Trendiest places and best eats
- SarahOM May 10, 2009 08:30 AM
I am visiting San Francisco (Staying at the Clift Hotel) for one whole week. Apart from doing the private Napa Tours, what do you recommend when it comes to best eats and best bars? We are in our late 20's and love to eat at the best and trendiest. Can you help us!?
I'm also in my late twenties. My strong reccmendations for restaurants with terrific food and good/young/trendy vibes would be:
A16 (Southern Italian)
Laiola (Modern Spanish)
NOPA (Modern CA)
Perhaps not quite as trendy, but still modern and cool with great food:
Slanted Door (Modern Vietnamese)
Ame (French/Italian/Japanese fusion -- a bit older clientele, being downtown... *awesome* food, though)
Delfina (Northern Italian)
Bars as in, like clubs wth music or as in places to grab a drink? I'm not super into that scene but as far as clubs go I've had fun at Bambuddha and Medjool (wine bar -- also has a restaurant I've never been to). As far as *bars* I generally just stumble into some place on Columbus in North Beach. I forget its name but I'll re-post when I recall.
re: whiner
I'll second NOPA, as it seems to be the hottest choice these days. I'd also put Slanted Door in the trendy category. Although it has been around awhile, it is still SF's most visited restaurant.
re: whiner
these look awesome! Thanks for your help!!!!
re: wolfe
Or the OP can take heed of the advice given to her when she posted a couple weeks ago on this same topic: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/613397
re: Eugene Park
Thank you Eugene, although the strongest advice was that I posted an airport more than anything. I still want real time and up to date advice on whats in TODAY versus last year and months ago. Thanks though. I still want San Fran to prove to me they are better than MIA (which clearly you guys are) so give me advice!
re: SarahOM
We are "better" than Miami (which I assume is what you mean when you keep using that odd abbreviation?) because here quality is timeless. Though I'll bet there's plenty of great timeless stuff there too.
"Trendy" almost does not exist here in the sense you seem to mean it. And insofar as it does, Yelp is the place which will lead you to bars where everyone will look like you.
What do you like to eat?
re: SarahOM
Your demand is very generic. Consider asking a more specific question for a more specific answer. And consider phrasing it as a question.
Here is the Chron's top 100 list, came out only a few weeks ago. We all "love to hate" this list, but it's not a terrible place to start.
As pointed out, we don't really do "trendy". Cocktails from last week:
Epic / Waterbar opened recently.
Bourdain was in town filming a few weeks ago. The only thing I remember was the bacon latte from Pirate Cat radio - here's a map:
Slocombe's ice cream.
Manressa since Kinch whipped Bobby Flay on some iron chef.
Is that what you mean by trendy?
re: bbulkow
very helpful, thank you for your post.
#1 Dont do a Napa Tour. DIY! Those things are a joke. Just rent a car for a day and drive up your self. It is easy to just wing it if your just doing napa and probably the same cost.
#2 95% of people could give a damn about the trend factor. In fact, most people think trend equates to lesser quality food. Im in my early 20s, and good food, is good food regardless of the setting.
re: Adamsimpson
So if that is the case...what are your "non trend recs?"
Sorry to sound snarky, but if you're looking for trendy, just go to the Marina District, look for groups of beautiful people, and eat there. Odds are the food won't be terrible, and you'll leave the really good stuff for the rest of us.
Unlike Miami (and to a lesser extent LA and New York), people in SF realize that "good" and "in" have nothing to do with one another. As for "non trend recs," look at the lists rworange compiled and linked to in response to your first post. There's a wealth of information there.
Thanks for your help. We look for cool looking restaurants in the sense of design, yet we prefer good food. I am a more well rounded person when it comes to eating all sorts of plates, my husband is typical upstate NY steak and potatoes (we are not from Miami, we just happen to be here now in this point in our lives for those who want to know) anyhow, we love visiting local good old restaurants that are staples as well as bars that do small plates and have a great scene when it comes to having a lot of people that frequent often and good ambience. So thanks for all your help and even to those that seemed "snarkier" than others. Peace.
re: SarahOM
Trendy, cool looking and steak and potatoes is a difficult match.
NOPA is a good pick, maybe Zuni since it's being renovated right now but should be ready (but check on this). Both will have accessible food. Zuni more pleasant, NOPA more trendy...but there's not much of a hood to walk around afterwards, although a drive over to the Haight could be fun afterwards.
If you want the best of SF, you'll probably need to open things up a bit beyond steak and potatoes (see whiner's first response).
re: the snarkiness...look at the SF board, there's often 2-3 requests for suggestions on the same day...which means you get a better answer with a better question. Asking an SF'er where to eat is like asking a NY'er how to get on the subway...you'll get honest answers but you'll get snark as well.
p.s. the "proving" stuff is very east coast...out here it's more you go, you hang, you eat and hopefully it's all good. If not, you have tomorrow.
re: ML8000
Thank ML8000. NOPA seems like my kind of place. That is def on my list already.
re: SarahOM
The funny thing about Nopa is it draws a pretty broad crowd. It's one of the things I like about it best, that you see all types, ages. The secrets been out on that one. That's not usually what people look for in a "trendy" in the know kind of place. Spruce might be a little more to your liking if you want to feel like you're going somewhere exclusive, and that matters to you. Otherwise, Nopa was a great suggestion, it's just not a see and be seen kind of place anymore.
re: ML8000
Zuni has reopened, it was only closed for a long weekend.
re: JasmineG
Any word on Zuni? Any difference? It sounds like it was a minor renovation, perhaps kitchen stuff?
re: ML8000
Tablehopper reported:
Here are the updates to the space: the front staircase leading up to the mezzanine has been redone; all of the floors in the upstairs dining rooms have new parquet planks; there has been a little resizing of some seating areas (plus there are new restored chairs to come); the brick oven interior was rebuilt; everything was cleaned, waxed, re-grouted, some tables got new table bases, and all of the service stations upstairs have been redone. There's also a new gallery hanging work now (Hackett-Freedman closed and so now Dolby Chadwick is loaning work).
re: SarahOM
Beretta seems like a good fit; great cocktails, good food, and a sexy ambiance (well, I think so anyway). Plenty of bars and lounges nearby as well.
re: betterbeheaven
:) thank you.
re: SarahOM
Funny... I start lurking these boards because I am tired of the "oh you didn't know there was a thread on this already I will link it" thread police, or vacuous snarkiness of tightly wound people that just need to help you know what you are doing is wrong.... but I guest whether it's yelp, tribe, or here.... the internet is the internet no matter at what lovely site you prefer.
That being said:
I think I am your people, Sarah. I hate trendy and hipster, but I am into design, presentation, and "story" behind a restaurant and the community they are trying to create. I think Nopa fell flat... service, atmosphere, location. It is cavernous, it is loud. I dig what you are saying, but I might suggest staying away from places like Medjool or hipster crash pads. The battle of empty headed cool going on 'tween NY and SF (if you understand the abbreviations tee hee) is really making the Mission District a total disaster. But... that might be the best place for you as there are MANY MANY awesome choices for food and activity, with really lovely places like Beobab hidden perfectlly behind the awful awful bubble bar.
A good day:
BRUNCH: Foreign Cinema is fantastic.. brunch will have the best bacon you have ever had, dinner will have a lovely silent film projected on the wall.
LUNCH: You may want to try Monk's Kettle... nice pub food with about a billion (hyperbole) beers on tab and bottle with one of the best beer lists I have seen (at least, how it is laid out and put together)
I would say try Blue Plate in the Mission.. a comfort food approach to a finer (not fine) dining. It is for a simpler night.
I would say, hands down, "Range" in the Mission... a fantastic spot with an INCREDIBLE menu. Great concise wine list too. One of the best white Bordeaux's I have ever had (ashamed that, by the end of the night, my meal had washed my memory of most things including it's name).
Maybe Delfina?
re: pavlov
thank u so much pavlov! and thank you for posting something really useful for once in this board! i loved the recs! i will report back just for people like you
re: peppermonkey
thank you so much!
The trendiest places I have been to in the last 6 months are:
Dosa on Fillmore - New, trendy, great CA-Indian food (if your husband will do Indian fusion food),
Foreign Cinema- as already mentioned... Do not miss this place if you like great decor. Great CA food.
Bossa Nova - This hard to find Brazilian restaurant in SOMA has great food and caparinias (if you tell them to go light on the sugar) .. they have lots of small plates (like tapas); it is really trendy with lots of Brazilians hanging out... some nights they have music.
re: lrealml
Dosa is a great recommendation. We went the other night, and were pleasantly surprised by the food. It seems more well-executed than the original Dosa on Valencia, and the portion sizes are enormous so it doesn't end up being that expensive. Excellent cocktails, and a nice space that isn't my absolute favorite from a design sense, but does seem to support the South Indian food in terms of theme and style.
re: SteveG
Don't recall anyone previously comparing the two locations & commenting on portion size. Glad to know this & am looking forward to trying it out soon. Thanks.
re: ceekskat
Well, I haven't been to the Valencia location in years so I can't really compare portion size directly. Went once, found the food to lack complexity, the prices high, the wait long, the service terrible, the drinks too sweet.
This time around, all of the things I didn't like about the original a few years ago have been addressed. The FIllmore location took reservations and service was acceptable. Drinks seemed more grown up than before and were well-balanced. One of our Dosas, the Paper Masala ($11), had the most delectable taste of browned butter and fried crispy cheese, with a flexible-crispy texture like a just cooling tuile, and our long-braised peppercorn chicken ($14) was delicious.
In terms of portion size, for two people we ordered a salad, a starter, a meat Entree, and a Dosa. That would have been enough to fill us up solidly, and we're large eaters, but we also ordered a plain Uttapam ($3) to go with the peppercorn chicken as recommended by the menu, some Poori, and a selection of chutneys. We could barely touch the Poori ($4.5), and took most of the peppercorn chicken and uttapam home. Pretty much any of the side dishes consisting of vegetarian components are very filling and pretty cheap considering the surroundings.
re: SteveG
" delectable taste of browned butter and fried crispy cheese, with a flexible-crispy texture like a just cooling tuile"....love this description!

Look! Simple Pumpkin Decorations
Just because Halloween is over, doesn't mean it's time to ignore the pumpkins. A grouping of various pumpkins and gourds can make a simple and charming welcome to any front door.
We spotted these while trick or treating and love the eclectic collection of shapes, colors and sizes. So simple, yet so adorable and a lovely way to continue celebrating fall and --- soon enough --- Thanksgiving.
6 Comments
Anyone know how long a pumpkin can sit around before it starts to rot? I want to decorate with some small pumpkins and gords for thanksgiving and I'm wondering f I buy them now will they be OK by thanksgiving.
They will last a while if they aren't carved. I don't know of any specific time, but I imagine the larger of the gords will last a little bit longer.
I bought some small pumpkins and gords from a fruit stand and they were starting to mold about a week or two later. I don't know about the larger ones.
Tabitha @ http://www.fromsingletomarried.com
It would be fun to see reader's jack-o-lanterns for ideas for next year. Maybe you could ask for submissions and do a round-up post.
I've heard that one can soak a pumpkin (carved or uncarved) in a bleach/water solution (1 tsp. bleach 1 gallon water) and this will inhibit the growth of mold. No personal experience, however.
Some of my little gourds survive intact from Halloween to Thanksgiving, and some get moldy. Happens every year.

New allegations against the troubled West Valley City Police Department were revealed this week by an attorney representing the parents of Danielle Willard, who was shot and killed by police in 2012.
Attorney Mark Geragos is asking a federal judge not to halt their civil court case while former Detective Shaun Cowley faces criminal prosecution for the shooting.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Geragos alleges as part of a Monday court filing that an officer — not Cowley — accused of having sexual contact with potential suspects was given "hush money" after he resigned from the department, and that the officer "extorted a cash buyout" and resigned instead of going public with details about corruption within the department.
But Police Chief Lee Russo said Tuesday that while the officer did receive a severance payment and signed a nondisclosure agreement when he resigned about a year and a half ago, the money wasn't given to keep him quiet.
"In no way, shape or form was this presented as covering up anything or as hush money," Russo told The Salt Lake Tribune.
Russo said the officer's actions regarding alleged sexual activity were reviewed by the Utah attorney general's office, but no criminal wrongdoing was found, and charges were never filed.
Attorneys for Willard's parents are arguing in a civil wrongful-death case filed in federal court against Cowley and others that the case should not be halted while Cowley's criminal case plays out.
The former detective is charged in 3rd District Court with second-degree felony manslaughter for the 21-year-old woman's death in 2012.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, Cowley, 33, made a brief initial appearance in Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court in the criminal case.
Cowley's attorney waived reading of the charge, and a scheduling hearing was set for July 28. Cowley left the courtroom quickly and did not comment to reporters. If convicted, Cowley could be sentenced to prison for up to 15 years.
Kevin Salmon, the other detective involved in Willard's shooting, was not charged.
Attorney Geragos in his civil court filing alleging that "hush money" was paid, focused on a portion of a deposition with West Valley City Manager Wayne Pyle, who said that city administrators willingly agreed to pay the officer in question:
"Mr. Geragos: OK. Did you know about the accusations of his sexual liaisons with potential suspects while on his shift at the time that the $10,000 was authorized?
"Mr. Pyle: Yes.
"Mr. Geragos: And you knew that he was calling that hush money so he wouldn't talk?
"Mr. Pyle: I was aware of that after as [Assistant City Manager] Mr. [Paul] Isaac made it known to me, yes.
"Mr. Geragos: OK. Were you aware at that time that [the officer] wanted — was it $10,000 payment?
"Mr. Pyle: I don't remember.
"Mr. Geragos: Whatever it was, you had authorized it at the time, right?
"My. Pyle: Uh-huh."
Pyle was did not respond to a request for comment.Next Page >

The coach from NBC's super popular The Voice has now had every single from his record "Red River Blue" go number one on the charts. Other number one singles from the record include "Honey Bee," "God Gave Me You," and "Drink On It." His album,"Red River Blue," was recently certified gold by the RIAA for selling more than 500, 000 copies digitally since its release.
Blake recorded two more albums – one Christmas album and a brand new studio album due out 2013. His first-ever Christmas album will come out just in time for Halloween in October, and includes a duet with his third season Team Blake adviser, and Canadian, Michael Buble.
We'll be joining Blake on the Blake Shelton Cruise this October and we want you to join us too! The Cruise embarks on a 7-night country music party from Miami, Florida with the biggest fans in country music. It's the largest country music event to ever set sail, and will feature performances by Trace Adkins, Raelynn, Jerrod Niemann, Lee Brice, Neal McCoy, Easton Corbin and many, many more talented acts! Blake himself will perform on two nights during the Cruise.
If you mention Keepin' it Country with your new reservation you'll qualify for a free gift from us on-board! For more information, or to book your cabin now, visit blakesheltoncruise.com.

Have you guys thought about expanding your market to vehicles for Wi-Fi hotspots or to be able to pick up a Verizon network to be able to do different things with the computers that are in most new vehicles... Or something similar?
It is the year 2013 and instead of fiber ready equipment you want to piggyback on ancient cable wire!!!
I had to pay for a Verizon tech to run fiber from the garage to apartment entrance??
How about when you prewire a building you at least run some fiber
Located 3 blocks from your store and can't get fios or enhanced DSL. sheeeesh.
We need Verizon high speed internet in our area!
Verizion should think about adding in a Parental Rating that provides reviews, program descriptions, and details about the programs language, violence, sexual content, and the recommended age appropriate scale for the program so that it can helpful to the parents or whoever to decide whether the movie/show is appropriate for the child to watch.
I watch TV5 Monde all the time. Now I have IOGEAR for HD channels. This works perfectly with HD channels. The problem is TV5 Monde is not in HD so I can't connect to that channel through IOGEAR. Could you please give us access to that channel in HD?
Verizon's On Demand free movies don't provide the captioning movies for deaf and hard of hearing customers. Please fix ASAP. We pay for the TV service so we have right to have equal accessiblity as hearing people. .
I wanted to search the TV listings for any lacrosse game so that I could record it while I'm out. I used both of the search features at the top of the TV listings page, and it would allow me only to search the on-demand that the online movies. I don't want to do that; I just wanted to search the tv listings today. You need to put on that page an easy way for me to search the TV listings.
Saw someone's idea to put live sports scores on the info tabs at the bottom of the screen when you scroll up and and down. I'd also like to suggest something similar for the Music Choice channels. Display the song and artist currently playing for each channel on the info tab.
Please enable full information screen when viewing DVR list.
For FiOS TV we selected the package that had the channels we really wanted, but it includes a bunch of "special" channels that we have no interest in. (MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NHL Network) The only sport we follow at the college and professional level is lacrosse. I would rather trade these other special sports channels all in for CBS Sports Network, which carries the sport.
Permit the customer to decide if they want to use a password or not.
I have a "bundle" discount for phone and internet and some other discount for having "one bill" with my cell phone and home services
My apartment has only ONE phone jack. I had used a splitter to plug in both my phone and internet but the phone was interfering with the internet (yes, I had the filter on the phone line) so I had to unplug the phone or risk 3 hours on the phone with tech support to reset my motem every 3 days.
I wanted to have the phone disconnected and save myself 25.00 a month, but without phone service I can't get internet...with current technology, this is ridiculous! My town will apparently never get FIOS so I am forced to start looking to the cable company to see what they can do for me. It's a shame since I have never gone to another phone company since it was Bell Telephone.....Sorry Verizon but I work too hard for my money to give it to a company that isn't being as loyal to me as I've been to them!

WEST BEND (WKOW) -- A state appeals court ruled Wednesday a West Bend couple can't recoup the costs of raising a child they conceived after a clinic mistakenly gave the mother vitamins instead of birth control pills.In the lawsuit, Shelby Nell and Austin Omernick claim West Bend Clinic filled Nell's birth control prescription with prenatal vitamins.
The couple gave birth to a healthy boy in 2009 and sued the clinic in 2010, seeking damages related to pain and suffering during the pregnancy and the cost of raising the child to age 18.The 2nd District Court of Appeals ruled the couple can't collect the cost of raising the boy, because the precedent would create too many avenues for fraud. However, the couple can seek damages for suffering.

Just one tragic "baby left in car dies" story is one too many. But after years of hearing about children abandoned on freezing cold or boiling hot days by careless parents, there's a new and equally tragic twist out of Oklahoma today. It wasn't too hot outside, and Cody Butler's daughter doesn't seem to have been abandoned in the cold. In fact, his baby girl died in a heated car while dad was allegedly standing right outside!
It's all so strange that cops themselves say they're confused. But that hasn't stopped them from carting Butler off to jail on charges of child neglect and second-degree manslaughter.
I don't know about you, but the charges are terrifying. If the details we know so far are true, it sounds like Butler did what any normal parent would do.
In fact, it sounds like common sense to me. This dad had apparently taken his daughter to the park. When she got cold and tired, he put her in her car seat, turned on the heat for her, then stood outside chatting.
You don't want to keep a small child -- Butler's daughter was just 18 months old -- out in the freezing cold. How many times have you been somewhere with your child, bundled them up in their car seat, and turned the car on to keep them warm while you stood right outside? I live in upstate New York where it's cold more months of the year than not. Although I won't leave a small child in a running vehicle unless I am "right there," I have stood beside the car while it was on so that I froze while my child stayed warm.
But cops in Butler's case say the girl was too warm in the car. They say that after an hour of her sitting in the car, Dad looked in, saw her cheeks were purple, and started CPR. Paramedics took her to the hospital where doctors found an extremely high core temperature before the little girl died.
It all sounds like a horrific tragedy. And a major warning for parents. Just because you're not leaving your kids in a freezing cold car doesn't mean they are safe! I know I'm going to be more careful, how about you?
Do you ever start the car up to keep the kids warm while you stand outside?
Image via tuppus/Flickr
I'm confused. How long was she in the car to get that hot? Unless the heater was on full blast and in there for at least an hour. But I feel sorry for the baby and the family loss.
the original story does say she was in there "about an hour" but they're reviewing security tapes. this is just incredibly tragic and my heart goes out to the family. :(
and no, i live in southern cali, so no real need to 'warm up the car' down this way.
Umm this doesn't make sense. It was cold so he put her in the car with heat then he was chatting for an hr. ho the hell chats for an hr outside while the kid is in the car. I'm sorry once my son and I are cold we leave and go home. I don't stand and chat. I never done that. Well I don't drive but my bf does and he never done that. I think there is more to this story.

In late September the Antwerp Court of Appeal ruled that Belgacom and Telenet (two of Belgium's biggest ISPs) are to block access to 11 domains that are connected to The Pirate Bay, thus opening doors to similar actions.
The Belgian Anti-Piracy Federation (BAF) did just that by sending letters to some Belgian ISPs, asking them to do the same within 10 days "or else".
Discovered and published on their website by NURPA – a Belgian advocacy group that protects citizen's digital rights – the letter states:
"To ensure an optimal effect, this measure should be implemented by all Internet service providers, not just by Belgacom and Telenet."
"Failing a satisfactory response from you within the time limit, the BAF will begin legal proceedings against you," BAF threatens.
By the looks of it, the letter has already scared BASE (a Belgian ISP) which gradually started to block access to The Pirate Bay. Ironically enough, this ISP's banner is "Freedom of speech".
NURPA criticizes and warns about BAF's actions, as they're convinced that the anti-piracy organization would not stop here.
"These practices of censorship, which are justified by imaginary losses and imposed by blackmail, show the urgent need for legislation on Net Neutrality in order to establish a legal framework for fair protection of fundamental rights on the Internet," NURPA spokesman André Loconte told TorrentFreak.
BAF's struggle may prove to be futile, even if they succeed in their mission.
"This will just give us more traffic, as always. Thanks for the free advertising," a spokesperson told TF.
And to support that claim, Pirate Bay registered depiraatbaai.be, a new domain that's not blocked by court order. In just a few weeks, the new address is already the 122nd most visited in Belgium.

Having just come out of high school, I remember this chemical very well. Sulfur hexafluoride, plays a large part in Level 3 Structure and Bonding, in Chemistry. The bonding shape and angles make it a perfect candidate to display the octahedral shape etc.
Something that my chemistry professor neglected to mention was just how COOL this chemical is! Sulfur hexafluoride is much denser than air, and can act almost like a liquid, as seen in this video below where a boat made out of tinfoil floats on a layer of sulfur hexafluoride.
(suffering issues with the video showing, it will show if you view the post on the blog)

Keep A Clear Mind
Program Type: Resources - Information or materials that might help develop a program/project in a community but can not be defined as a Best Practice, Promising Practice, or Local Effort.
Keep a Clear Mind (KACM) is a take-home drug education program for upper elementary school students 8 to 12 years old and their parents. The take-home material consists of 4 weekly set of activities to be completed by parents and their children together. The program also uses parent newsletters and incentives. KACM lessons are based on a social skills training model and designed to help children develop specific skills to refuse and avoid the use of "gateway" drugs. This unique, early intervention program has been shown to positively influence known risk factors for later substance use.

Carol Browner was covered in an August post on my blog Discussion of Issues.
In that article I reference a January 2009 article from American Spectator Doug Bandow:
An excerpt:
Conservatives are often accused of scaremongering when they claim left-wing environmentalists are actually socialists hiding behind green disguises. But with Carol Browner, incoming President Barack Obama's freshly appointed Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change – the so-called White House "Climate Czar" - there is no question about the socialism. Browner is a member of the Commission for a Sustainable World Society (CSWS), which is a formal organ of the Socialist International. Oddly enough, the group's web site was recently scrubbed to remove Browner's picture and biography, but her name is still listed next to the photo-biographies of her 14 colleagues on the commission. The Socialist International is no group of woolly-headed idealists. It is an influential assembly of officials from across the international community whose official Statement of Principles describes an agenda of gaining and exercising government power based on socialist concepts. Read the rest of the article here.
Update 8/29/09 *Socialist International Website no longer shows Carol Browner's name
And read this article from the Washington Times.
Just learned from Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft that BO's climate czar Carol Browner denies that the leaked emails in the "Climategate" scandal contain any information that indicate that the "science" is incorrect. She still believes that the "science is settled" according to an article in the Washington Times Wednesday, Nov 25th.
It seems that Ms. Browner is or was a board member of a carbon offset trading company by the name of APX. Do you think maybe there is just a smidge of conflict of interest there?

The UFC 154 middleweight bout between Nick Ring and Costa Philippou has been cancelled.
Ring and Philippou both made weight on Friday, but Ring fell ill and could not be ready for Saturday night's fight at the Bell Centre in Montreal, according to UFC officials. Philippou is expected to receive his show money, despite the cancellation.
The Ring vs. Philippou bout was slated for the pay-per-view main card, causing a shift in the preliminary bouts.
A lightweight bout between Marc Bocek and Rafael dos Anjos will now get the bump up from the FX preliminary broadcast up to the main card on pay-per-view.
Antonio Carvalho vs. Rodrigo Damm, a featherweight bout originally slated for the prelims streaming on Facebook, moves up to the FX preliminary bout broadcast, taking the place of Bocek vs. dos Anjos.
Stay tuned to MMAWeekly.com for all the latest UFC 154 news and fight coverage.
That sucks!!
Major bummer
what a weird choice to put Bocek on the main card, wtf??
Why not Cote/Sakara? Sakara is a walking highlight machine, win or lose.
Bocek gets the main card with 4 decisions in his last 5 fight just because he is canadian… that is lame. Cote is Canadian and a former title challenger, makes way more sense.
Well, since Cote and Sakara don't even belong in the UFC, why would they be on the main card. Seriously, Cote's carrer highlight real is putting up 3 fingers when he made it to the 3rd round against Anderson Silva, and that is just because Silva decided to not throw any strikes that fight. Cote's last UFC win, 2008. Sakara is just as bad.
This is disappointing….perhaps we will see them fight next card
This sucks Costa is awesome and becoming better every time. This win could have been a nice win for him.

Earplugs can be a vital item for protecting against noise induced hearing loss when regularly using heavy machinery for work. However, it's not just heavy machinery that can be damaging to hearing, whether it's working around blasts in law enforcement or around loud music in the entertainment industry. Cordless earplugs allow for protection against hearing loss without the hindrance that can come from a sagging cord. Whether you're trying to keep the earplugs hidden or just looking for a care-free design, take advantage of some cordless earplugs with a more contoured shape.
The following are some cordless earplugs with contouring features:
3m 318-1008 Ear Plugs 30db w/o Cord univ pk200 1vjy3 has a base cone shape with a more tapered form. The ribbing feature allows for a more contoured shape in the ear canal and the blue stem allows for a more hygienic method of inserting and removing.
3m 321-2100 Ear Plugs 25db w/o Cord univ pk100 3ax81 has a mushroom style head that is easily inserted and contoured to the ear canal. The blue stem has a thin design that broadens for a handle-like accent for ease-in-use.
3m 340-4001 Ear Plugs 25db w/o Cord univ pr 4t150 has a three tier ribbing accent on the cone head with an attached stem. The yellow plug accents the bright blue cord.
3m 340-8001 Ear Plugs 27db w/o Cord univ pk100 1mce1 has a yellow flanged plug and a noise reduction rating NRR of 27dB. The stem eliminates hand to ear contact for a more hygienic use and the slanted stem feature offers in use.
3M 318-1002 Ear Plugs Uncorded PU 28dB PK 200 has a dome shape set in a yellow polyurethane material. The noise reduction rating is 28dB and it is a bulk product sold with 200 in each box. The average retail price for this product is around $70.

The little-known top 12 games for iPhone
Attention to this list drawn up by the people of Techradar with some of the best unknown games for iPhone (or iPod Touch). They are games of payment, but in some the price is very small, so it's worth taking a look at. Who knows what gems we may be losing.
Bank Panic: A tribute to the classic Nintendo Game & Watch. Our mission is to save the bankers that he jumped from the crisis. All can make a play.
Blue Defense: This is a shooter in the purest style of TAITO Space Invaders. The trick is that to control the direction of our fire must tilt the iPhone.
Bounce On: A platform game in which we operate by taking advantage of the motion detection Apple terminal.
Critter Crunch: Critter Crunch is a puzzle game in which our goal is to make eating monsters or other monsters over. Something like an update of the famous Columns.
Dr. Awesome: For physicians frustrated. The goal of Dr. Awesome is to operate our friends and contacts using the movements of the terminal.
Electrogravitron: Another game that uses motion detection of the iPhone in its mechanics. In this case the goal is to get blue balls from entering a particular area of the screen.
Elissa: In this game the goal is to destroy and planets combine to scroll through each level.
Flyloop: In Flyloop have to draw circles around butterflies display the same color to combine them until we have only one of each type.
Giant Metal Robot: We have a giant robot, a girl and her pet. On the roof of a building and skeletons are attacking them. Our goal is to use the giant robot to smash the skeletons without killing the girl. Simple and silly, but apparently a lot of fun.
iPolygon: Another game in which the accelerometer takes center stage. Here we have to tilt and rotate the terminal to form various polygons at each level.
Pinball Fantasies: A pinball, not much more to explain. We've all played one once and always fun.
Westbang: One of those shooters that our reflexes are key. We are within a bank and we have to shoot the outlaws who come to steal it. However, be careful to not shoot at the citizens who are making it into their savings.

Don't judge me……. my taste is becoming more bizarre by the day, I'm fully aware of this, but to be fair….. I blame it on my clients :) I mean just this week I've been dealing with palm wallpapers, flamingos, taxidermy bears, huge paper horse sculptures, all manner of vintage Italian wall lights and chandeliers and so much more. Talking to Paris, NY, Montana (random right?) Milan and even Australia, so it's no wonder it takes a lot to pique my interest these days. Anyway…..I'm loving the palm wallpaper in this image and the chevron stripe on the bath tub. It's cosy eclectic :)

Feature Articles: Food, Fitness and Children
Everyone benefits from family meals
Tammy Roberts, MS, RD, LD, Nutrition and Health Education Specialist, Barton County, University of Missouri Extension
One of the best pieces of advice we can offer families these days is to make sure you eat together as a family most nights of the week. Eating together as a family provides a variety of positive benefits for all family members.
Parents want the very best for their children. Parents who regularly
eat with their children can rest assured that they will help their
children develop lifelong healthful eating habits.
According to the American Dietetic Association's fact sheet Making the Most of Family Mealtime, children who regularly eat meals with their family eat more fruits and vegetables and less fried food, saturated fat, and soda than children who do not. They also have higher intake of calcium, iron, fiber and vitamins. All of these nutrients are important for the growth and development of children.
A University of Illinois study of 7-11 year old children found that children who did well in school and on achievement tests regularly ate meals with their families. A study conducted at Harvard's Graduate School of Education found that young children who regularly participated in family meals had increased vocabulary. Increased vocabulary helps with reading skills.
The members of the family that often miss meals are the members that reap some of the most profound benefits. The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University found that teens who eat dinner with their parents six or seven times per week are less likely to smoke cigarettes or marijuana and are less likely to consume alcohol. They are also less likely to have sex, get into fights and have thoughts of suicide. A study at the University of Minnesota found that girls who participate regularly in family meals are less likely to develop eating disorders.
How do you make family meals happen with the busy lifestyle of your family? One important thing to do is plan ahead for family meals. Cook extra food on the weekend or whenever you get a little bit of extra time. Make an extra casserole and freeze it for a quick meal later. Try to do some of the meal tasks ahead of time. You can cut up fruits or vegetables in the morning or the night before to save that step later. You can also cook pasta or taco meat ahead of time and then warm quickly later.
Remember that meals don't have to be complicated. Keep it simple! Some quick-to-fix ideas from USDA's Nibbles For Health include adding canned or frozen vegetables to tomato or chicken soup for a quick main dish. Mix chopped lean ham or deli meat and cooked vegetables with macaroni and cheese. Or, serve chili over a baked potato or rice as a main course. Remember to involve your children in the preparation process. Children who help prepare the meal are much more likely to consume it.

Improving the New Jersey Transit system is no easy feat. Over half-a-million people use NJ Transit every day and the company employs 11,000 people. Now, new NJT Executive Director Ronnie Hakim vows to make the necessary changes and she has already done more in the last four months than her predecessors ever have.
In fact, just yesterday Hakim met with a group of commuters who call themselves the Lackawanna Coalition and who care about improving the rail-system. During that meeting she addressed the ongoing concerns and discussed the latest Twitter movement that has helped aid in the dialogue between fellow commuters and NJT employees.
One of the issues that commuters are concerned with involve "quiet commuter cars", commuters don't know if they should be enforcing the quiet-zone themselves or if that is the conductor's responsibility.
"This is tomorrow PM rush-hour platform announcements: 'The first car of all trains arriving at Hoboken and the last car of every train departing Hoboken will be designated as quiet cars'," Hakim said.
Another issue that Hakim addressed was congestion on the trains and buses and she is encouraging people to try using the available ferry system.
"People think it's funny that I talk about ferries because they're run by private operators, but the reality is when you talk about people who are interested in commuting in and out of Manhattan, ferries is where there is capacity today," she explained.
Lackawanna Commission Technical Director Joe Clift said that Hakim is stepping up to the plate and really addressing everyone's concerns.
"She is doing a very good job of listening and she has taken some of the low hanging fruit issues and taken advantage and actually moved them forward like the quiet cars," he said.

Veiling Oakland: city surveillance, and how the East Bay fights back, for The Brooklyn Quarterly
Do you remember the crushing feeling? In editorial meetings; when everyone runs out of ideas. It's like the building is slowly imploding around you, and everyone's nervously looking around for answers. It's my understanding that this happens to even the best of editorial staffs, but when I was starting out I was pretty sure it was completely my fault. No one ever taught me how to pitch, and like most people, I was not initially good at it. I only learned after I left the newsroom, and suddenly had to pitch in order to pay my rent. When it becomes dire like that, the premium on ideas is lower, you realize that whatever pitch you lob, whether it's a great or terrible idea, will not define you, or make/break your career. Writers are successful more often for being consistently honest rather than for always "nailing" the story and managing perceptions. It's incredibly encouraging to see luminary writers and editors like Ann, Alexis, and others talk about transparency for writer. Most of what they're prescribing, though, is from an editor's perspective. Editors are haplessly busy people with a million things on their minds, and often teaching young writers to present themselves is pretty far down their to-do lists. Writers, on the other hand, tend to have a little more flexibility day-to-day, and that, I think, is where we lag in this transparency conversation. Writers need to check their competitiveness and be open with each other. It took me years to teach myself what someone could have sat down and told me in an hour or two — and thats not for lack of reaching out to people. Having an established writer thoughtfully, carefully lay out how to pitch, how to present yourself, and what not to do is an invaluable experience for a new writer, and, truly can be done in the span of a brief afternoon. This is why I am such a big fan of what's happening over at Scratch Magazine / Who Pays Writers, along with a few discreet other resources for writers to share information and subtle, nuanced career advice that's not already publicly available. I hope that every writer, no matter how old or young, bears in mind the crippling feeling of not knowing how to present your ideas, and stops now and then to share your experience, support one another, and instill confidence in those who need it. We can only all benefit.
Anonymous said: Hi, Will. Just wanted to write in appreciation of your NY Times piece. I'm the father of an 8 year old girl who has been blind from birth. Despite having arrived at the 'destination' of blindness from the start, she is rejecting her white cane more and more as she becomes more aware of how it identifies her as blind. Hoping she'll find peace with it eventually, but it's been a real struggle lately. Your piece helps me understand she's not the only one who confronts these feelings. Thx - Cebra
That is tough. I'm crestfallen to hear that a child who has grown up using a cane is being socialized out of it. It's almost disheartening — not the behavior of your daughter, but the behavior of people around her. As kids become aware of the concept of comparison, they act awfully toward each other. Adults too, but much less so.
She needs to do whatever's best for her though. You can educate her and inspire her, but you can't make her do anything, even at that age. Also, I wouldn't underestimate the importance of having a good social life as a child. She is rejecting the cane right now because she wants to know what her life would be like without it. She doesn't know how much more difficult it is. I know middle-aged men, people of every age for that matter, who are in the same mindset as her. The only difference is she's been raised with it, so she naturally takes the cane's usefulness for granted. But the grass is brown on the other side; I hope it doesn't take her long to realize it. If she's really responsible and needs more social opportunities, it may be well worth looking into a dog!
Wishing you the best
I wrote the Lives column this weekend for the New York Times Magazine. It's probably one of the more complete pieces I've put down about the struggle to accept vulnerabilities, and the dangers of self-denial.

Anonymous said: Hi Will, I am nineteen years old and last year I was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease that has caused me to lose my central vision. I've always wanted to be a Journalist but now it just feels like a hopeless dream. I started my first year at university and had to withdraw which felt like I had been delivered one big blow to the stomach and a nice bloody kick to the teeth. But anyway, I have gotten over the initial gestation period, if you'll allow me to call it that. And now I'm just look
— without the full question I'm afraid I can't be of much help as I'd like. Please feel free to repost. But I want to respond, because it's actually fascinating that you call [presumably, the time you took off from school] a "gestation period."
The halting, harrowing times of recovery can completely reshape you. I've lived through several of them. You feel cut off from the world, because you are. And it must seem impossible to believe from where you're standing right now, but these are actually the times where the creative sparks start to fly. Even if you're just lying on your stomach in your room, listening to podcasts, or just thinking about stuff — some of your best ideas will come from this time. We have so many resources at our disposal today, that most of us don't remember how to collect our thoughts in a productive way. These timeouts will give you practice.
I will tell you that I also became legally blind at age 19. Since then I have not been able to pick up a book, magazine, or newspaper and just read it. At the time, I was also in my first year of college, and had no journalistic aspirations — so you're already ahead of me there. And you know what? That was exactly five years ago — to the day, almost — so, much as I like to not get anyone's hopes up, I have no grounds to discourage you from giving it a shot.
That's a longwinded answer but just don't lose hope. Go back to school and finish what you started; It's undeniably possible and it feels good, to boot. Listen to people who are older and wiser than you. Trust that your ideas are good, and if they turn out not to be, figure out why, immediately. And don't complain to people, because the more you do the more it becomes true. Cheers.
Anonymous said: Hi Will, I loved your piece on google glass...have you heard about the Orca device for seeing when your bus arrives, figuring out which bills are in your wallet and checking out labels in the grocery store? I just saw a quick video about it on YouTube. It seems like it is produced abroad. Best regards, gail
Without knowing that much about devices like Orca — I've seen the promo videos and that's about it — my main concerns involve clunkiness. I know it's designed, aesthetically, to be unobtrusive, but often times these devices' capabilities are clunky. They are programmed to do a number of tasks, and offer little in the way of upgradability. I'm not even necessarily talking about open source technology, though it's undeniable that, the more open technology like Glass is to developers, the more people it can benefit. I'd be curious to give something like this a spin, though I know there is a learning curve with lots of AT like this and it can be time consuming to get the hang of a new implement..

If your out & about this weekend, make sure to stop by the Portland Fruit Beer Fest, to try two of our offerings. 1: Our Lemongrass Ginger, and 2: another amazing collaboration with our friends at Upright Brewing. This year, we did a Upright Black Currant Six/ Bushwhacker Rose Hip Cider blend, then stuck it in a Big Bottom Whiskey barrel for a bit.

text: The West Coast Fighting Championships return to Sacramento's Jackson Sports Arena at McClellan Park on Friday, January 18. Local fighters Dave "Badman" Huckaba and Max "Pain" Griffin headline the fight card. Training at Marinoble's Martial Arts gym in Roseville - where pro fighter Uriah Faber once trained, I sat down with Max Griffin for an interview. Griffin is known for his appearance on Dana White's The Ultimate Fighter TV show on FX. Nicknamed Max Pain, Griffin is 27 years old. He was born in Santa Barbara, California, but calls Sacramento home. With an amateur record of 22-1, and a professional record of 4-1, the 5'11", 170 lb. welterweight has a trove of sponsors and is confident he can successfully step up to the UFC soon. AA: What is your favorite pre-fight ritual? MG: I go to Denny's in the morning and have a Grand Slam breakfast. Then I go home and relax all day. I don't think about the fight. I just keep my headphones on. AA: What songs or artists pump you up the most? MG: Reggae. I like listening to reggae. I also like the music they played at Mandalay Bay in Vegas when I fought there, the UFC theme song, "Face the Pain." I listen for about 20 minutes before the fight, and then it's go time. AA: Do you have any favorite […]Continue reading

Hot or Not? Re-purposed Clothes Hanger Chandelier
10 Comments
I'd want to hang something on the hooks. Wouldn't you?
yes i'm tempted to hang something off them too
This would make an awesome fixture for a walk in closet with a high ceiling! I love it. Playful and pretty.
Maybe take the hooks out?
I like the shape the hanger profiles make grouped together like this, but I think the fixture would be much more sculptural and elegant without the hooks.
i love the walk-in closet idea!!!
I like this, but not as much as the wire version from Korea's 101 Design -- shown last year at the Tokyo Design Week, where the hooks are oriented to the inside.
On this lamp however, I don't really mind the hooks because they clarify the origins of material, which to me is part of the appeal.
I like it. It makes me giggle.
I could definitely get behind it if the hooks were removed. As is, it kinda reminds me of some weird torture device.
i want to hang something on the hooks too...maybe scarves if it's in a walk in closet?
