Just moved from LA...need REAL Mexican!
I'm originally from Maryland but have lived in Los Angeles for the past six years. Now I'm back and my Mexican tastes have changed since living in LA. Everyone here thinks that Rio Grande is good Mexican!! ha ha! I need some real, authentic, hole in the wall Mexican in the Bethesda/Rockville or surrounding areas. Help!!! A good sushi place too if anyone knows of one...
First you need to specify what "Mexican" you want. LA Mex is not real Mex just as Tex Mex ain't - though both are a fine thing to search for. (See - there are some who will argue with you on the RG reference AND be right)
Second - specifics help - what ARE you looking for. Dishes, tastes in dishes, etc.
Third - There isn't much true Mex here. A decent amount of tex mex, and some very southern mex. Apparently very little baja mex, or so-cal mex.
Now - that you have that. The area is great in mid-AM and northern SO AM food. Peruvian, Guatemalan, Salvadoran, Yucatan-ian(?), etc!
Let us know your distinct cravings. Open your mind and stomach. Let's go from there.
Welcome to the area!
re: Dennis S
Hm...well, last I checked the places I went to in LA were run by, cooked by and served by Mexicans. Tito's Tacos, La Cabana. I don't think you can really argue that it's not really Mexican. I'm talking about where the chips are homemade, the refried beans are fabulous and they know what a real fish taco is. or dare I say, some fabulous Sopes. I don't want tex mex, I can find that in plenty of places. I want the place that most people in DC don't know about and won't go to because they think the food is weird.
re: novice16
I feel bad for all LA and SF transplants. The realization that we have no real Mexican or good burritos is a common one.
My recommendation is Taqueria Districto Federal in D.C. on 14th and Otis. It's tacos and posole, but very good.
re: Culocho
I 2nd the TDF recommendation. Two things though: the cross street is Oak, not Otis and I'm pretty sure the posole is only available on the weekends.
re: novice16
La Cabana used to be one of my regular haunts in the 80s. Yum. Your best bet for authentic Mexican food is in Riverdale/Bladensburg. The places are mostly not on the main drag, but there is some good stuff there, especially. They are on Edmonston, mostly. Taqueria Tres Reyes II is really good. El Tapatio is also good. Some of the places are Spanish language only. I always say that if goat, tongue, rabbit, or liver are on the menu, it's going to be a good place. What I really miss is machaca. I've never seen it here. Also, you're not going to get the fried tacos you find in some of the older L.A. places, like La Cabana or Gilbert's El Indio. Now if only we had some of the Mexican chains they have in L.A., like Pachanga, They are like really good versions of Baja Fresh. I'd also love it if there were some Oaxacan places here.
re: novice16
To say in LA it's served by Mexicans is missing the point. The stuff in TX is as well and it's different. Less Baja influence to start with, and the LA area puts a spin on things.
Mexico is a large country with distinctions throughout, and the immigrated areas end up altering what's put out.
Fish taco - for instance. There's the baja breaded style which you're probably referring to, but there is the grilled style
I have only spent a few days in Mexico but Taqueria el Caminante Charito seems close to the real deal. Their lengua tacos with salsa verde are outstanding, as is the pork, chorizo is ok. The tortas sandwich with its chunk of avocado is very good, as is the tamarind drink they serve and the pupusa revuelta is tasty and has a little hint of herbs. This isn't like the tex-mex I have eaten, or the california mexican I had in San Diego, but it is closer to San Diego I think.
No tables, just stools, but there is a park nearby with picnic tables. TECC is not only outstanding, but 3 meaty tacos run $6!
re: Ziv
He used to go on vacation for two weeks a year when he was in the truck/trailer. I asked him once where he went, and he said "home". Asking where that was he said Southern Mexico.
If someone could ask him, his Dad or Mom, that'd be great. I will next time I'm there, but that'll probably be a few weeks.
Just like you're missing your Tex Mex and the OP is missing their LA Mex, the reality is that we should be happy with our DC Mex, Guatemalan, Peruvian, Salvadoran, etc.
We've run into the same problems, and we live in Gaithersburg. There are a couple of so-called Tex-Mex places, but they don't live up to what we like. I used to live in Nuevo Laredo years ago (when it was fun and safe), and enjoyed many different kinds of foods there.
So, the only best solution we've come across is for me to make our own. Enchiladas and Tacos are "comfort food" for me, so when I get the "need" I make my own Enchiladas. The sauce is fairly easy to make, and when I do it, I try to make everything the day before, that way the spices/herbs have a good chance to marry in with whatever meat I'm using.
If I use chicken, I buy the rotisserie, but if i do beef or pork, I do them in a slow cooker in the sauce the day before, let it cool and clear off whatever fat congeals at the top. Then it's a matter of pulling apart the meat and rolling your own.
re: biscuit
TECC was in a truck (actually a trailer) until he earned and saved enough to open the storefront - which was probably around 2005.
The trailer was over at the end of Pershing where it meets 50 - just across from Ft. Myer's. Before that he was in Ballston.
There was a time when the ABC store tried to run him off. After a while they were successful and he kept switching locations. Then he shut down for a while entirely while getting the storefront going. I had a really hard time during this period - including recruiting someone fluent in Spanish and asking any Hispanic we saw in the area. I contemplated making ads using a pic of the trailer I had - "Have you seen this truck?"
re: biscuit
biscuit -- have you tried Taqueria Distrito Federal? I get take-out more often from Pepito's, because it's closer to my place, but I think TDF is a bit better.
To the OP -- Just fyi -- Ann Cashion studied the supposedly best LA taco trucks to model Taqueria Nacionale on, trying to recreate their salsas, etc. I think she probably uses better ingredients than most more "authentic" taquerias, actually.
re: hill food
THANK GOD somebody else realizes how abysmal their "burritos" are. I went to the one in international square and was quite sorely disappointed.
OP, i feel for you...i love mexican food and have been very disappointed by the selection around these parts. there IS a burrito cart at 17th and K that serves pretty decent (albeit meatless) ones. i always douse mine in tons of hot sauce. they're not the quality that you're used to, but they'll do to sate a craving.
People are always raving about Oyamel but i haven't been there so i don't know. From what I hear, i'd say it probably isn't authentic or at all like what you're used to, but i'm sure it's still good food in its own right.
re: littlew1ng
I think that Oyamel is authentic, I say as an Angelino, but it isn't common. It's probably more Mexican food cooked by an ambitious Mexican cook rather than just a good Mexican cook. It's not a combination plate kind of place.
re: littlew1ng
I don't mean to completely trash BB - just not what I'm looking for. the cart at 17 and K NW is ok, I just wish he'd make his own pico rather than rely on bottled salsa - how hard is that? (maybe that's changed, it's been a while) what really astounded me with that story was how hard he had to fight for his license selling veg burritos, at a time when one was really rolling dice eating at the dog carts.
Good luck. We moved from Ventura County CA area next to LA 6 years ago and I have been looking, trying, tasting, and feeling disappointed with the local mex food around here. I certainly miss the crunchy carnitas tacos and savory and gigantic carne asada burritos. Forget about getting decent fish tacos...
In Gaithersburg, there is a hole in the wall place called Pepitos which is also a bakery. Decent tacos and burritos, but compared to LA, it is middle of the road... There's El Tapatio 2 in Gaithersburg, and yes its just plain average. Their carnitas were lifeless, unspiced, and just plain jane. On the Washingtonian, next to a gas station is a little liqour store that also serves Mexican food - Taco Bar. They have decent suadero (rib meat) and chorizo tacos, and terrific pozoles - maybe as close to your LA taste as I can find. Riverdale / Bladensburg area joints were also just average...
Having lived in San Diego and San Francisco, then moving to Germany of all places, then here, I feel novice's pain in not being able to get good Mexican. While DC is an improvement over Germany (they've been known to but anything from zucchini to carrots to green peas in their burritos), it's not going to match SD (let me know if you find a good fish taco around here with the cabbage and crema sauce), or the SF burrito parlors. That being said, I've found a good place that I love albeit totally different from SD or SF, and that's Guajillo in Rosslyn (on Wilson Blvd). You've gotten some good recs for some taco truck style places, but Guajillo is a full blown sit-down restaurant with a bar (awesome sangria btw). Like I said it's different, but the ingredients are fresh, like the chips and salsa on the table, and their carnitas are awesome. Highly, highly recommend it.
re: mjhals
Gaujillo's is ok for what it is. Still, a very limited menu and the prices will shock an Angeleno. The people who own this also run Casa Oaxaca in Adams Morgan, which has a more interesting menu, but I've never been.
re: mjhals
First, mention of burritos in the same breath as "authentic" Mexican just dilutes any other argument that might be there.
Beyond that - for a fish taco, if you're not looking for Baja style, then try Teocalli in Herndon. They put the cabbage on, but no crema (not sure what style this is, to be honest).
That brings me to the biggest point which is already in this thread: Mexico is a big country with many variants. Localizations within the US is going to alter whatever the original source was. So, SD Mexican is just that. Probably mostly Baja style with a bit of SD flavor thrown in.
I do understand the general pain some are feeling - and it's warranted that what's offered in plenty in other places is thin here. However, there are many great options that are being overlooked.
It does make me wonder - if a Texan moves to San Diego - do they grieve the same? If not, how is the grief different? My guess is that's it's a lesser grief, but along the same line.
"authentic, hole in the wall Mexican in the Bethesda/Rockville or surrounding areas"
Unfortunately, years of Chowhound wisdom and scouting have produced nothing of the sort. My guess is for good reason, no Mexicans.
Closest possibilities:
Riverdale area of PG County, across the Anacostia River. I have been to La Serenita and Los Tres Reyes and thought very little of them.. El Tapatio is supposed to be the best of the lot, but I haven't been. That should be your first stop.
The only great tacos I've found are the goat or chorizo tacos at TECC in Arlington.
One hole-in-the-wall which is exactly as you would find it in LA is Guadalejara Tacos y Tortas on U.S. 1 South of Alexandria, VA. The place and the menu look LA. The only good thing I've had there is the huarache con birria. So if you are in the mood to visit Mt Vernon, or are looking for an excuse to visit Mt. Vernon, that is what I would suggest.
I understand your plight. I am a native Angeleno and have been looking for a long time.
For my money, El Ranchero or El Caminante Charrito (both) in Arlington come closest to tasting like the Mexican food in LA. There is some decent Tex-Mex around here -- and that's fine. It's just not LA.
Good luck in your search.
Lots of data, but what are you gonna eat? Best bet is to just go out and try different places. Since I get down to the DF at least once a year, I no longer fret too much about "the most authentic" Mexican. God knows there isn't an "authentic" Mexican joint anywhere.
An understanding of what you think "authentic" Mexican would be helpful. Places in L.A. that you think are stellar. I go to L.A. on occasion and have enjoyed delicious meals from the common torta joint in Woodland Hills to Babita, La Casita, Loteria Grill, El Taurino, Taco King and Monte Alban. All great places that have delicious flavors.
From there, it's easier to direct you towards places that might be more suited to your palate. I've done the Riverside tour and found some decent food there. Not the best pozole or tacos, but some decent food. Oyamel is well executed but falls short when compared to places like El Bajio or the husband and wife selling chicarrones tacos in front of the Crowne Plaza in Mexico City.
In DC, I've found some nice mole at Casa Oaxaca in Adams Morgan and Taqueria Nacionale by the train station is pretty darn good too.
I lived in SoCal for 4 years. I have found no LA/SD/"Inland Empire" Mexican in DC. I miss my tacos ...
I came from San Diego and haven't really discovered anything. For Tex Mex there is Taqueria Poblano in Del Ray, Alexandria and I think they have another location in Arlington. This place reminds me of some of the places I frequented in San Diego:

OK just to be clear I was not implying that the given pan formula

But having said that, yes I'm wondering about a true 'stereo pan' feature.
How would such a feature work?
I imagine that if for example if there is sound exclusively on the L channel,
and 'stereo pan' is at center then moved all the way to the right, the sound
that was exclusively on the L channel now moves to the exact center?
That is, all the sound in the stereo field now moves 90 degrees to the right?
It means you'd never be able to completely move an exclusive sound
which was strictly on L, all the way to the right.
Does that sound correct Geoff?
I can easily implement a true 'stereo pan', given some rules.
Just, now I'd have to give the user the option of using either pan or balance,
complicating things a wee bit more, but probably nothing an additional
small pushbutton or two couldn't fix.

Look up, THG readers. Look way, way up. See the bar? It's difficult these days on America's Got Talent because it continues to get raised on a weekly basis. Below, we recount the latest performance show, which included a series of high grades...
Zuma Zuma - The group has a tragic story that was glazed over by their enthusiastic nature. The intro took long, but I appreciated several tricks happening at the same time. The pyramids were the highlight, but they depended on the trick too much with the only variation was when they turned in a circle. My Grade: B+
Beth Ann Robinson - A great dancer, but she's against the odds as a soloist. Beth Ann had a great smile, but I wasn't sure if choosing a slower song was the most engaging routine. The use of the mirrors was smart to fill up the stage, except for the fact that she kept her back to the audience. My Grade: A-
Sandou Trio Russian Bar - Isn't it ironic that the "Russian Bar" is part of their name and they decided to drop the Russian Bar? The singing was weak, but watching a piano rotating wasn't that bad. I'm expecting a real singing/piano act try that next year. The whole thing was sleepy. My Grade: D-

Saudi Arabia, South Korea Sign Atomic Pact
Saudi Arabia is set to collaborate with South Korea on civilian atomic energy initiatives under a newly inked deal announced by Riyadh on Tuesday, Reuters reported (see GSN, Nov. 3).
The agreement enables the sides to carry out joint efforts related to constructing atomic energy and scientific nuclear sites, preparing personnel, preventing accidents, handling waste and other matters, King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy said in a release. The Saudi government has entered similar pacts with Argentina and France.
Saudi Arabia earlier this year indicated it aims over the next two decades to construct 16 nuclear reactors (see GSN, June 2; Reem Shamseddine, Reuters, Nov. 15).

What happened to the Arizona Cardinals last year? I was apprehensive about their 4-0 start as anyone in 2012, but for them to turn around like they did and be one of the absolute worst teams in the NFL after that kind of a start was pretty remarkable.
Plain and simple, the Cardinals were missing two pieces of their team that wound up proving to be the ultimate killer. First and probably foremost, they had no true #1 quarterback. Kevin Kolb, Ryan Lindley, John Skelton, etc. You get the picture.
Not only the bad QB situation, but the Cardinals really struggled on the offensive line. They couldn't get any semblance of a running game going, and the OL was injured all over the place and in a shambles.
At least by my eye, that has all significantly changed for the Cardinals in 2013. I really like the addition of Carson Palmer at the QB position, even though I'm not a huge fan of the fact that they passed on the entire class of 2013 for quarterbacks.
The Cardinals used their top selection on the second ranked player in this class by our rankings, North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper. With a young but improved offensive line in 2013, this Cardinals team has the defense to be able to surprise some people.
Here are three players on this Cardinals roster–one from each of the last three draft classes–that could have a breakout season in 2013.
Third Year — Rob Housler, TE
The easy pick for this spot would be 2011 first rounder Patrick Peterson, whose career as a cornerback got off to a really slow start while he adjusted to the NFL by exploding onto the scene as one of the league's top punt returners. With seven interceptions and 17 passes defended last season, I'm going another route with the class of 2011, saying that Peterson has already "broken out".
Tight end Rob Housler is a budding star who had 45 receptions a year ago, but is still seeking his first career NFL touchdown after two seasons in the league. He went on injured reserve at the end of the 2012 season with one game left to play, but if he can stay healthy this year, I think we're looking at one of the up-and-coming stud tight ends in the NFL.
Housler has great size at 6'5″ 250 pounds and runs a 4.55 second 40 yard dash. This guy is an athletic stud and head coach Bruce Arians has raved about his ability on numerous occasions this offseason. With the coaching staff behind him, the former 2011 third rounder could be set for a breakout season.

Children's Health
Pediatric Rheumatology & Immunology
New Patients
We usually can see new patients within 2-3 weeks; however, your referring physician can contact us for urgent requests.
Schedule an Appointment:
For New Patients Visits Please:
- Send or bring a referral to your clinic. Please also include records such as clinic notes, lab tests and radiology results from your referring physician.
- Arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. You will be asked to fill out a four page history form.
- We ask patients to bring shorts and short sleeved shirts as it's easier to examine joints.
- Bring all your child's medications with you to clinic
- Consultation visits usually last one hour. During a consult, your physician will go through patient history form, referral notes and any lab tests that were performed. One out of every five consultations ends up having a diagnosis of rheumatology problems.
Treatment modalities include medical management, joint injections with sedation, intravenous therapies, physical and occupational therapies, and psychosocial support.
Procedures such as 'Intra-articular joint Injections' are given to established patients to treat juvenile arthritis. These procedures are usually performed for patients in the 'Follow-up' clinics.
The goal of an intra-articular steroid injection is to improve joint function and reduce inflammation. Child would be in for two hours. The injection is given through general anesthesia to minimize trauma. This is usually done by Rapid Treatment Unit's Anesthesia service located (RTU) at Primary Children' Medical Center. Side effects are unlikely. Occasionally, the joint is worse for the first 24 hours after the injection. After that the joint normally settles.

Strange Read disk error - BCD problem?
Hi guys
just installing RTM of Windows 7 to trial until my copy gets here. Hmm having a strange problem,
i have installed os first time, after about 3 days, i get the read disc error on startup. (no safemode / F8 option)
now this has happened 2 more times after i had reinstalled. all about 5 days apart (multiple restarts and shutdown)
i can't seem to find the source of the problem.
in the repair setup of the Windows 7 disc, i have done a startup repair, and it couldn't find any problems, "os loaded successful" log produced.
now if i use cmd and bootrec.exe /osscan on my c:/
it says zero OSs installed/found
although windows does detect it within the repair utility and when loading sata drivers.
what gives?
what am i doing wrong?
and why would it do this every few days after i reinstall the OS. its weird.
Harddrive has been tested, no bad sectors, all scans of disc complete successful.
is it the BCDmanager? and how do i edit that at boot?
bootrec.exe /fixboot and the other options do not work!
also i does seem like my other drive letter have changed in boot CMD, however the os partition is still C:/
any ideas?
|My System Specs
|28 Sep 2009
Solway, please fill in your system specs, it will be easier to get help.
Are you sure your ISO file you used for installation was good (check MD5 sum, hash, etc)? It coudl be a corrupt installation
|My System Specs
|29 Sep 2009
Athlon XP Barton 3200+
spec works great on Windows 7, however after 3-4 days it causes the error.
The iso is the RTM of Windows 7 with correct checksum, i have also tested the DVD against the iso on HDD, all fine.
Last night i have low level formatted drive and done a full tests, all successful.
i did try before the format, a bcdedit cmd on Windows 7 repair disc
which looked fine
so i did a rebuildbcd CMD that found a OS installation
however after i did that i ran bootrec.exe /scanos which said i had zero OSs, very strange. i also noted that the C:/ had change to H:/ for some reason unknown (all other drives are disconnected apart from DVD.)
any ideas?
why would the drive letters swap around, they should be set.
|My System Specs
|29 Sep 2009
Solway, try sfc /scannow on an elevated command prompt
If it is a driver problem, rather than OS problem, it should catch it.

however after i did that i ran bootrec.exe /scanos which said i had zero OSs, very strange. i also noted that the C:/ had change to H:/ for some reason unknown (all other drives are disconnected apart from DVD.)
like maybe you had XP then vista and now Windows 7. and some time you apparently DUAL Booted. or you jammed one install. the main reason that your OS's changed letters is you have 2 or 3 partitions on the SAME HDD.
there for the {bootmgr} is located on the original HDD where you first installed the first OS. then some time you changed/added HDDs so now you have ???? 2 HDDs and and other partitions.
sample: 2 HDDs and 3 partitions ea. that gives you #1 HDD= c,d,e,
#2 HDD =f,g,h, nowyou originally installed XP on #1 HDD = c,d,e. then later you added #2 and then changed the drive letters so that #2 was c,d,e. the original c: has the original {bootmgr}.
Simply put over a period of time YOU SCREWED UP AND LOST TRACK OF WHERE THE {BOOTMGR}(Original Boot - HDD) was LOCATED.
orb -> type cmd (run as admin) type bcdedit {enter}
now scan till you see where {bootmgr} is located. That my friend is your original C: so unless you are dual booting.
I suggest
1. then make a FULL IMAGE of your current Windows 7.
2. Move the original C: HDD back to become BOOT DRIVE.
3. boot to the boot disk your image maker allows. and copy the image backup of Win 7 to the original C:
4. Now your bootmgr = C:
5. You boot OS is Win 7.
when you boot Windows 7 will be C: along with the bootmgr being correct.
Problem solved. I usually get $100.00 to fix this mess.
|My System Specs
|30 Sep 2009
i did have xp on the drive C: (separate HDD), but i did a full format anyway. (not low level)
i only have C: on one HDD, f,g,m,s are on a second HDD for files
Windows 7 was running fine , until a few days later.
But it does not explain why bootrec.exe scanos doesn't find a OS installed on C:, although rebuildbcd does, ditto Windows 7 startup repair.
im just reinstalled Windows 7 after a full low level format and check of drive. i'll wait a few days to see if its happens, before i start installing apps/settings.
previously i pre-formated my drive to prevent the 100mb reserved partition, so now i have left it to what Windows 7 wants.
i'll try the sfc /scannow command in boot if it happens again

Saturday, March 10th, 2012 & Sunday March 11th, 2012
After saying goodbye to the new friends we had made on the work site and getting a taste-test of Seattle, we settled down to prepare for the last day of the journey. It was bound to be an adventure and I can say for certain that I was not disappointed.
Our first stop: a volcano. Yes, a volcano, called Mount Rainier. While it hasn't erupted in over 1,000 years, it is still active and poses a huge potential threat to the outlying area. We ventured to a point called Paradise and enjoyed the beautiful snow-filled scenery that the site offered and attempted to stay on our feet despite the slippery ice.
Once the cold got the best of us, it was on to the next stop: Jack in the Box. Predominately found on the West Coast, it's a fast food restaurant that has quite a unique selection of items. From burgers to grilled cheeses to teriyaki bowls, Jack in the Box amazed me with such an odd array of food choices. This pit stop provided us with the fuel to last us until we got to the big city of Seattle.
The group traveled up the Space Needle to get a 360-degree view of the city and I must say it was breathtaking. We then headed off to Pike Place Market, which was so full of life and culture that I could've spent hours walking around. Fish were flying in the air and flowers were being sold almost every 20 feet that you walked. So many trinkets and chachkies were on display and for sale, and live music filled the halls with soulful jams. People were dancing and the vibe in the air was pure joy. I never wanted to leave the stores, but the growling of my stomach told me it was time to eat, and eat we did.
Pike Place Bar & Grill filled our stomachs with delicious food. Oddly enough, JW celebrated his second 21st birthday in the past two days. I had no idea someone could turn a certain age so many times, but it's become a bit of a tradition to embarrass him with a birthday welcome from a restaurant during the spring break trips. Unlike the night before where we sang the "Star Spangled Banner," we chose a more traditional approach at this restaurant and sang the typical "Birthday Song." Still, it involved free cheesecake, laughter, and singing so there were no complaints.
Following the meal, we headed to the airport where we spent the next 12 hours or so either on an airplane or waiting for flights. My first red-eye flight experience wasn't so bad, but I think I speak for everyone when I say we were truly exhausted when we finally landed back in the 'burgh.
The sun welcomed us home, but it was a bittersweet feeling for myself. Having been on the alternative spring break trips before, it would seem as if I understand the procedure: head to the destination, volunteer and explore for a week, head home and continue on with the daily routine. It isn't that easy though, and every time I land back in Pittsburgh I find myself wanting nothing more than to go back to the worksite.
This trip was filled with so many beautiful people that are wonderful both inside and out. They have all taught me so much about myself. To all of those people: thank you so much and please continue to make a difference both in the lives of people as well as the world. You are a motivation to all and I am so grateful to have had this experience.
I am extremely proud to say I have been a part of this group of students and that I was able to spend time working alongside so many inspirational people in Tacoma. Each of them has left an impact upon me and I can only hope to one day inspire them as much as they have motivated me.
—Kelly Cline

Finally was able to paint today and so very glad I did. Can you believe after all these years of having a long distance love affair with the ocean I have been transplanted near my life-long obsession? This is where I get lost for hours absorbing the glory of each wave and cloud. While I moved here under duress; the ocean has been such a calming and welcoming friend, for which I am eternally grateful.

"With earnings scheduled for after the close Thursday, "
"RIM's earnings are expected around 7 a.m. ET. Digits will be live-blogging the call to follow at 8 a.m. ET."
Scheduled for before market open due to good friday. Should be exciting.
It should also be exciting to know that the company formerly known as Research in Motion no longer exists. For those who care about the small details, the company has officially been trading under the BBRY symbol and Blackberry name since February 4th. RIM no longer exists…
Thank you both for the clarification. Good to know some people are properly following the company formerly
known as Rim! A bit like Prince.
Luxton…My comments were definitely not pointed at you! I find it very hard to understand how the WSJ can continue to get this wrong as it's been almost 2 months since the change. Guess news travels slow out of Canada nowadays.
Thanks, Detail..News out of Canada travels like molasses in March!
Thanks for the comments, "Details" and "William Luxton," we really appreciate them. Just to clarify any confusion, the company announced earlier this year that it changed its name to BlackBerry, but the legal name — Research In Motion — doesn't change until shareholders vote for it at the company's annual meeting later this year. Here's the note on BlackBerry's Investor Relations page:
"Research In Motion announced that effective January 30, 2013, the Company would operate around the world under the iconic name BlackBerry. The legal name of the company has not changed but the Company will do business as BlackBerry until shareholders vote for the official change at the Company's Annual General Meeting later in 2013. Effective the start of trading on Monday, February 4, 2013, the Company's new ticker symbols – "BB" on the Toronto Stock Exchange and "BBRY" on the NASDAQ – take effect."
Per WSJ style, we're sticking with "Research In Motion" until the vote takes place and the name change becomes official.
What do you guys think?
I assumed it had more to do with "legalise" than some oversight.
Thanks SR for taking note and for the clarification.

It can be a challenge for parents to get their kids to share with each other - let alone with people they don't know.
Philanthropy is more than about giving money - it's about giving time and resources to promote a cause that means something to the donor. How do you make sure your little ones carry those same values into adulthood?
Here are tips to help your children become young philanthropists.
Talk and model philanthropy
By modeling a certain behavior, children are more likely to follow suit, said Cody Logsdon, associate director of U.S. volunteer programs for Habitat for Humanity.
"Parents who are actively involved in service, civically engaged and philanthropic with their money tend to have children who will grow up to do the same," she said.
Talk about the ways you give back to the community in front of your kids. If you volunteer at an animal shelter, for example, talk about the dogs you met that day and how your efforts - no matter how small - has an impact on their quality of life.
"By seeing parents give and volunteer makes acting philanthropically seem natural and helps young people understand how money and action can make a difference in communities," said Mollie Bunis, director of philanthropic services with Strategic Philanthropy, Ltd., in Chicago.
Start young
Although young children might not be as active in volunteer work as older children, by consistently building up exposure to volunteerism and giving, it will eventually become a way of life for many kids, said Kathy Wojkovich, director of the United Way Regional Volunteer Center in Valparaiso.
"Even if they're small children, have them put a little money away each allowance," Wojkovich said. "A small portion of that can go into a piggy savings bank."
Bunis said some have suggested that the first time a parent should teach about giving is the first time the child says, "mine."
"At about age 5, a child can begin to see things from another person's perspective," she said. "With young children, the goal should be establishing the habit of giving, regardless of which group kids give their money to or why."
Over time, parents can teach children how to think more strategically about doing the most good, Bunis said.
Let them choose how and when
Kids will feel more of a connection to philanthropy if they're allowed to choose how and when they want to give, Wojkovich said.
Wojkovich suggests taking kids on tours of local organizations so they can see firsthand how their charitable endeavors directly affects those receiving the help.
"Go locally," she said. "There isn't a nonprofit who wouldn't love to give a family a tour. Take a tour so kids understand why they're doing this and then it becomes more meaningful to them."
After their philanthropic experience, Megan Sikes, communication and advocacy manager for the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, suggests following up with them and how it helped.
"I think you have to have the conversation on top of the activity itself to really explain to them what is going on in the community and why we even need them to work on these projects for us in the first place," Sikes said.
Show how it benefits them
As a Girl Scout, 16-year-old Tara Beere started a teen volunteer website, volunteerandpassiton.blogspot.com, so fellow students could easily find opportunities suitable for their ages and interests.
"Unfortunately, many teens in this generation don't want to do something if it won't benefit them," the Kankakee Valley High School student said. "I always try to tell my peers that volunteering is one of the best things to put on college applications."
Once teens start volunteering, however, they find out the many benefits that come with it, including helping others, she said.
Chris Eller Esparza, volunteer coordinator with the Lake County United Way Regional Volunteer Center, said parents can explain to kids - especially teens - how serving their community is a way to find out more about themselves and where they want to go in life.
"Volunteering is a place to test what you want to do in life, in careers and family," Esparza said.
Give the gift of giving
In honor of a special occasion, parents can model the charitable ethic for young people by making donations to favored charities in their names, Bunis said.
"Some children turn their own birthday parties into charitable events by suggesting guests bring gifts for needy children rather than for themselves," she said.
It's also important to be open about wealth and money, Bunis said. Take the time to be clear about your own money values and then look to see what values you are conveying to children.
"Children need to hear that a rich life doesn't require lots of money and that self-worth isn't measured by bank account balances," she said.

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to meet and talk with Inocente Izucar, an incredible artist and beautiful person with a driving story and an even more inspiring soul. Inocente's journey is one of hope and love and most importantly passion, teaching me that I can overcome obstacles and realize my dreams with those driving forces in my arsenal.
I was given this opportunity through the Kentucky Center for the Perfroming Arts, who called me up in the hopes of having paletas for the meet and greet following the screening of this multi talented documentary and Q&A with Inocente. In a mad rush of excitement I couldn't turn this opportunity down! The theme of the night was traditional paleta flavors, some of my original recipes, one even that I had to pull off the dusty shelf and revitalize. You see, the director of this event had lived in Mexico while growing up, and a few years in both California and New Mexico, meaning she knew her flavors well. Well enough to ask specifically for Tamrindo, even when it wasn't listed on my order list. In the end it was everything a paleta traditionalist could ask for, sweet Horchata, Mexican Chocolate with a kick, Cucumber Jalapeno, Tamarind, and of course, your traditional Strawberry, but made with whole fruit and no added anything, you can't get better than that.
At the end of the evening, that's when it became a special moment for me. With the crowds gone and only the staff and participants remaining I had a chance to meet and talk with Inocente. We discussed my paletas and her art and after sharing with her my personal favorites of her work, she generously insisted I take a piece with me. Signed, sealed and delivered. I am so excited to frame this peace and hang it in my home.
This piece resonated with me, even now when I think on it I can't tell you why exactly. Maybe it has to do with the happenings of my personal life? I'm currently dealing with a loss of sorts and although it is a sad and un-wanted moment in my timeline, a storm of heavy clouds and rain, I know that every day will bring a brighter tomorrow. The color spoke to me. The theme inspired me. And Inocente shared a little bit of her soul with me.
