Krizia Playsuit – McCall's 6624
September 30, 2014 § 9 Comments
It's officially fall now, but the recent warm weather gave Naomi and me the chance to photograph my late 1970s Krizia playsuit, made using McCall's 6624. (See my post on Krizia patterns here).
The playsuit bodice and shorts are pleated into a pointed, one-piece midriff band, and the whole thing closes at the front with a zipper and buttons. I love the shaped side vents on the shorts.
I used a black glitter stretch knit from my stash, found at Fabricland's old downtown location. The pattern needed extensive resizing. Due to the mid-1970s unofficial sizing change (thanks to Peter for drawing my attention to this) the 10 was fine on top. (That's my copy on the wiki.) I added some ease to the midriff band and adjusted the bodice and shorts to match up to it. I also lengthened the rise, added to the crotch length, and slashed to add some room in the hips. Yes, it's a stretch knit, but I was trying to be faithful to the ease of the original.
This was my first time sewing a McCall's "Carefree" pattern, and I found the instructions involved a little guesswork. I have also made up a '70s Vogue pattern with similar design elements—midriff band, pleated dirndl skirt—and can vouch for Vogue's more extensive markings and instructions. The McCall's didn't even have markings for the buttonholes. I carefully followed Vogue Sewing Book's buttonhole instructions, but I suspect I made them too big. Perhaps vertical buttonholes would solve the problem?
If I were to make the playsuit again, I would add markings to the midriff piece to help line up the side seams etc., and also ease stitch across all the pleats (rather than just hand basting) to keep everything in place. The instructions say to finish the shorts with a narrow hem; I couldn't see that working with my knit and the shaped side vents, so I did my best to mimic a serger finish (zigzag, trim, topstitch) and pressed the sides into relative submission. If I were making it again I would use fusible stay tape.
We photographed the playsuit by a local graffiti mural by Anser and Chou.
The sparkle only shows up close:
Here's a view of the back pleats:
The playsuit is so strappy, short, and unstructured that it falls more into the realm of loungewear. It's a bit more practical when worn with a coverup.

The Fantastic Mr Fox: Style Patterns by Frederick Fox
June 17, 2014 § 5 Comments
Ascot begins today. To celebrate, this post is dedicated to commercial patterns by the late milliner to the Queen, Frederick Fox.
(Last year I featured a free pattern for a Stephen Jones hat; see it here.)
Born in Australia to a large family, Frederick Fox (1931-2013) showed an early interest in millinery, refashioning hats for his mother and five sisters in rural New South Wales. After training with several milliners in Sydney, in 1958 he moved to London. By 1964, Fox had taken over Langée to open his own salon.
Fox's royal commission for Queen Elizabeth II grew out of his work with Hardy Amies in the mid-1960s. Shortly before this commission began, he designed the white leather crash helmets in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Fox was known for his witty designs, made with fine materials and great technical skill; he is credited with inventing the fascinator. (For more on Frederick Fox, see the recent D*Hub article and Stephen Jones' reminiscence for British Vogue.)
In the mid- to late 1980s, Frederick Fox millinery patterns were available from Style Patterns. Frederick Fox patterns display the Royal Warrant,* which he held from 1974 until his retirement in 2002.
Style 4788 is a pattern for bridal headpieces and veils. Included are both double- and single-layered veils, attached to three bases: a rose circlet edged with Russian braid, a beaded Juliet cap, and a twisted fabric headband. (The rose circlet may be worn alone.) View 1 was photographed with Style 4787, a bridal gown by Murray Arbeid, Fox's companion of over 50 years:
Style 1072 is a pattern for a set of hats, including a beret, a turban, and a turban headband:
Do you remember the '80s hair ornament trend? Style 1157 is a pattern for a set of hair ornaments: a rosette with attached veil, a hair slide with large or small bow in 2 fabrics; and a headband with 2-fabric bow with optional diamante trim:
Style 1249 is a unusual for offering a set of bridal hats: a hat with attached veil and narrow brim turned up at the back, and two wide-brimmed, crownless hats (both attached to headbands):
The original owner of my copy of Style 1249 had enclosed magazine pages showing these bridal designs; the text reads, "Head Turners: Hats for that special day by Frederick Fox exclusively for Style." It may be that, like McCall's designer patterns in the 1950s, these hats, veils, and headpieces were designed especially for Style Patterns.
* The Queen's current milliner Rachel Trevor-Morgan is the only milliner on the current list of warrant holders.
Vintage Designer Menswear: Vogue Patterns
June 15, 2014 § 5 Comments
It's been some time since Vogue offered designer menswear patterns. In the 1970s and 1980s, home sewers could choose from licensed designs for everything from men's shirts to outerwear and three-piece suits. In celebration of Father's Day, here's a selection of vintage menswear patterns from Vogue Patterns.
Vogue introduced designer menswear patterns in the early 1970s with designs by Bill Blass and Pierre Cardin. From Cardin, Vogue 2918 is a double-breasted coat in two lengths:
1975 saw the release of some his-and-hers Valentino patterns. Vogue 1180, a men's jacket and pants pattern, was photographed with a women's Valentino ensemble, Vogue 1178:
Polo by Ralph Lauren was introduced to Vogue customers in the summer of 1975. The safari-style Vogue 1237 and 1238 were photographed in India:
Also by Polo Ralph Lauren, Vogue 1581 is a double-breasted trench coat with detachable lining:
This Christian Dior shirt-jacket and pants is the only men's Dior pattern I've seen:
This snappy three-piece suit is by Bill Blass:
There were two menswear patterns by Yves Saint Laurent: safari suits photographed by Chris von Wangenheim (see Paco's related post here):
Givenchy licensed a trim three-piece suit, Vogue 2112:
In 1979 the company released a trio of menswear patterns by Calvin Klein—separate patterns for a shirt, jacket, and pants. Vogue 2256 is a pattern for slim, tapered men's pants; view B is low-rise and flat-front:
The menswear releases tapered off in the 1980s. 1980 saw the release of two Bill Blass men's patterns, for a three-piece suit and close-fitting shirt:
In 1988 Vogue released three menswear patterns by Perry Ellis, for a jacket, shirt, and pants. Vogue 2207 is a loose-fitting jacket:
Just for fun, I'll close with this Pierre Cardin robe and pajamas, which included a logo appliqué:
With menswear sales catching up with womenswear, perhaps Vogue Patterns will capitalize on this trend by restoring menswear to its designer licensing. I'd be first in line for a Saint Laurent pattern…
Happy Father's Day!
Free Designer Pattern: Patrick Kelly One-Seam Coat
May 5, 2014 § 5 Comments
As part of its current exhibition, Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is sharing a pattern for a one-seam coat designed by Patrick Kelly in 1984. (See my post on Patrick Kelly's Vogue patterns here.)
After Kelly moved to Paris in 1979, he worked as a costume designer for Le Palace nightclub while also selling his coats on the sidewalk of the Boulevard Saint-Germain. When he secured a stall at Les Puces de Saint-Ouen, the famous Porte de Clignancourt flea market, his raw-edged jersey tube dresses caught the attention of his first backer, Françoise Chassagnac of Victoire. Thanks to Chassagnac's connections, Kelly's entire collection was featured in Elle magazine:
Although the Philadelphia Museum of Art's coat dates to 1985, the design is the same as those Kelly sold on the Boulevard Saint-Germain.
Kelly's one-seam coat would become a recurring feature in the designer's work. A rethinking of Cristóbal Balenciaga's iconic 1961 one-seam coat, it may have been inspired by Issey Miyake's cocoon coat—Kelly was once the house guest of Miyake's publicist, Victoria Rivière, in Paris.
The original coat is a quilted cotton knit. It has a simple revers opening in front, box pleats in the back, and batwing sleeves formed by the shoulder seam:
These technical drawings show the coat front and back:
Download the one-seam coat pattern
Size: One size fits all
Fabric requirements: About 3.5 yards (3.2 m) of 60″ (~150 cm) fabric
Recommended fabrics: Fabrics with a good hand and drape, e.g. double knits and double-faced fabrics. The original is a quilted single knit.
Finished length: 52″ (132 cm)
Pattern length from top to bottom: 57.5″ (146 cm)
Tips, caveats: No separate instructions; scale and seam allowances are not marked. The coat must be cut on the cross grain. The original coat has a simple turn and stitch finish, with a sleeve binding piece for the sleeve openings.
A Parisian friend of Kelly's has posted instructions to make a doll-scale version based on her Patrick Kelly original.
Thanks to Monica Brown, Senior Collections Assistant, Costume and Textiles, for answering questions about the project, and Paula M. Sim, Costume and Textiles intern, for drafting the pattern.
Patrick Kelly: Vogue Patterns
April 29, 2014 § 6 Comments
This past weekend, the exhibition Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love opened at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. (Read WWD's coverage here.) The show is the second Patrick Kelly retrospective since the designer's death from AIDS in 1990. (The first was the Brooklyn Museum's Patrick Kelly: A Retrospective in 2004.)
Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, Patrick Kelly (1954-1990) found success as an expatriate in Paris: he was the first American, and also the first black designer, to be elected to the Chambre syndicale du prêt-à-porter. Much of Kelly's work references his southern, African-American heritage through the use of vibrant colour, buttons and bows, and reappropriated black memorabilia motifs such as watermelons and golliwogs. (Patrick Kelly shopping bags emblazoned with his golliwog logo, as seen in the above photo, were deemed too controversial to be used in the United States.)
Between 1988 and 1991, Vogue Patterns licensed Patrick Kelly designs, first in the Individualist line and later as Paris Originals. Here is a selection of Patrick Kelly sewing patterns, grouped by collection.
1. Patrick Kelly Spring/Summer 1988 prêt-à-porter
Vogue Patterns' licensing began with Kelly's Spring/Summer 1988 collection, his first under contract with Warnaco. This collection played with the culture and racial stereotypes of the American south. (Watch a YouTube video of the collection starting here.) Vogue 2077, the first of several Patrick Kelly patterns featuring African-American model Gail O'Neill, is a flamboyant peplum suit with back bow:
The suit seems to have made the cover of Vogue Patterns magazine:
Vogue 2078 is a tiered, off-the-shoulder dress for stretch knits:
More knit dresses from this collection can be seen in this photo by Oliviero Toscani, the photographer best known for his controversial Benetton ads:
2. Patrick Kelly Fall/Winter 1988-89 prêt-à-porter
Variations on the heart motif characterized Kelly's Fall 1988 collection, entitled More Love; the collection was later included in "Heart Strings," a touring fundraiser for the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA). Vogue 2165 is a long-sleeved, colour-blocked dress with heart-shaped bodice:
A version with red contrast can be seen in Toscani's ad campaign; the red bodice also appeared in the bridal look that closed the collection. Given the 'love' theme, it's surprising that the red version was not photographed for the Vogue pattern:
Vogue 2304, a stretch-knit dress with Kelly's trademark buttons applied in a rainbow triangle, is visible in the Toscani photo at the top of this post:
3. Patrick Kelly Spring/Summer 1989 prêt-à-porter
Having just been elected to the Chambre syndicale in June 1988, Kelly showed a Mona Lisa-themed collection for Spring 1989 in the courtyard of the Louvre. Vogue 2286 is a pattern for a full skirt, wide-legged pants, and a double-breasted top with notched shawl collar:
The red version of the top can be seen in this campaign photo by Oliviero Toscani:
4. Patrick Kelly Fall/Winter 1989 prêt-à-porter
Presented the year of the bicentenary of French Revolution, Kelly's final collection was conceived as a celebration of France and America. Vogue 2385 is a shawl-effect dress designed for stretch knits; the contrast front inset extends into a shoulder drape. The illustration's red drape version may be seen in Runway of Love:
The grey stripe version was featured in the Fall/Winter 1989 ad campaign:
Vogue 2556 is a button-studded ensemble consisting of jacket, skirt, and coat. The design requires forty-one buttons for the jacket alone:
The Vogue 2556 jacket and skirt were photographed for this Apollo Landing-themed campaign image:
A hot pink version, included in the Philadelphia exhibit, has a matching hat and cape, and rainbow buttons:
Despite covering only two years, the sewing patterns are an excellent sample of Kelly's bold and playful work.
Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love runs through

Mad Men Era 9: Butterick's Young Designers
April 24, 2014 § 2 Comments
My series on Mad Men-era designer patterns concludes this week with three Butterick Young Designers: Mary Quant, Jean Muir, and Emmanuelle Khanh.
In 1964, Butterick launched its Young Designers line, appealing to the youth market by licensing the work of up-and-coming, international fashion designers. The line would continue through the 1970s with the addition of new designers like Betsey Johnson, Jane Tise, and Kenzo. (For more on the Young Designers line see The Vintage Traveler's Butterick Young Designers page.)
Mary Quant
Mary Quant (b. 1934) was the first designer to be signed to the new pattern line. Born in London, Quant met Archie McNair and her future husband, Alexander Plunket Greene, at art school; together they opened a boutique on the King's Road, Bazaar, in 1955, selling Quant's fun, youthful designs. Quant is perhaps most famous as a pioneer of the miniskirt. Butterick released its first Quant patterns, featuring Celia Hammond photographed by Terence Donovan, in the fall of 1964.
Butterick 5475 is a mini-length shirt dress with plenty of details including epaulets, side slits, and a self-buttoned belt:
Jean Muir
Also born in London, Jean Muir (1928-1995) showed an early talent for dressmaking and needlework. During the 1950s, after working her way up from the stockroom at Liberty, she was hired as designer for Jaeger; she stayed with Jaeger until 1962, when she founded her first label, Jane & Jane. She launched her eponymous label in 1966. Muir was known for her fluid dresses with charming dressmaker details.
Butterick introduced Jean Muir patterns in the spring of 1965. This short, high-waisted dress dates to the late 1960s; the bodice front and slashed, modified raglan bell sleeves fasten with rows of tiny buttons:
Emmanuelle Khanh
Born in Paris as Renée Mésière, Emmanuelle Khanh (b. 1937) married avant-garde industrial designer Quasar Khanh in the late 1950s, around the same time that she began working as a house model for Balenciaga and Givenchy. Turning her hand to fashion design, Khanh was soon at the forefront of yé-yé fashion (Paris' answer to Youthquake), designing for brands including Cacharel and Missoni before launching her own label in 1969. (Read a 1964 LIFE magazine article about Khanh here.) Today her company focuses on accessories, particularly eyewear.
Butterick introduced Emmanuelle Khanh sewing patterns in the fall of 1965. This turquoise, suit-effect dress creates interesting effects with topstitching and collar details:
The pattern is Butterick 3718. (Thanks to Jessica Hastings of myvintagevogue for confirming the number.) This photo shows a full-length view of the dress:
It's interesting to see an established company like Butterick responding to contemporary Sixties youth culture, facilitating access to Youthquake and yé-yé fashion in the process.
Mad Men Era 8: McCall's New York Designers
April 14, 2014 § 1 Comment
With Mad Men entering its final season, my Mad Men-era series concludes with two posts on fashion designers whose work became available to home sewers in the mid-Sixties. (Browse the series by clicking the Mad Men era tag, or start at the beginning.)
Before the Vogue Americana line there was McCall's New York Designers' Collection. In the fall of 1965, McCall's introduced a new pattern line: New York Designers' Collection plus 1. (The "plus 1" refers to one foreign designer, Digby Morton; later, as McCall's added designers to the line, it became "New York Designers' Collection Plus.")
The Fall/Winter 1965 issue of McCall's Pattern Fashions & Home Decorating introduced readers to the new designers. According to the catalogue, the new line featured "the most outstanding fashions of seven leading American designers and one famous London couturier" (click to enlarge):
The original list of designers consisted of Larry Aldrich, Geoffrey Beene, Bill Blass, Laird-Knox, Digby Morton, Originala, Mollie Parnis, and Pauline Trigère, whose agreement with McCall's dated to the mid-1950s. (Trigère was already featured in an earlier Mad Men era post.) Later additions would include Anne Klein, Jacques Tiffeau, and Rudi Gernreich.
This post looks at three of the best-known American designers in McCall's new line: Bill Blass, Geoffrey Beene, and Anne Klein.
Bill Blass
Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Bill Blass (1922-2002) showed an early talent for fashion design, studying briefly at Parsons before enlisting in the U.S. military in 1942. After the war he returned to New York to work in the fashion industry; by 1959 he was head designer for Maurice Rentner—then a conservative, established Seventh Avenue label. (McCall's patterns credit the designer as 'Bill Blass for Maurice Rentner, Ltd.') In 1970 he purchased the company and renamed it Bill Blass Ltd. Blass was known for his sophisticated but youthful designs favoured by high society. He retired in 1999.
McCall's 8927 is an asymmetrical, sleeveless shift dress with applied bands and an inverted pleat on the left-hand side:
Geoffrey Beene
Born in Louisiana as Samuel Robert Bozeman Jr., Geoffrey Beene (1924-2004) trained at the Traphagen School of Fashion in New York and École de la Chambre Syndicale in Paris, where he also apprenticed with a tailor. Returning to New York, he worked at Harmay and Teal Traina before founding his own company in 1963. Beene was renowned for his innovative, modern designs, as well as his iconoclasm.
Veronica Hamel models McCall's 1028, a dress cut in seven panels with seven-eighths kimono sleeves and triangular, bias collar:
Anne Klein
Born in Brooklyn as Hannah Golofsky, Anne Klein (1923-1974) also trained at the Traphagen School of Fashion. The pioneer in American sportswear worked in petites and juniors before founding Anne Klein and Company in the late 1960s. Her final collection was completed by Donna Karan, who had begun work at the company in the summer of 1967 as Klein's intern.
McCall's 1020 is a sleeveless shift dress with angular armholes and fabulous standing (and convertible) collar. The model is Hellevi Keko:
All three New York designers would later make the switch to Vogue Patterns: Blass in 1967, Beene and Klein in the 1970s.
Next: Butterick's Young Designers: Mary Quant, Jean Muir, and Emmanuelle Khanh.

As for the job done.. looks like the texture and coverage came out really well and i like the matte black.. good job....
Now... as a long time huge mustang fan and owner of many many stangs... wtf bro... red rims.... its not a ricer (it is a v6... but still not a ricer).. and im not personally a huge fan of the peeled hood.. roof or spoiler would prolly look better if you want something peeled.. looks like u bought a new hood and havent painted it yet... but as always... if you like this then ignore me.. it is all about what you like.
the matte black looks real nice and yeah come on man i am a huge mustang fan and drive one myself and love it but the red rims definitely need to go. its not a honda.

I agree with you. I wasn't planning on peeling the hood, but it had texture. I dipped my car with rattle cans in December & over time bought a spray gun. I was 90% satisfied with the hood after I applied thinner & more dip, but I needed a little more dip to finish it off. I'm planning on doing a design with the hood when I get some time...
I don't mind the criticism, but I'm not trying to blend in with the crowd. As a designer, I like to be creative.. I'm enjoying my car while I can before I get serious into getting an M3.

France / UK / Germany, 2007 (MIFF 2008, Next Gen)
Director: Garth Jennings
"If you only see one Rambo movie this year, make sure it's this one." - Empire
Trapped in 80s English suburbia, 11-year-old Will lives with his widowed mother, a devoted member of the Plymouth Brethren who stifles his imagination by forbidding television, popular music and film, restricting his entertainment solely to religious texts. Quiet and solitary, Will finds an unlikely partner in Lee, the school bully, who exposes him to an illicit screening of Rambo: First Blood.
Lee enlists Will in his own short film, a production that spirals hilariously out of control as it gets hijacked by a French exchange student with dreams of becoming an actor.
A box-office smash in the UK, Son of Rambow is the follow up to director Garth Jennings's 2005 debut, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

With 1-800-HAUL-OUT nearby, getting rid of clutter only requires a pointer finger. Simply point to the junk you need removed, whether it's a refrigerator, piece of furniture, or work shed, and the uniformed movers will take it from there. They carry junk out to their truck, load it, and haul it away, freeing up space that could be better used for a cool pile of rocks you found. They'll also do some light cleaning in the space where the junk previously sat. In addition to furniture and appliances, the movers also handle construction debris and general rubbish. When possible, they donate or recycle the goods they accrue; typically about 70% of their pick-ups are donated.
Junk King's red trucks travel to houses around the country to clear homes of clutter while maintaining environmentally safe practices. Friendly haulers give customers a call when they're en route, then cart away anything except hazardous materials, including garden clippings, outmoded furnishings, and cursed Cadillac trunks. The refuse rangers sort through everything they take away, donating what they can to charity, recycling what they can't, and even sweeping up when the job is done. So far, Junk King has saved 908 tons from entering landfills by striving to recycle more than 60% of what they collect. All appointments are scheduled within two-hour time frames, often with same- or next-day service.
If there are two things the cleaning crew at Rosemont Cleaning Service knows for sure, it's that a party sub makes a terrible broom and that the foundation of a good customer relationship is trust. That's why, before conducting any of their residential or commercial housekeeping, window-cleaning, or pressure-washing services, the cleaners assess jobs and give customers a free estimate. This often overlooked step helps them tailor services to each client's specific needs while avoiding any potential sticker shock after jobs are done.
Tatyana Cleaning Service supplies the products, the equipment, and the elbow grease to spruce up homes and offices. But general housecleaning is only one bristle in the company's home-refurbishment brush. Fully insured technicians can be deployed for chimney and air-duct maintenance, carpet cleaning, or exterior pressure washing. Clients can request window-cleaning services to remove smudges from the sliding glass door or unsightly alien fingerprints from the ozone layer.

Arora 0.10.0-1
User-friendly interface
After a first glance, it's easy to see that you won't have any problems accessing Arora's functions. It displays a comprehensive interface which makes it accessible to anyone, regardless of their experience with computers.
You get the classic 'Back' and 'Forward' navigation buttons, the URL section where you type in the website address you want to visit as well as a quick search section. Apart from this, you are able to open multiple tabs and access various settings and configure the application from a top panel that houses all the menus.
Bookmark and history functions
As you would expect from any basic browser, Arora offers you the possibility to save visited webpages as bookmarks so you can get back to them anytime you want. Bookmarked pages can be stored in a designated list or added to the 'Bookmarks Bar' from where you can quickly open them.
As far as the browser history is concerned, you can access it from the 'History' menu and from there you can see all the recently visited web sites. If you want to keep your browsing private, Arora allows you to clear the history with one click. For a thorough cleaning of private data, you can also choose to remove the download and search history along with cookies and cached web pages.
Private browsing
Arora takes interest in providing the means to browse the Internet privately. It allows you to enable a 'Private Browsing' function which means that no web pages are added to the history, items are deleted from the downloads section immediately after you close the browser and cookies will not be stored.
A nice browser but a bit shaky
Looking back at the presented features, you can say that Arora is a decent browser to have on your computer but since its development has come to a halt a few years ago, it can't deal with a lot of today's websites. In short, web pages that are a bit more complex than the Google homepage seem to make Arora crash completely.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - One thing is guaranteed after Tuesday's primary: At least one of Florida's U.S. representatives won't be working in Washington after January.
In a rare battle of incumbents, 10-term Congressman John Mica is facing freshman Rep. Sandy Adams in a Republican primary that has become increasingly nasty. They are facing each other after once-a-decade redistricting put both of their homes in District 7, a compact area that includes a small part of Orlando and the area northeast of the city. Either could have run in another district, but neither did.
It's become brutal. Adams calls Mica a big-spending politician who is cozy with President Barack Obama. Mica says Adams has used dirty campaign tactics and her record in the state House doesn't match her conservative rhetoric.
"My current opponent is a 20-year career politician who has become part of Washington. He may have went there 20 years ago with the right intentions, but he is part of the mess that's been created," Adams said. "He has voted to raise the debt ceiling like six times. He's part of that Washington problem that so many of us recognize is a problem."
She is drawing support from three other Republican House freshmen from Florida: Allen West, Dennis Ross and Rich Nugent. That goes along with endorsements from 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and Erick Erickson, who runs the conservative RedState blog.
In a recent Adams ad, President Barack Obama is repeatedly shown saying, "Congressman Mica, whose leadership made this bill a reality." Mica is the House Transportation Committee chairman and the clip is from the recent transportation bill signing. Another clip appears to show Mica telling Obama "I'm your biggest cheerleader" after the 2011 State of the Union address.
"She's run one of the nastiest and most negative campaigns in the history of central Florida and I think she's going to pay dearly for that at the polls," said Mica, who has touted the support of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and several mayors in the district. "It's one of the most divisive and just mean campaigns of anyone I've ever seen."
While Mica's and Adams' homes are both in District 7, it's not unusual for members of Congress to run in a new district based on how the maps are drawn.
"Congressman Mica did not have to go after this inland seat. He could have easily run in the coastal seat where most of his constituents live," said Dan Smith, a University of Florida political science professor. "I think it's an act of hubris that he thinks he can knock out this first term congresswoman."
An example of switching districts is West, the tea party favorite who decided to run in a neighboring South Florida district once he saw his current district was leaning more Democratic. To facilitate, Republican Rep. Tom Rooney also shifted to a neighboring district.
Mica and Adams probably both could have had an easy path to re-election had Mica chosen to continuing representing the bulk of his current district, which is now the new District 6. But he thinks it is Adams that should have shifted to a neighboring district.
"They put her house in District 7 by two blocks," Mica said. "My house is in 7, my family is in 7, my business has been in 7, my congressional district office is there in 7. She tried to convince people that it was her district. Now we find ourselves in a primary."
Of course, Adams doesn't see it the same way.
"Everybody was shocked that Mr. Mica decided to walk away from over 500,000 people that he currently represents today to announce he was going to run against me. Think about that," said Adams. "If you don't go along with the establishment, you tend to bring the ire of the establishment. I'm not the establishment."
In other congressional primaries:
- District 6: Seven Republicans are seeking the nomination in the conservative district that runs along the Atlantic Coast from Jacksonville to New Smyrna Beach. Among them are Jacksonville city Councilman Richard Clark, state Rep. Fred Costello, lawyer Ron DeSantis and former Ruth's Chris Steak House CEO Craig Miller. Heather Beaven, the CEO of a nonprofit group that helps students finish school and learn job skills, faces lawyer Vipin Verma in the Democratic primary.
- District 9: Four central Florida Republicans are competing to see who will face former Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson, who became known nationally after saying the GOP health care plan was to hope people die. They are lawyer Todd Long, businessman Julius Melendez, businessman Mark Oxner and John Quinones, a former state representative who now chairs the Osceola County Commission.
- District 19: Six Republicans are on the ballot seeking an open southwest Florida seat. Among them are state Rep. Gary Aubuchon, state Rep. Paige Kreegel, former radio talk show host Trey Radel and Chauncey Goss, son of former congressman and CIA director Porter Goss. The winner will be the heavy favorite to win the conservative district in November.
- District 2: State Rep. Leonard Bembry, lawyer Alvin Peters and former state Sen. Al Lawson are seeking the Democratic nomination to face Republican Rep. Steve Southerland in a district that spreads from Panama City to Tallahassee.
- District 3: Republican Rep. Cliff Stearns is being challenged by former Alachua County sheriff and current state Sen. Steve Oelrich, Clay County Clerk of Courts James Jett and Ted Yoho, a veterinarian who has gained tea party support. The winner will be a strong favorite to win in November in the conservative district that ranges from the Georgia border to Ocala and from Jacksonville's outskirts to the Gulf Coast.
- District 25: Businesswoman Gloria Romero Roses faces Joe Garcia for the Democratic nomination to face Republican Rep. David Rivera in this South Florida district. Garcia lost to Rivera in 2010.
- District 22: Former West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel faces Palm Beach County Commissioner Kristin Jacobs in the Democratic primary. The winner will face former state Rep. Adam Hasner, who dropped out of the U.S. Senate race to seek the seat.
- District 23: Five Republicans are on the ballot to see who'll face Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who also chairs the Democratic National Committee. Among them are restaurant owner Karen Harrington, businessman Ozzie deFaria and Joe Kaufman.
- District 18: West faces minor opposition from Martin County Sheriff Robert Crowder while businessman Patrick Murphy is the heavy favorite in the Democratic primary against Jim Horn and Jerry Lee Buechler.
- District 24: Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson faces minor opposition from Rudy Moise in the Miami area district. There are no Republican challengers.
- District 4: Republican Rep. Ander Crenshaw faces two minor challengers, Bob Black and Deborah Katz Pueschel. The winner won't have a Democratic challenger for the seat the represents a large portion of Jacksonville and the surrounding area.
- District 13: Republican Rep. Bill Young faces minor opposition from Madeline Vance and Darren Ayres. The winner will face Democrat Jessica Ehrlich for the seat that represents the St. Petersburg area.
- District 17: Republican Rep. Tom Rooney faces minor opposition from Joe Arnold in a district that stretches across south central Florida.

Innerflow Ventilated Grill Cover-62" 2 2
Super replacement Covers for oversize grills are hard to find. Reordered one from grill mfg, very expensive, difficult to use, short lived. This cover appears to be much improved. Much easier to fit, has ventilation which should prolong life of cover and fabric seems very durable. 5year warranty will get a workout if needed. September 20, 2013
New Grill Cover I really like the design of this cover, I gave it four stars because I have not had it very long, I am hopeful that this one will last longer than previous grill covers that I have owned, the average life span of the others was 1.5 years, they would develop rips and tears due to exposure to the elements outside which defeated the purpose of having one in the first place.

How should a science center or museum's success be measured?February 21st, 2012 - Posted in 2012, Dimensions, Viewpoints by Emily Schuster
This discussion was originally published in the Viewpoints department of the March/April 2012 of Dimensions magazine.
Along with traditional measures of financial performance and customer satisfaction, a successful science center needs to show how it achieves its mission of engaging the public in science and technology. An innovative approach would be to convert evaluation studies into measures that account for the quality of the visitor learning experience, and to include these measures in the museum's organizational scorecard.

Spammers, Support Groups, and Twelve StepsWritten by Malcolm James on June 21, 2012
This week, we explore a dark and disturbing social disease caused by spamming, an ever-growing problem for young spammers in the wild: out of work spammers. A serious issue, out of work spammers just can't afford to get that second Lear jet, buy a couple of hundred million's worth of Facebook stock just so they can use it as toilet paper, or even put really expensive ketchup on their Kraft Dinner. No, the out of work spammer is a serious social issue. Fortunately for you and me, Microsoft Sweden has it covered, and what seems like a tremendously bad joke is actually no laughing matter at all.
Imagine my surprise this Sunday morning as I (figuratively) leafed through the pages of the Interwebs, catching up on my weekly review of all things spammy. Not much to report, really, which for me was a pleasant break from the normal glut of ludicrous news items about the state of email spam. In fact, the biggest news item this week was, naturally, the increase in Father's Day spam campaigns. If you haven't already picked up some malware on your way to what you thought was a $19.99 cigar deal for dad, but instead landed on an Internet casino, then by all means click that link, Skippy (note: the link above is safe to click. It links to a story about the cigar deal).
But when I landed on CircleID.com and scrolled down to the venerable Terry Zink's column, my general boredom turned to wonder, then curiosity, then a humorous grin, then a puzzling frown, and then to general confusion. This week, Terry's picked up on what at face value appears to be a much-belated April Fool's Day gag, late to the party and not that good a gag, to be sure. Terry reports on a program running out of Microsoft Sweden known as Spammers' Aid. The article includes a brief video of a Swedish chap with the nicest English, explaining how Microsoft is putting out of work spammers back to work by, uhm, repurposing them, I suppose. The idea here is that they're talented at bothering the hell out of people, so why not have them bother the hell out of people for legitimate reasons?
The 'recruiting' video, the one shown in Terry's article, seems like a joke. The Swedish chap hardly seems for real, and all the while you watch it you're waiting for some dude in a bad tux to jump out and tell you that you've been punked. Ha ha, you got me good, right? Now, I had to watch this video twice and then find other similar videos before I realized this is for real. If you doubt me, check out this recorded session. And, on Terry's MSDN blog site, you can see the same story here. Note that while Terry is reporting this as the real deal, his skepticism leaks out a bit, too (note the question mark – "created and provided by Microsoft?").
It hardly seems real, but it appears to be, and hell, it's painful to look at. I don't know what's worse: the cheesy shtick of the guy in the recruiting video, crumpling up a piece of paper, giving the mandatory Joe Coolish 'how are ya?' to someone in the hallway as he follows the camera, or when he extends the chart line down to the floor; or how the poor woman delivering the session is practically apologetic when she points out that it's Friday and it's sunny, so all the spammers must be out riding bikes and tossing Frisbees to their dogs in the park. They certainly aren't in the room.
Yes, it sure seems real, but perhaps that is the cruelest joke of them all. I suppose Microsoft Sweden isn't hard at work working on Windows 8 and the Metro interface, so they need something else to keep them busy. And here I always thought that blondes have more fun. But really, Microsoft? What's next, an annual charity concert featuring dozens of the world's biggest acts? You wouldn't need to change the name. Just call it Spammers' Aid and hold it at Wembley Stadium…heck, you could probably even convince Bob Geldof to produce the thing. And I suppose if you're going to run support groups for out of work spammers, you should probably have an AA style set of twelve steps for them to follow. Anyone care to suggest what they might be?
Get real.
Related Posts
Okay, at first I thought "If Microsoft wants to 'repurpose' spammers, surely it will be to help them fight spam, much like the NSA brings hackers on board." Then that question turned to "Why isn't Microsoft doing the thing I just thought they were going to do?", which then became "Who does this possibly benefit?" And then finally, I started howling gibberish and hitting my keyboard with a large stone.
It's perplexing, at best. What did Microsoft expect? That the so-called spammers will line up at their doorstep begging to be "reformed" and hired? I can't seem to immediately see the logic of this "campaign", maybe it's a creative way to point out that the fight against spam is winning and they're just being humanitarian towards the losers or casualties?
What most people need to understand, however, s that reform takes on a very slow process. And, "spammers" have a different psyche than alcoholics or addicts. They're criminals, not victims of substance abuse. At some level this just seems hilarious. But, I didn't fully wrap my head around it as MS seems insidiously confused.

Samosa House vs. Bawarchi
- Moomin Nov 22, 2009 06:53 PM
Two longtime regular Samosa House customers.
Two combinations from Samosa House, two from Bawarchi, and one Papri Chaat from each.
Let it be noted, neither of the diners were really Samosa House partisans. We each made regular pilgrimages to Artesia before having kids (still young toddlers). Samosa House is simply the most convenient and consistent option that has been available in our price range on the west side of town.
Here are the deciding factors that have influenced our decision.
Distance: Samosa house 4 miles, Bawarchi 4.5 miles. Essentially a draw, but Samosa House has easier parking.
Environment: really a non-issue as we usually have take-out. But Bawarchi is a clear winner when judged on design, comfort, and general cleanliness (even their dine-in serving-ware seems up market). It has to be noted that Samosa House somehow feels "right" dispite the low-rent nature of the environment, whereas Bawarchi seems almost unjustifiably posh given their reasonable prices. Advantage... probably Bawarchi.
Price: Pennies different. Draw.
Chaat: This was the greatest contrast between the two establishments. Samosa House used to (about two years ago) source their ingredients much better preparing their papri chaat with kala chana (black chick peas) and thin sev as well as their home made chutneys and yogurt. Today the recipe has been simplified, and the more esoteric ingredients have been dropped, but it's still quite tasty. Bawachi, sadly, takes the Samosa House recipe and simplifies it further, resulting in a less balanced, less satisfying option. Would we prefer Surati Farsan Mart or Jay Bharat? Are you kidding? But, between the two local options Samosa House is the clear winner.
Combo Plates: Very tough decision here. In many ways this is an impossible call to make. Options change daily in both establishments, and the items that are always avaiable like jack fruit and chana were all but identical. No. Really. Blind tasting identical. No joke. Same recipe. Really. As to variable options we had Mirchi Saalam from both places... Samosa house was spicier and sweeter, Bawarchi was smokier, and thinner. We had Soy Tikka Masala from both, Bawarchi was oilier and hotter, Samosa House was denser and sweeter. We had Malai Kofta, which was a stark contrast, totally different recipe: Samosa House was a corn cake in sweet cream sauce, and Bawarchi was a soy meatball in sour cream sauce. On the whole, if you like sweet and rich sauces Samosa House is your destination, and if you like sharp and thin sauces Bawarchi is preferable. Even though Barwachi has roughly twice the number of options available we generally preferred Samosa House.
Bells and whistles: Bawarchi has Pilau rice at no extra charge... but it isn't very good. Bawarchi has naan... but it's overworked, dried out, and simply awful (Samosa House will apparently also have naan by the end of the week). Bawarchi has salad. Samosa House has vastly better raita... and both now have equally bad papadum. Both have dried out chapati.
Conclusion: Is it worth picking favorites? I'd probably pick the closer based on geographic location and leave it at that. Generally, I honestly preferred Samosa House, and didn't see enough distinction between the two to make much fuss about. If I were going on a cheap date I'd probably go with Bawarchi as it's prettier... but beyond that there's not much to distinguish it... As soon as the kids get old enough we'll probably go back to making the crosstown pilgrimage anyway.
I had this roasted chili curry at Barwatchi and it was fantastic. Really thought everything was good and fresh. I think they are working some of the kinks out, but it is a good choice for lunch in Culver City. There are a lot of different veggie options.
My main complaint was that you get a lot of food w/ the combo and the trays are too big for the table. Some things, like the salad, seem like more of an afterthought.
re: a_and_w
Thanks for the detailed report, Moomin. I've been enjoying Samosa House for a long time now, and I was sad when it seemed the chef had left (though I'm happy to see he has his own thing going now at Bawarchi). I feel like I'm going to have to go out for Indian food on the west side twice as often. I'd love to see both places doing well.
re: banjoboy
Try them both, then decide. I was thinking along the same lines, but honestly... after my recent meals at both establishments I'm inclined to simply stick with Samosa House. They're both fine. Bawarchi is just not appreciably better in any significant way.
Thanks for the very interesting comparative review. Haven't made it to Bawarchi yet but there has been some recent debate about Samosa House (and Bawarchi), among others, here:
re: cakewhole
Took the plunge this weekend and tried it. On the plus side:
* Great bang for your buck, way more food than Samosa House
* More variety of options.
* Slight advantage on taste. I think it's fairly neck and neck but I'd give the edge to Barwarchi.
* very slooow service. Took a long time to order
* feels nitpicky but having trays the size of the table seems a little strange. Between food drinks and an appetizer, we had to expand onto the next table to fit it all.
* May have been a function of the food and naan but I left feeling fuller (in a bad way). One of the things I always liked about Samosa House but that I could eat a full dinner and not feel stuffed after. That didn't happen this time.
Overall I'd say alternate between the two or pick the one closer to you. Both are good options and fairly similiar.
re: Discokill
I've only eaten at Samosa House once, and at Bawarchi 2-3 times. I agree that Bawarchi does give you more food for your buck than Samosa House, and I appreciate the better variety. 1 "special" at Bawarchi can feed me and my wife... particularly with a side of aloo pakora.
I must sadly agree about the slow service though at Bawarchi. I wouldn't want to have 4-5 people ahead of me, or it'd take quite a while. The people are nice, just not very fast (perhaps because they haven't been open long).
Oh, and in response to the OP, I'd say the naan is quite fine - reminds me of Trader Joe's frozen naan (so, if you like one, you'll like the other. If not...).
re: hhewitt
Going to have to plead a "take-out" exemption on the size comparisons. The take out containers are idenical and filled to precisely the same degree. Now... I will confess... take out at Samosa House is a bit of a trick, as they give you roughly twice as much food as dine in, for precisely the same price.
Even when I'm dining-in, I order take-out at Samosa House. Shhhh... don't tell.
I will say the thing I like best about Bawarchi is they have Labels for each of the Dishes. Most of the time Samosa house did not.
Tried Bawarchi yesterday and was really, really impressed! Palak paneer, malai kofta, and chana masala were all extremely fresh and well spiced. This is right up there with my favorite veggie Indian places anywhere. The kicker is that Bawarchi is also only a block or two from the Anjelica truck!
re: a_and_w
It's nitpicky and unfair... but it plays on my mind.
Both Bawarchi and Samosa House are steam-table indian places. Neither of them serve "extremely fresh" food. Nor should they, they serve casseroles, many of which actually IMPROVE and intensify with time. There are certain items that each restaurant stocks that I won't order if I see that they've just been brought out because the flavors benefit from more time on the burner.
Having said that, to each his or her own. Upon further reflection I stand by my initial observation... they're remarkably similar, neither as good as they've been touted to be, and the major distinction is Samosa House errs on the side of rich and sweet (coconut cream), and Bawarchi errs on the side of sharp and thin (mustard oil).
re: Moomin
Perhaps "extemely" was hyperbole, but your correction is otherwise inaccurate. "Fresh" is simply a relative term as applied to steam table food. As for Bawarchi, it's a LOT better than recent critics led me to believe. I'm confident this place would do very well in Manhattan (but probably not Queens) where competition for veggie Indian is greater than LA. (Though I would kill for a branch of Saravanaas.)
re: Moomin
since the dal at both places is cooked for 24 hours; for that dish, at least, it doesn't seem to me that another 40 minutes on the steam table would make any discernable difference one way or another.
I dont quite agree with a lot of comments here. I've tried both, and found a drastic difference in quality. I sat at the 2 places instead of togo. I was pleasants surprised by the quality and taste of Bawarchi. Beats any punjabi food I've had in LA, all the curries were amazing... simply beats samosa house..... if you can appreciate the subtle differences in the quality of the taste....
re: A.S
Fair enough. Between my years in Paradip, Brick Lane, and Bellflower (Artesia adjacent), clearly the problem is my inability to discern subtle differences in the quality of the taste.
I actually talked to Gunmeed the other day and about Bawarchi's overuse of mustard oil... I agree that it IS authentic, but I don't like it. And not to be too Woody Allen about this, but Bawarchi's portions are much smaller (and shrinking) when compared to Samosa House.
re: Moomin
not only is the use of mustard oil authentic,
i much prefer it.
there are plenty of non-authentic indian joints serving dumbed down food on the west side. . . .
i am grateful for the improved offering.
re: westsidegal
I only take issue with your use of the word "improved."
All of which brings me back to my initial point. There are VERY small differences between the two restaurants.
If I wanted a bit more variety I'd go to Bawarchi, if I wanted a bit more food I'd go to Samosa House... If I wanted remotely authentic Eastern Indian food I'd go to Artesia.
Indicentally, Quarrygirl has a great head to head comparison (based primarily on meal size) on her blog. Definitely worth a look.
re: Moomin
"If I wanted remotely authentic Eastern Indian food I'd go to Artesia."
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "remotely authentic Eastern Indian" food?
re: a_and_w
Sure. For Bengali there's Little Dhaka, for Hyderabadi there's Shan, Kabob Corner, and Tirupathi Bhimas... I generally go to Surati Farsan Mart or Jay Bharat for chaat, but they're Western Indian.
re: Moomin
No offense, Moomin, but you aren't the only one who knows quality Indian. I'm confident offerings in Artesia are no better or more authentic than what's available in NJ and Queens where I chowed for years. Just accept it -- some people prefer Bawarchi.
re: a_and_w
I totally and completely accept that some people prefer Bawarchi. I do so without reservation or judgement. The only point I've taken issue with is the insistance that those who prefer Bawarchi do so because it's miles tastier, more authentic, or higher quality than Samosa House.
Bawarchi is fine. Samosa House is fine. They're pretty mich equally fine. Neither is great. Neither is terrible. There are very small distinctions between the two.
Any attempt to blow the distinction up to more than personal preferences is pretty lame.
re: Moomin
YOU are the person who originally characterized the use of more mustard oil as being more authentic.
and, for me, since i adore the taste of mustard oil, mustard seed, and mustard greens, i would always prefer to go to a place that uses those ingredients.
of the non-artesia places, i really like the curried/sauteed fresh mustard greens that the chef at bombay grocery makes just for me.
re: westsidegal
Yes, you're right, I did.
My point was that sticking with that, mildly controversial, touch of authenticity (most Indian chefs dial down the mustard oil, even in India, when preparing vegan food), in a pretty inauthentic context seems odd.
Other odd touches the restaurants have in common... both use olive oil, both use allums in what would otherwise be ayurvedic preparations, neither restaurant uses ghee as a sauce base.
Incidentally, mustard seed oil is still not marketed as safe for human consumption. Most Indian households use it, but it's designated for external use only both here AND in India.
re: Moomin
guess i'm lucky that i'm still alive, since i love the stuff.
my understanding about the use of olive oil at samosa house was that it was in response to customer demand.
many of the customers that seek out vegetarian food do so in order to avoid saturated fat;
these customers requested that samosa house offer foods that were low in saturated fat.
also, a few of the customers are vegan.
by substituting olive oil for butter (ghee), samosa house was able to cater to the preferences of these two subgroups of their customers.
re: westsidegal
Yup. Same situation at Bawarchi (more or less). Samosa House is down to one dairy option each day, Bawarchi is down to either two or three. They're both responding to customer demand that they offer less traditional recipes.
As far as toxicity in mustard seed oil, there were poisonings in India which were blamed on erucic acid. It was actually probably due to poor processing. Suffice it to say, you can't buy it for culinary use anymore. Whether you should be able to is another matter. It's just unusual to taste large quantities of it in recipes that aren't prepared at home.
re: Moomin
Gotcha -- in fairness, you did say exactly that in your review. Can you recommend a good samosa chaat?
re: a_and_w
For Samosa Chaat... if you're willing to make the drive, or just find yourself in Artesia, Rasraj is good, and Bombay Sweets and Snacks is okay.
Jay Bharat and Surati Farsan Mart are better in general, but neither have Samosa Chaat on the fixed menu (both feature it occassionally as a special).
re: a_and_w
It turns out Mumbai Ki Galliyon Se, in Artesia, also has samosa chaat.
I stopped in today, while visiting family, and noticed it on the menu. I'm not crazy about the restaurant... it's Mumbai street food prepared to order, which is lovely, but it has a very home cooked slightly amateur feel to it, which can be quirky.
That said, it's yet another option that is both better and more authentic than anything we've got here on the west side.
re: Moomin
although not strickly food-related, i have to say that i found the the owner of mumbai k galliyon se to be extremely helpful and lovely. i went there with a group of 10 folks, and he worked with the organizer (abby) to put together a really terrific meal for us and kept up a running dialogue explaining each dish as he brought it out--a terrific enhancement to the meal
re: westsidegal
Totally agree. Shruti Shah, the chef and owners wife, is one of the loveliest people I've ever met.
That said, other than the piyush and the dabeli, which were both truly fantastic, everything else I've had there can be had in a better incarnation elsewhere.
re: Moomin
There is a lot of interesting insight and squabbling over the question at hand. You guys are pretty tetchy about whether or not you agree. I don't see how where you have lived would make you more refined in taste. Excuse me, but what dishes benefit from sitting under the heatlamps and steam trays?
I have read the whole thread and decided that this a good place to discuss portions because I wanted to since the first post in the thread. Maybe they don't like you at Bawarchi, but the portions are absolutely greater comparing them both as takeout. Furthermore, whichever rice you pick, it's not a dollar extra, though at Samosa House I would have picked white rice anyway. You can get chapatis at Samosa House, but you have to explicitly ask for them. You also get more raita at Bawarchi, a salad and papad or pappadum--which you don't get at Samosa House (they used to have papad at Samosa House.
Since you are a local, you can get a free samosa with the pennysaver coupon from Bawarchi. Or on Mondays you can get 15% off, or Tuesday and Wednesday 10% off from Bawarchi with the online coupons; which makes it a lot cheaper than Samosa House. Since the Bawarchi samosa order comes with two, the pennysaver coupon is a good deal because it saves you $3--and gets you a lot more food. You get significantly more food at Bawarchi versus Samosa House.
You can disagree about authenticity, quality, etceteras. The answer to portions is pretty clear. Unless maybe Gunmeed hates you or something, you should have the same experience. Maybe you did something that upset him like criticize his use of mustard oil. I don't know. I get free sweets and extra curries from both places, so it's not that either place treats me preferentially. Oh yeah, Bawarchi also has lemons and limes and spiced onions . . .

re: apple7blue
recently had sublime curried bittermelon from samosa house,
and the wonderful curried bhindi with potatos from bawarchi.
i am so lucky to live near both of them. .
re: westsidegal
You like karela? You have a broad palette. From my experience, even very few Indians like karela. I love bhindi, when you say curried you mean in the yellow soupy like stuff or just a fried sabji?
re: apple7blue
dunno the nomenclature,
both were 'dry' stir-fried/sauteed dishes.
re: westsidegal
You should try bhindi with Gujarati curry http://chatpatidish.blogspot.com/2009...
That is one of my favorites. Bhindi is good any way. I like them here, there, anywhere, I like them in a box, I like them with a fox . . .
Karela is just too bitter for me.
re: apple7blue
I did not want to bother to print out a coupon for Bawarchi so I went to Samosa House, the other day. I know that does not really make sense, because even then I could have gone to Bawarchi . . .
I got a combo plate and shrikand. I asked for chapatis--not their new tawa roti or naan, so I had to wait a bit for that. This was fine by me, because it was freshly cooked and I felt like eating that versus their other options. I got their jackfruit--which is well reviewed here. I also got eggplant. One thing that I had a problem with is they don't cut the stems off of the eggplants--like that would be so much work? I also got veggie tikka masala--which was just a soup of tikka masala with precut frozen vegetables. That was just disgusting. Like the taste was bad. I think the raita I got was off also. Anyway, I ended up not eating the rice, tikka masala, and raita. The shrikand was weird also. It was kind of harder in texture than it should be, it was sweet and I felt like something sweet to cleanse my palate--it was just so thick in consistency. I have no idea what they did to get that.
It's Indian fast food in a buffett--not in the worse sense of this description like that disgusting place in the Santa Monica mall. It's not really gourmet food, street food, or even home cooking either, "authenticity" or not. My conclusion was to go to Bawarchi next time. These places are really close to me, and because they are buffet, I don't have to wait for it to be prepared. I think if I was less lazy, I'd probably eat better . . .

re: apple7blue
Ha, what place are you talking about in the Santa Monica Mall?
re: mdpilam
I don't know what it was called, it was in the food court. There is a place like that across from USC also, directly across. An Indian buffett in the worst sense . . .
re: apple7blue
I guess I was more drawing a blank on the Santa Monica Mall part... I can't think of any mall in SaMo except for the new Santa Monica Place opening this week. You don't mean the Promenade, right? The only Indian I can think of is Gate of India there, but I've never been. Oh well.

re: mdpilam
It's not actually totally new--the old Frank Gerhry mall had a food court Indian stand . . .
re: AlkieGourmand
One more for when you are in NYC http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/701175
re: AlkieGourmand
Well... Samosa House has sarson ka saag with makki ki roti a few times each month, and Ambala Dhaba had it on the menu last time I was there, as did Bombay Sweets and Spices in Artesia. Pickles on South Street has it as well (a Manchurian tinged version), and I'm pretty sure there are others...
re: BrewNChow
to add to BrewNChew's remarks:
the saag at bawarchi contains mustard greens as well as spinach which, to me, gives it a far better flavor.
fwiw, i don't think the rice in either place is worth the calories.

Ron is a founding member of the Forum together with Charles Clark-Maxwell, Don Farnsworth, Derek Palmer and Chris Harris. Ron wrote the Heritage Column in The Derby Trader free newspaper until the paper closed in May 2008. Ron describes himself as a "Heritage Activist" rather than an historian and has written a controversial book,
The Rivers of Time
, containing his research into the historic water levels around Derby and the effects of these levels on the development of the town. The research also indicates the evolution of Nottingham and the whole of the Humber flood plains, which is most of the central eastern region of England. Importantly, the evidence in the book is suggesting that the
Medieval Warm Period
was warmer than today and that this caused higher water levels in the Viking Period.
Also on the subject of Global Warming Ron's latest book containing an investigation of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles for evidence of higher sea and river levels during the Medieval Warm Period has been published. In it Ron is suggesting that higher temperatures are normal and that the Little Ice Age has confused the Climate Scientists causing them to think that lower temperatures are normal. If Ron is right then we can expect average temperatures to continue to rise and for sea and river levels to follow.

Skin On Skin Lyrics - Queens Of the Stone Age
Review The Song (3)
From the moment you said "why haven't you kissed me yet?"
I knew I'd wipe that paint from your lips
I stare the lids off your eyes, gone down on your dirty mind
& end up between your hips
Handfuls of sweat tangled hair, anytime, anywhere
I wanna lick you too much baby
I just play all alone, whispering for your moan
Forced to crawl down this line, just to touch
I can get in
I can't get out
I can get in
I can't get out
I'm just sweating my sheets
I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go baby
Twisted secret lives, the way you bat your eyes
Givin' head, givin' head
Watch you come from above
I'm so needy for love, I'm desperate,
Greedy in slavery
I sneak around from behind
I got a one track mind
We got a skin on skin thing baby
I wanna lick you too much, I wanna lick you too much
I hear you comin' ooh aaaah baby
I wanna lick you too much, I wanna lick you too much
I hear you comin' ooh aaaah
Yeah . . .

Police officers work their way north on West Florissant Avenue in Ferguson, Mo., clearing the road with the use of tear gas and smoke bombs on Aug. 13, 2014.
ST. LOUIS — The mother of an unarmed black teenager whose shooting death by a white police officer sparked racial unrest near St. Louis appeared briefly Thursday night during an anti-brutality gathering near the city's Gateway Arch, urging through a relative for peace to prevail.
In downtown St. Louis, in a tiny park between the landmark Gateway Arch and an old courthouse famous for the Dred Scott slavery case in the mid-1800s, several hundred people — seemingly an equal number white and black — gathered in Michael Brown's memory.
The site was just a short drive from Ferguson, where Michael Brown — 18 and unarmed — was shot dead by a white police officer, stoking racial divide in that suburb where two-thirds of the 21,000 residents are black and all but three of the 53 police officers are white.
Ushered into the event on the arms of one of her late son's cousins, Eric Davis, Lesley McSpadden did not address the crowd but waved, drawing applause from the throng as a show of support as she wiped away tears beneath her dark sunglasses — her son not yet buried as the investigation of his death involving the still-unidentified officer pressed on.
"What happened the other night to our cousin doesn't need to continue," Davis, speaking by megaphone for McSpadden, said before calling the circumstances of Brown's death "a senseless killing by the men hired to protect and serve."
The group later marched to Busch Stadium.
The observance was among many staged nationwide, each with a minute of silence for Brown and others affected by alleged police brutality.
The St. Louis gathering's peacefulness was in marked contrast to a night of looting and frequent clashes between demonstrators and police in Ferguson since Brown's death.
"We come together today for this reason of healing," Bishop Elliott Coleman of St. Louis' El Bethel Temple Church said in prayerfully opening the observance, monitored by some two dozen police officers strategically stationed around the park. "Realize there are tears in every city, tears in homes, tears in the eyes of young people, tears in the eyes of old people. The tears need to be wiped away, and the hearts need to be healed."
Kathryn Reynolds, a 34-year-old dog groomer from St. Charles west of St. Louis, told The Associated Press she came to "mourn for all lost to (alleged police brutality), not just Michael but everybody."
"This is a national issue. I don't think this all stems from Ferguson — that just pushed everyone over the edge," said Reynolds, a married mother of two kids, ages 11 and 10. "I want the streets to be safe for my babies, and that those there to protect them will. There are enough other things to worry about already."
