Herring Festival Grand Central June 5, 2013
- jcmods May 28, 2013 09:02 AM
I saw the sign up today in the station. The whole thing starts on or around June 5.
I went every Friday during the season which only lasts a little over two weeks. One of the greatest things at the Oyster Bar. Of course, it is an excuse to eat oysters and clams too....and to wash it down with Dutch Genever.
Great catch! I still remember eating raw herring cut up with raw onion from the little carts by the sea in Scheveningen--long before I'd ever heard of sushi.
re: foodwhisperer
You think Russ and Daughters serves raw herring, Dutch style?
re: Elisa515
Most definitely. Every year around this time. I usually go on three or four occasions and eat a filet right at the counter, with chopped raw onion.
re: small h
Fantastic, thanks! (making plans)
re: Elisa515
Yes i'm sure of it
re: foodwhisperer
Russ & Daughters definitely have it every year. However, you can not eat it there. If you can get it home, great. (I was actually tempted to show up with a cooler and bring some to Rhode Islande for my inlaws, but that was a logistical nightmare. I actually got it there one year after I missed out on the Oyster Bar season. I was reduced to eating it on the street with my fingers from a plastic tub.
re: jcmods
I went to the parkette across Houston and ate the raw herring there, along w/ some other goodies from R&D.
re: Monica
We've been to Aquavit's herring fest every year for the last four or five years - always excellent. They've changed it up a bit this year, though: previous years you just got the big AYCE smorgasbord - a half-dozen herrings, meatballs, two kinds of salmon (gravlax and hot-smoked) plus a few other things. This year I'm not sure what's in the buffet, but they're also including an entree and dessert of your choice to sweeten the deal a bit. Not sure if you can pick any entree off the menu or there'll be a specific selection, though. It's also only two days this year - we're going the first day, very much looking forward to it.
re: sgordon
It looks like the festival is from June 15th to 22nd which is 8 days. I am going to see if I can go on the weekdays as I work literally about 2 min away. Sounds like a sweet deal.
re: Monica
From the email: "Aquavit's Annual Herring Festival will take place on Saturday June 15th and 22nd from 11:45-2:30pm." - so only those two days unless they've changed something. They might actually be fully booked already, but sometimes tables can be gotten by calling that aren't in the online rez system.
re: sgordon
You are right. Where did I get 'to' from?
Thanks for the clarification.
What is actually happening on the 5th? It says the herring are coming in but the festival doesn't start until the 19th.
Any idea on whether they have their herring to go? I've gotten used to heading to Russ & Daughters for the Hollandse Nieuwe and having them at my convenience where prying eyes aren't terrified of a man eating a whole herring like a seal... or a Dutchman.
re: JungMann
According to an email I received from R&D, the Dutch authorities postponed the start of the season 'til 6/19 because "Exploratory fishing determined that the herring have not yet reached their peak Omega-3 fat level."
re: small h
that is correct. the bad weather (it's been the coldest spring since mid 80's or so?) is responsible for the delay. it's happened only twice in history though. was first postponed in 2006.
herring sellers have been selling the so-called 'new' for about 3 weeks now.
<-- this seal eats around 120 a year.
re: JungMann
Oh no, glad I checked. It is on the Grand Central Web page that it is pushed back to the 19th.
I was really jonesin' for it.
Note that the GCOB is in the middle of renovations and the large dining room is closed. The herring fest will be a madhouse. And I have seen people show up with coolers to bring them home. Website list June 19th as the start.
The herring is on for today. Also Russ and Daughters taking orders for pickup. $40 for 10 filets.
re: Silverjay
Is it only to stay or can you take them to go? There's just something about Hollandse Nieuwe that makes them inherently street food to me. Any word on the status at Russ & Daughters?
re: JungMann
Just called Russ N Daughters and they have them in.
re: JungMann
You can get them to go. Ive seen people bring coolers to take them home on the train.
re: Silverjay
Yeah this was the first time for me for the Herring Festival but I loved it. Probably going to have a nice lunch there tomorrow. I made the mistake of getting oysters last time so I will try those cherrystones as well. The oysters were fine, just not in peak season.
re: Monica
Yeah beer and herring are a great combo. You actually gave me a great idea of getting the 40 filets at Russ N Daughters mentioned up thread and having a nice picnic in DBA's back yard.
re: MVNYC
Because of the delay by the Dutch Government we were not able to get there on the first Friday. But I am going this Friday if it kills me...and at least one more time on July 3rd.
I recommend having the Genever (indigenous Dutch gin...it's a lot easier to stomach than straight regular gin and it goes wonderfully with the herring.)
Finally got a chance to go to Grand central oyster bar for some herring, tuna burger and a glass of ice cold beer.
Had an excellent time at the counter. Herring was butterly, firm and flavorful. Tuna burger with tomatoes was excellent as well. Had a beer called Allagash and I finally found the beer of my dream.
re: Monica
Allagash is the name of the brewery. Currently GCOB is pouring their white ale...I had a Victory Prima Pils...They always have a few nice beers across different categories.
We went to GCOB for the herring festival with our Dutch neighbors. Great fun!!
Fabulous fresh Herring filets. We held them up by the tail and ate them Amsterdam style.
A dozen oysters, chowder and oyster roast completed the meal.
Our neighbors even got some herring to go!! I was disappointed they did not wear their wooden shoes.
re: Motosport
Ha, I wanted to eat like that too but I was alone and it just felt awkward..haha. I should go back and order some mattaki oysters. Do you prefer new england style chowder or manhattan style chowder?
re: Monica
I like New England chowder better. We took a Winter trip to Amsterdam and found food trucks selling herring. Held the tails and took a big bite!!! Tasty!

Microsoft IT Business Case for System Center Configuration Manager 2007 in a Data Center
Published: September 2008
Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) manages thousands of servers worldwide in multiple countries for a large number of departments and customers. This document provides the business case for Microsoft IT and other customers to deploy Microsoft® System Center Configuration Manager 2007 to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and streamline the management of software and hardware assets throughout the organization.
Intended Audience
Products & Technologies
Article, 136 KB, Microsoft Word file
IT executives, managers, and leads interested in developing a business case for Microsoft technologies to manage their server infrastructure.
This document will demonstrate the business case that Microsoft IT made to implement System Center Configuration Manager in a data center to reduce costs through optimized IT resources, improve efficiency, and enable the data center to meet its data and computing needs. Additionally, this document will detail how the implementation of key features will help Microsoft IT align with the Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) and the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) to manage change and assets and to conduct change control.
Microsoft IT supports Microsoft employees worldwide, providing key infrastructure to users and business groups within Microsoft. This infrastructure encompasses everything from clustered servers in centralized data centers to the individual servers at Microsoft offices worldwide.
Microsoft IT supports a broad range of systems and users, including more than 100,000 clients running the Windows Vista® operating system and more than 150,000 installations of the Microsoft Office 2007 system. This presents challenges in scale that require the most reliable architectures for deployment, management, maintenance, and inventory.
The challenges for maintenance and operations are not limited to the desktop computers. Worldwide, Microsoft IT supports more than 250,000 computers and 700,000 devices. These computers include server infrastructure spread among six data centers worldwide, in addition to servers in business offices located in more than 100 countries. Microsoft IT manages data centers from three cities—Redmond, Washington, in the United States; Dublin, Ireland; and Singapore.
Microsoft IT's infrastructure supports not only a very large number of users, devices, and servers, but also a heavily used application and communications infrastructure. This infrastructure supports more than 100,000 mailboxes, 73 million instant messages per month, and 1.2 million remote access connections per month.
Microsoft IT supports multiple customers. Each one of these customers has different schedules that demand that servers and applications are available during key times of the day, month, and year. Considerations include sales-driven and accounting-driven end-of-month tasks that dictate that servers must be available to support the business. Additionally, these customers' requirements cover numerous time zones and are not aligned on a single schedule. Microsoft IT must deploy updates and perform maintenance without affecting the business for every customer.
Combining a large and demanding infrastructure presents a high degree of expertise and an extremely scalable and tested solution. When combined with continued growth worldwide, the challenge of managing servers, desktop computers, applications, and devices can easily overwhelm even the most highly trained staff. For example, in a single six-month window, the number of managed devices such as desktop and laptop computers grew from more than 180,000 to more than 320,000. The benefits of server consolidation further underscore the need for more precise management, because more individual operating system installations reside on fewer and fewer servers.
All of these factors introduce challenges in scale, deployment, and management of hardware and software assets. Traditional methods of patching individual servers are simply not an option for an organization of this scale, which would require thousands of operations personnel. Instead, Microsoft IT uses fewer than 10 server operations staff members worldwide. These demanding tasks can be performed even more efficiently with the use of System Center Configuration Manager 2007.
Business Need for System Center Configuration Manager
Microsoft IT has identified the following components as key areas of benefit for the organization:
- Reduced operations overhead
- Improved server change control
- Automated software and update deployment
- ITIL and MOF life-cycle alignment
- Centralized change and configuration management
These drivers represent the core components of the business need for Microsoft IT and System Center Configuration Manager. The following sections describe these areas and the benefits that System Center Configuration Manager offers.
Reduced Operations Overhead
With the growth of any business, the need for additional servers is common. The growth in servers also has a less obvious cost of additional facilities capacity, including power, cooling, and physical space. Each server also has a maintenance cost associated with keeping current on operating system and application updates. A server left without updates can represent a risk to the network and other vital server infrastructure. This means that the entire infrastructure must be maintained and updated on a frequent basis. Combine this with continued growth, and the need to operate efficiently inside scheduled maintenance windows is critical. Any improvements to each server can be multiplied against the entire infrastructure and can reduce the costs associated with maintaining servers and their applications.
One of these key drivers for increased capability is to reduce operations overhead. This capability enables a team of server operations personnel to maintain the same or larger number of servers and applications without increasing workload or staff. This benefitis accomplished through System Center Configuration Manager 2007 features that streamline and automate tasks that previously had to be done with custom scripts or done manually, consuming operations and support resources. By providing features that automate these tasks, staff resources are free to pursue other tasks or manage more servers with the same amount of effort. A clear area of benefit for the staff is the use of System Center Configuration Manager 2007 to enable staff to manage the more than 15,000 servers by a relatively small group of fewer than 10 staff for server operations. The same is true for the desktop support staff, where a team of approximately 50 members manages more than 240,000 desktop computers.
One key challenge for many organizations, including Microsoft IT, is the management and deployment of update levels. Microsoft IT operates within several windows, where the updates are first available to the product, tested by the staff, available for scheduling, and finally required for deployment by a certain date. Each one of these alone represents a significant effort when the organization is working with production and development environments, and each window represents an even greater aspect of overhead for individual business units outside Microsoft IT.
For example, Microsoft IT manages more than 15,000 servers worldwide, and each of those servers needed a various mix of more than 30 updates in six months. This is not an unusual scenario, with numerous software applications and operating systems needing periodic updates. The servers are divided among various business units and departments operation staff needs to coordinate with each department for the update scheduling and delivery. This means that while demand is increasing from the business to be as flexible as possible for server operations, the delivery of services has become more complex for Microsoft IT as the infrastructure grows.
Improved Server Change Control
One of the greatest areas of risk for many organizations is the gap between the release of an update and the implementation or deployment of the update to all company resources. Vendors issue updates to address possible stability concerns or application security concerns, both of which can create tremendous risk for the business infrastructure of any company. By reducing the response time for deployment of updates, an organization decreases that risk. Additionally, reporting is often just as critical as the deployment technology because operators can use it to learn which computers have not been updated. Three key technologies or features included with System Center Configuration Manager 2007 enable this benefit:
- Windows Server® Update Services (WSUS) is an essential part of the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 update deployment technology. This feature allows for detailed reporting as well as a high degree of customization that enables efficient download and delivery of software updates. By integrating with WSUS, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 can use all of the advanced features and make them available within the System Center Configuration Manager console.
- Maintenance window settings in collections enable the System Center Configuration Manager operators to apply specific maintenance windows for each collection. These collections can map to locations, application server groups, or any logical group that enables the servers to be administered and updated as a whole. By applying specific maintenance windows to each collection, the operator is freed to manage more servers efficiently instead of having to constantly manage maintenance window schedules for each individual server.
- Improved reporting and state messages enable operators to clearly understand which deployments have succeeded and which require manual intervention. This is not only visible within the console, but also easily translated to automated reports that can be provided to business customers and leadership for a clear representation of adherence to policy and service level agreements (SLAs).
Automated Software and Update Deployment
Despite the large number of application and operating system updates that are needed on an ongoing basis for customers of Microsoft IT, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 is ideally suited to reduce maintenance costs associated with testing, approving, and deploying updates. System Center Configuration Manager 2007 now takes advantage of WSUS, which provides a great deal of flexibility for downloading, testing, and delivering applications. Through the use of new features such as templates in System Center Configuration Manager 2007, updates can be assigned to collections. System Center Configuration Manager administrators can deploy approved updates to a group of servers though the use of a template in a much easier series of steps. Rather than have to follow up with each group individually for every update, the updates can be applied based on the rules for each collection.
This ability greatly reduces the amount of effort required for the operations team to deploy updates, but can also be used for deploying new applications. This ability can enable the staff at Microsoft IT to manage the approximately 15,000 servers worldwide and 240,000 desktop computers worldwide and still support the business through flexible and effective software deployment and updates.
Each one of these features has an essential role in reducing the steps required for operations staff to perform maintenance on servers throughout Microsoft IT. By streamlining the processes as mentioned earlier, the same number of staff can support a greater number of servers.
ITIL and MOF Life-Cycle Alignment
One key element that is often difficult to quantify in terms of resources is the protection benefits of having a faster turnaround time for updates. Updates are often driven by stability and security improvements in products from a variety of vendors. Reducing the amount of time needed to approve and deliver an update reduces the window of risk from not running the update. This means that a large organization such as Microsoft IT can enjoy a much faster turnaround time through a streamlined deployment process.
Through this increased response time, Microsoft IT can apply the ITIL and MOF more effectively. The operations teams can therefore follow the process and guidelines set forth for Microsoft IT as an organization.
A central role for Microsoft IT server operations is the management according to the MOF. Microsoft created this framework for its customers, but Microsoft IT also heavily relies on this framework for strategic management of IT infrastructure. The following sections describe the main phases of the MOF and how they relate to Microsoft IT and System Center Configuration Manager 2007. System Center Configuration Manager 2007 supports the organization at every phase of the MOF, which enables operators to support the constant life cycle of change within the organization.
Although planning is usually associated with new infrastructure or software implementations, Microsoft IT has the same task for each major software update that is deployed. Because of the highly varied schedules and requirements of various departments and customers internally, Microsoft IT must plan for every deployment to ensure that deployments of updates comply not only with the availability requirements for the specific server, but also with the delivery schedule set by policy.
System Center Configuration Manager 2007 enables this process to be simplified through task sequencing and automation. Rather than manually schedule each application update or coordinate with each individual team, administrators can set and reuse components such as System Center templates to schedule and group deployments, which simplifies planning.
Through the use of collections and advanced software packaging tools such as the task sequencer, the process of building solutions that consist of operating systems, applications, and detailed configurations can occur faster and more consistently through System Center Configuration Manager 2007.
One of the central roles for Microsoft IT is the deployment of not only new applications and operating systems, but also the continual maintenance of the Microsoft internal infrastructure with updates. These updates may come in the form of vendor-issued updates or simply optimizations to the current infrastructure.
The operations portion of the MOF is the central role of Microsoft IT for System Center Configuration Manager 2007. Through the use of the robust tools provided, Microsoft IT can manage a very diverse and highly complex environment.
The benefits of automation, reporting, and desired configuration management are crucial components that are executed in this phase of the MOF. The automation and increased capabilities of System Center Configuration Manager 2007 over previous releases enables administrators to manage configuration and support tasks with greater effectiveness. Detailed reporting on updates, installation progress, update requirements, and application inventory provide a complete view for all of the systems that Microsoft IT manages, creating vital statistics within reach that would normally take significant resources to collect and manage.
Desired Configuration Management (DCM) is at the heart of the operations phase of the MOF, enabling the operations team to extend policy enforcement and reporting throughout the organization's servers. In addition to reporting, automated rules and responses can be set to provide automatic configuration correction when needed.
Centralized Change and Configuration Management
System Center Configuration Manager 2007 offers several important functions that administrators can use to manage software more efficiently. These features enable Microsoft IT to reduce the effort required for managing the servers within its care. This savings can be used to either use more servers with the same infrastructure through efficient centralization and scaling of the System Center Configuration Manager 2007 infrastructure, or enable the team to take on new functions to support the business. The following key features help reduce maintenance costs:
- Application updates to various components of System Center allow for greater flexibility and automation. This includes scheduling the deployment of update packages and more detailed control over collections.
- WSUS offers many advantages to previous update models. WSUS provides detailed reporting, allowing for advanced management of complex infrastructures through a single interface. System Center Configuration Manager 2007 directly uses these advantages.
- Task sequencing is an addition that is central to operating system deployment but plays a major role in many functions of System Center Configuration Manager 2007. Essentially, task sequences allow for multi-step and multi-component deployments. For example, if an enterprise application has been deployed on multiple servers and is at different update levels throughout the organization, the task sequencer enables administrators to deploy specific updates based on various decision points such as current configuration or software version. The task sequencer plays a key role in numerous other components, including update management and deployment for cluster servers, which have historically proven to be more challenging to update through automated procedures.
- DCM plays a key role in reducing updates. Many organizations deal with slight variations in server settings, application versions, and update levels. DCM enables the operations team to enforce desired configurations. This enforcement can range from simply enabling Remote Desktop to requiring or prohibiting applications. Through this feature, the operations team is able to enforce business policies for software compliance, security, and more. This feature reduces the cost that is normally associated with an administrator having to adjust servers individually.
These technologies play a vital role in streamlining the update process, which is often a key role of the server operations team. Reducing the effort for complex tasks, automating repeated actions, and allowing settings to be enforced through policy greatly reduce the time required to keep the organization healthy.
The implementation of Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 provides three major business benefits for operations customers. These benefits are reduced cost of deployment for updates and applications, increased response time for installation of updates, and automation that enables organizations to fully take advantage of the Microsoft Operations Framework. Although emphasis varies by customer and infrastructure, these benefits remain a large opportunity for customers of different sizes. Many operations teams grapple with the challenges of maintaining an infrastructure that complies with the MOF, but with System Center Configuration Manager 2007, Microsoft IT can respond more effectively to the guidelines of the ITIL and the MOF and support the business more effectively.
Reduced cost of management is easily calculated through the reduction of work hours spent on update deployment and is a compelling story for System Center Configuration Manager 2007 by itself. Even the smallest reductions in time spent on systems compliance, update management, update deployment, and other tasks can be multiplied by the sheer size of the Microsoft IT infrastructure and show near-term benefits. It is important to recognize that the infrastructure that Microsoft IT uses can be used just as quickly and effectively by customers of many sizes.

Urasawa - Fugu?
I was hoping to take my girlfriend to Urasawa as a Christmas gift but heard that they no longer serve Fugu (Blowfish). Is this true? If so, is there any other place in So. Cal that does?
Beyond that, I'm certainly open for any suggestions for a gift for this adventurous foodie/wino girlfriend of mine. We did French Laundry last month so it's becoming harder to top each experience.
Check the New Otani :
Re."it's becoming harder to top each experience"
Risking being off-topic here, I'd suggest the purpose of foodies in life is to enjoy, rather than trying to, as you put it, "top each experience."
re: RicRios
Well said RicRios.
Being a foodie, to me, is as much about having a tongue taco at the car wash as it is about ordering the foie gras app at an au courant restaurant.
if urasawa doesnt have fugu, chances are you won't find it anywhere else in CA. since you have the money, just fly her to NY and go to Masa.
Last time Hiro-san told me that they would have the fugu sperm sack available in January. I believe there is a supplemental fee of $150 in addition to the regular omakase.
I had the good fortune to eat at URASAWA last week. Hiro-san said that he cannot get fresh fugu, only frozen, so he doesn't serve it. He confirmed what I had read on Chowhound, i.e., his last shipment was intercepted by the FDA and he paid a big fine, in addition to having the other items in the shipment tossed as well.
With that said, URASAWA remains the highlight of my culinary experiences and I couldn't care less about fugu as long as toro and Kobe beef are available.
re: ostudio
I had fugu once at Oga restaurant outside Boston...I had a slight reaction afterwards and went to the ER... in hindsight the risk wasn't worth experiencing the tingling sensation, and the fish itself was pretty rubbery and tasteless...stick with Urasawa sans fugu
re: barleywino
what was your reaction? that must have been frightening... i think if it was poison though, you probably wouldn't have even made it to the ER... much less gotten out of your chair!
re: rameniac
Used to catch blowfish in the 60's-70's in and around Jones Inlet on the SS of LI. What we would do was to pull off the tail from the fish, and just cook and eat that. Was told the rest of the fish was poisonous. We thought of them mainly as pest fish then.
re: rameniac
flushed, headache, heart racing, anxiety...especially after reading on the internet about trained fugu chefs in Japan dying every year from fugu poisoning...they just kept me under observation at the ER for a bit, figured if it were poison, symptoms would be much worse
The fugu you get in America is not a big deal. Urasawa, on the other hand, is incredible. Go.
The Fugu that was available in the USA is "FARMED in Japan". It doesn't contain the "toxins" that the Wild Fugu does. Urasawa is so fantastic, just go! BTW we love FL also, did you do the 16 course Chef Menu? (our favorite)
Did you take her to Joel Robuchon's place in Vegas yet? Without having tried either that place nor French Laundry, I would venture to guess the gastronomic experience at Joel R's would "top" French Laundry. (Just guessing...)
Bonus points -- I believe Joel R came outa retirement to open his signature Vegas restaurant.
From what I've read, Urasawa sounds like a good bet -- even without fugu.
One day you'll have to make the trek to Spain for El Bulli!
I've eated some fine and memorable meals in my day, but these ones just seem to be in the fiscal stratosphere, beyond my reach, so I just read about them and drool!

Reviews for Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy
Sort By :
"I first found this recipe around 18 years ago and have always loved it. The tanginess of the gravy is so good."
"I liked the pattie flavor although I had to cook them on medium high as medium was taking much longer than the 3-4 minutes per side that was suggested. They also never reached the 160 degree temperature, as read on an instant meat thermometer, yet were cooked through. Did not care for the gravy though. It was too tangy for me."
"I didn't have French onion soup so I used one package from a box of Lipton Beefy Onion Soup & Dip Mix. Following the Soup directions, I used 1/2 the water called for and out came condensed soup! I liked the gravy the soup mix produced."
"This recipe was just ok. My kids didn't eat it at all. I really liked how the patties turned out, but the gravy was disappointing. It was such an overpowering flavor of onion, it needed something to balance it out. Next time I will use regular Brown gravy."
"I first found this recipe in an old cookbook 25 years ago. We have always loved it. I too make extra sauce if I can. My recipe differs slightly by adding 4 T. of water instead of two. I actually think it makes the grave a little thinner and milder. One time I made appetizer size meatballs instead of patties for an appetizer. My dinner guests were nuts about them. This has been a go-to recipe for me for a long time and will be for a long time."

Review about Taking Back Sunday songs
Elijah Whittington | Reviewer: Elijah------ About the song A Decade Under The Influence performed by Taking Back Sunday
I just have to say, I can listen to this band for decades and this band will never get old. This is my forever #1 band of all time and it will always be.
Maybe He's Crazy | Reviewer: Friends With Bacon------ About the song Make Damn Sure performed by Taking Back Sunday
It almost sounds like this could be told from the point of view of someone who's been friend zoned by one of the cool kids. Maybe he tries so hard but he just doesn't get it. He's still awkward and doesn't fit in. He can't hang and doesn't understand the way she talks, but because he's so smitten he still does what he can to be of use to her. Down towards the end it almost sounds like he goes a little nuts. "make damn sure you can't ever leave, you'll never get too far from me," sure sounds like he's plotting to kill her and bury the body under his floor. Or maybe he plans to get her addicted to hero in, that would work too. Another, less likely, scenario is he plans to keep her around by putting a ring on her, but that doesn't really work in this context. Just my interpretation. Powerful song either way, and I even like the video.
Lyric Interpretation | Reviewer: Lauren------ About the song Make Damn Sure performed by Taking Back Sunday
I have been listening to this genre for seven years now. After memorizing these lyrics and watching the video only a hundred times, I found the meaning. It's a man who is obviously battling an addiction and depression and he has a female friend whom he has a painfully platonic relationship with. He doesn't depict whether or not this platonic relationship is with a female which he makes a point with by stating he is inferior to people in general. Apparently he can't handle the fact the he's not "good enough" for "her" and he's frustrated. The term to break someone down is to reveal their inner truths which he wants to do to "her" out of spite. This whole song is made to whatever frustrations he has with inferiority and it is merely out of spite.
Never heard this one | Reviewer: anon------ About the song The Ballad Of Sal Villanueva performed by Taking Back Sunday
I been listening to this band since 2004 and i never heard this song before. Man, this band is great, seriously and anthem of my youth. Can't say the new stuff is as good, but this album is timeless.
11/24/2012 | Reviewer: Thomas------ About the song I'm Not Gay (I Just Wish I Were) and/or Baby, Your Beard Hurts performed by Taking Back Sunday
This is honestly one of my most listened to TBS songs, I have a live version on my phone. As for what this song is about: From what I can make out, this song has a meaning Similar to 'The Ballad Of Sal Villianueva'. Starting off, it sounds like the girl is using the guy for sex. "You Reach, reach for my Shotgun" "Something Like a
Movies porn" This chorus is basically saying I made it out of this relationship, because this wasn't even a relationship. Then I think, later in the song, the guy starts using her for sex. "I'm running circles in this town" "Im a crash corse in desperation". In the end, they both just decide, there is no point In this relation ship because "it's only this". Now note: No one knows exactly what this song mean, that is just what Im assuming. I wish they did a studio version of this song, this song was only ever played live. Sometime in 2010, all the lyrics were changed, Which the original ones were better. Hope they record this in a studio!!
Fml | Reviewer: Fml------ About the song Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team) performed by Taking Back Sunday
you lied to me..you ruined my life. this is the worst day ever because of YOU. I can't stop crying. why did you break up with me? why did you lie to me? why!!!! I know you well enough to know you never loved me.
"nice message"? | Reviewer: Love it but..------ About the song Spin performed by Taking Back Sunday
I fail to see how everybody seems to think that there is any kind of positive message in this song. Unless i'm interpreting it wrong, it's a song about his partner becoming heavily depressed after aborting his child, and in response he lies and cheats her which she takes lying down, then she leaves, comes back out of love, and he won't have her? I've seen tbs many times live, love them to bits, but this song shows how much or a pig he really is. Please someone disagree with me?
Ummmm | Reviewer: AnonymousBrandNewLover------ About the song There's No "I" In Team performed by Taking Back Sunday
I'm not sure if it's true that he cheated. Neither artist likes to talk about this situation, and a lot of Your Favorite Weapon is about a break-up, and it seems to be about something different than infidelity.
<3luff. | Reviewer: Anonymous------ About the song You're So Last Summer performed by Taking Back Sunday
Taking Back Sunday was my life in grade 7. <3
Their songs helped me through alot.
& Meant a lot. Haven't heard them in years now.
In 12th grade as of 2011-2012. :P
Yet these songs bring back so many memories.. <3
"Maybe I should hate you for this.."
message | Reviewer: Anonymous------ About the song Spin performed by Taking Back Sunday
i'm confused that on a lyrics site, people are concerned about the technique and not the message they are trying to convey. this is pretty obviously an angry song and so they abandon good technique as a manner of expressing the reckless abandon that you get when you're in a fight with someone (i.e. you don't always place together your words right, you yell, etc.) look at cute without the e, miami, new american classic, slowdance on the inside and you're so last summer and tell me that adam doesn't have a good voice...

Beauty by the Minute: The Perfect Summer Makeup
Whether you have a few moments to spare or barely a second, there's a perfect summer makeup look for you. Here are four fast ways to get fresh and glowy in mere minutes.
By Kayleigh Donahue Hodes
Yes, you can get this fresh and pretty: Brush on black mascara for eye-opening magic, and go rosy on your cheeks and lips--the natural-looking color takes zero precision to put on. Use a cream blush (it's sheerer than powder, so blending is a cinch) and a tinted lip balm, which moisturizes and adds color in one swipe. See ya later, beautiful!

"The president of Afghanistan hopes that with President Obama's re-election relations between Afghanistan and the United States, based on bilateral interests, are further expanded," his spokesman Aimal Faizi told AFP. The US has some 68,000 troops in Afghanistan helping Karzai's government fight a Taliban insurgency.

City, state must perform better
Sometimes, the convergence of government blunders is so startling that it cannot pass unrebuked. So it was recently, when side-by-side news stories on one day revealed how "the system" is failing its citizens, from ongoing Handi-Van snafus to a mishandled negligent-homicide case, to an accused child-assaulting teacher being cleared to teach here.
Let's be grateful and healthy, too
In this world of struggle and confrontation, Thanksgiving Day offers respite, even an escape hatch. What's better than a sumptuous meal with relatives and friends (assuming those annual familial clashes can be avoided) to provide insulation from the noise?
Students should be UH priority
The unpleasant business of balancing the University of Hawaii-Manoa's budget cost one chancellor his job and continues to bedevil his successor. UH's flagship campus, while not bleeding red ink, is drawing down on its financial reserves at an unsustainable rate.
Sex offense harms community trust
The rights of convicted felons to go on with their lives after paying their debt to society should not trump the public trust. Especially when the felon in question works for the government, paid for by the taxpayers. Most especially when the victims of the crime are children, the most defenseless members of our society, without a vote and too often without a voice.
Unlucky they live in Hawaii
The fact that hundreds of homeless people in Hawaii haven't been here very long is no surprise to the outreach workers who spend their days trying to help poor, downtrodden, disabled, unlucky and sometimes just plain dysfunctional people manage their lives.
Strengthen state services to protect keiki
Skilled, compassionate foster parents are so essential to the state's social safety net. Without any doubt, they deserve a system that recognizes their value to Hawaii families, especially its children.
Immigration action welcome
President Barack Obama's unilateral changes to immigration policy may represent the only way any of the undocumented immigrants who have built lives in the United States could hope for any relief from the fear of deportation in the foreseeable future.
Prosecutor must tighten ship
When he first sought to return to the city Prosecutor's Office in the 2010 special election, Keith Kaneshiro touted his eight years holding the job previously, as well as his tenure as state Public Safety director.
Kaena permits a good first step
The Kaena Point State Park Reserve, a wild and beautiful public treasure, needs help. Years of uncontrolled off-road vehicles scouring the land on the Mokuleia side of the reserve have left great swaths of erosion, trampled vegetation and exposed soil washing into the ocean.
Push policies to allow more homes
So much demand, so little supply. That's the dire bottom line when it comes to truly affordable housing for Hawaii's families -- and unless work on policy changes begins today to address the shortfall, a growing number of keiki o ka aina of this and future generations will be forced out of Hawaii.
Arizona Memorial poorly managed
Two internal reports released over the objections of the National Park Service shed greater light on disturbing organizational failures that tainted the ticket-distribution process at the USS Arizona Memorial.
Navy fuel tanks need fixing ASAP
A task force trying to ensure that the underground Red Hill Fuel Storage Facility does not contaminate an aquifer that supplies one-fourth of urban Honolulu's drinking water identifies the crux of the problem: The Navy reacts to leaks after they occur, once fuel has tainted the surrounding environment.
Craft policies to encourage self-reliance
Success resides at the intersection of opportunity and motivation. Hope lives there, too. For low-income Hawaii families with young children, programs that focus on both generations -- parents and kids -- are more likely to foster the lasting benefits that break a multigenerational cycle of poverty.
Restructuring charter school offers lesson
The complete overhaul of Halau Lokahi Public Charter School is the necessary next step for a campus that has long struggled financially amid accusations of nepotism and mismanagement, but also retained a loyal core of families who appreciate its combination of online and Native Hawaiian- focused learning.
Value Kakaako's open waterfront
An abject lesson on how not to proceed revealed itself recently to the Hawaii Community Development Authority -- a crucial reminder to the state agency of its duty to fend off any proposal that seeks to wall off Honolulu's open waterfront with oversized development.
Plan for more Chinese visitors
A long-awaited and much-needed change in visa processing that simplifies repeat Hawaii trips by Chinese tourists should be celebrated as a potential boon to the Hawaii visitor industry.
Ige raises hope for DOE reform
That new day Gov. Neil Abercrombie promised for Hawaii's public schools may actually arrive with Gov.-elect David Ige, propelled to office with the help of the Hawaii State Teachers Association and possessing a far deeper knowledge of the decentralization movement the current governor once lauded.
Veterans' care the price of war
Veterans Day is an occasion for sober reflection on what the American military is asked to do and on the long-term implications of that service. As a war-torn 2014 nears its close, it's all the more sobering to look ahead to the sacrifices of the future.
Making Kakaako more affordable a worthwhile goal
Oahu residents struggling with the cost of housing — and that would be most people, at one stage or another — have to feel encouraged by the conversations underway recently among members of the Hawaii Community Development Authority board.
Don't abandon linking tests to teacher pay
It's no surprise that the state Department of Education might delay linking teachers' pay raises to students' test scores. Criticism from the teachers' union has been building for years, centered on whether it is fair at all to judge an instructor's worth on the basis of her students, much less on the results of a brand-new standardized test aligned with curricular standards known as the Common Core.
Benefit cuts to noncitizens could backfire
The U.S. Supreme Court has absolved Hawaii of paying for health coverage for noncitizens, which includes thousands of migrants from the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
Review staff and duties of PUC
When the state made its commitment to go green in 2008, it did so without fulfilling part of the pledge: ensuring Hawaii has the regulatory capacity to do the job.
Maui GMO vote isn't the last word
Lawmakers at both the Maui County and state levels must not misread this week's vote on Maui's genetically modified organism initiative. Its passage doesn't make it a winning public policy, so officials must take care to avoid acting in ways unsupported by the scientific and legal analysis.
Ige win resets paths for state
With a final emphatic win in his "David vs. Goliath" season, David Ige is Hawaii's next governor — and the state, though remaining in Democratic hands, is poised to change course in such key areas as fiscal restraint, Kakaako and public schools.
A day to make your voice count
It's Election Day — finally, after a particularly grueling campaign season infused with an unprecedented amount of super-PAC money that fueled too much inaccurate, negative messaging.
Tools in place to help homeless
Honolulu is poised to begin coming to grips — at last — with its homelessness crisis, and not a minute too soon. This year's annual "point-in-time" survey of the state's homeless population, released last week, shows a significant uptick in the count of people living in the streets, at a time when the problem is ebbing elsewhere in the country.
Elections poisoned by cutthroat ads
The record amount of outside money spent to influence Hawaii elections has further cheapened political discourse in a state already suffering from voter apathy.
HCDA shouldn't rush hearings
Surely, there is more integrity to the Kakaako redevelopment approvals process than hewing to developers' timetables. Unfortunately, that's the questionable impression being sown with the public as HCDA accelerates hearings and decision-making schedules for two high-impact projects in the district.
Clear the air for UH basketball
University of Hawaii athletics, already hobbled by previous administrative and financial woes, was hammered again this week with the dismissal of two basketball coaches and the disqualification of its star player as an extensive investigation by the NCAA swirled around them.
GMO initiative would be bad law
The growth of the genetically modified organism (GMO) seed development industry in Hawaii has generated a great deal of community anxiety, and the community has responded with efforts to curtail the activity.
Probe of PRP should advance
State attorneys should review whether a campaign-spending complaint against the Pacific Resource Partnership Political Action Committee warrants criminal prosecution.
End DHHL program for housing credits
The Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, a federal law enacted in 1921, was intended to give homesteads to those of at least half Native Hawaiian ancestry. This was meant as a means of redressing in small measure the loss to the indigenous population after the overthrow and annexation of the kingdom.
Voters should support pre-K amendment
Of the five proposed constitutional amendments before Hawaii voters, none is more controversial than ballot question No. 4, relating to early childhood education.
Takai best choice for U.S. House
In some ways, the contenders to represent Hawaii's 1st Congressional District seem more alike than different. They're both intelligent, affable family men, both military veterans and both experienced politicians.
Ozawa, Fukunaga for Council
Anyone elected to the Honolulu City Council has won a large share of power -- as one of only nine members -- that directly affects quality of life on Oahu.
Coastal areas face growth issue
The tension between development growth and "keeping the country country" looms large in several traditionally rural areas along the west and north coasts of Oahu.
Suburban issues dominate races
From long-established Pearl City, to bustling Mililani and Waipio in Central Oahu, to burgeoning Kapolei in Ewa, these are the domains of Oahu's quintessential middle-class communities.
Solid talent awaits entry into House
From Nuuanu to downtown to Aiea, these state House districts comprise the bulk of Oahu's most-established, working-class residential communities.
Changes afoot in state House
This general election, Oahu will see 28 contested races for the 51-seat state House. Few upsets are expected in the Democratic-controlled chamber, but with a handful of districts without incumbents and a couple of legislators making questionable headlines, some churn is on the horizon.
Incumbents in state Senate tough to beat
Eleven contested seats in the 25-member state Senate will be determined in the Nov. 4 general election, about half of those in Oahu districts that range from urban Kakaako-Waikiki, to rural enclaves such as Makaha and Heeia-Waialua.
David Ige our choice for governor
Hawaii elections have been seen as an unchanging landscape, but even the most cynical may find that an ill-fitting stereotype, now that political alignments are shifting
Use tax credits to expand isle manufacturing
Hawaii is not famous for its factories. But it could be. Manufacturing -- the conversion of raw materials into finished goods for sale -- makes up only 2 percent of Hawaii's total gross state product.
Stabilize tuition at UH-Manoa
The budget trouble at the University of Hawaii-Manoa has all the elements of a perfect storm: Enrollment is falling and tuition is rising at the flagship campus, which is spending more tuition revenue than its collects -- all during an era of dwindling state support that finds the university ever-more reliant on tuition to cover operating expenses.
Ana should dispel our complacency
Disaster preparedness requires constant vigilance. During this exceptionally active 2014 hurricane season, one of the risks is that "preparedness fatigue" may set in, as the general public learns of yet another storm off shore and wonders whether it's really necessary this time to prepare for the worst.
'Yes' to bonds for dam repairs
The horrific result of shoddy maintenance witnessed more than eight years ago in the collapse of Kauai's Ka Loko Dam can never be forgotten. That's the case, regardless of the final disposition of the criminal prosecution, with the sentencing of the dam's owner for his part in the disaster.
For geothermal, safety comes first
Geothermal power has a prominent position in the Hawaii island energy portfolio, and has the potential to make the county energy self-sufficient. But before Hawaii County moves toward that bright future, it is imperative to know the full story on the costs as well as the benefits of any expansion of geothermal development.
Core changes needed at HEI
The state office that concerns itself most with Hawaii's energy issues has added its firm voice to the growing chorus calling for more structural change in how Hawaiian Electric Co. does business.
Bad episode can result in better HPD
There is too much that is unsettling -- and unsettled -- about the case involving Honolulu Police Department Sgt. Darren Cachola, who will not face criminal charges despite being seen on a surveillance videotape apparently punching his girlfriend until she can't even stand up.
Let public see City Council's legal opinions
This week, the Honolulu City Council debated and ultimately voted to release two legal opinions about a controversial hotel zoning bill. That discussion, which led to the unprecedented disclosure move, illuminated why these opinions should be made public as a general rule, allowing for sensible exceptions.
Details needed on public space
The Kakaako waterfront district has long been considered the last diamond-in-the-rough for urban Honolulu, which is why its redevelopment has been deserving of special attention.
Say dispute shows House needs rules
The dispute over former state Rep. Calvin Say's residency qualifications for office has roiled the political and judicial systems for long enough, and it's time for the House leadership to get off the dime and solve it.
Find balance for Army in Hawaii
The U.S. military is evolving, and Hawaii's economy must evolve with it. Although the exact scope of Army downsizing at U.S. bases nationwide has yet to be determined, a state that depends so heavily on military spending must anticipate and adapt to some losses, especially in the post-Inouye era.
City can't delegate park maintenance
Municipal parks can provide surrounding neighborhoods the essential amenities that nurture communities: recreation, relaxation, reconnection. They are often the oasis of open green space that gives respite to the crowding and heat of urban and suburban living.
Improve health of prison guards
When Hawaii corrections officers call in sick en masse on special events, such as Super Bowl Sunday, it tends to make news. These obvious cases of sick-leave abuse require a strong response from the Department of Public Safety, and demand cooperation from organized labor to stem unprofessional conduct by union members.
State response to Ebola scare a model for all
In the midst of an Ebola crisis that is beginning to cross continental boundaries, Hawaii got a bit of reassuring news: The islands' public health network did well handling its own test of disease-control protocols.
Build 2-way road via park for lava relief
The nature of an emergency is that nobody knows when it's going to happen. So it goes without saying that an emergency road should be available at all hours, and enable vehicles to pass in either direction.
Encourage building more rentals
The accelerated pace of constructing rentals instead of units for sale to meet affordable housing needs is a welcome response of the private sector to market demands. It's a national phenomenon, and one that government should continue to encourage and prod.
Welcome effort to decentralize DOE
The birth of a new public-education think tank in Hawaii represents the evolution of thought to action, as critics of Hawaii's centralized Department of Education have galvanized current Board of Education members, DOE administrators, principals and teachers to find out more about reforms that would invest more authority in the educators actually interacting with students and parents at the school level.
'Silver wave' about to hit shore
By now, most people likely have heard about the "silver wave" that is due to wash over Hawaii. Alternately, they are at least aware that the aging of the large baby boom generation is going to leave a huge imprint on society, not the least of which concerns its care.
Police chief needs to explain his role in family dispute
Family disputes around money and property are always messy and frequently even become explosive, and on most occasions outsiders prefer simply to look away.
Public hospitals need fixing ASAP
Even with its public hospitals system desperately fragile and ailing, the state continues on an inexplicable course that hacks away limbs and squeezes away precious life. What's sorely needed instead is an unflinching diagnosis that gets to the heart of the problem and holds up some hope for recovery.
HPD must drop culture of impunity
Honolulu Police Chief Louis Kealoha's pledge that the department he leads will become more transparent to the public it serves marks an important acknowledgment by HPD that trust and accountability go hand in hand.
New ethics law deserves to be observed now
A commendable new law that requires more transparency from members of 15 powerful state boards and commissions has been weakened, at least temporarily, by the state Ethics Commission and the Attorney General's Office.
Challenge college-rape culture
There is something seriously wrong with college culture in the United States when teenage girls leaving home for higher learning are equipped with rape whistles, knockout-drug detectors and the phone number of the nearest sexual-assault treatment centers.
Arab countries must fight ISIS
The United States' military can disrupt and degrade the army of terrorists known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. But airstrikes alone cannot destroy this enemy force, and neither would U.S. boots on the ground.
Lanai makeover includes caveat
The island of Lanai has become Hawaii's laboratory of environmental innovation, thanks to the intervention of a billionaire landowner set on engineering his vision of a sustainable future.
DLNR weak on beach camping
The need for a coordinated federal, state and city response to pressing community issues is starkly illustrated in Waikiki, where homeless people have moved to a swath of beach reportedly outside the jurisdiction of the Honolulu Police Department.
Hasten reforms at water board
The Honolulu Board of Water Supply was born as a semi-autonomous agency in 1929, ending years of being run by city government.
Create way to access 'turtle beach'
Many North Shore residents warned that barricading a parking lot across from popular Laniakea Beach was no solution to the traffic congestion and safety hazards caused by the tourists and others who flock there to see green sea turtles sunning themselves on the rural Oahu shoreline.
Accountant will explain basis for water rates
Vicki Viotti
The first thing the Board of Water Supply will need to do in the coming months is to convince the city auditor that there's a sound basis for its water rates. The second is to do far more outreach to its customers, primarily to convince them of the same thing.
Paying the water bill
Vicki Viotti
James Moncur, as a water resources researcher and economics professor at the University of Hawaii, still takes an academic interest in what's going on at the Honolulu Board of Water Supply, although now he's following things remotely. He's retired and moved to Phoenix, a desert city that has different issues with water than Oahu.
Give 'sit-lie' law chance in Waikiki first
The city has taken a critical step, if a measured one, toward addressing the problem of homelessness in Hawaii. This week Mayor Kirk Caldwell signed bills to curb encampments and undesirable behavior, with a particular focus on Waikiki.
Police should test body cameras
It's human nature: People generally behave better when they know someone is watching. That theory applies to police officers who are arresting people, and to the offenders who are being arrested -- even if the "someone" is a tiny audio and video recording device attached to an officer's collar or lapel.
UH-West Oahu needs land plan
There's nothing like the threat of losing something precious to intensify appreciation for it, and to jolt complacency into action. So it is that the University of Hawaii must sharpen its strategy to monetize two valuable land parcels near its fledgling West Oahu campus.
Put Obama library in Hawaii
The push to build a center in Honolulu honoring President Barack Obama has percolated mainly at the University of Hawaii, which is leading the bid.
More senior housing needed
As the baby-boomers have aged over the decades, they've left an outsized imprint on how society is structured and how communities are built. They took charge in the workplace, and the business world adapted to women pushing for top jobs and other trend lines.
Vacation rentals both a challenge and opportunity
The Hawaii Tourism Authority's estimate that about 26,500 houses and condominiums throughout the state are rented out to visitors on a short-term basis has major implications not only for the tourist industry, but also for elected officials aiming to craft fair taxation and zoning regulations that boost the chances of Hawaii residents being able to find and afford a place to live.
Council should back mayor's housing plan
Elected officials have talked endlessly about affordable housing. It's a plank in every political platform and a major component of every legislative agenda.
Beware of more uses, hazards on Oahu roads
Hawaii's record as a dangerous place for pedestrians continues to tarnish its national reputation. For senior residents, crossing the street is especially hazardous, according to a recent report by Smart Growth America.
Don't tolerate domestic violence
Anyone who watches the two grainy videos will be -- should be -- repulsed, and angry. The first surfaced nationally Monday, showing NFL player Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee and now-wife, then dragging her unconscious body out of an elevator.
City must improve Waipio field upkeep
The life span of too many public facilities in Hawaii is shorter than it should be, because too little commitment goes toward the upkeep of the place.
Upgrade Red Hill safety systems
The federal assessment of the fire safety hazards inherent in the Navy's Red Hill fuel storage farm does little to fill the public with confidence about the Navy's handling of the facilities over the course of many decades.
Incentives can ease physician shortage
The timing couldn't be worse. The fallout from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, at least in the short term, includes an acceleration of retirements for physicians who would rather bring their career to a close than adapt to a whole new way of doing things.
Parents should 'opt in' to revised sex-ed learning
The state Department of Education has approved what is clearly a better version of its controversial Pono Choices sex education curriculum, but the most significant improvement may be the one strengthening the parental voice in the entire discussion.
Sand Island good option for short run
The idea of providing some short-term accommodation for Oahu's homeless on state land at Sand Island deserves support, under very strict conditions.
Time to deal with eroding shores is now
The voyaging canoes Hokule'a and Hikianalia are venturing into rising waters as they bring their Malama Honua ("care for the Earth") message worldwide, meeting islanders for whom the effects of climate change are neither futuristic nor theoretical, but here and now.
Iconic site deserves better
The USS Arizona Memorial is hallowed territory. Whether viewed through a historical, metaphorical or purely pragmatic lens, it is difficult to overstate the site's significance to Hawaii, and the world.
Break the cycle of absenteeism
How many school days a student misses during the month of September can predict how often he or she will show up for classes for the entire year, and in the school years ahead. Chronic absenteeism is a downward spiral, which, left unchecked, affects whether a child develops the grit and perseverance needed to succeed in school, from preschool on through college.
Road to reform begins for DHHL
It's sad that mismanagement at the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands has been such a legacy problem in state government that basic proposals, such as those recently advanced by a state task force, have to be celebrated.
HCDA should revisit 'affordable' policy
Having decided that building affordable rental apartments makes more sense than trying to sell condominiums to people with limited incomes, the developer of the Ward Village master-planned community wants to alter construction plans at one of its sites in Kakaako.
Don't change new abuse law
The lasting negative effects on children exposed to domestic violence are well documented, and the harm they suffer extends beyond their families to the much broader society.
HECO plan falls short of transformative
Hawaiian Electric Co. last week submitted a Power Supply Improvement Plan in response to repeated orders by the state Public Utilities Commission to develop a more sustainable business model.
Proposed rule for surf breaks wasn't practical
Government regulation is one tool that can manage the shared use of a resource, but it's usually only effective if enforcement is a practical matter. That was decidedly not the case in a proposal aired by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources for Oahu spots favored by surfers.
Pesticide ruling resets debate
A federal judge's ruling against a Kauai County ordinance regulating pesticides and genetically modified crops should bring some legal clarity to the contentious debate over who gets to control GMOs in Hawaii.
'Pay as you throw' good for the 'aina
"Pay as You Throw" is not a new concept. More than 7,000 towns and cities nationwide offer financial incentives that encourage people to generate less garbage, and to recycle more of the rubbish they do produce.
ACLU election lawsuit misguided
State officials have made persuasive arguments defending decisions governing the recent primary election, and against the move by the American Civil Liberties Union to reopen voting for Puna voters affected by Tropical Storm Iselle.
Clarify spending on Hanauma Bay
Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve is one of Oahu's principal attractions for tourists and residents alike. At its peak the placid beach park, endowed with nearshore reef havens for marine life that are on view to snorkelers, drew some 3 million visitors annually.
Ban smoking before age 21
If a person makes it to age 21 without becoming a regular smoker, odds are he or she never will succumb to the expensive, addictive and deadly habit. In a state where 1,200 people a year die from tobacco use or exposure, preventing young people from smoking is a matter of public health — and an urgent matter at that.
Fight to curb out-of-control living costs
The fact that 1 in every 5 Hawaii residents depends on donated food to survive is an unmistakable sign that the price of paradise has spiraled out of control.
Albizia fight must remain eco-friendly
They've been a known problem among Hawaii ecologists and arborists for decades, but most Hawaii residents were introduced to Falcataria moluccana, commonly called albizia, with this month's destruction from Tropical Storm Iselle.

Last year my family moved into our new home and my extended family decided that we should play host to 19 people for Thanksgiving. We enthusiastically agreed before we thought about the tiny, ancient, avocado green, single wall oven that came with our new (1959) home. We couldn't fit a turkey in the oven, we scrambled, bought an electric roaster and juggled to get food on the table... I swore never again. After hours of online research, Consumer Reports,visiting showrooms, asking friends and family, etc. I decided on this wonderful double oven. Installation was a breeze (I rebuilt our cabinets specifically to the specs provided and the oven slipped right in). Once in place my wife commented on just how great it looks, really makes our kitchen look so much more up to date. So yes, very pretty, but how well does it work? I have been wonderfully impressed with these ovens,we cook almost every night and bake nearly every weekend and this double oven makes it a pleasure. The convection upper is outstanding - roasting is fantastic, everything juicy and perfectly browned. Baking is wonderful - three trays of perfect scones at once! And having the second oven is an absolute luxury - so nice to have multiple options to make sure everything hits the table at the same time. Some people have mentioned the noise - yes, there is a fan - does it make noise? Sure, but it is nothing I find annoying, we don't eat next to our oven so it never interferes. This year we hosted 24 people for Thanksgiving and I roasted a 27 LB turkey in the convection oven and it was quite simply a perfect bird - Juicy and flavorful with, perfectly browned crispy skin. and I still had room to spare for all of the sides. This oven makes gatherings a breeze.

It is a large, elegant oven. Best rated by Consumer Reports. Before we bought, we read many reviews for many brands. ALL brands seem to have numerous complaints, usually centering around the electronics. I had to have my electronic panel replaced in the first 3 months because it would not bring the oven back to temperature after the oven door was opened. The technician also recommended using the self clean cycle once to help set the gaskets to give a better door seal. The door can also look closed but not be completely sealed, so I give it a light push after closing the door. The oven tends to brown things on top more than my previous one, so I have to set the oven rack lower. In order to brown a pie crust on the bottom, I not only use the bottom rack but also have to place it on a baking stone. Another quirk in the electronics is that, sometimes, when I reset the timers(say to add another 5 minutes), it will shut off the oven instead. Simple to fix, but a nuisance. Thought this would be fixed with the new electronic panel but it wasn't. If you don't use your own oven thermometer, be aware that when the oven beeps after 10 minutes to tell you it is preheated, it is NOT. GIVE IT 25-30 minutes. Despite all the problems, it is probably as good as any double oven out there in this price range. Just be use to buy an extended warrantee.

Double oven purchase
By linda71
from Des Peres, MO, United States
Love new double ovens......very easy to operate. I made whole batch of cookies using all racks from both - so slick to be done in 15 minutes using the convection. Convection is new for me but I sure like this option.
a bit noisy for my way of thinking
By Cyd8
from Roseville, CA, United States
This was part of my new home purchase. I haven't used many of the features, but look forward to having a double oven for the Holidays. What a dream come true! I have found it to be awfully noisy though. I know that I need to read the manual in order to learn more about the features of this oven.
Great oven!
By sniperguy82
from Woodbridge, VA, United States
This oven is great. Simple to use and very stylish. The only thing I would say is that it takes awhile to preheat. It seems longer than my last oven but one thing I can be sure of is that it is accurate. If the temp says 350 that suckers on 350! I have not burnt anything in this thing. I used to adjust the temp in the oven lower than the recipe in my old oven to prevent over cooking, but this oven is accurate in temp. We took out our old analog thermometer that we used to keep in the oven to check temperature because of the ovens accuracy. Great product overall. I'll take the long wait to know that the temperature is where it is supposed to be.
Not good, but warranty claim were worst
By Eli_
from Charlotte, NC, United States
The oven came out of the box defective. I had a hard time having it repaired until it was replaced after several repairmen visits and burnt boards. The interface menu are not user-friendly; this is valid for all Whirlpool appliances.
great features
By Dee748
from ND
Upgraded from one small oven to having the double and am so excited for the holidays this year! I love convection baking/roasting, it really browns the food and seals in the juices on meat. Plus it cuts down on cooking time. I have not used the steam clean function yet but will most likely need it when I do apple pies next month.

Loud whistle when baking. No meat probe. No probe, noisy.

Follow your intuition. Be smart, be brave. Tell the truth and dont take any shit.
I love this thread, though. I just got POed over a thread about BSes taking "time off" from their families as a result of an affair. I think I reacted because I worry I haven't been the parent I should be this year. It has always seemed true to me that we react to things in others that we dislike/fear, etc about ourselves. So, this is a good reminder.
I hope your Sat is going better!
