TJ's is my fav chinese food in Peace River. They usually have a good buffet, but be warned, if you are coming here for lunch and ordering off the menu, it can be a bit slow.
Spring rolls were frozen inside. Really. Waitress was very nice and sent them to the kitchen to be replaced.
The buffet is just not what it used to be. Not a great selection and the service is poor because there's usually only one cook and waitress on at a time, it seems. Came in on a Monday for lunch and ordered wings. They were out from the weekend. Miss the old buffet selection and quality of food served.
Tjs never disappoints. It's dependable, tasty food and decent portions. Their buffet doesn't vary much but it doesn't have to, it's worth trying. This has been a go-to spot for myself and the wife for a while now, ever sonnet moving to the area. :-)
This Chinese restaurant has very good Chinese food and very busy for lunch and dinner. When i go to eat I usually order a loaded hamburg. Why? They make the best burger in town, handmade not frozen cardboard. One of the owners, Sue, gets a real chuckle of of me because I like my burgers VERY spicy. Good atmosphere and... More
Great War Won Ton, Busy place, good service, reasonable price. Will return next time I ma in Peace River
We have tried other restaurants but have found TJ's is the best. They, Serina and Bob , go out of their way to make it an enjoyable experience. The food is super good and hot. I don't care for meat and they will make steamed food -the best is almond nut ding--no MSG or Garlic ,a special dish for me.... More
definetely the best in Peace River, not the best I have ever had but decent enought to come back again and again nice staff, good selection
TJ's has good Buffets on Tuesdays and Fridays. They also have good deep fried squid. Another dish is beef and thick rice noodles. Awesome!
Nice family owned restaurant. Very tasty Chinese food. Love that the family knows so many guests, especially Romeo (owner?). Great place, decent price.

Power cuts along with steep hike in prices of raw materials - clay, hay - switch off the light of smile
Last year this season, Kondayanpettai kosavars (potters) were a happier lot: the prolonged power cuts this year have made them stow away their electric thiruvais (potter's wheels) and get back to the traditional hand spun wheel.
Throw in some steep hikes in the prices of raw materials like clay, coconut mattais and hay, and the community seems to be making lesser profits despite the continuing demand for their agals (clay lamps).
"On the electric wheel we could make up to 1,000 lamps a day, but that has fallen to a paltry few hundreds this year, thanks to the power situation," says Mallika from Keela Kondayanpettai.
While her husband's electric wheel has almost fallen into disuse, she and her mother-in-law have been toiling over their hand spun wheel.
Starting early
"With the power cuts almost halving our production, we had to start working towards our Karthigai season target two months in advance this year," she says.
Beginning their day around 8 a.m. daily, the women wrap up only by five in the evening, stopping only to eat or to stretch themselves out.
"If we worked non-stop like this we might hope to make around 300 to 500 lamps by the end of the day," says Anjalai, Mallika's mother-in-law.
Pointing to different corners in and around their house, courtyard and backyard, the women explain the processes involved in lamp-making: "The clay sourced from fields and river banks is dried for a day under the sun, soaked in water overnight, softened by stamping with feet, and heaped onto the wheel, where with deft movements of the hand, new agals are sliced away every few minutes.
"While a 100 stacks of hay and a 100 coconut mattais have gone up to Rs.100 (from Rs. 50) and Rs.50 (from Rs. 30), the clay has jumped to Rs.2,500 per lorry load, denting their profits the maximum.
Lesser for less
"Even though there is a healthy demand for our lamps, people are unwilling to take into account the rise in production costs," says Devaki, who sells the lamps she bought from potters.
A set of 100 lamps has been pegged at Rs.80 for the Karthigai season, while the same batch will fetch only about Rs.60 in lean seasons around the year.
"This year, we are selling lesser lamps at low prices," she says, hopeful of a mere 100 rupees margin for every 1,000 lamps they buy in wholesale.
Direct orders from people and temples in places such as Madurai, Bangalore and Tiruparangundram do come every Karthigai season, and that is their only way of making some extra money.
"If the government gave us subsidy on raw materials for the Karthigai season, we would be able to set aside a few batches of lamps to tide us through the following months at least," says Mallika.
Besides these issues thwarting production, the potters have to deal with natural threats: "If it rains now, there will be a scurry to protect the lamps from getting wet under our leaky thatched roofs," says Aandiyappan, "because wet lamps can crack and doom our already bleak prospects."

Mortgage rates for 30-year US loans decline for a third week
Bloomberg News
U.S. mortgage rates for 30-year loans fell for a third week, reducing borrowing costs as housing demand regains strength.
The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 4.12 percent this week, down from 4.14 percent, Freddie Mac said in a statement today. The average 15-year rate held at 3.22 percent, according to the McLean, Virginia-based mortgage-finance company.
Home purchases are accelerating after a slow start to the year. Contracts to buy previously owned U.S. houses climbed 6.1 percent in May, the biggest monthly gain since April 2010, the National Association of Realtors said this week. Strict credit standards are holding back some buyers who may want to take advantage of the drop in loan costs from the beginning of 2014.
"Housing is on a slow recovery path with credit conditions being crucial to the outlook," Neil Dutta, head of U.S. economics at Renaissance Macro Research LLC in New York, said in a July 1 note to clients. "Real estate lending is picking up but far from booming."
Mortgage applications fell for a fifth time in six weeks, the Mortgage Bankers Association said yesterday. The group's purchase measure decreased 0.7 percent, while the refinancing gauge advanced 0.1 percent.
The average rate for a 30-year loan was 4.53 percent in early January, according to Freddie Mac.
Job growth is helping to bolster housing demand. U.S. employers added 288,000 workers in June and the jobless rate fell to 6.1 percent, almost a six-year low, Labor Department figures showed today.

Video Gamers Immortalized in Space by NCsoft

Video Gamers Immortalized in Space by NCsoft
Sending digital time capsule with human DNA on Richard Garriott's journey to International Space Station
Could you be the savior of humankind? NCsoft has announced it will launch the "Immortality Drive" – a time capsule with the digitized DNA of select video game players and space aficionados – into orbit when famed game designer Richard Garriott travels to the International Space Station in October 2008.
As part of NCsoft's "Operation Immortality," Richard Garriott – the man who created Tabula Rasa, a massively multiplayer online (MMO) PC game that explores the destruction of Earth – is now venturing into space to save humanity.
During the campaign, Tabula Rasa players have a chance to have their DNA sequenced, digitized and sent into space on the Immortality Drive. In addition, all players with active accounts on September 2, 2008 will have their Tabula Rasa characters uploaded to the device, giving them the opportunity to go to space virtually. In order to make this unique opportunity accessible to as many people as possible, free trials of the game are available at http://www.rgtr.com/trial. Garriott will place the Immortality Drive on the International Space Station when he travels there this fall.
"I've been able to do some very exciting things in the games business, but nothing of this magnitude," said Garriott, executive producer for Tabula Rasa at NCsoft. "I'm thrilled we can offer the once in a lifetime chance to millions of gamers to virtually go to space with me. A select few will have their DNA digitized and sent. And, theoretically, if anything happens to the human race, it could be their DNA that is used to resurrect humanity."
Starting today and lasting through August 31, 2008, anyone with a PC and an Internet connection can go to http://www.OperationImmortality.com and participate in weekly polls on humanity's greatest achievements which will be included on the Immortality Drive, such as "What is the greatest song of all time?" and "What is the greatest technological breakthrough of all time?" Current Tabula Rasa players, or those who download and play the free trial, will also be able to enter a personal message for inclusion on the Drive.
"This is your chance to leave your mark," says Garriott. "While everyone can participate in the polls at OperationImmortality.com, Tabula Rasa players will be the only gamers in the universe who can say that a piece of them is in space, since we're sending their in-game alter-egos, and for some, their DNA, to space with me."

Authors' response to Johnson.

Position: Research Associate
Institution: Harvard University

This comment was originally posted as a "Reader Response" on the publication date indicated above. All Reader Responses are now available as comments.
Johnson is quite correct to point out that there is a widespread problem of overuse of antibiotics in agriculture, which we ourselves refer to in our article. And indeed, it is clear that we should do our best to minimise this. However, it is also not clear that reductions in agriculture will solve the problem of antimicrobial resistant pathogens in our own societies because humans by no means share all of their pathogens with livestock.
Furthermore, we fully accept that implementing any program where antibiotics are not prescribed to all individuals that might benefit would be a very difficult thing to do. We do not question this and again it is stated as such in our article.
Our point is this, what if it comes to the point where we no longer have any antimicrobials at all to treat the really serious infections? Would it have been better (or indeed effective) if we had used less antimicrobials for minor infections along the way? That is, could we have saved lives at the cost of slight discomfort to others? If this is the case then it would be better to realise this now and act upon it than be in a situation where we can no longer save those with serious bacterial infections.
As to the suggestion that my coauthor and I, and our families, should refrain from all antimicrobial use, I fear this is reductio ad absurdum. We are not suggesting that all individuals refrain from all antimicrobial use. We are suggesting that in some cases, where the prognosis is good, it may be better to allow some individuals to fight infection alone and thereby reduce the load of resistant pathogens that affect individuals in more serious infections in the future. However, it is also important to note that our article is not saying that this is definitely a workable idea. We are far from fully understanding the societal cost of antimicrobial resistance and how best to combat it. Our goal was to raise this difficult idea in order to stimulate further discussion and research into the question of whether we are really facing a tragedy of antimicrobial resistance.

Cheap Eats Needed in Foggy Bottom
- 14 Comments
- Follow
For work I have to put together a list of inexpensive restaurants or take out spots near GW for conference members that will be in town and staying at the GW dorms.
I'm not as familar with the area so I need some help brain-storming restaurants. Nothing should be over $15---much cheaper the better. Chair restaurants are perfectly fine as well.
All restaurants should be within walking distance (3-6 blocks) of the GW campus.
The 51st St. Tavern is down there, and they had really cheap food. I haven't been there in a while though. I'm not sure if its within 6 blocks to GW, but Nirvana has great veg indian food, and they have an awesome lunch buffet. Charlie Chang's is right next door, but that's just blah chinese. Isn't there a mall near GW too?

Walking up 21st street the other day I noticed a new restaurant on the right side that may suit your purposes. It was one or two blocks below the Lisner - maybe the corner of F or G streets. I do not recall the name.
re: dcs
Possibly the new Tonic?
re: Elyssa
Yes, that's it. Tonic Restaurant @ Quigley's Pharmacy. Anybody been?
re: dcs
I haven't been to the new one but the original one has good sandwiches, good mac and cheese and tater tots! :)
I would include Mehran's at 2138 Pennsylvania Ave NW. Lots of decent curry and kabob type food. I think they are Pakistani. Lots of lunch food in the $4-$8 range. Good vegetarian options too.
Also, maybe not strictly Foggy Bottom, but Java Green is within 3-6 blocks too.

DJ's Fatsbreak, on the corner of 22nd and G, features a wide range of really cheap Asian bowls ($5) served cafeteria style. Also hamburgers, hot dogs, and a variety of sandwiches.

The Shops at 2000Penn (across the street from the Marvin Center) has a Bertucci's restaurant, plus a bunch of take out places (ranging from Lindy's pub to a Mexican takeout).

I played around with my new camera, taking some high speed video of my footstrike and myself running. Let me just say, that it's a lot of fun seeing things in slow motion. I got a lot of strange looks from people wondering who the crazy guy was running back and forth in front of a digital camera with crazy looking "shoes" on. I've done a little bit of analysis using the motion tracking software which I'll save for a later post. For now, enjoy:

Mayo Clinic may not participate with your HMO. An HMO usually requires prior authorization. Your doctor's referral isn't the same as an authorization for payment. Managed care plans such as an HMO may deny payment or reduce benefits if medical care is obtained outside of the established network or authorization of the plan. To avoid denial or reduction of benefits, it's to your advantage to contact your insurance carrier prior to services to determine plan requirements or limitations to receiving care outside of the network.
Mayo Clinic requests a pre-service deposit for all services that haven't been authorized by your insurer. Deposits are based on an estimate of the cost of services you or your doctor request, and deposits aren't necessarily payment in full. Your actual charges may be greater or lesser than the deposit. For example, charges for colonoscopy services vary depending on the number of polyps discovered and the pathology tests performed. If further testing or doctor consultations are necessary, additional deposits may be required. If the actual charges are less than your deposit, Mayo Clinic will refund the balance of your deposit.
If authorization for your services at Mayo Clinic can be verified with your HMO before you receive care, you won't be required to make a deposit for the authorized services. However, if additional services are necessary, Mayo Clinic will require further authorization or deposits. Further authorizations may take up to a week or more depending on the HMO or insurer's review process.
In the event additional charges are posted beyond the date of your visit, Mayo Clinic will send you an adjusted itemized statement of charges. You should pay for these additional services when you receive your monthly statement of account.

The 31-year-old netted his second goal for the Reds this term in a 3-2 victory over the Hammers after returning from a season-long loan at Ligue 1 outfit Lille in the summer.
Cole has struggled with form and injuries in the current campaign, but the playmaker appears to be finally improving after Brendan Rodgers urged the England international to justify his big wages in October.
QPR and West Ham have both been linked with the former Chelsea midfielder, but Cole is focusing on helping Liverpool climb the table, with the Reds just four points off the Champions League places.
"It was a good feeling to score again and an even better one to win for our fantastic supporters," Cole told Liverpool's website.
"When I came off the pitch after scoring against Young Boys, considering I haven't done much for Liverpool, the reception I got from the fans was amazing and it meant a lot to me.
"The fans can see I want to do well for this club and it was great to score a goal for them and get the three points.
"I really do think this team is making good progression. The players are getting better and better and really responding to the things the manager wants us to do."

Parts were as advertised and arrived super quick. Already have them installed and they are a perfect fit. This is the second order from Parts Geek and both times have been great. I highly recommend...

Dear Friends,
I'll never forget the wonderful laugh I got from my CFIDS Doctor the second time I saw him. He asked how I was doing. My answer was "I'm feeling enough better to be frustrated by the things I'm not well enough to do." And that pretty well describes how I'm feeling right now.
The last time I saw my present doctor, we made a couple of changes in my medications. I think that's why I'm feeling somewhat better, but with this disease, who knows for sure. Most nights, I am sleeping better, and longer. I feel less tired, but still tire easily when doing any physical activity. Some of my other symptoms; headaches, frequent bouts with IBS, seem to have improved somewhat as well, although my ache and pain level is about the same.
What this slight improvement has done is give me the energy to be aware of things I need or want to do that I was too tired to notice or consider before. I am getting a few of those things done, but not as many as I'd like because I still tire so easily. I can't believe I'm complaining about improvement! Or maybe my complaint is not enough improvement. I suspect all of my readers understand exactly how I'm feeling.
One of the things this improvement has made me a ware of is how isolating this disease is. When we are feeling our worst, we don't have the energy or interest to pay attention to much besides our physical selves. It's when we improve somewhat that we become aware of what this disease does to us, socially and emotionally.
I have always been very much a "people person." I loved the patient interaction portion of my nursing career. Now I am at home most of the time. Fortunately, I have my spouse and my cats for company, but the level of social contact is certainly decreased. I do interact with the world via my computer, but have far less energy for, or interest in conversations with others. There are some friends I stay in touch with, although frequently the total of my communication is forwarding some joke or other message that tells them I am still around. I'm on some support lists, and read most of the messages, but seldom post myself.
I can only imagine how lonely this disease enforced isolation must be for someone who lives alone. In addition to which, that person has to expend more energy than I do shopping, cooking etc., because I have the support of my spouse. Many of us are too sick to do much more than get through each day. But meeting those human needs of interaction with others plays a part in our getting better. Is it any wonder that many of us are depressed as a result of what this disease does to our lives?
Someone in one of my email groups used a good analogy the other day. He referred to the California cheese commercial where the Midwestern cow is trying to explain how great it is to be able to graze without having deal with snow. The California cows obviously don't understand what snow is. I think that explains very well what it is like to try to define this disease to anyone. When it is so difficult for others to understand, I know I tend to not try to explain. I just withdraw, which increases the isolation.
It is worth the effort to try to educate family and close friends because emotional/social support is so important. It might be helpful to seek out a local "face to face" support group. Even the support groups on line can be good, knowing you are understood, and letting you participate when you feel up to it, and just "lurk" when you don't. The chat rooms and message boards at ImmuneSupport.com are always available.
Maintaining friendships is difficult because I am not the same person. I have far less stamina to spend on activities with friends, less energy to laugh and have fun. So I am less able to work at the friendship. I have lost part of me, and so have my friends. Some of my friends will remain, and continue to be supportive. Others will fade away. And I will make new friends, but fewer than would have been involved in my "old" life.
A non-FM friend just suggested that a group of us organize a camping/hiking trip. I know I would have a great time with this group, but also know that this type of activity is out of the question for me. I'm jealous.
I am seeing some improvement, but not enough to have my life back. That makes the improvement somewhat bittersweet. While it's good to be able to see beyond my physical world again, I can also feel the anger and frustration, anew, about what this disease has taken away from me. I also know that I am not as sick as many of my readers, and that I have more support than many of them do. In that way, I'm lucky.
I'm happy to have the improvement I am seeing, as little as it is. But I want more. I want more for all of us who have this DD. There is a lot of research out there, so we can hope for improved physical treatment options. But it is up to each of us to maintain our support system, whether it be folks with the disease or other friends or family. If we have energy beyond our physical needs, human contact is where it needs to be focused. We need TLC, and have a need to reciprocate. I appreciate all of you, the kind words you send my way, and the things you share. I think of you, my readers, and hope that you, too, are seeing some improvement. Take care and be well.

Phoenix Investor Roundtable
Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014
11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Sponsored by Grow Southwest, Junior Achievement of AZ
Interested in meeting early-stage accredited investors in Phoenix? Then register for the FundingPost Investor RoundTable on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014. FundingPost has hosted 270+ sold-out venture events in 23 cities over the past 13 years.
At our next Phoenix Conference, the panels of local and out-of-town investors will focus on pitching to early-stage investors, and what it really takes to get them to write you a check! We will be discussing the things that are most important to them when they are considering an Investment, the best and worst things an entrepreneur can do to get their attention during a pitch, and, of course, the best ways to reach these and other Investors. There will be plenty of time for networking with the Investor panelists during the breaks and networking party!
The first 30 entrepreneur attendees to sign up will also get the option to pitch their business idea in 60 seconds or less in front of the investor panel and receive feedback as a group from the panel.
Along with the pitch competition, there is an educational and networking component to the event. All attendees will be gaining an understanding of what investors are looking for in the Phoenix market and what our entrepreneurs are building. All attendees will be able to market themselves (including their products and/or services) throughout the event through networking with one another.
