The End of a Good Party
and Other Stories
Fiction by Jean Ross Justice
University of Tampa Press, December 2008
Paperback: 224pp; $14.00
Review by Vince Corvaia
With the stories of Jean Ross Justice, it is moments and images you come away with, details that stay with you long after the stories as a whole have faded.
For instance, in "Night Thoughts," what remains isn't so much the middle-of-the-night visit by an acquaintance's latest flame, but something Luke notices in the street a few nights earlier – a man and woman kissing in front of a temporarily parked car. Why are they out there? Did impulse overtake them while they were changing drivers?: "That couple kissing out here the other night: in the glare of the headlights it had been a moment out of a play, out of a movie being shot there on the street; almost imaginary, lovely and mysterious."
"Lovely and mysterious" is a good way to describe Justice's style. The nocturnal visitation itself has an air of mystery about it. Just why did Arnie Yost's girlfriend, Beverly – "skinny and intense, with light frizzy hair and miniature teeth" – come to call at all, waking Luke on the couch to have coffee and talk about someone from her past? It's what Justice doesn't spell out that is most enticing. And the couple in the street. Do they represent an erotic vision of Luke and Beverly? Luke and his ex, Sally? No, they seem to be just who they are: two strangers kissing in the road, taking their meaning with them when they drive away.
In the title story, what lingers aren't the parties themselves, but a makeshift séance during one of those parties, Claudia trying to reach an old friend, Julian. The protagonist, Victor, isn't sure what to think: "It was silly, but it gave me goose pimples anyway, and I jiggled the table with my knee. 'Vic, stop it! I'm serious.'" The attempt to reach Julian through a control, or a spirit of one who has been departed for a longer time, proves unsuccessful, as it should. Had Claudia made contact, it would have become a different kind of story altogether. But the poignancy of the attempt, the overall sad and comic sense of the scene, makes it unforgettable.
Justice's characters are by and large kind and lonely people, and we relate to them because they reflect ourselves in their universality. Take "The Offer" (so to speak). It begins, "He was one of their best friends, and he was ill." The main characters are known simply as the wife, the husband, and the sick friend, thus lending weight to their universality.
The sick friend needs a kidney transplant. The wife is considering giving him one of hers. This sends the husband into a world of his own, apart from her, as he considers why she might want to extend such an extraordinary favor upon a friend, a colleague of his. Could there be more to their friendship than he perceives? He is slowly consumed with jealousy, and it was "Too bad he couldn't hook himself up to a machine, like the friend, and get this poison out of his system."
The story is told in the third person, but we experience it through the husband's mind. And yes, there is a lovely, random moment that remains with the reader: "Through the skylight over the bed he saw, one morning, two softly dissolving jet streams crossed in a giant X – did that mean something?" That is the Justice touch. We are left, along with the husband, to interpret this possible sign as we will.
Throughout the eighteen stories in The End of a Good Party, we meet ordinary people in seemingly ordinary circumstances, but those circumstances are imbued with Justice's fine sense of wonder and empathy. There is a touch of Chekhov here, and that is as fine a compliment as can be made.
A Series/A Sequence
Poetry by Dirk Stratton
NeO Pepper Press, September 2008
Chapbook: 40pp; $10.00
Review by Joseph P. Wood
Dirk Stratton's new chapbook of poems, A Series/A Sequence, is a throwback of sorts. In an age where E-Books and particularly E-Chaps are abundant due to the explosion of the blogosphere and readily available publishing software, Stratton's chap is handmade and released in a very limited run. The book is constructed "old-school": side stapled, stock cover, paper one could find at a neighborhood Kinkos. Rather than seeming fly-by-night and hurried, however, A Series/A Sequence is lovingly made, with beautiful embossed imprints on each cover – notice I do not say the "front" and "back" of the book. A Series/A Sequence is actually two separate suites of poems that are thematically and aesthetically linked. Hold the book one way, one can read through "Capitulation Suite," which constitutes the Series part of the chap. Flip the book over and one discovers another suite of lyrical, borderline-concrete poems entitled "Laiku," which makes up the Sequence. In constructing the chap in this manner, NeO Pepper has joined a growing movement of grassroots to make poetry books that are pieces of art as opposed to mass-produced commodity. The pleasures of A Series/A Sequence rest in its construction as much its poetry, though one feels inextricable from the other.
Though both "Capitulation Suite" and "Laiku" occupy the same book and are compliments to each other, each suite displays a wildly different aesthetic. At the heart of "Capitulation" are big, fat existential questions: what meaning do we derive from existence? Why do we construct stories to make sense of our experiences? These are not poems where the 21st century world enters with cell phones and plasma TVs. Rather, they are located strongly in a generalized, philosophical world, such as in the suite's sixth section:
Loving both the singular and the constant,
it's clear why we're addicted
to frontiers, why we need new ones
every day. Once stepped on, the moon
bores us.
And we felt cheated: billions
spent to be first, for what? Footprints?
A flag hanging like laundry? A box of rocks?
In this zone of middle distances,
lost against those vast closed
spaces of fact, we are cairns
of flesh and bones, mobile markers
of mortality, rolling from the center, staggering
in the wake of our steadfast waste, our chaos
too small, and our ghosts too eager.
While stepping on the moon is a relatively new phenomenon, considering its meaning is not. This excerpt incorporates references to The Tao of Physics and to Nietzsche (who was referencing Copernicus). Stratton's Series manages to take on broad ideas without lapsing into the static language of philosophy. Instead, his work displays a lyrical compactness and astute ear (the sonic patterns of "m" and "s" in the final stanza, for instance). More importantly, the poet arrives at no answers, but instead gestures towards other larger questions of existence and meaning. In a way, Stratton's aesthetic harkens back to Stevens or Yates, and more recently, William Bronk, who made a living on straddling the line between philosophy and poetry. Yet, Stratton's poems overtly criticize our use of narrative – and by extension, the confessional/self-referential poetry that has been an American staple these past few decades. In this way, these poems feel like a timely response to a major strand of contemporary American letters.
On the other hand, Stratton's second suite of poems, "Laiku," inhabits a completely different universe: the nature lyric, though with a concrete-poem sensibility. The poems appear as if they were hammered out on a typewriter, and they tend to be all over the page. Moreover, the poems also break words up, often letting letters of the same word drop to the next line or simply space the letters apart on the same line. I kept thinking back to the work of John Hollander and others of his ilk, who wanted to prove the typewriter could bring a truly tactile sense to poetry. Yet, "Laiku," at its heart, is a suite of nature lyrics. The first two poems frame the suite: they focus on human consciousness and perception. After that, the poems are broken up by season, each offering there own types of tightly lyrical, emotionally big moments, such as in one of the numerous sections entitled "Winter":
in the blue calm
after the blizzard
Though the stanzaics are quite different, one is brought back to Snyder here, and perhaps other West Coast nature poets of the 60s and 70s (particularly with the de-emphasis on human will and story). Though some might find this kind of poetry in a modern context somewhat imitative, I believe it has a profoundly different effect within the context of this chapbook. "Laiku" is the natural response to "Capitulation Suite": if humans forgo their stories, what's left? The answer, simply, is to exist, to be part of the larger cosmic order. This concept might not be a radically new thought, but Stratton's placement of it within a call-and-response is quite inventive. Ultimately, Stratton is not simply "making the old new"; he and NeO Pepper, in their localized way, are encouraging contemporary poetry readers to think beyond their era's attitudes and predilections.
The Pets
Novel by Bragi Ólafsson
Open Letter Press, October 2008
Hardcover: 157; $14.95
Review by Sean Lovelace
Everything I know about Iceland could fit into a shoebox: two Björk CDs, a six of Viking beer, a tin of cured ram scrota (a gag gift by one of my "friends"). But I do find the unique and au courant alluring, and my ventures into the unknown often prove worthwhile or at worst innocuous (the only extreme exceptions being Riverdance and Robo-Tripping – I seriously advise you to lay off both, no matter what the cool kids say.)
Björk, I like. She reminds me of the morning after an ice storm. Her voice is cut bouquet, glacier torsos, etc. Her best music was during the Sugarcubes days; though no one noticed (they do now). Her bass player was Bragi Ólafsson. The Sugarcubes crumbled, Bragi spiraled away. He sat in dark rooms with himself. He wrote novels.
For example, The Pets, by Open Letter Press, the University of Rochester's nonprofit, literary translation press (the original text is in Icelandic, and titled Gaeludyrin). This is Ólafsson's first book to appear in English.
It is a comic novel. Situational, in its way. Here is the eccentric menagerie of characters on the transatlantic flight (a classic comedy technique – there is nowhere to escape). Here is a man crawling through our narrator's window (pratfalls, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, etc.). And, from page 65 to the final word (p. 157), here is a protagonist hiding beneath his bed. Basically an entire novel, a cast of lively characters, stirrings of conflict, crisp dialogue, all from a small apartment, all delivered by a first person narrator – from under his bed! Quite the literary feat. The author is humble. He says (interview from University of Rochester's translation program blog, Three Percent):
"But that the main character is trapped under his bed is not really a restriction, on the contrary it's very helpful for the imagination of the person writing the story. In fact I would like to write more novels from that point of view, I feel comfortable under a bed, it's probably something from childhood."
Things I liked about this book:
1.) The narrator. For the majority of the book, our guide is first person POV. He is intelligent, often witty, a bit wounded (divorced, separated from his young son). In a word, sympathetic. This narrator passed a key test for me as reader: I would have a beer with him. Remember, he is hiding under his bed. And he isn't exactly sure why. As a metaphor, I hope we can all relate. Hiding under the beds we've made. Dodging conflict. Avoiding consequences. Wondering about the smallness, closeness, oddness of our situations, our lives.
2.) The drinking. Cognacs and double vodkas and red wines and beer. Honestly, I just like to drink, and am actually writing this review while polishing off a bottle of Shiraz, so most any alcohol reference gives a tiny spark, and makes me feel less existentially alone. In this novel, all of the characters drink, often, glass after drained glass, nonchalant and necessary as the rain. This may be an Icelandic virtue, since colder, more Northern cultures certainly embrace alcohol, possibly as curative to bone-gnawing wind, snow, ice, sleet, a lingering mental state as low and large as the leaden sky. The writer, of course, uses alcohol for something more, as technique, as craft (see Raymond Carver 101). Alcohol lowers inhibitions. Opens the characters to tension, to stumble, to faux pas, to the core value of any serious fiction: truth.
3.) The characters. I've mentioned our narrator, but likewise intriguing are the minor actors. Most authors purposely mute these personas to illuminate the protagonist. The main character in The Pets is prostrate under a dusty bed, so the structure lends itself to an exploration of the secondary (though we do get fascinating internal monologues from our narrator at times). Havard is the man who breaks into the protagonist's apartment, providing a catalyst for his mad dash into the bedroom, and beneath the bed. Havard is a modern day Ignatius J. Reilly, only drunk. Need I say more? The potential love interest, Greta, using the author's words, is "much more mature and exciting than the other girls," with her body "tousled and flush." I am a fan of any person tousled (and of tousling in general). Again, one of my key tests as reader: Do I want to sleep with the love interest in the novel? Indeed, I do.
Things I did not enjoy about the book:
1.) The ending. Like an upper class college kid with ironic T-shirt, can of PBR, and Lilliputian eyeglasses, a bit too cool to actually register as cool. But I may be wrong. I did have to read, and re-read this ending. I mean it holds something, some verve. Let's once more listen to the author:
"I've had lots of comments on how the novel ends. While many readers find it very frustrating, even feel betrayed, other readers think it is the proper ending to a story like this. One reader came up to me and told me that the ending of The Pets was the second best ending he had read in a book. I was of course very flattered to hear that, especially because this reader seemed like a "normal" person, not a literature student. And when I asked him what was the best ending he had read, the answer was: For Whom the Bell Tolls! It made my day."
2.) The cover was an iridescent blue that made me nauseous. The fault may be mine; a medical disorder, for example, like when kids have seizures while playing Nintendo.
But these are trifling concerns. Overall, the book glitters and gleams, a clear, laughing glacial stream. I have something new to add to my Icelandic shoebox. And to remove from that shoebox. To discuss, argue, gladly contemplate over a bottle of Reyka vodka – to share.
What Stirs
Poetry by Margaret Christakos
Coach House Books, September 2008
Paperback: 120pp; $16.95
Review by Vince Corvaia
Reading Margaret Christakos's poetry on the page is like reading sheet music. You don't get the full effect until you hear it. And when you do hear it, when you read it aloud to yourself, you realize that the music is wildly experimental and takes some participation. Christakos, in What Stirs, challenges you to meet her halfway. There's nothing passive about these poems.
One key can be found in "Andalou," a short poem that is relatively straightforward: "Eleven weeks to the day, I held / Her or him like a branch. / Like a tipped word. Through the window / Is another window." The image of a window seen through a window is key to understanding the original structure of most of these poems. When you look through a window, you see an understandable world filled with familiar images. But when you look through Christakos's window, you find yourself looking through a second, fragmented window where the familiar is broken up, diffused.
Take, for example, a passage from "Used": "In department store windows it's They / happen in lack like blubbering like / large punk bowtie blabbering They don't / know what will happen its own / many-featured lack." Christakos breaks up language much like jump cuts in a film. (A blurb on the back cover attests to this as well.) That cinematic sense becomes more evident when you hear it read aloud. Other passages in the same poem don't make the literal meaning any clearer: "Be a letdown Always match Cleverly / match the gaunt Be up up / vain All the cleverly the punk / bowtie with some nice elbows Zesty / Almost gaunt." What we have is language calling attention to itself, language for language's sake. This is poetry for the graduate school crowd, not the Billy Collins crowd. Whether that's a good thing depends on your definition of poetry and how inclusive you find it to be. I appreciate the effort, but I don't find these poems enjoyable.
At the start of "(I Really Don't Think You're) Strong Enough," Christakos writes, "Something inside me was screaming Write / you fool! Tell the whole damned / world how you / feel! Something inside / says there's something / better than this." There are occasional flashes of beauty such as this. And there is humor, such as this line from "Lost ('Immortal')": "Living this long's going worse than planned."
Margaret Christakos is a poet worth following, but you proceed at your own risk.
The Imagist Poem
Modern Poetry in Miniature
Edited by William Pratt
UNO Press, October 2008
Paperback: 184pp; $16.95
Review by Vince Corvaia
It was during the decade of the First World War, 1910-1920, that the Imagist poem came to fruition. Imagist poetry was part of the literary revolt in the United States and England against the staid and formal techniques of the nineteenth century. William Pratt, in the introduction to his indispensable anthology The Imagist Poem – Modern Poetry in Miniature, quotes Imagist poet F.S. Flint's three rules by which the Imagist poem exists:
1. Direct treatment of the 'thing' whether subjective or objective.
2. To use absolutely no word that does not contribute to the presentation.
3. As regarding rhythm: to compose in the sequence of the musical phrase, not in sequence of a metronome.
Two Imagist poems in the anthology support this thesis explicitly. William Carlos Williams, in "A Sort of a Song," states "(No ideas / but in things)." Not an abstract description of the thing, but the thing itself. Archibald MacLeish writes famously in "Ars Poetica," "A poem should not mean / But be." That is, a poem should not represent, say, Williams' red wheelbarrow, but try as closely as possible to reflect the reality of that wheelbarrow "glazed with rain / water / beside the white / chickens."
All of the poets in The Imagist Poem are masters of the art. One significant addition not included in the original 1963 volume is T.S. Eliot, particularly his influential "Preludes," which opens, "The winter evening settles down / With smell of steaks in passageways. / Six o'clock. / The burnt-out ends of smoky days." Thanks to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cats, Imagism has influenced even Broadway.
The third edition of The Imagist Poem expands on its precursor, giving us one additional poem by Ezra Pound, H.D., D.H. Lawrence, and Marianne Moore, two additional poems by Wallace Stevens and e.e. cummings, and four more poems by Williams.
The moon appears in several of these poems, each in a strikingly distinctive way. In T.E. Hulme's "Above the Dock," "What seemed so far away / Is but a child's balloon, forgotten after play." Richard Aldington's moon poses "With a rag of gauze about her loins" in "Evening." In Amy Lowell's "Wind and Silver," her "Autumn moon floats in the thin sky; / And the fish ponds shake their backs and flash their dragon scales / As she passes over them." And Adelaide Crapsey presents the moon as "Autumnal, evanescent, wan" in "Niagara." Each image, whether metaphoric or direct, is vivid, imaginative, and not an idea of the moon, but the moon itself.
Carl Sandburg is represented with six poems, and yet the most striking Sandburg poem "Limited" is not included among them. But fear not. Sandburg's "Fog," which "comes on / little cat feet," is represented here, as are such classics as Pound's "The River-Merchant's Life: A Letter," cummings's "Buffalo Bill's," and Wallace Stevens' "Anecdote of the Jar." The Imagist Poem – Modern Poetry in Miniature captures an historic moment in the evolution of modern poetry and is a must-have for any poetry lover.

I am working on a system, written in C++, running on a Xeon on Linux, that needs to run as fast as possible. There is a large data structure (basically an array of structs) held in RAM, over 10 GB, and elements of it need to be accessed periodically. I want to revise the data structure to work with the system's caching mechanism as much as possible.
Currently, accesses are done mostly randomly across the structure, and each time 1-4 32-bit ints are read. It is a long time before another read occurs in the same place, so there is no benefit from the cache.
Now I know that when you read a byte from a random location in RAM, more than just that byte is brought into the cache. My question is how many bytes are brought in? Is it 16, 32, 64, 4096? Is this called a cache line?
I am looking to redesign the data structure to minimize random RAM accesses and work with the cache instead of against it. Knowing how many bytes are pulled into the cache on a random access will inform the design choices I make.

- Nice eveningDiningoutDined on 9/19/2014We had reservations, but got delayed by a third party; nonetheless, Aioli's was accommodating and seated us immediately when we arrived well past our reservation time. The outdoor patio was an excellent site for a very pleasant dinner. The staff was attentive, courteous and friendly. The food was excellent. We have dined at Aioli's before and always have enjoyed the experience. Definitely will dine there again and would highly recommend it.Special Features:
- Spanish Gem in MidtownwineanddinerDined on 9/16/2014Aioli Bodega is about my favorite restaurant in mid-town Sacramento. If it seems too quiet to enter, it is probably because all of the smart customers are enjoying the charming patio dining, listening to the trickle or a fountain beneath the foliage of giant trees. Whether you order the price-fixed luncheon, or one of the delicious "bocadillos" you can't go wrong at this restaurant. The tapas are a real treat -- two of my favorites being the pulpo (octopus) and the anchovies. My husband and I came out to lunch here and felt totally transported to another place. Terrific value, luscious food, excellent wine choices. How can you go wrong?Special Features:
- GreatNightoutDined on 9/13/2014We wanted to have Tapas but weren't sure what yo order. Our waiter offered to chose a menu for us and he did a great job. Cold dishes, then seafood, then red meat, then dessert. Excellent experience and food.Special Features:
- always excellentjeckleinVIPDined on 9/5/2014we have been coming here for 5+ yrs and never disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodieDined on 9/1/2014The host was very warm, but the waiter was in a hurry - he didn't even give us his name. The food was very average and over cooked. There was nothing special about this place so a bit disappointing.
- Have Cocktails ElsewhereSacLoversDined on 8/31/2014The cocktails were stingy in size and mediocre in taste. The paella was generous in quantity. We bypassed the pork so the rice was a little dry. Romantic outdoor setting but flies were a bummer. Staff were friendly but stretched a little thin.Special Features:
- mmmdjs1234Dined on 8/31/2014This foursome, while not perhaps supremely sophisticated, independently suggested that the food was not as nuanced as other Midtown Sac places, say Magpie. One couple would have been as happy at Lowbrau (20th and K).Special Features:
- Cozy patio!!FINEDINERDined on 8/30/2014Have eaten here several times, but first time out on patio. Great patio for warm Sacramento nights; good spacing between tables We had a late reservation (9:45PM) for dinner to accommodate friends who had driven from So. Cal. Had several tapas with drinks and visitors did entire meal with tapas. Entrée was quite filling after tapas; another tapa could have substituted for the entrée. Wine list extensive, service excellent, as were desserts. Will definitely return again, especially for late night dining, which is hard to find in Sacramento. If warm weather remains, dining will definitely be in the patio.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OldiesDined on 8/29/2014We had only dined here once before, and it not only exceeded our last experience, but our expectations as well. Fabulous wait staff, helpful and didn't make us feel like dummies because of our unfamiliarity with tapas. The food was superb, great variety, and lots of it. The sangrias are great, and the price very reasonable for an evening with 5 adults. Great place, fun experience, will definitely do it again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ServiceSacman51Dined on 8/29/2014Our first time here and will definitely be back. Our server James went out of his way to explain the menu (menu has 96 items), how much food to plan for each person (Tapa's) and specific details regarding the wine list.Special Features:
- Relaxed and DeliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/27/2014As always, such a nice dining experience. The food is consistently good and the service competent and friendly.Special Features:
- Great date nightFolsomdinerDined on 8/22/2014We were told our outdoor table would be ready in ten minutes. So, we waited. We did have reservations. But a group of 4 came in, who knew the staff, they were immediately seated outside, and suddenly our table would now take much longer. Since we had time constraints, we had to eat inside. We were disappointed, as we came all the way from Folsom for an outdoor dining experience. Oh well, food was still pretty good, service (aside from our seating mishap), was great. But not so sure we will be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SuperiorOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/19/2014Once again we enjoyed outdoor seating by the fountain, under the grape vines and lights, with the ambiance and taste reminiscent of a cafe back in Spain. We look forward to many more years of enjoying this top-tier Sacramento culinary gem.Special Features:
- Fab Spot!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/14/2014The outside garden terrace is divine! A transport to Spain or Italy. Food is phenomenally decadent. James was a fun, personable server who made sure we were well cared for. Two thumbs up! Will definitely return on another visit to Sacramento.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NicaheroDined on 8/6/2014Seating was a little late and tables are really snug, but the food was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GOOD FOOD WITH AVERAGE SERVICE1KTravelerVIPDined on 8/2/2014Aioli is one of my "go to" restaurants in Sacramento, so I was looking forward to dinner. I asked for two courses, "chefs's choice" with wine pairing. After a quick delivery of the first course, I waited and waited - almost one hour - for the second course to arrive. The main was a mixed grill of lamb, chicken and sausage. While it was tasty, the lamb and chicken were overcooked and unremarkable. I think the kitchen forgot about my order and they scrambled last minute to deliver. The wine pairing was nice. Overall, it was an unimpressive experience and not a great memory.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spanish Gem in SacramentoYummDined on 8/2/2014All was wonderful. Server was timely and on the spit, knew the menu well but could have done without the banter. If you have to answer a question 1000 times don't tell me you have had to answer it a thousand times just answer the question. But it was fine because the food was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always good tapas!OhmyqueenDined on 8/1/2014if you ever have cravings for spanish foods in sacramento, i would recommend here. The food is consistently good & they open late on weekends. We went for late friday date nite dinner & we had a good time. we had 3 kinds of tapas(cheese & dried/smoked meats, duck, & scallops) & a combination pallera. They were good & came out faster than usual since there were only 3 tables. we'll definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Super experienceMangansonDined on 7/25/2014This restaurant was great, the owner, the waiter, the food, the live music. One of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/19/2014It was very loud. The corkage fee was high at $20.00 and they charged us the fee for both bottles. All other restaurants (many) only charge for one bottle when we have two. I think our waiter was new and didn't know the menu too well.
- Unique Food ExperiencetennistoniDined on 7/13/2014It had been a number of years since I had been here. The scene is more vibrant and the food is very good, different, unique and great tasting. Because it was Bastille Day, it was busy but the service was very good and the noice level was very tolerabel, a number of larger parties wete there but it was not noisy. I will abe back. I loved the vegetable tapas, we ordered one other tapa in addition to our entrees but the vegetable one was really good and a wonderful surprise. Desert was great, the Catalan flan, different tasting than others, but good and big. Sangria was also good with the different item we had.Special Features:
- Excellent! As always!dinnerfortwoDined on 7/12/2014Regardless of the occasion, we highly recommend Aioli Bodega Espanola. The staff treats everyone like family, the wait staff is professional and completely understand the food they are serving. The wine list is extraordinary and compliments the menu beautifully. Their food has remained consistently delicious year after year, maybe a change here and there based on seasonality, however it's nice to know that you can enjoy the same fantastic food every time you visit. Everything on the menu is spectacular. We know, we've tried it all!Special Features:

We were a group of four and ordered many hot and cold plates (in addition to paella). Service was courteous and they had live music which really added to their nice outdoor seating area.Special Features:
- Vinnie BLovemesomefoodDined on 7/2/2014Highly recommend this place! I could eat the Paella three days a week. The service was outstanding and the music on the outside patio was a nice touch! I will most definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice surpriseOllieDined on 6/28/2014Overall a good experience. We had a combination of tapas and main courses each which were excellent. My only negative is the waiter required that we order the main course before the tapas and wine. We thought this was because it took a long time to prepare but then the main course were delivered at the same time as the tapas. We felt rushed. We were in and out of the restaurant in less than an hour for dinner. Great Spanish guitar player.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Miss you in DavisFoodFanaticDined on 6/28/2014I was just in the mood for Aioli, and so glad we came all the way to Sacramento to enjoy your small dishes and paella for two. I sure do miss you in Davis!! This was our first time to the Sacramento location, and I have to say, I was very impressed. The garden was lovely, nicely shaded and the splashing, colorful fountain added just the right touch. As usual, the food was a treat for the senses. We had seared tuna, figs and chick peas (sensational!), and the mushroom paella, all beautifully presented and devoured with delight. For dessert we shared the flan, which is always fabulous, and did not disappoint. Service was a bit slow. It took a long time for me to get my sparkling water (the tap is meh). Everything else, though, was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently Good!jeckleinVIPDined on 6/26/2014We have been going here for the last 5 years and at least 6-8 times a year. They never let us down. Joseph is a terrific server! The ambience is very comfortable. Not stuffy. Fun and livelily. The Betabel salad with arugula is always terrific. All the plates are good and consistently good. Highly recommend this place! It's one of our favorites.Special Features:
- I like itEnjoyDiningOutVIPDined on 5/31/2014I know that tapas are small plates, but the portions of olives & mushrooms are a bit skimpy. The gravlox is delicious! The paella is very filling, & a generous portion. The chocolate mouse is rich & delicious. The waiter recommended the perfect wines They could work on their pacing... we would've enjoyed a slower, better paced meal w/ a break between courses.Special Features:
- The following 385 reviews are from the Aioli Bodega Espanola reviews archive.
- Always goodsactownfoodieDined on 5/21/2014I have never had a bad meal there. I like the duck and the lamb sausage the best but the stuffed tomato is the bomb!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Paella to die forPaellaDined on 5/17/2014Just the best I felt like I was in Madrid everything was just greatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Group LunchVegan1Dined on 5/13/2014We had a group of 8 and the food, service, and ambiance were all excellent. Everyone enjoyed the variety of food and all said that they wanted to return. Also, they served us quickly such that it was a great place for a business lunch. Also had great vegan choices.Special Features:
- Great choice for special occasionTeresa22Dined on 5/12/2014The food and wine menu are both extensive and interesting. Great variety of small plates as well as entrees. We shared a few small plates as appetizers and also selected an entrée. The swordfish special was flavorful and very tender. We had more than enough to eat - a few shared small plates would make an ample meal. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the noise level was reasonable. We loved being seated by the window to enjoy the street scene. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Very good.RedSoxFanDined on 5/11/2014We love this place and went there for mothers day. The salads were fresh with great dressings that were not overpowering. I had a rabbit which was excellent, even though it was a little overcooked.Special Features:
- Charming & EnjoyablePeesacakeDined on 5/10/2014This was my first visit (took my daughter and 9 year old g-daughter) to celebrate mother's day. My daughter and I were pleasantly surprised. Indoor dining was romantic and outdoors where we sat; it was notably charming, pretty and quiet. An array of food items to choose from, good presentation and ALL were delicious. I will return with my husband and am sure he will love it too! My only change is since they don't have a kids menu is to have been given a few suggestions the youngest member of our party.Special Features:
- Always warm and wonderfulurbanDined on 5/9/2014Love the decor, the service, the food, the wine, the music and the service team. Very friendly staff, great service, and Seafood Paella I can't get enough of....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Respect for tradition and their own history but not stuck in it. Go and enjoy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best for tapasMarkDined on 4/24/2014We had a tapa, salad and main course. The main courses were both a bit overcooked; the salad and tapa was excellent. I think that this is best for tapas but perhaps the cooking staff were not on their game. The live guitarist was a great touch. Will come again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous AioliBarrGirlDined on 4/21/2014The food and the service at Aioli was outstanding. Our waiter was charming and made spot-on suggestions for our meal. All food came as described and was memorable. We came for a business discussion and found the restaurant patio to have the perfect ambience and low level of noise that we had hoped for. We can't wait to return!Special Features:

Diagnostic Imaging
PET/CT Scan
Innovative Spinal Care
At Central DuPage Hospital
PET/CT scanning at Central DuPage Hospital (CDH) provides highly detailed images for fine-tuning diagnosis of cancers, cardiovascular disease and brain disorders.
PET (Positron Emission Tomography)/CT is a diagnostic process that detects tiny amounts of radiation to create detailed images. For a PET/CT scan, the patient is first injected with a radioactive substance (which decays within a few days). Lying on a flat table, the person moves in very slow steps through a donut-shaped machine that detects positrons (tiny particles emitted from the radioactive material). The machine takes a series of thin "slice" images, which are then assembled to create a three-dimensional image of the body.
PET/CT is a painless, non-invasive procedure, yet it provides powerful images of the body's biological functions.
Physicians use PET/CT for many purposes:
Specialists located at our CDH Warrenville Campus perform a full range of PET/CT scanning procedures in a convenient and comfortable setting. PET/CT scanning is provided on an outpatient basis.
Performing and analyzing PET/CT imaging requires advanced expertise. The team includes:

The White House significantly edited testimony prepared for a Senate hearing on the impact of climate change on health, deleting key portions citing diseases that could flourish in a warmer climate.
A draft of the testimony submitted for White House review shows that six pages of details about specific disease and other health problems that might flourish if the Earth warms were not delivered at the hearing.

PBS reports that it was Philip Cooney, former energy industry lobbyist, on behalf of the White House, who was making these changes to this report about the health effects of climate change.
DeSmogBlog has reported on "denier Cooney" before [March 20, 2007] - eg. http://tinyurl.com/2ctlav
Cooney had resigned as chief of staff of the White House Council on Environmental Quality in June 2007. I guess he is keeping in touch though…
The denial goes on and on, it is just stunning that it does, even at this late stage. Emissions keep rising too.

To the vast majority of the aboriginal youth, of today…
Your ancestors, the one you're damn proud of, certainly wouldn't have fought for your rights that you enjoy today, if they could only see what you have become.
I see you at the local shopping centre, scabbing cigarettes, begging for change, and starting shenanigans, but I am affraid to say anything because if I where to say something, it would be racist. I would be then punished, as you seem fit (which is often violence) and left for dead in the gutter, just like your ancestors once proud history.
Now, you have so much given to you, you wouldn't believe the amount of jealousy I poses. Cheaper housing; in decent middle class areas, greater opportunities in obtaining a job/traineeships/apprenticeships, scholarships for Non Straight A students to gain entry into rather prestigious universities, and all you do is waste it away for your cheap thrills.
Now, as a student who works for my keep, and pays taxes I am rather shocked to see that you can sit there ripping your cones, sniffing your peterol, and bumming around, as if it doesn't affect me.
Well it does, hopefully your centrelink payments get cut, and you see what it is like, to work for minimum wage, to not "live it up" to actually suppourt yourself.
End rant
Not this shit again. Thanks for stereotyping me and my people.
I'm not
Canadian Australian, but this is the same racist bullshit that I see thrown at us here too. We are not these stereotypes. I'm sick of seeing working class (and all) whites blame Natives for higher taxes or bad neighborhoods or whatever else they claim. We pay taxes too, as do those Natives in Canada. We pay for our educations the same way you do. We as a group face the same substance-abuse problems that you do. (You wouldn't have phrased it that way, would you have?) We have the same money problems you do, with or without meager payments from the government. My working relatives who get commodities are in the same shit boat as my non-working relatives who get commodities. Quit disguising your racism and hatred of Natives as concern that we don't "act properly" with our mythical government hand-outs.
Quit using us as your scapegoats.

The Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods, all 2,000 years of them, are there for all to see up close. Walking down marble streets laid down by the Romans, strolling around the huge grounds of a mental hospital operative two millennia ago, taking in the more recent World War I Gallipoli battlegrounds and sightseeing at the magnificent sixth-century Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace in Istanbul were but a few of the highlights of our recent 14-day tour of Turkey.
The amazing ruins of Ephesus, with its Celsus Library dating to 117 AD that held 12,000 scrolls; visiting Konya, the land of the whirling dervishes; and continuing on to the Cappadocia area and the Turkish capital of Ankara were all enthralling stops on our bus journey.
But to me, two stops proved to be intriguing.
One was the underground city of Saratli. In the third and fourth centuries, Christians in the Cappadocia area were forced to hide en masse from the Romans. To do so, they went underground, gouging down deep into the soil to build long tunnels and rooms that provided living space.
We were taken into Saratli, where lighting has been installed for the tourists, and it was explained how the tunnels could be blocked to keep out the Romans who might locate the entrance and how deep pits were dug to discourage their meandering into the darkness.
One such city went down 18 stories underground. Another accommodated 5000 inhabitants.
To date, archeologists have found 38 such underground cities, and they believe they will find more. Two of the cities were connected by a seven-mile underground tunnel.
Another site had a much later history. In the 13th century, the government built a series of accommodations called caravanserai to serve the caravan trade using the Silk Road from faraway China. These were large stone buildings inside fort-like walls, constructed every 30 miles — a daylong camel trek. The government provided the food, lodging and care of the camels in an effort to promote long-distance trade.
The caravanserai we visited was a very good repair. Others, nearly 800 years old, reportedly have not been renovated.
And so it is with Turkey — a unique mix of the old and the new, and a great place to visit.
Turkey response
One Patterson reader has responded about our recent trip to Turkey.
That would be Deniz Olcan, who says her family, which includes two young boys, is probably the only Turkish family residing in our community.
She, too, points out that Turkish people love Americans.
Remember to vote
As they say in Chicago about Election Day: "Vote early — and often."
For the sports fan
Bay Area sports fans, and those in Northern California, too, are getting spoiled.
First, we have the world-champion Giants with their superlative pitching corps and crafty, laidback manager, and also the rejuvenated 49ers with their stellar defense and demanding head coach who knows what he wants and how to get it.
Just how good can it get?
And finally…
I previously mentioned receiving 299 e-mails during our recent trip to Turkey, and some of them were choice. Here's one worth passing along. It came in a list titled "Adult truths."
"I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my 10-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to."

Stocks have momentum but remain risky
The market looks overvalued from a fundamental perspective, but it's hard to call a top when earnings and jobless claims reports look good.
While my theme for 2013 is that stocks are a risky asset class, I have not yet called a market top.
Stocks still have some technical momentum and the weekly charts for some of the major indexes are not yet overbought. Moreover, there have been better-than-expected earnings from the stocks I have profiled week to week in January and an improving trend in weekly jobless claims.
Nevertheless, stocks appear overvalued from a fundamental perspective, but it is difficult to call for a top when nearly 90% of the companies I have profiled pre-earnings beat their Q4 EPS estimates.
Next week I will profile another six Dow components, four home builders, Amazon (AMZN) and four other stocks that are important to track.
It's hard to be overly bearish with the four-week moving average for initial jobless claims poised to trend below the recessionary threshold of 350,000, as shown on the chart below (courtesy of dshort -- Advisor Perspectives). The four-week moving average is down to 351,750.
The weekly charts are positive or overbought for the equity averages I track. Tough to call a market top with Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU), S&P 500 ($INX) and Nasdaq ($COMPX) showing rising momentum. Dow Transports and Russell 2000 have overbought momentum on their weekly chart behind continued all-time highs almost daily.
What will it take to call a market top?
On Friday www.ValuEngine.com shows that 59.5% of all stocks are overvalued. When 65% or more are overvalued, I will look for a stock market top. All 16 sectors are overvalued, 8 by double-digit percentages. Typically at a market top all sectors are overvalued by double-digit percentages.
When all weekly charts become overbought for the major equity averages is will look for a market top. Daily charts are not as important as the weekly charts, but keep in mind the daily chart for Dow Transports could not be more overbought, as the 12x3x3 daily stochastic reading at 97.40 is nearly pinned at the 100.00 maximum.
If the major equity averages test their longer-term risky levels, I will begin to call for a major market top. I show quarterly and semiannual risky levels at 14,118 and 14,323 Dow Industrial Average, 1510.0 and 1566.9 S&P 500, 3274 and 3583 Nasdaq, and 913.92 and 965.51 Russell 2000. Annual and semiannual risky levels are 5925 and 5955 Dow Transports.
Tracking Dow Theory: We ended Thursday with another new all-time closing high at 5854.94 for the Dow Transportation Average. To confirm a "Dow Theory Buy Signal" the Dow Industrials need to have a daily close above its all-time closing high of 14,164.53 set on Oct. 9, 2007. It will be difficult to confirm or sustain such a signal with the Dow risky levels at 14,118 and 14,323,
The key levels to hold on an early pullback are: quarterly pivots at 13,668 Dow Industrials, 1431.1 S&P 500 and 3071 on the Nasdaq, and annual pivots at 5469 on Dow Transports and 860.25 Russell 2000.
My annual value levels are the initial downside targets at: 12,696 and 12,509 on Dow Industrials, 1348.3 SP 500, 2806 and 2790 Nasdaq, and 809.54 Russell 2000.
Checking levels for the other U.S. Capital Markets:
The yield on the 10-Year Treasury note (1.906%): The weekly chart favors higher yields on a close Friday above the five-week modified moving averages at 1.791%. My annual pivot is the nearest value level at 1.981%. My annual and semiannual value levels are 2.476% and 3.063% with semiannual risky level at 1.413%.
Comex Gold ($1,664.90): Needs to close above its five-week MMA at $1,678.60 Friday to have a positive weekly chart profile. My annual value level is $1,599.9 with a monthly pivot at $1,673.80 and semiannual, quarterly and annual risky levels at $1,719.20, $1,802.90 and $1852.10.
Nymex Crude Oil ($96.30): The weekly chart stays positive on a close Friday above the five-week MMA at $92.25. My quarterly pivot is $95.84 with annual risky levels at $115.23 and $115.42. The 200-week simple moving average is a major support at $85.41.
The Euro vs. the Dollar (1.3453): The weekly chart becomes positive but overbought with a close above the five-week MMA at 1.3187 with upside to the 200-week simple moving average at 1.3526. My semiannual value level is 1.2797 with annual and quarterly pivots at 1.3257 and 1.3346.
At the time of publication, the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned.

Ethics and character? Really? What job or source of making a lot of money has ethics and character as its cornerstone.
The term is, is it legal. If it's legal, people will do it with high motivation.
If I had the brains for making a lot of money in the market, I'd do it in a heartbeat. And ethics would have nothing to do with it.
Once I make enough money to stop working and spend more time with my family, I'd stop. Thats the difference with me. I'd know when to stop being greedy. If by chance the money was too good to ignore, I'd fund smart, motivated kids from poor areas to go to college. That would stop their family's generational lack of money.

The Buffalo Bills went big on offense during the NFL Draft, going high to get EJ Manuel and adding pieces like Robert Woods to try and bolster a youthful unit. While Manuel will have to battle for that starting job, Woods may get a little more lucky and grab a job as the No. 2 receiver in Doug Marrone's offense. According to WGR 550 AM in Buffalo, the Bills have Woods "firmly in the conversation" to start alongside star Stevie Johnson as the starter.
There are rather lofty expectations for Woods, who at one time in the pre-draft process was thought to be a first-round pick. The Bills have said publicly how NFL ready Woods is, which leads some to believe he factors firmly in to the conversation to be the starter opposite Stevie Johnson.
The Bills obviously aren't going to rush the decision to start Woods, but he's got the chops to do so and the time spent between now and the beginning of the season can go a long way in preparing him to be one half of a potentially deadly receiving duo. But for now, Woods says he's just trying to get settled in with the Bills and their new system.
"Right now it's just trying to catch the pace and the rhythm and keep it going," Woods said, via WRG 550 AM. "Right now we're just setting the fundamentals of the game. It's going to get different when the whole team comes back."
Woods showed promise while at USC but didn't totally develop into the Heisman candidate many thought he'd be when the season started. In fact, Woods was actually overshadowed by Marquis Lee which is something that may motivate him in Buffalo to be the best he can be. Buffalo has a real good thing going with this youthful offense it's crafting, and Woods is looking to be a big part of it's success.

If you have asthma, does your dentist know? This is important for good oral health, especially if you use a corticosteroid inhaler.
Corticosteroid inhalers are medications used to treat asthma. Also known as controller medications, they help prevent attacks by reducing swelling in the lining of the airways of your lungs. Corticosteroids also make the airways less sensitive to triggers. Over time, asthma symptoms improve. When corticosteroids are used daily as prescribed, the result is long-term control of asthma.
These inhalers can cause side effects:
Dry, scratchy throat and hoarseness.
Dry mouth. Less saliva in the mouth makes you more prone to cavities, plaque buildup, and gum disease.
Thrush. Inhaled corticosteroids may cause an overgrowth of yeast called thrush in the mouth and throat. Thrush leaves white patches on the tongue and in the mouth. It can usually be prevented by rinsing the mouth after using a corticosteroid inhaler. When it does occur, it can be treated with a prescription medicine.
To prevent these problems:
Always rinse your mouth with water and spit after using your corticosteroid inhaler. This washes away traces of medicine.
Attach a spacer to your inhaler. This plastic tube holds the sprayed medicine dose for a few seconds so that you can inhale it better. More of the medicine enters your lungs, and less settles in your throat and mouth.
Chew sugarless gum and drink water often to restore moisture.
If you use a corticosteroid inhaler and notice any mouth soreness or irritation, call your dentist or doctor promptly.

In effort to save some dog bite victims from getting a series of painful rabies shots, the city of Royal Oak is conducting a dog census to ensure more animals are licensed and vaccinated.
Unlicensed dogs are involved in half of all dog bite incidents in Royal Oak.
The census began on July 1, which includes door to door checking of licenses.
Details on costs of getting a license renewed or fines assessed are provided by the city of Royal Oak:
Beginning July 1, 2013, the City of Royal Oak will be conducting a city-wide dog census to ensure all dogs are licensed and have their rabies shots.
Unlicensed dogs are involved in half of all dog bite incidents in Royal Oak. "When we come across an unlicensed dog running loose, finding the dog's owner is difficult," said Gail Briggs, Animal Control Officer for the cities of Royal Oak and Berkley. "With licensed animals, we are able to reunite the dog and the owner immediately at any time, day or night, without having to put the dog in the shelter. The important part of licensing, however, is ensuring Royal Oak animals are properly vaccinated. In a dog bite investigation, this will save the victim a series of painful rabies shots and keep the shelter from having to quarantine the animal for 10 days."
"Getting your dog licensed helps protect the health and welfare of the community by ensuring all dogs have the proper vaccinations. Licensing your dog also provides a great benefit to owners because we can help lost dogs find their way home," said City Manager Don Johnson.
Owners have until June 30, 2013 to license their dogs without penalty at the City Clerk's Office. Owners with dogs found to be unlicensed during the census will be given 14 days to purchase a license, and a $20 penalty will be applied at the time of purchase. Owners that do not comply with the 14-day notice could be issued a ticket that carries a fine of up to $500. Dogs over six months old are required to be licensed, and proof of rabies vaccination is needed to obtain a license.
To apply for a license, you can visit the City Clerk's Office, or print out the application at http://www.ci.royal-oak.mi.us/portal/webfm_send/83 and mail it in.
A copy of valid rabies vaccination certificate and a copy / proof of spay/neuter is required at the time of application.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this issue, please do not hesitate to call the City Clerk's Office at (248) 246-3050.

There is still a lot of buzz about Helen Mirren dominating the red carpet for the most recent Oscars. She celebrated her naturally silver hair with a silver Badgley Mischka gown. Most importantly, Mirrenen listed the help of stylist Creighton Bowman to design a classic, sideswept up-do accented with Chopard diamonds. Bowman, who has been doing her hair for the past four years (among other celebs including Jane Krakowski, Michelle Trachtenberg, Kelly Ripa, Abigail Breslin and Rene Zellweger), used multiple Rene Furterer products to create the finished look. Okara mild silver shampoo was used to cut any gold tones followed by Volumea conditioning spray, Tonucia foam, Naturia dry shampoo and finally Rene Furterer finishing spray to create a Bridgette Bardot inspired messy French twist, fastened with the diamond Chopard clasp."We went for this look to show off her collar bone and long neck," says Bowman.
Helen Mirren at the Oscars.
Creighton Bowman
- I began by having Helen wash her hair with René Furterer OKARA mild silver shampoo. This shampoo cut out any gold tones in her hair. Her gown was silver and we wanted her hair to match.
- On her towel dried hair I applied René Furterer TONUCIA no rinse fortifying and densifying mousse from root to end followed by spritzing René Furterer VOLUMEA volumizing conditioning spray no-rinse for extra texture.
- Next we did a soft, round brush blowout with a deep side part. For even more texture I added René Furterer NATURIA dry shampoo (Helen LOVES this product!).
- Lastly, I pulled her hair up into a messy French twist and fastened it with a diamond Chopard clasp. I spritzed René Furterer finishing spray instant hold over the finished style to keep it in place throughout the whole evening. Her hair had a soft, modern texture making it look healthy and chic.

One of the unique aspects of visits to The Ranch is how the same people come year after year for the same event or during the same week. As one guest remarked, "We first came to enjoy the Golf Classic. Now we come to the Golf Classic to enjoy our friends." Or as teacher Susan Flahavan asked student Rocky when he came to her school one day wearing his Alisal sweatshirt, "Oh, we're the first week of August. What are you?"
Summer! The legacy of Mr. Jackson's summer dude ranch retreat continues. By the end of one summer, the next summer is already 90 percent booked.
Some families are now in their fourth generation of an Alisal summer respite. Last year, we were featured in the national column, "Taking the Kids." The article, which ran in a multitude of newspaper s, noted how many grandparents today are organizing extended family retreats to bring their scattered children and third generation cousins together once a year.
Alisal regular Teresa George was quoted, "When we started talking about getting married, my dad (Spencer Taylor) brought u p the (annual Alisal) trip and told my husband, `This is what we do in the family. Plan your career accordingly.'"
Alisal Golf Classic. Typically held mid- to late -March, the Husband and Wife Golf Classic has been an institution since 1980 . This year's Classic was won by Ed and Cece Coury (Oak Tree Flight) and Loraine and Richard Lober (Sycamore Flight). James and Shirley Dunn won the inaugural Classic. Next year's Classic will be held March 9-12.
With such interest in the Classic, the Sweetheart Golf Tournament was instituted over Valentine's Day in 1983. The putting contest that year was "sabotaged" by a "runaway, naked" horse that left its bridle, shoes and saddle on the putting green, creating a hazard most putters had never faced before.
Thanksgiving, Another Alisal Tradition. Unknown to many, but not to those attempting to visit during Turkey Days, Thanksgiving has our longest waiting list. "Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving, the same families celebrate with us," General Manager Dave Lautensack acknowledges.
A highlight every Easter has been the Easter Egg Hunt. Almost every long-time guest has an Alisal Easter story.
Santa Claus, a Peculiar Reindeer and Trees. For almost half a century, Santa Claus, in his sleigh pulled by a reindeer that looks very much like a burro, arrives outside the dining rooms at 8:30 p.m. Christmas Eve. He leads all merry- makers around the luminaria-lit oval in front of the Ranch House to the Cottonwood Room for caroling with the kid's Christmas Chorus. Each youngster 12 and under receives a personal gift. Many who return year after year especially enjoy the various Christmas trees, all decorated differently.

Update on summer Birch Bay burglaries
Published on Thu, Oct 25, 2012 by
Brandy Kiger
Read More
Crime is down in Birch Bay, and sheriff's deputy Zac Reimer has credited the diligence of Birch Bay residents for the change.
"I feel that everyone here has done a tremendous job of reporting stuff to me," Reimer said at the Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce annual dinner Thursday, October 18. He said that the number of incidents have dropped significantly, and it's a very welcome change for the department.
Over the summer, more than 40 burglaries were reported in the Birch Bay area, and 20 of those were in the Bay Crest neighborhood alone. Reimer attributed the thefts to several separate groups who were all acting independently, but all highly active at the same time. "They were semi-connected ... It was very overwhelming for us to deal with. It took a few months to put everything together and do the best job we could to solve it," he said.
Now, after several months of work they are close to having the cases resolved. Some arrests have been made and Reimer and other sherriff's deputies have been gathering evidence since the summer. Just last week they made a major recovery of stolen goods. "We have a lot of bikes," he told the crowd at the chamber meeting. Reimer said there were few items they hadn't been able to match up with stolen goods reports. Reimer hopes to have the incidents wrapped up once and for all in the next week or two. "We've made a lot of progress," he said.
In the meantime, Reimer stressed that the key to fewer burglaries was as simple as being conscious and conscientious about securing belongings. He said that 95 percent of the thefts happened in unlocked and unsecured cars, garages, sheds and houses.
"The burglars were just walking in the front door or going through open garage doors," he said of the summer's incidents. He encouraged continued community involvement and for residents to continue reporting things that might be out of place. "If you don't tell us, we don't know about it," he said.

The Illegal Eagles - Live at Islington Assembly Hall - Friday 9th November 2012
In August 1996, just after breakfast on a Tuesday, Phil Aldridge, who always believed it is better to play great music written by others, rather than to subject the public to the second rate, dreary "original" songs of so many also-ran losers, resolved to form a band presenting the altogether cracking output of The Eagles! The Eagles, as luck would have it, had recently reformed following a fourteen-year holiday and were performing a three-night stint at the old Wembley Stadium. During the course of the three-hour set it became increasingly apparent that Phil was witnessing a performance that was touching flawless on the gigometer, ergo impossible to recreate with the lesser mortals residing in his phone book. Three months passed and Phil found himself performing a set with some also-ran losers in a pub in Essex. During its course, a punter extolled "'Ere! Can I ave a bash at Lyin' Eyes?". Phil was fully aware that he didn't have to do this sort of thing, being potentially a very fine plumber and was dismayed when the band consented. Within five minutes, The Illegal Eagles was born!
Since playing the Royal Albert Hall, The Illegal Eagles have toured Belgium, Holland, Germany, Singapore, Thailand, Denmark, India and arrived in London's IndigO2 at the O2 Arena In March 2009. The Illegal Eagles return to perform a rare London show at the newly refurbished Islington Assembly Hall on Friday 9th November. Expect to hear all the Eagles classics such as "Lyin Eyes", "Desperado", "How long", "Take it easy", "Take it to the limit" and, of course, "Hotel California".

University of Utah Continuing Education
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is an essential part of XHTML and web design and scripting. CSS is the powerful layout and design language of choice on the Internet. Extremely flexible, fast loading, easy to write, with increasingly solid support from graphical web browsers, this tool is a must-have in your toolbox.
CSS is a simple mechanism for adding additional display properties to structured documents such as HTML/XHTML. It offers greater control and flexibility, similar to traditional print layout, for a much richer document appearance. By separating the presentation style of documents from the document content, CSS simplifies web authoring and site maintenance.

Sold a Single Family home in 2013 in New Scotland, Albany, NY.
Paul was our buyers and sellers agent in our recent move. Despite being recommended by a family member who used to work with him, he has consistently failed us. He has not sold our house in nearly 3 months on the market, refused to have an open house and has not called us in over a month. On more than one occassion when I called during a workday, he was out on a golf outing. To top it off, a nearly identical house in our neighborhood sold in 15 days.
On more than 1 house we looked to purchase, he suggested offering prices $30,000 above what the house eventually sold for. I know we overpaid for our new house, estimating it is at least $25,000 over what it should have sold for. Please take this warning and avoid working with Paul. Hopefully this review will spur him to become a better agent.

Response from Paul on 02/17/2014
Happy to see your home sold. I only wish you would've used that price when I had recommended it 3 mo. earlier.We all know buyers & sellers set the price at which homes sell for; NOT agents.Sometimes houses that appear identical are not,300 sqft larger for $20k less can & WILL make a difference in a sale. I'm confused about the golf comment as I'm not an avid golfer. I did golf in a charity event once, however my cell phone was with me & I was reachable anytime.Also my 2 assistants were at the office readily available to my clients. I apologize for any communication issues.I should've called you as well as your wife on a weekly basis. After looking at many houses & putting 2 offers in at the same time,YOU chose to accept the counter offer.Now you feel you over paid!? I recall you felt that way about your 1st home that you then lived in for over 9yrs.I'm sure your new home will treat you as well if not better knowing you bought at the right time with mortgage rates at a 30+ yr low.

I used Paul a few years ago to sell my house in Rotterdam, NY. He was easy to work with and got me considerably more than I thought I would get on my house. I believe we also sold the house within a month or 2. I'd recommend Paul to anyone looking to sell a home.
