Gay sheriff prompts intriguing questions
By PAULINE ARRILLAGA
Originally printed 3/1/2012 (Issue 2009 - Between The Lines News)
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) -
A few days ago, the Yavapai Tea Party gathered at a church in rural Arizona to discuss the all-too-familiar topic of illegal immigration. Among the conservative, mostly over-55 crowd, it is a subject seen in black and white. Build a fence, add agents, reject amnesty - period.
And so it was all the more striking when, off to the side in a room with "Jesus Loves Us!!" written on a chalkboard, the conversation turned to the subject on everyone's mind, if not the agenda: The conservative Arizona sheriff and Republican candidate for Congress who less than a week earlier had admitted to reporters, his constituents - indeed to the world - that he is gay.
The absolutes were, in large part, absent.
Consider the comments of Bill Halpin, a 64-year-old ex-Air Force pilot who serves on the local tea party board: "I care less. I just care less. Don't preach it on me. Don't push it on me and, by golly, I respect your rights." And this from Mona Patton, the 60-year-old real estate agent who is the group's president: "I'm a Christian, but who am I to make a judgment about somebody else? I don't have that right, and I look beyond that. ... I still believe in him. I still back him. I still like him. That doesn't affect that."
Sheriff Paul Babeu's "coming out" moment on Feb. 18 was surreal enough, given the man, his politics and the venue - a news conference in front of the Pinal County Sheriff's Department with Babeu, in uniform, surrounded by deputies. Then, of course, there was the startling reason for the sudden admission: a story in an alternative weekly publication in which a former lover accused Babeu of threatening his immigration status if he revealed their relationship.
Now the conversations that have ensued here since - in one of the most politically conservative states in all the union - are astonishing in their own right. There are questions, many of them, about Babeu and his "choices" and judgment, about whether the sheriff may have somehow abused his power. Yet voters, Republican voters in particular, are also asking some intriguing questions of themselves, about acceptance and identity and values, about what really matters most to them.
"This may be a litmus test," said Patton, not just of whether a gay man can survive running for Congress in a deeply conservative district in a red state but, more so, of the contrast between how far society has come - and still has to go. "I have many, many, many friends in my life that are gay and have been gay, and I don't have issues with it. But, you know, it's a hurdle for a lot of people, and it's, I think, a shame. ... I think he's going to have a hard row to hoe."
Before all of this, the 43-year-old was considered a rising star in Republican politics. A retired major in the Army National Guard and an ex-police officer, Babeu was the first Republican elected sheriff in Pinal County, nestled between Phoenix and Tucson in a culturally diverse part of Arizona. Having previously commanded a National Guard unit in the border town of Yuma, Babeu quickly became known for his tough stance on illegal immigration. He appeared alongside Sen. John McCain in a 2010 ad in which McCain advocated completion of a border fence, and last year was chosen as America's "Sheriff of the Year" by his colleagues in the National Sheriffs' Association.
In January, he announced his candidacy for Arizona's newly drawn 4th Congressional District, and polls soon showed him as the favorite against an incumbent tea party Republican who switched districts to run and a GOP state senator who once sponsored legislation to define marriage as being between one man and one woman.
Then came the Feb. 17 headline on the website of the Phoenix New Times: "Paul Babeu's Mexican Ex-Lover Says Sheriff's Attorney Threatened Him With Deportation."
A day later, Babeu found himself before microphones and reporters, denying the threats but acknowledging, with stark candor, that he is gay.
"I'm here to say that all these allegations ... are absolutely completely false except for the issues that refer to me as being gay. Because that's the truth."
Some Arizona political insiders were quick to declare Babeu's congressional aspirations - indeed, his political career - over, in large part because of questions that go beyond his sexual orientation. An independent investigation, begun at Babeu's behest, is looking into the allegations of intimidation and threatening behavior. Babeu has denied threatening his ex-boyfriend with deportation and said his understanding is that the man, originally from Mexico, is in the country legally. The former boyfriend also told CNN that he was here legally.
Still others have questioned Babeu's judgment because of a photograph the New Times published showing him shirtless and standing in his underpants. Babeu had sent the picture to his former boyfriend, and his campaign manager and attorney, Chris DeRose, said Babeu "realizes that was a mistake, and he shouldn't have done that." The New Times also published an old profile of Babeu's from a gay dating website showing another shirtless photograph, with Babeu's face mostly cut out.
Then, on Friday, The Arizona Republic reported that the U.S. Office of Special Counsel is investigating whether one or more of Babeu's employees at the sheriff's office engaged in on-the-job politicking.
As a columnist for that newspaper wrote earlier in the week: "Sheriff Babeu is not in political (or perhaps legal) trouble because his lifestyle has been exposed. He's in trouble because he was involved in a messy relationship that spilled over into his public life and has raised questions about his judgment. And when you're running for the U.S. Congress your judgment is an issue. ... It isn't a gay thing. It's a trust thing."
Whatever the "thing" is, the reaction to it has - thus far - not been quite what some may have expected.
When Babeu posted a link to his news conference on his Facebook page and implored voters to "stand with me as we talk about the issues that matter," more than 1,000 comments flooded in. While some expressed disappointment and said that the sheriff had lost their support or branded him a hypocrite for being gay and Republican, the vast majority supported Babeu - from locals who know him to out-of-staters declaring that they, too, are conservative and gay.
"First gay man I can agree with," read one post. "We conservatives have his back," said another. And: "We still support you Sheriff. Gay or straight. Let's get this country back on the right track."
DeRose said Friday that Babeu had received $17,000 in political donations since his news conference, and that his supporters in Arizona "are more enthusiastic than ever."
Whether this is all just political posturing or even, political correctness that may soon fade remains to be seen. Babeu, who declined an interview request, has vowed to stay in the congressional race, and the primary is still six months off. He continues to make campaign appearances, including a speech at a Lincoln Day dinner the same day he admitted being gay.
"So, how is YOUR weekend going?" he joked, and his audience laughed.
The event was held in Yavapai County in the heart of the congressional district, which covers a huge swath stretching from the border near Yuma through the horse pastures of Prescott Valley up north to the conservative stronghold of Mohave County near the Nevada border. Phoenix political consultant Chuck Coughlin described the district as one of the most right-leaning in the state - with a rural, older demographic that does not "lend one to believe that there is a high degree of likelihood" of Babeu winning the congressional seat or even staying in the race for the long haul.
There have been no openly gay Republicans in Congress since 2006, when another Arizonan - U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe - retired. And the nation's 7,382 state legislators include 93 openly gay Democrats but not a single openly gay Republican, according to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund.
"If you're an openly gay Republican, you face a platform that is sometimes not welcoming," said Chuck Wolfe, the fund's president. "It's going to take a while to reverse that feeling."
Kolbe, who represented a more diverse, swing district than the one that Babeu hopes to win, was elected to Congress in 1985 and disclosed in 1996 that he was gay. Last week, he endorsed Babeu, and he said in an interview that while no one could predict whether Babeu will emerge from this and still be able to succeed politically, "we have come a long way."
"I think in a few years the media won't be paying that much attention to this issue. The public clearly is ahead of the media on this, and as the polls show people don't seem to be that concerned about this kind of an issue," he said. "The issue is whether Paul's a good candidate for Congress or not, and I think he is."
Coughlin and others noted that Babeu has a few things working in his favor: He's charismatic. Arizonans like his stance on illegal immigration and other conservative issues, but they also genuinely like him. Several voters also said that the sheriff's sexual orientation was one of the worst-kept secrets in Arizona political circles and that while they wish it hadn't come out the way it did, the fact itself was hardly surprising.
"Everybody knew on some level, and we never gave it a second thought," said Republican Shawna Thornton, 38, a before-and-after Babeu supporter who lives in Lake Havasu City, within the 4th District, and believes that the now openly gay sheriff still has a chance.
Old assumptions of how party affiliation defines a voter's position on social issues such as homosexuality no longer ring true, insisted Thornton, noting that for her and many others "conservatism" isn't about abortion or gay marriage but rather limited government, fiscal responsibility and "values" in the sense of understanding right from wrong.
"I'm finding that people are more middle of the road, less extreme, more accepting of how different people are deep down inside," she said.
Added Coughlin: "Life's a mosaic of issues and people, and although we want to see the world in black and white there's very little of that around. It's a lot of grays, and a lot of colors in between."
Some voters contacted for this story were hesitant to discuss the situation as they await the outcome of the independent probe. But the ones who did appeared to be genuinely muddling through all that had happened _ and their own feelings about it _ in ways that shunned the extremes.
"Well ... I just think that ... You know, I don't know," said Barry Denton, 52, a horse trainer and president of the Yavapai Republican Men's Forum, whose group played host to Babeu for a speech only days before all the "news" of his private life broke. As always, Denton said, he was well received.
"I think he's done an extremely good job as sheriff, and I think he's done a great thing by making people more aware of the immigration problem. I guess I wish he had come out with the gay thing sooner. I think he should have been a little more upfront, `cause he's a pretty upfront guy.
"I don't agree with his lifestyle. That's his business," he said, "But as far as what he's accomplished, it's been impressive. ... I'm just disappointed."
Denton said he thinks the allegations against Babeu will prove unfounded, and that he hadn't yet picked a candidate to back. When asked whether all of this might persuade him to choose someone other than Babeu, he said: "I haven't come to any conclusion there yet."
There were similarly mixed feelings at the tea party meeting on illegal immigration, at which Babeu was initially scheduled to speak. Tea party representatives and Babeu's campaign manager said the sheriff had to cancel because of another previously scheduled event.
Jeff Tomb, a businessman who is running for county supervisor in the area, was frank in allowing that he didn't think, in his district, that "the homosexual thing is going to go over real well." But only moments later he questioned his own conclusion: "I don't know. People are getting more and more accepting now. He came out and said it and he was honest about it, which is a big plus. That's a good sign of a good honest man, and we need an honest man."
Halpin and Patton, the tea party board member and president, were among those who said they didn't care whether Babeu is gay. As for whether that meant they could vote for him, Halpin said he wouldn't rule it out, should Babeu remain in the race. (He is, however, adamantly opposed to the Babeu opponent who switched districts.) Patton went further, saying she probably would support the sheriff. But then she admitted that, in reality, she doubted he would remain in the race _ or that he could win if he does.
"You know, we put people in boxes and we expect them to behave a certain way and then when people are outside the lines ... there's punitive measures that happen," she said. "I don't know. I just hope people are bigger than that, and I don't know that they're going to be. I don't know what to tell you. This is such a difficult situation. I wish it had not come down the way it did. I wish it hadn't happened."
"But," she said, "here we are."

Ryan Dempster was a name on Boston's mind before the trade deadline last summer, but the Texas Rangers ended up scooping him up in their playoff push. Boston is now said to be interested in the right-hander the second time around. The Red Sox have "checked in" on Dempster, according to Alex Speier of WEEI. Dempster, 35, is said to want a three-year deal. Dempster moved from a bullpen role to starting with the Cubs in 2008 and has pitched 200 or more innings in each year since, except for last season. He's gone 65-49 with a 3.74 ERA over those years and was 12-8 with a 3.38 ERA last season with the Cubs and Rangers.

Advice for Petaluma,Novato and Sebastapol
- c
- CabernetFrank Feb 16, 2012 02:04 AM
Will be in the Petaluma,Novato and Sebastapol area for the upcoming Presidents Day Weekend and could use a few recommendations on favorite eateries. Thank you.
Hole in the Wall, Sebastapol, breakfast and other meals
re: wolfe
Has service improved at Hole in the Wall? A friend went before the holidays -- loved the food at lunch or breakfast (I forget), but it was a 1-person operation & tremendously sloooooow.
"Food was good, but didn't justify the wait". He even talked to the cook/server/owner about it because as a local resident, he really wanted the place to succeed. Reply was that Hole in the Wall was trying to find some good permanent help. Did they?
re: Stephanie Wong
Haven't been since my last visit to Walker Apple farm when we had no serving difficulties. That would be early Fall. Don't get t\out there much so try to combine a little if everything, breakfast at Hole, apple pickup, snack at Roy's and for dessert a ginormus scone at Bovine Bakery in Petaluma, didn't like the bread I had a Della Fattoria.
Be sure to go to the upper right-hand corner of this page and do searches for all 3 towns. You should be able to find a number of past threads with many suggestions and recommendations.
Here is an example:
There are a ton of awesome places to eat in Petaluma. I recommend: Taps Restaurant for Sunday Brunch, Lunch or Dinner and they have TONS of beer on tap if you're a beer lover; Waterstreet Bistro for Breakfast or Lunch is a must visit, french cafe, awesome coffee, house made baked goods and fabulous food; Cordoza's Deli for Breakfast or Lunch; Central Market for dinner, farm fresh ingredients, extreme awesomeness; Cucina Paradiso for dinner, awesome Italian food; Volpi's Ristorante for dinner, Italian family style eatery with HUGE portions, it's was a speakeasy and is still around from probation times. Actually that is just in Downtown Petaluma. There's SO many that are good.

I'm not familiar with Novato, but Sebastopol has this ice cream shoppe, Screamin' Mimi's that is a must visit while in town. And Hop Monk tavern is really good... great beer too. Starlight is southern style food, its good but a bit pricey in my opinion, but the restaurant is an old train which is super cool.
Hope this helps you!
When passing through Petaluma I always stop at Della Fattoria if they're open. They make some of the best bread and pastries in the Bay Area and the sandwiches and pizzas are great. Cafe service is friendly but can be slow.
Roy's Chicago Doggery for a fun lunch in Petaluma. It's a diner inside the livestock auction grounds and serves great Chicago style dogs and awesome Italian roast beef. Everything they sell is Vienna brand. Nice folks too.
More advice: just say "no" to Boca Steak and Wild Fox in Novato. Ricky's is good though, if you don't mind eating poolside at the motel.
Boca Steak
340 Ignacio Blvd, Novato, CA 94949
Wild Fox Mesquite Fired Kitchen
225 Alameda del Prado, Novato, CA
Roy's Chicago Doggery
84 Corona, Petaluma, CA 94954
Wild Flour Bakery is worth a quick and beautiful detour from downtown Sebastopol, if you want to try another great bakery stop besides Della Fatoria in Petaluma (the latter of which you can also find at the SF Ferry Building's Saturdays Farmer's Market),
Wild Flour Bread
140 Bohemian Hwy, Freestone, CA
In Petaluma, I strongly second Waterstreet Bistro. Very fresh ingredients, the baked goods are fabulous, soups are great. I also recently had some really delicious Himalayan food at Kumari Pass. If you like Mexican food, Mi Pueblo (either location, the menu is the same) is very good. I especially like the chicken mole enchiladas. Also, Lolita's Market and Taqueria for Mexican is pretty darn amazing. There's no atmosphere to speak of, it's a taqueria inside a Mexican market. But the food is great. I think their mole is even better than Mi Pueblo, but it's a close call.
In Sebastopol, I also strongly second Screamin' Mimi's. If they have lavendar ice cream, just get it. It's amazing. I recently ate a scoop of their fig ice cream that was almost as wonderful. The strawberry rose sorbet is so refreshing. I also love Sushi Hana (not the same as Hana Japenese in Rohnert Park). I know what Anthony Bourdain says about discount sushi, but the sushi specials on Saturday and Wednesday are really great and very very fresh because the turnover is so fast. I particularly recommend the hotate gai and the unagi. They also have a lot of speciality rolls that people keep recommending, but I'm so fond of the nigiri on the specials list that I always stick with that.
Do let us know where you ate and how you liked it!
If you are looking for a casual lunch, I would recommend Ray's Tavern up on Western, they make excellent sandwiches and salads. You can eat it there and have a beer or glass of wine, or you can get it to go as it's a deli as well.
What types of things are you looking to eat? Lunch, dinner, casual, type of foods, atmosphere?
In general, I would point to Della Fattoria and Central Market as some of the best Petaluma has to offer.
Thanks everyone for the kind assistance, but it looks like our trip has gone up in smoke, as a result of my wife getting the flu. Will use the suggestions for our next journey.
I like Hiro's, Real Doner,Mi Pueblo, Petaluma Pie, Speakeasy (all downtown) and Gohan (Japanese restaurant in a stripmall nearer to penngrove). If you are feeling more spendy, Central Market is good. They had a fire and closed but may open this week.

Wyoming has suspended Charles Hankerson indefinitely, head coach Larry Shyatt announced on Monday afternoon. A 6-foot-4 junior guard, Hankerson was averaging 5.1 points and 1.3 rebounds in just over 17 minutes this season. No reason was given for the suspension, and Shyatt said that the team will have no further comment. This is rough timing for…

Hurricanes duo commit to franchise

July 8, 2011

The Hurricanes have received a boost ahead of the 2012 Super Rugby season with news of two key contract renewals.
Loose forwards Serge Lilo and Jack Lam have both committed to the Wellington franchise, with Lam re-signing for one year while Lilo will remain a part of the squad until 2013. Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett was delighted with the news that the flankers had decided to stay in Wellington. "Serge is a true warrior who will always give everything for the team and has great values as a person," Hammett said. "Jack was a consistent performer throughout the campaign and was a great team member. He had a great debut season and picked up the Rookie of the Year award, voted for by his team-mates. We are delighted that he has chosen the Hurricanes and look forward to having him back."
The Hurricanes are, however, facing a battle to keep hold of some key All Blacks with Aaron Cruden still undecided on where his future lies. Cory Jane, meanwhile, has agreed to play for the Hurricanes next season if he decides to stay in New Zealand. "Cory is still considering his options for next year, but he has now signed a contract with us which states that if he plays Super Rugby next year it will be with the Hurricanes rather than any other franchise," Hurricanes chief executive James Te Puni said.
The Hurricanes announced on Thursday that New Zealand international Piri Weepu had been offered a new contract. The Wellington side opted not to renew the contracts of All Blacks Andrew Hore and Ma'a Nonu at the end of the 2011 Super Rugby season.

Help with a 4 night dining itinerary in DC
A conference will be bringing to DC in a few months and I'm starting to get my dining itinerary together. Always like to try the best a city has to offer with a skew toward fine dining.
Day 1
Dinner: Little Serow vs Rasika (original location)
- I want to see what the hype is about at Little Serow and don't have issues with waiting for a table. Any idea on what the line will be like on a weeknight? What time should I get there if I want to sit around 8PM? Rasika is the back-up plan--already been there and enjoyed it.
Day 2
Lunch: ?
Dinner: Komi vs Rogue 24 vs CityZen vs ?
- The conference is at the Omni in the Zoo area, but lunch doesn't need to be nearby. I'd like to keep it around 1.5-2 hours, including travel time. Suggestions welcome.
- I'm very interested in Komi, but the photography ban instituted by Monis is enough to cut it from the list and spend my money at a more accommodating restaurant. However, if it is "that special" to make it worth leaving the camera in my hotel room, I'll consider it. I understand that Rogue 24 removed their photo ban recently but I wonder if the style may be too similar to Minibar, to which I've already committed. Read very good things about CityZen and it may be nice to have a more "classic" as opposed to "modern" meal.
(Please, no editorializing on photography at restaurants. I'm not one of those people who sets of a flash with every photo or uses a cell phone to take blurry pics. I use a professional-grade DSLR and appropriate lens to capture photos in low light.)
Day 3
Lunch: ?
Dinner: Minibar
- Looking for another lunch suggestion that fits the same criteria as above.
- Minibar is set as I'm meeting with friends who also want to go. Please don't waste your time trying to talk me out of it.
Day 4
Brunch/Lunch: ?
Dinner: Table 21 at Volt vs ?
- I'll be skipping out of the conference on this day to go sightseeing. Lunch could be anything in the city, but convenient to the National Mall area would be better.
- I'm going to try for the early seating at Table 21 at Volt and will be renting a car just for that evening to go to the restaurant if I get the reservation. The back-up plan would be any of the other choices from Day #2.
Thanks for any input you guys have.
Komi is unique, in a good way. Rogue 24 is similar to Minibar, but cheaper and better in my opinion. CityZen is good but not unique.
If I had 4 dinners in DC, and based on the choices you've listed, I would do the following: LIttle Serow, Komi, Rogue24 and Volt.
You decide on what days you want to do what, but those would be the 4 four places.
And, yes, I'm trying to talk you out of Minibar.
I like Rasika, but you can save that for lunch.
re: ipsedixit
Thanks for the suggestion. Minibar isn't going to be cancelled, so if you had to pick one of Komi or Rogue 24, which would it be?
re: Ponder99
That's tough Ponder.
Both are unique in their own way. How often do you visit DC? More importantly, where are you from?
I ask not to be difficult, but it helps inform my suggestion to you. Let's say you are from SF, for example, I think would do Komi because you can sort of (and I stress "sort of") experience Rogue at a place like Saison.
re: Ponder99
I personally wouldn't do Rogue 24 and Minibar within a few days of each other, especially since you're doing Table 21 as well. I don't know what's being served at Table 21 these days (haven't been since before Bryan went on Top Chef), but Bryan showed alot of molecular gastronomy techniques on Top Chef Masters. Molecular Gastronomy is fun, but not 3 out of 4 days fun.
re: Worldwide Diner
Good point.
re: ipsedixit
Great advice. I'm in So Cal but travel about twice a year to major cities for conferences.
I figured that Minibar and Rogue 24 were going to be similar as I mentioned in my original post. I enjoy restaurants that showcase molecular/modernist techniques, which are not prevalent where I live now. Three out of 4 days wouldn't bother me a bit.
Is Volt as far down the molecular road as places like Minibar, Moto in Chicago, or wd-50 in NYC? From what I read about it, I thought it was more subtle, like at his brother's restaurant Ink in LA.
I had a fantastic meal at Saison. Knowing that Komi in the same vein definitely helps me understand what kind of restaurant it is.
re: cranberry1
Thanks for all the lunch suggestions. Is there any difference between Rasika's Penn Quarter and West End locations?
Is Central the same as Central Michel Richard?
re: Ponder99
I'm not sure - I think the only difference is decor/newness but I could easily be wrong. I haven't been to the West End location.
Central is Central Michel Richard. It's close enough to the Mall that it may work well for you. If you do go, get the Chocolate Bar dessert. I don't think I'd "waste" a dinner on it, given your alternatives, but it'd be a great lunch.
re: cranberry1
Agree with Little Serow for dinner and Rasika for lunch. I like the smaller tawa-griddle menu options at Rasika compared to their entrees since these are you normally don't get at neighborhood Indian restaurants. This will also save you some stomach space for dinner on day 2.
Day 2 - Dinner: If I were in your shoes this would be a tough choice. Komi is another Johnny Monis restaurant. If you end up going to Little Serow, this makes two Monis restaurants on one trip. The style is totally different but I wouldn't necessarily go to Momofuku Ssam Bar and Ko on the same trip. Rogue 24 the day before Minibar might cause serious restaurant comparisons which might be fun or might leave you feeling like you wasted a dinner. Lastly there's Cityzen. Great service and food but the more traditional high end experience on the list so you may find it a little "boring."
Day 3 - Lunch: Lobster burger at Central could be a good option.
Day 4 - Brunch: How about Kapnos for Greek/Med?
Day 4 - Dinner: Haven't been to Volt. Maybe it's the hour drive that's deterring me. Would appreciate some feedback if you do end up going.
re: shake N baik
I think the tuna burger at Central is outright better than the lobster. But lobster is more expensive.
For lunch, I'd suggest Bourbon Steak, Vidalia, Blue Duck Tavern, and Tosca.
For Little Serow, I think you're probably safe - if you are a party of two - lining up 30 minutes before opening on a weeknight. If you are a party of 3 or 4, then I'd suggest 45 minutes before they open.
In case Table 21 falls through, I'd suggest Rose's Luxury. I think the food there is absolutely outstanding and very creative. Like Little Serow, they don't take reservations. The reviews have been almost universally stellar since they opened in October.
Since you'll be in Woodley Park, I'd also recommend having a drink at the Gin Joint - a great bar that specializes, as the name suggests, in gin. It's the bottom floor of the New Heights restaurant near the metro.
re: eatdceat
If I can't get to Little Serow until about 6:00-6:30PM to put my name in for 2 hoping to eat around 8:30PM, is it even worth trying? I don't get in until the late afternoon and there's no way I'll be able to stand in line by 5PM. Unfortunately, moving it to another night isn't an option.
re: Ponder99
It's possible. I went on either a Thursday or Friday at 6 and got a seat around 9:15.
I would second the suggestion of Blue Duck Tavern for a lunch, and if you happen to have one of your days fall on a weekend, brunch at Mintwood Place would be convenient to your hotel. What about Toki Underground or Daikaya for lunch?
Komi would be on my "must" list. Although you might be a food photo-taker (I'm not, so it didn't perturb me one bit) I'd think that Komi would be one you wouldn't miss out on that much -- the style of presentation is simpler, sparser, and not the kind I would imagine would make you go "I *NEED* a photo of this!"
My trip to Rogue24 (2013) was much more recent than minibar (2009?) so it's hard to give a fair comparison but I really, really enjoyed Rogue24 and getting to interact with RJ Cooper; also, the beverage pairings were better. So good that my recollection gets a wee bit fuzzy towards the last couple courses...
re: rachelcp
Rogue24 is apparently in financial trouble. The chef can't repay his partner and is threatening to quit if issues aren't settled.
Thanks to all for the input. I'm getting near the critical "1 month before" point where reservations for Komi and Table 21 open.
Having gone through the "call and pray" technique at other high demand places like The French Laundry, Eleven Madison Park, and Alinea (pre-tickets), should I expect these reservations will be as difficult? (Busy signals for 45 mins, on hold for 15-20 minutes only to get the 5PM or 9:30PM seating, or even worse, the wait list.)
re: Ponder99
Guess I'll answer my own question.
Volt Table 21: Extremely easy for a weeknight. Called right at 9AM local time. Got an answer, made the res, and got an e-mail confirmation all within 2 minutes.
Komi: Not too bad considering I called on a busy day--a Tuesday after the res line was closed on Sunday/Monday and reservations were being taken for Wednesday/Thursday/Friday. Called right at 12PM local time. Got a busy signal for about 2-3 minutes and then waited for 10 minutes on the hold system. They do take their time explaining the menu, which is a nice service touch, but definitely adds to the wait. Maybe I was just lucky; out of curiosity I called back around 1:00 and the lines were still busy.
Here's my updated itinerary. Dinners: Little Serrow, Komi, Minibar, Volt. Lunches: Central vs Proof, Rasika.
Opinions on Central vs Proof for weekday lunch?
Because we were assigned a White House tour that will happen right at lunch time, I'm now looking for a Saturday morning breakfast place. It would be ideal if it was convenient to the Metro Red Line. I'd really prefer a place that I can get a reservation as I cannot stand waiting for breakfast. Reminder that we're staying in the Woodley Park.
re: Ponder99
There are some things at Central - a French take on American classics - that make it unique. Fried Chicken, corned beef sandwich, tuna burger, macaroni n' cheese.
re: Ponder99
Check out DGS Deli, Blue Duck, and Le Diplomate.
re: Ponder99
Proof is hands above Central in my opinion. I have not had anything I don't like at Proof and love their cheese, charcuterie (sp?), and risotto. The wine and cocktails are winners too.
I have been to Central only once but don't see myself returning. I had the steak tartare that I had read good things about but felt like it was buried in ketchup, which I am not a fan of and my friend was disappointed in her mussels.
re: Ponder99
I'm not a huge fan of Proof at lunch -- it's really more of a dinner place to me. So I'd say Central.
Liberty Tavern in Arlington would be a bit of a trek, but has a stellar breakfast/brunch table that opens at 9 am on Sat & Sun and takes reservations via opentable. It's a block or so from the Clarendon stop on the orange line.
I also love breakfast at Leopold's in Georgetown (Cady's Alley on M) and Cafe Bonaparte on the north end of Georgetown on Wisconsin. Neither takes reservations that early in the day if I remember correctly. Leopold's opens early (8?) but some of their hot daily special items don't end up being ready 'til 9 or 10. Bonaparte opens at 10.
Busboys & Poets is a "local color"-type place that prepares good food, with a focus on organic and veg/vegan options (a plus for me, but not everyone). And there's always Le Pain Quotidien. Saturday breakfast is not loaded with options.
Bidwell is brand new, in the Union Market building, and I believe is open for breakfast/brunch on Saturdays. There were people eating there when I was at the market the other weekend, at least...not sure if many reviews are out on it yet.
re: Ponder99
Between Central and Proof, I would opt for the latter.
re: Ponder99
Founding Farmers is a pretty good breakfast. Open City is good too, and is in Woodley.
I wouldn't go out to Arlington just for Liberty Tavern.
You won't regret Komi!
re: cranberry1
Thanks for all the great replies. I didn't mention that we probably need to be seated around 9:00AM for breakfast to be on time for the White House.
We were originally going to do Blue Duck Tavern for lunch, but I see they have a breakfast too. I narrowed it down to that or Founding Farmers for Saturday morning. Never expect to be blown away by breakfast and just looking for something delicious with local flair.
Still trying to figure out Central vs Proof for lunch. How's the noise level at each compare at lunch? It would be nice if it wasn't deafeningly loud.
re: Ponder99
Don't miss Blue Duck. For lunch or for breakfast, their food - and service - is exemplary. Please make room for a meal there on your itinerary.
I've just come across your thread and must echo the praise for Serow. The queue forms around 430 (sometimes a bit earlier) even on the weekdays but the restaurant is my most favorite in DC and possibly, some days, in the country.
Central for lunch, if given a choice between that and Proof, in my book. Its busy...and definitely has a DC "hum" at prime meal time, but the acoustics aren't deafening and you can definitely ask for a table toward the back, away from the more central (pun really not intended) hubbub. Proof may be on the quieter side when comparing the two but I really enjoy the food at Central. Don't miss the tuna burger or gougeres.
re: Ponder99
You could also have breakfast at the Willard Hotel before the White House, perhaps. It is just steps away from the security line for White House tours. I haven't had their breakfast buffet, so I'm not speaking to the food quality, but it's probably not bad and the Willard is certainly worth a visit when touring DC, anyway.
Open City is good, not fancy, for breakfast, too, as mentioned above -- and will be very convenient to you, if you're staying in Woodley Park.
re: Ponder99
Proof is always quiet. Central is laid back and quiet at lunch. Great macarons, by the way. Six for $10.
re: Ponder99
Blue Duck's brunch is great, assume their breakfast would be worthwhile as well.
re: cranberry1
If you go to Open City, bring a salt shaker. No flavor whatsoever.
re: Ponder99
I would not go to Volt. I have only been once and will never return. We got the tasting menu and I only enjoyed 2 things. You can do so much better. Not even for a free meal. It was taken off the Washingtonian's top 100 for a reason.
If you're willing to drive all the way out to Volt, I would suggest you consider the Inn at Little Washington. In my opinion, it is hands down the best restaurant in the DC area. Everything about it is a work of art.
I don't make it to breakfasts very often, but the best brunch buffet I've had in the DC area is at Liberty Tavern in Arlington. I'm sure there are better out there, but it's an incredible value, the food is simple but they use great ingredients, their cooking is very consistent and they have a wide variety of options.
CityZen was a more memorable meal for me than Komi at a better location and with much better servers.

Lawmakers have agreed to take part in a special legislative session in mid-August to consider a package of incentives aimed at luring a three billion dollar coal gasification plant to Kentucky.
Peabody Energy is looking at locations for the plant in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.
Peabody Energy executive Rick Bowen said today in Louisville that if the legislature creates incentives to encourage development of alternative fuels during the special session, Kentucky could be chosen. He said Peabody is prepared to recommend that its equity group focus a project review exclusively in Kentucky.
Bowen was among a group of Peabody executives from St. Louis who met with Governor Fletcher and legislative leaders today.
The governor said Peabody executives promised to recommend Kentucky sites to their investors if lawmakers approve tax breaks worth some 300 million dollars.

Students participate in last year's Benching for Breast Cancer Fundraiser.
The sixth annual Benching for Breast Cancer Fundraiser will take place Friday, Dec. 6 at 5:30 p.m. in the Hart Center's Varsity Weight Room at the College of the Holy Cross. Registration begins at 5 p.m. on the day of the event, and online pre-registration is encouraged. The participation fee is $10 per person.
Working in teams of four, students solicit donation pledges based on how much weight they think they can lift. While wearing a costume, they compete against other teams lifting weights for prizes in three categories: best team costume, most enthusiastic team, most money raised, and most weight lifted for males and females.
Last year, approximately 545 students participated in the event and raised more than $2,500. Michelle McGahan '15, co-chair of HC for a Cure and organizer of the event, said this year their main goal is to raise awareness about breast cancer and focus the event on the students' reasons for participating. "We've invited survivors to the event," she said, "and are creating a wall titled, "Who do you bench for?"
"We hope that students write names, bring pictures to post, or bring anything they have that reminds them of why they participate in this event," McGahan explained.
McGahan is benching for her mother, who lost her battle with breast cancer 10 years ago. "She was an amazing woman with a contagious positive attitude," shared McGahan. "For almost my entire life, my family and I have participated in the Making Strides walk in Boston, and when I came to Holy Cross, I decided to get more involved in the cause. That's when I found HC for a Cure. When they asked me to help organize and run the event, I was more than happy to help."
McGahan and Andrew McAward '15, another student organizer and a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), say the goal is for all participants to reflect on their own experiences with breast cancer to spread awareness of the necessity to fight the battle.
"I have had relatives that have battled with cancer," says McAward. "Partaking in events, such as Benching for Breast Cancer and Relay for Life, have truly defined my time here at Holy Cross."
All proceeds from the event will benefit Pink Revolution, a Worcester-based breast cancer alliance of dedicated individuals with a unified commitment to those touched by breast cancer.
A varsity men's ice hockey game against Air Force Academy will follow the event at 7 p.m. in the Hart Center's ice rink.
Benching for Breast Cancer is sponsored by the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and HC for a Cure. SAAC is a group of student leaders made up of representatives from each varsity team on campus. They work with the NCAA and provide an athlete's perspective on the recruitment process, eligibility, and other regulations that affect athletes.

Head trainer and founder Giacomo Ribaudo earned his second-degree black belt at age 17 and began his competitive kickboxing career shortly thereafter. His training went on to include karate, kickboxing, boxing, judo, jiujitsu, and wrestling. He and the experienced staff incorporated elements of each of these fighting styles into their mixed-martial-arts program. Using floor pads and heavy bags shaped like the thimble that always beat you in Monopoly, Extreme MMA builds fitness and self-defense skills with kickboxing and the ground-combat form of jiujitsu.

SAI Heating & Cooling?s professional HVAC technicians tackle sullied ducts, filthy furnaces, and clogged air-conditioning systems with cleanings backed by full bonding and insurance as well as certification from the EPA. Apart from cutting the cost of heating or cooling a home, flushing airways of contaminants and stuck Santa Clauses reduces the spread of germs by drastically increasing the quality of air that homeowners breathe each day. The service frees interior airspace from allergens, dust, and sickness-inducing mold, and the skilled HVAC professionals at Sai specialize in cleaning out dirty dryer vents, which experts agree can cause up to 15,600 fires per year.

Use this as an opportunity to cheaply complete all those projects you've been saying you'll do yourself, but quite honestly you probably won't do. Like Elisa, who gave Handyman Matters a 5-star review on Yelp for their work on a variety of small projects. Said Elisa: "I had those handy dudes installing shelves and hooks, hanging blinds, rehanging a bedroom door to open out instead of in, repairing rotting iron porch railings, making under-stairs storage area doors, and yes...painting. The work was done correctly and quickly, and all three gentlemen were courteous, intelligent, and cleaned up after themselves." Or Kristin, who was enthralled with Handyman Joe's manny hands: "He fixed everything I had on my list (a bunch of electrical, which involved a bit of creative troubleshooting, picture-hanging, and HVAC advice). He taught me a ton in the process, and was a nice guy to talk to. Joe was in and out in less than 3 hours, despite having to run out in search of a breaker which needed to be replaced. This guy is an absolute pro."
During an annual tune-up and cleaning, Comfort Heating & Cooling's technicians chase away dust and gunk, unclogging AC airways so systems can breathe freely again. Cleared-out lungs will cool air more efficiently, which can lower energy bills and slow the melting process for Popsicles eaten indoors. Regular AC-unit maintenance also improves indoor air quality, helping to prevent flare-ups of allergies, asthma, and nightmares about weaponized dust particles.

798cc, 125bhp, 155mph, Insurance group
The Brutale 800 Dragster is a very specific type of bike for a very specific purpose. Don't expect it to go touring or suffer a daily commute. It's a proper Sunday show-off, at home honing about streets and back lanes, using its banging midrange and sorted throttle response to boss traffic with extravagant disdain. It's as good as its looks; ...
998cc, 195bhp, 185mph, Insurance group 17
With its new short-stroke engine, ride-by-wire throttle, frame and a host of clever electronic upgrades, this the F4's biggest overhaul since MV turned their flagship superbike back from a 1078cc, into a 1000 in 2010. Like a well set-up race bike it carves through corners with minimal effort, making it the best-handling F4 ever. It's also the first production bike ...
798cc, 125bhp, 148mph, Insurance group 16
MV has now positioned the Brutale 675 as the entry-level bike in the range with the bigger, four-cylinder 1090R and 1090RRs capping the range. The Brutale 800 now occupies a gap in the middle. This is not a bike for novices; the power-to-weight ratio makes for some seriously impressive performance. The engine is a dominant part of the package and ...
675cc, 108bhp, 140mph, Insurance group 16
MV Agusta used to be the dream, aspirational brand; the poster bike we proudly hung on our garage and shed wall; the Ferrari of the biking world – and just as expensive, impractical and out of reach. But with the all new MV Brutale 675 that could all be set to change. At £8299 it's not only cheaper, astonishingly, than ...
998cc, 201bhp, 186mph, Insurance group 17
It's the most powerful and refined F4 MV Agusta has ever produced. Making a claimed 201bhp at the crank, it just pips the ZX-10R's 200.1bhp crank figure to make the Italian beauty the most powerful 2011 road-going superbike. It has a new short-stroke engine (hence the Corsacorta tag) with an exhaust note to die for, traction control, Ohlins suspension, an ...
921cc, 130bhp, 158mph, Insurance group 17
The 920 is the new entry-level MV Agusta Brutale which, despite lashings of Italian flair and 130bhp performance, costs the same as a Yamaha FZ1 at £9999. It has a number of changes aimed at keeping the cost down over the bigger capacity 990R and 1090R bigger brother.
998cc, 186bhp, 186mph, Insurance group 17
MV's new-generation F4 is still an unashamed racing bike with lights, but the Italian firm have smoothed out all the old rough edges and created a thoroughly usable superbike for the road. It's 10kg lighter too. It's still not as soft or cuddly as a Japanese 1000, but it has considerably sharper teeth and is a thousand times more exclusive ...
982cc, 142bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 17
Don't think of the Brutale 989R as a watered-down version of its 1078RR bigger brother; it's a powerhouse of a bike in its own right. MV claim a massive 142bhp from the crank and a top speed of 165mph, which puts it right up there with the best in the super naked class. Compared to the Brutale 910, the 989R ...
998cc, 183bhp, 182mph, Insurance group 17
It's called the '312' because MV claims it'll do 312km/h, which equates to about 193mph. When we put it to the test it only managed 182 along a two-mile runway, albeit in a headwind. Costing fifteen grand it needs to be head and shoulders better than the GSX-R1000s and R1s of the world, and it isn't.
749cc, 126bhp, 175.3mph, Insurance group 17
The MV Agusta F4 750 was the most eagerly awaited slice of Italian superbike exotica pretty much delivered on all counts. Simply stunning Massimo Tamburini styling was the most beautiful since the same designer's Ducati 916 of 1994 (and is generally considered to still be the most beautiful bike in production). Spec, build quality and handling was there to match. ...

"I know that your love will last for all time, that your faithfulness is as permanent as the sky" (Psalm 89:2 TEV).
"Isn't it good news to know that God never gives up on you? No matter what you do, his love never gives up."
Human love wears out; that's why we have so many divorces. I know a lot of people who are not divorced but they don't love each other anymore. There's a limit to human love; it dries up.
That's why you have to have God's love in your marriage—in all your relationships—if they are going to last. God's love never wears out. God's love is patient, persistent, and persevering.
Isn't it good news to know that God never gives up on you? No matter what you do, his love never gives up. It's wide enough to include everybody and it's long enough to last forever.
God will never love you any more than he does right now. But he also will never love you any less than he does right now.
He loves you on your good days; he loves you on your bad days. His love is not conditioned by your response. God is love and his love is given freely. It cannot be earned and it is not undeserved.
Accept his love and worship him, knowing that his love is long enough to last for all time: "And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully" (Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT).
Would you like to become all God intended you to be? God is in the business of changing lives and He wants to transform you into the person He created you to be-with more love, more faith, and an eternal purpose. Thousands of people have personally shared how their lives have been transformed by Pastor Rick Warren's powerful teaching so we put together a six CD collection of his most requested sermons. These are sermons you'll want to listen to more than once and to share with your friends and family members.
In this broadcast, Pastor Rick walks through the steps you can take when you're going through difficult times. God is using your dark and stressful times for good. He'll use them to teach you to trust him, to show you how to help others, and to draw you closer to other believers. To give in to your fears is a choice.
