Christopher Scott Seifert '97, a U.S.
Army captain serving in the 101st Airborne Division in
Kuwait, was one of the first American casualties of the
Iraq war. He was 27.
President Rokke said: "We're
a small college and a small community, and this is going
to be felt. . . . We are proud to count Chris
among Moravian's alumni, we are grateful for his service, and we are
humbled by his sacrifice."
This tribute was inscribed on a card, designed
by Anne Dutlinger, assistant professor of art and chair of the Art Department,
that was signed by Moravian
faculty, and staff, and sent to Chris's family.
He was married to another
Moravian graduate, Theresa L. (Terri) Flowers '97,
and leaves a 4-month-old son, Benjamin.
Chris was an active member of the Moravian College family. He majored in
history, and his advisor, Professor Robert Stinson, remembers him as quiet
and respectful,
a student who "always had a smile on his face."
As a member
of ROTC, he often wore his combat boots and Army fatigues to class, Bob
said. "He was glad that he was in the ROTC program," he added. "This
wasn't something that he was doing to get some money for school.
He thought that it would be a good line of work."
While at the College,
Chris was a founding member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, whose current
brothers wrote in an all-campus e-mail: "Although the actions
of the war are thousands of miles from Bethlehem, the effects of this
tragedy are felt by all. . . . Let us think about those
serving our country, and the families of those abroad."
Chris was a 26-Pointer, one of the team of campus ambassadors who take
prospective students and their parents on tours of the College and
answer their questions
and concerns, recalls Bernard Story '80, vice president for enrollment.
Jack Ramsey, Bertha F. Cohen '37 and Bernard L. Cohen Professor
of English Language and Literature, remembers Chris as a lighting technician
for theater
productions and a member of the drama club.
Chris gave his community
service time to Big Brothers of the Lehigh Valley. His family has
requested that memorial contributions be made
to this
His wife, Terri, also was an engaged member
of the College community, as president of United Student
and a member of the former
Epsilon Pi sorority
(which became Zeta Tau Alpha while she was a student), yearbook
staff, governing board of the Haupert Union Building, and
senior class gift
committee. She
also was a resident advisor.
Because he was such an early casualty
of the war, the media came to campus in force to find
background for their features. Among
them were:
3, 6,
10, and Fox 29 (Philadelphia), Channel 69 and TV-2 (Lehigh Valley),
and Channel 27 (Harrisburg). The Philadelphia Inquirer ran a
story; the Morning
Call and Express-Times, several. USA
Today quoted Bob Stinson for
its story on Chris,
and Newsweek mentioned him in a list of early casualties.
Bob and Bernie, others who shared their memories of Chris
with the media included Dennis Glew and Ros Remer of the history
Bonnie Salter
of the
Admissions Office, and Ann Claussen, director of the HUB.

Yesterday's vote by Israel's Knesset to require a referendum to ratify any peace deal that involved the surrender of Jerusalem or the Golan Heights is being slammed in the Arab world as well as by other foes of the Jewish state. For Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, such a vote would be an "obstacle" to peace. Similarly, Israel Lobby author Stephen Walt believes it means the end of the two-state solution, since it "gives a veto to the hard-line settler faction."
Such claims are laughable. In fact, assuming that the Palestinians were themselves interested in actually signing a peace deal (something they have repeatedly declined to do even when offered virtually all the West Bank, Gaza, and part of Jerusalem, as they were in 2000 and 2008), the knowledge that any accord would have to be ratified by a referendum in which Israelis could vote it up or down would make it more, not less, likely to be accepted by an Israeli government.
One of the problems that helped undermine Israeli support for the Oslo process was the fact that a narrow parliamentary majority rammed it down the country's throat. Even worse, the follow-up agreement to the first accord, known as Oslo II, was only secured after two members of the now defunct right-wing Tsomet Party crossed the aisle to Labor in exchange for promises of high office and other perks. This shady process helped fuel public opposition to the deal, though it must be conceded that most of the credit for convincing Israelis that their government was on the wrong path must go to the Palestinians and the campaign of terrorism they waged even though peace was supposed to have broken out.
Any Israeli government that chose to sign an agreement that called for the re-division of Jerusalem or handing the strategic Golan back to Syria would be strengthened by the knowledge that their decisions would have to be ratified by the people. They would be free to be more, not less, generous with a Palestinian partner who genuinely wanted peace, simply because such a government would be, in a sense, operating with a net. Without a referendum, acceptance of an agreement would be merely a matter of enforcing party discipline in the governing coalition. That would leave any government — especially one led from the right, as is Israel's current coalition — vulnerable to accusations of betraying their voters. A referendum would give any peace deal the seal of democratic approval that it must have to succeed.
Moreover, far from ensuring that a deal would be defeated, the odds are that any referendum for a peace treaty would be passed, assuming it actually required the Arabs to accept Israel as a Jewish state within secure and accepted borders and without a "right of return" for the descendants of refugees, which would mean the country's destruction. Israelis desperately want peace and might be inclined to accept anything that seems like a genuine solution even if they were skeptical about the Palestinians. That Walt thinks a referendum would give the settlers a veto shows that he understands Israel as poorly as he does America (whose foreign policy is, he thinks, directed by a pro-Israel cabal composed of a wall-to-wall coalition of liberals, moderates, and conservatives). Since a referendum would be a simple yes or no vote by the entire electorate, why would a group that makes up only a tiny percentage of the voting public have a veto?
But what most of those who have commented about this measure don't mention is that so long as the political culture of the Palestinians regards the acceptance of a Jewish state as anathema no matter where its borders might be drawn or who controls Jerusalem, then any discussion of a referendum to ratify a peace deal is more science fiction than political science. After 17 years of fruitless concessions made in the name of peace, most Israelis have understandably grown cynical about a process that has proved to be an exchange of land for terror, not peace. If Abbas wants to change their minds, all he has to do is be willing to make peace and demonstrate to Israel's people that he means it. Israeli democracy would be the best guarantee of a two-state solution, if only he were prepared to act as if he actually wanted one.

Iraq Policy Debate Dominates the News
In the second week of the new year (January 7-12) Iraq policy filled 34% of the overall newshole and was the top story in all five media sectors — newspapers, online, network TV, cable and radio.
Few Latinos Now Support the War in Iraq
Two out of every three Latinos now believe that U.S. troops should be brought home from Iraq as soon as possible and only one in four thinks the U.S. made the right decision in using military force, according to a new survey by the Pew Hispanic Center.
Baker-Hamilton Report Evokes Modest Public Interest
The public has grown more negative about the situation in Iraq and President Bush's handling of the war. Half of Americans now believe the war in Iraq will turn out to be another Vietnam, while just a third think that the U.S. will accomplish its goals there.
Civil War: What's in a Name?
A mostly insiders-only debate about whether Iraq is in a state of civil war broke out into the open last week when two major news organizations announced that they would henceforth refer to the conflict as a civil war. According to polling in September by the Pew Research Center, much of the public had already reached that conclusion.
Iraq Looms Large in a Nationalized Election
A new poll finds dismay about U.S. military action in Iraq at its highest level since the war began and many voters say the issue will be primary in their ballot decisions come November. Resignation of Rep. Foley has little impact so far.
Democrats Hold Solid Lead; Strong Anti-Incumbent, Anti-Bush Mood
Voters view the coming elections through the prism of national issues and concerns
Voters Focus on Domestic Issues, Despite Crises Abroad
War in Lebanon, widening violence in Iraq and the foiled airline terror plot failed to produce big changes in attitudes toward Israel or President Bush while economic worries continue to dominate the voting agenda.
Americans' Support for Israel Unchanged by Recent Hostilities
A new Pew poll conducted July 6-19 finds little change in public sympathy for Israel in its dispute with the Palestinians, while Americans remain dissatisfied with the state of the nation and with the president's performance.
The U.S. Public's Pro-Israel History
A substantial plurality of the American public has been steadfast in its support for Israel as the intensity of armed conflict in the Middle East has waxed and waned through the years.
A Small Boost for Bush
Americans are more optimistic about the U.S. achieving its goals in Iraq.

If you are going to this place for a hot lunch, better get there BEFORE 2:00 PM. After that, they are already cleaning up, have run out of things to cook and are basically ready to CLOSE! It boggles the mind why this place stays open in the late afternoon when all they can offer is a toasted panini or a personal pizza that has been laying around all day. This plus the place needs SERIOUS UPDATING. The tables rock when you put your food on them and if you have a drink, you will probably end up wearing it if you are not careful. With all the new buildings going up and increased business, you'd think the owners of this place would put FIVE CENTS into the business. Instead, you are welcomed by a drab interior, outdated and defective furniture and a very limited food selection in the afternoon. Best bet: skip this place and go next door to Rosella's which has EXCELLENT food and very fast help. It does get busy there due to the Pace College crowd but turnover is fairly constant and it is worth the wait to have a good hot lunch for under $ 10.00. Skip Dante's unless a dull drab interior, broken furniture and a staff ready to go home at 2:00 PM suits you - then - - - - enjoy!! :-(

This place is great. It's a block away from my school and it took me a while to discover this place. But let me tell you, their breakfast buffet special is wonderful! I had excellent fresh French Toast (they made it in front of me) and eggs with home fries and crepes on the side. The whole thing came under $2 and it comes with coffee or tea on the side. The staff is really friendly, but their English isn't so great so its tough to tell them specifically what you want. But great place.

This place was great when was openning. dante has decent food but it is so unbelievably slow that it is not worth it. Sadly it is one of the few food places in the area.
Posted by Katie on 06/25/2007
When my kebab and salad were delivered–both the woman who took my order and the man who delivered it were so kind that I'll forgive the slowness–I was unimpressed at first, but from the moment I took a bite of my chicken, I was in love. It was swimming in some sort of herby, spicey juice, and the huge chunks were very filling. More delicious than what I usually pay $10 or $12 for.
Posted by Doc on 01/12/2007
Quality Declining, Poor delivery service. The quality of the food was great when Dante first opened, what happened?! Unfortunately, like another reviewer stated, the delivery service is is not good; it takes forever for the food to get here (>45 minutes for a1 block delivery) and warm food is already cold. Today's chicken sandwich was topped with dried and old cheese not to mention sour mayonnaise. I'm disappointed.
Posted by satisfied customer on 08/11/2006
I recently discovered Dante's a few blocks away from my office. I usually select items from the cold salad bar or order an individual pizza. I find the ingredients to be fresh, nice healthy selection and the prices very reasonable compared to other cafes in the area. Keep up the good work!
Posted by Womble on 05/11/2006
The food is superbly cooked, especially the fish. One my favorite food item is the eggplant lasagna. The young hostess is very informative and a delight to talk to. Delivery is very good and timely.

EPR Review
Full review coming soon…
Upright Exercise Bikes help you burn more calories than recumbent exercise bikes. While recumbent bikes can be more comfortable and be a good choice for those with lower back problems they don't burn as many calories. If you are going for pure cardio and calories burning then choose an upright exercise bike. If you have lower back problems and want to burn calories, but not concerned about burning them faster then a recumbent exercise bike is a good choice.
Pros for Exerpeutic Folding Magnetic Upright Bike with Pulse Reviews
- Great craftsmanship and the best quality for a bike in the$100-$150 range

Arts: Seattle Opera Explores Marriage and The Ring
Figaro! Figaro! Figaro! You have two performances left to catch Seattle Opera's The Marriage of Figaro before it ends this Saturday. Mozart's Figaro remains one of the most performed operas in America and is a great choice for opera newbies. The music is gorgeous and it's the type of enchanting romantic comedy that would be perfect for Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts!
Figaro is the second in a trilogy of operas (including The Barber of Seville and The Guilty Mother). It is akin to a Shakespearean comedy of errors with every character romantically entangled with another (or two!) and, of course, lots of mistaken identities and cross-dressing.
The entire opera charts the course of one day as Figaro's and Susanna's walk down the aisle is constantly derailed. Their benefactor, the Count, lusts after Susanna, Figaro is possibly engaged to another woman (who might be his mother!) and numerous other affairs ensue. The grand finale in the garden is great fun as everyone hides under the cover of night playing an elaborate espionage game of love. It's a testament to the need for pre-marriage counseling! Figaro is charming and a fantastic showcase for Seattle Opera's outstanding sets, costumes and casting.
In other Seattle Opera happenings: In August, Seattle Opera will be staging the Super Bowl of all operas, Wagner's The Ring (the full Ring experience is over 17 hours of opera spanning four days). The Seattle Opera is looking for that special opera newbie to attend and then share their experiences in a 10-minute documentary. For anyone who falls into the 18-30-year age range, use Figaro as your launching pad to enter the contest, aptly named "Confessions of a First Time Opera Goer Project". The deadline to apply is May 22 and more information is available at seattleopera.org.

Biometric ePassport is Cloneable – How it happened, who will benefit, and how hard will it be to counterfeit these things.Mar 17th, 2010 | By Innovya follow-up | Category: News
The EU's own working group FIDIS (the "Future of Identity in the Information Society" research network) said safeguards on the biometric ePassports with embedded Chip were too weak.
By: Michael Scott Moore | March 17, 2010 | 05:00 AM (PDT)
One detail from the assassination last month of a Hamas leader in Dubai should, at first glance, ease the minds of privacy experts. None of the hit team — widely suspected to be Israeli Mossad agents traveling under stolen identities — used newfangled biometric passports. The 11 members of the team traveling with falsified European identities, used old-fashioned, unchipped passports, according to Interpol.
Biometric passports were one of the most powerful and unobtrusive changes to international travel that the United States insisted on after Sept. 11, 2001. As a direct result of U.S. pressure, all EU governments introduced more-expensive passports after 2006 that included RFID microchips to broadcast basic personal information, including name and passport number, your photograph, your fingerprints, and (if it's been collected) a retina scan of your eye.
Washington demanded these passports from friendly countries that maintained visa-free travel agreements with the United States. To stay in the visa-waiver program, Washington said after 2001, friendly nations would have to upgrade their passports to high-tech, microchipped "ePassports" with machine-readable data.
The new documents belonged to what Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff once envisioned as "a worldwide system of tripwires," set off by personal data, "that make it easy for the vast amount of travelers to move along unimpeded but that make it dangerous and difficult for terrorists to do the same thing."
But they upset privacy experts who argued that RFID chips radiated unsecured personal details to the world, making it easy for criminals with a simple machine to read them. The EU's own working group FIDIS (the "Future of Identity in the Information Society" research network) said safeguards on the first biometric passports were too weak.
"By failing to implement an appropriate security architecture," the group wrote in 2006, "European governments have effectively forced their citizens to adopt new international Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTDs), which dramatically decrease security and privacy, and increase the risk of identity theft."
After 2006, both America and the EU gave "second-generation" e-passports a measure ofsecurity" though whether they're really a safe way to carry your data around will be a topic for a future column. The "Crypto Group" at Belgium's University Catholique de Louvain, says no, and Europol argues that the supposedly secure passports are still vulnerable to counterfeiting by "determined" criminals.
But it's significant that the team of assassins in Dubai who killed the Hamas commander, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, used old-fashioned passports. Any group willing to send an international hit team after a man would have to qualify as "determined," and Mossad, according to Victor Ostrovsky, a former Mossad officer interviewed recently on Australian radio, has a passport "factory" dedicated to making counterfeits. "They create various types of papers, every kind of ink," he said. "It's a very, very expensive research department."
So the new ePassports are possibly too much of a headache "for now" for such a sophisticated operation. But tests carried out by The Times of London in 2008 suggested that falsifying an ePassport wasn't complicated at all, so there could be another reason why Mossad might have avoided using biometric documents. Namely: The databases themselves might be vulnerable.
Jerusalem hasn't started to issue ePassports yet, and one argument used by their opponents in Israel is that an entire national database of personal details could be hacked and revealed wholesale to a government unfriendly to Israel — say, the United Arab Emirates. Then the border guards in that country would have a way of double-checking the identity of, say, a Mossad agent trying to enter. Then "every Israeli agent who gives his fingerprint at a biometric border control station is liable to be in danger of exposure," according to the Israeli paper Ha'aretz.
"The fear … is not unfounded," the paper continues. "A similar database, containing the identity details of Israeli citizens, was leaked a few years ago from the Interior Ministry and can be download today, for free."
But Rafi Eitan, an Israeli politician and former Mossad officer, believes the agency's intelligence talents will catch up. "By 2015 most countries will have moved over to biometric identification methods," he told Ha'aretz. But "… this will not affect the various intelligence activities in the future, because I assess that the organizations engaging in this will find suitable ways to overcome the difficulties "should there be any."
There may come a time, in other words, when you'll need the trappings of a government to do something as tricky as counterfeit a passport.

A student enrolled at McMurry University may also enroll in courses at either Abilene Christian University or Hardin-Simmons University. Courses taken through intercollegiate enrollment count toward degree requirements provided approval has been secured in advance from the student's academic advisor, chairman of department, Registrar's Office, and the Business Office.
Intercollegiate Enrollment can be beneficial to McMurry students in several ways. First, the other Abilene Universities offer majors not offered at McMurry. The number of fields of study available to McMurry students is enhanced through the intercollege program. Second, schedule conflicts can often be alleviated by enrolling in a course at one of the other universities. And, finally, some students use the intercollege program to broaden their exposure to instructors and other course offerings.
Courses taken through intercollegiate enrollment are considered a part of a regular semester's work and are averaged in with courses taken at McMurry. Courses taken through intercollege enrollment are considered in figuring eligibility for the Dean's List and the Dean's Honor Roll, as well as probation and suspension status. Students who enroll in the intercollege program assume responsibility for the charges incurred at participating institutions.
Federal financial aid regulations dictate that no more than one-fourth of hours attempted may be completed at other than the home institution.

Vancouver Report - Tojo's Or NOT Tojo's
- t
- Tha Groovin' Gourmet
After our amazing meal at West we were really looking forward to our sushi extravaganza at Tojo's the following night. Having previously confirmed our reservation for the sushi bar (and confirming that we wanted the $125 per head omakase), we arrived on time for our 8:30 seating. The place was hopping, and the small sushi bar was packed, the centerpiece in a hustling, bustling restaurant.
We were greeted by a shaved head young man, gave him our name and reservation time, and he scribbled a "#1" on a sticky note and stuck it on my wife's hand with a smile. He then proceeded to escort us past the sushi bar to a small, barely padded bench along a wall just off a service vestibule.
He quickly disappeared without even asking us if we wanted a drink. Next thing we know a party of five (drinks in hand) was escorted to the same area, forcing me to slide down, my broad, American butt now with even less space on the small and increasingly uncomfortable bench.
After about 15 minutes our greeter came by and we reminded him that we had a reservation at 8:30 for the full omakase, the lovely Denise asking specifically how much longer we would have to wait. Shaved boy muttered something unintelligible and went off yakking up the sushi bar guests, all of whom were obviously well-ensconced in the middle of their meals.
Another 10 minutes sitting, still with no drink orders taken and no perceivable progress at the sushi bar, and my jaw was starting to clench up. What kind of restaurant so thoroughly ignores a party that is planning on dropping upwards of $300 for dinner?
Not the kind of restaurant we choose to patronize. We up and left after stewing for a few more minutes, passing several staff members on the way out, none of whom even bothered to say anything.
I had noticed Earl's from our cab and remembered some 'hounds making positive comments, so we walked a few blocks back up Broadway where we were promptly and warmly greeted and seated by the lovely young Scottish lass manning the outside reservation desk.
We proceeded to enjoy the next several hours with good drink, good food and good service, for less than the cost that one of us would have dropped up at Tojo's.
As we had sushi on the mind we ordered their bento box appetizer, along with the fried baby calamari.
The bento was very nice...dynamite shrimp rolls were delicious, as were the togarashi shrimp with their strong grill flavor. There was a lovely chunk of sweet-glazed salmon as well as a handful of edamame to enjoy.
The calamari appy was just as good...nicely fried up in a light, tempura-like batter, sided with a tangy tzatziki sauce. We asked for a second ramekin of sauce and happily popped squid bits in our mouths with the bento box chopsticks.
As the appetizers were pretty sizable, we opted to split a bacon cheddar burger for dinner. We were disappointed to find that the kitchen would not cook the burger anyway except medium well, but our server assured us the burgers were big, moist and flavorful. He was right...the half-pound patty had a nice beefy flavor and was perhaps only a bit on the dry side. Fortunately they dress their burgers with a "rustic onion mayo" that was to die for...ended up asking for more so we could have it with our fries, prepared extra crisp as requested.
After polishing off the burger we went for the Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert. The vanilla ice cream, housed in a hardened toffee shell, was deelish. The accompanying chocolate cake with fudge sauce was a bit on the pedestrian side, and was left unfinished. Along with a couple of yummy coffee drinks, we wound up very pleased with our decision to leave Tojo's, and headed back into downtown to catch the midnight comedy show at YukYuk's.
Tojo's is obviously surviving on their reputation, with many patrons choosing to put up with the totally lame service in order to avail themselves of what is supposed to be the best sushi in town. We could not care less...it is just bait after all is said and done. Any restaurant with a $125 prix fixe offering should understand that service is just as important as the room and the food for customers willing to drop that kind of coin. Tojo's obviously doesn't get it, and as such will never get any of our Vancouver vacation dollars.
Given Vancouver's reputation for sushi, we'd appreciate hearing from you Canuckhounds as to some other estimable sushi bars for our next visit.
Next time - NOT TOJO'S. When have been to Tojo's once nad only once and it has never crossed out mind to go back. The food was very good - however there is something to be said about good food and a good atmosphere make the meal. Tojo's is lacking atmosphere - very out dated decore & Tojo himself has a very large head...thinks he is the best and only the best.
There is a 'gem' of a sushi place (should probably not talk it up too much or else every chowhound will be there...) however, it is called AJI SAI and is located in Kerrisdale on West 42 near Arbutus. Is is a wonderful little sushi bar, and little it is - it seats maybe 20 people. There is no kitchen - by this I mean it is SUSHI ONLY - nothing is cooked nor deepfried, the way a sushi restaurant should be. The menu has a ton to choose from, something for everyone. The prices are very good, but it is more about the quality and the freshness and the atmosphere.....oh just talking about it make me want to go eat there. The service is great, very Japanese so how could it not be. So next time you are in town GO!!!!
Note it is closed on Mondays. And do not take reservations - they open for lunch at 11:45 - 2 and dinner is served from 5pm on. I would go when they open as there is normally a line by about 6pm.
re: Tha Groovin' Gourmet
Well I will be the voice of dissent and say I've been to Tojo's twice in the last cpl months and can't get enough of it. Granted I haven't sat at the sushi bar, sat outside on the patio with the gorgeous view both times. The sushi is the best I've ever had, hands down. I can't say enough about how great that place is. I think maybe those who don't sit with mr. tojo have the better experience, the wait staff is always friendly and helpful.
First time we did omakase and second time just ordered like mad from the menu.
I know that Tha Groovin Gourmet travels a lot and eats in a lot of fine establishments, based on his reports on other Chowhound pages.
That he'd have such complimentary things to say about Earl's, which we Vancouverites think of as a slightly-better-than-average eatery, speaks very clearly about the quality of cuisine we have on offer here in Vancouver and BC in general.
So, Groovin', don't forget to come back and visit Vancouver Island as well. And share your informative reports as well. Thanks for taking the time.
re: galluping_grmay
You betcha!
We loved our 2 days in the city and our repositioning cruise (HAL rocks!)
We're already talking about catching another cruise on the flipside, and would gladly do the same itinerary again, with perhaps a couple of more days in Vancouver next time.
As for Earl's, the overall vibe was SOOOOOO much better than Tojo's,
and the food was solid. Given what we went through down the street
both me and missus felt it was a good call.
I would totally agree with your assessment...we came away feeling
that Vancouver is a helluva 'hound town.
re: galluping_grmay
not to be a smartass, but Earls' newfound quality come from its executive chef, Michael Noble, who devises menues out of Earls' test kitchen at its Dalhousie location in CALGARY. Noble did not move to Vancouver when he left Catch, even though this has been misreported here and on eGullet. So Earls says nothing, really, about Vancouver cuisine. Its menu is the same in Calgary (and Edmonton and Winnipeg, etc etc).
Try Yoshi in Denman for the best sushi I've had in Vancouver.
re: Buddha Belly
Who's comparing? My post was merely a retelling of an evening's chow quest.
Tojo's screwed up, Earl's got my business instead. Plain and simple.
re: tha Groovin' Gourmet
I did not read it as a comparison, how he read it as a comparison is beyond me. I read 2 reviews here, one for Tojo's , and one for Earl's , yes, within one post, but that was because of the situation, totally understandable.
Try Toshi on W.16th Ave, around the corner of Main St. in Vancouver. Very packed, small place, yet great service. Only open for dinner though, no reversation, and you feel a little pressure of leaving soon after the meal, as there are always a long line of waiting patrons outside, on weekends, and sometimes even on weekdays.
If you can go to Gilford area on Surrey, which is a bit far out for most people, then Hanako is a great little best kept secret. Very small place, family run (and serve). Excellent sashimi plate. Not a lot of cook food on menu, but good enough. Highlight: Sashimi Deluxe combo, blue-fin sashimi, aji sashimi, Hanako carashi.
These 2 replaced Kiyo in Richmond as one of my favourite sushi restaurants.
re: fortissimo
Thanks for backing me up, and for the tips.
Both sound like places worth trying, though it
may take a couple of trips to get them both in!
re: Buddha Belly
I'm a little late on this thread as I just discovered chowhound.com (and am loving it!)... just had to put in my 2 cents worth on Tojo's.
I've lived in Vancouver my whole life. I've also travelled and eaten extensively my entire adult life... I don't understand Tojo's rep. It's just not that good! And to compare it to Matsuhisa!!!
I've had sublime meals at Matsu/Nobu globally (almost monthly at Matsu) and sometimes the food was just good. But I've eaten at Tojo's 3 times in 8 years and it was all mediocre food, mediocre service at best, no atmosphere... and way overpriced for the experience. Just my opinion...
We were spending 3 nights in Vancouver, and after reading some very positive reviews about Tojo's on Chowhound and other sources, we decided that one of our dinners would be there. All in all, I must say that Tojo's was a great disappointment. First and foremost, I feel that the tasting menu did not focus enough on sashimi or sushi. Second, while the dishes were tasty, the only real ace up Tojo's sleeve seemed to be his use of yuzu. Yuzu is a wonderful and mild citrus that brightens dishes, but its repeated use leaves one uninspired. Third, the service was sub par relative to the price. The interval between dishes on the 5-course tasting menu was rushed, so we had to intentionally slow down our pace so that we wouldn't be out of there in less than 45 minutes. Near the end of our meal, one waitress even tried to politely "force" us to finish our sushi plate. And while a jovial atmosphere is appreciated, some waiters took it a little too far, making the restaurant seem more like an informal izakaya (Japanese "tapas"). I'm a huge fan of izakayas, but not if I'm going to spend over $100. If the service was better, I could have excused its lackluster décor and location.
Overall, we forked over $130 CD per head, including drinks, but we feel that our money would have been better spent had we ordered one or two of his signature dishes and a sashimi omakase for the six of us. I felt that the tasting menu was pushed really hard, saying that the dishes defined Chef Tojo. As mentioned above, the dishes were tasty but nothing inspirational. The catches of the day were highlighted as being top-notch and the implication was that some of the dishes on the tasting menu would contain these items, but I don't recall any of our dishes having the high quality blue-fin tuna they so raved about. I am confident that our experience would be far superior if we asked our local sushi chef in San Francisco (Murasaki, for example) for a similarly priced omakase. While not having sampled the full extent of Vancouver's restaurants, I find it hard to believe that Tojo's is the best restaurant in town. Personally, I would not recommend Tojo's to a friend, given that we walked out feeling that our money was not well spent.
During my next visit to Vancouver, I will most definitely sample other Japanese restaurants. On the other hand, I would most definitely go back to Guu with Garlic (on Robson) since we have a very enjoyable and authentic Japanese experience there. Three of six of us in our party have lived in Tokyo for over 10 years, and each of us was delighted to eat at Guu.
My uncle swears by Shijo for good japanese sushi / sashimi.
It's a bit pricey, and i think they had a switchover. I've gone to Tojo's three times. The first time I thought it was amazing. I think the food's been good each time, though the surprise of the omakase seems to have gone down since the first time i've been there. Though it is true what they say about the decour. The waiters / waitresses have always been really friendly to me.
Try Shijo instead ?

Join Jeff Bartels as he covers the most important features of this industry-standard drafting and design application in AutoCAD 2011 Essential Training. This course begins with a tour of AutoCAD's interface and the tools used to create basic shapes. It then focuses on the methods used to modify and refine geometry while emphasizing accuracy and good habits to build a solid design foundation. The course covers using layers, line types, and colors to organize a drawing file and explains how to efficiently annotate a design and prepare it for final output. Throughout the title, Jeff shares industry techniques used in production and reinforces concepts using practical examples. Exercise files are included with the course.
Once we decide we need to create some layers, the place we want to visit is the Layer Properties Manager. This is our one stop shop for creating and managing the layers in our drawing. As you can see I have just launched my AutoCAD 2011, and I am sitting in the default Drawing file. I am going to open the Layer Properties Manager by moving up to the Layers panel and clicking this icon. The first thing we notice is that the Layer Properties Manager is huge. Fortunately, this guy is a palette, so if I were to move my cursor out, it will collapse.
Since we are going to be focusing on the manager for a little while, I am going to move my cursor back to open this up and I will click the Auto-hide button to turn that feature off. This way the palette will stay open until such time as I move up and click this X to close it. First of all, take a look at the top of the palette. This is where AutoCAD tells us the name of the current layer. Any geometry that I create will be drawn on the Current layer. in this case, it's layered zero (0). Over here to there right, I can see a listing of all of the layers in my drawing as well as their settings, since this is the default drawing I only have one layer, just layer zero (0).
In fact, layer zero is kind of a special layer, every AutoCAD drawing starts with layer zero and you can not rename or delete this layer. Every AutoCAD drawing has to have a layer zero. Let's take a look at the layer settings. These guys are arranged in columns, just like Microsoft Excel and sometimes the columns are wide enough to read the headings. To widen these up, you can click and hold in between the columns and you can drag these out to make them whatever width you like. Better yet, if you right-click on a column heading, you can come down and select Maximize all columns such that you can read all of the header information.
Now this does make the columns take up more space, so you may have to come down here and click and hold down this slider and drag it to the left or right such that you can see all of your settings. To change your layer setting, all you have to do is click on it. For instance, I am going to click this first icon. This light bulb turns the layer on and off. If I click this, AutoCAD brings up a warning. It says, hey, you are turning the Current layer off, do want to do that? In this case, yes, I do. So I will click to accept this option, and if I had any geometry on this layer, that geometry would no longer be visible on screen.
I am going to click the light bulb to turn this layer back on, and let's take a look at this setting. Color, this controls the color of my layer. If I click this Color swatch, it brings up AutoCAD's color selector where I can choose from any one of 255 standard color choices. I am going to leave this set to the default of white and I will click OK. Let's take a look at this setting, Linetype. This controls the appearance of my geometry. Is it going to look like a solid continuous line or is it going to be broken up into various sizes to dashes? I am going to click to make an adjustment and AutoCAD brings up the select Linetype dialog box, from here I can select from any of the Linetypes that are loaded in to the current drawing.
Right now I only have the one lint type continuous. I am going to come down and select Load, and from this menu I can choose from any of the line types that come pre-installed with AutoCAD 2011. As an example, I will select a Linetype and click OK to load it into my drawing. At this point if I wanted to, I can select the Linetype and click OK to assign it to a layer. But I am going to leave layer zero (0 ) set to the default if continuous, so I will just click OK. Finally, let's take a look at Lineweight.
I am going to click this to make it change. this brings up the Lineweight dialog box. From here I can select a line thickness that I want the geometry on this layer to have when my drawing is plotted. Now we will talk more about Lineweights when we get in to our chapter o plotting. For right now I am going to leave this set to the default, and I will click OK. Let's create a new layer. To do that I will click the new layer icon then I will give my layer a name, I am going to call this part, and I will press Enter. I will come down and click the Color swatch, and I am going to make this layer yellow, and I will click OK.
Finally, I will set this layer Current. To do that I will ensure the layer is selected and then I will click this green check. Notice we can see the current layer reflected here. I am going to click the X to close the manager, and as a side note, notice that we can also see the current layer name here. I am going to create some geometry and notice how the circle is taking on the appearance of the layer settings. This circle appears yellow, because the layer that it's sitting on is yellow. In fact, anything that I create in this layer will assume the properties of the layer. Let's make a change.
I a going to click the icon to bring back the Layer Properties Manager, and let's say I would like to change the name of this layer. To do that I will click the layer to select it, and then I will click again to get access to the name, and may be this layer was supposed to be called object, I will press Enter to accept that, and then I will click the Color swatch and let's make this magenta and I will click OK and then I will close the manager. Notice how my geometry had taken on the new layer settings. I am going to create another new layer. I will click the New layer icon.
And I would like to create a layer for my hidden lines. So I will call this layer hidden lines and I will press Enter. Now unfortunately the layer name is being truncated, because the column width isn't wide enough, so I am going to click in between these columns and I will drag this over a little bit and then I will change the color of this layer. I will make it Cyan and I will click OK. Then I will come down and click on the Linetype setting, I will select Load. As long as I am here, notice that several of the Linetypes at the top of those list start with ACAD_ISO.
If you are working with imperial measurements, stay away from these Linetypes, because these guys are pre-scaled for metric use. I am going to come down to the hidden lines area, notice I have three choices. The difference between these guys is the size of the dashes. I will select the standard hidden line (HIDDEN) type, and click OK. This loads it in to the current drawing. I will then select it and click OK to assign it to my layer. Finally, I will set this layer Current by clicking the green check, I will close the manager and I will create some more geometry, this time I will create a rectangle.
Once again, since my rectangle was created on the hidden lines layer, it's taking on those properties. Let's set layer at zero (0) Current, here is a shortcut, a really quick way we can set a layer current is by simply double clicking on the layer name. I will close the manager and now everything that I create is being drawn on layer zero (0). I would like to do one more thing, I am going to launch the Erase command and I will select this geometry and right-click. Essentially, I have just erased everything on the object layer.
Let's bring back the manager and take a look at the icons in the Status column. Notice the icon next to the object layer is grayed out, that tells me that there is nothing on this layer, and at this point I could ask myself if I really need this layer. If not, I can select this and click this red x to delete it. Whenever you are adding geometry to your drawing, ask yourself, does this geometry need to be a particular Linetype or Lineweight? Is this something I may want to turn off when I print my drawing? If your answer is yes, you will want to visit the Layer Properties Manager and create a new layer.

Philippines economy grows 1pct in first half: govt
Government spending on construction helped boost the Philippines economy, officials said Thursday, adding that growth in the second quarter had put Manila in striking distance of its full-year target.
Data showed the economy expanded 1.5 percent year-on-year in the three months to June, which although down from the 4.2 percent recorded in the same period last year, was up from a revised 0.6 percent in the first quarter.
The government said the figures showed that while many of the Southeast Asian nation's neighbours remained mired in recession, the Philippines continued to achieve growth.
"Our economy is expected to remain afloat, far from an economic recession," Economic Planning Secretary Augusto Santos told a news conference.
In the first six months the economy expanded 1.0 percent year-on-year, down from the 3.8 percent seen at the same point in 2008.
However, Manila said it was now close to being able to hit its full year growth target of between 0.8 and 1.8 percent.
"With the coming election spending and Filipinos' penchant for Christmas spending, 1.8 percent (GDP growth), I think is possible," Santos told reporters, referring to spending for the May 2010 national elections.
Growth was helped by improving exports, which are key to the economy. Although shipments in June fell 24.7 percent year-on-year, they have been steadily rising and were 10.4 percent higher than the previous month.
The government also put aside 330 billion-pesos (6.75 billion-dollars) in its 2009 budget to pay for various projects to boost spending at home.
Construction, government spending and a modest recovery in personal consumption led to 3.1 percent growth in the services sector in the second quarter.
However, agricultural growth slowed to 0.3 percent and manufacturing contracted 0.3 percent.
Security Bank economist Patrick Elia told AFP he expected a bounce in the second quarter, adding: "We have seen a bottom in the second quarter and this is merely a reflection of the recovery.
"Consumption is up and really hammers the point that this is a real recovery and we should see it continue as we roll into the third and fourth quarters," said Elia, who estimates consumption accounts for at least 75 percent of GDP.
Personal consumption rose 2.2 percent from a year earlier in the second quarter, up from a 1.3 percent clip in the first quarter.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, gross domestic product (GDP) grew 2.4 percent in the first quarter after a 2.1 percent contraction in the previous three months.
However despite the upbeat figures, the per capita GDP fell 0.5 percent to about 937 dollars.
Dennis Arroyo, a senior economic planning ministry official, said many Filipinos had previously stopped spending through fear that many of the country's 8.7 million overseas workers could be affected by job losses as a result of the global slump.
However, with key labour hosting nations such as Taiwan hiring foreign workers again, he said "the fear is abating", helping boost consumption at home.
This month the central bank said a record 1.5 billion dollars was sent back in June, up 3.3 percent year-on-year, adding that it expected its foreign workforce to pump around 16 billion into the economy by the end of the year.

Recipe by thecookiejar
"A creamy, chocolatey breakfast treat minus the fat and excessive sugar. Tastes like tiny chocolate teddy bears! If porridge is too thick or oats are uncooked, add more boiling water to it till cooked and desired thickness reached. Serve with a splash of cold milk."

1/3 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup
hot water
2 cups
1/8 teaspoon
1 cup
steel cut oats
5 tablespoons
I made this exactly according to recipe, only folding in one chopped banana and serving with a float of whole milk on top. The kids split this between them. I did not try it myself but they loved it. My oldest boy asked for seconds. Next time, I'll double the recipe.
I followed the recipe exactly and did not care for it. It was not nearly sweet enough for me. I added some shredded coconut and Splenda, which helped; however, I do not plan to make it again.
8 Ratings
I made this according to directions, with the exception that I realized as I began to make it that I only had old-fashioned oats rather than steel-cut. So the cooking time was quite a bit shorter. The flavor was very good, really like good rich hot chocolate with oatmeal in it. Very nice, will make it again.
Very tasty and chocolaty. I used a mixture of old fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, and oat bran, and used half 2 percent and half almond milk. I Also reduced the sugar to about about 3 tablespoons and it was very chocolaty, tasty, and great with a bit of yogurt. It had the perfect consistency after about 5 minutes. Dad and I liked it, my sister needed more sweetener. Great oatmeal!
I used old fashioned oats and I like my oatmeal chewy so I doubled the oats. Yummy!
Sorry to say, I'll have to just give this a 3-star "It was OK" rating.
I made it exactly as written, except I cooked it for about 20 minutes, until thickened enough. It turned out to be like a hot, runny chocolate pudding, mixed with steel-cut oats. Not that I don't like both dishes separately, but the combination just seemed a bit weird. I ate it all, for three consecutive breakfasts, but I probably won't be making this again. Just a personal taste thing, I guess.
This was my first experience using steel cut oats. I did have to add more water and cook longer, as the submitter said we might. I'm thinking the honey didn't flavor or sweeten to my personal preference, so I ended up adding a splash of my favorite flavored liquid coffee creamer. I kept trying to figure this recipe out, so with the last few bites, I added a small dollop of Cool Whip and decided this would make a better "healthy" dessert than breakfast.

American Forces Press Service
BAGHDAD, Iraq, July 24, 2005 Iraqi police say at least 40 Iraqi civilians were killed and more than two dozen others were wounded today when a car bomb exploded at a market area near the front gate of the Al-Rashid police station here, military officials reported.
Iraqi Police and Army units secured the station after the mid-afternoon attack, officials said.
An explosive ordnance disposal team on the site reported the suicide bomber used a semi truck loaded with 500 pounds of explosives. The blast also destroyed 18 Iraqi citizens' vehicles and damaged the police station and neighboring houses.
The commander of coalition forces in eastern Baghdad noted that the response of Iraqis the wake of the attack demonstrates their resolve to stand firm against the terrorists in their communities.
"The resolve of the Iraqi security forces remains firm," said Army Col. Joseph DiSalvo. "In the face of a horrific crime, the ISF is here to care for the wounded, console the grieving and evacuate the dead. The terrorists do everything they can to destroy the people, but the ISF and the Iraqi government is here to help. It is the responsibility of all Iraqis to turn in the terrorists.
"Most importantly," the colonel continued, "I saw numerous Iraqi civilians join the ISF at the scene to provide as much aid as they could. They carried Iraqi dead away to the chant 'Allah, Akbar! Allah, Akbar! (God is great!).' It is clear to me the people know who their enemy is, and their resolve will never be shaken."
DiSalvo said an Iraqi man expressed resolve against the terrorists and hope for his country's future. "The more devils that disappear, the easier it is for the angels," the Iraqi man told the colonel.
"This is my community," a police officer who lives near the station said. "The terrorists have killed my friends and my neighbors. Why do the terrorists kill our people? We only want peace."

Senior Ben Thomas set the all-time career record for homers at Xavier in 2011.
June 3, 2011
CINCINNATI -- With the 2011 baseball season officially in the books, Xavier head coach Scott Googins has had time to reflect on what was, by all accounts, another successful season for the Musketeers.
"I think it was a great year," said Googins. "Obviously I'm disappointed with the way it ended but I'm very proud of our team. I thought we had great team chemistry and I don't think we underachieved but we didn't accomplish some of our goals. Overall though, it was a good season."
The Musketeers had much to be proud of in 2011. XU marked its fifth-straight 20-win season and its second 30-win season in three years with a 30-27 record in 2011. The Musketeers also made their sixth-straight appearance in the Atlantic 10 Tournament.
Senior first baseman Ben Thomas blasted 15 home runs in 2011 which put him in first place all-time at Xavier in homers (44). Fellow senior John McCambridge set the single-season record for hits (86) and moved into second place all-time in career hits with 256. Their performances earned Thomas an Atlantic 10 Player of the Year nod and a First-Team All-Conference honor for both student-athletes.
"I don't know if you're going to be able to replace any of those guys, but it's going to open up opportunities for the young guys," said Googins. "The seniors came in when the program started turning around. They have their fingerprints all over the record books but more importantly they're the kind of guys who do it on the field and the classroom. It's always emotional at the end of the season because you're not going to have that group of guys anymore."
Xavier also saw great contributions from its underclassmen. Freshmen, second baseman Selby Chidemo and right fielder Brian Bruening, earned their way into the XU starting lineup. Sophomore Seth Willoughby contributed well by posting a career-high five home runs and set a third-best XU season mark with nine saves.
Willoughby earned success in the classroom as well, as he joined McCambridge on the Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference team.
Sophomore starting pitcher Jon Richard and redshirt freshman starter Vinny Nittoli also provided solid performances in 2011. Richard went 5-5 with a 3.76 ERA while Nittoli earned a 7-1 record with a 3.75 ERA.
Because of their outstanding freshman seasons, Bruening and Nittoli both earned a spot on the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team.
"I think getting experience will really help our young guys next season," said Googins. "Getting to see what it takes to win at this level will hopefully make them hungrier this fall. It was also good for them to watch our seniors, who were great role models for them."
Early in the season, XU tied a school record with nine-straight wins including taking two-of-three against nationally ranked Louisville.
"Early on we had some great success in the non-conference schedule, which we hadn't had in the past," said Googins. "The Fordham game at the end of the regular season was a game to remember. I didn't think that it would go 14 innings though, and taking two out of three at Louisville was big for us as well."
With such a young class returning for 2012, Googins is interested to see what next season will bring.
"It should be an interesting fall for us," said Googins. "There are a lot of open slots and we'll have a lot of competition to fill them.

Spotify Has Star Trek Soundtracks And We've Got Invitations To Give Out!
So, the new craze on the interwebs seems to be this new-fangled service called Spotify. It's similar to other available services like Rdio & MOG, but from our experience has much better selections of titles. Unfortunately for now, Spotify is invite only. We've been waiting a long time for the service to jump the pond from Europe and it was well worth the wait. If your not familiar with Spotify; it's a music streaming service that allows you to pick the tracks / albums / artists that you want to listen to as well as create and share playlists. Users can register either for free accounts supported by ads or for paid subscriptions without ads and with a range of extra features like higher bitrate streams and offline access to music.
