La Taquiza in Napa?
- Melanie Wong Jul 7, 2006 07:56 AM
Since the mention linked here,
the emails are coming in on how good the Baja-style fish tacos are at La Taquiza. I'm sorry I missed it . . . let's see some posts on the board, please.
I may be half awake but I do remember stopping by in the last few months for a quick grilled fish taco to go in the midst of errands. It was fresh and tasty. There was a salsa bar and stunning paintings on the wall from a local artist. Lots of other interesting options on the menu like ceviche and seafood cocktails. Wines by the glass. That's all I can come up with pre-coffee.
I've been there twice for fish tacos only, and it is a welcome addition to Napa where we are desperate for something, anything, good and inexpensive. That said, the fish tacos can't come close to anything I've had in San Diego. They have a fried and a grilled version - I think it's all tilapia. I prefered the grilled and liked the shredded cabbage in them. They need the addition of salsa from the salsa bar. I remember a tasty smoky salsa and a pico de gallo that was pleasantly oniony. My daughter didn't like her bean and cheese burrito. They have outdoor seating - albeit in a shopping center - and from my perspective it is a nice change from my standard La Playita tacos al pastor but nothing to write home about.
re: Junie D
Agreed. Went there 2 days ago. It was fine but not Baja-quality. The sandia aqua fresca was nice; not too sweet. But two tacos and a drink for 10 bucks is going to be an occasional treat rather than an everyday thing.
We go to the Michoacan truck on Salvador 2 to 3 times a week. I like La Playita but prefer Michoacan, although both can be inconsistent. Have you tried the Jalisco truck, also on Redwood, right outside the mall in the gas station? I just noticed it and it looks promising.
re: Earl Grey
Haven't tried Michoacan in a while since I am a devotee of La Playita and live very near the truck! I will have to check it out again and try Jalisco. Re: La Playita - I think the meats and tacos overall are more consistent at the restaurant than from the truck.
re: Junie D
Just wanted to follow up in the Jalisco truck. Yuck. We've tried it three times and the burritos taste like heat and not much else. I don't mean spicy but just heat. It's a shame because we can walk from our office but it's worth the drive up to Salvador for Michoacan.
re: Earl Grey
What do you like at the Michoacan truck?
re: rworange
The al pastor is to die for and if you're getting a burrito, the chile verde is an indulgent treat with lots of crema. The carne asada is also marinated more than La Playita.
La Playita can be great as long as you avoid the burritos (75% rice)and if I lived near either the truck or restaurant, that's probably where I'd go.
These places are good, but I don't want to give the impression that Napa is a destination spot for Mexican food. I think Oakland and small pockets of the east bay would win on that count.
re: Earl Grey
Ruby Louise's favorite truck is Michoacan for the al pastor also. I've not had the pleasure yet.
When you have a chance, it would be great if you'd start a new topic about some of your favorites in Oakland and the East Bay.
Thanks for the low down, Napa-kins!
When I was at Lawler's this weekend, I noticed a taco truck in the parking lot just north of the store. Worthy?
Lawler's malfatti -
Ate at the Jalisco truck today. It is in the Union 66vstation just outside Redwood Plaza where Vallergas is. We had al pastor burritos. He asked if we wanted hot sauce and I said "lots". The burritos were good and very moist but not hot. the meat was chopped so fine it almost like ground pork which was odd at first but became really nice after a few bites.
Really good and I'd go back and see how the other things are. I'm love the other trucks but I'm a little tired of them so this is a nice change.
I didn't remember this post at the time, but I did just happen to stop by there today with a hankering for fish tacos.
Pretty expensive for fish tacos (the #1 special, which I had, is 2 fish tacos & large drink for $7.50; a la carte is $3.25) Still, you get plenty of fish (tilapia, I was told) as well as the usual assortment of cabbage, crema, cilantro etc. Everything seemed pretty fresh in quality.
The fish (I had mine California, not Baja style; still would like to try the Baja version for curiosity sake) was tender but on the salty side. The salsas weren't anything to write home about - the best to me was the mild salsa verde.
Seemed to be getting good steady business even at an off hour (around 2 pm or so); I heard from someone who knew the owner that they may be opening up on Sundays soon.
The tacos overall were pretty good, but considering the price, it's probably more along the line of a once in awhile visit if you're in the area and are dying for fish tacos.
re: josquared
Thanks for posting. Is California style defined there as grilled?
re: Melanie Wong
Sorry for not responding earlier, but anyway, yep, you nailed it. California = grilled; Baja = fried
I think comparing Taquiza to the taco trucks is not so accurate (though i love them both), they are quite different. I actually hit Taquiza a lot - and have found the food to be really good. Its not cheap by any means, the carne asada is really good..super moist, chunky and slightly smokey, their tomatillo sauce is quite nice, service is great, the room is nice, but the thing overall is that their food has a very fresh, very "clean" flavor - rice seasoned with lots of cilantro etc., No taste of lard or off flavors common with most mexican in the valley. Note, they are as of a week ago, open on sundays too. In short, I think its more of an upscale "chipolte" or "high tech burrito" than a "authentic" mexican place. But Im there at least once a week for my fix <G>
Ate there today. The special is 2 tacos and a drink, but not an agua fresca, which costs 90 cents more. The baja was ok except for the fish, which tasted to me like farmed catfish. I like the salad in a tortilla idea but the fish was very off-putting. And again the salsas are so cold, the whole thing gets cold immediately.
My friend had the horchata, which she liked but had never had before. the tamarindo was very sweet and sour but oddly lacked much tamarind flavor.
I'm in no hurry to go back.

Cooper and Coby Ratner of Great Neck are Portuguese Water Dogs. They usually occupy themselves with playing fetch, swimming, and lounging around at home. Despite their busy schedules, they always find time to help raise money for a good cause, especially if it involves a walk in the park. In 2009, they were "Top Fundraising Dogs" for the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) Paws for Parkinson's event. This year, they plan to participate in the APDA's 8th Annual Paws for Parkinson's "Howl-O-Ween Dog Walkathon", scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 24 at Marjorie R. Post Park in Massapequa. Registration starts at 11 a.m., and the walk starts at 12:30 p.m., rain or shine. Registration fee is $25 per dog, and each registrant at the event receives a T-shirt while supplies last.
The activities include a 1-mile walk, refreshments, informational tables, raffles, contests and prizes. There will also be a canine agility course, courtesy of L.I. Agility of Huntington, along with lots of giveaways from sponsors like Pet Supplies "Plus", Petco and Petland Discounts. The grand raffle prize is a Norwegian Cruise Line 7-day cruise for two, sailing from New York in an oceanview cabin, to a choice of destinations.
The Paws for Parkinson's event is generously sponsored by the Adele Smithers Parkinson's Disease Treatment Center, an innovative program for people with Parkinson's, incorporating physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy. The Smithers Center is located at the NY College of Osteopathic Medicine of NYIT in Old Westbury, where they will offer a free Parkinson's symposium in October.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that results from degeneration of cells in a region of the brain that controls movement. The primary symptoms include tremor, rigidity or stiffness, slowness of movement, and impaired balance and coordination. As the disease progresses, patients may have trouble walking, talking, or completing other simple tasks. The cause of the disease is not known and there is no cure.
The American Parkinson Disease Association was founded in 1961 to "ease the burden and find the cure" for Parkinson's Disease. The organization promotes research, outreach services, education, and public awareness of the disease.
For details, call APDA's Long Island Information & Referral Centers at 516-626-6114 or 631-862-3560, or visit website at www.liapda.org to form a team, register or donate online. Be a Virtual Dog Walker online! Everyone is invited to walk, with or without a dog.

LA Nursery and Primary School, Coker, Lagos, defeated Badore Primary School to emerge champions of the 2014 Indomie Noodles sponsored Fab-5 Football Challenge.
LA defeated Badore Primary School 4-3 on penalties at the Campos mini stadium, to win the second edition of the annual youth tournament, organised to promote education through sports.
A total of 12 teams; best two from each of the six Educational Districts in the state, competed for the trophy in the one-day five-a-side tournament.
After making mincemeat of their opponents in the preliminary rounds to the semi-final stage, both teams squared up in the keenly contested final.
With score 0-0 at full time, a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner. Onwula Meshack lost Badore's second spot kick, which ensured LA emerged champions for the first time after converting all their kicks.
Ramon Habeeb of LA was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player while Lukman Badmus of Badore and Alabi Adams of LA were first and second runner-up respectively.
The three players earned the Fab-5 scholarship award that will cover their entire secondary school education as well as guidance, counselling and mentorship programmes.
Speaking after the presentation of the trophy, Deji Tinubu, Managing Director of Sportvision and the Project Director, said, "The second edition of Fab-5 no doubt is a success but the key thing is that people would begin to understand what we are trying to do."
The Project Manager of the event, Dare Amokeodo, said the competition had come to stay because of its vision, which is to promote education through sports, harness young talents and give them the proper platform to become stars in their future endeavours.
Indomie Noodles, the main sponsors of the event, thrilled the pupils with a mouth-watering lunch plus lots of exciting gifts ranging from T-shirts to educational items.
Event partners Chi Pharmaceuticals also added spice to the occasion by providing the children with fruit juice drinks and musical entertainment.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - For the first time ever Floridians are going to be able to buy computers, tablets and even software tax-free.
The state's traditional back-to-school sales tax holiday starts at 12:01 a.m. on Friday and will last for three days.
This year state legislators expanded the holiday beyond clothes and school supplies. It now includes computers and computer-related equipment worth up to $750.
Retailers are rushing to take advantage of it. Some electronic stores plan to offer longer hours during the time period.
And the sales tax holiday isn't limited to brick-and-mortar stores. Apple, for example, is touting the fact that Floridians can go online to purchase some its products tax-free.
The tax-free holiday does not apply to cellphones or smartphones, but it does apply to keyboards, monitors and routers.

A tension headache is the most common type of headache. It feels like there is a vise squeezing your head. Caused by the contraction of muscles that cover your skull, this pain runs from one ear to the other, around the front of your head. It's often caused by stress and lack of sleep.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Massachusetts Port Authority 17-Jun-04
Department of Health and Human Services
Public Health Service
New England District
June 17, 2004
Craig Coy, CEO
Massachusetts Port Authority
One Harborside Drive
Suite 200S
East Boston, Massachusetts 02128
Dear Mr. Coy:
This letter serves as your formal notification that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified your vessel watering points located in the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal at One Black Falcon Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts, as "Provisional" for interstate carrier use.
On April 28-29, 2004 and May 5, 2004, an FDA investigator conducted an inspection of your vessel watering point. The inspection found that you have a serious deviation from the Interstate Conveyance Sanitation regulations (21 CFR 1240) issued under the authority of the Public Health Service Act. The deficiency is as follows:
- You must make provisions to prevent backflow from the vessel to the pier potable water system(s) to comply with 21 CFR 1240.86. However, the inspection revealed that none of the vessel potable watering points are equipped with backflow prevention devices.
As a result of this inspectional finding, the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal vessel watering point has been classified as "Provisional" for interstate carrier use for a period of thirty (30) days. "Provisional" classification means that watering points may continue to operate; however, significant corrections of the deficiency must be made within the designated time period. On or about that date, a re-inspection of your watering points will be conducted to assure corrections have been made and meet FDA requirements. This re-inspection will determine if your future classification will be "Approved" or "Not Approved." A "Not Approved" classification means that vessels are prohibited from using your watering points.

Modern Quilts Unlimited: Mod Blocks
It's a twin/full size, finishing at 78" x 90" (ish). It was hard to find space to photograph inside since it's been so icky out!
I've applied to a few publications, some with luck and some without, and was really grateful to get picked up by this magazine for a quilt pattern. They were very professional and a joy to work with. I also thought the staged photograph they took of the quilt looked really beautiful:
I pretty much want to steal that bed!
The color balance in the magazine made the quilt look more aqua-y than it is in real life, but I think it shows how the quilt can look more feminine depending on your color choice. Not to mention, that was the color I originally wanted to make the quilt in, so I was pretty happy to see it depicted as such, lol :).
I used a rectangular meander in a somewhat smaller scale and absolutely looooove the texture it gave the quilt. Free Spirit Fabrics provided me with some Kaffe Fasset shot cottons, and holy cow are they soft! Especially after the quilting. It's currently my favorite quilt to snuggle with at the house. I backed it in a fun crossword puzzle fabric.
So if you get a chance to buy or thumb through the winter issue of Modern Quilts Unlimited, please do so!! And be sure to check out Elizabeth's quilt in there, as well - I seriously want to steal that quilt. Plus, she took some fabulous photos of it.
Anyway, I'm so excited to have one of my first print publication patterns out!!! This was a big goal for me, and it was a bit of a pain to do all the math and digital sketches, but the results are well worth it :)

Beautiful design, and congrats on being published!
When I first saw the quilt, I was in awe. Then when I saw you were the designer, I really was amazed! The quilt is wonderful. I usually am drawn more to what I consider to be traditional quilts and this just pulled me in immediately. I'm thinking about this for my son who is in his mid 30's. Great job and congrats on being published!!!!!ReplyDelete
Congratulations. The quilt is beautifulReplyDelete
This is awesome! So glad to see what you've been up to lately, besides growing a human being and all! :)ReplyDelete

UN Secretary-General's Message for International Youth Day
A new publication from the United Nations shows that 20 per cent of the world's young people experience a mental health condition each year. The risks are especially great as they transition from childhood to adulthood. Stigma and shame often compound the problem, preventing them from seeking the support they need. For this year's observance of International Youth Day, the United Nations wants to help lift the veil that keeps young people locked in a chamber of isolation and silence.

Democracy Now! reports on the case of Georgia death row prisoner Troy Davis. Davis was convicted in 1989 of killing of off-duty white police officer, Mark MacPhail.

Davis was executed by the state of George on Sept. 21, 2011.
Troy Anthony Davis was killed by lethal injection by the state of Georgia at 11:08 p.m. EDT last night, despite widespread doubts about his guilt. The execution occurred shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to stop the execution.

As last-minute efforts are made to stay the execution of Georgia death row prisoner Troy Anthony Davis, we speak with two former death row prisoners who have since been released. Darby Tillis was freed in 1987 after new evidence emerged about his decade-old case. Fourteen years later, Tillis was pardoned based on actual innocence, making him one of the first death row prisoners to be exonerated.

Same lineup tonight for the Wild in Denver, meaning defensemen Marek Zidlicky and Mike Lundin, and forward Brad Staubitz, will be scratched. Mike Yeo said he liked the way the team played for 50 minutes against Nashville before the Predators rallied for the 5-4 victory on Tuesday.
Afternoon from the Pepsi Center, where outside is the calm before the storm. Snow is coming, so much it might keep me from getting to Dallas on time tomorrow.
Yeo clarified some remarks yesterday when he hinted captain Mikko Koivu might play against Dallas on Saturday, saying that would likely not happen.
As for tonight's game against the Avalanche: Niklas Backstrom vs. J-S Giguere tonight in goal. Backstrom is 8-2-1 in 11 games at Colorado with a .934 SV%, a 2.12 GAA and 2 shutouts. In the past seven games he is 5-1-1 with a .948 SV%, 1.75 GAA, two shutouts and has allowed one goal three times.
The Wild is 9-1-2 in the past 12 here. Not sure what its record is in games after I spilled coffee on myself walking to the rink.

Logistics services company Transplace is expanding from its trucking base into intermodal rail by merging with intermodal marketer Celtic International.
The combined companies, both owned by private equity firm CI Capital Partners, have more than $1 billion in annual sales in transportation management, technology, intermodal rail and truck brokerage.
Chicago-based Celtic will function as a stand-alone division, headed by President Richard Hyland, of Transplace, headed by CEO Tom Sanderson.
By joining forces, Transplace and Celtic will be better positioned to serve shipper customers that are shifting freight from road to rail.
Transplace has been eyeing acquisitions that add new vertical markets or freight capacity, purchasing chemical logistics company SCO Logistics in April. The Dallas-based company recently named George Abernathy president of logistics, freeing CEO Tom Sanderson to spend more time on its acquisition strategy.
"We see enormous growth opportunities in intermodal transportation as truckload capacity tightens and fuel prices remain high," said Sanderson.

Comments about BEAL Booster 9.7 mm X 70 m Golden Dry Climbing Rope:
I bought this rope primarily for ice climbing. It is 70 meters long, making longer pitches possible, it has dry treatment in the core as well as the sheath, it has very good impact force numbers which instill a bit more confidence in questionable screws. It's diameter is sufficiently small to make clipping pro with gloves on easier. It also is a very bright color. Combine this with a small diameter tagline and you've got yourself a light setup that can give you long rappels. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars? Could be slightly lighter, and there's always room for improvement with anything.

Twilight Sparkle and Trixie get into an argument about everything.
They also go on an adventure, fight monsters and save Equestria, but, you know, that's just a side point.
Has a TV Tropes mention: under Fan Fic. WHAT. EXPLODING WITH JOY NOW.
Sometimes, I mash my face against a keyboard, and stories come out. Sometimes, they're even good.
...Or rather, the lack of it.
I know I said that I'd get to writing one of my bigger projects this year, and It will happen.
Just don't be surprised if it takes a while.
Basically, what's happened is that I am now in my final year of university, and I have a large project to complete this year, and that's eating all of my spare time. You may see a few updates from time to time if I get a weekend free here and there, but on the whole, I'm going to be pretty busy. I'll try and get something out over the university breaks, but I really wouldn't hold your breath for anything.
I'll still try and keep Ponywatching updating semi-regularly, but anything more than that is going to be difficult.
ThunderTempest, signing off.
For all of you who follow my account here, or who are just generally interested in the stuff I write, I have a problem: I can't decide which of my longer fics I should work on next. I'll still be doing the thirty minute things whenever I can, because I like doing those, but I do want to get onto a longer-form story, possibly a multi-chapter one.
However, I have a problem with this. I have too many ideas, and I have learnt that I need to commit to one idea at a time, or else it's going to be bad.
So, send me a message, or whatever you want to let me know which one of the following ideas you would like to see me concentrate on.
1: Friendship.exe (pronounced Friendship dot ee ecks ee) - A dystopic future cyberpunk pony tale, starring Trixie. Multi-chapter.
2: Working Holiday- after the 200th Summer Sun Celebration since her sister's banishment, Celestia goes on holiday for a year, but not where you think. One-shot
3: Just Friends, Darn It! - in which Vinyl Scratch and Octavia try to convince the rest of Equestria they aren't in love. It goes about as well as you expect. Multi-chapter.
4: The Road To Hell - They say the road to hell is paved with the best of intentions. For Rainbow Dash, going into hell is the only way to save her friends. Only time will tell if they escape unchanged. One-shot.
Now, at some point, all of these will be written, and for some of them, large parts of them already are. This is just to find out if there's a particular one that all of you guys really want to see first.
So yeah. You can fire me off a message, reply to this or whatever if there's one of these ideas you really want to see me do.
ThunderTempest, signing off.
So, I would imagine some of you wonderful people out there who watch me have thought 'You know, ThunderTempest is kind of alright, but when is he going to stop doing 30-minute shorts, and actually do a story?'
Have no fear, then, because that first story is here!
It's called Bad Moon Rising.
It was largely written on a whim, in a total of five days from initial conception to final edit and publish. Oh yeah, and it's also been entered into Equestria Daily's Batpony Writeoff. Honestly, I'm not actually expecting it to make it even to the top ten. But I thought 'what the hay', and just did it anyway.
Hope you enjoy!
[UPDATE]: If you feel like it, you can go and vote for me over here.

dis is gud stuff.
>>39076473907647 Glad you like it!
What... just happened?
>>39076823907682 i hop dis gets featured. is gud.
Heh, the second story prompt with these two. They make such a good team.
Silly but enjoyable, with both contributing to the overall "crusade" to bring down the baddie. Neither overshadowed the other (though I'm sure Trixie would argue the point).
Good work!
>>39083343908334 Thanks for the kind words!
I'm glad that I seem to have gotten the balance between the two down.
Trixie and Twilight arguments seem to write themselves, and they do make a good team, though both of them would deny it.
This was a hilarious read from start to finish. I absolutely loved it. Both characters remained pretty well within their proper characterization, and they kept up their bickering and sniping without really giving any ground. I could easily see them keep doing stuff like this simply for fun (let's face it, Twilight relishes in having somepony to snark at without having to hold back), and Trixie would definitely want to become an alicorn solely to keep their rivalry on an even keel.
Vitriolic Best Friends, anyone?
>>39120073912007 That was what I was going for with this: that Twilight and Trixie have this weird rivalry/friendship thing going on that only they really get. I completely forgot about that trope, though. If I get a mention on the relevant TVTropes page, I will explode with joy.
I'm glad you enjoyed this story!
>>39122703912270 I hope you meant that figuratively, because...
It's funny, really, because I've thought the same thing; in one of my current projects, Twilight and her friends end up depowered while Trixie (independently) has trained herself in the hopes of matching her. Trixie then gets upset that her rival has fallen behind and demands that Twilight regains her strength so they can have a proper rivalry. Twilight gets all mopey because she thought they were friends... until Pinkie points out that for crazy ponies like Trixie, rivalry is friendship.
A most excellent story with some of the best banter I've ever read! Kudos!
And hey wasn't "Lord Umbra" the main villain from Mighty Orbots?
ps- congrats on the tv tropes mention! hopefully you don't explode and then explode again! I've heard that can happen...
>>40592624059262 I'm glad you liked it!
To be honest, I just made up the most stereotypical villain name I could think of. I have no idea if it's from anything else.
It was an obscure cartoon from the '80s. Uh-oh I think I may have just dated myself
Was looking for hilarious Trixie/Twilight banter, got all that and a comedic adventure.
I love it.
>>40851764085176 I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
The Snarky Adventures of Twilight and Trixie, that was fantastic. I would happily read more about them in this style.
I'll have to take a look at your other stories too.
>>45051264505126 I'm glad you found it enjoyable!

Weeds & Tall Grass
I own two acres with lots of trees and gardens. I weed whack every two weeks and it takes about two hours.
This is my fourth and most expensive weed whacker I have purchased. I was wiling to pay more for a unit that would last more than a couple of years.
On day one the string feed did not work. After a frustrating half hour trying to fix it myself, I gave up and returned to the store where I got it. After three technicians could not get this simple process to work, they gave me a different head free of charge.
Three months later, only the sixth time I used it, the pull cord broke. I brought it back expecting it to be coverd under warranty. Nope. They charged me and told me that stuff like that is not covered by the warranty and expect it to break again because they do not have a longer or stronger replacemnet.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Weeds & Tall Grass
I am a full time groundsman that is part of a team of four men. We work at a 28 acre cemetery in the Catskills. We use the fs-56 RC-E model six hours a day 5 day a week. 65% of this cemetery is done by hand with these trimmers. Hill sides, banks, edging and around thousands of stones. We have had the same trimmers for three years ORG M-55, model number changed but same trimmer as the 56 and they are still going strong. One person commented that they experienced feeding problems. You have to tap the head of the trimmer on a hard surface about every two minutes to release more line but one you get the Rhythm it becomes automatic. If you line gets short just tap a few times and you are good to go. If you use this model a lot like we do eventually it will start to bog down, Just clean the muffler with a wire brush or burn the carbon build up off with a torch and you are good to go. Take muffler peace out first!Trust me this is all the trimmer you will ever need and its the best trimmer I have ever used. we abuse them hard and they keep going. TRUST ME no need to spend more money!

Poor Gas Cap Design
String Breaks
Best Uses
I have owned this trimmer for over 2 years. Trims as expected but constant problem with string advance. If you don't pay attention and advance string when it shortens slightly, like every 5 minutes, the string breaks off inside the unit sand you have to take it apart to pull out string. Gas cap is a pain. To remove it you need pliers to pull it out. It will turn to open but is stuck in so tight you can's pull it open with your hand. You push in the cap and turn it to close, but it continues to leak when you turn it on the side to edge. Keep opening and closing cap and after about 3-4 attempts it will stop leaking. One day half way though use it just stopped. Shop said carburetor is bad, cost almost as much as a new trimmer to replace.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the Way You Love Me Lyrics - Tatyana Ali
Come here; I wanna tell you something.
I love it when touch with the feeling of romance.
In the middle of the dance.
I love the way you love me.
Something about the magic of your kisses in the dark.
All up in my heart.
I love the way you love me.
I love the way, baby.
Talkin' about the love you give.
Strong and yet sensitive.
You take my breath away.
I go crazy.
When you touch me tenderly.
Cuddle up next to me.
I never felt this way.
When you pull me close I just wanna cry.
Little tears of joy fall from my eyes.
I think I'm fallin'
Hopelessly in love with you.
Deeper than I wanted to.
You fill me with desire.
Hear me callin.
Hungry for another kiss.
Never tasted love like this.
You set my soul afire.
No one else can ever take your place.
You're the reason for the smile on my face.
(I) Love the way you love me. Come on baby.
x 8
I love the way...the way you love me.
x 4
All these guys keep tryin' to get next to me
But I'm not feelin' them you know what I mean?
I am lookin' 'round for no one new.
Baby, ain't no doubt..
I wanna be with you!
Refrain x 2
(I) Love the way you love me. Come on baby.

The Valley Transit Authority estimates an extra 430 daily boardings along the corridor if the Vasona Junction Station is completed in 2015 and 717 extra boardings by 2035 if the Hacienda Station and park and ride lots come to fruition. The project is estimated to cost $175 million. To read the full story, click here.
