Hello! It's a breezy, humid Sunday here; the perfect kind of day to pop up a piece I wrote at the start of the year about one of my favourite West Australian painters, Larry Mitchell. His work is so meticulous and evocative and it perfectly captures the character of a place. I wrote this essay and produced the publication it lives in as part of my work at FORM - in fact this project was the last I worked on before having my baby – I worked on it from home in the latter stages of my pregnancy. The talented Sandra Elms designed the book and it was part of a stunning exhibition at FORM, Larry Mitchell: The Pilbara Project, and fantastic bigger project about Western Australian desert and outback life called The Pilbara Project. I've also included a few layouts from the book as a teaser (available from FORM).
Read the essay: 'Mapping, Unwrapping' by Elisha Buttler.
For more information on FORM and The Pilbara Project have a look HERE.

Disastrous patch cripples CommBank
news The Commonwealth Bank of Australia is currently reeling with internal chaos and some service delivery problems, following what appears to be a disastrous misapplication of an operating system patch to thousands of desktop PCs and hundreds of servers last week.
According to sources, on Thursday last week a patch was issued using Microsoft's System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) remote deployment tool. It appears as if the patch was intended to be distributed to a number of the bank's desktop PCs only, but it was mistakenly applied to a much wider swathe of the bank's desktop and server fleet than was intended.

Crescent Theater
13906 5th St,
Dade City,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Crescent opened in 1926 as a venue for silent films, musicals and vaudeville, but closed before the 1960s. There were plans to convert the theater into a mixed use senior center and civic center, but these fell through and the building was demolished in 2003. A new senior center was constructed on the site.

Looks like the renovation plans fell through.

This is what I found on this theater:
Opened-May 15,1926
Owner-Floyd Theaters
I can't find a numbered address. The location that I found for the Crescent theater is 5th St At Florida Ave.
The Film Daily Yearbook, 1941 gives a seating capacity of 550.
Ken….The seat count of 900 is what I found listed for opening day. Its possible that the seating was reduced or the person that counted the seats didn't attend math class on a regular basis. Does the FDYB list an address?
lostmemory…No addresses given in any of the F.D.Y.B. I have. Seating is still given as 550 in 1943 but it has risen to 600 in the 1950 edition!
Thanks Ken. Lacking a photo of this theater to gauge its size, I would go with the 600 seat count that you found in the FDYB.
Looks like status should be closed/demolished:
Listed in the 1951 Film Daily but not in 1955. The only theater listed for Dade City in 1955 is the Pasco Theater.
Too bad no photos.

Greenpeace Dishonors America's Greatest
hree of America's greatest presidents – no way am I counting Teddy Roosevelt in that group [thanks, Coop!] – were dishonored by Greenpeace today when the group defaced Mt. Rushmore with a banner portraying FDR wannabe Barack Obama. The message is ludicrous: "America Honors Leaders, Not Politicians. Stop Global Warming."
The banner seems to imply that Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln were not leaders. The Greenpeace idiots should be very, very glad we have First Amendment rights in this country. I won't dispute that Obama's a leader; it's just a disagreement with Greenpeace over the way he's leading us. I don't believe "honor" should be ascribed to a person who is leading America towards socialism and economic ruin.
And as for stopping global warming, pshaw. All Obama's policies will do is make everything more expensive; they will do nothing to significantly alter the atmosphere or the globe's climate. His "leadership" on cap and tax is better described as "ruinship."

Did you know, that from the time it left the assembly line to when it was on store shelves on October 26th, we'd already made a number of updates and improvements to Surface RT? How is this possible, some of you may ask? Read on to find out…
When we first started working on Surface, we set out to build a product that would be the ultimate stage for Windows. We put the customer experience at the heart of all that we did and with attention to each and every detail, we brought this idea to life. Whether you're looking for a tablet that provides a great entertainment experience with the ability to get some things done, or you're looking for the power and performance of a laptop in a tablet package, with Surface RT and Surface Pro there are two great choices from which you can choose.
Since we first launched Surface in October 2012, we've been making updates and improvements available via Windows Update to further enhance the customer experience. Even though Surface is first and foremost a hardware product, the customer experience is certainly not static and many great improvements have been made. At launch, there were updates to the inbox apps, Windows RT, and the final release of Office Home & Student 2013 RTfor Surface RT customers. Since then, we've been making updates available on a regular basis and the overall customer experience has improved incrementally. This will continue over time.
We've made updates to the hardware drivers thereby enabling additional functionality such as with the track-pad, reduced the instances where Limited Connectivity is reported for wireless access, improved the audio quality and reliability, tweaked the software responsible for interpreting keystrokes on Touch Cover so you can type more quickly and effortlessly, and we've made it possible to use Type Cover and Touch Cover at a larger variety of angles. One recent announcementbrought an update to Internet Explorer 10 such that Adobe Flash content now runs by default on both Surface RT and Surface Pro.
And yesterday, we announced that there would be an update to the Mail, Calendar, and People apps that come with Surface RT and Surface Pro. These apps are designed to manage communication seamlessly on your Surface across multiple accounts—Outlook.com, Exchange, and others. This update is available starting today and for a detailed overview of new features and improvements, see this blog post on the Windows Experience Blogincluding instructions on how to install this update from the Windows Store.
When we started working on Surface we put the customer experience at the heart of all that we did. That is still true today and as such, over the coming months, you'll continue to see updates and improvements made available to both Surface RT and Surface Pro customers. This includes further updates to the wireless system to reduce the instances where Limited Connectivity is reported as well as an update to the Surface Pen driver to enable pressure functionality in Adobe Photoshop with Surface Pro.
We know many of you are waiting for an update on specific dates for Surface Pro availability. Please rest assured that while we don't have anything specific to share right now, we'll let you know in a follow-up blog post just as soon as we do.
I love everything about my Surface.
The only thing missing for me is an extended battery support for an 10 hour flight to Japan.
Please license someone to provide extended batter support for the Surface Pro.
I have spoken to numerous battery companies. They would all like to support the Surface Pro but Microsoft is blocking them.
Without extended battery life you product has a very limited audience.
Thank you for your consideration!
What about education? Any plans to make the Surface RT available at a discount for schools? I'd like these in my students hands next year, assuming they will work flawlessly with Office 365, but can't justify the cost.
I would like the photos that I add to contacts--I'm sorry, people--in Outlook 2013 to appear in the people app. They appear in the people app on my WP8, but not my people apps on my surface rt or my win8 pro install.
I left a long commentary a few weeks ago and left for a sporting event with my kid.
What I have noticed at most sports venues are parents with their iPads using them to record video of their kid's or team's matches. It is still baffling to me that so much camera and video resolution can be made to fit inside a phone, yet the surface camera and video has very low res capabilities - had to ditch it in favor of my Nikon.
It is another nitch area where I see a lot of pad usage that makes consumers gravitate towards iPads. An offering from MS that produces better video and pictures than the iPad would create more buzz.
I wonder if there are any plans to release higher specked Surface Pros to the market: e.g. 8Gb RAM and/or 256Gb SSD?
The SDD capacity is more critical to me.
I'd be the happiest user of the power Surface Pro...
oops, sorry - overlooked that this is not the right thread to ask about Surface Pro... :(
I'm using Surface RT with the latest updates and I'm loving it.
Those are my suggestions to improve the experience even further:
-Make the speakers louder (increase the dB limit);
-Make a native Facebook App based on the latest Microsoft Facebook Beta app on Windows Phone 8 (it's finally complete and awesome there);
-Update/Upgrade Office RT for Metro UI, and don't launch it from the Desktop anymore;
-Integrate most of the "Desktop" functions in the new Metro UI, from the full Control Panel to Customization (the Desktop must be almost totally excluded from the RT experience);
-Support the .mkv (H.264 / AAC / DTS) format in native Video app;
-Increase printers drivers support (my Canon PIXMA MP210 doesn't work :_( );
-Improve performance, reducing "stuttering" on some apps (like Music), and keep everything fast and fluid;
-Reduce as short as possible the delay when launching and app (no more loading screens);
-Improve 3D games performance;
-Create a valid "Windows Movie Maker" alternative for the RT/MetroUI experience, optimized for Surface RT;
-Improve the native Facebook chat (I often see double messages, or failed notifications/messages);
and most important of all:
-EXPAND the Windows Store. Try to fuse it to the Windows Phone Store, and create an unique, unificated store where an app created for Windows Phone 8 works with Windows 8/RT almost automatically or, at least, with a single 1-Time Purchase.
The Store really need to "explode" with thousands and thousands more app.
Thank you :)
Any chance an update can be sent that will enable the volume (speakers) to be louder?
So now that you have fixed it may we see the surface pro in Australia, intel haswell core hybrids are just around the corner. And unless you release the surface pro now I am just going to wait another month to see what other manufacturers are going to make that will put the surface to shame with same performance and longer battery life (unless Microsoft engineers consider releasing a surface 1.5 that has a haswell core in it).
The point is you don't delay the release of a consumer technology item or you risk it being superceded before it comes out.
Just received the April 15 update to my Surface RT and I'm a little disappointed. In the news app I used to get a feed from a newspaper called The State. It's out of South Carolina. After the update it appears that I've lost that news feed and I can't add it - how come?
Overall my family is very impressed with the Surface RT device. In fact we like the device so much we haven't charged our iPAD in months. Way to go Microsoft keep up the good work!!!
Microsoft customer service is among the worst I've ever encountered:
1. i was really excited when the Pro came out - I ordered in online the 1st day it was available. Of course it was on back order and it took 3 weeks to be delivered.
2. after using it for 3 weeks - the device failed. I contacted customer service and was told the only option was to return it and a new or refurbished device would be sent in 5-6 business days. After 9 business days - the unit arrived.
3. The email I received from Surface support asked asked that I return the pen and power supply with the failed unit - of course I did. When the device was returned - no pen or powersupply arrived with it. I contacted Surface support again - now I've been informed it will be ANOTHER 3-4 business days for these items to arrive. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
Bought one of the first RT units and have used it on and off for a couple months now and have some general feedback. First off, for a first foray into the pad market it is a good device that could be a great device and a game changer in my opinion with a few tweaks.
I have worked in IT support organizations in some capacity for most of my career so I have a pretty solid handle on what customers often look and ask for and I took this opportunity to be the consumer and to be honest as I can be because I actually would like to see MS be successful in this market.
One of the biggest portable drawbacks I have with my device and the reason I often set it down is that it is simply difficult to hold. There is a shortage of real estate along the edges and if you adjust for a more secure hold on the unit you are assailed by a variety of charms or functions that are triggered along the edges of the active screen. The glossy design is attractive to the eye, but means that the tiny grip you have along the edge (because you do not want to lose the page you are on by invoking something along the edge of the screen) will slip.
I think a simple solution to this issue would be to just add a 1/2 inch of plastic with the eraser-finish along the outside edge, or simply sell a flexible frame that can be fitted around the unit that adds the necessary real estate and grip along the edges of the device. We are not talking about some clunky full sleeve, rather something that keeps the simple single-unit form-factor of the device. The only draw-back is how to do so without blocking the kickstand which is awesome.
The other areas of needed improvement are the functionality of the browser. There have been vast improvements in the browser due to a variety of updates, but there are still issues with most common sites loading slowly and displaying "slow script" errors, and the formatting of some sites still get mangled when formated for the Surface screen. The embarrassing thing is that some of those sites where I experience this behavior are MS sites or MS affiliated sites like MSN or MSNBC.
The last area of disappointment is the cramped living space. What I mean is the small amount of available disk space. I know that iPads have a similar issue, but I thought that making a competing product meant doing it better? The real drawback is on the app store front where I have had to unload or not buy more apps because after downloading and installing a few I had no more space. If MS is trying to encourage app development, space limitations on consumable devices is not a good thing.
I nearly bricked the unit by downloading a Disney Tinkerbell movie for my daughter as we were going on the trip and streaming from the cloud is a nice idea in concept, but in reality the bandwidth often is not there when you are on the road or flying. Once I used up most of the space bringing the movie down locally I had a warning that I was running out of space, but I was not given any options to free up space or stop the download. Rather the unit was super unresponsive. Was finally able to jettison enough things to get it working again, but it was slow going and I really thought I was going to have to something to restore the unit to the original configuration.
For a disk space solution I bought a 350 GB SATA mini drive in a nice shiny black case, and with a short USB cable and a generous application of Velcro product I can attach the additional storage to the back of the unit to keep the whole setup somewhat portable and self contained. Something a bit more thought out and engineered for the units to attach additional drive storage would be nice.
I know there is a Surface mouse accessory and a usb port for a keyboard (if someone wanted to use a full-sized keyboard), and there is a mini-hdmi port for video output. I was hoping that the Surface units would have some kind of quick-connect docking capability for those times you want to go full size on the peripherals - that would have been cool.
I have a Surface Pro 128gb. When I go to my bank page, I sign in and the bank system opens another window, I guess because it opens a secure site window. But the new window just opens, but no information appears. Does anybody know what I would need to change to make it work?
When you enter the bank site (or before), hit the F12 key to bring up the developer tools, then make sure the the browser mode is set to IE9. Some websites have issues with IE 10:-)
That flash update was really helpful, though I did have a quick question on this most recent keyboard connectivity one. It might be detailed somewhere I missed, but one quirk I noticed was if my Surface RT was off and I hooked the touch keyboard to it, then turned it on it may or may not have detected it. Same story for if it was off and I un-hooked it, it may or may not have detected that, so that when I touch/clicked into a field, the onscreen keyboard would not come up. I forget what it was, but with a particular combination of things I can consistently recreate the issue, or consistently make it go away.
Dear Microsoft
You could improve customer service by informing your customers when they can buy your products. You could also improve customer service by apologising to all of your potential customers in the Uk, Europe and Australasia for the lack of information in the delays of release dates and prices.
Kind Regards,
A VERY annoyed customer
So now the news leaks of Surface Pro being available in China on 2nd April?? Why are we still waiting in the UK?? China with its history of piracy and low volume sales of Microsoft products is yet another kick in the teeth to your traditionally strong markets. Come on Microsoft, hurry up and release the Surface Pro in the UK, other European countries and also for our Antipodean cousins!!

Alright, this is the bat I have been playing with since the end part of last season. It has a good middle; the edges are good as well. But the toe is weak. Of course you cannot blame the bat when you keep using the toe, which I do not all the time, trust me. But whenever the lower three inches of the bat have been called into action, the ping disappears, vibration rattles your playing hand and you loose confidence in the bat. I wanted to give it 3.5 as this one is better than a 3 but a little less than 4. I use a medium weight bat at 2.10. I have used my friends' SS LE (2.12), SS Matrix (around 2.14) and Laver and Wood (3 lb) and all of them have better toe play. I am right now waiting for the end of the season so that I can get a new bat for the next.

The "90210" kids are growing up!
Actress Tori Spelling -- who played teen Donna Martin on the hit 1990s series -- turns the big 4-0 on May 16. Everyone knows Tori loves a good party -- her lavish kiddie parties have been featured on her reality show "Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood," and she's even penned a how-to book on party planning -- but how will she celebrate her big day?
Since she's such a party girl, here's a look at some of Tori Spelling's top party moments, with a hint on how she and hubby Dean McDermott will celebrate her 40th.
Hattie's "Alice in Wonderland" Party
Last fall, the mom of four threw an "Alice in Wonderland"-themed birthday bash for her daughter Hattie, and the 1-year-old took her first steps during the party! (You can see video here.) According to Us Weekly, the party boasted balloon makers, face painters, and the birthday girl dressed as "Mad Hattie." On her blog, Tori wrote, "As with any party at the McDermott home, we prepped and planned for weeks, making sure every single detail would reflect the party's theme and that each family member (dogs included!) had the perfect costumes."
Liam's "Star Wars" Soiree
In March, the force was with Tori when she threw a "Star Wars" style 6th birthday celebration for her son Liam. The party-planning mom pulled out all the stops for her firstborn, even hiring actors to dress as the movie's iconic characters Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, and filling an R2D2 piñata full of treats. A rep for the family told omg! that Dean McDermott missed the festivities due to a trip to the E.R. when his older son Jack (from his first marriage to Canadian TV host Mary Jo Eustace) "broke his nose in Liam's bouncy house" before the party.
Tea Time for Stella
It was tea for 20 last summer when Tori threw a 4th birthday tea party for her daughter Stella. The birthday girl requested a color scheme of pink and purple with a pop of yellow, and guests noshed on tea sandwiches made by daddy Dean (some were even crown-shaped made with a crown cookie cutter) and tea pots filled with lemonade. Edible glitter pops adorned the dessert table, as did a Hansen's marble cake with butter cream filling.
Stella's First Birthday
Fans of Tori and Dean's Oxygen reality show have to remember daughter Stella' s first birthday party back in 2009. The ladybug-themed bash (Stella's nickname is Buggy) featured a gardening station, a cookie-decorating station, an insect zoo, and kiddie musical group The Jumpitz. According to People, the guest list included Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamlin, Scott Baio, and Larry Birkhead, but one person who was noticeably absent from the festivities was Tori's mom, Candy Spelling. (At the time, the two were estranged.) While the reality star tried to extend an olive branch to her
mom by inviting her to the buggy bash, Candy famously penned an open letter to TMZ, blasting her daughter with: "A big party wasn't how I envisioned meeting my granddaughter for the first time; but, hey, this is Hollywood, and my grandchildren have become reality show props, too …I didn't realize I was being set up for a two-parter, even though it was clear I was being invited to be part of a segment for my daughter's reality show." Ouch! (Luckily, Tori and her mom have patched up their rocky relationship since then.)
So what's the scoop on Tori's own party plan? Last summer, she told Parade magazine, "Wow, when I turn 40 I'm going to have four kids and I've accomplished so much in life. I'm happy and blessed with my kids and my husband and our animals. I'm a party planner at heart so any excuse to throw a party, though I always do it for the kids and never big ones for ourselves. But maybe at 40 I'll throw myself a big one!"
We're sure she will -- and we can't wait to see the pics!

text: Kaptur Bill Tackles Tech Fees Farmer Union praises federal seed saving bill. Compiled by staff. Published on: Jun 28, 2004 U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo, has introduced a bill to allow farmers the right to save and replant patented seed. Kaptur's Seed Availability and Competition Act of 2004 would decriminalize the act of saving patented seed as long as a producer reports the quantity and type of seed retained, and pays a technology fee to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The secretary of agriculture will then compensate the appropriate patent holders. "If farmers are looking for a level playing field regarding agricultural exports, they can thank Rep. Kaptur for this well conceived bill," comments Joe Logan, Ohio Farmers Union president. The group has long championed laws to return to the farmer the write to seed ownership. "This legislation could generate millions of additional dollars for patent holders to be used to support future research, thus keeping the U.S. on the cutting edge of technology." Kaptur's proposed legislation would assess tariffs on imported products from countries that do not levy comparable technology fees. This provision would resolve a competitive disadvantage U.S. farmers have with farmers from countries where technology fees are not applied. "Everybody talks about fair trade, but nobody ever does anything about it - until now," says Logan. "Toledo is a seaport town, so Rep. Kaptur understands how essential trade is to farmers," continued Logan. "Yet she is also aware that current trade rules can put Ohio's farmers at a disadvantage." This legislation was driven by grassroots efforts in several states across the nation. Ohio Farmers Union has championed state bills SB 252 and HB 513 by Ohio state Sen. Marc Dann and Rep. L. George Distel that would address the seed-saving issue at the state level. Eighty one percent of all soybeans planted in the U.S. are genetically modified, so this legislation affects a large number of producers across the country. "Farmers are very appreciative of patented seeds because they simplify their agricultural operations. What they don't appreciate is that access to that seed comes only through a single source," says Logan. "What we are hoping this legislation will do is to break the stranglehold that a single corporation has on the access to seedstock that farmers need so desperately. "For years, our foreign competitors have maintained the false notion that they do not use Round-Up Ready technology," says Logan, "but I have been told by Monsanto management representatives that more than half of the soybeans exported from Brazil and Argentina are raised using this pirated technology."

Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence occurs when an individual establishes and maintains power and control over their intimate partner. There are many forms of abuse including physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse.
Get the Facts and learn more about domestic violence.
Warning Signs that Your Partner May Be Abusive
Often, but not always, warning signs or "red flags" may occur that could indicate that a person is abusive.
Why does she stay?
A common question, that is so often misunderstood, is to ask victims of domestic violence, "why don't you just leave?" First, we need to ask why the abuser isn't stopping his behaviors, as he is the one being abusive. Next, there are many barriers and factors that a victim must contemplate in deciding whether to leave or stay in an abusive relationship.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — SALEM — A Haverhill man charged in a 2010 home invasion at the downtown Cordovan Apartments pleaded guilty yesterday to armed robbery, assault and battery, drug possession and illegal firearm charges in Salem Superior Court.
William Marcano, 34, of 24 Atwood Road, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison on the charges, which include assault with a gun. Police said he hit a man living in the home in the head with a gun.
Prosecutors dropped two home invasion charges against Marcano, But he did plead guilty yesterday to two counts of armed robbery, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, illegal possession of a firearm (a .45-caliber handgun) and possession of marijuana.
He is scheduled to return to court on Jan. 31 for sentencing.
Marcano was one of three people charged in the Nov. 15, 2010, home invasion at the apartment complex on Walnut Street.
Allison Sullivan, 23, of 6 Columbia Park and Jennifer Balch, 25, of 144 Old Ferry Road were also charged in connection with the crime.
Police said Balch drove Marcano and Sullivan to the Cordovan Apartments the night of Nov. 15. Sullivan texted Steven D'Andrea, 25, an acquaintance of hers who lived in the apartment building, and asked if she could visit him, police said.
Sullivan and Marcano then entered the Cordovan building and went upstairs to D'Andrea's apartment, where he let Sullivan enter, police said. D'Andrea testified in Haverhill District Court on Jan. 4 that the next thing he knew, an unknown man "had a gun sticking in my face."
He said the gunman, later identified as Marcano, hit him on the back of his head with a gun, rummaged through his belongings and stole $3,890 in cash and about a half ounce of marijuana that was in a dresser.
D'Andrea said he, a guest at his apartment, Jessie Shepherd, 24, and Sullivan were ordered by Marcano to lie on a bed while he looked for items to steal.
Balch and Sullivan were charged with witness intimidation because of misleading statements they allegedly made to police, according to the district attorney's office.
After his arrest, Marcano was held at Middleton jail on $100,000 cash bail. He previously served 12 years in prison for bank robbery and, even if he were to post the $100,000 bail, he would be held in a federal detention center for violating his parole for the bank robbery, authorities said.
In court yesterday, with defense attorney Steven Van Dyke sitting at his side, Marcano admitted he was guilty of the charges he faced.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Jessica Strasnick.

Navy master chief turns rejection into opportunity
In 2005, then-U.S. Navy Master Chief Evelyn "Vonn" Banks was interviewing for a high-level enlisted position in the service when the conversation took an unexpected turn.
"I was told, 'Your operational performance is head and shoulders above your peers, but you don't have a college degree,'" Banks recalls. "I didn't get the job because I was the only candidate without a formal education beyond high school."
For someone with an exemplary Navy career spanning more than 20 years, the words stung — but they also served as a catalyst. Hours later, Banks, then 50, did an Internet search and found University of Phoenix. Within two weeks, she began studying for her associate degree.
Banks became unstoppable. By Fall 2012, she already was hard at work on her fourth University degree — a doctorate in organizational leadership — to cap off her associate, bachelor's and Master of Management degrees.
Her education, coupled with her experience, is paying off. This month, Banks retired from her role as command master chief for Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) in Washington, D.C. As the senior enlisted person there, Banks says she was "the right arm of the commanding officer," advising him on all issues that can affect a Navy command, including overall mission and readiness.
I didn't get the job because I was the only candidate without a formal education beyond high school.
With such a high-level military role involving considerable responsibility and a heavy travel schedule, online classes allowed Banks to do her job and complete her schoolwork. But she's gained much more than convenience. Taking classes with people all over the world whom she's never met, she says, has helped her become more articulate and hone her writing and critical-thinking skills.
On a personal level, Banks says pursuing an education has helped her understand how she can be a better leader. She says she puts what she learns into her "leadership toolkit" to share with others. "No matter who I'm talking to," she notes, "there's something in that knowledge base to help with whatever issue they bring my way."
In fact, building the toolkit has inspired her to dream big about her post-military plans, and she's created quite the bucket list to check off since retiring from the Navy. She says she hopes to become involved in politics and plans to write a book about her life lessons. After earning her doctorate, she intends to teach.
Banks knows she may never have considered all these opportunities had she not decided to go to school, which is why she wants others to see the value in education.
Those who leave the Navy, she notes, may have difficulty getting a job commensurate with their skills if they don't have a degree. And those within the Navy can find it challenging to get beyond enlisted without one.
Others can learn from her example, whether or not they're in the service. "It's not what happens to you," she says. "It's how you respond to it."

Clark Curator Examines Winslow Homer's Perils of the Sea on January 12 During Free Lunchtime Gallery Talk
For Immediate Release
December 19, 2005
The next Looking at Lunchtime Gallery Talk at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute will be held Thursday, January 12 at 12:30 pm. Michael Cassin, the Clark's curator of education, will discuss Winslow Homer's Perils of the Sea during a half hour gallery talk. The talk and gallery admission are free.
Homer's extended stay on the Northeast coast of Britain produced some of his most powerful images, the watercolor Perils of the Sea among them. This moving image of members of the fishing community of Cullercoates, in Northumberland, was subsequently made into one of Homer's most dramatic etchings. The January 12 gallery talk will look at the similarities and the differences between the two images, and place them in the context of Homer's fascination with the sea and those who depend on it for their livelihood.
The Looking at Lunchtime series is held the second Thursday of every month featuring a curator or special guest highlighting a work of art or collection at the Clark. Attendees are welcomed to purchase food from the courtyard cafe or bring a bag lunch.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August.) Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $10 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

We believe this was painted in either 1890 or, at the latest, early 1891. There is little to be learned from the painting itself, which is one of Zhou's masterpieces in the classic, late style, but the brief inscription, consisting of a signature followed by one seal of the artist, is close in style and scale to bottles such as Sale 3, lot 121, which is dated winter 1890. Only the oblique angularity of it suggests the possibility that it might be from as late as 1891.
Here, the blue palette for landscapes so typical of the middle period is replaced by the green palette that predominated in the last few years of Zhou's career. Like his other classic late landscapes, while appearing superficially similar to the others, it is of a completely different composition. The elements are the same, but each is re-thought, re-invented for the painting at hand. While lesser, later, more commercial artists painted the same pine over and over again from a pattern book, or the same collection of auspicious objects, Zhou never even repeated the shape of a pine tree, let alone a composition. It is obvious that when he painted, he was creating afresh every time.
Another feature of the classic landscapes appears here with the foreground hillocks, left paler in colour than the surrounding mound they form, covered with small, energized, jet-black strokes, all curved in the same direction, to represent the grass on the hilly mounds. Under magnification, they create a delightful chorus of brushstrokes that never falter. It is often in these minor details of a painting that we see the true artist's total commitment to the work of art. A lesser artist or a more commercial one, dealing with repetitive detail of this sort, which can hardly be seen as separate brush-strokes under normal circumstances, would tend to get sloppy or use an easy way out to achieve the same effect. Zhou has created, in landscape after landscape, a faultless symphony of tiny, energetic strokes, all leaning the same way to indicate the direction of the prevailing wind, and never a single stroke smudged, fudged or less than dynamic.
And let us remind ourselves that, even late in his career, in 1890, Zhou stood alone in the art at Beijing. Not a single one of those he inspired and who learned from and copied him had begun to produce any serious paintings by that time.

Project Update November 20, 2012
The FOCUS Project has been moving along in the past few months with the bulk of the activity in the Mountain Rest and Long Creek Areas of the County. We have now installed 200 miles +/- of conduit of the original 245 miles and we are approaching 175 miles of fiber optic cable. The project started out in the urban areas and progress was slow. Once we got out into the more rural areas of the County the pace picked up. We are on schedule to complete construction of the conduit in the first quarter of 2013.
Out of the 150+ anchor institutions, 96 have completed the installation phase for conduit. Out of those, 60 have had the necessary hardware installed to bring the connection up. All of the schools have been connected and 20 are now actively testing their connections in preparation for switching over. The hardware for the County Fire Stations has arrived and preparations are being made to assemble and install this hardware.
The three Network Operations Centers, NOCs for short, are fully operational. The core ring is up and traffic is moving throughout the network.
As we move into the first quarter of next year, we will be winding down construction activities and begin inspections with remediation of any open issues. Connection to the network for Anchors will move forward with many of them seeing their connections go live and carry traffic.
We want to thank you for your patience and interest in the project as we work diligently to provide a great asset to Oconee County and its citizens. More exciting news to come as we work hard to complete this project.

As is befitting of its ability, Landorus-T is a Pokemon that is somewhat more intimidating than dangerous. When it was first announced, its massive 145 base Attack struck fear into the hearts of players everywhere, but in practice, it's not the harbinger of doom that everyone expected. Between a reduced 91 base Speed and the loss of Sand Force, Landorus-T is less offensive than its genie counterpart despite the former's higher Attack.
That said, it's not like Landorus-T is ineffectual in the metagame. Its solid 89 / 90 / 80 defenses are enhanced further by Intimidate, making it one of the few Pokemon capable of confronting Terrakion head-on, and it still has access to Swords Dance and Rock Polish to present a credible physical threat. On top of that, its massive Attack means that Landorus-T doesn't need much investment to pack a punch. Altogether, while it's not the offensive behemoth that was expected, it's still a solid Pokemon that has earned a well-deserved spot in the OU metagame.
Admittedly, 145 base Attack doesn't scream for tons of defensive investment, but Landorus-T has all the tools it needs to play the role of offensive pivot and steal momentum away from opposing teams. Its solid bulk and Intimidate let it stop many offensive threats cold, including Terrakion, a Pokemon with few real offensive answers. It's also a stellar user of Stealth Rock, as Landorus-T's bulk lets it easily lay down Stealth Rock, and its power makes it hard to Taunt against. U-turn is stellar for stealing momentum away from opponents, and Earthquake and Hidden Power Ice combine to give solid offensive coverage as well as protection against some top threats, such as Terrakion and Dragonite.
Since Landorus-T's base Attack is so high, it can spend all of its EVs on bulk and Speed. 88 Speed EVs with a Naive nature allows Landorus-T to outrun a number of notable threats, including Adamant Dragonite, Modest Heatran, Jolly Breloom, and standard Tentacruel, all of which this set can dispatch with ease. The rest goes into bulk, which combines with Intimidate to give Landorus-T the ability to tank all but the most vicious of OU's most prominent physical attackers and respond in kind. Additionally, even without any investment in Attack, Landorus-T reaches 326 Attack, which is even more than a fully invested Gliscor with an Adamant nature can muster. It also has a solid 105 Special Attack, which gives a super effective Hidden Power Ice enough teeth to deal with targets like Gliscor, Garchomp, and Breloom.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Landorus-T's respectable bulk, useful ability in Intimidate, and key resistance to Fighting and immunity to Ground and Electric attacks make it a perfect candidate for a double boosting set. The main selling point of this set is its flexibility. With a Swords Dance boost, Landorus-T can rip through slower, more defensive teams while Rock Polish lets it clean up weakened, faster teams. Due to the aforementioned attributes, it is not uncommon for Landorus-T to grab multiple boosts and decimate unprepared teams. While Terrakion might seem like the superior double booster due to its higher Speed and access to STAB Stone Edge, Landorus-T sports a higher base Attack and has a much easier time setting up on common walls such as Forretress and Ferrothorn thanks to Intimidate and its lack of weaknesses to their STAB moves. Unlike Terrakion, Landorus-T is also not weak to common priority moves such as Mach Punch and Bullet Punch, although Ice Shard will quickly dismantle it.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
91 base Speed is plenty to warrant a Choice Scarf set, especially considering that unlike its Incarnate version, Landorus-T doesn't have to rely on weather for its physical damage output. Earthquake is basic STAB, though it's iffy on a Choice set due to its relatively common immunities. U-turn is also a given, as it's excellent for keeping momentum after Landorus-T forces a switch. Stone Edge provides solid neutral coverage, while Hidden Power Ice pounds Dragon-types, wards off Gliscor and opposing Landorus-T of all stripes, and can break down Tangrowth. On the other hand, Superpower is the best option against Skarmory, Ferrothorn, and Bronzong. It also hits Air Balloon Heatran, which is useful. Remember to use the right nature—Naive for Hidden Power Ice and Jolly for Superpower.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
An unorthodox setup set, Gravity wrecks a lot of top Landorus-T counters. Without their Ground immunities, Pokemon such as Skarmory, Bronzong, Gliscor, and Balloon carriers lose the ability to switch into Landorus-T with impunity. On top of that, Stone Edge is 100% accurate in Gravity, temporarily making it not the worst move in the game. Finally, Hidden Power Ice blows up the few defensive Pokemon not crippled by Gravity, such as exceptionally bulky Gliscor, Tangrowth, and some other Grass-types. Alternatively, U-turn can be used to hit Grass-types and pass Gravity to other abusers on the team.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Landorus-T has some options that seem decent at first glance, but have some notable issues. With its power, Substitute gives Landorus-T a new dimension of offense, easing prediction and allowing it to throw around its exceptional neutral coverage. Bulk Up provides a more balanced approach to a boosting set, but Landorus-T would really appreciate more Speed to secure more Bulk Ups and be a more potent threat after boosting to pull this off effectively. Swords Dance is in the same boat, with its potency being very Speed-dependent. RestTalk has been a classic combination on Pokemon like Landorus-T, most notably Gyarados, but the changed sleep mechanics in Generation 5 have made it largely ineffectual. Rock Tomb is an option on some sets to make up for the lack of Speed, but its low Base Power makes it extremely unappealing.
An offensive EV spread can be used on the Offensive Pivot set for a more offensive Stealth Rock user similar to how Terrakion is often used. However, Terrakion is a more potent user of this type of set due to its superior speed, since it is more than capable of being an offensive threat without boosting moves or items due to its impeccable two-move coverage. Landorus-T's middling Speed makes it a bit more dependent on specialized spreads, Choice items, and setup moves to do its damage, and there's simply no room for Stealth Rock on an offensive set.
Checks and Counters
There's really no such thing as a "hard counter" to Landorus-T. Skarmory comes closest, as most Landorus-T sets will be entirely unable to break through it, but Gravity turns that matchup on its head. Virizion can easily sponge Hidden Power Ice, but its mediocre physical defense means that it can't switch into too many Earthquakes throughout the match. Bulky variants of Latias can easily take a Stone Edge and recover off the damage, but U-turn is still unfriendly, as whatever follows Landorus-T is likely to force Latias out and prevent it from Recovering. Gliscor fears nothing except Hidden Power Ice, but is deathly afraid of said move, so make sure to scout out the set before sending Gliscor in headlong. Slowbro is probably the best counter, as it can take anything Landorus-T throws at it and recover it off passively with Regenerator. However, watch out for U-turn, especially if paired with a Pursuit user to eliminate Slowbro on the way out.
Landorus-T's Speed tier renders it much easier to confront offensively than its alternate form. Notably, Salamence outspeeds it and packs an Earthquake immunity, though Stone Edge and Hidden Power Ice do a number on it. Thundurus-T does the same, and will easily destroy Landorus-T with Hidden Power Ice. Jirachi can be hard to switch in, but it can eliminate it with Ice Punch or play flinch games in a pinch. Faster variants of Celebi often carry Hidden Power Ice, which also deals with Landorus-T with ease. Last, but certainly not least, Mamoswine can use Ice Shard to bypass Landorus-T's Speed advantage and take it out. It can also Icicle Crash against bulkier sets, which Landorus-T is unlikely to survive.

Good weather proof vented shell, in colder weather, another layer would be advised. I'd give it a 4 1/2 star rating.

Comments On Mar 17, 2011:Recomend up upsize. I love the Jak. Rode in some pretty serious weather and stayed dry and comfortable. Short in the waist so will not bunch up when sitting but still long in the back to protect. Get one. You will not be dissapointed.

Uber, the technology start-up, reports that it has raised $258 M in financing from a variety of investors including Google Ventures. Uber's software allows anyone to request a taxi ride from drivers who turn their downtime into a money-making opportunity. Uber started off as a convenient limo service but has now morphed into a ride sharing company through its UberX service. Uber's ride (no pun intended) has not been smooth so far and it has engendered hostile responses from taxi cab services and local regulators. Some of these expressed concerns including safety and liability issues need to be sorted out.
Razor sales for Gillette and Schick have been declining in the past year. Part of the problem is that there is growing acceptance of the unshaven look in the workplace and hence American men are shaving less.

Life's Change Agent and the iPhone 3G
Many people are asking why we've stopped supporting the iPhone 3G. It's because Apple has stopped supporting old iOS versions and old iPhones in their most recent version 4.5 of Xcode, which is the tool (the only tool) that engineers use to make iPhone apps.
The iPhone 3G has a special place for me in my heart – it was the first smartphone I bought in January of 2009 and it was the first phone on which we started developing WhatsApp just a month later.
Then as now, however, we must follow Apple's lead on all things related to the iPhone. Their pace of innovation has a price of forced obsolescence.

MSUM renovation proposal includes co-ed bathroomsMoorhead, MN (WDAY TV) -- Male and female students at MSUM may soon be sharing a bathroom.
By: Kay Cooley, WDAY
Moorhead, MN (WDAY TV) -- Male and female students at MSUM may soon be sharing a bathroom.
A dorm renovation proposal for West Snarr wants to bring the very first co-ed bathrooms to campus. Right now West Snarr is home to about 100 students, and in two years may also be home to co-ed bathrooms.
Seth: "Really all you have to have is an open mind and open personality. i used to do it."
The school has plans to renovate the old dorm that hasn't seen updates since 1962. The new layout includes coed bathrooms on each floor, but instead of stalls they will have full walls and doors with locks.
Separate rooms for each toilet and shower, then a common area for sinks.
Heather: "One of the things students told us was more privacy in bathrooms. One of the ways to accomplish that, is compartment style bathrooms."
But instead of increasing privacy, some students believe it will make it worse.
Molly: "A bathroom is a private place, and it would be more uncomfortable."
Seth: "For girls i can see that. Boys, really, we're open to it. For us, it's normal."
So if they don't like the idea, they can choose to live somewhere else.
Heather: "It's to provide another option, that's different that we currently have in our other hall."
If the school approves the money for the renovation, the project, Co-ed bathrooms included, is set to begin at the end of this school year.
The project would make MSUM the only school in the area with co-ed bathrooms.

You're wrong about FSU--they get nixed from SEVERAL different angles, any ONE of which would sink 'em--but just UF saying "No", plus no-new-market consensus among the rest will be enough, publicly. There are similar strong cases linked to interlocking agreements among all the member-institutions regarding several of the schools who are being bandied about. Then there is the whole tangled NCAA violation-and-enforcement mess. While a major realignment among the top schools leading to so-called "super-conferences" may be inevitable, for now the SEC will, if anything, just absorb TAMU and one other--and that 14th, as yet unknown school is likely to be someone least offensive to most, and/or unnamed in major investigations, and/or delivering of potential new markets and TV-sets.
When it comes to SEC expansion, anything is possible. Here at MrSEC.com we'll give you what we hear from our sources in Birmingham and around the league. We'll also try to let Mike Slive's history of decisions, moves and timeframes have some bearing on our opinions of current SEC events.
And yet we still know full well that Slive could step to a podium tomorrow and announce that Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Maryland, and Tulane have signed on for an 18-team SEC.
In the spirit of anything is possible, we want to toss out a possibility for you to consider. By now you're aware of the claims being made by an ex-Miami booster who's currently locked in the hoosegow for taking part in a $930 million Ponzi scheme. Read this breakdown of the damning Yahoo! Sports report and you'll understand what The U might be facing punishment-wise.
In recent years, the NCAA has steered clear of two things:
1) Television bans — because with conferences holding multimillion dollar contracts these days, if the NCAA bans one team from TV, it could void an entire league's contract by default and cost 11 "innocent" programs big cash.
2) The death penalty for major programs — because after seeing how long the SMU recovery took, it's viewed as just too harsh a sentence. And, again, there's the rest of the league to consider.
That said, when you scan all of the allegations made against Miami — allegations the NCAA will still have to investigate on its own, by the way — you come to the conclusion that anything less than devastating sanctions would come off as too soft… at a time when the NCAA is trying to show that's it's actually getting tougher. (So, yes, the timing of these accusations couldn't have been worse for The U.)
Now let's do some real supposing. If the NCAA does decide to kill the Miami program altogether (highly unlikely) or deliver a stiff television ban as part of other sanctions (more likely), the ACC could suddenly find itself destabilized.
Word has leaked from various SEC sources that Slive has no desire to raid an existing league, especially the ACC. There's also talk of a gentleman's agreement — though we hear it would really just be four schools banding together to nix specific candidates — to keep out ACC schools already in the league's footprint.
That said, there's also been talk from inside that Sunshine State that the SEC has already had some form of communications with Florida State. There have been multiple reports dating back a full year now that Slive would love to land North Carolina and Duke. And Virginia Tech and NC State are also being tossed around as potential candidates for SEC expansion. Clemson and Georgia Tech always get mentioned, as well, but we see those two as being even longer shots.
So if the SEC does have an interest in ACC teams but it wants ACC teams to approach it first, it would need for something to upset the ACC's apple cart. There might now be two things that could do just that:
1) The ACC's most recent television deal assures that its schools will make nice money for the next few years… but that cash will be nowhere near as nice as what the SEC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12 schools will be making.
2) And that's before the possibility of television sanctions hitting Miami which could cause ESPN to try and broker a cheaper TV deal for the — in effect — 11-team league.
If the NCAA hammers Miami — and we don't see how it cannot — then the entire ACC could be affected in small ways (competitive balance) or in large ways (loss of revenue). In addition, Miami was brought in to be one of the league's premier draws. If the Hurricanes are downgraded by penalties, the ACC's overall exposure in football could be impacted. Example: Miami provides a reason for football fans in New Mexico or Indiana to watch an NC State or Virginia football game. But if those schools are playing a Miami program that's been SMU'd via harsh sanctions and massive recruiting restrictions, such a game might have the national drawing power of, well, NC State and Virginia playing one another.
That could be enough to lead a current ACC school to say, "You know, we like this league — all things being equal — but with fewer dollars coming in and less national exposure, it might be time to find a new home that can fix those problems for us."
At that point, the SEC might start looking a whole lot better to the Virginia Techs, Florida States, North Carolinas, and Dukes of the world.
Again, this is just speculation on our part. Who knows how the NCAA will react to the allegations made in the media by a jailbird? But it's possible this whole fiasco could become a Hurricane in the ACC's teapot. It could destabilize the Atlantic Coast Conference.
And that could open up more possibilities for the SEC.

Family supper club – "We had such a memorable time!! the service was unassuming like being served by your younger siblings, a homey feeling, then the food came.. wow this is a defiantly grown up food. The only reason I am reviewing is that we had two younger dinners with us 9 year girl old and the boy "a hard 12" grumpy kids and so over the vacation thing. Before we ordered, from the kitchen came won tons with three sauces. Now the kids are eating quietly thank you god!! Then came the tater tots "three sauses" finished with a mac an cheese, kid are full and happy and out for the night. Now the misses and myself can sneak out and dance!! Much appreciation to all at roots!!! You made our night!!!"
Green goes beyond the menu at this Union Square restaurant, where the food, decor and surrounding hotel all radiate with sustainability. – The Scene
A green-friendly mindset ripples through this restaurant, with a fountain, leaf-patterned carpeting, caramel-colored, faux-leather upholstery, maple wood tables and vine-like sconce lighting. Soothing music and bronze-leafed artwork further create a tranquil backdrop for the space despite it being located in the lobby of the Orchard Garden Hotel. All diners--from businessmen to those merely seeking an appetizer at the bar in the entrance--receive a warm welcome.
The Food
This mostly organic restaurant features fresh, seasonal menus with a focus on locally grown and sustainably raised ingredients. But Executive Chef Russell Rummer ensures that eating healthy does not mean going hungry. A bowl of carrot ginger soup is enough for two. The Alaskan black cod, served atop a butternut squash risotto, almost melts in your mouth. Nearly every dish has a crispy garnish and subtle Mediterranean flair. The wine list, in keeping with the eco-friendly theme, includes more than 20 organic or sustainably made offerings.
Not worth the Ikea-esque furniture inside – I took an important client here for a blah blah business meeting, thinking after the stress of the meeting we could relax, get some good SF eats and have time to talk about future plans.
Well we had time to talk alright...
- took 40 min. to get sandwiches to our table (restaurant almost empty)
-stoner waiter brought fries out almost 1/2 hour after lunch was over
-better sandwiches as Lee's downtown for under $5- not saying Lee's is good just better
-order of scallops was so well cooked, restaurant has invented the "raisined" scallop, those little puppies were like rubber ducks when kitchen done with them
-interior bland
-food bland
-service great if you've got Alzheimers or severe ADD
...and like to waste your dining dollars.
I'd come back here for lunch or dinner if I was too wasted to walk any further uphill on this street. to Vignette or Masa's. Even you stumbled downhill to the Subway you'd get a better meal and a little color in the restaurant.
This lil restaurant has NOTHING going for it except location.
Tried it twice and never again. – I was really hoping that we could add Roots to our list of frequent organic dining restaurants. After giving it a second chance, I have to say that I would not eat there again. The dining room is unappealing, the food is not very fresh and the service is below average. When you walk in the front door from the busy street you can go to the hotel front desk on the left or the restaurant on the right - there is no door or formal entry way. The space should really be the hotel lobby and not a formal restaurant. Both times we ate at Roots the dining room was fairly empty (three other tables and one person at the bar). To be fair, we do really enjoy the french fries and fried artichokes and if you go between 5-7pm you can order a wine for around $9-$12 and get a free appetizer for around $6-$8. BUT, the bread is stale, the Grilled Tofu tastes like a salt lick, the snap peas were overcooked/mushy, and the Fettucini- Chicken- Artichokes was extremely bland and overcooked (the chicken was not fresh nor were the English peas). The table next to us had scallops and a fish dish that both smelled extremely fishy in a not so good way. Our server was overwhelmed taking care of three tables at a time, messed up our order and really lacked the skills to serve customers. The host was very friendly but he had a blotchy face (rash like) and sniffled as he wiped his nose and then handed us our menus and wine. The chef should try to get some honest feedback from customers on the food and service to help this restaurant live up to its potential.
I HAVE TO AGREE- – I was suprprised to see this listed as having a grand opening as we went there last fall for my birthday.. Wanted to support the Green movement.
The place seemed sort of like an after thought-not a real restaurant. ( I get the Ikea analogy) The waiter wwas super nice and just like the previous writer said- the apps were great. Try the fries! Fantastic. Salads etc. Great drinks too! THE came the main course: UGH! AUGH!
NO FLAVOR.. Pretty unbelievable really.. Usually I would just let it go but it was inedible so I asked to speak to the manager as they should know. Two out of three of us had worked in restaurants before and know this can sink a place. The manager neer came out but they did comp that dish.. My suggestion for the place is 1) taste what they cook before sending it out! 2) put a screen or some kind of room divider up so you don't feel like you are eating in a small hotel lobby. Kudos to the attitudes of the service- they were great- friendly etc.. We wanted to support a green restaurant - hope they get it together.
Great appetizers, Main course- blah. – My girlfriend an I love going to trendy restaurants and this place was no exception. It was reminiscent of the store IKEA with bleach wood everywhere and beige with accents of dark brass. Its very pretty but pretty small as well. There are only 15 tables in the whole place and most only seat two. The bread served to snack on before the meal with an olive smear was great and the salads were incredibly tasty. (we had the asparagus salad, and the arugala salad, delicious!) However the main course left something to be desired, mainly taste. I had chicken with peas and pureed potatoes. My girlfriend had sea scallops with grits and a dark sauce. Both were bland and definitely left us wishing we had stuck to the appetizers. The whole meal was around 70 and not worth the money.
Bar and Happy were great with Darrin – We found that Darrin or bartender remembered us from or last visit and was glad to see us. He was funny and professional and with great bartending skills. Thanks Darrin for taking care of us
Nice and Clean – I bring my associates here on a regular basis and always find the restaurant clean and tidy. The menu is very good with lots of choices. Something for everyone. It's a great place for a casual business meeting and the staff is very hospitable and give good service.
Worst food in a long, long time – I've eaten here twice now and both times were horrible. The food is bland at best and all tastes the same, the
atmosphere is seriously lacking and the wait staff is not helpful at all. I should have guessed when both times I went were on Saturday night and the place was less than half full. The only reason I'm giving one star is because the first time we ate here the "Manager", Fritz, was so wasted that at least we got a few laughs. Do not waste your time or money on this place.
so good!!!!!!!!!!!! – we've spent a few days in san francisco and were starting to wonder where all the good food was. well, roots is a great start! not only is the food amazing, it's organic. also, the waiter had great recommendations on where to go in the area. delish!
