The Complexities of Bringing Peace to Darfur
At a panel discussion on the African Union's 's peacemaking efforts in Darfur, panelist Seth Appiah-Mensah likened the actions taken by the AU to "a baby taking its first steps."
"If you look at a child when he starts the first steps, and the parent, they understand that this child is going to make mistakes," said Mr. Appiah-Mensah, former sector commander and military adviser to the head of mission, African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS). "But the parents do not just criticize or chastise—they encourage."
Mr. Appiah-Mensah also said that the AU deserves credit for having the courage to act in Darfur like "any landlord would do if your home was on fire... you do not wait for the fire brigade to come; you deal with the fire with whatever is at your disposal. And I feel that's what the AU did. Whether it was enough or not is another question, but they acted responsibly."
IPI's panel discussion "Dilemmas of Regional Peacemaking: The African Union in Darfur" provided no shortage of accounts of mistakes. Mr. Appiah-Mensah recounted "the sad day of a commander" in which he watched helplessly from a helicopter as Janjaweed militia members killed abductees whose release he was trying to negotiate. Mr. Appiah-Mensah said that the killings were initiated by a Sudanese government employee who was present during a briefing meeting.
"It was announced at the morning briefing that a helicopter would be dispatched to Kabkabiya, that's to me, to go and do this negotiation," said Mr. Appiah-Mensah. "So the government of Sudan guy who was there, he just took his phone and called in wherever we were going, that we are coming, and the abductees would be there with the SLA commander. And when we arrived, guess what happened? I was in the helicopter, watching live, the slaughtering of those guys."
"It was obvious that the government of Sudan preferred the AU because it was a more benign option due to political and other constraints," said panelist A. Sarjoh Bah. "Politically, Khartoum calculated that the AU would be less assertive, as it ran the risk of alienating some its members if it was deemed to be too assertive."
"How the AU deals with the potential for its members and the international community to hide behind it, as is currently the case in Somalia, will determine the success of its peacemaking endeavors in the future," added Dr. Bah, who is a senior fellow at NYU's Center for International Cooperation.
In response to a question from a representative from the Sudanese Mission to the UN about the role of the international community, Sam Ibok, a panelist and former leader of the AU mediation team on Darfur, said, "I think when you ask the question, what is the role of the international community, you should also ask the counter question: What is the role of the Sudanese government? What is the role of the Sudanese themselves? We cannot continuously blame others for the problems we have ourselves generated."
The panel discussion was held on March 17, 2010 and was moderated by Ambassador John Hirsch, Senior Adviser at IPI.

Armed Conflict and Schooling: Evidence from the 1994 Rwandan Genocide (pdf, 2.66MB)Richard Akresh, Damien de Walque. 2008Civil war, and genocide in particular, are among the most destructive of social phenomena, especially for children of school-going age. In Rwanda school enrollment trends suggest that the school system recovered quickly after 1994, but these numbers do not tell the full story. Two cross-sectional household surveys collected before and after the genocide are used to compare children in the same age group who were and were not exposed to the genocide - and their educational outcomes are substantially different. Children exposed to the genocide experienced a drop in educational achievement of almost one-half year of completed schooling, and are 15 percentage points less likely to complete third or fourth grade. Sustained effort is needed to reinforce educational institutions and offer a "second chance" to those youth most affected by the conflict.
Establishment of a State and Peace-Building Fund (pdf, 1.62MB)2008On July 1, 2007, to communicate greater clarity on its overlapping fragility and conflict agendas, the World Bank's conflict prevention and reconstruction unit and its fragile states unit merged into a new unit, the Fragile and Conflict-Affected Countries Group (OPCFC). At that time, management launched an assessment of the two trust funds that have been financing fragility and conflict work, the Post Conflict Fund (PCF) and the Low-Income Countries Under Stress (LICUS) Implementation Trust Fund (LICUS TF). Careful consideration of the purposes of and experiences with the two trust funds, and a series of interviews with country teams and other stakeholders, led to a recommendation for a new integrated fund, the State- and Peace-building Fund (SPF). On December 18, 2007, the PCF/LICUS Trust Fund Committee endorsed this recommendation.
Education in Sierra Leone: Present Challenges and Future Opportunities (pdf, 1.5MB)2007The purpose of this report is to provide an analysis of the education sector that enables a shared understanding among stakeholders, and thus lays a foundation for the preparation of an Education Sector Plan. With this objective in mind, the study outlines the current status of the education sector and highlights issues that policy makers need to address to move the sector forward. It also simulates a few policy scenarios and their financial implications to facilitate discussions about future feasible, affordable, and sustainable policy options. The coverage of this report -- a stock-taking exercise based on data, studies, reports, and documents available up to the 2004/05 school year -- is limited to key factors, including access, quality, equity, management, and finance, and has an emphasis on basic education.
Engaging Civil Society in Conflict-Affected States: Three African Case Studies (pdf, 440KB)2005Civil society organizations (CSOs) play a prominent role in conflict-affected and fragile states. In the absence of capable or credible public institutions due to conflict or weak policy environments, CSOs tend to substitute for public institutions and become primary providers of basic social services. At the same time, the international donor community has increased its involvement in countries affected by conflict and instability, often relying increasingly on CSOs to reach the poor. While the prominent role of CSOs in social service delivery and other development activities is often seen as an interim solution, it may extend for years, even decades. Recognizing that reliance on CSOs is likely to prevail for the foreseeable future in many countries, there is a need to consider how to make CSO engagement more effective and sustainable. The objective of this report is to identify approaches to more effectively engage CSOs in the context of weak public institutions in conflict-affected and fragile states. Key findings are presented from pilots of the Civil Society Assessment Tool (CSAT) in Angola, Guinea Bissau, and Togo. The pilots were carried out from January 2004 to February 2005.
Reshaping the Future: Education and Post Conflict Reconstruction (pdf, 1.89MB)Peter Buckland. 2005The aim of this volume is to draw international attention to the key role that education can play in both preventing conflict and in reconstructing post-conflict societies. The author also hopes to alert developing countries and donors alike to the devastating consequences of conflict on a country's education systems and outcomes, as well to emphasize the importance of maximizing the opportunities to reform education systems presented by a reconstruction setting, adopting a long-term development perspective, and emphasizing equity and quality in the delivery of education services. Every education system has the potential to exacerbate the conditions that contribute to violent conflict. Based on this notion, the author argues that education warrants high priority in both humanitarian response and post-conflict reconstruction. The central message of this book is that education plays key role in both conflict prevention and in the reconstruction of post-conflict societies. It highlights significant findings on education and post-conflict reconstruction drawn from thorough research and literature review, a survey and database of key indicators for 52 conflict-affected countries, and a review of 12 country studies.

Breaking the Conflict Trap: Civil War and Development Policy (pdf, 17MB)Paul Collier, Elliott, V. L. Elliott, Havard Hegre, Anke Hoeffler, Marta Reynal-Querol, Nicholas Sambanis. 2003Civil war conflict is a core development issue. The existence of civil war can dramatically slow a country's development process, especially in low-income countries, which are more vulnerable to civil war conflict. When development succeeds, countries become safer; when development fails, countries experience greater risk of being caught in a conflict trap. Ultimately, civil war is a failure of development. This book identifies the dire consequences that civil war has on the development process and offers three main findings: (i) civil wars have adverse ripple effects, which are often not taken into account by those determine when to start or end a war; (ii) some countries are more likely than others to experience civil war conflict and therefore the risks of civil war differ considerable according to a country's characteristics including its economic stability. Finally, this book explores viable international measures that can be taken to reduce the global incidence of civil war and propose a practical agenda for action.Also available in Spanish
Children, Education and War: Reaching Education for All (EFA) Objectives in Countries Affected by Conflict (pdf, 3.36MB)Marc Sommers. 2002Conflict's path of devastation and chaos has dramatically slowed the ability of war-torn countries to reach the Education for All (EFA) goals adopted in Dakar in April 2000. This paper sketches the situation confronting children, their families and governments in conflict countries and describes the challenges of reaching universal primary education. Far more could be done to support education in countries suffering from conflict. The most logical starting point lies in supporting emergency education where it exists and dramatically expanding access to education where it doesn't. Yet, most primary-school-age children in war-affected areas are not in school and have no realistic hope of enrolling in one. In addition, education for and efforts to engage with youths, remain limited. This creates a volatile and dangerous situation. Youth programming, when it does exist, is usually poorly supported, and may not offer much hope in terms of opening employment and income opportunities. It generally faces stiff competition from aggressive military or criminal operatives who recruit (or abduct) children and youths into their militia or gangs, promising rich and immediate rewards. More than any other circumstance, war makes the case for providing appropriate educational responses to the needs of children and youth at risk, and exposes the dangers of neglect.

ANDERSON – The injuries are already piling up in Indianapolis.
On Thursday, the Colts put starting left guard Donald Thomas on season-ending injured reserve with a torn right quad, the same diagnosis that ended his 2013 season after just two games.
The move comes one day after running back Vick Ballard had season-ending surgery to fix a torn left Achilles' tendon. And camp is barely a week old.
Donald worked extremely hard just like Vick to get back. We feel awful for Donald just like Vick, coach Chuck Pagano said after a morning walkthrough. Donald will be fine. He is a strong-minded young man and will go back to work to rehab.
But that's no consolation to the 6-foot-3, 303-pounder who was trying to come back from the torn quad and a torn bicep.
He was injured late in Wednesday's practice after he wound up in a pile on the ground.
The frustration showed immediately as Thomas slapped the ground and then limped behind a wall of teammates.
As he tried to walk off the injury, he grabbed his head with both hands and walked from the far end of the practice field all the way to the locker room.
Colts officials had hoped for the best, but a late-night MRI confirmed their worst fears – Thomas had re-torn the same quad.
By Thursday morning, Thomas was loading his belongings into his truck bed and preparing to head home from Anderson University.
He's a tough guy. He goes out there with a chip on his shoulder every day and he competes and he plays hard through the whistle, that's one thing I really admire about him, rookie Jack Mewhort said.
Like I said, it's very unfortunate just because he was having such a great camp and he's a heck of a player.
Indianapolis thought Thomas' return would help solidify an offensive line that couldn't stay healthy, struggled to open running lanes and allowed far too many hits on franchise quarterback Andrew Luck in 2013.
General manager Ryan Grigson rebuilt the line again during the offseason. He released center Samson Satele and allowed starting guard and backup center Mike McGlynn to walk away in free agency, signed former Chicago Bears guard Lance Louis and drafted Mewhort in the second round and Ulrick John in the seventh.
Now it looks as if they'll need even more help.
Mewhort, Indianapolis' first draft pick in May, is big and versatile. He started at left guard, right guard and left tackle at Ohio State where he also was a backup center.
That's where the Colts initially plugged him in during their offseason workouts and where he is now likely to compete with Louis for the starting job.
If Mewhort wins the job, the Colts would have one of the youngest interior lines in the league with Hugh Thornton and Khaled Holmes at center.
My perspective has not changed. Coming into this camp, my mindset was to compete and that's what I've been doing and that's what I intend to do my whole career in the NFL, Mewhort said.
Meanwhile, Indianapolis has three players on injured reserve – Thomas, defensive lineman Fili Moala (knee) and linebacker Aaron Morgan (shoulder) – and a fourth, Ballard, expected to join them. Indianapolis' top fullback, Stanley Havili, is on the physically unable to perform list as he recovers from shoulder surgery. Last year's leading receiver, T.Y. Hilton, missed the end of Wednesday's afternoon practice after jamming a finger on his right hand. And although running back Trent Richardson practiced in shoulder pads for the first time Wednesday, three other starters – tight end Dwayne Allen, cornerback Vontae Davis and safety LaRon Landry – sat out.
But the loss of Thomas and Ballard were the most disconcerting because each spent nearly 10 months rehabbing from last year's injuries and neither even made it to the first preseason game.
We had a plan for all those guys. Donald was one of those guys that would practice two days and be off a day, Pagano said. We're going to look at the tape and see how things happen, we know some are non-contact, look at what happened to Donald. It's unfortunate, but we are doing our due diligence and weighing every part of football.
Notes: The Colts quickly replaced Thomas, bringing back undrafted rookie Eric Pike. The offensive tackle signed on May 13 and was waived two days later. ... The Colts had their only prime-time practice Thursday.

There is a great line in the movie "Steel Magnolias" that really applied to my life this past week.
In the movie the hairdresser played by Dolly Parton is talking (gossiping) about someone and describing him as confused and frantic. She sums it up with perfect southern wisdom by saying he's so confused, "he doesn't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt."
OK, a little off color, but that's about how it felt this week as we launched our newly redesigned newspaper and a brand new content management system, aka computers and software for writing and editing stories.
Don't get me wrong, I knew there would be road bumps, hiccups and (insert your favorite term for mess ups here) as we navigated the waters of this overhaul. That comes with the territory, but it's amazing how many little tasks have to be done to get the paper layout complete when you aren't actually the person laying out the paper.
Let me explain.
As readers of this column know, The Reporter page design work is now being completed at a design center (hub) in Chico. The staff here still researches, writes and edits the stories and photographs, but the process of getting those stories and photographs onto the page and to the plateroom for printing is done in Chico with a bunch of designers who are linked to us via computer.
But to get those stories into position, with suggested headlines, on the proper page, with the proper art, requires a lot of small computer tasks — lots of click here, drag and drop there. And on top of that, the new design comes with a lot of things we didn't used to do, particularly all those skyboxes and rail items (those teaser boxes you see on the tops and bottoms of all of our section fronts). And all of those extra tasks are on top of working on two upcoming special sections.
So I was more than a little frazzled this week. I forgot to post the letters to the editor and columns to our website on Tuesday. I ran Danette Mitchell's Saturday column on Friday and Craig Cannon's Friday column on Saturday. I forgot to post the front page stories to the web on Friday. (Hey, they got there eventually). For three days in a row, I had to call in an expert to show me (again) how to upload the daily opinion comic.
And then there were the phone call and e-mails. I was pleased that not everyone felt the need to chew me out on the change. Some did.
There have been a number of complaints about the typography being too small. The real issue is that the space between the lines of copy is too tight.. We are passing those comments on to people with higher pay grades than mine. I must, however, pass on one observation about the callers. Some of you are really quite kind.
I had calls from nice folks who wanted to lodge their complaints but also took the time to tell me what they like about the paper and why they've been subscribers for so many years.
And I had some lovely conversations with people who just wanted to call in and see how we were holding up under all the changes.
Others called to tell us they liked the changes and to keep up the good work.
But then there were the cranky callers. You know who you are. For some reason any change makes these people angry and they used the redesign as an excuse to call in and complain about the comics and TV grid changes made months ago.
Some were just the type whose mind was made up without giving the new design a chance. On day one of the redesign, a caller phoned in to tell me the type was just too small to read. When I told her to give it a chance, she proclaimed that "no one over 40" could read the type. I pointed out that I was over 40 and having no problem. She hung up.
Another elderly complainer called later in the week to say the type was too small for "old people." I told him age was just a number and that we'd actually gotten compliments on the redesign. Without missing a beat, he barked "they must be young!"
I could copy that view of life, I suppose. I could complain about all the changes and work we are now tasked with as part of the redesign here in the newsroom. I could lament the long hours, lack of sleep and skipping lunch. But I refuse to be the kind of person who whines about the headaches that come with change. From my perspective, if you aren't changing, you aren't living and I want the paper to thrive.
Did we pull off the change without a hitch this week, nope. But it'll get better and in the grand scheme of life any problems we're experiencing are really just little stuff and you can't spend your life sweating the little stuff.
Then again, if you call me to complain and I just start laughing hysterically like a mad woman, don't worry. I'm just hanging on to another great Dolly Parton quote from Steel Magnolias: "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion."
The author is managing editor of The Reporter.

Introducing Uganda
Emerging from the shadows of its dark history, a new dawn of tourism has risen in Uganda, polishing a glint back into the 'pearl of Africa'. Travellers are streaming in to explore what is basically the best of everything the continent has to offer.
For a relatively small country, there's a lot that's big about the place. It's home to the tallest mountain range in Africa, the world's longest river and the continent's largest lake. And with half the remaining mountain gorillas residing here, and the Big Five to be ticked off, wildlife watching is huge.
While anti-gay sentiments have cast a shadow on the otherwise positive tourism picture, and tensions continue to simmer with the Karamojong in the northeast, Uganda remains one of the safest destinations in Africa. Other than watching out for the odd hippo at your campsite, there's no more to worry about here than in most other countries.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Home to almost half of the world's surviving mountain gorillas, the World Heritage-listed Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is one of Africa's most famous national parks. Set over 331 sq km of improbably steep mountain rainforest, the park is home to an estimated 360 gorillas: undoubtedly Uganda's biggest tourist drawcard.
Rwenzori National Park
The legendary, mist-covered Rwenzori Mountains are presumed to be the Mountains of the Moon, described in AD 350 by Ptolemy, who proclaimed them the source of the Nile River. Because of both its beauty and biodiversity, Unesco named the Rwenzoris a World Heritage Site.
Kibale Forest National Park
Kibale is a lush tropical rainforest, believed to have the highest density of primates in Africa. This 795-sq-km national park is home to 13 primate species, including the rare red colobus and L'Hoest's monkey. The stars of the show are the chimpanzees, three groups of which have been habituated to human contact.
Famous as the source of the Nile River, Jinja has emerged as the adrenaline capital of East Africa. Here you can get your fix of white-water rafting, kayaking, quad biking, mountain biking, horseback riding and bungee jumping. The town has a lush location and is the major market centre for eastern Uganda. It's a buzzing little place with much Indian-influenced architecture.

I've checked the boards and have tried several things in Little Neck (La Baraka was disgusting; Greek Seafood Grill place was fine but overpriced -$40- fish for one-; Korean in Shopping center near Dunkin Donuts Very Good/Great Service; Turkish on Northern - Good but standard)
Liked Oliver Bon Didant on Hillside Ave, but it was a little too dainty; been back several times to Riverbay (Williston Park) - solid fresh fish/love the waitstaff - professionals all. Pan Asian in Great Neck Plaza mall was pretty good, but uncomfortably packed....Mexican on Grace Ave - BLECH.
Please, help. I need an epiphany...I need excitement....I need an omigd moment or two......Anything? Delivery? a great Persian Grocery? Solid Weeknight fare? Fine(ish) dining that isn't as lame as Burton & Doyle, which seemed like a TGI Friday's on an expense account...
I've been through the boards....been to Luger, Umbertos, New Teryaki house on Jericho....we're trying here!
Great Neck, New Hyde Park, Floral Park, Manhasset, .....Please, what's under the radar? Where's the best slice? Eggplant parm? Fish Taco? Anything good? Why can't I find Thai food!?? What's up?
Thanks for your help. We are bored and hungry.
Definitely Ravaugh (Persian) and CHicken Kebab (Turkish-greek styled stuff) on WIllis Ave are very good. And they put a new outpost for Colbeh on WIllis ave---Persian Kosher..Both very popular places, always crowded..also, Attilio's has good pizza, and exceptional eggplant ricotta pizza...
A few suggestions in your radius: King Umberto's in Elmont for pizza, Stressa in Manhasset for high end Northen Italian. As for Thai food, if you want the best head into Queens. Sorry to say nothing on the Island comes close. Sripraphai in Woodside and Chao Thai in Elmhurst are two of the best.
re: dereklaw
Hi dereklaw,
You have every right to disagree. That's what's so wonderful about this board. Just curious, have you been to either of the places I suggested?
If you have and feel Onzon 2 is just as good, I will make it a must to try.
If you were not wowed by Lugers then I don't think anything in the area will impress you. If you think La Baraka is disgusting and enjoyed Riverbay, then we have very different taste, but in the spirit of helping a fellow hound get a good meal I have a few suggestions. Conti's in Little Neck is my favorite local Italian.If not Lugers(I can't believe I just wrote that) try Bryant and Cooper. Head over to the area of Lakeville Road and Union Turnpike/Hillside for Indian food, Kerala Kitchen is a very unique place. Afghan Kebabb House on Hillside(over near Marcus Ave) is very good. Try Hildebrands for the an old fashioned soda fountain experience,but stick to burgers,sandwiches and the homemade ice cream and fountain drinks. Bistro Limon in Roslyn is solid french in a nice looking restaurant.
Sadly, this is not a very chowish area. In fact, tonite I brought home Thai from Srip and yesterday Q from Texas Ranger. I do most of my chowing in nearby Queens, the center of the food universe. You will not have an "epiphany", but good luck and if we missed anything let us know.
re: stuartlafonda
Oh. Your reply made me realize how much I seemed to be ranting...sorry....and, sorry for not being more clear. I am consistently wowed by Luger (been to GN, but usually go to Williamsburg), and it's still a special event. BTW, went recently w/ a friend who is a well-done-meat-eater, and so I had the lamb chops-YUM.
I mentioned Umbertos, Luger, and the Teryaki House as examples of places that I've enjoyed....and to make clear that although I don't post often, I do eat often :)....and that we've been trying to explore/not just post for help without doing any legwork. In fact, please know that I appreciate your opinion; it's clear that you care about your food. Thanks.
More for clairty: I've enjoyed Riverbay, for the quality of the fish and the professional service. It's not exciting, but sometimes a really fresh piece of fish does the trick.
In fairness, I was to LaBaraka only once. Unfortunately, the escargot were mushy/mealy, the muscles were actually foul-'never should have been served foul', and the fish in the Coquielle St. Jacques was over the hill. Almost every dish was overrun with tarragon. I was particularly upset, because I was trying to introduce some classic French food to a kid. She picked at a salty rendition of French Onion soup, and I thought about that and the Zuchini sticks of my own youth (at the Wine Gallery in Forest Hills. Heh.)
So, with all of that said, thanks again. We'll definitely try Kerala kitchen. I have not heard/not been there yet!
P.S. Went to Ayhan's fish place in Port Washington for dinner last night. Tasty baked clams and bulghar...Good grilled squid too...unfortunately the broiled fish combo was seasoned with an unwelcomed season salt kind of spice mix and cooked in fake butter substitute....why, why, why? ;) More soon.....
re: Wanda_Gorgonzola
A big second to Conte's in Little Neck!
re: Wanda_Gorgonzola
I had no problem with your post, if I did, I would not have tried to help. A few more ideas have come to mind. You should try L.L. Dent for upscale soul food. It is located in a shopping strip mall across from the old country road entrance to Roosevelt Field. Leisa Dent a CIA graduate does very good versions of the traditional stuff like fried chicken ,mac and cheese and banana pudding and does a full menu of other things with a southern touch. Place is small, but comfortable and simply decorated. They do a Sunday brunch that has a good selection at a good price. Sunday brunch is not easy to find in the area. Although I have not been there in a year, Lareira is a Portugese restaurant in Mineola in a small and rapidly shrinking Portugese enclave. Another interesting place is Royal Tangra Masala for Indian/Chinese food on Hillside east of Marcus avenue. It is not quite as good as the Tangra place in Queens off Queens Blvd, but it is solid. If you are interested in razor thin crust pizza, get a pitcher of beer and a large pie from Eddie's on Hillside.If you just want a good slice, try La Vera across the street from Eddie's. A few days ago a a couple of hounds hounds gave rave reviws to Hummus World by Roslyn H.S., it is near the top of my list of local places to try. Finally, if you are a gyro fan, head over to Northern and Francis Lewis for a meal at Fontana,a personal and board favorite. If pork gyro is your thing, Fontana does not do it, but a few blocks west on Northern is Gyroworld and they make the one I like, others on the board prefer the one up Francis Lewis, at a place called Gyro Corner. Once again, good luck in your quest for great food.
re: stuartlafonda
Thanks, man.
Funnily enough, we went to LL Dent for lunch yesterday. Nice place. Good feel. Great corn bread (moist). Mac and cheese was, dare I say, light! So good, not a gloppy mess at all. Lerved the greens! Made w/ smoked turkey and xtra twangy goodness. I took a pass on the pulled pork, but I'm looking forward to going back for dinner.
Thanks again and to all of the respondents....please keep the info coming, and I promise to report back.
P.S. Ginos Pizza in Great Neck...Odered Delivery (didn't like the pizza - crust too pastry like) sent a really solid eggplant parm hero though....would get it again....thin, not greasy and sauced appropriately....really very good.
You have to go to Salvatore's in Port Washington. They have great thin crust coal oven pizza. Besito in Roslyn is great higher end mexican, steps up from a meson ole type menu.
I posted previously that the restaurant at Harbor Links has some really great food. Their Thai calmari is exceptional. I have alos had their Aji Amarillo glazed shrimp and it was impressive. La Terranova in Glen Cove used to be a great low key Italian place. Good quality Southern Italian. I havent been there in 3 months, so I cant comment on recent experiences.
Just a couple extra tips close by in Little Neck: There is a shopping strip right off the LIE westbound exit 32. In the strip is a Denny's Childrenswear and Mazurs kosher market and restaurant. Well, in that strip mall there is a really, really, really good pizza place - Centre I believe it's called that also has tables in the back. I've often seen people eating meals there but its extremely - and I say that with great emphasis - casual. They have daily specials and while I can't vouch for the pastas and entrees, the pizzas - all varieties we have had, are excellent.
Also in that same strip mall about two stores away from the pizza place is a very good bagel place, one of the few that actually is still a great bargain in addition to having great bagels which is more and more of a rarity these days- buy a dozen bagels and it gets you 19 - they give you seven free.
Oh, and not far from there - up the road in Douglaston is a fantastic Italian Restaurant called Il Tuscano. Authentic, fresh, creative and...very expensive but wonderful.
re: laylag
ive been a fan of center pizza little neck and umbertos since the late 1960's
Italian near Great Neck: Italian in this area should be a lay-up but it isn't. I'm in Manhasset (next door to Great Neck) but I find I have to drive a bit to my favorites in the area - here they are for now: Stella's on Jericho Tpk in Floral Park - total throw back to the 70s in terms of decor, but the Stella salad, Chicken Romano, and Pork Chops with hot peppers are to die for. La Parma directly across from River Bay was the precursor to Carmine's in the city. Large plates of food - family style - ask the waiters for guidance. Chopped salad beats the La Parma salad in my view. Baked clams, penne marinara, and pork chops pasquale are winners. So is the chicken scarp. I never get to River Bay, because if I'm over there, we're at La Parma. Just don't go at 7PM - no resos and you'll have to wait. In Manhasset, try Cafe Continental - a bit clubby, but the owner and waiters are great once you're a regular and the food is solid. Haven't really found any good Italian in Great Neck but I'm sure there must be some. Believe it or not, I like Pancho's for mexican there. One other place worth trying nearby you is Vespa on Northern Blvd. And Aunt Bella's on Marathon Pkwy is a tiny hole in the wall with old-style italian food (try this one later in the list.) One more in the miracle mile in Manhasset - Il Cippolini - new york feel, good thin crust - hit or miss on the pasta dishes - my wife likes the risotto specials. That's it for now. Anybody else out there please chime it - we're bored and desparate too!
re: donnyp
Best Italian in Great Neck, now that Pulcinella is no longer around, it would be Mangia Bene!
re: Tresjolie9
We just got back from Magia Bene (thanks to others for answering my query below!). They were running some kind of pasta night featuring a few pasta dishes, and I ordered the gnocchi, which was quite possibly the worst dish I can remember having at an Italian restaurant ever. Size of gyoza, consistency of licorice, covered w/ about an inch of meat sauce and then apparently baked. I got about two bites in and gave up. The dish weighed at least 2 lbs. I would have sent it back but seeing as we were the only people in the place, I just didn't want to deal with whatever would ensue. Green salad was ok. Bill ran $65 for two w/ drinks and tip. Won't return anytime soon, but may not be able to if that was any indication of the road ahead for them.
We had a decent dinner at Wild Ginger the other night - ordered "Thai style crabcakes", chicken sambal and crispy snapper entree. Beautiful presentation on everything, fresh meat and veggies, but despite selecting "hot" spice level for the sambal, it was actually more sweet, almost like sweet-and-sour chicken. It's billed as 'fusion' which I guess explains the zucchini in a sambal. However, I was told the chefs were Chinese, and come to think of it, if I'd been bilndfolded, I'm not sure I could have distinguished this from a very good Chinese take-out - everything was sort of Hoisen-sauced, if that makes sense. That said, we enjoyed the good quality of the food, strong drinks and excellent service, and will return.
Ok, back to L.A...
I live in Great Neck (past 16 years), but I have young kids, so take this with a grain of salt, since we don't get to explore as much as we would like.
One of our usual favorites are Pancho's (not great Mexican by any chance, but consistent) -- their skirt steak is excellent, and they have really good salsa. They also make a good burger, but stay away from the ribs.
For Asian, I really like Wild Ginger (in the shopping center by Waldbaum's). It's a bit fancy, but the quality of the food is superior to most other Chinese places in town. Pearl East (on Northern Blvd. across from Macy's) is the best of the rest, imho.
Also in the Waldbaum's shopping center, I like Starfish Too. I've only eaten there once, but I'll definitely go back.
I agree that there is no good Thai, nor is there any good Indian. I haven't tried the new Thai place by the movie theater, but it is the latest in a long succession of mediocre places, although the previous iteration (O'Zone) was a pretty good Thai-French hybrid, but it didn't make it.
I like Gino's pizza, and agree with the eggplant parm (especially with hot cherry peppers), but you have to like the thick soft crust. Their eggplant slice and salad slice are both very good.
The Seven Seas diner (Northern Blvd. and S. Middle Neck Rd.) is great -- salads, burgers, and the usual diner fare. I usually avoid other diners because of how much I like this one.
Nothing remarkable for Italian, and I haven't yet found one of the kosher places I would go to unless I had to because of kosher relatives.
Hope this helps. I'm also curious to hear what everyone else has to say.
Rialto in Carle Place on Westbury Ave is an old fashioned Italian place with great food and service. I'm also a big fan of Conti's. Trattoria Lucia has good food, but is too noisy for my taste. The Japanese place on Covert, about two blocks south of the train crossing (can't remember the name) is my favorite Japanese in the hood lately. I second the votes for Tangra Masala on Hillside. On Mineola Blvd, south of Jericho is A Taste of Portugal and a few blocks further down is Boulevard Ste. Germain, both of which we have enjoyed.
re: Scribbler
Never heard of Boulevard Ste. Germain, anthing you can tell us about the place? There is such a lack of Bistro style French in the area that I'm intrigued.
re: Scribbler
Can you tell me more about the Japanese on Covert? I pass it often and was wondering if it was "worthy." Do they have a good selection of creative rolls? Also, how is their cooked food selection. My husband doesn't do raw.
I'm assuming you've found the sushi to be very fresh, or you wouldn't be recommending it.
Thanks in advance.
It's Bistro Saint Germain. Same owners and almost exactly the same menu as Bistro Citron in Roslyn and Bistro Cassis in Huntington. I've eaten at all three a number of times and like Bistro St. Germain the best out of those three. It's also reasonably priced for Long Island.
The very best bakery in your area, and indeed on Long Island IMHO, is "Diane's" in Roslyn (under the Roslyn Viaduct). Try it on a Saturday morning or Sunday morning for best selection (make sure to include a piece of the hungarian cheesecake! with your order!). For the last word in bagels, try the bagel store on Middle Neck Road, across from The Food Emporium, and ask for hot bagels from the back of the store (just out of the oven). I'm not impressed with the pizza in Great Neck, but would suggest the coal-oven, thin crusted pizza from Grimaldi's in Garden City (on Franklin Avenue)..although extra oregano and/or garlic is needed to give the bland tomato sauce some life. For dim sum, "Northern Manor" on Northern Blvd in Little Neck, is good on a Saturday or Sunday, late-morning. Hope these are helpful.
There are also some good places in Eastern Queens! Marbella on Northern Boulevard is nice for casual Spanish food, don't forget the Sangria.
Harvest Buffet on Northern Boulevard is a lot more than a simple chinese buffet, they have some pretty interesting Korean and Chinese dishes that I have only seen in Flushing and Chinatown.
Greek Isles on Northern in Little Neck has always impressed me, always go when I have a gyro craving, but end up ordering something else. Last time I had what was essentially pot roast, with a twist of lemon.
The diners around also tend to be fairly impressive. Love the "turkey chopped steak," special at Seven Seas. Scobee does an excellent turkey burger.
re: Tresjolie9
I agree with the above post about Marbella, though I have not been there for a while. If willing to try eastern Queens, also consider Altadonna on the LIE south service road, I believe just east of Marathon Parkway, for Italian. Owner/chef does a fantastic job with some authentic Italian country dishes you won't find on the typical Long Island "red sauce Italian" menu. Red sauce Italian does have it's place though, and Stella's (on Jericho Turnpike in Floral Park) is definitely the place to go for it. And last but not least, Donovan's in Bayside still has the best burger in the area, better than anything I've found in Nassau County anyhow (have never tried Luger's burger though).
Hi...Masala Wok in Hicksville is truly amazing. They serve Indo-Chinese Hakka-style food and the quality of their shrimp (off the top of my head, I adore their coriander-garlic shrimp) and chicken are of such high quality (everything is Halal to my knowledge) that I drive out from Fairfield Co. CT weekly to indulge in spices, textures and flavors that I still dream about since moving to CT from Oyster Bay a year ago. They are not open Mondays, and close at 3pm, then reopen at 5:30 for dinner. I could go on and on about so many dishes! Just hop on the LIE get off at Hicksville exit, it is close to the train station. Yum...
re: schnarf
We moved to Manhasset over ten years ago and still head to Astoria when we want a good Greek meal. Don't waste your time or money on Mykonos on Plandone Rd. In Little Neck, however, just east of the Scoobie diner on Northern Blvd., I can sincerely recommend Greek Isles. In fact, I need to make reservations there for tomorrow as soon as I'm done here. When you want a really good Italian dinner, Stressa does a great job. It is on Northern Blvd near Barnes and Nobles. It is a little pricey but worth it. We have used that for special occasions. For a good Chinese dinner we go to Peart East, opposite Macy's. I saw that you mentioned RiverBay. RiverBay, Bryant and Cooper, as well as Cipollini and the brand new Toku, (the latter two are at the Americana Mall), are all owned by the same family. I believe there are four brothers. They are Greek and they do an excellent job at all of them. My son and FIL just went to Toku for their anniversary and loved it. I have been to Cipollini only for lunch. You have lots of choices. Don't settle for the mediocre ones.
I still have not been to Ethos in Great Neck. I'll be back to read your responses more thoroughly. Someone may have some feedback on that.
re: LIMary
Ethos is the best local Greek, far better then Greek Isles. The meze platter is terrific and the fish, though expensive, is also excellent. They still don't have a beer/wine liscence so you can bring your own or buy a bottle from the store around the corner from the restaurant.
re: stuartlafonda
I was there for dinner on March 14th and brought a bottle of wine - my friend went the following Friday and they had just received their liquor license that Tuesday! By the by, had a delicious whole grilled orata.
Here's my 2 cents worth:
Port Washington:
Italian: La Piccola Liguria (excellent!)
Pizza: Salvatore's Coal Oven Pizza
Korean/Vietnamese: Mama's Delight
Japanese: Yamaguchi or Rock N' Saki
Japanese (Manhasset) Kotobuki
Japanese (Sea Cliff): Sea Cliff Coffee & Sushi Co.
Mexican (Manahasset): Besito
Mexican Take-out (Roslyn): Green Cactus (best fish taco!!!)
Chinese: Shanghai Pavillion
Diner: Seven Seas (i totally agree with Lloyd on that one overall, though i do like the spannakopita at the Port Washington Diner on Main St.)
Weather Permitting: Bad Bob's BBQ (pretty good fried clams!)
Bakery: Diane's in Roslyn, or Baked to Perfection in PW
Ice Cream: Emack & Bolio's in Manhasset
If i think of more, i'll add it later.
re: monalisawoman
How about Toku? And, you should be able to pick one of the steak restaurants up there.
Excellent grilled fish:Ayhan's Fish Kabob.
The original Diane's Restaurant in Roslyn is great too.
If you get to know the sushi chefs at Hokkaido in Roslyn Heights you can have some of the best sushi around.
re: monalisawoman
What is Bad Bob's BBQ and where is it?
re: debmom
I have not been to Bad Bobs but Harbor Q was good enough to satisfy a Q craving when I want Q with the family and don't want to drive into the City.
re: debmom
Bad Bob's is in Manorhaven, but they are also opening on Main Street. The Manorhaven location is right on the dock at the Capri Marina, and it's a great place to go in the summer. You'll feel like you're on vacation! I can't speak for the meat, but the fired clams are plump & juicy, and the sweet potatoe fries are delicious.
I seem to consistently have divergent opinions from some of the regular posters, but here is my two cents anyway -
Pizza - Joe's on Marathon Pkwy in Little Neck (just South of the LIE)
Turkish - Kebab House on Northern Blvd.
Chinese - Harvest Buffet is surprisingly good, but if you don't feel like the self-serve aspect, Pearl East is a good solid 1960s Chinese restaurant
Bagels - Bagelman in what is now the HMart shopping center on Great Neck Rd at Northern Blvd. Their Egg Everything and Pumpernickel are both outstanding.
Trattoria Diane on Bryant Ave in Roslyn for a good solid meal
Restaurants that everyone else likes, and I won't go back to -
Ethos on Middle Neck Rd - snooty, bad service, and the food tasted nothing like the wonderful stuff I had all over Greece
Wild Ginger in Waldbaum's shopping center - I cannot deal with a restaurant that is unwilling to make substitutions. Too full of themselves. I asked for the Tuna to be served with a vegetable or salad instead of the delicious noodles (not on the diet of the moment) - Oh no, we cannot do that. Well, then, I cannot patronize a place that does not value its customers.
Tulip by the Post Office - was served mixed frozen vegetables. And when I ordered a fruit plate for dessert, I was served a sliced apple.
Seven Seas Diner - terrible. And unsanitary. Have gotten wadded up napkin in my tuna fish scoop, cigarette butt in my salad. Why would I go back?
re: Bigbird
I don't really disagree with you other then on the restaurant Ethos. I don't doubt your service was bad but my experience on the ree occasions I have dined there was very different. The last time I went was with my two kids and they could not have been more accomodating. First, they honored our request for a banquet and then brought my younger childs main with our meze plate as requested. This was on a busy Friday night at prime time. As far as the food not being anything like the food you ate in Greece, all I can say is that I also have spent time in Greece and while I don't dispute your opinion I don't know where you can find authentic Greek food. I have eaten at most of the places in Astoria and other then the small place by the park none of the others would qualify as serving authentic Greek cuisine. I think of Ethos in the same way I think of Lupa, not an authentic Roman Trattoria but a New York take on one.
re: stuartlafonda
Il Tuscano.in Little Neck would be a really good choice
re: Bigbird
My mother-in-law used to have an expression, "that's why they make chocolate and vanilla ice-cream." I happen to really like Wild Ginger, mainly because I have yet to find a restaurant in the area that has their variety of Asian inspired dishes at a reasonable price. If I were on a diet where I couldn't eat their food, either I would choose somewhere else, or pick something else on their menu, it certainly is big enough.
My son loves Harvest, and it might be good as one of the buffet-type restaurants, but certainly not anything to write home about. East on route 110, although not in the Great Neck vacinity, is far superior.
re: robinsilver
I'm with you on the Wild Ginger issue, in fact the first post I ever wrote on chowhound after a year of "lurking" was in defense of the place. I still go there a couple of times a year.
re: stuartlafonda
I'll chime in as well in support of Wild Ginger. I agree, though, that it's ridiculous when a restaurant won't make a simple substitution, and I've certainly refused to go back to restaurants that offend me in some way. Still, I think Wild Ginger is the best of the bunch of the "new" Chinese/Asian restaurants around (Matsuya and Elaine's being the other Great Neck examples).
I'm disappointed to hear abou the Seven Seas, although I've heard other people say that they don't find it to be the cleanest or best diner around. Maybe I've been lucky, but I usually find the food satisfying (I still think they have the best burger -- not counting Lugers -- around), and I've always thought it was quite clean.
I also think Ethos is very good, and certainly a little better than Santorini (which I really like for atmosphere) or Greek Isles.
And Bagelman rocks! If only H-Mart would finally open.
re: LloydG
I was one of the first people to rave about Ethos. We went last Sat. night for the third and final time. First, they stuck us in the back room behind a table of 30 which was having a party and next to another party of 10. I asked to be moved and they offered us the bar to which I replied, "we'll wait for a table". We promptly were shown to a new table. It was very noisy, even noisier that Mim's which caters to families with kids. There are never kids at Ethos on Sat. night and usually a little quieter. My husband and I could barely have a conversation. And to add insult to injury, our waiter was the worst. He was running back and forth all night and because there were groups larger than us we were more or less ignored the whole night. He brought my husband the wrong appetizer and by the time he brought a new one I had finished my salad. The second bread basket (which we asked for twice) came charred. I can't eat onions or garlic and told the waiter exactly this before I ordered. My side order of string beans was loaded with onions and was returned for the lemon potatoes. When the bill came we had a $50 gift cert. from restaurant.com and they looked annoyed. My husband noted they had overcharged us for our two glasses of wine so they quickly deducted $5 from the bill. Next they said the credit charge machine wasn't working so they wrote out our AMEX number on a piece of paper with the total due. My husband added a tip and we left w/o any sort of receipt -- but I did remember the total amount. When I checked my AMEX statement, sure enough they overcharged us. And as we speak the amount is in dispute. So based on our experience I will not only never go back (even on a less crowded night) but stick to my favorite restaurants in Astoria -- Cavo, Agnanti, Mezzo Mezzo, Philoxenia and Demetrios and L'Incontro for Italian. I'm equidistant so I'm now convinced there is nothing great east of Queens.
Good news on the sushi front. We finally tried Kotobuki in Roslyn last night and it certainly was worth the 28 rating Zagat gave it. You have to go well before 7 PM as it's a mob scene and they don't take reservations. We only waited 15 minutes and had some of the freshest sushi and most creative looking appetizers. I assumed it was like Toku in Manhasset and a fortune but very reasonably priced. My second runner up is Blue Fin in Great Neck (f/k/a Saku, and before that Oyama).
re: debster
Toku in Manhasset is Yummy with a capital "Y"
Wondering if anyone has anything more to add/update on this thread. We're visiting (from L.A.) with in-laws in Great Neck. Been to Gino's for pizza, Zutto for sort of Japanese-ish Asian, Seven Seas diner, Bruce's bakery, the bagel store across from the small, now-closed supermarket on Middle Neck Rd., walked to tiny Willie's coffee shop, and at least one totally forgettable Italian place that I passed twice today and still forgot the name of (Rustica?).
Gino's was pretty great, the cheese slice being extremely cheesy (but in a very good way) and the crust light; my meatball sub had what I guess are called cherry peppers, which maybe are a Northeast thing? Unexpected and probably an acquired taste, just not by me. But really nice staff. The meatballs were obviously freshly-made (not like the frozen/rubbery ones in 90% of L.A. pizza joints, so awesome.
Zutto was a lot like other "Japanese-meets-Chinese" places you don't find on the West Coast, but totally serviceable (though the buttery Central American-style rice w/ Birds-eye veggies was sort of a jolt). Seven Seas was a good diner, but I can barely tell them apart.
Bruce's had great mini-hamantashen which I am going to eat another one of as soon as I finish this post, and the bagel place was as good as any I've been to in these parts.
And finally, Willie's was a surprise in that they serve black beans and plantains with breakfast plates; not the best ever, but good to break up the diner fare.
What am I missing if I don't want to drag everyone to Queens? Ethos looks interesting. Is there really (still) no good Italian??
re: cant talk...eating
Drag them to Queens, it is so close. If you must stay I think Ethos is the best restaurant in town. Check out Toku on Northern Blvd for a "good ripoff" of places like Nobu and China Grill. Try the empanada's at the little bakery next to Willie's where a Peruvian baker makes kosher desserts.Go to Pearl on Northern for the kind of good old school chinese american food you may not be able to find on the west coast.
re: cant talk...eating
The thing about Great Neck people is that they don't want to leave Great Neck, but then when a restaurant like Starfish opens, they don't go often enough to keep it open, but love to go to places like Daruma for sushi, just because they don't want to leave GN. If you go over the boarder into Little Neck on Northern Blvd, there are a number of good places, and it is just as close to you as anyplace else on the island. I know the OP said LaBaraka was disgusting, but I disagree. Also, the original Colbeh is in GN, right by the rr station, great for Persian food.
re: robinsilver
The sushi restaurant f/k/a Saku, f/k/a Oyama now known as Blue Fin is delicious and a block north of Daruma. Everyone runs to Daruma which in my opinion is mediocre at best, it's just been in GN the longest. We've tried Kotobuki in Roslyn twice (28 in Zagat) and is fab. Their appetizers and rolls can't be beat, you just have to know when to go. Sunday nights in the Summer seems to be the least crowded; Sat. night after 6:30 there's a long wait. If you want to go more for more upscale Japanese food, try Nissen Sushi in Woodbury.
re: debster
I second Blue Fin. It's the best sushi in town, and the owner (Alex) is a really nice guy. I like Wild Ginger, but I agree with I can't talk...eating that it is essentially Chinese takeout style but with high quality ingredients. If you like Chinese takeout, it's great, but it doesn't hold a candle to any of the Queens Asian restaurants. Ethos is good as well.
By the way, where is Willie's? I've lived in Great Neck for 17 years and I've never heard of it, but black beans and plantains for breakfast is a must.
re: LloydG
Willie's is 809 Middleneck, east side of Middleneck just north of the intersection of Middleneck and Steamboat. It must have been a candy store soda fountain place years ago as it is small and narrow with a formica counter running the lenghth of the place. I 'm not a big fan of beans and plaintains for breakfast so I was unimpressed the one time I ate the "Caribbean Breakfast". My wife, a non chowhound, loves the pollo guisado but I find most of the spanish menu pretty pedestrian.
re: LloydG
Went to Wild Ginger years ago. I agree it was very good but to avoid a long wait you have to go at 6 PM on Saturdays. Really don't want to dine so early. I have heard that Toku is very good but the portions are very small and it is very pricey. It's probably the former Millie's crowd. I don't need to be at the latest "see and be seen" trendy restaurant either. And in respose to Stuart's comment about China Grill, just so you know, it has gone very downhill this past year. Maybe because of the soaring food prices in general. Went two months ago and as crowded as it used to be that's how empty it is now. On a Wed. at 8:30 PM it should have been packed. The quality of the food presently is average at best. I work across the street and it was always my favorite Asian fusion restaurant in Manhattan. Baang in Woodbury Commons has the same exact menu and great mango martinis.
Love Fratelli Iavarone Cafe. 1534 Union Tpke. New Hyde Park. It is in shopping center between Lakeville Road and New Hyde park Road. While I am not a fan of creamy sauces their Carbonara is my favorite pasta dish anywhere. The veggie Napoleon is a creative appetizer. Fresh fish, seafood, Veal. I do not recommend the eggplant parm or the pizza. Pizza in front, restaurant in the rear. Next door to Iavarone italian specialty store. This is a true oasis for good Italian in a hard to find good stuff neighborhood.
Just back from another week in Great Neck, and some good eats to report.
Tulip - Turkish food just east of the train station. Went on a Friday night and it was practically deserted. Sort of an odd layout, w/ part of the restaurant a largish bar/lounge and the other a rather elegant dining room. The lounge featured a big plasma TV and a fellow in a track suit and a Bluetooth rolling calls in Turkish and pacing. But foodwise, really good stuff. Ordered the grilled whole striped bass which was flawlessly done, just sweet succulent fish as it always should be. We also ordered 'manti' - tiny dumplings with lamb in a yogurt sauce, sort of amazing. I guess I've stumbled onto a dish that plenty of people know and crave but which may not turn up too often in L.A. where we live? We started w/ 'zucchini pancakes' which were surprisingly light and latke-like, tasted freshly-made. Service was fine, prices a bit high but these guys are trying to survive like everyone else I imagine.
Next up was Mint, a Thai restaurant next door to the movie theater on the main strip through town. Like 100 different SoCal Thai restaurants with some sort of fusion-y specials (why do Thai restaurants put salmon on the menu??). Anyway, they were totally overwhelmed service-wise with only four tables filled; the waiter (also the cook?) coming back confirm our order three different times (and still brought the wrong salad, alas). Prices about double what you'd really want to pay ($23 duck curry? Uh-uh!). I think my pad see ew was $16. But, no liquor license, so still kinda reasonable in the end.
Foodwise it was fresh and tasty. The tom yum soup had hand-cut veggies and was obviously made from scratch. Panang chicken curry had all white meat, and a lightly-sauced, almost a dry-curry style. Nothing memorable, but good eats. Just don't have to run off to a movie - you might not make it!
Oh yeah - finally found something edible at Manga Bene - veal marsala. Not bad at all.

Anyone with TOM issues? Is it from WOE? Ladies only
Hi All!
I am having my first TOM since starting MWL (in wk 7, at that time in life where TOM comes and goes). It is really rough - very painful and VERY heavy. Stayed home Monday, but I finally called the dr yesterday.
(Sorry for the history, but it plays a part)
Gyno blamed everything on fast weight loss and thyroid. I have hoshimotos and am on synthroid. But I have had thyroid issues for the past 36 years - and have no other symptoms of thyroid changes. They did a blood test and told me to take ibeprofin (can't do hormones of any kind to stop the bleeding, pulmonary embolism in the past). Scheduled a ultrasound for Friday and followup visit next Tuesday. (She also tried to lecture that I wasn't getting enough calories)
I wasn't happy with the 'go home and wait' response - didn't indicate if there was a concern, what if it gets worse, etc. Called my regular DO (who I really like) and they sent me for an ultrasound yesterday. Told me to keep feet up today.
Concern also because I had major pain issues last year that they were never able to diagnose. 4 ultrasounds and exploratory surgery (dr thought endo but none found)
Has anyone else had major TOM issues? Possible that it is from WOE?
Thanks for reading my looooong post! (and yes, going to find a new gyno)
I'm on BCP, and on my 3rd day on the diet (1st day in ketosis, coincidence?) I started a week early, and it lasted 2 days longer than normal. Then I started again 2 weeks after that for another 7 days.
I called my GYN because I was concerned whether my BCP were still protecting me, and she said it's normal when you have such a drastic change in diet and to just keep on my pill schedule and it should straightened itself out. Now I've totally gone without for 6 weeks.
I've done a lot of Googling, though, and I've read a lot of women seem to have similar issues as you are when they start a low-carb diet.
I hope it straightens itself out for you soon and that it's nothing more serious!
Really not an issue but next week will be my first week on Medi during that TOM. I have noticed this week that I am spotting some, so I'm glad to know it's just not me. Phew! Thanks for posting!!
I am in my sixth week of the diet and when I had my first TOM on the plan, it lasted a whole month! My gyno said the same thing about the weight loss.

AP Golf Writer
ATLANTA (AP) -- Tiger Woods knew he was ready to turn pro when he shot a 66 at age 20 in the second round of the 1996 British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He closed with a pair of 70s and tied for 22nd, his best finish as an amateur in 14 professional events. His father referred to it as his "coming out party."
Woods won the U.S. Amateur for the third straight time a month later, turned pro and was on his way.
For Jordan Spieth, his moment of realization came at the U.S. Open when he was 18.
His amateur career was nowhere nearly as decorated as Woods, though the Texan experienced early on what it was like to play deep into Sunday afternoon at the Byron Nelson Championship as a 16-year-old.
Spieth made the cut on the number at The Olympic Club last summer. He closed with rounds of 69-70, a 36-hole weekend score topped only by winner Webb Simpson. He was low amateur at the U.S. Open, tied for 21st at 7-over 287.
"So being able to play the weekend of a major championship under par -- at a U.S. Open under par -- I think is when I sat back said, 'You know, maybe I'm ready to go,'" he said.
Spieth went back to Texas for the fall semester, turned pro and was on his way.
"I actually announced pretty much to my family and coach that I was turning pro that summer," Spieth said. "Then I just turned after the fall season."
Neither of them had PGA Tour status when they turned pro.
Spieth started on the Web.com Tour, got his break when he tied for second in the Puerto Rico Open, and had enough money to secure his card five months into the season. Then he won the John Deere Classic to earn instant membership.
Woods needed only five starts to get his first win, in a playoff over Davis Love III, and then won again at Disney to qualify for the Tour Championship.
One difference?
Woods didn't play in the Presidents Cup. The matches were held in 1996 the same week as the Quad City Open (now the John Deere Classic). Woods had the 54-hole lead, and the national golf writers left the Presidents Cup to cover his final round. Ed Fiori wound up winning.
For Woods, it was one of the few times he thought about money.
"After having the lead there and playing that poorly, I could have (had) my card right there," he said. "If I won the final round, I would have had a two-year exemption. I didn't have to worry about it luckily because I won the Masters, and the Masters is a 10-year exemption."
FINISHING STRONG: David Toms was resigned to using a one-time career money exemption to keep his PGA Tour card for 2013-14. In 13 events, he missed the cut six times and four other times didn't crack the top 50. It would have been even worse except for that tie for 13th in the Masters.
The last three tournaments changed everything.
He shot a 69 in the final round of the Reno-Tahoe Open (eight points in Stableford scoring) to tie for 16th. He closed with a 67 at Oak Hill and finished alone in seventh. And at the Wyndham Championship, he had a 62 in the final round to tie for 16th.
Toms didn't make the FedEx Cup. That 62 moved him up to No. 123 on the PGA Tour money list, allowing him full status for next year. Toms turns 47 in January.
LEFTY'S SCHEDULE: Phil Mickelson will have played 24 times by the end of the year, not including the Presidents Cup, and he's looking to cut back.
"As I look back on this year, I had some great highs and I had some lows," he said. "I think that I don't play at my highest level every single week. I have kind of ups and downs, and I'm a very emotional player. I think that I'm going to have to factor that into some of my scheduling and maybe cut out 25 percent of my events in an effort to play at a high level when I do play. Because I'm not able to do it 25 weeks a year.
"Maybe I can do it 18 or 20, though."
Mickelson played five straight weeks to start the year. He won the Phoenix Open in his third event, the only time he finished in the top 20. His back-to-back wins in Scotland were part of a three-week stretch that began when he missed the cut at The Greenbrier.

|High School Senior Awarded "Invest in Success" Scholarship from Manhattanville College
On Wednesday, February 26, the Centers for Academic Success awarded Jennifer Darden from Eastport South Manor Junior-Senior High School, the "Invest in Success" scholarship.
"My Dad always told me, 'Reach for the moon. Even if you miss the stars will always catch you.' He wanted me to never give up," she said during the ceremony held in the West Room of Reid Hall.
Alumna Christie-Belle Garcia '07 was the keynote speaker at the ceremony and advised Darden and the other high school seniors at the event to become experts in an area that interests them. "You must become an expert. An expert might do things the untrained eye cannot see; everyone is an expert at something," Garcia said encouraging the students.
The Invest in Success scholarship program was established in 2000 to promote higher education among under represented students through educational outreach and financial assistance. The scholarship is awarded to a graduating high school senior who demonstrates academic commitment and leadership potential. The scholarship covers full tuition, room, and board for eight academic semesters provided the student maintains a minimum 3.0 grade point average, completes 30 hours in Duchesne Center programs per semester, and remains in good social and academic standing.
To be eligible for the scholarship you must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or foreign student with valid immigration status, a high school senior with a cumulative GPA of 3.0, and plan on being a full-time undergraduate student at Manhattanville College.

Yanka is the nicest and most natural girl. I always wait for pictures of her. Please don't put shoes on her feet any more.
, Poland, Posted
Subtle aureole
A woman on a pedestal? Hum? This raises many issues to a reflective, 21st century man, particularly when the woman is nude. Yanka is not an inaccessible centerfold, but she is very much above average. So Petter puts her up a bit higher then we might expect, highlights her breasts after the first few photos, and asks us to "deal with it". There is no other prop or set here, she has to carry the composition by herself. This is a tough, maybe unfair challenge for Yanka, but, interestingly, her breasts' aureole emerge as the subtle but distinctive drivers of her eroticism, and the highlight of her essay that carrier her through. The photo series rarely gives us a straight on shot of Yanka's breasts let alone her pubis (although on page three there seems to be a few shots where she is saying, "here is my vagina, hope you are satisfied, now enough of that, back to my breasts"). But by then you notice, the aureole are a bit larger then most women with this size breasts (and her breasts ARE a nice size). But these aureole are not some over-the-top pancakes; the distinctiveness is slight, but after the whole series of photos it is hard to miss. In the end you notice this—and you long for her. But she is only there for the photographer. In the final shot she looks straight out, with only one breast clearly exposed, and seems to say. "Take a look. Satisfied?" Well, no, I'm not.

Yanka very pretty model and good photos
Yanka is a very pretty model. Photogrophies of her show her beauty. She's very natural. That is a natural beauty.

Very good pictures
You really can tell the difference if you look closely between the 4000 megapx versus 6000 megapx. At first, I thought I was not going to expect 6000 megapx because it only had 4000 megapx. Then the 6000 px came the following day, and you really surprised me. I love all the 6000 megapx. Yanka was beautiful from the past 3000 megapx, but I did not know I can see that close now.

A very nice gallery. Yanka is exquisite. I like the movement in the first three photos and how, despite that, the images remain crystal clear. Great stuff!

The first of 77 foundations has been installed at Borkum Riffgrund 1 in Germany represententing 277 MW when complete.
Photo: DONG Energy
With the beginning of the year 2014 the construction work continued at the offshore wind farm Borkum Riffgrund 1 in the German North Sea, after installation of the offshore substation in the summer 2013.
Around 37 km from the North of the island of Borkum, the first monopile foundation was installed on
Tuesday January 21st.
The Pacific Orca, one of the world's largest installation vessels, carried out the first four foundations and transition pieces to the construction area. The monopiles have a diameter of around 6 meter and a weight of up to 750 tons and were transported to the construction site by the 161 meter long vessel.
The ideal composition of the soil in the North Sea and the relatively calm weather in January ensured a rapid installation process in the water depth of around 30 meters.
"We had ideal weather conditions during the installation process. Calm sea and a low wind are perfect for the construction work", mentioned Andreas Elkjaer, Project Foundations Manager at Borkum Riffgrund 1.
During the installation of the monopiles a special noise mitigation screen is used to keep the noise level as low as possible. This double walled system with an internal bubble curtain, that was designed and manufactured for Borkum Riffgrund 1, ensures that the noise at the construction site is kept as low as necessary.
Map: DONG Energy
Upon fully operation the 277 MW Borkum Riffgrund 1 will produce green power for approximately 285,000 households in Germany. The wind farm will become fully operational in 2015 and will be operated and maintained from the Lower Saxony harbour Norddeich in Germany.
DONG Energy is currently building Gode Wind 1 + 2 in Germany as well as West of Duddon Sands and Westermost Rough in the UK. These projects have a total capacity of approximately 1,181 megawatt. When constructed, these projects will bring the total constructed capacity up to approximately 3,500 megawatt. DONG Energy has a target to construct 6,500 megawatt by the end of 2020.
DONG Energy is one of the leading energy groups in Northern Europe. Our business is based on procuring, producing, distributing and trading in energy and related products in Northern Europe.

I've made a few changes, substituting some things for what I've had on hand, but it turns out absolutely delicious either way. It can be served with mashed potato or rice, it's very versatile. I like to have a fair bit of sauce to work with, so I don't reduce it as much as suggested.
