Seattle >Food & Dining > Elemental
3309 Wallingford Ave N, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810347.647509 -122.336362
Wed: 12am-12am
Neighborhoods: Lake Union, Wallingford
A perfect dining experience and a must-try in Seattle – So, this is not the Cheesecake Factory. If you want to choose from a big menu, order yourself a frozen margarita, and have a happy waiter cozy up to you, that's not going to happen here.
However, you can tell you are in capable, caring hands the moment you sit down in this unpretentious, cozy, yet sophisticated space. Admittedly, that charm is not expressed in a bunch of charming conversation. Instead, you are served a delightful drink immediately. The server (who I think is the owner) finds out what you won't eat, and then proceeds to bring you course after course of surprising, beautiful, and delicious food. Highlights for us tonight were the ravioli with zucchini noodles, the green and yellow beans in a citrusy cream sauce with lava salt, and the peachy bread pudding. We were still trying to figure out everything that was in that soup on the way home (chickpeas? grapes? almonds?). Oh, and the wine. The wine pairings were spot-on and included one that immediately made my top ten of all time list. The service wasn't chatty, but you know what it was...it was prompt, responsive, and thorough. The kitchen is open, and the care and concentration of the two chefs working was apparent throughout the evening. And you cannot beat the value.
One caveat. Bring a big appetite, because they are going to bring you a LOT of food. They are also going to bring you a lot of alcohol. Regulate yourself. You don't have to finish every glass of wine, although you'll want to try it just to experience the variety and pairing with the courses.
We'll be coming back and thoroughly recommend Elemental to anyone looking for a first-class night out.
Seatle Weekly-Best Rude Service Category-WINNER! – *Since my last review and having visited several more times I am going to save you a lot of time, suffering and money with some tips.
*First-take $200 out of the ATM
*Second-Go to the grocery store and buy matches, jiffy pop, a small bottle of truffle oil, a gallon of crappy Paisano wine and a turkey Hungry Man TV Dinner
*Third-Go home invite a friend over and ask him/her to insult you relentlessly, you know, ask them to try their best to make you feel like a complete dbag
*Fourth-cook said Hungry Man, popcorm slathered with truffle oil, tell yourself the slop is Laurie's greatest creation ever (maybe its QUAIL! OOOOOHHH!), have your friend continue to berate you and slam crappy wine down on the table
*Lastly, take the remaining $160 bucks or so, light the bills, watch them burn and have your angry friend put them in a very uncomfortable place.
That my friends is EXACTLY what my last meal was here and if you don't believe me, go try it. Go in and smile and be kind to Phred and Laurie, I promise you they will be the worst restaurant hosts ever and kick out inedible slop to you-food and unbelievable attitude that just doesnt have a place anywhere let alone a dining room. Bon Appetit!
*PS-I hear that the Monroe State Pen is looking for a line cook and prison guard, my suggestion to these two is to polish your resumes.
Great experience on my wife's birthday. – If you go in blind not knowing about the potential caustic attitude of the owner/chef/server you could be in for disappointment.
My wife and I went in with our eyes wide open, and we enjoyed the food and the quirkiness. The food was far better than many higher end restaurants, and our entire party has a good time.
I read some reviews talking about citysearch computations blah blah blah...some people love this place, some people hate it.
Seattlelites are just too sensitive. We loved it.
Make sure you show up extra extra early! – I heard of this place through a coworker, and decided to bring my husband there for our anniversary. I called to see if I could make reservations, but was told that they didn't take them. There recommendation was to arrive early, which we did. 4:15 to be exact. Only to find out they were already full for their 1st "round" of seating which can last till 9 or 9:30. I was soooo bummed as I did not have any other back up plans. So we sat on the other side of the "restaurant" which was like a communial seated bar area. You can order everything off the menu along with wine, but it just wasn't the same as the great experience I heard about, so we decided to wait...even if we had to wait 4-5 hours. The gal there was really nice and did everything she could to make me feel better, and eventually - I got over it....Just in time to find out there was a couple who left early b/c they got into a big fight! Bad for them, but good for us! So around 7:30, they got is in. I was so glad we waited! It was as great of an experience as I expected. We got to sit at the "bar" area, so it was fun to watch all the cook's in action, and they were quite friendly chatting us up as we learned about some of their dishes.
I definitely recommend this place if you want a unique fun experience and have an open mind. A few words of warning though - as I have already stressed - be ready to get there early. Be ready to not make the seating...and if you do be ready to have a pretty hefty tab at the end of the night. If you go to the place with an amount of money you have in mind that you want to spend, sit on the side that isn't controlled by the owner. My husband and I's tab was well over 200 that night. The owner serves you what he wants to serve you and when...and this goes for both food and drinks!
Pretty much the best meal of my life – I was fortunate enough to go with someone who had been before, along with another friend, so was warned as to what to expect. Laurie and Phred are the owners and they were both in house and some of the nicest people I've ever met. We had delicious wine in our hand almost as soon as we sat down. We were asked how hungry we were and if there were any dislikes or allergies and then we were completely in their hands. Course after course both of wine and food and it was all delicious. The ravioli especially made me get a little weepy it was so good. I can hardly wait to go back!
Ah, there's no '0'-star rating, I see. – Having seen Mr. Hyde, I wonder if I should go again and see if the 5-stars people heap on this nauseous hole is associated with a Dr. Jekyll. Nah! Life is way too short.
Apart from the much-reported wine snobbery, this place took the cake for the relative indifference extended to a customer (wife) that got sick.
Oh, add me to the list of people that were mysteriously overcharged.
Completely Unique (good), Completely Affordable (better) – This wonderfully unique restaurant hidden away serves right up until 11:59 pm with out a rolled eye or evil glance from an irritated waiter, and without a single sacrafice in the quality of their 3 hour dinner service. Imagine a place where you go for the experience of food and wine paired for you at every meal. While Phred's (co-owner/waiter/sommolier) style as described by other reviewers herein seems off putting at first - once I took a deep breath and gave up control, I found that I loved the little surprises he came up with. It blends all the best parts of going over to your favorite neighborhood spot and eating dinner at your best friends house (the one who knows a lot about wine). Once I got past what I thought a restaurant meal should be and focused on the amazing food and great decor - I really enjoyed myself as much as a multi-course chef's dinner at a 5-star reasturant without the 13 peices of silverware next to my plate. And just when I got scared to death of what the bill would look like with this guy pouring me what seemed to be bottomless glasses of wine over 3 hours - he gives me a check for what could have easily been tax alone at some of its competitors. With only a handful of tables, I guess I understand the no Rez. policy, I just wish I could get in more - althought the wait in the bar next door was quite pleasent - just don't expect to be seated right away. All in all - I was blown away and haven't been able to stop telling people about a dinning experience as unique and fun as The Ruins is quirky, or Canlis is formal. If you like to show off for your company on what wine you order or are a controlling type in general - this is not going to leave you a happy camper, but if you go out to eat as much as I do and find even the best reasturants in town blending together - then you've got to go to Elemental.
This place way over served me. This is not hospitality, it is dangerous. – I enjoy fine dining. I enjoy delicious liquor, unique flavor combinations, and creative menus. This restaurant has those things in spades. I wish I could recommend it, but instead I must give a warning: they served me far too much to drink. I blacked out by the end of my meal. I do not remember paying. I do not remember getting back to my hotel room. Anything could have happened to me between the restaurant and my room. Luckily my dinning partner chose not to drink the last three drinks that were brought to the table, and he thinks he remembers that we were perfectly safe. I have no idea. The waiter did not find out if we were driving, did not find out if we had a cab, just allowed us to walk out the door when we were visibly too drunk to be safe.
Obviously it was my choice to drink everything that was brought to the table, and doubtless many of you will disregard this warning. But I am not an inexperienced diner or an inexperienced drinker. I was caught off guard by the fine dining atmosphere, and I wasn't expecting to have to watch myself. I never have encountered this level of automatic serving. I was served three drinks, within fifteen minutes, before any food was brought out. Then one or two glasses of wine arrived with each course. I don't remember how many courses there were. I was given no warning that the drinks would continue to arrive in such copious amounts, so I did not begin with caution, and by the end of the meal, all caution had flown out the door. Yet I continued to be served.
This is not hospitality. Everything was delicious, the tastes were superb, the presentation was flashy. But that was all it was. Flash. I would have been safer in a bar in Pioneer Square than I was in that establishment.
Wonderful Dinner – We went to New Years Eve dinner and yes we did have to wait. We simply went and had a drink then came back at the time Phred suggested. Each course of food was truly amazing. Small portions, sharing plates, and very interesting flavor combinations. I went with someone who knows wines and they loved the wine pairings.
The chef came out and talked with us as the evening wound down, she very friendly and pleasant. Phred came by and said that he had another wine for us to try "just for fun."
The value was tremendous....4 of us ate 6 courses and drank 10-15 wines/each for $200 total. We even wrote in an extra tip when there wasn't room on the receipt.
For those who make special requests or want to be seated right away DON'T GO.
If you are okay putting your dining experience in the hands of these two food and wine experts it is a real treat.
Simply amazing and best value in Seattle – I went into this experience mindful of all the previous reviews, not sure whether I was have the Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde experience. And, honestly, I had both. When we arrived (about 8:45), we were greeted by nothing other than a sign telling us they were full and we wouldn't be helped and that tables typically became available at 8:30. There was nary a soul to greet us or assist us, so we went next door to Elemental Next Door (which was serving the same menu that evening, New Year's Eve). We wandered over to a "bar" where two diners were eating. A real person coldly (oh, so coldly) told us there was probably about a 45-minute wait and to have a seat on the bench at the entrance (as opposed to the comfortable stools at the bar). A group of four people who were seated at a six-top invited us to join their table. We happily agreed, but the woman who told us about the wait said, "At least let us set it up." So we went back to the cold, hard bench to wait. After 20 minutes, we realized we were not going to be allowed to sit with the fun group at the six-top. Meanwhile, servers were walking in and out, completely ignoring us. Inwardly seething, I was determined to see the experience through.
Finally, after 45 minutes, a server comes, thanks us for our patience and provides us a table. From then on, it was the most magical dining experience I've ever had. As soon as we had a table, we were treated like kings. The food was spectacular, the wine pairing were perfect and the service suddenly turned warm and friendly. And we were amazed at how inexpensive it all was!
Here's the secret to enjoying Elemental -- be prepared for an ice-cold greeting and surrender completely to the experience. Control freaks will hate it, but for those with an adventurous spirit and that certain "joie de vivre," you'll have an experience of a lifetime.

Justine Wise Polier, 1903 - 1987
"Passionate concern may lead to errors of judgment, but the lack of passion in the face of human wrong leads to spiritual bankruptcy..."
An outspoken activist and a "fighting judge," Justine Wise Polier was the first woman Justice in New York. For 38 years she used her position on the Family Court bench to fight for the rights of the poor and disempowered. She strove to implement juvenile justice law as treatment, not punishment, making her court the center of a community network that encompassed psychiatric services, economic aid, teachers, placement agencies, and families.
A prolific writer and a passionate speaker, she lent her voice to the struggle against injustice whenever she saw it. Her words went everywhere, from popular articles to endless letters to the editor, to legal journals. No matter what the personal cost, she was brutally honest about her experiences with a system that often failed the very children it was created to protect.
For Polier, to be a Jew meant an unwavering commitment to uphold the rights of all people. Though she came from a privileged background, she had a deep understanding of how the sufferings of poverty and racism brought most children to her court. Never naive, always with a clear view of the ways in which power worked, she remained firm in her faith that championing the cause of justice could truly change the world.
- "Passionate concern may lead to..." quote from Justine Wise Polier, "Basic Elements of Friendly Frontiers," Christ Church, October 14, 1952, Justine Wise Polier papers, box 45, folder 563. Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, page 3.
- Caption to Justine Wise Polier with Mrs. Andre Taylor...: the quote "One of the most troubling aspects..." is from Justine Wise Polier, Oral History, conducted by Columbia University, Butler Library, Oral History Research Office, [1982], Polier papers box 1, folder 3, page 5-6
- Caption to Justine Wise Polier: the quote "There was nothing soft or charitable..." is from an observation written by a Teacher's College student after a field trip to Polier's court, 1943, Polier Papers, box 3, folder 28.

Read the Life Support column on page 20 for information you can use to solve this case study. To see how some of today's CME leaders would solve this, to post your own solution, or to read more of this continuing series, go to Medical Meetings' Web site, mm.meetingsnet.com, and look for Calling All Future CME Leaders.
You have been the vice president for medical education in your hospital — a major regional medical center — for the past two years. During that time you and two coordinators have been responsible for CME for the 235 physicians that serve the medical center. They have expected CME activities based upon their specialty on a regular basis (grand rounds and weekly/monthly conferences). Your CME Advisory Committee, which existed prior to your arrival, is composed of eight physicians representing most of the specialties in the medical center. The eight members have served on the committee for more than 10 years, since its inception by your predecessor. They meet once a year to identify the topics for the regular recurring activities.
This has been a frustration for you, since the committee is chaired by an older, well-respected physician who does not believe in making major changes in something that he believes works well. As a new VP for medical education, you believe there is an opportunity to change CME to demonstrate that it can improve performance in practice and the quality of care provided by the medical center health care team.
Two months ago, a new chief executive officer was employed by the medical center. He has a strong belief in quality improvement for all aspects of the medical center and he expects significant changes in the organizational performance very soon. A sense of urgency has been created that fits your expectations for CME and its future role in the new organizational culture. Interestingly, it has caught the attention of your CME Advisory Committee Chair, but not the other members of the committee.
What do you need to do to develop a guiding coalition to lead this new direction for CME in your medical center?

most beautiful venue in Tampa's history! – I've never been in a place, even while living in New York, with such attention to detail, service, and atmosphere. I've been attending all of the various concerts at Twilight, and I thought it was pretty much a concert venue. Then I went out with my pals on a Saturday evening and couldn't believe how beautiful the women were, including the bartenders, and how great the music was. They have this VIP lounge made from huge curved glass panels, so we could watch downstairs while hanging out with all of the pretty people. This place is great.

Mean Green Down Valpo 7-1 on Sunday
Sunday, October 03, 2004Five first half goals were more than enough for North Texas, as the Mean Green defeated Valparaiso 7-1 on Sunday afternoon in Denton, Texas.
Melinda Pena scored three times in the first 23:15 of the match helping lead to the 5-0 advantage at the intermission.
Courtney Rahrig (Centennial, Colo./J.K. Mullen H.S.) scored on a Britta Zewers (Shoreview, Minn./Mounds View H.S.) rebound at 64:38 to put Valpo on the board, but the Mean Green added a sixth goal less than a minute and a half later, and added the final goal in the 83rd minute.
North Texas (8-3) outshot Valpo 24-5 for the match. Erin Murray (Pleasanton, Calif./Amador Valley H.S.) made six first half saves for the Crusaders, while Danielle Guerra (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton H.S.) made five stops in the second half. Briana Buchanan made the lone save for North Texas in the first half.
Valparaiso (3-6-1) will return to action on Friday afternoon as the Crusaders host North Dakota State in a match beginning at 4 p.m. at Eastgate Field.

Rock lobsters: Rainbow of colored crustaceans on the rise
Once considered an exceedingly rare occurrence, reports of live lobsters sporting an array of unusual colors are becoming increasingly common. According to the Associated Press, lobsters that are blue, orange, yellow, white and even two-toned are being caught in fishing nets along the East Coast up to several times a month. As to why there are so many more instances of the genetically mutated lobsters, experts say it's anybody's guess.
"Are we seeing more because the Twitter sphere is active and people get excited about colorful lobsters?" said Michael Tlusty, research director at the New England Aquarium in Boston to AP. "Is it because we're actually seeing an upswing in them? Is it just that we're catching more lobsters so we have the opportunity to see more? Right now you can make a lot of explanations, but the actual data to find them out just isn't there."

"The clean lines of the card's design, the sharpness of the lettering nd font used, the quality of the pearlized paper board stock, and the dimensions of the card all work extremely well together to make a superb card. Absolutely thrilled with it and will certainly order more and also a new design from tinyprints in the future."
"We have reordered this card 3 or 4 times. I gave it to my husband as a Christmas stocking gift and he LOVED it. Now he wants only this card and keeps asking me to reorder. We purchase 250 at a time so imagine how many he has already given out. We do it in grey with his name in a wine color. Very masculine."
"I just received my cards and I love them!! I wish that there were coordinating products like stationary and invites. I would like to see more products available for businesses!"
"I found the site really easy to use. I added my own photo. The cards are really high quality and I chose the pearl finish, which is beautiful. I'm proud to hand out my cards."
"I used this card for my new Custom House Cleaning business. Everyone comments on how cute my card is! It was so easy to make. I especially like that I was able to put additional information (services provided, hours available, etc.) on the back of the card. I put my business logo in the front photo area and all my contact information to the right. I am very happy with how they turned out! Thank you, Tiny Prints!"

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - October is Fire Prevention Month. The State Fire Marshal's Office is presenting fire safety information on Friday at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
"For too many years, Tennessee has occupied an undesirable ranking in the country for fire deaths. One fire death is too many, honestly. Friday, we'll be talking about the steps we will be taking, along with local fire departments, to reverse this horrible trend through education and support," Department of Commerce and Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Julie Mix McPeak said.
There will be safety demonstrations, and personnel will be on hand to present fire safety information. You can also tour the Bomb and Arson Squad's Special Operations Response Team truck.
McPeak said in a news release, "We want Tennesseans to be aware of risks in the home that can lead to fatal fires. For example, falling asleep while smoking in bed or in a comfortable chair remains a significant cause of fire deaths in Tennessee. Having operable smoke alarms in the home makes a significant difference in enabling someone to escape a burning home."
If you can't make it out to hear the tips first hand, here are some tips to share with your family:

With its integrated third-party technologies, Hurley aims to make the Phantom Dimension one of the best performance boardshorts in the world. Advanced waterproofing, recycled materials, and welded construction enhance the shorts' dynamic design. These boardshorts come in a variety of slick styles for you to choose from.
The Phantom Dimension boardshorts boast Phantom 4-way stretch fabric that keeps you feeling protected, but not inhibited.

Phantom boardshorts strive for optimal weight and density of fabric. The result is a short that is lightweight enough to feel free and agile without being flimsy. To ensure that the Phantom Dimension maintains its desired weight even after submersion, Hurley borrows Nike's Performance Water Repellency (PWR) finish to prevent soaking.

Hurley uses recycled polyester material to build the Phantom Dimension boardshorts--that's up to 12 plastic bottles for every pair. In choosing Phantom boardshorts, you are doing your part in keeping the oceans clean for generations of surfers to come.

Kid Rock
Born in Romeo, Michigan, Rock was a rapper and hip hop performer with 5 releases between 1990 and 1997, including a reissue and an EP. After signing a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 1998, he gained commercial success in the rap-rock genre behind the singles "Bawitdaba", "Cowboy" and "Only God Knows Why". After Devil Without a Cause's success in 2000, he released The History of Rock, a compilation of remixed and remastered versions of songs from previous albums as well as the hit rock single, "American Bad Ass".
Rock's follow-up records became more rock-, country-, and blues-oriented, starting with 2001's Cocky. His collaboration with Sheryl Crow on the song "Picture" was his first country hit and biggest pop hit in the US to date charting at No. 4 on the Hot 100. After 2003's Kid Rock and 2006's Live Trucker sales declined from the previous releases, he then released Rock n Roll Jesus in 2007. The album featured the song "All Summer Long", which charted at No. 1 in eight countries across Europe and Australia. In 2010, he released Born Free, which featured an eponymous song that became the political campaign theme of Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election.

Posted Wednesday September 04, 2013, About: Barea won't close the door on Dallas
JJ Barea... forever a Mav!
Posted Sunday September 01, 2013, About: NBA team exec: Troubled Lamar Odom 'can't play anymore'
This dude can still play.... at your local YMCA that is.
Posted Friday July 12, 2013, About: Why Mavs' biggest catch picked Dallas
Ya'll should have been following my Mavs back when Ross Perot Jr. owned the team. Now that was messed up. Third rate hotels and rookies chasing burgers and fries in the middle of the hood at 2am in the morning on behalf of team veterans. They were but one idiot away from being yet another crime statistic. Nowadays both the home and visiting teams are treated to a gourmet buffet after every home game. The players and their families can thank Mark for that. And don't forget about the new CBA agreement and how it motivated the roster changes. My Mavs caught magic in a bottle in 2011 and everyone on the team and in the front office knew it including Dirk. And they could just as easily been swept out of the first round in '11 versus Portland after winning the first two games had a few plays gone the other way. I'm 'jest keepin' it real.
Posted Thursday July 11, 2013, About: Howard wanted Kobe gone

Posted Monday February 25, 2013, About: NBA debating fine for Mark Cuban's 'Kobe' comment
Yep... I agree.
Posted Saturday February 09, 2013, About: Shawn Marion won't report to bad team if traded
Hey big feller'... we needs ya and don't you listen to any of dem' previously posted crappy comments. 'Dem folks don't knows what dey be talkin' abouts. Time to gear up as a team and secure the eighth seed. Yippers, da' Mavs is gonna punk 'dem SA Spuds in round one I tells ya!

The kiddies have individual US passports and are also on DH's Egyptian passport (kids do not have individual passports in Egypt). The main advantage is that we don't need to get visas for the kids when we visit Egypt... nor US visas when we come home. They enter Egypt on their Dad's passport, and then enter the US on their American passports.
The military service thing isn't an issue for dual-national kids.

UTSA Varsity Club
The UTSA Varsity Club is the official club for former letterwinners at The University of Texas at San Antonio. As a former letterwinner, we encourage your active participation which will have a tremendous, positive impact on current student-athletes.
As you know, the core values that are taught within the athletics program play an integral part in preparing students for life after college and for entering the workforce.

Mission Statement
"Athletes Helping Athletes™"
This is accomplished through a variety of different programs, benefits and initiatives. Some of these include:
- Providing a contribution to the general scholarship of the sport obtaining the highest team grade-point-average for the year.
- Providing a contribution to the general scholarship of the sport with the most improved team grade-point-average for the year.
- Endowing scholarships that allow deserving student-athletes to obtain a proper education while attending UTSA.
- Establishing career opportunities for graduating student-athletes by networking with former student-athletes throughout the country.
- Initiating ongoing fundraising efforts to endow further scholarships to benefit future scholar-athletes that wish to learn and participate at UTSA.
- Recognizing the very best athletes that represented UTSA during their time at the University through the nomination, election and induction process of the UTSA Hall of Fame.
There are many additional benefits that the group strives to provide. Yet all of the efforts are designed to accomplish one major focus: to have former athletes continue to give back and help current athletes.

Well, shit. It looks like i'm in quitte some financial trouble right now.
Just before the summer holiday i graduated from my previous education, so naturally i sign up for another one.
The teacher who usually does the intakes ensured me that everything would be allright and he'd be in touch.
Leaving me under the impression that i had nothing to worry about.
however, I just found out that there is a whole lot to worry about.
for one, my scholarship has been canceled and i now have an enormous debt (about €3300) AND a fine for "miss using" my student bus pass.
As it turns out, my student application has probably been tossed on a goddamn pile and eventually made it's way into the trash.
which wouldn't suprise me in the least, seen as i haven't received any confirmation from school whatsoever besides a confirmation e-mail you usaully get.
In other words, I am up to my shoulders in shit. especially since i have only like €225 to my name and usually spend around €600 on rent, electricity, heat and water.
Now, if i still had a scholarship this wouldn't be a problem. Sadly this is not the case.
I am totally shitting bricks right now. hell, if shit gets worse i might as well end myself.

Tips: Watch the ferry schedule and keep track of the time. It's easy to find yourself racing to catch the last ferries back to shore.
Park store, segway rental, bus rours. Nearly everybody coming to Angel Island starts here and the cove gets quite busy.
Local boaters have the dock and buoys in the cove and some tie up for overnight stays. It's also common to see kayaks stopping by for day trips.
The cove also has plenty of picnic benches.
The park museum needs to be visited for an overview of the island's long history. There are some very well put together interpretive displays.
There is both a road and trail up to the Perimeter Road.
Bikes are required to take the switchback trail so as not to disturb the group picnic sites located here. The paved road does provide a workout on its way up to the Perimeter Road.
Intersection with the Perimeter Road. Follow the road clockwise around the island.
Alaya Cove overlook and across Raccoon Straits to Tiberon and Sausalito.
Alaya Cove overlook and across Raccoon Straits to Tiberon and Sausalito.
Trail down to Camp Reynolds (West Garrison) and the island's earliest military camp. Some of the buildings date to the Civil War period. One can walk the parade ground and see the brick hospital (1908). Additional structures include the chapel, mule barn, officers quarters, barracks, and storerooms. There are periodic cannon firings with park... More
Battery Wallace, Battery Ledyard and Coast Guard Property (Point Knox). Great Golden Gate and San Francisco views and old gun emplacements to explore.
Battery Ledyard, built on the site of the old Point Knox Civil War battery. The battery was named after 1st Lt. August C. Ledyard, who was killed in action on the Island of Negros, Philippine... More
The old trail down to Perles Beach and Point Knox. Part of this route washed out in a slide.
A better access point down to Perles beach.
Trail down to Perles Beach and Point Knox. Part of this route washed out in a slide.
Battery Wallace was built above and behind Ledyard, and armed with a single eight-inch rifle on a disappearing carriage. The battery was named after 1st Lt. Robert B. Wallace, 2nd U.S. Cavalry, who died Mar 13, 1900 of wounds received in action at Caloocan,... More
Drinking water.
Side road that returns to the Perimeter Road at point 50.
View point. Battery Drew is just around the corner.
Battery Drew was named after 1st Lt. Alfred W. Drew who was killed in action at Angles, Luzon, Philippine Islands on Aug 19, 1899. Construction started in 1898 and was completed in 1898. Deactivated in 1917.
San Francisco Bay Front, Alcatraz, and the Bay Bridge views.
Drinking water and side roads access to other trails.
Another viewpoint of San Francisco.
Trails to the upper island.
More San Francisco Bay Views.
Entrance to the Cold War era Nike Missile Battery.
A Nike anti-aircraft missile site - one of eleven Nike batteries built in the Bay Area during the Cold War, just behind Point Blunt.
The battery had three launching sections, each one with four missile launchers. Nike-Ajax missiles - liquid-fueled missiles carrying TNT warheads - had a range... More
Road to the Point Blunt Light Coast Guard Station.
Drinking water and service road. The old buildings were officers quarters. Quite a few of these structures now house park staff.
The road to the right heads down to Fort McDowell (East Garrison). These buildings have been used as both barracks and hospital during Pacific conflicts through WW II. On the way down, adjacent to the road on the lower field is one of the few restrooms on the island.
Shady spot and general gathering place. Group picnic area and access down to Fort McDowell. Very attractive old architecture and officer's quarters.
Primary intersection down to Fort McDowell. The Visitor Center is down the side road and self guided tours around the complex of abandoned structures. The beach at this garrison is one of the better ones on the island and is sheltered from most of the weather coming in through the Golden Gate. The water is cold but swimable.
Road down to the Immigration Station.
The road down is steep! Kids and older folks should take it slowly. The Immigration Station represents an amazing and rarely told story regarding the policies and treatment of West Coast immigrants early in the 20th Century that had its roots in the mid 1800's.
The station is a work in progress to recreate... More
Pt. Campbell and a view of Tiberon, the San Rafael Bridge, and San Pablo Bay.
Return to the road down to Alaya Cove.
Check the time! Don't miss the last ferries off the island!

Relevance and quality guidelines
Microsoft's primary goal is to provide an effective advertising experience for our advertisers, as well as a relevant, positive experience for consumers seeking products, services, and content on our search network and content network.
Our relevance and quality policy focuses on four core aspects of your campaign that affect user experience:
- Keyword relevancy – How relevant are the keywords you choose?
- Ad copy (title, text, and display URL) - Do you have a highly relevant, accurate, well written ad?
- Landing page and site user experience- How does your site navigation and functionality affect users?
- Landing page and site content quality - Does your site offer valuable content of use to users?
How does this policy affect your ad delivery?
- Advertisers with more relevant keywords and higher quality ads and landing pages are usually rewarded with more prominent ad positions or a lower cost per click (CPC).
- Less relevant keywords and low-quality ads and landing pages might result in less favorable ad positions or a higher CPC.
- In some cases, the ad might not appear at all. Please check the Marketplace Exclusion section below for scenarios in which ads or sites may be completely excluded from the marketplace.
Please ensure your keyword, ad and landing page choices meet the policies below.
Keyword relevancy
Using the right techniques in choosing keywords and building ads not only drives user engagement, but it also helps maintain the ROI of the marketplace for all advertisers.
Keywords should be relevant. This means your site should be a satisfactory destination for users, based on a primary user intent of the keyword(s) you select.
Your keywords should relate directly to either:
- The specific range of products, services, or content on your landing page.
- The general content, purpose, and theme of your site.
Please note: extremely popular or trending queries may be subject to a higher standard of relevancy and ads must fully align with the primary user intent of the keywords/queries to participate.
Ad copy (title, text, and display URL)
Ads must:
- Be clear, truthful and accurate - Clearly and accurately demonstrate in your ad how your keywords relate to the product or service you offer.
- Be correctly constructed - Ads should be grammatically correct, not include misspellings, and be formatted correctly.
- Manage expectations
- Ads should not mislead.
- Ads must be highly relevant to the product, services or information presented on your landing page, or the general content, purpose, and theme of your site.
For information about how to format and create your ads, please see our Ad Content and Style Guidelines.
Marketplace exclusion
Sites may be excluded if there is reason to believe that their advertising or business practices are potentially malicious, harmful or deceptive or they consistently violate Microsoft's policies. For more information, please see the User Safety and Privacy Guidelines.
The following are examples of sites that may be completely excluded from the marketplace:
- Sites that include viruses, malware, spyware, or other self-installing programs.
- Business models that attempt to mislead site visitors, or that seem deceptive or fraudulent.
- Phishing sites that try to trick visitors into sharing personal data for fraudulent purposes, such as stealing one's identity.
- Pages that consist entirely of advertising, or whose main purpose is to direct site visitors to advertising.
- Link farms.
- Parked domains.
- Sites operated by advertisers who consistently violate our Editorial Policies or submit large numbers of irrelevant keywords.
Landing page and site user experience
The functionality of your site should not surprise site visitors or interfere with a user's ability to navigate. Navigation buttons should operate in a standard and predictable manner, and sites and page content should load properly.
Landing page behavior may provide a low-value user experience if they:
- Redirect site visitors unexpectedly to unrelated domains.
- Use doorway pages, or cloaking.
- Without the users consent:
- Change browser preferences or resetting default home pages.
- Resize browser windows or disabling browser buttons.
- Spawn multiple pop-ups or pop-ups that prevent visitors from leaving the site.
- Do not open properly or consistently result in a product not available message.
Landing page and site content quality
The below guidelines apply to the following markets: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States.
Generally, we consider content to be valuable if it enables users to find the products, services or information they request easily, or assists users by informing or shortening their buying, or research process. Your landing page should provide clear, direct access to content that is related to your ads and keywords and should not obstruct, delay or confuse users. Landing page and site content should not function primarily to support the display of advertising or attract traffic.
Sites or landing pages may be considered low quality content if they:
- Display a high density of advertising above the fold, and/or consist significantly of advertising or links.
- Feature content that functions primarily to support ad monetization.
- Are built for search engines, featuring excessive off-topic keywords or pages that feature hard-to-read text.
- Consistently feature sparse or limited content, particularly where the user would expect to find a range of offers, products or information on a similar site.
- Have as the sole purpose to redirect to other businesses, without adding significant value as an intermediary, for example, by providing enhanced pricing, product or merchant information.
- Misrepresent the origin or intent of their content and as a result are likely to deceive a portion of the target audience.
- Requires the entry of personal data unnecessary for the purposes of providing services or completing a purchase.
- Please note, sites driving users directly to a sign up or login page must enable the user to link back to the main homepage or supporting content describing services and terms of use.
- Delay or obstruct the user's access to requested content, products or services by adding steps solely designed to monetize the user
- Employ marketing tactics that might be considered evasive, overly sensational or potentially confusing.

Stocks finished near session lows in choppy trading Wednesday, with the Dow and S&P wiping out all of the previous session's gains led by financials, as investors continued to cautiously monitor developments in the European banks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 519.83 points, or 4.62 percent, to finish at 10,719.94, wiping out the previous session's 429-point rally. The blue-chip index has had triple-digit moves in four of the last five trading days.
The Dow has now lost over 2,000 points, or nearly 16 percent, in the last 14 trading sessions (or since the close on Jul. 21). It's the Dow's worst 14-day decline since March 2009.
Disney and BofA led the blue-chip decliners.
The S&P 500 lost 51.77 points, or 4.42 percent, to close at 1,120.76.
The Nasdaq dropped 101.47 points, or 4.09 percent, to end at 2,381.05.
Both the S&P and Nasdaq have shed almost 17 percent over the past 13 trading sessions (or since the close on Jul. 13), which is the worst 13-day drop since Mar. 2009 and Nov. 2008, respectively.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, soared more than 20 percent.
Volume was heavy again with the consolidated tape of the NYSE at 7.91 billion shares, while 2.14 billion shares changed hands on the floor.
"In the long run, [volatility] is something we're going to have to get used to until we get two things answered: One is the once-and-for-all solution to the euro zone debt crisis and the other is political consensus in Washington," Art Hogan, managing director of Lazard Capital Markets told CNBC.
On Tuesday, stocks surged to see its biggest one-day gain since May 2010in wild day of trading even after the Federal Reserve's statement promising to hold interest rates at their current low level for the next two yearsdid little to alleviate fears over the economy.
According to a Reuters poll, economists saw odds of around one-in-three that the U.S. will slip back into recession, heightening expectations the Fed will launch another round of monetary easing.
Goldman Sachs also reviewed its position on monetary stimulus, saying there is a chance that the Fed will resume quantitative easing later this year or in early 2012.
Financials led the market lower, dropping more than 7 percent—Bank of America plunged 10 percent after the financial giant agreed to sell part of its home-loan portfolio to Fannie Mae in an effort to shed assets and pare its exposure to an array of mortgage woes, according to the Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, at least two brokerages cut their price targets on the firm. BofA has plunged over 15 percent over the last week.
Rivals Citigroup , Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley also plunged nearly 10 percent each.
Meanwhile, Bank of New York Mellon said it is cutting 1,500 jobs as part of the bank's expense-reduction program.
HSBC confirmed it was selling its $30 billion U.S. credit card arm to Capital One Financial for a premium of $2.6 billion, as Europe's top bank streamlines its operations by getting rid of unwanted businesses.
European shares tumbled sharply, led by steep declines in French banks. Societe Generale and BNP Paribas plummeted amid rumors that France might lose its AAA rating. Meanwhile, Moody's reiterated its AAA rating on France and maintained its stable outlook on the country.
Meanwhile, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said he "is comfortable" with his firm's exposure in Europe and reassured investors that while U.S. banks may be facing numerous headwinds, they are not "zombies."
"Honestly, most of that stuff is hogwash," Dimon told CNBC, referring to well-known analyst Meredith Whitney's comments that large financials are "turning into zombies" because they have little net worth but are backed by the government and continue to meet their obligations.
Gold prices soaredtobriefly surpass $1,800 an ounce. (Read More: What's the Best Way to Invest in Gold?)
On the earnings front, Disney dropped almost 10 percent even after the conglomerate beat both profit and revenue expectations. In addition, at least four brokerages cut their price targets on the firm.
Macy's finished lower after the department-store chain reported a higher-than-expected profitand raised its earnings forecast. Meanwhile, Polo Ralph Lauren was among the few gainers on the S&P 500 after the retailer said its earnings surged on better-than-expected sales overseas.
Tech bellwether Cisco and media giant NewsCorp are slated to post earnings after-the-bell tonight.
Treasury prices gainedafter the government auctioned $24 billion in 10-year notes at a high yield of 2.140 percent and a bid-to-cover of 3.22. The government is scheduled to auction $16 billion in 30-year bonds on Thursday.
On the economic front, wholesale inventories posted their smallest gain in seven months as sales rebounded more than expected, according to the Commerce Department.
And weekly mortgage applications gained last weekas interest rates plunged to their lowest level in 2011, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

"Ordered these for my 2 year old as thank you cards. they are just adorable. and the photo I put in the back came out very nice. overall great design and great quality."
"I bought these for my best friend who loves bulldogs. She just bought a new house so I thought she would like some stationary as she'll most likely be getting housewarming presents and need to send some thank-yous. (I also personalized the envelopes with her new return address). She was very excited and loves them! They are matte (not glossy like I thought) but they are very cute and a good deal."
"I ordered these as thank you cards for my baby shower since we are having a boy and currently have two dogs. The cards are very cute and make for a perfect thank you card. It was great to find something that was such a perfect fit."
"I was thrilled when I received our baby shower thank you cards not only because they were adorable but the process was so easy. I was able to get someone on the "chat line" to resolve a question I had in a matter of minutes so I literally spent a few minutes ordering them. I was also very pleased with the promotional discounts and the quick shipping. They have been an absolute hit with our family and friends. It's easy to pick up generic thank you cards but it shows care and thought when they're personalized. Love them and Love Tiny Prints! PS - I've also used you for 3 seperate baby shower invitations and have never been disappointed. Your my go-to for personalized stationary!"
"This card was perfect as a thank you note following several baby showers held for our first child, a boy. Everyone knew the nursery was a puppy theme and that we already had two dogs that he would grow up with. The card is simple, with just the right colors and graphics and enough room to write more than just "thank you". Those that received the note just loved it!"

Picture #1. I see a horizontal line but no crosshairs. Picture #2 is overkill for your purposes. You just need a sanitary tee turned to the side and a pipe over to the location with an elbow on the end Picture #3, WRONG coupling.
I'm in the process of moving a drain in a non-load bearing wall for a vanity I'm installing. I've carefully staked out the new location of the drain to correspond with the square factory cutout on the back of the vanity. I've attached a few pictures:
(1) Pic 1: Current location. New location is marked by "cross-hairs" on the cardboard attached to the wall studs.
(2) Pic 2: Picture from a plumbing book I've been using.
(3) Pic 3: Coupling I was going to use at one of the ABS pipe joints. The rest of the joints would utilize rigid ABS couplings.
Does this seem like a good plan? I'll obviously have to pay attention to the location of other plumbing lines and electrical lines. This work will be inspected by the city when I'm finished.

Like hj mentions; Cut out the lav santee, and replace with one pointing toward the right, and then 90 out of the wall there.
The correct couplings woud be a metal shield coupling.

I've attached a better pic that includes lines drawn with a sharpie; the cross-hairs represent the center point inside the square drain opening on the back of the vanity. I also drew lines on the studs to represent the top and bottom of the vanity's square opening. Since I need to clear the shutoff valves to tee off to the right, how high can I go with a new tee?
Assuming the existing trap is properly vented, if you turned the fitting (it will require cutting and replacing) to run along the wall, the vent is close enough so that you can just run it horizontally and then turn it out of the wall where you need it. It should have a downward slope from where it turns out from the wall back to the new fitting.

The height of the tee is determined by the counter height.
In the 70's, we roughed at 18" for a 30" counter
Then at 20" for a 32"
If you have a 36", then maybe 24"
All of this has a little plus or minus, and depends on the depth of the bowl. An undermount may drop things a bit.
If the copper is in the way, get rid of it, run the waste and then put the copper back around it.
Waste has to grade down, water supply can go in circles if needed.
I took some measurements. I've also included pics of the vanity. Also, I'm not sure if I'll need the flexible coupling, but Home Depot only had 1 1/2" to 1 1/4" couplings. Are the couplings with the ribbed shielding the same?:
Bottom of sink from floor: 26 3/4"
Counter height: 34 3/4"
Bottom of current drain pipe from subfloor: approx 16 1/2"
Last edited by diydude; 06-27-2013 at 05:36 PM.
Home Depot has the 1.5" couplings.
Roughing at 20" should be safe if there is not a drawer below.
You can always add tail piece.
I found the shielded coupling at HD. One of the associates and I overlooked it the first time around.
Ok, I have another question: Is there anything wrong with routing the pipe the way I'd originally planned? I forgot that there's some heavy gauge wiring in the wall that's in the path of a straight tee to the new drain location. Higher up the stud, the wiring is set back a bit more, allowing for a notch to be cut for the tee.
Last edited by diydude; 06-27-2013 at 08:41 PM.
I would just turn the santee to the right and use a single trap arm with a 90 looking out.
There is not need to drill over two lines.
What you have drawn with the vent at the top is too low, and it's not even needed.
You showing a line below and a line above when all you need to do is go straight for it.
Last edited by diydude; 06-28-2013 at 11:28 AM.
If you arm over, it's way below the electrical anyway.
If you move over the entire plumbing, then you have to pass it on the way up.
It's one santee, one medium 90 and two couplings and done!
You can remove the existing blocking.
And there is no rule as to where the water needs to be in the cabinet.
I like to have them at least 4" apart so I can work with them. They could both be to one side or vertical.
Last edited by Terry; 06-28-2013 at 11:47 AM.
Ok, I'm going to be moving the drain later this week, but the pipe that the current drain tees off is right at the edge of the soleplate (about 1/4" from the edge). So, it appears that drilling a hole in the stud to the right is out of the question, since the hole needs to be 5/8"+ from the stud edge. Also, the coupling for the new 1 1/2" pipe tee will fall right on the wall stud when turned to the right to run the new line; if I notch the stud, I may violate code, as the coupling is 2 1/4" in diameter. Suggestions? Does this possibly require moving the whole vertical pipe to the new stud bay?

The goal of the Disaster Restoration and Reconstruction Management (DRRM) concentration is to prepare students to enter the disaster restoration subsector of the construction industry with enhanced skills and knowledge of typical restoration requirements, equipment, techniques, and management concerns. Successful completion of the two DRRM courses will impart many skills required of entry-level professionals in the disaster recovery industry. The emphasis of the first course is breadth of exposure to new terminology, job roles, restoration techniques and special business concerns. The second course develops the subjects more deeply and integrates them to provide students with many skills essential for disaster recovery project managers.
Upon completion of the following plan of study and the core requirements of the BCM degree program, the student receives the "Disaster Restoration and Reconstruction Management Concentration" designation on their transcript. Students who choose to pursue the DRRM concentration complete the required courses of the BCM program, plus an additional six (6) credit hours of courses, which are specific to disaster recovery management. Interested students should note that the studies do not include emergency response or emergency management. Neither do the courses develop concepts of pre-event hazard mitigation. Instead, the concentration teaches about contractor activities after emergency conditions have stabilized, when they can safely move into stricken regions to restore and reconstruct the built environment.
Plan of Study
- BCM 320 Introduction to Disaster Restoration and Reconstruction Management (3 credit hours)
- BCM 321 Disaster Restoration and Reconstruction Project Management (3 credit hours)
Total: 6 Credit Hours

Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., is right: an independent counsel should be named to investigate national security leaks that may have come from the White House.
Information on several classified activities, ranging from anti-terrorism missions to Iran's nuclear program, has leaked to the news media during the past several months. There have been allegations the White House is responsible for the leaks in a move intended to boost President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
The Justice Department is investigating. But, as Lieberman points out, that brings up an appearance of conflict of interest. A special counsel should be named for the probe.

With Thanksgiving behind us, it's time to start talking holiday shopping! Ali and John discuss how hard it is to shop in NYC during the holidays -- which is why Ali does all of her shopping on eBay. The pair also talk about what's appropriate for women near or over 40 years old to wear. From Heidi Klum to Pamela Anderson, these Hollywood starlets have a habit of wearing very revealing clothes.
What do you think about the style of stars over 40? Tell us in the comments!
More can't-miss moments: Ali talks a Stanford University genetics professor who believes computers are making human beings dumber; the number of calories an average person consumes on Thanksgiving -- a whopping 2,500 calories; and BioExplorers, an Israeli company that's trained bomb-sniffing mice.

RADIO // Beyond the SubtitlesJames McAvoy, The Last Station
Hosted by Stephen Schaefer
Originally aired 1/1/10
Amid the bustle of the Regency Hotel's luncheon area, a bearded James McAvoy has retreated to a corner booth where he's on a one day break from the Savannah filming of Robert Redford's The Conspirators--a post Civil War drama about the trial of Lincoln's killers--to visit Manhattan and talk about his role as Valentin Bulgakov in Michael Hoffman's The Last Station. McAvoy discusses the historical accuracy of Hoffman's recreation of the final days of Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) and his battles with his wife Sofya (Helen Mirren) over his copyrights, estate, legacy and--via his lapsed Russian Orthodox Catholicism--his soul (26 minutes).
