naval tradition means nothing to me as this is set 400 years in the future. ive never been a fan of people using the navy as an example of how starfleet should structure its ranks.
its true they did use commodore and while its possible just because no ones said during tng/ds9 does not automatically mean its been discontinued, its is largely accepted to have been phased out, especially considering its never been used in this game, and the current setting should probably be the deciding factor.
i would not use it.
my suggestion would be Fleet Captain as it sounds better to me and does not need any explanation. its is an equivalent rank to commodore and i also believe its is used in a temporary capacity rather than an official promotion. basically it does the job and sounds logical for the situation.

When a murder mystery next door forces agoraphobic heiress Abigail Clayton (Selma Blair - Hellboy, "Kath and Kim") to face her terrifying new neighbors, the safe and solitary world she created for herself violently unravels.
In order to escape the hounding public and press, Abigail, the famous daughter of a wealthy industrialist, secluded herself in her Manhattan loft on the day she received her enormous inheritance - her eighteenth birthday. Sequestered at the top of the Columbus Circle luxury apartment high-rise, Abigail remained seemingly secure for nearly 20 years until the day her elderly neighbor was suddenly slain. Abigail's world is now disrupted by strange new neighbors and a police investigation that brings the inquisitive and intrusive NYPD Homicide Detective Frank Giardello (Giovanni Ribisi - Contraband, Saving Private Ryan) to her door. Peering anxiously through her peephole each day, Abigail soon learns that the dangerous new tenants, Lillian Hart (Amy Smart - The Butterfly Effect, Varsity Blues) and Charles Stratford (Jason Lee "My Name is Earl"), may threaten more than just her privacy.

In his mid-30s, Abe (Jordan Gelber) clings to the trappings of his adolescence, still living with his parents Jackie (Christopher Walken) and Phyllis (Mia Farrow). When Abe meets Miranda (Selma Blair), whose personal and professional disasters have sent her scrambling back to the safety of her parents' suburban home, he sees what he thinks is a chance at true love. As the couple haltingly prepares to start a new life together, the film swerves into Abe's subconscious, where his crippling self-doubt and dark fears begin to undermine his nearly realized dream of a fuller life. Tempering his trademark lacerating humor with unexpected tenderness, Solondz creates a poignant and provocative portrait of a besieged man-child and his fractured family - the story of a longtime dark horse struggling to come from behind.

these are the slickest little pastry bags for doing small batches of icing...they are cheap, but work great if all you're doing is a limited amount of fillings.
Phil R. from Oak Hill Bulk Foods, Inc. Posted on 10/20/2014
I like these better than disposable bags, because it feels at lot less wasteful. They last a decent amount of times, so it feels worth it to me. They work! Yay!
David E. Posted on 05/20/2014
these bags are wonderful after using 2-3 times the bag was only broken and much easier to use no more wasteful disposal bags for me will invest in more

Is four years too long to earn a doctor of optometry degree? For some people it might be, and that's one reason why the Salus University Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) is trying a new program that compresses the same education into a three-year program.
The percentage of women entering North American schools and colleges of optometry is at the highest level seen in the nine years that Women In Optometry has been tracking the data. After three years of staying steady at 66 percent, the composition of women entering optometry school as the class of 2018 has jumped to 69 percent this fall.

Still trying to determine the adequate number of pregame pitches to throw, Rob Kaminsky wasn't exactly ready to start Sunday's game. But his arm "felt great," so he left the bullpen and eventually took the mound at Dozer Park. Twenty-two pitches later, he returned to the Peoria dugout, not very happy with himself.
"I wouldn't say things were tight, but not as loose as it normally is," the Cardinals' No. 3 prospect said. "The first [inning] was rough, but after that I started getting my legs underneath me."
After allowing a hit and a walk in that opening frame, Kaminsky improved with each inning and eventually helped the Chiefs blank visiting Great Lakes, 4-0.
"I settled down after the first," he said. "My velocity went up [and] I felt good for every other inning."
The 19-year-old left-hander scattered four hits and a walk over his final five innings, totaling four strikeouts. The Loons had two baserunners in each of the first three frames, but Kaminsky continually pitched out of trouble.
"That's when you got to have your best stuff, when guys are on first and second. You have to have a second gear," the 2013 first-round pick said. "It's a lot easier when you trust your defense; and I do."
Kaminsky (5-2) admitted he didn't have his best stuff in his 13th start of the season, but he was able to register his third scoreless outing. He attributed his success to his batterymate, Cardinals 13th-ranked prospect Carson Kelly, who he said called one of the best games he's ever thrown.
With the win, Kaminsky improved to 5-0 with a 1.05 ERA in seven home starts.
"I never knew my stats, but I love pitching at home and I don't mind pitching away," the New Jersey native said. "I'm definitely used to pitching at Peoria and I like my routine."
Overall, Kaminsky leads Chiefs starters with a 1.50 ERA. Sunday's outing followed his roughest start of the year -- he lasted 3 2/3 innings at South Bend on July 20 and gave up two runs on three hits and three walks. The young southpaw spent the past week working on fastball command as well as he mental aspects of pitching.
"My last outing, I definitely wasn't happy with it. I did a lot of work with the pitching coach, Jason Simontacchi, and it feels good to get the 'W,'" Kaminsky said. "I would say it helped [to bounce back], but it's a 24-hour rule. No matter if you have a good start or have a bad start, you have to wipe it away. It's yesterday's news."
Since Kaminsky's last start, the Chiefs have added Rowan Wick to the lineup. The Cards' No. 19 prospect has four RBIs in five games since being promoted from Short-Season State College, where he needed only 19 contests to break the team's single-season home run record. On Sunday, the 21-year-old outfielder legged out a triple and scored a run.
"It's great to have in him in the clubhouse, too. He's an awesome kid," Kaminsky said. "He had another great hit tonight and there's definitely more to come from him."
Robert Stock relieved Kaminsky and allowed one hit over two innings before Josh Lucas pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to nail down the Chiefs' Midwest League-leading 11th shutout.

Tinie Tempah: He's going to be huge
Rap superstars are known for giant egos and turbocharged spending habits. But Britain's latest urban sensation plays to a different tune
Saturday 19 February 2011
Everyone loves Tinie Tempah, it seems. When America invented rap music, it gave us a genre that has become epitomised by the tattooed machismo and gangster pasts of Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent, the egos of Kanye West and Diddy and the menace of Eminem.
But Britain has found its new rap champion in the form of a slight and bespectacled tea drinker who thinks the best way to get on is to be nice to people.
And when his name was read out as the winner of two Brit awards this week, the cheers filled every corner of the cavernous O2 arena. His friends hoisted him into the air, where he resembled Joe 90 dressed for dinner, only Tempah is black and his tuxedo was white (setting himself apart from the crowd, as he always does).
His triumph at the music industry's biggest annual jamboree included the trophy for best British Breakthrough Act, which seems a reasonable description considering he signed to his record label only in October 2009. But though he is just 22, Tinie Tempah's career stretches back nine years and has followed a path that he has carefully mapped out himself.
He thought up his stage name when he was 13 and a pupil at St Paul's school in London (not the one attended by George Osborne but its much tougher Catholic namesake in South-east London). Picking up a Thesaurus, he came to the reference for "anger" and became transfixed by the word "temper". "I thought, 'This is a little bit aggressive'," he later told this newspaper. "I didn't want to scare anyone off. So I added Tinie. By playtime, Tinie Tempah was born."
A year earlier, he had determined his role in life when watching a video for "21 Seconds" by the south London rap group So Solid Crew. That moment, he has said, "changed my whole life", as he realised that urban music did not have to come from the other side of the Atlantic.
But whereas So Solid Crew seemed unable to escape headlines that linked them to guns and rioting fans, Tempah has attracted nothing but positive press coverage. How does he do it? Well, inviting reporters to afternoon tea at Claridge's must be the least intimidating media strategy in rap music history. But there is far more to Tempah than spotting a photo-opportunity.
He built his early reputation through the sheer strength of his personal charisma. Other better-known rappers on the London grime scene were happy to have him around backstage at their video shoots, and willing to say nice things about him as he filmed them on his handheld camera. He put those clips on his blog, which he called Milkand2Sugars – because his love of tea is not a stunt – and he soon had 9,000 unique users coming to him every day.
That authenticity is central to Tempah's appeal. "It's always best to be the person you are when you wake up in the morning until the time you go to bed," he recently told The Sun. "No matter who you are around, you've got to be consistent."
Scratcha, his former tour DJ and a presenter on the urban music station Rinse FM, backs him up on this. "He out of all the MCs is the most humble person," he says. "He's exactly the same – same number, same email. He hasn't hidden so you can't get hold of him. He's really down to earth. In interviews now he's not like some guy off the road who is trying to act like a good boy – he has genuinely always been that way.
"I saw his rise through the under-18 clubs and the crowds getting bigger and bigger. He would come off the stage and stay behind for hours signing autographs for every kid and having pictures. He would be there three hours after the show, talking to the children. It was mad."
In a world where tough guys have traditionally prevailed, Tempah managed to become accepted by his grime peers. "Because he's such a cool guy, no one can hate him," says Scratcha. "That's just how it is."
Tempah, who is of Nigerian parentage and was born Patrick Okogwu, grew up in a top-floor flat on the rough Aylesbury estate in Peckham, south-east London. His father is a social worker and his mother a human resources officer. When Tempah was 12, they decided that the family should move to a semi-detached home in the comparatively quieter London neighbourhood of Plumstead. He picked up his parents' work ethic and acquired A-levels in media studies, religious studies and psychology.
Though the media classes seem to have been helpful, he was determined to be a musician. Friends describe him as "hugely ambitious" and "focused ambitious". His first musical success came with "Wifey", a track which he accompanied with a video funded through part-time work in double-glazing telesales. A debut mixtape album, Hood Economics, gave him a reputation on the grime scene.
Dumi Oburota, his cousin and long-standing manager, says that he has succeeded because he is genuinely interested in people. "Tinie is like a sponge who absorbs information," he says. "He's really good at hearing other people's opinions and learning how he can make himself a better person and a better artist."
In an interview with the London Evening Standard last year, the artist spoke of the importance of mixing with people of different backgrounds during his teenage years in Plumstead. "There were a lot more white people, a lot more Chinese, a lot more Asians. I think that's what helped me to be as cultured as I am now."
Similarly in his music, Tempah introduces a plethora of genres which gives him a wide fanbase. Shortee Blitz, a hip-hop DJ for the Kiss network, says he has a "global" appeal. "On my travels, I play Tinie Tempah songs at 95 per cent of my club gigs." EMI took notice and beat five other record companies to Tempah's signature when he took the Wireless Festival by storm.
His publicist at Parlophone, Janet Choudry, says he makes her job easy. "He was [already] very media-savvy. He had been doing some press and had established relationships with Kiss and BBC 1Xtra. Everyone in that scene knew who he was," she says. "It was very evident when we met him that he could make it happen.
"He had a manifesto – if you believe in yourself and work hard enough you can succeed and get what you want."
His debut single, "Pass Out", made with producer Labyrinth, went to No 1 (and won him his second Brit award this week). His debut album Disc-Overy is another chart-topper. He has collaborated with pop stars as diverse as Kelly Rowland and Ellie Goulding, appeared on stage at Glastonbury with Snoop Dogg (who thinks he is "dope" – ie he approves). Jay-Z and P Diddy are fans, as are Kylie Minogue and Prince William. "He has it all right now," says Trevor Nelson, presenter for BBC Radio 1Xtra. "Guys look at him and think he's cool. Of course the girls look at him. He's the kind of guy most mums want their daughter to bring home, which is rare for a rapper." Scratcha says that was always Tempah's intention.
At the Brits, Alan Carr joked from the stage that the artist's success was going to look like "an advert for Specsavers". But Tempah is no geek. After the show, the nattily attired rapper offered his distinctive Ray-Bans to his fans. Brands are lining up to do deals with him and he plans to turn his Disturbing London clothing range into an international fashion marque. Who would bet against him? For Tinie Tempah, the kettle is just coming to the boil.
A life in brief
Born: Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu Jnr, 7 November 1988, London.
Family: His parents, Patrick and Rosemary, came to the UK from Nigeria in their twenties. His father set up a barber's shop but retrained as a social worker. His mother works for the NHS.
Education: Attended St Patrick's Catholic Primary School in Plumstead, south-east London, and St Paul's Roman Catholic Secondary School in nearby Abbey Wood. Went on to study A-levels at St Francis Xavier Sixth Form College, Clapham.
Career: Has been a rapper on the underground urban music scene since 2006. Signed to Parlophone in October 2009. His debut single, "Pass Out", went straight to No 1 in February 2010. His album, Disc-Overy, has gone platinum and spawned three more singles. He won two Brit awards this week for Best Single and Best Breakthrough Act.
He says: "I get annoyed by people's, almost, awe when they find out you aren't what they were expecting you to be like, when they say: 'Oh, you dress really well, you can speak well.' It gets on my nerves. Being a rapper is a career choice for me. I exist apart from that as a human being. I can be into foreign cinema. I can like to dress up as well."

Handwrytten App Has a Robot that Hand Writes What You Type
I love doing hand wrote cards & notes, but I'm going to tell you something. My handwriting is the absolute worst, and I feel pretty bad when people have to try & make it out what it says.

In comes Handwrytten, an app that actually has a robot that handwrites letters & cards for you. Cards start at as little as $5.00, and they'll send them directly to the recipient for you. Watch the videos, then check out their website here.

The Hemingwrite is the modern typewriter you never knew you needed
Typewriter enthusiasts rejoice! The Hemingwrite is the 21st-century version of the typewriter. The goal is to provide users with a distraction-free experience that foucses on writing. It's also much more portable than that heavy-ass typewriter you bought at a garage sale two years ago with intention of writing your first novel. The Hemingwrite does have some technological benefits as well. Everything you write is saved to the cloud. Well, I guess that's the only real technological benefit. But still, this thing is pretty cool.

REAL cute sales website (yeah, right).
Oh to be "aevoean". Nice that they put the time and effort to create this sort of nonsense, but neglect to put important info ('About Us', company history, etc.) at a potential buyer's fingertips.
30 bucks for a couple of small sheets of protective plastic film. Doesn't matter how good it performs, it's still overpriced for what it is. Join that up with a dorky sales website who's design is apparently inspired somewhere on the other side of the SciFi Channel or within earshot of Roswell, NM…
Me givum pass.
Posted by flatline response on May 30, 2006 at 1:44 PM (CDT)
This actually looks like it may be a pretty good protective thing for the ipod. eh, a little too pricey, but might give it a try. anyone recommend it?
Posted by Chris on May 30, 2006 at 4:17 PM (CDT)
Use the InvisableShield instead. http://www.shieldzone.com Cheaper by 5 clams and I have been using one on my 30 Gig for over six months and it's showing zero wear and tear. No I don't work for the company and yes I think shelling out 25 buck to protect my 300 dollar iPod is worth every penny.
Posted by bradford on May 30, 2006 at 6:49 PM (CDT)
I use a clear protective shield for my 30 gig ipod and I bought mine for only $8. At first I thought it was expensive but, compared to something that costs $30 it actually isn't that bad now. It even comes with a film to protect the back too. It also hid all previous scratches that were already on my ipod prior to installing it and it doesn't ruin the appearance of the screen. You can't beat that for $8. I just wish I had one before I scratched up the bottom pretty good. Do a little research before you buy overpriced stuff for your already overpriced ipod. You may regret the money you waste…

..maybe you would be kind enough to provide a link to your solution ?
Posted by Dzign on May 31, 2006 at 10:04 AM (CDT)
I have tried one of these on my iPod nano, the silver iGlaze, and it is absolutely beautiful, I have to say. I have used the invisibleshield also, but its a completely different product. The invisibleshield is a really great protective film that allows you to basically not change at all the way your iPod looks, but the iGlaze…its just very different. For one, its hard plastic, not a thin film, and it fit on my nano perfectly and really changed its look…no air bubbles or peeling or anything simply because of its hard plastic nature. I had several friends convinced I had a special edition silver nano, which I guess shows two things, 1) I have gullible friends and 2) the iGlaze really did look great.

About the Book
The author of the acclaimed City Poet returns with a searing memoir of life in 1980s New York City—a colorful and atmospheric tale of wild bohemians, glamorous celebrity, and complicated passions—with cameo appearances by Madonna, Robert Mapplethorpe, William Burroughs, and a host of others legendary artists.
Brad Gooch arrived in New York in the late 1970s, yearning for artistic and personal freedom. Smash Cut is his bold and intimate memoir of this exhilarating time and place. At its center is his love affair with film director Howard Brookner, pieced together from fragments of memory and fueled by a panoply of emotions, from blazing ecstasy to bleakest despair.
Gooch and Brookner's intense relationship is haunted by the specter of addiction—heroin (Brookner) and promiscuous sex (Gooch)—and the lure of temptation. As both men try to reconcile love and fidelity with the irresistible desire to enjoy the carnal abandon of the age, they live together and apart. Gooch works briefly as a model in Milan, then returns to the city and discovers his vocation as an artist.
Brookner falls ill with a mysterious virus that soon has a terrifying name: AIDS. And the story, and life in the city, is suddenly overshadowed by this new demon plague that will ravage a generation and transform the creative world. Gooch charts the progress of Brookner through his illness, and writes unforgettably about endings: of a great talent, a passionate love affair, and an incandescent era.
Beautifully written, full of rich detail and poignant reflection, recalling a time and a place and group of friends with affection and clarity, Smash Cut is an extraordinary memoir and an exquisite account of an epoch.
Illustrated with 30 black-and-white photographs.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"So glamorous, so sexy, and so devastating, this love story will be the gay picture of the 70s/80s. That it took place between two beautiful, talented young men only makes it the more romantic and poignant." —Edmund White, author of CITY BOY
"The fact that a writer of Brad Gooch's significance has been witness to remarkable events and people, and has written about them, is a genuine gift to the world. Smash Cut is a beautiful and important book." —Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize winning author
"Brad Gooch's story is harrowingly honest written with love and in grief, a deftly articulated insightful history that is at once personal and deeply resonant. Brave and powerful--I couldn't put it down." —A.M. Homes, author of May We Be Forgiven
"Far more than a memoir, Smash Cut is a bold and tender anatomy of love in an age of ambition, art, and changing light." —Brenda Wineapple
"Smash Cut is a love story, an elegy, an intimate history written with enormous grace by a novelist and poet, who is also a master biographer. " —Honor Moore, author of The Bishop's Daughter

Hellboy: The Science of Evil Review PS3
Even if you're a massive Hellboy fan we simply can't recommend you pick up The Science of Evil.
Soul Calibur IV Review PS3
It's gorgeous, and an essential purchase for any fighting game fan who likes aggressive counters and weapon clashes, but it's no fighting game revolution.
NASCAR 09 Review PS3
With its slow frame rate it's nowhere near as polished as the Xbox 360 game, making this yet another port that hasn't been given enough care and attention.
The Incredible Hulk Review PS3
The Incredible Hulk isn't terrible, but it falls into the same mediocre category as Iron Man. You'll get moments of fun simply from being Hulk, but this isn't enough to carry the whole game.
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Review PS3
Beijing 2008 isn't doing anything all that new, but it's undeniably addictive. If you've got an urge to twiddle an analogue stick faster than any human knew was possible you can do a lot worse.
Ferrari Challenge Review PS3
Ferrari Challenge is a solid racer backed up by strong presentation and some decent online multiplayer. If you've already picked out the interior of your dream Ferrari then it's time to buckle up, oth
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Review PS3
For die-hard GH and Aerosmith fans it's a no-brainer, but everyone else might want to save their money for World Tour.

best veggie burger? astro?
- a
- AdamFoodie Mar 8, 2007 09:01 PM
does astro have the best veggie burger in LA? hows fat burger's veggie burger?
dunno about those two, but i like the veggie burger that is served at the counter in santa monica. their burger is not an 'imitation meat' burger, rather it is a patty of beans and vegetables that forms an excellent platform for the addtions they offer-in particular the great blue cheese.
re: westsidegal
I think you either love the Counter's veggie burger or hate it....it tastes really, really odd to me.
re: running pig
probably tastes odd to you because it is not meat-like. it is not imitation meat, rather is is a vegetable patty.
re: westsidegal
So you've said. Twice :)
Mr Taster
Protect Chowhound
Boycott Avatars!
re: westsidegal
as a lifelong vegetarian i have had many burgers all over town.don't like the gardenburgers/boca at restaurants. my #1 favorite is at lucky devil.it is so good!
I had this sandwich, that kind of looked like a burger, at Porto's in Glendale today that was called the Glendale Veggie. Okay, it's not a veggie burger, by any means, but it was really good, and when I read your post, I had to tell you. I had resolved never to go to Porto's again after the last time I went (it was too crowded and crazy), but I was really happy with the Glendale Veggie sandwich today. It looks like an oversized burger, but it has thin layers of grilled vegetables, a little bit of hummus, lettuce, tomato and cheese, and homemade round bread. You can order it from the less crowded side of the restaurant, near the coffee and juice bar.
re: Suebee
I second the Big Macro at M Chaya (tho' I would recommend it without the soy cheese, which is totally unnecessary and not very good because it's, uh, soy cheese). It's got a fantastic texture --perhaps because it's made with brown rice and actual veggies instead of some super processed soy protein? I don't even like veggie burgers, except for this one, which I love.
depends what kind you're looking for...
newsroom cafe had a good one last time i was there.
i may get flogged for saying this, but johnny rockets does a pretty decent veggie burger (the streamliner) and best w/ tillamook. completely unlike newsroom, this is a patty, not a burger of discernable healthful ingredients.
re: kazhound
I don't eat veggie burgers that often, so thanks for the info... In fact, I never eat a "burger" per se because I hate sandwiches, but it's nice to know what I'm eating in my deconstruction :-)
re: OCGirl
It seems as if Houston's is another veggie burger you either love or hate, probably because it is unusual. It seems to have beets in it, making it red. It is also difficult to eat with one's hands. I happen to really love this burger; my GF just doesn't.
Too many places use food service packs of frozen Gardenburgers or Boca Burgers. While sometimes the toppings can make these burgers worth eating while eating out, for the most part - what's the point??? I can eat those at home.
re: katkoupai
Mmm I like that processed pretend meat taste. :)
re: OCGirl
i just have to second the houston's recommendation. the veggie burger is great! it definitely has beets and maybe some oats. it's a fork-and-knife kind of burger, but i love it.
re: OCGirl
Agree w/OCGirl re: Houston's. It is made with beets, brown rice and black beans and has a delicious grill taste. Love it.
LA Food Show in Manhattan Beach (and opening soon in BH) has a good house-made veggie burger as well...it also comes on a whole wheat bun.
re: highendhats
another vote for houston's.
oats, black beans, brown rice, molasses...great recipe. a hands-down favorite that i'd gladly eat every day. [no cheese on mine, thanks...but i'll take a side of hickory bbq sauce.]
arifa was right, though...it's definitely a fork-and-knife deal. the bun is superfluous.
real food daily has a really good veggie burger. its red-colored (red peppers?) and tempeh-based and has a strong mushroom taste.
re: PaulF
FYI, I believe this is the following Morningstar veggie burger:
I get these at Whole Foods.
re: jhulla
You might be right and I don't know for sure ... but I always thought the whole thing seemed so homemade ... sort of misshapen and all. The premade ones look more perfect and uniform.
But ... I'm not sure ...
I prefer when a place offers black bean patties, but I'll settle for the vegetable type. The last thing I want when I order a veggie burger is a boca patty. Oddly enough, I had a pretty good black bean burger at Barney's Beanery. That might be because I was recovering the morning after a night of drinking. (Just noticed the person above feeling similarly).
I like the veggie burger at Colony Cafe on Pico. I think it's a sort of bean, cheese mixture and is a bit spicy/southwestern. I don't care for the veggie burger at Houstons, if that gives you any reference for the taste on this.
re: Emme
I like two of Native Foods's burgers:
1) Bali Surf Burger. I like mine blackened, with caramelized onions and native "cheese" (a soft, cashew based cheese substitute, which is good but not really very cheesey), sub fries for slaw. That ends up a little expensive with all the add-ons, but sooo good. I'm kind of sick of it now, but it used to be my favorite. You can also get this with chili on top I think. The burger itself is a (homemade) tempeh patty.
2) Jerk Burger - a big seitan patty w/ a jerk sauce type marinade. I really like this one too.
I've heard good things about their portabella / sausage burger too.
Over all, for veggie burgers in LA, I think Native is a good bet, as long as you don't mind the lack of (real) cheese.
I'm personally not a fan of the newer, vegetable based one which is kind of mushy and tastes too much of bbq sauce or something for my taste.
Orean Health Express - I don't like their veg burgers much but the fake "chicken" burger is pretty tasty.
Great thread. Lots of good recommendations.
Three veggie burgers that I eat regularly and like:
1. Babalu (9th & Montana in Santa Monica): The veggie burger appears to be made inhouse and contains whole chickpeas. It doesn't always hold together, leading to a sloppy eating experience. But it is very tasty. I think it is only served during lunch.
2. The Counter (on Ocean Park in Santa Monica): Unclear what the substrate is. But tasty enough when topped with all the options available.
3. Swingers (on Broadway in Santa Monica): Anyone know what this is? Is it a Bocaburger or some other mass-product? I eat this because Swingers is open til 3am. Pretty good when loaded down with Tapatio.
re: jhulla
The Swingers veggie burger is good...I think it's housemade.
In Pasadena, on Lake, there's a very health-food-ish take out place that I can't remember the name of (help here?) I picked up a burger for a friend there, whose patty was mostly made of brown rice and lentils, I believe. Being pretty skeptical about anything replacing meat, but still curious, I had a bite. It was actually quite good. Quite delicious if you were expecting not to have meat, but still not a meat replacement.
re: SoCalMuncher
Wild Oats Market?
re: katkoupai
No, it was on Lake, north of Colorado; a tiny, mostly drive-thru or eat outdoors place.
re: SoCalMuncher
I think you mean Orean's Health Express (which I mentioned above) - drive
through fast food place on Lake, across from Roscoe's, and near like 5 other
fast food places. There's one other "health food" take out place on Lake, but
it's way up on Altadena and I don't think they have burgers. Not too bad. I
think their regular rice etc. veggie burger is a little on the mushy side - I
like it Ok for myself, but wouldn't recommend it to a non-vegetarian one.
Vegan visitors to Orean's - be warned that while the owner is very nice and will
claim that everything is vegan (and that the pancake mix having casein is the
lone exception), there's a pretty long history of them lying about stuff like
this. So I wouldn't guarantee that the chicken burgers, soy cheese, etc. are
totally vegan.
For packaged veggie burgers from the store, I really like the Amy's "California"
burger (the "All American" one isn't too bad either). The first is a good
balance between not too mushy and not too "fake meaty", and neither are entirely
soy protein.
Astro Burger's wasn't too bad. FWIW, they emailed me and claim that their buns
are vegan. However no veganaise (I think they used to carry it), and I'm pretty
sure they grill the veg burgers with all the meat.
I had one at Brite Spot, and it was the only not totally horrible thing I've
gotten from there.
M Chaya and Native Foods do yummy burgers. and i've always loved the ones at Astro's for some reason. although they are total Boca Burgers pretty much
re: SoCalMuncher
I think it depends on the person. Folks who became veg b/c they don't like meat don't tend to like the fake meat stuff as much. People who just want a healthier or less fattening burger, or who are vegetarian for ethical reasons but miss the meat probably tend to like the meaty ones more.
I mostly just look for something tasty. However, a lot of the veggie burgers that don't try to be meat-like are a little too mushy for my taste. But sometimes, a nice brown rice type patty can be just the thing I'm craving.
I almost forgot, Hugo's has a black bean quinoa burger that's really delicious. I'm a serious carnivore, but I always crave this veggie burger.
there is a health food store/restaurant on Slauson between Crenshaw and La Brea. they make THE BEST veggie burger in Los Angeles. it wipes M Cafe, Astor and Nativ off the table. you get the deluxe with avocado and BBQ sauce. it's heaven. i used to have it 4xs a week when i lived there. damn. i'm going there today just because you reminded me of it...
re: at4
Maybe this one?
re: will47
I think you're referring to:
Simply Wholesome
4508 West Slauson Avenue
re: yummyinmytummy
I second that! The Lucky Devil's burger won't win any votes for price ($14 or $15 even at lunch), but it's the BEST veggie burger in this town! Don't forget the toasted brioche bun... and the fact that they make them fresh each morning!
re: sweetnsalty
I'm a big fan of the Oinkster's veggie burger. I'm not vegan so I order
gruyere cheese on it and wash it down with an Oinksterade. Yum.
Fat Burger has the Boca soy patty and Astro Burger has both the original Gardenburger and Gardenburger flame grilled soy patty. I prefer the flame-grilled Gardenburger and Boca soy burger to the original Gardenburger because you're getting the taste of the burger without the meat. Some people would rather not have the taste of meat and prefer the original Gardenburger. In my opinion the flame grilled Gardenburger has the edge over the Boca, but both are good. Another good place in LA that gives you the choice of the original or flame-grilled Gardenburger is Carney's on Ventura in Studio City and on Sunset in W. Hollywood.
re: skinnydave
Has anyone tried the vegetable burger at Barney's Gourmet Burgers?
I don't see any mention of my absolute favorite Big Macro whole grain brown rice & veggie burger served on wholewheat bun with lettuce, tofu, sauce and I can never resist the sweet potatoes fries at Chaya M at 7119 Melrose in Hollywood. It doesn't taste like an imitation meat burger - but even non-veg people like it.
Aroma Cafe in Studio City has a really tasty veggie burger, made there. They serve it with grilled onions on a really good brioche roll.

EOB Weekend Box Office Podcast 11/24/2014: "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I" Lower Than Expected
2:09 PM 11/26/2014 by Senh Duong
Binh and I were expecting "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I" to open as well as, if not slightly better than, the previous two films, both of which debuted in the $150M range. It did $122M, way below our predictions (or even the most conservative figures from the industry). We discuss why that happened. "Dumb and Dumber To" tumbled in its second week, continuing Jim Carrey's recent slide at the box office. We debated over which of the three indies -- "Birdman," "Foxcatcher," and "The Theory of Everything" -- will eventually break out.
EOB Weekend Box Office Podcast 11-17-2014: "Dumber and Dumber To" Tops "Big Hero 6" and "Interstellar"
6:30 PM 11/19/2014 by Senh Duong
Binh and I have been doing these weekly podcast for several weeks now. We talk, discuss, and debate the weekly box office. This week, it's "Dumb and Dumber To" vs. the two holdovers from last week, "Big Hero 6" and "Interstellar." Both of us way underestimated how well the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels sequel would do. We debated about whether or not "Gone Girl" would eventually reach $200M at the domestic box office (it's currently at $153M), "John Wick" would get a sequel, "Nightcrawler" is a success, and much more.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past:" Best-Ever "X-Men" Scores Best-Ever Box Office
9:39 AM 5/23/2014 by Senh Duong
A couple of days ago, Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past," the sequel to "X-Men: First Class" that unites popular cast members from the entire franchise, scored a near perfect 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. I was thinking it can't possibly stay that high by the time it opens today; my prediction was mid to high 80s.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" Scores 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, But Will It Hold?
9:44 PM 5/21/2014 by Senh Duong
When Bryan Singer's "X-Men" was released in 2000 and was both commercially successful and critically acclaimed, it launched a franchise that also spawned two spin-offs. The first of which was "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," focusing on the series' most popular character. The second was "X-Men: First Class," which goes back to a time when the mutants were younger and figuring things out.
In the Summer of 1998, "Godzilla" Fought Michael Bay's "Armageddon" and Lost; Will It Fare Better This Summer Against Dinobots
3:56 PM 5/16/2014 by Senh Duong
In the summer of 1998, two expensive blockbusters battled for box office supremacy. In the green corner, with a budget of $130M, is Roland Emmerich's "Godzilla," Hollywood's first big-screen adaptation of Japan's iconic monster starring Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno, and CGI. In the blue corner, with a budget of $140M, is Michael Bay's "Armageddon," an end-of-world asteroid movie starring Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, and more CGI.
China Box Office: Zhang Yimou's "Coming Home" Starring Gong Li Debuts with Solid $5M on Friday
10:07 AM 5/16/2014 by Senh Duong
"Coming Home," the long-awaited reteaming of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, opened on Friday (it's already Saturday in China) atop the box office with a solid $4.8M. The drama, set during the tumultuous years of the Cultural Revolution, pushes Marc Webb's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" down to second place. The webslinger rolled up $3.2M for the day, upping its total to an amazing $69M after two weeks in release.
Radioactive: "Godzilla" Scores 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, I Disagree
1:56 PM 5/13/2014 by Senh Duong
I went to a screening of the newly rebooted "Godzilla" in 3D in Regal's RPX theater yesterday. I saw Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" in the same souped-up setting and really enjoyed the technical enhancements. Ditto for Gareth Edward's $160M remake. The 3D image is bright and clear.
Seth Rogen's on a Roll: "Neighbors" Scores Fresh 74% on Rotten Tomatoes
2:57 PM 5/9/2014 by Senh Duong
Following the critical and commercial success of "This is the End," Seth Rogen returns with another raunchy comedy "Neighbors." This time, instead of fighting zombies, his character battles a bunch of frat boys -- played by Zac Efron and Dave Franco among others -- who turns the house next to his into a frat house. That wouldn't be too bad if Rogen's character and his wife, played by "Bridesmaids'" Rose Byrne, didn't have a newborn to take care of.
Nu Image Eyes Ben Stiller and Jack Nicholson for Remake of Hong Kong Comedy "Delete My Love"
3:05 PM 5/8/2014 by Senh Duong
While I was in Hong Kong during the Hong Kong International Film Festival, I saw posters for Patrick Kong's comedy "Delete My Love" (Wong Cho-Lam, Michael Hui) all over the city. Apparently, the comedy was being shopped to foreign distributions at the Filmart, and Nu Image had expressed interest.
China Box Office: "My Old Classmate" $35M, "The Great Hypnotist" $22M, "The Iceman 3D" $11M, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" $10M
10:51 AM 5/7/2014 by Senh Duong
Business for local films exploded during China's Labour Day holiday, which started last Thursday (May 1st) and ended on Saturday (May 3rd). Sunday was reserved for the debut of Marc Webb's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." For the entire week of April 28th to May 4th, YA romance "My Old Classmate" soured to $34.6M, upping its total to a staggering $52.3M after just ten days.

Our students' health and safety are the top priorities of New Caney ISD. When issues of concern are brought to our attention we want to share that information with our community.
We have been made aware that an employee of our District traveled on the Carnival Cruise ship Magic last week.

Based on this information from Galveston County Health Officials and the Department of State Health Services, the employee of our District poses no risk to students or staff members of New Caney ISD and she has been allowed to return to work. We will continue to keep you updated on all information that becomes available.

I mean specific settings, not the settings button. I know where the settings is at.
Because it interferes in the work place, and personally...it is annoying as hell. I keep UAC enabled for my family that do not do alot of messing around with their systems. I like to keep mine disabled and not get prompted to choose YES or OK for every little damn thing I do.
Posted 11 March 2013 - 12:51
Using Windows 8 daily, I see maybe 1 UAC prompt every few days. What exactly do you tinker with?
Posted 11 March 2013 - 12:55
Until they stop torturing themselves with full screen apps. You don't have to use them. And you can keep the larger full screen start menu, or you can install 3rd party software to modify your computer to your heart's content. See? Not so bad
Posted 11 March 2013 - 22:30
Running thinks like msconfig, device manager, System, command prompt....and much much more. I even used MSCONFIG to disable UAC and UAC still is enabled. So I have to either make a policy change, or registry change, to completely disable it.
UAC is ok for home users but completely useless for corporate as we have our own methods of protection in place.

Home Opinion Our View PRESIDENTIAL RACE IS MARATHON, NOT SPRINT
First, let's get one thing straight: political racing is not for the meek or the poorly trained. The race for the Democratic presidential nomination has just begun, but already voices are saying, "Get it over with. Save bucks to battle incumbent President George W. Bush and his massive war chest rather than waste them fighting fellow Democrats.''
The truth is, the nation is better off if we let the Democratic race run its marathon course.
In the first caucus, Iowa, and primary, New Hampshire, we are just getting to know the candidates. Only now can we begin getting beyond simple-minded partisanship to learn how the candidates stand on issues of importance in 2004 jobs, health care, education, terrorism.
Soon we will see how the candidates handle themselves in the long haul.
So far some candidates have run like the wind. Others have sustained occasional brain blisters. In Iowa, for example, front-runner Howard Dean fell unexpectedly to Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War veteran. Dean later gave, in concession, what has become known as the "I Have a Scream" speech. "Yeeaagh!"
But Dean has his good points, as Deaniacs will loudly proclaim. He is fiscally conservative and has executive experience as a former governor of Vermont. He has some interesting proposals on health care and other important issues.
Other candidates still racing also need time to either stride out, temporarily stumble or fall by the wayside. In time, their ability to handle pressure and exhaustion, to adjust and adapt, will shine through. Or, in time, their arrogance will cause them to stumble.
It's important that voters have the patience to hear more than just sound bites. Given time, robust debate will occur, clear leaders will emerge and more citizens will become involved in the process.
A presidential campaign is not a sprint; it's a test of endurance. Candidates who stumbled early may yet come back in the long haul to shine.
In 1996, Oregon wisely moved its primary earlier in the year than normal to March 12. That gave voters a legitimate say in the nomination for president.
But in 2000 Oregon relapsed. The May 16 primary came too late for voters to have a say. And in 2004 it is dj vu all over again. By this year's primary, May 18, the Democratic ticket should be all but signed, sealed and waving at us not in person but from our TV screen.
Moving up the primary to March, or piggybacking with the Washington caucuses, would make the campaign count here. It would attract more candidates for visits, and makes good sense not only in empowering voters but also in cranking up a moribund economy. More office space would be rented, hotel and motel rooms used, restaurants frequented not just by the politicians and their entourages but by the media that follow them everywhere. Oregonians would reap the benefits.

The Economist has a piece about how "recession-proof" the video game industry is. Clearly, The Economist is looking at a very macro level when it calls the industry "recession proof," because given recent events we'd be more comfortable if the industry had been classified as "recession resistant."
The magazine notes that the global sales of console hardware and software are expected to reach $50 billion this year. Regurgitating NPD data from October, the mag points out that sales in the US totaled $697 million, which is a 35% increase from the previous year (November wasn't too bad either). The question, of course, is whether the industry can keep it up if things get worse.
Update: We contacted NPD to find out the specific increase in November. The group let us know that software sales were $1.45 billion during the month, up 11% from the prior November.
