Amy Vanderbilt
Amy Vanderbilt | |
Born | Amy Vanderbilt July 22, 1908 Staten Island, New York, U.S. |
Died | December 27, 1974 New York City, New York, U.S. |
(aged 66)
Occupation | Writer |
Amy Vanderbilt (July 22, 1908 – December 27, 1974) was an American authority on etiquette. In 1952 she published the best-selling book Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Book of Etiquette. The book–later retitled Amy Vanderbilt's Etiquette–has been updated and is still in circulation. The most recent edition (ISBN 0-385-41342-4) was edited by Nancy Tuckerman and Nancy Dunnan. Its longtime popularity has led to it being considered a standard of etiquette writing.
She is also the author or collector of cooking materials, including the 1961 book Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Cook Book illustrated by Andy Warhol. This cookbook's illustrations are attributed to "Andrew Warhol", and predate Andy Warhol's first New York solo pop art exhibition. His illustrations are simple line drawings in pen and ink.
Amy Vanderbilt descended from either an uncle or a brother of Cornelius Vanderbilt. She was born in Staten Island NY and worked as a part-time reporter for the Staten Island Advance when she was 16 while attending Curtis High School.[1] She was educated in Switzerland and at the Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn before attending New York University. She worked in advertising and public relations, and published her famous book after five years of research. From 1954 to 1960 she hosted the television program It's in Good Taste and from 1960 to 1962 she hosted the radio program The Right Thing to Do. She also worked as a consultant for several agencies and organizations, including the U.S. Department of State.
From 1929 to 1932 she was married to Robert Brinkerhoff.[2] In 1968 she married Curtis Kellar, a lawyer for Mobil Oil.[3]
On December 27, 1974, she died from multiple fractures of the skull after falling from a second-floor window in her townhouse at 438 East 87th Street in New York.[4] It remains unclear whether her fall was accidental (most likely due to the medications she took for hypertension, which friends and relatives (including Paul Knopf) later said caused her to have severe dizzy spells) or whether she committed suicide. She was buried at the Cemetery of the Evergreens in Brooklyn, New York.[5]

Loading... The Ringworld Engineers (1980)by Larry Niven
None. None Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I'm not exactly sure why, but this was a real let down given how much I recall liking it when I was much younger -- I guess I was somewhat of a sucker for most sci-fi back then, but still... what a disappointment. It felt far too much like Niven penned this one only to answer demanding questions from fans of the earlier book in this series. Oh well, I guess I likely won't follow up and continue reading the other Ringworld books unless I really feel something can offset the feeling this one left in me. Sometimes, it's better not to go back home. Ringworld Engineers is one of those times. In addition to other flaws, Niven contradicts the precepts of his own Known Space universe in order to reach a dramatic plot point. Since the originally-written Ringworld was unstable, Mr. Niven creates a plausible fiction to explain some necessary safety features. I found it a pretty good book, and read it twice over the years. I didn't really enjoy the original Ringworld, and this book, the sequel, was a little worse. I only persevered in reading it out of a sense of duty: given that the Ringworld is so famously unstable, I wanted to see how Niven had responded to fans' engineering tips. Call it reading the primary source materials behind an episode in nerd history. In his preamble, Niven states that he had had no intention to write a sequel to the earlier book, and that he only wrote Engineers to quiet down the clamoring hordes. Cue a mixture of back-pedalling, retconning and infodumps, all lacking even the modicum of inspiration that characterized Ringworld. The storyline seemed much less self-contained than the original book: it felt as though Niven was cramming as much corrective physics and engineering into this volume as possible in order to please the many fans who'd mailed him their suggestions; plots and events and even character development (e.g. a recovering drug addict) took a back seat and were often mere excuses for exposition and infodumping. Just about the only thing about Engineers where it outclasses the previous volume is the moral issues: the main character does contemplate the death and destruction that the troupe's earlier romping about had caused. In a similar vein, the ending to this instalment is a little stronger than the first in that it invokes moral dilemmas; if only it wouldn't then casually brush them aside after a paragraph's shallow consideration. One thing that Engineers did so much worse than the original was the attitudes surrounding sex -- and especially the part where the main character, as a red-blooded male, can't be expected to not have any. Ringworld had two women explicitly stating they would join the main character (Gary Stu in all but name) on a long voyage in a cramped space ship partially so he wouldn't have to sleep alone. Engineers turned that up to eleven, by introducing the concept of rishathra: ritualized inter-species sex between various species of hominids to seal agreements, solve diplomatic issues, or for anticonception purposes (due to interspecies infertility). Naturally, Mr. Stu gets to sample a wide selection of local females, because Niven keeps introducing rationalizations for why rishathra is necessary in Mr. Stu's dealings with any species he comes across. So. I've now read two famous sf classics that come with an amusing anecdote in nerd history, and I've now more than fulfilled my nerd duties. I will not be reading the next instalments in this series. no reviews | add a review

Building Staff Leadership Through Community Service
By Alex Vuchnich, CPA, CFE -
Many practitioners realize the value of actively serving in their communities by serving on volunteer boards or sponsoring community events. If you read my previous post on financial literacy then you already know that I believe this is one cause in which the accounting profession needs to be leading the charge. Although many times the principals of a firm may be heavily involved in this type of activity it seems that this same mentality is not fostered and instilled among the younger staff of the firm. As a result there is a tremendous opportunity being missed for developing the firm's future leaders.
This is one of those rare instances where accounting firms can take a cue from the law firms on ethical practices. Many law firms build into their annual budgets staff time for active community service. This sets the expectation that associates are to be active in their communities and find causes that they can be passionate about fighting for. Although there is a clear cost in the billable hours lost to these activities, the potential value from business development, training on leadership and management skills and general goodwill more than offset. For accounting firms this is just as true. It is a matter of not only encouraging staff to become active but to also support our staff in community involvement. This means allocating resources in the form of time and maybe even occasional travel expenses. You may feel that part of the annual CPE budget for staff can be used for developing these 'soft' skills, but wouldn't it make more sense to use CPE to train on the technical skills and use community service as a way to provide real world practical leadership development? Community service provides the lowest cost for leadership training when compared to the cost of recruiting staff with these traits or paying for training on these skill sets.
I indicate above that this is not only a leadership and business development opportunity but also an ethical matter. Although community involvement does not fall into the category of ethical dilemma there is an ethical proposition here that should be considered. In the case of community service, doing what is good for society is also good for me. All too often in the accounting profession, it seems that we wait to take action for societal problems and by the time we get around to acting, a 'solution' is forced upon us by legislative bodies. We would be far better served by instilling community involvement into our younger staff and taking an active role in solving some of these societal ills.

"Shrugging off statements by the Fed last week, mortgage rates remained relatively more stable than bond market yields. Without a key indicator that would move it one way or another, the financial market is in something of a state of limbo."
Amy Crews Cutts
"They remain stable over long periods, do not require light to be activated and can be applied to virtually any surface."
Michael Rubner
"You have to remember it's a very volatile market. But, if everything else remains stable, chances are fairly good that prices will be calming."
Randy Bly
"We anticipate one further rate hike to 5.0% in May, and Fed funds to remain stable at that level into 2007. Interest rate markets are now pricing in some chance of a move to 5.25%, which we believe to be unfounded."
Steven Saywell
"If we remain stable this fall, that's not necessarily a bad thing. You're still talking the highest numbers we've ever seen."
Cathy Keefe
"Because of their high yields and stable cash flows, utilities are defensive stocks. But with deregulation, part of the business -- the power generation piece -- is exposed to supply and demand concerns where it wasn't before."

The service, run in partnership with OneCore, allows small businesses to display their different financial accounts on a single page. Extending account aggregation's capabilities to business users could be a major part of the service's future. In some ways, the concept is better suited to SME users than to individual consumers.
The US bank Wells Fargo is rolling out a network of new ATMs that will present a tailored interface to each customer based on their previous usage patterns, and will include one-touch access to their most used requests. This development will add value to what is an often overlooked channel and should improve customers' perceptions of the bank.
Wells Fargo is launching a smaller mini-branch format that will allow it to operate in areas where normally sized branches are unviable. Reducing branch size will result in significantly lower operating costs. This means that banks can continue to keep branches - still a vital acquisition tool - despite the continuing migration of customers to digital channels.
Web 2.0 technologies represent a means through which retail banks can more accurately serve the modern consumer. As such, many banks appreciate the benefits that such technologies could bring to their online offerings, such as a new, more customizable and interactive internet experience. However, they remain cautious about implementing the technology due to perceived security implications.
The global wealth management market is now seeing a number of M&A deals, with Kleinwort Benson and parts of ING's private banking division now under the hammer. Yet the actual number of top-tier businesses coming to market remains small and competition for these assets is becoming fierce as more wealth managers get back on their feet, making it essential to move cautiously and strategically.
The mass affluent market remains a growth opportunity for the banking sector as the asset base of typical investors grows. According to Datamonitor research, spending by financial services firms on front-to-back wealth management IT in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific will reach $28.5 billion by 2012 as they increase investment in the technology to cope with regulations and stay competitive.
Walmart and American Express recently announced the launch of Bluebird, a packaged prepaid card and account service designed for low income consumers. Unlike other prepaid card accounts, the service has minimal fees and can be used for a range of traditional banking services.
The recent Bloomberg National Poll reveals negative consumer sentiment towards the banking community is still present in the US, with over 50% of those surveyed expressing an unfavorable opinion about these institutions. However, Datamonitor's Financial Services Consumer Insight survey may bring some reassurance to industry players.
Wal-Mart has told US banking regulators it has no plans to open any bank branches. The retail titan is seeking to set up limited banking operations to generate payment transaction savings, but the plans have the US banking industry worried that this is the start of a Wal-Mart entry into consumer finance.

Friend of
KNOM, It's like a miracle. All of a sudden, the tundra is bright green, dotted with tiny flowers. Songbirds are everywhere, returning from their winter quarters in Mexico, South America and the South Pacific. Our summers are brief and cool, but we welcome them especially, knowing that we will see frost again next month. You remain in our prayers, and we sincerely thank you for your financial help and your prayers on our behalf. Thank you! REUNITED (left): Tom and Florence Busch rejoin following graduation ceremonies at Boston College, with Tom's honorary doctorate tucked under his arm. Soon afterward, B.C. treated thirty KNOM contributors and former volunteers to a delightful luncheon. "I still can't believe it," the KNOM general manager says. "None of the other honorary degree recipients felt that they deserved it either, so I know I'm in good company." In a brief speech at a black tie dinner the night before, Tom shared the honor with KNOM's contributors, "many of whom have achieved their eternal reward ahead of us. Some have given hundreds of thousands of dollars," he told 480 trustees and other dignitaries. "Some have given one dollar. I honor each of them. Without them, KNOM would not exist and I would not be here." "I also share this equally with my wife Florence," Tom said. "If she hadn't held me together for the past twenty-seven years, I would not be here." See page 4 for more photos and information. NO BREATHING EASIER: Last month, the KNOM news department reported the results of a recent medical study. According to the research, no fewer than forty percent of children in the KNOM listening area suffer from chronic respiratory disease.
In larger communities like Nome,
population 3,500, the problem is typically asthma. In villages, it's
chronic cough of undetermined origin. |
INSPIRATIONAL SPOT: I have a great need for my Lord. I have a great Lord for my need. |
God is like air. You can't always see it, but you cannot live without
it. |
carpenter's Son had hands that were callused and worn. These hands held
sacred scriptures in the temple, hammered wood in the workshop and
carried wood for His mother. Ordinary, everyday things for
extraordinary hands. Jesus, Carpenter from Nazareth, may the work of my ordinary hands help to sanctify me. |
INSPIRATIONAL SPOT: If you always tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything! |

In No god but God, internationally acclaimed scholar Reza Aslan explains Islam—the origins and evolution of the faith—in all its beauty and complexity. This updated edition addresses the events of the past decade, analyzing how they have influenced Islam's position in modern culture. Aslan explores what the popular demonstrations pushing for democracy in the Middle East mean for the future of Islam in the region, how the Internet and social media have affected Islam's evolution, and how the war on terror has altered the geopolitical balance of power in the Middle East. He also provides an update on the contemporary Muslim women's movement, a discussion of the controversy over veiling in Europe, an in-depth history of Jihadism, and a look at how Muslims living in North America and Europe are changing the face of Islam. Timely and persuasive, No god but God is an elegantly written account that explains this magnificent yet misunderstood faith."Grippingly narrated and thoughtfully examined . . . a literate, accessible introduction to Islam."—The New York Times"[Reza] Aslan offers an invaluable introduction to the forces that have shaped Islam [in this] eloquent, erudite paean to Islam in all of its complicated glory."—Los Angeles Times Book Review"Wise and passionate . . . an incisive, scholarly primer in Muslim history and an engaging personal exploration."—The New York Times Book Review"Acutely perceptive . . . For many troubled Muslims, this book will feel like a revelation, an opening up of knowledge too long buried."—The Independent (U.K.)"Thoroughly engaging and excellently written . . . While [Aslan] might claim to be a mere scholar of the Islamic Reformation, he is also one of its most articulate advocates."—The Oregonian
REZA ASLAN has studied religions at Santa Clara University, Harvard University, and the University of California, Santa Barbara. He holds an MFA in fiction from the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa, where he was also visiting assistant professor of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies.

Unlike other posts that questioned the merits of a video since one cannot tape the actual contact between the Aneros and the prostate, I believe that your videos will help me reach a point of pleasure much sooner than self-experimentation. Several things that I've already garnered from them include: 1) You do not insert the Aneros fully into your anus. It appears that you allow your sphincter to draw the last 1/2 to 3/4" of the Aneros into your rectum which properly positions the perineal stimulator. 2) The tempo at which you perform the relaxation exercises is very helpful. I am sure that I would not have paced myself as you do. Additionally, I can see that you don't use either your abdominal muscles or buttocks to create movement with the Aneros. Since watching you, I've been practicing my Kegel exercises in an attempt to isolate the sphincter especially from my lower abdominals. 3) Using a vibrator - I have an Hitachi Magic Wand - to stimulate oneself before insertion is something that I've not read anywhere wihtin the forum. It certainly must put you in the right frame of mind. 4) Seeing that your erection ebbs and flows during the course of the video is very helpful. I am sure that I would have been concerned if I started to become less rigid - assuming that I was doing something wrong - during a session if I hadn't seen your video. 5) Although I won't immediately attempt to alter the Aneros, your instructions on how to reposition the perineal stimulator are excellent. I have already searched for my optimum contact point. It's much closer to my anus than my scrotum. So, I know that I will eventually use your technique to wrap the stimulator in aluminum foil prior to heating and repositioning it. 6) Finally, thanks for reminding me that masturbation is a great way to end a session. There seems to be much discussion on the several forums related to this stimulator whether its purpose is to promote prostate health or be a source of stimulation and pleasure. I have even read on HighIsland's forum a discussion, along with scriptural passages, of religious prohibitions to self pleasure. (I can still remember the religious euphemism for masturbation as "self abuse.") Your candor in ending each session by masturbating emphasizes that pleasuring oneself is not only natural, a means to good mental and physical health, but also a legitimate use of the Aneros. Thanks. I'm sure that I'll review the videos once or twice before receiving the Aneros. I also plan to use a mirror the first few times that I enjoy the Aneros referencing my technique against yours. Finally, a question. Have you heard of any groups forming in geographic areas to discuss the Aneros and possibly experiment with it? With many postings of individuals having difficulty reaching a point of satisfaction, experienced users could help demonstrate proper use. They could be called ASAP Users groups: (A)neros (S)upport (A)nd (P)rostate-health groups. Could a convention be far behind? Thanks for all the advice, Homer[/quote] Homer, I'm very flattered and extremely pleased that you appreciate the efforts. That makes it all worth while! I hadn't thought about how much you [i]CAN[/i] actually learn just by observing another user until you brought them to my attention. However please note that EVERYONE is different. The way the Aneros is positioned; the pace of my relaxation exercises; the modifications I've made to the Aneros itself; all of those details are what works best FOR ME. I truly encourage you and all other users to experiment a great deal and come up with the formula that fits your own biological eccentricities. If you focus too much on HOW you're doing it, you're not paying attention to the feelings being generated by the Aneros. Lastly, no, I haven't heard of any such groups being formed. Sharing one's experience in a forum such as this versus a personal, face-to-face "group meeting" is a big step most folks (including myself) probably aren't willing to make. Unfortunately, it's too difficult to know whether or not any of the people involved in such an activity have an ulterior motive or not. It would be fine if everyone were truly there to [i]LEARN[/i] from each other, but we live in a world that isn't that black and white. Thanks again, Homer, and let us hear about your success! Jackson

I use a Peak focusfinder and stop down to my preferred f-stop for exposure. I used to use a blue filter on my older LPL focusfinder, as described in Gene Nocon's book, and found it actually did make focussing easier for me.
If I have to use a small fstop, I'll focus a stop or so above (so I can see the grain better) and then stop down; but these days, my exposure/processing/printing technique is pretty standard, so it's rare that I need to use this method - usually it's saved for my earlier work. :)
Rough focus by eye with the lens wide open and filter in place, then fine tune it with a grain magnifier.
Often followed by forgetting to stop the stupid lens down before exposing... :o)
I've been in the habit of checking focus after stopping down but I'm probably just obsessing too much when I do that.
Also a good bloke and a good photographer as well.
I spent a small amount of time yesterday with a blue filter, no filters and filters in the light path and the blue filter wins hands down, but probably not for the reasons people have mentioned.
Prints done using the blue filter on the focus scope were [to me] sharper than those focussed without the blue filter.
YMMV but for me at 60 my eyes are not what they were at 40 and for no other reason the blue filter provided a far superior delineation between critically sharp and acceptably sharp. When I checked the image on the baseboard there was no difference after focussing with the blue filter when I compared it to no filters or the normal dial in DeVere colour head filters for focussing. Focussing as I normally would with or without filters but not using the blue filter gave a sharp image but not as critically sharp as using the blue filter.
I tried this same experiment 20 years ago with absolutely no difference at all either way, so to see such a difference now is most likely the deterioration of my eyesight over time.
I will continue to use the blue Peak filter as a focussing aid for my aging eyes.
Filter on the focus scope, no correction filters in the light path then when focussed add the correction filters. And yes this is for Black and White multi contrast printing.
I get that you are saying it is a matter of being able to see better for focusing. My eyes are 52 and not as good as they were when I was younger either. I use a wratten 47b blue filter and I'll try it but I think the "filter factor" is too much-- the image is a lot dimmer. ( Also I understand you are talking about a filter for your focus scope... I don't have anything like that... )
On another thread about grain focusers I mentioned that I would try getting some reading glasses from the drug store... I did and it makes a huge difference. Now I can see when my print is in focus... I'm happy now.;)

About This Game
- Summary
- Specifications
- Game Editions
One of a series of loosely-connected entries in the Ninja Gaiden series by SEGA (continuing Tecmo's franchise as developer and publisher,) this Japanese title loosely resembled a port of the arcade title. Ryu has been sent to America to recover the stolen Secret Scroll of Homa, and must do battle with a variety of thugs to reach his goal. Enemies featured in the game mostly resemble those from the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden, but the stages and combat system were drastically different.
This version of the game was scheduled for release in 1992 and was announced only for Japan, but the game was never formally released and only came to be known via a bootleg leaked much later on.

I live in Indonesia, love Taylor's music and karaoke. I'm a new Taylor fan, in my 30s and have a toddler who sings along whenever I play Taylor's songs.
I had been in corporate world for over 13 years and just left my comfort zone; I am now doing new things and seeing that things outside my comfort zone are not as scary as I thought. One of those new things is Taylor's music which I've actually started a bit a few months ago between my busy hours as a mom and a corporate zombie.
Now that Taylor has announced the RED tour coming to Australia,I wonder if Taylor will bring the RED to Indonesia/Singapore. It is more likely for me to go to the concert in S'pore than in Jakarta, though. Looking forward to the good news.

Agave Y Aguacate - delicious Mexican
- 73 Comments
- Follow
Saw Petek mention this in another thread and it reminded me that I hadn't heard anyone talk about Agave Y Aguacate here yet. And it really deserves to be talked about.
I first heard about Agave Y Aguacate from Steven Davey's review in NOW Magazine. I hadn't noticed the rating he had given it at the time – 5 N's – but wholly concur after making my own visit to this one-man operation. Everything is made fresh and to-order – tostadas are fried, guacamole is prepped, tomatoes are sliced – all while you patiently observe and salivate. Watching Francisco Alejandri work is fascinating, as it reveals the care he puts into the creation of every dish. And the results are worth it.
I started with the green tostada. The guacamole is heavily laced with lime – just the way I like it – and piled on a freshly fried tostada with lightly marinated tomatoes and a slice of queso fresco cheese. It is then topped with crema, as well as a guajillo chili and tomatillo salsa. This dish, while rich and creamy from the guacamole, cheese, and crema, gets balanced out by the acid from the tomatoes and lime. The salsa gave things a vague hint of heat and a little sweetness. I splashed some of the habanero sauce that was on offer beside the table, but the sauce wasn't very hot and I thought the dish was better without it. The fresh and bright flavours really took me away from the dreary rain spitting from the grey sky outside.
Like the green tostada, the flank steak salad had great fresh flavours – lime, fresh red onion, vinegar, jalapeño, tomato, coriander – mixed with the shredded flank steak. This was sided with tortilla chips that are fried to order, apparently. I missed this part as I was dorking away on my cell, but I remember hearing the sizzle from the fryer. I could have used more jalapeño for more kick, but the flank steak salad was a really beautifully crafted dish with awesome layers of flavour. I also somehow thought this was a sandwich when I first read the menu. Must read slower.
No photo (gasp, I know) of the pinto bean soup I had taken home to eat. This soup – again, made to order(!), like every thing else – was piping hot when it went into the container. A container that had fresh chunks of avocado in it. And if you've ever cooked avocado, you'll know it gets bitter. Otherwise, this carefully crafted soup was quite good and filling. Made with ancho chiles, more of the queso fresco cheese, and topped with tortilla strips and crema.
Remembering that the NOW review had directed readers to not leave without the lime Charolotte, I got this dessert to-go as I was both full and out of time. Lime-custard layers alternating with Maria biscuits topped with fresh lime zest and dose of arbequina olive oil. This is a dense and creamy confection, lightened by the citrusy zing of the lime.
I missed out on a few things on the menu, but the one thing that I wished I had ordered: the hibiscus agua fresca. Sounds refreshingly delicious! Will have to save that for my next visit. To make your own visit to Agave Y Aguacate, look for El Gordo's Fine Foods with signs on the outside for churros. Then, head past the bakery toward the various food vendors at the back. Though this is a counter-only kind of place (with maybe five seats shared in the entire place), optimally, you want to eat the food as soon as you can. Take-out isn't the main thrust of this place.
Most dishes hover around around the $5 mark (cash only), so things aren't expensive, but portions are more snack-sized than meal-sized for the items I tried at lunch. I went during a slow period, so had no issues with the speed of preparation, but I can imagine things getting pretty slow during peak times. Fast food, this isn't, so don't be in a rush if you visit Agave Y Aguacate. Quality takes time, and this is well worth the wait.

Sounds fantastic, especially in our Mexican-deficient city. I think another cheap and cheerful Kensington Market/Chinatown tour is in the cards for me!

Francisco needs to open a sit down restaurant. Having recently tried his "non-fast" take-out food and watched as he fastidiously and passionately prepared each component of every dish, I can only imagine the depth of his culinary prowess. Also not to be missed are the tinga (chicken) tostada, which I liked even more than the green tostada, and the meatball sandwich.
Just remember that you really have to be patient. I waited about 30 to 40 minutes for my 3-item order and it wasn't that busy (2 people ahead of me). I'd happily do it again.
re: Tatai
He'd have to train up some staff, otherwise speed issues would be even worse...! hee hee.
But really, the dude is really passionate about crafting his dishes.
Gotta try the tinga tostada and meatball sammy next! The rest of his food was awesome.
Thanks for posting this. Sounds fabulous. Might be a great way to spend a leisurely few hours one afternoon. I am going!
re: froglegs
The food was good here. Good, not great. The meatball sandwich was tasty but needed much more zip to claim it as a "Mexican Meatball". Tostadas were tasty and the soup was decent. It was mega-slow!!! I know some of you are fawing over his passion and attention to detail but alot of the slow down would be avoided if he tackled some proper mise-en-place before he opens shop. There is no justifiable reason to hold things up while you julienne tortillas, sorry. If a major portion of this work was done before service he'd have more time to lift his head up, charm customers and most importantly serve customers and turn over customers. I'd mos def hit him up again but if there is a line 10 people deep I'd most likely not wait it out. Which is unfortunate because the food doesn't equate to a wait like that. Good food, quickly.
re: insideman
I guess you are right. The guy should get his act together . As they say....the customer comes first!

re: insideman
What's the best time of day - do you think - to experience this guy's food without a major linelup?
re: KitchenVoodoo
I go by all the time and have looked in to see if there's a lineup. Usually, there isn't.
I first went a couple of weeks ago before he was "discovered." If you go earlier in the week the only time I've seen a line (ie 3 people) is right at noon. Earlier than that or after 2, there's nobody. However, Sat and Sun the place is crazy busy as are the churros and empanada places he shares the space with.
Best bet is to place your order, pay and come back in 20 to 30 minutes after you do your other shopping. Or, if you go mid-afternoon, you can watch him put everything together - quite fascinating if you're interested in cooking "real" Mexican food. He's very friendly. I heard he cooked at Scaramouche (?).
If you just want cheap slop on a plate with no wait, there's plenty of places nearby.
re: Herb
Thanks Herb, no cheap fast "slop on a plate" for me - I want the real deal from Mexico! Am prepared to wait, but not for hours. Can't wait!
re: insideman
@ insiderman.... couldn't have said it better myself. The food is good but people seem to hold up the slowness as some kind of shining virtue.
i'm looking to go to agave tomorrow, however i've read that seating is limited. can someone confirm if there is any seating at all please.
i plan on going with my boyfriend who currently has a broken ankle so he'll need to sit down!0-
re: nart
Unfortunately, there's no seating at all. Just a bit of a standup counter area.
However, there is a bench and exactly 2 seats next door at Segovia. The owner of El Gordo inside where A y A is and Segovia are related. So maybe if you ask at Segovia if you can sit there they won't mind. You can always get some of there alfajores and some sweet empanadas for desert. Or get an order of their feijoida to take home for dinner later. Or some of their sausages. Or try their tasty pulled pork sandwich . . . :-)
re: num nums
There's one small table in a corner on the upper level next to the hot sauces. I sat at it — it must be there! Segovia is a butcher shop - no seating that I can recall.
re: Herb
there's a small table w/ two chairs in segovia, it's there. I sat in it eating feijoida a few weeks ago.
It's a decent spot, but no, not knocking out the missing taco ladies from Perola's. Best way to describe AYG is on some Rick Bayless Xoco steez. Hopefully he realizes having a few 9 pans of mise is perfectly acceptable and won't be detrimental to freshness. It's ok, fine dice some onions in advance, not a big deal if they're an hour old.
Btw, a new taco stand took over the back of Perola's a few weeks ago. I haven't tried it yet but took a pic of the menu hanging up on the wall (tacos, quesadillas, tamales, chile rellenos, pozole).

TheClassicCarFactory 5pts Competition for the Mercedes GL...and the basis for greenlighting the Rolls Royce SUV.
Carzila 5pts I don't see many comments on this topic. Monsterized is the first one, I am second. That means no so many people want X7. An big X7 will lose BMW's agility and sporty saga. I do believe there is still market here for X7 to compete with GL and escalade.
Monsterized 5pts I don't understand BMW. They discarded any chance to develop and build a full SUV... sorry, SAV several years ago, and now they're worry about an Escalade ESV competitor? It's just like my girlfriend when she's angry but she tells me she is not.-Mönst-

Re: Linehan stays calm on status of defense
Yet another chance for Jimmy Kennedy... It doesnt really break my hear though. He might come out with a little something after a full offseason with Haslett.
Also, it sounds like Linehan is trying to keep us from freaking out if we take anything but a DT with our first pick. Might even be leaning towards a DE.
There is definately an argument for the Rams taking Martz to the playoffs.

Re: Linehan stays calm on status of defense
Hell if Martz knew anything about defense they might have won the SB appearance. Linehan will be around a long time imo, and soon we will forget the man who ruined a greater team than they were able to show us! Linehan is our man and he will bring us back to top teir status!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-03-30-2007 #20
Re: Linehan stays calm on status of defense
"That's why you don't get caught up in: 'You need a nose tackle,' " Linehan said. "If you've got a guy that can rush the passer just like a guy who can score touchdowns you're not going to pass that guy up."
I think Linehan is blowing draft smoke. I can not see the rams passing up on a DT in the first round.:ramlogo:

Re: Linehan stays calm on status of defense
If Kennedy can play solid D, that will really help us. That's a big IF.

1. The Free Agents were not good.
2. Claude Wroten is going to have a bigger impact.
3. Not ready to give up on Kennedy.
4. Want more pass rush.

Re: Linehan stays calm on status of defense
It's simple - because we don't have the pieces to make it work. If I'm cooking dinner and I'm making shrimp & scallop fettuccine, maybe it doesn't go as well as I'd hoped. But I can't suddenly change and start making BBQ beef shish kabobs if I don't have the beef or the kabobs or the BBQ sauce.
We don't have a 3-4 nose tackle, and you're not going to run a successful 3-4 without a competent effective player there. Is it a coincidence that successful teams like Pittsburgh and San Diego are known for having two of the most talented noses in the league?
We'd have to shift at least one interior lineman to defensive end, and a move to the 3-4 probably makes the James Hall trade pointless. Witherspoon's effectiveness drops even more in the 3-4 because that's one less body in front of him to allow him to roam freely.
The pieces just aren't there, and you can't advocate a total schematic change because you aren't satisfied with the current scheme. In order to change, you need the pieces to do it. We don't have them, so for better or worse, we'd a 4-3 team.
It would have to be Anderson because Adams won't be there.
Welcome to the 2015 Rams Draft Class

Re: Linehan Interview about FA/Draft
I feel a trade coming as well, whether through the draft or for a player something is going to happen.
It always seems to be the teams that stay quiet that make the move.
-03-30-2007 #28
Re: Linehan Interview about FA/Draft
maybe we can trade for ryan pickett and a couple of things will happen
1) tx and i will be happy
2) we dont have to hear about "he only had one good year, he's not worth the money" and most importantly
3) I will be able to stop whining about how we let pickett get away, a legitimate run stuffing nose tackle type who led the entire nfc in tackles at his position on a horrible defense before we let him walk for NOTHING

We had Fletcher ,Bly, ect. Damn , a 2 Super bowls in 3 yrs defense and for ? we lost damn good players. Martz? maybe... but I do know this, better days are comming!

Very grassy smell and taste. When I got to the bottom of the cup, the taste was bitter, maybe because small particles had leaked out of my tea ball and settled to the bottom. Either way, not a big fan of this tea.
