I have eaten at the Old Spaghetti Factory for years. Seven years ago I found out I had Celiac Disease and that the Spaghettti Factory had gluten free food. I had no problems the first five times. The last time I was there which was one month ago I became very ill after eating there. I called and talked to someone about it and they said the manager would contact me. The manager never did and I will never eat there again. Too much cross contamination and Heather the manager could care less.
The Old Spaghetti Factory has long been one of my favorite restaurants. When I discovered I was celiac it was wonderful to find out they had a gluten-free menu. My favorite is the Mizithra spaghetti with marinated chopped chicken. It's been delicious each time I've had it and I have never had problems with it. I'm not super sensitive though. Cross-contamination is possible, which is why marked it as a "no" for celiac-friendly. Tip: Let the waiter/waitress know you're celiac or allergic/intollerant. They are required to tell the management and a manager will usually make sure everything is okay, and deliver your food themselves. Want to be really sure you're safe? Ask for a manager immediately.
Bad experience here. Food was bland and my son and I both reacted to it. Never again.
I ate here once and all was well, the second time somehow my food got cross contaminated and I was sick for two days. I ordered the same thing both times. I am afraid to go back.
Manager is awesome. Comes to your table before your meal to see if you have any questions. Servers are knowledgable about gluten free and what isn't or what could be questionable.
71-700 California 111, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270
Mediocre food but they have a GF menu and food comes out with a flag, so you know your getting the right meal. I'd go across the street to Cheesecake Factory or Roy's if you are in the neighborhood, but if you have a GF kid looking for Mac n cheese it works. Staff is kind.
727 N. First St., St. Louis, MO 63102
Nothing special. It was nice to have a GF desert tho.
12725 S.E. 93rd Ave., Clackamas, OR 97015
The staff was excellent. They understood the need to make sure there was No cross contamination on my meal, due to me being celiac. Very knowledgable caring staff & the food was delicious!!!!
1050 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96814
Very nice GF menu. The pasta was good and they flag your entree as GF before they bring it out of the kitchen. Good experience.
5718 S. 1900 West, Taylorsville, UT 84118
I am obsessed with this place. I have never gotten sick before. The only reason it gets a 4 is for not offering GF bread or a GF appetizer.
189 Trolley Square, Salt Lake City, UT 84102
I've never had a problem and been here often. The GF Mizithra is so tasty!
1610 East Shaw Ave., Fresno, CA 93710
Not the best. Food is blend. No taste. 3 stars for the great services. Be careful eating here.
1050 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96814
My daughter loved the food. Pasta comes with a flag that states it is gluten free.
275 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
They have a section of the menue with all gluten free items listed (very helpful) Unfortunately they don't offer just regular spaghetti noodles it's the spiral noddles...which are kind of gross in my opinion. Their food is just OK
235 W. Market St., Louisville, KY 40202
We love this place. My two celiacs have always had a wonderful meal and have never had a problem with being glutened. We all love the gluten free pasta, sauces, dressings, browned butter and spumoni ice cream. A great restaurant for celiacs. I believe they are GiG trained.
5718 S. 1900 West, Taylorsville, UT 84118
OSF has all the policies and accommodations to provide a safe dining experience for those have celiac. But when I went in, about halfway through my meal I found a piece if angel hair pasta in my gf noodles. I woke up in the middle if the night doubled over in abdominal pain. I went back the next day to talk to the manager about the careless way in which my food was prepared. She was not in the least bit apologetic. I told her that I suspected my noodles were cooked in contaminated water. She's said there was no way that could have happened and went on and on about what they do to prevent cross contamination and seemed almost unwilling to admit that it was their fault. I stated that it doesn't matter how many policies are in place if the employees don't follow them, and very obviously, one of her cooks didn't follow gf prep practice and I suffered the consequences. Her final and very insincere response was, "Well, I'm sorry you got sick but we do everything we possibly can to prevent that." needless to say, I won't go back.
1431 Buena Vista, Duarte, CA 91010
I had the pasta with Mizithra cheese and it was delicious! They have good GF options compared to most restaurants.
1050 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96814
Well, first time I got sick, second time no problem. The pasta is delicious (Heartland brand) but the marinara is unimpressive. Alfredo was much better. I only go here when my friends want to, but they do seem to mostly know what they're doing.
575 University Mall, Orem, UT 84097
Their Alfredo sauce is to die for. Even if you just get the Alfredo sauce to go, I've used it on my own pasta and bread. Delicious!
18925 N.W. Tanasbourne Dr., Hillsboro, OR 97124
I've eaten here many times and it's always been great! No issue whatsoever!
12401 Folsom Blvd., Rancho Cordova, CA 95742
My favorite gluten free pasta spot. Mizithra and brown butter gf pasta with shrimp=gluten free heaven!
3155 W Chandler Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226
Love this place! I go there all the time and I never had an issue with cross contamination. Staff is really friendly and wants to make sure their food is safe for us celiacs.
2702 W. March Ln., Stockton, CA 95219
I wanted to love this place since they do have a gf menu but the service was so slow it was terrible. 20 minutes for a refills and no follow up!
1910 J St., Sacramento, CA 95814
gluten free menu. good options for celiacs and they taste great. being able to eat pasta in a restaurant is not something that I get to do often so I love going to OSF
5718 S. 1900 West, Taylorsville, UT 84118
I have worked at this location and have eaten there several times a week with no problems. Love the mizthra!
1050 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96814
Their gluten free menu provided plenty of options. The server that we had was not at all competent dealing with gluten free menu items (he asked me if I could have bread!), but the dish, when it arrived, was incredible. I'll be going there whenever I have a craving for Italian, but I hope I don't get the same kid who served us last time.
2801 Elliott Ave., Seattle, WA 98121
I found it delicious!!! The pasta was amazing but there could have been more of it! And I was happy I could have salad entrée and dessert! Plus the server was hilarious :) I thought it was super good :)
0715 S.W. Bancroft St., Portland, OR 97239
Terrible food. My pasta with meat sauce tasted like Hormel chili. I felt sick as soon as I walked outside. The waiter brought me a salad with croutons. I should have known better.
3191 Mission Inn Ave., Riverside, CA 92507
Ordered gluten free yesterday and got sick less than an hour after eating. Server acted knowledgeable but there are obvious cross contamination issues. :(
3191 Mission Inn Ave., Riverside, CA 92507
Their gluten-free pasta is yummy---I enjoyed a 50/50 mix of Mizithra cheese /butter and gluten free Alfredo sauce on their pasta. I like their creamy pesto salad dressing and the spumoni is always a nice treat!!! They make accommodations for preparation of the pasta, and they let you know it's GF by serving your meal with a GF flag-toothpick on the top of it... :-) Their prices aren't bad either... PS their broccoli & mizithra is sadly not GF because of its preparation... Happy Day -
1418 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85004
Decent GF selection, the wait staff seemed pretty informed about allergens and the pasta dish came out with a little flag clearly marking it GF
71-700 California 111, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270
I have eaten at this particular Old Spaghetti Factor a few times now and have been happy each time. The brown butter sauce and Mizithra cheese is very good. Staff seems very knowledgeable and the menu and website clearly depict what is GF. The menu items will come out with GF flags on them so it is clear. Only reason why I gave 4 stars is I would appreciate more selections on the GF menu. Would definitely recommend to others.
1735 Jefferson Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402
They have a gluten free option for noodles. I don't know what they do in the back in the kitchen, but I was extremely sick after eating there. I have celiac and I am very sensitive. I wouldn't recommend for celiac.
2702 W. March Ln., Stockton, CA 95219
I have always loved this place, since I was a kid, but recently I have not been able to eat here...tonight I got my favorite spaghetti....It was great
210 S. Meridian St., Indianapolis, IN 46225
So I tend to avoid Italian restaurants like the plague because of the usually lacking options that I am provides. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the Spaghetti Factory offered a gluten free menu, which included not only pasta, but Italian sausage as well. The prices were pretty decent. The meal include salad, bread for the carb lovers, and a choice of spumoni or vanilla ice cream for dessert. The service was good. I do have to give the server props for noticing that there was a blue cheese crumble in my salad and got me a new one prior to serving it.
189 Trolley Square, Salt Lake City, UT 84102
Recently diagnosed celiac! I was pleasantly surprised to see TOSF had a gluten free pasta. It tasted fine. My waiter had no idea about GF so my hope would be that they teach the staff. As far as the options it's fine, they left croutons off my salad and made sure not to bring the bread at the same time as my salad and gf meal. Wouldn't be my first choice because I think the menu is already so limited, but I'd go back if others wanted too.
111 N. Twin Oaks Valley Rd., San Marcos, CA 92069
Corn and Rice blend pasta with different sauce options. Baked chicken, broccoli side dish, delicious creamy pesto salad dressing. delusions cheese and browned butter sauce on broccoli and pasta.
18925 N.W. Tanasbourne Dr., Hillsboro, OR 97124
I got so sick here. I should have guessed that the experience would not end well when our server mixed up the salads when my whole party ordered the same thing. My pasta could not have possible been gluten free. To make it even worse...the server was horrible!!! We sat in the caboose this woman could not be bothered to even bring is water. We had to ask for drinks multiple time before someone brought us something.
275 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
You can pretty much have any of the pasta dishes as long as you get the gluten free pasta. Very delicious! I just wish they offered something more, like gluten free rolls, bread or some sort of appetizers as well.
2107 Broadway St, Redwood City, CA 94063
Kids friendly, clear GF menu including kids meals, quick and pleasant service, knowledgable staff. Options are somewhat limited, but no complaints.
6320 South Gilmore Rd, Fairfield, OH 45014
excellent, pasta was well done multiple choices on sauces and you can mix and match. when you tell them gluten free they are very helpful on what does our doesn't have gluten. they have a gluten free menu on the back on the menu including Alfredo sauce. very happy with this restaurant.
275 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
They have a special section on their menu with gf options. I appreciate the effort but the food was mediocre
2801 Elliott Ave., Seattle, WA 98121
literally chicken from a can. I don't even care if I get sick later or not the food is total crap!
730 S.E. 160th Ave., Vancouver, WA 98684
The staff was very courteous about our families food allergies. The gluten free pasta was very good and a good selection of sauces available. I was highly impressed.
1735 Jefferson Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402
I cannot express how much I love this place. It has the Tacoma historicesque to the building. Their gluten free menu is small, but I have come multiple times and absolutely love their Baked Chicken Meal. It comes with a salad and all their dressings are spectacular. You must try this dish if you can, the mizithra and romano cheese blend with the tomato base sauce on gluten free fusilli noodles and a marinated chicken piece is scrumptious. it also comes with a scoop of icecream, all for just over 10 bucks. The only reason I rated 4 stars is the restaurant isnt GiG trained so the staff and sort of unknowledgable about GF foods at times. Sometimes we have to wait but it is always a pleasant meal and dinner date with my man. :)
2509 S.W. 196th St., Lynnwood, WA 98036
the food is sub par in taste and worse still in that I didn't enjoy the meal and got sick afterwards to boot. if you are truly gluten sensitive save your money and go somewhere else. you shouldn't waste your money when you could probably cook something better in a camp kitchen.
11896 Foothill Blvd., Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
Great prices. They have a gluten free menu with tasty chicken and pasta that's delicious. One of our favorite places to go.
275 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
they have gluten free pasta and a special section on the menu for gluten free.
1050 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96814
I don't understand the rave reviews. The waiter was ready to offer me minestrone soup although I had advised him I was gluten free. He was unfamiliar with the gluten free options. I ordered the gf pasta with marinara. Honestly it tasted like something a college student would cook with a bottled sauce. If you want a basic gluten free pasta come here otherwise if you want a hearty meal go elsewhere.
12725 S.E. 93rd Ave., Clackamas, OR 97015
Our server was extremely knowledgable about GF items and even remembered no croutons with out me asking!
1610 East Shaw Ave., Fresno, CA 93710
GF options are delicious and although limited include their classics. You must double and triple check your order when placed and when served they do not have an effective labeling system for the GF dishes leaving the kitchen. One night needed 3 tries to get it right.
1635 Industrial Park Avenue, Redlands, CA 92374
They were extremely nice and accommodating :) I love it!
233 Park Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55415
I thought their chicken Alfredo was really good!! They put a little flag in my meal that said gluten-free too so they knew what one to give me!

Hydraulics 101
Like most problems in a shop, it starts small, but will your technicians be able to diagnose and fix it before it becomes a major problem?
A seal is leaking on a bucket truck's hydraulic pump--probably one of dozens of small jobs that could be done throughout the day. The question is, will your technicians handle the situation with some preventative maintenance, or will they let it slide until it ends up costing you much more?
Spotting something minor like this is what proactive PM scheduling is all about, and in this case, simply changing out the seal--keeping oil losses to a minimum--can save a fleet hundreds of dollars. Let it go, and soon the leaky seal could burn up from a lack of oil, forcing you to spend $600-plus on a new pump and more oil, not to mention associated costs of keeping a needed truck out of service.
Many fleets end up wasting precious dollars on their hydraulic systems because of a lack of proper education, says Joel Barnes, technical trainer manager for Heil Environmental.
"When you are charged with finding mechanics, the first person you look at is a highly qualified diesel mechanic, (but) that guy may not be well-schooled on the hydraulic side of it," he says. "Over the years, he's just seen what he's seen and done what he's done, he's never really been to any classes or schools on hydraulics. I find, everywhere I go, a guy who's a 20-year diesel technician, but knows nothing about hydraulics because he's never had to deal with it. And so it really gets left out a lot of the time."
And it all starts with the basics. As he travels across the country, training technicians on proper hydraulic maintenance, Barnes sees a startling lack of understanding about simple schematic diagrams.
"I'll go somewhere and the first thing I'll tell them is to get out a schematic and look at the entire system; that way you can see what's involved," he says. "Everywhere I go, they don't know how to read the schematic, and they sit there looking at it, (saying), 'I can look at that all day long and I don't know what these little symbols mean.' If you can't read a schematic, the first thing you ought to do is learn how, because that's the key."
Technicians who cannot understand schematics generally end up unnecessarily replacing parts, driving up shop costs.
"(They'll) replace the valve 20 times and not know why," Barnes says. "If they would look at the schematic, they would see it was another valve before that one that was causing the failure."
Effectively troubleshooting and maintaining hydraulic systems means identifying and correcting potential problem areas before they become major issues, says Bob Johnson, director of fleet relations for the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA).
"It's pretty darn basic, but at the same time it can be complex," he says. "Inspect all the components; look at the hoses and seals--any locations where hoses can be subject to abrasion or they cross over, support or rub on each other--look for signs of hose damage or wear, re-position them or put a protective wrap on them if necessary. Look for signs of leakage in any fittings, and if any fittings are leaking, check them--if they're loose, tighten them.
"Then make a note where you found loose fittings," Johnson says. "If you find the hoses binding, try to relieve that. Look at your cylinder seals, look for leakage there; make sure that the wipers are in good condition. Make sure all your fittings are tight; all your mounting pins and bolts are snug, because if anything works loose it can cause problems down the road. Make sure the rod wipers are in good condition, make sure your motor seals aren't leaking."
Joe Sullivan, fleet supervisor for Long Island, NY-based Norsic and Sons refuse haulers has worked with Heil Retriever Class-5 trucks for more than a decade. He says setting the correct hydraulic pressure and making sure the system is going through its proper auto cycle correctly are two important factors in properly maintaining hydraulics.
"You've got cylinders and you've got two valves," he says. "When there is an issue, check your pressure, and if your pressure's good, the next thing is going to be your cylinders. With the auto cycling, you always want to make sure that the blade is retracting like it's supposed to and not staying in a position for a while where the guy will walk away from a truck and it still wants to extend rather than retract, and (pressure) sits there on the release valve, building up and then everything gets hot. There are times where they've got to walk to the back of the house so they pack the load but it doesn't retract, and if the parts aren't adjusted on the auto cycle valve, that tends to get everything too hot and stuff gets burnt up.
"Make sure it's going through the auto cycle correctly and make sure the pressure is set at 2,400 (psi) off the relief valve," Sullivan says. "If you have a problem, that's the first place to go. (Also) change the oil and you don't let it get hot--make sure they're not driving around with the PTO on, and that the valves aren't staying extended, like the relief valve. That's caused my most problems within the hydraulics system. Then the o-rings are getting hot, the seals are getting hot, and that's when everything else fails, because you're dealing with very high temperatures."
Barnes says perhaps the biggest part of a hydraulics system that gets overlooked is the "breather."
"People never change that, and that can cause the whole system to fail by not replacing it," he says. "If it's not breathing properly, all the air stays in the tank, goes back into the cylinders and pumps and causes premature failure throughout the system for a three dollar filter element that should have been changed. Everywhere I go, it's the same thing. We tell everybody, 'Every time you change the hydraulic return filter, always change the breather.' And they look at us and go, 'I've had that truck four years and I've never changed one.' But you go back to the truck and watch the system run, and you see the oil reservoir just swell in and out because it's not been able to breathe in air.
I've worked with dump trucks, small fleets, and (technicians) all go, 'Breather... where's that at?'"
Another common problem Barnes sees in the field is lack of knowledge about the relief valve, which controls the main pressure--without it, pressure does not build.
"A guy cranks the truck up, nothing works; he can't build any pressure," he says. "So the first thing he does is put a brand-new $3,000-$4,000 pump on it, cranks it back up and it still doesn't work. Then he finds out the $300 relief valve was not working. I always tell them, 'Go (to the valve) first and then back to the pump, because without that relief valve, nothing works. As a mechanic, it's hard to go back to your boss and say, "Well, if I spent $300 I wouldn't have needed that.' Most of them go back and say, 'Well, we needed 'em both.' You know how it is. They don't want to say 'I made a mistake and that pump was good.' We see that a lot."
Barnes says Class-3 trucks where hydraulics are under the hood--running off a belt-driven pump--can also be problematic.
"You just raise the hood and there's a belt running across the hydraulic pump, and they don't (realize) if those belts are slipping, the entire system doesn't work properly," he says.
Often overlooked, the condition of hydraulic oil is critical to the life of the system, Johnson says.
"The first step in making sure the hydraulic system is going to last is to make sure the reservoir is properly sized for the application," he says. "If it's too small, oil is going to go through the system too fast and generate excessive heat."
A general rule is keeping oil in a mobile hydraulic system under 160 degrees and checking that temperature regularly.
"If you suspect you have a problem--undersized components or anything--wait until it's been working good and hard and then check the temperature of the oil," Johnson says. "If it's about 160, you probably want to add a cooler to it, (but) a cooler is just another maintenance item."
Johnson says he has run hydraulic systems for years without changing out the oil if it was still in good condition. He says the main thing is to keep the oil clean and full, as low levels create problems.
"It creates heating condition (and) if it gets too low, you can get cavitation, which is going to tear up and damage your pumps," Johnson says. "It's when the pumps are sucking air or it may be trying to pump more fluid through than it has available, and it creates a vacuum and air bubbles form in a pump, and that will destroy a pump almost instantly. Never let your pump run dry."
Barnes says most technicians are punctual about oil change intervals, but generally pay scant attention to hydraulic oil.
"They change the oil every 5,000 miles or 10,000 in some cases, and I tell them, 'You've got to look at hydraulic oil the same way,'" he says. "Most hydraulic oil has about 1,000 hours of use and will just break down and no longer be any good at all; all the additives disappear out of the oil. So we tell everybody at 1,000 hours, you've got to change hydraulic oil. And you can't go on 1,000 miles or 10,000 miles because the truck may run only a few miles, but the system may be on (longer). You have to put an hour meter on the hydraulic system and go by the meter, and change the filters every six months."
Sullivan has his technicians change out hydraulic oil and filters every three months, or about 250 hours.
"We don't do a lot of mileage, and none of these medium-duty trucks have clocks on them for hours, so usually three months is my key," he says. "We go from house-to-house, mostly in circles, so it's more time than anything else."
Technicians should always check oil for a burnt odor or changed color--an tell-tale sign of trouble.
"If it's overheated you can often tell by the odor or color, depending on the type of fluid you use," he says. "You want to check for moisture in the fluid--water will kill a system real quick. Again, it goes back to spec'ing and designing the vehicle--make sure you locate the hydraulic reservoir where it's not going to get water in it. If you suspect water, and it's cloudy, you can take a sample out in a glass jar and just set it on a shelf for a couple hours and the water will actually separate out."
If you want to test for water when the system is not running, test paste--a gray-colored paste that turns pink when it touches water--works, Johnson says.
"So you can put a little bit on a stick and push it to the bottom of the tank, (but) it's got to be after it's been sitting overnight," he says. "If there's any water in there the test paste will turn pink."
To better determine if hydraulic oil needs a change, it's a good idea to periodically take an oil sample for analysis to check the condition of additives, Johnson says.
"If it starts showing certain trace elements, you have a problem--copper, brass, zinc, steel, chrome--any wear metals that shouldn't be there," he says. "If you suspect you have a major problem, when you change the hydraulic filter, take the old filter and cut it apart and spread the paper out and sometimes you can actually see dirt or metal or things of that nature in the filter. Anytime you see that, you know you've got a problem."
Johnson says it is also important to make sure equipment is in the proper position when checking hydraulic oil.
"For instance a crane, (put) the boom at rest and the outriggers retracted," he says. "If you check it with the components in the wrong position, you may add too much oil, which can also cause problems."
Above all else, make sure your technicians respect the dangers of working on a hydraulic system--the higher the pressure of the system; the greater the potential for problems.
Johnson says most mobile hydraulic systems operate in the 1,800-2,300 psi range, but some high-performance systems operate at 3,000 psi or higher, and are more prone to seal failure and hose blowouts. He says any components that can create a pinch point or crush point should not be worked on unless proper safety provisions are installed.
And that 4x4 in the corner does not count.
"Typically, there should be a specifically designed component for a safety prop, which locks in place," he says. "If it's broken, or it's not working right, a guy just grabs the 4x4 and sticks it in there, and the weight of the bed hits it and the first thing that happens is the 4x4 kicks out and there you go."
Sadly, fatal accidents while working on hydraulic systems are not uncommon. A 22-year-old technician was killed recently when he was crushed by the lift bed of a refuse roll-off truck.
The model had no safety devices to hold the bed in a raised position, so an external safety jack stand was needed between the bed and frame of the truck when the bed was raised, but the technician--working alone--did not put the jack up. When he climbed between the bed and frame and disconnected the hose attached to the hydraulic ram that held up the container, it released the pressure in the system, causing the truck bed to fall on him.
Barnes, who devotes the first four hours of his week-long hydraulics classes on safety, says being crushed by a falling bed is just one of many potential dangers.
"I've seen guys have a small leak and they'll stick their hand behind the hose and tell someone to shift the valve to see where the pressure's coming from, and the oil coming out of there could penetrate your skin and shoot a hole through your hand," he says.
The hydraulics on medium-duty trucks might be one of the most dangerous, yet most-misunderstood systems on the vehicles. It is one area where some technicians seem to make repeated mistakes, misdiagnosing problems and unecessarily changing out parts, driving up both labor and parts costs.
The core problem is that many technicians do not receive proper training on hydraulics to begin with, and in other cases, years of working on the systems without incident can create a false sense of security, and when accidents happen, they can be sudden and fatal.
Make sure your technicians understand both the complexities and dangers of hydraulics systems, and your fleet will realize the benefits of fewer parts replaced and fewer hours lost to injuries, or worse.
Hydraulic System Safety Tips:
• Ensure lift beds of trucks are properly supported before performing maintenance or repairs.
• Ensure mechanics release pressure in hydraulic systems that are supporting loads or otherwise under pressure before beginning maintenance or repairs.
• Develop and implement a job hazard check sheet that all mechanics fill out and supervisors check and verify prior to staring each work assignment.
• Develop and implement a PM program which includes pre-shift inspections of the vehicle's operational systems and safety devices and the correction of identified defects prior to placing vehicle in service.
• Know the dump bed system owner's manual, including proper inspection and maintenance of the system and the safe work practices concerning system inspection and maintenance.

Local Culture
Hey Willie,
Tell us more about local culture. What U2 related curiousities do you see in one town/country that you don't in another.
On another note maybe presale tickets could be for either show, not just the first one. I presume the band can fairly accurately predict where they will sell out on put on a 2nd night. I bet the dead first show is related to a lot of older fans and a lot of free tickets to people like Blackberry.
24 September, 2009
Willie Rocks
I agree with Willie too. I was in section 539 for night one, and GA for night two. Not many people were rocking in my section, but my friend and I made sure we did! I felt bad standing and dancing...for a moment...then realized that I'm waching my fave band for the first time in 4 years and hell yeah, I'm going to stand and cheer!
23 September, 2009
My First U2 Show
Hi Willie - love your diary!
I've been a fan for 25 years, but Toronto night 2 was my first U2 concert ever - and what a ride! Fabulous set list, great energy, the sound was a-may-zing -- didn't expect to actually *hear* the between song chat. We had top-notch seats and flew in from the east coast of Canada. It was a perfect night and has likely spoiled me for all the future U2 shows I will see (rumour has it Montreal for leg 3 next year ... ???)
23 September, 2009
i agree
Hey Willie i was rocking wednesday nite in Toronto but many werent, i have a feeling that maybe most of the six thousand tickets i heard that were given to employees of Research in Motion might have something to do with it. I think sometimes people who get free tickets just go to the concert because its free and its U2. Im a big fan i paid my money and i would gladly do it again. Great show , great stage, but not complaining mind you i think the stage takes away from the band. I feel that U2 excels in a smaller venue, when they are close to their fans, intimate you know. I hope the next tour returns to just that, more shows smaller venue and possibly a greatest hits tour. Willie i hope you read this, and i want to thank you and the rest of the staff for giving us many nights to remember, without all of you its not possible.
Canada Loves U2 Please Come Back
23 September, 2009
Willie is right....
I agree with Willie that the crowd wasn't as lively during the first Toronto show, but I blame on the setlist, which never built sustained exhilaration. As soon as there was heart-pounding momentum, it was squandered. The setlist for the second Toronto show, with the inclusion of Mysterious Ways and New Year's Day, improved the pacing.
23 September, 2009
If I can Breathe I'm alive
Must agree with the previous comments. Most in my section stood and cheered from the begining of the major tom countdown right through to the end, and I was in the very TOP row of the "nosebleeds". It certainly was NOT THE CROWD that was flat for the 1st show
23 September, 2009
We waited...
Yeah Willie, you're absolutly right !
We came from france in T.O like canadians called their town.
A fabulous town..a great mind !
You are right by saying that the first concert was soft and the second of a beautiful fervour!
We met stuart, flore and AJ before the concert, what a team !
in the afternoon, we waited 2 hours in front of the hazelton hotel unsuccessfully, would be we madmen?
this hotel was, we shall never know it! Not very important!
Lived a big concert, with Lucas's rise on stage...
Nice town, nice tour, nice crew, nice yonge street...
Hope to see you next...when will be next? ;-)
23 September, 2009
Willie, modest as ever...
How can you say relatively little effort? It's a privilege for us all to come together and rejoice in the fruits of past and present labours. I know we were jiggered the day after with no voices and aching shoulders but totally elevated. We love your truly phenomenal efforts!
23 September, 2009
Stage size
Hey Willie, I always enjoy reading your daily happenings. I agree completely on what you wrote about the size of the stage. I watched 2 shows relatively close to the stage (in the expensive seats - mind you..); indeed it is overwhelming but the second time I was a bit disappointed; you're close; but not front row. The third show (Wembley on the 15th) I had bought the cheapest seats all the way up; I was utterly surprised and happy to notice the show was also a great pleasure to see and hear (very important) from above. Congrats on the design! Thomas
22 September, 2009
Good show, but...
...I'd have to disagree that the first night in Toronto was dead. It was certainly the most energy-filled atmosphere I've ever been in.
22 September, 2009
Refuting being "dead"
The audience was "dead" on the Wednesday night at Rogers you say? Really? I was there, along with my husband and son. As far as I recall I was very much alive (still am last time I checked) and so were the vast majority of the 60,000+ others attending that first evening. We did an entire walkabout of the outside of the Centre both before and after the show and to my knowledge there were no hearses lined up either time.
Our "Fan" seats were in the 'nosebleeds'. No complaints whatsoever. Some pretty fair partying was happening there then, as well as the rest of the building...nice green going around, wobbly pops aplenty, a POWERFUL choir when we sang along with the band, or when we all sang on our own (Stand by Me), roaring applause and earsplitting whistles...although I must admit we were the only ones in our entire area that I could see that wore our Aung San Suu Kyi masks, but that was okay - we stood out quite well I thought (especially when I stood up and did a slow 360 of my own, both arms raised doing peace signs...some of the expressions and reactions - very cool!)
Nothing "dead" about that night in my humble opinion. Perhaps you were mistakenly reporting from the Leafs home game that was taking place down the street???

The product arrived and once I assembled it, it seemed very flimsy for the amount of money paid. The interior grill just rests on four screws and is not attached to the outer frame. You can not put any heavy pots on or near either end or it will bend, so everything gets cluttered in the middle of the rack. The color was good and matched my kitchen hardware well.
I would love to review this product but I never received it. Although told that it had shipped, it was never delivered. After calls to UPS and Overstock I discovered that the emails telling me that it had shipped and giving me a tracking number were grossly exaggerated. Apparently the vendor did not have enough pot racks to fill the orders. So asking me to review this product is a little silly.
Easy to install and feels sturdy and solid. We put 12 pots and pans on the hooks and the lids on top of the rack. Great, clean design and doesn't hang too low over our island.
This was a great product is very strong in construction. I would even us it for a Restraunt Enviroment
I am very pleased with the products construction, color and size. It goes perfectly over my island in my kitchen.

Lohse on hill as Brewers aim to keep rolling
Coming off complete game, Crew's starter to oppose Cubs' Arrieta
The Brewers will look to complete a four-game sweep of the Cubs on Thursday at Miller Park.
Chicago and Milwaukee are the only teams in the National League Central that are below .500, and each franchise is using the final weeks of the regular season for evaluation.
Brewers brass met Wednesday to discuss the state of the franchise. Milwaukee's biggest issue this season has been injuries. First baseman Corey Hart, second baseman Rickie Weeks, third baseman Taylor Green and first baseman Mat Gamel each had season-ending surgery.
Hart and Ryan Braun, who accepted a season-ending suspension from MLB on July 22, dropped by the ballpark Wednesday to meet with their teammates. It reminded manager Ron Roenicke what his team had been missing this season.
"Not only are they really great players, but I really like them," Roenicke said. "They bring a lot to our team. They bring that atmosphere that when you go out there you know you have these two big horses to help. We miss those guys, both [on and off the field]."
Still, the Brewers have benefited from adding Kyle Lohse in the offseason. Lohse, who will start Thursday, is 10-9 with a 3.46 ERA in his first year with Milwaukee. The right-hander tossed a complete game his last time out, retiring 24 of the final 25 batters he faced. Lohse is 1-1 with a 5.00 ERA in three starts against the Cubs this year.
While the Brewers have won four straight games, the Cubs have lost five in a row and remain at the bottom of the Central.
Jake Arrieta will try to end Chicago's losing skid when he takes the mound Thursday. Arrieta is 2-2 with a 4.42 ERA in seven starts with the Cubs since being acquired in a trade with the Orioles in July.
Chicago brass is evaluating manager Dale Sveum and his players. The Cubs lost 101 games in Sveum's first season as manager, and have 89 losses this season with 10 games remaining.
Cubs: Schierholtz posting career numbers
Outfielder Nate Schierholtz is playing more this year than any season in his career, and he has set career highs with 431 at-bats, 109 hits, 30 doubles, 20 home runs and 65 RBIs.
"It's really the first time I've played consistently, especially against righties," Schierholtz said. "For me, they should be career highs, and they should be the best I've done. I feel like I can do a lot better than I've done so far, especially the last couple months. Hopefully, moving on, I can stay healthy for a whole year."
• Chicago is 9-for-57 (.158) with runners in scoring position during their road trip. The Cubs' .218 average with runners in scoring position this season is the lowest in the Majors.
Brewers: Segura considered day to day
Shortstop Jean Segura was removed from Wednesday's game after scoring a run in the first inning, the result of a strained right hamstring. The Brewers said the All-Star was day to day.
Segura, 23, limped to the dugout after scoring from second on a single by Aramis Ramirez. He was replaced in the field by Jeff Bianchi.
In 145 games this season, Segura is hitting .296 with 12 home runs and 74 runs scored.
Worth noting
• The Cubs are 40-43 against teams outside their division this year but are 23-46 (.333) against the NL Central, which is the lowest winning percentage by any team against its own division in the Majors.

I think I'm ready to become a parent! As I prepare for pregnancy, what kind of health precautions should I take? - Jane
You can do many things to keep yourself healthy and increase the chances of having a safe and healthy pregnancy. It's important to not smoke, drink alcohol, use recreational drugs, or be around secondhand smoke, which could jeopardize your health and your chances of having a healthy pregnancy.
Ask your doctor about other precautions. He or she may recommend that you start taking folic acid, which has been shown to reduce the risk of birth defects, such as spina bifida. Your doctor may also want to screen you for certain health conditions that may affect your pregnancy, such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), obesity, and genetic disorders. The doctor may run blood tests to check for immunity to infections such as rubella and chickenpox, and to check for things like anemia.
And ask if you need to stop or change any prescription or over-the-counter medications, as well as herbal supplements, since some can affect a developing fetus.
Start cutting down on your caffeine intake, and eat a balanced healthy diet. Make sure that your immunizations are up to date, and that you've gotten the flu shot. Also see the dentist to make sure that your teeth and gums are in good condition since recent studies have shown that gum disease during pregnancy can affect your baby.

Ice climber dies on Mount Washington
No one witnessed the accident. His body was discovered by a hiker, an emergency room physician, around 3 p.m., more than 1,000 feet below the gully. The hiker checked for vital signs, WMNF spokesperson Tiffany Benna reported, but found none.
The body was carried out by four U.S. Forest Service snow rangers, a mountain Rescue Service member, and the caretakers of the Harvard Cabin and Hermit Lake shelters. The recovery effort concluded at 6 p.m.
"Our sympathies go out to the family and friends of Mr. Watts," Lead Snow Ranger Chris Joosen said.
The Forest Service issued a safety reminder with the report of the young man's death.
"The White Mountain National Forest operates the Mount Washington Avalanche Center to provide daily safety information and search and rescue services to the public. Although beautiful, the mountains contain many hazards for visitors to be aware of which are reported on www.mountwashingtonavalanchecenter.org by the Forest Service. Avalanches, icefall, weather, undermined snow, and crevasses can all become objective mountain hazards that create a level of risk. Knowing where they are and when they may be worse can help visitors make better decisions for their own safety."

When you're living in Worcester apartments for rent, you're right in the heart of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. With a perfect blend of small-town living and big-city amenities, Worcester is a great place to call home. Here, renters will be in a prime location to travel all across the East Coast, as major cities like Boston, Springfield, Mass., and Providence, R.I., are within an hour's drive. The diverse architecture, beautiful green spaces and abundance of culture combine to make Worcester a vibrant and livable mid-sized city. According to AreaVibes, the city received a score of 71 for its local amenities, high income per capita, stable housing market and high graduation rates.
While looking for apartments in Worcester, you may notice a unique sense of pride in the community that stems back to the city's history that proves it's a very progressive city. Not only was Worcester the first to host a national Women's Rights Convention in 1850, it was the site of the first liquid fuel rocket and the first U.S. radio station, WORC, to play the Beatles!
Depending on your personality, you may want to consider Worcester apartments for rent in a different area of the city. The East Side is the heart of cultural diversity and vibrancy. This area is home to great dining options, annual festivals, the city's largest park, Green Hill Park and Broad Meadow Brook, a 500-acre Audubon Sanctuary. South Worcester is a great place for young professionals, as the dense urban environment boasts many renovated warehouses turned into artist lofts. Families may want to look at West Side, which is similar to a suburban community.
The median rental rate for Worcester apartments for rent is 13 percent lower than the rest of the state. Renters will save some money here, while the overall cost of living is about 1 percent more expensive than the state's average. One of the greatest things about Worcester is its unique architecture that allows renters to find the perfect abode with a bit of historic charm. More than 40 percent of homes in Worcester were constructed prior to 1939, and about 54 percent of homes are renter-occupied.
If you're hoping to save a bit on transportation, you're in luck! Worcester is somewhat walkable, and the closer you are to the city center, the more amenities are within walking distance. However, if you're going to need to travel to work, an average gallon of gas is on par with the rest of the state and the average commute time is 17 percent shorter than Massachusetts.
With more than a dozen colleges and 30,000 students in the city, it's no surprise that apartments for rent in Worcester are often occupied by young individuals. Worcester State University, Clark University, College of the Holy Cross, Quinsigamond Community College and Becker College are just a few of the local postsecondary institutes.
If you're making a move to Worcester apartments, you'll also have access to a prosperous economy, as the city is a leader in manufacturing, information technology, biotechnology, health care and medical research. Some of the top employers include Affiliated Podiatrists, BNY Mellon Wealth Management, College of the Holy Cross, Commerce Insurance Co, MAPFRE USA Corp. and Saint-Gobain Abrasives.

text: Well, from my usage experience KDE4 does have a smaller memory footprint. How much smaller I think it depends. When I was still on KDE3.x my memory usage at any given time would be in the 800MB-1.5GB range (more or less, can't remember the exact figures); that was with KDE3.x graphical effects and all that jazz. With KDE4.x and the same hardware I'm seeing smaller numbers, but I must say that they seem to change depending on the driver I use; with radeon I see 300MB-800MB, with fglrx I see 800MB-1.2GB, and with fglrx using direct2d 400MB-900MB (odd no?). All those numbers are from 64bit systems and desktop composition on.

Made a tray of white pizza w/ broccoli & garlic last evening. I pattern my pizza after Victory Pig (one of the originators of the style in that area), same style as Tommy's. A 67% hydration dough, some garlic oil, rough chopped broccoli (florets only) and my usual cheese blend, baked in blue steel pans with lots of peanut oil. Very tasty!steel_baker
I've been lurking on this for the past few months, and would someone, anyone please share the secret cheese blend? lol I hate to resurrect an old post, but if people realized what Pizza L'Oven tasted like, they'd understand. I grew up a few blocks from their Carey Avenue location, and seeing this made me homesick. I know what I'm making for dinner tonight. :-)Great thread.

Revision as of 11:11, 17 June 2014
What's in the neighborhood around 2169 Mission?
Contents |
Noisebridge is of course located in the birthplace of the Mission burrito, with an abundance of Mexican places in the area, but there are many different restaurants within walking distance of the space.
Taqueria Cancún
YUMMY burritos and stuff. People love it. CASH ONLY! They have an ATM, but who really uses those ripoff ATMs... 2288 Mission St
The Sycamore
Really nice gastropub with yummy sliders (mini-burgers), roast beef sandwiches and pork belly donuts. Does takeout!
- 2140 Mission St. (between 17th & 18th)
- Open daily from 11:30 a.m. - midnight
- Kitchen hours: 11:30 a.m. - 10 p.m. Mon-Thu, 11:30-midnight Fri-Sat
- Happy Hour: 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. - dollar off drafts
- Free wifi ("Sycamore Public", no encryption)
- Yelp
A tiny place, maybe six or eight seats at the counter, that's it. Almost as many Burmese grandmothers working behind the counter. Some of the food is great. Rubin's favorite: #10, Mango Chicken, $5.25 (and maybe a coconut for $2.50).
- 3406 18th St. (between Mission St. & San Carlos St.) Map
- (415) 553-8911
- Mon-Thu 10:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.
- Fri-Sat 10:30 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.
- Menu
- Yelp!
On South Van Ness and 18th, good burgers and fries. Since 1955.
Organic Japanese, is across the street on Mission street. Vegan friendly.
Weird Fish
A few doors south of Noisebridge, at 2193 Mission. Quite likely named after a Radiohead song as its clientele are almost uniformly Radiohead fans. Vegan friendly.
El Castillito
Another taquería, excellent Mission-style burritos (order the vegetarian or a "Super"). Across the street, just past 17th.
- 2092 Mission St.
Grand Mission Donuts & Bakery(美新餅家)
I know this isn't a restaurant, not really, although it does have tables and chairs... but it is doughnuts, and you can't not have doughnuts! They're not even really great doughnuts, but mediocre doughnuts are still doughnuts, and it's less than half a block away. Surprisingly decent apple fritter, however, and at a buck twenty-five one of the cheapest you'll ever find. Also a modest selection of Chinese pastries.
- 2195 Mission St., next door to Weird Fish
Their operating hours are discernable to no man or beast.
Vegan food (that's really good for everyone!)
Incredibly good Vegan food nearby (that really is good for everyone).
Mi Ranchito
Mi Ranchito Produce & Carnicería is located directly below Noisebridge, or, rather, Noisebridge is located directly above it. It is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. 7 days a week.
As its name indicates, in addition to a reasonable selection of produce and albarrotes, there is a butcher counter in the back. For a cheap snack you can get pan dulce, 3 for a buck - Mexican pastries, cookies, rolls and småkaker. They also, among their produce and Hispanic groceries, have a decent supply of typical snack/junk food, as well as an impressive selection of Latin American soda pop, including the world's best apple soda, Pepsi's entry into the market, Manzanita Sol, and now Toronja ("Grapefruit") Sol, a competitor to another soft drink popular in Mexico, Squirt.
Mission Grocery
There's a liquor store across the street, just past Sycamore, at 2128-2130 Mission. I'm pretty sure they're open 24 hours; if not they're open later than pretty much everyone else. They accept credit cards but charge a dollar per transaction, even though that contravenes the Merchant Agreement every vendor must sign with Visa and MasterCard. Despite the sign out front don't expect to find any actual groceries here. Lots of heavily processed junk food and delicious cheap alcohol. A dangerous place to find myself when I've got the munchies.
Rainbow Grocery
Rainbow is is a co-op grocery store run on many of the same principles as Noisebridge. It's, like, three blocks down and a couple blocks over. They have lots of sustainable foodie type stuff, bulk food, health supplements, natural body care products, etc.
- 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.
- 1745 Folsom St.
Drug stores
There's a Walgreens right next to 16th & Mission BART, which is nice because you can get cash back from ATM purchases without having to pay a fee.
A few doors to the north of Noisebridge, at 2141 Mission:
Valhalla Books
- 2nd floor, Ste. 202
- "Mostly hardbound fiction," sf + fantasy section, but also some interesting non-, a few cool older books about computing (i.e. not manuals), philosophy, history etc.

Jeremy Eaton's Jumbles Keep Coming | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under Jeremy Eaton, Gilbert Hernandez, EC Segar, art, arbitrary cuteness | 24 Jan 2013 4:30 PM |
Fantagraphics' veteran Jeremy Eaton continues to draw his mashup characters or Jumbles since his show last fall in Seattle. Luba and Olive Oyl is one of our favorites, good thing that iconic Luba hammer exists for the sake of Olive Oyl's shoes (created by Gilbert Hernandez and E.C. Segar respectively). Jeremy's posted more than a few of his 'jumbles' online so check it out today! And try to name all the characters jumbled together below.

Title | Correspondence from Mary Guthrie Latta to Samuel R. Latta III, August 26, 1861 |
Transcript | [Page 1] "Dyersburg Tenn. Aug 26 1861. My dear husband -. I wrote you by Mr. Nash, but as he did not go as far as New Madrid, I do not know whether you received my letter or not – if you did not, you missed a rich treat. There was one from myself, & enclosed was one from John to Mother. Cousin Beck also wrote the same time. I have not received your last, by Mr. Chitwood. & of course I am in a perfect fever about it. Mr. C. gave it to Mr. Nash to bring home. & report says he got tight & left his saddle-bag on the road. It has been a long dull Sunday, & have thought so much of you today, that I concluded to try & relieve my thoughts by writing to you. I wonder where you are & what you are doing this evening. I would" [Page 2] "give much to know. We are beginning to feel the terrible realities of war in earnest now. Those that are dearest to us on earth are gone we know not where, & no probability of hearing from them soon- I suppose this will be my last opportunity of writing, & though I have nothing at all to write, I could not let it pass without letting you know that your darling little Johnnie has gotten almost well, & Kate as well & bad as usual. The rest of us are all well, except Vickie – she does not improve any - & I very much fear never will. She will be a great charge on my hands, for she is not as capable of taking care of herself as Johnny is. But she is my sister, & I will try to do my best by her. Though it is a sad charge. Mother is away today – spending the day with Mrs. Jakes - other [?] has another daughter - & Mother's services as usual were called into requisition. She calls it Lucy Ellen. Through compliment to Mother." [Page 3] "Cousin Beck seems to be enjoying herself finely. Dr. Hibbitt called this evening & from the way their tongues are running they have plenty to talk about. I am glad he called. With the exception of Mr. Hanks she has had no other visitor since she came. & I am afraid her visit this summer has not been pleasant enough to induce her to come back. Sunday night – steals on me almost unawares & cast a shadow on my heart as well as on the earth. The heavy pattering of the rain, causes me to think of you poor soldiers, who are probably exposed to it tonight, with no dry place to lay your heads. & I feel as if I would so willingly exchange places with you if I only could. But alas, & alas, I am only a woman, & must enjoy the comforts, with which your hand has so fairly provided, and cannot share with you the privations & hardships you endure. Mrs. Pierce called as she promised you yesterday evening. She gave a full" [Page 4] "description of her visit. She seemed to enjoy it very much although she did have a sick husband to nurse. I was gratified to hear her report of you all being in good spirits it was one of my greatest troubles when I was there. I fancied you all looked very gloomy. Perhaps it was only because I felt so myself. How do you like your experience in marching so far? Didn't you get terribly tired. I feel so spoiled when I see this great fat horse of yours standing around doing nothing & you tramping on foot through mud & water with those dear old long legs aching in every bone. I have been thinking seriously about sending him to you, but the uncertainty of you getting him & not knowing whether you would like it. I will wait for orders from head quarters before I venture. Cousin Beck sends his love, & says she will not bore you with a letter this time. I suppose she thinks mine will be as much as you can get through with. But I guess she is mistaken for I know my letters are interesting. If there is not much sense in them, because they are from home. I will still hope to hear from you frequently though from all accounts, it seems I have but a slender foundation to build a hope upon. With many wishes for your safety, & your early return home, I must bid you good night. & may God forever bless you my dear husband, Ever yours, Mary" |
