A little about me...
Good hearted man seeks sweet, smart, active, attractive, fit, fun-loving best friend and all the rest. This glass is more than half full of talents, skills, hands, and heart. Credos for life include: God loves me more than I deserve--generosity is as much about sharing as giving--it is important to understand the difference between material wealth and richness of living--thankfulness trumps greed everytime--laughter really is the best medicine--a house of love not built on a foundation of friendship will crumble.
About me: I am an odd assortment of contradictions: I love kids and dogs but have none of my own. I exercise daily and am pretty fit but love to veg out for a football game on the tube and eat junk food. I rarely drink during the school year but collect fine Tequilas. I am a well churched Christian and man of very strong faith, but also too often a "joyous sinner." I am both "what you see is what you get" and "more than meets the eye." Though known for my laughter, I have a contemplative side also. That said, i do consider myself a "real man." No tattoos, piercings, or colorings. I am well trained and experienced in massage and enjoying sharing those talents with my partner. I play music and write lyrical poetry.
About the one I'm looking for...
You are beautiful inside and out, or at least you will be in my eyes. You have a sweetness, kindness, and goodness about you that is easily visible to all. You are intelligent but not pretentious. You are fit, active, and adventurous and enjoy trying new things (maybe you'll let me teach you Frisbee!!) You like sports or at least can put up with the fact that sports are my career. You are affectionate and enjoy holding hands, hugs, kisses and making love without blueprints. You will become my best friend and closest confidante. If you are "her" I promise that I will win (not steal) your heart. Together we will find true friendship, real romance, and genuine joy in life. You will have me fully and I will thank God daily that you love me.
I'd just like to add...
I will be honest here and say that internet dating and dating in my 50s has been very difficult for me. I really want to find only ONE fine, special, compatible woman with whom I have great chemistry. But chemistry has been elusive. I am not looking for 30-something women, which is why I am on this site. I just want someone who has the same youthful attitude that I do and who wants to live life fully and with a wonderful man who will cherish and value his lovely woman. My faith is important to me and I attend church weekly, but I am not "religious" in any way. This will require further discussion. I hope and pray that my heart is in the right place in all of this. I am NOT seeking female friends, casual dating, or meaningless sex. I DO seek my BEST friend, true courtship, and a deep, passionate intimacy that transcends even great physical lovemaking. Yes, I am a true romantic, and I hope that my life's experiences have taught me what is really important. I really need someone who is reasonably fit and active, as this is a big part of my lifestyle. To be honest, I would like to be away from all internet dating as soon as I can be. Does anyone else find this to be like a part time job and rather exhausting?

Vanessa Hudgens Gets Inkedby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Vanessa Hudgens has gotten inked.
The Beastly star stopped by East Side Ink in New York City this week and let famed tattoo artist Keith "Bang Bang" McCurdy go to work on her neck. The result?
This leads us to a very simple question: What do you think?
I have a tattoo and it reminds me of my husband I think her tattoo looks cute I love butterflys
she Do not know something about fashion it's only Imitation ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
yeah,its cute!
Boring. And no one's skin looks good when you're 70 and wrinkley, so what difference is some ink gonna make on it? Is it really gonna make it that much worse? I doubt it. A lot of tattoos that don't "have meaning" are a million times more impressive than ones "with meaning." As long as the tattoo is high quality art, I don't see why it matters whether or not it "has meaning."
Getting your own name ( Vanessa's name means butterfly) tattooed on you isn't trashy. It's poking fun at couples getting each other's names tattooed on them then breaking up. Vanessa isn't exactly going to break up with herself. Her name is forever. The difference of some relationships.
My one and only tattoo is for my late husband and means the world to me. I know many people including my parents who do not like tattoos on a man or woman but they have learned to accept mine. I think it's o.k. as long as the person realizes that it is forever and it should have some meaning. I think it is dumb to have a tattoo for the fuck of it and all over the body like that whore Michelle "not a bomshell" Mcgee and Kat von D.
I'll never understand why anyone would want to deface their body with a tattoo. It isn't harming anyone I guess but it's not very attractive on a girl and it's not natural. I can't wait to see all these people in 50 years, grandma's with big tattoos on themselves. Real cute.
I have 8 tattoos, and they ALL mean something. I am still a believer that tattoos are supposed to be about self expression and not status. Its cute, and I like the placement
theres nothing wrong with getting inked, just as long as it isnt some big ugly tattoo that u had put on u for the fun of it, than im fine with it
I meant GIRL Not GRIL!

Motorola Milestone XT720
It's probably worth mentioning:
You make no mention of whether or not this variant of the Milestone sports the same signed bootchain as the regular Milestone, preventing users from using custom ROMs.
What you should have mentioned is Motorola's absolutely abysmal track record for getting Android updates to phones in a timely manner. Their flagship, the Verizon branded Droid still doesn't have 2.2, and they're deliberately dragging their feet over confirming if the nigh-identical Milestone will get it at all.

Sony pulls PlayStation 3 software update
@ Highlander
You're probably correct about me being more observant of the noises the PS3 is making. I have only had it a week though, so I'm not entirely sure what the "Correct" noises are yet. The loading noise is basically the same one all CD based consoles make, so I'm guessing it's normal.
Anyone notice the drive making odd noises post update yesterday? It might be my habit of pausing MGS4 with the PS Button rather than start, but it sounds like my disk drive is doing more loading than it was before.
I personally can't wait until PS3 gets to firmware version 3.60.
I downloaded this to USB and installed it yesteday. Am I screwed? Or is the bug only in the installation?

Mexico says it may suspend US trade preferences over meat labels
Mexico's Economy Ministry said it was considering suspending preferential trade tariffs with the United States for a variety of products in a simmering dispute over meat labeling.
The disagreement stems from a 2009 U.S. requirement that retail outlets specify the country of origin on labels on meat and other products in an effort to give consumers more information about the safety and origin of their food.
Canada and Mexico have complained to the World Trade Organization that the COOL (country-of-origin labeling) rules discriminated against imported livestock.
The trade body ordered the United States to comply with WTO rules by May 23, but the U.S. government made revisions that Canada and Mexico say would only make the situation worse.
Mexico and Canada are seeking the WTO's support in their case and the Mexican Economy Ministry said if the U.S. government is found to be in the wrong, Mexico would react.
For this reason, the ministry said in a statement it was considering suspending preferential tariffs for a broad variety of produce including fruit and vegetables, juice, meat, dairy products, machinery, furniture, household goods, among others. (Reuters)

Steve Clifford Is The Newest Bobcats Head Coach…Call Him "RENT-A-COACH"
Charlotte Hornets
Buy Hornets Tickets
Full Schedule
Upcoming Games
Steve Clifford is the Latest Charlotte Bobcats head coach. Who? To quote "My Brother from another Mother" QCB: "NEVER HEARD OF HIM!!!" I've heard of Clifford Robinson; Clifford Huxtable (Cosby Show Reference); I've heard of Clifford the Big Red Dog, but Steve Clifford?
All kidding aside, I actually have heard of him. He was an assistant over a decade ago for Don Chaney with the Knicks; then Jeff Van Gundy with the Houston Rockets. After that, he was with Jeff's brother Stan helping the Orlando Magic reach the 2009 NBA Finals. He spent this past season in Los Angeles with Dwight "Prima DIVA" Dwight Howard and the Lakers.
This is the Bobcats third head coach in three seasons. Although he has a better resume than his predecessor Mike Dunlap, let's be honest, Steve Clifford is NOT selling tickets. He reeks of another "RENT-A-COACH" who will probably be dismissed by the time the Carolina Panthers will be selecting their first round pick next April.
He has a great rapport working with big men like Howard, Pau Gasol, and the now retired Yao Ming. His only head-coaching experience was at Division II Adelphi University in New York. Not exactly a high profile program like Louisville or Kentucky. We'll see what happens.
On the surface it appears like another "Stop-Gap Transitional" coach until the entire franchise goes Back To The Future with the purple and teal of the Charlotte Hornets in the 2014-2015 season. That is when Michael Jordan will make a big splash with a brand name head coach.
As THEE "UNSILENT MAJORITY" on Everything, here's a little friendly advice, Mr. Clifford: RENT in Charlotte, but whatever you do, DO NOT BUY property. I hear Ballantyne is quite nice.

I am grateful to have a roof over our heads. My SSI doesn't go very far. I would like to give my son a nice dinner and maybe a gift for Christmas. He is what I live for.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because he injured his left hamstring.
Cabrera, the NL leader with 31 stolen bases was hurt during San Diego's 4-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Outfielder Jaff Decker was recalled from Triple-A Tucson to take Cabrera's place on the 25-man roster.
The left-handed Decker is making his second appearance with the Padres but has yet to play in a game.
Decker batted .260 with 10 doubles, one triple and five home runs in 63 games with Tucson.

By Dr. Ken Broda-Bahm:
In foreign policy, the projection of certainty and confidence can be as important as the strategy. On that score, it hasn't been an easy few weeks for the Obama administration. While some find it refreshing for leaders to avoid quick bravado in response to complex world events, others have attacked everything from the President's choice in suit color ("The Audacity of Taupe") to the admission of a lack of strategy in response to events in Iraq and Syria. Critics argue that this lack of confidence projects uncertainty which weakens our position and emboldens our enemies. And there is another area where a lack of confidence can do the same: trials. When an attorney or witness conveys discomfort, uncertainty, or a lack of confident composure, jurors and judges will take that as a reflection on the case. Even when we know it isn't true, we act as though it is: Winners are confident and losers aren't.
The research backs that up as well. In addition to decades of studies showing that confidence is a key component of credibility, a new study (Lamba & Nityananda, 2014) shows that even false confidence can be very convincing. People who overestimate their own abilities end up being seen as more talented than others and are more likely to get positive breaks in life. And the converse goes for those who underestimate their abilities. Both uncertainty as well as the overconfidence are likely to bleed over into an audience's analysis. For jurors or judges, that means that their own sense of how a witness is doing on the stand, for example, will be strongly influenced by the witness's own sense. This post takes a look at the study and then, confidently, draws out a few implications for witness preparation.

Black Wall Street's The Game recently cleared the air about past retirement rumors saying his next album may be released this fall.
Game confirmed his aim to continue working and creating new music.
"I'm on tour right now stackin' my paper," Game said in an interview. "Yeah, I ain't retiring man, I gotta work on my album man. I gotta keep giving the people, you know, the gangsta sh*t, straight outta Compton, four albums in, come this September or something like that. I'ma drop some new heat. I even got an album title." (Wild 101.1)
He recently revealed his album plans at a California concert.
"I love y'all, I swear to God I love y'all," Game told fans at a recent concert. "I'm not gonna lie, I'm in the studio working on my fourth album." "I ain't finished a show out in Cali in how long," he told another set of fans at a different performance. "I've been in the f*cking house trying to stay the f*ck outta trouble, get my probation right." (World Star Hip Hop)
While an official name has yet to be confirmed, various blog sites are reporting on a projection date and title credits.
It seems the rapper has changed his mind and is working on a new album titled Global Warming entirely produced by Cool & Dre. The production duo have been responsible for several of The Game's previous hits including the L.A.X. single "Big Dreams." The album is set for release this summer 2009. (Street Hop)
Game is currently on a nationwide tour in support of last summer's L.A.X. album.
He has assembled a coast-to-coast US trek to support his latest effort. The club/theater outing is scheduled to visit nearly 30 cities, starting with several California performances in mid-February. Beginning Feb. 18 and concluding Mar. 29, stops include Los Angeles, Phoenix, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Boise, Denver, Tulsa, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, New Haven, Providence, Norfolk, New York and more.

One in three Irish people, 1.5 million in all, will watch the Royal Wedding next week according to a new survey.
Despite mixed feelings about the British legacy in Ireland and the role of the Royal Family, the wedding will be one of the most watched events in recent Irish television history.
The UPC survey discovered the top reasons Irish women especially will tune in is to see the bride's dress and to gaze at the many celebrities who have been invited.
Friday is a normal working day in Ireland but a holiday in Northern Ireland where viewing figures are expected to also be through the roof.
Some estimates say that two people in three in Northern Ireland will view the wedding.
However, the main Irish celebrity invited, Brian O'Driscoll, will be a no show.
The famed Irish international rugby player has a critical game against Toulouse for his side Leinster in the semi-final of the Heineken Cup the same weekend.

What Cardiologists Tell Their Friends
What's better than having a fashionista or a foodie as a BFF? Being pals with a heart doctor. The health advice these experts give their nearest and dearest can help you prevent a heart attack and live longer.
By Lisa Mulcahy
"Pack your bags--you need a vacation"
"My friend is a really high-powered executive who thought she was perfectly healthy--until her doctor discovered a coronary blockage that required a stent. She was shocked, and exclaimed to me, 'I'm too young for this!' I told her that heart disease absolutely can happen to a woman in her 40s; if you don't take time to recharge your batteries, stress hormones like cortisol may be putting you at risk. I told her she had to start leaving the office on time: Studies have found that working more than 11 hours a day can raise your odds of heart disease by 67 percent. She made a real effort to change her lifestyle, and got her health back on track." --Shyla High, M.D., cardiologist in Dallas

Warmth in words and actions
Today's Glen Ellen news is all about kids – their promotions, their awards and their summer plans. But as you read about all of these Glen Ellen stars, look around and find your own examples of stellar children in your own community, at your own local school.
As my friend Pat Herron recently said to me, "You sure love Dunbar, don't you." Admittedly, it's true. It's the school my boys attended and it's our neighborhood campus, undoubtedly the most beautiful in the Valley, surrounded by towering green oaks and grassy fields, still late spring green. I am grateful for the school campus, but even more, for the great school Dunbar remains, an academic institution of excellence.
Even more, I appreciate public education as an egalitarian and democratic system that holds great promise for the future. I like to know that all children are welcome and that each of them are held dear and provided equal education. Children are our future and education is essential.
My own Mama began kindergarten (in Eureka) not speaking English. Her native language was Finnish and in the small community of loggers and fishermen, her family members and acquaintances all spoke Finnish. My mother often talked about how hard her first year of school was. She yearned to sit next to the teacher on the piano bench while songs were played and the other children sang. She deeply missed her recently deceased mother and because of that, didn't try to speak, didn't try to look at anyone. She simply had hopes, sadly unrecognized.
At Dunbar, I see a different world. I see non-English speakers welcomed, language shared, affection freely given, warmth in words and actions.
Stepping up, stepping out
Last Thursday morning, I attended Dunbar's fifth-grade promotion ceremony, as I've done for so many years I can hardly count them. It feels to me that, not so long ago, I watched our sons Schuyler and Gabriel go through the same ceremony, under the same shining sun, surrounded by the strength and benevolence of trees. But last week, I was brought into the present by seeing beautiful, little Emilee Bess Atkinson, niece to one of Schuyler's former classmates, Jake Atkinson. Then I watched Elias Antonio Casolla walk across the stage, the son of one of my former students.
Respectful sprightliness
Time indeed thunders on, as wildly rapid as the raging Sonoma Creek in winter and as softly sedate as a summer scented breeze. Yes, I am grateful for all we share: it is a good life in Glen Ellen.
At Dunbar's promotion ceremony, principal Melanie Blake spoke eloquently, yet plainly, to the gathered students, all of them arrayed in their ceremonial best. From a blue silk kimono (worn by Luna Michelis) to a jaunty Madras plaid (sported by Alex Farrow) to a classic cotton brocade gown (looking sophisticated on Sara Galindo) the students wore their best and behaved in the way that dressing up promotes. I loved Amelia Lee's red and black dress, which echoed one I had back in the '50s. One young fellow, Nathon Zander Cox, added a respectful sprightliness to his walk with a dignified hop and a skip.
Sharply skilled, wisely kind
Principal Blake spoke of this memorable class, with unique people, who will be outstanding in the world, blessed with infectious smiles. She shared, "We are all better for having known each other," then listed just a sample of the things those students had learned: how to garden and produce fresh, healthy food; how to give to others, providing toys for tots and food for the hungry, how to be good role models for the younger students. But, "most important," she emphasized they have "learned how to be kind and to stand up for what is right."
Honoring our fifth-graders
In addition to the students I've already noted above, the fifth-grade group included Linda Alquezada, Laura Avila-Vega, Elisa Barbagelata, Piper Bodwell, Lukas Bragg, Brayan Calderon-Archundia, Miriam Calvillo, Ema Camarena-Martinez, Rolando Rivera, Fiona Cardenas, Luna Castanon-Barrios, Aurora Claros, Aidan Clune, Lindsey Cullen, Vincent De La Barcena, Max Doyle, Alejandro Angel, Clarissa Escobar, Jose Vazquez, Elaina Garcia, Rafael Garcia, Jr., Rolando Garcia, Gabe Gissell, Marvin Gomez, Robert Greenslade, Michael Hallett, Lily Hamilton, Joshua Hernandez, Vania Hernandez, Sandra Hurtado, Diego Jaramillo, Liam Jenkins, Holly Lee, Tommy Long, Kenneth Macias, Isabella Magnani, Oscar Moya, Cassandra Murphy, Adalai Nolazco-Barajas, Stephen O'Neil, Eduardo Ornelas, Kabir Pandeya, Nicole Payne, Emma Pressley, Elizabeth Pulido-Gaona, Alonso Garcia, Areli Vargas, Jonathan Romo-Gutierrez, Dayanna Sanchez, Julianna Sanchez-Chavez, Jakob Sparks, David Taguinod, Olivia Thorgersen, Omar Torres-Tellez, Michaela Willis and Lailie Weiss.
Honor, service, courage . . .
Of course, Daughters of the American Revolution representative, Muriel Owens attended, as she always does at every Sonoma Valley school's promotion and graduation. I think it's the first time I've not seen Muriel in her patriotic blue suit adorned with an array of fancy ribbons and DAR awards. Last Thursday, Muriel looked like the lovely grandmamma that most children see her as. Wearing a soft, rose pink suit that made her distinctive white curls glow, she greeted the students with solemn enthusiasm.
Every school graduation and promotion I've attended, Muriel's been there. She is ever proud to award the DAR pin to a deserving student, who, in Muriel's words, "exhibits honor, service, courage, leadership and patriotism."
With those standards in mind the entire faculty chooses the students who most display those outstanding characteristics. This year, the faculty chose Elisa Catherine Barbagelata and Alex August Farrow. Congratulations to these two good citizen students and many thanks to Muriel Owens.
Loving language
The La Luz Award is annually presented to a fifth-grade student who has excelled as an English language learner, while still honoring their birth language. The award was presented by Osmaira Marquez, a young woman who is a former high school recipient of a La Luz academic scholarship in 2007, which helped in her expenses while attending Sonoma State University. The Dunbar fifth-grader awarded this honor is Areli Rojas Vargas. With sincere thanks to Osmaira and congratulations to Areli.
High octane characters at GE Church
Now that school is out, youngsters can begin thinking of summer opportunities. A fun and simple one is available right away. The Glen Ellen Community Church on O'Donnell Lane at Henno Road in the heart of Glen Ellen is sponsoring its annual Vacation Bible School, June 30 – July 3, Monday through Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. at the church.
Here's the scoop from Sandy Zimmermann, one of the camp directors: "Hey Kids … get revved up for 'The Incredible Race.' You're invited back for more of the high-performance action, souped-up adventure, and more learning about Jesus with your friends at Glen Ellen Community Church. Some high-octane characters will take you through 'The Race to Help' Mission Station, 'Bible Pacesetters' Story Station, 'Drive-In Theater' Snack and Theater Station and 'Full Throttle Games' Station. And so much more."
All Sonoma Valley youngsters ages 4 through 12 are invited to attend for free. The Thursday program includes parents at a BBQ by Pastor Jim Hill and a program by the children, capped by the breaking of the piñata.
You can register online at gechurch.com or just show up the first day. If you'd like more information, call the church office at 996-1479.
Summer-dry gardens
Last week's Blooming Backyards Garden Tour was a grand success. In addition to my friend Ann Peden who worked hard on this project, other local folks involved included her co-chair of the tour day, Kathleen Fitzgerald-Orr. Another Master Gardener. Kathleen is also a member of the board of the Sonoma County Master Gardeners, serves as a co-chair of their Santa Rosa help desk and is also one of their specialists in the Garden Sense program, designed to help the home gardener make wise use of our water resources.
Linda Simonds adds "Ann and Kathleen have done an outstanding job steering this project, Sonoma County Master Gardeners single, largest educational effort." Their goal was to reach 1,000 home gardeners with information about gardening in a summer-dry climate.
Other Sonoma Valley gardeners from Glen Ellen and Kenwood who helped on this huge project included Diane Kenworthy, manager of BBY garden captains, Kate Roach, involved in the education Committee part of the tour, Steven Hightower, docent at Cathy's garden, Erika Asande, publicity committee, Betsy Karrer, head of education committee, and Carla Carvajal of the education committee.
Forests forever
Finally, a note of interest to local landowners concerned with sound forestry practices. Steven Swain, environmental horticulture advisor, University of California Continuing Education in Marin and Sonoma counties sends this important news: On Saturday, June 14, the Sonoma County Forest Conservation Working Group will present a forest stewardship workshop in Glen Ellen. This workshop is intended for owners and managers of forest or woodland properties in and around the Mayacamas Mountains. In the morning classroom session, researchers and land management specialists will discuss the ecology and historical development of the region's forests, and agency representatives will describe funding sources available to land owners and legal tools for long-term land conservation. The afternoon field tour includes lunch and will emphasize applied management techniques such as shaded fuel breaks, oak establishment and removal of fish passage barriers.Class limited to 30 participants. Register at: ucanr.edu/stewardship.

Thai Square
So so experience.
Shrimp green curry -- special of the day, and taro stew sweet dessert.
I wasn't very hungry so I ordered light and the basics just to test the kitchen.
The green curry wasn't impressive at all. It was much better IIRC at Nava Thai in Wheaton. I could approximate the flavor 85% with curry milk and the frozen Thai curry paste in my freezer - why pay $12 for something marginally better? The taro dessert, I can scoop a cup at Bamboo Buffet.
I'm just pissy with what seems to be par for the course NoVA Thai food. I want to be wowed with Bangkok or Singapore hawker stall flavor and all I can find (not that I look very hard) is bland baby food Americanized flavor. Ok, that's not realistic. I could try Ruan Thai, and return to Nava, but I wish they were less of a trek.
I think I'm afflicted with curse of watching Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern. The cheap and delicious food they eat in Asia devalues my own real life eating experience here. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. (Gordon Ramsay bears responsibility too.)
I haven't been impressed by any green curry for a long time now. The only coconut curry I do like is at Nam Viet where Jamie D helped me ID that they add in squash or pumpkin to the mix. The only other non-Indian curries I like are along the lines of the northeast style curry at Thai Luang, and a similar dish at Tarin Thai. This latter place might also intrigue you, Minger, though it's a trek to Herndon if you're not out that way already.
It's been awhile for me at Thai Square, but I've almost always been impressed there - again, I've never ordered a green curry from them. I know Steve has posted a list of must-trys a few times. I also like to add the spicy squid salad to that list - sort of like larb on steroids.
And, this is one place where you do have to tell them you want it authentic style. They may even fight you on it. The last room-mate I had before I married never could convince them that he really wanted it that way - but I never had a problem.
You won't find "Bangkok or Singapore hawker stall flavor" inany DC restaurant. However, Thai Square is still the most suthentic you will find in the area. It is unforatuante that you were disappointed. Give it another try. If you are unsure, ask the servers what you should try. Even the servers from other Thai restaurants that I know come to Thai Square to eat.
re: Dakota Guy
IIRC, Pookie Duangrat (of Duangrat and Rabieng) had a third place briefly that specialized in street food. But yes, there's little here that compares to the cheapest roadside tent in Bangkok. Thai Square is one of the better ones, and I was also pleasantly surprised by Ruan Thai the last time I was there.
re: sweth
sweth, was the street food place in the location where raaga is now? if so, i did not realize that great little place had been connected with duangrat/rabieng around the corner. it made great noodles. in fact, it was " noodle house". maybe "bangkok noodle house," iirc. i still recall the open-work, white patio furniture and "palm trees" inside.
re: alkapal
I honestly don't remember if it was exactly where Raaga is now, but right near there. I think it was called "Bangkok Street Grill & Noodles" or something like that.
Thai Square can fry like few others. Go for the greens with fried pork belly bits and have insanely crunchy pork against soft and flavorful greens.
Try the shredded catfish salad and the sun dried beef or pork, both winners. If it is chilly outside, the floating market soup in brown broth is rich and complex.
We've never had an issue with food being dumbed down there, though the servers have confirmed that we know certain dishes are spicy.
I recently visited Thai Square with a friend who is thai and he pronounced it excellent...but we didn't have the green curry. He actually ordered off of the Thai menu and we had a red curry with duck. Some of the other highlights on the menu are the papaya salad, which we once convinced the waitress to give us "thai-hot" and it literally made me go deaf for several minutes, and the crispy squid. If you want heat, ask for the chili tray too.
re: caphill2320
caphill2320: chile heat made you go deaf for several minutes? wow! have you ever had any reaction even similar prior to that? can you describe the experience in more detail? i'm so intrigued.....
anyone else?
re: alkapal
I've had many dishes so hot that they gave me a headache, and twice (including once in Thailand, actually) the headache was bad enough to cause my ears to ring. But I've never gone deaf from food. (Or at least not directly. I also once accidentally ate a huge mound of wasabi that inflamed my sinuses so bad that, a few hours later, I was completely congested and couldn't hear a thing.)
re: sweth
I ordered the green curry because it was a special of the day so I thought it would truly special, but I guess it was a revenue item, since it was priced above the regular curries and not that special. (Unless you're a regular, it's never really clear until you get the order whether the "special" is a true labor of love or a marketing move on ordinary food to boost the receipts.)
OK. so avoid the green curry; search chow, next time, for suggestions; ask for thai authentic; try ordering off the thai menu? (i don't read or speak thai so the last idea might be problematic.)
is it possible to convey wanting the order "thai authentic" without it getting it "thai spicy?" i once insisted on getting cashew chicken (at jackon diner in queens, ny) "indian spicy" and the waiter decided not to humor me and gave it to me double barrel. the dish was inedible. something between baby food and searing realism would be ideal, how do you convey and get that?
re: Minger
Hmm... maybe "ow ahaan thai, day mai thai pet, cup". That's a completely mangled transliteration that is (IMHO) easier for most English speakers to get vaguely correct than the "official" transliteration; since Thai is a tonal language and my Thai is very poor to begin with, you'll probably still get confused stares, but there's at least a chance that they'll understand it as something along the lines of "I want Thai food, but not Thai spicy, please". You could also try "ow neet noy pet, cup", or "I want it just a little bit spicy, please".
re: Minger
I just remembered another phrase that sometimes worked when I was in Thailand to get authentic food when it looked like I was going to get the American menu: "ow ahaan thai tamadaa", or "I want normal Thai food". I've found that my pidgin Thai worked much better in Thailand than here, though, for some reason.
re: Minger
OK, one last tip that I thought of: don't forget to ask for the spice tray when you order. Good Thai places will have a tray of 4-5 traditional Thai condiments like prik nam pla (spicy fish sauce) that they'll bring out with your food, since it's expected in Thailand that you'll want to tweak the seasoning and spice to suit your own palate. As a test of inauthenticity it's got a very low false-positive rate--I've never seen a good Thai place that doesn't have the tray--but having the tray isn't necessarily a guarantee that the place is good... but the other advantage of asking for it is that once you have it, you can use it to season the food. ;)
re: alkapal
And I love the fish sauce. I've been very good about weaning myself off of salt, but this adds a nice salty flavor I can't resist while adding a touch of heat. Then I can add the same ground chilies alkapal references.
I was so set to get that yesterday for lunch and work got in the way :(
re: Minger
Please, share your tips for getting authentic Chinese food, too, then. So far the only phrase I've been able to dig up is "zhen zheng de" (high, falling, and neutral tones), but I'm not even sure what it means and it doesn't seem to work very often.
re: sweth
Must be groundhogs day:
re: Minger
Heh. Groundhogs day, indeed. For some reason, I never saw those followups in that thread; a belated thanks for them.
Any advice on the tones for those phrases, by the way?
re: sweth
correction, dao dao di di -> dao di = authentic or genuine. that's the keyword you want to convey
you can look up "authentic" and get the pinyin and a voice guide for "dao di" (and any other words)
wo (third) I
yao (fourth) want
chi (first) to eat
dao (fourth) authentic
di (light
)de (light)
(si (fourth)) (sichuan)
(chuan (first))
chai(fourth) food
maybe some better Chinese speakers can help out?
re: Minger
I would substitute "yao" for "xiang" (third tone) for would like. It's a bit more polite.
Also, technically, a "ch" would indicate a curled tongue sound, so the pinyin would be "cai," but pronounced "tsai." (I think the pronounciation writing is more in wai-giles, but it's the closest sound i can think of).
I feel that "dao di" and "dang (1st tone) di" can be interchangable, but don't know if people have opinions, other than 1st tone is easier to pronounce....
re: orangemix
I think "dangdi" really means "local", so you're better of with "daodi" or "zhenzheng" in my opinion. A friend of mine frequently requests that they "make the dish as if they were cooking it for a Chinese person," which seems to help.
re: alkapal
Oh, man, it was intense. My friend who loves chilies just kept insisting that we wanted the papaya salad "thai hot" while the waitress looked at us skeptically. It was just so so spicy, but so tasty. I think it was more of an endorphin response than anything. It was like the volume of everything in the restaurant got muted, like under water. I love spicy foods, and that hasn't put me off, but that was a crazy dinner.
re: caphill2320
> It was just so so spicy, but so tasty. I think it was more of an endorphin response than anything. It was like the volume of everything in the restaurant got muted, like under water.
That's the funniest thing I've ever read on this board!
re: caphill2320
Ah, yes. Among my friends, food so hot that you get high off the endorphin rush is "I can see through time"-hot, after Lisa's comment after trying some of Apu's vindaloo in an episode of the Simpsons. A semi-reliable source of that sort of rush is the shaltak (sp?) at George's Townhouse, the cheesesteak hut at the edge of Georgetown--they put a little bit on their cheesesteaks, but you can ask for extra on the side; the spiciness can vary a lot between batches, so if you slather your extra shaltak on without tasting it first, you'll end up with about a quarter of your cheesesteaks being "i can see through time"-hot.
re: chowdown1123
is bangkok golden the one with a buffet lunch? perpendicular to home depot? near the hong kong place?
how is it for other dishes? i wasn't impressed by the buffet, but 1. it was buffet; 2. the name seemed different....so maybe, different mgmt?
Minger, have you been to the big Thai Festival at the wat in Silver Spring? It's the area's major Thai food event with dozens of food vendors.
re: alkapal
IIRC, it was in the Spring. Can be googled, I'll bet. It becomes a very crowded event. The best food comes from the vendors with very long lines. You just have to queue up like everyone else. For me, the highlight was a real Floating Market Soup made rich with a lot of duck. Although we seemed to be one on the first in line, it took forever because the lady in charge seemed to be filling advanced orders. In general, the food was way hotter than you'd find in many of the area restaurants.
re: Steve
http://www.thaiembdc.org/whatsnew/son... ?
added to my calendar!
re: Minger
FYI, that link is to the festival from 1999. I'd assume that it will happen this year on the first Sunday after April 13th, but you'd probably want to confirm that before showing up.
re: Dennis S
i saw a small kaffir lime tree sapling (2 ') for sale a while back at eden center in that grocery store there. i wonder if they can get them frequently....
wouldn't it need special care inside the house? (i'm assuming that as a tropical, it needs lots of light, and a good deal of humidity,)
re: alkapal
Most dwarf citrus trees can grow OK indoors, and the ones that bear sour fruit tend to thrive without a lot of heat. I've been told that kaffir lime trees are especially indoor-friendly, though I haven't tried growing them myself.
re: Minger
I was there last year in the pouring rain and still had a great time. Parking is limited but they offer a shuttle service from the Glenmont Metro. The smell of the food on the bus was enough to make your mouth water. I stocked up on an entire flat of thai chiles for $40. I gave plants to all of my spicy food loving friends and least 45 plants in my yard. What a treat!! My lemongrass was plentiful and my kaffir lime is happily living in the window at my office.
today at thai square, i had som tum for lunch. all i can say: PURR-FECT!
fresh fresh fresh green papaya, balanced flavors. even sitting and eating by myself, i'm saying "mmmm" out loud. whatever dressing was left in the plate, i scooped it up with the spoon like soup. wow, it was delicious!
floating market soup did not send me over the moon. the meatballs were strange, a little chewy and very dense. looked like gray-ish truffles. also, it had what looked like somewhat crispy fried pork rind floating. eat first, before it gets soggy. frankly, i have had better fried pork rinds. the small slices of beef and wide, fresh rice noodles were good, and the broth was tasty. also the greens in the soup were good. cilantro plus something with a wide leaf (spinach-like)? anyone? it had a good flavor.
maybe because of the tom sum, i did not finish the meatballs or the broth. maybe i just didn't like it enough.
do people also eat rice with it on the side, like scoop rice in soup spoon, then dip into soup, then place some beef or greens on top of the rice-in-spoon, then eat?
btw, no lunch special on monday, if holiday like today (MLK).
Took Hubby last night after figuring out what from the Chow lunch we had he needed to get. Ordered the pork knuckle stew which I think is fantastic, country style curry (which we didn't have before) and crispy squid. The waitress gave me a look when I ordered the country style curry and pork knuckle stew but I reassured her.
Everything was great. And a nice combination of different things. And good leftover for me today.
I did see a noodle dish at the table next door that was orange, noodles the size of fettucine that appeared to be almost like it was in a mold (circular with flat top) with a shrimp on top. Any ideas what that was?
re: ktmoomau
It's been a few years, but I've had that curry and remember loving it. Also - the spicy squid salad(?) is very good.
re: ktmoomau
I don't know what that noodle dish is, but it sure sounds good. Also I'm still thinking about the fried egg dish that the Thai people ordered (off menu) at a neighboring table.

One of those girls..Most products don't work for me, among these failed products have been rated highly or were given rewards. I'm searching for the PERFECT liquid eyeliner. This one is not one of them. What I like about it: It doesn't smudge, the (black) color is nice and dark, and it is controllable because the tip is hard. What I hate about it: It stings, it is difficult to create a consistent line on your eyeli...read mored ( some parts can be bulkier than other parts of the line ) and the tip can become fuzzy when used on a regular basis. — 5 years agofrostfruit | 4 reviews

Dave Guilford of Automotive News sat down with Carlos Tavares, Nissan MoCo's global product chief, and the fruits of his investigative labors revealed that Infiniti has big plans over the next three years. A product push that involves a number of new models and expansion of the Infiniti brand into 90-percent of the luxury markets globally are the cornerstone of the marque, with sales likely to begin in South Korea and Russia, along with Europe in the latter half of next year.
Product-wise, Infiniti intends to bring approximately 10 new vehicles to market by the end of the decade, and although Tavares was mum on specifics, he did state that more crossovers, a "sports-oriented" car and a flagship are all part of the future lineup.

Victoria (Megan Charpentier) and her sister Lilly (Isabelle Nelisse) are near-feral orphans in the horror thrillerMama.
I was weaned on horror movies and love them inordinately, but the genre has gone to the dogs — and to the muscle bound werewolves, hormonal vampires, flesh-eating zombies, machete-wielding psychos, etc. It's also depressing how most modern horror pictures have unhappy nihilist endings in which everyone dies and the demons pop back up, unvanquished — partly because studios think happy endings are too soft, but mostly because they need their monsters for so-called "franchises."
But Mama is an entertaining step in the right, which is to say backward, direction. No, it's not original — it doesn't drill for fresh nerves. And the subtext has problems I'll talk about later. But it's a good old-fashioned ghost story, shapely and poetic, beautifully fashioned. And scary — let's not forget scary.
The director is first-timer Andy Muschietti, and the producer is Mexico-born horror maven Guillermo del Toro, who moves back and forth between popcorn genre pictures and surreal fantasies with imperiled child characters, among them Pan's Labyrinth.
Mama hinges on imperiled children, too. Lilly and Victoria are little blonde sisters who've spent five years alone in a cabin in the middle of the woods after being kidnapped by their estranged father, who'd just murdered their mother. He doesn't stick around — I won't say why. The girls are finally found by trackers hired by their uncle and, at first, they're barely recognizable as human. They hiss and claw and scamper around on all fours. The younger, Lilly, was barely a toddler when she entered that cabin. Whisked away from it, she keeps calling out, "Mama."
The girls' uncle Lucas is played by Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who cut a fine, romantic presence as the villain in last year's terrific Norwegian thriller Headhunters. But it's Lucas's live-in girlfriend, Annabel, who's the protagonist. She's played by rising — risen, really — star Jessica Chastain, her hair cut sharp and dyed raven-black, her eyes rimmed with mascara. You can't take your eyes off her, which is a good thing, because you spend a lot of time following her down dark corridors.
Annabel is a Goth rocker who doesn't want kids — we know this because in her first scene she takes a pregnancy test and breathes a sigh of relief when it's negative. So it's quite the challenge to care for two feral girls at the behest of a hovering therapist who thinks the kids need a stable home. Annabel makes her discomfort plain when the girls are delivered to her and Lucas's new suburban house, supplied by a hospital for occasions like these — you know, the feral-kids-need-a-stable-home occasions.
The movie will ultimately come down to whether Annabel can bond with these girls and, in the process, discover her own maternal instincts — the only effective weapon against the title character. I won't tell you who or what Mama is or where she came from or what she wants — but she's a ghost to conjure with cinema's eeriest, a spidery thing with a face that's a dry-rotted mask of pain and rage.
As in many modern horror films, a lot of Mama's scares come with fortissimo musical exclamation marks. But others are the result of director Muschietti's witty staging, with sight gags that make you laugh and then gasp, like the shot in which little Lilly is playing tug-of-war with her off-screen sister, Victoria and — oh, wait. There's Victoria walking down the hall. So who … ? Oh.
Fernando Velazquez's music is deliciously hammy, evoking nursery rhymes and funeral processions. And there are swirling, swooping, eye-popping expressionist dream sequences — visions, really, telepathically induced by a jealous and very volatile spirit.
The biggest problem is that the central question — whether selfish punk Annabel will find her inner mom and save the girls — is beyond old fashioned: It's reactionary. But the heartrending operatic climax sweeps you up in a more complicated question: whether either or both of these littlegirls will forsake a devoted but demonic psycho Mama for one who might be less constant but won't suck out anyone's innards.
I was guessing right till the end, which is not only satisfying — there's no potential sequel in sight.

Noun Thursday night. "We don't have a budget crisis. We have a spending crisis," he said. "You're spending more than we can afford."
Using data from the state Department of Education & Secondary Education Web site, Mr. Goulet said the Quabbin Regional School District spent $3.8 million more than Net School Spending required in fiscal '09 and $1.5 million more than NSS (Novell Storage Services) A 64-bit file system introduced with NetWare 5 that can support terabyte-sized files. NSS files and standard NetWare files can be used in the same server. See NetWare 5.

Mr. Goulet said relationships between the Quabbin towns and the school committee hit a "new low" Thursday night when the budget subcommittee refused to let the town representatives ask questions about the school budget.
He also argued the regional school district agreement states School Choice revenue would be used to reduce assessment, not to purchase more services, which he said the school committee is doing.
"Excuse me Marty, it doesn't say that," Mark Brophy countered. "If you want to talk about this another time, you may. I gave you time to talk. We're moving forward."
Mr. Brophy, a school committee member and budget subcommittee chairman, moved the question while Mr. Goulet was still trying to make his point and asking questions on the line-item budget.
After asking for months, Mr. Goulet said, the Quabbin towns finally received a copy of the line-item school budget last week, and he objected to being cut off.
"We all spent a long time reviewing the budget, had questions, and to think that we wouldn't be able to ask the questions is just ludicrous," Mr. Goulet said afterward af·ter·ward also af·ter·wards

Adv. 1. afterward - happening at a time subsequent to a reference time; "he apologized subsequently"; "he's going to the store but he'll be back here .
Mr. Goulet confronted Mr. Brophy after the conclusion of the budget subcommittee meeting and then stormed out.
During the regular committee meeting, which immediately followed the budget subcommittee meeting, Cheryl A. Duval, the acting superintendent and director of administrative services, addressed Mr. Goulet's accusations of spending more than NSS required.
In fact, she indirectly agreed with Mr. Goulet's assessment, explaining that NSS uses an outdated formula that has not increased with the level of decreases and expenses of today.
"You have heard at several meetings that the formula is antiquated, the formula is not sufficient for education funding in today's financial climate," Ms. Duval insisted. "And, to say that we're that much above minimum Net School Spending, well, yes, because Net School Spending is based on an antiquated formula."
Ms. Duval said further
review of the same Web site shows that "very, very few" districts spend at the NSS required level.
School Committee Chairman Edward F. Leonard said the Quabbin Regional School District is in the bottom 15th percentile percentile,
n the number in a frequency distribution below which a certain percentage of fees will fall. E.g., the ninetieth percentile is the number that divides the distribution of fees into the lower 90% and the upper 10%, or that fee level for school spending and they are only at that level because of School Choice. In addition, Mr. Leonard said, Quabbin is at the sixth percentile of regional school districts being supported by towns' tax dollars.
"Somehow we're overspending at a very modest level, because we're in the bottom 6 percent of what we ask them," Mr. Leonard said. "The amazing a·maze

2. Obsolete To bewilder; perplex.

Barre and Hubbardston passed the originally proposed FY10 Quabbin School District budget of $32,980,807 while Hardwick, New Braintree and Oakham rejected it in favor of a reduced assessment.
Four of the five Quabbin towns must vote in favor of the school budget. The two towns that voted for a higher number don't have to reconvene reconvene
