i like black sails enough to recommend it. wasnt won over by the initial criticism or the fact that michael bay produced it but gave it a shot when the second season got some positive responses. and looking at metacritic viewers were much more forgiving. not the greatest show and somewhat gratuitous at times but for the most part will hold your interest with some well drawn characters and fair amount of intrigue, and sure, some less than completely stereotypical depictions of pirating the caribbean. currently airing its third season on starz.

Any candid opinions on Nader's spoiler effect on the 2000 election? Wiki seems inconclusive. i voted Nader in NJ where Gore was a done deal and i thought bumping Nader's numbers would help get a message across. My second disclosure is that I'm onboard with HRC this round. My rationale is we need to bring our biggest stick to knock down the opposition on election day and I think that's HRC for better or worse (i'm not blind). I dont think Sanders can beat any of their top 3 in a general election. so i guess there are two points embedded in this post.  

new look for kossars bialys.

I know steve d. is big into black tea. can he or anyone else make recommendations for great special occasion and great every day black teas?

Ages ago I bought an emeco navy chair anodized in dark grey. I got just the one to see how I liked it before ordering more. Fifteen years later, I want more. The google can't find any suppliers of the 1006 in colors. Any ideas from resident mid-century fans? I'm aware of the 111, which is plastic, and comes in colors, but I've never seen one in person.

Last night I had himono robatayaki. Fish that's salted and sundried, then grilled over charcoal. The dried seabream on that page appears to be an example of this. We had one of the varieties of mackeral on the menu.

Adding ... and it was good. Much umami.

question: Chelsea Handler ?
 

answer: If you have to ask.

enjoyed her charlie rose appearance. decided to take in a couple of episodes from her series. Silicone Valley was pretty good. rough set of friends at her discussion table.
