What to Look for in an Instant Oatmeal
Written on January 4, 2012 at 8:30 am , by Diets in Review
By Kati Mora, RD for DietsInReview.com
It's undeniable that oatmeal is one of the healthiest breakfast option. However, not all oatmeal varieties share the same nutritional benefits. Of all the varieties, instant oatmeal probably takes the hardest hit since many are either loaded with sugar or fail to incorporate whole grains. Nevertheless, instant oatmeal can be a wonderful addition to your day if you know what to look for when choosing your brand at the grocery store.
Look for whole grains.
The first ingredient you find on your nutritional label should be a whole grain. Look for terms like "oats," "instant oats," or "whole grain rolled oats" to be listed as the first ingredient. This ensures that you will receive the same heart health benefits from your favorite instant oatmeal that you would from regular or quick-cooking oatmeal.
Look for fiber.
Choosing an instant oatmeal variety with at least 3 grams of fiber can also be beneficial. The fiber will help you feel fuller longer because of slower digestion time. This is important because instant oatmeal has been processed to cook more quickly and usually digests more quickly in the body. By slowing down the rate in which your body breaks down the oatmeal, the more likely blood sugars will remain stabilized. Bonus tip: Adding a little lean protein or healthy fat to this meal can also help slow digestion and keep blood sugar levels more even (try a few almonds on top).
Look (out) for sugar.
The amount of added sugar we see in some flavored varieties of instant oatmeal is where we start to see the dark side of instant hot cereal. Six grams or less is ideal, but you may be hard pressed to find something under this amount in a flavored variety. Instead, choose an unsweetened or original flavor and add your own fruit, honey or cinnamon to the mix.
Look (out) for sodium.
Although it may seem slightly out of place, most instant hot cereals add sodium for flavor and preservative purposes. Try to choose a cereal with less than 200 milligrams of sodium per serving.
In reality, instant oatmeal and regular oatmeal are quite similar nutritionally. The only main difference is how fast they are absorbed and digested by the body. Of course, added sugar and sodium has the potential to make instant oatmeal a less nutritious choice than the traditional; however, by sticking to plain or original flavors, incorporating instant oatmeal into your day can be a great way to eat well and stay full.
Looking for a few instant oatmeals that meet our nutrition criteria? Check out these three top picks:
- Quaker Instant Oatmeal – Original Oatmeal – 100 cals, 2 grams of fat, 0 grams of sugar, 75 mg of sodium, and 3 grams of fiber per serving
- Walmart's Great Value – Original Oatmeal – 100 calories, 2 grams of fat, 0 grams of sugar, 80 mg of sodium, and 3 grams of fiber per serving
- Nature's Path Organic – Original Oatmeal: 210 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of sugar, 160 mg of sodium, and 6 grams of fiber per serving

Dumb boy - the telephone
Dear dumb boy, If you say you're going to call me, call me. I'm not mad that you didn't call, I'm mad that you SAID you would call and didn't. There's a difference.
We've gone on a few dates, you're clearly an avid texter, which is a fine form of communication…but you didn't say "I'll text you later." You said you'd call. It's not a bfd if you text over calling. I prefer a phone call, but I'm fine texting. You said you'd call and then you didn't.
Just pick up the phone and no one gets hurt.

Have you ever wondered what exactly your veterinarian is talking about when she gives you directions for medication or explains your pet's condition? Veterinary jargon can be confusing to pet owners, especially when you're already worried about your dog or cat.
Sometimes we veterinarians forget that not everyone knows "vetspeak," the abbreviations and terms that we use for short in lab tests, prescriptions and normal, everyday conversations — or as normal as you can get when talking about kidney disease or trauma. Here's a brief lexicon of some of the most common terms you might hear or see in the clinic, on lab reports or on medication containers.
ADR: This abbreviation stands for "ain't doin' right," a not-so-technical phrase we like to use to describe a pet who has vague symptoms that haven't yet solidified into a diagnosis. Maybe his appetite is a little off or he just doesn't seem like his usual self. When owners come in with this type of problem, we know it's a good idea to dig a little deeper because even minor changes can indicate the beginning of a more serious problem.
BID: These Latin words — bis in die — are used with prescriptions and mean that the medication should be given twice daily. You might also see TID (three times daily) or QID (four times daily).
BUN: The blood urea nitrogen test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your pet's blood, which helps us know how well the kidneys and liver are performing. Levels that are higher than normal can indicate a problem.
CBC: A complete blood count is a test that tells us a lot about what's going on in your pet's body, including the following:
The information we get from a CBC can help us determine whether your pet may be suffering from an infection, anemia or some types of cancer.
Dx: Most of us are familiar with the abbreviation Rx, for prescriptions, which is thought to come from the Latin "recipere," or recipe. Dx has come to be an abbreviation for diagnosis. You might also encounter Tx (treatment or therapy) and Sx (surgery or symptom).
HBC: Short for "hit by car."
IgA: Immunoglobulin A is a type of antibody that protects the skin, respiratory tract, digestive tract, and some parts of the reproductive and urinary systems from bacterial, fungal and viral invaders. Low levels of IgA can predispose pets to allergies or infections.
O.S.: Here's another Latin lesson — this abbreviation stands for oculus sinister, or left eye. The term O.D. stands for oculus dexter, or right eye.
SSRI: This abbreviation stands for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. This class of drugs may be prescribed for pets with general anxiety problems.
Isn't language fascinating? I hope you've learned some new terms today that will be helpful at your next veterinary visit.

SANTA FE, New Mexico (Reuters) - Thousands of New Mexicans and others across the Southwest were left huddling against bitter cold on Thursday after supplies of natural gas were cut off to their communities.
Frigid weather throughout the region knocked out natural gas production equal to nearly 5 percent of daily nationwide demand as wells froze and plunging temperatures caused problems for processing plants.
The crunch was exacerbated by unusually high heating demands. Production at the wellhead was shut off at facilities across Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez declared a state of emergency and called on residents to lower thermostats, pile on warm clothing and forgo the use of unnecessary appliances for the next 24 hours to conserve energy.
Emergency shelters were in operation around the state, and nonessential state workers were sent home. Many schools dismissed students early.
The New Mexico Gas Co. said high demand prompted by the extreme cold -- single digits in many areas -- coupled with power outages in neighboring Texas were to blame.
"States across the Southwest are experiencing similar situations. Our pipeline system is intact, and our crews are working to minimize the impact of this temporary situation," the utility said in a statement.
Supplies were cut in New Mexico communities from Tularosa in the south to Taos in the north, including parts of Albuquerque and numerous Native American pueblos, disrupting service to more than 25,000 customers overall, the gas company said. As of midday, the capital city of Santa Fe had not been affected.
However, residents there and in other communities awoke to frozen water pipes.
In Arizona, natural gas service was cut to some 14,000 homes and businesses in the Rita Ranch and eastern foothills areas of Tucson due to the cold weather, the Southwest Gas company said.
There were no estimates as to when full service might be restored.

More reviews by Sunnydelite62901
This product is great creamy and a nice scent. I didn't like this conditioner at first, but then I just came to love it. I have oily fine hair that tangles very easily, So I don't use it on my roots everywhere else it's great and helps comb out the tangles. A keeper.
More reviews by combatmedicwife
Great product! What's not to like? The ingredients are all Ethically traded and sustainably produced. Has been fair trade for 100 years. Never tested on animals and it sulfate-free and color safe. No parabens, no phthalates, no paraffin, no gluten, no propylene glycol, no mineral oil, no synthetic fragrances, no PABA, no synthetic colorings, no DEA, no animal ingredients, and no sulfates.
This product is touted as being leave-in OR rinse out, but since I have an oilier scalp I haven't used it as a leave-in.
Scent is subjective. The smell isn't bad to me at all, smells a bit like honeysuckle, very natural smelling because all the ingredients are natural. This stuff seems to absorb quickly into my hair. Provides good slip. I've been using Shea Moisture products exclusively now for almost a year (in conjunction with not using any more chemical treatments) and I have NEVER used a single hair product of any kind for this long- I'm always on the lookout for the 'next best thing' but for me (perpetual over-achiever and ingredient snob), this is it. And I can definitely say there is a significant improvement with my hair's strength. I DON'T LOSE HALF AS MUCH HAIR A DAY as I did when I used more 'commercial' products. My hair is also shinier, fuller, and bouncier. I haven't found anything else that compares to this stuff. I will concede that the pump is an annoying feature when you're trying to get the last bit. As far as price goes, $9.99 for 12 oz is a flippin' steal for the quality of the ingredients. You can pay triple this price for a bottle of salon garbage that is loaded with smell-good, smothering, synthetic ingredients. I'd gladly pay double and believe it was a fair trade.
Ingredients: Deionized water, certified organic shea butter, argan oil, coconut oil, behentrimonium chloride (a type of salt used as a preservative), essential oil blend, vegetable glycerin, emulsifying wax, sea kelp extract, vitamin B-5, avocado oil, honeycuckle flower and japanese honeysuckle flower extract, vitamin E, Carrot seed oil.

The smell: horrid. The moisture: mediocre. The bottle: annoying, especially when you get down to the last little bit and have to take the pump off to get any. It's got great ingredients and isn't too different from the deep treatment masque but for some reason my hair just doesn't dig it as much as other things. Oh, well.
I bought this product as part of the boxed Repair and Transition kit. First I tried this as a rinse-out conditioner after using the shampoo. It left my hair so moisturized, but had no slip whatsoever. (I figured that, my hair loves cones to detangle and this has none) However, it works wonderfully as a leave-in conditioner. When I use this, my 4a hair smells so good and feels so soft. It even has more swing than it has with other moisturizers. I'm not entirely sure if I will repurchase because I have other moisturizers that work just as well and are cheaper than this.
I recommend this product to anyone who needs a shot of strengthening moisture in their hair regimen.
Edit 7/15/12: I have purchased the full-size bottle after running out of the trial size from the box kit. It's still treating my hair right. In my experience, once my hair is dry I can only smell the fragrance if I pull my hair to my nose. I've received several compliments from others about the smell. The Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus (salmon label) products have a lighter scent.
Update 8/15/2014: I've moved on to the Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie as my primary moisturizer/styling product, but I'll come back to this in a pinch.

GREAT GREAT GREAT product! I've been using this conditioner, the shampoo that goes with it, the curl & style milk, and the reconstructive elixir for about a year now...... And my 3c curly/kinky hair has done a complete 180! I use to use whatever the salons recommended and a whole bunch of gel to style my hair (I found an argan oil mousse that's alcohol/sulfate free at CVS to replace the gel)......it was so dry and the gel would make it crunchy.....not cute..... I had no clue how to take care of my hair....i saw this line at target (and Walgreens) and let me tell u these products have changed my life. They are natural which is a huge deal cuz I'm switching everything over to natural products and they are effective! This conditioner leaves my hair soft and full of moisture, my curls are so pretty, I get so many compliments......and just $10! The only I guess con is I wish they came in bigger bottles......it lasts me about a month, depending on how often I wash (which is usually twice a week).......but I don't really mind cuz these products are IMO THE best for curly hair!!! Oh and this conditioner can double as a leave-in...how great is that for $10!!!

I loved the smell of this product, but it didn't do much for my hair. It made my hair feel kinda greasy and it was just sitting on top of it. I finished using it more for the good scent than anything else. I will not buy it again.
I love this conditioner. I find it really softens my hair and makes it easy to detangle. It doesn't really smell like anything, which I actually like, and the packaging is great -- gotta love that pump bottle! At $10, it's a little pricey for a conditioner you'd buy at a drugstore, but a single bottle lasts forever and a little goes a long way. I love that all-natural ingredient list, too. Bottom line, it's a great product. It does what a conditioner is supposed to do, and does it well.

i recently cut my hair and decided to try some organic shampoo and conditioner since i was going natural. i ran into this brand in target, $10 for 12fl oz.... this conditioner makes my hair curly when i apply it but immediately when i rinse it off, my hair is back to being dry. i haven't really noticed a change in my hair since i have being using it along with the shampoo. i am still going to finish the bottle and i doubt i will buy it again.
I love the matching shampoo alot but the conditioner is not as moisturizing as I thought it would be. It has a wonderful scent. It is better as a leave-in than a rinse out for me.
This is actually a better conditioner than the one that comes in a jar. It does have some mild detangling properties but I wouldn't bank on it if you have a snarl fest going on in your hair. It does leave you hair soft if you use it as a leave in conditioner. But in the summer, it is a bit too heavy for my hair or maybe I am being a bit heavy handed. Either way, my face is just looking like a Exxon Mobil oil spill memorial when I wear this. The scent is agreeable, which I can't say for the others. Which is weird since they are all in the same product line.
Here are the ingredients:
de-ionized water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea butter)*, Argan oil, coconut oil*, Behentrimonium chloride, essential oil blend, vegetable glycerin, emulsifying wax, sea kelp extract, Panthenol (vitamin B-5), avocado oil, Lonicera Caprifolium (honeysuckle) flower and Lonicera Japonica (Japanese honeysuckle) flower extract, Tocopherol (vitamin E) and Daucus Carota Sativa (carrot) seed oil.
Despite the "meh" reviews, I would repurchase this. It has it positives and the negatives is not that bad where I would take out an ad on a billboard encouraging others not to purchase this.

Flugtag ("flying day" in German) is a competition that challenges both the
brave and the brainy to design, build and pilot homemade flying machines off a
30-foot high ramp in hopes of achieving human-powered flight.
were over 30 teams from the Twin Cities area participating, 200 applicants, and
over 90,000 on lookers. It was a stunning afternoon to watch the team Major
Trouble and the Dirty Dixies take home the world record-breaking distance, 207
Trouble and the Dirty Dixies are new local hero's. The team consists of
employees from Jersey's Bar & Grill, a hangout in Inver Grove Heights, MN.
They set out on a mission to become champions and they more than succeeded. I

Scientific name: Argemone ochroleuca Sweet
Common name: Mexican poppy, prickly poppy
Family: Papaveraceae
Annual herb initially forming a rosette, then growing with upright stems to 1 m in height.
A weed of untended areas such as roadsides, railway lines, sandy stream beds and alluvial flats. Also found in recently cultivated paddocks.
General description:
Stems and leaves
The pithy stems are conspicuously bluish-green (glaucous) and upright. Leaves are initially arranged in a rosette and then are alternately arranged on upright stems that develop as the plant matures. The leaves are also very glaucous and are sometimes variegated in appearance. They are deeply divided (pinnatifid) with sharp prickles on the margins. Stems and leaves exude a yellowish sap when broken.
Flowers and fruits
The flower buds are oblong and 8-18 x 4 x 11 mm in size. Flowers are 3-7 cm across with six pale yellow or lemon petals. They have numerous stamens (20-75) and a purple stigma with spreading lobes exposing blue-green coloured surfaces between them. Flowering usually occurs during spring and summer. The fruit are capsules and are narrowly egg-shaped (ovoid) or ellipsoid (2-5 cm x 1-1.8 cm in size). They are spiny and may have some large recurved spines. The fruit split from the apex downward when mature. Seeds are black/brown, almost round (1.5 mm in diameter) and can be poisonous.
Distinguishing characteristics:
Annual herb developing a rosette of deeply-divided, blue-green (glaucous), leaves with sharply toothed and prickled margins. Later growing upright leafy stems which bear pale yellow six-petalled poppy flowers. There are two species with the common name of Mexican poppy. Argomone ochroleuca, which is much more common, can be differentiated from Argemone mexicana by:

Students at Spring-Ford Area High School were evacuated from the building late this afternoon after a fire alarm sounded.
The students were taken to the 8th Grade Center, according to a parent's post on Facebook.
The alarm was originally thought to be caused by a generator fire, according to fire and police scanner reports, but the issue was discovered to be with a transformer at the back of the school.
The transformer had blown and was leaking oil, according to Linfield Battalion Chief Rick Dunn.
"We had this one go, and then another one there [the 7th Grade Center] and then a couple more," Dunn said. "It was like there was an electrical bug jumping around."
The problem affected transformers surrounding all four schools in that area of Lewis Road.
As of 5:15pm, the situation at the high school was under control and students were being allowed back in a controlled manner to collect their belongings, Dunn said.

For the 2014 Christmas Season ....
Dirr Nurseries Christmas Tree Farm, located just east of Cincinnati, is offering our largest selection ever of both Cut-Your-Own, Ball & Burlap and Wholesale Christmas Trees. We open the day after Thanksgiving and are open 7 days a week until Christmas Eve. To find out more about our Christmas Trees, click on the species below:
The following Ball & Burlap & Cut-Your-Own Christmas Trees are available ...
As Always ....
Saws are provided to help your family harvest the perfect tree.
For your convenience we will shake (clean out the old needles) and bale (wrap) your tree; as well as secure it to your vehicle.
Also be sure to stop in, relax, grab a few cookies and some of Grandma's world famous hot cocoa.
On the way to the petting zoo to feed the animals stop by the life size nativity display to show the kids what Christmas is all about. They also make for great photo opportunities.
New this year! Snap a family picture on our full size Santa sleigh; designed and built right here on the farm.
We offer all these services free of charge as a gift from our family to yours.
Cut-your-own trees are $45.00 (including sales tax). We accept cash and checks only please.
White Pine
The Eastern White Pine makes an ideal Christmas Tree because they hold their needles well, even long after being harvested. They are also well suited for people with allergies, as they give little to no aroma. The White Pine is fun to decorate at Christmas with their long flowing green needles and soft branches.
This tree is native to the northeast. If you have ever cut a tree from Northern Michigan, New York, Vermont or Maine, then you may well have selected a white pine for your family tree.
The White Pine is available as:
"Cut-Your-Own" ; Up to 10 ft.
Live "Ball & Burlap"; Up to 8 ft.
Read More on the Eastern White Pine or if you are selecting a live tree ....
Canaan Fir
The Canaan Fir (pronounced ka-nane) is one of the best of the "Choose & Cut" Christmas Trees and has been the most popular selection for several years. The Canaan Fir is considered to be one of the best choices for freshness and needle retention, easily lasting from Thanksgiving through New Years.
The needles are short, soft, and rounded with a dark green topside and a silver accent underneath. The Canaan is a slightly tapered, but full tree. The branches are thick and sturdy, but still leave enough room to hang ornaments and lights closer to the center of the tree.
The Canaan Fir is available as: "Cut-Your-Own" - Up to 8 ft.
Balsam Fir
The scent of the Balsam Fir is considered by many to be the "smell of Christmas". As with all members of the Fir tree family, the Balsam Fir is a very fragrant tree. But the actual aroma of this tree is what makes it unique. When you walk into a room with a fresh cut Balsam Fir, you immediately think Christmas.
In addition to its great fragrance, the Balsam Fir is a very attractive tree. With a slightly tapered shape, the tree is full and has strong branches. The needles are medium length, and very soft. This makes the Balsam Fir a very easy tree to decorate! The Balsam Fir offers very good needle retention and makes a great Christmas tree.
The Balsam Fir is available as: "Cut-Your-Own" - Up to 8 ft.
Scotch Pine
A traditional favorite, and a great value. At some point, most of us have had a Scotch Pine in our home as our Christmas tree of choice. With a sturdy frame and full branches, this tree is great even when completely covered with ornaments and lights.
The Scotch Pine has 2 to 3 inch long stiff needles with 2 needles to a cluster. It holds needles better than most trees. The strong branches are ideal for hanging heavy ornaments. It has only a slight fragrance.
Not native to North America, the Scotch Pine is an import from Europe. It has been grown and used as a Christmas tree in the U.S. since the 1940's.
The Scotch Pine is available as: "Cut-Your-Own" - Up to 7 ft.
Norway Spruce
The Norway Spruce is a popular Christmas tree due to it's color, the branch strength, and symmetrical shape. The Norway Spruce has short needles, which are less than one inch in length. These needles are stiff and pointed and sharp to the touch. The color is a glossy dark green. Many people select spruce for the strength of its branches, as they comfortably support heavy ornaments.
The Norway Spruce is available as: "Cut Your Own" up to 6 ft
Live "Ball & Burlap" - 5 to 7 ft.
Choosing and planting a live tree on your landscape after the holidays is a pleasant way to savor the memory of the family excursion to Dirr's Tree Farm. We offer live White Pine and Norway Spruce Christmas trees suitable for planting.
- Consider the weight of the root ball to ensure it is manageable to plant after the holiday. Keep in mind the root ball adds one foot height to the tree, plus additional weight. A 5-foot dug tree will weigh about 100 pounds, a 6-foot tree weighs about 150 pounds, and a 7-foot tree will weigh about 200 pounds.
- Price per foot for a live ball & burlap tree will run approximately $14 per foot (measured above ground).
- Limit the amount of time the tree is kept inside to not more than 7 to 10 days, as the warmer temperatures cause the tree to lose its cold-hardiness. After the 7 to 10 day period, plant the tree outside as soon as possible.
- While the tree is inside the house, water it daily until it is planted.
Our experience indicates if the tree is handled in above manner the survival rate is close to 100%.

Delfina - Menu Changes?
- Frosty Melon Nov 8, 2006 10:16 PM
I have a reservation at Delfina in a few weeks and was casually checking out the menu online. Noticed some staples that have been offered since Day One missing. Notably: white bean salad with calamari or shrimp, roasted chicken entree, and the steak frites entree. Plus, one entree yesterday was $34...around 40-50% higher than their normal entree prices. When did this happen? I have no doubt I can still eat well but I was a little surprised.
re: Robert Lauriston
Point taken on the veal, and yes, I thought the other entree prices were quite reasonable. It was the missing mainstays that really got my attention.
re: oysterspearls
Chez Panisse updates their menu daily (that is, the Cafe is updated daily and the full week's downstairs menus are updated weekly). But you're right, it's very rare. I'm happy when a restaurant updates their menu once a week.
re: Morton the Mousse
chezpanisse.com updates the cafe menu erratically. For example, today it has last Friday's dinner menu.
oliveto.com updates its upstairs dinner menu daily.
eccolo.com updates all its menus daily.
re: Robert Lauriston
I know Oliveto's website says that they update their menu daily but the time I went the online menu was not correct.
re: rosie7477
Only the upstairs dinner and dessert menus are updated daily, usually around 5pm. The date is at the top of the dinner menu so you could tell if it's not current. It always has been when I've printed it out as an appetizer.
The breakfast, lunch, downstairs dinner, and dessert menus are all samples updated only once in a long while.
I was there 2-3 weeks ago when both the steak and chicken were on the menu. One interesting menu 'occurance' was a dish I was interested in was on the menu T-4, T-3, T-2, then pulled the day before. It was back on meal day (though they mis-identified the bitter green/red they used).
As to price, can't comment...my restaurant dollars go elsewhere.
re: SteveT
Delfina was excellent as usual last Friday. They had a special Tajarin, which is Piedmontese pasta, with White Truffles. Perfectly done and lovely, but the Pappardelle with Duck Sugo is still best dish there imho.
re: SteveT
Oh, poor Steve, forced to eat at Delfina again. (vbg)
I ate at Delfina a couple of nights ago, and indeed some of regular dishes were not on the menu for once. But they were having a special Emilia-Romagna menu with new dishes meant to pair with wines from that region. Looks like the chicken and the steak are back on tonight's menu, and the veal chop is gone. Most of the other regular menu items were available that night (Salt cod mantecato, Insalata del campo, Spaghetti with plum tomatoes, Tripe alla Fiorentina).
The white bean salad with grilled calamari or shrimp was not on our menu, and it's not back tonight either. That was only the second time I've eaten at Delfina when it wasn't on the menu at all, I wonder what that is about. If it's gone for good, it will be sorely missed.
re: long island cheese
The prices are in the menu, see the link in the opening post.
There have been lots of posts about Pizzeria Delfina:
Well at the last minute I was invited to join a group of 5 last night at Delfina. Happy to report the chicken and steak are back on the menu. I had the gem lettuce salad with gorgonzola and champagne vinaigrette and the slow roasted pork shoulder (the always consistently terrific fourth-listed entree). It was great as always; but for the first time the service seemed a little off. I've never dined there with a group larger than 3 but our meal started at 7:30 and lasted until 10:15. Big lag time between starters and mains. Not a big deal, but a first for me at Delfina.
I was visiting from out of town and went there on the recommendation of this board and LOVED the place. Much more of a neighborhood restaurant than you will find in N.Beach, Union Sq. etc.....everything from the bread (baked fresh next door at Tartine--a must visit as well) to their salads to their basic spaghetti with plum tomato sauce was outstanding. Very good selection of wines by the glass and the desserts were to die for (also from Tartine). Can't wait to go back when I visit again. Prices are very reasonable.
re: eating out
I've done it. There's a bar area but it's pretty tiny, perhaps three or four seats. I think your odds aren't too bad, but perhaps go early.
re: dunstable
There's always Pizzeria Delfina next door as a fallback.
And a hundred other restaurants within a few blocks.
re: eating out
The earlier you go, the more likely you'll snag a spot. There's also a counter overlooking the dining room. It's uncomfortable, but fun to watch the action.
I ate at the bar on a Thursday night +/- 7:30 PM with no problem...worst case, grab a glass of wine and wait 15 minutes or so for a seat to open...they also have solo seats along a railing that you could eat at in the main dining area where you could dine as well. I would prefer the bar, however, as you would not be looking over people.
Cool - thanks for the tips. I've only got one night in San Fran, and I'd wanted to go to this place the last time I was in town but hit Gary Danko instead (wish I could go back there, but don't have the budget). Sounds like it should work out, but are there other good dining options for 1 that I should consider? - I've already been to Zuni Cafe. Thanks! (I'm staying in Union Sq.)
re: eating out
If you liked Zuni and find Delfina appealing, you'd probably like Incanto. Very comfortable bar seating for solo diners.
re: eating out
Consider going to Perbacco. It's a much quicker cab ride, and the food is better. We were there last night:
The bar is comfy and large, too.
Do Delfina....more of a neighborhood restaurant and you can take a BART and be within walking distance....for a hipster (though not Yuppie) bar afterwards, you can check out nearby Medjool. It's an Arabic restaurant, but has a rooftop bar that--on a nice night--has a really nice view of downtown San Francisco.

Quincy firefighters say winter is a busy time for house fires, and because of the freezing weather it's harder for them to put fires out.
"The hardest part is how hard the cold is on the people fighting the fire, they get fatigued a lot easier," says Lieutenant Jason Steinkamp.
"Traction is huge, and with the snow and ice it does make a big problem getting things done," says firefighter Deon Baker.
Baker says when the temperatures drop - they have to keep an extra close eye on their trucks, the essential tool when it comes to battling fires. They have to make sure the water inside the truck and the pipes doesn't freeze. If that were to happen, some of the small hose lines or piping could freeze shut or break. Baker says - they take the necessary steps to keep that from happening.
"We can actually have the truck running and the pump re-circulating so it continually runs some water - if it's sitting for a long period of time, we'll actually put the hose line up and run some water out so we keep water moving inside of there," says Baker.
Baker says another issue they deal with is water. when it sprays on to the ground it can freeze into ice and become a slipping hazard.
"Firefighters walking in and out, people getting out of the house, things like that," he says.
And firefighters say sometimes it gets so cold that even their uniforms feel the impact.
"You're better to just let it freeze and ice over," says Steinkamp.

Season 8, Episode 14: Ring Up!
by Jordan, Solo, Ross • Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013 04:16 pm GMT -4 • Episode Discussion, Season 8 • 113 Comments
Another one from Solo!
Ok, so, I'm just gonna jump right into it this week.
What Was Good
So many great bits in this episode.
Another really solid ensemble piece, but with a good bit of focus on Ted for a change. I liked that Ted was doing a bit of screwing around (although not necessarily his specific approach). Once in a while, particularly when you're otherwise searching relentlessly for "the Mother" (so to speak), it's nice to just have some fun. Not necessarily to turn into a Barney type, but there's nothing wrong with cutting loose a bit.
It was nice to see Robin and Barney NOT dominate the episode. I think that at this point, with them planning a wedding and such, it would be very easy for them to totally overpower the season, but instead we're getting a really nice balance of all the characters.
Also, I'm delighted that they debunked the Carly Theory. Folks, I don't know what those of you who subscribed to this thought, but there was never any way it was Carly if she was an undergrad at NYU two years ago. At the absolute oldest, that'd make her 24 today, and Ted is 35. I'm sorry, but an 11 year gap is a BIG one to bridge. It can be done, but on this show…not really. It doesn't fit, and given the ages we're talking about (early 20s and mid 30s), it really wouldn't work. So I'm glad they finally laid that one to rest. Lastly, I have to say that some of the bits in this had me laughing out loud. I particularly liked the bit with Ted at the club surrounded by infants. That was priceless. I also loved when the guys sang "She's exaggerating to make a poooooooooooint!"
What Was Not So Good
First, I was disappointed at how Ted gave ground on the Star Wars issue. But that's a whole other debate to have. The big thing that I viewed as a missed opportunity here was the fact that the episode didn't end with Barney agreeing Robin doesn't have to always wear the ring. Why you ask? The Exploding Meatball Sub flash forward. That's one that's perplexed people for a while, prompting folks to presume Barney and Robin divorce and Robin and Ted get married after the Mother has a piece of Skylab fall on her or somesuch. It would've been nice to see that particular theory laid to rest as well. Oh well. You only get so much per episode.
General Discussion
I have to say that this is the most consistently "on" stretch of HIMYM that I've seen in several seasons. And I mean even from watching back-to-back episodes on DVD or streaming. These have just been some really solid episodes. I hope they can keep up this level of quality, although I fully expect we'll have a few duds come along in a bit. Hopefully, though, we're out of the doldrums and can go full steam ahead.
Second, again about the Carly thing. It was never gonna happen. How do I know? Because I've lived it. When you're in your early to mid 30s and you date a young 20-something, suddenly you realize that you are in no way shape or form a young 20-something anymore. Your attitudes about life are different, your pop culture touchstones are different, the things that really matter to you are different. In my experience, more than once, I've found myself in some dialogue with a younger 20-something I was dating, and end up saying to myself "Didn't I already do this stuff 8 years ago?" So yeah, I think this episode did an excellent job of showing WHY the Carly thing wouldn't work. Are there mature, not-at-all-annoyingly-hipsterrific 20-somethings out there? ABSOLUTELY. I don't mean to suggest otherwise. But they're a rare breed, in my experience.
On the subject of Ted, I started thinking about it this morning, and I think what we're seeing here is two things. First, Ted is "acting out" a bit as the last single and 5th wheel in the gang. Hence the stupid hat, wristband, etc. I also think that there may be a part of Ted that sort of wants to try doing it Barney's way for a bit. Not seriously, not to the point of lying to women to get laid, but he'll screw around some because it's sort of allowed Barney to nab Robin (or at least didn't stop him from it).
Mostly, though, I think it's the former and I'd bet that, although we're having some ha-ha-funny episodes right now, at some point down the road, someone's gonna sit Ted down and say "Dude…are you ok? You've been…not yourself for months now." Guessing as to the answer, I'd bet it'd be that, no it's not about him wanting to be with Robin, but rather that he wants to find his own version of happiness, and he's kind of despondent that he seems unable to do that while everyone around him seems to be settling down. That's a hard thing to deal with, which is why I think we're seeing Ted be an idiot right now.
Anyway, we didn't get plot development exactly in this episode, or at least not obvious plot development, but I think we got a glimpse into a side of Ted that's been missing for a bit, and it may have larger implications down the road. Here's hoping the winning streak continues next week!
So, thoughts? Opinions? Favorite one-liners? Reactions to the Carly Theory being completely debunked (although it was pretty close to that last week)? Have at it, people!

I love the state of feeling at peace within myself, with others….the serenity inside like the sea on a beautiful sunny day after a turbulent storm. I think it's normal to fluctuate emotionally I know this calmness isn't permanent but sometimes I wonder if it actually can be…
The over thinking of life is what causes the turbulence….where am I? Where should I be? What does he/she think? What am I going to do next? We consistently torment ourselves….but why? What does it all matter??? We can't control what happens in the next moment even if we planned every single second of our life, there are still bound to be a lieu of unexpected moments. Now I'm not saying to wing everything (like I do at times) lol….plan but don't obsess. Set goals and work really hard towards them. Also, prepare to surrender to the moments that belong in your life whether they are the ones you look forward to or the tough lessons that you don't realize at the moment you need. We learn from every experience and every single person that comes in our lives.
The most important things are
….what are you doing at this moment that will get you closer to your goal?
….what do YOU think & feel?
Realize that you are exactly where you should be and can only change the decisions you make at this current moment….not the ones you made yesterday or will make tomorrow.
That is what creates serenity within….
Love + Light

Who We Are
YTI provides professional instruction in the performing arts to Westchester County youth, with the support and participation of their parents, for the purpose of fostering in these young people discipline, confidence, critical thinking and pride in accomplishments, so that they can become positive contributors to the workplace and to society and proceed into the professional world of the arts, if they so choose.
In 1971, the Yonkers Community Action Program was asked to develop an after-school program that would help keep kids away from drugs and crime. James P. Hill, an employee of YCAP and professional musician, developed the School 12 Program, which began as a music workshop. Shortly after, Mr. Hill met Paul Kwame Johnson, then a theater major at Sarah Lawrence College. Mr. Johnson added his expertise to establish a new drama workshop in the School 12 program. In 1973, Hill and Johnson along with co-founder Turhan Von Brandon sought non-profit status for their program and renamed it Youth Theatre Interactions, Inc., a performing arts school providing instruction free of charge. As interest and funding grew, the program was expanded to include dance workshops, photography, training in lighting design, sound and stage management.

Mamie Duncan-Gibbs, Executive/Artistic
A Broadway professional with credits ranging from Jelly's Last Jam to Sweet Charity and Chicago, Duncan-Gibbs joined YTI in 2003 when co-founder Paul Kwame chose her as his successor. Intent on providing the best instruction for students, Duncan-Gibbs has since persuaded Broadway professionals such as Jimmy Tate (tap and vocal choir), Lynn Sterling (ballet), Regina Hood (modern dance) and Aixa Rosario Medina (Latin Dance) to share their experience with YTI students as they learn the art of dance, music and drama.
Since assuming the executive position, Duncan Gibbs has added to the organization's core curriculum. A firm believer that managing a career is as important as choosing one, Duncan-Gibbs, along with Administrative Director, Beverly Taylor, were the first to create and develop innovative workshops intended to prepare students to cope with the business decisions that confront anyone in any profession. And, there is a Theatre Dance course that focuses on audition preparation, staging and performance techniques, a complement to popular Hip Hop, African, Modern and Step Dance classes.
Mamie Duncan-Gibbs is a native of Springfield, Massachusetts where she first took classes under the direction of the famous jazz dance teacher, Frank Hatchett. She attended the Boston Conservatory of Music then moved to New York City for a chance at The Great White Way. While on Broadway, Mamie Duncan-Gibbs worked with some its brightest stars, including Gregory Hines, Bob Fosse, Liza Minnelli and Bebe Neuwirth. She is a proud member of Actors Equity Association, Screen Actors Guild, American Federation of Television & Radio Artists and The American Guild of Variety Artists. Ms. Duncan-Gibbs lives in Westchester with her musician husband Marvin Gibbs and their two children, Paula and Joseph.
Beverly A. Taylor, M.S.,
Administrative Director
Together with the Executive/Artistic Director, Beverly assists in the development and expansion of program offerings ensuring that YTI prepares its students for a career in the performing arts. An experienced higher education administrator, Ms. Taylor is particularly suited to developing a series of workshops designed to teach students how career management skills compliment and support their chosen craft.
Prior to joining YTI, Beverly Taylor was the Dean of Advisement & Student Records at Berkeley College, White Plains, NY Campus. She is the founder of Taylor Consulting, a firm specializing in program development, assessment, grant writing and specialized trainings. A dedicated civic leader, Beverly is President of the Board of Directors for the Council for an Institute of Technology, a Yonkers, New York community volunteer organization dedicated to bringing a 4-year institution of higher learning to Yonkers.
Beverly Taylor has been honored by a number of academic institutions. She is the recipient of a Certificate of Excellence for Outstanding Leadership from The National Institute of Health's Bridges to Baccalaureate Program; was presented the Recognition for Leadership, Support and Dedication to Students, Parents and Teachers Award from Yonkers Public Schools District and received the Appreciation for Outstanding Leadership and Support Award from New York City's Technical Career Institute (TCI). Ms. Taylor is listed in the Honor Edition of the Cambridge Registry of "Who's Who in America's Executives and Professionals."
Beverly Taylor received a BS in Business from Iona College, New Rochelle, New York, a MS in Educational Leadership from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio and earned post-graduate credits from Long Island University in counseling at-risk youth. She lives in Yonkers, New York with her husband, Albert Taylor and their two children, Tye and Derek.

Some days I become very despondent about blogging. At the moment I get about 300-500 spam posts per day and only about 150 readers. True, my search stats show that people find posts on some really important topics in data warehouse design, especially on getting high performance from Oracle data warehouses by using partitioning, materialized views and query re-write; others arrive here to read up on gelatine and pigs. So, some people must appreciate the content and quirky style
Working for a consultancy often puts limits the subjects I can feel that I can write about – I can't talk in detail about current projects, I can't mention customers by name and I must keep vendor briefings from our partners confidential. And a lot of my time is spent dealing with staff so, again, not to much I can share there. For example this week two days were spent on staff meetings (and 800km on the road to visit them) two days on designing a new data warehouse and the rest on a small technology refresh project. But the only thing that came out of this week that was technical and remotely interesting to potential readers was a corrupted listener.ora file, and believe me, it was not that interesting!
The other thing that has blocked the muse is the need to keep the garden tidy for tomorrow's (Sunday 1st July) open garden. If you are around my neck of the woods and you manage to avoid the expected rain then pop round and fork out a little money to view six gardens in my village (and the money goes to good causes)
Maybe, next week is a better week to write.

Senator calls cross-border program 'lax'
In his second letter to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood since May, the Senate transportation committee chairman expressed alarm over the U.S.-Mexico cross-border trucking pilot program.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller's letter referred to "the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's lax oversight" of the program.
FMCSA was unavailable for comment.
The West Virginia Democrat said he was concerned about the first two Mexican carriers to pass pre-authorization safety audits, which the agency conducts on Mexican carrier applicants to verify program compliance.
The agency granted "permanent operating authority" to Transportes Olympic, based on its time in the previous FMCSA cross-border program and using the carrier's "nearly three-year-old compliance review," wrote Rockefeller, who heads the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation committee.
He also noted that Grupo Behr De Baja had cleared its PASA, though agency officials delayed granting authority so they could further investigate claims made by various organizations about that carrier.
Rockefeller has argued the program would threaten competitiveness of U.S. trucking firms, transfer the cost of safety upgrades on Mexican trucking fleets to Americans and fail to eliminate all of Mexico's retaliatory actions.
After Congress voted to end the previous FMCSA cross-border program in 2009, Canacar, Mexico's trucking trade association, filed a notice of arbitration against the United States. "If the U.S. complies with its NAFTA obligations, it would open up a huge market for Mexican carriers to utilize their competitive advantage," Canacar's notice stated.
