- Get the gnocchi!!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 9/29/2014Great food and great service. High quality seafood and oysters were awesome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good little placeGoodfoodDined on 9/22/2014It was very nice little place for a dinner for two. Great food, excellent service and romantic atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic meal!yummmDined on 9/19/2014Cioppino, crabcakes, and martini are among the best of these dishes that we have ever tasted anywhere! Caesar salad and Zeppole were very good. Stracciatella gelato was good but not up to the standards of the rest of the meal. On tap IPOs were great! Will definitely be back.Special Features:
- Very Pleasurable Evening ExperiencePF2319Dined on 9/19/2014Had a reservation on a Friday night, and they were able to accommodate our late arrival. Service was prompt, and we were able to finish well in time for a show we were going to, and the staff worked with our schedule. I had the ahi tuna dish, which I thought was very flavorful, and my wife had the salmon dish, which she thought was fabulous. We shared a ceviche appetizer, which was unique and also good. Recommend to sit near the back of the restaurant if you prefer it to be a little quieter. Prices were reasonable and they had a decent wine selection. Overall, a very pleasant experience.Special Features:
- Wonderful LunchKNW9VIPDined on 9/18/2014Three gal friends try to get together for lunch at least every two months. This is out go-to place. They have a seasonal salad that is out of this world. This time of year it is the Wild Salmon Salad. Absolutely delicious - every single bite. One of my friends had the heirloom tomato salad and loved it. This is just about the end of the heirloom season, however. Perfect place to gather for a great lunch, especially when you don't have much more than an hour for lunch. The noise level was higher than we remembered the last few times. We will always go back here.Special Features:
- Nice restaurantJeanPhilippeDined on 9/15/2014Good cooking, but not chef quality. Though the price would suggest
- Hidden gemTree68Dined on 9/13/2014Couldn't have gotten a meal any better. Salmon I had was perfectly cooked and excellently seasoned. My wife's trout was perfect as well. She said her mashed potatoes were the best she ever had. Great compliment from an Irish woman. When in town do not miss this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- open tablestephenVIPDined on 9/12/2014Open Table is a great way to find good restaurants when you are visiting a city for the first time, and Georges was no exception as the evening was a nice way to start our first meal in San FranciscoSpecial Features:
- Fantastic ServiceSunnyVIPDined on 9/12/2014We had a wonderful meal. The cioppino was amazing and my husband loved the oyster selection.Special Features:
- Fav in SFJeffVIPDined on 9/9/2014I have been to George's three times in the past two years. Great vibe, solid service, and excellent food. The food is innovative, the wait staff knowledgeable, and management is present at the restaurant. Solid bar as well! Not a very big place, so you are better off with four or less in your party.Special Features:
- Amazing service and food!princesspigDined on 9/6/2014Georges was an amazing find! My girlfriends and I had a night out in the city and I found Georges through the internet on top 10 spots for seafood. I am so happy I decided to book because the food was amazing and the service was too! Thank you to the owner for taking care good care of us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Was a great lunchHappyDinerVIPDined on 9/2/2014And I'd love to give it a try for dinner. Awesome Ono ceviche!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great seafood!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/30/2014We had the trout and tuna, both were delicious. Our waitress was friendly and made excellent recommendations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mouth Watering ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014I'm still thinking about how amazing the food was. It was the first time I agreed to try pate with my Wife. She loves it and I never liked it as a kid. To settle an age old, 'try it again argument,' I did. It was incredible! We had to have dessert to top it off. It was fun to get warm, fresh donuts (and chocolate sauce) after a gourmet meal. 5 Stars!Special Features:
- Food good; very loudSparjoeVIPDined on 8/20/2014The food, in our case the trout, was tasty and cooked appropriately, but nothing exceptional. One party had the scallops and thought they were excellent. Noise level was so loud as to be distracting from the meal, and we sat in a back corner. Probably the relatively stark walls had something to do with that. Service was very good.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014This place is great! From the owner to the meals to the send off! We will be back!Special Features:
- A great find!MmarcusVIPDined on 8/14/2014I have only been here twice and both times it was fantastic. The restaurant focuses on seafood. The fish tacos and tuna meatball pasta were both excellent. The dishes are creative, high quality & reasonably priced. I recommend this restaurant 100% and will be returning soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/9/2014Service and the food was very good, we especially enjoyed their specialized gin and tonics! Smaller portion options allowed me to try more things on the menu and satisfied our seafood craving. We went on a weekend night, and we loved that there was free/accessible street parking everywhere.Special Features:
- A real findjaniDined on 8/7/2014Friendly and fun with great food! We tried this place because it touted organic and sustainable fare. It was a pleaseant surprise-nothing stuffy or presumptuous about the staff and the food was wonderful. We've already recommended Georges to friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tried something newpfoxsfVIPDined on 7/30/2014Had the salmon, avocado and butter lettuce salad - great meal for a warm day. dressed perfectly and paired nicely with a little bubbly. The noise level is pretty unbearable during the lunch rush but worth it for the consistently excellent food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!MsPickyDined on 7/22/2014I had the Idaho trout (second time) and it was delicious, served with mashed potatoes and spinach--wanted to lick the plate clean! Incredible. Service was perfect--there when we needed him, yet not interrupting us every 5 minutes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Downtown SF GemOndinaDined on 7/17/2014The food was delicious, fresh and healthy. We are foodies but also health nuts and this place satisfied both..; ) The service was excellent. We arrived tired and hungry and left pleasantly surprised at how rejuvenated we felt. This place is a must!Special Features:
- disappointed dinerlsw123Dined on 7/16/2014Had an early lunch with my husband to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. While food was fine and personnel was friendly, our waitress was not. She seemed to be rushing us out of the restaurant even though there were empty tables around us. In fact, she didn't even ask if we want any desserts, which we were looking forward to. She just gave us the check as we barely finished our meals without even asking if everything was ok or if we want anything else. Needless to say, we just left and gave minimal tip due to the lack of service and abrupt demeanor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- George's was a good place to visitCynsf1VIPDined on 6/27/2014A friend of mine took our office mate out to lunch because she was retiring. We were served immediately and did not feel at all rushed. The service was good, the food was also good, so I recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place to have a casual lunch.Special Features:
- $20 corkage, great service and foodMagnamosaDined on 6/10/2014visited this spot during DAT and it was our favorite of the 4 restaurants we tried.. Service and food were great! started with a racer 5 beer from san diego which you don't see everywhere and is delish. appy's were the grilled artichoke special and ono ceviche both very good but the choke was undercooked a bit. it was replaced quickly and without question. mains were tuna and scallops both melt in your mouth. dessert was their homemade hot sugar donuts which were plenty to share and oh so delicious. liked the atmosphere and vibe of the place and will be back.Special Features:
- uvuuvuVIPDined on 6/7/2014The specials (the cioppina and pizza) were really tasty. Perfect. Everything else we ordered was really salty and pretty inedible. The mixed drink I ordered (blueberry bubbles) was nothing special but wasn't bad; it was decent. Service was also spotty. The pizza came out but the waitress didn't provide us with any fresh clean plates.
- The following 511 reviews are from the Georges reviews archive.
- A little loud, but food is great!!!TordlesDined on 5/28/2014Good is great, however, ambientusic a little loud and tabling should feel a little ore exclusiveSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedJML228VIPDined on 5/27/2014The concierge at our nearby hotel recommended the restaurant as a good place for fresh seafood. Found the menu extremely limited with not much variety. The ambience was just OK. Very loud in spite of being small. The food was tasty but not well presented.
- luvsgoodfoodluvsgoodfoodDined on 5/27/2014We had an early lunch and it was wonderful. We had the trout and the tacos and both were excellent. Our server was very efficient and very pleasant. The decor is modern but comfortable although by the time we left it had gotten quite noisy. We will be going back for lunch again to try other dishes.Special Features:
- Great experienceMickeyVIPDined on 5/24/2014Met cousins for dinner. They eat here often. Everything was delicious and the service was attentive.Special Features:
- Good for seafood.FalconVIPDined on 5/22/2014First time. Food and service was good, but a bit on the noisy side.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Date Night SpotGinamarieDined on 5/16/2014We had dinner here on a Friday night and found that it was crazy crowded like much of the FiDi at that time. We loved the grilled artichoke and the ono ceviche. The house made tonic paired with any of the locally produced gins is a must try! Service was nice but a little slow--I think we were "out of sight, out of mind" since we opted to sit outside. Would come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Delicious and AiryeatingoutismyhobbyDined on 5/16/2014I love how George's is open and airy. The ceilings are high and the kitchen is in full view of the restaurant. Great lunch menu with lots of delicious seafood options. I will definitely be back for the happy hour ($1.50 fresh oysters).Special Features:
- Food is GreatOlinecoachDined on 5/14/2014I have been to Georges a couple of times now and each time, I have enjoyed my meal. So did my guests. The service was wonderful and I would highly recommend this restaurant for your next lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-show DiningEastBayExplorerDined on 5/13/2014We went to Georges before a performance at the Eureka Theatre. Service was outstanding, and the wild King salmon and the scallops for our two entrees were delicious, as was our Caesar salad to start. Easy walking distance from Embarcadero BART and the theater.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not for foodiesTropicalVIPDined on 5/12/2014This restaurant is one of the worst I went in the last 10 years! First when I looked online there are completely other offers then on the menue in the restaurant. The starter was greezy and not good. The fish I had was burned and completely over salted! The sauce was one of the worst I ever had and the only positiv part was the decoration. The atmosphere is not great and the kitchen is to close yo the table. The wine was so so and the overall price is far to high depending on the quality. Overall my stomach was not doing great after the visit. Never again.Special Features:
- consistent and welcomingquietdinerVIPDined on 5/8/2014This is my go to spot when I go to lunch. The tables are a bit close but the food and welcoming atmosphere make up for that. Everyone from the cooks behind the line to the host at the front always seem happy to see you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- awesome and unexpected jewelOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 5/2/2014Kaitlyn was superb! The food was remarkable and some of the best dishes the whole table could remember. We had wild King salmon, duck breast, pizza and trout along with polenta calamari and Ahi tuna. The cocktails were great and the staff was all very accommodating. A++
- Delicious Dinner!ann307Dined on 4/28/2014The food was very good at Georges. The service was terrible. The noise level was really loud. It was very hard to hear what anyone was saying. I would recommend it only for the food, not the service or ambience.Special Features:
- Delicious SeafoodMrsjDined on 4/26/2014Had a wonderful dinner. The oyster shooters & the Ono ceviche started us off well. I had a delicious Salmon & my husband had scallops. All if this topped off with great gun drinks (my drink if choice) & housemade tonic! Will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

EL PASO — County commissioners approved a cost of living increase in Monday's meeting.
Current county workers will get a one point seven percent increase while retirees will get a two percent increase.

Teenage figure skater Gracie Gold won her first U.S. Figure Skating Championship on Saturday night, after a near flawless performance on the ice. While she certainly has the name that seems suited for the Olympics, many believe that the 18 year old could live up to her last name in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
NBC Olympic analyst and former U.S. figure skater Scott Hamilton was talking with Matt Lauer on the TODAY show, when he said that Gold may have a real shot to stand at the top of the podium next month in Russia.
"Realistically, I think she has a chance for a medal,'' Hamilton said.
"We are going to be in Russia against a couple of strong Russian skaters, but she's got everything. She's got the triple-triple combination, [and] she's got great presence on the ice. The new coaching relationship she has with Frank Carroll has given her another level of maturity, so she's doing everything right to put herself in position to medal at Sochi."
Last year, Gold finished second place in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, but her obvious strides forward have momentum in her corner heading in to the Winter Games.
If she can continue to roll and put her grace on display in front of the judges next month, she could be one of the favorites to add a top medal to the United States medal count.

Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss central bankers and governments from Iceland to Argentina attempting to tilt the global pinball game so that the ball goes in the 'right' hole while 'invincibility' tattoos fail to protect from the guns and knives of financial weapons in the real world. In the second half, Max Keiser talks to Tuur Demeester of Macrotrends.be about the recent report from the European Central Bank suggesting they are concerned about the new breed of decentralized digital currencies threatening their seignorage rights. They also discuss the financial jungle of Argentina where capital controls and economic chaos prove a great testing ground for new currencies.

If you have problems connecting to the network or accessing the Internet, see Why can't I connect to a network?
or Why can't I connect to the Internet?
To access shared files and printers on your network, you first need to enable file and printer sharing. The easiest way to do this is by creating or joining a homegroup.
When you set up a computer with this version of Windows, a homegroup is created automatically. But you can also create a homegroup by following these steps:
Open Network and Sharing Center by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type network, and then click Network and Sharing Center.
Click Choose homegroup and sharing options.
Follow the instructions to create or join a homegroup.
If your computer belongs to a domain, you won't be able to share files and printers with a homegroup, but you can still access files and printers shared by others.
Homegroups are not available in Windows Server 2008 R2.
We recommend that you use a homegroup to share files and printers because it's a much easier way to set up sharing. For more information, see the "Use a homegroup to share files and printers" section above.
If your network is listed as a Public network, click Public network, and then click either Home network or Work network.
If your computer running Windows 7 is joined to a domain, you probably won't be able to change the network location to Home or Work. In that case, click Change advanced sharing settings in the left pane and make sure the following options are turned on:
Network discovery (see Enable or disable network discovery
File sharing
Public folder sharing (if you want to share files using your Public Documents, Public Music, Public Pictures, and Public Videos folders)
Printer sharing
To use password-protected sharing, you must have exactly the same user accounts and passwords on both computers. This is usually not the case if you are using a work laptop and a home computer. (The password-protected sharing option is not available on domain networks.)
To use a printer that's connected to a home computer from your laptop, first turn on network discovery (if the printer is attached to a computer running Windows 7), and then make sure that the printer is shared.
Log on to a computer that's part of your home network and is connected to the printer.
Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button , and then, on the Start menu, clicking Devices and Printers.
Right-click the printer you want to share, click Printer properties, and then click the Sharing tab.
If the printer is shared, Share this printer will be selected. If it's not selected, click Share this printer, and then click OK.
To use a shared printer, you need to add the printer to your laptop.
Open the Add Printer wizard by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware and Sound, clicking Printers, and then clicking Add a printer.
Select Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
You can share files and folders in two ways: through simple file sharing—putting the files or folders into a common shared folder, or in-place file sharing—marking individual files or folders to be shared without moving them from their current location.
If any of your home computers are running a version of Windows XP earlier than Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2), you must upgrade them before you can set up sharing.
Run the Network Setup wizard on each home computer, if you haven't already done so.
When prompted, choose to enable file sharing. This creates a Shared Documents folder on each computer. Files in this folder are accessible to anyone on your network.
To open the Shared Documents folder, click Start, click My Documents, and then click Shared Documents.
In Windows XP, you can't share individual files. You have to share the entire folder. To share folders and their contents without moving them into the Shared Documents folder, go to the location containing the folder that you want to share, right-click the folder, and then click Sharing and Security. Click the Sharing tab, click Share this folder, and then click Apply.
The Shared Documents folder has been replaced with the Public folder in Windows Vista.
Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open files
Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change, and create files
Click Apply.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Files in the Public folder are now accessible to anyone on your network.
To open the Public folder, follow these steps: In the Documents folder, click the arrow next to Folders at the bottom of the left pane, and then click Public.
To share files or folders without moving them into this folder, go to the location containing the file or folder that you want to share, right-click the file or folder, click
Share, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
The Public folder has been replaced with individual Public folders for each type of file (Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos) in Windows 7.
Open Advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click Network and Sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click Change advanced sharing settings.
Under Public folder sharing, click one of the following options:
Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the Public folders
Turn off Public folder sharing (people logged onto this computer can still access these folders)
Click Save changes.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Files in the Public folders are now accessible to anyone on your network.
To open the Public folders, follow these steps:
Double-click the Documents, Pictures, Music, or Videos folder, and then double-click Public Documents, Public Pictures, Public Music, or Public Videos.
To share files or folders without moving them into a Public folder, go to the location containing the file or folder that you want to share, right-click the file or folder, click
Share, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
Before you can access another network computer, you need to know its name.
Open System by clicking the Start button , right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.
The name appears under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings.
To access files on a home computer, you can either log on as a guest (this means you will only have access to files in the Public folders), or, if you have a user account on that computer, you can log on using your account. For more information about user accounts, see User accounts: frequently asked questions. To access another computer, follow these steps:
Open Network by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type network, and then, under Network and Sharing Center, click View network computers and devices.
If you have a homegroup, double-click Homegroup, and then double-click the computer you want to access.
If you don't have a homegroup, double-click a computer's icon to see the files and folders that you have access to.
If your user name and password for the computer you are currently logged on to are different from those for the computer that you are trying to access, you might be prompted to enter your logon information.
If the other computer is set up to allow access to anyone on the network, you will be automatically connected to it but you will only have guest access. This means that you will only have access to files in the Public folders. You can automatically connect to another computer on the network using your logon information by storing your passwords. For more information, see Store passwords, certificates, and other credentials for automatic logon.
Double-click the icon for your laptop.
When you are prompted to log on, type your work domain and user name, separated by a backward slash (for example: domain\username), and then type the password you use to log on at work.
A folder containing the shared files and folders on the laptop will open.

Help us choose the Bell's General Store's next hop variety (poll)
We have an open spot for a new hop variety at the Bell's General Store and we want you to help us choose which one to offer.
Below are the descriptions for each, along with a poll to vote for your favorite.
Voting will close on Tuesday, May 29 at 10 a.m.
MILLENNIUM: A triploid, high alpha acid variety with Nugget as the mother with a mild herbal aroma. Used for ales, stouts and barley wines.
ZYTHOS™: A proprietary hop blend created to embody the powerful tradition and aroma you expect from your finest ales and IPA brews. With a targeted brewing value of 11.9% alpha and 5.0% beta, ZYTHOS™ is an IPA style blend created to optimize and exceed the aroma characteristics you require. ZYTHOS™ is not a replacement for proprietary varieties, but rather a premium pellet blend that will compliment your current IPA and Pale Ale brews.
This hop was also used in our Experimental Hop Series at the Eccentric Cafe.
MOTEUKA: An excellent hop in many applications from first kettle additions through to late gift. This hop offers a unique aroma and flavor making it suitable for producing bigger, more traditional style Lagers, especially a Bohemian Pilsener. Excellent when employed in multiple additions from a single hop bill and sits well on the palate to balance specialty malt sweetness. An excellent variety for Belgian Ales and gives a real edge to Cask Bitter.
PACIFIC JADE: Suited for use as a bittering hop with some excellent results also seen in dual purpose applications, with a soft bitterness attributable to the low cohumulone. The citrus aroma and flavor notes work well to temper malt sweetness in "fullish" Ales especially when used moderately as a finishing hop. Pacific Jade is also well suited to balance dryer Lager styles when employed as an "up-front" kettle addition to showcase its bittering qualities.
STYRIAN AURORA: Moderate-alpha with powerful hoppy aroma, very versatile - try in US, Belgian or English ales.
New homebrewing gear: Stainless steel strainer with fine, coarse filter
This new addition to the Bell's General Store is a stainless steel 2-stage strainer that offers a course filter and a fine filter.
The course filter basket easily removes for easy cleaning and the entire unit is adjustable to fit over nearly any sized bucket.
Cost is $34.
This item is currently only available at the General Store in downtown Kalamazoo.
Call 269-382-5712 for more information.

I really enjoyed all the period French outfits on half the people I didn't know, however the other half that I did know were really spot-on. The 10 min. light and mirror show in the beginning was cool....WDG from New York

Elizabeth T E
I made friends real and wax while I was at Grevin.
I liked it but I did not know most of the people there.
Caleb W
We had a slight problem gaining access to the museum, as a Bollywood star had been inducted that day and there was a lot of security only letting the media in. Nevertheless, we gained entry four hours later and had a good time.
Orla D
It was very good to see all the different people in France. I enjoyed it.

Do it if you have a lengthy stay as it will takeup half of your day, in searching and commuting...the 10 min show was good...

Made in the USAEvery White's metal detector is made by American workers in Sweet Home, Oregon.
Quality, performance, and customer service: the White's commitment, since 1950.
White's Electronics,
I have been thinking of getting a White's Dual Field, so a friend of mine let me borrow his. I went out on the neg. low tide to an old beach in the Boston, MA. area and started hunting in the waist to chest deep water.
I was getting lots of heavy lead targets, nickel's and a couple silver coins...but then came this 1929 "GIRLS CATHOLIC HIGH" class ring. I re-searched the school and found out it closed in 1932 when it became "MALDEN CATHOLIC HIGH".
So far in the few hunts with the Dual Field I have found the gold class ring, silver rings, silver coins, V-Nickel's, 1875 Shield Nickel, wheat pennies and many old bullets. I have hunted with many different detectors in the wet sand and water and nothing I have ever used or seen used goes as deep as the Dual Field! As soon as I save up the funds I will be ordering one!! Thanks White's for another great detector.

Colquitt EMC employees are warning their customers to watch out for scammers posing as employees to collect payments and account information over the phone.
For the past two weeks imposters have been telling customers that their bills are past due and if they don't pay up, their services will be discontinued.
"The cutoff date is listed on the bill and they are required to pay that money before they cutoff date. If they don't by the cutoff date we do send a representative out to the home to either leave a note or disconnect the power," said Joni Fox.
Joni Fox doesn't know how scammers got members' numbers or who the scammers are. Colquitt EMC says they'll never ask for payments over the phone. They want you to alert EMC if you think something is wrong.
"Luckily that have hung up and called, which we urge our customers to do. If you're unsure of the identity of the caller to please hang up and call Colquitt EMC, said Joni Fox.
Colquitt EMC provides services in seven counties and they're unsure how many people are affected.
The last reported scam call was Friday. So far, no customers have fallen for the scam, but they still need to be on the lookout.
"Some of them that are unsure and worried that it's gonna be disconnected and want to avoid that. They are calling to make sure their account is paid up," said Joni Fox.
Members can call themselves to pay for services over the phone. They can also pay on the Colquitt EMC website, but the utility will never call and ask for a phone payment.

CDBO Certificate of Occupancy
The State Fire Marshal Certificate of Occupancy is often the critical-path milestone for the occupancy of a project. The SFM Certificate of Occupancy, albeit important, is but one component of code compliance. Access compliance, DOSH permits, Health Department approvals, etc. must all be in place in order for project operations and occupancy to lawfully occur.
The CDBO has the responsibility to coordinate and confirm all required approvals. Once this is complete the CDBO issues a CSU Certificate of Occupancy confirming code compliance.
CBSC Appendix Chapter 1, administration, Section 110 Certificate of Occupancy has been adopted as policy under SUAM Section XI. The above is provided as a summary of requirements. See Section 110 for full wording.
CSU Code Compliance Accountability
Per Executive Order 666 the campus president is responsible for ensuring that campus physical development is in compliance with all applicable statutes and regulations and policies of the Board of Trustees. Authority under this Executive Order may be revoked in whole or part if the campus president or designee has not complied substantially with the provisions of this Executive Order.

I went to Diva after dropping boys at school and did pressures on all 4 and finished airing. He put the big compressor in the truck. Diva has her dads black thumb when it comes to cars. If it can break it will. she just has no luck
Now I am at work. We are both exhausted. We don't go to bed til about midnight as it is.

|Fri, 09-21-2012 - 8:25am
I am going to celebrate by getting things done, lol.
I need to write a newsletter article, practice piano, and tackle the RIF closet.
I was going to go get more hours at the Botanic Center as they are setting up the Gardeners Showhouse (Greenhouse off to teh side of the main dome) as an Italy display, but I need to get a handle on the RIF thing, so that comes first. By that time they'll have gone home.
Hoping to get a few more things done this afternoon, but we'll tick them off as I go. Mira & I will go watch Sarah's volleyball scrimmages afterschool, Natasha is walking home with a friend who is spending the night (with a stop at the coffee shop on the way, of course). Taco soup is back on the menu.
|Fri, 09-21-2012 - 10:37am
Woke up with a terrible sinus headache, took meds, and went back to bed. DH took the girls to school and let me sleep. I just got up.
I sent an email to work that I was not feeling well and would work some from home. I think I am going to set my timer and just alternate doing some things: work, house stuff, scrappy planning. And take a nap if I feel like it. The headache is not entirely gone, but much better.
Probably need to start with having some breakfast and getting supper in the crockpot.
|Fri, 09-21-2012 - 10:40am
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Wish that the sinus junk would just leave us all alone.

Geoffrey Rivett
Often a crucial report crystallises existing thinking and developments. If that is the case with the Royal College of Physicians' Future Hospital Commission's report, patients may be able to look forward to significant improvements in hospital care.
As a health service historian I am fascinated by the 'big ideas' that colour thinking about our health service system. The first is that of the 'system' itself, the way in which over 200 years hospitals have progressively given up rugged independence to act as...
Vidhya Alakeson
Starting in April 2014 the 56,000 people eligible for NHS continuing health care will be offered a personal health budget. Positive results from an independent evaluation of a three-year pilot programme provided sufficient evidence to take the approach forward.
However, while the pilot programme has generated a lot of knowledge about how best to implement personal health budgets, important questions about how they can be sustained in the wider NHS are raised by next year's roll out. These will need careful consideration as the roll...
Emma Churchill
Today we publish our response to the Care Quality Commission's (CQC) consultation on changes to the way it inspects, regulates and monitors care services: A New Start.
Our response builds on the findings from our review of provider ratings, commissioned by the Secretary of State for Health, as well as drawing on the expertise of various members of our team with a past in regulation.
Dr Jennifer Dixon CBE
It is clear that Jeremy Hunt does not want to take on the role of Secretary of State for Health as envisaged by Andrew Lansley, and as designed in the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
Confined to public health, focused on health outcomes, and at arm's length from the NHS through the annual mandate – this was never going to work under normal circumstances, never mind when an election is looming and with the budget settlement for the NHS as it is.
The Secretary of State will want to direct and...
Tim Kelsey
You attend a hospital with your disabled daughter. You do this pretty much every day because your daughter has regular seizures and emergencies. Every time, you have to start all over again because the hospital doesn't know who your daughter is. More paperwork.
Then you wait and wait because the staff have to find a hoist to lift your child out of her wheelchair onto a bed. Why couldn't you have called in advance to tell them she was coming? Hours and hours of waiting.
This is the NHS in the experience of one mother I met recently: everyday indignities and inhumanities and, in...
Holly Holder
Much has been written about the current pressures facing primary care. Perhaps it seems fairly predictable therefore, to hear that many GPs are finding it difficult to engage with the clinical commissioning opportunity.
But unfortunately for CCG leaders working hard to increase involvement, it is the support and involvement from members that provides one of their greatest potential assets.
So how big do GPs think the challenge is ahead? New research, along with a growing body of evidence, may provide a few tips.
Dr Judith Smith
Looking back over recent blogs about primary care written by Jonathan Tomlinson, Clare Gerada, John Macaskill-Smith and Helen Parker, three things stand out.
First, there is consensus that general practice is under significant pressure, struggling to meet demand from patients, blamed for contributing to the alleged crisis in accident and emergency care, and exhorted to reassume responsibility for out-of-hours patient care.
Second, the 'special sauce' of general practice – the relationship between a patient and their family...
Jeremy Taylor
We are in danger of losing our collective nerve over the future of the NHS. In 1948, in the midst of austerity and post-war national exhaustion, Britain created a comprehensive health service which offered care to those who needed it regardless of their means.
It was a courageous idea whose time had come and it made compelling economic, political and social sense. It still does.
In 2013 our far richer country can and should continue to embrace Aneurin Bevan's vision. Of course we face very different...
Dr Jonathon Tomlinson
I have lived and worked as a GP in densely populated urban areas for the last 12 years and so I read with interest and dismay, Neil Bacon's enthusiasm for the findings of the Competition and Cooperation Panel's so-called: Empirical analysis of the effects of GP competition.
This showed that GPs with neighbouring practices less than 500 metres away made fewer referrals for certain conditions and had patients who were 0.1 per cent more satisfied than patients from...
Dr Clare Gerada
The NHS is struggling and general practice is one area bearing the brunt of the pressure to meet increasing, and changing, patient needs.
We have a growing and ageing population in the UK. From a GP's point of view, we are seeing more patients than ever before, making up to 70 patient contacts a day, which previously would have only been seen in exceptional circumstances, such as a flu pandemic.
And these patients are often presenting with complex, chronic and multiple conditions, both physical and mental.
Additionally, another round of...
Nicholas Timmins
Tender, fragile, fragmented, strained, vulnerable. In disarray. At a cross-roads. These are just some of the words used by key contributors to the Nuffield Trust's latest publication: The wisdom of the crowd: 65 views of the NHS at 65.
The service has never been particularly good at celebrating its big anniversaries. The tenth, in 1958, was pretty much all sweetness and light. But most of the others – from the 20th through to the 50th – were overshadowed by one crisis or another, by a sense of foreboding, or by both.
By contrast, the 60th, back...
Professor Dame Carol Black
It appears that the founding principles and aspirations of the NHS remain largely intact, but they are under great and increasing strain. This relates in part – but only in part – to increasing demands and costs brought about by demographic change, high expectations and new therapeutic opportunities offered by technological advance.
But these factors are not the sole cause, nor in the views of patients, public and staff are they the most important.
As the Francis Inquiry – the latest of several into shameful events – has so painfully shown, unless...
Anita Charlesworth
The Chancellor announced the outcome of the 2013 Spending Review yesterday. He confirmed that the NHS has been spared the full force of Government cuts for another year. The health budget is rising in headline terms by just 0.1 per cent after inflation. As expected, part of the health budget is earmarked to be transferred to social care.
This continues the precedent established in the 2010 Spending Review which set aside money each year for...
Dr Phillip Lee MP
If we stand back now, the NHS may tip over the edge of its own 'fiscal cliff'. Future health care services face serious challenges such as changing demographics (particularly ageing), increasing obesity levels and rising costs of new treatments and medicine.
To do nothing about the increasing demands being placed upon the system would be a political mistake.
I believe that the current infrastructure, and the widespread and relatively unchallenged acceptance of a service funded solely by the taxpayer, will lead to poorer patient outcomes than we should...
Dr John Pugh MP
Clinicians and health service administrators can often identify ways of reconfiguring services, particularly hospital services. These reconfigurations usually appear to deliver improved outcomes but prove hard to sell to a sceptical public. On these occasions, local politicians are urged to be brave and support such moves.
All too often though, the politician is found fanning the flames of popular discontent and those inside the NHS look upon them with varying degrees of sympathy, bewilderment, despair or contempt. The situation is actually made worse if health insiders believe that...
Rt Hon Stephen Dorrell MP
The litany of challenges facing hospitals is by now familiar: rising demand, spending restraint, making the best use of new technologies, and finding ways to adjust the acute sector to a world of chronic illness.
A service that has struggled to make progress on productivity for decades now faces a future in which there will be no alternative but to make steady efficiency improvements, year on year, while at the same time maintaining a level of quality upon which vulnerable people depend.
The task is daunting, but I remain an...
Joan Costa-Font
Long-term services and support (LTSS) primarily refers to personal care services that include home help, care in nursing homes and assisted living, as well as day care.
Of the 13 million Americans that need long-term care, only 13 per cent have received help in paying for these services. The situation is set to become even more challenging, as the proportion of Americans over the age of 65 is...
A week after the Government's integrated care pioneer programme kicked off, the evaluation of North West London's integrated care pilot was published. The ingredients of the pilot were sensible, for example: investment in IT, risk stratification and targeting of high risk patients, leadership, coordination of multidisciplinary groups, and project management.
The results so far: high commitment by professionals; greater collaborative working across teams and with social...
Dr Neil Bacon
I once worked with a consultant who had an uncanny ability to extract the truth from his junior staff. When he suspected dubious information (such as "I'm sure the patient had a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)") he'd say, "Is that a guess, rumour, fact or lie?"
Of course, he did it in such an intimidating manner that the answer was clear by the blood draining from the face of the poor, unfortunate wretch who didn't have all the information to hand.
The current debate about the absolute need to reorganise and improve the NHS often reminds me of that consultant's total...
Helen Parker
General practice seems to be considered by politicians and the media as both the cause of and solution to the current crisis in demand for urgent and emergency care.
At the same time, the primary care community is recognising that the current business model of general practice is under threat due to increased demand by patients, growing regulatory workload and, for some this year, significantly less income.
From discussions with GPs and policy makers, there appears to be some consensus that the current 'small scale'...

Ahhh, sweet memories. From the ever-so-light green hue (the color of airy pistache macrons, sweet and creamy cool spumoni, ice box key lime pie) to the perfectly sheer tulle inspired floral lace, this barely there triangle bra makes us think of long summer evenings, languorous dinner parties, and just desserts. And while we're busy having sweet memories, this might just be the piece to help make some new ones.

With a floating band of almost invisible mesh finished with bold piping, this classic black bikini bottom has a magic effect. Just say the magic words: Abracadabra, MOJITO!
Classic silhouette is rendered in rerfectly sheer luxurious Chantilly lace and accented with a delicate band of Swarovski crystals. Blinged out, powder sweet, and classic.
Drawing inspiration from the Queens of Versailles, the nipped waists of the Victorian age, and the peplum pin-upped hips of Vargas, this corset a gorgeous histoire indeed.

Michel Gondry turns documentary maker in this subtle, affectionate portrait of his aunt Suzette, a retired teacher who spent three decades working in rural villages across France.
Revisiting those isolated hamlets, a picture emerges of a strong, avant-garde woman fondly remembered wherever she goes, a counterpoint to Suzette's accusatory relationship with her fragile son Jean-Yves – "the thorn in my heart".
Gondry resists swamping a painful trip down memory lane with too much visual dazzle, but also overindulges in detours that make you feel you're watching a home movie.

Green Bay, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones will play in Monday's game against the Chicago Bears after sitting out the previous two weeks with a knee injury.
Jones, who has totaled 20 catches for 349 yards and two touchdowns in five outings this season, was listed as questionable coming in. The seventh-year pro has not played since hurting the knee in a Week 6 win at Baltimore.
Green Bay will continue to be without top pass rusher Clay Matthews, still sidelined with a fractured thumb sustained against Detroit on Oct. 6. Fellow outside linebacker Nick Perry is inactive as well after breaking his foot in the Baltimore game.
Tight end Jermichael Finley also remains sidelined with a spinal cord bruise suffered against Cleveland in Week 7.

Well Im pretty sure you shouldnt explode downwards.... that could be bad... especially bench and squat...
Let me clarify for some people I ment do u control it with same speed as going down as going up.
Last edited by Adam; 06-28-2007 at 05:57 PM.
I come down @ the same rate I go up...even if it is slow. Its tougher.
I could have this wrong, but I raise fast to develop speed and power, then lower slowly because that's the important part in the lift for strength/size.
Age: 34
Height: 5'5
Weight: 195
Body Fat: 30% (from an online measuring formula)
Goal: get to 170, be 15% bf or lower, and to eat a healthier diet
Power = work / time
Work = F * distance
So the faster you move the same amount of weight, the more power you get.

Here is my newly-created World of Warcraft Blog: BG's WoW Blog. Once again, feel free to stop by and comment.
I personally think you should utilize different tempos thru out your training
theres nothing wrong with controling down and exploding out of the hole(ex.20X) and there is nothing wrong with doing a set with 4sec down 1 sec pause 4 sec(414) up it will all be benificial in the end
If you want to prevail
Ignore the known road
and BlaZE your own trail
For deadlifts, I just explosively bring it up, and basically drop it after I lock out for a few seconds.
For bench, I take it slow and steady as that is the only way I feel any contraction in my chest.
For squat, I go down at a moderate pace and explode upwards.
on this psycho-workout link someone posted here the other day (where you workout twice a day for two weeks until your nearly dead, then rest for a week) the advice was to spend 4 secs going down on a squat and shoot back up. I tryed this the other night (with backsquats) and my quads almost burst (in a good way). Going down slow in a controlled manner seems very effective to me in terms of squats.
yea I always bring my squats at about 1/4 of the speed that I use to bring it up, it helps with my form and I think my body is just used to doing it that way.
