I am having issues with exporting my FCP short movie to a cd/dvd that will play on both Macs and PCs.
I believe I will have to have two different formats to play on each different system, but the PC version will not work. The picture is shuttering and choppy even on the mac. I have saved in AVI, MPEG-4 and QT version to try and fix my problems, but have come up short. I know in my settings it is set for H.264, which from what I've read is largely a mac deal. So I guess I am look for help to remedy my issue. Please walk me through it because I am new to FCP, and I am not even sure if I am saving it to the correct disk. I am saving it on a CD-R and DVD-R. I appreciate any help. I am shocked I haven't been able to find more advice on the internet. You guys are one of my last threads to sanity. Thanks. |

H.264 is a cross platform, not Mac thing. Actually, it's the technology used in Bluray - see:
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and Blu-ray Disc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Now, it's possible that the persons computer wasn't up to spec, was mis configured, requires a updated codec pack (ie: KLite or CCC pack). H.264 video should play just fine on a properly configured PC. Now, the other thing is, you need to check your bitrate setting - you don't want/need it too high otherwise it can cause problems on slower machines, but you don't want it so low that it causes the image quality to be poor. Otherwise, if you want to make a DVD to place on a Mac, PC or a stand alone DVD player, just export from FCE to a Quicktime Movie then import it into a tool like iDVD or MovieGate.

What would you suggest I export them to? Will FCP videos or any videos export and play off a CD-R? I wouldn't think so since it is a CD, but I'm a newb at this working with high end technology. We are importing all this video from a Canon 5D Mark II. If that helps any. |

Ok, so you imported the video from a 5DMkII and have it in Final Cut - you mention FCP (which I think I misread as FCE before lol) so you should have Final Cut Studio and all of the relevant packages in it (Compressor, Motion, DVDStudio Pro, etc.).
What I'd suggest - export the movie from Final Cut Pro to a self contained quicktime movie. Mpegstreamclip (easier to use) Make sure you have MPegStreamClip installed Launch MPegStreamClip Drag your exported video into the drop zone Select File->Export to Mpeg 4 Adjust quality (60-100%)/specify data rate limit (2.5Mbps-14Mbps depending on resolution for HD)/etc - make sure Frame Size is Unscaled if you want them to be able to view full rez Click Make MP4 Compressor Method: Launch Compressor In the upper left portion of the screen where it asks to drop the source, drag your exported video into there (the master export will most likely be very large as with FCP, using footage from a 5DMkII, it will most likely be a quicktime movie using the ProRES codec (which isn't really compatible with PCs even with the latest quicktime that supposedly can play it)) Down in the lower left there is a window called Settings where there are preset options for various output containers and codecs. I don't have my system with FCS3 in front of me (which is what I'm assuming you have - the latest version of Final Cut Studio), but there should be a job preset for a MP4 that is H.264 - at least an MPeg4 job, you can also custom create your own preset. Drag it up to where the source item is. Now in the little window next to where all the jobs are is the inspector, when you select the output job at the top, it will show its settings in there - you can look at the various compression values, audio values, etc. Adjust to taste (for example, if exporting to a 720p H.264 video, you might set a bitrate in the range of 2.5Mbps - 6Mbps - you may want to export small samples to find acceptable bitrates for your project). Once all of your settings are good, submit the job and let it transcode the video from the output from Final Cut into the distribution container/codec. Now after however long it takes to transcode, you should have a MP4 that has H.264 video that should be playable in: Quicktime (Mac or Windows) VLC (Mac or Windows) Windows Media Player (Windows only, may require install of KLite or CCC) If it would help I may be able to make a small screencast for you later when I'm at home.

Decent light duty scrub pads. Personally prefer something a little more heavy duty. Good if you have really delicate things, otherwise this is just too soft.
Michael P. from Mike's Mindful Plate Posted on 04/21/2015
Great product at a great price, these scouring pads work awsome on dishes, they dont scratch your plates and keep them looking new for a very long time, while still getting them clean!!!

Unlocking tool
this wiki
There are three unlocking tools in NetHack: the skeleton key, the lock pick (osaku to Samurai) and the credit card. The skeleton key and the lock pick allow you to lock and unlock doors and chests, while the credit card can only unlock them. Credit cards have nothing to do with money in NetHack; they appear as unlocking devices because of their popularity in films for jimmying open door locks.
The chance of successfully locking or unlocking a door depends on which tool you use, your dexterity, the type of lock, and whether or not you are a Rogue. The per-turn probabilities of success are listed in the table below.
Tool | For Rogues | For non-Rogues | ||
Door | Box | Door | Box | |
skeleton key | (70+Dex)% | (75+Dex)% | (70+Dex)% | (75+Dex)% |
lock pick | (3*Dex + 30)% | (4*Dex + 25)% | (3*Dex)% | (4*Dex)% |
credit card | (2*Dex + 20)% | (Dex + 20)% | (2*Dex)% | (Dex)% |
"Box" includes chests and large boxes.
If you have not succeeded after 50 turns, you give up.
This exercises your dexterity, even if you don't succeed.
To unlock doors apply the unlocking tool and then choose the direction of the door.
To unlock chests apply the unlocking tool while standing on the chest and then choose ">", for down or ".", for here.
All unlocking tools are generated uncursed.
Other effectsEdit
If a watchman sees you picking a lock, he may warn you or get hostile. If a warning is given, a trap is automatically added to the door in question.
Attempting to apply a credit card at a shopkeeper or the Oracle will produce the message "No checks, no credit, no problem.". Attempting to apply an unlocking tool on a visible monster (other than a disguised mimic) in any other situation will produce the message "I don't think Monster would appreciate that.".
Credit cards are the lightest unlocking tool, but also the slowest, and they won't lock. Lock picks are the heaviest and most expensive, and for a Rogue with 18 dexterity give a 97% chance of (un)locking a box in one turn. However, in all other circumstances, skeleton keys are faster, as well as cheaper and lighter.
Rust does not impede the operation of any unlocking tool, however cursed tools have only half the chance to unlock versus uncursed tools.
Beginners frequently kick down doors (or do other loud actions). Reasons to use an unlocking tool instead are:
- Kicking wakes up nearby monsters. This includes the fabled invisible nymph.
- You cannot close and/or lock doors to partition out spawned monsters if you have kicked them down.
- Kicking takes longer, unless wearing kicking boots or some corner cases.
- The door might be attached to a shop closed for inventory.
All the unlocking tools first appear in NetHack 3.0.0.
In addition, the NetHack 3.0 Series had special shaped keys that fit specific locks on chests and large boxes. You might see "a chest (triangular keyhole)", for example, and a "triangular key" would open its lock much more quickly than a skeleton key; but a "square key" would not fit.
Doors did not have locks of any specific shape, and the shaped keys could not open them; you had to use one of the other unlocking tools.
Keys, and the locks that they fit, were as follows in NetHack 3.0.10:
Key | Lock |
round | round |
square | square |
triangular | triangular |
oval | oval |
octagonal | octagonal |
hexagonal | hexagonal |
cylindrical | wide |
irregular | notched |
conical | large round |
wedge-shaped | large square |
In time, the shaped keys were felt to add nothing of value to the game, and in NetHack 3.1.0 they were removed.

Hyper puppy...
...My GSD turns 11 weeks old tomorrow I got him on Monday, this is my 4th GSD in succession and is by the most hyper GSD I've had to deal with. Zooming around the house grabbing stuffed animals, teething my last GSD did not exhibit a lot of this, maybe it's just the 8.5 year gap in puppies.

Everyone wants a puppy until they actually have one. They really can be a handful.
You're just used to a trained adult and this puppy is in a new environment and doesn't know the rules yet. Time, patience, exercise, and training will help. |

Ask-A-Linguist Message Details
Subject: | Examples of a language becoming more agglutinative over time. |
Question: | It seems to me - at least when looking at Indo-European languages - that there ise a tendency for languages to turn more analytical over time (say we compare Proto-Indo-European to Ancient Greek to Modern Romance languages). Can you bring an example of the opposite to have happened (that is to say, the languages having turned more synthetical)? Furthermore, can you bring an example of a language having developed additional cases when compared to its older variation? |

Daily wine news - the latest breaking wine news from around the world News, Home Slideshow News Wine News http://www.decanter.com/news/wine-news/584231/new-report-slams-12-us-states-for-restricting-access-to-wines http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/0000060e5/ef8e_orh100000w160/CDJ6PW.jpg http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/0000060e5/1014/CDJ6PW.jpg- 2013-08-14T08:25:00+01:00 Wednesday 14 August 2013
Picture: © ZUMA Press, Inc. / Alamy In a scathing report published this month, the American Wine Consumer Coalition claims that 'nearly every state imposes restrictions that deprive wine consumers of access to the wines they want.' The report, called Consuming Concerns: The 2013 State-by-State Report Card on Consumer Access to Wine laments the existence of wine and alcohol laws 'from the 1930s' that are 'still in place in most states, despite a cultural, economic and commercial reality that is starkly different [today].' In the report by the Washington D.C.-based consumer group, each US state is ranked against the criteria of winery shipping, no state monopoly on wine sales, retailer shipping, Sunday wine sales, taking wine into restaurants, and wine Sales in Grocery Stores, and before receiving an overall grade from A to F. Some 12 states in particular – Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Utah – were awarded with the failing grade 'F' for having the most restrictions: from prohibiting direct wine shipments and wine purchases in grocery stores, to setting up state monopolies that restrict consumer choice – and forbidding individuals from bringing their own wine to restaurants. However the report praised California, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon, Virginia and the District of Columbia with an 'A+' rating, because wine consumers enjoy 'outstanding access' to wine from a wide variety of sources (wine shops, grocery stores, direct shipment from wineries and wine retailers inside the state and outside the state).

In a May 7 op-ed piece, former state planning commissioner Joe Maraziti characterizes any questions about Highlands Council members taking campaign contributions from developers with a financial stake in council decisions as a distraction and an undermining of the council's ability to protect the Highlands. It is a shame that someone with such a proud legacy would jeopardize it by excusing pay-to-play.
New Jerseyans deserve better government and have the right to demand it, regardless of which party is in control. Holding candidates to ethical standards and requiring transparency concerning candidates' financial support are requisites for this to occur. Failure to implement transparent reporting and adhere to these standards erodes public confidence in government.
I am not saying that public officials don't play a valuable role on the council. However, to suggest simply dismissing perceived or real conflicts of interest created by campaign contributions is troubling.
It is time to stop these spurious arguments and work collectively to ensure that pay-to-play has no seat at the council table. The 5 million residents who get their drinking water from the region deserve good government.

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of N-terminal dipeptides from a polypeptide chain.
Catalysis of the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in a polypeptide chain by a catalytic mechanism that involves a catalytic triad consisting of a serine nucleophile that is activated by a proton relay involving an acidic residue (e.g. aspartate or glutamate) and a basic residue (usually histidine).
An action potential that occurs in a neuron.
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of potassium ion transmembrane transport.
The hydrolysis of proteins into smaller polypeptides and/or amino acids by cleavage of their peptide bonds.
Protein which is part of a reference proteome. Reference proteomes are a subset of proteomes that have been selected either manually or algorithmically according to a number of criteria to provide a broad coverage of the tree of life and a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity found within UniProtKB, as well as the proteomes of well-studied model organisms and other species of interest for biomedical research.

The more trimers and tetramers and the fewer dimers present in the cell membrane, the stronger the repulsion signal. In contrast, a higher abundance of dimers and a smaller number of multimers produce a weaker reaction or none at all. "Thanks to this mechanism, a cell can grade its response from forcing another cell to make a U-turn to simply guiding it past at close range", Rdiger Klein says. This is an important step in understanding how migrating and growing cells navigate, and why this guidance system breaks down in some diseases.

20 CFR 653.107 - Outreach.
Each State agency shall operate an outreach program in order to locate and to contact MSFWs who are not being reached by the normal intake activities conducted by the local offices. Upon receipt of planning instructions and resource guidance from ETA, each State agency shall develop an annual outreach plan, setting forth numerical goals, policies and objectives. This plan shall be subject to the approval of the Regional Administrator as part of the program budget plan (PBP) process. Wherever feasible, State agencies shall coordinate their outreach efforts with those of public and private community service agencies and MSFW groups.
In determining the extent of their outreach program, States shall be guided by the following statement of ETA policy:
State agencies should make sufficient penetration in the farmworker community so that a large number of MSFWs are aware of the full range of JS services.
Signficant MSFW Local offices should conduct especially vigorous outreach in their service areas.
State agencies in supply States should conduct particularly thorough outreach efforts with extensive follow-up activities which capitalize on the relatively long duration of MSFW residence in the State.
The plan shall be based on the actual conditions which exist in the particular State, taking into account the State agency's history of providing outreach services, the estimated number of MSFWs in the State, and the need for outreach services in that State. The approval of the Regional Administrator shall be based upon his/her consideration of the following features of the outreach plan:
A projected number of MSFWs in the State for the coming year, which shall take into account data supplied by WIA 167 National Farmworker Jobs Program grantees, other MSFW organizations, employer organizations and federal and/or State agency data sources such as the Department of Agriculture and the United States Employment Service.
A statement of the consideration given to the State Monitor Advocate's recommendation as set forth in the annual summary developed under § 653.108(t).
Assessment of available resources.
This assessment of the resources available for outreach shall include:
The level of funds available from all sources, including the funds specifically made available to the State agency for outreach.
Resources made available through existing cooperative agreements with public and private community service agencies and MSFW groups.
Where fewer resources are available for outreach than in a prior year, a statement of why fewer resources are available.
Proposed outreach activities.
The proposed outreach activities shall be designed to meet the needs determined under paragraph (c)(1) of this section with the available resources determined under paragraph (c)(2) of this section. The plan for the proposed outreach activities shall include:
Numerical goals for the number of MSFWs to contacted during the fiscal year by JS staff. The number of MSFWs planned to be contacted by other agencies under cooperative arrangements during the fiscal year also should be included in the plan. These numerical goals shall be based on the number of MSFWs estimated to be in the State in the coming year, taking into account the varying concentration of MSFWs during the seasons in each geographic area, the range of services needed in each area and the number of JS and/or cooperating agency staff who will conduct outreach.
The tools which will be used to conduct outreach contacts, including personal contact, printed matter, videotapes, slides, and/or cassette recordings.
The records to be maintained by the JS outreach staff—logs of daily contacts to include the number of MSFWs contacted and assistance provided. The name of the individual contacted should be recorded when:
In developing the outreach plan, the State agency shall solicit information and suggestions from WIA 167 National Farmworker Jobs Program grantees, other appropriate MSFW groups, public agencies, agricultural employer organizations, and other interested organizations. In addition, at least 45 days before submitting its final outreach plan to the Regional Administrator, the State agency shall provide a proposed plan to WIA 167 National Farmworker Jobs Program grantees, public agencies, agricultural employer organizations, and other organizations expressing an interest and allow at least 30 days for review and comment. The State agency shall:
Inform all commenting parties in writing whether their comments have been incorporated and, if not, the reasons therefore.
Transmit the comments and recommendations received and its responses to the Regional Administrator with the submission of the plan. (If the comments are received after the submission of the plan, they may be sent separately to the Regional Administrator.)
The outreach plan shall be submitted as an essential part of the State's annual PBP. The resource requirement of the plan shall be reflected in the PBP budget request. The plan, including the resource requirement, shall be reviewed by the Regional Administrator during the annual PBP approval process. The State agency shall be required to implement the approved outreach plan as part of its compliance with the PBP.
The Regional Administrator shall review and evaluate the outreach plan, including the assessments of needs and resources, in light of the history of the State's outreach efforts and the statements of policy set forth in § 653.107(b). He/she shall approve the plan only if it demonstrates that adequate outreach will be conducted. The approved outreach plan shall be available for review by interested parties.
As part of the annual PBP process, funding of State agencies shall be contingent upon the substantial and timely compliance of the State agency with its prior year outreach plan. However, if the Regional Administrator makes a finding of good faith efforts, he/she may fund a State agency even though it did not achieve substantial and timely compliance.
For purposes of hiring and assigning staff to outreach duties, State agencies shall seek, through merit system procedures, qualified candidates:
The five States with the highest estimated year round MSFW activity shall assign, in accordance with State merit staff requirements, full-time, year round staff to outreach duties. The remainder of the significant MSFW states shall make maximum efforts to hire outreach staff with MSFW experience for year round positions and shall assign outreach staff to work full-time during the period of the highest MSFW activity. Such outreach staff shall be bilingual if warranted by the characteristics of the MSFW population in the State, and shall spend a majority of their time in the field. The Regional Administrator may grant approval for a deviation from the requirements of this section if the State agency provides adequate evidence that outreach activities and service delivery to MSFWs would be improved through other staffing arrangements.
For purposes of this subpart, an outreach "contact" shall include either the presentation of information and offer of assistance specified in paragraphs (j)(1) and (j)(2) of this section, or the followup activity specified in paragraph (j)(3) of this section.
Outreach workers shall explain to MSFWs at their working, living or gathering areas, including day-haul sites, by means of written and oral presentations either spontaneous or recorded, in a language readily understood by them, the following;
The services available from the local office, including the availability of referrals to agricultural and nonagricultural employment, to training, to supportive services, as well as the availability of testing, counseling and other job development services;
Provided, however, That outreach workers shall not enter work areas to perform outreach duties described in this section on an employer's property without permission of the employer, unless otherwise authorized to enter by law, shall not enter workers' living areas without the permission of the workers, and shall comply with appropriate State laws regarding access.
After making the presentation, outreach workers shall urge the MSFWs to go to the local office to obtain the full range of JS services. If an MSFW cannot or does not wish to visit the local JS office, the outreach workers shall offer to provide on-site the following:
If an unemployed MSFW, assistance in obtaining referral to specific employment opportunities currently available; if an employed MSFW, information regarding the types of employment opportunities which will become available upon the date on which the MSFW indicates that he/she will be available following his/her current employment.
Receipt and subsequent referral of complaints to the local office complaint specialist or local officer manager;
As needed, assistance in making appointments and arranging transportation for individual MSFWs or members of their family to and from local offices or other appropriate agencies.
Outreach workers shall make follow-up contacts as are necessary and appropriate to provide to the maximum extent possible the assistance specified in paragraphs (j)(1) and (j)(2) of this section.
In addition to the foregoing outreach contacts, the State agency shall publicize the availability of JS services through such means as newspaper and electronic media publicity. Contacts with public and priviate community agencies, employers and/or employer organizations, and MSFW groups also shall be utilized to facilitate the widest possible distribution of information concerning JS services.
Outreach workers shall be alert to observe the working and living conditions of MSFWs and, upon observation, or upon receipt of information regarding a suspected violation of federal or State employment-related law, document and refer information to the local office manager for processing in accordance with § 653.113.
Outreach workers shall be trained in local office procedures and in the services, benefits, and protections afforded MSFWs by the JS. They shall also be trained in the procedure for informal resolution of complaints. The program for such training shall be formulated by the State Administrator, pursuant to uniform guidelines developed by ETA, and each State's program shall be reviewed and commented upon in advance by the State MSFW Monitor Advocate.
During months when outreach activities are conducted, outreach workers shall maintain complete records of their contacts with MSFWs and the services they perform in accordance with a format developed by ETA. These records shall include a daily log, a copy of which shall be sent monthly to the local office manager and maintained on file for at least two years. These records shall include the number of contacts and names of contacts (where applicable), the services provided (e.g., whether a complaint was received, whether an application was taken, and whether a referral was made). Outreach workers also shall maintain records of each possible violation or complaint of which they have knowledge, and their actions in ascertaining the facts and referring the matters as provided herein. These records shall include a description of the circumstances and names of any employers who have refused outreach workers access to MSFWs pursuant to § 653.107(l).
During months when outreach activities are conducted, each local office manager shall file with the State MSFW Monitor Advocate a monthly summary report of outreach efforts. These reports shall summarize information collected, pursuant to paragraph (m) of this section. The local office manager and/or other appropriate State office staff members shall assess the performance of outreach workers by examining the overall quality and productivity of their work, including the services provided and the methods and tools used to offer services. Performance shall not be judged solely by the number of contacts made by the worker. The monthly reports and daily outreach logs shall be made available to the State MSFW Monitor Advocate and federal On-Site Review Teams. In addition, the distribution of any special funds for outreach, should funds become available, shall be based on the effectiveness and need of the State's outreach program as monitored by ETA.
Outreach workers shall not engage in political, unionization or antiunionization activities during the performance of their duties.
Outreach workers shall be provided with, carry and display, upon request, identification cards or other material identifying them as employees of the State agency.

Local Butcher's sandwich of the day is usually pretty good. |
Neldam's...which I believe is now called Taste of Denmark in Oakland usually has them. |
The Good Hop Bottle Shop - Oakland The Good Hop opened over the summer. They don't serve food except for a few bar snacks, so no kids, which is a welcome respite for this poster. You can bring in your own food though and the bartender will help you pick a beer to pair with it. I think of it as a very mellow, relaxing, civilized place to explore different types of beer. You can drink anything out of the coolers for just a $1 corkage - a bargain if you do the math. The tap list is always interesting and ever changing, specializing in California craft beer that you don't see in many other bars. |
east bay burger with short ribs in the mix? Telegraph (Oakland, Telegraph & 23rd ish) also does a 50/50 burger. |
Anyone else getting tired of "new" Craft Beer,Gourmet Burgers & 3rd Wave Coffee joints in Bay Area? I've found the enjoyment of Trumer is dependent on the glass. Served in a typical pint glass, yes, it tastes skunky. However if it is served in a narrow glass with straight sides (looks kind of like a test tube) it tastes delightful and refreshing. |
Question about making a seafood stew with crawfish That stew looks delicious - I'm definitely making it with dungeness crab when the season opens up. Another vote for pre-cooked tails. I've eaten enough cioppino to know that in the shell + red broth = a huge mess. Though it would look stunning. Also, maybe crawfish are smaller in California but I remember making a crawfish etoufee with my father once...we spent an entire afternoon picking meat out of 10# of crawfish only to get a little less than a pound of meat. |
"Only in New Orleans" info request Thank you all for your replies and the gulf fish education. I'm so excited to leave tomorrow morning I can't sit still. Looks like I picked a great city to blow a years worth of gym and dieting. |
"Only in New Orleans" info request Hello gracious and hospitable Chowhounders! I'll be visiting your fair city for the first time next week and can barely contain my excitement. I've reseached past threads for inspiration but still have a couple of questions that I'd like to throw out to the board. Basics: I'll be staying in the Bywater for 6 nights. No car but willing to walk, cab, or take public transportation anywhere within the city. Price point isn't a concern, but I also don't feel I have to spend a ton of money to have an enjoyable meal. No food restrictions and just so you know where my palate is coming from, my Chowhound haunts are in San Francisco/Oakland. I have reservations at Commander's Palace and Galatoire's, so my Grande Dames are covered. My goal is to experience what is unique to the region. Questions: Thank you in advance for reading my ramblings! |
Late night dining in SF -3am-? Sure! If you are in the terminals take the crossover walkway to the parking garage, then take the elevator to the first floor. Once out of the elevator just start walking to the center of the garage (the garage is round). You will soon see 100+ taxis parked and waiting in the center. You may have to step up and over a curb or two....but just walk over to where there appears to be a tunnel. The truck is in the tunnel. There will be a lot of cabbies waiting around, should be fairly obvious once you get there. |
Late night dining in SF -3am-? I work at SFO and have been to the truck several times. Not sure of the hours but I've had breakfast to late lunch there. It is by far the least expensive place to eat in the airport. Like you said, it is a real roach coach, but the food is good. Nothing extravagant or revelatory, but decent roach coach food that you are not afraid to eat. Rice plates, chicken skewers, breakfast burritos, burgers, malibu chicken....sometimes the rice plates veer in to the creative arena (lemongrass chicken instead of teriyaki). |
Morrell's Bread at the Berkeley Farmers market. I'm used to Acme that needs to be eaten within 36 hours - Morrell's stayed awesome for 4-5 days. |
Special occasion vegetarian friendly restaurant in the East Bay? Penrose on Lakeshore had enough fish and veggie options to make a very nice meal. Scratch that, just looked at the menu again and if you are vegetarian you only have salad and flat bread options. I really enjoyed the trout for 2 which must be why I have fond memories of that dinner. |
Pub to sample California Microbrews Solid suggestions. I'd add in the Good Hop (Telegraph/24th, Oakland) that recently opened their doors. 14 taps of California brews plus 9 reach-ins with hundreds of different bottles. Probably a good 90% of the bottles are Californian and you can drink them on premises for a $1 corkage (cappage?) fee. The bartenders are extremely knowledgable and love to talk about beer. I almost hate to mention them because it hasn't gotten too crowded yet - but I want them to be around forever. It is a nice relaxing place to explore beer. |
Pork or Chicken Buns for Tonight - Oakland Chinatown Shan Dong 328 10th St, Oakland, CA 94607 |
Replacements for retired favorites? Truffles from Cocolat on Shattuck in Berkeley. I know it has been closed for probably 20 years, but is the standard by which I judge all truffles and I've yet to have anything better. |
Molcajete in Oakland - any hound reports? I had the molcajete a couple of weeks ago and thought it was delicious. It was huge. Next time I'll just get some guacamole/chips and split it with my wife. It gets better every layer you go down. Grilled meats, shrimp and onions on top, then a layer of nopales, cheese, beans, and rice at the bottom. Rice got carmelized like dol sot bibimbap. I would order again in a heartbeat....as long as i had someone to help me eat it. Loved their tortas too! |
Are there any restaurants in the Bay Area with kid play areas? Denica's in Dublin, not sure about their other 2 locations |
Kauffman and Birdsall: 22 Hottest Mexican Restaurants in the Bay Area I thought the EB recommendations were good. I've been to Comal, Cosecha, and Nido multiple times and will definitely go back. Tried Molcajete for the first time last week and was really, really, really happy. The cochinita pibil was fantastic. As we were walking out the door I told my wife that I thought we had just found our new favorite mexican restaurant. ...until I check out the other places on the list. |
My wife is from Cleveland and we fill a small suitcase with various sausages from the Westside Market on the way to the airport on every visit. Slovenian sausages are a favorite! I can't say that I've seen it here for sure, but if I was going to try to find it I'd start in the eastern European markets on Geary out in the avenues...like around 19th-21st. We're fans of the New World Market (5641 Geary Blvd |
Box and Bells Eating House - Oakland Sure. However "grilled pain mie soldiers" is not what I want to sop up juice with. If I pay $5 for a bread product it better be special and I'm going to enjoy it as its own dish with the garlic confit. Both dishes I mentioned, and I'd throw in the scallops too, were served with delicious sauces/broth that were wasted because there was not an accompanying starch or bread to bring it to the mouth. The few small pieces of flat bread that came with the mussels were too dense to even absorb the broth. Obviously I am not a fan of the restaurant trend eliminating gratis bread and I stand by my assertion that it should be available upon request. |
Box and Bells Eating House - Oakland We went a week or so ago.... Blood sausage poutine - very good I agree with psb above, some bread would have been very nice with the left over blood sausage sauce and mussel broth. I think at $10+ a small plate they can slide me a couple slices of a baguette. I really liked the look of the space, the chairs were comfortable, lighting a little dark for menu reading but I'm sure made me look more attractive to my dining companion. The noise was a factor that inhibited conversation. I know it is cheaper to just paint an open ceiling black, but dang it makes it hard to even hear the servers much less your dining companion. All that said, I'm sure I'll come back in a couple weeks. |
Where can I buy salty ( or even better-double salted) black licorice? I've been able to find some at Powell's Candy in Berkeley Molly Stones usually has some too. I adore salty licorice. Someone brought me a chocolate bar from Europe that had little salty lilcorice nibs in it....delicious! |
Umami Burger in Oakland [split thread] I went for dinner last week and agree that the burgers are tasty and cooked perfect. I also ordered medium rare and got a pink and juicy burger. Sometimes it feels like actually receiving medium rare burger is like finding a unicorn. I split a truffle burger and the queso fundido burger. It is hard not to like the one with chorizo more, but I'd have to say that the queso was was barely noticable. Maybe they were running low on cheese sauce because our "manly" fries were barely drizzled with the cheese sauce too. The fries were good but totally not worth a $3 upcharge. They have a full bar and decent beer selection. I'll definitely go back when I'm craving a burger and only medium rare will do....but I'll probably be more likely to visit Trueburger for half the price. |
Need good outdoor Happy Hour spot in Oakland tonight Brotzeit Lokal has a lovely patio on the water. http://brotzeitbiergarten.com/ |
I could be mistaken, but I seem to remember a fine grind on the E&J links. However I do know that the course grind links that they sold at Flint's can be bought at Taylor's Sausage located in Swan's Market. |
Just spent the weekend in West Sonoma county and while it wasn't our orignial intention, we basically followed the itinery in this article. Absolutely fantastic. Barley & Hops in Occidental was a perfect Friday night brew pub dinner....nothing crazy fancy but solid beer drinking food, good stuff on tap and friendly bar staff. The wineries (Merry Edwards, Lynmar, and Iron Horse) were relaxed and inviting. Dinner at Zazu was delicious....halibut cheeks over asparagus in a butter caper sauce, pork belly poutine that will surely raise my cholesterol for months, and peanut butter cookie ice cream sandwiches that you dip in hot fudge! Oh yes!! If you can, the cedar enzyme treatment at Osmosis is amazing. |
Lunch near jury duty in Hayward? Buddy's Bites and Brews is pretty good and only a couple of blocks away. I'm a fan of their chowder, the Creachie sandwich, Snapper burger, and the rest of the beef burgers. If you get the fish and chips, bring a friend, it is huge. 24297 Hesperian Blvd Hayward, California 94545 |
Pizza in San Leandro, please help us I live in San Lorenzo and Porky's is the best around since Ye Old Pizza Joynt burned down. I've found that to have a good pizza experience, you have to eat the pie AT Porky's. If you take it home (and I'm only 2 miles away) it suffers considerably. True, it is not a fantastic pizza like Gioia or Pizziaola or Rustica....but it beats the pants off Pizza Hut or Papa Murphy's. One additional plus is they have 8-10 taps of great local beer. |
Bakeries in Palo Alto or Menlo Park Help! I'm a Cal bear stuck in Stanfordland looking for a good bakery. My friends have graciously invited me to their home for dinner and I offered to bring dessert. I'd love to bring a pie, tarte, or torte....cupcakes as a desparate last resort. I'm new to working in Palo Alto and don't know the equivalent to Crixa/La Farine/PIQ in the area. My Chowhound seach came up empty and Yelp (shudder) seems to only point me to bakery cafes that appear to concentrate on serving savory food. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
Just Moved to Hayward -- Please Prove This Isn't A Food Desert I agree with Sister House and London Fish & Chips. Others to add to the mix: Cesar's Chicken - to go only. Love the fried chicken. Can also get ravioli, spaghetti, and garlic bread. Hunan Express - good lunch plates, huge portions to go Buddy's Bites & Brew - Usually has a couple of interesting/local beers on tap. Good burgers, wings, sandwiches. Awesome sweet potato tots. Also really enjoyed their fish and chips. Porky's Pizza Palace - Old school pizza joint, like where you would go after a softball game. Great beer selection. Hand tossed pizza crust is good when eaten there, but suffers after travel. They also have a selection of other Italian entree's. Don't miss the senior citizen banjo band on Thursdays. |

General Question
How does the "human capital model" and "labor market discrimination model" explain the gender wage gap?
Asked by NYstateOfMind88 (76
December 17th, 2008
I'm not by any means trying to get someone to do my homework for me, just trying to gain a better understanding on the matter for an exam.
I already know the gender wage gap, I'm just having trouble figuring out how those two models relate to it.
I lost my book so if anyone knows about this stuff I'd appreciate their help, any help. Thanks a ton.

In Captivate 5 Essential Training, author James Lockman demonstrates the core features of Captivate 5, the popular tool for authoring e-learning content such as interactive presentations, click-through simulations, and customized assessments. He shows how to import and sync PowerPoint presentations, add interactivity, and incorporate audio, video, and voiceovers. The course also includes tutorials on assessment reporting and integrating with SCORM-compliant learning management systems. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this lesson we're going to see how we can create a project template. A project template is a way for you to design a project and then have some placeholder areas where other users will insert content or slides. We're going to begin by creating a new project template. You can do that from your welcome screen or from the File menu choose New Project and Project Template. I want the size to be 800x600. If you don't have that chosen please choose it now and then click OK.
I'd like to use content from another library in this template. I can open a library from the Library panel. If you don't see the Library panel then you may want to switch to the Classic workspace where it should be. Choose Open Library and browse to Chapter 8 Library.cptl. This will be in your Project folder in Chapter 8 Exercise Files. Select it and choose Open. This opens the Library from Chapter 8 Library.cptl.
Let's drag it over and pin it next to the existing Library panel. Click and hold on the tab and drag it to the right, until you see the blue outline in this panel and release. The first thing we'll do is to create a master slide. Under Window choose Master Slide and then Ctrl+0 or Command+0 to show the entire stage. I want to put the HandPBackground image onto the background of this slide. Select it and drag it onto the stage.
Right-click and choose Align > Center horizontally on the slide. Do the same with the vertical alignment. Right-click, Align > Center vertically on the slide. Now let's go to slide number 1. Our basic project is going to consist of a few templated items. First of all we'll include a button. Create a new button now by inserting a button from the toolbar, switch to your Properties panel, and we'll make this to be an Image button.
We'll browse to an image. This is located in the images folder. Pick store.png file and then Open. Move it up here and we'll create two more buttons. Do the same thing. Call them Image Buttons. Select the gifts.png. Slide that over. Lastly create one more button, make it an Image button, and we'll browse to displays.png.
Set them a distance apart from each other then hold down your Shift key and select all three. Right-click, Align > Align Left and then right-click, Align > Distribute Vertically. It's important that these three buttons don't overlap with each other so that they'll distribute properly. Now we've got some navigation buttons there and I'd like to insert some placeholder content. Under Insert choose Placeholder Objects and Text Caption.
Move the text caption just to the right of Hansel & Petal logo and a little bit below it and then drag it across the slide. You'll notice that this doesn't look like a text caption. However, we can style it in advance so that when it does get used it will have the appropriate styling. I'd like this to have the transparent styling so under General choose transparent, leave the font as Myriad Pro, but change it to Bold, and we'll increase the Size to 40 points.
That's all we'll do with that for now. The next thing I'd like to do is to insert an image placeholder. Under Insert choose Placeholder Objects and before we continue, take a look at the list of placeholder objects that we can insert. We've used a Text Caption, but we could also insert a Rollover Caption, an Image, Rollover Image, Animation, Text Animation, Slide video, we'll use that in a moment, or an FLV or F4V file. Every one of these objects will appear as that gray box.
This allows you to predetermine what type of content is going to be in a project. For someone to use it all they have got to do is double-click on the placeholder and then they'll be asked to fill in the blanks so to speak. Let's select Image now and we'll drag it out so that it fits just about here and down to the lower right-hand corner. Great! Let's insert a placeholder slide now. Right-click on slide number 1 and Insert under Placeholder Slides a Recording Slide Placeholder.
Go back to slide number 1 and right-click Insert New Slide. On slide 2 we'll insert some placeholder video. Insert > Placeholder Objects. In this case we're going to use Slide video. I'd like the slide video to fit the entire screen. Let's stretch it out so that it covers the entire slide. Great! What we have now is a file that can be used to create a new project.
This project will consist of three slides. The first slide is going to be our welcome slide. it has some text to be filled in and an image to be filled in. The second slide is going to include some video. The third slide is going to be a screen recording. We'll take a look at screen recordings in another chapter. I just want that to be part of my project template. Now that I have created my project template I can save it. Choose File > Save As and we'll call this Chapter 8_b.cptl.
Do not change the extension of this file. This is not a CPTX file. It's a CPTL file and that's very important. If you call it a CPTX file it will not behave the way that you expect it to. It needs to be called CPTL in order for Captivate to understand that this is in fact a project template. Using project templates in conjunction with external libraries is a way for you not only to build projects in advance, but also to ensure that the branding of those projects will meet the branding of your company.

Players from Ohio State's 2002 national championship team hoisted their former coach Jim Tressel on their shoulders. Meantime, the crowd gave him a standing ovation at Ohio Stadium. OSU honored the 10th anniversary of the program's 2002 football team — the last Buckeye squad to win a national championship.

Tressel was wrong to be there. Thanks to him Ohio State was hit with all those sanctions. Had he come forward when he heard of what was going on he would still be the coach at Ohio State. When he didn't come forward everything just snowballed. No Tressel you should not have taken the spotlight from the present Ohio State team.
Railroaded in Ohio
Tressel is a man of great leadership, yes he may have made a mistake. But the real problem is the Leagues rules. These kids play there hearst out and work year round , unable to work part time jobs to have some form of a life . If the College league paid them based opn gradepoint , leadership and performance on the field , these kids would not be selling their rings to make ends meet.
Football is big big money for the Colleges , and paying these kids would elimiate these issues.
On another note, allowing kids to leave college before they graduate from college is crazy! Every college in the Nation hopes their All Star is not picked up by the NFL before his elgibility ends. If the colleges mandated that the NFL re-pay to the colleges when a student opts out before a diploma is in hand. The NFL should repay the college for their investment for the scholarships provided.
You can say what you want , but firing a winning coach because he knew they sold their earned rings to gain cash is a lame excuse.Lets face it Tressel was railroaded out of town on a technicality . Those who blame Tressel are clueless how College Football and its cash revenue really works.....

Latest Seashell Stories
In the depths of the Arctic Ocean, buried deep in the sediment, an ancient creature waited for over a million years to be discovered.
Valued for millennia for their decorative shells, marine cone snails are now grabbing the interest of pharmacologists who believe the snails' powerful venom could eventually be used to formulate equally as powerful drugs to treat a range of illnesses.
The enchantingly colored seashells that lend beaches their charm could also provide information about how the brain converts memories and sensory information into action, according to research from the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Pittsburgh published online April 7 in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences†("PNASâ€).
University of California, Berkeley, graduate student Alistair Boettiger has amassed a beautiful collection of seashells, but not by combing the beach. He created them in his computer.
Latest Seashell Reference Libraries
Conchology, a branch of malacology, is the study of mollusk shells including seashells, freshwater and land mollusk shells, and gastropod operculums. Conchologists, those who practice conchology, study the shells four main groups of mollusks including bivalves and gastropods as wells as chitons and tusk shells. The study of mollusk is shells is sometimes thought to be outdated, because a species as a whole cannot be understood by one aspect, but shells have been known to provide important...
Mucrospirifer is a genus of extinct brachiopod of the order Spiriferida. This genus is sometimes known as the "butterfly shells." Fossils of this genus occur mostly in the Middle Devonian strata. When alive, this genus mainly lived in muddy marine sediments, and were attached to the sea floor via its pedicle (foot). The bi-convex shell was about an inch long, and sometimes grew to 1.6 inches. The shell has a fold, groove and rod-like structure. It is elongated along the hinge line,...
