Thai Restaurants in Manhattan Galore but where is the real thing (please advise)
- jonkyo Jan 5, 2012 09:02 PM
I have been so displeased with Thai restaurants here in the states or anywhere for that matter, simply due to the fact that these places are riding on some trendy tsunami (no pun intended) and all that I can see, taste, and pay for, fail in horrific ways.
Thai food, not too recently gave into to countering my oath to never eat Thai cuisine in the states, and one of the horrible residue flavors that permeated this dish I ordered was sugar.
And a second note, the kitchen could not provide results for a request for fresh, raw chopped chili. The wait staff had to walk to the outside front of the restaurant to the side of the enterence, pinch off a number of chilis from the potted display chili plant, rush to the kitchen, have the kitchen staff cut them up, then return with a skimp portion of cut chili for me, a paying customer, from the ornament outside the restaurant door.
I would expect a Thai establishment to have raw chilis on hand. I suppose not. Or the owner likes to make extra work for the wait staff, by having them run outside and collect chilis from a plant, resulting in a non-satisfactory portion for your dish. I suppose that is real fresh, plucking the chili from the ornament outside the restaurant, but still lacking in quantity. Next time I will bring my own plant lush with chilis for the wait staff to pluck, and I will be certain to join in.
The above restaurant was the second Thai venue visited since I decided to try them out. Both were Thai staffed and well decorated on the Southeast Asian theme but both failed in preparations that would be anything to note. Also the food more resembled Thai food in color not so much taste.
Good Thai restaurants are in extremely short supply in Manhattan. Some years ago, Pam Real Thai had a good reputation for authentic-tasting Thai food. I have eaten occasionally at the Pam Real Thai Encore in the same neighborhood. It is better than your average Manhattan Thai slop, but I did not find it really exciting. The Wondee Siam chain is better than its neighbors, but I'm not sure that that is saying much.
It's probably easier to be advised where NOT to go by Chowhounds for Manhattan Thai food. if you are looking for the real thing, avoid anything on 8th or 9th Aves. in Hell's Kitchen or Chelsea. That's not to say that you can't put together a satisfying and cheap meal at one of these places, but they mostly serve the same gloppy, sweet, oily concoctions.

re: foodmonk
I think that ultimately the problem with getting authentic Thai food in New York is the same as other types of Southeast Asian food here: There just aren't a lot of Thai, Vietnamese, etc. people living in New York City. Unlike Chinese cuisine, there isn't an immigrant population demanding a lot of authentic foods from these regions. I've had far better Vietnamese food in Boise, Idaho, than in New York for this very reason.
re: foodmonk
I think this demographic element is quite good, and correct.
The Vietnamese here seems also to be a vogue trend, and many fail.
I will book my flight for Boise soon, thanks. jest
re: foodmonk
Agree. Both places went were on 9th ave and when I was more looking for atmopere to chill for a while with blistering hot food to munch on. Nice atmosphere but no burning hot dishes and yes, slop glop and sweet.
Thank you for the suggestions.
re: Bob Martinez
Thanks for your post.

Anywhere: continental Europe, the US, UK, Republic of the Philippines (Manilla), PRC, ROC, Seoul (ROC), the moon and other celestial masses ...............others please add to list.
re: jonkyo
At least you didn't say Thailand.
re: jonkyo
there is an excellent one in London/Hammersmith, a couple great Isaan places in Paris, and a half-decent one hidden in a Shanghai apt buidling that was initially created to feed the Thai consulate there...and many solid places in LA...
re: nmprisons
I will look to queens, and your recommends thanks.
Zabb Elee in LES has probably the best Som Tam in the city that is as good as most of Thailand. They also don't Farang you by making it not spicy. They offer a scale of 1 - 5. A four is Bangkok standard and a five is as hot as Isaan. Rest of the menu was average.
Pam's real Thai on 49th and 9th has a great variety of the usual Thai suspects. Pad Thai, Pad See Euw and Pad Kee Mow (spelling) are really good. I try and stay away from the specials as they often are pricey and a bit ketchup like.
Pam's room was a bit average but they have been closed for a brief time to renovate. Lets hope it comes out looking as good as Room Service which has a great room but average food.

Perhaps Pok Pok will satisfy you when it opens:
I've never been to Thailand so I can't weigh in on any authenticity-based arguments, but I can guarantee that Pok Pok is unlike every other Thai restaurant in Portland. Search the NYT as well for a recent write-up that they did when they tagged along with Andy Ricker on a trip to Thailand.
re: jeff_pdx
Crap, didn't realize that it's going to be in Brooklyn. Hope I don't get CH-disbarred for that transgression...
The "Secret Thai" menu - or better yet, the actual Thai-language menu, if the waiter admits its existence and lets you order from it - at the original Wondee is the best you'll get in Manhattan. If you want better, post to the Outer Boroughs board - which is what I think I recommend for you.

re: foodwhisperer
I will tell her the food whisperer sent me.
I am sure such requests should come after establishing a repoire. It could be rude but maybe not.
Thanks for that.
re: jonkyo
Toon doesnt know me by the name foodwhisperer, but just say a friend of hers, and that should be fine.
re: Pan
Have you really ever been refused the Thai menu at Wondee? I've never detected any anti-gringo attitude, at least at the first two Wondees, but just some disbelief that there is interest in it. If they aren't absolutely slammed, I've found most of the waitresses more than willing to help explain the Thai menu, if requested. That said, I can't be too enthusiastic about the food off of either (although I do remember a wonderful pork larb that I was served a couple of years ago at II, that I wrote about on CH).
re: Dave Feldman
The actual Thai-language menu is seldom offered to me, and yes, they have often denied its existence. The "Secret Thai" menu is shorter than the actual Thai-language menu, which in fact I've seen only once or twice. And it's unfortunate that I can't read Thai, because never would they actually spend the time to translate the entire Thai-language menu for me.
re: uncledunkel
They sometimes offer the English-language "Secret Thai" menu without being asked, but do ask. You'll get food that is much tastier and less sweet. And see if you can get your waiter to offer something from the actual Thai-language menu.

Downtown boosters got a sneak peek at a pair of rental projects officials say will keep momentum going in the city's urban core.
Officials from the Downtown Improvement District and Fishers-based RealAmerica Development & Management conducted a tour of the loft apartment sites Wednesday.
Click here to see photos from the tour.
Randall Lofts is a $7.5 million complex, where renovations are ongoing. It occupies a historic building at 616 S. Harrison that will include 44 one- and two bedroom apartments. Pre-leasing is underway.
Construction on Superior Lofts should begin in 2015, with leasing taking place late that year. The $14 million project will house 66 apartments, similar to the units on South Harrison, except all but two of those apartments are income-based.
Rent at Superior Lofts could range $800 to $1,200 a month.

Multi-threading in .NET
In .NET 2.0+, if you want to have something run on another thread, you have a number of choices:
The classical System.Threading.Thread class
The not-so-known System.Threading.ThreadPool
The System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
Delegates invoked asynchronously
Let's see how we would do it in each case, and what would be the benefits. Let's suppose our thread method looks like this:private void ThreadMethod(Object state)
Using System.Threading.Thread
You start a new System.Threading.Thread instance and pass it a pointer to the thread method wrapped in a System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart (for an optional state parameter) or System.Threading.ThreadStart delegate, then, you start it, by calling Start:Thread thread = new Thread(state => ThreadMethod(state)); thread.Start(state);
As you can see, I am using the new .NET 3.5 lambda syntax for delegates.
If you want to wait for the thread to exit, do this:
Using System.Threading.ThreadPool
Assuming your thread pool is properly configured (maximum number of threads, minimum number of threads before creating another one, etc), all you have to do is enqueue a method for execution, whenever a thread from the pool is free:
Booleanresult = ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(ThreadMethod, state);
Or, if you must wait for the result:
ManualResetEvent handle = new ManualResetEvent(false);ThreadPool.RegisterWaitForSingleObject(handle, (s, timedout) => ThreadMethod(s), state, timeout, true);
By the way, QueueUserWorkItem always returns true, otherwise an exception is thrown.
Using System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
You create an instance of the System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker class, add an event handler to its DoWork event, and start the processing by calling RunWorkerAsync, with an optional state parameter:BackgroundWorker worker = new BackgroundWorker();worker.DoWork += delegate(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs args) { ThreadMethod(args.Argument); };
Waiting for the worker to complete is accomplished this way:
ManualResetEventhandle = new ManualResetEvent(false);ThreadPool.RegisterWaitForSingleObject(handle, (s, timedout) => ThreadMethod(s), state, timeout, true);
The System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker class is available from the Windows Forms toolbox, in design view, so you can drag it into your form, and change its properties or register events through the property inspector.
Using DelegatesYou declare a delegate that points to your method and you start its BeginInvoke method, passing it the state parameter and optionally a callback method, that gets called when the method terminates, and a state argument for that callback: Action<Object> action = ThreadMethod;
action.BeginInvoke(state,null, null);
And waiting:Action<Object> action = ThreadMethod;IAsyncResult result = action.BeginInvoke(state, null, null);
So, what is the difference between all these methods? Let's see:
You would use System.Threading.Thread class when you want your task to be run exactly now; you may also want to suspend it or kill it;
System.Threading.ThreadPool helps preserving resources: no new threads are created, we just grab another one from the pool, if it is available, or wait for it, so the job may not start immediately; you don't have control over the actual thread that does the job;
If you want to have feedback from a thread, you use System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker. Its events allows you to set the completion status and to be notified when the task finishes. Typically you use it in a Windows Forms application. As it uses internally the thread pool, jobs may not start immediately;
Delegates are a fast way of launching a thread from a method delegate; it also uses the thread pool, so a task may take some time to actually start.
In all cases, starting from .NET 2.0, the spawned threads retain the same principal (System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal property), which is great for access control.

The cost for acute medical care and lost productivity related to the Texas outbreak of West Nile virus in 2012 likely exceeded $47 million, according to a new study released Wednesday.The state's 1,886 cases demonstrated the need for ongoing mosquito surveillance and the necessity of developing an effective vaccine, said Dr. Kristy Murray, who led the research conducted by the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston."When you look at what it is costing us as a society, it's enormous. Last year it was easily $47 million for just acute medical care, and that's a very, very conservative estimate," Murray said.That figure doesn't include include the public health expense of mosquito control. Researchers noted that a recent study showed that the cost of aerial spraying in Dallas County alone exceeded $1.6 million.Longer-term medical costs are likely to be substantial because some of those affected will need continuing rehabilitation and may be disabled, as well as the possible risk of chronic kidney disease, Murray said.Researchers also observed a three-year pattern of increases in reported human cases in Texas."We may be going into a cycle where we see an even larger outbreak every 10 years," Murray said. The 2012 outbreak in Texas was more than two times the previous high, which occurred in 2003 with 735 cases, she said.When comparing 2012 cases with the previous 10 years of data, researchers found no difference in the severity of the disease with regard to age.Researchers did find that older adults, minorities, and males were at highest risk for developing the severe form of the disease, which happens when the virus invades the nervous system.Texas at epicenterIn 2012, Texas was the epicenter of the largest West Nile outbreak in U.S. history with 1,868 cases reported and 89 deaths, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. Nationally, there were a record 5,387 cases and 243 deaths in 2012, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Of the 254 counties in Texas, 135 reported at least one West Nile case, and the overall incidence rate for the state was 7.8 cases per 100,000 population, the study said.Nearly half of the cases (48 percent) were reported in North Texas counties: 259 in Tarrant (14 percent), 396 in Dallas (21 percent), 183 in Denton (10 percent) and 64 in Collin (3 percent), according to the study. Those four counties had a combined incidence rate of 16 cases per 100,000 population.The outbreak peaked in mid-August with 225 reported cases, which is historically the time all prior outbreaks of West Nile in Texas from 2002 to 2011 peaked, the study said.Tarrant County responseIn response to the 2012 outbreak, Tarrant County expects to spend an additional $500,000 over two years to combat the virus, according to County Administrator G.K. Manius. This year, the county started its mosquito surveillance program a month earlier than in the past and added 150 fixed-location mosquito traps. Another 50 mobile traps were utilized to respond to field operations and citizen complaints, said Dr. Anita Kurian, associate director for the Tarrant County Health Department.In 2012, county health officials relied on 30 to 50 mobile trapping units."The difference this year is that it's pretty systematic sampling. In the past, traps were haphazardly placed and haphazardly sampled. It's important to check the traps week after week to give us an idea of what exactly is happening," Kurian said."The data we are collecting [are] more valid and more reliable. We can identify hot spots and that enables us to focus our prevention efforts."This year, the county has recorded 21 positive mosquito samples compared with 84 in 2012, she said. There have been only two human West Nile cases in Tarrant County, one in Fort Worth and one in Keller. In the meantime, additional work needs to be done to develop predictive models for West Nile virus, Murray said, noting that the 2011 drought and the mild winter of 2012 may have contributed to the outbreak."This shows us how unpredictable West Nile can be, and how we always need to remain vigilant in looking for it, especially early on in the season so that it can be prevented," Murray said.

World's first solar cycle lane opens in the Netherlands
The solar panels could generate enough electricity to power three houses.
The solar panels could generate enough electricity to power three houses.
Australian scientists claim they are very close to having printable solar panels which could be used as an iPad or iPhone cover.
A powerful telescope in Chile has imaged the largest yellow star ever discovered. The star, called HR 5171 A, shines 12,000 light-years from Earth in the center of a new image released March 12. Known as a "yellow hypergiant," The star is more than 1,300 times the diameter of the sun, much larger than scientists expected after earlier observations, European Southern Observatory officials said in a statement.
Apple may be going green in the next few years, based on the latest patents given to the company, which reveal solar cells may soon be in all of Apple's devices. Apple appears to be creating a new device that can let natural light in and absorb the energy via solar cells in the devices. The key component in the patent is Smart Glass, or electrochromic glass. Acting like sunglasses, the glass can fluctuate its translucency to filter in light.
It's easy to take energy for granted, forgetting that throughout much of the world, a lack of power affects everything from business to education to matters of life and death. Approximately 1.5 billion people still don't have access to electricity worldwide, with an additional 1 billion having only intermittent access. By using the power of the sun -- the ultimate natural resource -- these issues can be ameliorated, if not solved.
During its first six months in space, NASA's IRIS telescope has snapped stunning images of an obscure layer of the sun, revealing previously unseen violence and complexity in the lowest slivers of our star's atmosphere, scientists say. The IRIS Observatory launched in June and its name is short for Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph.
Some innovations require a bit of hot air to get off the ground. Per Lindstrand, an aeronautical engineer and founder of hot air balloon manufacturer Lindstrand Balloons, has outlined plans for a 3,280-foot inflatable solar chimney that would harvest energy from the sun, and deliver power to remote locations. See also: 8 Amazing Green Buildings That Break Even on Energy Consumption Lindstrand is best known for taking a trip across the Pacific Ocean in a balloon with Richard Branson in 1991.
Google is investing $80 million in six new solar plants in California and Arizona that the company says will provide enough electricity for 17,000 homes in the United States. The investment is Google's 14th in renewable energy. The company has so far put more than $1 billion behind solar and wind projects since April 2010. Google is partnering with investment firm KKR for the venture; the lead developer is Recurrent Energy.
Looking to venture into great outdoors but not quite ready to go on a total tech detox? The Katabatic solar-powered tent might be the camping product you've been waiting for. Released by Eddie Bauer in collaboration with Goal Zero, the Katabatic tent offers a sun-soaking fabric on top which absorbs light all day that powers an outlet inside into which campers can plug in their gadgets.
Solar panel installations have become increasingly popular, but the solar panel manufacturing industry is in the doldrums because supply far exceeds demand. The poor market may be slowing innovation, but advances continue; judging by the mood this week at the IEEE Photovoltaics Specialists Conference in Tampa, Fla., people in the industry remain optimistic about its long-term prospects. The technology that's surprised almost everyone is conventional crystalline silicon.
Building solar and wind projects in the wrong place is wasting billions of dollars in Europe. Siemens says it would make sense to build solar power plants in sunny countries in Europe rather than in cloudy ones. And wind turbines should be built in windy places. These blindingly obvious suggestions run contrary to what's actually happening. For example, a solar panel in Spain generates about twice as much electricity as the same-size solar panel in Germany because the sun shines on it more.
Solar manufacturers like Suntech are struggling, but hundreds need to die for the industry to recover.
In Germany, installers added $1.20 to the cost of the solar panel to complete an installation. But in the U.S., they tacked on $4.36 per watt. Here's why.
There's a widespread informal energy market in Africa. Electricity sockets can be difficult to find and people walk (sometimes far distances) to charge their cellphones with diesel generators. San Francisco-based company Fenix International developed the ReadySet Solar Kit three years ago to help solve Africans' energy problems -- and now they're trying to bring it to the U.S. by using a Kickstarter campaign.
Apple's new data center in Maiden, N.C., will be one of the most energy efficient facilities of its kind, the company's 2012 environmental update reveals. To satisfy the huger power needs of the facility in an environmentally acceptable way, Apple is building the largest end user–owned, onsite solar array in the U.S. The 100-acre, 20-megawatt facility will supply 42 million kWh of clean, renewable energy every year.
The Global Innovation Series is supported by BMW i, a new concept dedicated to providing mobility solutions for the urban environment. It delivers more than purpose-built electric vehicles -- it delivers smart mobility services. Visit bmw-i.com or follow @BMWi on Twitter. The sun may be our greatest energy resource, but we're still extremely reliant on fossil fuels in the United States. According to the Energy Department, solar power accounts for just 1% of America's alternative energy production.
Further shoring up its green credentials, Google has invested $75 million in Clean Power Ventures, a startup that makes solar power generators for homes. The initial outlay, announced on Google's Green Blog, brings Google's total investment in renewable energy to $850 million. Clean Power Ventures has been licensing its proprietary software to solar panel installers but will now offer a new service: connecting solar power installers with investors like Google looking to buy solar power systems.
There are a lot of stereotypes out there about musician archetypes (lead singers are jerks, drummers are hyperactive, etc.). But Rubik defies all those cliches, as band members tag team with instruments to create jams that shimmer with life. "We were trying to abandon those traditional roles in the band -- where one is a drummer and one is a bass player and one players guitar and all that -- and just focus on ideas," says the band's Artturi Taira.
Environmental activist organization Greenpeace emphasized the environmental effects of cloud computing this Earth Day, releasing a report that assigns grades to 10 prominent technology companies based on how they power data centers. According to the report, computer servers in data centers account for about 2% of global energy demand and are growing their energy consumption at a rate of about 12% per year.
To help draw attention to its plans to build a thin-film solar panel plant in the U.S., General Electric has published an interesting study on the history and future of solar energy. Green tech and solar energy have been topics of focus in the U.S. in recent years and months. Last July, for example, President Obama announced the country would be investing around $2 billion in solar energy companies.
Google has just sealed a deal to invest $168 million in a Mojave Desert solar energy plant. The investment is going to BrightSource Energy, a company that develops and operates large-scale solar power plants, specifically to fund its Ivanpah project. Ivanpah is a solar electric generating system that uses solar thermal technology and "an environmentally responsible design," to deliver reliable, clean and low-cost power to Californians, according to the project's website.
Let's just get two things out of the way: I love Logitech. The K750 is a keyboard. It won't change your life. It won't even even help you type faster. It will, however, allow you to buy a few less batteries, as the K750 is solar powered, just like pretty much every calculator released since 1981. If you're thinking, "But, I haven't changed the battery to my wireless keyboard in forever," I'm with you. But it doesn't matter — it's the future and solar is hot right now.
Over the weekend, President Obama announced the Department of Energy would be giving almost $2 billion in conditional funding to two solar energy companies, Abengoa Solar and Abound Solar Manufacturing. Money will come from the $863 billion economic stimulus package. Projects funded by this move are expected to create more than 5,000 construction and permanent jobs.
Could this be the start of greener space programs? Next month, Japan is launching a spacecraft powered by solar sails into deep space. The Ikaros, as the vessel has been dubbed, will take to the skies on May 18, 2010. Ikaros stands for "Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation of the Sun." The name is also a reference to the Greek myth of Icarus, a young man who, with his father Daedalus, attempted to escape exile in Crete by fashioning wings of feathers and wax.
In 2012 a solar aircraft known as HB-SIA will attempt to fly around the world on solar power alone. Today that aircraft's prototype -- commonly referred to as Solar Impulse -- completed its inaugural flight in 87 minutes. Wired reports that Solar Impulse reached heights of 4,000 feet above land, its 12,000 solar cells fueling the journey. Today's landmark solar excursion was seven years in the making, but it's just the first run in a series of trials that will determine the project's ultimate success.
While we all anxiously await Apple's announcement on Wednesday -- presumably unveiling the Apple Tablet to the world -- speculations have taken a decidedly greener turn. The website Patently Apple has uncovered some patents filed by the tech giant related to the area of solar cells and solar power. Although the latest patent was officially published today, its application date goes all the way back to August 2008.
More interesting news from the electronic book reader department: shortly after Barnes & Noble announced plans to unveil the first color eReader, it looks like LG is vying to put out the first solar-powered digital book reader. The reader from LG Display will be equipped with a solar cell developed in-house, allowing the device to charge about a day's worth of reading time with 4 to 5 hours of exposure to sunlight.
Gadgets that are charged (or help you charge other gadgets) from the energy of the Sun have been around for quite a while, but they often have two drawbacks: they're too large, too clunky or too ugly, or they simply don't provide enough power to charge your device of choice.

A pat for the AJAX pavers
Date: June 10, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
What a difference 14 years makes.
For those who lived on Longboat Key in 1995, the last time Gulf of Mexico Drive was repaved, you probably remember how long and excruciating that process was. It was so slow that our Cops Corner report frequently reported Longboaters falling asleep and snoring at the steering wheel while waiting for their lane to re-open.
This year, AJAX pavers completed the job on Gulf of Mexico Drive and John Ringling Boulevard heading into St. Armands Circle in extraordinary time — and as far as we know, with no one falling asleep.
Asphalt technology obviously has changed. You probably noticed as you passed the machinery doing the repaving, the removal of the old asphalt was like scooping snow off a driveway.
Great job, AJAX. Now that's the power of private-sector innovation.

HoopsHype George Hill rumors
George Hill, who had been sidelined in Game 5 due to symptoms lingering from a concussion in Game 4, has been cleared to play in Game 6. Earlier in the day, Hill participated in shootaround and "looked fine" according to Pacers head coach Frank Vogel. Pacers.com
Over the last two days under the care of the Indiana Pacers' medical staff, George Hill has participated in each step of the NBA's Return-to-Participation Exertion Protocol as part of the NBA's Concussion Policy. During the process, George remained symptom-free after each step including his workouts earlier today. After consultation with Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, the NBA's Director of Concussion Management, the Pacers' team physicians have cleared George to play in tonight's game. Pacers.com
Indiana Pacers point guard George Hill took part in the team's shootaround at Bankers Life Fieldhouse today. But Hill, who suffered a concussion earlier this week, still isn't cleared to play in tonight's Game 6 against the New York Knicks at the fieldhouse. Pacers coach Frank Vogel said Hill still has some more steps he has to pass in the NBA's concussion protocol before he's cleared to play. "There's a long list of things that are part of the NBA's protocol," Vogel said. "He's in the middle of that process." Indianapolis Star
"I'm preparing for him not to play," Vogel said. "If he plays we'll be very happy about it." D.J. Augustin will start at point guard again if Hill remains out. Indianapolis Star
Scott Agness: George Hill was not a practice but he will meet with team doctors later today and take the concussion test. He remains day-to-day. Twitter @ScottAgness
Indiana Pacers starting point guard George Hill will miss Game 5 tonight with a concussion, an unfortunate turn for the Pacers who lead the New York Knicks 3-1 in their Eastern Conference semifinals series. Hill was hit in the head by Knicks center Tyson Chandler in Game 4 and now his return will be for a potential Game 6 or the start of the conference finals. Under the NBA's concussion policy, a player must pass an series of escalating physical tests before he can return to the court. USA Today Sports
Start with lots of George Hill, who did his best work of the night in that crucial third quarter stretch. "I tell George all the time, he's just as good as any point guard in this playoff run right now," Pacers All-Star Paul George said. "He plays at that level, we've got a chance to go far." New York Post
Hill admitted he wasn't 100 percent Sunday — and likely won't be for the rest of the playoff run. He's accepted it. "If it happens, it happens; if it hurts, it hurts," Hill said. "The way I deal with it is just thinking about the next play. I treat it as an out-of-sight, out-of-mind sort of thing." Indianapolis Star
In George Hill's mind, the hip is great. In reality, the hip hurts. "If you think about it, your mind starts playing tricks on you," Hill said after Sunday's 107-90 Game 1 win over Atlanta. "So when I go out there, I just try and think I'm at 100 percent. I try and block it all out." Indianapolis Star
"George Hill is a fighter," Pacers reserve Gerald Green said. "He's been dealing with that it seems like all season. But he knows we're in the most important part of the season. Nothing's stopping him from being out there." Indianapolis Star
Scott Agness: George Hill (groin) sat out the end of practice at the request of team trainers. He's not worried. T. Hansbrough sustained a mild ankle sprain. Twitter @ScottAgness
Before that, he sat at his locker and tried to expound upon his comment, which received negative fan responses on Twitter; local sports-talk radio shows; and in emails sent to The Indianapolis Star. One fan tweeted: "I'll be real sure to boo the (crap) out of you now on." "I'm not saying you can't be somebody's fan," said Hill, an Indianapolis native who went to Broad Ripple High School and IUPUI. "I was a Michael Jordan fan growing up, but when I did go to the games, I always rooted for my hometown team. "You root for who you want to root for, but I know one day that we're going to get it like it used to be at Market Square Arena. That's my dream, that's my goal from when I first got here, to help bring fans back. That's all I'm trying to do." Indianapolis Star
Hill was critical of fans who go to Bankers Life Fieldhouse to cheer for the opposition, saying he felt like 70 percent of the crowd was cheering for the Lakers on Friday. He has the backing of his coach and other members of the Pacers' organization. Coach Frank Vogel even joked before Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers that it felt that way "every time the Lakers scored." Indianapolis Star
Hill, a Broad Ripple High School graduate who played at IUPUI, took to Twitter to clear up his comments Saturday. "To clear the (air) I'm not talking about the fans that was there supporting us! I'm talking about the ones that were in purple" Hill added another Twitter message: "I Love INDIANA and that's why I say something about it because I care an I want everyone in the community to be apart of this team. #Togetherness" Indianapolis Star
As we interviewed David West following their bad loss to the Lakers, George Hill was a few feet away talking (pretty loud) to Roy Hibbert about the lack of Pacers fans in the building. Scott Agness (or Young Fella as I call him) from Pacers.com and I asked Hill about all the (Lakers) fans in the building. Hill didn't back down what he was saying to Hibbert. I've decided to post the full transcript of what Hill said. Post your thoughts in the comment section. "It sucks. It was 70 (Lakers fans) – 30 (Pacers fans) out there. These are the same people that wants autographs after the game. We're out there in the community. We're doing our job, doing what we're supposed to do on and off the court. Something has to change. I tip my hat to this team. We've been trouble free. Been out in the community shaking hands, we're winning. It shouldn't feel like an away game, especially with an important like this. Tonight, that's what it felt like." Indianapolis Star
"They always say your fans are your sixth man and you feed off that energy. Energy is down and we turn the ball over and we're hearing cheers. We're missing shots and we're hearing cheers. That kind of brings your head down cause you know you're at home. It shouldn't be like that. Now we see how it is. We have to move forward, don't worry about. Stay focus on what's in this locker room and don't worry about the rest." "(We're) not a team that's in the bottom in the East. We're one of the top three teams in the East. We're winning the Central Division and it should show. Right now it's not and it's been all season long where it's not showing and I don't think there's nothing else we can do as an organization and as players. Now it's up to the community." Indianapolis Star
The Pacers have had just four sellouts this season; opening night, both Miami games and against Chicago earlier this week. While they have increased attendance by 1,320 fans a game from last season, that's still not enough. "It's very disappointing," Pacers guard and Indianapolis-native George Hill said. "The fans show up when we play the marquee teams, but they show up wearing the marquee team's clothes. We feed off them. As much as we can get people there, the better off we're going to be." Indianapolis Star
However, George Hill scored 19 points, D.J. Augustin had a season high-tying 18 and Indiana rallied to beat the Bobcats 96-88 Saturday night for its fourth straight win. Lance Stephenson added 17 points and David West had 14 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists for his first triple-double. "That was a really good win," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "A lot of guys stepped up, in particular David West with a triple-double." Charlotte Observer
Indiana Pacers guard George Hill will recognize 10 young, Hoosier community leaders in the making and be part of a partnership that will give a $5,000 scholarship to one of them at an upcoming Pacers' game. Hill is partnering with Herff Jones, the Indiana High School Athletic Association and the National Federation of State High School Associations to create the scholarship, which will be announced at the March 22 Pacers vs. the Milwaukee Bucks game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The winner, who will be chosen by a committee that includes Hill, will receive a $5,000 college scholarship, courtesy of Herff Jones, to the accredited school of his or her choice. Indianapolis Star

Zoraki 906 Converted To Live Firing(.380ACP Subcompact Back-up Gun)
What do you think about this video?
Roger Gurman: Try converting one of the Umarex blank guns...
swalmima: are you a zionist?
Jobe Jahova: How reliable are the blank firing conversion guns? Just wondering. I've put thousands of rounds down range and there is nobody on this green Earth who can become a good shooter without going to the range often and practicing multiple platforms and safety operations. I go to the range at least twice a month, maybe more. Can one of these blank conversions hold up to range time that often?
Ivor Biggun: If you carry a pistol, it is only a matter of time before you use it. Then, you will put in prison and be butt f***ed by an older con with no teeth and a diseased pencil. Good luck with that plan.
Hasan YÜKSEK: Süper colleksiyon
Voluspa / Asatru: I would like to ask the most obvious of all the questions. WHY would you ever even try to convert a toy "gun" into a real one, instead of just buying the real gun in the first place??? I know quite well about firearms. These "experiments" are just too dangerous. May blow up right in your face. Sorry. But I just do not get this "jewish humor". Just buy the REAL handgun, in ANY caliber of your choice. Safe, reliable and effective. And that is advice for ALL who watched this.
splewy: Why would you convert a blank gun to live fire?
Eric Miller: Are you with or against the Muslim Brotherhood or whatever that is?
Eric Durant: P.S. Judging from how you talk and carry yourself, I guarantee that within 2-3 years you'll be in prison or dead. Can't own a real gun like a real man? Fight with your fist you coward. "Look at my brass knuckles and my fancy kit that I can't bring anywhere to fire because it's illegal and I'm a dumb crap and can't own any real guns". I hope your toys blow up in your face.
Giuseppe Calaventano: in my country (thailand) zoraki , ekol etc. blank guns converted to .380acp with new stainless rifled barrel
DAcanyousaymreyes: you are my hero lol , wish i could learn from you
Straznov: Fools! The lot of you.
Vincent Gilliam: Hey man we need to talk?
Στολτιδης Κωνσταντινος: very clever ,and intelligent,bravo my friend.
MsUncleKevin: Do you even have flutes in those barrels?? Gun is very inaccurate with out them.
Richard Phillips: Shoot a Muslim 4 me
KopperKid555: I hope you go to jail your an IDIOT... You clearly can't even be responsible when owning a TOY GUN... Ur a freakING DUMB ASS... I don't know if you understand what I'm saying... THIS IS ILLEGAL AND DANGOURAS... YOUR A freakING DUMB AAAAAASSSSSSSS.
Jason Blake: I think this is dangerous.. Real guns are made with massive steal that can handle the pression and explosion of the bullet. But i'm not judging,maybe you're a professional! Somehow the barrels looks well.
Ray Ray: why do you keep saying yes?
Nigel Williams: The hardest part to me seems to be making the chamber for the round(.380Auto) wich I though had to be exactly 9.02mm simply using a 9mm drill cannot get the job done i'd think...
Vincenzo Pirozzi: I await your answers with useful information, accurate and detailed .... thanks
jordan horst: +JewishJouleGenerator if i were to buy a ekol or other brand blank gun, could i drill out the bore and add a steel insert, would that be strong enough for .22 or .17hmr
Eric Durant: Rich kid with rich toys...that look unused. Idiot.
santy fox: Zoraki 906 converted to live firing(.380ACP Subco…: http://youtu.be/2f7EiqRDC04 Zoraki 906 liverada calibre 9×17mm-380 a.c.p- 308 auto-9mm corto
leurbanparkour: i enjoy your videos vato
Eff Yoo: Loose lips sink ships. Why post this illegal crap. I understand why you would need to do this but freak man, keep it to yourself.
Vincenzo Pirozzi: hello, I also own a M906 zoraki equal to your ... well I would like to convert it into 380 or ACP or 32 acp .... I would like information on how to convert how to unlock the barrel and make a thread thanks you are a great compliment xi your works are fantastic ... as a result I want to buy the zoraki 917 if I can convert it from your friend vincenzo ... hello from Italy ....

mark lopez: Wow u play with that hammer to much.
Tom Szpak: Why don't you just get a 9mm SCCY it's the same price as the zoraki 929 and the full auto one? I live in Colorado usa, did you do this do to gun ban in your country? Because real 380acp used go for under$100 in Colorado, the blank gun zoraki is just as if not more expensive then a real gun that you don't have to worry about blowing up in your hand. In Iraq war I had a ak47 we confiscated explode and I had to get three hand surgeries to make my hand fully functional again. So brother please be careful I don't want that to happen to you too. Shalom
mtothem1337: Why do you convert the 9mm PAK guns into .380? can't the handle a 9mm if you bore the barrel out?
Junie Rivera: Can u email me I have a few questions on how to convert them my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Diego Curihual: what if I convert this kind of weapons (blank pistols) to shoot some sort of wax bullets, if i would protect my self, i'd rather to injure my assailant and not kill him, in my country, buying a gun is extremly expensive and difficult, besides, every day you risk the fact to get robbed, injured or in the worst of cases, be killed. Is it a good idea? xD. I'm just asking....
Andrew Varone: Hey JewishJouleGenerator please shoot me a email at email@example.com I am a life long gun nut as you and have a few questions :)
blokkfighter: Can u show us a Tutorial vid, how u do this Convert? i'm in Germany, here are Guns illegal..
Rico Ross: I have a few questions about this. Can you please send me an email. email@example.com???
Logon Handson: I see there are still a lot of people on here who still don't know what they are talking about.Converting blank guns have been going on a long time way before he started doing it.It is perfectly safe if you know what you are doing. .9mmPak & .380ACP are pretty much the same round.
sloppy joe: Yes yes yes yes yes yes...........
Adam Neal: those are just lead hoses without rifling.
Faviel Norud: 💩

About Kimberly Wynn
Welcome to the Magic Holiday House 2! As our first property, The Magic Holiday House's calendar was filling up quickly, we thought it would be great to have another property for other guests to visit. Our story started out with a growing family with young children, and finding ourselves visiting Disneyland and California Adventure more and more often. We often thought how great it would be to enjoy the parks as they should be enjoyed - at a relaxed and unrushed pace. We also thought it would be wonderful to have the opportunity to take breaks during the day, head back to a place to unwind and then walk back to the parks afterwards re-energized and ready to take on more rides and shows with the kids! Fireworks at night anyone?!?
Kimberly Wynn purchased this condo in 2013
Why Kimberly Wynn chose Anaheim
So when we envisioned the Magic Holiday House 1, we thought just that: create a comfortable, warm, inviting atmosphere that was easy distance to the parks, packed with thoughtful conveniences and amenities every busy mom and dad need, and also, be a Jiminy Cricket's hop away from shopping, restaurants, and theaters (also known as Downtown Disney)!
What makes this condo unique
Both of our places are stocked with comfortable linens, towels, well-equipped kitchen - anything that you might want to get a good night's sleep after the excitement of the parks, and ready to take on another day there, or even the long trip home, refreshed and ready.
We think that both these places offers the warmth, convenience and comfort that every family wants to "get away from it all", so that you and your loved ones can focus on the joy and happiness that your holiday was meant to bring to you.
And please know that if by chance there was anything that left you wanting, do not hesitate to send us suggestions so that the next time you visit, who knows - a little pixie dust might have just made the place a little more magical.

We know you secretly love them even now as an adult. They're probably one of the first things that come to mind when you hear the word Easter. And they undoubtedly bring to mind images of the Easter baskets of your childhood.
Of course, we're talking about Peeps. Yellow Peeps. Blue Peeps. Green Peeps. Purple Peeps. Peeps shaped like ducks. Peeps shaped like bunnies. They were possibly the sweetest Easter treat of all.
Alas, if only Peeps were actually as good for us as the memories they evoke. To be honest, they're pretty bad. Here's the ingredient list:
Sugar, Corn Syrup, Gelatin, Contains less than 0.50.5% of Potassium Sorbate, Flavor(s) Artificial, Yellow 5, Carnauba Wax
O.k. Peeps are marshmallows, so we expect for them to contain a lot of sugar. Until you get past the fourth ingredient, Peeps are just a treat. Then we get to the artificial flavors and color. And the Carnauba wax — which we more commonly associate with polishing our cars, not food.
Can you still give your kids the pleasure of Easter Peeps without the bad ingredients? Can you still enjoy sneaking a Peep during the Easter season? FoodFacts.com thinks you can. Just make marshmallows!
Here's what you'll need:
1 cup water
3 tbsns gelatin
2 cups organic white sugar
Coconut oil
Natural food coloring (such as India Tree)
Here's what you'll do:
Place 1/2 cup of the water in a large bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over it.. Let it sit for a few minutes.
Put the sugar and the other 1/2 cup of water in a small pot and bring to a boil while stirring.
Once the mixture is a rolling boil (or 242F with a candy thermometer), pour the hot sugar water mixture over the gelatin/water mixture and beat with an electric mixer for about 10 minutes until the combined mixture turns into marshmallow with peaks. Add food coloring in the amount required amount to achieve desired color while whipping the marshmallow mixture.
Pour the mixture into a 9X13 glass dish that has been coated with some coconut oil. Let it sit out for several hours until firm (about 12 hours).
Remove marshmallow from dish in one large piece and cut out desired peeps shapes small cookie cutters.
While we can't exactly call them healthy, let's remember they are a seasonal treat. A little holiday indulgence made with ingredients you know and trust is a far better alternative to the store bought tradition that includes some rather unsavory ingredients. Homemade Peeps in your Easter baskets help make sure you'll know what's really in your kids Easter treats. You can even sneak a treat for yourself and feel a lot better about it!

On Capitol Hill and well beyond the confines of Washington, government contracting executives are taking their concerns to Congress – and employees are fretting within their offices and homes – about the "doomsday" prospects of sequestration. But according to one study, their fears may be off-base.
The sweeping budget cuts would slash more than $1 trillion from government budgets, and contractors are bracing for impact and preparing for job losses – especially in the defense industry as the Defense Department will bear a significant portion of the cuts. However, historically speaking, the top five defense contractors actually employed more people when the DOD budget was smaller – even smaller than what would emerge after sequestration's effects.
According to the Project on Government Oversight, between 2006 and 2011 "total employment at the companies declined even as the total federal contract dollars awarded to the firms rose."
The companies included in the study were Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon.
The report noted that according to Federal Procurement Data System information, the amount of money awarded to companies in government contracts increased from $91 billion in fiscal 2006 to $113 billion in fiscal 2011. Even after adjusting for inflation, it's still an increase of more than 10 percent.
Despite the increases, job creation hasn't matched up.
At Lockheed, contract awards have increased by 32 percent since 2006 but employment has shrunk, with 17,000 fewer jobs – a 12 percent decrease. At Raytheon, contract values have grown more than 50 percent, but employment has declined by 11 percent, according to POGO.
A spokesperson for Raytheon told the watchdog organization that the figures are "a clear indication of the company's productivity."
But it's not clear that's the case. And even if it is, it's not clear that it's the sole reason behind the incongruent figures. POGO is exploring a few different potential explanations, according to Ben Freeman, who wrote the blog post.
One possibility POGO is investigating is the level of compensation for industry executives; for example, Lockheed CEO Robert Stevens had total compensation valued at $25.4 million in 2011, according to public filings.
Another is the increasing use of sub-contractors, Freeman said.
It's also possible insourcing may have an impact on the shrinking employment numbers in the defense industrial base.
"If they're cutting people, it's possible they're being sourced and lumped in with the Defense Department. But if that's true, we should be seeing less money going into government contractors than into DOD. We aren't seeing that," Freeman said.
In his research, company spokespeople often said the decreasing job numbers are the results of efficiency initiatives, Freeman added.
"A lot of them said, 'Our main customer is going through [efficiency efforts], so we have to try to slim down too," he said.
The POGO report did acknowledge the findings are not uniform. For example, Boeing and General Dynamics both increased the number of employees between 2006 and 2011; General Dynamics was the only firm studied that both earned more contracting money and added jobs.

For almost 20 years give or take a 13-year hiatus its been anticipated and feared at every My Bloody Valentine show, including a string of reunion gigs for the recently resurrected band, to the excitement of deafened ears and nauseated stomachs. Author Mike McGonigal, who wrote about the bands Loveless album for the 33 1/3 book series, described it as "what it must be like to stick my head inside a jet engine. After a reunion show in June, Bradford Cox (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound) blogged that "it was the single loudest thing I have ever experienced. The sound moved my face. My balls retracted. It was like standing in front of the mouth of hell.This powerful sonic blast is the middle segment of "You Made Me Realise, My Bloody Valentines 20-year-old, four-minute single. Described to McGonigal by MBV singer, guitarist and producer Kevin Shields as "such a huge noise with so much texture to it, it allowed people to imagine anything, with this one song MBV started a sonic revolution that has lasted two decades.Shields and MBV are revered for their studio trickery and musical innovation, all the more so because their classic 1991 swansong, Loveless, will go down in history as one of the greatest albums ever made. But MBVs longest-lasting achievement was popularising a short-lived period of music built on introspective, often morose songs masked with transmutation between noisy and serene soundscapes.The press mostly called it "shoegazing, a term met with hesitation by those in the scene and overwhelming praise from critics with something new to write about. There were brief flirtations with chart success by innovators My Bloody Valentine and pin-ups Ride, but the splash of Nirvanas Nevermind in 1991 brought the advent of grunge. Unlike shoegazing a scene that never had a true figurehead, arguably due to MBVs failure to complete a long sought-after Loveless follow-up grunge swept the world. The more mainstream Britpop scene moved in on the gazers territory in 1993 (even converting a few, like Ride and Lush, who swapped distortion pedals for crisp jangle and straight-up hooks) to become a global phenomenon. From there, it was only a matter of time before the introverted kids that eschewed an image for the sake of the music would either fold or reinvent their sound.But a funny thing happened after those pioneering bands disassembled their pedal boards. Their legacy continued not so much in the homeland of its birth, but worldwide, particularly in North America. Labels like Darla, Clairecords and Morr released new records that captured the eras spirit while evolving the sound of swirling guitars. As Shields said, the moment in "You Made Me Realise that allowed people to imagine anything started being heard in unimagined scenes: the extended jams of post-rock, the chest-caving low end of drone and doom metal, the tranquil fringes of electronica and the more obvious realms of pop and rock.Like any genre, "shoegazing has many parents; most date the first traces back to the drugged-out noise and motionless performances of the Velvet Underground. More obviously, the groundwork was laid in early 80s Britain by the Cure albums Faith and Pornography, by the swirling buzz-saw noise and anti-social behaviour of the Jesus & Mary Chain, the ethereal textures of Cocteau Twins and the hypnotic drones of Spacemen 3. Noisier sounds emanating from the U.S. Dinosaur Jr., Hüsker Dü and Sonic Youth added another element."This is always a tricky question, according to Clairecords founder Dan Sostrom. "Theres always a constant evolution of sound and its hard to pinpoint one specific instance. A semi-recent discovery for me is Rhys Chatham. He was making incredible guitar compositions in the 70s that to me are a great precursor to the shoegaze movement. Nobody ever seems to name-check him though.As a scene, shoegazing coalesced in London around the release of MBVs 1988 debut Isnt Anything, inspiring dozens of bands to build effects-laden guitar sounds, playing loud, eddying melodies. The press caught on quickly, and independent labels like Creation and 4AD did too. Most bands were British: Slowdive, Ride, Lush, Moose, Pale Saints, Curve, the Telescopes, Seefeel, Revolver, Chapterhouse and Secret Shine, but the U.S. spawned the Swirlies, Medicine, Drop Nineteens, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Smashing Orange and Lilys. Even Canadians like An April March and Gleet (later SIANspheric) got in on it.In its earliest days, terms like "dream pop were thrown around by the UK music press; British journalist Steve Sutherland even dubbed it "the scene that celebrates itself, a dig at the incestuous tendency of bands to support their peers. But "shoegazing is the term that stuck, to the chagrin of many participants.Page 2 » GET IT!

Lara Stone and David Walliams to tie the knot
Has a "laydee" finally tamed the heart of funny man David Walliams? It seems so...
The star of Little Britain has popped the question to his model girlfriend, Lara Stone. Despite only dating for five months, the pair confirmed that they are "blissfully happy" and are planning to marry.
Returning to London this week from a New Year's holiday in Mexico, Lara showed off the gorgeous vintage Tiffany engagement ring that David gave her. Making sure he did things the traditional way, David first sought permission from the Dutch model's parents.
"We were not going to make any formal announcement because I am not Royalty... yet," he joked. Wonder which designer will get the lucky job of designing her gown. Or will it be sponsored by Louis Vuitton, I wonder.
