March 22, 2009

"We have to respect the elections in the country. That is a bigger issue than our issue.

Mahajan rules out early general elections
October 22, 2003
MUMBAI: If the BJP's national general secretary Pramod Mahajan is to be believed, the next general elections will be held as per schedule in September '04.

"Even if we lose or come out with flying colours in these states, there's no reason for advancing the polls," he said. According to Mr Mahajan's theory, the most important point on the BJP's agenda...

General elections 2014: The relevance of small states
March 31, 2014
ET Bureau
In government policy discourse, states with a population of less than 20 million are loosely referred to as 'small states'. There are 18 such states/Union Territories, according to Census 2011 . Numerically, these small states account for just 41 seats of the 543-member Lok Sabha. But in the last four general elections, the national party that won more seats in these small states formed the government.

BJP, Shiv Sena, NCP, Congress & MNS: Maharashtra polls to decide fate of some key players

That the Maharashtra assembly election on October 15 will be the first state poll the Shiv Sena fights after its founder Bal Thackeray's death in 2012, and solely under his son Uddhav's leadership, must be weighing heavily on the latter's mind.

Really enjoyed this stop. Knew all the old westerns the sets were from, got pictures in front of them. Quiet and free parking. Worth a stop, wonder around the gift shop.
We didn't know most of the old westerns the sets were used for, but it was cool to see. Would have been nice to show some of the clips from movies that the sets were used for to see how they appeared vs being here.
What's more fun than posing in front of old movie sets with your camera set to black and white eh? Ok lots. But it is good fun. It was quiet when we arrived about 3pm and we spent about an hour here including a browse in the shop. There is free parking if your driving through or its walkable if...
Silly stop in Kanab. Store has lots of good stuff if you like stuff.. Museum is a little rough but fun for photos. Worth a quick look. Drop a couple of bucks in the donation jar.
Free, although donations are requested. This takes about 15 minutes. The sets have been salvaged and reconstructed on site. It's interesting. Make sure you watch the short video in one of the cabins. I'm sure the store in front of the site is how they make their money.
The reason this gets an excellent on my review is for the fun factor. The old sets are great and fun for photos, but the best is if you get there when a tour group has come in. The night we strolled into the place a German tour group had just finished their dinner there and were gearing up for...
If you are in Kanab and have any interest in classic Hollywood western moves, the Little Hollywood Movie Museum on Highway 89 as you are coming into town from the north is a must see. It is a small but charming and fascinating little museum with sections of original movie sets on display in the yard behind the main building....
Its interesting in the fact that they have salvaged old movie sets. What is disappointing is that they are all decrepit and decomposing. It was free and a good tourist trap and is worth going to if you need a stop to stretch.
Kanab was a great town, our favorite in UT. The museum was interesting as we are both Western fans and most were from our era.
We didn't do the dinner and the show so that might be better, but just going and looking on our own was not worth it. If you want to go plan on 30 minutes to see the whole thing.

Well, I don't mean to state anything... but I really have listened to a lot of high-end headphones, got impressed by the JPS Labs Abyss, and still... somehow I feel the HE-560 is the best headphone I have heard to date.
It keeps scaling up with higher quality components in the signal path, too. This is the first headphone I have put on my head that can reliably demonstrate the differences between DACs for me. That's how I am able to tell my Neko Audio D100 Mk.II is significantly better than the AMB Gamma2. It's not even a subtle difference. It's almost like night and day.
If one day I get the chance, I'll definitely have you listen to my HE-560 rig, and then you'll understand why I've been praising the HE-560 non-stop.
I was of a similar opinion when I heard the LCD-2 recently.
Prior to the HE-560, I thought it would have been my end-game, but now that I am accustomed to the HE-560, the LCD-2 suddenly feels... "behind" in a lot of aspects.

In September 2012, the Tamil Nadu police brutally broke up a peaceful anti-nuclear sit-in by fisherfolk and farmers in Koodankulam — the site where two nuclear power plants of Russian origin are being set up. Rajesh Das, one of the state's top cops, who oversaw the police attack had this to say about the protestors: "They are very simple people, knowing nothing but fishing and eating. They are being manipulated."
Ajantha Subramanian's book, Shorelines: Space and Rights in South India reminded me that Das is merely the latest in a long list of simple-minded people who are blinded by their own positions of privilege from seeing fishers as anything but primitives that are led by the nose by one or the other manipulator. Ajantha recounts her conversation with N. Dennis, a Congress politician from Kanyakumari, about the time in 1970s when local fishers belonging to the Mukkuvar community switched from voting nationalist Congress to the Dravidian DMK. "When I suggested that perhaps Mukkuvars knowingly voted for someone who they thought might respond to their concerns," Ajantha recalls, "Dennis laughed and said, "What do coastal folk know about democracy? In their world, there is only prayer and fish."
This book is a painstaking effort that succeeds in arguing for a nuanced understanding of Mukkuvar fishers and their negotiations with power and politics. Ajantha rejects the notion of the subaltern as outside and incapable of engaging in democracy, and brings out the rich creativity of catholic Mukkuvars in negotiating institutional power structures — be it of the Raja, the catholic or protestant church, of political parties or the state.
The author's treatment of the subject of space and rights in India's southwestern coast makes this book a valuable resource for social commentators, activists and bureaucrats. It is a remarkable feat that the author has achieved in weaving together the complex interplay of class, caste, notions of science and tradition, of religion and morality and fishers' "projects of intermediacy" to present a narrative on the history of developmentalism in the region in an engaging style.Science vs. Folk
More valuably, Ajantha presents an effective and replicable framework of analysis that can be used to tease out important details on how people perceived to be without "agency" actually influence and shape powerful institutions and their own destinies.
What has been said in the book about the Mukkuvars can just as easily apply to the Paravar catholic fishers of the Southeastern coast. And the Mukkuvar stereotype described in the book — of fishers as a brawling, ignorant, superstitious, unscientific, tribal and primitive peoples resistant to change and modernity — is invoked equally to describe fishers from other parts of Tamil Nadu by state actors and inland communities.
The treatment of the ongoing anti-nuclear protests epicentred in the Paravar village of Idinthakarai provides a case in point. Fisher concerns regarding radiation, pollution and safety were summarily dismissed as the rantings of ignorant primitives. The state positioned itself as "scientific" and invoked the "folk" nature of the fisher community to relegate their concerns to the realm of nonsense. The stand-off between "science" and "folk" was most evident when fishers were blamed for being obstinate, unreasonable and unscientific for not changing their minds even after former President Abdul Kalam gave a clean chit to the nuclear plant. At various points, the anti-nuclear protests — and by implication, the fisherfolk — were projected by the state as being led by the "church," by some "foreign hand," and by "maoist" infiltrators.
Dismissing fishers as people without agency is a terrible folly, and this conclusion is forcefully argued in Ajantha's book. The author presents a comprehensive exploration of what agency actually means, and how Kanyakumari's fishers have manoeuvred and negotiated secular and religious spaces as deftly as they have moved in and out of patronage and rights.
Shorelines is peppered with examples that testify to the fact that loyalties are never permanent, never unconditional, and that things are not always what they appear to be. Some examples are downright amusing — for readers, if not for the subjects mentioned in the example. One example recounts the predicament of a parish priest who was nominated by the parish fishers to represent them in a negotiation with the Public Works Department regarding the construction of a bridge to their village. The priest's consent was not sought. Not only was he forced to represent them against his own will and convictions, the parishioners insisted that he wear his cassock to the meeting. The representative role of the priest, the book argues, is often a conscious choice exercised by fishers rather than "an automatic by-product of unquestioned clerical authority."
Those, like the reviewer, who are fascinated by all things coastal, will find chapters 3 to 6 particularly interesting. The changing attitude of the colonial and post-colonial state towards fishing, fishers and fish as a resource is effectively documented using a combination of historical research and ethnography. It is in these chapters that one sees the arrogance of "western science" and its literate practitioners at war with the perceived superstition, primitiveness and non-science of the artisan protesting against mechanised trawl and gillnetter boats. Unfortunately, trawlers as the "scientific method" stands exposed today as a major mistake as grounds after fishing grounds are becoming barren and bereft of fish. The artisanal fisher stands vindicated, though impoverished.War against trawlers
The deployment of trawlers in the seemingly inexhaustible seas was and continue to be resolutely opposed — often violently — by artisanal fisherfolk. Caste and community did not prevent the artisanal sector from banding together as a class to wage war against the wealthier minority of trawler owners from their own community.
The state hoped that the conflict would die down as more and more people shifted from artisanal methods to the more lucrative mechanised sector. But, the artisanal sector was not pushed into obsolescence as was predicted and hoped for by state actors. Far from it, it not just grew in size, but also succeeded in forcing a reluctant state to yield significant rights — be it territory in the form of a 3-mile exclusive artisanal fishing zone or special buses for fisher women. Rather than jump from 'kattumarams' to trawlers, artisanal fishers opted for the intermediate technology of motorising their traditional crafts. This allowed them to go further quicker, and more importantly to police their 3-mile territory and chase off errant trawler boats preying within their zone.
Chapter two "From the Inland Out" provides a basis for understanding the evolution of developmentalism in the coast — the subject of the rest of the book. This chapter deals with the agrarian interior and the assertion of agrarian low-castes – primarily, the Nadars – and their social mobility from erstwhile farm labourers to a powerful and influential mercantile class. Contrasting the entry of the inland subaltern into "modernity" with the persistent primitivity of the coastal subaltern, Ajantha explains "coastal marginality from the inland out."
Ajantha concludes by underscoring the importance of the shades of grey. She appeals for a "Gramscian understanding of subalternity that highlights a dialectical nature" and warns against a tendency to "maintain stark distinctions between religious and secular, spiritual and material."

The Old Town School of Folk Music teaches and celebrates music and cultural expressions rooted in the traditions of diverse American and global communities.
As we begin our 50th year in 2007, enrollment in Old Town School tuition programs averages close to 6,000 students per week, 2,700 of them children. The Lincoln Square and Lincoln Park facilities hold hundreds of classes and workshops in music, dance and art for adults, children and teens seven days per week, 48 weeks per year. Early childhood and middle school music programs thrive in three suburban branches as well as in several community outreach programs throughout the city. The School presents performances by internationally known touring artists, the best of Chicago's local artists and its staff and students virtually every weekend. Most Wednesday nights feature free concerts through AfroFolk Live and La Peña, popular and long established Community Programs. Some 85,000 come to these concerts and attend the Chicago Folk & Roots festival in nearby Welles Park annually.
Throughout our 50 year history, what has set the Old Town School of Folk Music apart from other music teaching programs has been the philosophy that music is for everyone. The founders wanted the School to be a place where, as founder Frank Hamilton said, "teacher and student would be partners in learning." This philosophy is still in place and the Old Town School continues to be a place that gives people the tools to make their own music. Young and old, beginners and advanced players, people from various cultures and traditions come together to create music and learn from each other.

In the ongoing race between national broadcast and cable
networks to show advertising revenue growth, the latter has
decidedly outpaced the former. Since TV ad spending started
emerging from the crater caused by the 2009 recession, according to
Kantar Media data, total annual ad spending on national broadcast
and cable networks has recovered from its nadir by about 18%. But
from January 2010 through March 2013, ad spending on cable networks
increased by 25% whereas ad spending on broadcast networks
increased by just 11%.
During those stretches when broadcast has the advantage of
airing the Winter or Summer Olympics, it sees a predictable,
cyclical surge of incremental ad spending that causes its growth
rate to briefly edge out cable's. Those stretches are temporary,
however, and the effects fade in the following non-Olympic years.
Over the long term, the pattern is clear and obvious.
Conventional wisdom attributes this gradual redistribution of
advertiser budgets to the drift of viewers from broadcast programs
to cable channels. While this migration certainly contributes to
the story, it's not the extent of it.
The underappreciated fact is that cable has been padding its ad
revenue by steadily inserting more paid commercial time into its
programming. ("Paid" time excludes pro bono PSAs and network
promos.) The volume of paid ads on cable has been rising between
2-3% each year; this basically translates into the annual addition
of one more 20-second spot per hour. Ultimately, this added volume
accounts for more than one-third of the total growth in cable ad
spending since the recession.
By comparison, ad time on the broadcast networks has been
trending flat to slightly lower, ranging from drop of 1.0% between
2010 and 2011 to a 0.2% increase from 2011 to 2012.
Between Q1 2012 and Q1 2013, cable increased its available paid
ad time by 2.0%, whereas broadcast shrank its available paid time
by 2.4%.
It's not just that cable is selling more commercials to paying
advertisers-promotional messages from the cable networks have been
multiplying at a comparable rate. The total amount of ads per hour
on cable is rising. Cable network advertisers may want to take note
that while they're buying into an environment that may be
efficiently targeted to their audiences, it's also increasingly

Vince McMahon posted a picture of himself in the gym on Twitter.
Now that she has given birth, Taryn Terrell has started working out, in order to get in shape for wrestling again.
Since he has one of the most impressive physiques in professional wrestling, an industry filled with well toned bodies, Scott Steiner has been asked for years about his workout program, so the former WCW star released a fitness DVD, which teaches beginning, intermediate and advanced level people.
"I have faith that CM Punk will end up as a major part of Wrestlemania 30. WWE is THE show, and Punk is a big enough part of THE show to be needed for Wrestlemania."
- Sean Waltman discusses the CM Punk departure
While he did not make an appearance during Royal Rumble 2014 as speculated, Sean Waltman, who canceled an appearance at an independent wrestling show, was said to be backstage at the event, where his good friend Kevin Nash made his return.
There is speculation that Sean Waltman could be a mystery entrant at Royal Rumble 2014 tonight, as the former WWE star canceled an appearance at an independent wrestling show in Virginia last night. Waltman also revealed that he was in Pittsburgh right now.
Sean Waltman revealed on Twitter that he was robbed while in Costa Rica. Apparently, his credit card was stolen by someone that he did a good deed for.
Several fans in England have been critical about the meet and greet with Sean Waltman, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash this week, as they feel that promoters started adding on additional charges at the last minute.
Former TNA knockout SoCal Val will be joining Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman at an autograph signing in England this week.

As alluded to in our Nexus 6 review, our normal storage performance benchmark was no longer giving valid results as of Android 5.0. While Androbench was not a perfect benchmark by any stretch of the imagination, it was a reasonably accurate test of basic storage performance. However, with the Nexus 5 on Android's developer preview, we saw anywhere between 2-10x improvement to Androbench's storage performance results with no real basis in reality. It seems that this is because the way that the benchmark was written relied upon another function for timing, which has changed with Android 5.0. While we haven't talked too much about AndEBench, it has a fully functional storage test that we can compare to our Androbench results. While we're unsure of the...

"Excellent selection, reasonable prices, and service that is extraordinary! I wanted a new setting for my engagement ring for my 40th wedding anniversary and I found it at Emma Parker & Co. I had some questions before ordering so I used the online form. I got a reply within a couple of hours! I wanted very specific customizations (e.g. upgraded color/clarity of side stones, needed setting modified to fit a larger center stone, etc.) and it was very comforting to deal with Tim. He answered all my questions and he consistently replied to my emails promptly-- usually on the same day. He let me know the day the ring was shipped and was happy to make arrangements for me to pick up the ring at a UPS customer center when I realized I would not be home to sign for the delivery. The ring is stunning... and even more beautiful in person. Great quality, beautiful design, free shipping, and most of all, being able to deal with someone who is knowledgeable and responsive. No worries about ordering diamonds online when you're dealing with Emma Parker & Co. Outstanding customer experience and a quality product that wows everyone who sees it."
"Excellent customer service and a beautiful ring could be happier. Tim was great with my requests and endless questions. He couldn't be more helpful and patient!"
"Emma Parker & Co is the best surprise I ever stumbled upon when searching for engagement rings. I had finally found the style of ring that I thought would be the perfect match and they did everything they could to make me happy. Whether it was quick responses to questions I had via email (even in the middle of moving they were emailing me within a couple hours) or picking out higher quality stones without breaking the budget so I would get an amazing deal. By far the most painless experience I ever thought possible when I first started looking for rings and read all the horrible reviews at the big chain places like Kay etc. Tim and his crew are the best. Emma Parker & Co are the best. Plain and simple."
"With my wife Andrea and I (Lloyd) would like to thank Tim and his company for giving and showing us the best service and best welcoming experience we had when we purchase our rings from him. We highly recommend EmmaParker and co for all that are looking for great and excellent experience ring shopping ever. Tim has exceeded our expectations and he delivered. He made our buying experience easy and relaxed Tim was no way pressured us nor forced us we made a choice our selves and we made that best decision because if Tim`s prodlfessionalism. Tim we can not thank you more you are the best there is in your industry and will recommend everyone we know to see you. EmmaParker&Co is the best. If you want to have the best ring on your finger get it from the best. EmmaParker&Co"
"First time an amazing 1/2 carat engagement ring. This time a stunning pair of 1/3 carat Solasfera earrings. I'm a repeat customer. Why? Great diamonds in lovely settings with great personal service.
Very responsive. They really take the time to communicate, by phone and email, to make sure you get the product you are shopping for."
"My gf gave me a small list of do's and dont's for qualities of a dream ring for her. I had one almost created through a different company until i stumbled across the perfect ring in a different cut on Emma Parker's website. I gave them a call and talked to Tim who was absolutely great to deal with! He said they could create custom rings no problem with any shape and size of stone I wanted and the halo around it to match. Oh, and did I mention I had a 3 week 6 day deadline for the date I wanted to propose on?? They and Sareen Jewelry (the brand of ring) created the ring and had it in my hands, from Washington to new Mexico in 3 week exactly! The ring turned out so beautiful and even better than I could imagine. It was a very unique ring and they were confident it would turn out great, and it did. It was perfect, according to myself and my new fiancée! She loved it! I am very impressed with Emma Parker & Co and will recommend them to anyone looking for amazing service and that perfect ring. It's not easy dealing with jewelry as your typical manly man but Tim was great and very helpful when it came to terminology and styling."
"I am so happy with the ring I ordered and appreciated the expedited service. I will recommend Emma Parker to other people!"
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Tim of Emma Parker & Co. I was looking for a setting for a newly-purchased emerald cut diamond and was having a hard time choosing one.
Tim was always patient, answering my endless questions, and offering valuable suggestions and recommendations. I never felt pressured or rushed, and appreciated Tim's honest and thoughtful responses to my questions.
Because my experience was so positive, I also sent an old round diamond to be reset. Both rings arrived today and I couldn't be happier. Tim was right - the setting was perfect for my diamond!
I would highly recommend Emma Parker & Co. and hope to do business with them again."
"My experience with Tim at Emma Parker & Co has by far been the best I have ever had with a jeweler! I was very apprehensive about placing an order of this significance online but Tim was extremely helpful and never pushy. He helped me make informed decisions that no other jeweler has ever taken the time to do. I looked at thousands of rings both locally and online and I was beginning to get frustrated. The local stores only wanted to sell me what they had in stock and were never eager to listen to what I wanted. Tim, however, worked patiently with me throughout the entire buying process. I would highly recommend Emma Parker & Co for your jewelry purchases!"
"I found Emma Parker & Co. during a search for ring settings after I couldn't find anything I liked in the local jewelry stores. When I requested information about a particular setting from the company's website, I expected to receive a reply in a couple of days. Imagine my surprise when I received a reply within couple of hours! Tim was fabulous about answering all my questions. He worked with me to come up with a custom design that was absolutely perfect. I am very picky and detail oriented and Tim was so patient with me during the design process, always responding to emails quickly. I was using my own diamond for the center stone and when I couldn't find anyone local who was willing to mount my stone in the new setting, Tim offered to set the stone for me at no charge. All I had to do was ship my ring to him and everything would be taken care of. He even paid the shipping. I never thought I would be comfortable sending my diamond to someone halfway across the country whom I had never met, but I had complete confidence after speaking with Tim. I cannot say enough what a positive experience this was for me. I am absolutely thrilled with the way my ring turned out. It was a fabulous 36th anniversary present!"
"I found Emma Parker through a referral from a friend. Everything about the Emma Parker experience was amazing. I worked directly with Tim and he supported me every step of the way.
To start, when I first contacted Tim, I had explained my price budget and also what I wanted in my custom ring. All other Jewelers I went to would offer me sub-par grade diamonds but Tim helped me find the perfect diamonds and then found a way to make my budget.
Then, as the ring was being designed, I was kept up to date on the progress and had the final say on how the ring should look. Every time I had a question and emailed Tim, I would have a response within 24 hrs. This made the ring buying experience a very personal one which I was not able to feel with any other place I looked.
When the ring came and after I had proposed, we felt the setting was a bit loose and called Tim right away. We dropped it off with him the next day and it was fixed free of charge within 2 days and he personally dropped it off at my work because I could not meet him at this office.
To keep this review short, Tim and Emma Parker was great to me. My experiences here was personable, memorable and overall very comfortable. I recommend them for any custom jewelry design. Thank you Emma Parker for making my ring buying experience a great one!"
"I cant say enough about Emma Parker & Co. I am a repeat customer, and each time I have recieved nothing less than the best service imaginable. Caring and courteous staff who truly invest their time and energy into each customer. It is refreshing to do business with a company that actually cares about people, not just money. When picking out a ring for my beautiful fiance, they actually suggested to me a moissanite center stone, which yielded them significantly less profit. But thats just the way Emma Parker & Co operates, it is all about the satisfaction of their customers. Lightning quick email responses...you will never have a question go unanswered. I whole-heartedly endorse Emma Parker & Co, and I will recommend them to anyone who listens!"
"I received the ring one afternoon and it is absolutely stunning!! I couldn't have hoped for anything more than what I have in my hands. I was in tears with joy and gratitude to see this star lit diamond on fire. This engagement ring was EXACTLY what I wanted. Both Tim and Dan really helped me out and Dan was so patient with my hesitance. I had concerns only because I was inexperienced and I couldn't see the diamond for myself. I will definitely refer people to Emma Parker & Co. Thank you so much guys! "
"I was very nervous about purchasing a diamond ring from an online retailer, but Emma Parker had exactly the ring I wanted and the best price for it. I worked with Dan and he just could not have been more helpful. Not only did he answer all my questions promptly and thoroughly, he really put my mind at ease through the whole process. When I received the ring last week, it surpassed my expectations. I never give a 5, but they get one."
"The only way to even begin to sum up my experience with Emma Parker Jewelers is to start with Danny.
Danny was in a word was "amazing". It is a rare experience to find someone who is genuinely as excited about your ring as you are. His sincerity and down to earth nature comes through in every email, every phone call. Danny walked us through the entire process with an honest, no-pressure approach.
But alas, as much as I could go on about how great Danny is, its the quality of ring that ultimately matters to the buyer. Here is my story:
The ring I purchased for my fiancée was two years in the making. I originally purchased her ring at another well-known on-line jeweler. I spent months shopping for that perfect diamond and settled on a marquise shape because of the many facets and sparkle it would radiate. Then came the setting and I asked myself "what setting would best show off this perfect stone?". Obviously a cathedral right? WRONG!
To all the guys reading .... here is the very important part so learn from my mistake. After selecting that perfect stone, and the setting to show it off I forgot to take into account the practicality of wearing the ring every day. With the pointed ends of the marquise and the cathedral setting this was literally a lethal weapon!
Fast forward 20 months later our search to solve this lethal problem landed us at Emma Parker who had the perfect solution. A relatively new type of setting known as 'tension' mounted.
Adam, the designer, took our diamonds and custom fit them to a tension set ring. The result was exquisite. The craftsmanship of the ring not only keeps the diamonds secured it actually shows the stone even better than the original setting.
Of course what engagement ring is complete without the wedding band to match? When Danny mentioned that they have wedding bands I requested to see some examples because there was none on their website. What he sent was very beautiful but was not our setting and a different shaped stone. He suggested I sketch out some ideas that we could send to Adam.
I needed a band that would not only adapt to the marquise shape but still maintain the clean, open design of the tension mount. Because we were designing something completely original this is where Danny stepped aside and had me work directly with Adam. Together we created an unique work of art. The two pieces fit together perfectly and look beautiful together. My fiancée couldn't have been happier with her one of a kind ring.
Thank you Emma Parker and especially Danny. It was a pleasure to have you involved in helping us create a lasting memory."

Great spot for Happy Hour. We had the pork sliders, Ahi Poke tacos and spicy tuna roll. All were excellent. Washed down with $4 Miller Lites.
Good view of San Diego and right by the ferry.
Excellent service, fantastic seafood (we had the sea bass and diver scallops), and beautiful setting on the bay. The concierge at the Westin Gaslamp recommended and ensured we had a great experience!
Peohe's for years had a good reputation, but it faltered for awhile -- WELL, IT'S BACK! Sitting over looking San Diego Bay on a gorgeous late summer day is terrific, but when you can factor in good food, excellent service, and reasonable prices for the portions, you have a real winner. Peohe's is back BIG TIME!
We all need an update from time to time, and Peohe's is about 10 years past due its' remodel. Their sagging interior has affected the food, service and strength of their drinks. If, however, you are looking for a room with a view - Peohe's doesn't disappoint. The city will be on full display from your dinner table.
The last time I visited Peohe's with friends we ordered the Blackened Ahi salad, which is a very good salad, but it was difficult to find the blackened ahi in the salad. A few years ago it was still a good salad with an impressive display of blackened ahi on top of it. Recently on October 26, 2014 we went...
My wife and I arrived around 1:30pm from an east coast flight, so a mid-afternoon lunch reservation seemed the perfect idea for our first stop in the San Diego area.
After a short drive across the Coronado Bridge, the restaurant was easy to find and has its own parking lot (with free 3 hour validation).
We enjoyed a couple of...
This is my second time at Peohe's in the last two months. Both times the service and food was very good. I recommend the Ahi Salad for $16.95. Peohe's was not crowded on either occasion.
We were seated outside, where we had an unobstructed view of the harbor. The restaurant has moveable umbrellas so we could sit in the sun...
I first went here at the recommendation of a good friend in college. I ended up going a couple more times and enjoyed each visit.
The food is good, the setting is romantic, but you really go for the view of San Diego harbor and downtown.
It's not cheap, but I didn't make regular visits out to Coronado, so it...
I was here for lunch with 7 others. We all had different entrees and several appetizers - all of which were very good. I really enjoyed the fish tacos that I had. Service was also very good.
Unique, beautifu resturaunt, fantastic views, great service - the concierge from the hotel made our reservation and told them it was a special occasion but forgot to mention it was our anniversary, but we were still pleasantly surprised with complimentary "VIP" seating right next to the waterfront glass, and our names actually printed on the menu ("Happy Easter to the...

CSKA Moscow chief Yevgeny Giner insists that the club are yet to receive an offer for top striker Seydou Doumbia.

The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international has been linked with a host of clubs and has bagged an impressive 24 goals in 30 games this season.
But Giner insists that they are yet to receive any bids for his prized asset.
"We haven't received any offers yet for Doumbia from the top clubs, because they play top dollar, so they want to see two or three years of stable football from the player, and not just stunning form for a year only for him to peter out," Giner told RIA Novosti.
"I think that if there will be any offers for Seydou, it will be in the summer of 2012."

What to serve with paella?
- c
- Cheesy Oysters Oct 23, 2007 11:53 AM
I'm making paella for guests and need a side dish. I have young kids so don't really want to do a separate salad or soup course. I have a really good chard recipe with currants and anchovies that I thought I could make but can anyone else come up with something better to go along with paella? I'm all set on apps and dessert.
Paella really stands on its own and I wouldn't introduce a lot of different flavors. The anchovies and currants sound good but would overwhelm the paella. If you want something green on the side other than a salad, how about some grilled lettuces (radicchio, endive, etc.) for color and flavor.
re: susan1353
Yep. Salad or other dishes before or after but the only thing you should serve with paella is a good young Spanish wine (dry white, rosé or medium-weight red) and plenty of it.
re: carswell
As others have said, paella traditionally has no accompaniement. But, if you need to serve one, then it doesnt matter what you serve as authenticity is no longer relevent.
re: Brit on a Trip
Agreed. Get some good bread with some Spanish Olive Oil. That is the only proper side dish i can think of.
brazilian collard greens?
it has bacon but usually the bacon taste doesn't overwhelm the dish just make it tastes better, as bacon has been known to do.
I recently made paella and I served it with fried pimentos de padron. If you cannot find these and are able to locate sweet italian green peppers they taste almost exactly the same.
Although I have to say a vinegary or lemony salad is really nice in complemementing the paella.
everytime my grandmother made paellea, and everytime i do, its always served with either a basic tossed salad, or my favorite, fresh sliced avocado drizzled all over with fresh garlicky limey mojo, and some red onion slivers...mmmm
also, some nice fried plantains...ripe or green
re: bbbron
I'd venture a guess that paella is not served w/ plantains in Spain - much as I love tostones. I think a nice salad would do the trick.
re: MMRuth
I'd venture a guess that, in Spain, you would never find paella served with anything!
I'd also venture a guess that that you would never see a plaintain served in a Spanish restaurant with anything (at least, not a restaurant serving Spanish food). You might see a banana served with Arroz a la Cubana - but it's not a requirement of the dish - and makes it even more vile than the basic version, IMO.
re: Brit on a Trip
while paella has its origins in spain, it is equally as prolific in the Spanish-colonized caribbean, and therefore serving it with something decidedly caribbean in nature doesnt detract from its all-gloried "authenticity."
besides, who says there are rules anyway? who says i cant serve some fresh vegetable gyoza along with my paella?
re: TSQ75
I think Brit on a Trip and I were just questioning the statement that "Authentically paella is served with fried plantains". I actually haven't noted paella as a prevalent dish in the parts of Latin America - and the Dominican Republic - that I've visited, other than in Spanish restaurants. And I agree, people can serve whatever they choose with it!
re: MMRuth
well, its quite a common dish in Cuba, DR, and PR...for a fact. even parts of coastal mexico. I and many others grew up with it.
much the same way alot of people are quite perplexed when i mention cuban, or dominican tamales.
re: MMRuth
asopao is sort of a stewy/soupy arroz con pollo. total comfort/peasant food.
check out this site...she's got lovely simple dominican recipes http://www.dominicancooking.com/
re: MMRuth
To me that is one of the tragedies of food from the Spanish speaking world; we kind of assume that it can be lumped together into one thing. I friend of mine offered take a buddy to a Spanish restaurant to which the buddy responded "Oh I love quesidillas!" Well in that instance the person was just very ignorant about the cuisine of Spain. But even here on this post we see something similar with the suggestion of plantains as an "authentic" side to paella. Nothing is less European and more Carribbean than plantains.
re: Chinon00
isnt colonization an amazing thing? lol
re: MMRuth
You're right, MMRuth, I was.
I've never travelled to the Caribbean but I do regularly visit Spain (it being only a couple of hours flying away).
re: TSQ75
Would a person from Spain recognize a Caribbean 'paella' as paella? It may be rice cooked with a variety of vegetables and meats, but if it doesn't use saffron, a short grain Spanish rice, or is cooked in a shallow pan over open fire, is it paella? I know that many parts of Latin America prefer to use a long grain rice cooked in a pilaf style (i.e. toasted with onion, peppers, etc).
I know the closest thing to paella that I saw in Ecuador (years ago) was 'arroz a la valenciana' - Valencia style rice. Arroz con camarones was also popular, but that was more like a simple shrimp fried rice.
re: paulj
No saffron - bijol or achiote replacement in the carribean. Certainly similar teqniques involved. I think paella refers to the pan in its original pure form.
There is an interesting pork and rice dish from the Alicante region - which finishes in the oven with an egg crust called smth like Arroz con Costra.
re: Brit on a Trip
Brit is right - fried plantains / bannanas are a traditional accompniment to arroz a la cubana - a different rice dish (with eggs over easy)- though it could be made in a paella pan qualifying it as a paella. (See Casas books)
I don;t know if anyone here has been to Fuerteventura or any of the canary Islands - but it is a staple crop here - so may be included amonf other rice dishes.
re: kare_raisu
coming from a cuban..I have NEVER heard of "Arroz a la cubana." lol
re: kare_raisu
no. saying i have never heard of a dish called "Arroz a la Cubana."
re: TSQ75
Google will get you about 50k hits. This is one:
No need to try the recipe. It is a truly unpleasant concept with or without banana.
re: Brit on a Trip
dude, i have seriously never had that! and my abuela never fixed it! lol
i do have a soft spot for plain leftover white rice with a fried egg on top...but its never had anything else! wow...
Well I was in Trader Joes and grabbed some artichokes. I was going to look for a endive recipe and then decided the chokes would be good as an app and veg. Thanks for your ideas.
also, i generally always begin the paella meal with a nice cheese selection, usually always with the traditional caribbean queso blanco, some nice crackers, and a small bowl of fruit preserves. it goes beutifully with a sharp white cheese. Quince is traditional spanish, guava is a nice creamy selection too.
re: Chinon00
Crusty rolls with a nice garlic Aoli.
re: stevuchan
Why would you need any more starch with all that rice is my question?
re: Chinon00
which is why, while i love tostones, i generally put out a platter of fresh sliced avocados or tomatoes, drzzzled with lovely mojo
re: Chinon00
Because it tastes good? If you ever have the opportunity try tacos de papas (potato tacos) or if you are really lucky - a tamal torta (mexican miner food - tamal in between a roll).
re: kare_raisu
But paella is a rice dish and not a taco or sandwich. It would be like serving dinner rolls with shrimp fried rice or a risotto.
re: Chinon00
i say its whatever makes you happy
re: Chinon00
easy now - you wrote 'nothing' -come on the guy is just looking for ideas.
re: kare_raisu
Yes, but to me "ideas" must go beyond personal whim and be based in some erudition. When I suggest "nothing" it is due to the fact that paella is comprised typically of pork and chicken and seafood and peas and rice all swimming is a deep rich broth of saffron. There is nothing naked about this dish. There is no need for compliment or contrast other than a nice glass of wine and good company.
Sure we can do what we like and suggest what we want but the educated choice to accompany paella is "nothing".
re: Chinon00
I have to say I agree with you - when I make paella - thats all I have on the table. However, I doubt you can make the claim of 'nothing' as being an 'educated' choice when the OP is specificially asking for side dishes.
re: kare_raisu
I simply do not believe that "nothing" is an unreasonable side dish for paella. And particularly when it is part of a multi-course meal.
re: Chinon00
Would it be correct to say that Americans think in terms of a main dish and sides, especially for home cooked meals, while Spanish are more likely to serve the items in separate courses?
re: paulj
No. Spaniards would usually serve, say, potato and veg on the same plate as the protein - as we do in most of the rest of Europe. The multi-course meal is really only a feature of Italian cuisien, with the anti-pasta, pasta, main, etc (leaving aside the mezze dishes of the Eastern Mediterranean countries)
re: Chinon00
Its a rich rice dish - plain bread may serve to cut this richness but this could also be done with a plain vegetable. By no means the only choice.
The idea with those examples is 'carb-on-carb' : I like the idea - especially due to the historical and sometimes not so historical poverty angle of cuisine.
re: kare_raisu
I know for certain that their are recipes in Spain with potatoes cooked with rice for what its worth.
re: kare_raisu
In my experience, bread is ALWAYS served alongside meals in Spain.
re: Brit on a Trip
Well that is just dandy because my other app other than the artichokes and aoli is toast points with ricotta mixed with some freshly ground black pepper and proscuitto. I decided to just serve the paella as the main with no sides. Didn't really want a side just didn't want to do a soup or salad course. I'm happy with apps instead. Dessert is pear and apple crisp with ice cream.
re: Cheesy Oysters
That sounds delicious! Hope you didn't mind our heated debate on the issue!
re: MMRuth
Not at all. The first time I made paella in my 15" paella pan, it came out the best. The last two times is has been dryer that I like. Maybe it is because I used cut up chicken the last two times instead of a whole fryer. Next time I'm going to go with boneless skinless thighs.
re: Cheesy Oysters
I went to a cooking class/demo for a paella dinner a while back and the chef made camarónes con ajo served over croustade as an appetizer. None of us had any problems devouring the food and none of the flavors conflicted.
re: cauxier
No green peppers in the tortilla? I can smell now.
