GWI Blog
Welcome to the GWI blog regarding telecommunications policy, rural broadband, and economic development in Maine and New England.
Fiber Drive: GWI Teams Hit the Street to Talk Fast Fiber
The first kernel of our gigabit fiber to the home network in South Portland was created when South Portland's IT Director Chris Dumais wrote an RFP for a network he needed to connect city buildings and asked that bidders connect homes and businesses along the way. We're very excited to make this network available to South Portland residents, but the first phase of the network is really small and we need to connect customers really early in order for the service to be cost effective for people. In fact, we can only connect a couple of hundred homes in a city of 20,000 and we need to sign as many as we can up by the end of the year if we want to install their service for free. This presents a really interesting problem for our team. In a day when no one reads advertisements mailed to them, how do … Continue reading
Debunking 5 Common Objections to Municipal Broadband
There is much excitement about the recent announcements by Rockport and South Portland that the two cities will be deploying 1 gigabit per second municipal broadband networks to homes. Not surprisingly, there is also anger and frustration from certain quarters – most especially the incumbent ISP's who have little to gain and much to lose from the market entry of a competing network. These large corporations have successfully employed a number of arguments to slow the tide of competition, successfully getting state laws passed against municipal broadband networks in 20 states. It's only a matter of time before similar resistance pops up in Maine, so I thought it would be worthwhile to review the most common arguments against municipal broadband networks and check their validity. In doing so, we can be better prepared for the public debate that's sure to come. There are five objections to municipal broadband that come … Continue reading
Maine Towns Lead the U.S. in Next-Generation Broadband
If you follow next-generation broadband communications at all, you're familiar with places like Kansas City, Chattanooga and San Antonio. These were some of the first cities in our country to get gigabit speeds into homes either with the help of Google Fiber or through direct municipal investment. These cities are part of a group gathering on Monday to discuss next-generation broadband availability that includes tech industry hubs like Boston, Massachusetts, Palo Alto, California and Santa Monica, California. It makes sense that these communities would gather together as part of a relatively exclusive list of just 31 communities from all around the country to be founding members of Next Century Cities – a bipartisan, city-to-city organization dedicated to ensuring the availability of next-generation broadband for all communities. Two names on that list that might surprise you are Rockport and South Portland, Maine. Small as the founding group is, Next Century Cities … Continue reading
The Power of "What If?" – Municipal Fiber to the Home
Our first phase of building municipal fiber to the home in South Portland started, not as the economic development issue it eventually became, but as a basic IT requirement. Chris Dumais, the City's IT Director was faced with increasing costs for the dark fiber network that connects key city buildings, and he figured one up-front payment to lease a new network for many years would save money over the long term. He put out an RFP, and he accomplished his goal. If the story had stopped there, it would have been a win for the city but it wouldn't have been the statewide news story it became. The story didn't stop there. Instead, Chris asked himself some powerful questions. He shared those questions with those in attendance at the press conference on September 22nd: "What if we were able to provide a faster internet to businesses along our fiber route?" … Continue reading
3 Issues Before the FCC That Could Change the Internet
This week Fletcher and I attended the Community Fiber Networks conference in Springfield, Massachusetts. Community leaders throughout New England came together there to talk about the impact of better broadband to community development, share experiences in deploying networks, and discuss important policy issues around broadband deployments. During a panel discussion yesterday, FCC Special Counsel for External Affairs Gigi Sohn made a remarkable statement that I shared on Twitter: @GigiBSohnFCC "The next six months are going to be the most important months in the history of #telecommunications policy." — Trevor Jones (@trevorjones71) September 18, 2014 Perhaps she was exaggerating for effect, but there are certainly some momentous topics being discussed at the FCC now that could shape the future of the Internet. Is the current FCC docket really that important? It wasn't until I stopped to consider Ms. Sohn's remark that I really appreciated just how sweeping the topics under consideration … Continue reading
With Maine Broadband the Mirror Hurts. Look Anyway.
One of this week's memorable moments came on Wednesday morning, as I watched Bloomberg TV's two spots on Maine broadband with considerably mixed emotions. Bloomberg reporter Michael McKee doesn't pull any punches. As you can see from this spot, he contrasts the 150 megabits per second available bandwidth in New York City to our statewide average of 9 megabits per second here in Maine and explains how our challenges of population density and geography make it a money losing scenario for ISP's to build out fiber networks on their own. It gets worse. In a follow up spot McKee and his fellow commentators compare Maine to third-world countries in terms of broadband speed: Being defensive won't get us anywhere. I've lived in Maine all my life. It's natural to want to come to the defense of our home, and it would be easy enough to find some ground to do … Continue reading
Is Municipal Fiber Really the REA of our Generation?
Two weeks ago, I took time out from a vacation camping in Western Maine to travel to Rockport for the announcement of the new gigabit fiber to the home network we helped deploy there. It was only much later, today in fact, that it occurred to me that I started my journey to launch Maine's first gigabit municipal fiber to the home network in Bryant Pond – the home of the nation's last hand-cranked magneto telephone exchange. The juxtaposition of old and new on the two ends of my drive speaks volumes about how far Maine has come technologically since the early 1980's, even as our CEO's paper on broadband capacity in Maine showed just how far we still have to go. Another interesting juxtaposition between early 20th century and 21st century technologies came from Susan Crawford's remarks that day. I captured the quote in this tweet: @scrawford "Electricity … Continue reading
Why Having a Different Definition of Broadband Hurts Maine
Today, Maine faces challenges with its broadband being significantly inferior to 48 other U.S. States. While our broadband isn't deteriorating, the rest of the country is developing superior broadband solutions at a far faster rate. This has a lasting negative impact on Maine's economy. In the early 2000's, the term "broadband" became the common definition for Internet access that was faster, more reliable and had better quality of service than dial-up. The problem with the term "broadband" is that it has never had a precise meaning. Since the quality and availability of broadband access is critical to moving Maine up the national broadband ladder – and consequently attracting more businesses to Maine – one of the first challenges is to determine a mutually beneficial definition for broadband. How can business owners, technology providers, policy makers and consumers tackle the issues if we're not speaking the same language? Here's how we … Continue reading

QA Graphics, an Iowa-based interactive design firm, announced today that the company will demonstrate its nutrition information kiosk solution at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago in May.
The company said it develops interactive nutrition information kiosks to help quick service and fast-food restaurants comply with menu labeling laws.
The NRA Show will attract over 58,000 industry pros from more than 100 countries to view innovations, new products and services, creative ideas and other growth opportunities across the restaurant and hospitality industry, according to the announcement. At the NRA Show, attendees can visit QA Graphics' booth to view nutritional kiosk examples, as well as a variety of other creative design solutions for restaurants, quick serve restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores, retail outlets and others, the company said.
With the FDA's impending legislation requiring the display of nutritional information, QA Graphics said it can work with restaurant owners to provide a solution that's both visually appealing and informative for consumers. The interactive nutritional applications can be displayed via kiosks, touchscreens and mobile devices including Apple iOS, Android and BlackBerry.
QA Graphics said its interactive nutritional kiosks can feature a host of important information:
The company will also demonstrate examples of cutting-edge interactive sales tools that it said allow vendors and distributors to provide greater visualization of their extensive product lines. These are solutions that would help streamline purchasing decisions, while reducing inventory needs and making the sales process more efficient. QA Graphics will also demonstrate other marketing solutions for restaurants including touchscreen applications, digital menu boards, mobile applications for Apple iOS and Android devices, as well as other multimedia solutions.
QA Graphics also works with organizations that are building sustainable restaurants, or working to make their existing locations more energy efficient. QA Graphics' Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard is an educational solution that customers can interact with via mobile devices, touchscreens or kiosks to view how efficient a restaurant is and learn more about the sustainable initiatives in place. This solution is currently being used by a number of locations throughout the U.S., including two LEED-certified McDonald's franchises.

Getting Pregnant
Labor and Delivery
Baby and Beyond
Wow! Has it been that long?
Well, We did that cycle without injectables and did not get pregnant. The very next cycle started at Christmas. We proceeded to do the gonal-f and IUI on January 3rd. In that cycle I became pregnant with fraternal quintuplets! I was amazed and shocked by it all.
After a very eventful pregnancy my sons were born at 27 weeks gestation on July 3rd 2005.
Baby A - Lukas weighed in at 1 pound 14 ounces
Baby B - Samuel weighed in at 1 pound 15 ounces (deceased - stillborn)
Baby C - Noah weighed in at 2 pounds 3 ounces
Baby D - Patrick weighed in at 1 pound 6 ounces (deceased - stillborn)
Baby E - Peter weighed in at 1 pound (deceased - stillborn)
Lukas and Noah are now 3 years old! Patrick and Samuel died between 4-6 to 24 hours before birth. Peter died 1 week before birth. I was very ill. I had HELLP and pre-e. My kidneys failed, low platelets, mag level was a 17... I almost died. Thankfully I had a smart nurse who realized that I just didn't look right and she decided to get my mag levels checked and my platelets...Patti saved my life and the lives of my two sons. I can't help but think that if she had been on duty before she would have checked and we might have 4 living sons today.
When the boys were 13 months old I very unexpectedly became pregnant on my own with my daughter! She was such a wonderful surprise! Evangeline "Evey" is 15 months old now.
We are making sure that for a while that she is the last surprise...until we are ready for more. If we ever get to that point, I don't know. But I like having the option of having more possibly if we want to.

"What's happening?"Welcome to the debut of writer Jane Espenson! Mayor Wilkins is meeting with Mr. Trick, who says he has outsourced a job to someone who's worked in Sunnydale before, and can give the Mayor what he needs. Wilkins says he's made "certain deals" to get where he is today, and one of his campaign donors requires a tribute.At school the next day, the Scoobies come upon Principal Snyder handing out boxes of candy. Snyder gives them each a box of chocolate bars and summarily orders them to sell it to raise money for new band uniforms. Buffy manages to talk her mother into buying half of her stock. Having gotten rid of those, Buffy says she's gotta run, as Giles is expecting her to train Joyce opines that Giles is monopolizing Buffy's time, but she's already out the door.The library. Buffy cops out of training early, explaining that Joyce is on the warpath, and breezily exists. Giles smells a rat.Sure enough, Buffy goes to the mansion to bring Angel some fresh blood. He says he's getting stronger.When she arrives home, Buffy finds her mother and Giles waiting for her. Cue the fireworks. After Giles steps in to mediate (telling them not to "freak out"), Buffy is sentenced to her room, leaving the adults to munch on chocolate bars. At a factory somewhere in Sunnydale, a workman is about to do the same thing, but Ethan Rayne stops him."Trust me, you don't wanna eat that."The next day, Giles fails to show up for study hall. Worried, Buffy goes to Giles's place and finds her mom sitting on the couch. Giles explains that they are rescheduling her activities to lessen her burden, and Joyce hands Buffy her car keys and invites her to drive herself home. Delighted, Buffy snatches the keys and leaves in a cartoon cloud of dust. Joyce makes a "whew" face, and wonders if Buffy sensed anything amiss. "No wai!" says Giles, lighting up a cigarette as Joyce takes a bottle of Kahlua out from hiding. Wat.Meanwhile, Buffy and Willow arrive at the Bronze to find it largely populated by adults acting like... well, teenagers. Snyder comes up and puts his arms around the two of them (!), then snorts that the other teachers are wasted. Teen Snyder is fun, though a bit clingy to the "Scoobies. Buffy decides to find out what's going on, and Snyder tags along. They all pile back into the jeep to find Giles.Speaking of which: Giles and Joyce are downtown, behaving like a couple of lovestruck teenagers. Joyce stops to admire a jacket in a store window ("Very Juice Newton.") Giles swings a garbage can into the window, breaking it as the alarm goes off. He grabs the jacket and A Clockwork Orange-type hat as Joyce giggles mischievously.Buffy observes a lot of adults hanging out, and realizes that something's missing — namely, vampires. They quickly deduce that the candy is cursed, and that the whole exercise must be a diversion. Buffy grabs Snyder and asks if he knows where to get the candy, which he does. Oz and Willow head off to the library to research the problem while Buffy and Snyder head to the source, which is......a factory at which a crowd of people are clamoring for more candy. Buffy wins a free trip to Therapyville as she sees Giles and Joyce making out. Finally, Buffy jumps up onto the loading dock and finds Ethan inside the factory. Buffy and Giles chase him down and make the weaselly warlock reveal the plan. He says the candy was just to render the town helpless while Trick and his vampires collect a big tribute for some demon named Larconis, but he doesn't know the what. We get an answer to that question as a troop of vamps enter an unsupervised maternity ward and steal all of the newborns.Giles has a flash of memory: Larconis is a deity of filth, so he probably resides in the sewers. Down below, the ritual is underway, where hooded vamps chant ominously while the Mayor looks on. Buffy drops in and engages Trick's vampire minions in combat while Giles and Joyce wheel the babies to safety. Wilkins beats a hasty retreat. Trick and Buffy get ready to rumble, but Giles hauls off and throw a solid left to Trick's face — but he's unfazed. He shoves Giles into the Lurconis' feeding pool, distracting Buffy long enough for Trick to make his escape. A rumbling starts, and an enormous, snake-like head emerges from a nearby tunnel. Buffy, thinking quickly, rips open a gas line, forming a jet of fire that sets Lurconis ablaze.At school, a sober Principal Snyder commandeers Willow, Oz, Cordelia and Xander to help clean up some graffiti. Buffy puts the damage done to her mom's car in perspective by reminding Joyce and Giles, "At least I got to the two of you before you actually did something." Giles and Joyce hastily walk in opposite directions.
"I don't know, but it's happened to a whole lot of grown-ups."
"They're acting like a bunch of—"
"They're acting like a bunch of us!
[indignant] "I don't act like this."
Willow and Buffy

In less than one month's time I get to share the stage with one of the biggest names in Leadership. I will be in Asuncion, Paraguay with John Maxwell speaking at a leadership seminar. This will not be a multi-day conference with 20 other speakers; it's just a one-day event with the two of us.
Now it's not like we're splitting stage time 50/50. I am the opener. I'm like the warm up band that gets on before the main act that everybody has come to see. Last week a friend from Paraguay sent me a photo from the newspaper that was promoting the event. In it you see this huge picture of John Maxwell and then down at the bottom there's a tiny square with my head in it. It's perfect. In fact, this is the thrill of a lifetime. Its akin to a high school basketball player getting to shoot hoops with Michael Jordan or an artist sharing some studio time with Picasso. Maxwell really is on that level.
Now you might be wondering how I managed to secure such a high profile booking?
Well, it all began when my immigration lawyer called me with some bad news.
I moved to the US from Canada over three years ago. While I was waiting for my Green Card to process I received a call from an association that wanted me speak at their conference. This was a great opportunity except my work visa at the time didn't allow me to work for more than one client, which is why I needed my Green Card.
Meanwhile, halfway around the world, Liz, a young Guatemalan mother of two was recovering from her battle with cancer. Doctors had discovered an aggressive tumor in her jaw, which required a large section of her jawbone to be removed. Through fundraising efforts of a group in Florida, Liz was flown to the US for the procedure. The doctors were able to use part of her hip to rebuild her jaw. With the surgery a success, Liz returned to Paraguay to be with her family. While the surgery saved her life, it also wiped out most of the teeth on the right side of her face. The next hurdle was finding a surgeon to figure out how to install dental implants into the fused bone. This required several trips back to the US over the period of a year to complete the procedure. This is when I first met Liz.
Since I could not accept payment to speak at the conference, I asked them if they would be willing to donate my fee to help pay for the final stage of Liz's procedure. They were more than happy to and because of their generous donation Liz was able to have teeth again on the right side of her mouth. It was a happy ending.
Almost a year later and Liz is back in Asuncion attending a woman's conference put on by the John Maxwell Team in Paraguay. After the event, she contacts the owners, Timothy and Gabby Teasdale, and tells them about me, insisting that they have me speak at one of their events. They had never heard of me before, and after checking out my website and demo video they invite me to present Nueve Minutos El Lunes (Nine Minutes on Monday) which I did last November in Paraguay. It was so much fun.
A few months later and Timothy and Gabby (the owners of the John Maxwell Team in Paraguay) are coming to the US for a family vacation. We invite them to stop by our house on their way through and end up spending a great day together with their family at the beach.
A few months after that, they decide to put on a huge event in Asuncion by inviting John Maxwell down to speak. They want to have a second speaker be part of the event and so they end up calling me.
So that is how I ended up on the program with one of the most respected names in leadership and a person I have looked up to for years. In fact, John's book The 21 Laws of Leadership was one of the first two leadership books I ever read. The other being The Leadership Challenge by James Kouzes and Larry Posner.
Looking back now, when my immigration lawyer called me with the bad news that day, I had no idea it would lead to such an incredible opportunity. So the next time you experience a setback, whether in your life or your business, try to make the best of it. Because you never know what chain of events may unfold, ushering you into a situation that you never imagined possible.

So, you've left the nest. Maybe you bailed on your suburban childhood home for college, or for life in a big city, or a town across the state. Maybe you have the occasional tendency to think you're pretty hot shit because you're off doing Big Exciting Things while everything back home seemingly stands still. Rest assured, however, that whatever impression you have of yourself as some above-it-all hip young thing will dissipate as soon as you, along with all the others who fled, descend upon your hometown. Celebrating the holidays back home is a mental time warp that keeps you seesawing between nostalgia and annoyance every few seconds until you finally leave town again. This insanity tends to arrive in stages as you sink deeper into the Thanksgiving fever dream. After the jump, a few universal facepalm moments that arise when you visit your hometown for Thanksgiving – in GIFs! Keep reading »

Yes, I did register a new name. I have read the TFP for years and finally decided to speak up - Enough is enough.
"I don't believe that Clay Bennett is attempting to ridicule high school students as much as he is trying to expose a trend on Signal Mountain."
And this "trend" is ONLY on Signal Mountain. . .?
"I doubt any other area in the surrounding counties has had that many underage drinking busts in the last three years."
You doubt, but you don't know, because it isn't deemed newsworthy in any other area.
I'm not saying I approve of underage drinking, only that coverage if/when warranted should be fair.
And it is fairly obvious that Bennett is trying to ridicule these students. And along the same line, was TFP covering the story not enough, did they really have to post the pictures? If anyone was THAT interested, they could have looked them up on Right to Know.
Alprova - I'm glad neither a younger you, nor your children, have ever shown bad judgment. But if you did or they did, I'm sure you would be ok with have pictures posted and having your bad decisions covered in detail in the press.
I have said all I have to say on the matter. I will leave the rest of the discussions to the perfect people with perfect children.
Coming Soon
Several things bother me about this cartoon and the coverage by TFP. 1)True, drinking under 21 is against the law - even though at 18 you are mature enough to elect city/state/national leaders and give your life for your country. 2)The students were AT A HOME, they were not on the road. Should they have been the priority on a Saturday night, instead of DUIs? 3)To arrest this many people, exactly how many Signal Mtn police and cars did it take? Was the rest of the city unpatrolled during this time that SMP were chasing these "hardened criminals"? 4)WHY does TFP give such ONGOING coverage to happenings on SM? Is there nothing else to write about? Is there no crime, unemployment, gang violence, etc anywhere else in the county? 5)Was this the ONLY party in the county Saturday night where there was underage drinking? Looking at the cartoon, you would think so. You would be led to believe that ONLY Baylor, McCallie, and GPS students were drinking Saturday night. If this had happened ANYWHERE else, to any students other than GPS, McCallie, Baylor, or God forbid, Signal Mountain Students, this would have been a non-issue, unworthy or news coverage, and probably not resulting in arrests. 6)Why focus on the negative? Will the TFP list all the scholarships these students are about to receive? 7)Alternative captions: No, it's not about a party at the Kennedy mansion/Kennedy beach house. Comparing these students to the Kennedy's - REALLY?! Wasn't the Kennedy family one of the most prestigious and well respected political families in the history of our country? Didn't two of them lose their lives while in service to this country? TFP - You are only hurting yourself. When you cover such inane "news events" in a city the size of Chattanooga, you show your pettiness. Clay Bennett - Even this is beneath you, and that is saying a lot. You try to be funny at the expense of others. Businesses and corporations can handle it, they aren't individuals. But when you use your high profile, public position to ridicule high school students, there is something fundamentally wrong with you and the people you work for. And no, I do not have children at Baylor, McCallie, or GPS. I am just a Chattanooga citizen who looks to the TFP for newsworthy material and sees this foolishness on a too regular basis.

Irish Poet Under Fire For 'Sexual Grooming'

Sounds like grooming. A wealthy Westerner in a third world country 'dating' various 16 year olds…Weren't there people his age in that country, and why was no specific relaionship, formed? Just a procession of 16 year olds. Hmmm
What's the age of sexual consent in Nepal? Presumably below 16. So where's the crime?

Fit Travel: 10 Best Coastal Hikes in the United States
America has thousands of miles of hikeable trails stretching up the east and west coasts, ringing the Great Lakes and lining the Alaskan shoreline. Here are the 10 best walking routes for hiking junkies looking to plan a vacation.
Follow 1 / 11
Twenty-three of America's 50 states are edged by thousands of miles of ocean coastline (12,479 to be exact). If you count states bordered by the Great Lakes, that brings America's coastline mileage to a whopping 94,122. Not all of it's hikeable—unless maybe you're a ballsy woodsman comfortable with a compass and map—but both national and state parks services have bushwacked and prepped thousands of miles of coast creating treks prime for a hiking junkie's vacation.
Here are the 10 best coastal hikes in the U.S. All you need is time off, a solid pair of boots, and you're just a grueling climb away from the best views of ocean or lake in America.

Jarritos in DC?
- woodleyparkhound Oct 12, 2010 07:06 AM
Tamarind Jarritos came up on another thread... thought I'd start a new topic on this, as it's pretty far afield of the topic of the other thread.
I just learned that Jarritos is a Mexican soda made without HFCS. Where is it available in DC? I'm especially interested in the tamarind flavor.
Any Mexican Tienda or Bodega, and some supermarkets carry Jarritos soda.

I had mine at Surfside in Glover Park (wow, the fish tacos were kind of awesome and HUGE), but I've seen it around elsewhere...I would bet most places around Columbia Road/Mt Pleasant would have it. There's a market on Mt. Pleasant St. which should be a good source. Maybe even the Safeway on Columbia Road?
re: hamster
I'll check that Safeway. I pop round there from time to time. Thanks!
re: woodleyparkhound
That Safeway didn't have it... sigh...
The Mexican govenmrent has adopted policies which favor using sugar instead of HFCS. Many sodas from Mexico are made with sugar. If you want to have a nice cold tamarindo, go to Taqueria El Charrito Caminante and get a goat taco - it was spectacular yesterday- with a Jarritos tamarindo.

If you're looking for a place in DC, the small grocery markets and bigger Bestway on Mt Pleasant St sell Jarritos in all kinds of flavors, including tamarindo. I have bought them there several times just to have and for my Latino-themed get-togethers.
re: nickdanger
Thanks, Nick, but I need a place that is Metro-accessible in DC.
re: woodleyparkhound
I was thinking that when I posted, sorry. Have you tried Trader Joe's?
re: nickdanger
No, I haven't. I'll look the next time I go; thanks!
re: woodleyparkhound
Don't bother trying Trader Joes. They don't have it. Just find an Hispanic market (corner or super) and they will have it. You can also get Tamarind syrup and make your own soda.
re: woodleyparkhound
Mt Pleasant's Latino markets are metro accessible--Columbia Heights (or Circulator from Adams Morgan metro).
re: DCcook
Oops, mean Woodley Park metro on the Circulator.
re: DCcook
Sorry to be a bit thick, DCcook, but could you give me the name of one or tell me a block or two that these are in? I've been having some medical problems that make it difficult to walk, so I'd like to have a good idea of where I'm going before I set off walking. I'm on that Circulator all the time - it will be easy to make this happen. Thanks!
re: woodleyparkhound
Fortunately, Mt Pleasant St isn't too long of a street. There are about 2-3 Latino markets on the left side as you head north. The biggest one is Bestway, near Lamont St. The others are so small and I don't really notice their names but you may want to head straight to Bestway anyway...you'll pass the smaller ones on the way. Hope that helps.
re: woodleyparkhound
The Shoppers on Rt. 1 in Alexandria City, just south of Crystal City, is about a mile walk from the Crystal City metro
If you're looking for it at a restaurant, Oyamel has it in three flavors (mandarin, grapefruit and tamarind).
Pretty much any grocery store or Mexican restaurant has them. Tamarindo is the best of the line. Giant has them in the latin food section. Safeway probably does, too. Hell, any grocery store in Wheaton, Langley Park or Silver Spring will have it.
Hi woodleyparkhound -- In addition to the Mount Pleasant places (which I expect you'd enjoy looking through anyway), the Taco Pica that's in the Argonne, on Harvard by Columbia, also has Jarritos -- I had a tamarind one there the other night, with dinner, in your honor -- and it's directly across from the 42 bus stop there, to cut down on your walking (the circulator goes by there, but I don't think it stops there). They often also have Mexican (non hfcs) Coke and the other night they had this interesting coconut juice drink (from thailand).
I would have thought they had it at the Columbia Safeway... I don't think of it as really unusual or particularly special -- I think you'll also find it on most menus at Mexican/Central American restaurants.
What I miss is good "refrescos naturales" especially tamarind -- mostly around here they are way way too sweet, very little flavor, but I keep ordering just in case -- so if anybody has a recommendation. Just FYI, if you're interested, a really good fresh tamarind drink is at Old City, the middle-eastern place on Columbia, near the Safeway -- it's different than a Central American version, took me a little getting used to, now I really love it. I don't think they list it on the menu, but have always had it when I've been there.

re: mselectra
After having had an especially bad day today (an error in the painful biopsy I had done today means it must be re-done in a yet more painful way next week) it really brought a smile to my face to learn that you had a tamarind Jarritos at Pico Taco in my honor. :-) I have eyed that place a million times with the intent to go. I must get myself there! I will also check out the drink at Old City you mentioned; thanks for the suggestions!

re: woodleyparkhound
Also note that Pico Taco has a second location at 14th and Florida, if you're in the U Street area. I cannot remember if they have Jarritos, but it's pretty likely they offer the same stuff. I will make a note next time I visit. Have enjoyed tacos and tortas here. It's a great addition to the neighborhood.

re: woodleyparkhound
Well it also cheered me that I inadvertently helped out on a bad day! But so sorry to hear about the biopsy and all -- hope you're feeling better now or very soon, sending good thoughts your way.
Perhaps also related to this thread -- if the Mt Pleasant farmers market is convenient for you, they've got a couple cooked food stands there now, at least one is Peruvian (I think that's right) and they've had interesting drinks there -- this weekend it was horchata, which I didn't try...
re: mselectra
Have you tried the ones at Taqueria Nacional near Union Station? I had a watermelon one that was pretty good.
Taqueria Nacional
400 N Capitol St NW, Washington, DC
re: hamster
I actually have had the watermelon drink there and liked it, I'd forgotten about that. It's pretty out of my usual orbit to get over there -- thanks for the reminder.
re: hamster
Thanks, hamster! I've been in the hospital since 11/15 - should be getting out Mon. I'm facing a long recovery, so I'm out of commission restaurant-wise. But this sounds delicious- to be checked out once I'm back on my feet!
re: woodleyparkhound
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. Best wishes and get well soon!
Hmart in Gaithersburg carries the tamarind, grapefruit, mango, lime, mandarin and pineapple, if anyone is looking for them outside the Beltway.
Just spotted tamarind Jarritos - small and large bottles! - at the Giant in Columbia Heights!

An aspect of a baseball game that we give very little thought to are the bats used. Bats are a very personal issue with ball players — and at the professional level it is almost a 'reverent sacrilege' to fool with another player's bat. Furthermore, let the equipment manager put a regular player's bat in a different position in the rack and the dugout will become a scene of chaos.
The same is true on the collegiate level – get to PK Park early and watch the players take batting practice. When a Duck player comes to the batting cage to take his swings, you will see as many as three bats in his hands, while his ball glove is just hanging somewhere in the dugout. Player's bats are a sacred focus for those who are serious about their performance, and as fans, we tend to overlook the carefully selected bat in his hand.
Our Ducks, settling on what feels good, have selected their bats – some, maybe junior outfielder Kyle Garlick, will swing a small-handled "fat" barrel model ( 2.75″), having that heavier, power feel. Another, maybe freshman shortstop Kevin Minjares, a slightly "fatter" handle and a 2.5″standard barrel, which gives a lighter, quicker bat control perception.
Generally speaking, the big guys like the heavier models as they provide more power, while those players of smaller stature generally carry lighter-feeling bats to the plate.
Although players at the college level also will generally swing a 33- or 34-inch bat, of actual importance is a bat's Drop-Rating. The Drop-Rating is the length of the bat minus its weight, and an example of this measurement could be a 34-inch bat with a 31-ounce weight giving the bat a Drop-Rating of -3 or a 34-inch bat with a 22-ounce weight thus a Drop-Rating of -12.
The heavier bats, perhaps one used by senior outfielder Tyler Baumgartner (5'11", 192 lbs.), could have a Drop-Rate of -3 or -4. By contrast, senior outfielder Connor Hoffman (5'10" , 170 lbs.), may swing a 34″-bat with a Drop-Rate of -12, which to the fans at PK Park, would look exactly like the bat brought to the plate by Baumgartner.
In NCAA college baseball and most amateur leagues, players are carrying composite or aluminum alloy-constructed bats. An exception would be an amateur league that has organized to use wooden bats in their play.
The Cape Code League – where Duck 3rd baseman Scott Heineman spent the 2013 summer playing with the Brewster Whitecaps – is known as a Wooden Bat League. The famous and aforementioned Louisville Slugger, constructed of wood taken from the Ash tree, has been a favorite of Major Leaguers for decades.
While we are talking about Heineman, you need to know he led his league in stolen bases, while carrying a batting average of .304. That league is noted to have a ton of team talent and play at a quality level greater than most professional rookie leagues.
Heineman's career as a Duck reflects his talent (recruited as an infielder). He was moved to catcher the fall of 2012 and throughout the preseason of 2013, but he started in center field for the opener in Hawaii — and remained at that position for the entire 2013 Duck and summer league baseball seasons. Not surprisingly, he opened the 2014 season at 3rd base. Scott was obviously a quality recruit, but coaching has made him a more productive team member.
The bats used by the Ducks, and all other NCAA teams, must conform to a rating known as Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR). That is the measurement of the bat barrel surface recoil after contact with a pitched ball. This is so important that, at the 2013 College World Series, a number of composite bats were disallowed for use in series play because they exceeded the allowable BBCOR.
The NCAA, in their stewardship of the college game, is answering the criticism that metal and composite bats produce a more active response when contacting a baseball, by setting new standards for that response.
The standard is set to mimic the comparable recoil of a wooden bat surface and when you enjoy the play of our Ducks at PK Park, you will notice the metallic "ping" – once heard when metal bats contacted the ball – is gone. As an aside,
The Ducks' 2013 record of 48 wins and 16 losses – a .666 winning percentage – is that of an elite college program, but still we heard a lot of criticism following post-season play last year – "The Ducks were all pitching but couldn't hit." "They didn't get through regional play because they didn't have the hitting."
So — is this the season where they put it all together? We will continue to discuss these observations, and others, throughout the season.
Gar Pearson says, "Until next time, Take two and hit deep to right!"

My Other Reviews
AT&T U-Verse
I will be updating this review as time goes on. I will add updates in chronological order from top to bottom. An update is available at the bottom as of 1/15/2013.
The installation of my service was completed yesterday. I order the VIP package (Voice, Internet, Phone). I am getting about 160, or so, TV channels, including their family cable selection, and the HD equivalents of their family Cable channels if they are available. I am getting an upgrade from 12Mbps to 15Mbps due to subscribing to their phone service. The overall base price is $79.85 per month; it comes to about $103 per month with the fees, one DVR box rental, and cable modem rental. This is still about $85 less per month than what I was paying for Uverse.
The installer called me on my cell phone at work and asked to come by the house early if he could, I obliged him. I guess it is better early than late. He arrived basically on time for the newer, earlier time. The overall time to install took about 1.5 hours. The installer had to run a new drop cable from the pole to the side of my house; the old drop was removed due to damage and its age. In other words, I saw that it was old, and damaged it by cutting it off my house.
He was able to otherwise utilize all the existing cable I had place in my house going to the outlets in various rooms. These cables are fairly new, dating back to 2007, and they were installed by DirecTV and also used by Uverse. The 1.5 hours was partly achieved by me assisting the installer in connecting two of my TVs and channel scanning them myself. I am only leasing one DVR, and the other two TVs in the house are just using their built in, QAM tuners, in order to save money, so he only has to work directly with one TV. The installer did express frustration with the receiver box activation process. That seemed to be the most time consuming process of the whole install. It only took him minutes to run a new cable to the house, put in a grounding block and splitter, and get the internet and phone going. However, the process of getting the DVR/receiver box going appears to be frustrating to him. It took some time to the Dispatcher center to get all the subscribed channels to come in. Basically, there is a process he call hitting the box. He said that it can take several times to be successful, and my install seemed to require a few tries. The install, while fairly polite to me, seemed somewhat frustrated with his job as well.
Post installation impressions:
So far, I am pleased with the service. The internet service has a low latency so far, and the speeds are close to advertised. I have used the phone service for several calls, and I am happy with the call quality. The TV service takes some getting used to, especially if you have used Uverse or satellite. The DVR receiver is a little laggier than Uverse, but not as slow on channel changes as DirecTV or Dish Network. If you havent subscribed to cable for a while, you will be somewhat confused by the channel numbering if you have any TVs using a digital, QAM tuner. A channel may be one number on the receiver, and another channel number on a TV not using a receiver but a QAM tuner. For instance, the SD feed of Comedy Central is channel 48 on the digital receiver, but channel 53-13 on a TV that is using a digital QAM tuner. Comedy Central is also in HD on channel 871, but only if you have a digital receiver. In fact, only the local broadcast channels are in HD without an HD receiver. The strangest thing of the whole setup from Mediacom is the fact that the HD/DVR receiver uses an external SATA hard drive. It seems like that could be a point of failure in the future. I was kind of disappointed to find out that the installer didnt hook it up correctly before he left. I had to go through a process to get it to work, and had to read an annoying message on the screen saying that a new hard drive has been found and telling me to hit enter to restart the receiver. This didnt work until I called support to get automated help.
Overall, I am satisfied so far. The HD picture quality could be better, and the internet speeds fluctuate a bit more than Uverses did. However, the latency is much lower than with Uverse with its channel interleaving, and I am getting ah higher max speed for the price. If things go like they are now, I should be happy for a while.
Here is a speed test I took, in the evening, a tough time for cable speeds:

Digital Ready HD Broadcast Basic:
Update 2/9/2012
So far, the phone service has been great, and the internet has been rock solid. However, the HD DVR has proven to be a bit problematic. Basically the Pace DC700X HD receiver with an external My Book AV SATA drive appears to be somewhat fragile. In the midst of trying to pull a USB cable out from around my Playstation 3, I must have dislodged or loosened one of the cords going to the external SATA drive, and I began to get an Error 20. This error basically indicates that the receiver detects a new external hard drive and needs to reboot. However, this is often a process that begins many reboots. As of now, I have no functioning DVR service, and a call to the automated troubleshooting service didnt fix the problem. I have a service call scheduled for Saturday February 11, 2012. I really hope that I can get a DVR that is one piece. The support tech was really polite on the phone when I called a short time ago.
Update 2/11/2012
I just had a Mediacom tech come to the house. He was very professional and polite, and he quickly saw that the box I was given was mismatched with the external hard drive that was provided, or vice versa, dont remember exactly which way around. He said they may work then quit, and will be unreliable. He replaced with an older all in one DVR until they can provide a newer one with more space or that can use the 500GB external one I had. The DVR I now have is 250GB. I think the DVR thing is going to get worked out. I will say that even if I would have stayed with Uverse I was going to have to have a new DVR. My Uverse one was acting flakey. Otherwise, the phone service continues to work well, and the internet is still very fast. I guess the nodes in this area are in good shape.
Update 3/3/2012
I was affected by an internet service outage that caused an interruption to Florida, Alabama, and Georgia yesterday afternoon and evening. Service was restored sometime in the later evening hours. I am not exactly sure how long the service was out, I had other things going on at the same time. Cable TV and Phone service wasnt affected, at least to my location. Once service was restored, I have noticed no adverse affects on my internet speeds and ping times, so it is good now. So far, things have been pretty good. I have still been happy with the phone, internet, and TV service. The internet service has reliable speeds and pings, even in the evening hours. Also, outside the outage yesterday, there hasnt been in problems so far. The phone service has been great. It doesnt seem like you are using a VOIP line, none of the jitter is present that I have noticed in other VOIP providers in the past. The TV service is good so far as well. I have to say that it isnt anything that is going to wow anyone with the selection and picture quality; however, it is good enough to keep me happy. They have enough of an HD selection that I feel I have enough to watch in HD and not feel an HD TV is a waste. The picture quality could be a little bit better, but hopefully they will be able to improve that with newly available bandwidth when the delete the remaining analog channels on the system. If I am not mistaken, their website mentions this as a possibility for improving PQ and HD selection. On a separate note, the DVR I got after my service call a few weeks ago hasnt given me any major problems. The only thing that could be better with this specific DVR is the storage capacity. Beyond that, I have noticed a problem sometimes when watching a record program having to do with, I have concluded, a change in resolution that occurs on HD channels when local commercials are inserted into a program. It seems that local commercials that are inserted by Mediacom are of a lower resolution than the normal HD programming. Therefore, when forwarding through commercial when watching a recorded program on the DVR, the screen will often go blank requiring me to press play to get the picture back and then resume forwarding to get to the next point in the program. It isnt anything that wrecks my enjoyment of the DVR yet, but it is an annoyance from time to time. Hopefully newer DVRs in circulation will fix this.
Update 6/30/2012
It has been a while since I have updated my review. I am still pretty happy with the service although there have been a few minor things. Mediacom has just deleted most of their analog channels in this area, so they now have more bandwidth available for more HD and better PQ which they have used. The PQ seems better, and they have added quite a few more HD channels. Also, they have made DOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding available to this area, so that is a plus since faster speeds are possible. Also, they are provisioning everyones modem for channel bonding even if they arent paying for a tier that needs it; you just need a DOCSIS 3.0 modem.
Overall, the service has been very reliable. There has been one internet outage since I have been using their HSI product; it was a southeast regional outage that lasted a few hours. Beyond this, the high speed internet service has been stable.
As far as the TV goes, there has been only some minor things happen, never a complete outage. There were a few spells in the recent past where there was macro blocking and pixilation on all of the channels, or most of them. This was a problem that occurred, as far as I know, at the head end, and was resolved within a few hours of me reporting it. Furthermore, there was a recent incident where some of the local HD channels were missing from my QAM tuner enables TVs. I think this was a channel mapping issue that was finally resolved after a few service calls. The service calls werent actually able to resolve this issue, the technicians were puzzled as to what was going on as well, and finally I think that the local management realized it wasnt a drop problem and got the problem fixed.
Beyond these first two things with the TV service, I did have another issue after I returned my HD DVR box upon purchasing a TiVo. Basically, my account was changed after returning the HD DVR box and this lead to my cable card in my new TiVo not being able to get the premium channels for a day or so. It took Mediacom about a day, but they finally figured out what was wrong.
The phone service has been good, and I have no problems with it. It even worked when the internet was out, something that wont be able to happen with Vonage or other VoIP providers.
Update 1/15/2013
Its been a while, so I decided to add an update. I am actually about to move from Mobile to Birmingham, solidly in Charter territory. Overall, I have been happy with Mediacoms service. It has been very reliable except for a system outage, mentioned above, and a few TV glitches. The main thing lately has been some occasional pixilation and macro-blocking on some channels. It seems, for some reason that these tend to occur more at night late. The one thing I am glad to report is that the phone service has been rock solid. I think I have maybe had to reset the phone modem one or two times in the past year.
The only thing I have, that I may add in the future to this review is going to be what happens when I have to break my contract. I have no choice; a better job with more money (which I need) is waiting for me 250 miles away north of Mobile. My next reviews will probably Charter and Vonage.
Update 6/6/2013
I mentioned before that I would add info about what occurred when it was necessary for me to break my contract. There was no problem with this. I think it all comes down to me having to give an out of town address for my last bill. I was not charged a buyout; in fact, I got a small refund for cancelling during the month. The funny part was that after I moved, I got a mailer from Mediacom telling me about Charters services and giving a special offer. Overall, my Mediacom experience was good. If I moved back to the area, I would give them another try. By the way, if you are interested in how Charter is doing, see my new review for them. Mediacom seems to have an edge on getting TiVo to work.
Thats all for now!

Property is in demand due to reduced inventory, as there are more potential buyers than sellers. Bidding wars with other buyers are possible, and listings begin to sell at greater than the asking price.

WBTT singer has star potential
Date: January 27, 2010
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
Chris Eisenberg may only be in his second year with the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, but his spot-on performance as a young Michael Jackson in the troupe's "Motown '60s Revue" is generating big buzz for the small singer.
Eisenberg, a sixth-grader at Brookside Middle School, joined the troupe in 2009 for its production of "The Crooners," an all-male musical tribute to soul songs from the 1970s. His animated high-pitched performance as the youngest member of the Jackson 5 was such a crowd favorite that WBTT Artistic Director Nate Jacobs decided to open his 10th anniversary season with a Motown set, casting Eisenberg in his favorite role — MJ.
"My first year I was so scared," says Eisenberg. "I was nervous I wouldn't make a good impression. I did more listening than talking, I think."
Unlike other child performers, Eisenberg doesn't crave attention. Given his onstage dynamism, you'd expect him to be hyper or charismatic beyond his years. He's neither.
Calm and thoughtful, Eisenberg is just a kid who grew up singing to whatever CDs his parents slipped into the car stereo.
"We wanted him to have a variety of musical interests," says Eisenberg's mother, Josephine, who noticed her son singing the most whenever Jackson 5's "Greatest Hits" was played.
When Eisenberg heard he'd be playing Jackson again this year, he and his parents surfed YouTube for clips, viewing hours of footage, from the singer's earliest years to his last. He perfected Jackson's moonwalk, mastering what he calls the art of "shifting your weight to the front of your foot and pushing back."
Jacobs, a former theater teacher at the Westcoast School for Human Development, has spent his entire career mentoring young actors and singers — many now perform in WBTT. The first time Eisenberg arrived for rehearsal, Jacobs was not only impressed with the boy's voice, he was blown away by Eisenberg's willingness to listen.
"Chris really wants to go somewhere," Jacobs says. "He's laid-back and quiet, but his spirit is alive. I immediately noticed growth from last season. The confidence is coming."
As it should be. Eisenberg is a local celebrity. Last week WBTT sold out all of its evening performances.
Eisenberg, however, is unaffected. Following the troupe's Jan. 20 preview performance, Eisenberg clung to Jacobs' side, steering clear of the ambush of hugs and kisses from female fans. On the car ride home he asked his parents if he could stay up later than usual to watch a rerun of "SpongeBob SquarePants."
"Ultimately, he's still 12," Josephine says. "He's at an age where whatever happens he just wants to come home and play Xbox and watch cartoons."
If You Go
The Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe is performing "The Motown '60s Revue" through Feb. 7, at Art Center Sarasota. For tickets, visit www.wbttroupe.org or call 366-1505.

Beyond the Hills [Dupa Dealuri] Movie Review
With this viscerally involving drama, acclaimed Romanian filmmaker Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) tells another strikingly original story of women caught between old and new world beliefs. And what makes the film so striking is Mungiu's ability to let us identify so closely with people with whom we have nothing in common on the surface.
Far outside the nearest town, an isolated convent tries to maintain life as it would have been lived centuries earlier: there's no electricity and water comes from a well, but the orthodox priest (Andriuta), mother superior (Tapalaga) and nuns all get on with their daily chores. Then one nun, Voichita (Stratan), has a visit from Alina (Flutur), who grew with her in the town orphanage but moved to Germany after they turned 18. Alina is shocked by Voichita's superstition-ruled life in the convent and wants her to come back to Germany with her. But the other nuns think that Alina's mood swings are a sign of demonic possession.
The film is so realistically shot and acted that we feel like we're right there in the muddy convent with them all, shivering at the chill as winter closes in. Their priorities might be simplicity and spirituality, but with their isolationistic worldview, the nuns are also terrified of anything new and different, resorting to ancient rituals that sometimes make this feel like a horror movie. The actors play all of this in a way that's raw and often unnervingly earthy.
Intriguingly, this isn't just a film about the clash between old-world faith and modern-day ideas. It's much more complicated than that, exploring social issues like underfunded health care and the legacy of child abuse. And of course the perilous actions of a group facing someone they see as a dangerous interloper. Indeed, this is bold, challenging filmmaking that's sometimes indulgent (the middle section feels repetitive and over-long) and often a bit too provocative. But the final act is intensely dramatic and deeply disturbing. And there aren't many films that so effectively take us away from our world, then return us with a lot to think about.
