He started training relatively late (he was 17 years old) as a way to learn how to defend himself. As a youngster he got involved in a lot of fights at school as well as at parties, and he wanted to learn self defence. To start his training he sought out Luis Brito, a BJJ and MMA instructor who was from Rio de Janeiro but living and teaching in Porto Alegre. He stayed with Luis Brito from white belt to purple, but as he got more and more interested in BJJ, Joao Assis realised that grappling was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life and that Porto Alegre just wasn't big enough for him. Always trying to seek out the best sparring and instruction around, he travelled to Sao Paulo to train with a legend in the business, Mr Leonardo Vieira, at the Brasa headquarters (now Checkmat). Under Vieira he met a formidable team that helped his jiu jitsu game grow exponentially, earning his brown belt from Vieira and later the deserved black belt in 2009. In another display of his fearlessness, Joao moved to the United States, travelling almost "blindfolded". He arrived at the northern territory without any money, any job, house or even a contact number, just armed with his will power and a strong belief in himself. Luckily (or maybe as Joao Assis puts it, thanks to his prayers) he managed to find the right people that helped him get settled in, people like Fabricio Werdum, Rafael Cordeiro, Dan Henderson, Carlson Gracie Junior, Lucas Leite, Robert Drysdale amongst many others. In America Joao Assis worked extensively on his wrestling and No Gi game to improve his MMA career, a career he started back in 2003 with a win by Mata Leao Choke against Valdir Linhares, at the Profight Combat Show. To get that high profile training Assis sought out one of the best wrestling based teams in MMA, Team Quest, who has some of the best fighters in the world – Dan Henderson, Chael Sonnen, Matt Lindland amongst many others.

Alisa Solomon takes look at rich history of 'Fiddler on the Roof'
Following Broadway's opening night performance of "Fiddler on the Roof," an old man who had fled a Russian shtetl — later abandoning his religion and Americanizing his name — came backstage to see his son, the show's director and choreographer. Throwing his arms around Jerome Robbins and weeping, he asked, "How did you know all that?"

Camping is key at Alpine Valley, promoter says
Mark Campana, co-president of North America concerts for Live Nation, may believe the BMO Harris Bradley Center is operating "way below the midline," but that's also the case in recent years for Live Nation-operated Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy. It is hosting just three concerts this summer, all in August: an annual appearance by Jimmy Buffett, a KISS and Def Leppard double header and a hip-hop tour headlined by Wiz Khalifa.
What could help Alpine Valley? One word: camping. »Read Full Article
As the live music business booms, the Bradley Center lags
Last year was the best ever for the live music industry. And it was one of the worst for the BMO Harris Bradley Center's concert business.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 20: Jordan Kerr of Australia plays a forehand in his first round doubles match with Ross Hutchins of Great Britain against Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski of Poland during day three of the 2010 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 20, 2010 in Melbourne, Australia. (Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images)
British tennis player Ross Hutchins has been diagnosed with cancer and says he hopes to return to the circuit before the end of the year after six months of chemotherapy. The 27-year-old Hutchins has Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the white blood cells. Hutchins won titles in Eastbourne and Delray Beach in 2012 with doubles partner Colin Fleming and also reached two other finals. He says ''I have been staying very positive, and looking forward to getting back on court.'' Close friend Andy Murray dedicated his victory at the season-opening Brisbane International to Hutchins. Hutchins says ''it brought a tear to my eye. He has been very involved talking to me every day, with lots of encouragement.''

Brad Richardson and Justin Williams scored third-period goals just over a minute apart to help lift the Los Angeles Kings to a 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday night. Jeff Carter also scored his 20th goal of the season for Los Angeles, which has lost just once in regulation in Dallas in its last 14 visits (11-1-2) and outshot the Stars 40-15. Richardson's goal was particularly impressive, since the fourth-liner was playing his first game since Feb. 10 and third of the season overall after sitting out as a healthy scratch the other 32 contests. Jonathan Bernier needed to make just 15 saves for the Kings. Jamie Benn and Ray Whitney scored for Dallas, which had won both previous meetings between the Pacific Division rivals this season by a combined score of 7-2.

Upgrade comes as Gingerbread prepares for official roll-out.
Packing a Dell Streak on O2? Then Christmas just came early. The network has announced that it's finally unleashing Android 2.2 FroYo onto its version of the slate.
.relatedLinksLeft { font-size:12px; width:300px; margin:12px 12px 12px 0; float:left; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; background:#ececec; } h3.rlTitle {margin:0px; display:block; padding:5px 0 4px 15px !important; background:#ddd; }
Taking to Twitter to confirm the news, O2 said, "Great news for our Dell Streak owners - the 2.2 FroYo update is coming this week". Some would say about time: FroYo has been out in the wild longer than the Streak itself.
That said, US Streak owners have had to deal with the news that they won't be getting FroYo until well into the New Year, by which point it will have been well and truly gazumped, not only by Gingerbread, but also by the next-gen Honeycomb version.
Got a Dell Streak? Tell us what you think of O2's news now over on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

What's going on with the Shell station at Middlefield and Shoreline?
Original post made by John the Man, Old Mountain View, on Jun 13, 2010
Is this another case of Shell shuttering one of their own stations? Or is this just a renovation?
Or is this Al Qaeda at work? Because if it is, the terrorists have won. And we all know Shell hates America.

Obviously, they're re-working it into a BP station!
By the way, ARCO is owned by BP (see their logo in the bottom right of the sign) so I'd strongly encourage you NOT to use their services.
They're probably just upgrading pumps or something.

Really stacy? Why? Do you know the operator of that station and did he do something you did not like? Or are you one of those people who jump to conclusions. I wonder who you work for and if we as a community should deny you a livelihood.

I'm graduating from law school in May and I am getting a new laptop as part of my graduation present (to myself). I don't know much other than I don't want a Mac - I used to have a MacBook Pro, and while I was very happy with it, I'm not willing to spend that much money for specs that aren't that great compared to their PC brethren. With that said, I am willing to spend up to $1,500 but I'd prefer to keep the price closer to $1,000.
I will use this laptop for work and gaming but I don't want it to look like a gaming laptop - must be respectable and not "showy" so I can bring it to court in the fall. I play everything from Civilization V to Skyrim and I plan on picking up Diablo III when it releases. Basically, I want this laptop to play all new release games on at least medium settings but I would prefer to play them on high-ultra settings, if possible. I'd prefer to have a 15 inch screen to a 17 inch one to cut down on the weight of carrying it to and from court.
Any suggestions that you guys, or gals, have are appreciated. Let me know if you need any other suggestions. Look forward to hearing from you!

My Impressions - 05/16/14
Of the first day of Titans Rookie Camp: First off, I want to start by saying I only got a chance to check the offensive guys. So keep that in mind.
Most eyes started on 1st round pick Taylor Lewan. Mine too. He looked good to me in drills. For a big man, he moves well. He worked at both left and right tackle. I was particularly impressed with his responses in the locker room after practice. Lewan commented that he is happy the draft process is over. And that he isn't happy about the fact that he was the 3rd tackle taken. Taylor also mentioned being eager to play against the veterans, or as he described it, "the best of the best."
But what impressed me most was when he said, "I haven't done anything yet. I don't even have a permanent sign on my locker. I'm ready to play ball and make this team."
Something tells me he'll make the team...
Bishop Sankey also did some good things. I liked his hands coming out of the backfield and catching passes. He did seem to get called out by Running Backs Coach Sylvester Croom quite a bit though. Perhaps that's because he will be counted on to contribute quicker than any other rookie.
Sankey also seemed very thoughtful and composed when interviewed by the media for the first time. I know he's done plenty of interviews during his playing career, but that first time as an NFL player can be intimidating. Not in this case.
The other guy that I not only watched closely, but talked to is Antonio Andrews. The former WKU running back struggled at times catching the ball. He had a couple of drops. But I've seen him in games, and the guy does it all. Including catch passes. He admitted that playing for the Titans has been his dream for years, and that he had opportunities to sign with other teams, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to play for the two-toned blue. Don't count the Fort Campbell native out. If the free agent can make a mark on special teams, he's got a good shot at making the team. Wouldn't that be a great story!
We'll see how these guys progress in upcoming weeks. For what it's worth, I'll let you know how I think they're coming along.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- Some Detroit-area cops are dealing with some real animals. Officers in Shelby Township had to take control of a black goat when it was found wandering a city park this week. Last month, the department rounded up an aggressive stray pig that charged a woman doing yard work. The pig was briefly detained and a photo of its ride in the back of a police cruiser went viral. The department is now trying to get the goat off its hands. Officers have posted a picture on Facebook, asking, "Does anyone know who owns this goat?!"
DURANGO, Colo. (AP) -- Plans for a pot-friendly ranch resort in Colorado have been snuffed out. The 170-acre CannaCamp resort touted weed-friendly activities like hiking and fishing. But a deal with the landowner fell through, and the marijuana-tourism company promoting the resort says it won't open after all. The deal was kicked after the announcement made international headlines and became the butt of jokes on late-night TV.
IVANPAH, Calif. (AP) -- Fourth of July has come early along a Southern California freeway. A van packed with fireworks exploded yesterday in what one witness calls a "psychedelic" display. But the sparkling sight was a headache for everyone caught in the backup that ensued. The burned out van briefly closed the main road between Los Angeles and Las Vegas at the start of the holiday weekend. The driver of the van fled and hasn't been found.
HONOLULU (AP) -- Most people see a toaster oven and think breakfast. Some criminals, think crystal meth. Two men are pleading not guilty to helping mail six pounds of methamphetamine from California to Hawaii in a four slice toaster. And it's not the first time drug smugglers have gotten savvy with shipments to the island state. Meth has previously been shipped to Hawaii in mannequin heads and stuffed animals.

Backseat of the Ford – An Excerpt from "Dirt Work: An Education in the Woods"
Back in 2007, author Christine Byl sent a juicy little story entitled "Innard Mongolia" to our fledgling blog. Today, we welcome Christine back to The Cleanest Line with congratulations on the publishing of her first book, Dirt Work: An Education in the Woods by Beacon Press.
The first half of Dirt Work is set in Montana's Glacier National Park. This excerpt, from the second chapter, finds the novice traildog out with a new crew in the Middle Fork district on Glacier's west side.
One of my first days in the Middle Fork
resembles my firsts nearly everywhere in Glacier: out of my element, eager to
get in, following along quietly until the former state gives way to the latter.
This particular day found my own crew leader sick and me shipped off for the
day with Brook and his Middle Fork guys to get a jump-start on the heavy
clearing in the Coal Creek burn. I knew Brook by reputation only.
Thirty-something, wiry, hyper, and flat-out hilarious, Brook was at the center
of some of the most outlandish pranks and stories in the trails canon. He was
drawn to drama, calamity, and excess. Brook loved attention. If he was on a
search and rescue, he'd end up on the local news, and you could see why. He
told a monologue worthy of a one-man show, complete with pantomime and
imitations. He teased until the butt of the joke was ready to throttle him,
stopped just before he was resented. His crews worked hard, hiked hard, drank
hard, laughed hard. I was eager to see him in action.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Mark Trumbo eligibility at 1B & 3B
Trumbo played 21 games at 1st and 8 games at 3rd; will he be eligible for either or both of these two positions for 2013?
Thanks!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
lauri_58801 lauri_58801 Nov 24, 2012 7:29 PM Flag
he will be eligible at first. if he simply played 8 at third he will not. if he started 8 at third he will.
- 2 Replies to lauri_58801
If I'm not mistaken, to meet Yahoo's criteria, at least 5 of his 8 appearances at 3rd will have to have been as a starter to keep eligibility for 3B. I'm looking at him too, with his multi position eligibility. I'm in a 16 team league, are there 16 better options at 3B?
Tim and Anita Weber Tim and Anita Weber Dec 9, 2012 2:34 AM Flag
Trumbo is horrible, why would you keep him or draft him? Ex a decent start last year, he's no good. Strikes out like crazy.
- 1 Reply to Tim and Anita Weber
well, he has a power bat with 32 hr and 95 rbi in 2012. very noteworthy, he is at that age where many batters reach their full potential. i expect that he will be given a full time spot. he is eligible in yahoo at 3b, 1b and of, with 3b being a fairly shallow position and he is very tempting there. certainly, in a draft after the top 3b are taken i will be happy to get trumbo. good luck, bob
Trumbo will be eligible at 1B & OF (LF & RF if your leagues breaks it down that way). As for as 3B goes he must have either started 5 games there or played in 10 games there. I am not sure he will qualify, but my guess is with 26 plate appearances as a 3B that he will be 3B eligible.

The cabinet on Sunday approved the government's World Jewry Joint Initiative, a program backed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett intended to finance Jewish identity programs around the world to the tune of billions of dollars over the next two decades.The initiative, first announced at a Jewish Agency-convened summit of international Jewish leaders in Jerusalem last November, has been touted by proponents as overturning the old Israeli-Diaspora paradigm in which Israelis negated the legitimacy of Diaspora life and the rest of the Jewish world viewed the Jewish state as a poor relation in need of aid."In Israel we typically view the world as a source of aliya and a big, fat wallet, and that's got to change," Bennett told Jewish leaders during that meeting. "Clearly things have got to change. It's got to work differently."The new initiative, he said, will usher in a more collaborative relationship between Israeli and Diaspora Jews.Finance Minister Yair Lapid voted against the new program, while Science, Technology and Space Minister Yaakov Peri abstained.At the center of the plan is a new, as yet unnamed non-governmental corporation to be composed of representatives of the philanthropic world, the Israeli government and Diaspora communities who will oversee funding and projects.According to Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs Ministry director- general Dvir Kahana, it will be modeled after Taglit-Birthright Israel, which utilizes both private sector and government funds but is not controlled by Israel. Instead, it will be controlled by a leadership team of 10 people and a steering committee of representatives of the government, the organized Jewish world, Jewish/Israeli public figures and private investors, The Jerusalem Post has learned.Each program will have a similar structure, with a board of directors in addition to a professional leadership team that oversees the various projects.A committee made up of the directors-general of several ministries and chaired by the prime minister will have an oversight role and determine government policy toward the new body.Funding for the initiative is expected to be split three ways, among Diaspora organizations, Jewish philanthropists and the government.According to the ministry, part of the plan is to create a centralized database for Jews around the world that will rely on existing databases from organizations such as Masa and Birthright. This would allow for follow-up with participants after they return to their communities abroad."The efforts will focus specifically on identifying the unaffiliated and working to engage them through innovative programming," according to the ministry.It is likely that some of the funds will be earmarked for Jewish social startups.In a statement following the cabinet meeting Sunday, Bennett reiterated his enthusiasm for the project, calling it a "revolution in the State of Israel's relationship with the Diaspora" and asserting that the new body would work on forecasting world Jewry's needs for the "next 25 years" in order to "strengthen Jewish identity and bolster ties between the State of Israel and the Diaspora."Asked if the private donor money was already lined up, a ministry spokesman said that as far as he knew, it was not.Earlier this year, Misha Galperin, senior North American fund-raiser for the Jewish Agency, told the Post that there had been "a great deal of interest from philanthropists."In a speech last year in Kiev, Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky indicated that Netanyahu had met with "potential donors" who could fund the proposed initiatives, a possible reference to American Jewish billionaire and close prime ministerial confidant Sheldon Adelson.Sunday's decision, the Diaspora Affairs Ministry said, was the first of two stages. In 2016, after the corporation is fully up and running, the government will call for an annual budget of NIS 800 million.Bennett previously stated that the plan would more than double current government spending on programs aimed at instilling Jewish identity among Diaspora Jews, to NIS 1 billion a year.A budget of NIS 187m. was approved by the cabinet for the interim. Together with Diaspora funding, a total of NIS 540m. is now being invested in the initiative.Diaspora Affairs Ministry officials have been careful to emphasize that this money comes in addition to, rather than in place of, funding already earmarked for projects such as Birthright and Masa."The big news is the establishment of the new entity and the new budget that will go toward getting the initiative off the ground and starting to create long-term programming," an official from the ministry told the Post.The initial announcement of the initiative came as the Pew Research Center released a major study of Jewry in America, the largest Diaspora community, in which the findings indicated accelerated rates of intermarriage and assimilation among millennials.According to the study, which surveyed almost 3,500 Jews between February and June 2013, there has been a generational diminution in identification as "Jew by religion" and that "among Jewish respondents who have gotten married since 2000, nearly six-in-10 have a non-Jewish spouse."The program is intended to "bring world Jewry to Israel and bring Israel to world Jewry" in order to stem the hemorrhaging of members from organized Judaism, according to an internal Jewish Agency document on the project.Aimed at younger Jews between 12 and 35 years old, the initiative is looking to create programming in seven content areas: immersive experiences; follow-up; Israel and peoplehood education in formal institutions; Israel education in informal settings; serving "the global good"; Jewish life and Israel engagement on campuses; and the immigration of young professionals.Following November's Jewish Agency-convened summit of international Jewish leaders, participants formed a number of working groups to generate potential projects for the initiative to fund. They were later debated during a multi-day open online "jam session."The Jewish Agency, which has played a central role in organizing the initiative and that will hold a seat on its steering committee, applauded the initiative's approval by the government. Quoting the cabinet decision, an agency spokesman stated that the organization would "be the government's partner in spearheading the initiative.""This government decision, which comes during a difficult period of budget cuts, is the strongest expression of the centrality of Jewish identity as the cornerstone of Israel- Diaspora relations," Sharansky said during the cabinet meeting. "Enhancing Jewish identity is at the heart of the Jewish Agency's strategic plan, strengthening both Israel and the Jewish world."While the agency has played a central role in getting the initiative off the ground, the formation of an independent body with a significant budget does create a powerful outside channel for reaching Diaspora Jewry, and it is unclear how this will affect its long-term operations.Speaking with the Post after the cabinet meeting, Sharansky said the government decision indicated a change in perceptions of the importance of Diaspora affairs in Israel. He compared the vote to the contentious battle that accompanied the establishment of Birthright."Now, everybody understood that this was very important and in the interests of Israel to have strong Jewish identity in the Diaspora," Sharansky explained. "At the time of Taglit, the debate was much more difficult."He added that Lapid, the only holdout, was against the initiative due to an opposition to spending Israeli taxpayer money abroad rather than on citizens.The next step, Sharansky continued, would be continuing the dialogue with Diaspora communities in order to approve an initial run of pilot projects within the next several months. Part of the Jewish Agency's continuing role, he stated, would be to "make sure that there is no paternalism on either side."The program comes at a "critical time," Prof. Steven M. Cohen, a Hebrew Union College sociologist and participant in one of the working groups, told the Post."When 82 percent of Reform-raised Jews in the US are marrying non-Jews, and when just 9 percent of the grandchildren of the intermarried are being raised in the Jewish religion, Diaspora Jewry clearly could benefit from dramatic investment in all forms of Jewish education: camps, youth groups, campus engagement, day schools and, of course, trips to Israel, both short-term and long-term," Cohen explained. "All these experiences are effective. We just need to increase participation, and this initiative promises to do just that."Barry Shrage, president of Boston's Combined Jewish Philanthropies, said the initiative created a "real opportunity for innovative thinking" to the benefit of all."The idea is great," Shrage said, although he cautioned that "everything will depend on execution."Alex Selsky, CEO of the World Forum of Russian- speaking Jewry, expressed satisfaction to the Post about the program."I'm happy to see the government of Israel takes more responsibility for the future of the Jewish Diaspora," he said, adding that he hoped to see a special focus on "the 1.5 million Jews who immigrated from the former Soviet Union to the Western countries," as they are "more pro-Israel than any other Jewish group."The Jewish Federations of North America welcomed the cabinet decision, calling it a "critically important response" in a statement."The Jewish Federations of North America have been pleased to work alongside many other organizations in thinking about how to bring this initiative to the forefront," it quoted executive director and CEO Jerry Silverman as saying. "Today, the government of Israel has taken a historic leap forward...Throughout history we have seen what we can accomplish when we speak as one voice, and we are looking forward to working with the [Israeli government], foundations, the Jewish Agency and others to act now and maximize the opportunity we have in front of us."While Jewish leaders in general were optimistic at the announcement of the cabinet vote, some did express reservations about the ability of Israel to implement such an ambitious program.According to philanthropist Jay Ruderman of the Ruderman Family Foundation, the government has gone about organizing the initiative "a little bit backwards.""I applaud the Israeli government for saying our relationship with the Diaspora is important to us and is crucial to our future," he said, "but I think it would have been better to sit down with the partners and hammer out a program that people could actually know what it was about before making such an announcement."

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

stopped in thursday morning. good selection at the time. no cretzels though. most items looked slightly overbaked to my eye.ordered a savory scone and a pan au chocolat. the scone was quite dry and lacking in flavor. didn't finish it. the pan, although looking dark (and pretty small for the $), was flaky and flavorful. good chocolate used. not up to the standards of our known best crossaints but not bad. will try again.

After noting your board name, if you are missing Jamon try a local Metropolitan Market. I can't speak for all locations but the one in Kirkland has an outstanding-for the area-meat and cheese counnter that has 3 different types and price levels of imported Jamon.
Aug 28, 2014bighound in Greater Seattle
Yesterday was the day and since I recieved many suggestions I thought I should report back.Left the house with a list of about 20 with 4 or 5 set and room to improvise.And try places I have never been before.
Larsen's Danish Bakery-Cinnamon Cream Twist-struedel style pastry with cinnamon & pastry cream.Fresh.Very good.Should have started smaller.
Biscuit Bitch-Bitchwich with sausage.Good-not Morsel good.May have suffered from the drive before eating.Moistened by the egg and sauce.Biscuit fluffy.Very little flavor in the meat.
LaParisienne French Bakery-Mini Mushroom Quiche.This was good but suffered from not being made that day.Filling very smooth and flavorful.Mushrooms tasty.Pastry was flaky.But kinda limp from refrig.
Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co.-Disappointing.Chose Chocolate Mint.Ate later in the day.The cake was quite dry,the topping flavorful but tasted greasy,not like frosting.And it appears they try to bake the cake on top of "Oreo" cookie crumbs.But when you peel down the paper to bite in you get an avalanche of loose crumbs all over you and wherever you are eating. Not good.
Honest Biscuit-ButterHole-At the SLU Farmer's Market.Nice variety of biscuits including a Triple Berry that I need to go back for.Chose the BH since I was taking this home to share with wife at dinner.Warmed with butter it was heavy but pretty good.Not Morsel good.
Marination Station-Miso Ginger Chicken & Kalbi Beef Tacos.I should have chosen different place.The meats alone were quite good.But I am not a fan of soft corn tortillas and the Nunya Sauce they use is really overwhelming.Did not enjoy.
Mike's Chili Parlor-Cup without Beans+cheese and onion-Amazingly first time here.One chili with only variation being beans or no beans.No beans=more$$.When I was presented the cup the first thing I noticed was grease.Upon first bite it started out ok but then came the excessive(IMO)chili powder.Too much.Thank god for free soda refills.
Pinky's Kitchen-BBQ Brisket Slider-Basically a half sand.I asked for light on the mild sauce.Spicy and me do not get along.First bite-stale roll.Decided to eat the meat only.Not tough but not tender meat.And luke warm.Sauce tasted of tomato and heat.That's all.Disappointing.
Lastly-The Angry Beaver-Poutine.Having discovered this up north recently wanted to try a local version recommended by a Canadian.
Lessons-maybe stick to one 'hood next time

Staying at Silver Cloud Inn University district
Based on where the hotel is, IMO you have little to no reason to travel onto "the Ave" which is what they call university way over the hill from your area. you are within walking distance of many good options. you are just a block off of ne 55th st. which i think is an underrated food destination in town. so as you walk east uphill from the corner of 25th and 55th(google map this), you will find:

One Night in Seattle Before a Cruise
Lunch at the market for your group sounds great. Pike Place Chowder, Matt's in the Market, and Market Grill are good choices for that.

Casual group birthday dinner and drinks in Seattle?
look into Tango on lower Capitol Hill. Delicious spanish food, a small private room available, full bar or many options close by, and the best dessert in the city.

Just saw the film Chef and now am dying for a good Cuban Sandwich. Other than Paseo, which I am very familiar with, where can one find a good traditional Cuban in the Puget Sound area?

What to eat in/south of Everett before noon on a Saturday?
in mukilteo, a short distance from all the air options at payne field, is a newish mukilteo lodge sports grill. they are currently open at 9am every day. i say currently because it may only last as long as the world cup. good food all around-at least at the one near me in kirkland. sports themes, tv's, breakfast, lunch, and close to where you need to be. leave LOTS of time to drive from oly.

Part of the allure of vacationing in Ocean City, Maryland are the beautiful views of the ocean. Why not make the most of your stay by renting a room at one of the numerous oceanfront hotels in Ocean City and enjoy the scenic Atlantic for the duration of your trip?
