visiting san francisco- gluten and lactose intolerant
We will be visiting San Francisco staying in the Fisherman's Wharf area. we are a 30-something couple with a five year old.
We love trying new cuisines and all eat fish but other than that prefer predominantly vegetarian fare. I have recently become lactose and gluten intolerant making eating out more difficult but not impossible.
I was thinking of Saha as one option but was hoping the SF chowers could recommend some great options as well. Our five year old is well behaved and has an adventurous palate. We will have a car.
Right up my alley! I have these same issues too. In general, restaurants in SF are very accommodating of allergy requests, but here are my picks:
Saha is great and highly recommended if you think your son/daughter will like that style of food.
Gracias Madre, in the Mission, is excellent vegan (so no dairy) Mexican food, and the menu is 90% gluten free.
Dosa is a great Indian place with two locations (Fillmore and Valencia), pretty inexpensive, and again very GF-friendly.
Plant Cafe on Embarcadero is also great, mostly vegetarian with some fish, and menu items are labeled for dairy-free/gluten-free.
Good luck!

Dosa on Fillmore

I'm lactose intolerant too. Fraiche on Fillmore makes a soy frozen yogurt that I love, though I am not sure of its GF status. I tend towards eating Asian food out as it is generally lactose free, but I realize that can be problematic for GF, so I will defer to those wiser than I.
If you're not from a major metropolitan area, you may also have fun in Whole Foods (or Rainbow) - no kidding. There's a whole aisle of dairy free frozen desserts that I never seem to find anywhere else. Also, check out Green Valley Organics in Andronico's dairy aisle (WF sadly stopped carrying it) - lactose free real milk kefir and yogurt.
re: artemis
The soy yogurt is GF. Fraiche has an allergy sheet on their website.
However, you can eat well in San Francisco. Do you need completely dairy free or just low lactose? If the latter you are even better off.
I can't say I love it, but my Celiac son loves it - Amici's has gluten free pizza and dairy free cheese.
In the Ferry Building you can get gluten free bread at Mariposa. I like their quick breads the most and some are dairy free. I am too picky about gluten free breads.
For treats, XXX truffles has gluten free dairy free almond truffles which are very good, and Scream sorbet is a must for gluten-free indulgent sorbets. Available at the Thursday Ferry Building market I believe and at their store front in Oakland.
South Indian is a natural match - I near the south bay where South Indian is wonderful so I haven't eaten at Dosa, but would recommend the general genre.
Poc Chuc would work well too for some great Mexican food. Their black beans are gluten free, and you can easily skip the small amounts of cotija cheese. At the Ferry Building on Saturday Primavera would also work - I have had many dishes sans dairy.
Really, you should just search the board for food choices wihtout the gluten/dairy restriction. If you post back with your choices we can chime in on whether it is gluten/lactose intolerant friendly. Most are - I certainly don't limit myself. Exceptions are Chinese food at most places, and certain other Asian cuisines that use soy sauce ubiquitously. For Vietnamese-ish, I have had slanted door which has some fish or veggie dishes which can be ADAPTED to be gluten-free. Also, there is a Vietnamese place in the Castro that has a gluten-free menu, although it is mostly fried.
Fish is easy too. Tadich Grill or other simple seafood places are wonderful.

re: jsaimd
SD is very nice about accommodating. They made a few special dishes for a friend a few years ago who is fish-allergic (no fish sauce). Unlike smaller, less tourist oriented places where you might or might not make yourself understood in english.
re: bbulkow
For the OP - SD is Slanted Door. Yes almost everything on their menu has gluten, but they are very good with accomodating where they can and i had plenty to choose from. They are reportedly good with avoiding cross-contamination, but you sometimes miss a bit of the dish in the adaptation when restaurants have to do that.
Recently dined at French Laundry and while they have come light years since the last time I dined there in terms of accommodating gluten free diets, they still leave components out of dishes instead of serving a different dish. I don't really blame them - it isn't easy to deal with food allergy issues, but in some cases you could tell that there was a piece missing.
In most cases I choose dishes that are inherently gluten free. I always ask my servers here in the Bay Area to let me know if there are substantial changes that must be made, so I can just order something else if the change is substantial enough

If you have any plans to get to Berkeley, Gather is a great spot for you. Really great food, at least half of it is vegetarian, and the menu tells you anything that is gluten free. Not far from the Downtown Berkeley BART station and there's parking nearby (though, as in SF, parking in Berkeley can be challenging sometimes, but there's a pay lot not far).
2200 Oxford Street, Berkeley, CA 94704
re: vulber
Personally, I find Asian restaurants (particularly Chinese, Vietnamese, etc.) challenging because soy sauce has wheat in it, and I have a hard time finding vegetarian dishes without soy sauce that still taste good. Thai can be easier, though.
If you are coming to the East Bay, Mariposa Bakery might be worth a stop.
thanks so much for all the great information. keep it coming!
We live in Minneapolis and have lived in NYC and Philly previously so are very familiar with Wholefoods, co-ops, etc.
Saha, Dosa, Gracias Madre all sound wonderful ( and menus and reviews look good too). We will also try Fraiche for the yogurt and Slanted Door ( lunch defeinitely seems better priced!). I think French Laundry is beyond our price pint or rather better saved for a trip when we are not travelling with our daughter ( rare but Grandma does occassionally babysit for a week!).
XXX truffles and scream sorbet aready have my mouth watering.
I will do some more chowhound searching , try and put together some foodie/sightseeing itineraries and update later. Merci again! Would love any other advice.

re: ramekin
Another potentially interesting idea - La Ciccia. Sardinian food traditionally uses very little dairy, if any, so they should have no trouble coming up with lovely lactose free food. Of course, the GF hitch would eliminate pasta, but I would imagine that their whole roasted fish and daily veggie would be GF friendly and still fabulous.

re: artemis
We usually don't have a problem eating at the Italian restaurants in the city but we are not vegetarian. I tend to eat fish if it is available, so if you are OK with 1-2 options then you can do well with Italian or similar in the city.
re: ramekin
It'd XOX Truffles (just wanted add correct name so you can locate it).

One major change in plans: no car, will be relying on MUNI to get around. hotel is in 'Marina' district.
plan so far:
arrive feb 19th (sat)
go to chinatown for new year's parade
Dinner at Jai Yun
feb 20th (sun)
pier 39. watch sea lions
dinner at Plant cafe
feb 21st (mon)
dinner @ Dosa on Fillmore
feb 22nd (tue)
Golden gate park, California academy of sciences
Dinner @ Saha
feb 23rd- time for breakfast only.
any recommendations for lunch/ suggested changes, etc? I am not sure how convenient it is going to be to get to any of the 'treat' ( sorbet, chocos)places but would love to if we can.
Jai Yun

Dosa on Fillmore

re: ramekin
If you're going to Dosa, you're a stone's throw from Fraiche. I am probably overhyping this but Fraiche is the only frozen "yogurt" I can eat and I love it so. Get one of their fresh fruit purees on top - I prefer the olallieberry.
Do you have a Cantonese (or is it Mandarin?) speaker? I wonder how GF Jai Yun will be, though it will probably be lactose-free. I would be surprised if the meal I had at Jai Yun was GF.
How about Marnee Thai for lunch after the Academy - you won't even need to repark, and there should be some good GF options.
Lunch at the wharf - does "all fish" include crustaceans? Consider going to Alioto's stand and get some fresh, local steamed dungeness crab and lots of fresh lemon.

re: artemis
Artemis- thansk so much!
Ok, dosa followed by dessert @ Fraiche.
No mandarin/cantonese speaker- the gluten is a mild ( albeit occ. worse) intolerance the lactose a big no- no so I was hoping that I should be ok?
Marnee thai looks good and I've read several places mention Alioto's but was not sure if it was all hype but I think we will have to give it a try!!
Alioto's Restaurant
8 Fishermans Wharf, San Francisco, CA 94133
re: ramekin
I know very little about hidden gluten, but I would bet that my Jai Yun meal was lactose free. I'll also note that my table found the portions (of truly delicious food) a bit small - the talented chef seems good at cooking appropriate portions for even numbers of diners (4, 6, 8), but we had a table of 7 and it seemed like we received the right amount of food for 6, not 7. The food was delicious, but you may be a bit snacky after, depending on your appetite size.
I've never been to Alioto's but it does seem like a good place to get fresh, local cooked, cracked Dungeness while you're over gawking at the (stinky) sea lions.

re: ramekin
If you aren't too worried about gluten than perhaps Jai Yun would work, but I always find Chinese especially difficult. Beyond soy sauce many of the sauces used in cooking contain gluten, often wihtout the chefs knowing (like fermented bean paste). It depends on the brand used.
If you want on Sunday you can jump in to Canteen for a late breakfast. I believe they are open on Sunday and a very easy Muni ride or nice stroll. I am usually full enough from their brunch for lunch. Townsend is also not hard to get to.
Near GG park, there is also Chow which has solid food and is gluten-free allergy friendly. That will be a full day. My kids would live at GG park if they could (we are there a lot).
If you are open to the BART, then that will get you into the mission - easy walk to good Mexican food from BART stops. Also in the mission is Bi-Rite, from which you can get many Bay Area culinary delights. My kids love to go grab ice cream (or sorbet in your case) from Bi-rite creamery and eat play at Mission Dolores park.

re: jsaimd
With gluten and lactose intolerant friends, I go to Thai for Asian food since they rarely use soy sauce/wheat - rather use fish sauce with no wheat/gluten. Lots of good Thai places on these boards . . . And of course Mexican food!
re: ramekin
I don't think Jai Yun is a good idea for you. There is a significant language barrier, and they serve a multi-course chef's tasting menu. Each time I have gone, one course has been a textured wheat protein fake meat, which I think is about as bad as you can get if you are gluten intolerant. We often don't even know what we're eating, because the server doesn't know the English words to describe it. An adventure for me, maybe a nightmare for you.
Jai Yun
680 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94111
re: SteveG
?other recs for Chinatown appreciated!!
re: SteveG
I had not realized Jai Yun is prix fixe only. And with all the language issues I've been reading about I agree it would not be a good idea for us. How about lucky creation vegetarian restaurant in chinatown? I know they do a lot of faux gluten stuff but I've read reviews of them being accomodating to gf/sensitive clients?
Jai Yun
680 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94111
re: ramekin
I'm sorry, but gluten free is really not on my radar. I just know I've specifically had gluten-featuring dishes at Jai Yun. We had some recent posts here on CH that Jai Yun has hired front of house staff with good English, so it may still be an option. Lunch may be more a la carte. If you are interested in going, call them up to see what kind of menu they can do. If their knowledge and responsiveness is good, then go--otherwise don't rely on reviews on the web to make your decision.

680 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94111
was hoping to get some good 'mexican' ( I am using the term generically and do not mean to offend anyone!) as well but Gracias Madre as yummy as it sounds might be too much of a hike by MUNI for us. Hmmm.

The color of this comforter is perfect! A bright magenta - perfect for my 4 year old's bed. It really is pretty with all the ruching. It's just really flimsy and I can tell the insides will be bunched within the first use. I don't even want to think what will happen when I wash it. I'm okay with it because it's for a little girl and I also have a quilt that will go over it, but if you're looking for a better quality item - something that will last more than a few years, then I would pay the extra money and get something with better quality. I'm a little disappointed, but hoping it holds up for at least a year or two.
haven't put this on the bed yet (waiting to paint) but the color is beautiful

London Metal Exchange,
Saranya Kapur
NEW YORK Galvanizers Co. has filed a class-action lawsuit against the London Metal Exchange, Glencore Xstrata Plc, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and their respective warehousing units over alleged warehouse manipulation that it claims has driven up U.S. zinc premiums.
The trading houses "conspired to manipulate global warehouse supplies of zinc through numerous anti-competitive means, in concert with the LME," and have "injured purchasers of zinc for physical delivery globally and in the United States" from "at least May 24, 2010, to the present," Galvanizers said in documents filed in U.S. District Court in New York.
"Goldman, JPMorgan and Glencore, as members of the LME Warehousing Committee and owners of the LME, maintained an agreement that required a minimum of 1,500 tons (later increased to 3,000) of metal per city to be released each day. ... However, implicit in the shipping requirements was an agreement that the minimum could readily be treated as a maximum with no penalty," the lawsuit said.
The Portland, Ore.-based galvanizers suit follows similar action by zinc consumers Duncan Galvanizing Corp., Oklahoma Steel & Wire Co., Iowa Steel & Wire Co. and Southwestern Wire Inc. (amm.com, June 19)

How much will Apple cough for ebook conspiracy? Trial starts May 2014
Apple is due to face a trial on damages in summer next year, after a judge found the fruity firm guilty of conspiring with publishers to raise the price of ebooks. US District Judge Denise Cote said that if another resolution hadn't been arrived at before then, the trial would be scheduled to kick off in May 2014 to determine …
Well, yes, you idiots. It's a punishment so of course it is 'punitive'.
Now we'll see whether humility (they settle) trumps hubris (they bloody mindedly go all the way to trial).
Of course, this _is_ Apple we're talking about, I expect hubris to rule the day.
Re: "Punitive"
Bring on the hubris! Should provide plenty of fanbois troll-bait :-)
Re: "Punitive"
Why would the lawyers want to back down now, they're watching the meter going around so fast the whole edifice is in danger of taking off. The only reason to slow down would be it they thought it would keep the gravy train on its wheels better.
Re: "Punitive"

An excellent point :o) maybe it's actually the lawyers running apple and everyone else has yet to notice !
Of course it could be some elaborate tax-fiddle to move the money from apple's bank account to the lawyers' - has anyone checked who owns the lawyers (or are they all in-house?)
Apple has said that the government's remedy is "absurdly broad, invasive, vague, draconian and punitive".
The penalty should fit the crime and is fairly easy to figure. Apple should pay the price differential between the prior average and the new average times the number of books sold since the start of the Apple conspiracy. In addition, the board of directors should be sent to Singapore and each given twenty five strokes of the cane.
(Why yes, I do buy a lot of e-books).
But that's not exactly a punishment now is it. By that logic if I steal a candybar and get caught, I'd only have to pay a 60p fine, rather than what is it now. £50+?
That's around a 10000% markup on the theft?
So should apples fine be the difference between the prior and current average price * number of ebooks sold since apple started the deal + 10,000%?
Isn't the fine for running such a cartel up to 10% of worldwide revenues?
Apparently the calculation works out to be about 500 million bucks:
It's a lot of money, but it's not exactly going to cause Apple any pain, considering the mountain of cash they have in the bank.
More painful to them will be the restrictions on being able to enter into similar contracts again in the next 5 years, particularly if they're looking to expand the TV show distribution and iRadio, etc etc.
One thing I could never understand
How could anyone think that an agreement which basically said "You are not allowed to give this price or better to a competitor" could EVER be anything but a price fixing arrangement...
As that particular clause came from Apple, I say puncish the hell out of them. Every person who bought an ebook off them for that period gets half the cost of the book refunded in CASH. Plus maybe a little bit extra for the government (they get sulky when they dont get any money out of a deal). That should about cover it right?
Re: One thing I could never understand
"How could anyone think that an agreement which basically said "You are not allowed to give this price or better to a competitor" could EVER be anything but a price fixing arrangement..."
Because scumbag companies have been leading up to that level (restrictive competitive pricing contracts) for a very long time; they have only been doing it serendipitously
Bose Corporation, for example, has been doing this type of regulated pricing structure since the 1980's (how do I know? I was a dealer once...). They only do so under a different guise: the 'unwritten rule'.
Back in the 80's and 90's, you could only advertise Bose products using Bose pre-authorized ad copy AND, if you insisted on actually printing a price in the ad, it could only be FULL RETAIL. Bose frowned against having a "sale" or even discounting their products off of full retail pricing. If you did wish to discount a Bose product you could never, ever mention the price in print - you could only say things like "Save!" or "Come in for pricing", which even the former raised their eyebrows in alarm.
So you say to yourself, "So? That did not mean that you couldn't sell the product at whatever pricing you truly wished to", and in that respect you do not understand the delicacy of the situation.
Bose would do (occasional) inspections of your shop to see how you displayed their products (in a dedicated display, not in direct comparison to any other product) and at what pricing. If they didn't like what they saw? Then, purely by 'accident'...your shipments dried up. You could order and order and order, but by some miraculous 'loss' of your requests you never actually GOT any product.
So every Bose dealer went along with the ploy. Therefore, de facto "price fixing" - it was almost impossible for a customer to buy Bose at a discount, you had to look far and wide and find a dealer doing so in a quiet manner (which, we did).
These de facto pricing standards were - AND STILL ARE - somewhat rampant in parts of the retail industry. Grado Labs, headphone manufacturers, are widely known for continuing to play this game in Europe: you discount our products? Don't expect a restocking shipment anytime soon.
A few companies in recent years have, like Apple, attempted to get this policy in writing and, as you see, the retailers just play along and sign on the dotted line. Why? They are used to the subversive version of it being played against them so having it in writing is not that significant a deal - it isn't anything truly new. The other companies got caught and now it is simply Apple's turn to pay the piper for anti-competitive practices and, like the others before them, Apple sees no problem with the policy because they've seen this game played for years. 'Why are you bothering us?!', they bemoan, when it's been around before?
Re: One thing I could never understand
"How could anyone think that an agreement which basically said "You are not allowed to give this price or better to a competitor" could EVER be anything but a price fixing arrangement..."
Lawyers and people used to bending contracts and words for profit, such as people in marketing and evasive accounting departments.
Hmmm... marketing bods, evasive accountants and lawyers... isn't that about 60% of Apple staff?
Re: One thing I could never understand
That's a very interesting point and makes me think of how you never see a discounted iMac in a store.
Might be a little optomistic
To think the actual buyers who got ripped off will see any money. I'm pretty sure that's not how this stuff works.
Re: Might be a little optomistic
Of course they'll see the money. Not directly mind you, but since all buyers are American (using american logic) all the money will go to the american government who act on behalf of the people. So by using american logic the money actually does get to everybody (everybody being americans, even if they're not)
Hey it's the Reg - if Apple did it boo hiss and charge them the earth - if Goo 'Do Not Evil' gel did it then that's okay. Didn't Google just scan tons of books and make them available - with the authors permission or not?
A simple way of explaining it is that there is a line in the sand.
Google do one of the following
1: Toe the line, gonig right up to the limits of legal
2: Find a gap in the line which lets them pass without crossing it. (a loophole)
3: Step over the line a bit, and then apologise when they're caught
4: Find something where the line doesn't exist at all and try to get the line pushed back as far as possible when it is finally put in place.
Apple however do the following
1: See the line, and then scoot over it like a dog with worms scoots along the carpet.
One of them is pressing their luck but in a legal way, the other is completely flouting the law and expects to get away with it.
That and google actually settled on the book issue with an "Easier to ask forgiveness than permission" approach. They continue to put everything up there, but publishers can ask for specific titles to be removed. Which works out much faster than google asking for permission for each individual title.
Maybe each contract Apple write for the next years will have on it "Waaaa, the court says that we aren't allowed to offer these terms: A, B, C; so we're doing X, Y, Z instead."
There is a precedant for that
not the messiah
............a naughty naughty boy
Apple has said that the government's remedy is "absurdly broad, invasive, vague, draconian and punitive".
Why am I suddenly reminded of one of my children stamping their feet with a loud, whiney declaration of "That's not fair!" after being told that some privilege will be revoked because they've misbehaved?
Half-time score
Lawyers 1 - Apple 0
Ah , I see........
Apple has said that the government's remedy is "absurdly broad, invasive, vague, draconian and punitive".
........Just like their patent claims then.
Not to worry.
The great-grandchildren of Apple's current legal team will be filing appeals on this until THEIR great-grandchildren have all gone through Law School...unless some Arse of a President decides circumvent the legal findings of where ever this ends up.
There is another side to this...
I'm interested to see that there doesn't seem to be an opposing view to the 'Apple did wrong' view. The book trade seems to see this differently....
"There is rarely a case in the book business in which a piece of news can be so differently received. Do you take the view that Apple, in its arrogance, deserves to pay the substantial sums which will be imposed because they have conspired to force up the price of ebooks for the consumer? This is the view from the world of technology as well as the legal one.
Or do you say, as much of the book trade on both sides of the Atlantic , including the Bookseller, has done, that it was just an attempt to stop Amazon trying to entice consumers to buy ebooks, especially through its Kindle device, at very low prices?
The regulatory authorities on both sides of the Atlantic have tended to support Amazon whenever it has come to a showdown. Many in the UK book trade were astounded when the giant internet retailer was allowed to go ahead with its purchase of The Book Depository, even though it was one of the few companies offering any challenge to Amazon. By deciding that Amazon did not yet have a dominant position in the UK book trade as a whole, the UK Office of Fair Trading ignored the fact that it certainly does have a monopoly in online book sales, and allowed the acquisition to go ahead.
Amazon does seem unstoppable and many suspect they have used low prices as a tool to drive their competitors out of business. Of course books were just a starting-point and the internet retailer now trades in many other areas, establishing dominance on the web in many countries."
Interesting view... will Amazon now raise the price of e-books?
Another thought... I'm not an author and have no idea how Amazon et al pay royalties to authors but something about the modern state of play for non mega-corporates or bankers makes me think it's not a lot and if e-book prices go down this can only get worse for them.
For 'context'... I do read books, I don't use or buy Apple products, I don't use or buy e-books and I don't buy from Amazon. I try not to use Google either but hey there are only so many impossible things you can do before breakfast!
"She said she was hesitant about the court-appointed external monitor the government was keen on and preferred the idea of a strong internal antitrust compliance programme"
Seriously? i mean, see Microsoft, having a (US court) appointed external monitor does nothing anyway. But she can't seriously expect Apple would be capable of regulating itself can she?

Saw Voodoo supporting The Union in the small room upstairs at the O2. Although they seemed cramped on stage they really belted out their set to great effect.
Loved their raw energy and can't wait to see them again on a decent sized stage with better sound. Gary T from Neston

November 23, 2013
Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The closest statewide race in modern Virginia political history is unlikely to end Monday when the State Board of Elections certifies the votes for attorney general and other contests in the Nov. 5 election.
The State Board of Elections gives Democrat Mark Herring a 165-vote edge over Republican Mark Obenshain. In all, 2.2 million ballots were cast for attorney general.
While he hasn't said so directly, Obenshain has signaled he'll seek a recount. He could press the issue to the General Assembly.
Obenshain has given every indication he's digging in, even announcing a transition team after Herring had declared victory.
Herring also has announced a team, vowing to "build an attorney general's office that works for all Virginians."
His spokeswoman notes a statewide recount has never overturned a certified result.

Fly Away Home
We netted the floundering California lady beetle (Coccinella californica) aka "lady bug," from our swimming pool.
She didn't look like the familiar lady beetle, reddish orange with black spots. One spot was all she had.
And little life left.
Then, slowly, miraculously, she opened her wings to dry out, looking somewhat like a drenched DeLorean with its doors flung open.
She reminded us of the nursery rhyme:
Ladybug! Ladybug!
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire.
And your children all gone.
All except one.
And that's little Ann.
For she crept under
The frying pan.
I don't know if she flew home. She definitely didn't creep under a frying pan.
But our little Hemiptera predator did live to see another day, and perhaps feast on another aphid or two.
Or a scale insect, mealybug or mite.

Whew, that stinks!
If you've ever smelled a mosquito gravid trap, you know it's not heaven-scent. This isn't about the aroma of summer roses or the whiff of freshly baked cinnamon rolls or the fragrance of vanilla-laced skin cream.
No. This is something that stinks to high heaven. Probably low heaven, too.
It's s-o-o bad (how b-a-d is it?) that you just want to distance yourself from the stench: you hold your nose, mutter "P.U." and make like a Lightening Bolt (Olympic gold-medal sprinter Usain Bolt).
Said UC Davis chemical ecologist Walter Leal: "It smells like a latrine."
So he and his researchers set out to find a synthetic mixture that attracts mosquitoes but is odorless to humans. And they have. Their mixture, containing the compounds trimethylamine and nonanal in low doses, lures Culex mosquitoes just as effectively as the current gravid trap attractants. But look, ma, no smell!
They did it with what Leal calls "reverse chemical ecology."
The results are published in the current edition of the Public Library of Science Journal or PLOS One.
This research could play a key role in surveillance and control programs for Culex species, which transmit such diseases as
What are gravid traps? They're chemical- and water-infused traps, sometimes called oviposition traps or ovitraps. They're meant to attract blood-fed mosquitoes searching for places to lay their eggs. Scientists monitor these traps to determine the presence of West Nile-infected mosquitoes.
"The gravid traps are more important (than carbon-dioxide traps) for surveillance," Leal said, "as they capture mosquitoes that have had a blood meal and thus, more opportunity to become infected."
Leal said that another advantage of the gravid traps is that with the capture of one female mosquito, that eliminates not only her, but hundreds of her would-be offspring. "Each female mosquito has the potential to produce about 200 eggs, and she can have as many as five cycles. So when we capture a gravid mosquito, that can remove as many as 500 females."
The compounds used in the research, Leal said, are "simple and inexpensive" and would be of great benefit "to not only us but third-world countries where Culex quinquefasciatus is a problem."
The researchers did preliminary field testing in
Other scientists involved in the study included UC Davis researchers Wei Xu, Yuko Ishida,

Friday Lite: Bruce's Big Balloon Battle at Briggs
Friday lite.
That's what it was.
But it was more than that, too.
Every year, Bruce Hammock, distinguished professor of entomology at UC Davis, wages a water balloon battle for faculty, researchers, graduate students, staff, family and friends.
It takes place on the lawn, north side of Briggs Hall, near his basement lab and offices. We like to kid around that he's located on the "garden level" of Briggs. When Hammock hosts Bruce's Big Balloon Battle at Briggs, it becomes the "water level."
This year (Friday, Aug. 15) they filled 2500 water balloons and then threw them at one another. Every year when the water balloons are all gone, they empty the buckets—which really makes for some nice photos. I'm glad Bruce Hammock can be so accommodating!
"Nobody can beat Bruce Hammock at water balloons," said former administrative assistant Jeanette Martin, who returned for the big balloon battle.
The Hammock lab works hard and plays hard.
Bruce Dupree Hammock just won the 2008 UC Davis Distinguished Teaching Award for Graduate and Professional Teaching; he was nominated for his "dedication to his students, his interdisciplinary thrust, and his scientific and professional career guidance."
"This award is one of the most prestigious granted on the UC Davis campus and recognizes consistent outstanding teaching and commitment to student success," said Krishnan Nambiar, chair of the Academic Senate Distinguished Teaching Award Committee in a letter to Hammock nominator Michael Denison, professor of environmental toxicology.
Chemical ecologist Walter Leal, professor of entomology at UC Davis, described Hammock as an excellent teacher and mentor. "I can unequivocally tell you that teaching is Dr. Hammock's passion. He considers teaching the most important role of his university career...He motivates, encourages and inspires, molding a whole new generation of scientists who are discovering ways to benefit humankind."
Hammock is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and holds a joint appointment in Cancer Research with the UC Davis Medical Center. He directs the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Program on the UC Davis campus, as well as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Training Program in Biotechnology, and the NIEHS Combined Analytical Laboratory.
In the last five years Hammock has hosted more than 40 postdoctoral fellows or senior scientists. He has helped train future entomologists, biochemists, engineers, chemists and biologists.
You could say he also trains them to be water warriors.
Make that water warriors, extraordinaire.

Beauty Isn't Skin Deep
Beauty isn't skin deep. It's wing deep.
The Anise Swallowtail butterfly dazzles you with its yellow stripes and blue dots. If it were a painting, it would be a Michelangelo. If it were music, it would be Vivaldi's "Spring." If it were a car, it would be a sleek Lamborghini.
But there it was, a bit of beauty in the otherwise-drab
"Papilio zelicaon, female," he said.
Just like that.
Shapiro is the author of the newly published "Field Guide to Butterflies of the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento Valley Regions," illustrated by Tim Manolis.
The book is as awesome as his Web site, his own butterfly world. His Web site spans more than three decades of research and observations.
So what about my little ol' Anise Swallowtail?
Glad you asked.
When you were in school, you may have reared it in your classroom. It's easy to rear, Shapiro said, but don't provoke it. The caterpillar has "an eversible scent gland (the osmeterium) behind the head. It's yellow or orange and shaped like the letter 'Y' and if the beast is provoked, it releases a mist of butyric acid--rancid butter smell--which will hang in the air many minutes."
The caterpillar can be a pest in cultivated citrus, but a minor pest.
The caterpillar can be a pest in cultivated citrus, but a minor pest.
The Anise Swallowtail is found in most of the western states. Its main hosts are members of the carrot family, Apiaceae. It also feeds on the rue family, Rutacease.
The carrot family includes anise, fennel, dill, celery, parsley, parsnips (I hate parsnips—I'm glad something likes them!) and Queen Anne's lace. The Anise Swallowtail even eats the extremely poisonous water hemlock (Cicuta) and poison hemlock (Conium) "without ill effects," said Shapiro. "When Socrates drinks, everybody drinks," he quipped.
This little ol' butterfly is also a famous "hilltopper," Shapiro said. "In rugged topography, males and virgin females assemble on rocky unforested hilltops to mate--it's a butterfly 'singles bar.' The females do not return once mated, but the males come back day after day looking for action."

Reading Theology vs. Reading About Theology
September 14, 2014 § Leave a comment
One of my old avoidance tricks when given a subject that has the potential to be daunting is to read about the subject, as opposed to actually reading the subject.
I did a lot of this as an undergraduate in philosophy. I spent an inordinate amount of time learning about a given philosopher's background, how he came to write his major philosophical works, and finding juicy little anecdotes about his life. The result of all of this activity was that I ended up dancing around a lot of philosophical reading without actually diving in to the texts in any depth.
I'm trying to avoid this as much as possible with my current renewed interest in reading dogmatic theology. I don't want to fall into the trap of reading about theology at the expense of actually reading theology. Starting with Volume One of Staniloae's Orthodox Dogmatic Theology, I've actually avoided reading any of the prefatory material at the front of the book or doing random google searches to get more background on Staniloae. I'm sure this will come, but not until I've actually digested a good portion of the theology I'm currently reading.
Thinking About Theology
September 6, 2014 § Leave a comment
This blog has been on hiatus for a long time, but I have been thinking recently about getting back to it.
Just a brief thought for this morning. I've been spending some more time as of late doing theological reading and reflecting. Part of this is a consequence of feeling that my preach and teaching have taken the character of feeling somewhat stale to me.
As I've opined elsewhere, I've had this nagging sense that I'm doing the theological equivalent of talking about Washington chopping down a cherry tree. We may hear this story in elementary school, but don't we move past it at some point? Can't my preaching/teaching move past the same standard Orthodox theological clichés?
I've recently begun participating in a group that is doing some (for me) pretty dense reading and reflecting on Orthodox dogmatic theology. I've found the experience invigorating, even thrilling, but the reading, learning, and experience of the group far outclasses what I am capable of at this point. I can't belabor my shortcomings in that group and don't want to slow it down with my own work at "getting up to speed." I think that labor might better fit with what I could post here.
With that in mind, my plan is to re-boot this blog as a place to dust off my theological thinking and to start sorting out what I don't know that well.
Evangelism as Personal and Relational
November 30, 2012 § Leave a comment
Evangelism as Personal and Relational
A Sermon on St. Andrew the First Called (11/30)
(originally posted last year on St. Andrew's Day)
Reading from Wednesday of Bright Week (John 1:35-51)
We have an opportunity today to talk about evangelism. The story of St. Andrew the First-Called, as given in the Gospel according to St. John, provides us with a model of how to approach evangelism.
What happens in our story? Andrew and another are introduced to Jesus Christ. Christ invites them to "come and see" and spend the remainder of the day with him.
As a result of this encounter, the first thing Andrew does is:
- Finds his brother Peter
- Tells Peter that Jesus is the anticipated Messiah
- Brings Peter to meet Jesus for himself
What follows is Peter's own conversion to become a follower of Christ.
We see in the remainder of the Gospels that Andrew does not play any other outstanding role in the accounts of the apostles' ministry with Christ during His public ministry. Peter is made "first" among the Apostles. Peter, along with James and John, are counted as the "inner circle" of the 12 Apostles.
To be sure, Andrew is counted among the 12 Apostles, but we don't hear anything distinct about him from this point on. He does have the distinction of being the "first called" and as the one who introduced Peter to Jesus as the Messiah.
Often, the mistake is made to think that evangelism consists primarily of particular techniques, approaches, or methods. We can get caught up in discussions of how we do or don't advertize, what kind of pamphlets we have for visitors/inquirers, how or who follows up with visitors, what we say, what we don't say, etc., etc., etc.
There can also be the mistaken notion that the priest possesses some specific formula or technique for successful evangelism, i.e., that there is some specific evangelism "switch" that the priest can flip and get masses of people to come to church. This is simply not true.
To be sure, the elements of methods and approaches are needed and important. Those who are looking for the faith need to know that we are here and how to find us. Those who are looking for us need to have the means to access us from where they currently are at.
The priest is important in the work of evangelism. He is the one who follows up with guests and can nurture their interests and involvement in the parish. He is the one who can do a significant portion of the administrative "leg work" on the methods and approaches. The priest is one of the ones who can keep the parish community focused and on-task with the parish ministry of evangelism.
But the priest, ultimately, is not the primary evangelist of the parish. The primary evangelists of the parish are the members of the parish.
How is this possible? Look at the story we have of St. Andrew. He is the evangelist in the story. He introduces Peter to Jesus. Andrew shares with Peter that Jesus is the Messiah. Next, Andrew brings Peter to meet Jesus as the Messiah. Finally, Andrew steps back and allows Jesus to take over the work of forming Peter as an Apostle.
Andrew does this work in three steps: (1) he finds Peter, (2) he tells Peter about Christ, and (3) he brings Peter to meet Christ.
This highlights Andrews approach, but a more important element needs to be emphasized: Andrew's work as an evangelist was personal and involved someone he had an existing relationship with. Peter is his brother. Andrew had a face-to-face discussion with his brother, then brought him to meet Christ. There was no brochure, flier, or newspaper ad involved.
As such our work as evangelists needs to be personal and relational. It is personal in that we speak with people directly about the faith and it is relational in that it involves people that we have an existing relationship with:
- our friends and neighbors
- our family members/relatives
- our coworkers or classmates
As you can see, we shouldn't think of this in terms of "beating the bushes" to find strangers that we have to make a "sales pitch" to. Instead, we should approach our faith as a cherished gift that we have and desire to share with those we know, but don't have that gift:
- we find those we already have some relationship with
- we tell them about the gift that we have received
- we bring them to "come and see" the gift as expressed in our Sunday Divine Liturgy.
Starting to Read Your Bible
October 10, 2012 § Leave a comment
Probably the most common response people initially have to reading the Bible for themselves is being overwhelmed with where to start. This is a natural response when presented with a book that's over an inch thick, printed on very thin pages, and with a page count of over 1,800 pages long.
Part of being overwhelmed can also be the assumption that one needs to start by picking up the Bible and reading it from cover to cover like any other book. Instead, it should be thought of as a companion who will be a constant part of your life from here on out. As with any new "friend," your initial steps should be introductory, becoming acquainted with the Bible and its contents.
- Purchase your own copy of the complete Orthodox Study Bible. It's not enough for your household to have a family copy; you should have your own personal copy.
- Pick a quiet time when you have no distractions and 15-30 minutes uninterrupted time. Sit down with your Orthodox Study Bible and browse through the contents. Don't worry about jumping in and reading. Simply skim through to familiarize yourself with the various contents and features.
- After this initial session, pick another quiet time with the Orthodox Study Bible. Read Bishop KALLISTOS' article "How to Read Your Bible" (pgs. 1757-1766) for a treatment of the Orthodox approach to studying the Bible.
- After this second session, pick another quiet time with the Orthodox Study Bible. Read Bishop BASIL's article "Overview of the Books of the Bible" (pgs. xv-xx). This article will give you an overview of each specific book and the entire scope of the Bible.
- Each week, use your church calendar and spend the week reading and re-reading the two lessons prescribed for the upcoming Sunday's Liturgy. Read the study notes associated with the reading. This will prepare you for hearing Sunday's homily.
- Once you've started, speak with the priest for advice on a next step in reading and studying the Bible.

Gospel/Epistle for this coming Sunday (29th Sunday after Pentecost/12th Sunday of Luke) – 01/15/12
January 14, 2012 § Leave a comment
THE EPISTLE (For the Twenty-Ninth Sunday after Pentecost)
The Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Colossians. (3:4-11)
Brethren, when Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you once walked, when you lived in them. But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices, and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all.
THE GOSPEL (For the Twelfth Sunday of Luke)
The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. (17:12-19)
At that time, as Jesus entered a village, He was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." When He saw them, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving Him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then said Jesus, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" And He said to Him, "Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well."
Gospel/Epistle for this coming Sunday (The Sunday after Theophany) – 01/08/12
January 5, 2012 § Leave a comment
THE EPISTLE (For the Sunday after Theophany of Christ)
The Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians. (4:7-13)
Brethren, grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it is said, "When He ascended on high He led a host of captives, and He gave gifts to men." (In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that He had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is He who also ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) And His gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
THE GOSPEL (For the Sunday after Theophany of Christ)
The reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. (4:12-17)
At that time, when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee; and leaving Nazareth he went and dwelt in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulon and Naphtali, so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "The land of Zebulon and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned." From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

The organisers of big shows and private parties are falling over each other to rope in some of the biggest names from Bollywood to perform at their shows.
According to reports, in a bid to outrun her compatriots, Parineeti Chopra has slashed her fee to make sure that she is picked for the all-important night.
A source said, "Parineeti was offered to perform along with her Ishaqzaade co-star Arjun Kapoor in Lonavala at one of the town's famous hot spots. The organisers were keen to have a newcomer in their show and were in talks with few other actresses too. Parineeti showed interest in the offer and even cut her fees by 50 per cent. She badly wanted to clinch this offer and has clearly won the race."
Another source said, "Parineeti was initially offered Rs 20 lakh but she later agreed on a much lesser sum. We were more than happy to have her on board."
Apart from Parineeti, actresses like Yami Gautam, Ileana D'Cruz and Aalia Bhatt were apparently also considered.
Parineeti Chopra however denied the buzz and said, "In fact, the occasion being New Year's Eve, it's an opportunity to make double the amount that I would have otherwise charged."

Video is easy to follow and understand. Has good explanation on how to use features. It is not easy to view as the on screen view is to light and hard to see. Cannot read the dialog boxes on screen as they are very light. I have a Mac computer and my commands and menu are different from the on screen ones making it harder to follow the instructions. Overall it is worth the money. Better video would make it better.

3 Must-Have Approaches to Stay on the Cutting Edge
1. Discover New Advertising Methods
The first indicator that you may should explore brand-new advertising
methods, is a sharp decline in
the effectiveness of your advertisment project. Yeah,
you pay out a lot of
tough made cash to
promote, and the public turns its nose
up! Don't wait until your revenues
are plunging to begin searching for brand-new
advertising methods.
Keep looking for the pot of gold. The whirlwind of
change that continually sweeps
with the marketplace offers
fantastic opportunity for
finding brand-new marketing mediums. Be on
the lookout for one that will set you up for brand
brand-new heights of success.
Right here's the guideline for
marketing: Keep 80 percent of your marketing
budget plan invested in the
"attempted and true" methods
that generate a steady flow of revenue,
and invest 20 percent into the exploration of brand-new
ways to buy your message to
prospective clients.
2. Watch For New Markets
Be alert! Diversification is the trick to remaining on the cutting edge of an everchanging marketplace. You'll be insulating yourself versus the
results of these changes by
continually altering. When a brand brand-new market will
translate into millions of dollars in sales, and hey … you
never know!
You don't have to go out on a limb to reach
brand-new markets. There are marketing niches within the market you are currently handling. Consider it like this … your market can be
partitioned into a number of
narrowly specified markets. A Multi Level Marketing
business could discover that
many of its leads are
stay-at-home mothers and senior
citizens. Hey a couple of advertisments directed at the
right people … two additional Web pages
targeting stay-at-home mothers and retirees associateded with their
house page … and they've successfully
personalized their markets and are likely
to see a 20 percent increase in sales.
3. Invest In New Products or Services
Have you discovered a constantly progressing downturn in the sales
and revenues of a service or product you currently
offer? It's no sweat if you have other services and products to fill the gap. Keep a sharp eye out for brand-new services and products that match what you already have to offer.
A bridal store owner may have a humming business that
sells veils and gowns, however
what about tuxedos? Would not it be
easier for the wedding celebration to buy everything in one location? Tuxedos aren't
simply for weddings … proms and
celebrations require bow ties and tails as well. The capacity is
Yeah, you don't have to be frightened
by clever competitors and brand-new
technology when you remain on the edge, and make changes
with it. Attempt these 3 methods to
keep you sales numbers dynamic and climbing!
The first indicator that you may need
to explore brand-new advertising
methods, is a sharp decline in
the effectiveness of your advertisment project.
Don't wait until your revenues are
plunging to begin searching for brand-new
advertising methods.
And hey … you never know when a
