I went to Karry's after reading the positive reviews. My Infiniti G35 had a broken side mirror, a minor dent in the fender, and a scratched up bumper. When Karry found out that I was planning to sell the car after fixing it up, he offered to touch up any other nicks or minor scratches on the car. He gave me a reasonable quote, I dropped it off the next day, and picked it up the following day.
The workmanship was top notch, although I later discovered they missed a spot. They also left some polishing compound or something on the rear bumper which didn't rub off easily when I tried. I took it back the next week and Karry took care of both problems the same day.
It was nice that they washed the car (they must have to with all the dust from the work they do), but the windshield was all smeary and there was some spots inside the car where it looks like dirty wash water got in. I know Karry's is an auto body repair shop and not a car wash, but still a clean rag on the windshield would have been nice. :-)
All in all, I will go back — the work was done well and Karry was easy to work with.
Update: Three weeks after the original work was done, and after I posted the car for sale on eBay, I dented the fender! Doh! A quick call to Karry had my car in the shop that evening and back in my hands 24 hours later back in good shape. And this time the car was clean. I am upgrading my rating from the original 4 stars to 5 stars. Thanks, Karry!

Karry is the Man!
I had some repair work done on my 2004 Saab – a guy had scaped the hell out of my front left fender, knocking off the turning signal.
After seeing great reviews on Yelp, I called Karry to schedule a time to take my car over to Karry's for an estimate.
When I got there, Karry greeted me by name – don't know how he recognized me, maybe by my car? This is awesome customer service.
Karry gave me a VERY reasonable estimate – a bit cheaper than the other estimate that I got from another collision shop. In addition, he took great care in explaining everything that would have to be done to repair my car. Really went the extra mile, so I felt great about giving him my business.
I got my car back 2 days later, and the work was superb. Repainting bumpers can be really tricky, but Karry's shop did a flawless job. Looks brand new.
I was all bummed out that the guy who hit my car didn't hit the back of my car, since I have a couple dings and scrapes back there.
Oh wait… Karry did a great touchup job for FREE on the back of my car! Why? Just because I guess!
Service was great, inspired trust, and Karry' DEFINITELY has my loyalty. Would recommend him to anyone wholeheartedly.

I was sitting at my place yesterday and all of the sudden the SF Fire Deptkindley knock on my door to tell me they hit my parked car. (1968 Plymouth Valiant).
I called Karry to see if they were open today July 7th and who answers his cell phone Karry. The guy was at his own personal wedding getting married and HE ANSWERED MY CALL….WOW!!!! I can only say, what customer service already.
See ya next week Karry!!!

After Rock the Bells I decided to "bap the whip" (fender bender) into a taxi. It was completely my fault and I had no one to blame except for myself. So on Monday I went around and got a few estimates. The 1st place I went to was asking for $1250. They were going on and on about paint matching for a MBZ and how much labor would cost to take apart the bumper because it is constructed in 3 pieces. The 2nd place i went to had a much better price but was extremely sketchy.
So the next day I bring my car into Karry's. Karry's price was the lowest by far. The work was top notch and when I picked up my car it was immaculate . It was so clean that it put that spot on Divis& Oak to shame (You know the one). I would recommend Karry's to anyone who's day has been ruined by an accident. You won't feel as bad after you talk to him.
I don't always watch movies. But when I do, I prefer tresequis.

Had a great experience with Karry's. I had to give them a call because some mofo keyed my car! Giant initials on the door of my 2005 Accord. I'm just lucky I didn't have a stroke right there or make one of my eyeballs pop out through anger alone.
Karry helped me out though. Fast service and great attention to detail. He even found some additional damage that the adjuster had missed and took care of getting the estimate increased. Super easy process and my car looks great again.

I have taken my Honda CRV to Karry twice and both times, have had an incredibly positive experience. I generally tend to approach all body shop and car service businesses with extreme distrust, but I did not have to worry with Karry. He looked at my car, and was honest as to what he could do, and more importantly, what was worth doing (he is not one of those types that keep adding unnecessary activity and labor and parts to the final bill just to make himself an extra buck). His price was very fair, and my car was ready very quickly over Thanksgiving weekend. The second time I went in, my car was ready the same day.
Karry is very honest, pleasant, professional, and fair. He originally worked at Don's body shop (who I called before Karry, but did not have a positive experience). Don's has "an arrangement" with the San Francisco Honda dealership and their prices are significantly higher than Karry. Additionally, their service is not as personalized. I strongly recommend Karry. He is on my speed dial list- I call him now whenever I do something to the car, and it is fixed before my husband ever notices! THAT is worth a ton.

On Christmas Eve, a gentleman in a beat up Ford F150 was backing down the street and didn't stop till his his bumper was in my back door. The door was destroyed – totally punched in. It was appalling. Luckily no damage extended beyond the door. Also, luckily, this gentleman had insurance.
I keep my car in mint condition. It's a silver Infiniti G35. It's almost 3 years old, and almost not a scratch on in – till now. So, for me it was very important that when the door was replaced, it wouldn't look all rough and/or discolored like you see on some cars. I wanted it to look like nothing ever happened – the way it did before.
So, I consulted Yelp, and searched for a body shop that had good reviews, and maybe even some feedback on similar damage that was repaired. The reviews about how much business Karry has are all true. It's amazing how much work they have, and how efficient they are at getting it all done.
Karry told me to come out on, I believe it was the 26th, and he quickly assessed the damage, and gave me an estimate.
I dropped my car off on Monday morning (1/8/08) – I wasn't in a hurry to get it fixed, mind you. I don't drive much, and I wasn't interested in a rental car, even though insurance would have covered one (and they will arrange for one to come there and drop off a rental car for you). I was told that it would take probably about 1 1/2 weeks.
The person who hit my car had AAA insurance (which also was very good about coming to inspect my car, and negotiating with Karry).
Saturday, Karry called me and told me it *might* possibly be ready on Monday (15th). It wasn't ready by Monday, so I called on Tuesday…

I brought my BMW to Frisco only a couple months ago, but boy almighty did parking on these streets do a number on the exterior. My back bumper was scratched up as if someone took a chisel to it.
My car was mint before I started dating a girl in the Haight and parking there.
Anyway I now have a garage space, and decided to get the damage repaired. BMW quoted me a price,Karry matched it and actually ended up beating it.
The whole experience was fantastic. I got an estimate and appointment the same week. They gave me a ride to the BART after I dropped off my car, and I didn't have to ask. They finished the job on time and did and excellent job.
Not only is the bumper back to minty condition, but they fixed other dings and a pretty large scratch on the rear quarter for free! Biggest plus is that as long as I own the car, I can some back to these guys for touchups at no cost.
Will definitely go here again, but I hope I don't have to for a long time
If you need body work, this place should be on your short list.
San Francisco, CA
Karry did an excellent job repairing my 05 4Runner after being rearended. He also did an great job repairing a tire flare peice another body shop had failed to do correctly. He had the Truck completed in less than 24 hours after I dropped it off. Free estimate, and was able to get me in when I needed. Least Painful experience dealing with a body shop ever, which is saying alot. I would take my truck back to carry if needed in a heartbeat.
What goes up sometimes just doesn't want to come down.

After being hit by a drunk driver, our bumper was newly replaced and painted and now looks like it did out of the Lexus showroom. I have to say Karry's shop is by far the best. I've dealt with a few big body shops around the city and have been extremely disappointed by the poor quality of work. I have to give him 5 stars for every aspect of the process!!
San Francisco, CA
In the 1 year I have had my precious Audi, I have been to Karry's shop for 3 different things. Each time Karry has been absolutely fabulous!!
~He's returned my phone call at 8pm on a Friday night in midst of a total panic attack over my car window not rolling up. I live in North Beach and park on the street. It was serious panic time. I had the first appointment of the day on Saturday.
~He's let me reschedule an appointment to replace another window at least 4 different times w/out the slightest bit of attitude that you would find at other shops.
~And finally today, he did NOT laugh at me too badly for fixing headlights that apparently were not broken to begin with. (Apparently I'm still figuring out how to turn on my headlights????) Although a slight alteration needed to be made after my bf tried to fix what was not broken. Karry also did NOT charge me for fixing the bf's mistake. And off I was in less than 15 minutes w/ a lesson on how to turn my lights on.
Overall, I give Karry 5 stars without hesitation! He does a great job, VERY reasonably priced and he genuinely cares about customer service. I will keep on returning to Karry for anything else that may need to be taken care of on my car. I highly suggest you check him out!

I found Karry on here after a pole hit the rear bumper of my beautiful 2006 BMW 325ci. After my first experience of yelping a less than perfect hair cut, I wanted a few quotes just to make sure I was getting the best deal and to not make the same mistake twice. Though I did find one garage that was willing to do the job for much cheaper than Karry's already reasonable price, I felt much more comfortable with my baby in Karry's hands. Karry reassured me that he used top of the line products and paint which the other garage may or may not be using. He even dropped down his original quote price which was already discounted since I wasn't going through my insurance. YOU ROCK MANN!!!
To make a long story short, Karry was a pleasure to work with. The plastic bumper was heated up and reshaped, then filled in and repainted. It looks brand spankin' new! I have already recommended him to a few close friends and will without hesitation use his services in the future as needed.
San Francisco, CA
A couple weeks ago, I and an honest guy who scraped my rear bumper and a little bit of the side of my Acura TSX brought my car over to Karry's Auto Body Center. Karry gave us an estimate and the honest guy, being honest, paid for the work upfront. The good deed made my day. I brought my car in later in the week for the services. To say the least, he did an exceptional job. Karry is truly an honest and professional mechanic, which from my experience, is extremely hard to find. I also appreciated his efforts of looking over the rest of my car and fixing little dings here and there. It's those little things that can go a long way. My rear bumper looks brand new and I was impressed with the workmanship. I definitely will be referring my friends to Karry's Auto Body.
San Francisco, CA
Karry's totally rocks! They not only do good work, but Karry is so nice! Here's my story: I just bought a brand new 2008 Honda Fit, the first new car I've had in 18 years. I drove it a week, and some flying object came careening out of nowhere, bounced off the hood, and left a nasty dent and scratch on my beautiful, pristine new car. Needless to say, I was upset. I looked up Karry's on Yelp,and proceeded over there. Karry looked at it, and offered to buff out the scratch on the spot!! Now there is a small indentation, but the scratch is almost gone. I love this guy and would use them again in a second.

I found Karry's Auto Body from Yelp reviews and am so appreciative for finding them. Karry helped me make the right decision at a time when I needed to make a quick decision under very difficult circumstances.
Earlier this spring I got into a car accident where the repairs by one auto body shop were estimated at $3,500-4,000. I took my 10-year old Honda Civic EX to Karry's, who gave me an estimate of $2,500-3,000 (so much lower and with an estimate I trusted – I knew Karry's would do quality repairs). Even though the estimate at Karry's was substantially lower, I was dubious of investing a few thousand dollars into a 10-year old car, even though it was all-paid-off and well-maintained. Plus, I had been considering selling my car anyway, since it is a bit of a nuisance to own one in SF.
I wasn't even a customer of Karry's, but he took the time to help me, nonetheless. It was a Saturday morning, the day after my accident on a rainy Friday night the day before, and I was outside Karry's shop with the tow-truck driver, who had coincidentally offered to buy my broken car for $1,000 cash. I was debating whether that was a fair offer. Karry took me into his office and we searched around on Craigslist at similar cars like mine – 10-year old Honda Civic EX's, manual transmission, sun-roof, 4-door, well maintained, and all-around good cars. Mine was valued at around $5,000-5,500 so with potential repairs of $3,000 and the doubtful proposition of selling a broken car (where the damages could potentially be more than aesthetic, as the drive shaft could have been damaged), Karry helped me assess that the $1,000 the tow-truck driver offered me, in cash, was fair. I maybe had a loss of $1,000 on the car's value, but I certainly didn't have the friends in…

I recently took Jezebel my 2yo Jetta here after a 92-year-old lady changed lanes into my parallel-parked car.
(BTW, I'm not even joking about that age, I took a camera pic of her driver's license. Apparently, her DL got renewed 6 months ago but, to quote her, "that doesn't mean I know how far right is right"… but I digress.)
My insurance company told me I could get work done at any shop and it would all be taken care of so after looking at Yelp, I went for Karry's.
I showed up one afternoon w/o any sort of appointment but Karry was right there to discuss the damage with me, which consisted of a scratch across both driver's side doors, damage to the front and rear panels and a torn tire as well as a damaged wheel rim. I left the car with him and the entire time it was with him, he was easy to communicate with about what was going on with both the insurance company and the car. When it was finally done, he stayed an hour and a half after closing so that I could pick it up before the weekend. When I did get it back, the inside was detailed and the work made Jezebel look almost brand new. He even buffed out and covered up some other, unrelated scratches for no extra charge.
I seriously owe this man a bottle of his favorite alcohol. If only there were a socially appropriate way to obtain that information….
San Francisco, CA
Wow wowwow!! I saw all the stars and thought "no way could they live up to that." But they did. They totally did.
My car's been a bit of a mess. And with no money and no time, I've had to let it ferment in the worst way, watching helplessly as it falls apart piece by piece like it has leprosy. But the worst of it was when my sunroof stuck open. Just before rainy season.
Now I'm moving my terrarium on wheels to another state. Still no time or money to fix things proper, but I at least wanted to get the sunroof closed, if not repaired, if not replaced, then at least closed so it wouldn't leak so bad. So I came to Karry's with no appointment, in the middle of a frantic pre-move day, and pleaded "Do something!"
Anyone in the last days before an interstate move knows the stress one can be under. Karry (or whoever the guy behind the desk was – I regret I didn't get his name) jumped up to help, looked over everything, cleaned out the rails of my sunroof, diagnosed the problem, and finally got it to close despite being (1) broken and (2) off its track. His bill? $Zero. $Nada. $Zip. $Nothing. I wanted to throw buckets of money at him, or at least a little sliver of plastic, but he just waved me off with a smile.
To be honest, I got a little tear in my eye as I drove away. You just don't find kindness like that in the city nowadays. Or at least I didn't think you did. I'm genuinely touched. Especially on a day like today, this place is a godsend. I only regret that I can't give them my business from this day forward.
The rear bumper of my VW Golf was completely damaged – someone hit my car trying to get out of a steep parking spot on Bush. Luckily, she left a note and promised to take care of all expenses. I went on Yelp and found six auto shops to get estimates from. Karry's was BY FAR the most resourceful, upfront & friendly auto shop owner I've encountered and his pricing was the best out of all six.
Aside from clearing payment from the woman who was covering the costs, my car was fixed in just days. I even got phone calls from Karry, checking in to let me know that parts have arrived and when work was being done. My car was beautiful (and even cleaned inside and out) when I picked it up.
I was very happy with the service and will definitely recommend Karry's Auto Body! Thanks, Karry!
San Francisco, CA
I cannot rave enough about the amazing job that Karry did with both my Mercedes SL 500 and S550. The SL had a badly cracked front bumper. Not only was the cost to repair less than half the cost of replacing the bumper, butKarry's did such a fantastic job that it is impossible to tell that it was ever damaged. I am very particular about this car, since I love it so much, so it was very important that the repair was done perfectly. They were also very speedy (took 2 days to complete the work) and customer service oriented (gave me a ride to an appointment I had that was in the neighborhood). Karry even investigated and fixed a tire pressure problem that I was having and now everything is perfect.
My fiancée had an accident in his S550, which damaged the car's rear bumper, tail-light and moldings. Again after the work was completed, you could not even tell that anything had ever happened to the car. Beautiful work and done in a couple of days. My fiancée is even more particular about his car than me and he could not stop praising Karry's.
The piece de restistance was that Karry's also washed both cars prior to pick-up, which made for a terrific finishing touch.
I cannot recommend Karry's enough. Karry Man the owner is so incredibly customer service-oriented, knowledgeable and timely. He generated a detailed quote on the spot which perfectly matched the ultimate cost of the repairs. His pricing is very fair and the the work that his shop does is superb.
San Francisco, CA
My 2001 VW Passat Wagon was rear-ended and after doing my research, I went to Karry's. Not only did he provide a free estimate (damage to the bumper and lift gate), he worked with the other party's insurance adjuster to agree on costs. Karry called me to let me know when he would start work on my car and also let me know he thought it would take a week to get the repairs done. Lo and behold, a week later my car was fixed and ready to go. As soon as I saw my car, I knew I had made a great decision in choosing Karry. The bumper was brand new and the lift gate looked spectacular; I can't remember when the car looked so nice! It was clean and spotless too and at no extra charge. What's even better is that there's a lifetime guarantee for his work and he even painted over some scratches on the front bumper too — at no cost! Karry let me know additional damage was found after he removed the bumper, but he worked with the insurance company to get it fixed. No hassles for me at all; simply superb! Karry handled everything for me.
Karry is absolutely amazing. I hope none of my friends have the unfortunate circumstance of being involved in an auto accident, but if they do, I'm totally recommending they go to him. He's honest, fair, and just a nice guy — you can't find people (or shop owners) like him these days!
San Francisco, CA
Just reflecting many of the other reviews… Karry knows what he's doing, and isn't out to cheat you/rip you off – unlike all the dealerships and many other garages out there.
I took my BMW Z4 here for some much-needed bodywork (3+ years of city dents, some damage by highway debris et al).
- I was paying out of pocket, so got a hefty discount.
- Karry explained everything to me in detail including what parts they needed etc
- I found this to be cheaper than a couple other places I tried (one in Palo Alto, one in the SoBay)
- Flexible in giving you estimates with different combinations of things you want to get done. I hate it when they refuse to tell you the difference if you "didn't get x done but got y done instead" – it's just clicks on your computer, how difficult is that?!
- I got back my car in time with 1 minor thing remaining since the part didn't arrive… but they were very nice about me bringing the car in again whenever I had time (even a month later)
The bodywork is still holding as of several months later (fingers crossed), so no complaints!
San Francisco, CA
Another 5 star review for Karry's.
I baby my Mercedes SLK but it's gotten a few scrapes on the spoiler from concrete parking stoppers (like at Trader Joes… ughh). I checked Yelp and loved that Karry had so many positive reviews. I went in for an estimate and was happy with the price.
I brought the car in and it was finished as promised. It looks great and I'm really happy with the job they did. The price and service were great. If I have anymore auto body repairs, I'm going to Karry.
Thanks Karry and company!

Update – 4/2/2010
Dropped by Karry's last month after a minor accident to get a quote. Karry ended up cleaning off the paint at NO CHARGE! He's such an honest guy! Highly recommended!!
San Francisco, CA
this place is great i took my BMW x3 there to get a dent fix and they gave me a great deal and did a great job i'm even going back to get some other stuff fixed that another auto place messed up real bad.
San Francisco, CA
Karry's was amazing. I brought my Audi A3 in for an estimate for MANY nicks and scratches. I told Karry that I am tired of having the car "permanently fixed" every time someone scratches it, which seems to happen every week. Karry said I could bring it back the next day and that he would touch-up all the scratches and make that no areas are in danger of rusting. The car was ready in 2 hours. The price was INCREDIBLE. And, he even gave me the extra paint.
I have several new scratches and I will definitely go back to Karry's
San Francisco, CA
I just picked my car up and had the trunk, and both bumpers redone. Have an Audi A4 so it had a high end finish. I was TOTALLY blown away with the high quality of the work. I could not tell that it was not a new out of the dealer job. He was the lowest bid I got and significantly below the dealer and so I was worried. He did a quality job, did it on time and was very easy to deal with. What a nice surprise. Plus, they found a $50 dollar bill I dropped under my seat and guess what……I got it back. Could not recommend him more highly. Karry Man is the owner.
San Francisco, CA
Karry's was the easiest & most pleasant experience I've probably ever had when getting car repairs! Karry's estimate was very reasonable, (I went for a grille replacement & a dented front door/fender) and he told me the repairs would take about a week. 2 days later, he called & told me my car would be finished the next day! When I got to the shop, Karry asked me if I had seen my car, and since I hadn't seen it yet, he walked me out the door to check it out. When I saw my 99 Volkswagen Jetta, I literally squealed! My car looked just about as good as the day I bought it!! I hadn't seen the car shine like that in at least 7 or 8 years!! Karry& his team had done some additional painting, washed, & waxed the entire car!! It looks AMAZING! I didn't know the car could still look like that. Had it not been inappropriate, I would have jumped on Karry& given him a big bear hug. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!
San Francisco, CA
Update – 9/1/2009
This is my second 5-star review for Karry. This time, I brought in my dad's Lexus SUV on 8/25/09. The front and rear bumpers needed to be fixed and a cracked windshield replaced. I wanted to save money and requested the bumpers not be 100% perfect. The job was completed a day early on 8/31, the car was clean, and the bumpers looked perfect! My co-worker referred me to Karry and he earned my trust when he helped me with my car. I highly recommend him. However, I don't want to see him anytime soon!
San Francisco, CA
I'm an idiot when it comes to cars. I don't want to deal when mine breaks. What's great about Karry is he takes care of EVERYTHING. You basically just drop off your car and he takes care of the rest, even the messy stuff with insurance companies (hint, hint!).
My poor toyota was hit twice in the span of two months while parked on the streets of SF. Once, a car rolled backward into it on Fell while it was parked and smashed in the front hood. The second time, my drunk limo-driving neighbor rammed off my bumper in front of my apartment. Both times, Karry took care of me immediately and dealt with the AAA insurance folks. He even fixed up some other dents and scratches for free.
Big thumbs up!
San Francisco, CA
My poor Honda was hit this year and I decided to take it to Karry's after reading all the great reviews here. Truth be told I am very happy with how great of a job they did and in a much timely manner.
The minute I dropped off my car it all went smoothly with the insurance and the repair. Glad to have my car back and really appreciate the great service I received.
San Francisco, CA
This is my 1st review. I like NOT being nickled and dimed. First let's go back a bit shall we?
This past weekend a moment of carelessness left my 2010 brand new oversized BMW X5 with some damage after scraping against my classically undersized SF garage frame. Now, I've always been a do-it-yourself sort of handy-guy, but I've come to two realizations: 1. Every craft has its own intricacies, special tools, and tricks that come with years of experience, and 2. I value my sanity more than saving a few bucks, so I did what's sensible, yelp around for a good repair shop. I called on Wednesday and set an appointment for 9am Friday at Karry's Auto Body Center.
I arrived for my appointment and was immediately greeted in a fashion reminiscent of a Waldorf Astoria Doorman. Almost instantaneously, Karry Man got two of his guys on the job, one to remove stubbornly stuck garage door frame paint from the area (and polish it), and the other to disassemble a portion of the front bumper in order to re-attach a reflector lens. He said it would take 10 minutes so I decided to go get coffee. I took my time and noted that the general area has lots and lots of Auto Body Shops, all of which seemed to be at various stages of opening (at the time Karry's was in full swing). I came back just in time to see the re-assembly of the bumper, which included a "rivet tool" which I know I don't have. All in all the work took 30 minutes and it looked fantastic! I was concerned, as that kinda service usually costs a pretty penny, so I mentioned that I was "self-pay", as he offers 25% off labor for self-pay (no insurance) customers. As it turned out, his price was very reasonable, the work was excellent, and I'm ecstatic…

There is a reason why Karry's has such excellent reviews – Kerry and his staff are both professional and get the job done. The prices are reasonable and the quality of the repairs cannot be beat. My Prius needed some work done after an accident and based on the great reviews on Yelp I knew exactly where I needed to go.
Kerry personally called and updated me with every issue that came up and returned my car in perfect shape. He took the time to explain all of the repairs and his staff washed my car before it was returned to me. This is a great body shop that I would recommend without hesitation
San Francisco, CA
Karry is awesome! So is Veronica the front desk girl, she answered all my dumb questions about how to deal with insurance guys. I have always had 15 year old beaters n could care less if someone hit them. last year I got a 2010 Yaris. A very nice lady hit it when it was parked by Lake Merritt a few weeks ago, she left a note with her name n number of her insurance company, century 21.
Karry had my car looking shinny n new in 4 days!!!!
San Francisco, CA
Several months ago someone pulling out of a parking space hit my rear bumper. Their paint was on my car and it was scratched pretty bad. I went to get a quote from another auto body place and was quoted $275. The place I got the quote from was busy and it seemed like a good price.
I then thought I would get an estimate at the highest rated autobodyplace which happens to be Karry's. I go in without an appointment and was told by a tatted guy that Karry just stepped out. I guess Karry does all the estimates himself. I wait for a couple of minutes and Karry shows up. I show him the car and guess how much he quoted me? Zero. Zip. Nada.
Karry informs me that I got a paint transfer. He then goes into his shop and takes out some paint remover and wipes the "scratches" from my car's bumper. The other guys who won't be mentioned, was going to charge me $250 for wiping down my bumper.
Karry doesn't ask for payment and I tell him that "no wonder you guys are rated #1 on yelp". What an honest dude.
Do yourself a favor, if you are looking for a repputable place, backed up by 5 Star reviews you should check this place out. THANKS KARRY!

After finally getting my 13-piece stainless mesh grille combo and matching exhaustpipe surround, I realized that installation would not have been nearly as simple as implied on the website, and I wasn't about to risk destroying my new Corvette Grand Sport.
But before contacting the mesh grille manufacturer for recommendations on an installer, I found Karry's and a sizeable stack of glowing reviews here.
I met with him late last week. He told me it would take a full day involving lots of complicated disassembly, but when he quoted me a very reasonable $300, I jumped at it, even though I was pretty convinced that the price would somehow double, or triple as the job progressed. And by the end of the day, when he called to tell me that there was 1 final piece he couldn't attach (and that I would have to bring the car back the following week for another full day), I was sure the quote would skyrocket.
However, when I showed up, he asked me to wait around a short while, that they were able to figure it out and it would be done.
And sure enough, the bill was a VERY REASONABLE $300! Karry and Veronica (in the front office) were genuine, personable people … something you don't often find in this type of environment. I wouldn't hesitate to go back there, though I hope and pray I don't go overboard and end up pimping my ride…!.
San Francisco, CA
just the facts:
(1) brought in my audi a4 to fix a few dings that accumulated over the years. my car came back perfect on time and on budget,
(2) karry and his staff provided friendly service and timely phone updates
(3) when he saw the scratch on my girlfriend's car, he told us he could buff it out which he did COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE.
folks, it doesn't get much better than this. go to karry's.
San Francisco, CA
This was the second time I went to Karry. I first took my BMW there when a U-Haul truck was backed into my 3-series sedan. He fixed me up good as new and jumped through the hoops with the insurance company to get the job done in a few days.
This time someone rear ended my girlfriend's Acura RDX and it was in need of some bumper repair. Karry again was the most reasonable quote and also cut the girl (who hit her) a break by cutting the rate on labor because she was paying in cash. I took the car in Monday morning, and it was finished Tuesday night (no joke). The work was impeccable, and the paint match was exact.
I am definitely someone who babies their cars and has a high attention to detail when working on my car. I was thoroughly impressed with the work and the warranty on both jobs Karry did for me. In addition, he is a true professional. Accurate quotes, appropriate expectations, and delivers on time. I wish more businesses ran this way.
San Francisco, CA
Karrys' already gets a lot of 5 star reviews, but I am writing this in response to the set of reviews that mention a lack of quality.
Short answer: Quality is superb.
First, let me mention I knew nothing about Karry's until I needed my car to be repaired and looked up places on Yelp, and I get nothing from posting this.
I have a relatively new 2009 Audi A4, and one day I smashed the heck out of it in my garage. The entire side of the door was scraped with a nasty maybe 18 inch indentation along the side. The Audi dealer wanted multiple thousands of dollars to fix it.
I went to a number of places to get estimates and Karry's was the lowest, being many times less than the dealer.
I was a little worried about the quality after reading a couple of negative reviews and given this was a relatively new car, but decided to go for it anyways.
I was pretty amazed with the result. This is a pretty new car, and when I got it back, I could not at all tell anything was wrong with the car. It literally came back as if it were new. Karrys did an AMAZING job.
San Francisco, CA
People dont plan to fail, they fail to plan!!!
First of all, Let me tell you that I'm a very picky person when it comes to getting my cars worked on. I can honestly say that I found Karry's Auto Body Center to be one of the best!!!!
We took our 03 Mercedes SL-500 to have some paint work done and when I received it back in 4 days, It turned out better then I anticipated. The staff are all very polite, Karry has stepped up his already awsome Customer Service to another level by adding a very professional and knowledgeable member to his team, Regina is AWSOME!!!!
Two days after we had the paint done, I messed up the front bumper cover and the AMG kit in a minor accident, I immediately called Karry, He was very concerned about us and told me he will take care of our car and put it back together like new.
Again when we picked up my car, Karry and Regina made sure that our car was Perfect!!!! I will continue to use Karry for all my auto body needs, I HIGHLY recommend Karry, THANK YOU TEAM KARRY!!!!

Floyd Mayweather Set Up His Ex-Girlfriend With Burglary Claims
BOSSIP Exclusive: Did Floyd Mayweather Have His Ex-Girlfriend's Crib Robbed And Set Her Up For The Fall?
Last week we told you Floyd Mayweather's lady friend Princess Love allegedly tried to stick him for his paper and 8 Rolexes, but insiders close to the situation tells us that not only did the robbery only involve 2 Rolexes, but that Floyd may have been behind the whole thing himself because he was angry the beauty left him!!!
"Princess Love no longer wanted to be with Floyd Mayweather," a pal told BOSSIP exclusively. "He lied to her about Miss Jackson and many other things and as his lies started to unravel she realized how much she did not want to be a part of that."
The source tells us that Princess Love's departure came DURING THE FIGHT (Mayweather vs. Alvarez), long before 50 Cent posted the now infamous "Repo" instagram post:
Our source also tells us that 50 Cent and Mayweather's friendship is truly a wrap and 50's outburst was likely at the urging of Miss Jackson, who has her own motives for making her one-time rival for Floyd's affections look bad.
Hit the flip for more
The source told BOSSIP that the couple squabbled over seating arrangements at the fight (you may recall that Ms. Jackson was seated ringside). Would you be upset in the same situation? If you were told that she was the ex and you were his girl?
It was after this exchange that Princess' crib was "robbed."
When Princess Love discovered her things had been robbed, she contacted Floyd.
"A robbery did happen but it was Floyd who had sent his assistant to break into where Princess lived and take only a select few items while she was at the fight," the source told BOSSIP. "He continued to insist that her friends had most likely robbed her and that he was the only person she could trust. This was an attempt to get her to cut all ties to friends and move closer to him so that he could have total control. He lied and manipulated, so when he had slipped up about certain information regarding the robbery everything had become clear."
We do recall Josie Harris, Floyd's ex and most famous baby mama, speaking at length about Floyd's controlling behavior.
Hit the flip for more on that and text messages from the boxing champ himself that show the role he played in this charade.
"Money, fame, popularity and smiling in front of the camera doesn't make you a good person," the source tells BOSSIP. "It allows you to hide who you really are. Floyd Mayweather is a very controlling person, he likes to control every aspect of his life and when things aren't his way he turns to what money can do for him."
SMH. We thought our love lives were complicated but this ish is cray!
Hit the flip for texts from Floyd that seem to suggest he is feeding negative stories about Princess Love to the media.
Our source was able to provide a number of text messages from Floyd, including this one, which was sent before reports about the robbery came out. As you can see, someone is extremely angry he's being ignored and even threatens "don't be mad about the stuff coming out."
The source also tells us that this isn't the first time Mayweather has resorted to robbery for control and he's pulled similar tactics with Ms. Jackson as well. It's been well documented (thanks Instagram) how Floyd's girlfriends depend on him because they don't work, it works out well for him because he's able to control them better when they need him for money!
"I know for a fact that he wants the women he is involved with to completely rely on him," the insider told BOSSIP. "Just how he was extremely against Princess Love going back to school or starting her own clothing line. Now as everyone can see, she is free to do as she pleases, is pursuing her fashion dreams and that obviously pisses him off. Why else did he never mention the fact that they were no longer together when all of these things came out? Because he would much rather people see him as the victim and tarnish her name instead."
SMH @ homeboy playing the nostalgia card…
Continue Slideshow
Her friend tells BOSSIP that after Princess Love posted some of these texts on Instagram, her account was deactivated.
The 6 watches "stolen" in the robbery at Princess Love's crib — note that only 2 are Rolexes.

1Kansas 62 - 67 9Michigan State
Suton, Lucas push Michigan State to elite eightMar 28, 2009 - 5:19 AM INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Kalin Lucas couldn't shoot straight for 39 minutes. He made up for those misses in a hurry.
Lucas scored seven points in the final 49 seconds, including 5-for-5 on free throws, to help Michigan State rally for a 67-62 win over defending national champion Kansas Friday night in the Midwest Regional semifinals.
Lucas shot just 5-for-15 from the field, but his teammates remained confident in their floor leader, who was the Big Ten player of the year. Lucas was matched up with Kansas' Sherron Collins, who scored 20 points but was thoroughly outplayed late in the game.
"You know, I think the type of person Kalin is, when he gets another big-time guard, he wants to kind of prove himself to the nation," Michigan State guard Travis Walton said. "Today, I think he took it personal."
Goran Suton had a season-high 20 points to go with nine rebounds and five steals for Michigan State (29-6).
Michigan State overcame a 13-point deficit in the first half and advanced to play Louisville on Sunday for a trip to the Final Four. The top-seeded Cardinals defeated Arizona 103-64 earlier in the night.
"This year I've gone by feel. And sometimes I just feel sick, and it seems to work out," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.
The Spartans beat Kansas with fundamentals. The Spartans went 16 of 17 from the free throw line and committed just 13 turnovers.
Cole Aldrich had 17 points and 14 rebounds for Kansas (27-7). The Jayhawks responded to every Michigan State rally except the final one.
"It means so much to everybody," Aldrich said. "It's not just everybody in the locker room, it's everybody that puts on a KU shirt. Everybody is hit hard because we had our chances and we didn't capitalize on them."
Kansas came much closer to a repeat than many experts anticipated. Most of the stars from last year's run jumped to the NBA, and the Jayhawks have no senior starters.
"A bunch of young kids came in here and competed hard and weren't in awe of the atmosphere and the stakes," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "You know, we gave them a run. We just didn't finish the game."
Kansas led 60-57 when Michigan State's Durrell Summers was fouled. He made the first of two free throws, and the Spartans came up with the offensive rebound when he missed the second. Raymar Morgan, who hadn't made a basket the entire game, dunked to tie it at 60 with 1:46 to play.
On Michigan State's next possession, Lucas spun, pump-faked in the lane, drew contact from Collins, then dropped in a shot. He made the free throw to put the Spartans ahead 63-60 with 48 seconds left.
"It wasn't a set play," Lucas said. "One thing, the shot clock was going down. That's all I tried to do, tried to create. I just got lucky and I got him with the bump and I scored."
Self said Lucas came through when no one did for the Jayhawks.
"If you look at that possession, and they let Lucas take the ball and try and create something in the middle," he said.
Kansas' Tyshawn Taylor made two free throws with 32 seconds left, then Lucas came back with two at the other end to make it 65-62.
Collins was fouled with 20 seconds to play. He missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Michigan State came up with the ball. Lucas made two more free throws with 14.4 seconds left to seal the game.
Kansas led 36-29 at halftime, but Michigan State started strong after the break. Draymond Green scored from in close and was fouled, and his 3-point play cut Kansas' lead to 40-39 just three minutes into the second half. Suton tied it at 42 on a 3-pointer with just over 15 minutes remaining.
Aldrich scored twice during a 6-0 run to put the Jayhawks up 48-42, but their lead didn't last. A pull-up jumper in the lane by Walton gave Michigan State a 51-49 edge, the Spartans' first advantage since the early minutes of the game.
Michigan State defeated Kansas 75-62 on Jan. 10 in East Lansing, Mich., after the young Jayhawks fell behind 37-18 at halftime.
This time, Kansas got off to the quick start. The Jayhawks took a 9-2 lead in the opening minutes, highlighted by a 3-pointer and a layup by Collins.
A dunk by Brady Morningstar, the final basket during an 11-0 run over a four-minute span, gave Kansas a 26-16 lead.
The Jayhawks pushed their lead to 32-19 before the Spartans rallied late in the half. Michigan State chopped the lead to 34-27 before Aldrich hit a long 2-pointer from the top of the key with 18 seconds left in the half.
Suton appeared to make a long jumper as time expired in the first half, but the officials waved it off. After review, he was awarded the basket.
Kansas couldn't maintain that level of play, and its title reign ended.
"I'm probably not really feeling like reflecting right now, but I do think this: We weren't a very good basketball team early," Self said. "The guys really came together. They gave us a chance to be good. We had players step up all year long, and we really became a good team."

Despite the wealth of perhaps far more interesting themes that I could explore, I'm instead going to share a sedate photograph of a shop front from my own collection, one which has little in common with that sad scene from the Depression era. It is a loose paper print (149.5 x 109.5 mm) which may at one time have been mounted on card, although all sign of that has long since disappeared, along with its provenance and any external identification of the subjects.
The shop front is that of W. Barnes & Co who, according to the signs, offer a full range of services: glovers, general drapers, milliners/hat specialists, mercers and tailors. I'm guessing that it's winter as they are offering "warm winter gloves" and "jumpers." The group arrayed in and around the front doorway consist of two men and six women. From the women's hairstyles, I'm guessing that it dates from either just before or during the Great War, say between 1910 and 1916ish. A tradesman's bicycle with the firm's name on it is leaning against the window. The shop forms the ground floor of what appears to be a three-storey building. The doorway and the left hand display window are illuminated by electric lights. The pavement is formed, but a little uneven, and the roadway looks to be rather muddy.
If anyone knows where W. Barnes & Co. plied their trade, or can ferret out further clues as to their location, please do leave a hint in the form of a comment below. For the moment, we'll have to just enjoy the photograph, and perhaps some others offered over at Sepia Saturday.

Back Home Friday Night
Travel itinerary estimated the arrival from Miami to be 3 a.m. today. Probably a bunch of bleary-eyed players got off the Delta charter but today's a day off so there's plenty of time for some rest.
Doc became the league's first 19-game winner as he beat the Marlins for the fourth time. He struck out nine and did not issue a walk over his six innings. It's the fourth game this season in which he struck out at least nine batters and did not give up a walk, the highest such total for any pitcher in the major leagues. His control is amazing.
Offense had a strange series against the Marlins scoring 11, 2 and 10 runs in the three games. But, the bottom line, all three games were wins. Starting pitching has been phenomenal.
So it is back home for nine sold-out games then the final six on the road. Edge appears to be on the Phillies side. But as Charlie has preached, one game at a time. Not too giddy when things are going good and not too low when things aren't.
Tomorrow night's game with the Nationals will be aired in the Braves' and Mets' markets by the MLB Network. ESPN will carry next Wednesday night's game with the Braves.
LC Signing
Larry Christenson will be signing autographs tomorrow night (5:15-6:00) at Mitchell & Ness' Alley Store in Ashburn Alley.
Happy Birthday
Phillies Alumni who are celebrating today include RHP Rogers McKee (84), C Mark Parent (49) and SS Desi Relaford (37).
Thanks for the birthday wishes. Didn't mention it because birthdays shouldn't be counted when you reach a certain age. But, let the record show, I'm 2. You fill in the rest.
Series Resumes
The Greenville Drive and Lakewood BlueClaws resume their best-of-5 South Atlantic League Championship Series tonight at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, 7:05. Series is tied, 1-1. Game 4 is tomorrow night at Lakewood as is Game 5 on Saturday, if that game is necessary.
20-year-old RHP Brody Colvin will start tonight. He was 6-8 with a 3.38 ERA for the season. After May 12, 4-3 with a 2.00 ERA. He was a 7th-round pick in 2009 and was on campus at LSU when he decided to sign with the Phillies at the deadline last August.

English Rugby
Dawson in Twitter attack on Ackford
ESPN Staff
January 11, 2013
Former England scrum-half Matt Dawson remains unhappy about a piece Paul Ackford wrote about him several years ago © Getty Images
Former England scrum-half Matt Dawson has launched a stinging attack on another ex-international and now journalist Paul Ackford.
Dawson, a Rugby World Cup winner in 2003, took to micro-blogging site Twitter to delight at unconfirmed reports that Ackford had parted company with the Sunday Telegraph newspaper. "What fab news!! Allegedly Paul Ackford is done at the Sun Telegraph," he wrote. "Good riddance u bitter man! harsh but he knows why."
The exact reason behind the 40-year-old's outburst is unclear although it is thought to stem from a critical piece penned by Ackford, who earned 25 Test caps for England the Lions during his playing career, in the wake of Dawson's retirement from the game in 2006. "In 2006 Ackford printed the news of my retirement as good as the banning of a drugs cheat," Dawson added.
Dawson is thought to be referring to Ackford's review of the 2005-06 season where he bracketed Dawson's retirement with the suspension of former Australia international Wendell Sailor for a positive drugs test under a headline that read: "Goodbye and good riddance".
It continued: "Matt Dawson (England), a hugely talented man but, boy, doesn't he know it? Lansdowne Road (Ireland) and Wendell Sailor (Australia). Sailor, 31, is currently suspended, awaiting examination of his B sample, having returned a positive drug test last month."
It is not the first time that Dawson, a veteran of three British & Irish Lions tours, has been critical of Ackford. In his 2004 autobiography Nine Lives, Dawson spoke of how he had deeply 'resented' an article by Ackford that allegedly questioned his attitude and professionalism.
Dawson's comments have drawn a mixed response from his Twitter following that numbers in excess of 182,000. Among the critics was another former England international Brian Moore who wrote: "Matt this is making you look childish."
He later appeared to play down his original Tweet, adding: "I haven't sat about crying into my Bordeaux waiting for Ackford to leave. It just so happens it made a good Tweet. I'm still my happy go lucky simple soul looking forward to every day with my friends and family."

Sir J(oseph) J(ohn) 1856–1940
British physicist who discovered the electron in 1897. While experimenting with cathode rays, he deduced that the particles he observed were smaller than an atom. Thomson also made noteworthy studies of the conduction of electricity through gases. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1906.
Biography Nowadays we take for granted the existence of electrons, but this was not true just over 100 years ago, when the atom was thought to be a single unit that had no parts. The breakthroughs came in the late 1890s, when the British physicist J. J. Thomson was studying what we now call cathode-ray tubes. As an electric current passed from the cathode at one end of the tube to the anode at the other, raylike emanations were seen to proceed from the cathode to the anode. Thomson examined the nature of the rays' charge by bringing a positively charged and a negatively charged plate near the path of the rays, and observed that the rays were deflected toward the positive plate, suggesting they had negative charge. A series of experiments in which various objects were placed in the path of the rays showed that they also had momentum (they would cause a small paddle wheel to turn, for example). If they had momentum, that meant (in the physics of the time) that they had mass, suggesting that the rays were composed of tiny particles. Other experimental results, some by other scientists, suggested that the ratio of the charge to the mass of these particles had to be less than one-thousandth the ratio for charged hydrogen atoms. By examining both the energy of the rays and the amount by which an electric charge deflected them, Thomson was able to calculate that these particles had one two-thousandth the mass of a hydrogen atom. The particles, first named corpuscles, were later called electrons. (The term electron was not completely new; it had been invented in 1891 for the rays themselves.) Thomson was thus the first to discover that particles smaller than atoms existed, and for his pioneering work he was awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize for physics.

With summer now officially in full force, I can't help but fantasize about all the summer road trips I'd like to take. And what evokes the great American road trip more than Route 66? Connecting Chicago to Los Angeles, this 2,400-mile stretch of road has captivated the imagination and incited wanderlust since its completion in 1937.
Although Route 66 was officially decommissioned in 1985, we can still get our kicks and see the vintage vestiges of America's most famous highway.
6 Must-See Route 66 Attractions
If you're making the cross-country road trip this year, do it like the old-timers by heading east to west. And, of course, check out these 6 must-see attractions along the way.
1. Grant Park — Chicago, Illinois
Route 66 officially begins right at the entrance of Grant Park. Aside from being the starting point of "The Main Street of America," Grant Park also hosted the 1893 World's Fair — where Cracker Jack made its sweet debut and Pabst won its iconic blue ribbon.
What to look for: the "End Historic Route 66" sign.
Where to find it: intersection of Jackson Boulevard and Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois
2. 66 Drive-In — Carthage, Missouri
On such a long journey, you're going to need some entertainment along the way. Why not stop at one of the few remaining drive-in theaters and catch a flick or 2 (the second movie is free)? A lot has changed since the theater opened in 1949, including the death of the drive-in, but you can watch movies the way road-weary travelers did.
What to look for: the original neon sign, playground, and Art Deco concession stand and ticket booth.
Where to find it: 17231 Old Route 66 Boulevard, Carthage (Brooklyn Heights), Missouri.
3. Milk Bottle Grocery — Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Route 66 is known for kitsch. And a giant milk bottle crowning a tiny, triangular building spells kitsch like no other. The eponymous grocery store is gone, but in its place is Saigon Baguette. If the sight of all that milk leaves you craving refreshments, stop in for a banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) and iced coffee.
What to look for: It's a giant milk bottle. How can you miss it?
Where to find it: 2426 North Classen Boulevard, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
4. Cadillac Ranch — Amarillo, Texas
Originally commissioned by Stanley Marsh 3 as an art installation in 1973, Cadillac Ranch is just weird enough to make it one of the most popular tourist attractions along Route 66. After all, where else are you going to find 10 graffitied Cadillacs buried nose-down in the ground?
What to bring: spray paint! Cadillac Ranch is one of the few places where you can release your inner artiste and graffiti to your heart's content.
Where to find it: along I-40 (old Route 66), just outside Amarillo.
5. Wigwam Village Motel #6 — Holbrook, Arizona
Teepees made of concrete and steel … that you can sleep in! Sure, you could find bigger hotels, but you can't beat the vintage vibe and the bragging rights. I mean, "have you slept in a wigwam lately?"
What to look for: original handmade hickory furniture, classic cars, and Route 66 memorabilia.
Where to find it: 811 West Hopi Drive, Holbrook, Arizona.
6. Santa Monica Pier — Santa Monica, California
Where Route 66 ends is continually debated. For some, it's at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Lincoln Boulevard. For others, it's at Santa Monica Boulevard and Ocean Avenue. Regardless of who's right, Santa Monica Pier has been the de facto end of Route 66. In 2009, it became the official one.
And why not? Where else can you go after you reach land's end?
What to look for: the historic carousel and hippodrome, Ferris wheel, street performers, and of course, the "end of the trail" sign.
Where to find it: 200 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, California.

If you ever wondered about how highways got started anyway, here's an overview on "the greatest public works project in history." Plus, the hotly debated history of seat belts.

What WiFi Standard Wireless Router to Buy?
Share Printer Friendly
Text Size: A A A A
There are several versions of the 802.11x WiFi standard, so before you buy WiFi gear, you should know what you're paying for because some are much faster than others.
The 802.11b standard was the first one to be ratified, and equipment that adheres to it is the least expensive. (This is the standard commonly used by public wireless hot spots in coffee shops, airports, hotels, and other locations.)
It operates in the 2.4GHz part of the spectrum and its maximum throughput is 11Mbps. Vendors like Cisco often prefer using these frequencies to lower their production costs.
Being unregulated, 802.11b gear can incur interference from appliances like microwave ovens, cordless phones, and other appliances using the same 2.4 GHz range. However, by installing 802.11b gear a reasonable distance from other appliances, interference can easily be avoided.
The newer standard, 802.11g, operates in the same part of the spectrum and has a maximum throughput of 54Mbps, significantly faster than 802.11b. You won't pay much extra for 802.11g gear compared to 802.11b, so if you're buying all your equipment from scratch, it's the best bet.
802.11b and 802.11g equipment work with each other, although with one "gotcha" that you need to watch out for. If you mix and match 802.11g and 802.11b equipment, the entire network will operate at the lower 802.11b speed.
So, if you have an 802.11g router and 802.11b adapter, the network will run at the slower speed. In fact, if you have an 802.11g router, three 802.11g adapters, and one 802.11b adapter, the entire network will still run at the lower speed, even between the 802.11g adapters and the 802.11g router.
The upshot: if you're going with 802.11g, make sure every piece of your equipment is 802.11g, not 802.11b.
You also might come across 802.11g routers and adapters that promise speeds far greater than 802.11g, commonly at 108Mbps. That works only when you buy all the hardware from the same manufacturer because they use proprietary protocols to reach those speeds. If you mix and match components from different manufacturers, you'll get normal 802.11g speeds.
The newest IEEE standard in the Wi-Fi category is 802.11n. It was designed to improve on 802.11g in the amount of bandwidth supported by utilizing multiple wireless signals and antennas (called MIMO technology) instead of one.
When this standard is finalized, 802.11n connections should support data rates of over 100 Mbps. 802.11n also offers somewhat better range over earlier Wi-Fi standards due to its increased signal intensity. 802.11n equipment will be backward compatible with 802.11g gear.
The upside of 802.11n is that it has the fastest maximum speed and best signal range; more resistant to signal interference from outside sources. The drawback is that this standard is not yet finalized and it costs more than 802.11g.
So as of now, your best bet is 802.11g since most likely the laptop that you will buy today supports this standard.

Welcome to the Royall House and Slave Quarters
In the eighteenth century, the Royall House and Slave Quarters was home to the largest slaveholding family in Massachusetts and the enslaved Africans who made their lavish way of life possible. Today, the Royall House and Slave Quarters is a museum whose architecture, household items, archaeological artifacts, and programs bear witness to intertwined stories of wealth and bondage, set against the backdrop of America's quest for independence.
The Slave Quarters is the only remaining such structure in the northern United States, and the Royall House is among the finest colonial-era buildings in New England. The museum is open to the public for tours on weekends from May through October, while school and group tours are available from mid-March to mid-November. The museum also presents a range of public programs throughout the year. Members receive free admission to the museum and free or discounted admission to most programs.

Celebrate the Journey
The National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help is a place for all who seek help and healing through the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Whether you are Catholic or not, whether you believe or are still searching for faith, you are welcome here. Following the example of Adele Brise, who first encountered the Queen of Heaven at this site, we journey together, seeking a deeper relationship with Christ through Mary.
Pilgrims from around the world have been experiencing the Shrine for over 150 years. The Catholic Church officially confirmed the Marian apparitions in 2010. And in 2016, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) officially designated these grounds as a National Shrine.
From where does your pilgrimage begin?

|Proximal tubule bicarbonate reclamation - Reference pathway + Dictyostelium
|One of the major tasks of the renal proximal tubule (PT) is to secrete acid into the tubule lumen, thereby reabsorbing approximately 80% of the filtered bicarbonate (HCO3(-)), as well as generating "new HCO3(-)" for regulating blood pH. In the tubular lumen, filtered HCO3(-) combines with H(+) in a reaction catalyzed by CA IV. The CO2 thus produced rapidly diffuses into the tubular cells and is combined with water to produce intracellular H(+) and HCO3(-), catalyzed by soluble cytoplasmic CA II. HCO3(-) is then cotransported with Na(+) into blood via the NBC-1. The intracellular H(+) produced by CA II is secreted into the tubular lumen predominantly via the NHE-3. The PT creates the "new HCO3(-)" by taking glutamine and metabolizing it to two molecules each of NH4(+) and HCO3(-). The NH4(+) is excreted into the tubular lumen, and the HCO3(-) , which is "new HCO3(-) ," is returned to the blood, where it replaces the HCO3(-) lost earlier in the titration of nonvolatile acids.

Prep notebook: No. 1 Rifle not dwelling on last season's playoff loss
Rifle is the No. 1 team in Class 3A, and has started 2-0 in 2012. The Bears went 10-0 in last year's regular season, and won in the first round of the playoffs before dropping a 36-15 game to eventual champion Windsor.
But Rifle's not dwelling on the past, senior running back Ryan Moeller said.
"It sucked losing, and ending, in the quarterfinals, but we were the first team at our high school to go 11-0, the second team to go 10-0 in the regular season," Moeller said. "But that's all last year, that's all in the past. It happened previous. We can think about that and everything, that's great, but it's not going to get anything done for this year, you know? It's all got to be on what we work on now." Read more…

About Pearl Izumi
For over five decades, Pearl Izumi has been building cycling clothing that's driven by function, plain and simple. It's no accident, rather it's a natural reflection of a brand that was born from a father making cycling clothing for his son. That loving attention to detail is evident in every piece of clothing that bears Pearl's ubiquitous logo. And when we say ubiquitous, we mean it. If you take a look around at your next group ride, odds are that you'll find more than one piece of the Japanese brand's gear, be it a jersey, their wildly popular bib shorts, or their feature-packed cycling shoes.
Don't think that Pearl's widespread appeal is a sign that this is generic stuff. On the contrary, pieces from the flagship P.R.O line are built to go toe-to-toe with the finest clothing options in the industry, and to do so at a price that reflects quality, rather than a name-brand premium. The breadth of the line is downright impressive, from the commuter-ready Elite Barrier jacket, to the revolutionary X-Project shoe series, which is designed to be comfortable for hike-a-bikes while still delivering the power transfer needed to win races.
That commitment to improving the cycling experience is evident in concepts like BioViz, an exclusive high-visibility concept that blends bright and reflective fabrics, high-contrast designs, and cutting-edge science intended to ensure that you're more visible to motorists, an in turn, safer on the road. This approach is backed up by a staggering amount of data collected during real-world tests, so you can be confident in knowing that BioViz is backed up by results and is proven in some of the most demanding conditions you'd likely ever face. Sure, it's a step beyond what others consider necessary, but anything less simply wouldn't be the Pearl Izumi way.

Not as exciting as Part 1, but...
I said it couldn't be done, but I was wrong. Casey managed to get a Porteur chain case to work with a rear derailleur and a 9-speed cassette. The clearances are tight, but it works perfectly. (Of course it won't work with a front derailleur.) The crank is a Grand Cru 110bcd fluted double, but with only one ring. A fair number of the original porteur bikes had 1X5 drive trains, so this modernized 1X9 is in keeping with tradition.
Speaking of single cranks, do you think we should get a single speed version of the 110bcd Grand Cru? It has more clearance that the 50.4bcd so is much easier to set up. And if so, what is the ideal chain ring size? I'm thinking 46t.
Some folks feel that the logo on the Grand Cru chainguard, in the previous post, is too big. Let me explain why I did it that way, even though I generally dislike oversize logos. The large logo on this chainguard follows a certain style of chainguard that I happen to love. Many companies made guards with their logos as part of the design. It was considered cool, even fashionable. My all time favorite is the CLB guard.
If you don't like this style then don't buy it; we already have plans to make another, minimal-logo, chainguard next year. The etching is super easy to change and we may change it every year. How about the circle containing a French rooster, sunflower, peace sign, yin and yang... Wonder if we should open up the design process and ask for submission from artistic customers? I've even considered making some blank ones that frame builders could have engraved with their own logos. But the Grand Cru design is what I wanted for my bike so that production run gets made first ;<)

Viewing posts from October, 2012
When geeks get hungry simply cooking an egg will never do. We have to apply technology and learn what is the best temperature for denaturation of proteins. Naturally a regular fried egg will never do. Poached eggs are much cooler and require a bit of manual dexterity and timing. Traditionally trained chefs learn this through lots of practice and heuristics. Heuristics will, of course, never do. Far too imprecise. We've got to get precise temperature control and use modern materials and technology to make the process more easily reproducable. So here goes:
When you find yourself awake at O-dark thirty in the morning working on the mystical incantations required to get varnish, the veritable duct-tape that caches the internet and makes your app seem performant, to do yet another unbelievably cool thing no one ever anticipated it should do - the sight of the sun coming up behind the curtains reminds you that you haven't eaten in a while. Having been traveling the last few weeks and too busy to catch up on grocery shopping I don't even have eggs to poach (sous-vide of course). Getting dressed and riding the motorcycle out to breakfast will surely break my rhythm and destroy my productivity.
Every semi-self aware human lives with an ongoing aprehension that the projection one gives about one's self to others is not entirely truthful and a forboding fear of being called out and discovered as a fraud. This gives rise to those little white lies that build up over time which, all too often, result in a sociopath who starts believing the self-decption or a self-loathing individual when the exaggerated expectations of one's self seem impossible to live up to. People lie to themselves first before they lie to others. It makes us all alone in our individual bodies and builds a dangerous barrier to true relationships. At its worse it is a vicious cycle where the sociopaths become dangerous to everyone they run across whlie the self loathers are even more dangerous to those who are so unfortunate as to love them.
Will be here http://sfbapi12.eventbrite.com/ tomorrow. Thanx to Scott Rafer for the pointer.
