Security cameras come in all shapes and sizes, with wired and wireless connections, and occasionally come with features such as pan, tilt, zoom, or infrared night vision. Consequently, security cameras also span the gamut in terms of pricing, with models costing anywhere from twenty dollars to several thousands. Featuring an IP66 hardened outdoor waterproof enclosure, the Rosewill RSCM-12003 IR Outdoor Bullet Camera kit is ideal for general-purpose outdoor or indoor wired security systems, and perfectly compliments Rosewill's own RSVA-11001 or RSVA-12001 all-in-one DVR kits. Comprised of Sony's 1/3″ CCD sensor inside, the RCMR-13CCDIR camera unit produces 540 lines of resolution. In this article Benchmark Reviews inspects the Rosewill RSCM-12003 outdoor security camera kit, and weighs in on its features.

Weighing the Costs of Presenteeism
Dixon, Keith, Chief Executive (U.S.)
Woody Allen once said that 80 percent of success is simply showing up. But most chief executives rcalize that in today's business environment, simply showing up no longer cuts it.
To that effect, you already know that absenteeism hurts your bottom line. But have you considered what presenteeism is costing your business?
Unlike absenteeism, presenteeism is the new buzzword to describe low productivity of employees who are at work. It comes from distractions, be it physical (malaise, exhaustion), mental (concentration problems, depression) or because of problems at home (cldercarc, childcare issues) or at work (job security or performance concerns). It also comes from worker burnout-the exhaustion of mental and physical resources to complete self-perceived unrealistic work demands.
The Harvard Business Review estimates that presentccism costs American businesses $150 billion annually in direct and indirect costs. And if yon believe that your hnman resources department has it under control, think again. Most don't think that it is their responsibility, nor want to admit there is a problem.
Like most things, if presentccism isn't prevented, minimized or managed, it can give rise to depression or substance abuse, increased disability claims and higher overall medical costs. In other words, it can undermine a company as much-or more-than better-known workplace challenges such as absenteeism.
The management of employee stress, performance anxiety and work/life balance isn't just for 1IR to focus on. In fact, HR people typically expeet line-management to handle these types of problems. Bnt when all things are considered, presenteeism should be managed as closely as employee turnover or the cost of health care benefits.
Presenteeism is much more difficult than absenteeism to measure, but researchers have found that lost productivity due to presenteeism is, on average, 7.5 times greater than that lost to absenteeism. Moreover, recent industry studies show that productivity losses due to health-related presenteeism amount to three times that spent on direct medical costs. …

So... I've always kindof heard that people expect Quarter horses to be a western breed. Western bred, western ridden. Or that if they do english, they don't do good at jumping, and they don't do good in hunters.
And everytime I tell someone my 6 year old western pleasure/ halter/ cow horse bred QH mare does dressage and hunters.. successfully, I get looked at funny.
I just want you guy's opinions..
What do you like about QH's, and what DON'T you like.
Do you agree that AQHA should add dressage as one of their world show classes in a few years? If they did, I'd be going... for sureee!!
I just wanna know what your opinion on QH's doing dressage and jumping is! I think they're great at it, but.. what do YOU think :]
Actually... let me rephrase that...
What do you think of Quarter Horses doing dressage/jumpers/hunters. Good? Bad? Lost cause? Why?

User reviews on Battleship: An IMAX Experience
It was not as awful as i though it will be but it was definitely still pretty bad and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. I do not recommend seeing it in the the theatres because it is definitely not worth your time, i suggest to read a good book or listen to some good music instead. The film was incredibly stupid and loud and annoying and I was just so tired after this film. The actors in this film are there to spit out stupid dialogue and be killed, the characters are not developed at all and special effects play the main role in this film.

I didn't catch all of the show, but the gowns were beautiful (watched on E! this morn).

Then Eva Longoria, eh, I thought it was pretty but not as glamorous and a little slutty
Golden Globes and…ahem…"Quirky" People
Watching the Golden Globes and…ahem…"Quirky" People interact with each other on network television during this year's show was pretty fun for me, and I'll tell you why.
I'm won't mince words, because, well… I don't do that. It was fun catching some of the show on Sunday. I watched as Jodi Foster rambled on during her lifetime achievement award about not having to expose her entire life to everyone, and privacy, and reality shows, and such. It seemed to be a truly authentic speech, which I appreciated. The whole "coming out" thing didn't escape anyone, however… but don't be fooled. Jodi knew very well what she was doing. She knew it would toy with reality-show-crazed people of today who LOVE to hear and talk about the private affairs of people they see on TV or film. Are you kidding? Even though Jodi's sexual orientation has been highly speculated over the years, she's always been an extremely private person, and never talked about it. The mere fact she used the words "coming out" was like heaven to the blogosphere, Twitter, and more. I'm even talking about it, aren't I?
Though I am not a friend or acquaintance of any of the people at the Golden Globes, as I watched the show, I felt like somewhat of an insider. I felt I could relate to the family and friends of those nominees and winners. It's mostly because I am a publicist, and I deal with the idiosyncrasies of Quirky people on a daily basis. The feverish attempts that are made to control things and juggle perceptions from the public and so on are sort of a crack up to me. Perhaps it is because I've yet to ever be scrutinized so harshly by such a wide audience. I'm quite sure if the tables were turned, I'd be forced to become more of a private person. Perhaps I would have to hire someone to write my "personal" Ms. Cheevious blogs (heh heh – that would be AWESOME).
I had one person say "Don't mention anything about my private life to so-n-so… he was very jealous that I went on a trip without him…" As if I – your publicist – would do that anyway. That's a MILD one, to say the LEAST, but I've heard it all. As the representative to actors, performers, producers and more, it's been quite interesting. I've been around those who are "kept" by "benefactors" and others who have thrown GIGANTIC fits in public, embarrassing everyone around them. I wrote about one such DIVA in my post a few years back about Patty Stanger from the Millionaire Matchmaker, called "Million Dollar Diva."
In Hollywood, if you are friends with (or a family member to) anyone who has had even a smidge of notoriety or experienced their few moments of fame, you know what the big Golden Globes day was like for the friends and family of the nominees and winners. Being a good friend or family member of someone famous is like being the best man or maid of honor for their wedding- which happens over and over again – every.single.time something great happens in their career… an honor, award, premier, new series, big interview in a major publication, etc…
What does that mean? Think about it. If it's someone's wedding day, guess what? They get all the attention, because it is THEIR friggin' day. Not only that, every little detail leading up to their wedding is exceptionally important, requiring the best man and maid of honor's undivided, selfless attention and time. All others must understand that everyone and everything — EVERYTHING takes a back seat to the myriad of wedding plans… the florist appointment, invitation design, etc. Only death or taxes (or some natural disaster) trumps the wedding, period.
It doesn't stop there. With the dawn of social media, many of the quasi-celebs in Hollywood are caught in limbo between wanting to be present, accounted for and talked about online, and trying desperately to control the conversation that happens to influence perception of them to agents, casting directors, producers and more.
I've heard of people who request photos, posts and more be removed, or their names untagged, etc. because they weren't comfortable with what was being shared. I get it. I truly do. I don't share everything with everyone on Facebook, for instance. I have a private life that my clients don't need to be aware of. But I don't reach out to others and say "Hey, please untag me? I don't like that photo…" or "I don't want people to know what I did on such-n-such day…" That's simply ridiculous. Even people who are dangerous or strange and demented that may find that photo, will find others if they're so inclined. If you don't want anyone to know, don't take a photo and share it. I start to roll my eyes when people freak out because something they didn't expect "may have" shown up online. I really don't think Al Pacino, Brad Pitt or Julianne Moore sit around and worry about a photo of them that turned up. They'd forever be chasing them down! It's pretty funny. Have you ever done a search for someone like Leonardo DiCaprio? I tell you that man is beautiful, but you wouldn't know it by some of the photos of him online caught by Paparazzi on a casual stroll to the coffee shop. Here's a novel idea: Don't pay attention to what's being said. Don't "follow" the comments on the post, or photo. IGNORE it. If you want to truly be a star like Gwyneth Paltrow or fill-in-the-blank, then you've got to grow a thick skin and learn the tough lesson of letting it BE. It's just NOT possible to always look good.
I think some of these "Quirky" people would do well to realize that it's "in the room" and in person – or on film – or on tape – where they make the biggest impact… the one that counts. It isn't the photos that show up on someone's facebook page. (Excluding nudes… now that I can see stressing over).
Yep… it's the friends and family and true supporters to these Quirky people who are the real stars. Forever supporting, truly joyful and happy for their friend/family member's successes and achievements, cheering them on, advising them, taking a back seat, sacrificing their own personal needs, rescheduling (or missing) events, vacations, trips, appointments to accommodate their famous friend or family member's important audition, call-back, interview, shooting day or whatever. I should know. I date a guy who is in the "industry" and we've had all of those situations happen to us (trips cut short, plans rescheduled, etc.). Trust me. I am thankful for the great relationship we have, and the person that he is which makes it all possible. He is a stand-up, truly good person, who is grounded, down-to-earth, and rearranges his schedule to be there for me when it's necessary. So, though our life together is anything but normal (as Ms. Foster was quoted as saying, which I love, "Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from."), he doesn't really qualify as a "Quirky" person. He doesn't assume that anyone will stop their world for his career, and he is truly grateful when he gets special attention. He DESERVES to be up on stage at the Golden Globes.
No… the Quirky people are those I refer to more often that not as a little too paranoid… unable to enjoy the fact they are truly doing what they love, and unable to be truly comfortable in their own skin at all times. These types seem unable to find peace or let things happen to a certain extent, and are unable to realize that it takes incredibly strong people to be able to live in their shadow or come second to their life or career path. (Doctors and Surgeons are also "Quirky" people).
That's it. BEWARE the QUIRKY people. Stay grounded. Be comfortable in your own skin and how you look – as you are, and it will be contagious.
End of Rant. But, my lovelies… what did you expect from Ms. Cheevious?

I missed it Judy! I saw all the tweets about it and saw her head on screen from her seat, but never saw the dress!!! LOL Ahhh well… no big loss. Yeah – it's a fine line between class and sleaze at some of those events…
Kathy Lynn Hall
Fantastic post, Lisa – Great insights on celebs and the people that live in their shadows. I agree that there are plenty of "normal" that are quirky – like most writers!

Thanks for reading and commenting Kathy! Heyyyyy – I hadn't thought about writers… LOL Yes we are a quirky group… LOL

When my eight-year-old was home sick, I asked him if he'd like to find the actors/writers from his favorite tv show on Twitter to entertain him. When we went onto the account of the main writer of this show (verified account), the majority of his tweets were contentious responses to "haters." It was quite a turnoff to me, but my son was thrilled to have found this writer he thinks so highly of and asked me to tweet to him: You are the best writer ever. You have never written a bad episode. I was sure he'd get a tweet back. He didn't. This writer could take a lesson from you, Ms. Cheevious. Ignore the "haters," but make time for an eight-year-old fan.
Ms. Cheevious
Elise – I'd love to know who it is… really… I swear I won't say a word… LOL. THAT is horrible. That's exactly what I am talking about. The real people out there – douche bag – are those that are watching your shows and are fans. sorry. I promise it's the real end of rant now. LOL
Dirty In Public
"Stay grounded. Be comfortable in your own skin and how you look –as you are, and it will be contagious." I LOVE THAT!
Why do people wallow in the negative? I don't get it! Just as Elise commented earlier about her sons favorite writer, it's as though their quirky ego's are so fragile, so sensitive, that all negative comments must be contested or they will melt into oblivion. What a sad little reality the quirky people create for themselves! This from a self-proclaimed quirky girl….but normal-cool-writer quirky. Not bitter-egomaniac-paranoid quirky! LOL! Let's just be clear!
Ms. Cheevious
HAHA! love that! Normal-cool-writer quirky… You and me both!

Is there an SR filed on this?
Anyway, the Mapviewer javascript API is being used in OBIEE (not the java bean one).
Is it a standard obiee map view which has this issue?
Try the OBIEE Sample App (available on OTN)
Try Dashboard page 3.3. SF Metrics. There are two layers that can be shown on the map (Revenue and Billed Quantity, and Establishment Revenue).
Enable both and on hover the Rev & Billed qty info is shown. Uncheck Rev & Billed Qty and only the info for Establishment Revenue is shown on hover or when clicked on.

Right-hander Yu Darvish did not throw for the 15th consecutive day because of elbow inflammation, and the club's medical staff has yet to set a rehabilitation program for him.
Darvish is nearing the point where each day on the disabled list will cost him.
Darvish's contract includes an annual roster bonus of $800,000. The bonus allows Darvish to be on the disabled list for up to 30 days in a season. If Darvish is on the disabled list beyond that, the club can subtract $5,228.75 per day from the bonus payment.
Darvish spent the first five days of the season on the DL. Add that to his current stay, and Darvish on Tuesday will reach 30 days on the DL. If he spends the remainder of the season on the DL, he will lose $135,947.50 from the bonus.
Briefly: Outfielder Alex Rios missed his second consecutive game because of soreness in his right thumb. Manager Ron Washington expects Rios to be in the lineup Friday against Houston left-hander Brett Oberholtzer. … Outfielder Daniel Robertson is considering spending part of the off-season with Obregon of the Mexico winter league to work on another position: second base. Robertson has appeared at second in one game, for four innings, with the Rangers and seven games in his minor league career. The ability to play another position would enhance Robertson's value. … Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo will undergo surgery Friday to remove a bone spur from the left elbow. The Rangers expect Choo to be ready for the start of spring training next season.

Total Recall
What to do when your car is on the recall list
Phoenix, March 26, 2014. It seems like a different vehicle is getting recalled almost every day.
Two recent recalls serve as perfect examples, as two manufacturers recalled more than 3.5 million vehicles this month. As an automotive resource, AAA advises motorists to get the needed repairs if a recall or service bulletin is issued for their vehicle.
The two recalls issued this month are just a fraction of what occurs annually. Auto manufacturers recalled almost 22 million cars last year, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).
"Increasing consumer awareness has driven a significant proportion of the growing number of recalls," said John Walter, director of automotive repair for AAA Arizona. "In fact, almost 7 million out of the 22 million total vehicles recalled in 2013 were the result of NHTSA investigations that were prompted by consumer complaints."
How to determine if a safety recall or a technical service bulletin has been issued:
As your vehicle is brought in for service, ask the service advisor to check for technical service bulletins. In some cases, repairs listed in the bulletin will be covered by the manufacturer "service campaign" that provides free or discounted repairs, even if the warranty has expired.
- Whether you buy a vehicle from a private seller or dealer, you will receive recall information once you register your vehicle through the MVD. Owners who move should notify the vehicle manufacturer by using the post card provided in the warranty booklet or by giving the dealer the new address.
"If there's a safety recall for your vehicle, contact your local dealer and have the repair completed as soon as possible and remember to ask if you're entitled to a rental car while the repairs are conducted," Walter said. "Also, be sure to keep a copy of the work for your repair records."
Recall resources and tools:
Label it: All manufacturers must now use a distinctive label on required mailings that notify owners of recalled vehicles to avoid mistakenly discarding critical notices. The new label states "Important Safety Recall Information" in red and black, along with the phrase, "Issued in Accordance with Federal Law," and U.S. Dept. of Transportation and NHTSA logos.
App alert: NHTSA's SaferCar app, available on Smartphones and some tablets, helps consumers find recall information and vehicle safety information. It allows consumers to search the agency's 5-Star Safety Ratings for vehicles by make and model and subscribe to automatic notices about vehicle recalls.
- Online option: Consumers also can go to safercar.gov and start at the right-hand side of the home page under "Safety Recalls" and follow the prompts to enter their vehicle information to find out if a recall has been announced.
AAA Arizona is an automotive resource. For more information, go to AAA.com/auto.
AAA Arizona, the Arizona affiliate of AAA, provides automotive, insurance and travel services to more than 850,000 Arizona members. Annually, AAA's Roadside Assistance responds to more than 450,000 calls for help on Arizona roadways. The auto club also provides discounts and financial services to AAA members. Since its founding in 1927, AAA Arizona has been a leading advocate for the safety and security of all travelers.

Bites: The Libertine, Forage Kitchen, Zut! Tavern
Openings, closings…
THE LIBERTINE OPENS ON GRAND AVENUE Last Friday, The Libertine began pouring drinks in Oakland's Grand Lake neighborhood. It is the second bar for owner Aric Yeverino, who has been operating Hayward's popular dive bar The Dirty Bird Lounge, since 2009. As we reported back in April, Yeverino purchased the bar, which used to house Kingman's Lucky Lounge, earlier this year. Right now, the bar is serving a limited cocktail list, including a Moscow Mule, Last Word, a punch called "Sailor Jerry" and a whiskey cocktail called the Creole. Early Yelp reviews are very positive, calling the bar an "excellent addition to the neighborhood." The Libertine is at 3332 Grand Ave. (near Mandana Boulevard), Oakland.

East Bay artisans show strong at Good Food Awards
Last Thursday night, the 2015 Good Food Awards ceremony showcased the most regionally diverse crowd in their five-year history, yet even with this abundance of talent from around the country, the East Bay had a definitive presence.
East Bay food judges were present in all categories. Alice Waters held court on the stage all night, along with fellow food leaders Ruth Reichl and Nell Newman. Mark Bittman, who is to lead Cal's Edible Education class this spring, delivered the keynote speech. And longtime East Bay businesses, Market Hall Foods and Fra'Mani won awards amid a youthful crop of food artisans. … Continue reading »
Thanksgiving turkey: Chop it up, it tastes better!
It's turkey season. Norman Rockwell's iconic image of a turkey dinner — "Freedom from Want" — reenforces the image that the turkey we place on the table for holiday feasts should be a whole bird. However many experts, including Monica Rocchino, co-owner with her husband Aaron Rocchino of The Local Butcher Shop in Berkeley, challenge that sacred notion.
Here, Rocchino explains why carving up the bird makes for a better-tasting meat. This article was originally published two years ago, but its advice is timeless, so we're delighted to bring it to you again on the eve of Thanksgiving 2014:
Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner is a pressure-filled meal for many of us. For those who don't cook much throughout the year, it is a daunting task to feed family and friends, and for those who pride themselves on being excellent cooks, there are grand expectations!
Unfortunately, for both types of cooks, Norman Rockwell's image of a turkey dinner has become the "norm" of what we expect to see on the holiday table, even if only for a brief moment before it gets carved or hacked to pieces. After spending a pretty penny on a turkey, why is it that we throw our sense of taste aside in order to present a whole bird for a minute or two at the table? The bottom line is that it is nearly impossible to cook a whole turkey and end up with perfectly cooked white and dark meat. … Continue reading »
100 yummy recipes from a gluten-free omnivore
Writer and photographer Erin Scott has just published her first book, titled Yummy Supper, which offers 100 "fresh, luscious and honest recipes from a (gluten-free) omnivore." The book grew from Scott's popular blog of the same name. We asked the Berkeley resident to spill the beans on her inspirations, what the deal is with gluten free, and where she likes to source her food locally.
The new book is gorgeous. What did you set out to achieve when you wrote/photographed it?
Thank you! I wanted to make a book full of recipes that are fresh, delicious, and accessible to a wide range of home cooks. I looked at photography as a powerful way to draw people into the kitchen and encourage them to cook –a well-written recipe can be enticing, of course, but photography is an unbeatable tool to whet someone's appetite.
The book stemmed from your Yummy Supper blog. When and why did you start writing that?
I accidentally fell into blogging back in the summer of 2009. At that point, I didn't even know how blogs worked and I'd always been a bit suspicious of technology, but I was looking for a friendly forum to share recipes with other food-loving friends and a blog seemed like a good vehicle.
I'd been diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2008 and at first felt very isolated in this food-obsessed town of ours. I started Yummy Supper because I was looking to reconnect with folks around the joy of cooking simple, seasonal foods, to look beyond my dietary limitation and create a delicious common ground for sharing recipes with other food lovers, gluten-free or not. … Continue reading »

CASK ON COLLEGE IS OPEN Berkeley has a new upmarket liquor store with the opening of Cask at 3185 College Ave. (pictured above). We told you in March about plans by Future Bars, the group behind San Francisco cocktail bars Bourbon & Branch and Local Edition — as well as the forthcoming Tupper & Reed cocktail bar in the old Beckett's space in Berkeley — to take over College Avenue Wine Spirits & Deli. The deed is done and, as Tablehooper reports, Cask on College is now up and running. Cask says it specializes "in curating a selection of hard-to-find, unusual, esoteric, and generally tasty wines, spirits, beers, and mixers, along with some interesting books and bar tools. We try our best to select only the best products that we can find, and we offer you our assurance that our buyers have tasted or used every product before they hit the shelves."

Ex-Chez Panisse pastry chef is back as chocolatier
When the buyer at San Francisco's artisanal mecca Bi-Rite Market proclaims a certain brand of chocolates to be "exquisite– quite simply, the best I've ever tasted," it would be wise to pay attention.
The chocolates in question are made by Alexandra Whisnant, under the name gâté comme des filles chocolats (a French line that loosely translates as Spoiled Like the Girls Chocolates). So far, they are sold at The Local Butcher Shop in Berkeley (made with their own signature bacon) and through online food delivery service Good Eggs.
Whisnant, a chocolatier by trade, has just relocated gâté comme des filles from Paris to the Bay Area. … Continue reading »

ORDINAIRE New wine bar-wine shop, Ordinaire (as in "vin ordinaire"), has just opened at 3354 Grand Ave. in Oakland. Owner Bradford Taylor, who is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in English literature at UC Berkeley, said the place specializes in featuring small, boutique wineries, mostly from California, but also from France, Italy and Germany. Taylor has written in detail about what prompted him to open the shop (which was originally going to be called Red Whale) on Cal's English Department's website. Taylor is also offering a very small food menu with locally cured charcuterie, artisan cheese, and simple salads. Follow Ordinaire on its Facebook page. (Sounds not unlike Botella Republic which is slated to open in downtown Berkeley early next year.) … Continue reading »
In Oakland, two Italians craft pasta with a U.S. twist
Almost a year ago this week, Renato Sardo and Dario Barbone, compatriots from northwestern Italy, set up shop in Oakland's burgeoning Jack London Square to make pasta. Not just any old pasta. Each of the twelve shapes produced by Baia Pasta — from the charming conchiglioni ("spinners") to the traditional maccheroni — are made from organic American flours.
"The idea for the business started when I learned that many high quality dried pastas in Italy are made from American wheat,"said Renato Sardo as he stood in the Baia Pasta retail space that doubles as the production facility.
Hard durum wheat (as opposed to soft wheat, which has a lower protein content and is used for pie crusts and cakes) contributes that desirable toothiness in dried pasta cooked to al dente. Ground hard durum, also called semolina, remains their best seller. But Sardo and Barbone also experiment with other flours, such as spelt and kamut, grown organically in the areas surrounding the Rocky Mountain Range. They even make a rice-based noodle that appeals to the gluten-free crowd. … Continue reading »
Meat matters: 2 new films focus on hot issues
Ashton Kutcher is the executive producer of a mini-documentary about Bay Area butcher shops which features Berkeley's own The Local Butcher Shop, along with 4505 Meats and Avedano's Holly Park Market in San Francisco.
The subject of meat, America's industrial meat system and the growing movement towards more sustainable, humane practices is a hot one right now.
On Feb. 4 UC Berkeley is hosting a free screening of American Meat a pro-farmer documentary which takes a critical look at cattle, hog, and chicken production in the U.S. and examines the viability of moving the industry over to more sustainable practices. A discussion will follow the screening, moderated by Novella Carpenter, author of the best-selling memoir Farm City and co-owner of Berkeley's BioFuel Oasis which, as well as selling bio-fuel to cars, offers urban farming classes. … Continue reading »

DUENDE Definitely one of the most anticipated restaurant openings of the year, Duende is officially open for business.

There will be Verve Coffee available in the mornings and imported olive oil, along with wine organized by country. Bottles from the bodega can be opened in the restaurant with a $12 corkage fee. Domestic wines, beers and a full bar will be available in the restaurant side of Duende. Duende, 468 19th St., Oakland; 510-893-0174.

CAFFE VENEZIA Caffe Venezia, on University Avenue at Grant Street, will close before this summer after 33 years of operation in Berkeley. Owners Jeff Wizig and Roger Feuer are retiring and selling the business, the restaurant's manager said. A new owner plans to open a restaurant in the space eventually, but the lid is on precisely what it will be. Caffe Venezia, with its charming Venice street scene interior décor — fountains, balconies and washing lines included — has been a much-loved fixture on the local dining scene for generations of Berkeley families. Caffe Venezia's founder, John Solomon, was the inspiration behind the "How Berkeley Can You Be Parade" that marched along University once a year for 13 years, until it was canceled in 2009. Berkeleyside Nosh will have a fuller report looking at the history of the restaurant and its place in city life soon. [Hat-tip: James Carr] … Continue reading »

Top food stories from Berkeley in 2011
As the year draws to a close, it's time to look back to see what food stories created a buzz around town and on Berkeleyside in 2011.
Granted, there's an arbitrary nature to such end-of-year lists. But it's an opportunity to take stock of the city's culinary culture.
For the purposes of this post we've focused on food news stories, which doesn't take into account the dozens of interviews with foragers, farmers, artisans, advocates, chefs, cooking teachers, preservers, pasta makers, cheese purveyors, pop-up restaurateurs, and farmers' market vendors we've published during 2011.
This year also saw controversial coverage of corner stores, reporting on detractors of school food, an insider's take on speed dating with a veg-friendly focus, and a widely criticized first-person piece on disappointing camp chow.
Readers may differ on what food stories caught their attention. Feel free to add your own highlights (or low points) in the comments section.

An Alaska property rights measure that would have required the government to compensate landowners for any public projects that reduce property values was defeated by more than a 2-to-1 margin.
"Tuesday's Mat-Su Borough election resulted in a sound defeat for Prop. 1, a controversial land-use measure that sparked vocal and heated debate in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Mat-Su Taxpayers Against Prop. 1 called the results a victory for public planning as Borough voters turned down the Private Property Protection Act by a margin of 4,585 votes. Of the 10,846 who cast ballots Tuesday, 7,658 - 70.6 percent - were against Prop. 1. Overall, 3,073 were in favor of the measure."
"Titled the Private Property Protection Act, Prop.1 was sponsored by locals Penny Nixon and Dennis Oakland of the Mat-Su Taxpayers Association. Prop. 1 was written as an effort to halt the Mat-Su Borough passing "extreme" land use regulations by making the Borough pay landowners for any reduction in property valuation resulting from its actions, Oakland said."

Happy Birthdays! Daughters of Jessica Alba, Tori Spelling, Pink and "Modern Family" Celebrate in Style (Photos)Shana Aborn
Bakeries, party supply stores and sellers of all things frilly were working overtime last week as four – count 'em, 4! – famous young ladies reached their early-June birthdays.
Shown here is new four-year-old Honor Marie Warren, blowing out candles while surrounded by her family: mom Jessica Alba, dad Cash Warren and baby sister Haven.
On June 7, Jessica tweeted, "Happy Bday to my sweet little princess – 4 yrs ago I learned the true meaning of love."
Honor is in good company! Also celebrating were Tori Spelling's older daughter, Stella (another four-year-old), Pink's baby Willow (who turned one) and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, better known as Lily on Modern Family (the oldest of the group at five).
Their proud parents gladly tweeted pictures of cakes, gifts, guests and the happy – if somewhat sugar-overloaded – little princesses. Stella and her friends enjoyed a tea party and pretty crafts. Aubrey's circus-themed park bash featured face painting, an elephant pinata and gifts not only for the birthday girl, but also for babies in need.
Honor's party was at California party place Kidville – but practical Mom took charge of the decor. And though a medical emergency nearly kept Pink out of the festivities, she was released from the hospital in time to "get the party started" for the girl she calls "my angel, my purpose, my biggest blessing."
Four sweet girls + four birthdays + four times the frills = one big dose of cuteness!
Check out our (very) happy birthday gallery!
Tiny dancer 1 of 12Jessica laughs that Honor insisted on posing ballet-style for this birthday pic.
Sharing the love 2 of 12Stella McDermott celebrated her birthday with a tea party at home.
Cool crafting 3 of 12Stella and her guests enjoyed making crafts from kits Tori bought at Oriental Trading.
Pretty in pink 4 of 12Little Willow's day was slightly marred by the fact that mom Pink was in the hospital with stomach issues just before her party. But dad Corey Hart made sure she looked her best when they went to visit Mommy.
I can't believe it's not made with butter! 5 of 12Stella's gorgeous birthday cake was vegan - meaning no animal products like eggs or milk were used.
Silly girls 6 of 12Aubrey Anderson-Emmons and mom Amy Anderson have fun with marshmallows at her outdoor birthday party.

While their sales may not add up to all 10 billion apps that the App Store has sold, Electronic Arts is boasting of amazing third quarter sales of its own iOS apps. Joystiq reports that COO John Schappert recently discussed just how well EA apps did during the holiday season. Schappert said, "The day after Christmas, the millions who were activating their new devices, EA held 14 of the top 25 paid apps for the iPhone and 15 of the top 25 paid apps for the iPad."
Part of the reason EA did so well, other than offering titles iOS users were obviously willing to pay for, was that it dropped prices on most of its iOS apps in December, setting off a price war amongst developers on the App Store. EA's timing was impeccable, however, because Apple froze the App Store charts on December 23, leaving many EA titles right near or at the top of the charts for the remainder of the holidays. Very smart indeed.

Adriana (DAKINE) Knows How to Make a Hat
- Gender:Female
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
This is my first DAKINE purchase and I am sold. I opted for the brown, because of the pink and blue highlights (more pop to them than rendered in the picture). It's heavy and warm even in freezing/below freezing temperatures. So far I have had no issues with it stretching or losing its shape. One warning is that it is tight. I don't consider my head to be large, but it is super snug on my head - if your head is on the larger size I would caution yourself. Overall, I love it and look forward to expanding my hat collection with more DAKINE beanies in the future.
Great look, great fit
- Gender:Female
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I ordered this hat (in brown) for the apres ski scene and general winter use. I ski in a helmet but need something cute to put on my head after a day on the slopes. I have a fairly small head and this hat looks great and fits great as well. It's thick -- two layers -- and fitted around the bottom and retains its cute shape at the top. The hat is great. I can't wait to wear it! The colors are also super cute - brown with blue, khaki and a little magenta.

'DWTS' Ballroom Stunned by Unexpected Elimination
'DWTS' Ballroom Stunned by Unexpected Elimination
The Dancing with the Stars ballroom was jolted once again on Monday night with another shocking elimination that roused the judges to their feet in dismay.
[SPOILER ALERT: Results from the show revealed below]
With the Mirrorball Trophy being awarded in just two weeks, the celeb dancers worked hard to be at their pinnacle in Week 9 as they took on an individual dance and a trio dance with an eliminated pro or member of the troupe.
Amber Riley got the ballroom moving first with an energetic quickstep with her partner Derek Hough. Although the judges seemed to enjoy the routine, they didn't back their sentiments with their paddles. The Glee actress was given her lowest score in six weeks, 24, for her quickstep.
Although the usually leaderboard-topping dancer later earned a 27 for her trio salsa, she was slotted second to last on the leaderboard with her total of 51/60 when all was said and done.
Nevertheless, Riley still remained far above the depths of last place, which was once again claimed by comedian Bill Engvall. Although he and his partner Emma Slater thoroughly enjoyed their routines, the judges did not.
On par with the majority of his dances, Engvall's Charleston was critiqued as offbeat by judge Bruno Tonioli and was granted 21 points, his lowest since Week 4. "Offbeat," was a relatively kind critique, however, as judge Carrie Ann Inanba labeled Egvall's candy-man-themed trio salsa "so weird," and he was once again awarded a 21, slotting him in dead last with 42/60.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, actor Corbin Bleu dazzled once again, grabbing the spotlight with his duo of dances that were collectively two points short of perfection. Bleu's graceful slow waltz, deemed "dreamy" by Carrie Ann, earned 28 points, and it only got better from there.
Adding troupe member Witney Carson onboard for his jazz trio, set to a jazzed-up rendition of Usher's "Yeah," Bleu rendered a performance that Carrie Ann said might have been the best she's seen in 17 seasons on the show. The judges added substance to that assessment by giving him the night's first perfect score.
Leah Remini and Jack Osbourne both pulled totals of 54/60. Remini went for brownie points once again with a tribute to the judges in her trio jive, and it paid off with a 27. Osbourne, however, didn't receive much acclaim for his jungle-themed trio samba, and failed to capitalize on the 29 he earned in the first round for his Viennese waltz.
As she approached her trio dance, the last dance of the night, actress Elizabeth Berkley had to put on her best to ensure that she and partner Val Chmerkovskiy would avoid elimination after their dramatic wedding-themed Viennese waltz put them in the middle of the pack.
Berkley came ready for the challenge, producing a salacious salsa that earned the former Saved by the Bell actress a perfect score, which boosted her to second on the leaderboard.
Yet, when it was time to determine which dancer would be going home this week, Elizabeth found herself in the bottom two. The other contestant in the bottom two, Bill Engvall, was hardly surprised to find himself there, as he's been there for the past three eliminations.
Tears began to stream down Engvall's partner Emma Slater's face as the two stood awaiting what seemed to be an inevitable elimination as their scores on the night fell 14 points short of Berkley and Chmerkovskiy's.

We present a 2.4-GHz asymmetric multilevel outphasing (AMO) power amplifier (PA) with class-E branch amplifiers and discrete supply modulators integrated in a 65-nm CMOS process. AMO PAs achieve improved modulation bandwidth and efficiency over envelope tracking (ET) PAs by replacing the continuous supply modulator with a discrete supply modulator implemented with a fast digital switching network. Outphasing modulation is used to provide the required fine output envelope control. The AMO PA delivers 27.7-dBm peak output power with 45% system efficiency at 2.4 GHz. For a 20-MHz WLAN OFDM signal with 7.5-dB PAPR, the AMO PA achieves a drain efficiency of 31.9% and a system efficiency of 27.6% with an EVM of 2.7% rms.

Adams 10 Championships 2014 - An 'Executive Decision' to cough up a small fortune to send his yacht by truck up the highway from Victoria to Gosford, NSW, proved a wise one for Adams 10 owner Grant Botiga.
The relaxed looking crew aboard winning boat Executive Decision. - Adams 10 National Championships
Along with his skipper Josh White and trusty crew of five others aboard Executive Decision, Botiga took out the national Adams 10 Championships in fine style on Brisbane Water over the Australia Day long weekend.
The sole interstate visitors among the 8-strong fleet won six of seven races in a challenging variety of conditions on Brisbane Water. The others aboard Executive Decision were Blake Anderson, Peter Elliott, Tim Bold, Craig Black and gun fore-deckie Reagan Burdon-Bear.
Winners Executive Decision setting the spinnaker. - Adams 10 National Championships
Botica said the idea of testing their mettle across the border was the natural 'next step'' after winning the Geelong Week regatta for three years in a row and the Australian championships in Geelong in the IRC division C.
After the presentation at Gosford Sailing Club, the Vics weren't hard to spot with VB cans populating the table they sat around, and the impressive ship wheel scratch trophy was also a bit of a dead giveaway.
But despite their dominance of the seven-race series, which was preceded with a novelty series on Friday and concluded on Monday, Botiga was magnanimous in his appraisal of the competition.
'It was six wins and a fourth but it wasn't as easy as it seems on the scoreboard,' he said.
'In every race we just had a little edge on them - they were all experienced and skilful sailors sailing well, it often only comes down to one little mistake.'
Action from the championships. - Adams 10 National Championships
Although compared to Port Phillip Bay it was 'flat water sailing, even at 34 knots', he said it was 'one of the trickiest places I've sailed on, the shifts were very extreme.
Approaching a mark closely together on picturesque Brisbane Water. - Adams 10 National Championships
The racing proper started on Saturday with a building 25 knot south-easterly, conditions that whet the whistle of Executive Decision's crew as the Royal Victorian Yacht Club bunch were well used to them. They didn't have it all their own way on that day, though, with eventual runner-up up Another Dilemma, from Middle Harbour Yacht Club, nailing the second race.

As Gosford vice-president Geoff Jollow put it, Sunday dished up 'something fickle from the east', and the final day delivered a nice 15 knot nor-easter. Despite their modesty, in the end the overall winners proved far more successful at adapting to the changing conditions.
'It was a magnificent score of six … the champions picked the right way to go each time and showed some excellent sailing skills,' said the association's Lindsay Rose.
'We will need to sharpen our skills and give them more competition.'
Despite their dominance, there was keen competition among those chasing the leader and only a few minutes separated first from last in all races.
Runner-up Another Dilemma from MHYC. - Adams 10 National Championships
The runner-up Another Dilemma, skippered by Tim Gallego, finished on 12 points, followed by the late challenger coming back through the fleet Sirius, skippered by Ben Nossiter (MHYC), with Rock Solid, Mitch Miller (MHYC), fourth overall.
Skinny Flat White, the host club's sole entry, in action. - Adams 10 National Championships
Gosford's sole entry, Skinny Flat White, skippered by Jo Hayes, picked up a trophy as the best older-style boat in the fleet, being the only one with wooden seating. Despite being off the pace by a couple of minutes in the races, the crew enjoyed steady improvement and managed to put a boat behind them in three races.
Relaxing afterwards, Grant Botiga said the slick Vics did enjoy their time in NSW 'sleeping under sheets instead of doonas' and reckoned they could come back but would consider chartering a boat in NSW instead of freighting.
Next year the nationals will be staged in Sydney and the experience of hosting has made the Gosford club keen to do it all again.
Leading results were: Executive Decision, skipper Josh White, RYCV, 1; Another Dilemma, Tim Gallego, MHYC, 2; Sirius, Ben Nossiter, MHYC, 3; Rock Solid, Mitch Miller, MHYC, 4.

POLL-US natgas storage seen down 76 bcf in weekly EIA report28 minutes ago by Thomson Reuters
(Repeats Thursday's poll without any changes) * Withdrawal estimates range from 66 bcf to 87 bcf * Median draw in the poll was 76 bcf By Joe Silha NEW YORK, Dec 27 (Reuters) - U.S. natural gas inventories onaverage are expected to have dropped by 76 billion cubic feetlast week, a Reuters poll of industry traders and analystsshowed on Thursday. The U.S. Energy Information Administration will release itsgas storage data for the week ended Dec. 21 on Friday at 10:30a.m. EST (1530 GMT), a day later due to the Christmas holidaythis week. Utilities typically stockpile natural gas from April throughOctober, then withdraw stored supplies from November throughMarch to help meet peak winter heating demand. The Reuters poll had 20 participants, with withdrawalestimates ranging from 66 bcf to 87 bcf. Storage fell by a date-adjusted 87 bcf during the same weeklast year. The five-year average drop for that week is 140 bcf. The median draw forecast in the survey was 76 bcf. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationsaid there were 155 heating degree days last week. That was onecolder than the previous week but 36 warmer than normal and onewarmer than the same week last year. Degree days, a measure of departure in the mean dailytemperature from 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius), areused to estimate demand to heat or cool homes and businesses.They are often weighted to reflect population differences inspecific states and regions. For the week ended Dec. 14, overall storage fell 82 bcf to3.724 trillion cubic feet. The weekly draw came in above the Reuters poll estimate of72 bcf and was viewed as slightly supportive. But some tradersnoted it fell well short of the 100 bcf pulled from storageduring the same week last year, while the five-year averagedecline for that week was 144 bcf. (Storage graphic: http://link.reuters.com/mup44s) The withdrawal increased the surplus relative to last yearby 18 bcf to 66 bcf, or 2 percent above the same week in 2011. It also added 62 bcf to the excess versus the five-year average,increasing that total to 345 bcf, or 10 percent. Stocks hit a record high of 3.929 tcf in early November,making this the fourth straight year that gas inventories haveheaded into the heating season at an all-time peak. Storage is still at a record high for this time of year. A draw on Thursday at the Reuters poll estimate would drivestocks to a 77 bcf, or 2 percent, surplus relative to the sameweek last year. It would also add 64 bcf to the overhang versusthe five-year average, increasing that total to 409 bcf, or 13percent. In the last four reports, total stocks fell 149 bcf, or 37bcf per week, versus an 191-bcf adjusted drop for the sameone-month period last year and a 326-bcf five-year averagewithdrawal for that period. NOAA said it expected 184 heating degree days this week, 16below normal but 13 more than the same year-ago week. Early withdrawal estimates for next week's storage reportrange from 100 bcf to 141 bcf versus a 77 bcf adjusted declineduring the same year-ago week and a five-year average draw forthat week of 111 bcf.
