Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: GNW WM SYMC QCOR AGCO GTLS (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:37 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Wednesday.
Cramer said investors should not worry about Genworth Financial (GNW) because the stock is a buy for the second half of 2013. GNW fell 2.8% to $12.99.
Waste Management (WM) is "getting with the program," Cramer said. The company installed its 50th natural gas station as part of a continued move to alternative fuels, he added. WM rose nearly 1% to $42.03.Symantec (SYMC) beat top- and bottom-line estimates and is moving higher. Cramer praised the management and quick strategy implementation. SYMC was 9.6% higher at $26.68. Questcor Pharmaceuticals (QCOR) had a lot of short-sellers but was able to beat earnings, causing the stock to shoot higher. Cramer said he wished he'd stayed in it. QCOR soared by 28.4% to $66.66. According to Cramer, Agco Corp. (AGCO) "is doing better than Deere (DE)," and money for farming is going to go somewhere now that fertilizer prices have been crushed. Agco rose 2.5% to $56.25. Morgan Stanley downgraded Chart Industries (GTLS). Cramer said that's a mistake, citing the company as the only true natural-gas play because its equipment is a necessity for converting natural gas to a usable fuel. GTLS rose 1.2% to close at $113.70. To sign up for Jim Cramer's free Booyah! newsletter, with all of his latest articles and videos, please click here. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

- " The location is great, just a minute walk from the nearest tube station and the Borough Market. Great for women traveling alone though reception is a five minute walk from the women's only hostel. The breakfast was good, especially considering it was included. The WiFi is a bit slow and the floors of the dorm were a bit dirty but not that bad. The location is great for getting to places quick but it's loud at night. The showers aren't the best but toiletries are towels were included. "

- " Found it to be quite sad to be just a bed hostel. I thought it would have more atmosphere. There was no lockers, so we had to take the value stuff with us all day long. And paying for lockers at The Village?!?! Bathrooms were really small, no chance to keep our clothes dry, they turned all wet just because there wasn't place to put our stuff in. Also, in the last floor there was not hot water, or water at all...We had to take shower at the second floor. Poor breakfast, and only between 7-9am?! "

Student Info
This is it. A chance to prove your innovative embedded design ideas on a national venue attended by leading technology companies and universities from across the nation.
The Cornell Cup USA, presented by Intel, is a very open competition to design, build, and demonstrate your greatest invention ideas. Any embedded design invention that you can dream up and create is fair game. Whether it's doing something that has never been done before, or doing something even better than ever, as long as you can demonstrate how your idea addresses an exciting challenge or important need, we want to see it.
What Can I Win?
How about $10,000! And that's just for starters. The creators and sponsors of the competition believe in you and what you can do if you are given you the chance. Approximately 20 teams will be selected to participate in the final and they will get a lot! Just by being accepted to compete in the final, your team will be given all of the following support:
- Three Intel Atom Tunnel Creek Boards
- $2,500 for project development and travel
- Access to the Intel Quad-Requests Technical Support System
- Tokens to exchange for Meetings with Intel Experts
- Vouchers to purchase Tektronix, Fluke, & Keithley Lab Equipment
Plus an invitation to compete at the final two-Day event at Walt Disney World which includes access to discounted rooms and park tickets.
In total, three grand prizes for the top three entries will be awarded $10,000, $5,000, and $2,500 respectively. In addition first, second, and third-place awards will also be bestowed to finalist teams who may not have won the grand prize but deserve additional recognition for the great quality of their work. Get your team together and start working towards the application today!
How to Get Accepted
To apply, create a team of 3-5 undergraduate or masters-level students in either engineering or computer science, with at least one faculty advisor from your university (up to three), and optionally at least one additional faculty member who will be willing to serve on a design review board for your team*. Then create an idea. The application will guide you through ways to flush out that idea, make a plan for your team to create that idea's prototype, and ultimately make a convincing case that your idea is the one they want to see in person at the finals.
Interdisciplinary teams are highly welcome.
*These optional review board faculty may sign up to agree to be responsible for reviewing both your application and final project as well as attending all major design reviews and filling out associated feedback summary sheet throughout the school year. For their efforts, they will receive an invitation to the Intel Cornell Cup competition at Walt Disney World at a special rate.
About the Application
More than just a showcase for your ideas, the Cornell Cup USA, presented by Intel, will challenge you to think about your projects in new and powerful ways, improving your designs and aiding you in its robust creation. You may be one of the greatest young minds, creative thinkers, visionary doers but eventually at some point in your career, sheer skill and talent will not be enough alone to realize your vision. You need to develop a plan and ways to formalize your thoughts so that a team of people can work efficiently and effectively together and hence allow you to focus all of your skills and talents in one area at a time while helping to ensuring success for your overall project.
The college environment can help push you to learn. This competition will help push you to excel in developing new ways of thinking to take from being a student into becoming a high achieving professional. Whenever you embark on a new way of thinking there will always be a part of you that is resistant to the change. That resistance can be helpful as it will aid you in being critical in retrospect as to what were the most beneficial aspects of the process. But in order to recognize that benefit you must commit to going through the process fully and complete it to the very best of your ability.
Do you want to be better than you are now? Do you want to challenge yourself and prove to the nation that you not only have some of the best ideas but that you can make your ideas a reality? Do you want to become a young professional well prepared to quickly advance in your career? Then join the competition. You can make an impact and we want to give you the chance now.

Making our Voices Heard
The last week of July 2013, TCIA members travelled to Washington for our biennial Legislative Day on the Hill. Held in conjunction with PLANET, TCIA members fanned out across the capital to meet with legislators on key industry issues, including: OSHA safety standards; funding for tree planting; seasonal worker visas; and reducing regulatory burdens, especially with regard to the Clean Water Act.
In all, members met with 18 Senators, Representatives and their staffers on behalf of the larger tree care industry.
The conference keynote speaker, Ari Shapiro, NPR's White House Correspondent, gave attendees a behind-the-scenes and up-to-the-minute look at the budget battles in Washington. While budget battles and other national issues were the main topic of interest on Capitol Hill, TCIA members did have the opportunity to meet with elected officials and their staff on tree care related issues.
"It was great to see people from so many perspectives come together around improving tree care industry safety and regulation," said Michael Galvin, Director, SavATree Consulting Group
Through grassroots efforts in the states and through direct action by TCIA's lobbyists, staff and members, your industry's trade association works to promote the interests of commercial and utility arboriculture. We lobby for two primary reasons: 1) to protect and expand your markets; and 2) to reduce your cost of doing business.
"Meeting key legislators who can make a positive difference in our livelihoods was a powerful experience," noted Andy Felix, President of Tree Tech Inc.
Thank you to all the members who make the trip on behalf of the industry.
Why we Visit Washington
TCIA, through its membership, is organized as a trade association. What does that mean specifically, and how is TCIA different from other groups in the green industry? A trade association is an organization founded and funded by businesses.
TCIA's mission is to "advance tree care businesses." One of the primary ways to protect and advance the industry is through attempts to influence public policy in a direction favorable to our members. TCIA does this with contributions to the campaigns of political candidates through the Voice for Trees political action committee, by supporting or opposing particular legislation, and by working to influence the activities of regulatory bodies such as OSHA and EPA.
There are almost 8,000 national trade associations in the United States, but only one represents the interests of the tree care industry.
No one knows tree care better than the people who run businesses every day, and TCIA – through its dedicated members – will continue to educate Washington on the unique issues and challenges the industry faces.
If you would like learn more about how you can take a more active role in your industry's government relations efforts, please contact Mark Garvin at email@example.com or by calling (603) 314-5380.

Report about the ITF Seminars in September 2013 in South Africa, Mozambique and Ethiopia
by Master Paul Weiler
South Africa – a starting signal for the ITF!
TASA = Taekwon-Do Federation South Africa under the leadership of Sabum Bert Gey van Pittius (5th degree) is working very hard to promote TKD ITF in this country. Recently a large number of clubs has broken away from Ung Chang group and has shown interest during a meeting to become our member. A decision will be taken very soon at the General Assembly of this group.
Sabum van Pittius is also ready to help and support the work of Master Weiler and to teach in Mozambique and/orZambia. The next seminar in South Africa will be scheduled for March 2014.
Master Weiler with Sabum Bert Gey van Pittius at the 1st ITF seminar in Pretoria
Mozambique – a new ITF member!
During the second visit in Mozambique this year Master Weiler was delighted to realize that
- Assocacao de Taekwon-Do ITF de Provincia de Maputo is now registered at the government and has all the required papers ready so send to the ITF
- the Minister of Youth and Sport, Mr. Fernando Sumbana, has a big interest in the development of Taekwon-Do ITF, especially in the Kid's program. He was very much impressed about the ITF program and the donation material (safety equipment of TOP TEN).
Mst. Weiler presents a part of the safety equipment to the Minister
- the Minister and his team have kept their promise from the day before and visited the 1st Inter African Cup at Maria Ana Mogas school on September 14th, 2013.
Competitors and spectators at the 1st Inter African Cup
- some clubs from Ung Chang group and from GTF joined already the new ITF Federation under the leadership of Joel dos Santos and more will come.
- Mr. John Ngulube from Zambia, who participated at the technical seminar, is very interested in becoming a member and requested already a seminar for Zambia.
The next step of the new federation is to be recognized in six provinces. After that the nationwide recognition can be requested and the chances are good especially with the help of the Minister of Youth and Sports.
At the and of the technical seminar 7 members have been promoted to 1st degree and 6 members to 2nd degree.
Ethiopia – the largest ITF Organization in Africa on the fast lane!
EITA = Ethiopian International Taekwon-Do Association is growing very fast (now more than 5000 members in 50 clubs and another 7 instructors has been promoted to 4th degree).
Meanwhile EITA is much bigger than WTF or any other TKD Federation in Ethiopia and new projects are already under progress. For the end of July 2014 it is scheduled to organize a Kid's course, an International Umpire Course, a technical seminar and the 3rd African Cup TKD ITF.
At the moment the federation is in the intensive preparation for the participation at the World Champs in Spain. The flights and the hotel are booked and the visas are issued already. For the first time in history Ethiopia ITF will be able to participate at World Champs!
Let us welcome them!

The 86th IIC was held in Hotel Lipki in Zvenigorod 30km outside of Moscow with 126 participants Russia, Belorussia, Scotland and Israel. Some participants drove for 10 hours to attend the IIC. The perfect event organization was in hands of host Mr. Uri Gromov 6th degree.
GM Marano, GM Bos and GM Lan were warmly welcomed to Russia.
The course covered all the color belt patterns and black belt degree patterns over the 3 days.
Self defense along with pre step sparring were spread over the course of the weekend.
The GM´s were very knowledgeable and answered many questions from some very keen TKD practitioners. Master Lazos 7th degree and ITF Russia President acted as a perfect and always present interpretator.
The course started on Friday with small questions and answer session for the senior grades with GM Marano. The course of the weekend was well planned with the 3 GM's taking turns every hour in order to teach different grades and different aspects of our wonderful art.
They were also very humorous in their teaching which made it fun and interesting to learn, especially for the senior's grades who usually are the teachers.
GM Marano asked Miss Julia Cross 6th times World Champion and present at the IIC to learn more to teach the 1st degree some sparring techniques which was a great honor and very much a surprise. The students enjoyed the lesson very much because of this different teaching and were very inspired.
Saturday evening a traditional Russian style banquet was organized with some presentations for the GM's and foreign guests.
The Russian organization and hospitality was wonderful along with students aged 13to 63 years old who trained very hard all weekend with enthusiasm and great spirit.

Dear Members
The ITF propose to inaugurate a "Hall of Fame" to honour its members. It will take a long time to go over past records to find suitable candidates and so it is proposed that each member country submits suitable candidates so that we may begin with minimum delay. Therefore we ask that the NA submits people who, it is thought, are suitable. We ask that you consider people who have won 3 gold medals or more (and include all medals won) in official ITF World Championships and submit the details of Name; Address; Date of Birth; Date of joining ITF; Degree certificate number; Full details of year, event, category and other details which may assist the candidate to be selected. We expect that as we progress there may be reason to include other competitors, such as other than gold medal winners in World and Continental events. The nominations are not only for competitors but should include outstanding people such as Coaches, Umpires, Organisers, Masters and any others who are considered to be outstanding in any way. This is a project under consideration and any suggestions about what sort of awards and the form they take will be welcome. This is a chance for your distinctive members to be recognised forever and the ITF Board hope that you will participate.
All recommendations should be sent to GM Tom MacCallum at e-mail email@example.com.
We hope to make the first presentations at the World Championships this year in Benidorm, it is up to you....Read more
The ITF is continuing to expand our social media connection with Taekwon-Do ITF members around the world with the launch of our official Twitter page.

As and from July 2013, the ITF's Communications Committee has set up a new contact channel, which will help us connect with the overwhelming majority of the Taekwon-Do community around the World.

On the weekend of 15thand 16thJune, the ITF Kids Committee presented two 1 day courses hosted by FITAE and ITF Netherlands.
On Saturday 15thJune 62 members of FITAE and ITF Ireland attended the 4th ITF Kids course in Rome Italy and on Sunday 16th June 50 members of ITF Netherlands, ITF Germany, ITF Denmark and ITF Belgium attended the 5th ITF Kids course in Utrecht, Netherlands.
ITF Kids - Rome, Italy
ITF Kids - Urecht, Netherlands
Each day the course, which focused on the 3-5yrs age range, started with some fun games according to the tenets of Taekwon-Do, these games help the children to understand the tenets and the principles behind them whilst being engaged in fun and enjoyment.
One of the key parts of the day was explaining about the core principles of the course, this is what really separates this program from any other kids course as it's to do with how the instructor teaches this age range to get the best out of the children. All the activities in the ITF Kids Course have an underlining message and a specific reason for doing them, instead of just doing a game for the sake of it.
The course is focused on Taekwon-Do and is driven by the way we teach TKD rather than focusing on themes that are unrelated to ITF TKD. There is a supplementary part that teaches about Danger Awareness specifically for this age range at a very basic level and there is also the introduction of the Kids Folder that they use to complete tasks at home, in the TKD Class and also at their School where their teacher will sign when they are working well. This encourages the children to work in a positive way in all areas of their lives.
Rome, Italy
The participants followed many fun games and also took part in some excellent interactive elements of the course where they worked in groups.
Rome , Italy
The courses were a big success with many people asking for more time to learn all of the new and interesting information. The next one day ITF Kids course will take place on Saturday 31stAugust in Livingston, Scotland. From 2014 the course will be run over two days incorporating the 5-7yrs age range.
The ITF Kids course has been created for all ITF members, this means the course belongs to the members and is a choice for members to follow. Instructors will however find the teaching principles are relevant to all ages and by following the course an instructor can improve the listening behaviours in their classes, raise the standards and increase retention of students.
The ITF Kids Committee consists of three members, Master Donato Nardizzi Chairman and Mr Fabian Izquierdo and Mr Philip Lear members.
Feedback from the courses
I believe that the opportunity to increase the number of inscriptions and the diffusion of TKD is very high with this course. It is a very good strategy that ITF decided to use to expand in the world.
I have been teaching ITF KIDS for 2 years. This course has made it easier for me to teach it.
RODNEY CONNOLLY – ITF Ireland
Innovative and "funny" course, useful to teach with joy and empathy with the children.
Thanks for the effort in developing such an interesting and useful teaching method. As soon as possible I will share with you ideas and experiences.
Children = Future
A real valid method dedicated to young children often forgotten by other sports or physical activities.
Clear explanations, explained enthusiastically and a lots of energy. New games. Good and thoughtful construction of the whole ITF Kids program in levels through 9th gup. With many games also Taekwon-Do techniques, and don't forget the themes .
Master James Tjin-A-Ton – ITF Netherlands
Good addition and motivation to deal with children from 3 years. It is as an instructor extremely rewarding to be part of their education in a responsible manner. Good motivating
Pollefeyt Yves – ITF Belgium
Really enjoyed the day and energy, thanks a lot for opening the mind to another level.
Sabum Carlo v de Braak Cong Do Kwan – ITF Netherlands
The ITF Kids Course and program is a brilliant adaptation of the ITF principles to the specific age group. Being flexible in materials makes it ideal for many cultures.
Thomas Brandt – ITF Denmark

Peach mint julep from Garden Rant! Apparently the chicken is named Bess. And she's super adorbs. I always forget that I love peaches. I used to go to the Italian festival (hello cannoli eating contest!) every summer somewhere in central Jersey and they had the best peaches I've ever had. But now I can't find peaches that compare to those so I gave up on them! I should get back in the ring. But they never seem ripe. What's the secret to finding perfect peaches, dear readers? Riddle me that.

Editorial Staff
What's in Store
for 2013
Nothing creates a spotlight like an international sporting event. And it's not just athletes that get caught in the glare but the hosts and sponsors too. For global companies, an event like the World Cup or the Olympics is a unique opportunity to show the world that they are also good global citizens. To get some perspective on this challenge, we asked Interbranders in five cities that will be hosting or have recently hosted one of these events to tell us about some of the successes and failures they've seen along the way.
With the rapid emergence in the last decade of Brazil as a world economic power, it seems fitting that the country will host not one but two upcoming global sports events: the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. Major construction works are behind schedule, though, and the government's attempt to speed things up by relaxing regulations has received heavy criticism in the press. Then in October the Minister of Sports, who had been in charge of preparations, resigned amidst an unfolding kickbacks scandal. With proper planning corporate citizenship might have been a top priority, but in the chaotic scramble to get the minimum required infrastructure and facilities in place, most non-essential considerations have been neglected. Brands involved with the events as sponsors and partners seem to be taking the same last-minute approach. There's not much being done in terms of building a long-term legacy, and instead the focus appears to be limited to promotions and fun. Ilana Herzberg, Strategy Consultant, Interbrand São Paulo
For China, the 2008 Summer Olympics was not only a unique platform to showcase its development but a catalyst for corporate citizenship. The three themes of the games established in the original bid, "Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics, People's Olympics," gave shape to citizenship efforts, pushing Chinese companies to take more responsibility for sustainable development, environmental protection, technological progress, and public welfare activities. Lenovo, the Chinese PC maker, answered the call by developing innovative computer products and information technology services to meet the specific needs of China's underserved rural communities. More than three years after the closing ceremonies, Lenovo's steady expansion into rural markets continues to promote development in local economies, while also spurring the company's strong business growth. Simon Meng, Consultant, Interbrand Beijing
Many aspects of corporate citizenship have long been second nature to businesses in Japan, with companies traditionally taking a holistic view of their role in society. Tokyo's bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, while unsuccessful, offers good insights into the state of corporate citizenship in Japan today. The bid focused on sustainability, with proposals for a "compact" city, renovation and reuse of the 1964 Olympic buildings, and an emphasis on renewable solar power and rainwater usage. The bid also highlighted unity, echoing the achievements of another recent sporting event, the 2002 World Cup co-hosted with Korea. It was a landmark event, pushing Japan toward greater regional cooperation and helping address historic differences while increasing self-confidence among Japanese. Alex Murray, Senior Consultant, Interbrand Tokyo
The 1988 Seoul Olympics and 2002 World Cup hold a special place in the hearts of Koreans. The 1988 Olympics proved to the world that Korea was ready for the global stage and set the stage for the international expansion of several Korean conglomerates. In 2002, Korea surprised the world by reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup, reminding the Korean people that when we work together, nothing is impossible. These two mega events served as a signal for social change: The Korean people and corporations were now ready to reach out to people in need. The annual donations collected by the Community Chest of Korea (Korea's largest charity group) increased from $60 million in 2001 to $340 million in 2010. The Hyundai brand, a World Cup sponsor, has also built a strong record for corporate citizenship. Their "Moving the World Together" campaign addresses a wide range of social issues, such as traffic safety, access to education, cancer, and poverty. Michael Kim, Consultant, Interbrand Seoul
London 2012 Olympic organizers put corporate citizenship on the agenda long before any journalist, environmental group, or blogger. Sustainability has been a watchword from day one, both for its potential to satisfy the rising demands of a global constituency and to provide the opportunity for brands to express themselves more holistically. While many sponsors have yet to take advantage, Coca-Cola has responded with an ambitious sustainability agenda. The company is minimizing waste in its products and maximizing recycling to help organizers achieve their goal of a zero-waste games. Coke has also pledged to be carbon neutral in its Olympic activities and to actively promote health and wellness throughout. They're doing something right—while some sponsors have so far struggled to make inroads into public consciousness, Coca-Cola is the most recognized Olympic sponsor according to a recent Marketing Week survey.

Digging up scandalous nuns' past
12:00pm Tuesday 13th November 2012 in News By Andrew Ffrench, Reporter covering Didcot and Wallingford. Call me on 01865 425425

UNCOVERING the history behind supposedly scandalous nuns has helped fuel interest in archaeology projects in Oxford.
About 500 volunteers from Archeox, the Archaeology of East Oxford Community Project, have been excavating a medieval nunnery at Minchery Farm Paddock, between Blackbird Leys and Littlemore.
The five-week dig finished on Friday when Oxford University Vice Chancellor Prof Andrew Hamilton paid a visit to see some of the historic finds.
Project director Dr David Griffiths, of Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education, said the area explored was part of the site occupied by Littlemore Priory, a nunnery established in around AD1110.
It was closed down by Cardinal Wolsey in 1525 after accusations were made that the nuns were involved in scandalous practices, including sharing beds.
Dr Griffiths said: "Several of the nuns also had illegitimate children."
Part of the nunnery buildings, dating back to the 1400s, later became a farmhouse and still stand as the Priory Pub, near Oxford United's Kassam Stadium.
The 47-year-old from Headington said the wider £500,000 scheme, backed by the university and the Heritage Lottery Fund, was launched in 2010 and could run until 2014.
He said: "Community archaeology is something fairly new but it has really taken off in East Oxford and we now have hundreds of people who are developing the skills and abilities to carry out the research themselves.
"We have been tackling part of the city which has been overlooked in archaeological and historical terms, and eventually there will be an exhibition to display the finds – I would love to see a museum in East Oxford one day."
He said all the finds would be analysed to reveal more about the diet and lifestyle of the people who have lived there over the centuries.
He said: "Our excavations have revealed stone walls, floors and hearths, which show that the priory buildings were once much more extensive, and included domestic, kitchen and workshop areas.
"We have also found evidence of peat layers, which tell the story of the landscape over a much longer timescale.
"Finds dating to the period of the nunnery include a large amount of medieval pottery, and decorated glazed floor-tiles showing heraldic designs such as birds and griffins. Roman pottery suggests that the site was in use in earlier times.
"Perhaps the most exciting and surprising finds have been a small group of prehistoric worked flints, including a beautiful Bronze Age arrowhead dating to around 4,000 years ago."

I am having a tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation. I am wondering if I will be able to go swimming in the ocean/snorkeling by 6 weeks post op. We are taking a trip to the Camen Islands and I am concerned I won't be up to all the fun activiites that the ocean brings.
Can I Go Swimming in the Ocean, After a Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift/augmentaion?
Doctor Answers (13)
Ocean swimming 6 weeks post op TT and breast aug surgery
Dear Caligirl,
Please, please see your PS right before you leave! Sea water contains some of the most dangerous bacteria out there (including the so called 'flesh eating bacteria'). Make sure there isn't any type of scab, suture or opening left in your incisions. If there is, stay away from any type of pool, bath or sea water.
Kind regards,
Dr. H
Web reference: http://www.horndeski.com/Default.aspx
6 weeks is probably enough time, but may be cutting it a bit close!
Assuming everything heals perfectly and you resume activity without problem, 6 weeks is the bare minimum for vigorous swimming or ocean waves buffeting your barely-healed body.
If you have any delayed healing (common with breast lifts plus implants), or similar problems with the belly button, your surgeon may ask you to hold off on swimming in the ocean or pool, and the same goes for hot tubs or bathtubs.
Just so you know, this is what I would tell my own patients in this situation. Ask your surgeon and honestly consider if you would enjoy your vacation more without muscle discomfort and tightness, scars that require absolute sun avoidance to prevent them from turning dark, and worry. If so, maybe waiting until you return is a better idea.
I know, that sexy new body will look great in a swimsuit, especially if friends or others will be around to ogle the new you, but is risking the result worth it? Ask your surgeon! Best wishes and happy vacation!

Swimming after surgery
Hello Caligirl. Everybody heals differently, but generally speaking I advise my patients to wait at least 4 weeks after surgery before swimming, especially in the ocean. If you haven't completely healed by 4 weeks, then of course it's best to wait longer. Good luck!
Swimming After A Tummy Tuck & Breast Augmentation
I advise my patients to wait at least 4-6 weeks after this procedure so that you are fully healed as this will require maximal wound healing.
Activities after tummy tuck aug
In addition to the comments by my colleagues, you should consider that in addition to swimming in the ocean and pool, beach activities involve a lot of sun exposure. You will be more sensitive to the sun in the areas that have had surgery and I recommend to my patients that they stay out of the sun as much as possible for several months after surgery. You might want to postpone your surgery until after you return from what sounds like a wonderful vacation.
Mommy makeover and getting in the ocean
Thanks for the question. I generally allow my patients to get in the ocean at the six week mark as long as all of their incisions have healed. Please be advised though if you have an open wound or slow healing after surgery, I would not let you and also your endurance level may still be lower than the activities you have planned. Make sure you see your plastic surgeon right before your trip to check on you.
Swimming in the Ocean after Tummy Tuck and Breast Surgery?
Your plastic surgeon will guide you in regards to returning to activities after your surgery. Keep in mind, that even after 6 weeks out of tummy tuck and breast surgery, you will not be 100%. Even if your incisions have healed completely, you will need to be extremely careful given that your strength will not be fully returned and that you will likely continue to have occasional discomfort/spasm.
Remember SAFETY FIRST.
Best wishes.

Swimming at the beach 6 weeks after surgery.
Thank you for your question. As long as there are no open wounds, I am comfortable with my patients swimming at the beach 6 weeks after surgery.
All scars should be covered with waterproof sunblock. Discuss this and all other details with your plastic surgeon.
I hope this helps.
Tummy tuck and swimming
Hi, assuming everything is healing well without any complications, 6 weeks after a tummy tuck is plenty before you can swim in the ocean, unless you are considering competitive swimming. have your surgeon examine you before you leave to make sure you are complication free at that time.

More than 250 current CFL players participated in the third annual CFL on TSN Player Poll this fall, giving their opinions in a variety of football categories. The surveyed players were asked to name one player for each of the 10 questions in the poll with topics ranging from most under-rated player to biggest trash-talker.
There are a few repeat winners from last year's poll but there are also plenty of new faces.
The largest margin of victory in this year's poll was in the Biggest Threat To Score category, where Hamilton's Chris Williams won convincingly with 68 percent of the vote.
The most wide-open vote in the poll was for most underrated player as Winnipeg's Chad Simpson won the category with 7.9 per cent of the total vote.
The East Division-leading Montreal Alouettes led the way in the poll with three category winners. Winnipeg and Hamilton had two winners each while the Eskimos were the only team shut out.

By DARRYL MAXIE / firstname.lastname@example.com
Former Buford quarterback Justin Roper, who last week announced his decision to transfer from Oregon, says he wants to play closer to home and is willing to play in the Football Championship Subdivision. Of course, anybody who knows a thing about American geography realizes closer to home from Oregon could mean just about anyplace east of the Pacific Time Zone.
Roper said he doesn't think larger schools will want to give him two years of scholarship for only one year of eligibility, but if he transfers to what used to be known as Division I-AA, he wouldn't have to sit out one of his last two years of eligibility.
"I'm open to anything," Roper told the Oregonian.
He doesn't know where "anything" might lead, but wants it to be someplace where he can start. Once Jeremiah Masoli beat Roper for Oregon's starting job in the spring, Roper talked with his family and decided the time was right to move on. Even though Oregon has had to dig deep into its bag of QBs because of injuries the past two seasons, Roper didn't want to gamble whatever playing time he's going to get on whether Masoli gets hurt or not.
Still, he doesn't know where the next snap he takes will come from. If Roper looked at, say, Georgia State — just to pull a nearby FCS school out of a hat — he could give the Panthers an experienced college quarterback from their first snap, while guys like Drew Little from Henry County and Kelton Hill from Lithia Springs mature.
"It may not be up to me," Roper said. "It might be who wants me."
For more of what Roper's thinking, take a look at this blog for The Oregonian.

Darryl – I don't know anything about this young man. However, if he was actually good enough to get a D-1 scholarship to a school in a major conference like the Pac 10, he must be pretty good. As a fan of Georgia Southern and its rich football tradition, I would have thought that would be a possibility. Your mentioning Georgia State could be perceived as an attempt to favor that school over other schools (such as Georgia Southern or Furman or Wofford, etc.). Maybe I'm being too picky, but it would seem more responsible (and certainly less biased) to not mention any one school when writing about this situation.

Dawg Tired,
Roper has been a very good quarterback. However, he is not a running quarterback as is the preferred type at Oregon with the Spread option they run. Don't think that because he is transferring that he isn't good. He has a Sun Bowl win under his belt. He is very accurate and has a strong arm. The kid is 6′ 6″ tall and very mobile. He has NFL potential and that is why he is transferring. He won't get a chance to start at Oregon and he needs that experience to up his draft stock. Any FCS school that picks up Roper is in for a couple great seasons, as long as there is someone to catch the ball.
Just go to Youtube and lookup the videos on the 2007 Sun Bowl and you'll get some footage of Roper in action. Remember, that was 2007.

Dawg Tired
I think the suggestion of Georgia State was made because they don't have any QBs who have taken any snap in college because they are building a new team and consequently Roper could be a good fit. It has nothing to do with a preference of Georgia Southern or Georgia State. I am sure he could do well at either school.

Maybe he could go back and play at Buford… I'm sure they have others that aren't eligible.

Come down to Georgia Southern. You would be guarenteed to start over Lee, especially since coach hatcher thought henton was better last year. He's gone now so the door is wide open. Southern needs you!
May 29th, 2009
2:01 pm
Southern needs a lot and it is only getting worse with the way Georgia State. It would not suprise me at all to have him show up downtown and be playing in the Georgia Dome on Saturdays, not in a cow pasture.
Since Paul Johnson left, how have things been down in Statesboro. Yeah, didn't think so. How about after firing Mike Sewak and grabbing former Georgia DC Brian Van Gorder. Nope, that didn't work either.

If Roper has potential to play on Sundays, then he would have stayed put at Oregon. Several Pac-10 back-up QB's have made NFL rosters. The fact is, though, that Roper was pretty fragile emotionally and psychologically, and just doesn't have what it takes to play in a conference like the Pac-10. Oregon took a gamble on him and lost, plain and simple. They have a record of that. Roper will likely finish up his two remaining years of eligibility at Georgia School of Refrigerator Repair, and end up being just another shoulda-woulda-coulda from the south.
May 29th, 2009
3:27 pm
Oregon fan here. People here are sorry that Roper left, and wish he'd stay. He knew the playbook, and was always one of the first to congratulate a teammate from the sidelines. Excellent arm, deceptive speed for someone so lanky. Wasn't going to beat out Masoli at QB or, next year, Thomas. Showed maturity and poise during interviews. Is an architecture major, so may want to continue in an architecture program. Whether he will make the NFL I couldn't say, but he wants playing time. Not sure why "Rick" is hating on him. "Fragile" is not the word I'd use to describe him at all. Well-balanced. His big win in the 2007 Sun Bowl ( 4 TD passes, tied the bowl record) — after beginning the year as 5th string — is a genuine Oregon legend. Sorry he's gone.
May 29th, 2009
3:44 pm
Joel: Not hating on him, but I do think that he got more credit for that 2007 Sun Bowl game than he deserved. He had a monster line blocking for him that year, and some receivers that made him look really good. Oregon had a lot of talent spread throughout the roster in 2007.
My main point was this: If he's so good, why is he shying away from a back-up QB job in the Pac-10? Have you seen Lyle Moeveo or Sean Canfield at Oregon State afraid to back each other up? Roper would have had a better shot at the NFL by staying in Eugene than by going to a Div. 2 school.
May 29th, 2009
3:55 pm
I agree that Roper should have stayed, the Ducks record of needing backups to come in and perform speak for itself.
But I don't know how an "emotionally fragile" person comes in for an injured QB during the Civil War and does everything he can to pull out a win to watch the coaches blow it. Or how that same fragile person has a first start in a bowl game and blows out a higher ranked team with a great performance.
Roper was recruited under a different offensive coordinator and scheme. Any player that is recruited is a gamble. Roper won a bowl game and was a contributor last year before being injured. He is also a very bright and talented guy. Take a look at his bio and grades, the guy has skills beyond football.
I wish him the best but still think he should have stayed a Duck.
May 29th, 2009
4:09 pm
Another Duck here. I have to agree that Roper was a big loss for the Ducks. He is a solid QB and would start on most PAC-10 teams, USC excluded. Has the size and a great arm.
Leaving Oregon was the result of him having an excellent spring, and with the fact the Costa is ahead of his rehab schedule (and a favorite of Coach Keely), Roper was looking at coming out of fall practice as the #3 QB on the roster. And next year would only be worse, as Thomas will be in the mix.
Some team is going to end up with a great QB!
I wish him the best!
May 29th, 2009
4:50 pm
Another Oregon fan chiming in here. Justin provided valuable depth at QB, but let's not kid ourselves here; Justin does not appear to be an NFL caliber player. We loved him, his effort, and his team spirit. But I disagree with his decision to leave. Homesick or not, he will get more exposure as a Duck backup than in most D1AA schools. Besides, there's no guarantee that he won't end up 2nd string wherever he ends up anyway.
As for his Sun Bowl performance, he made the plays when they were there to be had. But, it was Jonathan Stewart and the 400 yards plus rushing of the Ducks that destroyed USF. Having said that, Justin was always prepared when he was called on and without him, we would definitely have a few less wins.
May 29th, 2009
7:41 pm
Saying that Stewart won the Sun Bowl is stretching it. 4 TD passes… I don't think Stewart threw those balls. Besides, that was Roper's first year playing. He has another year under his belt now and he is that much better. He has two more years to play and he'll get even better. Remember how bad Dixon was in 2006, his junior year? His senior year he was on his way to the Heisman before he blew out his knee. For Roper, staying a backup at Oregon wasn't going to get him any playing time or exposure. As Michael said, Costa would have had a good chance of being #2 because he beat out Roper the year before after knee surgery so there is no reason he wouldn't have done it again. The coaches were honest with him and I believe they told him he is a good quarterback and if he really wants to go to the NFL, then he should look elsewhere.
Roper did what was best for his chances to make it to the NFL. Playing as a backup in a spread option offense isn't going to get him drafted. He needs time in a more traditional offense and he'll make it.
May 30th, 2009
11:06 am
Roper would be the equivalent of a 5+ star high school qb at this point, he was solid just on the wrong team for him. He might not make it to the nfl but the odds are against everybody anyway.. what he can do is make a winner of a team thats was marginal last year. I just hope things work out for him and that he gets to show his true potential. As far as I'm concerned the Ducks did make the right decision.
June 1st, 2009
10:48 am
Roper quit period. He worked his rear off and didn't win the starting job in spring practice. He talked with the new coach and was undoubtedly told that he would be the definitive backup…and if you've seen the guy play he's definitely put out more effort than should be expected from a backup. Now this is a kid that has dealt primarily with success in high school ball and hasn't lost as a starter. The first real defeat – if you can call being #2 for a team that regularly finishes in the top 25 (#10 last year) a defeat – results in his decision to pack it up and jump ship. Emotionally fragile? Seems spot on Rick. Roper also had an injury last year and though he was healthy enough to get through Oregon's spring practice his knee remains a question mark. Physically fragile? Mabye.
June 1st, 2009
1:41 pm
Justin Roper should be given a chance at a major program. i am a huge duck fan and watched him play great in every opportunity he was given. he has decent arm strength, a very nice touch on the balls he throws, is accurate and makes good decision. he is deceptively fast for a 6′6″ pocket passer, performing well in our read-option offense.Maybe the best part of it all is the way he handled losing his starting job. At least 2 or three times he was taken off the field after performing well, as a back up or starter, and handled it with class. he came to practice to get better and help get his team get better with out ever complaining or being a distraction. I would like to wish Justin the best in the future, i think whatever school gets him will be lucky.
June 2nd, 2009

Wow, a lot of credit going to a QB who played great in one game. He has potential, but he only used it for one game at Oregon. He obviously had chances to start with all the QB injuries at Oregon. He didn't take advantage of those opportunities. Outside of the Sun Bowl, he wasn't a deciding factor in any of Oregon's games.
It's not as big of a loss as people think. He isn't a spread offense QB, and should have never been signed. That being said, this opens up more room for QBs that actually fit the offense.
I'm not missing Roper.
GL to him though.

Roper is not NFL material. He is accurate and has shown improved decision making, which wasn't all that bad to begin with as a young QB when he was asked to step in for Dixon. He contributed greatly to that Sun Bowl win. However he doesn't have the arm strength to play in the NFL. And he doesn't have the speed or agility to make the defenses worry about him keeping the ball on the read option. He has enough to be serviceable, but will never possess the ability to break the long play like Masoli, and in the end that's why he wouldn't get the starting nod. But I think he can do great in a spread passing attack like Texas Tech or a pro style offense. That leads me to one conclusion: he knows he isn't going to make the NFL, and since he's not going to be able to do so, he wants to play as much as he can while in college. I can't say I blame him. I'll be the first person to harp on these 4 star running backs who sign with USC so that they can sit on the bench for four years only to split carries in their fifth. So how can I blame a guy who just wants to get as much playing time as possible? I don't, and I wish him the best. Wherever he ends up, that team is getting a quality player and won't be disappointed.

Another Duck fan here. JUSTIN ROPER will be a good QB in D1-AA. He was a good backup at Oregon, but please do not kid yourself to think he was a legit starter. I've heard other Duck fans chime in here and say he would be a starter in all other Pac-10 schools w/exception being USC. Ok, seriously? Look at rosters across the Pac-10 and Roper maybe starts at probably Washington St, Arizona St, and maybe just maybe at Arizona and UCLA.
He was a great teammate, but not a leader in the locker room. He was obviously not the prototype QB for Kelly's offense. I'm not knocking the kid, he's a solid student athlete that just needs to be at a different school w/the right system. He certainly could be a competent D1 QB, or a D1-AA for that matter.
Oregon's incumbent starter is a Pre-Season Pac10 1st team by most pre-season publications (means nothing I know) and Thomas was a Parade All-American out of Texas who's Dennis Dixon's clone but stronger and not as lengthy. Unfortunately for Roper he was not going to see much playing time. Oh, and Costa the 3rd stringer would have been the starter last year if it were not for his bad knee.
All Oregon fans wish Roper the best. I hope we can continue guys in the south, like Georgia the chance to come out west to the Pacific Northwest and experience Pac-10 football and the rabid nature of Oregon Football. SEC football is special, not comparing our product to that of Florida, Georgia, or the LSUs of the world but playing football in Eugene is a special thing.

illuminationsPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
The illuminations festival was featured in today's Weekend section of the Wall Street Journal. A six-week festival of music, dance, drama and film on the Outer Banks, illuminations has it all — arts, pristine beaches, seafood, and occasional hordes of mosquitoes. I'm the Music Program Director, so I'll be heading out there in ten days with some further reports.

In today's AGM, we backed the proposal of VE's board for individual registration for U18s and Adults who are regularly competing in Volleyball England competitions and affiliated club training. This motion, although achieving a majority of the represented clubs, failed to achieve the 75% necessary majority to approve the change. On the face of it, looking at VE's accounts, in the 2014 accounts 68% of income came from Sport England. In 2013, it was 56%. Our reliance as a community on the political whims of Sport England is actually increasing. The costs of membership and competition services we receive are not met by the fees we pay. This is far from a healthy situation for a National Governing Body to be in, a change of government or a change of political policy could destroy the Governing Body completely. Effectively, our sport is funded at an ever increasing rate by political whim.
On the other side of this issue, our 2013-2017 Whole Sport Plan is the document from which the 68% funding comes from. In this period, it requires a significant increase in participation at grass roots. We have no method to measure grass roots Volleyball. In the AGM, figures of around 20% of current participants are registered through one of the existing schemes (VEBT, NVL or SVGP) were given. However, these figures are an unknown. If you ever go to a funder and ask them to provide you with money, they ask you how many customers you've got and what you sell to them. As a community, on the national level, we genuinely have no idea. I know, from when we approach sponsors at a local level, they want to know our market. If we can't tell them who or what or market is, they don't want to know. The same is true on a national level.
Several suggestions were made in respect of collecting data through Regional or County Associations. We do not consider this to be a practical solution. Our Regional and County Associations are volunteer-led too, and despite what was said in the AGM, they have no records of our New Forest participants other than those who are involved with those competitions.
We also fully support the concept of individual registration, whether a fee be levied or not, for every participant. The concept of a player license demonstrates (even a physical card) that the player belongs to the wider community, the community we all belong to and has been disjointed. Even a simple id card bears that sense of ownership. Comments were made at today's AGM that suggests the systems and enforcement aren't ready (although from our professional lives we are aware that systems are only really tested when they are used) can be overcome by this. In local and regional leagues, this overcomes the difficulties involved – players are either registered & entitled to play, or they are not. In summary, we believe that we will not be in a position to demonstrate in 2017 the amazing things that clubs have achieved up and down the country in the investment zones, nor will we be able to have a Governing Body that is in a position to put more of its efforts into membership services.
As a result, we believe that it is now appropriate to return to an EGM in the autumn of this year, with a view to implementing individual registration for the entire community at any age or skill level from 2015/2016. Beyond this, we believe this puts us as significant risk of failing to have the necessary data to demonstrate our compliance with the 2017 targets. Let's check the systems do work, and have a year at least to work out the kinks.

Peruvian Chicken Chili with Peanuts Recipe
When we tested this recipe in the CHOW Test Kitchen, we had low expectations because the ingredients seemed like such a bizarre combination. But it turned out to be a harmonious, delicious dish. Start by browning ground chicken, then add jalapeños, cumin, and allspice. Toss in some roasted peanuts, Parmesan cheese, chicken broth, and evaporated milk, then let it all simmer until the flavors meld. This creamy, protein-packed chili is served topped with briny olives and hard-boiled eggs, and is a hearty one-pot meal when paired with some crusty bread.
Game plan: If you want to tone down the heat in this recipe, remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeños.
The chili can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated in a container with a tightfitting lid.
This dish was featured as part of our chili recipe slideshow.
For the chili:
- 1/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 pounds ground chicken (dark meat or a mixture of dark and white meat)
- 2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
- 5 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium jalapeños, stemmed and minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups roasted, salted peanuts (about 12 ounces), coarsely chopped
- 1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
For serving:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, cut into wedges
- 1 cup coarsely chopped pitted black olives
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 9 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions, garlic, jalapeños, cumin, and allspice, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 6 minutes.
- Add the peanuts, stock or broth, milk, and cheese, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a tightfitting lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and the flavors have melded, about 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve topped with the eggs and olives.

- Wish it weren't closinghoustonfoodieVIPDined on 9/30/2014Too good for our ah critics, they fail to appreciate the best places in this citySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We enjoyed our lunch at SorrelOpenTableDinerVIPDined on 9/28/2014We enjoyed our lunch at Sorrel. Service was friendly. Soup was excellent as was the Red Snapper. It's a nice place to sit outside, when the weather is nice. I know it's closing soon, so I am glad we had another chance to have a meal here.Special Features:
- Excellent concept and great serviceHTownFoodieDined on 9/28/2014I really loved the farm-to-table concept that this restaurant applies and I also really loved that they are a scratch kitchen. The service was attentive and polite. The food was good. Ambience was great, location was great, and there was more than sufficient parking the time I went. The only thing I would ask to be changed is that they offer fresh-squeezed orange juice. I felt it was a bit odd for a farm-to-table concept restaurant not to have fresh-squeezed orange juice, particularly for brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rotating menu, interesting foodlecraig77Dined on 9/27/2014The constantly changing menu makes for an interesting experience. Food was very fresh and carefully prepared. Wonderful experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Neighborhood RestaurantTexasGirlVIPDined on 9/26/2014We have been to Sorrel many times and will continue to return. Enjoy the food, and service is usually very good. On this visit we had to send one of our entrees back, but the issue was quickly corrected. Service was a little less attentive than usual, but still good.Special Features:
- Top of Their GamerusslDined on 9/26/2014Sorrel's is at the top of their game. The dynamic duo chefs are producing creative, fresh and succulent dishes from appetizers, entrees and deserts. The layered tastes in each dish are a foodies delight. My wife and I have frequented Sorrel's for the last two years and are soon to host 8 friends to a food and wine pairing dinner. The owner Ray and manager Ernesto, are consummate hosts. The menu keeps changing to reflect daily purchases from farms and the Gulf. If you see the fig cheese cake on the menu, order two. One to eat in the moment and the other to take home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic mealtkchefDined on 9/21/2014The kitchen SO knows what it's doing at this place. We had the roasted goat risotto for an appetizer. It was delicious because--of all things--the great acid balance achieved in the dish. The main courses were even more impressive--the blackening seasoning on the (perfectly cooked) snapper and the dehydrated/grilled beets with acorn squash purée that accompanied the petit filet were amazing. My boyfriend generally hates both bread pudding and anything with sour cream in it, so it's a tribute to the kitchen that every bite of the bread pudding with banana-sour cream ice cream was devoured (the spicy crumb garnish that accompanies it makes the dish). Terrific wine list--we drank a Malbec from the Maule region of Chile. What a great evening!Special Features:
- Good enough, but closing soonBurgerManVIPDined on 9/20/2014My wife and I dined at Sorrel earlier this summer and had a great time with friends. The ambiance is very nice, and the noise level is moderate (OK for conversations). I needed to try their pastrami-topped burger, so we went back for another visit. My wife's vegetarian noodle dish was very heavily salted, even after asking for low-salt/low-oil. The burger was good, but I know Houston chef Ziggy Gruber has purchased this space for his new Dubrow's restaurant next year, so I won't fall in love with it. Overall a nice experience, and looking forward to Dubrow's in 2015!Special Features:
- Very Yummy!!OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 9/17/2014We started with the fried zucchini flowers-delicious! Then the burger-the best burger I've ever had! I'm dreaming of going backSpecial Features:
- Great Service, Inspired MenuJenHeartsHoustonVIPDined on 9/12/2014The two chefs at Sorrel show their creative side with the farm to market inspired menu and the results are delicious. The service was excellent, among the best I've experienced in a while. I also liked the live videos from the kitchen. You know you have to keep a super clean kitchen if it is constantly shown to your guests.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food but loudhoustonfoodieVIPDined on 9/7/2014When big parties are present, noise level can be deafening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SHJACKVIPDined on 9/2/2014BEEN MANY TIMES. LOVE THE RESTAURANT, SERVICE. FOOD IS EXCELLENT. WOULD RECOMMEND.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very bad experience - unfortunatelyTOG1Dined on 8/31/2014This was not my first time at Sorrel, but unfortunately this experience was a very bad one, so much so that the manager comped our meal. The waiter had no idea what was on the menu, to start. When I asked if he could hold the cumin on the filet mignon, he answered that the "chef would not make any changes to the menu because it was restaurant week". Mind you, I was ordering from the regular menu... I think the waiter did not know what cumin was. Then they "ran out" of filet mignon before the waiter could put the order in (he waited until after appetizers). He suggested a pork chop which came raw... bottom line, not a great experience... Previous experiences had been very good though. Don't think I will be going back unfortunately.
- Disappointed for the second timeEatoutalotDined on 8/31/2014I last went to Sorrell about 2 years ago. It was the only time I ever sent a meal back and I eat out frequently. My potatoes croquettes were frozen solid when I tried to eat them. But forgive and forget, and so I returned this weekend. My server was nice and friendly but went AWOL mid-meal and so getting attention was difficult. But what was so awful was my meal. I ordered the pork loin. Basically 3 pieces of off-white meat came covering some off-white mashed potato. My mother is an awful cook but even she would have apologized.
- Great food; high noise levelOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014Very enjoyable dinner well presented but no place for conversationSpecial Features:
- Stay away!KatyCoupleDined on 8/29/2014Since Sorren has parted ways with Ray the restaurant has become a huge disappointment! Wait staff was wonderful but food was a huge disappointment. We left without eating!
- Mom's Night OutPhantomFoodieVIPDined on 8/28/2014Leaving the Med Center after an appointment, I was looking on Open Table for a place close by for an early dinner. i had previously only visited Sorrel for Lunch and Brunch. Ariel, our server was more than attentive and Ernesto, the GM and every staff member we encountered treated me and my 85 year old Mother as honored guests. The food was unusual for her tastes but because she felt at home she adventured and ordered the duck flatbread to compliment a more familiar "gumbo." I was able to add chicken to my hearty salad and we shared dessert. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/24/2014We had a wonderful time again. This place just feels so comfortable and yet so elegant. And the food is always excellent. Never disappointed.Special Features:
- met here 2years agoMaNaraDined on 8/23/2014My partner and I met at this spot 2years ago the night we dined; and wanted to return for dinner, so we sat at the bar this time. It was perfect. Good food. Attentive bartender. Romantic atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodChrissyDined on 8/23/2014Went for dinner with my husband, it is very pricy but the food was very good and service was also good. It's very loud, and the ambience - well, it's more like a better cafeteria look with white table cloth. But again, the food was yummy and we would go back - with clients so the company can pay :)Special Features:
- Love love love this place!JJRJVIPDined on 8/23/2014It seems like every time we go to Sorrel, the experience is even better than the last. They have gotten quite pricey, but every once in a while, it's well worth the splurge.Special Features:
- Great service!DforDragonflyDined on 8/22/2014The server recommended THE BEST red wine and even told us about its origin and flavor. The food was great, and it was a great HRW deal. I secretly wanted to try all of the desserts.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/17/2014Excellent menu with quite a variety of choices. I was especially impressed with various gluten-free offerings. One drawback was that some food arrived cold to our table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- okay but not excellentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/14/2014As my department's event planner, I'm always on the lookout for new experiences. We have a vegetarian and a Gluten-Free in our mix, so I thought Sorrel would be a great place for us. The service left quite a bit to be desired as it took a long time to get drink refills and orders taken. Most of us ordered from the HRW menu and received nicely sized portions. One of us, however, ordered from the regular menu and was disappointed in the serving size. Overall, it was nice and different, but I doubt I would return. It is very trendy.Special Features:
- Wonderful food and servicehoustonfoodieVIPDined on 8/13/2014Great food, just a little loud when private parties get going.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- $0.99 MimosasramenkingDined on 8/10/2014My friends and I had a great great brunch here during Houston Restaurant Weeks. The food was delicious and the $0.99 mimosas was a pleasant surprise. The only critique I have is that the decor of the restaurant doesn't fit the quality of food, service, and food prices. I would expect at least table cloths.Special Features:
- Great food and drinks, too loudKaylaLynnDined on 8/9/2014This place has some of the best farm to table dishes I've tried, and the service was excellent. The drinks we ordered were made very well. My only complaint is the noise level. We had to ask our server to repeat himself several times. But I guess that comes with an open kitchen concept.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Restaurant Weeks menuFoodieCrewDined on 8/8/2014Went here for Restaurant Week on Friday with my husband and daughter. We all had the fixed menu, all trying different things. It was all great. We plan to get back before the end of August to have what the others had as it was all so good. Service was excellent; attentive but not cloying and with a sense of fun and humor. Highly recommended!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rush2eatDined on 8/7/2014The service was good but had more expectations of the food. Maybe since we had the HRW menu the food wasn't exceptional! The tomato soup was great.Cocktails were quite strong and so some of us couldn't finish them. Would like to go back to try either their lunch or brunch menus.Special Features:
- Hits and MisseslondonlandDined on 8/1/2014Nice place. Excellent service. The whole bronzino was superb. The vegetable rissotto was poor - mushy, rather tasteless, and then finished off with a pouring of spicey red sauce - 2 of us had this, and it was VERY disappointing.Special Features:
- always a treat to dine here!cackieVIPDined on 7/30/2014no matter what we get, it is fabulous! My children love their French fries!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Would not recommendOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/24/2014I have eaten here before and had no issues but this last time the waiter had no idea what the food was and couldn't explain (the very few) menu items. His service was very slow. I had lamb chops and they came out grossly undercooked. Had to send them back while my husbands food got cold. His duck was tough and had multiple bites of grizzle. Had it been one thing, I wouldn't have even done a review. But both meals and the service were not worth the prices. Won't go back. Better places to spend that kind of money.
- YummyCanadiansnowmanDined on 7/24/2014Great food - awesome food A great place to celebrateSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just okpkwhouVIPDined on 7/24/2014I had high hopes, but found that of the menus online, most of the things on the current menu were nothing I had viewed previously. The service was outstanding and very attentive for a busy lunch hour, but the food was overall disappointing.Special Features:
- Just an OK PlaceDaveSDined on 7/19/2014I ate there with my significant other on Saturday July 19th. I found the food so-so for the price and the wine list was pricey. Service was not very attentive. There are many bistro's like this in town that are better. Also didn't like that I had to valet park when they have a large parking lot.
- We love it!Miaknowsbest1Dined on 7/18/2014Great Restaurant and not far from where we live! I'm a Vegan and they always do something special for my particular needs and the food is delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/18/2014They spilt a whole glass of wine all over my friend and no one ever apologized or offered to take something off the ticket.
- Group lunchWorkingLunchVIPDined on 7/17/2014All was delish as always. Great with a group. Love the "Power Lunch" option for three courses for all!Special Features:
- Just OKFoodieVIPDined on 7/16/2014This is a neighborhood restaurant that has had to send and give coupons for dinner. We have been going to this restaurant for a few years but have to say the dishes are not very inspired and sometimes just plain bland as was my pork loin and my wife's fish.
- Never had a bad mealSusieDined on 7/16/2014I have eaten brunch, lunch, and dinner here, and each meal has been excellent. This time I had lunch--a delicious daily salad with an added piece of grilled salmon. You can't go wrong having a meal at Sorrel!Special Features:
