By now I'm sure I didn't get a job this year. Right now, the only remaining possibility is if the negotiation with the person they offered the job to falls through unexpectedly. That happens once in a while, but not often at all. While everyone would feel bad in such a situation, I feel particularly bad because I tried so hard. I was sick during the long, arduous interview trips (the interview in my field lasts for days, and I am basically constantly talking, constantly being observed), but I was so good. I tried and tried even though I felt not so good.
So I have to spend another year in this toxic place. Fortunately the College is dismantling my department, so yay!!!! The good thing is that I can be more removed from my department.
I am a little frustrated by the slowness of the reimbursement checks. They should add up to about $1,000. So what's holding up the money?? That's why I'm not updating my ticker.
I can't help but look at my upcoming expenditures. My dental costs are adding up. I fear I'll reach the annual maximum soon, and after that I'll pay to pay every cent. I still have one more crown to get. At least I have a supernice dentist. I'm going to get an MRI for my shoulder. I hope I won't have to get surgery. If so, I guess I'll reach the annual maximum, after which I won't have to pay. I have some trips (both professional and personal). I feel like I should crunch some numbers to get a sense of how big of a setback I'll have this year.
I also have to get my mind in the right place to finish writing my book. I'll need it to get a job next year.

Thanks for the update, PB. I was thinking of you last week.
The only thing I can really add is that for myself, working a 12 step program has not just saved my life, it has given me a life. The word 'alcohol' in Step 1 can be replaced with anything.
Anwyho, I could go on and on, but I won't. Point being, I understand the premise of therapy not only costing money, but not being of much help.
Whether you belive in a Higher Power, or not, your experiences, good and bad, all serve a purpose. There are no mistakes.

I am not looking for career advice, and I'm not asking for help with my career. Because my profession is so specialized, people who are not in it often do not understand it, and as a consequence the advice they give is generally inapplicable. For those who tried to help, I thank you for your enthusiasm, and for the good intentions you've shown. The spirit of your generosity will remind me there is always light even in the darkest storm.
@Freeatlast, thanks for the kind offer. The kind of job I want doesn't come by making inquiries, but I am touched that you'd lend a hand to a virtual stranger.
@Dee: My plan for the next n years is tied to my career. If I stay in the academic track, it looks like: get tenured, get promoted to full professor, then (and this is where I differ from most academics) I'd want to move into administration, which pays a lot more. But this is really long term. From now to full professorship, I'm probably looking at 15 years. The "short term" financial goal is simply to get out of debt & be able to afford a lifestyle that won't make my colleagues embarrassed. (Currently, some of my colleagues refuse to come visit me because my place is too shabby.)
I'm not sure what you mean by my "unique style of communication." I do like sharing my life here, partly because normally we can't talk about the financial dimension of our lives with friends. So my fellow debtors here understand it was stressful for me to go on these interviews and getting only partial reimbursed. (I finally got a check. Now waiting for the other one.) I can share the financial worries about my medical situation -- whereas most people I know pretty much expect to be able to afford any medical service they need.
However, my life doesn't always go well, and I like being able to share that, too. That doesn't mean it's always raining where I am. It's just that this is a place where we can share our financial worries, and our financial worries are often tied to other worries. It's harder to share the sunny days on this forum, because they typically don't have much to do with money… and not always "family-friendly."
@Karen: I don't have a family. That's one of the attractions of this group: I get to see what families do. (Apparently they shop at Costco a lot. I'll have to keep that in mind for future reference.)
Thanks for your practical questions. For 2013, I'd like to be able to pay off $7,000 -- or the amount I was able to pay off last year until the debt started climbing back up again. In fact, I've been working with the same monthly budget as last year -- that means paying off $583 every month. However, it's kind of hard to view this as a plan knowing that medical costs and travel costs will cut deeply into my payment progress. Medical care may very well eat up three thousand dollars. Dental costs fall under a different insurance plan, and I'm afraid I may be staring at some big numbers (two or three thousand).
I have budgeted for one personal trip, as I did last year. But I feel I need more than one. You know, a part of this is a good sign -- I'm feeling physically healthy enough to endure the rigors of travel. In fact, I feel well enough that I want to do it.
@Serenity: I went ahead with my MRI. I actually have good insurance (compared to most people). It just wasn't as good as it used to be three years ago. I have a deductible, but the employer will cover that. After that I pay a percentage of all costs until I reach the annual maximum out-of-pocket amount. After that all treatments are free. So I guess if I get shoulder surgery, I'll just see about those boob implants I've always been so fascinated by. j/k
@Kelly: I'm actually OK with the idea of teaching at "lesser" institutions, though it sounds like your well-placed siblings may not be. For example, I'm willing to consider community colleges -- except they won't consider me. I just want a better balance in life: living in a livable place, able to do the things I want, being able to have a life with a partner and possibly a family.
If I have kids, I think I'll be OK even if they don't end up going to the same schools that I went to. They are not for everyone. But I guess DW will have a say, whoever she will be. At one point I was thinking about marrying someone with the same educational background. Suddenly it became "obvious" that our kids would just have to go to our alma mater. Since then I've seen colleagues who felt such pressure for their kids -- mom & dad went to Yale, so junior had to go to Yale, too.
A number of you seem to think I need therapy. I'm very reflective, very self-aware. There is very little therapy can do for me. As one therapist said to me, "Human beings aren't meant to do well in your situation. Talking about it won't help. The only real solution is to leave. In the mean time, you can do meds if you want."
The sad thing with "retreat centers, spiritual directors, and therapists" is that they all want money from me. What I want is something that doesn't involve money changing hands. I want someone to care about me without having to pay for it. I want to care about someone without having to pay for it. Scratch that -- I discovered around here I can't even pay for that. There is no positive community here for me, and the one community I have is my toxic work environment.
|Tue, 03-12-2013 - 2:53pm
Well, you know I have family in higher education (3 out of 5 of us), so I believe you. And nothing against community colleges or other methods of higher education, but my siblings would have dropped dead rather than change from the large universities with massive research budgets that they worked at to some other place where research is "meh." Don't even get me started on the standards my older two kids have for themselves WRT their own college educations.
I agree with others that friends are a balm to the soul. I also feel strongly that there are other balms to the soul, such as retreat centers and spiritual directors and therapists - all of which depend on your inclination. Mental health is *more* important than physical health, so I say, avail yourself of whatever brings peace and joy to your soul, not fleeting happiness. It gives you a better perspective on everything else, including your physical health.
|Mon, 03-11-2013 - 6:10pm
Friendship is so important!
Only you know how urgent the medical issues really are. And if you are anything like me, you don't even want to go in and get dinged with another co-pay unless it is absolutely necessary.
I don't know if this even applies to your sitution, but I was pretty honest regarding my situation with some of my doctors about my $1,000 deductible. Yea, it can take forever to pay things off, but it has allowed me some to get some things done that I was tempted to forego because of money.
Anywho, you are a smart guy. Point being there may be a way to do both. It will slow down your debt repayment plan, but you can't put a price on sanity.
|Mon, 03-11-2013 - 9:11am
Hey PB!
I was wondering if Serenity meant a mom and dad by family?
I hope it works out next year to apply for a job. Perhaps it would work for your particular budget to put a line in there for travel costs, and one for personal travel as well?
Dental issues are terrible. I hate cars and teeth. They seem to really throw a wrench in things. I was hoping you could put off the shoulder thing until you get that resolved, make a little head way on the debt then worry about the shoulder.
Do you make a yearly goal for debt repayment? Even a little a month? I know it is hard with the extra costs right now. Even a little helps for your spirit.
|Sun, 03-10-2013 - 1:29pm
I think it is sad that Americans have to choose between their health and other things. Healthcare coverage should cover you...
If you miss your friends and need to see them for your mental health, then it is a question of physical vs mental health. I see that as an easy question.
Now for the tough love part. I know you are capable of reading the tone of genuine care that I put into this...but!
Do you have a plan for the next 2 years? For the next 5 years? Do you have your financial goals clearly outlined?
Often you will say, "I'm okay with not worrying about it." If you let the current take you where it may, you will end up down river...that is only okay if you want to be down river! You seem to end up in places/environment/situations that maybe you would not want to be in. Time to start steering this boat! You are the captain of your destiny! (please excuse the cheesiness and just pair it with a nice red wine)
If I were your friend, and this is why I don't have friends I would feel compelled to help you. I know you are going to reply that you are not asking for my help and you don't need my help...but as the others have proven, your unique style of communication reaches out to us. People jump on here and want to offer you career advice because of this. We "hear" something there that envokes the need to nurture. Please excuse us as we are women
Use as a resource and start taking control. We are here and more than happy to help.

Hi Poorboy
I tried to private message you three times but it didnt work.. Anyway.. I read your post and I am t hinking if you want I do know a few professors and other folks in Academia here in New York ..
If you want and its up to you and I dont mind I could ask them if they know of any positions anywhere. There are a few of them I know on facebook also...
I am just an Ivillage member but feel for you as I read your posts.. You said you want to live in Northeast so NY is Northeast right? (lol)
hey; let me know okay.. doesnt hurt to ask..
PM me as It didnt work for me but might work for you....
|Sat, 03-09-2013 - 7:11am
You explained the jobs and academics part so I won't even go there other then to say, I hope next year works out better.
Personally, given all you have posted, I think spending the money to be near people you love would be worth it. Even if you can only see one friend. I'm taking an unpaid week off at the end of this month and taking my little one to go see my family and my friends back "home" because I'm getting borderline depressed here with my husbands continuous deployments. If you need the mental break, you need it. As long as taking the trip won't cause more mental anguish and worry than it will relive, you sound like you need the break.
|Fri, 03-08-2013 - 10:18pm
Yes, I can use my expertise for something else. I can teach online classes, I can teach prep schools. Sure, these are all good suggestions. But I don't need to consider these options right now. As you are aware from your BIL's experience, it takes a while to get an academic position. I have no reason to hurry, because I will have my current job for another year. In the meanwhile, I can think about these options for when I go on the market next year.
As for the hiring cycle, I know it's very hard to believe. I've spent many years explaining how this works to my friends and family, and like you, they don't believe me. I actually know my profession quite well. I have been on both sides of the fence for more than 10 years, so I know how it works.
Are there positions that interview "out of season"? Yes, but they either tend to be undesirable jobs, or they tend to be in disciplines that hire clinical professors. I think community colleges may work that way as well, but Marie can speak to it with more authority. I know little about community colleges, and I have no chance at getting a community college job. That brings me to answer another one of your questions. I'm looking primarily for first-tier positions or for positions in large cities in the northeast or in California. My profile is such that I'm competitive only for competitive jobs, but that doesn't mean those jobs are any less competitive.
I think I'm OK with not getting a job this year, since I still have a job next year. It was just a gruelling experience, and thanks to everyone here for the support and the hugs! I like getting female sympathy. I'm more worried about the upcoming expenditures. I struggle between feeling like perhaps I can put off the dental care or the shoulder MRI, and knowing that early treatment is the best route. Maybe my crown can last another year. Maybe I can just put up with the shoulder pain. I mean, it's not bad or anything. At the same time, I am afraid that if I put things off, I'll end up in a worse situation. I'm surely not the only one who feels like he/she has to gamble on his/her health.
I also would like to take some trips to see friends, and I think you guys can help me with this. Again, I feel like I'm calculating the worth of friendship. I need to spend an x amount of money for the trips. Is that worth it to see some friends I love? With health I have a good excuse, but with friendship it's a really big struggle. How do you decide?

What sounded like a traditional boat-race song filled the HAM radio centre at the Kerala State Science and Technology Museum (KSSTM) here, sending a group of 13-year-olds into fits of laughter. After the crackly rendition, the students introduced themselves to those at the other end of the airwaves, located in Idukki district.
The group of students who attended the session at the KSSTM were members of the Kerala State Bharat Scouts and Guides. Saturday's exercise here was, in fact, part of a global event called 'Jamboree on the Air' that celebrates communication using amateur (ham) radio.
Young scouts were being given the lessons in order to equip them to liaise with people and police in times of distress.
Anjana, a student of the city's Holy Angels' school, said she was thoroughly entertained by the classes that sought to keep alive an enthusiasm for communication via radio.
She is also considering applying for a licence to be part of an amateur radio network that is apparently thriving in the country.
It is probably the one hobby that requires a government licence to practice. In India, even though administrative processes tend to take time, there are around 15,000 licence-holders and 6,000 active users, according to members of the Radio Amateur Society of Ananthapuri (RASA). This is a collective of radio users in the city who teamed up the KSSTM and the Scouts' organisation to demonstrate the equipment to students from various city schools.
Since the ham centre was set up at the museum in 2008, classes are being taken every Thursday and Friday evenings to coach prospective users to take the examination to qualify for the Amateur Station Operator's Certificate. This is held by the Wireless and Planning Cell under the Union Ministry of Communications. "This examination tests applicants' knowledge level in basic electronics theory and awareness on how to receive and send Morse code," said D. Joseph, who conducts training here.
This is the second time that the State is hosting Jamboree on the Air and there are 15 stations set up across the State as part of the event.
There is a charm held by this communication system that has been largely displaced by the advent of the mobile phone, say RASA members. "For one, a community of users who belong to different professional backgrounds are brought together by our common fascination for radio communication. You learn, you discuss, and you get or send help without worrying about disturbance," said Reji, who works at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre.
Its application in terms of disaster management has even prompted authorities in countries such as Japan and Indonesia — which suffered communication blackouts in the wake of calamities — to ease the licensing process, he added. The failure of telephone lines during natural disasters highlights the efficiency of hams. Users will be able to connect and ensure that aid is sent to the right locations in a timely manner.

Recovery Disks or Recovery Partition
Hi everybody!
I have HP Desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium.
When I was using Vista there was a difference between using recovery partition on the hard drive to restore Windows and Recovery disks that you create yourself.
The Recovery Partition one would only restore your computer to it's shipping condition - meaning that if I had partitioned the drive and had Windows partition separately from my other files it will erase all of it and get rid of that new partition of mine along with all my files.
If I used the disks - it will give me an option of shipping condition OR just to reinstall Windows partition of my drive so all other files are not erased.
In Windows 7 the created disks give me only one choice - Factory System Reset. Does it mean that it will erase it ALL or just the Windows partition?
I really don't want to back up 300GB of my data... just need the Windows partition erased and reinstalled. Will Recovery Disks do that or is there any other option for doing it with Windows 7?
|My System Specs
|09 Sep 2010
Win7 x 6 PC's
I would not run the Recovery Disks without backing up data. It doesn't sound like they will let you choose where to install Win7.
You can always borrow or locate a clean retail copy of your version Win7 to clean install with Product Key on your COA sticker on machine. Many tech enthusiasts do this to avoid the bloatware and useless factory utilities. Let us know if you want more information on this.
You can also make your own Win7 Backup image saved externally so you never have to reinstall or recover again, just reimage from the saved file. Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup
|My System Specs
|09 Sep 2010
If the data is that important to you, it should be backed up regardless....especially before performing any major operations.
|My System Specs
|09 Sep 2010
I understand that backing up data is a must.
But all I wanted to know was - IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECOVER JUST SYSTEM PARTITION OF MY DRIVE LIKE IT WAS POSSIBLE IN VISTA? (considering that I partitioned it myself)
|My System Specs
|09 Sep 2010
Yelling at the people trying to help you isn't going to work out too well. If you do plan to recover just the system partition, you will still lose any data stored on there, and any apps that are installed, that aren't included, will need to be reinstalled as well. That's what happens when you overwrite a partition, going by your choice of words.
If you are actually referring to an in-place installation, that just lays down a new install of Windows overtop of what's already there, then your data would be preserved. That's why gregrocker gave the explanation of ditching their restore methods, and creating a clean image.
Neither way is the best way to proceed, regardless of what answer you want to hear. The factory system reset is what most,if not all OEMs use as their restore method. It means your data, apps, settings, config, etc are all lost.
|My System Specs
|09 Sep 2010
1. I WAS NOT YELLING AT ANYBODY. I was emphasizing my question to make it clear. If capitalizing is taken as yelling in computer world - I certainly didn't know about it.
2. I DO KNOW that restoring Windows partition is going to erase everything on it including applications and my files etc. and it needs to be reinstalled.
But I wasn't asking about it. That's why I emphasized - because it didn't seem I made myself clear.
I don't care if I loose files on Windows partition, I never keep anything too important there other then the OS . I do care however about my other partition being formatted and erased in the process.
I reinstall Windows quite often (about once every 5-6 months) for different unrelated reasons so if I need ot back up my whole computer to do it it seems like a waist of time that's why I was happily using Vista's option of restoring just the System partition. I would love to be able to know how to do that under Windows 7. I wasn't trying to offend anybody neither I needed a lecture. Just the answer if there is one.
|My System Specs
|09 Sep 2010
Typing in all caps is pretty much internationally considered as yelling in electronic communications. So much so, that is was written into my company's employee handbook, under employee ettiquite in 2007. At first I didn't think you were being serious when you said you didn't know about it...I thought you were joking. Apparently not. Yikes.
If you are absolutely concerned about not losing data on a second partition (discussions about back ups aside), then I would follow gregrocker's advice and get a plain, standard Windows 7 disc, so you have full control over the reinstall. Without going through one of your current restoration procedures, we can't be sure how it handles other partitions....but given that it uses the term factory reset, I would assume it would wipe the entire disk.
The only other option would be to use a driving imaging program, either the built-in one or something like Macrium Reflect, and capture an image of your system volume. Then, you could restore that at will, and leave your existing data partition untouched.

By David Henry

Germany has finally found a friend on the other side of the Atlantic: Time columnist Fareed Zakaria.

The country has endured months of hostility in the U.S. media for its refusal to budge on its austerity program while Greek newspapers ran images of Chancellor Angela Merkel in a Nazi uniform. In his most recent column, however, Zakaria suggests that the euro area's laggards should tip their hats to Europe's largest economy for agreeing to bankroll the bailouts for as long as it has.

Germany's contribution to the European Financial Stability Facility, when combined with earlier funds and loans, "will easily exceed the country's annual federal tax revenues," Zakaria writes. "Imagine the U.S. being willing to guarantee more than $2 trillion to bail out Mexico." The North American Free Trade Agreement clearly wouldn't evoke that much solidarity from U.S. taxpayers.

Zakaria isn't entirely alone in his sympathy for German fiscal discipline. The Wall Street Journal has offered similar views in recent months. But the timing of Zakaria's comments couldn't be better as Greeks prepare for their second attempt to elect a government on June 17. The result will determine whether Greece keeps the euro.

The Maastricht Treaty of 1992, which built on almost four decades of convergence initiatives, limited budget deficits to 3 percent of gross domestic product and restricted government debt to 60 percent of GDP. The Lisbon Treaty of 2007 included the now-famous "no bailout" clause (Article 125) for signatories to the agreement. Both documents are now effectively meaningless.

But does solving the euro crisis mean doing the opposite of what these agreements originally intended? This is what Germany's detractors would suggest: bailouts in perpetuity (through fiscal transfers) and increased government spending (bigger deficits and debt/GDP ratios).

The euro project was never supposed to be about a free lunch for any of its members. Germany may be the beneficiary of the experiment so far, but that's only because the peripheral countries have opted to remain uncompetitive by refusing to make the necessary structural reforms -- which Germany did under Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. As David Brooks writes, human nature has shown that "if we get the chance, most of us will try to get something for nothing." Greece could be the poster child for this motto.

A mixture of austerity and growth is the only solution if the euro area is to remain intact. Recidivist nations can't expect to retain fiscal sovereignty if they want repeated bailouts. A European Finance Ministry could serve as a type of fiscal purgatory for repeat offenders, which could regain sovereignty after their budgets are back within limits. Countries that don't violate the limits would never have to give up power over their own budgets. The incentive to maintain sovereignty beats moral hazard any day.

"Life without Germany will mean a lot more austerity than life with Germany," Zakaria writes. Greek voters would do well to consider this when they go to the polls next month.

shioyaki using dried fish?
has anyone ever heard of this? i was served a grilled salted fish (whole, about 5" long) at a japanese inn that was so soft, you could eat the whole thing, head to tail. my mother suggested the fish might have started out dried. i've heard of chinese salted fish, but is this ever grilled? thanks!!
There's a very nice chain of izakaya in Tokyo called Himonoya that specializes in all kinds of grilled dried fish (aka "himono").
I think you are talking about Smelt or Shishamo as steamer has suggested. They look like sardines don't they. They are very popular in izakayas. I bought some at the store last week 4 for 100 yen ($1). Grilled 'em. Yum!
I live in Japan BTW.
thanks for all the suggestions -- i actually bought shishamo and various himono (including aji) and grilled them. though tasty, they did not quite replicate the experience in japan, which i realize now could only have been a whole, fresh fish -- out of this world. i guess that's why we go to japan to eat!

|Official: Saunders will be back to coach Pistons
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 04 June 2007 15:50
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Pistons haven't made an announcement about Saunders' future, said bringing the coach back for a third season is part of Detroit's retooling plan.
Though many believe the Pistons could make significant changes this offseason and some have suggested a fourth coach in six years for the franchise, Saunders said he ``absolutely'' expects to return.
``That's never been a question,'' Saunders said Monday in a telephone interview with the AP.
Earlier in the day, the Pistons cleaned out their lockers at the team's practice facility in Auburn Hills and met briefly, two days after Cleveland eliminated them in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.
``It's still disappointing to all of us the way the season ended,'' Saunders said. ``We had some success during the process of the season, but we didn't get to our goal of winning a championship.''
Richard Hamilton and Chris Webber were the only no-shows at the gathering that was not mandatory. A message seeking comment was left with Hamilton and an e-mail seeking comment was sent to Webber.
Saunders' future ultimately will be decided by Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars, who has declined to comment since the season ended Saturday night.
The Pistons have lost in the conference finals as a top-seeded team in two years under Saunders after Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown led them to the NBA title in 2004 and just short of a repeat the next year. Rick Carlisle helped a bad team become good, but was fired after leading Detroit to the 2003 conference finals.
Less than a day after Detroit finalized terms of Brown's $7 million severance package two years ago - with three seasons and about $18 million left on his contract - Saunders was hired with a four-year deal worth up to $26 million.
``We've had two chances these last two years to win a championship, and fell short. Flip got some unwelcome criticism for that,'' point guard Chauncey Billups said. ``I don't think it was all his fault. Players not playing that great, had a lot to do with it. Like I said, could he have made some different decisions and been a little better? Probably so. Could I have? Probably so. Could a lot of other players? Probably so.
``We'll have to see what's going to happen.''
Billups will be one of the NBA's top free agents next month, and he reiterated his desire to continue his career in Detroit.
``My first interest is the Pistons,'' he said. ``I make no ifs, ands or buts about that.''
Backup power forward Antonio McDyess said the Pistons don't necessarily need to revamp their roster, but they do need to change their cocky mind-set that led to them falling short of their goals.
``If we come back with the same mentality, it ain't going to work,'' McDyess said. ``But if we come back with the mentality of being ready to work, ready to win, we'll be OK.''
Reserve guard Flip Murray said he plans to exercise an option to return for a second season and reserve center Dale Davis said he doesn't plan to retire, adding that coming back to Detroit is a possibility if he expects to contribute.

As the 2012 Baseball Hall of Fame Weekend comes upon us, we should give considerable recognition to some of the Major League Baseball veterans that have been overlooked by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Each year, it seems that the criteria to get inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame is as difficult as getting you girlfriend's father's blessings. You have to reach benchmarks of 3,000 hits, 500 home runs or 300 wins to even be in the conversation. Don't even get the voters started on whether or not each candidate is clean from performance enhancing drugs. I have selected nine position players worthy of immediate consideration to be the next candidates inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
1B Fred "Crime Dog" McGriff 1986-2004 Tor, SDP, ATL, Tampa
Fred McGriff was a blue-collar first basemen who brought his hard-hat and lunch pail to the game. In his 18-year career, the "Crime Dog" produced 2,490 hits, 493 home runs, 1,550 RBI and 1,305 walks. Fred didn't hit those benchmark numbers that we mentioned earlier, but hey, he produced humanlike numbers in the steroid era and not one time was his name ever linked to the use of PEDs. McGriff was a five-time All-Star player, three-time Silver Slugger Award winner and won a World Series with the Atlanta Braves in 1995. He has been on the ballot for only three years now, but it is an embarrassment that he only holds 23.9% of the votes to get in. He needs at least 75% to reach the Hall. Hopefully the baseball writers will consider Fred McGriff as a future member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
2B Lou Whitaker 1977-1995 and SS Alan Trammell 1977-1996 both Detroit Tigers
These two characters were more popular than Starsky & Hutch, Batman & Robin and Tom & Jerry! Lou & Alan have been the dynamic duo since the minor leagues. Both of them came into the Majors together and took over the starting positions for the Detroit Tigers at the start of the 1978 season. The duo spent the next 18 years turning more double plays than anyone in Major League history.
Lou Whitaker batted .276 with 244 home runs, 1,084 RBI, 1,386 runs and 2,369 hits. The second baseman was a five-time All-Star, four-time Silver Slugger Award winner, three-time Gold Glover Award winner and a World Series Champion with the Detroit Tigers in 1984. Whitaker is ranked 74th all-time in wins above replacement! The troubling part about Lou Whitaker's situation is his stats compare to all second basemen in the Hall of Fame, but he did not receive the required five percent of the votes in his first year of eligibility. Because of that, he is no longer on the ballot.
Alan Trammell's career batting average was .285, and he batted over .300 seven times. He hit 185 home runs with 1,003 RBI, 1,231 runs and 2,365 hits. He was a six-time All-Star, four-time Gold Glove Award winner, three-time Silver Slugger Award, World Series MVP and World Series Champion in 1984 with the Detroit Tigers. Trammell has been on the Hall of Fame ballot for eleven years now with no success. He received 36.8% of the votes, so he is still in the hunt. There is still hope, and the fact that Barry Larkin will be enshrined this year has to bring up serious considerations, as both ball players have similar numbers. Here are Larkin's career numbers: .295 ave., 198 home runs, 960 RBI, 1,329 runs and 2,340 hits.
3B Steve Garvey AKA "Mr. Clean"1969-1987 LAD,SDP
Detroit had Whitaker & Trammell, but what about the LA Dodgers? The law firm of Cey, Lopes, Russell & Garvey were the together for over eight and a half years! Garvey was both a first and third baseman, whose career batting average was .294 with 272 home runs, 1,308 RBI, 1,143 runs and 2,599 hits. He had six seasons with at least 200 hits. Steve was a 10-time All-Star, four-time Gold Glove Award winner, NL MVP in 1974, two-time MVP of the All-Star game, two-time MVP of NLCS, and World Series Champion in 1981. His 15-year run on the ballot has expired and the highest voting percentage he received was 41.6%. The only thing I see that is the problem is that his home run numbers for a corner infielder are not very high. After 1980, Garvey played eight more seasons, only hitting over 20 homers once. Nonetheless, his numbers and his accolades warrant an induction by the Veteran's Committee.
C Ted Simmons 1968-1988 STL, MIL, ATL
Ted Simmons played in the Golden era of catchers with Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk and Gary Carter. Each of these players have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Simmons was a switch-hitting catcher with a career batting average of .285. He hit over .300 seven times. Simmons had 248 home runs, 1,389 RBI, 1,074 runs and 2,472 hits. He was an eight-time All-Star and won one Silver Slugger Award. Ted didn't have the home run numbers of Bench, Fisk and Carter, but he made up for it by having more hits and RBI. Only Ivan Rodriguez has more hits and runs batted in as a catcher. The puzzling thing about the Ted Simmons case is he never received more than four percent of the Hall of Fame votes and he is no longer on the Veteran's Committee ballot. It's all but a dead issue. Put Ted's numbers against any catcher that ever played in the league and he will for sure be mentioned amongst the greats.
OF Tim "Rock" Raines 1979-2002 MON, CHW, NYY, OAK, BAL, FLA
Rickey Henderson says he was "The Greatest of All Time!" He was, but Tim Raines was a five-tool ball player as well. Rock was a tremendous lead-off hitter for the Montreal Expos for years. His career batting average was .294, while batting over .300 six times. He had 170 home runs, 980 RBI, 1,574 runs, 2,605 hits, .385 on base percentage and 808 steals. Raines was also known as an excellent fielder. His accolades include being a seven-time All-Star, winning a Silver Slugger Award, a 1986 NL Batting Title, earning the 1987 All-Star MVP and being a three-time World Series Champion. Rock Raines has been on the Hall of Fame ballot for five years now and has 48.7% of the writers' votes. There is no excuse for keeping Rock out of the Hall. Anytime a player can turn a walk or a single into a man in scoring position, he is positively making a big impact on the game.
OF Dave "Cobra" Parker 1973-1991 PIT, CIN, OAK, MIL, CAL, TOR
The "Cobra" had the biggest shoes to replace when the legendary Roberto Clemente's unfortunate plane crash occurred after the '72 season. He did not disappoint as he made a living as the Bucs right fielder for the next 10 seasons. Everybody that was a baseball fan in the seventies remembers the '79 "We Are Family" Pirates. His batting average was .290 with 339 home runs, 1,493 RBI, 1,272 runs and 2,712 hits. He was a seven-time All-Star, three-time Gold Glove Award winner, three-time Silver Slugger Award winner, a two-time NL batting champion, 1978 NL MVP, 1979 All-Star MVP and two-time World Series Champion. Dave Parker was the game's best player in the late seventies and early eighties, which led him to be the first Major League ball player to have a million dollar contract. Parker had been part of a cocaine scandal, where he admitted to use of drugs, which may have cost him a MVP award in a season where he led the league in hits and batting average. Dave never received more than 24.% of the votes from the baseball writers and his eligibility has now run out. He still has hopes of getting in by the Veteran's Committee.
OF Albert Belle 1989-2000 CLE, CHW, BAL
Belle's production makes him a sure-fire Hall of Famer. His career batting average is .295, while batting over .300 four times. He had 381 home runs, 1,239 RBI, 974 runs and 1,726 hits in 12 seasons. His career ended abruptly with a degenerative hip. He was a five-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger Award winner. In 1995, Belle was the only player in Major League history to hit 50 home runs and 50 doubles in a season. He lost the MVP to Mo Vaughn, whose numbers did not compare to Albert's, and that is probably because of his reputation being a jerk with the media. In a three-year span, he finished in the top three in the MVP race never to win. Albert lost his eligibility after the first year by only receiving 7% of the votes. As long as the Baseball Writers' Association of America have anything to do with Albert getting in the Hall, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! Albert Belle may very well be the most hated baseball player ever, but in those 12 seasons in the league, he was definitely the most feared.
DH Edgar Martinez 1987-2004 Seattle Mariners
To all the beat writers who have a vote in the HOF: The designated hitter has been part of the game since the 1973 baseball season. During his playing career, Edgar Martinez was the greatest designated hitter of his time. His lifetime batting average sits at .312 with 10 years batting over .300. He has 309 home runs, 1,261 RBI, 1,219 runs and 2,247 hits. Only David Ortiz's numbers are better. Martinez was a seven-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger Award winner and two-time AL Batting Champ. Edgar has received 36.5% of the votes in his third attempt. He is for sure a candidate and the first designated hitter to be enshrined. He was a ferocious hitter in that Mariners line-up that consisted of Griffey, Buhner and A-Rod. Don't punish Edgar Martinez because he was a DH. Major League Baseball recognizes the position and so should Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Pitcher Jack Morris 1977-1994 DET, TOR, MIN, CLE
Known as the winningest pitcher of the 80's, the workhorse posted 254 career wins, 2,478 strikeouts, an era of 3.90, 175 complete games and 28 shutouts in eighteen years of service. Morris is a five-time All-Star and three-time World Series Champion. He earned the MVP Award of the 1991 World Series. In Game 7 of that series, Morris posted a 1-0 win in a 10 inning shutout against the Atlanta Braves. Jack has been on the ballot for 13 years now, finishing with 66.7% of the votes and second to only Barry Larkin who will be inducted in 2012. With the likes of Clemens, Bonds, Palmeiro, Bagwell, Sosa, Piazza and Biggio, it will be difficult for Morris to get the final 8% votes. Then again, with some of the most dominating players of all-time having a black cloud over their heads, Jack Morris maybe having his own party next July.

Steve Garvey played a total of 191 games in a 2,251-game career at third base — none after the third season of a 16-year careet. I know you were trying to find a Hall-worthy third baseman to fit in, but Garvey is very much remembered as a first baseman.
What about Harold Baines, Will Clark, Luis Tiant, Graig Nettles, Ron Guidry, Jon Olerud, Jeff Bagwell, Eric Davis, Dwight Evans, Dale Murphy, Al Oliver, Lance Parrish, Reggie Smith, Darryl Strawberry, Jack Clark and I could name many more. These guys were damn good ball players.
I like your list for the most part, but, unfortunately, I think Simmons, Whitaker and Belle will never get in. I don't think Simmons was quite (or is not regarded to have been) on the same level as the other catchers you mentioned, Whitaker was very good, but it seems unlikely, and Belle's personality,ego relations with the media, etc. will very likely leave him out, despite his outstanding on field performance. McGriff, Raines and Martinez will , in my estimation, will very likely eventually get in. Morris and Trammell both have good shots at it. A few other names I like (I realize some were previously mentioned) Vida Blue, Ron Guidry, Graig Nettles, Don Mattingly, Dennis Martinez, Dwight Evams, Joe Carter, Dale Murphy, and Kirk Gibson(unlikely-numbers not there same true for Matt Williams and Mike Scioscia). Most of those probably won't get in either, though. Again, nice article good cases made for each one of them.
These players are not in because somewhere along the lines MLB gave the voting to writers. This is the biggest joke of all time. Not one writer has ever played baseball at a professional level.I am simply amazed that such a important endeavor is given to these guys. They are not qualified! Also, a great deal of writers carry grudges against players.
For years I argued with "fans' about Bert Blyleven's shameful wait to get into the Hall. Bert had the numbers that exceded dozens of the enshrinees , yet these 'experts' and writers seemed determined to change the criteria for the honor according to their self imposed modern views. They made ambiguous claims that Blyleven was not dominant or that he never won a Cy Young etc. I beleive that if they were to prevail in that argument then dozens of the honorees should be thrown out according to their new views. Of course that would be ridiculous. The qualifications for the Hall is defined by those now enshrined. The Hall should eagerly accept those players who fit in with Mize, Medwick,Ruffing, Stargell,Klein,Roush etc etc.


text: Chavista Governor Turns On Maduro, Calls for End to State Violence in Venezuela Print article Send a Tip by Frances Martel 25 Feb 2014 post a comment Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's violent repression of student protesters has been so egregious that socialist members of his own party are turning against him. A longtime Party member and governor of one of the more afflicted regions of Venezuela called for the freedom of Leopoldo López and an end to violence on Monday. In a report titled "State Repression Opens the First Fissures in the Chavista Front," Argentine news outlet Infobae reports that Táchira Governor José Gregorio Vielma Mora delivered a speech to his constituents officially distancing himself from the government this Monday, despite being a member of Maduro's party and a lifelong Chavista. Vielma Mora allied himself with a young Hugo Chávez in the 1980s, long before Nicolás Maduro was on the scene. "I do not agree with keeping Leopoldo López prisoner," Vielma Mora told his constituents, referring to the leader of the opposition Popular Will party whose arrest triggered the current wave of violent suppression of opposition. López is being charged for arson and conspiracy--murder and terrorism charges were dropped--but is being held in a military facility despite the common-criminal nature of his indictment. Vielma Mora added that he was "against treating a protest with violence. Here no one is authorized to exert force... I am not a part of the regime; I was elected by the citizens of Táchira." The speech followed a radio interview in which, according to Miami-based El Nuevo Herald, Vielma Mora claimed that Maduro's increased militarization of his state was "a grave mistake" and "an unacceptable excess." "I am very against it; it bothered me very much; it was unnecessary to have to pass military airplanes over San Cristóbal," Vielma Mora said of his state's biggest city, which was among the first to lose Internet access during the protests. For much of last week, Vielma Mora's Twitter feed consisted of pleas to protesters to stop burning garbage on the streets and obstructing traffic (photo evidence shows that violent acts like burning items in the street were the work of armed Chavista gangs, not the protesters). However, as news spread of the speech he delivered, it appeared that the governor began to backtrack on his statements: Estoy con la revolución, no se cual grave fueron mis palabras. Las asumo una a una, No quise causar un revuelo o daño a la Revolución. — Jóse G.Vielma Mora (@vielmaestachira) February 24, 2014 Rumores malsanos surgen en las redes sociales para desprestigiar nuestro compromiso irrestricto con la Paz, con el Pdte y con la Revolución — Jóse G.Vielma Mora (@vielmaestachira) February 24, 2014 "I am with the revolution, I don't know how grave my words were. I assume [responsibility for them] one by one, I did not mean to cause a disturbance or hurt the Revolution," reads the first tweet. "Malevolent rumors surface on social media to disparage our unrestricted commitment with Peace, with the Party and the Revolution," reads the second. San Cristóbal was among the cities most damaged by Maduro's repression, losing Internet access for hours at a time and becoming the source of many graphic videos of state violence. Monday, for example, a camera caught state police beating protesters with sticks on the street (warning: graphic video):

SuperOneClick 188.8.131.52
SuperOneClick is a handy tool that can help you root your Android OS phone and gain such privileges. In order to properly work, the program requires WinRAR or a similar archiver installed on your computer, as well as an Android OS phone connected to it.
Handy tool for unlocking your Android phone
The application helps you gain root access of your Android OS phone, which allows you to overcome any limitations imposed by certain carriers and hardware manufacturers. This way, you can alter or replace system applications and settings, or run apps that would normally require administrator-level permissions.
This is achieved through certain exploits, such as ZergRush or Psneuter. With the help of these methods, you can easily bypass your Android OS phone and perform specialized tasks.
Intuitive rooting utility for Android OS-based smartphones
SuperOneClick allows you to perform several rooting variations, such as shell root or unroot. These features can be useful when you only need to access the shell of your phone, respectively restore it to default settings.
Furthermore, you can root your Android phone in order to install non-market apps, useful for developers that need to test their programs before having to deploy them.
A reliable program that roots Android-based phones
To conclude, SuperOneClick can easily grant you unlimited access to all the features of your Android OS based smartphone, by creating root-access privileges for you on the spot.

Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), expanding its system from its namesake territory into California's Silicon Valley, has awarded a $10 million contract to Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc., to install a regionally interoperable Clipper® Card payment system to its new customers.
Expanding light rail transit reach in the Los Angeles basin could next include a 20-mile LRT line from LA's Union Station to downtown Santa Ana, in Orange County, Calif.
Iowa Pacific Holdings, LLC and the Adirondack Rail Preservation Society (ARPS) have reached a Memorandum of Understanding to establish tourist passenger service on the Adirondack Railroad, linking its namesake state park in upstate New York to New York City with Pullman sleeping car service.
For the week ending Oct. 20, 2012, a key difference in the continuing slump in U.S. freight carload traffic is the number of commodity groups affected, according to data released Thursday by the Association of American Railroads.
American Railcar Industries, Inc. late Wednesday reported third-quarter net earnings of $14 million, or 66 cents per share, which ARI said was "a new quarterly record," and up dramatically from $4 million, or 19 cents a share, in the third quarter of 2011.
Studies suggest that new sports arenas, or relocation of professional sports teams, don't really benefit or bolster a local economy. Perhaps, instead, they reflect the locale's existing health. So it seems for Brooklyn (Brooklyn is back!), in three years to be home to the National Hockey League's New York Islanders. But an underlying reason—in this case, literally under—is the superior rail access.
The Anaheim, Calif., City Council, in a split 3-2 vote, has advanced a 3.2-mile streetcar plan that would serve, among other points, the original Disneyland.
Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. Wednesday reported third-quarter earnings of C$224 million (US$226 million), or C$1.30 per diluted share, up 20% from C$187 million, or C$1.10 a share, it notched in the third quarter of 2011. That surpassed Wall Street consensus expectations of C$1.23 per share.
A Toronto Transit Commission report prepared Oct. 10, scheduled to be released Wednesday during a TTC meeting, says the TTC's Toronto-York Spadina subway extension will be completed about one year behind schedule, moving the opening date back to roughly autumn, 2016.
Norfolk Southern Tuesday afternoon reported net income of $402 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, down 27% compared with $554 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. But earnings per share surpassed by one penny Wall Street consensus analysts' latest target of $1.23 per share.

Maybe Not the Best Prank to Play on Your Wife [VIDEO]
When the opportunity presents itself, sometimes you just need to grab it.
When the opportunity presents itself, sometimes you just need to grab it.
Because everyone should have fun with Jell-O.
It's better than getting fired!
The lighter side of Marilyn Manson!
Just because they're seniors doesn't mean they can't have fun.
Traditionally, the first day of April is a perfect time to get your kicks by playing jokes and setting up pranks for your friends, family and coworkers. Some people like to prepare for this day by pulling pranks all year long for practice.
I particularly like the canine reaction to this prank.
Pranks don't have to be too elaborate to be funny. This one could be pulled at home tonight. More after the jump.
This was featured on Tosh.0 this week, but only the tail-end of the prank. This took a lot to set up. Its offensive. Its terrible. Its beyond bad taste. Its beautiful!
Ok, so apparently only two of you had big enough balls to send us a prank video for the contest - disappointing.
However, we will still be giving away this awesome Avalanche Tour Prize Pack to one of the two people below. Watch the videos and then vote for which one you like the best. Voting will end on Friday April 8th at noon.
You can only vote once, so share this link with your friends to have them vote too!

Navigation path
The coming two years will be crucial for the design of a comprehensive strategy for the European Union. This strategy will have to respond to the expectation of the tax payers, serving their needs and not the other way around.
People want research investments and policies to help addressing the societal challenges of today and tomorrow. In order to know better which challenges we should focus on, we need your help.
We are launching the Futurium, our online lab where stakeholders, experts and non-experts, can co-create ideas for future European policies by drawing inspiration not only from today's trends, but especially from desirable futures.
Futurium is based on the metaphor of "collective brain" (or emergent collective intelligence), according to which stakeholders form a social network to co-create policy ideas on the basis of the scientific evidence elicited from real world data (e.g. through statistics) and the collective aspirations of the participants measurable through the social network.
Futurium aims at capturing the contributions of the citizens in a way that is usable and close to their expectations. It combines the informal character of social networks with the methodological rigour of foresights to engage stakeholders in the co-creation of the futures that we want.
What are the distinctive features of Futurium?
Futurium is an experimental endeavour. We launch it today but its features and content are improved ad expanded over time. It's open architecture allows for contributions by anyone. If you are interested to contribute, please read the post: "Time to experiment with new policy making models"
Futurium will host the content produced by Digital Futures for about one year. By them we will hopefully co-create many visions and ideas for possible future policies to be offered as 'hints' to the next EU programming cycle.
Your active and creative engagement is essential to make this experimental endeavour successful.
Keep in touch on the Futurium!
Congratulations to all involved on the launch of this site - looks like a terrific resource and I look forward to contributing to it and learning from it.
I particularly love the name. The Futurium sounds like something H.G. Wells might have come up with, which is very fitting given the focus of the site and how it also fits with other briliant thinking from this author. The following links are particularly appropriate and are just as relevant today as they were 80 years ago ... if not more so:
Finally, as a call-to-action, it's worth all contributors listening to a rare recording of H.G. Wells in his own words talking about foresight back in 1932. His example of the introduction of the motor car serves as a warning of why The Futurium is needed now.
Let's hope any ideas and thinking growing out of The Futurium won't take another 80 years before they find their time.
Thanks Jason Jones-Hall for your comment and links.
There is always a lesson to be drawn from the past and to be used to build a better future. :)
Could you post them into the Futurium library so as they can be used to enrich the collective evidence around Futures? We can also do it if for you :)
Thanks for the response. I will post resources in the library as suggested - sorry for slow reply!
Thanks to you indeed!
No hurry. You can feed the library as you like and when you want.
Keep in touch! :)

Chris Eller: "3D Storytelling"
UITS Advanced Visualization Lab, Department of Telecommunications
February 2, 2012
Can depth in a stereoscopic movie be utilized to convey meaning and trigger emotions in the audience? The body of evidence is small but growing as researchers look at physiological data from subjects viewing 3D movies. While that research is happening 3D movies are being developed and produced that use 3D in a variety of ways, from the gimmick to the puller of heartstrings. We'll look at how modern storytellers are using 3D as a technique and a tool in the filmmaking process.

Upcoming Opportunities
Ten International Research Funders Announce Round Three of the Digging into Data Challenge
Deadline: May 15, 2013
This year ten international research funders representing Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, are jointly announcing their participation in round three of the Digging into Data Challenge, a grant competition designed to spur computationally intensive research in the humanities and social sciences.
The Digging into Data Challenge aims to address how "big data" changes the research landscape for the humanities and social sciences. As the world becomes increasingly digital, new techniques will be needed to search, analyze, and understand these materials. Digging into Data challenges the research community to help create the new research infrastructure for 21st-century scholarship.
Applicants will form international teams from at least two of the participating countries. Winning teams will receive grants from two or more of the funding agencies and, two years later, will be invited to show off their work at a special conference sponsored by the ten funders.
Final applications will be due May 15, 2013.
Further information about the competition and the application process can be found at:

3 Dinners in LA: Jitlada, and.....?????
- r
- RichardAdams Feb 5, 2002 12:46 AM
Hey, need some help! This ex-New Yorker, now living in San Francisco, could use some help in finding three spots for dinner in the LA area.
Thinking Jitlada for Thai, but I'm clueless on other genres...maybe someplace Kosher (or "Kosher-style") and would really love to find a great Indian restaurant.
Any advice, fellow Chowhounds?
You fail to specify what area you're staying in or what price range you want, so I'm just going ahead and assuming that since the Westside is the Centre of the Universe:
Indian: Nawab of India, 1621 Wilshire (17th), Santa Monica - 310.829.1106
North Indian cuisine
Kosher: Magic Carpet, 8566 Pico (La Cienega), LA - 310.652.8507
Kosher Yemeni food
re: PRSMDave
As a chowhound, I'm assuming when you say the Westside is the Center of the Universe you are referring to the westside of the San Gabriel Valley.
re: roger simon
Um, yeah, that's it... [grin].
re: michael (mea culpa)
been to Jitlada once the food is horrible and tasteless. try Sanamluang or Salandang instead.
I have to agree that Jitlada is absolutely horrendous. I would prefer Saladang Song, Chili Thai, Thai Beer, Natalee Thai to name a few.
Try Factor's, on Pico and Beverly, for a very good jewish deli if that's on your list. If you find a good Indian restaurant, please share. My wife is Bengali, and after eating her mother's cooking (and learning to do it myself), I am unable to dine out on Indian food anywhere in LA. And I've tried.
re: Tom M.
unfortunately, the vast majority of indian restaurants serve a standard fare of north indian food, heavy on the mughal influences (lots of meat, lots of cream). for anything else (south indian, for example -- or bengali) you'll probably have to search high and low. i wish i could offer some pointers, but i don't live in LA anymore...
I second the Magic Carpet recommendation if you need kosher. If you just want great middle eastern food, check out Sunnin (Lebanese) on Westwood just north of Santa Monica. Great hole-in-the-wall.
For Indian, I'm partial to Electric Lotus' new restaurant on 3rd Street, east of La Cienega. There's on in Los Feliz also, but this one's better.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Chan Darae on Cahuenga (I don't bother with the other two locations which are far inferior). I find the food there tasty and authentic (as far as I can tell), and most importantly, fresh. I am very particular about meat and try not to order it if the place looks... questionable. I've had good experiences at Chan Darae when it comes to the freshness of meat but can't say the same about Jitlada.
For Indian, I'd go to India's Oven. I love their daal and mint chutney. Although the decor suffers from the 80's syndrome as well as the ubiquitous dusty rose color scheme (can somebody explain the dusty rose thing in Indian restaurants? I've been to at least 8 with the same dusty rose--what's the deal???), the food is very good and consistent. I briefly worked with an Indian guy who had to have Indian food everyday for lunch and this was his favorite place.
2 locations that I know of: Beverly w. of La Brea & Wilshire near Barrington.
I've tried about every Thai restaurant in LA, and the best, bar none, is Renu Nakorn on Rosecrans in Norwalk. If that's too far afield for ya, Palms Restaurant on Hollywood Bl in Thai Town is great, Ruenpair next door is amazing for chinese-influenced Thai (and the best som tam in LA), Kruang Tedd is fun on Hollywood, and Sanamluong across the street is good, and there's a nice, fishier restaurant down the street from Chan Dara called Chao Praya if you want nice decor or western influence. Another far-afielder is Thai Nakorn, in Buena Park on Stanton Avenue, and though it has a wider variety of dishes, I think the cooking is about on par with Palms Restaurant on Hollywood in Thai Town.
For Indian, I was terribly partial to Canard de Bombay in Studio City, but they've closed (anyone know where they went)? Absent Canard, I'd go for Electric Lotus, which is delish, and the East India Cafe on La Brea near Beverly Bl. for excellent tandoori (including tandoori prawns, yum!). A lighter Indian fare and fun decor can be had at Pradeep's on Montana in SMonica. I had some good food at Nawab on Wilshire in SMonica Monday, though it's a pricier, tablecloth'd joint.
