Del Mar Schools Education Foundation entering home stretch for contributions deadline
By Karen Billing
Don't use the word "donation" with the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) President Drew Isaacman.
"One of my big things is that I don't look at any parent's or company's dollars as a donation, I hate that word," Isaacman said. "Ours is a contribution. We're contributing to the benefit of all of our students, community and school district."
DMSEF's annual campaign is entering the home stretch toward its April 30 deadline to fund the district's Extended Studies Curriculum (ESC), which includes the subjects of science, PE, art, music and technology.
So far they have raised $535,000 from 740 families, which represents a 23 percent participation rate.
"We have to raise double that to get to where we were last year and triple to get to where we were four years ago," Isaacman said. "Hopefully the community will rally and hear our message."
Isaacman said it should be noted that most schools still have events such as jogathons coming up, which usually bring in about $30,000 each.
"Large chunks start to come in toward spring but our need is significant. It's a significant gap," Isaacman said.
Last year, the foundation raised $1.28 million in its annual campaign, funding 13 full- time equivalent (FTE) credentialed ESC teachers across the district. With the district's contribution, the ESC program has 33 teachers.
The fundraising goal remains $2 million as ESC has gone down on a per child basis in the last three to four years. By head count figures, the district's 33 ESC teachers this year is down from 35 teachers two years ago and that number, with increased contributions, could be 40.
"Certain schools, because of their size, don't feel ESC has gone down even though it has," said Isaacman.
He said there's some confusion on that because people associate ESC with teachers' names, not the program. Some schools actually need more than five FTEs because of the number of sections teachers have to teach.
An example of a trimmed ESC program is at Ashley Falls School where instead of losing a subject, they chose to have half a year of music and half a year of art.
"The goal is still $2 million," Isaacman said. "We're not trying to reach the minimum level of education, we're trying to reach the maximum level of education."
To avoid DMSEF "playing favorites," the foundation is completely taken out of the allocation equation. The foundation has no say in how the money is distributed to each of the schools — it simply gives funds to the district and the superintendent meets with all eight principals to allocate the ESC funds.
All of the principals get a voice and decide what they want to do with the funds — some may opt for more of one program and less of another.
The foundation has not been deaf to the bickering and arguments over site specific vs. district-wide fundraising.
"The (district-wide) allocation has been a big bone of contention but it's just where we are," Isaacman said.

Now that they're back, the Pixies just don't want it to end. A year after they reunited, the band has scheduled a string of summer tour dates that will have them visiting a number of festivals and playing two-a-day shows in several cities.
The original four members of the group — singer/guitarist Frank Black, singer/bassist Kim Deal, guitarist Joey Santiago and drummer David Lovering — will launch the three-week run on May 26 in Portland, Oregon. The tour is currently scheduled to wrap up June 14 in Wantagh, New York, according to a group spokesperson.
In addition to appearances at the Sasquatch Festival, Atlanta's Music Midtown Festival and the CMJ/Rock Hall Fest, the group will double up in a number of cities, playing an early and a late show.
Last year's shows — the first since the group disbanded in 1992 — were received with universal acclaim, and fans salivated at the iTunes release of the new song "Bam Thwok," but bandmembers have been elusive when asked if they intend to record a new album (see "New Pixies LP Unlikely, But Another New Track's On The Way" ).
Pixies 2005 tour dates, according to a spokesperson:
- 5/26 – Portland, OR @ Roseland Theater (6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.)
- 5/27 – Portland, OR @ Roseland Theater (6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.)
- 5/28 – George, WA @ Sasquatch Music Festival
- 5/30 – San Francisco, CA @ The Warfield, (7:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.)
- 6/2 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Wiltern LG, (two shows, times TBA)
- 6/5 – Denver, CO @ Red Rocks Amphitheatre
- 6/8 – Cleveland, OH @ CMJ/ Rock Hall Music Fest (7:30 p.m.)
- 6/8 – Cleveland, OH @ Scene Pavilion (9:00 p.m.)

commissarSyllabification: com·mis·sar
Pronunciation: /ˈkäməˌsär /
Definition of commissar in English:
1An official of the Communist Party, especially in the former Soviet Union or present-day China, responsible for political education and organization.
Example sentences
- There are no aging commissars clinging on to party rule.

If I understand right, geothermal radiant in-floor heat is more expensive to install in new construction than a geothermal forced-air system? Given a tight budget, if we chose geothermal but did the forced-air for heat (we also need a/c for medical reasons), then would geothermal forced -air be enough to provide heat in the winter when it goes down to -30 degrees C outside? Or would we need electric baseboard heaters and wood stove to heat the house on those colder days?
One other question about in-floor heat is does it retain the heat in the room or cool down quickly when turned off... I'm thinking of the days in the spring and fall when the night we use heat but in the day, if it gets really hot, we use the a/c. Overall, I'm guessing that forced-air would be the better way to go for us but I still like the idea of geothermal. Any suggestions to this? Thanks!

The rocker, who left the band in 1996 and now performs solo, posted a picture of his flooded home on Facebook and also wrote:
I am numb, in shock, & devastated to report that my home of 21 years… has been destroyed, condemned, & deemed uninhabitable.
The damage to his New Jersey residence was caused when his house was knocked from its foundations after a local reservoir flooded, causing a bridge near his home to break and end up in his garage.
The singer – who releases his fourth solo album 'Kicking & Screaming' on September 23 - lost a host of Skid Row memorabilia in his flooded basement, including Skid Row master tapes, as well as a Kiss pinball machine, reports People.
The singer, who no longer lives in the property, explained that he's been holding onto the home since filing for divorce from his wife in December of last year. He added: "What makes me happy is that my children & ex wife are safe… No one got hurt."

To tackle pollution, China to drop pursuit of growth at all costs
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will steer local governments away from the pursuit of economic growth at all costs and beef up their powers to punish polluters as part of a campaign to reverse the damage done by three decades of unchecked expansion.
In wide-ranging economic and social reforms unveiled last week, the ruling Communist Party said it would put more emphasis on environmental protection when assessing officials, and would also hold local authorities directly responsible for pollution.
The document, which also pledged to relax its "one-child policy" and further free up its markets, said China would draw an "ecological protection red line" that would limit the economic development of environmentally vulnerable regions.
Three decades of industrialisation and double-digit growth in China have left the country badly polluted.
With public anger mounting over a series of scandals involving hazardous smog, contaminated soil and toxic water supplies, China has identified the environment as one of the biggest potential sources of instability. But despite a pledge to create a "beautiful China" over the next decade, Beijing continues to struggle to bring polluting state-owned industrial enterprises and growth-obsessed local governments to heel.
The new policy document said China would "correct the bias towards assessing (officials) on the speed of economic growth and increase the weight placed on other indicators such as resource use, environmental damage, ecological benefits, industrial overcapacity, scientific innovation, work safety and newly-added debt."
China already assesses local officials on the way they handle the environment, but with the economy still considered the priority, local authorities stress their green credentials by building ostentatious national parks, wetlands or reforestation projects rather than address the cause of pollution and risk revenues and jobs.
"Before, they were just using environmental protection as another way of generating economic growth and even if something causes a great deal of immediate environmental damage, they would still consider the short-term economic benefits," said Zhou Lei at Nanjing University, who studies the impact of industry on the environment.
The Communist Party document also pledged to improve the way environmental rules are enforced by establishing a more "unified" central government authority and by eliminating administrative overlaps.
Experts expect China to strengthen the powers of the environmental ministry as part of a wider government department reshuffle likely to take place during the annual session of parliament in March next year.
Officials, including vice-environment minister Pan Yue, have complained that the current regime lacks teeth, partly because many crucial environmental responsibilities are dispersed across a wide range of departments.
Next year's reshuffle could see the environment ministry taking on responsibilities currently held by the State Forestry Commission, the Ministry of Water Resources as well as the powerful planning superministry, the National Development and Reform Commission, none of which consider environmental protection a priority.
The pledges made in last week's document will also be bolstered by amendments to the country's environmental protection laws, which are expected to be published soon and will give environmental agencies a range of new powers to fine and punish serial violators, as well as improve the way Beijing monitors pollution across the country.
But Zhou of Nanjing University said the new rules are unlikely to go far enough.
"In my opinion, it is typical Chinese lip service and should not be treated seriously," he said. "What will really solve the current environmental degradation is to systematically re-appraise all the problematic projects and let justice be served regarding all the perpetrators."

GI.biz that the removal of the HDMI cable from the Elite packaging was to enable more "flexibility to consumers who can then decide which type of cable they want for their specific gaming and TV screen set-up." Pardon us, but that's like saying Sub-Zero ripping out your spine gives your body more "flexibility." Of course, the drawback is that you're dead.
Adding insult to injury, the new Elite bundle isn't just shipping sans HDMI cable, it has no HD cables at all; meaning that consumers now have even more flexibility to purchase better cables. While any old HDMI cable will do (they're cheap too!), the Xbox 360 component cable is proprietary and priced at $40 (as is the VGA cable). Want optical audio with your HDMI? That adapter's proprietary, too -- and $50. In fairness, PS3s don't ship with HD cables either (they do have an optical audio port, though), and that's always been a joke -- a joke that Microsoft is now in on.

Motorola's Photon 4G: The best Android smartphone yet
The Photon 4G, Atrix 4G, and Droid 3 add essential corporate capabilities to Android, but the post-PC dock remains unfinished
There's new hope for Android aficionados who want IT to let them use their preferred mobile OS for work, thanks to Motorola Mobility's four business-oriented smartphones: the Photon 4G and Xpert for Sprint, Atrix 4G for AT&T Wireless, and Droid 3 for Verizon Wireless. Motorola has filled in several deficiencies of the Android operating system that keep many IT organizations from allowing its use. For example, the new Motorola devices add support for on-device encryption to Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" and support more Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) security policies, so they're now compliant with many organizations' security requirements.
You might remember the Motorola Atrix 4G, a smartphone released earlier this year that can dock to a monitor and run a full desktop Firefox 4 browser in addition to the Android apps -- an intriguing step to a post-PC device. Motorola has essentially taken that device and made versions for Sprint and Verizon, while implementing the current "Gingerbread" Android version and enhancing some of the Motorola software.
[ Find out how well the Atrix performs as a "lite" PC when docked to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. | See all of InfoWorld's mobile deathmatch comparisons and personalize the scores to your needs. | Compare the security and management capabilities of iOS, Windows Phone 7, Android, and more in InfoWorld's Mobile Management Deep Dive PDF report. ]
The four smartphones are variations of each other, with a few key differences being: The Droid 3 has a slideout keyboard, the Xpert has a BlackBerry Bold-style embedded keyboard, and the Atrix and Photon have only onscreen keyboards. The Photon also has a larger screen: 4.3 inches versus 4.0 inches on the Atrix and Droid 3 and 3.1 inches on the Xpert. Finally, the Xpert has much less storage capacity: 2GB plus 2GB on an included MicroSD card, versus 16GB onboard and up to 32GB on optional MicroSD cards for the other devices.
Despite the "4G" in the Atrix and Photon names, neither Motorola Android device supports the LTE 4G spectrum, though the Photon does support the much less available WiMax 4G spectrum (however, only if you turn off Wi-Fi, a weird requirement). Unfortunately, there was no WiMax signal available in downtown San Francisco where I work or in central San Francisco where I live, so I couldn't test it.
Given how similar the Photon, Droid 3, and Xpert are to the Atrix 4G smartphone that InfoWorld has previously reviewed, I won't repeat that review's details here. Instead, here's what's new or different. For this review, I tested the Photon 4G.
Email, calendars, and contacts
Motorola's email setup doesn't have the same issues I experienced with the original Atrix 4G in detecting email settings. Instead of guessing wrong, as the Atrix often did, the Photon 4G is more likely to go straight to the manual settings for you to fill in. The Email app has a bevy of nice additions, including direct access to Exchange's out-of-office settings, support for rich text emails (such as applying boldface and bulleted lists), the ability to save messages, and the ability to set up server-side rules for attachment forwarding to the device -- none of which you'll find in the iPhone's iOS. It also provides clearer feedback when you take such actions as deleting a message.

THE IMAGINATION POWERS; I could Imagine anything I want and no one could stop me from pretending even if they said it wasn't true. I believed I was given special imagination powers. When I started pretending about something it became so real and as long as I never told anyone about my powers I would have them forever. I just knew that ALL adults where jealous of kids who still had imagination and pretend powers, so they would wait until a child tells them a 'made up story' then the adult would say's the words 'It's time to grow-up" and it goes in to the kids head and infects the brain and it changes the brain into believing that the kid has to grow up now and deletes his powers forever. It usually happened in the 1st grade. I remember coming up with this plan on how I would keep my powers. My plan was as soon as I started hearing my parents talking about me starting the first grade I would no longer use my powers in front of any adults so they would think I had already been infected with the 'grown-up' bug. I could only use my powers when it was safe to with my friends. I have always wondered who infected me?

Monthly Reflection by
November 26, 2014
Today, we pray for those living in sexual sin
Lord Jesus, You taught us about love. But to some, love is manifested as lust. We pray for our brothers and sisters living in the bondage of sexual immorality, especially the ones who live it in secret and have no qualms about it. May they have the courage and integrity to recognise their folly and fight it, with Your grace. Pour forth Your Spirit on each one of us so that we may never fall into this evil. Protect our own and our children from being preys to this too. Amen.

Faithful Place: A Novel (edition 2011)
by Tana French
Work details
Faithful Place by Tana French
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Police detective Frank Mackey gets a call from his sister Jackie saying that construction guys had found a suitcase in an apartment building where he grew up and his parents still lived. It belonged to his girlfriend from years ago who went missing. Frank returns to the family in Faithful Place that he hadn't seen since he left when he was nineteen because of his abusive father. He starts asking questions and continues until he finds what he's looking for.
Most of the story was about the family, the neighborhood and his ex-wife and daughter with the murder woven into understanding the characters. French does an excellent job with character development, the dialogue and creating the atmosphere of Faithful Place.
This was an excellent read, and don't let the fact that it is number three in a series, as it is completely readable on its own. Best one in the series in my opinion.
This may be my favorite of the three Tana French Dublin Murder Squad novels I've read.
I was instantly swept up into the story and the mind of Frank Mackey. The first-person narrative that French employs is unique and effective. The family dynamics are authentic and captivating. The humor dry and sardonic. The author demonstrates amazing psychological insight into her characters and creates mysteries that are clever with unexpected twists. She throws emotional, gut-wrenching punches and maintains tension and drama throughout. I became a fan with Into the Woods where she blew my mind, and she just gets better and better with each novel. If you haven't experienced the Dublin Murder Squad, I highly recommend that you check it out.
A novel posing as a mystery, very absorbing, dark, haunting. Sad, sad, sad, about broken people, broken families, what might have been. Disturbing for me because of horrible, horrible family stuff that I was lucky to miss but can barely stand to read about. I guessed the killer right away but had no understanding of the nuances of motivation until the very end when they were horribly made clear.
One of the best books of my reading year, although I wish I could stop thinking about the characters and their fates. I read a lot of mysteries and true crime and almost never am touched by them. Perhaps because for me the saddest thing is the haunted feeling of what might have been, and if only. This one hit me hard.
The past haunts in Tana French novels. That which was buried is brought to light and wreaks hell--on no one moreso than Frank Mackey, beloved undercover guru and burly hero first mentioned in French's second book about the Undercover Squad, The Likeness. Faithful Place is Frank's old neighborhood, the town he fled twenty-two years ago, abandoning an abusive alcoholic father, harpy mother, and two brothers and sisters who never made it out. They say going home is never easy, but for Frank, investigating the cold case of the just-discovered body of his teenage girlfriend, it is a tangled, dangerous journey, fraught with mean motivations, black secrets, and tenuous alliances. Because he is too close to the case, and because the Place (including his family) harbors a deep-rooted distrust of cops, Frank must undergo his investigation furtively, using all the skills picked up from years of undercover work to trace the killer and the events of the night that changed his life. Faithful Place is Tana French's best book yet (readers familiar with In the Woods and The Likeness will recognize this as an incredible feat), a compelling and cutting mystery with the hardscrabble, savage Mackey clan at its heart.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Tiger Woods joins vacationing Obama for golf round at Florida club
PALM CITY, Fla. - President Barack Obama played golf Sunday with Tiger Woods, the White House said Sunday.
Once the sport's dominant player before his career was sidetracked by scandal, Woods joined Obama at the Floridian, a secluded and exclusive yacht and golf club on Florida's Treasure Coast where Obama is spending the long Presidents Day holiday weekend. The two had met before, but Sunday was the first time they played together.
The White House has prohibited media coverage of Obama's weekend golf outing.
The foursome also included Jim Crane, a Houston businessman who owns the Floridian and Major League Baseball's Houston Astros, and outgoing U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, a former mayor of Dallas, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. Crane and Kirk also were part of Obama's foursome on Saturday, the White House said.
Obama, an avid golfer, also received some instruction Saturday and played a few holes with Butch Harmon, Woods' former swing coach.
Golf Digest reported that Obama spent eight hours with Harmon, during which he played 27 holes and hit balls in Harmon's studio, and then managed to co-ordinate Sunday's round with Woods. The report said the original plan called for Obama and Woods to play at Woods' home club — The Medalist Golf Club, a half-hour away in Hobe Sound — but they eventually opted for the Floridian.
Woods departed after the first 18 holes, but Obama stayed on to play another nine, the report said.
"Just to see the interaction between the two on the range was pretty neat," Harmon told Golf Digest. "The President said to Tiger: 'The last tournament you played was fun to watch. It's good to see you play well again.' You could tell he meant it. It just wasn't a throw it out compliment."
It seems Obama and Woods — the first black men at the top of their respective fields — have spent the past few years inching toward Sunday's meeting on the fairway.
The two met in January 2009, during Obama's inauguration in Washington. Four months later, in April, Woods visited the White House and Obama welcomed him into the Oval Office.
Woods' personal life imploded later in 2009 after revelations that he had engaged in multiple extramarital affairs, leading to divorce. He followed with a public apology and announced he was taking an indefinite break from golf. Shortly after Woods announced he was coming out of seclusion, Obama said in an interview with Fox News Channel that Woods will still be a "terrific" golfer despite his personal issues.
After returning to the sport, Woods went two years without winning, but his game is back on track and he currently is ranked No. 2 in the world. Woods won the last tournament he played, three weeks ago in San Diego.
The president is in Florida while first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha are on an annual skiing vacation out West. He arrived late Friday and was due to return to Washington on Monday night.
AP Golf Writer Doug Ferguson contributed to this report.

Paramedic Leslie Shay (Lauren German) has never had the best timing on Chicago Fire. Last season, she jumped back into a relationship with her pregnant ex-girlfriend, Clarice, just before Clarice found out she had to move away. Then, she tried to have a baby with her best friend Severide (Taylor Kinney) just before his ex-girlfriend showed up at their doorstep pregnant and claiming that the baby was his.
However, nothing could beat the turn of events in last Tuesday's episode of the NBC sophomore drama, when Shay returned to Firehouse 51 after a serious battle with depression and suicidal thoughts only to find out that the house was being closed.

Williamsburg, VA Area
My family and I will be traveling to Williamsburg, VA in September. Any recommendations on where to eat or places to visit in the area? My husband and I have a 1 1/2 year old child so places that are child friendly are important to us. However we will be traveling with my parents and so my husband and I will have some time to go out to dinner together (just the two of us). We especially appreciate local/chef owned places and we are somewhat adventurous. Thanks!
re: princsoreo
Respectfully disagree on Pierce's recommendation. We loved that place for years, but last time, the BBQ sandwiches tasted like there had been a grease fire and the meat suffered terribly. We'll never go back there. If you go down I-64 to Mercury Blvd exit in Hampton, find the Target store. Across the parking lot from Target is "Q," a truly great bbq joint and is run by one of the winningest BBQers on the competition BBQ circuit.
re: princsoreo
Actually I think Pierces is possibly the worst barbeque I have ever eaten. I'd actually prefer fast food, and I don't eat fast food.
The Corner Pocket is casual and fun with outdoor dining and music. Cities Grill is casual and nice for dinner. Black Angus is very nice for fine dining at dinner.
The Corner Pocket @ 4805 Courthouse St., Williamsburg, Virginia, VA 757 - 220 - 0808.
Cities Grill @ 4511 John Tyler Highway, Williamsburg, VA 757 - 564 - 3955.
Black Angus Grill @ 1433 Richmond Road, Williamsburg, VA 757 - 229 - 6823.
You should eat at one of the restored colonial taverns in colonial Williamsburg while you are there.
My family always liked the College Deli across from the William and Mary campus only about three blocks down Richmond Rd. from colonial Williamsburg. Good subs / sandwiches for lunch. There is a place across the diagonal street from the College Deli that is also good. I don't remember the exact name of the place, but it does have green in the name. Maybe Green Leaf Inn, or something like that. We like their large pitchers of beer to share on a hot day.
Thank you so much everyone! These places all sound wonderful. I am making a list to take with us on our trip. Any other recommendations are welcome of course.
We had a very good meal in December at Food for Thought on Richmond Rd. It's kid friendly, popular with locals, and has a very interesting menu.
i highly suggest Rivers Inn in Gloucester Point. its run by the widely known chef Hans Schadler and his daughter. they've got a lovely crab deck outside looking over the York River. dinner there is highly recommended.
and since i'm throwing names out there, i work for The Regency Dining Room located within the 4-star small hotel, Williamsburg Inn. the cuisine here borders on French/American.
I'd be careful with the taverns--I've eaten at the King's Arms and Christiana Campbell's and wasn't particularly impressed with the meals (yes, I gave them a couple of chances). They're also on the expensive side. One eats at the taverns more for the experience than the food, I've found.
Pierce's Pitt (which is a few miles outside Williamburg in Lightfoot) is borderline fast food but the BBQ sandwiches are really good, no problems with kids. Another place that hasn't been mentioned is the Old Chickahominy House--very family friendly and the food is very Virginian. They're only open for breakfast and lunch; try to go during the week because the crowds can be nuts on the weekends. The Cheese Shop on Duke of Gloucester Street is a great place to grab a sandwich, and if you're having date night the restaurant upstairs, the Fat Canary, is great.

410 Duke of Gloucester St, Williamsburg, VA 23185
re: MandalayVA
+1 on the Chikahominy House. Country Ham, Eggs, Hot Biscuits, and Grits. Just a little VA!
re: MandalayVA
"I'd be careful with the taverns..." I have to balance out the opinions here. We go back to Wmsburg every couple of years from Florida, and love the atmosphere of the taverns, yes, but also, have never had a bad meal. You go in knowing its a few more dollars than the Olive Garden back home, and its painless. We thought the light fare at the cafeteria under the museum/gallery was a well kept secret when we discovered it in 2006 or so, and we went back there for lunch twice in our 2008 trip. Funny that we part ways again as MandalayVA's post goes on. The Cheese Shop was always crowded on our visits to Williamsburg, and I thought that would mean really good food. Found it average and not worth the wait, the crowd, or the price. I guess the moral of the story of our 2 posts is that you can't please everybody. Overall, when we go to Williamsburg, we eat well.
Florida Hound
re: AMFM
I was at the cheese shop last Monday night. We had two kids, we were hungry and it was late. The sandwiches were excellent and fairly priced. Such nice service,they wrote Mom,Dad big sis and brother on the outside of the appropriate sandwich wrapper for easy identification. We sat at one of the tables outside in front and enjoyed the great weather. It doesn't get much better.
My favorite place to eat in Williamsburg (lunch or dinner) is Second Street Bistro. For dinner I love their Shrimp and Grits, Lobster Mac and Cheese and their Bison Meatloaf..the Kobe burger is also good.

re: zkrg3
Late reply but we were in Williamsburg for a night in late June and I just saw this post. Our new favourite restaurant in the area is the Carrot Tree Kitchens. There's 2 locations, one in Williamsburg the other in York, we obviously went to the Williamsburg one. Its a funky little joint in a converted motel, small but kid friendly. They are primarily a lunch spot and serve soup, sandwiches, salads and really good fresh-baked goods. Hubby and I were blown away by the Pimiento Cheese sandwiches on house-made bread and tomato basil soup lunch special. And I loved their key lime pie. Apparently the Yorktown location doesn't do breakfast, is a bit fancier and has a slightly different menu, and also offers dinner sometimes. We found the Williamsburg location perfect for grabbing a great meal before getting back on the road.
Carrot Tree Kitchens
1782 Jamestown Rd, Williamsburg, VA 23185
re: Ariadanz
I have to agree with purely on the fact that they have Key Lime Pie. Not many places here have it and if they do the food isn't worth sitting through to get to dessert. Besides I hate going to a restaurant just for dessert.
Allow me to update what I've previously commented.
River's Inn has since closed down, however there will be a new restaurant opening along Route 199 in the Harris Teeter shopping centre. Not 100% sure on what they will name the place, I've heard through passing that it will be called WayPoint. They will opening within the next month. I expect many of the locals flocking there.
re: nattybumppo
Rivers Inn at Gloucester Point has just re-opened as has the crab deck. Haven't been, so can't comment on the food. But the menu looks approachable by in selection and price.
re: marshmaven
Its been many years since we were in Williamsburg but we appreciate the opportunity to have local southern food , and we really liked (back then) the cooking, from biscuits and soup to pies, at the Chickahominy House. Hope they still have those good pie bakers. Also, we appreciated taking the ferry across the River to the lovely unspoiled countryside around Surry - Surrey House also served very good local food. http://maps.google.com/maps/place?rlz...
these are both the types of comfortable family restaurants that offer high chairs along with tasty local dishes.There is a very nice plantation preserved in a state park on that side of the river that is well worth visiting and would be a great place for achild to run freely.
Surrey House Restaurant
11865 Rolfe Hwy, Surry, VA 23883
re: jen kalb
The Surrey House has always been a favorite of my mom's, so we took her there a few weekends ago just for a fun meal out. I hope we were just there on a bad night, but the food was not what it had been in the past. Pork chops overcooked so badly that they were like chewing on leather, side dishes that were far overdressed, and mom even complained that the crabcakes were practically inedible (and she's a "you'll eat what they put in front of you!" kind of lady!).
re: ForFoodsSake
I have to agree with ForFoodsSake. Our last visit to the Surrey House was not so great. Fried chicken pretty good, but the Salisbury steak was over-cooked and dry and the fried fish sandwich was fried to death. The lemon chess pie was pretty good.

re: marshmaven
thanks for the update on Surrey House, at least the pies are still good.
re: nattybumppo
Here's the info on Hans Schadler's new place which opened in December, 2011. Haven't tried it, but will soon.
Waypoint Seafood & Grill. 1480 Quarterpath Road, Williamsburg. Hours: 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays. 757-220-2228. www.waypointgrill.com.
re: 1Buckeye
Reservations at Waypoint on weekends are a must. The place has been packed which is great for the middle of January in Williamsburg. I haven't tried it but reports are good.
re: birdie
Tried it for dinner last Friday. Superb. It is already among Williamsburg's best restaurants and fills a void - excellent seafood, although the menu includes many other selections. Had mussels appetizer and rockfish. Friend had calamari & jalapeno appetizer and special - lobster clambake. Beautiful place, exceeding expectations for a mall restaurant - 3 stone fireplaces, beautiful bar, well furnished. Wine list is quite nice with many good selections by the glass. I'll be back often.
re: 1Buckeye
Curious as to how much they charged for the clambake and what was included.
re: krisrishere
Difficult to say now, since my friend ordered it. @ $30, it was a special and the most expensive item on the menu. It wasn't a traditional clambake, but a dish of lobster and other shellfish in a nice sauce. Can't recall the sides. Most entrees seemed to be in the $20-$25 range, and the ambiance, service, and food make it well worth it. They are also open for lunch from 11-2 Tue-Sun now including Sunday brunch.

the People's Pub in Ballard
- hagar4316 Nov 25, 2006 11:19 PM
I'm looking for a good German Kneipe in the Seattle area and heard about this place. Opinions???
re: christy319
Thanks for the advice. "Kneipe" is the german word for "pub" by the way. Guess I should stick with english.:o)
We've always enjoyed hanging out at the People's Pub. Their food is good. Solid. Nothing outrageous but quality fare. Good spaetzle, red cabbage, schnitzel and a good meat/cheese/gerkin plate to nosh on while you drink your beer.
re: tbilisi
Feirabend (422 Yale Ave. N.) may be a good place to drink, but I found the food to be just awful. Dried out sausage, stale bread, just OK sauerkraut. I'd give it a pass.
Definitely my favorite laid back neighborhood bar/restaurant in Ballard. Great german food, but also other types of fare if your buddies aren't into that, late night eats and excellent drink prices. My current favorite of their beers is the Einbecher Pils (their german beers are $2.50 for a big pint during happy hour and all day Wednesday, $3.50 other times, which is still a deal!) - http://www.peoplespub.com
re: ballardman
the Austrian beer Samichlaus (14% abv) is currently available ON TAP at Beveridge Place pub in W Seattle
re: barleywino
Barleywino, I looked up the Beveridge Place on the web. They have a very interesting business concept: Serving take out food from other places as their menu. (Or just bring your own food.) Now THAT is a commitment to beer! Also, the Samichlaus is obviously the perfect stocking stuffer for most Chowhounds.
re: Walters
Yes Walters, anybody who drinks Samichlaus on Christmas eve will nod off to sleep with visions of Seattle Seahawks dancing in their heads (and wake up on Christmas Day with a wicked hangover...because Samichlaus (Austrian for Santa Claus) KNOWS if you've been good or bad)
I love the charm of the People's Pub, but I never found the food very good. I much prefer Feierabend if I'm eating. http://www.feierabendseattle.com/
re: terrier
Thanks Terrier...I agree. I am a huge German food fan and keep on really wanting to like the Peoples Pub as I live in Queen Anne. So much, I have eaten there about 8-9 times in the past three years. The food bites but ambience is great...in the bar. The three new German places started by the same company that owns feierabend are much better choices for authentic German. You have to go to Portland or Leavenworth (King Ludwigs or Cafe Mozart) to get even better German. What a pity with our weather recently. I could really go for a Schweinwaxen...

TacoBusHound, next time you are in NYC craving schweinhaxen, go to Maloney&Porcelli's for their crackling pork shank (rated #1 dish in the USA at some point, by a local NYC rag no doubt)
re: barleywino
...now you tell me! Crackling pork shank? God, now I can rest in peace. Good night.
re: terrier
They do a pretty fair pub-grub offering, for a place with a kitchen the size of a shoe-closet. Really want German "cuisine?" This probably isn't the spot, but I liked the Paprikaschnitzel ("Pork cutlet dusted with paprika and sautéed with onions and peppers. Served with spätzle and rotkohl (red cabbage). A gypsy favorite. ...$14.50") and they have plenty of exotic beer. It is a nice place to have in the neighborhood, though mostly as a pub.
The People's Pub has a pretty good selection of beers and the atmosphere is definately a neighborhood bar - dark and old looking. No polished chrome or mirrors there.
The food is Americanized German food, but decent for bar food.
I think it's worth giving a try.
I don't like Prost's food. I also don't think it's very cozy of a place either. Something about it just doesn't seem very warm and inviting... maybe the lights are too bright. Anyway, I'd much rather go to the People's Pub.
As for Feiraband, I've eaten there once. The food was decent, but again it's not the coziest place for a drink. Don't get me wrong, we had fun and we enjoyed our food and our beers, but it doesn't really have a warm, cozy kneipe feel like the People's Pub.
Yes. It is a very quaint, warm place to have an extremely large german beer. Their menu is limited as compared to the others but I haven't had a chance to eat there. I'm guessing it centers on traditional beer hall grub --- wursts and pretzels. Anyone else?
They don't have that much food at Prost. I had a bratwurst there once. It was boiled, not grilled, so it was just okay.
