Tony Todd was fortunate enough to land two good roles on Star Trek; one as Kurn, the brother of Worf, and the other as an older version of Jake in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's The Visitor.
The role of older Jake in The Visitor was special and even in grief, Todd recognized that. "The story behind my doing it is that the woman who raised me, my aunt, was a single woman, and she'd passed away at the beautiful age of eighty-two. I'd just finished Candyman 2 and it devastated me because she was a person I talked to every day. Fortunately, she was able to see some of the beginnings of my success. But I was in a state of shock and I wasn't able to work for four months.

Continuing Education Blog
PNCA offers evening and weekend classes for adults and young people. For adults we offer courses in art, craft, and design, as well as professional development classes. For children we have Saturday classes during the school year and week-long camps during the summer. In addition to our regular teen classes, we also offer immersive summer Pre-College Studios. Our blog below gives you an idea of some of the goings on, and you can see our full course catalogue online here.
Ukulele Class Four
Class four was all about the interior structure-the kerf binding and bracing, both the back and soundboard.
Reverse Kerfing
With the sides in the mold, we added the kefing pieces, which were pre-cut from mahogany. Using water and a heat gun, the were formed into the approximate shape, glued along the edges of the sides and clamped into place. The reverse kerfing will give the uke a solid structure and help it hold its shape.
While the kerfing dried, work began on making the bracing for the back.
The bracing is made from 1/4 inch strips of spruce. The majority of the rest of the class was cutting and shaping the bracing and thickness sanding the soundboard and back in preparation for gluing in the bracing.
Next week- Gluing the bracing, sanding the body and more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gabriel Perfect Great for extending placements or just building anchors. Always good to have a few of these laying around March 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mike 100% satisfied! overall completely satisfied! i find these perfect for building and equalizing anchor points. they're made of a soft nylon webbing which makes them very easy to undo after an abseil. i also like the date of manufacture printed on the label, it makes it easier to determine the retirement of the product. i would like to see rabbit runners also, they are extremely versatile and easy to use. February 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Edward Nylon Runners Great quality as always. Glad Black Diamond has added the year of manufacture to the label so you will always know how old they are (I like to toss webbing items after 7 years) December 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Justin Simple/strong/versatile Smaller and stronger than webbing. Rated at 22Kn compared to webbing 17Kn without a knot tied into it. It is a little less abrasion resistant than webbing. Great for building anchors as well as QuickDraw extensions. September 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gary Nice i bought these runners for setting up my extended rappel system. i found them easy to tie and untie after being knotted and weighted. July 6, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eric great price These are the softest nylon runners I have ever used. That allows them to be tied into any knot you need. They also grab the rope well when used as a ascender with prusik knots. Seem to wear as well as stiffer nylon runners too. December 20, 2013

Kāshān, also spelled Kashan, city, west-central Iran. It lies in a desert at the eastern foot of the Central Iranian Range, on a once-important caravan route. It is also on the southeastern branch of the Trans-Iranian Railway. Kāshān is an ancient city; 2 miles (3 km) southwest is the site of prehistoric Tepe Sialk, which yielded the most ancient remains of settled life so far found on the Iranian plateau. Kāshān was the centre of Persian ceramics, producing decorated pottery and glazed tiles exported throughout the Near East. Its lustrewares were especially famous. Its woolen and silk carpets are among Iran's finest, but modern industrial development is modest. Pop. (2006) 253,509.

I also have two, male and female. While they are wonderful companions and highly intelligent, they are not easily trained and tend to be extremely independent. They are runners, by nature (obviously), and are excellent at tracking, hunting, etc. They refuse to fetch and can be really mischevious!

They are tough, medium sized, protective and not prone to problems that the big dogs get. Some are great, some are too aggressive. You need to screen the dog well. They were originally cattle herding dogs, so they are fearless, so much a "go fot the throat" dog, but they sure can keep an enemy off guard long enough for you to take him out.

So this is the story of the story of how the Animal Rescue Team series came about. In the summer of 2007, my editor at Knopf and Crown Books for Young Readers, Nancy Hinkel, asked me if I'd like to propose a series idea. Before this, I had written what we call "'stand alone"' novels. A series—as I'm sure you know—is multiple books involving the same characters. Well, gee, that was like asking me if I wanted a frozen Snickers bar. (I love frozen Snickers' bars.).
Years ago, I had written a book called "The Kids' Guide to Wildlife Rehabilitation.&rdquo... Read More

Trip date: 02/19/2011Reported by: Eric Ryan
On Feburary 19th 2011 some Spokane Mountaineers and Stevens Peak Backcountry Coalition members did a ski tour to Boulder Basin with Forrest McCarthy from the Winter Wildland Alliance. Forrest is the public lands director for WWA. He was on a road trip visiting other groups in the Northwest who are working on issues related to preserving human powered winter activities. We were also joined on this tour by some members of the Montana Backcountry Alliance and Wildlands CPR. It was a great opportunity for us to show our fellow backcountry ski colleges the Boulder Basin/Stevens Peak area. We had a wonderful day of skiing and were able to explain some of the issues facing this unique area. The Lookout Pass ski area expansion and encroachment of the modern high-powered snow machines are two of the big issues we are concerned about.
The Spokane Mountaineers began propsing a non-motorized winter recreation area around Stevens Peak back in 2003. This included Boulder Basin, Lone Lake, Stevens Lake, Copper lake, and portions of the St. Regis Lakes basin. We have continued to request protection for this area from the governing land managers, however there has not been a clear direction for them to do anything. We have also been unsure of how to further proceed with our envisioned plan. Now with the Lookout Pass ski area looking to expand, it has brought the area to higher attention in the Forrest Service. The coming months (and years) will be a critical time for this area. I would encourage all of the Spokane Mountaineers to get involved in preserving the Stevens Peak area.
In the future, Forrest and the whole WWA team will be a big help in our winter conservation efforts. We also hope stay in contact with MBA and Wildands CPR to provide mutual support for the issues facing all of our organizations.
Note: See the link for below for more informaiton on the Stevens Peak Backcountry Coalition and some video from our ski tour.

Not recommended for Delivery
I tried delivery from this place. The delivery was sent very shabbily with some of the containers open and some curry spilling out. The food has an Indian Thai mix. It did not taste Thai at all. Tried the Massaman Curry and the taste was nothing like what a Massaman curry should taste like. The Pad Thai was average. The fried rice was fine. The Kung Pao was not good. The dumplings did not taste Thai nor Chinese and were too big. I would not recommend ordering delivery from Thai Ban.

Rising Thai food star
Unless youre a Thai food fan you wudntt have even genreally heard of this small quiet thai/chinese offering rest located at bandra pali naka. Though a small place with harldy around 6 tables the décor is pleasant to the eye & the staff is courteous. The Thai prik je & phad king rice is pretty good whilst the thai green curry & steamed is its forte. Dumplings are deliciously soft but need to be teamed up with the sweet chilli sauce/tangy peanut butter paste to enhance the flavor. Apart from their really good but mundane lemon/peach ice teas they even offer strawberry ones that I was quite happy with. Dishes not to expensive from the price point of view while the portion size is impressive. I still needs to work up its menu & taste to before it can be known as top notch thai rest of Mumbai. But its def a considered place amongst thai lovers.

Thai? Give me a break!
Went there a couple of months ago *dying* for a good red Thai curry. What we got instead was some mango flavored coco-based glop, with a single basil leaf floating in it like some huge favor. Told the waiter that the curry was mango-smelling and sweet. The same dish came back from the kitchen looking oilier and redder. So now we had mango-flavored coco-based glop with some illegal amounts of red chili sauce.
Please be warned, this restaurant does not serve authentic Thai food, but a very uninspired Indianized version of it.

Summer menu offerings
Munchkins Thai Ban
We didnt need another excuse to chow down on mangoes, but this one is valid. The Yum Mamuang sweet and spicy raw mango salad looks like the fun cousin of the raw papaya variant we see everywhere. Crunchy cashew nuts garnish the thinnest slivers semi-sweet raw mangoes tossed in a tangy light dressing and make for a filling summer bite.
We looked suspiciously at the Nam Manglak Rose flavoured Thai basil-seed-drink listed on the menu, but were pleasantly surprised with what finally arrived. A clear drink with mint, basil seeds and a little crushed ice, this one sported a subtle hint of rose flavouring instead of overwhelming your taste buds as most rose drinks tend to do.

Authentic Thai Cuisine
i was here a very long tym ago...so cnt review on lot of stuff.. i've been to many places claiming to serve thai food,,and most of them disappointed me except this!!..cant comment on the ambience and stuff as i dont remember...but yes...this is the place for a true thai cuisine lover!
not a good Thai place
We went here recently after reading few positive reviews but were disappointed. The food was stale, not fresh at all. We told the server about this and he agreed but did not do anything about it. He said its because the vegetables were chopped earlier in the day so they may not be fresh. Also the ambience is decent but what food it is if there are mosquito around your food

Total Disappointment!!!
Had been to THAIBAN last week with a friend reading good reviews on burrp...
The ambiance looked good as we entered just to find out that we were the only one to be there in the restaurant on a friday eve..... also the a/c's were switched off and it was hot in the restaurant, we had to specifically call the staff and ask them to switch it on...wow that was some start!!!
I must mention....The cook definitely had a taste for excess of salt in every dish we ordered that day!!
We ordered Veg Tom Yum soup.....and was disappointed as it was way to different from what I had expected TOM YUM to be and to top it we had excess salt.
Starters we had babycorn and mushroom satay which was delicious and it gave us some hope to order the main course.
Unfortunately the main course turned out to be the worst nightmare of my THAI experience....we had ordered a thai basic .....green veg thai curry ....which THAIBAN being a thai restaurant should be serving its best at.....
The thai curry was so salty that all it tasted was of salt.......we complained to the manager around and all he did was NODDED his head.....
The waiter had suggested for ginger mushroom rice with an affirmation that its their best combo with Green Thai curry....and we abide to order so....
The rice had absolutely no taste of ginger...in fact the rice had no taste at all...it was blend half cooked rice..... looks like the cook had no salt left to add in the rice after adding it in excess for the soup and thai curry!!
A total disappointment and injustice to THAI food...and would think twice about THAIBAN now....
Good food, good ambience
Been here a week back .. The food as described in the reviews here was great. We had only vegetarian and it was all good. The Thai Noodle Soup and the Nam Prik vegetarian starter were great. The green Thai curry was okay. The show stopper for the evening was the dessert. We had water chestnuts in coconut milk and that was amazing. It was a unique, refreshing and delicious dessert
One observation - we were seated outside, we felt that the service was slightly unattentive, despite only 5-6 tables being occupied. Maybe that should change
Else its a good place to try some soulful psuedo Thai food

Sawadika to Good Thai Food!
This restaurant has to be a hidden gem in the Queen of the suburbs. A group of 3, we decided to go there when we were recommended the food, and we were surely not disappointed!
Munchkins Thai Ban is tucked away in a lane off Pali Road; take a left at Basilico and right opposite the Gold's Gym entrance, it's easy to dismiss this place as ordinary. The seating isn't vast although the option to sit outdoors is available.
We went over the main course, and ordered portions of vegetarian as well as non veg, the items included Tom Yum soup, Thai curry (of course!), steamed rice, stir fry chicken for the meat lovers and steamed bread.
The food was really good, right from the flavouring of the soup to the taste of the curry on the rice and the way all the flavours just hit the mouth as soon as you take a bite. The added advantage (if the taste is just not enough!) was the portions that we received. I'd say it's comparable to 5 Spice up the road to an extent.
Drop by to this place when you get the chance, it's worth it ;)

Incredibly Sensational!
Food Quality: 5/5
Food Quantity: 5/5
Service: 4/5
Ambience: 4/5
Pricing: 5/5
We dropped by to enjoy our Sunday meal and celebrate a friends birthday. We couldnt have been more pleased and I mean it! Let me walk you through our experience
We decided to call for some juices 2 fresh coconut kernel juices (70/- each), 1 fresh lime soda (about 60/-) and an orange juice (65/-). They were served in slender tall glasses holding good portions of juices, may be over priced, but we loved it. (Total 265/-)
Our appetites were building and we chose to start off our grub calling for soups. The Tom Kha (Thai soup with coconut milk flavored with ginger and lemon grass) grabbed our attention instantaneously as weve never tried a coconut based soup. It was orange in color, the texture was between thick and thin, bamboo shoots were added for flavor, chicken cubes were generously served, the aromas filled the ambience and over powered the incense to the corners of the room. It was by far, the most ever captivating experience weve had over a soup. We didnt even make conversation with each other until we finished a little more than half from our bowls. I dont mean to dramatize the feeling, but it was our best soup weve ever tried out. I would insist on you trying the same; you wont regret it. (145/- soup. We had a 2/4; totaling the soup cost to 290/-)
Ok, so now that were done with the soup escapade; lets get to the starters. Satay Pla was the fish served with sticks though it, smothered with Schezwan sauce and finely chopped lentils and spring onions. It hits your mouth with a bang of rich red hot spicy flavor and if you prefer spicy food, youll love it just like we did! The plate comprised of 9 tall pieces; deliciously good! It was about 290/-
The Nam Prik Praw Kai was the 2nd starter we ordered. It was a chicken dish that had an elaborated distinguished description to it on the menu, but in our opinion, it resembled the ever famous beer buddy Crispy Fried Chicken. None the less, the quantity was excellent and we stuffed our faces with it! If Ive not mistaken, it costs about 230/-
Alright, so each of us consumed an entire juice, a good portion of soup, 2 starters yet we battled our minds and stooped into the Thai Ban Special Sea Food Platter. Theres 2 options mentioned in the menu, serves 2 was for 495/- and serves 4 for 995/- We decided we stick with the serves 2 rather than wasting the portion and we ordered a Khao Phad Kapprao (Spicy Thai Chicken Fried Rice with Basil and a Chicken gravy served along) that costs 150/-. The Sea Platter caused our jaws to drop! The large plate comprised of Squids, Crabs, Salmon and Prawns all richly cooked and served in Oyster Sauce. We even checked with the waiter if he heard us right (serves 2 NOT 4) as it was an incredibly enormous serving. We relished the meats whole heartedly, the squid tentacles were decoratively rolled in the platter, the crabs were broken a bit so we didnt have to struggle much, the salmon chunks were the size of my palm and the prawns were a medium to a big size. We ate as much as we could but yet wasted some of it. We managed to consume a few morsels of rice with gravy and had no alternative but to parcel up the rest. The rice was very detailed, the spices and vegetables were all evenly cut and it had a beautiful texture. The gravy was strikingly pungent (as per our request) and left us in a sweat. No complains though, we savored every bite.
As you can guess, our organs refused to co-ordinate any further with our wants and that brought our lunch to an end. Although we wanted a desert, we just had no room for even a sip of water. Our lunch bill entailing all of the exceptional dishes and delightful experience Ive described to you above, rounded up to 1748/- inclusive of taxes. Without* taxes, it was about 1570/-
Note: The menu attached on Burrp is not updated, there are many more dishes added and the pricing as you can guess, has obviously risen.
Before I sign off, would advice each one reading my review to drop in to Munchkins Thai Ban especially for the soup and the Platter. They were absolutely mind blowing. Management, you got yourselves 4 religious patrons!
Until next time,
Eateratti: Good food, worth a try
Visited Thai Ban on a sunday evening with a bunch of friends. A little about the tastes of the group that I was with, a couple of us weren't too fond of very spicy food, mild spicy worked, some thrived on really spicy food and some didnt enjoy excess of coconut .Why I mentioned this is because our ordering for the evening was super, as it catered to all the above likes and dislikes.Our plates saw Vegetables with Salt and Pepper and Nam Prik Praw Je for starters and Phad Thai Noodles,Gaeng Kiew Warn (spicy green curry), Gaeng Phed (mildly spicy red curry) and 2 portions of steam rice for the main course.The food was delicious and enjoyable, to know more http://eateratti.blogspot.com/2011/06/thai-ban-bandra.html

We were a group of friends who had visited munchkins thai-ban on saturday for lunch. Food was nice, good service but the quantity of food was very less comparing to price. We would like to thanks the manager and appreciate him for helping us to choose the menu which we all enjoyed.

Great Thai as well as Chinese food options!
Munchkins Thai-ban is a cozy little restaurant right beside Basilico, opp Golds Gym. I have been here about twice now and even though it isn't a favorite, there's something about the place that makes you want to go back :)
We chose to have the tom yum soup as a safe bet. Flavour wise, it was just about okay. I didnt like the fact that they put a whole lot of chopped vege's into the soup. Also it was a little too much on the lemony side.
For starters we tried the Satay Pla, which is fish-satay marinated in schezwan sauce & it was heavenly. The fish was fresh and well cooked.
Main course was the Khao Phad Kapprao. Now the description made it sound nice & spicy, but it actually tasted more like tangy tomato rice. I didn't mind the flavor but its a bit of a put-off when the actual dish doesn't quite seem anything like what is portrayed on the menu!
We chose to skip dessert as the available options didn't excite me much.
Quantity wise, one dish is more than enough for two. Also considering the portions, I would say the food is well priced..
Just as a tip, the service in the AC section is much quicker so avoid the open-air seating..

Not very happy
I was at Bandra with this friend of mine who was to fly to China that night. Before he eats authentic chinese food in China, I decided to treat him to "Indian" Chinese. I was damn sure of taking him to a place we'd have a great time at. I searched on burrp apps on my cell & found this to have some good reviews. It's a thai/ Chinese restaurant.The place is nice & cosy is what I thought after entering it. As we had had some snacks with a beers earlier, we asked the waiter to recommend us dishes wherein we could get our fill of Rice, noodles & gravy combination but made it clear that we didn't want to ear a lot. He recommended Mangolian Pot Rice which he said would contain sufficient gravy. When the dishes arrived, we realized it was too dry. We had to send it back. When he got it back it had gravy but the dish was too boring. The rice dish- Lard nai kai too was pretty plain. I don't know if we went wrong in listening to the waiter & ordered the wrong food. When there are so many reviewers talking so good about the place, maybe we chose the wrong dishes. :(

A loud, satisfied burrrrp! :D
Its a cozy little place with a decent ambience- which you dont really pay much attention too cuz the food takes all of it!The food here is a definite cheer-upper! The chicken satay, the peanut sauce, the papaya salad, the thai red curry are my staples. Can never get enough of it! I could eat here everyday and be content! :)
The waiters, although need to be a wee bit more attentive,are very helpful and always smiling!
One of my favourite places to eat at in the city!

Good Food with great service.
After attending the annual function of my Niece we all decided to have dinner at Thai Ban. I already been to this place 4-5 times. Its a very small place with approximately capacity for 25-30 peoples. We reached this place at 8.30pm and it was empty. We are total of 6 persons + 3kids. we got the table very easily.
In starters we orderd - couple of Baby corn and Mushroom Satay and Veg dumplings and in the main course we ordered Couple of Phad Thai noodles, Steamed rice and Gaeng Phed(Thai red curry) along with 3 glasses of Fresh lime soda, 1 orange juice, 1 coconut water
Overall had a good experience here and its one of the best joints to have Thai food in Bandra.

Tasty, cozy, relaxing = The Thai Ban Experience
I have been a regular at Thai Ban for the past 3 years, visiting at least twice in a week. I never tire of going back as for me it's as good as home. After a hard days work all i look forward to is the comfort of some Thai Ban food. It never lets me down. Its a very cozy place - ideal for those who love a nice relaxing meal. The food is consistent and full marks to the cleanliness and service.The staff is very pleasant and always seem to have a smile on their faces.
The "Tom Yum" soup is heavenly - a must have! Other soups such as the Tom Kha and Wanton soup are amazing aswell. It has a very large variety in the main course -both chinese and thai. I still end up trying out new things every time i visit. The Phad kimao noodles and the stuffed mushrooms are the best i have ever tasted.
All in all a MUST visit..
Excellent food with nice service
I have been visiting thai ban for last 1 year. Today also I been there for lunch with my family. Everytime i found food served is good and service is also nice. You will be given personalized attention by thoroughly professional manager Mr. Anup Amin with good gesture and very nice attitude. Really feels nice to visit Thai Ban.
Be careful about the quantum of food to be ordered
Yesterday afternoon i.e. on 10th December 10 a group of 14 of my office colleagures went for a lunch to this restaurant for a party and we found the food served was of very good standard and enjoyed it. However, the curries will have coconut in it which is typical of Thai food.
The warning which I need to give for people who are interested in going to this restaurant is that one has to be very careful in the quantum of food to be ordered. The steward misleads on the amount of food to be ordered by forcing to place order for more food than is warranted (as normally first time visitors would not know the portion of food served per dish) resulting in unnecssary wastage of food for which one has to shell out.
Be careful once again.

Too much fuss about noting
First about the food , good presentation , nicely cut chicken cubes, decently priced but overboard with the sugar and peanuts.
Somebody tell the Chef Thai does not mean u make peanut butter of all dishes.
And the Honey chilli means honey not sugar which u can almost feel the powdered stuff in your mouth.
The Holy grail of any Decent Thai eatery be it a roadside or a upmarket one is their Pad Thai.
Get this RIGHT i will forgive everything else.
And we have a smart ass waiter(Good Chap but does not know Thai from Thadka) tries to justify that all Thai food is sweet(i.e. with sugar).
To sweeten this whole experience we are pushed out of the restaurant saying if we are finished ordering there are people waiting outside.
So please tell me does a Food bill (FB/91595 Dated:20-11-10) of INR3200 for 8Pax for a duration from 8:30PM to 10:20PM should not entitle us to be shooed away.
I did not throw a fit as was the host but guys any other day you would have warranted a nice dressing down .
So if you crave somewhat cheap wannabe Thai food be my guest but ask the chef to go slow on the Sugar and Peanuts.

Good food, cozy place
The food was good though my friend kept complaining that one of the ingredients in the dish that we had ordered had gone bad. When I said everything tasted fine to me she called me a pig and we carried on with our conversation. It was nice to not have the waiters coming up again and again at the table, I mean they really know how to give some "space" to their customers.
I'm giving one extra star just for the service. The staff was polite, they were good at suggesting what to order and I totally loved the experience. Will definitely visit this place again.
Coming to the price, it's pretty affordable and for the ambiance the price seems pretty low!

we were well served..:)
i finally visited this place after reading so many good reviews...
it didn't disappoint me at all.
typical Saturday evening..it was packed however we managed a table within 15 mins...
what i loved was the relaxed ambiance and quick service. the starters,main course were really well prepared.
red thai curry,garlic mushroom rice,beef satay, sauteed veges in garlic sauce. all of them were well prepared..not too spicy or bland.i really loved the tom yum soup.
they have a very limited mocktail drinks menu( no alcohol though, they have a chinese menu too)
overall damages- Rs 850 for meal of two.
quite worth it!

Excellent Thai Food.....
Finally decided to visit this place after reading the great reviews here....The food out here is outstanding...especially the thai food(they even serve chinese cuisine)....
We ordered tom yum soup which was very very yummy....the lemon grass was authentic and d aroma of d soup was mindblowin....Starter was some tofu starter which was good...For main course we decided to order flat noodles with a veggie which was excellent...
The rates that they charge out here is quite reasonable...Damages were Rs.720/- for 2 of us...
The only problem is the ambience out here...Its a small place from the inside and the seating arrangement is a little weird(similar to some small cafe/subway)...I didn't like the ambience at all...
Overall I would strongly recommend this place for Thai food lovers....Its a must try!!!

Great food, okayish service
Smallish place, dimly lit, decor is very ok , so dont go expecting fancy decor.
The food though was excellent and satisfying. We had the raw papaya salad, mushroom and ginger rice , and a vegetable dish whose name I forgot. I found all the dishes very good.
The service could use some improvement. Our order took a long time to come, no one came for water refills and I had to tick off one of the waiters to stop putting his fingers in his mouth from the hygiene point of view. It was friendly though.
I would surely visit this place again for the great food.

Temple Food at Munchkins Thai Ban
Follow the oft trodden road to Pali Naka and trail the wafts of piquant chillies with a subtle overture of lemon grass to the modest 50-seat restaurant; Munchkins Thai Ban. With a name that conjures up images of the Wizard of Oz and the Orient at the same time, one wonders whats on the menu.
The small eatery nestled in the heart of Bandra has a very contemporary feel with white walls and wooden accents both inside and out. Established as Thai Ban and soon after acquired by the Munchkins franchise, the establishment has been test running its new menu since February with new additions like the Munk Phad Kapproa (fleshy Squid in chillie garlic and basil sauce) making it to the top of the best sellers list in no time.
On one of our first visits, we resisted the temptation of trying to pronounce the names of the various Thai and Chinese preparations on the menu and enlisted the help of the staff who were both friendly and prompt with options for every palate.
There a wide selection of vegetarian and non- vegetarian appetisers. An ardent fan of the popular hot and sour clear soup, Tom Yum, it was not disappointing. Its coconut milk laced cousin Tom Kha is also a safe bet, with flavours that seeped right through to the chunks of seafood and chicken respectively.
Vegetarians should try the baby corn and mushroom satay where a crispy start for the non vegetarians could be the Koong Phan Moon Sen (marinated prawns wrapped in glass noodles and fried). If youre in the mood for a fun twist, try the Som Tam Tangy (young papaya salad with roasted peanuts).
Some of the hot favourites at the restaurant include the Thai Red Curry, the burnt garlic rice imbued with a subtle smokiness, Khao Phad the Thai fried rice. Phad Ki Mao Chicken Flat rice noodles with chillies garlic and Thai herbs and the Phad Tla Chausson (fish in the Thai herb sauce) Crispy fish fillet topped with mild celery and thai herb sauce. I would not pass up the opportunity to eat this one again.
While on the topic of main course recommendations, I will swerve off the cheerleading path for a moment to observe that the restaurants Neua Phak Chee (crispy beef tenderloin with crushed coriander) is both bland and lacking in creative presentation.
In addition to the ample Thai options, the Chinese fare manages to hold its own with the Mongolian Pot Rice and the Bamee Goreng Noodles lightly tossed with fresh vegetables being perfect to beat the summer heat.
The selection of desserts is fairly average featuring Tiramisu, Creamy cheese cake and Tub Tim Grob. Although not the best version of this Thai dessert, the crunchy and sweet flesh of the water chestnuts in coconut milk of the tub Tim Grob is a fun option that is not available everywhere.
As it is a relatively small establishment and has limited seating in the air-conditioned section, get there early or book in advance to avoid waiting for a table around lunch and supper time. For those willing to brave the Mumbai heat, al fresco seating is also available with a number of strategically placed fans and a change in decor.
Not all the fare at Thai Ban is a sensation but most everything is very good. Much of the food has been tweaked to suit the Indian palette and the portion sizes are less than the ample. Despite the new menu with its price hike and absence of alcohol, the speedy service and dining experience are well worth the trip to find out in person.

Fine Thai Food
'Thai Ban' deserves its reputation as the best Thai restaurant in the Mumbai Suburbs. Its menu ranges way beyond the standard Thai eatery, offering bold, authentic Thai flavors. If you love Thai food, this is the place to go. My personal favorites here are:
Starters -
Satay Kai (Chicken satay avec peanut sauce)
Neua Phak Chee (Strips of crispy beef tenderloin avec crushed coriander)
Main Course -
Chicken Gaeng Phed (Chicken red curry, Thai)
Khao Prao (Steamed rice)
Dessert -
Honey Coated Noodles (avec gentle vanilla icecream.. Sinfully Decadent)

I beg to differ..
I have been a patron since 5 years now... And each time Thai Ban gets new food, I always try it.
Yes, they got a new menu. Yes, they increased prices.
Go elsewhere if you can't pay Rs 40-50 per dish more.
Or try running a restaurant with about 150 competitors.
But that's not my point. There is a difference between Thai food & Chinese food. Thai Ban gives you that.
As far as desserts are concerned, I agree they have a limited menu as opposed to other similar restaurants.
I have met the owner several times at the restaurant. She's a lovely lady, very open to suggestions so please let her know if something doesn't feel right.
Thai Ban is the place to be if you enjoy appetising THAI food. I think its the perfect value for money in the suburbs for THAI food.
Also, Thai food restaurants & Chinese food restaurants CANNOT be compared.
P.S. The re-launched Lemongrass serves morsels for the prices they demand.
Good .. but Overpriced...
I have been to the place few times before.. and we would always be in a limbo to select thai ban or 5 spice..frm food stand point.. i feel that both are equally good.. but 5 spice takes away the brownie points for the awesome desserts tht they offer.. hwevr.. the + side for thai ban.. was the price point.. which was almost 60% of 5 spice... but.. to my surprise and testimonial to the fact of the reviews of other food lovers.. they hav increased the price by over 40%.. this is feel gives it a - ve rating.. so.. if money is not a problem.. the food is pretty good.. since its a small place.. the service is pretty ok.. and the place is not bright.. so its very soothing...so... if i get a choice of spending 750 bucks.. for 3 items.. and hav the same with desserts.. and main course with some mocktails.. in 5 spice.. or lunch buffet at BBQ nation.. with their lunch spl buffets.. i cud choose BBQ nation... or 5 spice..but.. overall.. its a fine place..

Unbelievable! New Menu! Thai Ban has a new menu. And they have raised the prices. As if it wasn't expensive enough. It's now 260 bucks a plate of thai food.
Agreed Thai food is yummy. But why the price increase. Has the price of lemongrass gone up as per the new budget.
Okay, so the price is high. So what, I love Thai food. Except, there are fewer chicken pieces in the gravy, not to mention I had to hunt for pieces of chicken in the Noodles.
The portions are the same.
So why the price hike.
I think I will be going back to 5 Spice for my Thai needs.

Thai? Really?
Thai Ban it's called but it doesn't really taste thai? I went to Thai Ban cause a friend of mine was craving for Thai food...
When we entered we were quite impressed with the interiors and the decor. It was really welcoming. The service was pretty okay. It was quick but you had to really grab the attention of the staff which was pretty annoying.
Once we placed our order, the food was there in no time but to our disappointment it tasted anything but THAI... The gravy was thick like a butter chicken gravy and extremely spicy. It tasted more Indian than Thai. I'm giving it 2 stars only because I liked the ambiance... Never wish to go back here again...

Excellent Thai Food
Thai Ban serves as an excellent option when you are craving for some real good Thai food. I'v been there for more than a couple of times and have returned mighty pleased every time. Its a pretty small place, but the superb food and quick service more than makes up for it. We tried Veg Dimsum, Pad Thai, Green and Red Thai curry (which was simply outstanding) with steamed rice. This joint has the fastest service I'v ever seen in Mumbai. Meal for 2 can put you back by around Rs. 1000/-
Defenitely recommended.

Always Delightful
Its my third or fourth visit to Thai Ban and i never got disappointed. Went there on Saturday night around about 9.00pm and got seats as soon as we entered there.
They have added new dishes in their Menu. We started off with Veg Dumplings and Vegetable Tempura. Vegetable Tempura is nothing but Thai version of Pakoda's - Deep Fried. For the main course we ordered Phad Thai, Korean Rice, Khao Prao (Steamed Rice) with Gaeng Kari Talay (Thai Yellow Curry).
Food quantity is sufficient for 4 Adults and 1 Kid. Food quality is very good. Staff is friendly. Over all a good place to enjoy Thai Food

Masala Thai
Food - 4 / 5 ... I love the food at Thai Ban, though its not half as authentic as the stuff you get at Thai Pavilion... it is quite flavourful. I like the make-your-own meal section but i always call for thai curry and rice. I would have given it 5/5 if it wasn't for the small portion sizes
Service - 2 / 5 ... the food arrives quick but you may really need to shout out for the waiters attention! Why cant they pay attention?
Ambiance - 4 / 5 .... The decor is lovely, but expect a lot of familyish (sometimes noisy) crowd. The seating is too cramped.
Tip - The food is spicy by default....so if you hate burning your tongue, tell ur waiter to make it less spicy

Delicious THAI
the first time i ever tried thai curry was at Thai ban and have been frequenting this place ever since. the mouth watering garlic fried prawns and the delicious chicken satay pull me back to the place again and again. A good place for veg lovers as well i suggest one and all to try it out specially for the starters, thai currys and d amazing chocolaty desserts... yum yum!!!
June 22,2009
Fantastic food...good ambience..quick service!!
Thai Ban is a great discovery..the food is excellent.. I was suggested about Thai-Ban by a friend and i walked in there with my hubby to discover its just a small restaurant with just about 6-7 tables..n' ambience was nice ..cosy ..One look at the menu and i knew our dinner would turn out nice ...so we ordered a full course dinner for two and.I.must mention the lamb starter was perfectly marinated with red spicy gravy ...and so well cooked...n' the burnt fried fried rice with prawns in Thai spicy red curry was so well delivered...The pricing is reasonable ...Rs 1000-1200 for two ...but yes not much to select from for someone with a sweet tooth...
I love the place so much that every time i am around Pali Hill side , I just head to Thai-Ban straight ..my husband isn't too surprised when i make excuses to be around Pali Hill side ...u will surely like the place...the waiters r very helpful n' they fix ur meal quite fast ....
Just go ahead n' try ..in case u r a foodie !!

Fast Food Thai
Seems like no two people have the same experience here !!
Unlike previous reviewers who saw empty tables and very attentive service, I encountered a long wait and extremely harried waiters. I should clarify that I went at 9.00 pm on a saturday night - so it was probably the busiest time of the week. There were seats available outside in the open, but with the muggy weather we are having in Bombay, that was not an option. But still, having to wait 40 min surprised me. And since the missus was 'feeling' like Thai green curry and the nearby 5 Spice had an even bigger queue, there wasnt much of an option ....
Once inside, there are only 6-7 tables with very little space in between - gives a cozy ambience. But unfortunately, when full of people like it was this weekend, it is raucous and noisy and the AC couldnt keep up either :) The poor waiters seemed a harried lot running helter skelter trying to deliver food and clear tables as fast as possible.
And it was probably for that reason that the head waiter who was taking our orders, sort of guided us towards limited items on the menu ... a couple of things that we chose were 'not available'. We went along with his recommendations and things appeared at our table rather alarmingly quickly !! To be fair, all the stuff was good. We ordered one veggie and two non-veg starters. I cant remember their exact names but they were tasty.
Similar experience with the main course - a couple of main courses were not 'available' - so we went along with chicken red curry and veg green curry. Both of them were pretty decent - and the burnt garlic fried rice was rather good. Again things appeared rather quickly ... which convinced us this was probably pre-cooked in some way. The helpings of the main course werent too generous - served in small clay pots, its barely enough for two people if you are having it with plain rice.
We decided not to take desserts as there was nothing special on offer - and immediately the head waiter wanted us to vacate our table :) !! Done in a respectful way, nothing irritating - and we ourselves were relieved to get out of the cacophony into the calmness of the street outside.
Prices were Bandra level - dinner for 3 without dessert was Rs. 1,300. I would like to go there in a weekday night to evaluate the food more thoroughly, but as of now I am going to label it a thai fast food joint :)

Super Spicy Thai Green Curry
Considering the dearth of good Thai food places, you tend to get a bit tolerant with whatever you do get. Bearing this in mind, do excuse the slight bias in this review.
Also, this review is somewhat incomplete since we only ordered vegetarian and I was not hosting this dinner so I don't know the pricing/total bill for whatever we had.
We were a group of 10 (including 2 kids - a 5 year old and a baby) that headed over for dinner on a Tuesday night. 4 of us got their considerably earlier than the rest of the group and were holding a table for the entire group for almost an hour. Although they were not really too busy when we got there, the staff was very tolerant and patient. We ordered a couple of rounds of drinks, a soup and some starters while we were waiting. Tom Kah soup was delicious. We also ordered a couple of orders of Steamed veg. Spring rolls (surprisingly there is an option for steamed) and a spicy mixed veggie dish with mushrooms (I cannot recall the name). The mixed veggie dish was particularly good.
The rest of the group had some people that did not eat onions, garlic and mushrooms. The waiters were accommodating and very helpful with suggestions.
For main course we tried the Phad Thai Noodles and Thai Green Curry with rice. The Phad Thai Noodles were quiet good. My favourite was the green curry. I will not necessarily recommend it to everyone because it was suuuppperr spicey but it completely worked for me. :D
It is served in a fairly small clay pot. The serving is barely enough for two people so make sure you order extra curry if you're going to share the dish.

The best thai food so far
I've been here once before, a long time ago, and the experience was good. Keeping this in mind, I set out with my family to relish some Thai food on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
At the entrance itself we noticed the shiny burrp! award certificate, convincing us that we had chosen the right place. As soon as we entered the place we were promptly seated.
We started off with Veg Dumplings and Steamed Spring Rolls for our appetizers. For the main course we ordered Phad Thai, Steamed Rice, Red Curry and Yellow Curry. Everything was very tasty. Mom loved the food (and she is very hard customer to please).
My only gripe with that place is that they don't serve the Thai Ice Tea. When I asked the waiter about it, he grinned and said no, as if he had been expecting this question already. Also, they had limited desserts. Of the 8 or so items, they only had about 3. We later went to Naturals in Juhu to round off the lunch that we started at Thai Ban.
The food quantity and quality was good. The service efficient. Overall a good experience.

Tasty, affordable, AWESOME SERVICE!
I accidentally ended up at this place on a Sunday night after Cafe' Basilico had too long a waiting time. Was pleasantly surprised by Thai Ban's delicious food (non-authentic but then neither are most Thai, Chinese places in Bombay). The crispy beef tenderloin, shrimp pad thai and the chicken dishes that we called for were all very well marinated and really tasty.
Would like to make a mention of our waiter Sushant, who gave us an OUTSTANDING service while we were here.....prompt and proactive. We spent 1000 for 2 people for ice teas, 2 appetizers, a curry and a noodle plate.
We sat on the outside patio, it can be a touch hot outside. i did get a chance to take a peek inside which was quite packed and the restaurant came across as having an above average ambience and hygiene level. 4 stars...

Thai food....from which angle
Okay I went in with low expectations.....as long as the Tum Yum and Pad Thai were decent I would have been satisfied. The Tom Yum tasted like hot sour water and the Pad Thai was made out of Fettuccine......same situation with the green curry and other dishes....I guess I would have been okay if I had expectations of eating at Indo Chinese /Thai resteraunt but I was craving Thai food....so no more Thai Ban for me. I guess if you really dont know Thai Food it can work though!

not bad !
Rest : Thai Ban
Meal : Lunch
Date : 17/12/2006
Location :St John Road, Bandra
Experience- A pretty small place this, its nestled between Papa Pancho and Cafe Basilico, the decor is ok, they dont have more seating than 30 i reckon and the ambience is eveningish, cosy and casual.
Drink :Water, Fresh Lime Soda, Ice Tea
Food : Sticking to the staples, we got the Tom Yum Soup which was a bit ginger heavy but the tangy after taste was interesting.
The appetizers consisted of schezuan potato (dont even ask, my protests were disregarded) it was spicy, generic schezuan taste, we also had the baby corn mushroom satay which was on the money, rich full taste and enough portions to make 3 people happy.
The main course was just green curry with rice, pretty good here,but again, it all tastes the same, as if all thai cooks seem to be cooking from the same recipe book. bit dissapointing that but no complaints.
Rating : Food 8/10, Service 8/10
Damage : 800 ($17)

The best Pad Thai Noodles in Mumbai
Being a big fan of Pad Thai Noodles, I've tried it out in pretty much any place that serves it. But, the Pad Thai Noodles at Munchkins Thai Ban were the best I've had in Mumbai.
The items on the menu are reasonably priced. I would go there again, if I am around the Pali Naka area. The only thing that needs mentioning is that they substitute Paneer for Tofu in their dishes.

Decent Thai in a Happening 'Hood
At the St. John's and Pali Rd. Junction, tucked between Basilicos and Papa Panchos Da Dhaba you will find the quaint and pleasantly decorated Thai Ban. The menu is promising for Thai enthusiasts, as you start to recognize terminology that you've seen on other Thai menus (Pad Thai Noodles, Pad Khi Mao, Prig Je, etc.). Disappointingly, they did not have the delicious Thai Iced Tea, but their strawberry iced tea was a decent substitute. We started out with a few bowls of Tom Kha, a delicious vegetarian soup with a coconut milk base - this comes highly recommended. For main course, we ordered Green Curry Vegetables and Pad Thai Noodles. Although the noodles tried hard to retain that authentic thai flavor, it came up short in the end. To our satisfaction, that was certainly not the case with the Green Curry - it was true to the authentic Thai spices and flavors and was the favorite dish of the night.
If you're dying for Thai, this is the most authentic place I've found in the city. My hunt for better will not end, but till that time, enjoy Thai Ban.

Opening: Fully Committed to Doves & Soho Mercy
Editorial Staff • West End • 10 Jul 2004
OPENING TONIGHT, Monday 12 July 2004, Amajuba - Like Doves We Rise visits the Barbican Pit this week (See News, 29 Jun 2004). The intimate portrayal of growing up in South Africa was conceived and written by Yael Farber (whose Woman in Waiting transferred from Edinburgh to the West End in 2001) in collaboration with the cast.

Consumer Questions and Answers on Country of Origin Labeling
What is Country of Origin Labeling?
Country of Origin Labeling (aka COOL) is a law requiring certain food retailers (supermarkets and grocery stores) to provide additional information (country of origin information) to consumers on specific food items at the point of purchase.
What kinds of food stores are required to label for COOL?
Retailers that are PACA (Perishable Agricultural Marketing Act of 1930) licensees are required to comply with COOL requirements. Most full line grocery stores meet this requirement.
Are places like fish markets and butcher shops required to provide COOL information?
No. Retailers that do not sell fruits and vegetables (e.g., fish markets and butcher shops) are not required to provide COOL information. In general, only full line grocers are required to provide COOL information.
What items can I expect to see required COOL information on?
--Covered commodities include the following:
--Muscle cuts of beef (including veal), lamb, --pork, chicken, and goat
--Ground beef (including veal), lamb, pork, chicken, and goat
--Fish and Shellfish (wild and farm-raised)
--Perishable agricultural commodities (fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables)
--Peanuts, pecans, and macadamia nuts
Should turkey be labeled with the country of origin in the grocery store?
No, chicken is the only poultry product required to be labeled with COOL information.
Why are processed foods excluded from COOL requirements?
The definition of a processed food item developed for the rule has taken into account comments from affected entities and has resulted in excluding products that would be more costly and troublesome for retailers and suppliers to provide country of origin information.
Country of Origin Labeling is singular. Why have I observed an individually packaged steak have 3 countries (e.g., U.S., Canada, and Mexico) listed on the label?
COOL for covered meat commodities must take into account all the production steps (born, raised, and slaughtered) for animals that the meat is derived from. Many animals are exclusively, born raised and slaughtered in the United States and may be labeled with Product of US. Other animals may have been born in another country and ultimately, raised and slaughtered in the United States. In this case, a multiple country designation must be declared (e.g., US and Mexico; US and Canada). In still other cases, if animals that were born in Mexico and others born in Canada were commingled through the raising or slaughter process, all possible combinations of countries must be accounted for when the meat is processed. Under this scenario, the resulting product would be labeled as Product of US, Canada and Mexico.
Why does the United States import animals from other countries?
Like many other industries, the livestock sector looks to the economics of supply in determining where to obtain needed inputs. The close proximity of Canada and Mexico allows for these types of transactions to be economically viable.
How do we know that animals imported into the United States are safe?
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), the Food and Drug Administration, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) all have stringent regulations to insure the health and safety of animals and food products entering the United States meet the same requirements as those produced in the US.
Where can I find information about COOL?
The COOL web site: http://www.ams.usda.gov/cool provides an abundance of information including the regulations, various guidance documents, and brochures.
If I have a complaint about how things are labeled in my grocery store where can I send my complaint?

Now here's a conversation that I never thought I would have with anybody or anyone, spoken or written. Why am I sitting here thinking about poop? And more importantly so, why am I thinking about my son's poop in particularly? One can only guess, but I'll try to explain.
As a parent, you never know what you will have to deal with from one day to the next. Everything can be going smoothly and you'll look at your child…his or her perfect, little face…your heart bursting with unconditional love. Next thing you know, your child has this attention-grabbing and alarming look on their face. The newest love of your life has just turned into this unrecognizable ogre, grimacing and growling at the entire world…and unfortunately, you are now the ultimate focal point of their hostility. From my personal experiences (now that I can gracefully look back), it was always more accentuated when my very own child could or would not go to the bathroom. Poop, pee…it really didn't matter. Someone had their Mr. Poopy Pants on and wasn't taking them off for nothing!
Never in a million dreams would I think that in the very beginning stages of parenthood, I would have to keep track of all things pee and poop where my son was concerned. You can dream of the fairy tale parenting scenario…picturing this picturesque, angelic face sleeping all hours of the night for you and consuming every meal that is presented to them.
And then reality kicks in. And it kicks really, really hard sometimes…trust me.
Failure to thrive, severe stomach problems, vomiting and constipation, black stools, endoscopies, biopsies…it just went on and on for what seemed like an eternity! I still have the Excel spreadsheets that I personally typed up to remind me how much each of his diapers weighed, if there was pee or poop in them and what color it was. And thank the stars for my pediatric gastroenterologist (Dr. Peri Millman of NYHQ), as she was there to guide me through it all so effortlessly and brilliantly…she is truly someone that I will be forever indebted to for all eternity.
Needless to say, I guess you can officially call me the resident "Poopologist" of NYMW. And I will wear that badge proudly for the rest of my life…it was definitely earned.
Let's skip forward a couple of years…I'll save you from all of the intermittent, mundane and monotonous drone we call life's every day existence. All of the gastrointestinal problems had subsided, his premature stomach muscles had matured and everything was hunky dory. It's now time to start kindergarten…and with kindergarten comes hot lunch. Now it's time for me to let go and let someone else take care of what was going to be served into his little belly. Could I handle it? Sure!
Well, not exactly. Mommy's not happy again because little man can't go to the bathroom again.
What to do now? A good, well-balanced and healthy diet was one thing that I could control. And truthfully, I got really good at it. And yes, I'll totally admit it…I did become a bit of a control freak about it, considering all that I had gone through.
So now I had to resort to all things that I had forgotten. But fortunately, it had all had come back in a quick flash, thank goodness. It really was like riding a bicycle again…one you learn, you never really forget.
Let's just say we started checking the poop again for color and consistency. Poop's too hard? Make him drink some prune juice, eat some fresh papaya and cut out the vitamins fortified with iron. Poop's too soft? Bind him up with some bananas…banana pancakes, banana smoothies and fresh slices of banana. My kid is totally on board with this too…he looks at it as if it were a game (which is kind of gross when you think about it actually.) His favorite book now? "The Truth About Poop" by Susan E. Goodman. An excellent science read for kids that want to learn everything and anything about all different kinds of poop and its uses.
Somewhere in between all of this nonsense, there really is a balance. A traditional and authentic balance between healthy poop and ailing poop. If you can, try to keep track of what your kids are eating should they be having some digestive discomforts and definitely don't disregard the simplest of stomach aches. Your kids will thank you…and their poop will thank you too.

Sunday, October 19 - Greg Jacobs
Some call Greg Jacobs the red dirt crooner because of his easy goin' style. He is the smoothest of all the red dirt troubadours, laying down a solid Okie groove, on songs that are both historic and personal. Jacobs, one of the more original of all singer/songwriters working in America today, more than most delivers on the promise of Woody Guthrie, who said ' all you can do is write what you see.'
Sunday, November 2 - Griffin House
Griffin House has toured extensively and, since 2007 has been a national headliner. He issued his first independent release in 2003. Several self-released albums followed, the majority on his imprint label, Evening Records. House is currently celebrating the release of his 8th full length album, Balls. His music is a blend of folk, rock, pop and even a little punk which captures a depth of emotion and intelligence, while at the same time maintaining accessibility.
Sunday, November 16 - Peter Mulvey
Perhaps best known for a voice that feels like fine old leather, a powerful percussive guitar style and his warmly wry songwriting, Peter Mulvey has developed a strong national following in the indie folk/rock scene through his more than 20 years of relentless touring and 16 critically acclaimed albums, the latest of which is Silver Ladder, released this year. "Peter Mulvey is all substance, which is his style." says the Boston Globe.
Sunday, December 7 - Don Conoscenti
Don Conoscenti's live performances are a soulful fusion of styles blended from his experience playing rock, jazz, blues, folk, funk and country, driven by an unusual rhythmic sense and a finger style approach set apart by the use of partial and multiple capos. One of the most respected musicians in acoustic music, Conoscenti has performed twice on the Millennium Stage of the Kennedy Center. A collection of his work is in the folk revivalist archives of The Library of Congress.
Sunday, January 4 - Johnsmith
For the past thirty-plus years, Johnsmith has been sharing his music all across America and abroad. With his faded jeans, his twinkly blue eyes, and his infectious smile, John immediately connects with audiences.

Sunday, January 18 - Meg Hutchinson
Meg Hutchinson has won numerous songwriting awards in the US, Ireland and UK. Her 2010 release, THE LIVING SIDE, tackled some of the big issues of the time, all while maintaining that intimate and relatable voice which makes her songs resonate deeply.

Sunday, February 15 - Dan Weber
Award Winning songwriter Dan Weber has been described as "The classic mid-life overnight sensation." A gifted storyteller and inspired performer, in 2013 Weber won 3rd place in the prestigious Woody Guthrie Songwriting Competition and the Silver Award in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. Previously he was a 2012 finalist in the legendary Kerrville 'New Folk' competition as well as the 2010 Dave Carter Memorial Songwriting Contest along with several other national and regional honors.
Sunday, March 1 - Tom Skinner
"You can't claim to be a Red Dirt artist if you haven't covered a Tom Skinner song, been lucky enough to join in with him on stage or around a fire, or both. You see, Tom Skinner is the very definition of a Red Dirt singer songwriter in the flesh—the pioneer and inspiration for the genre itself. Just ask any of his current or former band mates, including Garth Brooks." -- Stillwater Living Magazine
Sunday, March 29 - Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines
Terri Hendrix is an award-winning Texas songwriter who spins sorrow into joy and wrings wisdom from the blues with the poetic grace and uplifting melodic flair that has long been her trademark. A classically trained vocalist and deft multi-instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin and harmonica), she dodges musical pigeonholes alongside Lloyd Maines (guitar, dobro, pedal steel), by weaving folk, pop, country, blues and swinging jazz into an eclectic style all her own.

Pretty-pretty-pretty boots.
The Vinil Boots from Tecnica are more than just boots. They are symbols of hope for a future that was only a fantasy in the 1970s. Moon boots are a product of a generation obsessed with utopian possibility. A future society where vinyl-clad Jane Fonda look-a-likes receive sustenance from vitamin drinks, travel in space ships with interiors decorated with faux fur, and all you need to make sweet love is a transference pellet to eat and a hand to hold . Lace up your Vinil Boots, and help teach the world that we have a long way to go.

added water resistance
Moon Boots are an essential item for my winters living in the snow. But when the snow starts turning to slush in the spring I usually have to sadly retire them until freezing temps come around again.

(AP) WASHINGTON - The nation's top disease detective says impending budget cuts will make it harder to solve outbreaks, fight hospital infections and keep illnesses overseas from making their way here.
Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says his agency will lose more than $300 million at a time when public health already is struggling to keep up with new germs.
In Frieden's words, "Our threats aren't getting cut but our ability to respond to them is."
One example: Frieden says the cuts could constrain his agency's investigation of a worrisome tuberculosis outbreak in Los Angeles. Another example: CDC would have to cut funding for state and local health departments, impairing their ability to spot early warning signs of outbreaks.
