Judge: Indiana hasn't given valid reason for ban

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A federal judge has said that attorneys defending Indiana's gay marriage ban haven't given a valid reason why the state should not recognize the out-of-state marriage of a lesbian couple, one of whom has a terminal illness.
U.S. District Judge Richard Young's written order, issued Friday, outlined the rationale behind his decision earlier this month to grant Niki Quasney and Amy Sandler a temporary restraining order that bars the state from enforcing its gay marriage ban against their union.
The federal order applied only to Quasney and Sandler, even though they were part of a larger lawsuit involving several gay couples. Indiana does not recognize same-sex marriages performed inside or outside of the state.
The Munster couple had asked Indiana to recognize their marriage, which took place in Massachusetts, one of 17 states where gay marriage is legal. Quasney and Sandler have been together 13 years and they have two daughters, ages 1 and 2, conceived through "reproductive technology" and birthed by Sandler, according to court records.
Quasney has stage 4 ovarian cancer, and the couple had argued that the court should grant their request because "they have an urgent need to have their marriage recognized." Young ordered the state on April 10 to recognize their marriage on Quasney's death certificate when it is issued. Quasney is still alive.
In the 11-page order issued Friday, Young said he granted the request partly because the couple is likely to succeed in having Indiana's gay marriage ban declared unconstitutional. He also said that Quasney's terminal illness required urgent action.
"The Equal Protection Clause requires states to treat people equally under the law," wrote Young, who was appointed in 1998 by then-President Bill Clinton. "If the state wishes to differentiate between people and make them unequal, then it must have at least a legitimate purpose."
He also said his decision was due in part to a wave of similar rulings in other states, including two that dealt with terminally ill partners.
Paul Castillo, a staff attorney for Lambda Legal, the national gay rights group that represented Quasney and Sandler, agreed Young's written order was consistent with other court decisions across the county.
"We are certainly optimistic as we move forward," Castillo said.
Attorneys are due to present arguments May 2 over the couple's request for a preliminary injunction that would permanently bar Indiana from enforcing its gay marriage ban against their union, Castillo said.
The attorney general's office said in a statement Monday that it would continue to defend Indiana's gay marriage ban at the next stage in court.
"County clerks are still prohibited by law from issuing marriage licenses to other same-sex couples," spokesman Bryan Corbin said.
Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher argued at the April 10 hearing in Evansville that the state has an interest in limiting marriage to couples who can have children. But Young noted in the order that the state routinely recognizes the marriages of couples who are too old to reproduce, and gay couples can form families in other ways.
He also wrote that the state's decision to not recognize gay marriages performed out of state didn't hold up because Indiana recognizes other marriages that take place outside of the state and violate Indiana laws, such as marriages between first cousins.

On a well prepped track with the right amount of heat, the rears at 22 pounds, the front at 45 pounds you'll have a window of maybe 200 RPMs between great launch, too much spin or bog from too much bite. It is a small window.
Rear Camber is good to go at ZERO
Rear Toe should be in .10
Front toe should be in .10 per side
You'll have the least rolling resistance when the front camber is maxed out negative
The LSA will pull timing when hot so keep the hood open and bring the ice bags.
The clutch seems to be able to go all day long.
But what would I know about a ZL1 at the strip

Beauty may be pain, but fashion can also be impractical, and the epitome of this idea is communicated in this Mohawk Headdress by Vivian Chiu. Not necessarily designed to be worn, the unusual project was executed as an exploration of materials.
The peculiar headpiece is made from bending and twisting thin bands of wooden veneers back against themselves. The result reveals graceful curves and splendid convergences of the malleable medium that looks to model something similar to a ribcage. In shaping a cavity roughly the size of one's head, the artistic indigenous-inspired object can be easily worn. One may not, however, chose to don this disguise, as the Mohawk Headdress by Vivian Chiu does an equally good job of concealing the world from the wearer.

Richard Bell
13 February - 27 April 2014
West End Gallery
Opening Wednesday 12 February, 6 - 9pm.PICA is open until 7pm during the Festival (last entry for William Kentridge at 6pm)
For over twenty years artist and provocateur Richard Bell, has challenged the state of art and politics in Australia. Embassy is Richard Bell's first solo exhibition in Western Australia and will feature a recreation of the original Aboriginal Tent Embassy, the protest camp set up on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra. This significant solo exhibition by the Queensland artist will also bring together a selection of Bell's highly acclaimed paintings and a trilogy of recent and controversial videos.
Embassy represents the culmination of Richard Bell's Imagining Victory project, a multi-layered body of work that the artist has been developing over a significant period of his artistic career. The project is Bell's attempt to imagine a future in which Aboriginal people are true equals in society and are the potential leaders of that society. The Tent Embassy was originally set up to challenge the government and pressure it to take action in relation to the human and land rights of the Aboriginal people in Australia. Bell's Tent Embassy will create a public space for the retelling of stories of oppression and displacement.
Embassy is a Perth International Arts Festival event, supported by Perth International Arts Festival Visual Arts program partner Wesfarmers Arts. Richard Bell is represented by Milani Gallery, Brisbane.

UPDATE #3: The Broadway League has reversed its decision and will now honor Rivers after all. In a statement, St. Martin said, "Joan Rivers loved Broadway and we loved her. Due to the outpouring of love and respect for Joan Rivers from our community and from her friends and fans worldwide, the marquees of Broadway theatres in New York will be dimmed in her memory tonight, at exactly 6:45 pm for one minute."
A decision by the Broadway League not to honor Joan Rivers with the traditional posthumous tribute afforded to deceased stage celebrities has the theater community up in arms on Twitter.
In an interview with The New York Times, executive director Charlotte St. Martin explained the League's decision not to honor Rivers with the tradition of dimming the lights on Broadway theater marquees. It's an honor bestowed on Broadway icons typically within the week following their death, yet Rivers—a Tony Award nominee, playwright, frequent opening night guest, and vehement vocal supporter of Broadway—apparently doesn't qualify.
"Under our criteria people need to have been very active recently in the theater, or else be synonymous with Broadway — people who made their careers here, or kept it up," St. Martin told the Times. "We love Joan – she was very supportive of Broadway and came to a lot of show openings – but she hasn't acted on Broadway in 20 years… When you say Joan Rivers, you don't think comedy, television and Broadway. You think comedy and television. It's certainly nothing against her." READ FULL STORY

In 1989, a jury found Brent Brents, then 18, guilty of raping two children. He spent the next 15 years in jail, and when he got out in July 2004, he went on a terrifying rampage, raping and assaulting dozens of men, women and children until his capture in February 2005.
He mainly victimized prostitutes, but he went after other targets as well, including a woman alone in her apartment in Denver and a grandmother and her twin grandchildren in a house next to Denver's Cheesman Park. After police captured him, Brents guessed that he had raped about 60 men, women and children during the seven months he was out of prison. Judges from various jurisdictions sentenced him to a total of 1,509 years in prison — and that was only for crimes committed against 12 victims.
After his capture, local media scrambled to get angles, fighting each other for interviews with Brents, his family and his victims. But for reasons unknown, Brents chose only one journalist with whom to share his story: (now former) Denver Post reporter Amy Herdy.
Herdy tells her side of her strange, unsettling relationship with the serial rapist in her book, Diary of a Predator. It's a true crime retelling of Brents' story, but it's also what Herdy calls a "dual memoir." It's both the story of Brents' horrific childhood as well as an intensely personal, revealing look at Herdy's role as the journalist telling his story, and the effect it wrought on her and her family. She describes the book in the prologue as "the tale of two predators — one a criminal, the other a journalist."
~ ~ ~
Shortly after Brents got out of jail, he started dating a woman who had an 8-year-old son. Something about him didn't sit right with the woman's family, though, and they soon discovered Brents was a convicted pedophile. The woman asked her son if Brents had ever molested him. To her horror, the boy said yes. She told Aurora police, who asked Brents to come in for an interview on Nov. 23, 2004. To the surprise of the police, he did, and he told an Aurora detective that yes, he did molest the boy.
But in what can only be described as an act of incompetence, police didn't arrest Brents, but sent him on his way to roam freely about Denver. It wasn't until Jan. 26, 2005, that police issued a warrant.
Herdy enters the story here. After Aurora police announced the warrant, she was one of five Post reporters whose job it was to cold-call Brents' possible family members in Fort Smith, Ark., and beg for a comment.
She wasn't successful, nor were her colleagues. But the Post's competitor, the now-dead Rocky Mountain News, was.
"If we want to get these people to talk to us, we're not going to get them from a newsroom in Denver," she told her editor. "Someone needs to show up on their doorstep in Fort Smith."
Of course, Herdy's editors chose her for the job, and she ended up scoring an interview with Brents' mother and sister. By the time she returned to Colorado, Brents had been caught.
Herdy's assignment shifted: interview Brents. She sent him a handwritten letter asking for an interview, and she mentioned she had spoken with his family.
He called her a few days later, and he said the only reason he did so was that she had spoken with his mother and sister. Then he asked her a key question, a question that built the foundation for the their future correspondence.
"Everybody says they hate me, that I'm a monster," he asked Herdy. "Do you think so?" "I think you've done monstrous things, but I don't consider you a monster," Herdy replied. "It's not my place to judge anybody."
~ ~ ~
From then on out, Herdy had exclusive access to Brents.
"To me, he was just another subject, to be afforded the same considerations as everybody else," Herdy says in a coffee shop in Louisville. "I treated him the same that I did every other interview."
By the time she started working on the Brents story, Herdy had already established herself as a top crime reporter. She and Post reporter Miles Moffeit were Pulitzer finalists for a 2003 series called "Betrayal in the Ranks," an in- depth look at how few sexual assaults in the military ever get prosecuted. She had written the piece entirely from the perspective of the victims, and to her, Brents represented a chance to come full circle: write about sexual assaults from the side of the perpetrator, not the victim.
Brents opened up to Herdy completely, allowing her to pick his brain and sending her letter after revealing letter, detailing his attacks as well as a childhood filled with being sexually abused.
His letters, many of which Herdy prints in full in the book, are meticulously detailed and make for tough reads.
"He writes in a narrative fashion, which is very unusual," she says. "He has a penchant for detail, which you could argue is because he's a psychopath."
As Herdy plunged deeper, Brents began to adopt a more and more familiar tone, calling her pet names like "Rockstar" and ending his letters with "Ly" — an acronym for "love you." He began talking about their "friendship."
"He was focusing in on me with his laser-like predator vision, noticing every detail," Herdy says. "He once [told me], 'I enjoy the clean smell of your letters.'"
She was disgusted, but she pressed on. She didn't know why, at first.
"This was a case that caused me tons of personal conflict," Herdy says. "My husband asked me to walk away, but I wouldn't. Do you know how hard that is on a marriage?"
Fortunately, Herdy says, her marriage emerged stronger from the experience.
In her book, Herdy goes into deep detail about why Brents' story was so compelling for her. Talking to Brents, as it turns out, flushed out some of Herdy's emotional trauma from her own childhood involving her parents and her brother. She began to see parallels between her situation and Brents'.
The more she corresponded with him, the more she began to feel an unwelcome sentiment: empathy. Try as she might, she couldn't hate him, which puzzled her and eventually alienated her from the Post newsroom. She insisted that her editors treat Brents with rights afforded to others: privacy, confidentiality, off-the-record sanctity. After an editor opened a letter from him without her permission, she set up a P.O. box and told Brents to send her letters there.
"The irony wasn't lost on me: I was protecting a serial rapist from my editors," Herdy writes. "I just didn't trust them anymore."
~ ~ ~
Reading the book, one comes away with an understanding of what made Brent Brents, the smiling, bright-eyed first grader, into Brent Brents, serial rapist and pedophile. This is probably by design, since in the first pages of the book, Herdy includes a description of Brents assaulting a child, followed immediately by one of Brents' journal entries in which he describes how he was raped by both his parents starting at the age of 4.
Brents claims that he is sorry for his crimes. And it's not like he has anything to gain by saying so — he'll be in jail for the rest of his life regardless. It was logistically impossible to reach Brents by deadline for this story, but Herdy offered to help. She suspected Brents might call her before Boulder Weekly's deadline, and she offered to take some questions to Brents and relay Brent's answers back to Boulder Weekly. Though a departure from traditional journalism, BW took Herdy up on her offer. These are the answers Herdy says Brents gave her, edited for punctuation and style:
Boulder Weekly: Are you a victim?
Brent Brents: No. At one point I was but not anymore. I stopped being a victim a long time ago. I made the choices to do what I did. There's nobody to blame but me.
BW: Would your life be different if you had a different upbringing?
BB: Had I had more normal parents I probably would be different.
BW: Do you still feel the need to be sexually violent?
BB: The thoughts have crossed my mind. I struggle. I hate myself for having them, and the medication takes the physical part away.
BW: Why Amy?
BB: [He starts out answering directly to Herdy.] You weren't trying to fuck me over or manipulate me or pay me. I felt like I could trust her the most. I believed in her. What can I say — it's destiny.
BW: Are you remorseful?
BB: Yeah, you know I think for a while I was self-centered and cry baby about it. But as time goes on, and the more I learn about friendship, I'm starting to fill up with remorse for what I did.
You never forget those people you hurt.
~ ~ ~
It's a dilemma anyone who has ever dealt with a pathological liar in their life is intimately familiar with: How do you know if said liar is telling the truth? Promises of redemption, of remorse, are easily spoken, but you can't help but wonder: How would I know if they are telling the truth? Herdy thinks Brents is genuinely remorseful, though she thinks he wasn't always that way.
Another woman who corresponds with him, "Ellen," also thinks he is genuinely remorseful. Ellen began writing Brents after her daughter died in a drunk driving crash. A devout Catholic, she felt spiritually empty after her daughter's funeral. Inspired by Mother Teresa's diaries, she believed that if she prayed for someone who had no one else to pray for him or her, she might regain some meaning in her life. God pointed her to Brents, she believes, and she eventually began praying for him and writing him. To her surprise, he wrote back, and they have been corresponding ever since. She writes, "he became a brother to me — a very good brother."
"Brent is a different person than who he was eight years ago," she writes in an email. She continues, "On a positive note, and this is very much a personal thought of my own without any proof whatsoever, I believe Brent has proved something. People can change. A person incapable of love can learn to love … a person incapable of compassion can learn to feel compassion. This does not mean that Brent is capable of living in society; he is not. But Brent does have redeeming value as a person and as a child of God."
~ ~ ~
The response to the book so far has been overwhelmingly positive, Herdy says. She tells the story of a neighbor she didn't know very well who came up to her and threw her arms around her, thanking her. Readers write her and thank her for delving so deeply into the "why" aspect of Brent Brents. A film director, Kevin Lewis, contacted her about turning Diary of a Predator into a movie, and Herdy recently finished the first draft of the screenplay.
Lewis says he was intrigued by the portrayal of Brents. People have a tendency to see the world in black and white, he says, but the beauty is in the grey.
"There's never been a movie about a rapist. When I talk to people about a serial rapist, people kind of cringe. It's funny, people seem to see a serial rapist differently than they see a serial killer," Lewis says.
"I'm really excited to get going with it and work on it. I really think that people need to know about the story, and I think it might give them a different perspective. We always vilify these people, and at the end it's not just black and white. There's a lot going on that we just discount."
~ ~ ~
The experience of writing a book, of exposing one's self to horrifying stories of rape and sexual torture, begs some questions: Why? How could anything positive come from the story of Brent Brents?
Herdy's somewhat baffling response is that the experience of knowing a serial rapist has been a positive one for her. She doesn't consider Brents a friend, per se, but she says she has at times acted like a friend to him, and him to her.
"Someone like him is supposed to mess up your life, crush anyone that comes into his path," Herdy says. "Surprisingly, knowing him changed my life for the better.
"[Before I met him] I was in a really cynical place in my career, and it awakened some compassion and empathy in me that I had feared was dead. … Once you start treating yourself with compassion, it spills out into the rest of the world."
Editor's note: David Accomazzo took a reporting class from Amy Herdy when he was a student at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Clarification: A previous version of this article stated that Brents estimated he had raped 60 men, women and children in his lifetime. In fact, he guessed he raped 60 people during the seven months he was out of jail. During his lifetime, he guessed the total was in the hundreds.
Amy Herdy will discuss Diary of a Predator at the Boulder Book Store on Tuesday, Jan. 17. Starts at 7:30 p.m. 1107 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-447-2074.
I agree with wat u are saying just wanted to know what made him do the things that he did ,he did say he was molested when he was younger but that does not justify what he did.I believe that God has put him in jail to make him suffer as he did to all his victimss.I'm sorry if offended u.
Brent is my cousin. My Mothers brother raped my sister! She was only 7! Brent was raised to be this way. I never met my cousin. I met my so called Uncle at a family reunion in Oklahoma I was aware of what he did to his own son, daughter and my sister. He begged for forgiveness from my Mother..she could not forgive. It was sick what he did to my Sister. There is no excuse for what my cousin did and deserves to be punished. I am only verifying his abuse. My heart goes out to all the VICTIMS including my cousin.

After reading the reviews for this coffee I decided to try it myself. I was disappointed as I didn't find anything special about it. It was priced higher than other coffees I like better but was just very average. No real stand out hints of flavor before or after brewing.

have in relation to progesterone. An imbalance can occur when the ovaries are producing too much oestrogen, or not enough progesterone to counteract it."
Other symptoms of oestrogen dominance include swollen breasts, headaches, carb cravings, heavy periods and irritability.
"Progesterone levels decrease over time," says Dr Galy. "Usually, this begins in a woman's early thirties, with some noticing symptoms, such as weight gain, immediately, because only a slight drop in progesterone is enough to exacerbate an existing mild imbalance."
The most important step to correcting a hormone imbalance is to tailor your diet to your cycle. "Modify your sugar intake by eating a Low GI (Glycaemic Index) menu," urges Dr Galy. "When you take in sugars, the body produces insulin, causing the ovaries to secrete more oestrogen. So: less sugar, less insulin, less oestrogen."
"In the second two weeks when hormone levels are rising, avoid food containing phytoestrogens," says Dr Galy. The main culprits are soy (avoid soy milk and tofu), and soy-based, processed products (processed foods tend to have a high GI anyway).
So what can you eat? "Fill your diet with green vegetables, like kale, broccoli and cauliflower, which help metabolise excess oestrogen. Green tea is also effective," adds Dr Galy.
The good news: hormones can help burn fat, too. "A low-carb diet will decrease the activity of the alpha receptors, increasing effectiveness of the fat-burning beta receptors," says Dr Teta. "Supplements, such as green-coffee extract, promote fat burning in more stubborn areas."
Fundamentally, without hormones you wouldn't have any kind of womanly shape. But, if your bottom has become a bigger issue than you would like, understanding your hormones can help put you in control of your curves.
"The most important step to CORRECTING a hormone IMBALANCE: TAILOR your DIET to your CYCLE "

Women with sagging triceps may be suffering from a lack of relative testosterone. As well as weight training, boost your healthy-fat intake by eating oily fish and avocado.
Rounded stomach:
As cortisol rises and progesterone falls, women develop fat storage at the waist. Decreasing stress by engaging in cortisol-lowering exercise, like yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation can help, as will short, high-intensity cardio.

Insulin is particularly instrumental in causing puffiness and water retention. Avoid refined sugars and processed foods; opt for a diet packed with wholegrains and fresh fruit and vegetables.

I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio and haven't seen one hummingbird. So disappointing. In previous years, there were many visiting my feeders by mid-June. Is it possible that the bizarre spring weather and/or the situation in the Gulf could be responsible for the lack of hummers? |

You can check out this map I've made (of Cheap Eats for all of LA): https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?... But, as I say, this is for "cheap eats" for the most part, and not for sit-down restaurant dishes. |
1.) Milanesa Cemita Sandwich (ask for papalo on it if they have it). A freshly fried milanesa beef on crusty cemita bread with chipotle, avocado, and Oaxacan cheese and, when available, this really bizarrely pungent herb called papalo. This sandwich is super flavorful and it is, for me, the best Mexican sandwich around! @ the Cemita Truck in front of the Smart & Final at 10113 Venice Blvd (just west of Clarington) [they are generally open Monday-Saturday from the morning until about 2pm in the afternoon) 2.)

Any Mexican restaurants that serve Goat? (Glendale/Burbank) There's Birrieria de Don Boni in Boyle Heights, which is not that far from Glendale/Burbank. All they serve is goat! And the place is packed. The broth they serve it with has a very deep, rich flavor... It's the "Number 1" place referred to in this article (although not by name): |
Koreatown, Little Armenia and Thai Town most interesting restaurants? People don't talk about it much (probably 'cause it's a little out of the way), but the falafel at Elena's Greek-Armenian Cuisine in Glendale are hands-down the best I've had! |
Lunch Prix Fixe & Early Bird Menus... What are the best Lunch Prix Fixe Menus and/or Early Bird Menus you guys can recommend? With regards to lunch prix fixe, I know about db Bistro Moderne (and have had it before--it was great), J&G Grill, and Zuma. With regards to early birds, I know about Catfish Dewey's. While I will be centered in Hollywood, the location can range from Miami to Boca Raton. Can you guys think of any other ones? Thanks for your help! |
Cheap Eats Food Tour--What Am I Missing? So my brother and I (who actually grew up in Florida, but have rarely made it back in the last 15-20 years) are gonna be in Hollywood for 2 weeks. We love trying all sorts of Cheap Eats, preferably really unique or distinctive items, but also just the best of a given genre (e.g., pizza, subs). I went through all of the assorted posts on this board and below is the list I've accumulated (while it's centered in Hollywood, it can extend all the way down to Miami or all the way up to, say, Boca). Please tell me if you think I'm missing something or if you have an opinion on a place I already have. I don't have an exact definition for Cheap Eats but it's generally gonna be less than $10; also, generally, it's not gonna be a sit-down place but it can be. Thanks for your help!

Lebanese Kebab Recommendations in LA? Carousel Restaurant in either Glendale or Hollywood (the one is Glendale is much nicer; but the food at the Hollywood one is very good even though the place itself is nothing to look at). Get it with the yogurt sauce... |
I have bought them at Whole Foods and Bristol Farms in the past. |
Overall, the changes are fine. BUT, the huge downside of the font being so big is that now, you can't see many topics at once. I used to pretty much be able to see all the topics on a board at an instant. Now, I have to scroll to see all the different topics. It just feels like it is really ZOOMED IN!!! All the changes would be fine if you just make the font a dash smaller... |
It's-It now in grocery stores! Yeah, they've had It's-Its at Ralphs for more than a year now... |
I recommend you attack one section of this map I made. It is almost entirely cheap eats-type places where you don't need to sit down and where pretty much everything is around $5 to $10. And here are the results of going to these places: |

Orange County Cheap Eats Food Tour--The Aftermath... So, thank you to everybody that gave suggestions for the OC Cheap Eats Food Tour. We just completed it yesterday. Unlike the LA Food Tour, which was 3 days (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/848063), we only had 1 day for this one. From 10:30am until about 6pm, we had 4 people, and then 2 people had to leave, so my brother and I finished the rest of the tour of on our own (going to about midnight). Overall, we hit 24 different places!! The favorites were definitely the Banh Mi at Banh Mi Cho Chu and the chocolate cake shake at Portillos. Without a doubt, a lot of the unique Vietnamese dishes were a lot of fun to try but were just missing something to make them really great (and, FYI, 2 of the people on the food tour were Asian-American and everyone, including them, was in basic agreement on most of the scores). The dessert drink at Thach Che Hien Khanh was definitely fun and unique with its combo of coconut milk and all sorts of weird, funky textures and beans and stuff. I didn't really get the Marble Taro bread at 85C (it was just too floury and bland and starchy) while some of the other breads there, which had more butter and eggs in 'em, were pretty good. And, yes, I am embarrassed to say that my family does like crappy fast food too so we checked out the Doritos Locos taco (which none of us had tried before) and also made a stop at Sonic for shakes (kind of a tradition we have on food tours). There were also places we would have tried but they were closed on Sunday or they were just too far out of the way to make it worth going to with our limited time. Also, a big shout out to Sanjeev Gupta, the owner of Traditions, the Indian restaurant in Tustin. He was a super nice dude and their flatbread that we tried was really unique and tasty. At the end of the night, someone told us about M&M donuts in Anaheim, which we had not heard of. So, we went to check out their famous warm blueberry donuts (and the place is only open from 11pm until about noon--yes, that's right). The place is insane. We stood in line for 25 minutes and it literally did not move. Literally no one got served. And then it started to move slowly. After another 15 minutes or so, we got our blueberry donuts. While similar to Krispy Kreme in that they were glazed and warm, these were cake donuts rather than yeast-raised donuts and had a really crispy, crusty exterior which were good. The donuts were good, but the place is insane in that they can't increase the capacity (there are only 2 people in the shop and they are this busy every night, which would probably lead a normal business person to add another worker or something). So, can I advocate you go? No. But the donuts were good. With regards to the scores, they are just based on taste and how much the dish was enjoyed and whether you'd wanna eat it again. Atmosphere, authenticity, presentation and things like that were not taken into account.

Orange County Cheap Eats Food Tour--need suggestions and advice... So, my brothers and I love going on food tours, where we literally hit 20-25 places a day, just sampling the best item at an individual place. Generally, these places are not sit-down type places (although they can be). And most of the stuff is relatively cheap. What we are not really looking for is expensive dishes at fancy places. Here is a link to the one we did in Los Angeles County so you can see we're not joking around!! One of my brothers is gonna be staying in Orange County for work so we are going to do an Orange County Cheap Eats Food Tour. I've already done a great deal of research (largely from looking at OC Weekly's 100 best dishes for the past few years as well as looking at other Chowhound posts). Please tell me if you have any more suggestions for other places in Orange County. And, also, it really helps if you have a specific item to get at a given place. Please feel free to give opinions on the list I have already created (e.g., if there is a place on there that we don't need to stop at).

Loved the food at Hatfields, BUT.... uhhh... yeah. With all due respect, susiequeue, based on your description, it sounds like you are the one "in the wrong" to be upset about most of this stuff. It's pretty darn standard for the server to say "these are compliments of the chef" when they bring out the amuse bouches. In fact, pretty much every time I've been served amuse bouches, that is what they say. On what basis would that be insulting? With regards to the dessert selections, one reason you go out to upscale places is to try something different. I'm not saying whether that dish would be good, and trust me, in general I like old-fashioned desserts (e.g., a good ol' hot fudge sundae) more than esoteric restaurant desserts but the attitude with which you describe the desserts makes you seem a little... sheltered or something. If you went to Denny's and they had that, then yeah, that would be weird. But at an upscale restaurant, you can't be surprised by the fact that the pastry chef is trying something different. Once again, it might not be good, but your disgust at it seems to make you seem provincial (and, sometimes you can be surprised--I just ate at Del Posto in New York where I got a dessert with celery sorbet, figs, and goat cheese, and it actually was totally delicious!!) I'll grant you the one about the salmon. If you asked him to describe the dish, then, yes, he should explain how it is prepared rather than actually describing the fish itself (unless it is a more unknown fish). But once again, you could just say, "no, I meant describe the dish itself, not the salmon," laugh it off, and move on, rather than feel personally slighted... |
Traveling between West L.A. and Anaheim Sat/Sun, need recs for quick, great eats on the way to/fro! And make sure to get a chocolate cake shake! |
LA Cheap Eats Food Tour--The Aftermath... Yeah, Porto's was no fluke. Now, it should be noted, that while in the past I have had plenty of stuff at Porto's and it's always good, not everything is the best. The cookies and brownies and stuff are fine but nothing particularly great or worth getting excited over. But when you get the particular items we had (cheese roll, guava cheese strudel, and maybe the coconut strudel), they truly are done to perfection. The texture of the pastry is just perfect. And it's pretty consistent since they are just constantly making them fresh because they have so many people going through there. And then the medianoche sandwich is always tasty as well. On top of all this, everything is totally reasonably priced... |
LA Cheap Eats Food Tour--The Aftermath... This was the Roscoe's at Pico/La Brea. Honestly, you basically are right in that the chicken is not the best fried chicken and the waffles aren't particularly good on their own. But, somehow, when you put it all together, the chicken, the waffles, the butter, and the corn-syrup-y maple syrup, there just is something good and satisfying about it. The sum really is greater than its parts... |
LA Cheap Eats Food Tour--The Aftermath... Certainly a reasonable-seeming idea but the only problem is sometimes people have never had the item in question (like one guy had never had boba before). And, of course, it can work the other way as well (everyone but me had never had real "ramen" before besides store-bought, but they all ended up loving that). So, it is very hard to just subtract someone's score out because they didn't like it (for whatever irrational reason). |
LA Cheap Eats Food Tour--The Aftermath... And, also, it should be noted that some things really split people. For me and another guy who really like boba, the bobas at China Express got pretty good scores (90 and 82). But two of the other guys just don't like bobas in general and as a result gave it a (55 and 60). Similarly, with the Jack in the Box bacon shake (no longer on the menu, but I had some stored up for this occasion), another guy and I liked it and gave it 86 and 89. But then the other two guys didn't like it at all and gave it a 14 and 37. But that's just the nature of this stuff. As a result, something with a medium score might have something really good that some people would like a lot but others wouldn't. Also, with regards to the scoring, here's a general guide: 100-80 is very good |
LA Cheap Eats Food Tour--The Aftermath... exactly. The *** places are ones that I personally really liked (before we went on the tour). Most of them got really high scores but sometimes the other guys did like them but just didn't totally love them. And, then at some places (like Langer's and El Atacor), what we got didn't live up to what I had had in the past (just an off day or something). |
LA Cheap Eats Food Tour--The Aftermath... Alright, I was worried the formatting wouldn't translate, but i guess it'll work. Here are the scores. Now, for a little explanation, the scoring is just for the food. Each participant gave each stop one score (even if we had multiple items of food at one stop). Then we averaged the scores. The score is basically for taste but it also is for things like uniqueness as well as desire to come back and have the food again. Basically, the score means how much do I really crave this food. Ambiance was not included in the score. I wouldn't take these scores as truly definitive of anything. Sometimes one item we had at a place was really good and another item was just okay, so even though we would really recommend a particular item, the overall score for the place got a lower score because of the other item. Similarly, some people sometimes gave a really funky score that would throw off the average of all the other scores. Like one guy (irrationally) hates any meat cooked with wine (things like beef bourguignon) so he did not like the poutine at Animal (which is topped with something similar) and gave it a 24, while the rest of us gave it a 99, 98, and 87. Now, he was being honest and the score reflected his taste. He just really didn't like it (but he was not saying it was badly prepared or anything--it just wasn't to his taste). But, as a result, the poutine got a much lower score than it "should." Anyhoot, so take all this with a grain of salt, but here are the scores. 95.0 ***Dino's Chicken and Burgers ($5.50 half-grilled chicken + French fry plate) *** indicates one of my absolute favorite places |
LA Cheap Eats Food Tour--The Aftermath... Well, the LA Cheap Eats Food Tour 2012 is complete, and it was pretty epic. The four of us hit more than 75 places(!!!) in three days and we even did sightseeing as well (walking around in Santa Monica on 3rd street and the pier, checking out the La Brea Tar Pits, going to Griffith Observatory, driving to right underneath the Hollywood sign, etc.) The main thing that allowed us to eat at all these places was that the schedule was arranged so each place was only a few minutes drive to the next place (for the most part). Sometimes we'd get in the car and 20 seconds later we'd be at the next location. We intermixed every kind of food and interspersed savory with desserts (milkshakes are a big thing with us so you'll definitely see a lot of those). We were also very strict about not over-ordering, and I also carried a cooler filled with ice in the back of the car to take home leftovers (otherwise, I feel bad about buying a whole plate of stuff and throwing half of it away). So, the participants knew not to overeat at any one place, even if it was good, in order to save themselves for future treats. And despite two minor instances of a participant feeling slightly not-so-great, everybody was at 100% for most of the tour (and some guys were still ready to eat more even after the whole day of eating). We started about noon on Thursday (after everyone's planes arrived). The other days we started around 9:30am. And pretty much every day we went until around midnight (except on Sunday because everybody left around 10am). Of course, we didn't stop at every possible place we wanted to because logistically it's just not possible (like we missed a lot of Chinatown favorites because they were closed by the time we got there). But we really did hit about 85 percent of the places we wanted to go. The hands-down favorites definitely included Dino's Chicken, Porto's, Ricky's Fish Tacos, tarna sandwich at Zankou, Baklava Factory, Kogi Truck, the red velvet cupcake at Auntie Em's Kitchen, Big Mista BBQ (and a big shout-out to Big Mista himself for treating us extra nice when we stopped at his place), Mexicali Tacos, Papa Cristo's, the burger at Father's Office, Pazzo Gelato, Brian's Shaved Ice, The Godmother at Bay Cities, #7 Ramen at Santouka, assorted desserts at the Trails Café, and more. We did have a few disappointments. Langer's just didn't deliver. We just got some really fatty pastrami and it just wasn't great (and I've had it numerous times and know how good it can be). Similarly, the potato taco at El Atacor #11 just wasn't great this time (and, once again, I've had it before and know that it can be good). That's just the nature of this kind of thing. Sometimes, places are just gonna have an off-day for whatever reason. And now for the list of every place we stopped and what we ate there (the guide to the assorted markings is at the bottom of the list).

Internet for Seniors: Intermediate
Thursday, January 29, 2015 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm
There are now more than 27.5 million seniors using the Internet. If you're ready to become one of them, this is the class to join.

Several special online services, including video tutorials, Skype and YouTube will also be introduced. Skills needed: mouse skills, screen functions, create a bookmark, and print.

Anticipating 2015
December 16, 2014 in Memberships, News by JennAK
As we stated at the 2014 event, memberships will become available for Chicago TARDIS 2015 sometime in February. We have been assessing various membership levels (and the perks granted for each) in order to give the most fans possible what they want in terms of premium memberships. We look forward to welcoming back Big Finish executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery and New York Times best-selling author Tony Lee to our event, and will have many more guest announcements (and activity news) as 2015 progresses. Happy holidays to you and yours from the crew here at Chicago TARDIS.

your welcome. i'm not very good with genealogy. i originally got into genealogy when i tried to find out information about my paternal grandmother's parents. am not having much luck finding anything. my lineage on the clover side ended when my great uncle, homer dewey clover, died in 1955. he was married 3 times but had no children that lived from any of the marriages. all were either miscarriages or were stillborn not sure about that. i think israel had some children but don't really know anything about them. they lived in the area of cisco, illinois. there was a samuel clover in that area also. he might have been a brother of emmanuel clover but i am not sure. the clover cemetery is located outside of cisco, illinois on private property..there are only 3 graves left there. there had been others buried there according to the genealogy society in montcello, illinois. guess they were moved but i don't know where.
