The Internal Revenue Service is the "easiest, most basic way" of enforcing the health care law's fee for those who can afford to but choose not to get insurance but it is not a "tax," Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Monday.
Speaking on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer," Wasserman Schultz said Monday, that the law should be enforced by the federal government's taxing arm because "it's simply a matter of ease in administration."
"The way we usually think of taxation, Wolf, is that taxation as the IRS administers is collected on broad swaths and large categories of individuals," Wasserman Schultz said. "This is a penalty that will be assessed on the tax return if you choose to roll the dice and make us all pay for your being irresponsible and increase all of our health care costs.
"We're not going to tolerate that any more in America. You have to be responsible and you have to pay a penalty if you choose not to be," she continued.
The Supreme Court ruled the individual mandate, which is enforced by a punitive tax or penalty, constitutional under Congress' taxation power.
Republicans have since criticized the law as an additional tax, though a top adviser to GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Monday broke with most of his party and said that it is not a tax.

Gammons quotes Rangers official: 'We got Upton'
MLB Network's Peter Gammons was present and recently tweeted about some of the "fun" surrounding the endless trade rumors about Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton:
If you don't believe the multi-team Upton trade talk, Wednesday night a Rangers official called an Astros officisl and said, "we got Upton."
— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) December 7, 2012
Upton has been part of trade rumors for the last three offseasons, and his name has been one of the most talked about at this year's gathering.
Obviously nothing is official at this point and Gammons' tweet could indicate just how close the trade was to going down before the plug was pulled. It could also indicate that the deal is close to consummation.
Thursday, talk of complicated three and four-team deals surfaced with Upton being one of the centerpieces for potential swaps. Other teams that have been rumored in such deals are the Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Indians, and of course, the Texas Rangers.
Based on Gammons' tweet, Friday could be an interesting day on the Upton front.

Historian Podcasts
Folder contains uploaded podcasts from various history content providers that feature historians presenting on seminal American history topics.
- David Hackett Fischer -- Washington Crossing of Delaware
- Recording on January 10, 2005, at the The New-York Historical Society -- part of the Gilder Lehrman Institute Historians' Forums: Most Americans know George Washington's December 1776 crossing of the Delaware from the famous painting by Emmanuel Gottlieb Leutze, which depicts Washington standing bravely in a rowboat on stormy waters. David Hackett Fischer, author of Washington's Crossing, looks beyond the famous painting to the events of that tumultuous month. One of Washington's great strengths was his ability to lead men from different regions and walks of life. He was also known for his humane treatment of British prisoners -- treatment that the British did not reciprocate with American prisoners.
- Joyce Appleby -- "Inheriting the Revolution: The First Generation of Americans
- The first generation of Americans — those born after 1776 — were different from the colonists that came before them. Shaped not only by the nation's founding principles, they were also affected by increasingly global commerce, culture, and the growing diversity of the American people. Historian Joyce Appleby explores the lives of four early Americans and the profound differences between their world and that of their parents' generation.

A staff and wire report
The first of the year brings new laws and policies to North Carolina, other states and the nation.
North Carolina has a new law intended to crack down on people who steal used restaurant cooking grease. Another law aims to prevent dangerous people from working in day care centers.
Elsewhere in the country, measures on gay rights and child safety take effect at the start of 2013, along with perennial efforts to restrict abortion and illegal immigration.
In many states, new laws take effect Jan. 1.
North Carolina's new grease-theft law takes effect Tuesday. Rep. John Torbett of Gaston County sponsored it after he received complaints that people accused of these thefts were getting little punishment.
Restaurants used to have to pay to dispose of their used cooking oil, but now it's a popular item for recycling - they get paid for it.
"What was garbage is now becoming a commodity," Torbett said.
Thieves break the locks on outdoor storage vessels and vacuum the grease out, he said.
Torbett's grease law makes it a misdemeanor to steal the used cooking oil, and a felony if the value of the stolen grease or the grease plus its container are worth more than $1,000.
The felony classification will make judges and thieves more aware of the seriousness of the crime, Torbett said. "Now they know it's more than just a misdemeanor slap on the hand."
Workers at day care centers will come under more scrutiny starting Tuesday.
It is supposed to make day care centers safer.
"Essentially, how it accomplishes that is by expanding the criminal record check process for child care providers," state Sen. Warren Daniel of Morganton said when the state Senate considered the legislation in June.
"Specifically, it will clarify that child care providers must have a record check prior to their employment, and every three years thereafter to catch any new offenses that may have occurred."
Also, people who have been convicted of child neglect or abuse, a sex offense or an attempt to commit a sexual offense will be prohibited from working in child care, he said.
A voter-approved law allowing same-sex couples to marry takes effect in Maryland in January. A similar law took effect in Maine on Saturday. California also approved a law exempting clergy members opposed to gay marriage from performing same-sex marriage ceremonies.
In California, a first-of-its-kind law bans a form of psychotherapy aimed at making gay teenagers straight but is on hold during a court challenge. The law would ban what is known as reparative or conversion therapy for minors; such therapies are widely discredited by medical professionals.
A number of laws seek to protect children from abuse. Pennsylvania school employees in contact with children, who already must report suspected abuse, must now be trained to recognize the warning signs, their legal obligations, and what are considered appropriate relationships with children.
That law was debated and voted on in June as a jury was finding former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky guilty of 45 counts for sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years.
States continue to wrestle with illegal immigration. Pennsylvania will include a requirement that contractors on public works projects make sure through the federal E-Verify system that their employees are legal U.S. residents.
North Carolina is phasing in similar regulations. As of Tuesday, employers with 100 or more workers must use E-Verify. Those with 25 to 99 will have to comply July 1.
In Montana, voters overwhelmingly passed a measure requiring parental notification for minors' abortions, while in Georgia a new law will prohibit doctors from performing an abortion 20 weeks after an egg is fertilized unless a pregnancy is determined to be medically futile, meaning it would result in the birth of a child unlikely to survive because of a serious defect.
New Hampshire enacts a ban on a type of late-term abortion procedure sometimes called "partial birth abortion."
Among other new laws:
In Florida, it will no longer be illegal to flash your headlights to warn oncoming drivers that police are lurking on the roadside ahead.
Alabama begins cracking down on the state's 900,000 uninsured drivers with a new system that allows instant checks by police, license plate offices and the state Revenue Department.
In New Mexico, drivers registering a car or truck will be able to donate $1 or $5 to a state fund that supports programs and services for veterans, such as assistance in finding a job or treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. In Utah, U.S. military personnel will be exempted from having to pay a full year's property taxes after their return from 200 days of active duty in any calendar year.
A California law bans the use of dogs when hunting bobcats or bears.

"We need to be innovative," said Orlove. "And we should consider things like putting up flood gates at the mouth of the Hudson (River) and other vulnerable points that could help hold back the tide."
An army of municipal workers and private contractors is addressing the more immediate concerns, working around the clock in New York to pump out sea water and wipe down salt-caked machinery like underground transformers, circuit switches and generators.
As workers scrambled to restore equipment, thousands of otherwise stranded commuters defiantly walked to work this week, often abandoning taxi cabs in the city's traffic-clogged streets.
"I left my house at 6:45 a.m. and I'm still walking," said Elizabeth Gorman, a 40-year-old Queens resident who crossed the Queensboro Bridge at around 10 a.m. "I don't know what (else) to do. I have to get to work."
New York's buses, trains and subways are all slowly coming back online. But for many residents across the region where full transit service has yet to be restored, the slog to work continues.

PRICE REDUCED AGAIN! $75 plus $5 shipping to CONUS more elsewhere!!!
I have an eBikes.ca 48V 40A sensored controller. It can be upgraded to 100V with a single resistor change. I picked it up not working and had it repaired by Lyen. It's a 12 FET IRFB4110 unit with an LVC of 27V.
It's very similar to the current model sold by ebikes.ca except that it doesn't have the voltage flexibility of the new one shown below. Mine is designed to run at 48V but can be modded with a resistor to run at 100V.
I've had this controller for a while as a backup but am now moving on to other projects so am selling it. I've never actually had this controller on a bike.
The one I'm selling has the shorter leads.
Here's the video of Lyen testing the controller.
New, the eBikes.ca 40A controller sells for $175 new. I'm selling mine for $75.
Paypal only and shipping will be $5 more to the USA. Higher elsewhere. PM me with any questions.

Excellent place to relax and unwind. Staff is very professional. The ameniities are good. It is not opulent, but very practical and flirts with luxury without being pretentious.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
the first night was very noisy on the first level b/c of a large retreat at the hotel. however after speaking with the manager, he was able to switch us to a King size room down the hallway and much quieter.

"Centrally located, clean, friendly staff"
Clean and relatively new/modern rooms; staff was very polite and willing to please. Only comments/semi-complaints are that 1) we were "upgraded" to a partial-view room after waiting in line to check-in behind a disgruntled customer, and it was definitely a PARTIAL view - I'm glad we didn't end up having to see what a non-view room was. 2) This is more […] about the restaurant right next door but I think there was some kind of affiliation so I'm including this - anyway, my boyfriend and I popped over for a happy hour drink/appetizer after checking in. After ordering, the waitress cam back a few minutes later to tell me they were out of gin (a bar/restaurant runs out of that??) for one of the signature cocktails I ordered. Then I ordered a beer and our waitress went to get it along with my boyfriend's drink. But she came back AGAIN and said they were out of that particular beer - if there are such holes in supply, servers should be more aware of what's available or not. That, plus the fact that the glass our waitress brought for my boyfriend's beer was filthy and had unidentifiable chunks stuck to the insides, in my opinion should have resulted in at least one of our drinks comped. She was very apologetic about everything but it all just seemed unprofessional and that would have been a professional way to address those minor - but multiple - issues.

"Great stop along hwy 1"
Loved this hotel! It was a perfect stop driving down the coast from San Fran to Santa Monica. The rooms are great and have a fire place which was fun. The jacuzzi and pool was perfect and relaxing after a long drive. The location is nice when driving the coast. There isn't too much to do right around the hotel but that didn't bother us since we wanted […] a quieter relaxing place to spend the day and night btwn drives. The gym is nice, older equipment but everything worked. Staff was friendly. Lobby was under renovation but other than that the hotel looked well kept.

"Not worth the price"
Not a very pleasant check-in experience. The lobby wasn't clean and when we visited the gift shop, the staff was very rude. The room was just OK...a bit outdated and the A/C didn't work well.

We stayed at The Cliffs the night before to visit Cal Poly the following day and would definitely go back to this hotel, however, would book an ocean view next time!

We really dug the valet and the women who cleaned the room, we didnt even expect either of those things and to come […] back to our room with not only the beds made nice and neat but the kids stuffed animals decorating the pillows neatly stacked was unexpected.

"Room 225-not so peaceful"
The staff was friendly and I had an AMAZING massage by Anna. Unfortunately, the hotel room was loud, (little kids ages 3 and 5 running in the halls between rooms at 10:30pm, two nights in a row!!!!!! ) there was an annoying fan outside our window that kept going on and off all night, and the bathrooms were the size of a postage stamp. Our bathroom […] fan did not work, so it was fogged up and stinky when my husband did his business. The pool was warm and the hot tub bubbly. The workout room is right next to the spa, so that made for a not so relaxing environment during the massage. Luckily Anna had to ask a few people to please keep their voices down and to put off the nearby construction of the sauna until I was done with the massage. I did appreciate the path to the beach since the Pismo Pier was way too crowded for fun. Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"The Cliff"
Our stay was just ok for a place that was rated at 4 stars. The most disappointing thing was that the hotel says it allows pets and didn't state on the site that there is a $55 dollar charge for a pet fee. Because we had a pet they put us on the first floor in a room that was freezing cold with tile floor. The heater was broken so the room couldnt get […] warm. The location of the hotel was very nice but over all it wasn't worth $300 a night. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

"Pismo beach hotel"
The hotel was nice enough, however very noisy. The motor for air conditioner or heater would run for 8 minutes about every 20 minutes or so. Possibly that side of the hotel is where they put guests only staying one night, the person in the room next to us had the same complaint when checking out , room 225 and theres was room 223. The beach was not […] clean, so possibly you get a good rate because of this although $180 a night is expensive but maybe not for being near the ocean Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

We chose this hotel mostly based on it's "pet friendly" status and location. With beach access right from our back door and an extremely friendly and accomodating staff, we were extremely pleased.

I'm not sure if the hotel kept the temperature at 71 […] degrees for energy efficiency, but was a little cool for me at night. Other than that a great place to stay and I will definitely be back and recommend this hotel to any one. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

"Bad Experience at The Cliffs"
Valet lost our car key (later found), toilet smaller than apt size, no liner under the shower curtain (water ended up flooding the floor), coffee maker was defective and melted coffee tray. We wanted to have brunch on Sun at the hotel, but we were never informed that we needed a reservation. When we went to speak to the front desk, the clerk said oh […] you only need reservations for Sunday bunch. Hello, we stayed Saturday night the next day was Sunday. Staff did not seem to care that we were not happy. When you pay upwards of $400 a night for a room you would expect better service. Maybe when you are booked solid you don't care about the people that stay with you. Next time we'll stay at a Best Western and pay maybe half the cost and get better treatment. We will never stay at The Cliffs again and we will never recommend the hotel to anyone. On the contrary I would discourage anyone from staying at the place.

Overall great stay. Just had to ask twice for a couple extra towels and also had to ask twice about getting an extra mattress/pad for my son to sleep on the floor.

"Nice, but a little loud."
The hotel felt a little dated, but nice. The only real problem was noise. We were on the 3rd floor, just above the lobby. People checking in or just congregating in the lobby were very loud in our room. In the evening, the bar and pool area were super loud as well. I would request a room further from the lobby. The staff was super nice though and responded […] to our request to change rooms Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai

We stayed in a "dog friendly" room and there was ghastly tile instead of carpet plus they charge you a $55 pet fee which is a little ridiculous despite the dog bowl and treats.

There was a lot of attention to detail in the lobby and room. Nice furniture, comfortable bed, couch, and chair. Good view of the pool and ocean.

"Great location, great hotel"
The timing, getting away from a hectic work schedule was combined with Valentine's Day, our anniversary and a 3 day weekend that was surrounded by incredible weather and sunsets. We got lucky with someone's late cancellation that enabled us to enjoy another night. We started with a couples massage right after check-in and that truly set the stage for […] a completely relaxing time. The hotel was entirely clean (inside and out), the staff were all friendly and it seemed like they were genuinely happy working there which makes a difference, breakfast at the restaurant outside on the patio was great with spectacular views.

Just been down to the picking part of the garden in Suffolk and come back with these. The colours are even more electrifying in real life. The gladioli and dahlias are collections from Sarah Raven. Although never the cheapest, she does have a brilliant eye for colour combinations.
It's hard to see because it is so dark but the deep claret dahlia is a gem and has flowered and flowered for weeks. Just in front is the little orange pompom dahlia - not so floriferous but still a fun contrast.
Runner beans of course which should always go straight from the plant to the pot for the freshest flavour. So not a bad start for the first year of growing in Suffolk. It's all got to be moved next week to make way for the new Alitex greenhouse - SO exciting!

Joining us -- Washington Charles Krauthammer -- in the context of the state of the union where the president is going to announce.
How many troops he's going to withdraw this year from Afghanistan it's going to be a substantial number.
Cheney and basically any -- here on the former vice president knows very well -- -- state of the union day.
-- busy trying to Trotter the military trying to.
Look it's always very difficult -- -- the motives of any actor.
And I have slightly different view and that is what is Obama right course -- community organizer.
He's a man who believes in leveling between the collapses.
He's a man who wants to go against inequality to reduce inequality.
And to bring -- the lefties in -- of the left.
We'll call social justice what's the biggest that the model of that in the world.
Western Europe he's a European social Democrat.
Sweden France Britain those are examples and they are the entitlement state what's his major achievement in the first hour.
Obama -- nationalizing health care the way they have it in Europe and until Obama we didn't have it here and how do you how do you get the money.
To subsidize.
An entitlement state.
In two ways of Europeans have shown us raise taxes -- -- here in the state of the union.
Obama is very intent on raising taxes relentlessly and you reducing defense spending.
After the Second World -- the European countries slashed and defense spending it to the point where the French can't even airlift.
Troops into -- a few hundred miles away.
And that's how they were able to finally entitlement state Obama I do not think wants to destroy the military.
But his main -- the reason he is president.
And what he wants to achieve and to leave as a legacy.
Is to create a more as he would say socially just entitlement state like Europe.
And that's why he doesn't really care.
About the cuts in the Pentagon because that's where you get the money.
And he wants to raise taxes because that's the other source of getting the money so that's how I understand what he wants to do.
I don't know let me ask you -- ridiculous questions okay and he used to that for me right.
That's rarely had to straighten you out OK number one why did you say that.
What you said why doesn't pres Obama just say it because you got to run for office again it was -- -- said.
Look I don't think they sang I'm a European social Democrat.
He's an appealing argument why -- and I -- enjoyed that way but he had a what he -- I wanna spend less on the Pentagon.
And more on social justice what does and they just say that he's already said that -- inaugural address.
He said we have to nation build at home.
What does that mean it is clear is a bailout.
We don't want to spend our money in wars.
We wanna spend our money at home we're gonna spend it on cruise all team we always -- -- just -- it just say.
He won't he say -- say every which way he's been saying in every sense.
He was inaugurated in 2009 doesn't say the words you read the words that way but I betcha if he were -- And I had all day long.
Why don't wanna do and I'm not gonna do that I'm just gonna modernize our army is gonna do this -- -- -- if he's never gonna say.
I'm gonna take the money from the military and give it to people.
Because I think that.
Still a social just way to go back -- and say that he's a politician.
Who understands.
That if you're going to win the argument.
Crush the Republicans.
Get this done in congress you have to speak the language of the people so what does he say don't say -- a Swede did.
He says what I want to do is to have the very lean military we don't want these wars abroad we don't want to be there had them on the dominant power.
Well we might have insisted that it is always don't wanna be the dominant power charging their mistake that.
He goes around the world apologize -- I know what he's done is he just doesn't say Iraq.
Now what you.
-- I'm just trying to -- not just get a little tired of the dance you know what I mean.
I get tired of the dancing you so bad it's wide it's -- -- two elections in a row his -- yeah but he added I'm just assets and they're just stare at now.
He managed -- with a dance he -- to -- Republicans he won on the fiscal cliff and now he's gonna want.
Some -- and you know what the arguing he's gonna make on sequestering is.
I'd go to the Republicans are the ones who are defending the rich are the tax.
Breaks for the oil companies.
And they -- they wanted to take the food.
Out of amounts of a -- -- -- -- -- -- -- different realized why those might actually as a way of saying he would do you read my mind yeah there you read my mind he's he's he's actually let's say you for the show.
He's not gonna say tonight I'm gonna raise taxes never says that.
Right on the rich he did but he's gonna say we have to close the loopholes all right.
On a private jets and the oil companies and more subsidies.
That's what he's gonna do which is an effective tax race.
All right so you grew at me and not on the grass and I'm gonna raise taxes again on these damn people dollar item and I want them on.
-- you are conceding that he dances he won't say it straight.
To talk about Lou knows what he really wants to raise taxes so it doesn't really well raising taxes for Obama that's exactly right that's why he uses this -- kind of lying right.
He wins with that.
-- and that's what he does all day long quite a final question is.
The state of the union is just propaganda to me.
I think you'll and -- 35 years I don't think have ever heard a pithy statement from any president is don't break we're going -- and whatever I do is gonna help you.
Every president every want my wrong.
Look of the reason he's giving the speech.
He's not so that he -- a pithy statement in the memory of the nation's.
And they get -- engraved on his tombstone.
He's giving this speech to crush the Republicans.
-- we already has on the run.
Because she knows that the only thing standing between him and his left agenda that he wants to enact.
Which was stopped in the last two years he's to neutralize to marginalize Republican House and if he does that he started -- but the fiscal cliff.
He split them and you neutralize them if he does it -- to sequester of these other arguments he then has the high road.
I'm opposed to controlling Washington and to change the country the way he said he would and the way he started in years one and two.
All right Charles crowd -- everyone thanks very much we appreciate it and -- president's.

Brazil officials seek to curb protest violence
October 31, 2013 @ 4:37 pm
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Brazilian security officials from federal and state levels say they're going to work together better to combat violent protesters.
National Justice Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo met Thursday with top security officials from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo states. Those have been the two hotbeds of continuing anti-government protests. Small demonstrations were seen in both Rio and Sao Paulo as Cardozo spoke.
He says federal and state governments will work to standardize policing tactics for demonstrations. He also says officials may suggest stiffer penalties for protesters who engage in violence or vandalism.
Officials hope to better control protests expected during next year's World Cup soccer tournament. Huge anti-government demonstrations overshadowed a warm-up tournament in June.
Protests have lessened in size since then, but young anarchists have stepped up violence.

A Man Shatters the Starbucks Record By Ordering a $47.50 Coffee
Last year, a 22-year-old in Texas ordered the most expensive Starbucks drink EVER. It was a Java Chip Frappuccino with 16 extra espresso shots plus a bunch of other add-ons . . . and it cost $23.60.
--Well that record just got SHATTERED. Because a guy named Beau Chevassus in Enumclaw, Washington, just found a way to order a drink at Starbucks that cost $47.30.
--He ordered a $4.75 venti Mocha Frappuccino . . . then added 48 extra espresso shots. Those alone cost an extra $36.
--He also tossed in two bananas, vanilla syrup, strawberry puree, mocha drizzle, caramel drizzle, chocolate chips, vanilla bean, matcha powder, and protein powder.
--He calls the drink the Quadriginoctuple Frap. There's no word on how it tasted.

Thai review and more
However, when all is said and done, I think the food at Thai Flavor might have been superior. Kao Thai certainly draws a large lunch crowd, but the missus and I were only ambivalent about the food. There were several lunch specials from which to choose, but every dish except one contained chicken. There were no veggie options on the daily lunch specials; there was one fish dish.
This missus did order this one. It was some kind of a fried salmon dish with rice and a spring roll, that left my better half pretty disappointed. She said the spring roll was the best thing on the plate. I will say the however, the dish photographs well.
I opted to order something other than one of the daily specials - meaning I lost out on a spring roll. I ordered the Dragon Noodles Jae. It was tasty, but nothing to get excited about. It was supposed to be spicy, but it wasn't. I also could have done with a bit more fried tofu and broccoli. They were pretty stingy on both counts. It was a filling lunch, but I'd give it a 6 out of 10. I think the next time we do Thai in the 'hood for lunch we'll head over to Charm Thai. When we walk to Thai for dinner, my legs know to take me straight to our old favorite Thai Derm. And I know, there are better Thai places around, but it is a sentimental favorite for us.
A few other items to note. What's up with Highland Coffee? The windows have been papered over for at least two weeks. There are no signs on the place to indicate what is happening and I saw nothing on line. Anyone have a clue?
No changes yet across the street from Highland at Fresh Start. The chairs are still stacked on the tables and it appears they are no closer to reopening. I spotted some of the old retirees who used to hit FS for coffee in the morning at Kefa. Cafe I felt kinda bad. I like Kefa and all, but it most certainly has a different vibe than FS. These guys didn't look all too comfortable there.
And across Silver Spring Ave from FS, the Krazy Claws truck still sits in the County lot. That thing has not moved since my return. So much for me walking to get a lobster roll. I guess I'll have to wait till I am back in Maine. Not sure about their business plan!
Just west and north of this intersection, Society Lounge is still struggling to open. The last post on their Facebook page is from Jan. 25. Every time I walk by an opening seems imminent, but it has not yet happened. This worries me about the long-term staying power of this place -- assuming one day it will open its doors. We shall see.
12 comments:
Fresh Starts has a new display sign sitting inside it that says "New Management ..." didn't catch the rest since I was on a bus going by it, but at least it's kind of an explanation of why it closed suddenly.
Saw the owner of Society standing in front of it the other day. Didn't ask him what's up, but figure they're waiting on a final OK from the county which, unfortunately, always seems to push back the opening of any restaurant around here. - February 16, 2012 at 12:28 PM

A few of us ordered delivery from Kao Thai a few weeks ago. When we called (a drizzly Saturday night), they did tell us they were busy, but quoted the delivery time at about an hour.
Over two hours later, our food finally arrived- we had called to check on it at about the 1.5 hour mark and there was no apology- just "it's on it's way", no offer to comp anything etc.
The food itself was "meh", nothing amazing, nothing terrible. I probably will just order from Charm Thai next time. - February 16, 2012 at 1:30 PM
Sietsma says to be sure the owner--a woman--is in the kitchen if you're going to eat at Kao Thai. Apparently truly good cooking is done by women in Thailand, and she's the real deal. I haven't been yet, but have heard that takeout doesn't do it justice.
I was unimpressed by a couple of takeout trips to Charm Thai: everything was perfectly fine, but there wasn't anything to sway me from Thai Derm, whose warmly spicy Chicken Panang hits the spot every time. Plus Thai Derm will make pretty much any Thai dish you've ever had anywhere else, if they have the ingredients. I recently realized that they don't even have Panang on their regular menu, but they always make it for me without batting an eye. And I've asked about pad voon sen before and they've whipped up a nice version with a good variety of veggies and a lovely sauce. - February 16, 2012 at 2:01 PM
Thai Charm is our favortie Thai restaurant in DTSS, and that's not only because they offer vegetarian versions of just about all their dishes. The quality of the food is simply superior to that of their competitors. And they've really stepped up the heat on their dishes. Tom Sietsema criticized their papaya salad as being bland, which is what I thought when I first ate there. Now, it's fiery hot (ped mak, which I love.
It would be better if they served hard liquor, but they do have Singha and Chang beer, so it's still fine. - February 16, 2012 at 2:03 PM
Wait wait, vegetarians are revewing thai food and complaining about it?
You guys are aware that tofu is not a standard issue right? Maybe there should be a disclaimer on this site. - February 16, 2012 at 3:07 PM
Re-read the letter. I was praising Thai Charm.
If you're talking about criticism of the the papaya salad, then you should know Mr. Sietsama is devoutly omnivorous.
And having been to numerous Thai restaurants, including plenty in Thailand, I can assure you that tofu is always featured on the menus. The Thai have a long tradition of vegetarian cuisine. - February 16, 2012 at 3:39 PM

Charm Thai is our favorite in DTSS -- hands down the best restaurant addition to DTSS for 2011. I love their noodle dishes -- particularly mai pha. My partner loves their curries. It quickly replaced thai flavor as tops in thai here, imho. The staff is always friendly, carryout is always quick, the place is clean, and the happy hour & lunch specials are very moderately priced.

I second the comments of SR. There are numerous Thai recipes where veg/tofu can be substituted for the meat and one can still judge the quality of the dish. And while I did not eat red/white meat and poultry for many, many years, I actually do now.
I would love to sink my teeth into some lemongrass chicken or Thai-style pork. But until most restaurants can offer diners non-industrially raised meat dishes, I'll be sticking with tofu and veg. - February 17, 2012 at 11:12 AM

re your longings for lobster: if you're willing to ride the Red Line to Gallery Place, check out Luke's Lobster. www.lukeslobster.com.
An excerpt from the Post's Going Out Guide review:
"At your service: The interior of Luke's Lobster looks like a New England seafood shack. Customers order at one shingle-framed window and pick up at another, and the lines move briskly. The entire staff seems to be friendly, efficient and young.
Bottom line: Compared with a Corner Bakery salad, $18 isn't a exactly a cheap lunch, even with chips and soda included. But when the craving for a shellfish sandwich strikes, Luke's is one of the best in the area." - February 29, 2012 at 1:11 PM

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Light to medium gold with a greenish hue, this wine exhibits wonderfully pure notes of wood spice such as vanillin, honeyed citrus, a hint of under-ripe peach, and touches of creme brulee and marmalade. With great acidity and finesse, this is a medium-bodied, impressively endowed, but generally..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A rich Yquem, with coffee, dried orange skin, and dried apples. Full and sweet, with a round body and very yummy. A touch of bitterness on the palate."
