There have been a handful of stories where Batman hasn't fully realized the exact method of ridding Gotham of crime.
I make a distinction between being unsure of what to do in a particular situation and not knowing which direction to take. Batman may not always know which method to use, but he does know what his goals are. In BB it seemed to me that he had no clue at all he wanted to fight crime until Ras came to him. That seems out of character to me.
It doesn't break the movie, but I think it would have made for a stronger character if Bruce had made up his mind already what he wanted to do and Ras just gave him the means.
I seriously am dumbfounded at this idea that he has to know exactly what he wants to do immediately like the comics.
It goes to the inner core of the character.
This is a movie, there has to be concessions.
We established that earlier. This doesn't fall under the category of concessions though. It's different approach the character, that was unnecessary. There was no need for a concession and I didn't much care for it.
This is not something that changes who Batman is at all.
Eventually no. You are correct, but it changes some of the details of the journey, unnecessarily. It's ultimately a minor point, but it is important. I didn't see any need to change it.
That's like saying in the Spider-Man movie Peter Parker to immediately become Spider-Man after going after the burgler, and not after graduating high school.
Peter is a very different type of character. He is often unsure of what to do in situations and waffles quite a bit. Batman is at heart a very decisive individual. That's a key difference, and one that BB played with against my liking.
It's inconsequential to complain about when Batman decided to train to fight crime, especially since he wasn't Batman at that point in his life.
Not really. It's the basic story of Batman. Immediately following his parents death me made a vow that he would train and study to become the dark avenger and punish criminals. That's actually key to the character. Ultimately it doesn't really affect the movie since I still enjoyed it, but the devil's in the details as they say.
There has to be concessions when making a movie about a character who has a long, varied history such as Batman. The end result is the same, he hated guns.
Obviously that was the point for her character, but that's just the way the movie was made to go, having a character from his personal history become a sort of moral anchor to guide his motivations in a certain way.
Which is where BB goes wrong in my opinion. Rachel Dawes was something of a meaningless character. In fact now that I think about it, that character should have been Harvey Dent from the start. And in retrospect it should have been Alfred to see what he was doing and to give him the talk. By having it be anyone other than Bruce or Alfred, influencing his decision, I think takes a little bit away from the character of Batman who is supremely motivated and has to be the master of his own fate.
You can dislike it all you want, but it is not a flaw because the end result is the same.
Conversely, you can like it all you want and it doesn't mean it isn't a flaw.
Batman has machine guns on both the Batmobile and Bat-Wing IIRC, and attempted to use said machine guns on the Joker.
I'd forgotten about that. Slight difference though. Those are on vehicles and not handguns. Batman has used guns on his vehicles in the comics as well. In Batman vs Predator 3 I seem to recall him using rubber bullets on the Batplane or whatever he used. I can't remember exactly.
If you hate that, read Batman Year Two where AFTER ALREADY HAVING BEEN BATMAN
I don't like that story very much. I also don't like the current one Kevin Smith wrote that has him peeing in his pants.
If you can't deal with that, don't watch a movie called "Batman Begins".
There you go again. Check yourself. You need to remember that this conversation is taking place in light of the fact that I love both Batman Begins and the Dark Knight.
Do you need every excruciating detail spelled out for you from the comics in the movies?
I established earlier that I don't. I won't do so again. Maybe you should go back and reread some previous post so you don't keep repeating yourself.
Seven years seems like a long enough time to me to become a badass.
Once again, not the issue. You should reread the previous posts. My issue isn't with the ninja training he received. It's mostly with the fact that in Batman Begins he didn't appear to get any education at all. Just physical ninja training, which somewhat negates the key aspect of Batman--his detective skills. The movie compensates for this by delegating most of the intellectual stuff to Fox which I am okay with to an extent, but Batman is almost completely a bruiser in the Nolan films. I don't like that. That's why getting an early start is a necessity.
In the Burton films he cracks the Joker's poisonous code so we got to see some of his detective skills at work. I felt that was the biggest flaw in the Nolan films. And when you are dealing with the world's greatest detective, that's a rather big flaw in my opinion.
But you can't just throw out "Uh, Batman would never use guns" and not acknowledge the context of the scene, or the point of the scene.
It's been acknowledged multiple times.
To me, that's missing the point and you haven't proved to me that you got the point.
I'm not saying you didn't,
You kind of did in the previous statement.
but you certainly haven't made it clear that you did.
Multiple times. You are just having a difficult time acknowledging that despite the fact that you're okay with, it could easily be viewed as out of character despite "context". I'm finished discussing this particular point.
But it's like 60% Nicholson, 40% Keaton.
Which is about the right ratio for a villain like the Joker. He's the driving force behind the plot. You also are overlooking the fact that without Jack Nicholson the movie was in jeopardy of not being made or making money. His part was expanded just to get the movie made.
And Batman Returns is even worse
Multiple characters: Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin. The villains drive the plot. I will again point out (which you haven't responded to yet) that in the Dark Knight Batman has less screen time than he does in Begins I believe. This is something I've seen other fans and critics point out.
You can't just dismiss it because it explains how much of the crimes are being committed.
I didn't. It becomes less credible when it's used to explain every single occurrence without fail though. I think they skirted too close to the line with it personally.
In the scenes where he tries to tell Vicki who he is, and at the end of Returns where he wants Selina to come away with him, I get the strong impression that he insinuated those situations as being grounds for retiring.
First, the final shot of the film in Batman makes it plain your interpretation is wrong. Batman isn't going to be retiring because of Vicki Vale. Her dialogue to Alfed even makes this plain. It's also made even clearer in Batman Returns that the reason their relationship failed is because he wouldn't quit.
As far as Selina, I never got that impression. I can't say with any certainty you are wrong, other than I just know there is no way in heck that either Batman or Catwoman would give up the nightlife. They both love it too much.
I just hate it when people bring up what I think are BS reasons to hate on the movies. If anything,
I'm not too fond of it when criticisms are looked at simply as bullshit because they conflict with someone's personal preferences. But hey, what do I know?
Look, I have a feeling its just going to come down to personal opinion about most of these.
When discussing personal likes or dislikes for movies that usually is the way it is.
I'm in the mindset that MOTP is probably the best movie out of all of them

The Key Elements of Online Poker Strategy (Part I)
Poker pros are famous for their "tight aggressive" style of play. A famous American quote is not for nothing: "These poker pros do not play many hands, but When They Play Them, They Play Them Like They had the nuts."
That's a good explanation, but many we have of course not. And it does not say much about No Limit poker, where a "lose and aggressive" play lord and master. So when we say a player "tight aggressive", it means only that the player has four key elements and applied.
1. Mathematical skills
Good poker players know what they play, know the percentages and ratios to bet or play a hand. They know that when one pair in one hand, it is a chance of 1 in 8 for a four of a kind "to get, and that the chance of a" flush draw "during the flop has a chance of 1 in 3. So if you play, play it professionally, so you an edge over your opponents.
Add the "oh so important" outs. Outs are the number of cards you need to improve your hand, so if you have an AK (Ace-King) in your hand, then there are three aces in the game, and three kings to get a top pair. If you added your outs, multiply it by 2 and add 2 to it, that's roughly the percentage that you actually "the" card will get. So (3 +3 = 6) * 2 = 12% you'll get the Ace or King.
Calculate your pot odds (we go for this part is 20% off). The outs is useless until you know the percentage used for wagering. The pot odds calculation is not difficult. So when the percentage of your outs, divide the pot to the river (ie takes into account future bets from you and your opponents life) by the amount it cost you to call. So if the layouts have a rate of 20% and it costs you 50 to go, and you estimate that the pot on the river more than 250, then call the other hand, fold.
For everything about pot odds or implied odds to explain you would have 100 pages to read, so we tell here the basics of calculations so you are prepared and so in a way you earn money from your opponents who do not understand it . If you want to know about the subject you are advised to briefly review the books page of our website to look for books to read and also the pros use!
2. Discipline
Professional poker players go all out in advance that they will win. And the difference between a fish (an amateur who plays without thinking, whether this strategy to read!) And a poker pro is that pro expected to win, whether a fish is fun to play, and happiness heben. While the pro on the other side of happiness does not go out, but hopes that the fish gets no luck! Poker is all about at all about luck, one common among managers of the game chatting. Poker is not roulette.
Good poker players know that every game a different discipline. A disciplined "no limit" bad actors can "limit" player, and vice versa. A disciplined limit player is always very tight before the flop (flop). He will not play many hands, only certain hands that are most likely to win.
But, a disciplined no limit player is totally different. This player does not look at the amount of blinds that he plays, he is aware, however, that he does not fall into the trap! The big difference between a desciplineerde limit and no limit player is that the limit player to watch is that its not stack gradually disappears, while no limit player is very careful before he went away his stack is not playing. In other words, a disciplined no limit player can play many more hands. Preflop so he can play so loose as sensible. But on the other hand, can limit a player not afford, and it is important that he or she "unusable" hands fold.
But both are still rules. A disciplined player will deal with the hands he plays. He knows when to bet (bet) and when to fold. He recognizes game situations and did not panic, control is an essential thing in the poker game, so if you sometime half your stack outplaying a stupid mistake or luck of the opponent, managing yourself and wait patiently until you get a good poker hand, do not make the beginner's mistake and think you 'loss ever go back to win. "
Command, control and discipline. But also note the other players, watch the entire table, and analyze everything, but can be analyzed, how the opponent plays, bet (bets) quickly, or even slow, the table is tight or just loose, that his the points where to look.
Also a disciplined player knows that he is not perfect. When he makes a mistake, he learns of it, he analyzes his mistake, and is governed by weather. He does not blame others, also give the cards not to blame. He learns from his mistake and goes again.

I want to complain about this content:
I run a taxi company and i think these people blaming the council are idiots ! In my view I blame headteachers for opening schools on Tuesday, road conditions were bad enough Tuesday morning let alone the afternoon. If the schools hadn't been open there would of been less traffic and lesser chance of gridlock in Norwich and other parts of the county. There was no consideration to children with special needs such as behavioral problems, diabetes and other medical problems which my drivers and passenger assistants had to cope with for hours stuck in traffic. Surely safety comes before education on days like these ? When the snow was coming down as hard and fast as it was there was nothing the gritters could have done about it, I was out driving Monday night and gritters were out constantly so I praise their efforts. Furthermore the situation on Tuesday evening wasn't helped by people blocking junctions and roundabouts in their selfish attempt to get home with no consideration on how the emergency services and gritters would get through who are trying to help the situation. At least there were some people out there showing spirit handing out tea and pushing cars. Bottom line, we are never and will never be good at coping in the snow, snow chains and winter tyres are not compulsory, people here do not drive according to the conditions and do not heed the warnings to stay at home or leave early when the conditions are forecast.

Mumbai, the financial capital of India lies on the western coast of the country and houses the famous hindi film industry, Bollywood and headquarters of several financial institutions. Mumbai is not only the fastest growing city in the country but also one of the most populated cities in the world.
Although located along the sea, the city of Mumbai extends over 633 square kilometers and travelling from one part of the city to another becomes quite hectic and inconvenient for the general masses. Public transport in the form of local trains, busses, taxi and rickshaws is available; however, with a city so huge and limited time in hands of people, convenience is often the chosen one. Private cab hire and car rentals solve the problem of travelling within and around the city the most. The famous black and yellow taxis are still very famous in South Bombay but when work is more, the best option is to hire a private cab for oneself for the day and leave the travel anxieties behind.
Lonavla and Khandala, the twin hill stations of Maharashtra lies almost midway between Mumbai and Pune and can be accessed from the NH4 highway. Both Lonavla and Khandala are a splendor during the monsoons as they are both adorned by with waterfalls and streams and lush green mountains. God's version of Eden in Maharashtra, Lonavala and Khandala are places one will want to visit again and again. The nest way to get to Lonavla and Khandala is by car. Car Rental services and private taxis are the ideal choice when travelling to Lonavala and Khandala as it is the best way to enjoy the journey. Private taxi hires for travel within Lonavla and Khandala are also available for those who want to visit the many sight-seeing spots at the place.
Famous places to visit: Tiger's Leap, Bushy Dam, Gambhirnath Caves

Build a Flexible, Efficient Datacenter
vSphere with Operations Management combines the world's leading virtualization platform with VMware's award winning management capabilities. This new solution enables IT to gain operational insight into the virtual environment providing improved availability, performance, and capacity utilization. Run business applications confidently to meet the most demanding service level agreements at the lowest TCO.
vSphere Management
Management provides the core control point into the vSphere with Operations Management environment while delivering a true managed virtualization solution by adding workflow, monitoring and performance data, and capacity optimization. Using management features, IT administrators can get the most out of their infrastructure resources with the confidence to run business-critical applications.

This visibility and control can enable a single administrator to manage hundreds of workloads.
IT administrators also often spend time ensuring that business-critical workloads are meeting the service levels required of them. Using proactive management features, IT administrators can impliment business policies up front that are dynamically enforced without manual intervention. This policy-based automation ensures that resources are load balanced and made highly available to business-critical workloads.

We can call them whatever as long as I don't have to get any calls from portland about the game....or have my man Jeff show up during the show to taunt me.
My sis and I are driving up from Bremerton (across from Seattle) to see the game! I bought tickets a little while ago in my fav spots. The section closest to the Pistons' bench of course! I really hope Sheed plays, because he is my sister's favorite NBA player. But she is very laid back about it. She says "Oh well, if he can't play we can look at him in his suit jacket all night." She's got it real bad for Sheed. On and on she goes on about his smile, his laugh, his tattoos. She's a grown married woman, go figure! Anyway it's good for me because she always wants to go to the Pistons game (even if our Sonics are gone now) and she always is willing to get a decent priced ticket to be closer to him. So I promote her fan crush mercilessly. I'm psyched to see the game. There is nothing nothing nothing like seeing these games live with a solidly fanatical home crowd. I got the basketball jones so bad right now I'm considering moving to an NBA city so that I can get season tickets (way high up there, I'm sure). Anyway I'll be wearing my red 3 Ben jersey because my AI jersey didn't show up in time. My sis will be wearing a surprise present red 36 Sheed jersey. We both have long dark hair and we are in the corner section near the Pistons bench about 1/3 the way up that section. Just in case you are scanning the crowd. If I could think of a cool sign I'd make one. Go Pistons!!!! Can't wait to see everyone in action live again!!!!
Latest is both Rip/Sheed are out. LMA always gets juiced to play Sheed so maybe he'll calm down or Kwame can try to scare him in some way or another. He is fairly soft.
Well lets just hope that this is another instance of McCosky being wrong again. Without Sheed we won't have much of a chance.
I will look for you Kimmie..have fun!!! ..Hopefully the camera pans over there.. I sat behind the basket at the game this past Sunday, but no one probably saw or paid attention to me because I only had on a blue polo shirt with a little Pistons logo on it.
Awesome Aurora! Have a great great time!! I'd be excited to see a game in person this year, just to say AI run around

Owen is the organizer of the Montgomery clan, running the family's construction business with an iron fist - and an even less flexible spreadsheet. And though his brothers give him grief for his compulsive list making, the Inn BoonsBoro is about to open right on schedule. The only thing Owen didn't plan for was Avery MacTavish....
Avery's popular pizza place is right across the street from the inn, giving her a first-hand look at its amazing renovation - and a newfound appreciation for Owen. Since he was her first boyfriend when they were kids, Owen has never been far from Avery's thoughts. But the attraction she's feeling for him now is far from innocent.
As Avery and Owen cautiously take their relationship to another level, the opening of the inn gives the whole town of BoonsBoro a reason to celebrate. But Owen's hard work has only begun. Getting Avery to let down her guard is going to take longer than he expected - and so will getting her to realize that her first boyfriend is going to be her last….
©2012 Nora Roberts (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"No one writes relationships as well as Ms. Roberts, with the subtleties and quirkiness of the give-and-take of friendship and romance." (Fresh Fiction)
"Speed up your MP3 Player!"
I really enjoyed this story. The narration was driving me INSANE - he speaks so slowly and deliberately. Then I found the setting to speed up the audiobook playback to faster. WHAT a relief, I am actually enjoying the story now. His female voices are still poor, in fact all the characters sound very similar except Ryder. Too bad this is Owen's story. I like the family, I like the locale, and I like the pets; seems like you often have dogs in a Nora story! As are most of her trilogies, these are romances so the relationships are the main focus of the story. It is interesting because there are some story arcs that span all three books and others that complete within each volume.
The Inn Boonsboro Trilogy is also very unusual, in that Boonsboro is a real town and the businesses named really exist and are actually owned by Nora Roberts and/or her family. They rehabbed the historic inn, had a terrible fire while it was under construction and had to start over. You can actually go and stay in the rooms, which are all named after famous fictional couples, although I suspect the ghost in the Elizabeth & Darcy room is a literary device! I also thought it was great fun that they have an Eve & Roarke room, the husband and wife team that is featured in 40+ Eve Dallas stories by Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb (my all-time FAVORITE series, with fantastic narration by Susan Erickson; what a joy they are to listen to!)
Turn the Page Bookstore is owned by the Roberts and it is where all her book signings take place, in fact it is the only bookstore to offered books signed by the Nora. Vesta Pizza is real and really offers room service to the Inn, and Gifts Inn Boonsboro is real too. If you go to Nora's website there is a link to the bookstore and Inn.
I think it is fun that she used her actual experiences of going through the rehab, setting her fictional characters against a true setting. But I think I would like it better if Nora was open about her connection to these businesses. Without the open acknowledgement, it smacks a bit of a sneaky marketing ploy. I wouldn't mind if she was up front about the connection. Perhaps there will be an acknowledgement at the end of the third book when it comes out.
Still, I am enjoying the series very much and will probably listen again, now that I found out how to set my audiobook playback to FASTER! Sure wish we did not have to wait so long for the final installment!
I love losing myself in books of any kind
"If you have trouble sleeping... GO FOR THIS"
Those who have insomnia and need help sleeping... this is for you.
There was NO story, I am not sure. No plot, not mystery (Unless you count the ghost). I think it was supose to be a romance but it was just blah. BORING
I actually did not mind the narrator but he really did not have much work with so not much to mess up
"Fun, romantic, a bit of drama"
I loved this book. I can't wait for book #3! It was fun, romantic, believeable, with a touch of drama...but not too heavy. It is a story that could be played out all over this country.
The Montgomery brothers
Voice..I am dyslexic and it is hard for me to sit down and read for a long period of time
I tried....had to work!
Love it....real life story!
"Great continuation of series."
Yes!!! I've already listened to it twice, in spite of the narrator. It's nice to hear a man speak the male part.
He's not the best at female or children's voices.
"Bad Narration - AGAIN"
The narration of this book is awful. The first book of this trilogy was narrated by the same individual and it received many reviews indicating poor narration. I had really hoped that there would be a change in narrator. The female characters all sound alike and are so nasal sounding that it is extremely hard to listen to. It is really unfair to the author to have her book represented in such a poor manner.
Get a new narrator.
"Sweet, funny and beautiful"
The story of Owen and Avery overall is a beautiful story of self discovery, acceptance and at the end of the day love. It had a few places that were slow and you wanted to say come on but the heart of the story was strong enough to pull you on through. The unsuspected moments of laughter were timely and absolutely on the mark. As the middle book in the trilogy I thought at times I might not make it to the last book. But I did and not to give the wrong impression; I guess I will offer this as a way of trying to explain. This is a glass of wine, slow rain, lazy couch book reading day. Comfort reading.
I love witty, fast-paced books that keep you turning the page.
"Owen and Avery a great pair"
As complete opposites, the relationship between Avery and Owen provides an interesting plot line as we learn more about Avery's past and why she's so driven. The narrator improved slightly, losing the grating child voices and picking up the pace, so overall it was a very nice "read".
"So Slow...Lack of Plot and Dragging Narration."
The book lacks tension, aside from the ghost which is not mentioned in the blurb. I avoid ghost books and I enjoy romance novels that have something that drives the plot. This tells the slow boring story of old friends who start dating and run into zero bumps or hurdles. Multiply this by the incredibly slow narration, and you've got for one boring book. In fact, I fell asleep twice while listening to this book.
I'm really disappointed because I usually really like Nora Roberts, and in theory, I enjoyed the characters, but that's not enough to make me ever listen to this story again.
"The last Boyfriend"
so so
he's good
'kind of
Book not as good as first one. But I am finishing listening to trilogy anyhow. 3rd book a little bit better. Could have done without Ghost.
"Loved this book, great series"
I love this entire family of men and their Mom. As a mother of three grown sons of my own their relationships ring true.The women in the series are strong. The author really allows you to get to know all the characters in a meaningful way. I can't wait for the next book to see if Hope and Ryder will finally get together. Great narrator too.!

The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is a visualization tool to simultaneously integrate and analyze multiple types of genomic data.
InVEx (Introns Vs Exons) is a permutation-based method (written in Python) for ascertaining genes with a somatic mutation distribution showing evidence of positive selection for non-silent mutations. The method was developed for use in cancer genomics studies, with particular relevance to high mutation rate cancers. Mutations are permuted on a per-patient, per-trinucleotide-context basis across the exons, introns and UTRs of a gene, generating a null model of the distribution of mutations to which the observed distribution can be compared to determine statistical significance. Significant genes are of interest, as their somatic mutation is likely to be important in the formation of the cancer being studied. The method can operate on whole exome as well as whole genome sequencing data.
Kinannote identifies and classifies protein kinases in a user-provided fasta file using an HMM derived from serine/threonine protein kinases, a position specific scoring matrix derived from the HMM, and comparison with a local version of the curated kinase database from kinase.com.

Kris Bio
I was born September 11, 1974 in Waynesboro VA and have a been a resident of the great small town of Stuarts Draft all my life. I've got 5 siblings, 3 olders sisters, 1 older brother, and 1 younger brother. As a youngster, I attended Stuarts Draft Elementary (now Stump Elementary), Stuarts Draft Middle, and Stuarts Draft High School, from which I graduated in June 1992.
When I was 4 years old, I decided that I wanted to be a disc jockey, and heard the day after graduation that WKDW in Staunton was looking for part-time help, so I applied, and was hired. There have been so many highlights in the 20 years at WKDW. I've gotten to do a lot of things, and meet a lot of people that I otherwise wouldn't have. Being a huge fan of the Statler Brothers, the day they first came by for an interview, is one I'll never forget.
I host the Country Club in the Morning Radio Show on WKDW (6-10am) and can be found in the community at schools, etc a lot of the time.
In my spare time, I love all types of music, am an avid sports fan (Orioles, Redskins, and UVA) and for more than 11 years have been a Big Brother with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Central Blue Ridge.
One of the thrills of my life came in 2002, when I was named the local chapter's Big Brother of the Year. In October 2008, I became a Big Brother to a young man named Dalton, who's 14. He my best friend and truly is the greatest little brother in the world!
I am currently happily single and reside in Stuarts Draft.

Funerals & Memorials
Honoring your loved one
We believe that every life is unique and deserves to be celebrated and remembered. Thankfully, we have many options today with regards to how to pay tribute to your loved one. You may choose a traditional funeral or a contemporary, humanist service. You may choose cremation with a traditional burial or you may have an open casket funeral; there are many combinations.
Lensing's will listen to the needs of your family and respond with respect. As members of a diverse community, we have worked with clients from a myriad of religious and ethnic backgrounds, created ceremonies for both the very young and the very old, and provided assistance and comfort to families on very small budgets, as well as to those planning large, public tributes. What ever is appropriate for you, we are here to assist.
Our Iowa City space allows for memorials of up to 250 visitors. |
Choosing A Venue The location or setting of a service is key to establishing the mood and atmosphere. Lensing's two funeral homes provide private and comfortable spaces for funerals, memorials, and viewings. You may also choose to hold your service in a church or other house of worship, at a sectarian public space, or outdoors. Wherever you choose, Lensing's will be there to assist you along the way. |
• How many people do you anticipate attending the • What is the feeling you want to evoke? Informal? • What settings did your loved one especially enjoy • Do you have guests with special needs to • What time of day will both suit the goals of your |
Creating personalized services that are both memorable & personable. |
Our staff's commitment to you Lensing's staff is committed to providing support, compassion, information, and direction as needed to all members of our community, their families, and friends who are dealing with loss and grief. When a death occurs, there are decisions and arrangements to be made. Our funeral directors assume those responsibilities for you, and you can depend on Lensing's to provide a service that is memorable, flawlessly planned, and personable to the smallest detail. |
When my mother died, Tony Porter met with me and was so supportive. He offered options I had not thought of, had good suggestions, and attended to every detail as though I were his own family member. He and other members of the Lensing staff were at St. Mary's for the funeral and were very helpful. I cannot express what a comfort they were, and what an excellent manner they had with all of our family. I will always remember the service and kindness they provided me at that time. -Faye Thompson

Louise Franz says she wanted "a local, community restaurant that feels like it is in the city."
She got it with the opening of San Anselmo's Pizzalina in September, using a unique bit of Marin history — the North Pacific Coast Railroad line that ran from Sausalito to Tomales until the 1930s — as inspiration for naming her authentic Neapolitan pizzas.
The vibe is contemporary yet classic. Washed cement walls and dangling Edison bulb lamps are industrial-chic, but golden damask fabric on the banquettes, a warm red accent wall and a slatted wood ceiling soften the hard edges. A community table with tall bar stools has a great view of the chalkboard wall where the
The menu, designed by Franz, a certified pizzaiolo by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana who's worked in Naples, Italy, and at Larkspur's Pizzeria Picco, is executed by chef de cuisine, Robbie Starr, formerly of Boca Pizza. It meets the Marin standard of sourcing ingredients mostly from our agricultural backyard. There's a vegetable of the day, which, on the day I visited, was cauliflower. The soup ($4 cup/$7 bowl) dotted with chopped, toasted hazelnuts and extra-virgin olive oil was the essence of this humble vegetable,
Franz fell in love with pizza and a good portion of the menu is dedicated to that love. Though the Associazione insists that Italian San Marzano tomatoes be used to make the sauce and "00" flour be used for the dough, Franz adds a combination of natural sourdough yeasts and fresh yeasts to her dough. Left to ferment for an ambitious five days, the extra time adds a noticeable and beneficial sour flavor. An added benefit: the fermentation helps break down the gluten strands, making the wheat easier to digest. Franz also keeps Mariposa Bakery's gluten-free crusts on hand.
Pizzalina's pizzas are left a bit soft in the center, one sign of a "true Neapolitan," Franz says. Roys ($18), perhaps named for Roy Graves who made it his life's work to collect photographs of the railroads in California, was topped with shredded black kale and mozzarella di bufala from Tomales' Ramini Mozzarella. The crust was
Paccheri ($14) was wide, long pasta tubes graced with shredded rabbit from Nicasio's Devil's Gulch Ranch. Though the ragu's texture was right, smooth and not too rich, the dish was done in by heavy salting. Risotto ($14) was the hit of the day. Sweet with caramelized garlic, the Spanish-style chorizo and tender shrimp and al dente Arborio rice gave the classic a subtle lift.
California wines are well represented, but should you wish for a sprightly Falanghina or a medium-bodied Sangiovese to wash down your carbs, Pizzalina accommodates in glass, carafe and bottle sizes. Service is there when you need it and unobtrusively taking care of business when you don't.
Franz, who has been in the restaurant business her entire life, has built a welcoming room where the simple food, cooked with care, is done right. Franz's Pizzalina unites Marin history with Marin's authentic ingredients and Neapolitan pizza culture. It is a winning combination.

Summary: A labor of love for owner Louise Franz, Pizzalina is a rustic-industrial-chic pizzeria and wine bar where the Neapolitan-style pizza is served a bit soft at the center and the five-day proofing process with fresh and sour yeasts add a unique complexity to the thin, blistered crust. Pastas and salads round out the menu; the risotto is a stand-out.

Another "Successful" Season of Room In The Inn at Trinity
The following is reprinted from the Trinity Presbyterian Church newsletter. Tricia Sistrunk lives in Charlotte with her husband and three children. She is a stay-at-home mom, attorney, blogger for thelunchproject.org, and RITI Coordinator at Trinity.
On March 20, 2013, we concluded another successful season of Room In The Inn (RITI) here at Trinity. Successful in the sense that we were able to provide food and shelter for 138 men, women, and children during the twelve nights we hosted. However, my idea of true success would mean we no longer have a need for the RITI program. We would no longer need the 60 or 70 volunteers it takes to run RITI. We would no longer need the closet at the back of our Fellowship Hall filled with mattresses, pillows, sheets, towels, toiletries, shirts, underwear, socks, hats, and gloves. We would no longer need the small shower down the hall used by our homeless guests to clean up after a hard day. Alas, we are not there yet.
According to Urban Ministry Center's 2013 count, there are approximately 2418 homeless people in Mecklenburg County, of which 738 are children. In fact, there was a disheartening 61% increase in the number of homeless families served by RITI this year.
The RITI program was started by the Urban Ministry Center in 1996 with two goals in mind. The first, to provide a warm, safe and dry place for Mecklenburg county's homeless population during our coldest months – December through March. Approximately 130 area churches and colleges participate in the RITI program by taking in twelve to fourteen homeless people on their assigned evening. There are usually ten to fifteen host sites on any given night.
The second goal of the RITI program is to provide a personal relationship with homeless people and a deeper understanding of the issue of homelessness. When most people hear the word homeless, the image that often comes to mind is of "street homelessness." There are, of course, many chronically homeless people here in Mecklenburg County and across the country who, often due to mental or physical disabilities and/or addiction, are unable to maintain employment, pay their bills, and keep supportive social relationships.
However, the more prevalent face of homelessness is the working poor and their families. The lack of affordable housing combined with the lack of jobs has led to more and more families living in their cars, hotel rooms, and in shelters.
I have personally experienced a little bit of everything during my six years of being involved with RITI. There have certainly been mentally ill guests, all of whom have left an indelible impression on me. They are truly the "least of these" among us and I can't help but wonder and worry about them during April through November when there is no RITI to keep them off the streets.
This season I also met a young married couple expecting twins in June. Like a nervous parent, I asked them if they had any housing prospects. They said they were working on it and hopefully they would be in an apartment by June. I can only pray that I won't see them again next season with their babies in tow.
There was Lisa who was concerned when the hot water in our RITI shower ran out. Lisa had a job interview the next morning. She was excited about the possibility of employment but she knew she had to look clean. My heart sank as I thought about my showers filled with hot water back home. I was happy to learn that the hot water came back on an hour or so after I left the church and Lisa got her hot shower. I never found out whether she got the job.
I met a former girl scout when Girl Scout Troop 1335 came to help serve dinner and set up the beds for our guests. The girl scouts brought smiles to all of our guests but especially Dana. Dana, now in her fifties, reminisced about her days as a girl scout. As I imagined this now homeless woman as a smiling, young girl scout I wondered what events had led her to this place in life.
Perhaps the hardest for me to handle are the children we have as guests. We had a family of four – a mom and her three kids ages 11, 9 and 5. I watched as the kids played on the weekday school playground after dinner. A normal sight for sure. After all, I have watched all three of my kids play on that same playground many times over the years. But, my heart knew there was nothing normal about it. Church floors and homeless shelters are no place for children.
My list of stories goes on and on and I know the other RITI volunteers have their stories as well. Several of our regular drivers and overnight hosts have told me over and over again how much they enjoy getting to know our guests.
A couple of weeks after volunteering for RITI, the girl scouts decided, on their own, to come back and bring homemade desserts for our guests. Once they arrived at the church they asked their parents if they could stay and help out again. I was touched to see these girls, at such a young age, experience the joy of helping others as well as learn about the issue of homelessness. Perhaps this is the true meaning of success.
The goals of Urban Ministry's RITI program are being met here at Trinity. So too is the greater goal of living a life filled with compassion as Jesus taught us to do.
I am grateful that Trinity has chosen to support this important ministry. As one of our guests said to me as we hugged goodbye, "Thank you for living the good life."

Air Engineering and Supply has announced the manufacture and national distribution of the company's 1.12 inch bore and up to 20 inch standard stroke with longer strokes available upon request.
"A leading manufacturer of this style and size cylinder recently announced that it was discontinuing the product," said a company spokesperson. "Air Engineering and Supply recognized this as an opportunity to continue service to the industry with its own version of this heavy duty air cylinder.
"These are the double acting 18D and 18SD models available in both stud and universal mounts. Both are 1.12 inch bore models and feature nitrile seals rated for 180-degrees F and 150 PSI max. Cylinders are hard-coated anodized aluminum with zinc-plated nuts and lock washers. The cylinders feature chrome plated stainless steel rods with brass pistons and have black oxide finished end covers. Designed with standard bumpers at both ends, the cylinders have low friction U-cup seals with moly lubrication.
"Air Engineering and Supply has offered this style and size cylinder for over 25 years and has a range of customers currently using the product. Among the many applications are all types of automation including articulating arms for tool balancers, ergonomic workstations and basic pneumatic operations."
"By continuing to offer these 1.12 inch bore heavy duty cylinders, we're best serving both the replacement market and new designers with a time-proven product that is very important to many customers," said Dave Maurer, Air Engineering and Supply Sales Manager.
