Because WAMU made a stupid decision to drop LMD, don't blame it on Diane 
Rehm, please!  Her show has always been in the morning time slot, and was 
not effected by the decision.  I have always found her as intelligent and 
objective as talk show hosts come.  -- David Scheim

You're right, Mike was the class of the talk show business

It always came out "Cuff-bert".

A bright high school math student in Bethesda, Maryland wishes to do part-

some volunteer assignment that could develop into a summer job.

We have successfully placed several high school interns in our computer 
assignments, but we don't have anything that would provide any challenge for 
a math student.  We learned of this student through the Mongtgomery County 
high school internship program.

If you have an opening for this student or may in the future have openings

or call Sandy Shmuckler, director of this placement program, at 301 279-3432.

The Ice Ring is run by the National Park Service, thus if you call them you can
find "offical" information.

I have skated on the ring at Pershing Park and can say that yes they do have
rental skates and they are open from 10A - 11P  The sessions are 2 hours long
and cost $4 each.  Rentals are $2.50.   Go with a group of ten or more and
save $1 each.

I will guess that since both rings are run by the same ppl that both are
compatible as far as operations hours and costs.

Silver Diner up Route 1 in Laurel is a sure thing. I haven't had it for

I've never been to the Tung Bor, but we ate at the Good Fortune
restaurant in Wheaton last night, and it was great.  The service
was prompt and accurate, the food was delicious, and the physical
layout was open, clean, and very comfortable.  I thought it was
interesting that we were one of only two Occidental tables.
Looks like the Good Fortune is where the local Chinese community
dines out.  Oh, it was cheap too.  $27.50 for drinks, appetizers 
and dinner for two.

Tried out the little cubby-hole-of-a-cafe Cafe Zino for lunch today.  It's

there about three months.

The offer fine sandwiches on a variety of breads.  Tasted the tuna-and-chutney on
a sub and the mozarella-and-pesto on foccacia bread. Both were excellent.
Decided to cut loose and have coffee and dessert. Tasted a macadamia nut-
chocolate-cream cheese concoction and something called terramisu (spelling?).
Mama-mia! Absolutely to die for.  And the espresso was done to perfection.

Try it, you'll like it.

   I'll probably be accused of being an ugly American, but here goes...

   My favorite CHinese resturant is WooLaeOak in Crytsal City.

   It is, of course, Korean.  The food is somewhat similar to Chinese, although
   the veggies can tend to be somewhat spicier.

I won't call you names, but Korean and Chinese food are fairly different, at
least to my tastes.  On the other hand, Woo Lae Oak is a spectacularly good
restaurant.  When I was last there (about 6 months ago) the menu said there are
4 Woo Lae Oaks: NY, DC, LA & Seoul.  It certainly is the best of the many good
Korean restaurants in the DC area.  The basic dish to try is the cook at your
own table bbq: the beef version is "Bul Goki" (it's transliterated, so my
spelling is no worse than anyone else's, right?).  You get a zillion little
plates of interesting tastes along with your pile of marinated meat: things
like garlic & hot pepper marinated cabbage (kim chee), little dried fish,
vinegared ginger root, various gelatinous cubes, and lots more.  I never
learned the names because they seem to come no matter what you order.  It's a
wonderful way to get to know a gastromic culture.  By the way, this is
obviously a culture that has to deal with harsh winters, since everything seems
to be prepared for maximum storability (sour or spicy marinades, drying, etc.)
One of my favorite Korean dishes is Yook Hwe, which is raw beef, sliced very
thin or ground, marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil & lord knows what else, and
served very cold, covered with a raw egg yolk.  Not for everyone, but if you
like that sort of dish, it is very good.  Because of the dangers associated
with eating raw stuff like that, I won't try it in most Korean restaurants in
the US, but I do trust Woo Lae Oak, and have often had Yook Hwe there. 

Give it a try!!

	Considering the wealth of dining experiences shared in this
group, we could put together a fairly reasonable "Guide to DC dining"
from within this group.  Anyone interested?  I suggest that we condense
comments to one small paragraph for each place.  If we agree to a
format, people could post thier critiques as additions to the guide.
Every so often someone could post the entire up to date collection as 
it grows.

Example entry:

-----------------
Joe Schmoes Greaseburger Buffet  
1116 Podunk Ave.  Silver Spring. 
North on New Hampshire, left on Podunk; 2blks, lhs.
American Diner Cuisine.
Very Casual Dress.
6am-9pm M-F; 8am-4pm Sat,Sun.
$3-$7/plate.

Joe's has exceptional service but the food tends to be rather greasy.  
They have a nice selection of sauces (tabasco, A-1, Worcheshire),
but charge $.20 a slice for american cheese.  Items you should try 
include the Wombat Burger, and the Hill Billy Hash.  Avoid, the Barf 
Burger.

I prefer Cafe Berlin (about 300 Mass Ave, NE) to Wurzburg Haus.
The food is better, IMHO, although it is more expensive. Entrees at
dinner are in the $12-$15 range, which is not out of line for DC. A
liter of beer is $8, and I don't think that's bad.

Also, it's my favorite place for outside dining in all of DC --
pleasant patio just off the street enough so you can watch folks

Friendly staff, too.

I recently heard that there was an Ethiopian restaurant in Silver
Spring.  Unfortunately, I don't know its name, address, etc.  I'd rather
not have to read the Yellow Pages looking for it -- assuming I would
even recognize it when I saw its name.  I would greatly appreciate it if
someone can help me with this.

				Thanks!
