LA hound headin' up to NorCal...so what are you folks "hella" good at?
No seriously, what does SF have that I can't get in LA, UNDER 20pp?
Will be staying at the Sofitel in Redwood City 5/22 - 5/24, with a car.
The only places on my list are...
- Falafel Drive in (San Jose) - close to Shoreline Ampitheater, so good for me
- Top Dog
- Tartine Cafe (sp?)
- XLB @Shanghai Dumpling King
Anything else guys? If you guys have a rec for killer clam chowder, I'd be forever grateful :)
Well, since clams are an East Coast thing, clam chowder is not something we're "hella" good at. However, since you're in Redwood City, you might want to check out Old Port Lobster Shack.
I must respectfully disagree with Ruth. It would be a bit of a schlep from Redwood City, but a pretty drive, up the coast to Bodega Bay, where Spud Point Crab Shack makes the BEST clam chowder I've ever eaten. (And I have loved clam chowder since I was a child and have had many many versions.) It's SUPER casual, just a little shack with some picnic tables outside. The chowder is divine: it tastes like the ocean, fresh and clean, and every bite has the richest clam taste, and it''s full of pieces of what sure tastes like fresh clams. I assure that it's definitely "hella" good!
re: Kathleen M
Thanks, will look into it later. Sounds "hella" delicious :)
re: ns1
It's a great drive to get there, with many options on the way. The clam chowder is as good as described, and I also liked the crab cakes very much. Very un-touristy; you have to know where it is to get there. Here are two pics of the place, the one that comes up and the next one.
Spud Point Crab Company
1860 Westshore Rd, Bodega Bay, CA 94923
What area are you going to be spending most of your time?
Falafel Drive In is not close to Shoreline, it is near the intersection of 280 & 880. With only a long weekend, I am not sure if it warrants a trip unless you make a slight detour on your way back home (if you are driving). I highly recommend Bi Rite Creamery (salted caramel) in SF for ice cream.
Shalimar, Lahore Karahi in SF for tandoori chicken, kabobs. If you are going to be near Sunnyvale or Santa Clara, there are several options for Indian food.
re: ceekskat
I'll be @Shoreline for a concert on Friday, leaving back to LA on Sunday
According to google maps, Falafel Drive in (should be) on the drive TO shoreline (please correct me if I'm wrong)
Will look into the Indian recs. LA proper isn't that good for Indian, unfortunately.
re: oaktowngirl
Falafel Drive-in
2301 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose, CA 95128
re: Shane Greenwood
Quick report. went yesterday on the way to the concert
- Falafel pretty good, very unique, but would prefer Falafel Arax in LA (a la carte)
- The SANDWICH was pretty awesome. I craved it again last night. IT's that hot sauce that really did it for me. A sandwich who's whole > sum of its parts.
- Tahini sauce was kinda runny
Who knows where today takes us..
re: Humbucker
Well the best way I can describe it is in the way it sticks to the falafel. The layer of sauce that covered the falafel after every dip was way thinner than I am used to.
Just felt a tad watered down.
re: ML8000
Burma is really expensive for what you get. This place is so overrated. A ripoff for anyone from LA where you can get the same thing for $5 a plate.
Aziza is pretty awesome though. I think that one is worth it.
Never been to Larkin though I heard from a friend that it's a good value.
re: choctastic
Aziza is not under 20pp.
Fried Chicken Ramen at Katana-Ya.
Beef (marinated in red wine) Stew at Turtle Tower.
Ritual Coffee
Humphrey Slocombe Ice Cream
430 Geary St, San Francisco, CA 94102
Ritual Coffee Roasters
1026 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110
Turtle Tower Restaurant
631 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109
Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream
2790 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA 94110
re: scarmoza
having lived pretty much equally in both l.a. and sf for most of my life, i would say there's a good argument the bottom three places you've listed, but no ramen in the bay area comes even close to the amazing ramen shops in l.a., particularly those along sawtelle/olympic.
I actually think LA has more under 20pp places, and where SF really shines is having a lot of excellent 30-50pp places that are known more for their food than their decor.
That being said, here are a few under 20pp places in the Bay Area that haven't been mentioned yet.
Salang Pass and DeAfghanan for Afghan.
Zeni and Rehoboth for Ethiopian.
Bun Bo Hue An Nam for Vietnamese Bun Bo Hue.
Saravana Bhavan and Komala Vilas for South Indian.
Ongpin, Patio Filipino, Tribu Grill for Filipino
And if no one has mentioned it, you should really check out the Ferry Building Farmers Market on Saturday.
re: sfbing
What a great list for ethnic choices that are usually overlooked. Given the current economic situation I find I'm happier at the little mom 'n pop places, dives, etc., not because of lower prices but rather that they are more deserving.
re: sfbing
Is there anything particularly good at the farmers market? Or just eat and sample stuff?
thanks for the recs everyone
re: ns1
There are lots of great threads on the FPFM, but these are two with lots of advice to get you started: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/503670 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/512277
Make sure you dont go to "tartine cafe" you want "Bar Tartine" or "Tartine Bakery." Falafel Drive in is just ok for how out of the way it is. Top dog is not worth it considering its all the way in Oakland. Try and stay closer. Your itinerary sounds a little overly ambitious for things that are just ok.
Since your staying in Redwood Shores, there is The Refuge right across the highway (like 1/2 mile) that has the best Pastrami on the west coast and an amazing, predominantly Belgian beer list. If your heading to the city, I would say a mission burrito, Zuni chicken, Humphry Slocombe ice cream, XLB @ SDKing, are all relatively quintessential eats.
re: Adamsimpson
Best pastrami on the west coast is a big bold statement considering my close proximity to Langers...
Thanks for the recs :)
re: ns1
>Best pastrami on the west coast is a big bold statement considering my close proximity to Langers...<
I've never been to Langers so I can't compare them. Suffice it to say that the pastrami at The Refuge is so good (and different) that you really should try it. It stands on its own. It's been described as what you might get if you made pastrami from prime rib (don't know what cut they really use).
The Refuge
963 Laurel St, San Carlos, CA 94070
re: Mick Ruthven
The Refuge uses the navel cut for its pastrami. Clicking on the blue Places link will take ns1 to several reports on the pastrami and some comparisons to Langers.
re: Melanie Wong
fantastic, reading up on it now.
Also, how's the BOUCHON in Yontville(sp?) Loved the sourdough waffles @ Bouchon Vegas (I mean, it was quite possibly one of the best things I've ever stuffed in my mouth) and if I could recreate that experience, I'd be more than happy to drive the hour to Bouchon..
re: ns1
Here's the link for Bouchon in Yountville,
The LV location is generally more highly regarded than Napa Valley's. I've not been to Bouchon for about 3 years, and nothing I've read in the meantime compels me to return. And I wouldn't bypass what SF, Berkeley and Oakland have to offer to go there. From Redwood City, you're looking at more like a 2-hour drive each way.
If you do venture into San Carlos (or San Mateo), try Harmony Yogurt.
re: ceekskat
I found out about this place on CH and it's the best frozen yogurt I've tried; I don't go often because I live in SF and am afraid I won't be able to find the new place in San Mateo.
My favorite Indian place is Amber Cafe on El Camino in Mountain View: varied, authentic, and inexpensive. I've been going there regularly since I read about it on Chowhound a few years ago. On weekends, they do veg and non-veg biryanis, and their curries change frequently. IMO, the best value-for-money Indian place in the mid-Peninsula. (Can't imagine why it hasn't been mentioned yet.)
re: pilinut
Please note pilinut is recommending *amber cafe*, which is in the $20/pp range - unlike highly reviewed Amber Indian, in which each entre is $20.

2012-- from Upper Tract, West Virginia
Two years ago I had no idea where most of my ancestors were buried. I googled my g-g-grandfathers
Isaac Alt
Alfred Kimble
and found them on this site. I thought I might be able to link my family to them. That's how I got started. I had my sister go with me to show me where the Shreve and Kimble graveyards were in Smoke Hole. I must have caught some kind of bug in those graveyards that I can't get over. I'm adding the graveyards in the Upper Tract area. Most of them are not my relatives so if any one would like a transfer or link made just let me know. Feel free to copy any photos on my memorials for personal use. If added to another site, it would be nice to state where it was found. Let me know if you find any mistakes for I know they will be some.
I would to thank
Jennie Hott
for asking me to help record the updates for the cemeteries in the Upper Tract,Kline, Smoke Hole area for the new Pendleton County grave register that the historical Society has done. Also thanks to Denton Alt and Jack Hedrick for taking me and finding the cemeteries.
The following poem was written in 1906 by Walter Butler Palmer.
Dear Grandfather,
Your tombstone now,stands among the rest; Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out on polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care, It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist, You died before I was born.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse, Entirely not our own.
Dear Grandfather, the place you filled One hundred years ago.
Spreads out among the ones you left, Who would have loved you so.
I wonder how you lived and loved, I wander if you knew,
That someday I would find this spot, And come and visit you.

RE: Nicholas Kimble descendant
I'd really appreciate it if you would email those two things to me. My email is email@example.com.
Do you know where all they lived (especially during the period 1800-1850)?
I started playing with Ancestry.com a few months ago and now I am hooked.
I've collected a lot of links in my tree (Kenneth Family Tree) if you are interested. We have family in Wooster, OH who had done a very accurate trace back to Nicholas. I lived in Lima, OH (now in Tennessee) and have visted the graves back to Nicholas' son Joseph (my great grandfather).

Nicholas Kimble descendant
I am a direct descendant of Nicholas Kimble. I note that on your web page "http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=mr&MRid=47432041" there is are two lists of children of John and Rebecca (Hannah) Kimble, the top one includes Nicholas and the bottom one does not. Have you any info on this curiosity? I have not yet found any solid proof that Nicholas is the son of John or Rebecca.

I used to work in the network operations center at Regions Bank, and one of our responsibilities was monitoring the ATMs. We can see how much money is dispensed out by the machine, and who has used it, so there's pretty much no way that person would've been able to get away with the extra money. He'd be charged for it regardless when it's audited.

Bicycle, car collide; two 10-year-olds injured
Apr 5, 2013
News-Register Staff
Two 10-year-old girls were injured Friday morning when the bicycle they were riding collided with a car on Southeast Ford Street in the area of the dip.
The bicycle operator, Mireya Medina, of 725 S.E. Ford St., No. 18, and her passenger, Emmalea Drew, of 1005 N.E. Lafayette Ave., were transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Willamette Valley Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries. Neither was wearing a helmet.
Capt. Matt Scales of the McMinnville police gave this account:
The bicycle was traveling on the east side of the street and being ridden soutbhound into the dip. As the bicycle ran out of sidewalk, it veered at a 45-degree angle across traffic and crashed into the driver side mirror of a southbound 1999 Ford Escort station wagon driven by Jay Glenmore Jaeger, 56, of 1123 S.E. Rummel St., McMinnville. He was traveling an estimated 25 mph.
An investigation led officers to believe the bicycle was the cause of the crash for violating Oregon Revised Statute 814.430 — improper use of lanes by a bicycle. No citations have been issued.
Police remind bicyclists they are required by law to ride as close as possible to the right curb or edge of the roadway. In addition, any bicyclist uunder the age of 16 is required to wear a helmet.

Review: Moto X is the Android smartphone no one needs
The much-ballyhooed smartphone from Google's hardware unit brings little that's worthwhile to the mix
All winter long, we were treated to fevered speculation about the Moto X from Google's hardware unit, Motorola Mobility. Motorola has produced a string of lackluster Android devices, but the Moto X was going to be different. It would redefine the smartphone and challenge Samsung for creative dominance over the Android platform. It would be customizable -- and made in the United States.
It was clear when the Moto X was finally announced on Aug. 1 that it was no game-changer. But now that the Moto X is shipping, it turns out to be less than that. It's a mediocre smartphone that adds nothing useful to the mix. There's simply no reason for this smartphone to exist.
[ InfoWorld reviews: The HTC One is the iPhone's real Android rival | The Samsung Galaxy S 4 shows more is not always better | Where Android needs to be fixed | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights via Twitter and with the Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
The Moto X runs the stock Android "Jelly Bean" 4.2.2 version, which means it has all the pros and cons of any Android smartphone. For example, on the pro side, the Calendar app supports more kinds of repeating events than an iPhone's iOS does, there's near-field communication (NFC) for data exchange with other NFC-enabled Android devices, and you get access to all those Android home-screen widgets. On the con side, there's no support for the widely used Cisco IPSec VPNs, encryption is disabled by default, and media integration falls short compared to Apple's iTunes/AirPlay combination.
The Moto X does introduce a twist on the voice-command system that Android has long offered in competition with Apple's Siri: You can set the Moto X to always listen for Google Now commands, which can be handy while you're driving and shouldn't be touching your smartphone. Although it does a great job of understanding speech, Google Now's voice commands are very limited, not able to do much besides performing Web searches or issuing a few commands, such as make a call or send a text. Worse, you have to know the specific phrase that Google has programmed -- like "Show me the weather" -- to get real information instead of a search page. By contrast, Siri is much, much smarter and able to provide a lot of useful information from all sorts of queries: "How hot is it?" "What's the weather outside? "Tell me the weather?" and so on. Siri adapts to you; Google Now makes you adapt to it.
An Apple-inspired innovation the Moto X claims to bring to the table is also a dud. There's a Chrome browser extension you can download to your PC, Mac, or Chromebook that shows your Moto X's text messages and voicemails. Apple's iMessage service on Macs and iOS devices makes it easy to have a texting conversation across devices, and this is an attempt to replicate that. But because Motorola's version works only in the Chrome browser -- and only when the required extension is also running -- it lacks the ease of Apple's approach, which works all the time because it's an OS-level service. Leaving Chrome and its Motorola window open all the time to not use the Moto X is more hassle than it's worth.
Likewise, the lock-screen indicator for messages requires a gesture to see the message summaries, sort of like Windows 8. Apple's iOS just shows you the messages so that you don't have to fool around with the phone.
Compared to other Android smartphones, the Moto X brings little to the table. The big addition is the always-on voice command capability. The battery actually lasts more than a day -- not a given in Android devices. The Moto X is the first device to use the Motorola X8 module, which includes a dedicated motion processor, similar in concept to the M8 chip in Apple's iPhone 5s, but there was no obvious benefit in my usage to having the X8 compared to having a Qualcomm or other ARM chip in competing devices. The Camera app also has a nice selection wheel for setting the flash, HDR, and other attributes. That's not a lot to make a purported flagship device a flagship. (The camera itself takes adequate photos, but not great ones; the Moto X is another case where big megapixel ratings -- 10, here -- don't translate into superior-quality images. UPDATE 9/23/13: A software update appears to fix some of the quality issues, but so far is available only for T-Mobile customers.)
The Moto X adopts the Miracast wireless display protocol that debuted in the Google Nexus 4. If TV makers adopt this standard, Android will have a worthy competitor to Apple's AirPlay, but so far they have not. In the meantime, you can use an MHL video-out cable.
A Samsung Galaxy S 4 has a much broader array of software, some of it half-baked. And the HTC One is a much more elegant smartphone, with a very nice-looking, readable user interface. Both the Galaxy S 4 and HTC One have nice cases, whereas the Moto X's is pedestrian at best. Its curved back makes it awkward to use when on a tabletop or other surface, as you can easily rock it. The Moto X also has an unfortunate tendency to slide out of my palm -- something about its case material makes it slick when nestled in skin. (My editor had the same experience.) The main competitors don't have these issues.
The vaunted customization is limited to choosing a case color or design. That's a gimmick, not a feature -- and it's available only for Moto X smartphones tied to the AT&T network. As for being made in the United States, the truth is that it is assembled domestically, with parts made mostly elsewhere. It's great to bring manufacturing jobs back to the States, but there's less to the patriotic appeal than many buyers will believe.
I also find the Moto X's screen to be a bit hard to read. Part of that is the default setting of tiny text, coupled with a brightness distortion that creates a halo effect around the unfortunate use of light-on-dark text. If I were 25, my eyes would likely be able to handle these unfriendly visual designs, but I'm twice that age. Boosting the text size helps, but still the screen is nowhere as readable as that of a Galaxy S III, Galaxy S 4, or HTC One -- or smaller-screen iPhone. I appreciate the Moto X's 4.7-inch screen size -- too many Android smartphones have grown gorilla-sized -- but the overall quality isn't there, and the tiny text neutralizes the advantage of the larger screen.
That in a nutshell is the story of the Moto X: a mediocre device with a few interesting twists that overall aren't that well executed either. Why bother? You shouldn't.
If for some reason you still want a Moto X, it is available in AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon Wireless versions. The 16GB model costs about $200 with a two-year contract or $600 without; add $50 for the 32GB model. Neither has expandable memory, unlike many Android devices.

Jerry Doyle Talks About The Attacks On Him For Sticking Up For Ron PaulSubmitted by Truthiness on Thu, 08/18/2011 - 06:54
If you aren't familiar with the situation, read the original post here - http://www.dailypaul.com/...
Jerry got a call from a supporter today (most likely from Daily Paul) and went on to explain whats going on. He also gave some interesting insight on the radio industry and how things work.
He also shares a story where his opinion lost him 16 stations but he refused to go back on his beliefs and principals to keep them.
This is what he had to say on today's show
This guy has serious guts to be doing what he is and we need to keep supporting him. He isn't afraid to take on the status quo and call out the other neocon talk show hosts that are carrying water for the GOP.
UPDATE: Thank Jerry and record his show http://tinyurl.com/42esfka

Had not heard of this guy
Had not heard of this guy before, but I like his reasoned approach and independence! No wonder the conservative dogmatists have a problem with him... he's not a drone.
Will definitely give him a listen.
Holy CRAP! Michael Garibaldi!?
Not sure...
He's the man!
You Rock
"Mega Dittos" to Jerry!...(haha). I agree 100%!
"sometimes I hug the coffee table when no one is looking."
For integrity!
Kudos to Jerry D for DARING to express his heartfelt thoughts!
I don't necessarily agree with everything he says on air, but I truly RESPECT his honesty and the ability to rationally explain his thoughts. My prayer is for a huge professional journalistic BREAKTHROUGH to come his way. His voice is too valuable to be crushed by some billionaires' whim.
What's the podcast called of
What's the podcast called of this guy? I'd like to listen to him. Is it the jerry doyle show podcast?
I found him using radiotime.com on my computer. It shows him on 124 stations at different times of the day. We have a local "the truth" station here and believe me they are going to hear from me. You'll love the guy, he takes shots at the rinos and neocons just as much as the liberal and progressives. Such a breath of fresh air from the Limbough, Hannity, Levin etc crap.
It still says zero views even
It still says zero views even though there's already 10 comments on the page.
Not sure whats going on with that
I tossed the television
about 10 years ago and never looked back. I now use radiotime.com to fill the void when I'm in the house and just bookmarked the Jerry Doyle show and plan to make him part of the everyday schedule of my listening line up. It's a must to support people like Jerry. Ron Paul has taught us all about the true free market and this is how you vote in it. We all need to call or E-mail any local station that Jerry works for and let them know that we are now listening to him because we support his integrity!
Jerry Doyle is awesome!
He's on one of the local AM stations here in town. I used to listen to him and thought he had an RP streak. I'll be sure to send him a "Keep on keepin' on email".
I have never listened to Jerry Doyle
I have never listened to Jerry Doyle before the clips here on DP recently. I kept looking at his picture thinking I recognized him. Then it hit me!
He is/was Michael Garibaldi!
For those who don't know, that was a main character on Babylon 5, one of the best scifi series ever.
The Babylon 5 space station was called "Our last, best, hope for peace." I've often thought of those words when thinking about Ron Paul.
I wonder if Jerry Doyle ever thinks those words about Dr. Paul?
Love that show
Particular the fourth season when they show how corrupt their government is.
why does it seem that only sci fi shows how corrupt governments are?
Posted this about Doyle.
Jerry Doyle: Ron Paul's White House Press Secretary, IMO.
I think that he just earned that position. Perfect fit!
Ron Paul 2012.
This has zero views after I looked at it
we need to keep this on top, this man is one of us. I love it. To the top, let's kick some ass!!!!
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must. like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.-Thomas Paine
The R3volution requires action, not observation!!!!
I was pretty surprised that
I was pretty surprised that after he bared his heart on adoption, all someone could do was write Ron Paul 2012 over and over. That was pretty insensitive to me. If only someone had said YAY Jerry Doyle! I would have, but they no longer let me post there.

Researcher devotes career to understanding the causes of alcoholism
By Arthur Lightbourn
Local resident Marc Schuckit knew from an early age that he not only wanted to become a physician, but most likely wanted to pursue psychiatry.
"The psychiatry part was: I loved novels, I loved history, and I loved people stories. And in psychiatry you're dealing with people stories…and you're dealing with people based on time as opposed to procedures."
For example, Schuckit said, "If you were seeing me, I would see you based on 45 minutes. You have booked me for a period of time to talk about you and what's concerning you.
"If I were a surgeon, figuratively, I might see you for 10 minutes dealing with the procedure I'm about to do." But, as a psychiatrist,
"I like your story more than I like doing surgery on your elbow."
Today, Schuckit, now 66 and a Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry at UCSD, is a world leader in the research study of alcoholism, particularly the importance of genetic and environmental influences on alcohol dependence.
And, for 30 years, as a clinician, he directed the alcohol and drug treatment program and treated patients at San Diego's VA Hospital, UCSD's teaching hospital.
His numerous awards include the President's Award from the American Psychiatric Association in 1972, the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Research Society on Alcoholism in 1993, the Middleton Award in 1997, and the Lifetime Achievement Gold Medal Award from the Society of Biological Psychiatry in 2005.
And how do you get to be a world leader in the research of alcoholism?
"Persistence," he said. "Research is a funny business. By its very nature, you open yourself up for criticism. You're competing with people for scarce dollars to support research...I am proudest that when criticized I learned from it and didn't say, 'Ah, I shouldn't be looking at it anymore.'"
We interviewed Schuckit in his office near the UCSD campus where he heads a team of 11 researchers.
Schuckit is definitely a detail man. He chooses his words thoughtfully, and, even after some 40 years in research, exhibits an obvious excitement and enthusiasm for his work.
Physically, he's tall and lean. He exercises regularly, scuba dives in tropical waters at least once a year, and is "almost a vegetarian" because of "feeling bad for the animals."
His father was a butcher.
Schuckit was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisc., along with two sisters. His grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Lithuania and Romania.
He earned his undergraduate degree in premedical science from the University of Wisconsin in 1964; his medical degree from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, in 1968; followed by an internship at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, and residencies in psychiatry at Washington University and UCSD, completed in 1972.
"When I went to medical school, I had no idea that I would do research," he revealed "but I needed to help support myself so the first day of medical school I looked for a part-time job."
The job he found was as an interviewer in a research study of 30-year-old men. "And among the problems you are likely to see among 30-year-old men, alcohol and drugs are way up there."

Labor official criticizes tally of social costs of casino gambling
"The flaws inherent in the center's analysis of expanded gambling have never been clearer," said Joe Casey, president of the New Hampshire Building and Construction Trades Council. "Only after the report was released did the center decide to acknowledge reality: that Massachusetts plans for gambling will cost New Hampshire at least $75 million a year if we do nothing, information that absolutely should have been included in their full report.
"Knowing this, it makes more sense than ever for New Hampshire to build its own casino that will create jobs and generate needed revenue," Casey said.
"It is unfortunate that our long-standing concerns about the efforts by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies continue to be justified," Casey said.
"We believe the social costs derived from the center's own assumptions are overstated," said Casey. "The center's unproven social cost model apparently suggests little to no net benefit to the state. That's a bold assumption that needs to be backed up by real-world examples that can be found elsewhere. For when we look to states, whether it be nearby Maine or states like Pennsylvania or Delaware, the concerns dictated by these untested assumptions simply haven't materialized.

Waisale Serevi's mission to grow rugby brings U.S. national team to Seattle
The Eagle Sevens are training here this week in preparations for the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Russia starting June 28. They scrimmaged against Serevi's club team at Magnuson Park on Wednesday.
Seattle Times staff reporter
For 45-year-old Waisale Serevi, a stroll down any major street in downtown Seattle may be nothing out of the ordinary. Serevi isn't fazed by the relative anonymity, but it's a telling barometer for rugby in the United States.
In Hong Kong or New Zealand, every major road might as well be a red carpet for Serevi, internationally renowned as the "King of 7s." Rugby sevens, that is — a more fast-paced version of the traditional 15-man sport.
But in Seattle, the Fiji native is simply a man on a mission. He's been at the forefront of Seattle's growing rugby community and helped bring the Eagle Sevens — the U.S.'s national team for men's sevens — here for a week of training ahead of the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Moscow starting June 28.
Taking time off from their World Cup training regimen at the Olympic Training Center in Southern California, the Eagles Sevens traveled north, where a few hundred fans watched them scrimmage the Serevi Select squad, a team of former international stars, including Serevi himself.
The sides played a modified, friendly version of touch rugby Wednesday at Magnuson Park, showing off in front of players of all ages.
Former England Sevens standout Ben Gollings has accumulated more points than any other player in sevens history and ran with the Serevi Select squad.
"If you look at the amount of people who have come out on a Wednesday afternoon to support this, I think it's brilliant," Gollings said after the match.
It's all part of Serevi's mission to grow the sport in Seattle.
"It's tough but it's challenging; it's not difficult, it's possible," says Serevi, a native of Fiji who has been referred to as the Michael Jordan of international rugby sevens.
Chris Prentice, who helped Serevi start a Seattle-based company called Serevi Rugby, prefers the comparison to Brazilian soccer legend Pele.
"I think about where soccer was in the early 80s and when Pele came through America, what did he do?" Prentice said. "He inspired three different generations for soccer in America."
Serevi still has his fair share of inspiring to do, but the two-time Rugby World Cup champion certainly has a foot in the door with the company he helped start. According to its website, Serevi Rugby is "a young company founded by Serevi and three rugby enthusiasts hell-bent on growing the game of rugby in North America and beyond."
It's been nearly a century since rugby sevens last appeared as an Olympic sport, but in 2009, the IOC selected the sport to be part of the 2016 program in Rio de Janeiro.
Twelve teams will compete in the 2016 Olympics, with a three-stage qualification process starting in 2014. The U.S. is ranked 11th in the IRB Sevens World Series standings.
While the Olympics have resurrected the flourishing sport, Seattle has gone above and beyond to raise awareness for it.
The King of 7s has attracted other international icons to help Serevi Rugby.
For younger players in the region, Serevi Rugby, and the international icons like Gollings that it has brought in, have had an unparalleled impact.
"To see actual grown men coming out and playing as a job, it's really impressive and kind of encouraging for us," said Connor Miller, a Bishop Blanchet sophomore and a member of the Seattle Vikings rugby club. "It makes us better players."

Chocolate Macaroons with Chocolate or Caramel Filling
Servings: Makes 24 sandwich cookies
Chocolate filling
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Caramel Filling
- 2 large egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 2 cups (packed) powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 1-pound box powdered sugar
- 2 cups whole blanched almonds
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup egg whites (about 6 large)
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
For chocolate filling:
Bring milk and butter to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; whisk until melted and smooth. Transfer to small bowl. Cool. Cover and refrigerate until thick and cold, at least 1 day and up to 3 days.
For caramel filling:
Place yolks in medium bowl. Bring 4 tablespoons butter and cream to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Gradually whisk hot cream mixture into yolks. Anchor bowl with yolk mixture by placing bowl on wet kitchen towel; set aside.
Stir sugar and 6 tablespoons water in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan so caramel will color evenly, about 10 minutes. Slowly whisk hot caramel into yolk mixture, then whisk until smooth. Transfer caramel mixture to small bowl; let stand until no longer warm to touch (caramel will become too thick if it cools too long), about 1 hour. Whisk in remaining butter. Cover and chill until thick and cold, at least 1 day and up to 3 days.
For macaroons:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Blend powdered sugar and almonds in processor until nuts are ground to powder, scraping sides of bowl often, about 8 minutes. Add cocoa and blend 1 minute more. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold nut mixture into whites in 4 additions, making thick batter.
Spoon half of batter into pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch plain round tip. Pipe batter onto each prepared sheet in 12 walnut-size mounds, spacing mounds apart (cookies will spread slightly). Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until firm to touch in center and dry and cracked on top, about 11 minutes. Slide parchment with cookies onto work surface; cool cookies. Repeat with remaining batter, cooling sheets completely and lining with clean parchment for each batch.
Assembly and serving:
Arrange 1 macaroon, flat side up, on work surface. Drop 1 scant tablespoon filling onto cookie. Top with second macaroon, flat side down. Press lightly to adhere, making sandwich. Repeat with remaining macaroons and filling. Arrange macaroons on platter. Cover; chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Serve cold.

.i dug up thepast again, thosememories viciousand snarlingi set them looseinside the houseand now we haveto leave
.pour love allover, then strikea match;the fire willburn itself out,but the ruinswill smoulder
.a storm breaks insidehis mouth; my name washes upon his tongue, stranded
.sometimesthe voicein my headdecides tocurl up inmy throatinsteadand sometimesthe beat ofyour heartdecides tomake itselfknown throughyour fists
.when i look back atthe past, she looks right back at meshe points at thefuture, glint in her eye
.you brokea heart,convincedthat there wassomething goodinside
.does a weedever wonderwhy it isn'ta flowerdoes a treeever feel likeits roots areholding itdown
.is it worse tohear a truth,or give oneto tell a lie,or live one
.i wanted to bathein fire; for the amber tonguesto lick me clean, pure
.i was born with thecord wrapped tightaround my neck; itwould seem fitting todie the same way
.we are one and thesame, that old willow andme, we stand tall with thescars that life gave us -with the names of loverscarved deep in our limbs,and old burns from mydads cigarettes
.they say that you are thework of the devil; you'll haveblack orbs for eyes and a tongueas sharp as your fathersand i hope you will not feel a thingwhen they pull back your blanketsand carry you out, when they leaveme with nothing but creases
.the sea spitsme back ontothe shore -the waves saythis is not theright tide, theright time
.in yourhead liesa well troddenpath;i want thewilderness
.i shudderwhen you speak;your words arecold when theytouch me
.i heard that eventhe dead have nightmares; sometimesthey roll in their graves
.he told me prayersare uselessand if i really want hisforgiveness, i should get onmy knees and beg
.the shadows bruise thesunlight while the moonweeps in the darkness
I'm the type...to try and smile when they're gunning me down andI won't tell you until I'm full of empty shells thatthe world wasn't built on land but onsuffering anda lack of better term for human desire for satisfaction that does not exist.To be optimistic when one's soul is a realist butit doesn't matter how many petals you count becausethe last draw will always end with a dead end thattakes you to a new beginning where at first you feel.. this is it. And I'm going to make this myhome.. If not for the eyes that prey on your identity while perched ontrees that take root on ground made of greed andsuffering.Is happiness a paradoxical conspiracy that finds salvation in the dreaming minds of those awake. Or perhaps justsomething I have only caressed but never tasted toremember.Is suffering that which is beyond the first dream that we all awaken to after sleeping that first sleep when we break free of Innocence.Or are my words not but images that you have unconsciously
five second suicideand as i pour myself out on these canvasesi drip over the edges, spilling dots ofabsence on the hungry earth.they call me jane doe,and i am not art.every evening, i close the door,close my eyes, disassemble.slowly, i've become fleeting.i float, my feet don't touch the ground.how can i crash?i fade, i dissolve,but i've lost the motive to explode.there's no glory in my death;i leave no trace of the dramatic.a man on the train last tuesdaynudged me, apologized, and carried on his way.he's the last person who'sspoken to me since then.we hit a notch in the tracks,the car wobbled.i stared at him silently,counting the infinite futuresthat suffocated behind my teeth.i'm dying in my own penitentiarywith the cell door key in my pocket.
You asked for dark poetry.i will neverbe niceto my enemies.i will devour them all.slowly.methodically.with a fork.
Poetry,you're atemperamental bitchthat moans when I go.You comparealcoholto happiness.You creepfrom throats& boneslike somehungry monster.But Poetry,languagewas inventedfor you.You awokea rhythmbetween myfingertipsthat stilltauntsme.You're either avital organ,or blood.However, Poetry,are you cheaperthan the womenin the empty spacesof my life-or the secretsI writebetween my thighs?Poetry,I am Fifty Shadesof girl.Why should I feed you?Do you knowwhat to dowith my bodywhen you are merelyink stained fingerssoaked in passing& the feversconjuredwithin burning stars?I didn't think so.
I can't write poetry for dead girls.there are toomany pills in thisworld and toomuch misery inthe human heartbut that didn't meanthat you could justup and leave whenwe both know itcould have gotten betterand i miss you likea wolf misses her packor a goddamn dragon missesher fire and i'm sorrythat i can't give youa bouquet of jasmines(they were yourfavorite, after all,because that wasthe only princesswith a pet tiger)because poppies aretoo cliche and i'msorry i wasn't therewhen all you neededwas a hug and for someoneto whisper "it's okay,you're perfect enoughfor me, don't listento that junkie bitchwho just happened togive birth to you" and didyou know that i'm still waitingfor a reply to that oneemail about the world'sbest puns because fuck,there's a stubborn partof me that still refuses tobelieve that you're gone.
lung canceri will die with your name on my lipsbecause there is nothing else i'll need to say.you are my coffin, my funeral pyre.as my bones disintegrate, popping and snapping,you will greedily swallow my ashesuntil nothing is left of me but secondhand smoke.i've danced with you, love, across hospital tile,the scent of antiseptic cloying as valentine's chocolate.you dipped me into unconsciousness,and i willingly closed my eyes.the intrusion of your scalpel teeth no longer scares me.you, my rigor mortis soul mate, always take me under.your tent of frostbitten shelter pulls me down, an anchor,while i gag on pills too abstract to save me.forgive me, lungs, of my cigarette abuse,but i've found happiness in a reaper's cloak.i find comfort in these carcinogens.i've made my nest in a swaying tree,my body destroyed by the nauseous rocking.they smile at me with pity in their eyes,scribbling nonsense on those jaw-like clipboards.their crisp, stark white world still has faith in me,yet
Keep your secrets, wolfgirl.I have been suffocatingon the stars of my pastlike horny gentlemendo with innocent lookingwolfgirls at 3am- their bitefearless as thieves.My lilac lungs are breathing indust and the tears of Saturn'snameless moons,while the rest of me -well, shes warm off wineand poems leftunfinished.

Hope kindle and rebound you.
May your Hurts turn to Healing;
Your Heart embrace Feeling.
May Wounds become Wisdom;
Every Kindness a Prism.

"Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!"
― William Arthur Ward

From Anguished Repose:
We wish you and your have a very splendid, very happy…
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;The children were nestled all snug in their beds;While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.Away to the window I flew like a flash,Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,When what to my wondering eyes did appear,But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,With a little old driver so lively and quick,I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blixen!To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;So up to the housetop the coursers they flewWith the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of each little hoof.As I drew in my head, and was turning around,Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;He had a broad face and a little round bellyThat shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;A wink of his eye and a twist of his headSoon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,And laying his finger aside of his nose,And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
~Clement Clarke Moore

"And when we give each other Christmas gifts in His name, let us remember that He has given us the sun and the moon and the stars, and the earth with its forests and mountains and oceans–and all that lives and move upon them. He has given us all green things and everything that blossoms and bears fruit and all that we quarrel about and all that we have misused–and to save us from our foolishness, from all our sins, He came down to earth and gave us Himself."
― Sigrid Undset

Late on a sleepy, star-spangled night, those angels peeled back the sky just like you would tear open a sparkling Christmas present. Then, with light and joy pouring out of Heaven like water through a broken dam, they began to shout and sing the message that baby Jesus had been born. The world had a Savior! The angels called it "Good News, " and it was.
– Larry Libby
Eternal God, this holy night is radiant with the brilliance of your one true light. May that light illuminate our hearts and shine in our words and deeds. May the hope, the peace, the joy, and the love represented by the birth in Bethlehem this night fill our lives and become part of all that we say and do. May we share the divine life of your son Jesus Christ, even as he humbled himself to share our humanity. Amen.
– Rev. Richard J. Fairchild
"I love snow for the same reason I love Christmas: It brings people together while time stands still. Cozy couples lazily meandered the streets and children trudged sleds and chased snowballs. No one seemed to be in a rush to experience anything other than the glory of the day, with each other, whenever and however it happened"
― Rachel Cohn, Dash & Lily's Book of Dares
"Well, I know now. I know a little more how much a simple thing like a snowfall can mean to a person"

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.
~Calvin Coolidge
Christmas… is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.
~Freya Stark
"I truly believe that if we keep telling the Christmas story, singing the Christmas songs, and living the Christmas spirit, we can bring joy and happiness and peace to this world."

"There has been only one Christmas — the rest are anniversaries."
― W. J. Cameron
"Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart… filled it, too, with a melody that would last forever. Even though you grew up and found you could never quite bring back the magic feeling of this night, the melody would stay in your heart always – a song for all the years."
― Bess Streeter Aldrich, Song of Years
"Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given–when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes."
― Joan Winmill Brown
"Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home."
― G.K. Chesterton, Brave New Family: G.K. Chesterton on Men and Women, Children, Sex, Divorce, Marriage and the Family

I am mostly a vegetable gardener and have been growing in soil for many years. I moved to a new home over a decade ago on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and have had to learn how to grow vegetables on severely depleted sandy soil. My land was formerly agricultural that was abandoned due to depletion and erosion. I've learned how use organic methods to restore the soil to health and grow fruits, vegetables and grass where none would grow before. A few years ago, I took an interest in hydroponic in order to grow fresh vegetables indoor in winter. More recently, I have taken to growing vegetables in containers, and found success growing crops that never did well in my climate, mainly peppers. I do as much learning and experimenting as time will permit, and I'm always up for trying something new.
