The Legislature breezed through one of its major hurdles on Monday, giving final approval to a mid-year adjustment to the state's $18 billion budget that will provide schools with an extra $83 million for additional students.
From my AJC colleague James Salzer:
The chambers agreed on a spending plan that runs through June 30 after adding $13 million to help fund the Morehouse School of Medicine, which made a last-minute plea to lawmakers for extra money. In total, Morehouse and the Mercer School of Medicine, another private medical school, will both get about $21 million in state funding this year.
But the details of the final negotiations are murky. For the first time in anyone's memory, there was no House-Senate conference committee to hammer out – in public – the final disagreements. The matter was settled privately, out of view of people who like to take note of the bargains struck.
Senate President pro tem Tommie Williams and a spokesman for Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle both said this was because there was so little disagreement between House and Senate versions that appointment of a conference committee wasn't worth the bother. A spokesman for House Speaker David Ralston said something similar.
But one suspects that there is more here than peace and harmony raising their rarely seen heads in the Capitol.
It is also significant that Cagle did not exercise one of the sole remaining powers left to him by Senate Republicans – appointment of a three-person conference committee. One wonders who would have been on it. And who wouldn't have.
Suspicion is that all were eager to avoid that fight until the very last days of the session.
Former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich on Monday confessed to the Des Moines Register that, yes, he and his team bungled last week's announcement that he planned to begin raising money to explore a 2012 candidacy for president:
"I wish we had been a little more structured last week. But I don't take it as a very serious problem. We do many, many things, and most of them reasonably well…
"We live in an age of 24-7 constant surveillance of really smart people, and every once in a while something ragged will happen to every single campaign," Gingrich said. "And I think the real trick is to relax, live it out and keep moving."
Sens. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., and Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, on Monday launched their campaign to convince the public that the mere trims now under discussion in Congress will do little to address the $14 trillion national debt.
Democrats would have to accept large holes in the social net. Republicans would have to swallow – well, let's call them revenue enhancements. From the Washington Post:
"None of us have ever voted for a tax increase, and I don't intend to," Chambliss said Monday. But the tax system is "way out of kilter," producing $1.1 trillion in revenue in 2009 while giving away $1.6 trillion in deductions and other breaks, he added. "We can do it in a fair and reasonable way and . . . actually lower rates and at the same time raise revenues."
…At the same time, the effort is also attracting strong supporters. This week, Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, the leaders of Obama's fiscal commission, are launching their own campaign to promote the Gang of Six talks. And despite reluctance at the White House to engage publicly on the issue, Bowles said in an interview that the president has named Vice President Biden as his "point guy" on the talks.
Democratic activist Amy Morton of Macon, formerly the voice of Georgia Women Vote, has launched a new blog that will address Southern Democrats as a whole: Cotton Patch Politics.
Her operating slogan comes from Matthew 28:11, as interpreted by the late Clarence Jordan: "Come to me, all of you who are frustrated and have had a bellyful, and I will give you zest."
Last week, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed paid a visit to Chicago, and in an interview with WBEZ radio, was asked if he had any advice for Chicago's mayor-elect, Rahm Emanuel. Said Reed:
"Overcommunicate. I've given 180 speeches since I've been mayor. So, you have to constantly explain what you're doing in every format and it helps get you through.
"It's not enough that you're in the office reviewing data that makes sense. You've gotta be willing to go into living rooms, barbershops, [and] neighborhood meetings to the point that you sound like a broken record and explain to people wherever they want to be explained to.
"You gotta keep explaining it in real time and you have to put yourself in a forum where the person says 'Hey, I saw that guy. I saw them stand up somewhere for 30 or 40 minutes and be questioned directly.' That's the world we're in. People like access to information, they like to see, touch and feel people, and personal contact is how you win the day.
"If you go out and do a bunch of hard things and don't overcommunicate, you're going to feel a backlash that comes from a lack of understanding. If you're doing the right thing, sit there in the living room for two or three hours and explain it."

"We live in an age of 24-7 constant surveillance of really smart people, and every once in a while something ragged will happen to every single campaign," Gingrich said."
Something ragged happened, as if he had no control over it. What a sociopath, and he's not as really smart as he thinks he is.

As we have been informed by the state's GOP overlords that legislation like final budgets and Sunday Sales of legal products does not need to take place in open public forums the people of Georgia should embrace this and with an eye on fiscal efficiency reduce state government to just the Governor, Lt Governor, Speaker of the House, and Senate Majority Leader; think of the savings and lack of ridicule we would face from our annual forty days legislative derangement
March 8th, 2011

Dear Newt,
Yes, everyone but Jesus can be bested by really smart Monday Morning Quarterbacks. The trick is to not look so amateurish and be tied to a financial web so complicated that in the two years you have planned to get rid of President Obama you could not simply state your intention to save us all on the date prescribed by your team. Best of luck

When asked about his revolving door of matrimony, Newt said his life "has had problems," as if his life was off divorcing women and banging mistresses while he was an unaware innocent, distracted by unwavering public service. Now, when he makes a bizarre misstep in his coy little flirtation with the press and public something "ragged…happened."
Boy, he loves that passive, uninvolved voice when he's screwed up and doesn't want to take responsibility. And people are actually admitting they'd vote for this 4 year old in a grownup's body?
March 8th, 2011
10:26 am
As the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) party, Republicans, and Libertarians say – spending is the problem as government grows unrestrained. And Chambliss is right – our tax system is a gross patchwork where an untaxed underground economy exists. But Republicans did nothing about this under Bush. Democrats turn a blind eye.

If the ol' boys who are elected because their last name is (R) could match their campaign rhetoric by cutting $100 billion from the military budget. It would accomplish their purposes and would only be missed by the Military Industrial Complex.

And all the Obama supporters post are facts? I do not plan on supporting Newt or Sarah in the primary. I think the media has just about spun their negatives up so high to the dumb masses that they can not overcome them to defeat Obama.
I only have to give one reason why Newt would be a better President than Obama. Newt is not a socialist/communist and Obama is. Nothing else should matter but, unfortunately, we have way to many people in this country that wants their entitlements and has a bad case of wealth envy.

My early leanings are away from Obama and away from Newt. I like the pramatist from Mass., Romney. No one is perfect but Romney at least sees the problems and is willing to work on the solutions. I don't see that from too many of the fiscally conservative candidates.
March 8th, 2011

You can line 'em all up from Gingrich to Huckabee to Romney and every one inbetween and "there ain't a dog that'll hunt amongst 'em!"
Keep looking and you may end up with McCain and Joe the Plumber.

Gingrich is only angling for either a V.P. spot or an appointment. Even though he is very smart and articulate, he has waaay too much baggage to win the nomination. Even with his big ego, he has to know it. His pandering to Iowa farmers with ethanol support to gain early gravitas will hurt him in all the other caucuses and primaries. Look for him to quickly drop out and endorse a likely winner to get the appointment he really seeks.

I for one have no problem voting for Newt , his personal life is of no concern to me. I assume everyone thought Jimmah Cawtah had an exemplary personal life and look what a total POS he was as a president. Hussein, for all we know, never cheated on Michelle (although the story from the beginning of Another brick in the wall pt2 does to mind….public ridicule ..beatings…fat psychopathic wives and what not) and look what a horrible president he has been.

Well Saxby, Warner and the so-called Gang of 6 are just full of posturing for the Tea Party types. Poll, after poll, after poll has shown that the voters don't want to mess with SS or what little is left of the safety net. People also want the rich and non job producing companies to pony up on the revenue side.
Slowly but surely, the public is becoming aware that the Republicans aren't about jobs and they aren't really about the deficit which isn't as big an issue as people claim, but can be substantially addressed without hurting teachers, police, firefighters,students, children, the poor, the sick, the unemployed, or busting unions and anyone else who is already suffering.
Btw..the latest polling has President Obama leading named Republican candidates like Huckabee by double-digits in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Conventional wisdom use to say that Republicans win control of the Congress, but the way they are going, it will all be in play and if President Obama wins a landslide again, all bets are off as to who will control the Congress.
Fake and fringe "conservatism" as practiced by Republicans and some Democrats has peaked. People now know that handing over $$$ to campaign contributors in the form of tax cuts and tax code and regulation changes doesn't produce jobs, balance state or national budgets, or address the concerns of the bottom 90% of households. Meanwhile the distractions about gay marriage, abortion, and the usual continue to occupy the agenda.

Trisha, you may not be concerned about Newt's personal life, but he's plenty concerned about yours. He's so worried you're not smart enough (like him) to make your own decisions, he'll help you with some laws. Isn't that nice of him and his hypocrite Republican buddies?

Mayor Reed practices exactly what he preaches. He's always available and always out there. Somewhere. (Chicago too it seems!) And will talk, in-depth, about our many complex issues and ideas to whomever, whether you're Joe on the street, a Pulitzer winning journo from the AJC, a yappy TV news type looking for a quickie SOT, or a blogger like me. His office staff no doubt hates this about him as it's scheduling-havoc, but he will stay and listen and answer questions until there is no one left in the room. No matter if you agree or disagree with him on the issue at hand, his accessibility is 100% impressive. And powerful.

Until the righties admit that Bush the President was an abject failure, both to America and to the Republican Party, and that the Republican Congress from 1994 – 2006 was an abject failure, both to America and to the Republican Party, I cannot listen to any of them claim that one of their nominees will be 100 times better than Obama.

Bush and the Republican Congress did a poor job – no doubt. But Obama and his Democrat Congress did even worse, and that is why the House already went back to the Republicans and the now toothless Senate is going to go back to the R's in 2012.
We are doomed to lurch from the two bunches of politicians who are only concerned about getting elected, helping themselves and their cronies.
March 8th, 2011

Our forefathers are turning over in their graves; and I know there is a God, I am asking him to help all of us. Money have destroyed many of our lives; for some they have to much, and millions have to less. We are pricing ourselves right on out of the limits of how much is to much. Our homes, businesses, families and this country is caught up into to much of unpleasant situations where it hard for just one person to stop and think that we can do a better job handling the finance of America. Once this happen, america will start to grow. The economy is the people putting money back into it; with such funds, things dry up and jobs are now the reason. ONe person out of job affects everyone of us; and when we start firing people (calling it a lay off) that is even worse. Every Congressmen needs to realize that all of the bills they are introducing is not saving not one person or one business; how much can you take from tax payers…how much have you actually given to the needs of american citizens who have worked and paid taxes all of their lives and in this economy; the cry outs are many, yet, no congressman or representative is hearing them. The sound of help has linger for the last two years; and while we give billions to other countries; we do not give anything to our own suffering citizens right here in america. We all should be enbrassed at our government for looking out for others instead of its own! The day will come when America people are not treated that way. How do you all feel?

Obama went WAAAY beyond Bush's domestic spending and AIG bailout. The huge amount of added debt he piled on will have repercussions for decades.
And what triggered this horrendous recession was the Democrats (Frank and Dodd) who gutted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lending rules that led to the housing crash.

Republicans controlled all three branches of the government between the years 2002 and 2006. During those years George Bush ran around the country touting the high rate of home ownership under his watch. Wall Street knelt prostrate at the altar of the bubble blowing Alan Greenspan. But the recession is all the fault of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. I can always tell when someone gets their opinions from Fox News. They sound just like my 85 year old mother who watches Fox News all day long in the retirement home.

It was a Democratic Congress since 2007 before the recession hit. Rules for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were so loosened by Congress led by Frank and Dodd for subprime lending without employment or asset verification that mortgages and the housing market was doomed to failure.
Pretending it was Bush or Republicans is pure revisionism – but that is what partisans do.
March 8th, 2011

Americans have been hoodwinked, for the past 100 years or so. Everyone thinks they are middle class and refuse to take government handouts. I say all you conservatives head down to the local social security and welfare offices and ask for a check. Then you can get some of you tax money back.
Why spend your lives making $18K to $35K per year and lie to yourselves that you are middle class, that you have "made it" and that the poor are losers who are too lazy to improve themselves You ARE the poor.
Now come on over to my law office and buy a bankruptcy and a divorce. Thanks.
March 8th, 2011
1:45 pm
Let me get this straight: you are blaming the 2007 collapse of the housing market on the 2007 Congress? You are telling me that Barney Frank and Chris Dodd manipulated the rules in 2007 and they immediately caused the collapse?
And then…AND THEN…you say that anyone who disclaims your lunacy is a revisionist historian?
Centrist, you are certainly not a centrist. You are in the middle of something, obviously, but not in the middle of the political spectrum.
No, you're a centrist in a lie.
March 8th, 2011
1:59 pm
The Democratic Congress of 2007 was elected in 2006. Frank and Dodd had been pushing for years to stop "redlining" and open up unsustainable borrowing – and they got their wish. The recession started soon after.
And yes, I am a centrist on non-economic issues. Anti-interventionist, pro-choice, and opposed to the Republican attempts to make our nation a Christian theocracy.

March 8th, 2011

All of our states and federal government has always to some degree been a plutarchy. Both political parties rule that way – but class warfare where the non-taxpayers vote for more largess at the expense of taxpayers is dooming the American dream.

Let me get this straight: you are blaming the 2007 collapse of the housing market on the 2007 Congress? You are telling me that Barney Frank and Chris Dodd manipulated the rules in 2007 and they immediately caused the collapse?
The bubble in the housing market was caused by the Community reinvestment act (1977) under Carter. It was then "enhanced" in 1993 (under Clinton and before Newt). This so called "enhancements" included forcing banks to loan money to people that were at high risk of defaulting. The banking industry did not want to take on all this risk and therefore invented the derivative scheme to break up mortgages into smaller pieces and buy and sell them to decrease risk. The Bush administration saw this huge problem and went to Frank and Dodd in 2007 to try to change it before the bubble busted but they refused.
Now are the Republicans totally blameless? No, they knew what was going on and would not change it either when they were in charge. Let us lay the blame where it should be. The liberals wanted housing to be an entitlement and pass the act that forced banks to make bad loans and the banking industry found a way to reduce their risk and make a ton of money so their Republican friend did nothing to stop the problem.

PLAYERS: Jered Weaver
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels
Your browser does not support iframes. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Jered Weaver has looked like a Cy Young contender through the early part of the 2012 MLB season, but he could not beat the Rangers on Sunday night. In fact, he was shellacked by them. Just two starts after his no-hitter, Weaver allowed eight earned runs on 10 hits and could not get out of the fourth inning. With the way the Rangers' offense has been clicking this year, not many pitchers have gone deep into games in Arlington this season. Either he wanted to show Rangers fans that he wasn't phased by hearing Ray Charles' "Hit the Road, Jack" after throwing 3 and 1/3 brutal innings, or Weaver just really likes the tune. Whatever the reason, Jered decided to sing along on his way off the mound. Another day, another victim in Texas. At least this one appears to have handled it well. H/T Deadspin

In a community that takes rights seriously, consent features pervasively in both moral and legal discourse as a justifying reason: stated simply, where there is consent, there can be no complaint. However, without a clear appreciation of the nature of a consent-based justification, its integrity, both in principle and in practice, is liable to be compromised.... more...

The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day can't fight in here. This is the War Room!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes Pic!
Did you know that Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove originally ended with a pie fight? Sure you did! You're all good geeks. The original ending has long been discussed by Kubrick geeks, but not much has come out from the filming of this silly ending in which the war room literally erupts into a food fight.
Kubrick called the original ending "a disaster of Homeric proportions," but damned if I don't want to see it… just like I want to see that original tag on the end of The Shining that some New Yorkers almost got to see.
While I don't have the full scene to share, I do have a couple nice images from the filming of this scene, featuring Stan the Man preparing to launch a creamy missile (that sounded dirty, forget I said that) and George C. Scott laughing at the absurdity of it all! Enjoy!
If you have a behind the scenes shot you'd like to submit to this column, you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tomorrow's pic is not Roger!

George C. Scott was great in this movie
by Scorchy
What a terrific actor. I'm stunned to see him smiling, it didn't seem to happen very often in movies. I think of this, Patton, his turn as Scrooge....when did he smile?

The greatest comedy of all time?
by DanielnocharismaCraig
I'm going to get some serious flack for this one, but this might just be Kubrick's best masterpiece. Shows how comedy should be constructed. With alot of subtle humor and even more teeth.

by chad kuhns
This is probably the best comedy of all time, and probably Kubrick's best, because it was a film that showed regardless of what came before or after, he wasn't someone that could be pigeonholed in to any one genre, and he had a better understand of human nature and dark comedy. It's proof positive that Kubrick was sheer genius.

I have to admit to a slight biased when it comes to this masterpiece but big George covered in pie laughing just made my day!! superb :)
by cameron
I got to see the legendary pie fight scene a few years ago at a special anniversary screening..it wasn't in pristene condition but it was funny. I can see why Kubrick didn't include it in the movie because even though it's cool it doesn't fit the overall setting of the movie. But the look on George's face says it was a lotta fun!

Was that the "Ullman visting Wendy in the hospital" scene?
by Dr Lizardo
If so, nobody is missing much. I saw the film on opening night, with the scene intact. It was between the reveal of frozen Jack and the slow push into the old photo. There was no new information in the scene that I recall, just Ullman visiting Wendy in the hospital. The scene did break up the flow at the end and make the old photo seem less important somehow.
April 12, 2012, 1:53 p.m. CST
I love the contrasts in that first photo as well
by blackmantis
You have a comedy pie in the hands of a man with such a serious, focused gaze of intellectual intensity that lasers look like they're about to shoot from his eyes. It's a classic photo on the level of Einstein sticking out his tongue at the camera.

Kubrick made sure props and cut scenes were destroyed, the pie scene is lost
by Ricardo
I did read descriptions from some people who saw it. It could have worked, but it would be a bit farsical, like the ending on its a mad mad mad mad world. But could have worked.

Best one so far, Quint!

These are amazing! They may not have shown the original ending, but they did play the extended cut at 142 min. Is that different than the DVD/blu releases out there?

Dr Lizardo and Red Leader
by benlinus
The final scene explains some things that are obscure for the public, like the importance of the yellow ball and the role of the hotel manager in the plot. Wendy is in the hospital with her son. The manager visits her, apologizes for what happened, and invites her to live with him. She doesn't say yes or no. Then he goes into the hallway of the hospital, passes in front of Danny, who is playing on the ground with some toys. When he gets near the exit, he stops and says, 'I almost forgot, I have something for you.' And he pulls from his pocket the yellow ball that the twins had thrown at Danny. It bounces twice, Danny catches it, looks at it, then lifts his eyes towards the hotel manager, stupefied, realizing that throughout the story he was aware of the mystery of the hotel. There was a Hitchcockian side to this resolution, and you know that Kubrick was crazy about Hitchcock.

One of the few Kubrick films I actually like!
by Arcangel2020
Stanley Kubricks "Dr. Strangelove" is one of a few of his films I have actually liked over the years (the other being "Full Metal Jacket")...I think that a lot of times Kubrick and his work are just totally overrated.
April 12, 2012, 3:24 p.m. CST
by benlinus
Can you post a link to your source on that cuz my understanding is that the first shot of the ending scene is of frozen Jack in daylight.. it goes to a pullback shot with part of a state troopers car and the legs of troopers walking around in the foreground with Jack in the background, then cuts to the hotel manager Stuart Ullman walking down a hospital hallway to the nurse's station to inquire about Danny and Wendy, he's told they're both doing well and proceeds to Wendy's (Shelley Duvall) room, where after some gentle conversation he tells Wendy that searchers have been unable to locate any evidence of the apparitions she saw. Then it cuts to the camera silently roaming the halls of the Overlook hotel for about a minute until it comes up to the wall with the photographs, where it [back to the ending as it is now known] finally closes in on the photo of Jack in the 1921 picture....this and of course the ball scene between Ullman and Danny outside the hospital room

Now this is what we're talking about. While other recent red carpets have been kind of a snooze-fest :cough: MTV VMAs :cough: the celebrities walking at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards really turned up the heat. Sarah Hyland, Zooey Deschanel, Hayden Panettiere and more skipped the traditional LBDs and went for more risky — and risque — fashion choices, and we definitely approve. (Though we wish the Glee cast was in attendance. How did they get no love this year?!) Here were the top 10 celebs we actually cared about:

Ex-Phils pitcher Ugueth Urbina released from Venezuelan prison
Caracas, Venezuela (4E Sports) – Former All-Star pitcher Ugueth Urbina has been released from incarceration in Venezuela on Saturday for good behavior.
Urbina, 38, has served more than 5½ years of a 14-year sentence handed down in March 2007.
He was convicted of attempted murder in attacking and injuring workers with machetes and pouring gasoline on them at his family's ranch in October 2005.
Urbina's release has been confirmed by his son, Juan Urbina, on Twitter.
A two-time All-Star, Urbina last pitched in the majors with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2005 and is 30th on the all-time saves list with 237. He had two saves in the 2003 World Series for the victorious Marlins, who defeated the Yankees in six games.
In 11 seasons with the Expos, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, Marlins, Detroit Tigers and Phillies, Urbina went 44-49 with a 3.45 ERA. In 1999, he led the National League with 41 saves for the Expos; in 2002, he was third in the AL with 40 saves for the Red Sox.
Veteran outfielder Bobby Abreu, a teammate of Urbina's in Philadelphia, said he is "happy" that his friend has been released.
"Anyone who knows him well, knows his humanity, regardless of the (incident)," said Abreu.
Juan Vicente Zerpa, manager of the Leones de Caracas of the Venezuelan winter league, said he would "welcome" Urbina on his team. "He already paid his debt to society," Zerpa said.

Curse of the Lottery Winner!
in Religion
Who would turn down the opportunity to instantly become a Multi-millionaire? You would think no one in their right mind, right? There was at least one multi-million dollar lottery winner that says he would have ripped up the ticket if he could have known how things would turn out. His is not the only tale of lottery winning sorrow. Yes, many big lottery winners have found themselves with a pile of money and just as much unhappiness. With all their financial problems solved why are these people unhappy? Maybe the Holy Scriptures will provide one or two clues as to why so many million dollar lottery winners are not made happy by their money.

Mexican in Westchester????
- l
- lostinossinng Oct 10, 2006 01:39 PM
I'm from Southern California where Mexican food is plentiful, inexpensive, authentic, and varied. Is there anywhere in Westchester that won't be disappointing? Also, nobody seems to have horchata! In So. Cal., it was as common as Pepsi. Where can I find it?
Westchester is notoriously weak as far as restaurants go. You can try Blue Moon in Bronxville which I found very good but coming from California I doubt you'll find anything outside of NYC up to par.
re: Rockabye
Blue Moon is tex-mex crap. I live near there and got dragged in a few times. Ugh!
For good Mexican you have to go to New Rochelle, White Plains, South west Yonkers, or Portchester. Do a search on this board for Mexican and those towns and you will get tons of recent posts.
Actually, mexican in westchester is starting to get pretty good. I grew up outside of LA too. We are really starting to get some great places around - definitely enough to sate your appetite. You won't find the diversity of mexican regional cuisines like you do in LA (like galueguetza, el fortin, monte alban, yucateca, etc.) but you'll find good food from the puebla region, which will include 99.9% of the folks equate to mexican food. If Horchata is what you are looking for, you'll have no problem. It's everywhere. Real fish tacos or tamales oaxaquenos or huaraches or tlacoyos are an altogether different story...
Anyhow, there have been many, many discussions about mexican in this area on this board. Here are some links to very recent discussions from the past 2 weeks alone:
New Rochelle and Port Chester have the best options, with White Plains a close second (or third, I guess that would be).
good luck and please report back so the collective wisdom of the community can continue to grow!
re: westchesterjess
I did try Guadalajara and was pretty disappointed. I'll try some of the suggestions posted here. Thanks for the replies!
I recently found delicious refried beans for $2.50 at Flores Cafe Deli. It is right off Central Avenue at 10 Cross Street in White Plains, NY. I'm using this place for take-out although there are a few tables. I once tried the chalupas roji verdez for take-out but was greatly disappointed as the dish was a mess once I opened it at home.
Haven't tried this place, but Cafe De Las Americas (Route 133 in Ossining, opposite Four Seasons Grocery Store) has Horchata listed on its windows, along with some other things that I don't have any idea what they are: Humitas; Quacker; Tapioca... Who will be the brave person to foray into this storefront and try out the menu? Maybe me! Seemed to have a good crowd of Equadorians there tonight.
re: Nancy C
Nancy, please report back when you try it! I have passed by this place many times but have not ventured in. Curious to see how it is!
I've had mexican food several times in California, and the closest thing to it around here is this little place in Mount Kisco named Azteca. It's across from Borders and you can easily walk by it without even noticing the restaurant. The food is not quite as good as some of the mexican food I've had in California, but it's close, and it's the best I've had around here. Everything we've tried there has been delicious (including the flan) and I usually get salsa and chips to go.
re: CurlyQ
I, too, like Azteca a lot. I thin it's superior to Guadalajara by a considerable margin, although the crowd is less heavily populated by gringos.
I tried Sunset Grille in White Plains. The food was very good, for sure. The presentation is much fancier than what I'm accustomed to in CA, which may account for the absurd prices. $17 for chicken enchiladas! I enjoyed my meal, but will probably not return due to the exagerated prices. I'm going to check out MexiGo in Croton next.
re: lostinossinng
If you're looking for cheap, flavorful, casual mexican, you can't go wrong with Adamclyde's recoomendation: hit Port Chester (try Los Gemellos) and New Rochelle (try Little Mexican Cafe). This is Mexican for Mexicans, and probably closer to what you're used to on the left coast. In either town, there are tons of taquerias and casual spots, each with little specialties, most pretty good, almost all will have horchata.
Hint: avoid any spot with the words tequila, don or margarita incorporated in the name--it's doomed to be a bad frozen-margarita-bland-gloppy-burrito joint. Also a sign of badness: spaghetti western style stage props like cacti, sombreros and donkeys, aimed directly at the gringos. A PROMISING SIGN is a name with an Mexican geographical point--michoacan, jalisco, etc.
BTW--you can get great horchata (as well as other aguas frescas) at the local paleta shops (in NR, la flor de michoacan and in PC, paleteria fernandez)--look for horchata, jamaica and pineapple flavors. PLUS, you can get horchata concentrate to make at home at Viva Grande in New Rochelle--although fresh is best, obviously.
re: lostinossinng
Check out this recent thread for some mixed feelings on Mexigo; I personally was not too happy with it.
Has anyone ever tried Mary's in Elmsford? I've driven by it a ton of times, but have never gone in. It's on a corner next to a Mexican Deli, so it always seemed promising to me...
I tried Azteca in Mt. Kisco. It was ok. They did have horchata :) and I was soooo happy to taste it again. The food was not so great though. I had chicken enchiladas and they were made of just plain grilled chicken breast, chopped, and rolled up in tortilla then topped w/ green salsa and cheese. I drove by the place across from Four Seasons in Ossining and saw "horchata" in the window. I regularly shop at the Four Seasons, so I'll go across the street and try the restaurant soon.
If you ever find yourself over the Tappan Zee bridge there is an excellent Mexican place in the Spring Valley area called Bandidos. Great Tex Mex, a decent regional Mexican menu and good Margaritas. A little pricey for this genre but excellent quality in a family friendly atmosphere
lostinossining, if you don't mind Yuppie Mexican Restaurant prices, please find your way to Sunset Grille. Their food is consistently good, the ambience is great, the service is wonderful, and Don Emilio is without par. Scott was brilliant in hiring him. I look forward to going back, and Don Emilio has promised the horchata will be available next time I am there.
I am going to Little Mexican Cafe tomorrow night. I remember when it was Soo Chow and New Rochelle was grand, but hey, progress is progress right? Change is good or so they tell me.
I look forward to the tacos al pastor, their margarita and a horchata if they've made it.
I am also getting six pops from La Paleteria Michoacano on Union Ave. tonight, as Mr. dolores is going out of town. One for each night.
Bienvenidos a Nuevo Rochelle!
I thought Hacienda Azteca in White Plains was decent. It's somewhat overpriced, but I had a chipotle shrimp special which wasn't on the menu that was quite delicious.
Hey! Chowhound Mexican food lovers/writers get a shoutout:
re: dolores
Is that legal? I'd think that there might be copyright problems linking Chowhound to a Gannet publication.
I tried Cafe De Las Americas across on Rt 133 in Ossining. The people in there did not speak much English, but they spoke enough to desribe the food. I had tamale, an empanada, and horchata. First of all, the horchata, though absolutely delicious, was not what I was accustomed to. It was a hot tea made from flowers. No milk. Though it was nothing like the Mexican milk and rice horchata, it was really good. The tamale and empanada were not so good. The tamale was corn meal surrounding chicken wrapped in a banana leaf. Nothing unusual there, but the chicken actually had bones it so I had to pick them out to eat the meat. All in all, it was ok. Nothing special. The empanada was the sweet kind with cheese and really was not very good at all. I don't know what kind of cheese it was, but it looked like orange Kraft or Velveeta. The pocket was actually kind of dried out. Nothing special either. There was a hot counter where you could point to what you want and the waitress put it on a plate. It looked good, but not good enough for me to go back to try it.
I've got you covered, this weekend plan to make a trip out to Brookfield,CT and go to Panchos&Gringos!!!very authentic...some of the best mole I've had in the states.
Oh my! Thank you for being brave and trying Cafe de las Americas. Sorry to hear that not so great food comes in all flavors! I might try the hot counter one of these days, since I shop across the street pretty regularly. That's not the first time that I've encountered bones in Mexican chicken things - it does add to the taste of stewed chicken, but is hard to get used to.
Gracias un millon!
I forgot to mention that my meal at Cafe de las Americas came to $4, so that was one good thing. Also the horchata (hot flower tea) really was delicious and I would get that again.

- 6/10FoodyDined on 9/27/2014I was impressed with the customer service and general environment of the restaurant but the food was not impressive. There were no signature dishes and I make better steak than what was served. I was so disapointed as I thought this was going to be a great "food" experience based on internet reviews. Not worth the money and unfortuantely won't be going back:-(Special Features:
- nice place to eatDDD202Dined on 9/27/2014Over all good place to eat. It is kid friendly but personally wouldn't recommend bringing them.. it's a date night place for mom and dad to get away.Special Features:

- Fabulous for Our Getaway!GMaaDined on 9/19/2014When we are in the Dells once or twice a year, we always eat one night at Field's. Always delicious, and the service is wonderful! My only suggestion is that they use romaine - not iceburg - for their salads.Special Features:
- UnforgettablespiffyrikiDined on 9/18/2014Dinner here has made our 4th anniversary completely unforgettable.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014Our table had great view, the waitress was very attentive and informative, the flow of the dinner from appetizers through the main course was perfect. Very good experience and food was fabulousSpecial Features:
- Perfect Anniversary Spotvalkrie778Dined on 9/6/2014My wife and I celebrated our first anniversary here, and had a wonderful dinner! We each got the 8 oz. filets, which were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. And for dessert, we got the Butter Brickle Torte, which has to be one of the best desserts we have ever had. If we are ever back in the Dells, we will certainly be returning to Field's!Special Features:
- Lovely but a little ungenerousbeannieDined on 9/2/2014For one of my birthday parties, three other parties and I celebrated at Field's/ I was told later that the waiter, waitress, concierge, etc. had been told it was my b.day and expected a complementary dessert. Guess what? Since I was treating, I paid for it!!!! Wouldn't have ordered one, ordinarily. So, be aware that most Madison restaurants treat!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fields reviewSarahstar830Dined on 8/30/2014Best steak in the country! Hands down! The entire meal from being to end was fantastic! Can't wait to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!EatingoutDined on 8/30/2014Our party of six, four adults and two children thoroughly enjoyed the superb service and great food. Most favored was the prime rib which definitely was outstanding. The kids were tickled by the refolding of our napkins and the warm towels after dinner. The key lime torte for dessert was awesome!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced average at bestLdncDined on 8/29/2014Interesting sign on table......steaks may have a gray appearance due to natural lighting. Yuuup, steak was gray! Fillet lacked taste. Ordered medium rare......was medium at best. Always wanted to try Fields and we did. Won't go back as it was nothing special.Special Features:
- As Always!!Jan200Dined on 8/22/2014Consistency is the best way to describe Field's, the food, the service, the ambience are always, always top notch!! We have enjoyed the experience each and every time we've dined here, start to finish!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding as always!ALocalsPerspectiveDined on 8/19/2014My wife and I dined here for my birthday on Tuesday, and we were very pleased as usual. We are locals and always enjoy our experiences with Field's and their staff, and they even provided free desert given the occasion. Highly recommended for quality steaks, seafood, craft cocktails, impeccable service, friendly staff, and don't forget to order the Lobster Bisque - which is a signature to this fine facility. If you've never been here before please give it a shot next time you're in town - you won't be disappointed.Special Features:
- Fields of Great Foodluv2dineDined on 8/17/2014Spent 6 months on a work assignment in the Dells area as a young professional in the mid 90's and fell in love with the barbecue ribs (and their homemade sauce) at their old location on Hwy 13, when I believe they were called Fields Steak and Stein. After more than a 20 year absence, now returning with our children for a vacation weekend, imagine my surprise in ordering the same meal and getting the same fantastic service and taste! The meat falls of the bone and the sauce is a pleasant mixture of sweetness and tanginess. In the interim, I've had barbecue ribs in many places, all over the US and other locations, but these rival the best I've had. I'm sure the other menu items are just as nice and served with the same quality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic and DeliciousKHKU2014Dined on 8/16/2014I recently took my girlfriend out to dinner as we were both in need of a romantic night alone together. Before going I heard great things about Field's but that it was expensive. I wasn't sure what to expect. Field's offered the greatest restaurant experience we have ever had. The atmosphere and food is second to none and it ended up being the best date we have ever been on. We will return again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another excellent Fields experienceLakehouse12Dined on 8/14/2014Terrific service as usual. The seafood trio is a favorite and always a hit, and the filet was outstanding. The ambience made for a wonderful anniversary celebration!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely dinner for celebrationChicagoJillDined on 8/7/2014Very nice, the food was fantastic. I was surprised there were so many young children there, but it wasn't noisy. If the children were unruly I would have been disappointed. This seems like the kind of place you'd go to get away from the noise and confusion of the Dells. The lobster bisque was out of this world! Service was attentive without being intrusive. Great evening out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It Happens.Shadow14Dined on 7/24/2014As per usual on Fields end it was Terrific Sadly the table next to us had a pre-teen Coughing to the point it Wrecked our dinner.Special Features:

- Fancy FindOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/22/2014We ate at the Fields on our 14th Anniversary and had some of the best steaks of our lives. The staff was outstanding and we had an excellent waiter. It is a little more expensive but wroth it for a special occasion like ours. Highly recommend!Special Features:
- Excellent ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/19/2014Just wanted to say thank you for making our anniversary dinner special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly surpriseluvfoodDined on 7/17/2014We wanted to take my 13 year old boy for his birthday to a steak restaurant. The service was remarkable and the food we ordered was extremely delishous. It was worth the price and even though it is kind of connected to a water park, it was very cozy.Special Features:
- Best choicePootDined on 7/12/2014This place is the best choice for food in the Dells. It would be a second rate steakhouse in any large city. The steaks were high quality. The service is a bit suspect but what you should expect in a resort town filled with college age workers at Summer jobs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousSteakbrat06Dined on 7/5/2014I have been to many fancy steakhouses in the Midwest, and I tell everyone that you are the best the midwest has to offer. Second on my overall list behind Gordon Ramsey Steak in Las Vegas. We will not visit the Dells w/o a stop at The FieldsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/29/2014Food was great! service was not as great as it usually is.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another fine evening at Field'sberrygalDined on 6/28/2014Dining at Field's is always a treat; from the Lemon Drop Martini to the Wilderness Salad (a MUST HAVE) to any entree you could choose, dining here is always a great experience. We never save enough room for dessert, but order it anyway and take it home because they are beautiful and delicious.Special Features:
- an absolute must!2goodtopassDined on 6/28/2014Went to fields in the dells for our birthday night out. Made reservations asking for a window table, which we got. Our wait staff gave us exemplery service with a touch of humor. I tried something outside my usual - the grouper special and was not disappointed. Food was fabulous! Dinner ended with a birthday dessert. Would highly recommend for any special occasion or even just a night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/22/2014The Lobster Bisque was outstanding. The steaks were all the right temperature, but underseasoned. We had to use table salt and pepper to impreove the taste. We shared the steaks due to their size. We were charged $5.00 to share the steaks per couple. I do not mind paying for a split service, because usually the plates come already split from the kitchen. Not the case at Field's. They brought the steaks in one plate, and an empty plate so we could split them at the table! Charging $5.00 for an empty plate is absurd! The steaks were a bit better than Outback, but twice as expensive, and then, a split charge of $5.00.Special Features:
- Food, Music, and Excellent ServicestonemillnzDined on 6/20/2014My wife and I were wanting to get away for a date night and enjoy our time together. The whole place has a Frank Lloyd Wright architecture feel and felt comfortable. The upper tables have a view of the pond and the central fountain. Food and drinks were outstanding and we can't say enough good things about our server and his willingness to make sure we got our food the way we wanted it. There was live piano music throughout our meal and the restaurant. My wife and I went over to the bar area after our meal to enjoy a cocktail and make a few music requests of our own. A fantastic evening overall!Special Features:
- Always greatPhilnDined on 6/16/2014We love coming here when we are in town. Always a great experience and great food. I requested a booth and a bottle of champagne to be waiting at the table upon arrival and everything was done just right and we had another awesome night as always. Thanks fields for another memorable night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- outstanding find in the Dell areaOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/14/2014Great contrast to the water park themes and great good and escape for adults looking for atmosphere and good foodSpecial Features:
- Fabulous FiletsOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 6/13/2014I dine here every time I visit the Dells. This time they had wonderful live music. My friend did not like the particular wine she ordered and they removed it from the bill. I recommend the spinach side salad with the hot bacon dressing.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/11/2014Great food but for the price and the date I had planned (girlfriend's birthday celebration for two) I would not go there again. Had a private booth but was dressed up for a special occasion. Groups seated througout the room were in their swimwear from the local waterpark.Special Features:
- ExcellenttmmoDined on 6/7/2014My husband and I traveled to the Wisconsin dells for the weekend, celebrated my husbands birthday. Staff was very familiar with the menu and specials, around often to fill up our water glass. Wonderful date night experience.Special Features:

- Great service, atmosphere, and menuRussyDined on 5/25/2014The waitors we had were the friendliest and most well-mannered wait staff we have encountered in a while. The food was unique and the premier potato with jalapeños was delicious! Great atmosphere right on a little lake. We would definitely come back and recommend Field's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently the bestMaddinerDined on 5/21/2014We've been to Field's many times and the food, service, and ambience have always been excellent. The patrons are generally vacationers from around the country and the world and it's clear from observing that they are all enjoying themselves immensely. The staff are well trained and our host, Robert John is the patron saint of hospitality. Find him at the bar -- great guy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I had leftover turkey thighs in the freezer to use so i thought i would try this out. One of my turkey thighs was plenty of meat for this soup. It was good, and I LOVE garlic but something was missing here. I can't quite put my finger on it though. Maybe carrots or something like that. The garlic did upset my digestion a little too, there is a lot in here!
Garlic Turkey and Dumplings
James Carrier
To temper the heat in this comforting dish, Donna Enz recommends seeding and deveining the jalapeño chilies before mincing. If you don't want to take time to peel the garlic, purchase peeled fresh garlic cloves.

Well Made Plush Toy
posted 5 years ago
My dogs love plush toys, but they usually destroy them. This hasn't happened with this toy. They play with it a lot and it has held up. It has been a very good buy and it washes beautifully.
Pros: very durable
Cons: none

Our dogs LOVE the fake squirrel, although, I think it promotes them chasing squirrels outside as well. This is pretty durable too, we have had it for a while and actually put it through the washing machine, it held up!

the sound is out of sync with the video it happens with avi and mpeg files someone pleasee help
(Pasted from my post in thread 7744)
Two common causes:
1. The person who encoded the video did a poor job. It's not common, but it happens.
2. The computer you're using is underpowered. Modern codecs (like divx, windows media video 9, h.264) take a lot of processing power to render video, and if your processor is old, frames will be dropped, audio and video will fall out of sync, the scene may seem to freeze. Video freezes more often, since video codecs take a lot more processing power than audio codecs. One easy way to check if you're using Windows 2000 or XP is to look under your task manager. Right click your taskbar, then choose task manager. Look under performance. Is cpu usage at 100% while the video plays? if so chances are it's choking on decoding the video. There's not much that can be done except get a newer processor. You can also try to allocate as much cpu power to video playback by turning off and closing all unnecessary tasks (instant messengers, file sharing, anything in the taskbar, and (for advanced users only) services). Also disable post-processing and film effect if the file uses the divx codec. Finally another way to check if the processor is underpowered is using virtualdub. if the file plays in virtualdub in slow motion then your pc is underpowered. virtualdub is also a good way to view the movie without freezing/dropped frames (if you don't mind slow-motion video and inaudible audio)
i have same problem, i record a tv show from tv adaptor usb, then cutting out the start and advertisments, then i join the files back together and the audio can be 10 mins out !!! i use SUPER VIDEO SPLITTER and SUPER VIDEO JOINER
Before you brake your piggybank try different players not only WMP.VLC and BSplayer are freeware and works better than WMP.Also classic media player has more codecs in it.About your computer besides a faster CPU the size of your RAM is a big issue when you're dealing with video files and convertions.1GB of RAM became a standard if you want quality.Synch problems if your computer is fast enough come from conflicts between codecs so is a must to check the file before convertion with Avicodec or GSpot to find out the type of avi you have and the video/audio codecs you need.Here is a link to download codecs:http://www.free-codecs.com/
If you have an access to Macintosh, there is a step by step guide to fix the problem "Sound is out of Sync with the Video".
Have you tried AVIMUX. Open File in AVIMUX, click on file and press generate data source from file. It will show you how many mseconds it is out of sync. press start and save file as(new name)It all over in 2 or 3 minutes and your film will be in sync 99% of the time. you can also enter your own figures manually.

i use the internet to do all, to more learn, to talk with my friends, i also use the internet to find information
one time i knew santa marta and there i saw the best scene, beach, mountain. it´s was most amazing
people shouldn´t be obliged to work 65 hours a week because it´s many time. i think people should work less and
i think that being a parent it´s same today or 100 years ago because they got the same responsibility, only chance
my perfect mother-in-law would be that think understand to me and she accept me as I am

I call bullshit. Anyone who sings along with Taylor Swift has some sort of damage.
What is your damage?

It would be to have them, I guess. No rush. I still have mine. Don't buy anything just because you want one.

One of many reasons why baby talk makes me nervous. Um, yeah, but I thought we were talking about Rachel asking Joey and Ross to be her backups when Phoebe had already secured both of them.
He just needs to kick his leg when you scratch behind his ear. Not that I would ever scratch him there.
Baby talk is obnoxious and ridiculous and annoying and I want to punch someone in the throat every time I hear it. Well I guess that one works too. Maybe like a mix of the two, on account of how Rachel kept saying that she would've said yes to anyone.
Yeah, no, don't. That would be awkward and weird.
I should've said fossils. They're much more reliable, too. Mad respect for them. Great. Like I said, not a time for anyone to go without means of communication.
Living dinosaurs are so much cooler than dead ones though. Going phone shopping tomorrow, so I may or may not be giving it back tomorrow.

As long as you don't mind dinosaurs - the one I have should hold you until you can get a fancy new one. It's always good to keep them around as a back-up plan. I'll look for it before class and leave it outside your door.
Everyone says dinosaurs are childish but they seem to forget that most of the dinosaurs would crush their skulls between two claws. Doubt the new one will be that fancy, it'd break even easier than the one I just lost. But yeah. It'll do.

…Giving birth does not sound like a very pleasant image. And I think it happened in an altogether different episode - Rachel woke up to it when Monica and Chandler were well on their way to getting married. So this was pre-birth.
He lets me curl up against him and watch Cupcake Wars, as long as I pet his hair. Or keep food around to distract him with. Beats being alone by a long shot.
Didn't mean for it to sound so. No, Joey definitely accidentally proposed to Rachel using Ross' ring after she had Emma.
I swear to God that boy is like a puppy sometimes. Cuddling, playing with hair, obsession with food, the signs are all there.
Man, I'm sorry. That's tough. Do you have an old, forgotten phone somewhere? I could probably find the remains of one for you to use in the meantime. Going without is just not an option these days.
No, the only old one I have only holds battery for like an hour and a half, and that's no good to anyone. Yes, do that. I practically live on my phone, a replacement is crucial.

Lawrence Russell Brewer is set to be executed in Wednesday night. Brewer is one of the two men sentenced to death row in the brutal dragging death of James Byrd, Jr.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is making necessary preparation for Brewer and the public and media for the execution day.
Brewer will start his last day in prison seeing his loved ones Wednesday morning.
This will be his last face to face interaction with his family.
Then, he'll be transported from the Polunsky Unit in Livingston to his isolation cell in Huntsville.
There he'll have his final meal, meet with a chaplain, and make his final phone call before heading into the execution chamber.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesperson Jason Clark says because of the nature of the case, security will be in full force.
"We've met with both local and state police and so you'll see an increase presence of law enforcement on the day of the execution and we're just doing that to be proactive just because of the nature of the crime," Clark said.
Former Jasper County Sheriff Billy Rowles investigated this case and said it's time for him to pay his life for taking another.
"If he would had pleaded with us and showed lots of remorse, I might have a different attitude about it, and that's just being honest, but the lack of remorse made this very easy," Rowles said.
Before the execution, Brewer will be given an opportunity to deliver his "final words", but he's not expected to try to get a "stay" of the execution.
As for John William King, also convicted in the Byrd's killing and also on death row, is appealing his death sentence.
The third man involved, Shawn Berry, is serving life in prison.
12 News HD will have complete coverage from the execution in Huntsville on Wednesday.

Michael Kors becomes a billionaire
Michael Kors has officially become a billionaire after shares in his company rose to $89.91.
Michael Kors has become a billionaire.
The American designer has officially joined the ranks of the world's most wealthy after shares in his company, Michael Kors Holdings, climbed by 17.3 per cent to $89.91.
Bloomberg is reporting that he has raked in over $700 million since the initial public offering in December 2011.
The company had already broken records, becoming the US' biggest fashion IPO when shares rose 20 per cent on the first day of trading.
The former 'Project Runway' judge joins the likes of Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana and Miuccia Prada in the fashion billionaire club.
Michael began his career when he dropped out of the Fashion Institute of Technology to create a line for a store called Lothar's in New York City. He then launched his own womenswear line in 1981 and becoming one of the leading designers in the world.
The 54-year-old fashion star was recently honoured with the 2013 Award for Artistry of Fashion by the Couture Council of the Museum at the F.I.IT.
He said: ''Let's be frank, I don't have the traditional background that most designers have. I never worked for another designer picking up pins, I didn't finish school. I am a nightmare at the sewing machine.
''The ethos of my design philosophy has always been rooted in reality, not in pure fantasy ... I always believed the minute you think you've made it, you're done. Well, guess what, I'm not done.''
