To mark the 20th anniversary of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, here are some of the key numbers that define the series.
Cult teen show Buffy The Vampire Slayer celebrates its 20th anniversary today.
The US series first aired on March 10 1997 before running for seven seasons and is still hailed as a pioneer in championing a strong female lead, particularly for its target demographic.
The genre-crossing programme followed high school student Buffy Summers, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, as she tried to balance her life fighting vampires and demons with the more everyday teen troubles of heartbreak and friendships.
Buffy flipped the stereotypical female character in a horror story on its head, putting the protagonist's quest to destroy evil in her home town of Sunnydale as the main story arc.
The Joss Whedon-created series went on to influence several other shows, such as Veronica Mars, Grimm and the revived version of Doctor Who.
:: 129 awards nominations and 52 wins.
Sarah Michelle Gellar was nominated for a Golden Globe for best actress in a drama series in 2001, but lost out to Sela Ward for divorce romance series Once And Again.
Key numbers:
:: Seven series made between 1997 and 2003.
:: 144 episodes, including an unaired pilot episode - and only seven of them do not feature a vampire.
Gellar and Alyson Hannigan are the only cast members to appear in every broadcast episode.
:: 18 actors appear as the same character in both Buffy The Vampire Slayer and spin-off series Angel.
:: 18 - 50 is the range of possible visual effects shots in an average episode, according to the show's visual effects supervisor Loni Peristere.
:: 16-year-old Mercedes McNab, who played Harmony, was the only main cast member to actually be a teenager while filming, despite the series being set in a high school.
:: 43 churches in the fictional town of Sunnydale where the show is set.

More on Obama and Honest Tea
As noted here previously, Barack Obama is a fan of Honest Tea, most notably the Black Forest Berry flavor. Which wouldn't be worth mentioning again if not for the fact that McCain's people have brought it up. Apparently a taste for organic tea-based beverages might be an indicator of some sort of character flaw. Well, better that the sordid truth come out now than later. For more, look here and here.
Also mentioned previously at TGS, a product known as Red Espresso. This is a rooibos-based product formulated to be made in an espresso machine. David Kiley at BusinessWeek presented an in-depth review of the product recently, concluding that it's no substitute for coffee-based espresso, but isn't so bad overall.

Red Sox target John Farrell to replace Bobby Valentine
The Boston Red Sox have targeted Toronto Blue Jays manager John Farrell to replace Bobby Valentine, who was fired Thursday morning,
according to a high-ranking Red Sox official who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on
condition of anonymity because the job search is
Valentine was fired after the Red Sox's worst season in nearly 50 years, going 69-93, and finishing in last place in the AL East. "Our 2012 season was disappointing for many reasons," Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said in a written statement. "No single issue is the reason, and no single individual is to blame."
Valentine, who signed a two-year, $5 million contract to replace Terry Francona, blamed some of his woes on his coaching staff Wednesday, believing they undermined him.
"I had just a feeling, I don't have any facts,'' Valentine told reporters Wednesday, "just a feeling once in a while that we weren't all on the same page.''
Cherington told reporters: "He expressed his feeling and that's his feeling. If he feels that way, I'm sorry he feels that way. I don't want to comment on it because I don't know any examples of what would lead to that kind of feeling, but that's his feeling.
"I'm not in his office all the time. I'm not in the clubhouse all the time, so I don't know what exactly he was referring to. But he has a right to his opinion and he expressed it. If he feels that way, then I feel bad because I don't want any manager feeling that way."
Valentine also had a strained relationship with some of his players, criticizing infielder Kevin Youkilis, saying he wasn't as "physically or emotionally into the game,'' as in the past, with second baseman Dustin Pedroia snapping back.
"That's not how we go about our stuff here,'' he said.
Cherington conceded to reporters that Valentine had difficulty communicating with the Red Sox players.
"I think Bobby said there were things he wished he could have done better,'' Cherington said. "As a manager, his job is to deliver results. As a GM, my job is to deliver results and develop a roster that wins games. Together we didn't get it done."
Farrell was the Red Sox pitching coach from 2007 to 2010, guiding a World Series-winning staff in his first year on the job. He has one year remaining on his contract with the Blue Jays and would require compensation to join the Red Sox.
Valentine, meanwhile, will collect the $2.5 million remaining on his contract.
"I understand this decision," Valentine said in a statement. "This year in Boston has been an incredible experience for me, but I am as interested in the results as are ownership and the great fans of Red Sox Nation.
"It was a privilege to be part of the 100 year anniversary of Fenway Park and an honor to be in uniform with such great players and coaches. My best to the organization. I'm sure next year will be a turnaround year."

Gary Neal, everyone's favorite 26-year-old rookie/former Turkish basketball star/mystery man, was naturally the one to rescue the Spurs' season with this buzzer-beating three-pointer over O.J. Mayo on Wednesday night.
As he tends to do, Gregg Popovich expertly managed the clock in the final minute, and his Spurs — despite one bobbling possession — managed to create the space for the shots they needed when it mattered. Manu Ginobili's falling shot only counted for two, and so the unlikely rookie (if only for his roundabout journey to the NBA; you'll hear from this abysmal announcing job that Neal actually leads league rookies in three-point percentage this year) stepped up for the Spurs.
They went on to win in overtime, 110-103. The Grizzlies lead the series 3-2 and will try to take home the franchise's first ever postseason series on Friday night in Memphis. And even if they do, Gary Neal will still get his book deal.

Friction Factor calculates if a fair market is being made in the shares of DMHI. 47% of the previous 38 trading days have been positive or bullish-biased and 53% have been negative or bearish-biased.
Regulation SHO requires bona-fide market-making activities to include making purchases and sales in roughly comparable amounts. The Commission has stated that bona-fide market-making DOES NOT include activity that is related to speculative selling strategies or investment purposes of the broker-dealer and is disproportionate to the usual market making patterns or practices of the broker-dealer in that security. Likewise, where a market-maker posts continually at or near the best offer, but does not also post at or near the best bid, the market-maker's activities would not generally qualify as bona-fide market-making. Moreover, a market-maker that continually executes short sales away from its posted quotes would generally not be considered to be engaging in bona-fide market-making.

In an age when many expect instant results from their digital devices, we often find that the most gratifying moments are when we unplug from the Internet and enjoy person-to-person contact. That's one of the reasons the quality of personal service we receive from local restaurants, shops and other businesses is so important.
The Almanac's annual Readers' Choice poll is an opportunity for you to take your hat off to your favorite businesses that have provided that personal service, from traditional winners such as Cafe Borrone to newcomers on the list like Moses Hairstyling.
Here are the winners of the Almanac's 2013 Readers' Choice Awards.
As the winner in five categories, Cafe Borrone is Menlo Park's "go to" place, the local equivalent of the town square. There's a lot of family pride in the restaurant that Roy and Rose Borrone founded almost 24 years ago. Daughter Marina, and her husband, Chef Josh Pebbles, are carrying on the tradition. By the end of the year, the restaurant will be expanding into the space formerly occupied by Cedro restaurant. The new addition will be known as Borrone's Market Bar. "It's going to be beautiful, very European," says Ms. Borrone. Chef Pebbles' kitchen is known for its organic and seasonal dishes. Patrons rave about the house-made pasta and the late summer salads, such as heirloom tomato and mozzarella served with balsamic dressing. And for a sweet touch, what could be better than custard made from Rose Borrone's original recipe? 1010 El Camino Real, #110 | (650) 327-0830
In just two years, Menlo Grill Bistro & Bar has become a solid favorite with local diners for American comfort food served in stylish surroundings. New chef Erik Romme has introduced seasonal specialties, such as sweet corn chowder, summer melon salad and strawberry gazpacho, along with cedar-brined pork chop and homestyle roast chicken. Try impressing your date with Sunday night supper featuring house-smoked prime rib. A new addition is brunch served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays in addition to full breakfast, luncheon and dinner menus. With emphasis on being a friendly neighborhood restaurant, Menlo Grill does not charge for corkage if you bring your own wine. ==I 100 El Camino Real, Menlo Park | (650) 330-2790
Left Bank has the expansive, happening look of a true French brasserie. Local diners appreciate its authentic cuisine, lively happy hour, handsome interior, and outdoor sidewalk seating. Chef Steven Catalano serves classic brasserie items, such as onion soup, escargot, steak frites, and mussels, along with seasonal specialties of heirloom tomato salad and sweet corn fricassee. Brunch at Left Bank, served until 3 p.m., offers a variety of choices: French toast, crab cakes, Basque sausage and eggs, omelets, and, of course, eggs Benedict. 1635 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park | (650) 473-6543
Carpaccio, which just celebrated its 25th year, is once again our readers' choice for "Best Italian" restaurant. Regular patrons have their favorite dishes, such as eggplant Parmesan, Caesar salad, cannelloni, lasagne and cannoli. However, chef Jorges Cortes constantly offers new weekly specials, says managing partner Ciya Martorana. Recent specials include gnocchi with tomato vodka sauce, rack of lamb with roasted vegetables, and grilled rainbow trout. Diners enjoy the Tuscan atmosphere of the Pat Kuleto-designed restaurant interior highlighted with colorful oil paintings done in Italian art poster style. 1120 Crane St., Menlo Park | (650) 2322-1211 |www.carpaccios.com
Su Hong To-Go won the Readers' Choice vote for both Best Take-Out and Best Chinese Restaurant. The Su Hong business, including the former restaurant on El Camino Real, has been around for 36 years and has held the title of Best Chinese Restaurant in the minds of Almanac readers for two decades now. Owner Bee King said that diners enjoy the quality food and reasonable prices. "We use quality ingredients and make our items fresh every day," she said. Among some of the most popular items on the menu are the Chinese chicken salad, pot stickers, orange chicken and Mongolian beef. Su Hong To Go, 630 Menlo Ave., Menlo Park | (650) 322-4631
Almanac readers have named Jeffrey's Hamburgers -- the family-friendly, old-fashioned hamburger diner -- their favorite place to go for a hamburger and to dine with kids. Manager Stephen Friebel said that customers enjoy the choice between traditional hamburgers on the menu, or having the option to build their own by choosing the type of meat, toppings and cheese. The restaurant grinds meat on site daily for its hamburgers, and recently added the burger bowl option for those who have gluten-free diets. Kids are a fan of Jeffrey's as much as adults. "Our menu is totally kid appealing, because we have the milkshakes and the French fires," Friebel said. "They love it." 888 El Camino Ave., Menlo Park | (650) 322-1959 | www.jeffreyshamburgers.com
It's no wonder that Fuki Sushi has almost 70,000 likes on Facebook and took this year's Best Japanese Restaurant award. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had the restaurant cater his private wedding ceremony in May 2012 (and even had a Fuki Sushi branch installed on Facebook's new Menlo Park campus). Fuki Sushi, which opened in 1978, has an extensive menu from appetizers (beef asparagus roll anyone?) to nigiri sushi, sashimi, rolls and entrees. Thirsty sushi-goers can also indulge in Fuki Sushi's cocktail menu, whiskey list, sho chu or liquid dessert menu. 4119 El Camino Real, Palo Alto | (650) 494-9383
The fresh, colorful, artwork-filled Cafe Del Sol has won the vote of Almanac readers for Best Mexican Restaurant. The menu has modern Mexican food, from classic favorites like fajitas to unusual options such as spare ribs and chicken entrees. The restaurant offers a wide variety of soups, appetizers and salads, all which can be ordered for dine-in, take-out or delivery. Cafe Del Sol recently launched a colorful and musical website -- www.cafedelsolmenlo.com. 1010 Doyle St., Menlo Park | (650) 326-2501 | cafedelsolmenlo.com
LB Steak is a welcome addition to the downtown Menlo Park dining scene. Its concept is that of a modern American steakhouse, featuring USDA prime beef. However, Chef Brendy Monsada also prepares a fine selection of seafood entrees. The signature dish is the 32-ounce Tomahawk Chop steak with a choice of sauces. There are eight other steak choices and several non-steak options. Side dishes include Yorkshire pudding, cream of spinach and seasonal vegetables. Save room for dessert, including rhubarb strawberry crumble. 898 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park | (650) 321-8980
This is a sad story. Bella Vista restaurant, nestled in a grove of redwood trees on Skyline Boulevard in Woodside, recently closed. But it went out a champion, once again winning the Readers' Choice Award for Best Romantic Restaurant. Built in 1927, it combined rustic beauty with a dazzling view of the city lights below. Generations considered it the perfect place to pop the question and, of course, it was packed on Valentine's Day. The luxurious menu offered such retro favorites as oysters Rockefeller, escargot, steak Diane (flambeed by your waiter), abalone with almonds, veal scaloppine, cherries jubilee and Grand Marnier souffle. "After 35 years, we've decided to call it a day," says owner John Ward on the restaurant's answering machine. "It's been a great experience, but it's time to go. Thank you for all the great years." We will miss you, Bella Vista. 13451 Skyline Boulevard, Woodside | (650) 851-1229
Angel Heart Cakes has expanded its offerings to include not only angel food cakes, but carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, coconut cake with cream cheese frosting, and a rich devil's food chocolate cake. Business is good since the bakery opened two years ago, says co-owner Chris Rivera. Wedding business has doubled, breakfast service is gaining in popularity, and "compost cookies (chocolate chip cookies with pretzels and cornflakes) are flying out the door," says Ms. Rivera. Another big hit is "munch boxes" shipped to college kids or for holiday gifts. New staff includes Betsy Davos, Molly Wantuch and Stephanie Sanchez. 3716 Florence St., Redwood City | (650) 363-2253
Ann's Coffee Shop has served up simple food done well in Menlo Park since 1946. Opening at 6:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday (7 a.m. on Sunday), it's a popular spot for breakfast, which is served all day, with 16 types of omelettes, hash browns, pancakes and all the other classics on the menu. Cash only. 772 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park | 322-0043
Sweets are certainly trending at The Prolific Oven, the 2013 Readers' Choice winner for Best Desserts. Since 1980, locals have been heading to one of the most prolific bakeries in town. Prolific Oven offers multiple styles of cakes to order, plus other desserts from cannoli to cupcakes, and cheese-swirled brownies to holiday pies. "We are ECSTATIC," Regina Chan, daughter of Prolific Oven owner Henry Chan, says in an email response to the news about winning the award. "We''re thrilled to receive this award because it means we are still doing something right." 550 Waverley St., Palo Alto | (650) 326-8485 | www.prolificoven.com
Pinkberry at the Stanford Shopping Center has won the 2013 Readers' Choice Award for Best Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt. The simple yogurt store with outdoor seating offers traditional frozen yogurt, Greek yogurt, smoothies, shakes and cones. The choices are even greater for toppings, which includes fruit, chocolate, cereal and more. "We use the highest quality ingredients possible," general manager Esther Chun says. "We make sure our fruit is cut every single day by hand." The store offers seasonal flavors. 180 El Camino Real # 14, Palo Alto, CA | email@example.com | pinkberry.com | (650) 322-6030
With seemingly endless combinations of sizes, toppings and premade pizzas, Applewood Pizza has again won the vote of Almanac readers as their favorite pizza place. At Applewood, customers can make their own pizza, or select a favorite on the menu, such as the Menlo Combo, Prawn or Hawaiian. The topping choices range from pepperoni and cheese to Canadian bacon, BBQ beef and marinated eggplant. Pastas, salads, and 37 imported beers help create a diverse menu at the family-style restaurant. Customers can dine in the restaurant, or order online or by phone. 1001 El Camino Real, Menlo Park | (650) 324-3486 | applewoodpizza.com
Schaub's Meat Fish and Poultry at the Stanford Shopping Center has won again for Best Place to Buy Meat. Fred's marinated sirloin, fresh poultry chicken sausages, prime beef and sandwiches are among the most popular items on the menu. Beyond the food, people enjoy the service as well, says Manager Danell Street. "We give good quality customer service and we're willing to help meet the customers' needs," she said. 395 Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto, CA 94304 | (650) 325-6328
The staff at Woodside Deli in Redwood City "puts more in sandwiches than most people do," owner Dan Gallinetti tells the Almanac. "We load them up." The deli is in its 45th year and specializes in all things Italian, as long as it's deli. "If it comes from Italy, we've got it," Mr. Gallinetti says. "I appreciate being voted best sandwich place." 1453 Woodside Road, Redwood City | (650) 369-4235
Stephen Miller Gallery's museum-worthy collection includes hand-woven carpets from Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey and Tibet. The extensive inventory might be overwhelming in another store, but not here, says owner Stephen Miller. "We're not just a retail store, we're a design resource," he says. Mr. Miller and his staff work with each customer to choose a rug that harmonizes with the room. Customers can even take a rug home for a few days to test drive it. "We emphasize quality over quantity when it comes to sales," says Mr. Miller. "We want customers to feel entirely confident." 800 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park, CA 94025 | (650) 327-5040
From commuters to racers to casual weekend riders, Menlo Velo Bicycles has a bike for every lifestyle; however, this small specialty shop is perhaps best known for its personalized approach. "We interact with every person who comes in the door," says owner Rainer Zaechelein. "We're a small shop, but we strive to provide the very best customer experience." This year Menlo Velo has expanded its already-diverse offerings to include electric bicycles, and Mr. Zaechelein invites Peninsula residents to come by and try one. An electric bike owner himself, he says, "Everyone who goes on a test ride comes back with a huge smile. It's a matter of time before they catch on in Silicon Valley." 433 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025 | (650) 327-5137
Now in its second year of yet another new chapter in its life, Kepler's has expanded its inventory of books and its selection of events even as it has squeezed into a smaller space, moving from 10,000 to 6,440 square feet at the same location. The revamped decor turned back the clock to the radical 1960s for inspiration. "My Beloved World," a memoir by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, was the local bookstore's bestseller this past year, and led to a sold-out author event as well. But looking beyond what's on the shelves, readers also appreciate Kepler's efforts to promote green, sustainable practices, leading to two Readers' Choice awards in 2013. 1010 El Camino Real, Menlo Park | 324-4321 | keplers.com
Alys Grace offers a distinctive assortment of upscale clothing, accessories and gifts. Each piece is selected to maintain the right blend of elegance and edge, and the friendly and attentive staff are always willing to offer a second opinion. "We love our customers and enjoy helping them find the perfect outfit, girlfriend gift, or hostess gift," says owner Tiger Bachler. Loyal customers flock to Alys Grace from all over the Bay Area, but those who live farther away aren't out of luck. The popular boutique has an online store, alysgrace.com, which ships their merchandise to women nationwide. 899B Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park 94025 | (650) 322-5524
Old-world craftsmanship meets state-of-the-art equipment on Santa Cruz Ave, where The Great Frame Up has resided for the past two years. At this long-time local favorite, owner Marcy Magatelli and her staff provide customers with design expertise and years of experience. "We aim to give customers exactly what they want, when they need it," she says. She recently installed a computerized camera setup that allows customers to easily visualize their projects and compare different looks. This year, she is particularly excited about two new frame options: a classically elegant line of handmade 22k gold frames, and an ultra-modern plexi-frame line popular with designers. 865 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park | (650) 323-1097
Once again, Cheeky Monkey has won honors as Best Toy Store and Best Gift & Novelty Store in the eyes of Almanac readers. Anna Chow, who co-owns the store with her husband Dexter Chow, says that retro items are popular right now: paper airplanes, craft kits, bubbles and basic toys. The store has been trying out a "tween" section to appeal to children, ages 10-14, who have outgrown other toys in the store. This summer, Cheeky Monkey partnered with YogiBirds, a kids yoga program, to provide free kids yoga classes in the store. "It's a lot of fun," Ms. Chow said. "It might be a little hard for kids to focus sometimes in the store, but I think it's been a great experience." 640 Santa Cruz Ave, Menlo Park; (650) 328-7975 | email@example.com | cheekymonkeytoys.com
Shopping at Draeger's Market has become a way of life for generations of local residents. The family-owned store, founded in 1956, features a vast selection of grocery items, from caviar to corn flakes. There are 500 varieties of produce, top-quality meat and fish departments, gourmet cheeses, fine wines, foreign beers, and a bakery known for luscious cakes, cookies, tarts and pies. The hungry shopper can order a sandwich from the well-stocked deli, dish up a salad at the lavish salad bar, or trek upstairs for a coffee and pastry or a bowl of soup at the cafe. 1010 University Drive, Menlo Park | (650) 324-7751
Voted favorite hardware store among Readers' Choice voters for eight years in a row, it's clear that Menlo Park Ace Hardware is doing something right. Manager Mihail Chivari attributes the store's success to the community. "We're so thankful to have such a loyal customer base," he says. His business strategy is as simple as "listening to what customers want," and delivering it promptly, keeping the shelves well-stocked with everything from year-round goods to seasonal staples such as barbecue equipment and gardening tools in the summer, and "Back to School" and Halloween-related products in the fall. 700 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park, CA 94025 | (650) 325-2515
Known for its fine furniture and interior design services, this is the 21st year that Flegels Home Furnishings has won a Readers' Choice award. Three generations of the Flegel family have made the Menlo Park store, founded in 1954, a benchmark for quality that attracts not only Silicon Valley titans, but a world-wide clientele. Customers appreciate seeing prestige furniture lines, such as Stickley, Baker, McGuire and Henredon, on display instead of having to choose items from a catalog. A professional staff of 10 interior designers is on staff to help shoppers, at no additional cost, find the right accent piece or a full suite of furnishings. 870 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park | 326-9661
Ladera Garden & Gifts expanded its business five years ago to include home and garden accessories, but the nursery is the heart of the business. Owners Juan and Mercedes Navarro know the nursery business and they know their Portola Valley neighbors. The couple has worked side by side for 33 years and their three children have gown up in the business, helping out after school or during vacations. Known for its selection of heat-loving, deer-resistant and butterfly-attracting plants, the nursery offers a type of personal service you don't find in "big box" stores. Employees are happy to plant containers, suggest what to grow where, and diagnose your ailing plants. 3130 Alpine Road, Portola Valley | (650) 854-3850
==The Pet Place== owners Lynn and Marc Macy, lifelong Menlo Park residents, are dedicated to the welfare of animals, and that's reflected in the service they and their staff provide. With its comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, the store offers a wide selection of products and goes the extra mile, whether it's in helping solve a behavioral problem, finding the right food, or referring a customer to a veterinary specialist, sitter or trainer. The Pet Place hosts rescue groups and shelters, and helps with adoptions and in finding temporary and permanent homes for animals in need. 777 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park | (650) 325-7387
This open-air market is nestled in the middle of the bustling Stanford Shopping Center, but entering Sigona's Farmers Market feels like taking a step back in time. Wander among baskets overflowing with tree-ripened fruit, or pick up something special for tonight's dinner from the rows of fresh organic veggies. Sigona's is a family business, and is dedicated to supporting local growers and small farms. In addition to its outstanding produce, Sigona's offers a large selection of specialty foods. Its flavored olive oils and balsamics are well known among local foodies. Lydia, a frequent Sigona's customer, recommends the balsamic fig vinegar with the blood orange fusion olive oil. Try her combination, or find your own favorite. 399 Stanford Shopping Center Palo Alto 94304 | (650) 329-1340
Customers at Fleet Feet Sports don't just come for the quality shoes and the personalized customer service. The store, which has won for Best Shoe Store, also offers programs to help people train for races. "We do whatever it takes to get someone in the right gear to help them keep running or walking and enjoy it," said Jim Gothers, co-owner with his wife Lisa Taggart. The business has weekly "fun runs" on Thursdays for anyone, and monthly "pub runs" when beverages are served at the store after a 3- to 6-mile run. In the fall, the store offers discounts for high school cross country runners and gives a percentage back to schools. "We want to get people interested in running at a young age," said Mr. Gothers. 859 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park | (650) 325-9432 | fleetfeetmenlopark.com
Beltramo's Wines and Spirits, founded in 1882 by Giovanni Beltramo, remains a Menlo Park favorite that's still run by the family. The store carries international as well as domestic wines and other beverages (and chocolate). Sample wine on Saturdays, or beer and spirits sampling every other Friday. Customers can find a bottle of California cabernet sauvignon for less than $15 or a single malt scotch for $17,000. No stranger to the Readers' Choice Awards, Beltramo's has also been recognized by Market Watch, the National Liquor Stores Association Food and Wine Magazine, and the New York Times. 1540 El Camino Real, Menlo Park | 325-2806 | beltramos.com
The award for best auto repair goes to Portola Valley Garage, a specialist in the repair of European vehicles since 1948. Owner Tom Ramies has a message of thanks for his customers: "It's because of you that we're number 1 and we'll continue to strive to do our best." The garage is in its second year of offering two-year, 24,000-mile warranties. "There's not a lot of people that offer that," Mr. Ramies says. In March, Portola Valley Garage became a Star Test and Repair smog station, meaning the full range of smog test services is available, including fixing older vehicles that don't pass. 4170 Alpine Road, Portola Valley | (650) 851-7442
Readers awarded Best Barber honors this year to Moses Hairstyling in Menlo Park, where Moses Mareno has been principal for 24 years. "I have been coming to Moses off and on ... for over 20 years," says one customer who now lives in Morgan Hill. "I would never think of going anywhere else." Another customer recalls living in five other states and finding no one to compare with Mr. Moreno: "Moses is a great barber, in fact the best we know of anywhere." ==1110 Crane St., Menlo Park | (650) 322-8822==
Day Spa
Life is already stressful, so chill out. Sometimes you need a break and time to relax. With hot tub rooms, full-hour Swedish massage (either deep tissue or prenatal), skincare and spa treatments, Watercourse Way may be the perfect place to do just that. It's got the Readers' Choice chops to prove it. 165 Channing Ave., Palo Alto | (650) 462-2000
For the fifth year in a row, Menalto Cleaners claims the award for best dry cleaner. "Our business is your dirty laundry," according to its website, and since E. Gary Smith opened the business 25 years ago, he's offered services such as pickup and delivery, hand-finished shirts, alterations and even shoe repair. Mr. Smith, who lives around the corner from his store, said the willingness to go the extra mile contributes to the popularity of Menalto Cleaners. Customers come from Menlo Park as well as from referrals through other Bay Area businesses, such as Neiman Marcus and Ann Taylor. 1921 Menalto Ave., Menlo Park | 323-7001 | menaltocleaners.com
A community feel and friendly staff is what customers enjoy at Studio Rincon, which won 2013 Readers' Choice Awards in two categories: Best Fitness Classes and Best Yoga. Among some of the most popular classes offered are Zumba, Cardio kickboxing and Aligned Vinyasa Yoga. Owner Bill Petrin says that customers enjoy the positive atmosphere. "The most common feedback I get from people is how friendly and positive our staff, teachers and community is," he says. "It's a great place to be." The business recently doubled its space to offer childcare within classes, a bigger studio, retail, drinks and more. This year will be the fourth year that Studio Rincon will offer youth dance classes in the fall, beginning in September. 3536 Alameda De Las Pulgas, Menlo Park | (650) 861-0242 | studiorincon.com

Along with colorful arrangements of flowers, the store sells eco-friendly products such as cards, candles, and containers made from recycled bottles. Owner Bella Hicks says that customers enjoy the personal service they get for events. "We do weddings and events," she said. "We always get to meet with the bridge and groom for weddings." The store keeps up with seasonal flower arrangements to fit customer needs and keeps its store stocked with new items, such as vases and containers. "We're looking forward to more events, holiday parties, and new products," Ms. Hicks said. 1927 Menalto Ave, Menlo Park CA 94025 | (650) 241-4377 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Every guest enjoys a customized experience at AXIS Personal Trainers, which won the 2013 Readers' Choice Award for Best Gym. "Our clients get results," owner Scott Norton says. "They feel like they are part of a great community at AXIS." The AXIS team of more than 40 trainers is focused on a common goal: to give clients more than they ever thought possible, and to do so through continuous professional development, and by creating an exceptional experience for everyone who walks through our doors, Mr. Norton says. In the past two years, AXIS has remodeled the entire facility, from the locker rooms and reception area to the workout equipment.

Olive Hill Salon has won the 2013 Readers' Choice Award for Best Hair Salon. Clients at the boutique enjoy the friendly environment, says owner Danielle Casa. "Our stylists and receptionists know clients by name, and an appointment is an opportunity to catch up on life, family, and friends," she says. The business is environmentally friendly, using products that are not tested on animals and others that are sulfate-free; it recently added a hair color system free of chemicals. The boutique works with nonprofit organizations, such as Locks of Love.

Rosewood Sand Hill, winner of "Best Hotel" for the fifth year, has become a center of the Peninsula social scene since its opening in 2009.

New this year are Saturday jazz nights in the hotel lobby lounge and the in-house chocolate line (used for desserts, wedding favors and turndown services), launched by executive pastry chef Mellisa Root. There is also a new treatment "menu" at Sense spa. 2825 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park | (650) 561-1500.

They will remember your name and make you feel welcome for your manicure and pedicure, waxing, eyebrow tint, lash extensions, and other personal care.

Efficiency and convenience is what customers enjoy about Walgreens, which has again won the Readers' Choice award for Best Pharmacy.

They also like the easy process of picking up prescriptions. "Everything is always ready when they get here," Man said. "We try to solve their problems before they get here so that it's already taken care of." 643 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park | (650) 321-1530
Customers at Guy Plumbing appreciate the company's trust and reliability, and readers have once again named the family-owned business best plumber. Owner Dave Guy said that customers enjoy the fourth-generation company because not may businesses today focus on face-to-face interactions and customer service. "It's good to see that there's still interest in the hands-on, mechanical aspect of business," he said. The business has responded to city and county water-saving regulations by providing products that both work well and minimize water usage. "We're becoming familiar with how to save water," he said. "Customers are pleased with it." 1265 El Camino Real, Menlo Park 94025 | (650) 323-8421 | guyplumbing.com
Portola Art Gallery displays the work of 16 Bay Area artists, including photographers, painters and ceramicists. Each month a different artist is featured, and the public is invited to a reception with that artist. The artists' cooperative was located in the Little Red Schoolhouse in Portola Valley before moving, in 2006, to the historic and scenic Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park. Two of the artists, Kristen Olson and Jan Presco, offer painting classes and workshops at Allied Arts and other nearby locations. The gallery offers a wide selection of gift items, such as unframed prints, tiles, silk scarves, greeting cards, books and pottery. Allied Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Road, Menlo Park | (650) 321-0220.
Customers flock to the Dutch Goose because it feels like home, owner Greg Stern said. "It takes a long time to establish that kind of atmosphere and we've been fortunate to have withstood the test of time since the 60s." Happy Hour runs from 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays, with drinks from $3 to $5. Add on unique items such as the deviled eggs or the "choose a flavor" self-serve soda fountain, and it's easy to see why this Menlo Park pub has won multiple Readers' Choice awards. 3567 Alameda de las Pulgas, Menlo Park | 854-3245 | dutchgoose.net

Overall, the first edition of this book was a hit and we are confident that the second will be also. New techniques have been added while retaining the accessibility of the previous version. We're sure we'll have many copies of the second edition stolen off our shelves in the future. We had better order six.
Why does this book work so well? I think that there are three reasons. First, Greenspan is not afraid to explain the obvious, or at least what to Drosophilists is obvious....Second, Greenspan doesn't just describe what we do, but usually explains why....Third, newer techniques, such as gene disruption by homologous recombination, or use of inducible promoters, are not addons but are integrated into the general topics, in these cases of finding mutants and of analyzing their action, making clear how classical methodology, molecular biology and genomics create an integrated whole. Of course, it also helps that the book is written in a brief, breezy, colloquial style. This does not imply, however, that Fly Pushing is an easy read. It is brief, breezy and colloquial, but is also meaty and the reader will have to, but I think will also want to, work at understanding what's here.
This book will be well received by both fly people and Drosophila novices, as Greenspan very clearly explains the methods in a simple and handson style. We especially liked the figures that depict frequently used markers...
The second edition contains a great deal of updated information on recent innovations, such as gene targeting using homologous recombination, RNA interference, and the FLP/FRT system. The list of (rapidly evolving) internet resources for Drosophila work will also be very valuable to have at one's fingertips in the modern fly laboratory, which often has a computer right across the bay from the molecular bench.

GilHello everyone!
I'm preparing myself for the CAE test and I need some help with the writing part because I don't have anyone here to correct my essays. Please could you guys have a look?
Thanks in
advancedadvance ("advanced" is to move forward).
This is the beginning of my formal letter:
Dear Sir,
I am writing with regard to your article "Host Families in the Dark", which appeared in last Saturday's edition. I would like to make it clear to readers that comments made are not true
toabout all language schools in Easton.
(I'm not sure of how you can make anything clear to the readers. You could write, "I would like for you to make it clear...", or, "I would like to make it clear that the comments...".)
Firstly, the view of the poor relations between students and host families is clearly not true of Midtown College, where I am the secretary. Moreover, the reason why our students are barely (I would prefer "hardly ever at home". To be very correct, this is not their home, it is the home of their hosts. "hardly ever at their lodging" seems to work better) at home is because they are always doing things.....

Less Monica, more Rachel.
Our gal Rachel, editor of Mosaic Brides and regular guest blogger here at Brides Up North explains why hiring a wedding planner should be at the top of your wedding wish list. Headsets not included.
Rachel says: Think wedding planner and you might just picture a control crazed Monica from Friends when she took on the role for Phoebe's big day – but fear not, none that I know of bark military style orders at brides and grooms whilst carrying a clipboard everywhere they go. Here I explain the benefits that a professional planner can bring without the use of a megaphone…
It's a common misconception that wedding planners are just for the rich and famous. In fact, their affordable rates and varied packages mean they can help couples from all walks of life to make their dream weddings become a reality.
The duty of a planner is not to take over, but instead to help a couple achieve their wedding day vision whilst saving time and money, thus resulting in an enjoyable and stress-free celebration.
Image credit: weheartit.com
Professional planners can help with as little or as much of the planning as a couple desires, being involved for either a short period of time or throughout the entire planning process and during the big day itself.
Whilst your chosen venue may have an on-site co-ordinator thrown in as part of the package, their duties rarely go beyond assisting with the menu, décor, floor plan and perhaps providing a list of recommended suppliers.
Meanwhile independent planners offer different packages to suit individual couples' needs. For example an initial consultation is ideal for couples who want to be very hands on with the planning but perhaps are just a little overwhelmed. An early meeting with a planner will help them establish a budget and give them an idea of what will need to be done and when. Partial planning gives brides and grooms the option to cherry pick a number of services they require as such venue searches, creative styling or on the day co-ordination. A full planning service is usually a popular choice with couples who have little time to spare and would therefore prefer to let someone else to do the leg work for them.
Image source: fanpop.com
Before hiring a wedding planner it's a good idea to meet with them so you can enquire about their experience and see how you get along. It's important you feel at ease and trust them as your planner will need to get to know you and your wishes for the wedding so they achieve, or even surpass, your expectations.
So how can a wedding planner help?
Time Is Money
Planners can do the groundwork of researching venues and suppliers which will save you endless hours. They can then set up meetings and appointments for you to attend to go over suggestions, present creative ideas, meet with suppliers and sample food/drink menus.
Money Is Money
Due to their contacts in the industry many planners can often score discounts with suppliers who they bring repeat business to. They also have knowledge of what things should cost so can shop around for best price and haggle on your behalf.
Ask An Expert
Planners can offer advice on subjects you might not have even thought about such as wedding laws, etiquette and insurance. Furthermore they have first hand experience with trusted suppliers/venues and therefore know those best suited to your requirements.
Budgeting For Beginners
Initially many couples don't realise how the cost of a wedding can mount up or where hidden costs can occur. A planner's knowledge means they can help you set a realistic budget and stick to it by keeping track of costs so there are no nasty surprises.
Under Pressure
Planners can handle the difficult/boring parts in the run up to the wedding leaving you more time to indulge in the fun stuff like dress shopping. On the day itself co-ordination and styling set-up services offered by planners will ensure all runs smoothly and looks perfect meaning no added pressure on the bride and groom or any of their guests.
Image credit: Comedy Central
Gloves Off
As an independent third party who has a wealth of experience in weddings, a planner can help settle disputes between the bride and groom and or family/friends by offering impartial, expert advice to reach the best solution.
Creative Concepts
For those who are struggling for inspiration, or who have an idea but aren't sure how to make it a reality, planners can suggest and source everything from décor and chair covers to table linen and stationery and ensure it all corresponds.
Brides Abroad
A planner is particularly useful for those getting married overseas especially if the couple aren't familiar with their chosen destination. There are planners who specialise in certain destinations and therefore are totally clued up on the country's wedding laws and venue options and also boast a list of trusted suppliers.
In short professional planners are the answer to a wedding fairy godmother offering priceless expert knowledge, professionalism, creativeness, guidance, stress relief and perhaps even friendship.

National Parks Roundup: Tourism Hit Feared
By Jim Carlton, Ana Campoy and Ben Kesling
The federal government shutdown has forced the U.S. Park Service to close the country's national park system, affecting 401 areas covering 84 million acres. Rangers closed many roads and advised most overnight campers that they have 48 hours to leave. Here are reports from parks around the country, and from the towns and businesses that rely on the tourists they draw, from Wall Street Journal staff reporters.

Well...today I was very amazed at the utter stupidity of some people in this world. Now, before I go on any further, let's make one thing clear:
Ignorance - for the purposes of this post, if you are ignorant, then that is okay. For example, if you are a French major in college, and dont know a single thing about computers, then that is okay. You are ignorant about computers because you dont need to know anything about computers for your French major.
Stupidity - this is not okay. For example, if you are a Computer Science major in college, and know not one thing about computers, you are considered stupid in my mind...
Now, keeping this in mind...I saw a lot of stupid people today in my Computer Science 124 class here at my university. They asked my professor some of the STUPIDEST questions I never thought I would hear exit the words of the mouth of a Computer Science major...
So here they are, for your viewing pleasure! Stupid questions asked by Computer Science majors to their CS Professor!
1. "How do I save a word document as a text file?"
2. Student: "How do I open a .pdf file?"
TA: "Are you using Windows?"
Student: "I think so..."
3. "So up until now with 64 bit processors we could only computer 64 bits at a time?"
4. "Why does the binary number 0001 represent the number 1 and not the number -1?"
*claps and cheers* Yea for the stupidity! Now, I could easily understand someone of a non-computer major not knowing those things. But those were all COMP SCI majors that asked those questions!
(If anyone else has had any experiences such as this...please...post them on this thread so we can laugh at other peoples stupidity...)

30 years ago tonight, Pistons beat Nuggets 186-184
An ESPN feature tonight prompted my memory on this one.
Thirty years ago tonight, before the Detroit Pistons faced the Nuggets at McNichols Sports Arena, I was eating dinner in the press room. I was in my second year in the Nuggets beat after five seasons covering the NHL's Colorado Rockies. This rarely happens today, but Detroit coach Chuck Daly was passing some of the pre-game time sitting in the press room, communing with the lowly members of the Fourth Estate and others.
Nuggets coach Doug Moe, as he often did, just poked his head through the doorway and smiled mischievously, checking out who was — and wasn't — there. It was his way of saying hello.
Daly spotted him and called out, "First one to 140 wins."
Moe laughed and responded, "We won't even make it through the third quarter."
Close enough. Read more…

BOSTON (Reuters) - Michael Dell has lost of one of the key lieutenants he recruited to help him turn around his ailing computer company.
David Johnson, Dell Inc's senior vice president for corporate strategy, has left to take a senior position with investment company Blackstone Group LP, according to Dell spokesman David Frink.
He joined Dell in 2009 from IBM, where he served as head of mergers and acquisitions. IBM waged an unsuccessful legal effort to prevent Johnson from taking the job at Dell, citing a non-compete clause in an employment agreement.
Johnson was not available for comment on his new position on Monday. Officials at Blackstone could not be reached.
During his three years at the computer maker, Johnson oversaw some 20 acquisitions worth about $10 billion, according to Frink.
Johnson, who reported directly to Michael Dell, will be replaced by two vice presidents who will report to the company's chief financial officer, Brian Gladden.
"He leaves a strong and sustainable organization behind, one that will continue to execute our strategy and pursue our aggressive M&A activities," Frink said in a statement.
He is leaving at a tough time for Dell. Its stock has tumbled 30 percent over the past year, while the Nasdaq Composite Index has climbed 16 percent.
Dell's hardware sales have fallen as it has struggled to develop mobile devices to compete with Apple Inc's iPhone and iPad as well as smartphones and tablets running on Google Inc's Android operating system.
Business customers have generally cut back on buying of hardware from Dell and other suppliers in recent months until the economy shows new signs of strength.
In its most recent quarter, the company reported a 47 percent drop in quarterly profit. Once the world's largest maker of PCs, it has fallen to the No. 3 spot, behind Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard Co.
Vice President Chris Kleiman was named to run Dell's M&A team, while Vice President Prakash Jothee was picked to head up its corporate strategy team.

Lady GaGa is reportedly in talks to launch a "pants line." We're not sure if this means her line will consist of only pants, or if she'll also start wearing pants. As we've said before, she could certainly use some, but last we checked Satan's not ice skating in hell, so we'll remain only cautiously optimistic. Sassybella reports:
"I can't wait to do my own line," GaGa told Grazia recently. "It's definitely something I want to do in the next year, as I do have my own style. I'm already talking to my boy Akon about it."
Over to her boy Akon:
"People dissed her because of the way she dresses, but she's hot. Everyone wants to look like her. She'll walk around in London in her underwear and you watch, everyone will catch on."
Nooooo. Don't listen, London -- keep your pants on. We know you're not used to all the snow you just had but it's a generally not a good idea to take it on with a bare ass. Our thoughts on pants aside, we're thrilled GaGa's launching a line. We would love a set of those lovely dinosaur spikes or rock embellishments she often wears. Also, any sort of top with broad structural shoulders that won't fit under coats and, when worn on elevators, take up the space of two or three people would be nice. As long as she stays away from fake hair-bow pieces, we support her.

The Washington Redskins had serious issues regarding the health of quarterback Robert Griffin III on Sunday. The Seattle Seahawks also had concerns of their own.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
Kicker Steven Hauschka suffered a calf injury he suffered during the second quarter of Sunday's 24-14 victory, but the injury didn't significantly impact the Seahawks' strategy for the rest of the afternoon.
Fox sideline reporter Erin Andrews said Hauschka had the ankle taped up, then ripped off the tape after attempting some practice kicks into the net. He made a brief trip to the Seahawks' locker room before re-emerging to kick a 29-yard field goal to end the second quarter. He was limping badly after the kick.
Punter Jon Ryan handled kickoff duties during Hauschka's absence, hitting a low line drive that nearly went out of bounds. It was just the third kickoff of Ryan's seven-year NFL career. Ryan has never attempted a field goal.
The uncertainty surrounding Hauschka could have had the Seahawks' entire special-teams unit into disarray in Seattle's biggest game of the season. Makes you wonder why teams don't dress an emergency kicker in games of this magnitude.
Hauschka wasn't the only injury for the Seahawks. Defensive end Chris Clemons suffered a serious knee injury.
