Recently by Michael Boldin: Rematch: Texas Takes on the TSA Again
Tom Woods recently put together a list of recommended books, and I thought that this was a great idea for Tenthers as well. His introduction was perfect, it fits here as well:
People often ask me what books they ought to read in order to get quickly up to speed on economics, politics, and history. Here are some suggestions.
If you're like me, you are annoyed by books that teach you three new things. My time is limited. I like books that are full of things I didn't know, or ideas I'd never thought of.
The books I recommend below belong in that category. They teach you something new and unexpected on every page. And they are a perfect antidote to the propaganda fed to us in the ideological prison camps where most of us spent our formative years. I list them in no particular order.
Tom, thanks for the great introduction, it applies here as well! So with that, here's my recommendation list of the top-10 books for Tenthers. I urge you to read them in the order presented. Doing so will almost act like a series of course as you work towards your "Tenther Degree!"
To start, get a great introduction to the Founder's constitutional thought – and vision with two books. The Founding Fathers' Guide to the Constitution by Brion McClanahan might be the definitive layman's handbook on the Constitution. And Kevin Gutzman's Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution is THE book for the layman to overcome the "received wisdom" about what constitutional law is.
For those that want to dig deeper into the original legal meaning of the Constitution, the ultimate book is Rob Natelson's The Original Constitution: What it Actually Said and Meant, published right here at the Tenth Amendment Center. TOC gives you the tools you need to understand the proper role of the federal government and to counter common myths about America's Founders and the Constitution they gave us.
As Natelson shows so well in The Original Constitution, it's essential to understand what the constitution meant to those who drafted it (the Framers) and those who approved it (the Ratifiers). St. George Tucker's 1803 View of the Constitution of the United States was the standard text on the understanding of the document for decades. The importance? Well if this is the book that explained the common public understanding of the constitution at that time, it holds great value for understanding it today.
Once you've got a good understanding of the Constitution's framework is all about, the question almost always remains: What do we do when the Constitution is violated? Tom Woods' Nullification is the handbook on the topic. It's filled with all the historical information you need to understand the constitutional basis for the doctrine. And Mike Maharrey's new book, Our Last Hope: Rediscovering the Lost Path to Liberty, places nullification in a modern context, and even provides some insight on good action steps for you to take today.
At this point, you're more than half way through. You know more than most on the Constitution and what to do about violations of its limits. Moving forward, is taking a bit of a step back. I think Murray Rothbard's Conceived in Liberty is not only the most information-packed history of America ever written, it's also in a style that's extremely engaging. Rothbard had a story-telling knack like few others and you'll find yourself immersed in the long history of the early days of America.
Next, you'll want to dive head-first into Kevin Gutzman's James Madison and the Making of America. This book isn't just the best-written biography on the 4th president, it's much more Read it to find out why. You won't be disappointed!
The last two books on this reading list take you to some deep scholarly study on two of the most important issues that Tenthers address. The Origins of the Necessary and Proper Clause serves as a reference source for scholars seeking to understand the intellectual foundations of one of the Constitution's most important clauses. It was written by four of the nations leading constitutional experts, Gary Lawson, Geoffrey P. Miller, Robert G. Natelson, and Guy I. Seidman.
Finally, Raoul Berger's Government by Judiciary might be the most important book you'll read moving forward. It is the thesis of this monumentally argued book that the United States Supreme Court – largely through abuses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution – has embarked on "a continuing revision of the Constitution, under the guise of interpretation." If you choose just one book after the first half, this is the one you should get.
Ok, I couldn't stop at 10. So as a bonus read, Louis Fisher's Presidential War Power is just plain awesome.
Have you read any of these books? If so, which have you read and what are your thoughts on them? Post in the comments below.

This is the first of a series of posts I'm calling "Shooter in focus". It is a chance for top Cameramen and VJ's to share their work and pass on useful hints and tips to the rest of us. Today I interview Dan Martland who is the New York based Cameraman and Editor for British breakfast show "Daybreak". Dan really is a class act and I've learnt a few things from looking at his work. . .
Chris – So tell us about your background
Dan – I went to College and studied a Btec in Media studies. I knew exactly the field i wanted to be in. In fact I knew what I wanted to do from a very early age. I was always with a stills camera in my hand, I had a strong interest in photography and composition. Growing up, my Uncle worked in the film industry as a cameraman and director. I always thought that this was an awesome job and I wanted to follow in his footsteps.
Whilst studying during the week, I was lucky enough to get a part time job on the weekends working for an outside broadcast company mainly rigging up cables and cameras for Premiership Football games ON Match of the day or Sky sports. I spent most weekends travelling the length of the country (UK) from stadium to stadium, come rain or shine getting my hands dirty and learning the craft from the ground up. This was the best way for me to learn on the job and meet some great contacts along the way. I eventually progressed onto cameras shooting the Live games.
After leaving college I decided to try my hand in the film industry. I started off working for a rental house where I used to prep cameras and grip gear, both video and film for daily, weekly and monthly shoots. I was lucky enough to assist on feature films such as Bridget Jones's Diary as well as music videos and commercials. I quickly realized that film wasn't really for me and TV was where my head was at. I wanted to be operating cameras… not spending my years as a clapper loader …focus puller and finally putting my eye to a camera in my 40's. I then landed my first full time job as a cameraman for Man United TV. So a move to Manchester it was. Spent a couple of years working as multi-skilled cameraman, shooting ENG, editing and studio work…not to mention more Live OB's
Then another move to work for a company called SisLink. They had/have the contract for Sky news. So my main job was traveling around the UK as a floating cameraman working from region to region doing all their live shots working alongside a Sat truck engineer, living In hotels and constantly waiting for the pager to go off with my next assignment. After 2 years on the road for Sky another job came my way.
I moved back to London and became a multiskillled studio cameraman working for ITV news, Channel 4 News, Channel 5 News and GMTV OB's This was a great move for me, more money and new skills learned. From swinging Jimmy Jibs for Live TV to pedestal and handheld cameras in the studios. And not to mention the early morning GMTV shifts, traveling around the country at 2am for Live broadcasts – Killer!!! But all great fun and great people to work with.
After 3 years of studio work I was given a great opportunity to work in the Los Angeles Bureau for GMTV as a shoot edit cameraman, covering everything from showbiz to news. Three years of crazy La La Land and then on to New York to cover everything news related from the east coast. Again for GMTV (now Daybreak.) I am Still here in the big apple covering everything from Hurricanes in NY to Tornados in Oklahoma. This job has everything, lots of long hours/days, plenty of traveling shooting and editing to tight deadlines with my Correspondent Lucy Watson. But theres nothing else I would rather do. Its great not knowing what i'm doing from one day to the next. A new adventure everyday with its own challenges, We are a great little team Lucy and I, just getting the job done…and done well.
10 years at ITN and still counting!
Dan Martland Multi-skilled Cameraman Showreel 2013 from dantv on Vimeo.
Chris – What kit do you use?
Dan – Can you believe it…Still DVCam Standard definition!!!! (Sony DSR 450) Still a cracking image for SD but HD for ITV is just around the corner. They are upgrading in the new year to some lovely new Panasonic HD P2 cameras (AJ PX5000). I can't wait.
Some of examples of Dan's work
One World Trade Center 9/11 ITV News from dantv on Vimeo.
Chris – I loved the wipe transition from walking man to interviewee in this piece. How did you do that mate?
Dan – I just do this in FCP7 with a 8 pin garbage matte. I try and do this all the time with either people or yellow taxis. As long as the object fills the frame and starts from either left or right and wipes across the frame. You just go frame by frame on the exit end, and garbage matte it out with keyframes on Video track 2 revealing whatever you want on video track.
Jackie Collins at Home from dantv on Vimeo.
Chris – Was that a steadicam you were using? What sort and why? How do you approach filming celebs? Do they act impatient if you spend too long setting up?
Dan – Well spotted and yes this was done partly on a steadicam. After being in the studio for all those years getting lovely tracking and jib shots Hand held movement just upset me with all the bumps and wiggles. I do love a bit of movement in a shot as it gives it great production value. I was always interested in steadicam so I bought a used older one from ebay for $5K with my own personal money, I just wanted to better myself as an operator and bring another dimension to the shots. I own the steadicam SK2. Its an older model but the arm can hold up to 20lbs which is great with the heavy Sony dsr450.
When it comes to shooting with the celebs, its all about pre planning…as yes you are correct, their time is very precious and you can't mess around and have them waiting for you. We edit the piece in our heads before even shooting a VT. So we can bang out an interview and then get the extra (steadicam fancy shots) afterwards. We use to pick 3 different locations and have a plan to shoot each sort segment on the rig. So in this VT, we shot the interview sat down and pre lit. Then we did all the pick up stuff, like the meet and greet at the door. Then a quick walk in the house and then one by the Pool. All usually in one take so no time for me to mess up too badly. When edited together all mashed up, it looked like we where there all day rather the the whole 1 hour we were really there for. Oh the magic of tv. But again you have to pick your celebs wisely as not everyone would be up for this sort of thing but luckily Miss Collins is lovely
Heres another example of steadicam stuff we did on the quickie: http://vimeo.com/67516161
Plus Size Model V Magazine from dantv on Vimeo.
Chris – Love the edit on this. What system do you use and why? Is that magicbullet looks? Was the multiple boxes a preset plug-in?
Dan – Cheers mate. Yes this was all my own creation really. No preset boxes, all made manually by yours truly. And yes Magic Bullet Looks was used on this. A great powerful tool to quickly get a nice stylized look to your VTs.
I still edit on a macbook pro and use final cut 7. Cant get my head around Final cut x, I think that this was a big mistake by apple. ITV is primary Avid based but I personally choose Apple and its FCP7 software. I'm not a fan of windows and have a bunch of plugins which work great with FCP.
This vt again was pre planned in my head. So I shot what i needed for the boxes, especially the stuff with the model.
Oklahoma Tornado Day 2 from dantv on Vimeo.
Dan – This is what we live for – So much to shoot and so many peoples stories to share. It's amazing how these suffering humans who have lost everything can still be upbeat and positive about life. Everyone helping each other out. Real humanity is a lovely thing to see.
Rocky Road Trip from dantv on Vimeo.
Chris – What was the little camera you were using? How did you do the map graphic? Were you nervous after the woman said "Be careful"?
Dan – Yeah this was a bit of fun actually. Really not my cup of tea being on camera but my mate Nick wanted to do this Rocky road trip as he was obsessed with the movie. He used my Sony Rx100 in movie mode to shoot the footage (mainly of me bitching and moaning)
He edited this on his own and I cleaned it up for him and added the graphic. It was just a case of steeling the map from google and then photoshopping my car on a separate layer, Keyframing it driving down the map. All done in FCP. Map on one V1 and car on v2. Did a digital move on the map and then animated the car with keyframes. Really simple stuff hence it looking so cheap lol. And yes I was nervous when the woman said to be careful. It was a right shit hole with drug dealers on all corners, eyeing up both cameras and my car. We only stayed 5 minutes thank god!

Just need encouragement
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 06-05-2013 - 1:19pm
Hello, I'm not sure if this ist the right place to post this, but I couldn't find a category that really fit my subject. If you know of a better place for me to post it, please let me know.
Anyway, I'm just really needing some encouragement.
My story started in April of 2012, when my then husband came to me out of the blue and said he wanted a divorce. He moved out and never came back. I was shattered. I tried for two months to convince him to come back, suggesting marriage counseling, and he refused. So after two months of trying to convince him and praying hard, I finally gave up and moved on. Our children (ages 7 and 9) and me moved out into a more affordable home, and we got temporary orders naming me as the primary parent and him with visitation rights. Over the months we tried to work out a settlement and even tried mediation with no luck. We couldn't agree because he wanted 50/50 custody in the beginning and I said no way because I have always been the primary caretaker of our children as a stay at home mom.
Four months after he left, I reconnected with a friend from high school and had no idea this would happen, but we fell in love and planned to get married after the divorce was finalized. But he lives 5 hours away, which would mean I would have to take our kids away from their dad. And of course he wasn't going to agree to that. To make a long story short, in the end he actually agreed to move to the city where my fiance lives so that I could get married and he could be close to our kids. Sounds like a great solution, but in order for him to agree to do this, he put in a term that says he has one year to get a job and relocate to the other city, and during that time, the kids stay with him and I get weekend visitation. I agreed to this after much consideration and prayer, and feel like it's better than the alternative of going to court and dragging each other through the mud to try to fight to move my kids with me, especially when there's a chance the judge could order that they need to stay where they are.
So my question is, am I a bad mother to sacrifice time with my children to marry the man I love? My thought has been that it will only be a year, I will have regular visitations with my children, and even aside from my visitation, I plan on coming up for extended visits as much as I can. And I'm thinking my kids' dad may realize he can't handle being a full time parent and suggest that the kids go ahead and move in with me sooner.
I was feeling mostly ok about it, with some worry and stress over the situation obviously, but mostly ok, trusting that God would take care of my children and me, and that although the situation is not ideal, that we would get through it and eventually my kids would be living with me again. But then I went to a friend of mine's house and told her the details and although she didn't come out and say it, she seemed very judgemental, and commented that she couldn't be away from her kids that long and asking me all these questions. I could have just read her wrong, but nevertheless I felt like crap when I left.
Is it ok for me to just make the best of the situation and focus on the positives? Will my kids be ok, or will they feel like I abandoned them? Am I just being judged by someone who has no idea what it's like to be in my shoes? Am I a bad mother?
|Wed, 06-05-2013 - 1:38pm
Are the kids happy and well cared for with their dad? Are the kids okay with this arrangement? Would anyone question you if you were a guy in this situation and made this arrangement? Those are all questions I would ask myself, and if at the end of the day, the kids are okay with the arrangement, they are being cared for by both parents and given as much emotional stability as possibly during the transition, then the details of you and your ex's arrangement are between you two and no one else. I would make sure that the kids understand that its a temporary situation and that you will do what you can to make the transition to the new home after a year as smooth as possible, etc. But in the end, only you and your ex can determine what is best for you and your kids and it sounds like that is what you are doing.
|Wed, 06-05-2013 - 2:05pm
As far as I know, they are cared for by their father. Of course he doesn't do things the way I do, like they have a later bedtime at his house, I don't think they take baths as often and seem to eat a lot of Ramen noodles. He's not involved with them at school like I am, and doesn't even know how to properly prepare for a campout. And half of his visitation time with them this month after school gets out, he's sending them to his mother's. I know these are minor things, but he's just over all not as involved of a parent as I am. One thing that really bothers me is this fall, if he hasn't found a job and relocated, my kids, instead being picked up by me from school every day and coming home and relaxing and having family time like they're used to, they'll be in an after school program.
And I'm worried most about my daughter. She's 7 and we adopted her 3 years ago from China, so she already has abandonment issues and is still learning about concepts of time, and it's hard for me to explain how long it will be until the next time I see her. I just don't want her to think that I've abandoned her. And I don't want either of them to suffer because of a decision I've made that maybe I should have made differently.
I think you brought up a good point that most people wouldn't judge me if I were a guy with this custody arrangement. Thank you for your encouragement.
|Thu, 06-06-2013 - 9:51pm
Did you get legal advice before you agreed to this? I bet not. I'm a divorce lawyer and I can see some bad outcomes for you, such as your exH not really lookikng for a job in the new place, then saying he can't get a job and then when the year is past and you want the kids back, he'll say no, well they are with me now, they are fine, so why should you get them back cause you left? I hope it doesn't work out that way but I just know a lot of people end up getting a bad outcome because they didn't get good legal advice and didn't want to go to court.
I don't think you're a bad mother and I think you were just trying to make the best of the situation. It's true that it's risky--depending on your state laws, it could be difficult to move. I live in MA so from one end of the state to another it's probably maximum of 3 hours. Someone could move anywhere in the state w/o court permission but they would have to get court permission to move out of state. It might be difficult to move if the only reason was to be with a new guy who you have been with for less than a year and who knows if it will even work out? The courts will usually let someone move with the kids for reasons like they can't find a job where they are or they have a lot of family out of state.
I think whatever the outcome the really important thing is that the kids spend time with both parents--it doesn't matter if it's 50-50 but they need to have a relationship with both parents and they also need parents who get along well enough so they aren't always fighting over the kids and can at least be civil and do things in the best interests of the kids. I think it will be a pretty big change to go from having a SAHM who is there a lot to a mom who is going to be there only on weekends--is it even realistic to think that you are going to drive 5 hours to see them EVERY weekend? I don't think the fact that they eat Ramen or have to be in an after school program is going to scar them for life.

|Dr. Dylan Chmura Moore
EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire music and theatre arts department will present a guest artist recital featuring Dr. Dylan Chmura-Moore, trombone, at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10 in Phillips Recital Hall of the Haas Fine Arts Center.
Chmura-Moore's recital will feature the U.S. premiere of Neal Farwell's "Rouse," which will introduce the eMute, eMouth and uSlide; the U.S. premiere of the award-winning "BaKaTaKaBaKa" by Daniel Moreira; and the world premiere of a new arrangement of Frederic Rzewski's "Last Judgment."
Chmura-Moore, assistant professor of music at UW Oshkosh, is a performer and advocate of contemporary music and has had a voice in the premieres of numerous compositions. He frequently performs in collaboration with dancers, painters and performance artists and seeks to exploit new technology in performance.
He holds a bachelor of music degree from Baldwin-Wallace College Conservatory of Music; two master of music degrees — one in trombone and the other in conducting — from the New England Conservatory of Music; and a doctor of musical arts degree from UW-Madison.

Each year new crops of wide-eyed 1Ls listen to law professors opine that they must learn how to "think like a lawyer." Yet, as the New York Time's David Segal pointed out in a recent article entitled "What They Don't Teach Law Students: Lawyering," the law-school curriculum has, for more than a century now, "emphasized the theoretical over the useful." But to quote the great Bob Dylan, "The times they are a-changin.'"
According to an article in the Wall Street Journal (here), many of the nation's top law schools "are throwing out decades of tradition by replacing textbook courses" with courses like Indiana Law's "course of so-called emotional intelligence," Harvard Law's new "problem-solving class for first-year students," and Stanford's "full-time clinical course" in which students must complete "several 40-hour plus weeks of actual case work" to graduate.
Professor Sarah Ricks of the Rutgers School of Law was nice enough to send me a courtesy copy of her new casebook, which she coauthored with Professor Evelyn Tenenbaum of Albany Law School, entitled Current Issues in Constitutional Litigation: A Context and Practice Casebook (Carolina Academic Press 2011). As the title suggests, this casebook is designed to help students think about the law from the perspective of a practicing lawyer. Like many of the great casebooks on the subject that have come before it, Issues in Constitutional Litigation covers the landmark Supreme Court cases with intelligent commentary and thoughtful organization. Unlike many of the great casebooks on the subject that have come before it, the book also focuses on federal circuit decisions, with a particular emphasis on both established and emerging circuit splits. Each chapter also strives to capture the human element of practicing law--something that legal opinions frequently fail to convey. Students will read letters from inmates, review historical documents like the 1867 cover of Harper's Weekly depicting black men casting their "first vote," receive practice pointers from seasoned veterans, and receive exposure to a host of other "real-world" issues that help bring the cases to life.
To be clear, Issues in Constitutional Litigations does not trash the traditional casebook model. The important cases are all still there. Instead, the book improves upon the old casebook model in two important ways. First, it places each case in a broader context that helps explain the doctrinal developments that might otherwise feel counterintuitive or arbitrary to students who limit their study of the subject to the four corners of the opinions.
Second, the book emphasizes the advocate's role in shaping the development of constitutional law. This is a critical component of thinking like a lawyer; and one that the casebook/Socratic method tends to neglect. The biggest criticism I have heard from seasoned attorneys about their freshly minted colleagues--which I largely attribute to the casebook/Soctratic method of teaching--is that law students graduate with the impression that they are supposed to analyze and apply the law in a disinterested, neutral manner as they might in the classroom when called on by their professor to recite the previous night's reading assignment. Issues in Constitutional Litigation does an excellent job illustrating the relationship that attorneys have with the court and their client, as well as the active role attorneys play in shaping the law through zealous advocacy for their client's interests. In other words, the book focuses the reader's attention on the process through which constitutional law is made, not solely on the finished product of that process.
The book, Professor Ricks explains, accomplishes this by "plac[ing] students in roles as practitioners handling simulated law practice problems" and provides a more engaging learning experience through the use of "exercises, visual aids, and questions to guide student reading." The book also "includes materials that help students reflect on their professional roles." You can purchase Current Issues in Constitutional Litigation online here. Tomorrow's post will feature an excerpt from the book that you won't want to miss.

Phl senator files bill on human rights
The senator explained that the Optional Protocol can help create an enabling law, as well as fortify the existing laws that address various economic, social, and cultural rights.
"The Optional Protocol can guide the government in realigning the national budget to progressively realize the rights to education, health, employment, food security, balanced ecology, etc., in dire need of investment to spur sustainable economic and human development progress, that shall, consequently, uphold and protect the value of each person's life and dignity -not only for those living today, but also for the generations to come," Guingona said.
The Philippine government is one of the 184 member States of the United Nations that ratified the ICESCR on June 7, 1974.
The ICESCR not only identifies a range of economic, social, and cultural rights, but it also requires all peoples to enjoy these rights without discrimination, such as the right to work and to have just favorable conditions of work, social security, protection of the family, adequate standards of living, education, benefits to scientific progress and culture.
"The Optional Protocol makes a strong and unequivocal statement about the equal value and importance of all human rights and the need to strengthen the legal protection of economic, social, and cultural rights," he added.
The UN Human Development Report 2013 ranked the Philippines 144 out of 186 countries in the Human Development Index, and emphasized the need for "pro-poor policies and significant investments in people's capabilities -through a focus on education, nutrition and health, and employment skills" so as to "expand access to decent work and provide for sustained progress."
"The Optional Protocol will ultimately support President Benigno Aquino III's 'Straight Path' policy as the more effective alignment of the national budget shall make every Filipino's welfare a top priority and eliminate channels that lead to corruption and improper use of the people's money, as in the alleged P10-billion pork barrel scam," Guingona said.

Having spent several years in the ICT industry, I can't remember a time when there's been more excitement, possibility and change than there is right now. In the last year or so we've seen:
- The exponential growth of smartphones and tablets forcing IT Directors to introduce Bring-Your-Own-Device policies into their companies (and conveniently saving themselves capital expenditure).
- The transition of "the cloud" from a niche way of delivering services to something that, according to Forbes (2012), almost three-quarters of companies are now using or trialling. This is then fuelling a massive growth in flexible working, data centre virtualisation and centralised applications.
- Technology companies like Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook battling it out over virtual territories, and in some cases accrue cash reserves greater than most countries.
And all this is set against a macroeconomic background of growth/dip depending on where you are and which forecast you read. No wonder it seems that the only thing that's certain is uncertainty.
As an ICT professional you have a choice about how you deal with this uncertainty; you can choose to be passive, bobbing around like a cork on the ocean, or you can take some control of your own environment.
Whether you're in the public or private sector you can choose whether you embrace trends like BYOD, real-time video, VoIP and flexible working. You can assess whether your current infrastructure is still suitable and, if not, you can invest in one that provides greater flexibility, enabling you to compete or provide services more effectively and efficiently.
The launch of a new series of intelligent network solutions makes things easier for you. BT's new global network portfolio, BT Connect, has been re-designed for an uncertain world, and contains a number of innovations that can help organisations to prosper.
Computing magazine ran a forum recently for IT leaders to discuss the issues I've raised here, and we held a roundtable discussion in conjunction with Ovum. Both events provided more insight into how people and organisations can take control and advantage of the uncertainty that now seems to be part of our DNA.
To prevent you being a cork in the ocean I urge you to keep up-to-date with these discussions by leaving a comment below. And for more information about BT Connect click here.

Maru, which means "the top of the mountain" in Korean, now occupies the space that was formerly a Romanian restaurant. This family owned restaurant offers all the popular dishes such as beef bulgogi, bibimbap, kimchi, paejon seafood pancake, among other specialities.
One of my favourites is the spicy tofu ragout soup (sundubu jjigae) with seafood, beef or chicken, served with an egg on top, much like bibimbap. I also really like mandu-guk, which resembles wonton soup with home made dumplings (beef, pork or vegetable).
If soup's not your thing, I highly recommend the royal bibimbap made with raw ground beef that cooks by mixing it up in the steaming pot in which it's served. Or have one of the Korean BBQ items such as galbi beef ribs, or jeyuk bokeum pork stir fry with sweet spicy sauce.
There are also daily specials not on the menu, and when I was there, these were black cod stew, fried pork or fish, soondae stew made with pork intestines and potato noodles, and salmon hwaedupbap tartare with vegetables, flying fish roe and spicy sauce. Besides the specials, most dishes can be made vegetarian and are served with the ubiquitous kimchi and other traditional fermented vegetables.
Maru is also fully licensed and offers a wine list featuring sake, soju and Japanese beer. And unlike some Korean establishments, they even have an espresso machine and serve and desserts including pumpking porridge, green tea and mochi ice cream, fried and wonton pineapple, and even a highly recommended homemade plain yogourt with honey and bee pollen.
