Intimidating route that climbs the steepest section of rock on the left side of the Thunderhead. This route is a sustained power-endurance climb with wild sequences. The opening sequence is very difficult and gets you in the mood for the crux mono section and heart-breaking redpoint crux up high. This is one of the canyon's hardest routes and has been described as hard for the grade.
9 bolts, open cold shuts anchor
Arguably the best route at the wall. Very hard, but some of the best dynamic climbing you will ever do. This route is the epitome of climbing at the thunderhead. When you're ready, strap this brute on and crank it out. I have seen everyone who has redpointed the route and their attempts, and let me tell you this one will take it to your limits. Superior!
Arguably the best route in the Canyon! Unbelievable movement on stellar stone w/ just enough holds to keep it flowing. Bring your sprinting shoes and watch out for the tree on the final headwall. Has this thing seen any ascents other than the first three? With all the strong boys I'd like to think it's a regular send these days.
I don't think anyone has sent it besides me, Dale and you. Again, McNabb was close before the season ran out. I think Scott Hahn was close, but I don't think he did it. You guys can correct me if I'm wrong.
Did Andy Raether get on it? Did he get on anything at the Thunderhead?
I tried this route when I was out there last summer and that mono crux scared me. I thought I would lose my finger if I fell. Maybe I was doin' it the wrong way? I might give it another try this spring/summer.
From what Jason told me, the only other route that Andy got on besides Hopeful was Alice.... and he didn't do it. In fact, Jason said he got pretty frustrated here and vowed never to come back. The guy climbs 14+ in Rifle and southern Utah!
As for the mono, don't yard on it. Set your feet and jump, only use the mono to keep yourself in. The entire steep section is pretty much just grab and go. There's a big drop knee just before the final roof but otherwise save your feet for the finish. Raether didn't even do Alice! Wow. Well, he's always got Rifle.
From what I understand (Hahn told me about it) it was a number of years ago (5 or more) that Raether visited and got on the routes. I've never really talked to him too much about it. He didn't seem psyched for one reason or another when we did talk about the canyon though. Not sure why, the canyon is hard to beat. I imagine he would take care of business now though. Wendling looked good on all the routes he got on. Fun to climb with him. Miah, when are you coming back next? It would be great to see you up here.
Raether was there five years ago? I'm sure he'd crush now. Matt is the "14a climber from Wtoming"? He's definitely a good guy and strong as hell. I'm not sure when I'll be back, I'm thinking about making a trip out in the spring. The only problem is the weather can be total crap then. If not the spring the fall would be good. I'd like to come throw myself at Hopeful Monsters again. I'm planning on hitting up Charleston to get back in pocket pulling mode and then we'll see what happens. Are you working Hopeful or In on the Killtaker? What's up with you these days? I hear your the new hard man in town. Your going to have to step up and crush a few of the old projects before word gets out and somebody else comes creeping in. It's good to see your name up there give me a ring sometime.
I just realized you can link to youtube videos. What a good Saturday morning activity...

A surfer was hospitalized with serious injuries after a shark attack Tuesday off Northern California.
The 25-year-old surfer, whose name had not been released at the time of this post, was reported to be in fair condition after undergoing surgery at St. Joseph Hospital in Humboldt County.
This marks the second shark attack off California in the past week. The first, off Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County, resulted in the death of 39-year-old surfer Francisco Javier Solorio Jr. An expert determined that attack to have likely involved a white shark measuring 15 to 16 feet.
This is feeding season for white sharks off Northern and Central California. Adult white sharks typically prey on elephant seals and smaller pinnipeds.
Tuesday's attack, which removed a large crescent-shaped bite from the victim's board and left him with a 14-inch bite wound in the rib and hip area, occurred at about noon at Bunker Surf Spot, near what is known as the North Jetty.
According to the Eureka Times-Standard, the surfer was transported from the scene by the driver of a black pickup. He was met by emergency personnel when the truck arrived on Highway 101.
David Hargrave, one of several witnesses, said the victim managed to make it ashore on his own power, but was bleeding profusely.
Jason Gabriel, who owns the pickup, said he had just finished surfing and happened to be driving by when the victim was being assisted from the water's edge. Of the ride to the highway Gabriel said, "I was probably doing 110 mph; I've never seen anything like this in my life."
Gabriel said the victim looked to be in bad shape, and might have been going into shock.
"It punctured all the way through," Gabriel said. "He was going, 'Oh my God, oh my God.'"
The victim's name and other details will be posted here when they become available.

Harris Corp. will upgrade and improve regional communications in central Virginia under an $11.8 million contract from the Region 2000 Local Government Council.
Region 2000 includes 184,460 residents in Bedford and Amherst counties, the cities of Lynchburg and Bedford, and the town of Amherst, according to the July 2 Harris announcement.
The award calls for Harris to provide advanced, standards-based digital technology to improve and unify mission-critical communications for more than 3,000 first responders and public works users.
When installed, the system will enable interoperable communications among the region's municipalities, as well as with surrounding cities and counties.
Region 2000's new integrated mission-critical communication system is based on the Harris VIDA network, which delivers scalability and features for future growth, and replaces the current three connected but separate radio systems.
The VIDA network platform is a unified IP-based voice and data communication system based on P25 industry standards.
It delivers full IP management features, including interoperability without intervention of console operators, IP consoles and other benefits inherent in open IP architecture systems, the announcement said.
Harris Corp., of Melbourne, Fla., ranks No. 11 on Washington Technology's 2012 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.

Smartwool Trekking Heavy Crew
Smartwool Trekking Heavy Crew
If Carlsberg made walking socks ....
Have worn these socks for a range of walking activities from high altitude climbs,to wet, miserable British hill days and I genuinely believe they are the best sock money can buy. Never given me a blister. Never had cold feet. Don't smell. Dry quickly. So comfy I wear them as sock slippers. Bomb proof - I'm still wearing pairs that are 6 years old. Kilimanjaro man above doesn't know what he's talking about. Buy some today and treat your feet!
08 July 2013
excellent socks purchased for wearing in the 3 peaks challenge
recommend to all walking/hikers, I've used now 6 times in preparation for the 3 peaks challenge- good socks, no blisters.
11 June 2013
Expensive but worth it
These socks were incredibly comfortable. They are a little on the expensive side but there is nothing worse than painful feet so I think they're totally worth it.
02 April 2013
Comfortable and kept feet warm in sub zero temps
Great value for money and kept my feet and toes warm. Did not rub or irritate on any joints.
26 March 2013
very good
After I bought this product , I went to Austria for a short holiday. I used this socks for a day hike and a day skiing too. I had 2 of these,1 of each days :) Was great, very warm, good feeling for the skin (not itching). Even in the skiing boots I didn't feel the cold during the resting time. Has a good breathability and not get smelly after a full day exercise ;-)
04 February 2013
Not durable
I only wore those socks once for the final climb of the Kilimanjaro, and during the climb down, they got holes from the friction with my toes.
08 September 2012
Superb sock
Great cushioning, feels like wearing a glove. Even worn in summer your feet do not smell. I do wear a thin under sock with them just as an individual preference, but have never had a problem with foot odor!! There are no raised seems and they stay in pace due to the arch place. I now have additional pairs as they are the best sock I have found.
26 July 2012
Best socks in the universe
These socks rock! They're practically indestructible, as warm wet as dry, as comfortable as a mother's womb and super easy to look after. If you don't buy these you're nuts!

Warrenpoint to Killough (Northern Ireland) Part 2
After Annalong we drove on to Newcastle which is a very unirish Victorian beach resort. It is dominated by the The Mournes mountains which are just behind it. J bought some detailed maps and routes of hikes for me in the tourist office.
Then we followed the coast and ended up in St John's point where there is a beautiful lighthouse and the remnants of the old church or hermits house St John used to live in.
After a short stop in the lovely village of Killough we drove through the Mournes back home. En route we spotted a field full of sheep and lambs so we stopped there. All the sheep and lambs started running towards us…….and bleating at the top of their voices. It sounded like the 'loudness of the sheep' and we moved off quickly to continue our drive through the Mournes mountain range. Definately going hiking there when I am done with the Wicklows.

Love everything about these pants
I love these pants. They are very comfortable and versatile, can be worn as dressy or casual, and come in 3 lengths. Would definiitely recommend them.
November 29, 2013
These pull-on pants are extremely comfortable to wear.
I have purchased 3 of these pull-on tummy control pants, in black, brown and gray. I purchased them at the store, tried them on and they fit perfect. The store did not have the heather taupe color in stock, so I ordered them on-line. Same style, same size but to my disappointment they did not fit properly.
November 25, 2013
very thin material
Would be ok for summer wearing but not cold winters. Thighs were tight which is normally not an issue.

In Edinburgh there is a beautiful, newly-restored 1930s mural at a school, but someone has complained because of a golliwog (in the painting with a red background, in the middle of the mural, there is a golliwog at the top right):
This raises exactly the same issues we face when, as sometimes happens, people complain about the slightly anti-semitic remarks in Miss Pettigrew. We feel that just because Winifred Watson said that Joe had something of the Jew about him, this does not mean we should be horrified or edit it out. Times were different then and this was a shorthand way of saying that Joe was dark-featured. We would not say it now. But we should not be offended retrospectively.
The picture below is from Twenty Hipster Home Trends we Love – in Easy Living, and it is true that Persephone books make a table if stacked neatly since they are all precisely the same height –
although obviously ranging in width from Few Eggs and No Oranges down to Cheerful Weather for the Wedding.
He was a superb and influential designer and his death led us to his book: Adventures with Letters 'offers valuable descriptions of the life of a freelance book jacket designer from the 1950s through the 1980s, as well as that of a teacher in British design schools in the turbulent 1960s.'
Virginia Woolf's Garden
is a very enjoyable book and we sell it in the shop. At the other end of the literary spectrum StoneRing Books has a downloadable e book by Keith Detloff called Unravelling Rowling which is about the Harry Potter books. It has several paragraphs finding apparent synergies between them and Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day: apparently the names Pettigrew, Twycross (the Preface writer) and Ronan (Winifred Watson's school) all appear in the series.
Alfred Brendel was extraordinarily wonderful on Desert Island Discs. One of the most memorable things he said was that 'my memories of the war time have been decisive for my whole life – they have prevented me from being credulous, from fanaticism, from nationalism, from creeds of any kind.' This is rather what one hopes fiction does for people.
The painting of Proserpine/Persephone by Rossetti, which has just been sold, is a portrait of Janey Morris. The National Portrait Gallery has a small exhibition about her and there is a lunchtime lecture by Jan Marsh on January 23rd.
Stanley Spencer's Sandham Memorial Chapel paintings are now at Somerset House. Here is an article about them and this
is how they look and here is a detail of Tea in the Hospital Ward 1932:
Finally, the Guardian had a good piece by the excellent Phil Baines about the different covers for The Outsider by Camus over the years – fifteen different covers are reproduced and it is interesting to compare them – here.

Although Christmas has finally passed, the partying has far from ended. While we're still recovering from time with family and friends, almost everyone still has their eye on New Year's Eve, one of the biggest nights of the year. Some will choose to stay home and avoid the crowd, but others plan their entire year around spending their night ringing in the New Year at the best party in town. While choosing the "best" isn't my place and everyone is looking for something different, we've got plenty of big events to celebrate the calendar turning over once again.
If you've yet to make your plans, you've still got a little time -- and I've got a few of the New Year's biggest highlights to help you choose. If you're looking for a big concert, a dance party, a night in the club with your friends and a loud band, or an all-night throw down, we've got a little of everything in Tulsa this year. You've just got to decide what you're looking for.
Alive & Kicking
When you think of Tulsa's most signature concert hall, the first place that comes to mind is Cain's Ballroom. The New Year wouldn't be the same without a good show to bring it in right. This year, "The House That Bob Built" celebrates with Randy Rogers Band, one the groups that promise to be the next huge act to blow up out of Texas. Randy and his crew are no strangers to Cain's and are looking forward to the show. "To us, it's one of the coolest places we play," Rogers told me recently. He also explained that "New Year's Eve is always such a weird gig anyway -- and if you're not paying in a cool place, it can really suck."
Fans need not worry about it sucking this year as Rogers not only continues to ride strong on the success of his last album, Burning the Day, but is looking forward to the release of the group's latest album, Trouble, in the first quarter of 2013. Although Rogers and his band have done it quietly, they've been signed to MCA since 2005 and continue to build their momentum as one of the few bands still on the label that long besides Gary Allen and George Strait.
We'll surely see that band come through again once the new album drops, but this will be a great opportunity not only to party in the New Year with the band and celebrate their history (and eight albums), but also to get a sneak preview of what's to come. If you love country, albeit with a little bit of a rock edge, this is a sure thing to wrap up 2012.
If you're a little more locally oriented, more geared toward rock, or want an even bigger party -- and are on a budget -- your best bet will be the annual NYE Ball Drop party, which has shifted locations yet again. After a couple of years in Brookside, last year's event moved downtown to the Blue Dome District. Attendance was estimated at approximately 20,000 last year and event planners are expecting even more this year so they have shifted the bulk of the event down the street a few blocks to the corner of 2nd and Greenwood.
As in years past, there will be music to go with the revelry. This year, they're bringing in Tulsa's hottest buzz band, We the Ghost, to guide the party. This one is an appropriate way to wrap up the year for We the Ghost, who burst onto the scene in February with its debut EP, A Mixtape Summer, and continued to evolve into a full fledged band, releasing its follow-up, White Noise, at the beginning of December. We'll surely be hearing more from these guys in 2013, and I've got an interview wrapped up and waiting in the wings as the group has big things lining up for the New Year.
What's most exciting is seeing how the band chemistry has become so tight. The group has only strengthened over the past six months, preparing it for what should be a huge 2013. You'll want to see them now, and what better time and place than Tulsa's biggest public party?
On a smaller scale, if you're looking to get your jam band fix and count down to midnight with some great tunes in a cool room, The Shrine is the place to be as Montu and Captain Comfy ring in the New Year with a long night of jams.
Partying (Semi) Privately
If you love the idea of partying in one of Tulsa's premier venues, but you want something a little more familiar, The Brady Theater opens up its New Year's party to the public this year, making it an annual event that should follow in the footsteps of its Halloween blowout. This party kicks off with DJ Kibble at 8pm and live music begins at 9pm, with a collection of Tulsa's favorite cover acts. Charlie Redd gets things started, followed by Bradio, who will play a mix of Beatles and Chicago covers; the Mid Life Crisis Band rings in the New Year, and Jenny LaBow and the Jumpshots cap off the night. Tickets are $50 for general admission or $75 a head for VIP seating with tables of eight. Granted, it's a little pricey, but this lineup is geared more toward a slightly older crowd, where $50 a head is a drop in the bucket -- and it's worth it because this lineup will definitely deliver. You can find more information and tickets at bradyparty.com.
If you're looking for a party that gets even louder and runs even longer, Z104.5, The Edge, is sponsoring the annual NYE Bash at the downtown Hyatt Regency. Packages are $299 per couple, but include overnight accommodations with early check-in and late checkout and a complimentary breakfast buffet to help you recover after a long night of partying in three ballrooms with two bands. Imzadi rocks out in the Tulsa Ballroom while Big Band Theory gives things a different spin in the Promenade Ballroom and the Oklahoma Ballroom provides a cigar and martini lounge with karaoke. Everything is wrapped up into one, including a place to crash and be safe, all under one roof. More details can be found at edgetulsa.com.
Finally, if you're looking for the biggest and best dance party of the year, don't forget the 4th Annual Crystal Ball & New Year's Masquerade at the IDL Complex. This party has grown year over year and promises to once again be the best dance party of the New Year with dancing and different vibes in three clubs, all with one cover charge. Steve Cluck and Speedbump will be doing their thing in Enso while The PANIC! Crew and Darku J with Just Jon will keep IDL Ballroom and Electric Circus hopping all night long with visual effect by Xylo Sesame and Jonny Hazuki keeping the party atmosphere alive. Doors open at 9pm with a Red Carpet entry for the event, for which formal attire is encouraged and masks are provided at the door. Of course, this is a 21 an over event and this year's sponsor is Skyy Vodka, so you know it's going to be one major blowout for the New Year. Get your tickets and more details at tulsacrystalball.com.
Club Minded
Even though there are some really big parties going on, don't think the clubs aren't getting in on the action. Make sure to see what you're favorite hotspot is doing and don't miss the opportunity to ring in the New Year with your favorite bands and bartenders. I can't list everything here, but a few of the highlights include Mercury Lounge's annual throw down with Electric Rag Band, Able the Allies finishing up the year at Hunt Club before moving to California, and a New Year's Family Jam at Fassler Hall that will include a Paul Benjaman and Jesse Aycock, Dustin Pittsley, Desi & Cody, Wink Burcham, and a midnight "All-Star Jam" with a full horn section. And finally, if you're looking to really rock your way into the New Year, don't miss the return of RL Jones at Downtown Lounge.
Have fun and Happy New Year!

Cafe Juanita
Online Reservations
Our party of four loved our dinner experience at Cafe Juanita, a relatively small restaurant and though they were busy, we were hardly aware of the diners at the tables next to us. Our waiter made us feel as if ours was his only table that night - service was superb. We took our time with our meal and never felt rushed. Everything we ate was fabulous, especially the Seared Foie Gras appetizer - it was melt in your mouth. So were the Wagyu Beef Cheeks. As much as we were tempted to order dessert, we were all too full --- but our waiter brought us a complimentary bowl of ice cream that the four of us shared - we had no trouble finding room for it! Overall, it was everything we could have asked for.
We had a nice dinner at Cafe Juanita to celebrate a birthday. Food and wine were excellent. Service staff was helpful and attentive.
Had a super meal here on 16 August 2013: Half-order of pasta with chanterelles, then beef cheeks with celery root. Heaven. The wine guy recommended a very fine Barolo. Just wonderful.
excellent food, stellar service, unassuming location
The food is still fantastic, and the service is terrific. I do wish they would bring back the lemon tart of years ago.
Cafe Juanita while small is seasonally inspired and delicious. I am a gluten free diner and it was wonderful to have the opportunity to have pasta as an option with their house made gf pasta. Call ahead to ensure they make some that day. They were able to modify most items on the menu to be gluten free. It was great not to be limited as I often am at an Italian restaurant.
Wine steward knew his Italian wines and the waitress customized my dessert with fig biscotti paired with Vin Santo.
In one week, we dined at Canlis, Ruth's Chris, Cafe Juanita, The Georgian, The Herbfarm, The Barking Frog, and The Book Bindery, and Cafe Juanita was BY FAR our best experience. The food, service, cost to value, and location (proximity to our home on the Eastside) were all so superior to its competitors that it remains the one location that we are literally comping at the bit to go back! Now, just for patience for truffle season! ;-) Thank you, Cafe Juanita! Thank you Clayton (best server in Seattle!)!!!!
Friendly staff and excellent food keep us coming back.
We went out to our standby good restaurant and we were not disappointed. The starter with grilled peaches with fresh mozzarella was wonderful and my rabbit as always was delicious. Great way to celebrate
A hidden gem that not enough people know about. The Chef is wonderful, if you're gluten free just call ahead and let them know - most things (including pasta) can be made gluten free. Delightful, delectable, beautiful.
Finally, our first real food experience (outside of Chicago & Milwaukee) in Seattle. Bravo, fantastic flavors and textures. Waiter Clayton was simply a delight. Service was polite, timely and abundant. As long as this remains under the current Chef/Owner, we will make this a regular experience and send everyone we know that appreciates the culinary arts.
There was a problem with our table, so they compt us some bubbly while they setup another table, what grate service!!
Went with my wife on date night and had a wonderful dinner with Aperitif, Appetizer, Primo and Secondo. Food was great! Ambience was good, however our table was very small for the amount of plates, glasses and bottles and it felt a little cramped. We ordered a bottle of red which was amazing and a glass of white. However the white was served nearly at the same time with the Aperitif (Prosecco) and we had to ask for the red to be served.
Fantastic service topped off a night of excellent food, delicious wine and a gorgeous ambiance. A gem in a quiet neighborhood this place is well worth a visit.
Celebrated my wife's b-day. Great French/Italian menu
This was the by far one of the best meals I've had in a long time. From the bread service to the proseco and parm, panzenella salad with grilled sardine and the melt in your mouth gnocchi...oh and the beef cheeks and scallops. It was all amazing! The service was like no other, Karin is the best! She was so knowledgble about the food and wine list. We weren't in the mood to make many decisions after a long day at work and Karin paired everything perfectly. I can't wait to go back again very soon.
This is one of our favorite places in the Seattle area. The food and service is always top-notch.
Have wanted to go to Cafe Juanita for years. All the rave reviews are well deserved. The food was fabulous, although there were a couple items on the menu (octopus, beets, foie gras) that aren't my taste there was plenty of other items to choose from. Because this was our first wedding anniversary dinner, the staff went out of their way to make the whole night special. What especially appreciated was that I wasn't made to feel guilty or inferior because we didn't drink wine or alcohol that evening. Oftentimes other restaurants seem to give lesser service when you don't order alcohol. Since we couldn't return to Maui (where we got married last year), dinner at Cafe Juanita was a fabulous substitute.
Parking is limited and driveway a little hard to see, otherwise everything was great.
My husband and I had a wonderful time at Cafe Juanita. We were a little intimidated by the reputation and the menu but our server was so kind and knowledgable we quickly dove in with gusto. All the food was beyond amazing- hard to even describe you must taste it. The restaurant is nestled amone trees so out every window you see gorgeous large trees that contibuted to a laid back dining experience. Cannot wait to go back. We had the veal sweetbreads, pheasant egg with sturgeon caviar to start. For our main entrees we had the rabbit and bolognese tagliatelle. Delicious! Honestly things I may have been nervous about trying if not for the reputation of the quality of food.
This restaurant continues to be our favorite. For people who have an appreciation for excellent food made by chefs who care about quality, who like excellent service, who enjoy fantastic wine...this is the place for you. I tried the grilled peaches with a creamy tasting cheese that was delicious; it was far from the normal grilled peaches I've had elsewhere. It was rich so I did have to share a few bites with my husband. The sweetbreads were excellent, per my husband; he orders them on each visit. The panzanella salad was excellent. The Bolognese was also excellent; we order a small size and split it. The beef cheeks were so tender and flavorful...perfection. My husband had rabbit which was wonderful. Apple sorbet and Panna Cotta yum!
We really enjoyed our dinner at Cafe Juanita. The food was very well prepared, fresh, local and organic. The service was exactly what it should have been for a restaurant of this caliber knowledgeable, subtle, and smooth. I would definitely recommend Cafe Juanita as a great place for a special occasion.
You really can't beat Café Juanita as far as restaurants on the Eastside are concerned. How much you will spend will largely depend on how many dishes you order and how expensive of a wine palette you have. If you are unsure about the wine, you will find Kyle invaluable as he can recommend something in any price range and tell you anything you could ever want to know about it. If you have not had the pleasure of dining here yet, you are really missing out.
It is always a first-class experience to dine a Café Juanita, from the fireplace to the service to the creative ingredients and imaginative food presentation.
Excellent. We sampled several seafood dishes each perfectly prepared and beautiful. The scallop dish is outstanding.
This was my 5th or 6th visit to Cafe Juanita and as always it surpassed all expectations. I flew my Mom in from Michigan for her birthday and she loved it. I had actually just eaten here for my birthday a few days prior and loved it myself. One of the few best restaurants in the Seattle area in my opinion. Zach
Café Juanita is always a delight. The memory of each dinner stays with you for months. The gnocchi made with goat cheese melts in your mouth. Definitely ask for the tomatoes with it. The rabbit is always a standout. Last night the scallops were perfection. The risotto with wine reduction is delicious. The servers are attentive and helpful without being overbearing. Jim is the epitome of excellence in serving. Truly all the staff seem to be there to make the guests feel special. The chef prepared a special dessert for my mom's birthday and wrote her name in chocolate across the plate. What more can I say? They made her day.
Celebrated our 21 wedding anniversary and the food was fabulous.
Absolutely fantastic dinner! Yes, you pay highly for it, but you get what you pay for. Thanks for the fantastic meal!
Easily the top restaurant in Kirkland and one of the best we've ever been to The service is great and you have to get the rabbit!
One of our favorite places in Seattle. Worth the drive.
Thank you to Holly Smith and the staff at Cafe Juanita for a FANTASTIC birthday dinner on Friday night! We enjoyed the always delicious food and great service and atmosphere. This is exactly what going out to dinner is all about. Your excellence is something that all Seattle restaurants should be striving to achieve and why you are at the TOP!
This is our new special-occasion place, and we've only visited twice but both times everything was delicious and perfect. My duck breast was perfectly cooked and served with a layer of skin/fat so tasty that I was almost able to ignore how unhealthy it probably was. I also love that the superior service begins long before you arrive: the restaurant calls the day before to confirm the reservation and ask about special occasions, and the woman I spoke with knew that our previous visit had been to celebrate an anniversary so they're clearly keeping our visits on file. Great experience from beginning to end!
Goat Cheese Gnochi was at absolute top of the High Culinary Art Pinnacle. Sommelier/Wine Director Kyle is at top of the world case game, as well.
I was my fiances birthday i took her to cafe juanita and it was great. The drinks were amazing the food was so delicious and the place was great. they even gave her a little taste of their amazing sorbet on the house
Four of us. We each ordered different appetizers, salads, and entrees, and shared. Without question, a number of home run items on the quite varied menu (our entrees included rabbit, duck, and the lamb). Outstanding wine list. Our wallets were much lighter, but overall this was an outstanding dining experience.
Cafe Juanita is a perennial favorite but never loses it's quest for new approaches. Largely a perimeter-style layout with cozy-ish table placement. Service was attentive, though our server was not particularly engaged. The food was excellent. Grilled octopus appetizer was very good, though the green sauce had perhaps a bit too much oil. Lamb and duck were both cooked perfectly and bedded on deliciously firm slices of turnip. Don't know exactly what they did to the turnip but it was terrific - which is saying something for turnip and a credit to the chef! Great selection of northern Italian wines at good prices. Highly recommended.
I have eaten at Cafe Juanita several times. In my humble opinion, it's as close to a Canlis level meal as you can get on the Eastside. The food, the ambience, the service are all terrific. We had a delightful meal for 3 in front of the fireplace. The nicest table in the restaurant this time of year. I highly recommend the Goat Cheese Gnocchi. We also had the Rabbit Braised and the Saddle of Lamb. Both were excellent. I had the Wagyu Beef special which was extremely tender and tasty. Dessert included Bittersweet Chocolate and Huckleberry Crostata and the Zuppa Inglese. All in all, we had a delightful meal. It's easy to fall in love with Cafe Juanita.
We had a great experience food excellent service great too all in all exceeded expectations.
We were underwhelmed. We have had previous dinners at Cafe Juanita that have been wonderful. This time, the food was not what we expected or even disappointing in some cases. The veg sides were oversalted and overdone. The beef cheeks were 75 percent fat. The beet salad was dull. I loved our server though!
Cafe Juanita is my hands down favorite restaurant in the area, but Friday night it seemed a little off its game. The service was extremely slow. Unfortunately, my favorite waiter wasn't working that evening. There were times when I wasn't even sure if the waitress knew we we there. Our food was very good with the exception of the pumpkin dessert ( it was very dry). I wish it had been a better experience but I will be back.
We celebrated our first anniversary here, after having our rehearsal dinner prior to our wedding in their private room a year earlier. Wonderful place. We plan to make Café Juanita part of our anniversary tradition.
This is our favorite restaurant in Washington. The food is flavorful and fresh, the service is professional and attentive without overwhelming, and the wine list is excellent; we have never had a wine here that we did not like. Yet another successful meal.
We love the Cafe Juanita, but this evening found the menu pretty much the same as our previous visits. I regret that there is not a Caesar salad choice. When we were there, the pear anjou salad was not available so my choice instead was the kale salad which was extremely heavy with basalmic vinegar. The brussell sprouts were too salty for our palates. ( Yes, we were aware of the anchovies) We always order the rabbit which is delicious. We miss the putanesca pasta of years past. The pear sorbet was good, but grainy tasting. And, it would have been nice to perhaps have a mint garnish or something to perk up the presentation. .
you can never say enough nice things about Café Juanita. It is one of the best all around restaurant experiences in the Seattle metro. Period. We went for a special occasion dinner and were not disappointed. Faced with a very impressive wine list, we told the sommelier what we liked and what we were having for dinner, and he chose a wine for us that was splendid. The wait staff is the most considerate and least intrusive bunch of professionals in the business. You will spend money for your dinner here, but it is worth every penny.
I'm 57 and for 35 years have traveled the world as an airline pilot. That means I've eaten in a plethora of restaurants. My meal at Cafe Juanita ranks in the all time top 10 !
My wife and I wanted a great meal on one of our few nights we could find a babysitter, and Cafe Juanita delivered. Service was great from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Our server was helpful and there when we needed her -- and not there when we didn't. The food was amazing. The wine list is extensive but approachable. We are not wine experts so we appreciated the help we received and were able to get a good bottle of wine at a good price. This was out first time here but we hope to return.
Food is delicious and service is fantastic. A great place to celebrate a special occasion.
Cafe Juanita is a bit out of the way in kenmore, however The food , service, and overall ambience make up for the drive to get there. We were there for my husband's birthday and felt pampered from The moment we walked in. Chef holly smith has clearly trained her staff well. She wasn't there, but everything was Perfect anyway. Kale salad and squid ink risotto were our starters. Topped off with duck and branzino entrees. Finished plates removed quietly and quickly. Our comfort was Formost based on treatment by the staff. We plan to go back with parents to treat them too.

Size in Detail:
How to Select the Best Music Speakers:
The prospect of buying music speakers can be overwhelming because there are so many choices available. Speakers can even be installed underwater in your pool. If you're looking for high quality sound, you need to know how to select the best music speakers.- Listen to different models. The best way to find the best music speakers is to listen to your favorite music on a few different speaker models. Take a couple of your favorite CDs along when you shop
- Evaluate speaker quality. Sound quality varies depending on brand and model. Listen carefully to the music coming from each speaker. The sound should be a clear, natural sound with even tonal quality. This means the sound you hear coming through the speakers should closely resemble what it would sound like to hear the sound in person. Listen to each speaker more than once
- Match speakers with components. If you want to get the best sound quality from your speakers, you'll also need a complementary amplifier or receiver. An amplifier's power is measured in watts. Use this as a guide when matching the speakers with the receiver
- Choose speaker type. There are so many types of speakers available. There are in-wall and on-wall speakers, floor standing and satellite models. Floor standing and bookshelf models generally have the best sound quality because of construction of the enclosures. They're built for quality performance. Satellite speakers are small, which is beneficial if your space is limited. In-wall speakers are ideal because they preserve floor space and can be painted the same color as the walls to camouflage them
What Should You Look for When Buying Speakers:
Purchasing the right set of speakers requires the buyer to do a little bit of research and ask the right questions. From choosing the size of the cabinets and the amount of money you want to spend, to evaluating brands and models, there are many factors to consider. Do you need a giant set of Yamahas with a half-dozen sub-woofers, or will a set of mini speakers fit your apartment a little better? Here are some key things to look for when picking out the perfect speakers.
- Study the area where the speakers are going to be used. Is it a large space with high ceilings or a smaller area with walls to keep sound contained? Some stores will even allow you to take speakers home to test out in your particular environment. If your store offers that option and you have the time-try it. There's nothing like direct field-testing
- Decide what the speakers are primarily going to be used for. Are they mostly for playing music that will need to be heard throughout the house and yard or are they going to be utilized more for Surround Sound purposes with a home theater system? Remember, size does not necessarily matter where speaker systems are concerned---particularly in the 21st century. Many smaller "nano" systems can provide rich, high quality sound to almost any size dwelling
- Know that some places however are just too big for mini systems. In these cases, larger speakers containing sub-woofers (extra-mini speakers within each cabinet) are needed to keep the sound full, rich and flowing throughout a large area. Be cautious however, although you may want the biggest system on the block-remember your neighbors. They might not appreciate your booming bass as much as you do
- Try to get a feel for a full range of sounds and listen to a few different types of music. Does the sound remain clear throughout a song? Do the higher and lower tones remain crisp and without distortion? If you are iffy about any sounds in the range-move on and try other speakers. Your new set should sound perfect
- Make sure your speakers come with a decent manufacturer's warranty and find out as much as possible about installation and service after the sale. With today's complicated home entertainment systems, you need to know what you are doing when you leave the store and that someone will be available to answer your questions when you run out of answers

Outside, these things are just amazing. They look cool, charge up quickly and use a standard mini-USB. And the mini speaker is very clear and sweet. It is also a USB speaker and a iPod speaker! You can play the song in your iPod by the speaker anytime you like!

I'm sure there are better quality, similarly-sized speakers but I'm happy with Mini Speaker for the price; they are a good value.

Following months of investigations with the help of Mica staff and a lots of hard work, the new Mainlys of Trowbridge Mica opened just in time for Easter. Not only did the Henrichs time it carefully to coincide with the distribution of their first Mica promotion leaflet, they arranged for the town crier to announce the official opening of the store.
Clare Henrich said: "We opened with a good response from the local people. Takings are good and have increased every day, so we are very pleased that all our hard work - well, mainly Colin's! - has paid off."
The new store has all the key departments: hardware, tools, power tools, gardening, housewares, decorating, plumbling and electrical.
Mica retail development manager Robin Page was full of praise for the new store: "It looks great, we've worked together to maximise the store layout to generate most revenue, got a great fascia on the front and filled it with some great products from Mica suppliers, thanks also to those who've supported us with stands, PoS etc".
Mica ceo Steve Ball added: "The news of a second 'from scratch' new Mica store in the last six months, following Denham Mica DIY in the run up to Christmas, is great news not only for Colin and Clare personally, who I congratulate for their entrepreneurial spirit, but also for Mica, displaying growth both inwardly and externally to the market and our supplier partners.
"It is also good news for the sector as a whole. Having a vehicle for setting up new stores, based on Mica's strengths of marketing, buying and retail development is showing the potential of the independent sector."

This is great news to hear with all the economic gloom that is pushed in our direction on a daily basis.
All the best to Clare and Colin!

Breaking Bad
John Prine is simply one of America's greatest living songwriters. He's also apparently in grave danger. Says country singer Kris Kristofferson, "He's so good, we're gonna have to break his fingers." Yikes! Here's hoping the security is beefed up when Prine plays the Flynn MainStage in Burlington this Friday, April 19.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Bell will play the star attraction in a steamy Los Angeles nightclub who goes over the edge when an ambitious small-town girl (Aguilera) with a big-town voice suddenly gets the spotlight. Already cast are Cher as the nightclub owner and Stanley Tucci as the man who helps turn Aguilera from a country bumpkin to a flamboyant bombshell. Shooting begins Nov. 9, with a Thanksgiving 2010 release date scheduled.
This could be the dramatic breakout that Bell needs; her career arc hasn't exactly been all that impressive. After playing pretty girls on a host of TV shows, she earned raves and a legion of fans with 'Mars,' playing the tube's most beautiful detective for four years. But aside from the well-received 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall,' since then she's appeared in mostly by-the-numbers rom-coms, awful horror movies ('Pulse') and little-seen indies ('Fanboys,' 'Fifty Pills'). Hopefully 'Burlesque' will give the petite actress a better opportunity to show off her talents.

Comments about Lenmar� Cell Phone Battery; 3.7V, Fits LG 210, 225, 325, 535, 1000, 3200, 3280, 3300, 3400:
Although advertised to replace the original phone battery (1100 amp), this has less talk time and power (only 900 amp). It's fine for back-up or emergency use but I wouldn't recommend it as a primary power source. Charging is slow and uneven, and shipping takes forever. Additionally, the manufacturer doesn't seem to care about customer service, which is concerning. There were multiple problems ordering this battery. The customer service on this purchase was for the most part poor.
Not what you think it is
By Batteryd
Though advertised as a "replacement," Lenmar should be forthcoming that this is not the 1100 amp battery that comes with your phone. It's a 900 amp, which means it has much less time on it and must be frequently recharged. Also, this recharges quite slowly. It's good for emergency backup but wears down quickly for primary use.

The wind tunnel operates continuously as a closed cycle facility with adjustable pressure and temperature level for independant variation of Mach and Reynolds number. The flow medium (dried air) is driven by a 4-stage radial compressor with a variable speed electric motor and equipped with an additional bypass valve. In order to maintain a constant temperature in the system a water cooled heat exchanger is installed downstream of the compressor. Part of the air can bypass the heat exchanger in order to achieve elevated temperatures at test section inlet.
Some wind tunnel performance data are listed below:
Before the fluid reaches the test section it passes a settling chamber with grids and honeycombs to straighten the flow. Different test sections serve to investigate flow fields on cylindrical stream surfaces as well as on conical ones. Smaller changes to the annular flow channel are carried out by exchangeable liner rings. The figures at bottom show the cylindrical test section with a turbine stage installed.
The speed-control of the test rotor is provided by an electric motor/generator which allows driving or braking in both circumferential directions. The flow conditions in the relative system are determined by the circumferential velocity of the rotor as well as by the pressure difference due to the windtunnel compressor.
Typical rotor data are listed below:
The testing capabilities comprise steady temperature and pressure measurements, measurements of unsteady pressures, measurements of the pressure distribution within the rotating system, wake flow measurements by different probes, Laser velocimetry and the determination of heat transfer.Stage performance is determined by the simultaneous measurement of rotor torque, rotor speed, upstream, downstream pressures, temperatures and mass flow.

Horrible Product

This product arrived torn in several places. It does not stay on the table, slips off before you can get it around. Parts of the table cloth were already fading. Horrible purchase.

iPhone-o-Gram! Dulles Bound!
My flight to Washington/Dulles was delayed 1.5 hours and there was no other way to route me ((holiday weekend!)) so I'm missing my next connection to Greensboro and will have to spend the night near DC.
That's okay. Just give me a bed and a quiet place to sleep off my jetlag and I'll be fine!
The eternal hexies are ready to go. I've made quite a bit of progress on this last section, but still not close to done!
My seat on this flight is not first class, but I am happy with the extra legroom!
Off we go!

Bonnie, welcome home! I hope your trip all the way home is uneventful from here on.
Thank you for all you do and I have traveled to Bali vicariously through you. I only wish that I could have been with you in person. My husband isn't much on traveling to far-off places but last night I told him we need to start saving for a trip like this. He said he thought it would be really interesting to see how batik fabric is made, how people in other parts of the world live, and to see their cultures. He has been hearing about your trip all week! Once again, thank you for all your interesting and heartfelt posts. I have learned so much.
Sue @ asdfwordpro . com - Anonymous6:22 PM EDT
Good evening and welcome home to the USA. I really enjoyed your trip. Being vertically challenged is sometimes a godsend, but I do love the exit row seats! Safe travels and slumbering, my friend. Maybe you will get to see the Once in a Blue Moon, moon during your flight. We have clouds and showers in our neck of the woods.
Suzanne in Maine - Anonymous6:53 PM EDT
Bonnie, please tell us you have a "Batik Bonanza" quilt planned for us. The next mystery quilt maybe? What better use for all those batik scrap bags you found early on in your trip!
ReplyDeleteRepliesI was thinking the SAME thing!~ I purchased a shirt today at Goodwill. Says handmade, it has sea turtles on it. Blue. I was thinking, "I sure hope Bonnie does another mystery quilt soon". I have not joined in on one yet, and I'm really looking forward to it. Bonnie, I've looked at your blog off and on for ages, but I've been so geographically challenged that i didn't have much internet svc, etc. So, I'm FINALLY in a position to actually IMPLEMENT some of your ideas and I'm having so much FUN!~ Then, there's Quiltcam!~ wow! I
I am so glad you are home. I can not even imagine how tired you must be. I"m glad you are spending the night in a nice, cold, dark hotel room. Don't you love how you can make it dark with the curtains and it's so cold?!?! I do anyways. May you have a nice HOT , steamy shower and fluffy towels. You will feel so much better in the morning.
forgot to tell ya to look at Minick & Simpson blog post today. Indigo wovens, IKATS,etc. So glad that I'm doing a more affordable route to get my pretty fabrics now.
Air travel gets worse on an almost daily basis. My poor DH has to travel on business occasionally and what used to be a fairly routine/direct flight now is a compilation of regional airlines who don't seem to really care about arriving on time. Anyway ... you're back in the USA and home isn't that far away. Thanks for the tour of Bali ... I woke up each morning and with my cup of tea in hand enjoyed your posts. Job well done!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie for taking us "armchair" travelers with you. A lot of extra work for you but much appreciated on this end.
It looks like an amazing trip.....one that will change your life in some positive ways. Your descriptions and personal thoughts were great. Loved not only the batik process, but the temples, animals, people etc....and sunrise shots.
There's a lot to be learned from the people there.....starting with gratefulness. I can't imagine how my life would change if three times a day (or even once) I stopped for a moment and was grateful for my life and everything in it. I think I shall try.
Rest up, you deserve it. Thanks again!

The JFK myth v reality
The assassination of John F Kennedy means that we all get to decide how his story should have ended, and thus plot an alternative trajectory for the country he so fleetingly led. The events in Dallas exactly 50 years ago made JFK as much a myth as a man, one of history's most endlessly malleable figures.
He was a politician "cut down in his prime", in the words of the well-worn narrative, whom Americans and others around the world could mould into the president they yearned him to be.

Double standard: NFL vs MLB
Rolen question unanswered
John Fay, Enquirer
I'm hearing now that Rolen wants to play.
That tells me the issue may be money. The Reds are at or above their budget for payroll. The Reds obviously can't pay Rolen what he made last year ($6.5 million). How much can they pay? I have no idea. But given the way they've deferred money, the budget is tight.
It's risky for Reds to switch things up
Jerry Crasnick, ESPN
The Cincinnati Reds made one of the most provocative moves of the Major League Baseball offseason without spending a dime or cracking the cover of a Scott Boras promotional binder. After an extensive internal debate in October, they decreed that Aroldis Chapman will move from the back end of the bullpen to the starting rotation, where they hope he will blossom into must-see viewing in installments of six innings or more.
Over/under: Aroldis Chapman's IP/ERA
Will the move work? As a reliever, Chapman could just rear back and fire his 100-mph heater past helpless hitters. He threw his fastball 88 percent of the time last year, mixing in a slider. Some will say he'll need to add a third pitcher, but that's not necessarily true if he can command his fastball. The obvious comparison is Randy Johnson, who made a pretty good living as a fastball/slider guy.

Double Standard
I was watching MLB Network Hot Stove yesterday and though baseball writer Ken Rosenthal made an interesting comment. He said he's disappointed by the lack of media scrutiny and coverage of drug/PED violations when it comes to NFL players compared to MLB players. He went on to discuss the double standard he sees. Do you agree? If so, why? I'll spend some time on this Thursday night.

UC basketball
Bearcats can ride Jackson's momentum
Paul Dehner Jr, GoBearcats.com
For a moment, Justin Jackson disappeared. Not theoretically, as in from the offensive rhythm or from the rotation. Rather, from view. Of most everyone.
In a second attempt to improbably save a ball off a rebound, he ended up somewhere between the visitor's locker room in the basement and Nippert Stadium.
As his teammates recovered to retain a valuable possession late in the 64-56 victory against Rutgers on Wednesday night Jackson finally emerged, trotting out from deep behind the stands with a smile stretching ear to ear.
Not making this up
I got this tweet when the UC game ended last night:
"where do you think the cats would be if Andy Kennedy got the job? I like Mick but i thought Andy should have got the job.."
The UC fans that cling to the past sure are missing a fun time in UC basketball's present.

While Dayton's starting lineup was introduced Wednesday night, Xavier students held up full-color pictures of all six of those United States Presidents. At tip-off, they chanted "Jimmy Carter."

With at least 12 games left in his college career (barring injury), Cooper is on pace to become the only player in the history of Division I college basketball to collect 2,000 points, 900 assists, 500 rebounds and 300 steals. On the surface, it seems to be a record that should've been reached at some point in the past 100 years. But no. Stop and think about those numbers, then realize Cooper is listed -- listed -- at 6 feet tall.
It's stupendous.

Hamilton says confidence the key to swiping bases
Lexington Herald Leader
"My main goal is to get on base and, if I can get on base, I can steal bases. So last year was a big part of me stealing and switch-hitting. I feel like I came a long way switch-hitting."
Hamilton, 22, was selected by the Reds in the second round of the 2009 draft, 57th overall. Out of Taylorsville (Miss.) High School, he chose the Reds over playing wide receiver for Mississippi State University.

Hue Jackson apologizes for introducing Rey Lawis to S.W.A.T
Baltimore Sun
"Ray is one of the greatest football players to ever play the game," Jackson said. "This kind of thing should never happen to him. He doesn't deserve it. It's not fair. This is not about talking about a relationship that he met a guy a few years back. It should be about him trying to win the most important game of all this season. Ray means the world to me. Ray has spoken his peace and I stand behind him 100 percent."
Jackson no longer endorses Ross' supplement products, at the request of the NFL.
