WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - It appears there's some unfinished business to clear up between Marathon County and the Wausau Curling Club.
The property on Kent Street was next to the old Holtz-Krause Landfill site, and the former owners owed $17,680 in taxes on the two parcels. Now, county officials are wondering what happened and how to resolve the problem.
Corporation Counsel Scott Corbett says this matter was news to him, too, so he's anxious to learn more about the issue at a Monday meeting. "We never took a tax deed for it because it was contaminated property. I don't know what the Curling Club thinks is the story with respect to it, and that's why (Treasurer) Lorraine Beyersdorff put it on the agenda so we could get it out in the open and discuss what's going to happen to the property."
The meeting will be held by Marathon County's Finance and Property Committee this coming Monday at 3:00 p.m.
Corbett says it will be interesting to hear what agreements may have been made in the past. As far as the back taxes, Corbett says that might be covered by the seller, the Curling Club, or by title insurance.

Just the thought of an abandoned baby is enough to make your heart ache. When a newborn girl is found dead inside a cardboard box, complete strangers grieve.
So when Baby Rosie was laid to rest Wednesday in a donated white dress and casket, the two dozen mourners included the two Roseville city workers who discovered her while sweeping trash at a park after the July Fourth weekend, and the detective investigating her death.
Sadly, such cases are common enough that there's a group that works with county governments to give abandoned and unidentified babies proper burials. Garden of Innocence, a nonprofit started in San Diego in 1998, plans its first Sacramento-area event on Saturday, The Bee's Cynthia Hubert reported Thursday.
Baby Rosie should also be a reminder that these tragedies don't have to happen.
California, like every other state, has a "safe surrender" law that allows parents who are unable or unwilling to care for newborns to give them up within 72 hours of birth. As long as the baby has not been abused or neglected, parents aren't prosecuted for child abandonment. While they are asked to fill out a medical questionnaire, they can remain anonymous.
All 58 counties have surrender sites, including hospitals and many fire stations. If the parents don't reclaim their baby within 14 days, the infant is put in foster care or made available for adoption. From January 2001, when the law took effect, through March 2013, 503 newborns were safely surrendered, including 46 in Sacramento County, according to state figures.
But too often, unwanted newborns – no one tracks exactly how many – are found dead. Clearly, the word isn't getting out to all the new parents who are in crisis.
Public awareness efforts were more aggressive early on, though in 2010 the state launched a toll-free hotline and put a voluntary donation on income tax forms to fund outreach. Anything more that social service agencies and nonprofits can do to raise awareness could help save lives.

Fender Deluxe Series Nashville Telecaster Electric GuitarAs downhome and sophisticated as the city it's named for, the Deluxe Nashville Tele guitar comes with a Tex-Mex Stratocaster pickup in between two Tex-Mex Telecaster pickups. This array, combined with five-way Strat-o-Tone switching, makes it one of the most versatile Telecaster models Fender makes. Features include ash (Amber, Honey Blonde) or alder (Candy Apple Red, Brown Sunburst) body, maple or rosewood fingerboard with medium jumbo frets, brown shell pickguard, vintage-style tuners and vintage-style six-saddle bridge.Includes a gig bag.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
This guitar is the best quality to price ratio I have seen on a Telecaster. The neck is extremely high quality, with a feel as good as any American Fender I've played. This Tele has a satin finish on the neck, which I like. But it definately won't wear as well as the gloss finish on an American Tele. The pickups are as advertised and the electronics are quiet, with no popping during pickup changes or scratching with volume or tone changes. The middle pickup is wound backwards, elimnating the single coil hum when two pickup combinations are selected. The hardware is good quality also. It has a nice vintage look to it, but allows for full adjustment of acton and intonation.
My one complaint is the pickguard. Although it is nice and thick, it looks cheap. I have since changed it out to a white pearloid one, and improved the overall appearance. The finish on the body is very good, but the factory pickguard detracts from that.
Overall, I've owned this guitar for nearly a year and I am EXTREMELY satisfied with my purchase.
Because it is made in Mexico, this guitar may never be a long-term 'investment' guitar. But it is a great player, and the first axe I pick up when I want to practice. The pickup combo makes it very versatile. Though the pickups are not "hot", it pours out clean tones - particularly with a good tube amp. I added a McEwen B bender and now it covers everything country, and covers it well. Out of all the tele's I have owned, this one ranks second only to my G&L ASATs.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

NASA Crushes 2012 Mayan Apocalypse Claims
- Stephenhannard
- uploaded: Mar 11, 2012
- Hits: 422
Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have put out a new video to address false claims about the "Mayan apocalypse," a non-event that some people believe will bring the world to an end on Dec. 21. Addressing the belief that the calendar used by the ancient Mayan civilization comes to a sudden end in December 2012, and that this will coincide with a cataclysmic, world-ending event, Yeomans said: "Their calendar does not end on December 21, 2012; it's just the end of the cycle and the beginning of a new one. It's just like on December 31, our calendar comes to an end, but a new calendar begins on January 1." He added that there is zero possibility of a NASA cover-up. "Can you imagine thousands of astronomers who observe the skies on a daily basis keeping the same secret from the public for several years?" Uhmmm yes i can Don.

Olive Straws
This recipe for olive straws is courtesy of Michel Roux and is featured in "Pastry."
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- All-purpose flour, for work surface
- 13 ounces Rough Puff Pastry
- 15 large green pimento stuffed olives, about 1 1/4 inches long
- 1 medium egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk
Step 1
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry to a 12 1/2-by-6-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Using a large sharp knife, cut the rectangle into a 5 1/2-by-6-inch rectangle and a 7-by-6-inch rectangle. Place both rectangles on a baking sheet and transfer to refrigerator; let chill 20 minutes.
Step 2
Place the 5 1/2-by-6-inch rectangle on a baking sheet. Place 5 olives, end-to-end, in a straight line along the short side of the rectangle, leaving about a 5/8-inch border. Repeat process two more times to make three lines of olives.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and milk. Brush egg mixture on all exposed spaces between olives. Cover with the 7-by-6-inch rectangle of puff pastry, pressing the whole surface of the dough between the olives firmly with your fingertips. Transfer to refrigerator; let chill 20 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using a very sharp knife, trim edges of dough; cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide straws. Lay flat-side down on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake until pastry is golden and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer straws to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.

Actual Multiple Monitors is the unique toolkit which improves the usability of Windows user interface and make the work with multi-monitor setups much more comfortable and effective.Powerful yet easy-to-use, the program adds a copy of the original Windows Taskbar onto each secondary display, simplifying and unifying the task management on all monitors. Each such copy can either display only the tasks running on the same monitor or mirror the contents of main Taskbar. Moreover, each secondary taskbar can display the Start button, the notification area (system tray), any toolbars (like Quick Launch, etc.) and the clock. Also, there is an ability to clone the Alt-Tab Task Switcher window on each monitor to get rid of turning user's attention to the primary monitor every time he/shee needs to switch tasks.Actual Multiple Monitors greatly enhances window management within the expanded screen space with such usability tools as quick switching windows between monitors via special button in each window's title bar or via hotkeys, easy dragging/sizing windows by an arbitrary point, snapping windows to desktop boundaries and to each other (sticky borders), making any window span the entire desktop or fit monitor's width/height - and many others.Actual Multiple Monitors runs on all Windows platforms from Windows 2000 onwards (including 64-bit editions). It achieved the official "Compatible with Windows 7" logo and successfully passed the "Microsoft Platform Ready - Windows 7" tests.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker says he'll consider what he calls "tweaks" to his proposed half-billion dollar tax cut package.
The Republican governor told reporters in Madison Wednesday he would consider changes in what he asked the Legislature to approve two weeks ago. However, he's not saying what the changes might be.
The governor said he has not negotiated with legislative leaders on a new set of numbers.
Walker has proposed large property and income tax cuts that would save the average Wisconsin homeowner $177. An Assembly committee is holding a public hearing on the Walker package Wednesday afternoon, and a vote in the full house is set for next Tuesday.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said his party's members are still talking about what they would and would not support. Some GOP senators say they'd rather assure that an $825 million structural deficit in the next budget be eliminated before any of the recent billion-dollar surplus is refunded.
Walker said he believes the Assembly is ready to vote on the same package he introduced. He expects the Senate to support his principles as well -- but it will take a little longer to get there.

Beginnings: When the Long Island Rail Road reached what is now Medford in 1843, it was a good connection for the stagecoach line that ran between Patchogue and Port Jefferson along what was Stage Road (now Route 112). People started coming from miles around to get their mail. The soil was poor for farming, but the woods offered copious lumbering, and there were miles of land to be sold. The railroad held an auction in New York City in 1850 to peddle lots. The O.L. Schwenke Land & Investment Co. bought four square miles, and sold 25-by-100-foot lots for $10 to $75.

Reminiscences of the Sixties
Charles Crosland (1845-1918), who served in the 19th South Carolina Cavalry Battalion, with Company H of the Confederate Army's Hampton Legion, recounts his combat experiences, his father's death, and the destruction of the Crosland family plantation in Bennetsville. He also references the sinking of the USS Housatonic by the Confederate submarine, the H.L. Hunley. Lula Crosland Ricaud later reproduced the book in part in her Family of Edward and Ann Snead Crosland, published in 1958.

RE 10-11: Colin Fraser
The Edmonton Oilers badly needed Colin Fraser. In fact, they needed three of them. However, based on the price I don't think Oiler fans should look a gift horse in the mouth.
Colin Fraser is a very important player for the 2010-11 Edmonton Oilers. Toughness, penalty killing, faceoffs (many ownzone) and mentoring young men who are stepping into their first NHL seasons.
He's more than the new Brodziak (Fraser has more grit) or the new Marty Reasoner (Fraser is younger) and if he can play the role well (3rd line center, checker, penalty killer) Colin Fraser will be a fan favorite and an extremely valuable part of the team.
•Boxcars: 70gp, 7-12-19
•Shots: 92
•Plus Minus: +6
•Corsi (Rel): -2.4 (8th among regulars)
•GF-GA ON: 25-20 (at 5×5)
•5×5/60: 2.01 (6th among regulars)
•5×4/60: 0.00 (as you would expect)
•Quality of Competition: 12th F (easiest)
•Quality of Teammates: 9th F (third line calibre)
•FO %: 48.8% in 445 faceoffs
•Cap Hit: $825,000 times 2 seasons
- What do these numbers tell us? He played in nice circumstances and he delivered pretty well offensively. The Hawks were a deep club last season, with Toews, Sharp and Madden ahead of Fraser on the C depth chart. He didn't take a lot of faceoffs (based on 70gp) and wasn't counted on like he will be in Edmonton. Still, he seems to have played well in the "you don't have to score but don't get scored on either" depth role.
- How could these numbers be better? It's a Catch-22. You'd like him to post the numbers above while playing tougher competition (as he will this season) but then again you can't fault him for not having the opportunity. I don't think there's much negative about his most recent season.
- Is this a good time for him to be taking on a larger role? Yes, absolutely. He's 25, has played over 150 NHL games and isn't being projected into a role he's unfamiliar with at the big league level. Many bloggers think Steve Tambellini has been over-praised this summer, but the Fraser deal (and other moves) are really solid (if unspectacular) transactions. Colin Fraser is young enough to be here when the times get good; that fact and his skill set being a nice match for the 3-4C role makes this a terrific pickup.
- Will he play against tough competition? Yes, I'd say so. Horcoff and Fraser will likely be the PK centermen and if the club decides to use Gagner in the same role he had last season then Fraser becomes the Marty Reasoner/Jarret Stoll in the batting lineup.
- He should do well. I'd feel much better about it if Fraser had a Pisani-type to help in that role. Maybe Ryan Jones will emerge as that player; but right now I wish the Oilers had kept Pouliot for this reason.
- Wow. Shocker. Well, there are other options out there, and maybe Steve Tambellini is looking for one of them right now. However, good veteran wingers who can help out are being gobbled up (even in this slow summer) so I'm losing hope that the team will round out the roster with more Fraser's.
- If the Oilers have another poor season, they'll get a higher draft pick. And I'm on board with that, but do believe that the team should have enought veterans to show the way. The organization will do well to have a mentor for these youngsters and perhaps Fraser will serve that role well. I think he could use some help.
- How important is Colin Fraser to the organization? Very important. Edmonton doesn't have many players who fit his description (experienced NHL player with a wide range of skills, including grit, PK, FO) and Shawn Horcoff has been getting injured with alarming regularity in recent seasons.
Prediction for 2010-11: 75gp, 8-14-22
He'll be asked to hold back the water

Good news, loyal Fifty Shades of Grey lovers! It looks as though the field for who will play Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie is finally starting to narrow, and if fans get their way, one very sexy brunette will wind up nabbing the coveted spot.
A new poll put out by Books & Review has six actresses listed as possible Anastasias -- and it's really no huge shock that a gorgeous Twilight vampire has landed herself a spot on the list. And yes, Kristen Stewart made the cut, but she doesn't have as many people buzzing about her playing Ana as one of her fellow co-stars does.
Ashley Greene has emerged as a favorite with fans, and honestly, she may just be the perfect actress to fill Ana's shoes. First of all, she's beyond gorgeous -- like really beyond gorgeous. It's highly doubtful that anyone would complain about having to watch her on-screen for two hours (possibly in the buff). And Ashley also has an understated sex appeal going for her, which is key to accurately portraying Ana's character.
More from The Stir: Chelsea Handler Gets Really Honest About '50 Shades of Grey' & Its Fans (VIDEO)
If she does manage to be the lucky actress who is cast in the flick, it will be a far cry from her role as Alice Cullen, that's for sure. If anything, it will give her the time in the spotlight she most definitely deserves. (And poor Joe Jonas will totally be crying into his beer.)
Ok, so you're probably curious as to who the other five names are who are favored contenders for Ana's spot. Other than Kristen Stewart, there's Emma Watson, Alexis Bledel, Felicity Jones from The Worst Witch, and Alexandra Daddario from Percy Jackson & the Olympians.
(Don't worry, I'm not very familiar with the last two either. But maybe that's a good thing if one of them winds up being cast? No preconceived notions, etc.?)
What do you think of Ashley Greene as Anastasia Steele? Does she fit the part? Or does one of these other actresses stand out to you?

She would be perfect!!! She has what it takes to be Anastacia.....go Ashley!!!
Yes for Ashley!
o0o0o0o I LOVED Alexandra and Alexis.... I think its a tie between them.... they could both potentially portray Ana perfectly
I think her face looks a little bit too arrogant and old (Not like way old but just not a student face anymore) for a cute student who just finished exams, I still am in for Alexes Bledel as Anastasia and Ryan Gosling or Matt Boomer as Christian Grey :)
Excellent Choice, can she bite her lip as well as Kristen Stewart, Though?
no no to kristen stewart any of others to play ana
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

She might have lost out to Meryl Streep for best actress, but Michelle Williams took home my best-dressed award. Her coral Louis Vuiton gown was stunning—as was her matching lips. Beautiful cream blush and loads of lashes earned extra applause.
Fashion risk taker Rooney Mara was sheer perfection in red lips, blunt cut bangs and a Givenchy gown. It was goth done right. In fact, she looked like a goth Audrey Hepburn. Her scary perfect eyebrows were the envy of every starlet in the room. And can we talk about her skin—flawless. Forgoing bronzer, pale never looked so good.
Ingénue Emma Stone continued her rule of the red carpet. Her red Giambattista Valli gown—complete with a big bow—was breathtaking. Loved her pink eye shadow and winged eyeliner. Side swept bangs added to the appeal. This is a girl to watch.
Jessica Chastain was a breath of fresh air—and hair! Her long free flowing hair (extensions) was the star of the red carpet. Love the winged eyeliner and clean full eyebrows. Amazing skin, too—dewey and flawless.
Angelina Jolie was channeling Veronica Lake in bright red lips, arched brows and thick black eyeliner. The newly hued auburn hair styled ala "Put The Blame On Mame" was fresh and modern. The black Versace gown with leg bearing slit added to the charm.
Best supporting Oscar winner Octavia Spencer took my advice from my last column—she put some color on her lips! The darker hued lips added shape and dimension to her full face. Bravo. I loved her humble acceptance speech, too.
Unfortunately, as much I adore Viola Davis, her make-up and hair was a disaster. Matching your eye shadow with your green Vera Wang dress is a no-no and a throwback to the 1980s. Also, the orange mini-afro did nothing to her skin tone. Awful. I did like her smokey lined eyes.
Although I think The Artist's Berenice Bejo is a beauty, her pulled back braided wedding do was a definite no-no. The heavy lined eyes did nothing for her soft features. I would have much preferred her in her black and white "The Artist" make-up.
Another no-no was Kelly Osbourne. The violet hair is getting old—and the sad side swept up-do made her look like she was going to a wedding in Utah. Someone so stylish should know better.
And kudos to Meryl Streep for thanking her make-up artist of 37 years J. Roy Helland (who won an Oscar for best make-up for "The Iron Lady") during her acceptance speech on the podium. Bravo Meryl.
That's it for this Award Season, kids. Watch for celebrity how-tos later in the week.

The charitable trust of late hotelier Leona Helmsley and her husband has donated $9.7 million to Greenwich Hospital to help pay for the hospital's new outpatient surgery center in Greenwich, Conn., which opened in January. According to The Stamford (Conn.) Advocate, the center will be renamed the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Ambulatory Medical Center.
The new surgery center offers a range of outpatient procedures, including eye, gynecologic, plastic and orthopedic surgeries. It will provide more space for surgeries at the hospital, where operating rooms had been close to capacity, according to hospital officials.

London and more noodle..
Maybe I am complaining. Maybe I am not. Shoryu Ramen has expanded at the speed of light. Its 4 branches extend from Lower Regent Street, through to Kingly Court. In addition to this, a chain "Southeast Asian" noodle restaurant from… well… Dubai has just opened on Shaftesbury Avenue. There are also news about 2 ramen and 1 udon restaurants coming from Japan to London in the foreseeable future. This seems the age of noodle resurrection since Yau's Wagamama. In my opinion, there is no super perfect noodle here yet (Koya, ahem!).. and here's my experience at the latest noodle contenders.

GARY | The historic election of the city's first black female mayor is expected to energize the ongoing effort to revive the Steel City.
Karen Freeman-Wilson's nomination was historic for the city and community. When she took office in the beginning of the year, she vowed the community would see a new day.
Her plan is to shutter as many abandoned buildings as possible and aggressively encourage economic development in the downtown corridor beginning with tearing down one of the city's largest eyesores, the Sheraton Hotel.
"It's at one of the gateways to our city," she said. "Its one of the first things people see when they come off the Toll Road. People who are frequent visitors to the Genesis Center and the courthouse also see it, and it speaks volumes to the amount of decay and despair in our city."
The demolition of the deteriorating building, at 465 Broadway, is expected to begin soon, after a contractor is chosen for the project.
In addition to the mayor's efforts to enhance the city, millions of dollars are being pumped into the area to bolster special projects aimed toward making the city more attractive.
The transformation of the former Tolleston High School into a brand new Boys & Girls Club is expected to be a more than $6 million endeavor. Officials plan to renovate the aging school, at 2700 W. 19th Ave., into a fully functioning club and administrative building by the end of the year.
"You have local residents who will have the opportunity to work (on the renovation), and the long-term benefit is the fact that the club will become a beacon in the community," Freeman-Wilson said.
The other notable large beautification project is under way on the lakeshore. The $28 million Marquette Park restoration project was awarded millions of dollars in federal grants late last year.
The project was stalled by vandalism but should still be completed this year, city officials said.
As part of Freeman-Wilson's four-year plan, she hopes to construct new housing on the lakefront to complement the park's renovation.
"I can't think of any other place to invest in rather than Marquette Park," she said. "You have a beautiful lakefront. You have homes that are off the lagoon and you have homes both to the east and west of Marquette Park, and it really is beautiful."
Another focal point for community leaders is the area surrounding the Gary/Chicago International Airport.
Accessibility to the city also will be bolstered by a new agreement to provide direct air routes between Gary and Orlando, Fla., through Allegiant Air, airport director Steve Landry said.
"We're providing services to Northwest Indiana again," he said.
Freeman-Wilson hopes the airport will eventually be able to help alleviate the overcrowding in Chicago's airports and bring business to Gary.
"We have three rail lines and four interstates that run through Gary," she said. "We have a waterfront and an airport. The airport is one of the transportation assets that is undeveloped. We have an opportunity there to utilize that asset."
All of the new development planned for the city is creating hope, Freeman-Wilson said.
"So many people want to be helpful," she said. "And it's exciting because there is an opportunity for us to really succeed."

Open thread: Having grit means living life like a marathon, not a sprint. Share your story of grit, and how it made a difference.
As a seventh-grade math teacher in New York, Angela Lee Duckworth quickly realized that IQ wasn't the only thing separating the successful students from those who struggled.
We'd like to start an open discussion on the idea that "grit" is one of the main factors for success in school and beyond. Does this ring true, in your experience? Have you ever seen grit make the difference between failure and success?

ADAMS, WI (WSAU) - An Adams County altercation has led to the arrest of a Stevens Point man. 30-year-old Otis Kopstein is accused of pointing a 45-caliber handgun at a woman and threatening her last May. The victim claims Kopstein fired a shot out the door before pointing the weapon at her.
Kopstein is charged with 1st degree recklessly endangering safety and with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Electronic court records show Kopstein has past marijuana convictions. The alleged incident occurred last May, but the complaint was filed just last week. He will make an initial appearance in Adams County court February 11th.

Lawyers for board members of a beleaguered metro Atlanta school system appeared in court on Friday to argue why they should not be removed from their positions.Judge Richard Story is considering legal challenges to the state law that allowed Gov. Nathan Deal to announce suspensions of several board members. The governor wants to suspend six of nine DeKalb County School Board members at the recommendation of the state board of education. A federal judge issued an order temporarily preventing him from replacing the board members until Friday's hearing.
A source told FOX 5 that former DeKalb County School Board Chairman Eugene Walker -- one of those recommended to be removed from the board -- was the only member who refused to resign and prevent the hearing.Judge Story opened the hearing by telling the packed courtroom that he understands the seriousness of the issue. He went on to say that he is aware that his decision will affect thousands of students in DeKalb County. The judge says he is a parent and he knows what it is like to care about your children. The board's attorney, Bob Wilson, is arguing the law circumvents voters and is therefore unconstitutional. Wilson said that the electoral process is important and removal without specific due process would be unjust. The attorney for the governor and the State Board of Education said that this is not a measure that was done to be punitive to board members but said that it is for the good of the community, the stakeholders and the children of DeKalb. The hearing continued late into Friday afternoon.
Walker said that he believes the law is unconstitutional, but he will abide by the judge's ruling.

A word from Franciscan Crab Restaurant
"Hands down the best food you'll find on San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf" proclaimed Sunset Magazine. An extensive renovation has revitalized the Franciscan Crab Restaurant, a Fisherman's Wharf institution since 1957. White tiled walls, beautiful marble bar and twenty foot windows overlook the bay and Alcatraz. Terraced dining affords views from every table: hand blown glass shades and chandeliers dazzle, black and white photos of celebrity patrons adorn the stairs and walls.Continued

- Good choiceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/20/2014We choose this restaurant for the seafood and the view. Requested and received a window seat looking over the bay. We had the skillet shrimp for an appetizer which was tasty. I had the half of crab and my husband had the crab enchilada. We were happy with our choices.Special Features:
- Amazing viewOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/19/2014Dined here while visiting SF for the weekend. Chose this restaurant based on good reviews, proximity to our hotel in fisherman's wharf and we really wanted seafood. The 3 course tasting menu was very economical ($30) and had some good choices (we had crab legs and crab enchiladas). I was not a huge fan of the chowder (not very creamy). The views of the harbour and Alcatraz were amazing - this is a very special place. The service was great, although very fast. My husband and I enjoyed having a quick meal, but others may have felt rushed especially for a special occasion dinner.Special Features:
- EcellentEarlyDined on 9/19/2014Great view, friendly wait staff, kid friendly and great place to bring family and guests from out of town....great views of AlcatrazSpecial Features:
- Great Seafood! Great Service!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/19/2014This is an awesome place. If you're reading this, you're probably looking for somewhere on the Wharf to eat seafood. Go there. Get the cioppino. Sit there for an hour and enjoy it like we did. You will not be disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experiencekarenkDined on 9/19/2014Wanted a San Francisco spot to take my out of town guest. I was perfect. Validated parking across the street. Great view. Friendly staff. Delicious food from the pre-meal bread to the dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!martinigirlVIPDined on 9/16/2014We were very afraid that this was going to be too "touristy" of a restaurant but it did not turn out that way at all. Def a supper club type of feel to it. The food was excellent and even though our server also had several large groups of international travelers, he was till pleasant and attentive. We split a ceaser salad, that came with a wonderful homemade dressing and then split the large order of crab. The crab was sweet and the roasted garlic sauce they were cooked with was in no way overpowering. Would def return here the next time we are in San Francisco.Special Features:
- Request for more serversOrbitDined on 9/16/2014There was only one severr who was authorized to take orders in the area we dined, and he was too much tied up when there was a large group taking more than ten minutes to make an order.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time and it was fantastic!DallasDinerDined on 9/12/2014The Dungeness Crab w Garlic Butter was incredible. Out server Ben was famtastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SeafoodLuv2eatDined on 9/11/2014Great sizzling hot plates of seafood to share! So good we had to do it eat a couple of times!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TouristyCrabbyDined on 9/10/2014This place is great if you are just visiting and want a great view. But the food is overpriced and not very good.Special Features:
- Eating here will make you crabbyKabKimDined on 9/6/2014I don't mind spending a lot for a meal if it's decent but the expensive, mediocre a la carte menu will make you feel like you were robbed. The meat in the mussels were the size of peas. The $18 crab cakes were very small and not meaty at all. Come on, it's a crab house! They should be spectacular. Soup is so-so and not worth $10. Shrimp is not shelled. No sides on any shell fish dishes, Throw some greens on the plate. Something! Chef won't blacken the halibut-sticks strictly to menu. I felt like our party of 6 was being rushed. The bill was given before we asked about dessert. No coffee offered. Left the place still hungry and disappointed and ripped off. Only plus was the beautiful view. Too bad the menu and service can't match.Special Features:
- Overpriced, poor service.DkajtezDined on 9/5/2014The server was terrible. Referenced us as 'table 16'. I could hear him swearing non stop at the waiter station. Totally obnoxious. And to make matters worse the food was not good. Very bland calm chowder with only 3 clams in the entire bowl. The crab had a weird flavor. The oysters were good, but small. Not worth the $$$. Over priced for poor service and less than mediocre food.Special Features:
- Great DiningEdwinJDined on 9/5/2014My wife and I, and another couple had dinner here on Friday evening, September 5, 2014. We all live in the New York I City metropolitan area where fine dining is always available. My friends were not initially impressed with the appearance/layout of the restaurant, but when the food came they thoroughly enjoyed their meal. So did my wife and I. Initially my wife did not like the seasoning in her shrimp dinner. We informed our waiter, and the waiter gladly informed her to order a different item on the menu. She ordered a crab dinner, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and she was only charged for the cost of the crab dinner. I would definitely want to come back again the next time I am in the San Francisco Bay Area.Special Features:
- Seafood dinner with a viewMorefoodpleaseVIPDined on 9/4/2014You can see Alcatraz, and the bay while eating Crab Alfredo while watching the sunset!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view!DM11RoxDined on 9/1/2014The view at sunset was fabulous! We enjoyed the dungeness crab so much we came back twice. The garlic sauce was great for dipping. We steamed garlic clams and the skillet mussels were very good appetizers.Special Features:
- so soMskaiDined on 8/31/2014So glad I made a reservation. The place was packed! My friends ordered the crab which they enjoyed. I had the shrimp and mussels. It was sub par. The mussels were so small. I was disappointed. We did like our table by the window with the view of Alcatraz and the Bay. The waiter was a bit full of himself.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome ambiance - so so crabCzechipinaDined on 8/31/2014The ambiance cannot be matched. The drinks and appetizers were delicious and well done. We ordered the crab feast, which was fun, but surprisingly dry. The options for sides was disappointing. I would still go again, but perhaps ask for butter on the side and maybe more appetizers up front. We ordered 6. They were totally superior to the sides, which was strange. Overall you cannot beat the view and the vibe to show off our great city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A memorable dining experienceWilltravel2dineDined on 8/30/2014We enjoyed it all. The crab and seafood selection was the best that I have seen in years. The crab legs are generous and meaty.We had a view of the San Francisco bay while dining. What a combination! Great location, great seafood and all on the pier.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Loved itJackieDined on 8/28/2014We had a great view of the SF Bay (everyone does), awesome food and a personable waiter. The speed of service was like nothing we've seen - while the waiter was taking our appetizer order, our drinks were coming to our table (impressive electronic service system)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, poor serviceChristopheDDined on 8/27/2014Food was very good, lot's of delicious fish choices on the menu, but we were unlucky with the kitchen service. Our entree arrived 3 minutes after our starter... We asked the waiter to take it back to the kitchen and bring us a warm dish once our appetizer was finished. They however didn't prepare a new one but just put it on the hot plate... So we again complained and finally they made a new fresh dish. All this complaining is just such a waist of time. The kitchen could have figured out that a dish that stands on the hot plate for 10 minutes is ruined...I would recommend this to a friend.
- A lovely place to dine and watchBillMcGrathDined on 8/25/2014We ate here while killing time before a flight to Paris. We originally made reservations for 6 p.m. but wound up nearby around 4 p.m., so we went in. They seated us at a window and we were the only table in our server's section. He was attentive and helpful. We had a bottle of white wine toward the low end of their list and we enjoyed it. We ordered appetizers before our main course. The portions were reasonable and the seafood fresh. I had the halibut in a cioppino-style sauce and it was perfectly done. Overall, we enjoyed our meal very much. It was pricey, but so are most good restaurants. The service could not have been better.Special Features:
- Tasty seafood/be ready to spendRangerBobIsHereDined on 8/21/2014We ordered the Sea Bass with Thai broth - this was exceptional. The shrimp cocktail was good but you need to ask for extra cocktail sauce. Calimari was GREAT!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Tourist SeasonpmcrickDined on 8/9/2014Foolishly chose to go to the Franciscan on a Sat. night during tourist season. But my Open Table reservation was honored within 15 min. Although the restaurant was packed, our server, Bianca, was pleasant and had a sense of humor about the chaos. As always, the view was spectacular. Our meal was delivered in a timely manner with no loss of quality. A good experience, all around. Plus, the crowd was entertaining!Special Features:
- Cool seafood experienceSonyDined on 8/8/2014You can't beat the view at this place! The food didn't seem all that special, was the same as any seafood house but the view makes it worth while. The restaurant is huge, and it wasn't too crowded compared to other similar places near by that has gross fishy smells. This fit the bill for our crab night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/8/2014LOVED the food it was outstanding but the service was a little slow.

- Exquisite Excellence !!!!!!!!!!!!!!ServiceTravelerDined on 8/5/2014My wife and I were in San Francisco for a week. With the help of Open Table we made reservations and ate at the Franciscan on four different days - one lunch and three dinners. The food was spectacular, the service was spectacular and the view of the bay is spectacular. My wife had four different meals each time and loved them all. I had the crab enchiladas and loved them so much that I ate them for all four meals. I love crab and I love enchiladas but I can't get crab enchiladas in Texas. I worked my way through college as a waiter, so I am very hard to please as a customer. After four visits, I am very happy to say that the staff at the Franciscan are very well trained. We had four different waiters. Each was superb! Highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Utah Utes are 35-0 against Big Sky opponents and have outscored Weber State 119-44 in the teams' three meetings, yet there is no chance the Utes are going to take the Wildcats lightly when the teams meet at noon on Saturday in Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Evidence of what happens when a smaller school isn't taken seriously mounted over the course of opening weekend, with seven teams from the FCS notching upsets against FBS teams.
Little guys win
Seven FCS teams defeated bigger FBS opponents in the opening week of college football. The scores, with the payouts each FCS team received:
Result Payout
Eastern Washington def. No. 25 Oregon State, 49-45 $450,000
North Dakota State def. Kansas State, 24-21 $350,000
McNeese State def. South Florida, 53-21 $400,000
Eastern Illinois def. San Diego State, 40-19 $325,000
Northern Iowa def. Iowa State, 28-20 $350,000
Towson def. UConn, 33-18 $275,000
SUU def. South Alabama, 22-21 $225,000

The biggest upset was Eastern Washington's 49-45 win over No. 25 Oregon State, marking just the third time an FCS team beat a ranked FBS team.
Other upsets included SUU's 22-21 win over South Alabama, Eastern Illinois' 40-19 win over San Diego State and North Dakota State's 24-21 win over Kansas State.
The Utes don't want to be added to the list of upsets in Week 2.
"We're going to take them just as serious as Utah State," defensive tackle Tenny Palepoi said. "We aren't overlooking anyone. We don't feel like we have the right to do that."
If the Utes keep their focus, they should be able to put the Wildcats away early and have a relatively easy afternoon. That scenario is exactly why Utah schedules FCS teams — to catch a break and virtually ensure a win before hitting the difficult part of their schedule.
It's a scheduling habit most FBS teams follow and one that many deem as necessary to survive the rigors of the long season.
But as strength of schedule becomes more important when college football moves to more of a playoff system in 2014, will the demand for scheduling teams such as Weber State continue to exist?
Utah athletic director Chris Hill, for one, believes it will. He believes the Utes have plenty of difficulty in their season thanks to a nine-game Pac-12 schedule. He also likes to schedule another high quality non-conference opponent, such as BYU this year or Michigan in 2014 and 2015, to make things challenging and keep the Utes' profile high.
The key is to just not make things too challenging, which is why Utah is playing Idaho State in 2014 and SUU in 2016.
"If you are only playing one of those games, it's not going to influence the strength of schedule too much," Hill said. "What people are really looking for is a chance to play seven home games to give people an opportunity to go to games."
FCS teams are willing to be FBS victims, er, opponents, for big checks. The Utes are paying Weber State $400,000 for Saturday's game — a small price to pay considering the Utes usually make about $1.68 million in ticket sales alone per game. Scheduling local teams such as Weber State and SUU also allows the Utes to help keep interest up with local connections and keeps the money in-state.
"It's good to keep the resources in state," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. "I'd like to think playing us helps those teams too."
Of course, things can backfire. One of the more humorous tidbits of all the weekend losses was that the seven FCS teams combined for $2.375 million in profits for the games according to ESPN. They took the paycheck, got the win and the notoriety, making it a total win for the little guys.
The Utes are determined they aren't this week's victim of such proportions. The Wildcats beat Stephen F. Austin 50-40 a week ago, adding to Utah's respect for Weber as an opponent.
"Those wins got our players' attention," Whittingham said of the FCS upsets. "Weber State got a big win with a lot of offense and rushed the ball extremely well and put up a lot of points."

What's in a name? The Whisky Advent Calendar (2013 Edition) whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled The Whisky Advent Calendar (2013 Edition) whiskey, rather than whisky.
Wow....I got this at Christmas and here we are towards the end of February and I just reached number 24.....a 40 year old masterpiece from the first distillery that I ever visited, and who first introduced me to the wonders of a true single malt experience....Glenfarclas! Every one of the 24 was superb in its own way....from Swedish to Japanese to Yankee bourbons...and yes...even the odd blend!! What a mix, a delight, a genuine discovery! Thanks so much for allowing us the chance to sample....but bigger thanks goes to my wife, Karen, for her infinite wisdom in buying this for me...a very lucky chap!! Bruce.
24th February 2014
I bought this as a present for myself for 2013. I was scorned by friends for buying it but I think this was more due to jealousy than any other reason. I enjoyed every dram and it was nice to go out on a 40 year old Glenfarclas! People moaning about price should at least see the contents before commenting. It's not 24 nips of jonny walker! I'll be buying another one for this year :)
27th January 2014
This is the best thing you could buy yourself or a whisky lover as a gift. The variety in this collection is amazing. If you get it and follow it with advent the anticipation of opening a new dram each night makes it more fun than just having a glass. There were new drams from favorite distilleries and more than half of the distilleries I had never even heard of. As a beginner/intermediate whisky connoisseur there is no better way to try a wide variety of whiskies. Enjoy!
25th December 2013
my wife bought me this and it's been so good. many, many thanks. just had the Christmas Eve 40 yr old for breakfast (not been brave enough to have the others in the morning) and I have a happy glow. merry Christmas!
24th December 2013
I have had so much fun with this, and still four days to go! I will miss the nightly ritual of opening the window and finding a fantastic dram behind. If you did this in a 365 day version, I'd buy!! Roll on next year's offering!
20th December 2013
You still get all the whisk(e)y :) You just have to play catch-up; trust me, it's not so bad!
18th December 2013
Yes like many others i did think twice (well more like a hundred times) whether spending this much on a calendar would be worth it. But the look on my husbands face was priceless! Like many others have posted, he looks forward to opening it, researching it, and then looks forward to tasting it as a nightcap. He has been able to sample whiskys that he would never have thought to try. Money well spent! thank you :)
11th December 2013
Wish I had known about this sooner, would have bought one ..... now if it was offered at a discount since part way through Dec. I shall try to remember for next year as it looks great!
7th December 2013
I bought this for my father who transforms in to a child in the mornings. This is by far the best present I have ever got my dad. The whisky selection so far has been varied and high quality. As above, if you have anyone dear to you, who loves whisky and difficult to buy for, this is defiantly an excellent gift for them.
I am a Scotchie who recently branched out into ryes. My wife says I am impossible to buy scotch for, because my collection has just about everything that she could imagine already in it. Well, she got me the premium calendar for Christmas and, obviously, couldn't hold on to it. The first dram was Old Hobart from Australia. Never heard of it, but Murray's Whisky Bible gives it a 90. The second was a Grant's 25-y.o. blend. Never had that either. Who knows what the third one will be. What a chance to explore! This is going to be a great Christmas. I'm with the guys above whose agony it is to get past breakfast when it is unfashionable to have whisky at that hour.
I just received one from longtime friends. A great gift that goes well beyond the cost per ounce. It's a chance to try new whiskies and enjoy familiar ones. A true indulgence that lasts for weeks. High quality, solid packaging, delicious whisky. Would 100% recommend as a gift for anyone in your life who enjoys scotch / whisky.
4th December 2013
A brilliant present received. Loving my daily surprise and wee dram :-)
Three days and so far three nice whiskies. Can't wait to see the 24th - last year it was a real treat for Christmas Eve. Also getting a lot of jealous comments on FB...:)
3rd December 2013
72cl = 24.346us fl oz. That makes it about $10 an ounce. Yes it is expensive. But it sure made my husband happy.
2nd December 2013
Yes it's expensive but worth it to see the genuine look of love on my partner's face when he unwrapped it and realised that he now just has to have a nightcap every day till Xmas. We are on day 2 and a natural rhythm is emerging; he opens that day's door at breakfast and then researches that whisky online. Rest of day spent looking forward to tasting it after supper. Actually, on day one we had it at breakfast on porridge with cream. Bliss.
I have just purchased this as a treat for my Dad who will be counting down to his 80th Christmas! He was very excited to receive it. I was also, very disappointed with the cardboard packaging, which was scratched in a couple of places, but really it was the basic cardboard container that was a surprice when spending £150.00, it is not very glam.
1st December 2013
packaging poor. Also details of how best to taste missing. eg should it be chilled? should it be with tonic? or as a martini? A little more etail would make a big difference
must admit though that my first taster was brilliant
Well it's finally arrived, but the agony now is I have to wait as scotch is not allowed for breakfast in our house. So far I'm very impressed with the reviews of the first bottle I'm looking forward to my wee dram tonight!
We're very sorry to hear that - has it been damaged at all? Please don't hesitate to get in contact with Customer Service (email@example.com - 01892888376) and we'll do what we can to rectify the situation! - The Chaps at Master of Malt
29th November 2013
I can't vouch for the contents, as its a present for somebody else, but as its a present I'm very disappointed with the packaging.
28th November 2013
I mean, sure it's quality whiskey...but $20 per ounce?!!!! That is f!@#$ing ridiculous!
25th November 2013
I won major points last year with this gift, my boyfriend LOVED it. Can't wait to get it again this year! It's expensive, but for 31 days of tasty and unique gifts, it's worth every penny!
19th November 2013
Had so much fun with this last year, can't wait to get my hands on this year's!
Enjoyed it so much last year we even ordered a load more drams for our wedding favours... Whisky for the men, gin for the ladies...!!
30th October 2013
I started opening mine a little early as i could not contain my excitement, worth every cent this calendar is amazing with a great variety of Whiskys and they are all beautifully packaged. Would make an amazing present for any whisky lover out there!
29th October 2013
bought this for my husband... can't wait to see his face.. I will help him enjoy throughout December. Can you do a RUM calendar for me please...
