Ask the Industry
Why Have We Seen So Many Transactions?
Why now? Why so early? Why so many at once?
The questions were obvious after the Hot Stovepocalypse, as Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller titled their podcast running down the Tuesday transactions that had various levels of impact on 14 different teams. (I voted for Beane-anza.)
Mix in the stunning trade of Doug Fister to the Nationals the night before, and it was a seismic 24-30 hours for Major League Baseball. Where this date ranks in the annals of transactions is difficult to establish scientifically, and not all that important. For instance, the Jacoby Ellsbury-to-the-Yankees transaction will officially happen at some date in the future when all the paperwork is done, but it served as the nightcap to the wild day that we won't argue with calling no. 1.
Baseball has always been a sport that's taken its time, building over roughly a month toward the Winter Meetings. Nobody is suggesting that it's headed toward the NFL's signing day frenzy. But why has the pace picked up?
The questions were obvious, but the answers weren't.
So we reached out to a couple dozen front office officials, from general managers on down the organizational chart. We heard back from many of them, with many expressing their own confusion and internal dialogue asking the same questions.

#6 is the worst. answer. ever. There was a full slate of midweek action in the Prem after a great weekend. Everton-Man U - Moyes' first game against the Toffees (KG's favorite team). Two London derbys, a seven-goal thriller for Chelski and, most importantly, Arsenal stay top thanks to NB52.

I will assume that whoever dinged my comment was just mad that I didn't mention Luis Suarez's hat trick and not because they thought I was being serious.

Soccer is dreadfully boring, though... I think what Zach wrote holds.
Dec 05, 2013 17:05 PM
Boring is the eyes of the beholder. I think soccer is amazing and it always surprises me when baseball fans don't see it the same way. To me, they are very similar in pace, thoughtfulness and aesthetics.

In my opinion, of course, for "following" a sport, nothing comes close to baseball, but for sitting and watching a regular season game on TV, Premeir League blows away the 4 major North American sports. I find it mesmerizing. The action rarely stops. A goal could come any moment the ball comes close. The athleticism is beautiful. Baseball, basketball, and football have endless play stoppages that strain my tiny patience. Hockey has fewer and is a faster paced game, but you can't see the player's faces and the camera misses much of the significant action with the players who are not near the puck. On the wider camera angles you can't see the puck.

(n) when one pop's a boner at a funeral, or a wake
Damn man, did you see Jimmy's dead grandma?? she gave me mourning wood.
作者 Greg "El Capitan" 2006年4月15日
When you get an erection due to nostalgic thoughts of an ex-lover.
Dude 1: "Stacy's ass was so nice... I miss it so much..." *pops boner*
Dude 2: "Did you just get mourning wood?!"

When a man's penis becomes erect due to the process of mourning or grieving.
It was difficult for Frank's family to ignore his mourning wood as he gave the eulogy, especially since it was so close to the casket.

When you're afraid of getting sexually aroused for a short period of time after one of your close relatives passed away because you think they're watching over you from heaven.
Guy: Dude, I saw some wicked porn last night, but ever since gammy passed away, I've had sever Mourning Wood..
Dude: You mean like when you wake up?
Guy: No... Look it up on urban dictionary dumbass

n- when one wakes to find he has morning wood, but also has to urinate so bad it hurts.
I was so happy when I woke up with morning wood, but then I realized I had to piss, my morning wood had turned into mourning wood.
作者 Wildcard55 2010年10月09日
It's akin to the more widespread 'morning wood', but instead of being a function of a typical male, it is instead a daily reminder to necrophiliacs. It does involve an erection upon regaining consciousness, but instead of being caused by lustful porn stars, it's caused by sadness that your lover last night is now six feet under, and you are depressed, but more so you are excited at the thought of having them once. Hence the title 'mourning wood'
Doug: Hey man, that party we had at the cemetery last night was a blast.
Mike: Yeah, i found a 40-something blond amongst the oldies. I definitely had some mourning wood when i woke up.

Wolves at home may not stir the blood like a visit from Liverpool, but for one Reds legend, it takes some beating in the reminiscence stakes.
Sammy McIlroy still fondly remembers 3 October 1981 when the Wanderers weren't the only men from the Midlands to step onto the Old Trafford turf. Bryan Robson, bought for a British record £1.5m from Wolves' local rivals West Brom, signed his United contract on the pitch before the game - a stunt fashioned by flamboyant Reds boss Ron Atkinson.
As McIlroy recalls, Robson was tipped to take his place in the team, at a time when shirts were numbered one to eleven, there was only one sub on the bench and rotation was for crops, not football squads.
"Ron brought in Remi Moses and Bryan Robson, two midfielders, and that shook us up a little bit because I was playing in midfield at the time," Sammy told us.
"The press were saying that someone had to go to balance the books, so myself and Ray Wilkins were under a bit of pressure."
The way Sammy responded to the pressure was admirable - initially at least. While the besuited Bryan Robson watched from the stands, the man he was supposed to replace took the Wolves game by the scruff of the neck and notched

Levi Johnston Playgirl Pictures: Nude & Released!by Free Britney at . Comments
Dying to see Levi Johnston in Playgirl, hockey stick and all?
Then you better get ready to enter your credit card number.
The magazine is milking this thing for all it's worth, telling visitors that they must JOIN NOW TO SEE LEVI JOHNSTON NUDE! Or, um, so we've heard.
Yeah, someone told us ...
The bottom line? Despite massive hype, you won't even see Levi Johnston nude ... at least full-frontal style. We also don't recommend going to Playgirl's website.
Well, unless your idea of a good Saturday night is being inundated by pop-ups and pop-under ads featuring naked men, in which case, what are you still doing here?!
For your shirtless hunk fix, we suggest the new Twilight movie instead (check out our New Moon review). Taylor Lautner's torso is basically the star of the thing.
Anyway, if you're still interested, we've got another naked (well, semi-naked) picture from Levi's Playgirl spread for you after the jump. Follow it if you must ...
There is a big difference between exploiting oneself and exploiting others... Sarah "Mooselini" Palin exploits others. She is far worse then this guy, a has-been pageant princess with the brain cells to match. I bet he regrets the day he ever stuck his wick in the Palin trough, now he has to deal with that right-wing, bigoted moron for the rest of his life.
He's attractive enough. Probably more so than most of the guys commenting and more so than most of the men with whom the commenting ladies are fucking. Is he perfect? no. Is he a good-looking, regular guy? yes. Give him a break. He's spent time with Sarah Palin and her insane family. He deserves to cash in.
Ok, so I think Palin is a moron with a pretty face. Now I think Levi is a moron with a pretty....face. What a gene pool! She's such a phony and he can't even use proper grammar. What a bunch of idiots. Guess they're not smart enough to stay out of the limelight. They really should hide under a rock in Alaska. What a gene pool.....
DISAPPOINTMENT! I hope they didn't pay him much for just showing his flat AZZ and some pubic hairs! You can go to a amateur site and see better goods from people posting for FREE!
You are all hypocrite. I'm sure when the magazine is out you will all buy the mag and want to see his package.
I don't know what every one is talking about... He is so sexy!! WOW.. I think he is dreamy.. he is so beautiful..
Leave the kid alone - he is just a little lost and not doing anyone any harm. And by the way I think he is cute - you folks are just jealous Playgirl isn't calling you!!!!!
What a great message to send out to the North American public - knock up your girlfriend, exploit her and her family, trash your "baby mamma's" family in public and get a spread in Playgirl! America, you've come full circle. At this rate, John Gosselin will be the spokesperson for Children's Aid by year's end.
I was looking forward to seeing him nude but he chickened out. Did anyone hear that he is really, um well, let's just say his endowment was that of a wild field mouse? I thought I heard that the photographers are the ones that pulled the plug on the naked shots.... I would just crawl under a rock at that point! Apparently they spent hours trying to plump him up! I guess it could not even be photo shoped.
I think the photo layout was discreet, artistic, and restrained.

Larry Birkhead: The Latest Cry for Attentionby Hilton Hater at . Comments
This is how a real pimp rolls.
Once the cameras grow weary of your attempts to remain in the news by thrusting your daughter in the spotlight, you must adjust. How does a dedicated, shameless attention-getter change things up?
By exploiting his deceased child's mother, right, Larry Birkhead? The former lover of Anna Nicole Smith was spotted out in attire that bears her face this week.
Larry Birkhead: Anne Nicole Smith t-shirts, and dignity, for sale! [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
A photographer, Birkhead knows what sells. That's why he's seen here in a shirt that honors Anna Nicole Smith in the most appropriate way possible: by milking her likeness for fame and fortune.
It's really not a question of how much Birkhead made for posing with this top on. It may have been nothing at all. It's a question of how he sleeps at night.
** THG CORRECTION: Larry Birkhead is not a pimp in the literal sense. He does not manage a harem of prostitutes. We jokingly used the term to refer to his propensity for shamelessly posing for pictures with his daughter, an endeavor for which he is likely paid. We regret the error.
I agree with every word he doesn't appear to be a good dad at all. He looks like he is using his daughter to make money and to be famous. He should keep his daughter far, far away from that like style and find a good wife to help him raise her. But i guess he would have to share the fame and the few dollars he's milkin off of his kid for...Shame on him! Anna died because she was treated the same way like a peice of meet to be photographed. Lets here about her education and her intellgence...this is getting old.
EVERYBODY stay off LARRYS NUTS! You people are way to Jealous! Get a mother fucking Lives!
Pride 2010 all you can eat sweet pea Buffet! DERRICK booty waddle will sell the tasty treat! so everybody head on down to the Tabloid and get you's a coupon 10,000 dolla off sponsored by the national MIss Bitch Festival! We will Take food stamps! get them while they are HOT! MR RUDE!
LARRY AND ANNA are 2 sexy people!!!!!!
Really, Larry? Just when I thought that he had given up the camera, he comes roaring back. Too bad that the shirt is not appropriate for court appearances- I bet it would have an interesting effect on any potential jurors in the pending Howard K. Stern wrongful death suit. Speaking of trials, any chance that the 9th circuit will issue a ruling on Marshal v. Marshal any time soon? The longer they wait, the more time scrupulous gold diggers have to attempt to circumvine the well respected probate system via strategic bankruptcy (ala ANS). We really need them to come back soon- if not for all of those who want to be secure in their wills, for Dannielynn, who may be responsible for the ever mounting legal bills!
I totally agree with "something out of nothing," this is soooo lame and you are the ONLY ones that seem to have a problem with this. I think it's very sweet that Larry is sporting an Anna shirt. I have a permanate Anna Nicole tattoo and am proud to sport it for the rest of my life, in her memory.
Who cares? I have 2 Anna Nicole shirts, and no, I'm not famous, but maybe, like me, he wanted to wear it in honor of the recently passed anniversary. Anna liked to have face around, and LOVED the idea of herself being PERMANENTLY tattooed on people's bodies (as she is on mine)...What's so slimy about keeping Anna's memory alive? It says in this article that "he knows what sells"....What is the original source of this picture? Because I have only seen it here. So, so far, you guys seem to be the only one "buying".
I do not see any thing wrong,with the t-shirt,When Anna first passed away,I want at this mall where I live,and there was a guy with a booth there making shirts with Anna and Dannielyn pictures on them.he was selling them.I asked him did he have the right,to be do this,selling those shirt,he said no one could stop him.People will do any thing to make a buck,not just Larry.
Just when you thought he couldn't get any slimier, he pulls out this.
i like the t-shirt. yer just being catty. stfu.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet.
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

Basketball players and boxers, in particular, like to talk about how they get no respect. What this usually means is that the athlete allegedly being disrespected (see also: "dissed") feels his opponent is not showing proper regard for the dissee's sporting skill. Denver-area curlers, though, have a much more basic definition. When they say they don't get any respect, what they're really saying is that they can't play their game.
It's been nearly five years now since the Denver Curling Club has enjoyed any respect. "The club is in suspended status," says a grim Doug Deleff, the club's president. Indeed, Deleff is a club president much in the same way that the Dalai Lama is a head of state: Both are leaders without countries, landless chiefs. The Denver Curling Club is a curling club in name only.
It wasn't always so. Until 1995, the Denver Curling Club had its own sheet (the equivalent of a rink) in Commerce City, off Stapleton Drive, north of the old airport. The conditions were hardly what you'd call ideal. Their landlord didn't want a layer of ice lying directly on the concrete floor, so clubmembers trucked in enough sand to cover a 9,000-square-foot area a foot deep. They buried their refrigeration pipes in the sand and, at the beginning of each season in October, one or two members would literally live in the building, slowly building ice on top of the sand -- first a glittering smear of frozen crystals, then successive thin layers of ice, until a surface smooth and perfect as a mirror (curlers scorn hockey ice as inadequate) gleamed from the warehouse floor.
Outside, the building looked plain, even ugly. Inside, however, was a world-class curling sheet, good enough to attract national competitions. There was a comfortable lounge and a fully equipped kitchen where the potlucks were held. At the end of every season, about this time of the year, the club would host the infamous (within certain circles) Oilman's Bonspiel, a gathering of about 32 people in the oil business, usually Canadians who recalled the game longingly but who had time to play just once a year.
But then the outside world intruded on the happy scene within. During one match in 1994, members exiting the building found their car windshields pocked with bullet holes. The following fall, the club returned from its summer break and discovered more bullet holes in the building.
And so, when the landlord that fall also announced a 40 percent rent increase, "We decided that it was in the long-term best interest of the club to move out of Commerce City," Deleff remembers. "If we were going to maintain the integrity of the club, we knew we had to get out of Commerce City." Besides, how difficult could it be to find another curling sheet? Surely there was room for a curling club somewhere in the Denver area.
It is here that the disrespect began.
You may as well admit it right now: Unless you are a transplant from Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota or Canada, you really have no idea what curling is. And even if you have heard of it, you suspect it might be slightly ridiculous -- less of a genuine sport than two people frantically sweeping a path for an ice tortoise.
Yet players insist that the game is elegant, intelligent and athletic. "When people try to tell me curling isn't athletic, I say, 'Come out and play. And if when you walk off the ice you can still say this isn't athletic, you'll win the argument,'" says Pam Finch, a legal assistant and former world-class curler who grew up in North Dakota but who now lives in Denver. "Nobody's done it so far. I mean, there can be two and a half miles of sweeping in a match."
The game is a cross between shuffleboard, billiards and chess. Four-member teams try to position their 40-pound stones (made only of a special granite from Scotland called Blue Hone; a set of sixteen stones can cost $12,000) in a bull's-eye target area painted into the ice sheet. Players influence the path of the stone by sweeping in front of it with special brooms. Contrary to common perception, this is not to clear the ice of debris (although it once was, when the game was played on ponds). Instead, vigorous sweeping can actually melt the surface of the ice, thus creating a thin layer of water that allows the stone to glide even more fluently. Strong sweeping actually pulls a stone into position. Meanwhile, the opposing team attempts to displace the first team's shots and score its own points.
Although the game probably started in Scotland (this is hotly debated by some Eastern Europeans), it was the Canadians who adopted it and made it into an obsessive pastime. Televised curling often surpasses hockey in viewership. Top curlers can earn a handsome living through prize winnings, sponsorships and endorsements. Many are placed on corporate payrolls but permitted to curl practically full-time.
In the United States, however, the game remains more of a curiosity -- except, of course, in small pockets of clubs dotting the top half of the country and the frost-bound states of the northern plains. The first organized curling club was the Orchard Lake Curling Club, of Detroit, founded in 1832. The country's best-known curler, the legendary Bud Somerville, hails from Wisconsin. And the St. Paul Curling Club is the country's largest, boasting about 700 members.

A network of non-profit groups called the National Network of Abortion Funds that sprang up in 1993 to fund abortions for poor women included a Philadelphia fund founded in 1985 called the Women's Medical Fund. The Women's Medical Fund claimed it helped 1,532 women get money to pay for their abortions last year, but its executive director, Susan Schewel, said they never worked with Gosnell. Yet Schewel admitted that her organization's help line took calls from some women who had been at Gosnell's clinic, and that she attempted to help two women file complaints to the Pennsylvania Department of Health about him. But the two women gave up because the complaint process was too tedious and they didn't want to tell their own stories. Schewel stated, "We had heard stories over the years about care that seemed inappropriate. We had no idea--no idea--of how horrible things were there. We just didn't know. We thought there were little odds and ends of problems, but nothing like this ... All of us were completely surprised to learn how bad it was." But when asked why she didn't complain, she answered, "It really had to be a patient." Schewel was also asked why her feminist fund eschewed associating with Gosnell's facility, if she wasn't complaining to officials about it. She replied that there were stories of the caretakers at the facility wearing lab coats but no name tags. She admitted, "I think that's not OK. I think it's required by regulations to wear a name tag. It never occurred to us that these would be unlicensed people wearing lab coats." But in 2010 Pennsylvania passed legislation making identification requirement much stricter, requiring all medical personnel wear photo IDS that had their names and credentials in block letters.

Pediatric Advanced Care Team (PACT)
Many programs throughout the Hospital, including the Cancer Center, use the services of the Pediatric Advanced Care Team (PACT) to help children who are born with conditions or who develop diseases that cannot be cured.
We deliver palliative care to relieve pain and stress and meet your child's and family's psychological, social and spiritual needs. We support you by:
- Facilitating communication between your child, the members of your family, and your child's healthcare providers
- Helping you make decisions that best reflect your child's and your family's values and preferences
- Improving your child's and your family's quality of life
- Improving the management of symptoms that cause discomfort
- Providing emotional, social, spiritual and bereavement support
- Promoting continuity of care
- Delivering effective educational programs to healthcare staff
- Conducting research to better inform how we can best care for children with life-limiting conditions and support their families
Community outreach and advocacy
We believe the best system of pediatric palliative care spans the continuum from home and community care to hospital care and back.
We help coordinate the Partners in Pediatric Care Program, which links hospital end-of-life care programs with community-based hospice and home-care agencies. We also participate in other outreach and advocacy activities to help advance the quality of care for children living with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions.
For more information about the Partners in Pediatric Care Program, contact Gwenn LaRagione, RN, BSN.
Professional education
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is one of seven hospitals nationwide participating in the Initiative for Pediatric Palliative Care, an education and quality improvement effort aimed at enhancing family-centered care for children living with life-threatening conditions.
With funding from the National Institute of Nursing Research at the National Institutes of Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and other sources, we conduct studies that focus on how hospitals can better support families facing difficult decisions about a child's care, and how regional systems of care could be better organized to provide palliative support care services to children and their families.
For more information about our research, contact Chris Feudtner, MD, PhD, MPH.

Eurasian brown bear
Art Print | by John Morgan | #257985
Art Print | by John Morgan | #257985
The Eurasian brown bear has brown fur, which can shift from yellowbrownish to dark brown, red brown, and almost black in some cases. The fur is dense to varying degree and the hair can grow up to 10 cm in length. The shape of the head is normally quite round with relatively small and round ears, a wide skull and a mouth equipped with 42 teeth, including predatory teeth. It has a powerful bone structure, large paws, equipped with big claws, which can grow up to 10 cm in length. The weight varies depending on habitat and time of the year.
The bears east of Ural have to a larger extent brighter and more reddish colors. The Asian bears also seem to be more aggressive than the European bears.

After a caller yesterday amused radio host Rush Limbaugh with a comparison between Senator Barack Obama and beloved icon of children's literature Curious George, the radio host returned from a break and immediately apologized—no doubt at the behest of frantic staffers who somehow realized that noting a resemblance between an African-American man and a monkey might even be too racist for Rush Limbaugh's show. Limbaugh swore that he had never heard of the Curious George character ("I never heard of Curious George until that caller. I don't care how old Curious George is. I never heard of Curious George. I had no idea what she was talking about. Now they tell me Curious George is a monkey. ") and blamed his laughter at a joke involving someone he claims to have never heard of on the fact that he was "sick," presumably with that bigot flu that's going around. [Politico]

Sichuan Pavilion: a new find in Rockville
I was alerted to the opening of this place by Good Eats on a DR.Com thread. But she only reported a Chinese language review and had not eaten there herself.
410 Hungerford Drive
although it is around back and does not face or can be seen from Hungerford.
Went today for a 1pm lunch to find a sparkly place all bright in yellow and whites. There are two menus given out. the American Chinese menu and the Authentic Chinese Menu. The paper take home menu is filled with items from the Authentic menu. I feasted today:
#21 under small plates: Crispy Fungus & Pickled Peppers Salad. I have had this dish at Hong Kong Palace, Joe's and here int he past few weeks. The clear winner is this version. The wood ears are crispy as advertised and actually have flavor. The pickled peppers are nicely hot without a lot of burn and well vinagered. There is just enough garlic & ginger for flavor interest without too much. Great dish! The dish was noticably hot & spicy.
I ordered #28 small plates (each section is numbered starting at #1) Sichuan Mixed Pickled Vegetables but I think I got Sweet & Sour Spicy Cabbage Salad which is #25. Again, this was a home run! Where most version of this dish emphasize the sweet, here the sweet and sour are in perfect balance with spicy casting the tie breaking vote. WOW! There was a goodly kick of spice.
For an entree I ordered Pork #21: Bacon. sausage and dried bean curd with green peppers. This was a plate to behold: green chiles and green peppercorn, leegs, slivered pieced of pressed dry tofu, very fattty house smoked (at least it tasted like house smoked) bacon, what looked like smoked tongue slices and little sweet and tangy sausages all in a stir fry with just an oily residue at the bottom of the plate. All the flavorings were cook into the ingredients. Oh, lest I forget the final touch, loads of slices of garlic cooked to that perfect point where hot turns to sweet and yet its neither. This is a dish that harkens back to Brandy Ho's and Henry's Hunan of San Francisco at their best and stands tall. The waitress was concerned that it was spicy enough for me so she brought the hot chile flakes in oil that are part of htis dish for extra heat, which I partook of half way thru.
By now, I was pleasantly full but I thought what about my report of this meal? How could I not have a ma la dish to speak of? So strictly in the interest of science and journalistic completeness, I ordered Dan Dan noodles. What I got was a small dish of pretty plain boiled noodles topped with a bit of stir fried pork in a dark mode. The noodles needed white pepper & salt. Then I added a drop or two of white vinegar and mixed the noodles with the oil at the bottom of the bowl. The second bight went from the monochromatic ringtone on a cheap cell phone playing the Ride of the Valkyries to Furtwangler's version with the Viena Philharmonic {look it up on you tube!}. My self sacrifice, not to mention full tummy, are a small price to play for the delight offered by this $3.95 dish! Layers of flavor from a full dose of sichuan peppercorns, the porkyness of the bits of mystery meat, the mashed garlic & ginger in the sauce and thr fire added by either Mime the God of Fire or by a healthy slash of chile flakes fried in oil. The burn is now a pleasant glow nearly an hour after eating. When the bowl was empty, the bowl was characteristic of properly made Sichuan: nothing identifiable as a sauce, just a slick of oil because all the sauce like elements were cook into the ingredients allowing the oil to separate and run off.
Joe's, Hong Kong Palace are both very fine and I have been happy investigating their wondersful menus. But here is a new comer to the scene (open two weeks) that merits further research!
Enough food for two normal appetites was $21.00!
There was an incredible looking/smelling pork #10: pork & crispy rice cake served in sweet & sour sauce that the waitress insisted I try next time! The smell was redolent with vinegar & spice and the burning toastiness of perfectly cooked rice crusts.
re: flavrmeistr
It is in th lot where Saigon Taste used to be. Very non descript on the pike side/ Turn in before (South) of the maxim supermarket parking lot and go to the back.
re: deangold
Excellent. Thanks for the "hot" tip, amigo.
re: deangold
Sounds like it's right by Bob's? You could have a great chowdown shuttling between the two......
re: Geoff
Taking advantage of another day off to enjoy another lunch at SP. Saw a Morgan parked out front of the restaruant meaning Eroica38 was most likely inside. And he was. we joined forces and enjoyed the folowing:
Pork and sizzling rice cakes in sweet & sour sauce: very nicely done. Great sizzling rice cakes, not oily as they can be and very crispy with a nice stir fry of pork in a vinegar laced sauce with lots of ginger, garlic slices and a little heat of chile. Really good dish and a very generous portion.
Crispy fungus - as good as yesterday
Broad bean with garlic & scallion sauce - fava bean-like beans, very tasty in a good sauce. Refreshing but then again, I love beans.
Ma Po Tofu - a huge portion heavy on the ma la elements. Very alrge bowl filled to the brim. I maybe ate 1/3 of it total. Teh sauce on the rice was superb. Very hot and ma la. Wonderful!
This place is gooooooood!
re: deangold
It may seem unimportant, or perhaps more likely naive, but what is a Morgan?
re: deangold
A Morgan is indeed a limited production English sports with a wooden frame. The company just celebrated its 100th year of mass production - about 500 units per year. I have had mine for 20 + years and it is quirky but quite reliable.
As to Sichuan Pavilion - deangold is spot on. Lunch was a great experience as he so aptly described. Make sure to order your food off the 'Chinese' menu. I shall enjoy munching my way through it.
re: deangold
a morgan is also driven by dr. mallard ("ducky") on ncis. http://www.gomog.com/movies/ducky%27s...
Wow, thanks Dean. I saw this restaurant recently when at the Rockville Library and felt sort of depressed, as I assumed it was just another mediocre place. SpiceXing and now this as well? Town Center is looking better.
re: hill food
I hope not. Reading this, I went to the Farragut location for lunch. Got the Dumplings with Sichuan Sacuce and the Roast Pork with Scallions. Both were a major disappointment. Bordering on awful, the dumplings don't even hint at the real thing, and the pork was chinese-american swill.. I wish there was a Joe's type place downtown, right now real Sichuan remains un-obtainable (please don't mention Great Wall).
re: Elyssa
jeez E it's like twin talk somnetimes. exactly the one I was thinking of.
I'm a little creeped (heh) but if they are related and I find myself out that way, well...
re: hill food
We asked the owner {at least we thought it was the owner} and the language barrier made it impossible to get an exact answer but I think not. If you compare the menus, there are wide price discrepancies on similar dishes, the Chinese characters for the name appear different {and 4 for the Rockville place and only three for the DC one} and the feel of the dish offerings seems quite different. The DC one states on its website its roots with the NYC restaurant of the same name, while the menu is Rockville gives no hint of a heritage related to the other SP's. But this is all only conjecture and direct questioning is impossible for me now as I don't speak Chinese.
Went there on Friday. You're right, they don't give up those Chinese menus without a struggle. I had to go to the counter and get one after the waitress insisted on giving me the "Combination Lunch" menu. I later heard other folks behind me going through the same routine. We had the broad beans in scallion sauce, which were deliciously savory for a cold dish, and the cucumber salad, which was basically diced cucumbers with a little salt. Not a bad thing, but I expected a little more...something. Next, we had the #10 pork w/ sizzling ricecakes. The sauce was a little more on the sweet side than sour, but the rice cakes were the best I ever had, super crispy with a nice toasty flavor. It had wood-ear and shitake mushrooms, which made it an oustanding dish. Last came the spicy shrimp with hot peppers, which looked more promising than it actually was. It had the right ingredients-peppers, shrimp and little dices of pork belly. I really wanted to like it, but it didn't work that well. The shrimps were almost too tiny to fool with. I tried eating them whole and found they had more exoskeleton than meat. The pork belly was more like bacon rind, about the size and texture of pencil erasers. Most disappointing of all, the flavor was just not there in this particular dish. No fire, smokiness or depth. However, there were many tasty-looking dishes coming through the kitchen door and I plan on giving it another shot.
7 of us ate there last night and it was overall pretty damned good. Thee were a couple of dishes that hit odd noted, but even there there was some disagreement amongst us so it was as much as style thing as anything
One development is that the Authentic menu and the American style Chinese menu are in the same binder now, just flip the menu over to get from one to the other.
The starters:
Scallion pancakes were good to mop up sauces but nothing special.
Beef Jerky very similar in style to Hong Kong Palace but not as hot. shreds of beef, thick pasty sauce of hot chiles and garlic, scallion & ginger.
Beef tendon & trip in hot sauce - fantastic- Nice level of heat, good sauce
Bean Jelly in hot sauce marked with tho peppers. Maybe we got the one pepper version but the dish was quite good none the less. The bean jelly is cold cubes of white jello and the sauce vinegar, hot chilies in oil, garlic, scallions & ginger. Refreshing and light
Crispy Fungus with pickled peppers - a great dish
Bigger dishes included:
Tilapia in spicy sauce with bean jelly & pickled peppers was superb even if I am not usually a fan of Tilapia. THis one was ot the typical variety of Tilapia and had mmore flavor and color. The topping was good, the star of the dish witht he fish providing a sauce delivery system more than being a major player.
Ma Po Tofu was good but not as good as on my last visit. Tasted like they needed to drain the tofu a little more before final cooking
Twice Cooked Pork with fried bread- perfectly spectacular. Large slices of belly, leek greens, loads of garlic, layering of heat elements and wedges of the bread. Truly great.
Pork on sizling rice cake with sweet & sour sauce - again, spectacular. the ricecakes are as good as any I have ever had. They remain crisp even after sitting in the sauce for a long time. They are fried to the maximum they can be without burning and become a complex flavor all on their own. This dish can be had with seafood or veggies instead of pork.
Beef in fiery soup - the beef equivalent of H20 at Joe's looked spectacular but seeemed to lack a balance of flavors. Lots of heat but maybe some vinegar or something was left out or needed.
I am sure I am leaving out something but someone else will ahve to comment. All this, a large tip was $118 total including tip. & folk devoured it and I have a large bag of leftovers!
re: deangold
Aren't those rice cakes outstanding? The waitress said they fry them with butter, which may account for retaining that crispiness in the sauce. I'm glad they went to one menu, which shows that they're paying attention. For being open less than a month, I think this place has some real potential. Thanks for the reports on the various dishes. Keep 'em coming!
re: flavrmeistr
Also they have 200+ dishes on the menu, they all can't be great! But so far the bating average is really high.
re: deangold
Just like the Lotto, you gotta play to win. I'm ready to go back.
Went there Sunday. Thoroughly impressed. Had the Dan-Dan noodles with the vinegar like Dean said. Fantastic. Then had the small dumplings filled w/chicken broth. These might have been the best I have had ever - each dumpling contained a healthy dose of broth, unlike Chinatown Express. A Sichuan restaurant with the best Shanghai Dumplings in the area! Onto the Double-Cooked Pork w/Crispy Bread. In a word - outstanding. The crispy bread adds a great element to the dish, soaking up all the flavors.
The owner/hostess was very nice, and actually had to instruct the chef to make my pork authentic. We had a discussion about the whole reason I drove up there was to get the "real" thing. She completely understood. The chefs are hopefully catching on by now. Also, she is going to read all this stuff on Chowhound, was very excited to hear that people are talking about it, so be nice -)
This place has immense promise.
Dinner at Sichuan Pavilion with three dishes we had not tried before:
Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup: the noodles are better at A&J but this is a great warming soup loaded with star anise but to to the point where you think there is no flavor other than Anise.
Pork with Lotus Root & Pickled Peppers: we did not specify hot and the dish had just a bite. Vinegary sauce, wood ears, a little pepper & red bell pepper in an incredibly balanced rendition.
Seaweed salad: good solid cold dish. try the "Lotus Poot" Salad instead.: pickled lotus root which is our favorite cold dish.
I think that SP has now pulled clear to me on the Sichuan front of JNH. I still go to both as the cellophane noodle with fish soup and the crisp dry fried beef at JNH are not to be missed. But thee are more interesting dishes with a broader array of flavors at SP
The service alone is reason to go. They are genuine folk who really want you to have a good time: a good thing in my mind!
Finally made it to Sichuan Pavilion last night and really enjoyed it. The place was *packed* and we had to wait maybe 15 minutes for a table, but the staff was extremely apologetic and friendly. And despite the crowds waiting, they didn't exactly rush us out of our table either! We had a leisurely meal. The place was chaotic and full of families and big groups. It was a really fun atmosphere.
Onto the food. After careful study of posts here, we ordered:
-dan dan noodles (my favorite! lovely heat to it and just so satisfying)
-broad beans in scallion and garlic sauce (eh, none of us was wowed by this dish; the waitress told us not to eat the skins, so we had to squeeze the insides out of the beans...)
-scallion pancake (delish. I consider this a very good scallion pancake, nice and chewy.)
-pork and rice cakes in sweet and sour sauce (this was well liked. I was expecting rice cakes like those thick rice noodle ovals, but instead this was the crackly rice cakes like I've had in Vietnamese places. The texture was fun. I wish there were a little more heat in the sauce, which initially came off too sweet but then grew on me.)
-ma po tofu (solid rendition, though my meal mates said this was their least favorite)
-double-cooked pork with fried bread (this was tasty when it was super hot right out the kitchen, but after it cooled down it lost some of its zing. The fried bread is kind of like pita chip-esque and very greasy. The waitress was very concerned when I ordered this and made sure that I knew this was "pork berry" - it took me a few seconds to realize she was saying pork belly! The waitress was absolutely adorable and very professional. The service was really great there.)
We had a really nice time and I'm looking forward to trying some more items next time. Many of the tables were eating some sort of white steamed buns in which they were sticking pieces of pork (I think). Perhaps this was a special for the New Year?
I also saw some seriously spicy-looking chicken or other meat dishes on other tables, covered in sesame seeds. Does anyone know what dish that is?
Thanks chowhounds for the tips on this place!
re: hamster
Had lunch there today because your report sounded so good. Great meal for $40 with three beers! The place was full at 2pm on a Sunday and the service good and friendly.
Fungus with pickled peppers - very tender tree ear mushrooms, ginger & garlic. Heat built nicely.
Small fish with peanuts- perfect. Fish crunchy and salty. Peppers added heat. Peanuts crunchy.
Tripe & pickled Cabbage soup - brilliant! very sour broth with 5 spice flavored assorted cow parts.
Fish fillet in soup - not sure of what it was called but on the bill it was marked #26. Fish fillet, green peppercorns on the twig, lots of red chiles, soupy gravy with a red oil slick on top. Started out nice but became great as the fish cooled and absorbed the sauce. I used a spoon to eat the sauce. Don't know if I am smart or a pig.
re: fudizgud
Yum! I really wanted the small fish with peanuts dish. Next time I'll try it!
re: fudizgud
I went back for lunch last week. Well, more of an early dinner actually. I was one of only a couple patrons in the whole place. Ironically, it took forever to get any server's attention my entire time there - mostly because they were basically on break and were just standing around chatting and not paying attention to the few clients who were present.
I ordered the sardines with peanuts and the soup dumplings. The sardines were not what I was expecting - crunchy fried pieces of what looked like noodles but were fishy-tasting, with lots of very nicely crunchy peanuts, garlic, and peppers - but I enjoyed the extremely salty dish. The soup dumplings were not bad at all. I haven't had any soup dumplings in DC but have had some lovely versions in Boston, New York, and San Francisco, and I would say that these would fill a soup dumpling craving but not exactly wow you. The soup and dumpling filling were good, quite fatty as expected; the dough exterior kept its integrity mostly, but wasn't exceptionally good. Overall, not bad at all; I would definitely order them again if I'm back there with a group and it was one of many dishes shared.
re: hamster
Dumplings and wontons here, both soup and otherwise, don' t seem to be a strength of the kitchen. Since China Bistro, Joe's, and A&J are nearby, I don't mind so much. :-)

re: DanielK
Yeah, though Tyler Cowen disagrees.
I recently tried China Bistro's dumplings and was blown away. Unfortunately Joe's and A&J are both a bit harder for me to get to, so I thought I'd give Sichuan Pavilion a shot.
Also, do these places even serve soup dumplings?
China Bistro
755 Hungerford Dr, Rockville, MD
re: hamster
Tyler Cowen can be wrong. :-)
China Bistro and Joe's do not serve soup dumplings - A&J does, though they're just ok.
China Bistro's dumplings are the best around, IMHO.
A&J's potstickers blow Sichuan Pavilion's away, as do their spicy wontons, though the spicy wontons at Joe's are even better than A&J's.

re: DanielK
Thanks for the breakdown. I will use this whenever I finally get to some of these places!
re: DanielK
Agree with Daniel on the breakdown, but I will say that Joe's spicy wontons are still very good.
re: Dennis S
Dennis - Maybe I wasn't clear - I think Joe's spicy wontons are the best around.
re: DanielK
Doh - reading back through I was confusing wontons and dumplings (though they are close in nature).
re: DanielK
Agreed. China Bistro is the dumpling fix. Although on the Chinese New Year, one of the waitresses at Joe's made some special dumplings with leek shoots, pork and shrimp that were just exquisite. And, they were on the house! Too bad it only happens once a year.

We've been to SP many times since discovering it a couple months ago. Dishes are truly authentic Sichuan, not surprising since the chef is from Chengdu. I've been to Chengdu 5 or 6 times, but now with SP in the neighborhood there's little reason to go back for the food. If you go for lunch be sure to take advantage of the $20 special (authentic Chinese menu only) - choice of three dishes plus soup. We have yet to taste a bad dish there, and most have been superb. I think SP (behind the Rockville Fire Station on Hungerford) has already stolen a good bit of business from both Bob's 66 and Joe's Noodles. I just learned they make their own Sichuan sausage, but haven't tried yet.
re: Bensade
I would say that it is crazy good, but they run out of it so often that all I can say is don't eat it!!
re: Bensade
We went for the first time last night, and tried out 6 or 7 dishes.
I did try the homemade Sichuan sausage, and the owner said that it would only be available for one more week this year, because it can only be made in the winter. It had a delicious distinctive taste like nothing I've ever had. Well worth trying.
Also, the Pork with Crispy Rice Cakes might have been one of the best dishes I've had all year. If you're going, this is the one dish you CANNOT CANNOT miss.
I took a lot of pictures, so if there's interest, I can post them later.
re: petercoolz
Had a great, great meal there on Saturday, including the sausage (which I was also warned would not be available much longer!); a new noodle dish, untranslated, which seems to be a warm version of a cross between Dan-Dan noodles and sesame noodles; the chicken with basil and ginger; and a spectacular fish dish with crunchy bean sprouts and hot peppers in a sichuan-oil, ma-la sauce (sorry I forgot to note the name of it; I believe it was the second from the bottom in one of the categories), which has now served me well for two further meals at home. The pork with crispy rice cakes is, indeed, very tasty, but the rice cakes make it very, very filling.
re: petercoolz
Pictures of the food!
This place has been so great that we've made the 30 minute trek twice in a week now.
We just went there last night, a Thursday. We ordered:
fried scallion pancakes
sweet and sour seaweed salad
smoked duck
shredded beef with bitter melon
My favourite was certainly the beef with bitter melon; it had a wonderful balance of bitter melon with ginger, garlic and chilies. However, I found there was too much oil in it. This is true of all the dishes we had, except the smoked duck. The food wasn't greasy, but it sat it a pool of oils. Not totally attractive, but the flavour was certainly fantastic.
I finally managed to cross the river to Sichuan Pavilion in Rockville today.
For those of you sorely missing Peter Chang, you should get the minced chicken with yat-cai, which is a cousin of the famed Chang dish of cumin minced beef served with steamed buns. You take the minced chicken and slightly pickled vegetables and stuff them into the pocketed steamed buns to make a sandwich. Fantastic!
The meal was stupendous. In addition to the minced chicken, I had the crispy bread with double-cooked pork and the sizzling rice cakes with mixed vegetables. Each of these dishes was a show-stopper.
To begin, I checked out the lotus root salad, the peanuts with 'anchovie,' and the crispy fungus with pickled peppers. All great. I especially loved the little slices of ginger with the peanuts. It's stunning how they can make a powerfully salty dish like this taste so gooood.
Consumer note: After I chatted up the hostess, only then did she ask me if I wanted the pork lean or with fat and skin. So if you want the bacon version, you may have to ask.
re: Steve
Yup, been about two dozen times, always terrific. Especially for us Marylanders who can't get to HKP too often, this is a great option. I actually think the crispy bread and sizzling rice dishes are a bit overrated -- good, but the starch ruins your appetite for all the other dishes! (I suppose that's not what you meant by "show-stopper," right, Steve? ;-) ) We should really start to go through the vast menu comprehensively, and post favorites here, kinda like we once did with Joe's . . .
re: Marty L.
I actually had leftovers from the pork with crispy bread. I spread it out and broiled it. The bread toasted up nicely. I will definitely order the lean version, next time. The bacon is too thick for me ....not that it stopped me.

Over 26,512 bikes on the UK's roads have been "clocked" according to a BBC investigation.
It was revealed in March of this year that a shocking number of bikes mileages have dropped compared to the figures recorded in last year's MOT certificates.
BBC 5Live contacted 10 firms across the country undercover, about 'altering' a bikes mileage and six were willing to take part in "clocking". This can be classed as fraud in the UK, and is in fact a crime.
The Government's Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (Vosa) defended the figures, saying there could be easily explainable reasons for this drastic figure such as "data-inputting errors, or technical faults with the machine's odometer".
Although, it has also been suggested that the bikers 'clock' their bikes to make them more valuable and easier to sell.

surely that has a lot to do with the increase in people customising their bikes? Such as people converting to streetfighters changing the speedo. Although that being said, last year i sold my bike to a bloke that turned out later to be a dealer, I later saw my bike on ebay but with suddenly a lot less miles...

And don't forget those of us who fit custom speedos.
My wifes bike has had three speedos since we bought it.
But she's a fashion victim not a master criminal.

Pontiac Firebird Windshield
Your Pontiac Firebird is sure to make you the center of attraction no matter where you go. But keeping this snazzy automobile's auto glass parts in showroom condition is critical to retain the car's good looks. The Firebird went through several transformations during its production run with both the coupe and the convertible versions remaining quite popular. Each of these has different auto glass needs with the coupe maintaining its sporty, sleek looks with a single large door window (plus a tiny vent in some versions).
Locate reliable auto glass shops in your neighborhood to service your Pontiac Firebird Windshield or other auto glass parts by browsing through our directory. We research the shops in every neighborhood to identify the one offering quality service and excellent pricing.
Effective Repairs by Qualified Professionals
When you need your Pontiac Firebird Windshield repaired, it is important to get the job done at the earliest. When debris or dirt settles inside a crack or chip in your windshield, the technician finds it more challenging to restore perfect clarity in that area. He may drill into the crack and use a vacuum to remove all debris/ air/ contaminants from the crack so that the resin can enter the damaged area thoroughly.
Since this process is a delicate one that can damage the glass further if done improperly, it is best to entrust the Pontiac Firebird Windshield repairs to experienced and trained professionals. Amateurs may offer cheaper repairs but the outcome may not have the quality you desire.
Low cost repairs may also mean that warranties are not offered on the repair. If you face air/ water leaks in the same area after the repair, you are forced to spend again on repairs, or worse, replace the entire Pontiac Firebird Windshield. Replacements are much more expensive than repairs, which is why trusting your Pontiac Firebird Windshield repairs to a qualified professional is actually the more cost effective option.
Keeping Service Costs within Reason
On an average you may spend about $120 to repair a single crack on your Pontiac Firebird Windshield. To replace this glass on a 2002 model T-Top coupe you will spend about $315. The roll up window on the driver's side may cost around $318 while the rear windshield is more expensive at $370. Options like heating add to the cost of replacement. (All prices are Safelite.com estimates).
Since costs can vary with the kind of glass you need replaced and the options that your vehicle comes with, mention these details to the auto glass shop when you are asking for Pontiac Firebird Windshield service quotes. Or you could simply fill in our online quote form to get a free, no- obligation quote from our reliable and experienced local exclusive provider.

Director of Judge Rotenberg center forced to quit:
1 Acebrock, Thu, 2nd Jun '11 1:29:33 AM from So-Cal Relationship Status: Showing feelings of an almost human nature
Linky Admittedly, it's a week old, but still interesting, and disturbing. For those unfamiliar with the Judge Rotenberg Center it's a facility where they "treat" severely autistic children with extreme measures, including attempting to change their behavior with electrodes. The fun stuff is in the article, and I don't think I'm alone in saying that he should have gotten far worse than he did. Your thoughts on the center and the punishment Mr. Israel got?

Fuzzy Orange DoomsayerI have the feeling it'll be very hard to find an unbiased news source on this one. More on-topic, I find it interesting that he was forced to quit for destroying video of an incident. Seems a bit counterproductive unless he was pretty certain he'd get in trouble for whatever was on the tapes.

Top Club Vass instructor Simon Hurrey has recently signed with RRD and Simmer.┬Ā
His first outing on his new gear, was a trip to E-lands in Capetown.┬Ā
Now, E-lands is not the most forgiving place in the World to test new equipment particularly when the waves are well over mast high!
Despite this, Simon can happily report back that the kit was up to the job and helped him score┬Ā2 epic┬Ādays at E-lands with wave rides up to 1 min 30sec long!! (if you dont believe him, check out Phil Horocks\'s video in Inside Line this month)!
Simon will be competing┬Āat all the UK Freewave events this year, as well as the European Freestyle tour and some PWA events.

Game review: Dirt Showdown
The Codemasters crew have long been known for some great gravel grinding off-road racers, but Dirt Showdown marks a move in a fresh direction for the company. The new game is still based on off-road racing and features the stunning looking Ford Fiesta piloted by American legend Ken Block as the centerpiece. However this time around the game eschews a more serious professional rallying approach and instead aims to deliver easier to access and often more spectacular arcade thrills. Read More

Tag offices in Kansas are experiencing technical difficulties with the state's computer system this morning. The tag offices are still open today.
Jeannine Koranda, spokesperson for the Kansas Department of Revenue said, "What we're seeing right now is a system slowdown. We're working with 3M to correct it as quickly as possible. They're still working on figuring out what's exactly causing it."
Sedgwick County Treasurer Linda Kizzire said it is taking numerous times to finalize a single transaction.
Last May, Kansas driver's license and county tag offices got a $22 million computer system upgrade. After the installation, there were some problems that caused delays in completing transactions.
Driver licensing offices are not yet on the new system. They are running on the same system they have been for almost 20 years.
Koranda advises people to renew tags via mail or online, by clicking here.

A tour of Gaudi's work is a quintessential Barcelona pastime. Keep an eye out for some of Gaudi's most famous pieces including La Pedrera and Casa Batllo.

This tour used metro to see some of the sights. Guides were great (running bean tours) and had a wealth of information. We saw Palau Guell, La sagrada Familia, Casa Balto, Casa Mila (outside of house)

We toured (inside and out) the Sagrada Familia and Guell Park. The guide was excellent.
Provider: Holland America Line
9 reviews
Only saw the structures from the outside. We had a to go back to two of them later and buy the tour for the inside. It was close to waste of time to take this tour, except it gave us the idea to not visit Casa Batll. It also reinforced our decision to visit Parc Guell.

Gaudi is awesome. We drove by casa battlo but got out at la basilica de la sagrada familia and parque guell. La sagrada familia was amazing. I have never seen anything like it. There was something interesting everywhere you look on the outside of that thing, you can take many pictures and be interested later in each one you see and know that you missed more things just by not taking more pictures. Be sure to get close ups of the scenes on the outside. You will find them interesting later when you have more time to study them. Parque guell was very beautiful. We liked it there. Finally, those weirdies in Barcelona had been having some riots the day before we arrived. It was sad seeing so many businesses burned out or with shattered glass. What is your problem people?!

A driver who refused to pull over led authorities on a chase for nearly an hour Wednesday afternoon.
The pursuit ended about two miles from where it began. Thirty-two-year-old Jacob Cochran of Council Bluffs lost control of his vehicle in the 1100 block of F Avenue, northwest of Red Oak. He was booked on charges of eluding in addition to several traffic violations.
Involved in the pursuit were officers from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, Red Oak Police Department, Page County Sheriff's Department, Cass County Sheriff's Department, Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Department, Mills County Sheriff's Department and the Iowa State Patrol.
