NYCM training: week 15
Wow. Well, here I am. Just a few days – and only three short runs – away from the New York City Marathon! I am so excited. Training went better than I expected. My back feels fine. And, most importantly, my daughter is drinking from a sippy cup!
Hadley stopped taking a bottle at 2.5 months old, so I've been a nervous wreck about NYCM for the past 4 months. I've felt so guilty over leaving her that (on many occasions) I almost canceled my registration for NYCM and signed up for Rock 'n' Roll Savannah instead (it's the same weekend, and it'd be a lot more convenient to bring Hadley to). I've also thought about taking her up to NYC with me and having her stay with my parents in NJ, but that would still mean I'd be without her for a night. Anyway, none of my crazy ideas need to come to fruition now because I know she won't starve. This makes me feel 100% better about my race.
And my legs feel good, too! I am so ready. I've said all along that my A goal is to run sub-4:00, and that my B goal is to finish strong and PR (< 4:17). A lot of people have told me that I've trained to run a faster race than "just" sub-4:00, but I'm not adjusting my goals. I don't have a good marathon track record and I don't want the pressure of some random time goal when any finish time of 3:xx:xx would thrill me. I'm getting a little nervous about the potential winds during the race. Just this past week, the fall winds have made their presence known on my runs and I don't like it! I know it's much windier in the northeast so I'm crossing my fingers for great weather.
Here's how this week looked:
|5mi at 8:40
|6mi including 4mi tempo at 7:40
|30min spin + 30min TRX
|4mi at 8:13
|10mi at 8:27
Mileage: 25mi
Some notes:
- I loved this week. Loved, loved, loved it. I think 20-25 miles per week including a medium-long run and tempo run is my sweet spot. Which means, I should probably stick to half marathons after Dopey.
- I can tell the taper is working. I feel a lot more rested and my pace was naturally faster all week than it has been throughout training. Ok, the 40 degree Fahrenheit mornings didn't hurt either!
- It felt great to be back at spin and TRX. I cannot wait to cross-train again more regularly (I'm going to aim for twice a week again) once I'm recovered from NYCM.
My bib number is 36560 and I'm in Green Wave 2, Corral F. Is anyone nearby? I'd love some company at the start! Also, I had no idea until yesterday that NYCM has a mobile app. How cool is that?
NYCM training: week 14
Remember last week when I was all like " yay, I made it through marathon training without any major problems"? Well, maybe I should have waited until marathon training was completely over before making claims like that.
On Tuesday I lifted Hadley and aggravated a herniated disc in my back (an old college crew injury). I'm not exaggerating when I say I couldn't even walk and was vomiting from the pain. I didn't even care about NYCM for a couple of days – I was only concerned with making it to my brother's wedding in West Palm Beach this past weekend! What awesome timing.
Thankfully, my husband fixed me within a few days. If anyone is local to the Charlotte area, I cannot recommend him and his colleagues enough for sports-related and other injuries. They have access to some of the most state-of-the-art equipment out there – he even treats professional athletes. So, I was better by Friday in time for my brother's wedding!
Good thing, too, because someone had an important job to do.
I missed my long run and one cross-training session this week due to the injury, though. I went back and forth debating if I should make up my missed long run or just be OK with skipping it, and I decided to forget about it. I really didn't want to push a long run immediately after an injury, and I figure one 12-miler isn't going to make or break the marathon.
Here's how this week looked:
|5.25mi at 8:30
|8x 800m at 7:00 pace(7.25mi)
|OFF (back)
|OFF (back)
|OFF (back)
|5mi at 8:55
Mileage: 17.5 <--- I'm taking taper a little too seriously.
I ran with this view on Saturday.
For the next 13 days, I'm listening to my body and continuing to get treatment on my back. I want to make it to that start line so, so badly and I'd rather arrive a little undertrained and too well rested than hurt. Fingers crossed that I make it!
NYCM training: week 13
You guys! I'm officially tapering – and it feels so good. I've never made it through the brunt of a marathon training plan before, but I did this time and I'm so proud of myself!
I know this is no big deal to most of you, but it's a huge accomplishment for me. I've always gotten sick, had stomach issues, had to work extra hours, or had some other excuse that caused me to miss workouts or cut them short. I know I still have a long way to go until race day, but I'm really happy to have made it this far.
This was another odd week. Since I ran the half marathon last Sunday, I had to take it easy pace-wise and skip my usual spinning/TRX class on Wednesday to allow for ample rest days while still meeting my mileage goal. My legs were pretty tired all week from the race, so I didn't think it was a good idea to attempt speedwork. I'm not happy about the absence of cross-training this week, but I always said my runs were the most important part of training and anything else was a bonus.
This was also my peak week for mileage – 42.5! But since the half was last Sunday and I ran my long run on Saturday, I actually ran over 55 miles in seven days. I've never even been close to that number before so I think that's why I'm so fatigued.
Here's how the week looked:
|7mi at 8:56 pace
|8mi at 8:38 pace
|7.5mi at 8:53 pace
|20mi at 9:15 pace
- Tuesday's, Wednesday's, and Thursday's runs were all pretty much the same. I was hoping to add in some fast miles, but my legs were still in recovery mode so I didn't push it.
- My 20-miler didn't go so well. My legs felt good, but it was 70 degrees and 100% humidity at 6:30 am when I started. I'm so over this weather – it was so cool last weekend! I never do well on long runs when it's so hot and humid. My last 5 miles were sub 9:00 but barely. I would have liked to run 8:30's but I wasn't feeling well.
I also took extra walks with my little people to try to stretch out my legs.
Bring on the taper! I used to dread tapering, but this time I'm really excited to take it "easy". We'll see if I still feel that way in another week or so!

I can't remember the last time that I played a show, and didn't sing into one of these. They're predictable, reliable, and basically the industry standard for live vocals. Great for quick demo work at home, too. They even pick up percussion and accordion pretty darn well, too!

Full Name: Terna Nande School: Miami-Oh
Ht: 5-11.5 Wt: 228 40: 4.69 Yr: 4Sr
Pos: Undersized yet explosive linebacker outstanding in pursuit. Possesses a burst of speed, quickly changes direction and fast to the sidelines. Plays with terrific leverage and rarely off his feet. Deceptively strong and holds his ground against blocks. Explodes on the scene and plays with a good degree of suddenness. Adequate job diagnosing the action.
Neg: Gets caught up in the trash or over pursues the action, not playing with great body control. Inefficient, does not always take good angles to the play and makes his first move up the field.
Analysis: A high intensity player, Nande has potential as a nickel linebacker and special teams demon in the NFL.

Best Taiwanese pork chop?
- Peripatetic Apr 12, 2012 12:12 PM
A mention of Jin Yuan (in Industry) reminded me to ask: who has the best Taiwanese pork chop in the LA area? So far my experience of this dish is limited to the "Railroad" at Why Thirsty, which is decent, but -- as I understand it -- not a classical version. (It's not crispy.)
Din Tai Fung in Arcadia have an excellent pork chop. In fact, I like it better than their dumplings
re: BSW6490
Not since Munch closed down, and theirs were packaged offsite.
Wacowla.com (purveyor of ALL things Taiwanese) ranked the top 5 PCR as follows in a recent print issue:
1. Bobee5 (not fried)
Polar Land
Jin Yuan
5. Lollicup Alhambra
re: Peripatetic
They say it's the "people's choice" ie, there was some kind of voting. I used to be a huge fan of Liang's "red yeast" PCR, and that Lollicup does have one of the baddest fry stations of all Lollicups.
Bobee5, which I tried upon seeing wacowla, was underwhelming for me; OTOH, ChowChick was like: OMFG, that's the best pork chop rice in LA.
But I'm with ips: Old Country Cafe FTMFW. If they didn't have a front door, I could almost imagine it being a Taipei shack. Now, he speaks of the Temple City location, and I frequent the Alhambra station, but, for the money/speed/accompanying stir fries/taste... OCC over Dolphin/Sin(m)bala (which were all glossed over in wacowla).
It also happens to be one of the oldest Taiwanese restaurants still in existence. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
re: Peripatetic
huuuge downhill alert due to gross over expansion: http://www.liangskitchen.com/#!__page...
They hit 10 branches in 3 years? Now the NRM tastes like it was cooked at a corporate kitchen and watered down after delivery into sub-stations.
re: TonyC
I don't know why we don't do to Old Country Cafe more often. I think we've been there only twice. My Lovely Tasting Assistant™ was jonesing for a pork chop rice and we went last weekend. Jebus H Criminy- that thing is huge, and delicious, and inexpensive. Fried pork chop over minced pork on rice, with some pickles fresh veggies and a couple o' scoops of suan cai. Is there really any better definition of comfort food? I think if any Taiwanese dish is going to cross the laowai barrier, pork chop rice should be it... what other dish would appeal to the rural farmer as well as the urbanite? Two Americas, joined by pork chop rice!
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
While I don't disagree with you Mr. T (cuz I love me a good PCR, and the one from OCC is by far one of the best, if not the best, renditions), I think my favorite comfort food on a plate with rice right now might be the Eggplant Rice with minced meat at 101 Noodle.
I think that dish could bring Kim Jong Un out of seclusion cuz Dennis Rodman's got nothing on Eggplant Rice.
re: ipsedixit
Been eyeing that eggplant rice the past couple of times at 101 Noodle Express based on your rec. Is there any basil in that version? I like the basil versions mejor.
FWIW, the PCR at 101 Noodle Express is massive and a bit excessive even for a glutton. It's the exact opposite of the version at Din Tai Fung. The 101 version being thick, fatty, and surrounded in crust. I think there were at least 3 bone in chops on that plate. Plenty to take home and eat later.
re: Porthos
No basil, but dunno why you couldn't ask for it.
re: ipsedixit
For favorite (taiwanese) comfort food, I'm going to go with lu rou fan (braised pork on rice) from either Tofu King or Taipei Bistro. It should be eaten fresh, as the oil/fat will cool and sort of solidify on the rice if you take to go and the texture isn't the same anymore.
For porkchop rice, agree with OCC, I also had a good experience at "May's Chinese Restaurant" on Duarte in Arcadia. Though subsequent visits yielded bland-er tasting porkchops. Personally I find that the tw style porkchops happen to be kind of dry in general, even when I ate them in tw.
re: ipsedixit
Rice from a Shandong restaurant?! The horror! The horror!
re: raytamsgv
No more of a horror than having a dumpling/noodle/bao dominated menu.
And to be fair, 101 Noodle is more of a Taiwanese joint, than a Shandong one.
re: ipsedixit
All joking aside, the restaurants are simply selling to what their customers want regardless of their specialties.
re: ipsedixit
I missed that post. I'll have to give it a shot.
Mr Taster
re: wanderlustre
Did you mean Nice Time Deli or Good Time Deli?
re: Peripatetic
I believe it was Nice Time. Used to be in the Focus Plaza, then moved to Arcadia where 101 Noodle Express is now.
re: wanderlustre
Thanks, found it! http://www.yelp.com/biz/nice-time-del...
re: ipsedixit
Won Won's food was never good it was just good enough for the price. Despite that I at there at least once every other week heh.
re: Johnny L
"Won Won's food was never good it was just good enough for the price."
But isn't that good enough? Or at least the way it should be?
We may like the pizzas at Mozza, but if each pie costs $1000, would we still say its good?
re: ipsedixit
Well let me reword myself. It's cheap peasant food but at the price I don't expect the best version of this peasant food. I'm not being negative but that's just how I see it.
re: Johnny L
I don't know. My wife was pretty crazy about their squid soup, and definitely would have paid significantly more than what they charged.
Mr Taster
re: ipsedixit
The new place is run by the same owners. Still serve the tea jelly for dessert!
re: wanderlustre
Not sure which new place you're referring to?
re: Peripatetic
Old Country Cafe (click on the name of the poster wanderlustre was replying to -ipsedixit- and it will show you the place under discussion).
re: Servorg
I understood it referred to ipsedixit's post. What I thought wanderlustre was saying is that the owners of Won Won Kitchen have now opened another place. If so, I'd be interested in the name of the place.
re: Peripatetic
Same spot Won Won was. It's called "Is House" or "Js House". Can't tell if it's a I or J.
re: wanderlustre
Thanks -- looks like it's Js House: http://www.yelp.com/biz/js-house-temp... They're reportedly added Malaysian items to the menu.
Seems to have opened sometime around January. [Attn: JThur01!]
re: Peripatetic
Chandavkl posted about the new ownership already.
re: ipsedixit
Tried it today food is considerably better than Won Won and even though Chandavkl mentioned portions are smaller, I felt just as full from before. In fact I'm thinking about getting it again very soon since its so close to my house. Their fried chicken cutlet rice ain't half bad either. Pork chop is not fried though for those who care but it's not dry and overcooked like it was most of the time at Won Won, in fact it was so moist I had to make sure the pork wasn't raw/undercooked.
re: ipsedixit
I've been meaning to try OCC forever now.
re: Peripatetic
So I've been to Old Country Cafe (Alhambra) twice now. I really like their PCR -- it's almost pork chop tempura (with extra salt)! The condiments that come with it aren't great, but the pork chop itself is hard to beat.
The shave ice at OCC was also very good.
Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I'm going to try a few others that were mentioned.
re: Peripatetic
Good. Should have mentioned OCC is easily one of the best places for shaved ice. Their machine shaves it from large round chunks of ice instead just crushing ice cubes.
Keep us posted on your PCR adventure.
re: JThur01
> Their machine shaves it from large round chunks of ice
I'm surprised more places don't have these machines. It's simple, compact, and the result is so much better than crushed ice. Now I don't have to drive out to Class 302 to get decent shave ice.
Here's a photo of the machine in action from an article by some guy at LA Weekly:
(See bottom photo.)
re: Peripatetic
Shau Mei used to use block ice.
Bumpling, since Wacow finally decided to publish their magazine piece online:
Google translate as necessary.
Tofu King in Arcadia (yeah, the place that still has the "Chan's Paris N" sign out in front, a name that made no sense even when it WASN'T the wrong name...) now has a Taiwanese pork chop special, available with either rice or noodle/sprout soup, that looks curiously bubbly-orange-postnuclear and tastes just as absolutely crack-tacular as their Hound-adored dish #9, the stewed pork and mushroom rice.
It's not on the menu (or in English), just on a neon-orange tag taped to the partition glass near the kitchen. As my Chinese skills are quite limited, I only stumbled upon it by my usual method, i.e. "what is that and how do I get some?"
Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and don't feel like waiting 20 minutes for a table at Din Tai Fung around the corner.
P.S. the old Chan's Paris N, for all its weirdness, did make some really good mega-steam-buns stuffed with more unconventional meat/veggie combos. Anybody know somewhere else in the SGV where I can get my fix of those now?

"The Real L Word" recap: Episode 306 – "Lost in a Bush"
Then it is time to prepare for the White Party. In Lamanda's room, Amanda tells us yet again how annoyed she is that Lauren decided to "wife up" with Kiyomi when it was supposed to be their single girls' weekend. (Hm, kind of like how Amanda couldn't be peeled off of her ex-girlfriend in NYC, so Lauren was left waiting for her for four hours in a bar? Sucks to be you, Amanda!)
Amanda, still irritated and clearly not swaying the heart and mind of a certain miss Lauren Russell, finds another ear roaming around the room to throw anti-Kiyomi sentiment at, and it belongs to Whitney. "You know she's going to try to bring Kiyomi back to our room," she complains.
"You might get in on that action," says Whitney.
"Please," sniffs Amanda. "I would rather lop off my vagina."
At the VIP room of at the White Party, Hunter Valentine, Lamanda, Whitney and Sara huddle around each other like BFFs in a junior high cafeteria. Then Whitney spots Romi across the room. She tells us, "I don't want to deal with drama."
But then she spontaneously starts drama by spewing anti-Romi propaganda to anyone in earshot. She tells the group, "[Romi] is a shit person." And then, "She is shockingly fake. She is one of the fakest people you will ever meet." Ok, we get it. Whitney and Sara hate Romi. This topic is revisited every episode. It keeps coming back. Like herpes.
Meanwhile, Romi is standing around shaking her head, saying nothing. After Romi and Kelsey dance for a bit at the White Party, they retire to their hotel room, and mercifully, we are not forced to watch yet another sex scene where Kelsey hovers over Romi and Romi howls in fake ecstasy into the nearest mic.
Back at the White Party, Kiyomi and Lauren make out in a corner, and Amanda keeps darting her eyes at them.
"It's not like I'm jealous of Kiyomi," she tells us. "I just want some time with Lauren and that she doesn't have her head up Kiyomi's asshole."
Basically, she is jealous of Kiyomi.
Kiyomi notices Amanda giving her the stink eye and is still annoyed that Amanda told Lauren that she was living with Ali, so she decides to walk across the room and have a polite chat with Amanda.
"I can tell you that you are a fucker…" starts Kiyomi, but Amanda interrupts her.
"I just tell that you are a dick," she tells Kiyomi.
Except both of them look like they are trying to suppress laughter. I wonder how many takes this scene took.
"Dude, if you do like my friend, I'm the last person you want to fight with," Amanda tells us. "Come on. You do not want me not to like you. It's like, you're not going to win."
Kiyomi is back on the dance floor with Lauren. They dance for a while and then Kiyomi says the magic words.
And off they go to pound some beers and then pound each other! As she realizes that she has been abandoned yet again, Amanda's expression is not that of a winner.
Well, if you lose the battle, you can still win the war. Right?
The next morning, Kiyomi tells us her concerns about Lauren. "I knew right away that she was going to steal my heart, like immediately. That's trouble for me. That's trouble for a person who is constantly trying to keep it protected and not give it away to anybody. I know that I have feelings for her already, and that makes me nervous."
But Kiyomi has more immediate problems. Tomorrow, Ali is touching down at the place where all lesbian drama originates on this show, LAX, to join the cast at the Real L Word photoshoot. Ali has no clue about Lauren and Kiyomi.
In a rare moment of clarity, Kiyomi tells us, "This thing with Ali and I needs to officially be done."
Elsewhere in a more hygienic and less trainwreck-y part of Palm Springs, Cori, Kaci, Romi and Kelsey meet up to play a round of golf.
"What most people don't know is that Dinah Shore actually has nothing to do with lesbians," says Kaci. "Dinah Shore is actually a golf tournament. It has nothing to do with lesbians drinking by a pool."
"It does now," says Cori.
Cori, Kacy and Kelsey are naturals. Romi, not so much.
Romi tells us that she doesn't care how much she sucks. She's just having fun. "I just like hitting the balls," says Romi. Yep, in more ways that one.
Romi and Kelsey tell us that they like hanging out with Cori and Kacy, because they are a normal couple. Being around them is actually pleasant.
"I mean we'd love to be married like them and start a family one day," says Romi.
"I want to be married more than anything," says Kelsey, her eyes misting over with hope.

Beginner, Flowers, Harvesting, Herb Gardening, Recipes, Robin Haglund, Winter,
Six ways for gardeners can survive winter with style.
Power through branches with ease.
And rehydrating with steeped, steaming garden-fresh herbal blends invokes memories of summery garden days when herbs were abuzz with pollinators and the days weren't nearly as short, dreary and cold as they are mid-winter.
So which plants offer easy-to-grow herbs that work well for homemade teas? As Sue Goetz, horticulturist and lifelong student, teacher and writer about herbs, puts it it: "Tea herbs – you can't just pick one! It's the blending that is the fun part." Sue went on to suggest, "…I make sure that I grow a tender Stevia each year as a tea sweetener. It doesn't grow in winter in our (Pacific Northwest) area, so I grow and harvest like crazy to have a nice jar of dried leaves until the next season harvest."
To grow Stevia, look for small starts at your local nursery early in spring. Pot it into a larger container to grow throughout spring and summer. To harvest, pinch out tips to dry. Pinching will also encourage the plant to continue to grow and branch out, giving you loads of super-sweet leaves to put aside. If you're not familiar with Stevia, know that a very little bit goes a very long way!
If you're looking for something bright, awakening and refreshing for your winter cuppa, try growing peppermint or spearmint. Both are voracious growers that will easily become invasive. But, kept in a pot, they should remain much more tame. As with Stevia, tip these plants regularly – just before blooming – to encourage bushiness and maximize your harvest fast.
Love lemony brews? Lemon balm is a mint-family option; treat it the same as your other mints, and your harvest will be bountiful. Prefer lemon verbena? According to Jennifer Rotermund, whose background includes botanical medicine, horticulture and urban farming, the root of this plant is the best option for tea. If you don't want to dig up and forfeit your entire plant once it matures, consider harvesting leaves, blending them fresh with sugar and freezing the paste (or a simple syrup) for future citrusy-sweet drinks. It will keep for several weeks in the freezer, but don't expect it to last through an entire winter.
Perennial herbs like thyme, sage and even lavender can make for delicious, anti-oxidant-rich and healing teas. Plus, even after harvest and cold weather, these drought-tolerant plants will replenish themselves year after year in the garden.
Love the vitamin-C rich flavor of tangy hibiscus teas? In warm climates, these plants can become perennial favorites. In locations that freeze, they make for beautiful annuals that are easy to grow from seed. After blooms are finished, harvest each calyx (the red part that grows just below the flower) and dry it for your teas. Other flowers like rose, borage and calendula can infuse your teas with flavor and make for beautiful gift blends.
Chamomile is a great herb for taking the edge off at the end of a tiring day in the garden. Fortunately, it's simple to grow too. While Roman Chamomile is an option, German is arguably the tastier choice and showier garden flower. Seed German chamomile by mid-spring to grace garden beds with cheerful pops of fragrant yellow and white flowers well into early fall. Harvest flower heads during the peak-growing season. Clipping just above a leaf will encourage more growth.
Many herbs can be bundled and hung upside down in a cool, dark location to dry their aerial (top) parts for storage. Chamomile, lavender and sage work well via this method. Once they are thoroughly dry, trim to retain only the leaves and flower parts ideal for tea. Or, if you have a food dehydrator, trim your harvest first and then dry it on the herb setting and duration recommended for your machine. Be careful when drying not to mix more pungent herbs with less aromatic herbs or you may miss out on the subtle greatness of the later. Too, pungent herbs can infuse your dehydrator with their aroma – so much so that later batches of other foods may take on their taste.
Once your herbs are completely dry, store them in dry, sealed containers like canning jars for the season. (Clear jars should be kept in light-free pantries.) Leafy herbs may be crushed and stored in bags, but pretty flowers look best stored in something that won't crush them. Even the smallest bit of moisture can ruin your entire batch of herbs. If you find any mold, compost the lot rather than brew it.
There are any number of other fantastic plants to grow and preserve for teas and other medicinal purposes. From tree barks to leaves to roots to flowers and shoots, plants provide us with an astonishing array of tasty surprises and healing concoctions. Be sure you familiarize yourself with the proper use and any interactions a particular plant may have for you, and take care not to imbibe anything you aren't certain about. Visiting an herbalist before you begin may be a good plan. Then have fun with brews from your garden. As Jennifer reminded me, "…the magic is in the blending…(there are) so many possibilities."
A simple cup of flowers
1 tablespoon dried chamomile
¼ teaspoon dried peppermint
1-3 dried borage flowers (optional)
1 dried Calendula flower (optional)
Local honey (optional)
Combine the first two ingredients in a steeper or infuser placed in tea mug. Pour over 6-8 oz hot water – not quite boiling. Allow brew to steep for 5-10 minutes to desired flavor. Remove steeper. Stir in a bit of honey, if you like it sweet. Float borage & calendula on top. Relax, meditate on the swirling flowers & steam. Sip when cooled to palatable temperature.

App DescriptionIntroducing the game of "The ten"
The purpose of the game: Clear field of numbers.
Rules: On the field there are numbers. Your figures, you can substitute the buyout, there are in turn increases from 1 to 9 and so the circle. Substitute its figure to the figures of the field, thus, to form a pair of numbers the amount which is equal to ten digits or a couple with the same values.
Example: 6 + 4 = 10 or 6 = 6
Clear the box is very easy to clean but with a mind to get more points, we must try.

Two Stanford University graduates, Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett, founded Hewlett-Packard Company in 1939 in this Palo Alto, California, garage. The structure is a California State Historical Landmark.
In a Palo Alto, California, garage in 1938, David (Dave) Packard (left) and William (Bill) R. Hewlett developed an innovative audio oscillator used to test high-quality audio frequencies. HP's oscillator improved on existing oscillators in size, price and performance.
David (Dave) Packard (right) and William (Bill) R. Hewlett are pictured here in the Redwood Building in 1944 when Bill was home on leave from the service (WWII).
The partners had a reunion in 1945 when Major William (Bill) R. Hewlett (right) dropped by the Palo Alto, California plant to hear how things were going. David (Dave) Packard (left) ran their then-small business during the three years that Hewlett was conducting research for the Signal Corps during World War II.
Dave Packard (left) and Bill Hewlett participated in the ceremonies on May 19, 1989, when the garage they began their company in at 367 Addison Ave., Palo Alto, California, had a commemorative plaque placed on the site making it a California state historical landmark.
Hewlett-Packard Company's first product, an audio oscillator, was used by Walt Disney Studios to test sound equipment for the movie "Fantasia." (1938)

The coroner found the Mr Ward died of heatstroke when he succumbed to temperatures of 50 degrees celsius inside the van on a searing day.
A coroner says 'inhumane' treatment led to the death of an Aboriginal elder in the back of a prison van on a scorching day in outback Western Australia.
West Australian Coroner Alistair Hope said the death of Mr Ward, 46, whose first name cannot be released for cultural reasons, was ``unnecessary and avoidable''.
Mr Hope criticised the company that owned the van and transported Mr Ward on a 360km journey between the Goldfields towns of Laverton and Kalgoorlie, and accused its custodial guards of colluding in their evidence.
He found the company, Global Solutions Ltd (GSL), the two guards, Nina Stokoe and Graham Powell, and the Department of Corrective Services had all contributed to Mr Ward's ``terrible death'' on January 27 last year.
The coroner found the father of four, from the Goldfields town of Warburton, died of heatstroke when he succumbed to temperatures of 50 degrees celsius inside the van on a searing day.
The court was told that after being picked up for drink-driving the day before, Mr Ward was transported in a van whose prisoner's compartment had no air-conditioning and little air flow.
Mr Hope said Ms Stokoe and Mr Powell, who provided Mr Ward with only a 600ml bottle of water and did not check on him throughout the journey, had breached their duty of care.
He said Mr Ward had no proper method of communicating with the guards, who had colluded on their evidence before being interviewed by police about the death.
The hearing was told that when Mr Ward eventually arrived unconscious at Kalgoorlie hospital, his body was so hot that staff had been unable to cool him down.
Even after an ice bath he had a body temperature of 41.7 degrees.
He had a laceration to his head from falling in the vehicle and a 9cm third degree burn to his stomach from lying on its hot metal floor.
Mr Hope said the department had failed to provide GSL with proper means of transport and that the vehicle was ``not fit for humans''.
The prison van did not have a spare tyre, indicating GSL's ``reckless approach'' towards the transport of prisoners, he said.
``In my view, it is a disgrace that a prisoner in the 21st Century, particularly a prisoner who has not been convicted of any crime, was transported for a long distance in high temperatures in this pod,'' Mr Hope said.
Among his 14 recommendations, he said the WA government must improve its handling of prisoners and review its justice system.
In response, WA Attorney-General Christian Porter said action had already been taken to prevent another ``tragic incident'' and pledged $3 million and a rollout of 40 new custodial vehicles by December 2010.
``Things have improved substantially and I intend to see they improve further,'' Mr Porter said.
``But it now falls to this government to repair the system that allowed this quite shocking event to occur.''
About 40 protesters demonstrated outside Perth's Central Law Courts, where the coroner delivered his findings.
The Deaths in Custody Watch Committee called for improved human rights for Aboriginal people, while Amnesty International called it ``a disgrace that a prisoner should be transported in this way in the 21st century''.
Aboriginal Legal Services of WA CEO Dennis Eggington said Mr Ward's family was happy with the recommendations but wanted criminal charges laid against the government.

Racial realism
|The touchy subject of
|Key concepts
|Racism and racists
Racial realism or race realism (sometimes called human biodiversity or HBD[1]) is a pathetically transparent attempt by bigots to rebrand "scientific" racism. The term is commonly used by David Duke, Jared Taylor[wp], and sundry other white supremacists, which should be a big clue.[2][3] The term is also bandied about quite often by the cranks at VDARE and the Pioneer Fund.
The claims always seem to include, somewhere along the way, one that works out to "black Americans are naturally stupid, so their social position follows unavoidably," because surely nothing else could have possibly caused such a plight. This falls down in that the arbitrary group "people of recent African ancestry" has more genetic variation within that group than do the entire rest of humanity,[4] and claiming they are a genetic grouping defies science.
Racial realist jargon
Racial realism is meant to lend a veneer of respectability to racism. However, even the less foaming-at-the-mouth loons who use the term still prattle on about skull sizes and IQ distribution, and use long-discredited racial classifications such as "Mongoloids", "Caucasoids", "Negroids", and other such chestnuts of "scientific" racism. It also allows racists to act indignant when being called on their racism — "I'm not a racist, I'm a racial realist!"
Racial realists like to call their opponents "race deniers" or "racial difference deniers". There are many problems with this, the chief of which is that race is not "real"; races are social constructions based on arbitrary agglomerations of visible physical genetic traits, such as skin colour. In fact, the most genetically diverse peoples on Earth — who race realists pretty much all regard as a single homogeneous group — are all dark-skinned Africans, as variation per distance is always greatest near the origin.
Adaptation doesn't work like that
Adaptation to environments, including social environments, through natural and sexual selection is the linchpin of evolution. Remembering this means knowing why scientific racism is ridiculous. To argue that races or ethnic groups differ innately in intelligence, however defined, is exactly equal to an assertion that intelligence has proven less adaptive for some people than for others. This at minimum requires an explanation, a specifically evolutionary explanation, beyond mere statistical assertion; without that it can be assumed to be cultural bias or noise. Since most human intelligence is in fact social intelligence — the main thing the human mind is built for is networking in human societies — this would require this social evolutionary arms race to have somehow stopped.
Genetic differences between people from different locations are pretty much entirely genetic drift. Amount of melanin does vary with distance from the equator, and there's recent actual evolution such as lactose tolerance in adults.[5]
The proportion of your genes that controls the external appearance by which "races" are determined is on the order of 0.01%.[6]
The human gene pool does not divide neatly into geographical groupings
Human genetics doesn't work like race realists think it does.
Race realists spend a great deal of time and effort pointing out genetic differences between geographically separated populations in gene clustering research and insisting this is evidence for "races".
In gene clustering research a set of populations is typically determined via subjective descriptors in ethnicity, language and geographics and people can be reliably identified as members of these groups. However, this way of categorizing people depends fundamentally on the quantity and method used to create the aforementioned framework of ancestral populations; how people are grouped into populations is completely arbitrary. This is completely different from the problem of "races", which presupposes that there is only one objectively and biologically valid way of dividing all humans into different populations.
As Jonathan Marks points out:
|What is unclear is what this has to do with 'race' as that term has been used through much in the twentieth century - the mere fact that we can find groups to be different and can reliably allot people to them is trivial. Again, the point of the theory of race was to discover large clusters of people that are principally homogeneous within and heterogeneous between, contrasting groups.[7]
The idea of large clusters of people that are principally homogeneous within and heterogeneous in-between in terms of genetic similarity — the latter being necessary to speak of distinct "races" — has no scientific basis and in fact there is evidence against it. Witherspoon et al concluded in their 2007 paper "Genetic Similarities Within and Between Human Populations":
|The fact that, given enough genetic data, individuals can be correctly assigned to their populations of origin is compatible with the observation that most human genetic variation is found within populations, not between them. It is also compatible with our finding that, even when the most distinct populations are considered and hundreds of loci are used, individuals are frequently more similar to members of other populations than to members of their own population.[8]
Once "intermediate" populations — people living between two greater geographical extremes — are included, you find genetic continuity, not discontinuities. Racial realists' proposed race-labeled genetic clusters all exclude "intermediate" populations; sampling and including such populations destroys any illusory genetic discontinuity.[9]
Icelanders and Ashkenazim constitute genetic clusters; "Asians", "Caucasians" and particularly "Negroes" do not.
Notable racial realists
- J. Philippe Rushton: Advocate of "Life History Theory" that proposes that all socially desirable personality and intellectual traits are concentrated in the white and Asian races, whereas all the antisocial and undesirable traits are concentrated in black people. Repeatedly criticised in academia for sloppy scholarship including using questionable sources of information including the Penthouse Forum.[10]
- Richard Lynn: Eugenics advocate who recently wrote a paper claiming that black people have longer penises than whites, who in turn are better endowed than Asians.[11] This was based on Rushton's "Goldilocks" theory of race: "Orientals have big brains but small genitalia, Africans have small brains but big genitalia, but Europeans Are Just Right."[12] One of the key sources of data used in this paper was the World Penis Size Site,[13] an anonymously compiled source that includes a lot of made-up data and bogus references.[14][15] Lynn has also stated that "incompetent cultures" need "phasing out."[16] Just to clear up any doubt about which cultures he thinks need "phasing out" he writes: "Who can doubt that the Caucasoids and the Mongoloids are the only two races that have made any significant contributions to civilization?"[17]
- Donald Templer: Authored a book on penises used as an additional reference by Richard Lynn even though Templer has no qualifications in urology. Advocates the voluntary sterilization of welfare recipients on eugenics grounds.[18]

Only issue I had was the restaurant was a little noisy for casual conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for Special or Romantic OccasionsFoodieWannabeDined on 11/16/2014Restaurant overlooks Lake Union; great view day or night. Food is fantastic; steaks are the best you will ever find anywhere, and they offer some original seafood entrees as well. Desserts are just plain great; we had an excellent Granny Smith apple tart. Wait staff are personable and they know their menu. Recommendations were always spot on. Large variety of wines and spirits, from pricey to inexpensive, traditional to adventurous. Atmosphere is surprisingly quiet for such a busy location. This is a great place for a romantic dinner or to take special friends and out-of-towners.Special Features:
- Special occasionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/14/2014This is the type of resturant that just makes you feel good. The food,service,and views are second to no one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family VisitARK63Dined on 11/9/2014Brought family who were visiting from FL - excellent service and food as always. Was disappointed that my glass of wine didn't make in time for me to enjoy with my steak. But otherwise food was spot on.Special Features:

- Fabulous, As Usual!Seattle1983Dined on 11/7/2014We went to Daniel's Broiler to celebrate my husband's birthday. We got caught up in terrible traffic around Mercer and were about 30 minutes late for our reservation and they still our table waiting for us. Our waiter was attentive and the sommelier made excellent recommendations. The food was really delicious and perfectly prepared, and they provided my husband with a (complimentary) birthday dessert. We also ordered the seasonal pumpkin flan, which I highly recommend.Special Features:

- Great Food and ServicegamerchikDined on 11/1/2014My boyfriend and I were going out for a fancy evening. We had a gift card to this place from a friend and decided to try it out. It was fantastic. My boyfriend had the filet and Lobstertail and everything was cooked to perfection. I had the prime rib which was amazing. I always judge a steakhouse by their prime rib and this was one of the best I'd ever had. It was melt in your mouth tender and bursting with flavor. The horseradish sauce wasn't overpowering and the bernaise on the side was smooth and just enhanced the flavor of the meat. The sides were all fantastic as well.Special Features:
- Great SteakEsselleDined on 10/31/2014Ordered the filet mignon which was fantastic. The charring on the outside of the steak was great, and it was flavorful. The mashed potatoes that came with the steak was okay. The appetizers were pretty good, we ordered the calamari and dungeness crab legs. The fried calamari was not too greasy, and the legs were cut for us and tasted fresh. The coconut ice cream we got for dessert was fabulous. It was not a cheap place to eat, but we were expecting that. It was worth trying it out.Special Features:
- Birthday DinnerBeatsDined on 10/25/2014We went to Daniel's Broiler for my son's birthday dinner. The food was excellent and so was the service. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and cooked perfectly. What a wonderful meal.Special Features:
- Nice Choice for DinnerJerrodsdadDined on 10/25/2014Ok, what is it with Seattleites? This is a high end steak house, could you at least dress up just a little? Thank you, - Rant Off. Seriously, the food was good. Our waitperson, Sara M, was very knowledgeable and very personable. There were two of us. Started with the clam chowder, and it was tasty, but a little too thick. For the entrees, I had the 8 oz filet, my wife had the swordfish. The filet was tender, as you would expect and nice flavor. My wife liked the swordfish, but my tasing of it was while nice, needed a little something extra (not sure what, but a little something extra). Deesert, we both had the creme brulee. With 3 glasses of wine and a Bailey's and coffee at the end, the total was $180. It was a good evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great DinningBobbywayne1943Dined on 10/1/2014Daniels is a great place to dine, drink wine and celebrate a special event. The view is wonderful. The food is out of this world and they have great outdoor dinning. Being able to watch the sea planes land is an extra bonus.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerBellaDined on 10/1/2014Daniels was excellent. We had never been to Daniel's before and were very happy with our choice. We both had steak which was cooked perfectly and so tender. seasoned superbly. The service was excellent, everyone that came in contact knew it was our Anniversary which was kind of the staff to make a note of. The only tiny thing that wasn't up to standard was the Caesar. It was soaking with the dressing and the dressing wasn't what I would say was up to the rest of the meal. But that's so tiny compared to everything else! At the end the server brought over a dessert with a candle, it was so thoughtful. Excellent meal, and date night! We will be bringing our out of town guests back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not impressedBeefeaterDined on 10/1/2014My steak was tough and flavorless The crab stuffed prawns were over cooked The drinks were stiff which was a good thingSpecial Features:
- Delicious FoodrelowaDined on 9/30/2014We had a fabulous time at Daniels. We were early so we had drinks and starters in the bar before dinner. Our table in the dining room was at the window and we had a great view of Lake Union watching the sea planes, crew teams, kayakers and boats. The food was perfectly prepared and delicious, the steaks were so tender and flavorful. The service was perfect; the staff was attentive without being obstrusive or annoying. We are looking forward to going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upscale diningayjaymayDined on 9/27/2014Service was excellent, wine selection is extensive, views of lake union are beautiful. Our table was ready soon after we arrived, and we enjoyed the bar/lounge area after dinner to watch the end of the Mariner's game. My wife ordered the 8 oz Filet Mignon and was pleased. I had the 12 oz New York - it was tough. Granted, the New York cut is not as tender a piece of steak as the Filet, though it was still tougher than what I expected. There are better in Seattle for less. Expect to pay a premium at Daniel's for dinner for two + a bottle of wine.Special Features:
- Food was not greatkwfrickeDined on 9/26/2014I expect to have really nice food when spending this kind of money. I was not impressed.Special Features:
- Top notch service.JtsuthDined on 9/26/2014Timing during each stage of the meal was perfect. The food was cooked to perfection. Excellent portions great flavors worth the money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Superb ExperiencepjjcDined on 9/24/2014The staff at Daniel's is excellently trained and superbly capable of offering the best dining experience. Congratulations to manager Mike Hillyer and to Schwartz Brothers Restaurants on their wonderful success. And the food is delicious!Special Features:
- excellent steak houseLeslieVIPDined on 9/24/2014The service is impeccable. steaks are top notch but they're not giving anything away. very expensive. not somewhere you would go often but the view is hard to beat and the filet fabulous as was the delmonico and asparagus side. save room for the grand marnier chocolate strawberry dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best steak houseDanielDined on 9/21/2014You can certainly look around and spend more for a wonderful steak dinner, but honestly, it won't beat the experience of Daniel's Broiler which is by far my favorite steak house. There is a high level of consistency between the 3 different locations and they each have their individual perks. We were treated to THE BEST table in the restaurant when I requested a view table after I had made my reservation. What a treat!Special Features:
- UnimpressedJustanopinionDined on 9/20/2014Value for the money you can get as good if not better meal at the keg. While nothing really stood out as bad nothing really stood out either. Steak wasn't the best I've ever had. Appetizer ahi tuna was difficult to eat presentation wise (large slices, too thick, difficult to share) I wouldn't tell people not to eat here, I just wouldn't tell them to go out of their way either. It was overall a good time and a decent meal just not for the cost and time.Special Features:
- Disappointing to find inconsistencySeattleNativeDined on 9/20/2014We dine at Daniels frequently and love the view, service and food. That said, this time the food was fair at best. My husband ordered prime rib medium rare but when the food came the prime rib was cold. The prime rib was replaced and was warm but well done. Another member of our party was served dry salmon. I have never had such experiences at Daniel's! My husbands dinner was comped....but we were crushed as this place has been gem for many special occasions!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Many of these individuals and families will be ones for whom no socioeconomic safety nets exist: the underemployed, uninsured, underpaid and underfed, and undocumented residents of low-lying sections of Brooklyn, Staten Island and Long Island. disaster case management will be the means by which these neighbors will obtain the tools and resources they need to get back on their feet.
