Cafe Thirty-A
Online Reservations
Lovely place to dine with so many choices in the area this is one of our favorites.
The go to spot in rosemary beach area. Delightful, fun, upscale beach vibe. Great food. Killer cocktails. .
No restaurant in the area comes close. Either eat here or get your steamed shrimp at Goatfeathers, a loaf of bread from Modica Market, and stay home! Both of our salads made us swoon -- spinach with fried oysters for him, beat salad for me. He then had quail and grits and we got the recipe since the grits made our eyes roll back. I had roasted snapper on spring pea risotto. Enough said. Eat here. Trust me.
we came as a party of six and ended up getting five different dishes. The true scale of a great restaurant is people wanting to share there meals with the table....saying oh my god you must try this!!! I was happy I ordered the filet and can not remember ever having a better steak in many years. Will certainly return at our next trip to the panhandle. Actually are talking about going back before we leave.
Have dined here many times.....and the food and service always meet and exceed expectations. Awesome as always!
We had a group of 5 which grew to 9 at the last minute. Thirty A accommodated us easily. Foie was great and service was excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant
I haven't eaten here much but it is a great venue for dining.
We always dine here whenever we visit Florida. The lobster was outstanding, as was the grouper. Our server, Genie P. is a real gem. A true professional. We are already looking forward to our return next year.
Our favorite in this part of the world. Never a bad meal. Best mussels. Alex, our waiter, is superb.
Cafe 30A is a wonderful restaurant! The food and service are impeccable! Michael has been our waiter the times we've been there ; he knows the menu and is extremely attentive! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Sandestin area!
Cafe 30a is still my absolute favorite on the beach. It doesn't matter when you go you can plan on having a memorable dinner! You can't go wrong at this restaurant.
This was our second time there and it didn't disappoint. Well worth the stop if you are staying on the emerald coast!
Excellent selection of food choices. As a bonus, between 5 and 6 PM all entries are buy one get on free. Makes the prices much more realistic You will not be disappointed with this establishment.
The food and service is fantastic. Our waiter was very personable; just the right mix of being friendly and conversational without feeling fake about his sincerity or overbearing. I've eaten there several times and the food has always been way above par. The atmosphere on my latest visit seems to have changed from what it has been in the past. It used to be a casual, yet still upscale setting. On our latest visit there were parties in beach garb, which seemed too casual for the ambiance. Not sure if this was an isolated incident or a trend. I would definitely recommend it for a great dinner, but not sure if it is the place if you are looking for an intimate dinner.
My wife and I celibrated our 43rd anniversary with another couple at 30A . The food was terrific ,and the service was impecabble . We have always had consistently good food and service at 30A . I would highly recommend this place to anyone .
Our dinner on Oct 4 2013 was outstanding. We always make a point to eat here during a stay on 30A - it is always, always exceptional and by far our favorite restaurant in the area. The service is always terrific, and the food fresh and delicious. We always recommend it to friends visiting the area. This evening was just perfect!
The food is wonderful and diverse. Not overly priced for a fine dinner, but the two for one makes it a deal.
The service and the food were top notch! The trout was excellent as were the desserts.
We had dinner there twice during our week at the beach. Given the abundance of dining options, eating there twice should speak volumes about our feelings. Great food, good value, a tad on the busy side, but the 2 for 1 entrees would explain that. Highly recommend.
Food and wine were exceptional. Service was outstanding. Very nice experience. We will return to this restaurant.
My husband and I discovered Cafe 30A several years ago when we were vacationing without the kids. We enjoyed it so much that we ate there every night of our stay. Last year when the entire family vacationed together, we brought the kids, and they loved it! Needless to say, dining at Cafe 30A again this year was a must, and I daresay it will be every year we're able to vacation in the 30A area!
What a memorable evening at lovely Cafe Thirty A! The waiter was very attentive and kind. The food was, without a doubt, delicious.
We have dined at Cafe 30-A on several occasions and and have never had a bad meal. The food is always excellent and teh service enjoyable. I strongly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a fin dining experience.
Enter Cafe30A and you enter spacious well laid out restaurant that reminds you of a past time brought into today. The space layout is such that while other dinners are nearby they do not impose on your space. The wine choices are extensive and in cludes half bottles of note perfect for two. Food is American in style. Wait staff is in formative and attentive. They do have a 5pm to 6pm special where you can select two entrees from the menu for the price of the highest priced. A hybrid 2 for 1. The experience here was the dining highlight of our week in the area.
A table for five with two vegans and two pescatarians (vegetarian + seafood). The waiter and chef bent over backwards to prepare beautiful vegan dishes and the seafood was extraordinary for the rest of us. A NICE restaurant, and a bit of a departure from the noisy, rowdy places we had been enjoying all week. Great change of scene for a fine dining experience complete with valet parking. We were there the week before with grandchildren (age 4 and 6) and they were handled perfectly as well. Love the declaration that "well-behaved children are welcome". Loved it.
Cafe' 30A already carries an excellent reputation but I personally experienced it on my recent anniversary. The food was outstanding and the portions were perfectly sized. Great dining experience and I would not recommend this as a dining option for children.
After vacationing in Seagrove for many years we finally dined at Café 30A for our 45th anniversary. It was an exceptional dining experience with fabulous service. All specials are printed and the wait time was very short for the delicious meal to arrive! We were very pleased and plan to make a visit to Café 30A an annual visit!
we've been wanting to go to Cafe 30a for years and finally made it.it was great from start to finish. Ryan was our server and he did a fantastic job.the service was excellent and you can tell the staff is well trained and the restaurant is well managed. we started with martinis. I had the Hendrix gin martini which was a tasty surprise mixed with elderberry liqueur. We had the crabcake appetizer which was one of the best we've ever eaten in the area. We shared the beet salad, delicious. My husband had the grouper Entree and I had the lobster in paradise entree which was rich and creamy and fabulous. We finished with the bread pudding dessert. We will definitely be back!
Love every thing about Cafe 30A! A must each beach visit!
We had a great meal here, and took advantage of the 2 for 1 entree offer between 5 and 6pm. The service was outstanding. We had lump crab cakes for starters which were full of crab meant and delicious. We had snapper and grouper for mains which were stunningly coked and flavored. We would definitely return to this restaurant.
Thus Restaurant is always good. Never had a bad meal. It's expensive but we'll worth it for a great night out. I recommend everything !
Joe was attentive and provided excellent recommendations from the menu. He made sure we had everything we needed and kept checking back to see if iur entrees were satisfactory. He is a keeper!
We visit this restaurant multiple times every time we're in the area on vacation. It never disappoints and we can't wait to go back. Everything is wonderful food, service, drinks...........
This was our second trip to Cafe 30-A and it was once again a great dining experience. The food and the wine were both excellent and could not have been better! Our group of six are all very "food savy" and there was nothing about our meal that could have been improved upon. We are from the great state of Louisiana and our abundance of great seafood makes us sometimes hard to please, but Cafe 30-A did not failed in that regard. The Crab Cake Entree is one of the best we have ever had, and that is not an exaggeration. The wine list is very nice and finding a great pairing for our dinner was not a problem. The waitstaff was also very attentive and it made the overall dining experience memorable.
Fabulous ! Doesn't get much better. Always always consistent.will be back for 4th visit.
Love the food, love the environment, and love the people
We went to Café Thirty-A after a long day at the Seaside Wine Festival and wanted a romantic wind down dinner and that is exactly what we got. We told our unbelievable wait staff host, Okeye, that we did not want to have a lot of wine, as we had been drinking wine most of the day and we had a long drive ahead of us in the morning, so he suggested have splits of wine and he suggested splits of wine from the excellent split wine list. The wine list was also very good. The food was top notch as I eat out 2-3 nights a week in my job, and I would recommend Café Thirty-A to anyone who wants to feel welcomed, have a great dining experience, drink great wine and have a good time too. We will be going back on our next visit to the Destin area.
Food and service was great. I did not want the snapper prepared as presented on the menu and the chef handled my request with no fuss and no problem.
Took my boyfriend there for our 3 year anniversary and it was spectacular. Service was great and food was even better! Definitely a new favorite spot!
Always wonderful to go back to a place you've loved in the past and have it be just as great as you remember!
We had a party of 10. The food & service was excellent. Our favorites were the filet, scallops, & mussels. The wines were outstanding as well!
This dinner was a special wine event. Cafe 30a does these several times a year & they are excellent
My husband and I lucked out on our timing of being in the area during one of the restaurants featured dinners. The menu was mouth watering and wine list completely new to us, we couldn't wait to get there. From the moment we arrived, everything was simply wonderful. The reception was warm, service smooth and unobtrusive, food was spectacular and not over-the-top like many special tasting menus can be these days. We were given a brief but informing wine tutorial for each course, leaving room to study these new found wineries. It was delightful and we cannot wait to go back.
We enjoy the excellent food here and you cannot beat the 2 for 1 early dining. One of our top restaurants in the area.
We return again and again. It never disappoints. Crab cake appetizer is perfectly done. I dream about the creamy quail and grits. the Snapper was perfectly seasoned and tender. Not cheap, but worth the price.
Took my wife there for her birthday. I had never been there before. We are into wine and goumet dining. This place will not disapoint. The wine list was great the food was excellent and the portions were abnormaly large for fine dining. Awesome experience and would highly recommend this place.
We always make Cafe 30A our first dinner when we come to Seaside and it never disappoints. From the friendly service to drinks and appetizers to the absolutely great food, it is a treat from beginning to end. See you next time!
The food, once again, was spectacular and the highlight of our trip to Seaside. This is a real gem and it never disappoints. Just fantastic.
Cafe 30A is always great. This is where we take friends and family when they visit.
We went to Café Thirty-A in the off season and it was still quite busy. Staff were excellent. Food was very good and likely better when local ingredients would be more readily available. Overall a very nice experience.

Muscogee Man Held on Terrorist Threat Charge for Attempted Prayer at Hickory Ground
When Andrew Jackson's illegal and heavily censured actions during the First Seminole War in 1817 were used two years ago to support a controversial provision in the National Defense Authorization Act that allows the indefinite detention without charge or trial of anyone suspected of "terrorism," Native Americans were alarmed that the federal government could use the legislation against them for asserting their right to self-determination, sovereignty and the protection of their lands and resources against exploitation by governments or corporations. They never imagined that a tribal government would do the same.
But now Wayland Gray, a Muscogee (Creek) Nation citizen, has been arrested by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians at the Muscogee sacred site at Hickory Ground in Wetumpka, Alabama, which is currently owned by the Poarch Band, and charged with an alleged "terrorist theat." The Poarch authorities have not revealed the details of the charges.
Gray was arrested on Friday, February 15, along with Mike Harjo and Michael Deo, also Muscogee Creeks from Oklahoma, and a man who identified himself as a Cherokee Indian named Maggot, according to Native News Network. They were arrested for attempting for the second day to go to the Hickory Ground burial site and pray for the Muscogee Creek ancestors who are buried there. Gray, Harjo and Deo are members of the Hickory Ground Tribal Town; Maggot is a member of the Alabama American Indian Movement, according to Native News Network. The attempted prayer ceremony is part of a large movement of opposition against the Poarch Band's excavation of at least 57 sets of human remains and construction of a casino on the sacred site.
The four men were arrested for trespassing, handcuffed and taken to the Elmore County Jail in Wetumpka, Alabama. Harjo, Deo and Maggot were soon released on bonds of around $450 each, according to Muscogee Nation attorney Brendan Ludwick. Gray was given the additional "terrorist threat" charge, assigned a $30,000 cash bail, and kept in jail, Ludwick said.
In an exclusive phone interview with Indian Country Today Media Network from the Elmore County Jail, Gray said the Poarch Band has trumped up the terrorist charge against him. "We went to our graveyard to honor our ancestors and we were arrested and they put a bogus charge on me," Gray said. "When I was getting into the [police] car I told them that one day we will be back and we'll be able to honor our ancestors when this place [the casino] is torn down."
Gray said his comment about the casino being "torn down" referred to a federal lawsuit filed by the Muscogee Nation against the Poarch Band last December. The lawsuit asks the court for a preliminary and permanent injunction to stop the casino construction from going forward, citing the removal of the 57 sets of ancestral remains as a violation of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and other federal laws. The lawsuit also asks the court for a declaration of Muscogee rights to Hickory Ground under the laws of the United States.
Gray said the Poarch officials twisted what he said about the casino being torn down. "They tried to say that I said I would burn it down. Why would I say that when I'm sitting out there on video?" Gray asked. The Poarch Band made a video of the arrest, but hasn't released it, Gray said. "I challenge the Poarch Band to release that video but they haven't because it would prove that's not what I said. I doubt they'll release it because they don't work that way." One of the Elmore County Jail police and the sheriff are Poarch Band members, Gray said.
Gray said—and Deo confirmed on a Save Hickory Ground Facebook post—that the four men were not read their Miranda rights.
"I wasn't read my rights, never at any time," Gray said. "When I got into the car I asked what I was being charged with and they said trespassing and when I got to jail, two hours later the Poarch Band cops came walking in and told me I was being charged with a terrorist threat."
The "terrorist threat" charge is a felony. "This is a very serious charge," Ludwick said. "But publicly, they're not saying what he said, they're just saying he made a threat, but we're sure he never said anything about burning down the place and the other guys who were there confirmed that."
Ludwick noted that Monday is a holiday and by arresting Gray on a Friday Poarch could "pretty much assure he'd be in there for a three-day weekend. The Poarch Band is very influential in Wetumpka, Ludwick said.
"They have control over the law enforcement and the local judiciary. This is a small town and almost the whole town is on the Poarch payroll." Ludwick said the terrorist charge is a violation of Gray's First Amendment right of free speech and an attempt to silence him, because he has led the opposition to the desecration of Hickory Ground. "He's like a political prisoner," Ludwick said.
Poarch spokeswoman Sharon Delmar did not respond to an email asking for details about Gray's alleged "terrorist threat" and whether Poarch intends to release the video. According to Native News Network, the Poarch Band of Creek Indians issued a statement late Friday, saying, "The individuals were advised to leave. These individuals made threatening comments and were repeatedly warned that they were trespassing and facing imminent arrest. These individuals continued to challenge tribal police and were arrested." Neither Muscogee Nation Chief George Tiger nor Poarch Tribal Chairman Buford L. Rolin could be reached for comment on Sunday.
Hickory Ground is a historic Muscogee (Creek) Nation Tribal Town that includes a ceremonial ground, a tribal burial ground and individual graves. It was the Muscogee Nation Creeks' last capitol before the tribe was ethnically cleansed and removed to Oklahoma on the Trial of Tears following Andrew Jackson's 1830 Indian Removal Act. The Poarch remained in Alabama and cooperated with the Americans.
The Poarch Band's traditional home territory is in the area of Atmore, Alabama, more than 135 miles southwest of Wetumpka. Poach acquired the traditional Muscogee Hickory Ground site almost by fluke. Although the Poarch Band was not federally acknowledged until 1984, the Alabama Historical Commission received a $165,000 grant from the Interior Department in 1980 to purchase Hickory Ground then transferred it to the Poarch Band. The Muscogee Nation did not object to the transfer at the time because Poarch promised to prevent development. Poarch acknowledged at the time that Hickory Ground is the ancestral home of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and claimed that "they will be pleased to know their home in Alabama is being preserved… The Hickory Ground site will continue to enhance their understanding of their history, without excavation." But shortly after the Interior Department took Hickory Ground into trust in 1984, the Poarch Band unveiled plans to develop a gaming facility there. The Muscogee Nation has been fighting the desecration of their sacred site ever since.
Gray thinks he was targeted for arrest "because of my stance against the desecration. I don't want to say because of my leadership because my leader is my chief [Muscogee Mekko George Thompson, who has served as a traditional Chief of the Oce Vpofa Muscogee Creeks in Oklahoma for 42 years], but I've probably said more than a lot of people."
Opposition to the Poarch casino on Hickory Ground is considerable. Last October, the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes voted unanimously on a resolution supporting the efforts "of the lineal descendants of Ocevpofv (Hickory Ground) Ceremonial Ground/Tribal Town to halt the desecration and all future desecrations of Ocevpofv located in Wetumpka, Alabama, as should be afforded protection under Federal Laws." The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes represents the united tribal governments of the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), and Seminole Nations and more than 750,000 blood descendants of aboriginal peoples from the southeastern United States. The sharply-worded resolution says the Poarch Band has excavated more than 60 human remains and associated funerary objects, including the remains of seven Mekkos (Chiefs) that were buried in the arbors of the original ceremonial ground.
The arrests of Gray and the other men have provoked a fierce outcry on the Facebook pages Save Hickory Ground and Hickory Ground War. JoKay Dowell, of Quapaw, Cherokee, Peoria, Eastern Shawnee and Irish descent, posted the following on the Poarch page: "Your group's federal recognition was a sad day for American Indians. Your behavior of playing Indian (yes I've seen your powwows atop a mound) is repulsive. Having the DNA of the original peoples of this land is not enough to call yourselves one of 'The People.' Through the Bible and Christianity, you have been so far-removed from what it means to be Indigenous: Respect for your ancestors and ancestral life ways, instruction from the Creator on how to live, respect for the way you walk in this world, love for your one true mother whose name in English in EARTH. . . You have been respectfully requested to do the right thing by the 'real' TRADITIONAL Muscogee culture-bearers who know who they are—the real descendants OF THE ANCESTORS YOU HAVE DISRESPECTED...and you had them thrown in jail? You will suffer the consequences. Creator has a way of taking care of these things, ALL IN HIS TIME." The post was quickly removed, Dowell said.
Gray said he has no idea when he'll be released. He is confined in a cell with 20 other people and conditions are "not good," he said. But there are lessons to be learned from his arrest. "I think it's pretty sad that back in 1832 Andrew Jackson removed us from that land at gunpoint and here we are in 2013 and the tribe that calls itself our 'cousins' had me at gunpoint or taser point and arrested me for coming back on the land." He promised to return and continue the struggle against the desecration of Hickory Ground.
"The lesson to be learned, for one thing, is never surrender, never give up your sacred sites and your burials regardless if it means going to jail. We've got to stand up for our rights, Idle No More. It's a sad day in Indian country when a tribe does this to its own people for greed. When the Poarch got federal recognition, they pretty much just got a country club card. They lost their ways, they don't care about their culture or their traditions—they're just all about money."
On Sunday afternoon, Gray's supporters set up a "Free Wayland Gray" legal defense fund for him at Indiegogo.com.
In addition, Eli Grayson, an enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, has set up an online petition asking the Interior Department to terminate its relationship with the Poarch Band. "In 1984, the Poarch was granted federal recognition under false information which has directly harmed the interest of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and its citizens," the petition says. "The Poarch removed the remains of a Creek sacred burial place know as Hickory Ground and replaced them with an entertainment venue and casino instead [of] protecting the place from development as promised. The history that the Poarch provided to the federal government is in direct conflict with written history and the truth as to who they are. Their federal recognition is a fraud not only against the citizens of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation but also against the citizens of the state of Alabama. Their recognition was about monetary gain and not tribal traditions as [evidenced by] the blatant removal of Indian graves for casino developments."

Gee what happened to their
Gee what happened to their heritage? Their culture? Our Tribe believes that our ancestors are sacred and we are not to disturb their burial sites. This sounds insane, who is so money hungry that they will do this? I doubt they are even Native Americans. Natives would not do such a thing as this. Let those men out of jail and respect yourselves and your ancestors. Leave those graves alone!!
I find some of the comments
I find some of the comments about the establishment in the Crack House includes me. I'm one of those "white" boys that would and will stand with the Creek Nation to the end. To desecrate any grave is horrific, but to do so on the Creek sacred Ground is a crime. They indicated years ago they would "preserve" this ground, now they want to build a casino ? Fine, do it somewhere else, if they complete it, boycott it America, then it will be "Torn" Down as the young warrior indicated. Show the video, if he indicated "torn" down, my my, lawsuit big time. You will own the ground yourself Warrior.
Will it never end?? Indians
Will it never end?? Indians have become as greedy as the white men. You will not prosper at the casino or anything else if you do not honor the bones and ashes of the ancestors. This is our way. Remember who we are and what we stand for. Don't be swayed by greed. Allow Gray to go. You each go and honor your forefathers. Shame on you.

I was interviewed for a top
I was interviewed for a top post within Poarch and found interviewers comments very troubling, the focus seemed to be on the anglo mind set: greed. In light of current events, I am thankful that I was not selected or I, to, would be "forced" to choose profit/greed over culture! Local County officials ttried to shut these shanigans down but Poarch sought legal refuge under color of "sovereignty", which too many tribes are getting away with too many illegalities such as this incident!
That's just sickening

Please do not disturb the
Please do not disturb the final resting place of the dearly loved and departed. Please release the men and free them of all worldly charges for speaking about something so close to our hearts and minds and spirits - a final place where no one will disturb our descendants. I will never step into your casino should you not choose another location and encourage an international boycott of your business because the way the leaders are pursuing an enterprise is ideally located on a different piece of land somewhere away from the gravesites - like there is so much land so dont do your dirty work with the dead looks like you already are doing it with the living.

Noisy jelly is a game where the player has to cook and shape his own musical material, based on coloured jelly
The thinking behind the idea is to make an entertaining game from their favourite past times: music and food. The board itself is made up of a set of sensors that run on a set of software programs – but how the jellies produce noise is pure genius.
Science creating sound in jelly
The innovative game works when the different jellies are touched and manipulated triggering sensors on the board. The different sounds produced are created by the concentration levels of salt in the jellies, the shape of the moulds and the pressure of human touch. Food designer Cauvard believes the prototype can merge the electronic and tangible world.
"Noisy jelly is a game where the player has to cook and shape his own musical material, based on coloured jelly," Cauvard says. "With this noisy chemistry lab, the gamer will create his own jelly with water and a few grams of agar powder. After adding different colour, the mix is then poured into moulds. Ten minutes later, the jelly shape can then be placed on the game board and by touching the shape, the gamer will activate different sounds.
"Technically, the game board is a capacitive sensor and the variations of the shape and their salt concentration, the distance and the strength of the finger contact are detected and transform into an audio signal. This object aims to demonstrate that electronics can have a new aesthetic, and be envisaged as a malleable material, which has to be manipulated and experimented."
A unique interactive experience
The game is still in a prototype stage but could it be the 21st century's Playdoh? Take a look at the video below and make a decision for yourself. What we really want to know is, how quickly could it be made available to the public?

I've upgraded from UEStudio v22.214.171.1242 to v10 and I am experiencing long delays in certain parts of the application. The super long slow delays are so bad and annoying that I've had to drop back to v9.3 because it's not usable. Downgrading to v9.3 solves all these issues and so I suspect there is a bug in v10. I am using Windows Vista Home Edition 32bit with all the latest patches.
At first I tried investigating why this is happening and so I disabled my anti-virus first and then began killing every other non important process in my system. Then I ran Sysinternals Process Monitor while uestudio was opened.
The first thing I noticed while using the IDE is when I have a project opened and right click to download a file from ftp UEStudio's cpu usage climbs to around 50% and it takes about 30-60 seconds to even start to do it's thing, basically what I am saying is it takes 60 seconds to see the little FTP Command Progress dialog window pop up, at which point when it finally comes up the actual download of the file is fast as normal. This seems to occur with many dialogs, for example File > FTP/Telnet > FTP Account Manager takes the same 60 seconds to even appear. Similarly while the project is open and I try to just 'Add folder' on the project it takes 40-60 seconds just to bring up the dialog window.
While in Sysinternals process monitor I see it hammering %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UEStudio\UEStudio.INI over and over during this waiting period, and the process looks very odd indeed. I do have a rather large .ini file (940 KB) but then again I've never had these issues before and downgrading to 9.3 works just fine. I also opened a 200MB text file and it opened extremely slowly, normally this is lightning fast, and I could see in processmonitor that it was hitting the temp folder and file it created a ton of times. Finally when the file was open navigating the file was speedy.
I also noticed that I/O actions were extremely high, take a look at these numbers, not even Microsoft's indexing service used this much.
- Code: Select all
Process UEStudio.exe
Private Bytes 36,512 K
Working Set 61,144 K
Description UEStudio
Company Name IDM Computer Solutions, Inc.
I/O Reads 47,654
I/O Read Bytes 37,081,849,622
I/O Writes 58,876
I/O Write Bytes 3,885,927
I/O Other 1,701,665
I/O Other Bytes 14,060,562
That's after having it open for about 20 minutes doing various tests mentioned above. If I close and open the application and do the add folder test the 'I/O other' jumps up to about 1.3 million where as v9.3 has been open longer put through it's paces and is roughly around 459,000.
Here's a few of the lines procmon captured where it was hammering uestudio.ini over and over

I tried uninstalling and turning off UAC, rebooting and reinstalling and also I tried to make sure I had write access to the ini file and the APPDATA folder contents nothing seems to help. Is anyone else experiencing this slow I/O behavior? Is this a known bug?
Let me know if I can provide additional info to help. Thanks for your time.

But think about it. People have made Linux take on tasks no one probably thought it capable of.
1. The story mentioned above. A man installs Linux on 16 Playstation 3s (with zero hardware modifications), clusters them together, and creates a system to simulate black holes.
2. Installing Linux on a Mac. I was just reading the most recent Wired magazine that has a good story on how Apple has created a very closed system where only Apple software plays on Apple hardware. Hello Yellow Dog Linux! I have run Linux on an iBook - it was sweet.
3. Routers. We all know that Linux works well on routers. OpenWRT installs well on many Linksys routers.
4. For fish tanks. Yes you read it correctly. At one point I had a small Linux box set up to control the lighting and wave action on a reef tank. This was done with the old X10 remote system and bottle rocket software.
5. Linux on a watch. Yes, IBM did it back in 2000.
6. Linux on mobile devices. Back in 2000, I was the proud owner of one of the short-lived Agenda handheld devices that used Linux. Not only did this serve as a PDA, but I also managed to get a light-weight version of Apache installed and ran a small Web site from the device. And, hopefully, soon we'll see the Google Android platform!!!
7. Car navigation. In 2004 Sony introduced three Linux-based in-car navigation systems.
8. Home security. A small startup in Britain called AlertMe sells a Linux-based home monitoring system that allows you to monitor your home from any Web-enabled phone or Web browser.
9. NAS. There are plenty of companies using Linux on network attached storage devices.
10. Gaming platforms. Not just the PS3s as mentioned before. Linux has been sucessfully installed on: Gamecube, Gameboy, PS1, PS2, Sega Genesis, N64, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, Super Nintendo, Xbox.
11. Airplane black boxes. Montavista uses a Carrier Grade Linux to power in-flight recorders.
12. Brain surgery. Yep. This Linux-powered robot helps in brain surgery.
That's the short list.
My point is this. Linux is an incredibly flexible platform that can be stretched and tweaked to do nearly anything. From fish tanks to brain surgery, the list will only continue to grow.
And, of course, I know the one thing that everyone is going to chime in with "Linux can't play games." Well, that's not true, it just doesn't play all the "game aficionado games" without the help of Wine. But, yes, Linux does in fact play games.
So, what exactly can't Linux do? It's your turn. Go.

What software is available which can record my voice and warn me about problems with my pronunciation and tones?
Rossetta Stone has that feature standard. I've not used it, but I have friends who have with great success. Unless you get the tone correct, the software doesn't let you advance to the next word. It's pretty impressive. Don't know of any free options, though. | |||||||||
NTU has a very good one, and you can (I think) download it here: http://chinese.ntu.edu.tw/. It used to be free, but I don't know if they started changing. Also if you have Chinese friends you can ask them to correct your pronunciation. | |||||
Full-disclosure: I am the founder of Chinese Tutor. The feedback might not be 100% what you are looking for, but this does listen to your voice and give an indication of how well you pronounced each part of a word/phrase: (Note: Google Chrome required) | |||||
Your options for doing this:
| |||
You can try this drill. It's repetitive and boring but it covers all tone combinations. It builds muscle memory and helps train your ear. | |||
Qooco Chinese does something like this. See http://www.qoocochinese.com/web/OurTechnology.html Also with Praat this is possible but not easy as with Qooco Chinese. See http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ John on Sinosplice explains how to use Praat for Chinese: http://www.sinosplice.com/life/archives/2008/01/21/seeing-the-tones-of-mandarin-chinese-with-praat | ||||

The PRESIDENT announced the consideration of the minority report of the Committee on Federal Relations-identical with joint resolution [S 4] on pages 44 and 45 of these Reports.
Mr. RAY, in behalf of a minority who voted for the resolution sending commissioners to Washington, submitted their protest, which was ordered to be spread upon the journals, as follows:
Mr. President:
The undersigned, Democratic members of the Senate, having voted on Thursday last in favor of the joint resolutions authorizing the Governor to appoint five commissioners to attend the conference of States at Washington city on the 4th of February, proximo, and having voted under protest, respectfully submit the following reasons for their vote, and ask that the same be spread on the journals of the Senate.
We voted for the resolutions,notwithstanding the conditions and limitations imposed by them on the discretion and action of the commissioners, because we were deeply impressed, not only with our own responsibilities, but with the magnitude of the issues involved in the result of the proposed conference, and we hailed with pleasure any proposition coming from the Republican majority, which looked towards a peaceful solution of the grave controversies threatening our existence as a Nation.
But while it was our pleasure to support the resolutions appointing said commissioners, we respectfully protest against sending commissioners to said conference with all discretion withheld, and all power abrogated, by the resolutions of their appointment, as amounting to a mocking of the patriotic ends of the conference proposed by Virginia and Kentucky, as trifling with the solemn facts and portentous signs of a revolutionary hour.
We protest against the provision prohibiting the commissioners to act until nineteen States shall be represented in the conference, as evincing a purpose of preserving the politic forms of negotiation, while the powers to negotiate are withheld.
We protest, also, against the provision of said resolution requesting the postponement of said conference, because every day's delay weakens the bonds of Union, and forces into view new obstacles to the peace and tranquility of the country.
page: 164[View Page 164]We also protest, because the resolutions do not indicate any, but virtually deny all, means of settling our National controversies by other means than the sword.
And we especially protest against the Implied hostility contained in the resolution, to all measures of conciliation and compromise, as well as against the unfriendly and reluctant manner in which it has pleased the majority to respond to the fraternal invitations from Virginia and Kentucky, as manifesting a settled purpose to insure the failure of the conference.
On motion by Mr. BLAIR the consideration of the report was postponed till Thursday next at 10 o'clock.
Mr. Newcombs bill [S. 5-described on p. 13 of these reports]-being read the third time-
Mr. NEWCOMB said: Under the provision of the act of '52 there is a section which is construed into authority to assign by simple delivery notes and accounts. Under that practice the system has grown up of assigning, so that a party owning them could become a witness really in his own behalf, while the mouth of the defendant has been closed. This bill is to remedy that abuse-to give the defendant the same privilege, so both sides may be heard; and is not confined to any particular cause of action but to all causes.
The bill finally passed by yeas 34, nays 7.
Mr. Cravens's bill [S. 12see page 25] being read the third time-
Mr. CRAVEN said: This bill I presented at the instance of members of the bar and judges in my county. A difficulty seems to present itself with regard to the construction of the act of '52. That act does not indicate where the appraisers may be taken from; while this bill provides that the appraisers shall come from the county wherein the land is situate.
Mr. CLAYPOOL. I could not give my consent to this bill for the reason that if lands are lying in contiguous counties, one set of appraisers are as competent as would be a set in each county, as the bill provides, which would add on a large expense to estates, already over-burdened with taxation of costs. I know of no branch of law where the expenses are so little cared for as that of the settlement of decedent estates. I would suggest that the bill be modified, so as to read that in cases where the land is situated in one or more counties the court shall appoint, if necessary, &c.
Mr. CRAVENS. I can see no objection to the amendment.
The amendment was agreed to by consent, and the bill, as amended, finally passed by yeas 40, nays 0.
Mr. Claypool's bill [S. 19] being read the third time-
Mr. C. said: This bill provides for the taking of pheasants and qnails the same length of time as is provided in the present law only, it commences one month later in the fall continues one month later in the winter [from the first of November to the first of February. It also decreases the penalty one half]
Mr. CONLEY made an ineffectual motion to recommit with instructions to amend, so as to allow persons to kill on their own premises at any time.
The bill was finally passed by yeas 29 nays 10.
Mr. Line's bill [S. 24] being read the third time-
Mr. L. said: This bill simply requires the State Board of Agriculture to hold their yearly meeting on the "Tuesday" instead of the "Thursday" after the first Monday in January It was under instructions from my own Agricultural Society that I introduced the bill.
The bill was finally passed by yeas 39' nays 0.
On motion by Mr. TARKINGTON the bill [H. R. 104-see page 111 and 117, laid on the table last Monday]was taken up and read.
Mr. ANTHONY made an ineffectual motion-yeas 15, nays 22-to lay on the table the pending motion to recommit with instructions to strike out the words " sinking fund " and " seven per cent." wherever it occurs, and insert the words "Bank of the State of Indiana" and "six per cent."
The motion to recommit was then agreed to.
Was obtained for Mr. DeHart during the week.
Mr. Turner's bill [S. 29-see page 45] being read the third time-
Mr. T. said : The only change made in the present law is the addition of imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding twelve months. In a great many instances those who are most frequently guilty you cannot collect a fine from, and the only mode of correcting such would be by imprisonment.
Mr. SHIELDS. I hope the bill will pass. It is certainly very much needed. Mr. S. recited a case to the point, of recent occurrence.
The bill was finally passed by yeas 38, nays 2.
Mr, Claypool's bill [S. 40-see page 46] being read the third time-
Mr. MILLER. I move to recommit that bill with the following instructions: "Amend so as to include the St. Joseph river in the proviso in the first section."
Mr. LINE. I find myself peculiarly situated with regard to this bill. There was sent up to me a petition, numbering some 200 page: 165[View Page 165] names, asking for a similar law. I have received no remonstrance, but I have received a note from some of my constituents, saying it would be doing them a wrong in consequence of the interest some of them have in seines and other fishing tackle. I believe it would be placing me right to ask a recommittal with additional instructions to admit to fish with seines from the first of September to the first of March.
Mr. ODELL. I move the following additional instructions, "except the Tippecanoe river."
Mr. CARNAHAN. I move that the bill and pending instructions be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. MARCH. I am not prepared to vote for the bill as it is. If there was some provision put in the kill by which they could be taken at certain periods, so as not to destroy the fish altogether, I would vote for it.
Mr. LINE (interrupting.) My proposition is to limit the time from the first of September to the first of March.
Mr. MARCH. I could vote for that.
Mr. TEEGARDEN. I am decidedly opposed to the bill in every shape and form.
Mr. CLAYPOOL. I have no particular interest in this bill, but it won't do for the gentleman from Franklin to back down from it, for he is instructed by a petition as long as the moral law. In obedience to instructions from my constituents I drafted this bill, which is verbatim, except the provisos, with the law of Ohio. It is time for the State of Indiana to protect not only her game, but her fish. I hope Senators will not legislate against the interests of any portion of the State, but look at this matter in its proper light.
Mr. BLAIR. I would be glad to vote for the bill if amended in some few particulars. I move to lay the motion to postpone on the table.
The motion was agreed to by yeas 20, nays 13.
Motions to recommit, with instructions to amend, were made, as follows:
By Mr. WOLFE: Except the streams in or bordering on Harrison or Washington counties.
By Mr. LANDERS: Except White River and White Lick.
By Mr. TURNER: Except Lake Michigan and the Kankakee and Calumet rivers.
By Mr. COBB: Except White river, Salt creek, Indian creek, Leatherwood, and Spider creeks, in Lawrence county.
By Mr. LOMAX: Leave out Orange and Crawford counties.
[Mr. LINE made an ineffectual demand for the previous question.]
By Mr. CONLEY: To permit the people of Greene and Owen counties to seine or fish in any stream in either of said counties.
By Mr. BEARSS: Except Eel river.
By Mr. FERGUSON: It is held not to be lawful for any persod to catch fish from any streams in this State, when said fish refuse to bite. [Laughter.]
By Mr. RAY: Except Play river, Flat Rock, Sugar creek and Brandywine, in Shelby and Hanoock counties.
By Mr. SHOULDERS: Strike out Dubois, Pika and Gibson counties.
By Mr. HALL: Except White river, Sugar creek and salt lick, in Randolph county.
Mr. MURRAY made an ineffectual motion-yeas 18, nays 21-to lay these instructions on the table.
Mr. MARCH. I believe there is a majority of this body in favor of some legislation on this subject, and I trust we will not make ourselves ridiculous in endeavoring to load this bill down with instructions. These amendments, I suppose, every one of them to be out of order, for the reason that they propose local legislation.
Mr. WOLFE. I am free to say I am opposed to this bill in any shape or form that gentleman can get it up. I believe that fish and wild fowls are the property of the first takers, and I am opposed to limiting the right; I think it wrong and arbitrary.
Mr. MILLER. I don't care anything about fishing; but we have a dam at South Bend, across the St. Joseph river, which cost $40,000, another at Mishawaka, which cost $35,000, and numerous dams across the streams all over the country there. I thought the first instructions I proposed would meet that objection, but believing now it does not, I offer the following additional instructions: " That the provisions of this bill shall not affect dams for water power already erected or heretofore to be erected."
Mr. RAY. I object to the bill may-be, because I have no taste for fishing. It is an inalienable right to fish it is said, and where there is a right there ought to be a remedy, yet gentlemen propose to cut off our remedy.
Mr. MURRAY (interrupting.) I would ask the gentleman if he believes all men have that right?
Mr. RAY. Except niggers. [Laughter.] If the bill has any application to streams, big or little, in Shelby or Hancock counties, I propose to vote against it.
Mr. CLAYPOOL. The provisions of that bill are intended to cover all the small streams in the State. Science is developing the fact and intelligence is making it known that there is not a bird that floats upon the atmosphere but what is for some great and good purpose. No gentleman can tell me whether the destruction of fowls has not brought about the potato rot.
Mr. RAY (interrupting.) I can answer if the gentleman can answer me whether the potato rot has produced the destruction of the fowls.
Mr. CLAYPOOL. I cannot answer. I should like to see the bill recommitted with the proper instructions; I care not what they may be.
[The President laid before the Senate a communication from the Superintendent of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, inviting Members to an exhibition of pupils under his care; in compliance with a House resolution, at Masonic Hall next Friday evening.]
The Senate then adjourned.

Yul Kwon, host of Link TV's LinkAsia, recently did a Red Chair Interview with CNN, in which he shares some key experiences in his life. Along with his on-air interview, Yul ellaborates further in an eloquently written essay posted on the CNN blogs about his Korean background, explaining how he turned to a career in television to overcome social stereotyping of Asian-Americans in the media and come to terms with his own cultural identity. Both video and essay can be seen here. Below is a moving excerpt from his essay:
"My parents immigrated to the United States from South Korea in 1970 with big dreams, but little money. Since they couldn't afford to put my brother and me in daycare or preschool, they encouraged us to watch television as a way to learn English. Every morning, my brother and I watched "Sesame Street" on PBS, which taught us how to count and recite the alphabet. Not only did our TV become another caregiver, it became the primary medium through which I learned about the world. It allowed me to see and experience things I'd never seen before. It helped me imagine a better future for me and my family. I studied hard and eventually made my way to Stanford University and then Yale Law School. For a poor kid like me, television helped provide the inspiration and vision I needed to realize the American dream.
But as much as television was a source of empowerment and inspiration, it was also a powerful source of constraint. Television defined the way I saw myself and my relationships with other people, and I didn't see a lot of people who looked like me. Asian-American characters were few and far between, and for lack of better alternatives, my favorite childhood hero was Big Bird. He wasn't real, of course, but I didn't care. He was nice, had lots of friends and was yellow -- and hence, clearly, Asian..."

About Yul Kwon
Yul Kwon is the host of Link TV's original Asian news program LinkAsia. Yul has had a diverse career spanning law, business, technology, and media. Although his multifaceted professional experience spans almost two decades, his rise to international acclaim began in 2006, when he became the first Asian American to win the CBS reality show, Survivor.
Prior to his Survivor victory, Yul held positions at both Google and McKinsey & Company. As an attorney, he clerked on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, practiced law at Venture Law Group and Wiltshire & Grannis, worked as a legislative aide in the US Senate, and most recently served as Deputy Chief of the FCC's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau.

Happy Saturday!
I've recently finished an illustrated (comic) version of the feminist skit "I Am What I Am", written in 1970 by Lorna Cherot. It is a dramatic sketch about a black woman trying to participate in a white feminist gathering, and the racism that ensues. I'm asking a $1 donation for a copy, since I didn't write the skit. You can order one from: Heather Wreckage/3913 Boyle Ct./Sacramento, CA 95817

I am now taking pre orders for my very first zine- Under The Influence!
For this first issue, I asked people to write an essay on their favourite musician and band. It was an extremely simple idea, however I wanted people to discuss the love of their band/musician in a personal way and it produced some amazing stories!
I am so excited to finally have my very first zine just 24 hours away from being printed!
Hello, friends! I've finished a new zine. It's about my trips to Australia and Southeast Asia, and about getting older and trying not to feel like a weirdo. My copy connection ran out (and by that I mean I got busted scamming copies at Staples) so I'm taking pre-orders to help pay for printing it. You can pre-order it, as well as read excerpts from it and my other zines, here.
Also, anyone who donates $100 or more will receive a cd with the audio version -- me reading the entire zine in the voice I use when I talk to small dogs.
Flamdoodle number one is ready to go. It is 26 pages of stories about horrible people at yard sales and a dick mug...not to mention other fun stuff. Just let me know if you'd like to get one or trade.
Now available for download! For the first time anywhere- the complete archive of all 5 issues (92 pages) of the Iowa City punk/industrial/art zine published in the early 80's. Set your own price for the download, (proceeds go to keeping OBSOLETE! alive...) or enter the secret code word in the "discount" box at checkout for a FREE download.
