- Very limited menu. This isReenaVIPDined on 7/22/2012Very limited menu. This is our 2nd time here and I've eaten everything I would ever want. The back room is very dark, difficult to read the menu or see your food. Just as we were finished a family arrived at the next table with a crying infant. We were gone. We will not return.
- Good food, nothing special,ejanszkDined on 7/21/2012Good food, nothing special, but it was a quick and tasty meal before going to the movies. No complaints at all.Special Features:
- The meal was very good, ourOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/13/2012The meal was very good, our waitress was very helpful and recommended some really good sushi rolls. She was very freindly and helpful and made the restaurant meal that much better. The restuarant was quiet but nice, we sat at the front of the restuaurant and we were not disappointed in the meal. I was recommended this restuaruant by a friend and was not dissapointed in the experience. I went with a friend and for just two girlfriends out for a dinner it was a bit quiet but the food more than made up for it. I would definitely recommend it to others especially for a more romantic setting.Special Features:
- An abundance of selectionsmamamiaDined on 6/26/2012An abundance of selections satisfied the varied tastes of our party of three. The food was beautifully presented and was prepared with fresh ingredients. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive. Happy hour prices were great. We will definitely return!Special Features:
- Awful awful servicetheirfanVIPDined on 6/23/2012What on earth is going on with that guy bartender? And all the other bar staff??? Had to ask for water FOUR times.. Would not give me a menu for food. It took ten minutes fr the menu twenty for the water. I understand he liked his baseball game but jeez... Don't try to order food or drink and certainly not water.
- over-priced for neighborhoodbunnysbestDined on 6/23/2012over-priced for neighborhood spot. Food is OK - plentiful but not great.
- Service was slow. Took a longOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/19/2012Service was slow. Took a long time to get cocktail ordered. Appetizers came to the table before the cocktail order was sent to the table.
- Worth a visitDChandlerDined on 6/13/2012unassuming from the outside. Nice modern decor on the inside. I was pleasantly surprised by my visit to Amber West. Service was a bit dry, but attentive.Special Features:
- Awesome Asian Fusion diningOPERAGALSDined on 6/12/2012This LIncoln Center area Asian fusion restaurant is just great. Most affordable for lunch, the choice of Japanese, Chines and even Thai dishes are stunningly prepared, and always wonderful. I found table service to be inconsistent, and anyone seated near the windows in winter had better be prepared to wear their coat throughout their meal. The banquet room in the back is a find; large, good for bigger parties, and with a different atmosphere than the front of the restaurant. Bathrooms are creatively designed, staff is friendly, and they are willing to honor special requests. Its' a regular for me for Japanese food (not in my neighborhood). Very enjoyable.Special Features:
- We were never sure who wasDrCathyDined on 6/11/2012We were never sure who was actually our waiter. When we asked for water, it arrived without ice, and we assumed that it was served that way. As the restaurant filled up, we noticed that everyone else was given water with ice; when I asked one waiter about it, I joked with "Why didn't we get water with ice, because we didn't have you for a waiter?" Restaurant smelled fishy when we walked in...not a good sign for sushi! After we were finished eating, we had to flag someone down (not our waiter) to get the check, then waited forever for change. I would find another sushi restaurant next time; picked this one because it was close to the location where we were conducting business...nice neighborhood, tho.

- The restaurant was very noisyReenaVIPDined on 5/13/2012The restaurant was very noisy and much too dark. The portions were tasty, but very small. I ordered crispy duck and the duck was very fatty and maybe there were three pieces. I don't know the exact number because I couldn't see my plate. Also included on my square plate in each of the corners were large pieces of bok choy including the bulbs. Not edible. Since I had so little to eat I had dessert, which I rarely do, but I was hungry and it was Mother's Day. I ordered the lava cake. It came to the table with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the cake, because it was awful. My husband's meal was okay as was my son's- nothing to recommend. I would not return.
- Excellent!! Just for yourOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/9/2012Excellent!! Just for your info, If you like spicy food...

The sushi that my son had looked good, and he liked it well enough. The place is very comfortable, and the staff aims to please. For the area, the prices are fair. All in all we will probably return.Special Features:

I had the seaweed salad which was actually good, but I can't say the same for the rest of my meal. The red dragon roll was so bad I had to send it back and the pineapple fried rice was etible at best. Skip Amber and check out Citrus right down the street.Special Features:

- I'd been to ths restuarantOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 1/27/2012I'd been to ths restuarant over the years for lunch and decided to go hear for a dinner date. A few things made it not a good experience:The food is noticably worse than before and the menu does not offer as much as it used to. The food is also very over priced for what is essentially be cheap Asian food. Service was like fast food place. I and my date ordered food, but my plate came 30 minutes before hers. That should never happenNoisy, chaotic fast food vibe with lots of kids. You quickly notice that there are only a few 'good' seats with good view (despite what you see of the archticture from outside) Despite having a reservation, I was seated next to the door. There was lots of foot traffic and being winter, it was a b
- Great for a dateOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/24/2012We've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I'm glad we did. We started with Vietnamese spring rolls, which were very good. Then we shared a pad thai shrimp and the tangerine chicken with white rice. We were very pleased with the entire meal, although the pad thai's flavor was a bit bland. I would definitely go back and try some new items. I also really like that seating. There are large windows with nice private tables so you can enjoy your meal and people watch.Special Features:
- Until my last visit, I wasChoppedVIPDined on 1/12/2012Until my last visit, I was always been a fan of Amber. They recently halved their menu so they are now offering fewer options for diners. The waiter responded with attitude when I asked him about changes made to the menu. I am unsure if I will return to Amber, especially given the huge selection available at other nearby restuarants.
- My only complaint is thatBillDined on 1/10/2012My only complaint is that they don't serve ginger ice cream. In fact, the waiter had never heard of it. But the boiler-plate-for-a-Japanese-restaurant green tea ice cream was very good. I need something sweet and sharp after sushi and sashimi, and ginger is the perfect thing. We ordered the Sushi and Sashimi for two, and it was beyond delicious as well as very beautiful. I love this place.

- This was a very busy night;happyVIPDined on 11/25/2011This was a very busy night; so, we were requested to wait in the bar area for our reserved seat until our entire party arrived (an inconsistent policy -while we waited at a table in the bar area, we were asked to move so a woman could sit at her reserved table AND WAIT FOR HER PARTY TO ARRIVE-which we saw as we waited in the narrow entry way). After being seated, our stressed waiter hurried to take our drink and food order and then DISAPPEARED. Our meals were delivered and soon after, the busboy cleared the dishes from the table, but we had to wait over 30 minutes for a waiter of any kind to look our way for the check, not to mention another glass of water. The food is good, but on a busy night, don't expect attentive service.Special Features:

It's hot and humid today here in Virginia and I haven't been outside today at all. Hoping the care dealership will soon call to inform me about my car being ready. Had some mechanical work done to it. I haven't been exercising as much as I'd like. And I can tell a difference in how I feel. I can't use the heat as an excuse, because there are things I can do to get myself moving. But for today, I'm safe, relatively cool and have much to be grateful for.
Earlier this afternoon I ate out of frustration. Am now feeling guilty for not only eating out of frustration, but also about what I ate. It's a double whammy. I really hate doing that, but the old coping skills just kicked in. Or I should say my lack of coping skills kicked in. So for this moment, I'm making this post to get it off my chest. I know I'm not the only one who does it, but I want to take better care of myself.
For the past two days I've been feeling lightheaded and tipsy. It's almost like being drunk without drinking being involved. I had my blood pressure taken and it's up. Am planning to see my doctor Monday to make possible change in blood pressure medicine. In thinking about my diet, I have room for improvement. Especially getting rid of sodium.
Many times I ask myself why I wait it I feel bad until I take action in taking care of myself. I'd like to take good care of myself before I feel bad. I hope I'm not the only one who waits till long to take action.
So here I am on SparkPeople, looking for good ways of taking care of myself. Am also saying prayers that I actually follow through and be consistent in taking good care of myself.
I enjoyed my day off from work. I wish I could say I exercised well today. The best I did was a short walk. I keep telling myself I want to take better care of myself, but it never gets past lip service. And then I tell myself I don't need to beat myself up about what I didn't do. That negative reaction is never helpful. So for today, I had a nice day off. Went to an Al Anon meeting and called my sponsor. I bought a few pieces of fruit at the grocery store. Am thankful for my warm house on this chilly Monday evening.
I've been nursing a sore left knee for several days. But this afternoon it felt a little better, thanks to pain meds. The weather here in my little town in VA was just ideal for a February afternoon. I got outside and took a slow 20 minute. Now that it's a couple hours later, it's not feeling any worse. Sometimes it's hard to know when to take it easy and when a little exercise might be helpful. Well, here's prayers that my knee won't feel any worse tomorrow.

New York Yankees: Randy Levine
Yanks prez: Sale story 'totally fabricated'
May, 24, 2012
By Andrew Marchand | ESPNNewYork.com
25Q/25D: Have the Yanks lowered the bar?
January, 25, 2012
By Wallace Matthews | ESPNNewYork.com
Debby Wong/US PresswireIs simply getting to the playoffs good enough for Hal Steinbrenner's Yankees?
Pitchers and catchers report to the Yankees' Tampa complex on Feb. 19, which means there are now 25 days to the start of spring training.
That also means there is just enough time for ESPNNewYork.com to explore 25 key questions about the 2012 Yankees before we get this thing rolling. Each day between now and the 19th, either Andrew Marchand or myself will tackle an issue lingering over the team from the disappointing end of its 2011 season.
And we'll begin with one that has been bugging me since the curious reaction to the Yankees' five-game loss to the Detroit Tigers in the ALDS, namely:
Has the bar been lowered on Yankee expectations?
Truthfully, if the Yankees hadn't had their Friday the 13th rampage, when they rose from the dead of winter to acquire starting pitchers Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda, I would have said definitely.
Now, I'm saying definitely maybe.
Because even if there is no formally written Mission Statement -- and for all we know, there very well might be -- there can be no argument that when George Steinbrenner was running the team, there were only two kinds of Yankee seasons.
The ones that end with a parade in the Canyon of Heroes, and the ones that end with players, manager and front office executives paraded into the Valley of Career Death.
This one certainly looked like an example of the latter, especially when the high-priced Yankee offense came up empty in a 3-2 defeat in Game 5, at home, no less, with the highest paid, highest profile and most highly touted Yankee, Alex Rodriguez, striking out in two key situations, including to end the game.
The Yankees, and specifically, The Boss, used to have a word for a season that ended like that. The F-word. "Failure.''
But this year, no one in the Yankees hierarchy -- not manager Joe Girardi, nor GM Brian Cashman, nor team president Randy Levine, nor even The Boss' kid, Prince Hal Steinbrenner -- got past the letter "D.'' For "disappointment.''
"You can run that series again, and maybe it comes out different," Girardi said. "We're a hit away from moving on. That's baseball.''
"Tonight, if we were one at-bat better, we might win the game," Mark Teixeira said.
"I think this team got stronger and mentally tougher along the way,'' Cashman said, "And showed themselves as a formidable opponent for a world championship."
Hal Steinbrenner issued a statement expressing his "disappointment,'' but made no threats and handed out no pink slips.
Even Levine, the organization's pit-bull-in-residence in the post-Boss era, took a softened approach. "We are the Yankees," he said. "That is the way The Boss set it up. When you don't win the World Series, it is a bitter disappointment and not a successful year.''
Now, is this a more rational way to approach defeat? Of course it is.
But is it The Yankee Way?
It never has been, at least not for the 38 seasons of Steinbrenner's reign.
That is why the Yankees' offseason only contributed to the feeling that suddenly, just getting the playoffs may be good enough for the new regime.
Teixeira (.167, 0 HRs, 1 RBI in the playoffs), Rodriguez (.11, 0 HRs, 3 RBIs) and Nick Swisher (.211, 1 HR, 1 RBI) all escaped the Boss-like fury that would have come down on them in years past. In fact, the Yankees picked up Swisher's $10.25 million option for 2012, despite his career futility (.169. 4 HRs, 6 RBIs in 38 postseason games) in October.
Just as telling, the Yankees didn't even glance in the direction of Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder or C.J. Wilson, the cream of the free-agent crop. They showed no interest in foreign phenoms Yu Darvish or Yoenis Cespedes. They waited until just about the last second before pulling the trigger on the Pineda deal, and refused to budge on Kuroda, a pitcher Cashman has coveted for years, until his price came down to a comparatively reasonable $10 million.
And repeatedly, we were told that the Yankees payroll, which has hovered around the $210 million mark for the past four seasons, wold be coming down, not going up, with the goal of getting under the $189 million threshold by 2014 to avoid having to pay the despised luxury tax.
On the same day he issued his "bitter disappointment'' speech, Levine may have offered a clue as to the team's real expectation level when he said this: "We had the best record in the American League. We had a lot of great moments between Jeter and Mariano. We had a very strong regular season."
It sounded eerily similar to Omar Minaya's defense of his Mets after their epic 2007 collapse: "We spent more days in first place than any other team in the league.''
It used to be that the only day being in first place mattered was the last day of the season. The real season, the one that ends with the final game of the World Series. To The Boss, the Yankees were either the greatest, or they were garbage.
Do you get the feeling, as I do, that for the Yankees nowadays, being merely very good is considered good enough?
Your turn: Weigh in below in the comments section.
Boras meeting "just a courtesy''
January, 12, 2012
By Wallace Matthews | ESPNNewYork.com
So says a source with knowledge of the meeting between Scott Boras, Hal Steinbrenner and Randy Levine on the subject of Edwin Jackson, the free-agent righthander who is said to be seeking a five-year deal in the neighborhood of $75 million. According to the source, the meeting lasted 25 minutes in between sessions of the owner's meetings in Paradise Valley, Arizona, and had the blessing of GM Brian Cashman, who remained on the job in New York. According to the source, the Yankees still consider Jackson's asking price too high.
"Boras asked for a courtesy meeting and he got it,'' the source said, adding that the Yankees "are no closer to signing Jackson today than before.''

Commish tells Hal: Tell your brother to put a lid on it
February, 22, 2011
By Andrew Marchand | ESPNNewYork.com
Commissioner Bud Selig has reached out to Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner and team president Randy Levine to tell them to pass the word down to Hank Steinbrenner not to talk about revenue sharing, a baseball official confirmed.
The Commissioner doesn't want owners talking about the state of the game's economics. So Hank was told to put a lid on it.
No word if Hank is allowed to talk about players' "mansions" or the appropriate use of euphemisms in the future, but no labor topics.
Newsday first mentioned the commissioner's call.

Tin Can Tourists will turn out in droves at Sunset Isle RV Park and Motel at the beginning of December.
In years past, "tin canners," as they call themselves, have come from as far away as New York, Michigan and Wisconsin to camp and show off their vintage RVs that span several decades.
Most have been restored or are in the process of being restored, said Bruce Wilson, co-owner of Ada Blue Cafe, located near the RV park.
A special exception permit to allow the expansion of sand pit mining on 295 acres of land that touches on State Road 121 south of Williston was approved unanimously by the Levy County Commission on Tuesday.
That was despite one complaint from a resident that trucks in the current operation do not stop before entering SR 121 and letters from some residents to the county Planning Commission opposing the project. One opponent said he wants to sell his property.
Spend a day in some of the wilder parts of Florida and it's not hard to get a sense of what life must have been like before the Sunshine State became one of the more densely populated regions of the U.S.
In the 1800s, the state was mostly inhabited by droves of white settlers who pushed down from northern territories — hacking a living from the dense landscape —bands of displaced natives who became known as Seminoles and the soldiers who, in two separate wars, fought to displace those natives once again.

What do Thanksgiving turkeys and Florida Highway Patrol cars have in common?
They are both "stuffed" to feed Florida families for the holidays.
In the case of the cars (known as Chargers), they were stuffed last week as part of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' (DHSMV) inaugural "Stuff the Charger" food drive.
Each DHSMV location across the state spent the past few weeks collecting non-perishable food items to help feed Florida families during the upcoming holiday season.

An Archer woman was seriously injured and taken to the hospital when she crashed her golf cart at about 4 p.m., Saturday, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Debra Ann Hill, 51, of Archer, who has an invalid driver's license and was ticketed for her driving, was attempting to turn the golf cart onto Northeast 120th Street from Northeast 105th Ave. when she hit the dirt embankment on the north shoulder. The cart overturned and came to a rest on its side.
Hill had a 3-year-old passenger with her, Braden Duthill, though the boy was not injured.

The goalkeeper has been linked with Celtic after Artur Boruc's move to Fiorentina, with boss Neil Lennon thought to be hunting a replacement.
But Harper, who was forced to play understudy to Shay Given for several years at Newcastle, is adamant that he will not be ignoring the chance to play regularly in the Premier League.
"I have waited years for the opportunity of first-team football with Newcastle United in the Premier League so I'm not going to turn my back on it now," said the 35-year-old.
"I still have a couple of years left on my contract and I am looking to play on for as long as possible.
"I've only played around 200 first-team games and, if I can get that up to 400 that would be fantastic."

- Love Our Boas Review by Pat the bargain
10 Friends host a ladies only Mardi Gras annually. This lighted boa is part of our hostess costume this year. It blinks with red lights and will be the hit of the party. Must open pkg and let some feathers shed and let the boa fluff up.
We had a problem with one boa and the supplier replaced it for us free of charge. Great service and we are so pleased with this unusual find. Only one I found

- Excellent Review by Fishtails444
We wore ours to a themed Gangster tour. It did shed a lot at first. Be sure to shake it out and fluff outside. It was a hit especially with the lights. That added something extra!!

Too Easy
Very Nice - I looked at a lot of other things before I saw the easy mate in 2.
I feel this one was aptly titled, because at first glance black seemed to have such an upper hand. I started looking for a back rank attack line with my rook aimed at the e5 pawn, but it was a complete dead end. Hmmm. I really must check black on my first move. I looked at my bishop at f6. He could move 1. g7+. Another dead end, BUT it shows that the g7 pawn is pinned, and there's a strong escape for my threatened Queen. And suddenly, the easy sequence opens up to me.
Black must indeed be shocked.
too easy :)
Elegant !

I need an example of creating error log file for stored procedure in oracle. please give me an example with table creation and stored procedure creation and error log creation.
Thanks in advance
EDIT (relevant info from other question)
Suppose there is a stored procedure. When I am executing that stored procedure, some expected error/exception may occur, so I need to create an error log table in which all the errors will automatically be store whenever I will execute the stored procedure.
For example, if there is some column which does not allow null values, but the user is entering null values, then that error should be generated and it should stored in the error log table.
