Let us introduce ourselves, we're Theresa and Chris Therrien and we run the Silver Moon Crêperie. In 2006, we opened the original Silver Moon Crêperie in Dover, New Hampshire. At that time, we were New Hampshire's first of it's kind crêpe cafe. As a husband and wife team, we ran the shop exclusively for almost 7 years. In 2013, to escape the harsh New England winters (and longing for a pleasant change of scenery) we packed up our shop and moved to Portland, Oregon, where the crêperie is now located on 4220 N Mississippi Avenue.
Our goal has always been to provide a tasty, affordable and unique dining experience. We are VERY casual and VERY family/kid friendly. Simply order at the counter, and everything is brought out to you. Here, you will NOT find any beret wearing waiters or souvenirs from Paris, just delicious crêpes made before your eyes and happy smiles all around.
Our specialty is crêpes (thin pancakes) that originated in the northwest region of France called Brittany, but now found throughout the world. Our house-made crêpe batter contains a unique blend of flours and is made from scratch daily. Every crêpe is made-to-order and folded with your choice of either sweet or savory ingredients. In addition to our regular (wheat) batter, we also offer our "essentially" gluten free (buckwheat) and vegan (chickpea) batters.
Assorted beverages are available: imported sodas, fresh-brewed coffee, various teas, espresso drinks, fresh fruit smoothies (dairy free) and fresh, made-to-order juice. We also offer beer, wines by the glass, as well as three local hard ciders on tap.
We accept all major credit cards and cash. Gift certificates are available upon request.
Hope to see you soon!
Theresa & Chris

Technote (FAQ)
How do I obtain the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter for the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile?
In order to connect to WebSphere MQ from the Liberty Profile, the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter must be used. The Liberty Profile does not contain the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter. It must be obtained separately.
The WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter supports JCA v1.5. To provide full integration with WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile the WebSphere MQ 7.5 Resource Adapter has been updated to APAR IC92914. This resource adapter retains full compatibility with other JavaEE 1.5 and above application servers.
See "WebSphere MQ resource adapter v7.1 and later statement of support"
The WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter can be downloaded from Fix Central. To locate the latest version that is available for download, enter the phrase "Resource Adapter" in the Text Search box. The name of the file to be downloaded will be in the format of <V.R.M.F>-WS-MQ-Java-InstallRA.jar.
The jar file that can be downloaded from Fix Central is executable. When run, it will display the WebSphere MQ license agreement, which must be accepted. It will ask for a directory in which to install the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter. The Resource Adapter file and Installation Verification test program will be installed to that directory. The directory will be created if it does not exist.
The directory could be the resource adapters directory of an application server or any other directory on your system.
To start the installation issue the command:
java -jar <V.R.M.F>-WS-MQ-Java-InstallRA.jar
from the directory to which you downloaded the file, where:<V.R.M.F>-WS-MQ-Java-InstallRA.jar
is the name of the file that was downloaded from Fix Central.This requires a Java™ Runtime Environment to have been installed on your machine and added to the system path.
For example, in order to install the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter for the V18.104.22.168 release, the folllowing command would be used:
java -jar 188.8.131.52-WS-MQ-Java-InstallRA.jar
This would display the following:
The Programs listed below are licensed under the following terms and conditions in addition to those of the IBM International License Agreement for Evaluation of Programs (IBM form number Z125-5543-05).
Program Name: IBM WebSphere MQ V7.5 - 06/2013
Before you can use, extract, or install IBM WebSphere MQ V7.5 -
06/2013, you must accept the terms of 1. IBM International License
Agreement for Evaluation of Programs 2. IBM International Program
License Agreement and additional license information. Please read the
following license agreements carefully.
The license agreement is separately viewable using the
--viewLicenseAgreement option.
Press Enter to display the license terms now, or 'x' to skip.
Either press 'Enter' or 'x' as required, after display of the license or immediately on selection of 'x', additional license terms can be displayed.
Additional license information is separately viewable using the
--viewLicenseInfo option.
Press Enter to display additional license information now, or 'x' to skip.
Again press 'Enter' or 'x' as required.
The license now need to be accepted, this message is displayed:
By choosing the "I Agree" option below, you agree to the terms of the
license agreement and non-IBM terms, if applicable. If you do not
agree, select "I do not Agree".
Select [1] I Agree, or [2] I do not Agree:
Selecting '2' terminates installation immediately. Selecting '1' allows selection of the installation directory.
Enter directory for product files or leave blank to accept the default value.
The default target directory is H:\Liberty\WMQ
Target directory for product files?
Enter the directory to install the files to, or press 'Enter' without entering any value to install the default location as displayed. After the files have been installed to the requested location a confirmation message is displayed:
Extracting files to H:\Liberty\WMQ\wmq
Successfully extracted all product files.
Files Installed
Within the selected directory a new directory 'wmq' will be created. Inside the 'wmq' directory, the following files are installed.
The xml files are deployment and resource descriptions for various application servers as denoted by the prefix. The wmq.jmsra.ivt.ear is the installation verification test program. The wmq.jmsra.rar is the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter RAR file.
Details of running the installation verification test are within the WebSphere MQ 7.5 Product Documentation
Liberty Configuration
Details of the Liberty configuration should be checked in the WebSphere Application Server Product Documentation. In summary, an additional feature should be added (wmqJmsClient-1.1), and reference the wmq.jmsra.rar file added. An example configuration to support servlets and MDBs, with JNDI might look like
<variable name="wmqJmsClient.rar.location"
If an EJB is deployed using solely the configuration within the ejb-jar.xml, the version of WebSphere Application Server that the Liberty Profile is using must have APAR PM89890 applied. This method of configuration is used for the Resource Adapter's installation verification program (IVT), so this APAR is required in order for the IVT to run.
Platform Support
In addition to the platform support defined by the WebSphere MQ System Requirements, the WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile includes platform support for Mac OS X. Therefore use of the resource adapter within the Liberty profile on Mac OS X will be tolerated. Outside of the Liberty Profile the platform support for the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter is unchanged

Road To The Unknown Lyrics - Magica
I walk a road to the unknown
To seek the scroll of stone
To untie the course that`s holding down my soul
I`ve searched through all mankind
The cave that i must find
To speak the words that will unchain my mind.
Years and Years go by
I still fight to save my soul
And now I`m on the road to the unknown.
The frozen earth below
My footprints in the snow
Are drawing now the picture of my life.
The mountains in my sight
Are shining in the night
But the blow and silent forest`s in my way.

Even though this event is taking place on April Fool's Day, I promise you it's not a hoax. Of course you may still not believe your eyes when you arrive at oceanside near Zuma beach to find a tent filled with top wineries from the southern Central Coast and food from dozens of top restaurants including Nobu. But that's the appeal of a wine tasting event in Malibu, isn't it. Instead of the pelting rain that attendees of the World of Pinot Noir event were treated to a few weeks ago, you get sand underfoot and balmy temperatures in which to sip your wine.
At least that's the idea anyway.
The Third Annual Malibu Wine Classic brings residents of Southern California a chance to taste wines from over forty producers in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and surrounding areas.
I've never been to this event but apparently it is quite popular, so much so that the organizers have broken it into two separate sessions this year -- an afternoon tasting from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM and an evening tasting from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. If it were me, I'd go early and make sure I got some SeaSmoke before it ran out.
The 3rd Annual Malibu Wine Classic
Saturday, April 1st, 2006
1:00 PM to 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Sunset Restaurant
Westward/Zuma Beach
Malibu, CA
Tickets are $75 per person in advance, and can be purchased via the web site. The event will likely sell out.
It's no hoax. Justin Smith of Saxum; Matt Trevisan of Linne Calodo; Stefan Asseo of L'Aventure....and 96 others. And yes, Chris Curran's juice will be here...etc etc.
be there or be regretful!

Bio of Elizabeth Hurley
Born on June 10, 1965, in Hampshire, England, Elizabeth Hurley is the daughter of an army officer and an elementary schoolteacher mother. After college, Hurley worked in the theater and made her screen debut in Aria (1987). Roles in Television, and a film Remando al viento (1987), which included a young actor named Hugh Grant soon, followed. European films followed her appearance in the BBC serial "Christabel" (1988) (mini). Her film debut in a Hollywood movie was in the Wesley Snipes action drama Passenger 57 (1992). When Hugh Grant was picked up with Divine Brown, Hurley became headline news. Added to this was the fact that Elizabeth Hurley was the model representing top cosmetics house Estee Lauder, and there was no place Elizabeth Hurley could go to get away from the press. In 1994, Hurley and Hugh Grant set up Simian Films in partnership with Castle Rock Entertainment. As Head of Development, Hurley found the script and produced her first film Extreme Measures (1996), which stars Hugh Grant.

Food movement leaders tend to stick to their specific issues, whether it's advocating for healthy food, fighting for workers' rights or curbing marketing to children. For each of these issues, there are numerous food corporations that need to change. But there is one organization that conveniently provides us with one giant target for all of them: the National Restaurant Association.
The "other NRA" employs 750 staffers and spent nearly $4 million on lobbying and campaign donations in 2012 alone. The trade group representing some 52,000 members was named a "Heavy Hitter" by the Center for Responsive Politics for being a top corporate player in Washington, D.C. No wonder, with board members that include the nation's largest chains such as McDonald's, Wendy's, Starbucks, and Darden (the restaurant conglomerate that owns Olive Garden and Red Lobster), among others.
NRA Hates Public Health
The National Restaurant Association has had a negative impact on a wide range of issues that foodies tend to care about. Do you think chain restaurants should provide basic nutrition information to their customers? Is it really too much to ask to disclose the calorie count for dishes like the "Five Cheese Ziti" or the "Steak Gorgonzola-Alfredo" at Olive Garden? The NRA thinks so, as the group lobbied against menu labeling laws for decades, until they "gave in" by stripping states of their right to enact such laws. The NRA hated New York City's menu labeling rules so much that the group filed a lawsuit to stop implementation. They lost.
But that didn't stop NRA lawyers from filing another lawsuit against New York City when lobbyists didn't get their way again, this time to oppose limiting the size of sugary soft drinks. (That case is still pending.) Science and plain common sense tells us that consuming sodas out of bucket-size containers is probably not good for you. Yet the NRA and its members demand their right to keep selling these disease-inducing beverages by waging an aggressive astroturf and media campaign in cahoots with the soda industry to manipulate public opinion.
Other public health policies the NRA has vigorously opposed include soda taxes, trans fat bans and lowering sodium levels, which are sky-high in chain restaurants. But there are a few policies the NRA is actually in favor of, such as expanding the use of food stamps for fast food. They also led the charge for "cheeseburger bills", which aim to shut the courtroom door to customers harmed by unhealthy fare.

Hey guys, first time posting on forums. Normally only read but I haven't found an answer yet. I know haste is important for GCD and so on. But my question is what should the cap be? For some reason I feel weird when stacking haste without a cap. Right now I'm at 11.84%. Thanks in advance, if this is a stupid question please let me know. I haven't played since vanilla and just picked it back up a few months ago so i'm still kind of a noob.
90 Tauren Paladin
Probably won't be out of reach next patch though.
37.08% Haste unbuffed and the soft cap of 50% is correct but note that's 50% unbuffed, not 50% raid buffed.
I believe Full Heroic BiS gemming haste comes to around 45% haste so the "haste cap" is out of reach for this tier, maybe next tier.
I roll with 50.xx% "haste" raid buffed so keep on stacking that haste :D
Edit: You could get a bit more haste 2-3% more with your gear c: just letting you know
Edit 2: Added quotation marks due to misunderstandings
Edited by Filfa on 6/3/2013 1:18 PM PDT
90 Human Paladin
This could be misinterpreted :
I roll with 50.xx% haste raid buffed so keep on stacking that haste :D
You don't roll with 50.xx% haste raid buffed. You roll with whatever Haste you have on your gear and a melee attack speed buff that gets rolled into your haste on your character sheet.
They are not the same. There is no Melee haste raid buff.
90 Human Paladin
what happen to haste value when we hit 50% unbuff?
90 Blood Elf Paladin
Filfa, why are you reforging into crit instead of mastery?
what happen to haste value when we hit 50% unbuff?
Haste's value will likely decrease very slightly as one of the primary reasons to stack it (reducing our GCD) will be met. It should, though, still continue to reduce our rotational ACDs.
Filfa, why are you reforging into crit instead of mastery?
Stat weights fluctuate on an individual basis. I think my current weight hast crit > mastery, too, but I don't have excess stats to go into either.
Haste's value will drop off like a rock. Think of how good Haste was in Cataclysm when GCD wasn't reduced, but regular CDs were (protip: it was awful)
You really don't need to worry about this unless you are gonna be doing T16 heroics though, or they introduce a Thunderforged mechanic for 5.4.
Edited by Kangarooster on 6/3/2013 9:21 AM PDT
Filfa, why are you reforging into crit instead of mastery?
^ This
You can check your own stat weights via a simcraft
Edited by Filfa on 6/3/2013 1:19 PM PDT
Haste was bad for Ret in Cata because it affected one skill, and it didn't scale nearly well enough to make much of a difference. And mastery benefited from more skills, so it made for better damage. Also, gems were weighted differently so we couldn't stack it as high from sockets.
90 Tauren Paladin
Well, haste was really good when 4.0.1 hit and Ret could stack enough haste to bring CS to a 3 second cooldown. The problem was that it took way too much haste to reach that point at 85, and haste had very little effect between 4.5 and 3 seconds, so it simply wasn't worth taking.
That's not an issue now since Sanctity of Battle reduces the GCD as well, however once the GCD cap is reached haste's value should drop. By how much depends on what the cooldowns of CS and Judgment are at that point, though.
Once you reach the GCD cap, haste stops providing more abilities, and mostly just lets you replace abilities with stronger ones. The difference between an Exorcism and nothing is much smaller than the difference between an Exorcism and a CS. Since crit and mastery already aren't far behind haste, I would be quite surprised if haste was still the most favorable stat past 50%.
Edited by Ravicana on 6/3/2013 9:02 PM PDT
As of my last sim, my haste weight is .58, and my mastery weight is .54. Crit can indeed pull ahead of Mastery for some setups (I've been there myself for most of MoP), but this doesn't mean Mastery is not strong. It just means that it's very close to crit, close enough that it a small change in weight can reverse the ranking.
I mean, Hand of Light is a solid 15-20% of our damage...
The primary reason then as now was because it didn't offer more abilities per GCD; like Ravicana said, it only provides a better ability per GCD at best.

Only in California? A cancer warning on my new coffee mug
- Glencora Jan 9, 2011 11:21 AM
I recently bought a coffee mug at a school fundraiser. It's one of those cheap white ones made in China and decorated here, often sold as souvenirs. I have a bunch of them from various places and events. However, this one has a sticker that says: "California Law Requires This Warning. This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects other reproductive harm." If this one does, then presumably all the others do as well. Should I care? It's probably silly, but I've been drinking coffee out of a glass mug since I noticed this sticker -- despite the fact that I've been using other white mugs from China for almost twenty years. One more thing to worry about?
re: Chemicalkinetics
Lead, in various forms, is on the Prop 65 list (see link in another post). But just because the product has the warning, it does not mean that you will be exposed to it. Lead in the solder of an appliance is enough to require the warning, even if there is little likelihood that you will ever touch that solder, much less ingest it.
As a native Californian, I can certainly say that practically everything in California seems to be labeled as possibly causing cancer. I currently live in Chicago, and I don't see these labels here. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I bought cute little ceramic shot glasses at the San Diego airport as souvenirs for my office, and they had the sticker on them. Hope it doesn't make me a bad person, but I took the stickers off and gave them out anyway.
It could be lead based glaze on the mug. I bought this balsamic vinegar at Whole Foods only a couple months ago and I was just about to open it up when i looked at the back and it had that warning on it for lead in the glass container. I also have seen that sign at the dinnerware section of Target for lead in the glaze. I am already dumb don't need lead to make me dumber.
re: septocaine_queen
Lead in glass is awesome. People pay big bucks for this. Really. That is how you get really high quality glass -- glass crystal.
re: Chemicalkinetics
If you are concerned about lead in glassware, Schott Zweisel is making Titanium crystal. The titanium makes for a very sturdy glass and they are as thin as some Baccarat. The price is better too. Did you know that with very thin lead crystal you can actually flex the glass? The lead softens the glass and that makes it flex and etch easily. That is why washing in a dishwasher is not recommended
re: septocaine_queen
Ha! But I don't think in this case it's lead. I do wonder what chemical it is. I've seen clothes with the label, too. Not that one eats clothing.
re: Glencora
Edible underwear...so quickly forgotten.
A good many of those souvenir mugs do contain lead. But there are a large number of other chemicals that require Prop. 65 warning labels.
In my own home, I check to make sure the mugs are certified as microwave safe. If that information isn't on the bottom of the cup, I simply put about two ounces of water in the cup and nuke it for a minute or two. Just long enough for the water to boil. If the cup gets hot (some get so hot I can't remove them from the microwave without a pot holder) I simply dispose of the cup. Or use it as a pencil holder on my desk.
re: emily
If the bowl gets hot by itself in the microwave, it should not be used there. The classic case is melamine bowls. On the other hand if the bowl gets hot because the contents are hot, that shouldn't be any more of a problem than if the bowl gets hot when you pour boiling water into it.
The parking garage at my office has a Prop 65 warning. They're so ubiquitous that they've become meaningless.
My guess would be that the paint on the mug has a listed substance in it. Assuming that only the outside is decorated, you probably have nothing to worry about. For that matter, you probably have nothing to worry about anyway.
re: alanbarnes
That makes sense. I'll refrain from licking the outside of the mug.
Okay, I don't live in California so I don't see all the Prop65 warnings that you're obviously inundated with ... I too would start to find them meaningless. But really, how much does one have to read about tainted food and products (lead in the paint of childrens' toys, melamine in children's milk and animal food) originating from China before you maybe think twice about putting that mug to your lips ... I would have no comfort that the lead, or whatever it is you're being warned about, was limited to the outside decoration ... but hey, that's just me.

This week's column features several computer tablets other than the better-known iPad. Obviously, taking into consideration last week's hints as to weight, size and price will help to make up your mind as to the tablet best suited to your own needs.
• Samsung Galaxy Tab, much smaller than the iPad, is less than a half-inch thick and measures less than 7.5 inches long and 4.75 inches wide. It weighs only 0.825 pounds and is priced from $349. See www.samsung.com.
• LG G-Slate's dimensions and weight go up a bit. It is still only a half inch thick, but measures 9.6 inches in length and is 5.9 inches wide. The LG G-Slate weighs 1.37 pounds. It's priced from $400 and may be further checked at www.t-mobile.com/gslate.
• The Acer Iconia A500 (Android) is perhaps more popular than the first two. Measuring 10.25 long and 7.5 inches wide (also only a half inch thick) and weighing 1.7 pounds, it's priced from $450. See www.us.acer.com.
• Blackberry's Playbook is a lightly weighed 0.9 pound. It mneasures only 0.4 inches thick, 7.6 inches long and 5.1 inches wide and is priced from $499. Logon to www.us.blackberry.com/playbook-tablet.
• HP's TouchPad may be more recognizable than some of the others, but it's definitely larger at 9.5 inches in length and 7.5 inches in width.
While it weighs a tad less than the Android (1.6 pounds), it costs a tad more — from $500. Check it out at www.hp.com/touchpad.
"But I want an iPad!" you yell. The iPad was initially the only tablet around and so, of course, its name lingers in the minds (and even emotions of some of my iPadding friends).
Even though it doesn't support Flash animation and is often too large to cart around for every minute use, the name does have a certain cachet and, therefore, remains the most popular specimen.

stratto pizza - avenue road
- domesticgodess Mar 20, 2009 11:28 AM
It appears that this new restaurant has opened and as I was driving down Avenue road, I even noticed that the restaurant was busy.
Has anyone been?
I called them up - no website yet - but the address is 1977 Avenue Road.
I'm sure this restaurant will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood..time will tell.
re: Ediblethoughts
I was there in mid April and the place was busy. Overall we found it to be very mediocre food - pizza was especially disappointing; salad and pasta were passable. With Trio at Yonge/Lawrence being so much better we all agreed that we wouldn't waste our money at Stratto again.
re: Ediblethoughts
I haven't been, but a good friend has and she found it really quite bad. She won't be going back and I don't see any reason to try yet another mediocre Italian restaurant. Trio is my go to spot for casual Italian in my neighbourhood.
re: TorontoJo
Thanks to both of you. Yes, Trio is very hard to beat. I won't be making any plans to go to Stratto I guess.
I haven't been yet either but a couple of friends have and they were all happy with it. Said the food and the service was good, prices were reasonable, and the place was packed. They thought it would be a good place to take the family for an early dinner also.
re: ddelicious
Does anyone have a recent review of this place? I was thinking of going there this evening. Or can anyone suggest a place on Avenue Road that is worth visiting?
re: theresah
i am curious to hear recent reviews of stratto as well. however we went to tutto pronto for dinner a few weeks ago and were really impressed, food was great and not expensive.
re: ddelicious
Thank you very much ddelicious, I drive this place all the time and have never been in. Given the reviews of Stratto, I think I will take you up on your recommendation. Stratto seems like a family place. I am looking for a place to take my mother-in-law.
re: theresah
Stratto is nothing special. Like others have mentioned Trio is a far better option for real Italina pizza & pasta. Was not too impressed.
I gotta say Avenue Rd/401/Lawrence area is lacking in really good restaurants. Don't even think about going to Il Fornaro, a menu with over 10 spelling mistakes and a million options on it is always a bad sign! Tutto Pronto is good, I like it more for take-out, sandwiches etc. Oh well...maybe one day we will get a really great palce? Maybe Terroni will open up another location?
re: mlz
I'll take Trio and it's warm, friendly service and willingness to adjust the menu for you over Terroni and it's hipper-than-thou service and draconian no-substitutions menu any day. I really do like Terroni's food, but the crowds, service and attitude really keep me away. And Trio's pizzas are really tasty. I do recommend you ask for them "well done" if you like a slightly crisper crust in the middle, though.
re: TorontoJo
We eat at Trio a lot as it is within walking distance. The food is very good and they are incredibly flexible about amending dishes. Only thing is that it seems like Eduardo (the owner) is always doing us a favor by serving us. The other staff couldn't be nicer, but the owner is a bit of a jerk.
re: robb
Oh that's too bad! I have the exact opposite experience with Eduardo -- he always greets us warmly and gives us great service. He and his brother, Luigi (two doors up at Sapori) are actually a big part of why we enjoy their restaurants so much. They can be a bit over the top and effusive, but I've never found them to be jerks. But I agree that all the other staff are super nice.
re: TorontoJo
I also like the pizzas at Trio more than the pizzas at Terroni.
I didn't realize Luigi and Eduardo were related. I've enjoyed my meals at both places- have always found the owners to be friendly, as well as the staff.
Maybe they are a little more friendly to the lady customers? It's not unheard of ;)
re: phoenikia
Yes, that could very well be it. They only started recognizing my husband on his own recently -- before they would only recognize him if he was with me. :)
And for more "all in the family" service -- the main server at Sapori is Gus and Gus' nephew is a server at Trio.
re: TorontoJo
I've not been to Trio, so I can't compare, but I want to say a word in support Terroni. The last time I was there was right in prime dinner time and the place was packed. Still, our waitress was exceedingly friendly, making good recommendations for those who hadn't been there, happily putting up with indecisive orderers, spending time talking to the GF's dad, who is from Italy, about the maker of the wine we were drinking, etc. Actually, it was some of the best service I've had at a restaurant in Toronto--genuine, personable, friendly, but not at all in-your-face.
re: markdsgraham
That's good to hear. My experience has probably been 50/50 there. Sometimes great, sometimes not so much.
Tried this place out this weekend because we were in the neighbourhood and it was surprisingingly good. We have two salads (arugula and spinach/mushroom) and they were both quite good--just enough dressing and while there wasn't a hugely generous amount of non-greens ingredients (like fennel, apple or gorgonzola in the arugula salad), it all came together nicely. We then had the cannelloni (stuffed with ricotta, rapini, pine nuts topped with mushroom cream sauce--I asked for tomato cream) and the chicken with eggplant (pollo della nonna). They were both very tasty. I'd say the chicken was a bit over-priced at $24 but even so, good food. We had vanilla and chocolate pecan creme brulees for dessert and they were both very good nice creamy flavours and a wide area for the brulee part---though I wasn't fond of the pecans in the brulee--kind of soft and soggy. Still, the chocolate creme brulee was lovely.
I'd go back.
Lightly sautéed Chicken Breast topped with tomato sauce, tender eggplant and Mozzarella cheese
re: Ediblethoughts
Stratto has the worst pizza I have ever tasted!! Went there last night for a casual meal of salad & pizza and I couldn't even eat more than 1 peice of pizza. It tasted worse than a frozen pizza at the grocery store and I am not exaggerating. It baffles my mind as to why this place continues to be busy every night, I guess people don't know good food anymore or maybe just don't care? In the area, the only place worth having pizza is Trio.

Boston PD: 3rd explosion at library
Published On: Apr 15 2013 05:04:33 PM EDT
Boston police say there's been a third explosion in the city, following two blasts near the finish line of the Boston Marathon that killed two people and injured many others.
Police Commissioner Edward Davis says authorities aren't certain that the explosion at the JFK Library was related to the other blasts, but they're treating them as if they are.
David says there are no injuries stemming from the third explosion.
He urged people to stay indoors and not congregate in large groups.

Experts from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia were among the leaders of two large national studies showing that extending CPR longer than previously thought useful saves lives in both children and adults. The research teams analyzed impact of duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients who suffered cardiac arrest while hospitalized.
"These findings about the duration of CPR are game-changing, and we hope these results will rapidly affect hospital practice," said Robert A. Berg, M.D., chief of Critical Care Medicine at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Berg is the chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of the American Heart Association's Get With Guidelines-Resuscitation program (GWTG-R). That quality improvement program is the only national registry that tracks and analyzes resuscitation of patients after in-hospital cardiac arrests.
The investigators reported data from the GWTG-Resuscitation registry of CPR outcomes in thousands of North American hospital patients in two landmark studiesone in children, published today, the other in adults, published in October 2012.
Berg was a co-author of the pediatric study, appearing online today in Circulation, which analyzed hospital records of 3,419 children in the U.S. and Canada from 2000 through 2009. This study, whose first author was Renee I. Matos, M.D., M.P.H., a mentored young investigator, found that among children who suffered in-hospital cardiac arrest, more children than expected survived after prolonged CPRdefined as CPR lasting longer than 35 minutes. Of those children who survived prolonged CPR, over 60 percent had good neurologic outcomes.
The conventional thinking has been that CPR is futile after 20 minutes, but Berg said these results challenge that assumption.
In addition to Berg, two other co-authors are critical care and resuscitation science specialists at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia: Vinay M. Nadkarni, M.D.,

This is the Batmobile introduced in the 1989 Batmobile movie starring Michael Keaton and directed by Tim Burton. I do not like any of the other batmobiles that have come out since this. This one to me seems like the ultimate car.
Gadgets & Gizmos
Browning machine guns
Grappling hooks
Batdisc thrower
Hydraulic lift
When activated through voice command, the entire car is protected by bullet-proof shield plating
To squeeze through narrow space, batmobile can jetison its side and tail section and contract the wheels into rollerbade configuration to transform into super-streamlined Batmissile.
Tim Burton's live-action films Batman and Batman Returns presented a different version of the Batmobile. It reflected the environment of Burton's Art Deco Gotham City.[15] It was huge, long, low and sleek, and was built on a Chevy Impala chassis.
In Batman, we first see the Batmobile when Batman comes to rescue Vicki Vale from the Joker and his henchmen outside of the Gotham Museum of Art. The two then escape in the Batmobile and Batman drives them to the Batcave, where he then gives the secret of the Joker's chemical combinations to Vicki. The Batmobile's next appearance is when Batman sends the car into Axis Chemicals on autodrive, and has it drop explosives inside, destroying the factory, though the Batmobile's autodrive gets it out safely.
In Batman Returns, the Batmobile was given a more sleeker black coating. In a notable scene from the film, Batman finds himself trapped in the Batmobile under the Penguin's control. This comes after the Penguin and Catwoman have framed Batman for committing murder.
[edit] Technical specifications
* Length: 260.7 in
* Width: 94.4 in
* Height: 51.2 in
* Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.7 seconds
* Maximum Speed: 530 km/h with booster
* Engine: Jet Turbine[16]
* Fuel: High octane; 97% special (gasoline paraffin mixture)
* Torque: 1750 lbf.ft at 98.7% ROS
* Wheelbase: 141.0 in
* Wheels: Cast alloy, 15 x 6.5
* Tires: High aspect L60-15
For quick maneuvers, this Batmobile had side-mounted grappling hook launchers and a central "foot" capable of lifting the car and rotating it 180°.
[edit] Features
Reputedly, every gadget seen on the Batmobile used in these films was fully functional, including the jet engine, which consumed fuel at such a high rate that there was only enough fuel capacity to run it for the approximately fifteen seconds of the longest shot in which the viewer can see it operating. Spherical bombs could be deployed from its sides. An afterburner[17] was housed in the back. Two Browning machine guns were hidden behind flaps in each fender. Its Grappling hook, once hooked on a structure, serves as an anchor to allow the batmobile to make an extremely sharp turn at high speed that its pursuers typically cannot duplicate. It had superhydraulics for course changes, and a batdisc ejector (side-mounted) that could fire precisely 15 Batdiscs in the 1-second pulse. Other gadgets included chassis-mounted shinbreakers, oil slick dispensers and smoke emitters. Inside, the two-seat cockpit[18] featured aircraft-like instrumentation, a passengers' side monitor, self-diagnostics system, CD recorder, and voice-command recognition system. In Batman Returns it is shown to have a secondary mode referred to as the "Batmissile", where the wheels would retract inward and the sides of the vehicle would break off, converting the car into a thin bullet train-like form capable of squeezing through tight alleyways.
The Batmobile's shields are made up of ceramic fractal armor panels[19][20][21]. They explode outward when struck by projectiles, deflecting injurious force away from the car and its occupants. If Batman has to exit the Batmobile for an extended period of time, he can, through a voice command[22] (specifically, the phrase "shields")[23], activate the Batmobile's shielding system. This prevents people from tampering with the car while it is left unattended. Bulletproof and fireproof steel plates envelop the body and cockpit entirely. While this armor is in place, the vehicle cannot be driven. In Batman the shields[24][25] were not fully functioning. In reality, a life-size model was built and the animation was provided by stop motion technology. In Batman Returns, the shields[26] had the same characteristics. However, the design was slimmer and the special effects were provided by computer-generated imagery.
[edit] Other appearances
* Replicas of the Tim Burton-era Batmobiles are on display in front of several Batman: The Ride roller coasters.
* Historic auto attractions in Roscoe, Illinois displays a replica Batmobile from Batman Returns as well as the "Batmissile" in addition to a replica of the Batmobile from the 1960s television series.
* A series of OnStar TV advertisements featured this particular Batmobile being equipped with the system. This which allowed Batman to call various Gotham characters, summon police, remotely unlock the vehicle's doors and find the nearest jet fuel station.
* This version of the Batmobile was later seen in the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman episode called "Don't Tug on Superman's Cape", an episode which shows that some collectors had apparently stolen the Batmobile.
* In the movie Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Daffy Duck drives the Tim Burton version of the Batmobile into the water tower on the Warner Bros. studio lot, causing it to fall over and nearly crush Jenna Elfman's character.
* On the TV series Animaniacs, the Tim Burton version of the Batmobile approaches the WB studios front gates, the guard at the door greets the driver by saying "Good afternoon Mr. Keaton."
* Yet another Animaniacs cartoon features a parody of the poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. As the WB studios empty out for the Christmas break, the Tim Burton version of the Batmobile pulls up to the gate, and Ralph the Guard waves it through, saying, "Goodnight, Mr. Keaton, that's a lovely sedan."
* In a third Animaniacs appearance, Dot Warner's interpretation of a Puck soliloquy from A Midsummer Night's Dream renders the line, "And Robin shall make amends ere long" as "And the Boy Wonder will save us." The Tim Burton version of the Batmobile then drives up to the Warner siblings and opens its canopy; Robin pulls the trio into the car, which departs, saving them from an angry fairy.
* In the "RPM" episode of the animated series The Batman, one of Bruce Wayne's Batmobile prototypes is the Batmobile from the Tim Burton films.

The Best Hot Dogs in the Bay Area
Every year, a group of hot dog lovers rent a limo and visit five hot dog places to find the perfect dog. After two years, our results are as follows: We graded these places on the basis of 1 (horrible) to 10 (Superb) Here's where we are so far: Mark's Hot Dogs at 48 South Capitol Street, San Jose (8); The Happy Hound, 15899 Los Gatos Blvd, Los Gatos (9) Windy City Pizza and Barbeque, 35 Bovet Road, San Mateo. A genuine Chicago dog, Vienna beef, Vienna Poppy Seed roll, flourescent green relish, sport peppers all imported from Chicago. The ultimate expeience west of State Street (10); Famous Frankfurter, 293 El Camino Real, Millbrae (5); The Roundhouse at the Ballpark in San Mateo Park (7); The Mutt Hutt at 1904 Washington Avenue, San Leandro (9), Top Dog at 2534 Durant Avenue, Berkeley (10); Kaspar's, 4521 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland-Closed, post condolence letters on their wall of remembrance at the store on the triangular land mass; Oscar's at Hearst and Shattuck in Berkeley (8) and finally, so far, The Junket at El Cerrito Plaza in El Ceritto (3). We are planning our third Hot Dog Safari, concentrating in San Francisco, so far we are considering Red's at Pier 45, El Pelon at MIssion and Van Ness and one more try at Top Dog #6 at Center Street in Berkeley. Any suggestions, we plan on ending the tour at Gino and Carlo's Bar inNorth Baech after consuming the standard five dogs.
With this beautiful weather Melanie's find in Golden Gate park is worth a try, Happy Belly Dog.
Let's Be Frank, a cart, has two location Pac Bell (game days) and Cristy Field (weekends?). The only thing you have to beware of is make sure the dogs are hot. A couple of the servers are only so-so and don't heat them up correctly and the dog suffers.

re: ML8000
Unfortunately Let's Be Frank will not be at the ballpark this year, per Tablehopper (scroll down a bit for the story): http://www.tablehopper.com/2009/03/ch...
re: farmersdaughter
You know, if I was an inside vendor, I'd have the same concern. It's a wonder they were there that long.
I heard LBF was going to open a small store front in SF, but that's all I heard, no where, etc.
re: ML8000
Let's be Frank is supposed to open this week on Steiner between Lombard and Chestnut, in the space formerly occupied by Hahn's Hibachi.
re: bobpantzer
According to @letsbefrank on twitter, "starting to plan our grand opening party for our new shop, 3318 Steiner St, opening first week of May."
re: bobpantzer
According to the latest tweet from @letsbefrank, they "hope" to open on May 4.
re: bobpantzer
This makes me very happy -- I've been very curious to try Let's Be Frank.
re: a_and_w
If you want to make your own, Marina Meats on Chestnut sells Let's Be Frank dogs by the pound. I was extremely underwhelmed. If you try the new Steiner Shop, you can always wander over to the new Miette on Chestnut for dessert. It would be a perfect match in terms of product quality.
re: a_and_w
Bi-Rite sells the dogs if you want to buy them and cook your own. They're good but I really like the Prather Ranch hot dogs better.
re: a_and_w
I was in the Marina the other day and needed lunch so I stopped by LBF. The space is nicely done, small, looks like a hot dog place but modernized, comfortable, nice tables outside. The staff is pleasant. The dog was good (and hot like they should be). I had the Italian, tasty and you could tell the quality.
The only minus -- $6 bucks for one dog (tax brings $5.50 to $6.02). I know they make their own dogs out of quality ingredients but psychologically that's a price barrier, for me.
For quasi-street food, I think including the tax in the listed price helps sales. At $5 bucks flat I think they could do quite well and as a consumer I could rationalize things easily. However at $6 for the dog and edging towards $10 for a dog, chips and drink...that's a bit much. They did seem to pick the right 'hood for that price however.
re: ML8000
This was the new place at 3318 Steiner St. at Chestnut St? $5 for a hot dog from a fixed location in that neighborhood. Are you experiencing one of the Enterprise's spacetime continuum dislocations. Welcome to 2009 and bring money.
re: wolfe
Yeah Steiner and Chestnut. The space looks to be about 600 sf, although I didn't see the back. I know the rent in the area is high but $6 bucks for a hot dog?
It was tasty but I think that's a barrier, at least to me. I think at issue isn't the quality but the premise of that much of a humble dog....like a $6 taco. I could see a $7.50 combo for a dog, drink, chips but edging toward $10 you're pricing repeat/regulars out...although maybe the Marina is different.
re: ML8000
aaaaackkkk ... meltdown ... major meltdown warning
The problem I have always had with Top Dog is that people rave about the 'hot dog'. What they usually are. talking about is the other sausages
So LBF may be serving a nice Italian sausage but that is not a dog.
That being said, thanks for the report on the new place. I felt you might be nice enough not to mind my venting on the subject.

re: rworange
Honestly, I don't like LBF's dog, not enough spice but the brat and Italian are both good. I like the Top Dog (hot dog) better then LBF's, but I also know it's full of junk...but that's a hot dog.
re: ML8000
I don't care abodt junk in a hot dog, but just thi nk TD is ordinary at best hotdog-wise. I get the impression that the actual hot dog is a quality dog.
re: macadam
Anyone else out there try O My Dawg? I really like their extra-crispy shoestring fries with aioli, and their dogs aren't bad too. Apparently they offer currywurst and a bunch of German beers too.
re: Agent 510
I tried O My Dawg. I liked the dog and condiments (a very nice job) but didn't like the shoe strings but I'm not a shoe string fan and they were coated in seasoning.
re: rworange
What about Hot Dog Depot?
Do you think its worth a stop for this group?
re: chemchef
It is pretty far out in Martinez. Otherwise I'd recommend that if they could get there on a Tuesday when the Martinez farmers market has Meyer's BBQ which has really great char-grilled dogs. I think someone mentioned that Meyers is at Jack London Square for the Sunday Farmers market, however that might not be in their time frame.
re: rworange
The Toronado does not serve food. I think you are thinking of Rosamunde Sausage Grill which is right next door.
>>"...and one more try at Top Dog #6 at Center Street in Berkeley."
Just an FYI, but other than the room, the Top Dog on Center is exactly the same as the ones on Durant and Euclid. The calabrise with kraut, onions and brown mustard at TD is my favorite sausage anywhere.
Let's Be Frank opens its Marina store in "two days" and has posted a pic of the menu. http://twitpic.com/4cmiz
Since you are renting a limo, might be worth coming up this way for your dog: David's Hot Dog on the Green in Windsor. Chicago style, everything flown in from Chi-town.
Went there about a month ago and it was F-A-B! Hubby is from Madison, WI, and has spent many a weekend in Chicago, he believes it is the real deal. They were great.

Isn't that like asking why aren't all burgers using, say, Niman Ranch beef the same? The variables are bun, condiments, prep.

1. dogs are handled much less than burgers, and cooking/seasoning/storage is significantly less of a variable, unless you're talking about a Top Dog like treatment.
2. I was really looking at their specifics, for insight into their rating system and tastes. I think we're all aware of the variables.
I go through periods where I eat a lot of hot dogs... and I used to love going to the Mutt Hutt. I'm surprised anyone else really knows about it... it's a bit out of the way and doesn't keep long hours.
The service there is fantastic and friendly, the atmosphere is homey with the local newspapers all around. They used to use a Caspers dog but I think they changed for a while? Other than it being incredibly warm in there in the summer, it's a great place to go to.
re: Jumbo_Jack
Yes. I was stepping back to let the OP answer. It was just something to consider. Miller's seems to have the lock on East Bay hot dogs and is the most common served dog. That being said, that same basic dog is different at a lot of places due to being grilled, steamed, fried, etc and the additional items.
Went to O My Dawg yesterday. Funny location, I think its next door to a Methadone Clinic or Drop in Treatment place so the people watching from their outside tables is a little depressing and semi-weird. The interior is tiny, maybe seats 8-10. Not inviting to sit inside unless you are 4 and take over the window. It looks uncomfortable with low seating & cubes with no back as I recall. You order at the counter and they either bring it to you or you pick up. Not unpleasant inside but not really a place to relax & hang out though they had a selection of "Oakland" & "Blender" magazines for perusing.
I ordered the "Beer Combo"-Dawg, fries+dip & beer(4 types of bottled Spatens, I had the Fransiscaner) 10.25$
The Dawg-YUM! Great taste and perfect snap. The woman cooking & countering said it as I said it "Its all about the snap!" She owed me a coke. Nice fatty flavor & smooth texture. Menu doesn't say where they come from. I will ask next time.
The Bun-Ass. It was dry maybe stale too. Sad. I think maybe they want it to stand up to the toppings/sauciness? I didn't even bother eating 1 side but made an open face with the softer side.
The Toppings-I just went for "everything." Sauteed very dark onions, sweet. Nice relish that seemed to be a mix of dill & sweet. I liked it which is unusual for me. Ketchy & Yellow mustard, basic. Definitely wasn't overdressed, just well dressed.
The Fries-OK if you like the shoestring seasoned/almost breaded variety. I et them up just fine with the Chipotle Mayo which was great. The fries are minuscule but its a generous portion. Lots of dipping options-Lemony Snicket(they must have kids)=lemon/garlic/aioli, Road Runner=Chipotle mayo, Japanese Warrior=Wasabi mayo, Mellow Yellow=curry mayo, Indian Summer=Curry Chipotle, Curious George(they must have kids or love kids books)=Curry ketchup.
They have a selection of sausages and specials. Basic Dawg price range 3.50-4.75. Brats, Knockwurst, Apple/Chix, Polish, Hots, Linguica w/vinegar & Paprika(Portugese?), Andouille and a veggie soy based dawg. They also do a Germanic Currywurst, chili dawg(next time I think this is the medicine for me), a bunless platter w/ 2 or 3 sausages 7.50/11.25 AND POUTINE!!!! whoa am I in Ottawa?! They do a gravy, onion, fries, chili addition for 4.00.
Weds & Thurs they do a burger called "Flat Freddy" I want to try that its made of pork & beef.
Sun-Thurs 1130-4
Fri & Sat 1130-7 "or later..."

Gee ... Poutine and currywurst ... gotta get over there. Thanks for the report
Did an informal comparison of late-night hot dog options in the Berkeley area. All are cash only.
Top Dog: the best. Large choice of sausages, the basic hot dog is top quality. Excellent sesame seed roll (quite different from last time I was there a year or two ago). Garnish bar with various mustards etc. Open until 2am daily, 3am weekends.
Smokehouse: classic, good, no choice of sausage. Decent bun. Comes with mustard, pickle relish, chopped onions, and/or ketchup. Chili and/or cheese optional. Open until 1am except 9pm Sundays.
Sumo Grub: choice of chicken apple, Polish, or hot link. Polish was very good. Lots of toppings available (cheese, chilicheese, wasabi mayo, kimchi, etc.), one comes free. Dog can be griddled or battered and deep-fried. Bun nothing special. Open until midnight Thurs.-Sat., 10 Mon.-Wed.

No one mentioned Jimbo's Hot Dogs in San Rafael. They take their dogs and sausages seriously, since that 's all they do. Soft steamed buns and lots of condiment choices. It's north of San Rafael on 101, on the frontage road just east of the freeway, south of Smith Ranch Road and north of the Northgate exit.
