Teacher quality

Parent involvement
My Grandson attends,and I know he's getting a good education.
Ida is my alumni school and I choose for my children to attend Ida also because of the fact it is a smaller school, and a great community to live in. I have 3 children in the Ida Public Schools and 2 of which are in the Middle school now. Ida does what is needed to ensure the children are educated, able to participate in school sports, and teach them to be drug free!!!! The school offers assistance for kids whom have a hard time in certain studies, they have a great hearing impaired department, and all around the teachers take the time to do everything they can to help the students. I am proud to have my children attend Ida School District!!
I love the new principal and the 7th grade teachers. Also has a really great band, science and math programs.
They really care for the kids and they go out of the way to make the kids feel special.
My child has attended Ida public schools since pre-school and has made me promise that I will never take her out of that school. She loves it and for me, having an eleven year old love her school, that says it all.
I love Ida School system! I have never seen more dedicated teachers, and staff!
My kids love this school so I love this school!
Because they care about their students!
Small community school. Many children from generations of family with farmland. Student ethnicity is 98% white. Teacher/Staff appear 100% white. Student and Staff Support/Administration is UNDER State Average. Teachers allow older students to grade younger students. Younger student is at disadvantage if older student dislikes younger student. Its another form of bullying. Children reports are ignored. Student excitement to learn and grade suffer. Bus Drivers do not enforce rules equally and show favortism. Anyone can walk in school with anything.School did not show on the day President Obama's speech addressed to children. However, school showed President Bush's speech. What are the children learning? The list goes on. Where is the strong principal/school leadership/ teachers actually grading students? Who make up these scores? They are wrong! I wish someone had posted a truthful report before I put my children in this school. I am embarassed and will move my children out.
I believe that Ida is a caring school system that reaches out to all students in one way or another. If a parent or student searches they will find a program that will benefit them. I am a school of choice parent and I feel I could not have made a better decision to send my daughters to this school district.
we love ida schools! my daughter has done so much better since switching to ida from monroe public
I have 2 children currently at Ida Middle school and both are struggling, i cannot understand why this district doe'snt have a tutoring program in place after school for kids that need extra help with their academics, i wonder why the honor society kids can't get extra credit to tutor or over achiever kids get some form of reward to tutor academically challanged expecially since the hearing impaired is centered in this district. All kids needing help would benefit on both sides, what a great way to teach all kids to be more understanding and caring. Even at a fee, i'm sure many of kids would partake and the school benifit as well. Hopefully someone will consider this ideal.
I personally love ida schools! Mr. Buckley runs the elementary school with a firm yet caring hand. I have never been so comfortable with a school system. My boys are in the middle school now, and although there maybe room for change just a bit in there sports programs (I happened to be a believer of size dosen't matter, a kid should get a chance to prove himself not overlooked because of his size) Ida has been good to us! I would recommend our school to anyone who has had a bad experience with a school system!
I was a proud graduate of Ida Schools, I brought my children here from Toledo, believing I was bringing them into a better school system. I was extremely disappointed especially with the elementary school. The principal in my opinion is worthless, the teachers like to talk about the students to other parents, there is no privacy. The teachers think they are helping when they are not! There is no such thing as any kind of discipline in the elementary. I have a child with ADHD we have had minimal support from the schools, so if you need any extra help from the school, I do not advise this systm. After two years of struggling, I am finally getting help for my child in the middle school after a 6 month battle with teachers and etc. I do give thanks to the middle school psychologist and social worker for helping us out.
I think all the schools are great.They have great academic programs.I am a student and personally I think that all the teachers are very good .Thier schools sports are very good.The teachers make sher that bullies that hurt people will either get suspendid or kicked out for the rest of the year.The teachers are very good to thier students and respect what the students have to say.Thank you for your time.
School administration is too busy checking for parents signatures on daily task notebooks, and to my disappointment cannot read the notes parents leave for them. Good children are punished for normal talking and behavior, while bullies are rewarded because teachers are afraid, disruptive behavior and EI kids rule by intimadation, Academic programs are wrestling, football for boys, basketball,baseball, for girls and boys, volleyball and cheerleading for girls, which is the same families with no room for new people to the area Kids with high state test scores and IQ's have no outlet, other than science fair or spelling bees,

Trading course reviews collected at the end of trading courses are of questionable value. The ability to produce consistent trading profits following your training is where the real value lies.
Appraisals collected at the end of a course (not a single one of these were) are completely misleading because often the attendees are on a high. What you read below (more than 34 A4 pages and growing) are what REAL people are achieving on a day to day basis. Don't be put off by technical jargon words such as pips, points, or contracts. These are just basic trading terms that are FULLY explained and DE-MYSTIFIED as part of your course. They are nothing more than words used to explain market movement and price.
Yes there are a lot of appraisals here, but that is relative to my near 20 years in this business and of course during that time I have met and worked with a lot of traders, many of whom are now great friends.
Alan Says Filed Apr.18, If you have followed today on GBP I just missed the sell on the retrace back into congestion after this mornings big break down as it was a few pips shy of the price I wanted. (I had already taken 63 on the move down to the 90 pip tool target.) No matter.Well, a little miffed as the price rolled back down to my original target in squint mode at 4755 where I bought and took 30 pips back up to congestion.So +90 pips up this morning with trading almost getting in the way of other things I was doing. I just watched the charts out of one eye occasionally with alarms on my second laptop for the price to 'comply'.Almost a 190 pip morning! Now time for a jog and then some lunch. Hope the sheep got you off to sleep. Alan
Helgi Says Filed Apr.18, Hi Martin, I have been putting off for a while emailing this, I wanted to make sure what I'm saying is real and not a short time fluke. I have been trading currencies now for around 7 years and wiped out many accounts, some big and some small. I guess I was stuck in a loosing loop and I now understand that it is almost impossible to get out of. During this time it was never an option to stop, I just new somehow that I would be a successful trader. What I didn't know was how long it would take. Last December I slowly wiped out another account and I just about had enough. Due to overseas holiday and other stuff I didn't trade for almost 2 months but I observed the market and observed the Pat alerts and started to see things in late January. I convinced my partner I should put some money into my account, just a little bit, $1,200.00 US dollars. I then started trading 1 mini contract. Man my account is growing so fast even though I am trading with very little and only adding 1 contract every $1,000 dollars. For example $2,000.00 2 mini contracts and so on. What I frequently do though is adding to my trade if my first trade is in the money and I see another opportunity I get in again. I have not words to describe what it feels like to be a successful trader and every minute of the last 7 years is now worth it. I don't know exactly what I am doing it keeps changing. I trade the alerts on Pat but only if I have 2 reasons to take the trade. One reason the alert and the other something else like the volume telling me something or sometimes even 3 reasons and it seems that the better it gets the better it gets and I see more possibilities. We have to meet one day, have you any plans to come and visit your brother here in Perth? That's all for now. Kind regards, Helgi
John Says Filed Apr.18, Hi Martin, It has taken me a little more than a month to get on the positive side of understanding Pat. Yesterday I took 204 pips in one day while I was asleep! Today 140 pips in the mist of a busy work day were I had to set up my trades and trust PAT! The best advice I could give anyone who is struggling is to keep going over the lessons. For me I was missing the intent of the trend and could not bring myself to change my position or would change too late. It was only when I went back and reviewed the lesson on congestion. This helps me see were the market was going. Well you can see that I'm on the right side of the majority of my trades, the record speaks for itself. Best regards, John
Pete Says Filed Mar.26, Hi Martin, I got that on the GBP. This is great! I hope you feel better soon, get some well deserved R&R. The very best, Pete
Liam Says Filed Mar.18, Hi Martin, Just before I go off to work, made a quick 80 pips off the 7.00 GMT This retraced up to the early morning hourly MBF 2.00 am,as this had not yet played out, because of the power move down on the 6.50 bar then reasonably fast retrace to the 1.4050 area,where I entered, exited at 1.3970 which was a green triangle from yesterday cheers Liam
John Says Filed Mar.13, Martin Just a quick update to let you know how my first weeks trading using PAT went. I decided to to make one or two trades a day to begin with till I got used to the software, the outcome was satisfactory as far as I was concerned. I had four trades which each made me 40-60 pips, the reason for the low values was due to me operating a very tight stop and trailing stop of 15 pips had I followed your recommendations of 30 pips I would easily have doubled some of these trades. However to begin with I just wanted to get a feel for the software and an appreciation of the need for a reasonable stop level while trading. In many ways i am really still paper trading but having the satisfaction of a small financial interest – amazing the satisfaction to be obtain from 50p pip trades! There was one day of disappointment when everything went wrong i.e. the one referred to in your email .I was to eager to get a winning trade and made the mistake of chasing loses. In future on a day like this if the market looks as complex to read I will try to walk away and come back another day. PAT with the alerts is a great pieces of software and I am pleased I waited until this version was available. Thanks for you help John Sinton
Alan Says Filed Mar.13, Hi Martin, There were no trades when I went out this morning and wished I had a portable laptop to put in my backpack – now there is thought – but as you say in TU, best not to let on too much I came back in time this afternoon to buy today's 5.20 green. I had my doubts and got stopped out for -10 pips. Then I bought the test of yesterdays trend on the breach of yesterdays 18.30 green at 1.3868. I took +73 pips, moving up the stop gradually, just short of the 90 pip tool target on breach of the reds. I sold the breach of the top red, 1.00am, and exited for +1 as the force seemed very strong. In fact I then recognized I was feeling tired and losing objectivity and knew it was time to finish for the week and to give you some positive feed back on the new PAT. Apart from a speight of old behaviour at the beginning of the week when everything felt a challenge my trading world has now literally become a 24hr anywhere any time activity. On Sunday I fly to Melbourne for the second leg of my tour. Wishing you great weekend to you and yours.. Alan
Shannon Says Filed Mar.13, Hello There Martin, I can't get pat to send me an email when the alerts appear. I've gone through the set up 10 times and I have 10 successful test messages in my in box, but not one live alert. What have I done? Having a good week, and yes I did get on that buy on the Euro. I've made a habit of placing pending orders 2pips before the alert price just for that reason. 150pips Rippa! Look forward to hearing from you, Shannon.
Hugh Says Filed Mar.13, Hi Martin GREAT DAYS Just a quick update on progress. Wednesday down a few points could and should have done a little better dropping a few points needlessly. 12/03/09 Buy EUR @ 2789 So -20 pips 12.45 sell Eur @2832 on the 2816 signal stop @ 57 13.03 stop moved down to 32 when market hit the 90 area. 13.10 SO @32. 0 pips Very frustrating given where the market went to. Not all lost as it alerted me to possibilities for later on. I had buy order to buy @ 2732 on the platform from 9.10 No fill Went long @ 2770 on a retrace. At 15.43 moved stop up to 71. 16.54 moved stop up to 80 and placed limit at 2920 based on swing measurement. Went for 4 mile walk. Once back kept following up with stop a good distance back. !9.30 went to market exited at 2902.9 + 132.9 As I type I see it has hit my original target. The money is in the sitting. It doesn't pay to give up a good position lightly. However still a great day. Thanks for all your help and encouragement. Hugh
Todd Says Filed Mar.12, Hi Martin been very busy at work at the mo and therefore decided not to trade when tired and stressed. Its been a good move as I sat down tonight after a shower and saw good signs of intent on the GBPUSD. Sold on the break through of the 6:40 green alert. The 90 target lined up very nicely with the 15:40 green from the day before so I confident that this was a good trade. So much so i sold again on a retrace to the mid line on the 90. All up +125. Off to bed. Cheers Todd
Want to see more appraisals? Just keep on scrolling down. Over the years I have received a LOT. In fact I have no less that 34 A4 pages of appraisals.(and growing) These appraisals are special to me, because they reflect my commitment to every single trader or would be trader I have ever come into contact with. Some of these traders have been with me for more than 10 years which I believes speaks volumes about the the support and guidance I provide you with.
Hi Martin, Well that worked like a dream today,+£1500 net ! (To work out NZD rate Multiply 1500 x 2.7 to arrive at $4,050 NZD Equivalent for this particular trade) I must say I wasn't convinced on the upside after so many contracts on PAT yesterday trading at between 4350 and 4380 ,about 6000 contracts and we only got a move up from yesterday number one of about 60 points. I must say that when we broke through the sell line today I was thinking happy days !! Cheers Phil P.S. I'm gonna buy my mate PAT a drink now !!!
Martin, forgive me for blowing my own trumpet, – but that's 190 points I've made during the past two days!!!! (£2,945.00 Per contract traded ) Steve Fry.
Martin Just a quick note to let you know Yesterday Bf day .90 points (£1,395.00 Per contract traded )Today(did not check until after open)missed long for 30 points(angry with myself)Watched fall all the way back to zone(resisting urge to trade short against the strategy) Stuck to plan short at 27 on spread bet ,closed at 37 for 90 spot on.(pleased because i traded short although head said market not gonna drop anymore). (£1,395.00 Per contract traded ) Two days gone to plan, much easier than my non-bf scalping days! Thanks once again Steve
Sell order activated at 4327. Stop at 4357 Limit at 4237 LIMIT HIT!!!!!!! – 90 points taken. – It's almost too easy today! (£1,395.00 Per contract traded ) Steve Fry
My day to date – should have gone long after early retrace but sat and watched. Mindful of yesterday's No 1 at 4380 went short on spread as market had achieved its 100 points from mid. Filled at 4419 and waited to see 4380 tested. It appears to have failed the test – now at 4361 and 58 points to the good. Next serious test should be 4355 and intend to exit when touched. Just regret missing the early 30 points under BF. (£899.00 Per contract traded ) Regards Peter Baker
Martin – Fri looks like another inside day presumably we just recalculate mid price as in BF1 etc and trade mon & tues as well? Not having a bad week so far +104 (£1,612.00 Per contract traded ) Thanks & kind regards James
Don't be put off by technical jargon words such as pips, point, or contracts. These are just basic trading terms that are FULLY explained and DE-MYSTIFIED as part of your training. They are nothing more than words used to explain market movement and price.
Martin, Seemed like perfect BF Scenario 3 conditions. Waited until the first retrace before placing the fill. This was at 4369, giving me a chance 88 points back to the midline. – Brought down stop to protect profit once market had reached the upper 15. -Eventually getting stopped out at 4299, giving a profit of 70 points.(£1,085.00 Per contract traded ) Steve. Your explanations really are excellent and answer most of my pending questions did manage a short at 75 limit buy at 50 for 25 points. (£387.50 Per contract traded ) David forex trading success stories
Not wishing to be outdone!!!!!!!!! .. I decided that I simply HAD to get into this market because of terrific energy from two setups only 20 points apart – no entry using my foundation strategy – have been noting your comments on PAT use (which I am not yet running) and decided to 'black box' it away from the first no.1 price, the open of 5303, going long at 5318, stop at (initially 96) 88 – determined that this market would give me 90 points at 5408 – kept stop 40 points behind until I saw massive volume at 5379 and decided to move stop to 5364 (15 points below) – just got hit for gain of 46 less spread – 4 trades this week for gross 130.5 less 24pts of spread = 106.5 – I am really enjoying myself – looking forward to trying out the PAT software when I've got the time – D.H. confirms that it really is the business. (£1,643.00 Per contract traded )Very best wishes as always, Mike.
God this is fun!! Long today at 27.5..filled at limit sell of 61 .plus33.5 Only one trade each day this week and each one a winner. Up 101 points on week..and there's still so much more in this to learn.Many thanks. David (£1,565.00 Per contract traded )
From here on below there is no longer the monetary equivalent of the points taken, if you want to know the monetary value then multiply the points by £15.50 (current value)
Explanation ref failed mini-bf on short side followed by explanation of revising Bf line with Pats works and helps the penny drop today.Only traded long for 30 cos was not sure but good lesson. steve lyons
Points that I liked from course: The postage stamp of the strategy. The opening of account with little money because as you said if you can't make money with a little you won't with a lot.
The fact that we need to be patient. The idea of using trading as a means to enjoy other things in life. The idea of getting up and leaving the trading room and getting fresh air etc .Having a clear mind with the five minute review and living for now. John Williams
Martin came away from the day very pleased + 38. Thanks! I took the first down bar of the day at 5173 short got stopped -14. Was I wrong in taking this trade i.e why did you/ Steven not take it? Regards James PS Still feeling that smugness!
Long at 22.5 got out at 46.5(No.1 on 21 Aug.) plus 24 David
you may be amused to hear that I reached my 90 point target and exited on limit while I was combining the last of our winter wheat this afternoon – also (after phone call from D.H.to say that price has hit the midline) I placed my entry stop whilst in a meeting with the architect in charge of refurbishing the pub we bought recently!! – the important thing is that my belief in my own trading strategy is so solid that I can take trading decisions without even having to sit in front of my screen, AND without hesitation. you would be amazed (or perhaps you wouldn't) and just how good I feel about life these days! Best wishes, Mike. p.s. I have a short stop in place at 17! Took my stop to 5305 so was taken out marginally after you.
Had one of my better days gaining nearly 70 points Phillip West Long at 45 limit filled at 75..plus 30 ,have to go out so that 'll do for today
David Just a short note to let you know how I got on with PAT (Good Irish Name) today. Installed PAT Number One of 5183 Spreadex Quote 5197 – 5206 Bought £15 @ 5206 Spreadex Quote 5240 – 5249 Sold £15 @ 5240 Result £15 X 34 = £510 Happy Days have a good night tonight..Speak to you later. PAT is paid for Conrad Lagan
Hi Martin, Made 50 points short so far today. That's over 300 points with BFs and PAT in little more than a week. While not expecting this return every time, it's a bloody great piece of software. It seems to back up a little theory I had devised called the 2:30 theory – that the market breaking long or short after 2:30pm <idea I had that the US market news starts to filter into the European market and gives it a little push one way or the other> had some extra momentum. Other factors came in, but PAT would re-inforce this. Used to be that sons would want to become train drivers like their dads, but Steven's going to be a trader Welcome to the modern world – ?The Cole Trading Dynasty" starts here! Have a good weekend, Brian
Hi Martin! I had a fair day yesterday: Long on the Open (reversal) and Filled at 5550.5 (9:15) Sell Limit Order Filled at 5580 at 12:14 for the 29.5 points. Hi Martin Following THE BF STRATEGY took 30 points out today – call it ice cream dosh as am off to Dale (in Wales) to meet among others Max the surfing dog !! Yipeeeee. Re the PAT – I will wrap my grey matter around in early Sept on my return. Best Gary
Hi Martin, managed to make 40 points in the morning before being called away from trading. Didn't bother to email because it seemed so puny but, although a bit disappointed I couldn't hang around beyond 11 am, am still happy that I stuck to the strategy exactly. Also impressed with the ?professional money" indicator. It meant the break of the 5930 line had backing and fulfilled its potential very well. Will this be increasing the number of points on offer or just making the current lot more secure? All the best and thanks again for the great support! Brian
Hi Martin, Caught the rise out of the zone yesterday at 5907 ( just above the initial high of the day ) and was stopped out at 5930 after lifting my stop a couple of times. Straight forward 23 points. I wasn't ready to trade through the bottom of the zone so late in the day and was surprised how far it went down ! Not sure about BF day +1 since it has been up and down all in one day. Richard Hi Martin, Again, it seemed that I prempted what you were doing. Placed a buy order at 5898 and got filled soon after. Watched as it seemed to proceed to greater heights. Moved my stop from 71 to 81 soon after. Eventually moving my stop to 5929 just before your e-mail of your stop move to 24. Left it there until being stopped out by the dramatic decline. I was a bit dissapointed that we didn't have the full run, but still made a gain of 24 points after spread. Roll on days 2 & 3. Hopefully the PF signals are a little bit more reliable Mike Sugars
I did some quick number crunching regards my initial trading in July: I had 8 trades: (+4/-4), 50/50 as predicted. The P/L ratio conformed almost precisely to what the BF System predicts! (Minus 49 points / Plus 156 points). Robert Bauer
Buy line to 28 and then sell line to close for a net 77.5!! you're a brick, Martin. regards, Mike.
David Martin! Never did I ever believe that I would be responding to you so soon after your recent compliment and confidence in me! I have had my course fees paid back by the market in my very first five days trading in a 'Live' environment!!! (Don't bother putting this up on your web site: Nobody would believe it!!!) OK, I did paper trade for two months after returning from Spain in May; but one of my goals was to actually go 'Live' within two months of attending your course. I was grateful simply for having achieved that! The transition from paper trading to 'Live' trading was, indeed, seamless, as you said it should be! Now even though I don't plan to deviate from the strategy, I do need to be able to deal more appropriately with understanding 'volume', strength, re-enforcement & support. I feel it's time to please put me on your members group mail Tell me (I'm curious!): Has any other of your 'Virgin' students ever made more than a £1,000.00 on their first profitable trade? Bob
Hi Martin! My paper trades in the recent past had confirmed what you intimated to us in Competa: that Day 3 can often present more opportunity for us. I hope tomorrow is no different! I'm up 95.5 points since my 1st trade last Monday morning! Robert Bauer £1480.00 per contract traded
Morning MC, Were you late out of bed this morning, haven't heard from you. I took +30 this morning from the nice little set-up in the P&F. Paul £465.00 per contract traded Martin, When the spring formed at around 10:20, I proceeded (on paper) to place my fill order on the end of the spring at 5813, my stop at the other end of the spring (cross-referenced on the tick chart) was at 8526. Because the risk was 13 points in size, I placed my limit order at 5774, (ratio 3:1) -39 points from the fill and then sat it out. gradually progressing down to my target around 1:40pm. So there you are, 39 points taken! Was I right to sit it out and take my target pointage or would you have moved the stops and then gone for even more profit? Steve Fry. £604.50 per contract traded
Martin! I was having teething problems with Trade screens and felt I wasn't 100% ready to drive them just yet Still, I knew the basics, so decided to dive in at the deep end and have a go! I decided not to miss the opportunity of a BF Day 1. You know I took a 14 point loss early on Later on in the morning I recognised that the market was reversing and going North!. When it broke through at quarter to eleven (London time), I got Filled at 10:52am at 5806.5 and placed a Sell Stop at 5797 to give me a 9.5 spread. I had previously arranged to drive my neighbour to Liverpool at 2:30pm, so knew I had a couple of hours to try and reach my 90 target (5891) and collect some 84.5 points. £1309.00 per contract traded
The market rose steadily for over 3 hours and was approaching 91 (indeed, it was at 5887.5!) when I had to exit. I knew I was well 'into the money' and wanted to wait (I already had a Sell Limit Order in at 91), but I didn't want to move my Stop and leave my equipment un-attended for 2+ hours. (Disaster if I got disconnected!!!) So, circumstances forced me to Sell at Market and I got Filled at 2:14 (London time) at 5878 giving me 71.5 points for the trade and netting me 57.5 points for the day. I accept the fact that I didn't adhere to The Rules as the target wasn't reached and the market subsequently moved in a Southerly direction to Close in the 30's (5841 actually). I was quite fortunate in bailing out at the time I did! No, I am not giving the money back! Fact is, and more importantly, I'm no longer a paper trader!!! I am now about to become a Stage 2 Player!!! (And all thanks to you, of course!!!) I hope this is the very last ultimate long message you ever get from me. I will, however, still question and have questions, but they will be shorter, I promise!!! I hope I haven't been too much of a trial for you Thanks for persevering! Bob! £891.25 per contract traded
Just for the record I have ordered PAT and on the advice you gave me on course I have waited until the market paid for it! I think it will help my learning process but I will not break my plan for BF DAYS. Steve Lyons
Hi Martin, You haven't been dozing again on that patio of yours ? Have been stopped out once very close call on the stop .but I lost the argument Now short again with 12 points locked in Good morning to Steven if here is watching AND learning today Regards, Howard £186.00 per contract traded
Took 29.5 points on short side ..got an appointment.. wouldn't like to call it just because I shall be away if it does 90 !!!! David £457.00 per contract traded Hi Martin I went short at 6114. Stopped out 6071 for 43 points. Like you I thought it was looking sluggish. Now waiting for retrace or return to zone. Maybe delay day tomorrow which may go well with the US back in. Thanks for the confirmation. Best regards Derek £666.00 per contract traded
Hi Martin, I did a carbon copy of your trade apart from the entry point which was 6106. I drew support levels from 2nd July of 6086 and then 6058. I thought there might be a problem in breaking through that. + 41 points Mike
Hi Martin,Report:In early, linked up.1 Short 6115.5 – usual problem stop too tight stopped at 6130.5 = -152 In again Short 6115 – stop too tight stopped 6119 = -3.53 In Again short 6115 – 2 hours later needed to go to meeting pulled in tight to 6063 stopped at 65 = + 50 pointsNow if I had followed the rules stop at 6146 would have been better.I'm probably going to break now until the next BF day while I get things sorted out here! CheersJohn £775.00 per contract traded
HI Martin, Grabbed £406 net today. It was like pulling teeth !I noticed an isolation tick at 6052 which turned out to be the bottom. Closed my stop down to 6073 and was taken out. Hopefully a delayed day tomorrow! Cheers Phil Sawyer
Many thanks for the warning I was short at 6114 and escaped at 6068.5 for +45.5 Went short on spread also at 6111 and got out at 6065 for +46 All in all a very good day (though nerve wracking when it broke the mid for the second time at 09.50) All the best Peter £713.00 per contract traded
I waited and I stuck to MY strategy and look what happens I have continued to make good!!!! On Friday I got stopped out for 10 + 6 = 16 points But overall the 3 day event has returned a good profit points wise and also some small amount of cash !!!Howard
Yesterday got stopped -31.5 pts and lost 42 points on spread bet. Went long on spread and took 71 points @ £20 out which recovered the day but didn't have the confidence to go long at 5908 which should have done for a proper 90 points. Did you??? Regards Peter Baker £1420.00 per contract traded
Hello Martin Did short it from 57, I had 42 in the bag at one stage but was to generous with the retrace and ended up with 20 then had to work from 11.30 daxtime. Gutted that I missed the afternoon going long, next time. One thing Martin I didn't understand why you got stopped out at 52 on your first trade, your s/loss seemed very .close or did I miss a signal Best regards Gary £806.00 per contract traded
Hi Martin I did well this morning taking 40 points, 5865 to 5825, on the short but as has happened too often, the day job took me away from the real action. I am still trying to work a strategy (for work not trading) that leaves me able to concentrate properly as I start responding emotively, we know how destructive that can be, if I get distracted. I am only dealing on BF days. In general I do tolerably well but could do better. My day job is going too well for my trading business. The difference being how I want to live. Anyway what can I say to except thanks again. Best regards Derek. £620.00 per contract traded Out at 5998 .
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! £1390.00 per contract traded
A BIG thanks

Hi, Yassin -
Thanks for feeding my internet addiction!
This isn't bad. I don't want to line edit the whole essay, but here's one thing you should fix: The phrase "control nuclear attack by United States of America" might confuse readers. In English construction, this means other nations set up the internet to stop the U.S. from attacking them.
While that makes sense and probably would have been a good idea at the time, your next sentence about the U.S. setting up an agency suggests that you meant to say that the U.S. used the internet to deal with attacks by others.

The Buffalo Sabres announced a press conference this morning and dropped several bombshells on the media types that had gathered. It was announced that Darcy Regier and Ron Rolston had been fired, with Ted Nolan replacing Rolston behind the bench. Pat LaFontaine will obtain the title President of Hockey Operations, and this signals a dramatic shift for a team that's had a brutal time winning games this season.
Here's big news in the hockey world- Ted Nolan, the former head coach of the Buffalo Sabres is back at the helm. Wow.
— Antony Robart (@AntonyRobart) November 13, 2013
Wow indeed. Nolan is known as a war chief of sorts, and demands a lot out of his players. He was John Tortorella before Tortorella was tearing it up and cutting his teeth in New York, and it will be incredibly interesting to see how the team responds to the abrasive Nolan.
Meanwhile, LaFontaine is a blast from the past for a Buffalo team that could use all the nostalgia it can get right now.
"I can promise you the hard work and passion that's here (in WNY), I'll give that same effort in my new job. -Pat LaFontaine #Sabres
— Buffalo Sabres (@BuffaloSabres) November 13, 2013
The Sabres are loading up on alumni, presumably modeling their front office after that of the Colorado Avalanche. No general manager will be named at this time, but LaFontaine promised that he had a short list and would begin searching immediately.
Pat LaFontaine said his goal as President of Hockey Operations is to create "top to bottom, a championship caliber team." #Sabres

bio - about Jeffrey Hoover
bio - about Jeffrey Hoover
click here for vitae - photos - program bio
Jeffrey Hoover's compositions - music ranging from soloist to symphony orchestra - have received recognition through the prestigious Trieste prize, awards from Mu Phi Epsilon, the Lancaster Fine Arts Festival, grants, publications fellowships and over 20 commissions. He is a member of the ACME roster of Mu Phi Epsilon, recognized for distinguished achievement as a composer.
Whether writing music for film or video, the concert stage, or jazz performance, his works possess a storytelling and cinematic quality. One aspect of his work is the combination of his music with his own paintings, creating unique interdisciplinary works (where he is both the artist and the composer). His paintings, in professional exhibitions, can be appreciated for their own value, or in concert, where the audience has an opportunity to hear his music and see his art at the same time.
Hoover's experience as a conductor and performer has included orchestra, jazz ensemble, wind ensemble, and choir, performing and conducting his own music as well as the music of other composers. As producer of New Music Today concerts, he has been active in bringing together the audience, performer and composer.
Jeffrey Hoover was born on September 11, 1959, in Anderson, Indiana. He holds a Ph.D. in Fine Arts (Composition and Interdisciplinary Fine Arts) from Texas Tech University, as well as a M.M. and Bch.Sc. from Ball State University.

(WHAS11) -- Lady Gaga's mother Cynthia Germanotta says students should take action if they see bullying, not just be bystanders. Germanotta delivered that message at the Third Annual Bullying Prevention Summit in Washington Wednesday.
At the Summit she gave a first hand account of what bullying did to her daughter. WHAS11 correspondent Sue Turner has the full story, click on the video player above.
Lady Gaga and her mother started a foundation to stop bullying called Born this Way. Lady Gaga is taking her foundation on a bus tour next year called born brave nation. She will stop in 30 cities.

Word also came through that they'll offer the controller in Blue and Pink in addition to the White and Black finishes, which have already been on the market. Oh, and it will be called Wii Remote Plus. We wholeheartedly agree with name.

The White House is asking insurance companies to explain to Americans the cancellation letters they're receiving in the mail. President Barack Obama's chief of staff, Denis McDonough, met Tuesday with CEOs from some of the largest health insurers. The White House says McDonough updated the CEOs on fixes to healthcare.gov and problems with enrollment data sent electronically to insurers. McDonough also solicited input on whether the system is getting better. The White House says McDonough urged insurance companies to "ramp up communication and education efforts" to those who have lost their insurance. Millions have received cancellation notices, sparking outrage because Obama repeatedly promised that those who liked their health care could keep it. The White House says many of those losing coverage have better, cheaper options through the new exchanges.
Meanwhile, a senior administration official involved in implementation of President Obama's health care plan says the program's sign-up website has improved since its launch more than a month ago and is still improving. Marilyn Tavenner told a Senate committee that the site is now able to process nearly 17,000 registrants per hours with almost no errors. In her opening remarks at a congressional hearing Tuesday, Tavenner did not say how many individuals have enrolled for health care through the site. The administration has steadfastly refused to divulge those numbers, and says they will be made available at mid-month. Tavenner is head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. (AP)

I say William Shakespeare had the right idea—Courtly love was a medieval European idea of love dating back to the noble courts of the eleventh century. In essence, courtly love was a contradictory experience between erotic desire and spiritual attainment. Courtly Love is having a romantic affair without ever imagining it will be consummated. The man in question will be in love with his lady — who is normally his social superior — do almost anything for her and in her name. She may love the fella back, if he's fortunate — though that's not expected, and not really the point. The lady in question (and, indeed, the man in question) will almost certainly be married to somebody else: when Courtly Love happens, marriage isn't for love, but for more pragmatic reasons. In periods where Courtly Love is popular, it may be the only form of affair that doesn't get condemned as evil, simply because nothing more intimate than kisses, handkerchiefs, and sonnets get exchanged. In modern times it might happen just because the characters are too young, such as a Childhood Friend Romance. It was a common motif in Chivalric Romance. The fairy mistress, being one of the Fair Folk, was a natural for it; the magical taboos that hedged her around fit well with the ethos of obedience to the lady, however arbitrary her demands. It even allowed the writer to rationalize the taboo into a whim of the lady. Almost as soon as it appeared, it was Newer Than They Think; the King Arthur mythos and the Matter of Britain were hammered into shape, and people began to lament that love was no longer what it had been in King Arthur's day. It has now been an Dead Unicorn Trope for a matter of centuries. There is, of course, a dark side to this seemingly idealized fairytale. Just as Courtly Love is the only genteel and "proper" form of romance short of marriage in nobility, the only outlet for carnal desires falls on the shoulders of those not subject to the respect of chivalry; the peasant class. Malory's writings contains candid accounts of Lancelot casually advising Galahad to rape a local village girl to mend his heart wounded from a failed courtship. This is the most benign examples of the consequences of unfulfilled lust stemmed from the stifling constraints of Courtly Love. In latter times, Courtly Love may be the only way for a Celibate Hero, or someone whose superpowers are Powered By Virginity, to express his (or her) love for someone. The difference between Courtly Love and Unresolved Sexual Tension is, Courtly Love is supposed to be satisfying in itself because of the mix of the romantic and spiritual. Even when it was popular, it didn't always work that way; Lancelot's love for Guinevere started as Courtly Love but developed into a different sort of affair. Later on, this trope helped make the era look far more romantic than it already was. Thus we have Knight in Shining Armor, Prince Charming, and Princess Classic. Older Than Print. Also known as Petrarchan Love, after the Trope Codifier, Petrarch, whose lovesick series of sonnets to Laura made poetry an essential facet of Courtly Love. Today, if one of the two is married, this is known as "emotional adultery". A Sister Trope to Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date (a more recent romantic ideal). Compare The Lady's Favour, Lady and Knight. Nothing to do with Courtney Love, who is pretty much in a polar opposite position of this trope.

It's one of those anniversaries hockey fans in Winnipeg will never celebrate - or ever forget.
Fifteen years ago today, the Winnipeg Jets played their final game at the Winnipeg Arena, dropping a 4-1 decision to the Red Wings. It was a moment that everyone knew was coming, as it had already been announced coming into that year that this would be the last season for the Jets in Winnipeg.
"People were in tears, and I had to work hard to keep mine back," recalled Joe Daley, who was a goalie with the Jets for seven years (1972-1979). "Just the thought of a team that I was a part of, that started in 1972, and I think, from that perspective it was probably harder on me than some of the other people. Because when you lose something you were part of for seven years and sort of a pioneer of, it was very difficult."
Long-time Jet Thomas Steen said the reality of the franchise heading to the desert didn't seem real.
"I was pretty okay with (the decision to leave) at that time," said Steen, who played with the Jets from 1981-1995. "It was '95 when the team was sold, (was when it was) worse. That came hard because you heard the rumours, but you didn't actually believe it was going to happen. But then it happened."
While the love for the franchise has never seemed to waver in Winnipeg, only now, with the financial woes in Phoenix and now in Atlanta, has the idea of NHL hockey returning to the province of Manitoba become a tangible reality.
Winnipeg mayor Sam Katz said Wednesday he was not convinced that it will be the Phoenix Coyotes returning.
"Do I believe the Coyotes are coming to Winnipeg - my answer would be no," said Katz. "I don't believe that. I believe the Coyotes will stay in Phoenix and they will do everything they can, because I happen to know some of the commitments that were made when they went there. And there were commitments that - if they were not fulfilled - there could easily be a lawsuit. So I think you have to start looking at some of the other potential franchises."
Sources say Atlanta is waiting for the league to determine the fate of the Coyotes.
According to sources, if a deal is made to keep the Coyotes in Glendale, there's a chance the Thrashers will move quickly into negotiations with True North to move the team to Winnipeg. A source close to the situation added that when it comes to relocation, there simply isn't anywhere else to go.
There are also questions as to whether Thrashers ownership and True North could work out an agreement, but the possibility is not being ruled out.
If the NHL is unsuccessful in closing the deal and the Matthew Hulsizer sale crumbles, the Coyotes become the likely target for Winnipeg while the league's attention will shift to the Thrashers and an effort to keep the team in Atlanta.
And like many fans, Daley feels it was only a matter of time before the Jets and the NHL would return to Winnipeg.
"I've sensed it for 20 years. People come in and still talk about the Jets. And even when there was no fever about (the team) coming back or possibly coming back, people would still talk about the Jets locally," he said. "I think the reason is that team was born here, and people became attached to it in a big way."

'Dress code', walking & taxis to / from restaurants - and area safety
- p
- PerfectPalate Sep 9, 2010 03:39 PM
Thank you sooo much to the people who have given great dinning ideas for our 6 night visit to SF. Sorry that I couldn't eat at all the places but have covered off many / most.
A couple of quick questions.
What is the typical SF dining out dress code for the type of restaurants that I mention below? Sorry to sound silly but it differs so much between NZ / Australia - Japan - Bali etc. we are about to pack our bags but are unsure what to bring over for a foodie (plus some sites) trip.
Also, how easy is it to get taxis to, and from restaurants? Do they book you a cab - and how far before you leave does this have to be done - can it be done when you finish your meal?
We would rather walk where / when possible - taking into account the 'dress code' issues above. We are staying (for most of our stay) at 198 Haight St (cnr Haight and Laguna). Would love comments about the safety in terms of walking around the following restaurant areas (from where we are staying). I know approx how long it will take - but is it OK to walk around these areas at night?
- Absinthe 398 Hayes
- Foreign Cinema 2534 Mission (thought we might have a roof-top sunset drink at Medjool next door first)
- Commonwealth 2224 Mission
- Flower and Water 2401 Harrison
- Coi 373 Broadway
- Prospect 300 Spear (staying at the Ritz Carlton this night).
Thanks in advance - we can't wait to get to SF on Sunday.

It is really quite a hike from Haight and Laguna to most of these places on foot. The neighborhoods where these restaurants are are not "unsafe" per se but you will probably want to use caution when it comes to the routes you take. For example, if you attempt to go to Flour and Water from 198 Haight, it would be advisable to take Guerrero or Valencia down south first, then cut over on 20th St. rather than go east first and cut down Harrison. The former route takes you through a major commercial corridor with lots of pedestrian traffic and interesting things to see, whereas the latter is going to treat you with 15 minutes under an elevated freeway in a rather empty area at night. If I had never lived in SF before, I'd probably feel spooked while traversing the latter route.
The North Beach walk to Coi is either going to take you through or on the edges of the Tenderloin, which does not have a sterling reputation. The "safest" path is probably going to be similar to what Google Maps recommends, down Market until you hit the Financial District, but be prepared for the grunge of the mid-Market area roughly between 10th and 5th. I would probably just take Muni from Van Ness to Montgomery, then walk the rest of the way. To be honest, if you have the budget to stay at the Ritz, it's probably a better use of your time to take cabs as much as possible to and from where you are staying, then avail yourselves of numerous better opportunities to walk elsewhere in SF.
Flour + Water
2401 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA 94110
re: bigwheel042
Thanks for the ideas - especially re the right routes. Yes. I was thinking probably a taxi for Coi. I'm keen to walk (to some) of the other places such as Absinthe but only if relatively easy, safe and fun.
re: PerfectPalate
Absinthe is by far the shortest walk. Hayes Valley had a bad reputation many years ago but is now much cleaned up, and I'd feel fine about taking the short jaunt up Octavia.
re: PerfectPalate
Also note elevation changes. I'm not sure of the topography of your home city, but many tourists are very surprised by the hills here - 10 flat blocks is something very different than 10 hilly ones.
This will certainly over-scare you, but to help you figure out safer areas to walk, you might want to consider looking at http://sf-police.org/index.aspx?page=..., which is the SF police department's crime map, probably filtering for "disturbing the peace" which usually means noise violations, homelessness, or public drunkenness and not typically a danger to a pedestrian; filter out duis, vandalism, and fraud too. Each icon links to the time of the incident, so many of the incidents are during wee hours of the morning when you won't be out anyway. Areas with heavy clusters are probably, very generally speaking, areas you should be very cautious, but check the timestamps of the incidents. Of course we're all happy to help you select safe routes to good chow, but in case your plans change or for some bizarre reason you don't run every single thing you plan to do past us first ;)...
I want to strongly emphasize that SF is overall a very safe city, and I don't want to scare you - I'm sure any major city would look like that map, or even much worse. Still, in the interest of full disclosure and ensuring tourist safety and enjoyment, use it if you want.
re: artemis
Your link produced an error message, but this one provides some interesting info, apparently there is no crime north of Taraval....
re: PolarBear
Drat, well it's http://sf-police.org/index.aspx?page=1 and on the left hand side, there's a link to "CrimeMaps"
Pack layers. Assuming that because you're packing your bags you're going to be here in the next couple of weeks, you should plan on cool mornings, sun midday, breeze off the ocean coming up in the late afternoon and cool evenings (in the low 50s). We've been having a much cooler than usual summer, but September is usually the warmest time of year here, so it's possible it could hit the upper 80s in the city at some point during your stay.
Jackets are not required at any of the restaurants you listed. Dress in SF can be pretty casual, although Coi and Absinthe (which gets a lot of pre-symphony parties) might be a little dressier.
In general in SF, a nice long sleeve shirt is all you want/need for dinner. Buttons, stylish, no tie. However, I usually wear a jacket, simply because it's often cold outside, and jackets look good. A suit is overkill anywhere in SF. In America, we would call this business casual. San Francisco is exceptionally forgiving in terms of dress. Steve Jobs, for example, often wears a black hoodie sweatshirt. Nice jeans and a sportcoat will feel comfortable too.
Foreign Cinema would certainly do OK with clean jeans, for example.
Regarding cabs, I have often recommended cabs, and having the matre'd call. Then I had a bad experience at Heaven's Dog. So as a backup, ask at your hotel for the phone numbers of some of the cab services. Just ask for the largest dispatch numbers - they'll give you Luxor and Veteran's and Yellow. Doing all that without a cell phone will be tricky, but you can ask to use their phone, or even borrow a fellow diner's.
Regarding neighborhoods, it's hard to have a discussion because it's so personal, and blocks close together can be quite different. There are some generalities, as people here have discussed. I generally feel safe in san francisco, but some parts of town are grittier than others. Walking the waterfront (embarcadero near the ferry building) is nice, as is chinatown. Also depends on the size of your group, size of the individuals, and gender.

re: bbulkow
Steve Jobs, for example, often wears a black hoodie sweatshirt.
As I have said before "and the Dalai Lama wears a robe and flip flops."
Most of us are not Steve Jobs or the Dalai Lama who probably get a little more slack.
re: wolfe
The bay area really doesn't like shorts, though. Just don't wear 'em.
[ not to imply that Los Gatos == San Francisco, but I think the attitude holds]
re: Kim Cooper
Let me guess, it was either Rodeo or a balletic rendition of Girl of the Golden West.
re: wolfe
Lol. No, I don't remember what it was, but I don't think so. At the time, I was living in the country, and we just happened to be in the city, near the Opera House, and somehow ended up going to the performance -- and in those days the jeans and boots was normal wear. I still have those boots.
re: bbulkow
Maybe if Steve Jobs had worn some hipper jeans, he would have gotten a table at Flour & Water...
There are no dress codes in SF. Even at the fanciest restaurants, some people dress like slobs, in some cases because they spend all their discretionary income on food. I know a guy who has eaten in every fancy restaurant in town wearing a T-shirt, hoodie, jeans, and sneakers. Any halfway passable outfit and you'll be well in the median.
re: Robert Lauriston
It's funny. If you wear a black hoddie here in NZ you are seen as a thug / wana be thug / kid trying to look gang cool. We have also done a lot of market research (our business) in Australia for a major hoodie company - there they are seen as casual and comfortable slob clothing for the weekends. Maybe in SF the hoodie is handy for the changeable weather. Just bought a nice North Face windstopper here in NZ on sale. Wonder why they have never done a hoodie.
By the way to anyone reading this - I am kinda embarassed by my online name - O just love great food and dinning experiences, no matter what the $ range (as long as good value).
Let me add the links for the places you've mentioned. When the software feels like working correctly, these should be displayed on a map to the right of your post so that you can see where everything is. You might want to consider getting a multi-day transit pass, which will come in handy for those times when you don't feel like walking up one more hill and can just catch the next bus, trolley or cable car.
Last week the NY Times did a piece on San Francisco "fashion". Here's the slideshow so you can see how we dress. I'll consider this on topic as several of our local citizens depicted are eating or enjoying some of our favorite eating venues, e.g., Bar Jules, Ferry Building, farmers market.

re: Melanie Wong
I'll add the Orbit Room to have a marker that's a stone's throw away from your first address. Once very popular, I hear the cocktail program has faded after some personnel changes, so this isn't a recommendation per se. But it could be your neighborhood bar since you're so close.
Orbit Room Cafe
1900 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94102
re: Melanie Wong
I live a block from where Perfect Palate is staying, and would not recommend Orbit Room for exactly the reason you mention. The cocktails for the most part are made with cheap liquor and the sort of muddled berry overkill that was popular 15 years ago.
If you want to walk from your lodgings to get a drink before or after dining, I would recommend:
Toronado, a down-and-dirty bar with an amazing array of beers and a sort of hard rock aesthetic. The bartender won't smile at you, but you're paying for selection and not charm. If you're hungry get a take-out sausage from Rosamunde next door (or a burger on Tuesday afternoon, the only day they make them).
Zuni or Absinthe for an excellent cocktail at a restaurant bar--both within a 5-10 minute walk of you. Only these two have food served there.
Smuggler's Cove, which I visited with some friends a few weeks ago and was shocked to like. A tiki bar that manages to serve really excellent cocktails as opposed to...every other tiki bar? More crowded and scene-y than the other places I recommended.
Have fun!

re: pane
If you are near the Orbit Room, then you are also near Martuni's.
This place is a hoot.
Piano bar in the back where patrons sing their pretty little lungs out.
They specialize in very generously sized up drinks.
They clientele is mixed, gay/straight/male/female/old/young.
I've not thought of it as a foodie destination, because this is old-school bartending, not fine up-to-the-minute artisanal cocktail making.
But the place usually delivers in terms of a fun one-drink stop, or a longer evening of libation and song.

1900 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94102
What a great thread! Intelligent questions, helpful and relevant answers. So much better than queries about "I've got 2 days in SF where should I eat" from people who have never read the board.
I will just add that you should consider Zuni, at least for drinks or a late night burger, since it is a few hundred yards from where you are staying.
Zuni Cafe
1658 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
re: mrs bacon
It's also available on their late night menu, after 10 (I think).
I'm a big walker, but there's a lot of crime in the city at the moment, so if unsure, be cautious and don't carry all your valuables at one time. Personally I think Harrison is safer than Mission near 20th.
That's not to discourage you from walking, only to be aware of your surroundings and the rapid changes in neighborhood.
Near where you're staying, there's excellent inexpensive sushi at Sushi Delight, next door to the Mint karaoke lounge.
Also know that unless you are downtown by a hotel, cabs are rare. San Franciscans call them rather than hail them. Bring a few taxi numbers with you, or ask your restaurant to get you one.
Sushi Delight
1946 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94102
I will also add that there are no dress codes for restaurants in SF. While a couple might mention on there website that they recommend men wear a collared shirt or jacket and no shorts, they have never enforced at the time or looked at me as if I were not suitable. I have dined at all off the higher end places in the city, by myself as well, and have never come across any problems and have always felt comfortable in what i was wearing. I am 20 years old, work at Whole Foods Market so most of my spendable income goes to food. I have enjoyed many meals at places like Coi, Quince, La Folie, FDL, and all the others wearing blue jeans, a t-shirt, Dr.Martens Boots with my septum piercing in and my tattoos showing.
La Folie
2316 Polk St., San Francisco, CA 94109
re: Robert Lauriston
I think the no dress code thing became real during the dot com boom. Poorly dressed "nerds" dropping lots of money couldn't be ignored or asked to leave.
re: ML8000
I'd put it another way: the dot com boom taught restaurateurs that the way someone was dressed had no relationship to how much they would or could spend in their restaurant.
re: Ruth Lafler
Also, I think there has been a cultural shift. Fewer people care what other customers are wearing, and maybe people associate suits and ties with work rather than pleasure.
Harris' used to have a dress code because Ann Lee Harris thought that was an essential part of the atmosphere, but she was 67 when it opened in 1985.
re: Robert Lauriston
It's especially true that in SF people don't care what other customers are wearing. SF has never been a city where fashion was important, and it's less so now than ever (see the NYTimes article Melanie linked, above).
re: Ruth Lafler
Masa's requires or they supply and possibly The Dining Room

re: celeryroot
I stand corrected, Masa's, Dress Code: Jackets Required but I love this understated at the Ritz, Dress Code: Jackets Preferred.
re: Robert Lauriston
Agreed, and wonder if we can blame Chez Panisse for some of the shift. They have always had an uber-egalitarian view, and pull a lot of cultural weight.
But certainly pre-boom - I never had any second looks throughout the 90's, when I dressed far worse than I do now. I remember one particular night I dined at Aquerello when I was certainly wearing a ripped and stained tee shirt, and may have been wearing shorts - jeans at best. The usual perfect service.

Yeah, I think as far back as the mid-80s I was laughing about how at Zuni we'd see white tie at one table and black T-shirts and jeans at the next.

1658 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
re: Robert Lauriston
Yes, you do see some pretty dressed-up people at restaurants in the Civic Center if there's an opera or symphony performance.
re: jlafler
Thank you to everyone for the great feeback and ideas re my questions. We fly out from NZ today - first dinner out at Absinthe tonight. Have a great remainder of the weekend and week.
I'll take a different tack responding. Your location at Haight and Laguna is actually one of the more dangerous corners of the city. If you're comfortable walking the first block in any direction from that corner, you'll do fine walking most other places.
Dress cleanly and casually for Flour & Water, Commonwealth, and Foreign Cinema if that's your mood. Dress up a bit for Coi, but tie or high heals are not needed. Prospect is not formal--no table cloths. Absinthe depends on the time of day--it gets a huge crowd pre opera and pre symphony, some of whom are in black tie. When you make your reservation, ask for a time when you won't be fighting the opera and symphony crowds if you want to have the time to enjoy your meal, and the opportunity to eat a meal from a kitchen that isn't hopelessly swamped.
Foreign Cinema
2534 Mission St., San Francisco, CA 94110
re: SteveG
That's the most dangerous corner in the city? Really? I can't say I've walked that exact corner, but I've been within one block on each side several times, and the nabe seems fine. 6th between mission and market I've witnessed several fights, and there are some alleys off O'Farrell I wouldn't walk down at night.
re: bbulkow
I wouldn't park my car or walk around with a full wallet near either intersection. Or Leavenworth and Market. or 16th and Mission.
re: bbulkow
Not the most dangerous, but Haight from Webster to Buchanan is a place where I keep my eyes and ears open. It's much better down toward Laguna--sorry to the original poster, but I was off by a block, and sometimes in San Francisco one block makes all the difference.
I live across Market Street about 3 blocks from where you will be staying. It is generally safe to walk around there at any reasonable hour from say 6am to 2am. Basically you are in between the lower haight, Hayes Valley and further away Church/Mid-Market area and the 16th Street part of the Mission. We access the street car to go up to the Castro or downtown/ferry building. I wouldn't walk up Haight at night because of the hill and housing project on the way, albeit much improved to the previous version. There is a bus though. If you like German food/Beer I would recommend SuppenKuchen in Hayes Valley. Skip Sushi Delight and go to Sushi Zone across the street if you go right when it opens, its tiny but great. Morning spots you might want to hit are Blue Bottle Cafe/Garage, terra bakery, delesio sp? and Mission Creek. Martuni's is great, after 2 martinis all the above info won't matter too much. Sorry about the spelling its late, ask if you need more info...
Have you considered combining Muni with walking? that's what we usually do. It's faster, cheaper, and hassle free. The Haight/Laguna location has good transit. If it gets too late when we finish dinner, we would take a cab home. I've never had a problem getting the restaurant to call a cab after dinner unless it's in a very busy area on a very busy night (ie, mission or castro gay pride weekend).
In terms of places to try, I'll add a couple of Italian places to your list: Perbacco and SPQR. Very different but we love both.

but you have to spend points on your main set first, and there's going to be a cap on how many points you can get per week of the higher tier gear. For someone like me that tries to keep up two complete sets of gear, it's hard to do now, and one is almost always lagging behind the other. Without being able to kill things in both 10's & 25's, my off-set is going to lag even further behind, which will be bad.

LOVED the concert! GREAT Big Band sounds! Beautiful, balmy summer evening at the Bowl in LA. My favorite big band is the Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band. Pure swingin' class act, for sure!
One of the most innovative and influential figures in 20th century music passed away on January 6, 1993, at the age of 75. Years later, some of his closest musical disciples continue to celebrate the master's classic compositions – and his enduring spirit. *
The Dizzy Gillespie All Star Big Band*, a veritable who's who among players, was formed in the summer of 1998 to perform Dizzy Gillespie's classic big band repertoire and continue the wonderful jazz legacy left by the late John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie. The band is comprised of many Gillespie Alumni including his closest collaborator James Moody, his former musical director Slide Hampton, Jimmy Heath, Claudio Roditi, Antonio Hart, Douglas Purviance, and executive director John Lee, Gillespie's longtime bassist. Roy Hargrove, Paquito D'Rivera, Frank Wess, and Randy Brecker frequently appear with the band when schedules permit.
The arrangements written for Gillespie's big bands may be vintage, many of them come from the mid 1940s to the mid '50s, but they can hardly be described as "old" or "dated." They continue to stimulate and challenge jazz musicians just as they continue to dazzle and delight audiences the world over. Some written by Gillespie himself, others commissioned by Dizzy from among such distinguished arrangers as Quincy Jones, Gil Fuller, Ernie Wilkins, Tadd Dameron, and Benny Golson. New arrangements are being contributed by two-time Grammy-winner for arranging, musical director Slide Hampton, Jimmy Heath, and Dennis Mackrel.
*James Moody *has captivated audiences since he first came on the jazz scene in the mid-1940s when he joined Dizzy Gillespie's ground-breaking orchestra. In 1949 Moody moved to Europe and recorded his masterpiece "Moody's Mood for Love," one of jazz's iconic solos. The saxophonist returned to the U.S. in 1952, leading his own groups and also reuniting with Gillespie in the 1960s.
You've got to wonder what kind of musician would even think to take a 19-piece band into the studio and out on the road, especially with the nation's current economic condition, That kind of musician would be Roy Hargrove, the veteran jazz trumpeter and composer whose first big band album, _Emergence _(Groovin' High/Emarcy), is released August 25th. "At this point this is probably the worst thing I could ever do, financially speaking," admits Hargrove. "But it's something that needs to be done, spiritually and musically speaking."
Roberta Gambarini's_ Easy to Love_ was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2007 in the Best Jazz Vocal Album category (along with albums by Karrin Allyson, Nancy King, Diana Krall, and Nancy Wilson). Roberta's "formidable talent" (DownBeat Magazine) has also garnered her wins as the 2007 Female Jazz Singer of the Year from the Jazz Journalists Association (JJA) and as the 2007 Talent Deserving Wider Recognition from DownBeat Magazine's Annual Critics Poll. Roberta was recently voted Rising Star Female Vocalist of the Year in 2008 DownBeat Critics Poll, and released a new album, So in Love.
Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band*, an 18-piece jazz ensemble, celebrates and personifies the best of the big band tradition with a very contemporary and original sound. Through the writing genius of Gordon Goodwin, SRO audiences have enjoyed one of the most craftsman-like hard swinging large jazz ensembles comprised of L.A.'s finest musicians. Gordon's witty and insightful arrangements propel the listener on a journey through a myriad of styles: Latin, blues, swing, classical, hard-hitting jazz, and even an homage to Looney Tunes! Gordon is a Grammy- and multiple Emmy award-winner for his composing and arranging, and the Big Phat Band has four Grammy-nominated albums.
