A word from Stephi's On Tremont
On Newbury Street it's a legend. Now it's time for Stephanie's to stake its claim in the South End. Stephi's on Tremont is set to open this winter, in the coveted former home of The Garden of Eden on Tremont at Union Park. This second Steph's will feature many of the same elements that have made the Back Bay location a landmark: Floor-to-ceiling windows, a substantial patio and, of course, prime corner real estate will make for outstanding people watching in one of the city's most fabulous neighborhoods. Always a favorite for its comfortable, somewhat residential décor and service, Stephanie's is a go-to for lunch, brunch and dinner…in the summer and the winter…for an afternoon drink or a blow-out celebration. A sophisticated comfort menu inspired by the original (and even including some of the classics) will be served in the bar & lounge, the dining room and a private dining room for special events. Stephanie's feels like home, but better. Now come home to the South End!Continued

- Consistantly ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/28/2014My wife and I have been to Stephi's many times for lunch, the food and service are consistently good, never disapointed.Special Features:
- Celebratory DinnerCWesslerDined on 9/19/2014I had never been to Stephi's on Tremont before -- booked a reservation to celebrate my boyfriend's promotion at work based on yelp reviews + the menu. We went on a Friday night at 7pm. We were greeted with fabulous service.. the drinks were very good -- recommend the patio painkiller! We both ended up ordering the steak. DELICIOUS. I was so pleased with how the night turned out and our waitress was great! Will definitely return and recommend to others! :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow and Preoccupied ServerCBCBDined on 9/13/2014We chose Stephi's on Tremont because it was close to the Boston Center of the Arts and had a varied and "healthy" menu, and it was great in both those respects. Unfortunately, while our dinner was delicious, the service was not comparable. Although the restaurant was not crowded, our server was slow to show up at our table, never told us about the evening's specials and didn't refill up our water glasses until we asked. While not a show stopper, this was disappointing...I would recommend this to a friend.
- A tad priceyStarchildVIPDined on 9/1/2014I went with someone for breakfast this past Sunday... For an omelet, potatoes, one drink, and another omelet and potatoes and OJ, $65. I think for the price I would have gone somewhere else... It didn't taste that great, portions were ok, but it was just bland... I think this place is known for it's night life instead of breakfast.
- I'll take Cod for the win Alex!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014So glad you keep the Cod dish on the menu! 5 years running? Yum! My only thought is the amount of the chowder as the base has decreased. It makes the dish so be generous. You get a spoon with the dish but there was barely enough to push into a spoon. Matthew, our server, was fantastic! We camped out at that table for a 3 hour dinner and he was consistently friendly and attentive through out. Huge asset to the restaurant. I like a server that has some personality and wit!Special Features:
- MaraDined on 8/26/2014kitchen took a very long time and made a mistake on the order which had to be sent backSpecial Features:
- Very AccomedatingYummmDined on 8/21/2014Kind waitstaff didn't mind that we were late for our reservation, made me a great drink while waiting for my date, & didn't mind giving me a half portion of their famous meatloaf!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth the valueOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/18/2014I used to love this place and be a frequest customer (loved the tuna tartare). Over the last few months the food quality has decreased significantly (the last tuna tartare that I got the tuna tasted like it was frozen and had a lot of wather built in...). In otherwords, the food quality and service have decreased, and the portion sizes got smaller (had the scolops recently as a dinner plate and it looked like an aptz) and the prices have increased (some items ~ 20%). Will not be going back there any time soon. Too many other good places in the area to settle for mediocre food quality.Special Features:
- Great for brunch!Kenmore534VIPDined on 8/16/2014Perfect place for brunch, has outdoor seating as well.Special Features:
- Good not greatemelDined on 8/3/2014Nice looking restaurant, we were seated indoors as no outside tables were available. Service was pleasant, good except waiter brought us the check before asking about coffee or dessert. Were they trying to tell us something? Burger was very good, fries OK,. My wife's crab cake was acceptable but not otherwise remarkable.Roasted potatoes were cold. Bloody Marys very good, of course, but best ever might be an overstatement. Dessert was good, presented nicely, but the least chocolate fudgy chocolate fudge dessert I have seen. Overall, would go back again and explore menu further.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/2/2014We went for the bloody marys, but had delicious meals as well. My omelet was divine, but I wish I had known that it came with potatoes so that I didn't pay another $2 for the (albeit, delicious) toast. My friends' meals looked great (they both had the crab cake benedict). And, of course, the bloody marys were amazing. The checklist is a brilliant idea, but they do take a while to make, so you need to get the orders in as soon as possible. There was a steady stream of people, but never a line, so our waiter should not have taken so long to get our drink orders, meal orders, check in, get the check, etc. That said, we weren't in a hurry, so everything worked out.Special Features:
- Always great, needs some work done.BunkieVIPDined on 7/30/2014I eat here once or twice a month since I live in the neighborhood. It's always a great option because the food is good. I took my friend there for his 40th birthday and made a note on the reservation to please do a happy birthday dessert and just put it on my bill. Not a group if singing waiters, just a little writing on the plate, maybe a candle. Just something special. Instead, nothing! Not even a dessert and a happy birthday to my friend. Dissapointed so I'll try a few new places that opened across the street instead. You'll enjoy your dinner but don't hold your breath for anything special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BrunchFatcattnDined on 7/26/2014I had the crab cake Benedict While the crab cakes were good, it was missing something. I wish I'd gone with the traditional version. I'm always trying something new. Sometimes I get burned. The Hubs had the brioche french toast. Honestly, it could not have been any better. Best french toast I've ever tasted. Seriously, seriously good. We asked for coffee with cream. Our server brought skim milk. She seemed shocked when we asked for cream. She said, "But that's skim milk," like we must be mistaken. It was comical. Oh! Mustn't forget the, build your own Bloody Mary. Fun & delish. Loved that. The decor is modern, but homey and comfortable. I saw it while returning from Blue Man Group. Glad they serve Saturday brunch & glad we checked it out.Special Features:
- Can't cook a burger :-(GmathVIPDined on 7/17/2014Our drinks and appetizers were good but our burger asked medium rare came out like a hockey puck. Was going to have them refire me one but our neighbors in the restaraunt had already sent theirs back twice so I decided to give up. The manager was nice and apologized but didn't comp anything and tried to offer a dessert. We decided if you can't cook a burger right then a dessert definitely won't be right so we declined. Very disappointed in my last few experiences here probably won't be coming back unless it's to the bar for a drink.Special Features:
- Not impressedTbobosDined on 7/13/2014First time I've been to this location. I've always liked the one on Newbury but I found this one not up to par. The service seemed somewhat chaotic, there seemed to be about 4 different people waiting on our table. I think this resulted in my order coming medium well instead of medium rare. My food was over cooked in every way and I left more than half of it on my plate (strangely they never asked if I wanted to take it home, like they knew I didn't like it.) I should have sent it back but wasn't in the mood to throw everyone at the table out of sync. The over all experience left me feeling like I don't want to bother going back. Plenty of other options in that location.
- dependable... goodKevinbostonVIPDined on 7/11/2014we sat outside. The service was fine. we all had basic salads. they were fresh and as one would expect. We will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I really wanna like this place, butchuckmac07VIPDined on 7/2/2014they just can't seem to get 'the food thing' right. really nice atmosphere, attentive servers and some great food, but not all great food. this is my 3rd time at Stephi's and to coin a phrase: it's always something. for my prior 2 dinners, great halibut but drenched in a thick buttery sauce that killed the dish. in this case for lunch, terrific salad and Irish soda bread plus fresh chicken salad with sliced nuts and capers, but then they wreck it by drowning it in mayonaisse. so an otherwise 5-star experience is ruined by the need to - once again - drench an entree in sauce/mayo. as i said, i really wanna like this place: great decor and service and they're right around the corner, but...
- Great addition to Tremont StmlbabyDined on 6/27/2014Stephi's, was a really good find for us, great food. Bread was delicious and a little different to the regular bread you get at most restaurants. Appetizer of duck spring rolls, really good. I got the baked cod and my partner the paella - both delicious! Shared a cheesecake dessert which was fab. The atmosphere was relaxed and our waiter was attentive and friendly . Will definitely return and will certainly recommend to friends. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulNixxo1121Dined on 6/25/2014Drinks, dinner, apps and company were all wonderful! We enjoyed everything about the meal and restaurant. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and kind.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Diego was awesomemattasticaDined on 6/21/2014Service was great. We spilled a drink (note: Coronaritas become top heavy) and it was promptly cleaned without incident or attracting too much attention. It was also replaced by a fresh (coronaless) version of it. Food was great. Stephi's delivered upon its consitency. First time there for Dinner btw; typically a Newbury street denizen. Diego--our server--was the highlight. Personable and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy!hungry1Dined on 6/18/2014You must try the tuna sashimi salad with pears and beets and mandarin orange segments hiding among the leafy greens. Excellent! And the chocolate fudge brownie bread pudding is scrumptious. Peach/blueberry crisp was good, though a bit on the tart side. The vanilla ice cream helped.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- High quality for brunch or dinnerReviewahVIPDined on 6/15/2014At brunch, the salty pretzel crusted crab cake benedict was excellent. I had the "executive Mimosa" (featuring vodka with the usual orange & champagne) to get my day started just right. There are small tables for two and booths for larger groups, as well as a few tables (seasonally of course) outdoor on Tremont St, right in the heart of the South End. There is a well-stocked bar with a good crowd and TV. Dinner is also very nice at Stefi's, featuring a gourmet comfort food menu. The ambience is a less formal, relaxed but always fun and sophisticated little sister to the extremely popular Stephanie's on Newbury with more of a neighborhood vibe and less touristy and busy than the Newbury location.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014Loved this place!!! We've been several times and always have enjoyed the experience. The "Roast Turkey Club goes salad" is a favorite -- Creative comfort food, great wine selection & friendly service!Special Features:
- Its Our Go To...OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 6/8/2014Consistently great food and service. Had the Tuna Melt today. Was great! The Cajun fries were a little heavy on the seasoning for my taste. Next time I'll ask for the regular fries.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stephi's on TremontsjdinctDined on 6/8/2014Always excellent and very dependable. Our number one spot to dine before going to the Calderwood Pavillion!!Special Features:
- great localtionsuzyVIPDined on 6/7/2014If you want to people watch this is a great place to go. There is a small outdoor area but even many of the indoor tables have a view of busy Tremont street. That it was a beautiful night didn't hurt and it is just down the street from the Calderwood so It was easy one stop parking. Varied menu and signature comfort foods as well. Would go back.Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 5/28/2014I have celiac and the staff was knowledgeable and accommodating regarding my dietary restriction, which was most welcome. I am a repeat customer and will return!I would recommend this to a friend.
- deborah1019Dined on 5/27/2014Stephi's on Tremont is a reliable restaurant for before or after theater in the South End. The service is good and there is a large variety of offerings, making it possible to go there with other people and have either a small meal or a hearty one. We enjoy going to Stephi's before we go to the Calderwood, several times a year.Special Features:
- Staff and outside sitting are best.Luv2eatoutVIPDined on 5/24/2014The food was ok, nothing great. I had the burger. For $17, the plate was a little bare: putting more French fries or salad could have solved that problem. The best feature is sitting outside on a sunny afternoon. Our waitress was really good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- perfect "special" bistro atmospherepainter14Dined on 5/17/2014Loved the atmosphere; cheerful, attentive, timely service. I wish the food had been a bit more skillfully prepared: crab cakes were dry, wanted more seasoning, and the mustard sauce that accompanied them tasted like straight mustard, and was overpowering. More flavor in the crabcakes, and a more delicate sauce would be lovely; also, maybe that "pretzel crumb" coating isn't working so well - might if it were a coarser crumb, and the inside was more moist. My companion had paella, reported that it was "good, but overcooked".Special Features:
- Great discovery for me!TOLmusicVIPDined on 5/11/2014The food was a excellent. The waitress very cute! Overall, fun time!Special Features:

- DisappointingPtownmanDined on 5/4/2014Read some rave reviews about this spot and it is clearly popular so I arranged to meet 2 friends for brunch on Sunday at 2:30. We arrived 15 minutes early and were seated promptly (+++) and the waiter took drink orders promptly (+++). The dining room was very noisy (-) and the windows were all open making it uncomfortably chilly (---) as it was breezy and cool outdoors. The waiter recommended the meatloaf hash as a "specialty" of the house (-----). Meatloaf was mostly grain and tasteless; the entire dish was uninspired and bland. My companions did not fare much better. Their entree's (tuna and a vegan salad) were also very bland and unremarkable. The food was at best mediocre and on par with your average cafeteria or diner.Special Features:
- Very pleasant timeDirkDined on 4/26/2014We had a very pleasant time. The service and food were excellent despite the fact the restaurant was very crowded.Special Features:

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (WJBK) -- Crews responded Monday to a diesel fuel spill at an office building in Auburn Hills.Fire Deputy Director James Manning says an estimated 4,000 gallons of diesel spilled and entered a storm drain at RGIS, located at 2000 Taylor Road. Manning says the spill likely started over the weekend and wasn't noticed until Monday morning.A valve on a backup generator failed, FOX 2's Taryn Asher was told, which triggered the spill. Half of the RGIS building was evacuated due to the strong fumes.Manning says no evidence suggests the fuel leaked into the public sanitary system. The Oakland County Hazardous Materials team was activated and responded to the scene.The fuel appeared to be completely contained later that evening. It first drained into the company's storm drain, then into a retention base. Cleanup is still expected to take days. The cold temperatures worked with clean up crews, as the fuel was not able to soak into the frozen ground as it normally would.Air and water quality testing will continue, as will the investigation to how the spill occurred.

"I was able to personalize these gift tags w/ the full date of the shower and then used them as sticker's to make keepsake book marks for my sister's guests! (we did a book-themed party since we didn't know the baby's gender of the baby!) Everyone loved them. We also used the stickers as cupcake toppers! We stuck them on different colored cardstock and cut them out, leaving just about an 1/8 inch edge and stuck them in our cupcakes - perfect complimentary shower decorations! Oh - we changed the graphic from the heart to the question-mark so it would match the invitations. So simple to make that request and Tiny Prints called and sent proofs showing me what it would look like both ways. So professional and courteous. I will definitely order from them again!"
"nice & modern. this was hip and trendy without going overboard. The colors printed nicely. I chose the blue. Definately recommend!"
"I used these labels to place on goody bags for my 4 year olds birthday party. It had his picture, the date of the party and thanked the guests for coming. I had so many comments on how great the labels were."
"AHH!! SO CUTE! I totally love these gift tags so much - all I can think is teddybear picnik but I'm sure we'll use them for everything - especially gifts to my daughter's friends"
"I personalized these tags for my SIL's upcoming baby shower. She's having a little boy and I thought they were perfect for a more contemporary look."

"But Lewis didn't take kindly to threats of litigation as an inducement for the city and county to let the advocacy groups dictate term"
What else does the people have when those elected seem to only respond to special interest themselves and not the majority?
What America really needs to understand is the consequences of their votes, we see it all the time, especially on a Federal level. We see someone vote Democrat then complain, vote Republican then complain. Not smart enough to realize the problem is both parties those interest that finance them. I've seen it on city and county issues (especially in Seattle and King County) when I lived there.
The only voice left for citizens is lawsuits (sadly).. But that is reality.

Windmill Health Products - Green Coffee Bean Extract Weight Management Formula 400 mg. - 60 Tablets
Windmill Health Products Green Coffee Bean Extract Weight Management Formula contains 400 mg of green coffee bean extract. Recently, coffee has been getting a reputation as a diet-friendly beverage. Although it has been largely thought that caffeine is the energizing, fat-burning ingredient in coffee, new research is now pointing to chlorogenic acid, a remarkable compound that's found in the unroasted (or "green") coffee bean, but which is largely destroyed during the roasting process.
Windmill Health Products Green Coffee Bean Extract Features
The chlorogenic acid in green coffee helps you to manage your weight and promote fitness in a variety of ways. First, according to research reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, chlorogenic acid from green coffee reduces sugar absorption from the intestines. It also has been shown to help inhibit an enzyme in the liver that releases sugar into the bloodstream. These two effects help to maintain healthy sugar levels so you can control your appetite.
Chlorogenic acid has also been shown to speed up the rate of metabolic fat burning, and laboratory studies have even shown a reduction in the size of fat cells.
You may not be able to pour yourself a cup of green coffee – chlorogenic acid is extremely bitter – but now you can enjoy the benefits every day with Windmill's Green Coffee Bean Extract tablets. Just take with meals as directed, and see what it can do for you! For maximum results, Green Coffee Bean Extract should be consumed in conjunction with a healthy diet and a program of regular exercise.

WASHINGTON (WKZO) -- U.S. Congressman Sander Levin criticized the Internal Revenue Service Friday morning during his opening statement at a hearing of the House Ways and Means Committee.
The committee is looking into the allegations that IRS officials unfairly targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. Levin was highly critical of former IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman and current Commissioner Steven Miller who both told Congress there was "no targeting" going on.
Miller has submitted his resignation to President Obama in the wake of the scandal.

Excitement and anxiety mount a day before Scotland votes on independence
Golden Girls win another leg to advance to 'Amazing Race Canada' finale
Column: Without Scottish athletes, Great Britain won't live up to that name
HUNTSVILLE – The memory of Terry Fox lives on in Huntsville.
More than 100...
GEORGIAN BAY TWP. – MacTier produces hall of famers.
The born and raised in MacTier resident Ross McNicoll has been nominated to the five-pin bowling hall of fame. A prolific bowler for close to half a century, McNicoll started in the sport shortly after leaving MacTier.
"I curled for about 10 years and when I got to Toronto I found I couldn't afford to curl. So a bunch of guys at my work at the railroad, they were going bowling, and I asked the question, 'what's bowling?' so away I went with them and that's where it started," said McNicoll.
Five-pin bowling is a uniquely Canadian sport started in the 1900s. The hall of fame is filled with Canada's, and thus the world's, best five-pin bowlers and has been running since the late '60s.
McNicoll said that through bowling he has been able to meet a lot of great people. In 1971 he met his wife while bowling and said that throughout his life it has been a good opportunity to socialize.
For amateur bowlers wanting to improve their game, McNicoll has some simple advice.
Know the game
"Get someone who knows the game fairly well. You don't have to be a high average bowler just know the game and know the points. Get your stroke down, whether you're a four-step, or three-step approach, and it's a lot like golf hand-eye coordination and be able to read your lanes," McNicoll said.
On top of his 12 provincial tournament victories and nine Canadian championships, McNicoll has also been a children's coach. In 2004 he coached a youth team of five which ended up winning their regionals and the winter games.
He believes bowling is an excellent sport for young people to get into.
"It keeps them off the streets," McNicoll said. "A lot of them I coached over the years I now play with. I coached them as kids and now I coach their kids. I take a look at them and think, my god."

Why Apple is a bargain-busting buy
The stock's valuation makes it look too cheap not to take a bite.
By Dan Burrows
InvestorPlace's special report about Apple (AAPL) on the occasion of the iPhone's fifth birthday would surely be incomplete if we didn't weigh in on the prospects for its stock. Let's start by looking at how it's fared recently.
Turns out the shares have seriously stumbled since hitting a record closing high of $636 in early April. The stock is off more than 8% since then to about $580 and change, shedding $50 billion in market cap -- more than the entire value of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) -- along the way.
That's a sharp sell-off. By comparison, the S&P 500 is off just 2% over the same period.
But on the upside, the decline has made Apple a very cheap, high-quality stock. Just have a look at the valuation -- ultimately the most important single factor for long-term investors -- and what you've got is a bargain-busting buy.
First up, let's talk about quality. Value investors use return on equity (ROE) as a proxy for quality because it demonstrates how much profit a company generates with the equity shareholders have plowed into it.
Apple's ROE stands above 47. How stratospheric is that? Only three companies with market caps above $100 billion have ROEs higher than Apple -- GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Philip Morris International (PMI) and IBM (IBM). Considering that Apple has a market value of more than half-a-trillion dollars, well, it's clearly in a class by itself.
At the same time, Apple's price-earnings ratios (P/E) don't reflect anything close to its profit growth, both past and projected. In other words, what the premium shareholders are willing to pay for each dollar of earnings is far below the stock's own long-term averages -- something known as multiple compression. That premium is much lower than the broader market as well.
We'll talk about why that's going to be good news for the stock in a moment. But first, here's a rundown on the valuation:
- Apple's forward P/E of 10.8 (yes, based on analysts' estimates) currently stands 49% below its own five-year average of 21.1, according to data from Thomson Reuters Stock Reports.
- Apple's trailing P/E of 14.2 (actual income already earned) currently sits 44% below its five-year average of 25.4.
- Versus the broader market, Apple's forward P/E offers a 15% discount to the S&P 500's forward P/E of 12.8.
- By trailing P/E, Apple sits 6.6% below the S&P 500's 15.2.
Now here's the kicker: Apple is cheaper than the broader market despite having far stronger growth prospects. Apple is forecast to post annualized earnings growth of 22% over the next five years against just 11% for the S&P 500.
That's why Apple's price/earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG) is so laughably low. PEG measures how fast a stock is rising relative to its growth prospects, where 1 is considered fairly valued. Apple's PEG is 0.6 -- or 40% below its own five-year average and about 65% below that of the broader market.
These measures say Apple is a screaming buy on valuation alone. If nothing else, reversion to the mean suggests that multiple expansion -- that is, rising P/Es -- will boost the stock. If Apple's forward P/E were to expand to 16, or the halfway point between its current P/E and five-year average P/E, the stock would trade at $864.
Lastly, forget JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) claim to fame; Apple has the true Fortress Balance Sheet.
Including long-term investments, Apple has more than $100 billion in cash -- more than any non-financial firm. The company is absolutely soaked in cash. And even after excluding those long-term investments (which aren't really the same thing as cold, hard cash), Apple boasts a whopping $28 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
All that cash comes to $30 a share. If you subtract that from the share price (since stockholders "pay" for earnings, not their own cash), the multiples fall even farther. The forward P/E dips to a bit over 10, and the trailing P/E drops to 13.5.
That's right: Apple is even cheaper than it first appears.
True, it may take the market a good long while to pony up for what Apple's really worth. But at current valuations, it looks like too much of a bargain not to take a bite.
As of this writing, Dan Burrows did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

North American Tour?
Scott Young
Birmingham Al. USAOk, The demand is there for a tour of North America. I suggest you start rehearsals, create enough material for a record, create a record. Add Holdsworth to the lineup ( I notice you have not been using a Guitar in the line up) Then I suggest you create a tour, jack up the prices to fund it. $200 ? This in turn will connect with a new audience and you will be on the road to satisfy all of us followers/worshipers. So 2015 would be suitable for me. You in? George Duke would want this for you and us......Jan 10, 2014 4:14pm
Saw you live
ValarieIn 1977 or '78 at a UWOshkosh here in Wisconsin. What memories! I've been a singer all my life in bands for many years. I found myself in a band in the '70's with a violinist that was as enthralled with you as I was and I convinced him to do New Country. We did and even though a lot of the audiences we played for didn't know it they LOVED it! And, you would have been proud of him. He performed it well and I danced my feet off! Again, what memories.... THANK YOUJan 9, 2014 10:52pm

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son had been in a private school for eight years before we moved into the Chestatee district. We had no public school experience and didn't know what to expect. From the first day of school we couldn't have been happier! My son loved the 8th grade and was very happy at Chestatee Academy. He had some major gaps in math and his math teacher went out of her way to help him get caught up. All of his teachers were very kind and caring and we really enjoyed his year there.
You have to fit into a gropus here. I dont fit into any clicks so i hate it.
my daughter used to go to this school, but she moved since it really wasn't that good. She had been wanting to move to another school and she loved it a lot more. This school is pretty clickish, and her test scores have improved greatly since she moved. :)
My daughter Malory goes there and says it is an amazing school! All the teachers and workers and students are all very nice but will not take difance!
chestatee middle is an awesome school because you know the teachers have fun laughing and joking with the kids while teaching the kids. I have been here all through middle school and I love it here you get to relax and joke around with friends while getting your education and 8th grade is the funnest with the 8th grade dance and other stuff 8th grade gets and the band program is a ton of fun and Mr.Sleister the band director is the best teacher ever so I recommend joining band because you get to have fun learning how to play an instrument and learn how to read music and in 8th grade you get to go to orlando FL. for a heritage festival that is a ton of fun and some 7th graders get the chance to go if not all 8th graders can go. and all the kids have fun
As a teacher and parent at Chestatee Middle School, I would highly recommend Chestatee to any parent. The faculty and administration are passionately committed to the students. Aside from our good work with all segments of our diverse population, we are known for demanding rigor from our students. Our gifted program, for example, is the most highly developed in the area. We offer gifted classes in every subject at every grade level. If you are thinking of moving to the area, I suggest that you contact any of our principals or teachers for an insider's view.

Well yeah I was very bored, so I'd re-write this again. If you have found my page you are either one of my friends who have been bugged so much by me talking about what I write or you are one of the few twilight- or in particular Alice and Jasper fans-still out there!! I'm gonna say that all I write has been researched to the tinniest grain of paper from the twilight books, films or occasionally websites. So for those who are sick of characters lossing there character when other people take over (I'm talking about those who make Alice react like a two-year-old with sugar rush) you won't find it here! Yay!! I am currently at high school- sadly- so I don't have as much time to write as I'd like to but hey, life is never very fair. I am not very like my usual main character (Mrs Mary Alice Brandon Cullen[Whitlock]) to look at but we have a lot in common mentally. I love to sing, draw, dance- even though I'm really bad at it! and am a very right-brained person. I LOVE animals and have three- not including my sister. Two rescued guinea-pigs and a dog.

Stuff Cup (Presented by Kona & The Path Bike Shop) was a huge success!
first ever XC race allowed in an OC park (The Okole Stuff Cup) was this past
Saturday at Irvine Regional Park and Santiago Oaks Park in Irvine, CA. Like the
races of old the course was lined with cheering spectators at many locations.
The racers got to experience the thrill of the crowds as they pushed there
limits to the highest level.
course itself was a throw back to the courses of the past with 1077' of
climbing per 9 mile lap and many very technical sections.
the race participants and the public were treated to great food from Wahoo's
and the chance to try out some great bikes at the Dirt Demo.
The Winner
Brent Prenzlow, local southern California Cyclo Cross star
and endurance buff had this to say:
1 - Chris Heinrich (the Path), Paul Freiwald (Pivot), and Eric Bierman (Steven
K) all took turns leading out the pro group as we headed toward the
pivotal singletrack climbs. I took the lead at the bottom and set a medium-hard
pace to see how everyone was riding. I opened up a small (10 sec?) lead at
the top of Coach Whip, but was soon joined across Barham Ridge by Sean Donovan
(KHS). Donovan wanted by and I figured as a local he knew the trail so I
obliged. He went so fast down Chutes I was immediately dropped in a cloud
of dust! Soon the rest of the Pros were also backed up behind me (sorry
guys!). Donovan was out of sight, and Freiwald passed me and took up the
chase. As we crossed the deep sand & rocky dry river I moved back
into 2nd and could see Donovan at the top of the next short climb. I pinned it,
and got a gap on the chasers and successfully bridged across by the pavement
ending the lap. I moved to the front just as we completed lap 1.
2 - I could see the chase group together about 20-30 seconds back. I knew
Donovan was probably the fastest local rider here so I was hoping to work
with him on lap 2 to build a lead. Shortly into lap 2, however, I noticed
Donovan getting ready to take a feed and at that point I got a small lead. I
didn't pick up the pace, but I didn't slow either. I had no feeder and was
riding with 2 large bottles to get me to the end. I made an on the fly
decision to try and extend the lead thinking that if I built up a gap then
maybe I wouldn't get passed and/or dropped on the Chutes downhill. When I got
partway up the singletrack climb, I could see down and the chase group had
caught Donovan and they were all working together. I put in a max effort this
time up and didn't look back. I was starting to lap riders, and when I went
down Chutes I had to slow down here and there to pass safely. I hoped this
played into my advantage as the chase would need to do the same. By the bottom,
I wasn't caught so I pressed on. Finishing lap 2 alone, I could see
Donovan chasing solo with no one else in sight.
3 - I've raced Sean Donovan a few times before, and I know he's not one to
easily give up -- I had to keep the pace high the entire last lap, and
also be mistake free if I was going to hold him off. I had to pass a lot
of riders again (mainly on the singletrack climb), but everyone let me by
without incident. (Thanks everyone for yielding!) When I looked back down from
the singletrack climb, I could see Donovan a good distance back (maybe 2
minutes). I never saw him again, but as I finished "arms up" and
pulled over to catch my breath - there he was; only 1:04 back! - I knew he
wasn't going ease up! Further back, Peter Smith moved up well to round out
the podium in 3rd."

Gemological Institute of America
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (May 2013)
|Gemological Institute of America
|Private, Co-ed
|Academic staff
|21 Gemology & 9 Jewelry Arts Instructors
|Carlsbad, California, United States
The Gemological Institute of America, or GIA, is a nonprofit institute dedicated to research and education in the field of gemology and the jewelry arts.[1] Founded in 1931, GIA's mission is to protect all buyers and sellers of gemstones by setting and maintaining the standards used to evaluate gemstone quality. The institute does so through research, gem identification and diamond grading services and a variety of educational programs. Through its world-renowned library and subject experts, GIA acts as a resource of gem and jewelry information for the trade, the public and worldwide media outlets.[2]
In 1953 the GIA developed its International Diamond Grading System and the Four Cs (cut, clarity, color, and carat weight) as a standard to compare and evaluate the quality of diamonds.[3]
Today, the institute is headquartered in Carlsbad, California and operates out of 14 countries, with 12 campuses, seven laboratories and four research centers worldwide.
On February 15, 1931, retail jeweler Robert M. Shipley cashed in his savings to establish the Gemological Institute of America. Because most jewelers of that time knew little about the gems they trade, Shipley sought to professionalize the industry through education, research and gemological instrumentation. The fledgling institute, operated out of the Shipleys' home in Los Angeles, offered mail-order courses and gem testing services.
Since the 1930s, GIA has made numerous breakthroughs in the understanding of gems. These include:
- creating the D to Z color scale and the Flawless to I3 clarity scale for diamonds, the internationally recognized standards for evaluating diamond quality (1953)
- detecting irradiated yellow diamonds (1956)
- determining the color of black cultured pearls to be natural (1961)
- the first gemological study of tanzanite (1968)
- the first report on faceted synthetic diamonds (1971)
- detecting diamonds decolorized by high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) treatment (1999)
- detecting chemical vapor deposition (CVD) gem-quality synthetic diamonds (2003)[4]
GIA is actively engaged in research to advance the science of gemology. Historically, research has focused on developing methods and technologies to accurately identify and characterize gems. This research has produced significant advances in the ability to differentiate gems and identify simulants (particularly diamond simulants). GIA was also responsible for the first modern diamond grading reports, where it introduced grading methodologies for diamond color and diamond clarity. Today, these scales and methods are the standard within the gem trade for characterization of diamonds.
Current research at gemological laboratories concerns the development of improved detection techniques for treated and synthetic diamonds, as well as for treated sapphires, rubies, and pearls.
Laboratory Services[edit]
The GIA Laboratory provides a variety of gem grading and identification reports. Diamond grading reports for unmounted natural and synthetic diamonds determine their key characteristics: color, clarity, cut and carat weight. GIA issues two types of reports, the more complete being the Diamond Grading Report (a briefer and less expensive version is called a Diamond Dossier). The reports contain a number of measurements, including of carat weight as well as a diagram of where and what types of inclusions are located in the diamond. Diamond grading reports are now demanded by most consumers purchasing diamonds over a certain size, typically for over 0.5 carat (100 mg), and almost always for over 1.0 carat (200 mg), and are considered an important tool in guaranteeing that a diamond is accurately represented to a potential buyer.
GIA colored stone identification reports may include a comment about any treatments detected and an opinion of country of origin for ruby, sapphire, emerald and tourmaline. Pearl reports specify the weight, size, shape, color, origin (natural or cultured) and presence of treatments.
GIA offers several programs and courses online through an interactive eLearning format, and through its 12 campus locations around the world. The institute also offers corporate training programs and works with trade organizations worldwide to provide technical training in gemstones and jewelry.
The Graduate Gemologist (G.G.) diploma offers a comprehensive education in gemology. Graduates of the program receive the Graduate Gemologist diploma as well as Graduate Diamonds and Graduate Colored Stones diplomas.[5] Students can also earn an Accredited Jewelry Professional diploma with the addition of one more course, which can also be taken independently.[6] The Graduate Pearls diploma program provides a comprehensive foundation in pearl identification and grading.
Additionally, GIA's Carlsbad campus offers several programs in jewelry arts. The Applied Jewelry Arts Program (AJA) diploma covers jewelry design, wax carving, mold making, casting and CAD/CAM. The Graduate Jeweler diploma program teaches the fabrication, repair and stone setting skills to become a professional bench jeweler. Other jewelry arts classes are held on campus in Carlsbad and New York.
GIA's Carlsbad and New York on-campus courses are accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). Its Distance Education courses are accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).
GIA Diploma Programs and courses include:
- Graduate Gemologist
- Graduate Diamonds
- Graduate Colored Stones
- Graduate Pearls
- Accredited Jewelry Professional
- Jewelry Design & Technology
- Graduate Jeweler
- Jewelry Design Course
- Comprehensive CAD/CAM for Jewelry Course
GIA also exists to educate the gem and jewelry industry and the general public through its publications and outreach efforts. Most notable of these efforts is the quarterly publication of the magazine Gems & Gemology, a respected journal in the field. The journal includes full-length feature articles, as well as reports on GIA research, abstracts of relevant articles from other journals, book reviews, and industry news from around the world.
Library and Information Center[edit]
The Richard T. Liddicoat Gemological Library and Information Center, located at GIA's headquarters in Carlsbad, California, is the premier resource for gemological knowledge. It houses a growing collection of 38,000 books, 700 international magazines and journals (with current subscriptions to 225 titles), 1,000 videos/DVDs, 80,000 digital images, 300 maps, and approximately 6,000 original jewelry design renderings.
The collection contains works published from 1496 to the present, encompassing the history and modern development of gemology. Subjects include natural and synthetic gemstones, gem treatments, jewelry design, manufacturing, and marketing.
The Liddicoat Library is open to the public and the jewelry trade for on-campus research. The library catalog and other resources are available through the website. A reference staff with gemological expertise is on hand to answer questions and may be contacted by e-mail or telephone.
GIA Instruments[edit]
GIA also designs and manufactures professional equipment for grading, identifying, and selling diamonds and colored gemstones. These instruments are used to determine the physical and optical properties of gems and analyze their microscopic features.
The first GIA instrument, a 10x eye loupe, was introduced in the early 1930s. Darkfield illumination, a lighting technique that makes gem inclusions easily visible in the microscope, was patented later that decade by Robert M. Shipley, Jr., the son of GIA's founder and an important figure in gemological instrumentation.
In addition to basic jeweler's tools such as loupes, tweezers, and gem cloths, the GIA Instruments product catalog includes sophisticated instruments ranging from microscopes to spectroscopes.
In 2005 a bribery allegation against GIA lab workers was made which raised questions on the integrity of diamond grading labs. A dealer claimed of fraud involving its lab workers on grading of two diamonds. These two diamonds had a discrepancy in its grading and an independent testing following the allegation. The dealer alleges that lab workers familiar with circumstances were involved.[7]
This led to an internal probe being initiated at the GIA, which ran for four months. The probe unearthed Midtown lab workers' contact with clients, an act which is prohibited by GIA code of ethics. The fraudulent ratings and GIA code of ethics violations were acknowledged by then chairman of the GIA, Ralph Destino. The internal probe ended in October 2005, resulting in the firing of four lab workers and the head of the laboratory. Thomas Moses was appointed as new head of the laboratory.
Internal investigation was also initiated due to a lawsuit filed in April 2005 by Max Pincione, a jewelry dealer and former head of retail operations at elite jeweler Harry Winston. The lawsuit was filed against Vivid Collection LLC, Moty Spector, Ali Khazeneh and the GIA alleging that Vivid made payments to the GIA to upgrade the quality of the diamonds submitted for grading [8] which he further sold to the members of Saudi Royal family. On discovering the fraud the members of Saudi Royal family demanded their money back and refused to do any further business with Mr. Pincione. Mr. Pincione claimed he had in possession a ledger which supports the allegations that a supervisor at GIA was being paid more than $3,000 a month to change grades of the diamonds.[citation needed]
Full disclosure of the incident was never made by the GIA; this was not viewed positively by the industry.[citation needed]
GIA has several competitors in providing diamond grading reports and gemology training:
- The Gemmological Association of Great Britain, also known as Gem-A, is an international gemmology education and qualifications body based in the UK. It was founded in 1908 and its first American graduate was GIA founder Robert M. Shipley in 1929.
- The Hoge Raad voor de Diamant (HRD Antwerp), which means Diamond High Council, is Europe's counterpart to the GIA. HRD is popular in the Far East and Europe where its reports are legal documents recognized by the European Union.
- The International Gemological Institute (IGI), IGI is a competitor of GIA.
- The European Gemological Laboratory (EGL).
- The American Gem Society (AGS), the AGS has traditionally focused on providing a cut grade which the industry was lacking in order to market higher end merchandise. The AGS is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.
- The Canadian Institute of Gemmology (CIG) is a career training institution for gemmologists and gem technologists in Canada.
There are also a number of laboratories affiliated to CIBJO.

All veterans, but particularly one of Laguna's own, were honored July 21 at a fundraiser hosted by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5868 at the Laguna Beach Woman's Club.
About 75 people attended the tribute for vets and, specifically, Harry James Lawrence — yes, there are two Harry Lawrences in town, hence the middle name. Among the guests: family, friends, admirers and members of the post, its auxiliary and of American Legion Post 222.
"Harry was in the hospital for two weeks before the event, and it took a tremendous effort on his part to attend," said his wife, Zahide. "I was so grateful he was able to be there."
Lawrence was honored as one of the great heroes and citizens of Laguna by post Senior Vice Cmdr. Arnie Silverman, who organized the tribute.
Silverman, who served as master of ceremonies, referred often to the text he had written for the program, which was distributed to everyone who attended.
It included a brief résumé of Lawrence's accomplishments in the service of his country and his community:
"Harry's history of achievements is overwhelming. A World War II veteran, he commanded an LSI-329 amphibious ship that made numerous beach landings of Marines in the thick of fighting in the battle-torn Solomon Islands. Often under attack by Japanese torpedo bombers, he once came close to losing his ship. He rose from ensign to lieutenant-commander and by the war's end, he captained his own ship.
"When Harry was commanding amphibious landing craft delivering Marines to the Solomon Islands in the Pacific, Vern Spitaleri was doing the same thing on a beach in Normandy," Silverman said.
Spitaleri, who was honored in 1996 as a Patriot of the Year by the Laguna Beach Patriots Day Parade Committee, was seated next to Lawrence at the tribute. The parade committee also honored Lawrence as Citizen of the Year in 1981 and grand marshal in 2008.
Spitaleri was also active in community affairs — sometimes in concert with Lawrence.
Both worked on acquiring Main Beach as a park for the city, and both helped raise money for art institutions in Laguna.
But before Lawrence turned his attention to Laguna after World War II ended, on his own he established workshops in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Kyoto, Japan. The workshops turned out high-quality, rosewood furniture and provided much-needed employment in those economically distressed areas. His efforts there previewed his future public service to the town he adopted as his own — not to mention his lifelong love affair with all things Asian.
Lawrence moved with his late wife, Maxine, and their daughter, Susan, to Laguna Beach in 1947. He left a secure job at Fireman's Fund to become owner of Warren Imports, a gift shop featuring works by local artists and potters in Art Center, now part of French 75.
Over the next half century, the store gained fame for its selection of Asian art and furniture and later moved to larger quarters. Lawrence also guided tours in Asia.
Widowed in 1993, Lawrence married Zahide Adam in 1996.
But there is a reason he is called "Mr. Laguna."
While raising a family and building a successful business, Lawrence zealously supported the arts and environment that helped make Laguna a destination for travelers from around the world.
Besides the acquisition of Main Beach, Lawrence organized the cleanup of the Rockledge area, revitalized the chamber of commerce after the war, and founded the Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce's Beautification Council in 1952.
He was among the community leaders who made South Coast Medical Center a reality, and he personally co-signed for the construction loan for the Laguna Playhouse on Laguna Canyon Road.
Among the awards he has received: the Exchange Club's Book of Golden Deeds Award, the Rotary Club's Paul Harris Fellowship and the chamber's Mermaid Beautification Award.
