Scarlet Tea Room & Fine Dining
Online Reservations
Great ambiance with live music, very nice servers and well designed aesthetic to food
This is my third time going to the Scarlet Tea Room and it has been a great experience. The service and the food are just excellent. Highly recommended!
Wow, what a beautiful and delicious experience! Totally exceeded my expectatiaons in ambiance, tea and tea sandwich selections, taste and overall experience.
Staff was friendly, nice spot for a quick bite to eat
this place is perfect for a Mothers day gift but I have also taken clients there as a closing gift and they truly appreciate it..very nice experience that everyone must try!
The food was great, especially the green bean soup and pastrami sandwich. I was very impressed with the exceptional customer service, they made sure we enjoyed our afternoon tea experience. Even the customers were very friendly and suggested some of the items off the menu. And the noise level is at a minimum so you are able to have a conversation without having to raise your voice. Overall excellent experience would definitely return.
We went for Mother's Day. The service was perfect! There was a pianist. It was lovely all around. We may make it a Mother's Day tradition.
Lovely spot for lunch or tea. My only critique would be that my server seemed a bit overwhelmed with her table load which threw off the pace of our service. Her personality was however delightful which helped. Also the tea could have been hotter - I'd consider tea cozies at the table or some kind of temperature regulator in the kitchen so it arrives hot enough in the beginning. Over all though, the quality of the food made up for any hiccups in service. I have tea in every city I visit and this level of quality competes with some of the 5-star hotels' tea service. Great job!
I took my mom and grandma out for afternoon tea, and it was a definitely special. The service was great and the food was great and we felt like ladies at leisure. A little on the pricey side, but that's expected of a fine tea experience. We will definitely come again.
First time at Scarlet Tea Room and nice experience. Marcus, our server was very friendly and the hostess was very dramatic (in a good way) and fun as well. The teas and tea sandwiches were tasty. The chicken curry was my favorite.
My mom and I enjoyed the lovely music and delicious food as we celebrated a special occasion. I would recommend this and return there with a friend.
Lovely restaurant. Great to have a place like this to bring young girls in for "tea training - etiquette, poise, tradition." Price is good. Service we received was superb. Can't remember our wonderful server's name but she absolutely made our first visit at the Scarlet Tea Room a very fun and pleasant experience. She was just beautiful to be around and has the perfect attitude for this type of establishment. I invited my wedding attendants to this Tea to talk about my wedding. The piano music background and classic recorded songs including my favorite French songs made my day. I loved it!!
I love this place! It's elegant but relaxed. The food is awesome. Good wine and drinks as well. The service is personable and attentive - and on Friday and Saturday they have lovely Jazz - excellent musicians at just the right volume.
Loved Kathy, she was the best waitress I have had in a long time..And very knowledgeable of the menu.
great for tea and sweets. I loved the curry chicken sandwich
This place not only looks beautiful, the staff who runs it is professional and quite nice. This is my ultimate favorite tea house, because you can choose all of your petit sandwiches. My favorite however, must be their scones. They are scrumptious! A bit pricy, but worth it. If you want to feel pampered, this place is it!
This was our first visit to The Scarlet Tea Room, and we really enjoyed the experience! My wife had the tea service, which included everything from champagne to start, and Strawberries Romanoff to end. The lamb dinner was excellent, and the prosciutto wrapped dates to start were a big hit too! We also enjoyed the lovely piano & violin music to accompany the meal, and made the overall experience truly enjoyable from start to finish. Would definitely recommend a visit, there is something for everyone here.
I had read many bad reviews of this place ,so I wasn't expecting to have a positive experience. I booked an early reservation time(11:45), and arrived on time. I had no problems there. I was there early, so the food was fresh. No problems there either. It was early, so the place was fairly empty still before the lunch crowd, so although there was only one waiter, this also wasn't a problem. He did an excellent job attending to my daughter and me. The only part that seemed to take a while was getting our check, but overall, we had a really nice time. This place is definitely pricey, and you are paying more for the experience and not so much for the food, so don't expect a lot of it. These are small, dainty, tasty portions.
Scarlet's Tea Room is great for a special occasion!! Loved the huge crystal chandalier with the red crystals at the entrance. The service and friendliness was excellent. The food was of high quality. I felt it was very pricey for the very petite portions they serve. I did leave hungry, but enjoyed the experience.
The food is unbelievably good. Every bite was delicious. The mint white chocolate scone was the best sweet treat I have EVER had. Beautifully decorated and table settings charming.
The chef has just introduced the dinner menu, and was very excited to share with his customers -- don't miss his grandmother's tomato creme soup (wow!). the musicians (piano and violin) were perfect! We'll definitely be back.
We had a great time. We were there late in the evening so they were not able to provide their full menu but their service more than made up for it. Only complaint is that they had a live band (mellow stuff) that was too loud. Felt that the space was too small for that and it was a bit too much.
The food was very good, and obviously made with fresh ingredients. However, it is quite pricey for such a small amount of food. Definitely a nice place for a date or special occasion. Service was a little slow, but then again, the place is ideal for having nice long chats and catch up sessions. The scones were the best I've ever had!
This is the second time I've been to the Scarlet Tea Room for tea. The ambiance is elegant without being stuffy, the food delicious and the tea is just right. The only problem we had with this visit was the service at the end of the meal. It took us about a half an hour to flag a server down to ask for the check, then we had to ask again after 10 more minutes, then it took an additional 10 minutes for our server to pickup our payment. While we appreciated the time to chat it was rather annoying to wait so long to pay our bill.
I ordered the 5 course meal and at first felt that I would still be hungry but I was wrong. I was perfectly satisfied. What I do wish is that there were more of a balance with savory items and sweet. Maybe 5 sandwiches instead of 4, or savory scones along with sweet scones. Otherwise the food was scrumptious and it was hard to pick just 4 sandwiches. The lemon curd and cream were not to sweet and not too tart, just the way I like it. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon catching up with friends.
There is a light red film on the door of the Scarlet Tea room and as soon as you pass it, all the noise and bustle of Pasadena falls away and you're in a stunning room, full of nicely dressed people and the only sounds you hear are murmurs and the clink of silverware against china. The interior is a elegant blend of old and new - so the room looks fresh, not stuffy. Some of the tables are right against the front door and I would avoid these tables if you can otherwise you will have people brushing against you for your entire tea. The staff couldn't be more polite however, they are understaffed. And, it was disappointing the scones were not warm which is sad as they usually are at tea rooms - but they were still good.
The best scones I've ever had! So-o-o light with a great texture.
Food was great, service was great! Used living social voucher and still received great service!
This was a great experience. From the outside it doesn't look like much; but the interior is very cute. The service was amazing also. And really tasty scones :)
I have just started visiting all the tea rooms in Southern California and really enjoyed the Scarlett Tea Room. They had a great selection of sandwiches to choose from. The scones were delicious ( a little more lemon curd and raspberry jam would've been nice). Also enjoyed the fruit and the ice tea. I was more than satisfied with the 3 course lunch.
Loved the experience. A bit pricy but I had a Living Social deal so we got a pretty decent meal for the price. Excellent service. I will return with a girlfriend next time.
We love the humor, graciousness, & knowledge of the attentive wait staff - large election of teas, hot or iced for summer. Yummy scones.
Greeted at the door with friendly and knowledgeable hostess. Rebekah, owner, waited on us... was very gracious and attentive. Broad list of tea to choose from, again Rebekah is knowledgeable about the tea she offers on list. Choices of sandwiches was a foodie's paradise: gorganzola & pear, brie and toasted walnuts, olive tapanade and roasted red pepper, cranberry and turkey... more variety than typical tea menus. Scone was fresh and hot out of oven. Linens and china were lovely. Very clean, too. Would go again...glad I had a 1/2 social coupon to discover Scarlett Tea Room!
The Scarlet Tea Room was a quaint place, brings you back in time with elegance and grace. The food was beyond delicious, but please note you will be hungry shortly after your visit. The teas were extremely fragrant and substantially top grade. I can't wait to visit again, hopefully with a small group, but not when there are groups of 4 or more, as the noise level was extreme with a Bridal Shower and a Baby Shower going all at the same time.
I brought my sister here for a surprise celebration for her new job and she LOVED it!! The 3 course tea service was more than enough and she enjoyed enjoy course! Marcus, our server was amazing!! He remembered to congratulate her on her job and even remembered where. Scones with lemon curd...yummy, curried chicken, egg salad and walnut pesto chicken...YUMMY!! Will be back again!!
wonderful place to sit and relax. I have been to Scarlet Tea Room many times and i leave with a smile on my face every time because I truly enjoy the experience. never felt rushed. like a spa treatment, for foodies.
I love the Scarlet Tea Room! I have been there several times. Some time had passed since my last visit so I was really looking forward to an afternoon tea with a friend. The Scarlet Tea Room delivered as usual! The food was great, the presentation beautiful, the service top notch! Can't wait to go back!
We took my mom out to tea for her 75th Birthday. The Scarlet Tea Room was lovely, the food was delicious and our server kindly asked the piano player to play, "Happy Birthday" for my mom. The scones were delicious and since it was 105 degrees outside we had a lovely blueberry tea. We all enjoyed our experience and will be back!
Great place for a special celebration. Food is delicious and beautifully presented. Tea room is comfortable and quiet. Servers are attentive and friendly.
This would not be a once a week trip but we will come again and enjoy touring Pasadena. The atmosphere was great, it was loud due to a couple large groups but we were tucked away in a corner. I had emailed ahead of time mentioning it was my mom's 87th birthday and did you do something special for birthdays and never got a response. Our waiter Matt, I think it was, was fantastic. He was new but so kind and very attentive. He did amazing. We liked the selection of sandwiches and there was plenty of food. It was a little pricey for only a 3 course meal but other than that it was great. The hostesses were not that friendly or inviting as the place was very busy.
I would highly recommend this restaurant for women for lunch. Even my husband enjoyed lunch here.
Even with a last minute reservation we were able to be accommodated which was a lovely surprise. A repeat visit for me but my friend was a "first timer." As always we were made to feel like we were regulars & received warmly on arrival. The ladies obviously love their facility & jobs & it shows throughout your whole visit. Very relaxed atmosphere, never feel as though they want you out to turn over the table for the next guest. Love, love, love the music selections (one of the things that keeps us coming back). The tea sandwiches show great imagination & are varied with meat combinations as well as fruit & cheese combos. The scones are light, not too sweet & the perfect size. The 5 course tea is perfect for an extended visit.
Surprise 2nd visit but a happy one. Very appreciative of low noise level so we could catch up on lost time. Everything was perfect for a lovely "girly" afternoon.
I really love the Scarlet tea room for special events. I brought my mother on another occasion to celebrate her birthday and she had a wonderful time. This time the only concern I had is they were rather slow with drinks. We had our food and ran dry on our tea and it took a bit of time to flag down our server. This was not the case when I'd been to visit other times, it's possible they were understaffed that day. Otherwise, the food was great, the service good with the exception of refilling our drinks. My friend and I did have a great time despite that. The food was delicious, the ambiance very good, and the people are wonderful.
This is a lovely place to spend a leisurely afternoon with friends.
The five-course tea ceremony was good. The environment is a little pretentious but the sandwiches and scones were delicious. Tea selection is small for a tea room. Service was a slow but maybe because it was a lazy Friday afternoon. All in all good food experience at a reasonable price.
This is the perfect place if you just want to relax and enjoy girls' outing in an elegant relaxing way. The tea is good and the whole atmosphere is just perfect for special occasions such as birthday, bridal shower, or baby shower. Service was very good and our waitress was nice enough to explain the flavors to different types of tea and sandwiches. Love love love.
Very good service. The live piano is a nice touch. Tea service is a bit pricey, but worth the splurge.
I had a Christmas tea with five of my friends and we loved it! The food was creative, high quality and delicious. Our server, Rebecca was charming and attentive. In fact, the whole staff could not have been more accommodating for our group. No question, that I will be back for lunch or tea, again.
Even though there are many tea rooms that we have yet to explore, this tea room is special. We chose the 5 Course Scarlett Tea. The scones are freshly made and still served with lemon curd. Each person gets to choose their own tea, and 4 kinds of sandwiches. My 4 picks were chicken tahini and pine nuts, olive walnut tapenade and roasted red pepper, green apples with kasseri and walnuts, and brie with walnuts and watercress. All delicious! Also included, scarlet sorbet with fresh mint, petit desserts, and a fresh berry romanoff. In addition, and charged separately, we had their almond champagne. Such a great compliment. The service was awesome and they didn't hurry us out. Lovely time with friends and the enjoyment of the Christmas season.

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at Costa Brava. It was exactly what I had pictured in my minds eye. The representative who assisted us through out our stay was prompt , thorough and very friendly. I like the location being approx. 1/2 on the corridor. Everything was clean, maid service and pool service was great. The beach is lovely to walk on. The hotel next door, Marbella Suites is a fantastic Mexican run, intimate hotel with great food and WONDERFUL service if you do not feel like cooking.I felt Costa Brava was very decent value and would stay again !Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

What an amazing week we just spent in Cabo! Villa Costa Brava exceeded all of our expectations and we couldn't have had a better week. The villa is located between San Jose and San Lucas and we really enjoyed not being around the hustle and bustle of San Lucas. We did rent a car for the week and it really made the trip for us. We were able to come and go as we please and do many different things on our own time. Back to the house, extremely clean and no issues with any pests or bugs of any kind. Very modern and updated inside, the best part was the king bed in the master suite, in fact my wife wants to buy the same bed when we get home! Pool and beach are both incredible, finally able to swim in the ocean the last day of our stay, was a little rough prior to that. I saw many complaints about the walk to the beach, but it is nothing to worry about, great cardio! If you want to swim in the ocean Chileno Bay is very close by and we swam and snorkeled twice during our stay. The grill is a very nice option for cooking as well, we did dinner at the house 4 nights and it allowed us to make hamburgers and chicken which is a nice change when you are tired of eating chips and salsa! I could go on and on, but if you are looking for a great stay, this is def the place for you!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: This is a great review of a truly amazing villa! With amazing ocean views and a beautifully decorated interior, Villa Costa Brava is a great pick for a Cabo vacation.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Villa Costa Brava. We have 6 month old twins and the villa was perfect for us as we could have the babies nap in the house while we were outside in the pool (with the monitor). The house and grounds were georgeous and the kitchen well equiped. The management company arranged for us to rent some baby equipment which was in the villa when we arrived. Our rental car was also at the villa when we arrived. Everything was smooth and easy and the beach and view unbeatable. It was a recipe for success for us with small children but would have been equally wonderful as a couple or with friends. The beds were comfortable. The only small critisism I have is that the water took a long time to get hot in the bathrooms and the water pressure was sometimes weak. But other than that I have not complaints. Having a washer and dryer was also key with small babies and they work very well.The maid comes every other day which is probably unnecessary, and she washed all the towels and sheets many times - again probably unnecessary (not very environmentally friendly). But it was nice all the same to have this service. I would definitely come again to this villa.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

The property is a bit dated but was very clean upon arrival. It was cleaned every second day after arrival, but never to the same standard and communication was a challenge as the very nice cleaning lady did not speak any English. We all laughed and gave up after hand signals etc failed comically. The biggest problems for us were ants. Ants were everywhere in the kitchen area, but the fridge, everyday. The manager agreed. It was an on going biggest complaint he said. They had tried a service but no luck. He was good enough to ensure we had a can of spray ant killer. But they became pretty busy, showing up in the microwave, the dishwasher, the kitchen counter and toughest of all in the counter top bottled water. The pool was nice but as the weather cooled and the rains came in the second week the pool cooled significantly and did not heat back up to the comfortable advertised 85 degrees. But the pool was kept very clean. Other be aware points that might matter to some renters are noise related. The home behind this home has family like parties on the weekend and the kids love to scream in their fun time in the pool and that can go one past 11:00pm. It is happy fun not ugly noise, but it is non stop. There is also lots of highway noise as the home is but 100ish feet from a 4 lane highway. Also a major building development has started 2 doors over. There is construction noise. The owner makes note of construction noise in the contract you sign and let's you know he can not be responsible. Fair disclosure on his part. The bed is comfortable. New big screen in the living room. Lots of spa ish shows and limited English but we were not there to watch TV, so no biggie. Gardens are well kept. Gardners use no motorized blades or blowers. How very wonderful. And the beach is nothing less than wonderfully clean, long, beautiful and. Has few visitors. The beach is magic. Hope this was helpful.Recommended for: Families with teenagers.
Owner response: The property manager fumigated and reports that the ants are no longer an issue. A sensor on the pool heater was replaced as the pool is normally a comfortable temperature. (85 degrees) The reported construction is two blocks (100 yards+) from the property.

First, the management company was one of the best I have ever dealt with either on VRBO, or otherwise. ESSV is extremely professional with a great attention to detail, before the trip and upon arrival. They had a pitcher of margaritas waiting for us upon arrival. Nice touch. They had a rental car waiting, also great service (Avis, Dreams). We stayed as a couple, which was very affordable in the off season. It was plenty large enough for two couples, or a couple with 2-3 kids. The bedrooms are on the opposite sides of the house, and every one has access to the pool. Master bedroom and bath is big with large walk-in shower and very large double vanity sink. PLENTY of towels and sheets. The bed is a little funny, and feels high in the middle, but it's comfortable enough. The other two bedrooms were a double and a double/twin. Because every room looks out on the pool, the rooms aren't super-private. You can always shut your shade if you are changing or something. But, you'll want to keep those windows open at night to watch the sunrise, and to hear the ocean! Kitchen has everything you could need. Very well stocked. The housekeeper keeps it extremely clean (service every other day). We were spoiled. We ate in for half our meals, which was nice. Although, the Marbella suites next door has a great restaurant as well. The washer and dryer were very clean and new. I think they work better than the ones I have at home! I spent every day next to the pool. Boy, do I miss it. I can't tell you how much more relaxing it is to have your own private pool versus fighting for chairs at a resort. Wow wow wow. It is truly private as there are bushes surrounding the yard. Someone comes to clean it every other day, but it may still get a bunch of leaves in it. Big deal. There's a net... The beach is very close, like a block away. There is quite a big hill down to it, and it isn't a flat "running" beach like many other places. Sand is larger-grained and a challenge to walk in. The sunrises and watching the waves is amazing and make up for everything. I don't swim, so I can't tell you how safe it is. I saw a guy tending turtle eggs, and watched pelicans hunt every morning. Almost no one was ever there when I was there, so the beach felt as private as the pool. While we were there, it had recently rained, so there were about a million ants, flies, mosquitos, bees, dragonflies, cockroaches.... This is hardly the fault of this unit though. At least it was green in Cabo!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: I am so happy you loved my vacation home! There were large waves from recent summer tropical storms causing the beach to erode and become steeper. During winter and spring the waves are typically much smaller making the beach very nice for walking and swimming. P.S. The master bedroom has a new king size memory foam bed.

This was one of the best vacations we have had, the villa was exactly as it looks in the pictures and it was very clean and very well taken care of. Alisha came in every 2 days to clean and she did an amazing job, the pool was taken care as well as the garden area. If you plan on spending a fair amount of time away from the villa then I would recommend a car rental, but it was easy to get a taxi. The villa is so beautiful that we only left to get groceries....the beach is right there for your morning walks. We watched the whales from the patio and the cruise ships going into and out from Cabo San Lucas...Wonderful vacation:)Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Took family of seven and stayed at Costa Brava for spring break 2011. Great layout with pool, great outdoor deck and dining area, clean and roomy. Owner and villa coordinators very helpful and accurate in property description and amenities. Pictures don't do it justice compared to seeing it for real. Fantastic views of Sea of Cortez, including whales sighted off shore from the house. Lots of amenities and easy to get to/from Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo via rental car - we rented car but bus stop by next door suites hotel. Beach almost private, not too many people on this beach locale, although surf is very rough thus no swimming. But took kids to main beach in Cabo for swimming. Family had great experience. We can't wait to go back!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Note: The surf varies depending on the time of year. Spring, Summer and Fall typically has calmer surf conditions. We swim, snorkel, body surf and boogie board as conditions allow. Two excellent protected areas for swimming and snorkeling are located within a 5 minute drive at Chileno and Santa Maria Bays.

About the owner: My wife and I purchased the Villa Costa Brava just before our son was born 13 years ago. Today our family loves to invite friends to come and enjoy our Baja beach house at Costa Brava. We often get up before the sun rises and take long walks on the beach. Our favorite beach walks include watching turtles hatch, ospreys hunt, pelicans soar, and whales migrate along the Sea of Cortez. In terms of activities our favorites include fishing, swimming and snorkeling at Chileno and Santa Maria Bays, hiking and canyon zip lines, swimming with dolphins, kayaking around the arch and spending time in and on around our pool. We take great pride in keeping our house in excellent condition and provide a quality service which we know that your group will appreciate. Bienvenido!
Why the Owner Chose Costa Brava:
We love Cabo and purchased our house as it is off the beaten track yet just a 10 minute drive to either town. We enjoy our privacy and walks on the beach.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Amazing Sea of Cortez views from every room! Lounging on the hammock and around the pool. Watching whales swim by from the pool deck.

Cities want answers before vote to kill TransLink tax hike
Metro Vancouver mayors are demanding to know what transit services TransLink will slash from its new plan if they cancel a temporary property tax increase and derail a promised launch of the Highway 1 Rapid Bus service.
Mayors may vote as early as Oct. 18 on whether to cancel the tax hike, which would add an extra $23 to the average Metro home's bill in 2013 and 2014, generating $30 million TransLink says is needed for various transit upgrades, including the new Port Mann rapid buses and a new B-Line express route in Surrey.
Local cities oppose heavier reliance on property tax for TransLink but last year okayed the temporary property tax on the expectation the province would quickly grant a new source like a vehicle levy to replace it.
Now with a new chance to unravel it after being spurned by Victoria, Metro leaders are split.
Some South of Fraser mayors now hope the tax hike stays in order to get the new bus service, others insist it's time to quash it and draw a firm line in the sand with Victoria and still others are waiting for more information.
"I want to know what's going to be cut," Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said Wednesday after mayors grilled TransLink officials on the plan, which already scales back previous promises.
"If I agree to withdrawing the $30 million a year does that mean every bus service in my community gets reduced? What are the ramifications of that?"
TransLink so far won't say what would be on the chopping block.
A provincial audit will soon report and there are hopes it could uncover more savings and lessen the blow if mayors do opt to withdraw the tax hike.
Even if the tax hike survives, Moore noted it will be unwound after 2014, sparking potentially severe service cuts then, if the province fails to deliver new funding streams in the meantime.
"We've given them a clear message it won't be supported after the two years."
Moore said TransLink seems to be doing a good job of finding savings internally, but added cities aren't happy with shifts to bus service that reduce the frequency of some routes.
Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said TransLink's funding system is unsustainable and the province has so far blocked the mayors' efforts to find a solution.
"There's a huge level of frustration that we're still in this box," she said.
Watts said the region should move to a system of "road pricing and equitable tolling" that caps the use of property tax, reduces the 17-cent-a-litre gas tax within Metro and eliminates the need to add a vehicle levy.
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson vowed to vote again to rescind the property tax increase – mayors tried to kill it once already in the spring but the vote was deemed invalid – citing insufficient service in Delta for what her residents pay.
"The eastern sector got the Golden Ears Bridge, then they got the Port Mann, now they're getting a fast bus that goes every 10 minutes," she said.
Jackson also questioned how TransLink could end up short $472 million over the next three years from what it previously forecast.
"Who is driving the bus on these projections?" she asked. "We're talking almost half a billion dollars. That's a big mistake."
Some of the revenue drop comes from gas tax and less fares than expected, but TransLink is also shelving a $150 million real estate sale to a more opportune time.
Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, the mayors' council vice-chair, urged his counterparts to think regionally, not parochially.
"A lot of the mayors around the table have been prepared to make tough decisions in the best interest of the whole region not just because it's good for their community," he said. "I hope we continue to strive to do that."

Self-Evident, the latest book of verses by award-winning poet Scott Hightower, commences with the Enlightenment, before moving to the Spanish Civil War, then concluding with works best described as self-portraiture.
Self-Evident, to be released by Barrow Street Press in April, moves through the centuries while invoking a range of real-life and fictional figures—Benjamin Franklin, Stanley Kowalski the Nobel prize-winning scientist Severo Ochoa, Spanish poet Aurora de Albornoz, and even Peter Pan, to name a few. Though Hightower's poems employ history as a vehicle, he aims to use the past to shed light on our contemporary inner selves.
Hightower, who teaches in NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, is the author of three previous books of poetry: Tin Can Tourist, Natural Trouble, and Part of the Bargain, which received Copper Canyon Press's Hayden Carruth Award. Hightower's poems have appeared in the Yale Review, Salmagundi, Ploughshares, and the Paris Review, among other publications. For more, go to: scotthightower.com.

You need to think long and hard about the kind of person you are and if that is honestly the kind of person you want to be. I'm really surprised that a parenting blog would allow something like this.
Wow. I was going to post a scathing comment about this list, but so many people beat me to it! Thank goodness that people out there know better than to make fun of children.

AOL has announced it it selling 800 patents to Microsoft for $1.06 billion, patents include advertising, search, content generation, social networking, mapping, multimedia, and security, plus other "core" technologies. AOL will still have about 300 patents after the sale.
AOL has been limping along as the broadband era surpassed dial-up, something AOL was famously dominate in. Revenue at AOL is just a fraction of what it used to be 10 years ago and the company has been looking for ways to stop the hemorrhaging of money and turn its fortunes around.

Step 1: Tools and Materials
knife or strippers
soddering iron(not essential but saves time)
screw driver
voltage tester(depends)
*#7 bit
*1/4" tap
*may change depending on the electrode you use and how you connect it to the wire
Materials:(Keep in mind all the materials I used are "borrowed" from work or I had around the house so they won't be the most effective solutions. Be creative with what you use)
Plastic container (I used a grape juice bottle)
High temperature silicone sealant <-expensive; regular silicone sealant MAY work
Wire (I used some left over wire from the amp that went in my wife's car, 14awg)
Teflon tape
Plastic tubing (I had to siphon gas once to change the fuel pump and had this hose from it, not sure why I kept it but I'm glad I did)
salt (for an electrolyte in the water)
Stainless Steel Electrode(update: THIS WILL NOT WORK)
I put this one on bottom because it will have the biggest explination. I am told stainless isn't esential but will not corrode like other metals. I also read that coiled wire would be the best type(i.e. pipe, plate, wire).Platinum would be your number 1 choice but who can afford that? I used some pipe I found at work.
-I ended up using the graphite from 2 pencils as my electrodes

First, the chemistry and physics. This silly rig will not increase mileage. It will produce, at best, a tiny amount of hydrogen. And in order to produce that hydrogen it places a tremendous load on the vehicle's electrical system. There is no free lunch in physics: that energy is being drawn from the output of the vehicle's engine, reducing the amount available to propel said vehicle down the road.
Then there's the mechanical matters. People are playing around with sulfuric acid, generating extremely explosive oxygen and hydrogen mixes, and casually dismissing the generation of chlorine gas. This isn't just bad science, this is seriously dangerous stupidity.
And the credulity of the supporters of this "HHO nonsense" is amazing. If it worked, the automotive industry would be all over it. They are under huge public and regulatory pressure to increase the MPG ratings of their vehicles. If "HHO" worked they would have seized it and shoved it into every car rolling off the assembly line. Instead, they are spending billions on actual engineering work. Billions they could be pocketing as profit if "HHO" worked.
L'argument selon lequel il faut dépenser de l'électricité et donc que ce n'est pas une solution économique n'est pas pertinent. A votre avis que fait l'alternateur de la voiture entraînée en permanence par le moteur?
IF you have a cheap or GREEN source of electrons, you can add some batteries and improve your milleage (end of story).
I've noticed a couple people insisting in the comments that supplementing fuel with oxyhydrogen will not work. There have been official studies that prove an increase in fuel efficiency. Several are listed here http://www.eagle-research.com/cms/er-hyzor-resources/fuel-savers-general/er-hyzor-general/board-electrolyzers-work
Eagle Research also has a book on how to design and build your own generator
or you can get a fully assembled device along with all the instructions for installing it and optimizing it
Eagle-Research, Inc. isn't a reliable source. Right next to the "research" on HHO there is "research" onperpetual motion machines.
Just who is the spammer here? Just who is "sidestepping actual points"?
And how is it that MY "claims" are "tired"? Really? Am I the one who posts the identical claim, over and over, ad nauseum? Whether or not such claim has anything whatever to do with the post to which it is supposed to be a reply to, (and it generally doesn't)?
Hydrogen is a catalyst.
I can go on. You have made quite a few claims here that have no evidential backing just to explain away all the reasons HHO doesn't work..
For that matter, what I actually did say, I doubt that I did so "at least three times". If I did that many, certainly no more than three, which gives lie to the implication of "at least three times". And, to the extent that I repeated myself, it was as a responsive comment. You see, unlike certain commenters, I am conscious of spamming the same non-responsive "reply", over and over.
My recollection is twice, though it could have been exactly three times. I am certain that it was no more than that.
And if one goes back to read my posts, one will find that I indeed did NOT say "The energy required to split water isn't related to the energy from burning the hydrogen", or anything like it.
And I quote, in its entirety: "Except that the energy required to break the molecular bonds in water has approximately NOTHING to do with the energetic contribution of the resulting H2 and O2 molecules to the combustion process of an ICE engine. Or hadn't you thought of that?"
Did I say anything about "the energy of burning hydrogen", most especially JUST hydrogen?
And I did NOT say "hydrogen is a catalyst".
Words mean things, and you should respond to; and refer to; some semblance of the meaning of what I said, rather than what appears to be some telephone game straw man that you chose to construct.
Just what are these "quite a few claims here that have no evidential backing"? Given "quite a few", it should be easy to find them. Try direct quotes this time.
BTW, not everything that happens in the real world has "evidential backing". And I have have been presenting my thoughts on what is really going on as "ideas" and "theories", not proven fact.
What's funny to me is that I have primarily been arguing what is happening in an HHO system AS A WHOLE, not just the HHO generator itself, in isolation, as you and a certain commenter seem wont to do.
Even if I had said every single thing that you claim, you have NO right - NONE, zip, zero, nada - to tell me to "shut up". Look at the top of this page. It says "share what you make", not "try to stifle all discussion that you don't agree with".
Name, say, five claims I have made that have "no evidential backing". Surely it won't be hard to do from a pool of "quite a few claims"
For example you claimed that the energy input to split the water had no relationship the the energy output at least 3 times here including a misguided attempt to point at high temp steam electrolysis.
'You are lying an (sic) it''s (sic) public record that you are', eh? It's a law of argumentation that the burden of proof of an assertion is upon the person making the assertion.
For my part, I don't believe that this forum is the proper place for argumentation, particularly the attempt to use it as a tool to stifle discussion, or the psuedo-noble pursuit of saving the gullible from themselves.
As for "ncluding a misguided attempt to point at high temp steam electrolysis", I didn't "point" to anything like you claim. I thought the quote was an interesting bit of information, and, in fact, actually made the point that you and another commenter have been trying to make. The article, (which I provided the link to), AND the quote I posted, also had an explanation of enthalpy, which makes your same point.
So, please tell me how making your point is some attempt to mislead people into believing something that is different than your point? And tell me how I have ever claimed "the energy input to split the water had no relationship the the energy output" even ONCE, let alone three times? I have NEVER argued the point that somehow, magically, the energy output, measured at the output of the HHO generator, is higher than the energy it takes to make the HHO. That is just plain silly, and I would never, ever assert such a thing.
Try reading my actual quote. I looked it up for you and posted it above. Words mean things, and I will not let you try to twist mine into something they don't actually say.
Oh, so I don't know chemistry or physics now? Add this to your professional, at a distance, opinion of my psychological state, and my intent, based in its entirety on posts I made on a website! Wow, you must be some amazing sort of human being, to be able to come to these conclusions, having such scant evidence to work with.
Yeah, I'll agree that I've "got no let (sic) to stand on", because I don't even know what that statement means, so I'll take your word for it.
I am saying "others have it wrong"? Am I really? Well, I suppose I am when someone makes an absurd statement like a higher compression ratio will make more power, but it takes more fuel to make that power.
If I were as judgmental as you appear to be, I suppose I would label that as a sign of ignorance as to how ICEs work, and I'm not like that.
Otherwise, I don't remember asserting that someone is "wrong". I've had a few people tell me plenty times that *I'm* wrong. Is that what you're referring to?
I offer other theories as to how this system could work in the real world, and certain other people assert that *I* am wrong. Is that what you mean"
You yourself have made an assertion that supports one of my ideas as to how these systems can work, and a certain, self-appointed protector of the gullible has made an assertion that supports another of my ideas.
Just what "ad hoc claims" are you referring to? And exactly when did I "repeat" them? Please enlighten an old man. Maybe my recall is getting weak in my old age.
If I were indeed "repeating the same ad hoc claims", (which I do NOT stipulate), at least I am posting in actual response to, and relevance to the posts to which I am replying.
I still can't believe that you characterized ME as a "spammer". That is fairly comical in and of itself.
One mans short lived dream back in 1996 was too dilute Hydrogen into conventional valves and mix cubic gases and exchange like for like. As if it was LPG a by-product of the premium 90-95 ron. With gas now sequenced into a diesels and petrols expensive ways around ideas.
The facts that soft valve seats, and dry and high pressure fuel intakes pre designs. Indeed there will phase out some favorable suitable conversions, especially if Health and safety premiums are gigantic threat. hence a dying , defying the failed infrastructurebrought on by accidental owners of self destruction, irony.(such technology !! it was only meant to win a war technology, not blow the bloody doors off !!
Irony was no efforts taken to fund a trillion dollar trade back then, left an unknown possible clean but unbalanced world was too much a steep curve to trade currency . Biggest potential future documented human fate insight is what names are naming. Head in sand no longer in control.
IF only we had not the combustion engine, quality of life would be certain. H20 is the lifeforce behind organic matter. Water god is the biggest reality if all facts were on the table.
Pocket technology is evolving faster than the human brain . Water and changing gravity metamorphism evolution intellect, is the same water traveling within a molecular times and many spaces. Addictive water inhabits life and all memory maybe fictitious entity to human ears. But is what it is, thats all, a given thought should indeed identify a source of value. See sandman files.
Say its only rational to be a sheep. Legislation and the red tape wont stop you legally spending 5k on a laboratory legal mains plugin hydrogen fuel cell. Of corse its a potential hazard . And with no legal certification this would need some attention, they will want to know what you want it for. If you wanted it for say, dispense into handy sized fuel cells,into unkown safe use to then be diluted signature fuel. And qualified. But these fuel cells sell. Look into the algia and ancient desert water in libya where gadafi,s water pipes ran for farms maybe. Now algia future production under hot sun. Including energy infrastructure built in iraq. Future is key and fight to the death for it, begun.Much to human embarrassment, and thats just the half of it.
So if it wasn't for potential helium3 shortage, and moon farming .Talking electric supply and demand for coal extraction decay. The liquid fuel price for both x10 .Travel is the least of ones problems. Of coarse free energy will never happen, idealistically. imagine the immediate threats of multiple armies defending each colony.
Not on each others continent, but back yards. Family and work wont be a viable trade and strict belief would be uneducated without the dumbing down. So think soldiers of unlimited power defending there own secure but insecure potential feelings. As if we could handle being equals,loving thy neigbour, not forgetting we are more like territorial fish at best, we cant escape our environment, doesnt matter how much trillion we spend on space missions.
And yes without are need for genetic enforced integration program would have to exist, forms to fill in etc but more future tech, potential disease life longevity test rather than natural selecton, if only a joke. As most of the population born from adventure and discovery from single oil product of a this efficient population explosion created as if it will never be delt with in a pleasant manor than it all ready is, without media daily paranoia.
Just a raw feed of subconscious bot signature active voiced internet. Certainties are of the love of others. do not do to others that you would'nt do to yourself. Has been fickle and winds of changed future transmission. Take onboard what ,prof Albert Bartlet put it down so lovingly and so well.
And youtube so your heart desires, sure you have blue motion hydrogen vw's and the like where you will be able to lease - rent. Not own mind you . Same goes for electric lifepo4 and newer lithium with all the 10 min charge points with all the same ions going same direction.
You may own the car but not the battery, that too is tobe leased. Before the status quo period of transition shortly followed by the mad max vision of just how much people love a pain free travel freedom ideals. The reality of eastern europeans and go plant a tree now! for gasification survival later. Isnt a bad one.
Much evidence of smouldering irony of bales of hay, emitting no flame only capturing the filtered abundance of potential energy into medium sized tanked latex balloon. Trapped with bottleneck levels Valved off into semi convenient heating less dangerous than methane
.Only where farmers and law of land does not permit such arial or underground storage solution. Getting back to hydrogen, i just wonder if the population burnt off the same energy amount of say 85 million peak barrels of oil a day,say that of all possible hydrogen, that eats oxygen fast like a Eurofighter turbine engine. what percentage of oxygen would be left in the air. Effecting the growth rate and entire species of every living species.
Also the outcome of the water, if not already polluted, enough by nuclear and the have to say moronic fracking for survival of Americas grip of reality with the likes of haarp requiring a billion watts of power. Going off again beef production alone is more problematic than vehicles efficiency.
Along with it Brown dwarf stars and admiration for modern chinese way of life,zero tolerance. the future is the concern. The past has been too radical, to stop the self relenting human rights, well without any honour the physics remain.
But the maths thats a different story. Oh and yes its not a closed system. History repeating now, so bring on the zero gravity quantum physics, well at least the tram travel super-conducter lines, first powered by hydroelectric off shore power plants. Then more green business like the rather large chinese space solar mission running.
Not until Carbon based chip production, more production of sustainable lithium ,helium,cheap neodium magnets while saying no to no tar sands, no natural shale gas drilling,no cheap food production,no to green politics, no to corrupt business ethics, no to amplified electricity certainties, no to free plasma energies, not including the growing list of discoveries that are disclosed.
Google and the like have there systems on backup with almost free energy powercells that are silicon based. So if all sats fail, and lay-lines suit affordable budgets for human gain. We will always have a hydrogen problem.
Computer says no. So we should all unplug. Need someone to come up with the internet 2, without the need of sats, then you have a true public domain. There trying novel private spy-planes drones ,to webserve. Irony is there guidance systems rely on satnav gps..
Mild rant over.
yes we are only as mad, as the world you live in.Consider it, a luxury to dwell or even choose.
Hydrogen will still combust sufficiently to run an engine, at ratios higher than stoichiometric. Far lhigher, which is good, because apparently NOx is much higher at that ratio.
I thought that was full throttle under load, not just high load.
On top of that, given the losses in converting mechanical energy to hydrogen (which I've covered so many times that I'm not going to cover them again), these systems will always, always, always produce a drop in fuel economy.
...and if you can't produce a catalytic effect from hydrogen 'in a test tube' you're never going to produce one in a 4-stroke engine.
You can fool yourself if you like- but don't try to fool anyone else, mkay?
Hydrogen has no catalytic effect. It does not improve the combustion of anything, petrol included.
Modern piston engines with fuel injection and computerised engine management systems manage to burn 99% of the fuel introduced into the engine. However, piston engines are only about 30% efficient in converting the energy in petrol into mechanical energy. This inefficiency is not due to failure to combust the fuel efficiently, it's due to friction and a requirement to limit the combustion temperatures, both to preserve the integrity of the metals the engine is made of and prevent the formation of nitrogen oxides (atmospheric air is about 73% nitrogen- extremely high combustion temps form NOx). Quite a lot of the heat produced by burning petrol in a piston engine is removed by the cooling system instead of being used to move pistons. Adding more fuel (and that's all hydrogen is in this application) or replacing some petrol with hydrogen does nothing at all to reduce the losses in a piston engine.
Last time: 'HHO' is a HHOAX. There's no way to generate hydrogen using an automobile charging system that will not reduce fuel economy nor will hydrogen reduce the losses in a piston engine. Any technique which removes mechanical energy from a drive system and converts it into other forms of energy will always reduce the efficiency of the drive system, due to the laws of thermodynamics and entropy. There's losses in every conversion.
If you want to improve the efficiency of a piston engine, you must find a way to make use of thermal energy which is wasted and/or exhaust pressure or reduce friction losses.
Engine Losses - 62.4 percent
Idling Losses - 17.2 percent
Accessories - 2.2 percent
Driveline Losses - 5.6 percent
Aerodynamic Drag - 2.6 percent
Rolling Resistance - 4.2 percent
Overcoming Inertia; Braking Losses - 5.8 percent
But you are the scientist right? If your day job consists of facts and science Please resign before you kill someone or yourself!

Audiences love to root for the five-time Oscar nominee, who's become Hollywood's go-to hero -- for proof, see his latest, 'The Taking of Pelham 123.' But he's also proven, with films like 'Training Day' and 'American Gangster,' that he enjoys the occasional foray to the villainous side of the screen.
Of Washington's almost 40 screen credits, we've chosen his top 10. Check out our picks for Denzel's best films, and then tell us yours. 'Book of Eli' star Denzel Washington has become one of the most respected and influential actors of the current generation: a genuine movie star with grace, vigor and magnetic charm.
Audiences love to root for the five-time Oscar nominee, who's become Hollywood's go-to hero -- for proof, see his latest, 'The Taking of Pelham 123.' But he's also proven, with films like 'Training Day' and 'American Gangster,' that he enjoys the occasional foray to the villainous side of the screen.
Of Washington's almost 40 screen credits, we've chosen his top 10. Check out our picks for Denzel's best films, and then tell us yours.
10. 'Inside Man' (2006)
Critics hailed Spike Lee's crime drama as his best film in years. And they had good reason: Lee put his movie in the hands of some of the best actors in the biz, chief among them Washington, whose Det. Keith Frazier -- tough, savvy, just a touch beaten down -- went mano-a-mano with both Jodie Foster's "fixer" and Clive Owen's criminal mastermind. In the end, he earned their respect ( ... and we would say ours, but heck, he already had it).

9. 'Mississippi Masala' (1991)
Indian director Mira Nair's first English-language film was this multiracial romance, starring Washington and Sarita Choudhury as star-crossed lovers in the Deep South fighting cultural differences to stay together. It's our favorite of Nair's films, and remains Denzel's sexiest role -- so far. We haven't given up hope.

8. 'Cry Freedom' (1987)
It didn't take long for Washington to get the Academy's attention, earning his first of five Oscar nominations in only his fourth film, about Apartheid freedom fighter Steve Biko. In the true story of the author (Kevin Kline) who risked his life to tell Biko's story, the South African revolutionary perishes early on, but Washington made a strong impression. Now if only Biko could get his own movie.

7. 'American Gangster' (2007)
Washington excels at playing true-hearted heroic types (see 'Glory,' 'Courage Under Fire,' etc.) -- but we dig it when he plays the villain. And here, as real-life Harlem drug kingpin Frank Lucas, he's bad to the bone -- a man with no qualms about lighting someone on fire and so full of himself that he shoots a rival dead in broad daylight in front of a crowd without thinking twice. It's a testament to Denzel's acting ability that by the film's end we actually kind of like Lucas.
Rent the DVD | Buy the DVD
6. 'Philadelphia' (1993)
Even though 'Philadelphia' is the story of Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks, who won an Oscar for the role), a lawyer discriminated against because he has AIDS, one of the movie's most poignant messages comes from Joe Miller (Washington). As Beckett's attorney, Miller learns to accept his client and better understand his disease -- which was still a relative mystery in the early '90s -- while fighting for his basic human rights.
Rent the DVD | Buy the DVD
5. 'The Hurricane' (1999)
This one-two punch of a film delivered an emotional knockout. As the regularly hard-edged Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, the real-life boxer wrongly accused of murder and imprisoned for 19 years, Washington revealed just enough vulnerability to make you feel his pain, and more than enough ferocity to leave you looking for a wall to beat through.
Rent the DVD | Buy the DVD
4. 'Training Day' (2001)
Washington is simultaneously magnetic and loathsome as a rogue L.A. narcotics detective who puts a rookie (Ethan Hawke) through the wringer -- and then some -- during his first day on the job. Machiavellian to the extreme, badass to the core, Denzel's Alonzo is a trash-talking, multilayered character for the ages. Are we shocked the role won him the 2002 Oscar for Best Actor? No f***ing way.
Rent the DVD | Buy the DVD
3. 'Remember the Titans' (2000)
Here's Washington at his likable-everyman best, as an embattled high school football coach putting his heart and soul into integrating his team. At once father figure and drill sergeant to his rowdy crew of gridiron players, his Coach Herman Boone is a good man doing good work, and there's no one better than Washington to play him.
Rent the DVD | Buy the DVD
2. 'Malcolm X' (1992)
In a performance that boasts enough great moments to fill a highlight reel, Washington's riveting portrayal of the controversial Muslim leader and Civil Rights activist earned him his first Oscar nomination in a leading role. Is it any surprise that one of Hollywood's greatest actors would knock it out the park playing one of modern America's most fascinating and polarizing historical figures?
Rent the DVD | Buy the DVD
1. 'Glory' (1989)
The second of Washington's Oscar nods (and his first win, for Best Supporting Actor) was for this devastatingly moving drama based on the true story of a volunteer company of black soldiers fighting in the Civil War. Though, again, as in 'Cry Freedom,' the lead role was for a white man (Matthew Broderick in this case), Washington's performance as Private Trip was superlative -- he was the only actor from the film to win (or even be nominated for) any awards. Even then, we knew he deserved a promotion.

New Bills, and a New Brand
Posted by: RichardAs president of the Dollar ReDe$ign Project, I recently contributed to the New York Times's Room for Debate feature, "Bringing Dollars and Cents Into This Century." I think U.S. currency could use a lot of improvement, especially in these 5 key areas:
1. Size
It's novel that each bill is the same size, but really it's such a simplistic idea it makes our currency look like it was created by a group of Luddites.
2. Color
You could argue the term "greenback" is part of American culture, but that's not significant enough when you consider using one color not only impairs recognition for the sighted, but also paints a single-minded picture of America's philosophy.
3. Functionality
It's absolutely imperative that our currency includes the latest security features. That's a given. But why not also include additional features to make it easier for the visually impaired to distinguish each note?
4. Composition
America is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, so why aren't we using a material that's as technologically advanced as we are, something synthetic like plastic?
5. Symbolism
We should use the design of our currency as a means to celebrate multiple aspects of what makes the U.S. great. We live in a culturally rich and vibrant country that is idolized all over the world for what it represents, so we should use our currency as a vehicle to "advertise" all that we are. Not just a few dead presidents.

Due to the rain out of all but one feature event on June 17, the four remaining
events were run prior to the 6-24 program. Each was a full length feature. Darrell
Nelson won both the WISSOTA Late Model and Modified main events. In the 25
Late Model event Nelson tracked down Aaron Lillo from the seventh starting
position. Lillo started from the outside of the front row and it took Nelson until the
21st lap to make the pass after the first caution flag of the race. Earlier there had
been a red flag situation as the cars of Gregg Hill and Late Model rookie Scott
Herrick tangled off turn two and crashed into the ditch along the back stretch.
Herrick's #00 did a side over roll and landed on its wheels while Hill's #8 finished
partially on one of the huge tractor tires that are in front of the guard rail. Hill was
soon out and walking about but it took rescue workers several minutes to extract
Herrick who was seen walking to the ambulance. Word came later that he was
taken to St. Mary's Essentia Health in Duluth where he was admitted to the I.C. U.
