HUNTSVILLE, AL -- It's Thanksgiving Day and U.S. Army Spc. Michael Martin of Toney is in Afghanistan.
His parents are still in Toney and his wife and two children are in Germany. And the delay in Martin's answers during a recent interview from his post in Zabul underscores just how far away Martin is from home.
The family's bond, of course, is the Internet.
"The best way I can say to deal with it is you have the Family and Morale Welfare Recreation Center," Martin said.
In other words, there is no stipulation that Thanksgiving necessarily means gathering around a table with a turkey in the middle.
"You have to use these resources," Martin said, "and they are available 24/7."
Luxuries, no doubt, compared to days gone by when Martin's father, Thomas, served in Vietnam or when his father-in-law spent weeks at sea in the Navy.
But in a questionnaire to evaluate interests in doing media interviews, Martin wrote that he would like to talk about "what can be fun about deployments."
And one thing that's kept Martin entertained has somewhat transformed him physically. He said he weighed 117 pounds when he joined the Army and he's now up to 145 pounds.
And, no, he hasn't been getting a daily head start on the Thanksgiving dressing.
"You have to find that thing that works for you and go with it," Martin said. "For me, it was being able to access the Internet every now and then and talk to family and friends.
"And I go to the gym every day. I can bulk up, put some weight on and look good. And that way, when you go back home to your spouse, the only thing on their mind is, 'Holy Crap, what have you done with my spouse?' "
To wife Marti and children Nicholas and Emily, it's really him - no matter how different he might look.
"Fun for me is your own ability (to find something) that you both enjoy and can get something out of," he said. "Right now, I've gotten a lot out of going to the gym. You feel better about yourself and you've accomplished something. And that's really the goal."
When not working out or connected to home via cyberspace, Martin helps make sure communication is good throughout Afghanistan. In lay terms, he's a radio communication specialist.
His work day typically begins about 9 a.m. and ends about 5 p.m. But this isn't a routine job.
"Every day is a challenge," he said. "You always have to remember that you are in a combat environment. Anything goes and anything can happen at any time.
"Thankfully, I've never seen (any combat) here. Once you get acclimated to the environment and you understand that you are in a combat environment, it is pretty much a 9-to-5 job, so to speak."
For Martin, that acclimation period took about a month after he arrived in May. He took leave in October to Germany to be with his daughter on her eighth birthday and he's scheduled to leave Afghanistan in May 2011.
And he's already survived the Afghan summer, which was the biggest surprise for Martin despite having endured summers in Alabama.
"When you get blasted in the face with 120-degree weather and it just hits you all of the sudden and you've got all of your gear on, it hits you really hard," he said.
The other surprise?
"In close second with (the heat), really the country. The culture shock you go through when you meet the local nationals. This is how life is for these guys and they are OK with that. That's what they know."

No, the Hoboken Elysianettes aren't a 1960s girl group. They're Hoboken's newest running club for women.
The Elysianettes will meet for their first run this Saturday, Sept. 27 at 8:30 a.m. at the gazebo in Church Square Park for a run lasting anywhere from 3 to 11 miles.
After Saturday, the group will meet three more times a week, on Monday at 6 a.m. in front of the uptown New York Sports Club on 14th Street for a 3-mile run, on Tuesday at 8 p.m. at the corner of 6th and Hudson for a 4-5 mile run and Wednesday at 6 a.m. in front of the downtown New York Sports Club on Newark Street for a 3-mile run.
The running group says they are open to all and can accomodate beginning runners with shorter distances and more experienced runners who can do longer distances and have different training needs.

Highland Park's bid to reach the regional volleyball tournament for the first time in school history came up short Tuesday as Denver City knocked off the Lady Hornets, 25-21, 25-18, 25-21, in a Region I-2A quarterfinal at Lubbock High.
"(Denver City) had one senior that is a phenomenal player. She could put the ball down," Highland Park head coach Sarah Hallum said. "We stopped her, but she had some good blocks. She came out swinging and she put on a show.
"We left 110 percent on the floor. I am so incredibly proud of this team and what they have left behind for Highland Park volleyball."
Megan Cook had 11 kills for Highland Park, which finished the season 25-13. Teammate Annabelle Estrada had 12 digs.
Denver City def. Highland Park, 25-21, 25-18, 25-21
Kills-Megan Cook 11, Whitney Shaffer 9. Digs-Annabelle Estrada 12, Kylee Metts 11. Assists: Leesa Lopez 15, Metts 10. Aces-Metts 4, Briana Whitley 2, Kimmy Mayhue 2, Cook 2. Blocks: Mayhue 4, Sharley Hale 2.
■ Dumas rolls into region tourney: The No. 5 Dumas Demonettes are rolling at the perfect time, and they'll be pulling up into the Region I-4A tournament.
Dumas swept Lake Dallas, 25-17, 25-17, 25-22, in a Region I-4A quarterfinal at Childress. The Demonettes (39-8) will play Byron Nelson in the Region I-4A semifinals on Friday at McMurry University in Abilene.
Clutch efforts by the top two hitters paved the way for the Demonettes as Alexi Davis led the way with 21 kills and Allison Kiewiet had 18 kills. Coach Jack Wilson, who is retiring after the end of the season, couldn't have been happier with the effort.
"I think we played great," Wilson said. "Lake Dallas was a really good team. I think we played good defense and kept taking it back at them. I think it's about as well as we've played all year."
Two more wins at the I-4A tournament, and the Demonettes will return to the state tournament for the first time in five years — when they won the 2006 state championship.
"It's nice to finally get back to this point," Wilson said.
Dumas def. Lake Dallas 25-17, 25-17, 25-22
Dumas—Kills: Alexi Davis 21, Allison Kiewiet 18. Blocks: Davis 4, Kiewiet 2.5. Digs: Davis 16, Haleigh Valenzuela 17. Assists: Baylie Wackler 19, Holly Ollinger 16. Aces: Shae Stroebel 2, Wackler 1.
Record: Dumas 39-8.
■ Borger swept by Monahans: Borger saw its season come to an end in a Region I-3A quarterfinal as the Lady Bulldogs fell to perennial power Monahans, 25-15, 25-20, 25-20, at Lubbock.
Raygen Eakins had five kills for Borger, which finished the season 22-20.

Tipps was named to the first team, and Cano earned second-team honors.

Hi everybody,
Unfortunately I have received some bad news. ThePowerHouse, one of our most esteemed forum members, passed away a few weeks ago. I have confirmed this news with a reliable source, so I thought it was only appropriate to bring it to your attention. He was a huge contributor to these forums - extremely helpful with advice and product reviews - and he will be sorely missed.
I am going to leave this post open for comments, but please be respectful in whatever you say. I will have zero tolerance for anything less.
Thank you,

Quit Smoking Resources
Quit Smoking Resources
Access the following resources for tools, education and support to help you quit smoking successfully.
Telephone Support
Telephone counseling is convenient way for people who have busy schedules or are unable to secure transportation to get support with quitting. Most telephone counseling programs employ specialists who help plan a quit method that fits each person's unique smoking pattern.

Counselors may recommend a combination of methods including prescription or over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapy, support classes, and self-help brochures.
- Call 1-800-QUIT NOW for free support with a trained counselor in Pennsylvania, who will talk to you about whether you are ready to quit or just thinking about it. You can request a variety of free services, including self-help materials, a referral list of other programs in your community, and one-one phone counseling to help you quit.
- Call 1-800-ACS-2345 or 1-800-227-2345 to find a Quitline® phone counseling program in your area through the American Cancer Society.

The Blues will be well represented in Sochi. The team will send 10 players to compete in the Winter Olympics, representing six different countries.
– David Backes
– T.J. Oshie
– Kevin Shattenkirk
– Alex Pietrangelo
– Jay Bouwmeester
– Alexander Steen
– Patrik Berglund
– Vladimir Tarasenko
Czech Republic
– Vladimir Sobotka
– Jaroslav Halak
The 10 representatives from St. Louis ties the most that any team will send to the NHL. Chicago and Detroit will also send 10 players to Sochi.
The Blues would have had 11 players joining the Olympics, but the Czech team decided to leave Roman Polak back in the States. There's been some debate over his exclusion and whether or not it's injury related, but the fact remains that the Blues fans will have plenty of players and countries to cheer for in February.

WYTHEVILLE -- Grayson County battled George Wythe to the end last Friday night before losing the opening game of the Region C Division 2 playoffs, 21-14 at Pendleton Field.
It was the first time the Blue Devils had advanced to the playoffs since 2007 and ironically it was against George Wythe.
The Blue Devils fought from behind twice to tie the game at 7 and 14.
The Maroons (7-3) got on the scoreboard on their opening drive.
HILLSVILLE –– If a football season is a journey, then Carroll County has covered quite a distance since August.
The Cavaliers, who dropped a 17-14 decision to Bassett on opening night, showed just how far they've come in the 11 weeks since, rolling to a 39-21 win over the Bengals in the first round of the Region IV Division 4 playoffs Friday at Tommy Thompson Field.
DUFFIELD –– Galax was within a couple of points of forcing a fifth set in the Group A Division 1 state quarterfinals when a Rye Cove rally ended the Maroon Tide's season with a 25-23, 25-22, 21-25, 25-23 defeat. Complete coverage will appear online and in Friday's print edition.
Galax will play at Bath County and Carroll County will travel to Christiansburg in region semifinal football games Friday.
HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County gets a do-over.
Having just suffered a last-second, 17-14 loss to Bassett to open the 2010 season back in August, a common sentiment along the Cavaliers' sideline was, boy, I'd like to have another chance at that one.
Carroll County will get that opportunity tonight (Friday) when the Cavaliers and Bengals open Region IV Division 4 playoff action at Tommy Thompson Field.
INDEPENDENCE –– If the Region C Division 2 football playoffs are as interesting as the regular season, the next three weeks should be a lot of fun.
Just how tight was the RCD2 field this year? Consider the following:
*Grayson County was stuck in ninth place with two weeks left in the season, needed to defeat an 8-1 team and get outside help just to crack the top six, and wound up as the No. 5 seed.
*One extra win by any of the six teams the Blue Devils defeated and Grayson would be hosting a first-round game.
Energy costs and consumption forecasts for winter suggest residents of the region will fare better than some of their fellow Southerners.
That's according to the Short-Term Energy Outlook released Tuesday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
It predicts energy consumption will drop in the South for all four fuels analyzed — electricity, heating oil, propane and natural gas — based on expectations of milder weather this winter than last.
HILLSVILLE — The Blue Ridge Plateau Regional Visitors Center may have to move out of its current location due to a proposed settlement in the AmerLink legal situation, but Carroll officials say they have an even better place in mind.
The tourism department wouldn't have to move far under this plan — just from the complex of log home models, across from the Southwest Virginia Farmers Market, to the nearby Market Village shops.
Virginians will be able to feed their families a Thanksgiving meal for less than $4.35 per person this year, according to an informal price survey conducted by the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation.
The survey of the price of basic items found on Americans' Thanksgiving tables places the average cost of a traditional meal for 10 adults this year at $43.39.
The menu includes turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, rolls, peas, cranberries, a relish tray of carrots and celery, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
She was so nervous and her heart was pounding so fast, Deana Richardson of Galax can't remember half of what happened as she ran from the audience to contestant row when she was asked to "Come on down" on "The Price is Right" on Oct. 4.
But, she will get to see her reaction when the episode airs at 11 a.m. on CBS on Monday.
The Blue Ridge Parkway has sustained in Carroll County a "globally rare" flower, because "America's Favorite Drive" also preserves the plant's habitat.
Field botanist Nancy Van Alstine of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation found the Cuthbert turtlehead on a rare plant survey in early September along a streamhead near the parkway.

Idea of the Day: We Need to Fix Wisconsin's Dysfunctional Supreme Court Elections
Judicial elections have changed dramatically in the past two decades as the amount of money spent to elect judges has skyrocketed. Special interests and political parties have poured money into supporting their favored candidates for state supreme courts. In recent years the Wisconsin Supreme Court has offered perhaps the most dramatic illustration of what happens with courts suffering from too much politics.
In our system of government, judges interpret and apply laws to situations involving two or more parties. State supreme court justices are the final interpreters of state constitutions, which means that the judiciary is responsible for holding state legislatures and governors accountable if they violate state constitutions. In the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton explained that judicial independence is crucial to ensuring that legislators do not enact laws that are popular but unconstitutional. If the judiciary is subject to the same political pressures as legislators, however, then it cannot serve its vital role as a check on the political branches of government.

I've been Primal for about 9 months now in terms of diet and sleep and have been getting on really well. I have lost over a stone and feel much fitter....
.. but and it is a big but ... I have done little focussed exercise. I am a primary teacher so am fairly active, walk whenever possible but would like to start back at the gym lifting things and perhaps some hiit training but don't know where to start. I used to do some pilates, cardio and light weights (rather girlie perhaps) as the male trainer is not sure what women should do in the gym (?)
I am reasonably fit and have only some slight arthritis in my knees.
Is there a good book, starting programme I could do ... I have thought about starting PBF but find it rather dry ... any suggestions? I have easy access to a small friendly gym.
I would be really grateful for a few ideas. Many thanks.

Classes are canceled, and buses and vans are scheduled to transport students back and forth to the beaches in South Haven to celebrate the college's tradition of "Day of Gracious Living."
"There will be hundreds of students at the beach," said K-College Student Commission President Meredith Quinlan. "I've been checking the weather every day and today was a beautiful day so we are heading to Lake Michigan to enjoy time together. Some students are doing community service learning projects."
The holiday was officially endorsed in 1974, just to give students a day off, but the college received complaints about the tradition interrupting curriculum schedules.
The complaints ended six years later, when a deadly tornado ripped through Kalamazoo, causing $50 million worth of damage on the "Day of Gracious Living," according to K-College.
After the twister, K-College students organized into groups and began cleaning up debris from the storm.
"In 2008, the day became Day of Gracious GIVING for hundreds of K students, as they again spread out across town to help neighborhoods with spring cleaning. They raked yards, planted flowers, painted houses, picked up trash," said K-College spokesman Jeff Palmer.

It was not, as David Brinkley remarked, "your ordinary Washington luncheon speech." The address that Britain's former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher gave the other day to a hotel ballroom full of people, invited by four conservative organizations, was 50 minutes of sustained and connected argumentation.
In a bit less than an hour, the visitor dealt with the Soviet Union and
Mikhail Gorbachev, the future role of NATO, the trade talks, the European Community and the next steps in the Middle East - to say nothing of lavishing praise on Presidents Bush and Reagan and whacking socialism hard enough to delight even the most rabid right-winger in the room.

In the manual for Saito's there is listed the RPM range and there is a prop range chart the SCALE chart is the best and closest to getting Max RPM in flight.. the aerobatic chart can over rev in flight...
There is no way to tell you what needle setting you need for fuel or day.
changing from 15% to 20% will make little difference in "needle" setting..
HSN is dependent on; {altitude, temp, humidity}density altitude and fuel quality, NOT prop size.
2S vs 4S fuel: from a fuel manufacturer;
"there is no real difference in the fuel that is marked 2S and 4S... read the ingredients: for a 4S you want min 18% oil 20% is better... no more than 15% shouldof this oil should be synthetic... if in doubt all more Castor (can't hurt). The higher the Nitro content , the better it will run and idle. Be carefull with this, the more nitro the more heat the motor develops, hot days run them rich."
--> I use 15% with 18% oil, then I add 2.5oz of Castor to bring oil to 20%
on my YS's I run 20% with 20% oil and add the same 2.5oz of Castor
one gallon of fuel is 128oz so 1.3 oz is approx 1%
hope this helps
I've had a satio and over tach it, dropped a valve and ruint the engine. It cost more to repair than a new one. it was a 50 GK, same thing happened top my dad on his 100.
Mike I hear ya we havn't had much flying weather either.
For the heli fuel, 30% nitro for me has always ran significantly cooler than 15%, idles better, transitions better, does everything better. Spins another 500rpm even. It's also got typically 20-25% oil. The problem is it's 100% synthetic normally, so you have to make damn sure you're not EVER too lean, or the engine will not like you. Castor is more forgiving about lean runs, whereas synthetic just burns off and you end up with nasty scratches or, at worst, a siezed engine in-flight. The other downside is the $30/gallon instead of $13-$15/gallon for 10-15%.
The HSN should be good. Now run at idle for about 20 - 30 secs then go full throttle to check the LSN. It should immediately speed up to max rpm. If the engine does anything but speed up to max, I adjust the LSN it tiny amounts until it does.
If you can't get the lsn adjusted, look for valve adjustment, glow plug, air leaks, bad fuel, low fuel pressure, and low nitro content.
The Saitos come with a Saito branded plug. Hangar-9 came out with a new four stroke plug last year. I have a couple but I have not used them yet. I rely on OS-F plugs. I have a new Saito 1.00 Black Night for the Corsair and I will put an OS plug in it before trying to start it.
In my experience, the Saito 180 performs best with an APC 17 x 6.
Any engine will run hot if you lean it out too much. I've never had trouble with running too lean on 30%. I always seem to run it too rich, which isn't exactly a bad thing on these engines.
Man I should go back and copy and paste the entire thread into a Book and sell it LOL the information I receive on this thread is just incredible
I'll have to try these suggestions out for sure as being new to the Saito world I need to trust nobody but the advice from My T_ _ _ Ted brothers
I may have a 17x6 prop on hand so I'll try that out too.
definitely putting the OS F plug in.
I may have some Monster juice someone gave me last year too I'll have to check out that, and the add oil thing too, I love experimenting anyway so it will be cool to try all these suggestions.
I always try to run on the rich side anyway, I like long life spans on my engines
I was never a fan of the synthetic fuels really, of course I use them all the time because thats all that is available sometimes, people say they burn cleaner Which is probably true but I hate the Black sticky residue left on the plane, at least the caster wipes off clean and doesn't stain the covering as much. but I'll have to try me some of that 30% heli fuel I'd like another 500 RPM's lol
My favorite fuel is Wildcat 15% with 18% oil, I think that fuel runs everyone of my engines the best. they just seem so much smoother, cooler and more efficient running then any other fuels I've tried, maybe its just a coincidence. I've heard from many people that cool power 2 stroke and their 4 stroke fuel just comes out of the same vat and the same for a few other brand name fuels.
Hot here too DOG lol Not boiling or anythng but Hot to me just the same
Of course I sold it 2 years ago but I had an OS 91 fs that I ran for 20 yrs on wildcat 15/18 fuel. I ran her a bit rich but when I sold her along with the sopwithcamel she was in, she ran like a new engine.
I did lapp the valve in once.
I mowed twist field yesterday and realized I could of flown the twist ( well maybe not, got a bum thumb) but still the wind didn't seem that bad. K49 thought it was going to be to windy.
Now some time back I told him to buy a twist but just like my wife he wanted to be differnt and bought a Tango.
Weather man says 30 plus today alittle to much for me now matter what shape I'm in.
Insanemoondoggie ( an old twist brother from the other place ) is moving from michgan I think down here to my neck of the woods.
He's retired now so maybe we'll get lots of flying in this summer.
We've had a rather cool spring and it looks like we may just jump into summer like some of you already have.
Today they are suppose to open the pools, it's going to hit the mid to high 80's but I'll bet that water temp is still going to be down.

Puppy Linux 5.2 "Wary" released
The Puppy Linux development team has announced the arrival of version 5.2 of the "Wary" edition of its independent Linux distribution. Puppy Linux is a popular small release that can run entirely from RAM and its primary focus is ease-of-use.
Based on the 126.96.36.199 Linux kernel, and with all of its base packages recompiled in the T2 System Development Environment, the new release is a "massive upgrade" to the 5.1.x series. Users can now easily upgrade from Xorg 7.3, which is still included by default to support older hardware, to version 7.6 for newer video devices by installing a single PET (Puppy's Extra Treats) package. Because of several problems, the gtkam GTK2 GUI for libgphoto2 has been replaced with PupCamera for automatically detecting digital cameras.

Department of Energy, through the Biomass Program in the Office
of Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy, has contracted with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to
prepare this Biomass Energy Data Book. The purpose of this data
book is to draw together, under one cover, biomass data from
diverse sources to produce a comprehensive document that supports
anyone with an interest or stake in the biomass industry. Given
the increasing demand for energy, policymakers and analysts need
to be well-informed about current biomass energy production activity
and the potential contribution biomass resources and technologies
can make toward meeting the nation's energy demands. This is
the fourth edition of the Biomass Energy Data Book and it is
only available online in electronic format. Because there are
many diverse online sources of biomass information,
the Data Book provides links to many of those valuable information
sources. Biomass
energy technologies used in the United States include an extremely
diverse array of technologies - from wood or pellet stoves used
in homes to large, sophisticated biorefineries producing multiple
products. For some types of biomass energy production, there
are no annual inventories or surveys on which to base statistical
data. For some technology areas there are industry advocacy groups
that track and publish annual statistics on energy production
capacity, though not necessarily actual production or utilization.
The Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration
(EIA) produces annual estimates of biomass energy utilization
and those estimates are included in this data book. Information
from industry groups are also provided to give additional detail.
An effort has been made to identify the best sources of information
on capacity, production and utilization of most of the types
of biomass energy currently being produced in this country. It
is certain, however, that not all biomass energy contributions
have been identified. With the rapid expansion in biomass technologies
that is occurring, bioenergy production information may not
yet be available, or may be proprietary.
It is even more difficult to track the diverse array of biomass
resources being used as feedstocks for biomass energy production.
Since most of the biomass resources currently being used
for energy or bioproducts are residuals from industrial,
agricultural or forestry activities, there is no way to systematically
inventory biomass feedstock collection and use and report
it in standard units. All biomass resource availability and
utilization information available in the literature are estimates,
not inventories of actual collection and utilization. Biomass
utilization information is derived from biomass energy production
data, but relies on assumptions about energy content and
conversion efficiencies for each biomass type and conversion
technology. Biomass availability data relies on understanding
how much of a given biomass type (e.g., corn grain) is produced,
alternate demands for that biomass type, economic profitability
associated with each of those alternate demands, environmental
impacts of collection of the biomass, and other factors such
as incentives. This book presents some of the information
needed for deriving those estimates, as well as providing
biomass resource estimates that have been estimated by either
ORNL staff or other scientists. In all cases
it should be recognized that estimates are not precise and
different assumptions will change the results.

House of Orchid
House of Orchid
4690 Convoy Street.
San Diego, CA 92111
(858) 776-9205
I was made aware of House of Orchid, a new Korean restaurant, by Cathy at mmm-yoso through this post. While there appears to be many new restaurants popping up in this plaza that I have yet to try, Cathy's review of the good service and 8 plates of panchan made me want to check this place out while it was still new.
Boyfriend and I were immediately greeted by the owner of the place upon entering. After greeting us in Korean, and seeing our non-korean response, he immediately said "You're Chinese?" I nodded my head. Then I think I heard him tell the waiters that we were chinese (I'm guessing a bit here since I don't know much Korean, but that's what it sounded like.) I thought this whole thing a bit amusing.
Boyfriend wondered why they categorized us (and was a bit offended because he's not Chinese). I told him my guess was that by identifying us as Chinese, they knew what sort of dishes to recommend and such. Sure enough, the waiter who took our order asked us if we liked Korean food, if it was too spicy for us, etc.
We were first given a pitcher of cold barley tea.
I prefer mine warm, but the cold one was okay too.
Behind us was a fish tank with some live fish and abalone.
In addition to the menu, the wall had photos featuring some of their dishes. One of the pictures featured a handmade noodle soup. I've been craving handmade noodles lately like hand pulled noodles or knife shaved noodles. I guessed that the handmade noodles here were not the same. They looked to be similar to the ones my mom has bought at korean markets. They are prepackaged and "handmade." While not as thick and chewy as the ones made fresh in restaurants, they are slightly chewier than the standard flat noodle. I asked the waiter about the handmade noodles and whether they actually made them, and he laughed nervously as said that they are prepurchased. I decided to order it anyway, ordering the handmade seafood noodle soup.
Boyfriend loves bulgolgi so he got the beef bulgolgi. We noticed that for just a few dollars more ($3 I think), you could get a combination with tofu stew. So we decided to order that, getting the soybean tofu stew.
While we were waiting for our food, I observed the owner who was very attentive. I told Boyfriend that the owner was a good businessman because of how he interacted with other customers, not just provided good service, but really marketing the place, telling people to recommend his restaurant, etc.
We sat around for a while, and the owner noticed that we had nothing in front of us and immediately yelled something out to the waiters. A waiter arrived right after, very apologetic, and gave us our panchan. I felt bad for the waiter and told him it was okay.
We were given 7 plates of panchan. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by them. They weren't my favorite ones for the most part, and some of them Boyfriend and I ended up not eating. Like the chili peppers pickled in chili sauce.
Boyfriend's Beef Bulgogi soon came out. He really enjoyed this dish. I liked it too, but then I haven't met a beef bulgogi dish I didn't like. It almost always tastes the same.
The soybean tofu stew came out soon after. Boyfriend and I were both surprised about the large quantity we were given. Since it was in a combination order, we expected something a bit smaller. I was also very happy with all that was inside. I thought perhaps it would just be plain tofu and soybean paste. But there were clams, beef, squash and other ingredients inside. Definitely worth the extra few dollars.
This is actually my first experience with soybean tofu stew. I loved it. The strong, pungent taste of the soybean paste was delicious. It was reminiscent of why I enjoy stinky tofu. I thought Boyfriend would not like the strong taste, but he liked it also.
This was my seafood noodle soup. So after I ordered the seafood noodle soup, the owner had come up to our table and suggested I add abalone for only $4 more. He pointed to the tank behind me, said they had live abalone and it would be lightly steamed and put on top of the noodles. (I told you he was a good businessman!) Since I love abalone, how could I resist? So I agreed to order it with the abalone.
However, when my food came out, the abalone was nowhere to be found. When the owner saw this, he immediately alerted the waiters, who apologized several times in the next few minutes while we waited for my abalone. I felt bad that they kept apologizing. I watched one waiter go into the tank and get an abalone and then bring it back to be cooked. While we were waiting for the abalone, the owner brought us a plate of California rolls. We were very surprised by this gesture. The rolls were pretty tasty.
Finally, my abalone came out.
When I bit into it, I found it to be extremely fishy tasting. I don't think I've ever had live abalone that is fishy tasting. I decided to put it in my soup. The strong onion flavor in my soup absorbed the fishiness and let me enjoy the abalone more. The noodle soup was pretty good, though very strong in onion and pepper flavors. The noodles were nice and chewy.
Overall, it was a pretty good experience. By the end of the meal though, Boyfriend was no longer able to handle the spiciness and couldn't finish his soybean stew. I have to agree this place was on the spicy side. The noodle soup was spicy, the soybean stew was spicy, almost all the panchan dishes were spicy. No dish was too spicy on its own, but if you are eating spicy dish after spicy dish and you don't have a high tolerance for spicy, then it can definitely be a bit overwhelming.
After we left, Boyfriend and I were discussing service and how good service at a restaurant can really change everything. Had we had mediocre service at Orchid, the food was not good enough that we would keep coming back. But since we had such great service, we left feeling quite happy even though we didn't necessarily love everything we ordered.
6 Responses to "House of Orchid"
That was a nice review! I totally agree w/ you that service can make or break an experience.
Did they also have a sushi/sashimi menu? I noticed the live fish in your pics so I'm wondering if they use that for sashimi?
I love your blog – keep writing the reviews
Oh yes, I forgot to mention the sushi/sashimi since we didn't have any. They do indeed have a small sushi bar. Also posted on the board outside there was something saying 50% off rolls. When we sat down we weren't given a sushi menu. I don't know if you have to request it or sit at the bar or what. I'm glad you enjoy my blog. I enjoy your yelp reviews!
I agree with you about the service, Kirbie. Very attentive. They questioned us about how spicy we like food also and one of us always says that we want to be able to taste the ingredients and just feel some heat.
It's so rare to find attentive service at these places…I was so happy!
Wow, sounds good. Asking if you're Korean is apparently very common, but it's usually out of a desire to help you.
In America they always assume you're Chinese if you're not Korean. In Korea, they always assume you're Japanese, because of all the tourists. At the queen's palace, they tried to give me a map in Japanese, even though I asked *in Korean* for an English one! =) "Honorable sir, no need to trouble yourself – we have a Japanese map made for you!" Thanks.
Heehee. That's funny! I didn't know that about Korea. I haven't had a chance to visit.

Jackson in the House [Robert Costa]
Rev. Jesse Jackson has appeared outside of the House chamber. He tells National Review Online that as he walked through the anti-Obamacare rally, he was subject to racial slurs "words that I have heard for so long, a spirit of meanness and fear." He says the "ideological lines being drawn resemble a civil war." The protesters, he says, are being "programmed by the elitists to demonize . . . just Iike they demonized Dr. King and Nelson Mandela." He adds that he will stay at the Capitol to "watch history."

Suits me. I'm tired of sharing a flag with the likes of Jesse Jackson.
The revolution is coming Jesse and you, for one, won't like it!
Drama Queen is pissed that he isn't the top black from Chicago anymore.
Nelson Mandela is a communist who never had an unkind word about Mugabe. No one had any slurs but they will lie and the TV newsmedia will spread the lie.
Did Jesse have any of his illegitimate children with him? You know, as witnesses.
Haven't we predicted this here for a long time?
Haven't you heard all the reports of the racial slurs being slung around against whites at the immigration rally today? No? Hmmm, the propagandists for our side seem to be sleeping.
Video or it didn't happen, Jesse.
He's full of hogwash, the liar.
Isn't that just the race pimp. Come to the party at the end of the night and try to take credit for being there all the time. Go back to your mistress fool.
He is lying.
There is a worse war being fought in all the ghetto's of the big cities and it is black on black. So far, nothing that this President has done has helped,but only made things worse. He has destroyed welfare reform, he has bankrupted the cities and states with new levies, and he continues to allow millions of illegals to take jobs from black people. We don't need a civil war to destroy the black community..this President is doing it all by himself.
Good grief! Jesse's gotta get in on the pile on. His face hasn't been on TV enough lately to stroke his overblown ego.
he doesn't need to...obama's errand boys in the criminal liberal media will take the accusation for truth without a shred of evidence....
the larger question is why is he allowed in the house chamber when 10's of 1000's of Americans were denied entry into the Capital yesterday??
Dr. King would not be proud of Obanga, how he has taken race back 100's of years!!!
Jesse Jackson is such a credible, upstanding and impeccable citizen. I mean, who wouldn't be everything he says?
About right, I think. I can't think of a better thing to die fighting for.
>Jesse Jackson calls for Civil War,
For once in my "racist" life, I agree with this douchebag 100%.
there are so many people like Jackson who are filled with this crap they carry around. Im sick & tired of the victim mentality.
I say give it to him good
Oh, stop it, he did not. The man's an ass. He probably knocked over half the stuff in his house to get out the door in order to be in time to be "racially slurred." The thing to do now is to stay cool, calm and collected and PLAN what we do next.
Calm down folks. Jesse just smells the smell of cold hard cash everywhere there is conflict involving blacks.
why do people give him airtime. Obama has truly been the most evil man
Jesse Jackson LOL this is the same idiot who said on TV that he wanted to see Obama's nuts cut off
Hear, hear!
Evidencing his true values, Jackson has frequently refused to help ordinary, less affluent blacks. By his own admission, Jacksons game is pay-to-play. For example, farm activist and former NAACP official Eddie Slaughter contacted Jackson seeking assistance in forestalling black farm bankruptcies possibly caused by Department of Agriculture misconduct. Despite such a compelling cause, Jackson insisted on a six-figure payment. Miffed, Slaughter labeled Jackson a "poverty pimp" who exploits black poverty to enrich himself and his cronies.-——— "Jesse Jackson Exposed," By Chris Arabia, FrontPageMagazine.com, December 9, 2002
I can see the game that is being played here, and I don't like it one bit. This is how they are going to come after us. I was in Washington Tuesday and again on Saturday; I did not see any animosity like the type that is being described. As a matter of fact, there were people from all walks of life, diverse, if you will.
In Philadelphia, we had a mayor state "The brothers and sisters are running the city" (into the ground); Black Panthers blocked a voting precinct. Can't play those race card games with them anymore, I don't care.
From now until November, I am working for repeal; I'll be at every town hall, meetup, listeniing tour, etc. that they care to have until martial law is declared.
Nelson Mandela was a communist. Not a slur BUT a fact!
He needs to get his hearing checked as they were saying "kill the bill"
There are more media than protesters in some places, camera phones, recorders, video recorders, Secret Service, Capital Hill police, security cameras, etc,,,,,and not one of these racial slurs are on tape. What. Are. The. Odds.....
I think they are lying.
Slurs aren't the problem, Obamacare is. It was a BLACK man that harrassed my husband and I yesterday in DC. Why isn't that in the news? Because we're grown ups and know a nut job when we see one. Get over it cry-baby victim con man Jackson.
Yes we have..and the Beta males on the Right have been running the show for the last 50 years.
Time to boot them...Michael Steele first...and ignore them on FR when they tell you to remain calm and bend over once more.
Lying works...our side should try it sometimes.
This thread needs to be removed.
Racism is a life choice, and people like Jesse have made chosen it. People who thrive on hate, shouldn't be surprised when they get it back.

Jesse Jackson was born as Jesse Louis Burns on October 8, 1941 in Greenville, SC. Almost right after Jesse was born, his father, ran out on the family never to return again. His mother in time remarried and in 1956, Jesse assumed the last name of his stepfather, Jackson.
Jackson's hatred of white people started at a young age. Horace Nash, a classmate of Jesse's recalls his contempt for White's: "He [Jackson] made up foolish jokes about Whites, about how stupid they were," remembers Nash. "He used to turn things around, and he actually looked down on White people."via 126 posted on 01/16/2005 12:39:02 PM PST by Calpernia
1950s : (GREENVILLE, SC : JESSE BURNS aka JESSE JACKSON, A WAITER, SPITS INTO THE SOUPS AND SALADS OF WHITE CUSTOMERS-— See BLACK PANTHERS) Jesse Jackson admitted in a November 1969 "Life" magazine interview that when he worked during the 1950's as a waiter in a Greenville, South Carolina hotel he spat into the soups and salads of White customers. "[Spitting into the food] gave me a psychological gratification," Jackson said. via 126 posted on 01/16/2005 12:39:02 PM PST by Calpernia

Uh, is there a difference in these two stories? One you posted and this one below? Is hurling racist insults now a talking point to pass HCR?
Please do not alter the title from the source. It makes searching on the article impossible.
The only people I ever, EVER hear using the n...word are other blacks.
This needs repeating:
"Deep rooted prejudices entertained by the whites; ten thousand reflections, by the blacks, of the injuries they have sustained; new provocations; the real distinction which nature has made; and many other circumstances will divide us into parties, and produce convulsions, which will probably never end but in the extermination of one or the other race."
Thomas Jefferson
Amazing that someone like him would run into the arms of the party of the slave masters,the democrats, and scream that the party of Lincoln,the republicans, were against him!

EXLOG Wargame is a USMC annual exercise that typically takes place during the summer months and has been occurring over the last 8 years. The Deputy Commandant of the Marine Corps for Installations and Logistics (DC I&L) is the advocate for the Wargame. Its purpose is to demonstrate improved Logistics Chain Management (LCM) and Command and Control for Logistics (C2 for Log) operational capabilities in order to guide I&L's advocacy efforts and future resource investments.
To accomplish this, partnership with PP&O, CD&I, MCSC, LOGCOM, OPFOR, OPNAV N4, ONR, & Industry are entered into and events are scheduled to allow for the demonstration, sharing, exploitation and review of technologies, solutions, processes and ideas. One key goal is understanding how to achieve an interoperable log IT portfolio that provides a more integrated and scalable end-to-end Logistics Chain Management (LCM) and Command and Control (C2) for Logistics capability supporting the Operating Forces' and the Supporting Establishment's requirements.
EXLOG Wargame VII was held in Quantico, VA during June of 2013 and utilized a Joint/Inter Agency and Coalition Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief scenario. Actual USMC, USN and British Army elements participated in this two week evolution. This video is a synopsis of the events and activities that occurred during this Wargame.

Dividend checks continue to get fatter in corporate America, as more companies jack up their distribution rates.
Readers of the Income Investor newsletter can certainly appreciate that kind of thinking. Let's take a closer look at some of the companies that inched their payouts higher these past few days.
We can start with Questcor Pharmaceuticals (UNKNOWN: QCOR.DL ) . The drugmaker's quarterly dividend is moving 25% higher to $0.25 a share. Why not? It's coming off a strong quarter with revenue and profitability more than doubling. Despite knocks of the high price of its flagship Acthar gel, it's clearly popular. The move pushes Questcor's yield to just above 3%.
Sturm, Ruger (NYSE: RGR ) is also arming its investors with dividend checks packing more firepower. Fueled by another better-than-expected quarter as legislation-wary consumers load up on firearms, Sturm, Ruger is beefing up its rate to $0.404 a share. Sturm, Ruger shells out roughly 40% of its earnings as distributions, so improving profitability results in more money returning to its stakeholders.
Pacific Coast Oil Trust (NYSE: ROYT ) is another gusher. Higher crude oil prices and a boost in production afford the limited partnership the ability to increase its monthly distribution to $0.15403 per unit for March.
Finally, we have Waste Management (NYSE: WM ) turning trash into treasure. The waste hauler is giving its quarterly payout a 3% boost to $0.365 a share. Picking up trash is a dirty job, but it's a consistently clean gig for investors.
Checks and balances
Subscribers to the Income Investor newsletter can appreciate the companies sending more and more money to their investors. The newsletter singles out companies that are committed to growing their distributions with market-thumping results. A 30-day trial subscription will let you see if it's right for you.

A glorified dessert at Café L'Europe is a delicacy to devour
- 12:18 pm Thursday, July 23rd, 2015 by M.M. Cloutier
When it comes to fine dining and dessert, there's probably no drama more captivating than the soufflé.
Anticipation builds early, when the dessert soufflé must be ordered at the same time you indicate your entrée choice.
By the time the fragile soufflé is served—having been prepared by what one imagines is a pastry chef with the finesse of a danseuse—wondrous delight is all but guaranteed.
The thing is, dessert soufflés aren't a common offering at all at restaurants in Palm Beach (or elsewhere, for that matter).
Which is why discovering them at Café L'Europe, 331 S. County Road, is a boon for soufflé-seekers.

That's because when last weekend's shindig wound down after midnight, the general that-was-so-much-fun consensus was: Let's do it again.

Editorial: An unreasonable request
The Medal of Honor - the nation's highest military award - is supposed to go to military personnel who exhibit uncommon valor on the battlefield.
However, to honor the unknown warriors buried in the Tomb of Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, the government bestowed the Medal of Honor on the remains of those brave men. That exception is meant to honor the unknown warriors.
Now we have a situation involving the family of a man whose remains have been removed from the Tomb of the Unknowns and identified as those of Air Force Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie. The family wants Blassie to have the Medal of Honor in his own name.
The family is making an unreasonable request of the Pentagon.
This is a difficult call for the Pentagon to make. The Defense Department agreed to exhume Blassie's remains only after it had received substantial forensic evidence that Blassie, indeed, was interred in the tomb. Once extensive DNA testing proved Blassie's identity beyond a doubt, the family took its son and brother home to St. Louis for burial.
Thus, a terrible family tragedy found its proper closure.
To make yet another exception for Blassie, though, would run counter to the very reason the nation bestowed the Medal of Honor for the unknowns. They received that honor only because their identities are known "but to God."
The Medal of Honor should stay with the unknowns.

LONDON (AP) -- Allrounder Thisara Perera smashed 49 off 20 balls to lift Sri Lanka to 183-7 against England on Tuesday in its first Twenty20 international since winning the world title last month.
Lahiru Thirimanna weighed in with 40 and T20 debutant Kithuruwan Vithanage added 38 to give England a tough target to chase in the one-off T20 match at The Oval before a five-match one-day series and two tests later in Sri Lanka's tour.
Perera hit seven fours and two sixes in the final five overs of the innings before getting run out on the final ball, chasing his fifty after crashing a ball into the stumps at the other end of the crease.
Harry Gurney marked his T20 debut for England with team-best figures of 2-26.

Does Erie have plans in event of rail disaster?
For folks like Dale Robinson, director of Erie County's Emergency Management Agency, last week's deadly train derailment in Quebec is a reminder of what can go wrong, proof that worst-case scenarios sometimes happen.
But it doesn't mean he's worried.
Experience, he said, has taught him just how unlikely such a catastrophe is, even in a densely populated place like Erie, where an average of 70 trains each day run through the main rail corridor close to thousands of people.
The majority of those trains, according to Erie County's Long Range Transportation Plan, are carrying coal, cars and household goods packed onto semitrailers.
But that's not the only thing being carried on all those trains that rumble through town.

Modeling a Negative Refractive Index
Application ID: 12583
It is possible to engineer the structure of materials such that both the permittivity and permeability are negative. Such materials are realized by engineering a periodic structure with features comparable in scale to the wavelength. It is possible to model both the individual unit cells of such a material, as well as to model to properties of a bulk negative index material. This example demonstrates the correct way to model a metamaterial domain with bulk negative permittivity and permeability.
This application was built using the following:RF Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on the physics interfaces that define it. Particular physics interfaces may be common to several products (see the Specification Chart for more details).

Facebook users don't have to be just "male" or "female" anymore. The social media site has now added a "custom" choice to the gender option menu.
The change allows people to identify themselves with words like androgynous, bi-gender, intersex, gender fluid, or transsexual.
Facebook users can also keep their gender identity private.
Debon Garrigues, from Asheville, N.C., applauded the move.
"For me, this is about much more than a button on a monitor," Garrigues said. "This encourages people to think outside the binary spectrum. It means I don't have to try to fit in the wrong boxes."
But some were less than thrilled with the development.
"Of course Facebook is entitled to manage its wildly popular site as it sees fit, but here is the bottom line: It's impossible to deny the biological reality that humanity is divided into two halves - male and female," Jeff Johnston, an issues analyst for Focus on the Family, said.
"Those petitioning for the change insist that there are an infinite number of genders, but just saying it doesn't make it so," he continued. "That said, we have a great deal of compassion for those who reject their biological sex and believe they are the opposite sex."

A lot of people know what model-actress Andie MacDowell, 27, looks like. Besides appearing on more Vogue covers than she can remember, the 5'8", brunette beauty succeeded Brooke Shields as the Calvin Klein jeans girl. But not many people know what Andie sounds like, and that bothers her. If you saw her first film, 1984's Greystoke (she was the Earl's ward who gets the vapors for Tarzan), you actually heard Glenn Close's dubbed-over voice. If you catch her in the summer's hot St. Elmo's Fire, as the doctor who makes Emilio Estevez swoon, you'll hear a trained, homogenized version of her voice. No, you have to go back two years ago to that Calvin Klein commercial in which she soliloquizes about cracker life down South—Dot 'n' Earl and The Happy Valley Trailer Court—to hear the real thing: a slow, delicious, drawn-out Blanche DuBois drawl.
MacDowell's voice is important to her because it's Southern, and anything ripe, sensual and magnolia-laced is vital to her. There was nothing of Dixie, however, on the set of St. Elmo's, about a group of college friends, where the Brat Pack (Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy) held sway. "Here were all these young Hollywood actors," says Andie, "and I'm from Gaffney, this teeny tiny little dot in South Carolina." She was thoroughly intimidated. But going bowling with the cast and attending Rob Lowe's 21st birthday party helped put her at ease. If the pack does indeed have a bratty side, Andie says she never saw it. She praises her co-star Estevez, Martin Sheen's son, as "really sweet. I don't know what it's like having a famous father and growing up in Hollywood, but I don't think Emilio was spoiled," Andie says. "I told him I was frightened and he said not to worry, that acting was like dancing—you just get up and do it."
For MacDowell, it's not that simple. Knocking back White Russians (vodka, crème de cacao, cream) in a Manhattan cafe just one block from her one-bedroom Upper West Side apartment, Andie reflects on the Southern background that still shapes her life. She grew up in Tennessee Williams country—that hot tin roof region of the soul where she was troubled and traumatized by her mother's miseries. "My mother was an alcoholic and ashamed of it," she says. "She just wanted to get drunk, to forget. She was a teacher and lost her job. It was so sad."
While close to her father, a lumber company owner, Andie (born Anderson) MacDowell was raised by her mother after her parents divorced when she was 7. Andie was particularly attached to her mother, who died of a heart attack four years ago at age 53. "She loved to garden. She'd pick flowers for me. I loved her so much. It was very sad that she drank. For four years I would only drink water. I don't like the taste of alcohol. Even now I have to have sugary drinks."
Looking back, Andie sees her childhood as a period of maladjustment. Unlike her four older sisters, prom-queen types all, "I was wild looking. I had this wild hair and these big old lips. I was the first person to double pierce my ears, and I had friends in both races, which wasn't usual there. When people objected, I said—-'em. I just made it worse. I'd wear T-shirts with no bra and hiphuggers with small halter tops. I guess I liked being sexy."
Andie's sexuality became her ticket out of Gaffney. After two years at Winthrop College, in Rock Hill, S.C., MacDowell began haunting the New York-Paris modeling circuit. With due speed she was posing for such top photographers as Richard Avedon, Irving Penn and Bruce Weber.
Her photos in British Vogue vaulted her into Greystoke, and although being dubbed was infuriating at the time, Andie understands now why it happened. "My voice would've stuck out in the film, and my accent was much stronger then. It made me work hard. Now my voice is much richer." (Determined not to get burned by St. Elmo's Fire, she had a no-dubbing clause put in her contract.)
The interview is interrupted when Craig Sheffer, Andie's boyfriend of eight months stops by. "Don't feed the dog," Andie reminds him. The dog is Kounack, a 93-pound Alaskan mala-mute. Sheffer, a 25-year-old actor, will soon appear with Emilio Estevez in That Was Then, This Is Now. She met Craig at her agent's party last fall. "We have not left each other's side since that night," she says. "Isn't he precious?" Craig, Kounack and Andie share the country-cluttered apartment that she purchased with her $3,500-a-day modeling fees.
When she isn't working as a model (she's currently in a L'Oréal TV spot) or holing up at home watching rented video movies with Craig, Andie works out a strategy for her acting career. Unlike many of her model-turned-actress colleagues, MacDowell has no delusions of dethroning Streep. "I haven't achieved a star-role type thing," she admits. What she wants is more challenging work and more of a chance to be sexy. "I haven't been able to use my sensuality yet except in commercials," she says. "My sexuality is untapped." Listen up, Hollywood.

The GoPro HD Hero2 boasts improved optics, a few new video- and still-photo-shooting modes, and backward compatibility with current HD Hero accessories. Most importantly, its interface has been overhauled and is now much easier to view and understand. As improved as it is, the Hero2's interface can still be a bit confusing for the first-time user.
The GoPro HD Hero2 is calmly the best GoPro camera yet, with the ruggedness and affection that we have appear to apprehend and a new convenient interface.
I have had a bit of a love-hate accord with the GoPro HD Hero that we have acclimated during the recording of the Car Tech Live podcast for the after most year or so. On the one hand, the Hero takes astounding wide-angle video, is ridiculously abiding acknowledgment to its polycarbonate shell, and (when you get the settings right) almost accessible to use. However, that aftermost bit is additionally my better point of altercation with the aboriginal few ancestors of the GoPro Hero cameras; I am a self-proclaimed architect who's recorded hours of footage application the HD Hero and I still accept to breach out the ailing
accounting apprenticeship area to change any of the settings. More generally than not, I aloof leave the settings area I larboard them and aloof point and shoot.
So, while the latest era GoPro HD Hero2 landed on my desk boasting a develop interface, I determined to challenge myself to complete-test the machine without cracking the spine on its 90-page user manual.
Looking at the GoPro HD Hero2 ancillary by ancillary with the aboriginal HD Hero, reveals appreciably little change in the unit's anatomy factor. Both units are dimensionally identical and affection the aforementioned lens, ability button, bang button, and LCD awning placement. This agency that any waterproof cases or lens covers purchased for the HD Hero1 will still assignment with the HD Hero2, which is a acceptable affair for GoPro devotees. Likewise, both units affection the aforementioned rear angle and affiliation anchorage for GoPro's band of disposable BacPacs, which we'll altercate later.

Description Shipping and Payment More Info For practical purposes, of course, finish grade is immaterial. That is especially true with this 10 inch Bull Barrel Ruger Mark II .22 LR auto pistol. 10 inches, Adjustable sights, 10 shots. Light spotting and surface wear affect about 15 percent of this pistol's surface area by our estimate. Even though we have not cleaned this pistol internally, the mechanism and bore are, in the favorite word of our late customer Mr. John Campbell from Gibson County – flawless. Not only were the Mark II Rugers discontinued in the late 1990s, this blue-finish 10 inch bull MK-10 was discontinued before that. This one's serial number has a 215 prefix, made in 1990.
