Planning a trip to D.C., have a couple specific food questions...
- Absonot Mar 4, 2010 03:53 PM
My husband and I live in San Francisco and will coming to D.C. in the fall. I'm starting my planning already, and have two questions:
1. We're hoping to stay in a hotel that is walking distance from a good variety of foodie-friendly destinations of all price ranges. What neighborhoods (or hotels for that matter) should we focus on?
2. What foods are D.C. known for? Specifically, which ethnic foods are strong there? We don't want to miss out on things we can't get here!
Thank in advance!
P.S. feel free to chime in with any specific "can't miss" restaurants.
1. Neighborhood — I would choose the Chinatown/Penn Quarter area.
2. Foods — half-smokes, Ethiopian, Vietnamese (outside the city)...i know there are more but i'm not thinking of any at the moment.
Regarding question 2. There are great ethnic foods in the DC metro area. In Northern VA you will find a huge Vietnamese population as well as Korean. Also, there are large Peruvian and Salvadorian populations. All those are extremely well represented in restaurants. There are also some very good mughlai/kabob type places and a half a dozen excellent Ethiopian restaurants. If you would like specific recommendations, just let me/us know.
I agree that Chinatown/Gallery Place/Penn Quarter is probably the best neighborhood for your needs - but there are others in the second tier: Dupont Circle, Capitol Hill, U St. ... Also, the DC Metro is very user-friendly and easy to navigate so I would suggest using it to branch out of whatever neighborhood you find yourself in.
I agree with what others have said about foods that DC is known for - especially Ethiopian and the "DC half-smoke." However, I've had better Vietnamese food in SF than I've had here. In particular, I have been searching in vain for a bahn mi that rivals Saigon Sandwiches on Larkin St. or for a Vietnamese place that could come near the Slanted Door (at least before it moved - not sure about it now). Korean places here are worth going to, but the best ones are not accessible by Metro. I would add soul food to the list.
For can't miss restaurants, this would be my list:
Etete (Ethiopian)
The quintessential place to get a half smoke is the ultra-famous Ben's Chili Bowl, but I think a better one can be found at the Eastern Market on Capitol Hill, which is very fun to go to on a Sat. for many reasons. The half smoke is absolutely a food that DC is known for and they can be good, but I don't think it will rock your world.
Rasika - upscale, very creative, adventurous food that uses Indian as its base, then takes flight. Their palak chaat has a huge fan club!
Oohs and Aahs (soul food)
I hope you enjoy our city!
re: jaydreb
Or if you want have fun w/ crabs, go to the Seafood Wharf under the 14th St bridge.
Its one of the last (might be the only) open air seafood markets on the East Coast/Mid Atlantic. You buy the crabs live. They spice and steam them on the spot, and you break them open over newspaper in the small standing tabled eating area nearby, over looking the docks/water. Other little shops at the Wharf sell crab cakes, sandwiches, chowders, oysters... all kinds of seafood meals.
I think you have some very good information already.
I would second the recommendations to stay in Penn Quarter/Chinatown or Capitol Hill because they have close proximity to multiple color metro lines and are walkable to many of the sites.
I would try to stop by the Eastern Market for a crab cake or somewhere for a crab cake as suggested. They are very different from West Coast crab. I would second the recommendation for Rasika for Indian. It is really different and I think very good. As said above Northern Virginia has a large Korean/Vietnamese and Thai population. If you wanted to visit that area you could metro out the orange line a little and pick up a zipcar. Present and Four Sisters are two of the best for Vietnamese. Although I know you have good Vietnamese there. Han Gang is one of my favorites for Korean, as is Honey Pig for Korean BBQ. I think classic/modern American is also something DC does well, you might try Palena, New Heights or Corduroy or Central for this. We have many of the same things that SF does so it makes it a little difficult. I love the peruvian chicken here in the area, I think El Pollo Rico has the best chicken itself, but not as good of sides as other places. And I love a lot of the Salvadorian food, too. And I think DC does French/Belgian food very well.
I am sure your plans for the day dictate what you will be near, though.
You might want to give Tyler Cowens Ethnic dining Guide a look - http://www.gmu.edu/centers/publicchoi...
Alot of the places are in the 'burbs, but it's an interesting and fun read.
Some unique choices that maybe you can't get in SF:
In the Penn Quarter area, you should check out CoCo Sala for their unusual menu of cacao-inspired foods. Tiny menu of small plates: limited to salads, sliders, and mac n' cheese. Flights of chocolate for dessert.
Also in Penn Quarter, the Latina Dim Sum Brunch at Cafe Atlantico is amazing. Sundays only. Unique to DC.
For completely downscale, true hole-in-the-wall, try Oohhs and Aahhs for soul food, near a metro station. One of you gets the broiled crabcake, the other gets the lemon pepper wings. Greens and rice with gravy.
If you go to the National Gallery of Art, take in the lunch NGA's Garden Cafe, menu created by Michel Richard. Super-convenient and shockingly good for a museum.
Near The White House, go for Breadline, a sandwich shop open only for midweek lunch. Their best sandwich is the bbq - Fridays only- order it on a ciabatta.
Againn, an Irish gastropub, near 10th and New York Aves.
That's kind of a tough one. The Penn Quarter area has plenty of good restaurants, some outstanding, and nice (but not inexpensive) hotels, but the real ethnic restaurants are in places where you wouldn't want to stay. Penn Quarter is pretty much the crossroads of the Metro (subway) so you can get into the nooks and crannies from there. As an alternate, you might look at hotels around Union Station. There are some pretty good restaurants right in the neighborhood, and the Metro Red line goes there (which means you're more likely to need to change trains to get to where you're heading).
re: MikeR
Yeah, I realized after I posted that we're really more interested in staying in a centrally-located hotel that allows us easy access to the Metro + good walkability than a place that's in the middle of good restaurants (who can afford to eat at 4 star places every night? Not us.). Penn Quarter is ideal but might be a bit too pricey for our 5 day stay.
I'm very excited to hear about the Ethiopian options, and agree that Saigon sandwiches here in SF is hard to beat. Maybe we'll focus more on the things there we can't get here.
Unfortunately, husband has a very strong aversion to crabs in their shells, so we/I may have to de-prioritize that excellent suggestion. Too bad.
re: Absonot
That's why god made crab cakes!
re: Absonot
In terms of your hotel, if I were you (and clearly I'm not!) I would focus on getting the cheapest central-ish located hotel you can find that is within easy walking distance of a Metro station - on any line, really. The Metro is really easy to use. You might want to familiarize yourself a bit with their system map before you come, which you can find on their website: www.wmata.com
In addition to Etete, I like Dukem and I've heard great things about Queen Makeda, which is next on my list of places to try the next time I get a hankerin' for Ethiopian. All these places are near the U St. Metro. Also near that Metro stop are the aforementioned Oohs and Aahs (you can't get this in SF!) and Ben's Chili Bowl, as well as the upstairs at Marvin, a really nice neighborhood watering hole - especially when the weather is nice. I think U St. is the best for nightlife in DC.
There is an excellent and recent report on Rasika here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/691037
I really think you'd enjoy the Eastern Market on Sat. morning. Breakfast at Market Lunch there is a very popular activity - get there early to avoid a long line. Or for fast and cheap - grab a hot half smoke in there to eat standing up.
In addition to Saigon Sandwiches, two other SF places that have no competition here are Incanto and A16, so I would cede that territory to them!
re: woodleyparkhound
Great advice regarding the hotel...we are avid mass transit users so that sounds like the best approach. Can't wait to try great Ethiopian, either.
re: Absonot
there are lots more great options in DC than there were 10 years ago, but I have to 2nd (or 4th) Ethiopian. my intro was Axum on Lower Haight which I liked, but the Injeera sponge bread is so much better here (granted SF wins on Baguette) but I'm still sort of disappointed. great French, Spanish (any Jose Andres place) soul/southern and seafood, a few great Japanese places, but yeah, sadly one has to run out to the suburbs for the out-of-the-way finds.
re: Absonot
Just to throw out on the hotel question that my experience is the best deals here are at B&B's -- and good breakfast isn't always easy to find here, so getting that out of way at the hotel can be a good idea. I've only seen the inside of two or three of them, but you can find lists online and figure out a good location. I know, for example, there's one with an African-American literature theme around U St which would put you in a good location for some of places recommended here. Tabard Inn, also, has a restaurant that's recommended a lot, in the Dupont neighborhood. Not sure if there are any in Penn Quarter, but on the Hill there are.

I moved here from SF 2.5 years ago and here is my advice to a fellow San Franciscan re: Question #2 --
Do not bother eating Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai or Indian food here. You can get superior food back home for less. Trust me.
Everyone tells me that the Ethiopian food here is really good. I'm not a huge Ethiopian food fan so I cannot vouch for the authenticity of this claim. That's just what I've heard.
While Mexican food is ubiquitous and delicious back home, in this area, it's very hard to find but what you can find is lots of Central American cuisine, like Bolivian and Salvadorean. I would say that Central American is one of the stronger ethnic foods here that is lacking in contrast to SF.
For a "local" experience, I'd recommend ordering a dozen or so crabs at a seafood place. It's messy but good, and definitely something you don't do back home, except at a crab feed, but these crabs are smaller than the Dungeness ones. I've been to the Quarterdeck in Arlington, but that may not be convenient for you in DC.
re: lesan
Chinese in D.C. isn't going to stack up that well to the West Coast obviously, but you can find some pretty legit Szechuan. In the city you may not find extraordinary Vietnamese, but I have a hard time believing that the shops at Eden Center don't measure up. There are a lot of Vietnamese here, and a lot American locals with personal experience living in Vietnam from the war, who I'm sure insist on great food -- there's a reason famous chefs and the food network wander into the suburbs to find/feature this amped up strip mall.
Lesan is right about the price, but you can find equal and maybe superior Indian here. Like a lot of things, you have to be willing to go to the suburbs where these immigrant communities live. There, the clientele is 90% expat and the prices are normal.
Mexican is pretty weak here, true... allow me to speak blasphemy though... I'll take a Chipotle burrito over a soupy bean Cali burrito most days... I SAID IT
re: Russel Shank
As someone who has lived in both SF and DC (currently), I think the quality of the vietnamese in both places is about equal, certain places edging out others in a head-to-head comparison (banh mi places on Larkin, for example). But from what I experienced, Russel is right, there is nothing like the Eden Center in SF. It's really an amazing little enclave. Went again for the second time last weekend (wish I remembered the name of the deli, but it's one of the slightly bigger ones, in the upper lefthand corner, if that makes any sense), and was just blown away. The sandwich itself was great, although I prefered my husband's roasted pork to my pate, but the vast assortment of colorful, interesting products is just really fun. I highly, highly recommend Eden Center for a visitor.
re: lesan
VN food in SF is pretty sad. It's definitely a weak spot in the SF culinary scene, but at least it's better in San Jose, which isn't too outrageously far. But of course, nothing compares to Little Saigon on Orange County. Everyone talks about Eden Center being this beacon of good food but I'm just not that impressed by it. I'm glad that it's there because it's better than nothing, but I also grew up in Southern CA and spent quite a bit of time in Orange County, where Eden Center would be just a speck in the landscape of Little Saigon there.
But here is my point -- why come from SF to here to eat food that you can get better back home? It's a waste. Sure, you can find "pretty decent" Asian food here, but why bother when you know that it's still 10 times better back in CA?
When you're here, eat MD crab cakes, and go to Ben's Chili Bowl (the food is greasy American and is pretty good but not mindblowing... more of an experience), 2 Amy's (good pizza), and Amsterdam Falafel.

re: lesan
It's such a shame to go to Ben's Chili Bowl when, in the same neighborhood, you have four of DC's top Chowhound destinations: Oohhs and Aahhs, Thai X-ing, Queen Makeda, and Etete.
Amsterdam Feleafel is absolutely nothing to go out of your way for. It is hardly serious for a felafel bar.

I would say the most happening place to be in DC if you're on a budget is the Adams Morgan area. 18th street (which is about a 15 minute walk from the Woodley park/zoo/ adams morgan metro) has tons of salvadorian, ethiopian and even west african resturants that are pretty cheap, and many have live music or happy hours as well.
I'm a broke college student, who has also lived in SF, so places that I've enjoyed in my very low price range are as follows:
Amsterdam Falafel in Adams Morgan: They have great falafel for about 5 dollars but the real uniqueness is their toppings bar which is extensive and insanely delicious. Their fries are also out of this world. I've had falafel in SF and this is way better. Also on 18th st is Madam's Organ which does southern cooking, which is something SF is lacking.
Bens Chilli Bowl on U st: the food isn't that amazing but definitely a DC stable, Obama and Bill Cosby are frequents. I usually get chilli cheese fries which are enormous and pretty cheap, and I ALWAYS get a milkshake because they can combine flavors (I get banana cherry). U St also has good soul food.
Sticky Fingers: a vegan bakery in Columbia Heights. Columbia heights, Mt. Pleasant and Adams Morgan are all pretty much in walking distance from each other and have an excellent collection of Central American food and eclectic bars. Mt. Pleasant st also has Radhius pizza and Marx Cafe, which have excellent food and a cool atmosphere.
2 Amys: a bit of a walk from the tenleytown metro stop, but It's some of the best pizza I've ever had. About 12 dollars for a large one, get salami if you eat meat.
- I'd recommend Eastern Market for breakfast or the crab cakes. They have a great flea market type of set up.
As far as upscale venues, I've heard good things about Marvin (also on U St, and a cool bar at night), Indique (the best Indian food I've ever had, but pricey). Citronello, Dino, and Komi.
re: lauraz
lauraz: does Amsterdam falafel beat that place at 16th and Valencia in SF? (name escapes me - Truly Med? if so I have to go)
and for Salvadorean I haven't found anything in DC proper that beats Panchita's in SF. but I do have to say for Indian nuthin' beats Rasika in DC, granted it's not cheap.
re: hill food
hill food: As I was reading down through this, I was thinking that while I like Amsterdam Falafel, it isn't NEARLY as good as that place in SF... what was the name??? Then I got to your post. TRULY MEDITERRANEAN!!! That's the place. In my opinion, Amsterdam Falafel doesn't come within 10 miles of the deliciousness I encountered at TM!! But it's hard to compare them, really. They both do falafel, but in a completely different way. Still - no comparison in my opinion.
Amsterdam Falafelshop
2425 18th St NW, Washington, DC 20009
re: woodleyparkhound
thanks for the tip WPH as I rarely make it over to Adams Morgan
re: lauraz
Amsterdam Felafel is ok for DC but can't compare to Max's in Wheaton.
I would stay in Penn Quarter because it is so accessible to metro, museums, and good food. In fact, I like the Hotel Monaco because it is more reasonable than many DC hotels, kinda cool, and has a good bar - always nice to grab a cocktail before heading out (and good bar food too). Restaurant Poste in the hotel is pretty good, although expensive. Nice outdoor patio.
If you stay in Penn Quarter, it's great for combining touring and eating. Going to the National Portrait Gallery? Then grab a glass of wine and some amazing cheese at the bar at Proof across the street (you'll feel right at home because I know you'll need some good wine).
Go to some of the Jose Andres places that are everywhere in Penn Quarter. Yes, you have many small plates places that are amazing in SF, but I think it would be fun to see what our celebrity chefs offer here. Do the Jose Andres grazing tour - couple of tapas at Jaleo, grab a ceviche at the ceviche bar across the street at Oyamel, and finish up a couple blocks up at Zaytinya (Greek/Turkish influence). If you like what you have, go to the Cafe' Atlantico Latin Dim Sum brunch on Sunday in the same area. Also, try Central on Pennsylvania Avenue another night if you want to sample some Michel Richard cuisine at not so terrible prices. If you don't have the difficult-to-get reservation, just try to eat at the bar which is definitiely possible for two people.
Do a U street night too. Go to Dukem for Ethiopian, then hit one of the bars/lounges, and when you get the munchies again, head with the late night crowed to Ben's Chilli Bowl for a half smoke. (That night will may require some Rolaids).
If you want to tour the sites in Old Town Alexandria (not sure how long you are here but if it's for more than a couple days, it's a nice historic destination to check out if you are into early American history), then of course you must try the places owned by Cathal Armstrong (not sure I spelled that correctly) - fish n' chips at Eammon's for lunch, tour of old town, then a drink at PX, and dinner at Eve if you want to break the bank. (Or just eat the lunch special at Eve in the bar on a weekday for $13.)
Oh, and yes, agree with everyone who said you need to have some MD crabs - either in crabcake or shell form. I know people are going to yell at me because it is so touristy and not mega amazing from a food perspective, but I actually think Clyde's is a great destination for visitors because a) it's across from White House, b) I like all the rooms and the animal heads in the bar (plus the rumor that they were shot by Teddy Roosevelt), and c) the crab cake is pretty good and the staff is friendly. It's a Washington institution and the crab cake is a good enough version to have if you are trying to combine sightseeing/food sampling.
Anyway, just some ideas to combine food/touring and do more than one place per night. I like to graze at lots of different places when I go to SF, so thought you might like to do the same.

re: baconjen
The dancing crab in tenley town I think is the only traditional "crab shack" in dc. Where you can order steamed crabs (males if they ask) or crab cakes. Blue crabs are a staple for any out of towners. If you like pubs fados across from the verizon center, Is a really cool place. both of these are metro accesible. And I would stay in farragut north or "midtown" as we call it, or Dupont circle (and no it's not all gay) That offers a million plaaces to eat and aren't crappy franchises. Both are the most central located in dc

What's that? It's not something you were born with? Then surely it must have happened recently. Is your boyfriend here? I know this may be hard to deal with at a bar, but I have the number of a really good abuse hot-line if you want it. My friend works there and says that 75% of all domestic abuse incidents are never even reported
So you don't have a boyfriend? Well, I'm just all out of ideas here. You don't mind if I poke it do you? Oh, that's weird. It's sort of hollow, and crunchy. Is that like a secret reserve of hairspray that you can use when you're at the bar? It must be a bitch to carry around an aerosol can of that stuff in your purse
Hey! I'm sorry; I didn't know you were so sensitive about people touching your head. So you don't use that poof of hair to hide stuff? Then you must use it to minimize the appearance of your enormous forehead. That's a smart move. I had this friend in kindergarten who had a whole lot of face, too. He ate crayons, but that was the least of his worries
OK, if it's not any of those then what's the deal with your dome? Aerodynamics? Embarrassed of your height? Just thought you'd try the inverted-bangs haircut since regular bangs stopped being cool in middle school? Maybe this is a girl's version of a faux hawk? Or maybe you want to look mildly retarded when you go out at night because it gets you a discount on cover?
No? Nothing?
Well, don't have any more guesses. Can I at least buy you a drink and maybe later raunchily make out with you at the bar? Sweet. Just one more thing. That shit won't still be on top of your head in the morning… will it?

Unpredictable playoffs give scrappy Pacers hope
By Lacy J. Banks firstname.lastname@example.com April 25, 2011 11:32PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
So why shouldn't the Indiana Pacers believe they can beat the Bulls in Game 5 tonight at the United Center?
This season, the NBA playoffs are resembling the topsy-turvy NCAA tournament.
''Yes, it does look like the NCAA tournament, where the best teams or the teams with the best record are not winning," Pacers forward Danny Granger said. "So it's good to see some surprises in the NBA."
In the West, the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies are up 3-1 on the San Antonio Spurs, and the seventh-seeded New Orleans Hornets are tied 2-2 with the Los Angeles Lakers.
"I always thought Memphis was an underrated team, anyway," Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough said. "But I'm not comparing us to any of those guys because they've all won a lot more games."
In the East, the Boston Celtics will get extra rest after sweeping the New York Knicks. But the eighth-seeded Pacers, down 3-1, and the seventh-seeded Philadelphia 76ers, down 3-1 against the Miami Heat, have forced fifth games.
"We're really just worried about our series, honestly," Granger said. "We're just trying to go get a win [tonight], and we know we can. . . . We have them shooting under 40 percent [39.8] from the field, we're forcing more turnovers, battling them better on the boards and finally shooting more free throws."
Perhaps the biggest reason the Pacers have been so competitive is their bench.
During the regular season, the Bulls' bench usually outplayed opposing reserves. After being outscored 25-23 in Game 1, the Pacers' bench has outscored the Bulls' 103-57 in the last three games.
"Because we're a deep team, our bench has played well all season," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said after his bench outscored the Bulls' 43-22 in Game 2. "That's why we felt no need to shorten our rotation to seven or eight players like most playoff teams do."
So Vogel has been using 11 players, the same as Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau.
Pacers reserve guards A.J. Price and Dahntay Jones and forwards Jeff Foster and Josh McRoberts have been key contributors every game, defensively and offensively. Jones' tight, physical defense is even believed to be wearing out Bulls star Derrick Rose.
The Pacers don't believe Rose will be hampered by a sprained left ankle suffered in the first quarter of Game 4.
"In the NBA, nobody is ever 100 percent," Granger said. "Something is always hurting you."
Vogel said he expects Rose to be 100 percent and will hound him with Jones, Brandon Rush and Paul George.
"Anybody who has played knows that when you sprain an ankle, it's sore a little bit until you play and the adrenaline starts flowing," Vogel said. "Then you pretty much don't feel it. So we expect him to be 100 percent."

So, this post has absolutely nothing to do with wall coverings. Uh huh, you read correctly.
It has diddly squat to do with appreciation of period detailing. Yep, indeedy.
And there will be NO mention of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, 3D Visualisation, cushions nor Tolix. Breaks my heart. Can you hear my heart breaking? Well, can you??!
In this fast paced society in which we live, the 'wanting it all and wanting it now' syndrome is very much a commonplace ethos. Why is everyone so goddam impatient?! And I'm just as guilty when it comes to my own ambitions and personal goals. But at what cost? This was supposed to bring me happiness. Am I happy? I certainly am NOT!
I've been running myself ragged with my full-time job commitments, my studying and my freelancing. And the result?
I'm burnt out.
My sleep pattern is shot to sh*t; my appetite has disappeared and my hair looks like poo. And I'm ALL about my hair, it's my security blanket. Seriously, if my hair doesn't look right then my whole world feels out of focus. Weird but true.
It's time to regroup. And that can mean only one thing: something has to take a back seat, temporarily at the very least. So I've made the decision to take a break from my studies.
It's time to unwind and have a little fun, fun, FUN!
Don't fret, I'll still be posting my usual ramblings where interior design is concerned but life is for living, right?! It's about waking up in the morning and appreciating what you've got, not dreading the fact that you are constantly bound by a zillion deadlines. Especially when YOU created most of those deadlines!!
I still want it all. But just not NOW.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- A man was convicted Thursday of running a prostitution ring in eastern Iowa and forcing his girlfriends and sons to help manage the business.
Robert Sallis, 49, faces up to 25 years in prison for ongoing criminal conduct.
Prosecutors argued he was the mastermind behind Naughty by Nature, a prostitution business he ran in 2004 and 2005 from a Cosgrove apartment and later from a Williamsburg house.
Assistant Johnson County Attorney Anne Lahey said Sallis threatened and coerced two girlfriends into managing his prostitution enterprise, enlisting the help of his sons in recruiting prostitutes and deciding how it would run.
"He was the mastermind of this business," Lahey said in closing arguments Thursday morning. "He was basically the CEO."
Pat Ingram, Sallis' attorney, told the jury that prosecutors based their case on testimony from accomplices who would get deals for their help.
"If someone lied under oath once, they could do it again," Ingram said. "Not everyone who came up and raised their hand over here is someone you can put your faith in."
The jury began deliberation Thursday afternoon, following more than a day of testimony by Sallis' former girlfriends, prostitutes, investigators and customers. Deliberations took less than three hours.
Sallis was arrested last year as part of a larger state and federal investigation into Sallis' son, Demont Bowie of Wellman. Bowie, a convicted sex offender, was sentenced last fall to 35 years in prison for kidnapping a 13-year-old Minneapolis girl.
Bowie brought the girl to Sallis' Cosgrove home on Easter 2005, federal court records state. Sallis employed the girl in prostitution in northeast Iowa for three weeks. Sallis' girlfriend sent the girl back to Minneapolis after learning her age, federal court records state.

Do you remember that commercial where the man is drinking a soda (if I remember correctly), filling his body and coating his teeth with refined sugars and providing nothing in the way of nutrition, and then, in a burst of heaven-sent inspiration, realizes (a bit too late, it seems), "I could've had a V8!"? Really, as far as I can tell, it's a fact he knew at some level all along.
Well, sometimes relationships are like that, too–people wind up picking the unhealthy, damaging choice, only to say afterwards that they knew, deep down, they just weren't getting tomato juice.
Throughout my years in practice, I have had more than a handful of patients involved with partners who are, to be extremely tactful–unpleasant. Controlling, ungiving–sometimes downright nasty.
What are the warning signs when you first meet and engage with a person, that they might be "unpleasant" people with whom to spend a lifetime?
Let me start you off with my younger daughter who was, during an unpleasant stretch for all involved, Queen of the Blind Date.
No need to go into all the gory details, but, as the experience evolved, she noticed certain situations where the date was, for lack of a better term, somewhat on the jerky side. I believe she has a good eye, and that she identified a few of the following warning signs:
Early Warning Signs That Your Partner Might Not End Up Being Prince/Princess Charming
On a date, your partner–fine and able-bodied–parks in a handicapped parking spot, as it's closer and more convenient.
You've once again left your umbrella in the car, hopefully at least keeping your seats dry, as you've left your windows open, too. You and your partner walk through the rain. He opens his umbrella and holds it over himself alone, leaving you to the same wet fate as your car.
Your partner walks first through into a building, failing to hold the door, or even delay its shutting as you find yourself scrambling not to be left outdoors.
You pick up your girlfriend for the evening, and she–kindly referred to as "the chatterbox"–launches into a complex story involving her mother, her great-aunt Esther, her second cousin Herbie's tie–and a grapefruit. She never does get around to asking how you are.
And let's include in here partners–and friends, too, really–who never ask about you and how you're doing in any deep way. Perhaps they provide a cursory, "how are you?" but they don't bother to know who the players are in your life, to know your hopes and dreams, to know your hurts and losses.
Another from my daughter's diaries: A date who stiffs the waiter at the restaurant, without extenuating circumstances, might not be someone to whom you want to tie your fate.
Yet another of her gems: She dated a man for a short while who was never pleased with his first table–and often not his second, or even his third–at a restaurant. It was standard operating procedure for him to ask his waiter to move him twice–and she had hidden her head, mortified, each time, finally walking out once he asked to have a different table yet again. Hypothesis: This will be a hard man to please, and he will make no bones about his displeasure.
And what of the date at a restaurant whose food comes first, and, without the slightest encouragement from you, digs in, while you watch, fascinated?
The man or woman who doesn't believe in following communal rules will, most likely, not believe in respecting yours either. My younger daughter lives in a condo building. In order to keep up the value of the place, no renting is allowed, and every owner signs on to that when approved through the board. But on my daughter's floor is a young man who got married to a woman who already owned a house. Realizing that, with the market such as it is, he wouldn't be selling their condo too soon, he merely underhandedly rented, asking all to collude in the deal and hide it from the business office. There is a young man quick to put his own needs before others'–and a man, I might guess, who might be slow to accommodate his own partner's needs, if they didn't fit with what suited him.
To avoid: What I call "The Shoulder-Rider." Anyone caught in traffic has experienced this one. Two lanes merge into one, and traffic is backed up for miles. The weary commuters have worked out a system combining the forking lines of cars. Our friend? He pulls out of the line of traffic, scoots over to the shoulder, and speeds past those poor fools waiting patiently. Then, at the final merging point, he signals (how chivalrous), and muscles his car in, impressed with himself for having bypassed 25 minutes of stop-and-go. Take a pass on this prince.
Any healthy young person who won't give up his or her seat on the train or bus to an elderly or handicapped person, or a pregnant woman, is probably one you'd do best staying away from.
Speaking of the devil, Joan, a lovely woman in her 50s, has a handicapped placard she can hang over her rearview mirror so that she can have the best access when caring for her aging mother. Her husband Joe pulls out the placard when he can't find a parking spot nearby his favorite restaurants and shops. Apparently it's just one of his many charms. I wouldn't recommend Joe so fast, should Joan ever decide to move on, placard in hand.
Although Lisa, as a second grade teacher in a poor district, had far less money than Lou, her lawyer date, she always insisted on splitting things equally. But every time they went out to eat Lou ordered not just a bottle of wine, but multiple entrees, saying he liked 'a bit of this and a bit of that,' and, besides, he could always pack of up the leftovers and take them home. Time for Lisa to reconsider.
Janey is extremely social and loves to talk. Really, there isn't anyone in her elevator building she wouldn't like to pass the time of day with. So when she gets in the elevator but sees someone outside in the lobby, she puts her foot in the elevator and chats the day away. When the tenants have to wait unreasonably long for the elevator, they shrug and say, "Must be Janey." Something for her partner to think about before they sign on to marry her and improve the building's vertical transportation.
Beware: The Insincere Returner. Lisa has a taste for designer clothes, but not the budget. So she buys a fancy dress at a store [she's done this multiple times, but knows she needs to rotate her retail maneuvers], wears it the desired affair, and then returns it, showing how this or that thread is pulled, and she'd like her money back. Leonard buys clothes at Nordstrom Rack, and insists that Nordstrom should take them back. His profit margin in this endeavor is excellent, and he brags about it to all who will listen. The dishonesty and deceit inherent in these moves should be a warning signal to you–watch out, or, better yet, stay away.
- Finally–for the moment–be cautious about committing yourself to a life with someone who can't make it through a half hour on your dates without checking his IPhone or Blackberry. Someone who regularly spends more than a few minutes of your date time chatting on his cell–barring emergency–might also not be the greatest find.
Sometimes inconsideration is localized, and a person who doesn't believe he has to wait in traffic or should tip a waiter for his efforts or should actually walk to the restaurant instead of pulling out his mother-in-law's handicapped placard–they can turn out to be the King of Selflessness in other areas. But it's not too common. If you see warning signs like these as you're dating, maybe it's time to re-consider–while you still can have your V8 and drink it, too.
Here's hoping you had a lovely dating experience, and have a flawless marriage. But, just in case you find your sometimes find your spouse ungiving, difficult, or just plain awful–what were warning signs you had that your partner wasn't going to be a V8?
And if and when you want out, don't go it alone. Make sure a neutral wintess and guide is with you. Another good case for mediation.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
'Big Breakfast' Diet Helps Shed Pounds
Big Breakfast Diet continued...
"We know women who don't eat breakfast are more likely to do impulsive, unplanned snacking," she says. "It's no big surprise that having breakfast and having protein is a good thing when it comes to weight loss."
"We know protein will have the biggest effect on the feeling of fullness," she says. "It's always important to have protein at each meal."
But she has some misgivings about both diets, contending that the daily calorie allotment and the carbohydrate intake was too low in both groups. "One hundred thirty grams of carbohydrate are the minimum for our brain to keep working," she says, citing guidelines from the National Academy of Sciences.
To achieve weight loss, she advises eating breakfast every day, including protein at each meal, and also focusing on eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
While the participants in the study were all obese, Jakubowicz says she thinks the plan will work for those with less weight to lose, too.
"I think this is the right way of eating, even if you are thin. I think it works for everybody and especially for obesity."

By Jessica Creagan
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -- A "Tree of Life" will be blooming at a local thrift store this fall season.
Fifteen-year-old artist Lyle Michos will see his artwork grow to be larger than life next month when a professional artist comes to town and turns his picture into a mural on the front of Heaven Sent Thrift Shoppe in Vero Beach.
Heaven Sent Thrift Shoppe is associated with The Source, a nonprofit organization helping the homeless and near-homeless in the community with food, clothing, counseling, job referrals and more. All of the proceeds earned at Heaven Sent benefit The Source, but there are many in the community that don't even know the shop exists, said Dennis Bartholomew, executive director of The Source.
Enter Lyle and other young artists from around the county.
This summer, The Source asked students in the sixth through 12th grades to create a drawing that could be transposed as a mural on the storefront of Heaven Sent and visually set the building apart from the other buildings as motorists drive by, Mr. Bartholomew said.
Lyle's submission of two trees and black and white portraits of people was done in markers. In contrast to the people, the trees were vibrant and striking in blues, greens, yellows and oranges.
He said he purposely put young, almost baby faces at the bottom of the tree, near the roots, and as the tree goes up toward to highest branches, the faces get older, illustrating the link between people, no matter their age.
When he first heard about the contest, he didn't know The Source's mission.
"Now I know they are doing good things to help people in the community," said Lyle, a student at Indian River Charter High School.
Last week, the top three finishers in the art contest were presented to county commissioners and their art will be displayed at the county administration building.
Commissioners praised the students' work and participation in something that will help the nonprofit increase visibility, and hopefully get more funds to carry out their mission.
Victoria Vendryes, 11, a student at Master's Academy in Vero Beach, submitted her drawing using pastels as her medium and won second place.
The soft colors depict people representing her family playing together outdoors underneath a rainbow, sun, and framed by crosses.
"I thought about my family and I thought about people being happy and that's why I put a rainbow and the cross for Jesus," Victoria said.
"I felt very happy and thankful that people liked it," she said.
Third-place went to Katie Valentin, a homeschooled student. She chose crayons to create an aquarium scene with many little fish and a Bible verse to be painted on the door of the building.
"I heard about it on the radio, Christian FM," Katie said.
She and her family have volunteered at The Source previously, helping serve food.
"We have a fish tank at home, so I think that's where I got the idea," she said with a shy smile.
The thrift store offers the community previously owned furniture, household goods, curios, clothing, toys and many more types of items, The Source's website said.
Heaven Sent is open and staffed by volunteers Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations are accepted during business hours at the rear door.
Heaven Sent Thrift Shoppe is located at 1239 16th St., Vero Beach. For more information about the shop, call (772) 299-6303. For more information about The Source, visit www.iamthesource.org.

A philandering husband with the initials J.R. A drunk Sue Ellen. A major revenge plan involving Cliff Barnes. TNT's Dallas reboot is looking more than ever the way the show did in its '80s heyday. After securely establishing its own roots over the past two seasons by introducing a compelling new generation of Ewings, producers are now freely embracing the soap's rich history.

To help make up for the loss of Larry Hagman's J.R. Ewing, TNT's Dallas is raising the stakes for its third season, which premieres Feb. 24.

TNT's Dallas will kick off its third season — the first without the late Larry Hagman as J.R. — on Monday, Feb. 24 at 9/8c. The season will start with a run of eight episodes before going on hiatus and returning in the summer with seven more.
"We will have two season openers and two cliffhangers," teases showrunner Cynthia Cidre. "We have tried this season to make the show more about Ewing family conflicts — secrets, lies and betrayals. And I think we have succeeded."
Patrick Duffy, Priscilla Presley
Over the summer, Priscilla Presley got her Facebook friends excited by posting, "For all of those who mentioned that you would like to see me on Dallas, thank you very much for that support! We will see what happens..."
But are the writers of TNT's reboot really considering bringing back Jenna Wade, whom Presley played from 1983 to '88?

Monday's episode of Dallas marks the show's final farewell to J.R. Ewing, and the reboot's first episode without the late Larry Hagman. But behind the scenes, the man behind TV's most famous eyebrows was still a very strong presence. "The property department set his chair out every day and wardrobe would put his hat on it and he was still No. 1 on our call sheet," executive producer Michael M. Robin tells TVGuide.com. "So he was still kind of there with us every day."

Christopher's petition for annulment was rejected! Ann's long-lost daughter hates her guts! Sue Ellen lost the election! It was an eventful return to Dallas on last week's two-hour season premiere. After five months off the air, the Ewing clan & Co. wasted no time answering some of fans' biggest burning questions from the first season finale, and raising some new ones for Season 2 (Mondays at 9/8c on TNT).

Two months after Larry Hagman's November 23 death, the Dallas cast past and present has assembled at the city's swanky Petroleum Club to shoot an epic, drama-filled memorial for his legendary J.R. Ewing. Among the mourners who have returned to pay their respects — or disrespects — are Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval), Gary and Lucy Ewing (Ted Shackelford and Charlene Tilton), Ray Krebbs (Steve Kanaly), Mandy Winger (Deborah Shelton) and Cally Harper Ewing (Cathy Podewell). On set, the late actor's spirit is still very much alive. Each morning when he passes Hagman's trailer, Patrick Duffy, who plays Bobby Ewing, knocks on his friend's door. "Not like I'm expecting him to say, 'Come in,'" Duffy says. "But just to say to Larry, 'I'm still here, pal.'" And if you believe some of Hagman's costars, he's been knocking right back.

Larry Hagman, the television icon best known for playing J.R. Ewing on CBS' Dallas as well as TNT's current incarnation, died Friday, TVGuide.com has confirmed. He was 81.

A small, radical band of zealots is attempting to take over the United States government and may be in the process of crashing the nation's economy.
The federal government has had its ups and downs since 1789 but seldom has its foundations and operations been as threatened as they are right now. Serious people are now giving serious thought to whether the Congress of the United States can function properly any longer. And, as often happens, the spark that is setting it off is over a usually trivial, routine matter that suddenly becomes momentous.
By LINDSAY OLIVIER
NORTH KINGSTOWN – It might be hard to imagine but the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks is a little over a month away.
Now, for the first time, North Kingstown will represent Rhode Island in hosting one of the nation's most well-known memorial events.
Special to the Standard
SAUNDERSTOWN – Graham Gardner confesses that before he received an invitation to present an original design at the prestigious Newport Flower Show, he'd been flying under the radar.
Very far.
A one-man operation, he typically has a dozen clients with ongoing design projects he's preparing and fine-tuning.
"I had no real name before then," he says. "When the flower show called and I realized they were going to do PR, I had to choose something."
CHARLESTOWN - The earliest recorded history of people living in southern Rhode Island dates back hundreds of years. Before the Civil and Revolutionary wars, before Roger Williams helped lay the foundation of this state, and before the first European explores ever set sail into the Narragansett Bay, there were indigenous American people.
NARRAGANSETT—On Monday evening, the town council approved a motion to adopt parking changes in the Scarborough Hills area of Narragansett. Residents have expressed frustration with the oft-occurring disturbances that tourists cause by parking in the streets of the Scarborough Hills area.

Special to the Standard
NORTH KINGSTOWN – The 1973 three-quarter ton Chevy P-20 truck is just the same as when it rolled off the assembly line. It has 357,000 miles and only two people have owned it.
Of course, none of this matters to the legions who clamor at the side window when the van rolls up playing the theme from "The Entertainer." From the smallest toddler to the giddiest bride to the most dedicated construction worker, they all share one thing in common.
Ice cream.
This is Jack's Ice Cream truck, a musical purveyor of summertime happiness.
As of 8:30 a.m. Friday morning, the South Kingstown School Committee and NEASK have reached a tentative agreement on a school contract.
The two negotiating teams met Thursday evening at 5 p.m. at Broad Rock Middle School and continued negotiations into the night. Details of the tentative agreement is currently confidential, however.
The union general membership will meet Aug. 11 to review the tentative agreement. The school committee will meet Aug. 16 during its regularly scheduled meeting to review the agreement as well.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Chariho High School sophomore Paige Pajarillo, 15, engages in many activities that are common for girls her age, such as reading, playing sports and spending time with her friends. However, she got the chance to do something last week that very few high school girls can say they have.
NARRAGANSETT—Visitors to Narragansett Town Beach had something of a false alarm on Wednesday when a shark sighting was reported to the lifeguards at South Beach Pavilion. Lifeguards shut down the beach for about an hour in order to make sure that all of the beachgoers were safe, and no further shark sighting was reported.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – The Fishing Cove Elementary School playground will soon be accessible to handicapped children, the result of a directive from the Rhode Island Governors Commission on Disabilities.
Lisa Windham lodged a complaint on behalf of her daughter, Laura, 7, who suffers from spastic paraplegia, a neuromuscular disease. The child uses a walker and could not reach the equipment because the playground had a mulch surface.

Freeskier Magazine
Undermining the status quo has been part of FREESKIER's DNA since our inception in 1998. Today the insurgency continues, and now our target is the role and definition of media.
We're no longer just a magazine company. Today, FREESKIER is a mutli-platform, multi-channel connection between the ski industry and skiers. Every year our staff creates six magazines, thousands of photos, countless stories and hundreds of videos, and we distribute this massive pool of ski content through print, podcast, website, social media and more.
Our readers' expectations of media and advertisers are evolving at lightning pace. Today's youth are aware, active and involved. They want content in their hands, on their computers and on their phones. They demand a truly horizontal conversation between writer, industry and reader. Our goal at FREESKIER is to facilitate that conversation — whether it takes place on Facebook.com or Freeskier.com — and to work both independently and in conjunction with our partners create the content that skiers are talking about.
"FREESKIER Magazine has turned the ski media landscape upside down with their innovative approach to the sport, and also with the integrated 'new media' strategy that they re-invent all day, every day. We love that!"
- Jean-Yves Couput, US Marketing Director / Global Outdoor Brand Manager, SALOMON USA
The advent of social and online media offers ski industry companies the potential to communicate directly with their consumers, but they must have both the content and the savvy to do it with an authentic voice. To help our clients bridge that gap, Storm Mountain Publishing is pleased to announce the launch of Storm Mountain Media, a small, nimble in-house agency designed to handle the custom content and online media needs of today's advertiser.
Make no mistake: print is not dead. FREESKIER magazine continues to thrive, and continues to be our signature product. But our print magazines represent just one branch of a 21st century media company. At FREESKIER, we are positioned to flourish in a new media ecosystem by combining print, online, social and custom media to help our partners achieve their goals. The agility and forward-thinking company culture that established us as leaders in a skiing revolution will enable FREESKIER to stay ahead of the media curve for the next decade.

Sh*t ke side effects: you lose a lot of ballast.
No use whatsoever putting your life s little pleasures on hold. In the end those will be your only good memories. Not the Nobel you won nor your promotion to CEO nor the million dollars in your Swiss account. Nor the bereavements, the divorces, the sicknesses. Nothing will remain save a couple of inane family insider jokes, fading echoes of seventy year old songs and some very rare mental snapshots of real friends.
Yes, life sucks.
Yes, it happens.
Yes, when it happens, you don t want to do anything.
But there never really will be that perfect moment to do things, unmarred by tragedies and/or inconveniences and/or deficiency of time.
My blog, irregular, imperfect, is still my blog. It s real. It s on my list of little pleasures that are not little. And it continues.

So many potential shows to see this fall (or hear if for $30 'obstructed view').
Chris Thile - Sonata No. 1 in G Minor, BWV 1001 II. Fuga Allegro
Fiona Apple - Fast As You Can
…and yes that is Chris Thile on mandolin. So much awesome on one stage.
Chris Thile plays Bach in Gm for the encore at the Orange Peel in Asheville on 2/20/11
He'll be playing with Brad Mehldau at The Berklee Performance Center on Sunday, April 14th. I have to go to that show.
(Source: thewomanandthebell)
Chris Thile covering Fiona Apple's 'Fast As You Can'
Chris Thile covering Sufjan Stevens' Impossible Soul
Not the best sound quality, but I love what he does with this cover.
Heart in a Cage - Chris Thile
I think this is the second or third time I've posted some version of this song to my blog, but it's so awesome, and this video is worth it just for the intro section - where the guy claps after the vocal and Chris is totally chill about it.
I've been picking out this song on guitar from the studio version, but I love what he does with this as a solo performance. I'll have to see how much of this live version can transfer from his mandolin to my Telecaster. I kept running into range issues with the studio version…my guitar needs more notes. I also have no idea how to use The Amazing Slow Downer on a video (if it's even possible…I'm sure in some convoluted way it is…) so let's hope those ear training exercises worked ;-)

Telecom Equipment Providers in Focus
Damon is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The April-quarter results released by telecom-equipment provider Ciena (NASDAQ: CIEN) were impressive only when compared with its prior-year numbers. It lost $0.27 a share, while revenues jumped 6%. Nevertheless, management's guidance for third-quarter revenues in the $515 million to $545 million range, versus $508 million in the April quarter, propelled the shares to a solid double-digit gain. This showing encouraged investors like myself that the sector, one of last year's worst-performing, is, in fact, bouncing back nicely in 2013. A review of my February blog and March blog, each discussing telecom equipment and telecom firms, gives an idea of the background.
To get a feeling for whether the companies are in rebound mode, let's take a look at the telecom equipment market's most prominent participants.
First off, Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) has started the year well, although sales gains have been driven largely by the acquisition of NDS. Steady earnings advances have persisted at the networking giant. Management cites margin expansion as one of the primary reasons behind its improved earnings tallies. Additionally, it mentioned a number of other factors that might support higher profits.
Specifically, it is well-positioned in fast-growing product markets, including cloud data center, as well as Service Provider product lines such as WiFi and Video. Innovation is still key to its profit expansion, with 10%-15% of revenues being invested in Research and Development. Moreover, order increases are being generated across numerous customer markets (Enterprise, Commercial, SP, and Public Sector, and key geographies including the U.S. and emerging regions, offset by challenges in Europe. Furthermore, Cisco has been returning cash to shareholders and enhancing the Information Technology model it offers to customers.
A look into a couple of the other major equipment suppliers should reveal favorable forecasts, as well, and share prices poised to climb further. Namely, QUALCOMM (NASDAQ: QCOM) for one, is on the leading edge of new mobile technologies, and its profits are on pace to soar this year as a result. The shares, however, appear to be reasonably valued.
QUALCOMM is a main beneficiary of the 3G and 4G transition, along with the proliferation of smartphones here and abroad. Equipment revenues are climbing at an exceptional rate, thanks to sales of data communications, networking products etc. Plus, its R&D budget dwarfs that of Cisco in proportion to sales at nearly 20%, investments that I think will serve it well. Spending is targeted at mobile computing technologies, and what it calls "the internet of everything," whereby it eventually intends to serve industries like auto, security and smart energy. Interestingly, GM, BMW and Audi will incorporate its LTE products in their fleets by 2015.
Rounding out the discussion, JDS Uniphase (NASDAQ: JDSU) stock gained on the Ciena news and could be a good choice for momentum-based investors, although the company has yet to see the rebound firsthand. JDS is likely to meet or surpass its June-quarter revenue outlook of $420 million to $440 million, up from $405 million in the March term.
JDS' customers are many of the biggest telecom service firms. Along these lines, spending trends are positive.
The company is broadening its customer base in telecom and data networking, while improving its product lines and developing applications for its commercial lasers, a category in which it specializes. Examples include home entertainment and PCs.
With segments composed of test and measurement products, commercial optical products, and security/performance products, JDS Uniphase is a broadband/mobile end-market supplier. This year's cyclical upturn ought to begin being noticeable in June-quarter results and as JDS Uniphase embarks on fiscal 2014 (years end in June).
In conclusion, telecom equipment and infrastructure companies are bouncing back. Those that have kept their distance based on the dismal 2012 performance may want to reconsider investments. Shares are mostly trading at below-average valuations in terms of price-to-earnings ratios and have not run up during 2013.

A newly released survey ranks penis size by country, and the results are not particularly good for American men, who clock in at an average of 5.1 inches—behind 16 other nations, including Russia, France, Germany, the U.K., and (gasp!) Canada. What the fuck?
I mean, the fact that, say, The Republic of Congo blew away the competition with an average of 7.1 inches isn't exactly a shock, but CANADA?? It's simply more than we can bear.
Read on for the complete list of the 16 countries that boast a bigger bulge—and a slew of really offensive reasons why America is still better than them. Because they may take our collective penis, but they'll never take our collective freedom.
Republic of Congo (7.1"): A must-visit—if you want to get eaten by a lion at the intersection of Rape and Pillage.
Ecuador (7"): The perfect place to NOT stop on the way to Peru.
Ghana (6.8"): If you live in Ghana, you'd better be good at soccer, because it's either that, or join a band of roving pirates.
Colombia (6.7"): And if we were always jacked up on coke, we'd probably be convinced we were packing 6.7" of heat, too.
Iceland (6.5"): At least two of those inches can be attributed to the icicle that permanently attaches itself to your tip when you live in a country that's always cold as balls.
Italy (6.2"): Ok, Giuseppe, we'll believe this as soon as you stop trying to make the Speedo happen.
South Africa (6"): Johannesburg: The city most likely to attract an alien spacecraft. Perfect.
Sweden (5.9"): A nation whose greatest contribution to society is Swedish Fish and Stockholm Syndrome? No thank you.
Greece (5.8"): Can you say "functioning economy" in Greek? Nope, because there is no word for that.
Germany (5.7"): It's not that your junk is actually bigger, it's just that your swimmers are running away from your groins so aggressively that it creates the illusion of length.
New Zealand (5.5"): Um, Australia is already on this list—so it's almost like you're bragging. Not cool, dudes.
UK (5.5"): Your dicks may be .5 inches bigger than ours, but remember: your teeth are the first thing people see.
Canada (5.5"): If Canadians truly have a more substantial shaft, it's only to compensate for the fact that they have no balls.
Spain (5.5"): Well, at least now you can be known for something other than tapas. And the Inquisition.
France (5.3"): We're just spit-balling here, but maybe your nether regions just seem bigger when you say it with that haughty fucking accent?
Australia (5.2"): Have you ever had a Foster's or eaten in an Outback Steakhouse? No, because no one has.
Russia (5.2"): You commies must LOVE this "average" bullshit. Whatever.
Show me more funny!
My 5.1" wonder wants to see girls!

How To: Make Pumpkin Puree
You have your pumpkin, it's split in half, and you're ready to bake a pie! How do you get that the pumpkin from its orange shell into a pie crust? You will need to transform it into pumpkin puree.
Making your own puree has benefits - it's fresher, and you can roast the pumpkin into a darker, sweeter flavor. Plus you have all those seeds to roast and eat too!
First you'll roast the pumpkin, then puree its flesh. This will last for a few days in the fridge, or a few months in the freezer. Step-by-step directions below.
1. Scrape the seeds and attached strings out of your split pumpkin. They will look something like the photo above. Don't throw these away! If you don't have time to deal with them now, however, you can cover the bowl and refrigerate for several days.
2. Heat the oven to 400ºF. Place the two halves cut side up in a baking dish and roast for about an hour or until very soft inside. Remove from the oven and let cool.
3. Scrape up all the flesh inside the pumpkin, leaving only an empty shell or rind behind. If there is a lot of thick flesh that is too hard to be scraped up, then the pumpkin needs to roast longer.
4. Put all that scraped up pumpkin in a food processor or food mill and puree until smooth. Refrigerate immediately; this will last for a few days in the fridge or a couple months in the freezer, well-sealed. When you take it out to use it you will probably notice some water separation. Make sure to drain this water away before using it in a recipe.
We have one of our favorite pumpkin recipes coming up in just a little bit!

I'll have to try this when we make pumpkin-praline pie. Thanks for the tips!
Making your own puree really makes a difference in pumpkin pie. It tastes fresh and alive. I do it every year in my pies with the dense sweet flesh of red kuri squash.
I generally roast mine in a casserole with about a CM of water. 30 minutes cut side up and 30 more minutes cut side down, in a 350-400 oven. It works pretty well, but I may try this too.
I just wanted to let you know, we found this page tremendously useful! We've linked to it from our page on How to Make Pumpkin Pie:
Thanks for the great information!
Great! Thanks rednikki.

Banks say a safe mortgage is a maximum of 3 times the buyer's annual income with a 20% downpayment. Landlords say a safe price is set by the rental market; annual rent should be at least 9% of the purchase price, or else the price is just too high.And:
Because it's usually still much cheaper to rent than to own the same size and quality house, in the same school district. In rich neighborhoods, annual rents are often 2.5% of purchase price while mortgage rates are 5%, so it costs twice as much to borrow the money as it does to borrow the house. Renters win and owners lose! Worse, total owner costs including taxes, maintenance, and insurance come to about 9% of purchase price, which is more than three times the cost of renting and wipes out any income tax benefit.I think there are valid reasons to take a bath on a house, if only for the psychological benefits of putting down roots in a community. But don't buy a house expecting to make money on the deal, and don't stretch yourself financially unless your mortgage will be cheaper than rent.

The St. Olaf student population spends, on an average weekend, about $1,000 to $2,000 at Dominos of Northfield. Students spent $1,000 in the Pause last week. In the 2003 fiscal year, departments, student organizations and residence hall councils spent $10,152.94 at Dominos. Department charges in the Pause came to $5,047.25.
Now, we understand some of the reasons for buying from Dominos. Theyre open until 2 a.m., and they deliver seven days a week. The Pause stops taking pizza orders at 11:30 p.m. and only delivers nights, Sunday-Thursday. If you need pizza and the Pause isnt open, we know that you have to go to Dominos. We do that ourselves, right here in the Messenger office. Or, perhaps, if you have two broken legs on a Friday night we know that trekking over to the Pause would be difficult.
But if you are not broken and you are not having a craving at 1:30 a.m., we are making a demand, right here, right now: buy your pizza at the Pause.
Heres why: the College is having budget problems to the tune of $3.2 million dollars. The Pause is part of the College. It is better, therefore, to have money flowing into and within the College than flowing out into a national franchise. What has Dominos done for you lately? If we spend more money at the Pause, the Pause has more money. If the Pause has more money, they can get bigger bands, deal financially with replacing Arbstock, get better programming and buy better equipment for their kitchen, the den and the stage.
And, perhaps the most important, the Pause executives reminded us that if more money flows into the Pause, they will need less money from SGA. If they need less money, that means that the College has more money. And then the College can spend their money elsewhere and maybe even keep other programs from being cut.
Order from the Pause. Pause pizza is cheaper than Dominos pizza. A large from the Pause costs eight dollars. A large from Dominos will put you out $13.50.
Order from the Pause. Their pizza is good. They have garlic cheese bread. They have cheap sodas. They have pretzels and cheese. They have malts.
Order from the Pause. It could help the budget. It is cheaper. It is closer. It is not hard to walk across campus, even if the temperature is below zero. And if it is hard, make the sacrifice. If you have two broken legs, send your roommate. Your friends work in the Pause, sometimes to finance their college education. Help them out. Pay them a visit.
And by the way, wed like green olives. A large. From the Pause.
