PORTLAND - Jessie Grearson of Falmouth, along with her husband and their two daughters, spent a sizable chunk of Sunday morning shoveling snow.
Jessie Grearson of Falmouth talks to Lincoln Jordan and his sister Caitlin Jordan of Alewive's Brook Farm in Cape Elizabeth during a community-supported agriculture fair Sunday at Woodfords Church. Alewive's Brook also allows CSA members to use their credits to buy lobsters.

But for a few hours Sunday afternoon, Grearson forgot all about ice and snow and winter worries. Walking around inside the Woodfords Congregational Church, Grearson and her family met with two dozen local farmers. They spoke of tomatoes and planting seeds and about sharing in a bountiful local harvest.
"There's all these pictures of flowers and vegetables," Grearson said with a dreamy look in her eyes. "And we're looking at our backyard where we're up to our thighs in snow. So this is like a little breath of the future."
All across Maine on Sunday, at about a dozen events, farmers and fans of locally produced food made connections to last through the summer, fall and perhaps even next winter. The fancy name was Meet Your Farmers and Fishermen: a celebration of Community Supported Agriculture and Fisheries, but most referred to it as the annual CSA fair.
In Portland, they gathered inside the Woodfords Congregational Church, sampled brightly hued coleslaw made fresh by folks from Local Sprouts Cafe, and investigated options for buying shares of local farm produce.
Traditional CSA programs involve paying a set fee in winter or early spring and receiving a weekly box of produce throughout the harvest season. A popular option involves paying a certain amount now, say $100, and receiving 110 percent in credit that can be used at the farm stand or at farmers markets so the buyer doesn't get stuck with, say, eight heads of unwanted cabbage.
Some CSA programs, such as one offered by Fresh Start Farms, double the value of food stamps for fresh produce.
"It made a huge difference in people being able to get vegetables that they wouldn't normally be able to get," said Sarah Robinson, office manager of Fresh Start Farms.
"It's great to have the options," said Adrienne Lee of New Beat Farm in Knox, who helped organize the Portland event. "With the traditional model, you usually get more of a discount. But at a farmers market, you get to choose what you get."
Lee said Sunday's Portland CSA fair was double the size of a year ago. Among the farms offering CSA programs for the first time were Emma's Family Farm of Windsor (meat only), Frith Farm of Scarborough (first year in operation) and Green Spark Farm of Cape Elizabeth (second year in operation).
"The average age of the farmers here is quite young, which is very exciting," said Lisa Fernandes of the Eat Local Foods Coalition of Maine. "The number of new farmers per capita in Maine is one of the highest in the nation, and a lot of the new farmers are under 35 years old."
The attraction, Fernandes said, lies in reconnecting to the landscape, in practicing a livelihood that's "not beholden to some of the corporate industrial systems." "And," she said, "there's just an increased demand for local food. The supply side of that equation is catching up in the form of new farmers and more creative ways of getting seafood to market, too."
The Portland CSA fair had no community-supported fishing option other than that offered by Alewive's Brook Farm of Cape Elizabeth, where one can use CSA credit to buy lobsters.
It's the first year that Alewive's has offered any type of CSA, said Caitlin Jordan, whose grandfather Alvin Jordan bought the farm in 1957. She and her brother, Lincoln, 21, a horticulture student at Southern Maine Community College, help run the family farm with their father, Jodie, and two other siblings.

Life as a driver for Smith Transport offers many unique advantages.

This allows us to maintain a position in the market where we have access to large quantities of freight without the headaches and confusion of a large corporation.

Perfect fit for the tele neck pickup kit.
I wanted to write this to help clarify how to change the pickup cover for a Tele. I had purchased a new Fender pickup set with the chrome cover that is the only option it comes with. My guitar is a Samick Korean built with gold hardware. So I ordered the gold cover from StewMac. The cover is so nice and fit perfectly. A few tips: bend tabs back on bottom of the old cover, unsolder the pickup ground wire that attaches to the front single tab, then bend this tab straight to match the other 2 tabs, now heat outside of the pickup with a hairdryer, the wax will warm and loosen, now you should be able to easily remove the old cover. This was all new to me, so I am sharing for those less experienced as I was. As always StewMac delivers quality parts and incredible fast shipping!
I have to rate the chrome pickup cover I received to be of excellent quality, because it is.
I was repairing a tele neck built by one of the most well known pickup builders, was impressed by the quality of his parts...but then got my order of tele neck covers in for some custom work I am doing, and your covers blew his away...I have various parts you win out, hands down...thanks for your parts that make my pickups to be top notch as well..am now in 17 countries, and Stew Mac has helped!companies that provide the best parts on different items...this is one of the
First thing is that these parts come from all over the world. You must consider Thst a PUP cover made in Korea might or might not fit a PUP made in China or Japan. All it takes is to be a few hundredths off and that new part is useless to you. So always measure your parts and before purchasing insist the sellers provide you with their measurements. Saves time money and returned parts. These parts do not fit Chinese PUPs so even though they looked great were useless to me for original PUPs and Guitar Fetish PUPs.
I could not find one anywhere else;it looks great/works perfect. Soldering ground wire is touchy business,but easy enough

The only way to truly appreciate the size and scope of this area is to compare it to the biggest North American resorts. Take Whistler, Mammoth, Squaw, Jackson Hole, and then throw in Vail and maybe Killington and Breckenridge, and you'd still have room left over in Trois Vallées. With infinite terrain and the most sophisticated interconnected lift system in Europe, you could spend a lifetime exploring the limitless peaks and valleys, sampling all the delicious food at the fine French restaurants, and cruising through tiny villages without ever having to take off your skis.
A special case among big French resorts: it is a modern and well-equipped resort which has kept the charm of an old village in Savoy. The most recent buildings respect the rules of the traditional architecture perfectly fitted to the landscape. In the heart of the marvelous skiing area of the ""Trois Vallees"", perfect for the pleasure of people keen on sport and beauty, Meribel is a harmonious resort for skiing with the sun all day long.


text: Haven't you answered your own question? It as fairly new product, so how can there be a "time proven experience"? That said, I would feel pretty comfortable with it. There are other wax-less seals that work well, and I see no reason that the SaniSeal would not be good as well.

An overall good product for the price offered on fragranceX. One thing I want to point out is that when you initially spray this on it does not smell too good and is very overpowering. About half an hour later the intensity goes down and has a nice spicy scent. This would not be my frangrance of preference if I had the choice but it is certainly worth trying.

Comments about Ungaro Iii Cologne:
I was chasing the "original" Ungaro III for a long time. Unfortunately it's hard to get and I decided to get a bottle of the re-formulated one from FragranceX. I went for the tester as it was cheaper and I only bought it for myself, so no dramas here to get an un-boxed bottle.
Great scent, almost the same as the "original" formulation, just slightly weaker. The rose note is still very noticeable and pleasant. The frag lasts for good eight hours on me.
The delivery was surprisingly fast. Looks like FragranceX took all the criticism related to the slow postage onboard and improved it vastly.
Thank you FragranceX.

Comments about Ungaro Iii Cologne:
At first I bought this along side another more sporty cologne which was my favorite. I tried this a few times and it was more strong than I like, at first, so I stopped using it. Once I was done with my cologne I started using it again to smell good. I realized Its strong at first but It changes in aromas. I tend to smell my wrists later on to get a smell of it. Great Cologne. Lasts all day.

Plus no breakfast for the troops!
His recommendations...are worth a bucket of warm spit. He spent more taxpayer money flying back to CA every weekend..yes every weekend that he has been Sec. of Defense. Millions. He is making that recommendation to people who also waste millions, billions and now trillions of tax payer dollars on their pork projects, their automatic pay raises, their perks of the job. Next go around, if the US survives this go around...time to clean House and Senate, scrub the Executive Branch down to bare walls and clean out the support staff of the Judicial Branch. Then go back and retro actively take away all perks voted in by the past 8 years of corrupt porky pigs in the house and senate and all executive orders doing the same.
How about Panetta reimburse for his weekly expense of flights back and forth to CA so that the military salaries can be increased 1% over........instead of being reduced.
Dear Leader and Lady O love to talk about loving the troops. But actually doing anything objectively good for them, not so much. This administration has done more to fundamentally change the military, for the worse.
but Biden deserves a 6400 raise???
Since Panetta is a fat hog, fattened up by the wealth he has acheived by sucking the government teat, he likely figures those soldiers are freeloaders.
They are trying to make the sequester as painful as possible so the GOP will cave

History of the Program
Maryland's Marine Mammal & Sea Turtle Stranding Program was formed in 1990 following the stranding of a bottlenose dolphin in the northern reaches of the Tuckahoe River. Stranding staff respond to marine mammals and sea turtles in Maryland waters including both the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. MDNR partners with The National Aquarium- Marine Animal Rescue Program (MARP) to coordinate stranding response. MARP responds to all marine mammals and sea turtles that strand alive, while MDNR responds to the dead strandings. The data collected through strandings in Maryland is submitted to the state and federal governments and is incorporated into laws which conserve and protect these species. MDNR Stranding Program operates out of the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory in Oxford, Maryland. The Marine Mammal & Sea Turtle Stranding Program is part of the Fish & Wildlife Health Program which monitors and investigates fish and wildlife mortality throughout Maryland.
CALL 1-800-628-9944 TO REPORT STRANDED MARINE MAMMALS & SEA TURTLES (alive or dead). CALL IS FREE FROM ANY MARYLAND PHONE NUMBER AND AVAILABLE 27 HRS-7 DAYS.
Species of marine mammals that have stranded in Maryland since 1900:
|Toothed Whales (Odontocetes)
|Baleen Whales (Mysticetes)
|Atlantic white-sided dolphin
|Fin Whale
|Bottlenose dolphin
|Humpback whale
|Common dolphin
|Minke whale
|Dwarf sperm whale
|North Atlantic right whale
|Gervais' beaked whale
|Long-finned pilot whale
|Seals (Pinniped)
|Pigmy sperm whale
|Harbor seal
|Risso's dolphin
|Harp seal
|Short-finned pilot whale
|Hooded seal
|Sperm whale
|Gray seal
|Striped Dolphin
The most commonly stranded toothed whale, or odontocete, in Maryland is the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). The most commonly stranded baleen whale, or mysticete, is the humpback whale. The most commonly stranded seal, or pinniped, is the harp seal. Marine mammals strand for a variety of reasons including old age, disease, major trauma (vessel strike), predation, entanglement in fishing gear, and parasitism. On average, 15 marine mammals strand each year. Most strandings occur on the Atlantic Ocean coast.
Marine mammals tend to strand seasonally based on the species and its range. For example, the harbor porpoise tends to strand in the late winter or early spring, while the bottlenose dolphin tends to strand in late spring, summer, and early fall. Seals tend to be in Maryland during the winter.
Marine Mammals are protected by law under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) which prohibits the "taking" of marine mammals in all US waters. A "take" is defined as "to harass, hunt, capture, kill, or feed any marine mammal". Marine mammals are still protected under these laws even after their death. Collecting dead marine mammal remains is also considered a "take". Violations of the MMPA can result in hefty fines, imprisonment, or the seizure of vessels and personal property.
Here are some things you can do to help marine mammals:
- KEEP your distance from dolphins and other marine mammals. Put your engine in neutral while the animal(s) pass. Never follow or chase a dolphin, whale, or other marine mammal.
- NEVER cast your fishing line where you have seen dolphins and marine mammals surfacing to breathe. Dolphins are naturally curious and may stay near you-especially if you are near fish-their favorite food.
- NEVER feed dolphins or other marine mammals, this is just as dangerous for the person as the dolphin.
- KEEP all of your garbage picked up! Garbage in the water is confused as food and can be fatal if eaten by dolphins, whales, and other marine mammals.
- KEEP your distance from seals! Seals can be aggressive, especially toward pets (ie- your dog on its leash). Seal bites can be both painful and unsafe, since they can transmit diseases to humans and our domestic pets.
Species of sea turtles that have stranded in Maryland since 1991:
- Green sea turtle
- Kemp's ridley sea turtle
- Leatherback sea turtle
- Loggerhead sea turtle
The most commonly stranded sea turtle in Maryland is the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). The largest sea turtle in the world is the leather back, which can weigh up to 1 ton (2,200 pounds). On average Maryland has 25 dead sea turtles strandings each year. Most strandings occur along the Atlantic Coast, however, sea turtles have stranded as far north as the Magothy River in the Chesapeake Bay.
Each year, when water temperatures warm, sea turtles visit the Chesapeake Bay and water's off Maryland's coast. Sea turtles eat a variety of prey found within our waters including jellyfish, horseshoe crabs, crabs, and whelks. Individuals often return to the same feeding grounds each year and in between nesting periods.
Sea turtles strand due to a variety of natural and human causes. Natural causes of stranding or death can be due to old age, disease, predation, and cold stunning (hypothermia). Human induced strandings can be caused by hunting, boat strikes, fishing gear entanglement, and habitat degradation.
Sea turtles are protected under the Endangered Species Act (1973) and Maryland Non-Game & Endangered Species Conservation Act (1975). Sea turtles are still protected under these laws even after their death. Collecting dead sea turtles remains is also considered a violation. Violations of these laws can result in hefty fines, imprisonment, or the seizure of vessels and personal property.
What you can do to help sea turtles:
- NEVER cast your fishing line where you have seen sea turtles surfacing to breathe. Sea turtles may be attracted by your bait and can get hooked on your line which would damage your rod, and hurt the turtle.
- ALWAYS clean up your trash! Sea turtles can confuse garbage, especially plastic, floating in water for food. If sea turtles eat garbage they can die.
- RECYCLE your monofilament line! Even small pieces can entangle a sea turtle or be confused for food.
- REDUCE your speed in areas where sea turtles are seen. Sea turtles are susceptible to boat strikes which are fatal in most cases.
To report a live, entangled, or dead sea turtle please call: 1-800-628-9944 (24/7, toll free in Maryland). Entangled turtles, turtles with deep cuts or embedded hooks need veterinary care. Call Stranding Responders immediately at 410-373-0083 or 443-758-6607 or US Coast Guard on CH-16 on your VHF radio.

LBWO this morning kicked my DONKEY! I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to walk out of the gym to the car on my own because my legs went numb..... My legs have regained sensation now, so now all I have to do is wait for the DOMS to set in.
I sucked on my diet this weekend so I'm not planning on any cheats for at least a couple of weeks. There was a couple of birthday parties and I had a friend in town that I haven't seen in about two years so almost everything I ate wasn't on plan.
bye2babyfat- What country are you in?
EShorty- I burned those 570 calories on the stair climber. I think it's the best thing in the gym for cardio. I always seem to be more sweaty and the screen shows more calories burned than any other equipment that I use. I alternate between the stair climber and the eliptical for my cardio workouts. The treadmill always hurts my knees so I avoid it.
Gina- Are you finished with C1 now?
David- Did you get called away to work, or did you get to stay home?
JR- Did you win the 500 million dollar Powerball jackpot and retire to the beach? Someone down there in Florida did!
Workout planned: LBWO completed at 5:30am
Foods planned: Back to the same ol same ol.......
Obstacles you have to overcome today: N/A

Positive statement about yourself: I'm going to kill it this week!
Good morning everyone... Didn't hit the lottery, but my weekend came in a close second. This is what weekends living at the beach should be like:
Thursday night (YES, weekends should begin on Thursday night): ballgame
Friday: golf & seafood
Saturday: 5k, beach time, family dinner
Sunday: Boat time
Monday: Aloe
Haven't lifted since Thursday LBWO. I didn't run on Saturday. I had family in town, and I figured the rest would do me some good.
This morning's UBWO (pull muscles) proved that the rest did me some good. Great workout!
It's taken me about 2 hours to post this stuff. I've read everyone's posts and I know I have replies, but I keep forgetting what I need to respond to!
Great job ladies! You're at the finish line. Be proud!!!! GINA- your Friday sounds awesome.
Goooood morning CCers! Checking in quick before I dive into my pile 'o work. I just canNOT get over how fast these days are flying by……whoooooo eeee. Yesterday was quiet CCers….lets get back on here and keep the awesome factor off 'da charts peeps!!
JG, nice to hear you're getting your don-kee whooped! How are the legs feeling today? Oooooh, I wish I had a stair stepping machine in my gym, but no such luck. All the more reason why I need to, per David's suggestion, do stairs at the football stadium close to my house - if I can burn more calories in less time, I'm sold! And ah, heck yeah you are going to kill it this week - love the fired up attitude!!!
Jr, had you won the powerball, my only request would be to fly us all to FL for a week so we can do our check-ins at the beach every morning. Is that too much to ask?? Ummm, and I'd say it sounds like you had a pretty fantastic weekend! I have YET to get out golfing……(as I curse)….. this weekend, it's on!
Workout planned: Running w/ inclines @ 5
Foods planned: 1. Cottage cheese + pear + coffee 2. cottage cheese + melon 3. WW bagel thin w/ PB 4. string cheese + melon 5. Santa Fe wrap 6. protein pudding
Obstacles you have to overcome today: Nada
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: I bought the BFL Champions book - being a person who is, for the most part, clueless when it comes to other weight lifting exercises, I love how this book gives you more picture options - and it gives a nice refresher on the program. Definitely makes me excited for my C2!
Positive statement about yourself: This last week, I'm going to give it all I have because I CAN…doing it for those who physically can't!
Whoa. Hey Friends! I totally ditched you all yesterday. RUDE! I'm officially off challenge--I'm hoping to take my pictures tomorrow, this weekend was kinda crazy schedule-wise so it didn't happen. Hopefully I didn't gain 5 lbs in the meantime.....
I had a mean cardio tennis sesh on Saturday, J worked me! I have a blister on my "back"hand to prove it! Hoping to make it a weekly (would prefer 3x/wk!) lesson with him. Tennis makes you skinny, yo!
Instead of having a beer last night I decided to workout. On my off week! that's HUGE for me! I did some more toning-type weights, I think....Are they compounds? Like you're working more than just one muscle group. It was mostly upper though. It was almost fun! So nice to change it up!
I feel like I owe a bunch of replies.....please forgive me, cause I'm not sure any more. :-)
Shorty, I'm feeling so much better now! I was just in a funk last week (at the worst time possible, hello week 12!). Feeling super happy today! I'm officially on Vacation until next Wed as of 5pm. HOLLA! Oh, and PS, your goods are shipping tomorrow :-) Also, you are a HUGE DEAL! Congrats on your design win!!!!! I can't believe I know you. #statussymbol #designthis
Workout: Some type of cardio......probably a run/walk with baby G, strolly style!
Foods planned: M1: Oatmeal S1: Shake/Yogurt M2: chicken sausage/rice/LF feta S2: SC/yogurt M3: Ummmm, I have out ground turkey......S3: Shake
Obstacles you have to overcome today: Please. Today is freaking FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tips/Help/Randomness--you choose! My co-worker just told me she's having a Gina Overload. Ha! Get a life, I'm just sooooooo happy/excited/about to lose my "stuff" over vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Positive statement about yourself: Girl, you're awesome. You chose working out over a delicious, refreshing beer. And, you never let the negative nancys around you get you down. Get it gurrrrrrlllllllll!
I had a great HIIT session this morning. I turned it up another notch and burned 601 calories on the stair climber. I felt like I hit a 10 at the end of my 20 minutes, but after my 10 minute cool down I was pumped and felt like I still had some gas in the tank. I think I'll increase the speed by 2 levels on my next session.
EShorty- I fully expected to not be able to move when I woke up this morning from yesterday's workout, but my legs actually felt pretty good. Only a little sore. Not at all what I was expecting.
Workout planned: HIIT on the stair climber. Slayed it @ 6:00am.
Foods planned: Same ol stuff.....
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: I'm considering making my shakes with water instead of skim milk to save a few calories. I've done it before and it doesn't taste as good, but I'm willing to try it again to see if it will help further fat loss.
Positive statement about yourself: I'm a machine!
GOOOOD MORNING FELLOW CCers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope all of you are doing well. Sad time at the Fountain household. Ben is officially gone for the summer. He was getting his passport this morning and has now left. Since he is interning with youth ministry, he will not be home on any weekends. Char and I haz a sad. Ben is obviously pumped about it and of course, we are really excited for him - but with a sad. I did get to spend some quality time with him the past few weeks and he still plans to keep working out. We did see Star Trek on Sat night - (3D- meh). Movie was pretty good overall, 3D just doesn't do it for me. If any of you have actually seen the older Trek movies, there's a little homage paid to Wrath of Kahn. My son, Ryan and DIL, Dana also went. Dana just wanted to see Chris Pine.
Shorty - see you and Mcnair are discussing legs...grrrrr! Had a good LBWO this morning. This old man was squating the heaviest weight he's done since probably the Reagan administration. That was after the legs had been nice and sore from a truly killer 60 min spin glass last night. Legs are a little wobbly this morning. My partner - 15 years my junior - was cussin me. Ha! Here's to old farts!
Gina - yeah, how rude for you ditching us yesterday....as if I can say anything. Congrats on finishing! You can incorporate compound movements in any manner of lifting. As long as the lift involves more than one joint or muscle group, it is a compound movement. Looking forward to seeing your final pics. I bet they will be good! As I stated in an earlier post, which I'm sure you did not see, you are incapable of taking a bad photo.
Sue - you back back the other side of the pond? Congrats as well on finishing!
Justin - 601 cal in 30min, dang! My cardio has been a little different this time around. Intense, but may need to incorporate some 600 cal HIITs in there.
This is the look I get from Char every time I try to discuss the finer benefits of resistance training. OK, really just an excuse to post pic of Marisa Tomei.
Today's my 31st birthday, so this morning I was motivated to prove I could still workout like an 18yr old. Made for a pretty good workout, and a shaky morning.
All that energy and excited burst when I thought, maybe I'll look at buying a new truck. HOLY COW-- I think I'll just buy another house!
Also, it's my birthday and my boss is out of town... probably not getting much done today!
Justin- What powder are you mixing in your shakes? I find that some a good with water... others not so much. EAS Recovery is pretty good with protein, but you're getting like 17g of sugar in that! You need high-glycemic carbs post-workout, so it's not that bad, just make sure you account for all the calories.
David- right there with you! 3D movies are useless to me. The effects actually take away from the movie. I'm hoping the fad dies soon. Sorry for the pain of your baby leaving... I can't imagine what's its like but I witnessed it with my parents and then my in-laws... it's obviously painful.
Gina- What is up with your co-worker? I think we'd all benefit from a little Gina overload! Enjoy your vacation.
E- get your golf on. The weather is getting gorgeous... time to play!
I'm out. Holla!
Happy 31st Birthday JR! Officially into your 30s. Understand the motivation to go hard like an 18 year old I remember my 30th, I got up and ran 15 miles....what a dumbdonkey I was. Hadn't prepped for it in the least. Had a few shaky days after that.
JR- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Right now I'm using the last of a tub of Body Fortrace protein. I ran out of my EAS 100% Whey a while ago and didn't have time to make the 100 mile round trip to get more. I'm almost out of it and will be returning to the EAS product as soon as I can. The shakes I've been using the whole time have almost no carbs. I eat a banana with my post workout shake to get my carbs.
Jr, happy belated birthday!!! Hope you had a fantastic day…getting a great workout in, boss being out of town, and all the good stuff that comes along with celebrating another year :) So I gather you didn't buy yourself a birthday truck then?? Tsk tsk. And you said you have a vacation coming up - where are you off to?
G, there you are - loving the fab-attitude!! And ah yeah, two things: CONGRATS on being dunzo with C1!!! Woop woop!! And happy vacation to you!!! Is this the one where you're going off to Mexico? Or is that one coming up? Either way, live it up sistah! Oooooooh and thanks so much for shipping my goods - I'm pumped to see them. Was even braggin' to my sis this past weekend about how awesome your stuff is - oh yeah!! As for my win in the design contest, it's hard being so awesome. And I am so kidding - haha… it was a fun contest so it made it easy! Ok, and um are ya flippin' kidding me with someone saying they have Gina Overload??? Obvi that person is just jealous of your pure awesomeness! Duh ;)
JG, DAY-YUM, 601 CALORIES?!?! To say you are a machine is an understatement - holy schnikes! Keep it up - you are truly killing it!!! As for the shakes, I'm not much help - but to save on calories, I've switched to almond milk. Jr, what's your take on almond milk??
David, how awesome that you had some good quality time with Ben before he left! He'll be back before you know it :) You should be a proud dad - it sounds like you and your wife raised him right as he is one who wants to help others. And NICE WORK on the kicking donkey in all areas of BFL - 60 min spin class??? Squatting like a hulk??? Money! And let's get one thing straight: you're not old. Old is when you hit 90. Or maybe triple digits… Either way, you're still a young buck my friend!
Okay, time to get crackin' - for some reason I keep thinking it's Friday…wishful thinking for the long weekend ahead!
Workout planned: UB - doing this tomorrow, after my running. I'm going to a concert tonight so I don't have time….bad Shorty, bad!
Foods planned: 1. Cottage cheese + melon + coffee 2. cottage cheese + melon 3. WW bagel thin w/ PB 4. string cheese + melon 5. a healthy app pre-concert 6. EAS shake
Obstacles you have to overcome today: Finding a healthy menu option for my 5th meal
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: I gots 'a nuthin' at the moment (probably because I'm rushing this as my boss is lurking outside of my cube)
Positive statement about yourself: This working out/eating right thing ain't so bad…….. :)
Good morning errrrrrrbody! Had an awesome UBWO this morning. I got that good ol light headed feeling from lifting super heavy again!
When I left the gym I was feeling super pumped!
EShorty- Thanks! I'm going to try to get in the 700 calorie range in 30 minutes. I've never tried almond milk. How does it taste compared to cow milk?
Gina- Are you going to post some after photos?
Workout planned: UBWO Completed
Foods planned: Same ol thang......
Positive statement about yourself: I'm gonna get riiiiiiipped!
Morning guys!
Quick post. Lotta work going on. Had a good back routine this morning. Pullups are a bear so I do them first. Goal is to get back over 10. Did 3 sets of 8,8, and 6 with good form. Think I'll get there if I have less weight to pullup. Will do spin class this afternoon. (only a 45 minute class)
Shorty - thank you for the compliment, We are blessed to have good boys with good hearts. We did our best and certainly made our share of mistakes parenting, but despite that, they are doing well and we are proud. Wish it was Friday too! What concert are you going to?
Justin - benching train axles now, eh? Pretty beastly. To answer your question from other post, I did 245 the last set and repped 4 times and followed up with incline dumbbells. Used 90's for the first time there. Big issue will be keeping my shoulders from injury the heavier I go. Trying to be careful with form, definitely stretching before hand and leaving my ego...to an extent, at the door.
JR - hope you had a great birthday and got to do what you wanted.
Gina - wherever you are, it's not at work and that's always good. Used to say my worst day on the golf course was better than my best day at work.
Sue - hope you check in soon. Miss hearing from you!
Never tasted almond milk, but it sounds great. It's just almonds and water, so it's definitely healthy!
Birthday was pretty good, uneventful, except the $450 bill to repair the A/C in my truck (hence the truck shopping/wishful thinking).
Vacation is a couple weeks away June 3-12th... it'll be a 4 city tour of Niagara Falls, Toronto, NYC and Brunswick, ME. NYC is for work sandwiched between free time in Niagara Falls and family time in Maine. Should be a great trip... looking forward to it!
LBWO scheduled for this afternoon... I didn't get up this morning because the Braves went into extra innings!! But they got me a win for my birthday!
I'm sure my food log is boring you guys, but I'm getting 3460 calories today 364 carbs/ 279 protein/ 99 fat
Hey You GUYS!!!
Had a great time in London and glad to be home. I don't think I have EVER drank that much champagne and eating that much curry but I loved every minute of it. There was no exercising the past 7 days but we did tons of walking around and touring. Quick pic of me in London Tower looking back on Tower Bridge:
Sounds like you are all doing great, I should be working as it is my 1st day back from vacation but everyone knows how THAT goes!
David, how is Char? I hope she is feeling better and the new diet works. Also, what is storm duty? Sounds like a lot of heavy work. Thinking of you in TX and I hope the storms and other bad weather never touches down! I am also sure having your son go off to ministry makes you so nervous and excited for him. I can't imagine Jack my 10 year old doing that in 8-10 years. Time does fly by and it is hard to stop and appreciate it. Sounds like you have an amazing relationship with your family which you should be most proud of!
Gina! You did it!!! C1 (check!) And vacation to celebrate! Where are you at, Mexico? Enjoy those cute dresses and rock that bikini girl. You earned every bit of those turning heads. Enjoy, relax, celebrate and have fun.
I haven't yet had that feeling of completing C1 since I left for England right at the end of week 11. I think that might be good for me so I have the nagging bit in my brain to keep going at this. I did get to the gym today which felt great but not 100% back into the swing of BFL. Promise I will get there by next week.
Shorty, I want to run boots and boas!! You rock girl! And I know you are going to take this week 12 by the horns and throw it to the ground. Can't wait to see everyone's progress pics. Are you going to run in boot and boas? Like really run in boots??
JR - Your posts about your weekly activities make me happy for you, living the life on the beach. Happy birthday! 31, successful and fun loving - I love that you might just buy a HOUSE for your birthday. Ha! I spent the day yesterday with my Dad cause it was his 75th birthday. Took him golfing and to lunch. It was the best 'day after vacation' I have had.
JGlim - I am impress with your cardio workouts! My knees suck too so I use the elliptical and stair master. I totally agree the stair master is way better. Don't beat yourself up over the cheats on the weekend. You can only do the best you can with what is in front of you. What week are you in? Are you taking progress pics? As for shakes, I drink the GNC Total Lean shakes and I find they really tasty. I mix one jug with a huge glass of ice coffee and it totally fills me up with only 170 calories, 6 fat, 6 carbs and 25 protein.
B2B - Hi!! Love to 'see' newbies on this forum. This forum is the best for humor (curiosity of David, Gina and Shorty) and expert exercise and nutrition knowledge (curiosity of JR). You get it all with humor and inspiration! How are you doing with planning your meals? How old are your kids? I have 10 and 8 but I remember 'those' days of not having a moment to myself. Hang in there!!
Workout planned: HIIT on the eliptical @ 6:00am.
New Foods planned: None
Obstacles you have to overcome today: No Mo-to-va-tion
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: Just happy to have this group to catch up with. :-)
Positive statement about yourself: I am very happy to be home!!

Just so you know, I'm going to be away from 10/4 ~ 10/6 on a school trip
Just so you know, I'm going to be away from 10/4 ~ 10/6 on a school trip
~The Artist Formerly Known As PichuBoy~
The inhabitants of Republic Town, last faction of resistance for the Flying, Ground and Water types, reunited in the central park, knowing that there were representatives of the Fire-type Nation among them. To find and kill these traitors was their mission; for the fire-types, it was to slowly but surely weaken the town by making them think that they were one of them and turning them against one another. If they could defeat them, they would be greeted as heroes back home. If they failed, being captured and sent to a Pokémon casino to be used as prizes would be their fate.
It is now Day 1. With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.
@Neon Borealis;
This phase should end on October 6th at 20:00, Eastern Time.
Average town to mafia ratio is 3:1 so currently there's a 3/9 chance of hitting mafia with a vote so...
VOTE: G-Mama
Apologies if this is superfluous; I saw no posts here within the last 4 hours:
No one claims unless you are a power role and about to be lynched. Even then be aware of the possibility of mafia claiming a power role that is not present in this game. Otherwise: don't claim. Claiming only limits the options for the mafia. Don't even claim blue -- that makes it easier for the mafia to find the power role (for there must be at least one) that exists.
We have three days to hash out a lynch. If you're worried about getting lynched Day 1, get over it. Town will lose automatically if you do nothing. It takes 5 votes to lynch today. Turns out that voting people randomly has never worked as a strategy to drive discussion.
And aren't there only 2 mafiosi out of 9 players?
Vote: G-Mama
Look, I voted for the same person the last person voted for. My own self-scumtell.
As a courtesy, I won't be available this Friday and most of Saturday -- the 5th and 6th. Should be back Saturday night. I'm visiting University of Michigan.
mmm... yeah, random voting is not an option here.
Vote: G-mama
I'm currently piling up with the votes behind me. But I will change it depending on what happens.
Winner of: Professor Layton Mafia, Warrior Cats Mafia, Kid Icarus Mafia, Star Wars Mafia,Legendary pokémon mafia, Make a Mafia, Smash Bros Mafia, Phoenix wright: Justice for all mafia and Eeveelution mafia
Other games won: Vigilantes, Trauma Center: Virus attack
Unvote: G-Mama
Vote: Neon Borealis
Because I don't trust you guys to not put 2 more votes on a random vote while I'm afk.
EDIT: Unvote: Neon Borealis
Because I don't trust you guys to not decide that what Neon B did was scummy enough to deserve an insta-lynch either.
Last edited by Phoenicks; 3rd October 2012 at 11:19 PM.
Seems to me that only 2 people wouldn't make a very effective mafia...and didn't Zenax list 3 mafia roles in the OP when he said what roles would be in the game? But I agree - random voting will do none of us any good.
That's why I'll Vote: Midorikawa. I'm not much of a gambler, and as such I don't like to play the odds, and unless I'm completely mistaken, that's exactly what's going on.
Other observation: considering Nick's established position on activity, him being away for a couple days says to me that he's more than likely innocent. With only a 2 or 3 person mafia, none of them can really afford to miss even one or two phases.
I'm also going to announce that I won't be around all of Saturday and Sunday and probably most of Monday - I will be preparing for/participating in/cleaning up after a wedding. I swear that I was going to be announcing this tonight anyway and had no idea that Nick was going to make a similar declaration of absence, nor did I plan on using that to prove my own innocence.

"He had it comin'! He had it comin'! He only had himself to blame! If you'd've been there, if you'd've seen it, I bet you you would have done the same!"
So you'll be back just in time for the night phase, eh? INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by Phoenicks
Or possibly not, still worth noting though.
I have no idea what you mean by this. Clarify? Sorry if this is a joke that I'm just not getting... D:Originally Posted by Feliciano
Right, so when I read the first part of this quote, my thoughts were this: What the hell kind of logic is that? He is going to be back just in time for the Night phase and he has voted and has done some serious work to try and make sure people don't do stupid lynches, he's also limited the amount of time in which he can scum tell. I really really really don't see why this would make him likely innocent and in fact my thoughts were that if one of you were lynched and flipped scum, then the first person I'd be going for would be the other.Originally Posted by Feliciano
Second part of this quote: Oh, so she's just saying this so that her own absence works as a good cover for her? Right, I see. Explaining why an absence makes you innocent (which is ridiculous) and then immediately announcing your own absence sounds like you're trying to establish your own innocence even if you say you're not. For those of you who think the fact that Feli is away over the entire Night phase makes her innocent, think again. If she is the Mafia Goon, her scum buddy could post both the kill and the investigation without her having to be there. All she'd have to do is be there to arrange who they are going to kill and investigate (which she'll have plenty of time to do before Saturday).
SO, my top FOSs so far (in no particular order) are Feliciano and Neon Borealis. Neither really strong enough for me to feel the need to throw on a vote at this early stage (though I am tempted to see who would BW) but these are my thoughts.
More on this as it develops. Gama out.
I just did a random vote to get some discussion going and it looks like it worked. I agree with G-mama FoS. Phoenicks and Neon Borealis said random voting was a no go here yet they jumped on creating a bandwagon of my vote. Voting puts pressure so it's always a good way for info
UNVOTE: G-Mama
VOTE: Neon Borealis
Phoenicks won't be here to defend himself so it could cause problems if he's a town power role
@Neon Borealis;
Good god, are you guys actually INSANE?!
We have 3 days to flesh out the vote. This isn't a normal game where the phase is guaranteed to last 3 days - as soon as a majority is reached (in this case 5 votes), the phase will end. It's reckless to vote this early without good reason.
Anyway, as far as Phoenicks and Feliciano go, I don't care if they're inactive. If they can't defend themselves, touch luck. Tbh, I'm pretty peeved they've done this to begin with, since with a game like this, we NEED activity and they're only hurting us by depriving us of information.
Something I noticed:
Also, stop with mentioning people to "defend" themselves. It's their fault if they're not checking the thread every time they log on, and if they're not online in the first place, mentioning them isn't going to make it any quicker.
~The Artist Formerly Known As PichuBoy~
@KidBeano; I mention because I find it scummy not to. If I'm at school and am just popping on during a break to make sure I'm not going to get lynched I'm looking for mentions of me being voted with the possibility of being being the lynch then I know I need to defend myself as soon as possible. Not everyone has all the time in the world. Seems like a mafia thing to do so they can get a townie lynched without them having a chance to save themselves.

AMA Conference Report
The American Medical Association's National Task Force on CME Provider/Industry Collaboration conference, held October 17 to 18 in Baltimore, set the stage for a new era in continuing medical education, as heralded by the new accreditation criteria released by the Chicago-based Accreditation Council for CME in September. Perhaps the most eagerly awaited speaker was ACCME's chief executive, Murray Kopelow, MD, who took to the podium to provide an update on the implementation of the Standards for Commercial Support and to address the new criteria.
He started off by saying that CME is about helping doctors give the best care all the time, all over the world. "We are a strategic asset to physicians on their journey," he said.
He then walked through all the toolkits, phone support, and workshops ACCME has provided to help CME providers come to grips with the new Standards. "It's been two years since we introduced the new Standards for Commercial Support, and nothing bad has happened at reaccreditation. We've seen no surprising patterns, nothing we haven't seen before." He also stressed that the Standards are key to ensuring the validity of CME, and that providers now have the tools and mechanisms to resolve conflicts of interest. "As CME becomes safer for pharma, it will continue to place its money in CME," he added. Perhaps as a hint on what the implementation process will be like for the new criteria for accreditation, he said, "Remember the lessons of the past as we move forward."
While the new accreditation criteria have not provoked the firestorm that the new Standards did, CME providers have voiced some objections. Among them are that the changes seemed to come out of the blue for many, and that the CME community was not allowed to comment before the criteria were issued in final form. Kopelow explained that the development process included the creation of the Competency and Continuum Task Force, whose work was summarized and published on the ACCME's Web site in 2003 and has been available for three years for CME community comment.
Kopelow explained that the goal of the new criteria is to make CME a valuable tool in support of physicians' maintenance of certification and maintenance of licensure requirements. "CME has always been one of the mechanisms [for verifying physician competence], but it can only stay so as long as it demonstrably improves patient care," Kopelow said. "We expect there will be a curve. We expect complete compliance to be a multiyear process," he reassured the audience.
Some requirements will be easier to meet than others, he acknowledged, pointing out that providers who are in compliance with the new Standards are already meeting the criteria related to commercial support. "By 2012, we expect you will have the system in place to make the changes" needed for compliance, he said.
"We are willing to have you set the pace because how fast you move depends on the resources you have." It's all about closing the gap in [healthcare] quality and the gap in the systems, he said. "Mind the gap."
Among the questions the audience had for Kopelow was if he expected any providers to be able to reach Level 3 accreditation, accreditation with commendation, when the first round of surveys under the new criteria begins in November 2008. To achieve a Level 3 accreditation, an organization must be able to integrate CME into practice improvement, use non-educational strategies, identify factors that affect patient outcomes, address barriers to physician change, and participate in quality improvement. Kopelow said, "We think some providers already meet these requirements. There are CME providers who already are linked into their larger environment. I think the only barrier to achieving Level 3 is the strategic decision to do it."
When asked what areas providers need to concentrate on, Kopelow said one focus should be outcomes measurement. The next goal, which he called "almost a political, organizational one," is to get a seat at the quality improvement table. "If you're not invited to a meeting, hold a meeting of your own" and invite the quality improvement people to join you.
For more coverage of the new criteria, see "Aiming High," page 22.
Regulators Speak Out
The conference's other keynote and general session speakers addressed the broader healthcare system and regulatory environment. Capt. David Rutstein, MD, chief medical officer, Office of Public Health and Science, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, kicked off the meeting by explaining how physicians must commit to patients, science, and integrity, and have an underlying commitment to serving humanity. "These same principles are important to CME," he said. "It's not just about passing exams: CME shapes the future of medicine." He also introduced what he called "the mantra of the Office of Surgeon General: Content must be based on the best science and evidence. It must underpin every CME course as well. Otherwise, what's being delivered isn't CME." He added that straying from this mantra results in a gradual decline in the quality of medical education, and eventually a decline in patient health. "A commitment to formal CME is a commitment to quality, and therefore to the health and well-being of the diverse population that lives in this country. On behalf of the Office of the Surgeon General of the United States, I thank you for what you do."
Feds Fight Fraud
Thomas Abrams, director, drug marketing, with the Food and Drug Administration, gave the FDA's perspective on enforcing drug promotion regulations. "[Drug] risk information — and the lack of including risk information in promotion — is of great interest," he said. Inadequate information on risk is the biggest focus of the Office of Medical Policy Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and Communications, he added. It is the subject of the majority of letters DDMAC sends, and it is critical to public health. Abrams said that drug companies put a lot of effort into promoting beneficial claims about drugs; the same effort needs to go into explaining the risks.
He said that DDMAC sent 13 warning letters from July 2005 to June 2006, a 250 percent increase over the average of previous years. "The positive aspect is that the warning letters were effective in stopping illegal promotion. The negative is that we had to take these actions," he said. The most common violations are promotions that inadequately communicate the risks associated with a drug, and include misleading effectiveness claims and misleading comparative claims.
Another panelist, James Sheehan, assistant U.S. attorney based in Philadelphia, explained that the Department of Justice uncovers fraud and false statements made during the FDA approval process: "If [pharma companies] hadn't cheated the FDA to get approval, we wouldn't be paying for these drugs" through payee programs such as Medicaid and Medicare, he said. The other focus is on fraud and false statements related to off-label promotion: "But for false or misleading off-label promotion, docs would not have used these drugs," he added.
The DOJ investigates drug companies for false statements made in clinical trials, failure to report adverse events, and problems with protocol compliance. "My favorite [clinical trial phrase] is 'lost to follow-up,'" he said. "No one ever dies in a clinical trial — they're just 'lost to follow-up.'" As to why the DOJ focuses on financial issues rather than patient safety, he explained that fraud statutes are based on the concept of economic harm, and there is extensive case law on fraud and false claims.
Sheehan predicted that the DOJ's focus in the future will be on inappropriate relationships between drug/device companies, thought leaders, and referral sources for Medicare/Medicaid. He also expects to see more whistleblowers come forward. "One thing the ACCME regulations do is help to build that trust between patients and doctors," he concluded. "Fraud happens when that trust is let down."
View from the Hill
Other speakers outlined Capitol Hill's view of CME. Dan Donovan, senior investigative council, U.S. Senate Committee on Finance, provided an update on the committee's investigation into pharmaceutical grants, including CME funding. The committee had sent letters in 2005 to drug companies asking them to explain their practice of providing educational grants to organizations and state officials that might be in a position to influence Medicare and Medicaid drug-purchasing decisions. Another round of letters was sent in January of this year asking for further information about the role of sales and marketing personnel in awarding grants, and if funding had supported the development or dissemination of treatment guidelines.
Donovan started on a reassuring note: "We're not trying to kill CME," he said. What the Finance Committee has learned to date from the letters is that most companies are following the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America's Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals and the Office of Inspector General's pharmaceutical marketing guidance. "The difficult part is teasing out what happens in reality as opposed to what's on paper," he said. The 23 pharma companies that received the letters spent $1.47 billion in 2004 on educational grants, a 20 percent increase over 2003, he said. "Substantial financing may compromise independence," he warned.
He added that it is rare for the government to hold hearings based on committee investigation results because of the huge time and expense involved. More often, the Finance Committee deals with request letters, such as the ones they sent out about educational grants. "If we don't get cooperation through letters, we turn to subpoenas and conduct interviews," he said.
Conflicts and Resolutions
During two sessions, the various "communities of practice" (CME professionals from pharmaceutical companies, medical schools, medical education and communication companies, hospitals, and specialty societies) met with their colleagues and hashed out answers to two questions: What conflicts of interest do you face, and how do you handle them? Peter Vlasses, PharmD, executive director, Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, Chicago, took on the unenviable slot following ACCME's Kopelow at the end of the meeting to synthesize the group's thoughts.
He listed the people the groups had said were most likely to have a conflict of interest, and then had participants vote via audience-response system on which are the most difficult to deal with. Pharma employees topped the list, followed by faculty who are also in speakers bureaus, advisory board members/consultants/vendors, inventors/patent holders, clinical trial investigators, and stockholders. The most common ways participants deal with COI are to perform peer review/approval of the content/balance; require evidence-based content/references; inform about and document COI implications/risks; cancel the activity/change speaker/change role when conflict is present; and tell speakers to refrain from making treatment recommendations. When bias is reported, the groups decided, exclude that speaker from future activities.
Another option for COI resolution one participant shared in the specialty society session is to create a legal/compliance staff position and have that person help deal with COI throughout the organization. Everyone seemed to think this was a nifty trick, if you could afford to do it. Several of the specialty society members said they create a database for disclosures for their annual meetings, then ask speakers to update their disclosure forms if necessary if they participate in another activity later in the year.
Another commented that the two biggest challenges are getting honest and complete disclosures, and "watching what happens once they get in that speaker-ready room and start moving slides around." The answer to the latter would be education: "We have to spend time and energy to educate speakers about the liability and legal issues behind disclosure and COI," said one audience member. "It's not that they don't want to comply. They just don't know."
And what about dealing with COI related to CME activity participants who ask questions from the floor? One representative of a specialty society suggested developing a second disclosure-related slide that says that anyone asking a question needs to disclose.
Pharma Content Review
During a special session for members of the North American Association of Medical Education and Communication Companies, the discussion turned to the topic of what to do if a grantor asks to review the content of an activity the company is supporting.
Lawrence Sherman, chief executive officer with the Physicians Academy for Clinical and Management Excellence in New York and moderator of the discussion, asked, "Does any level of [commercial supporter] review co-opt independence?"
Panelist Sondra Moylan, RN, president, American Academy of CME, Skillman, N.J., said, "The ACCME recognizes that commercial supporters can be held accountable, so they may feel compelled to ask for review, and the provider may feel compelled to let them review. However, it's up to the provider to decide to make a change, to control the content." It also makes a difference who is asking to do the review, she added, and why — for example, to check the science, or to approve the content. It also depends on who receives the comments, and who decides what to do with them.
"I send [the comments] back to faculty members and ask them to check their references. I like to involve the faculty chairperson too, and I like to go to an independent review. I don't tell the faculty members that the comment came from the commercial supporter," she said. Participants discussed the idea of disclosing that the content was reviewed by pharma for scientific accuracy.
Someone else in the audience asked if the products of six companies were included in the content, does that mean you should let all six review, or just the commercial supporter? Moylan said to have a policy in place and follow it: "Exceptions will get you in trouble."

Not only does this product help with my dogs joint their coats are beautiful. It was recommended by an ortho vet.
Hyalun? ? a word near and dear to my heart! Almost two years ago, shortly after my now-four-year-old gelding I Make Em Shake went into race training, I saw an advertisement for Hyalun. After reading the available literature, I sent for the product, and my race trainer began using it. Without going into all the details, this horse ran eight races (all trials and finals) his two-year-old year and 11 races last year (again allowance, trials, and finals). To date he has earned 256 racing points (Superior Race Horse in September 2004), TQHA Champion 2-Year-Old Gelding, AQHA Texas High-Point 3-Year-Old Gelding, and AQHA Regional High-Point 3-Year-Old Gelding. He has also earned nearly $315,000 on the track. He has NEVER chipped or shin bucked. My vet has X-rayed him extensively at the end of his two racing years ? 24 pictures in 2003 and 20 in 2004. He just stands and shakes his head and finally says, ?This is how the textbooks say a horse?s joints SHOULD look.? Do I believe in Hyalun? You bet I do, every day that I look at my horse and every time I see the many beautiful awards he has earned.

Welcome to Best Western Airport Inn & Suites
Beaches, adventure, and all that the Bay Area has to offer can be had while staying at this Oakland, California hotel!
Complimentary Hot Breakfast
Oakland Ranked Number Five In New York Times 45 Places To Go In 2012
Last Week, the New York Times released its list of "The 45 Places to Go in 2012." (That's top 45 in the world.) And the first North American location on the list wasn't New York or Chicago or even San Francisco. It was the coolest new kid in the country, Oakland. Oakland came in at number five overall on the Times list, cited for its "new restaurants and bars beckoning amid the grit." Even we have to admit that we were a bit surprised by the honor, but we were nevertheless excited. At first glance, the high ranking seemed a wee bit premature, but considering the much-lauded bar and restaurant scene, the grassroots arts community and new ideas with retail (see Popuphood), we are reminded why our Oakland really is on the international radar. Ever since James Syhabout snagged the city's first Michelin Star for Commis in 2009, bars and restaurants have opened in Oakland with unrelenting energy. Art and nightlife lovers still flock to Art Murmur every month. And, as this last fall reminded us, Oakland still has the capacity to demand the political spotlight. The Times focused on downtown's nightlife scene, mentioning the Fox Theater, Commis, Hawker Fare, Plum and newcomer Haven. But we've got our own list of reasons to believe in Oakland.
Attractions : Enjoy the Sights, Experience the Culture. Discover Oakland's captivating mix of modern and historic. The city has an abundance of intriguing, enlightening, and just plain fun things to see and do for people of all ages and interests.
Airport: Oakland International Airport (IATA: OAK, ICAO: KOAK), also known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, is an airport located 4 miles (6 km) south of downtown Oakland in Alameda County, California. One of three international airports in the San Francisco Bay Area, airlines serving Oakland International provide service to numerous destinations in the United States, as well as Mexico. It has proven a popular alternative to San Francisco International, thanks largely to a heavy Southwest Airlines presence. Complimentary Shuttle from Best Western Oakland Airport Hotel
Dining : While it's often overshadowed by nearby San Francisco, Oakland's restaurant scene offers a delicious array of dining choices. College Avenue hotspots like A Cote and Oliveto continue to draw diners while nearby Piedmont Avenue is enjoying a culinary boom thanks to restaurants like Jojo, Baywolf and the always-packed Dopo. Further afield, Otaez Mexicatessen and Tamarindo Antojeria Mexican offer superb Mexican food. And what ever you don't miss the outstanding Pizzaiolo, a restaurant so good it draws diners from that city across the bay.
Golfing : Metropolitan Golf Links, Metropolitan Course, Sequoyah Country Club, Sequoyah Course, Lake Chabot Golf Course, Lake Chabot Course and many more.
Shopping : Oakland isn't a city of big-box stores or mega-malls. It's a network of communities rich with old-fashioned neighborhood shopping districts, including antique shops, chic boutiques, and ethnic treasure houses. Ethnic shops abound in Chinatown and the Latin-flavored Fruitvale district, while College Avenue, Piedmont and Grand Avenue are lined with chic boutiques.
