What do you like about your favorite restaurant? I have a few personal favorites and the reasons are simple and I suspect they are the same as yours. I'm talking about casual dining, not the five-star, upscale dining experience. Most of us don't go to those establishments on a regular basis; we go to the casual to casual-upscale restaurant, where we know the food quality is consistent, the bar carries our favorite wine or brand of vodka. Probably the most important reason we go is for the consistent service.
Of course we know the food is generally to our liking, but we also take for granted that we're going to receive the same service as usual, nothing outstanding, but they always manage to get our food to us in a timely manner and they aren't rude. And the atmosphere? Well, it's always kind of loud and we don't usually go there if we just want some peace and quiet while we eat. Sound like your reasoning when deciding to go out to eat?
Do you want your restaurant to be people's favorite place to enjoy dinner? Is your food consistently good? Is your wait staff truly interested in your guests' best dining experience? Or are they going to the tables and "taking an order?"
How many times have you heard one or all of your wait staff say, "I'm going to take table five's order now…be right back."
The answer is every day, of course.
They are so used to just taking an order that they don't realize how much power they really have!
Yes, power!
They have, or should have, complete knowledge of your menu; they know the bar and the premium alcohol you serve. They have all this ammunition in their heads when they go to a table and they don't use it! Instead they "take an order."
Try changing the way they approach their duty as a server. Help them understand that they are an independent contractor/salesperson who has total control over his/her income. Suggest a cocktail or wine before guests ask about those things. Likewise, direct their thinking toward the appetizers and some of your most popular entrees, etc.
Suggestive selling is not insisting they have one of everything on the menu; it is simply guiding their dining experience and making them feel comfortable and welcome. When a server suggests and asks questions about what guests like, the guests feel as if their best dining experience is in the interest of the server. And it truly is if the server believes him/herself to be an independent salesperson.
It is a two-way street, of course. Guests will, more often than not, tip a server much more when they have been guided through their dining experience. As guests, we want to feel like our server has earned the tip. If he/she has guided us through the sometimes arduous journey of a menu, and found out our likes and dislikes and reacted accordingly, we feel good about leaving a bigger tip, knowing that our knowledgeable and caring server deserves it.
Training and information is the key! Contact me, Susie, at Waiter Training, either by phone or email. My business number is (720) 203-4615, and email address is email@example.com. Web address is http://www.waiter-training.com.
Excellence is an act won by training and habituation.
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence,
but rather we have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
– Aristotle

From my reading, SOMs do not require "supervision" per se. However, they do require that specific "learning rule" or algorithm for weight adjustment be provided before training. Finding the best rule would be a form of supervision. However, if biological NNs work like SOMs, then this supervision would have been provided by billions of years of natural selection for the best set of rules. > > As to iteration, there are many feedback mechanisms evident in the > nervous system I agree with this too. For example, one area in the brain thought to be critical for consolidation of short-term memory is the hippocampal formation and associated entorhinal cortex. The iterative structure looks like this: 1) Entorhinal cortex (EC) gets pre-processed "snapshots" of the sensory world from other parts of cortex. 2) EC sends an output of its own processing to the hippocampus. 3) Hippocampus does some processing, and sends its output back to EC. 4) What happens next is not entirely clear, but one good possibility is that EC "compares" the before and after versions of the snapshot, then sends some sort of error signal to the hippocampus. Tis error signal could be used to adjust connection weights prior to the next round of processing. Interestingly, the hippocampus has -two- areas with the necessary recurrent synaptic circuitry to perform an autoassociative memory function: dentate gyrus -and- CA3. These two regions both have a (relatively) high degree of recurrent excitation, and these excitatory synapses are plastic (their weights are adjustable depending on how they are being used). Further, these two regions are -reciprocally- coupled to each other by excitatory synapses. This layout sounds a lot like the "Two NN" system Mat described in an earlier post. Also interestingly, SOMs were developed by the same guy that developed the theory of autoassociative networks, Teuvo Kohonen. Autoassociative network theory is routinely used to model hippocampal memory processing. However a few years ago, a guy named Dante Chialvo working in the McNaughton lab at the time, modeled hippocampal place-field development (a form of learning) using SOMs. Last time I checked, this work had not been published, but I saw his Neuroscience poster. The core of SOMs is that you adjust weights by comparing neighboring units. Units that are "near" each other have their weights adjusted in the same direction, often via a sort of winner-take-all mechanism. Chialvo's idea was that local GABAergic interneurons in hippocampus mediated the local weight adjustment by virtue of having a local influence on neighboring pyramidal cells within a restricted spatial range. In fact, he was able to train an SOM on spike data from interneurons in behaving rats, and the SOM was then able to predict the position of the rat to within a few centimeters. Like I said, to my knowledge, this has not yet been published. I asked for a preprint, and got a whole bunch of papers on other NN work he did, but nothing on this particular study.

NEW YORK (Oct. 13)
Rep. Emanuel Celler of New York has been elected chairman of the board of directors of the American Red Mogen Dovid for Israel, the organization announced today. Congressman Celler held the same post in 1948 when Israel was fighting against seven invading Arab armies.
Rep. Celler called on Americans of "every race and religion" to help the Red Mogen Dovid in its program of dealing with Israel's medical emergency, and pledged to do his utmost to secure recognition of the organization by the International Red Cross, which last July ignored the latest Red Mogen Dovid bid for membership because the organization refused to give up the Star of David as its symbol.

Phase 2: Corrective Care
Once your condition has stabilizied, you enter the second phase of care, where the objective is to correct any underlying injury or cause of discomfort, strengthenen the muscles, and improve neuromusculoskeletal function. Most chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a persons care. If all that the chiropractor does is to reduce the pain and stop there, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater. If you end your care before fully healing the muscles and soft tissues, you can invite a relapse. This is a mistake many people make, and it sets them up for recurring health issues. In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone.
During the correction / restorative phase of your care, you will not have to receive adjustments as often as you did during the first phase of care and, depending on your particular circumstances, you may begin doing exercises and stretches either at the center or at home to help accelerate your healing. Care will also be supplemented by recommendations on nutritional and modifications of daily activities. These recommendations will assist you in achieving maximum recovery from your specific condition. It is important to remember that many of the conditions for which people seek care have developed over many years; therefore correcting these problems is a true rehabilitative process. It helps to understand that it takes time correct these conditons.
Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups in your symptoms on occasion. This is normal. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your body has not fully healed. It is important depending on the severity of your injury or condition and how long you have been suffering from it, this phase of your care may last anywhere from a few weeks to a month.

Life Without Light (Video)
Written by the BBCEarth team
Without sunlight, life on Earth would not exist. Every organism that has evolved on the surface of our planet has received energy either directly or indirectly from the sun.
Even creatures that lie at the depths of our oceans and have never felt the sun's rays, not only survive but can actually flourish thanks to solar energy. 120 kilometres off of the Californian coast at a depth of 1,250m a diverse ecosystem is thriving in the darkness. Rising up 2280 metres from the seafloor, the Davidson Seamount, an underwater mountain, is an 'oasis in the deep.'
Thought to have formed between 9 and 15 million years ago from volcanic eruptions, the ancient seamount is home to some of the slowest growing communities in the ocean. For example Paragorgia arborea, more commonly known as pink bubblegum coral, grows to over three metres in height and is over 100 years old.
But how has this seamount managed to sustain more biodiversity with a higher species count than that of the neighboring seafloor?
Its elevated position creates complex current patterns which influences what can live there. The mountain provides a place for species, such as coral, to attach to it which in turn provide food and shelter for other species. Due to these unique conditions seamounts demonstrate a high degree of endemism. Much of the deep sea is fed by the "compost" or "marine snow" from the upper sunlit portions of the sea. As plants and animals at the surface die and decay, they fall toward the sea floor. This snow provides carbon and nitrogen to feed many of the scavengers in the deep sea; testament to the fact that the sun's rays touch far beyond where they can be seen.
But what happens when there are no nutrient-rich currents to feed from? No organic material falling down from above? Or when the extreme conditions make life almost impossible?
Over the last 30 years, researchers have discovered deep sea-ecosystems that live independently of the sun's energy. These communities survive by utilising chemical rather than solar energy. Deep-sea organisms such as mussels, shrimps and squat lobsters host methane fixing bacteria, which convert the chemical energy from methane bubbling out of the sea bed into nutrients.
In this remarkable video from BBC Earth's Life series, David Attenborough shows us exactly how an assumed barren seabed, became an abundant source of food and life.
These extremophiles have found a way to survive by utilizing the energy source which is most abundant to them, begging the question: If life has been found to flourish in even the darkest, saltiest, most inhospitable places where might we find it next?
The search continues…

Somerset, England—Giving its fourth profit warning in two years (the second in 2014) Mulberry Group Plc. said today its profit for the year ended March 31 will be "marginally below" estimates.
The warnings came following the abrupt department last month of CEO Bruno Guillon.
'Reinvigorate Sales with More Affordable Product'
Profit before tax for the year ended March 31 is expected to be around 14 million pounds (about $23.6 million) compared to 26 million pounds last year, Mulberry said.
But the profit warning may have been mitigated by the fact Mulberry also plans to turnaround some of Guillon's policies, namely his push to shift the leathergoods brand into higher priced, more exclusive product.
Interim Executive Chairman Godfrey Davis said he plans to reinvigorate sales by introducing more affordable new product.
""The primary objective is to reinvigorate sales by the introduction of more affordable new product," Mulberry said in a trading update. "As a consequence of these factors, in particular the pricing strategy, there will be a material adverse impact on profit whilst brand momentum rebuilds." The company also plans to slow store openings, adding five this year, compared with eight in the previous 12 months.
Mulberry's share price dropped by two-thirds under Guillon's tenure as the company lost sales to high street revivals and affordable luxury imports such as Michael Kors.

The perceived weakness about India's foreign policy
Foreign policy experts are struck by India's lacklustre foreign policy which, they say, is characterised by passiveness and inaction bordering on utter neglect.
The most confused civil servant today is the Indian diplomat who receives mixed signals from his political bosses, thus limiting his ability to take initiatives in foreign affairs.
Salman Khurshid's elevation to the rank of foreign minister last year surprised many, despite allegations of financial irregularities levelled against him at the Dr Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust Fund, which Khurshid and his wife were overseeing. Many Indian and foreign journalists remember Khurshid's unmistakable threat against the news magazine India Today, threatening to convert it into "India Yesterday". "When you have a cloud of suspicion hanging over you, you look weak both at home and abroad and cannot represent the country's interests in the best possible way." This view is often heard in the Indian diaspora in North America and elsewhere about the foreign minister, who is otherwise a seasoned politician enjoying Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's support.
India's foreign policy is, unfortunately, not dictated by national interests alone, but increasingly by coalition party interests. Coalition governments, now a regular feature in India's political landscape, are usually formed after tough horse-trading and accommodate the regional coalition partners' political agenda that can be at variance with the broader national interest.
Unsurprisingly, both Pakistan and China have been testing the limits to which India can go while reacting to their transgressions of India's borders.
While Pakistan's recently elected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's overtures to revive the composite dialogue with India must be welcomed, there are serious security issues which India cannot ignore when dealing with that country. Terrorism is the scourge of our times and must be eradicated. It affects India as much as it affects Pakistan and the entire world. Pakistan can demonstrate its sincerity to develop good neighbourly relations with India by showing zero tolerance against terrorism. Bilateral cooperation can also help resuscitate Pakistan's ailing economy because it will lead to greater trade, technology transfer and investments.
China has been lately behaving in what some would call an "erratic manner" towards India, with Chinese soldiers violating India's northeastern borders.
Foreign policy wonks, piecing together the jigsaw puzzle of Chinese provocations, say that Indian politicians ignore a basic truth: They are perceived as weak and indecisive personalities who cannot prevent Chinese encroachments. This bitter truth was ignored once before by India's post-independence politicians, including the brilliant but credulous prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who felt betrayed by China's invasion of Indian territory in 1962.
Present-day Indian politicians resort to appeasement, which is interpreted as a sign of weakness and helplessness by China's Stalinist indoctrinated senior army officers. Peace between nations is a wonderful thing, but it becomes a futile quest for the Holy Grail when one side follows it and the other shows scant respect for it.
China respects strength. Notice China's simmering tone towards Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines, which have resolutely defied its aggressive posturing and asserted their claims to the oil and gas-rich islands in the East and South China Sea. India should intensify cooperation with these countries and strengthen patrolling along its northeastern borders with China.
India, which holds a number of cards, should drive home the point to China that this is not 1962. Like China, India has also acquired economic biceps and should demonstrate resoluteness, without the incoherent platitudes that Indian politicians often utter, against China's border violations.
With its economy weakening, China can hardly afford an armed conflict with any nation, including India with which it has built up a lucrative trade and economic relationship. Globalisation has intensified interdependence amongst nations. Consequently, a country trying to hurt another can do so only at the peril of hurting itself. China has become dependent on Indian raw material-supply; its steel industry, for example, could face problems if India stopped iron ore shipments to China. India could also restrict the import of Chinese low-end, labour-intensive consumer goods that pour into India's market.
Even with the US, which touts India as a "strategic partner", India's relationship is asymmetrical. Washington resolutely follows its own interests, be it strategic, security-related or economic, not sparing friends or foes. The surveillance of the Indian Embassy in Washington proves the point.
Manmohan Singh, who will visit Washington in October, will hog the US glare, a "bright spot" for a man facing the dark ignominy of going down in history as India's weakest prime minister who headed a government with the worst corruption record.
The mood in Washington has also dramatically changed. Singh will face many pointed "what-have-you-to-offer" questions, particularly about defence contracts for American companies, IPR protection, market reforms etc. Whether Singh, notorious for his stony silence and lackadaisical approach, can forcefully raise concerns such as visas for Indian workers, the Indian embassy's surveillance, Afghanistan, Pakistan-related terrorism etc and assert India's interests, is another thing.

what is 0.5 x TSB? - (Apr/30/2010 )
What is 0.5 x TSB? my guess is a diluted form of TSB. I've also seen methods call for 1 x TSB.
Other question; if I purchase TSB media already made up and I need to add something (like powdered saponin for neutralization), can I re-autoclave it? I'm just thinking of damaging the nutrients if autoclaved too many times. Or, maybe it's better to just dissolve the powder in water and sterile-filtrate it...thoughts?
0.5 means usually only half the amount of nutrients (so diluted 1:2).
I would filter-sterilise the additives. Otherwise sugar burns or metals can form precipitates etc.

MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins are interested in acquiring running back Tyrone Wheatley from the New York Giants, and a deal may be completed as early as Friday, when the NFL trading period begins.
The teams reached a verbal agreement on a trade that would send a low-round draft pick to the Giants, The Miami Herald quoted sources with the Giants and the NFL Players Association as saying.
"We've had conversations," Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson said in a statement Wednesday. "But I'm not going to comment further about the nature of those discussions."
Wheatley's agent, Joel Segal, didn't return phone calls seeking comment.
The 6-foot, 235-pound Wheatley carried just 14 times for 52 yards for the Giants last season. He would give the Dolphins a big back in short-yardage situations, a problem for them last year.
Wheatley, 27, was a first-round draft pick in 1995. His best season was in 1997, when he rushed for 583 yards, averaging 3.8 per carry.

THE PROPOSED unpaid leave arrangement for staff in the public service would cost those earning €35,000 up to €100 per month, trade union Unite has estimated.
Unite is the first union to indicate there could be unease among members over the proposed outline deal between the Government and unions which would see public servants take 12 days' unpaid leave next year as a temporary measure.
In a memo to members, Unite said its position was that it "had no mandate from members to negotiate pay cuts.As far as Unite is concerned, the position has been that the strike on November 24th was not to minimise the impact of pay cuts but to oppose pay cuts of any nature which the Government was threatening."
Unite represents about 6,000 public service members, mainly craft workers, in health, education and local authority areas.
The introduction of the 12-day unpaid leave arrangement represents the first stage in the unions' alternative plan for reducing the public sector pay bill. This measure would be replaced in 2011 by a transformation programme for the public service involving job reductions, improved productivity and work practice changes.
The Unite memo details a number of proposals that featured in discussions, including a review of allowances, overtime and premium pay; areview of working hours and the working week; a review of on-call arrangements; redeployment and flexibility; and a suggestion of an additional hour per week (education sector academic grades) to be available to facilitate, at the discretion of management, teaching and learning in the institutes.
Impact general secretary Peter McLoone, the chief negotiator in the talks with the Government, told members yesterday in a bulletin that the transformation programme was expected to deliver savings "worth billions of euro".
Talks on this modernisation programme for parts of the public service – the Civil Service, education, local authorities and health – continued yesterday between public sector unions and Government officials and resume today.
Trade union leaders said yesterday that further savings on top of the unpaid leave arrangement could be needed for next year.
Speaking at the launch of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions' pre-budget submission, Jack O'Connor of Siptu said Government negotiators had maintained the unpaid leave scheme would not generate enough in savings.
"Efforts are being made today to look at what other measures could be taken to enable the formulation of a proposal that would be consistent with budgetary requirements," he said.

AMP Buys Bank Bonds as Macquarie Hunts Yield: Australia CreditCandice Zachariahs and Kristine Aquino
AMP Capital Investors Ltd., Macquarie Funds Group and BT Investment Management Ltd. are betting on the bonds of Australia's banks in 2013 after leading returns among the nation's debt managers in the fourth quarter.
AMP Capital Corporate Bond Fund gained 2.3 percent in the three months to Dec. 31, followed by Macquarie Core Plus Australian Fixed Interest Fund's 1.8 percent and BT Enhanced Credit's 1.5 percent, according to Morningstar Inc. The 0.7 percent average return for 22 portfolios tracked beat the 0.2 percent for the nation's broad market bond index, the data show.
The investors all favor Australian financial notes that are beating government bonds for an eighth month as central banks from Europe to the U.S. pour unprecedented amounts of cash into their economies, spurring funds to buy higher-yielding assets. AMP and Macquarie are also buying residential mortgage-backed securities as property prices recover after the central bank cut its benchmark lending rate to a half-century low of 3 percent.
"Globally and in Australia, we've seen good demand for income from corporate bonds," said Jeff Brunton, who oversees AMP's top-ranked A$1.8 billion bond fund as head of credit. "When markets do get the inevitable jitters, corporate debt buyers will be well-supported."
Brunton favors securities issued by Australian and U.S. financial firms and domestic RMBS.
A second Macquarie offering and Perennial Australian Bond Fund rounded out the top five in the Morningstar rankings, as they benefited last quarter from the best returns for corporate paper relative to sovereign debt since June 2009.
ECB Actions
The bonds of banks, states and top-rated overseas borrowers rose last year as the European Central Bank pledged to buy unlimited amounts of government debt to counter speculation of a euro breakup. The Bank of Japan said Jan. 22 it will shift to Federal Reserve-style open-ended asset purchases.
In Australia, the central bank has lowered rates six times since Nov. 1, 2011, to spur the non-mining economy as a commodities investment boom cools.
The extra yield investors demand to purchase Australian corporate debt instead of government securities dropped to 149 basis points on Jan. 29, the least since January 2008, and down from 286 a year ago, Bank of America Merrill Lynch data show. It narrowed by 135 basis points last year.
Spreads Contracting
"Whilst we have a positive credit outlook, the velocity of credit spread contraction has been slowing in January," said Justin Davey, who oversees about A$560 million in the BT Enhanced Credit Fund. "The strong credit market rally in the second half of 2012 is unlikely to be replicated in 2013."
After benefiting from positions in financial companies and industrial names like Wesfarmers last year, Davey continues to favor those holdings along with debt by infrastructure firms.
The Merrill Lynch corporate bond index returned 0.04 percent to investors since Dec. 31 after gaining 11.5 percent in 2012 to beat global peers for a third year.
The bonds of financial firms climbed 0.2 percent this year and the yield they offer over sovereign securities slid to 147 basis points from 157 on Dec. 31. Industrial notes declined 0.2 percent and offered a spread of 167 basis points over government securities, down from 172 at the end of last year.
Chasing Yield
"The chase for yield continues," said Joris Hillmann, who helps oversee the equivalent of $31.4 billion as senior portfolio manager for fixed income at Macquarie Funds Group, a unit of the country's largest investment bank. "Markets at the moment are more willing to take risk on the belief that central banks and governments will continue to provide unprecedented levels of support."
The rate on 10-year Australian government bonds rose 20 basis points this week to 3.52 percent as of 1:57 p.m. in Sydney, extending its advance from 3.27 percent on Dec. 31. The yield touched a record low 2.698 percent on June 4. Similar-maturity U.S. Treasuries were yielding 2.01 percent.
Australia's sovereign debt fell 0.8 percent in January, a poised for a fourth month of declines. The drop was the smallest among nations with AAA grades from all three major ratings companies, as Prime Minister Julia Gillard's pledge to return the budget to surplus supports demand for the country's bonds.
Election Set
Gillard said today that Australia will hold elections on Sept. 14, giving her minority Labor government almost eight months to close the gap in opinion polls with Tony Abbott's Liberal-National opposition.
Macquarie's Hillmann is buying some state-government bonds, investment-grade bank debt and RMBS, while holding fewer Australian-dollar notes sold by highly-rated overseas borrowers than the benchmarks he uses to gauge performance.
The debt of the nation's six states and two territories -- often referred to as semi-government securities -- lost 0.6 percent in January following an 8.5 percent gain last year, Merrill Lynch data show. An index that includes state debt and kangaroo bonds, or Australian notes issued by overseas borrowers, is poised for a 0.5 percent decline, the indexes show.
Glenn Feben, head of fixed interest at Perennial, also favors state debt, particularly securities issued by the nation's largest semi-government borrower Queensland. He doesn't hold any sovereign securities, judging yields are too low.
"Spreads continue to be moderately attractive," said Feben, who oversees about A$6.5 billion. "In what is likely to be a reasonably stable yield environment, the value of additional yield is important and hence we continue to run overweight positions in," financial and state debt, he said.

THE family of a pensioner left with horrific facial injuries after falling in hospital have had an apology from Scotland's largest health board.
Terminally ill Annie Daly, 85, who died in November, lay undiscovered for hours after falling when staff let her go to the toilet alone.
She was found with black eyes and bruises on the floor of a day room at the Victoria Hospital in Glasgow.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde launched an investigation into a complaint made by Annie's daughter Isabella Foley, 58, last September.
As a result they have promised to take action to "limit the risk" of a similar incident.
Head of nursing Marion MacDonald wrote: "It can be difficult to adequately convey a sincere apology in writing, however, I wish to say how sorry I am for the additional distress this has evidently caused."
Now Annie's family, all from Castlemilk, Glasgow, have split in a bitter row over her ashes.
Isabella claimed her brother stole her ashes from a funeral parlour and was holding them to ransom for £1500.
Francis Daly, 63, admitted taking his mum's ashes from the funeral directors and says he plans to keep them until her sanctum at the crematorium is ready.

This Light-O-Rama Visualizer dialog allows you to set various parameters for a fixture. This includes things like the name, channels assigned, bulb size and shape, et cetera. Each different type of fixture (strings, floods, etc.) has different requirements, so some sections may or may not be visible and some fields may not be available, depending upon the type of the fixture.
The name of the fixture. This descriptive name can be shown on the editor window, and is presented in the object selection area. The system will attempt to create a unique name for new fixtures. It is not, however, required that all names be unique.
This is the type of fixture. It cannot be changed.
Use this field to add any comments about the fixture. This field is not used by the system; it is only here to help with your design, and can be used any way you see fit. For example, you may want to track the total number of amps this fixture will draw, what it is built from, et cetera.
If this fixture is part of a prop, then the prop is listed here. If the fixture is not assigned to a prop, "(None)" is displayed. You can also assign or remove this fixture from a prop by clicking on the dropdown list.
The layer this fixture currently resides on.
Locked fixtures cannot be selected in the main editing area. This prevents accidental changes to the fixture. The lock can be enabled or disabled here as well as in the object selection area.

The Virtual Bulbs section allows you to specify the parameters of the bulbs being generated, as well as see a sample representation of those bulbs. Depending on the fixture type, some fields may not be available. For example, you cannot change the spacing or the shape of the bulbs of a CCR fixture.
For flood light fixtures, this section replaces the "Virtual Bulb" section.
Depending on the fixture type, you can specify that this fixture uses either normal or RGB channels. Clicking on any row here will bring up the channel settings for that particular channel. This section does not appear for CCRs since they are always RGB and are assigned channels differently.
Depending on the type of fixture and the type of channels, this section allows you to specify up to 16 different channels. Clicking on a row here will bring up the Channel Settings dialog box.
This section only appears if this is a CCR fixture.

now that this episode been aired in japan will it air after the gym battle here in the us or will it be aired when the show over here get to this point?
I love Cilan!!
Not my favorite episode.
Sure, there were some good parts, but there were more plot holes and items that didn't make sense due to it being delayed. Why couldn't they make it more sensical?
"For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen."
Douglas Adams
Spoiler:- Spoiler:
BTW with all the editing in this ep, shouldn't it make this ep 37 of BW, basically making ep 25 and 27-39 now 23-36? Just saying that would make the most sense.Plus, it would prevent confusion for those catching up in the series.
Last edited by MissingNo1130; 28th June 2011 at 4:00 AM.
Why was this episode delayed for airing... Will it be delayed in English as well?
Likely so, due to the retcons.
On the other hand, since this ep occurs in a city, I'm wondering why they didn't just make this ep part of the Nimbasa set? At least then, the ending wouldn't have had to be redone. True, though the beginning of the Nimbasa mini-series proper would have had to been redone, but still...
Ash was 10 when he started and is still 10 today.
My boss was in college when Ash started and he's still in college today.
I'm part of the staff at Project Pokemon! Smod in forums, AOP in IRC, Administrator on Shoddy. Come visit us. Our Project is Pokemon!
...I don't know, I watched this, and in my opinion this still really fits in better as BW026 than between the Archeops and Zorua episodes. Yeah, Bianca leaves at the end, but you can just say they all hooked up on the way out of Castellia and Emolga antics ensue.
Between the obvious surrounding of Castellia City, Ash is looking up James' Yamask, everyone acting shocked that Cilan loves to fish, etc. etc. Yeah, this is still BW026 to me. =P
Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-
"If I had my way in DP, Ash would've hit the league with: Pikachu, Ambipom (his to keep), Torterra (Grass/Starter), Lucario (Ace), Chingling (Cute), Bidoof (Water-type) and Heatran (Fire-type)."
Spoiler:- GenVII Starter names speculation:
I want to get credit for if they turn out true. Dated 1:54am on 6-6-16:
- Rowlet: Arrowl - LOL I WAS WRONG!
- Litten: Burstiger - LOL I WAS WRONG!
- Popplio: Bubblaid - LOL I WAS WRONG!
The second line is meant to be sarcastic.. Though there was a random trainer with a Heatran at the Sinnoh League..
I don't like fishing and I used Iris an example.
No patience.
Not a bad episode, quite enjoyed seeing Cilan go overboard on fishing though do we really need him going totally overboard, like Brock with the girls. Also liked Iris's way of fishing. One highlight was TR actually being practical and not going after Pikachu.
Did we really have put the retcons in especially when your not going to bother editing other stuff out like Ash scanning Yanmask & Bianca still with the group come the Emogla episode. Ya should've just left it in Castelia City & broadcast this as episode 26.
My Grandmother always said...
"She who walks the path of heaven will rule over everything"
Mana (4914-3452-1470) (X)
Elsa (ORAS)
Gyarados, Octillary, and Azumarill
So, finally aired this ... taboo-ish episode, after watch it, I really don´t know why it was delayed
- Apparently Ash has no shame to being in his underwear drying his clothes in the middle of the street
- I ... really didn´t got that Team Rocket plan, I mean ... if they just want water Pokémon for Giovanni, why they don´t just catch´em by themselves?
- This time, Iris made the episode with her fishing skills XD, and Team Rocket disqualifying her for do that makes their plan EVEN MORE pointless :S
- If this episode was aired in the original time, I would found it Cilan´s fishing ability useless, but now that we know thanks to that he got Stunfisk, it´s just great
- No Tympole here, then why Ash didn´t scanned that Tympoles from BW035?
- I wanted Bianca to get that female Frillish, it suits her
- I love to see Pansage battling, a grass Pokémon that doesn´t puke Solarbeam is nice for a change, I wish it could learn a new grass type attack
Not a bad episode, everything about Cilan is plain awesome, even if he didn´t too much in this episode, but at least he doesn´t sit in the background, same with Iris
It was nice to see the femal Frillish form, and Iris and Cilan's fishing skills were cool. I kind of would have liked Cialn to keep the Basculin, but it wouldn't have been able to do anything on land.
JJM "Unova is ours! And we did it all for the boss!"
Thank god! I was worried they were going to alliterate again....
Why didn't team rocket escape with jet packs from the beginning? haha
"History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake."
An okay episode. I just REALLY wish Cilan kept Basculin... I've been raising one to prove to people it's not entirely useless.
Also, everyone keeps saying it was delayed or something? Could someone explain that?
It's a good episode. Ash and friends participate in a fishing competition, only to find out it was run by Team Rocket. They were going to send the Pokemon to the boss, only to find out a Frillish foiled their plans.
They finally air this episode because it was skipped in japan because of the earthquake. Now I wish they would air the Team Plasma episodes.
And I agree with you 100% on Basculin. Cilan should have kept his, and the species is far from useless. Ever seen a Basculin's Adaptability-boosted Aqua Tail in action? It destroys things. Utterly.

The Interesting Tourist Attractions in South Miami BeachPosted by Continental Tour Guide in America | 0 comments
South Miami Beach is full of great tourist attraction for visitors and residents alike. This list presents tourist attraction in Miami beach.
South Miami beaches lies on the southeast side of the Florida Peninsula, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Biscayne Bay lagoon and SouthMiami Beach. The city's pleasant winter climate makes it a very popular holiday destination, particularly for those in the northern regions of the country. The beaches of Greater Miami are a major highlight, as is the Art Deco architecture of South Miami Beach. Outside the city but nearby is Everglades National Park, known for its unique ecosystem and wildlife.
Miami tourist attractions are hard-pressed to compete with what nature put there. Even so, the artistry exhibited Miami city attractions gives beaches a run for their money. Foremost among them is the 1916 winter estate called Vizcaya, an iconic Miami destination that was painstakingly designed to mimic an authentic Italian villa. Another landmark from the same era, the Venetian Pool, is a fantasy of grottos, waterfalls and Mediterranean architecture, constructed around an abandoned rock quarry.
Tourist Attraction in South Miami Beach
Nikki Beach Resort Club
Nikki Beach Resort Club Ultra posh and ultra chic dining experience. This club has a long reputation as being the flagship of the South Beach scene. This is the perfect place to have lunch or dinner. Their calendar stays jam packed with events, socials and seasonal festivals. Located at the helm of South Beach at 1 Ocean Drive, South Miami Beach.
Lummus Park Beach
Because South Beach is such a broad description, and because the varying beaches here go on for miles, we thought we'd narrow it down. Lummus Park, the area of the beach located along Ocean Drive from 5th to 15th Street, is the all-encompassing South Beach experience. This is the strip of sand that is always the most crowded, which makes for excellent people watching.
Bass Museum
Bass Museum Located in South Beach Miami, the Bass uses its unique location to attract a diverse group of patrons young and old alike. Their focus is in dynamic conversation pieces blended with contemporary art and their youth programs inspire creativity and positive growth.
Art Deco District
The Art Deco District in South Miami Beach brings back memories of an earlier time in Florida with its wonderfully restored 1930s Art Deco buildings. These pastel colored historic structures display neon signs and awnings that cover outdoor dining areas. Many of them front Ocean Drive, overlooking the beach and ocean.
A favorite among locals and visitors, Tantra has the long standing reputation of being at the forefront when it comes to romantic things to do in Miami. It's distinction for fine dining make for a great date night. The restaurant menu tempts the senses and sensibilities with its self proclaimed aphrodisiac beauty cuisine. After dinner stay for drinks and dance the night away in their lounge. Tantra is located at 1445 Pennsylvania Ave. South Miami Beach.
Bayside Marketplace
Bayside Marketplace is a large outdoor style mall with more than 150 specialty and tourist shops, numerous cafes and restaurants, and daily live entertainment. Visitors will find some well known chain stores as well as many unique, one of a kind places. The marketplace draws locals as well as tourists attraction.As may be evident in the name, the mall is located along Miami's waterfront, looking out over docks and boats. Many people come here simply to soak up the atmosphere. Tour boats leave from here, visiting locations around Biscayne Bay. As well, there is a water taxi service to South Miami Beach and downtown hotels located in the area.
If you time it perfect, your nightlife experience can be one of those rare free things to do in Miami. Some hotels in South Beach offer VIP cards that allow guest to enter the popular nightclubs complimentary. Others hotels assist their guests by calling ahead to put their name on the clubs guest list. Remember timing is everything, so arrive early and dressed to impress for the best chances to gain entry in top clubs. See the Miami Nightlife Guide, which lists the 10 top hottest places.

'God of Carnage' review: Over-the-top funny
Published 4:00 am, Saturday, March 31, 2012
God of Carnage: By Yasmina Reza. Directed by Rick Lombardo. Through April 15. San Jose Repertory Theatre, 101 Paseo de San Antonio. 90 minutes. $29-$74. (408) 367-7255. www.sjrep.com.
Comedy of manners turns into full-blown farce at the hands of Yasmina Reza in "God of Carnage." That's a bit disappointing after savoring the French playwright's lighter and more piercing touch in plays like "Art" and "The Unexpected Man." But it can be very funny in the no-holds-barred version now at San Jose Repertory Theatre.
Adults behaving like spoiled children has been a pretty surefire gambit for comedy at least since Aristophanes. Reza's ploy of cracking open - make that exploding - the civilized veneer of parents trying to have a grown-up discussion about a playground fight between their 11-year-old sons doesn't do much more than exploit that idea to the fullest. But it's been a certified hit onstage (if not in Roman Polanski's film version), taking the Olivier and Tony best-play awards in London and New York.
Star-studded casts certainly didn't hurt its popular runs in Paris (with Isabelle Huppert), London (Ralph Fiennes, Janet McTeer) and on Broadway (James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden). San Jose Rep Artistic Director Rick Lombardo's staging proves it doesn't need big names to get its full quotient of laughs.

A co-production with Arizona Theatre Company, where Lombardo staged it with the same cast last fall, this is the first of what's turned out to be a twofold Bay Area premiere (Marin Theatre Company mounts its own version in May). Even if you don't know the story, the blood-red carpet and massive, rough-hewn stone fireplace of the expensively furnished, art-book-rich living room set is a clever tip-off.
Lombardo and his designers oversell the Stone Age metaphor in the end. This Americanized version of Christopher Hampton's English translation and the cast need no such help.
This is the home of the Novaks. Veronica (Amy Resnick) and Michael (Bob Sorenson) are hosting Annette (Joey Parsons) and Alan Raleigh (Benjamin Evett), whose son has bashed in two of their son's teeth.
If the battle lines between the couples are clear, the significant glances of the wives signal marital rifts that will spin the comedy into surprising twists. And that's before Michael breaks out the rum.
Evett's crude, callous, impatient Alan is a comedy all to himself - a lawyer constantly on his cell phone trying to ward off just deserts for a dangerously irresponsible pharmaceutical company. Sorenson cleverly milks the comedy of the more domesticated Michael's caveman within.
But it's the wives who take things to their slapstick heights and most hilarious bad-behavior depths. Resnick is a petite dynamo of cultivated, politically correct superiority, bossiness and self-absorption. Parsons is an ever-evolving revelation in the comic resources of her elastic features, flexible long and lean physique and surprising, even frightening, vocal range. It's the carnage they wreak that gives Reza's thin play its comic heft.

at its two facilities: downtime of no more than 10 minutes at a time, says Mike Luter, CTRC's CTO.
Located 22 miles apart, CTRC replicates data between two 1.8TB Clariion arrays using a Cisco SN5428 iSCSI router over a Gigabit Ethernet MAN.
By using iSCSI over Gigabit Ethernet rather than dedicated Fibre, CTRC saved 50% in telecom charges, Luter estimates.
CTRC is also using a new SN5428 feature--Network Boot, announced this October--to boot a server from a storage array located at its other location.
"If I lose a drive, [the] EMC [Clariion] protects me because I have RAID-5. If I lose two drives, EMC protects me because I have a hot spare. If I lose a server, EMC doesn't protect me," Luter says. With SN5428's Network Boot, Luter simply resets the MAC address listed in the DHCP server.
CTRC could lose a server and its Gigabit connection, but that's pretty unlikely. Says Luter: "You can never be 100%, but we're pretty close."

Dealing With Life's Nightmares
Are nightmare causing you distress? Are you one of the "one-out-of-two" adults who have nightmares? Are you one of the 8 out of 100 adults who is plagued by frequent nightmares?
Many people know that children have nightmares from time to time, but many adults do, too. Adults who have severe nightmare-induced dysfunction may suffer from day problems, too, such as fear of sleeping, an inability to work well due to fractured sleep at night, and extreme tiredness that leads to overeating, depression, or irritability. Adults who have experienced extreme stress, such as rape, war, or torture, often struggle with nightmares for years.
Most of these people assume they have to just endure it, hoping it will stop. But researchers say that nightmares can be dramatically lessened and halted with therapy. One therapy that is gaining more attention is IRT, or imagery rehearsal therapy.
IRT is a three step process that puts the dreamer in the director's seat, rewriting the script of the nightmare. The steps are:
- Write a brief description of a recent nightmare. If the most recent nightmare is too upsetting to think about, pick an older one.
- Imagine a way to change the nightmare. Rely on intuition to make any appropriate change.
- For a few moments each day, imagine the altered version of the dream. Paint a mental picture of the new version.
Barry Krakow, MD, a director of the Maimonides International Nightmare Treatment Center in Albuquerque, N.M., says that studies have shown 70% to 80% of people who try IRT do get relief.
Some people who have suffered for years with horrific nightmares find it difficult to believe that a simple technique could be so effective.
But it works for many people. One woman who had chronic dreams about being in a concentration camp chose to imagine herself in a summer camp where she could walk freely. Another dream about drowning changed when the deep water became shallow enough to stand in. Another nightmare sufferer whose dream involved threatening sharks, imagined the sharks as dolphins instead. My favorite story of a re-imagined dream was one in which the patient having nightmares of being chased, turned the pursuer into chocolate –and ate him.
So, after reading about this, I tried it.
In my nightmare, I had dreamed that the titanic-like boat my family and I were in, hit a tidal wave and flipped underwater, immediately surrounded by too much water to breathe. I had one breath of air, and I had to find my children and get out. The dream was so scary that I had woken myself up.
So, the next day, I imagined the scariest part of my dream differently: the boat popped up to the surface quickly, rather than filling with water when it went under. All the water drained away fast. My kids were wearing orange life vests and everyone was laughing, as if it had been a ride at an amusement park.
I didn't remember my dream that night, but at least I didn't have the nightmare again. And just re-imagining the nightmare as a normal dream took much of the panic out of whether I might dream that way again. It gave my brain an alternative option, a ray of hope.
Dr. Shelby Harris, PsyD, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center's Sleep-Wake Disorders Center in New York City, says that IRT "gives the patient control over the nightmare." She says that after several sessions practicing with a therapist, some patients dream the new ending just as they envision it, while some dream another version of it, and some stop having the nightmare completely. http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/features/when-nightmares-wont-go-away?page=2

Opportunity and Challenge in a New Era
By Mark Weber
With the dawning of a new century, Holocaust revisionism is making headlines everywhere. Around the globe there is real ferment, a new surge of media attention on Holocaust skepticism, and growing criticism of the oppressive impact of the powerful "Holocaust industry."
"Holocaust deniers" are, of course, still widely portrayed as misguided or malevolent. But we are seeing more and more "mainstream" concessions to historical truth, and open acknowledgment of "Holocaust" manipulation and exploitation. More than ever, the iconic facade seems to be cracking.
In late December, a much-discussed documentary film about American gas chamber expert Fred Leuchter was released for public showing, to the accompaniment of commentary in nearly every major American daily paper. (In 1988 Leuchter carried out a forensic examination of the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz and Birkenau, and concluded that they were never used to kill people as alleged.) The film "Mr. Death" attempts, of course, to discredit Leuchter's findings; it portrays him as both arrogant and self-deluded; it completely ignores the investigations and studies of other specialists that impressively corroborate the results of his on-site investigation. The director Errol Morris portrays as quite natural and unexceptional the outrageous campaign that destroyed Leuchter's career as the country's foremost execution hardware specialist, and even presents without criticism the hateful comments of two of the perpetrators.
But on balance, the film has the merit of focusing renewed public attention on the Holocaust debate, prompting at least a few independent observers to say the unsayable. Film critic Godfrey Cheshire, for one, in the weekly New York Press, told readers that "'Mr. Death' is the closest thing we're likely to get to a film that questions Holocaustolatry, a mild form of which is now firmly established as part of our official culture." The Holocaust, Cheshire went on, has become a "myth" of "supernatural character," and "an untouchable, quasi-religious event fraught with a Significance quite beyond anything that mere history might support."
Another indicator of the changing climate is a recent front-page Los Angeles Times article, "Danger in Denying Holocaust?" For the first time ever, a major American daily newspaper highlighted the fact that in France, Germany, and some other European countries, scholars are jailed, fined and forced into exile for questioning government-ordained Holocaust history.
Written by veteran journalist Kim Murphy, the lengthy January 7 piece begins by citing the persecution of a young German chemist, Germar Rudolf, for concluding -- on the basis of a detailed on-site forensic examination -- that no one was killed, or could have been killed, in the alleged homicidal gas chambers of Auschwitz and Birkenau. As the article goes on to note, this doctoral candidate at Stuttgart University lost his job at the respected Max Planck Institute, saw his doctoral degree put on hold, was sentenced to 14 months in prison, and finally was forced into exile -- all because of his carefully considered evaluation of Holocaust "gas chamber" claims.
More than a few readers of the Times article must certainly wonder: Just what kind of "historical truth" is it that must be protected by the armor plate of police, lawsuits, fines and imprisonment? Because the report suggests that revisionists might at least have a point about the issue of academic freedom, the Jewish lobby lost no time in furiously attacking both the Times and Murphy for this "immoral" article.
Even more important in terms of public awareness is something that happened in London on January 11. On that day began the libel trial brought by British historian David Irving against American Jewish activist Deborah Lipstadt. In his opening statement to the court (reprinted elsewhere in this Journal issue), Irving charges that Lipstadt and her British publisher severely damaged his reputation and career through her book, Denying the Holocaust, a strident work that also attacks professors Robert Faurisson and Arthur Butz, revisionist activist Bradley Smith, and the Institute for Historical Review.
Further complicating this already complex case, authorities in Germany announced shortly after the trial began that they would try to extradite Irving to that country on the basis of a fine imposed on him by a German court for having told a meeting in Munich in 1990 that the "gas chamber" at Auschwitz, shown to hundreds of thousands of tourists yearly, is a postwar dummy. Amazingly, one of the witnesses for Lipstadt in the London trial, Robert-Jan van Pelt, has acknowledged the truth of precisely this point in his detailed 1996 study of Auschwitz. (For more on this, see "The 'Gas Chamber' of Auschwitz I" in this Journal issue.)
Irving, a literal and figurative David, faces a Goliath. Day after day he sits alone on one side of the courtroom; arrayed against him sits a legal team of some 20 lawyers and para-legal specialists (not to mention the phalanx of support staff posted outside the courtroom). Each day he walks alone into the court house, carrying his own books and documents.
Win or lose, Irving is a marked man, a pariah -- more than ever, a target of his enemies' implacable hatred. Independent observers marvel at his unflagging confidence and verbal skill in the courtroom. But even an Atlas would falter under the great emotional and psychological burden of this ordeal -- especially because so much of the court battle focuses on a field of history that, as Irving concedes, "is not my patch."
Whatever the outcome, and whatever wavering or waffling the strain of battle might occasion, Irving is performing a great public service by heightening public awareness of the international debate on this much abused chapter of history.
In a recent essay about the trial published in a major British daily, a prominent Jewish Holocaust historian, David Cesarani, writes with concern about what he calls "the growing backlash against the so-called 'Holocaust industry'." He cites as evidence the new book by Jewish-American writer Peter Novick, The Holocaust in American Life, and a forthcoming book, The Holocaust Industry, by another Jewish scholar, Norman Finkelstein. This "intellectual backlash," Cesarani continues, "is taking hold in mainstream and media circles."
Perhaps the most remarkable fallout thus far from the Irving-Lipstadt case is "The Holocaust on Trial," a front-cover feature article in the current Atlantic Monthly (Feb. 2000), written by London-based American-Jewish writer D. D. Guttenplan. This 19-page essay begins by conceding that "political calculation" has "influenced our knowledge of the Holocaust from the very beginning," and that "what everybody knows about the Holocaust isn't always true" -- a point that this Journal has been making for 20 years.
Guttenplan notes that no one was ever gassed at Dachau and Belsen, but says nothing about the far-reaching implications of such concessions. Though he implicitly acknowledges that a mass of historical "evidence," including court judgments and many "eyewitness testimonies," is worthless, he can neither acknowledge nor publicly regret that men were put to death on the basis of such bogus "evidence."
"Though it is considered impolite to mention them in public," Guttenplan writes, "there are still a number of 'live questions' about the Holocaust," among them the "delicate ... question of survivor testimony." Much of this "testimony," he acknowledges, is just plain wrong.
Particularly eyebrow-raising is what Guttenplan tells readers of this leading intellectual/literary magazine about the decades-long efforts by organized Jewry to suppress historical scholarship, even by Jewish academics. As a result of such efforts, "certain aspects of the Holocaust and its aftermath ... became not just controversial but unmentionable."
As long ago as the early 1960s, Guttenplan shows, Jewish historian Raul Hilberg was accused of "impiety" and "defaming the dead" in the pages of Commentary, the American Jewish Committee monthly, because he had taken note of the extent to which wartime German authorities relied on Jews to assist in the "final solution." Officials at Yad Vashem, Israel's central Holocaust memorial center, even refused Hilberg access to their archives.
Also in the 1960s, Jewish historian Barbara Tuchman attacked Hannah Arendt for her much-discussed book, Eichmann in Jerusalem, accusing the German-born Jewish intellectual of "a conscious desire to support Eichmann's defense." The Anti-Defamation League similarly condemned Arendt's "evil book," hurling charges at her that, as Guttenplan notes, were "not just false but the reverse of the truth."
Another Jewish historian, Princeton professor Arno Mayer, was, in Guttenplan's words, "practically excommunicated" by organized Jewry for concluding, in his 1989 work on the "final solution," that Hitler was far more concerned with annihilating Communism than he was with decimating Jews. "It isn't only Holocaust deniers who twist facts, obscure the truth and, in Deborah Lipstadt's phrase, create 'immoral equivalencies'," writes Guttenplan. "... Time and time again those who insist on the truth in all its 'complex, unsentimental,' paradoxical, and ambiguous detail are shouted down."
Another indication of the general worldwide trend is a column about the London trial in the weekly New York Press (Jan. 18). "Irving is right to be upset that an influential minority with a political agenda succeeded in destroying his career," comments George Szamuely.
After pointing out that the epithet "Holocaust denier" is an elastic one, the columnist writes:
In Denying the Holocaust, Lipstadt wrote that Pat Buchanan's "attacks on the credibility of the survivor testimony are standard elements of Holocaust denial." Yet, a few years ago [August 1986] the director of Yad Vashem's archive [Shmuel Krakowski] told a reporter that most of the 20,000 testimonies it had collected were unreliable: "Many were never in the places where they claim to have witnessed atrocities, while others relied on secondhand information given them by friends or passing strangers." Is he also then a "Holocaust denier"?
"We now know," Szamuely continues, "that many of the most lurid stories of the Holocaust are not true ... Whether Irving wins or loses his libel case, we will probably find out that our current knowledge of the Holocaust is much flimsier than we had believed."
Here at the IHR, we are generally pleased with the overall trend and guardedly optimistic about the future. To be sure, we still face powerful enemies who, to paraphrase Guttenplan, are determined to "shout down" those who insist on the truth. At the same time, our adversaries are slowly but inexorably being forced to make ever more grudging concessions to truth.
With a recently expanded staff, we're working hard to bring new books into print, prepare for the next full-scale IHR Conference (May 27-29 in southern California), and get the Journal back on schedule (which is why this issue is a combined one). Through greater and more solid awareness of the past, we're doing our best to build a better future for us all.
Written January 24, 2000, by Mark Weber, and published in The Journal of Historical Review, Sept.-Dec. 1999 (Vol. 18, No. 5-6), pages 2-3, 5.

Best Breakfast, Best Late-Night Restaurant
Orphan Andy's
Night owls and early risers cross paths at the Castro's 24-hour diner Orphan Andy's, which has welcomed patrons since 1977. This greasy spoon is one of the last surviving eateries from the gayborhood's heyday, when Harvey Milk was galvanizing a movement and a new generation of LGBT people were making San Francisco their home.
Jammed after the gay bars close down in the wee hours of the night, it fills up again with a pre-work breakfast crowd. Sundays often find a line out of the door during brunch hours.
Orphan Andy's Restaurant, 3991 17th Street, San Francisco, (415) 864-9795.
Best Brunch, Best Outdoor Patio
Cafe Flore
Another stalwart from the 1970s is the corner eatery Cafe Flore that serves as a gateway between the Castro and Duboce Park neighborhoods. With a Parisian flair to its decor and an indoor area reminiscent of an oversized glass greenhouse, it has been serving up caffeinated drinks and down-home cooking for decades.
Its sidewalk tables and outdoor patio seating beckon an eclectic clientele on warm San Francisco days. At brunch try the Hawaiian French toast and dream of whiling away the day in the island state.
Cafe Flore, 2298 Market Street, San Francisco, (415) 621-8579. http://www.cafeflore.com.
Best Lunch
Diners have been enjoying the comfort food at Chow since 1997. Its menu changes with the seasons, but lunch favorites include the Cobb salad, any of its wood-oven pizzas or the organic veggie burger with tzatziki and avocado. At the Church Street location next-door bar the Pilsner Inn doubles as the restaurant's waiting area on busy days.
There are also Chows near Golden Gate Park on 9th Avenue and in the East Bay cities Lafayette and Danville.
Chow, 215 Church Street, San Francisco, (415) 552-2469. http://www.chowfoodbar.com/index.html.
Best Dinner
Opened in 2002, Catch is known for serving fresh, affordable seafood in its historic perch on Market Street. The building is considered a local landmark, as it was the home to the AIDS Memorial Quilt back in the early days of the epidemic. It was also the first site of Harvey Milk's camera shop before he relocated to Castro Street.
The restaurant's fireplace in a heated patio area is a major draw on warmer evenings, while a jazz piano indoor beckons on colder nights. If dining alone, grab a seat at the bar and make yourself home for the evening.
Catch, 2362 Market Street, San Francisco, (415) 431-5000. http://www.catchsf.com/.
Best Dessert
Sweet Inspiration
Tempting the taste buds with its array of sweet and savory snacks is perennial favorite of Bay Area Reporter readers Sweet Inspiration. From its berry tarts to its wide assortment of cakes, this locally owned bakery is the perfect place to treat a date, cheat on a diet, or just indulge in a moment of pure sugar bliss. It's also a great go-to source for a birthday cake or last-minute dessert for a dinner party.
