Review: State Bird Provisions [San Francisco]
- 5 Comments
- Follow
Not really sure this place lived up to some of the hype it's getting. I found most of the offerings bland, and one-note. Here's what we had.
Oysters on the halfshell: These were fresh and served at the right temperature but on the small side. Not bad and a nice way to start.
Fluke tartar with quinoa with bonito rosemary: The most successful dish of the night for me. Everything was in balance. Crunchy, flavorful and harmonious.
Potato chips with steelhead caviar: Also yummy.
Avocado, guancale and pomelo: Eh. This was served cold which I suppose makes sense given the avocado but the guancale was sliced paper thin and lost its wonderfully chewy, fatty texture.
And served cold it left an unpleasant fatty sheen on my tongue. I think prosciutto would have worked better here.
Duck neck dumplings in Sauerjus: Just ok. The duck was underseasoned and was almost indistinguishable from the pastry texture-wise. Tasted clumpy and bland. The sauerjus didn't really wake things up.
Kimchi pork belly with tofu and clams: Again, unsuccessful. The kimchi broth wasn't spicy enough, the clams seemed thrown on like an afterthought. The tofu was bland and didn't pick up any of the kimchi sauce. The pork belly was right on but the dish didn't come together at all.
Sourdough, Sauerkraut, Pecorino and Riccota pancakes: Missed the mark for me. These were silver-dollar size and golden brown but had a weird sour, creamy profile. Needed something to brighten them up.
CA state bird with provisions: Not bad. Fried quail over braised onions with a yuzu-like sauce. My issue was that my piece of quail was sitting right on top of the sauce so the bottom of my quail became mushy. Better to serve this sauce on the side so it doesn't get the crispy bird soggy. This dish really summed up the experience, a bunch of dishes with promise that just miss.
Beef cheek salad with radishes and bone marrow: Ok. The cheeks were perfectly cooked, the radishes were very fresh but the marrow was served as a sauce with an unappealing milky appearance and thin texture. Didn't add a thing to the dish.
Desserts were pretty good with a fresh-baked poppyseed profiterole (that really wasn't a profiterole), more like a light muffin paired with curd and berries and a chocolate sesame crunch with a cocoa and clementine jam.
The atmosphere was not so good. It's a small space and got extremely loud when full. There were also a pair of toddlers running around which added to the noise. We had high hopes but our experience was no better than average and we will not be in any hurry to return. To us many of the dishes felt like bunch of good ingredients looking for a common theme. The dim-sum concept is cool and we really wanted to like this place but it seemed like the chef was relying on his list of ingredients and the novelty of non-Asian dim sum to drown out what were, for the most part, uninspired combinations.
i thought i'd seen replies to this post before....
has anyone else been since then? I'm going tomorrow night....
ETA: oh, maybe this is the one i read: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/849831
oh and this one. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/863400
now i'm worried about not getting enough to eat....
re: mariacarmen
maybe try a few things at State Bird Provisions, & then go to Prime Dip - it's a casual, fast-food kinda place that make good prime rib sandwich w/ jus for about $8. SF Japantown is up the street - tons of eats there.

re: hhc
alas, i'm going with a full-on vegetarian, so that's probably not in the cards... i think we'll be fine.
re: mariacarmen
ok, what about Dosa on Fillmore, 1700 Fillmore St, SF. I haven't been yet, but probably has vegetarian food.
re: hhc
thanks, i've been to the other Dosa, it's by my house, and love it.
thanks for the suggestions, but i'm not really going to go looking for a second dinner, i'm just going to try to enjoy SBP as much as possible!0

Fast numerical methods for the design of layered photonic structures with rough interfaces |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 6, pp. 5489-5499 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1714 KB)
A multilayer approach (MA) and modified boundary conditions (MBC) are proposed as fast and efficient numerical methods for the design of 1D photonic structures with rough interfaces. These methods are applicable for the structures, composed of materials with an arbitrary permittivity tensor. MA and MBC are numerically validated on different types of interface roughness and permittivities of the constituent materials. The proposed methods can be combined with the 4x4 scattering matrix method as a field solver and an evolutionary strategy as an optimizer. The resulted optimization procedure is fast, accurate, numerically stable and can be used to design structures for various applications.

Adirondack Guide Boat on Piseco Lake
Category: Places
Photo and caption by Katherine Spergl
This image was taken just after sunrise on Piseco Lake in the Adironacks. It was overcast and as the fog was rising, a quiet, magical feel resonated at the lake. The guide boat took me back to the early 19th century.
Location: Piseco Lake, NY

"A quick, easy, and very delicious recipe that can be eaten for cold cereal, topping on yogurt or even for a snack. Because it does a better job that honey, I use part maltose syrup (purchased at Asian markets) to help bind the ingredients together instead of using all honey. Virgin coconut oil has many healthy properties and enhances the taste of the granola, but if that cannot be found you can substitute it with any other oil. Enjoy!"

An American in Italy breathes fresh air into fabrics
December 7, 2000
-- Home Textiles Today,NEW YORK - It wound up somewhat differently from the way most designers bring their fabric designs to market.
But that's typical of the way Pamela Ferrari, a fine arts painter in Florence, Italy, works. In her case, the manufactured product for home textiles came together before the decorative fabrics - and that may not be all bad. Both she and Concord Home, which is making and marketing her Giro del Mondo Collection (Around the World), insisted that everything be just right, from the fabric printing to the marketing program.
"Pamela has a very distinct, unique look in design and color palette," said Roger Burnim, vp, Concord Home. "She gives us another dimension."
And unlike so many American fabric companies that hide their designers as anonymous persons, Concord Home is fully promoting the Pamela Ferrari involvement, Burnim said.
The collection, with more than 50 skus and nine patterns, will be launched in January at Showtime in High Point, NC, and at Heimtextil in Frankfurt, Germany.
"Pamela has a European transitional look that appeals to all distribution channels and all age groups. And she adds a dimension that Concord Home is looking to develop beyond our own signature looks," said Burnim.

The recent death of The Band's Levon Helm brought back fond memories of watching The Last Waltz. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the film documents The Band's final show in 1976 at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom and is considered one of the best concert films ever produced.
Listening recently to his 2007 Fresh Air interview, I learned that Helm wasn't very keen on having a big farewell but went along with it. The concert featured all the major players in the folk, country, and rock scenes of the time including Clapton, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Van Morrison (in a very memorable bedazzled maroon leisure suit giving a passionate rendition of Caravan complete with high kicks).
Many musicians write lyrics, while some write pure poetry.

Terrific quality pieces and a great story. There are Bohemian specialists who regularly visit this site and they will probably be able to name the factory and possibly the decorator. To increase visibility, attaching the pictures directly would make it easier for more people to easily see them and make comments. They look extremely high quality pieces to me,Robert (bOBA)

Visitors to Sydney from North America should use the car rental in Sydney service.

"Different, but Still Lovely"
Yes. Although it is a complete 180 from the first book in the series, I still feel in love with the story, the prose, and the characters.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone, because it is its predecessor.
I really can't answer this. There were so many scenes that I loved that were painted beautifully by Laini Taylor
Yes, I did. I could not stop listening to it--I brought my phone with me everywhere until I was finished. I laughed and cried. And, after I finished listening to it, I couldn't stop smiling dumbly at nothing for a few minutes.
Like others, I was worried this would turn into another fantasy love book completely centered and concentrated on Karou and Akiva's relationship. But, I loved the world and Taylor's writing, so I picked this one up to listen. Although I expect there are many who would be disappointed, their relationship isn't the forefront of this book--the war between seraphs and chimaera is. And, I loved that. This book is much darker and has much more violent themes in the book. The first book was whimsical, light, and fun, with a hint of the dark side of things under the surface. In the second book, that dark side comes through at full throttle. We see more character development of our old, loved characters without them losing themselves completely from the first book, and we meet new characters. I loved it, and I would recommend it to anyone. I can't wait for the third!

Floral flavour to lifestyle
Life and a living at this Brixton property
Relevant offers
Life on their Richmond Rd property has been blooming good for Graham and Lynne
For more than 20 years, they have been growing flowers on the 2.6ha lifestyle
property just out of New Plymouth for local, national and international markets. Only
this week, shipments have been sent off to Tahiti and Japan.
They've also raised a family here, but with two sons now off to university and
beyond, they have decided it is time for a change and their present lifestyle is up for
Graham and Lynne's venture here started in 1991, when they bought the property
from neighbour Ted Roberts, who established the original flower-growing operation.
Funnily enough, Ted is involved in marketing the present property sale process as a
consultant with real estate firm Bayleys.
The 1991 purchase was a natural extension of Graham's horticultural and landscaping
skills, honed during his time as a landscape designer with the New Plymouth District
Plastic-clad growing 'houses' were part of the purchase, but there was no residence
on the land that Ted had subdivided. So Graham and Lynne built a board-and-batten
cottage-style home sitting on the ridgeline above the sheltered valley where the
flowers were grown and packed.
"With my background in landscaping, I could best plan where to put the house in
terms of the use of the land," Graham says. The site had no advantage for the flower
business, but was convenient to road access and offered a stunning view across the
valley to the mountain and ranges.
"The view of the mountain doesn't get much better than this." We admire it from a set
of French doors that open on to a west-facing deck that embraces the view in its full
That initial 113sqm home grew as well as the flowers. In later years, the couple added
larger living areas to the cottage increasing the footprint to more than 160sqm.
You don't realise that on first approach; the home looks to be a modestly sized
cottage nestled into its garden setting. "It's a Tardis," Lynne quips, as I point out its
deceptive size.
The new living areas feature raked ceilings and higher windows giving an extra sense
of space again. A second deck on the sunny north face is accessed from another set of
French doors, giving the family plenty of indoor-outdoor living options.
Graham planned the placement of trees and shrubs around the house to provide
dappled shade in the hotter months, with leaf drop opening up the house to the sun in
winter. It's a pleasing peaceful effect on the balmy morning of our visit here.
Those plantings have created a green embrace for the house which now looks well
settled into its environment. It looks as though it could have been here for decades
longer than it has. That impression is helped partly by Graham's decision not to stain
the batten details of the exterior, letting them grey naturally with sun and weather.
Inside again, up the hallway, there are three double bedrooms and an office. It's an
extra wide hallway to accommodate the wheelchair needed by one of their sons and
the bathroom is a fully featured paraplegic design as well with sliding doors off the
hallway to ease its use.
The real focus of this property, however, is below the house, masked by the trees
and plantings that have matured over the past couple of decades. A short stroll takes
us down the tree-lined drive to the tunnelhouses, covered growing areas and flower-
packing facilities.
Along the way, Graham points out elements of the operation - the plentiful plantings
of magnolia that are part of the landscape as well as growing in neat rows further into
the property. The more than 300 specimens of magnolia are there, not so much for
their own blooms, as their glossy green foliage.
"Every bunch of flowers needs foliage," Graham explains, and he and Lynne provide
a variety of soft and striking choices for floral designers. As well as the magnolia,
there are more delicate branchings of silver birch from small saplings that Graham
points out growing around the property, the spear-like leaves of flax, and the softer
forms of aralia.
When Graham and Lynne first bought this property, flower crops incuded gypsophila,
alstroemeria, kangaroo's paw, nerines and statice. The gypsophila, popular as it once
was, has been phased out, Lynne says. "There's not even a plant on the property
Today, a tour through the crop areas will reveal a wealth of richly coloured and
textured blooms, from hydrangeas and gloriosa to anemones and the still-popular
kangaroo's paw.
The rows of bold blue hydrangeas are planted in the ground, but nearby are rows of
bagged hydrangeas with vivid pink blooms. The acidity of the growing medium and
thus the depth of pink colour is better controlled in bags, Graham explains.
Just one of those perfect pink globular blooms will return the couple $4, he adds. And
it doesn't take long for a good income to build up. The pink colours are particularly
appealing to the Asian markets, he says.
As well as packing facility, there is a chiller for keeping cut flowers in good
condition, and a fumigation chamber for export blooms.
Graham says he and Lynne have enjoyed their lifestyle here. "But we are not getting
any younger. The number of growers is reducing and the market for flowers is
growing ... we've just seen the strongest Valentines Day market for several years. So
the opportunity is there for a young person to get into it ... to tick it over as it is or
build it up."
The property and its flower-growing operation is being sold as a going concern and
Graham says he is happy to plan a settling in period with new owners, helping them
become familiar with the business and its markets.
With his earlier background in the same business, Ted Roberts recognises that
potential for new owners to come into this property, get stuck into the business and
reap the real returns possible while enjoying living in this peaceful setting.
"I wouldn't like to pick the last time an opportunity like this came up for sale in the
region," Ted says.
WHERE: 88 Richmond Rd, Brixton, New Plymouth.
HOW BIG: 2.6567ha in land; approximately240sqm in home.
HOW MUCH: $752,000 for the complete property, including all equipment and
plantings of the flower growing operation.
WHAT YOU GET: Comfortable, spacious cottage-style home on a lifestyle setting
that includes a busy flower growing and exporting operation in the valley below.

The Fall of the House of Usher
Analysis: Writing Style
Rhythmic, Ornate
Poe's prose is known for being a tad over-the-top, a bit melodramatically macabre. And indeed, "Usher" bears the marks of this authorial stamp. But before you condemn it for its theatricality, take a moment to admire its nearly-poetic rhetoric. Check out "singularly dreary tract of country" in the first sentence. Read it out loud and notice the weight and length of the "y"'s in the first two words contrasted with the hard, cutting "c"'s of the second two. Or jump to the last sentence and read "the DEEP and DARK tarn at my feet closed SULLENLY and SILENTLY over the fragments of the 'House of Usher.'" And there's a cartload of rhetoric gems to be found in between.

Complete drywall removal - old house
I purchased a home built in 1948. I want to gut the house and remove all the old plaster/drywall. I've done some drywall before. The one thing that really slows me down is the proper techniqe to apply and sand the joint compound. What brand of joint compound is better for a rookie to use. Keep in mind that I shop at lowes. Also, it the premix is the way to go, should I mix it with a little water?
Any help would be great... Thanks, Dave |
There is one brand that comes out of the bucket smooth and easy to work (no water needed). I believe it is PROFORM light weight compound. We get it from a drywall supplier. I do not know if it's carried in the BIG HOME stores or not. Quote:
It is a tough job... your worries is very true... been there in the basement... I found that although first timer can also do a good job on mudding... however... for a large scale job... this becomes very difficult... as need to keep the same level of patient and consistancy is very hard... I did my basement... and it is quite good for a basement... but if everything move up one level ... it becomes quite a so so job for the first floor... Especially the ceiling... One key is may be inperfections only show after painting finished. Therefore my advice to you is : be patient with the mudding and don't try rush or any short cut and try one unimportant room for testing from start to finish before starting any other area this will give you very good experience.
Before applying your finish paint, go over all areas, using a halogen type lamp, placed so the beam hits surfaces at an angle*. Use this time to do your "touch up" of any light - revealed blemishes. It may take a few more coats on some of the blemishes. Allow the touch ups to dry, go back and sand. Re-prime those areas and then go ahead and complete your painting. *(The way to use the halogen light so the beam is at an angle is similar to the way sunlight might hit the moon's surface and reveal the shadows and outlines of the moon's crated and textured surface. Hopefully your walls & ceilings won't look quite like that) |
This is very good advice Atlantic... and very true too... I infact did some of those... but don't bother for some others... afterall ... it is just a basement... and believe me... when you are at the priming stage... you probably hate sanding so much that you don't want to go backward... but if it is a first floor ... I agree...you got to fix it...
Thanks guys for the much-needed advice. The "light-thing" will come in handy.
One more thing - I've read about putting dish-soap in the joint-compound to reduce bubbles. Does that work and should I do that? Thanks again, Dave |

A Writer's Life
Nicky Baxter, 1956-1999
By Michael S. Gant
A NEWSPAPER LIKE Metro thrives on the opinions--strongly held and passionately defended--of its writers. One of our strongest and most passionate voices, Nicky Baxter, passed away this week. Baxter, age 43, was found dead last Sunday afternoon, Aug. 22, at his apartment in San Jose. The cause of death has not yet been determined.
Wilford Nicky Baxter was born in San Francisco on May 24, 1956. He attended Oberlin College in Ohio, where he received his undergraduate degree. He continued his education at San Jose State University, earning a master's degree in library science. Nicky worked for many years at the San Jose Public Library and freelanced for local papers, including BAM and the East Bay Express.
Nicky began writing for Metro in 1986, our second year of publication. His reviews, profiles, stories and calendar picks continued unabated for 13 years, making his name one of the paper's most familiar bylines.
Among his first appearances in our pages was a review of Neil Young's Landing on Water album. This short piece heralded the arrival of a confident, stylish critic. Over the years, Nicky never lost his belief that Young, at his best, delivered rock & roll that counted for something. In a calendar pick this spring, he wrote, "No other rocker wrenches more out of a single note."
Nicky was determined not to be pigeonholed in his tastes. His music writing ranged freely over a multitude of genres, from jazz and blues to hip-hop and alternative, from funk and R&B to heavy metal and punk. He was as comfortable parsing the fatalism of the Meat Puppets as he was taking readers on a guided tour of George Clinton's deep funk grooves. He often championed bands that refused to stick to type, bands that experimented with fertile musical mixes. On occasion, he even offered readers a quirky take on classical composers and performers.
Although music was his primary love, Nicky often wrote book reviews, analyzed movies and visual art, and tackled political issues. A keen observer of the gender wars, Nicky took author Terry McMillan to task for her black-male-bashing in Waiting to Exhale. His examination of the blaxploitation genre of the '70s revealed the ways in which a new crop of filmmakers subverted some old cinematic stereotypes.
In the aftermath of the Rodney King uprising in 1992, he delivered a blistering editorial that addressed the reality of being black in America: "I cannot inveigh against the street-fighting men and women. Their actions must be weighed in a carefully detailed context. ... The rage that erupted across the nation for those few days was not a reaction to Rodney King alone. It is a loud and unruly 'No!' to racial injustice."
Politics and art were inextricably linked for Nicky. A U.S.-born African, he frequently highlighted the fault lines between the races that could be heard in the music. He agitated against the industry strictures that he believed sometimes constrained the vision of black artists.
At his best, Nicky knew how to translate the ideological into the realm of the intimate. His 1995 essay on the Gang of Four noted, "Rather than ... ranting against the idea of monopoly capitalism, the band proceeded from the premise that in order to get a handle on that system of economic--and hence, social--relations, it is necessary to scrutinize the relationships, the interior battles, between men and women. ... But what made the Gang of Four's take on social relations so intriguing was its 'objectified' commentary. The band never chose sides, it simply described the phenomenon at its point of combustion."
A TIRELESS SUPPORTER of the local music scene, Nicky made sure that Metro's readers never lost sight of such home-grown heroes as jazz trumpeter Eddie Gale, guitarist John Wedemeyer and drummer Wally Schnalle. In his last piece for Metro, he gave a boost up to San Jose's Recruits, a band, in his words, "headed for the big leagues."
A dedicated and deeply knowledgeable fan of the blues, Nicky often wrote about the old masters and young lions of the genre when they stopped in town at clubs likes JJ's Blues. June Stanley, owner of the blues venue, became a friend of Nicky's over the years. "Besides being well-informed about the blues," she recalls, "he wanted to keep the music alive and help the musicians. He would come here and meet the musicians. He was a big part of their lives and mine."
Local music promoter Chris Esparza first met Nicky about the time his former club, Ajax Lounge, opened its doors. "He would come by and check out our music," Chris remembers, "and we would bitch, moan and laugh together about how frustrating the music scene could be in San Jose, but he would always encourage me to keep moving forward and not to give up."
Nicky's influence remains strong, Esparza notes: "If I was asked to create a list of those people who have helped me build my dreams in San Jose, Nicky would be on it, and I only hope he knew that. He was an understanding ear and a supportive voice."
Ron Johnson, bassist and bandleader of Nappy Head Newton, remembers Nicky's devotion to local musicians: "He was just totally supportive of everything I did and encouraged my art--not just me but local groups. ... He was the voice of blues and jazz and world music in the community."
Drummer Wally Schnalle seconds the recollection of many about Nicky's dedication. "His love for music certainly shows up in the intergrity of his attitude toward music," Schnalle says. "When we talked about what was going on in the musical world, he didn't pull his punches. I respected his opinions because they weren't bullshit."
NICKY IS SURVIVED by brother Glen Baxter of Gilroy, sister Regina Richardson of San Jose, girlfriend Margie Davis and father Wilford Nicky Baxter Sr. "My brother was in a lot of ways a folk hero to me," Glen Baxter says. "He was definitely someone I looked up to, someone that I a lot of times found myself measuring up against.
"He had the same kind of heart I did--he was a very caring person who had a sensitive heart. He loved music with a passion; he loved writing with a passion," Glen Baxter continues. "He was an activist in the community ... always involved at the [African American Community Services Agency] and always willing to stick up for others."
Nicky's memorial service will be Friday, Aug. 27, at the Jones Mortuary, 660 Donohoe St., East Palo Alto. At Metro's press time the hour had not been set, but those who wish to attend can call 650/323-2481 for details. Donations toward funeral expenses can be made in care of Glen Baxter at 1685 Brentwood Lane, Gilroy, 95020.

Tiny is the new big, a smaller house can mean a larger life!
National statistics say people in this country are downsizing their homes more and more each day. They are desiring a more simplified and affordable way of life. It is the old saying "less is more", that thought clearly rings true with the idea of a tiny house.
Living in a tiny house can provide freedom to achieve a better quality of life.
Americans today are realizing that it is not wise to put all of their eggs in one basket. Meaning, in a shaky economy why put your whole life's efforts into an expensive 30 year mortgage that consumes your time and hard earned money. The cost and sacrifice for the most part can be overwhelming, not to mention the increased cost in taxes, insurance, maintenance, and utilities.
Unfortunately people are losing their homes to economic and weather related disasters throughout our nation that are dramatically on the rise. Incidents like flooding, brush fires, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes just to name a few. People are being laid off in an economy where unemployment is at record highs, with little prospects in sight. They're foreclosing on their homes and seeing their life savings and dreams vanish before their eyes.

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - A Progressive Conservative government would take swift action on several campaign pledges in its first 100 days, including launching a judicial inquiry into the gas plants scandal and bringing in an employment-focused budget, leader Tim Hudak said Friday.
But he was less clear about the timing of promised public sector job cuts.
"We can and we will act quickly and decisively to put Ontario on the path to job creation and to fiscal sanity," Hudak told a Mississauga Board of Trade breakfast meeting.
Hudak's 12 item to-do list includes, among other things, bringing in a "jobs budget," slicing the size of cabinet to 16 members from the current 27 and making his ministers sign a guarantee to meet his goals or have their pay docked.
He compared his approach to that of Premier Kathleen Wynne, who is promising to re-introduce the same budget that was rejected by the opposition parties, triggering next week's election. The Liberal leader, said Hudak, is offering "more of the same from Day 1."
The Tory leader made it clear that a Hudak government would follow one guiding light — boosting employment.
"Every decision, every argument will be resolved on the basis of what it does to create more jobs," he said.
His bucket list would see the party hit the ground running on many prominent campaign commitments, such as abolishing the College of Trades, reducing business taxes and suspending both hiring and wage increases for government workers, whose ranks would not be replenished as they retire or stop working.
But absent from the list is any sign of major moves on Hudak's planned 100,000 public sector job cuts, which are to occur over four years and have become a lightning rod for criticism from the Liberals and New Democrats.
It appears the Tories aren't ruling out waiting to make the controversial cuts until after their first few months in office, which in a minority-government scenario could let them pass an introductory budget without risking losing the non-confidence vote and getting turfed from power before the paint dries.
But NDP Leader Andrea Horwath disagreed with the presumption underpinning Hudak's get-going list — the prediction that his party is going to be elected.
"I don't think anybody's going to be giving Mr. Hudak a chance to make good on those promises," she said at a campaign stop in Toronto.
Also included on the list are steps that would look closely at decisions made under the Liberal government: a "full accounting" of the province's finances and a judicial inquiry into the gas plants cancellation, an issue that has returned to the forefront with news the Ontario Provincial Police anti-rackets squad investigating the matter is seeking more documents from legislative staff.
"We need the answers on the billion dollars that was taken out of your pockets simply to save a couple of Liberal seats," Hudak said of the cancellations estimated to cost up to $1.1 billion.
"But we also need to set an important tone — for any leader, any politician of any political party — that this kind of activity will never, ever happen in the province of Ontario again," said Hudak, adding the probe would be modelled on the federal sponsorship scandal inquiry.
He said it is a "moment of truth" for Wynne, repeating his call for all gas plants documents to be publicly released. Wynne says that she has no control of the newly requested documents, which are held by the legislative assembly and not political aides.
Hudak said he is confident he could push through the promised changes in the 100-day time span, but dodged a question on whether he would resign if he failed to make them happen.
During this week's debate Hudak said he would step down if he fails to make good on his million jobs plan commitment, which includes balancing the budget within two years.
Voters head to the polls on Thursday.
