38 | Limited use entitlement for ActivitiesMatt Buchanan1879 - 22 2008 / (1) Much like Sametime was introduced to R6.5, give passport customers who use Notes/Domino a limited use to the Activities part of Lotus Connections. In my (humble, of course :) opinion, Activities is a much better fit functionality wise with Notes/Domino than it is Connections anyway. |
37 | Add a "Community Calendar" to the CommunitiesMario Costa2411 - 19 2009 / (4) One of the things I miss the most on the Connections Communities is the lack of a community calendar. Communities usually have events, calls, meetings, and so on ... it would be very usefull to have a community calendar functionality ... then it could support iCAL and we would be ... |
30 | Admin interfaceThere are a lot of admin-features (configure dogear, removing dogears from users) built in connections, but they are only available through the unfriendly wasadmin interface. It would be awfully usefull if connections had a webadministration / configuration interface. |
22 | Allow multiple assignees for to-do's in ActivitiesMatt Buchanan1879 - 17 2009 / (1) In Activities you can assign a to-do to a single named individual, or 'anyone' - if assigned to 'anyone', then any member of the activity can mark it as complete. What I think might be quite cool was if you were able to assign a to-do to multiple named ... |
21 | Syndicate content from an external blog to your Connections BlogScott Gentzen256 - 05 2008 / (2) What I would like is have the ability for Connections to pull an RSS feed from my blog and repost it in my Connections blog. I would set up a feed just for a particular Connections community and only send items to that feed that I think are releavnt in the ... |
21 | Quickr and Connections should adopt same method of managing user images as SametimeStuart McIntyre1491 - 10 2008 / (6) The Lotus product range is very inconsistent when it comes to manging user photos. You can paste them into a Domino directory to use in Notes. Sametime wants them added to the jpegPhoto field in the LDAP directory. Whereas Quickr wants them available via a WebService (but gives no ... |
20 | Activities - Dynamically sized edit-boxes on Web InterfaceAlex Forbes303 - 23 2008 / (2) Currently, when editing a Comment, To Do or other entry in the Activities web interface, you can only see about 6 or 7 lines of text in the edit box. This makes it very hard to edit entries of non-trivial length. I would like to see an option to make ... |
17 | Service Provider licensing model for Social SoftwareTom Strasheim105 - 20 2009 / (1) IBM should provide a licensing model for service providers to offer their great Social Software products for delivery by hosting companies. The current per user model does not fit well with social software offerings since an effective social community should be viral and not constrained by per user licensing..."we would ... |
17 | Newsletter feature - with HTML options and distribution list mgmtJoyce Davis532 - 26 2010 / (2) Although Lotus Connections has a "mail community" feature, it's an all or nothing proposition. A great newsletter feature would include:
14 | Add external blogs to the Connections listCharles Salmon214 - 13 2008 / (0) for the "hot blogs" area on the right of the blogs page, allow blogs hosted elsewhere (inside the firewall) to this list based on popularity |
14 | Redo the business partner portalLisa Whitsell440 - 28 2009 / (2) Make it easy to get to the information you are looking for and rank partners based on search criteria. Have phone staff search this area when they take calls to ensure customers are routed to partners that can help them effectively. |
14 | Multiple Activities Sites Abound, but only one entry in Client existsKeith Brooks6783 - 22 2009 / (3) While I understand IBM's perspective is one Activities server to a company, what if you have more than 1? what if you belong to Bleedyellow, greenhouse, IBM's, test domain, live domain, other live domain? sure some follow you in the location doc switching but what if you don't switch? ... |
14 | A detailed guide on how to use Tivoli Directory IntegratorTinus Riyanto2738 - 02 2011 / (4) A few months ago I had the chance to try and use Tivoli Directory Integrator. The goal is to try and sync information (from Active Directory to a Lotus Notes Database and between Lotus Notes databases). After installation I thought that I would try the sync between nsf first. It ... |
13 | Make It Easier To Post CommentsPeter Presnell26490 - 19 2010 / (0) IMHO any enterprise 2.0 blogging solution should include the capacity for people outside the company to identify themselves and add comments without having to have a profile registered with Connections. To be effective this should include popular identification models including accounts from poplar public social software products such as FaceBook ... |
12 | Activities - More status optionsAlex Forbes303 - 23 2008 / (1) Currently you can only mark a To Do or Activity as "Complete" or "Incomplete". Having only a boolean choice between these options makes it difficult to see, at a glance, the bigger picture of the activity and makes it harder to collaborate. I'd like to see a system where ... |
12 | Edit version details for FilesPeter Presnell26490 - 17 2010 / (1) After adding a new version of a file it should be possible to edit the description assigned to a specific File |
12 | Trust Public Social NetworksDavid Greenstein101 - 05 2011 / (0) I would like to see Connections give us the ability to present the user with a "Log In With (Facebook|Twitter|LinkedIn)" button. Let us utilize an existing social network instead of having to build another one. This is obviously for public facing Connections deployments. These existing social networks already have user ... |
12 | Connections plugins for LinuxZoltan Szabo5282 - 21 2011 / (0) Hi,
We need Connections Files and Profiles plugins for Linux also. In general, all plugins should be availabla for all platforms.
If IBM sells this technoligie as "paltform independet" |
11 | Profiling the homepageRoberto Boccadoro117 - 13 2010 / (1) Show a given set of widget to a user according to a profilation made ( by org, by company, by an LDAP attribute,...). Every group of users see a different homepage according to their profilation. |

Doing her best Minka Kelly impersonation, Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley's daughter Alexa Ray Joel showed up to a fashion show in NYC on Thursday ... and proved she's not the girl she used to be just six months ago.
The 27-year-old has grown into quite the woman.
We're just sayin'.
The best that money can buy (-; I have to say her surgeon did an awesome job...on her face that is. Her upper half might just be a good push-up bra. If you dig up pics of her say five years ago you'll see she's had A LOT OF WORK DONE. But, her surgeon kept her features interesting without making her look like a generic Barbie doll. In the past she had mentioned how being a super models daughter can put a lot of pressure on a girl in the looks department. To me she's a thousand times prettier and more interesting than her mom...a gifted musician too. Good for her (-;
Well, anything was an improvement on her previous horse face. Although, now instead of looking like a horse, she looks like a tranny. Some people just get hit with the ugly stick and there really is no true cure for that.
So sad that she's trying to fix what's broke on the inside by changing how she looks on the outside.
She looks great in both pictures. On one she is smiling. On one she is not. Hair styles are quite similar. Different makeup but still the same pretty girl.
Must feel quite disconnected inside that plastic numbed out shell.
Ideal environment to get wasted.
If she only understood she is/was more of a beauty than her mother. Her mother gives a good smile, but that's it. Alexa has a deep soul behind those beautiful eyes.

The Band Perry isnât short on style or No. 1 songs.
Members celebrated their fourth No. 1 song âDoneâ with a party at The Bridge Building in Nashville on Monday. With their trademark hairdos perfectly coiffed and their outfits high-end and coordinating but not âmatchy matchy,â as Kimberly Perry said, the sibling trio looked every inch the country stars theyâve recently become.
âWe are excited about the fourth No. 1, the second one in a row off âPioneer,â which the sophomore (album) jitters have gratefully all gone away at this point,â said Kimberly Perry. âWeâre really proud about this one.â I think the coolest thing about a No. 1 is the way it translates live. Every time it hits that spot, you can just tell the fan fervor for that song is just 10 times hotter than anywhere else.â
Neil Perry and Reid Perry, who round out the trio, wrote the song with Nashville duo Jacob Bryant and John Davidson. âDoneâ is the first No. 1 song for each writer.
âJust for Kimberlyâs piece of mind, we always tell her it isnât about her,â quipped Neil Perry. âThatâs what we tell her.â
âI only inspire the really happy songs,â Kimberly Perry shot back.
The trio said the recording of âDoneâ signified members were finished with âPioneer,â which was released earlier this year. It was the last song they recorded for the record.
The song also has become a break-up anthem for the trioâs fans, and Kimberly Perry said the stories from people at their showâs about the song just keep coming.
âThere was this big, burly guy that came through the signing line a couple of nights ago and he said, âMy girlfriend, our song was âBetter Dig Twoâ and now it is âDone,â she said.
Neil Perry added: âAnd now we say âDone,â breaking up relationships everywhere.â
The bandâs new single âDonât Let Me Be Lonelyâ is now playing on country radio.

part of the steering apparatus of a boat or ship that is fastened outside the hull, usually at the stern. The most common form consists of a nearly flat, smooth surface of wood or metal hinged at its forward edge to the sternpost. It operates on the principle of unequal water pressures. When the rudder is turned so that one side is more exposed to the force of the water flowing past it than the other side, the stern will be thrust away from the side that the rudder is on and the boat will swerve from its original course. In small craft the rudder is operated manually by a handle termed a tiller or helm. In larger vessels, the rudder is turned by hydraulic, steam, or electrical machinery.

The Brotherhood/Sister Sol Program
Khari Lazarre-White and Jason Warwin
Dr. Susan Wilcox
512 W. 143rd Street
New York, NY 10031
How it Began — A New Way of Mentoring
Khari Lazarre-White and Jason Warwin have put a new twist on mentoring — by not only giving at-risk youth the tools for academic success, but by also nurturing the mind, body and spirit — their program helps African-American and Latino boys and girls find success.
Khari and Jason have been friends since they were five years old. During their senior year at Brown University, they discovered had a common desire — to help troubled youth transform themselves and their communities.
After graduation, they developed the Brotherhood/Sister Sol Program in Harlem to provide support, guidance, resources and love to African-American and Latino youth. The original participants "were young brothers who were selling drugs, not going to school, didn't have fathers in their lives, and needed support," says Jason. "The concept of 'Brotherhood' symbolized the importance of being men able to support men."
The success of the Brotherhood allowed Khari and Jason to add Sister Sol to their program for African-American and Latina young women. "I've seen so many dramatic changes in myself since I've started attending Sister Sol sessions," says one young woman. "My self-esteem has increased so much."
The Solution — Strong Role Models
"We need to be there in the sense of a true family, to do whatever we can to help them become successful," says Khari. "One of the things we felt from the beginning is that too often you hear about black and Latino youth 'surviving.' And that's not enough. We need to raise the bar — they also must excel."
About 100 young men and women now participate in the program each year. One young man in their program says, "Khari and Jason to me are like angels on your shoulder because they are always there."
Successful Programming
Brotherhood/Sister Sol offers an after school program 5-6 days a week, tutoring opportunities, computer classes, summer camps, and an international study program that has taken students to Egypt, South Africa, Morocco and Mexico. Khari says, "We study the history and the politics and the culture of the place that we go. It takes them to a whole other level, one which they never come back down from. It elevates them."
In addition to fun activities, the program also teaches kids about African-American and Latino history and offers educational workshops. Jason says, "What we end up doing often times is really trying to re-teach how men and women should interact with each other."
Brotherhood/Sister Sol is designed to support its participants for as long as they need it. One young man from the program says, "What really inspired me is I know that I have people in my corner that actually care about me and have interest in what I'm going to be and who I am going to be when I get older."

It look like Momma Oprah has about 2.54 million reasons to breath a sign of relief seeing that one of the worlds biggest stars interview didn't land on deaf ears.
Sunday night's "Next Chapter" with superstar Rihanna gained a ton of viewers as she opened up to the pro talk show host in ways a Producer can only dream. Robyn — as known by her lovely country of Barbados– held nothing back discussing her hectic profession, her love of family, the demons that surround us all, and how she feels about her former flame Chris Brown.
For me it was a 45 minutes (minus the commercials) of sheer excitement. I prefer more revealing interviews than the "fluff". And, Oprah — nor Rihanna didn't disappoint.
Previous guests on the show included The Kardashians (1.1m, 1.2m), Lady Gaga (0.8m), Steven Tyler (0.9m, 1.2m) and Pastor Joel Osteen (1.6m).

This is my most ambitious frame-by-frame animation yet, and I'm very pleased with the results.
This cartoon got its start about 4 years ago as a flip-book that I never finished. about a year ago, I found some of the index cards with drawings of chickens and eggs, and decided to make a flash cartoon. I worked on it for a few days, but didn't really have the hang of frame-by-frame yet, so I put it aside until a few days ago.
In the past two days I did about 3/4 of the animation, drew the background, dug up the sound effects (with a little help from a friend - thanks p3g) and edited the music. Being unemployed seemed to help my ability to animate, go figure.
The music is by Danny Barnes, check out his website by clicking on his name at the end of the toon.
I've rambled on enough - I hope you enjoy this cartoon, 4 years in the making... sort of. Enjoy!
All you people complaining about the background can be happier now, I've re-drawn the background so it fits more with the drawing style of the chicken, because.. um. Yeah, you were right. The background was kinda sketchy.
Since this hit the front page (*still running around, waving arms, screaming wildly*) I've gotten so many reviews that I'm not gonna be able to reply to each one... But I do still read them all, and I do reply to some, so please keep reviewing. Thanks!
I've been noticing that this toon is continuing to recieve a steady flow of views, more than I expected, since it's off the front page and has been for months and months now... Then, one day, while doing a casual look about on Newgrounds, I happened to notice if you click the "Toons" link and scroll down a bit, my toon appears right there, with 3 other toons, one of which happens to be "There She Is," which happens to be one of my favorite toons EVER. So I'm not only in extraordinarily good company, I've also got a pretty nice piece of real-estate for this toon without even knowing it. That's fantastic, and I'd just like to thank the NG staff for putting me there, it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Thank you.
Rated 4 / 5 stars August 23, 2011
I thought something would pop out. Good job on fooling me. Though I give it an 8 because I wanted to see some more carnage.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Following the June 29 derecho, some area residents took steps to be prepared in the wake of storms and power outages.
That foresight is coming in handy now.
The storm that swept over the state on June 29 knocked out power for several days for many area residents. As this week's winter storm approached, there were those who were ready.
Howard "Mo" Persinger had power at his Charleston law office but none at his South Hills home on Tuesday.
"I have a gasoline generator that will run lights, refrigerator and heat," Persinger, 43, said when contacted on his cellphone. "I am filling cans with gas right now."
That generator was purchased in the midst of the derecho, he said. He got up on a Saturday morning and went to Lowe's and Home Depot in search of a backup source of power. He left empty-handed. He finally had success at Sears.
"It was 10 a.m. when I got in line," he recalled. "I got the last one."
He and his wife have 6-year-old twin daughters who are not bothered by a power outage, he said. However, he has done his best to make sure his family is comfortable. He was prepared in advance with lanterns, flashlights, batteries and plenty of water.
Melinda and Sam Sutton live in South Hills with their four children ranging in age from 7 to 13. When the lights flickered at 10 a.m. Tuesday, the Suttons immediately made reservations at a local hotel. Then they lost power.
"Last summer taught us it could last longer than a day or two," Melinda said.
They were prepared this time with water, food, batteries and flashlights. They made sure laundry was caught up and firewood was plentiful before the power outage. By mid-afternoon on Tuesday, they were enjoying the crackling fire and making plans to head to the hotel if they still had no electricity by dark.

Lakhdar Brahimi traveled to Istanbul from Saudi Arabia amid growing tensions between Syria and its northern neighbor Turkey.
On Wednesday, Turkey intercepted a Syrian passenger plane en route from Moscow to Damascus and seized what it said was military equipment on board.
Syria denounced the move as air piracy and Russia has said the cargo was radar parts that complied with international law.
Davutoglu will also meet separately in Istanbul with Arab leaders and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle for talks on the Syria crisis Saturday.

Travel Insurance
The Department of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance which will cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before travelling to Mauritius. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake.
Irish Citizens should note that the Irish Government does not provide funds for emergency medical repatriation or for repatriation of remains.
Entry Requirements
Irish passport holders do not do not need to obtain visas before arrival. A visa, normally valid for three months, will be issued on arrival to holders of valid Irish passports in possession of return tickets.
You must hold a valid passport to enter Mauritius. Your passport must be valid for a minimum period of six months from the date of entry into Mauritius. You may be refused entry to Mauritius if your passport has less than six months validity remaining or if you do not have a return ticket.
If you intend to work in Mauritius, you must arrange a work permit in advance.
Entry requirements should be checked in advance with the nearest Embassy of Mauritius. Contact details are available here.
Diplomatic and Consular Missions
The Embassy of Ireland in South Africa is accredited to Mauritius. Contact details are available here.
Any citizen of an EU State in a country where their own country does not have a resident Consular Mission is entitled to seek assistance from any other EU Consular Mission resident in that country.
Safety and Security
In Mauritius, you can call the police (emergency) by dialling 999 or 112, the medical emergency service by calling 999 or 114 and the fire service by dialling 995 or 115.
You can drive on your Irish driving licence, but you must have it with you at all times. Vehicles drive on the left. Speed limits are posted in kilometres per hour and all road and traffic signs are posted in English. Drivers and all passengers are required to wear seat belts. Drivers and passengers on motorcycles are required to wear helmets. Babies and toddlers should be placed in child seats. The standard of driving varies and there are frequent minor accidents. Be particularly careful when driving after dark as roads are often narrow and uneven with inadequate lighting. Speed limits are strictly enforced and camera speed checks are very common and speeding fines are substantial.
Petty crime is common, with many active pickpockets and purse snatchers in popular tourist areas including Port Louis, Grand Baie and Flic en Flac. It is recommended that visitors keep their valuables in hotel safes, where possible, and make copies of important documents, including passports.
Mauritius has generally low levels of violent crime. However travellers are advised to exercise caution at all times. Avoid walking alone at night on deserted/public beaches or in poorly lit areas especially in the back streets of the business district of Port Louis.
While there have been no attacks by pirates in Mauritian waters, vessels have been attacked up to 1000 miles off the Somali coast. Sailing vessels are especially vulnerable so visitors are advised not to travel in yachts or pleasure craft in international waters in this part of the Indian Ocean.
Local Laws and Customs
Local Laws
The Mauritian authorities take a serious approach to drug trafficking. Attempts to import even very small amounts are punished severely. Prosecutions can take over a year to come to court, with detention the norm until the trial. Bail is not usually granted for drug-related crimes, regardless of the type of drug. It is also illegal to possess or import cigarette papers.
Visitors requiring prescription medication are advised to bring copies of their prescription with them. Scheduled drugs, such as psychotropic preparations (e.g. tranquillisers, hypnotics), narcotics (e.g. morphine) and other strong pain killers require, by law, authorisation before import. Failure to obtain prior authorisation may result in arrest. Visitors are advised to consult with the Mauritian High Commission in London if they believe their prescription medications may require prior authorisation.
The police sometimes ask foreigners to show identification. It is recommended to carry photocopies of the relevant pages of your passport and driving licence and leave the original in a safe place.
Homosexuality is not illegal in Mauritius, but it is as well to bear in mind that society in general is quite traditional in its outlook.
Natural Disasters and Climate
Mauritius is a tropical island just above the Tropic of Capricorn in the Indian Ocean. It has good all year round temperatures. In summer, (November to April) the temperature ranges between 26°C and 32°C. In winter, (May and October) the temperature ranges from 20°C to 26°C with July experiencing the lowest temperatures, on average about 21°C. The water temperature of the Indian Ocean can go up to 28°C. Mauritius can experience heavy rainfall between January and March.
The cyclone season in Mauritius normally runs from November to May. Cyclones can cause extensive damage to property. The authorities have a well-structured system of phased warnings. You should follow advice issued by the local authorities.
Additional Country Info
The currency in Mauritius is the rupee. Bureaux de Change and ATM machines are widely available in most towns on the island and at large shopping centres. Credit cards are accepted by most hotels, restaurants and large retailers.
Good private healthcare in Mauritius is available, although this can be costly if you are not insured. Make sure you have adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds to cover the cost of any medical treatment abroad and repatriation.
Malarial mosquitoes are not found in Mauritius.
Stonefish stings are uncommon but can in some cases be fatal. You should obtain urgent medical attention if stung. Many hotels stock anti-venom serum.
If you need emergency medical assistance during your trip, dial 999 or 114 and ask for an ambulance. You should contact your insurance/medical assistance company promptly if you are referred to a medical facility for treatment.
Diplomatic and Consular Missions
The Embassy of Ireland in South Africa is accredited to Mauritius. Contact details are available here.
Any citizen of an EU State in a country where their own country does not have a resident Consular Mission is entitled to seek assistance from any other EU Consular Mission resident in that country.

I went to Toaster Oven again. This time though I got the turkey; not to shaby. Instead of putting a few of there awsome peppers in the end of the sandwich, taking a bit, then repeating, I put them all on right away. The total this time around for the sandwich, iced tea, and soup was only $8.12! What a awesome deal! Rock on Toaster Oven!

I don't really need a deep fryer. Does anyone really need one? But if I did I would want this one. Pretty bad ass... if I wanted I could make my own deep fried snickers bars, chicken wings, twinkies, cheese sticks ... Alex was wondering what a breaded deep fried egg would taste like. I think we're going to order this just to find out. What would you through into this thing? |

alexjako | #64 Subject: Feeling the Christmas Magic Posted: 12/16/2005 01:55:35 |
Well it's that time of year, time to spread the love and yule tide cheer, and what better way to do that then by visiting the Magic Winter Wonder land us 1Uppers refer to as THE ASIAN UNDER GROUND!
Now some of you, all three of you who read my Blog about our experiences with the Pig Blood Dish will remember THE ASIAN UNDER GROUND, and for those of you who don't care. Basically THE ASIAN UNDER GROUND is the hight of SF Cuisine a Veritable United Nations of restaurants, if the UN consisted entirly of Asian Nations and Mexico! So the other Day Grub clubber Dave P mentioned we had to go see THE ASIAN UNDER GROUND, cause in his words â??Ya gotta go if you wanna see Christmas decor done, RIGHT!â?? so off we went, and how could this place not do Christmas decor right, they sport Holiday colors all year long. Well upon entrance we are greeted by this charming Bear Wreath Which looks like something they got at a flea market, and I am fairly certain they did since most of the food seems to have come from one as well. Well going down the stairs we are greeted by the closest thing to a winter wonder land one can find in 65 degree and sunny weather. All I am thinking is â??HO HO HOâ??. Oh and Speaking of Ho's here is one of the Chicks from House Of Lumpia. Nopadon says this chick will party with ANYONE! But I digress this is the grub club, maybe this is a topic better left for the Where did I get this Itch Club? And here it is as Papandrew Promised â??Christmas decor done Rightâ??. The Only word I can think of is MAGIC! The Lava Lamps add a whole other layer, like the Nutcracker Suite meet Hair. Perhaps it is a subtle nod to San Francisco's Psychedelic Sixties, when the ASIAN UNDERGROUND was last cleaned. I honestly have not seen this much Christmas Diversity since that awesome 1984 ABC made for TV Movie That showed Santa dressed in all his different costumes, from around the world, which has never been seen on TV since after it was deemed too â??Offensiveâ??. Well..... It did have the Mexican version of Santa Dressed in a poncho and Sombrero, French Version in a Berte and a sack full of Baggetts, and the Irish Santa Looked the same as the classic Red and White Santa, 'cept he was Drunk, so I guess it was a little offensive. But nothing took my breath away as much as this Ladies and Gentlemen we have a celebrity in the house, yes this Christmas tree (On Loan from the Estate Of Charles Schultz) was the inspiration for the tree featured in Merry Christmas Charlie Brown. Dave P was right I had not seen Christmas d?©cor this good since well.... EVER! For those of you who want to experience true Christmas magic the ASIAN UNDERGROUND food court is located at 380 Bush St San Francisco, CA |
nopstar | #65 Subject: Taco Sub Par Posted: 01/20/2006 12:55:07 |
Went into Taco sub par with Benge.
I'll order a fish taco any chance I get. Not too many taquerias have them on the menu. As I was waiting in line, I did see the "Gordon" fish sticks in the bin. Had my reservations but decided to stay the course. The flour tortillas were cold and tasted exactly like the one's you can buy at safeway. Ground beef in your taco? Yeah it's called Taco bell and they've got that covered. Rubio's is far better then this place. Don't waste your time. I give Taco Del Mar 4 turds. |
Kimi | #66 Subject: Taco Del Mar Posted: 01/20/2006 19:46:20 |
was yuck. I had a shrimp burrito. Only finished half of it...bleh I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. Big disappointment after eating at the taco truck.
BuckshotBoy | #67 Subject: Taco Del Mar (if only I had read this board first...) Posted: 01/23/2006 18:16:44 |
So I just got back from Taco Del Mar.
Verdict: Big disappointment. I should've known something was amiss from the get go. Taco Guy: What would you like? Me: How do you prepare your fish? Taco Guy: What do you mean? Me: You know, do you grill it? Do you fry it? Taco Guy: Oh...we bake it. So at this point, you're thinking. Yeah Dave, you got what you deserved. Who the f--k "BAKES" the fish in their fish taco?!? Well, this being San Francisco and all, I figured they must know something I don't. Maybe this is the new, new thing?! Besides, there were people in the restaurant munching on their tacos and burritos. So when I saw them put what appeared to be breaded, fried fish into the taco, I figured the taco guy was just clueless. But upon biting into the taco I realized that he was indeed correct. It was a freaking "baked" fish stick. All I can say is if you're gonna call it Taco DEL MAR you damned well better do a kickass fish taco. This lazy-ass fish stick business is for the birds... |
Benge | #68 Subject: Taco del Mar Posted: 01/23/2006 21:15:54 |
Gotta agree with these folks... Taco del Mar is not worth the trip. In a market other than San Francisco, maybe they could get away with crappy overpriced faux-Mexican. It tastes like they use Sara Lee frozen taco shells and Old El Paso ground taco meat. We made better Mexican food in New Jersey in the 80s.
Also, what's up with the Latin Muzak? The stuff coming out of their sound system made me laugh a couple times. Better alternatives: Si Senor is not great, but it's better and it's right across the street; Chipotle, around the corner, is also not great, but at least the ingredients are real; El Faro is much better, on Mission & 1st. Or if you can walk a bit, the ever-good Cancun is on Market & 6th (but I realize that's not realistic for a lunch run). |

Finding the promise of great things in small beginnings, Hooker's Gumbo Shack delivered on its name's flavor. Best item today was the fried oyster po'boy sandwich, served with a dill sour cream sauce on the side and home made chips. Gumbo 2nd, Cajun burger OK. We all agreed on a return trip for the generous fried chicken & catfish platters with 2 sides each. Service was a little slow but very friendly, like you'd expect if you were in n'orleans. The menu is pictured, so you can call ahead to place your order. This was the only menu in the house, not kidding, charming. Humble beginnings, great promise - meaning as the lunchtime crowd grows I expect service and overall everything will only get better, but the food is pretty much there, so go. $-$$. Deserts were to die for and made by the waitress. 35 6th Street @ Market.

Because no one around San Francisco seems to serve poutine, we're going to make it sometime soon... in our office.
What is poutine, you ask? It's a Canadian and Great Lakes treat -- french fries with cheese curds and gravy. From "What in the world is a Cheese Curd?": Cheese curds, booyah and beer, That's what I like to hear. I may be kinda pokey, But I say "okey-dokey!" To cheese curds, booyah and beer. |

nopstar | #82 Subject: Dim Sum Posted: 11/01/2005 12:37:12 |
Dim sum (literally dot heart or order heart, meaning order to one's heart's content; also commonly translated as touch the heart, dotted heart, or snack), a Cantonese term, is usually a light meal or brunch, eaten sometime from morning-to-early afternoon with family or friends.
Local (Downtown SF) Canton Dim Sum House Today I went out to lunch with our engineering team. We chose Canton because it's a lot more reasonably priced then Yank Sing. You get what you pay for... The place is pretty cheap but the Dim Sum is shite. Most of the stuff on the carts looked as if they've been on the carts all day. When we got our food, it was mostly cold on the inside. If it's your first Dim Sum experience I would stay away. Yank Sing The other week a bunch of us decided to go out for a dim sum outing. Alex was trying to get Wendy to eat the "phoenix talon" AKA chicken feet. The dim sum is pretty good, but it isn't cheap. I was a little annoyed at being charged $1.50 pp for tea and refills. If you really want dim sum and you don't mind dropping $20pp you should check it out. My recommendations: San Francisco My favorite place in the city is South Sea Seafood Village it's out on 16th and Irving. it's a small trek to get out there but it's well worth the effort. No carts to order from, only menu. I like the menu because the dim sum goes from the kitchen straight to you. They used to serve deep fried shrimp wrapped in bacon, with a mayonnaise dipping sauce. Exactly, nuff said! Daly City Koi palace is the bomb, if you ever find yourself in DC, swing by Koi Palace. I think it has the some of the best Dim Sum in the Bay. The restaurant is super kitsch, it feels like your on the set of Crouching Tiger. If you go, you've got to order the Peking duck "wraps" I know it sounds very California, but trust me it's the shit. NYC Hop Key on Mott St. The place is very small, so be prepared to wait. Be prepared to share a table, I've had some really interesting experiences "sharing" tables there. The service is a bit janky, but what the hell you get what you pay for. What you get though, is fantastic dim sum served up in a diner like atmosphere. So where do you get your pork buns? |
Benge | #83 Subject: Lovely Poutine Posted: 11/01/2005 13:26:11 |
Oh, I love love love my poutine... that was one of my favorite things about Montreal. (Their bagels are pretty excellent too -- denser, more ring-shaped than the giant balls of dough in NYC, and a bit sweet, with a substantial crust.) Anyway, for those of you who don't know, poutine is french fries with gravy and cheese curds. The gravy goes great with the fries, and the cheese curds are delightfully bouncy and squeaky on the teeth... you have to try it to see why it's so tasty. I was served my poutine by a surly waitress sporting a serious mullet complete with rat tail. Sweetness.
Oh, and my Canadian roommate from college told me there was a popular show in Montreal when he was a teenager that lampooned Americans' ignorance of their neighbors to the north. They'd walk around the street interviewing people. So one day they decided to ask everyone, "What do you think of Prime Minister Poutine's policies on free trade?" or something like that. I think they even got some high-up politicians to fall for it. The cheese curd-and-gravy prime minister. Granted, it's an obscure term down here, but the Canadians thought it was hilarious. |
nopstar | #84 Subject: I love you plate lunch Posted: 11/09/2005 20:09:53 |
I love you plate lunch.
If you have never experinced a Hawaiian plate lunch, you need to go immediately. I put plate lunch into my top 3 favorite dining experinces. I won't get into the plate lunch menu items today, I'll reserve that for another post. So plate lunch is a Hawaiian thing, it's also vaguely Asian. A plate lunch typically consists of two scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and some sort of grilled meat. The grilled meat can range from Teriyaki beef, Korean Kalbi, Japanse Katsu etc. Serioulsy BBQ meat, rice and mac salad. What else do you need? Plate lunch is for big eaters. You're not getting out of there for less then 2500 calories... My favorite brunch item is the "Loco Moco". It's made with two scoops of rice, two hamburger patties 2 fried eggs all smothered in gravy. Okay if you at it everyday you would probably be dead in a year. Trust me though, it's amazing. Plate lunch is sort of prevalent in the Bay area. I've been to a few and this is how I rate them. The Largest Plate lunch chain is L&L They've got the full menu. This is the real deal, standard stuff. I think the BBQ chicken masubi is toit. The one I frequent is in Daly City... because that's how I roll. We're in luck though I was walking down Kearny I see that they are in the process of openning one there. Ono Grill on Sloat This place is identical to L&L so it gets high marks Hukilau This place is exceptional. You can eat plate lunch here and not feel like your eating at Mc D's Everything is good. If you go try the tuna poke, and the loco moco. Richard Li thinks this is the best loco moco he's ever had. Those are pretty big words, considering he's from Hawaii. Ono Grill (Pacifica) Not associated with the Ono grill chain. This is a small mom and pop resturant out on Moss beach. It's a trek, but if you find yourself out there you know where to go. I had the teri beef, you definatley get generous portions. I like it because it doesn't taste like it came from one of the big chains resturant. I'm still trying to figure out if that is a good thing or not. Service is slow... but your already so far from home so who gives a shit. Hawaiian Drive Inn Resturant. They all have the same damn name... what's up with that? This place is ok |
pe2z | #85 Subject: kick ass Posted: 11/09/2005 21:26:42 |
ive never tried it before, and i don't think ive even seen a place that makes it.. man, there has to be Some hawaiin places in ontario :S the plate on the right looks really good, im not too sure about the one on the left.. the meat looks kind of.. interesting lol
BuckshotBoy | #86 Subject: Plate Lunch Posted: 11/10/2005 13:48:27 |
Alright, I'll weigh in cuz I grew up in Hawaii and still consider it my home even though I don't live there.
First off, plate lunches are awesome. They are also gut-busters. I used to eat them much more regularly when I was a teen-ager/20-something. Everyone has their favorite. I'm partial to shoyu chicken (basically chicken thighs braised in a soy-sauce mixture). As Nopadon indicates a plate lunch isn't a plate lunch unless it has: 2 scoops of rice (this is key -- if the place skimps on the rice, it ain't authentic), 1 scoop of macaroni salad and some sort of meat. That being said, my favorite plate lunch in Honolulu is the venerable Graces Inn. It seems to have fallen out of favor to newer plate lunch joints, but it's still my favorite. Graces "twist" on the plate lunch is that the meat gets served on a bed of chow-fun noodles (how whack is that?). And, like a few other plate-lunch joints that go the extra-mile, they also will serve you kim-chee on the side if you request it (I _always_ get the kimchee add-on). And, if you're feeling "healthy" you can always ask the Graces cashier for a salad in lieu of the mac salad (but then it's not a "true" plate lunch, is it?). In San Francisco, I think L&L is your best bet. L&L Drive Inn in Hawaii is always a solid option if you are in a neighborhood and need a consistently good plate-lunch option. I've been to the Hawaiian Drive Inn (in the Excelsior district), it's pretty good. But other than that, I haven't had as extensive experience as Nopadon (Hukilau is good, but it's a sit down restaurant). As for things to get: A couple other random things that many plate lunch joints will have: Ox tail soup, Tripe stew (mmm), Bento boxes (usually a 4-meat extravaganza: spam, katsu, fish, beef). If the meal is good, the proper pidgen is: "Brok' da mout'" or "Ono kine grinds" ; |

Da Kine Mixed Plate
Ok, so I see people discussing the Hawaiian Mixed Plate Lunch, and I gotta say "bra' you don know da kine mixed plate unless you've been to Aloha Mixed Plate in Lahina By far the best location - right by the marina, over looking the water. By far the best Kalua Pig - moist with just the right amount of cabbage. By far the best Mahi Mahi - grilled plain with just a dash of soy and lemon. When on Maui - it's definately worth a stop by (hell, go there daily if you can!) |
nopstar | #89 Subject: Burgers! Posted: 12/01/2005 13:42:16 |
So here is my list of the best burgers, I'll give French Fries the respect they deserve by giving them there own post later.
1.) Burger Joint 2.) Nations 3.) In-n-Out 4.) Sliders 4.) Mr. Smiths (Washington DC) 5.) Carl's Jr. $6 Burger (that's right bitches) 6.) White Castle 7.) "Master" Dong (I don't think he is actually a master) I've never had the $60 Rossini Burger at the Mandalay Bay, but on principle alone I plan to. "The menu features a number of specialty burgers including the $60 Rossini burger made with Kobe beef, sauteed foie gras, shaved truffles and Madeira sauce on an onion bun. Most overhyped bullshit burger: Joe's Cable Car |

North Carolina legislative leaders will unveil a plan Wednesday to pay back a massive debt to the federal government. The state owes nearly $2.5 billion for money it borrowed during the recession to pay for unemployment insurance.
Legislators in charge of the plan to pay that back say the solution will likely include fewer benefits for the unemployed and higher taxes for some businesses.
North Carolina's unemployment insurance is fully funded by businesses. Most of them pay a tax on every employee they have, and that money goes into a giant trust fund.

Early detection and treatment are the keys for a disease affecting women. This year in America, more than 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 43,000 will die.
One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. If detected early, the five-year survival rate exceeds 95%. Mammograms are among the best early detection methods, yet 13 million U.S. women 40 years of age or older have never had a mammogram.
Oakwood is here to help. We offer a variety of services that specialize in you. We are committed to generally improving overall breast health in every woman we treat.
Common myths about breast cancer
If breast cancer doesn't run in your family, you won't get it. No. Every woman has some risk of breast cancer. The majority of women with breast cancer have no family history. For those women who do have a family history of breast cancer, screening may need to begin earlier. If you are concerned, discuss your family history with your physician or a genetic counselor.
Only your mother's family history of breast cancer can affect your risk. No. A history of breast cancer in your mother's OR your father's family will influence your risk equally. That's because half of your genes come from your mother, half from your father.
A monthly breast self-exam is the best way to diagnose breast cancer. No. While breast self exams are important, high-quality mammography is still the most reliable way to find breast cancer as early as possible.

Update all PostgreSQL ports to latest version. Remove postgresql-contrib in favour for postgresqlNN-contrib. This way we will get packages built, which is nice. Security: CVE-2010-1169 Security: CVE-2010-1170 The PostgreSQL Project today released minor versions updating all active branches of the PostgreSQL object-relational database system, including versions 8.4.4, 8.3.11, 8.2.17, 8.1.21, 8.0.25, and 7.4.29. This release fixes moderate-risk security issues with PL/perl and PL/tcl, as well as a data corruption issue with standby databases. Users of any of these three features should update their PostgreSQL installations immediately. The PL/perl security fix closes a security hole in PL/perl procedures which could allow privilege escalation on the host system, caused by a flaw in Safe.pm; see CVE-2010-1169 and CVE-2010-1447 for details. A second patch prevents PL/tcl's pltcl_modules table from being subverted in order to run arbitrary Tcl scripts; see CVE-2010-1170. These issues only affect users who have enabled either of these two stored procedure languages. Also corrected is use of the command ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE, which previously could cause data corruption on Warm Standby database slaves. This issue affects only version 8.4. There are also 21 other bug fixes in this release, some of which apply only to version 8.4, and a few of which are specifically for Windows. While these are generally fixes for minor issues, among the changes are: * Fix for a combinational crash condition * Prevent normal users from resetting some GUCs in their own role definitions * Correctly apply constraint exclusion in UPDATE and DELETE queries * Minor fixes for WAL archiving * Update timezone data for 12 zones See the release notes for a full list of changes with details.

In her own words: living with kidney failure
Back to Document
by Badash M
Michelle is a 29-year-old, part-time schoolteacher. She is engaged and lives with her fiance and seven-year-old daughter. Her fiance has two children, ages 4 and 6, who stay with them every other weekend.
What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?
I was 24 weeks pregnant when I first knew something was wrong. I had trouble breathing every time I lay down. At first, I thought I had something like bronchitis, because I had been experiencing sinus symptoms for a few days. It got much worse, and finally one night I could barely breathe when I lay down.
I went to the emergency room, and found out that my blood pressure was extremely high and I had pre-eclampsia. They immediately admitted me to the hospital and put me on bed rest. I was in the hospital one week when they decided they couldn't wait any longer, and I gave birth to my daughter via emergency caesarean section. She weighed one pound and seven ounces at birth. They fully expected that once they delivered her, I would be fine. But I wasn't. I got worse and went into renal (kidney) failure.
I started dialysis when my daughter was 5 days old. I also developed HUS (hemolytic uremic syndrome), or HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets), as it's sometimes called. This is a rare blood disorder in which your body destroys platelets, which help your blood to clot. Since I had just had a caesarean section, this was a serious problem. In addition to dialysis, they gave me plasmapheresis, chemotherapy, and about 55 blood transfusions. I was very, very sick. I nearly died several times before they finally got me stabilized.
What was the diagnosis experience like?
My first dialysis treatment was performed in my hospital room on an emergency basis by my nephrologist. At first, they tried to get a femoral line (in my groin), but couldn't because my blood pressure was so high. So they put in an intra-jugular line in my neck. I was very scared. Because this was an emergency, no one really took the time to explain to me what was going on. They just started sticking needles everywhere. I had severe pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), so they had to put a CPAP mask on me to help me breathe. I couldn't even talk to ask questions about what was going on. I was terrified and I also felt so sick that I really thought I was going to die.
Finally, in addition to dealing with the failure of my kidneys, I was also dealing with postpartum feelings and not knowing if my tiny newborn baby was going to live or die.
What was your initial and then longer-term reaction to the diagnosis?
My initial reaction to my diagnosis was hopelessness. I couldn't imagine having dialysis three times a week for the rest of my life. I thought that my life as a normal human being was over, and I wanted to just give up at first. Had it not been for the fact that I had a newborn baby to take care of, I probably would have just given up. I was only 22 when this happened. I had never been married and I was sure that I would never find anyone who would love and accept me, especially with my illness.
Since then, my long-term reaction has changed drastically. I have discovered that I am a much stronger person than I ever dreamed. I have also discovered that your life doesn't have to stop just because your kidneys do. I know now that you can do anything that you put your mind to. It took several years of going through the steps of the grief process for me to get to this point. I was sad, then I was angry, I was in denial and now I have finally reached acceptance.
How do you manage kidney failure?
I have hemodialysis treatments three times a week, three and a half hours a treatment. I am on four different types of blood pressure medication three times a day to control my hypertension. I am also on Coumadin (a blood thinner) to keep my blood thin enough so that it doesn't clot.
Have you made any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to kidney failure?
I can no longer be spontaneous when it comes to traveling. All trips must be planned around my dialysis schedule. Otherwise, I have to make arrangements to dialyze wherever I am going. That has been the thing I hate the most.
I am on fluid restriction (32 oz per day), potassium and phosphorus restriction (which includes limiting my intake of dairy products, certain fruits and vegetables, chocolate, and nuts, among other things). The hardest for me is the fluid restriction because I am a very active person.
Did you seek any type of emotional support?
I have visited several online and real life support groups. Mostly, it helps me to educate others about kidney disease, dialysis, and transplantation. I like it when people ask me questions—I'd rather answer a question, than have them assume something incorrect.
Does kidney failure have any impact on your family?
My daughter, who is seven, doesn't understand that sometimes I am tired after dialysis. She thinks because I just "sit there" during my treatment I should feel rested. Because I look healthy, some people don't understand that dialysis drains me. I don't know how to explain to people how I feel after dialysis. I wish that my loved ones could walk just one day in my shoes to see what it's like.
What advice would you give to anyone living with kidney failure?
My best advice for someone living with kidney failure is to educate yourself about your disease as much as possible. Learning things that you can do to improve and lengthen your life is the key to success.
Living your life as normal as possible will help you. Go to school, work, do as much as you can do physically to keep your mind and body as fit as possible. Don't ever use dialysis as an excuse to get out of things that you can do.
But most of all, stay positive. You will be surprised what a positive outlook can accomplish.
