T is for Trust
Regardless of the name it is given in an organization - teamwork or unity or something fancy like synergy – issues are par for the course when humans are involved.
A normal day becomes a day of trials when upon entering the office there is that feeling in the air – the leader knows, there is a disturbance in the force. When a synergy shift is noted, it's time to put the detective hat on and determine whether these are temporary disturbances that are normative or if there is a deeper disruption festering within the group. In the course of an investigation of discordance a good sleuth will distinguish between symptoms and source(s).
When it comes to deficiencies in teamwork, often inexperienced leaders will address unity as its own source when in reality it is a symptom. Here's a thought - teamwork is not fixed by teamwork. To put it another way, talking about unity, training on cooperation or attempting to force synergy into the system often will not cure an issue as all of these efforts are chasing symptoms rather than addressing source. Teamwork is a product, it develops from other sources within your team. Conversely, a lack of teamwork is a symptom, it manifests to expose sources of malignancy within your organization. At its foundation, teamwork is a product of trust – the "T" in Team is for Trust.
Trust Springs From The Head Of The Fountain
When trust is built into the fabric of a team, teamwork will thrive. Without trust, teamwork will be cyclical at best and will not be able to establish roots within the organization. In the process of building a team, trust has to be a core value from the top down. A few questions that will help reveal whether there is a foundational trust issue include: 1) Does leadership trust each other? 2) Is the leadership team setting an example of trust? Leaders who believe in the vision, who respect their co-workers and promote the beauty of both will organically transfer a level of trust throughout the organization. Leaders who have not bought into the vision and/or have reservations about the trustworthiness of their coworkers will emit a level of distrust that will hinder the development of unity in the organization.
Trust Starts With Trustworthy People
Does your hiring process seek and add trustworthy people to the organization? Employees are watching who leadership hires, as who and how a company hires reinforces or contradicts what leadership has declared as it's values. Is there consistency in how leadership deals with core issues that test the building of trust within the team? The working measure of trust in the workplace is, "Can I trust you to do what you say?" When a team member commits to performing a task, regardless of how simple or complex, can the other members of the team trust that their teammate will do their best to follow through on their commitments?
Trust Builds Momentum Through Consistency
People that may not have the strongest interpersonal relationships can still work with each other, if they have trust. When there is a disturbance in the force, when leadership is asking why teamwork is scant, the investigation trail should be aimed at sources of trust/mistrust within the organization. Low teamwork does not mean throw more teamwork at the void. The question should delve into sources that are undermining trust. Do team members trust each other? Does management trust it's employees?
Trust Flows Or Sputters With Conflict
If teamwork starts with trust, trust survives or dies with truth. Truth fleshes itself in an organization by having a clear vision and bringing people who are invested in seeing that vision through. Truth can be a source of conflict. When conflict is brought about by a tangling among team members over truth, this interaction can be a constructive encounter and must be managed properly to net a positive result (read more on this in our article Embrace Conflict). A commitment to truth, the development of trust and the momentum of teamwork are all ingredients that must be intentionally maintained over the life of a team.
Every organization desires unity, synergy will only result where teamwork is demonstrated, trust is protected and the truth is that teamwork has to be demonstrated. Are you an example for your team as to what teamwork looks like? Do your words and your actions establish the parameters for trust within your organization? The next time you have concerns or issues with teamwork, take a look at where trust is being built and where it is being undermined in your organization. Build trust by being creating clarity around truth in your organization, consistently protecting those values and developing accountability within the team from the top down and the bottom up. The first place to look when seeking to build trust, regardless of your position, is to ask whether you are exemplifying or undermining trust in the organization.

Walking Dead S3 details from SDCC
San Diego Comic Con has blessed us with even more information regarding the upcoming third season of Telltale's The Walking Dead. Please note that there are a few spoilers from Season 2 here. Now, on to the walker-infested fun!
Telltale royalty Melissa Hutchison, the voice of Clementine, (she also appears in The Wolf Among Us, Back to the Future: The Game, and Minecraft: Story Mode) joined Dennis Lenart to discuss game details with fans during Comic Con. Dennis Lenart is the creative director behind The Walking Dead , leading his team of talented artists and writers to develop such a beautiful and emotional game. Sadly, they couldn't reveal too many insider secrets but did show some new screenshots from the game. The images include Clementine, Javier, and even an appearance by AJ as a young child which clues us in that we are at least a couple of years into the future since the last installment. Clem herself also looks like a young teenager being between fourteen or sixteen years old. There are no confirmations on this per se, just speculation from myself so don't take this as fact.
Previously on The Walking Dead, AJ was a newborn after Rebecca gave birth to him in season 2. AJ was then entrusted to Clementine and regardless of your choices and ending in season 2, he sticks with you, his new caregiver. Can you imagine being about 12 years old, handed a baby and told "here take care of him for the rest of your life in a dangerous walker-filled world?" I gotta hand it to Clem, she's responsible and bold for keeping up with that promise.
What's cool about season 3 is that whether or not you've played the previous seasons and dlc doesn't matter as much. Before you angrily grumble about Telltale doing this to your friends in the darkest corners of the internet, any choices that players have made will carry over and affect your story. However, season 3 will be very accessible for new players as well with the story giving a good jumping off point. It will mix Clem's history along with the current storyline to provide fresh-faced walker warriors the chance to not get overwhelmed and confused.
Additionally, this season will take a hint from Telltale's Game of Throne series by allowing players to play as both Javier and Clementine. Despite this information, there's no tips as to whether or not you'll be playing each character in the same time or different times. Regardless, it should be a memorable and interesting experience that will leave new and seasoned fans captivated.
Questions I need answered
- Where is Christa and will she be making an appearance in season 3?
- Will Kenny still be with you if you chose to stay with him in season 2?
- Will Jane still be with you if you chose to stay with her in season 2?
- How many years have passed since season 2?
- How do Clem and Javier meet up?
- Did Wellington fall (it looks like they're mostly on the road from the screenshots)?
- Who is the girl with Javier in junkyard, his daughter, sister, etc?
- Why is there a slaughterhouse full of walkers locked up?
- Will there be a villain like Carver or the Governor?
- Do the decisions from the Michonne mini series impact anything in season 3?
- Does Michonne make an appearance in season 3?
- Do we have any crossover with The Walking Dead TV series and Rick's group?
I'm hoping that season 3 will answer all my questions so far and I know that somehow it'll leave me with more like many others. Also, yes I'm a huge Walking Dead nerd. Moving forward, San Diego Comic Con has released a poster for the new chapter in the game series. It pays homage to a previous poster from SDCC 2011 when the Walking Dead concept was first displayed. You may be able to swipe a badass poster yourself, more details coming later in the summer. So who's excited for season 3 and wants it here already?

Dry, warm, windy weather Friday will create optimal conditions for wildfires to spread across Maine, according to the National Weather Service.
A " Red Flag Warning," issued for "critical fire weather conditions," will stay in effect for the entire state from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday. The alert also extends to New Hampshire.
The service urged people to use extra precaution when starting and extinguishing fires, as winds are more likely to kick embers aloft into the dry grass, and flames are more likely to develop and spread.
Weather forecasts Friday call for temperatures in the mid-50s to mid-60s, humidity as low at 18 percent, and winds blowing between 5 and 15 mph, with some gusts reaching 25 mph, the service wrote. Those conditions are conducive to wildfires, or what the service called "extreme fire behavior."

|Threat Level
|Active Status
|Other Names
|El Chupacabra, Vampire Dog
Description: The occasional weird looking dog gets a trail camera shot of it, or a blob washes up on the Puerto Rican coast and the locals point to it as a sign of the impending apocalypse. Just be glad the truth is a little stranger.
The Goat Sucker, dubbed El Chupacabra by the locals, is the size of a large dog, completely lacking fur or other similar coverage on its skin. As far as retrieved (dead) specimens go, the largest found measured 20 lb four days into decomposition, measuring in at about a yard long from head to tail splayed out on its side. Our field biologists and several contracted Bahaman veterinarians can agree that the species lack sweat glands or follicles, but are assumed to be Marsupialian from pouches observed on both sexes of specimens. Goat Suckers are possibly descended from a continued direct line of early Therapsids, appearing vaguely mammalian with several reptilian facial features.
Goat Suckers need to eat like any other animal, but contrary to local "vampiric" descriptions, they do scavenge from carcasses. On occasion, they will seek out small prey to devour and even supplement their diet with fruits or wild berries. Blood is a nutritious treat to be consumed by the Goat Sucker and it won't shy away.
These organisms definitely aren't accepted by mainstream science as they harbor a strange ability: Evolutionary Mimicry. Vampire Dogs are extremely adaptive, able to incorporate their meals' DNA into their own and temporarily acquire these traits. Most famous reports (see Shell Dog Encounter Report in the Records section) indicate a preference for armadillo carcasses or armadillos for their defensive capabilities. Armadillo-Chupacabras appear similar to their basic form, though their skin has grown a hardened segmented carapace where floppy skin would normally go. Other similar acquisitions are gliding wings from fruit bats, immense jaw strength from snapping turtles, and opposable thumbs from howler monkeys (much to my dismay). The forms they turn into are temporary, passing through their bodies after a week of consumption. However, the more of the same animal they eat, the longer they can stay in that evolved state. Plants and fruits don't seem to have any effect on them. Despite some knowledge of their abilities, our Central American Security Team (CAST)1 is at work creating exclusion zones to keep them away from communities. We still don't know what happens when they eat human flesh and we want to make sure we don't find out.
Background: The Cold War was hotter than you remember. The Bay of Pigs in '61 could have started something big at the time. Compounded with the fact that the Soviets moved missiles into Cuba in '62, we were reaching a boiling point. The silos the Cuban and Soviet engineers built were capable of launching medium-range ballistic missiles tipped with nuclear warheads. While human ingenuity allowed for these awe-inspiring weapons to exist, it also caused some problems.
A CAST raid of old documents thought to be destroyed decades ago revealed that there was leakage of radioactive materials during transportation of the missiles. Of course, the leakage was immediately contained after it was noticed, but the damage to the environment was difficult to measure, even more so with government suppression.
|Inside a building labelled "Department 4, Seismological Research" at the former launch site.
A localized expedition by for-hire Cuban allies was sent out into the countryside near San Cristobal in 1991 to collect dirt samples for the purpose of radiological testing. At the time, we were investigating reports of a creature that propped up along Florida's coasts and we assumed that the rip currents may have brought it in from Cuba. The expedition revealed a swathe of residual radiation within a closed off "conservation zone." Cuban ecologists weren't blind to the environmental effects and abandoned research labs were discovered along San Cristobal's former silo grounds, though they were dilapidated. Uncovering the research notes of a Dr. Manuel Tercero within the ruins of the site showed us contextualization of how the Chupacabra came to be.
The following message was found within an unmarked manila folder, addressed to a Ms. Rivera. Its original text was written in Spanish, which has been translated into English.
No more records of Dr. Tercero have been found and we still don't know his identity. It's as if he was scrubbed from the records that we had access to; looking for him is currently Team Bermuda's primary objective. Our animal doctors from the Bahamas were recommended to us by Bureau contacts. I suppose this is why we keep them at arm's length.
Location and Population: It's not hard to imagine that they ate some fish or other marine animals to be able to spread around the Gulf of Mexico. Since our major discovery in 1991, we found other coastal and even inland reports flow in with major sightings occurring in our home turf of the Everglades. Sparky and I2 keep up the documentation in Florida and keep in frequent radio contact with CAST to spot any movement.
Their population is not known, but they are assumed to number somewhere in the hundreds. Still not much, but enough to be seen. Because water travel is quite effective at spreading them around, it's dangerous for us if they leave the Gulf, though they haven't migrated to other areas beyond as far as we know. Seems they're comfortable living here.
Hunting or Procurement Methods: La Quivira, one of the CAST outfits, employs fishermen to keep an eye out for sightings, but we've yet to capture one alive for long. There must not be enough of them to hunt for, but hell, those sightings pop up like moles in our backyard. The only specimens we've captured were dead or died relatively quickly in captivity. It requires pure luck to catch, even dead ones. We're still trying.
Encounter Records: Though short, this report is our most well known since it is the only one in which our team encountered and captured live specimens before the creatures perished. It's not as glamorous as you thought it would be. It was submitted by the outfit, Gruquilo (Grupo Tranquilo, Quiet Group in English), operating in the Yucatan Peninsula.
Additional Notes: The Bureau's ongoing funds for CAST ceased after 1990 (probably because they didn't need to monitor Cuba as much since then), so we've relied on volunteer work from local outfits. The Bureau did pay heftily for these carcasses though, and some outfits resorted to selling to them for funding, which I dislike, but what can you do? Our DCC in the Bahamas does have some remains in storage, but like the doctor, we don't have the facilities to really scrutinize them. We'd have to go to the Bureau for that, and I'm sure plenty of us don't want to hand over the only bodies we have left. Maybe over my dead body.

Hey. Psst. Caps fan. Yeah, you. I see you creepin'. Come here, I have an idea for you.
Once upon a time, Montreal booed the USA national anthem during a Habs-Bruins game. The series then traveled to Boston. Did we follow suit and jeer during the Canadian anthem? Did we yell "LET'S GO BRUINS!" or sing some ungodly version of that stupid OLE song?
No. We stood, cheered, and sang along as Rene Rancourt belted out the lyrics to the anthem of America's Fancy Hat. And then the Bruins kicked some Canadien butt.
Look, guys, we all know your team can handle the butt-kicking. We all saw the score of the game tonight; we know that Ovie, Backstrom, Laich and Crew should have no problem annihilating the Habs in the last two games of the series.
But HOW COOL WOULD IT BE if Washington DC welcomed Les Habitants with a rousing cheer for Canada's anthem?
And if you don't know the words but you want to sing along, just follow the example of the LA Kings' anthem singer and look it up on your Blackberry. I'm sure somewhere Jim Balsillie is fist-pumping with glee.
Oh, and – just because this post can't be all about the Habs and the Caps, since there was in fact another game 3 tonight…
Game 4 is Wednesday.
Rask is on fire (2.01 GAA).
Boychuk and Sobotka have developed a taste for Buffalo. Mmm, delicious hits. Specifically, this one.
Playoffs, the playoffs what. GO BRUINS.

There's a saying that goes, you can never be too careful. And clearly they are talking about safety and being on the cautious side of things. I think that's wrong or partially incorrect. It is possible to be too careful and it can be costly at times.
Aviation whether it's a flight training, air taxi, airline or any other company in between has always revolved around the topic of safety. It is the core, the foundation, the epicenter of the whole infrastructure of what we call Aviation. Anything that has to do with flying, has to do with safety. If it wasn't the case, the whole flying industry would literally and figuratively plummet from the sky. But what if these companies decide to all of the sudden think you can never be too careful?
Well if by being too careful means taking no risk, well then unpack your bags cause your airline may not be flying anymore. In flying there are all sorts of hazards that are at risk, to name a few there's wind, weather, system failures and so on. But that doesn't mean you wouldn't take an airplane through weather with some wind and well the systems are kind of important to keep the airplane flying. And risk, well everyone has their own perception of risk which depends on many factors like past experience and so on (that's a whole can of worms.)
That's the reason why safety isn't defined as the absence of risk...instead it's a condition that exists when hazards are managed to an acceptable risk. (straight from my safety management systems course).
So if by being too careful means you aren't taking risk then the quote you can never be too careful is simply wrong. Take your risks and manage them according to your own perception and level of acceptance. You may not be running a multi-million dollar company but you will definitely be rewarded in some way, shape or form. High risk means high reward (usually)
"Being scared means you're onto something important. If you're not scared then you're not taking chances, if you're not taking chances then what the hell are you doing?"

Like today's weather, the next few days is going to be interesting to say the least to see where my career goes.
Sixteen years of writing... maybe it's time to move on. I'm doing so much (more financially rewarding) things in production and talent management that maybe it's time to take my experience and move on.
We'll see...

The film doesn't lie, even when you are the subject.
Vikings middle linebacker E.J. Henderson is in a familiar position, leading his defense in tackles. But when he looks at film of last season compared to his play this season, he sees a different player.
"I can say (I'm) maybe a little behind," said Henderson, who was limited in practice Thursday by a knee injury.
Still, Henderson doesn't have time to ponder, "What if?" His team is 6-1, and his defense, while ranked 17th overall in the NFL, is among the league's best in several key categories, including red zone (first) and third downs (seventh).
"I never want to look at myself and say, 'Well, you were better last year.' Or, 'You were making more plays,' which might be true," he said. "But as a professional, you try to come out every week, get better, work on the next opponent, do what I can to lead this defense, and make the plays when I can make them. Hopefully, it can pick up."
Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said Henderson has come "a long way from training camp" but also acknowledged that there are "still some things he's working through."
"When you miss 12 games of a season, to simulate that is a tough deal," Frazier said. "But some of the little things of what we do, he's gotten a lot better at and he'll continue to get better."
Henderson has missed some tackles and opportunities to make plays, notably a dropped interception with less than a minute remaining in the first half of Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh. Three plays later, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger placed a ball barely over Henderson and into the arms of rookie receiver Mike Wallace for a 40-yard touchdown.
Henderson says his foot "gets sore here and there" but added that it doesn't affect him during games. Yet he is fighting the knee injury this week and was slowed by a shoulder injury before the San Francisco game.
"You know, he wouldn't say it has anything to do with it," Frazier said of the injuries. "But as an athlete, it definitely affects you. But you try to play through whatever the ailments are."
Injury update: Vikings rookie receiver Percy Harvin did not practice because of an illness. Coach Brad Childress said Harvin's injury is not football-related and was hopeful that he would return for today's practice.
Cornerback Antoine Winfield also did not practice and is not expected to play until after the bye.
Receiver Bernard Berrian (hamstring) took a step forward and practiced on a limited basis. Quarterback Brett Favre (hip), linebacker Jasper Brinkley (hamstring), linebacker Ben Leber (calf), cornerback Karl Paymah (quad), fullback Naufahu Tahi (ankle) and receiver Darius Reynaud (hamstring) were all limited.
Defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy returned to practice after missing Wednesday's session to tend to a non-injury matter.
Hitting the hole: Vikings special-teams coordinator Brian Murphy likened the way Harvin barrels through traffic on kickoff returns to a race car in a Tom Cruise movie.
"It's like that movie ("Days of Thunder"), where (Cruise) drives through the smoke," Murphy said. "Don't turn because cars are splashing back and forth, just run through the smoke and come out the other end. You have to trust that you will come through the other end."
Harvin, who leads the league in kickoff return average (29.8 yards) and has taken a league-high two kicks for touchdowns, said, "You can't be scared to hit the holes."
"A lot of people want to go outside, but a lot of times, you got to get downhill and get what you can get," he added. "Sometimes you pop them; sometimes you're going to take the big hit."
Briefly: Henderson said Childress has been preaching the three-game lead the Vikings can have in the NFC North as motivation for Sunday's game.

Injection fear cost Ribery, says doctor
The Bayern Munich man was withdrawn from Didier Deschamps' squad in Brazil, after failing to overcome a back injury.
Ribery, 31, missed three weeks in the latter part of the Bundesliga season, and France's doctor Franck Le Gall claimed Bayern were at fault for rushing him back for their DFB-Pokal final win over Borussia Dortmund on May 17.
"He was out for more or less three weeks and played a match which he probably shouldn't have played because he played through pain," Le Gall said.
Le Gall added that Bayern's method of dealing with injury - via needle - had worn off on Ribery, who was no longer open to injections, which potentially cost him a spot in Brazil.
"Franck belongs to a club where the treatment of every injury, whatever it is an ankle sprain, bruises, muscular pain, spasm, muscle tear, it's injections," Le Gall said.
"And he got 10 by injury, so 20, 25, 40 per year or more. So after a while, he's tired of injections.
"If for a moment we thought we could fix it like that, we did not do it because he's afraid of injections now."
Le Gall said while he discovered the reason for Ribery's pain, he could not find a solution outside of injections to solve it in time for their Group E campaign against Ecuador, Honduras and Switzerland.
"The diagnosis of lower back pain is really vague, I heard some journalists trying to figure out the cause, it can be a slipped disc, it can be muscular strain," Le Gall said.
"Ribery had a bit of everything but the medical exam he had was really reassuring.
"So we know why he got this pain, but…we did not find a way to stop the pain or to make him play with this pain."

Warehouses and manufacturing facilities are primarily designed to be functional for a specific production purpose, with employee comfort and cooling concerns being only of secondary consideration. The results are buildings with high ceilings, vast open spaces, and large mechanical obstructions which make the task of cooling workers and equipment exceedingly difficult. But elevated environmental temperatures in the workplace can lead to heat-related illnesses, and mental and physical fatigue, significantly hindering productivity. Furthermore, hot working conditions dramatically increase the wait time to handle parts and machinery as it takes longer for the equipment to cool.
This heat-related non-productive time is a tremendous process inefficiency that often goes unnoticed, but can brutally impact bottom lines. A proper cooling solution improves the personal comfort of employees, and can be vital to maintaining productivity. But the expense of implementing a cooling system in hot work environments is a decision that can have substantial on-going financial ramifications. Beyond looking at the price tag of the cooling equipment itself, though, factoring in the hidden costs of productivity and operational efficiency can reveal that opting for the cheapest cooling solution often results in negative impacts to business performance.
The value of effective cooling has been realized across many industries, improving operational efficiency in several businesses:
- A major airline utilizes innovative engine cooling for faster ground turns.
- A Texas-based industrial company cools process vats, minimizing maintenance wait times.
- Kiln cooling performed by a reputable cement company enables faster cleaning and maintenance, saving days of wait time!
Other common uses for cooling in a production setting that can increase productivity are:
- Extruded parts and castings
- Furnaces
- Process vessels
- Aircraft maintenance
- Rotomolders
- Automotive
- Rotating Equipment
Breezer Mobile Cooling, recognizing the hidden costs of heat which can burn a hole in your facility's wallet and affect overall productivity, has developed their groundbreaking Power Breezer cooler. A high-performance mobile cooling solution featuring an innovative, patented design based on jet propulsion technology, the Power Breezer delivers impressive cooling where it's needed most. By utilizing the Power Breezer in their facilities, one of the top five automobile manufacturers has reduced its process cooling time by 50%, while a construction platform manufacturer slashed their process cooling time by a staggering 67%!
Time is money. With the Power Breezer from Breezer Mobile Cooling, heat related employee non-productivity and process cooling times decrease, resulting in improved working conditions and lower overhead.

If you're worried about how to teach Islamic values to your young children in a way that will keep them interested, Adam's World is one of the most powerful tools in your struggle.With the media bombarding our children with unIslamic values daily, we need to communicate Islam to this next generation of Muslims with the same tools that attract our children's attention. That's why Adam's World is so necessary. Here's what one parent had to say about this world famous children's video series.
"I just had to pen this e-mail after viewing the first three videos of the Adam's World series that I purchased recently. Masha Allah! The quality, production and content of the program is excellent. Within just a few hours my children were 'unhooked' from their Disney videos.
This is probably the wisest investment I have made on my kids' behalf thus far. I intend to purchase the whole series without delay.
Keep up the good work!"

Lately I've been thinking about what I do and why I do it, and just keeping check on what my motivations and goals are. Yesterday, I "took the day off," and refused to check my technologies whatsoever. I went to church. I took a nap. I enjoyed slower living and perhaps a dose of perspective as well. I spent a good bit being grouchy about the lack of chocolate chip cookies in my life, but otherwise it was a lovely day.
Sometimes life feels like a race against the clock to get things done. Children happy- emails answered- home cleaned- kids taken to lessons- food purchased, meals created, meals cleaned--
It's easy to get off track and get the stay-at-home-mom lifestyle a bit backward. The kids will create and I walk behind them with my broom... figuratively or literally.
It's a funny thing: I tend to get the most accomplished when I'm not doing life in a hurried way. Perhaps it means taking 30 minutes to fold laundry, but little hands are with me, matching socks and folding and refolding together. Perhaps it means everyone "doing work" together at the table: brows furrowed with concentration over their color crayons and workbooks, as I sit beside them, answering emails and paying bills. "Working" together. Perhaps it means starting dinner an hour early and allowing helpers to mix ingredients together themselves.
It's a better way to live. It's more conducive to striking conversations with my girl Sophie about favorites, about what she thinks of different food {her list of favorite foods is hilarious! broccoli, lollipops, cake, brussel sprouts, and ice cream!}, about where she likes to go the most, about what books she enjoys... It's also more conducive to learning about Maggie's interests {she wants to see every.single.thing I'm preparing in the kitchen, and she can spend 30 minutes coloring!}. These are things I don't learn when I'm trailing behind "just trying to keep up."
Cheers to today! I'm raising my {third} mug of coffee to slower living, and to a Monday enjoyed to the fullest!

This first week of 2017 follows the nation's celebration of two federal holidays: Christmas and New Year's Days. Since each fell on a Sunday, most places of business chose to treat their employees to a holiday on the following Monday. On many calendars, the word Observed appeared in parentheses. For workplaces that participated in this commemoration, it was more than an observation; it was a gift!
As members of a society that tends to work hard and long days, two additional holidays may have been the best gift many of us received, despite its lack of Christmas wrapping paper and bows. Truly, time is a treasured blessing and resource, and how we use it reveals our identity and expresses our values. In parallel fashion, Jesus reminds us in Matthew's gospel: "Where your treasure is, there also will your heart be." (6:21). Could we paraphrase this: Where we spend our time, there also will our treasure be?
Among the New Year's resolutions we will make, how many involve the use of our time? If we enjoyed the extra rest from the observed holidays, perhaps this is a gentle nudging of the Spirit inviting us to examine how well we spend our time. To prevent waste, family, personal, and business budgets are regularly assessed to see how money is spent. Might a prayerful reflection over a time budget help improve our family or spiritual lives? Like the budgets that guide our homes and businesses, categories are necessary: Healthcare, food, and transportation are samples for the revenue and expense spreadsheets. To examine our use of time, would prayer, reflection, and time with loved ones garner appropriate attention?
All of the gospel readings for the four different Christmas masses—vigil, dawn, midnight, and day—include references to time. Obviously, Jesus was born at a specific time in history. Likewise, we cooperate with grace, in time, in order to help build the kingdom of peace and justice that Jesus inaugurated with his public ministry. How much time we give to this work is worth our mature and reasoned consideration.
St. Francis de Sales once wrote: "We should manage our years, our months, our weeks, our days, our hours, our moments so well that, being employed for the love of God, they all may be profitable for us in eternal life." Indeed, it is possible that we are not able to give large amounts of time to prayer or service. We can, however, offer our time spent otherwise for the love of God. The Direction of Intention is an ideal prayer for this purpose. We Oblates, through The Spiritual Directory of St. Francis de Sales, which is also our Rule of Life, commit to saying this prayer throughout our day to connect our actions—our time—to God. We invite you to join us:
The Direction of Intention
My God, I give you this action.
Please give me the grace to conduct myself during it
in a manner most pleasing to you.
Together, let us offer our lives—and the minutes, hours, days, and weeks that comprise them—to our gentle and loving God who observes us with mercy regardless of how we spend our time.

Matching clip position and scale after warp
Hi All
Adobe Premiere Pro CC v10.4
1 minute 57 second 4k Clip cut into three clips on the timeline.
I warp first clip no motion.
Leave second clip as is.
Warp third clip smooth.
However here is where the pain comes.
I have resized and repositioned the 1st clip and trying to get the last frame from clip 1 to match the first frame on clip 2 is impossible.
The footage seems to sort of pop, no matter how close I get the positioning right.
Has anyone else had this and has a solution or am I just going about this the wrong way.
Thanks in advance.
Warp stabilizer alters the image, it may be subtle but it's there. Maybe keyframe the motion effect on Clip 2 with uniform scaling turned off?
Another possible technique when doing that is to put frame 1 of clip 2 on track 2, and turn down the opacity while adjusting the scaling in order to match the two, then returning it to a match-frame and keyframing clip 2 back to "normal" over a few frames? That way, you'll probably be able to see when you're as close as possible to having identical frames.
Hope this helps.
Hi Alan
I appreciate your response; I came to a similar conclusion last night (GMT).
Interesting, I've not had to do this before, situation hadn't demanded it.
I have stabilized entire clips then transitioned to a different clip on the timeline but never attempted to stabilized part of a clip.
I can't figure out why I've not had this in the past, this must be a real common problem.
"Hit record, reposition the camera several times during the shot only to find out in post that some of the repositioning was poor or jerky and attempt to fix it.
I have moved from shooting HD to 4k with the intent of using the scale and positioning in post to get my composition just right, then export in HD.
I feel that whilst a pan and tilt looks more aggressive when scale is increased it has shown this problem as a real issue.
Maybe I have overlooked something in my workflow.
Last night I attempted using two tracks like you suggested.
Original clip on V1 and a frozen frame from the same clip on V2 as a still image for position reference.
Both clips at identical scale.
I dropped the opacity on the still image on V2 and changed the blend just to make it stand out a little more.
Using a static object in the still frame (corner of a bookcase in this instance), I altered the position as I went from frame to frame in V1.
This worked out to be even worse, as you say, however subtle warp does change the image.
I also tried your suggestion of matching the frame with the last frame of the clip that had been stabilized, it still pops.
The best I can get is to use the pop and do something dramatic like punch in on the scale to make it look like an intentional digital zoom.
I.e. warp the first clip up to a practical point, cut and then change the scale in the next clip.
The real problem was because I was trying to keep the scale the same the pop was really noticeable.
By doing it this way at least it looks planned.
If only warp could do whatever magic is does under the hood and made the final frame match the last frame in the clip that would be so much better, as I say this surely is a common issue during a clip.
I suspect that people may recommend doing some kind of motion tracking in AE but it would be handy just to use the warp in PP for part of a clip.
If I am missing a real dumb piece of learning here, I'm more than happy for anyone to point it out to me.

I am wonder ing if XML Schema can be used to decribe XML data structures with elements which have at least 2 different child elements which may occur more than once in arbitrary order. To give an example from XHMTL: 1. version of a
 element:
This is a paragraph with bold</> and underlinedcontent. It seems impossible to properly decribe this in XML schema.
 2. version of a
 element
This is a paragraph with bold</> and underlinedcontent. It seems impossible to properly decribe this in XML schema.
 My problem is the the <xsd:sequence> tags would request a knowledge of the exact sequence of  and  tags which is impossible. The only way would be to use the <all> tag, but then I am only allowed to use 1 occurance of  or  which seems to be an unacceptable restriction. Or I can use the <xsd:any> tag but then validation becomes meaningless. Am I missing something or is this a flaw in XML Schema?

I took this image after the massive floods that we had during Australia's long weekend in June 2007. The lake edge is where I once rode my bike as a youngster. On an ordinary day, the shoreline would usually be approximately 50 feet past the tree line, and where you see the birds playing is where the bike track is.
The mood in the area was sombre and residents were shocked by what they saw. One small thing that broke that mood for me, was watching these birds have the time of their lives!
I took a few photos that afternoon, and this was my pick for "Camera Critters"…. the break in the water surface is partly the reason for the selection.

I recently bought these 6 mangos from the local "BJ's" wholesale club. What a tasty Brazilian treat! These mangos are the "Tommy Atkins variety so if you are on the "Atkins" diet they are probably an approved food. Mangos are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, flavorful and a good source of fiber, or so I am told by the mango box.
There is an old saying "It takes two to tango"; but I'm not sure if it takes "Mu to mango".
Mu as most of us know is an alleged "lost continent" as well as "Atlantis" and "Lemuria". I'm not sure if mangos originated in mythical Mu but the Pacific area of the Mu continent was probably warm enough to grow mango trees.

At Thai Tom — a ridiculously popular hole-in-the-wall on the Ave — I sat at the counter this close to the action: Kaosamai's Thai-meals-on-wheels, which does a bangup weekday lunch business from a Shell station parking lot near Seattle Pacific University, sells terrific Thai take-out, but be prepared to wait (or call ahead): On my way to Woodinville recently, I drove through the heart of Bothell's old downtown and noticed Pen Thai — a well-established restaurant I'd never even heard of (though I was familiar with its Bellevue sibling, Chantanee). I didn't waste any time before going back there for dinner, whose highlights included this "Golden Duck": West Seattle's Buddha Ruksa is hard to find if you don't know where to look for it — on a corner in a residential neighborhood just off the West Seattle Bridge. I loved this unusual pairing of prawns with kabocha squash in a coconut milk-heavy curry: Then there's lovely May, in Wallingford, which tops my list of Thai food favorites, thanks, in part, to dishes like this one: So, where do you go for Thai food? COMMENTS Posted by coconutboy4u 7:58 AM, Aug 01, 2008 I love going to Moragote Restaurant in Tukwilla just off of 180th St. near IKEA. They have lots of delicious food. Our favorite is their Phad Thai Noodles and the Beef Swimming Rama ( Spinach and Beef covered with their special Peanut sauce). We go there at least 3 to 4 times a month. 425-251-6626 is there number. They have great curries as well as many other dishes we have tried. Posted by Matt Gardner 8:03 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Chantanee in Bellevue is, by far, my favorite Thai restaurant. Particularly good are their curries and the Larb Gai is delicious. Go early as they get very busy at lunchtime. Posted by rockergirl 8:27 AM, Aug 01, 2008 SInce West Seattle is my "hood" I definitely agree with you on Buddha Ruska – it is my favorite place to get takeout as well. Love the Pumpkin Curry with Shrimp there and many other great menu offerings. Posted by Heax 8:34 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Thai One On on Lake City is by far my favorite place. Their Rad nah is AMAZING! The atmosphere is great, but we really take advanatge of the free delivery. Posted by Creeves 8:47 AM, Aug 01, 2008 For the eastsiders, Silver Spoon in Redmond is the "Queen of Thai", with it's friendly staff and incredible cuisine. Don't miss the Crab Delight! Check them out at http://www.thaifoodforyou.com Posted by Dave S 8:51 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Would be a "thai" between Rascha (Woodinville/Mercer St.) and Thai Cottage – Edmonds. Favorite dish by far is Pad Se Ew w/pork – fabulous at both places! Posted by kaffirkid 8:54 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Bai Tong is still the one…great food and friendly people. Posted by Nancy Leson 8:57 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Heax: I, too, am a fan of Lake City's Thai One On. Here's my review: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/restaurants/2002394697_leson22.html Thanks, everybody! Keep those Thai-joints comin'! Posted by B.D. 9:01 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Royal Thai in Monroe (of all places) is fantastic! Some of the best Thai food in or out of Seattle Posted by Marilyn McClellan 9:10 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Since I live in Bellingham, my choices are local. On Rice in Barkley Village is my favorite. But, I have a question for you. Why is it that Thai food takeout is never as good as eating in the restaurant? Although the flavor is similar, the noodles congeal, the dish dries out, and the veggies wilt even if you are only traveling a few blocks and a few minutes away. Is it the packaging? Or is it psychological or something about the particular ingredients? Posted by Riley 9:22 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Thumra Thai 12549 116th Ave NE Kirkland, WA 98034 (425) 821-0577 My husband and I love Thumra Thai in the little strip mall across from McDonalds (west) just off of 124th (405/124th exit) in Kirkland. Their basic dishes are fresh and fairly authentic. If you're looking for TRULY authentic Thai, just ask them to make it that way. Their off-the-menu dishes are definitely tailored for the American palate, but becaue they are a little mom and pop shop, they will do special requests. Posted by Jan 9:28 AM, Aug 01, 2008 We (my family) are long time Thai aficionados and were surprised you hadn't mentioned "The King and I" in Bellevue – we always seem to gravitate back there, after trips to other Thai restaurants. Their Phad Thai can't be beat, along with their Larb Gai. Their service is fantastic, not to mention authentically Thai, which adds to the ambience. Also, we moved not to long ago, to Snohomish County and a newrestaurant has come into play – "The Royal Thai" in Monroe, whichrecently opened. Although their service is a bit slow (and not as authentic), the food was delightful. Thanks for letting me put my twocents' worth in … and, yes, we still make the trip to Bellevue to "TheKing and I" Posted by shawn 9:35 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Tup Tim Thai on Lower QA is our favorite. Posted by Nancy 9:39 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Araya's Vegetarian Place, 1121 NE 45th St in Seattle's University District. Usually go during the buffet, though I think the food is better when ordered from the menu. It's still great, though. Don't be afraid of the "vegetarian" in the name. I'm not a vegetarian. Posted by djnutz 9:41 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Thai Rhapsody in Mill Creek, Bothell. Best Thai I have had and the customer service is fantastic. It's my second home. Posted by mmmThai 9:49 AM, Aug 01, 2008 In Ballard, Thai Siam on 15th Ave NW has a great menu, including seasonal specials. They're awesome. Posted by Sara Chapman 9:53 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Hi Nancy, You missed one of the best restaurants in Seattle, let alone the south sound area. It's Suthanya Thai Renaissance Bistro in Des Moines, of all places. The owner is a delightful host, the decor is unusual and wonderful (the place settings and other items are different from table to table) and the food is fabulous, absolutely fabulous. You can even get brown rice! They use organic veggies, some of which Suthanya grows out back. Presentation is gorgeous. We feel celebrations deserve no less a lovely and delicious setting. Hope you give her restaurant a well-deserved visit and mention, as it has tremendously upgraded the Des Moines restaurant scene, as well as a much larger area. Posted by thaitramp 10:04 AM, Aug 01, 2008 You can't go wrong for lunch downtown at old reliable Mae Phim (1st & Columbia). All dishes are $6.00, and the staff are great, with many longtime customers. It can be crowded, but the line moves fast, and i've never waited more than 10 minutes for a table. Posted by CindyW 10:08 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Hands down, the best Thai I've EVER had is the Noodle Boat on Gilman in Issaquah. I took a visiting friend there once, and she said it was the most authentic panang curry she's had outside of Thailand. The curries are made from scratch, the food is incredible, and the owners super friendly. We don't live in Issaquah, but we make the 30 minute trek from our house at least once a month. http://noodleboat.com/ Posted by Funyuns 10:15 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Thai Recipe off Rainier on McClellan. Don't let the location sour you – it is behind a Schuck's – the food is excellent. I'm already planning lunch… Posted by SeattleAl 10:16 AM, Aug 01, 2008 I will have to give Thai Tom a try, but I usually eat at Thai 65 on the Ave at least once a week. If you sit at the counter, you can watch them cook, but you can also watch them through the window facing the street. The kitchen is in full display to the sidewalk, making it pretty much irresistable. Posted by Kevin Hawkins 10:18 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Sawatdy Thai Cuisine on Bainbridge may be one of the best Thai restaurants in the U.S. I say this after having Thai food in almost every major city in the US (I've clocked over 350,000 air miles), and I have eaten at Sawatdy since 1996. On Bainbridge we are spoiled: 23,000 people and three Thai restaurants: Bainbridge Thai, just a short walk from the ferry terminal in downtown Winslow on the water with a spectacular view of the marina, Sawan Thai Kitchen in historic Lynwood Center, which is a spin-off of Sawatdy, near Fletcher Bay and worth the 2 mile drive from the ferry to partake in the best Tom Kam Gai and the house special not on the menu — Mom's salad. See sawatdythai.com, 8780 Fletcher Bay Rd NE, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110, (206) 780-2429 Posted by Andrew 10:18 AM, Aug 01, 2008 a hidden secret that I don't know if I want to share. Vien Thong which is located on McClellan and MLK way across the street from the shell station near Franklin High School in Seattle. You have to pay cash but it's my favorite Thai restaurant in town. Posted by Jen the hen 10:35 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Noodle Boat in Issaquah has impossibly delicious thai food. As CindyW said, it's well worth the drive. The restaurant is hidden away at the far end of a forgettable strip mall, but once you find it, you are in for a treat. The Mieng Kum is a wonderful appetizer – you roll your own mini thai-style dolmades. The eggplant delight is to die for, and they have the most interesting, nutty-flavored dark brown rice. Don't miss the Noodle Boat! Posted by Darby 10:45 AM, Aug 01, 2008 You do have the perfect job, don't you? 🙂 Thai Tom is the place my friend from Utah drives all the way to Seattle for. His visit with us is secondary. 🙂 However, it's NOT recommended on any day over 90 degrees – it's about 120 inside the joint. Posted by sharkyaz 10:54 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Rice and Spice, a Thai restaurant two blocks away from Key Arena in lower Queen Anne, has my most favorite Phad Thai. I've been to seven or eight different Thai places, and no one's Phad Thai even comes close. I always get the beef Phad Thai. Posted by Ross Fernandez 10:56 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Ok, Seriously, You don't have Tawon Thai in Fremont on this list? I'll take you there myself! It has to be THE Best Thai Food in Seattle, trust me, I've been to Thailand and travel the West Coast, there isn't a restaurant in anywhere with better flavor. Let me know, anytime you like I will personally dine with you.

Sai Mai. The food is so delicious, the service is stellar AND the inside is so beautifully decorated. Quite a nice dining experience. http://www.saimairestaurant.com/ Kerri Kirshner Bothell local www.AcclaimedPhoto.com Posted by livetorideridetoeat 11:20 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Thai Corner on the corner of 1st av. s & 148th in Burien. Looks like an old ihop but the Forest Curry & Phad Thai Are GREAT!!! Posted by rindyrick 11:25 AM, Aug 01, 2008 I really like Jamjuree on 15th Avenue on Capitol Hill. The service is quite good and the noodle dishes are delicious. The phad thai is not at all greasy, like some, and has a wonderful lightness to it. The soup is also quite good. Posted by JF 11:27 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Thai Kitchen at the top of Queen Anne has the absolute best Thai food in Seattle. Be sure to get the crispy duck, the sauce is incredible. Posted by L 11:28 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Mae Phim on 1st and Columbia downtown is the best in the downtown financial district. My favorites in lower Queen Anne are Tip Tum Thai and Racha, and on the top of Queen Anne Orappin is delish – their cashew chicken is to die for! Posted by 84Hawk 11:28 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Krittika – small little joint around Greenlake is by far the best Thai food around. Been to a lot of places, including May in Wallingford, and still think Krittika is the best spot. Their Pad Thai and Spicy Noodle is amazing! Go there for lunch, they have great deals. It's on Latona and 65th St. More specifically, 6411 Latona Ave NE /Seattle, WA 98115. Posted by Karen 11:34 AM, Aug 01, 2008 Mali Thai in Southcenter — excellent phad thai! Posted by bleacher bum 11:49 AM, Aug 01, 2008 jamjuree on capitol hill. Posted by Jenna 11:51 AM, Aug 01, 2008 THAI 65 4214 University Way NE Seattle 98105 My girlfriends and I MUST HAVE Thai 65 at least once a week. Delicious Thai food, great prices (especially for poor college students!), and the fastest service you will ever receive at a Thai restaurant. LOVE LOVE LOVE THAI 65!! Posted by M 12:07 PM, Aug 01, 2008 How did you miss Tup Tim Thai? That itself is a travesty. Posted by Claystation 12:07 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Thyphoon! Best I've ever had! Posted by KDub 12:10 PM, Aug 01, 2008 When I'm not in Bangkok….Talai Thai in Lynnwood!!! Posted by chemparrot 12:12 PM, Aug 01, 2008 There is a restaurant called Thai Bistro tucked into the new strip mall at 180th and Aurora, across the street from the Fred Meyer. we recently tried the curried lamb chops, and found the dish unusual and delicious. We also enjoy Chaiyo, on 15th and 117th, a little north of Northgate. Especially their phad tew lord (wide rice noodles with ground pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts). Posted by Courtney 12:22 PM, Aug 01, 2008 I love Racha on QA….or if you are on the Eastside, Thai Kitchen in Bellevue is the bomb and their Phad Thai is nice and spicey! A lot of places don't do spice that well…….. Posted by theOracle 12:35 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Thai Corner (for Thai food) in Burien and Viengthong located 2820 MLK Jr Way S (Laos and Thai food) are the best in my opinion. I have gone to many, many Thai restaurant here in Seattle and most of them are just "OK". Posted by Susan 12:38 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Thai of Wedgwood. Great Panang Curry and Phad Thai, plus they deliver!! Posted by pokerface 12:50 PM, Aug 01, 2008 downtown edmonds by the antique mall, by far the best and have been there my whole life. yummy! Posted by Seahawks2008 12:54 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Noppakao in Juanita is EXCELLENT. Great pineapple fried rice, all the curries are good, and a perfect Beef Salad for the summer time. Always busy, so we always get take out. Website: http://www.hellothaifood.com/nopindex.html Posted by Laura L 12:56 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Thai-ger Room in the U-District 4228 University Way NE, Seatle, WA – (206) 632-9299 Is the best Thai I've ever had. We don't live in the U-District anymore, but sometimes I just have to have it, and we will make the trip. I've never had anything bad there, but their Garlic Pepper with Chicken and their curries (all of them, but especially the red) are amazing. Posted by Nancy 12:56 PM, Aug 01, 2008 A fabulous little Thai place opened in Mountlake Terrace called Thai Amorn. I know it isn't a sexy town, but for people in this area, it is a great find. The owners are warm and friendly and the food is terrific. I have been in there about a dozen times and each time I hear other diners talking about how delicious their selection is. If you are anywhere in the area, you should go out of your way to stop by here. Posted by charlie Klennert 12:57 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Koong Thong in Auburn! Posted by Kyle 1:00 PM, Aug 01, 2008 I agree with you that May Thai on 45th is delicious! I enjoyed your commentary in today's Seattle Times! Kyle http://culinarykyle.blogspot.com/ Posted by S.R. 1:02 PM, Aug 01, 2008 I'm a fan of Bai Tong. Fast and friendly service. My favorite is Panang curry and crispy garlic chicken. Just love it!! Posted by Alan 1:06 PM, Aug 01, 2008 The Taste of Thai, on Evergreen in Everett. Posted by V3RN3R 1:10 PM, Aug 01, 2008 The Noodleboat is Issaquah is by far the most delicious Thai cuisine that I have ever experienced ouside of Thailand – hands down, feet up! Not only is the food tantalizing to your tastebuds, but the people (family) who work there are very " jai dee" such wonderful and unique individuals. I have ate there over a thousand times and the food is truly remarkable every time. Posted by Bob 1:15 PM, Aug 01, 2008 When not in Thailand, I think that currently the best Thai food in town is Thai Bistro in Shoreline (18336 Aurora Ave. N.). The duck dishes are especially good. Posted by jeowens 1:20 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Noppakao is my FAVORITE Thai "in these here parts". It can be found in Kirkland or online at http://www.hellothaifood.com/nopindex.html Posted by Thailover 1:38 PM, Aug 01, 2008 I live in the Mill Creek area and a great Thai place opened there recently. It is called Andaman Thai and we have not tried anything there that is not delicious. It is on the corner of 132nd St and Seattle Hill Road. It's open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. Small place but great décor. If you're ever in the area give it a try! Posted by KD 1:40 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Mali Thai in Southcenter (it's near Best Buy). I've eaten thai all over town, but Mali Thai is really hard to beat. Mostly conventional thai dishes, but very well done. I have two favorite dishes there- first is the Red curry. Best I've ever eaten. Second, Ask for the Coconut fried rice with prawns (it's not on the menu). It's not to be missed!! YUM! Posted by Dawn 1:50 PM, Aug 01, 2008 The best Thai food and friendliest service is at: Saya Restaurant 8455 S 212th St Kent, WA 98031 Once you have been you won't forget the food and the owners will not forget you! Go you will LOVE it! Posted by Chad Johnson 1:51 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Djan's. Period. Pen down, end of story. Posted by rakahanthai 1:53 PM, Aug 01, 2008 I have been back and forth from Thailand for the last 9 years. By far the best Thai restuarant in Seattle for the price, quality of food, and friendly service is Chaiyo on 15th and 117St (just north of Northgate). All their food is great but the Combination Fried Rice can not be beat! (It's the only dish I miss from America when I am in Thailand.) I took 2 friends of mine who live on Capital Hill and go out to eat Thai food 3 to 4 times per week. They told me it was the best Thai food they had ever had! Posted by Michael Heinrich 1:56 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Chantanee in Bellevue is by far one of the WORST Thai restaurants in the area. The quality of their food is mediocre at best, but more along the lines of American/Thai. Expect prices to soar at the new location – with no parking, I might add. If you want real authentic Thai food, try Racha Thai near Queen Anne, Thai Tom in Seattle, or Typhoon in Redmond. Posted by Keith 2:00 PM, Aug 01, 2008 I agree with Nancy. Thai Amorn in Mountlake terrace is a great find. This family owned and operated restaurant is a special place, not just for the food, although it is very good, but the home-cooked atmosphere makes you feel like you are at a friend's home. Posted by David 2:00 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Surprised that no one has mentioned Thai Ocean off Ravenna in Green Lake. Been going there for over 15 years. The owner (Jitlana – sp?) is almost always there and does a lot of the cooking herself. One of the few Thai restaurants in the area that uses authentic herbs and spices. All dishes have lots of vegetables. Garlic Prawns and Choo Chee Pla (pomfret in curry sauce) are exceptional. Posted by Tim Hart 2:05 PM, Aug 01, 2008 I agree with the earlier poster, Sai Mai in Bothell is one of the best. I love to take people there and surprise them with how good this place is. Posted by D 2:28 PM, Aug 01, 2008 This isn't even close … look at Andrew's post … I would normally want to keep it a secret too, but they deserve the business … If you disagree, you know nothing about Thai / Lao food … Suckers! Posted by Jenna 3:03 PM, Aug 01, 2008 TOI on 4th. Its FABULOUS!!!! And their happy hour rocks!! Posted by Nancy O. 3:07 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Try Thai Thai in the White Center area. I believe it's on 15th Ave SW.It's across from Papa Murphy's in a purple building-hard to miss.It's yummy,you get a lot of food and I love their spring rolls.It's a neighborhood secret! Posted by Carla 3:19 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Wow, so many great Thai Restaurants, SO LITTLE TIME! 🙂 If you're in Greenwood check out "Phad Thai". It's a simple place, great food, good prices. The restaurant was my introduction to Thai food in Seattle, so it keeps it's place in my heart. But there are about 15 places, named in other posts here, that I've gone to and *loved* as well. Something about Thai food and the people who cook it here. Start with great ingredients and recipes and add the love and care of the chefs, and it's all good! I still haven't been to May yet, but it's on my list of "Must Eat There" Posted by CindyW 3:29 PM, Aug 01, 2008 LOLing. Nancy, is this the most responses to a blog post you've gotten so far? Posted by Rush_is_a_band 3:48 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Chaiyo for sure!! Try their whole fried trout in a red spicy curry sauce… amazing! Near northgate along 15th as others have mentioned. Golden Singha in belltown is also a must. Used to go there often when I first moved here! The swanky looking thai place on main street in bothell is very good also, but VERY expensive.. we left with a $50 tab.. no alcohol. Very tasty but too pricy if you ask me. Posted by Nancy 4:38 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Hi Nancy, I've eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants but always come back to Marlai in Laurelhurst. Their Pad Thai is unlike no other – no ketchup flavored noodles here! Their curries are smooth and full of flavor and the orange beef and garlic pork are tender and spicey without being over powering. Their dishes are prepared consistently and the service is friendly and courteous. We moved from NE Seattle to Bothell recently and have tried Penn Thai and found it to be just a notch below Marlai (not consistently good and too greasy) so we often drive back to our old haunt. Nancy Bothell, WA Posted by JOE 4:46 PM, Aug 01, 2008 J A M J U R E E J A M J U R E E J A M J U R E E J A M J U R E E Posted by Nicole 4:53 PM, Aug 01, 2008 I love Tewada Thai in the Winter Garden at Bellevue Place. Their food is fresh and made to order. No overcooked meat or veggies here! They know the difference between mild and hot. No confusing the two. So if you like mild and your friend likes hot, you can get it! I guess that they also deliver, although I'm not sure how far. http://www.tewadathai.com/ Posted by Vicki near the Locks 4:58 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Thai Cafe in Ballard – I'm ambivalent to give them away … but they are sweet people who serve delicious Thai food … so they deserve the kudos! Posted by Patty & Jon 6:11 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Tup Tim Thai on Mercer has been our neighborhood favorite for years. And we're not the only ones: The place is full of regulars, and every week we run into QA "expats" who consider TTT a required stop on the way to or from the airport. The hosts are as warm as the food. What's not to like? Chicken phad thai, fresh spring rolls, divine swimming rama and mu phad woon sen — just a few of our "comfort foods." Posted by jorge verde 6:25 PM, Aug 01, 2008 My hand's down favorite Thai restaurant is Racha on Queen Anne. Fantastic food, friendly, competent, Thai staff and large windows for people-watching on the street Posted by Buddy 6:40 PM, Aug 01, 2008 During our eight years living in Fremont (aka "Thai Town") we tried every place several times – with the exception of Kaosamai! One time there and we knew we couldn't return – bland, poorly cooked, limp food. We joked that the restaurant must be run by the "Thai Mafia," since it is enormous, yet always empty. When listing great Thai in Seattle, I can't believe no one has mentioned Kwanjai in Fremont. That was our go-to place for years (with the exception of the soups at Jai Thai — sometimes we would split our takeout order between the restaurants), and it was the place in Fremont where you were most likely to see actual Thai people eating. We moved to Mad Valley from Fremont and the only thing we long for is good Thai. There isn't any good Thai from Madison Park through the Central District — we end up at Jamjuree, which we like though we have yet to convince them that when we say three star, we mean three star! Posted by bakjd 10:21 PM, Aug 01, 2008 Racha Thai in Woodinville is excellent and is a great bargain at lunch. It is a sister restaurant to the Racha in Queen Anne. http://www.rachathai.com/ At lunch, you can get a great meal with soup and desert for about $7. And the atmosphere is very nice and relaxing, despite is strip mall location behind a Taco Bell. Posted by Jen 7:58 AM, Aug 02, 2008 Thaiku in Ballard is my fave! The sohm tahm (shredded green papaya salad) is so fresh and delicious. Number 31 is my favorite dish at Thaiku. It has spicy ground chicken and Thai sweet basil with rice and a fried egg on top. *drool* www.thaiku.com Posted by Kat 9:00 AM, Aug 02, 2008 I cannot believe that no one has mentioned Siam on Broadway. It's reliably great, and the lunch menu is a bargain Posted by Bob Parker 9:57 AM, Aug 02, 2008 We have been Thai followers and would like to add Bahn Thai which is a short walk from Seattle Center and our newest favorite Phayathai Cuisine on Lake City Way about 90th street.
