tysons chain hell
- n
- nolikechains Jan 20, 2012 12:22 PM
greetings. anyone know any good stand alone joints not connected to a national chain or a mall in the area? desperately seeking something that doesn't require parking at a mall or choosing from a 25 page menu of low quality food.
Nostos (Boone Bvd). has had some decent reviews. We haven't been but plan to go.
My wife is partial to Cafe Deluxe, which is connected to a furniture store across the street from the Tysons mall. I like the food but it's too loud for me.
Woo Lae Oak is a nice Korean place on Rte 7 near Rte. 123. There are cheaper Korean places with food just as good, but not right at Tysons.
re: msr3017
thank you. love woo lae oak. cafe deluxe is ok i guess. nostos looks wonderful. will definitely check that out.
re: nolikechains
That is a tall order!
I was meeting a friend for lunch in Tysons (my turn to choose the restaurant) right before Christmas and wanted to steer clear of malls, so we went to Maplewood Grill in Vienna - not too far from Tysons, and it is in a shopping center, but not a mall. Been there several times and like it a lot - neighborhood gem kind of place.
I like Miyagi (sushi) in McLean. I've never been to Da Domenico, but hear good things about it.
Good luck!
re: nolikechains
We went to Nostos a few months ago. Food and service were great, but the place is incredibly noisy.
re: msr3017
I just realized the restaurants are gone. No map on the right side. No autolinks.
We need to put in place some helpful hints, like please add a road or town:
"Nostos (Boone Bvd)" when googled will get you the resto despite the mispelling.
If you're willing to spend a bit more money, Michel in the Ritz Carlton is quite wonderful. That's Michel Richard's suburban outpost.
I can also recommend Bombay Tandoor, an Indian restaurant west of Tysons. The food is always good, but several of the waiters are clueless. When we've had an incident -- last time our waiter added a tip to the bill although this is not the practice of the restaurant and we were only a party of four -- we swear never to go back. However, this serves the best Indian food in a reasonable drive from our home.
re: Indy 67
michel is great, but overpriced. will def check out bombay tandoor, thanks
re: dining with doc
The Palm fits the request perfectly! Seriously, Deluxe is far too loud and is part of a local chain.
Nostos is a good bet for Greek and seafood along with Tachibana in the center of McLean. There is an upscale Italian eatery in McLean called Osteria Assiagi which is significantly above the competition in the area. All three have plenty of free, non-mall parking, offer menus focused on high quality ingredients (the "less is more" philosophy vs. Cheesecake Factory) that are easily navigated and offers pleasant ambiance, good service and very good food.
Nostos can be loud when its filled (its a small room) but the other two are more muted with a full house.
re: dining with doc
The Palm never feels like a chain, but the two in our area are actually part of a nationwide chain with some limited international locations. I was once surprised to discover there are approximately 30 Palm restaurants.
re: Indy 67
yes it is a chain but I agree that at least the DC and Tysons versions do not seem chain-like and who cares...the quality of food and the service are excellent!
re: dining with doc
Actually, the OP seems to care. His name and his post suggest that he cares deeply.
re: Dennis S
What Hot Pot place is this? Is there a name or address?
re: mookleknuck
Sounds like Uncle Lui's, as he says, on Gallows Road between Lee Highway (Rt 29) and Arlington Boulevard (Rt 50), first big strip shopping center as you go south from Lee Highway. Big sign for Unique (which I always read as Junque) a thrift store.
re: Dennis S
Thanks very much, MikeR and Dennis S!
Right in the Tysons area is Food Corner which takes a back seat to no one regarding Afghan kabobs.
As others have pointed out already, a short drive could put you at some very good places.
If you are wiling to go to Vienna, I'd go to Rose Kabob for Persian food - especially the beef stew with eggplant (gheymeh). Also great are the torshi, garlic torshi, tahdeeg, mast-o-khir and the
homemade doogh.
re: Steve
I wonder if it's the same Afghan chain that's at Dulles Town Center. They are good and have a number of places, including a stand alone in Herndon. However, during winter months, mainly, when going to the mall, I definitely make the kabob place MY stop at least (even if the girls want something else).
On the top of Tyson's hill and great Italian if you can find how to get there...
The restaurant in the Tysons Hilton called Harth. Have only been there once - its a beautiful restaurant, food was good but nothing to rave about.
re: DCDOLL
Actually, Seasons 52 is a chain. They have restaurants in several cities in Florida, Georgia, the midwest, the northeast, even one in California and another local one in Rockville (that part that's now euphemistically called "North Bethesda".) I counted 22 on their web site.
re: kriscolby
Second Thai Pilin. It is a bit of a hole in the wall, but the food has a nice home-cooked feel to it, and the line is out the door at lunch for carry-out for a good reason.
re: PollyG
Any favorite items? How about the "Grillers"?
re: GraydonCarter
There's a lamb dish that is excellent. This will sound odd, but a lot of their daily specials have a very homey stinky garlic-fish sauce as a major flavor, which I like a lot.

Police panel takes over department
Date: April 1, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
APRIL FOOLS — With its six-month run coming to an end in May, Police Advisory Panel members had been getting antsy, wondering what they were going to do next.
At an emergency meeting this week, the panel came up with an answer — it will become the first board of directors of the Sarasota Police Department.
The Police Advisory Panel was created to come up with recommendations on better policies and procedures for the police department.
Its main recommendation was that it be in charge of the department.
Panel Chairwoman Susan Chapman said the panel felt it was the best way for it to keep an eye on police activities permanently.
In another first for the department, there will be two chiefs of police. The panel voted unanimously to name Chapman co-chief of police. She will serve along with Chief Peter Abbott. The exact split of duties will be determined at a later date, but The Sarasota Observer has learned that initial discussions have the sworn-in officers answering to Chapman, while the panel will place Abbott in charge of scheduling, maintaining the fleet of vehicles and caring for the K-9s.
Chapman said she looks forward to working with Sarasota's officers and that she believes the new organizational structure will create a better department.
City attorney Robert Fournier found nothing in the city's charter that prohibits an advisory panel from taking over the police department.

So my name is Jordan. Lately I've been having trouble connecting to my router. And as of today I just installed my new one. So for the past month when I try playing a game I would get booted off and League would fail to reconnect every single time. So I now can't play until the 14th due to AFKing or Leaving. This enrages me because I put money into my account and my brother is back from the service and I just want to play a few games with him before he gets stationed again. If any of you can help me please please do so. League is one of the only things I have to bond with my brother and it would really help if I can get unbanned for just a few days so I can enjoy my time with him!! Please try and help out. Thank you all --Jordan!!

You're unlikely to get much help here, there's nothing any of us can do to change your situation. What you want to do is either A ) make a support ticket to Riot and explain the situation, and they might give you the benefit of the doubt and shorten the ban... or B ) make a new account to get around the ban... you'd be limited in runes/masteries/champions, but you could still play.
Those are really your only options, there's not much else you can do.
Really darn I'm level 30 and I don't know how everyone one says Riot is great company. Every time I have a problem it's either no we can't do anything or no we don't believe you. I'm giving up on this account then Riot is not one to take care of customers. Playing Warframe from now on... --sincerely Jordan
They do take care of their customers... by weeding out chronic leavers. Playing either side of a 4v5, even the occasional 3v5, ruins the game. Looking at your game history, this is at least your 3rd 1-week ban. You won't find much sympathy with that track record.
BECAUSE MY ROUTER DROPS ME FROM THE GAME. I just got a new one and I have my games actually run smooth but now I can't even try for a week
Damned Scholar
Why did you keep trying to play games when you knew that your router was fail-prone? You keep acting like you had no part in it when you just said that it happened over a month's time. It's no secret that chronic disconnects result in suspensions.
Because I was led to believe the problem was resolved. Time Warner Cable increased my internet speed 2 different times I've gotten 2 new routers since this newest one, but they all had problems. Sorry if I come off as ungrateful but I sincerely tried and I had thought it would have worked
So you don't think you guys can help me :/ well that's fine I thought Riot took care of customers but I guess not. Thank you all for your help, enjoy the new year

The Hollywood Gossip Caption Contest 81by Free Britney at . Comments
Welcome, celebrity gossip and news readers, to The Hollywood Gossip's Caption Contest - the 81st edition of our weekly, Friday afternoon tradition!
When a hot pair of American Idol hopefuls, Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey, react to a startling piece of news, funny captions abound. But none better and more timely than the one sent in by omg. Check out the winning entry below!
"Carrie prejean posed topless?"
Danny: Did you take our cake out of the oven?
Allison: I thought you did.
Alison: I'm Pregnant
Allison: "Adam's gay?? I've been hitting on him!"
Danny: "He's what??? I showered with him!!!!"
Danny: You need to hold your jaw like this, so it doesn't lock up when you're going down on a guy. Allison: So that's how you beat me
"Allison, is it true that 'red on top' means a girl has 'fire in the hole?'" "Not always, Gokey. The only sure-fire way for this gal to have 'fire in the hole' is when I dip my dildo in Tabassco sauce before cramming it into my juice box."

- Studio: Rogue Pictures
- Release Date: Sep 22, 2006
- Starring: Jet Li
- Summary: Jet Li's Fearless reunites the actor and marital arts superstar with producer Bill Kong ("Hero") and action choreographer Yuen Wo Ping ("Unleashed") as he portrays martial arts legend Huo Yuanjia, who became the most famous fighter in all of China at the turn of the 20th Century. (Rogue Pictures)

Score distribution:
Positive: 20 out of 24
Mixed: 4 out of 24
Negative: 0 out of 24
Much of the film's virtue lies in its straight-ahead narrative and uncomplicated morality. That and the undeniable charisma and virtuosity of its star.
Though it somehow manages to be a movie about inner peace with crazy, incredibly staged fight scenes every 10 minutes, it is, first and foremost, a movie about inner peace.
Contrary to some reports, this is not Jet Li's last action movie--he already has another in postproduction--but it represents his farewell to wushu, the martial-arts tradition that made him an international star.
The theme behind Fearless is utterly simplistic, but universal: violence begets violence. It's a never ending cycle that becomes more and more vicious, until someone decides to stop it. It's a worthy final installment.
A lavish biopic that gives Li one of his juiciest roles but is relatively light on the action his fans have come to expect.
This is an action movie, and people don't come to be preached to; the "Terminator" flicks also favored world peace but didn't pause the action for nearly an hour to rub it in.
Score distribution:

PatE.Nov 16, 2006Yes this movie is very good...I thought it was rather excellent until I realized that it lacked the proper closing. If they came up with a better ending than it would have been the best martial arts movie hands down!… Expand
DanaM.Sep 24, 2006Entertaining and worth the $9 to see the movie. My wife wasn't that thrilled with the violence. Great fight scenes if thats your bag. Subtitles but not a whole lot of dialogue. Jet Li is a remarkable athlete and does a good job on the acting as well.… Expand

Quintessential star Elizabeth Taylor dies at 79
"Hell, I even voted for her," Reynolds later said.
Greater drama awaited: "Cleopatra." Taylor met Burton while playing the title role in the 1963 epic, in which the brooding, womanizing Welsh actor co-starred as Mark Antony. Their chemistry was not immediate. Taylor found him boorish; Burton mocked her physique. But the love scenes on film continued away from the set and a scandal for the ages was born. Headlines shouted and screamed. Paparazzi, then an emerging breed, snapped and swooned. Their romance created such a sensation that the Vatican denounced the happenings as the "caprices of adult children."
The film so exceeded its budget that the producers lost money even though "Cleopatra" was a box-office hit and won four Academy awards. (With its $44 million budget adjusted for inflation, "Cleopatra" remains the most expensive movie ever made.) Taylor's salary per film topped $1 million. "Liz and Dick" became the ultimate jet set couple, on a first name basis with millions who had never met them.
They were a prolific acting team, even if most of the movies aged no better than their marriages: "The VIPs" (1963), "The Sandpiper" (1965), "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966), "The Taming of the Shrew" (1967), "The Comedians" (1967), "Dr. Faustus" (1967), "Boom!" (1968), "Under Milk Wood" (1971) and "Hammersmith Is Out" (1972).
Art most effectively imitated life in the adaptation of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" - in which Taylor and Burton played mates who fought viciously and drank heavily. She took the best actress Oscar for her performance as the venomous Martha in "Virginia Woolf" and again stole the awards show, this time by not showing up at the ceremony. She refused to thank the academy upon learning of her victory and chastised voters for not honoring Burton.
Taylor and Burton divorced in 1974, married again in 1975 and divorced again in 1976.
"We fight a great deal," Burton once said, "and we watch the people around us who don't quite know how to behave during these storms. We don't fight when we are alone."
In 1982, Taylor and Burton appeared in a touring production of the Noel Coward play "Private Lives," in which they starred as a divorced couple who meet on their respective honeymoons. They remained close at the time of Burton's death, in 1984.
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in London on Feb. 27, 1932, the daughter of Francis Taylor, an art dealer, and the former Sara Sothern, an American stage actress. At age 3, with extensive ballet training already behind her, Taylor danced for British princesses Elizabeth (the future queen) and Margaret Rose at London's Hippodrome. At age 4, she was given a wild field horse that she learned to ride expertly.
At the onset of World War II, the Taylors came to the United States. Francis Taylor opened a gallery in Beverly Hills and, in 1942, his daughter made her screen debut with a bit part in the comedy "There's One Born Every Minute."
Her big break came soon thereafter. While serving as an air-raid warden with MGM producer Sam Marx, Taylor's father learned that the studio was struggling to find an English girl to play opposite Roddy McDowall in "Lassie Come Home." Taylor's screen test for the film won her both the part and a long-term contract. She grew up quickly after that.

Moreland Hearing Moved After Criticism by David Howard King, Sep 20, 2013 Twitter The Moreland Commission on Public Integrity has announced it will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 24, in meeting room 6 of the Empire State Plaza in Albany.

It's about 22% no more!

Leicester, Unite...
I have finally finished my GCSEs and to celebrate I gladly threaded up my sewing machine for the first time in months. I am going on holiday to Malta in two weeks (so excited!) so I thought it would be perfect to make a kaftan. I based the kaftan on the Sunny resort blouse and the Burda Silk Caftan, however, I did find the Burda instructions very confusing and hard to follow:( The sunny resort blouse instructions were brilliant though. I added a v-neckline so the kaftan was cooler to wear. I love the outcome and I can't wait to wear it on my summer holiday
To make the kaftan, I used chinese cotton bought from my local market and I used beading for the neckline.

love the trim!

Nice beach coverup. I hope you enjoyed it on your holiday. I like the neckline trim you added. I'm in the middle of trying to sew up the kaftan for my beach holiday too.

Is there any datepicker UI elements that I can use on my iphone application? Native one is found to be too big.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Maybe the right question is why is it too big? Apple has done a pretty good job of making a set of controls that apply for most circumstances, look stylish, and are usable by the user.
The default control is the size of the iPhone keyboard, and it was made this way for a very good reason: all elements are easily viewable and selectable by touch. If you have a lot of UI elements making life difficult, consider displaying the selected date/time in a label and edit it in a modal dialog.

Looks like SUPG is up in pre market trading. I like the volume that has traded between 5.40-5.70. Let's just see some good news and the support is in place for a nice run.
i agree, the chart is showing the most important and valuable indication of further upside to come. THe "GOLDEN CROSS". 50MA crossing the 200MA! This is very bullish! Accum/dist is very positive, shooting straight up with the pps breaking out from the top bollinger band! Could see this make its way past 6.00 very soon. Look at the 3 yr chart, notice what happened the last time the 50MA crossed the 200MA! :)

Michael feels package shrink painfully as Dell freezes salary
Michael Dell may have to hold off on those gold taps for the bathtub in the corporate jet, or set his sights on a slightly less horizon-girdling Texan ranch after seeing his total compensation tumble at the company which bears his name. The founder and CEO at Dell, the firm he plans to take private again, saw his package shrink …
"Transforming the company into an enterprise tech vendor is probably better done behind closed doors"
With the shitty margins in commodity PCs sinking deeper every year, going the enterprise way may be the only chance of survival for Dell.
At least the guy shows lots of confidence in the company he created, and want to bet some his own money on it. Kudos to him*.
*Though I've never been a fan of Dell's kit.
Most executives are paid multiple times too much!
Quite frankly most corporate executives should be on 10% or less of their salary, /including/ bonuses and perks.
Most are disgustingly over paid! This is not envy, it is because it is a colossal waste of money and a significant cause of corruption.
Saw his package shrink?!?!?
Oooo, that's gotta hurt!
Oh wait, you meant money, didn't you. Never mind.
There is absolutely no-one, anywhere in the known universe, worth this sort of money. It is obscene, and the sooner it is stopped, the better.

Deep brain stimulation could change eating behaviors
Four years ago, three Allegheny General Hospital neurosurgeons took a deep brain stimulation procedure, used to treat Parkinson's disease, and applied it to morbidly obese patients who had failed to lose weight.
This week in Berlin, Dr. Michael Oh presented their findings to the International Neuromodulation Society's 11th World Congress.
In western Pennsylvania, one of his partners in the experiment explained.
"There are three of us who have done this research, which is stimulation of the hypothalamus to try to control weight and change metabolism," Dr. Don Whiting said.
The participants had tried exercise, diet, medication and gastric bypass surgery and still remained morbidly obese. They were all at least 100 pounds heavier than their ideal weight.
Dr. Whiting used a plastic model of the brain to show how surgeons cut a small hole in the skull and pass the electrode through the brain tissue so that it almost divides the brain, but does not cut it.
The electrode is controlled by a device that is similar to a pacemaker. The doctors would adjust stimulation to modify the metabolism of the participants. They lost 30 to 50 pounds.
"The main goal of the study was to prove safety, and there were no problems for four years," Whiting said.
But the metabolism modifications did not hold, and the participants regained all weight they lost.
So Whiting says the experiments will continue, and it will be years before this procedure can be considered a standard option to be considered for weight loss.

9/11, Google & The Internet
As everyone knows, today is the 8th year anniversary of the terrible 9/11 attacks. Many people, companies and organizations are doing things to remember the day. A lot of people are asking why there is no logo from Google for today. The quick answer is that Google does not do Google Doodles (aka logos) for sad days like this, they typically only do these types of logos for happier occasions.
But that does not mean Google is not doing anything. They have partnered up with several organizations and companies to bring together a web site named Make History at 911history.org. The site has a storytelling sharing tool that uses the Google Maps API to display Google's Street Views. It allows "people to place and then share their photos and videos in geographical context, collectively piecing together the history that was witnessed, one photo and video at a time," Google said. The site is also hosted on Google's cloud computing environment, Google App Engine.
On the logo front, both Microsoft Bing & Ask.com have used meaningful background images for their home pages. Here are pictures:
Clearly, the Yahoo home page has news and images for the day. Plus Gary Price at ResourceShelf has compiled a comprehensive list of how the Internet is remembering the day.

After the CIA military coup in 2002 that tried to overthrow the government of Venezuela and assassinate democratically elected President Hugo Chavez all the radio and TV stations mentioned in the article were guilty of treason by joining the coup. Justice has finally caught up to these traitors. America has done the same thing since World War II and worse yet adopted the facist policy of torture by our military and CIA. Hurray for President Chavez who singlehandedly stopped the FREE TRADE PONZI scheme that lost America $13 TRILLION in trade deficits since 1991. Yes, President Chavez has saved 3 million good paying American jobs since he was elected. Thank God for President Chavez. We pray for his deliverance from the neo con facists in America.
Cubazuela should be so lucky as to have the CIA deign to free its thinking citizens from the tragic destiny of becoming Cuba's cash cow and replication mould, much the way the AIDS virus infects its prey to spread its disease, in this case, freedom-smothering communism.
I am all for Chavez turning the screws to the venezuelan masses. People will only take so much. The road ahead for Chavez to remain in power will be hard. The economy is in the tank. Inflation is rampant and will get worse. A currency devaluation is around the corner or else....The trade freeze with Colombia cannot be easily switched to Brasil & Argentina as he states.The food shortages are a daily headache for the masses.Frozen prices are killing private producers and the state cannot deliver except thru more imports.I advise BillyHewitt to go to Venezuela and lend a hand.
Why do "ordinary citizens" in Venezuela have access to tear gas so that they can harass opposition radio stations?
Why do FARC terrorist have access to venezuelan army military hardware?
I bet Hugo knows.
To the Economist:
Better be careful with your Venezuela correspondent. Maybe they'll throw him/her in jail for 4 years.
The lights are going out. Internet access will be next. I suppose nutters like BillyH will approve!
I have to wonder whether or not history will be critical to the US, for having let this idiot come to power and establish himself as a dictator. Chavez doesn't have near the votes that Hitler did, yet we devastated Germany in the process of removing him from power.
As far as reporting Hugo Chavez is concerned, Economist editors do not know how to spell the word "objectivity". For avoidance of doubt, I believe that the new law proposed by Chavez is wrong and would backfire and should thrown into the bin.
But I do find it quite laughable attempts by the Economist editors to cast the opposition media owned by the discredited Miami-loving corrupt anti-Chavez political elite as a regular benign media group dedicated to holding government accountable to the people. Opposition media in Venezuela is anything but the "Fourth Estate", it is collection of unscrupulous operators whose main aim is not to report facts, but to set a political agenda that can return the corrupt political elite back to power so that they can resume their 70-year rule that Chavez annoyingly interrupted in 1999.
Most opposition radio and TV broadcast slander, libel and insults which would land its owners in jail in the USA for contravening regulations set by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Would a conservative American Channel (say FOX News) broadcast statements calling for Barack Obama to be lynched? The answer is "No" and even if it did so, the FCC would intervene. In Venezuela, Globovision TV had a guest saying that about Chavez.
The Economist claims or implies that Venezuela is increasing moving towards a "monologue". While this might be President Chavez's ultimate dream, this will be impossible to achieve given the near complete dominance of the opposition media in Venezuela.
RCTV, a notorious channel which supported the 2002 military coup (a treasonable offence)and regularly broadcast outrageous statements that would not be tolerated by FCC in media-friendly USA, may no longer have licence for terrestrial broadcasting in Venezuela, but its cable TV viewing audience still outstrips that of Pro-Chavez State TV. Even if Globovision were to switch from terrestrial to cable TV broadcasting, it is unlikely that State TV will dominate.
I think it is time for Western Media to exercise some objectivity and reduce bias when reporting happenings in Nations in the Southern Hemisphere. What is happening in Venezuela is not a "Black and White" straight-forward case as it is been potrayed. Chavez should get rid of that media law, but the opposition Venezuelan private media should turn a new leaf. It is not wrong to criticize Chavez Government and hold it accountable to Venezuelans, but it is wrong, irresponsible and "Junk Journalism" to broadcast hate, slander and defamatory messages... I rest my case.
TO ALL OBJECTIVE ECONOMIST READERS: NOW HERE BELOW IS A TYPICAL INVERSION Of VALUES FOR WHICH ALL COMMUNISTS ARE KNOWN -- "RCTV, a notorious channel which supported the 2002 military coup (a treasonable offence)-- Treasonable? Laughable. It is the Chavurro government which is the treasonable one, by turning the country over to the communist government of Cuba. History will show that Globovisión and any other media backing that backed the coup against totalitarianism did the right thing, standing up to defend their country, freedom and future. Unfortunately, they lost, and the dishonour and shame has been so great that many people, mostly young and not militant in any party, have exiled themselves and given up their nationality, rather than admit that for the first time in its history, Venezuela has not only fallen to another country, and ochlocratic Cuba at that, but to the most inhuman system of repression ever invented: Communism. It is not for nothing that vox populi has rebaptised the country: Cubazuela. Shame, shame, shame. It will take centuries for real, free, thinking Venezuelans to live this shame down.
there is no need for you to re-invent McCarthyism and I am no communist or even socialist. You have not challenged the issues that were raised in my comments which for avoidance of doubt, is not necessarily pro-Chavez, but pro-Fairness and pro-Objectivity.
I guess we both agree that Chavez's media law is wrong, but we obvious don't agree that Venezuelan private media should behave responsibly. It is shameful that you believe that it is okay for a media network to call for the assasination of its democratically elected leader or call for him to lynched or claim that he is Hitler or actively campaign for an insurrection in Venezuela.
Venezuela is not in anyway a communist state at all. The corrupt political elite that ruled that nation for 70 years and control these irresponsible media organisations, still own their ranches, mansions, shops, hotels. They even still visit their playground and shopping centres in Miami, Florida. I have not heard that the properties of these corrupt elite have been seized and redistributed as it should be in a Communist State. Your only "evidence" of communism in Venezuela is Hugo Chavez's friendship with the communist dictatorship in Cuba. Now tell me, does America's support of pro-Western dictatorships in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Oman, etc, mean that USA is now a dictatorship or that women's rights in America is being curtailed as in Saudi Arabia?
Jeremiah, it would be a good idea if you challenge my opinions with reasonable facts. Please there is no need for insults or McCarthyism. No need to behave like those nasty broadcasters at RCTV or Globovision.
I clearly see that most of the persons commenting this article do not live in Venezuela. For instance, and I quote: "Would a conservative American Channel (say FOX News) broadcast statements calling for Barack Obama to be lynched? The answer is "No" and even if it did so, the FCC would intervene. In Venezuela, Globovision TV had a guest saying that about Chavez". This person does not say that the interviewer reprehended that guest (by the way, a journal editor) because what he said was illegal here in Venezuela; this person does not say that TV or radio stations are accountable for the opinions of their guests. Do things work like that in any other civilized country? That's killing the messenger!
I have not seen any comments on this article about the verbal abuse in State radio and TV stations against not only opposition but citizen who simply do not express support for Mr. Chavez. Those verbal abuses, including defamation, are committed every single day in shows on State radio and TV stations. Please pay attention: I'm saying STATE not GOVERNMENT stations: Government has no TV or radio stations. State stations are funded by taxes of all Venezuelans, they belong to all Venezuelans, not to the government, and all Venezuelans should be treated respectfully in those stations.
I also see a very common mistake in terms of political concepts. Mr. Chavez claims to be a Socialist but, do his actions support those words? Obviously not. Mr. Chavez is the classic Latin American military fascist we have frequently seen in past decades. Does anybody remember Mussolini's speeches? Does anybody remember Hitler's speeches? Where did Mussolini come from? Socialist party. What was the name of Hitler's party? National-Socialist. Were those characters Socialists? Mr. Chavez is politically just like them: his words sound left-winged, his actions are ultra-right-winged. His friendship with Castro? He only wants one thing from Castro: Advise on how to remain eternally in power.
We'll see more news on the next days: Electoral Law, Education Law, for instance. We'll have to wait and see...
Is President Chavez the same man that is defending corrupted former President Zelaya? Is this the man that heads a so called democracy? In Central America we are quite proud that in Honduras has initiated the end of the Chavez Era. We do not need nor will allow corrupt leaders such are Chavez, Kikchner,Ortega, Correa nor Morales. We the people are to fight these corrupt, clumsy individuals that are concern only about their agendas and ignoring the population in need of jobs and education. Comandante Chavez is certainly heading for disaster, and you know what? he will destry himself.
all collectivists eventually have to turn against freedom. Hugo's radicalization has just sped up the process, media must be shut down because they are getting in the way of the revolution. And nothing can stop what "the people"(read:Hugo) want.
Tell me what you mean when you say that "We are the people to fight these corrupt,clumsy individuals...". Who are the "We"? Does this "we" include the corrupt opposition elite that ruled Venezuela for 70 years with nothing to show for it apart from owning chains of houses, businesses and media networks and going with their families to Miami for shopping sprees while poor venezuelans remained without education when they (the elite) were in power?
If the "we" you have in mind is a new generation of spotless non-corrupt politicians with good ideas to sell to the teeming masses of Latin America then you have my support. But i doubt that this what you have in mind since you support the undemocratic removal of President Zelaya from power. I put it to you that you simply wish to restore the old privileged corrupt elite back to power in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Honduras by any means possible including through military coups.
Comrade Chima, you keep revealing your red undies. By repeating your mantra about 70 years of corruption and nothing to show you keep including Pérez Jiménez (crime rate 0.00002 %, construction of most of the country's infrastructure, freedom to travel, rising middle class, country on its way to being Singapore and not Cuba) the country's who did more for that country in his less than 10 years in power than anyone before or after him combined. Naturally he deposed the commies who were in power then, so that gets all your red hormones off into fireworks. Plus you keep revealing this hatred for Miami and its malls, as well as for anything American, a clear signal that you are singing to Castro's violin. Why not just take off your mask for the freedom-hating communist that you are and supporter of all these Big Brothers, including Fidel, who was called Bola de Churre (greaseball) in his college years owing to his antisocial habit of not bathing and consequent insufferable body odour? Why the mention on this disgusting fact? Because it's telling! Hasn't that bearded devil turned his island into one giant, foul-smelling greaseball? Isn't that exactly what Chavurro will do with Cubazuela? How dare you include the great Pérez Jiménez, whose times I lived, in your little red book of black-legend propaganda? You do the adecopeyanos a great favour by doing so, since being pink as they were, they hated him too. PJ was making that country the envy of all Latin America, then the socialist AD and Copei came around with their cheap populism to destroy it, and your commie Chavurro to bury it. Take off that cheap mask Chima, let us see your crimson face.
Jeremiah, you certainly live up to your pseudo. I'm fascinated just standing on the sidelines here. You're obsessed with Hades and Sodom and Gomorrah and bordellos and greaseballs, and fetid gruel and whether or not Socrates had smellier armpits than Fidel. I'm surprised Diogenes didn't come under your raking fire since he hardly had all mod cons in his tub, the cynical fellow. Batista's second government was corrupt and ruthless a más no poder, and Cuba was certainly the bordello of the Americas, and fetid to boot. Revolutions are like earthquakes; they don't just happen for no particular reason. And you say Fidel or Hugo or Cubazuela or whatever "has" Nicaragua. You may or may not know that Carlos Andrés Pérez had far more influence with Violeta Chamorro in the early 1990s than Chávez or Fidel with Rosario Murillo and Daniel Ortega. It was CAP indeed who wisely weighed with Chamorro to keep on Humberto Ortega as army chief and so head off more civil war. She was accused of being a commie by the likes of arch-McCarthyist Jesse Helms, and don't tell me he had it right. I'd better batten down the hatches now!
I do think that Chimaoge1 is a bit harsh on the Economist's objectivity - an earlier piece (Chávez's bugbear Jun 25th 2009) made it fairly clear that Globovision was no paragon. As for Fox News, from what I see on the 'Daily Show', if someone hasn't already called for Barack Obama to be lynched, it is only a matter of time.
LuisFGB makes comparisons with National Socialism which although extreme sounding was exactly what I was thinking during a visit to Venezuela earlier this year when the referendum was being held. Seeing pickup trucks full of red shirted Chavistas running around the countryside celebrating an off the cuff week long public holiday in honour of their Dear Leader was a harsh reminder that democracy can be easily bought if the social conditions alow it. The continued harrassment of the media further points towards a totalitarian regime.
All this is fascinating for those of us watching from afar however as others have pointed out if you are unfortunate to have to live with the reality then it's not such fun.
I have lived that country's history since the cradle. I invite all those who haven't to read the pages of El Universal. In particular, this Sunday's article, Orlando Viera-Blanco's, Nada de Nada. When I was a boy, during Pérez Jímenez, Venezuela was going the classy way of Singapore, to unprecedented prosperity for all, then came the socialist democrats and their populist ochlocracy and deteriorated the country to such a trash bin status, such a shanty-town sprawl, that the hysterical population supported el Chavurro, a desperate hara-kiri, a jump into the void of communism and Castro-fed inferiority-complexed hate. Today, as you can well read in El Universal, before el Chavurro shuts that sheet down too, the country has gone beyond trash status and sunk into uncharted sewage waters. America and Europe, for all their human-rights blah-blah-blah, couldn't care less. They've only seen the country as an oil well to plunder anyway. El Chavurro is just the sewage lake's gate keeper.
It's so naive to try making a difference between state and government.
Why is that "we" are always trying to defend "the state" and punishing "the government"? I believe it has a great deal to do with the fact that we are always waiting for some messiah, a angel/god/"nuevo hombre", who will rule without corruption and efficiently. There's also a great deal of state idealization in there. Any Venezuelan knows about Public Choice research? James Buchanan?
If there is indeed a difference between state and government, tell me why don't I have my PDVSA stock-share? I do live in venezuela and I am venezuelan. PDVSA is supposedly mine, isn't it? Weird...
You're right when you say that those stations are funded with all Venezuelans money, but guess what? All governments are funded that way!!! Government is by it's own nature a resource wasting entity, and it doesn't have money of it's own!
And no, the mistaken one is you. It is socialist propaganda to make a difference between these people and socialism. Hayek in his "Road to serfdom" documents very well the ideological origins of fascism (and nazism), they are both essentially the same as socialism, different brands of collectivism, forms of government in which the WE steps over the individual, whether that makes any sense or not. In the end, WE is the government alone, regardless of the condition of democratically elected or not. Stop intrinsically preaching the "Heaven socialism", there's nothing more disgusting, that's why we are where we are, because foolish people still believe that "socialism is good, but has never been applied correctly".
BTW, The only good thing Chavez has done is getting rid of AD/COPEI. Cheers for that!
Elnica: I have no idea what you're on about. The only reason I mentioned Sodom and Gomorrah, in necessary connection to Hollywood, is because you, and your commie friends, keep bringing up McCarthy, a typical commie trick when they have no more arguments. As for CAP who -- you have obviously not screwed your glasses on properly during the past posts -- I have repeatedly said was just a little less trash that Chaburro, well, now that you've brought him up -- to hoist your own petard and that of your red pals -- it so happens that he was almost overthrown in a putsch ordered and led by el Chaburro himself (cowardly as everyone knows, for he proved himself a commander who does definitely not lead from the front but sends out others to die for his nauseous commie cause) which is why he landed in prison. Now then, you and your commie pals keep harping on how terrible these freedom fighters in 2002 were for trying organising a coup against a "democratically elected" leader, conveniently forgetting that Chaburro did the same against truly democratically elected CAP, with one difference: Carmona led a coup against Chaburro for liberty while Chaburro, under Castro's orders, did it to annex Cubazuela (treason) to Cuba and to sink the country into commie totalitarianism. As to Daniel Ortega having the country of Nicaragua and being a communist, and Castro's pawn, now that is rather obvious isn't it? That was a rather feeble attempt at confusing the issues. Then again, commies never have ideas or even facts, just sneaky, stubborn agendas.

TripAdvisor Reviews Le Roi du Lac Hotel Marne-la-Vallée
Travel Blogs from Marne-la-Vallée
Ever-changing landscape
There has been nothing remarkable about the countryside we have cycled through today - no huge mountains or dramatic limestone gorges but it has been just 'nice'. The roads we have been on for most of the day have taken us through a mix of woodland and farmland interspersed with pretty villages.Those same pleasantly undulating roads are in excellent condition and have, for the most part, been completely empty. Such an extreme contrast ...
Into France
... we arrived at a place called Bar le Duc, and after a quick drive through the town centre I asked George to take us to a shopping centre, since we needed to restock the fridge.
It was reasonable sized town and George took us to a ginormous shopping centre where E Leclerc has a huge supermarket/Target store, and we spent the next couple of hours there.
You might ask how you can spend so much time, but I promise you, it ...
Travels in Champagne
... and in the petite garden sculptures mostly of naked women!!
The Porte Sainte-Croix dated 1769 was dedicated to Marie-Antoinette and almost felt like you were in Paris!.
Cant wait to get on with our voyage!!
Winter port and encounters with champagne
... things off. It proved to be a great time to be spending quite a bit of time riding around in an air conditioned car! Especially since the hotel room, while nice, was not air conditioned.
There are about 5000 champagne producers in the Champagne region of France. Moussy has about 300 people and 7 or 8 of the producers. The next little town up the road, Pierry, has maybe 500 people and 27 producers. 97% of the producers do not ship to ...
The Hotel that Mickey built
... at other times.Sounds good.Catch is not all the rides are opened at this time.By now we are thinking Mickey Mouse himself built and runs this hotel.
Left the luggage with the concierge till room ready, off to find lunch.Restaurant as per voucher has very long lines, and so begins a pattern well trodden over the next few days.
Finally get buffet lunch, then back to pick up room keys.To my amazement the room is huge and very ...

Sweeney now works as an English-Spanish interpreter and plays bass in a local band called the Visitors. He expects to pay a small percentage of his restitution over the next five years as part of his Chapter 13 plan and then be done with it for good. He knows some people won't agree with that, but he's looking forward to having a second chance at financial independence.
"I don't want to shirk responsibility," he says. "At the same time, this kind of debt is dischargeable. I did my community service and completed my probation. I paid what I could. I just got to a point in my life where I was so far in the red, I needed some help."

The U.S. Navy has successfully flight tested a new mission computer that will expand the performance of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler. The new Type 4 Advanced Mission Computer (AMC) increases computing power and accelerates image and mission processing functions. Those advances will support new systems being incorporated onto the aircraft, including a Distributed Targeting System, Infrared Search and Track, and a new high-definition touch-screen display.
"The Type 4 Advanced Mission Computer puts game-changing computing power directly into the hands of the warfighters who fly the Super Hornet and Growler," said Kevin Fogarty, director of Boeing F/A-18 and EA-18G Mission Systems. "Working collaboratively with the U.S. Navy and our industry partners, we are increasing combat capability with an affordable, evolutionary approach to technology advancements."
The new AMC was tested on a Navy F/A-18F during a 90-minute flight at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, CA, verifying that it met critical safety and system requirements. Additional testing is planned. Boeing will deliver to the Navy the first Super Hornets and Growlers with the Type 4 AMC in 2014. General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems is Boeing's principal supplier for development of the AMC.
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a low observable, multirole aircraft that performs a multitude of missions, including air superiority, day/night strike with precision-guided weapons, fighter escort, and close air support. The EA-18G Growler is the only air combat platform that provides full airborne electronic attack capability along with the targeting and self-defense capabilities derived from the F/A-18E/F Block II Super Hornet.
