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always pleasedQualityconsciousDined on 8/23/2014We have been several times for dinner and have always been pleased. The butter chicken is a fail-safe winner but other items like asparagus and the roast cod are excellent too. The ambience is elegant, peaceful and quiet so despite being family friendly would do well for a romantic or business meal as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmayaRCT953Dined on 8/16/2014Our second visit to Amaya in the past six weeks, this time taking a friend from out of town with us, and we again chose to go with the Chef's 6 Course Tasting Menu. The food is excellent and plentiful and the service was top notch. It was packed this night, with a line up to get in after about 8:00pm so the noise level from several of the tables was a little on the high side, but it did not interfere with our enjoyment of our meal. Recommend Amaya greatly if you enjoy Indian cuisine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome!MelodyDined on 8/10/2014Fabulous, creative, well presented food....really good service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- itsmeDined on 8/2/2014This is the second time we had dinner at Amaya. Food was great again. Service was also very good. Had Butter Chicken leftovers for dinner the next night . :-) Still tastes great warmed up. Next time I'll be more adventurous. Try a Kingfisher beer- goes down great with dinner.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014Superb food (we had the taster selection), great variety, excellent service and ambiance. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great curryCurry4uDined on 7/31/2014My friend and I and our 2 daughters enjoyed the food at Amaya - the girls had 2 different chicken curries and we had a tasting menu choosing 4 dishes - we loved the cauliflower starter and the savoury poori and their naan breads. We enjoyed all their dishes and particularly lamb chops, dal and their version of mango chutney. Plenty food to share. We would love to go back :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 1048 reviews are from the Amaya the Indian room reviews archive.
- Good dining choiceDisappointingVIPDined on 7/30/2014Amaya-The Indian Room on Bayview Ave, Toronto said they would NOT honoured any Groupon voucher booking via Open Table and they sent me a cancellation email themselves the next morning. I told them this was not the case in my experience between Groupon voucher and Open Table reservation. The staff reversed the situation and gave me the Open Table 100 points back to my account re the confirmation of this Open Table feedback. In my opinion, this misunderstanding should never taken place at all.Special Features:
- SummerliciousLiciousFanDined on 7/20/2014Amaya's never disappoints, whether for lunch or dinner! The food is always very good, with each dish having very distinct/individual flavours - love the surprise bursts of flavours as one bites into fragrant seeds/spices. The Kale & Paneer Salad & the Halibut were exceptional!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday Evening DinnerShelley49Dined on 7/19/2014We went there for dinner with our two teenage girls. We were celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary. All four of us ordered from their Summerlicious menu. We chose to try different appetizers and three different dinner entrees. The food was delicious. The flavours were refined, and very tasty and there was very little/no fat (which we have found in other Indian restaurants). The wait staff were attentive and pleasant. They didn't rush the dinner either which enabled us to really enjoy the evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent service2dineor2cookDined on 7/19/2014We went here for an early dinner (5PM). The restaurant quickly filled up. The ambience set the mood for a warm conversation. Service was outstanding which is usually a bonus for us. Our server was attentive, gentle and professional. Food was good, I wish we could have chosen the level of heat for our mains- they were a little on the sweet side for me but the lamb curry was definitely really good. (Our mains: Lamb shank korma and Halibut coconut curry). We were presented with a small app by the chef (so was everyone in the room), which was nice and welcoming. Drinks were amazing (Mango lassi, Nimbu pani) Price seemed fair. There is lots to try so we will likely return.Special Features:
- No Complaints!SmacDined on 7/18/2014We did not have the best table, but the food definitely made up for it! Everything we tried on the summerlicious menu was amazing! Can't wait to go back!Special Features:
- Impecable service, and great foodStickmomchauffeurDined on 7/16/2014We came to Amaya and chose it from Summerlicious. I had mentioned to a couple of friends I was going there and all of them said in advance - you will love it, and they were right. All of the wait staff, were sincerely dedicated to help us out whether it was recommending wine or helping us choose the right items so that we felt we could share and get some variety at the same time. Everything was wonderful. Would definitely recommend this to anyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- love this place!!salachanDined on 7/11/2014Great food and excellent service! Never disappointed with the dishes I try. Waiters are very helpful in explaining their dishes and are always around when you need something. My girlfriends and I love Indian food, this is one of our top picks when we're feeling hungry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- first time to AmayaOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/11/2014This was our first time to Amaya and we loved the food and its presentation. The location and atmosphere are certainly not high end but the food was very, very good. We will be returning. If you like Indian food and want something significantly better than your local curry restaurant, then try Amaya.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bridget's ReviewIrishfoodiereview1Dined on 7/11/2014I was very pleased with my experience at this restaurant. I am a big fan of Indian food and this place did not disappoint. The food was amazing,full of flavor and served beautifully. The service was outstanding and the place was really pretty and peaceful. I would have no problem recommending this place to any of my friend's and i will most certainly be returning myself.Special Features:
- A foodie's delightInfinityDined on 7/9/2014We had the chickpea chaat (magnificent!) and chicken tikka (superb - not overcooked like most restaurants), followed by butter chicken & lamb curry (both perfectly prepared, the lamb having been simmered long enough to be completely tender, both sauces superb). For those unfamiliar with the Amaya restaurants, they do not put a lot of heat in their dishes, which makes the delicate spicing they employ really stand out. The dessert of gulab jamun was delicate and not heavy/lumpen, and the syrup delicately spiced. Friendly waiter.Special Features:
- Amaya does it SamhainRebeccaDined on 7/8/2014As a party of six we had a great selection of good. The curry prawns were wonderful just order two dishes to sample the prawns. Great tasting cauliflower and eggplant . Wonderful sauces great dinner .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 7/8/2014A Summerlicious $35 dinner comprised a big appetizer, a very large, very good main, and a good dessert. Our favourite Indian rest did not disappoint.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/8/2014Summerlicious meal was excellent. I will come back to Amaya the Indian room soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amaya reviewOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/7/2014I found that the portion sizes of the appetizers and desserts in the prix fix (summerlicious) were a quite stingy. The dessert I chose was just one plain old honey ball. The sauces for the chicken and lamb were very mild and not what I would expect in an Indian restaurant.
- Consistently GoodKphjrVIPDined on 7/5/2014One of our favourites in the City for Indian fare. Chef(s) take traditional Indian recipes and change to be unique to all. Food is spiced according preference. This time we were here for Summerlicious and it was delicious.Special Features:
- Another fine mealOntariofoodieDined on 6/21/2014Amaya sets the standard for Indian cuisine in Toronto. Food is great, service is great which leads to a fantastic experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WOW what a great experience.GreatfoodDined on 6/20/2014We were greeted and seated promptly. This was my first visit and we asked our server. What was good and he recommended the 4 or 6 course chefs choice sampling. We went with the 6 course which include appetizers and entrees. What a great and enjoyable delicious food experience. Haven't stopped talking about it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality Indian MealtaichibakokoDined on 6/14/2014Consistently interesting and good value Amaya's "fancier" restaurant serves up good variations on the normal Indian fare one finds elsewhere. 1 observation - tables could be large to accommodate all the dishes used in a full meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Hicksville School District chorus concert brought together the developing voices from all nine public schools for a one-night songfest at the high school. Twenty-one participants had achieved All-County Chorus status.
The elementary chorus, comprised of 131 vocalists from the seven grade schools, opened their four-song set with Jack North and Walter Rodby's "Sol-Fa Calypso" and closed with Irving Berlin's "I Love a Piano." Laurie Haddock, Beth Garner, Rachel Pantorno and Mindy Weiss, who were assisted by Frank Barbera, directed them in rotation.The middle school chorus, directed by Caroline Calleo and Justin Starr and accompanied by Stephen Goldstein on piano, treated the audience to three songs, including Sherri Porterfield and William Blake's "The Tiger" as their opening number.
The high school Madrigals, directed by Michelle Emeric, sang a lively a cappella set that started with John Lennon and Paul McCartney's "In My Life" and closed with the familiar beats of Lalo Schifrin's timeless "Mission Impossible Theme."
The program concluded with a performance by the high school concert choir, also directed by Emeric, who opened their set with Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer" and finished with Brian Tate's "Gate Gate."

Political chatter from DC and NYC, the amNewYork way
The sad state of American voters
By Jeff
As a follow-up to Megs post regarding just how ignorant many people are regarding this election and what are their (foolish) motives for choosing their candidate, it got me thinking about a recent blog post from Ben Smith, who makes the point that its actually surprising that "only" 10 percent of Americans think Barack Obama is a Muslim, given the striking ignorance Americans show in many other areas.
So, building off his base, here are a few more statistics about Americans that is really actually pretty depressing.
10 percent think Barrack Obama is Muslim.
18 percent think the sun revolves around the Earth.
19 percent accept the presence of spells and witchcraft.
22 percent think George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks before they happened.
30 percent STILL think that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
31 percent think the Bible is 100 percent accurate and can be taken literally word-for-word.
31 percent can't name the current vice president.
39 percent think that humanity is "definitely" less than 10,000 years old.
47 percent think that the earliest humans lived at the same time as the dinosaurs.
50 percent ages 18-24 can't find New York on a map.
53 percent would refuse to vote for an atheist for president, which is a higher percentage than who would refuse to vote for a black, woman, Muslim, homosexual, 72-year-old or twice-divorced candidate.
65 percent can't name whose face is on the nickel.
So when I see that 36 percent of the population didnt vote in the last election, it really doesnt strike me as something we need to remedy in any urgent manner. Ive got pretty big hunch that there is a great deal of overlap in the ignorant cohorts listed above.

Bill Frist may not have completed the continuing education required to keep his medical license, even though he filed papers with the state of Tennessee saying he did. He "may not have"? Either he did or he didn't. There's not a lot of wiggle room there.
The state of Tennessee requires its licensed physicians to complete 40 hours of continuing medical education every two years. Frist, a heart-lung surgeon who is considering a 2008 presidential run, submitted a license renewal with the Tennessee Health Department stating he has fulfilled that requirement.
Responding Tuesday to repeated requests from The Associated Press, a Frist spokesman said the Republican senator may not have done his continuing education after all [emphasis mine], and had contacted the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners to see if corrective steps were necessary.
Frist is quite proud of his medical credentials, and according to his spokesperson, he "independently" keeps himself up to date on new developments and research. Too bad he didn't keep himself up to date on the rule change regarding continuing education, which was adopted in 2002.
Frist recently took blood-pressure tests on Iowans during a visit to the state that holds the first presidential caucuses. He also keeps the letters "MD" next to his name on his Senate office door and has been known to keep a doctor's bag and lab coat on hand on the campaign trail or in his Capitol Hill office.
Frist is retiring from the Senate at the end of his term this year, and he's thinking about running for president in 2008. I'm hoping he'll be forced back into the private sector, although given his highly publicized diagnostic failure in the Terri Schiavo case, he might have trouble attracting new patients. After this little screwup, he might not have a license either.
Tennessee law states that doctors who fail to do their continuing medical education "will be subject to disciplinary action."
Dan Warlick, a Nashville lawyer who represents doctors in trouble with the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners, said a case such as Frist's would likely be taken seriously.
"They have been routinely revoking licenses for physicians who have misrepresented to the board what they have done," Warlick said.
"Medicine changes," Warlick added. "If you're telling them you're keeping up, and you're not, that would be a very significant problem for the board to have to deal with."
Of course, given that he's Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader, he'll probably find a way to weasel out of any disciplinary action. We all know the rules are only for the little people.

Spotlight: Snow Play at Mt. Rainier National Park
Spotlight: Snow Play at Mt. Rainier National Park
A winter getaway in the shadow of Washington's tallest volcanic peak
What You'll Find
The highest mountain in Washington and the Cascade Range at an elevation of 14,410 feet. In the winter months, Mount Rainier National Park is transformed into a wonderland of snow-play opportunities like sledding, sliding, ranger-guided snowshoe walks, snowmobiling, skiing and snowboarding.
Getting There
Mt. Rainier National Park is located in west-central Washington and is about 200 miles from Seattle, Tacoma and Yakima. The southwest and northwest entrances are open year round; the three east entrances are typically closed in the winter. Visit the park's website for detailed directions and maps.
Stay Here
The National Park Inn at Longmire and the Paradise Inn are located within park boundaries. There are many more accommodations just outside the park, including lodges, inns, spas, cabins and rustic retreats.
Camping on the snow is allowed most anywhere in the park for groups up to 12 people. Groups of 12 or more may camp at Paradise only. Those who venture into the backcountry need to obtain a permit at either the Longmire Museum or the Jackson Visitor Center. Read carefully, the park's guidelines for winter camping before embarking on your wintery adventure.
Make Sure You
Follow winter safety advice. Be aware of quickly changing weather conditions and come prepared with gear, clothing, food and water appropriate for the conditions.
Don't Forget
Some areas of the park, including Sunrise, White River, Ohanapecosh, State Routes 410 and 123 and the Stevens Canyon Road close in mid-October or early November until summertime. Check out current conditions using the park webcams and monitor information updates and alerts on the park website.
Did You Know?
Mount Rainier is an active stratovolcano, characterized by gentle slopes that rise up to a dramatic and steep summit. The mountain last erupted in 1890 and continues to produce seismic activity consistent with an active volcano. Read our spotlight article about Mount St. Helens for a look at another Cascade Range volcano in Washington.

re: pakmode
menu looks very similar to sukhothai, wonder what the differences will be since the price points are higher.
re: hal2010
I'll be going nonetheless, can't lie and say that they haven't made an impression on me by being so welcoming. Yes the food is good, but the hospitality pushes it above & beyond.
Probably stick to ordering the non-sukho thai dishes, and heading to sukho thai for the mainstays.
As much as people like to hoo and haa about their disassociation from sukhothai, it's still owned w/i the family and I'm relatively confident the quality won't decline. I haven't noticed any dip in the last few months when their involvement lessened, they seemed to have left the business w/ a solid foundation in place. I mean, why wouldn't they want their pops to succeed financially?
No reason we can't go to both khao san or sukhothai.
re: pakmode
Can't wait to try it! Having Khao Soy (my very favourite dish in the world, sadly very hard to find in Toronto) so close to work is dangerous!
re: pakmode
Does anyone know if they have their liquor licence yet?
re: principessa del pisello
it did not appear to be the case when i went in on friday
re: KhaoSanRoad
Thanks for the quick reply! I'm looking forward to my first visit on Thursday!

THAI BUCKETS??? I thought I saw the last of those when I left Koh Phangan!!!
re: downtownfoodie
I know, huh? Too funny. Love the idea, though it's not quite the same if you can't stagger across a beach to get back to your room afterwards...
re: JonasBrand
Swung by KSR for lunch today. Tried the Khao Mun Gai Taud ($10), breaded fried chicken over Jasmine rice cooked with ginger, garlic and pandan - delightful flavour and very tasty. Also made it a combo ($3)... small soup (Tom Kha Gai, chicken and coconut soup) with a summer roll, both were great. Thai ice tea ($4.50) was super, but perhaps a tad pricey.

Looking forward to some good, simple pad gra pao gai -- sadly absent from the Toronto food scene. Interesting choice of name, though -- the Thai folks I worked with absolutely loathed Khao San Road and the "bird shit foreigners" (mainly backpackers fresh from the islands) who hung out there...
Regardless, I shall be there with bells on.
re: sokoto
Note, they aren't taking any reservations for now. Is it licenced yet or are they planning to? I doubt it since alcoholic beverages do not show up on their menus but I sent them an email and suggest they tweet that.
Two things everyone always needs to know about a restaurant other than the food menu:
Do they take reservations and is there booze available, lol.
UPDATE: The just took my suggestion and tweet not licensed but coming soon! I always need a nice chardonnay with my Thai food.

It's actually called the Wide Open. They don't serve food there, so that's an incentive to go elsewhere to eat!
re: miketoronto
KSR just tweeted - no liquor license yet, but soon.
price point for mains 14 and under. if they maintain quality, what a great bargain it would be. I am concerned a little though
re: pinkprimp
flow and buzz was good and it was completely manageable, so the wait times weren't an issue. i think the first week "no reservation" policy might have scared off a few people.
re: hal2010
Yes, some crazy spicy, real-deal laab moo or laab guy would be amazing. Jeff and Nuit, if you're reading this, please put this on the menu. Laab (larb?) is from the north, and that's where Nuit's from, so easy right?
re: acd123
Laab and those type of salads are from the northeast (Lao speaking Issan), completely different than northern (Lanna) cuisine.
re: koknia
True. Good point. However, I've had great laab in Chaing Mai, Pai (the town where Nuit is from) and elsewhere in the country. I've even had great laab from stalls in Bangkok (served in those little plastic bags with a twist tie - i love that), where it is certainly less popular than in the north. There is no question that even though the dish originated in the Issan region, it is popular all over northern Thailand, albeit with much regional variability in composition.
re: acd123
People from impoverished Issan do all the heavy lifting jobs in Thailand. Construction, service, drivers etc. They are everywhere from north to south and have obviously taken their food with them.
I was there Friday evening and thought the food was remarkably good. I will definitely be back. I am sure they will get lots of local traffic as the place becomes known. It's only about a 10 min walk from the bank towers so I am sure it will also get a good lunch time crowd.
well durn.... i know the plan was to be open 7 days a week but it looks like that isn't the case right now. we have a dearth of good sunday dining options. hours are:
Mon-Sat (closed Sundays):
Lunch 11:30am - 2:30pm
Dinner 5:00pm - 10:00pm
oh and it looks like they're now taking reservations.
re: pinstripeprincess
I could have missed this bit of information on the site or even in this thread, but can anyone tell me if they do take-out as well?
re: table4onthefly
Yes, takeout is available. It was confirmed by their e-mail which was posted by a user above. They said delivery to come in the future but take out available for now.
Tried Khao San Road last night and it was excellent. My meal was better then those I've had at Sukhothai – and as that was a favourite too, high praise indeed.
The main difference that elevated the food (for me) was the superb textures. The Sukhothai food was always very tasty, but seemed like 'home-cooking' (not a bad thing). Now, some 'elegance' (or 'sophistication') seems to have elevated the food, although the 'heat' seems to have dropped a bit – maybe that's why the textures seemed more apparent to me.
Make sure you know the address – no formal sign (as yet), just a paper name on the door.
MUCH more inviting than Sukhothai – but I assume the rent increases proportionately – but this is a far more serious appearance. I know several people who would not have ventured to Parliament, who will be much happier here – although foot traffic on a cold Monday was very light.
No license as yet, but apparently it's hoped for soon. Service welcoming and non-threatening – laid-back being the best description.
But to the food – which is the all-important thing.
As appetizers we tried the squash patties - AMAZING – this is likely to become a must-order on every visit (c.f. I order Onion Bhajia in every Indian restaurant I can find). Great texture, greaseless and a sweet/hot sauce for dipping that nuzzles the taste buds.
Also had the Tom Yum soup – packed with flavour again, and denser than most versions I've had before, and textures were perfect with slippery mushrooms, crunchy veg and very fresh lemongrass. NOTE: This is a small portion (cup) not a bowl, so order one each rather than sharing. And finally the crispy tofu (from the lunch menu) which was technically perfect (textures again) but needed the accompanying sauce to liven up the flavour.
For the mains, we ordered 'very spicy' but need to calibrate our (or the server's) taste buds! The good news is that a small dish of fiery chile oil was provided on request – but, on reflection, I guess if I owned a restaurant, I'd serve relatively mild food – it's easy to spice it up, but if it starts too hot, then the whole dish is wasted (or rejected/refunded).
The massaman curry (chicken) was (apart from the lack of spicy heat) just about perfect. The revelation was the potato – absolutely perfectly cooked – not too mushy or too hard, and holding shape when cut with a fork (or spoon). Plus the crunch of the peanuts. Certainly the best version I've had in Canada – maybe the best anywhere. Even a slight chew to the chicken (but only white meat – but again that's what is usually expected in Canadian restaurants).
The Pad Phed Pha (a stir fry) was also exceptional in its textures – everything "à point" ; crunch, slight chew, but again, not as spicy as I'm used to – soon fixed with the addition of the chilli oil. Superb flavours again.
So for under $50 a GREAT meal.

re: estufarian
were you aware of the "thai spicy" option for heat levels? i think that would have matched what you were looking for.
re: pinstripeprincess
IMO .. the sukhothai "thai spicy" is still spicier.
while i thoroughly enjoy both establishments... one gripe i have is the quantity.
I"m not expecting chinese takeout sized portions of "ho fun" but sometimes its an inch under the lip of the box.
I know we're not in Thailand but pad thai is supposed to be cheap street food ($1 cdn)
re: foodyDudey
LOL thats fair .. but a large package of rice noodles costs 50 cents here.
I still think the portions are pretty small... IMO
re: pinstripeprincess
I guess that was part of the 'laid-back' service.
We just asked for 'very hot'.
re: estufarian
You should have told them you wanted "rim fire" hot. or were hoping to do the dance of the chili plum fairy the next day :-)
re: foodyDudey
Isn't massaman curry fairly mild?
re: hal2010
i haven't had it at khao san .. but the sukhothai version . .which should be similar ... it has tamarind in it and has some sweet notes to it.
so ya its a fairly mild curry, IMO
re: hal2010
Based on my understanding, yes, massaman is generally supposed to be a mild curry, heat-wise (at least that's the theme that has come up in my attempts to make it myself). One thing that I think might happen with "thai spicy" in Nuit's kitchen is that not every dish is supposed to be served with searing levels of chili, so "thai spicy" may have a different definition based on what dish you've ordered. This is pure speculation on my part, as I haven't asked her, but in my case, I was there on opening night and my dining companion ordered his panang curry thai spicy - we both found it hot, but not unbearably so. On the other hand, I know she is capable of serving some truly endurance-test dishes when appropriate. But for those looking for the "I want it made 10/15/50 chiles" kind of scale, I don't think Nuit is going to do that. Not that I think that's what estufarian wanted, I just know many in this town expect such things.

re: estufarian
We ate there last Saturday, and we seem to have had a very similar meal to yours (and a similar experience with the spiciness level).
We started with the squash patties, which as you mention were amazing. I'd order them again in a second. Not too greasy and the dipping sauce was a perfect accompaniment.
On ordering our mains, the waitress explained the heat levels up to 'Thai Spicy', and although I like spicy she said that it might be good to try one level below Thai Spicy and add more chilies if I needed them. On receiving my dish it really wasn't very spicy at all, so I added the dish of chili oil she brought and that livened it up (although it still wasn't what I would call 'extremely spicy'). That was a fairly small quibble, though.
For my main I had the massaman curry with beef, and as mentioned above it was pretty perfect. Wonderful flavour, well cooked, I loved the peanuts as well. My girlfriend had their special pad thai and she loved it as well. I'm ecstatic that there's finally a great thai place in my neighbourhood.
re: estufarian
i had a full meal there last saturday and thought i'd offer up some thoughts. i am friends with all those involved, but really no one is giving me special treatment when i sit down for a meal... they're far too busy to do anything special for me.
started with the gra bong (squash fritters), garlic shrimp, and the new mango salad (replacing papaya). gra bong were nicely fried, not greasy, great hearty flavour from the curry paste and sweetness from the squash. they kind of have an element of sweet potato fries to them. the dipping sauce is great, pungent and bright. the garlic shrimp have been amped up with a healthy hit of fresh kaffir lime leaf and wild ginger (how they find these ingredients i do not know). i love how it cuts through the breading... unfortunately they seem a little greasier than before but i also ate them a bit late into the meal. their new mango salad is shredded and marinated a bit and mixed in with peanuts. it has a good funkiness to it and great texture. it was hard not to eat all of it but that was easily quelled because our mains pretty much arrived with two of our apps.
we had the massaman beef, nice tender potato, good amount of beef, nicely sweet and tangy sauce. i do think the sweetness competes with the heat a bit so if you want it to be spicier it's probably best to order it a heat level up. also had the pad gra pao. this was the first time i'd had this dish and i liked the use of holy basil a lot. it was a nice punch of flavour without being overwhelming. i think they're the only restaurant really using it and they're getting it in from thailand. that fried egg was cooked spot on for me. just oozy enough to get some on my rice but solid enough i could get good bits of it. i almost kind of wish i got it to go for breakfast the next morning.... it has a really comfort-y element to it for me.
were far too full at this point to order dessert so we passed on it but got a thai iced tea instead.
looking forward to when they start expanding the menu to include all the special dishes nuit has swimming in her head and trying out some of the lunch items since they're different from the main menu.
also wanted to mention that we ordered everything medium heat and it was about right for what i was expecting. i think they've been paying attention to the spice issues and have been amping it up.
EDIT: i forgot to mention that they didn't give us water until we asked for it halfway through our meal and checked in on us about the same time. we were eating everything and enjoying it so it wasn't really an issue but i like some happy medium between first bite and digging in. they were pretty good about trying to clear plates though since our table was completely covered due to the app + mains coming at the same time. wish the plates themselves were hot!
re: pinstripeprincess
Just been too busy to return (so far) and with Hoof Cafe and NY Subway closing this month will probably not return before March.
But will DEFINITELY return then - and can promise the gra bong will be ordered!
Went on Saturday night, some kinks they have to work out but overall a more welcoming place for dining in. They had problems w/ the POS apparently and our orders were quite delayed. I'll cut them some slack and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Service was warm as usual. I would suggest menus printed on better card stock, as I can tell they're trying to reach a more hip/date night vibe than sukhothai. Also the trash bin in the washroom was overflowing, it appears a tad small the handle the volume of usage on a busy night.
I saw beers being served but just assumed it was for "friends/family" since there was no mention of booze being available. Plus I was still assuming they were lacking a license. Would've ordered one......
Tried the newer items, with the squash fritters being the best of the bunch. Dipping sauce had a nice touch of lemongrass.
Anyways, will be back, to both Khao San and Sukhothai.
274 Parliament St, Toronto, ON M5A, CA
I'm looking forward to visiting there around the end of March. If it's good, that will give me four Thai restaurants to choose from!
A friend has been twice already, and loves KSR. I wish I lived closer or that there was free parking! NOW magazine has a great review of the food and "scene + heard" Shinan Govani pronounced the food "kicky". Maybe I will make it over for lunch during March Break. My taste buds are reeling from a mediocre meal from Everest in Mimico this evening.
Had a good meal at KSR yesterday. Ordered squash chips, garlic chicken, green curry with chicken, three flavours pad thai with chicken, pad gra pao with beef, khao soi with beef, and the tapioca. Everything was delicious and flavourful. Portions are smaller than Sukhothai and prices are more, but there's an upgrade in location.
The service has a few wrinkles in it which will hopefully be ironed out with time and experience. They forgot our pad thai until we reminded them when they came by to ask us if we wanted dessert. It came later, but we were content to wait for it. Since our party of four was sharing everything, they were good about bringing us our own plates and bowls without us requesting them, but we needed to request utensils for doling out the food. These are minor quibbles and the staff are still fairly welcoming (especially Jeff).
Caution to those who think they can drop-in and get a table on a Saturday night without a wait. It's advisable to call ahead a few days for a table for the weekend, since the Now review came out. They were completely booked up from 7 to 9.

Core Cipher
Music Theory
More Cipher
Page 1 2 3 4
The Major scales intervals (all of them Major or perfect) and the unqualified numerals (one through seven) used to represent them are the starting point of musics standard system of formula-number symbology. All other intervals, meaning those that do not occur naturally above the tonic of a Major scale (e.g. minor, augmented, and diminished intervals), specifically the remaining five non-Major tones, are symbolized with numbers by adding accidental marks
to the Major scales unqualified interval numerals. The differences of those non-Major-scale intervals are then seen and compared relative-to the Major scales (Major and perfect) intervals the standard referents. For example; the minor-third interval (which does not occur above the tonic of a Major scale) is symbolized b3. In simple language, that number-symbol flat-third means; a little less than a Major-third. The referent is the Major-third (i.e. the number 3 with no flats or sharps), and the flat symbol is the qualifier, meaning narrowed by one half-step or semitone. Figure 9 shows more examples of how standard procedure numbers these non Major-scale intervals. Notice that all of these interval number-symbols (potential formula-digits) are qualified with flats or sharps.
Figure 9
For a quick introduction to the method of numbering and qualifying non-Major tones, and to confirm that said method is common to both system components (letter-names and number-names) compare these two renderings of a chromatic scale (Figure 10). Note, the designations #1, #2, and #6, are possible, but because of infrequent use I omitted them here.
Figure 10
Approximately one-half of all available intervals are either Major or perfect they are natural to the Major scale. The remaining intervals are either minor, augmented, or diminished. But due to standard procedures habit of assigning enharmonic names to those non Major-scale intervals (alternate but synonymous letter-names and number-names assigned to any single tone, e.g. #4 = b5 and 6 = bb7) the apparent quantity of non-Major-scale intervals doubles, at least. In other words, it will seem as if there are twice as many non Major-scale intervals than there really are, and there will be twice as many non Major- scale interval names (in fact) to learn about (and then translate). [Thankfully, there are no enharmonic numbers in the Cipher System. The Cipher System treats each pair of standard procedures enharmonic alternates as a single tone (which they are in the equal tempered chromatic scale used on all pianos and guitars) and assigns a single (real, chromatic) number-value to each such tone. Any of the Cipher Systems single number designates, then, will always encompass any and all of standard procedures enharmonic alternates for the given tone.]
Even though our two most fundamental system components, letter and number names, share much in design and methodology their wedding, in practice, is less than harmonious. The dual use of accidental marks, simultaneously qualifying both the letter and number names of any given tone (well call it a name-pair), as a rule, results in mixed messages. They are visually and conceptually confusing. For example, one of the two members of a given name-pair might use a flat while the other member uses a sharp or no accidental at all. Conflicting letter and number names occur everywhere in music theory except the key of C Major. That is, they're present in all other Major and minor scales, their respective chords, etc.
For a sampling of clashing accidentals, examine the key of G# minor natural (Figure 11). Scan vertical pairs of names comparing letter and number names. Three distinct combination types are encircled, but the name-pairs of every tone are clashing.
Figure 11
To compensate for those ubiquitous conflicting names, a full set of number-qualifying prefix-words, whose meanings are nearly equivalent (or analogous) to the accidental marks was developed: Major, minor, perfect, augmented, and diminished. They provide neutral vocabulary that function well regardless of environment. That is, irrespective of the accidental marks present among both letters and numbers. Incorporated within the interval number-names, the neutral qualifying prefixes lend greater precision to communication by operating above the level of variables. They can mean only one thing, no matter which or how many accidentals are needed to make it so. While the accidental marks and prefix words do not fall into exact and exclusive one-to-one correspondence, their parallel function and near correspondence is strong enough to make point of and examine. First, review the functions of the five accidental marks (Figure 12):
Figure 12
Here then are the (nearly) corresponding (and neutral) number-qualifying prefixes (Figure 13):
Figure 13
The precise meanings of the neutral qualifying-prefixes are defined and graphically illustrated next (Figure 14 and 15). Again, these names apply regardless of the accidental marks needed to achieve the states (i.e. interval widths) defined.
Figure 14
Figure 15
Note; the two types of qualifier-prefixes, words and accidental marks, cannot be brought into exact and exclusive one-to-one correspondence. The word-qualifier diminished, for example, may correspond to either of two different accidental marks: the flat [b] and double-flat [bb]. e.g. diminished-fifth intervals use single flats but diminished-sevenths use double flats.
In standard procedure the number-name of any interval is made-up of two parts: an Arabic numeral plus a qualifying prefix. The prefix can appear either as a word [e.g. Major, minor, augmented, or, diminished], or a symbol, i.e. an accidental mark, e.g.
. The meanings and use of these two types of qualifier are similar but not identical. In any event, we must be able to understand, link, (and ultimately translate) both kinds of prefixed numbers. Ive included separate interval number-name translation-tables on this web site for each of the two types of prefixes (word and accidental-mark) and a third summary table combining both.
The two forms of interval number-name, employing either word prefixes or symbol prefixes, are used for different purposes. Word prefixes, like Major, or minor, communicate the particulars of intervals while remaining neutral with regard to specific combinations of accidental marks present at any given time. Word prefixes, then, are collective and neutral qualifiers. For example; the following pairs of lettered tones are all Major third intervals. They all span the same distance, 2 whole-steps: B-D#, Cb-Eb, B#-Dx, C-E, C#-E#, Db-F. Each spelling of this one interval displays a different combination of accidental marks (or none), yet all of them can share the same collective number-name (Major third) because that name incorporates the neutral qualifying word Major rather than some single and specific accidental mark.
Interval number-names that incorporate accidental-mark prefixes (e.g. b3 and #5) are more compact than their word-prefixed counterparts and theyre also more precise. This form of interval number-name is used primarily as a kind of musical notation, a written shorthand, and its the preferred form for cataloguing musical formula. For example; in standard procedure, chord formula are typically written like this: R, b3, 5, b7 = Minor-Seventh chord. Each digit of such formula (with or without accidental marks) represents and names an interval of a specific width in whole-steps or half-steps. Those digits, those interval number-names, are the things we must translate to real (counting) numbers, i.e. half-step or semitone value numbers.
With our completed set of prefixes, all twelve intervals can finally be named (Figure 16). The five non-Major tones can be addressed by either of two enharmonic number-names, e.g. aug.1st = min.2nd. Two (otherwise) Major intervals receive enharmonic names as well; (P-5th = dim.6th), and (Maj.6th = dim.7th).
The significant difference in the number-names of Major-scale and non Major-scale intervals (simple or compound) is this; the number-names of non Major-scale intervals are expressed as variants of and relative to the Major and perfect reference intervals and their plain (unqualified) number-names. For example, chromatic tones neighboring the tone called 6 that is, lying one half-step lower or higher in pitch would be called (b6 or min.6th) and (#6 or aug.6th) respectively. That is, theyre qualified sixths. The numeral 6 is appropriated and incorporated within the number-names of those non Major scale intervals. So it is throughout music theory. Non Major-scale intervals do not have truly independent and distinct names, whether we use letters or numbers. The Major scale bias is all pervasive.

WEST PALM BEACH - A Palm Beach County company that sells septic treatment products pleaded not guilty Tuesday morning to conspiring to defraud customers, particularly senior citizens, with false claims and scare tactics.
FBK Products, with offices in Boca Raton and West Palm Beach, faces up to a $500,000 fine for the criminal charge arising from the company's marketing of Septic Remedy, soluble packets flushed down toilets to maintain septic tanks. The firm's telemarketers made false claims that Septic Remedy was licensed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the government offered vouchers to offset the cost of the product, according to federal authorities.

A local family contacted News First 5 saying because they have a Pit Bull, they'll soon be homeless. Missy Mueller told NF5 when her lease was up her family was planning to move, but as they started calling around town everyone told them no when she brought up that they have a seven-year-old Pit Bull. Now her family is moving into a pop-up camper.
Sunday on NF5 we'll hear Mueller's story, and look into the stigma that comes with Pit Bulls.

The psych approachSeptember 29,2012In the 1990s, Vincent Felitti and Robert Anda conducted a study on adverse childhood experiences. They asked 17,000 mostly white, mostly upscale patients enrolled in a Kaiser HMO to describe whether they had experienced any of 10 categories of childhood trauma. They asked them if they had been abused, if their parents had divorced, if family members had been incarcerated or declared mentally ill. Then they gave them what came to be known as ACE scores, depending on how many of the 10 experiences they had endured.
The link between childhood trauma and adult outcomes was striking. People with an ACE score of 4 were seven times more likely to be alcoholics as adults than people with an ACE score of 0. They were six times more likely to have had sex before age 15, twice as likely to be diagnosed with cancer, four times as likely to suffer emphysema. People with an ACE score above 6 were 30 times more likely to have attempted suicide.
Later research suggested that only 3 percent of students with an ACE score of 0 had learning or behavioral problems in school. Among students with an ACE score of 4 or higher, 51 percent had those problems.
In Paul Toughs essential book, How Children Succeed, he describes whats going on. Childhood stress can have long-lasting neural effects, making it harder to exercise self-control, focus attention, delay gratification and do many of the other things that contribute to a happy life.
Tough interviewed a young lady named Monisha, who was pulled out of class by a social worker, taken to a strange foster home and forbidden from seeing her father for months. I remember the first day like it was yesterday. Every detail. I still have dreams about it. I feel like Im going to be damaged forever.
Monishas anxiety sensors are still going full blast. If a plane flies over me, I think theyre going to drop a bomb. I think about my dad dying, she told Tough. When I get scared, I start shaking. My heart starts beating. I start sweating. You know how people say I was scared to death? I get scared that thats really going to happen to me one day.
Toughs book is part of what you might call the psychologizing of domestic policy. In the past several decades, policymakers have focused on the material and bureaucratic things that correlate to school failure, like poor neighborhoods, bad nutrition, schools that are too big or too small. But, more recently, attention has shifted to the psychological reactions that impede learning the ones that flow from insecure relationships, constant movement and economic anxiety.
Attention has shifted toward the psychological for several reasons. First, its become increasingly clear that social and emotional deficits can trump material or even intellectual progress. Schools in the Knowledge Is Power Program, or KIPP, are among the best college prep academies for disadvantaged kids. But, in its first survey a few years ago, KIPP discovered that three-quarters of its graduates were not making it through college. It wasnt the students with the lower high school grades that were dropping out most. It was the ones with the weakest resilience and social skills. It was the pessimists.
Second, over the past few years, an array of psychological researchers have taught us that motivation, self-control and resilience are together as important as raw IQ and are probably more malleable.
Finally, pop culture has been far out front of policymakers in showing how social dysfunction can ruin lives. You can turn on an episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, about a train wreck working-class family. You can turn on Alaska State Troopers and see trailer parks filled with drugged-up basket cases. You can listen to rappers like Tyler, The Creator whose songs are angry howls from fatherless men.
Schools are now casting about, trying to find psychological programs that will help students work on resilience, equanimity and self-control. Some schools give two sets of grades one for academic work and one for deportment.
And its not just schools that are veering deeper into the psychological realms. Health care systems are going the same way, tracing obesity and self-destructive habits back to social breakdown and stress.
When you look over the domestic policy landscape, you see all these different people in different policy silos with different budgets: in health care, education, crime, poverty, social mobility and labor force issues. But, in their disjointed ways, they are all dealing with the same problem that across vast stretches of America, economic, social and family breakdowns are producing enormous amounts of stress and unregulated behavior, which dulls motivation, undermines self-control and distorts lives.
Maybe its time for people in all these different fields to get together in a room and make a concerted push against the psychological barriers to success.

Adair was a post-hardcore/alternative rock band from St. Louis, Missouri. Originally the outgrowth of its predecessor band, Disturbing the Peace, the group was created in 2002 and signed to Warcon Enterprises in 2005. Adair toured North America on the 2006 Taste of Chaos lineup, and has toured in support of groups such as Story of the Year, Hawthorne Heights, Letter Kills, My Chemical Romance, Calico System, Evergreen Terrace, A Wilhelm Scream, and Motion City Soundtrack. Adair's first album, The Destruction of Everything is the Beginning of Something New, was released February 21, 2006. In February 2007 the group decided to separate due to the instability of certain members of the band.
Adair originated in St. Louis, Missouri from its forerunner band, Disturbing the Peace. In the spring of 2002, then Disturbing the Peace guitarist Greg Haupt left the band to join Story of the Year (at the time Big Blue Monkey). Adair's inception came when vocalist Rob Tweedie, bass guitarist Josiah Werner and drummer Mike Jost of DTP added lead guitarist James Grossenheider and rhythm guitarist Josh Goldenhersh to their lineup. The group wrote new material and attempted to differentiate itself from its predecessor, DTP. Before moving to Orange County, California in the spring of 2003, the band recorded a 6 song EP entitled The Permanent Bruise. The EP was recorded, mixed and produced by John Pessoni and Jerry Jost of the St. Louis alternative ska group The Urge.
The Destruction of Everything
From 2004, the band went through a series of lineup changes. In late 2004 bass guitarist Josiah Werner left the band to return to St. Louis. The band then added bass guitarist Jeff Meyer, formerly of Open Hand and Not Waving But Drowning. Shortly thereafter, James Grossenheider left the band to play guitar in Bullets and Octane. The group then went through a succession of several temporary replacement guitarists. In the late spring of 2005, drummer Mike Jost left the band out of a desire to stop touring and to be at home. The band's lineup stabilized with the added replacements of drummer Matt Tuttle and guitarist Patrick Baum. In December 2006, original guitarist Josh Goldenhersh also had to leave the band out of a desire to stop touring and be at home, and was replaced by Sean Woods, former guitarist for the rock band Open Hand.
The Beginning of Something New
In the late summer of 2005, the band, managed by John Oakes (of Freeze Management), was signed to the newly founded indie label Warcon Enterprises. In October 2005, the band wrote and recorded The Destruction of Everything is the Beginning of Something New. The album was recorded with producer/engineer Allan Hessler (Goldfinger, The Used) and released on , 2006. The album's title, artwork and lyrics use the story of the ancient city of Pompeii as an allegory for the band's reconstruction and rebirth. Since its release, the band has been touring in support of the album. The band was featured as part of 2006 Vans Warped Tour lineup, in addition to touring alongside groups including Story of the Year, Thrice, Atreyu, Dredg, Thursday, Funeral for a Friend and the Deftones.
"The Diamond Ring"
Main article: The Diamond Ring (song)
Adair's first single from The Destruction of Everything is the Beginning of Something New was "The Diamond Ring". In early February 2005, the music video for the song was shot in Chaffee, Missouri. The video was written, directed and edited by Nick Lambrou.
Break up
On February 12 2007, Adair announced through their myspace profile and email newsletter, that the band had broken up. According to the announcement
Some of the members have made personal decisions in their lives that hinder us from taking the band further, whether it be touring or writing.
? Adair, Band's myspace blog, Feb 12, 2007
The announcement also went on to say that morale for the band had reached an all-time low on their last tour which further fueled the decision to break up. Members of Adair are expected to continue in other musical endeavors, Patrick Baum and Justin Mank have gone on to form a new band, The Seasoned Professionals. Patrick also continues to write and record solo, and can be found performing under his own name in different clubs around the St. Louis area.

In my class I use a "Must Do / May Do" board and am a bit picky about the May Dos because I don't want my friends to rush through the Must Dos to quickly get to a more desirable activity.
However, we are now in that time of the year when we've had a chance to get to know our students and they are now well aware of your expectations. That means they are less likely to produce "less than their best" with the hopes of moving on to something they are more interested in.
This is a cute display of choices. In my classroom, I have designated Friday afternoon as "Finish Up Friday." It is one of my favorite hours of the week. It gives kids a chance to get things done and allows those who are finished an opportunity to explore a choice activity.
I like the idea of using something like this instead of the "may do" section of the board because it is a more relaxed time of week and it would also serve as a nice goal for getting the work done in the allotted time frame.
Join me each weekday morning for coffee & a clever idea.
