Brix Wine Cafe - Kirkland/Juanita
- wlayres Oct 4, 2007 02:25 PM
I had an excellent dinner last night at Brix Wine Cafe in Juanita Village. The chef hails from Barking Frog, and boy does it show! The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is upscale comfortable with hip music played at a comfortable volume. Our friendly, enthusiastic waitress helped with our food and wine selections. The restaurant is a great alternative to Purple, which I always think I'll like until I have to pull my 800 lb chair away from the table. ugh!
About our Brix meal:
- A fresh bread basket was served with a very green, herby dipping oil which we loved. It required the addition of a bit of salt, which our server brought to our table on request.
- I highly recommend the scallops appetizer of three perfectly seasoned and seared scallops served with a smear of buttery mashed potatoes.
- We also ordered the wild mushroom flatbread as an appetizer, which was tasty, but I would skip that next time for a more flavorful flatbread option, of which they have several.
- The skirtsteak entree was surprisingly tender and cooked perfectly to medium doneness. The steak was almost overshadowed by the amazing potato sidedish of paper-thin potato slices seared with the perfect amount of crunch. Awesome! Also on the plate was a tasty sauted swiss chard.
- I ordered the pappardelle with bolognese ragu sauce when I learned they used fresh (not dried) noodles. The sauce was delicious, but could have been more 'saucy' as it started to dry out toward the end of my meal.
Brix has a huge wine selection, and we enjoyed a wonderful bottle of Shiraz.
Has anybody else had a good experience at Brix? I certainly will be returning very soon before it gets discovered and the wait for the tables gets too long!
re: CriticalEater
It wasn't cheap - you're definitely paying for the quality. Our meal for two of 2 appy's, 2 entrees, 1 bottle of wine = $150. If I recall correctly, the wine portion of that tab was $70.
Absolutely LOVE this place!! Brix provides a much needed dimension to the Juanita neighborhood with fabulous, modestly priced, delicious food and wine. We've already been a few times since it opened a 3 weeks ago and can't stop raving about their Crab Mac n Cheese to all our friends! Downtempo & casual atmosphere. Their booths are a bit squeezed in, kinda tight, so we perfer to sit at their bar and drool over their huge wine selection. love it though. so glad its here!
I also was super excited that a new independent, hip wine cafe was coming to Juanita. Tried it the other night and they didn't let me down. Great bottle of Zinfandel & Delicious Crab Mac & Cheese. The Waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Made the drive from Duvall for a private 40th Birthday party in their private room. Service was exceptional. The menu was seasonal and wine pairings were perfect. My first thought was - WAY better than Purple. The food was really delicious. We had the cheese starter (the drunken goat was amazing) shrimp skewers, beet and arugula salad with goat cheese, salmon with sweet potato mashers and sauteed arugula. We finished off with a birthday cake filled with passionfruit creme. Their menu and pricing is on their site http://www.brixwinecafe.com/home/
Give it a try - I'll be going back!
re: tea_girl
Had dinner at Purple the other night after i got a $100 gift card there. We had 4 different "tastes" and none of them were good. The tuna tartare was tasteless as was the quail. The hummus wasn't any better than stuff you would get at Trader Joe's. The anchovies weren't bad, but not anything special. Got the mac & cheese with lobster (based on the recommendation from the barteder) and lamb burger for dinner. The mac was tasty to start but then as it cooled, it started to congeal into a nasty mess and I felt queasy about the whole experience. The lamb burger was pretty good as were the yam fries it came with.
We ended with cheeses, all of which were good and the wines throughout the night were tasty.
The staff all seem to not like the place. Have a bit of an indifferent attitude. All in all, it's not worth going back to.
re: kirkj
I went to Brix few weeks ago, and had the skirt steak - my first experience with skirt steak (being from New Zealand, where it's not so popular) and I can't say I'd try it again. But that's just my taste, and the potato galette and chard that accompanied it were delicious. My husband had the roast chicken breast, which was delicious, and we had the crab cakes and the mushroom flatbread as appetizers - both nice.
I'd compare Brix to Pomegranate in Redmond, which I actually prefer.
re: northwestkiwi
I like the atmosphere at Brix better. Brix has a cozy feel, and Pomegranate is nice but its atmosphere is a bit colder.
We went to Brix 1/29. Experienced terrific service, music wasn't too loud, lights weren't too dim; huge improvement for the eastside scene. We too had the scallop appetizer - absolutely superb. We didn't like the mac and cheese as much as most of you - just seemed to need a bit of salt; its consistency was terrific even after it cooled. I had the pulled pork sandwich. The pork itself was good, however, the bun was too large, untoasted, no sauce or condiments, and it came with freshly julienned red peppers. It would have been much better with some sautéed peppers or onions and a side of sauce (however, I'm by no means a pulled-meat aficionado – so perhaps this is the traditional presentation). The server kept trying to steer me towards their burger - I think I should have taken her up on that! Fried potatoes were crispy and very tasty; side of coleslaw had a great kick to it. I also had their cosmo-like pomegranate drink – a bit too sweet. However, their margarita was spot-on, so much so, I had two. And yes, my dining companion did really enjoy the wines by the glass as well the risotto – it was very flavorful, perfect texture. I'm really looking forward to going back! Keep in mind that there is only two hour parking outside their restaurant. My dining companion got a ticket (however, I didn't) – we spent 2.5 hours there, leaving at 8:30pm.
re: chrisganet
Had dinner here two weekends ago and just wasn't as impressed as everyone else seems to be. Ordered the red wine flight that features local Washington wines and wasn't thrilled with any of the 3 (small) pours. Beet Salad appetizer was okay, not great. My Duck with Gnocchi in Mushroom Broth was nothing spectacular - duck was very salty, but the gnocchi were nice and pillowy. Apple Tart dessert was forgettable except for the way crunchy topping that was umm... way too crunchy! It was like eating sand. Service was good though.
Anyway, my bottom line was that I hoped that I just ordered incorrectly becuase I did not have the same experience as everyone else.
re: maybelle
also went and not as impressed as others. Sent back the crabcakes......'old' crab was used..tasted 'funky'....sent back the arugula salad for other reasons......enjoyed the hard-to-mess-up Antipasto platter.
I'll probably give it another try sometime as the wait staff was very accomodating.
The Brix Wine Cafe web site and the menu indicate that the Executive Chef is Craig Stout with no mention of Tom Black from Barking Frog. Was Tom Black involved in putting together the menu perhaps? Curious about what the story is there.
Net/net for us was that we would go back but we wouldn't go out of our way to go back or plan to go back. More here: http://wineandfoodxp.blogspot.com/200...
re: jimnak
Not sure about Tom Black's involvement at Brix, but he is currently the head chef at 35th St Bistro in Fremont.

Why some dummy would want to bring this overpowering weed into California is beyond me but it seems that someone did and did it intentionally a long time ago. This prickly beasts can live on almost no water, no dirt, no sunlight, and no room so they can literally box out every single bush and plant they surround. Worse, the thorns you see here are about 2 inches long, hard as sticks, and sharp enough to be used as needles on leather! Step on one and you'll be cursing the day this invasive species first popped out of the ground. Jump back from that first step and get another dose of agony in your other foot and the likelihood of you falling and SITTING on more of them increases dramatically. I've never had one go all the way thru a shoe but I've pulled them out of the bottom of tennis shoes. Deer seem to be unphased by them, as are turkeys, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and many other four-legged, medium-sized animals tho I can't imagine why. Cut them down with a mulching lawnmower and the suckers will stick you LONG after the plant is history; the needles just turn brown and stay put.
Why in the world these things need to be this nasty is beyond me. They don't attach to things as well as burrs, their needle help distribute neither seeds nor pollens, and they aren't cute, edible, or removable. One of Sacramento's most cherished parks is the American River Parkway that weaves from Sacramento thru some of the most beautiful riparian landscapes around. In places, it has been completely taken over by this bane and even the occasional grass fire doesn't kill them dead enough to not come back before everything else does and spread like the same sort of wildfire!
I bet Medieval warriors saw this vile looking flora and created really awful weapons from its design. They may not have been WMD's (If you don't know what this is, don't ask and you'll be better off. Trust me.) but they would have been lethal nonetheless!
Fortunately I have not had the displeasure of encountering one of these little trouble makers. However, you have caught this one in a pleasant mood thus allowing you the opportunity to snap a very nice shot of it. :) I hope you didn't have your foot thrust through with it's sister while taking it!
Whoa!!!!! There's no way I'd have been standing on this monster's sister, even in shoes! Hiking boots are just about the only way to survive even a short jaunt thru an area infested with these little horrors. As for it being in a good mood, I honestly think these weeds are ALWAYS in a good mood since there's nothing to really screw up their day/week/month/year/decade/century! World War III comes, the earth is irradiated into a wasteland, and the roaches will be seeking shade under the thistles, just waiting for us to come back in a few million years. :-O
– Lenny La Rue, IPA
Ouch what a nasty little plant ! we have similar called a scots thistle which has a purple flower the thorns are'nt quite as nasty but they take over absolutley everything as well imported from scotland obviously,wish they had kept them there lol, l think the problem is with these types of plants is that in their original country of habitat they were controled by the weather,get them into a climate with lots more sun and their resilience doubles and we can't get rid of them,
Uggghhhh! Sorry to hear you've been invaded as well. It's GOT to be weather that checks this blight because nothing else does. I'm not even sure if salting the earth would stop it from encroachment!
– Lenny La Rue, IPA
We have enough salt encroaching Australia already,it has poisoned the ground water an that has'nt killed it,l think it must be realted to cockroaches and like them would be the only thing left on the panet if we had a nuclear war lol
I agree with you 100% They are a HUGE pain!!!! ;-)
A pain in EVERY POSSIBLE way. :-(
– Lenny La Rue, IPA
this is awesome lenny :) awesome!
Thank you, Laurie. Even something as harmful as this weed has a beautiful God-given side. It's just a bit hard to find it when you're screaming in pain after being impaled by its "beauty". ;-)

Swizz Beatz - Everyday (Coolin')
Artist: Swizz Beatz
Featuring: Eve
Producer: Swizz Beatz
Album: Haute Living
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 27 votes )
It seems like only yesterday that Swizz Beatz was getting Fancy with Drake and Mary J. Blige. Always a mover and a shaker, he's elevated to Haute Living status and has titled his upcoming project accordingly. Veteran femcee and fellow Ruff Ryders alum Eve joins him on the first single from the project, Everyday (Coolin'), and she reminds us why she was known as "a pitbull in a skirt" back in the Ruff Ryders' heyday with a growling, aggressive delivery. Swizzy trades his signature horns for a sound that can only be described as a bumblebee on speed to shape the melodic elements of the song, while galloping drums drive the tempo to club banger status. Those of you who prefer less Swizz Beatz rapping/talking on a track probably aren't going to get into this, in spite of the solid production. I invite you to give it a shot, you may be surprised – if you hate it, feel free to accost me on Twitter @softjunebreeze. In the meantime, keep DJBooth on your radar for more from Haute Living as it becomes available.

Now 21 years old, Zoll dream's of play college basketball is now a reality. She is a captian on the Virginia basketball team and has built the Cavs into one of the top teams in the ACC. But Zolls mark of UVa isn't done yet. Zoll is just 22 assists away from tying Dawn Staley's UVa and ACC record. It's been a dream of hers since she walked in the doors at Virginia. She even wrote the number "729" on her shoes during her frreshman year. Zoll averages more than five assists pers game, and it looks like she will hit her mark before the end of the post-season.

Castro welcomes Baez — no shortstop rivalry
BY GORDON WITTENMYER Staff Reporter March 4, 2014 10:15PM
Updated: March 4, 2014 10:16PM
MESA, Ariz. — Four years ago, when teenager Starlin Castro arrived at spring training as the next big shortstop prospect, incumbent Ryan Theriot threw down the gauntlet:
"He's going to have to come and get it."
Barely two months later, he did.
Now Castro is the incumbent, though he's sidelined for the next week or more with a hamstring injury, and Javy Baez, the Cubs' top-ranked prospect, is off to another strong start. He's raising eyebrows and cries from Chicago to Mesa to give him a job out of camp.
Castro's response to the potential drama: Let him play; there's room for both shortstops in the lineup.
"To help the team win, if you're there and I'm there, whatever. I don't care," Castro said. "Some people don't have a good relationship because they're at the same position. But me and him, no. We're good friends. We talk a lot."
Castro, who said Tuesday the hamstring he hurt Sunday is already much better, has seen enough of Baez — and enough undermanned Cubs teams in his four big-league seasons — to encourage the kid to get to the majors as quick as possible.
"I tell him, 'Play hard, and you'll be up there no matter what,' " Castro said. " 'I don't know where, but you'll be there because you've got great talent and you play the game the right way.' "
Castro has the luxury of knowing he doesn't have to worry about a challenge to his position anytime soon. General manager Jed Hoyer said it the day camp opened, calling the idea of moving Castro from shortstop "off the table."
Cubs officials also have repeatedly said Baez will open the season at shortstop at Class AAA Iowa.
"Obviously, for us, the idea of Baez is in the future," manager Rick Renteria said. "So right now I'm glad Starlin feels that way, and I'm sure the feeling is mutual. They both respect each other immensely. Somewhere down the road, when that happens, I'm sure it'll be nice to see."
The consensus among evaluators — and, apparently, guys in the Cubs' clubhouse — is that Baez's much anticipated debut is coming this year.
"I don't make that decision, but that can be good for us, if he's here," Castro said. "He can hit, no doubt about it. He's a good player. Everybody knows that."
Baez will see time at second and third before he's done this spring, team officials said. That likely will give them an idea of where he'll play when he makes his debut.
Renteria said the kid whose bat speed has been compared to Gary Sheffield's still has adjustments to make with big-league-caliber off-speed stuff and work to do on defense.
Others who know the big leagues well believe Baez should get a shot to prove he can't do it.
"I've seen enough of Baez to enjoy watching him play," veteran pitcher Jeff Samardzija said. "My thing about teammates is I like guys who put everything out on the field and leave it all out there — controlled reckless abandon, I guess you can say I like. And I see that in Baez. He plays with a chip on his shoulder. He has something to prove. I love watching that swing, too."
Baez, 21, dismisses the so-called drama with Castro — "We need Castro on the team," he said — and downplays his desire to be in the big leagues on Opening Day.
"I'll be ready when they tell me," he said.
The only two things for sure right now:
Castro won't need any more than 10 exhibition games to be ready for the season.
"Maybe eight games," he said.
And, regardless of Castro's health, the Baez Buzz isn't going away.

Although the food is always up to par, you didn't have to get a table. You just needed your favorite glass in hand and a seat on the steps to watch the 30 minutes of beautiful fireworks. Therre was a jamming band and outdoor bar plus cozy chairs near the firepit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great lunchHudsongirlDined on 7/10/2014There were 4 of us - all seniors - all women. We watch our weight and the waiter was happy to let us share dishes. The prices were very reasonable and the views were fantastic. You could eat on the outdoor porch, screened in porch or inside dining room.Special Features:

- JaneVIPDined on 6/19/2014Live music on Thursday evenings! Sitting outside on the patio on a beautiful day or night just doesn't get any better. Watching the sun set over the golf course on the one hand while gazing at the lake on the other. Just beautiful. And my halibut was out of this world. Such a great find in the little town of Copake!Special Features:
- A beautiful experienceSchmoopDined on 6/19/2014My husband and I go to the Greens quite often. The view of the golf course can't be beat and the outdoor seating is tremendous along with the side enclosed deck. The whole club looks great. Thursday night free music has been fantastic and I highly recommend it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Momos5VIPDined on 6/16/2014Wonderful way to enjoy your dinner by sitting outside and enjoying the view of the golf course....Of course, when the weather is more humid, you might opt for air-condition dining!!Special Features:
- ALWAYS RELIABLEELJEFEVIPDined on 6/13/2014I think by now we have dined here over 50 times from the time they opened many years ago to the present. It is one of the most reliable restaurants in the tri-state area inclluding NYC. The standards are reliable and the chef is creative enough to appreciate the movie CHEF through his eyes. He combines the best of new and reliable. Rarely have any of our friends that we take here have been underwhelmed. What makes it outstanding is the reliability the price point and the willingness to please. I rarely have a better dinner in NYC at double the price.Special Features:

- ExcellentCANYCVIPDined on 5/23/2014The Greens overlooks the golfcourse at Copake Country Club so the setting is beautiful. There is an active bar but it is separate from the spacious dining area and not at all noticeable. The food is very good, using locally sourced products and prepared with imaginiation. It's a great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently great!AxelVIPDined on 5/17/2014Food and ambiance is always good! The wine pours are not overly generous but the selection is ample. The menu is always interesting, but the bar menu is not to be missed as it offers great options for kids and adults alike. The outside seating under the covered porch is a fun place to dine with large parties or just a dinner for two. I plan on spending a lot of time there this Summer!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Real Find in Columbia CountyMatildaDined on 5/17/2014This was our second visit to the Greens and we were not disappointed on either occasion. The food is mostly all excellent. Sweetbreads, halibut, steak, mozzarella dish really excellent. Veal steak not hot enough and somewhat disappointing although the sides served with it were wonderful. Desserts not their forte. Service was unbelievably good. Swift, pleasant, warm and incredibly accommodating. Gave us healthy shots of wine to taste, switched side dishes readily, reheated without complaint. The dining room is large, but full of warmth, with lovely views over the grounds and the sound level (to NYC ears) was blissful. Dress code is casual.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful view with very good foodLadyaliceDined on 5/11/2014Love to go to this place, especially when the weather is warm. The golf course is beautiful, when you sit on the deck and can see the greens, it is kind of magical. The indoor dining rooms are very very nice, I often go there in inclement weather and sit inside.Special Features:

Service was great. Definitely would recommend this place for dinner if you're in the area!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and AmbienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/4/2014Never disappointing, whether you are in the mood for a sandwich and soup for lunch or a gourmet dinner. Every meal is made with love and served in beautiful surroundings. In winter, the indoor space is warm and inviting with its fireplace in the middle of the room. In the summer, there are options to eat outdoors or under the covered patio. The Greens Restaurant is a gem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

There were 6 of us including 2 children this time. We shared some items and found there was plenty. The shrimp with crab gnocci was awesome.

Trending: Is this the worst Wheel of Fortune contestant ever?
Published On: Apr 14 2014 02:28:50 PM CDT
Trending today online is a Wheel of Fortune fail that has everyone talking.
An Indiana University student had the chance to win $1 million dollars on Wheel of Fortune. All he had to do was pronounce the displayed phrase correctly.
But he didn't.
Julian Batts became a viral sensation when embarrassingly mispronounced the word Achilles. The contestant after him, from Texas A&M, snatched the victory right out of his hands.
Watch the video and tell us: Should he have won the prize anyway, even with the mispronunciation?

There is a separate box lower down on the generate screen that has a 'effective date for class teacher / class detail' i think, and that defaults to something. try changing that.
EDIT: this should work for rotated classes. If it's a manual rotation, in that your timetable just doubles up the teachers and then does the rotation manually, then only the 'Main Teacher' name will ever show. That's from NT6.

The Q
More Bratwurst Brain Damage
More Bratwurst Brain Damage The time-honored concept of the "last meal" has a new meaning. You probably think of it as the lavish spread offered to death-row prisoners before they go to their final reward. Not so in Milwaukee. Some funeral-home directors wish to serve hors d'oeuvres and drinks in the visitation room where the dearly departed are on display, thus adding festiveness to what traditionally have been grim proceedings. Guests will eat, drink, and chat, presumably saying nice things about the deseased instead of bad things about the food ("Now I know what killed Old Enos—the cheese puffs"). The newly departed will not dig in, of course. However, he or she will add a bit of gravity—or perhaps a better term might be dead weight—to the proceedings. I would recommend that the parties include coasters embossed with the likeness of the angel of death. Nobody likes to see unsightly ring-marks on a brand-new wooden casket. "We're not in the funeral business. We're in the hospitality, family-event business that just happens to involve the person who dies," undertaker Mark Krause said to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He's serious. He has taught a continuing education class called "Would You Like Lunch with That Cremation?" I have to assume the purpose of serving food is to make sure that everybody who is everybody—to say nothing of everybody who is a body—shows up. "We're moving from a ceremonial base or agenda to a social agenda in the course of serving families," said Ron Hast, publisher of Funeral Monitor newsletter and Mortuary Management magazine. Why stop with the families? Why not throw in a complimentary subscription for the deceased, the publications delivered graveside? A possible promotional jingle: "Give the gift that keeps on giving to those who aren't living!" Now, both men have a point. Compared to funerals of yore, our... read more

The Q
Dining Desperation
Dining Desperation I suppose it's a bad idea to ridicule a new Los Angeles dining concept—meals served in absolute darkness. Although I have to say, if it catches on, restaurant owners are going to save a fortune on ambience. A lawyer who came up with the idea is serving so-called gourmet meals in a pitch-black banquet hall. Here's the high concept: When you're on a blind date, why not go all the way? The reason this gimmick is hard to ridicule is that it's apparently giving employment opportunities to blind waiters—not that I ever knew there were career opportunities for the blind in this line of work. I mean, aren't waiters your first line of defense against finding a fly in the soup? One waiter, pleased with the opportunity, said, "This is something I could do with the skill level I had." So I'm loathe to say it absolutely makes no sense. And considering how pointless most blind dates turn out to be, I suggest that participants in these dinners actually meet for the first time in the unlit room, across from each other at their darkened table. This way they won't see each other until they've finished dinner and have quiche in their hair, béarnaise on their clothes, and a few extra pounds packed on. They'll know exactly what life will look like after they're married.... read more

Why I'll Never Live in Northern California
Why I'll Never Live in Northern California Conversation with the guy taking orders at Taylor's Automatic Refresher, a burger joint in San Francisco's Ferry Building where the meat is automatically cooked medium-well (I guess that's what makes the place "automatic"). ME: "Why not serve them medium-rare?" HIM: "Do you know what would happen if you served 100 burgers medium-rare?" ME: "The customers would come back for more?" HIM: "A hundred returns. People don't want their burgers all bloody." Oddly, the restaurant serves its Ahi tuna rare. So this can't be a health issue—it has to be about locals believing undercooked fish is good for you and undercooked beef is not. Northern Californians seem to have issues with meat. Or maybe it was just this guy. He had long sideburns, hair in a bun, goatee, and mustache. He not only sounded like Satan; he looked like Satan. But I guess I always feel that way about people who don't care whether or not food tastes good.... read more

Merlot—Beverage of Connoisseurs
Merlot—Beverage of Connoisseurs Very little thrills me more than picking up the wine list in a restaurant and seeing something extraordinary at a price I can afford. I'll bet book collectors get the same buzz when they walk into a junk shop and find a first edition of Carrie offered for $8.99. Recently, I came upon a magnum of 1992 Beringer Howell Mountain Merlot at The Earle, a restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was priced at $155. No, you can't rush over there and get your own, because this was the last magnum, although I can enthusiastically advise patronizing The Earle if you appreciate great California reds with age on them. The list is very good overall, but the selections of first-rate California reds are astonishingly priced. (Want a French red instead? The 1996 Chave Hermitage is $135 there, $150-$175 in most wine stores.) I was particularly thrilled about the Beringer Howell Mountain, because I believe it is the best merlot made in California, and I think it has been for more than a decade. That 1992 had the advantage of being in the magnum format, which is the equivalent of two bottles and provides ideal aging conditions. The wine wasn't just smooth and supple, which seems to be the first priority of American merlot consumers, but it also boasted gorgeous, black-cherry-like fruit and the rarest of all California wine attributes, a lovely bouquet. (Ever notice how many California wines are deficient in that?) I know Merlot is over. Everybody who used to drink it now wants Pinot Noir. And it is true that French Merlots, particularly those from the Pomerol appellation, tend to outperform California merlots. But that used to be true of Pinot Noir, too, and now California Pinots Noirs are competitive with a great many red Burgundies. There's no reason why California Merlots, given the success of Beringer, can't do just as well.... read more

Coffee, Tea, or Envy
Coffee, Tea, or Envy At last, the airline industry has figured out a way to make the in-flight meal seem highly desirable. The secret: Let us see it, but don't let us have it.I was the victim on a recent six-hour American Airlines flight from New York to San Francisco. The 767 aircraft had a first-class section, a business-class section, and a coach section, and food for the swells in business class was being prepared in a galley located in the coach section. My coach seat, 20B, was right outside the tiny kitchen. The menu for business-class passengers: Warm mixed nuts (smelled great), seasonal mixed greens (okay, even desperate travelers don't want airline lettuce), assorted "gourmet" breads (yeah, I'm sure that's what they were), grilled chicken breast sandwich with barbecue sauce (more good smells), and "freshly baked on board" chocolate-chip cookies (I really resented not getting those). The menu for starving coach-class passengers: Nothing. Not a cracker, a pretzel stick, or a leftover crumb from the "gourmet" breads. No solid food for the likes of us. When I asked one of the attendants for a cup of hot tea—that, indeed, is free—she told me to go to the coach-class galley in the back of the plane and get it myself. I now know the meaning of a soft job: Become a flight attendant in the coach section of an aircraft on a six-hour flight. (Tasting note: Tea has never tasted more metallic.) I have to say, this represents a new low in customer courtesy for the airline industry. Or maybe that came when American Airlines began selling its crackers and cheese in coach. read more

The Q
Kids Gone Krazy
Kids Gone Krazy When I read that a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in Milwaukee had become so violent that a city alderman wanted it closed down, I realized that this was a perfect opportunity to point out how safe New York City had become. Why live in the cruel Midwest when you can find a pleasant home in bucolic New York? To prove the point, I decided to visit a Chuck E. Cheese's outlet located in the Bronx, about 10 miles from where I live. The borough has come a long way since it was memorialized in the film Fort Apache, the Bronx. In comparison, the Chuck E. Cheese's branch on Chase Avenue in Milwaukee, according to reports, required a police response 18 times this past June and July, once for a fight involving 40 customers and 14 police officers. Not long afterward, restaurant security personnel reportedly began carrying guns. Perhaps the insanity is due to local children being raised on a diet that is 90 percent bratwurst. I wanted to be absolutely fair, so we contacted the alderman, Tony Zielinski, who said he didn't necessarily want the outlet closed down. He only wanted its liquor license taken away. Imagine the uproar such a punitive action would cause, second-and third-graders denied their after-school beer and pizza. I gathered together a scout team for my excursion to the Bronx. It included Vonnie, a neighbor, as well as Vonnie's daughter Camryn, 7, and another neighbor, Georgia, 5. Camryn, showing off, put on a lot of extremely glittery jewelry. I bet kids are afraid to do that in Milwaukee. I asked Camryn and Georgia if they were armed. "No," they both said. I asked if they were going to insist on mixed drinks. "No," they both said. Off we went. A confession: Before even arriving, I committed a number of illegal acts, all of them driving offenses brought about by the lousy directions given to me by the surly employee who answered the phone at Chuck E. Cheese's. By the time I got there, I felt prone to... read more

The Q
The Triple Threat
The Triple Threat The check at a very pleasant but not particularly fancy new restaurant in Manhattan came to about $500 for four of us. About average. The wine portion of the meal was less than $100. About average. Service was agreeable but not especially attentive or graceful. Better than average. We were there a little more than two hours. About average. I realized, with a shock, that I was probably supposed to leave a $100 tip. That's 20 percent, what many waiters in upscale restaurants expect these days. A lot has been said recently about the prices of main courses surpassing $40, but I've seen nothing about the commensurate rise in tips that has gone along with that. I think the days of tips being based on a percentage of food and wine costs has got to come to an end. It no longer makes sense. I really don't think the efforts of the restaurant staff were worth $100. I think I can anticipate the response to this: I'm going to hear that I'm cheap, I'm heartless, I don't understand what waiters do. Say what you want, but I'm only going to be convinced if I can grasp what this staff did to expect $100. I do understand that waiters get paid nothing of consequence—a few dollars an hour—and that they must depend on their tips. I know that in most restaurants they are obligated to make payouts: a percentage of the wine cost to the sommelier, a percentage of their total tips to the bartenders and to the most underpaid people in restaurants, those who bus tables. I know that few waiters get rich. I know there's more to what they do than take orders and bring plates to the table. I figured they spent about 30 minutes doing that. If that's all there was, that $100 tip would mean I paid about $200 an hour for service. Awhile ago, Thomas Keller instituted the French system at his famous New York restaurant Per Se. He established a flat-service charge that adds about 20 percent to the bill, actually a little more when you add in the additional sales tax, which is required with a service charge. He said he did it to... read more

The Q
A Working Man
A Working Man I watched in dismay as Marc Vetri, owner and chef of the restaurant Vetri, downloaded instructions on how to tie a bow tie. A gentleman who intends to dress in a tuxedo should have prior knowledge of the niceties, I thought, as I attached my clip-on. Vetri's tie looked rakish, which is a kindly way to say crooked. I complimented him on how wonderful he looked. I believe that's what waiters are supposed to do. He also wore patent-leather Michael Jordan basketball shoes. I did not praise those. That would have been going too far. I had come to Vetri, the unparallelled Italian restaurant in Philadelphia, to work at a white-truffle-and-Sassicaia dinner, which was priced at $750 per person. I could have attended as a guest, but that's more than I like to spend on rent. When I volunteered to wait tables and, I hoped, eat leftovers, Vetri agreed. He got a no-cost waiter and I got a chance to work in a restaurant, which is often more insightful than eating in a restaurant. Vetri's somewhat Lombarian and somewhat Piemontese restaurant, sprinkled with hints of haute, is practically flawless. That means the menu for the evening was, too. He didn't do any of the dumb things people often do with white truffles, such as shave them over roasted meats or grilled fish. White truffles have an unrivaled bouquet that is sweet, pungent, and decadent, an expression of haute decay. When the truffles arrive atop cream sauces, eggy pastas, and mild melted cheeses, the experience is exhilarating. I was proud to see that Vetri served no vegetables with the meal, except for sautéed onions and porcini mushrooms. Healthiness has no role in a truffle dinner. White truffles are also insanely expensive, about $160 an ounce this season, and most restaurants that put on gala dinners featuring them have trouble making a profit for that reason alone. Vetri made no money for another reason, because of the price of the 1985 Sassicaia. This enormously famous Tuscan red now retails for about $1,500 a bottle. He said, "We had a reasonable profit built in until we got to the '85. Now we're breaking even. Almost." Perhaps... read more

NBA Happenings: Apr. 23, 2014
Shoutout: 17 points in the fourth quarter for DeMar DeRozan, who finished with 30 and a big win in last night's Game 2. That included 9-11 from the free throw line, which is the kind of thing that wins playoff games.
Not so much: Which is exactly why Kirk Hinrich gets today's Not So Much — after bricking all three shots he took in overtime, Hinrich went to the line with two seconds remaining in overtime for two free throws that could have tied the game, then bricked the first one before missing the second one on purpose. It's like the lady I sat in front of during a high school basketball tournament once said over and over to herself: "What do free throws do? Win games."
Skyrider: DeMar DeRozan, besides being money from the line when it counts, is also an incredible dunker.
Someday, we'll tell our kids about how DeRozan got constantly shafted in dunk contests, refused to do them again, then channeled his dunking energy in to games. And really, that's probably all we'll tell them about him, but it's a huge compliment so I'm OK with it.

Guestbook comments from the owner
The accommodation and service was first class.The location effectively on the promenade and very close to the nearby Military Canal provided us with the perfect place for walks and cycle riding (recommend "the Hub" cycle hire in Sandgate just along the coast). The whole family (two adults and two teenage girls) fully recommend this apartment and surrounding area as an ideal location for visiting the many places on offer in Kent and East Sussex; we visited Whitstable, Canterbury, Rye, Battle, Dungeness, Lydd and had a great afternoon at Camber Sands. Also try Port Lympne Wildlife Park.
Joanna made us feel extremely welcome and was very helpful recommending local facilities: swimming pool, tennis courts, shopping and restaurants - Italian Trattoria in High Street was great, also try Sotirio's in Hythe, and Tinto Tapas in Sandgate. Additionally, the personalised Welcome Pack was great.
A very special thank you to Joanna for all her help and the very warm welcome, facilitating an excellent and very enjoyable stay.

US Army Military Police Officer Speaks Up
Preface by Elias Alias:
Please note that I may update this preface in coming times. Thank you.
I have been having a brief email exchange with an Officer in a Military Police unit. He is a patriot in uniform, and has a command to lead. He understands much about the American spirit of freedom, and has offered to share his perspective as an active duty MP Officer operating under today's military deployment on American soil. This Officer is also a gentleman, and he has a knack for clarity in writing. I find that his perspective, and his ability to put patriotic values into his presentation of that perspective, has a reassuring ring to it.
However, I also see room for informed and intelligent argument with one aspect of this subject – the subject of American troops doing *anything* in American towns, cities, or States. This is a very important subject and Assassin Six has done a valuable service to Oath Keepers to send in his essay as a testimonial. He has set the stage and I would like to see discussion about the military in general and, in particular, how the Founders viewed a standing army, spring to life in our comments section under his testimonial. I am looking for alternate or varied perspectives, varied perceptions.
The Founders made mention of a "Standing Army". There are many questions surrounding the fact that our Constitution requires a two-year limitation on any army raised by Congress, especially in light of today's international political climate. The Federal use of the U.S. Military during the last half of the Twentieth Century is suspect at best, as history now shows.
One such question has recently surfaced in a recommended training paper written by a retired U.S. Army Colonel, in which the "Tea Party" is cast as the "bad guys" who must be controlled by the military. Please read this link for that remarkable advancement in Fedgov's twisted thinking:
I am not one to be easily reassured, lately. So I have enjoyed an open communication with this anonymous Officer because he gives me renewed hope. (And yes, I have been in touch with this gentleman directly, and am happy to protect his identity. "Six" has given me permission to post this as an article for our front page here at Oath Keepers, but I also will post it as a stand-alone testimonial in our testimonials section of the site. Responses are invited, so please share your comments below the article.
Testimonial of "Six", current-serving U.S. Army MP Officer, as of August 14, 2012:
Picture this. Your active duty unit is part of a task force responding to a nuclear blast in a major U.S. city. Your task is to escort hundreds of people at a time, with wounds ranging from minor cuts and scrapes to lethal radiation exposure, into a triage center where they can receive first aid and be prioritized by type and severity, and from there to a field hospital a safe distance from the blast. As your troops sweat it out in the 100-degree heat outside the triage center, doing their best to deflect all manner of pleas and demands, your attention is drawn to a small group of men who seem to be elevating the anxiety of everyone around them. You zero in on the group and quickly identify one individual who is clearly taking a leadership role. You approach him, and he quickly demands to know why he's "being held at gunpoint and forced into a prison camp." His body posture suggests that he expects to be physically subdued, and his physique tells you that he could probably take you on if not one or two of your men at the same time.
From your training, you know you're supposed to reassure the man that his rights are not going to be violated, and that this is not an internment camp – but at the same time, you're looking at the National Guard guy over there with the M-16 and wondering the same damn thing. What if this guy walks off, besides a bunch of people following him to certain death? Will the guardsmen tackle him? Shoot him? Will you be asked to search or detain him? What can you do, besides pray you won't have to make that call?
I'm an officer in a Military Police company, and this is one of the scenarios I was presented with during a training exercise this month, as our unit prepares to assume a Defense Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear (CBRN) Response Force (DCRF) Mission in the near future. Please pardon my vagueness, but between Secret information and statements I'm about to make that could put me on blast, I really must remain uncommitted to any more specifics. DCRF is a mission given to the MPs and Chemical companies as a contingency for a dirty bomb explosion or similar-sized disaster in which the infrastructure of a U.S. city collapses, whether in part or in entirety. As we assume the mission, we would be ready to deploy for humanitarian aid inside the continental United States.
I am a recent first-time visitor to Oath Keepers, and at first was reluctant to do anything but monitor the site from a distance, but after seeing the article about federal troops patrolling in-CONUS, with a picture of an ASV (a vehicle unique to the MP Corps) I felt compelled to offer my perspective, such as it is. As Soldiers, we are aware that deploying federal troops to the U.S. is constitutionally perilous. We know all too well what we look like in up-armored humvees with dark sunglasses and battle gear slung across our chests. We know the connections that people will make, and the conclusions they will come to. And many of us agree. Putting federal troops in a police role is tantamount to a declaration of war on the people. If such a war ever occurs, I believe many of us have already chosen the right side, enough to make a military takeover nearly impossible.
Before I was sent to this particular field problem, I was tortured with visions of rounding people up into internment camps, cordoning off city blocks to make makeshift ghettos, and pulling people out of their homes "for their own good." As a citizen, the idea of the military acting in a civil policing capacity was (and is) offensive to my conscience, and as a Soldier, the idea of going into the wild west with no weapon gave me that chilly kind of feeling.
Having had a chance to see the mission play out in the training environment, however, I now am aware of a few mitigating factors that I felt the readership of this site should know. I've enumerated them here, in no particular order.
1. Regarding the scenario above – the answer is that we have no authority to hold the man or force him into the triage center if he doesn't want to go, even if we both know it means an agonizing slow death by radiation poisoning. If we are refused by the Sovereign Citizen, we are instructed to stand down. "Too easy."
*During the scenario, one of the civilian role players decided to slip out the back of the camo-net that we had set up for shade. I heard one of my guys yell "Escapee!" MPs – old habits die hard, you might say. Believe me when I say that I gave our whole group an earful over it!
2. As federal troops we are unarmed during this mission. The only exception would be to guard a federal installation, such as a government building, and that order would have to come straight from the Pentagon. We are instructed to identify ourselves as "Title 10," a reference to Title 10 of the United States Code, which explicitly forbids searches & seizures, arrests, or carrying of weapons by active troops.
2a. We support the "Title 32″ personnel, who have such authority. These personnel include the Police and National Guardsmen. When I approached one of the Guard troops and asked him about his empty M-16, he told me that he was instructed to "do nothing" with his weapon, and "seek cover" should a shooting situation arise – which perplexed me as to why he would be standing there in the first place and not out helping us with the litter carries.
2b. We know that this is America, and the people are armed. Out of self-preservation, trust me when I say the gestapo act dies at the lowest level. We are Americans helping Americans, no more and no less. Our typical duties may include casualty assessment, delivering food and supplies, relaying missing persons reports to the Red Cross, infrastructure reconnaissance, decontamination, praying with frightened old ladies, caring for lost pets, and a long list of completely benign tasks that there is simply not enough manpower to cover in a large-scale disaster scenario.
3. Contrary to what some seem to think, the several States are still sovereign. We can lawfully be there only at the request of the State's Governor, and only until the Governor asks us to leave. Beneath the Governor, the chain of command is: Incident Commander (civilian), Branch Manager (civilian), Site Supervisor (civilian). We answer to the civil authority. They have every right to stand us down if they see fit.
4. We can't force anybody into an internment camp. If a hasty facility, such as the aforementioned triage center, was to made to gather civilians, it would be there only until proper transportation and medical care could be arranged for them. The guards in those facilities, you'll notice, will be facing out – not in.
5. Interesting fact: if we encounter looters, even of our own gear, we are instructed to let them walk.
6. As always, houses and churches are off-limits. We may knock and greet as part of a wellness check, which we might use to gather a SWEAT report – an acronym for infrastructure reconnaissance that stands for Sewage, Water, Electricity, Academics, Trash – to which are also added Medical, Security, Communication, Religion and Economy, once the first five are accounted for. But we may not go into your house or church, unless we hear you on the other side of the door yelling "Help!"
7. Riot gear – our only purpose for being there would be to stop a human wave from pouring into a secure area, and as mission dictates, to supplement the police in case they are overwhelmed in a very limited capacity. We're definitely not there to throw tear gas into a Tea Party rally. Even if we had the authority to engage a riot larger than the entrance to a building, really with 24 sets of second-rate riot gear in the whole company, we wouldn't physically stand a chance.
I hope this short list of observations helps to put the in-CONUS troop exercises into perspective a little bit. Please know that there are patriots on both sides of this thing, all of us are loyal to the Constitution, and none of us can stomach the idea of disarming, interning, enslaving the American people in any fashion, under any pretext. I for one will be instructing my Troops to be extremely cautious, and conscious of the civilians' God-given rights. We have a lot of work to do educating our fellow troops. Posse Comitatus, the United States Code, the Constitution and the Bible, not necessarily in that order. They can't be emphasized enough.
To everybody who sees this, thank you for your service. I'd love to hear your feedback.
Stay frosty y'all. Six out.

I do enjoy reading manga. It's a lot faster than watching the anime, and where some anime drag on and on forever sometimes, and contains the dreaded filler episodes as well (main reason why I switched to reading the Naruto manga), these problems are all eliminated when reading the manga. My current favourite manga are Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, and Fruits Basket.
dark anime prince (Oct 16, 2008)
my faveorite manga series would have to be angel sanctuary. just because the storyline is so compelling that it just draws you in and keeps you there. theres also a several charaters to choose from all with different personalities. The next is vampire game. its was also very interseting and had a good storyline and all the characters were great^^
i would enjoy it more if it wasn't for 2 aspects of my life:
1 the local bookstore no longer sells my favorite manga, and i have no means of buying it online (no credit card or paypal)
2 i rarely have any money, as most of my cash i willingly give to my parents to help with the bills.
Why hello there!
I like reading manga, but not as much as i do when i'm reading books about vampires, werewolves, or demons.
It's one of my favorite daily past times. I rarely leave my room without one in my hand or my pocket.

Firefighters battle blaze, heat on Westside
Updated On: Aug 22 2014 09:09:52 PM EDT
The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to a house fire on Wells Road on Friday near the Cecil Commerce Center.
No one was in the home at 18031 Wells Road, but the roof collapsed before firefighters could get the blaze under control.
Firefighters on scene struggled with the extreme heat, and extra crews had to be brought in to make quicker rotations.
