Lily's Bistro

DAYTON — I suspect I was not alone in greeting the announcement that Café Boulevard would morph into Boulevard Haus, a German restaurant, with considerable skepticism. German food? Really?
I am skeptical no more.
Please note that Lily's Bistro just opened in May 2013. All of the reviews before this one are for the restaurant that used to be at this address and which closed a while back.
I haven't eaten at Lily's Bistro yet, so don't have an opinion, but I didn't want visitors to be misled.
Here's the real "Critic's Review"
By Amelia Robinson
Staff Writer
Emily Mendenhall and her staff at Lily's Bistro spent the past few days serving family members and friends a limited selections from its food and drink menu.
Tonight will be showtime for the Historic Oregon District establishment featuring seasonal fare.
The restaurant at 329 E. Fifth St. — the former site of Boulevard Haus/Cafe Boulevard — will celebrate its official grand opening 5 to 10 p.m. today, May 9, Mendenhall said.
She wanted Lily's to open in time for Urban Night, a 'street party' in and near downtown Friday.
Executive Chef Mariah Gahagan is prepared to serve "fresh, fun seasonal food," she said.
"I think of it as new American food," said Mendenhall, who will manage the restaurant owned by her parents,
Lisa and Robert Mendenhall. "We will change the menu four times a year."
The Mendenhalls also own Blind Bob's, a nearby restaurant and music venue.
Emily Mendenhall said the restaurant is inspired by two others she worked at — Cochon in News Orleans and Jane's in Chicago. Mendenhall said there will be a high level of service.
"We will make serious food without being too serious," she said.
The space has been transformed.
Boulevard Haus' German-theme has been replaced with a light, airy feel. The walls in the 42 seat main dining room are now light green and decorated with framed prints.
The bar area is now blue.
The back patio, one of Dayton's most attractive, can seat as many as 50 and a semi-private dining area features a long wooden table.
The front patio will be dog-friendly, Mendenhall pointed out.
She said highlights of the menu include the gourmet deviled eggs ,$7; Ohio nachos (house made potato chips topped with Gouda Alfredo, melted blue cheese and scallions), $7; a charcuterie plate, $12; surf 'n turf (soy glazed Berkshire pork belly and seared scallops with wilted spinach, pickled cauliflower and miso mousseline sauce), $24 and a sorted fresh salad, $6 to $10.
One of Mendenhall's favorites is a mix of chopped orange segments, sugar snap peas, fennel, mushrooms and asparagus tossed in ginger-miso vinaigrette.
The most expensive dish is the $25 grilled lamb chops served with couscous, asparagus and a red wine reduction.
Mendenhall said Lily's will serve locally produced food when possible, including fresh free range chicken.
The food here is absolutely fantastic.
The wait to get a table is absolutley awful (especially when you can see plenty of empty tables) - the person doing the seating is horrible. The wait staff is very good…
Once you get in and seated, hold on! The food is worth the inconvenience to us - may not be for others. Need to do some tweaking on the staff w/customer service.
I tried with friends and my husband several times...but for me the food is disappointing. I don't know how the Schnitzel are made in Stuttgart...where Eva comes from, but in the rest of Germany you will find very good prepared ones. Also I tried the Cabbage Roll twice.. it was a nightmare. I am pritty sure, every housewife can cook it better.
Best regards Claudia
My family and I have been here several times and we have yet to be disappointed. The food is great and flavorful; the service is wonderful; and the menu has great choices. Don't skip dessert - they're fantastic! My 3 year old son loves the spatzel, and for a 3 year old to not be picky, that's a win!
This was my first experience in any authentic German cuisine and it just blew me away. I liked the ambiance at Boulevard Haus The place was full, and the service was fast and the waitress did a great job explaining what was on tap and on the menu. I ordered the Schnitzel Wiener. I'm not much a pork fan, but this dish was delicious. Washed it down with some Hofbrau beer and it was the perfect blend of German Hedonism. They do give you quite a bit of food for reasonable prices. I was stuffed and felt like I was carrying a child in my belly on my way out. The owner Eva Brcic Christian (hope I got the spelling right) came to our table and made us feel at home. For dessert the owner actually gave us a dessert on the house, it was a Banana Crepe which was to die for! Overall, I had a great time. I highly recommend this place. Thanks Boulevard Haus, thank you Eva!
We are very lucky to have an authentic German restaurant in our city, especially one as good as Boulevard Haus!
friendly staff. Food and service was excellent. We had an appetizer, main course, dessert and drinks. the place is worth a visit,it is very authentic - we will be back.
I am from Germany and a friend told me to go to Boulevard Haus to try it. I must say I was very skeptical at first but it was excellent. We had the pretzel bread first, which was addicting. We then had the In Haus smoked Salmon which was probably my favorite and my husband had the Jaeger Schnitzel and I had the Wiener Schnitzel and our friends had the Schweinebraten and the Pretzel Burger. We were all blown away how good the food was. Our server was also so nice and gave us great service. We also had original Hofbrau Bier from Munchen Germany which was the best and great Martinis. At the end we had the Cream Puff with Peanut Butter and Chocolate and the Crepes, and a Chocolate Cake and even the coffee I have to say reminded me of Germany. I also have to say, it didn't look like a cheesy German restaurant, and it played traditional and contemporary German music which was refreshing. the Ambiance was warm and inviting and the restaurant was very clean. I would recommend this restaurant highly if you want excellent German food. Oh and the owner Eva was soo nice, she is from Germany and made our event perfect. thank you, Christina
I took a guest for lunch to the Boulevard Haus on Veterans' Day expecting to enjoy some authentic and savory German fare. We are both of German heritage and have eaten at restaurants serving good German food. Of course, you don't have to have any experience with German food to recognize and enjoy a good Wiener Schnitzel.
We both ordered it and were very disappointed. The Schnitzel was tough, about 2 millimeters thick, and encased in an even tougher breading. Given the brittleness and high fat content of the breading, the Schnitzel appeared to have been overcooked in a deep fryer at Long John Silvers instead of gently in a pan.
My sauteed vegetables, on the other hand, weren't cooked enough (I should be able to push a fork through cooked vegetables with ease and not have to grind them with my molars like a herbivore.)
My guest had chosen German Potato Salad and Red Cabbage for sides (Her Schnitzel was no better). The potato salad was sweet and not anything like a good hearty German Potato Salad. She remarked that the only good part of the meal was the Red Cabbage, probably because it was a good brand from a jar or can, and not made at the restaurant.
I told the waiter about my displeasure with the Schnitzel & Vegetables. My guest expressed her dissatisfaction with her meal too. He merely apologized and suggested that I complete the customer comment card that would accompany the bill. No staff at the restaurant offered to make amends for our poor meals even though we were pleasant when expressing our extreme disappointment. I wasted $30 (just for 2 Schnitzels) for absolutely miserable meals, fuel, and the time to/from/in the restaurant. "I'm sorry" is the best the Boulevard Haus had to offer.
The restaurant was clean and had a pleasant atmosphere. The service was perfunctorily good on a not busy day.
I left the restaurant hungry - having set my plate aside after eating a few bites of the wretched Schnitzel & about half the vegetables – intent on never returning.
The Haus has some style and no substance. - Nein Danke !
This place is SO NOT GERMAN - much less good food. I read Mark Fisher's review and decided to take a few friends who appreciate good German food. First of all he suggested the Smoked Salmon to start. It was so fishy smelling with the taste of old fish left in your mouth, - we could not eat it. The Chicken in Riesling was incredibly heavy with hardly anything else in it - oh, it did have some very grisly pieces of chicken in it. We wanted some sauerkraut and were dying for some good rosti potatoes. The sauerkraut had some kind of sauce (almost like a soy sauce) added to it. Made it taste over salty, like it had been in the refrig for a week - not a sauerkraut taste at all. The rosti potatoes were like eating old, dry up, flatten, large tater tots. EVERYTHING TASTED OLD. I could go on, but you get the point here... The waiter was nice, but did not seem like a professional waiter - someone filling in when short staffed. Over all - it was extremely DISAPPOINTING and not a pleasant experience. None of the 6 of us enjoyed anything other than our own company. I think Dayton needs to find some better food critics.
We went to this restaurant last night for dinner. After waiting to be even greeted at the door for 10 minutes, we almost walked out. (Mind you, probably about 5 servers walked past us in this time to the patio and didn't even acknowledge us.) When we were about to give up and leave a hostess finally came up and greeted us. The Server was pretty prompt in coming to our table and getting drink and food orders. After that, we waited almost 40 minutes for our food to come. In that time, we watched food come out of the kitchen into the window and sit for 20+ minutes before being brought out to customers. Once our food finally arrived my friends french fries were cold. The waitress took the fries she already had back to the kitchen and recooked them instead of bringing new ones....mmmmmmm. I ordered the Reuben panini which was fine. Another of my friends ordered the chicken pretzel sandwich which he only ate from being so hungry. Finally, another 20 minutes after we were done eating the server brought us our check. Overall, i would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. While some items on the menu are OK, the service is terrible. Obviously they aren't too concerned about customer service at this restaurant. The restaurant manager wouldn't even come out afterwords to speak with us. We talked with the bar manager which was very nice and tried to remedy the situation as best he could.
We just went to Boulevard Haus the other night with a large group for dinner. The food was outstanding, we had 4 people in our group from Germany who loved the food. Their martinis were excellent and we loved the patio in the back.... we will go back again and again, the pretzel burger was out of this world and the prices are very reasonable - thank you for finally bringing a German restaurant to Dayton
I had lunch at the BH today. I had the Bratwurst sandwich on the pretzel bun for $6.95 with a side of German potato salad. It was good but I was surprised when they brought the bill that I had been charged $2.95 for a side of sauerkraut. I asked the waitress about it and she said that the Bratwurst sandwich does not come with sauerkraut. I was surprised by that fact. I could not understand how a so called "German" restuarant would sell a bratwurst on a bun, plain and call it a sandwich. I explained my disappointment to the waitress and she said that she would check with the manager. She came back and said that there was nothing that she could do about it. I again explained how disappointed I was and that I could have bought a whole jar of sauerkraut at Walmart for $3.00 and that I could not understand how they could charge $2.95 for a tablespoon of sauerkraut. I also explained that I would have to consider other restuarants in the Dayton area next time. She said that she was sorry but there was nothing that she could do about it. I'm afraid that DH has lost a customer for life over $3.00. I have been to other restuarants and if I was dissatified with any part of my meal, they would refund the complete cost of my meal. If I were you and were looking for "Real" German food in the Dayton area, I would consider a ride over to Columbus to Schmidts. I plan on going there tomorrow evening for dinner. Do not go to DH, unless you want to ge gouged.

Creepy map lets you know everytime someone dies.
By Chad Barron | December 5, 2012
I'm not sure why I find this so intriguing, but this interactive map says that it will show you in real time when someone in the US dies, and when someone is born.
The fact that I can stare at this for hours, ponder life, and find it almost entertaining as watching "The Walking Dead" kind of bothers me; no not really. This webpage is even more fun than the virtual bubble wrap page.
In fact, if you try real hard, I swear you can will deaths or births. That is if you can stop ignoring the fact that this is a simulation.

A Gimp Suit is an article of clothing worn by Carl Johnson in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to attract Millie Perkins as a girlfriend. The gimp suit is black with a red bikini brief on it. While the pimp suit makes CJ more empowered, the gimp suit turns CJ into a subservient part of the BDSM culture. While it can be worn after the mission is over, it does not help out the respect and Sex Appeal meters needed to attract less "domineering" girlfriends. It is also the only special outfit that is immediately given to CJ from a girlfriend as opposed to after reaching 100%.
- The Gimp Suit could be based on a similar suit worn by a silent character in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction.

Moved Blogs
Hello! This blog was previously thesafarizone but has now moved to a new blog with the same name in March, 2014. This is because I was unhappy with how I was running the blog, particularily how I never asked for artists permission before posting their works (info/why this is important: 1 2 3).
I felt it would be better to start over instead of just revamping the current blog.
I would appreciate it if when you see images posted by this blog and not the new one that you refrain from reblogging them (the new posts have disclaimers saying permission was granted). In general, please avoid reblogging works from pixiv/other offsite websites if it isn't made clear that the person was given permission to repost. And of course, it should go without saying that you shouldn't reblog unsourced/edited works. Thank you.
While I can remove the original post on this blog, this will not affect the reblogs; these will stay the same unless each user deletes the post.

Gifts boost United Way of Snohomish County
Two large donations were announced at a luncheon that honored volunteers and former director Ralph White.
By Julie MuhlsteinHerald Writer
TULALIP -- A new United Way of Snohomish County endowment fund has gotten a healthy boost thanks to several gifts announced Monday, including $25,000 from the Kimberly-Clark Foundation and a land donation from Rodland Toyota of Everett.Dennis Smith, president and CEO of the local United Way, announced the donations at the agency's first-ever Legacy Luncheon: A Gathering of Friends. The event at the Hibulb Cultural Center honored former United Way campaign leaders, longtime volunteers, and 91-year-old Ralph White, executive director of the agency from 1967 to 1983.White was "the inspiration" behind the luncheon, said Karen Crowley, United Way vice president of impact and resource development. The event was paid for by sponsors, not donor dollars."When you dream, dream big. Then work hard to make those dreams come true," White told his audience of about 80 people. The Mill Creek man started at the agency when it was United Good Neighbors, with a staff of three."We do have a very wonderful legacy," said Smith, adding that since 1995 the local United Way has raised almost $200 million.The United Way of Snohomish County Endowment, launched last year, is a next step. The fund was started with $400,000, donated about a decade ago by the Wyrens Trust, according to United Way spokesman Neil Parekh.Smith said IAM District 751, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers at Boeing, initially gave the fund $25,000. Managed by KeyBank, the endowment fund has grown to $818,000, Crowley said. With expected insurance proceeds, the value is estimated at $1.6 million, she said.Smith announced several significant donations to the fund Monday, including the Kimberly-Clark Foundation's $25,000. It's a parting gift following the closure, in April, of the Kimberly-Clark pulp and paper mill on Everett's waterfront."It's a one-time donation. We've closed the plant, and in this transition period wanted to reach out to United Way," said Bob Brand, spokesman for the Kimberly-Clark Corp. Brand said the gift is meant to honor former Kimberly-Clark employees for their generous support of United Way over many years.Josh Estes, former president of the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers Local 183, is a United Way board member. He said at the luncheon that about 175 former mill workers are now employed by the Boeing Co., and many have returned to school.Smith also announced the gift of a wooded lot in Whatcom County, from Rodland Toyota of Everett. The land donation is a first for United Way.Buzz Rodland, president of the family-owned dealership and a longtime United Way supporter, couldn't attend the luncheon. He said later that the residential lot was acquired by the dealership "probably in the 1960s" as partial payment for a car. "It used to be common to take all kinds of things. We used to take in livestock, and we've taken in an airplane and boats," he said Monday.The lot is in an area called Glenhaven, Crowley said. Rodland said it's on a lake. United Way now owns the lot and will sell it to boost the endowment. Crowley said the asking price is $39,990. "Doing something for perpetuity makes a lot of sense," Rodland said.Two other gifts to the endowment were announced Monday. Debra Warden and Steve Kohlmyer, Tocquville Society-level donors who give at least $10,000 per year to United Way, have made the fund the beneficiary of a $250,000 life insurance policy.And Grace Holland, a machinists union member who is on United Way's board of directors, designated that her United Way payroll deduction go directly to the endowment fund.Crowley said the goal for the fund is $10 million, and that earnings from that amount would provide an additional $400,000 per year. Endowment donors can choose to support an impact fund that invests in community work, or a sustaining fund that supports United Way operations.This year, $9,000 from endowment fund earnings supported programs for English language learners, Parekh said."A gift to the endowment never goes away. It creates a source of revenue forever," Crowley said.It was announced Monday that Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring will be chairman of the 2013 United Way campaign, with the theme "Strength in Community." Community Transit CEO Joyce Eleanor is leading the 2012 campaign.The luncheon, which included a tour of the Tulalip Tribes' Hibulb center, wasn't all about the future."It's celebrating people's generosity. It's about past leaders of the organization coming back and sharing stories," Parekh said. "It's almost a family reunion."Julie Muhlstein: 425-339-3460; email@example.com Way grantsSnohomish County nonprofit organizations have a chance to apply for three-year grants offered by United Way of Snohomish County.Award decisions will be made in May 2013 for programs that focus on children and youth, improving access to basic needs, or helping people be involved in their communities. Applicants must submit, online, a letter of intent by Dec. 20.Potential applicants are invited, but not required, to attend one of two bidders' conferences. Meetings are scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday and Dec. 4 in the United Way Board Room, 3120 McDougall Ave., Suite 200, Everett.

A disheartening new pest invades California vegetable gardens
"Citizen scientists have been instrumental in reporting the occurrence of bagrada in various counties and are helping map its current distribution," said Surendra Dara, UC Cooperative Extension advisor in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. "This is a very serious pest. It is wiping out gardens, and is of great concern for small-scale and organic growers."
Bagrada bugs are major pests of cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, kale, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and broccoli, but they don't appear to be picky eaters. They have been known to feed on a wide variety of garden vegetables in California, including green beans, cantaloupe, corn, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes and sunflower. Even landscape plants are not immune. Bagrada bugs have been found feeding on ornamental plants in the mustard family, like sweet alyssum, stock and candytuft.
Dara said scientists had hoped cold winter temperatures in northern counties of California would limit the bagrada's northward march, but that hasn't been the case so far.
"Bagrada bugs can survive the winter or cold nights by entering the top layer of the soil around crops," he said. "They start appearing again in early spring and move from weeds to young vegetables."
For more information on bagrada bugs, see the Pest Note produced by the UC Integrated Pest Management Program. In addition, Dara regularly posts bagrada bug updates on his blog, Strawberries and Vegetables.

Farmers market prices compare well with the supermarket produce aisle
In Placer and Nevada counties, UCCE received a CDFA Specialty Block Grant to encourage consumers to eat more fruits and vegetables and support the local agricultural industry by buying the produce from them. The project led to the creation of the "Eat Local Placer Nevada" campaign.
"Buying locally grown products supports local farmers and ranchers and it keeps land in agriculture," said Cindy Fake, UCCE farm advisor in Placer and Nevada counties. "Simply put, it's the right thing to do."
To give consumers extra incentive to eat local, the group launched a seven-month study to compare prices at farmers markets and grocery stores. Volunteers and staff collected price data at four farmers markets and six grocery stores from January to July 2014. Specials and sale items were not part of the study. The data suggests that organic produce at farmers markets is priced about the same as organic produce at grocery stores.
In terms of conventional produce, grocery stores had cheaper prices on 6 out of 11 items; however, consumers would still save money picking up red apples, beets and chard at the farmers markets. The cost of conventional butternut squash and sweet potatoes was virtually equal at the two venues.
"Contrary to many consumers' perception, farmers market prices are competitive with regular supermarket prices," Fake said. "Some prices are slightly higher, some slightly lower, but they are in the same range. "
However, there are other factors shoppers should keep in mind when deciding to buy supermarket produce or fruit and vegetables grown by their neighboring farmers.
"Produce at the farmers market is sold the same day or the day after it is harvested," Fake said. "Because of that, its shelf life is two to three times longer than what is found in the supermarket. And because it is so fresh, you have a higher nutrient content and it will taste better."
Fake said experts believe buying local also supports the local economy. She is collaborating on a project led by Shermain Hardesty, UCCE specialist in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at UC Davis, to document the economic impact of local food systems in Placer, El Dorado, Sacramento and Yolo counties. The researchers will gather data about farmers' purchases of inputs and local sales of produce.
"This project will provide science-based evidence to guide public policy and program design aimed at supporting local farmers and local food systems into the future," Fake said.
The study – titled Measuring the Impact of Local Food Marketing on the Local Economy – is supported with a $226,048 grant from the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
About that lemoncello
One of the hazards of contributing to a shared blog, is that one forgets to post. So in this case, while I said in my last post that we would re-visit the lemoncello in mid-May, here it is September. Time flies.
The lemoncello is a huge success, we've been enjoying it on the hot summer afternoons that are plentiful in Davis. And here's how I got from pith to pleasure . . . .
The first steps in the lemoncello process were documented in this early Spring post. The recipe calls for 6 weeks of steeping the lemon zest in the alcohol in a cool, dark place; preferably, in a place where it won't be disturbed. I had placed mine in a place so cool, dark, and undisturbed it took me 45 minutes to find it.
But that resolved, I moved to the next step - filtering.
You can see that the zest from all of those lemons has settled to the bottom of the bottle. Lemoncello aficionados recommend a 2-step filtering process. The first step is to get most of the zest out using a fine sieve.
Look at all of this zest!
Quite a bit of solid material is left in the liquid after this process.
To remove these last solids, the liquid is filtered through a paper coffee filter. (Lemoncello purists, like coffee purists, would object to the use of a paper filter, saying it imparts a paper flavor.)
The next step is to add the cooled simple syrup. The basic simple syrup recipe calls for equal parts of sugar and water, but for lemoncello less sugar is used. For one 750ml bottle of base alcohol, you need 2-1/2 cups of water and 1-3/4 cups sugar. Add the sugar to the water in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature before adding to the lemoncello base.
Decant the mixture, and put in a cool, dark place for another 45 days. The addition of the simple syrup increases the volume, so you can't fit your mixture into the original bottle.
This mixture was moved into two tall glass bottles and set aside until early July.
You can put the finished lemoncello in the freezer or in the refrigerator. Enjoy it alone or in a cocktail on a hot summer afternoon when you need a little something refreshing!
If you want to make your own lemoncello, an excellent resource is the blog LemoncelloQuest.
UC Davis tomatoes provide year-round healthful eating for college students
At the same time, chefs and food buyers at universities, particularly the University of California, are selecting for high-quality fruits and vegetables, produced locally and sustainably. Universities with strong food sustainability programs are rightfully proud of what they're doing to educate students about food production, health, and nutrition. UC Davis Dining Services prioritizes the purchase of locally grown food (ideally within a 50-mile radius of campus). Most University of California campuses have similar programs.
At UC Davis, fresh roma tomatoes are picked each August from the 300-acre Russell Ranch, part of the campus's Agricultural Sustainability Institute, then processed within hours by campus Dining Services to provide year-round tomato sauce for pizza, pasta, and ratatouille. All told, 10,000 pounds of tomatoes are processed during a two-week period in August. About 29 percent of the total food served in the campus's residential dining halls is from local, organic or sustainable sources.
Emma Torbert, an academic coordinator at the UC Davis Agricultural Sustainability Institute, noted, "Connecting the food system to the research is really interesting. A lot of times there is confusion about where our food is coming from. The more people are educated, the more educated decisions they can make."
Many UC Davis faculty and staff are so impressed with the food choices at the dorms that they purchase individual meal tickets and enjoy lunches made with the campus-grown tomatoes, herbs, and other vegetables, all of which are part of the daily food array. Public dinners are also offered periodically at the dorms so that community members can sit amongst students to taste and learn about the sustainability programs in the dorms.

The devil -- er, bacteria -- made me do it
Research from UC San Francisco is showing that we also should pay attention to what's inside the gut.
Gut bacteria may affect both our cravings and moods to get us to eat what they want, and often are driving us toward obesity, according to an article published this month in the journal BioEssays.
Researchers concluded from a review of recent scientific literature that microbes influence human eating behavior and dietary choices to favor consumption of the particular nutrients they grow best on, rather than simply passively living off whatever nutrients we choose to send their way.
"Bacteria within the gut are manipulative," said corresponding author on the paper Carlo Maley, director of the Center for Evolution and Cancer with the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center at UCSF. "There is a diversity of interests represented in the microbiome, some aligned with our own dietary goals, and others not."
We also can influence this diverse community of microbes, collectively known as the gut microbiome, by altering what we ingest, Maley said, with measurable changes in the microbiome within 24 hours of diet change.
"Our diets have a huge impact on microbial populations in the gut," Maley said. "It's a whole ecosystem, and it's evolving on the time scale of minutes."
The gut is a growing field for research.
Michael Fischbach, a UCSF assistant professor of bioengineering and therapeutic sciences, studies gut bacteria and how they could help reveal the causes and new treatments for Crohn's disease and obesity.
"When I look at a person, I don't just see a warm, shiny human being," Fischbach said. "I see bacteria crawling all over you and living on every surface that's exposed and not exposed in your entire body. And you're lucky that they're there because these bacteria do very important things for you. They make your immune system function properly. They help you digest foods. And they produce important chemicals that serve as vitamins for your body."
With advancements in genetic sequencing technology, Fischbach and colleagues are mining gut bacteria for natural products – small molecules from microbes – that could hold the key for treating diseases.
"You used to have to travel to the coast of Palau to mine the ocean sediment for drugs," Fischbach said. "Now we can just check our gut!"
Fischbach discussed his gut research with collaborator Justin Sonnenburg, a Stanford University microbiologist with degrees from UC Davis and UC San Diego, at the recent New York Times Health for Tomorrow conference at UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center.
"The beauty of being in basic research is you don't know where you're going to end up," Fischbach said after their panel presentation. "It's nice to be on a journey where you don't know where the ship lands. I hope it's going to improve human health."

Kuznetsova Falls To McHale, Keeps Chin Up
Published August 22, 2011 12:00
NEW HAVEN, CT, USA - As if a victory over the No.1 player in the world in Cincinnati a week ago wasn't enough, Christina McHale continued to prove she is one of America's brightest future stars at the New Haven Open at Yale on Monday night, ousting No.6 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova in the first round.
Watch New Haven & Dallas on WTA Live powered by TennisTV!
McHale, who beat Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets five days ago at the Western & Southern Open, brought her A-game to the New Haven Open at Yale as well. Kuznetsova, a former No.2, was strong early on, building a 4-2 first set lead, but the 19-year-old McHale kicked into high gear, winning five of the next six games to grab a one set lead then comfortably closing it out, 75 63.
Wins by retirement not included, McHale now has three Top 20 wins, all this year - Kuznetsova at Indian Wells and here, and Wozniacki at Cincinnati.
Kuznetsova lost her opening match for the sixth time at a WTA event this year and the second time this summer - it also happened in Toronto two weeks ago.
"I actually felt I was playing well and moving all right. I just couldn't finish the points off," Kuznetsova said. "I played well in the first set but without playing a lot of matches recently, the confidence of finishing points off and closing games and sets out wasn't there. I played well today, I just couldn't finish it."
Although her preparation hasn't been ideal - her best result of the summer hardcourt season was a third round showing in Cincinnati last week, where she suffered a routine 62 63 loss to Maria Sharapova - Kuznetsova remained optimistic she can get her game in gear in time for Grand Slam competition.
"I couldn't play in San Diego because I was injured, and it changed everything," she said. "But I've been playing and practicing and I hope I can bring it when I really need it next week. And now that I have no more matches here, I can work on things more. I'll just go there and practice and get ready for the US Open."
Kuznetsova won her first Grand Slam title at the US Open in 2004, her other one coming at the French Open in 2009. She has reached two other Grand Slam finals - the French Open in 2006 and the US Open in 2007 (losing to the now-retired Justine Henin in straight sets on both occasions).
And on McHale, against whom she is now 0-2 lifetime, and 0-4 in sets? "I had my chances here, and I had my chances in Indian Wells, but she plays such a stable game," Kuznetsova added. "She's playing so stable and confident, and she has talent. She's still young and playing without pressure."
McHale plays her second round on Tuesday against Carla Suárez Navarro.

As Gen. Robert. E. Lee marched the Rebel army back to the South and thousands of dead and wounded littered the fields of Gettysburg, news of the fate of Northampton County's 153rd Pennsylvania infantry regiment was slow to reach home.
The first reports on the great battle appeared in the weekly edition of The Easton Sentinel, published July 9, 1863, six days after the fighting ended, though Gettysburg was just 100 miles away from the 153rd's home county. Under the headline "Cheering News" the paper proclaimed a "glorious victory" for Union forces under Gen. George Meade.
But tucked underneath the accolades came sobering news on Northampton County's own men. Recognizing that "a most intense anxiety prevails throughout the county" to learn what happened to the regiment, the Sentinel published what it acknowledged was an "imperfect list" of casualties suffered July 1-3 at Gettysburg, 150 years ago.
The newspaper said it got the list in a telegraph from "Friday last," which would have been July 3.
It had nine names — four captains and five lieutenants. Killed was "Capt. Harrison Young, Moorsburg." Of the rest, one was missing and six were wounded. And perhaps most agonizing for family and friends was the confusion over the exact identity of the last officer on the list — "Lieut. Arther (likely Capt. Oerter)" — and his unknown fate.
Even more chilling for those awaiting news of loved ones and the fortunes of the regiment was a letter from "young Hayden of this Borough," who reported he and about 80 others were captured during the fighting on Barlow's Knoll just north of Gettysburg, and he does "not give even a guess at the loss the regiment sustained."
A week later, on July 16, The Easton Argus published what it believed to be a complete list of 19 who were killed. Modern historians put the number much higher — they believe 53 from the regiment were killed, though some may not have died until later that month.
As family members eventually learned the fate of their beloved soldiers in the weeks after the battle, some rushed to Gettysburg to tend to the wounded and search for the missing.
George Schlabach, 64, of Bath, got information that his 22-year-old son Benjamin had been wounded and captured by Confederates. He immediately went to Gettysburg, where Benjamin was being treated.
By the end of the month, Benjamin Schlabach was dead, according to research by Center Valley author Jeff Stocker.
While news of Gettysburg was slow to reach home, it was even slower to reach Alfred Pretz of Allentown, a private in the 47th Pennsylvania regiment.
Desperate for news about Gettysburg, Pretz wrote home from Key West, Fla., where his regiment was located.
"How would you like to be without the war news for sixteen days, if the battles to be fought were expected to take place on the soil of your native state?" Pretz wrote on July 18. "We have not heard a whisper of anything that has transpired since July 2. The latest that we know is that two Corps of the Army of the Potomac attacked the rebels outside of Gettysburg and that General Reynolds was killed in the engagement — But we do not know how that battle even ended."
Gettysburg was the last battle for the 153rd, which had left Easton nine months earlier nearly 1,000 strong. It would return home by the end of July 1863 with about half as many men.
Mustering out
The members of the 153rd who survived Gettysburg joined the rest of the 11th Corps in pursuit of Lee's troops. They made it as far as Hagerstown, Md., before being sent home on July 13 because their nine-month enlistment had ended.
In camp at Hagerstown, Col. Leopold von Gilsa bade farewell to his men just 10 days after they played their part in the Army of the Potomac's greatest victory of the war.
Raised almost entirely from Northampton County, the regiment had its baptism of fire at Chancellorsville, Va., where Confederate forces rolled up the Union's flank — including the 153rd's position — in a complete rout that led to the Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania.
The invasion ended at Gettysburg, where the 153rd suffered great casualties in some of the earliest fighting outside of the small college town, but never allowed Confederates to break the Union flank.
On July 13, 1863, von Gilsa, who had served in the Prussian army in Europe before emigrating to New York where he played and taught piano, told his men to be proud of their service and to take care of each other.

Alpine has already picked up 484 inches on top which is around 108% of the annual snowfall average. The storm last week was the 3rd largest 4 day storm total in Alpine's recorded history. That was on top of the snowiest December on record, and we aren't done yet.
We have another cold storm beginning to work its way down the coast off of British Columbia today. That storm is beginning to pull in moisture off of the Pacific as it moves down the West coast. Snow began falling this morning and it will last into Saturday. The heaviest snow will fall tonight into the day on Friday. We could clear out as early as Saturday morning but some models have the storm departing a bit slower and the snowshowers sticking around through the day on Saturday.
If you thought the snow with the last storm was light, wait until you see what is coming. The cold with this storm will be as big of a story as the snowfall. Highs in the teens on the mountains Friday and Saturday and lows in the single digits will create snow ratios of 20-30:1. We are going to get some decent snow totals although we are only working with 1.5-2 inches of liquid. With snow ratios of 20-30:1 throughout the storm we will have snowfall totals of 2-3 feet at the base, and 3-4+ feet on top. I wouldn't be surprised if Alpine hits 5 feet at the summit.
By Sunday & Monday the sun is shining and temps begin to rebound quickly back into the 20′s & 30′s as we get a Southwest flow and a weak ridge ahead of the next storm moving across the Pacific. The pattern next week will be differen't than what we have seen the past 2 weeks. The ridge wants to setup near the Aleutians or maybe even further North over the Bering Sea. So not only will there be storms coming down the coast from the North, but also from across the Pacific as they can easily pass under the new position of the ridge.
How the storms coming from the two directions interact is the question. The storms coming from West to East across the Pacific will be able to tap into subtropical moisture so they will be strong and much warmer than the storms we have seen. The storms coming down from the North will be cold. It may be the perfect combination as the cold lows from the North can push enough cold into the storms from the West to keep snow levels just at or below lake level.
The models show a train of storms lined up across the Pacific next week, so the way it looks right now we should see a storm every couple of days. I am still not seeing anything long-term that would stop this pattern. The next two weeks should be quite stormy with normal Sierra style snow adding to our already impressive totals. BA

A piece of metal smashed through a windshield as a vehicle was traveling eastbound on I-696 just east of Lahser Road on Thursday afternoon."Just a random piece of steel from somewhere came out of nowhere, went through it looks like the upper left hand part of his windshield and struck him in the head," said Chris George.His friend suffered a devastating head injury. The 41-year-old husband and father of a five-year-old son is in critical condition.Witnesses who saw the accident at 4:30 p.m. Thursday told Michigan State Police the victim appeared to have a blowout, then crashed into the median wall.A piece of metal through the windshield, a blown tire and a crash, it is not clear just what happened first, but the victim's family wants to know the origins of that flying object."We've got to have a couple experts come in and take a look at these different things to determine what came first, and unfortunately, we may never know," said Lieutenant Michael Shaw."It might not have been on the freeway at all. It could've fell off of another vehicle and just came off the overpass."Witnesses stopped to say they had seen the crash, but Michigan State Police want to talk to anybody who might have seen something more, such as where the piece of metal may have come from.

Plus: 1-2-3-4 Go! Records needs help; A Million Billion Dying Suns get heavy at the Knockout
Back here on this side of the Bay, A Million Billion Dying Suns — the psych-rock project of busy guitar virtuoso Nate Mercereau, who tours with Sheila E., among others (last week he was backing Dave Chappelle at the SFJazz Center) — have embarked on a mini-residency of sorts at the Knockout, starting with a Feb. 11 show. They recently had a song featured in a GoPro commercial, accompanying Shaun White as he blasts through snow-covered hills, but the band's had my attention for about a year now, especially since the arrival last November's Strawberry EP, with its slow-building, expertly crafted wall of spaced-out guitar fuzz, particularly on "Strawberry Letter 23," a cover/homage to Shuggie Otis.
"I record a lot of stuff by myself, and Shuggie Otis has been a huge inspiration in that respect," says Mercereau, who recently moved to LA, though he finds himself back in SF "every two weeks or so" — the band's studio is still here. "Though it was also for our friend [manager and friend to many an SF musician] Steve Brodsky, who passed away last year. He really loved that song, and it felt like a way to do something for him."
The Knockout feels a little small for the seriously powerful five-piece, Mercereau will acknowledge, but he wanted a residency at "a place our friends can walk to, a down-home punk rock spot that's in the neighborhood." If all goes well, he says, AMBDS will have another few shows here shortly, regardless of his new home base. "It's easier than you might think," he says. "We just live on Highway 5."

Many dinner-table conversations around the U.S. in the coming days will be dominated by the .
What do you do if the ones asking questions about the violence are the people at the table whose feet barely reach the floor, and who will be off to an elementary school of their own come Monday morning?
The world is a complex place, but parents can take measures to reassure kids who have questions about violent or scary events in the news.
Dr. Veronica Chavez, a clinical psychologist specializing in childhood trauma, cautions parents of the dangers of allowing too much exposure to violent images in the news.
"The presentation of symptoms are similar in children who have experienced trauma first-hand," said Chavez. "It's called secondary trauma. The symptoms include regression of behavior like sucking their thumb, wetting the bed, they can't sleep sleep, affected appetite, overly fearful, they may not want to go to school."
According to Chavez, there are three important things parents can do to help mitigate their child's trauma:
- Don't feel like you have to talk about the event. If your kids don't talk about it, you don't have to.
- If your child brings it up, it's fine to talk about it briefly, in as age-appropriate terms as you can.
- Keep the TV-watching to a minimum and monitor the information your kids are receiving.
Most important, said Chavez, if a parent is uneasy, their children will be too.
Dr. Moe Gelbart, executive director of the Thelma McMillen Center at Torrance Memorial Medical Center, said that parents should be "truthful, but age-appropriate truthful."
He recommended "reflective listening," especially when dealing with very young children.
Instead of asking the child what he or she is feeling, Gelbart suggested anticipating the child's emotions and verbalizing those feelings. He said parents of young children shouldn't address the subject unless the child mentions it.
The younger the child, the more important it is to provide a sense of security, according to Gelbart. He also said that parents should hug their children and tell them they love them.
He also said hugging your children and telling them you love them is good advice.
Some kids are more susceptible to secondary trauma than others, said Brenda Bursch, a pediatric psychologist and UCLA professor of clinical psychiatry and bio-behavioral sciences.
"Kids who have experienced trauma in their past are more vulnerable," said Bursch. "And younger kids might have a harder time understanding that Connecticut is that far away."
Some kids can be worried about their own safety, said Bursch, and other kids might see it and consider it like the violence they see on TV shows and think nothing of it.

Tips from Support Networks and Agencies
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration provides a 24-hour counseling hotline that can be reached by phone at 1-800-985-5990 and by text message (Text 'TalkWithUs' to 66746) "to U.S. residents who are experiencing psychological distress as a result of a natural or man-made disasters, incidents of mass violence or any other disasters." For more information on the hotline, click here. A PDF with advice on talking to children and adolescents who are coping with traumatic stress is attached to this article, and also available here.
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network offers some tips for parents of children who display symptoms of stress as a result of news of the shooting:
1. Learn about the common reactions that children have to traumatic events.
2. Consult a qualified mental health professional if your child's distress continues for several weeks. Ask your child's school for an appropriate referral.
3. Assure your child of his or her safety at home and at school. Talk with him or her about what you've done to make him or her safe at home and what the school is doing to keep students safe.
4. Reassure your child that he or she is not responsible. Children may blame themselves for events, even those completely out of their control.
5. Allow your child to express his or her fears and fantasies verbally or through play. That is a normal part of the recovery process.
6. Maintain regular home and school routines to support the process of recovery, but make sure your child continues going to school and stays in school.
7. Be patient. There is no correct timetable for healing. Some children will recover quickly. Other children recover more slowly. Try not to push him or her to "just get over it," and let him or her know that he or she should not feel guilty or bad about any of his or her feelings.

Lego's Ninjago Rebooted gives you all the blocky ninja endless running you can handle
Matthew Diener
Lego Ninjago Rebooted
Android, iPhone, iPad
Endless running
[shrink screenshot]
[enlarge screenshot]
It's almost the weekend, and chances are good that you're in the mood for a bit of relaxation and vegging.
Sure there are excellent and deep games that launched recently for iOS and Android, but sometimes you just want to watch a blocky little Ninja man trundle on endlessly as you collect studs to fuel his ninjitsu powers.
Thankfully, the good folk over at Lego are here to help with
Ninjago Rebooted
- an endless runner set in its futuristic Ninjago line of playsets.
Ninja vanish
Ninjago Rebooted
is, as you might expect, a free-to-play endless runner that lets you play as any of the characters from the TV Show - Kai, Cole, Jay, or Zane.
Once you take control of one of the four ninjas, your goal is to help them climb up to the top of Borg Tower so they can defeat the forces of the imposingly named overlord.
Action's split between vertical and horizontal sections, and you can choose between a mission-based Story Mode or just run endlessly in the appropriately named "Endless" mode.
This certainly isn't the deepest endless runner we've seen, but it's from Lego so you should have a good idea of what to expect. Click here to nab it from Google Play, or tap that black button below to grab it from iTunes.
