CURRY HUT What used to be Two Guys from Italy now could be called A Few Guys from India. Actually, it's called Curry Hut, and Highwood finally has its first Indian restaurant. But there's a lot more going on here than curry.
Indian food is known for its complexity, its subtleties and its seasonings. Most Indian restaurants in the Chicago area, including Curry Hut, present North Indian cooking. Curry Hut goes further by including several choices from neighboring Nepal.
Some people associate Indian foods with peppery seasonings so hot they make you sweat. The truth is, the flavors are not uniform.
The easiest approach is to order one of two special combination dinners. They are relatively inexpensive and offer a variety of tastes and textures. The Curry Hut special dinner is a vegetarian meal, while its companion includes chicken, seafood, shrimp and lamb.
Both are quite good, though on one occasion the fish tikka was strong, the meats overcooked. The rich butter and vegetable sauces, however, make up for any minor lapses.
À la carte selections offer more variety. Appetizers such as samosas or pakoras are very easy for first-time diners. Both are deep-fried dumplings. Samosas are triangular and filled with meat or vegetables. Pakoras are vegetable-filled chick pea-floured crusts accompanied by three sauces.
Now, to the subject of tandoori cooking. A tandoor is a deep clay oven set over hot coals. Lamb, chicken and seafood are basted with a bright-red yogurt sauce and set on the inside of the tandoor to roast. Tandoori can be ordered à la carte as a dinner entrée.
Dal, or black lentils simmered with ginger, tomatoes and mild seasonings, is one of my favorites. We recently ordered mixed vegetables with cashews and fruits. We got a tasty mix, but it showed no sign of either cashew or fruit flavors.
Try the mild lamb curry, which proves that not all curries, by definition, need be hot. But should you want to splurge, curried lobster is the way to go: big chunks of lobster meat bathed in a mild yogurt sauce with garlic, ginger and cardamom. To soak up the sauces, order one of the nans, puffed warm breads, which rise and bubble from the hot tandoor surface on which they are baked.
Indian desserts can be intensely sweet and very delicious. I love the sweetened cheese called rasmali, or the Indian version of ice cream called kulfi. A cup of hot tea is the ideal companion.
Expect to spend under $50 a couple plus add-ons. Curry Hut has a K/RATING of 17/20.

Time Out Chicago : Eat out Curry Hut
North Suburban diners can skip the trek to Devon Avenue and settle into this comfy spot. Thanks to an owner who hails from Nepal, the standard Indian menu also offers a handful of Nepalese specialties, the best of which are the mo mo dumplings packed with spiced chicken and served with fiery, creamy achaar dipping sauce; the mild braised goat in tomato-based curry; and the rich trio of black-eyed peas, bamboo shoots and potatoes. Of the Indian items, the vegetarian "special dinner" is delicious, and anything done "vindaloo" is no joke, so order it only if your tongue can handle a scorching. The $9 lunch buffet is a good way to sample the menu without breaking the bank.

What's Happening Highland Park : Curry Hut By Mimika
Curry Hut By Mimika
For years Highwood has served the North Shore as a culinary microcosm of Chicago.. .except it lacked an Indian restaurant. Fortunately that void has been filled by an excellent addition: the Curry Hut (410 Sheridan Rd., Highwood, 847-432-2889). Its exceptionally talented chefs serve up a lot more than curry, and the earth-toned, skillfully lit 125- capacity dining room in no way resembles a hut. Manager Bala Ghimire is one of the most courteous, professional and competent restaurant managers I've ever met. His twenty years of experience in the restaurant business is reflected in his extremely thorough and exacting standards for the Curry Hut. His friendly personality and gracious demeanor make diners feel welcome and comfortable.
The 3 chefs take great pride in their excellent menu, written by Executive ChefTek Chand, who specializes in Nepali cuisine and has studied culinary arts in Nepal. Babu Krishna, K.C. specializes in Indian cuisine, and Mohan K.C. serves as the Tandoori Chef.
We arrived late on a rainy Friday night, after the dinner rush, and were greeted warmly by Bala and the host. The simple, attractive decor includes earth-toned walls, white tablecloths and soft lighting. Our group of 5 included one connoisseur of Indian cuisine, and one young woman who had never tasted Indian food and was a bit apprehensive. Bala explained that his chefs can prepare menu items at any level ofspiciness on a scale of 1 to 100. There's truly something for everyone, and all of us were delighted with our experience.
Upon being seated, our server brought a large basket ofPapadams with assorted dipping sauces. Papadam is a crispy and extremely thin stone ground cracker made of lentil and cumin seed. The exotic and wonderfully savory flavors are a great way to start the meal. We began with a round of Mango Lassi, a fantastic combination of yogurt and fruit, an alternative to the extensive list of choices from the wine or beer menu. After that, we sampled 2 Indian beers: the Taj Mahal, a light and flavor fill choice, and the Flying Horse Royal Lager, another light and somewhat more exotic-tasting beer.
From the appetizer list we sampled the Chef's Special Assorted Appetizers, an assortment of vegetable fritters; and three Tandoori preparations: Chicken Tikka, white meat with yogurt and spices, roasted in a tandoori oven; Booti Kabab, offender marinated lamb; and SeekKabab, of minced lamb in a secret house marinade. We also enjoyed Vegetable Samosas, deep fried cone pastry stuffed with green peas, potatoes and fresh coriander leaves. Finally, we tasted a very special appetizer from the Nepali menu called the Momo, a steamed wheat dumpling filled with minced chicken and Nepali spices, served with a truly great Nepali mustard-like sauce called Achaar. This should quickly become a signature appetizer of this restaurant. The Momo is exotic enough to please the thrill-seeking ethnic diner, yet mild and universally tasty enough to delight the first-time Indian diner as well. All of these delectable appetizers are plentiful, and substantial enough as a meal in themselves. Appetizers range from $3.95 to $7.95.
From the main entrees we tasted a variety of vegetable and meat preparations. Every one was delicious. In order of my preference: Lamb Curry, delicious and surprisingly mild succulent pieces of lamb cooked in onions and tomatoes with a cardamom flavored sauce; Jhane Ko Dal, yellow lentil cooked to perfection in a traditional Nepalese Wok with Himalayan Herbs and spices; Chicken Tikka Masala, chunks of chicken (white meat) roasted in a clay oven and folded into a cream sauce; and Tandoori Chicken, whole chicken marinated in a yogurt blend of colorful Indian herbs and spices and roasted in a Tandoori oven. As a vegetable special we enjoyed the Indian staple PanakPaneer, fresh spinach cooked with delicately spiced cheese cubes. This spinach is chopped fine and almost reaches the consistency of a thick and creamy sauce. (Prices: $8.95- $14.95… $21.95 for lobster!) The entrees were accompanied by a lovely assortment ofNaan, delicious Indian flatbread in three flavors: plain, onion and garlic.
The desserts are small and sweet, and presented very tastefully. We had Kheer, a fragrant rice pudding with finely chopped raisins and almonds served cold. Memorable and delicious. We also tried an Indian favorite, Gulab Jamun, golden fried dumplings of milk pastry soaked in sweet saffron syrup and served hot. These were perfectly prepared and absolutely delightful. Finally we enjoyed Kulfi, a homemade ice cream that comes in pistachio, mango and orange – nobody should dine at the Curry Hut without enjoying this delicate and universally appealing dessert. All desserts are $3.95. Our magnificent dining experience concluded with a cup of Masala, an Indian aromatic tea made of the highest grade of choice tea leaves, boiled with milk and selected spices. After the meal, Bala invited us into the spotless kitchen to see the amazing tandoori ovens. The large clay cookers bum wood coals and food is roasted at 800 degrees. We watched the Naan bake in the oven, which took a total of 2 minutes. It was fascinating to watch the dough bubble on the inside of the oven walls and transform into the delicious bread we'd just enjoyed.
Anyone who has enjoyed Indian cuisine will agree the experience is to the taste buds as a symphony is to the ears. The chefs at the Curry Hut have directed all their great talents and efforts at providing an ideal Indian dining experience to its North Shore clientele. I believe we're lucky to have this fine jewel among our North Shore restaurants. I want to emphasize that the Curry Hut is an excellent choice for first-time diners of Indian food, because the highly skilled chefs will make sure you are not overwhelmed. Enjoy!!
I welcome your comments on the restaurants showcased and your suggestions on restaurants to visit. Please contact me at email@example.com. Thank you.

Chicago Magazine : Dining Out
Curry Hut, Highwood's first Indian restaurant, resides a stone's throw from a north suburban Metra station. The owner, Bala Ghimire, leads the efficient and courteous service team and presides over a white-tablecloth dining room spiffy and simple with swag drapery, peach walls, and blond wood chairs. Hardly a hut, this is a lovely space for executive chef Tek Chand's Indian and Nepalese dishes. The two countries-each a part of Chand's heritage-have similar culinary traditions.
I was impressed with all the de rigueur Indian appetizers, from paneer pakora-homemade cheese deep-fried in garbanzo batter-to three kinds of zesty samosas: chicken, lamb, and vegetable. (Go with lamb.) A companion also loved his clove-scented lentil and vegetable soup-after a spoonful I agreed with him.By all means try a few of the ten tandoori breads; the simple naan and roti are fine, but the piazi kulcha stuffed with onion and cilantro and the keema naan stuffed with minced lamb are really special.
Chand's expertise with Indian classics is undeniable: the chicken tikka masala is tender, the tandoori prawns truly exceptional, and several lamb dishes stand out. Of course there's a lamb curry, cooked in tomatoes and onions with a cardamom-dominated sauce. As usual, the lamb vindaloo, chunks of meat marinated and cooked in a sauce of vinegar, hot chilies, spices, and mustard oil, is fiery-with potatoes to make the dish authentically Goan. Three juicy and flavorful tandoori-roasted lamb chops, with a thick spice coating, arrive on a sizzling platter in a bed of raw vegetables with lemon wedges, meant to be squeezed over the chops for a final flourish. Gosht biryani-a generous platter of saffron-scented balsamic rice with spices and chunks of lamb-is perfect for sharing.
My favorite Nepalese dishes were mo mo (the name alone makes it irresistible)-dumplings of spiced minced chicken that looked Chinese but had a distinctive sauce, a mustardlike achar-and khasi ko maasu, tender goat meat braised on the bone with herbs and spices. Both were less oily than most Indian food, though I confess it was hard for me to detect what exactly was different about the "Himalayan herbs and spices" other than the achar.
Curry Hut's mango kulfi is not as elegant as Marigold's, but the mango flavor alone makes it a winner; the gulab jamun was just as tasty as the one at India House. Indian wines are listed strictly by the glass, but when I asked if they could be had by the bottle, the waiter recommended the 2006 Sula Vineyards syrah ($30). It's one of the first Indian wines I've tasted and its style convinced me that India's vineyards, just like these three very good restaurants, have a future.
Curry Hut-410 Sheridan Road, Highwood; www.curryhutrestaurant.com. Appetizers $3.50 to $12.95; entrées $8.95 to $24.95; desserts $3.50 to $3.95. Lunch and dinner daily. Reservations: 847-432-2889.
Chicago Sun Time : Spicing up Suberbia
You can't miss the Curry Hut in Highwood – just keep an eye open for the curry-colored awnings that frame the two windows in front. (Highwood regulars will remember the Curry Hut space as an Italian restaurant called Two Guys from Italy.) If you have a hankering for Indian food, it would do you well to look at what's behind those awnings. The menu here is about as ambitious as you will find, so you will find – vegetarian or not choices as broad as the subcontinent itself.
One section on the menu deals with Nepalese dishes, but don't get too carried way – it is hard enough to get people to understand the basic approach (seasonings, etc.) to real Indian cooking as it is. However, if you love to explore and delve into world cuisines, the Curry Hut does feature an interesting goat dish, a Nepali bread, and several highly seasoned (using "Himalayan herbs and spices") chicken and vegetable dishes. It's an entire new take on the exotic spicing that that part of the world has to offer. The Curry Hut is one of maybe two or three Indian restaurants in the north and northwest suburbs, so I would not be stretching things by saying it is one of the best. Curry Hut can hold its own with any Indian restaurant in the city, Don't get me wrong. I am not about to drive from the city to Highwood just to eat Indian food. However, should I be in that neck of the woods, this would be my go-to Indian restaurant without question.
It's all about the spicing when it comes to Indian food, the understanding that the kitchen has when it comes to the proper usage of spices – masala in Hindi. Masala has several interpretations. In the culinary world it refers to a mixture of spices for a particular dish (and, of course, the amount and variety used). In informal usage, masala refers to a hodgepodge of elements mixed together to add spice to the final product. Garam masala refers to a premade mixture of spices (three or four in a simple recipe; possibly 10 in a more complex version) used to flavor foods (tandoori masala for chicken is one example). To take it one step further, in India, movies that are made up of a mixture of several things are called "masala movies." You get the idea.
The cooks in the kitchen at the Curry Hut have the spicing idea down pat. One dish that didn't quite cut it for me was the shrimp Madras, but then I have never been a fan of the shrimp and coconut relationship. Other than that I was more than pleased. (Once again it is necessary for me to offer full disclosure by letting you know that I have been to India. A few years ago I spent two weeks in and around Chennai [Madras], so I got to sample a good deal of the food, albeit in one particular area. And while the cooking in India is as diverse as its regions – as it is in Italy – the idea of flavor from region to region follows a certain pattern.)
Commonplace but enjoyable was chicken pakora, nuggets of chicken that had been marinated, spiced, given a turn in the tandoor, battered, deep-fried and served with dipping sauces. Nothing to let loose a barrage of adjectives about, just interesting eating.
However, there is so much more on this menu to enjoy that too many appetizers (the pakora) or even a salad would be a waste. More to enjoy, like breads. I am as nuts about Indian breads as I am pizza, and Curry Hut has a wealth of interesting breads to savor and enjoy. Straight away naan is excellent, but there are two that I particularly favor – kulcha (stuffed with onions and cilantro), and keema (minced lamb stuffing), The problem is that it is hard to stop eating this bread; one bite and I am off and running.
wheelchair accessible. Try: Tandoori chicken, lamb curry, tandoori breads, basmati rice, rice pudding. In a bite: The lunch buffet is a deal ($8.95) and includes a good representation of what the menu is all about. The dining space is comfortable and eye-pleasing. Tablecloths grace the tables, and swag drapery graces the windows. Low ceilings amp up the noise level when the place is full. A whole lot of arches (OK, so there is still a kind of Italian feel to the space). Service is right on the money and very accommodating. Good for children. Reservations accepted. Nice banquet rooms. Outdoor dining, too.
My favorite main dish to have with Indian bread is the classic tandoori chicken. Marinated in yogurt and spices and cooked in the tandoor until it turned an appealing shade of red (the dramatic red color comes from the tandoori paste rubbed on the chicken), the chicken was tender, moist, and the light spicing let the flavor come through quite magnificently.
Vegetable dishes are by the dozen. I love eggplant any which way, and the oven-roasted and mashed eggplant spread (beautifully spiced) was another pleasure, scooped up with chunks of bread.
Aloogobi is a veggie dish made up of cauliflower and potatoes with a light sauce that hints of ginger. It was quite good. Under the Nepalese entree choices, a similar dish is called tarekoaloo. I had one of each on two separate visits. Though the Nepalese dish boasts Himalayan spices, I couldn't pick up much of a difference in overall flavor. What does it matter? They were both enjoyable, except I was looking for some kind of Nepalese spice experience.
Lamb curry was a winner. In a restaurant called the Curry Hut, it had better be. Chunks of tender lamb mixed it up with onions and tomatoes in a light cardamom-scented gravy of a sort.
Pair that lamb with one of the rice dishes (a good half-dozen to choose from) that include peas and a hint of saffron. It does wonders for the lamb, and the lamb does wonders for the rice.
Seafood dishes number a few, but I am not big on seafood in Indian restaurants. I find that some of the spicing is a bit too much in relation to the milder seafood offerings. I am much more comfortable with chicken, lamb, vegetables and breads. A personal choice, without question.
Desserts are personal, too. I favor but one – kheer, which is Indian rice pudding. I totally enjoy the aromatics in Indian pudding, along with the raisins and almonds in this version. There is a milk pastry dumpling that is fried and laced with a honey syrup ("gulabjamn,"), but it is way too sweet for my tooth.

Chicago 124 Best Dishes – Mo Mo DUMPLINGS – Curry Hut
Nepalese cooking isn't exactly the in cuisine around town, but Curry Hut's Indian menu includes authentic dishes from this remote Himalayan country. Delectable mo mo dumplings of spiced minced chicken reflect a Chinese influence via Tibet, but the accompanying mustard like Nepali achar sauce delivers a kick more like indian chutney.

Chapter One
I was maneuvering my red Jeep down Main Street when I saw some sort of commotion up ahead. Angus, my Irish wolfhound, was in the back seat. We were on our way to the Seven-Year Stitch, my embroidery specialty shop, located in the Tallulah Falls town square.
I braked, squinted, and craned my neck; but all I could really see were the cars in front of me and the flashing lights of two police cars and an ambulance.
"Must be a car accident," I murmured to Angus.
As I debated trying to get out of the traffic so I could turn around and go another route to my shop, someone on the street to my left screamed. I looked in the screamer's direction just in time to see a man dressed all in black shove past her. He was brandishing a handgun. The gunman hesitated, looked behind him, and then sprinted off again.
I, too, was anxious to see who was chasing him so I trained my gaze at the sidewalk and didn't watch to see where the man with the gun went. My heart dropped when I saw that the criminal was being pursued by Detective Ted Nash…my Ted. I closed my eyes briefly and said a silent prayer.
What could I do? How could I help? I couldn't just sit there.
I whipped my head around in time to see the gunman and Ted disappear around the corner. I desperately wanted to do something…anything. But if I distracted Ted and he was harmed because of my actions, I'd never forgive myself. As hard as it was, it was better for me to wait. Wait and pray….
Suddenly, I heard the shots. They sounded no louder than firecrackers being discharged. Bam! Bam! Bam! Then silence.
Angus whimpered, aware that I was falling to pieces. He leaned over and licked tears from my right cheek.
I needed to get out of this traffic…. I had to park somewhere and see about Ted. The crowd had grown on the street, and, in addition to a couple of uniformed police officers, I thought I caught a glimpse of Manu Singh, Chief of Police. I knew he'd help Ted, but that reassurance did nothing to dispel my need to get to Ted and make sure he was all right.
I ignored the blaring of the car horns behind me as I edged out of the traffic and pulled onto a side street. There I parked, cracked the windows for Angus, promised him I'd be right back, locked the Jeep, and ran across the street.
"Let me through!" I shouted as I fought my way through the crowd. "Let me through!"
Someone had the audacity to stop me in my tracks. He was tall and strong, and I glared up at him. When I saw that it was Ted, I melted into his arms and sobbed.
"It's all right, babe." He ran his hands over my back tenderly. "It's all right."
* * *
I'd assured Ted I was fine once I'd seen that he was okay, and I came on to work. He'd wanted to drive me, but he had more pressing matters to attend to. He needed to go back to the station with Manu and question their suspect. Fortunately, no one had been hurt when the man had fired off his weapon—he was, thankfully, a lousy shot.
Now I tossed the bright yellow tennis ball from my spot on the sofa in the sit-and-stitch square into the merchandise area of the shop. It was a chilly, windy, cloudy day on the Oregon coast, and I hoped our morning of playing fetch would calm my jagged nerves and sufficiently tire Angus out. I wanted him to nap for a while so I could get some work done. I'd received a delivery late yesterday afternoon, and I hadn't even had time to open the box yet.
At a little over a year old, Angus was still a puppy. He loved to romp and play. He returned and dropped the soggy ball at my feet, and I tossed it again. This time it landed near Jill, and Angus nearly knocked her down as he retrieved it.
"Look out, Jill!" I called. Of course, she couldn't have moved out of his way anyhow. Jill was a mannequin.
The name of my embroidery shop was the Seven-Year Stitch, and the mannequin resembled Marilyn Monroe, who had starred in the movie The Seven-Year Itch. So all day, day in and day out, Jill stood near the cash register silently greeting patrons to the store. She sometimes modeled some of my embroidery projects. For instance, today she wore a white, button-down oxford shirt with a cluster of crewel embroidery flowers on the left shoulder. Combining the shirt with her jean shorts, she looked fetching as she embraced springtime.
Many of my other embroidery projects adorned the walls—either framed or in embroidery hoops—and I had candlewick embroidered pillows on the sofa. Dolls dressed in clothing I'd embroidered stood on shelves throughout the store. I was not above putting embroidered bandanas around Angus's neck, but I didn't do it often since he didn't particularly go in for fancy accessories.
My cell phone rang. It was Mom. Mom, by the way, was the acclaimed Hollywood costume designer Beverly Singer. She lived in San Francisco…which was also where I'd lived until about nine months ago when I gave up a career in accounting to come to Tallulah Falls and open an embroidery shop. Mom probably thought I'd lost my mind at the time. But if she did, she never said so. She was awfully supportive.
"Hi, Mom," I said. "What's up?"
"I just got exciting news," she said. "Henry Beaumont has asked me to design and oversee costuming for a huge, lavish production about the life of early Bollywood star Sonam Zakaria."
"Congratulations! That's terrific. Tell me all about this guy Sonam and why Mr. Beaumont is making a movie about his life."
"Sonam was a she, darling, and she was larger than life. The only American star I can think of to even remotely compare her to off the top of my head would be Elizabeth Taylor," Mom said. "Anyway, this job is going to be quite an undertaking. And since the studio has given me an extremely generous budget, I'd like to hire you and a few of your most trusted stitchers to help me out."
"Are you serious?" I asked.
"Absolutely. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it without you." She paused. "Wait. That's not fair. I'm sorry. I'd love for you to help with the costumes, but I understand if you're too busy. I can—"
"Mom, I want to help," I interrupted. "And I'm sure Vera will." Vera Langhorne was a widow in her late fifties to early sixties who was always game for a little adventure.
"What about Reggie?" Mom asked. "She's so skilled in chikankari that she'd be ideal for this project. Do you think she'd be willing to pitch in? If nothing else, maybe she could give the rest of us a crash course in Indian embroidery."
"I'll call her and ask," I said. "I'll let you know as soon as I talk with her."
"Thank you, dear. Give my love to Angus and Ted."
"About Ted…. He had quite the adventure this morning." I told her about our earlier excitement.
"Oh, darling, I'm so glad he's okay! What a terrible ordeal. Are you all right?"
"I'm still a little shaky, but I'm getting over it," I said.
"With all this going on, are you sure you want to take on a stitching project of this magnitude?" she asked.
"Of course. They caught the guy. Everything is fine now."
"If you're sure…."
"I'm sure. I'll talk with you later. Love you, Mom."
"Love you more than chocolate," she said.
We ended the call, and I smiled at Angus. "That was Grandma," I told him. "She loves us more than chocolate. Yes, she does!"
He woofed, scooped up the tennis ball, and took a run around the shop with it.
Before I could call Rajani Singh, better known as Reggie, Sadie MacKenzie came in and was nearly bowled over by Angus. Sadie had been my best friend since our college days. She and her husband Blake owned MacKenzies' Mochas, a hip little coffeehouse down the street from the Seven-Year Stitch. In fact, it was Sadie who'd convinced me to move here and open my shop.
"What's got him so excited?" Sadie asked, as she walked over to join me on the sofa facing away from the window in the sit-and-stitch square.
The square was so named because two navy sofas faced each other with an oval maple coffee table between them. On either end of the coffee table were two red club chairs with matching ottomans. A red and blue braided rug beneath the coffee table pulled everything together and created a cozy square where customers could come sit and stitch.
"We've had an exciting morning," I answered Sadie. "First we saw Ted chasing an armed man on the street, shots were fired, and I nearly had a breakdown. Then Mom called."
"I heard about the robbery and the chase afterward. Was anyone hurt?"
"That's good. What's your mom up to?"
"She's signed on for a huge, lavish production—her words, not mine—about some Bollywood starlet. Mom has asked me and some of Tallulah Falls' finest needle crafters to help with embroidering the costumes."
"Have fun with that." Sadie was so not a stitcher.
"I should take you to San Fran to the movie set one day to be an extra," I said.
"My skin might be darker than yours, but I don't look Indian."
"With a scarf and veil, you might."
"With a scarf and veil, you might," she said.
"Not me. I'm way too pale. I read something cute the other day on some blog forum." I grinned as I quoted, "We Oregonians don't tan; we rust."
She smiled. "That is cute. Oh, hey, Todd took Audrey Dayton out to dinner last night." She carefully watched to gauge my reaction. "I haven't heard from him this morning—he didn't even come in for his usual espresso—so I don't know how it went."
"I'm sure it went great," I said. "I'm the one who suggested they'd make a good couple in the first place, remember?"
"I remember. I only wanted to make sure you hadn't had a change of heart now that…you know…." She shrugged. "He seems to be getting over you and moving on."
"Sadie, nothing could make me happier. Ted and I are so right for each other. I see it more and more every day, and I believe he does too. I wish you could see it."
Since I'd first arrived in Tallulah Falls, Sadie had been trying to fix me up with Todd Calloway. Todd owned the Brew Crew, a pub and craft brewery directly across the street from the Seven-Year Stitch. Todd and I went on a few dates, but it never amounted to more than friendship. Sure, Todd was sweet and good-looking, but I never felt the spark of excitement with him that I felt with Ted Nash, head detective for the Tallulah Falls Sheriff's Department.
I felt Todd had been hurt when I chose Ted over him, but it was probably more from pride than anything else. Like me, Todd realized that though we cared about each other, it was as friends. And while the idea of Todd getting seriously involved with MacKenzies' Mochas' mean-spirited waitress Keira made my stomach churn, I was delighted that he and the kind, auburn-haired deputy Audrey Dayton might be compatible.
"You know, I suspect Todd didn't come by for his usual espresso this morning because he was avoiding Keira," I said.
"That's a pretty safe bet. She was livid when she found out he and Audrey had a date. She thought that with you out of the picture, she was all set." Sadie smiled. "Maybe Blake and I can have you and Ted over for dinner sometime soon."
"That would mean a lot to both of us," I said. Especially since you've made it apparent that you thought our relationship was a mistake. I didn't say that last part out loud, of course… only in my head.
As soon as Sadie left, I called Reggie. Reggie was the librarian for Tallulah Falls' only public library. I could tell by the clipped efficiency of her voice when she answered the phone that I'd called her at a busy time.
"Hi, it's Marcy," I said. "I won't keep you, but I'm calling to ask if you'd be willing to help out my mom with some Bollywood costumes."
I didn't need to explain anything further. Reggie knew my mom from the times Mom had visited Tallulah Falls, and all my friends had enjoyed listening to her "war stories."
"That sounds fantastic," Reggie said. "I'll be over to the shop on my lunch break to get all the details."
* * *
As I'd hoped, Angus spent most of the late morning napping by the window while I attended to customers, opened the box that had been delivered yesterday afternoon, and restocked the pegboards with embroidery hoops and frames. The merchandise area of the shop was separated from the sit-and-stitch square by a black-and-white checkerboard tile floor. I'd worn heels today, and they clicked on the tile as I placed the canvas and monks cloth on the maple shelves, refilled the bins with yarn and embroidery floss, and put the overflow in the storeroom. Normally, that clicking sound combined with our being alone in the store would've made Angus come bounding over to jump and nip at me. Today he was too worn out from the earlier game of fetch.
Once my work was caught up—for the moment—I returned to the sit-and-stitch square and felt pleased with myself for a job well done. I glanced up at the clock and saw that it was a quarter until twelve.
I went into my office and made sure there were sodas in my mini-fridge. After Reggie had told me she'd be by around noon, I'd called and asked Ted to bring us a pizza for lunch.
I heard the bells over the shop door jingle, and I hurried out of the office. I was glad to see that Ted had not only brought the cheese pizza I'd asked for, but that he'd also brought Reggie's husband, Manu.
They were quite a contrast standing there side by side. Ted was six feet, three inches tall, dwarfing Manu, who stood a mere five feet, seven inches. Not that I was one to talk about height. At five feet nothing, Manu dwarfed me.
Ted was muscular and athletic. Manu was muscular, too, but he had a stockier build. And while Manu had deep-set dark brown eyes, Ted's eyes were as blue as the ocean on a clear summer's day.
I greeted Ted with a quick kiss. "This is a nice surprise," I told Manu.
"When you said Reggie was coming over, I thought we should make it a foursome," Ted said.
"I'm glad you did," I said.
Angus, who'd loped over when the men first walked in, was busying himself trying to sniff at the pizza box that Ted was holding up out of the dog's reach.
"You'll get your share, buddy," Ted said.
"Especially after Reggie gets here," Manu added.
"I'll grab us some paper plates, napkins, and sodas," I said.
Ted and I usually ate in my office; but since Manu and Reggie were joining us, we'd need to dine in the sit-and-stitch square.
When Reggie arrived, I put the cardboard clock with the plastic hands on the door indicating I'd "be back" in half an hour. I didn't lock the door, but I hoped any customer who might come by during that time would respect our desire to eat lunch uninterrupted.
As we ate, I explained about Mom's new project and advised Reggie that Mom had requested her specifically because she did such gorgeous chikankari work. Reggie was sporting some of that white-on-white embroidery today on the fitted cuffs of her cream-colored tunic. Unlike her husband, who favored Western dress such as jeans and plaid shirts, Reggie preferred her traditional Indian attire of flowing tunics with matching pants or saris.
"I'm flattered that your mother thinks I'm good enough to be of help," Reggie said, lowering her head in modesty and pushing her silver, wire-framed glasses up on her nose.
"Good enough?" I scoffed. "She wants you to give the rest of us—including her crew in San Francisco—a crash course!"
"I'm looking forward to seeing this movie," Manu said. "Sonam Zakaria was an incredible talent."
"Yes, she was," Reggie said. "But she had such extreme highs and lows in both her career and her personal life. Who will be playing her in the movie?"
"I don't know," I said. "I didn't think to ask Mom when I was talking with her."
"Will you have to go to San Francisco?" Ted asked, tossing a piece of pizza crust to Angus.
"I should go at least overnight to get a feel for the designs and what Mom will need," I said. "But most of our actual work will be done here. Reggie, I'd love for you to go with me to San Fran. How about this coming weekend? Maybe we could all go."
"I'd like that," Reggie said.
"Great. I'm sure the studio will pay for our flight, and we can stay with Mom. We'll try to get a flight out right after work tomorrow evening and…." I noticed the guys were looking at each other. And, although I couldn't read their expressions, I knew Ted well enough to realize that one or both of them would not be going to California. "What?"
"Ted and I can't go," Manu said. "Our robbery suspect escaped this morning."
"Escaped? How?" Please don't let it be my fault. Please don't let it be my fault.
"He punched the deputy who was cuffing him, and then he got away," Ted said. "He apparently ran through one of the shops and out the back where we think there was a car waiting."
"You believe he had an accomplice?" I asked.
"He would have had to have," Manu said. "He got away too easily."
"We're thinking he must've hidden in the trunk or the back floor and that his driver simply merged into the traffic and fled the scene while we were still combing the shops for our suspect," Ted said.
"Oh, my goodness. That's terrible." I placed my hand over Ted's. "I'll call Mom back and ask her to get someone else."
They all spoke at once.
"No, you won't," said Ted.
"Over my dead body," Reggie chimed in.
"That's not necessary," Manu said. "We'll catch this guy…hopefully before the sun sets today."
"Still, I don't think it's appropriate to leave and go to San Francisco," I said.
"It's a perfect time to go," Ted said. "If we don't catch this guy, Manu and I will be working around the clock to find him. You and Reggie might as well enjoy yourselves."
I turned to Reggie.
She shrugged. "He's right. Let's go. We won't do them any good by pacing the floors and wringing our hands at home. Trust me—I've been there and done that."
"Besides, somebody has to babysit." Ted inclined his head toward Angus.
"Our men are too busy for us this weekend, Marcy," Reggie said with a wink. "We might as well skip town."
I smiled uncertainly. "I'll make the arrangements."

Florida is one of the top destinations for spring break goers according to Triple A.
A spokesperson for the company said Ohioans are flocking to the Sunshine State and taking advantage of Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Tampa. But, there's one location that is also getting a lot of spring break travelers.
"We noticed Washington DC among are top list because of the Cherry Blossom Festival. We also actually have a motor coach tour that's going to be leaving from Zanesville and going out to D.C. during spring break time," said Kimberly Schwind AAA Spokesperson.
Puerto Rico, Las Vegas and Honolulu are also popular destinations for Ohio travelers this spring break. But, before you said so long to the cold weather Schwind said to keep some things to mind.
"Make sure you stop mail, make sure you leave an itinerary of your travel plans with your friends or family back along with some copies of your identification," said Schwind. "Make sure you let your credit card company know that you are going to be traveling so they don't put a hold on your credit card."
Schwind said if you plan on flying make sure to check the TSA's website for guidelines on what you can bring aboard a plane and leave yourself plenty of time to get through security.

Shore Residents Scramble for Rental Housing While Homes are Being Rebuilt
Quest for places to live made more difficult by approaching summer tourism season
- Credit: Tracey Samuelson
A growing number of Jersey Shore residents are looking for a place to call home while their storm-damaged houses are being rebuilt or repaired.
Following lengthy grant evaluations and inspections, they're finally receiving the funding to begin construction.
But they're unable to live in their homes during the construction -- and so they find themselves competing for rental housing as the busy summer tourism season looms.
Reporter Tracey Samuelson of WHYY/NewsWorks, a partner of NJ Spotlight, profiles the Appleby family of Seaside Park, who have lived in five different places in the last year and half.

Ivory Coast star Yaya Toure has boosted Manchester City by announcing that he wants to finish his career with the Premier League club.
Toure looked set to quit the Premier League champions after slamming City bosses for disrespecting him during his birthday celebration just hours after helping them win the title.
A month later, the midfielder accused the stunned club officials of not giving him enough support or allowing him time to see his brother Ibrahim, who died during the Ivory Coast's World Cup campaign, The Mirror reported.
But now Toure is focused on the new campaign and has said that he wants to stay with Manuel Pellegrini's side for as long as possible.
Toure said that he is feeling fine, and that it is good to start training again. He added that it has been a difficult pre-season.
Toure said that it had unfortunately been a difficult summer for his family.
The midfielder added that now he is very happy to join the team and the manager. He said that at the end of the day it is his decision and he will stay at City for as long as possible. (ANI)

The Brazilian government rejected Israeli criticism of a deal reached between Iran, Turkey and Brazil on Monday aimed at allaying concerns over Tehran's controversial nuclear programme.
Under the deal inked in Tehran, Iran will ship 1,200 kilogrammes (2,640 pounds) of low enriched uranium to Turkey and in turn will receive 120 kilogrammes of nuclear fuel for its Tehran reactor.
But a senior Israeli official on Monday accused Iran of having "manipulated" Ankara and Brasilia.
"Israel has the right to say what it wants, but it is the first time that Iran has agreed to send its nuclear fuel to a third country," an adviser to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said.
"Brazil has helped bring the positions together, as a facilitator for dialogue," he told AFP from Tehran, from where Lula da Silva is to travel to Madrid for an EU-Latin America summit.
The fuel swap deal was signed following three-way talks between Lula da Silva, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Iran has been facing a growing threat of new UN sanctions over its controversial atomic programme, and western diplomats said Monday that the deal did not resolve the underlying problem.
However the Israeli official, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said the arrangement would "radically complicate" efforts by world powers looking to rein in Iran's nuclear programme by means of sanctions.
"It is going to be much more difficult for the United States or the Europeans to reject this arrangement because we won't be only dealing with Iran, which is much easier to handle, but with rising powers, such as Brazil and Turkey, with whom relations are very sensitive," he said.
Turkey and Brazil, which are both non-permanent members of the UN Security Council, have so far resisted US-led efforts to push through further sanctions for Iran's failure to suspend its sensitive uranium enrichment activities.

Eurozone economy 'flying on one engine' warns S&P
Economic confidence across the euro area had dropped to the lowest level in more than a year, even ahead of last week's deadly bombings in Brussels.
Meanwhile, rating agency Standard & Poors (S&P) warned that Europe's key economy is "flying on one engine" - in this case recovering consumer demand.
The European Commission's own economic sentiment monitor, based on combined measure of executive and consumer confidence, slumped for a third month in March to the weakest level since February 2015.
"A nosedive in financial conditions at the start of the year has taken some wind out of the Euro zone economy," S&P's chief European economist, Jean-Michel Six, said.
S&P cut its forecast for Eurozone growth this year to 1.5pc from 1.8pc, and to 1.6pc in 2017.
From tomorrow the European Central Bank will ramp up its increasingly extreme measures aimed at stimulating growth, including lifting monthly bond purchases to €80bn from €60bn. But S&P said central bank actions are having a diminishing impact on inflation and growth prospects.
The latest data contrasts with a string of encouraging indicators from the 19-member currency area. The closely-watched German Ifo Business Climate survey improved for the first time in four months in March and Markit Economics' Purchasing Managers Index of manufacturing and services rose to a three-month high.
In better news closer to home, figures from Deloitte show the number of business insolvencies was effectively unchanged at 251 in the first quarter of this year, versus 2015.

So when we left off, we were talking about DIMS as a new feature for 2003 SP1. The overview was brief , so here are some details.
- DIMS takes advantage of another new feature in SP1 for confidential attributes, actually this attribute feature was added specifically for DIMS. (Ill blog more about this later perhaps)
Rundown on confidential attributes:
1. Add or determine the attribute you want to mark confidential (Base Schema objects cannot be marked confidential)
2. Mark the attribute "confidential" by modifying the searchFlags attribute of the object in the schema. SearchFlags contains multiple bits representing various properties of an attribute. E.g. bit 1 means that the attribute is indexed. The new value128 (bit 7) designates the attribute as confidential. Note you cannot set this flag on base-schema attributes (such as common-name). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adschema/adschema/a_searchflags.asp for more info on search flags
3. Grant the users who need to view the attribute's value CONTROL_ACCESS on the specific objects they need to view. By default administrators have CONTROL_ACCESS
2. DIMS will roam all DPAPI keys for a user from any machine s\he logs in to.
3. DIMS is configurable via the GPO ( it's a per user GPO) and the ADM template we discussed last time, but you can set the reg values independent if desired.
General configuration:
- Import the ldifde script.
NOTE: You will need to change the ldif file a little bit, the one on the web (to the best of my knowledge) is incorrect. You need to add a "-" so the very last few lines should look like this:
changetype: modify
add: schemaUpdateNow
schemaUpdateNow: 1
2. Import the ADM file:
NOTE: you will need to edit the ADM a little as well. Change the lines which contain DIMSCredentialRoamnig to DIMSCredentialRoaming.
3. Edit the ACLS on the user or the Parent to inherit ACLS as follows
Ace Type: 0x5 - ACCESS_ALLOWED_OBJECT_ACE_TYPE
Ace Size: 40 bytes
Ace Flags: 0x12
Object Ace Mask: 0x00000130
Object Ace Flags: 0x1
Object Ace Type: Private Information - 91e647de-d96f-4b70-9557-d63ff4f3ccd8
Object Ace Sid: NT AUTHORITY\SELF S-1-5-10
NOTE: Updated May 24 2006
Due to changes in the ADM downloadable online - you may not see the same settings available in your GPO.
"Roam all x509 certificates and keys" – does what is implied. All certificates, private keys, and requests from the user stores will roam.
"Roam encryption certificates and keys only" - will NOT roam signature certs\keys
Strict arbitration
- User Joe logs on to Machine1 has a cert which is password protected and is exportable.
- User Joe exports the key from Machine1 and imports it to Machine2 – when he imports it he clicks thru the import wizard and the cert on Machine2 is now NOT password protected and NOT exportable.
- DIMS is enabled on the domain for this user.
- User is on Machine1 and via winlogon (user logs off and on etc..see HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\dimsntfy) notification, DIMS kicks off and and the keys\certs etc.. are roamed to the AD (net store)
- The next day user Joe then logs on to Machine2 and DIMS kicks in for the user on this machine.
- DIMS sees the data from the Net Store is the same key \ cert data as the Local Store – but there are differences in the extended properties.
- How do we reconcile this situation? In our scenario – and a strict GPO setting - we would keep the local data as NOT exportable and NOT password protected.
The data in the Net Store would be overwritten with this new data and next time he logs on the Machine1 – he would find the cert is not exportable and not pass protected.
The matrix below breaks it down – we denote EXPORTABLE as E, and USER_PROTECTED as P. /E and /P are their opposites.
The winner arbitration matrices are:
Ill talk about the tombstone and max settings in another post as I need to run today.. its Friday!! 🙂

LifeWatch needs a special structure to develop the substantive effort needed to create a real and useful working environment for UE's scientist. As a consequence, it will be one of the European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERIC), a legal entity developed for pan-European infrastructures, governed by the member states.
During the last years research institutions and Governments have been working in the preparatory phase, building this project foundation, and now we are close to the constitution signature event. The e-Science and Technology European Research Infrastructure Consortium for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research --LifeWatch ERIC-- will be established in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 723/2009 of 25 June 2009 on the Community legal framework for a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC).
The main effects of the setting-up of an ERIC will be:
General Assembly
The General Assembly shall:
The Stakeholders Board acts as provisional Lifewatch governing board: it executes all the tasks that will be performed by the future General Assembly, the Board of Directors and the Management Committee of the future ERIC.
At present the members of the LifeWatch stakeholders board are:
Executive Board
The Executive Board shall be the legal representative of LifeWatch ERIC and will be responsible for its day-to-day management, ensuring consistence, coherence and stability of infrastructure services through decisions on implementation as well as coordination between the Common Facilities and Distributed LifeWatch Centres. Its members are appointed by the General Assembly.
The Executive Board will prepare and implement the General Assembly decisions, prepare its decisions in future meetings and coordinate and manage the overall activities of the LifeWatch ERIC.
The Executive Board will be of no more than five members and at least of three members, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Financial Officer and the Director of Information and Telecommunication Technologies for 5 years and renewable.
In the first application, the Executive Board is composed by:

Over the last few months, I've been trying out Patagonia's Splice approach shoe. When it arrived in the mail, I was a little unsure of how light and flimsy the shoe felt. Right off the bat it reminded me of Evolv's Cruzer, except a little more rugged and better designed, in my opinion. I immediately liked the dark colors and bright red laces. It reminded me of a pair of old hiking shoes I used to wear when I was a kid.
Patagonia classifies the Splice as an approach shoe and I'd say it is true to the classification, but if you're headed out for a multi-day approach or carrying a heavy load, you might want to check out something a little burlier with more support. Something like their Cragmaster would fit the bill nicely.
I was worried about how unsupportive the shoe is when I first started checking them out. But over the last several months, multiple approaches in Chamonix and around here in the Northeast, they are still holding strong.
Aside from the cool color coordination, I really like the overlapping tongue design. I am used to wearing SCARPA's Crux approach shoe and the tongue notoriously moves around, same with a pair of Five Ten Camp Fours I have. The overlapping self-centering tongue on the Splice is pretty awesome, it doesn't move around and expose your sock, and it helps keep pebbles out. It make me wonder why more shoes aren't designed with the same style tongue.
The upper is made of canvas and suede leather and has held up nicely on multiple 4th/easy 5th class scrambling where putting your climbing shoes one would just be time consuming. They jam and do the trick nicely. The rubber on the sole of the shoe has held up impressively well. It's a little slippery when walking around on wet rocks, but other than it still looks nearly new.
Bottom line: The Splice is a rad shoe, nicely designed, super light, affordable at $100.00 and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone seeking out an ultralight shoe for short crag approaches.

Epilepsy Drugs in Pregnancy May Affect Infants' Fine Motor Skills
Posted 25 Sep 2013 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 25 – Young children exposed to epilepsy drugs in the womb are at increased risk of having impaired fine motor skills, according to a new study. Exposure to the drugs in breast milk, however, does not appear to pose a threat. Researchers looked at data collected from Norwegian mothers about their children's language, behavior, and motor and social skills at the ages of 6 months, 18 months and 36 months. The women also provided information on breast-feeding during the first year for the study, which was published online Sept. 23 in the journal JAMA Neurology. Of the children in the study, 223 were exposed to one or more epilepsy drugs in the womb. At age 6 months, 11.5 percent of infants whose mothers took epilepsy drugs during pregnancy had impaired fine motor skills (which involve small muscle movements) compared with less than 5 percent of those who were not exposed ...

Epilepsy Drugs May Raise Fracture Risk in Older Adults
Posted 11 Jan 2011 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Jan. 11 – Epilepsy drugs increase older adults' risk for bone fractures, a new study shows. Canadian researchers analyzed the medical records of 15,792 people 50 and older who'd had non-traumatic fractures between April 1996 and March 2004. Each person was matched with up to three people who'd never had a fracture, for a total of 47,289 people to serve as controls. The researchers also looked at the participants' use of epilepsy drugs, including carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Epitol, Tegretol), clonazepam (Klonopin), ethosuximide (Zarontin), gabapentin (Gabarone, Neurontin), phenobarbital (Luminal), phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek) and valproic acid (Depakene, Depakote). All but one of the drugs was associated with an increased risk for fractures. The greatest risk was among people taking phenytoin and carbamazepine. Valproic acid was the only drug not linked with an increased chance ... Read more

Oldest Epilepsy Drug Best for Children
Posted 3 Mar 2010 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, March 3 – A landmark comparison of three drugs widely used against the most common form of childhood epilepsy finds the oldest to be the most effective. The study of 453 children at 32 U.S. medical centers found that ethosuximide (Zarontin), one of the oldest anti-seizure medications available in the United States, is most effective at controlling what is called absence or "petit mal" epilepsy, with the fewest side effects. Valproic acid (Valproate, Depakote) came second, and the newest drug, lamotrigine (Lamictal), was third, according to a report in the March 4 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. "This is the first real hard evidence of comparing the three most commonly used medicines, and finds one superior to the other two," said trial leader Dr. Tracy A. Glauser, director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. ... Read more

Lenny Kravitz added to BBC Radio 2 playlist
Lenny Kravitz's new single 'Ooo Baby Baby' has just been added to the BBC Radio 2 C List. The new single is taken from Kravitz's latest album Strut, which was released last September and which has received strong support from Radio 2 as a previous Record of the Week as well as the single 'The Chamber' being A-listed.
As always, Kravitz plays guitar, bass, keyboards and drums and percussion on the album, and produced and arranged it as well. To provide the final defining touch on Strut, however, Kravitz called on the legendary Bob Clearmountain to mix the album (David Bowie's Let's Dance, the Rolling Stones' Tattoo You and Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A.)
Lenny Kravitz has transcended genre, style, race and class into a 20-year musical career, one which revels in the rich influences of '60s and '70s soul, rock and funk.

While Dez Bryant's contract situation has stolen the headlines over the past couple of weeks in Dallas Cowboys land, DeMarco Murray has seen his record-pace workload diminished fairly significantly over the past couple of games heading into the Cowboys' bye week this past week.
Both of those guys will be free agents following this season, and with quarterback Tony Romo locked up for the rest of his career, the Cowboys have some decisions to make on the other two-thirds of the new version of The Triplets.
The assumption is that the Cowboys will defy Bryant's wishes and, in reality, empty threats by placing the franchise tag on the star receiver, something they can do for the 2015 and 2016 seasons with Bryant having no real say in the matter. It was also assumed the Cowboys would simply ride Murray into the ground this year, let him set the NFL single-season rushing record with 400 carries and then let him walk in free agency with the thought he'd never again be the same.
However, the Cowboys have reined in Murray's workload in recent weeks, so how's this for a suggestion: Put the franchise tag on a less dramatic Murray and give Bryant the contract he wants, or at least a reasonable deal for someone of his talent and starpower, and make no mistake, he's right up there with Calvin Johnson in the discussion for the greatest wide receiver in the game right now.
That way you get Murray on a one-year deal for 2015 and can see how his body responds to the workload this year, and you have your No. 1 receiver locked up for four or five years. Think about it, Jerry.

Last year's marathon security measures to continue
Events are in full swing in connection with the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon.
A health and fitness expo, which was among activities that began on Thursday, will continue Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Activities and Recreation Center on the University of Illinois campus. And the first round of races gets underway Friday evening at 7:30 with the 5K run and walk. It starts on Oak Street just south of St. Mary's Road near the State Farm Center in Champaign.
Marathon Emergency Services Coordinator Scott Friedlein said a higher level of security that was put in place following the bomb explosions at last year's Boston Marathon will remain this year. He said a large part of the stronger security measures involves increased staffing.
- Hear from Scott Friedlein.
Friedlein also said you should be aware of your surroundings, and if someone or something looks out of place, call 911 so police can check it out to make sure the race remains safe.
Races Friday morning begin just before 7, with participants leaving the starting line at First and St. Mary's Road in waves. The finish line for all races is inside Memorial Stadium where no backpacks, bags, coolers, containers or alcoholic beverages will be allowed. Small purses and fanny packs can be taken in but are subject to inspection.

Okay, California Pacific Airlines ready again
FAA-certified, but start dates out of Carlsbad airport uncertain (psst, April)
Ken Harrison 8:30 a.m., Nov. 18
Not even half past nine o'clock's ass and we've got our first entry. This one tests the line between self-control and self-indulgence.
It's always interesting to watch and hear the decision making process, especially when you're not involved. Or drunk. The brain must be firing synapse after synapse, shot after shot. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of those frontal lobes. But I digress.
While enjoying a nicotine fix, two ladies, I'd say in their upper 20s, low 30s, had obviously left the bar and were now walking- check that, stumbling towards their exit vehicle. As they get to the corner, approximately 15 feet from where I'm standing but directly in front of the restaurant/bar I live on top of, one of them sees a sign that boasts a late-night happy hour starting at 10pm.
DRUNK #1: Should we wait? I mean, that's only (staring at her watch)... uh... (still staring at her watch)
DRUNK #2: I think 30 minutes.
DRUNK #1: Yeah, 30 minutes. Wow. That's a long time.
DRUNK #2: But three dollar drafts and four dollar wines....
DRUNK #1: I know, right?
DRUNK #2: I mean, I don't know. Are you good?
DRUNK #1: Good? As in drunk?
DRUNK #2: Yeah. 'Cause I'm drunk.
DRUNK #1: So you're good?
DRUNK #2: Well....
Needless to say, they stumbled in to the restaurant, maybe a little early but definitely on time. They're good. And drunk. Wait... is that the same thing?
LMAO! I lived above my Uncle Pete's bar in Chippewa Falls,WI one summer. He was a coke dealer when he wasn't at the bar. I used to sit above the entrance and watch about 6 bars. Very interesting stuff to see when you're sober. Oh the things I heard.
I'm guessing this is one of Pike's pals. :)
Could be, Fishy.
Geez, all these new bloggers are darn good!
Yes! I am looking forward to reading something good every day when I get here!
Though I must confess a partiality for Nan's!!!!! :)
er..um..r u Canadian Adam...only Canadian women would wait a half hour for three dollar drafts
because it would be Molsons....hahahahahahaha
Pete..ur friends r ubercoolish pally!!!
oh no Fish..i flaked out today and got serious...i'll get funny again before sunset...Octoberfests everywhere today...i may meet those ladies at El Cajons or at Por Favor's today good...and drunk
We're expecting nothing but the best from you, Mr. 92102.
Welcome to the baddest a$$ed blog spot in the West, bro! We're definitely all stoked for some serious exit polls.
Yes. Yes they....once you get to know 'em :-D
