Ali Baba is a wonderful little "pseudo-Persian" restaurant very close to campus on 3rd Street and A Street. During lunch times the place gets packed — and rightfully so! Ali Baba has amazing burgers (cheeseburgers especially), and cheap lunch specials that fill you to the brim. The burgers are on the greasier side of the spectrum, a plus for some.
The daily specials run a little under $6 with tax, are ready in an instant, and taste very good. Make sure you mix in the yogurt they give you — it's delicious! Also, you can order a half-order of the specials that runs much cheaper and gives you nearly as much food — they give you as much sauce but less rice. They have a red hot sauce that you can put on the rice to "kick it up a notch".
Their menu lists gyros, sandwiches, burritos, cheeseburgers, Indian dishes (i.e. chicken and green peas in curry rice), onion rings, baba ganouj, salads, and more. They are a "Jack of all trades" (where else can you get a Veggie Burrito, Falafel, and a Cheeseburger?). No sushi though.
The regulars (owners?) are always relaxing inside, playing backgammon against each other. Ali Baba is perhaps the backgammon capital of the area.
Also offering Mediterranean food (gyros, falafel, kebabs, dolmas,...) is Sam's Mediterranean, which is just a block down the street. Both are very popular, but Ali Baba may get slightly more business due to its proximity to campus and the fact that they take credit cards and Sam's doesn't. However, because of this, your food generally comes out faster at Sam's. Because both restaurants are so close in quality and location, there seems to be a bit of a rivalry; some people swear by Sam's Mediterranean, others swear by Ali Baba, but most are just excited that we have two great Mediterranean joints so close to campus.
Ali Baba offers free wireless internet.
Ali Baba changed ownership in June, 2008. Currently, the menu is exactly the same as before, although it may be expanded in the future. It was renovated in late November/early December 2008. The walls have been painted bright colors, the floor has been redone, there are new (and much nicer) tables and chairs, and there are new menu signs over the counter. The exterior was redone, too. Those that like the hole-in-the-wall look will miss the old decor, but it's hard not to see this as a drastic improvement in ambiance.

2008-01-27 20:16:01 The burgers are good. —GregWebb
2008-02-06 11:58:39 I ordered their special today, which was the "Baghali Polo"...dill and lima beans mixed with rice and a side of chicken curry. I used to hate the way dill smelled and tasted, but this one was more of a lightly fragrant smell rather than the really heavy smell that I was used to. The rice was light yet very flavorful, and the chicken was tender and well flavored by the curry. You should definitely mix the yogurt sauce into the rice; it really adds to the flavor. —wootywoo
2008-02-19 22:56:54 Good falafel sandwich (much better than Sam's which has soggy falafel). I agree with the other comments that the service is slow, but the food is hot and cooked to order so I don't mind! —mj
2008-03-18 15:58:04 Two notes. Firstly, they never seem to change their specials.. ever, which is amusing. Secondly, they used to have good onion rings.. but now they don't, early march I went there expecting some nice deep fried battered crispy onion greasy deliciousness, but sadly was served some reconstituted pre-made stuff that they had heated in their fryer. I felt a bit gyped. —DavidPoole
2008-03-19 00:18:20 I believe the specials correspond to a certain day of the week. For example, you will find the same special every Thursday. Perhaps you tend to visit on the same day each week. —IDoNotExist
I believe it has been the same 5 dishes for at least the past 17 years. —JimEvans
2008-04-06 09:43:10 The food here is good and inexpensive. Definitely a good place to eat. —IDoNotExist
2008-04-14 18:45:01 the specials are really good! especially the tuesday special, as well as the friday (pomegranite special). you can even order 1/2 special which is still a lot of food. i also highly recommend the burgers. if you do not want a lot of toppings you can always request that they be taken off, there are a lot of good combinations. PS. davidpoole, the onion rings are cooked the same way they have always been —ReginaGunn
2008-04-18 19:08:35 I got the Veggie Special today at 11:00. The cook down was 25 minutes but I had nothing to do so I was not in a rush. You can grab a copy of the Aggie while you wait for your food. The Veggie Special is a cup of sweet curry with potatoes, carrots, and lima beans with a huge rice and a small cup of non sweet yogurt. The food is very good considering the price is just a little under $6. If you are healthy, you can divide the Veggie Special into two portions (share with a friend or take out) and still be full. Good place if you don't mind the long wait. —justinhu
2008-04-22 12:55:39 for about $8 I got a REALLY dry and sort of gross salmon burger, fries and a drink. Compared to other salmon burgers that I have paid the same amount or less for, I was REALLY disappointed to say the least...disgusted might better convey my feelings. However, I LOVE Ali Baba's falafel and regular burgers, so I can't say that the entire restaurant is bad, in fact it's pretty good. The service is faster around lunch time and their fries are great (I don't like a lot of salt so I think their choice, but adding salt might be a good idea for some people).
My advice for first time, or any-time, Ali Baba-goers, get ANYTHING on the menu BUT the salmon burger...gah. —ArianeMetz
2008-05-11 11:50:19 I've been to Ali Baba a couple of times now, and I like the food there. The gyro I had was pretty good, and the dolmas were the best I've ever had. Last time I ordered the gyro burrito and got waaaaaaaay more than I expected. It was the biggest burrito I've ever seen. It was also very tasty, and how could you pass up a bottle of Sierra Nevada for 1.50!!! Hell, all their bottles are a 1.50. Good food and cheap beer, what more could you want? —JasonA
2008-06-14 03:54:38 Ali Baba's Bacon Cheeseburger = delicious. and they don't put stupid onion rings on it like the fast food places. —KellyCorcoran
2008-08-23 01:19:13 I absolutley love Ali Baba's! I've been going here for the longest time, my parents took me ever since I was a toddler. I can remember it going from different owners, and it's various remodels. I just recently went there again after not having been there for a long while. It is absolutley the best place for Persian food (im persian) other than my dad. Highly recommend the Fesenjun, which is Friday's special. It's this pomegranate walnut sauce with chicken. To die for. They give you wayyy more than you can eat, and just the right price. —natalie0927
2008-10-15 21:20:49 I think they may have changed their hours. They were not open when I biked by last Sunday (before 9 PM). Anybody know their new hours? —IDoNotExist
2008-10-15 21:33:22 We really, really miss their burgers. —EdWins
2008-11-07 18:10:26 Hi everyone, My name is Ali and I'm the new owner of ALI BABA.
I'm remodeling the restaurant and it's going to look great, I'm very excited. Ali Baba will be closed Nov. 27th-30th.
I'm planning on having an opening party with music and everything $5. Please let me know what you think, as your
feedbacks are greatly appreciated. I hope to make your visit to Ali Baba a lot more pleasant.
Thanks again,
p.s. feel free to contact me, my e-mail is: email@example.com —alismoghaddam
I hope the remodel goes smoothly, Yesterday I had a mushroom cheeseburger which was excellent and today as well as the day before last I had the feta cheesburger with bacon. Both times it was wonderful. —StevenDaubert
Hey Ali, its good to see that you're having a re-opening. I met you not long after you actually took on ownership, but I doubt you remember me since it was quite a while ago. Let me know if you have any flyers that you'd like to distribute and I'll help get them around downtown. —SunjeetBaadkar
2008-11-08 11:35:24 Are you the new owner (as of some time this summer), or the new new owner? ie. Did Ali Baba change hands again after Darish sold it? —IDoNotExist I don't think so, but Ali is the current owner and it's always nice to see business owners on the wiki! —StevenDaubert
2008-11-09 17:04:12 SunjeetBaadkar, I actually do remember you, if I recall correctly you either work or own a bookstore, right? —alismoghaddam
Awesome memory, my friend! Yes, I work at the independent bookstore downtown. —SunjeetBaadkar
2008-11-10 23:57:04 I went to Ali Baba's last week with a few friends. To my dismay, they were out of their delicious Onion Rings (on a Friday night, A FRIDAY NIGHT!?)!!! I wasn't VERY hungry, so I ordered a Greek salad (which has NOTHING on Crepeville's, and was honestly kind of expensive). In the end, I needed to get some salt, and again, I was bitterly let down. THEY HAD DONE AWAY WITH THEIR STEAK FRIES! OH THE HUMANITY! Now they have (obviously pre-frozen) crinkle-cut fries...oh I was so sad!! I will definitely go back to Ali Baba's for their deliciously onion-y falafel...but for now they have disappointed me. Aree Rating: 7/10. —ArianeMetz
As of December 17th, they had the steak fries. I was there to get an appetizer platter that night (see my other comment below) and during the wait had got some of the fries. —SunjeetBaadkar
2008-11-18 11:40:43 I should have heeded the comments and got a burger. I ordered the falafel sandwich to go - wrong move. Old lettuce and no tzaziki sauce. Falafels were soft, not crunchy. I was quite disappointed since I had my mouth all set for tzaziki sauce. Oh well. The place smelled of old grease too. Open a door or window!! —Zabadu
Falafel sandwiches rarely have tzaziki, rather they are prepared with a tahini sauce. Tzaziki is a Greek yogurt based sauce, not middle eastern. —ScottWeintraub
2008-12-03 18:32:01 Service is toooooooo slow! I used to go there for lunch but ever since this year, they seem to have changed things around. I used to be in and out of there in under 10 minutes (take away orders). Now it takes too long and management is pretty much incompetent . Whatever happened to the beer?? Burgers and Brew is the way to go now even for lunch. —Smithhammond
2008-12-03 18:43:30 I've found that since the management changed, it takes exactly the same amount of time to get my food as it did before. The time is primarily dependent on how long it takes the cook to make whatever you ordered. It's the same cook. Only the people at the counter have changed. —IDoNotExist
Actually you are mistaken. The cooks are different. It used to be this guy called corneelio now it's a different guy. I remember him very well and he used to be fast and always took care my orders (#3 on wheat).
2008-12-04 11:57:51 Can someone tell me if they serve Kabob Khoobedeh and how good it is? —condemned2bfree
Nevermind. Went for lunch today. It was excellent. Try the Kubideh Kabob if you're a meat-eater. It's not the best I've ever had. The rice could use some taste, but the meat was grilled fairly well - very slightly overcooked, but excellent nonetheless because of how juicy it was. The service is good. Some dishes you have to wait for 10-15 minutes but that's to be expected for food like that. The guy at the counter is very nice. Gazoy-e irani ghalee goubeh (Persian food is very good!) —condemned2bfree
*Hell, yea it is! Beh Salemati!—CurlyGirl26
2008-12-26 11:23:06 Well Scott, in Los Angeles, where the falafel is good, you get a version of a tzaziki - a yogurt based sauce. However, even if they did have it, I wouldn't go back - the place smelled badly of old grease. —Zabadu
I'm sure that many places around the country often serve tzatziki with eastern Middle East cuisine. It just doesn't happen to be actually part of that region's traditional cuisine. It's tasty, but expecting it is silly. Slide on down to Café Méditerranée where the menu is based on a region a bit farther west and you can both get falafel and tzatziki. —Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards
2008-12-26 11:54:34 I came here for an emergency (for lack of a better term) run for food for a small gathering. I needed a platter of different finger foods in a short amount of time. After patiently spending some minutes discussing the options with me, the on-site owner worked out a great platter of various vegetarian and non-vegetarian options at a decent price. About 15 minutes later, the entire thing was ready to go. The platter (which consisted of various kebabs, dolmas, falafel, etc) was a hit and was completely consumed over the course of the night. —SunjeetBaadkar
2009-01-06 23:23:15 I like the remodel! Also, it seems that the restaurant has been reestablished in non-Euclidian space. :-) —IDoNotExist
2009-01-14 00:36:15 They've renovated the place and it looks a lot better than before. They have a filafel wrap that is [i]very[/i] similar to the kind they serve at Sam's right across the street. They prepare their filafel pieces a little differently though, and I actually prefer Ali Baba's version. Not bad for $5. Plus they have a buy 10 get one free card. I don't know if they still give those out, though. —AmanpreetSingh
2009-02-11 20:43:23 Both the quality of the food and the atmosphere of Ali Baba have improved substantially since Ali took it over and rennovated it. Recommended. —IDoNotExist
2009-02-19 20:44:38 Their burgers are definitely worth their price, their fries are amazing, and their Wednesday Special rice is wonderful. I never take rice back home from a restaurant, but this was my first exception. —JonathanChee
2009-05-29 03:11:59 its impossible to get something wrong, all the food here seems so wonderful. i love the daily special with lima beans and dill weed in the rice. that is just soooooooooo freakin delicious. i normally hate dill too. the lamb kebabs are soooooooo succulent, pour some lemon to take off grease and bring out the flavors. Oh and i love how they give you yogurt when you ask for it. hmmmmmmm. i havent tried their burgers, but im curious now! the prices are very reasonable. it may not seem so because the restaurant leans more toward being quaint than elegant. but the food speaks for itself. —chand3123k
2009-06-14 12:49:45 mmmmm food here is so good and the service is always friendly, especially the guy there. —skinnyfatgirl
2009-06-21 01:02:12 I like the new environment. I usually get the feta burger, but i've also had a chicken salad here. Both very good and reasonably priced. I would be interested if they added additional persian dishes to the menu. —Babhari
2009-07-16 21:38:25 The kebabs are pretty good and it was very cool to find out that one of the cashiers out front is from my neighbprhood back home. —BryceH
2009-07-23 14:57:23 Went there recently after a loonng hiatus after reading of the recent renovation. The cook still very creepily ogles the female patrons, and the chicken chunks in the lunch specials still has pink in the middle. Probably won't go back again. —AnnieSirrah
2009-07-26 19:41:18 Recently decided to check this place out after many years living in Davis, and extremely happy and wish found it earlier! We don't go out to each much, but recently we've been going here about once a week. The daily specials are super good and their burgers are amazing! the bacon is incredible! The fries are awesome and seasoned with cinnamon and something else (anyone know what it is?), and thick cut. You only need to get the small fries for two people if you get other food, as the portions are really big. super chill staff, free drinks after 5pm, and good music on the ipod. great stuff and pretty cheap for students! —ADP
2009-08-23 14:37:19 I'm a huge fan of the Aggie Kebab over the Greek Salad. A bit pricey for an everyday meal, but absolutely satisfying and filling. —SunjeetBaadkar
2009-11-11 11:04:15 The Feta Burgers are the best in town (even after Burgers and Brew opened) and the Spinach Special on Thursdays is amazing. The owner is often on site and has an excellent attitude. —GJC02
2009-12-05 15:40:10 Nice People working here. It is very cramped though. I like their Wednesday special a lot. They need to do something about their bathroom though, the door doesn't even lock! —JSlice
2010-02-13 20:25:20 I do not recommend this place. I ordered the "Thursday" special, and it arrived before we had the chance to sit down at our table. I didn't realize that I was ordering fast food, but it wasn't much more than that. Both the chicken AND spinach were definitely out of a can (you know the flavor), which from the first bite was a huge disappointment. Overall, the waitress was nice, but the food was far from good. We tried this place b/c of the good reviews on here, but we won't eat here again. —ibirdie
2010-03-18 18:12:59 I am not a fan of the Styrofoam plates, cups, bowls etc but the food is good. My boyfriend loves the burritos because they are bigger than Chipotle, cheaper, and have more flavor. The salads are pretty good, and the specials are good prices. My personal favorite is the grilled cheese because it comes with tomato soup and a salad only for $5. The food quality varies from time to time but I have never had a bad experience. If youre looking for somewhere quick and consistent in quality, ali baba is the place —cj2012aggie
2010-04-12 18:30:38 The Aggie Kebab is seriously the best meal in Davis. Why? Sit down and listen. Yeah it sounds basic (just grilled chicken and rice right lol??) Well shut the hell up because it is unbelievably satisfying and delicious. Get it like I do, all rice with grilled onions and feta cheese. Eating it is the closest thing to a religious experience I have ever had in my whole life. All for around $8? Get the hell out of here, this is the best value in food in Davis and probably in North America. The owner Ali is tight as hell too, he knows what is up. I just ate the meal again and said out loud to myself "God damn" after every few bites, it's that good. You better eat there —LoooongBusRide
2010-05-28 20:22:13 It's all true about the burgers. So good! The char-ness of the meat contrasts wonderfully with the cool ingredients, and to my mind that is what makes a great burger. I can't believe I've lived here 10 years and hadn't tried them before, although I had tried other items (like the Fesenjoon ;) This is now my favorite burger in Davis - edging out Cafe Bernardo's. I also really liked the fries with cinnamon on them. —ZannGates
2010-06-06 14:48:42 I just had a Falafel Wrap here at Ali Baba's and it was delicious. I recommend getting one of the side "sauces" to dip the wrap. A+ —Darkfallin
2010-06-13 01:05:35 honestly, i was not expecting much out of this place. there's a window right at the entrance and the mexican working there in the dirty kitchen just gave a bad feeling. but now i want to hug that mexican and kiss the dirty kitchen. the burgers are amazing...the patty cooked right with fresh, crunchy lettuce, tomato squirting tangy juice all over your mouth with fries with a hint of cinnanmon that finish off a wonder sensation throughout your whole body...but if that doesn't convince you, try the Aggie kabob, half rice/salad. just try it. i think they sprinkle magic on their tomatoes...they are so good and juicy.(and i hate eating tomatoes raw!) —binladen

A little cushion
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 09-29-2012 - 8:42am
Hey everyone. I have one last question about setting up a budget. Knock on wood, praise God, etc. I haven't had any bounced checks, overdraft issues or missed payments on anything in longer than I can remember. However, the idea of having no cushion in my checking account makes me so nervous, just in case. I'm not even sure why because I am not on automatic withdraw of anything and I don't even have checks for the checking account so nothing can be forgotten about (you know what I mean, like oops, I wrote a check at the store and forgot to account for it and now it comes out of my account and I'm short money). lol My question is do you leave a little money unaccounted for just in case in checking when you are putting your money into savings or do you account for every single dollar in your budget. Right now I trying to see about 13 bucks in my hubby's account and I don't know if I should just leave it there for the time being or try to find a place for to fit it into savings. Thanks!
Have a great day.
|Mon, 10-01-2012 - 4:41pm
I am totally with you on this one. Even if you don't write checks off of it and not ED's, it is still possible to forget to write something down.
Also, one time I forgot to pay the phone bill. Could have sworn I had, and ignored the phone call and sure enough, one day we could not receive incoming phone calls.
So yea, I think it is a good idea to keep a little bit stashed for a cusion.
|Mon, 10-01-2012 - 3:30pm
I use $350 as a cushion in my checking account.
This is equal to the largest auto deduct I have set up. I keep it there just in case I forget to account for these withdrawal.
|Sat, 09-29-2012 - 1:55pm
I always have a little cushion in my checking account. I just don't count it really. Its a couple hundred dollars. I just like it like that. You never know what can happen. Plus if you want to keep a couple hundred in there maybe your efund only has to be $700. You can do it however you want. Its your money.

Windows 7
Windows 7 causes DSL modem to disconnect
I am having the strangest issue regarding windows 7 and my DSL connection. Let me try and explain it first:
I have a number of PC's that are connected wirelessly to the router these vary in operating systems from XP through to Mac OS. Connected to the router by cable is a Windows 7 PC and a linksys PAP2t (Voip). The router I am using is a linksys WRVS4400N (yes I know they already have known issues) and this is then connected to the modem which is a Billion BiPAC 5200. The billion modem is set in bridge mode so that the linksys router does all the connecting to the WAN.
Now if I use any of the NON Windows 7 pc's, I have no problem at all. I can sit on the internet for days on end without a single issue. As soon as I try to browse the internet with my Windows 7 PC, it causes the WAN to disconnect. After a minute or so it reconnects but once again I can only get through about 1 web page load on my windows 7 PC before it disconnects once again. If I then turn the Windows 7 PC off and start using one of the other PC's the internet goes back to normal and never disconnects.
What have I done to try and solve the problem?
- Connect Windows 7 PC directly to modem (Billion) and set wan settings in modem so that it is not in bridge mode.
- Contacted ISP several times
- Set static IP addresses on windows 7 PC
- Used 2 other types of modems (D-link and linksys)
All of these still have the same problem. When browsing the net on the Windows 7 PC it disconnects but with any other OS it works as per usual.
A few things I should point out:
- snr down=9 up=27
- line Att down=55 up=30
- The isp dramatically reduced my connection speed and that appeared to solve the problem but why does it only occur when using windows 7?
- The problem did disappear for at least a month but then reappeared
- It started to occur after downloading a large file using bit torrent The file still hasnt been completed and I have turned bit torrent off.
What I don't understand is why it only occurs when using Windows 7!
My understanding is that the systems connected to the network can't cause the modem to disconnect. Is this true? and if so then once again why does it only occur on the windows 7 PC? Could there be a virus or Trojan that can cause the problem? I am getting extremely frustrated by it as everything I have tried, has had no success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A twice-attacked miniature horse discovered over the weekend at a residence in El Dorado sparked accusations among neighbors that either loosened dogs or bobcats may have been responsible for the death.
After receiving notice of the horse's untimely death, a deputy was dispatched to a residence in the 200 block of Amason Road where the complainant advised when his mother came out to feed the animal at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday she found it dead in the pasture. Injuries were noted to the horse's neck and legs.
He reported that a month ago his sister was forced to fend off an attack by a large bull dog in which the horse sustained injuries to its legs, according to the Union County Sheriff's Office report.
Residents nearby reported hearing dogs barking around 10:30 p.m. the night before and that two bobcats, which belonged to another neighbor, got loose several months ago and killed a number of goats in the area.
The owner of the white bull dog allegedly responsible for the attack was given a copy of the city's animal ordinance and reminded to keep her animals penned.

In between filming interviews and making other films I managed to get some time coding with BT's Web 21st Century SDK. This allows devs to do some interesting phone stuff very easily.
From SMS messaging, placing voice calls to conference calls and even IVR applications, the Web21CSDK provides some great functionality.
I managed (with some help from BT's Nathan Fisher) to get the basics of an IVR application up and running. My plan is to cause the IVR application to post commands to my robot - A1DW. Enabling me to send him on patrol anywhere in my home while I am away. This should be quite simple now I have the basic authentication mechanism working (I'm using VS 2008 Beta 2 so had to play with my WSE 3 settings), the IVR application can perform HTTP Posts providing action data directly to A1DW's Post handlers in the navigation or motor drive MSRS services.
In building the test app I was also able to claim a Nanocopter for my boys to play with - by far the coolest swag at Tech Ed Developers 2007 (bar the conference T-Shirt).

Tad Lo
Travel Guide
Tad Lo is located in Salavan province, but most commonly visited on trips based from Pakse, 85 kilometres away via the Salavan Road. It's something of a budget travellers' paradise and more and more backpackers are onto this fact, visiting both by motorcycle and public bus. Tad Lo is really a series of three falls -- Tad Suong, Tad Lo and Tad Hang, around which most of the accommodation is grouped, in the village of Ban Saenvang.
Tad Hang is the first set of falls you'll see when you arrive -- they are the smallest and gentlest of the three, but provide the best opportunity for taking a dip. Signs warn about the dangers of getting too near the falls, but there are plenty of safe areas for swimming at the top of the falls and you'll spot a lot of locals fishing in the waters as well. The water is admittedly a bit murky, but not unhealthily so, as far as we were able to tell. A good way to get to the swimming spot is to walk or bike down the dirt road across the bridge and follow it around the other side of the hill where it pops out at some bungalows. From here, it's easy to get into the swimming hole.
Tad Lo itself is reached by crossing the bridge over to the Saise Resort and following the road up hill and around to an abandoned guesthouse. From here, the base of the falls can be reached on foot and you can swim in the massive pool at its base – a little bit like a whirlpool but exhilarating nonetheless. The massive granite wall over which the waters spill is definitely worth seeing even if you don't go for a swim.
Tad Suong, about 10 kilometres from town, is the best of the falls, but mainly in the wet season when it is in full flow. The path to the breathtaking falls lets out at the top, and oh boy, are you at the top. The falls plunge into a deep gorge, and in the dry season, it's possible to walk around on the rock table they spill over right up to the edge. Not recommended for those with acrophobia, and, of course, do your best not to fall off.
Once you get used to the height, the views are excellent and it's one of the prettiest places in the area. You can also cool off in one of the shallow pools at the top without being sluiced over the falls, but use your judgement if the current is particularly strong on a given day. Some may be disappointed with the falls in the driest months, when the water slows to just a trickle.
Tad Suong is the trickiest of the falls to get to, and you'll need a bicycle or motorbike, or arrange transport from town. Follow signs to the Tad Lo Lodge, but don't turn off the main road, just keep going. When you reach the power station, take a right. When that road ends, take a left and look for the marked turn-off on your left at the village of Ban Sanumnay. That road leads to a parking area and it's a short walk to the top of the falls. There's also a separate viewing area here which faces the front of the falls from where you can grab a couple of photos.

Tad Lo reviews
Backchat from the Travelfish community
Tad Suong is unbelievable
All three waterfalls are pretty in their own way, but Tad Suong in particular is extremely memorable.
As mentioned above, during the dry season it's possible to walk to the edge of the waterfall. It has a ''top-of-the-world'' feel to it. What you see in front of you is like a huge wallpaper.
Tad Suong doesn't look that great at all when viewed from the front (which can be done by following another path down to a pavilion opposite the falls), but at the top, not many places can compete with it.
If you are there late afternoon, the sunlight reflecting on the water that get sprayed out of way by the wind will produce a rainbow. Great picture opportunities there.
The direction to Tad Suong given in the travel guide above is clear enough, though the ''turn-off on your left at the village of Ban Sanumnay'' is no longer poorly marked. There are helpful road signs that direct you to Tad Suong along the way if you follow the directions above.
We were the only ones at Tad Suong when we went. Hopefully you will enjoy Tad Suong as much as we did!

go out of your way to get here
Tad Lo is becoming a must stop for those passing through Pakse. It's easy to get here on motorbike (even for the inexperienced) and very rewarding. Though the common route is to hit Paksong, Tad Lo is a better destination for relaxing as the temperature is warmer and there is more to do.
The traveller scene here is blowing up, but the people remain friendly and the community is still interwoven with the guesthouses - so you don't get that sense of distance you might find in Si Phon Don. There are at least three nice waterfalls to check out and plenty of villages to ride through. Crime-less village is a great spot to meet some locals for dinner if you feel like avoiding the traveler spots. And though there are a lot of rumors of theft, it seems the locals are working hard to inform travelers of the risk.
You can use Tad Lo as a base camp to explore a much larger area and its an easy ride. If you've got a few days you must do a Tad Lo-Paksong short loop, and if you've got longer you should let yourself disappear into the plateau.
It may not stay this way, as there were some trickling-in elements of the 'party trail', kids looking for a place to stop between Si Phon Don and Vang Vieng.

Results and Successes
The Good Choices Program has been delivered in public schools, private schools, youth groups and home school programs with excellent results.
Below are results and successes from some of the recent program graduates.
Thousand Oaks Santa Barbara San Jose
Thousand Oaks Boys and Girls Club
Emmy Award Winning actress Nancy Cartwright with recent Good Choices Program graduates
in Thousand Oaks, California.
Successes from Good Choices Program graduates:
I use the information from the Good Choices program by helping my Mom. She just had a baby and I help her a lot because he cries a lot and I always try to help her. I also help my parents and clean up and stuff. It makes me feel happy and my Mom and Dad feel really good that I'm actually taking the time to help her. I like that you guys came in here and just helped us realize what we should be thankful for and all that we need to be doing, like instead of putting people down we should be helping them. - C.R.
I like the videos, especially the one about "don't cheat". And I also liked reading and figuring out how I can be better and make myself on the way to happiness. I've been helping my Mom, when she asks me to clean my room I do that and then clean my sister's because sometimes it's a little messy and she's doing piano. I also clean the bathroom. This makes my sister, me, my Dad and Mom very, very happy. I want to thank you guys for coming in and helping us go to the road to happiness. - A.W.
The program was a lot of fun. Watching the videos was the most fun, especially the one with the guy getting slapped. I like how you guys came in and helped us with making good choices. I've made good choices in my life by cleaning my room sometimes and this makes my Mom happy. For some reason, one time, I took this bucket and filled it with water and I made her her own little spa. The Good Choices Program was fun. - J.G.
I like making better choices than I was before you guys came in – doing better stuff. Like meeting other friends that my other friends didn't like and I included them in. Also believing in myself and following my path and not their path. The program was really awesome. - S.L.
This was really fun. The best thing I liked about the program were the videos on how to make good choices by helping other people when they get pushed and the part about the little boy painting over graffiti and the other kids coming to help him.
I use the information form the Good Choices program by helping other people if they are in need, like sometimes when they are pushed and they fall and it's just good to help them out to feel better. I also help my family out like with my sister and her friend were coming over. My Dad asked me to clean her room and kitchen and instead I cleaned all the rooms and the house. - B.F.
Like everybody else, I liked watching the videos. Especially the one with this guy that was painting over the graffiti and the other guys coming over to help him. Some of the chapters are about helping others and helping your parents, so I started to do chores I never did before. I only did chores when I was 6 but then I started to do them again after the first day of the Good Choices Program. It was really fun and I want to thank you for coming. - E.S.
Program Leader Success
I have seen the children really excited about the program and actually use the chart that shows them the degree of good and bad choices they can make. I plan to post that chart and use it during the school year. Our kids are amazing and have been very excited about the classes. The kids are really good but they have stepped up even more on helping each other out. We have a severely autistic child here and several of the kids that have been part of the Good Choices class have taken it on to themselves to really get to know her and make sure she's where she's supposed to be, etc. The kids love the program and have been really excited about attending the classes every Friday. It's been such a wonderful opportunity to have you here every Friday and I really appreciate it all.

Santa Barbara Boys and Girls Club
Emmy Award Winning actress Nancy Cartwright with recent Good Choices Program graduates
in Santa Barbara, California.
Successes from Good Choices Program graduates:
You know I now try not to do things to others that I wouldn't like them to do to me. Well, I went to my school and I told the principal that there's been bullying in school. And now, all the people who've been bullying got suspended. - L.N.
This program was very helpful for me. It was fun and taught me a lot of stuff. Now I know to make good choices I choose in life to succeed and if someone tells me I can't do what I like I will just ignore them. I will do what I will do best and choose to make good choices in life and not steal, hurt or bully. I will be kind and helpful to everyone. I will never steal or murder anyone in life and I will be super kind. - E.G.
I really thought this program taught me well. I would really love to take this program again! Every time someone does something bad, they get in trouble. I hope if other people see the videos and listen to the lessons they will realize that every time you do something wrong you get in trouble and will have to face the consequences! Remember make GOOD CHOICES! - L.S.
This program helped because it taught me about sticking up for others and helping my parents out. It taught me about GOOD CHOICES. Now I know to be nice to others and treat them the way you want to be treated. - K.M.
Program Director
I read through the book and loved it. This is the exact thing that we wanted to present to the kids. The kids really do need a good moral compass. This program is so hands on and this is why I participated in every class because I really wanted to learn how it works and how it's delivered. It's so fun to see how the kids interacted and they're so excited, and I love that. Today when we passed out the papers and asked the kids what they got out of the program, some of the responses were beautiful. Throughout the week we talk about what they've learned during the program and I get kids that come up to me and tell me how one of the kids is bullying another kid and feel he should be stopped. So they really remember the lessons and talk about it throughout the week. That's why I know it's working.
C.B., Program Director
Boys and Girls Club Executive
I love the successes from our children that enrolled in the Good Choices class. What a great opportunity for us to impact our children in a positive way. They really need to know the possibilities available to them once they make the right choice! Thank you for bringing this program to our club. It sure seems to be impacting our kids greatly.

San Jose Happy House/Good Choices Delivery
City Councilman Pete Constant was a recent guest speaker for the Good Choices Program at the Starbird Teen Center in San Jose.
Successes from Good Choices Program graduates:
I learned that instead of doing drugs, drinking or joining a gang you can join a basketball team or become a fireman. Just something to keep you away from doing something that will change your life in a bad way. You could make the choice of going to prison or becoming successful. The thing I liked most was being able to make a good choice. And by joining this program, I have changed how I make my choices. - CR
What I learned this summer is to make good choices. In this program I learned that I should not get in gangs or in bad stuff. This program taught me so much because I used to think that gangs were cool and I wanted to get in one when I grew up. Wow that I came to this program I don't want to join a gang anymore. Thank You. - PP
I learned that we need to make good choices. I learned that I should not get stuff that's not mine. I learned to always floss your teeth. I also learned never to get in a gang. - AM
I learned to not do drugs because they are bad. - CJ
What I learned is that making good choices is good for your life. I liked the guy that spoke about gangs because that's a real experience. Making good choices is the way to be happy. - CD
I learned to eat the right kinds of food every day. To have fun. Don't do drugs. - JE
This summer I learned to be good in school and to do my best in staying out of gangs and not doing drugs because you will regret it later on in life. I also learned that eating 5 kinds of fruits and vegetables keeps you healthy and strong. Brushing your teeth and flossing will keep your mouth healthy. - VR
I learned that drugs are bad and that stealing is bad and you shouldn't do it. Drugs are bad cause they will/can kill your brain cells and will eat your insides. - JM
This summer I learned that making good choices can really help in the future. This program has helped me realize that making good choices can help me and the people around me will as well. The people that worked here are very kind and they make you feel at home. They brought us guest speakers and took us to other places so we can see to make good choices not only in our neighborhood but everywhere. One of the guest speakers was a dancer and I love to dance so that was great to see if you really tried that you can do whatever you want. - MB
I learned that we can positively affect our lives and the world by making good choices. If we avoid drug abuse, eat healthy, and care for ourselves and our community, we can make our world a better and safer place. Change starts with ourselves and happiness lies in the service of others. Thanks for a great summer! - AC
What I learned is that it's good to make good choices and when you make them you are on your way to being happy. I also learned not to do drugs because when you do them you will mess your life up in the future also you get more depressed. I also learned if you have a dream that you stick to it and practice. - RL
During the good choice program that was held at the teen center I learned a lot, for example how to eat healthy. Also, a lot of laws and how to make smarter choices so I could have a great and wonderful life instead of a really bad life of crime. It also helped me in staying out of trouble. Instead of being in the streets doing bad things I was getting more educated and having a better life. For that I thank the Good Choices Program. - JG

An Invite
An invitation to check out my new blog Choose 2 Live: Choose Health
What this blog is about:
Seeking to glorify my Savior, Jesus Christ, by living a healthy and balanced life. Asking Him, to cultivate in me, a passionate desire for Him, above ALL else. To make HIM my sole desire; therefore, removing my need to find comfort in food.
Seeking to be obedient, specifically with regard to the sin of gluttony and overindulgence in my life.
I'd LOVE for you to join me if that is YOUR desire as well.

iPad 2 Smart Covers: dumb at protecting from damage
Yesterday, an enthusiastic and somewhat healthy looking Steve Jobs unveiled the long-awaited and rumored iPad 2 to much applause. He also showed off the iPad 2's "Smart Covers." Problem is, the covers don't really protect the thinner tablet from the bumpiness of daily life.
Attached onto the iPad 2 with nothing more than two magnetic latches, the Smart Cover is Apple's new official iPad accessory. When the cover is peeled open, the iPad 2 turns on and when covered back up, it returns to standby. It's a smart design with one major flaw: it doesn't protect anything but the iPad 2's screen.
Starting with the iPhone 4 and those ridiculously overpriced $30 "bumpers" — it seems Apple is intent on rushing out "cases" that shield next to nothing. In this case, the Smart Cover leaves the iPad 2's sides and back completely exposed in the event of a drop or rubdown in your bag.
Aside from looking real thin and shiny, should your iPad 2 experience a tumble with the Smart Cover on, it'll also be real dented and scratched. Hey, I'm just sayin'.
If you don't mind overpriced Apple covers, you can buy them in polyurethane for $40 or in leather for $70.

The Minnesota Department of Human Services provides Minnesotans with a variety of services intended to help people live as independently as possible.
People in recovery from substance use and mental health disorders, representatives of recovery and military support organizations, DHS leaders and other stakeholders gathered Sept. 4 at the Elmer L. Andersen Human Services Building to kick off Recovery Month in Minnesota with an evening of speakers focused on service members and others.
Keynote speaker Kevin McCauley is a former naval flight surgeon, co-founder of the Institute for Addiction Study in Salt Lake City and advocate for the rights of addicts as patients. He spoke about the science of addiction, his own experience in recovery and that of pilots he worked with.
The military, he said, has a proud history of dealing with issues in a practical manner. That approach, he said, meant putting pilots back in the cockpit after addiction treatment rather than a punitive approach that would rob them of motivation to enter recovery.
"An explosion of knowledge about addiction," he said, bodes well for lifting stigma and increasing understanding, effective treatment and recovery.
"This is a time of great possibility for how addiction is treated," DHS Commissioner Lucinda Jesson told the group. She said acceptance has grown within all fields that the best fit for addiction treatment, rather than episodic care, is a chronic health management model that blends ongoing case management and peer recovery suport.
Other guest speakers included Nicole Ly, veterans and military outreach representative, Office of U.S. Senator Al Franken; David Holewinski, Veterans Justice Outreach coordinator for the Minneapolis Veterans Administration Health Care System; and Trista Matascastillo of the Women Veterans Initiative.
The event also included resource tables and representatives from several organizations, including Alcoholics Anonymous, the Minnesota Recovery Connection, Narcotics Anonymous, Women for Sobriety, H.E.A.R.T. (Help Enable Addicts to Receive Treatment) Foundation and the Minnesota Prevention Resource Center.
DHS is a partner in other Recovery Month events, which continue this month with the Recovery Month Twins Game on Sept. 10 and the Walk For Recovery at Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis on Saturday, Sept. 21. More information about events is available at www.minnesotarecovery.org.

Update from the Legislative CommitteeBy Karen DikeLegislative Committee Chair
I have always loved politics and now am combining that love with volunteering for the Sierra Club. I recently decided to accept the Chapter's offer to chair the Legislative Committee. I hope to successfully fill Mary Edward's large shoes! Here are two priorities you can expect our committee to focus on this year:
We will work with our RMC lobbyist and other green organizations to steer these issues forward. It will be a tough year to get legislation introduced due to the upcoming elections and the recalls from last year. Additionally, the committee sets priorities for other potential bills, and we will ask the lobbyist to watch these for us. At the end of the session, a legislative score card is completed in conjunction with other green organizations, which assists us in looking at how all the legislators performed on environmental issues over the year.Lastly––and this is where YOU come in––please keep informed on issues important to you, your community, and your favorite outdoor spaces. We will let you know the progress of important environmental bills. And we encourage you to use your voice to your let your legislators know where you stand on issues. Staying in touch with our elected officials is now more important than ever, given tremendous influence of big industry and others who too often place money ahead of the environment.

Do some patients deserve special treatment? - page 2
Patient some time ago in my SICU was admitted after what was supposed to be an anterior approach back surgery of some type. Orthopedic surgeons made a horrific technical error (blamed it on a retraction device used, another... Read More
- 0Jul 27, '10 by purplerabbit2012Not that I'm justifying the patient's and patient's family's actions but the fact is the hospital staff messed up. On the grand scheme of things a little annoyance is still better than a lawsuit. If the pt sues the hospital that would cost the hospital a lot of money which means they will have less revenue which means less money for employee wages, for example.
So what I would personally do, if I was ever on this position is to treat them with extra respect and extra "niceness" (for lack of a better term) that way they can be less annoying and management can get off your back. Just an opinion.
- 5Jul 28, '10 by NeveranurseagainMy husband died of a medical incident. I did not expect to be treated better or differently than other families of critically ill patients, but what I did expect was some compassion and normal nursing care while he was on life support. Instead, the staff/MD's were so afraid to talk to me that very little was said, except from a few nurses. Here I was, among what I thought was my sisterhood of nurses, and was treated with silence. And my actions and attitude did not have anything to do with it. I realized he was dying and wanted him to die in peace, not be surrounded by anger and harsh words.
So do some patients deserve better care? No, as every pt. should be treated according to the nursing standards of care, which includes compassion.
- 0Jul 28, '10 by neutrophilThis question is very good. The problem with answering this question is that, what happened to this patient is a life changing experience that could have ended his life.
So from this point on, his life will never be the same. He could have died. So in this case. Upper management, need to be the buffer. They need to get into damage control and be very good at it. The nurses that are doing the step by step patient care, should be expected to do the best nursing job they can. But should not need to be part of that over the top damage control, customer service, that can actually take away from proper patient care.
The problem is that, nurses can see this, but the patient and family point of view is different. It is one unit and that unit needs to do what is necessary in the eyes of the patient. Very difficult.
There are other cases, where the patient and family have nothing over and above what other patients have. It never fails to amaze me that people are being treated and cared for by professionals, that if it wasn't for these professionals, they might die, or be more negatively affected, and yet they treat their nurses horribly. Have you noticed that some nationalities, treat you like you are special and your profession is to be respected. Some of this is cultural.
We, in the USA, have taught people that if they are paying money, they can demand what they want, reasonable or not.
In assisted living, residents are supposed to be helped to be as independent as possible and their privacy is essential. Which means encouraging them to do more for themselves, and only call if it is essential. Many complain that not enough is being done for them. In LTC's, their freedom has been taken away. So the only thing that they have control of, is expecting medication at a certain time, how good or bad the food tastes, even to the point of saying, "no, I don't want a shower today." I say, give them what they want, but don't cripple them and don't cripple your effectiveness to help all of the patients, due to a primadonna. Special treatment should depend more on acuity than capriciousness.

The Chancellor's Colonel Rowan Award for Execution is based on "A Message to Garcia," a piece of literature published by the Action Foundation. The story recalls President William McKinley's need to get an urgent message to General Calixto Garcia, who was leading an insurgent force against Spanish troops in Cuba. However, no one was sure of Garcia's exact location, other than the mountains of Cuba. The President summoned Colonel Andrew Rowan and gave him a sealed pouch with one simple command: "Get that message to Garica."
Four days later, Rowan reached shore in Cuba. After three weeks, he emerged from the jungle having successfully delivered the message to Garcia. Colonel Rowan did not procrastinate or put together a committee to determine the best way to deliver the message. He simply executed the task he was given.
All nominators are encouraged to read "A Message to Garcia," which is available on the Action Foundation's website at www.actonfoundation.org/pdf/messagetogarcia.pdf.
The Chancellor's Colonel Rowan Award for Execution recognizes an individual who has one or more years of service with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. This award is given to an individual who demonstrates the ability to execute and follow-up with important projects. The individual should also demonstrate the following attributes:

Reviews for Zucchini Onion Pie
Sort By :
"This was very good, I didn't change a thing except I did dice up the zucchini. It turn out great."
"Absolutely one of the best recipes I have ever made. No changes needed. The inside is creamy, and the onion and zucchini cook up perfectly (no need to pre-cook as others suggested). It is a "pie", not a quiche, so ignore comments about it not being "eggy" enough--its not supposed to be! I would serve this to company, its that impressive."
"I have been making this recipe for years, and it is one of my favorites! I use 1/3 cup of light olive oil, instead of Canola, and dice the zucchini, instead of slicing, I like the texture better. I reduced the cheese to 3/4 Cup. It is wonderful, hot or cold!"
"Texture is a bit strange. I also would use less biscuit mix but probably won't make it again anyway."
"We loved it. I wasn't paying enough attention and put in 2 cups of biscuit mix so I added a cup of milk and baked it longer. Still turned out great. We loved it."

Social media's impact on television viewing and audience engagement will be quantified in real- time, with word of a multi-year deal between top TV ratings agency Neilsen and the popular social media network, Twitter.
The new Nielsen Twitter TV Rating service will measure the conversation around various programs on Twitter; it will begin commercial service in the U.S. in the fall 2013 TV season.
Measuring the effect of various digital media platforms, including dedicated microsites, tablet viewing, companion mobile apps and social media network interaction is driving several industry initiatives and corporate mergers as the industry seeks to quantify and monetize television related digital media activity.
"The Nielsen Twitter TV Rating is a significant step forward for the industry, particularly as programmers develop increasingly captivating live TV and new second-screen experiences, and advertisers create integrated ad campaigns that combine paid and earned media," said Steve Hasker, President, Global Media Products and Advertiser Solutions at Nielsen. "As a media measurement leader we recognize that Twitter is the preeminent source of real-time television engagement data."
The Nielsen Twitter TV Rating builds on the social TV analytics and metrics already available from SocialGuide – recently acquired by Neilsen – by adding the first-ever measurement of the total audience for social TV activity.
Measurements are aside to include those participating in the conversation and those exposed to the activity, providing a precise value of the size of the audience and effect of social TV on TV programming.
SocialGuide currently captures Twitter TV activity for all U.S. programming across 234 TV channels in English and Spanish, and more than 36,000 programs. Through a sophisticated classification process, SocialGuide matches Tweets to TV programs to offer key social TV metrics including the number of unique Tweets associated with a given program and rankings for the most social TV programs.
"Our users love the shared experience of watching television while engaging with other viewers and show talent. Twitter has become the world's digital water cooler, where conversations about TV happen in real time. Nielsen is who the networks rely on to give better content to viewers and clearer results to marketers," said Chloe Sladden, Twitter's vice president of media. "This effort reflects Nielsen's foresight into the evolving nature of the TV viewing experience, and we're looking forward to collaborating with Twitter ecosystem partners on this metric to help broadcasters and advertisers create truly social TV experiences."
TV viewers discuss TV on Twitter, creating a new dynamic between audiences and programming. The service's more than 140 million active users send one billion Tweets every two and a half days, the vast majority of which is public and conversational, making Twitter data a necessity in producing standardized metrics representing online and mobile conversations about television.
The Nielsen Twitter TV Rating will serve to complement Nielsen's existing TV ratings, giving TV networks and advertisers the real-time metrics required to understand TV audience social activity. These ratings will build on top of NM Incite's SocialGuide audience engagement analytics platform. NM Incite is a joint venture between Nielsen and McKinsey & Co., and the hub of Nielsen's social media analytics efforts.
"The proliferation of smartphones and tablets has generated a substantial 'connected' TV audience that is simultaneously watching television and accessing the Internet through these devices. This, in turn, will continue to create the opportunity for content providers like CBS to offer engaging interactive features for our viewers. As this form of viewer engagement evolves into a mainstream activity, it presents ways for CBS to enhance the viewing experience for our viewers and our advertisers. We are already engaged with Nielsen and Twitter in a program of research and experimentation in this exciting new area," said David F. Poltrack, Chief Research Officer, CBS Corporation. "We are pleased to see Nielsen and Twitter join together to provide a comprehensive measurement system that will allow us to employ these social networking tools to their full advantage."
"Twitter is a powerful messenger and a lot of fun for fans of our shows, providing them with the opportunity to engage, connect and voice their opinions directly to each other and us," said Peter Rice, Chairman and CEO, Fox Networks Group. "Combining the instant feedback of Twitter with Nielsen ratings will benefit us, program producers, and our advertising partners."

Yet here we are, and in the interest of saving everyone some time and money, we've scoured the new collections looking for items of exceptional quality, design, or value. Or, in the case of this jacket from Lubiam, all three. For more on that and much else, keep reading...

It's speculation time again. Zap has announced that they will be making an announcement next month about another proposed electric vehicle. Based on what we know about Zap, what kind of vehicle might this be? With the $30,000 price target and Zap's limited resources to develop a vehicle, it will almost assuredly be based on something that already exists, much like the Zap-X is supposed to be based on the Lotus APX concept.
That brings up the question of what platform might be available for Zap to use? Based on Zap's history so far and those limited resources the company is likely to lean toward a three wheeler. As Zap's Alex Campbell explained in a video with Matt Kelly of the Next Gear, they like the three wheel configuration because it's classed as a motorcycle and doesn't have to be crashed tested or meet any crash standards.
Continue reading about what might be after the jump.
As Tesla and other car manufacturers know,meeting modern crash test standards is no easy matter and is a very expensive proposition. Don't forget what happened when the Indian built Reva EV was crash tested recently in England. The idea of producing another three wheeler would seem obvious, but the question is what vehicle to use. Zap CEO Steve Schnieder has already said he wanted to expand the company's relationship with Lotus.
Some searching around on the web brings up a report and some spy photos from spring 2006 indicating that Lotus was working with Volkswagen on their GX3 trike that was shown at the January 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show. The response to the GX3 was so enthusiastic that Volkswagen had said they were going to evaluate putting the vehicle into limited production. However a couple of months after the spy photos appeared Volkswagen announced that they would not pursue building the GX3 because of safety concerns.
Lotus has a strict client confidentiality policy, refusing to ever comment on the work that they do for many of the world's car makers. As such they declined to discuss the GX3. Volkswagen spokesman Keith Price did answer a few questions regarding the GX3. He confirmed that Lotus did indeed help VW with some of the prototype work on the GX3, however the GX3 was a Volkswagen design and Lotus has no rights to use the GX3 as the basis for any other vehicle program.
So the GX3 will not be directly evolved into a new Zap vehicle, at least not with Volkswagen's consent. However, that doesn't mean the concept can't inspire another vehicle, in this case a wheel-motor driven, lithium-battery powered two-seat trike. Any lessons the Lotus engineers learned about the handling dynamics of such a vehicle could be applied to a new Zap trike. So even though the GX3 likely won't be reborn, lessons learned from it may be applied if Zap's new vehicle ever moves beyond the concept sketch stage.
