Just another food geek tourist looking for advice
- MGZ Oct 18, 2010 02:52 PM
OK. I've studied the posts, added many sites to my favorite places, have a few pages of notes and a general sense of what I want to eat and where I want to go. In all honesty, the myriad Asian offerings are making me drool, as is the chance to drink Moonlight, Russian River, and Bear Republic beers. Tomorrow's the big day and I still have one nagging question to answer. Where should we go for dinner on Thursday night that might have a little "wow"?
The meal will be a "splurge on a budget." Here are the parameters:
$40 or so per person.
Chef owned – Mom and Popish, perhaps?
Good value wines. You know a couple of $40 or less bottles that I won't feel cheap ordering.
I will be comfortable without a tie (maybe even in jeans?).
No Italian.
So, where would you go?
Thanks, in advance, for any thoughts or suggestions and for all the information you have already shared in previous threads.
Are there places that you have been considering? FYI, you will be comfortable without a tie in pretty much every single restaurant in San Francisco (and comfortable in jeans in all but maybe one or two -- and people wear jeans at those places too).
Until you said no Italian I was going to say La Ciccia. Therefore I'd say Canteen, but check immediately to see if you can get a reservation.

re: OldTimer
Yup, 10 years ago you could get out of a nice (but not hot) neighborhood place for $65-ish + tip for 2. That seems to have gone up to around $85-ish to $100.
The rule of thumb I use is double the price of medium priced entree. Example, $26 entree x 2 = $52 x 2 = $104. So for $40, you're looking at $10 entrees. That's a ballpark but it seems to be pretty good indication. Tax is near 10% and there's a "healthcare service charge" in SF.
re: OldTimer
$40 per is just a reference to the food cost. I was thinking there might be some 3 or 4 course offerings in that range. I could find them in NY or Philly. $150 or so with wine and tip (and taxes).
It would really help to know what else you're considering.
Also, no one in SF wears ties. no one. I've been at a lot of business meetings, a lot of great restaurants, no one wears ties. I take it back: I saw a guy wearing a tie last week, notably so. You will feel uncomfortable *with* a tie just about anywhere. TFL requires jackets, but not ties.
You might try Plum in Oakland. Very near the oakland BART station. New and exciting, small plates so you can keep the price down or drive the price up :-), great "flask" wines, true california cuisine, great bar seats watching the kitchen,and you can talk to your friends about it because it's new and hip. Jeans are fine.
[Oakland is a good idea because you can trip down to The Trappist, which is about 9 blocks south, a very very excellent belgian specialist]
Namu might be a good choice, and Canteen comes up a lot.

re: bbulkow
I'm predominently considering less typical ethnic offerings. The Lers Ros menu, for example, has entranced me. Also, collecting ingredients that are not really available on the East Coast to cook myself. I live a half mile from the Atlantic, but fresh sardines or anchovies are practically unheard of items. Thus, one not too pricey "wowish" outing is still being debated.
Chapeau does an early bird fixed priced menu on Thursday for $28 (you have to dine between 5 and 6) that would fit your criteria perfectly. Reservations are through opentable, and last I checked it's pretty popular so I'd recommend booking early.
Mesclun Salad with Crème Dijonnaise, Red Seedless Grapes, Pistachio, Fried Camembert & Walnut Bread
Soup of the Day
Traditional Escargots de Bourgogne in Butter, Parsley & Garlic
Trio of Salmon
Gravlax, Tartar & Caviar, Egg Mimosa, Fried Capers & Crème Fraîche, Micro Herbs with Lemon Dressing
Prince Edward Island Mussels
Steamed with White Wine, Shallot & Parsley, Pommes Frites & Rouille
Louisiana Gulf Wild Flounder, Mashed Potatoes, Braised Leeks, P.E.I. Mussels & Manila Clams, Asparagus en Tranches, Mussels-Saffron Sauce

re: johnw188
Thanks, that's the sort of thing I was missing.
if I had to pick one restaurant for a nice night out with great food and a semi-casual atmosphere, I'd go with Zuni Cafe (or Foreign Cinema). Depending on the appetizers, salads, etc you add on or not, you can really stay near your price range or go crazy. For great beer after dinner, I'd hop in a cab and check out La Trappe in North Beach. Monk's Kettle in the Mission has a small but nice range of beers on tap and is closer. You could also try Toronado.

Look at the menu at La Ciccia, it's Sardinian and not your usual Italian. Great food, very much a family operation, amazing selection of Sardinian wines at reasonable prices.
Or jump on BART and go to Great China in Berkeley. Great Korean-Chinese specialties and one of the best and most reasonably priced wine lists in the area. The chef-owner's son does the wine list and is great at recommending pairings.
Lers Ros is stellar but probably best to bring your own wine.
La Ciccia

Great China Restaurant
2115 Kittredge St, Berkeley, CA 94704
re: Robert Lauriston
Robert is a strong proponent of Great China, I've never figured out the right dishes to order. There's a long thread somewhere with various people chiming in with their experiences. I wouldn't go there underprepared, nor would I consider it a great choice for the one splurge meal of a vacation. All true about the wine list & closeness to bart.
I've been thinking about where I go for sardines, and unfortunatly my recs are down on the peninsula. I love sardines out here, consider it a very underappreciated fish, and well worth seeking out. I don't know what the season is. The sardines at Evvia and Flea Street are my 100% favorites, but that doesn't help you much - too far away. I think that's a great idea - go somewhere with sardines. We don't really have portuguese food, which is too bad. A true spanish place should make good sardines - I think I had them at Barlata in Oakland (great wines, got a knockout Priorat) - but barlata's not that easy by public transit. Looking for sardines will bear the most fruit looking at california food place, local and fusionish, but those places change menu so much you'd need good inside info about who is making them on a regular basis.
La Ciccia gets RAVE reviews around here, and local sardines is the first thing on the menu. Assuming you can get in, might be just the ticket.
After doing a touch of research, you might want to look into Contigo, maybe to stop by for sardines at the bar but not for a full meal. They have wood roasted local sardines, a spanish/portuguese flair, a committment to local sources, and a decent looking wine list. The report by long-time posters is not very positive, so a whole meal might not be a good idea. But the negative comments are mostly about price and service, which should be addressed by having only a few dishes at the bar and not going for a full meal.
This perhaps could be snuck into some walking tour, as it's "between" the castro and the mission. Sort of. And there's some serious vertical in the middle to get your appetite up, and good atmospheric san francisco classic houses. A great walking tour destination is the golden fire hydrant (look it up).
Bocadillos is specifically mentioned in the Contigo past, and gets some good words on CH. They have local sardines and squid. Might be a better choice for a full meal. Here's a fun thread of "best of" including one sidelong mention.
Kokkari is the SF branch of Evvia in Palo Alto, one of my sardine sources. They list smelts not sardines, but I bet they're still good. I don't think a full meal at Kokkari would fit your price range. Evvia has a huge mesquite grill, and for a main, anything cooked over the mesquite is superlative.

Consider Commonwealth restaurant. They recommend about 5 dishes for 2 people, and the most expensive dish on the menu right now is $16. We ordered 6 dishes, a dessert, a bottle of wine, and a glass of wine and the pre-tip total was $126. We were stuffed, and we're both big tall men with big appetites. Very refined and delicious food. Right now, they have nice marrow-stuffed squid that are probably sourced fresh from Monterey bay.
The chef's tasting menu is more expensive, and last night didn't look as tempting as ordering a la carte.
2224 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110
re: SteveG
Here's the photo I took of the marrow-stuffed squid at Commonwealth last month. The way it's plated, the squid looks like it's still alive and taking a little rest on a bed of pebbles (beans).
re: Melanie Wong
They had more tentacles last night, and were even prettier! I think the serving has 2 squid now instead of what looks like one in your photo.
Edited to add: if you do go, the uni seafood custard was delicious, and an accidentally amazing pairing with our bottle of Cremant de Jura. Best pairing I've had all year.
re: SteveG
And, here's the uni chawan mushi with lobster emulsion.
I didn't get a good reading on this one and shall have to order it again. I loved the squid with all my heart.
re: Melanie Wong
I have to admit that the uni chawan mushi was not as good last night as what I had previously at Bar Tartine (one of my top tastes of that entire year, and so good that we ordered a second serving after our first taste), though it was still delicious. I'll just have to go back and try it again to see if this is a permanent stylistic change or a fluke.
Bar Tartine
561 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94110
re: SteveG
Let me clarify that I didn't mean to say that the chawan mushi wasn't good. I tasted it after it had been around the table, and the mishmosh that was left wasn't a fair judging of it. So I have no opinion about it.
re: Melanie Wong
i loved the squid immensely, too, Melanie. i was very disappointed that the whole rest of our meal, including the uni chawan mushi, was bland and unremarkable. ( i posted about it separately.) But if they can make that one dish taste so spectuclar, I'm leaning toward trying them again some time.
Sometimes on a trip you hit a bump in the road. Thought out plans are abandoned as routes must be changed. Life goes on . . . .
Our night out was, of necessity, replaced with delivery from Lers Ros, various bottles of local beer, and cable television movies – not exactly "feel sorry for me" fare. In the end, we ate great while visiting your wonderful city, immersing ourselves in the food and drink culture that has blossomed. We live about 20 miles from Manhattan Island. Nevertheless, it was exciting to actually spend time in a place where notions of "thoughtful consumption" have truly taken root.
To call you folks lucky fails to recognize your responsibility for what you have. So, I'll just say "Thanks, and keep it up . . . We'll be back."
re: mariacarmen
Everything we had from there was fantastic. I have simply never before had Thai food of that caliber - and not for a lack of trying. Of particular note were the pork in gravy, and the stewed pork with 5 spice, oh and the marinated pork shoulder slices salad . . . .

Inside Lilith: New Pacific Heights Outpost for Feminine French Fashion
Earlier this month, the sole West Coast outpost from Paris-based Lilith relocated from its former location on Berkeley's Fourth Street to Pacific Heights. We recently caught up with the shop's longtime manager Sharon Haag to learn more about the new destination for feminine, French fashion and what's in store for spring.
How would you describe the Lilith aesthetic?
Sophisticated whimsy.
Why should San Francisco women flock to Lilith?
There's a little bit of whimsy, [the clothes] are artistic, they're any age. You wear the clothes, they don't wear you. The clothes do have something unusual: a sweater that you can wear upside down or a tuck in an unusual place. The fabrics are all from France and they're very tactile. You just don't look like everybody else, you look like an individual.
What's new for Lilith this season?
A portion of our spring has arrived, and we anticipate a new shipment in about two weeks. Every season, Litith has a theme. This season it's Havana in the 50's. They're bright colors and beautiful linens and exclusive patterns, fabrics that are exclusive to us…There's a sundress that's so adorable and linen pants. They're all very current to the fashion industry, but there's an edge to them. They don't look like anyone else.
What pieces in the store right now are must-haves for spring?
We do a lot of taffeta and tulle. These skirts are equally suited for going out at night as they are with a tee and Converse sneakers during the day. You don't have to save them for a special occasion. And we have some darling sweaters. They're all cotton and just really easy to wear.
Lilith, 2029 Fillmore St., San Francisco, 415-913-7600.

A short message concerning commissions, requests and art trades.
I will not take commissions till the end of the year (or maybe I close down taking commissions for longer\forever? I am not sure about it.)It is not because of a bad experience I had past year. If anyone was not reading my past ramblings it happened that a friend did not pay for a commission I did for her. The story had a happy end though, I've got my payment eight months later and I try not to think about this bad thing anymore.
The reason I decided to take a break from commissions and trades is that I want to have more time for my personal work, I want to develop my ideas and improve my skills. I feel like I am still somewhere between hobbyist and professional working with breaks and the worst I am emotionally bound to my work, it always means something more then lines and colors to me, the attitude which I want to change. In short, changes need to take place before I can work for somebody else again and put on paper the ideas of others.
Maybe I am a bit complicated but this is me Thank you everyone for support and understanding. I hope all of you had a great new year beginning…
Prints of my work are available through my Etsy Shop If you don't find the print you are looking for at my Etsy, please contact me. I print at home, so any size from ACEO to A4 available just let me know.

Ryder Cup Disappointment
In a stunning come from behind effort, the European team beat the US team at the Ryder Cup matches this past weekend. My disappointment isn't with the US loss – the Euros were brilliant. Well done boys!
I'm saddened by the lack of sportsmanship.
I don't like it when Americans cheer when the Euros hit a bad shot. Really? Cheering a failure? It's like booing; it just...isn't done. I don't like it when two professionals compete for 4 hours, being close to one another the entire time, and then only briefly shake hands at the end. No true congratulatory moments from the loser. Nothing more than well done and good effort. There's a lot of talk about what each team says among themselves, rather than the teams breaking bread together, and congratulating one another. I think if that would have been happening, it would have been reported.
There's some history here. You golfers know about Brookline, where an early celebration by an American team (and it WAS early) was seen as not cricket. What's been forgotten is Jack Nicklaus conceding a not trivial putt to Tony Jacklin in 1969 to allow the match to be halved (versus the Americans winning outright, even if the draw still meant the Americans kept the cup.) Nicklaus's decision was a classy move, giving a tip of the cap to friendly competition, rather than to competition between friends.
Why didn't a single US player walk over to the Euro crowd at the end, and look each of them in the eye, and shake hands, and say, "well played, gentlemen"? Why do I get the sense that some would see that as not being a "team player"?
When did competition overcome being a gentleman, or a lady? Was it the money? I suspect so. I wouldn't say sports stars have to be role models. They want to be jerks, fine. But there's a market for Phil Mickelson (see below).
It's become about the "W". But it ought to be about more.
We can do better. When you're at work, remember that you can compete in the marketplace. Compete hard. Work your tail off. And respect your competitors. Remember you're not competing against them but FOR the customer.
And teach your kids to congratulate the other team, genuinely. Bench them if they don't. It's okay to teach winning. But don't forget to teach living.
Except for Phil Mickelson
The exception this weekend was Phil Mickelson. As he was losing his match to a series of WOW putts by Euro Justin Rose, he smiled and clapped, and gave his fellow competitor a thumbs up each time. Well done, sir. I will tell my kids: be like Phil.
This is what I ask for: compete like the devil, but win or lose like the angels. Yes, I've seen Tiger win mind games with his competitors. And sure, winning is important.
But if winning is all it's about…well, that's small beer. And sometimes, sadly, it's American small beer, which just isn't as good.
Well played, Mark.... However.......
I thought the Euro press conference after the tournament was a bit much. I think there is a time to celebrate and during a press conference isn't one of those times. That said, this video of Sergio TRYING to explain his views on the weekend kept getting interrupted by him having to pass cups of champagne. I thought it was pretty funny.
Nicely done and a quote
Nice post Mark, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I recall thinking that Phil was a class act when he went out of his way to give props to Justin Rose for some incredible shots. It would have been so easy for him to roll his eyes and give the crowd the "he is just getting lucky, what can you do" look. Well done Phil!
I have to share one of my favorite quotes by Dr. Reiner Knizia, who is best known for his numerous designs of some excellent modern board games.
Reiner Knizia - "When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning."
That pretty much sums up everything I believe about competition and sportsmanship.
The More I Hear About Phil...
The more I admire and appreciate him. I've always pulled for him, and will do so even more now.
Nice post with great to
Nice post with great to know. Thanks for sharing your valuable thoughts.

The First Presbyterian Church of Mission hosts vocalist Yumi Castro in a concert this Sunday, Nov. 20, at 6:30 p.m. in the church's sanctuary located at 1102 Ash. The concert is open to the public and free of charge as a community service to Mission and the surrounding area.
"Yumi Castro has a voice that you will want to hear!" stated Pat Hudsonpillar, director of music and worship at the church.
A 13 year-old and eighth grader at the South Texas Preparatory Academy in Edinburg, she began singing in her church children's choir at age two and began her solo career at age nine. She has sung with the South Texas Lyric Opera, at the Road Runner baseball games, many weddings and funerals, and appears weekly on the 3ABN TV broadcasts.
According to Hudsonpillar, a love offering will be taken at the concert to help Yumi finish her first CD, which she stated that Yumi hopes will enable her to reach more people with her message of love for the Lord.

Customer Reviews
The product worked so well I bought another one for my wife.
My husband is really enjoying the cabin sure helps keep him warm when he is riding. He really is having fun.
A REAL PIECE OF JUNK AND I EXPECTED MORE FROM THE SPORTSMAN GUIDE. GREAT DESIGN , BUT THIS ATV CABIN LEAKS WATER ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IS NO MORE LEAK RESISTANT THAN HAVING NOTHING OVER MY ATV. VERY POOR MERCHANDISE QUALITY !!! I should take it off and ship it back to them, but to much work and hassle to do so. I GUESS I LEARNED MY LESSON WITH THIS ONE AND I KNOW THAT THE SPORTSMAN GUIDE WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO SELL THEM .
I was very satisfied with the atv cabin. The instructions are easy to follow and it keeps the wind off when i'm plowing.Does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Very cheap made. One zipper pulled off prior getting to use the cabin and after a couple times using it now the other side broke. Now u can not zip it.

In the previous example I demonstrated how to trigger a PL/SQL function from a business event. In this article I shall illustrate how to send a notification from a business event.
For demonstration I shall create a subscription to the event I had created earlier. You can check it out here. In this example I shall add another subscription to the same event to send a notification. Thus there will be 2 subscriptions on the same event. Once the event is raised it will trigger off both subscriptions.
Step 1: Create the workflow message
Create the workflow
Create the message
Ensure that the workflow message has the same attributes that will be used while raising the event. If the message does not use the same attributes the message will not be sent and the Event subscription will error out.
Step 2: Create the subscription
Query for the event created
Click on the Subscription icon
Click on Create Subscription button and enter the details as shown below.
Note that the Action Type is set to Send Notification. Click on Next button.
- Enter the Message Type with the internal name of the workflow we have created in Step 1.
- Enter the Message Name with the internal name of the message in the workflow.
- Enter the Recipient as SA1. This means that only the user SA1 will receive the notification.
- The Owner Name and Owner Tag should be valid application names.
Click on Apply button on the right hand side and you will get a confirmation message.
Click on Cancel button and you will get to see all the subscriptions for the event.
Now the configuration is complete.
Test the subscription
We shall raise the event using PL/SQL we can execute the following code. As an alternate you can raise the event directly from the OAF page. This is shown in the previous article.
DECLARE x_event_parameter_list wf_parameter_list_t; x_user_id INTEGER := 140; x_user_name VARCHAR2(100) := 'PennePasta'; x_param wf_parameter_t; x_event_name VARCHAR2(100) := 'xx.oracle.apps.test'; x_event_key VARCHAR2(100) := 'PP001'; x_parameter_index NUMBER := 0; BEGIN x_event_parameter_list := wf_parameter_list_t(); --Lets add the first value to the Event Parameter i.e. user_id x_param := wf_parameter_t(NULL ,NULL); x_event_parameter_list.EXTEND; -- Set the value for the first Event Parameter i.e. User ID x_param.setname('XX_TEST_USER_ID'); x_param.setvalue(x_user_id); x_parameter_index := x_parameter_index + 1; x_event_parameter_list(x_parameter_index) := x_param; -- Set the value for the second Event Parameter i.e. User Name x_param := wf_parameter_t(NULL ,NULL); x_event_parameter_list.EXTEND; x_param.setname('XX_TEST_USER_NAME'); x_param.setvalue(x_user_name); x_parameter_index := x_parameter_index + 1; x_event_parameter_list(x_parameter_index) := x_param; -- Raise the event wf_event.RAISE(p_event_name => x_event_name ,p_event_key => x_event_key ,p_parameters => x_event_parameter_list /*,p_event_data => p_data*/ ); END; /
Query the table XX_EVENT_RESULT. You will find the data passed in the PL/SQL to raise the event (refer to the previous article)
Now we shall login to Oracle as SA1 user to check whether the notification is sent or not. After logging in as SA1 user we can see the notification on top of the list of open notifications in the Worklist section.
This is done by clicking on Full List button. We find the notification as shown below.
Click on the notification.
We can view the notification sent by the Event subscription.
Thus we see that both event subscription has been executed simultaneously by raising the same event.
If we had sent some workflow message as a notification which did not have the same attributes as the ones we had raised then the subscription would have resulted in an error and an Error workflow, System: Error, would have been executed to send the error to the System Administrator. The process within the workflow that sends this notification is Default Event Error Process.
If you check the workflow in Status Monitor,
Check the Activity History of the first workflow,
Check the Notification
The error message within the notification tells us that the attribute does not exist in the message.

|API of Lincoln, NE
|Peaceful Parenting for a Peaceful World
The mission of Attachment Parenting International (API) is to promote parenting practices that create strong, healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents. We believe these practices nurture and fulfill a child's need for trust, empathy, and affection, providing a lifelong foundation for healthy, enduring relationships.
Through education, support, advocacy and research, API seeks to strengthen families and increase awareness of the importance of secure attachment, ultimately helping to reduce or prevent child abuse, behavioral disorders, criminal acts and other serious social problems.
|Monthly Support Group Meetings
We look forward to seeing you and your family at one of our meetings. (Expectant parents, fathers, mothers, and anyone interested in attachment parenting are invited.) Meetings are child-friendly. Come meet other parents and learn the latest about attachment parenting techniques and ideas. We also offer a small lending library of books and soft baby carriers (slings, wraps, etc...).
Many people refer to API as a sister organization of La Leche League (LLL); however, geared for providing support to parents from the infant years to and through the teenage years. If you espouse responding sensitively to your child and using other parenting methods that create strong emotional bonds, also known as secure attachment, this group is for you! Are you still asking why you should attend? Here is a good answer: to refresh your soul, support others going through similar ages and stages, and to just have fun! Come join us!
API membership is not required, but is encouraged to sustain the activities of the group and support the work of API. For more information about membership, please contact us.
|The 8 Principles of Attachment Parenting
1. Prepare for Pregnancy, Birth, and Parenting
2. Feed with Love and Respect
3. Respond with Sensitivity
4. Use Nurturing Touch
5. Engage in Nighttime Parenting
6. Provide Consistent and Loving Care
7. Practice Positive Discipline
8. Strive for Balance in Personal and Family Life
Disclosure about The 8 Principles of Attachment Parenting
API acknowledges that every family has unique circumstances with distinct needs and resources. The Eight Principles are intended to help parents better understand normal child development, to help parents identify their children's needs, and to aid parents in responding to their children with respect and empathy. API recommends parents use their own judgment and intuition to create a parenting style that fosters attachment and works for their family. Many API support groups start each meeting by saying "Take what works for your family and leave the rest."
|What is attachment parenting?
The essence of Attachment Parenting is about forming and nurturing strong connections between parents and their children. Attachment Parenting challenges us as parents to treat our children with kindness, respect and dignity, and to model in our interactions with them the way we'd like them to interact with others.The simple truth is that when we strengthen families, we nurture and fulfill our children's need for trust, respect, and affection, and ultimately provide a lifelong foundation for healthy, enduring relationships.
API promotes parenting practices that create strong, healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents. For life. So they can take those bonds with them into their adult lives and share them with their children. And their children can do the same, creating a life cycle of compassion and connection.
Attachment parenting is the philosophy and practice of parenting methods that foster strong, healthy emotional bonds between parents and children.
This approach values responsiveness to the infant or child's physical and emotional needs, nurturing their trust that those needs will be met. Securely attached children develop secure, empathic, peaceful and enduring relationships throughout their lives.
Attachment parenting isn't "new". It is in many ways a return to the parenting methods of our ancestors. Some people would describe it as a natural or intuitive parenting style. In the last 60 years, the behaviors of attachment parenting have been studied extensively by psychology and child development researchers, and more recently, by researchers studying the brain. This body of knowledge offers strong support for areas that are key to the optimal development of children, summarized and promoted by API's 8 Principles of Attachment Parenting.

Chiropractic medicine is based on the relationship between the alignment of the spine and the function of the body and the belief that the body can heal itself.
With use of manual manipulation of the spine, chiropractors believe they can improve a person's health without surgery or medication. They believe most illnesses are due to blockages along the nerve bundles in the spinal cord. These blockages are found through physical examination and X-rays. Some chiropractors also prescribe exercises to do at home. Chiropractors may perform laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging, and other diagnostic interventions. Some chiropractors practice other modalities, such as nutrition and complementary medicine, but these subjects are not a major part of chiropractic specialty.
Treatment may include lying on your stomach on a special table, while the chiropractor uses his or her hands and elbows to realign the spine.
Chiropractic treatments have proven to be effective in treating certain lower back pain symptoms and muscle and other bone pains.
Chiropractic medicine dates back to the times of ancient Egypt. However, not until the 1890s was modern chiropractic practice defined by an American. Chiropractic training is not equivalent to the training licensed medical doctors receive, but it is extensive. Doctors of Chiropractic Medicine have had at least three years of college with an emphasis on biology or basic sciences, followed by a minimum of four years of training at an accredited chiropractic college.

Classic Hoof Pick Belt
Maxwell's Daily Find 03.15.13
Classic Hoof Pick Belt
• $145
• Wiley Brothers Belts
I'm dipping my toes a bit into fashion here, but I saw this belt on a guy at the Arch Digest Show last weekend and thought it was a great design item. A brass hoof pick on a dark leather 1 1/2" belt, Wiley says it's their "signature." And for the adventurous, there's the Large Hoof Pick Belt, which "cannot be found anywhere else."
1 Comment
"their "signature."
Not sure how long they have been making these but I have been seeing them in Tack shops since I was a kid (and for about $35 with a nice leather belt...)
It is a great design and quite functional!

With the Montreal Canadiens fading in the Eastern Conference playoff race, many have turned to speculating over who could replace Pierre Gauthier and become the club's next general manager.
In terms of candidates looking to take over as Montreal Canadiens general manager - should that opportunity arise - there is no shortage of interest from those who would be on the outside looking in.
Jacques Martin is the former coach of the Canadiens and still has time left on his deal. That move would come as a surprise to many.
But there are a few reasons to consider Martin for the job. He's a very smart hockey man and has the respect of many around the National Hockey League. He has previous NHL general managerial experience and he's owed as much as $3 million by the club.
Julien BriseBois - who is currently an assistant general manager with the Tampa Bay Lightning under Steve Yzerman - would also be on the list of possibilities.
BriseBois is a strong up-and-comer. He's got great pedigree working alongside Yzerman and spent nine seasons in the Montreal Canadiens organization. He truly was Bob Gainey's right-hand man before Gauthier came in.
Many believe BriseBois might be the underdog. He might work alongside the likes of Pierre Lacroix or perhaps even a longshot like Serge Savard.
Doug Risebrough is a consultant with the New York Rangers and won four Stanley Cups with the Canadiens as a player. He would also be on the list.
The team could look at Claude Loiselle, currently an assistant general manager with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He is a smart guy who's very CBA-savvy and specializes in negotiation and arbitration.
John Ferguson Jr. is now the director of pro scouting with the San Jose Sharks but comes with managerial experience. He's very conversant when it comes to the language. The move to the top of the Canadiens wouldn't be an issue for him.
Pierre McGuire, who is an NBC and former TSN analyst, has the support of Scotty Bowman. Pierre possesses an encyclopedic knowledge and knows the players well.
Finally there's Marc Bergevin, who is an assistant general manager under Stan Bowman with the Chicago Blackhawks. He has been with the team a long, long time and is learning the craft. He may not be quite ready for the job, but he is getting close.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using zidovudine injection (Retrovir IV)?
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to zidovudine, or if you are using any other drugs that contain zidovudine, such as Combivir or Trizivir.
Before using zidovudine, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
- kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis);
- liver disease; or
- bone marrow suppression.
If you have any of these conditions, you may not be able to use zidovudine or you may need a dosage adjustment or special tests during treatment.
Zidovudine may cause lactic acidosis (the build up of lactic acid in the body). Lactic acidosis symptoms can start slowly and gradually get worse. Symptoms include unusual muscle pain and weakness, trouble breathing, fast or uneven heart rate, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and numbness or cold feeling in your arms or legs. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms, even if they are only mild. Early signs of lactic acidosis generally get worse over time and this condition can be fatal.
Zidovudine can also cause severe or life-threatening effects on your liver. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms while using zidovudine: nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, stomach pain, low fever, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. HIV can be passed to the baby if the mother is not properly treated during pregnancy. Use all of your HIV medicines as directed to control your infection while you are pregnant.
Your name may need to be listed on an antiviral pregnancy registry when you start using zidovudine. The purpose of this registry is to track the outcome of the pregnancy and delivery to evaluate whether zidovudine had any effect on the baby.
You should not breast-feed while you are using zidovudine. Women with HIV or AIDS should not breast-feed at all. Even if your baby is born without HIV, you may still pass the virus to the baby in your breast milk.
How should I use zidovudine injection (Retrovir IV)?
Use this medication exactly as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Do not use more of the medication than recommended. Do not use zidovudine for longer than your doctor has prescribed. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Zidovudine is given as an injection through a needle placed into a vein. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection. You may be given instructions on how to inject your medicine at home. Do not use this medicine at home if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of needles and other items used in giving the medicine.
Zidovudine must be given slowly through an IV infusion, and can take up to an hour to complete.
Use each needle and syringe only one time. Throw away used needles and syringes in a puncture-proof container. If your medicine does not come with such a container, ask your pharmacist where you can get one. Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets. Your pharmacist can tell you how to properly dispose of the container.
It is important to use zidovudine regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
HIV/AIDS is usually treated with a combination of different drugs. To best treat your condition, use all of your medications as directed by your doctor. Be sure to read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each of your medications. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without advice from your doctor. Every person with HIV or AIDS should remain under the care of a doctor.
To be sure this medication is helping your condition, your blood will need to be tested on a regular basis. Your liver function may also need to be tested. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.
Zidovudine injection must be mixed with a liquid (diluent) before injecting it.
After mixing the medication, you may store it at room temperature if it is used within 24 hours.
You may also store the mixed medication in a refrigerator, but you must use it within 48 hours.

As of Tuesday, November 29, 2011

ATLANTA — The Georgia Supreme Court has upheld murder convictions in two Southwest Georgia cases, the court announced this afternoon.
In a case out of Ben Hill County, the court upheld the murder conviction and life sentence of Dewayne Lee Hendricks.
The high court also upheld the murder conviction and life sentence of Joe Elvin Cloud of Miller County. In that case, the court tossed a separate conviction against Cloud for aggravated assault, saying the charge was for the same incident and should have been merged with the malice murder conviction for sentencing purposes.

I got the chicken for my 1 year old niece at Christmas in hopes that it would become her "lovie". They live in Iowa and I live in Connecticut so I had to check in regularly that her mom was "softly encouragaing" Piper to adopt "Larry the Lovie" as her favorite go-to stuffed animal. Thankfully, she has!! Unfortunately I got a call from her mom the other day that "larry the lovie" now named "bock bock" had some unfortunate bodily fluid on him, which tends to happen with toddlers. I went back to the store where I bought "him" and found another one thankfully! I love these animals, they are so unique and cuddly! I'm so happy Bock Bock is Piper's lovie! :) Thanks Maggie!

Nacho Figueras isn't letting a little problem like an injury slow down his summer (the Argentine polo god broke his hip last May during a tournament in England). Figueras has other duties to attend to: namely raising his kids and showing his face to the world as a model for Ralph Lauren. We spoke to the Wellington fixture, who is the face for the designer's latest men's cologne, Polo Red.
What have you done this summer so far? How are you recovering?
I have spent some time in Europe and at my farm in Argentina. I just started riding again and can't wait to start flying on a horse. I play tennis three times a week with a trainer. I stretch and ride almost every day, which is the most important exercise for me. I play practice games four to five times a week.
How are your kids [with wife Delfina Blaquier] ? Any take up polo yet?
[Alba] is six months old, and just started crawling. We are all having a great time seeing her grow. My 13-year-old son Hilario plays a lot and really loves it. My 8-year-old daughter Aurora loves to ride, and Artemio, 3, has also started riding. His pony is called Spirit.
You're the face of so many fragrances. What is your favorite scent?
I personally like the smell of the wet earth after it rains, and I also like leather.
What was the first cologne you ever wore?
I started using Polo Green when I was 9 years old. I bought it because I loved that it had a polo player on the bottle. Little did I know that I would represent that brand for so long later in my life! It brings back so many great childhood memories, but I also still use it now.
If you didn't play polo, what would you do?
I couldn't imagine myself without being around horses, but I love art and architecture as well.
You appeared in the movie "13." Do you have a dream acting project?
I would love to see a movie that can show people all the spectacular lifestyle and hard work around my sport. Something like what Days of Thunder was for NASCAR.

FLORENCE — With points at a premium Saturday the North Alabama women came up with just enough hustle plays to get the job done.
The Lions grinded for 40 minutes before pulling away in the final minutes to claim a 52-42 victory over Delta State.
With the win UNA (16-7, 9-4 GSC) moved into second place in the GSC standings, a half game ahead of Delta State (13-7, 8-4) and one game behind Union. The win also gave the Lions a sweep of the Statesmen in the regular season.
The matchup of the two top defensive teams in the conference produced a defensive struggle. Both teams struggled offensively and neither team made a 3-pointer until Delta State hit one in the closing seconds.
"Coach told us it was the two best defensive teams in the conference, so we would see which defense would step up," freshman guard Jennifer Towne said.
"We had to stay focused and not lose anybody. We just kept grinding and didn't let up."
Delta State shot just 29.3 percent for the game. The Lions shot the ball better (46.3 percent), but hurt themselves with 22 turnovers and made just 14 of 26 free-throw attempts.
"It was just a classic ugly basketball game," coach Terry Fowler said. "I expected it to be that way because it was two good defenses going at it. I figured the first team to get to 50 had a good chance to win and we were able to get there."
With leading scorer Mekena Randle on the bench for most of the fist half with two fouls, the Lions struggled to score. Delta State led by five early before settling for a 22-21 halftime lead.
Sarah Bailey gave UNA a spark early in the second half, scoring four points in an 8-0 run that put the Lions up 31-26. Delta State was unable to cut into the lead until just under the five-minute mark when UNA began to turn the ball over.
Two straight UNA turnovers allowed Delta State to pull within a basket at 41-39 with 4:40 remaining.
"Even after all of the turnovers we were keeping each other up," Towne said. "We were not about to back down at that point."
Bailey again stepped up for the Lions. The senior guard made a key play on a missed free throw to help UNA retain possession and then scored on the inbounds pass to push the lead to 44-39. Bailey then deflected a pass and got the ball to Towne on the break for a layup that made it 46-49 with 2:40 to play.
"We kept looking to get the lead to six or eight and we finally did," Fowler said. "Sarah came up with some big hustle plays for us. That stretch gave us the separation we needed."
Towne and Lauren Faris each made three free throws in the final 90 seconds to seal the win.
Fillmore led UNA with 15 points, followed by Towne with 13 and Bailey with 10. Seneca Walton paced Delta State with 13 points.
UNA will not play again until traveling to Union on Saturday.
"Getting the sweep against Delta is big because we have the tiebreaker on them," Fowler said. "Now we have some time to practice and concentrate on getting better. If we can do that and limit our mistakes this team can be really good."

Second 118, third Schott
First the technical stuff, this is 118 number two for me, my old one just having given it's life in an accident with a clueless driver. Unfortunately, my jacket couldn't be saved, but it did a great job of keeping my skin on my body! Thanks Portland Outdoors for coming through with a new one right away. Buy the size you would normally wear, as they run very true. Schotts are really well made, and will last almost for forever. If you're looking for a lightweight jacket, the 118 is not for you. Try a 618 or a 125/115 instead so you can feel the difference. Now the important stuff.....and since you're looking at this page, here's what you're really looking to find out: 118's are THE jacket to own whether you ride or not. When you walk into a room or down the street wearing one, you're going to get noticed, so deal with it. This jacket is going to make a statement and people are going to talk, particularly if a jacket like this has not been a part of you in the past. You're not wearing this to be ignored. A 118 becomes part of your personality and they tell other people a lot about who you are are. If you buy some junk knock off, well, that's really not the statement you want to make, is it? Don't think people can't tell the difference. Sure these cost more, but good stuff from beer to clothing usually does. You can wear this jacket every day, as it goes equally well with jeans and a black t shirt, or with a shirt and tie. Only two things: you'll need to wear it a lot to break it in, that's the only way it's going to become part of you, and like it or not, as others here have said, leather doesn't do you any favors if you're not in shape. 118s are strong, solid, cool.

Timeless Quality
I owned this jacket in my early 20's from 1987 to 1992. I absolutely loved it, and wore it everywhere back then-- out on the town, and motorcycling interstate to Oregon. Went down twice wearing it-- once when a driver turned left in front of me. I flew onto the hood, slid up the windshield, and landed on the pavement on the car's far side. The jacket protected me well. I walked away with minor bruises, and the jacket barely suffered a scuff. In time, I gave my beloved jacket to my then sweetheart, Lori.
Fast forward 18 years. Lori called me up from out of the blue, and asked if I wanted to 'borrow' my jacket. She was placing most of her belongings into storage to pursue a new job out of state. She wanted to make sure the jacket was cared for.
I motorcycled two hours for a brief but sweet reunion, and saw my old Schott again for the first time. It looked perfect, just as beautiful as the day I gave it to her. Slipping it on and drawing the belt through the chrome buckle-- the beautiful leather, comfort and perfect fit of the jacket left me awestruck. I'd gained a few pounds but it still fit like a glove. I wore my now 'vintage' Schott (LOL) on the ride home, enjoying a flood of wonderful memories. I can tell you first hand that Schott quality truly is timeless.
I still wear this jacket from time to time, (and I STILL get compliments on it) but I try to preserve it for Lori. I bought two more Schotts, and the new ones are just as awesome.

Great Jacket - Great Service
Just got my custom Perfecto 118. Thanks to Gail it's perfect. Very high quality construction and features that will be appreciated when I'm riding.
Gail really distinguishes Schott from the other brands and she makes sure that you are getting the right fit in the right jacket at the right time.
If you're a biker who demands the best in your riding gear I would recommend Schott and if you've decided to reward yourself with a custom jacket you can trust Gail to guide you through the process. My riding buddies are all looking to trade up now. LOL

Finally.....A Perfecto!!!
Just put a Perfecto on. 2,3,4 hundred dollars for a knock-off? Just a little more.......and you could have a jacket that simply feels like no other. This jacket feels so good, the break-in period won't even piss me off. Just got a killer deal at Latus Motors in Gladstone,Or.. Seriously considered wearing to bed the first night. If you ever go down in the Perfecto, you first words to the paramedics will be "DON'T CUT THE JACKET!" instead of "How's the bike?".

Forget the rest...Perfecto is the BEST!!!
Hello all!
I just got my first new Schott Perfecto. It is the 118 in naked cowhide, and MAN is it a beauty! I got my first biker jacket in 1984 when I was 14, it came from Montgomery Wards ;-)). I have had many many jackets since, including several from well heeled manufacturers Vanson and Dainese. This jacket, by far, blows them away!! It is as the name suggests, PERFECT! I never kept any biker jacket for long, I never had that "at home" feeling like I do in my new Schott. I can't wait for the heat of summer to end, so I can start breaking my new 118 in!!

Aptly named
I ordered this on October 1st 2010...it arrived here (Ireland) on October 3rd. I've owned 3 Perfectos previously but never actually bought one direct from Schott. I should have come here first. The reason I didn't opt for a "new" one before was because I wanted that vintage/worn in look without having to go through the whole breaking-in period. For anyone who, like me, is impatient when it comes to matters of all things being broken in...have no doubt! The naked cowhide on these 118s are super soft and you can feel it contouring to your shape immediately. Also, these latest batches of 118s have a back length of 26" (in my size 44) which is a major plus as my previous Perfectos were just too short. As the name suggests these jackets are indeed perfect (yes, I know they were originally named after a cigar but there's no doubting the perfection and quality here).
Gail was great during the whole process. Great communication and a lovely person. If you're checking out second hand Schott jackets on Ebay then don't waste your time. Spend the extra few quid and get it new direct from Schott. You will not be disappointed. I was thinking it'd be years before I'd achieve that broken in look but with this leather I'd give it 2 months tops. The quality of the leather and the workmanship are pristine. The naked cowhide lends itself perfectly to a fast break-in period.
Now to go and smell it again (I LOVE the smell of leather) and stare at it with love hearts in me eyes.

just love this jacket
I use this jacket as the jacket i ride with everyday in all weather and i just love it. the leather is so nice pictures don't do it justice. it's heavy enough to be protective but not bulky like a lot of other motorcycle jackets.
i find myself wearing this jacket in completely inappropriate situations because i like it so much, it's becoming my daily jacket just because i really just love putting it on. tough to describe until you put one of these on.

the latest 118, updated!
just got my new 118, wow, one noticeable difference has to be te sleeve circumference, people on legendaryusa website has been complaining about sleeves blooning up while riding, and vintage perfecto jackets tend to have smaller sleeves, so, now Schott regressed it back to the vintage size again while maintaining other modern features. the bell shaped cuff zipper is an improvement on the stick zipper too! overall, great jacket!

Perfecto 118
This is a really good jacket. The leather is high quality, and the garment is well made and looks good. What I could not figure out is how to fold the outer flaps up and zip it all the way up to keep out cold air when riding without a windshield. I had another jacket of the same style that had snaps on the inside to snap the flaps into place and then to snap the collar down when the zipper was all the way to the top. This jacket did not seem to have that feature.

First off, I have to commend Schott on their customer service. Many have mentioned this before me, but the kind of attention I was given (by one Jerri Reyes) is unlike that of any company I've dealt with prior. First, she helped me decide how the 118 would fit me relative to the 613, which I tried on but found too short. Her advice was spot on, and this jacket fits like a dream. Secondly, she helped clarify my shipping address (the last thing I needed was a misdelivery!). All on all, I could give 5 stars for customer service alone.
Next, the shipping. I'm lucky enough to live in New York City, so the jackets are being shipped out of our backyard here. The best part, however, was my order was shipped within hours after I placed my order. The wait time was absolutely minimal. If not for the holiday on Monday, I would have received it then. Order it Friday, get it next business day - nothing to sneeze at there.
Now, the jacket. It is a thing of beauty. The smell coming off it is almost intoxicating. This is my first leather jacket, and I figured I'd go big. It is a solid, heavy jacket that felt as though it was molding to my body the second I put it on. Everything felt as though it was tailored to me (I am 5'11, about 175 pounds). The picture with the model is actually misleading; the length is accurate but the sleeves look billowy. This was not the case. I've never had a jacket where the sleeves have fit my arms so perfectly. The sleeve ends right above my wrist, so there is no dangle. The shape on my arms is sleek and narrow. I was very excited about this, as a jacket with too-large arms looks incredibly stupid.
The fit is less snug than the traditional 613/618, which is perfect for me. I am an active person and not overweight, but having a bit of room in the jacket was a plus for me so I can fit a slightly thicker sweater beneath it for layering purposes. It still looks nice and fitted with nothing but a collared shirt underneath it, so regardless of the temperature I will feel great in the jacket.
I balked at the price for months before finally deciding to take the plunge. I'm glad I did. Feeling the jacket on me makes me realize I'll never regret it. Now, all I have to do is stay the same size until I can gift the jacket to my heir in twenty years or so.
Buy the jacket.

Impeccable Perfecto
I just received my Perfecto 118 and I'm in awe of the amazing quality leather, impressive zippers & buckle, impeccable craftsmanship and stunning design. Hats off to a great American company and the employees that make it "World Famous" for it's great designs and skilled craftsmanship as well as outstanding customer service. Yes, the 118 is true to size and has a very smart fitted look. I'm 6" and wear a size 42. Sleeve length is perfect. Waist is pecfect. It fits as though it was customed made for me and feels as though I have worn it for ever. A special thank you to Jerri for her patience and guidance in assisting me with my selection. I agree with a previous poster "This jacket does make a dramatic statement". Thank you Schottnyc!

You only need one jacket - this one!
I have had my 118 for more than 10 years. I have ridden all over the US, in all types of weather: below freezing, hail, raining in buckets and sunny warm days and there is no other jacket I would ever desire to wear. This will be the one and only motorcycle jacket you will ever want or need, period. Highly recommending it seems to be a dis-service to the jacket.

Perfecto 118 - Excellent jacket, great fit
I've owned several other leather motorcycling jackets (imported brands) over the years, but NONE can compare to a Schott Perfecto. Putting it on, you can immediately feel the difference in quality materials, AMERICAN workmanship, and overall "fit". I also own a Schott A-2 flight jacket, and the superior fit and quality is again second to none. I wear a size 48 regular. The Perfecto 118 is true-to-size, and fits me extremely well. A highly recommended riding jacket. Buy it!

X-Mas came early for me today
My wife and son just picked up my Schott Classic Perfecto 118 Jacket today from Fog City Leather in San Francisco, The owner is one hell of a
nice guy.
I was looking at the One Star Perfecto but was unable to locate one in my area to try on, Fog City had one 118 in stock in a 44 reg. we drove 3 hours to the city to check it out OMG what a jacket what a a fit and feel I was sold on it right then. Only bad thing is they won't let me wear it they have to wrap it and put it under the tree evil people they are. thanks Schott and Fog City. Sure glad I did not order that $200 dollor knock off.
