While in Santa Fe, the Bat Brigade meets with various Cabinet Secretaries – the Department of Tourism, Department of Transportation, State Parks, State Land Office, and Energy, Minerals & Natural Resources are among the offices traditionally visited, along with visits with the Governor and Lt. Governor, and the Senators and Representatives from Eddy County. An Eddy County Reception is also hosted by the Artesia and Carlsbad Chambers of Commerce and the Carlsbad Department of Development. The 2016 Bat Brigade is scheduled for January 31 - February 2, 2016.
The Carlsbad 40 Under 40 Class of 2015 was announced at a banquet in their honor on Thursday, April 23, 2015.

Carlsbad's 2nd Annual Microbrew Festival on the Pecos was Saturday May 9, 2015 on the grounds of the Pecos River Village Conference Center - 711 Muscatel Ave, Carlsbad, NM – from 3 to 9 pm. There were seven microbreweries from New Mexico – Abbey Brewing Co, The Wellhead Brewery, Cottonwood Wine & Brewing, High Desert Brewing Co, Roosevelt Brewing Co, Santa Fe Brewing Co, and Little Toad Creek, specialty foods from Old Windmill Cheese & Ranch Life Jerky, and live music by Carlsbad's own "Don't Quit Your Day Job Band"!

Commemorative t-shirts from Perfect Designs and party cups from B & B Rita Rims were available for purchase.
Only 100 tickets were sold to the VIP event from 3 to 4 pm. Tickets are $50 per person. The purchase included a commemorative pint & t-shirt, one pint of the beer of your choice, AND the opportunity to sample the beer without waiting in long lines!

The 2nd Annual Microbrew Festival on the Pecos was sponsored by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, Albertsons Market, Carlsbad Ford, Madron Services Inc, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott. Plans are underway for the 3rd annual event May 14, 2016!
In July of each year, the outgoing Board of Directors and Council Chair are recognized for their service during the past year and the new Board of Directors – including the incoming Chairman of the Board, and Council Chairs are seated for the new fiscal year at the Annual Banquet & Meeting. Special recognition is given to the Business of the Year, the Pete Panagopoulos Ambassador of the Year is named, and the Jack Knittel Presidential Award is given by the outgoing Chairman of the Board to a fellow board member who went above and beyond during the year.
Special awards and presentations were made at the Chamber's Annual Banquet & Meeting on July 9, 2015. Donna Cass, the Chamber's Senior Administrative Assistant, was recognized for ten years of service to the Chamber! Ernie Carlson, Susan Owen, and Brenda Suggs were recognized as retiring Board members. The Jack E Knittel Presidential Award was presented to Lisa Sexton, the Pete Panagopoulos Ambassador of the Year went to Michele Robertson, and the 2014-15 Business of the Year is Mosaic Potash. Congratulations to all!
Carlsbad is located in a Chihuahuan desert, BUT we have a river running through the heart of town! The river provides a multitude of opportunities to residents and visitors alike. One of those special events is Christmas on the Pecos. Christmas on the Pecos is created by over 100 homeowners who spend hours decorating their riverfront properties with Christmas themed lights -- from the Christmas in the Desert Southwest theme at one home to Santa's land at another. Carlsbad residents are proud to show off their creativity and their community pride each Christmas season. From the Friday after Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve, Christmas wraps itself around the riverfront, illuminated backyards, boat docks and islands with millions of spectacular lights. You won't want to miss the sights and sounds of Christmas during this annual event. Tickets will be available in mid-October at www.christmasonthepecos.com.
The Winter Wine Festival began in 2011 and was such a huge success it is now an annual event! Held at the Pecos River Village Conference Center the first weekend in December, it is the perfect complement to Christmas on the Pecos. With New Mexico wineries showcasing their wines, specialty food vendors, and art and crafts from throughout the state, the Conference Center will again be a flurry of activity! Tickets and more information are available online at www.carlsbadwinterwine.com beginning in mid-October and at the Chamber of Commerce - 302 S Canal - beginning November 1, 2015. Mark your calendar - the 5th Annual Carlsbad Winter Wine Festival will be December 4 and 5, 2015! Plans are already underway for the 2016 event - visit again for more details!

There is much religiosity in the U.S., with the Supreme Court's right-wing majority even approving Christian prayers at the start of government business. But there is little appreciation of the radical political and economic message at the center of Jesus's teachings, writes Rev. Howard Bess.
A People's War in East Ukraine
Ukraine's Western-backed coup regime in Kiev has launched an offensive against ethnic Russians in the east while a pro-regime mob used fire to kill some 31 anti-regime protesters in Odessa. Virtually all U.S. pundits favor the coup regime, but Daniel Patrick Welch offers a different view of the conflict
Net Neutrality Under Assault
The fight over Net neutrality is back, with the Federal Communications Commission considering new rules that critics say will create a fast-and-slow Internet, faster for those with more money and slower for those with less, as Bill Moyers and Michael Winship warn.
Could the Fans Own the Clippers?
Even before Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling became known for his racism, he was recognized as one of basketball's most inept executives with his team rarely making the playoffs. Now, with him banished from the NBA, Bob Katz wonders if there's a way for the public to own the team.
FCC's Threat to Net Neutrality
President Obama has been a vocal defender of "net neutrality," but a recent leaked report suggests that Obama's FCC chairman is planning to divide the Internet into one with faster and slower speeds, as Free Press' Craig Aaron told Dennis J. Bernstein.
The Fat Cats of Fast-Food
Pay inequity has worsened across the U.S. economy, but perhaps nowhere more than in the fast-food industry where CEOs and other top executives fatten their compensation as their fast-food workers subsist on taxpayer-provided food stamps, as Michael Winship explains.
Why Neocons Seek to Destabilize Russia
Exclusive: Any propaganda war starts by planting stories that your target is getting rich, whether he is or isn't, the latest move in demonizing Vladimir Putin. But the larger question is what might happen if the neocons succeed in destabilizing nuclear-armed Russia, asks Robert Parry.
The Iron Law of Oligarchy Returns
America likes to think of itself as a land of the Great Middle Class with a government "of, by and for the people." But that reality has changed drastically over the past several decades, as money and power have created a dominant American Oligarchy, writes Danny Schechter.
Beneath the Ukraine Crisis: Shale Gas
Exclusive: Behind the geopolitics pitting Russia against the West – and the ethnic tensions tearing Ukraine east and west – another backdrop for understanding this deepening conflict is the big-money competition for Ukraine's oil and natural gas, writes Nat Parry.
America's Surge Toward Oligarchy
Exclusive: With the rapid concentration of wealth in a few well-manicured hands and the right-wing U.S. Supreme Court declaring money to be speech, the American surge toward oligarchy has gained what looks like an unstoppable momentum, as JP Sottile explains.

Vash the Stampede Signed by Sew-MaddWatch
©2014-2016 Sew-Madd
At Colossalcon (2014) I was able to meet Johnny Young Bosch and get his signature on my cute Vash stitch. I was soooooo very much excited.
Trigun = Yasuhiro Nightow
Trigun = Yasuhiro Nightow
Aww so adorable, I loved that anime <3
OK, that's just cool.
I love vash ... to bad is such a sad anime
Vash is one of my all time favorite characters, but at least the anime has a bit of a happy ending? He's not dead, though he did have to stop his brother; which sibling and such. There's so much to the anime. I think that's why I love it.

Photo of actual year not available
The estate's flagship wine, the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Schiena d'Asino, wraps around the palate with serious depth in its layered, expressive fruit. Smoke, tobacco, leather, savory herbs, wild flowers and incense are some of the many aromas and flavors that emerge over time. A big, broad-shouldered wine, the 2007 has enough sweetness to be enjoyed today, but it can also be cellared. The style is built on power and virility but also with hits of rusticity and gaminess that are not uncommon in this part of Castelnuovo. Readers will be rewarded by giving the Schiena d'Asino considerable air.Drink Dates: 2017-2032

Ok, i haven't uploaded something lately so I decided to draw and paint something before I go.

I got my wisdom teeth out nine years ago, and yeah, the aftermath wasn't pleasant. But I have faith you'll make it through.
At least you were able to channel the emotion into something productive...though chips and popcorn are probably the last things you'd want to consume after getting wisdom teeth taken out.

Meal Options:
Vegetarian; Gluten Free
Experience the beauty of three historic capitals of Classical, Medieval and Renaissance acclaim as local experts lead you on a journey through some of Italy�s greatest cities. Follow the path of legendary artists, scientists and philosophers from the classical remnants of Rome to the preserved treasures of Florence and Venice.
� Trace Roman history through the ages as you visit the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Borghese Museum and the Vatican Museum.
� Journey to Florence and Venice via a high speed EuroStar train, reaching speeds of over 120 mph.
� View the "David" � a Renaissance period masterpiece in Florence � and ride in a gondola through the canals of Venice.
Activity Particulars
Extensive walking in traffic-free urban centers which prevent tourist coaches from parking or loading passengers at sites. The distances traversed on foot can reach 4 mi/day�always interspersed with rest time, typically at a meal. Standing for extended periods of time during site visits. Special attention needs to be paid to the uneven aspect of cobblestone streets. Elevator use in some historic buildings is restricted. Not all staircases have banisters. Venice is unique as a city with no vehicles besides public or private boats that run along the Grand Canal. Extensive walking in Venice includes crossing bridges that span minor canals. As with many things, the effort expended has its aesthetic reward.
Date Specific Information
10-22-2016, 10-26-2016, 10-30-2016
Travel and study with Road Scholar in Rome, Florence, and Venice during low season means museums, other cultural attractions, and restaurants are less crowded, with more opportunities for relaxed �people watching� as we mix and mingle with the locals. In Venice, especially, we will feel more like Venetians as we ride the vaporetto (public boats) down the Grand Canal without crowds of tourists.
Itinerary Summary
Arrival Rome, 4 nights; train to Florence, 4 nights; train to Venice, 4 nights; departure.
Overnight flight from the U.S.A.
1 night
Arrival Rome
4 nights
Begin to unravel the multiple layers of Roman history as you examine some of the masterpieces preserved in the National Museum of Palazzo Massimo alle Terme. Lectures offer insight on various aspects of Roman culture, architecture and artists, such as Michelangelo and Bernini. Marvel at the stunning Ceiling and the imposing Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel. Visit the Colosseum and the Roman Forum and delight in the art collection at the Borghese Gallery.
Train to Florence
4 nights
Considered the �cradle of the Renaissance,� Florence retains a treasure trove of works by Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Verrocchio, Donatello and Botticelli. Learn from resident professors of art history the development of styles and feast your artistic senses during visits to the National Sculpture Gallery of the Bargello, the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia � where the newly restored David is housed. Learn about the Duomo complex and Brunelleschi's Dome. Savor the sights, smells, and tastes of Florence as you stroll through traffic free streets, visiting markets and sampling gelato just steps away from breathtaking churches.
Train to Venice
4 nights
Journey to Venice via train and then explore the city along its historic and scenic canals. Notice the grandeur of patrician palaces, with arches indicating near-Eastern influence before exploring St. Mark�s Cathedral and the Ducal Palace. On an excursion to the island of Murano observe a master-craftsman shape genuine Venetian glass in a workshop. Docents will illustrate and illuminate the richness of Venetian history, legends, personages, and of course the art. Venice invites you into its maze.
�Dolce far niente,� the �sweetness of doing nothing.� This ode to leisure is a distinctly Italian phrase, and yet the expression does not do justice to the hard-work ethos of the nation�s inhabitants. The monuments, art and civilization bequeathed to the people of modern Italy are a testament to the industry of their forebearers, and the legacy lives on in today�s Italians, who work hard to better enjoy the sweetness of repose.
Rome: Four-star hotel near the Piazza della Repubblica, the Termini train station, and the Rome Opera House. Florence: Four-star hotel was an ex-Franciscan convent from the 15th century and its modern restoration showcases the ancient frescoes, stone arches and vaulted ceilings. Venice: Four-star hotel with a terrace and private dock on the Grand Canal.

Thoughts about setup and deployment issues, WiX, XNA, the .NET Framework and Visual Studio
All postings are provided AS IS
with no warranties, and confer no rights. Additionally, views expressed
herein are my own and not those of my employer, Microsoft.
I have posted an updated version of the .NET Framework cleanup tool that now contains support for automatically cleaning up the .NET Framework 1.0, the .NET Framework 1.1, the .NET Framework 2.0, the .NET Framework 3.0 and the .NET Framework 3.5.
This tool automates the manual cleanup steps for the .NET Framework 2.0 that I posted a while ago. These steps have helped solve most of the known .NET Framework 2.0 beta uninstall issues that I know of. In addition, the tool can be useful to return your system to a known (relatively clean) state in case you run into any .NET Framework 2.0 installation failures so that you can try to install again.
The updated version of the cleanup tool contains options to clean up the .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 separately and all versions simultaneously in a single step. The cleanup tool contains logic so that if it is run on an OS version that includes the .NET Framework as an OS component, it will not offer the option to clean it up. This means that running the cleanup tool on Windows XP Media Center Edition or Tablet PC Edition will not offer the option to clean up the .NET Framework 1.0, running it on Windows Server 2003 will not offer the option to clean up the .NET Framework 1.1 and running it on Windows Vista will not offer the option to clean up the .NET Framework 2.0 or the .NET Framework 3.0.
There are a couple of very important caveats that you should read before using this tool to cleanup .NET Framework bits on your machine:
I have been using this tool for a while, and it has proven reliable, but there may still be bugs in it in certain scenarios. Please contact me if you run into any issues while using the cleanup tool or if you are still unable to install the .NET Framework (or any service packs or hotfixes) after running it.
The tool has a command line switch that allows it to be run in silent mode if needed. There is more information about how to run it in silent mode in the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool User's Guide.
<update date="8/22/2007"> Added information about removing the .NET Framework 3.0 because the tool now supports this version of the .NET Framework in addition to 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. </update>
<update date="9/13/2007"> Added information about removing the .NET Framework 3.5 because the tool now supports this version of the .NET Framework in addition to 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0. </update>
<update date="12/3/2007"> Added a link to the silent install instructions for the cleanup tool </update>
<update date="2/28/2009"> Added links to the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool User's Guide, which contains download locations and detailed information about how to use the cleanup tool. </update>
THANKS for this great tool.
It solved my problems after I 'accidentally' cleaned out my Windows\Installer, dllcache and ServicePackFiles folders a bit too thoroughly, leaving me unable to update, repair, uninstall or reinstall.
Hi Aaron
I'm wondering if you can help please. I'm trying to repair my dot net on W7 SP1 64 and have followed the steps above but still can't reinstall as per the following:
OS Version = 6.1.7601, Platform 2, Service Pack 1
OS Description = Windows 7 - x64 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 1

User Experience Data Collection Policy: Disabled
Number of applicable items: 11
Exe (C:\3038e4deb60807de76\SetupUtility.exe) succeeded.

ServiceControl operation succeeded!
Exe (C:\3038e4deb60807de76\Windows6.1-KB958488-v6001-x64.msu) failed with 0xbc9 - The requested operation failed. A system reboot is required to roll back changes made. .
Final Result: Installation failed with error code: (0x00000BC9), "The requested operation failed. A system reboot is required to roll back changes made. " (Elapsed time: 0 00:00:09).
Also, when I run the dot net exe file it keeps trying to install to my G: drive and subsequently I have to disable it so that it defaults to C: for the install. Reason for that?
My C: is a RAID0 using two SSDS?
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
Hi Chris McKay - I don't think setup is trying to install to your G drive. I think it is just trying to unpack temporary files used during setup to the G drive because it is the drive with the largest amount of free space. The 0xbc9 error doesn't indicate much other than that setup failed - it isn't too helpful for trying to figure out the root cause of the failure. Can you please use the tool described at blogs.msdn.com/.../6458047.aspx to collect all of your setup log files, upload the file named %temp%\vslogs.cab that this tool will create to a file server (such as http://skydrive.live.com), and then reply back here and post a link that I can use to download your log files and take a closer look?
I used your program after add/uninstall programs was unsucessful. all was sucesssful according to the ending note.
I tried to install, clean install, all went well until the end when it failed due to the following part of message:

Hi Lou - Can you please use the tool described at blogs.msdn.com/.../6458047.aspx to collect all of your setup log files, upload the file named %temp%\vslogs.cab that this tool will create to a file server (such as http://skydrive.live.com), and then reply back here and post a link that I can use to download your log files and take a closer look?
Also, do you see similar problems when trying to install other updates from Windows Update, or is this problem specific to .msu file that is being installed by the .NET Framework 4?
i have tried to upload to skyline but when i click on vslogs.cab it states that items do not match my search, nothing shows up when i click on the folder. i have been able to access the folder through the computer and there are 17 items in the folder, looks to be 25mbs or more. i found that i can copy the notepad files to the desktop. the rest seem to be ie docs.
i imagine i could load the notepad docs if that is acceptable. but do not know which ones you would require.
fyi, after i posted above request, microsoft updater reloaded all of .net. still have same problems
btw, the resolution of these issues are not work critical but i am interested in resolving them, if possible
thanks for you assistance
Hi Lou - I'm not sure I understand what is going on here. Did you run the log collection tool and it created %temp%\vslogs.cab, but then you can't upload that file to SkyDrive? Where exactly are you clicking on vslogs.cab when nothing shows up?
When I run your tool. It stucks at removing registry for over 3 hours.
What could be the cause?
Hi Malmsteen - I've run into a couple of cases where the tool gets stuck in an infinite loop if it doesn't have permissions to delete one of the registry keys that it is trying to delete. Can you check and see what the last line in your log file says? You might have to try to manually take ownership of and delete the registry key that is causing the tool to get stuck. You can use steps like the ones at www.howtogeek.com/.../take-ownership-of-or-assign-full-permission-for-a-registry-key-in-windows-7 to take ownership of registry keys.
finally figured out how to get to files but am unclear and unsure about how to share. have read skydrive info but it is still unclear. hope this works
Hi Lou - This is the error I see in your log file:
Error 1923. Service '@C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\WPF\WPFFontCache_v0400.exe,-100' (WPFFontCache_v0400) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.
There might be an old version of that service stuck on your computer that is preventing this installation from working correctly. I'd suggest using the tool and the steps listed at blogs.msdn.com/.../8108332.aspx to fully remove the .NET Framework 4 from your computer and then try to re-install it from www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx.
i have acquired full admin rights however, when i log in as admin and windows opens i find that internet explorer does not work and i cannot access the internet to continue with the process. is this a problem or can i work from the owner
did the uninstall and then the reinstall in the owner position, install failed. i have now downloaded the programs i have used and i feel sure i can use them in the admin position as long as i do not need an internet connection. at this point then i am ready to proceed just wondering if you have any other advice before i begin..
also is "rollback progress" common to see during the install?
just discovered the downloads are not on admin side. suggestions on how and where to move them
did the uninstall and the reinstall on the admin side. it failed. i ran the log collection but cannot find it in the system on either side. also noted a warning note that the system needs 3.5 to run. is it possible i am installing the wrong one?
it's thursday afternoon and you may be gone for the holidays so wishing everyone well. enjoy it all.

This is a Warehousing Logistics application. I used Elance to translate it from Italian to English and I realized there are still many mistakes. I'm looking for some person with knowledge in both languages and hopefully some understanding of logistics to correct the translations. Strong English knowledge and knowing logistics and warehousing lingo is critical. I need to make sure it's correct because we're using English for translations to other languages.

An Olympic Price Tag: Salt Lake City's Tab for the 2002 Winter Games Will Reach Nearly $2 Billion. (Sports)
Hruby, Patrick, Insight on the News
Mitt Romney, president of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee (SLOC), made reducing the size and cost of the Games a priority during his tenure. Of course, there's only so much one man can do.
The 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, which began Feb. 8 and run until Feb. 24, are the biggest and most expensive Winter Games ever, featuring 2,400 athletes and a price tag of $2 billion. While private sources such as TV networks will foot much of the bill, federal, state and local taxpayers will pitch in about $625 million, roughly $1 of every $3 spent.
Twice as large and nearly six times more costly than the last Winter Olympics held in the United States -- the 1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid, N.Y. -- the Utah affair represents a significant step up from the 1998 Winter Games held in Nagano, Japan, for $1.14 billion. In fact, Salt Lake City's estimated $1.93 billion budget nearly equals that of the much larger 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney (which cost $1.97 billion) and approaches the gold-medal standard of the 1996 Atlanta Games, which set an Olympic spending record of $2.4 billion.
The staggering tab -- $114 million per day, or $817,000 per athlete -- reflects the overall growth of the Winter Games, as well as higher technology and security costs. It also stems from a venerable tradition in which each Olympic city attempts to top the pomp and pageantry of the last, often through lavish perks and extravagant -- if borderline ridiculous -- opening and closing ceremonies. A quick peek inside the Salt Lake Olympic budget reveals:
* $37.6 million for ceremonies.
* More than $300 million for security, a major concern in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
* $8 million for the cauldron that will contain the Olympic flame.
* $3 million for drug testing.
* $2.1 million to field 30,000 Olympic volunteers, and $209,999 for pre- and-post-Games parties for those volunteers.
* $322,000 for chauffeur-driven cars that will ferry International Olympic Committee (IOC) members around the city.
The Olympics seldom come cheap. In 1976, Montreal almost went broke playing host to the Summer Games; Denver gave the Winter Games back to the IOC after residents balked at the tax cost. In fact, the 2002 Paralympics -- held for disabled athletes in conjunction with the Winter Games -- are themselves slightly bigger than the 1980 Games, with 1,100 athletes and 34 events.
At Lake Placid, athletes slept in a prison. At Salt Lake City, they'll stay in a $121 million Olympic Village that includes 24-hour dining, an Internet center, mail services, dry cleaning, a bank, a post office, a coffee shop, a salon and a florist. As part of their contractual obligation to the IOC, organizers must dole out $1.3 million to house IOC members, their spouses and assorted apparatchiks at Salt Lake City's Little America, a luxurious hotel featuring oversized suites and Italian marble baths.
In addition, Salt Lake City officials are spending $291 million on electronic-timing devices and a sophisticated computer system (32,000 miles of fiber-optic cable connected to 4,200 terminals) that will track and distribute event results in real time. Other expenses will include $106 million in federal transportation funds, $50 million of Paralympic-exclusive costs, a reported $1 million for weather forecasting and $500,000 in legal expenses for a pair of former SLOC officials who were indicted in a bribery and corruption scandal (the charges were later dropped).
"The costs for the Games have skyrocketed over the years" says Cindy Gillespie, vice president of federal relations for the SLOC. "We're fortunate that revenues have also increased." Indeed, television-rights fees and corporate sponsorships are covering nearly half of the Olympics' total cost, with broadcasters such as NBC shelling out $443 million and companies such as Coca-Cola contributing $544 million. …

The San Jose Police Department will be the first law enforcement agency in the country to use new ear-mounted video and audio recorders on the job this month, and police say they will provide a new window into arrests and other situations.
The portable AXON cameras, made by Taser International, are expected to be given to 72 San Jose officers in late November or early December, police said. The cameras can record an officer's point of view for up to 10 1/2 hours, and police say the devices will help officers write more accurate reports and aid officers if their actions are called in to question.
"It's been in the works for the past year, and this will be a one-year pilot to see if these things work out," said San Jose Police spokesman Jermaine Thomas.

Sundubu jjigae
Sundubu jjigae (순두부찌개) is a jjigae (Korean stew) in Korean cuisine. The dish is made with uncurdled dubu (tofu), vegetables, sometimes mushrooms, onion, optional seafood (commonly oysters, mussels, clams and shrimp), optional meat (commonly beef or pork), and gochujang (chili paste) or gochu garu (chili powder). The dish is assembled and cooked directly in the serving vessel, which is traditionally made of thick, robust porcelain, but can also be ground out of solid stone. A raw egg is put in the jjigae just before serving (also optional), and the dish is delivered while still bubbling vigorously. This dish is typically eaten with a bowl of cooked white rice and several banchan (side dishes).[1]
The origins of using uncurdled tofu in Korean cuisine is not well documented, but records from the Joseon dynasty archives show an early form of sundubu jjigae being served. Some historians assume that uncurdled tofu use also spread to the masses during the Joseon dynasty.[2]
In the 1990s, Korean immigrants in Los Angeles brought sundubu jjigae to the United States.[3][4] Hee Sook Lee, a first-generation Korean immigrant, opened the first sundubu restaurant in the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles.[3]
