2011 Dungeness Crab
I usually try to get mine right off the boats at pillar point. Any word on crab prices this year? Who is your go to boat at pillar point for crab?
re: artychokeasana
I just talked to Whole foods also, they told me not to expect anything until the 17th. I cant wait!
re: artychokeasana
Last year we got a cooler full of crab at 2.50/lb right off the boat. Hope the prices are around the same price. Maybe after the Thanksgiving rush they will come down to that price. I haven't heard if they have set a wholesale price yet or not.
re: hawaii92
You might get that off the boat, but your going to pay about $5.95/lb retail. Pretty much the cheapest Ive ever seen outside of going to HMB docks in 4.95/lb.
re: techindahaus
I had some nice crabs on Thursday. What a treat. The sport season is one of the best this year. Commercial season opens Tuesday. Last year I was paying $ 5.00 a crab off one of the boats in Santa Cruz. Hope this year is the same.
re: techindahaus
Huh? Last year Oakland Chinatown had local crabs at $1.49/lb early in the season, and $199-$2.99 is pretty typical ayt most asian seafood markets. I do not think I have ever paid more than $3.99/lb.
re: Civil Bear
I'm skeptical that any retailer sold legally caught local crabs for under $2 last year.
re: Robert Lauriston
After Thanksgiving I've seen $2.99 on a regular if not always basis. I have heard of $1.99 in Oakland Chinatown as an infrequent/one time special, as reported here.
re: ML8000
I was responding to $1.99 as being in the "pretty typical" range for local crab in Asian seafood markets.
re: Bunson
I went out on a charter boat for rockfish & crab on Saturday out of Emeryville. The crab are abundant and were averaging 25-30 crab per pot. Most were in the 2-pound class.
re: baron45
Yes, it is looking good. We were able to retrieve 30 jumbos for the three of us with just pulling two pots yesterday. They were plump and sweet!
re: Bunson
Yeah I know what you mean. I've actually bought crab from a few boats over the years and they have all been very friendly, helpful and had excellent crab you just can't go wrong at HMB. I'm hoping the prices are good this year
Looks like we have a delay as of this morning - see article in the SF Chronicle article:
re: RWCFoodie
I couldn't get that link to work. What was the delay?
re: techindahaus
a dispute over the wholesale contract price. Fishermen want 2.50/lb processers want closer to 1.75/lb
re: hawaii92
I called my boat yesterday and they were at the dock ready for midnight to hit to go out, but they mentioned the wholesale price issue that the boats were trying to work out that could delay going out; also the weather the next few days is going to be rough with some really rocky seas. I guess I'll check back on Friday to see where things stand.
re: techindahaus
It's the traditional hold-up over the wholesale price. Happens almost every year.
re: Ruth Lafler
But the local CBS new report said that according to the fishmermen the crabs are excellent quality this year.
re: rworange
I can vouch for that!
re: Civil Bear
The one facing the camera on the right looks a bit small.
A co-worker brought in 20 pounds yesterday as his next-door-neighbor is a commercial fisherman and the size and flavor were AMAZING.
re: Bunson
Unless something happened overnight, the price still has not been settled.
re: boris_qd
The first couple of opening weekends are a zoo with lines like the most popular ride at Disneyland, and crab is gone fast.
I recommend buying from a few boats and try to find a boat owner that you feel you can trust. Some will let you call ahead (1-2 days beforehand) and will set crabs aside for you (the boat I go to will reserve crab and won't sell those to the public, plus they'll pick out the larger/meatier crabs for being a loyal customer). I tried crabs from about half dozen boats before getting to know the one I liked the most and they hook me up every time. Just be sure to show up and buy the crabs they set aside for you, or call and let them know you can't make it so they can sell them to other people.
For walk-up crabs you can either call the Pillar Point Fresh Fish Hotline(650-726-8724) to see if any boats are docked and selling crab, or you can just show up and hope some boats have come in. The hotline isn't always updated until mid/late morning so if you wait until it updates by the time you get there the bigger crabs have already been sold. There are usually at least 1-2 boats in, though there were a couple of times I went on a Sunday and no boats were in and I was stuck buying out-of-state crab from Princeton Seafood. Saturday seems to be the most popular day, Sunday boats seem to be those that didn't sell all their crabs the day before. I'd try to get to the harbor no later than 8-9am.
re: boris_qd
If you can't get to HMB, you might check if TigerFish is going to be coming to Emeryville this winter. http://www.tigerfishsportfishing.com
re: ML8000
the test sample taken in early Nov in Bodega Bay (a sample further south, HMB vicinity, was invalidated from lack of an accredited observer) had only .24 flesh/total weight, when the legal standard is .25.
fishery management for the ocean catch, Canadian border to Pt.Arenas, decided to delay opening their part of the catch [this is a source of much of the crab sold from Jan and later, because our local waters will be depleted of the legal size] until 15 Dec, two weeks later than originally scheduled, to insure more crabs getting to proper size.
re: moto
This boat will be selling crab off the boat either in Emeryville or Pillar Pt when they get the signal to go. You can call the number and find out where & when.
re: baron45
muchisimas gracias, maestro pescador. hope to contact them (you?) early Dec.
Ranch 99 Richmond, price card for crab $5.99 a pound. Number of crab available ZERO. The wait goes on.
re: majordanby
If you want live ones, Paisano Brothers. For cooked, cracked and cleaned ones, Spud Point Crab Company across the street. But call for availability to be sure they've landed any, as well as hours. And for Paisano, bring your own tub, cooler, box, bags, or other way of carrying your crabs home.

re: emglow101
I agree. If fishing for crab was easy and cheap we would all be hauling in our own crab each season. The fishermen deserve to be paid for their work. Get the season started!!!
re: emglow101
On Friday I wandered forlornly through all of the usual suspects in Oakland Chinatown and found only empty tanks. Had to settle for $7.69 per pound lobsters from Lucky. Though they were pretty good, I want some live crabs now too!
Santa Cruz Wharf, Stagnaro fish market, Whole-Cooked $5.95/lb, they also have Live for a dollar less/lb.
I bought a 2.29lb cooked and a nice soft loaf of bread..expensive, so I only bought one.
My local Go-To market has had no information. I was surprised to find them on the Wharf as I had checked on Thursday. They said they started selling on Friday.
re: Coastfriend
Went out again on a charter boat for rockfish & crab and the crab pots were stuffed. What a nice day on the water compared today's rain. We only needed to pull a few pots for everyone's limits.
The crabbers are still on strike. They want $2.50/lb but the wholesalers are offering $2 and possibly up to $2.25.
re: baron45
yes, the fisher-fishmonger today up in Sonoma county gave the same story, that it's .25 per pound that separates the two sides. that adds up to a chunk of the margin on each trip out, fuel prices the way they are.
re: moto
Speaking of Sonoma, you can often get crab off the boat at the Sonoma Marina. Look to see if there are crab signs by the road

Club Price
4.99 lb
Price Valid 11/20/11 - 11/24/11
What if one of the commercial boats went out and just sold to walk-up dock customers instead of the wholesalers? I think they would make a killing and sell out of crabs the first day.
As of Monday (11/21) at noon, it looks as if the crabbers aren't going out until after Thanksgiving. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think this may have something to do with more than just a slight disagreement in the wholesale price.
The northern Dungeness season from Pt. Arena to the Canadian border has been pushed back to 12/15. That is leaving a lot of the big boats out of Coos Bay or Portland pretty peeved. Traditionally, they've come down into our fishery for the first two weeks of the season and grabbed all the (mixing metaphors here) lowhanging fruit before heading back north for the start of their own season.
I'm unclear what the net effect will be of delaying the season. But I'll bet it has something to do with the longstanding friction between the big boats from the north and our local fleet.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
Sushi Monster
re: Sushi Monster
Makes sense to me. Fishermen are territorial and the big boats from the North suck in a lot of product and then just leave. I don't have a problem with some regional territorialism, even if I have to wait a bit. Big boats with long range are a big part of why there's over-fishing.
re: Sushi Monster
How would the local crab boats striking for higher prices stop the out-of-area boats from coming in?
re: Robert Lauriston
1) The big out-of-state boats need to count on a local wholesale market for the short time they're down here. If there is no wholesale market, there is no reason to come down.
2) The shorter the window for them to work our fishery before their own opens, the less attractive it is to make the multi-day shlep down and back. They have fixed prices for fuel, etc and won't come down here for a very short time unless it's profitable to make the trip.
Those are my ideas. I may be completely out of my depth on this.
Sushi Monster
re: Sushi Monster
I've read that the big boats freeze what they catch.
re: Robert Lauriston
That may well be, Robert. As I said, I'm just speculating.
With finite cold-store or well space onboard, would that not severely limit their capacity? It seems a stretch that any crabber would cruise 400 nautical miles for one or two days load, then turn around and go home ...
The shorter the window they have down here the less attractive the trek is as a pure economic proposition.
Saw this in sfist: http://sfist.com/2011/11/18/dungeness...
'Brief updates from Fisherman's Wharf today, where the ongoing pricing dispute between crab fisherman and the seafood processors threatens to damage crustacean-based Thanksgiving dishes. One local fish market owner told SFoodie today that an agreement could still be a few days away, meaning the first shipments won't come pouring in to area seafood emporiums until the Monday after Thanksgiving.
If you need a place to direct your crabbiness, apparently you can't blame the local dstributors, who agreed to the $2.50 per pound price awhile back. It's the big processors that are holding out for a $2 rate holding up the whole deal. Anyway, on the bright side, the crabs will just be bigger and fatter when the crabbers start hauling them in.'
re: timeo
To add to Timeo's post....this from usafishing.com:
"The commercial fleet remains tied up and continues to refuse the low ball offer from the buyers. While the commercial fleet is made up of many individuals the commercial buyers are an assortment of one huge corporation that controls the entire west coast market and many smaller buyers who have said they would support the 2.50 per pound price (demanded by the local crab association) but can't due to this one enterprise. In short they can lose their shirt if they meet the harvester's price demand and this huge corporation then undercuts the price. (There have been multiple anti trust lawsuits over the years against this entity but small individual boat owner and other buyers continue to get out gunned, out lawyered and out moneyed by this multi-million dollar corporation).
So the commercial boats continue to sit with crew who would much rather be fishing or at least spend the Thanksgiving holiday with the their families. With no price agreement it does not look like there will be any Thanksgiving crab available to the markets. If you are looking for crabs you will have to either book a party boat trip or set your own gear as there are no more meetings planned between buyers and harvesters."
re: baron45
Who is this huge entity? Pacific Seafood? It will be such a disappointment to not have fresh crab with Thanksgiving dinner. I hope the fishermen get the price they are asking for. "Occupy the Processor" What do we want? LiveCrab! When do we want it? NOW!
re: hawaii92
Now that's my kind of movement.
re: baron45
You're telling me there is exactly one wholesaler that covers the entire west coast and controls the price? That's illegal!
re: bbulkow
Would you be surprised if it was a few wholesalers colluding?
re: alpiner
I read on a fishing forum that there was no recent progress except for another meeting on Tuesday. Another guy chimed in and wrote that the buyers offered $2.25/lb and the offer was only good for 24 hrs but it was declined.
re: hawaii92
That's ok... going out on an open charter tomorrow to catch my own!
re: alpiner
Still no pots dropped. It looks like Tues or Wed.
re: hawaii92
Charter today brought in 210 crabs from 5 pots, and everyone caught their limit of rock fish and a couple of ling cod.... (the crab is delicious!)
re: alpiner
alpiner, was this on the New Huck Finn?
re: baron45
re: alpiner
alpiner, I officially have crab envy. What boat did you go with? Sounds like a lot of fun. If there is still no crab fishing by next weekend I may go and catch some myself too.
re: hawaii92
New Huck Finn, Capn' Jay. I have to say too that the majority of my fellow fishermen/women - all strangers to us - were good people to be around too.
Breaking news (thanks Jaz)
Edited to add:
re: Melanie Wong
Yah! Great news.
re: theSauce
I came here to post the good news - this forum is on it!!!!
re: alpiner
I just called Ranch 99 in El Cerritto. They still don't have any crab.... Not sure where else to try at this point. Anyone seen any markets in the East bay with some?
re: techindahaus
Two sightings today in the East Bay/Berkeley posted in this more specific thread minutes ago.
re: Melanie Wong
Pillar Pt hotline said they had boats selling crab off the docks Tuesday already.
re: baron45
any word on what the price is off the docks?
re: hawaii92
4 bucks
re: techindahaus
FoodNet Chinese market in San Leandro $3.99 lb for live ones and they look pretty big. Safeway will have cooked, cracked and cleaned crabs tomorrow. They currently have B1G1F deal @ $9.99 lb.
re: Windy
$11 for a half, $19 or $20 for a whole. They said they'll keep prices low for another week or so and then maybe add a dollar or two. It was juicy and bib worthy. I got it with garlic white wine sauce. Very content. Service couldn't be friendlier.
Note that only the crab entree and cioppino use local crab. The stuffed artichoke uses WA dungeness.
re: Windy
We've moved a thread with recipe suggestions to the Home Cooking board, at http://www.chow.com/topics/822238
TigerFish Sportfishing from their Facebook page:
Dungeness Crab will be available throughout the season on a pre-order basis for $3.50 per pound. The crabs are roughly 2 pounds. $7-8 each. Call or email with your order. (650) 455.9599 or firstname.lastname@example.com
In the past they've sold crabs at the pier in Emeryville one day a week. I asked but haven't gotten a reply what their schedule will be this year.
re: Ruth Lafler
I bought some last year at the Emeryville dock during the workweek.
I'm guessing they are out at sea and thus haven't replied.
re: Ruth Lafler
I just emailed them to inquire about a large order of crab for this Saturday, 12/17, and they said they would try. They'll call me back on Friday if they have secured my order they said. They quoted $4.00/lb for 2 lbs and over.
re: rubadubgdub
Tigerfish Sportfishing from their Facebook page:
Get your New Year's Eve Dungeness Crab for $5.00 per pound. Pre-orders only. 650.455.9599 or email@example.com
re: rubadubgdub
I ended up getting $3.50 for my preorder on 12/17, thanks to CH info about their Facebook offer. They said really only sell on a preorder basis, so you do have to contact them in advance, but that there is no minimum.
re: nicedragonboy
Somewhere between $5-6 per /lbs. the same at Tokyo Market. Good quality. Very sweet.
re: nicedragonboy
Here's the thread to monitor for price info,
Dungeness crab prices for '11
And be aware that the prices usually shoot up dramatically at most places right before Christmas, which would include your friday. So best to call to check if you're counting on a certain price point.
re: nicedragonboy
I thought I saw 3.99 last Thursday/Friday.
They were 3.69/lb at Lucky Seafood in Oakland Chinatown on Saturday -- 2 big tanks

Silica impregnated polymer monolithic columns may provide a simple method for lysing and extracting DNA from bacteria inside of microfluidic chips. Here we use Escherichia coli as a test organism for a point of care thermoplastic microfluidic module designed to take in a urine sample, mix it with lysis buffer, and perform a hybrid chemical/mechanical lysis and solid phase extraction of nucleic acids from the sample. To demonstrate proof-of-concept, we doped human hematuric urine samples with E. coli at concentrations ranging from 101–105 colony-forming units/mL (CFU/mL) to simulate patient samples. We then performed on-chip lysis and DNA extraction. The bacterial DNA was amplified using real-time PCR demonstrating lysis and isolation down to 101 CFU/mL. Results were comparable to a commercial kit at higher concentrations and performed better at recovering DNA at lower concentrations.

- Cinch1Cinch1VIPDined on 11/12/2014I have been here 6 times in the last year. I have enjoyed it each time. The food is excellent with interesting menu. The setting is lovely and feels like Southeast Asia. Service is always the best. I would highly recommend this restaurant !Special Features:
- delicious Vietnamese fareVisitingParentsDined on 11/9/2014We particularly enjoyed the crispy pork rolls and "chicken salad" and the spectacular desserts in Le Colonial's delightful ambience.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing food!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 11/9/2014We were a party of three...the server was not as charming as I would have liked but, he was polite at least...not very happy that day. Anyway, the food was just amazing. The flavors were just superb. I don't really care that the server was not spectacular....when we tasted the food it was all that mattered. It would have been a complete dining experience if the server was having a better day...he was Bulgarian...I remember that part. Regardless...my husband and I will be back. Thank you.Special Features:
- NeedquietDined on 11/4/2014Go to Le Colonial for a very good meal that's different, in an attractive setting, with good service, and a level of noise that is low enough to have a conversation without losing your voice. A treat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could not be betternanabyteDined on 11/2/2014We had close friends visiting from EU, and came to our favorite place for a farewell dinner. They are not always impressed by NY restaurants, but loved this one, as do we. It was a delight. Great food, great atmosphere, and most of all, a warm and hospitable staff that made the evening special. This is our "go to" place for special occasions!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedHowardVIPDined on 11/2/2014We've been here before and we're always satisfied until Sunday night. I was told they were out of the beer that I wanted so I ordered a glass of the house merlot. I got a third of a glass of a wine and didn't say anything. When the dinner was finished my wife asked if the still participated in the discount program with 59E59 theater. We were told that they didn't do it anymore. Then I got the bill and was shocked to see that they charged me $17 for the third of a glass of wine. This was supposed to be the house Merlot not chateau Rothschild . I later discovered that they do still offer that discount. My mistake was in not saying anything. Despite the quality of the food I won't be going back.
- Haute VietNonameReviewerVIPDined on 10/31/2014It's amazing how they have created a French colonial-era atmosphere in NYC. The food is haute Viet, with dishes I recognize from Viet Nam but with slightly different ingredients. The aubergine appetizer was stunning, with slices of small eggplant over a shrimp/crab base. My only quibble was with the pork "shoulder," which was clearly tenderloin and which was served with too much of its soy-based sauce. A dish in Viet Nam would never be this salty. Overall, the experience and the food were wonderful, with attentive service.Special Features:
- Things ChangeStanleymanlyVIPDined on 10/30/2014There has been a significant change at the top and it impacts your experience at LeColonial. When you change the maitre d' and the chef and the prices on your wine list, it can be jolting to the regulars. The new maitre d' seems friendly enough, eager to please. You could see and taste the subtle differences in the menu and the appearance and taste of the food. The classic pho for example: the broth was thinner, less flavorful, the noodles carelessly stuck together. The seared salmon was fine, but it was lonely on the plate. Our waiter had a tough time explaining the shrimp in rice paper appetizer and it arrived looking like sushi and heavy on the basil, not one of my wife's favorite ingredients. The wine list was seriously over-priced.I would recommend this to a friend.
- simply greatExellentVIPDined on 10/30/2014Amaizing east mid town place to be. Superb food and service, started with drinks in the lounge, and then full dinner. Took advantage of the very well placed wine list, service was impeccable, great recomedations. It have been ahwile since i saw manager/owner stop by and speak with every single table in the restaurant, no wonder why they succeed to stay on top of the gae for over 20 years. i will definitely be back for more great food and fun.Special Features:

- Just OK....nothing more.VermontersDined on 10/24/2014It was our first night in NYC and friends suggested Le Colonial. Convenient location but nothing more. Food was mediocre and not worth the price. We also tried one of their signature drinks....just fair.
- Elegant Vietnamese FoodEastWestFoodieDined on 10/21/2014Lovely restaurant and beautifully done and elegant Vietnamese food. I am Vietnamese and know good Vietnamese food when I have it. This was true to tradition but also stepped up a level to match the lovely and elegant setting. A real treat, perfect lunch and I look forward to visiting again.Special Features:
- Romantic InterludeRumDogDined on 10/19/2014I love Le Colonial. Have been there three times over a 15 year span, and it is always charming. The food and service are very good, but the ambience is truly special. French Vietnam circa 1954. Like stepping back into a Graham Green novel. Or if you're with a romantic partner, like inhabiting the scenes from The Lover, the gorgeous erotic movie made from the Marguerite Duras novel of the same name. The aubergine appetizer with baby shrimp was both complex and subtle, and the beef stew and duck entrees were stellar. And the finish of honeydew sorbet and fresh cinnamon ice cream was other-worldly. We felt like we'd been on a journey to another place and another time. MemorableSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great atmosphereLilibirdDined on 10/18/2014This is a favorite. Start with a drink in the beautiful bar upstairs. The mood is mellow but sophisticated and lively without being loud. Then the dinner downstairs is in an equally great setting with just the right balance of a lively environment without being loud. The food is great and doesn't make you feel like you've eaten too much. Great wine list.Special Features:
- ExcellentMArioDined on 10/17/2014Food is tasty, well presented and never too overwhelming.Special Features:
- Perfect date nightExcellentVIPDined on 10/17/2014Everything from the appetizers (Pho was excellent) to the main courses was extraordinary. The service was professional and courteous. We were seated promptly at our reservation time of 8pm. Highly recommend the sea bass - the servers suggestion of rice was spot on - it really helped soak up the sauce. The wine list was good but limited. Not a complaint just what I noticed and we found a great Boudreaux.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What's the hurry?ShyDiVIPDined on 10/17/2014We had an early reservation 6:45 and perhaps they were trying to turn the table quickly? Food was served promptly and cleared while I was still chewing! Inexcusable! Food was good but we Felt very rushed. Not a relaxing meal.Special Features:
- Never disappointsLouiseVIPDined on 10/13/2014Stepping into Le Colonial is like finding yourself in Southeast Asia. The decor, the ambiance and the mood transport, the service is outstanding, the food never disappoints. There is a prix fixe menu with many of the same dishes on the a la carte menu but I love the aubergines appetizer on the regular menu (now prepared in a new way but tasting just as good as ever) and the salmon, served as the chef thinks appropriate (medium rare). All items are reasonably priced and the atmosphere makes one want to return again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just a little shortMaddiVIPDined on 10/11/2014Appetizer was very good but main course and dessert were just bland.
- Overall great!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/10/2014The tables were small and only two waiters in fairly large restaurant so It was hard to get their attention. The food was hit and miss. There were four of us and each ordered an appetizer and an entree. It was random, someone's appetizer was totally generic and the other was phenomenal. The ambiance is fun and they have a great selection of wines.Special Features:
- dsgnchickVIPDined on 10/8/2014this restaurant has been around for a long time, and the food has remained consistently good. my shrimp and scallop dish with vegetable slaw was delicious, as was the monkfish appetizer make into an entree. the service was quick, but a tad pushy (constantly offering more drinks before we halfway done with the existing)Special Features:
- DisappointingMadamexDined on 10/5/2014I was so excited to learn that the chef from Le Bernadin was working at this restaurant. The food was sadly mediocre. The pho, a signature dish, was lukewarm, the okra was greasy, and the shrimp chips were barely edible. Over all it was a very uninspired meal from a restaurant that we used to enjoy frequenting.
- Pleasant ExperiencePoppisgirlsDined on 10/4/2014The place was wonderful. Excellent food and service that was very much enjoyed without all the noise that you usually hear in most restaurants that size.Special Features:

- ClassicWineguy7Dined on 10/3/2014There is an understated elegance to the food and ambiance here, with its embodiment of the French colonial period in Southeast Asia. The indigenous flavors have been tamed by French technique and restraint, but not neutered, and the concise menu is filled with dishes whose description inspire a robust appetite. Meat and seafood offerings are turned out with equal skill. Worth the visit!Special Features:

- A sure bet...DominiqueDined on 9/20/2014I have been quite a few times over the years to Le Colonial for business lunches, but that was my first time for dinner. And I was not disappointed. Food is excellent and creative, service is impeccable and attentive. The decor of an old colonial mansion is fairly relaxing. I's a tad expensive, but worth it.Special Features:
- Great foodRudy2411Dined on 9/19/2014Went with a friend from Singapore to an oriental restaurant - always a challenge, but Le Colonial was a good pick. Innovative fusion menu with reasonable vegetarian choices. Must confess it has a somewhat 'senior' vibe - but then the name is Le Colonial !Special Features:
- Would like to go againMcDeeDined on 9/19/2014We had desert and coffee at old fashion bar up stairs where is more quiet. The food was very nice and a bit over priced. It was surprising they didn't have coffee beans for Sambuca.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- interview dinnerSallyGirlDined on 9/19/2014We chose the restaurant as it is traditionally good for conversation, with great food and service. This evening we were seated very close to a table which hosted individuals with rather loud voices. I understand that this is not the norm here. Additionally, the service seemed less seamless than normal. We will most certainly continue to consider this a great place to go for great food, and assume that it was just an odd off night. As always, the food was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/19/2014I loved the Le Colonial in San Francisco and thought that this would be equally good bit was disappointed. The food is fine, but nothing great.

This ought to be the best days of my life as I discovered something entirely different from what I've known all along about the Philippines. I guess my companions shall agree with me.
Ah, Sagada… how do I begin? There aren't enough words to describe it. The positive energy just spreads all over town and whenever I reminisce about Sagada, I become speechless yet my mind starts wandering to this utterly beautiful place. I wonder how the charm of this quaint town brought about some peacefulness even to the most restless soul.
Sagada is located at the Mountain Province of North Luzon. It is a town of 10 municipalities, nestling in the middle of a valley at the upper end of Malitep Tributary of the Chico River, 1,500 meters above sea level. Its lofty little town, dirt-free air, and sights of towering pine trees, for every visitor, represents an ambiance of tranquility & peaceful life.

Written by Wendy Karpel Kreitzman Friday, 25 March 2011 00:00
Mindful of the tough economic climate and the possibility of a state government imposed 2 percent tax cap in the future, the Great Neck Public Schools Board of Education has proposed a 1.99 percent budget increase that would bring the 2011-2012 school district budget to $193,324,596.
For this proposed budget, $182,231,882 will have to be raised by real property tax, amounting to 94.26 percent of budget revenue. Only $6,574,023 is expected from state aid, which now only accounts for 3.40 percent of the budget. The rest of the budget revenue, 2.34 percent, is listed as "miscellaneous."
Once again, for the 2011-2012 school year, the major portion of funding goes to teaching —- 73.77 percent for instruction. Capital projects account for 0.96 percent of the budget; buildings and grounds receives 11.02 percent; adult education and recreation receives a 1.92 percent of the allocation of funds; 4.52 percent would go for general support; 6.47 percent of the budget would be for transportation; and 1.34 percent would go towards debt service.
Opening the March 14 budget hearing, the first informal budget hearing for the 2011-2012 preliminary working budget, Board Trustee Lawrence Gross, chair of the board's finance committee, stating that the school budget is one of the few budgets in the state that is actually voted on by the public.
Mr. Gross said that the budget process began back in September, beginning in the schools. He said that many staff members participate in the budget process, as well as parents and members of the community who choose to become involved. Mr. Gross spoke of the strong community support for the school budget because the school board and the district is "very open" and the educational programs are exceptional.
Mr. Gross stated that the school district's educational programs are geared to "meet the individual needs of each student." And he said that "the budget will allow this." But, in another vein, he also stated that "these are extraordinarily difficult economic times" and so the school district has "worked very hard to reflect that."
At that point Mr. Gross noted that the budget is increased due to many items (such as pensions and health care benefits) that are not under the control of the district. "We recognize that our funds come from our own taxpayers and we are concerned," he said.
Mr. Gross then reviewed some information, and some numbers, included in the budget (which is available to the public). During this discussion he noted that the district "makes every effort" to bring special education students back into the school district, and this, he said, is very successful and generally better education-wise and more economical too.
Again, stating that the school board understands the economic pressure everyone is experiencing, Mr. Gross emphasized that the school board's role is to put the education program for the children first. Additionally, he stressed the importance of the district's adult education program, which he termed "vital for the life of the community."
Trustee Donald Ashkenase, who also serves on the board's finance committee, reported on the possibility of a tax cap. He explained that the governor and the state senate both support a 2 percent tax cap (except for capital projects), a cap that would, if also approved by the assembly, come into effect in the 2012-2013 budget. And, as a result, the Board of Education decided to keep to this possible cap and come up with a budget increase that would not top 2 percent.
This, Mr. Ashkenase explained, is quite difficult in lieu of a mandated over $4-and-a-half million for employee benefits. The direct result of this is the need to cut that same amount from the budget. "It will be a real challenge next year if the tax cap is enacted by the legislature," Mr. Ashkenase said. And he noted that State Senator Jack Martins has been a "leader" in working towards mandate relief.
At that point, Board of Education President Barbara Berkowitz noted that Senator Martins had met with the school board and that he had "gotten guidance" from the board and from Superintendent of Schools Tom Dolan. Ms. Berkowitz also emphasized that a tax cap "is not possible without mandate relief," or there would be a "tremendous impact" on the district's programs.
Dr. Dolan said that the upcoming budget required "lots of hard work," making reductions in areas such as security, supplies, materials, non-instructional aides, transportation, and more. There was also a $500,000 building reduction and the retirement of 17 teachers also reduced expenses. Also, there was savings from last year's retirement of 43 teachers (due to a retirement incentive).
Dr. Dolan also noted the savings from SAGES (supervisors and administrators) having frozen its salary schedule for the second year in a row. And he spoke of the district using "hard numbers" and if a "cushion" was utilized, this could be done only once.
As for any program changes due to the tight budget, Dr. Dolan said that any program changes would have "little impact" on the educational programs. He said that the district is still able to offer the same program, but they have cut all they can and "the only answer left is mandate relief."
"We will be fine through this year, other school districts are not so fine; but we will need help next year," Dr. Dolan stated.
Ms. Berkowitz echoed the superintendent, saying that she is "reassured that this year the children's days will be the same." But, she added, "We don't know what's gong to happen next year."
When asked about class size, Dr. Dolan firmly stated: "We are not looking at larger class size." Small class size has long been the hallmark of the Great Neck Public Schools and its Board of Education.
At the end of the budget discussion, the general consensus of the audience was in support of the 1.99 percent budget increase.
"We will find a way to do more with less," Ms. Berkowitz stated.

The last couple years have seen a noticeable upswing in the popularity of "hipster rap" -- or, in layman's terms, "rap that doesn't sound like it's from 1994, so it's probably all fake and shit". But while I'm leery of the notion of a bunch of entitled dirtbag punk-rock preppies bringing a Vice aesthetic to the greatest popular art form of the last three decades, rest assured that Los Angeles duo the Knux aren't perpetrating anything that loathsome. Sure, they love TV on the Radio, they name-check Elvis Costello, and their album Remind Me in 3 Days has more than its share of new-new-wave guitar riffs. But brothers Krispy Kream and Rah Al Millio, who moved to L.A. from New Orleans after Katrina hit, have strong hints of that same earthy yet quick-witted Southern swagger heard in those great mid '90s OutKast and Goodie Mob records, combined with the inventive cross-genre weirdness that Andre 3000 and Cee-Lo started honing by the early 2000s. Like most transplants to the City of Angels, they're staggered by the excess and flash of their new surroundings, and they depict it with debauched but reflective lyrics and a self-produced, modern style-hopping eclecticism that's rare in debut albums. With Shwayze; Krista. 16+.

In order to understand how the orbital velocities of stars in a binary
system are determined, you must first understand the Doppler effect.
The light that we see can be thought of as waves in the electromagnetic
field. The wavelength (or distance from one wave crest to the next) of light
is very small... ranging from four to seven ten-millionths of a meter. The
different wavelengths of light are what the human eye sees as different
colors, with the longest wavelengths appearing at the red end of the
spectrum and the shortest wavelengths at the blue end.
Now imagine a source of light at a constant distance from us... say a star.
The star emits light at a constant wavelength and we receive the light here on
Earth at the same constant wavelength. Now suppose that the star starts to
move toward us. When the source emits the next wave, it will be slightly
nearer to us, so the distance between wave crests will be smaller than when
the star was stationary. This means that the wavelength of the waves we
receive on Earth is shorter than what we saw from the stationary star.
Correspondingly, if the star is moving away from us, the wavelength of the
waves we receive will be slightly longer. In the case of light, this means
that a star moving toward us will have its spectrum shifted toward the blue
end of the spectrum (blue-shifted) and stars moving away from us will have
their spectrum red-shifted. The relationship between the amount of the shift
and the velocity at which the source is moving is called the Doppler equation.
When the velocity is small (relative to the speed of light), the
equation simplifies to:
source velocity/speed of light = change in wavelength/rest wavelength
Now let us think about two stars in a binary system. Let us take a
"bird's eye" view, that is, let us look down from above the
system and the Earth-observer. It might look something like this:
On one side of the orbit, the star is moving toward us and on the other
side of the orbit, it is moving away from us. This is all we need to have a
Doppler shift, which can then tell us how fast the star is moving!

- The video element DOM API: properties, methods, events
- CSS3 and the video element: transformations, image filters, etc.
- Video and Canvas interactions: take a snapshot, modify in real time the video content, video incrustation, etc.
- Live video stream: the getUsermedia API (webcam control)
- Adding subtitles with the track element
- The audio element: overview, attributes, codec support, etc.
- The audio element DOM API: properties, methods, events – again with many examples provided
- Introduction to the Web Audio API (for real time audio, games, Web applications for musicians)
Week 3: Drawing and Animating Graphics with HTML5 Canvas
The "canvas" tag is one of the "Flash killer" features of HTML5. During this week, we focus on the fundamental drawing capabilities offered by the HTML5 Canvas. This content material notably covers the following:
- Basic usage, quick start with the Canvas JavaScript API
- Drawing lines, arcs, paths, curves, images
- Colors, gradients, patterns, shadows, and setting up other drawing attributes
- Drawing images, images from videos in real time, clipping
- Advanced techniques: geometric transformations, saving and restoring contexts
- Pixel level control of the canvas content, drawing modes, etc.
- Stacking canvas in layers, canvas events, animating canvas content
This week ends with an ssignment that will let you draw and animate!
Week 4: HTML5 Forms
This week, we will look at HTML5 forms. Forms did not go through any improvement since 1997. HTML5 brings 13 new types of input fields, attributes, and other elements related to forms as well as a new JavaScript validation API. We will look at all of these features in this section of the course:
- New input types: color, date, range, etc.
- New attributes: required, pattern, placeholder, formnovalidate, etc.
- New elements related to forms: datalist, output, meter, progress, etc.
- Validation: CSS pseudo classes for visual feedback, form validation API, etc.
Week 5: HTML5 New APIs – DOM API, geolocation, WebWorkers, orientation and deviceMotion APIs
This week, we will introduce several new APIs that are not necessarily associated to any particular HTML5 element. They are:
- The DOM API, which has been extended and updated with the new getElementsByClassName, querySelector, querySelectorAll and matches methods, the classlist interface, etc.,
- The new geolocation API implemented by most modern Web browsers. Location data is collected in different ways: GPS, GSM/3G triangulation, Wifi, IP address, etc.,
- The orientation and deviceMotion APIs that are targeted to mobile devices,
- The WebWorker API for adding multi-threading to the JavaScript in HTML5 Web applications.
This week ends with an assignment that allows to put into practice the HTML5 forms and geolocation API.
Week 6: Drag'n'Drop and Persistence
During the final week of this course, we will address the drag'n'drop API that is often used in conjonction with the File API. We will also look at other persistence APIs such as Local Storage, Session Storage, cache API and the IndexDB database.
- The DOM storage API: local storage and session storage
- The new Cache API: overview and examples
- IndexedDB: overview, basic concepts, working with data, etc.
This week ends with an assignement on persistence.
How do I get a certificate and a badge of completion?
The course includes 4 practical tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) that all need to be completed satisfactorily if you want to receive a certificate of completion and a badge*.
* What is a badge? A digital badge is an online representation of a skill you've earned. Using Mozilla's Open Badges infrastructure, W3DevCampus issues badges backed by our own seal of approval. Learners can then collect badges from different W3C courses and display them across the Web — on their resumes, Web sites, social networking profiles, job sites and more. Create your backpack and start collecting badges from W3C Training.
Who should attend?
[Intermediate and advanced levels]
- Web developers and content authors ready to update their skills with HTML5
- Web designers
- Mobile Web developers
- Beginning to intermediate programmers with basic Web knowledge who want to learn new skills
Why HTML5 is worth your time? Because:
- HTML5, CSS and JavaScript are the "classic three" for developers and designers
- HTML5 is really HTML + new elements and attributes + many JavaScript APIs + CSS3
What do I need?
Ideally, as well as a desktop or laptop computer, you should have access to:
- A text editor (for HTML, CSS, Javascript). We recommend using your favorite one but the author of this course likes the "sublime text" editor.
- Facilities for putting documents online. Most of the examples from this course are hosted on the http://jsbin.com Web site, an online HTML/CSS/JavaScript IDE you can use to test/develop/host small webapps. You can use this service for publishing most of the assignements you will be asked for in this course. (Or you may use other online IDEs such as http://jsfiddle.net).
Or you can use any other kind of hosting service. We recommend you consider using one of the many free web hosting services available such as x10hosting and Free Web Hosting Area (there are many others to choose from too). These are limited accounts (they're free!) but they should allow you sufficient flexibility to complete the course.
You also need to be familiar with:
- HTML: just be comfortable putting together an HTML document, assigning IDs and classes, and other such basic tasks.
- CSS: in this course, minimal familiarity with CSS is asked – no need to be an able graphics designer.
- DOM: extensive knowledge of the DOM is not necessary, but the ability to work with some of its more basic methods (getElementById, appendChild, etc.) is required.
- JavaScript: basic knowledge is sufficient, such as how to embed some JS code in a Web page, how to handle events, and how to do some basic DOM processing. Note that we have included a JavaScript crash course in the new September 2013 course.
For more information, see How does this work?

There's a lot going on in Brazil tomorrow.
The country is hosting game one of the FIFA World Cup, celebrating Valentines Day, all while their streets are flooded with protesters.
There's usually an undeniable love for the game of soccer in Brazil, but many on the streets are protesting just that.
Matheus Batistussi, Lucas Luna and Felipe Toldedo are UW-Madison students from Brazil. With school out, the 2014 soccer World Cup has been on their brains.
"Every child plays soccer in Brazil, so as we grow we always watch the world cup," said Luna.
Hosted by their home country, tomorrow is game one, and also Valentine's Day back home.
"People were making fun on the internet, saying that it's the first time women will enjoy watching soccer with men because of the World Cup and Valentines Day in Brazil," said Toldedo.
But the love may not spread to all. In a country where everyone grows up playing soccer, many are protesting on the streets. They are upset the country is spending taxpayer money on the games, when it could be used for other things.
"The country is very divided. There are some people that really don't want the world cup to be a good event," said Luna.
Amanda Souza lives outside the Belo Horizonte in Brazil. She has seen the changes on her streets with this year's World Cup.
"The people who live here isn't so excited like world cups before because you don't see on the streets many ornaments of Brazil being sold at stores like we used to do in the past ," said Souza.
The boys are proud Brazilians are gaining a voice, but believe now is the time to welcome visitors and fans.
"It's not the time to protest now, during the World Cup. They had like 7 years before the world cup starts to protest," said Batistussi.
They're excited to represent their country and watch the games.
"We're gonna be with a bunch of people watching the World Cup. We'll probably go watch in the bars, state street or university avenue," said Luna.
They say if anyone sees them out watching a game, they hope they'll ask to join them.
They believe that the world watching won't see the protests, but the welcoming and loving country of Brazil.
This World Cup, Wisconsin only has a two hour time difference with Brazil.
The host country will kick off the first game tomorrow, they'll face Croatia.

NSA spied on US aid workers, officers, and journalists in Baghdad
The US National Security Agency routinely spied on the phone calls of American military officers, journalists, and aid workers calling back home from Iraq, according to two former NSA operators. The whistle blowers told ABC News that intercept officers listened to the personal conversations of hundreds of Americans "who are …
"What he finds disturbing about the report is open to interpretation."
And it's pretty obvious too: he finds disturbing is that people are talking about this, since he sure thinks they should just shut up and go away and let the Bushies do whatever they want. Obviously.
Not Shocking
Anyone surprised by No Such Agency involved in this kind of indiscriminate wire tapping needs to wake up and smell the coffee. It happens and it happens quite often and to a degree that never makes the news.
Americans only
All the objections are to them listening to the personal conversations of 'Americans' with no reason. If they listen to perfectly innocent foreigners there's no objection whatever.
Europe has human rights. So does the US - it's just that only US citizens count as human.
I find it disturbing too.
Revisionist Christianity has no place for these peaceniks and hippies. We're all for doing things Jew-style.. kill your enemies, an eye for an eye - literally (you should see our President's collection of eyes) and fine Christian values such as the death penalty, the accumulation of wealth and happy-go-lucky wars.
The Revisionist Testament allows true Christians to spy and wiretap whomever they choose, because Terrorists because real Christians are also mavericks and will get all maverick-y with the Constitution. We're against the dual evils of Washington insiders and human rights.
Remember, the President of the United States is Jesus' Second in Command, it says so in the Bible, right after the bit about talking snakes and a boat large enough to carry two of every species, but before the bit about dinosaurs being dragons and the world being 5000 yrs old.
Know your history
@Christoph NSA was set up for domestic spying. Since the creation of the NSA they spied on Americans and activates that happen in America . Its the CIA that will be spying you Euros. So please continue on about how only Americans have humans rights and not the rest of the world does, when this agency was created to spy on Americans and not the rest of the world.
Equal Under Law
We used to accept that Government and it's agencies were equal under the law to an individual. such that a transgression by a Governement or an agency could be adequately prosecuted under criminal law or judged in civil suit. Why is that no longer so?
"Europe has human rights. So does the US - it's just that only US citizens count as human."
It's nice being American. Except for the whole you-only-have-rights-until-you-do-something-that-irks-someone-with-authority part. Or the whole privacy-is-an-illusion thing.
US Constitution = lawmaker toilet paper.
Black helicopter and posted AC for the same reason.
(I really do see black helicopters flying over my neighborhood somewhat frequently. Literal, black helicopters. Please, send help.)
Re: J
Sad but true... well, more like, brown trousers time but true
I swear I never looked behind the curtain!
-Dashes for coat-
Probably UK as well..
Given the powers the Government has given itself (AFAIK using the same excuse) I wouldn't be surprised if it happened in the UK as well.
Plenty of excuses: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/09/policing_internet_one/
Salon Kitty?
What was the name of the officer behind the idea of the sex scandal in the book: "Private Schultz"?
Domestic versus foreign wiretapping
Most of the protection is supposed to relate to *domestic* calls - spying on phone calls in a foreign country is a very different matter. Did anyone expect them to go and try to get a warrant from an Iraqi court first? Come on, the NSA monitoring what's going on in Baghdad should hardly come as a surprise to anyone!
And politicians too
Look, Bush/Cheney created a warrantless surveillance program, he also stuffed the NSA with his cronies. So naturally those cronies had a look at what politicians are up to. They're only human! I Betcha.
The fix is to have: reasonable suspicion, a judicial process and THEN surveillance with warrant.
So if UK goes ahead and creates a warrantless surveillance program, naturally it will be abused. Just like RIPA is abused, just like anti-terror laws are abused, THEY'RE ONLY HUMAN!
Haven't we heard this before?
"It was just always, that, you know, your job is not to question"
Or, to put it another way, "I vos only obeying orders."
So: will any other govt snooping be different ?
With out own govt: going to start keeping all email/text/...; keeping records of car journeys; DNA; ... how many of these are going to be used for: entertainment; personal profit; snooping on neighbour/lover/ex-lover/partners business rival/... ?
This is ''what we have got to hide'' and why we must stop govt snooping.
every time i see that name, i feel like some one has walked on my grave
So what is the reason for these people coming forward now? Maybe it's just me being cynical but I can't help thinking there must be some motive here - I mean come on, they clearly had no problem with it at the time. Have they recently left or something like that?
I'm no fan of the way the world is going down the tube, but I'm pretty sceptical when people make revelations about things they were involved in (especially when they're clearly admitting their guilt) for the good of the people... That's just not how most people work!
I was only following orders
So the Bush admin knows nothing and the operators are just doing their jobs without question. No news there.
@kain preacher: Trouble is you septics fail to distinguish "the world" from outer America. In fact, I think A-Q's main problem is something like that (or was it the pr0n-laden web? I think we should be told).
I've also been seeing those big black helicopters ..!
A Mighty Wizard
Perhaps it should have been called Project Palantir?
Do we assume...
...that all of the equipment at GCHQ is being used to watch The Two Ronnies on UK Gold?
Nothing to see here
Move along. nothing at all. We have it all under control. Papers please, citizen!
Down here in Kiwiland, we have a big American communication monitor/ spy centre . Those big spherical radar looking things, that apparently pick up signals well because of our location.
Nice to know we are in on all this cloak and dagger spy business.
Point I was making is the NSA is a secret police design to spy on Americans. Hell for the longest time the gov denied they even existed.

Each year, heart disease is at the top of the list of the country's most serious health problems. In fact, statistics show that cardiovascular disease is America's leading health problem, and the leading cause of death. Consider the most recent statistics released by the American Heart Association:
Approximately 84 million people in this country suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, causing about 2,200 deaths a day, averaging one death every 40 seconds.
Almost one out of every three deaths results from cardiovascular disease.
The direct and indirect costs of cardiovascular disease and stroke are about $315 billion. This figure is increasing every year.
An estimated 15 million U.S. adults have coronary heart disease.
Approximately 78 million U.S. adults have high blood pressure, and an estimated 20 million have diabetes.
It is estimated that an additional 8 million adults have undiagnosed diabetes and 87 million have pre-diabetes.
Heart failure affects well over 5 million U.S. adults.
Cardiovascular disease is the cause of more deaths than cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and accidents combined.
It is a myth that heart disease is a man's disease. In fact, cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer of women (and men).
About one-third of cardiovascular disease deaths occurred before age 75.
On average, someone in the U.S. suffers a stroke every 40 seconds.
Stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability that accounts for more than half of all patients hospitalized for a neurological disease.
Women have a higher lifetime risk of stroke than men.
Approximately 20 percent of U.S. adults smoke cigarettes, costing $193 billion per year.
An estimated 68 percent of U.S. adults are overweight or obese.
When compared with previous trends, the cardiovascular disease death rates have declined, but there are more people suffering from diabetes and obesity.

Glory Road
Glory Road
|James Gartner
|Josh Lucas, James Aaron, Mark Adam, Tatyana Ali
|Release Date:
|Drama, Sports
A former high-school basketball coach led a small West Texas mining universitys team to the 1966 Division I NCAA finals with a roster composed almost entirely of players the top-tier schools didnt heavily recruit: African-American kids from Houston, New York, Detroit, and Gary, Ind. There, the Texas Western Miners faced the lily-white University of Kentucky Wildcats, coached by living legend Adolph Rupp. Throughout the season Texas Western coach Don Haskins and his players faced harassment from university boosters, opposing fans, and freelance bigots who didnt think blacks could handle the pressure, or were skilled or smart enough, to play big-time college ballor should even be on the court. And in a final game that has become sporting myth, the Miners upset the Wildcats 72-65. For fans of cliché-ridden underdog sports flicks, you really dont have to add to something this improbable to make it sing.
Thing is, those ordinary-people-coming-together-to-achieve-extraordinary-things formulas only work when you hit all the right marks, and director James Gartners Glory Road is occasionally so incomprehensible it makes this rousing yarn anticlimactic. Josh Lucas nails Haskins demanding presence, but the script doesnt make him anything more than the cipher to utter the expected linese.g., This is more than just a game nowwith all the conviction of a pizza flier distributor. Worse, so little time is spent developing the playersthe showboating Bobby Joe Hill (Derek Luke), styling big man David Lattin (Schin A.S. Kerr), budding black-power neophyte Willie Worsley (Sam Jones III), talent that needs a push Nevil Shed (Al Shearer), the all-heart Willie Cager (Damaine Radcliff), ball-handling wiz Orsten Artis (Alphonso McAuley), forward Harry Flournoy Jr. (Mechad Brooks)as characters that they all bleed together, becoming little more than the descriptors that appear before their names above.
Granted, uplifting sports movies find their power because there is no I in team, but if filmmakers are going to flaunt dramatic licensehere Haskins comes from a high-school girls team to lead the Miners to the finals in his first season, whereas the real Haskins came to Western from Dumas High School in 1961 as a boys coach, and Western was one of the few Southwest schools routinely recruiting black players from the 1950s onmanipulate the audience to care more, not less. For example, end-credits subtitles impart that many of the teams players stayed in El Paso after graduation, including 1966 finals hero Hill, who didnt play postcollegiate basketball but remained an active community figure until his 2002 death. Nearly 2,000 people attended his funeralthats a testament to the man, not merely the player, and Glory Road fails to touch on who that man might have been.

William Faulkner once said that, The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. This is what Manifest is trying to do by enhancing the role of art in society. This studio works with people in the global and local community, including professionals, students and the public, in order to create meaningful pieces and experiences. Its hope that hundreds of years down the road, even if the gallery and museum is forgotten, the art will live on.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Thursday, November 15, 2012
Wichita Police report that two homes were burglarized in the 3000 block of N. Rushwood Ct on Wednesday during the morning hours.
The homes were vacant at the time of the crimes. Police say the two burglaries appear to be similar because of the close proximity of the homes and the method used to gain entry into the homes.
"Both cases, an unknown person entered the residence by going into the garage, and then forcing open the door that goes from the house to the garage," said Lt. Joe Schroeder, Wichita Police.
Justin Akin lives in the same cul-de-sac as the two homes burglarized. He was inside his home at the time of the incidents and heard about the crimes when his neighbors approached him.
"They were horrified, as anybody would be if somebody intruded into your home and ransacked the place. They overturned everything, so nothing in the house looked like their home," said Akin.
Police said the burglar found an unlocked door to the garage of one of the homes. That garage did not have a door to the inside of the home, therefore the burglar created one.
"They actually found an ax in the garage and busted down one of the drywalls," said Akin.
Once inside, the burglar took cash, jewelry, and small electronics from both the homes. The estimated loss is more than $600 from each home.
Police are reminding residents to lock all doors, leave garage doors down, and report any suspicious activity or individuals in the neighborhood.

A MasterCard NFC payment pilot in Brazil, launched last week with Itaú bank, mobile operator TIM Brasil, point-of-sale terminal supplier Redecard, and France-based Gemalto, is expected to lead to a full rollout of mobile PayPass services in Brazil.
MasterCard Worldwide is reorganizing its mobile-payments effort and team, planning to focus on what it calls "digital convergence," with the aim of "enabling every connected device to be a commerce device," NFC Times has learned.
MasterCard Worldwide and U.S.-based mobile-wallet software supplier C-SAM today announced a partnership and investment by MasterCard, expanding on their earlier working relationship.
NEW ORLEANS – MasterCard today announced its answer to Visa's digital wallet and other wallets planned by competitors, introducing its PayPass Wallet Services.
Israeli-based NFC and contactless company On Track Innovations pushed back its prediction for positive adjusted EBITDA back to the third quarter of 2015 and reduced its estimate for 2014 revenue growth to 10%, down from the 30% it had predicted previously, the company reported in its quarterly earnings call.
Canada-based Kili Technology, which supplies hardware modules, firmware and IP for mobile point of sale, readers and other payment-acceptance devices, has acquired NFC-accessories vendor DeviceFidelity.
NFC Times Exclusive: LAS VEGAS, Nev. – While a number of major U.S. merchants have pledged to only accept one mobile-payments service, that is not the case for giant Subway sandwich chain, which has now introduced at least three major options for its customers to pay with their smartphones.
Las Vegas, Nev. – No single mobile payments provider or platform will dominate the market in the long run, so card networks should adopt a flexible approach, CEOs of two major payment networks, American Express and Discover Financial Services, told attendees at this week's Money 2020 conference.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Softcard CEO Michael Abbott was selling the value of rewards in the telco-owned mobile wallet today during a keynote address at the Money 2020 conference in Las Vegas.
Although Dekkers Davidson, CEO of the big MCX mobile-commerce consortium in the U.S., said the group is working on Bluetooth low energy and NFC, the main technology MCX is expected to launch with next year will still be QR codes.
The MCX Merchant group has confirmed what most insiders already knew: That it has an exclusivity clause for members to only accept mobile payments from its own payments platform.
NFC Times Exclusive: More than 25 Taiwanese banks have signed up to potentially launch NFC mobile-payments services using a TSM platform being launched by a joint venture of three domestic processing and interbank groups.
NFC Times Exclusive: Small financial institutions want their members to be able to use Apple Pay, but would prefer to keep transactions in their own branded mobile applications instead, sources at participating credit unions have told NFC Times.
NXP Semiconductors reported a big jump in sales from its emerging ID unit in the third quarter, thanks to shipments of NFC chips and secure elements to Apple for the tech giant's new iPhones.
NFC Times Exclusive: While NXP Semiconductors won the coveted contract to supply NFC chips and secure elements to Apple for its new iPhone models, it has been cut out of the recent business for Samsung Galaxy handsets, including the Note 4.
NFC Times Exclusive: In what is believed to be one of the first uses for NFC booster technology in NFC phones, the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus feature an amplifier chip enabling a unique antenna design by Apple for its Apple Pay service that launched Monday.
