Restaurant help in Calgary Please
- g
- grannieanniebooks Jul 18, 2003 08:22 PM
My husband and I will be arriving in Calgary in August and have never been there before. It is part business and part fun.
Not knowing anything about the restaurants, we sure would appreciate any info regarding good, clean, fun restaurants.
The food type does not matter. We just want good food for a good price.
A great view would be nice if possible. I have been reading the AAA/CAA book and have found a couple of choices but still not sure about them.
We would love small, family owned business where the local Calgarians might eat.
Your help is truly appreciated. Thank you.
The writer lives in Calgary, but I suggest you consider an easy drive south to Okotoks, a bedroom community about 15 miles south on Hwy #2 -- particularly in summer. There you will find a pretty good place Cafe Divine, right along the main street -- good choice of salads, sandwiches etc. for lunch. Another place would be the local golf club, D'Arcy Golf and Country Club, open to the public, simpler lunch menu, pleasant outlook to the west toward the mountains -- I know the view won't do it, but the food and service are also good. A little more upscale is La Petite Table, French bistro style, also along the main street.
re: JJD Calgary
Thank you for your reply. What do you mean the "author" lives in Calgary?
re: grannieanniebooks
I don't think I said 'author' -- I believe I said 'The writer lives...' -- Just showing off my fancy formal writing style -- picked up from the days when 'The New Yorker' never used the first person singular -- it was always, 'When so&so was interviewed recently, the reporter learned...'

Head downtown Calgary for Buchanans or a nice romantic spot on the river at the Riverside Cafe on princes island. Excellent Italian at Zefferellis in Kensington and awesome Ethiopian at Marathon Ethiopia in Kensington as well. For an upscale but well worth dinner try The Ranch in Fish Creek park.
Here are some places to try. Calgary can be hit or miss, but there is some great food in wonderful environs.
Must- or should-do's: The River Cafe one evening; also the patio at Cilantro for a cool respite. Walk down the Stephen Avenue mall one weekday lunchtime with a shish taouk purchased from Falafel King on 1st St and grab a bench. Go to The Blackfoot Farmers' Market on Friday or Saturday mornings and buy some fruit and have some homemade perogies. A coffee and muffin at Caffe Beano on 17th Ave and 9th St SW. Family-style dinner at the Living Room. Have dinner at the bar at Brava Bistro or at Divino, Calgary's hottest new restaurant. BUY SOME WINE at a local wine store; Metro Vino is my favourite. Have Chinese one night at the Harbour City in Chinatown and order lobster. Go to Sandro Pizzeria on Edmonton Trail for lunch. Go to the Skylark Restaurant in Forest Lawn, or to Maurya for Indian food. Drink too many mojitos at the Latin Corner.
I just returned from a family vacation in Calgary (downtown) .I can highly recommend "The Catch" on Stephens Ave.if you like seafood!We supported the Alberta beef industry too when we had an excellent meal of CCA beef at the "Saltlik" which is kitty corner to "The Catch". You should check if reservations are needed. If your hubby likes beer with his steak I found the local "Honey" draft very satisfying.I think both places have outdoor patios if you want to watch the world go by!Great city ,fantastic food!
Check out Avocados Grill. You'll find it one of the best Mexican influenced restaurants in Calgary! www.avocadosgrill.com
re: y2gabs
i think if you search for mexican in calgary in this board, you'll find that being 'one of the best mexican influenced restaurants in Calgary' is rather faint praise. Having said that, IMHO, Avocado's grill isn't even near being one of the city's better mexican offerings.
re: y2gabs
If you like Taco Bell in a nicer restaurant go to Avacados Grill...If you like real, delicious mexican food go to 1. Salt & Pepper 2. El Sombrero in that order.
re: Major_9000
I wouldn't suggest Salt and Pepper, it wasn't great when I was there last ( that being said, it could have improved or been an off night.
re: Major_9000
I think the Salt and Pepper in Bowness is way better than the one on MacLeod Trail, if you have a choice definitely go to the one on Bowness Road
re: geckogirl
This may be the case. We haven't been to the one on MacLeod Trail for years but go occasionally to the one in Bowness and it's good if not spectacular. Last time we were there it seemed there was a new owner but the menu seems unchanged. 'Last time' could be as long ago as last winter so this isn't current news.
re: sharonanne
The owner is still the same (Alex - formerly of the Red Iguana and Baha Bistro). However, he has moved out to the west coast with his family. He still comes into town occassionally. The main thing to remember about Salt & Pepper is that the food is Guadalaharan not Tex-Mex or other more common Mexican.
As others have said, River Cafe and Maurya. On the right summer evening, in the right light, the River Cafe is as magical a place to eat as any place in North America--the river, the trees, the lights of the skyline--unforgettable. And the food can be absolutely first rate too. I always head straight there on arrival in Calgary. Also really really good, as stated above, is Saltlik. Great Canadian wines (no that's not an oxymoron, believe me) and, for me, the best steak in town. As for small, family owned businesses, I would say Co Do on 17th is my favorite Vietnamese anywhere. And whatever you do, no matter what anybody tells you, skip The Catch.

Indeed it is!!

Today is the most stressful day of my week!!
Indeed it is!!

That is a very very good plan :)ReplyDelete
OMG! The camera thing is a great idea! But you'll be okay. Stay strong!ReplyDelete
I agree, love the camera idea. Hope the day turns out to be less stressful than expected for you.ReplyDelete
That is a very good idea to take your camera! You are amazing that you can work in a donut shop and stay sane. LOLReplyDelete
Good idea to take your camera. Make yourself take a picture of the evidence...before and after!! Forcing you to look at it over and over again!ReplyDelete
That said...I hope that your day goes well!
That's the idea of my blog, if I do go astray, still blog it and remember how I felt and why I went astray. Also knowing people read my blog and will know what I've done.ReplyDelete
You can do it!!ReplyDelete
Something I try - 1) read the nutritional stats first - that often gets me to put something down; and 2) think and concentrate on how I will feel if I eat that vs. if I don't.
Both of these work more often than not for me.
Plan plan plan....Take quick easy snacks with you so that you don't have the donuts that will satisfy you...pre-cut fruit, veggies, cheese strings, etc.ReplyDelete
This way you can "control" your binge.
The camera is a great idea as well, although coming from another binger....I usually "forget" to take pics if I am off track...so much for accountability right?
Best thing to do is stay in control and accept that bingeing is not an option :)
Good luck!
Yea! I love the preperation to avoid the binge. I love the awareness you have of the stress the day traditional brings, and I love the planning your do to avoid it. That is a text book step by step guide for success. WELL DONE!!!ReplyDelete
you can do eeet!!!ReplyDelete
eat the hole - not the donut!
Excellent plan! It's hard to cope with all that damn stress in your work environment. I fully salute you on your daily victories!ReplyDelete
That is such a great plan and keeping yourself accountable too. Good luck!ReplyDelete
You have to deal with one of the greatest temptations most of us have...EVERYDAY!ReplyDelete
Gotta have a plan, Stan....great work!
LOL..Tamzin's eat the hole not the donut :)
Yea, you don't want to report that you ate donuts, because then the rest of us will think its ok for us to eat donuts and then... do you see the big mess and weight gain problem it could lead to!ReplyDelete
great thinking ahead......by the way I love the new blog look :)ReplyDelete
Hi there fellow A-Teamer. I'm a stress eater too. At least you are able to identify and have a plan in place. Good luck during the BLBE challenge.ReplyDelete
*sigh* if I had a dime everytime I told someone to "eat the hole" I'd be a really rich woman!ReplyDelete
I would have a hard time working that close to temptation - good for you for being able to control that!ReplyDelete
I hope you did really well last night!

Spinach Salad with Pears and Raisins
Open a bag of prewashed spinach leaves; add raisins, pears and onions for a very quick salad fix.
California Raisin and Orange Salad
Crunchy romaine and fennel contrast orange and raisins in a citrus dressing.
California Raisin Peanut Butter Spread
Just 2 tablespoons make a quick, healthy snack if there's a jar of this in the fridge. Great for lunches.
Mangrias with Malbec, Rum, Mangoes and Key Limes
Frozen cubes of mango float in a wine-rum concoction that's a perfect spring libation.
Spring Fruit Compote
Berries, pineapple and dried apricots meld in a light syrup of Grand Marnier or orange juice.
Red Apple Salad with Oranges and Feta
Citrus, apples, cheese and arugula bring magic flavors to the salad bowl.
Pear Salad with Cranberries and Pecans
Make this fragrant salad in early fall when pears are at their best.
Cilantro Pesto
Unlike the classic basil pesto, this cilantro-based version adds Southwestern flair to pastas and dips.
Heirloom Tomato Salad
Easy and delicious, this salad makes great use of the specialty tomatoes you'll find at your farmer's market.
Watermelon Gazpacho with Herb Oil
Juicy watermelon joins summer tomatoes in this classic chilled soup.
Celeriac and Apple Salad with Lemon Garlic Dressing
A different kind of slaw, with celeriac combining the crispness of cabbage and the flavor of celery.
Collard Green Salad
The zesty greens in this Southern-style salad are a rich, tasty source of vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe, after all we've projected,
A child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother's shawl -
Just a child -
Is this who we've waited for?
Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
All that we have, whether costly or meek
Because we believe.
Gold for his honor, and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he will suffer
Do you believe?
Is this who we've waited for?
How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Recently the White House referred to the Christmas tree as a holiday tree and it prompted Ben Stein to give this comment on the mater. Very interesting and worth a read.
I am a jewish, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu . If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.
I don't like getting pushed around for being a jewish, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God ? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Katrina).. Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'
In light of recent events… terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet?
My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,
Ben Stein

Your question was one directed at Casey Stoner at the end of 2010. We saw the answer throughout 2011.
As for Rossi, he might shuffle himself up a place or two on the M1, but let's face it, he doesn't have the skill set to ramp it up anymore than that now does he?
when he turns on one of his own soft yellow underbelly kind.
There's some very short sighted views on here. Some of them think a 9 times work champion loses his skills and grunt over night because he's on bike that doesn't behave.
I don't. The plain fact of the matter is others have advanced their riding skills beyond the means of Rossi. The man himself (to his credit) admits it. Only Oompa Loompa's keep their eyes and ears firmly shut. Then again it's especially hard to open a closed mind, and rather pointless when most of them are empty to start with.

wosi is just plain ol wosi Benny, I mean..Rev, Blood, Mandy, Flob, Hmmm..etc.
Nostro..Casey doesn't seem to have advanced his riding skills very much this year?
He's getting beaten by a man who's won nothing in MotoGP and many would say is a very lucky to still have an HRC seat after SEVEN years of failing to do what he's been handsomely paid for?
Do you think Dani would still have a job there if Honda were sponsored by..say Rothmans or FIAT?
No fawning, blatantly bias, orange fanboy retorts please..

Pedrosa has been in the running for the title in the last three years until rotten luck took him out;
2010. A mechanic error casued Pedrosa to crash and damage himself just as he was building momentum and pressure on Lorenzo as the season drew to a close
2011. A damn fool in a fright wig wiped him out with a ludicriously dangerous 'pass'. Pedro was right in the hunt at that point of the season.
2012. A pincer movement of stupidity by Race Direction and Barbera look to have scuppered this year too in all probability. Pedrosa could well have won four races on the bounce without that fiasco.
But nah, you don't rate a 19 times Motogp winner who still performs week in week out. You prefer to languish with your memories of a washed up old yellow clown and his halcyon days of beating up on Max, Marco and Sete with the help of Uncle Carmelo and Michelin.

I'll Give You A Conspiracy Theory
limit the purchases by the U.S. Government of ammunition based on a whacked-out conspiracy theory that the government is buying up all the ammo. The NRA said this was not true.
The NRA.
I have now had it with the crazed "government is coming to get us" thing from people who claim to be patriots.
It's dangerous to gin up people who are already prone to believe the worst of the government and whose common denominator is a love for weapons. It's bizarre for a Senator in a representative democracy to demonize the government.
Hey, Conspiracy Brother Senator ("climate change is a hoax!" "they're coming to get your ammo!"), you want a conspiracy theory?

Time for another mock draft from around the league.
This time, we hear from Matt Smith of NFL.com. He is seen on the website, and is a frequent contributor on the NFL Network as well, analyzing fantasy football. Well, he recently put out his second mock draft of the season, and his choice for the Jets is a familiar one…
The Jets need a receiver, but there is some talent in the free-agent pool this year, not to mention depth in this draft. Geno Smith just needs pass catchers, and Ebron is the second-most talented one of those in the draft behind Sammy Watkins. Ebron offers good value and fills a major need.
The Jets certainly wouldn't go wrong with this choice. Ebron is some playmaker! Watching him go up the seam for a Geno Smith pass could be an exciting play to watch for years to come.
The major question at this point in the process is whether or not Ebron will still be around for the Jets at number 18. Eric excelled this past week at the combine, and upped his stock to the point where he might very well go before the Jets have a chance to pick.
If he does make it to eighteen, I don't see him making it further.

SCD Phase One: Spinach Meatballs
I wouldn't call the Specific Carbohydrate Diet's "intro" stage a necessarily delightful experience. Living off of meat and broth with not a trace of chocolate to be seen isn't my idea of a happy stomach.
Phase 1 is better:
Everything you've eaten on intro, plus five different kinds of squash and some spinach. Crazy variety (not).
I tell ya, by now I've consumed enough carrots and butternut squash to turn me orange. I could use a good bowl of spinach.
If you're weird, like I profess to be, you might actually like spinach cooked into a bitter, flavorless mush.
Otherwise, you probably have properly-functioning taste buds, which know better than to consent to such a horror. Enter, meatballs! I love meatballs like crazy.Phase 1 Spinach Meatballs
- ~1/4 cup to 1 cup of spinach
- ~One pound of beef
- Salt and pepper to your heart's desire
You're supposed to either bake or grill your food on phase 1, and these would work with either method. You can also cook them in a pan, if you aren't adhering religiously to SCD cooking styles. Just roll them into your desired size and pop them into your desired cooking appliance. Cooking time will vary depending on what you're doing. Just don't leave the general vicinity. Serving suggestion: serve over "zucchini noodles."
How to Make Zucchini Noodles Two Ways (Without a Spiralizer!)
Unless you want your zucchini to look like this wrinkly old thing:
Or you're going to stick it in a food processor, I wouldn't recommend freezing zucchini. At least, not if you plan on noodling it.
Messy, messy.
Not that I just stuck a zucchini in the freezer. My fridge froze, because it's lame like that.
Soo, I have this new-found obsession with spaghetti squash. Although it hints of sweetness, it's not quite so sweet as butternut squash. Topped with tomato sauce and meatballs, it was just about as good as normal spaghetti. Mixed with beef broth and some add-ins, it made a pretty awesome Saimin. It's like it was born specifically to serve my pasta needs.
I took pasta for granted while I could eat it. Now I can't, although I do love spaghetti squash about as much. Unfortunately, in the earlier stages of the diet, my phasing chart specifically says: "No spaghetti squash!"
Despite being a fan of noodles, I'm pretty keen on the idea of replacing pasta bases with vegetables. The only awesome way I've seen for making veggie-pasta is with a spiralizer. Well, I haven't got a spiralizer.
Zucchini Noodles Two Ways (Spiralizer-free!)
With a peeler or–if you're of the reckless sort–a knife, peel your zucchini. This step can be overlooked, but the earlier phases of SCD require peeling.
That's what it'll look like, about. Mine is hideous because my lame refrigerator froze.
Method One:
Method one makes a thin lasagna noodle of sorts. Just continue peeling until there's nothing left. If you find it difficult to peel the last bits, save them for another recipe, or use method two.
Method Two:
Using a knife, cut the zucchini into thicker slices. Then cut those slices into thin fries. If you really have the time to spare, you can cut it to the size of spaghetti, but I think the zucchini would mush before that. Mine were pretty thick noodles, but they did the job.
There! That's the finished (uncooked) product of both methods.
Cooking Either Method:
Stick it in a pan at medium-high with a little water. Cover and cook for about five minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Be careful not to cook it for too long, or it will be a pile of slimy mushiness. Note that this won't be the exact texture of actual pasta.
See the zucchini and butternut squashes in the basket behind the stove? They're laughing over their good fortune.
Don't laugh too soon, squashes.
You're next.
Give the noodles a gentle stir once or twice throughout the cooking process, so that they cook evenly. When they're done, use a slotted spoon, or something of the like, to scoop them out of the pan.
Look at the noodleyness!
It even twists around the fork like pasta.
Question of the Week:
What's your favorite pasta substitute?
Mine is definitely spaghetti squash, though I'm quite fond of zucchini, butternut, and carrot noodles.
Life on the Road: FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do you go to school? Do you just find a school in every town you visit, or are you home-schooled?
Hehe. Yeah, we just enroll ourselves in a different school each time we move, which would be every day or two… Not really. All of my siblings and I–that is seven in all–have been home-schooled since I, the eldest, was born. Nothing really changed when we started the music mission, except the name. Instead of home-scholar, we are road-schooled road-scholars.
So your mother home-schools all of you herself? Are you all in the same classes?
The oldest children have most of our lessons either with just us and our mother, or we work on them alone. We call it "alone work." Otherwise, we all have science, history, poetry, and many other classes together.
What's your favorite school subject?
Science, writing, and poetry, definitely. (Did you know writing my book counts as schoolwork sometimes?) Also, ancient history, and sometimes math and language. I'm pretty fond of school when I'm not ultra-tired.
What will you do about college?
Not so fast! We're not in any rush! I'm planning on perhaps doing some college courses and tests here at home. I've learned that I can test out of college science classes using my high school course, Apologia. At some point, I would like to attend a real college, but there's no real hurry! My father went to college at twenty-nine, and he probably learned more in the real world.
What do you want to go to college for?
Business, so that I can run a ranch. Also, I'd like to go for music, English, and science.
What are you going to do when you grow up?
I'm not really sure anymore. I've wanted to be a variety of different things in the course of my life: chocolate shop owner, park ranger, stay-at-home mom, cave explorer, astronaut, nurse, Egyptologist, archaeologist, actress, enter the navy (I don't know where that came from). My first and strongest dream is never to ever get married, and run an equestrian center with my sister, Marissa. Now we're veering more towards a beef cattle farm, with horses to ride, while at the same time I'd be a writer, and she an artist, but if I feel God is going to call me to be a missionary in another country, I'm game. I've also wanted to be a doctor.
You left your home and everyone behind. Don't you miss your friends?
My siblings and I are each other's best friends! I will admit that we were slightly unsociable when we lived at home, and we children didn't really have any friends outside of the family. Marissa has a very close penpal that she writes, and I have a special email friend that I was lucky enough to be able to meet during the music mission. Now that we're on the mission, we've met many amazing people in the churches that we now count as friends!
So, you sleep in your van?
No, we sleep in the travel trailer that we pull behind it.
Is your trailer a storage trailer or a recreational vehicle?
An RV trailer.
Where does everyone sleep in that tiny trailer? You actually all fit in there?
There are four beds in the back, both of which are bunks. The four eldest girls sleep there. The couch flips into a bed for one little sister, and my brother sleeps on the table, which also turns into a bed. There's a queen-sized bed in the back for my parents, and my mother made a cozy little bed next to it for the baby. As for fitting, we fit quite nicely, compared to our old, smaller trailer.
How long have you been doing this?
We started in February, 2012, when we did three tours across the country that lasted until November. We were home for one last Christmas, and then in January, 2013, we left our house for good to live in our trailer full-time.
Where are you from?
This is a trick one. I was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I spent six or seven years in Las Vegas, Nevada, and lived in Pahrump, Nevada, until I was sixteen, when we gave up our house for good.
Where are you going next?
Oi. Answers may vary.
I don't know what CD to buy. Which one is your favorite?
Personally, I like the one that hasn't been released yet, but that's just my opinion. Happy buying!
Do you take checks? Credit cards? Cash?
Our awesome brilliantnesses accept all three. And bonus! If you donate ten dollars to my daddy's site, he'll give you a free CD!
How do you like living in a trailer all the time? Don't you miss your house?
Life in the trailer has brought a whole new meaning to the word "togetherness." We are very close to each other, literally and emotionally. This is the adventure of a lifetime; we're seeing more places than some people have seen in forty years of living! I will admit that sometimes the chaotic trailer life grinds on my nerves; sometimes I get tired, and I very much miss my bedroom, the piano, a couch that fits the entire family, nice bathrooms, and a great big kitchen with double ovens, and a large chunk of my heart was left in Nevada, but we're serving God through our mission, and He has blessed us beyond words.
What is your favorite place you've been?
Well, it changes every time. State-wise, at first it was Wisconsin, which quickly changed to Kentucky. That changed to Texas, then I liked Montana and Idaho, then Washington. But I must say that the most beautiful state by far is mid-southern Oregon, on the eastern side of the Cascades and near Crater National Park. I'm still holding out for a place that looks like south-eastern Oregon that immediately borders the ocean. Like, five minutes away. However, I can't limit it to states. I simply adored Yellowstone National Park and Yosemite National Park, and Bryce Canyon was pretty cool, too.
You mentioned that you have Crohn's Disease. Does that make it harder to live in a trailer?
Crohn's Disease makes it harder whether I'm living in a house, a trailer, a cardboard box, or a hobbit-hole in the ground. We keep my symptoms at bay with a healthy diet and only one medication.
Do you have a doctor that you visit regularly?
I have a wonderfully encouraging GI doctor in Las Vegas, who has offered to keep tabs on us until I'm eighteen, when I'll (sadly) have to switch to an adult GI doctor. We try to get in for a checkup once or twice a year, and usually that's enough.
What if you flare-up?
I've already had a small flare-up on the road, but my GI doctor has connections all over the country that can help me, so this time the Seattle Children's Hospital in Washington was glad to help out. When I do flare up, my diet is changed to a gentle, low-residue diet, which we're quite experienced with, and I'm free from concert roadie duty. Besides that, I have one grandma in California and another in Wisconsin, as well as a good many generous people spread throughout the country, of whom we met on the mission, who are always ready to help us.
How do you cook? Do you just eat fast food everyday?
Heavens, no! We have a tiny kitchen in our trailer, and my storing-experienced mother is good at making the limited storage space work for our large family. We have a little fridge, and a pantry in a hollow place under the queen bed.
Can we feed you?
Free food? Yeah, of course you can feed us. But my baby sister has dairy allergies, and for her sake my mother doesn't eat dairy, and my diet is very, very restricted as a result of Crohn's Disease, so please don't feel bad if the three of us have to sneak back to the trailer to eat our safe food.
What are your names?
I'm Hannah. Then Marissa, Elisabeth, Emily, Elijah, Rebecca, and Eliana. Kudos to you if you can remember that.
What do you do for fun?
We go hiking as a family when we're in an appropriate spot. Also, there are board and card games, toys for the smaller children, books, schoolwork, and Daddy even set up our Wii console! Marissa is an artist, and she brings her art bag everywhere, and we both write. I love to write.
What is your book about? (Yep, I'm actually asked that.)
It's a medieval fantasy, Lord of the Rings/Hobbit sort of book. That's all I can tell you in less than an hour.
So, the singer's your dad, right?
How many children are there? Is Marissa the oldest?
Seven of us. Six girls and one boy, of which I am the oldest. Marissa comes second.
(Occasionally, to me) Are you the mother?
You're funny…but I'd advise you never to say that again.
Only one boy? Poor kid! I bet he's really spoiled, huh?
Why is he poor? Is there something wrong with having sisters? And no, we're fairly equal as children. No one here, not even the much-deserving baby girl, is spoiled.
What are the ages?
Funny you should ask. We go oldest to youngest, or vise versa.
No, seriously; what's the age range?
It's difficult to say; they change every year. ;)
Do you kids fight a lot in such a small space?
There's hardly a child in the world who hasn't argued, or even fought, with one of their siblings at some time or other. We actually get along quite well, considering the circumstances.
Do you play any instruments?
We all play piano, while the younger ones are learning, and Marissa is getting pretty good at guitar.
Do any of you sing?
Some of us are pretty decent at it, Marissa in particular (she takes after Daddy in most respects). I only sing when I'm sure no one's listening.
Is it just your dad singing, or do you guys all get up there and sing with him?
It's just Daddy singing. We're his roadies, cooks, and housekeepers.
You guys should all get up on stage with him, like the Von Trapp Family Singers!
For one million dollars, I will oblige. Otherwise…as I said, only when no one's listening.
Or for chocolate. I will sing for chocolate.
Six Ways To Eat Greek Yogurt
First of all, I apologize for all of the spam comments. They come in large packages, and I haven't the time to delete every one of them. If they bother you too much, please send one-million dollars to my mailing address, and I promise I will keep them under control.
Greek Yogurt.
First question: Why is yogurt spelled three different ways? Obviously spell check doesn't know it.
Second: Why is it so stinking good?
It's so good, it makes my tongue sing, which, physically, is impossible, but Greek yogurt makes it sing anyway.
With the new eating plan I have taken up (The Trim Healthy Mama), sugar, honey, and other sweeteners that raise my glycemic index are illegal. (As are bananas, dried fruit, white potatoes, corn, and white grains, but who needs those?) Greek yogurt is a most brilliant must for dessert and, as a Crohnsie, I must eat a lot of it.
If you can eat dairy, a whole new door has been opened for you.
If you can't eat dairy, my condolences.
Lately I have become bored of the simple yogurt-and-fruit method and have turned over a new leaf: Yogurt with lots of stuff! (That's not actually what I called it.) All of my yogurty awesomenesses are simple enough that they need no oven, stove, or counter space, none of which I technically have. (I've mixed cookie dough on my bunk bed before.)
This post is way overdue:
Chocolate Yogurt (What it lacks in name, it makes up in chocolate): Greek yogurt, cocoa powder to taste, and either Truvia or stevia, also to taste. Depending on the fat level of your yogurt, and how much you eat, this is either an E, and S, or a fuel pull. You can top with Skinny Chocolate, which would make it an S meal. As an E, this is delicious on top of Trim Healthy Pancakes.
Peanut Buttery Yogurt: Full fat Greek yogurt, a tablespoon of peanut butter, Truvia or stevia to taste, a pinch of vanilla extract, and, optional, a splash of almond milk. This would be an S treat.
Fruitawesome Yogurt: Frozen thawed berries of choice (I recommend blueberries at least, but I've used raspberries and strawberries too) topped with Greek yogurt and sprinkled with Truvia or stevia, to taste. Optional: (It shouldn't be) Top with chunks of Skinny Chocolate. S with chocolate or full fat yogurt. Fuel pull without, if you use fat free yogurt.
Fruitelicious Yogurt: Not to be confused with Fruitawesome Yogurt. Add a very small teaspoon of the natural, plan-approved fruit spread of your choice to your low fat Greek yogurt and mix well. This would be an E.
Vanilla-Almond Yogurt: Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, Truvia or stevia, and a splash or two of almond milk. This would be either an S or Fuel pull, depending on the fat content of your almond milk and yogurt. Optional: Sprinkle with the crumbs of an on-plan cake, muffin, or cookie recipe, which are all over Pinterest.
And, last but not least is The One I've Never Actually Tried: Low fat Greek yogurt, Truvia or stevia to taste, vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, all to taste, and a spoonful or too of pureed pumpkin.
You are now well armed with plenty of recipes that taste well enough like ice cream without actually being it, and now have no excuse to be unhealthy. Unless you hate Truvia and stevia.
In which case, use honey or maple syrup. They're totally off plan, but they're better than sugar. Feel free to put any of these in an ice cream maker.
Question of the Hour:
I have none.
A Moment of Random Speach
Speech: How the Bagasao/Bautista children spent most of their time.
Small children are random.
Rebecca: Elijah's gross.
Hannah: (Because I'm nice enough to defend my brother ) Hey…You're gross sometimes, too.
Rebecca: Only sometimes. And I'm only selfish sometimes. *lowers her voice to an important whisper* Not like Cinderella's stepmother. She's selfish all the time.
And so ended that argument.
The last day awaiting the call from Google to tell Marissa her design won the 2013 children's contest.
Mother: I was so sure you would win, Nee.
Hannah: I was kind of thinking I would win, because Google's lame like that. (I have no artistic talent.)
Bean: I thought I would win, because I didn't want to.
The Extremists
From the extremes on both sides.
Elijah: It's a spaceship.
Rebecca: It's not a spaceship. It's an airplane with flowers and princesses.
From the mouth of Bean.
Mother: They announce the Google Doodle on the 23rd.
Bean: That's the day after this milk expires.
Bean: When I grow up, I'm going to go through all the corn mazes I can find.
Me: When I grow up, I'm going to be an old lady, because old ladies rock!
Bean: Ooh, I'm going to be an old lady too, so I can sit in a rocking chair and knit.
Mother: What is discord?
Bean: Unplugging cords.
Bean-isms: Things from the mouth of The Mighty Bean.
(Who also happens to be Galadriel.)
What's In a Name?
My name is Hannah Marie Bagasao, and I absolutely hate it.
I like Bagasao, frankly. It's unique, and since it was made up by my great, great, (or was it just one great? I can't remember!) grandfather, then anyone who sports the name is somewhat related to us. It's really quite awesome. I think I am the only Hannah Bagasao on earth.
But I could just as well be the only Anastasia Bagasao on earth, like my mother used to want.
The name Hannah is nice when other people have it, but it's too boring and common for me, with no interesting nicknames. Besides, I already have a cousin named Hannah, and it was her name first.
My name is not a part of me. It doesn't describe me, or fit me. It's only my name.
As for my middle name, it's my great grandmother's name. It's a very nice name, but it's my great grandmother's name. Not mine.
So, being a person who doesn't have a name of her own, and being a writer, and not really wanting to expose my name to the world, I decided to go by a pen name, for both my writing and my (probable) acting lives.
Did you know that tons and tons of famous writers and actors/actresses went by pen names?
Mark Twain, for example. His real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens.
Dr. Seuss (one of my personal favorite authors) is really Theodor Seuss Geisel.
J. K. Rowling, the famous writer of the Harry Potter series (which I have not yet gotten to reading) is really Joanne Rowling. She doesn't have a middle initial.
Lewis Carroll, of Alice in Wonderland, is really Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
Cary Grant is Archibald Alexander Leach.
Marilyn Monroe is Norma Jean Mortenson.
Buffalo Bill is William Frederick Cody.
John Wayne was born Marion Robert Morisson. (Poor guy.)
There are plenty more where those came from, but I'd be here forever if I named them all.
In choosing my own pen name, I wanted to include Daisy, somehow, in it. At first I thought of using Daisy Bautista, since Bautista is my father (Stephen Bautista)'s stage name. To learn more about the Bautista/Bagasao thing, read this.
I know that if I had been one of those unfortunate people who lost a family member that I had known, I would incorporate that into my name. But unfortunately, I've only lost four important creatures in my life: My grandfather, Ronald Bagasao, my grandmother's cat (who adored me), Moonlight, my little red fish, Molly, and my cockroach, Harry.
The death of Harry devastated me.
Naturally, Grandpa Ronnie was the most important of those, followed by Moonlight. But the name Ronald doesn't have many different versions. He had wanted one of us named Veronica, after him. But I'm not wild about that name, and I was making a pen name so that I would have a name I liked.
So I decided to use Moonlight.
But, unfortunately, one does not simply name oneself Moonlight. So I looked up different versions of the name.
I'm one quarter French (yippee!), so I considered Daisy Clair DeLune (clair de lune being French for moonlight). Or Daisy De La Luna (Spanish). Too presumptuous the ever logical (and all knowing ) Marissa said. Anyway, Clair De Lune is the name of a famous piano piece. I don't even remember what that one sounds like.
I didn't think they were that presumptuous. I'm sure there are real people with that name.
I considered Daisy Cheval (Cheval means horse in French.). I considered Rosalind Lamb, which was a pen name given to me by a fellow NaNoWriMo writer. Rosalind, because it means gentle horse (I love horses, and I'm known for being extremely gentle), and Lamb because my avatar was of Jesus holding a lamb.
I'd post that picture, but I don't have copyright.
I considered Daisy Bagasao, but no one can pronounce Bagasao. Try it.
Go on. Try it.
I considered H. M. Bautista, or H. M. Bagasao. But I didn't want anyone who read my books to know it was really me.
Gwendolyn is one of my favorite names. Gwen Bautista, or Gwendolyn Ross. (Ross, apparently, means horse in some language).
Jack Finley Geisel. J stands for J. R. R. Tolkien. A stands for A. A. Milne. C. stands for C. S. Lewis. (Apparently I like initial authors.) But that spells Jac. Obviously, I couldn't spell it incorrectly, so I added the K. for good measure. K. are the last letters of Chuck Black's, another favorite author, name.
Finley is for Martha Finley, Geisel for Dr. Seuss.
And in that name I've named all of my favorite authors.
I thought of Charlie Ross, because Charlie is both the name of one of my favorite characters in the book I'm writing, and it's one of my favorite names.
Stephanie Christine, after my parents, Stephen and Christy.
Anastasia (the name my mother wanted to name me) M. Bautista.
But always I wanted to stick to Daisy.
I'm 34.375% German, so I looked up moonlight (yes, still moonlight) in German. Mondlicht.
Daisy Mondlicht.
Even better, Daisy R. Mondlicht. If anyone ever asks me what R. stands for, it's Ronalda, the feminine version of Ronald.
So I have Daisy, for my favorite flower, daisies, and my so-called daisy personality. I have Mondlicht for my favorite ever cat. And I have R., or Ronalda, for Grandpa Ronnie. (And Ronald Reagan, and John Ronald Reuel, a.k.a J. R. R., Tolkien.)
It's also my father's middle name.
Why not Daisy M. Ronalds, you might ask? Why not abbreviate the cat name? Well, it doesn't flow quite so nicely, and a Daisy Ronalds is much more likely to exist than a Daisy Mondlicht.
If any of you are named Mondlicht, don't name your child Daisy. At least not until I'm famous.
And that's how I chose my pen name.
Concerning Cookies, Schoolwork, and Roman History
Yesterday I broke a spoon.
But since I broke it making chocolate, it was worth it. Whether or not my mother agreed with that, I am unsure.
It was a day of writing, baking, Spanish class, and Roman history. I sort of forgot about math….it was ruled out by cookie dough, eheh, which I was too tired to bake yesterday.
Now we have cookie dough in our fridge. If you have any curiosity at all about what I'm making, just click here.
Cookie dough in the fridge gives you something to look forward the the next day. After I've had my walk, and school…and writing, which, technically, is part of school. (My mother just didn't tell me that, sneaky woman! ) But since it's so awesome and such a big part of me, writing isn't really school.
So we learned, that day, about the emperor Vitellius, who was a glutton, and about how he was killed, his successor, Vespasian, and Vespasian's successor Titus. And we learned about an evil emperor, Domitian.
I would never name my child Domitian.
As for Spanish, Hola! Mi nombre es Illuminada. ¿Cuál es tu nombre? Spanish is fun.
And so passes another homeschooling day in the Bautista family.
What I learned:
Spanish words that I can't name right off.
How interesting and dense the Romans were, and how dearly excited I am for medieval history.
And how Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, is a good movie, and that when daddy said the title over the phone, he didn't mean Journey to The Mysterious Island.
I had no idea it was a sequel.

Ben McLemore busts a move in locker room
Kansas' Ben McLemore is my new hero, and his dance will surely catch on faster than the dougie. McLemore had just drained a game tying three-pointer to send his Jayhawks into overtime against Iowa State. Kansas took that momentum into overtime to win 97-89, and then the celebration began. Check out the easy candidate for dance of the year, and yes we realize that it is only...

Kansas guard Ben McLemore arrested
Kansas freshman guard Ben McLemore was arrested Tuesday for failing to appear in court. The 18-year-old St. Louis native failed to show on Dec. 6 in Douglas County District Court after receiving a ticket Nov. 4 for being a minor in possession of alcohol.

The Mission Historical Museum is preparing for their annual Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival and opening reception to be held on Oct. 22 from 4 to 8 p.m. in the Museum Annex Building, 200 E. Tom Landry St. in Mission.
The special program and opening will feature altar presentations, live Catrinas, a multi-media exhibit, and samplings of traditional music and food. There will be special activities for children from 4 to 6 p.m., including face painting, crafts, and a day of the dead procession.
In European cultures, death is seen as the end of life, but in the native cultures of Mexico, life is believed to continue after death. Cemeteries are decorated and altars made in homes and public places to welcome the spirits of the departed with their favorite foods, valuables, and even toys for the spirits of children. A noisy procession is sometimes used to guide the spirits to the festival. Thus, on Dia de los Muertos, the living and the dead celebrate together.
For more information, contact the Museum at 580-8646.blog comments powered by Disqus

Hi all,
A short while ago I came across a thread on a forum (not sure if it was here or elsewhere) there was a discussion about deleting users from Active Directory and at the same time deleting their data (home drive and profile)
AD Infinitum was mentioned along with another product but then someone posted a link to a free add-on/plug-in for AD Users & Computers that would do the job.
I thought I had bookmarked and saved the software, but can I find it! ...
Anyone got any ideas? I've spent the last 4 hours searching Google and my usual forum haunts with no luck ... :confused:
Thanks in advance!

The summer doldrums have taken their toll on the South Florida art scene. Most local galleries and museums, it seems, have been on vacation -- or might as well have been. With few culturally minded out-of-towners to cater to and with Miami art aficionados off at the Venice Biennial or the Documenta extravaganza in Kassel, Germany, or in New York or some other city where the art world spins year-round, our venues haven't been trying too hard. Between tired group shows that could pass for gallery garage sales and museum exhibitions that appear to have been up for eternity, there's been little reason lately to even bother thinking about art in Miami.
But good news is at hand: It's September. So get out your calendars; here's a preview of upcoming exhibitions.
Points of Entry, an extensive photography show, has been traveling to museums across the country since 1995. But its subject matter -- immigration -- carries a special relevance for Miami. The exhibition makes its final stop at the Miami Art Museum next week, opening Friday, September 12. Included are some powerful photos of Cuban and Haitian immigrants to South Florida. In one surrealistic shot, a forklift removes a homemade raft from a beach in Boca Raton while a couple of tourists look on lazily from their lounge chairs. Striking black-and-white photographs by Gary Monroe, a photographer based in Miami Beach, document life at the INS's Krome Detention Center. (Monroe talks about his work at MAM on October 9).
The exhibition is divided into three separate displays. The ambitious "A Nation of Strangers" includes family snapshots, illustrations, portraits, and news photographs that tell the sweeping story of immigration to the United States. The second display, "Reframing America," is an artistically outstanding collection of innovative work by European emigres such as Robert Frank, Lissette Model, and John Gutmann. The third part, "Tracing Cultures," features manipulated photographs and photography installations by contemporary artists inspired by themes of identity and displacement. (Miami artist Maria Martinez-Canas, whose work is in the show, will lecture on September 18).
This Friday, September 5, Historia de Animales, drawings by Cuban artist Jose Bedia, goes on display at Fredric Snitzer Gallery. Bedia has often dealt with his own migration to Miami and has plumbed his roots in the various indigenous cultural traditions of Cuba. He alludes to the popular fables of those traditions in allegorical, often humorous works on paper and goat skin that feature a bestiary of anthropomorphized animals. The drawings make reference to folkloric stories while illustrating Bedia's own tales of contemporary life.
Reflexions sur L'image also opens September 5 at Galerie Douyon next door. Two French artists known collectively as BP spent the summer in Miami, commissioned by the gallery to create multimedia works during their stay. The artists were especially taken with our car culture, specifically with the designs they saw painted on some gaudy hot rods: flames, skulls, and such. They hired local auto-body artists to paint some of those images on small flat sheets of metal that hang from the gallery's walls. Each piece is affixed with a pump that continuously drips motor oil down the front over the painted image. This is kind of cool, but not much more. The French artists may have found souped-up cars fascinating and unique, but they don't have much to say about them. Their works resemble nothing so much as tourist-shop souvenirs.
For a more engaging look at American life, head to the Lowe Museum on September 18 for a show of 46 works from the collection of the Studio Museum in Harlem. The exhibition includes pieces created from 1968 to 1993 by well-known African-American artists such as Romare Bearden, Melvin Edwards, and Betye Saar. Caribbean and African art from the Studio Museum collection that sheds light on the history of the black diaspora will also be displayed. A second show of paintings by black American artists, from the private Freedom Place Collection, will also be on view. (On October 9, Boston-based painter Richard Yarde lectures on African-American art.)
The Art Museum at FIU begins its fall season on September 19 with a lecture on twentieth-century American art by esteemed aesthete Thomas Hoving, former director of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. That same evening an exhibition of paintings and drawings by the influential early-century landscape painter Charles E. Burchfield opens at the museum. Burchfield's watercolors depict a mystical, apocalyptic vision of the American Midwest. His earliest works reveal a haunted world of turn-of-the-century childhood memories.
The dark side of childhood is also alluded to in Dependance-Independance, an installation by acclaimed French artist Annette Messager at North Miami's Museum of Contemporary Art, opening September 20. (Messager will speak at MoCA about her work that afternoon.) Messager's somewhat creepy conglomeration comprises more than 500 objects, including stuffed-cloth body parts wrapped in black netting and suspended from the ceiling by strands of yarn, plush stuffed animals and toys, and photographs of children making funny faces. The denseness of the installation reflects the weight of the emotional baggage we collect as we get older. Sparingly lit, the work suggests a child's fear of familiar bedroom objects that come frighteningly alive in the dark.

I realized I have been very cruel to my body, my temple, recently. I am attempting to go on a semi-raw diet.
Here is my plan I am going to try to stick to:
↑ fresh fruits
↑ vegetables
↑ leafy greens
↑ nuts
↑ high-quality "gluten-free" grains: amaranth, millet, quinoa, sorghum, teff
↑ local, organic
↑ dairy-free
↑ nut milks (almond, cashew)
↑ agave nectar, honey
↑ sushi
↓ sugar
↓ carbs
↓ sugary foods
↓ anything GMO (wish I could ✖ it, but it's almost impossible around my area)
↓ dairy
↓ meats
✖ corn syrup
✖ gluten grains (wheat, barley, rye)
✖ bread
✖ pasta

Happy birthday, Omar!
I hope your year will be full of good vibes! I hope your birthday is as special to you as it is to me, because my life would be incredibly different without your contributions to the world.
I wonder what Omar was thinking right here. Probably something along the lines of "Of course you can write your own parts Juan… NOT! HAHAHA!"
I'm just going to leave this here

File: Eclipse The Movie
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is an upcoming romantic-fantasy film scheduled for release on June 30, 2010.
It is based on Stephenie Meyer's Eclipse and will be the third installment of The Twilight Saga film series, following 2008's Twilight and 2009's New Moon. Summit Entertainment greenlit the film in February 2009. Directed by David Slade, the film will star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, reprising their roles as Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black, respectively. Melissa Rosenberg will be returning as screenwriter. Rachelle Lefevre, who played Victoria in the previous two installments, will not be returning due to scheduling conflicts; instead, Bryce Dallas Howard will play Victoria. It will be the first Twilight film to be released in IMAX.
Summit Entertainment released a plot summary of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on February 20, 2009, which states:
" As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death."

While shopping at Macy's the other night and not having had lunch, I decided to stop into Stella's for dinner, and my stomach is still not forgiving me for it. First of all, it was early, around 5:45 p.m., and the restaurant was still nearly emptly. After playing with the computer for about five minutes after I approach the front desk "looking for a table", the hostess finally led me to a table which seemed a long walk away (the restaurant is very long) while passing empty table after empty table. Not so bad, but I was seating right next to, and I literally mean about a foot away, another table with two partons. Table all around me were empty and at first I should have asked to me moved, but I did not. As I sat uncomfotably near the occupied table next to me, the service was slow and pre-occupied. I had to ask for sweetner for my iced tea three times and more water (as you will soon see why). The food it was nearly inedible because it was so hot and spicy. Thinking perhaps it was just me or maybe just the specific dish I ordered, I became convinced it was neither because the peson at the table next to me (did I say I was less than a foot away?) sent her dish back, claiming "it was just too spicy for her to eat." Being hungry, I did not send mine back. Besides, the size of the portion was small enough that I would have been done soon anyhow. I will never return to this restaurant and I really can't see what all the fuss is about. Fire Engine Company No. 2, be on guard for stomachs on fire!

Been there 4 times and never disappointed. Love the openness and even had a good time at the counter for lunch one time. Price is a bit more but worth it when you're tired from shopping and don't want to think about where to go to eat. Worth the convenience.

" Epson EB G5200W - LCD projector - 4200 ANSI lumens - WXGA (1280 x 800) - widescreen - standard lens - LAN "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Designed for low maintenance and peace of mind in high use and high traffic environments - coupled with reliability and security, the EB-G5200W is the ideal projector for the education, hospitality and professional sectors.
At the heart of the EB-G5200W is Epson's world-leading 3LCD technology. This projection system uses three individual LCD panels to display images that exhibit silky smooth movement and fresh, natural colors. Bright, vibrant colors and unequaled image quality are characteristics of 3LCD technology, with the projector delivering outstanding results in any presentation environment. Due to 3LCD's incredibly efficient use of light, projectors based on this technology are able to achieve quiet operating levels, exceptional clarity and flicker-free presentations.
The G series center lens is positioned to provide ease of installation and positioning within a setup environment, while the vertical and horizontal lens shift helps broaden the limits of placement possibilities. The EB-G5200W allows for adjustment of image position without compromising the image quality with a 60% shift up or down and a 10% shift left or right, to allow for a greater range of placement options.
Featuring a powerful 1.8x optical zoom, the EB-G5200W can project a 100-inch screen from a distance of as little as 2.66 meters. As a result, this short-throw feature means that even in the smallest of rooms, presenters can deliver large screen presentations that demonstrate the projector's advanced image and color technologies.
One of the crucial features offered by the EB-G5200W is its ability to provide up to 4200 lumens via incredibly efficient E-TORL (Epson Twin Optimized Reflection Lamp) technology. Designed to minimize light leakage - a primary cause of lamp inefficiency - and minimize light diffraction, E-TORL lamps combine an ellipsoidal reflector, spherical lens and hemispherical mirror. This combination ensures optimum light efficiency with minimal power consumption and heat generation.
With the increase in widescreen viewing the EB-G5200W features an original widescreen picture that automatically detects and resizes any aspect ratio (4:3/16:10/16:9). More horizontal space allows you to use a larger surface to project wide spreadsheets, presentations, corporate videos & interactive whiteboard space.

I picked up the XXX as a utility driver and I'm extremely happy I did. As everyone has previously stated this thing is a meat hook, it flies boomerang made of brick.
Basically this disc is so beefy overstable it will go straight with no turn for as much power you can put into it. However once the fade hits this disc cuts and cuts hard. Rain, wind, snow, hurricane, typhoon, this disc will fade.
The other area the XXX really shines is spike hyzers, thumbers and tomahawks because it spikes to the ground like nothing you've ever seen. It the ground like a meteor and just stops.
If you are in need of a great meathook/trouble/utility disc I would definitely recommend the XXX.
The XXX will never be your go-to driver, unless you live in the Caribbean and are constantly playing in hurricane weather. When you need a hard fade, or you need to throw through a tornado and make it out on the other side, you will reach for this beefy disc. Any forehand throw and spike hyzers are very ideal with the XXX. The added ability of virtually no skip is very appealing. This isn't a disc that will catch some glide before it meathooks. It will only go as far as how much umph you put into it. I'd say it's one of the best utility disc on the markey, and as always, the Lat 64 plastic is extraordinary.
For me the XXX is a dependable meat hook driver or utility driver. Tomahawk, Thumber, get out of trouble Flicks,this disc does it all. It doesn't go far for me, but it is dependable in the wind and will never surprise me with how it finishes.
this disc is good not to bad it alot better to controll then the OS Nuke, brought the disc 1st throw 400 feet dos not fade hard left for me it make a S_Curve for me, this disc is alway in my bag..
As I have played with it more and more I have come to think that it isn't ridiculously overstable. It is definitly going left, but I get a fairly significant straight flight out of it befor it hits the hard left. Throwing it 400′ on an s-curve though…..that seems tough. I will admit that I have never tried to drive it like I do my Distance Drivers, but I don't see an s-curve in my future unless I release it on a nice Anny line,
A lot of reviewers have called this a flying brick. Though when you get it, you understand what they mean, it is still not very appealing. The disc however, you will fall in love with. It is going left. In a headwind, in a crosswind, on anny, on the moon…it is going left. What the reviewers mean when they say it flys like a brick, is that it only goes as far as you throw it and then it finds the ground and sticks in it. There are certain holes where you will think, I wonder if the xxx is good for this hole. Try it once and you will love it. One of my favorite holes to throw this disc on is about 200 feet down a hill then an extra 100 feet to the hole. You have to throw around a few big trees at the top of the hill. I send this disc off with a forehand flick, it wraps around the trees, and it goes and sits next to the basket…every time. No skipping, no gliding away in the wind…just perfect. Use this disc strategically and you will love the results. I love the disc.
I throw about 350′. I do not throw xxx 350′. If you want to throw this with a normal throw you will have to be a lot stronger of a thrower than me, this disc starts to hyzer from a flat throw about 30-50′ from where I throw it.
Good thing is that isnt what this disc is for. Wind will only straighten this disc out, the more the better, and it will still fade back.
While I have only tried out 3 or 4 OS utility discs, this one by far gets more distance with thumbers and tommys. Fifty feet or so on a few good throws, and that was compared to a Trident I tried (both in opto).
It won't be a workhorse driver for you, and it won't be your longest driver. But when you need a shot that will finish to the left (RHBH) in a hurricane, THIS is that disc. Very overstable and very reliable. There are very few discs (Z Xtreme comes to mind, along with a select few firebirds) that will fade harder than this disc.
The XXX is a disc which fills a specific niche in your bag; it's not useful for most shots you'll take in a round but extremely good at what it's meant for. Beyond its obvious ability as a reliable disc in the most brutal of headwinds it is very good for overhand shots, forehand rollers, and short hooks/skip shots. Despite its massive overstability the XXX is, when released anhyzer, able to hold that angle longer than you might think and gives you some extra flexibility for line shaping even at low speeds.
CRAZY OVERSTABLE. Great for short hyzers and overhead shots obviously. Has a large skip on it if thrown low. If thrown high chances are it will just spike. If you need something more stable than Firebird or a Predator this is for you.
The XXX is one of the most overstable discs on the market. It does a good job at fighting a headwind, and is excellent for overhand shots. I would not recommend this disc for any new player, but for players with experience I would highly recommend it as a utility disc.
I have to admit, I am not a fan of the XXX, like, at all. I won one at a local tourney and tried my best to make it work for me, all to no avail. I just don't have a need right now for what it does…but what it does, it does well.
First off, the only thing I've seen that is more Overstable than this disc is a Nuke OS, and even then, they're about the same. The XXX is a total meathook. It's a fairway driver for sure, but on the low-end of speed for fairways (like a Cheetah or Leopard, to make an Innova comparison). It doesn't go out too far, and at the end it hyzer out ridiculously hard.
But what the XXX does is fight the wind like nobody's business. I'm pretty sure you could throw this bad boy into a tornado and it would still stay straight and finish hard left. (RHBH) Put even a touch of hyzer on it and you get a sky-high hyzer spike. Throw it flat and it will go super straight for about 150-200 feet, then begin it's ultimate fade of doom.
This disc isn't for everybody, by any means, but if you need a meathook/wind fighter, then this is your jam.
How to explain the XXX. It's a very very overstable driver. I cannot place enough emphasis on the overstability. It's the equivalent of a Firebird from Innova or a Predator from Discraft. It is not meant to fly far, it is meant to fight the wind, hook hard and find the ground. Great for overhands, great for power sidearms, flex sidearms, big spike hyzers, skip shots. Also makes a great overhand roller disc when you happen to get into trouble. The Opto are more overstable then the Gold Line but both are money. Worth a try!
The xXx is as stupid overstable as they come, but in a great way. 40mph headwind? No problem and no joke, you will not be able to turn this disc over. The rim is wide, but not too wide, and it fits very comfortably in the hand. The Opto plastic is near indestructable,which all adds up to make a brilliant thumber disc.
This disc is as good as it gets for thumbers both short and long, and you can huck this disc incredible distances with a strong thumber; once it flips upside down, it glides that way very predictably until it cuts back towards the throwing side before viciously spiking down. It brilliantly performs spike hyzers, HARD fades for both back and forehand where it's unchanged in its flightpath by even the heaviest of headwinds, this is THE disc to skip on those low and hard big-skip routes, flex routes come out very early allowing some sharp lines to be made, and those utility shots through the heaviest of brush is no match for the xXx. Keep in mind that being so incredibly overstable and having a somewhat thick blunt edge, this dic keeps from being very long with a standard throw.
Extremely overstable disc, and imo one of the only suitable replacement discs for the Innova Firebird for thumbers. The first run of these were extremely flat and subsequent runs have varied with having both flat and slightly domed XXX's. Both are super overstable but i prefer the flat ones for thumbers. one of the best discs Latitude makes
The XXX does what it's supposed to do – meathook – and there's something positive to be said for that! Reliability is key and you can trust that you're XXX will fade HARD when you need it to. For me this is a get-out-of-trouble utility disc. Tomahawks, thumbers from the brush, spike hyzers over that annoying clump of trees – XXX will get it done. Otherwise, it's much too overstable to get a ton of distance with it.
The XXX is kind of the epitome of a "meathook" in my opinion, but it holds a very important spot in my bag. Perfect for spike, hard fading hyzers both backhand and forehand even in headwinds. Also I'm not a big overhand thrower but when I do throw them, this disc is absolute money for long bombs. Other than that it's not a very long disc but worth a slot in your bag for get-out-of-trouble shots and big predictable hyzers.
