why dont you try starting firefox with the extesions disabled ,to see if there is still a problem .if it loads fine then you have to re enable each extension one at a time until you can find the problem extension ,if that is the case.
in the ff help tab there is the option to restart ff with add ons disabled
i had an extension work fine for a few years and then recently i experienced the same issues as yourself, i have a similar number of extensions, i managed to whittle it down to one problem add on,
it was this one...https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...verter/?src=ss
if you by chance happen to be using it start with disabling it

Been stable for a while now w 25 extensions, but after unchecking every possible auto-update function in the FF options (except for extensions). Might be coincidence, we'll see...
Could also be after I've imported my old bookmarks, so I'll delay that for a while.
In an XP install, I just skipped this Admin password option, I would never get any hassle. In Windows 7, I am and I'm unfamiliar with it. I'd prefer to read up on other stuff, so haven't gotten to it. Just wondering if my ideal "no hassles" mode is possible? [= let me be Admin or one profile all the time, w/o folder restrictions for safety purposes etc.]
Do you see those "FAST IO DISALLOWED" within Process Monitor when running the Firefox install that works well for you?
You might want to run Process Monitor and stop the data capture as soon as you get cursor control back after a Firefox freeze.
Just for a warm feeling, you might want to do a full scan using WDO...
>30 mins w/o freeze. Starting to get hopeful again. I still have to optimize some BIOS settings too, you never know...
Thx again.

Since you are running without any anti-virus software in place, it would be interesting to find out the results of a full scan with an offline scanner such as WDO.
About your admin setup: yes, it is possible to add only one user profile to the profiles that the OS makes/uses. And to have that added user be an admin with no password. The default security settings within Windows 7 protect certain folders. There might be a way around that, I've not looked into it since I like that layer of security.

Hi Gideau,
About a week ago, I experienced a simlilar slow down.
I was investigating an 'issue' with FF 15 on a different thread.
I checked all the other easy things (WU, memory, disk, sfc....) and everything reported Ok. So I began to think FF was the culprit.
I backed up my data in case there was a pending disk failure. Two days later, my machine completely bricked.
I cannot run the OEM recovery disks - an I/O error occurs. I tried the clean install using my COA and windows 7 ISO, but it took 6 hours to load windows.
So is it FF? The rest of my saga points to hardware failures.
I'm trying to figure out if UEFI is causing the I/O errors - there is a tutorial on UEFI. HP stores it's UEFI on the HP_TOOLS partition - so the two processes (seven forums tut and HP) are different.
Anyway.... back up you data NOW. I'll post back if I get anywhere on my machine. At this point I'm probably going to have to RMA it back to HP.
The good news is that I was forced to resurrect my previous machine. I thought it had bit the bullet, but was able to give it new life.
|My System Specs
|02 Oct 2012
Haven't had a freeze whole day!
My intuition is "pure luck" or rather my changes in Options > Advanced. Like I said, I mainly checked off everything to do with updates and also the spelling check and hardware acceleration (which may be a main contender, I guess, though I could never clearly relate it to a Flash problem here).
I've had pretty traumatic weeks myself. First a 5 y old startup disk crashed unrecoverably (luckily not my most important one) and then the freezes and PSU problem on the new one that took some serious research, trials and guesswork. I feel like I've lost 3 months of my life and still a lot of work transitioning from XP to Win 7.
OTOH, I was very surprised that sfc scannow and disk check gave a faultless result. Guess I'm on my way now. Just a bit weary to import bookmarks, as a previous crash happened soon after that last time.
I may get back to you with the scanning results And as soon as 3TB disks are back in stock, I'll triple backup everything. From SSD to raid 1 and from there to external. Been so stupid all these years!

The stars must have been out of alignment or something. Sounds as though you're well on your way - that's great. I'll post anything I decide to do that solves my issue. Who knows it might help someone else.

Windows 7 Pro. 64/SP-1
In post #13 Giduau (25 extensions). Is that a mis-print? The reason I ask is because I have 3 extensions in Firefox.
|My System Specs
|02 Oct 2012
I'm testing a few new ones also, so can't be sure if it will hold. But I don't seem to remember ever having clear clashes between them. I do try to read and respect it when they tell it up front of course.
Still going great. Logging off now. If it comes back within the week, I'll let you know.

The fire place is a great way to spend cool nights together. We have a large yard for playing ball and picnics. The upsatairs bathroom is new with fossil tile and a jetted bathtub and a private balcony off the kids camp room.

A professional photographer may be the best "gift" you get for your graduation…for both yourself and your parents.
Your graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime event. And from graduation announcements to photographs to share with friends and family, you want to look even better than your best. Shouldn't you entrust your senior photography to a highly trained professional photographer, someone who will do you justice?
After all, when the ceremony is done and the cap and gown are returned, your senior photography will be the lasting symbol of you at that moment. So invest in professional senior photography and hire the person who will best tell the story of you. It's your time to shine.
Kent Smith, M.Photog.MEI.Cr.

Seniors want to look 'natural'—that's what they say in our surveys. Natural does not mean not posed. They want to look right, look good. And to do that, photographers have to know about lighting and flattering the figure, doing so in a way that looks natural.
Michelle Moore

Senior year is the perfect time to take professional portraits because seniors are on the verge of a new big step…and they are starting to feel comfortable in their own skin.
Beth Forester, M.Photog.Cr., CPP
Forester Photography
A hairdresser once told me that if she gave everyone the same haircut, it would be easy…but it wouldn't be good because all faces are different. It's the same with senior portraits. You can't do the same pose, same lighting, same effects on everyone because everyone is different.

text: Let's check in with Obama's noble military allies in Syria by John Hayward 4 Sep 2013 Share This: What have the boys in the rebellion been up to, while they wait for Barack Obama to arrive with their air support? From the Associated Press: Al-Qaida-linked rebels launched an assault on a regime-held Christian mountain village in the densely populated west of Syria and new clashes erupted near the capital, Damascus, on Wednesday — part of a brutal battle of attrition each side believes it can win despite more than two years of deadlock. In the attack on the village of Maaloula, rebels commandeered a mountaintop hotel and nearby caves and shelled the community below, said a nun, speaking by phone from a convent in the village. She spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. Read more here: http://www.star-telegram.com/2013/09/04/5131845/french-parliament-to-debate-syria.html#storylink=cpy Golly. They don't seem to like Christians any more than Obama's defeated allies in Egypt do.

This is self-evident in the case of those who achieve public renown for acts of heroism, great art, or large buildings. It is also true in the smaller things of life.
As a person who has been called a pessimist or, by certain members of the medical profession, a depressive, I have come to believe that I can sometimes counter my tendencies toward a downward spiral by focusing on things outside myself.
Much as I believe that our eyes are meant for looking out at the world instead of "into the glass" at our own reflections, I have come to believe that by turning away from our baser proclivities, we can do what the world considers to be "the right thing."
For instance, if I want to be happy, I can will myself to do a good thing for someone who has a need I can fulfill. I can speak kindly to someone who is unhappy. I can listen to someone who needs to unburden himself of a private misery. I can help an old lady cross the street. I can choose to do good. It is a choice, an act of will.
Conversely, I can decide to do ill, to wound someone, to ridicule another as a loser, to push an old lady in front of a bus.
We see this everyday. We live in a world of pain-givers, people who take a fiendish delight in hurting others. I do not want to live in a world like that.
In my maturity, I have come to admire and revere that simple phrase embroidered on our pillow cushions, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
And in that spirit, I would like to tell you that I went to a play this evening...
Good night.

The Episode of the Madeleine
And with that smile, a rush of memories washed over me of a long-ago summer when I visited New York.
I remembered a certain Sunday when I passed by the real Harold Prince as I was walking down the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was leading, I assume, his children into the museum. As I came near to him, he looked at me. His eyes locked on mine, and he looked at me in much the same way as I was looking at him. But, of course, he was an important person. I was not.
During that summer, after a performance of The Misanthrope with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Alec McCowen and Diana Rigg looked at me (he was very short; she was very tall; I was the baby bear).
Crossing the street one afternoon, Bobby Short looked at me and watched me until I turned a corner.
And one evening, in a restaurant near Lincoln Center, Jerome Robbins stopped his conversation abruptly to look at me as I passed by.
What was it that they saw in that person, these people who had seen the world? Why did they pause the forward movement of their lives for a moment to look at the nondescript young man walking away?
Who was he, that boy I cannot retrieve?
I wonder.

On the Virtues of Mindlessness
Pretty much all I do is wake and sleep, watch a little mindless television while I'm awake, which helps to put me back into my own unthinking state of dusky hibernation. It's not unpleasant.
My imagination is customarily far too active and enthusiastic. It's a nice change to put it aside and turn down the volume on its alerts and alarms.
Of course, the real reason for this retreat has to do with the upcoming resumption of my theatre work (can I call what I do "theatre work"?). I'm having trouble gathering a cast for Battle of Angels, and I'm not so sure if this thing is going to be "a go."
So, since I cannot run away geographically, I mentally bolt back to my empty dark cave. It is there in that airless duskiness where potential solutions to my questions flit into view and offer me solace. You see, I believe I can do this show with the people I've got and a twist of imagination on all our parts.
But will an audience grasp what we are doing?
Should I care so much?
Or should I concentrate on the "vision thing" and let the outcome speak for itself?
That's a rhetorical question.
The consumer I have always wooed is in my empty head.

Ave atque Vale
My first thought was, I'm ashamed to say, please, sweet Jesus, don't let him ask me if he can crash with us.
I should have known better. Chester had any number of places he could stay. He had been working at a hotel on Frenchmen Street, and that was where he had ridden out the storm. There was no more food or water left there, so he was making his way back to his own place which was nearer to Johnny White's where there was food and water and other assorted beverages, the kind to make one want to sing.
But now the song is done.
Never again will we hear him take his leave with the explanation that he had to check the "bear traps" he'd left scattered around the Quarter.
No one is left to "scratch his cat."
And he will never rebuke us again saying, "You don't wanna go dere," or "Let's take it outside."
His nom de carre may have been Chester the Molester, but his molestations were of the ticklish kind that lifted you into a jolly mood and left you there long after he had slipped away.
Chester had the gift of love.
I raise a last glass and offer a final salute to my friend: Hoo-ee!

Paving Paradise
Time was, Bobby and I were the only two people either one of us knew who were watching this show. Nobody else could be bothered. Hell, nobody else seemed to know it was on. We had it all to ourselves, a tiny park of wit and civility surrounded by acres and acres of ka-pow action shows, over-miked sitcoms, and whatever else sells deodorants and laxatives these days.
Now, they've gone and paved our little paradise and put up a parking lot. And as you very well know, if you build it—a parking lot, I mean—they will come. And come and come and come. Even if there isn't enough room for all the cars.
It might be time for me to stop watching.
This has happened to me before. Some years ago, HBO came out with that show about life in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I watched that one, and I was enjoying it, too, until I started seeing how some of my friends and neighbors were getting real proprietary over it, like it was their story, like it was all about them and what they had gone through. It didn't help if you tried to point out that they weren't black or that they didn't know which end to blow on a horn or that they had only just moved here from Massachusetts seven months after the flood waters had receded. That was their life, man, up there on that screen, with all of its heartaches and passing joys and more heartaches and disenfranchisements and callous beatings from the man! Damn.
Lot of power in that TV. Somebody ought to try to channel it for good.

Just Another Day in Paradise
I don't remember taking any tumbles, whereas I took a few in 2011. I hurt my right arm painting doors in the apartment, but that's easing up now. Who knows, I may be lifting weights by the spring, getting myself all hot for the summer. Then again, probably not. Lifting weights implies getting up off my butt, and sitting on my butt is my natural state.
As you can probably surmise, I'm not one to make resolutions, New Year's or otherwise. I just go with the flow.
Besides, what's the big deal about a new year or New Year's Day as a holiday? Our advertisers don't tell us to go out and buy anything. It's not a time to gather with family. What's up with that?
No, it's just a time when everybody hits the streets to surround themselves with strangers and get soused enough to not remember the next day if that was a cherry bomb they popped or a Glock. We already have Mardi Gras. This is like practice.
Just another day.

A funny commercial! :-)
Here are some that I found surfing the web:
1. Why do you think Mozart composed most of his operas in Italian rather than in German?
2. According to UNESCO (the cultural and educational agency for the United Nations) the most of the world's cultural heritage sites are in Italy.
3. Italy is one of the top economies in the world, and many employers are seeking people who speak both Italian and English. An estimated 7,500 American companies do business with Italy and more than 1,000 U.S. firms have offices in Italy, including Chrysler, IBM, General Electric, Motorola, Citibank. Many Italian firms have offices in the U.S.
4. If you like arts, music, design, architecture, opera, food, etc. this is the reference language. Knowing Italian is greatly beneficial in several career fields. Italy is a world leader in the culinary arts, interior design, fashion, graphic design, furniture design, machine tool manufacturing, robotics, electromechanical machinery, shipbuilding, space engineering, construction machinery, and transportation equipment
5. The Italian language is the closest to Latin, the common ancestor of all romance languages.
6. Italian developed from Latin and an estimated 60 percent of the English vocabulary also comes from Latin. Knowing Italian may help improve your scores in English.
7. No need of subtitles to see Fellini's, Visconti's and Pasolini's movies!
8. A recent study showed that enrollment in Italian language classes at U.S. high schools and colleges is growing 15 to 20% faster than enrollment rates for Spanish, German and French.
9. Italian is recognized as one of the most beautiful spoken languages on the planet
10. Italian has the highest number of words for describing food!
Students, what are your reasons?

« Una mattina mi son svegliato,

Una mattina mi son svegliato
e ho trovato l'invasor.
O partigiano, portami via,
o bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
O partigiano, portami via,
ché mi sento di morir.
E se io muoio da partigiano,
o bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
E se io muoio da partigiano,
tu mi devi seppellir.
E seppellire (Mi porterai) lassù in (sulla) montagna,
o bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
E seppellire (Mi porterai) lassù in (sulla) montagna
sotto l'ombra di un bel fior.
E (Tutte) le genti che passeranno
o bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
E (Tutte) le genti che passeranno
Mi diranno «Che bel fior!»
«È questo il fiore del partigiano»,
o bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
«È questo il fiore del partigiano
morto per la libertà!» »

Two young men were charged with sexually abusing a seven-year-old boy at Rebala village in Buchireddypalem mandal in Nellore district on Tuesday.
The police said that T. Srinivasulu and Jashua, aged around 20 years, committed the offence on the boy and they used to show him porn video clips in their cell phones. The incident happened about a month ago but it came to light now as the boy shared it with his relatives during his visit to Bitragunta for summer vacation.
Buchireddypalem sub-inspector Dasaratharamaiah said that the two young men belonging to the same village have been absconding since the boys' relatives made the complaint.
A case was registered under section 377 read with 34 IPC for homosexual misbehaviour. Investigation is under way.

November 28, 2014
The Oneida County Sheriff's Department says one person is in custody after a chase and standoff in Rhinelander Tuesday morning.
Deputies say contact was made with a suspect in a number of burglaries in the area in the parking lot of America's Best Value Inn just before 11 a.m.
Deputies say the suspect, identified as Robert Flick, 51, fled in a vehicle and led officers on a pursuit through Rhinelander, ultimately ending on Sugarbush Road where the vehicle became stuck in the snow.
Flick did threaten to harm himself, but was taken into custody without incident.
The release did not say what charges Flick is facing.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Lee County Domestic Animal Services is urging all pet owners to vaccinate their dogs against parvo-virus. The agency has been investigating numerous cases of animal neglect including dogs that have contracted the virus and were left to suffer.
"The parvo-virus is highly contagious, expensive to treat, and often fatal despite treatment," warns LCDAS veterinarian, Suzanne Vazzana.
LCDAS recommends owners with new puppies to see their veterinarian for vaccinations beginning at six to eight weeks of and age with boosters given every three weeks until puppies are 16 weeks old. Owners should continue to follow their veterinarian's recommended schedule for vaccines to ensure protection against this deadly virus and limit their pet's exposure to questionable areas.
Parvo-virus is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces. It can be especially severe in puppies that are not protected by maternal antibodies or vaccination. The common signs are severe vomiting and diarrhea. The virus can live in organic matter, such as soil, for over a year. Victims of this virus die of dehydration as the virus attacks the intestinal lining.
It is extremely important to animal shelters that the public vaccinate their pets, as these are the same pets that might end up at the shelter if they get lost. LCDAS has taken a proactive role in the community and vaccinates all dogs entering the shelter against the parvo-virus.
More information about proper pet care and a list of local veterinary, emergency, and low-cost clinics, is available at http://www.leelostpets.com.

Canada, 1973 (MIFF 1974)
Director: Michael Scott
Made from some sixty days and nights of filming of routine police work in Montreal, Station 10 is a view of life in the inner city that few ordinary citizens are likely to see in any other way. It is a portrait of police and of the people whose predicaments often require police help.
Here the policeman appears not only as society's brake on criminal activity, but also as preventer of crime, as marriage counsellor, as peacemaker, as the friendly arm, supporting those weakened by age, infirmity, strong drink and, nowadays, drugs.

Giants QB ready to follow his brother on show Brad Biggs
Eli Manning dodged "Saturday Night Live" the first time he won the Super Bowl because of big brother.
Peyton Manning had been on the NBC prime-time show the year before and gotten big reviews. Eli Manning didn't want to follow up so closely on the heels of him.
Now, coming off his second Super Bowl championship and five years after Peyton Manning did the show, Eli Manning will give it a go this Saturday night. Eli Manning said he will "let it loose" in an effort to show more personality and humor than his brother.
"I think that's the good thing about 'Saturday Night Live,' you can kind of come in and maybe express a different side that people don't see," Eli Manning said, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News. "Maybe that's not you at all times, but for this night you can kind of let loose.
"I think that's one thing I'd say about Peyton and I. We don't mind making fun of myself or letting the jokes be at our own expense. I think it's important to have that attitude going into this week."
Eli Manning has been rehearsing this week and believes he's ready. It's a little bit of pressure, though, especially following his popular brother.
"One of the main reasons I did not do it was Peyton had done so well the previous year," Eli Manning said. "I thought it might be a little fresh in everyone's mind. So I didn't want to have to go up against a tough competition and the great job that he performed.
"When I got the invite this year I definitely wanted to try to make it work. I kind of remember to saying to Lorne (Michaels) in 2008), 'I do want to do the show at one point. I just want to do it maybe after my next championship.'"
It's Peyton Manning who now trails his brother when it comes to championships. We'll see Saturday how they stack up in terms of comedy.

Georgia's recruiting haul went from none to two quickly on Saturday when a pair of players gave verbal commitments to coach Mark Fox that fill needs in the front court and fill up spots available in the Bulldogs' recruiting class.
Fox got pledges from power forward Yante Maten and center Fred Iduwe just days after he received a two-year contract extension.
Maten, a 6-foot-8, 230-pounder from Bloomfield Hills (Mich.) High School gave his commitment Saturday to Fox and assistant Jonas Hayes, Bloomfield Hills coach Duane Graves said.
"I am officially a bulldog!," Maten tweeted.
The 6-foot-11, 225-pound Iduwe played for St. John's Northwestern Military Academy in Delafield, Wis., outside Milwaukee.
Georgia had a need in the post, where it lost senior Donte' Williams and reserve center John Cannon, who is transferring.
Maten is a three-star rated prospect by Scout.com. TCU coach Trent Johnson, Fox's good friend, helped connect Georgia with Maten, according to Graves.
"They're getting a stretch four, a guy that can play inside and outside," Graves said. "He's an ultimate team player, a hard worker and classy individual."
The four-year varsity starter was named the Gatorade Michigan Player of the Year and had offers from Indiana and Michigan State.
"He made the right decision for the best fit for him and his family," Graves said.
Maten averaged 19.5 points, 15.2 rebounds, 6.9 blocks and 4.8 assists this past season and shot 66 percent from the floor this season playing for the suburban Detroit school.
Iduwe, who is from Nigeria, called Fox Saturday evening.
"He can add significantly more weight to his frame," said Bryan Clayton, his prep school coach. "He has an unbelievable motor. He's a rim protector. He's very raw and right now he's physical enough to help them defensively. He's really going to develop. He hasn't been playing basketball very long."
Iduwe's other offers came from North Dakota and Wisconsin-Green Bay.
He drew interest in the past week from Georgia Tech, New Mexico, Dayton and St. John's.

Ocean beach, San diego. Where to eat.
- p
- pulled pork Aug 2, 2009 04:33 PM
Hi all. Staying in Ocean beach area. In need of non touristy delicious fair priced authentic Mexican food. Being from NYC everyone says we have no idea what real Mexican food tastes like. So here we are asking for advice.
Also interested in seafood and other local hits. We do have a baby with us most of the time so it will be early dinners and not super expensive, etc... Will have 1 date night this week for the good place.
Thanks in advance for the help.
re: Dagney
Qwiggs has been closed for several years.
re: Dagney
I like the happy hour at south beach for inexpensive, decent oysters and 1/2 price appetizers. I think they do not allow anyone under 21 in the place as it is a bar not a restaurant, and so it could be a problem to bring the baby.
It is definitely not a nice date type place, and is not "real" Mexican food, but I think it is worthwhile.
Ortega's Cocina at Newport and Cable is going to be your best bet for Mexican in that part of town. They make some very good food, and at dinner often have really nice specials. Another place that's decent, but not as good, is Rancho's Cocina on Sunset Cliffs and Niagara.
South Beach is a common recommendation for fish tacos, but they're just OK. Very Americanized, with yellow cheese, ranch dressing, and flour tortillas.
Another place I'd recommend, with lots of couching and caveats, is Nati's, but I have to emphasize that it is completely inauthentic in every way. It's very Americanized, and is not the place to go expecting a virtual trip to Mexico. That said, for California-style gringo Mexican food, it's quite tasty. The main point of interest is that it's really old, and has been there since the '60s. There's a funny picture up from 16 Magazine ca. 1976 with Shaun Cassidy sporting the Nati's logo on his t-shirt. The biggest reason I include this is because it's probably the family-friendliest dining spot in all of OB, where nobody will look askance at you bringing an infant. South Beach is a bar, and it's not really a kid-oriented atmosphere. Certain items there should never be ordered (carne asada, fish tacos). Good items are ground beef tacos, and cheese or ground beef enchiladas. Anything else is likely to disappoint.
Another place worth your time is the Lighthouse Ice Cream parlor, which is next to South Beach. Skip the ice cream, and head for the freezer case. It's stocked with frozen fruit bars from Oasis, which is a locally owned, tiny shop that makes really delicious bars from fresh fruit.
For Cuban (or regular) coffee, nice meat-filled pastry, great cookies and desserts, I recommend Azucar at the top (away from the beach) of Newport. Everything made fresh, and they take pride in what they do.
For date night, try 3rd Corner, even if you have baby in tow. Its a bistro and wine bar with really good food and a great wine selection, but it's definitely not stuffy. I haven't been impressed with Thee Bungalow since the Cohen's took over and it's much more expensive. A more casual place is Pepe's Italian. It's just a local fun pasta joint.
If you want a cheap and easy taste of SD Mexican, go in to Nico's on Newport Ave, and order a carne asada burrito. Heaven.
Definitely check out South Beach for the fish tacos, although I am not sure they will allow babies in there anymore. I second 3rd corner for date night.
If you will be in OB, you can't miss HODAD's for bugers. The place is loud and the line looks long, but it moves very quickly. No Shoes No Shirt no Problem is their slogan.
They have some of the best burgers and shakes around. I would suggest sharing a shake, they are large with a giant scoop of ice cream on the side.
They have been featured on Diners and Dives and CNN. It is almost like the Yogiism, "It is so crowded that no one goes there anymore."
My parents enjoy the 3rd Corner. You buy your wine in their wine shop and bring it into the resteraunt.
Hey all, thanks for the recs. My sister in law (lives here) sent us to Nicks for dinner. Must say that the fish entrees were very very good, price was fair and the view was awesome. Nice sunset walk before dinner and stroll up Newport after. Nicks was very baby and family friendly. You all live in a beautiful town. Would love to come home to OB each day after work. I think we might try 3rd corner for dinner after sunset and wine on the beach. Will also try 2 of the Mexican places as well.
re: pulled pork
Just remember that alcohol is now banned on the beach, so be careful.
re: pulled pork
If it's down to one of those two, I'd suggest Super Cocina. Aqui Es Texcoco is awesome, but they only have a handful of items. Super Cocina has a broader selection of dishes to choose from.
re: Captain Jack
Thanks guys. SC it shall be.
re: pulled pork
We went to Super Cocina! Loved it. HAd two combo plates.
Pork chunks in gravy
Roast pork
Beef stew
Nice, nice, nice.
re: pulled pork
Awesome. That place is a gem.
Don't miss out on Pepe's on Sunset between Niagara and Narragansett. It's Italian, not Mexican but you will like the place. Homemade pasta, fresh salads, congenial atmosphere. Very local, family oriented, reasonable.
Ortegas are probably the most creative Poma's have good take out sandwiches, and anything from Olive Tree Deli is a winner. Good Pastrami sand.
Super Cocina is fabulous but Texcoco you don't want to miss, it's worth the trip. Real McCoy and you can't find this stuff everywhere. Even their drinks are superior..fabulous horchata and jamaica..don't go for the canned sodas. Do try their flan, it's excellent.
re: P Macias
Went to Ortegas for lunch. Excellent stuff and very nice staff. Chef was friendly and talked recipes. Also loved South Beach bar and grill. Fantastic ceviche (a bit different and sweet), loved the mahi taco and the fried fish taco.
Went to a drive through Robertos (or is it Rolandos?) by Midway and the Stadium. YUK! Needed drive through because we were wearing towels only. Just horrible, salty, bloated and gassy. Not a pretty evening my friends.
Thanks for all the advice. Can't wait to get back to SD one day. Torre pines for the trails and beach, Ocean beach for just plain relaxing and the amazing weather. You people are pretty damn cool too.
hanging with our dogs at dog beach this weekend...we headed to Azucar for their famous guava filled cream cheese pastry..$1.50 of pure pastry love..
Hodad's line is out of control..best to call ahead for a To Go order and don't wait in line with the sheep and eat your burger on the beach.

Four Las Vegas-area natives braved thick mud and brisk mid-winter weather to represent the Meadow City in this past weekend's Corrida de los Locos.
Corrida de los Locos, held at the Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe golf course, is a 5.8-mile race that has become an annual tradition.
• Longtime Las Vegan Tony Gallegos, now a resident of Española, placed sixth overall with a time of 43 minutes and 52 seconds. Gallegos, 46, finished third in his age group. Gallegos retains strong ties to the Meadow City, which is home to much of his family members.
The late-season surge continues for the New Mexico Highlands men's basketball team, which recorded double-digit wins over Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference West Division foes Fort Lewis and Adams State this past weekend.
Coach Joe Harge's Cowboys (16-7, 10-5) have won seven straight games and play their final regular-season home game Tuesday night against Colorado State-Pueblo.
SANTA FE — The only wrestling team in the district to field grapplers in all 14 weight classes, St. Michael's advanced most of them to the championship round Saturday.
In the process, the Horsemen snapped Robertson's 12-year monopoly on the District 1A-3A title, taking the banner on its home floor at Perez-Shelley Gymnasium.
Mora's Rangers are riding the momentum of three key recent victories, two of them nailbiters.
Mora 69, Mesa Vista 68
Mora visited Ojo Caliente Jan. 30 to face the Mesa Vista Trojans in a non-district rematch. The teams had met in the first round of the NRG Tournament earlier in the season, and the seven-point loss had left a bitter taste with coach Hank Laumbach and the Rangers.
"It was as if we didn't get off the bus that day," Laumbach said. "We knew driving away that we let one slip away."
After knocking off two different wrestlers ranked No. 1 in the nation this season, Seth Wright is finally getting his turn at the top.
Wright, New Mexico Highlands University's 125-pounder, this past week ascended to the No. 1 ranking within his weight class in NCAA Division II, NMHU's sports information office reported.
Wright is a two-time RMAC Wrestler of the Week this season.
Pojoaque Valley took a step closer to another district title in girls' basketball over the weekend, and the Santa Fe Indian School boys show no signs of slowing in their pursuit of a championship.
Meanwhile, for the Meadow City's prep hoopsters, it's been a mixed bag of fortunes the past few days.
Ranked third nationally in the triple jump and fifth in the pentathlon, New Mexico Highlands' Angella Graham could be the school's strongest contender for an NCAA Division II national championship.
Graham qualified for this spring's national indoor meet with performances at separate University of New Mexico-hosted meets this past month.
West Las Vegas' boys' basketball team stepped into the cellar of District 2-3A on Wednesday, and former cellar-dweller Raton escaped at the Dons' expense.
The host Tigers surged late in the first half to blow open a close game, and they'd end up winning 65-48.
With identical 1-6 district records and a split of the regular-season series, WLV and Raton are technically tied for fifth place. But because the Tigers won by 19 compared to West's 47-41 victory back on Jan. 23, they own the tiebreaker.
Robertson and host St. Michael's again treated fans to a close, entertaining boys' basketball game, but the Horsemen evened the season series with a 47-42 win Wednesday night at Perez-Shelley Gymnasium.
The loss dropped the Cardinals to 15-6 and 3-4, good for fourth in the District 2-3A chase with three games left for each district team. St. Mike's is 14-9, 5-2, sandwiched between Santa Fe Indian (7-0) and Pojoaque (4-3) in the standings.
The following is an interview with Luna Community College softball coach Meredith Gilpin.

The Spice Of Life Lyrics - Everything But The Girl
Review The Song (1)
something has come between me and the world that knew
what I thought would last is falling apart in the face of something new
how can I explain that I had no choice
the sound of the waves fills her ears and drowns out my voice
and I'm just too far away for her to believe what I say
she couldn't hear me, she wouldn't listen anyway
how can I write a letter the post is so slow
if I'm to disappoint her then that's something she ought to know
I can just hear her voice fall as I wait here alone
how can so much harm be done by just two minutes spent on the phone
you say that things will get better
but she would hate me if I let her
and she reads so much in every word that I say
I thought that being apart would just bring us some variety
but after some time it seems clear that she's changed in a different way from
and I would like to shout at someone but no one's to blame
it's just her it's just me and everything that is
just not the same
sometimes I would turn back the clock
and recapture all that we've lost
but I couldn't give up all that we have today

During your junior and/or senior years, you then conduct research under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Prior to graduation, you write a thesis and provide an oral presentation on your findings, which, if approved by an examining committee, earns you a bachelor's degree "with Honors."
