This paper is pure temptation, you are forced to take advantage…read more I remember when I was 5 and I'd watch my grandpa read the newspaper, right leg cross the left thigh, leg shaking to an unknown rhythm and eyes locked as if he was watching an important scene in a movie. I never thought that I'd be reading a newspaper. April 2007, now I have become a miniature grandpa, all thanks to you Burlingame Daily! Went from 18 to 80! Haha I guess it's a good thing. B-Game daily gives the first scoop on all the lastest news... actually all the newspaper's do, but yeah... My first scoop. B-game daily news is where I got the first peep at "Naughty Newsom" and "Diaper Psycho Love Crazy Lady." If it wasn't for the B-game daily I wouldn't know that there are plans of making mechanical paper; or that the Governator broke his leg; or that they found the killer of my high school classmate Ray Bass. To be continued... What makes the Burlingame Daily stand out out more than other papers is. 1.It's free! 2.A great read for those who are young and hate reading. 3.You also have the entertainment section... Wanna know who Bradgelina adopted this week? 4.Has interesting development for the Burlingame area. (So all you B-game lovers and Live-ers... You might just find your face in there.) 5.Like making home-runs is for Barry Bonds, once you start reading the B-game Daily, reading will become your home-run (yes I know, great comparison GO BARRY!). And before you know it, you'll be hip like me, going from 18 to 80.

They publish BaySpo, a FREE Japanese language weekly entertainment paper serving Bay Area. Useless…read moreif you cannot read Japanese? Oh wait, it could be useful. If you find a stack of BaySpo near the entrance of a Japanese restaurant, the chance that you'll get treated to authentic Japanese food increases. Not a 100% rule, but you could use it as one of the indicators. Many restaurants that target Japanese customers post ads on BaySpo (Chika, Oyaji, Hoshi, Katanaya, Delica rf-1, etc.) You could pickup BaySpo at any of the Japanese grocery stores like Nijiya (http://www.yelp.com/biz/3-QftDg5y7rqLfCVt_Ja-g) or at any of the sponsoring restaurants. If you could read it, you could learn about some useless news like how actress Miazaki Aoi got married. Oh wait. What?!? Nana (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471834/) is married. The little girl in Eureka (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243889/) is married. Oh no. * New issue comes out every Friday

I second Toro E's review on IPP / BaySpo. One of the best free circulations to bring with you while…read moreyou "take a dump at work" (see other yelp reviews on that one.) This publication is now famous for showcasing the great Nobu K in issue # 905 that came out earlier this year, a full page spread and interview (where he also shamelessly plugs our favorite website here). Entirely in Japanese, sorry I can't read or translate ;-( While I agree there are many ads on good restaurants and businesses that advertise here, but there are also many mediocre and near sub standard places (in my opinion) that want to reach a certain target market because either they are new, or they are experiencing not so great sales. Many Chinese restaurants that have advertised on Bay Spo come to mind. The most disappointing new restaurant out of Bay Spo of the crop has to be Sushi Tatsumi in Cupertino. Bay Spo also features entertainment gossip from Japan. I didn't even know that Fujiwara Norika got married, a famous celebrity actress who enslaved many a man with his hand down his pants in the 90s, before the days of "My Sassy Girl". Turned out she married a comedian. I bet he's laughing all the way to the bank. http://www.asianmei.com/norika-fujiwara/ Or how about that top wrestler in Japan who feigned injury and secretly took a vacation to be back home in Mongolia, where the paparazzi took photos of him playing soccer with his kids, shaming him forever? But if you are a food gossiper, what better way than to check out the latest and greatest, from feature articles and interviews (mostly paid ads) on restaurant owners, potential star chefs, and even in the classifieds section where you can find out what restaurants are hiring. Sometimes the featured dish of the week (showcasing random restaurants) is interesting, other times the exact opposite.

What's unusual about this circular, is that it seems to be the new version of "East West" (another free circular with numerous articles about fine dining) except Distinctive Taste magazine's articles are WRITTEN MOSTL BY BY A$N WOMEN, even the editor in chief is female (versus all dudes with East West....I know I know, EW sounds like some A$N male chauvinistic pig rag which it is not, considering one of the $hames to A$N Americans being put out every year is that dreadful East Meets West A$N bikini clad calendars, which I dare say many of those models are probably on Yelp too) Now before you criticize and say, what do these people know about food? I'm leafing through the April 2009 copy of the rag. They don't start reviews with "wow" and never use the words "yummy". These women are real seasoned pros and know what they are talking about. It's great slack time reading nonetheless. Here are some articles they wrote - eating fugu (blowfish) at the source in Shimonoseki (southern Japan). The author even ate a TOFU made of fugu, with the fish grounded into a paste then molded and crafted into tofu form. - ok while not original material, another author discusses the point of view of Japanese cuisine from a blogger based in Beijing. OK so what merit does this guy have? He says that miso soup in the US, is store bought paste, hot water, tiny cubes of tofu, scallions, and called a done deal. In Japan this is a more meticulous prep, with additional ingredients ranging from konbu, daikon and some may go as far as to add hamaguri (clam), oysters, fish, vegetables. The really good places will make their own miso paste and not rely on outsourced or store bought. My favorite is the paragraph about Japanese sushi vs American sushi. Japanese sushi is about elegance, attention to detail, refreshing and simple taste, and quality ingredients with original taste. Unlike American sushi where the rainbow colors are all over the place, the rolls look explosive, the sauces can be upwards of 5 to 6 colors alone. - Singaporean Chinese woman writes about SE A$N curry, too complicated for me to absorb in one sitting - a local female writer describes the Ohagi at Shuei-Do Manju Shop in San Jose. Ohagi is red bean paste on the outside, sticky rice on the inside. Recently seen at the Hokkaido Food Fair at Mitsuwa late last year. Decent free reading. Can't complain.

I called for rates in registering a fictitious business name as I registered a business name in San…read moreMateo online a couple of days ago. The legality is that we need to advertising the business name within 30 days in a general circulation newspaper distributed in San Mateo County; the advertisement must be published once a week for four successive weeks. I thought I should take action immediately by calling for pricing. I spoke to Gail who was very helpful in giving me information. This is rare for someone who answers a main phone number line which is why I'm giving 5 stars. Here is the info: * It costs $40 for 4 weeks if I'm a single filer with a single business name; if there are more filers and more business names then it is $8 extra for each. * I should receive 3 forms in the mail from San Mateo county. 1 for the newspaper for filing the fictitious business name, 1 for the bank in starting an account and I believe 1 for my records. Once I receive the form for the newspaper, I send or fax it in to the newspaper, they will take the info from the form, create and publish a fictitious business name statement.

I LOVE this paper…read more I've always preferred it to its competitor, SM Daily News, because the Daily Journal has a much better format, style, and color photos! It's just designed well. One of my favorite aspects of the paper is the "Know it All" section on the first page inside--it's awesome trivia facts and I always learn cool stuff. It reminds me of the Chronicle's "Grab Bag" except the Daily Journal has a theme with the section. I look forward to it each time I read the paper! The DJ website is good, too. I've advertised in the classifieds with this paper, and not only did they suggest a better way to format my ad (it looked so much better with their suggestion) but I did get new business, thanks to them. The paper is a frequent supporter and contributer to local events and organizations, which is wonderful. They are a paper for the Peninsula, and they support their community. Gale in the office is awesome..she has the cutest Rhode Island accent.
