Let the Firearm Industry Pay for the Cost of Gun Violence
If gun purchasers had to pick up a share of the cost of gun violence, the gun industry would be motivated to develop smart ways to reduce gun violence without interfering with lawful gun ownership.
David Brodwin is a cofounder and board member of American Sustainable Business Council. Follow him on Twitter at @davidbrodwin.
A cornerstone of capitalism is that no company gets a free ride. Each business or industry needs to charge enough to cover the full cost of its own operations. Those that can't cover their costs must (with rare exceptions) be allowed to fail. This basic law of capitalism needs to be applied to firearms.
Many industries generate costs that are not fully covered in the in the price of the product or service. These costs—called "externalities" by economists—get imposed on the public at large, unless fees are imposed to put the costs where they belong. For example, each year America spends billions to maintain and extend highways and airports so people and freight can move efficiently. And America spends billions to provide medical care to smokers with lung cancer and emphysema.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
In an efficient, well-managed economy these costs are charged back to the industries that create them. They are charged in the form of fees and taxes. Our gas taxes pay to maintain roads. Our plane tickets include a small tax to pay for airport security. Our cigarettes are taxed to cover part of the cost of smoking-related illnesses. If you want to drive, fly, or smoke you must contribute toward the total cost of these activities. This is widely accepted.
However, the firearms industry has managed to avoid picking up the tab for its externalities. A recent proposal by Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association shows the size of the problem. After the Sandy Hook school shooting, the NRA proposed that the best solution to gun violence in school is to have more guns in school. They argued that every school should post an armed guard (or several) to stop would-be shooters. Let's set aside the constitutional and practical considerations and just consider the economics of this for a moment: It would cost nearly $5 billion per year to put a trained, equipped, armed guard in each of America's 132,000 K-12 schools. That calls for a fee—let's call it the "Schools Security Fee"—of $500 to $750 for every new and used handgun purchased in the United States. The fee is roughly the cost of a typical good-quality new pistol! If imposed, it would double the price of handguns and cripple the firearm industry. Yet it's ironic that many of the folks who claim to hate taxes and government see no problem in proposing a $5 billion expansion in government, which necessitates taxes to pay for it.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gun control and gun rights.]
As an alternative to a tax on gun sales, we could pay for school security with a fee for gun ownership; each owner would have to pay about $16 per gun per year. Or we could pay a fee of one half penny for every cartridge fired, so that frequent shooters would pay more and occasional shooters would pay less. Any of these measures would raise enough to keep our K-12 schools protected and secure.
Sadly, the cost of securing schools is only a small part of the cost of gun violence. Estimates of the cost of gun violence range from $32 billion to $100 billion per year. This is actually a conservative estimate: Each year around 11,000 people are shot and killed in homicides (ignoring suicides) in the United States and most economists agree that it's fair to say an average life is worth between $3 million and $10 million in purely economic terms. If gun purchasers had to pick up even a small share of the cost of gun violence, the gun industry would be motivated to develop smart ways to reduce gun violence without interfering with lawful gun ownership and legitimate use. This would let Americans have both the safety we need and the freedom we cherish.

I would suggest you offer a way to dispose of junk or items that people throw out. It was the only thing that was truly inconvenient about your facility. Maybe you can partner with a service like 1-800-GotJunk (they take everything!) and offer it straight to your customers. So they don't have to worry about fitting junk they don't want in their cars or trucks because there is no way for you to dispose of it. Otherwise, storage was great! :)Ana Lucia from Hoboken, NJ

The staff was very helpful. I had a concern about the outdoor parking space next to mine being dirty and filled with garbage. The staff got right on it, called the client and asked for his space to be cleaned. Two weeks later it was. My only complaint is that the outside grounds are overwhelmed with overgrown grass and weeds. This needs to be addressed because there could be snakes, ticks or some danger that can not be seen when trying to get in or out of your vechicle. Not to mention that it looks awful and not a good image for Uncle Bobs.Kelly from Brewster, NY

Unofficial DataVolley Stats * Official FIVB Stats
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 6, 2011) - The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team overwhelmed Korea 25-10, 25-12, 25-13 with a 14-0 block advantage on Sunday at Nagano, Japan, to improve to 3-0 at the FIVB World Cup.
With the victory, the U.S. moved into sole possession of first place with nine points and is one of two undefeated teams (Italy is 3-0 with eight points). After a travel day from Nagano to Toyama, Japan, Team USA resumes World Cup action versus African champion Kenya on Nov. 8 at 11 a.m. Japan Time (6 p.m. PT on Nov. 7).
The FIVB World Cup is a 12-team field competing in a round-robin format resulting in 11 matches over a 15-day period. The three teams reaching the World Cup medal podium on Nov. 18 will earn berths into the 2012 Olympic Games. For the full FIVB World Cup schedule and tournament details, visit the U.S. Women's tournament event page at usavolleyball.org/events/8883.
The U.S. opened the first set with a 5-1 lead and limited Korea to only one point on its own service in cruising to a 25-10 victory. Korea managed just three kills and an ace in the opening set as its six other points were on U.S. errors. Team USA cruised to an 11-3 lead in the second set and went on to a 25-12 victory as the Americans played 10 players in the set. Korea stayed close in the third set until a 4-0 run by the Americans created a 10-4 margin and pushed the U.S. to a 25-13 victory.
"I'm very happy with today's match," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "Our team was very good today. It's important as the tournament progresses that we continue to improve with every match and I thought we did that today. Korea is a good team and can cause you a lot of problems, but our group was very focused and determined, and I thought they executed at a high level. Hopefully we can continue that as we go to the next site. Lastly, thanks to the local organizers here in Nagano. It's been great to be here and we look forward to the rest of the competition."
The U.S. had eight players reach the scoring column, including 15 points coming off the bench. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) scored five kills on eight errorless attacks, four blocks and three aces for 12 points. Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) matched her 12 points with nine kills on 14 errorless attacks and three blocks. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) contributed seven kills on 14 swings and a block for eight points. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) came off the bench to pocket six kills on 10 swings and two blocks for eight points.
Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) provided seven points on five kills and two blocks. Tayibba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) charted six points on five kills via 11 attacks and a block. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) tacked on three kills on three attacks and a block for four points. Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) rounded out the scoring with a kill.
The U.S. converted 55.4 percent of its attacks into points and produced a .500 hitting efficiency with just four attack errors (41-4-74). Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) totaled 22 assists and was named the most impressive player of the match, while Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) came in off the bench to add 10 assists. Meanwhile, Korea converted only 19.8 percent of its attacks with a negative .044 hitting efficiency (18-22-91).
"Tonight was a great night for USA Volleyball," Berg said. "We came out very determined – probably more determined than the last two nights – and came out to take care of business. I'm happy that we won tonight and happy to come out of the first leg 3-0, and we're ready to take it to the next stop and continue on this road."
Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) tallied seven excellent receptions on eight attempts for the U.S., which tallied a 58.1 excellent reception percent as a team. She added a team-high five digs, while Tom chipped in four digs.
McCutcheon started Berg at setter, Tom and Larson at outside hitter, Akinradewo and Bown at middle blocker and Hooker at opposite. Davis was the designated libero for the match. Hodge came into the match in the second set and started the third set in place of Larson. Haneef-Park subbed in the first two sets, then started in place of Hooker in the third set. Glass was a sub in all three sets, while Scott-Arruda and Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) were subs in the third set.
In addition to its 14-0 block advantage, the U.S. held a 41-18 margin in kills and 3-1 edge in aces. Team USA also managed a 19-17 advantage in digs.
Youn-Joo Hwang led Korea with six points, while Yeon-Koung Kim added five points in the loss.
Earlier today in Nagano, Serbia (2-1, 6 points) defeated Kenya (0-3, 0 points) 19-25, 25-22, 25-11, 25-11 and Brazil (2-1, 6 points) handled previously unbeaten Germany (2-1, 6 points) 25-21, 23-25, 25-23, 25-21. At Hiroshima's first-round site, Italy (3-0, 8 points) overcame a slow start to defeat Dominican Republic (1-2, 3 points) 28-26, 25-13, 25-12, Argentina (2-1, 6 points) beat Algeria (0-3, 0 points) 25-18, 25-12, 20-25, 25-16 and China rallied past host Japan 20-25, 19-25, 20-25, 25-23, 15-13.
Additional information on the U.S. Women's National Team can be found in its FIVB World Cup press kit clicking here.
The U.S. scored the first three points of the first set as Akinradewo collected back-to-back kills after a Tom spike. Team USA stretched the lead to 5-1 after Korea committed a service error and attack error prompting an early timeout. The Americans reached the first technical timeout leading 8-3 after a Hooker block and Larson kill. Out of the break, Larson hit a cross-court winner to extend the lead to 9-3. Hooker and Tom connected for consecutive kills to increase the margin to 11-4. Bown and Akinradewo combined for back-to-back kills to provide the Americans a 13-5 margin at Korea's second timeout. The U.S. scored seven straight points on a kill each by Akinradewo Hooker, two Larson kills, blocks by Hooker and Bown and capped by an Akinradewo ace to push the score to 22-8. After Korea scored its first consecutive points to close to 22-10, the U.S. scored the final three points with kills by Hooker and Larson around a Korea error for a 25-10 victory. Akinradewo led the U.S. with six points in the opening set, while Larson and Hooker added five points. The Americans out-blocked the Koreans 4-0.
Akinradewo provided the U.S. a 4-2 lead in the second set with an ace after a Korea service error. Team USA added the to the advantage with a Larson kill after a Korea attack error to force Korea into a timeout down 6-2. Out of the break, Bown scored a kill and Larson put up a block for a sixth straight point going into the first technical timeout leading 8-2. Haneef-Park scored a block between two Korea errors as the Americans built an 11-3 advantage. Korea scored consecutive points at 13-7. Hooker pocketed a kill and block on back-to-back points to give the Americans a 16-8 lead at the second technical timeout. Hodge knocked down a kill and Akinradewo followed with her third ace to lift the U.S. in front 18-9. The American advantage reached 12 points at 24-12 after kills from Hooker and Hodge and a block by Akinradewo around a Korea error. Team USA concluded the set at 25-12 as Korea hit long for a fifth unanswered American point. Hooker tallied seven points in the set to pace the Americans, which tallied four blocks and two aces in the stanza.
The Americans opened the third set with an Akinradewo blocks and Korea error for a 2-0 advantage. Hodge followed a Korea error with a kill for a 4-1 advantage.

|Qualifying Examination
Within 2-3 semesters of beginning research, the Department expects students to take the Universitys Oral Qualifying Examination covering his or her research field and related areas. This exam is required for advancement to PhD candidacy, and signifies that the student is prepared and qualified to undertake research, not that the student has already completed a significant body of work towards the PhD. It is therefore expected to occur for most students in the 3rd year, and no later than the 4th year. A student is considered to have begun research when they first register for Physics 299 or fill out the department advising form showing that a research advisor has accepted the student for PhD work, at which time the research advisor becomes responsible for guidance and mentoring of the student. The examination is administered by a four-member committee (consisting of three Physics Department and one outside faculty member, including the research advisor) approved by the Graduate Division on behalf of the Graduate Council, and may be repeated once at the recommendation of the examining committee. The Department expects that all committees include at least one theorist and one experimentalist. For students with advisors from outside the department or who are not members of the Academic Senate (e.g., with appointments at LBNL or SSL), permission for a five-member committee may be requested from Grad Division to allow both the non-faculty and faculty advisor to be on the committee; in this case, approval of the proposed research by the Head Graduate Advisor and the Chair of the Department must also be obtained before the student takes their qualifying exam.
Rules and requirements associated with the Qualifying Exam are set by the Graduate Division on behalf of the Graduate Council. The committee membership and the conduct of the exam are therefore subject to Graduate Division approval. The exam is oral and lasts 2-3 hours. The Graduate Division specifies that the purpose of the Qualifying Exam is to ascertain the breadth of the student's comprehension of fundamental facts and principles that apply to at least three subjects areas related to the major field of study and whether the student has the ability to think incisively and critically about the theoretical and the practical aspects of these areas. Grad Division also states that this oral qualifying exam serves a significant additional function. Not only teaching, but the formal interaction with ones students and colleagues at colloquia, annual meetings of professional societies and the like, often require the ability to synthesize rapidly, organize clearly, and argue cogently in an oral setting . It is consequently necessary for the University to ensure that a proper examination is given incorporating [these skills].
The Qualifying Exam requires that the student, in consultation with his or her advisor, identify three topics which in the Physics Department are expected to be a proposed Thesis Topic, an Area of Research, and a General Area of Research. The General Area of Research is taken to be the sub-field within physics (e.g. astrophysics, biophysics, particle physics, condensed matter physics); the Area of Research to be a still broad but more narrowly defined field within the sub-field (e.g. magnetism, or QCD). For fields where these choices are not obvious, the student should suggest appropriately broad topics contiguous to their Thesis Topic. The choice of topics is subject to the approval of the Physics Department Head Graduate Adviser, per Graduate Council Requirements. Qualifying Exams in the Physics Department begin with a presentation from the student that is expected to last approximately, but no more than, 45 minutes, during and after which questions related to the presentation are typically asked. The presentation should focus on the student's research goals and necessary background material, including the proposed Thesis Topic and the Area of Research that encompasses the thesis topic, as well as a proposed schedule for finishing the PhD and goals/milestones in that schedule. After this presentation, following a short break if desired, members of the committee will further question the student both about the presentation itself and about the broader subject areas included in the General Area of Research, testing the students ability to think incisively and critically about the theoretical and the practical aspects of these areas. The Department expects these questions to be related to the student's research field, but to be broad in nature rather than narrowly related to the thesis itself. Ability to give a coherent and organized presentation and to answer questions on the three topics in an oral setting is also required for passing this exam. Note that adjustments may be made on the basis of campus policies for cases in which an otherwise able individual is prevented from meeting an oral requirement by a physical disability.
Please see Anne Takizawa in 372 LeConte about scheduling your qualifying exam.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — ACME — Two unruly Wisconsinites cooled their heels in Grand Traverse County jail after they started a fight in an Acme Township bar, threw a pizza at its owner and led deputies on a high-speed pursuit, authorities said.
The two men — a 55-year-old from Milwaukee and a 30-year-old from Hales Corners — await arraignment in Grand Traverse County's 86th District Court on a smorgasbord of charges from assault to possession of marijuana.
Their journey to Grand Traverse County jail began Monday evening at the Bay View Inn Bar & Grill on U.S. 31. Owner Frank Zarafonitis said the two men sat at the bar, had some drinks and initially showed no sign of trouble.
"My bartender at the time said they were doing fine," he said. "They went outside to smoke a cigarette and their demeanor totally changed when they came back in."
Video surveillance footage shows the younger of the two suspects searched through his wallet for several minutes. Zarafonitis said the suspect couldn't find his credit card and eventually accused the bar of theft. Sheriff's Capt. Dave Meachum said an argument escalated when one suspect threw a glass toward a female employee.
"She had to duck because the glass would have struck her," he said.
Zarafonitis confronted the two men, and they threw a glass at him, too. The younger suspect then picked up a take-out pizza box and threw it at the owner. Surveillance footage shows Zarafonitis blocked the pizza box and hit the suspect in the face during the scuffle.
"I tried talking to them," Zarafonitis said. "They were just irate."
The suspects left the bar, but Zarafonitis, his kitchen staff and some regular patrons were close behind. Meachum said one suspect tried to punch Zarafonitis, but only succeeded in falling down. Sheriff's deputies were dispatched at 6:54 p.m. to pursue the Wisconsin vehicle south down U.S. 31 and clocked the vehicle at 87 mph.
Three squad cars boxed the truck in the middle lane at Don's Drive-In near Four Mile Road. Meachum said the 30-year-old suspect, who drove, tried to pull his wrists away from a deputy as he was being handcuffed. The driver had a .22 percent blood-alcohol level and marijuana was found in his front pants pocket.
Meachum said both suspects have the same last name, but the incident report didn't specify their relationship. He said the 55-year-old faces charges of disorderly conduct, felonious assault and malicious destruction of property. The 30-year-old faces charges of operating under the influence, fleeing and eluding police, resisting an officer, assault and possession of marijuana.
Zarafonitis said incidents like the fight are now a rare occurrence in the once-rowdy bar.
"The last time something like that happened was, gosh, three years ago," he said.

Sarasota Orchestra union lawyer under indictment
Date: October 1, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Although there have been no new talks between the Sarasota Orchestra and its musicians over their new contract, the man the musicians union hired to negotiate a deal has become the topic of conversation himself.
Leonard Leibowitz, a lawyer for several performing arts unions, has been charged with embezzling about $150,000 from a union he represented.
Federal prosecutors said Leibowitz allegedly wrote checks to himself from the Independent Artists of America checkbook. They said in 1997 he asked the union for an advance on his retainer.
Leibowitz's retainer was $42,000, but from 1997 to 2005, he allegedly wrote $350,000 worth of checks to himself, his company and his wife rather than take his retainer.
Leibowitz was charged in July, before the American Federation of Musicians union asked him to conduct negotiations with the Sarasota Orchestra.
"Lenny has been under retainer as a negotiating attorney for several years," said Richard Sparrow, secretary of the union's Gulf Coast chapter. "The charges against him have no real relevance to how this particular negotiation goes. We believe he's the right person for that."
Dan Jordan, the orchestra's concertmaster, said Leibowitz successfully negotiated the musicians' last contract three years ago, so he trusts him. But he said he wanted the talks to continue and said if
Leibowitz was the stumbling block, "there are ways around that."
Orchestra CEO Joseph McKenna said he didn't want to comment on Leibowitz's "personal problems." Leibowitz could not be reached for comment.

Lindy Ruff will not be behind the First Niagara Center bench tonight for the Buffalo Sabres for the first time since March 20, 2006, and James Patrick will be in charge as the Sabres meet the Boston Bruins.
Patrick will move from changing the defense pairs to changing the forward lines and Kevyn Adams, who has been on the bench all season, will change the defense. First-year assistant Teppo Numminen will move down from the press box to the bench for the first time since his playing career ended here in 2009.
Patrick said Ruff is "hoping to be here" but it's certainly up in the air if the head coach if will be in the building tonight. Patrick said he could be in the press box or could simply stay in the coaches' suite in the locker room area and watch the game on the big-screen TV.
Patrick said it a little unusual to be calling forward lines but will try to keep things business as usual.
"The helpful thing is there's a lot of veteran guys with Pommer [Jason Pominville] and Gaus [Paul Gaustad] and Derek Roy," Patrick said. "It's a pretty veteran lineup. And they communicate on the bench and I don't expect any problems.
"It is a new voice but at the same time, the game plan will be the same," Pominville said. "The systems will be the same. Not much is going to change besides the person speaking and talking to us in intermission. Our focus has to remain the same. No matter who's there, we have the trust and confidence in what they're capable of doing."
"It's the ebb and flows of hockey. You can't predict how you're going to play the game either," said defenseman Jordan Leopold, whose collision with Ruff Monday caused the coach's three broken ribs. "It's one of those things. We're plenty prepared either way. If Lindy were back there, great. If not, we'll make do and stick with our system. He's made sure everything is implemented. It's just a matter of us going out there and doing it."
Patrick had a brief on-ice meeting with the team at end of the morning skate and said his message was to continue to be hard on the puck as the club has been during its 3-0-1 run. He said his first foray as a head coach should be interesting, especially if he needs to make his case known to the referees.
"Usually Lindy has to tell me to stop yelling at the referees so I've had a lot of practice at that," Patrick said. "You get answers or get a little more respect whhen you're the head coach. Hopefully that's not an issue."
Thomas Vanek skated with the team today and Patrick said he's improving. Vanek confirmed he's hoping to play this weekend, either Friday against Dallas or Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)
BSE is defined as a slow developing neurodegenerative disease of cattle that begins insidiously with subtle signs progressing
to terminal recumbency. This is a cerebral disease thus signs are consistent with abnormal mentation. Slight changes in
behavior include increased apprehension and tactile and auditory hyperesthesia. The cattle aren't really "mad" but increased
aggression may occur. One of the major differences between this disease and other bovine neurological diseases is that BSE
typically progresses much slower, over a period of 6 months (can be shorter or longer) whereas most other neurologic diseases
of cattle have acute onsets and clinical signs progress rapidly. Government authorities should be notified if cases are suspected.
Diagnosis is confirmed by histological examination of brain tissue showing vacuolation and spongiform degeneration of neurons;
currently a definitive diagnosis cannot be performed antemortem because there is no apparent immune response. There is no
treatment for this disease. The majority of reported cases are between 2 and 6 years old with greater than 50% of cases being
4-5 years old. Less than 0.02% of cases are younger than 3 years old. The disease agent (a prion) has not been found in
milk. There is no conclusive evidence of direct transmission. Three cases of BSE have been detected in the US. The first
was a Canadian dairy cow that had been moved to Washington State. The second and third cases were atypical BSE and were found
in Texas and Alabama. The ban of feeding ruminant meat and bone meal in the UK resulted in a dramatic drop in the incidence.

A word from Dobbs Ferry Restaurant

Diner Reviews
This was my first chance to try
out the bar. I do not know whether it was the server or the bartender, but someone really doesn't know anything about drinking whiskey straight without ice. First I got it mixed into an Old Fashioned (which I did not ask for) and then poured out after having been put in a cocktail shaker with ice. Usually, I do not drink because I am off to work; but this pretty much discouraged me from having anything to do with the bar in the future. On the food side I have to confess that I ordered the corn soup after having been really impressed with Indigo's version. This time was a flat-out failure: hardly any corn, a watery, almost tasteless broth, and some perverse idea to substitute potato for the corn."

The weirdest meal I have had in a
long time - slimy boiled chicken with sodden potatoes swimming in liquid surrounded by large peppers. Don't know what it was trying to achieve but left me cold. Other dishes may be (hopefully) better but won't be going back."
Dined on 7/25/2014
We tried Dobbs Ferry before the
symphony. As mentioned in previous reviews the staff was very friendly; we were treated like special guests. We tried the most popular courses: the rigatoni and flat iron steak. Fantastic!! We shared the liver pate which was superb. Excellent wine choices by the glass. Dobbs Ferry is very conscious about insuring we had plenty of time for the 7:30 performance but did not rush us at all. We had a delightful experience and will return to sample other menu items. We found a terrific restaurant for pre-performance dinners in Civic Center."
Dined on 7/25/2014
We saw a performance at SF Jazz
around the corner and walked over to DF afterwards. What a welcome we received by the hostesses and the manager and the waitress, everyone. We have already recommended the spot to several friends in the city. It was refreshing to be in a hip place without the attitude....inviting, warm, excellent food and even shared recipes if you ask the cook! It is now one of our top 5 go-to restaurants. Thanks so much"
Dined on 7/24/2014
The food was wonderful and fairly
priced. The server, Jordan was great, friendly with good recommendations. Will definitely visit again."

We had a wonderful experience
there and will repeat the next time we are in the area!"

Eggs overcooked but coffee was
excellent and bacon was plentiful. Noisy"

Loved our visit to Dobbs Ferry
last Sunday. We ordered the Mushroom Hash, and it was awesome!"
Dined on 7/20/2014
The cocktails and apps were
excellent. The chicken Scarpiello was great. Only wish we had room for dessert."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Very good food and very good
service. The 1/2 chicken is excellent and the wedge salad was perfect to share."
Dined on 7/17/2014
We were seated upon arriving,
greeted warmly, greet service, very good food, we will return."
Dined on 7/16/2014
The restaurant was amazing! I am
from Dobbs Ferry and wanted to check this place out! Food was innovative and excellent. Service from hostess, wait staff and managers was first rate! Definitely give Dobbs Ferry 5 stars."
Dined on 7/12/2014
Great restaurant and service.
Appetizers and dessert was yummy! Not too pricey"
Dined on 7/11/2014
Great food, very attentive staff,
casual ambiance, great pre-show choice."
Dined on 7/10/2014
This is a great place for a
pre-concert dinner. Its just 2-3 blocks from Symphony Hall, and we've been able to get reservations the last 2 times we went to a concert. It looks like a combination of pre-concert diners and more neighborhood diners. We had their Special for the night--which was a Petrale Sole stuffed with salmon mousse in a white sauce. It was FABULOUS!!! Came with spinach. The fish was cooked to perfection -- not too dry -- and the sauce was wonderful. Service was excellent."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Our cocktails were awful and we
should have sent them back. The food was ok but our server was nowhere to be found, we kept having to ask the hostess for help. I would never come back here."
Dined on 7/3/2014
Very convenient with attentive,
theatre-time-conscious staff. Nice ambiance -- smallish back room is open and airy feeling due to large (clean!) skylight and atrium garden. Food was good, not great, but very enjoyable."
Dined on 7/3/2014
this & several other restaurants
make up a perfect set of great places to dine if you are going to the opera, the symphony or one of the other local theaters in the areas"
Dined on 7/3/2014
Wine was excellent. Everything
else was excellent. My only quibble is that the special I ordered - breaded pork chop - was disappointing. Pork piece was thin and deep fried. Nice texture but relatively tasteless. I had a very nice time though as I was having a great talk with my niece."
Dined on 7/1/2014
We were actually here twice over
the weekend. Once for drinks and dessert and the other time for a small supper. Both times the service was fantastic. I have to say, the highlight of the two trips was the sweet corn chowder. I can't remember a time when I have enjoyed a soup so much! In fact, I broke a long-standing rule and actually had a 2nd bowl instead of dessert. Yep, I've crossed the two-soup line!"
Dined on 6/29/2014
This place was a good find for
pre-opera dining. Food was very good, and portions were surprisingly large. Next time we may just dine off the appetizer menu, since they have a large variety of interesting stuff there. I knocked one star off service because we were seated 20 minutes late (which made it a little close for our 8pm curtain time), even though our table was sitting there made up and ready for a good 5 minutes before they seated us there. Someone had to come tell the hostess to seat us at the table they had set up for us. Perhaps they were training a new hostess? Our waitress was good, and she did rush things for us when we told her about our curtain time, so we ended up making the opera with a few minutes to spare."
Dined on 6/28/2014
The best meal out in a long time!
First time eating at this restaurant. Came here to celebrate our anniversary. We are definitely coming back, again."
Dined on 6/28/2014
An excellent choice for dining
before a performance! Our pastas were superb and the service was excellent. We will be back soon!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
I came here on a bad night (there
was a lot going on in the area and the parking/traffic was awful), by the time all 4 of us in my party arrived it was almost 45min past our reservation.. The staff handled us with patience and kindness and it made a world of difference. Moving on, the food was great ! I loved what I ate and my friends loved what they ate as well. We left this place happy and full ! We will be back."
Dined on 6/26/2014
This was the ONLY place near Van
Ness and Hayes that provided us with an eating experience worth remembering. The waiters were not rushed; the space was not 'squeezed'; the food was well prepared; the ambiance was relaxed, but not like the Grove across the street. This was truly the best dining experience, especially for the price that we have found in SF. Much better than Absinthe or Hayes Street Grill."
Dined on 6/25/2014
We discovered a new (for us)
dining spot in the Hayes Valley area of SFO. Named Dobbs Ferry for the Westchester, NY town on the Hudson River. It was an excellent choice: there were 3 of us, each ordering different, delectable meals. The beet salad was extraordinary as were the halibut, mushroom ravioli and meatballs. We'll go back the next time we visit."
Dined on 6/23/2014
Took a stab for pre-theater
brunch...absolutely loved. We will return."
Dined on 6/22/2014
We had a drink and a bite at the
bar, then dinner at a table also in the bar area. The food was great; the staff were prompt and efficient; the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming. They got us off to the opera on time, despite some of our party arriving late. Overall, a great experience. We will definitely come back for more."
Dined on 6/21/2014
I would have recommended this
place solely on the strength of its terrific food, but the service and the lengths they went to to surprise and delight us were just amazing. As far as the service goes, this place is in a class by itself. What a find!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
Last minute reservation that
turned out to be a happy surprise. The wait staff was excellent. The service was exceptional but not stuffy. We really enjoyed the personal service that had just the right balance of respectful conversation. The food was hot and well-proportioned. The arancini was to die for!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
very fun, low key but great food,
extremely amicable staff. Hayes Valley is lucky to have this restaurant. Special thanks to Miranda - great work here!"
Dined on 6/20/2014
Excellent preparation and well
presented food. Timely dining pre-performance or leisurely later."
Dined on 6/20/2014
We were warmly greeted at the
door, seated at a quiet table and then experienced some superb first time dishes. We will definitely return."
Dined on 6/20/2014
Seated on time with reservation.
Excellent spot for dining if you have tickets for a shop. Courtesy when greeted and courtesy when seated and served. GM present at all times and greets you at your table, a nice touch. Food was brought timely, tasty, hot and delicious. Done in plenty of time before show started. Highly recommend and rates right with other highly touted restaurants in the immediate area."
Dined on 6/19/2014
Great pre theater find. The staff
was great at reminding us of the time we had left toward the end of our meal and paced us well. Soup, salad, entrees were fabulous! Creative seasonal menu will keep us coming back!"
Dined on 6/18/2014
The service was outstanding and
the food will definitely force you to return."
Dined on 6/17/2014
Made a last min reservation and
was pleasantly surprised. Had a lovely dinner, great atmosphere, friendly service, reasonably priced, what more could you ask for!"
Dined on 6/14/2014
We keep coming back to Dobbs Ferry
whenever we want to have a special dinner before opera or symphony. We did the Dine About Town menu and were not disappointed. The corn soup was terrific and not too creamy, which we liked. The short ribs were so tender they just easily came apart and went well with polenta. The vegetable lasagna was also well prepared. Overall, another terrific experience."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Food was quite good - incredibly
delicious smoked trout brushetta; just enough pasta with chicken parmesan; friend's rigatoni was flavourful. Very nice pineapple ricotta cheesecake. The only downside was the evening's hostess - she seemed to really not care that we were first timers. She would rather have had me sit at the bar and wait for my friend instead of being seated - we had early reservations and there were plenty of open tables. I opted for the table."
Dined on 6/14/2014
The food was wonderful with some
great choices. Service was exceptional: they really paid attention to getting our order to us so that we would be able to be on time for an 8 o'clock performance at the opera house. We will definitely return to Dobbs Ferry!"

|What: Urban Roots - Green Screens Monthly Screening Series
|Wednesday, February 1, 2012 ::PAST EVENT::
|Planet in Focus & The NFB
|NFB Mediatheque, 150 John St., Toronto, ON
|More Info:
|We are proud to announce that director Mark MacInnis' Urban Roots will screen at our monthly screening series on Wednesday, February 1 at the NFB Mediatheque, 150 John St. at 7pm.
Directed by: Mark MacInnis | 93 minutes | USA | English | Rated G |
Against a sprawling backdrop of boarded-up shops, empty lots and defunct factories, seeds of change have taken root in Motor City. Directed by Detroit-native Mark MacInnis and produced by The 11th Hour's Leila Conners, Urban Roots looks at the social, economic and environmental factors—as well as the dedicated residents—that cultivated an urban farming revolution amid the debris of America's collapsed automotive powerhouse.
A testament to the power of grassroots transformation, Urban Roots tells a compelling story about claiming independence from our reliance on commercial industries.
Join us for provocative and entertaining Canadian and international films about the state of our planet at the NFB's theatre at the corner of Richmond and John Street. All screenings will be followed by a discussion. Screenings will take place the first Wednesday of every month at the NFB Mediatheque (150 John Street, Toronto).
Brought to you by Planet in Focus, Canada's leading environmental media arts organization and the National Film Board of Canada, breaking ground in interactive works, social-issue documentaries, auteur animation and alternative dramas for over 70 years.
You must log in to add events to the calendar. To add events, log in, then browse to the month and year where the event begins, and select the date to go to the entry form.
