Favorite Ice Cream 2013
- Melanie Wong Jul 14, 2013 12:32 PM
Warm weather has arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area and July is National Ice Cream Month. This is a new discussion to pick up where the Best ice cream 2011 thread left off.
Let's hear about the new spots that have cropped up as well as tried and true favorites. And throw a broader net to talk about places to stop when you're in the neighborhood and not only destination worthy places.
My vote for best ice cream in SF remains Mr & Mrs Misc. I find both the textures and flavor superior.
Note: we have become frequent enough customers that they have made Candied Violet ice cream cakes for my daughter's birthday for two years running. Last year, they did a bourbon & caramel ice cream cake for my birthday. Highly recommended!
re: absc
I would tend to agree, for the reasons you stated. Last year a friend and I did an ice cream crawl and hit Mr. and Mrs., DeLise, Joe's, Marco Polo and Bi-Rite. The only one I would make a special trip for again was Mr. and Mrs. In addition, I've been to Humphrey Slocumbe a couple of times and I've sampled Smitten Kitten, and I don't like the texture of either of them (the former too icy, the latter too ephemeral). I guess I like my ice cream fairly traditional with some twists, rather than novelty and gimmicks.
re: Ruth Lafler
Smitten Ice Cream (Smitten Kitten is the name of a blog) has pretty straight forward flavors.
Yesterday's menu was Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint Chip, and the seasonal option, Honey Nectarine.
Sometimes they have a Salted Caramel. There's usually only one "novelty" flavor out of the 4, and the mix in twists are optional. If you ignore the process it's a very traditional ice cream, especially compared to Mr. and Mrs.
re: sugartoof
I wasn't talking about the flavors, as I said, I'm not crazy about the texture. Because of the way it's made, it doesn't have a lot of underlying structure and collapses very quickly.
re: Ruth Lafler
I think the main difference there is a truly homemade ice cream versus using a Strauss (or other) manufacture base.
re: sugartoof
We've tried Smitten a few times and it is VERY different than any other ice cream I've sampled. I'm not sure how I define traditional (maybe standard is a better word??) but it's pretty far from my usual expectations in terms of texture.
The mint chip tasted more like real mint than any other mint ice cream I've experienced, which was cool. The chocolate and the vanilla seemed kinda bland.
On the whole, I prefer a firmer, creamier, more substantial product, which is why Mr and Mrs wins for me among the SF Bay Area ice creams I've had the privilege to taste.
re: grayelf
It's less of a custard than some others, otherwise I haven't found it to be looser or lacking substance. It's essentially a flash freeze, so the melt is quicker, and more natural, like you would get with a hand churn, before additional freezing.
re: sugartoof
No, that's not the difference in the texture. The difference in the texture comes from the fact that they're using a different *style* of base and a different freezing process. How you freeze something makes a big difference in the texture in terms of how big the crystals are, how much air is mixed in, etc.
re: Ruth Lafler
Agree the melt is quicker but it doesn't resemble any hand-churned ice cream I've had elsewhere ie. not in SF. It's almost more like soft serve but again not quite as it's not really creamy. Didn't hate it at all but as I said, I prefer the firmer, creamier, more substantial type, even if it's not a "natural" melt.
re: grayelf
I don't know why one is more "natural" than another. Some ice cream is made with a custard base, some is made with only milk. It's a different style, and which one is better is a matter of personal preference.
re: Ruth Lafler
"I think the main difference there is a truly homemade ice cream versus using a Strauss (or other) manufacture base."
"The difference in the texture comes from the fact that they're using a different *style* of base and a different freezing process"
We're saying the same thing.
I find Bi-Rite to be the most consistently textured, followed by Smitten. At Mr. and Mrs. or Humphrey (Both of which I love), I never know what I'm going to get, and it can very batch to batch, or flavor to flavor. Techniques aside, Smitten is the closest thing to a product you would produce in small batch at home.
re: sugartoof
No, we're not saying the same thing. You're making a distinction between "truly homemade" and "manufactured" but in fact, many homemade ice cream recipes call a custard base. And yes, if you use a small homemade ice cream freezer and serve it the moment it's frozen you'll get something that melts very quickly, but that's not true if the ice cream is "cured" by putting it in the freezer. Obviously, if something is being stirred right until the moment it's served, it cannot be as firm as ice cream that has been churned then hardened in the freezer.
I'm not saying that one is better or worse, only that the difference has nothing to do with "homemade" or "manufactured" and that preference in texture is just that -- a matter of personal preference -- and not a some kind of moral virtue.
re: Ruth Lafler
Moral virtue?
The texture is a result of a HOMEMADE small batch process, and immediate serving versus using a pre-MANUFACTURED, PACKAGED pasteurized egg base by a dairy company, then adding a step in freezing it. Science dictates that the faster you freeze, the creamier the end product. Only Smitten makes their product entirely in house - while you watch. It's a fact. It's as homemade as you can get in a commercial retail setting no matter what you personally think of the final product, which may be underfreezed for your tastes due to the nitrogen process.
If you're insistent we disagree on that, then we can agree to disagree. No moral virtue....I'm not bad mouthing either establishment. Are you?
re: sugartoof
Smitten's marketing materials say they make ice cream from scratch in 60 seconds. Not really true. While you're correct that Smitten does not buy ice cream base from Straus, apparently Smitten uses ice cream base manufactured by Three Twins.
I stopped by Smitten yesterday. The three flavors available were vanilla, salted caramel, and TCHO chocolate. I noticed that the vanilla and chocolate flavors both contain eggs and wondered where the pasteurization step for such a small operation was taking place if they're not using base. A poster at the stand says the milk/cream comes from Beretta Family dairy in Sonoma County. I knew that Beretta sells milk to Wallaby yogurt and Three Twins, and googling soon connected the dots.
re: Melanie Wong
So that suggests Smitten custom orders a low egg base from Three Twins, but they only use it on some flavors.
It verifies that some of there ice cream is without a pasteurized egg base, which would imply it's entirely made from scratch, and also verifies that they're not relying on the same base as most every other ice cream store.
It's also worth noting that Three Twins has their own facilities dedicated towards producing organic ice cream.
re: sugartoof
I wouldn't infer that the non-egg bases are made entirely from scratch. The salted caramel is not as you say, made while you watch, to be able to tell. The liquid material of ingredients is poured from a carafe that is filled behind the scenes. The carafe of mix that went into my serving yesterday had a handwritten label on it to discard by 8/15. The carafes for the other flavors also had discard dates.
Straus also produces organic ice cream under its own label. Three Twins is newer in the base biz, so it's understandable that it has lower market share.
re: Melanie Wong
"I wouldn't infer that the non-egg bases are made entirely from scratch."
What's the theory then? Do you think Three Twins also makes a non-egg base for them too? They claim they're making their ice cream from scratch, and they do more in front of the eye, including pouring the mixture from cream, into ice cream, then any other shop in SF.
re: sugartoof
Since Smitten uses Three Twins base for vanilla, chocolate and likely some other flavors too, I don't put much faith in their claim of "scratch". The pre-made mixture that is poured in front of your eyes out of a carafe into the mixing bowl is not just cream. It is the sum total of the ice cream base, meaning that it has milk, sugar, flavorings, etc. in it. All they're doing is freezing it with nitrogen in front of you.
I prefer not to speculate on the source when there's nothing to go on.
re: Melanie Wong
Does it really matter when Smitten is so mediocre, with its poor texture and dull flavors? Most handmade or homemade ice creams use commercial base, so it's not a big deal that Smitten does too. What counts are the results. I gave it three tries and concluded it was a poor use of calories.
I did finally made it to Tin Pot in Palo Alto, and that was very promising. Maybe not quite up to Penny Creamery in Santa Cruz, especially with the absence of fruit flavors, but that rich chocolate with Tcho shards was really nice.
re: mdg
"Most handmade or homemade ice creams use commercial base"
I've never seen the Straus base for sale retail. Where do you get it?
I've also never seen a recipe for ice cream that compensates for someone buying a premade base. It's easy to make your own. That essentially IS the process of making an ice cream. You make a base. You add sugar and if you want flavoring, add it. You churn it. The health requirements for setting up a shop where you can manufacture a base is prohibitive, otherwise it more shops would do it. Humphrey Slocombe planned to manufacture entirely in house, but couldn't.
I think Smitten is one of the best in SF. Great flavors, both classic and with a twist, and really creamy textures.
Glad you've found other options you like better since you disagree.
re: Melanie Wong
Aren't you already speculating?
I'm talking about what's done in house, combined with the process done in front of the customer. It also happens to create a superior product.
re: sugartoof
No, I'm quoting the ingredient list posted on the wall (see photo), and sharing what happens in front of the customer that I was able to see.
This is speculating >> "Only Smitten makes their product entirely in house - while you watch."
Ok, please feel free to have the last word now. I don't care about Smitten, just wanted to be sure that this thread was updated with information published elsewhere.
re: Melanie Wong
If you're challenging their claims, and making your own when saying "all they're doing is freezing it with nitrogen in front of you", suggesting they're not making the rest in house - then you're speculating...which is fine....but if your post is to introduce the idea that we know Smitten's source for their base, why say "I prefer not to speculate on the source when there's nothing to go on."?
And the end product tastes like really good ice cream. Mr. and Mrs. and Slocombe also turn out great flavors. SF has great destination ice creams, worthy of the lines and excitement.
re: sugartoof
Since this thread has been bumped, I thought I'd add that Smitten uses a different flavored base for each ice cream before adding nitrogen. They're in slightly oversized milk jars, without markings. The chocolate one for example is already chocolate, and looks like a chocolate milk.
Some of my favorites
Smitten - the seasonal flavors so far...in June it was olive oil with lavender shortbread, and July current seasonal flavor is honey tangerine. Really enjoyed both.
Bi Rite - While the salted caramel is the standard signature and by far the best version I've had (surpassing the one by Three Twins), the honey lavender turned out to be a lot tastier when I paired it with the salted caramel. There's definitely more on the menu worth trying for me next time (especially the ginger and banana flavors).
Polly Ann - for some strange reason I never made it out to here...basically the ice cream version of Marco Polo but way more interesting flavors. Black sesame ice cream is extremely good. Was told Jasmine tea is a good one too.
Marco Polo - Not a fan of durian, but their Chinese Dragonwell green tea, and black sesame gelati are great. Not ice cream technically but I'll mention this.
Frozen Kuhsterd truck - Also not ice cream, but very very enjoyable. They're doing some great things. Ube, Thai ice tea with milk, Four Barrel Coffee (add condensed milk topping for that pseudo Café Sua Da feeling), and the ever so rare Black Sesame flavor, are all very very good. Sometimes they go crazy with stuff like soju soaked boba (from Boba Guys) that elevates the kuhsterd in evil ways, or there's a flavor made with Jameson and cereal topping (which I haven't tried but friends swear by it).
Hope to try Mitchell's, Mr Ms Miscellaneous, and perhaps a few others in SF soon...
Still need to try that newish place in Santa Clara, Tinpot Creamery in Palo Alto. And speaking of Palo Alto, Palo Alto Creamery (not the Stanford location), the coffee milkshake makes for an evil breakfast drink.
re: K K
I like the guava gelato at Marco Polo more than I like any other flavor. The texture is the perfect smoothness for me.
re: Dave MP
Lychee and the black sesame are my go-to flavors at Marco Polo.
re: ipsedixit
Three Twins Cardamom is subtle but excellent. I prefer that to the sea salt caramel.
re: ipsedixit
I don't like chocolate ice cream either - if you are ever at Tin Pot in Palo Alto, you might try their TCHO flavor. It's the only chocolate ice cream I've liked.
re: mr_darcy
Good to know. I have a trip up to The Farm later in the year ...
Yesterday I got the jump on National Ice Cream Day (July 15) with a Straus chocolate soft serve. The milk chocolate is a shade richer than the taste of childhood softee cones, and of course, the base doesn't have the chemical emulsifier off-notes either. This one was from the Ukiah Natural Foods Co-op, but Straus is served at several Bay Area outlets as well.
re: Melanie Wong
Are there places in SF proper to get chocolate soft-serve like this?
re: Dave MP
The soft serve window at the original BiRite? But they might flavor the Straus base themselves.
re: Dave MP
Super Duper has Straus chocolate soft serve on offer. I've only tried the vanilla and didn't find it rich and creamy enough, tasting more like ice milk to me than ice cream, so it may not qualify.
re: Dave MP
I got a soft serve vanilla cone at a cart at the Exploratorium over the weekend (strauss). Otherwise I only have East Bay recommendations (Oakland).
re: Melanie Wong
re: elainew
I somehow completely missed that Sketch had reopened in 2012 so thanks for posting and making me google! Will have to fit that in on our next trip...
re: elainew
YES -- Sketch (Berkeley) is the best!!
Hawker Fare (Oakland) also has yummy soft serve too.
re: emraguso
Hawker Fare is closed indefinitely: a trash-can fire set by vandals has nearly melted the restaurant's electrical meters.
I would have to pick Ici, which I used to get in San Mateo at Clear Optometry (yes indeed) but honestly I'm not sure if they still offer it. May have switched to some sort of fro-yo.
re: shark37
As of a month or two ago they still had it (and also had froyo). I hope they don't stop!
re: mr_darcy
Completely in awe that there is a glasses store where you can get top notch ice cream -- only in the Bay Area!
re: grayelf
The other remarkable thing about Clear Optometry is that the froyo is the same commercial product as sold in many other outlets, yet it tastes better there. I'm not the only one who has commented on this. Here's my old post with some photo links so you can see what it looks like.
re: Melanie Wong
Next to TPumps in downtown San Mateo is a branch of San Francisco's Creation Desserts (Creations Dessert Express). It has a subset of the Hong Kong style desserts menu, but for this branch they add dessert crepes, cater it towards a broader/mixed audience, and they have about 12 to 14 flavors of Three Twins ice cream which can be purchased as scoops and/or added to fruit crepes. Last I checked, the ice cream flavors were more of variations on chocolate, one or two fruit flavors, salted caramel.
Bitter & Sweet (a coffee shop in Cupertino) offers maybe 3 flavors of Humphrey Slocombe ice cream. Likely will have vanilla and Vietnamese iced coffee flavor.
re: stravaigint
Here's a pic of the Humphrey Slocombe selection at Bitter+Sweet from last night. White miso peach was very, very subtle but creamy. Viet coffee has been good on previous visits.
re: stravaigint
They have dulce de leche and maple walnut on the menu right now. Of the two, I liked the former very much. Also, I'm convinced their portion size has increased, they seem to be serving much bigger scoops these days compared to when they opened a few years ago, but then maybe I also missed a price increase...
re: mr_darcy
That is likely due to the significantly younger target market that frequents Tpumps and Old Town Sushi next door, thus the decision to offer a more generic lineup. The exotic flavors us adults enjoy might not pair well with their crepes or fruit sago desserts.
Nimble & Finn's Ice Cream, a new artisan producer discovered a couple Sundays ago at the newly opened West End farmers market in Santa Rosa. According to the website, the local seasonal ice cream is also scooped at the Friday evening Occidental market and Saturday afternoon Petaluma market.
Right now the base is Straus organic. The proprietress is saving her money to buy her own pasteurizer. She's currently renting production space at a dairy in Bodega.
Here's a clearer photo of the flavor list,
Before deciding I had a taste of the Strawberry & creme fraiche flavor. The strawberries are from Lao's stand on Hwy 12. Loved the tangy to sweet balance and extra creamy mouthfeel of this one. But this time, the Chocolate raspberry spoke to me more. Deep and concentrated with Valrhona cocoa powder and an almost smoky backnote, the scoop was studded with tart-sweet whole raspberries from a local berry patch. On a 100+ degree day, this softened as soon as scooped.
Worth keeping an eye out for the next appearance.
20th Century Cafe in San Francisco opened two weeks ago. My first visit there on Wednesday finished with a scoop of housemade peach leaf ice cream, $3, served in a vintage coupe. Yes, you read that right, peach LEAF. And it's green. The flavor is almond-like but even more subtle and slightly astringent with a refined aroma. I asked if the peach pits were included --- no. My next question, does this have almond extract in it --- no. The staffer then said that she could not share any more details about its production.
The ice cream is so dense and solid, it's almost chewy. Not as sweet as candy, more like a natural fruit. As I got up to leave, proprietress Michelle Polzine asked me what I thought. When I commented on the heavy texture, she was amused and said she's a dense ice cream gal and aims for zero overrun. She makes her own ice cream base using eggs and Clover organic milk and cream.
The other flavors available then were Vanilla, Chicory, and Strawberry. I was able to sample before buying.
re: Melanie Wong
Looks like you found the one item priced fairly at 20th Century Cafe. Cute shop, but selling mini quiche sized knishes for the price of what should be a full sized knish is offensive. Even the coffee menu was higher than average. The ice cream might draw me back in though.
re: sugartoof
Yep. I have more to say abt the cafe when I have a chance to sit down.
re: sugartoof
Here's the thread for 20th Century Cafe,
Walnut Creek has a great trio of ice cream stores, including the newest, Lottie's:
But I wouldn't neglect Guanato's (my current favorite is peanut with chocolate sauce or chongos zamoranos
or Gelateria Naia, which has great fresh summer fruit flavors, and a terrific whiskey ice cream with St. George single malt.
The problem is choosing which store to visit.
I frequent Iscream on Solano in Berkeley about once a week now. It is my go to for location, quality, and friendly people. Blueberry and Burnt Caramel (which I usually hate elsewhere) are a delight.
Chocolatier Blue on Fourth St in Berkeley has ice cream made with Strauss and what I consider a bargain with large sundaes at 5$. In fact, all the toppings are free. Lots of patio seating to people watch.
I can not get excited about Bi-Rite or Ici. By the time you get through the line you could find a cow, milk it, and set about learning to make ice cream yourself. Nothing would be worth that wait. If I happen to be at Bi Rite when they open, the ice cream line resentment has not built up in me and I find it to be a good enough ice cream for the price. If I have to wait, I find the ice cream has a greasy mouthfeel and it melts into a puddle in short order. Ici has lovely crisp cones but again only worth it if you don't have to wait for it and you have just gotten your IRS refund so don't feel bad about paying a lot for a golf ball sized scoop with flavors that are faint and almost overly natural. It feels very restrained.
The one time we went to Tin Pot Creamery in Palo Alto, it was really very good. Our attention was divided however, by the cupcake store and the bakery in the same complex.
I need to try Sketch today! Are there any good yogurt places in the East Bay? (like Fraiche in Palo Alto?)
Ici, Ici, Ici. My favorite flavors are the holiday ones: Pannetone, Spumoni, etc. The alcoholic infused ones are great too, like the Bourbon Pecan they had last week and the Guinness Stout.
Just returned to Sketch for the first time in 3+ years. Still the best, by far, if you like your ice cream less sweet and more focused on highlighting the flavor. Love it.
Clover-Stornetta soft-serve swirly cone at Pick's Drive In, Cloverdale, hit the spot today. Clover milk comes from family farms in Marin and Sonoma counties. Pick's holds the line on price --- with sales tax, a small cone is $1.50 --- keeping it an affordable summer treat for kids (and grown-ups). Not as full flavored as Straus, that is, the vanilla and chocolate don't taste that different from each other in this combo. Still, it's not oversweetened and has a clean finish. The value leader.
More about Pick's Drive In
Recent duos I enjoyed: darjeeling sour cherry & basil at Ici, semi-dark Mexican chocolate & mascarpone balsamic w/ graham crackers at Lush.
This thread is nudging me to get to Sketch -- still haven't made it back since they re-opened!
Last week I tried Tin Pot in the Town and Country Shopping Center in Palo Alto. Since it was last week, I think the flavor I had was salted butterscotch. The ice cream as I remember was very thick and creamy, my guess is a very rich custard base. Would be worth hearing what other people think.
re: peppatty
Hi peppatty, I'm looking forward to trying it. Some more opinions here,
Downtown Bakery & Creamery, Healdsburg http://downtownbakery.net/
A long time favorite, especially for the seasonal fruit flavors in summertime. Last week was a double-header with wild blackberry ice cream and peach-rum sherbet.
On this subject, I'm in the process of whipping up David Leibowitz' Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. I followed it to the t, except I add 3 drops of green coloring for hahas and a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract (not sure why, but I thought it'd be good and subtle).
Let you know how it turned out after I chill it and put it in the machine.
Ice Cream Bar in Cole Valley's milk chocolate ice cream has been growing on me. With none of the bitterness you typically get in chocolate ice cream, it tastes just like a high quality milk chocolate bar. It's different and not as silky as the chocolate ice cream at Smitten, but both these ice creams made me rethink my general dislike of chocolate ice cream.
ICB's butterscotch ice cream is also great, though on the salty side.
Andy's Orchard, Morgan Hill --- When I stopped by yesterday to buy fresh fruit, I noticed some signs up for
• Black Tartarian Cherry bar by Massimo, $1.50
• Baby Crawford Peach gelato by Massimo, $6 per pint
I sprang for both and the cashier suggested that I eat the cherry bar on the spot and offered to use her scissors to cut open the plastic wrapping. So, in 83 degree weather, I stood outside on the gravel parking lot and tried not to drip on myself. While I enjoy the jammy flavor of fresh Black Tartarian cherries, the soft texture has not appealed to me. Turning these into ice cream bars is the perfect way to enjoy their taste. Very round, ripe and rich black cherry/berry flavor. The bar has some milk in it, but not much dairy comes through flavorwise. Texture's icy with flaky, brittle texture, not smooth, but this made it feel more refreshing and granita-like to me.
The peach gelato made with Andy's signature variety, Baby Crawford, is dense with bits of peach. This does indeed taste like those pretty babies served up with cream. The gelato's fluffy in texture from so much peach pulp, more akin to a lower butterfat ice cream/milk than the density of gelato. I liked this very much as well.
re: Melanie Wong
This reminds me: the Walgreens at First and Mission has a freezer case up front with Naia gelato bars. Has anyone tried them?
re: Ruth Lafler
I found the flavor of the one Naia bar I tried too faint. But I haven't tried another one yet to let it warm up more. More in this thread,
re: Ruth Lafler
The Naia pops are all over (Whole Foods, etc.) now.
They're very good adult flavors, with some creamy consistency but they don't taste like gelato bars to me.
Agree they're a little too faint. They also get watery and drip pretty quick.

Hague: Web risks turning into city of ghettos
The UK seems to be hoping for some sort of lasting agreement from its gathering of governments and businesses at the London Conference on Cyberspace (LCC). Speaking at the conference, Foreign Secretary William Hague said it was time to "build on our common interests, developing firm ideas and proposals with real political and …
"We reject the view that government suppression of the internet, phone networks and social media at times of unrest is acceptable."
Except when there are riots in London and whatnot.
The best thing (any) government can do for the internet
> getting governments and businesses to agree on how to promote and protect the internet
is to stop interfering with it. The one thing it will never need is their "protection".
He goes on to say "Nothing would be more fatal or self-defeating than the heavy hand of state control ..." which sounds to me like the same tone used to say "My esteemed colleague has my full support and backing" ... just before the knives go in. Presumably "fatal" and "self-defeating" are government newspeak for "desirable" and "best for us".
You just know that the more these lying 'stards say to promote internet (or any other) freedoms, the less they mean it and that it's merely mendacious claptrap while they work out how to control, restrict and tax it.
Human Rights and Censorship
Unless you're talking about BT's use of Phorm supplied covert communications surveillance for advertising.

Getting "pumped up" for osteoporosis
While we may not hear much about osteoporosis, it's a bigger problem than most of us realize.
Did you know?
• Twenty percent of those affected are men.
• That 85 percent of your bone mass is already acquired in your body by age 18 (girls) and age 20 (boys).
• Osteoporosis causes 1.5 million fractures, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
While many bones can be affected by osteoporotic changes, one area of the body that these changes and the resultant fractures that occur can cause significant pain and loss of function is the spine.
The most common bone(s) affected are the vertebrae – those marshmallow-shaped bones that are separated by the "vertebral discs." As these bones lose their strength from a lack of density and calcium, they become weaker and weaker, becoming increasingly susceptible to a condition known as "compression fractures." Simply put, the vertebral bones literally collapse, much the same way as a marshmallow does when you squeeze it, only the bones don't "bounce back."
The symptoms a person can exhibit can be proportionate to the severity of the collapse. Keep in mind that even the milder forms of collapse are still quite painful – after all, it is still a fracture. Severe compression injuries can ultimately be deforming to a person's posture (known as "gibbous") or can actually cause pressure on the spinal sac and/or spinal nerves if the fracture fragments for any reason.
For decades, the main treatment options consisted of bed rest, pain medications, and wearing an external brace, intended to reduce the chance of further collapse while healing.
Two somewhat little-known procedures now exist that have substantially improved patients' lives and restored significant function and activity – the Vertebroplasty and the Kyphoplasty.
Because of the very minimally invasive nature of the procedure, most patients experience pain reduction within hours. Best of all, patients are usually able to resume their daily activities within 48 hours.
During kyphoplasty procedures, a small incision is made in the patient's back through which the doctor places a narrow tube. Using fluoroscopy (live x-ray) to guide it to the correct position, the tube creates a path through the back into the fractured area of the involved vertebrae.
Continuing the use of live fluoroscopy, the doctor inserts a special balloon through the tube and into the vertebrae (the cardiology version of this procedure would be the "balloon angioplasty") then gently and carefully inflates it. As the balloon inflates, it literally elevates the fracture, returning the pieces to a more normal position. It also compacts the soft inner bone to create a cavity (hollow area) inside the vertebral bone itself.
Once the collapsed vertebra is restored to an acceptable height, the balloon is removed and the doctor uses specially designed instruments under low pressure to fill the cavity with a cement-like material called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), in much the same fashion as with a Vertebroplasty. After being injected, the pasty material hardens quickly, stabilizing the bone.
Recovery from either procedure is relatively easy and quick. Pain relief, for the most part, can be immediate for some patients. In others, elimination or reduction of pain is reported within a couple days.
At home, most individuals can return to their normal daily activities, typically with restrictions from strenuous exertion, such as heavy lifting, for at least six weeks.

Inventive with spices and seasonings, DaVita dietitian Ann from Maryland modified two recipes, Beef Chipotle Burritos and Slow Slow Chicken to make them friendly for a kidney diet but tasty enough for the whole family.
Ann is originally from North Carolina, but has lived in Maryland for the past 25 years. She hopes to retire one day to the coast of North Carolina where the pace is a little slower. She attended the University of North Carolina and earned an undergraduate degree in nutrition and institution management. She completed a Dietetic internship and Masters Degree in Nutrition at Emory University.
After working in the hospital setting for a number of years, Ann was looking for a change of pace and the renal field met that need. Knowing Ann was looking for a change, a friend told her about an opening for a renal dietitian with DaVita. Her friend has since retired, but Ann is grateful that she alerted her to the opening.
Ann admits that "patience is a virtue" in her work. "Being patient with people and being a good listener are the biggest challenges of my job. Sometimes you want to make a patient change a habit, but you really have to wait until they are ready to make the change. You can be persistent and provide the educational information, but the patient has to take ownership of the problem" she says. "Another challenge is tactfully correcting misinformation that patients and staff sometimes have about diet and nutrition.
The most rewarding aspect of the job, in Ann's opinion, is being able to see patients on a regular basis, which gives her time to provide education, see the results and develop a relationship with them. Working with a wide variety of ages and personalities also keeps things interesting. She is continually amazed by the determination and resilience that many of her patients display in dealing with their medical condition and other issues.
Ann's main approach with patients and their diets involves focusing on the positive and the old cliché "if it's not broke, don't fix it." But when there are issues to work on, she enjoys helping patients see that with moderation and portion control, many foods can fit into their diets and nutrition-related outcomes will improve. The single most important thing patients can do to improve their health is, of course, coming to treatment. Additionally, she tries to encourage all patients who are able to find some type of exercise or movement that they can add to their usual routine.
Ann has been with DaVita for 6 years. "We have a stable group of nice people to work with," she says, "and the commute is doable. I enjoy the people I work with!"

About Nanci Lee
I grew up in California and attended University of California at Berkeley. I moved to Colorado and met my husband in the graduate program of Architecture. We have 3 children and moved to Jackson Hole where my husband worked as an architect. After three years of enjoying the beauty of Jackson, we decided to move back to Colorado. One daughter is currently at Carleton College, another is at Harvard, and our son is in high school. We love everything about Jackson Hole and the skiing is great. We want to be able to visit one of our favorite places in the world JH, and we would like to share our home with you! We are a very active family! We also have a place on Nantucket that we would rent out if you are interested in a beach vacation!
Nanci Lee purchased this house in 1998
Why Nanci Lee chose Jackson
Our home is right in town but nestled on Snowking Mountain. It is secluded but right out the front door you are minutes to restaurants, shopping and all of the amenities of town! Snowking ski resort is our neighbor, there is a recreation center with a great pool with slides and a hot tub just to mention a few things there. There is also platform paddle tennis at the Snowking resort where locals play who know about the courts! We are in the perfect location to Yellowstone National Park, Teton Village Ski resort, and all the great activities of the town of Jackson. It is the perfect location! You won't spend all your time driving everywhere but enjoying what Jackson has to offer. Our home is spacious and cozy. A family home.

We will be getting a dining room set and we are in the process of making it a vacation home. Please call if you have any questions, needs or concerns!
What makes this house unique
The unique benefits of our home is that it is our home. We want your experience to be a great one. There is only one home like ours and we hope you will come back year after year. I remember having a glass table in the master bedroom and would see the reflections on the table of all the paragliders flying off of Snowking Mountain. It looked like confetti. It looked like so much fun that I took up paragliding! Jackson Hole is really the fountain of youth! Our house has big windows to see all the mature trees and wilderness of living on a mountain side yet within moments we could be shopping in all the beautiful town shops or eating at a fabulous restaurant! In our house, it is peaceful and quiet. No streets sounds or concrete around, just beauty and solitude!

DIAMONDHEAD, Miss. (AP) - The arrest of Vikings quarterback Brett Favre's sister during a drug raid in southern Mississippi
isn't the first time she's been in trouble with the law.
Hancock County Sheriff's Maj. Matt Karl says officers are "very
familiar" with 34-year-old Brandi Favre.
Karl says Brandi Favre was among five people arrested Wednesday
in the bust and was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and
generating hazardous waste. She's in custody and has an initial
court appearance scheduled Thursday morning.
In 1999, Favre, her sister-in-law and another woman were booked
with felony shoplifting. In 1996, she was charged with unlawful use
of a weapon in connection with a drive-by shooting at a motel in
Slidell, La.

Garmin Got It Right with the 210
By Russ
from Indianapolis, IN
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Garmin Forerunner 210 GPS Monitors:
I consider myself somewhere between the casual/recreational and avid athlete categories, but not a "gym rat." I jog an average of 3.5 miles about every other day. I run a few 5Ks each year, but mainly jog by myself. I travel a fair amount, and have used Garmin Forerunners (205, 405, and now the 210) on six continents (all but Antarctica). I used a Forerunner 405 for over a year, but got fed up with the touch-sensitive bezel: almost every time I jogged with it, something unexpected (often bad) happened when the bezel was falsely activated. The 210 is smaller/lighter, finds satellites fast, and has all the features I need. And it's less expensive than the 405. I have a foot pod for indoor tracks, and use it for cadence data even when I'm using the GPS for location tracking, pace, and distance. The charging/download cable clip connection to the 210 is a little hard to get used to, and has to be reconnected once in a while, but I've used the 210 for over a month now and have gotten the hang of it. I use Garmin Training Center on my laptop to upload and store 210 data and Google Earth to produce location tracks.
I love my scale!

Banknote campaigner's Twitter rape threats ordeal: Bloke, 21, cuffed
Re: Well, if this is specifically about the rape threat....
Compare and contrast with the ridiculous case some time ago where a totally non-credible and clearly jokey 'threat' was made on Twitter about Robin Hood airport, where the prosecutors jumped in with both jack-boots, and cries of 'terrorist' without thinking.
Or the more recent case of Justin Carter. Now even making sarcastic jokes flagged as being jokes can land you in jail. Incredibly stupid.
At least this case does seem to be based on actual threats, not only stupid people jumping the gun...

REVEALED: Hungry termites nibbling at Oracle's foundation
Re: Postgres? No, thank you.
PostgreSQL is useful for the SME sector, and even some medium-to-large companies are well within the range of data where Postgres does work, while lacking the eye-gouging costs of Oracle. I wish there were better options, but on the commercial sector it's just DB2, Sybase, Oracle and um.... that Sybase-clone called SQL Server.
I despise most of the NoSQL stuff because it seems that most of those solutions stem from hatred of SQL instead of rational thinking. It's also the reason why I ran away from MySQL, ever since I found their "transactions are for idiots" musings on their documentation.
So basically if I don't want to do commercial DBs, I'm mostly left with Postgres. So that is what I use for those projects these days. If it is commercial, then I'll see my options between Oracle, DB2, and Sybase. And I pray they aren't a MS shop...
Bill Gates' nuclear firm plans hot, salty push into power
Re: No Radiation?
Fukushima isn't over yet. It remains to be seen what the consequences are.
Had the consequences been anything close to Chernobyl, we'd already know by now. By hell we knew what happened in Chernobyl mere months after it happened. This is the kind of fearmongering I'm referring to.
Chernobyl isn't over yet and reportedly won't be for another 10,000 years.
We all know that. The sarcophagus issue is an obvious one, given that it was hastily built to quickly contain the whole thing before it fucked up even more stuff than it already had. Had those RBMK reactors had a secondary containment shield, it probably wouldn't have been needed. Though the real lesson there was what gazthejourno said: just don't go around doing boneheaded tests during shift changes, if you cancel a previous test, return the reactors to their original settings, and please please don't build a reactor with a design that allows runaway reactions during a SCRAM.
The Three Mile Island plant has not been de-commissioned; they don't know how to do it.
That has more to do with Green Cheese scaremongering than actually knowing what to do. TMI was in fact pretty well contained, with no radioactive material getting out of the containment areas. In fact, this accident was far worse and had far worse risks than TMI... and again, it was a product of boneheaded designs. (Who in their right mind would build a frickin' open air fission reactor?!?!)
Re: No Radiation?
Indeed. I actually hated how the media started going "oooh the humanity! Another Chernobyl" and the fire becoming self-sustaining with the anti-nuke crowd fueling the flames and saying "but OF COURSE they say there are no aftereffects! Government CONZPIRAZY!!!11oneone".
Unfortunately, Fukushima does seem to have scared a new generation, especially one that is more prone to listening pseudoscience and internet urban legends than real science. Just see Greenpeace trying to block ITER, because they can't see the difference between fusion and fission. Or the difference between the unsafe RBMK reactor and what has been proposed for new stuff.
You MERCILESS FIEND... you put that audio file on AUTOPLAY
Re: youtube
Oh my, so that's why I am no longer able to buffer videos! I rarely used the "stop downloading" option anyway, mostly to get the screenshots used for troll entries (i.e. showing boobs on the thumb preview that never actually appear in the video) but I did use the "pause 'till it finishes downloading" function a lot.
Oh no
I can guarantee the author that I hate both audio and video autoplayback equally. Especially when this happens at work, when I have 20+ tabs and the one doing the noise has to be hunted down. There's a reason why I use my headphones these days.
Interestingly, the sites that don't do instaplayback are porn-related, so real-life actually ended up being the reverse of that "welcome to the first audio-enabled porn site!" joke. Good for them, but also sad to see that only the porn industry thinks about their users well-being...

What did the Romans ever do for us? Packet switching...
Re: Packet Switching
The problem with packet overhead can also be solved by upping the packet size. We're currently doing 1Gbps on local networks, cranking up on 10 or even 100Gbps on backbone links, yet we're still stuck with a 1500 Byte MTU because most Ethernet hardware can't be arsed to stop supporting the old creaky thicknet (thinnet?) limit. IIRC we're currently losing something like 4-5% of bandwidth in packet headers, which might go down to 0.5% if we switched all networks to 9000 MTU jumbograms. Hell, I even think our current tech is good enough to even support 20k jumbograms by now! The 10Gbps hardware is already suffering because of the measly 1500 limit. We're going to need bigger packets...
World+Dog hates PRISM: Cloud Security Alliance
Re: US cloud suppliers "Foreigners are dumb and can't read." @p.houpperman
My feelings on the one are if the processing and information are core to your business don't let anybody else near them. That includes putting sensitive information on the cloud, and indeed inter company transfers of information to any other territory. Don't even mention outsourcing/off shoring ... RBS anybody?
Now you've got a mighty point there. Yes, it's true; companies shouldn't be outsourcing critical corporate data into the cloud at all! Indeed the Snowden affair has raised concerns about this, but even if the USG didn't engage in snooping, companies should be wary of putting their bits outside. Fortunately the clients we've had in the financial sector know this as well, and as such nobody has even thought of doing the RBS "send all our mainframe management stuff to flaky Hindi provider" even before the RBS meltdown.

Back up all you like - but can you resuscitate your data after a flood?

Ever-changing defaults on config files have been a headache precisely because they hit me when I migrate stuff to new boxes. Incidentally, the first time I got hit with something like this was with PHP, so I see they have marched on with the neverending changing of default settings.
'Tis been 3 years since I last experienced a test switchover to the DR system, and that was at a former employer. At least the systems I managed worked fine, though the DR site was heavily underpowered. Hopefully they'll never need to use it, as everything does run but much, much slower.
By the way, I wouldn't quite spend the budget on cloudy backups; what that particular employer did was to have the DR stuff in a DR-specialized facility. They even had an Ops Center that could be used by the operational team for both testing and actual work if the DR plan had to be executed. So while the company didn't own the DR facilities, they were there for the using. Much better than relying on 'the cloud'...

Raid millions of bank accounts. New easy-to-use tool. Yours for $5,000

Yay! Welcome to the club, we've been toting keyfob tokens for e-banking since 2007, by law!!! Depending on the system used by said generator, it'll be secure enough to hamper phishing attempts. Only one bank uses SecurID, but the others use one that does seem to have the generated numbers time-fixed so that the code is only valid for a short time.
I do wonder why banks in other countries haven't done this already?

Re: ?
I can think of many people who would like this feature. Not techies, but the sort of people who realise they need backup of some sort.
Anyone thinking this feature is in any way a backup solution is really, really stupid. No, cloud storage is not a backup solution if it is synched to local storage; it only means that when you delete stuff by accident, your data destruction orgy is replicated on the cloud as well. Same thing goes for those who think RAID is a good backup solution. It isn't.
Backups store data in another media, and that media is usually not insta-synched with the changes in the main storage system. Because backups are used when you fuck up on the main storage system...
Senator: Surveillance state based on secret law 'has no place in America'
Re: Only voters can change this, but...
But at least it does seem that Snowden's actions are slowly but surely firing up a debate on the surveillance state. That at least this senator is calling into question the current state of affairs is remarkable. It has turned things upside down, with the traditional conservatards supporting the administration keeping the PRISM snooping powers even if said administration is a "liberal" one.
And now we all know why the Patriot Act was extended; PRISM would've had to be dismantled otherwise. Hopefully we will actually see this change in the following years.
ARM servers to gain boost from ARM, Oracle Java partnership

Texas man charged in multimillion-dollar Bitcoin Ponzi scheme
Re: yep
I'm guessing the BTC wallet has been confiscated. Maybe. But yes, there's a good chance that those 700k BTC are never, ever going to see daylight ever again. The real problem here is that BTC depends on the private key to "release" the goods ... so if the scammer doesn't give 'em up, those 700k are as good as gone.
Now, I wonder who would be so stupid to fall upon a scam like this. 7% per week return? That screams Ponzi anywhere, BTC or not!
German students get hot 'n' heavy on Coffee Table of Doom
If I were doing HFT systems, I'd be better off using FPGA/ASIC systems or even GPUs. x86 is garbage for heavy loads (or anything else, we should be using RISC) and in fact most HFTs are now doing FPGA these days. Indeed, overclocking an x86 craptel is kinda like putting aviation fuel in a VW Beetle. Sure it might reach 200 km/h in 3 seconds, but the engine's going to blow up in 15 seconds!

SIM cracking
So, it seems that SIM cards in some places are using DES (oh please, who the hell uses DES for important stuff these days?) and whoever's stuck with those is going to get 0wned pretty soon now. Is there a way to know if one's own SIM is one of these?
ARTICLES without comment boxes - Climate, CO2, Anything authored by L. Page...
Some of Lewis Page's articles are fun and interesting to read. Others are indeed a bit anti-MMCC tilted; I still remember the ones where some green-energy initiative set up a power plant (hydro) to power up X houses, then Page counters that it could only power Y houses (which is about X/100) ... but he's fudging the numbers by jacking up per-house kWh usage as he includes heating requirements ... which is currently done with natural gas or propane. Sure, you might make a case if the question is going fully "green", but that wasn't the purpose for that power plant!
I am kind of skeptic on renewables and indeed, nukes seem to be a better option for our power-hungry needs but Page does seem to take 'em over the top.

Articles with no comments
Hey, I actually like what El Reg uses for forum/commenting software. Definitely cleaner than the wretched hive that many "forums" use (I'm looking at you, CommunityServer!) and it has a unique feel to it. Maybe some linkage from related articles to related threads might help the forum usage? And probably adding some kind of tracking on "someone replied/commented on a thread I'm following"? I haven't used the forums much (besides article comments, that is) so I haven't really seen if these are actually implemented and I just haven't checked them out, though.
Re: Oh look...
Fun fact: the comments section in the articles are already a thread in the forums, according to how the system treats comments.
Nah, I guess it is just Lewis going through an Orlowski phase. I do like some of his articles, though...

Re: MiB?
Oh no, please no purism on the prefixes. Even my college math teacher has conceded that computer stuff will always be base-1024 because that's how computers count. Base-10 (and base 1000) are useful to us fleshy humans as it is what we're used to; base-1024 is useful for computery stuff as it is what computers are used to. 2^10, 2^20, 2^30 ... it is even metric even if it isn't base 10.
The ugly fallout on the KiB, MiB, GiB stuff is that now OSX is saddled with the base-1000 units and thus is lying to me whenever I ask how big a file is. At least the underlying OS does still count real bytes, albeit with the -iB suffix.
Re: MiB?
Looks like it was a typo, they turned it back into MB.

Re: Corporate Land Grab anyone?
Unfortunately, we have our own governments to blame on this. Stupid import restrictions are the ones that impose said restrictions against Amazon, not the other way round.
I used to be able to buy US games via Amazon (thus avoiding the horrible Spaniard-dubbed abominations they sell here) but the Mexican Government made it so that all packages with said games were blocked at the border, or have to pay a stupid amount of taxes. Thus Amazon called it quits and no longer sells US games outside the US.
If it wasn't for Steam and other game distributors that do allow me to buy the English versions of games online, I would've given up on PC/Mac games at all by now!
yeah except its called "amazonas" in those countries. sounds more like an extortion racket by a corrupt third world government
Yes, it's called Amazonas in both Spanish and Portuguese, but that doesn't mean you don't have a right to the English name, especially as it is the most used language on the 'net. Should the Russian Federation give up their right to .ru and be left only with the Cyrillic alphabet version of their ccTLD? Is Wales less entitled to .wales than .cymru? Should Mexico City have no rights to "Mexico City" because it's called "Ciudad de México" in Spanish?

And it seems I was proven right; as soon as broadband went ubiquitous, now all those "overcapacity" broadband stuff went saturated. And even now, I'm not sure if that dark fiber has been lit up, or if it remains dead in the water.
With these upgrades, we should be able to crank up backbone bandwidth worldwide, and telcos should stop trying to ram data caps against us...

Updated: May 3, 2013 6:24AM
On the night of Sept. 27, 1972, a cowardly Harry "the Hitman" Aleman waited in the dark to gun down my uncle, William Logan.
My family will never forget that day, especially since yet another offensive TV reality show, "Bo$$ Ladies," seems intent on making those memories painful.
As my mom was getting ready to go to work that evening, Uncle Billy, who lived upstairs with his other sister, my aunt Elizabeth Romo, came in to say goodnight. He was a Teamsters union steward, and he was headed to work, too.
No sooner did Uncle Billy walk out the door than we heard gunshots.
My mother, Johanna Dietrich, ran out the door, calling out "Billy!" All she heard was moaning.
At that moment, my aunt came running down the stairs. She ran outside to Billy, who was lying on a neighbor's front lawn. My mom came back inside, dialed 911 and told my brother to grab a blanket. When
she ran back outside, she found her sister holding their brother in her arms as he lay dying.
That was my last memory of my uncle, a loving and caring family man who was always there when you needed him. He would give you his last dollar.
He was a hard-working man who didn't take innocent lives to make a living.
I feel the need to tell you, right here, that my uncle was not affiliated with the Chicago mob. And although he was involved in a bitter custody dispute with his ex-wife, the motive for his murder remains unclear. The only connection between William Logan and Harry Aleman was through Billy's ex-wife, who was related to Aleman.
Whatever the motive for the hit, Harry Aleman took it to his grave.
In 1977, Aleman was brought up on first-degree murder charges for the killing of my uncle. The evidence was overwhelming. But a crooked judge, Frank Wilson, in a stunning verdict, declared Aleman not guilty. It later was revealed that Wilson had accepted a bribe to rule in Aleman's favor, which led to a second trial in 1997. As for Wilson, he eventually committed suicide in Arizona.
In the 20 years spanning the two trials, my family lived day to day fearing Aleman would never be punished for his crimes. Only when he was re-indicted — after a court ruled that this did not constitute double jeopardy because the first trial had been fixed — did our family finally feel that justice would be served.
This time, thankfully, Harry the Hitman did not escape. He was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 100 to 300 years in prison. He spent the rest of his life behind bars, dying in 2010.
But now Harry Aleman is back, in a way, which is revolting. Franky Forliano, whose only claim to fame — or, rather, infamy — is that she is Aleman's daughter, is starring in a new reality show "Bo$$ Ladies." Last year she was on "Mob Wives of Chicago."
How does a hitman's daughter end up starring in a reality show? I get more and more disgusted with how these shows glorify the mob and disgrace the Italian name. Not every Italian — and I am part Italian — feels that a mob affiliation is such a wonderful thing.
I guess people like me don't have much to say about what gets put on television, but we do have the option not to watch it.
Let's stop glorifying these women and their mob families and show some compassion for the victims and their families.
Johanna Dietrich is a homemaker who lives in the north suburbs.

This is my first time to this island. Can anyone tell about the nitelife there? Good places to eat etc....
re: Eileen
Southern Shore...
re: Hman
Down in the southern part of Kauai you can find really good restaurants and all the hotels have bars with great views and some music. Keoki's Paradise offers lots of tropical fare and music nearly every night. Duke's is always a fun place with decent food. Have a great time and try to get up to the north part of Kauai. You will be amazed!
We try to keep Chowhound focused on chow, recommendations for places to eat is great, but discussion of nightlife is off topic for these boards and will be removed.
My husband and I just returned from Kauai and thought the island was fantastic and the food was TERRIBLE. Everyone told us that we HAD to go to certain places and then when we did, they were mediocre at best. We will return to the island, but next time we will pack an entire suitcase of dry and canned goods to get a headstart on the outrageous grocery prices there and we will cook in the condo. Now we know why the CostCo was so crowded. Here's where we DID eat:
BARACUDA in Hanalei- extremely expensive, very average at best.
POSTCARD in Hanalei - one of the better meals, but that's just better compared to all the rest which were bad.
ONO BURGER - near Kapaa- surely nothing fancy, but one of the BEST meals we had on the island. Way better than Bubba burgers by far.
KEOKI'S - in Poipu - Think Fridays or Bennigans.
CHINESE - the counter place everyone talks about in the China Village in Hanalei was our best meal next to Ono Burger.
re: dostreic
I ate at Baracuda and thought it was just terrible for the price. Also the staff was more snooty than anyplace I have ever eaten. . . ever.
re: favolaus
I LOVED BarAcuda, and went several times during my trip. The service was great too. I really really disliked Postcards.
re: RustyPete
Totally worth it!
The one spot that I recommend to everyone visiting Kauai is: PONO MARKET.
4-1300 Kuhio Hwy
Kapaa, HI
(808) 822-4581
Absolute local food heaven. Personally, I would skip out on all the touristy restaurants and hit this place up every day. I say this because they have so many different kinds of dishes and different specials every day, that I couldn't possibly tire of it for at least a week (when the menu cycles). :)
Do yourself a favor. Make Pono a stop on your first day if you're down for the indigenous experience, and let it set the tone for the culinary portion of your trip.
On another note, you'll probably hear much about HAMURA SAIMIN, and I'm sure the place had its heyday, but keep your expectations low if you decide to partake. Their broth is great and I'm "guessing" that their noodles might also be great, but I wouldn't know because they were cooked way past al dente each time I've been. Personally, I feel that overcooked noodles are the worst thing you can do to a bowl of saimin (or ramen). You might want to see if you can make a special request for "harder noodles" for insurance; always better to have harder noodles which can continue to cook in the broth than to have soft noodles beyond repair. In addition, I've never seen the owners on my trips there which might explain the lack of quality cooking.
Finally, if I had to pick a touristy spot to eat, I would go with THE BEACH HOUSE RESTAURANT in Koloa. Make a reservation at about an hour before dusk and request a table at the window. The sunset is absolutely beautiful and the food is pretty good too. If you're in the Princeville area, the CAFE HANALEI patio has spectacular views of Hanalei Bay and Bali Hai.
