When I write commentary reviews, one of my main goals is to assess how well the commentator hit the intended audience of the commentary and utilized the format of the commentary. This often necessitates cluttering up the post discussing issues of format. To eliminate that, I thought that I would make some general remarks about the format and audience of each of the series that appear in my reviews. Terms like liberal, conservative, etc. are not used pejoratively but simply as descriptors. Many of you are familiar with Jeremy Pierce's commentary series overview. If you don't see a particular series covered here, check out his post to see if it's reviewed there. I am making no attempt at covering every series, just the series that I use. Additionally, new series (such as the NCCS) have been started in the five years since he wrote his very helpful guide, so I thought that it might not be completely out of order to have another person tackle commentary series overviews. This is a post that will be expanded regularly and I will post a link to it at the top of all of my commentary reviews, that way you can check it out if you're not familiar with the series a particular commentary is in. I'll also place links within this post to the commentaries in each series that I've reviewed, making it a good place for easy reference for all of my reviews.
AB: The Anchor Bible series is a leading academic commentary series. Most of the contributors could be labeled as moderates, with quite a few volumes have been written by Catholic scholars. This series has been in progress for a long time and thus is probably the most uneven series on the market. The newer volumes are always among the top on their given book. Most of the older volumes have been surpassed by newer volumes in other series. However, some of the older volumes are classics and are still must reads. Not only is the quality of the series uneven, but the feel and focus of commentary varies from volume to volume. Some focus more on rhetoric, others on historical matters, and some on literary criticism. A lot of leeway is given to each individual writer. The commentary begins with lengthy introduction dealing with the full assortment of background issues in good detail. The main body of the commentary proceeds as follows: the author's translation of the text, followed by a notes section and a comment section (though sometimes the comments precede the notes). The notes section goes through the text verse phrase by phrase in a detailed manner. The comment section can be anything that the author wants to make it and varies greatly. (See my reviews of Song of Songs, Galatians, and Jude)
ACCS: The ACCS series seeks to introduce the modern reader to Patristic theologians. Brief explanations of the text proceed phrase by phrase (rather than verse by verse) with selections made from sermons, commentaries, and other written sources. Typically, the comments will be drawn from about eight or so different fathers, with comments here and there by other voices when they have a significant insight. The main contributors are selected to try to be representative of the breadth of the era, selecting both Greek and Latin fathers. It certainly shouldn't be the first commentary off the shelf when researching a given passage, but it's too easy to overlook the early insights that Patristic theologians had. It's definitely a series worth consulting. (See my review of Galatians)
AOTC: The Apollos Old Testament Commentary series is a mid-length commentary series aimed at pastors, leaning a little more on the academic side. It's like a more accessible version of the Word Biblical Commentary series. Not too many volumes are out yet so we will see how this series develops and if that generalization remains true. You get a full length introduction that deals with all of the critical issues. Each contributor provides their own translation and provides substantial annotations dealing with text-critical and translation issues. Hebrew and Aramaic are transliterated making these notes more accessible than the equivalent notes in the Word Biblical Commentary series. After those notes you get sections discussing the form, setting, and structure of the text. Here relevant background matters as well as the literary form and structure are discussed, though not to quite the same length as you get in the Word series (at least in the better volumes). After that is a 'Comment' section which is critical assessment of the meaning of the text. It's followed by an explanation section which exposits the text a bit and deals with matters of theology. (See my review of Daniel)
BECNT: The Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament is an advanced commentary series that is aimed at the pastor and graduate student. Thus most volumes are not quite as advanced or thorough as you would find in the WBC series (though some are) but a working knowledge of Greek would benefit you. This is a little bit of a difficult series to describe because the format has not been entirely consistent from volume to volume. However, I can make some general comments. The introductions are of fairly typical length and cover your usual topics. There's nothing unique there. The format of the commentary proper is a bit different, though. Each section begins with a one to three paragraph long summary of the text followed by the author's translation and then exegetical notes. Strangely the notes do not proceed verse by verse but paragraph by paragraph. Since the notes are detailed, the number of pages between headings is far too many making it maddeningly difficult at times to find what you're looking for when cracking the commentary open for quick reference (this is not a problem in the volumes on Luke but it seems to be for the rest of the volumes). Following the exegetical notes are 'Additional Notes' covering text critical matters. My personal opinion of this series varies by volume. Some are fantastic, and some are just ok. (See my review Jude)
BMT: The Bible in Medieval Tradition is a brand new series that meets a serious lacuna in the commentary market, that of Medieval Catholic commentaries. As of the writing of these notes, the only volume out thus far is on Galatians and it is excellent. My complaint with the ACCS series is that the selections are sometimes too brief to get a true feel for a particular father. That's not the case with the BMT. It translates (in Galatians for the first time) either whole commentaries or commentaries on whole chapters. In the Galatians volume six different commentators were selected. The introduction is thorough and provides a nice biography of each contributor so you can place the work in the context of their life and Medieval Catholicism. I think that this is a very important series and I'm very excited to see future volumes. (See my review of Galatians)
BNTC: The Black's New Testament Commentary series is a mid length commentary aimed at students and pastors. Each commentary has a brief introduction and then proceeds section by section. Translations are the authors.' Comments proceed verse by verse and comments on variant readings and grammatical issues are usually relegated to the footnotes. All important interpretive issues are discussed in some detail, but not quite to the same level as some of the more rigorous mid level series like the PNTC or NICNT. The pages are small for a commentary so don't let the page count fool you. Most of the contributors are mainline protestants and overall it seems to be a pretty moderate series. The series took a long time to complete, so some of the earlier volumes, while good are a bit dated. Most of the newer volumes are very solid entries with some being among the top two or three on their book. It's a series that is definitely worth checking out! (See my review of Galatians)
Song of Songs)
CCC: The Crossway Classic Commentaries series consists of classic commentaries written by luminaries within the Protestant tradition such as Martin Luther or Charles Hodge. No effort was made to cover every book and some books were covered twice. They simply wanted the best of the Lutheran and Puritan tradition. These are some of the finest commentaries of their era, but at times will feel much more preachy than modern commentaries. Each volume will vary some and will take on the characteristics of the era in which it was produced (there's a few centuries in between, e.g., Luther and Ryle). If you have the time, it's worth checking out. (See my review of Galatians)
Hermeneia: The Hermeneia commentary series is one of the leading academic series on the market. It covers both the Old and New Testament and has contributors from a variety of backgrounds, though they are generally liberal. Hermeneia also contains translations of several works by continental European scholars. The strength of these commentaries often is their introductions (e.g., the introductions in the Romans and Daniel commentaries are unparalleled). This isn't surprising given their focus on historical and critical matters. The commentary proper begins with a translation of the text that is footnoted to deal with text critical issues. Then it moves to a discussion of the form and structure of the text, usually comparing the text at hand to various parallel texts and also dealing with background issues. The verse by verse notes offer detailed exegesis. Seminary students and scholars are the primary audience of this series. The value to the pastor varies book by book. Some are very helpful but some can probably be skipped. (See my reviews of Song of Songs and Daniel)
INT: The Interpretation series is directly aimed at helping preachers and teachers preach and teach. Explanations are tackled one paragraph at a time in a running exposition. At the end of each section the authors engage in a discussion of how to preach or teach the given text (or alternatively, pitfalls to avoid). These volumes don't typically forge new trails of cutting edge scholarship (though, some like 1 Corinthians by Hays are an exception), but they definitely are useful to their intended audience when paired with more detailed commentaries. Most of the volumes are pretty good and consistent, but there are a few week entries. Unfortunately some volumes are getting long in the tooth and it may be time for the publisher to consider replacing them. The biggest downside of the series are the God-awful dust jackets. This series has a very strong moderate Mainline Protestant feel. (See my review of Galatians)
NAC: The New American Commentary series is published by Broadman & Holman and thus as one would expect has a distinctively conservative baptist feel. These are fairly typical mid length commentaries geared towards pastors and studious members of the laity. The introductions are fairly meaty and often deal with difficult historical questions. The NIV is the standard translation and comments are based on that. The commentary goes verse by verse providing substantial exegetical help and interacting with a variety of viewpoints, but never getting too technical. (See my review of Daniel)
NCCS: When it came to commentaries, I used to think that length was a virtue. Over the past couple of years I've been changing my mind as I've both encountered some long commentaries that I didn't care for, and encountered many brief commentaries that are top notch. Shorter commentaries tend to be clear and concise, and not bogging you down with too many alternative viewpoints. A good one will do that without being superficial. The New Covenant Commentary Series (NCCS ) seems to seek to be the standard bearer for this style of commentaries on the New Testament. The two series editors, Michael Bird and Craig Keener have assembled an international collection of scholars that are top notch. The commentary usually will have a medium length introduction followed by the commentary proper. There you get the author's translation followed by a short section giving an overview of the section that will come under discussion, after which the text is discussed by paragraph in the form of a running explanation rather than verse by verse. Technical matters are relegated to footnotes. Each volume also has several excurses dealing with background issues in greater depth. Additionally there are several sections titled 'Fusing the Horizons' sprinkled throughout. Here the commentator show the relevance of the ancient text to our current situation. This series is aimed at pastors and serious lay students. (See my reviews of Romans and Colossians and Philemon)
NIB: The New Interpreter's Bible Commentaries seek to provide pastors and students with a brief commentary by leading moderate Mainline Protestant scholars. The introductions are exceedingly brief and the comments proceed verse by verse. The goal of the commentary is to lay out the author's view and not clutter you with a myriad of interpretive options. Interaction with other scholars is limited to a few leading commentaries which makes the commentary very accessible and easy to read. These factors make this series a nice option for busy pastors or undergraduate students, however it simply can't substitute for more substantial works. Unfortunately, volumes aren't sold separately, but fortunately, the contributors are top notch, so it's one of the few series that isn't too bad to purchase in bulk. (See my review of Galatians)
Song of Songs)
NIVAC: The NIV Application Commentary series is written by Evangelical scholars with the layperson and the pastor in mind. The introductions are generally brief covering the basics. The text used in the commentary is, of course, the NIV and comments are made based on that translation. Discussion is broken up into three sections: 'original meaning,' 'bridging contexts,' and 'contemporary significance.' In the 'original meaning' section, you get a fairly brief discussion of the original meaning of the text (though some volumes in this series are a bit more detailed). Ideally the 'bridging contexts' portion of the commentary should help prepare the way for the 'contemporary significance' section by dealing with issues related to the cultural location of the text. The 'contemporary significance' section guides the reader in application of the text. I used words like 'ideally' and 'should' because sometimes it seems as if the writers in this series don't stick to the layout and talk about whatever they feel like in each section. Unfortunately, when authors do that, a lot of the utility of the series is lost. Overall I feel this series is a bit uneven, but the better volumes are worth owning for anyone who teaches in a church setting. (See my reviews of Daniel, Galatians,and Philemon)
Song of Songs, Galatians, and Philippians and Philemon)
PC: I can't provide a lot of comment on the Pentecostal Commentary series in general. At the time of writing there were four volumes on the market and only one (Fee's on Galatians) that I've ever even seen in a library, so I'm not sure if the series will get wide circulation or not. As you might guess from the title of the series, it is geared towards Pentecostal Christians and hence is probably conservative on the whole. The Pentecostalism doesn't come through very strongly in Fee's commentary for the most part. It's only in the application portions where Fee opts to address his fellow Pentecostal's directly. Fee's volume is a solid mid length commentary that comments on the text paragraph by paragraph, probably most comparable to the NCCS volumes. As for the series as a whole I can't comment or make a recommendation as I'm not familiar enough with the other scholars who have written in the series. (See my review of Galatians)
PNTC: The Pillar New Testament Commentary series is an intermediate series covering the New Testament and comes from an evangelical perspective. Most of the volumes in this series fall in the more academic half, similar to what you would get in an NICNT. A few of the older volumes are less detailed. The introductions typically are lengthy and deal with all of the standard critical issues as well as some theological matters. In the commentary proper the NIV text is printed and comments proceed verse by verse. Before the verse by verse notes is a section that summarizes the paragraph as a whole and sometimes focuses on structural and rhetorical issues. The notes on individual verses are detailed and usually there is a fair amount of footnoting to deal with matters of Greek grammar, where the author has his choice of using Greek font or transliterating. More space is given to theological issues in this series than many, making that one of its strengths. All of the volumes in this series that I have looked at have been good and some of them are among the two or three best on their book. Whether you are writing an academic paper, preparing a bible study or sermon, or studying for your own enrichment you would be wise to check out the PNTC series. (See my reviews of Philemon and Jude)
THNTC/THOTC: The goal of the Two Horizon's commentary series is to help the student of the Bible fuse the horizons between the biblical world and their own. The commentary proper and introductions probably fall into the middle range in terms of accessibility, however much more attention is paid to theology than one would typically get in a standard commentary. Their goal is to produce a robust theological interpretation of Scripture, and it seems that most of the volumes come from a theologically moderate perspective. Technical matters get a little less attention than in most mid-level commentaries, but there are plenty of other series that cover those matters. After the main body of the commentary you get a plethora of essays dealing with theological matters that arise throughout the commentary. These offer an opportunity for greater synthesis than you typically get in an excursus in a typical commentary. Unfortunately, by being relegated to the back of the commentary, they may go unnoticed by some. This series is most helpful to a pastor or teacher going through a whole book. (See my reviews of Philemon and Jude)
TNTC/TOTC: The Tyndale series is a conservative Evangelical series, but beyond that it's little tough to classify. Many of the volume are more technical in their discussions than one would typically find in a commentary geared towards lay people. But most of the volumes also aren't detailed enough to be a true mid-level commentary. The introductions succinctly cover critical issues and the commentary proper proceeds paragraph by paragraph through the text. This series has been around for a while so some of the volumes are a bit dated. Some of them are really excellent, however, and cannot be ignored. (See my review of Philemon)
WBC: The Word Biblical Commentary is a critical, broadly Evangelical commentary series covering both the Old and New Testament. The format of the series is widely panned, but I personally don't think it's so terrible. The introductions are usually moderately lengthy, though they don't usually compete with what you get in Hermeneia or the ICC. In the main body of the commentary, commentators provide their own translation with notes dealing with text critical issues as necessary, after which the comments are split into three sections, 'Form/Setting/Structure,' 'Comments,' and 'Explanation.' The 'form/setting/structure' section deals with background and parallels as well as a discussion of literary form and structure as well as rhetorical analysis if the author is so inclined. The 'Comments' section deals with the text phrase by phrase commenting on the original language. Theology and contemporary significance tend to be dealt with in the 'Explanation.' This division frustrates some people because they have to look in up to three different spots to find comments on a particular phrase or verse. I think, however, that if you read the commentary straight through (which I know most people don't) that there is some merit in this distinction, especially since it makes it easy for one to consult the commentary at each phase of research into the passage. The biggest problems with this series is the unevenness of it. Some volumes are fantastic while others are very mediocre. There's also a big difference in the degree to which each section is utilized by the commentators. For example, some almost ignore the 'Explanation' section. Additionally, some of the commentaries in the series have been surpassed by newer works in other series. While the WBC is certainly intended for academics, pastors would be wise to pick up some of the stronger volumes (it's intended for them too!), as it is probably the most accessible and inexpensive truly academic series. (See my reviews of Song of Songs, Daniel, Galatians, Philemon and Jude)
Song of Songs)
ZECNT: The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament is one of the newest commentary series on the market. At the time of writing only four volumes are out and I've only seen Blomberg on James. The series is aimed at pastors and students who have had two years of Greek, though one could work their way through the commentary with less exposure, but it would be difficult. I would probably put it at the bottom of the advanced range due to the use of the original Greek and the lack of transliteration, though some intermediate series will have more detail overall (e.g., the NICNT). The format of the commentary is unique and I think immensely helpful. There is a brief introduction followed by the commentary proper. Each section of text is split into six parts. The first section is the 'Literary Context' which seeks to situate the passage within the larger flow of the book. The second section is a two sentence summary called the 'Main Idea.' This is followed by a translation of the text in diagram form. The diagram seeks to show the relationship between clauses. On the left side of the diagram is a one word description of the function of each clause. Following the translation is an explanation of the 'Structure' which, as expected, deals with matters of structure and rhetoric. Finally we arrive at the 'Explanation of Text' which contains the typical exegetical notes one expects in a commentary and they proceed verse by verse. The last section is 'Theology in Application' which provides some direction for thinking about how to apply the text. The discussion here is at the paragraph level. After the close of the commentary there is a short section on the theology of the book. Major topics are given a page or two, where the author can do some synthesis. The layout is very clean, using line breaks and different font sizes and faces well which makes the format work exceptionally with the end result of an exceedingly clear presentation of the contents of the commentary. If you're a pastor and you haven't picked up a volume in this series yet, try it, you'll love it! (See my reviews of Galatians and James)

|I am sharing my favorite photo of Lucas so far in his young life. This was captured by his Nana Donna.
"With what pleasure do we look upon a family, through the whole of which reign mutual love and esteem, where the parents and children are companions for one another, without any other difference than what is made by respectful affection on the one side, and kind indulgence on the other." ~Adam Smith
I have always cherished our family. We are, at times, loud, overwhelming, silly, and maybe just a little crazy. But, we are still a family who cherishes one another, cherishes our shared experiences, and celebrates together. Celebrating a new baby isn't something we've done in several years and I am enjoying it so much as we continue to embrace baby Lucas.
On Thursday evening, I visited Amanda, Steve and Lucas. When I arrived at their house, my brother Johnny (Grandpa) and his wife Donna (Nana) were there visiting. It was a nice opportunity to visit with them and see them as grandparents. My brother has always been demonstrative in the love he shows his wife and kids and that is no different in the way he is treating his first grandson. I think that's why I chose the photo above as my favorite. (Plus, all my photos have Lucas's eyes closed and I wanted one with his eyes bright and open which they often are.) I so love seeing Lucas's bright little eyes looking at his Grandpa - as if he's already listening to his Grandpa's stories...taking in his wisdom.
My sister Susie is in Florida visiting mom and dad so we thought with her tech tools on that end and mine on this end we could probably pull off a quick Skype visit so Great Grandma and Great Grandpa could see their new Great Grandson in 3D. The visit was a sweet moment to share with all of them. Lucas was still awake so Great Grandma and Great Grandpa got to see those beautiful, alert eyes.
I had brought dinner for the kids, so I held little Lucas while he fell asleep in my arms and the kids got some dinner together. It was so sweet to see Amanda and Steve go through the routine of making a meal - something they do so comfortably and easily together. You can tell it's a ritual they do often. So sweet to see them play with "the girls" - their beautiful dogs Maggie and Reagan. And so sweet to see them already settling into the role of parents so comfortably.
I will continue to cherish every moment we all share together, but especially stay focused on how much more special those moments are with Lucas in our family.

Hi Wolfie,
I don't know what the chances are of having "D" all the time after surgery. Have you asked your doctor? My daughter had surgery that seems similar to what you are thinking of having almost 4 years ago, and, if I remember correctly, her bowel activity returned to normal after a few weeks. But everyone is different and one person's experience may be different than another person's.
You said you are thinking of having the surgery. Why are you thinking of having it? What would your situation be if you have surgery and if you don't have surgery.


text: I am having a problem with Outlook Express closing as soon as it opens up. About 3 weeks ago I deleted Microsoft Outlook from my computer (not Outlook Express). After I deleted it I found that I could not check my e-mail from within Internet Explorer. I could not assign Outlook Express as my e-mail program (Tools - Options - Programs - E-Mail). Outlook Express was not an option. I could still use the desktop icon to check my e-mail. Now I can't check my e-mail at all. When I open Outlook Express it starts up like it used to do, but when the program opens completely it immediately shuts down and does not check my e-mail. This happened all of a sudden and without warning. I thought it might be a virus, but I've run AVG virus scan and Norton Anti-Virus without a virus being detected. Virus pattern files are up to date. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do?


text: At 6:11 a.m. EST, UPS Flight 1354 from Louisville, KY to Birmingham, AL, an A300 with two crewmembers, was involved in an accident on approach into the Birmingham airport. At this time, we have not confirmed the status of our pilots. "This incident is very unfortunate, and our thoughts and prayers are with those involved," said UPS Airlines President Mitch Nichols. "We place the utmost value on the safety of our employees, our customers and the public. We will immediately engage with the National Transportation Safety Board's investigation, and we will work exhaustively on response efforts," continued Nichols. UPS will release more facts about this accident as they become available, but the NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will be the primary source of information going forward. To keep you informed of developments, UPS has established a media information hotline: (502) 329-0110. A recorded message will provide updates as this situation unfolds; the system will also allow reporters to leave messages.

Happy Friday!
I took a big step. I signed up for a local half marathon at the end of March. That's a solid four months away. I can do this. Maybe. I need these months to get back into running, and a race is the PERFECT motivator. The last half I did was in April 2013. Wow, two years flew by! This will be my first race post pregnancy and with baby Sage in our lives. Yay!
I'm not looking to be super fast (although that would be wonderful), I'm just looking to bring out the runner in me again. She's been hibernating for quite some time now and she's ready to see the world (well, road and treadmill) again.
Check out my very basic plan. It's meant to accommodate my life, which come the New Year will be very busy once I'm back working fulltime. Sometimes being busy makes training easier though because you get the run in at the only free chunk of time you have. Right? At this point I can't really predict when that will be, but for now I'm home on maternity leave so hopefully it will be a little easier. And I'm out of shape so it may be a bit painful at first.
|Click on it to view larger
Let's start with the short term goal of really starting running next week. I'm not going to do most of the runs in terms of miles, but minutes instead. I'm not sure if it will be treadmill or outdoors as I see snow in the forecast. I need to start small and progress slowly…
Have a fantastic weekend!
Are you up for training with me?! Any race plans in your future?

Language: Thee and Thou
This is not grammar you are taught in school, but simply the ordinary way people talk. Your excuse for incorrect usage cannot be that you were poorly educated.
"How art thou", never "how are thee"
What wouldst thou have of me?
I will go with thee.
Thou art a rogue.
When the next word begins with a vowel, use thine for thy:
I like thy face.
I applaud thine effort.
The "-st" ending is only used with "thou" and only with verbs.
I did see him go with thee.
not I didst see him
and never I didst see-eth him
Wither thou goest I will go.
The "-eth" ending is only used with he, she, and it.
He loveth best that loveth well.
God knoweth why!
Using Thou familiarly
Thou and thee are familiar or informal forms of you. You use it to address your children, your servants, your wife, your most intimate friends, your dog, and God. (Hey, who knows you better than God?)
Use the more formal you when addressing your parents, your master, your social superiors, your patron, your customers, your officers, and your horse, who may be worth as much as you are.
Don't panic: The familiar and formal forms (thou and you) get mixed in a sentence even in Shakespeare. But only downward or to an equal, never up.
That is, you might address your servant using both thou and you together, but he wouldn't do that to you. Anger and strong feeling, of course, cancel other conventions.
Still, his lordship may take offense if his tenant chats him up using "thou", or he may simply ignore it, but you never know!

text: I've been hinting what I wanted for our Anniversary, but I wasn't sure if he was paying much attention. Well, to my surprise he was and he picked out the right one - a black caviar medium classic double flap w/GH. He admitted that he had to print out a picture and showed it to the SA in the Chanel Boutique since he had no clue what the heck it was called. He didn't know how he can surprise me with it, so what he did was he yelled my name and said to come downstairs in hurry because something happened to our tree outside (we had a big storm last night), so here I came rushing and when I got out of our garage, my DH was on down on his one knee, holding a Chanel box and said, "Happy Anniversary, Honey"! You can just imagine how happy I was! Everyone here said that the Classic Double Flap is a MUST HAVE CHANEL....well, I couldn't agree more! This is my very first Chanel and I'm very happy with your suggestion. Thank you Tpfers! Here she is.....worn in three different ways. I'm 5'2".

In Into the Wild, what did Ronald Franz reveal about Chris McCandless's character?
- print Print
- list Cite
Chapter Six is the section of this novel that deals with the relationship between Franz and Chris McCandless. You would do well to re-read it and pay particular attention to how Ronald Franz's account adds to our understanding of Chris and what drove him. In particular, while Franz is obviously impressed by Chris's intelligence and ability to survive, it is also interesting to note the unresolved anger that is so much a big part of Chris's character. Note the following quote:
Not infrequently during their visits, Franz recalls, McCandless's face would darken with anger and he'd fulminate about his parents or politicians or the endemic idiocy of mainstream American life. Worried about alienating the boy, Franz said little during such outbursts and let him rant.
It is clear that so much of what drove Chris to do what he did was his very real sense of frustration and anger with his parents and American life as a whole. He chose to reject mainstream life largely because of this.
Another factor that is made explicit in this chapter is the way that Chris McCandless deliberately avoided any kind of relationship that would ensnare him and keep him back from doing what he wanted to do. Note the comment that Krakauer makes after Alex gives a non-commital response to Franz's offer to adopt Alex:
McCandless was thrilled to be on his way north, and he was relieved as well--relieved that he had again evaded the impending threat of human intimacy, of friendship, and all the messy emotional baggage that comes with it.
This is of course Krakauer's own opinion, but it clearly indicates the way in which Chris McCandless tried to keep himself aloof from human bonds and relationships. These are the two most important elements that we learn about Chris's character from his relationship with Ronald Franz.

Mr. LeMIEUX. Madam President, I rise to pay tribute to the body with which I have had the privilege of serving for the past 15 months. Being a U.S. Senator, representing 18 1/2 million Floridians, has been the privilege of my lifetime, and now that privilege is coming to an end. As I stand on the floor of the Senate to address my colleagues this one last time, I am both humbled and grateful, humbled by this tremendous institution, by its work, and by the statesmen I have had the opportunity to serve with, who I knew only from afar but now am grateful that I can call those same men and women my colleagues.
No endeavor worth doing is done alone. And my time here is no exception. In the past 16 months, I have asked the folks who worked with me to try to get 6 years of service out of that time, and they have worked tirelessly to achieve that goal.
My chief of staff Kerry Feehery, my deputy chief of staff Vivian Myrtetus, my State director Carlos Curbelo, Ben Moncrief, Michael Zehy, Ken Lundberg, Melissa Hernandez, Maureen Jaeger, Danielle Joos, Brian Walsh, Frank Walker, Spencer Wayne, Vennia Francois, Victor Cervino, Taylor Booth, and many, many others have made our time here worthwhile, and I thank all of them. I specially thank Vivian and Maureen who left their families and gave up precious time with their children to come to Washington to support me in these efforts.
I am also thankful to the people who work in our State office. Time and time again when I travel around Florida I am encountered by people who have received such a warm reception from the men and women who serve us in Florida and help people deal with problems with the Federal Government. I am grateful for their work.
Senator McConnell has provided me with opportunities beyond my expectations. He is a great leader, and I am grateful to him. Senators ALEXANDER, BURR, CORNYN, KYL, MCCAIN, CORKER, and many others have taken me under their wings and mentored me, and I am appreciative of them.
Chairmen ROCKEFELLER and LEVIN, we have had the opportunity to do great work together in your committees. I thank you for that. Senators CANTWELL, KLOBUCHAR, LANDRIEU, WHITEHOUSE, and BAUCUS, we have worked together in a commonsense way to pass legislation that is good for the American people, and I am appreciative of your efforts.
Senator Mel Martinez, who ably held the seat before me, has been generous in his advice and counsel. Senator Nelson and his wife Grace have been warm and welcomed Meike and I to Washington. I am thankful for your courtesy. I thank Governor Crist. He has afforded me tremendous opportunities for public service, and I am grateful.
I want to say a special thank you to my parents. My grandfather, in 1951, drove his 1949 Pontiac from Waterbury, CT, to Fort Lauderdale, FL, with his wife and five kids piled in the back. He didn't know anybody. He didn't have a job. But he went there to make a better life for his family. He worked in the trades, in construction. He built houses and he taught my father the same thing. And as my father worked in the hot Florida Sun, his ambition for his son was that he would one day get to work in air-conditioning. I have achieved that goal and so much more because of their sacrifice. Mom and Dad didn't go to college but they sent me to college and law school, and I will be forever grateful for what they have done for me.
My most heartfelt appreciation goes to my wife Meike. When I learned of this appointment, I met her at the door of our home in Tallahassee and she was crying. She was not just crying because she was happy; she was crying because she was worried. We at the time had three small sons--Max, Taylor and Chase, 6, 4, and 2. She knew something that others didn't know--that we were going to have another baby and that baby was born here in Washington, our daughter Madeleine.
Throughout all of my travels, she has been an unfailing support for me, I love her dearly, and I am appreciative to her.
It has been the privilege of my life to serve here, but I would not be fulfilling my charge in my final speech if I did not tell you what weighs on my mind and lays upon my heart about the direction of this country. So what I say to you now is with all due respect, but it is with the candor that it deserves.
The single greatest threat to the future of our Republic and the prosperity of our people is this Congress's failure to control spending. In my maiden speech, I lamented a world where my children would one day come to me and say they would find an opportunity in another country instead of staying here in America because those opportunities were better there. In 1 year's time that lament has proven to be too optimistic, because the challenge that confronts us will not wait until my children grow up.
When I came to Congress just 15 months ago, our national debt was $11.7 trillion. Today, it stands at $13.7 trillion. It has gone up $2 trillion in 15 months. It took this country 200 years to go $1 trillion in debt. Our interest payment on our debt service is nearly $200 billion now. At the end of the decade, when our debt will be nearly $26 trillion, that interest payment will be $900 billion.
When that interest payment is $900 billion, this government will fail. And long before that time the world markets will anticipate that and our markets will crash. This is not hyperbole; it is the truth. Not since World War II has this country faced a greater threat. Not since the Civil War has this threat come from within.
How has Congress arrived at this moment? For the past 40 years, Congress has spent more than it could afford. It has borrowed from Social Security and foreign governments, delaying making honest choices and prioritizing on what it should spend. Budgeting in Washington seems to be nothing
more than adding to last year's budget. We are funding the priorities of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s without any real evaluation of whether those are still good priorities and certainly not to see whether they are being done efficiently and effectively: It is as if a teenage child received not only all the gifts on their Christmas list this year but the gifts on all their Christmas lists going back to when they were three.
It is clear Congress is capable of solving this problem with business as usual. What is needed is across-the-board spending caps to right the ship. An across-the-board spending cap will necessitate oversight and require prioritization. Congress will finally have to do what businesses and families do all across this country: Make tough choices, make ends meet.
I have proposed such a cap. I have proposed going back to the 2007 level spending across the board. Was our spending in 2007 so austere that we could not live with it just 3 years later? If we did, we would balance the budget in 2013 and we would cut the national debt in half by 2020 and you would save America.
Unlike most problems that Congress addresses, this problem is uniquely solvable by Congress. Congress can't win wars. Only the brave men and women in our military, who we especially remember on this day, December 7, of all those who have served for our country in all of our wars to keep us safe and free, only those men and women can win a war. Congress cannot lead us out of recession. Only job creators and businesses can create jobs. But this problem is solely of Congress's making and uniquely solvable by this body.
What Congress should do is strengthen its oversight. The lack of oversight in Washington is breathtaking. Evaluate all Federal programs. Keep what works; fix what you should; get rid of the rest. Return the money to the people and use the rest to pay down this cataclysmic debt.
The recent work of the Debt Commission is a good start, and I commend my Senate colleagues who voted for this measure. It was courageous for them to do so.
But out-of-control spending is not just a threat because it is unsustainable; it is also changing who we are as Americans. Remember, our Founders told us that the powers delegated to the Federal Government were ``few and defined,'' the powers to the State ``numerous and indefinite,'' extending to ``all the objects which in the course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties and properties of the people.''
The current size and scope of the Federal Government is corrosive to the American spirit. The good intentions of Members of Congress to solve every real or perceived problem with a new Federal program, and the false light of praise that attaches to the giving away of the people's money, endangers our Republic. Every new program chips away at what it means to be an American, harms our spirit, and replaces our self-reliance with dependency, supplants an opportunity ethic with an entitlement culture. It is at its base un-American.
It is not the Government's role to deliver happiness. Rather, it is its role to stay clear of that path to allow our people to pursue that God-given right.
What has created our prosperity, after all, is not our government, it is our free market system of capitalism. It is through the healthy cut and thrust of the marketplace that new technologies, new jobs, and new wealth are created. Through that dynamic process some win and some lose, but it allows all of our people, regardless of their race, gender, creed, color, or background the opportunity to succeed or fail. And it ensures for us that unique expression ``only in America'' is not just a refrain from the past but an anthem for the future.
Can you imagine the tragedy if the downfall of the American experiment was caused by a failure of this Congress to control its spending? The challenge of this generation is before you and it is not beyond your grasp. There is nothing we as Americans cannot do. We have fought imperial Japan and Nazi Germany at the same time and beaten both. We have put a man on the Moon. We have mapped the human genome. And in the spare bedrooms and garages and dorm rooms of our people, our citizens have created the greatest inventions and the greatest businesses the world has ever known, which have employed millions of people and allowed them to pursue their dreams, all in the freest and most open society in the history of man.
We are that shining city on the hill. We are that beacon of freedom. We are that last best hope for mankind upon which God has shed his grace.
President Theodore Roosevelt said that one of the greatest gifts that life has to offer is the opportunity to do work that is worth doing. I can't think of a greater gift than the work that lies before you: righteous in its cause, noble in its purpose, and essential for the prosperity of our people.
I will always cherish the relationships I have gained here and the work we have done together. God bless you, God bless the U.S. Senate, and God bless our great country.
I yield the floor.

The spring/summer 2016 sandal collections are available and what better time to start thinking about which styles to wear on vacation then and now! "No heel is too high and no detail is too decadent". Take the Roman road with flat, gladiator style lace up sandals or slip into something simple and chic, with a block heel. For 2016, it's all about the "statement shoe"!
Often it's the simplest details that have the most impact on an outfit. Building an arsenal of finishing touches inspired by the latest accessory trends can go a long way towards injecting new life into wardrobe basics and past-season pieces. Shoes and sandals are just one of those magical items. They're essential for elevating simple outfits from denim jeans to polished pencil skirts, plus they'll change your entire ensemble's mood in two seconds flat. Desk to dinner? It's all in the shoes. So obviously, once a new season rolls around, a new pair of cute sandals (or two or three) becomes essential. Love your previous season sandals? Reviving them is easy by simply inserting fashion insoles from Piggy Pillows. Don't toss your favorite worn slide sandals because the straps are too loose. Fashion comfort insoles can revive your wedge sandals and help them fit and feel better than before.
Spring 2016 is proving to be pretty on point in the footwear department, with steppers like easy to wear slide-on espadrilles and '70s inspired open-toed clogs joining the ranks of beloved lace-up gladiators and multi-colored platform flats embellished with equally colorful pom-poms.
Step into the new season the right way with the latest must-have shoes for the post-winter season, and add that extra level of fashion and comfort to new and old footwear with sandal inspired insoles by Piggy Pillows.

If Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu really didn't want his speech on Tuesday to look political, he chose a strange place to deliver it: the U.S. House of Representatives, one of the most politicized places on Earth.
The room was permeated with politics; you could smell it from the galleries. Israel is two weeks from an election; the hero's welcome Netanyahu received, with mega-donor Sheldon Adelson and other supporters cheering him on from the guest seats, was broadcast there in prime time.
American political polarization was on painful view too. Republicans leapt to their feet for one standing ovation after another, eager to show their support for Israel's hard line against a nuclear compromise with Iran. But Democrats were divided, some applauding enthusiastically, others sitting stone-faced with hands in their laps — while as many as 60 stayed away in an unusual boycott.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) spent most of the speech looking angry. "I was near tears throughout the prime minister's speech, saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States," she said later.
That's not what normally happens when the leader of a friendly country speaks before a joint session of Congress. Usually such speeches are bipartisan lovefests.
Not this one. Netanyahu and House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) decided to make the Israeli leader a formal participant in the U.S. debate over the nuclear deal Obama is trying to conclude. And they did so in a decidedly partisan way by arranging the speech without informing the White House.
So it was Netanyahu, speaking for the opposition. The Israeli leader tried to soften that impression by saying he was grateful for Obama's steadfast support for Israel, but that didn't fool anyone. On those lines, Democrats leapt to their feet; Republicans hesitated and looked at their laps.
The substance of the speech was political too: the high politics of framing the terms of debate over a nuclear deal, even before it's concluded. Netanyahu said, accurately, that the basic shape of the potential agreement with Iran was already clear — and insisted that Israel could not accept it.
"This is a bad deal. It's a very bad deal. We're better off without it," he said. "It doesn't block Iran's path to the bomb; it paves Iran's way to the bomb."
He said the proposed deal would allow Iran to continue enriching some uranium at low levels. (Administration officials say a total ban is unachievable, and argue that a deal would impose limits that would prevent Iran from building a weapon.)
And he complained that the deal would "sunset" after about 10 years, leaving Iran free to increase uranium enrichment. (Administration officials say Iran would still be prohibited from developing nuclear weapons and would still be subject to international inspections.)
The main problem with Netanyahu's speech, though, was that he didn't offer a clear alternative. He argued that the United States could simply increase economic sanctions until Iran agrees to dismantle all its nuclear facilities — "a much better deal," he said. But he didn't suggest a way there, aside from hoping that Iran would walk away from the negotiating table.
That boils down to: Maybe we'll get lucky and the Iranians will blow up the talks. But what if they don't? The U.S. doesn't have the option of abandoning the negotiations because that would probably cause the international coalition that has imposed sanctions to collapse — leaving Iran less encumbered, not more.
Netanyahu insisted that he wasn't suggesting a course that would lead to war. But he did take the opportunity to rebut one of the main arguments against military action — the argument that attacking Iran's facilities won't eliminate Iran's nuclear know-how.
"Nuclear know-how without nuclear infrastructure doesn't get you very much," he said. "A race car driver without a car can't drive. A pilot without a plane can't fly. Without thousands of centrifuges, tons of enrichment or heavy water facilities, Iran can't make nuclear weapons."
It was a powerful, well-crafted speech, but did it change minds? Not in Congress, where Netanyahu's arguments are already familiar.
Members who said they were undecided remained mostly undecided. "I'm going to look at the deal once it's made," said Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks). "And the important question will be: Compared to what?"
Netanyahu's protestations aside, the debate over an Iran deal was already partisan and divisive. He and Boehner just made it more so. In effect, Netanyahu argued that members of Congress must choose between Israel and the president. That's an easy choice for most Republicans, a painful and unwanted one for most Democrats.
If U.S. and Iranian negotiators conclude a deal, and Netanyahu is reelected in two weeks, Americans are in for a bitter and divisive fight — and it's way too late to hope that it won't turn political.

Steve Mata, a former Titleist rep, had a set of Tiger Woods' irons on ebay. They were allegedly the ones Woods used when he won all four majors in a row. Those irons were for sale at $250,000.
I was just about to click "buy it now" and PayPal Mr. Mata the $250k but then I heard that Tiger made a statement about the irons:
"He may have my set of irons, but they're not from those tournaments. They're in my garage." ~Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods sits at +5 on the 13th hole at Quail Hollow. He's +3 today and not looking "Tiger like." Unless he makes a bunch of birdies, he'll be heading home tonight and missing the cut, the first in a regular season non-major since 2005.
Tiger has hit 1/4 of his fairways, 50% of his greens in regulation and had 10 bogeys or worse. That adds up to a missed cut.

6:55pm ET: Phil Mickelson wins his 3rd green jacket after an exclamation point birdie on the last hole. What an incredible week it has been for me in particular, as I was on the grounds at Augusta National for the first time. What a tournament. What a place. And I'm spent.
Good news: only 361 days left until the 2011 Masters.
6:40pm: Westwood makes birdie on #17 but Phil handles the pressure making a par putt from about six feet. Two shot lead with the final hole to play. It ain't over yet. Woods finishes with a 69 after making birdie on the final hole. Strangely, he and Choi played together for four straight days and shot the exact same scores all four days.
I've just added over 100 photos to the HOG Masters Gallery. I also added a whole new album called Masters Odd Stuff for things you may not normally see at Augusta National. Here are a couple of samples from the 2010 Masters Tournament gallery.

Q: So, how does it work with the chickens,
Q: Are your fresh chickens available all year round?
For 2017, our family has planned to raise out 4 batches of chickens. In our 18 years of raising chickens, we have developed a feel for how many chickens we can physically raise and how many chickens people want to buy at different times of the season. Our goal is to raise as many chickens as possible without ending the season with dozens of unsold birds in our freezer.
Q: What if you call us for chicken during
the "off" season?
When you look at our web-site, you will see the list of chicken dates. You can order FRESH chickens for each of those dates. You choose where you want to pick up your chickens and order the number you would like. We have a comment box below the chicken order form for any special instructions. When you pick up your birds, they will be very, very cold, but will not have yet been frozen. You will get to experience the culinary delight of cooking and eating a fresh chicken! Nothing compares to this!
Q: What if you call us in between butcher dates?
Q: Can I purchase chicken parts like
boneless-skinless chicken breast or leg-quarters?
Q: When can I order the chickens?
We hope this answers your questions! See you soon!

The Obama administration announced the second round of states that will be receiving foreclosure relief aid, and neither Massachusetts nor New Hampshire is on the list.
Instead, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, and South Carolina will divvy up $600M in aid. The first round of states receiving aid, which were announced in June, were Arizona, Florida, California, Michigan, and Nevada.
States receiving aid will use it to make mortgage payments for unemployed homeowners for up to a year while they search for work. The states can also provide incentives for lenders to lower balances on underwater loans.
Hey, but what about us? Sometimes the old saying that "the Lord helps those who help themselves" is very apt. Chapter 13 of the bankruptcy code provides something of a do-it-yourself mortgage rescue program, at least for homeowners who still have a stream of regular income each month. In Chapter 13, arrearages on a first mortgage can be paid off over five years, and in many cases second mortgages or home equity lines can be entirely eliminated. There are, of course, many details, so if you'd like to find out about them, please give me a call.

(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
The unnamed narrator of "The Seventh Trunk" is a writer who hopes to find or to create the perfect work of fiction. Early in his career, he thought that this goal had been achieved. He read in the Bockelmunden Parish News the first installment of what was supposed to be a two-part story by an author named Jakob Maria Hermes. Unfortunately, however, the publication went out of business, so the conclusion of Hermes's story never appeared.
The narrator gives only the briefest account of its plot: A nine-year-old girl is lured into joining a religious order that attends mass not once, but twice each Sunday. Although the narrator is unable to present the story exactly as he read it years earlier, he insists that it was the most nearly perfect work of fiction that he has ever read. Only one sentence struck him as flawed. On seeing the young girl, a nun of the order is said to be aware of her own "senselessness" (Sinnlosigkeit). The narrator says that the word seems ridiculous in its context and must have been a printer's error for "sensuality" (Sinnlichkeit). He draws this conclusion because, shortly before this, the same nun notices a spot of chocolate appearing on the young girl's blue dress. This image, the narrator concludes, must evoke feelings that the nun is powerless to suppress.
Curious as to how the story turned out, the narrator searches for information about the author in everything from writers' indexes to the Bockelmunden parish register. At last, he is forced to conclude that the name "Jakob Maria Hermes" must have been a pseudonym. He then begins to seek out Ferdinand Schmitz, a retired schoolmaster who was the last editor of the Bockelmunden Parish News. By a remarkable coincidence, Schmitz dies only a day or two before the narrator arrives in town. At the old man's funeral, the narrator is told by relatives that the entire archives of the Bockelmunden Parish News—perhaps half a dozen boxes of correspondence, records, and unpublished manuscripts—were burned during the final days of World War II. Left with no means of recovering the story's original ending, the...

Europeana Nets 150 Reminders of Baltic Chain, Re-Independence Era Fervor ({{commentsTotal}})
The Europeana 1989 memory drive held at the National Library over the weekend yielded about 150 items donated by people with first-hand experiences related to the watershed events of the late 1980s.
Among the items, which included many photos and published material, were a hand-sewn tricolor flag and an old Sony portable radio used at the Baltic Chain event where thousands joined hands from Tallinn to Vilnius.
Remembrances from participants indicated that other, hitherto unknown spontaneous celebrations and demonstrations continued in a number of places, such as a "green chain" held in Rohuküla, which drew people from Lääne county and Saare county.
Member of European Parliament Tunne Kelam, the Estonian delegate of Europeana 1989, donated his Estonian citizen's registration card.
Historian Küllo Arjakas discussed the events leading up to the Baltic Chain and donated the minutes of a meeting held by the Popular Front in Pärnu, at which the event was planned.
Film director Peeter Simm, the maker of "Baltic Way," also shown over the weekend, related stories from the documentary film shoot.
Photographer Peeter Langovits, then working for the Estonian wire service ETA, which was a part of TASS, talked about his impressions and how a picture he took of the red banner with hammer and sickle flanked by swastika was censored by TASS.
This year, Langovits said he was on assignment at the Baltic Way marathon, run each year in Vilnius. He said the Estonian flag was carried there by Lithuanian runners, as Estonian participation is scant at the event.
TV reporter Andres Raid delivered an emotional presentation, saying he had not seen so much spark in Estonians' eyes since.
The materials will be available for viewing at www.europeana1989.eu. The site also will include an upload facility until August 23, 2014, the 25th anniversary of the event.

Title : Triglyceride Secretion Rates: Use of Triton WR 1339 in the Rhesus Moneky,
Corporate Author : ARMY MEDICAL RESEARCH INST OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES FREDERICK MD

Abstract : The effects of Triton WR 1339 on plasma lipids were studied in fasted and glucose-loaded rhesus monkeys. This compound produced a marked linear increase in plasma triglycerides (TG) during the first 4 hours of a 5-hour study period. Triglyceride secretion rates were determined in fasted and in glucose-loaded monkeys. Free fatty acid values (FFA) were depressed, while cholesterol and phospholipid values were unchanged. No evidence of hepatocellular or other tissue damage was noted at necropsy. These studies suggest that Triton administration is valuable in assessing rates of basal hepatic TG secretion in the rhesus monkey. (Modified author abstract)

Wonderful stay!
This truly is the best home we've rented through VRBO. We celebrated a birthday with our family and everyone had a wonderful time. Leanne was super from our first questions prior to renting through our entire visit. We would like to visit again and hopefully will. Everything you need or want is available. The house is beautiful and comfortable. We loved Sylvia too! Tortola is beautiful as well. We enjoyed the beaches and local areas.

Wonderful stay with great open floor plan and A/C
We stayed at Villa Sirenetta for 5 nights late April/early May with my husband and I, two girls (6 and 3) and babysitter. The layout was great for us – two bedrooms separated by the great room/kitchen and the 3rd bedroom for the babysitter downstairs on the pool level. We loved the open kitchen/living/dining space and the A/C in the main areas. Previous stays on St John, USVI only had A/C in the bedrooms so this was a treat for us. We made dinner every night on the grill and had breakfast every morning except one (D' Best Cup – excellent). The sunsets are really amazing at Villa Sirenetta. Leanne was wonderful as was Sylvia and French (?). Leanne was so helpful answering questions and booking the car with Jerry. We arrived a little early and Sylvia was so sweet and accommodating. I have to disagree with one of the other reviewers. We have stayed all over the Caribbean and we found the people of Tortola to be the most wonderful of all the places we have been. They were friendly and welcoming and genuinely happy to help. I'm not sure where the previous reviewers went or what their experiences were but we found the people to be the kindest and loveliest people. That will be a big deciding factor for us in the future. We had a fantastic day sail on Kuralu. Great massage at the Serenity Spa in the West End. Having the laundry done mid-week was a nice perk as was the bottled water. Overall great trip. Driving is a little bit of a challenge but we getting used to it in our travels to the US and British Virgin Islands. Regarding the pool – we went in late April and there was plenty of sun to enjoy the pool – we came back from the beaches and hit the pool to cool off almost every day. It was wonderfully refreshing. Overall it was a great stay.

Perfect Couples' Getaway
We went on a trip to the BVIs with another couple, and Villa Sirenetta was a perfect match. It has basically two master suites upstairs, which worked great. They are on opposite sides of the house for added privacy. While the queen bedroom is smaller, the shower has an ocean view so it makes up for it. The house was well equipped with anything you could need. The pool was a nice option, but it didn't seem to get enough sun to make you want to jump in a lot. We enjoyed sunning on the deck regardless. We drove to every beach on Tortola and snorkeled daily. We also took a day trip to the Baths on Virgin Gorda, sailed with friends to the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke, and snorkeled around St. John. The location is good, though you definitely need 4×4 to get there. The property managers were excellent and very responsive to any needs. The only negative we experienced is that the locals in town were not friendly in the least. We noticed this as we boarded ferries, shopped at local stores, and dined at local restaurants. The scenery makes up for what the local people lacked in hospitality. We would recommend Villa Sirenetta to anyone. It was perfect for our needs.

So many wonderful things to choose from. I'm looking for places with lots of fish and vegetarian options, preferably mid-range price. We're staying near Place Phillips, but will have a car to get around town. We're going to ChuChai on Saturday night -- I was there a few years ago and loved it. But that means I'm not really looking for another strictly vegetarian meal, or one that is Asian-centric. Bonus points for suggesting something with an online menu I can browse! Thank you so much for your help.
