Acquia employees join forces to help fight men's cancers
Woburn, MA – December 1, 2010 – Acquia, the company accelerating the adoption of open source social publishing, today announced, it has raised more than $17,500 for the Movember Foundation. At release time Acquia's team Fu ManDrupal's is ranked number 32 nationally of more than 100 teams. The funds raised through Movember's US campaign benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Several people in the Drupal Gardens forums have asked how they can eliminate the vertical gaps between major sections of their themes. Here's an illustration of these gaps.
Open..and Shut Even as we rapidly approach a future where most software lives on the web, with acronyms like HTML5 and SaaS pointing the way, it's easy to overlook a primary building blog of yesterday's web, Drupal, and its effects on the future web. Drupal founder Dries Buytaert claims that Drupal already powers one per cent of the web. Could it do more?
To my surprise, a lot of people that I interview at Acquia don't understand stock options or have never heard of it. This blog post explains what stock options are about. It is a very technical topic but for the sake of this post, I am going to keep it really simple and make some over-simplifications.
In essence, a stock option is a right given to an employee to purchase stock at some point in the future at a set price.
Last week in a restroom in New York city, I washed my hands inadvertently with mouthwash. It sounds silly, but it looked like the soap to me. The bathroom was so posh and the container it came in was deceptive: who expects to find mouthwash in a restroom? But, this wasn't a normal restroom.
I was at the Yale Club of NYC representing Drupal and Acquia, as well as trying to make the point that Drupal fits in the enterprise world.
Each year, the 'Mo' (slang for moustache) and November come together for Mo-vember.
At the beginning of the month, I joined the growing club of modern gentlemen who believe in the virtues of fine moustachery, immaculate grooming and growing a moustache for Movember. Along with me, about 20 other Acquians.
Now 10,000 sites strong, Acquia's hosted version of Drupal, Drupal Gardens, which debuted in January – is positioned not only to eliminate barriers to adoption of the open source content management system to a crowd that would rather be hands-off on the hosting, configuration, security and upgrade front. It also is positioned potentially to help push the Semantic Web ahead, bringing technologies such as RDF to the attention of a new swath of users if it successfully surfs the wave behind Drupal.
Drupal Gardens, the planned cloud version of the open source Drupal content management system, went into a public beta stage Thursday, thus making it widely available for tryouts , said Drupal founder Dries Buytaert.
Drupal software, support, and hosting company Acquia announced that its Drupal Gardens leaves private beta today. Drupal Gardens is a content management & social publishing system, offering "Drupal-as-a-service" and greatly simplifying the creation and management of Drupal websites.
Whether you want to call it open core or open source or something else entirely, the software as a service business model has been gaining popularity.
Among the companies that have achieved financial success while having open source software at its core is Acquia, co-founded by the original developer of the Drupal Project, Dries Buytaert. I had the opportunity today to chat via phone with Buytaert and Acquia's CEO, Tom Erickson, about Drupal, Acquia's business model and the future of open source.
We offer many tools and services to help you succeed with Drupal, learn more and get started for free.

MORENCI, MI (WTOL) - It has been nearly a year since Andrew, Alex and Tanner Skelton captured the hearts of many. However, as we near the anniversary of their disappearance, the boys still have not returned home.
The brothers' family and friends will hold a prayer vigil to keep their memory alive on Sunday.
"I, as the rest of the community, were in hopes that they would be found and brought home soon. A year is a long time," said Cyndee Sanders, a family friend.
Sanders and another family friend, Kathye Herrera, planned the vigil for many reasons, but especially the family. They said the last year has been tough for them, but it is time to regroup.
"It's important for the family. I think they need to reaffirm that the community is still there and caring," Herrera said.
For the first time, the boys' mother and her two daughters will conduct a prayer vigil. It will be held at Wakefield Park.
"It was important for it to be here at the park. It's a place the boys visited often," Sanders said.
R&W Nursery donated a Brandywine Maple in the boys' honor. The family chose the tree.
"They wanted something that would be big and sturdy, that would continue to be here for many, many years," Herrera said.
Soon the color of the tree will turn into a deep purple, making it stand out from the other trees in the park. A plaque with the boys' names will also be mounted by the tree.
"It's important to keep the awareness out that we're still looking," Sanders said. "We've not given up hope."
Herrera said the year has been full of ups and downs, but she said even on good days, they will never stop looking.
"Life goes on, but that doesn't mean that there's a day go by that those boys aren't on their minds and in their hearts," she said.
Sanders put together magnets with the boys' picture on it. They can be attached to cars to keep Andrew, Alex and Tanner's faces fresh in the public's minds. If you are interested in purchasing one, contact Sanders at email@example.com.

Cutting Back
- Monday, June 06, 2005
One evening, Milton shows his wife their latest telephone bill. "Rose, you just have to cut down on your calls. This bill is for over $300 and that's a very high cost for just 1 month."
"You're right, darling," Rose says, "I promise to do my best to curtail my calls."
"Thanks," says Milton. Milton starts to monitor the calls on a daily basis and is pleased to see that Rose is keeping to her promise. But then gradually, as he thought would happen, he sees the daily elapsed time start to increase again. Then one evening, as Rose dials a number and makes another call, Milton decides to discuss the situation with her when she puts down the phone, whenever that will be. Fifteen minutes later, Rose puts down the phone.
"What a surprise," says Milton sarcastically, "how come such a short call?"
"Oh, it was a wrong number, darling." she says.

As ECAC Hockey's only well-traveled league-wide reporter, I have been able to catch all but one of the non-Ivies in action through the first two weekends of the season. You can't blame me for not having seen Clarkson, as they opened outside the contiguous 48 and then brought only Sacred Heart into Cheel Arena to open the home slate on a weekend that my other options were Colgate-Miami and Union-Western. So, without further ado, here are my….
ECAC Hockey Non-Ivy Power Rankings (games I saw in bold):
- Union (1-0-2); 8-1 W vs Army, 2-2 T and 3-3 T with WMU
- Quinnipiac (5-1-0); 2-1 L/4-3 W @ OSU, 5-3 W vs HC, 7-1 W/4-0W vs Canisius, 6-1 W vs Bentley
- Colgate (3-1-0); 3-1 W vs RMU, 4-3 W @ UNO, 4-3L/3-2(ot) W vs Miami
- RPI (1-3-0); 1-0 L/4-1 W vs MinnSt, 4-0 L/2-0 L @ FSU
- Clarkson (2-1-1); 4-4 T @ UAA, 3-1 L vs Alaska, 3-0 W/5-2 W vs SHU
- SLU (0-4-0); 4-2 L/5-1 L vs FSU, 10-3 L @ Mich, 6-5(ot) L @ RIT
That's how I see it at this point. Disagree? Make your own rankings and post them as a comment below…
St. Lawrence in Need of Divine Intervention
The game I saw St. Lawrence play was the epitome of ugly. The Saints were undisciplined, taking penalties for being overaggressive and hot-headed, leaving their goalie to twist in the wind, and producing nothing at all on offense outside flashes from Greg Carey and Kyle Flanagan. Going into the third period against Ferris down 3-1 after a two-goal loss the night before that should have left them hungry to prove something, they basically gave up.
Then, they went to Ann Arbor to face Michigan where all three of their goaltenders got demoralizingly spanked in a lopsided 10-3 final where the Wolverines only had a 34-32 shot advantage. And the kicker was then nearly putting together an ugly but needed victory in the challenging atmosphere of an unfriendly Blue Cross Arena only to allow the tying goal with nine seconds left in regulation and the game winner 14 seconds into overtime.
The word from Canton was the Saints were working on a new offensive system this season, but they might want to remember how to defend their own net first. This looks like a team lost without not only its coach in Joe Marsh, but also his long time right-hand Bob Prier who is the one that stepped in last season when Marsh was unable to be with the team.
With all due respect to Mike Hurlbutt and Greg Carvel, who I am sure are very talented coaches, we are talking about someone who was previously the second assistant along with a complete newcomer being asked to fill in for the longest-tenured head coach in the league. Not easy. At least they now have two weeks off without the stress of learning another unfamiliar opponent to focus on cleaning house.
Clarkson and Quinnipiac Taking the Atlantic Hockey Challenge (Not RPI Though)
Even had I seen them, it would still have been tough to get a great read on the Golden Knights, because both garnering only a point after a trip across the continent and then sweeping a low-level Atlantic Hockey team that drove seven hours to the North Country are both highly predictable results.
I don't like to comment on teams or games I have not seen, which is why I am not one to post my own preseason predictions, but just looking at the box scores from Potsdam this weekend shows the games were very close in shots, Clarkson actually took more penalties that Sacred Heart (although they killed all 14 PPs on the weekend), and the Knights were outshot in the third each night.
By comparison, Quinnipiac welcomed another historically weaker Atlantic Hockey team to the Bank for a pair in Canisius and ceremoniously spanked them by a combined 11-1 score over two games, outshooting the Griffins 81-23 over the weekend set. The game I was at was actually the closer 4-0 score on Sunday afternoon and it was a thoroughly dominating performance in which Bobcat goalie Dan Clarke stopped 14 shots but was never once tested. But for the Jones twins having an off-night in the odd-man rush department, the score could have been closer to Friday's 7-1 margin.
"I was very concerned going into today," QU coach Rand Pecknold said of the early start right after a big win the night before. "We talked about it last night but I was very concerned with what our intensity would be and the guys really impressed me today. They were ready to roll and it was one of the best 60-minute games we've played in a long time."
What is even more impressive is knowing that the Q went into Ohio State the week before and split a pair of one-goal games, the loss seemingly a game stolen by OSU goalie Cal Heeter, with a Buckeye team which then went into Notre Dame and defeated the then-No. 2 ranked Irish in their final game at the Joyce Center.
What concerns me about both Clarkson and Quinnipiac is that although both started with some tough road contests, each is then following that up with six straight games against Atlantic Hockey (each four at home and two away) before heading right into the tough ECAC conference schedule for the three weeks heading into Thanksgiving. Not to take anything away from Atlantic Hockey or suggest no one should play them, but six of your eight non-conference games at the beginning of the season seems well, a little Mickey Mouse.
The Q at least will have played a game with Holy Cross and two at Robert Morris, two of the historically stronger programs that currently make up college hockey's fifth conference. But Clarkson will follow the Sacred Heart series with two games each against American International and Bentley, arguably the three most unsuccessful programs in that conference. Yeah someone has to play them, but no one has to play all three of them in a row.
Casey Jones didn't schedule those games of course so the blame isn't on him, but how are those six games helping the team prepare for the tough league schedule ahead? One has to wonder if scheduling like that is one of the reasons alumni drove George Roll out of town.
Compare those two schedules with that of RPI, who will head into the ECAC slate after games with Minnesota State (2), Ferris State (2), Notre Dame, and Colorado College (2). Say what you want about the Engineers inability to finish so far, but at least they will have played games against the right teams and in the right atmospheres to be prepared for what lies ahead. That's what gives them the edge over Clarkson in my rankings anyway. Yes, the Knights have two wins, but the Engineers would probably have three had they been the ones who just played a pair with Sacred Heart.
Colgate vs Reilly Smith
Colgate will now close out the early non-con schedule against Army in their 2nd annual Cape Cod Classic game in Hyannis followed by a pair with Niagara, but they have already more than proven what they are capable of on the road in Omaha and at home against recent national power Miami, who they outshot 63-37 in another split of one-goal games. It was not goalie Cody Reichard that stole the game from the Raiders that I saw Friday, but one-man RedHawk show Reilly Smith, who scored three goals and assisted on the fourth to pull Miami to an opportunistic comeback victory. Put that sure Hobey Baker finalist on any roster and they'd have a shot against almost anyone, but aside from him being a man among boys, the 'Gate had Miami overmatched.
"I thought we did a lot of really good things tonight," said Colgate coach Don Vaughn. "Probably could have deserved a little bit better, but they're a really good team and when you make a couple mistakes in our own end like we did in the third, they're going to capitalize. Especially when you look up and Reilly Smith has got the puck on his stick, it's just a scary thing to see."
Personally, I didn't even think goalie Eric Mihalik looked all that impressive in that first game, getting routinely beat top shelf on each RedHawk goal, and would somewhat pin that loss on him. "I'm not going to hold any of those against him," Vaughn disagreed, adding he thought Mihalik played great, "but he might like to have some of them back."
The next night must not have been Smith's night as his one goal wasn't enough to prevent the Raiders' OT triumph. Maybe that is the way it will go for Miami this season after the loss of two All-Americans, but it also highlights the difference between their offense and Colgate's, which appeared the epitome of a balanced, hard-nosed lineup that will not rely on any superstars. That included two newcomers who looked very impressive and who Vaughn clearly has a lot of confidence in: defenseman Spiro Goulakos, who he had on the point of the top power play unit, and forward John Lidgett, who provided a spark each time on the ice as the most intense player out there.
New Coach, New Goalie, New Day, Same Old U
That leaves only, and by all accounts unanimous, preseason non-Ivy favorite Union to discuss. While everyone was saying it was hard to judge the Dutchmen's 8-1 defeat of Army, I was quietly laughing. Sure, Army, like some of the other teams I have already discussed, isn't a stellar program. However, with the condition those guys are in, they are about as tough an opening-game opponent as a team can have. And how many goals do you have to score to prove you are still the team from last year? Never mind the fact that exactly ZERO of those eight goals were score by the members of Union's insane top PP unit of Jeremy Welsh, Daniel Carr, Josh Jooris, Kelly Zajac, and Mat Bodie. When Union played Army mid-season last year, guess what the score was? 6-2. Enough said.
That brings us to what has been the marquee matchup of the early non-conference season so far in both the ECAC and the CCHA: Union-Western. I can tell you that the 3-3 tie I saw in the series closer did not disappoint. In fact, it shined brightly as the best game of the five I have seen. And by all accounts, it bore striking similarity to the 2-2 draw the night before. With all due respect to Miami, Western looked like a superior and more complete team. I commented to both Ken Schott of the Schenectady Daily Gazette and Sean Martin of the Albany Times-Union that the Broncos and Dutchmen looked in mid-season form compared to every other team I had seen, including the other visiting opponents from the Midwest. (This was before I saw Quinnipiac the next afternoon, who looked just as good albeit in a game less evenly matched.)
I knew it wasn't only myself that thought as much when Western coach Andy Murray basically sought the press corp's approval of the performance afterward. "Union's got a great team," he said. "They're going to beat a lot of teams this year. I think the fans that were here were very entertained. It was just for this early in the season it was great intensity and just high quality level of hockey. Do you guys agree?"
"We have a lot of respect for Western Michigan," echoed Union junior forward Jeremy Welsh, who netted a hat trick in the tie. "They're kind of on the same progression as we are I think as a program. They're a really hard working team, they got a great coach, they're detailed. I think it was just really good games both nights with two well disciplined teams. It's going to be tight like that. It's somewhat of a positive, you know? We got the lead and kind of let off in the third, but that's something we have to learn as a team, but last year I don't think we learned that 'til late December/January when we started taking over third periods, so it's a learning curve."
Quinnipiac's Top Six Forwards Will Rival Those of Yale and Union
Truly, I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with the new line made up of Scott Zurevinski, Jeremy Langlois, and Matthew Peca. They only connected for one goal in Sunday's game, but it was on a beautifully effortless set-up orchestrated by the freshman Peca and ended with an indefensible back door goal off a no-look feed from Zurevinski. What's more, it was only the second game the line ever played together (Langlois skated on a different line at Ohio State) and they had already been a part of four goals in their opening performance. Last night against Bentley, they notched three more. Langlois has gotten most of the goals so far as he appears the natural finisher, but the passing and skating of the others is what is setting him up to make it look easy.
When you throw in a second line that includes the Jones twins, it is not a stretch to think Quinnipiac can give Yale and Union's top two lines and power play units a run for their money this season.
Goaltending Trends
Clarkson was the only non-Ivy team that came in completely solidified at the goaltender position with Paul Karpowich returning for his senior year after being the clear starter for the last three seasons.
Union and RPI seemingly had Troy Grosenick and Bryce Merriam poised to step in as full-time first-year starters to replace Keith Kinkaid and Allen York, but coaches Rick Bennett and Seth Appert had both hinted that freshmen Colin Stevens and Scott Diebold might get a start last weekend. As it turned out though, both Bennett and Appert decided to start their top guy back to back for the first time to solidify their roll and get them used to that.
The same was true for Colgate and SLU, where there was slightly more question as to who the starters were. In Hamilton, there has been a trend of young guns stepping over veterans at the goaltending position since the graduation of Mark Dekanich in 2008. Senior Alex Evin did it to then-senior Charles Long two years ago only to have Eric Mihalik do the same thing to him at the end of last year as the Raiders struggled to turn their disappointing season around. Evin and Mihalik split the first weekend this season in Omaha, with Evin allowing only one goal in his chance against Robert Morris, but Vaughn ultimately decided to give Mihalik the nod in both games with Miami.
Last season in Canton, Matt Weninger came in hot and looked like he had the job outright at the beginning of his freshman year but he cooled off and ended up in a rotation with now-senior Robby Moss (until the playoffs that is, when he capitalized on a rough start for Moss in game 1 of the conference playoffs and played the next five games.) Weninger and Moss split the opening weekend against Ferris State at home, but Hurlbutt like the other coaches elected to start him against RIT after the debacle against Michgan. Unlike with Mihalik, it didn't work out quite so well though so this could still be an open competition moving forward.
That brings us to the situation in Hamden. Junior Eric Hartzell emerged to grab the job from Dan Clarke a season ago, but with Clarke coming back as a senior, Luke Devoe of the QU blog "From the NIP to the Bank" felt Pecknold would give him every chance to earn the right to play. And, so far, he has. Actually, Pecknold did the opposite of every other non-Ivy coach. He started Hartzell back-to-back in the opening weekend and then after giving Clarke a mid-week contest with Holy Cross, a 21-save 5-3 win that got his feet wet, split the pair against Canisius. Clarke's 13-save shutout, the fifth of his career, on Sunday afternoon was apparently enough to put him back between the pipes yesterday against Bentley, another fine outing.
"It's hard for a goalie when they don't get a lot of work," Pecknold said of the recent games for both his netminders Sunday. "[Clarke] was good tonight and [Eric Hartzell] was good last night. I think we have two kids that have both been number ones at different times in their careers here and we're going to let it play out and eventually if both play great, we'll split 'em and if one guy gets hot, then we'll ride the hot guy."
Random Quotes and Tweets
It has been said that with all the restructuring in college hockey in an effort to win the recruiting wars and make more money, much has been said about how the more power programs from the major conferences will be less likely to schedule non-conference road games against smaller programs like those in the ECAC. Miami, a school that strikes a balance between being a national power and also being a small school that plays in a small building, has always made an effort to schedule games with the ECAC where they reciprocate travel. Here is what head coach Rico Blasi had to say:
"You know, it depends what happens down the road," said Blasi, referencing the undetermined number of games that the NCHC will have in its regular season schedule come 2013. "Hopefully, we can play enough non-conference games where we can go out and play more in the ECAC. Right now, we're limited with how many non-conference games we have. I've always been a big proponent of playing everybody in the East, whether it's Hockey East or ECAC. We've played Clarkson, St. Lawrence, RPI, now Colgate, Vermont back in the day, so I think it's important for college hockey that everybody gets a chance to play in everyone's rink. And I like it. It's a great environment, it's tough to play, and kids grow and mature from situations like this."

Upcoming Weekend
IH's ECAC Games of the Week: Colgate vs. Army, Sat. 7 pm; Waterloo @ Brown, Sun. 2 pm
This weekend I will stay closer to my home on Cape Cod with few if any big games to speak of around the league. Very close in fact as Colgate and Army faceoff for the second year in a row in the Cape Cod Classic in Hyannis on Saturday. I will then get a look at Brown Sunday afternoon as they host Waterloo in exhibition action.
I will also make a sojourn into Hockey East country Friday to see former Union head coach Nate Leaman both continue his strong start at Providence and avenge his former Dutchmen charges when the Friars welcome defending national champion Minnesota-Duluth, which ended Union's season, and also Leaman's tenure there, in the national tournament. You can see my one-on-one interview earlier this week with Coach Leaman by clicking here.

- Hidden GemveroYmiguelitoVIPDined on 9/12/2014We chose this restaurant based on its great reviews. Were not disappointed. I'm like, "Great reviews, Sri Lankan food? Why not?" Indeed, why not. The food is pretty unique... sort of an East meets West thing working, but not in an Asian sense. The Duck is amazing, as are pretty much every dish. The staff cares. Definitely. And it shows. This is our first restaurant that I've written about on OpenTable.Special Features:
- VibrantFlavorsDined on 9/6/2014The menu is intriguing, like looking for treasure. The layered and subtle flavors are vibrant and fresh. Altogether, a rich and delightful experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- feedmysoulVIPDined on 8/30/2014A great find! One of the best meals I've had in a while.Special Features:
- ExcellantrobjpVIPDined on 8/30/2014One of the best meals we've had in a while. Did the tasting menu, which consisted of eight courses and everyone was great. My wife did a wine pairing, which she enjoyed. Great service as well.Special Features:
- Good food.Goodfood15Dined on 8/26/2014Amazing yummy food. Very creative fusion food. Loved the small bites. Would like to see more choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodVinoVeritasVIPDined on 8/16/2014The food is wonderful, and in terms of taste, creativity and presentation deserving of five stars. However, we did the tasting menu and it was a bit of a let down. There was nothing special whatsoever, not even an amuse-bouche. Our group of four could have ordered the entire menu to share, tried every dish and spent less. The wine list is very good. However, somewhat like tasting menu, the "wine" pairings were also a bit of a let down. Two of the "wines" were beer and sherry. The actual wines in the wine pairing were almost all on the sweet side (a Malbec was the lone exception). On a busy Saturday night, the service was just good and the noise level a bit loud.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unique flavourscanuckDined on 8/15/20141601 has a wide variety of small plates with very unique flavours. Service is fabulous and it is never too busy.Special Features:
- tasty surprisescitizengateVIPDined on 8/14/20141601 Bar & Kitchen cares deeply about food and service. It worked for our table.Special Features:
- Sri Lankan experiencepingVIPDined on 8/5/2014Dinner was possibly the best meal I'll have in 2014. The ingredients were fresh and prepared with care in unusual preparations with spectacular but modestly stated presentations. The cube of salmon that seemed barely poached was presented with a smear of burnt onion creme fraiche and tamarind (?) drops. The crispy okra with curried cashews was my best so far for okra. The duck lamprais and Jidori egg hopper were my Sri Lankan firsts. The women servers were the most knowledgeable about the food I've met in San Francisco. There were few patrons and therefore little noise, and no doubt, was a factor in the overall experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UNIQUE! SOMA SAYS IT ALLhungrychickVIPDined on 8/2/2014Ignore the grunge neighborhood on Howard St. Focus on the food, which is imaginative and meant to be shared...expect the unexpected with amazing flavors. From Portuguese octopus to goat stew, dining is an adventure.
- Great Place and FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 7/24/2014Food was excellent and beautifully prepared, service was terrific, and it was a great space. The staff was welcoming and offered us complimentary moscato at the end of dinner. I highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1601 never disappointsOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/12/2014I had dinner at 1601 saturday night. What to say? This was not my first time and I chose it specifically as I wanted to be able to talk with my friend. We were in the back room and it was very quiet. We both liked the food and wine very much. Good. Different. Perfectly cooked. Nothing pretentious about it. Flavors abound. / The service is more than 5 stars. Any other place pales to insignificant compared to 1601. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I like the fact people aren't coming by every 10 minutes asking if everything is alright. Thereby interrupting your conversation to take care of them. This is so common everywhere else. These people at 1601 have class to the nth degree. They are warm and know how to serve.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!MikeCSFDined on 6/28/2014Went on a first date here and I couldn't have found a better spot. They gave us a secluded table, the service and food were outstanding and the menu is reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- jiehDined on 6/17/2014All dishes were subtly seasoned, making this a great dining experience.Highly recommendedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Promise kept - excellence all roundDannyMVIPDined on 6/14/2014This very interesting, very solid Sri Lankan-cuisine restaurant has been a real find for me, and most recently, for my wife and me to celebrate her birthday. The food is unusual for us in the States – it's fair to say that some southern Indian cuisine can prepare you for a bit of it, but it stands on its own. The house does have specialties from Sri Lanka alone. The service is expert and professional, from the greeting, to the seating, serving (including wine advice and service), and busing – correct, attentive, and thoughtful. Attention from the management is frequent and always welcome. All in all (after three visits), I'm very much looking forward to visits four and five...Special Features:
- The following 28 reviews are from the 1601 Bar & Kitchen reviews archive.
- excellent, though expensiveDoctorKDined on 5/24/2014Small plate restaurant. The price is not exorbitant, however it is certainly pricey. Because of the small plates, it may be viewed as not a good value, however the food is tasty, well prepared, unusual (Sri Lankan influence) and the presentation on the plates is artistic and done with care. I would certainly go back and am interested in tasting many other items on the menu. The mulligatawny soup was fantastic. The egg crepe dish (I forget the name) was out of this world. Nothing we had was below par.Special Features:
- Great service, food just okMissMollyDined on 5/23/2014I get that this is tapas, but the portion is oh so tiny for the price. I think tapas size should be charged accordingly. For example, sea bass at $23 and steak at $23 is just slightly less than the standard entrée prices, but the portion is 1/3 of the entry sizes. I think it should be slightly less. Fish and meatball were a bit dry. Service is lovely and the staff is wonderful, but the food is just ok.
- Deliciously DifferentAnacanaDined on 5/22/2014Expand your repertoire of dining experiences. Sri Lankan food is wonderful and 1601 Bar & Kitchen certainly does it justice. We enjoyed a delightfully tasty meal, artfully presented, and with excellent service. I'll be going back for sure. Make this your next gastronomic discovery. This restaurant deserves SF prominence. To make things even better, there was ample parking nearby.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful experienceMaamsayVIPDined on 5/2/2014Wonderful team that delivers a well orchestrated dinner service. Clean and elegant contemporary design. Menu is good all around - recommend 2-3 plates per person. The egg dish is a staple of the menu and the mulligatawny soup is rich and flavorful. Definitely will be back againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always excellentAcahtiVIPDined on 4/25/2014Have eater at 1601 numerous times and always enjoy the food, the service, and the environment.Special Features:
- from the streetflavorfiendDined on 4/25/2014It looked a little shabby in the neighborhood. But we found parking right near the door. The food was a great surprise. Flavors were really complex while seemingly simple uncontrived but pretty presentations. We shared dishes halibut sashimi was my favorite Nexttime I would definitely have the tasing menu with wine pairings. A must try Find.Special Features:
- Better than expectedhanayaVIPDined on 4/22/2014The food was amazing and the service was great. They have an amazing list of wines and the food menu is very unique. We sat in the higher tables, but the chairs weren't too uncomfortable. My friends and I ate to our stomach's fill and the food was delicious! That night, a certain percentage went towards the SF Aids foundation. It made me like the restaurant even more for them suporting organizations like that!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will return!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/22/2014Great food. Highly recommend the octopus! The plates are small though, so order more if you're hungry.Special Features:
- exquisite!smk2011VIPDined on 4/18/2014The chef has skillfully applied haute cuisine techniques to the South Asian flavorful ingredients into delectable delights!Special Features:
- Outstanding FindMMcIVIPDined on 4/12/2014The food was excellent, both the tastes and the presentations . We shared many of the small plate items and loved them all. Loved th scallops, the rabbit, and the kale salad. We also shared the desserts, one of each. All were very good. We had an Argentine Malbec which complemented our varied dishes. Will definitely be back to try the tasting menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sri Lankan Inspired GemJenSFVIPDined on 4/9/2014Had dinner with a friend on a Wednesday night. We were one of only two tables who were dining. Thus, the service was great and the noise level was virtually non-existent. I would like to return on a Friday or Saturday night to see how different the experience is when the restaurant is full. We had a few small plates to share - namely the the halibut ceviche, Norwegian cod, and okra dishes are not to be missed. Great texture, flavors, and presentation. Look forward to returning for another visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Super Size, it's TapasShaftVIPDined on 3/26/2014Bottom Line: We will go again, and we will take friends The food was fresh, tasty and healthy. The raw Kale salad was so good that we ordered a second when the meat dishes arrived The service was excellent. Not just, "Is everything OK?" It was, "How do you like that beer?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SF GemMiniGreenDined on 3/20/2014We enjoyed dinner at 1601 Bar & Kitchen on Thursday evening. Oh my. We chose three plates each and left comfortably fed. Chef Brian's creations were at once beautiful, incredibly flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Knowing scallops are often served rare, I asked for "medium-rare" and they were exactly that, with a yummy sear. Their house-smoked salmon is amazing. Tasting vegetables prepared with the respect they deserve is always a treat, and Brian's Mixed Brassicas, and his soon-to-be-famous Kale Salad were two of the most delicious dishes I've ever eaten. Service, led by the lovely Yuliya, was friendly, informative, and courteous. She and Brian absolutely deserve the great reviews they've been getting. Street parking is easy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sri Lankan is so tastyKenKVIPDined on 3/18/2014Trying a new cuisine is what first drew me to 1601 Kitchen and after half a dozen visits, I am still intrigued and delighted by the flavors, smells and textures when I go in. The chef (who is almost always there himself) has designed a small plates menu with great local ingredients. This time, the hopper (Sri Lankan crepe with a summy side egg and spicy sambol) was so good, we each had to get our own. Also love the ceviche wtih compressed cucumber and the lamb and pork meatballs. It was very quiet (earlyish on a Tuesday night), but the place is usually full. Full or not, the service is terrifically welcoming, attentive and competent. They make you feel like it is their secret gem that they proudly share with you.Special Features:
- The food was high qualityOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 3/15/2014The food was high quality and excellent and delicious, and presented quite artistically. But the tiny size of the servings, served on a giant plate with giant prices makes it a fad place that's fun to check out once, but you won't be going back again and again.Special Features:
- Not totally awful but not goodDoraVIPDined on 3/8/2014The food was tasty but super small plates. Practically none existent food. Super expensive for what you get. I don't mind paying a lot for good food when it's worth it and this was not worth it. Super friendly staff though.
- The food was excellent; althoughArleneVIPDined on 2/21/2014The food was excellent; although the plates were small they were tasty. the prices were a bit high.Special Features:
- very nicely donemetooVIPDined on 2/15/2014They have a really good chef here. He really can integrate textures and tastes to make some wonderful food.
- Pretty good experiencejAmjAmDined on 2/15/2014I took my girlfriend here on a pre-symphony date. The food was good (not out-of-the-world fantastic, but good enough for a romantic date), the ambiance was good, and the place was quite enough for good conversation. The egg hopper was especially delicious. I recommend this spot for a private meal between 2 to 4 people. Not sure if it's fit for large groups.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentines DayOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/14/2014Came for Valentines Day dinner. Service was excellent, as was the ambience. Food was very good, and a few pieces were incredible, but the main course (a fish of some variety, can't recall what) was rather flavorless in comparison to the excellent hokkaido scallops and smoked salmon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Run don't walkAcahtiVIPDined on 2/7/2014What a marvelous find. I was just looking for some place new for a Friday night dinner. Knowing nothing of Sri Lankan food, I thought, "Why not?". From the moment we walked through the door, the experience was superior. Remarkably friendly and attentive hostess and wait staff; exquisitely prepared food [we did all small plates]; very good wine and cocktail list; enticing interior design. I can imagine going here weekly and will be recommending it to everyone I've ever met in my life!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1601 in SOMAKimberlyMHMDined on 1/29/2014This is a nice change from the ordinary... The food is just delicious, artfully presented, inspired by the flavors of Sri Lanka. The wait staff is kind and very accommodating... The atmosphere is fresh SOMA. A great combination for dinner. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impressive!foodnwineDined on 1/28/2014Being married to a sommelier means we often try the chef's pairing menu and that's what we had at 1601 Bar & Kitchen. The six courses were all terrific. I'm not a fan of brussel sprouts or cauliflower but I would order the pickled preparation in the second course with a beer pairing on my next visit too. Our favorites were the smoked salmon, the scallops and Mulligatawny soup, The salmon may be the best smoked salmon I have tried. A thick filet cut of salmon lightly smoked with burnt onion cream fraiche with Chateau L'Afrique Cotes de Provence Rose. The "Sri Lanken" influence was found in both the mulligatawny soup and a crispy curry okra with coconut and cashews. We will become regulars after thoroughly enjoying ourselves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WOWcritDined on 1/22/2014We have had Brian Fernando's cooking before, but only in a French setting. The addition of Sri Lankan influence has created an absolutely stunning menu. Location of the restaurant is a bit out of the way, but well worth the short trek! We hope they become wildly popular, it will be well deserved!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- French inspired Sri Lankan foodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 1/18/2014We just got back from a trip to Sri Lanka and the food was more French inspired than Sri Lankan but the food was excellent. Their signature dish, the egg hopper was great as was the seafood. It was served tapas style and the wait between courses seemed long. Otherwise, the service was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Wowak, who has spent 32 years in law enforcement — 12 years with the Capitola Police Department, and nearly 20 with the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office — said that he will retire at the end of 2014.
He said that he felt that the timing was right to retire, as he is in good health, he's at the end of his 4-year term, and his protege Chief Deputy Jim Hart is up for election to replace him.
"One of the driving forces in making this decision was that I had a willing and highly capable successor in Jim Hart," Wowak said. "I know that (Hart) will continue to bring the department forward."
Wowak is probably best known in the San Lorenzo Valley for his role as the lead investigator into the 2006 murder of Joanna "Asha" Veil and her unborn child, and the subsequent arrest and conviction of her killer, Michael McClish.
He said that he is "most proud of the advancements we've made as an organization" during his tenure as Sheriff, including the department's new headquarters in Live Oak, the rapid adaptation to the state-mandated prison realignment, and the $25 million grant secured to revamp the closed jail facility in Watsonville into a treatment and education facility.
"I think the crown jewel (of his tenure) is to bring a new, modern Sheriff's Office headquarters to the Live Oak community, which benefits the whole county," Wowak said. "My goal is to be finished with that project before I leave office."
He said that he would focus on continuing to do his job as Sheriff right up to his retirement.
"Right now my job is to finish my term and I would like to assist my successor get elected," Wowak said. "Between then and now, I have plenty of work to do."

Candy Crush's whistling theme music and colorful raspberries seem innocent enough, but some are calling it candy crack.
Experts say more women are playing Candy Crush Saga, a game for your smart phone where the object is to match pieces of candy and then crush them.
Sherri Smith from Laptop magazine says it's the pretty colors that keep women tapping away.
"You're smashing candy, it's colorful, there's this approving voice when you beat a level," Smith said. "There's this rush and all of a sudden time has gone by and you're 20 levels in or 50 levels in."
Smith said you can beat all 400 levels for free, but most likely you'll have to pay for more lives -- which may be the true test of whether or not someone is an addict. She said that King, the makers of Candy Crush, rake in more than $600,000 a day.

10 Video Games Fun For Couples to Play Together
The stereotype of the lonely gamer is so 2000. We know quite a few couples who not only enjoy playing video games, but also enjoy playing them together. For those who game regularly together and also for couples just getting their feet wet playing co-op/versus, we've compiled a list of 10 titles we believe are particularly couples-friendly (or with a group). Did we leave out the game you love to play with your other half? Let us know in the comments!
- Mario Kart Wii There is a reason why this game is a classic party game... it's really fun to play together! With easy to use controls and a game mechanism that keeps any player from getting too far ahead it's a fun game for novice gamers to play with avid gamers and not feel out of their depth. $50
- Dance Central 2 We are not sure which we love more, playing this Kinect game or watching others play it. We've been playing Dance Central for as long as we have had a Kinect and we eagerly await version 2 which will allow for two players to dance at the same time. Price TBA
- Left 4 Dead 2 Nothing says romance like running from a zombie hoard together. Because this Xbox 360 game is a first person shooter it might not be the easiest for the lay gamer to pick up (I am rubbish at FPS and I invariably spend most of my time walking into walls) but killing zombies is generally always a good time had by all. $30
- Boom Blox & Boom Blox Bash Party Although this game is developed with Steven Spielburg, there is not much storytelling going on. This Wii game is a collection of puzzles with several different modes (think some combination of Jenga and Angry Birds) that are quite fun to solve together. $30
- Little Big Planet 2 If you are not yet familiar with the adorableness that is Little Big Planet you are in for a treat! This fun PS 3 title allows you to build your own worlds and play them together. Did we mention it is quite adorable? Check out the trailer for Little Big Planet 2 below to see what we mean. $60
- Super Mario Bros Wii With this new version you can decide whether you two will play cooperatively or competitively. Rather push your darling significant other's Mario off of a cliff than lend her some help? Yes, you can do that. $50
- Scott Pilgrim vs The World A perfect game for the vintage gaming couple with a sense of humor, this PSN download title is filled with funny and unexpected game elements. $10
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Not getting enough superheros during your movie dates? Become your favorite Marvel superheros in this game which like most button mashers you can play either with skill or with, well, button mashing. $30
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 In this game, one player becomes Mario and the other is the "helper." The "helper" can do things like help Mario jump higher or shoot stars and is a nice no pressure way to play alongside a more game savvy partner. $50
- Kinect Sports We love the variety of games in Kinect Sports that make it easy to find just the right one for our moods when we play together. Feeling low key? Make it a bowling night. Lots of energy? Work it out in boxing. $50
Thanks Dan and Adrienne for your suggestions!
What's a great game that you love to play with your significant other?

If you're playing mario brothers wii, learn the 'bubble' technique and use it readily. It goes a long way to making it enjoyable instead of "divorce mode."
You guys are missing out on the best couples game ever, Let's Go Jungle. It's an arcade rail shooter where you and another person shoot at bugs and other creatures on an island. At the end of each level you get a score of how compatible you are as a couple. It also happens to be really fun.
any of the lego games. Currently playing indiana jones with my wife. she started star wars on her own and i help when it is needed. When indy is done, star wars clone wars is up next.
I think mario wii would just create problems. I know the bubble save can be nice but for me that was more of a one player game. Played with my brother in law and we were constantly fighting (he was a constant bubbler), if it was my wife we would have had to sleep in separate places.
Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii is awesome to play together. Super fun.
My partner and I love our Wii it has stopped alot arguments. We start playing something and i kick his but every time...
My boyfriend actually started playing World of Warcraft because I play. Now we play together all the time! It's great!
Any Mario games are a bad idea. Believe me, I would know
Portal 2's co-op mode is wonderful, hilarious, and adorable...not to mention challenging and engaging. As a plus, you can play with your SO online if you're not in the same place.
My boyfriend and I play WWE Allstars on the xBox 360 all the time. It's amazing!
@Lalaluluj Agreed! Such. Angry. FEELINGGGGS!
Nice article Joelle! Glad I could help. Also, jmorey is totally right on about the lego games. I can't believe I forgot to mention them. I play them with my Adrie all the time!
Here's a third for the Lego games. It's one of the only games my wife has every played to completion with me.
We also played Alien Hominid on Gamecube together all the way from beginning to end. That was a ton of fun.
Anyone for Rockband? Surprised it didn't make the list.
My hubby's in the game industry and Portal games are by far the most popular with the other game company couples. I really need to give in and try it. Boom blocks and dance central are still tops for me.
With the exception of a few titles, my husband and I almost exclusively go to MMOs for our coop play sessions. Anything competitive doesn't work for us at all and I'm terrible at FPS style games, which removes a lot of the console options (not to mention that with the exception of party style games, game devs seem to be committed to the idea of 1 person, 1 console, 1 house when thinking of co-op play). We work at a MMO company now and are surrounded by a lot of gaming couples and I can also confirm that Portal 2 is pretty much the gold standard against which everything else falls a little flat, but there are a lot of other gems out there. The other thing to consider are ones that are single player based, but friendly for collaboration. LA Noir has been great fun for us to play 'together' with one of us running the controller and the other helping and watching. Beyond Good and Evil was another title that stands out in my memory as being really good for collaborative play even though it was a single player game. Last this site http://www.co-optimus.com/ is a fantastic resource for games with co-op content, although it takes some filtering to find games, at least for us, that meet our requirements for playing together.
Mario Kart is a definite favorite for us! Boom Blox is one of our favorite party games, we play it a lot when we have friends over.
Oh, and Guitar Hero is always a favorite too!
It's Ryan!
I can't play video games but I enjoy watching my husband play and then tell him what to do.
Hi Joelle,
Great selection of games!
We've actually also put together a list of computer games that would be fun for couples, so if you're interested, do come have a look for ideas! We're quite new too, so maybe we can exchange ideas? You can find us at www.gocouple.net - some couples games that you don't cover that we're planning to review are Lego Star Wars, Animal Crossing, etc...
We also cover general indoor / outdoor activities so do come visit :-) I might post a recommendation and link to this page too, as you cover some games that we don't! Would you mind?

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Madison Police have been looking for the driver of a stolen car that was being chased by an officer when it hit a road construction worker.
Officials said the car was going 18 miles an hour over the speed limit on a west side Madison street. It turned onto two other streets, hit a worker on a paving crew, and then crashed at an intersection.
From there, police said the driver ran off.
Police spokesman Joel DeSpain said the worker had burns and other significant injuries, none of which were life-threatening.
Three K-9 units helped police search for the driver Tuesday.

Attorney General Kane: Voter ID ruling appeal rests solely with Gov., Secretary of Commonwealth
To avoid further public confusion, Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane clarifies that decision to appeal voter ID court ruling rests solely with Governor and Secretary of the Commonwealth
HARRISBURG - The Office of Attorney General (OAG) has served as co-counsel to the Governor and Secretary of the Commonwealth since litigation over the voter ID law commenced in 2012. The Governor and Secretary of the Commonwealth are also represented by an outside law firm retained by the Governor's Office of General Counsel (OGC).
Upon assuming office in January 2013, Attorney General Kane carefully reviewed the status of all pending matters, including the voter ID case. While Attorney General Kane expressed concern that it might not be possible to implement the voter ID law in a manner sufficient to ensure free and fair elections, given: (i) then existing judicial precedent, (ii) the OAG's pre-existing involvement in the matter and (iii) the Rules of Professional Conduct, she determined that the OAG's role as counsel in the case should continue.
Judge McGinley has now ruled, not only making findings regarding implementation efforts insufficient to ensure free and fair elections, but also declaring the voter ID law to be unconstitutional.
The decision to appeal Judge McGinley's decision rests solely with the Governor and Secretary of the Commonwealth. A decision to appeal must be made on or before Monday, Jan. 27, 2014.

Tips to Be a Better Dad
Day 1
Go Rock Climbing
Sometimes the simplest idea is the best one, and an undemanding day climb remains one of the easiest and most convenient ways to spend an afternoon with your kids. For very young children -- or until the weather improves -- consider starting out on a climbing wall at a local gym or outdoor retailer. Most offer introductory lessons, along with harness and climbing shoe rentals.
Online retailers like Three Ball Climbing (threeballclimbing.com) and TO THE TOP (tothetopwalls.com) offer smaller, less-intimidating walls that you can install at home to practice and help build confidence.
"Kids are natural climbers," says Margaret Wheeler, President of the American Mountain Guides Association. "That's what they do before you ever tie them into a rope. Kids get scared going up high, though, so keep it fun and lighthearted and they'll usually ask to go up again."
On the first attempt, let your kid climb just above the ground, then ask them to lean back and test the rope. "That way," Wheeler says, "they'll know the rope can hold them if they lose their grip." You can also start on smaller cliffs -- they'll have an easier time reaching the top, and will be more inclined to graduate to a bigger challenge.
When buying gear, look for a top-quality brand like Camp (camp-usa.com) or Petzl (petzl.com). Both sell kids' climbing helmets, rock shoes, and children's harnesses. Look for well-trained mentors. "A single-pitch instructor is the one that's nationally recognized," Wheeler says. "People who've gone through that will know exactly how to help out a kid who's stuck or scared."

Day 2
Go Instrument Shopping
Schools with a strong musical program may give students an academic edge, Long Island University researchers say. They found that second-graders taking twice-weekly piano lessons at school performed significantly better on vocabulary tasks than those who didn't play a note. "The piano students improved their listening skills with music, and that may have helped them hear and store vocabulary words more efficiently for future use," says study author Joseph Piro, Ph.D. While private lessons should do the trick, Piro believes that children may be more eager to learn an instrument if the instruction occurs in a group setting, such as in a class or at school.

Day 3
Make a Healthy Grilled Cheese
"All children love grilled cheese sandwiches, and my kids especially love this version," says Wolfgang Puck, owner of more than 100 restaurants worldwide. "And so do I."
This recipe's a favorite with all four of Puck's sons, who range in age from 2 to 19.
What you'll need:
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 slices sourdough or whole-wheat bread, cut 1/3-inch thick
- 6 thin slices Fontina cheese (or Swiss or mozzarella)
- 4 fresh basil leaves
- 2 slices prosciutto
- 1 large organic Roma tomato, cut into 8 slices
How to make it:
- Preheat panini maker, double-sided indoor grill, or cast-iron skillet set to medium heat.
- Mix together mustard and mayonnaise. Brush one side of each slice of bread with mixture. On plain side, stack 2 slices cheese, 2 basil leaves, 1 slice prosciutto, and tomato slices. Sprinkle tomato with freshly ground black pepper. Layer on remaining cheese and top with remaining bread slice, mayo side facing outward.
- Cook sandwiches side by side in panini maker or indoor grill, about 3 to 4 minutes, or until cheese has melted and bread is brown and crispy. If you're using a skillet, place a heavy pan on top of sandwich to weigh it down. Cut sandwiches diagonally. Serves 2.

Day 4
Go Snowboarding
By now your average teen is probably more interested mimicking the aerial theatrics of Sean White than actually mastering the basics. Help them play catchup by enrolling in a beginners' snowboarding class. Many ski lodges (such as those owned by Vail Resorts) now offer them. While you can rent the snowboards and pads, you'll also want to pack a thick pair of thermal underwear, a heavy fleece and jacket, and multiple pairs of socks. Look for brands like Burton , Under Armour , and DC . Shops like dogfunk and The House sell everything you need. Don't neglect goggles, either -- few things will halt your progress faster than a face full of powder. A good pair of Oakleys will run you about $90.
When you're ready to get onboard, check ahead to get a read on the recent snowfall. Most snowboarders consider powder -- a light, untouched layer of freshly fallen snow -- to be the ultimate surface, but crud (when the powder gets packed) and crust (when the top layer hardens) are acceptable, and sometimes even preferred, when starting out. First-timers should stick with slopes marked by green circles (elementary) and blue squares (intermediate). Those black diamonds may look enticing, but keep away until you've at least comfortably navigated an intermediate challenge.

Day 5
Start Reading Food Labels -- With Your Kids
"Contrary to popular belief, kids can learn to make wise food choices," says David Katz, M.D., M.P.H., an associate professor of public health at Yale University and a father of five. "Make it easier by having a wide variety of foods available, but only the healthiest options in each category."
Example: They can pick whatever drink they want, as long as it doesn't contain high-fructose corn syrup or exceed 100 calories per serving. Another trick: Steal a page from Eat This, Not That! For Kids and use visual comparisons to demonstrate how much sugar or salt is in their favorite foods. If you show them the three teaspoons of sugar in each bowl of Froot Loops, they'll think twice.

Day 6
Fight Cynicism
As kids struggle to form identities in our sometimes violent, often materialistic, always tech-obsessed world, they can become more self-centered and less sympathetic. "You'll never turn your son or daughter back into the wide-eyed child they were just a few years ago," says C. Andrew Ramsey, M. D., an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University. "But you can chip away at their cynicism by calling them to action." Hal Edward Runkel, family therapist and author of ScreamFree Parenting, brought his young son to traffic court with him so the boy could see accountability in action. Likewise, Ramsey says, the simple act of volunteering for a day can pay dividends. Kids will see they can make a difference, and they'll be inspired by other people out there doing it every day.

Day 7
Focus Your Kid's Energy
Maybe you don't want a hat-trick-scoring, scholarship-winning, oboe-playing phenom of a child, but our competitive society makes them think otherwise. This explains why so many kids have trouble focusing, says Ramsey. Make sure your kids understand your expectations. Explain that developing skills is about mastery. "Whether your child's role model is Tom Brady or Beyoncé, let them know they ascended to lofty heights because they mastered one skill," Ramsey says. "Learn to go through one door and many others will open for you; try to go through five doors at once and you'll go nowhere."
More from Men's Health: How to Teach Your Kid Anything
Day 8
Keep Them in the Game
If you want your kids to stick with things, let them quit, Runkel says. "Just make sure they taste the full pain of quitting." When Runkel's son was 8, he wanted to quit baseball. Runkel told him, "Sure, but you have to tell your teammates and coach." The boy couldn't do it. He's played seven seasons now. This works with schoolwork, too: "If your kid wants to give up because a project is too hard, say, 'OK. Tell your teacher you quit and you'll take whatever grade is appropriate.' Trust me, they'll stick it out."
More from Men's Health: The 25 Most Influential People in Our Children's Lives
Day 9
Stay Out of It
Unless one of your kids is dangling the other out the window, don't say a word. You're not listening to only one side, and you're not acting as moderator. "As soon as you become involved, they're no longer interested in finding a solution; they're interested in getting you on their side," says Anthony Wolf, a child psychologist and author of Mom, Jason's Breathing on Me! The Solution to Sibling Bickering. If they keep pestering you, tell them that if you step in it'll be a problem for both of them. Stick with your rigid neutrality, and they'll learn that pleading their case is fruitless. More important, they'll learn to compromise quickly.
More from Men's Health: 19 Stress Management Tips
Day 10
Prepare For Emergencies
You've already taught them what 911 is, where the fire extinguishers are, and the fire escape plan, right? That's the easy stuff. The tricky part is teaching them calm, Runkel says. "In a crowd, tell them to look for people they can trust -- the calm and present authority figures. Follow their commands. Avoid panic and people who are panicking." The best time to talk about emergencies, Runkel says, is during dinner. "Asking kids around the dinner table in a mature tone makes them feel more grown-up. And you want a grown-up level of responsiveness from them during an emergency."

Q&A: How to stop toddler from screaming to get his way?
I have a very busy 13-month-old son who often screams to get his way. These screams are loud and at such a high pitch that it is painful to the ear. Any suggestions?
First, let me assure you that you are not the first parent to experience this admittedly disturbing behavior, and I feel for you (and your eardrums). That said, it's best to handle any less-than-desirable behaviors from a toddler who is clearly testing out his newfound independence—including one who screams bloody murder—by first taking a step back and reminding yourself that a) it is a child's job to test his parents' limits in order to figure out how the world works, and b) it is a parent's job to set some limits.
In figuring out how best to deal with your son's screams, first recognize that it only makes sense for him to try out ways to attract attention and get what he wants. By acknowledging that his behavior, however disturbing it may be, is in fact normal, you will hopefully find it easier to resist the natural tendency towards anger, frustration, and/or embarrassment. That said, make sure your response(s) to your son's screams don't send him the message that he who screams loudest gets what he wants. Simply respond to your toddler's undesirable behaviors (which may show up in the form of biting, hitting, screeching, or screaming) by either not responding, setting him down, calmly but firmly showing your disapproval, and/or turning your back. I find that this sort of parental disapproval goes a much longer way towards getting important messages across than yelling or anger. After all, in a child's view of the world, negative attention is better than no attention, while parental approval is very important. So stay as calm as you can—and remind yourself that when handled correctly, this type of behavior is fortunately short-lived.

The patient, dying of metastatic cancer, had arrived at the hospital several weeks earlier in agony. But doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital fashioned a medication regimen that at last eased her suffering, and on the day she was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital, they recalled seeing her smile.
Hours later, the patient was back in the Brigham emergency department, and once again in excruciating pain. Delays in transferring her, a language barrier, and a communications breakdown between doctors meant she did not get her medications on time.

What about Kate and Lance's Kids?
Guest blogger Single Mom Seeking weighs in on how Kate Hudson's and Lance Armstrong's high-profile breakup affects their children.
When I first heard that Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong had split, I threw my hands into the air. There they go again: parading each other's kids through their lives, and leaving someone else to clean up the streamers. Did they even try to have a relationship? Or, was it just about the weekend sex in hotels across the country?
But then I realized how judgmental that sounded. No one really knows what happened behind the scenes.
Within minutes after Kate and Lance publicly announced their split, the name-calling began (Google Kate Hudson today and you'll see Kate referred as a harlot, a slut, you name it).
And Lance? There were a few harsh insults thrown out, but compared to Kate, hardly an eyelash was batted. There goes that double standard again -- but never mind.
The truth is, no one really knows exactly how much their kids were involved. Yes, Kate's 4-year-old son, Ryder, was at a Father's Day brunch with Lance -- and his own dad. Yes, Kate entertained son Ryder and Lance's three kids -- 8-year-old Luke, and 6-year-old twin girls Grace and Isabelle -- while Lance prepped for a recent race event.
Yes, Kate and Lance were clearly doing their share of PDA.
But were they ever smooching in front of the kids? They were dating long-distance. Most likely, they were having weekend-hot-and-heavy-hotel rendezvous, without the kids.
So, what gives? Single parents deserve the chance to love again, too, don't they?
Moreover, children of single parents need to grow up with a healthy attitude about adults, dating, and having friends of both sexes. Being secretive and sneaking is what can be really damaging.
This isn't about planning sleepovers when your kids are there. It's about communicating openly and honestly with your children. It's about being willing to answer their questions. Look at the new TLC show Must Love Kids. This first-ever reality dating TV show for single parents is a genuine look at what it means to move on.
Don't get me wrong. I think the fact that the kids on this show meet Mommy's "special friend" on her third date is too fast. But is it wrong? Not necessarily.
Single parents are grown-ups. They can set ground rules -- no PDA, but they can bring their kids to a family gathering, for example.
If you're real, respectful, and honest with your kids, it's not going to ruin them.
For more from Single Mom Seeking, click here.
Do you think single moms should introduce their dates to their children?
He makes me sick!
I love it how everyone judges without knowing the facts. Why don't people take that type of judgment and turn it on themselves?
I bet they wouldn't get out of bed.

MERRILL, WI (WSAU) - A Milwaukee area teen incarcerated at Lincoln Hills Schools has been moved to the Lincoln County jail after an incident at the facility. 19-year-old Kevin Johnson now faces felony battery by a prisoner charges after battering a staff member of the school.
Johnson remains at the jail instead of the Lincoln Hills facility on a $2,500 cash bond awaiting his next court appearance.
