Catherine Herridge has busted her butt getting inside info and doing an outstanding job of reporting the Benghazi story and really had a look of dismay on her face after the hearing ended today. Most of what I got out of today´s hearing is that this Morell guy has spent 33 years of distinguished service to his country and, apparently, that we should believe whatever he tells us. What a farce!!These Republican committee chairmen are scoring zero in my book for accomplishing nothing. Who has been indicted and who has gone to jail? Nobody!! Who will be indicted and go to jail. Nobody!!Very disturbing to this right-wing nut!!!

I was only able to watch the opening statements this morning but that was all that was needed to know that this would be another big ´zero.´ Morell lied from the beginning and to think this guy was in charge and didn´t believe his chief of station is just abominable. The analysts in DC know more about what is happening on the ground than the guy there is just plain nuts.

He works for CBS & Hillary. He & a dem were laughing during the testimony. Someone should have told him there is nothing funny about 4 dead people. I am suspicious of people when they have to read the answers. He took a big chance by having the answers available by ??? what questions they would ask.

#8 nails it. Of ALL the FOX women, Catherine is the real journalist, IMHO. It´s not about cute it´s about doing a superior job of bringing us the relevant pointed facts. Of course, she is beautiful as well. That said, until, until the federal employees at every level have the rules changed, are no longer protected when they lie, cheat or steal to protect their own sorry pensions and jobs, we will continue to attract people of dubious character to the top government jobs. Just a fact.

Thank you #s 8 & 12. My thoughts exactly about Catherine Herridge and her work on Benghazi. Almost posted as much a couple of times today.She is indeed beautiful and dresses very nicely, but her focus is always on the subject matter at hand. The hard, serious, professional work behind her reports is reassuringly obvious. She is a shining example of excellence in journalism, and much appreciated in these days when there is so little of it.I find the apparent self-awareness of legs, wardrobe, hair and overall "hotness" to be an irritating distraction from the content of reporting among so many women in the news business. Many of the men are just as irritating for one reason or another. Guess I´m tired of all the "showbiz" in the news business. I rarely watch news programs anymore. Much prefer to read news articles first (and the comments about them here at l.com) in most instances.

Her writing and her commentary on Fox are the most concise, accurate and reliable reports on Benghazi or any other foreign affairs subject she takes on.She summed up Morell´s pathatic testimony this morning in about three sentences.

Fox´s Catherine Herridge and Jennifer Griffin are Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, in the reporting on foreign affairs in general and Benghazi inparticular.Others we do not miss are John Bolton (on foreign affairs) and Chris Stirewalt on anything he chooses to talk about.

I believe Herridge over the WH any day of the week. Somebody had to take the fall & it wasn´t Hillary, Rice or the WH. So the CIA chief threw his subordinates to the wind. Nothing surprising here.Too bad they didn´t have him take a polygraph test before he testified. The whole hearing was a big joke. Call it Lerner Jr. The only way to get to the bottom of all these scandals is to win the senate this year.

The euthanization of three dogs in Vermilion Parish has sparked an online petition demanding answers as to why the dogs were killed.
In just a few days, the petition has more than three thousand signatures. Workers with a rescue agency out of Ascension Parish said they were in contact with animal control, but the dogs were killed just hours before they arrived to save them.
Now just a picture is all that's left of Ringo, Sasha, and Pepper.
"It's heart-breaking, it's devastating because they had a chance at life, and now they have nothing. That's just pure evil in my opinion," said Treva Jeffers, treasurer of Companion Animal Rescue of Ascension, also known as C.A.R.A.
Rescue efforts began with emails sent last Wednesday between C.A.R.A and Vermilion Parish Rabies Animal Control. C.A.R.A. says they agreed to pick up the dogs the next day and says Sasha even had a home waiting for her.
In the email, Vermilion officials said the dogs could be picked up at 8:00 Thursday morning. However, C.A.R.A said they told animal control officials they wouldn't be able to get there until closer to noon. But by then, it was too late.
"It's absolutely most devastating because we don't do this, it's not a hobby. It's not for fun, we do this for the better interest of these animals," Jeffers said.
KATC tried reaching out to Vermilion Parish Rabies Animal Control about the situation, but they said they have no comment.
However, an attorney for the parish police jury gave a statement. Paul Moresi referred to the C.A.R.A and said, "When they did not appear several hours later to pick up the animals, the animals were euthanized in accordance with parish ordinance and a standing order which prohibits over-crowding."
Rescue groups are encouraging residents to attend this week's police jury meeting where they hope the issue will be addressed publicly.
KATC has reached out to Vermilion Parish Rabies Animal Control for specifics on how many dogs are euthanized, and what the policy is when choosing which animals will be killed. However, that information was not available by news time.

I'm a few-weeks-shy-of-no-longer-being-one research PhD student in the Functional Programming Laboratory of the School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham, supervised by Professor Graham Hutton. I'm predominantly a Haskell programmer, but also meddle with Standard ML, OCaml, Clojure and Python.
My current research concerns investigating the possibilities of using monads as an aid to constructing modular compilers within a functional framework, building upon previous work in the field on modular interpreters. I'm also interested in methods of proving program correctness, category theory, automated theorem proving within functional languages and computational complexity theory.
I'm in the arduous process of writing up my thesis, entitled `The Modular Compilation of Effects'. A thesisometer detailing its progress is available here. Put more succinctly, check www.haslaurencefinishedhisthesisyet.co.uk for the single bit of information you're looking for.
In Q4 2013, I worked at Intel Labs in Hillsboro, Oregon as part of the Programming Systems Lab on the Haskell Research Compiler. The paper describing the work I undertook is given below, having appeared at FHPC 2014.
I've also recently become involved in the hacking community. I was one-quarter of the winning team at Hackference 2.0.14 in Birmingham, presenting a Rube Goldberg machine constructed via multiple languages, platforms and APIs. I'm also part of the Ground Control team for Major League Hacking UK, as well as a member of Hacksoc Nottingham.
∃ Native Offload of Haskell Repa Programs to Integrated GPUs (with Hai Liu, Neal Glew, Todd A. Anderson and Rajkishore Barik, FHPC 2014)In light of recent hardware advances, General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs) are becoming increasingly commonplace, and demand novel programming models to account for their radically different architecture. For the most part, existing approaches to programming GPGPUs within a high-level programming language choose to embed a domain specific language (DSL) within a host metalanguage and implement a compiler mapping programs written within said DSL to code in low-level languages such as OpenCL and CUDA. We question this design choice, and argue that by directly implementing a GPGPU offload primitive as part of a general-purpose language compiler, we gain access to a substantial number of existing optimisations without having to reimplement them in a DSL compiler. In this paper we describe the structure of our prototypical treatment of this research direction, demonstrating the applicability of our approach by showing how to bridge between APIs by extending the Repa library of Haskell with an offload primitive, and detailing an experimental implementation of our approach within the Intel Labs Haskell Research Compiler (HRC). We also provide a detailed study of a set of nine benchmarks, by compiling them to both GPU and two distinct CPUs and comparing their performance.
∃ Pick'n'Fix: Capturing Control Flow in Modular Compilers (with Patrick Bahr, TFP 2014)We present a modular framework for implementing languages with effects and control structures such as loops and conditionals. This framework enables modular definitions of both syntax and semantics as well as modular implementations of compilers and virtual machines. In order to compile control structures, in particular cyclic ones, we employ Oliveira and Cook's purely functional representation of graphs. Moreover, to separate control flow features semantically from other language features, we represent source languages using Johann and Ghani's encoding of generalised algebraic datatypes as fixpoints of higher-order functors. We demonstrate the usage of our modular compiler framework with two running examples and highlight the extensibility of our modular semantic definitions and compiler implementations.
∃ Compilation À La Carte (with Graham Hutton, IFL 2013)
In previous work, we proposed a new approach to the problem of implementing compilers in a modular manner, by combining earlier work on the development of modular interpreters using monad transformers with the a la carte approach to modular syntax. In this article, we refine and extend our existing framework in a number of directions. In particular, we show how generalised algebraic datatypes can be used to support a more modular approach to typing individual language features, we increase the expressive power of the framework by considering mutable state, variable binding, and the issue of noncommutative effects, and we show how the Zinc Abstract Machine can be adapted to provide a modular universal target machine for our modular interpreters.
∃ Programming Macro Tree Transducers (with Patrick Bahr, WGP 2013)
Tree transducers are tree automata defining functions from trees to trees. Put simply, a tree transducer is a set of mutually recursive functions transforming an input tree into an output tree. Macro tree transducers extend this recursion scheme by allowing each function to be defined in terms of an arbitrary number of accumulation parameters. In this paper, we show how macro tree transducers can be concisely represented in Haskell, and demonstrate the benefits of using such an approach with a number of examples. In particular, tree transducers afford a modular programming style as thy can be easily composed and manipulated. Our Haskell representation generalises the original definition of (macro) tree transducers, abolishing a restriction on finite state spaces. However, as we demonstrate, this generalisation does not affect compositionality.
∃ Towards Modular Compilers For Effects (with Graham Hutton, TFP 2011) [winner: Best Paper Award]
Compilers are traditionally factorised into a number of separate phases, such as parsing, type checking, code generation, etc. However, there is another potential factorisation that has received comparatively little attention: the treatment of separate language features, such as mutable state, input/output, exceptions, concurrency, etc. In this article we focus on the problem of modular compilation, where the aim is to develop compilers for separate language features and prove their correctness independently, which can then be combined as required. We summarise our progress so far, issues that have arisen, and further work.

Cubs-Reds Preview
Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds
- Cincinnati has posted 58 wins against the Cubs since the beginning of the 2010 season -- its most wins versus any opponent in that span.
- The Cubs have won three consecutive games and will be looking to win four in a row for the first time since June 30-July 4.
- The Reds have won each of their last two games after posting just two victories in their previous 14 contests. Cincinnati leads the season series with the Cubs, 9-4.
- Former Red, Travis Wood, is winless (0-6) in his last 12 starts and will be seeking his first victory since June 15. Wood is 1-5 with a 3.68 ERA in eight career starts against Cincinnati.
- Johnny Cueto, who will be looking to become baseball's first 16-game winner this season, has just one loss in his last nine starts (the loss came in his last start -- last Wednesday against St. Louis). Cueto is 5-0 with a 1.30 ERA in his last six starts against the Cubs.
- Billy Hamilton is one steal shy of becoming just the third Cincinnati Reds' player to reach 50 stolen bases in a single season since 1990 (1997, Deion Sanders had 56; 1995, Barry Larkin had 51).

By JEFF MEZYDLO
(AP) -- The Chicago Cubs are again set to showcase a prospect they hope will play a prominent role in their future.
Highly touted slugger Jorge Soler is expected to make his major league debut Wednesday night when the visiting Cubs try to match a season high with their fifth consecutive victory against the Cincinnati Reds.
With starter Kyle Hendricks, outfielder Arismendy Alcantara and infielder Javier Baez all having enjoyed various levels of success since making their big-league debuts for Chicago (59-72) this season, the 22-year-old Soler provides another glimpse of the rebuilding franchise's potentially bright future.
"We're starting to see that light at the end of the tunnel," All-Star Anthony Rizzo, who hit his 30th homer in Tuesday's 3-0 win at Cincinnati, told MLB's official website.
"There's always an expectation to win, but with these guys coming up, they're going to be patient and let them develop and get their at-bats in, but at the same time, we want to win, too."
Considered among the club's top prospects alongside the 21-year-old Baez, the Cuban-born Soler hit .340 with 15 homers and 57 RBIs while posting an on-base percentage of .432 and slugging .700 in 62 games playing in Double-A, Triple-A and the rookie league this year.
"It's pretty exciting for the whole organization," manager Rick Renteria said. "It's a young man that has been talked about a whole lot. I'm sure the organization would like to get him up here, get his feet wet."
Soler is likely to be in right field next to Alcantara, who has homered in two straight games and is 6 for 11 with three RBIs in the last three.
Though the Cubs scored all their runs and recorded seven hits in 6 1-3 innings off Cincinnati ace Johnny Cueto on Tuesday, they face another serious challenge against Mat Latos (4-3, 2.99 ERA).
The right-hander allowed a run in seven innings of a 4-1 win at Wrigley Field on June 25 to improve to 5-0 with a 1.88 ERA in his last seven starts against the Cubs.
Latos has been nearly as dominant in August, going 2-0 with a 2.48 ERA in five starts. He overcame nine hits to limit Atlanta to a run over six innings of a 3-1, 12-inning loss Friday.
The Reds (63-69) were shut out for the 12th time Tuesday and have lost eight of 10. Todd Frazier had one of those hits and is 3 for 8 in two games after going 1 for 14 in his previous four contests.
Frazier is 3 for 5 with a double against Jacob Turner (4-7, 5.77), who makes his first start since Chicago acquired him from Miami on Aug. 8.
The right-hander, who allowed one run and three hits in 4 1-3 innings of two relief appearances for Chicago, is 4-5 with a 6.03 ERA in 12 starts this season. He gave up five runs and nine hits in four innings of a 7-3 loss to the Reds in his most recent start Aug. 3.
Rizzo is batting .347 with seven homers in 14 games against the Reds this season, but it's uncertain if he will play after leaving late Tuesday with lower back tightness.
He's 2 for 15 versus Latos.

Gold offers a negative yield, hasn't historically been a good inflation hedge and isn't even that much of a safe haven in times of market crisis. Indeed, it's looking like a bubble. But in times when governments are distorting all asset prices, it's nice to have something tangible to hand.

A Prolonged Goodbye (Leaving NYC in Six Weeks) and My Farewell Tour
So, w/ deeply conflicted feelings (glee and melancholy), i sold my loft in UnionSquare and i am moving to Asia: i'll be based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, but i'll be spending the next 3+ years traveling to pretty much every country in Asia, dining, drinking, and generally looking for trouble...
My one-way ticket is in February, so i'm hitting most of my fav NY spots before i go...while it'd make sense to skip Sripraphai and the selective Manhattan Thai joints where i've convinced them to cook me the real stuff that's not on the menu, i've actually been going to them quite a bit to practice my Thai language skills...and as far as some of the other Asian places, i know i'll be getting better Asian food in Asia but i have to hit them for old times sake...generally speaking, so far i've been rabidly going to:
-- Russ&Daughters (god, i'll miss that place)
-- Grand Central Oyster Bar
-- Ushi Wakamaru
-- Balthazar
-- Angels Share (more for drinks, but it's a special place for me)
and also will be hitting: Picholine, Keens, Lupa, Honmura An, Ferdinando's (RedHook), Cafe Sabarsky, NY Noodletown, the bar at Cafe Des Artistes, Cafe Mogador, n33, La Nacional, and Cafe Cafe (just for coffee and Soho people watching)...
i'd like to get some more great Italian food while i'm here: it's been a while since i've been to Da Umberto and Piccolo Angelo so might go there -- and maybe Malatesta where i've never been...any other suggestions on amazing NYC Italian most welcome: i've been to Babbo i really haven't been to a lot of the major older-school high-end Italian places...
And, any other suggestions on places that i've missed out on while i've been here: most welcome... ANY cuisine, particularly if it's something i'm unlikely to find in Asia...on my hit-list of restaurants i've never been: Florence (West African)...and maybe a Puerto Rican place?...
i've loved participating in this board over the last few years....in advance and for past opining, thank you all: culinary compatriots, mock-enemies, fellow class clowns, acerbic sparring partners, and gentle strangers: for your suggestions, connoseurship, criticisms, vitriol, gusto, wit, passion, and verve...
Yours Truly, Simon
Good luck to you!
If I were moving abroad, I'd try and get my fill of:
Tapas at Tia Pol and/or Sala
Lupa/Otto/Bar Jamon/Casa Mono
Pizza, pizza, and more pizza (John's, Patsy's, Lombardi's, Grimaldi's, Di fara's)!
Burgers at Corner Bistro
Philly Cheese Steak at Carl's
BBQ at Blue Smoke
Desserts at Veneiro's, City Bakery, and Il Laboratori Del Gelato
Hotdogs at Gray's Papaya
On the higher end, I'd go to Gotham, Bouley, Craft, Peter Luger, and wrap it all up at The River Cafe for a picturesque farewell to our city.
re: ChowDiva
i've never tried Tia Pol...i'll add it to the list...
re: RGR
i'll definitely do your excursion! (although once i go into Russ&Daughters, it's always difficult for me to resist simply going home and making a beast of myself gorging on smoked salmon)...truth be told, i don't eat beef so much so that's why Katz's wasn't on my list, but i suppose another pastrami there would be a fine thing...
You definitely want to visit restaurants that are a rarity in Asia. With that said, ChowDiva has a good list going, and I agree, say goodbye to Katz's for goodness sakes!
If I moved, I would certainly miss the coffeehouse experience that defines big-city lounging: Joe's, 9th St. Espresso, Sant Ambroeus, Via Quadronno, Zibetto for a great Italian experience.
Village favorites: Hearth, Prune, Little Owl, Blue Ribbon Bakery all offer great food in nice city dives. And 'ino for paninis!
Soul food: I've heard good things about Florence's, but never been. Try Charles' Southern Kitchen, Amy Ruth's, La Marmite for Senegalese.
Pizza is a must: hit up Grimaldi's, Lombardi's, DiFara's for a final farewell.
Bagels: I'm sure you've done it before, but do a final bagel-showdown, because nowhere is bagels more contested than right here - it will always be a NYC thing. Ess-A-Bagel, H&H Bagels, Murray's Bagels, Absolute Bagels.
Pastries: Poseidon Bakery, Almondine, Rocco's, Veniero's, Payard, La Maison du Chocolat - and many of those cupcake places.
Cap things off at Eleven Madison Park - you will have a sensational time, and it really defines fine New York City dining.
Best of luck, Simon - and Happy Happy Eatings.
All i have to say is you will be HOOKED UP on the food in chiang mai- thailand has some of the most incredible food i've ever eaten. you can obviously skip sripapai before you go, because you are in for such a treat. nothing in the west compares to the real cuisine in thailand- now i'd be hitting russ and daughters every day cause you won't see bagels and smoked fish for a long time... enjoy fb
re: frankbooth
Here's a link to the Greater Asia board, which includes Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Don't be a stranger!
re: Pat Hammond
Thanks!...i'm sure i'll peek into the Manhattan board from time to time (although it may make me terribly homesick)...
Before I leave the city for any kind of long-term trip, I try to get the following in:
- bagels and lox at Ess-A-Bagel (though I really have to work on getting over to R&D)
- concession special at Gray's Papaya
- schwarma/falafel at Azuri Cafe
- plain Junior's cheesecake
- favorite burger and fries (not getting into that black hole of a debate as to which place is best, but this is especially important if you're going to a place largely devoid of burgers)
- Korean BBQ, or anything from my favorite Koreatown spot (Woorijip)
- some kind of bento box from Katagiri
- plain frozen yogurt at Bloomingdale's 40 Carrots
- a good cup of coffee...
I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but I'll need to revisit this thread before I travel to Spain in a few weeks...
You are essentially moving to chowhound heaven, as Asia is THE place for eating and drinking- a fact which you obviously grasp already. I lived and traveled there most of my adult life and am constantly trying to relive that dining pleasure in the U.S. (sometimes with success, sometimes not).The only things I really missed living over there were cheese-based items and Western desserts. So I'd get some fill of that stuff. Also, kind of strange, I missed American style Chinese food. Not a deep, pining "miss", but a "like-to-have" type of miss. And for some reason, I would miss roast turkey with mashed potatos and gravy. Anyhow, best of luck to you Simon. Maybe we'll cross paths sometime,
re: Silverjay
thanks!...because of the cheese, i plan to hit the bar area of Picholine at least once...and yeah, roast turkey is classic American goodness: a buddy of mine in Bangkok had some there on Thanksgiving and told me it didn't measure up at all...if you want to email me to talk food/travel/Asia sometime, i can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com (that's not my main email, just the one i use when i have to post on an open forum, then i'll email back from one of my regular ones)...
Go back to Piccolo Angelo & try Florence (by the way, it's African, not soul food as someone said above). I've had very good experiences at both lately. Both owners alone are worth going for. Unless you have a major emotional attachment to Ferdinando's, get to DiFara for pizza instead or al di la (in Park Slope) for an excellent Italian meal. I also recommend a visit to Ali at Kebab House in Astoria. Just tell him you're leaving and ask him to cook for you. Frankly, I'd also recommend Peter Luger's, Uncle Nick's (or similar Greek place), Hearth, a couple of E.Village Italian places (Max was mentioned; was L'il Frankie's?) & the Ukrainian Home on 2nd Ave (or whatever it's called). Couldnt hurt to get to a rodizio while you're at it: Platforma (either location) or the new one on Park Ave.
Excellent suggestions, one and all.
I would stock up on NY Jewish food, such as above suggestions(Katz, R & D) and would add to that places such as Barney Greengrass, Moishe's Bakery, Kossar's Bialys and either of the pickle joints on the Lower East Side.
I would also recommend that you hit up the M&G Diner for some great American Fried Chicken, and, by all means, please report back on the Thai Fried Chicken. I've heard it's amazing.
I know I don't have to tell you this, but have a great time.
Hi Simon,
I am very happy to hear that you will be starting a new CH journey in Asia. I have been to most of the places that you mentioned, so I am sure you will enjoy the food and the cultures there! In my experience, the Asian places that you mentioned usually serve pretty good high-end western food (e.g. French fine dining) and a lot of the famous Euporean restaurants (e.g Pierre Gagnaire, Joel Roubuchon, Alain Ducasse, and even some Australian famed restaurants) have their branches in Asia such as Hong Kong, Thailand, Shanghai, Tokyo, etc. They are mainly targeting the tourists who are willing to pay a hefty price for fining dinner, so the food is generally up to the standard.
What I found to be hard to find in Asia is the "everyday" food that we have in NYC. So here is my list of things that you may want to load up before you leave, as it will be very hard to find the authentic stuff there:
1. Brooklyn / NY styled Pizza - In Asia, it is much harder to find good quality pizza in general, let alone the NY styled pizza. The super-crispy-thin crusted (i.e. Italian styled) pizza are available at some better Italian restaurants (and hence more costly), but you won't be able to easily find a GOOD grab-and-go thin-crust pizza in Asia. The available selection is limited to Pizza Hut and Domino's, and mostly of them are already customized to fit the Asian palettes i.e. think Peking Duck Pizza or Pizza with Salmon in teriyaki sauce). So if you are not a fan of say, California Pizza Kitchen, you really should load up on thin-crusted pizza before you leave!
2. Bagels, breads, and things that involve a dough - my experience is that Asian prefers bread soft and moist, and the crusty and crispy types that we prefer in the US. I had such a hard time to find good sourdough bread which was only available in a gourmet bread store an hour away from where I lived...) You will have to go to gourmet markets for some very expensive European bread that taste closer to home. I found it the hardest to find true good bagels (actually still wasn't able to find one), they just don't have the same thing in Asia. So bagel, bagel, and more bagels!
3. Steaks! needless to say, almost all the Asian restaurants that serve high-end beef are sourced from the US (kobe beef is another story...) And you will pay about 3 times as much for a USDA prime steaks in Asia as in the US (and the quality is not even as good as they are previously frozen). When my family comes to visit NYC, they always want to have steaks because they taste better and relatively cheap. Same principle holds to Burger.
You can probably find some high-quality pastries, fine-dining, etc. as long as you are willing to pay the price (as they are usually served at fancy hotels or gourmet stores). It is intriguing to me that it is the cheaper food like bagels and bread that you just can't find the real thing even if you are willing to pay. Seafood in generally is much cheaper in Asia (except in Japan) so you can save your appetite.
I hope you have a wonderful stay in Asia. Please let us know any interesting food, events, or experiences that you come across in Asia. Of course, for any questions please post it in Chowhound! There are so many experts here I am sure you will find your answers!
Happy New Year!
re: kobetobiko
thanks for the thoughts!...i actually eat bread fairly rarely, but i will be eating a few parting pizzas and bagels...true, i am definitely not a fan of Cali-Pizza-Kitchen and its clones so i'll be getting my fill of Grimaldi's and TwoBoots before i go...
Your family visits from Japan?
re: Simon
Hi Simon,
My family is over many different places in Asia, and I grew up in Hong Kong. We moved to Toronto Canada about 10 years ago, and I studied and worked in the US (West Coast, Midwest, and now NYC) for the last 8 years. I did work in Japan for a year, and I go there about once a year to visit my friends. Now, my dad and my sister are located in Hong Kong and travel to China a lot for business. My brother is in Taipei and travels to Thailand at least 4, 5 times a year to have fun. My mom and I like to travel, so whenever we go back to Hong Kong to visit our family (a few times a year), we like to stop by nearby cities such as Bangkok, Tokyo, and Seoul for a short stop.
I would say I probably am the most familiar with food in Hong Kong, China, and NYC as I have spent a lot of years in these cities. But my frequest visit to Asian cities allow me to keep up to date to the food scenes in different countries. I have to admit though, that I don't think I know too much details about the food in more rural areas in Asia (not like Tony Bourdain who can go to these villages to try the really authentic and family-style cuisines). Back to the beef question (I guess that's where your question about my family is about...) I found US beef in Hong Kong and Japan to be outrageously pricey compared to here. Ruby Tuesdays or Outback (well, kind of Aussie) are much more costly in these cities. My family and Japanese friends enjoy having beef in the US because 1) High quality beef in Japan is SOOO expensive and 2) US beef is a different type of "food experience" to them. They eat it differently (serve in big chops, US style) than when having Japanese Beef (usually small slices, or shabu shabu (thin) - may have something to do with the high price tag). So it's a whole different beef experience to them!
I think we who live in New York are very fortunate as we are exposed to a diversity of ethnic food. Hong Kong has a very similar selection in food variety compared to New York, where you can find a lot of ethnic food that is quite authentic to the original(a tiny note: Japan is the least authentic in ethnic food IMO; everything to customzie to Japanese palette. I always only get pure Japanese food when I am in Japan) It helps to introduce me to many cuisines even I haven't had the chance to visit the countries (e.g. Italy! Greece!). While it is a good introduction, it still can't replace the real experience you have in that country, just like I can never get that NY style pizza in Hong Kong. I am very excited for you to have the chance to visit different countries in the next few years and STAY there to get the full experience. I think you as a CHer will definitely enjoy the experience and I hope you can share your experience with people here!
Have you travel to Asia before? There are a few things about food that I will suggest but you may already know or see it in books. (e.g. boiling water for drinking...)
Sorry that I keep talking and talking. My best of luck to you, and feel free to keep the postings coming!
If you get a chance, go to BITE on Lafayette & Bleecker. They have an amazing Spicy Middle Eastern Turkey sandwich (along with some great paninis). They have a really hot Thai green coconut curry. Its run by a couple of guys from Thailand so you might be able to hone your language skills.

One agency hit hard by the state budget cuts last year was the community services board. But WHSV found out a recent move by the general assembly has gotten some of that money back.
The Community Services Board provides a variety of important services to almost 3,000 people in the Harrisonburg/Rockingham County area.
"Our mission is to provide services to three main groups," says David She, Director of Community Support Services. "One is people with mental illness, the second is people with mental retardation and the third is people with drug and alcohol problems."
But the CSB has had its budget cut by nearly half a million dollars since January of 2002. That's led to hiring freezes and a reduction in services.
"We were one of a number agencies who share the burden of the state's reduced tax revenues," explains Shue. "Although it was not a cut we were happy about, we also did get some funding restored through the General Assembly."
Money totaling $40,000 was recently approved by the county supervisors. The county and city also increased the CSB's budget by 24-percent to try and offset the cuts.
"I think it's fair to say that the city and county have always had a particular interest in children services and so when they increased their support we made sure that we focused some of that on restoring some kids' services," says Shue.
The $40,000 will go to a program called pace, which helps kids that are born with developmental delays or learning difficulties. Shue says one good result of the budget cuts was it helped focus attention on segments of the population that are often ignored.

The groove's surprisingly open and soulful, making the record feel a bit like a Prestige Swingville or Moodsville set – and it's especially nice to hear Kessel in such an unfettered set.

"I'm Guinan. I tend bar and I listen."Working in a bar is never easy. You have to deal with lowlifes, drunks, soldiers who will harass the female entertainment and some of the clientele with their better armed arsenal, and the average Joe who confesses his life problems to you as you pour him another round. This is the life of The Bartender: he pours a round and just quietly listens and observes the setting. Unless, of course, he's asked for advice. Just how valuable this advice might be depends on the story, but when you're desperate and maybe a bit drunk, it might seem like a good idea. Expect him to hear "I'll Tell You When I've Had Enough!" pretty often. The real weirdos will be the ones who get Drunk on Milk. Many bartenders are known only by their nickname. They also often take up the duty of a quest givers in any fantasy (or science-fantasy)-themed Tabletop Game.

Dinner party seating conundrum
- j
- Japanecdote Mar 10, 2011 04:01 PM
Tonight I'm having a few friends over for a dinner party. We're all good friends (plus one good friend's mom) and so it's quite casual.
So here's my problem - there are 9 people coming over, and I have two seating options in my small-ish apartment. I can put my computer table up against the kitchen table and use all kind of mis-matched chairs to seat everyone. I've done this before with the same amount of people, and while it's certainly nice to eat on a table, it's very cramped and there's not a lot of elbow room. Plus usually I run out of tall-enough chairs and someone has to sit on a stool and be shorter than everyone else.
Option 2 is to just have everyone eat in my living room on the floor or on the couch. I have a large coffee table that 5 or 6 people could eat at comfortably, plus a couch for two.
We're having chicken parmesan, so it's not exactly a finger food. Since we're all friends it's not a big deal, and it doesn't have to be fancy at all, but I'd love to hear any opinions on which is preferable - cramped seating at a table or relaxed seating on the floor?
You'll probably all end up in the living room for desserts/coffee/nightcaps, so why not give just a touch of formal and have the main at the table? I say this, even though we tend to have holiday get -togethers in the living room, but sometimes I miss the big table.
No one minds the mismatched chairs, and find a couple of seat cushions for the stoolpidgeon. :)
re: runwestierun
Chicken parm on a stick. I agree that it would be very difficult to eat chicken parm with it balanced on my lap while I sat on a couch. Cramped seating would be fine and if you want to spread out, have an easy to eat dessert in the living room.
re: chowser
I've done dinner parties around my coffe table with pillows, the couch, etc.. I loved it because I do not mind sitting on a pillow but I had a few friends who were uncomfortable on the pillows, could not get up...
re: Alica
I love sitting around on the floor but not if I have to eat a meal that requires a knife and fork. I think of sitting around a table with cushions and finger foods, or at least bite sized foods. Although, when we host my inlaws for formal meals, some have picked up their plates and plopped themselves down on the couch in front of the TV so it probably doesn't bother them. If they got stuck on the floor, I'd most likely leave them there floundering.
Chicken Parm would be a nightmare to eat without a table. I am more prone to enjoy sitting at a table to eat even if cramed. I am a taller person and sitting indian style on a pillow on the floor is not a fun activity for me.
Now you know this group more than us, but like suggested if you want to sit in living room change menu
It sounds like you already had your party. In the future, let your surroundings dictate the kind of party you'll have and the kind of food you'll serve. If you only have dining space for 6, invite 6 for a sit-down party.If you want to invite more, have a cocktail party with a buffet of finger foods. If you want to do the whole pillow-and-coffee table thing, make the party a Middle Eastern or Japanese theme so at least people feel like the food is dictating the atmosphere, not the lack of dining chairs.
At the table or elsewhere? I have been trying hard to understand why people would choose a couch/coffee table over sitting at a real table after my 60+ sister told me they always eat in front of the TV with trays or coffee table or lap. The TV part if fine, we do the same, but why you wouldn't set things up so you can sit at an actual dining table is beyond me. The same with parties. If you're serving knife and fork food, please give me a table and chair. Otherwise, make it finger food please. If you have to squeeze folks into a table, that's ok, it generally makes for a livelier evening.
re: escondido123
As a guest trying to eat in a living room situation, I'm quite likely to ask the host if I can drag a straight chair from the dining room into the living room. It is difficult to eat while sitting / slumping on a soft couch; I always prefer a straight-backed chair, even if my plate is in my lap.
It's too late for you (hope your party was a success wherever you had it!), but for everyone else, please, please serve at a table. People are generally game about eating wherever the host seats them, but I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority prefer to be at a table, unless they are at a cocktail party with tidy finger foods.
If you like to entertain, it probably makes sense to buy a folding table and chairs. If you're not ready to commit you can rent a table and chairs for this event and even get the right sized table linens and chair covers from any party rental place. I think your guests will be much more comfortable and you will feel more confident as a hostess.
re: escondido123
Well apparently it is too late for this particular individual but your guests would have no way of knowing that you had rented a table. Taking care of seating in a comfortable and organized way takes a lot of stress off the hostess and ensures that guests can eat and converse comfortably.
Well, of course you can all feel free to keep discussing, but the dinner party was a success and great fun.
Although I live in Japan (in a safe area far from the quakes and tsunamis) we had a nice evening, reveling in friends and food and simply being able to enjoy these things when we could have easily been in a very different situation.
I had a couple of people who RSVP'd no who showed up anyway, so fitting everyone at the table wasn't even an option. I put two tables together with all the chairs I had, then had a group sit around the coffee table in the adjoining living room. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, the conversation moved easily between the two rooms, and there were no spills or food disasters.
Thanks for all the advice, I'll certainly keep it in mind for future get-togethers!
re: Japanecdote
Glad you and your guests had fun and you all are fine. Take care.
re: Japanecdote
> Japan
Funny you didn't mention that. Isn't it customary to sit at low tables and cushions on the floor?
re: GraydonCarter
I suppose it is at Japanese-style restaurants and the like. Most homes have a kitchen table and chairs. Plus, all of my guests were American/Australian.

Little Saigon Marlboro
- seal Dec 9, 2010 05:45 AM
Figured it's time we got the name and place right in a thread.
For readers who know, this place was originally located in a storefront in Howell and just recently moved to its new location on Route 9 in Marlboro. In its old location they were mainly a bahn mi sandwich takeout joint. The new place has a full Vietnamese menu and plenty of clean, comfortable seating. They also still have the bahn mi, but you have to ask for a separate bahn mi menu.
We had four dishes and shared some rolls first. The rolls were as I remembered them, good, small, and a little too greasy. The dipping sauce was first rate. The dishes were mixed, with the huge bowl of noodle soup the best item. Beef cubes in a brown sauce were decent, the bbq chicken was very good, but the fried rice and the chicken with broccoli were both dry and not that flavorful.
I will definately go there for some bahn mi in the future, but I am still looking forward to the return of Saigon 2 when they open in the spring in Red Bank.
Thanks seal, I was very disappointed when I don't see Banh Mi on their menu. Didn't know they have a separate menu for that.
> Figured it's time we got the name and place right in a thread
So, can you tell us where is this place?
Here is your post on the original Howell location:
re: GraydonCarter
It's on Route 9 N in the Marlboro Square plaza just after Damon's.
We went to Little Saigon the first day we knew of it. Our visit demonstrated several kinks that needed to be worked out. My standard for comparison is Pho Than Hoai Vietnamese Restaurant on Route 9 in Sayreville. The Little Saigon restaurant features large portions, though on examination a lot of my dish was rice noodles. I got no more meat than I would have gotten at Pho Thanh. The "hot" tea was certainly tea, but only lukewarm. The service was slow and my wife's dish came at least ten or 15 minutes later than mine. They could have brought out her soup to fill the time, but they seem to have completely forgotten her meal until we reminded them. The chicken in her dish had a fair amount of gristle. The condiments are not put on the table; you have to go get them. The room was cold in spite of the vestibule, and leaving there was a surprise step down that is hard to see and nearly tripped us. Overall not a very good performance.
re: Mark Leeper
I reviewed our visit when the restaurant had just opened and it was not doing a very good job. Many of those problems have been addressed. Now the problem is that the food is really rather bland. The soup has little more than a salt and seaweed flavor. The vegetable with the lunch was some sort of root-vegetable like turnip and without much flavor there either. The BBQ ribs were a little tangier, My wife had tofu stuffed with meat and it did not have a lot of flavor, but it did have a lot of oil. I live nearer to Pho Thanh and I much prefer it. Your mileage may vary.
Little Saigon
172 US Highway 9 N., Englishtown, NJ 07726
re: Mark Leeper
Pho Thanh is the one in Sayreville right? If so, I do agree that one is better.
Little Saigon is a little expensive for a Vietnamese place, and the food is decent but not great. However, with the lack of variety in the Marlboro/Manalapan area, I am just glad that I have an okay option for authentic Asian food.
re: Mark Leeper
I ate at this place today. Hungry, I stopped at Burger King. What? $5 plus dollars for a Chipotle Whopper? For a few dollars more, I can get a bowl of Pho instead! So that's what I did.
The bowl was HUGE. I can easily say it was bigger than my head, and for only $7.50. However, i've also eaten at Little Saigon, and my vote still goes to them. The depth of flavor in their beef broth is multi-layered and sensational.. this place was okay, but I thought rather bland and "one-note."
Better sauces at Little Saigon, too. More side condiments, AND they serve limes, whereas the South Amboy place served one lemon piece.
Still, I grabbed a menu.. maybe I'll try one of their other dishes sometime.
And as a side note.. a little more south there was a "Dragon Bowl" express Chinese food place where Checkers formally was.. now it's drive-through sushi.. but didn't look open when I drove past.
re: MarlboroMan
Must have been an off-day--we always get limes at Pho Thanh. On the other hand, on our last visit to Little Saigon it took a long time to get the pho--and another five minutes before they brought out the sprouts, Thai basil, and limes!
My major objection to Pho Thanh is how hard it is to get to from the south. If you're coming up Route 9, you need to make a Jersey left north of it, which involves an almost blind left turn onto Bordentown Ave, then another uncontrolled crossing of a through street. I actually prefer the longer, safer way, of taking Ernston to Bordentown, turn right, and then right onto Burlew Place just before the Route 9 merge.
Our favorite is the #18, which comes with grilled pork.
re: yCf
I certainly agree about the lack of cuisine variety in the Marlboro/Manalapan area. But a Vietnamese restaurant with dismal food is not exactly something to cheer about. The negative reports have made me decide against trying it.
re: RGR
I do think you should give it a try though. While I think it is not the greatest and Pho Thanh is better, it is certainly not dismal. The basic Vietnamese dishes such as Spring roll, Pho, Bun, and Pork Chop rice, etc are fine. I do understand the complain about service because it seems like they are family run so the server aren't really professionals. They seem like a friendly bunch though. They constantly have a 15% off coupon in that small, thick coupon booklet in the mail.
re: yCf
Just to clarify, there is a Pho Thanh Hoai in Sayreville, and a Pho Thanh Do in Edison.
Pho Thanh Hoai Vietnamese Restaurant
960 US Highway 9 N, Sayreville, NJ 08872
My son and I had lunch there today. The shrimp summer rolls (2 for 3.50) was good, slightly on the small side. The seafood Pho soup, really good, but a little pricey about $12.00. The menu is extensive, the atmosphere good, and the location, excellent. I will go again. Time and gas spent to go to Edison is no longer necessary. There are 3 menus, regular, lunch, and the sandwiches. We were only given the regular (dinner menu). I believe the Asian customers were given all the menus ..... I'm not Asian. I've been to chinese restaurants were the english menu prices were higher then those on the chinese written menus ,,,,,,
re: junkliss
Pho Thanh on Route 9 in Sayreville is also closer than Edison.
re: junkliss
I'm not Asian and was given all 3 menus when I went for lunch last Friday so I don't think its any more than the issues of getting the service right at a new place. On both of my visits the service was haphazard but friendly and the food was very good.
re: Bossa_Nova
Yea, use to go to Pho Thanh all the time, and then I noticed the portions getting smaller and the prices getting higher - why ? no competition. At least on Rt 27, there is plenty of competition.
re: junkliss
I've been to both and Little Saigon is on par with the one up North. They recently had their grand opening, and while I'm sure there are some kinks to be worked out, my meal was very enjoyable. The spring rolls and shrimp/pork summer rolls are excellent, and I had the rare beef Pho - also very good and flavorful with plenty of beef; the size/portion, was no dfferent than up north and the beef was plentiful. I also had the calamari appetizer which was flavored with salt and pepper, which was very good.
I highly recommend everyone give this place a try.
Little Saigon Restaurant
2801 Arctic Ave, Atlantic City, NJ 08401
re: dannan
Yes, dannan, I've been there twice more since my post of Dec 28 and I sent my Chinese friend, whose been their twice. Yes, the food is good and the service friendly. They fixed the door in front (mini-ramp) so you no longer can trip walking inside. Coming from the east (that is from 520 towards 9), make a left into the shopping center where pathmark use to be. Then go out between the opening between Kohls and Staples, cross the small street and park in what looks like a lot behind a strip mall. That is where the restaurant is. This avoids the left on 9 and then the then the next u turn.
re: GraydonCarter
Has anyone tried any of their other dishes or appetizers besides the Pho?
re: FoodDude2
I had one of their Banh Mi (sandwiches) on New Year's Eve (my first ever Banh Mi!). I was hoping/expecting to be blown away. It was good, but it didn't knock me out of my socks like I was hoping it would. Plus it took about 20 minutes to prepare after I ordered it (and I was told 10 minutes). I'll go back to try the beef Pho, though.
My husband and I went for dinner this past Saturday night. We got there and found the place packed - always a good sign! We waited 15 minutes for a table which did not seem inappropriate. Once we were seated, we waited at least 10 minutes before we were even given menus. When we got the menus we asked for water and wine glasses. Ten minutes passed, water and wine glasses were brought (but no one opend our wine), and our order was taken. My husband na dI each ordered a cold salad as our first course and then we ordered a fish and a chicken dish.
In retrospect, I was very glad that our wine was not opened because after waiting 25 minutes, and despite several attempts to engage the waitstaff, we still did not have anything to eat. It was at that point that we decided to get up and go elsewhere.
Now I know why the place was packed when we got there 45 minutes earlier - it was still the same crowd that had been there since the place opened that day!
Upon leaving, the only thing that we got was a cursory apology. It is a shame that an ethnic restaurant in this area could not get their act together, and we are always looking for someplace new and interesting to eat.
re: MamaJ32
The food was good, but I also found the service way too slow and inattentive. I went on a weeknight when it wasn't really too busy and still had a hard time getting the wine opened and getting water glasses refilled. I can't imagine the service when the place is packed.....shoot me now!
I've been Pho fan for years and I think Little Saigon makes a very good Pho. I am new to Banh Mi which are tasty sandwiches served on crusty French bread with assorted meats or seafood.
The difference here is instead of lettuce/tomato you get shredded carrot, cucumber, cilantro topped with spicy mayo and fish sauce. I will be ordering more of these. Thanks for the
recommendation junkliss.
I have gone only on weekdays so service was OK. I can imagine on a crowded weekend this
new place could use more help.
I have been there twice now. I have only tried the Banh Mi (BBQ Chicken) and Mango salad both of which were EXCELLENT!! They don't have the BBQ Chicken Banh Mi on the menu, but when I went in the first time the owner recommended it. I'm so glad he did. YUM!!! When I went back the second time I wanted to try something else, but I couldn't get my mind of that Banh Mi. :)
Little Saigon

Every time I go to Little Saigon I am pleased that Da-Nang (aka Pho Than Hoai ) in Sayerville is more convenient for me to get to. The people who run Little Saigon are a little friendlier than than the people who run Da-Nang. That is about the only advantage. Da-Nang has a much bigger (and somewhat cheaper) menu and some of their Pho (Vietnamese beef soup) offerings are much more generous than anything I would get at a comparable price at Little Saigon. The squeeze bottles for sauces (like Hoisin) need to be cleaned off in order to work and not send sauce squirting in the wrong direction.
The Pho had less meat than Da-Nang would give you and it would cost less. It would not be correct to say my soup came with bean sprouts and my wife's came with dipping sauce. It would be more accurate to say
beansprout dish came 10 or 15 minutes later, followed by
wife's dip. Little Saigon has coupons in various magazines, but I think Da-Nang is a better deal even without coupons.
re: Mark Leeper
Little Saigon is most likely just a memory... Bright orange tax seizure notices on their doors, and a notice that their electricity had been shut off for non-payment as well. I had a feeling things weren't going well for them when they stopped printing menus; they only had the menu online. That was a sign of starting to cut corners.
re: MarlboroMan
I think the owner of the Vietnamese restaurant in Howell across from Home Depot, will be buying the place at least that us what he told me last month.
re: junkliss
And what's more, I passed PH0 99 on R36 today (near Monmouth mall)and they are progressing, ever so slowly.
the guy in Howell told me that the PH0 99 place is being owned by one of his customers. As we say at work,
truth is all over the place" .....

You seem to have everything under control so I'm not sure what you are asking.
Hunter Frost Traps work well and Lich King triggers them and makes them become active so even if your hunter gets picked up its already down.
Just spread your slows out, rogues can weapon swap to an OH w/ crippling during this phase, you have 3 SP's, you could even make an Arcane Mage pick up slow and you could double up slows on every Valkyr.
Ret PLD aoe stun when they come down, then have the second stun happen when they are like halfway out then have a third stun on them if/when they get closer to the edge. Just let people know which stun they are on each target so they don't go DR as soon as they land from everyone stunning everyone of them.
Also are you aoeing ahead of time right before they land? That helps alot except for the 2nd one where Defile lines up right behind it. Having everyone going all out AOE right before they land puts alot of damage on them and allows ppl to then find their target after they are marked and they can keep AOEing if they all fly out together or switch to single target if they fly off in different directions.
