At least two separate fault lines have developed at the Federal Reserve over how much quantitative easing to do this year.
One debate—which is the least controversial—is how quickly the unemployment rate will start to improve, which would allow the central bank to start pulling back from its bond purchases and even begin reversing its longstanding zero interest-rate policy.
But the other, more divisive issue is over the huge growth in the Fed's balance sheet from the bond purchases. This year alone, the Fed could expand its balance sheet by more than $1 trillion. That's got some members worried that the Fed may need to pull back even before it even reaches its economic targets.
Disagreements over economic forecasts and the timing of improvement in the labor market are something the market can price in. But the investors are much more puzzled over how to deal with the split at the Fed over the balance sheet.
The issue erupted last Thursday, when the Fed released minutes from its December policy meeting. The minutes revealed that some members were worried about the growing balance sheet and thought the Fed might stop buying bonds before the end of this year. (Read More: Some Members See QE Ending This Year)
Part of the puzzle for the markets is which members advocate that position—and whether they have voting rights this year.
In a CNBC interview on Friday,St. Louis Fed President James Bullard indicated that he is among those who see the economy improving enough this year that the central bank could start pulling back. (Read More: Fed Easing Tied to Economy, Not Calendar: Bullard)
"If you've got (unemployment) down close to 7%, then you're within a half a point of your six and a half percent on the interest rate side," he said. "And I think clearly the intention is to pull back the balance sheet policy sometime before you would start thinking about raising the rates."
But a look at the Fed's unemployment forecast shows that a solid majority—16 of 19 members—see the unemployment rate remaining above 7.4% this year. That's far above the 6.5 percent target for any kind of pullback.
To be sure, the past two years, the Fed's average unemployment rate forecast has been off. For example,in November 2011, the average forecast of a member of the Federal Open Committee looked for 8.6% unemployment in 2012. The actual fourth quarter average came in at 7.8%, so the Fed missed by nearly a percentage point
The average forecast now looks for 7.6% unemployment by year, just two tenths belowthe current level.
Concerns about the balance sheet, meanwhile, range from those who fear it could cause inflation to those worried about the difficulties unwinding such a huge position in the market.
Minutes form the December show three different camps.
1. "A few" who say asset purchases will likely be warranted until end 2013.
2. "A few others" who agree with the need for considerable asset purchases but put no specific time frame or total on the amount.
3. "Several others" who say it is "appropriate to slow or to stop purchases well before the end of 2013, citing concerns about financial stability or the size of the balance sheet."
The identity of these "several others" is an important mystery for the market.
The biggest concern for those banking on a full year's QE program is that at least some of them come from either the board of governors or are centrists, both of whom have supported Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke in the past several years. The phrase "several others" in the minutes usually means three or four members.
On Saturday, at the AmericanEconomic Association annual conference in San Diego, Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser suggested he could be part of this group, saying that if scaling back the size of the balance sheet doesn't go well, "we may do more damage to the economy in terms of instability, or a rise in unemployment."
It is not especially worrisome for Bernanke if Plosser is a member, nor would it suggest an early end to the program. Plosser has been a frequent critic of the Fed's QE policy and he does not vote until 2014.
More troubling would be if it included one or more of the Fed governors, who typically vote with the chairman.
It remains unclear if Bullard and Kansas City Fed President Esther George, both new voters this year,will support QE. Many believe George will not, and instead will follow in the tradition of former Kansas City Fed President Tom Hoenig.
Other new voters,Chicago's Charlie Evans and Boston's Eric Rosengren, are unlikely to be among those who believe concerns about unwinding the balance sheet should trump the need for more asset purchases.
There are three specific concerns about the balance sheet. The first is that a large balance sheet will create inflation. Second, the Fed could take losses on its balance sheet if it has to sell assets amid rising interest rates. When the interest rate on a fixed income security goes up, the principal amount goes down. So when the Fed itself tries to raise interest rates, it will be responsible for creating losses on its own portfolio.
Finally, the concern is that in order to keep those excess reserves from creating inflation, the Fed will have to pay high levels of interest to the banks to keep them from being loaned out.This is not only counterproductive (the interest it pays will just end up increasing excessive reserves) but looks bad politically for the Fed.
Depending upon how high interest rates rise, the payments could end up being in the tens of billions of dollars—payments that the Fed will make to banks ostensibly to control inflation, but also to make sure they do not make loans.
All of that will mean that the payments that the Fed has been making to the Treasury each year—from the income generated by its portfolio— will dwindle and could end up being nothing. Last year, the Fed paid $77 billion in what is called seignorage to the Treasury in 2012.
Those on the other side in the debate counter that they are now concerned the committee could ultimately arrive at a decision on QE that has less to do with economics and more to do with optics.
They point out that the large balance sheet has so far not resulted in inflation and that the ability to pay interest on reserves is a key tool that should allow the Fed to induce the banks to keep that money from becoming loans and potentially fueling inflation.
They point out that strict so-called monetarists (who see a direct connection between the size of the Fed's balance sheet and inflation) have been wrong for most of the past four years.
If the size of the Fed's balance sheet does not in itself cause inflation, then the Fed could potentially sell no assets or only very few, avoiding losses on the portfolio. The balance sheet would shrink naturally as assets matured and were not replaced.
Losses do not trouble this group, since they point out the Fed has paid the Treasury an average of $67 billion over the past three years and that the Fed is not designed to profit from its balance sheet.
The decline in seignorage to theTreasury would only amount to a restoration of the status quo before the financial crisis when the Fed's payments were minimal, averaging about $25 billion in the ten years before the crisis.

Sometimes, I'll put a small drop of oil on the threads before assembling the thing and this makes tightening it up a little smoother, but isn't necessary. It's a metal to metal seal...it takes some pressure to make it happen.

Perhaps now, with less visibility, the section will start the long road of rehabilitation toward becoming a welcoming, discussion of atheism for atheists. In truth, many of the noisiest members - much like in religion - are the ones that get the most attention, and the ones that least represent the majority of the community.

Neighborhoods: Connecticut Ave/ K Street, Northwest, Northwest Washington
Yum-pockets – "OMG Julia's Empanadas." This is what I hear at least once every time I'm here. Given, it is usually late, and people tend to get easily excited and emotional at that hour, but the tiny store serving pockets of pure goodness deserves the multitude of OMGs. Julia couldn't have chosen a better location to dole out up her baked puff pastries. The menu is small, but clearly well thought-out; each empanada carries unique and complementary flavors. And for $4, they are a steal, especially for the overstuffed Bolivian-inspired salteña, a hearty meal unto itself – chicken, potatoes, peas, hard-boiled egg, raisins, olives, and onions.
Perfect Portable Patties – I'm a huge empanada fan so it's hard for me to say anything bad about them, but really, Julia's makes them well. They've got a couple varieties of their Latin-influenced versions of the meat-and-veggie-filled-pillows of dough, from Chilean or Jamaican (like jerk meat). I love the turkey empanada with caramelized spring onions - it's both sweet and savory. Their dessert empanadas are great as well; the strawberry and cream cheese brings me back to my childhood days eating toaster strudels (but trust me, these are way better). They offer very cheap deals like 1 savory, 1 sweet and 1 soda for less than $6, which are perfect for lunch or dinner.
Quick & savory – I stumbled upon Julia's after a night at Lucky Bar - we were searching for some pizza but opted for empanadas instead. Thank goodness we did! We had two of their classic selections (Chilean Style Beef and the Jamaican). Delish! The price is right (a little over $3), and it might just trump pizza as the new late-night go to!
Tasty in perfect pocket form – Julia's is muy fantastico studentes. A huge variety of empanadas with a vast array of fillings will be sure to please even the pickiest in your crew and always a safe place to go and grab a cheap bite with a group of diverse eaters! I tend to stick with the daily special as it is seldom anything but the best and utilizing the most fresh and special of ingredients!

Should guests inquire about our policy at buffet locations offering all-you-care-to-eat for one price, please note the following:
For classic steakhouse fare or a delicious breakfast in an upscale setting, visit this Disneyland Hotel restaurant.
Named for the year that Disneyland Park opened, Steakhouse 55 takes you back to a bygone era of decadence, when attentive service and lavish steaks were the order of the day—every day.
Dine in a dimly lit, well-appointed space replete with dark-wood furnishings, black-and-white photos of movie and music luminaries of the era, including Walt Disney, and an impressive wine cellar. The private Oak Room can be reserved for parties of up to 24 Guests.
Dining with Distinction
Steakhouse 55 was awarded four stars by the Orange County Register and a Golden Bacchus by the Southern California Restaurant Writers Association. Zagat describes the restaurant as "amazing," "a gem," "elegant" and "the best rib eye in town."
The generous marbling of our premium beef ensures exceptional flavorful and tenderness with every juicy bite. The bone-in rib eye seasoned with signature "Steakhouse 55" rub is the specialty of the house, though we also feature all your favorite cuts, from an 8-ounce filet mignon to the 20-ounce porterhouse. Add some Hollywood glamour by going Oscar-style or topping your steak with béarnaise, peppercorn sauce, bleu cheese or 55 butter.
Coldwater lobster tail, pistachio rack of lamb, a double-cut pork chop, free-range double chicken breast and sustainable fresh fish are among our other entrée selections. Make it a meal to remember with à la carte sides like the chef's potato stack au gratin, 4-cheese macaroni with smoked bacon, and asparagus with hollandaise. A prix fixe menu of 3 courses, including a flat-iron steak with sides, affords a more casual steak dinner, while a children's menu features healthy Mickey Check meals.
Our expert sommeliers can assist Guests 21 and over in selecting the perfect wine to complement their meal. You may even have the opportunity enter the wine cellar and taste several vintages. Finish in grand style with the signature 24-layer chocolate cake, a sinful concoction of chocolate sponge cake, Grand Marnier, milk and dark chocolates, and Nutella. Enlist the help of your entourage if you have to! Other dessert choices include vanilla bean crème brulée, "root beer" baked Alaska and a trio of cheeses.
Please note: Steakhouse 55 is not open for lunch.
All menu items are subject to change without notice.
For snacks and libations, this intimate, old school-style watering hole can't be beat—no reservations needed.
Start your day in a winning way with breakfast at Steakhouse 55 and enjoy freshly made brunch fare in unhurried style.
Bask in the same sophisticated ambience but this time by the light of day as you sup on "Sunrise Rhapsodies" like New York steak and eggs, eggs Benedict or the
build-your-own omelet. "Steakhouse 55 Struttin' Selections" will please sweet tooths with French toast or the buttermilk pancake stack, while "South-of-the-Border Serenades" spice up your morning with heuvos rancheros and the Sunrise burrito.
"Healthful Harmonies" hit the right note for those looking to keep it light and include an egg-white omelet, smoked salmon bagel, hot and cold cereals, fresh fruit and pastry items. Complete your meal with "All That Jazz": specialty coffees, teas and fruit juices. A children's menu is also offered, with choices like Mickey-shaped pancakes and the Jr. Scramble.
With West African roots and a flair for international flavors, Steakhouse 55 Chef de Cuisine Alle Thiam utilizes his "coastal cuisine" style to create an unparalleled dining experience. With an emphasis on the freshest seafood, meats and produce, Chef Thiam strives to bring together influences from different cultures and cuisines—resulting in a taste and style that is uniquely his own…and one that his Guests at Steakhouse 55 savor.
Advance reservations are highly recommended and can be made—online or by phone—up to 60 days prior to your visit.
Or, call (714) 781-DINE (3463) between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM daily (Pacific Time).

Sometimes coming in under budget isn't about cutting expenses but about working smarter. Here are 87 tips for doing just that.
Choose the Right Site 1. Get the local CVB to do the legwork in setting up your site visit.
2. Use local destinations or smaller cities that can offer you more for your money.
3. Use a video camera to tape your site inspection. This will help you to remember the property and reduce the need to revisit.
4. Research your hotel suppliers. Is there any competition? How busy is the market? Are you in high, low, or midseason? How many years has the supplier been in business?
5. Research the rack rates, as well as group rates. Call the toll-free line or reservations desk of the property or chain. This way you will know the "worst case" pricing.
6. Always give conservative room blocks. If you block too many rooms, you will end up paying for them.
Budget Smart 7. Meet every day with your hotelier to review the master account. This will allow you to catch errors on-site.
8. Communicate your budget information to the convention services manager. His or her role is to work with you.
9. Always budget at least 10 percent of your expenses as "contingency." This will take care of unforeseen costs such as
- labor strikes - bad weather - overtime - extra postage and mailings - phone and computer hookups - cancellation insurance - speaker substitutions
10. Ask for a discount for cash payment on-site.
11. Limit authorized signatures, and don't accept charges signed for by unauthorized people.
12. Learn the tax laws for both your organization's location and the location of your event. You could be eligible for tax breaks that you aren't claiming.
13. Know the value of your business. Keep a detailed history of all your events.
Contract Do's and Don't's 14. Negotiate sliding-scale rates with the hotel.
15. Negotiate no deposit - or at least that the deposit will be placed in an interest-bearing account.
16. Have several supplier options, and don't let any one supplier think he or she is your only choice.
17. Develop long-term relationships with properties and chains you use often. Negotiate volume discounts.
18. Prepare a detailed request for proposal. Communicate the value of your meeting.
19. Ask for everything and anything that you want right up front:
- 1:30 or 1:40 comp rates - airport transfers - early check-in times - late checkout times - complimentary coffee and tea in the rooms - complimentary meeting space, rehearsal space, setup/tear-down - no package-receiving charges - continental breakfast in the meeting room - extended-stay rates - free local calls - free office space - free or reduced parking for VIPs and staff - late cutoff dates - reduced room rates for speakers - reduced room rates for staff - upgrades for VIPs and staff - welcome gifts and notes - a specific amount of electricity for your event to be underwritten by the venue
20. Add a clause in the hotel contract that states you will not pay the final invoice until you have received a detailed post-convention evaluation.
21. Work with hotels to fill their "hot dates," or meeting space "holes." Though the low season seems to be getting shorter, try to schedule meetings in the least busy times of the year.
22. Be flexible with your arrivals and departures.
23. Make sure the contract's cancellation clause is reciprocal. What if the hotel is undergoing major renovations during your event? Or if there is a change in management?
24. Build up your F&B totals with on-site meals and functions. Hotels will be more willing to negotiate.
25. Lock in the menu prices. If the hotel will not provide a specific menu in advance, at least agree that the menu prices will not increase more than a fixed percentage per year.
26. Never sign a contract unless you agree with it in its entirety. Cross out or edit clauses with which you do not agree, initial them, and get the supplier to initial his or her agreement.
27. Pay attention to cutoff dates. Keep in regular contact with suppliers even after the contract is signed. Watch the business climate in that city/region.
28. Cash in your comp rooms for suites first, which are more valuable.
29. Work with national sales offices to set up site visits.
Save on Staffing 30. Hire on-site registration and secretarial staff instead of paying for in-house staff's travel costs.
31. Know local overtime regulations.
32. Schedule staff at straight time to avoid overtime.
33. Pay staff travel per diem. Outline exactly what they're allowed to spend on meals and transportation.
F&B Tips 34. Deal with the chef directly. Challenge him or her to work with your meeting's goals and concept. The chef will know what is in season and what is grown or produced locally, and can be very creative if given the opportunity.
35. Buy your coffee, tea, and decaf in bulk or by the gallon, if at all possible.
36. Order as much as possible "by consumption." Uneaten food and drink can be returned and not charged. This works well with soda and packaged foods like potato chips.
37. Re-use food if possible. Wrap uneaten danishes and doughnuts from the coffee break and provide them at lunch with the dessert options.
38. Instead of hot breakfast, serve an extended continental breakfast by adding fresh fruit, yogurt, and cereal to the regular offerings.
39. Cut down on portions. Cut danishes and doughnuts in half. Offer mini-muffins, mini-doughnuts, mini-danishes.
40. Use sit-down meals, which can cut food preparation labor costs as much as 20 percent.
41. Skip the dessert, salad, or soup. Dessert can be served at breaks.
42. Distribute box lunches instead of holding a formal, sit-down lunch.
43. Ask which other groups are using the hotel at the same time. You may be able to have the same menu, thereby gaining economies of scale that can be passed on in cost savings to you.
44. Place expensive food items in harder-to-reach places on the banquet table.
45. Try staffed food stations, such as stir-fry stations and pasta tables.
46. Avoid shrimp, oysters, and other expensive delicacies.
47. Compare a la carte vs. per-person pricing on a spreadsheet.
48. If you are able to, buy soft drinks in bulk and have your staff serve it. Sometimes hotels will waive their "must use our banquet services" clauses for small hospitality suite functions.
Room Setup Savings 49. Find out which groups are in the hotel immediately before and after your meeting and work together on your staging requirements. This will save you money in labor for setup and teardown.
50. If a meeting lasts more than two days, keep the same meeting room setup.
51. Use skirted tables instead of renting secretarial desks for on-site offices.
52. Reduce the number of breakout rooms needed, saving audiovisual and setup costs.
53. Use the same room with two setups. For example, use the room classroom-style for the educational session, and banquet-style for serving lunch and for breaks. Put up screens or use plants to divide the space.
Speaker Secrets 54. Book local speakers or entertainers to save on travel expenses.
55. Hire now. Speakers and entertainers often raise their rates every year. Lock in at this year's rates.
56. Negotiate a flat rate instead of fee plus expenses.
57. Piggyback speakers and entertainers with other groups in the same hotel.
58. Use versatile acts in more than one event.
59. Understand union rules and hire the minimum number of musicians that are required.
60. See the talent in action and check references.
Transportation Tips 61. Analyze the cost savings of airfare requiring a Saturday-night stay. It may not be cheaper than paying for the extra room night plus applicable per diem.
62. Instead of meet-and-greet services, distribute vouchers for airport shuttles and/or fare for public transport.
63. While negotiating for your hotel or resort, request complimentary limousine service for VIPs. Also inquire about reserved and complimentary parking.
64. Ask that your special guests and staff get reserved parking spaces close to the hotel entrance.
65. Transport delegates within a four- to eight-hour window to cut back on bus transfer costs.
66. Ask for additional frequent-flyer points from your official air carrier.
67. Ask the local taxi company for discount coupons for local shows, restaurants, and sightseeing attractions.
68. Use the carrier's VIP lounge for the group's meet and greet.
69. Travel during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening).
70. Ask hotels whether they provide a complimentary airport-shuttle service and book with those that do.
AV Answers 71. Sit down with your AV company and work out the least expensive way to set up.
72. Use cocktail rounds instead of renting overhead carts.
73. Buy a TV and give it away later as a door prize instead of paying rental fees.
74. Use a slide projector with color gels for a spotlight.
75. Use as few microphones as possible. This will eliminate labor and the need for sound-mixing equipment.
75. Ask for one complimentary microphone per room.
76. Ask for use of complimentary two-way radios when negotiating your AV contract.
77. Rent only the size screen that you need.
78. Use LCD panels instead of video projectors.
79. Don't arbitrarily put AV in every room. Ask speakers and moderators what they'll need first.
80. If you need AV for more than one day, negotiate a reduced rental for additional days.
81. Travel with your own extension cords and surge protectors.
82. Have your audiotaping company record your meeting at no charge as part of the agreement.
83. Limit wireless microphones by opting for cheaper handheld mics with long cords wherever possible.
84. Don't order draping for screens; no one will notice.
85. When you expect to have extensive AV requirements, book a conference center, most of which include equipment in the cost.
86. Use your hotel's closed-circuit TV capabilities to make announcements.
87. Just before the meeting, reconfirm the speakers' AV needs. Presenters may have originally requested equipment that they no longer plan to use.

A Southwest Virginia plastic surgery practice is the first and only facility in the region to offer FDA approved non-invasive face lifts that don't involve cutting or scars. Since the Southwest Virginia Center in Roanoke began offering the Ultherapy treatment last spring, more than 50 men and women have had the treatment and walked away a short time later pleased with the results.
Regarded nationally as the newest trend in plastic surgery, Ultherapy is taking the plastic surgery community by storm and has been featured on several national television shows including 20/20, Good Morning America, The Doctors, The View, and The Martha Stewart Show. It has also been the subject of much acclaim in Marie Claire, Health, Allure, Good Housekeeping, and The Oprah Magazine.
The procedure uses ultrasound technology and the body's own healing power to lift, tighten, and firm skin on the face and neck. At the Southwest Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery in Roanoke, the treatment is performed by Master Esthetician Kathleen Gorman. Gorman utilizes ultrasound technology to deliver heat to the deep tissue under the skin, and then a second tissue layer is treated for further toning and tightening.
According to Michael Breiner, MD, founder of the Southwest Virginia Center, the treatment is best for patients who are not quite ready for a face lift and don't want any scarring or an extended recovery period. The treatment, he says, works best for individuals between about 30 and 75 years of age with slight lines, wrinkles, loose skin on the face or neck, or droopy eyes.
Beyond about 75 years old, most individuals have lost the majority of the collagen in the skin that this procedure works to stimulate. For those patients, as well as anyone with considerable skin sagging, Gorman and Breiner recommend a traditional face lift.
"Ultherapy stimulates the skin's natural ability to make collagen, so what patients see is a gradual lifting and tightening over time," says Gorman. Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firmed and toned. As we age, collagen loses its strength and its ability to stand up to the effects of gravity that pull skin downward. Ultherapy jumpstarts a repair process that strengthens existing collagen and produces new collagen.
It can take two to three months to see the most dramatic results, and some patients have reported continued improvement for up to six months. Most patients see minor results before they even leave the office. There are no special after-care requirements and patients can resume their normal activities immediately.
At 52 years old, Rodney Marston, of Roanoke City, decided to have the treatment to correct the sagging skin under his chin after losing weight. Going under the knife wasn't something he was willing to consider, but when he found out the Southwest Virginia Center was offering the Ultherapy locally, he was one of the first to schedule an appointment. And he would absolutely do it again, he says.
"I saw results right away, but it just keeps improving," explains Marston. "It has toned the skin under my chin amazingly."
Alice Leipzig, of Roanoke County, feels the same. "I am so, so thrilled with the results," notes Leipzig, who had her face, neck, and mouth treated during three separate appointments. If the treatment wasn't available locally, she says she would definitely travel to have it done again.
In many of her patients, Gorman has seen dramatic results in eliminating crow's feet, which are small wrinkles radiating outward from the outer corner of the eye, the bags under the eyes, as well as the fine lines around the lips.
Because there is no cutting involved, there are no scars or down time, Gorman explains. Some patients do report minor pin-prick like discomfort during the procedure and minor swelling immediately afterward. Gorman recommends that her patients take Ibuprofen and Tylenol. Many go back to work the same day.
The time spent under the ultrasound transducer varies from patient to patient depending on the size of the area being treated. Some patients opt to have just the brows or neck done, while others opt for the full face and neck. The full treatment takes about two hours. The costs for the treatment vary between $400 and $2,500.
The results typically last for one to two years, depending on the laxity of the skin before the procedure.
"Even before you have deep wrinkles, your collagen is breaking down," says Gorman. Ultherapy can serve as preventative skin care by helping to keep that collagen strong and supportive, she explains.
"Ultherapy is a really great option for most people," continues Gorman. "It's like putting collagen in the bank – which is a healthy investment toward your skin's future."
To schedule a free consultation at the Southwest Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery, call 540- 989-6361. The center is located at 2965 Colonnade Dr. in Roanoke. The next closest facility to offer this treatment is located in Winston Salem, NC.

Loved It – My husband & I were in SFO for President's Day weekend and called on Valentine's Day for a reservation at 7 PM. We were in luck (this would never happen in LA) The food was just fantastic. & the service was excellant. The ORECCHIETTE, LAMB SAUSAGE, WILD MUSHROOMS, ESCAROLE, CHICKEN BROTH, BUTTER was heavenly. Everthing we had was superb. Thanks for making our VDay evening a great one. If I lived in SFO I would eat here all the time.
fantastic !!! – It was so good we had to come back a week later and guess what, we all ordered the same dish.
The food , the service the ambiance .... it's all excellent ;
Keep it up "Aperto" - we are definitely coming back. Cheers !
Love it!! – One of the best experiences we have had in a long time. The service was friendly, yet very professional. The food was some of the best we have had in a long time. Aperto is such a joy to dine at, if your not in the mood to be out, order take out.
Refreshingly Consistent, Good Food – We've eaten here 3 times now, and each time the food has been spot on. The ingredients are fresh and cooked well, and the combination of flavors on the plate are wonderful.

We bring our daughter (now 13 months old) each time, and we don't feel out of place bringing such a young child with us. It's a perfect place for a tasty and satisfying dinner out (with the kids) for Mom & Dad. We're grateful that we're able to expand our daughter's pallet with quality food in an comfortably, elegant restaurant.

I highly recommend Aperto, whether it's a first date, a cozy family dinner or a dinner out with a visiting friend.
Wonderful neighborhood restaurant, delicious dishes, affordable prices. – My boyfriend and I eat here at least once a month; not because we live in the neighborhood, but because of the delicious food and great service, not to forget, Aperto is easy on the wallet. We usually start with a Caesar salad which we share. I love the large homemade croutons and pungent anchovies. Although this Caesar is a solid choice, upon our last visit we found the dressing watered down probally because the romaine leaves were not dried properly. For our main course, my boyfriend never fails to order the Pepati Pasta. A mixture of oven roasted tomatoes, pancetta, arugula, garlic and jalapenos--sounds strange, tastes divine. The chalkboard features daily specials of fish, meat, pasta and a contorno(veggie sidedish). I generally order the fish special which is always accompanied by a vegetable and starch, such as potatoes or risotto. Not like other restaurants that charge you extra to get your daily dose of greens or leave you to raid the bread basket. Although the wine is not as extensive as some of the more fancy restaurants of SF, it has plenty of variety and most bottles are under $40. Even if I lived on the other side of town, I am sure I would make the trip to this neighborhood gem on Potrero Hill.
Too many other stellar places in SF to settle for mediocre service and average food. – A group of friends and I tried Aperto for the first time last night and were in heaven as soon as we sunk our teeth into the crab cakes. Perfect, "crabby" (not full of filler and bread crumbs like many others are) cakes with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. It's unfortunate the rest of the meal didn't follow suit. Our waitress might have been new to the industry because when we showed her our steak, which was ordered "medium rare," but was a dark brown (we're talking dead, well done) all the way through, she merely said she'd never heard of that before and that the cooks, "probably cooked it too long..." Gee. Ya think? She did nothing about it. The mussels were the smallest ones we had ever seen...overcooked so they were shriveled and half the shells arrived empty. One saving grace at the end of the meal was the apple pie dessert...delicious. We won't be back, too many other stellar places in SF to settle for mediocre service and average food.
Solid Tuscan dishes and moderate prices ensure a packed house at this cute, welcoming Potrero joint. – The Scene
The tiny dining room is crammed with tables, a tiny open kitchen and racks of wine. The no-reservations policy means there's often a wait, but the vibe is more relaxed than hectic. Gracious, efficient waiters cater to the typically Potrero Hill crowd: Upscale but casual arts types.
The Food
It likely won't redefine any notions of Tuscan cooking, but everything is fresh, well-prepared and appealing. To start, sumptuous crab cakes are awakened by a spicy aioli, while shaved sunchokes add an unexpected twist to a fennel, frisee and radicchio salad. Entrees are also dependable. Though pancetta can overwhelm the subtleties of the house-made butternut squash ravioli, a splendid union of sauteed mahi mahi with beets, fava beans and peashoot tendrils bursts with spring exuberance. A particularly noteworthy dessert is the made-to-order chocolate souffle.
Warm Fuzzies – The food, the atmosphere, the service, all enduringly great. Never had a bad meal here. It's become a bit tougher to sit down on a Friday night; but don't worry, you can sip a cocktail across the street at Lingba Lounge and the host will come get you when your table is ready.
Nice Neighborhood restaurant – I've now been here twice. Once with my boyfriend for dinner & once w/ some out of town relatives for brunch. I picked it based on the reviews. Dinner: very small cozy local dinner joint with great daily specials. The food we had was very good for a small neighborhood restaurant and I'm sure we'll be back (but agree if I didn't live close by in SoMa - I wouldn't cross the city just to eat here). Brunch: again great since it was so close to me, the portions were generous but not too overwhelming in size. The Bacon & Cheese Omelette was very rich & delicious and my guest loved the baked banana pancake. Everything both times was made fresh & served promtly. I will be back.
We made a reservation based solely on reviews from this website after looking up best brunches in San Fran. We were visiting the city over Easter weekend and wanted to go to a nice place for Easter Brunch. We were pretty disappointed when there was no "brunch" menu it was basically a breakfast menu with not a lot of choices. The food was so-so... small portions. Bottom line it might be a good "local" place for casual meals, but definately not a special occasion place.

Slow-Cooked Meat Loaf Recipe
3.88 3
What could be more comforting to come home to than moist and tender homemade meat loaf? "This one retains its shape in the slow cooker and slices beautifully," reports Marna Heitz from Farley, Iowa. "Because potatoes and carrots cook along with it, the entire dinner is ready at the same time."
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 slices day-old bread, cubed
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 8 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 8 small red potatoes
- In a bowl, beat egg and milk. Stir in the bread cubes, onion, green pepper, salt and pepper. Add the beef and mix well. Shape into a round loaf. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Spread ketchup on top of loaf. Arrange carrots around loaf. Peel a strip around the center of each potato; place potatoes over carrots.
- Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 7-8 hours longer or until no pink remains in the meat and the vegetables are tender. Yield: 4 servings.

We have made this several times and always enjoy it. We add 1/2 a chopped onion and 1/2 a pepper, and chili sauce with a teaspoon (or two) hot horseradish instead of ketchup. Easy and delicious.

I found this interesting explanation from here:
The nāgārjuna of vajrayāna is generally identified by the Tibetan Buddhists with the mādhyamika philospher, but these two were definitely different teachers. Matsyendranātha, a Tantric teacher of Shaktism, enjoying great reputation as a kaula yogin appeared in Assam sometime in the early centuries of the Christian era. He is taken as the founder of the Kaula system in kaliyuga. That system is said to have been started by four yuganāṭhas in four yugas and they are respectively khagendranātha, kūrmanātha, meṣanātha and matsyendranātha. arāha alias rāhulabhadra, a Buddhist monk of the vijnānavāda school, learnt Kaula Tantra from some efficient teacher belonging to the line of matsyendranātha. He adapted it to the fundamental principles of vijnānavāda and presented it efficiently as a secret sādhana taught by Buddhism. He eliminated cleverly two very important principles of śākta tantra for such purpose. One of these is the principle of the existence of a constant entity called ātman. The other principle is that of absolute theism. Besides, he changed the names of Tantric deities so as to make them look like Buddhist ones and gave all philosophical terms a Buddhist coloring. Thus he presented the śākta system of matsyendranātha as mystic Buddhism and gave it the name, vajrayāna. One of his very efficient disciples was a monk named nāgārjuna who also is, many a time, wrongly identified with the ancient mādhyamika philosopher of the South by the Lamas of Tibet and Mongolia. He popularized among Buddhist monks such Tantrism which passed on under the name of vajrayāna Buddhism. Padmasambhava, a disciple in his line, carried such Tantric Buddhism to Tibet and from there it spread to many countries of the Buddhist world.
How true is the above account?

At that time, violence like this was rare in this country. Today it seems to be an everyday occurrence. Most of the attorneys at our office were at the Birmingham auditorium at a conservative conference, and they all disliked President Kennedy. When they returned to our office, they had not even heard of the shooting. The first thought when I heard that the president was dead was, "I am glad this did not happen here in Birmingham."
Our law firm represented the Birmingham Board of Education and we got bomb threats daily at our office. Around 2:30 p.m., The Birmingham News put out an extra edition. I don't believe I have ever seen another extra edition in my life. I kept this paper at least 30 years, but now have misplaced it.
I was barely 23 years old with a 2-year-old little girl, and my husband and I watched TV all that weekend. However, I did not see Jack Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswald. We were watching another channel. I know the whole nation's heart was broken when the riderless horse came down the street in Washington and JFK's little son saluted his father's casket. What a senseless tragedy. Today, people hardly stop when a news bulletin comes on about a senseless shooting. How wonderful it would be to go back to the more innocent times when all of us had higher values. I still pray that God will bless America.

After several days of snow, ice and grey skies, the sun made an appearance this afternoon! So, even though it was cold with a biting wind, I put on my coat, hat and gloves and took these photos around my neighborhood. The cute little barn and fence is at a church just down the road from me. Winter isn't my favorite season, I admit, but I do try to see the beauty of it all, and the snow certainly is beautiful on the evergreens and tree branches and everything.

Hi Cindy, thanks for stopping by my blog to visit. Your snow pictures are so lovely, I love the wreath on the fence covered with snow. My pictures were from a few years ago, it only snows in south Alabama once every few years! Of course, we are always excited when it does snow here, and wish it snowed every year!
