SarahThompsonA little off route  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Dec 3, 2017

We did a variation of the route that has come to be known as Beau Knows, accidentally climbing a different first pitch (which was climbers right of the standard first pitch). The pitch was no harder than 5.8 but left us nowhere good. We rapped partway down off a single old piton and then traversed left to gain the first bolted anchor. The beginning of that 2nd pitch is spicy!

Climbed both Noddles again with Mike and Lauren. Climbed P1 of North in snow but got lucky that the sun came out just long enough to finish the route. South climbed in graupel and buzzing cams. We replaced Jeremy's old plastic coffee register on North with an ammo can. Should last much longer now. Also placed an ammo can register on South. Good fun.

Krapp's Last Tape Planned for Sheffield

Date Posted: 31/01/14

Krapp's Last Tape Planned for Sheffield

Starting June 25th this year, Krapp's Last Tape, a one-man -play by Samuel Beckett, is set to open at the Crucible Studio, Sheffield.

Daniel Evans, the artistic director of Sheffield Theatres, gave word earlier this month that Richard Wilson (One Foot in the Grave, Merlin) would be appearing in this production, which will be performed until July 19th this year.

Wilson is Sheffield Theatre's associate director, and a production of Love Your Soldiers that he directed recently appeared in the city.

Polly Findlay is directing Krapp's Last Tape - her directing work has previously been seen in Sheffield in the 2012 production of A Taste of Honey at the Crucible.

Krapp's Last Tape focuses on the character of Krapp who, on the day he turns 69, plays a recording he made three decades before.

The play could be a great reason to consider short breaks in Sheffield, perhaps especially for fans of Beckett, one of the world's most respected playwrights whose other works include Waiting for Godot.

Oil Tank Installation in NJ & PA

Whether you need to replace an old oil tank or install a new one in your home or business in NJ or PA, Superior Tank has the knowledge, experience and high-quality products you demand. Our installations are performed by a crew of courteous, well-trained, technicians who will answer your questions as they arise and talk you through the installation process as they are completing the job. Our oil tank replacement services also cover NJ, Philadelphia, and surrounding areas as well.

Tank manufacturers offer many different tank sizes, coatings, and configurations. Superior stocks every model available for fast reliable service. With a fully stocked inventory and efficient service, Superior Tank is the name you can depend on for oil tank replacement and tank pump-outservices. The variety of services we offer include:

Above Ground Tanks

Basement Oil Tank Replacement and Installation

All new basement tanks are installed in accordance with all local and NFPA codes. They are made of 12 gauge steel. New fill and vent pipes are installed from the tank to the exterior of the building. The fill and vent pipes are painted to stop corrosion and for aesthetics. The tank will be equipped with a new oil level gauge and a vent alarm to prevent overfilling. A new oil line will be run overhead from the tank to the heater. A new fusible firomatic valve and a new oil filter will be installed at no additional charge. For an oil tank emergency service when your basement tank is leaking fuel, we will provide an immediate response at all times of the day.

Exterior Oil Tank Replacement and Installation

All exterior tanks are installed in accordance with all local and NFPA codes. They can be purchased in sizes ranging from 120 gallons all the way up to 330 gallons. Every new tank comes with a warranty ranging from 10 to 30 years, depending on which model was purchased. Superior installs all varieties of these tanks. All exterior tanks are installed on 24″ x 36″ x 2″ precast concrete pads. In order for us to create a suitable base for these concrete pads we will clear away all grass and level the dirt in the area where the tank will be installed. We will then spread out 3/4″ clean stone and place the concrete pads on top of the stone. This process ensures that the tank has an attractive, solid and safe base to sit on. All tanks come with a new oil level gauge and a vent alarm to avoid overfilling. The fill and vent pipes will be painted to protect them from the elements.

Skid Tanks Replacement and Installation

Skid tanks are a good solution if you require a tank that is larger than 330 gallons. Skid tanks start at 500 gallons and can go up to 5000 gallons. They come in single or double wall configurations. Skid tanks are usually installed in commercial applications where a larger fuel supply is needed. Superior can pour custom concrete pads to set these tanks on. When these tanks are installed in areas subject to vehicle traffic they are required to be protected by concrete filled bollards. We install the bollards too!

Under Ground Tank Replacement and Installation

Installing an underground tank is a good choice for someone who has no room for an above ground tank and wants their oil tank to be out of sight and out of the way.  For your convenience, we provide underground tank removalservices before installation. Underground tanks range in size from 275 gallons to 10,000 gallons. They can be single wall or double wall. These tanks can be coated with fiberglass to increase longevity. All underground tanks are factory tested to 6 psi to ensure they are leak free. During installation we will also pressure test the tank again to 3 psi to ensure oil lines and fill/vent pipes are leak free. These tanks are installed with vent alarms to help prevent overfilling the tank.

SUP Fishing

SUP - General
The Boards
The Fishing Tackle

Stand UP Paddle Boarding

Why fish from a Paddle Board?
Good question, surely you will just fall off and maybe even loose your fishing rod?  No the larger boards are quite stable and in calm condition you should not fall off. The easiest way to answer the above question is to list the pros and cons of SUP fishing.

Area - The ability to cover a lot of water and find the fish even when they are few and far between.
Vision - Standing on the board you have much better vision into the water than someone lower down sat in a kayak. This is especially important for “sight fishing”.
Nature - The above point also has the benefit of letting you see a lot more wildlife in and on the water.
Ease - Easy access onto the water, no slipway required.
Access – The ability to get into secluded hard to reach areas on the water.
Depth - The ability to go into very shallow water, much shallower than a float tube.
Quiet - Stealthy quiet approach
Exercise – the effort is similar to that used when walking but uses core muscles which aid overall fitness.
Castability – Standing up you can cast much easier be it with lures or flies.
Versatility – you can use you SUP for fun for all the family, some versions can surf small waves and others you can even put a windsurf sail on. Fishing is only one of the uses of the board.

Weather – the water does need to be reasonably flat. When standing up you get effected by the wind more than in a kayak or canoe. Head winds can be particularly hard work and best tackled by kneeling down if the wind gets very strong.

So as you can see there are a lot more positive reasons to give it a go than negative ones. Let’s go into a bit more detail –

Area – Without putting huge amounts of effort in a Sup travels at about 2 to 3 knts so in a hour you can cover 3miles of coastline or around most lochs/lakes trolling lures or you can get to areas to far by foot or to tricky by boat. In 2 hrs you can travel 6 miles, even on a bad day you are going to go past quite a few fish in that time. Getting them to bite is another matter though.

Vision -  I strongly recommend wearing polarized glasses on all but the dullest days. Polarized glasses cut out surface glare and allow you to see down into the water. Since paddle board fishing I have seen things that I have never seen in 35 years of fishing, such as 5 mackerel following my lure, seals swimming under the board etc. This diagram shows how much better the vision is compared to when sitting in a kayak.

Access – Most boards can be easily carried in one hand, they all have a carrying handle specifically positioned to allow you to carry the board with one hand. The weights of the boards vary a bit but a reasonably fit person should be able to carry the board about a 100 meters with ease, further than that you can use various trolleys or slings. Once at the water edge you don’t require a slipway and once on the water you are free to go where you want (within reason).

Exercise – Just how physical is it? Paddling tends to be at a work rate that you don’t really notice the exercise, only after a few hours do you notice any fatigue. Paddling into a strong head wind is hard work and is best avoided but of course weather can change and sooner or later you will have to paddle into the wind. If you find it too hard work then by simply sitting or kneeling it reduces the area the wind can act on and it becomes a lot easier.

Versatility – Paddle boards are so much more than a fishing platform, you can surf ,  windsurf and go white water rafting on them, you can even race them. It is unlikely that all your family members are going to want to fish from the board but its adaptability cam make it popular across the whole family.

Weather – The wind is the biggest limitation to when you can fish from your SUP, but the weather is ultimately the biggest consideration for any water born activity. Generally on fairly open water paddle boarding becomes hard work in anything over about 5 mph winds. You can still have a good session in stronger winds but you need to take the wind direction into consideration and find a sheltered area. (Safety Note- once the wind gets towards 15 mph it becomes very hard if not impossible to paddle into it standing up. In such conditions you must sit or kneel to reduce the windage. Once kneeling it is possible to make headway into about 20 mph winds but it is hard work and is best avoided.) People sometimes use the wind to their advantage and have a friend drop them off along the coast or at the other end of a lake/loch and then paddle with the wind and providing the water is not too rough you can travel along quite quickly, in fact too quickly for trolling lures. But it is a great way of covering larger distances with minimal effort.

I think the easiest way to learn a bit more about fishing from a paddle board is through some questions and answers, so here you go –

Q. Is it hard to do, won’t I fall in all the time?
A. If you have the right board and use it in the right conditions then after the first hour or so you shouldn’t fall in. Once you have a board, get the hang of it first don’t try to fish off it the very first time. Get a feel for paddling the board and how it behaves underneath you. (Safety note – be prepared to fall in. Be safe wear a wetsuit)

Q. Should I wear a life jacket?
A. If it helps your confidence then initially yes. And of course it depends on your swimming ability.  There are many comfortable buoyancy aids that you could also wear. Be aware of wearing a fishing vest and stuffing all its pockets with fishing tackle. It would hamper your swimming and make getting back on the board more awkward. Also consider if you do fall in without a lifejacket you are much more likely to drop and loose your fishing rod than if you were to fall in wearing a buoyancy aid.

Q. What should I wear?
A. You should start of wearing a wetsuit.  And on your first session even if you haven’t fallen in you should make a point of going into the water just so you can see what it is like getting back on. Not all wetsuits are equal some are only suitable for sunny summer days while others will keep you warm in the depth of winter. Please ask for advice. (Safely note – a wetsuit is a safety item). But to recap – Start in a wetsuit and then as your experience builds you will soon know when its shorts and t-shirt weather and when its winter wetsuit weather.
Avoid cotton t-shirts. If you fall in they are then cold and unpleasant to wear. Wear fast drying clothing such as polypropylene, then if you do get wet they remain reasonable comfortable

Q. The boards look very big, are they heavy?
A. No the average large board weighs about 14kg

Q. What happens if I fall in?
A. With the boards being low in the water they are easy to get back onto.

Q. Can my children use the same board to surf small waves.
A. Yes the most larger boards suitable for fishing off can still catch and ride small waves.

Q. Should I use a leash?
A. At times it may be sensible to wear a leash. It is a personal decision. (safety note – When you fall off to the side of the board the board will be next to you in the water but if you fall off the back or front the board may be pushed away from you by the action of falling. The board can end up 15 meters from you.  You need to consider this when deciding what to wear.
Inflatable boards will drift very fast if you fall off. A leash should be worn if there is any breeze at all.).

Q. Is there a chance I will loose my fishing tackle?
A. There is always that risk but as you will see on the “tackle “ page there are safeguards you can take to make sure your rod and reel don’t end up on the sea bottom.

Q. Do I need a licence or permission to fish?
A. The law is the same whether you are on the shore or a board. You don’t need a licence or permission to fish in the sea but you normally do in fresh water.

Q. Can I take a child out on the front of the board?
A. Yes, any board stable enough to fish from would have enough buoyancy to support an adult and child.

Q. Can I take paddle board lessons?
A. Yes various places offer organised lessons.

Boatschool Kindergarten

When we landed in Sausalito last month after our trip down the coast and I logged onto Facebook for the first time in many days I was bombarded with all the adorable photos of our friends’ children’s first days of school. It hit me that Leah was officially a kindergartener herself and I should probably get busy with a little schooling. I felt a little sad that I won’t ever be dressing Leah up in her new kindergarten outfit and sending her off to her first day of school with tears in my eyes. Although she doesn’t know how to put it in words, I think Leah knows she is missing out on some things too and remembers all the good times she had at our wonderful Coop preschool in Olympia. When I mention school at all, she crosses her arms and closes her eyes, her way of saying she just doesn’t want to talk about it. But the other day, I overheard her telling another adult proudly “I am homeschooled!” when she was asked about where she went to school. With a field trip just about every day, I think she sees the countless advantages of our boatschool kindergarten too.

    1. Sara says:

      It’s definitely a magical way of doing “school” for sure! And the things Leah (and Holly too of course) is learning as we travel…wow. She amazes me everyday with what she picks up from sailing full-time. I’m already over the wistfulness I was feeling a few weeks ago. Still a little nervous about our first homeschool year and just the feeling of being “in charge” of it all. But, it is kindergarten after all. 😉 Just need to have fun, remind myself to relax; the learning just happens as it has for the past almost-6 years together. And this time together is very, very special.

  3. Diane says:

    We were thinking about this the other day–Maia stays in touch with friends she was in school with (k-2) and they were comparing notes. Last year rather than reading where the explorers went–she sailed the same way waters and anchored in the same harbours. And this year rather than simply reading about subsistance economies and sustainable living–she’s visiting isolated communities where it is a part of life. Certainly we’ll miss out on some things–for me it’s not seeing all the kids she’s been friends with growing up. But we still get the ‘class’ plays and musical concerts–they’re just different.

Excerpt 3 From Stanley Booth Interview Series Volume 1: Otis Redding

Posted: Dec 02, 2008

Excerpt #3 From Stanley Booth Interview Series Volume 1

In Mystery And Manners’ ongoing interview series with writer Stanley Booth, Booth discusses spending time with Otis Redding. In excerpt #3 Booth talks about spending time in the studio with Redding, and hearing of his death.

Stanley Booth: …he wanted to fill the silent void that was left by Sam Cooke. That’s what he was aiming at with “Dock of the Bay”. He was trying to do more of a pop sound. Monterrey had a profound effect on them.

James Calemine: They all came back as superstars.

SB: Well, not as much as the European trip. Duck threw his razor away when he got back from Monterrey. Cropper started to grow a beard and let his hair grow. They got hip, which was cool because they needed to step out a little bit and look like musicians. Hell, they are musicians why should they look like filling station attendants? That’s what they looked like when I met them.

JC: Talk about being in the studio while Otis was recording.

SB: It was at 478 South Mclemore in Memphis. Otis never went to Muscle Shoals. He didn’t need to. I was there that whole week. I heard him cut a bunch of things—“Hard To Handle” was one, but he cut five or six songs during the time I was in the studio. He sang the horn parts to the horn players and they’d play it back to him. He was really arranging the whole thing. I would say secondly Al Jackson was arranging because of the way he played drums.

JC: The week you were in the studio with him he was killed…

SB: I flew to New York on Sunday after seeing the WDIA Goodwill Revue on Saturday night with Sam & Dave, Muddy Waters, Carla and Rufus Thomas—it was a helluva night. I flew to New York because I had this gig from Esquire.

Otis’ crash happened on a Sunday. That night I heard the crash happened and Otis was killed. That took the wind out of my sails. The next day—Monday—I went to 1841 Broadway where Atlantic Records had its offices and I met Cream, Joe South, and Ted White-who was married to Aretha. That day I also met Jerry Wexler and Ahmet Ertegun...

Next installment coming soon...yours in soul,

James Calemine

Basic Information About Swords

If you’re in the market for swords, you may plan to use them for one of two purposes: personal use, or decorative display.

When shopping for a sword it is important to understand the differences between display and battle-ready (also known as functional) swords.

Display Swords:

Swords crafted for decorative display purposes are  most commonly crafted out of stainless steel.  This ensures that the sword will not rust and makes display sword ownership affordable.  If you attempt to use your display sword, it may break.

You can choose to hang your sword on the wall using a special sword hanger or place it in a specially made stand. Either way is acceptable and what you choose is a matter of personal preference.

There are a wide variety of display swords available to suit all tastes.  Samurai swords, medieval swords, and Anime swords are just a few of the choices available to you.  You can choose a sword according to design, handle color, length, and more.  There are even swords with jewel-encrusted handles and artistic designed blades.

You don’t want to touch the blade of your stainless steel display sword because the oils from your fingers can cause your sword to look worn and dirty.  Make sure if you keep your sword in a glass display case that you keep the case clean and dust free.  Do not let anyone handle your display sword. To clean your sword simply use a soft cloth and wipe gently.

Functional or Battle-Ready Swords

Functional swords are most often made from carbon or flexible steel.  Carbon steel is a good, sturdy material perfect for mid to high priced functional swords.  Flexible steel may cost more, but offer better performance, bending under strong force.  If your flexible steel functional sword becomes bent, you can have it worked back into shape by a qualified sword professional.

To protect the blade of your functional sword, keep it coated with a light lubricant.  This will help rust from developing.  Keep your hands off the blade as touching it can encourage rusting and wear. Never store your sword in its sheath because the humidity that generates inside the sheath can also cause rust.

If rust does happen to develop on your sword, clean it off quickly.  You can clean the rust off with any commercial metal cleaner.  A good metal polish can keep your blade gleaming.  You may have heard of coating your blade with WD40.  This is not a good idea because WD40 contains certain ingredients that evaporate and leave your blade susceptible to rust.

Never allow children anywhere near your swords.  Be sure to store your sword in a safe place where little ones cannot reach or access them.

Does the SYRLUG have any interest in the BeOS?

I finally got around to installing it on my machine and it's quite impressive.
I'm thinking of taking a crack at porting the driver for my Davicom onboard
NIC to BeOS, so that I can experiment with the OS further on the 'net. From
what I have seen so far, it has exactly what I've wanted in an OS: a speedy,
responsive, fully-graphical single-user interface; *beautiful* anti-aliased
text, nice icons, a browser that isn't crap, and a powerful command-line.
Although the kernel is closed-source, the rest of the OS seems to be "mostly
open," and from what I've heard, easy to develop for. Al has also exclaimed at
one point about the impressiveness of the filesystem design.

Just wondering what "our" stance on BeOS and QNX and possibly Plan 9, HURD,
Mach, etc. was... whether or not we could be called the Syracuse Linux [ and
various other alternative operating systems that work better than Windows in
one way or another ] user group... or if we're the Syracuse Linux [ and
nothing else because Linux r00lz! ] user group? :-)

Either way, (saving face here) I still prefer open and free software over
closed, expensive, and/or proprietary... and I'll still be available to help
people troubleshoot their Linux-based computers at the SYRLUG meets :-)

Just wonderin'

Gustav's Pub & Grill

10350 SW Greenburg Road
Happy Hour: 2 - 6 PM, Monday through Saturday (bar only) and ALL DAY Sundays (everywhere)

Disclaimer: We were invited to attend a special blogger dinner at Gustav's Pub & Grill in Tigard as a part of the restaurant's new winter menu release. We received complimentary food and drinks, but--as always--all of our opinions are our own.

Gustav's has always been a family favorite. It's one of those places that can easily fit a party of ten (regardless of which location you frequent), offers menu items that please each and every family member (even the youngest), and provides a great value for the price paid. Plus, the service is always stellar (despite the special requests, overabundance of questions, and mess left behind when the entire family comes to town). It's an easy go-to every time.

Although I go in wanting the exact same meal (and when I say meal, I mean fondue) every time we go to Gustav's, their menu is always changing. It changes by the seasons--allowing the kitchen staff to make the most of fresh, local ingredients--and it changes, like all things should, to show improvement. Recently, we were invited to attend a special blogger dinner highlighting the new menu items available on their winter menu.

The blogger dinner began with a plate of pretzels and mustard--a perfect start, as we waited for the others to arrive. And although we were invited to take our pick from the cocktail menu, it was obvious that they were attempting to showcase the warm and wintery drinks that would go so well with the new menu items. There were at least four warm drinks listed on the menu--including the Hot Apple Strudel, made with Tuaca, Fireball, and hot apple cider.

The chef was out before long with a warm welcome and a description of the first course. The Schweinshaxe is a brined and roasted ham hock, served with creamy mashed potatoes, beer jus and fresh grated horseradish. While this was well-liked by every meat eater at the table, I happily crunched on a kale salad--topped with fresh apples, blue cheese, and hazelnuts (thanks again, Gustav's, for the special treatment).

The second course included grilled chicken breast, plenty of mushrooms, and a black pepper cream sauce all on top of a mountain of house-made spaetzle. I was especially pleased when the vegetarian alternative included spaetzle as well. Although the texture might not be for everyone, those little German dumplings are a serious comfort food, in my opinion.

The third course was the favorite of the evening, despite its difficult pronunciation. The Hausgemachte Kalbfleischflanzerl, more commonly referred to as pan-seared veal and pork meatballs, were served with a Bavarian potato salad and thinly sliced cucumbers and radishes. It was quite apparent--when looking around the table--that this was the meal people would be returning for, sooner rather than later. After pretzels, cocktails, ham, mashed potatoes, chicken and spaetzle, you'd expect the average foodie to start slowing down. That was not the case with these meatballs. They were just too good to go to waste.

The fourth--but not exactly final--course for the evening was a small sampling of the Bavarian chocolate mouse. Served in a wine glass and topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of espresso beans, this made for the perfect ending to an enjoyable evening.

Before leaving, the chef returned with his final words and a parting gift. As we packed our things to go, we were encouraged to take with us--not only a fresh pretzel sandwich, filled with soft cream cheese and sprinkled with chives--but a full growler. Growlers are the perfect take away, knowing that it can be refilled (at a discount every Monday and Tuesday) again and again. And again.

Although I feel full just thinking about all the food we ate that night, the happy hour menu--with its tiered ricing and variety--has me wanting more. Discounts on both food and drinks are available Monday through Saturday from 2 until 6 PM (in the bar) and again from 9 PM - close (throughout the restaurant). And you can enjoy the low prices all day long on Sundays (again, throughout the entire restaurant). My favorite, the original fondue, is priced at just $6 (down from almost $10 on the regular dinner menu) and the potato pancakes are just four bucks. Drinks are discounted, too, with prices starting as low as three dollars.

Gustav's Pub & Grill on Urbanspoon

2601 NW Vaughn Street
Happy Hour: 4 - 6 PM daily (in the bar only - no minors)

Without happy hour discounts, there's a pretty good chance I would have never tried Meriwether's. The menu is appealing and I've heard great things, but the price points are just a little too steep for me. I was even a bit hesitant to try their happy hour after spotting reduced prices that were still in the double digits listed on their website. That, of course, was before I noticed the Pantry Board selections--allowing customers to pick one, three, or five small plates at a discount. And now that I've been to Meriwether's, I want to go back.

The Pantry Board selections include at least a dozen small plates, each perfectly presented in the cutest little wooden bowls or tiny cast iron skillets. The menu changes with the seasons but some staples remain constant. We had a hard time choosing (even after eliminating the majority of the meaty options). In the end, we decided on the deviled eggs, polenta fries, falafel, arancini, and the cheese and fruit pairing. The board was perfect for sharing and made it quite obvious that each dish at Meriwether's--no matter how big or small--is accompanied by some serious attention to detail.

Although the Pantry Board provided the two of us with an ample amount of flavors and textures, we felt it necessary to order just a little more. The Meriwether's Beet Salad is available on the bar menu for $13 ($10 during happy hour) and comes dressed with everything you'd expect. It's got great crunch and enough beets to make every bite perfect.

I didn't sample the Prosciutto and Greens Pizza but had to include it in the pictures. It's huge and piled high with Prosciutto. The Pancetta and Potato pizza is sure to be equally impressive. If only a veggie option were available.

Not ideal on a night like tonight, the garden patio is remarkable--full or color and life and dotted with the sweetest birdhouses--and a place you'll want to visit when the sun returns.

Relish Gastropub

6637 SE Milwaukie Avenue
Happy Hour: 3 - 6, Tuesday through Sunday

The sun came out today. The temperatures were back in the mid to upper seventies. It was like summer. And it was beautiful. But tomorrow it will rain. And I will be back in my classroom. The time I spend there has been keeping me from blogging for close to two months. It's been a busy start to the school year and there doesn't seem to be any sign that things will slow down in the near future. Luckily, happy hour is still available. And if I'm too tired to head out on a Friday night, there's always the weekend.

Relish offers happy hour on both Saturday and Sunday. Yes, they have discounts during the week (all but Monday, when they're close) but I'm most excited that they offer happy hour on the weekend because that's when I actually have time to go out.

We were there for an early dinner and had the opportunity to enjoy the last of summer on their over-sized patio. I'm sure it fills up fast, but we walked up just as happy hour was starting. It's right off the street, but traffic through that neighborhood isn't much of a bother at all.

With plans to call it an early dinner, we ordered enough to really fill up. There are plenty of options on the happy hour menu to do more than just snacking--and they've got an assortment of veggies, making this a meal that won't leave you feeling guilty.

I started with the grilled romaine salad--with a substitute for the tomato bacon jam, of course. Grilled romaine is something that I've only tried a few times, but I love it every time. I am not, however, quite ready to try it at home. I just don't want to ruin that smoky goodness by overdoing it. These perfectly blackened greens were topped with giant croutons and plenty of cheese. I snapped an extra picture of that salad as it's listed on the menu. The tomato jam is thick--thicker than any salad dressing I've grown accustomed to--but was apparently a wonderful addition.

Covered in garlic and red pepper flakes, the sauteed green beans were another menu option that makes happy hour at Relish more than just your typical fried food adventure. They were a bit pricey, given the season...but still quite delicious.

Not too pricey was the giant plate of garlic cheese bread. For three dollars, I was NOT expecting such an enormous serving. We ate as much as we could but had to leave some behind.

The gnudi was the most intriguing vegetarian item on the menu--but when I asked the server which was more of a meal, he suggested I go with the tofu and pea masala. Luckily, I was still able to have a bite of the gnudi. I enjoyed the textures and appreciated the roasted red pepper sauce (probably because I've been overwhelmed with the number of tomatoes--and all things tomato-related--that have come from my garden).

Served over rice noodles, the tofu and pea masala was an excellent suggestion. It inspired me to continue my search for the best tikka masala recipe--and I think I've finally found it. The tofu was a bit too chewy for me, but the flavors were perfect. And I love, love, loved the peas.

Sitting on the patio made for plenty of people watching. And many of those people were enjoying what appeared to be frozen yogurt. With a quick search, we learned that this happy hour was within walking distance of dessert. Including something sweet isn't a requirement for a happy hour to make it to the top of our list, but it helps. Being a few doors down from frozen yogurt is almost just as good.

Yara Lebanese Cuisine

3928 N Mississippi Avenue
Happy Hour: 4 - 7 PM, Sunday through Thursday

Not everyone likes happy hour as much as I do. Sure, they love the discounts. They enjoy that they can snack and have a drink or two without spending much cash. But they don't all want it to become dinner...not like I do. For me, happy hour is a chance to go out to eat (sometimes to a super fancy place that I'd usually have to save for a special occasion) on the cheap. But that's hard for some people. The portions are too small, they say. It's not enough to fill me up. I say, they're just not working the menu like they should. I'm usually stuffed after a happy hour outing. (Of course, I often go to two or three in a row...I guess that's a different story.)

Happy Hour at Yara on North Mississippi is one of those places that can become dinner without any question. It's Lebanese food. There's fresh pita and hummus, falafel and tabbouleh. It's the same as you would get if you were there for lunch or dinner, but it's cheaper. That's what makes a happy hour a good happy hour. And the happy hour at Yara Lebanese Cuisine is right on track.

Five days a week, you can get a super discounted meal between 4 and 7 PM. It doesn't matter where you sit, there's no requirement that you purchase beer or wine, it's just cheap. And it's good. We were there recently and ordered the hummus ($4), a spinach pie ($5.50), and a falafel sandwich ($5). On the way out, I even picked up a chicken shawarma sandwich for my husband.

There's no way to get around loving fresh pita (as long as you still consume bread, that is). It's hot (almost too hot to start), it's delicious, and it works wonders at getting the goodness that is hummus from the plate to my mouth. Sure, cucumbers work too...but warm pita is so much better.

I loved the hummus (as I usually do) but wasn't the biggest fan of the other sauces that accompanied our selections. They were just a bit too spicy for me. For those of you with stronger spice tolerance, be sure to give them a try.

The spinach pie--also known as a fatayer--took a little longer than the rest of the meal (which seems to be the case at every Lebanese restaurant) but was worth the wait. Just don't forget that it's on its way...sometimes I get too full before the fatayer makes it to the table and end up taking it to go.

My favorite part of the meal--which was also quite delicious as leftovers--was the falafel sandwich. It wasn't ginormous (which happens at some places) but was enough for me to not finish what I started. The falafel had a good crispiness to it without being overcooked in the middle, the pita was just as fresh as the rest of the pita I had already eaten, and the veggies added just enough freshness to make every bite perfect.

Happy Hour at Yara is an easy sell. It's good and it's super affordable. What's tough about it is that it's on Mississippi Avenue along with SO many other really good happy hour options. Knowing that, I still want to go there right now for another falafel sandwich because when you're in the mood for a specific flavor, that's what you're going to have.

4057 N Mississippi Avenue
Happy Hour: 3 - 6 PM, Monday through Friday; 10 - close on Sundays

It's nearly impossible to believe that I could have actually found another new favorite. Or, I suppose it's just like me and milkshakes. There's no real all-time fave. But there is a seasonal favorite, and made-at-home favorite, and a favorite from the fast food joint in my hometown. As long as I can put some kind of extra title on it, it can be another favorite. Same with restaurants. Same with happy hour. It's even the same with cocktails.

My newest favorite made it to the top for two reasons. Sure, the food is good. The cocktails, too. And the prices are quite stellar (which is a big plus when reviewing any new happy hour spot). But this place won me over with their service and their gorgeous patio. I guess I could have been lucky with just the right server...but I know for sure that this is a place I want to be at when the sun is out.

Interurban is located on Mississippi Avenue and offers happy hour from three to six on weekdays. They also do a late night happy hour on Sundays from ten until they close their doors. They have a great menu with a variety of items all reasonably priced. The majority of the items are between three and six bucks, but they do have fries & aioli for $2 or oysters & bubbles for ten. Oh, and there's a dessert item on the happy hour menu (always worth extra credit, in my opinion). It's a warm oatmeal cookie--which means you have to wait for it because it's coming to you fresh from the oven--and it's only three bucks.

We ordered the fries (of course), a quesadilla ($4), the polenta croquettes ($3), and the grilled broccolini ($4) plus a couple of cocktails.

The grilled broccolini had just a hint of heat with their chili flakes. The parmesan cheese was a nice touch and the fact that they were cooked just right made me love that this veggie was available at a discount.

Although ours came with it on the side, the quesadilla is more than just melted cheese and a little pico de gallo. This one comes stuffed with an oh-so-meaty chili and plenty of ooey-gooey cheese. You can order yours with the chili on the side (like we did) or they'll even chop up some of the broccolini as a substitute, if you'd rather.

For just two bucks, I was expecting a much smaller plate of fries. These ones seemed almost endless and came with a good amount of aioli.

I was seconds away from loving the polenta croquettes--seriously LOVING those little balls of fried polenta--until I spotted the teeniest triangle of what looked like processed meat. I checked the happy hour menu--only warning mentioned was concerning raw egg--and then cross referenced the regular menu to find absolutely no mention of meat. When our server came by again, we learned that these near perfect, snack-sized polenta treats were in fact tainted with pepperoni. All of this would have been fine, of course, had there been any mention of it on the menu. This vegetarian, however, does not like to be surprised by the presence of meat. It's not going to keep me from going back, of course...but I thought it best to spread the warning to any other vegetarians out there.

Knowing we were headed to a second location kept me from ordering the berry salad, the black lentil stew, and the Mexicali grilled corn (all priced at just $5 on the regular dinner menu). This, of course, gives me reason to return before too long. You should too...as their patio is one that everyone should see before the rains return.

Dick's Kitchen

704 NW 21st Avenue
Happy Hour: 3 - 6, weekdays

Dick's Kitchen offers happy hour on weekdays between three and six. With locations on both sides of the Willamette and a menu that includes gluten-free, paleo, and vegan options, this place is sure to please the entire table. They are all about real food from responsible resources. Yes, it's a burger-based kind of place. And yes, you'll probably want to order dessert. What's different about Dick's, however, is that you won't walk out feeling full of guilt. You'll be full, but having eaten such a real meal might just leave you inspired to change the way you think about food in the future.

There were a number of vegetarian options on the happy hour menu, but once I saw the veggie Reuben on the regular menu I knew I had to have it. There are only so many veggie Reubens out there and I am determined to find the best one in Portland. At Dick's, they make theirs with Tempeh and add just enough sauerkraut that it doesn't all just spill out the sides of the sandwich. Topped with melted swiss cheese (a vegan substitute it available) and 1000 island dressing, this sandwich is one that I would have again.

Also at the table was the specialty burger (this week's "guest" burger) made with wild boar, the "Elvis" burger (topped with house-made pimento cheese spread), and a plate of sliders. Both the guest burger and the happy hour sliders came with a side, but the regular menu items do not. They are, however, priced accordingly. Other than the guest burger--which is priced at $10.50--all burgers and sandwiches are listed between four and nine dollars. Sides are three bucks--even less if you're adding on to a meal--and include "not-fries" and other healthy veggie options. The infamous "not-fries" are air-baked after being lightly tossed in a hi-oleic safflower oil, are available as either regular "not-fries" or yam "not-fries" and can be upgraded to include a fancy dipping sauce for just fifty cents extra.

Happy Hour prices are even less, with most items priced between $3.50 and $7. Draft beers are a dollar off or you can get a glass of wine for just five bucks.

Not included on that discounted menu, however, is dessert. After seeing it on the cover of Portland Monthly, I knew I wanted to try the Paleo Parfait. It's just so pretty. The parfait is made with cashew "cream" and topped with a raspberry compote and crunchy "cookie" crumbles. I enjoyed both the flavor combination and the crumbles but will probably opt for the adult milkshake next time (just because I can).

El Firulete - a great read for serious tangueros

The internet seems infinite, just when you think you've found most of them a another great site turns up. Today I discovered El Firulete. Stories are good, well-researched and well-written - and interesting! I found an interview with Gabriela Elia, one of the judges with the Salon section of the recent Tango championship in BsAs very interesting ... for example "This year only young couples reached the finals. That’s wonderful, but they all danced the same way. It is not their fault, it is the style that is being awarded." ..."We should have been 10 feet from the dancers, and not to 60 feet. The salon tango is a reflection of the milonga, and as such it has to be appreciated form a close distance"..."There were too many people in each round, 11 couples dancing three tangos is too much".
And Tango Notation for Step collection...
"Unfortunately the good teaching of tango is underrated. It has to compete with the urge for instant gratification: to run before crawling, and also with the eye candy temptations that sexy and voluptuous bodies provoke when dancing a choreography for the pleasure of an audience."
Anyone who knows anything about choreography will find this review interesting.. those who think tango shouldn't be choreographed should probably also read it because it explains why this is important for the preservation of tango's history.
So when you feel like a bit of serious tango reading - check out this blog.

We're truly humbled by your endorsement and thank you for your kindness. Suddenly we have the urge to dance down under. ;-)
Delighted - I enjoy reading it. And we would love to welcome you down under so if you should decide to come please let me know - I will spread the word.

Tango and Sleep

After years of writing about health I have heard this before but it still helps to remind oneself of the importance of sleep. A recent study has found that up to 10 hours sleep is ideal (not the 7 to 8 that most of us aim for!). Researchers at Stanford University persuaded 11 basketball players to aim for 10 hours every night for 5 to 7 weeks  and though they only averaged an extra 90 minutes a night, the study found their performance improved markedly. And it wasn't just their basketball  - their memories improved too.
Babies, getting older, noise - and tango - all conspire against getting even the 7 to 8 that many of us crave - I certainly do! And it can be impossible to get this time with work, things that have to be done at home, social life and exercise routines... so what do the experts suggest. The good news is that too much sleep can be just as bad for overall health as too little - and we should just continue to aim for those precious 8 hours. And as we get older the afternoon nap is the way to go it seems. Research done on a population of older Chinese in the same medical journal found that sleeping longer at night was actually potentially harmful and the afternoon nap was the way to go! So I feel vindicated - I just love having a long afternoon nap before Saturday night tango - and I feel it helps me to catch up on the sleep I missed during the week.
If you haven't seen the 1969 movies 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They' it is worth hunting out on DVD. The story of dance marathon during the Depression, sleep plays a big part!

Kaleidoscoping the Migrant Problem-Opportunity Dilemma

Pictures of migrant-exiles from the Middle East, not just Syrians but Iraqis and Afghanis as well, are currently being transmitted by CNN, Aljazeera English and other news giants to homes all over the world in customary repetition which most of us would agree exceeds the canons of proper news reporting.

Fodder news portraying human pain and misery are being presented to viewing masses, too often depicting unwarranted blame and/or lack of humanity from/by Europeans who are trying to cope with an inherited humanitarian crisis not entirely of their making.  Rich sister Germany is somehow expected to offer leadership, and problem-solving direction, in managing this new crisis for Europe.  Greece, Serbia, Hungary and Austria are becoming transit stations for this migrant humanity in the yellow-brick which extends from Turkey to the promised Oz: Germany.

Amid this crisis-in-progress, Viktor Orban’s racially-charged comments announcing a lack of desire by Hungary to increase its foreign-born population acquires the same timbre and tone as those of America’s presidential candidate, Donald Trump.  But aren’t these self-exiles supposedly “political” migrants, not the economic migrants entering the US overwhelmingly from Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America?  These migrant waves are branded, inaccurately perhaps, with the same umbrella term… whether their odyssey is motivated by economic, social or political reasons.  And, truth be said, the economic reason does weigh heavily or you wouldn’t have Germany and the United States as the two major preferred destination points.

There is ample reason to believe that this recent flood of migrants is economically, not politically-rooted.  Recent rumors in refugee camps heralded the strong probability that much of Europe was contemplating more restrictive policies for admittance.  Thus the onrush to reach the promised land of opportunity: Germany; with any other EU nation as a second, third, or nth choice.

As for who or what is at fault for this current situation, pointing to Bashar al-Assad and his autocratic regime may seem as the politically correct answer to most Americans, and thus justify US’ role in the world as a “benign and orderly empire.”  Except that this empire the US inherited from the Brits, and have transformed to its capitalist image and likeness, has proven to be neither benign nor orderly when it comes to Middle East matters as we evaluate historical American foreign policy towards each of the nations, or entities, in the region; but principally Palestine, Iraq, Syria and Iran during the past seven decades.

This long period of turmoil throughout the Middle East dates back to US’ ascendancy to the Anglo-American throne being vacated by post-Edwardian Britain in favor of its crown-princess daughter: young and prosperous America.  Thus the UK surrendered its leading meddling role to the US in a region extending from the environs of Palestine to Persian lands and the northern Arabian Sea.  But let’s back up to the “migrant issue”… whether resulting from political meddling, social, religious, or economic reasons.

Pope Francis is calling to the world’s attention this close to home crisis, asking for every parish to adopt a refugee family.  Maybe we shouldn’t question Francis’ charitable and humane intentions of caring for those who are suffering, those who are reaching for help with a supplicant hand.  The Vatican, however, as a trustworthy postulant to peace and social justice in the world, needs to voice not just a current remedy to the problem, a band-aid of sorts.  It must, if to be credible, also point to blame so that likelihood of repetition is at least lessened; however, the Church has often found compelling reasons to remain silent, thus accommodating her survival.

Today’s migrant problem, if labeled as a problem, is of a secular nature, and it should be tackled in economic, secular ways.  Angela Merkel appears to be an enlightened leader when she tries to calm the German citizenry in gladly receiving the current human avalanche from the Middle East.  Being at the tail end of the world’s birthrate statistics (842 annual births per 100,000 population), Germany must be rejuvenated from without to cope with upcoming economic requirements (pensions, etc.).  One could hardly find a better source for this rejuvenation than vibrant, educated Middle Easterners… from Syria (2,276 annual births per 100,000 population) or Iraq, with a similar birthrate, 2,695 per 100,000 – a more congruous and assimilable choice than trying to accommodate migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa.

Perhaps both Donald Trump and Viktor Orban should take notice.  Hungary, with a low birthrate of 926 per 100,000 could harmoniously absorb a few thousands Muslims; and so could Italy, with a birthrate of 884 per 100,000.  As for the United States, its rate of 1,342 per 100,000 is achieved in great part to the “propensity to have children” of a large, undocumented Hispanic population from Mexico and Central America.

A problem can turn into an opportunity if tackled with a clear mind and a kind heart; seldom can it be solved with fear; and never, ever with hate.

San Diego Tax Lawyer Has Pointers for Tipped Workers

Submitted by Tax Tiger on Tue, 4/19/2016 - 7:11 pm

Are you someone who works in a restaurant as a bartender or a server? Maybe you deliver pizza, give people massages, or drive a taxi for a living. What do all of these completely different jobs have in common? They all receive tips. And with receiving tips comes a different kind of tax situation than if you were to not receive tips according to San Diego tax lawyer, Tax Tiger.

The basics

Basically the following happens:

  1. Keep track of your tips
  2. Report your tips to your employer
  3. Your employer includes those tips into your income through the payroll processing system
  4. Your W-2 will show this reported tip in Box 8

It’s as simple as that! But there are a few extra bits of information you may want to be aware of.

Here are a few pointers when it comes to your taxes:

  • Don’t make that much in tips but still make tips? Don’t worry about reporting how much you make in tips to your employer if it’s less than $20 a month. But it should still be included in the income on your tax return.
  • Do your best to keep track of all your tips. While it would make things easier if your employer kept track, it unfortunately doesn’t work that way. Use a journal, put the amounts in your phone, or find whatever way is best for you to easily record your tips so that when you need them for tax season – they are there.
  • Remember, people in restaurants aren’t the only ones who need to report their tips. Hairdressers, performers, and so many more people out there receive tips and should make sure to report these.

Dealing with taxes isn’t easy, and when it comes to tips – it gets even more complicated! Tax resolution services in San Diego, Tax Tiger, wants to make sure that your taxes are perfect for tax season. If you were to do your own taxes and make a mistake, you may end up owing the Internal Revenue Service money. With the help of a tax lawyer in San Diego, you can feel at ease knowing that these IRS issues will be resolved.

Building Surveys

Building Surveys are for large, older or run-down properties, a building that is unusual or altered, or if you’re planning major works. This type of report is flexible and can be focused on specific areas of concern or issue. It costs more than the other RICS reports because it gives detailed information about the structure and fabric of the property.

It includes:

  • A thorough inspection and detailed report on a wider range of issues
  • A description of visible defects and potential problems caused by hidden flaws
  • An outline of repair options and the likely consequences of inactivity
  • Advice for your legal advisers and details of serious risks and dangerous conditions.

An RICS Building Survey does not include a valuation, but we would be able to provide this as an additional service. Estimated costs of repairs may also be included as an option. – useful link to RICS website detailing the different surveys.

  • This film launched the Rock and Roll era by using "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets as its theme music. The song was chosen for the theme after it was heard among records owned by Peter Ford, the son of the film's star, Glenn Ford. For years it was thought the producer's daughter had discovered the song, but this has since been proven incorrect. "Rock Around the Clock" went to No. 1 around the world and eventually sold an estimated 25 million copies.

Tech Tips!

 YSR Kick Start

We get a lot of telephone calls and e-mails about "how do I put in the Kick starter?"

So......here we go!

The pix on the left shows it installed.

It is a lot easier installing this with the entire clutch removed. It can be installed with the clutch in, but is a hassle if you are not used to doing it. If you remove the clutch, be sure and note the position of the 3 washers invovled.

The pix on the right shows the kick start assembly with the two tabs labeled #1 and #2

The picture below shows the position of the the tabs when installed.

The pix above shows the finished installation. Just grab the hooked spring with some long nose pliers and pull it aroung until you can hook it on to the post. The arrow labeled #3 is the kick start idle gear. After installation with the kick start assembly at rest, it should be able to move freely.
