On behalf of Maki, who is tearing her hair out, I'd like to declare the Week 2 Wrapup Report section open for business.
My blog is Food and Shoes
And I'll kick things off too.
I had two goals for week 2: Eat breakfast, and have a little more variety in my lunches. I succeeded on both counts, I'm happy to say, although I was running very late on Wednesday morning and my breakfast was a single Weetbix. Weetbik. Whatever. I also weighed 700g less on Monday morning than I did the Monday before, so the weight loss is working too.
Here are my lunches:
A 535 kcal Thai-style glass noodle salad and miso soup, in the box:
and prepared for eating:
473 kcal of Korean Barbecue Beef, leftover potato salad, coleslaw, and hard boiled egg:
More coleslaw, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, roast vege salad, Thai-style beef, and a thing that would be a quiche if it had pastry, which will henceforth be known as a mini frittata. A measly 366 kcal, which qualified me for a mid afternoon snack of a few sultanas and things.
Another mini frittata, some frozen shrimps (hardly any calories! I hadn't realised), roast vege salad, coleslaw, bean sprouts, the last artichoke hearts, and the last cheese stuffed belle pepper from jars in the fridge. Even fewer calories, 321 kcal. Another mid afternoon snack.
Fritters of what was supposed to be whitebait, but wasn't really, another mini frittata, some feta, bean sprouts, tomatoes, coleslaw, and a couple of marinated green-lipped mussels. It came to 427 kcal, and I didn't go for a walk, so no snack today.
(I love your Tuesday and Friday bento boxes! I've seen Friday's on J-List, but the Tuesday box is lovely and unique.)
Yes, I got Friday's from J-List. Tuesday's box is one of four I got from Amazon Japan. It was quite a mission, involving Google translation tools, a Japanese postgrad student from work, and his mother. Amazon Japan doesn't, or at least didn't at the time, deliver bento boxes outside Japan. I needed to order them and get them delivered to Yoshio's Mum, who then forwarded them the next time she was sending gifts for her grandkids. The pattern on the lid is actually fabric laminated into the plastic. It's made by Hakoya, and one of their larger ones at ~530 ml. They make a lot of lovely shaped boxes with gorgeous fabrics, but most of them are very small. Too small for my lunch, anyway.
The Thai-style glass noodle salad from your Monday lunch looks delicious! What specifically did you put in it?
Glass (bean thread) noodles, that went into the sealed bit of box cooked (as far as you do cook them) and with a dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, and a little brown sugar. If I wasn't trying to lose weight I'd have put some oil in the dressing too. In the other bit of box was some chicken I had poached in fish sauce and lime juice, slices of capsicum, toasted cashews, and not-very-sprouted bean sprouts. Then I bought a pot of coriander plants at the supermarket and added some of that when I mixed everything together. Not really properly bento, seeing as it went into another larger bowl for eating - but I COULD have eaten it from the box had I needed to.
I've loaded my pics this week to the flickr site.
My goal this week was to make bento, take it to work and actually eat it! I achieved that for 4 days this week. I made boring sarnies last night as I have to go grocery shopping this weekend and as a result the cupboards are light :-/
On the weight loss front, I need to go on the wii fit tonight. I haven't been on for almost 2 weeks. I really really need a kick in the butt to get back on. I can't let it slide so quickly (only got it at Christmas!)
Goal for next week will be to try harder on the wii fit training and to maintain my bento lunches for 5 days at work this week.
My pics will be on flickr later tonight (California time) or this weekend. They're still sleeping on my memory card.
This was a four-day work week for me, but I still made five bentos for myself because I needed more protein in my breakfast to balance my protein-weak lunch for today. I also made a box for a dear friend of mine who builds my computers for me, which I made and presented to him on Wednesday night when he dropped off my new box. YAY!
So goals met include not kicking myself over the food scale non-purchase (I can always go back). I failed to streamline the picture-taking-and-posting process, but I'm not too unhappy about it because I think the new computer will play a part in that.
Hi everybody,
I did four this week and it was with Maki's goals in mind ie
1. to proportion the carbs/proteins/veg better
2. keep track of calories (in my case points)
3. to make one extra bento
I did 4 bentos and they are on my flickr:
(under set named Week 2 Challenge)
1. Hard to see
2. First attempt at sushi
3. Boyfriend's nigiri lunch
4. Week 2 challenge bento
Hard to see: I was trying not to "1 Point" myself to death by putting in too many Weight Watchers (WW) low point foods that aren't filling. I think I've always done well at putting in protein, but the amount of food made my greedy for more, I think.
First attempt at sushi: I ended up eating for dinner/snack because we went out to lunch. It was good and the eggs are very filling. Mrs. Dash doesn't have any taste at all to me.
Boyfriends: He loved it and it was his favorite so far.
Week 2 challenge: I didn't eat it yet because I got the flu. I still have the flu, so I can't stay on the computer long!
Thanks, Maki, I hope things get better.
bento photostream
Yecch, flu! It's probably something like what I just came down with today. Hope you feel better soon!
I read someplace that Virginia got hit with the flu first and that is where I live; I see you are not too far away, so I hope it's not on its way. My friend had it hard core for 1 day and I had it hard for 2 so it seems rather "quick" to pass.
I made one more bento than last week, for a total of one. :) But I have no picture! I made it for my husband and he ate it before I got a picture.
I focused on dividing his bento calories more evenly among food groups, which worked well, and on using leftovers smartly, which went really well. :)
I did not keep up with my exercise goals; we've both come down with a bit of a bug.
I made all 7 bentos this week. And surprisingly they are all fairly unique, beside the two sandwiches to eat on the way to school. I will have them all up later on tonight here (in California): http://www.flickr.com/photos/19574502@N00/sets/72157612871315697/
I did not exercise quite as much as I had wanted. Working out at home was a no go this week, I really under estimated just how tired I would be with class and all [and to think we have not even had a lab yet :/]. But I did manage to walk to public transit 3 days this week, and I had a good walk over to the Court today. My plan is to go swimming one day this weekend to make up for this week, before I will not be able to go again for a couple of weeks [getting my eyebrows touched up on Sunday ^_^]
I made four dinner bentos for the week, and due to exhaustion, poor planning, and absolutely *no* groceries, I broke down and took a frozen meal for the fifth and final dinner (it was low-cal, though, so I don't feel too bad...). Also, I used up some higher-calorie saffron risotto and made some plain brown rice to take with me--lower-cal and less likely to spike my blood sugar. Lunches during the week were simple green salads bought from the cafeteria at work. I broke down on the weekend and joined the group takeout order with my coworkers. C'est la vie...
Excercise... I hit the gym every day at work (we have a gym in the building!) for about an hour. Makes up for the days off work when I lay around like a slug.
All in all, doing well with the eating better/losing weight goals, *except* for the Hershey's hugs I have squirreled away in my desk at work. At this rate, however, I will have eaten through them fairly quickly and do not plan on restocking!
I made five lunch bento this week, in spite of a short work week and inauguration craziness here in D.C. Two out of the five bentos were for inauguration events (including the inauguration itself!) You can find details on this week's bentos and whether/how I met my goals here on my blog: http://culinarylinguist.blogspot.com/2009/01/bento-challenge-week-2-reca...
I also posted pictures of four out of five of the bentos to the Flickr pool (my username is MeiMa7106).
My favorite bento this week was the inauguration day bento (consumed on the Mall!) of Spam musubi and broccoli. The spam musubi held up really well in the cold!
My husband really liked the Indonesian-esque fried noodles (I was calling them "mee goreng") that I made and that he helped out with on Tuesday night. I didn't have any rice noodles or Chinese wheat noodles so I subbed thin spaghetti. They made their way into Wednesday and Thursday's bento lunches and were a hit. I thought they tasted great at room temperature; he chose to heat his up.
One thing I was not satisfied with was the protein in this week's bentos - lots of Spam (leftover from the spam musubi) and eggs in various forms (tea eggs; fried with noodles). I'd like to try for more lean proteins and more variety next week. I bought a lot of tofu yesterday and I'm sure that will find its way into at least one bento next week. For some reason I haven't been keeping tofu on hand in the fridge recently and I miss it!
Great work so far, everyone! I continue to be impressed and inspired with the photos in the Flickr pool. I'm surprised at the self-deprecation displayed in some of the descriptions, though - give yourselves a little more credit for even trying! ^_^ I admit that my photos are not professional-quality, and the contents of my bento are not always the most interesting or well-made, but I've found the most enjoyment in the process of thinking about them, creating them, and eating them, and trying something new.
I really loved Jamie's Inaugural Spam Musubi! Here it is if anyone missed it:
(click on the image for a bigger view)
Not that spam musubi are overly healthy :P but I thought it was really fitting for the occasion, since apparently President Obama loves them, not surprising since he did grow up in Hawai'i after all. I'm sure he would have loved a bite!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Hi Maki,
Thanks for the acknowledgment of my bento! It was definitely my favorite bento that I've made so far for the challenge, and was a lot of fun to make and eat. (well, a little stressful making, since the brown rice was not always the most cooperative in sticking together, and I was in a rush to get down to the Mall, but a lot of fun eating! ;) ) Also, thanks for including the link to that article, and the picture! I hadn't read the article before I made the bento; I was just guessing that he would like spam musubi, given that he grew up in Hawai'i...
I really couldn't think of a more fitting tribute, which is why I ultimately decided to disregard the "healthy" challenge for last week...my goals for this week are going to include "healthier," in the wake of spam consumption!
Maybe I could post this in a different topic thread in the forum, but I was wondering: How do you add pictures to a post?
Well, this week was nowhere near as successful as the first week. I managed to make 2 bento lunches, but only took pic of 1 as the other was a clear lock and lock box of veg sticks as I had an unexpected work day out of the office and didn't have enough time left in the morning to make anything (I realised i didn't have my normal leisurely breakfast just a bit too late!)
I'm wondering if this coming week will be the same as I am now extremely stressed...We may, I emphasise MAY be moving. We've seen the house, we like it, we just have to impress the landlord who is coming to see us today. Oh and tell the letting agency today that we don't want to renew. This means that we are technically homeless if the credit check that the new landlord does comes back not ok. I'm sure it will be ok, but it's another thing to stress about!
Anyway, enough of a hijack. More pretty food!
I've posted my Week 2 report here...even Friday's big plate-o-sausages!
Overall it was a good week though. And I lost about a kilo (2 lbs) too! Whee!
This week went much better than last week... At least I think so ^^
It's mainly thanks to the planning and mise en place : This time even if I couldn't put out my pans and pots I put them apart from the rest, and I placed all my ingredients in the front of the fridge so I could easily grab them. More over I followed my bento planer to the letter ^^.
Apart from that, I tried to tackle the go deeper lever, except I only did two bento to suit my needs. I think I did reasonably well :
First bento on thursday
(clickie to see notes and descriptions)
Usualy I prefer not to eat salads bentos in the winter, but I got hold of some fresh roquette and baby spinach leaves, so... ^^
However there is much more cucumber, carrot and cheese in it than actual salad leaves !
I also tried to make a cute bento, for once, since part of the challenge was to make bento more attractive this week... But I'm not terribly good at that, and it took me 45mn (cooking the rice on the stove included) to put this bento and my dinner together , few!
Second Bento on friday :
(clickie to see notes and descriptions)
Much faster to assemble. I also liked the combination of gochujang tamagowaki, sesame sauteed beans sprouts and kimchi.
Altogether it wasn't a bad week, bento-wise !
Notes for next week, about 3 bentos needed :
* Maybe think of healthier alternatives than plain white rice...
* And try to pack more calory-dense food...
* Again, try to add more vegetable proteins in my bentos. (I really need recipes... and a pressure cooker T-T)
Hope it went as well for you folks ! ^^
Wow! Your bento are beautiful - I love the colours and the gochujang tamagoyaki idea. :)
All righty, here's my wrapup!
My main challenge this year is to make a lot more bentos than last year. I'm feeling much better when eating bento than when eating out, so it's not just an economic decision for me.
So without much further ado...
My week wasn't as successful as last week (mostly due to working late and being tired) but on Sunday I was on a roll and made 4(!) different bento boxes! I usually only count one box if I make two similar boxes for the BF and me, but thanks to them all being different I managed to push my bento count over 200 without even trying!
This also means that now I'll have to wait with the celebrations until 250, but oh well. :)
I also want to mention that I'm not quite happy with the lighting in those photos. It's still deep, dark winter here in Sweden and I'm taking all of my pictures in lamplight.
Tuesday I was tired but needed a bento for the next day, so I decided to re-use half a layer that wasn't eaten on Monday:
Wednesday and Thursday I was a bad girl and ate out. Burgers and Canneloni, oh my! But so good. And as I'm not doing this for weight loss anyway, who cares?
And Friday.
I've posted my two bentos to the flickr site (under the name 'hweishien').
I'm still finding it hard to get bentos done on a regular basis. I think it's going to get even harder because the hubby and I are now trying to sell our place, so the kitchen has to be spotless before I leave for work. The past while, I've just been leaving all my stuff out to clean when I get home, and that won't be possible after Tuesday.
I hear you about having to keep the kitchen clean! What I was doing while we had our house on the market was to put all the dirty pots and whatever that I couldn't wash up in the refrigerator! (We don't have a dishwasher...I know, so primitive.) People don't look in there, and it doesn't start to smell or anything. It worked for us...since the house is now sold! (though apparently the people who bought it are going to tear out the kitchen, so...ah...) :)
I hear you about keeping the kitchen clean, though for a different reason: both my parents are somewhat anal about cleanliness - the first thing my father did when getting home every day was to sweep the floor. I get to use the kitchen in return for keeping it just as clean as it was before, and as I'm currently living with my mother, I have to factor in cleaning time into bento prep. It's difficult, but I've found that doing most things the night before and only doing simple chopping or only using one pan in the morning helps a lot.
You might find cleaning up after yourself a pain right now, but you'll find it's a very good habit to get into. After all, if everyone left the kitchen just not quite as clean as it was when they started it would soon be a total mess.
You can probably tell that I am a mother and have experienced offspring in the kitchen!
I agree absolutely - being able to maintain a clean kitchen is a really rewarding experience. It's nicer coming home to a cup of tea without having to put away dried dishes, and it makes living with other people easier as well.
That said, I'm the only one who uses the kitchen in my house (my mother only uses it to eat breakfast most of the time), so the expected level of cleanliness is "spotless" as that's the kitchen's natural state when used by other people, which is not at all. It has been difficult to adapt from my previous habits, which was to leave the dishes out to air-dry and clean the floors when I got back from school/work when I was not living here.
I've found that there are ways to make mornings easier - Maki's cooking timelines can also be adapted to include cleaning time, which makes clean-up a lot easier. You can get a lot of cleaning done when things are cooking, I've found. :) It's a different way of doing things, but the results are quite nice once you get used to it, so best of luck, shy_hinata!
My parents are also very into cleanliness. My mother is very adamant that one should clean as they go, she cannot stand to see dishes pile up at any time. My husband thinks that this is a weird habit, but it really cuts down on the mess when I do massive amounts of cooking.
Yeah, I do try my best, but there are times when my mornings just wind up to be so unpredictable. Sometimes I wish I could turn my pager off when I'm at home :D My hubby is quite understanding of the fact that I have to sometimes just drop things and run off to the hospital, but I have a feeling that people coming to see our place won't be so understanding. Oh well. We'll see how things go.
Oh! That's a great suggestion! I think I'm going to do that! Thanks!!! I'll let you know how it goes (and if our place gets sold :D )
I only managet to get one bento done this week and that was on the day I lost my camera (cucumber rolls, carrot sticks, and peppers if anyone's interested.) It didn't really fit the specifications either as their wasn't as much protein. I only have one exam remaining though so I hope I will be able to catch up next week.
Where can we find it clarissa?
I'm not shure. Maki said she will put it in, when the first post is written. I have written it yesterday, but I can't find it myself........ maybe she has not found time to do it until now?
Edit: wehn you click on my username you will get to my site, where you can come to my blog. And read it
I've got a wrap-up on my blog.
I got a bit of the stomach flu going about. It's made me less than interested in thinking about food. I guess I need to get some plans in place for the coming week, but, well, ...bleh.
Lost camera and sick kids have made reporting a challenge. We have had some delicious lunches though. Hopefully week three will be the turnaround week for me.
I have been really good for a couple of years at packing leftovers from dinner to take as lunches later in the week. This "challenge" is helping me get some more variety into each lunch and helping me get a freezer stash to pull from so DH and I don't have to take the occasional frozen lunch or eat elementary school food.
I did pretty well this week - Even though we had snow (this is decidely odd for my city). The acutal sum up is over here. I even managed to put a face in my lunch this week. Doing really well on making healthy choices & using left overs.
I'm on a get healthy kick - since I quit smoking - next stop weight loss - let the journey begin.
I only made ONE bento this week. It's kinda sad. OH well, I was here and there for work with my co-worker this week, so I didn't even bother to pack lunch, coz very likely we'd go out for lunch together. It's one big challenge that when you go out for work with someone (i.e., not in the office), if the other person didn't bring lunch, very likely that you'll go out to eat together... since you don't wanna eat alone. Does anyone feel the same?
Anyways, my bento picture is on Flickr, and my username is nicolegeri1213
I made some two to three "bento" to eat every day, and there was a fair amount of variety. It's been pretty good, except when I arrived ten minutes late for classes Thursday, so mostly I'm looking for a balance between speed and presentation/completeness now.
Eating Healthy
The week went fairly well - I managed to limit myself to only one sugary good a day, except for that one day with the super-sweet granola bar and the brownie. The bad was that I was experiencing a lot of energy dips, so I'll have to find other sources of fairly easily available energy while I try to get more rest and exercise. More carbs, perhaps, or smoothies?
I found that this week I learnt a lot about organization and being speedy.
On Wednesday I managed to steam squash and broccoli, stir-fry some leftover cherry tomatoes, pan-fry oyaki, boil fish balls, shower, peel out half a pomelo, eat breakfast, pack the three boxes worth of food, and leave the kitchen spotless in an hour. I only managed because I made a rough timeline of things that needed to be done the night before, which helped a lot as my mind tends to be a bit slow at multi-tasking in the mornings.
Thursday and Friday I was rushed for time and had only fifteen minutes each day from cooking to packing to cleaning, so I found that having a stash of leftovers/frozen food is definitely helpful, as well as only boiling or steaming things for easy clean up. Having a small snack packed the night before helps as well.
I managed to clean my house of most of the sweets we had lying around due to planing, which helped curb my urges to impulsively buy sweet loaves/muffins/etc. that I usually have during the middle of the day. And slowly but surely, my age-old stash of snack foods is being cleansed out. I've got about a litre of candy/chocolates left, which will have to disappear slowly. (Except the chocolate, of course. Because chocolate expires. ;) )
I did okay on the exercise front - twenty minutes of strength training on Monday, about an hour's worth of brisk walking on Thursday while I looked for my lost keys which turned out to have been not lost at all, twenty-odd flights of stairs on Friday, and many kilometres of walking today plus a bit of strength-training.
Overall I'm mostly pleased with how the week went - a few slip ups here and there, but it's been...good. Plus, I've got batteries in my WiiFit now, so my "strength training" can be more than just push-ups and sit ups! :D
Oh gosh, I'm so exhausted from this week's round of bento-making! Thank goodness it's a long weekend here : D
Report is over here.
This week had some great stuff (yay Tuesday!) and some stupid stuff (back failure). I was just looking at the goals I had set for week 2:
• Continue making a bento at least 5 days a week for me and any guests
• Integrate data I get from nutritionist-lady into my calorie/carb/fat goals
• Clean off my damn rowing machine & start using it
• Continue organizing my pantry & fridge & freezer
The bento making went fine & was enjoyable both to construct and eat. I'm still seeing my daily numbers fluctuate quite a bit (cal/carb/fat). I have had two conversations with the nutritionists office, but not with the actual nutritionist.. so I'm eager for my appointment with her.
The growing johbisai in my freezer & pantry has been of huge benefit. I'm particularly glad for the mini meatballs, the soboro, the tea eggs, the delicious CTD peppers, and the store of quickly steamable/boilable veggies. I tried a new brand of rice for this week, and the few onigiri I froze turned out slightly better than last week, but I still am loving them made from freshly cooked rice best. Perhaps a rice cooker is in my future, but I've been making rice in a pot for 30 years now, and it works pretty well. Tamagoyaki make me SUPER happy, even in my non-standard frying pan.
As I've mentioned, I'm keeping a food diary, and my intention is for it to be extremely detailed. That's working okay, 'cause I'm prone to obsessive geekiness, and tools like nutritiondata.com are certainly helpful. However, I am not happy with how long it takes me with the current method. Essentially, I send myself an email each day and use nutritiondata.com to get the cal/carb/fat numbers. I know there are tools such as CalorieKing that might make keeping a food log easier, but I can't really afford it, so I'm still searching for a better way to log my food. There's an iTouch app called LiveStrong which I plan to try this week, and I'll keep looking for a good free food diary application, preferably one I can use on the iTouch.
I did not get my rowing machine cleaned off. Partly it was procrastination: I kept telling myself that I would do it on Thursday or Friday so that I would have technically met my goal, but then my back crashed. I guess that's the classic downside of procrastination! Still, here it is Sunday, and my back feels much better, so I'm encouraged to think that this episode was just a brief blip. I'll try again this coming week to get the rowing going.
I did make some progress with regard to organization. My organizational goals stretch far beyond this bento challenge, so at this point I'm glad to just be keeping up, i.e., doing a little bit every day to improve & streamline my life's workflow. During week 2 I got my freezer neatened up, and it already makes life so much easier to be able to easily FIND those mini-meatballs & sugar snap peas! In week 3 I hope to tackle the pantry.
Besides all the lovely recipes & bento related expertise that Maki is sharing, I've been impacted in some really significant ways. This challenge continues to encourage me to be more mindful about what (and how much) I'm eating, and that really matters to me. Also, though the rowing didn't actually start, this bento challenge is motivating me in that regard as well. And I still really derive a great deal of pleasure looking at all our Flickr pool pictures, and sharing my own.
Oh, and I also credit the bento challenge with giving me the incentive to finally retool my old blog into a much more useful component of my online life. I made it much more general in focus, and that's so much better for me!
Upward & onward!
Congrats to everyone on Week 2! ^_^
Celine and jokergirl, your bentos look beautiful! Bet they're super nummy too :)
My report is up on my spiffy new blog
"A common way to tell if it is well cooked is to throw the sausage onto a hard surface; if it bounces, the sausage is good."
Two out of four bentos for a short school week. (Copy and pasting one of Flickr's "share it" option. Not sure how this might look when I'm finished, so bear with me, please).
A comment on a ReNest blog mentioned that by the conscientious choice to "save some dinner for lunch tomorrow" many of us are eating less at dinner or making other "more" food choices. I think this is true of me for sure. I made sure to reserve some chicken from dinner for my bento, but was still feeling hungry so I ate more broccoli instead.
I didn't really plan this coming weekend ahead of time like I had hoped, so this week's bentos will fall short of anything well-thought out, I'm afraid. I picked up a few things at Daiso today - smaller silicone cups, sauce bottles, and mayonnaise cups. I want to figure out a way to make portions ahead of time that I can microwave and still have a hot lunch (I am squeamish about using Made in China products for re-heating). I have thought about ceramic ramekins, but the sizes are not so bento friendly).
Week 3 Goals
Bento 3/5 days
Plan for bentos for Week 4
Keep looking for reheating options that I deem as 'safer'.
Bento Challenge Week 2 Wrap Up -
How was the week? Hmm - did not get too many goals met. Here are the Week 2 goals and the follow up notes:
* sort bento boxes according to volume they can hold - other chores got in the way of this.
* identify bento boxes that suit caloric intake per meal - other chores got in the way of this.
* pre-plan the bentos and other meals for 7 days - still just roughly planned according to what is in the house and on shopping list but not committed to paper.
* refine mise en place according to meal plans - done for husband and son but because I am not fully planning I don't have it worked out for myself.
* make at least 4 bentos and photograph them - this was achieved in that 4 were made but only two were photgraphed as the camera died.
* post here and write a report on my adventures! - DONE!
~ Begin by knowing you have already arrived ~
my blog - http://honeysheistwisted.blogspot.com/
Wrapup Report:
*Sticking to weekly meal planner if really hard
*Went swimming on Thursday evening, fitness and bike riding on Sunday and bowling (does that count?)
*Bento: did 5 (more exactly 4*2 +2*1) two fancy ones and just plain ones.
*Evenning meals:managed to stick to plan because one morning I wake up earlier and had a cooking frenzy to manage to stick to plan...why on earth did we want to g swimming...damn, then, you have no time for cooking that evening!
Failed in blogging the bentos. Even with one week of difference, I just cannot. I have the photos of four of them, but I guess one has to wait next month before having them on my blog. Just too much for me.
I don't know how to upload pictures here, but my bentos are on flickr :-) (maruchan2008). Here's the report of week 2!
It was much more fun than week 1, maybe because things in preparing the bento are getting a little smoother and I was able to pre-plan some staples to use the first half of the week. My goals and achievements, step by step:
:: making healthier bentos using season and locally grown vegetables, with a good balance of proteins, carbs and vegetables/fruits.
>Two out of five bentos I prepared were not that well-balanced, but I used a smaller container to pack my lunch so I managed to eat less (from 900ml containet to 700/670 ml, and I hope to use an even smaller one, a 460 ml Totoro bento I ordered today :-). Bento n.5, the one with pasta, had too much carbs in it, but considering that before the challenge, I used to fill ALL the container with pasta and nothing else, well, I consider it an improvement anyway! As for the season and local vegetables, I did well!
:: making one bento more than you did the previous week, that is 4+1 for me
>Did it!
:: loss of weight
>I replaced the loss of weight part with my personal goal of using a smaller lunchbox, which I did every day with no suffering.
::I usually fill the bento box in the evening, while preparing dinner or after dinner. My other goal was to prepare at least two bentos in the early morning before going out to work.
>I managed to prepare only one in the morning so I guess I need to work on the planning and mise-en-place and, not less important, I need to get the kitchen and the refrigerator more 'bento-oriented'!!
It was real fun, though!!! I used things I had at home and some fresh vegetables like the red chicory my aunt gave me and I did not have to shop a lot for food. I had to throw away three carots and some pumpkin and I'm not at all satisfied with it althought I wasted less than usual, but I really want to get better and better on this point because I hate wastes of any kind!
In the "How too" section there is a post about posting pictures. Maybe this will help
I did pretty well last week, and have a wrap-up on my blog.

Week 2 Report:
I managed to plan and make a bento for all five days last week. Photos will be posted to the flickr group as soon as I get back home to my camera. They were all fairly balanced, I believe, but I do not have a good calorie estimate for all of them. I pulled up my old FitDay account and started to check on the calorie content of the bento, but did not find the time to finish that.
Exercise was more successful than Week 1. The goal was 3x per week and I exercised 2x.
On to Week 3!

rea1025 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 180 diseños de 41 diseñadores freelance.
We are a husband/wife team that got tired of our 2 preschool kids coming home and having no clue what they did at school that day. There's just something unsettling about spending tons of money each month for tuition and hearing 'We played' from our kids! Well, in an attempt to get more involved with the school, we realized just how out of touch they were. Other parents complained about the same thing. So we built an awesome web app that vastly improves upon the antiquated paper-driven business practices at small schools. No more annoying paper forms stuffed in our kids' backpacks. Everything is now web-based. On the communication side, we have built a personalized website where parents can login and see exactly what happened at school that day. This includes classroom lesson plans, progress reports, pictures, online videos, calendar, etc.
This app really helps to bridge the gap between the school and the home, keeping everyone in the loop regarding the child's education. This was originally built for our own needs, but the feedback has been so overwhelmingly positive (especially from other parents) that we are taking it to the next level. We will begin offering this product to many other schools in the fall and need a really cool logo to help make that always important GREAT first impression!
Initial target will be small private preschools in the USA. Eventually, we envision this being an international business that provides outstanding web-based software to schools around the world. Preschools at first, evolving into K-12 in the near future.
We will be marketing the application under 2 (possibly 3) different brands - - PreschoolBuddy.com, MontessoriBuddy.com, and SchoolHouseBuddy.com.
The logo will be the same for all. So for the comps, just use PreschoolBuddy.com. The winning designer will need to send me the identical logo for all 3 domains.
We are seeking something fun, energetic, happy, etc. The marketing campaign will be very light-hearted. We don't want anything too corporate-like. Will consider a variety of icons to accompany the logo. Needs to be something that indicates child success, growth, happiness, learning, etc. Also could attempt to convey the idea of 'connecting' school/home, building a bridge, etc. Modernized versions of generic school/child images (i.e. schoolhouse, children, sunshine, happy face, owl, etc.) We are VERY open to creative ideas!
See the attached PDF to view the color scheme. Please match these colors as close to 100% as possible.
Thanks for reading and GOOD LUCK in this contest!!

By Kent
Here I am again, doing the airport shuffle. Those old familiar feelings of anxiety and excitement brew as I get ready for my first international trip of the year. I hate airports, flying, leaving my family and home, but I love new places and people so I deal…
I get off the plane and go through customs. Going through customs is always a stressful time for me; I'm sure all tattooers agree. I meander through crowds of people in an airport I have never been to before, dazed from lack of sleep until I at last find the train. As always I board the train with only the name of my hotel, no address or phone number –why do I always do this to myself? Is it my stoner brain getting back at me, or is it an unconscious decision to put myself in awkward positions?
After a 45-minute ride the train pulled into the station, I can actually see the hotel –phew… Off to take a rest and then go to Magnum Opus to visit with Phil Kyle and Dan Sinnes, who was guest spotting at Phil's shop and also featured in TAM issue #24.
Phil's shop was about a 10-minute walk from the hotel so I actually get to see some of Brighton. When I arrived Dan and Phil greet me with "hellos" and various party favors, it's so nice to finally properly relax after the long trip over. That day Dan did three sweet, little tats: an owl, a "pussy monster" and a "penis monster." His little sex monsters and penis ghosts are becoming a part of his signature work.
Friday was one of the best days I have had in a while. I woke up and walked down to the beach, which is about a 15-minute stroll from my hotel. I sat on the beach, smoked and then walked over to the Coney Island-style pier where I sat and listened to the first Black Sabbath album in its entirety –a pretty amazing and relaxing experience… Who says you can't meditate to Black Sabbath!?
I stopped at a restaurant on the way back and I could tell the town was starting to fill up with us. Groups of artists from all over the world started to pop up in small clusters –I love seeing this it is a concentration of massive amounts of artistic inspiration and energy in one area for a few days. Really gets your energy going!
Over the next few days I worked the Brighton tattoo convention, which was held at a horse raceway. It was on top of a huge hill in Brighton that overlooked the hilltops and ocean. It was seriously one of the prettiest convention venues I have been to… The only negative was the breeze coming off the ocean, which made it a bit difficult to sit and enjoy the view.
Woody, the convention's promoter, did an excellent job of putting this convention together. It was full of amazing artists such as Alex Reinke, Into You Tattoo, Magnum Opus, Danny Boy, Steve Burlton, Todd Noble, Robert Hernandez and the list goes on. The caliber of artists at this convention matched some of the larger shows over seas (including the London and Milan shows). I got to see a lot of my friends from overseas, eat some amazing food, meet some awesome new friends, and as always see some fucking sweet tats!
I would like to thank Woody for being such an accommodating host, Dan for putting up with my shenanigans and Phil for throwing a killer party.
Oh, I have one question for all of you; is C-lo a universal phenomenon? It seems that people everywhere had dice in their pocket eager to play.
See you soon… Back on the road in a few days…

Silly Promotional Stunt Lawsuit Against CBS For 'Profiting From Piracy' Dropped
from the there-goes-that-plan dept
The lawsuit has been dropped entirely. Of course, most of the hot air deflated from the suit when David and his co-plaintiffs had trouble listing out any actual copyrights that were infringed. They finally dug up one movie and five songs, but the original strong claims were severely weakened. David's lawyer insists that they'll refile the lawsuit with more people and more infringement claims, but I still can't see the lawsuit getting anywhere at all.


text: I have searched high and low here and with google, and I'm about to give up. I've installed the perfect server for ubuntu 12.04 LTS with ISPconfig3 which I also have on another server, and think it's awesome. I'm getting the response "forbidden" no matter what page I'm trying to get served. I expect to get the "It works" or the welcome page you guys have custumized. Usually ISPconfig works right out of the box. I have changed the port for the control panel to 8000 instead of 8080, (and it took me a while to realize that it is necessary to open that port from within ISPconfig as well. Otherwise it is impossible to reach the control panel after a reboot). And I've been looking in /var/log/apache2/error.log where I get this line for every attempt: [Mon Aug 27 12:54:52 2012] [error] [client x.x.x.x] client denied by server configuration: /etc/apache2/htdocs But there are no htdocs anywhere on the machine!?? So the info is of no help. What am I missing?

American Family Association Files Lawsuit Against Unconscionable HHS Mandate
Feb 20, 2013, 03:27 ET
Lawsuit Seeks Injunction Declaring Requirement to Provide Insurance for Abortions Unconstitutional
TUPELO, Miss., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, Liberty Institute and the Center for Religious Expression on behalf of their client, American Family Association (AFA), filed a lawsuit against the federal government's HHS Mandate in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, Aberdeen Division. AFA is a national distinctly Christian, non-profit organization based in Tupelo, Miss., whose mission is to speak out on moral issues in American society. To view the lawsuit online visit: https://www.libertyinstitute.org/document.doc?id=47.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120523/DC12743LOGO-b)
The lawsuit, The American Family Association v. Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, contends that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' requirements mandating insurance coverage to its employees, which include provision of abortion-inducing drugs and related educational counseling, unconstitutionally coerces AFA to violate its religious convictions and mission under threat of heavy fines and penalties. Specifically, the HHS Mandate violates the First and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act.
"The mandate is an amoral affront to the very conscience and biblical principles on which the American Family Association was founded," said Tim Wildmon, President of the American Family Association. "We feel betrayed by the abuse of government power that forces us to violate our deeply held religious beliefs and practices by funding the taking of innocent life."
Nate Kellum, Chief Counsel for the Center for Religious Expression, said, "The White House could have easily provided religious organizations like the American Family Association with an exemption, like they do with churches, but decided instead to compel these organizations to facilitate a practice they find repugnant and contrary to their missions. We cannot accept empty gestures like this."
Jeff Mateer, General Counsel for Liberty Institute said, "The new proposed HHS rule misleads faith-based groups and all Americans into believing they will no longer have to provide objectionable insurance for birth control and abortion-inducing drugs. The Obama Administration dwarfs previous administrations in its egregious disrespect for the religious liberty rights of para-church ministries, like the American Family Association, by continuing to force them to provide and pay for insurance coverage to which they have religious objections."
Liberty Institute is a nonprofit legal group dedicated to defending and restoring religious liberty across America — in our schools, for our churches and throughout the public arena. Liberty's vision is to reestablish religious liberty in accordance with the principles of our Founding Fathers. For information, visit www.LibertyInstitute.org.

A giant replica of a Roman aqueduct glows warmly outside the windows of the Pelican Grill. Backlit by the fading twilight of a December evening along the Newport Beach coast, it's a symbol of the same idea tonight that it was thousands of years ago: the luxury of personal service.
Of course, the arching design originally brought water to the lucky denizens of ancient Rome. But as it ran through the countryside to its eventual destination, it was a reminder to others of just how well the Romans had it over everyone else. Here, it's a walkway between the restaurant and a world-class golf course. It's also the entry point to Newport's The Resort at Pelican Hill. The point is the same.
On our side of the window, I'm boring my girlfriend with this historical detail while I sip tortilla soup and she samples the ahi appetizer at the Pelican Grill. I'm here in search of why the resort was voted tops on the U.S. mainland by Conde Nast Traveler readers in 2011. It just picked up the "Grand Resort" honoree in the January issue of Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report as well. I have another delicious spoonful of soup and mull over that aqueduct thing some more.
The things that separate Pelican Hill from a Holiday Inn are obvious. And at a glance, it was also clear what separates a resort from a five-star hotel. But what puts a place like Pelican Hill over the top from other high-end resorts – I mean the difference between first and second or third – simply required more time.
This started several hours earlier when we arrived at The Spa. My girlfriend went off for her Amber Gold Signature Massage and I headed for the sauna. Trying to see through the eyes of other travelers in the poll, I fixated over the matter of degree.
As I defrosted alone in the quiet of the sauna, I take a mental inventory of the toiletries available on the bathroom counter and I'm already kind of missing the point. Relaxing in the lounge area of the spa after a little time in the whirlpool or Acqua Colonnade and a friendly chat with one of the attendants, I begin lightening up. A lot. And work on a theory.
The ocean view bungalows look over the red tile rooftops of the resort, whose design is influenced by 16th century Italian architect Andrea Palladio, providing the distinct feel of a seaside Italian village. What's perhaps more important is the sense of seclusion and quiet. Though Pacific Coast Highway is just down the hill and we're bookended by Newport Beach proper to the north and Laguna Beach to the south, we might as well be in Avalon. Not long ago, some cast members of the TV show "Glee" hung out here and the combination of seclusion, seaside views and service had to be keys in drawing these and other celebrities and even royalty.
The Italian theme continues inside the bungalows, though it's never overplayed. Beneath the high open beam ceilings, rooms are comfortably modern and feature high-end amenities like extra large showers and bathtubs, dual vanity, fully stocked snack bar, flat-screen TV, DVD/CD players, and fireplace. As we watched the sun set over Catalina, the space felt laid back and comfortable, and with the fire roaring at night, it was warm and cozy.
Maybe the best thing about the Pelican Grill was not our salmon and sea bass, tender and delectable though it was, but how suitably Orange County the experience. Certainly upscale enough for a resort but designed to be also casual enough for lunch after the 18th hole. For the more formal dining experience, Andrea Ristorante & Bar was just a few minutes away next to the spa and concierge. And at the other end of the spectrum, the Caffe offered quick snacks, but more on that later.
We wandered over to the Great Room, as it's called, for an after-dinner drink. We sat at an outer corner to take in the usual Saturday night music scene as we waited for our cocktails. I expected a lowly tinkerer at the piano, playing to a largely empty room and indifferent audience. But this was festive. Next to a luminous Christmas tree a tight band covered well-crafted pop hits to a crowd that was remarkably engaged with the band and each other, talking and laughing in the overstuffed sofas, knocking back their martinis and getting up to cut the rug ever third song or so.
The next morning, the Coliseum Pool and Grill is cleaning up their breakfast buffet as we rush in. The waitress agrees to extend the breakfast menu a few minutes for us and I inhale one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had and a perfectly pulpy glass of orange juice.
We check out of our room and head to the Caffe, near the concierge for some gelato. We indulge in a few samples before we each decide on a cone. The dessert has really lived up to the hype. Fresh and flavorful, if a frozen treat is this good in December, I might make a pilgrimage back during the summer. As we look out the Caffe windows over the 18th Hole and Pacific Ocean, we're adding things up to see if that theory was right.
Again, all the key ingredients are here to place Pelican Hill into elite status for American resorts: location, design, PGA-quality golf course, spa and pool, restaurants, Camp Pelican for the kids, and the even higher end private villas up the hill from the bungalows that provide a certain resort-within-the-resort feel that attract the celebrities.
What ultimately sets Pelican Hill apart is the variety of ways you could personalize your visit, whether you were staying for the night or for the year. In big ways and little ways, the degree with which one could be pampered seemed almost laughably infinite, where staff could provide any service that wasn't "immoral, unethical or illegal," we were told. I think that's what experienced travelers in the poll voted for.
Back to the aqueduct thing one more time.
There's still a lot of the original Roman work standing. Good ideas last and personal service is one of them. I don't know if the Romans invented it, but based on personal service, they would have voted for Pelican Hill too.
Pelican Hill Tips:
*The resort offers a variety of packages, and those are usually the best way to go in finding excellent deals to the resort for holidays or special occasions. Typically rates are cheaper during the week as well. Always check the website before you book.
*Hotel insiders recommend asking for tables number 14 or 20 at the Coliseum Pool & Grill for meals. It offers the best combination of quiet and views.
*If you book a poolside cabana during the warmer months (highly recommended), insiders also say cabana number nine has the best ocean view.

At Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), we understand that you may want to see information regarding the survival results of patients with distant (also referred to as metastatic) non-small cell lung cancer who were diagnosed and/or at least initially partly treated at our hospitals to help you and your family decide where to go for treatment, as part of many other factors you may be considering. Therefore, we asked an independent biostatistician to analyze the survival results of CTCA® patients. Click here to review qualifications of the independent researchers.
The chart below reflects the CTCA and SEER survival rates for non-small cell lung cancer patients with distant (metastatic) disease who were diagnosed between 2000 and 2015. It includes estimates of the percentage of non-small cell lung cancer patients with distant (metastatic) disease who survived for six months to five years after the initial diagnosis, as recorded in the CTCA and SEER databases.
*The SEER data represent national results over a large number of institutions and have been included for illustrative purposes. They are not intended to represent a controlled study and/or a perfect analysis of the CTCA data because of variability in the sample sizes of the two databases, the clinical condition(s) of the patients treated, and other factors.
The CTCA sample is relatively small because only metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients who had been initially diagnosed at CTCA and/or received at least part of their initial course of treatment at CTCA were included. These factors significantly reduced the size of the CTCA sample, which means that the estimates reflected in the survival chart may be subject to high variation and may not be replicated in the future when we have a larger CTCA sample for analysis.
For a full, technical explanation of the methodology used in the analyses and a detailed description of the CTCA and SEER patient groups included, click here to view statistical methodology, and for more information about the SEER program, go to seer.cancer.gov.
We also want to be sure you understand that cancer is a complex disease and each person's medical condition is different; therefore, CTCA makes no claims about the efficacy of specific treatments, the delivery of care, nor the meaning of the CTCA and SEER analysis. Not all cancer patients who are treated at a CTCA hospital may experience these same results.
We understand you may be feeling overwhelmed with questions and concerns about your type of cancer and what it all means. We're here to help guide you through the process.

The Russian TV network already has English, Arabic and Spanish language broadcast and soon, Hungarian will be also available writes the journalist.
Lovas wrote an open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin last year asking the Russian president to help launching RT Hungarian-language news service to counterbalance biased western reporting on Hungarian politics. The journalist reasoned that despite the size of our country the corporate media flooding the world with unbalanced news reports on Hungary; therefore, there is a need for a balanced and credible news coverage of our country.

A legend is someone who leaves a legacy. The Eric Marshall Legacy Award celebrates the positive and lasting legacy Eric L. Marshall, a 2007 alumnus, left on the Wofford community. While at Wofford, Eric was an extraordinary influence for many students. As a star athlete on the basketball team, he founded Souljah's for Christ, a student led Bible study that is still active today. He was a humble man, committed husband, and a devoted father. Many still say his character exemplified the type of moral excellence that continues to transcend his absence today. To honor Eric and recognize another who is following in his footsteps, the Senior class would like for you to nominate one Senior student of color who emulates his legacy by demonstrating: noble leadership, sincerity, a pure servant's heart, trustworthiness, honesty, citizenship and love for humankind. By doing so, you are not only remembering a legend, but continuing an indefinite legacy.Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things

Difference between revisions of "Daegu"
Revision as of 11:32, 13 February 2011
Daegu (대구, 大邱), also spelled Taegu, is the third largest city in South Korea.
Dubbing itself "Colorful Daegu", Daegu is a fairly grey city situated in the middle of a wide, flat valley. Thus it is quite literally rectangular in shape, with the subway system forming a stretched X over this region. Plays host to one of South Korea's largest US military bases.
To learn more about the city, you can borrow a PDA from Tourist Information Center at Daegu Airport, Daegu Tourist Information Center and some hotels for your trip. It contains tourist information such as maps, transportation, tourist sites, accomandation, restaurants and shopping, and GPS service. In addition, it also provides usful expressions in Korean, English and Japanese, and has a '119' key which will be used for emergencies. If you have a local ID card (or passport) and credit card, you can use the PDA for free but you need to pay a communications fee. Tel :053-803-3633 [1].
Get in
By plane
Daegu Airport [2] (TAE/RKTN) has some services to Seoul, Jeju, China, Philippines and Bangkok. The airport is quite small and shared with the Airforce.
It is located in eastside of the city. To go to the downtown area, there is a bus (No. 401, Fare: W1,100) and you can also ride a taxi. (Dongsungro district(Centre of the city/fare around W7,000, 25min), Dongdaegu train station (Around W3,000, 10min)).
There is a hotel, Hotel Airport [3] in the same area. The roomrate is usually from around W130,000 including tax.
By train
There are two train stations in the city. One is Dongdaegu(East Daegu) station and the other is Daegu station. Both two stations connect by Subway Line 1, as the same name.
It is the main, larger station. Note that KTX trains stop only at this station. KTX trains connect Seoul to Busan via Daegu and Daejeon, usually they take an hour and 40 minutes to Seoul and 38 to 44 minutes to Busan. They are usually in every 20~30 minutes. The fare to Seoul is W36,600, Busan is W10,800 and Daejeon is W16,100. (At the time of June 2008) There are other trains such as Saemaeul and Mugunghwa. They also go to Seoul and Busan. (Gyeongbu line) But you can go to other places from this station. There are trains to Yeongcheon and Pohang, Gyeongju, Ulsan and Haeundae.(Haeundae is a very famous beach in Busan city)
It is located in the centre of the city(Dongsungro/Jungangro). The station is a complex building with Lotte department store(the largest domestic department chain). Only Saemaeul and Mugunghwa trains stop at this station. Because of its location, it is easy to access to the downtown(5 to 10 min by walk) or other places of the city.
For travelling by train, visit an Official website of Korail. [4] It provides Timetables, fare, and some informations around their stations.
By car
1. Gyungbu highway located between Daejun and Kyong Ju
By bus
There is an extensive intercity bus system in South Korea. Buses go directly from Daegu to Seoul in just under 4 hrs. They only have 3 seats in a row allowing for larger and more comfortable seats than on a normal North American bus.
Get around
By subway
Daegu has a two-line subway network that intersects at the main downtown stop Banwoldang. Line 1 ( red line) runs from Daegok to Anshim and Line 2 ( green line) runs from Munyang to Sawol. Stops are announced in both Korean and English. Subways typically run from 5:30am to 11:30pm. Tickets can be purchased from machines or at a customer service booths. To enter the subway, scan your token and HOLD ON TO IT because you will need to insert your token as you exit. There are ticket machines marked " complimentary tickets" but these are for people with specific ID cards.
Daegu has its own specific transportation card that in addition to being completely and utterly useless outside of Daegu, cannot even be interchaged with a Seoul T-money, Daejeon Hankkumi nor Busan Mybi within the city bounds.
By taxi
Taxis are cheap and easy to find. Be aware that people in Daegu do not use street addresses. To give directions, you should give the nearest landmark to your destination such as a department store, hotel, or movie theater.
By tour bus
Daegu operates a City Tour Bus that passes by many cultural remains and otherwise touristy places. It is open year-round and operates from 10:00 everyday departing from Daegu Tourist Information Center, Dongdaegu Train Station and Banwoldang. It costs about 5,000 won for an adult with dicsounted fares for school students.
Palgongsan : Pangongsan is a mountain located north-east of Daegu and about 20km from downtown. It's central peak is Birobong which is 1,192m above sea level and also has other peaks such as Dongbong and Seobong. Although it belongs to Daegu City, it contains four other cities and its total size is 30,593km². It looks like a sacred ground of Buddhism because there are many Buddhist statues, pagodas and rock cliffs Buddhas in Palgong Mountain. Gatbawi is a Buddhist statue located on the top of mount Palgongsan which is believed to grant one's wish once in a life and attracts visitors from the whole country.
Hiking trails of Palgongsan:
Other parks include Bongmu Reports Park between Daegu Airport and the entrance of Palgong Mountain, it has playgrounds and equipment for tennis, Jokku, badminton, shooting and so on; you can enjoy of outdoor variety sports.
Not only the Palgong Mountain, but also Apsan Park, Woobang Tower Land, Daegu Arboretum, Mangwoo Park, Gyeongsan-gamyeong Park and Gukchaebosang Memorial Park are also good sightseeing. And if you arrive in downtown, Dongsungro, you can enjoy shopping for jewelry and clothes and visiting Kyodong Market and Seomoon Market add you more fun.
Nightlife is usually found outside the main universities (Kyungpook, Keimyung) and in the downtown area (Banwoldang). Banwoldang is where the greatest concentration of foreign restaurants lies, and weekend nights are filled with people shopping, walking, or sitting in the innumerable pubs, coffee shops, and cafes.
Like all Korean cities, Daegu has numerous job openings for ESL / EFL teachers at public schools and private academies. Most teaching jobs require applicants to be a native English speaker and to have a three- or four-year college degree. Salaries for teaching jobs generally start between 2.0 and 2.5 million Korean Won per month and often include free housing and round-trip airfare. Many foreigners instruct at the numerous universities in Daegu as well, but these positions will usually require graduate degrees.
For more information about teaching English in Korea through the priavte-sector, visit eslcafe.com, worknplay.co.kr, eslstarter.com and englishspectrum.com. For the public-sector, visit epik.go.kr.
You can find a place to eat anywhere you go in Daegu for any price range, however, the lack of diversity of cuisines makes it hard to find a good place to eat if you are looking for more than just Korean food, burger, or pasta.
For those with special dietary needs, Daegu has a considerable number of the Loving Hut chain of organic, vegan, new pseudo-religious group-run restaurants. The one outside the National University of Education (literally outside the central gate and on the left, 5 minutes from the subway) is probably the most central. Check the website for listings.[[5]]
"Love Hotels" are very common in Daegu and Korea and are usually found near nightclubs, train stations, or downtown areas. They will often have red neon hearts or other obvious signage. Love hotels are often used by the sort of clientele who rent by the hour, but are quite safe and offer cheap, convenient, albeit spartan accommodation. Basic rooms might be below 30,000 but for the real experience some rooms will have the full porn-set treatment such as heart-shaped beds or whirlpool baths.
Union Tourist Hotel: The Union Tourist Hotel is located just west of Daegu station. Rates are between 38,000 and 50,000 Won per night. The rooms are fairly large and clean but somewhat old, and the bathrooms, especially the bathtubs, are in need of remodeling. Nevertheless, it is a quiet, comfortable, and affordable place to stay. If you call to reserve a room, you receive a discount. Front desk number: 053-252-2221.
LifeSpa, a short taxi ride from Jincheon subway station. It might be best to ask for 'Oncheon', or follow a map from the website, http://www.lifespa.kr/page_lifespa5.php. This is a jjimjilbang in west Daegu, near to the west bus terminal, Woobang Tower Land and Duryu Park. The entry fee, under 10,000 WON, includes access to a large bathing area and impressive hot rooms. There are provincially themed rooms including Mungyeong and Gyeongju rock. One scorchingly hot room has a carriage of rocks on tracks that seem to have come from a great subterranean forge. There is a snow room, which is far more impressive than most jjimjilbang ice rooms, with falling snow from above. Unfortunately, this room can look a little ransacked if it has hosted families or drunks in the evening. There are small male and female sleeping rooms, but the open sleeping areas are fairly quiet too. The provision of sleeping mats is much worse than in most jjimjilbangs. The baths and saunas are large and impressive. There are several standard pools, a big cooled pool where kids enjoy swimming, a great pine steam sauna and a traditional hot spring room with cold fresh air. The PC room is large and in good repair, there is a restaurant and a rooftop garden and there are far more television screens than could possibly be necessary.
Of course someone not on a tight budget will be able to stay at the better hotels in Daegu. Readers are cautioned though that what go as deluxe hotels in Daegu are not much better than "motel6".
The nicest hotel in Daegu is probably Hotel the Inter-Burgo, which is far out of the city center.
The next is probably the Walker Lodge, but is only for military.
Others include:
Eldis Regent: drawbacks include small parking lot that is overfilled at any event (weddings), usually weekends, but clears out in evening. Also rare for a taxi driver to recognize the name, expect to show a map or give directions from the Prince (nearby).
Prince: almost any taxi driver knows when you ask for the Prince Hotel. Parking area seems smaller than the others but generally with less trouble. Standard rooms are fairly large but many seem a bit run down. Water coolers in the hallways save on bottled water. Wireless internet reception varies.
Grand: Rooms roughly the same as the Prince. Has a parking garage but often a tight squeeze.
Daegu Garden: Rooms said to be not as nice as the Prince or Grand, is near a more active nightlife area.
Novotel Daegu City Center: Located in the main downtown area of Daegu, this is the only major international chain hotel in the city of Daegu.
Stay safe
Like the rest of Korea, all of Daegu is safe at any time of the day. However, westerners, especially minorities or men with Korean women, may encounter hostility from drunken men, but this is increasingly rare. The water is safe, but newcomers with sensitive stomachs should be prudent with street food or with the spice levels. Be aware that ATM machines close before midnight if you need late-night drinking money.
Korean taxi drivers may drive somewhat maniacally but they are usually very honest and being cheated on fares is highly uncommon.

The everyone-knows-your-name atmosphere of this hometown caf�, according to owner Melonie Smith, is "like Cheers without the beer."
DUNDEE | The everyone-knows-your-name atmosphere of this hometown caf�, according to owner Melonie Smith, is "like Cheers without the beer."
Smith has spent the last 32 years creating that environment as the sole proprietor of Melonie's Caf�.
Thirty-two years ago, her father, Don Heverly, discovered the space along Main Street and Smith snapped it up for $255 a month for rent.
"He wanted to make sure I had something to fall back on in case my singing career didn't work out," said the Pennsylvania native. "But, at the time, I was looking at it just as a hobby."
The Realtor said they would be out of business in less than four months and that no one had ever been successful in that location. That pessimistic attitude didn't rub off on the duo, who opened the doors of Melonie's Caf� in 1980.
Years earlier, Smith said her mother, Helen, sent her to college thinking she would starve to death. But Smith had a secret up her sleeve and soon put her natural talent to work in restaurants at a Marriott and a Ramada Inn. She graduated from Florida International University in Miami with a business degree and an eye on stardom.
For 18 months after the caf� opened, Smith led the double life of restaurateur by day and successful Disney singer by night. Business was good and customers were coming from near and far to enjoy the hometown atmosphere, good food and prices. Her father helped get the business off the ground and then stepped aside, knowing his daughter had a keen business sense.
"I have always felt more like a businesswoman than a cook," Smith said. "Because I do everything for the restaurant except electrical … other than that, I can do it all, from payroll to purchasing to mainte-nance."
She contributes the success largely to the fact she is a working owner and always there. This allows her to ensure there is no theft, no waste and, most importantly to the customers, consistency in the food and service.
"People want consistency. When you find something you like to eat at a restaurant, you go back there for it. Customers want the same thing that they liked the last time they were here," she said. "My customers know what they are getting."
What they are getting most likely has a catchy name and may have even been created for a customer. One of the most popular dishes was specially created years ago for two regulars who put their request into Smith at the grill.
Longtime favorite breakfast dishes, Fireman's Stir Fry and Fire Chief's Stir Fry, are named after brothers Ronnie and Jeff Tancretti, who wanted all the breakfast items put together in one dish.
Smith and her husband live in Dundee, and she said running the business hasn't been a cakewalk. She was severely injured in an accident several years ago. Her husband stepped in to help at the restaurant during that time, but her parents already had passed away. Overcoming the physical and emotional pain made Smith the person she is today, she said.
And that person is a much happier businesswoman, boss to five employees and restaurant owner. She also ensures, as always, to know her customers and what they want and like.
Richard Howarth, 66, has been a regular customer of Melonie's since 2004, visiting six days a week.
"I like the atmosphere. I have my own table in the back and they have my drink ready for me," Howarth said. "Melonie is a great person and a hard worker. She makes everyone feel welcome."
Howarth is a perfect example of one of Smith's philosophies: "If we get you once, you'll be back."

Star nomination[edit]
OK, after my 20-odd nit-picking edits today and a thorough map update, I think this article is finally up to star status. Again, there are a few photos I have in mind to add/substitute, but I'll have to wait until I'm back in the area to take them, and the article doesn't need them anyway.
