Symposium inspires dental volunteers
|Dr. Hewett: One of the volunteer program speakers.
|Interactive: A multicultural game is played by participants in the ADA Volunteer Symposium. From left are Dr. Marshall Gallant, Dr. Ihor Suszko, hygienist Patty Walsh, Dr. James Hudson and Dr. Jack Levine.
The 2010 ADA Volunteer Symposium, a two-day interactive course designed to generate interest in domestic and international volunteering, was brimming with examples and ideas of how to treat caries, from increasing a population's access to fluoride to treating urgent care without much time to determining the most cost-effective treatments for a particular country.
What we really need is "a global oral health care course—isn't it time?" asked Dr. Christopher Holmgren, a lecturer known for his work promoting global fluoride and one of the program's six expert speakers featured at the symposium.
The program's ultimate goal was to help participants identify the long-term goals and skills necessary for a successful volunteer program, how to integrate locally specific approaches both in the U.S. and abroad, and how to network to expand and disseminate the rewards of volunteerism.
Dr. Martin Hobdell shared his experiences of working in the Philippines, where he was part of a study that extracted "pulpally-involved teeth" in young children and followed them for four months. While the children didn't grow any taller, they did experience an increase in weight and reported sleeping better.
"It's not just about taking teeth out to remove pain," explained Dr. Hobdell, a visiting professor from the department of epidemiology and public health at University College London.
Dr. Brian Hollander talked about "keeping an open mind" as he shared some of his own tales. The Bethel, Alaska-based dentist called the transition from public to private practice "eye-opening."
Twenty years ago, he noticed a Russian patient with black spots on the teeth, one of the side effects of silver diamine fluoride. At the time he thought it was just a case of "bad dentistry" but it turned out, the little black spots left behind were a sign that caries had been arrested.
"Now I believe that maybe it's the 'silver bullet' [a reference to a 2009 article in the Journal of Dental Research of the same name] to use in treating Alaska's caries problems."
All of the participants received continuing education credit for the paid, two-day course.
The symposium was underwritten by a grant from the Academy of Dentistry International. It was presented by the ADA Division of Global Affairs, the ADA International Development Subcommittee and the Council on Access, Prevention and Interprofessional Relations.
The program's experts were:
- Susan Berryman, Med, an educational consultant and former faculty member at the University of Arizona School of Medicine.
- Dr. Terry Dickinson, executive director of Virginia Dental Association known for his work with the Missions of Mercy projects and the 2010 ADA Humanitarian Award recipient.
- Dr. Sally Hewett, chair, ADA International Development Subcommittee, program director of the ADA/Health Volunteers Overseas Laos program and a general dentist in Bainbridge Island, Wash.
- Dr. Christopher Holmgren, international health care consultant; co-author of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment for dental caries and the WHO Basic Package of Oral Care.
- Dr. Elaine Miginsky, former clinician for the Baltimore County Health Department who has served on the Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners and is an avid HIS volunteer.
- Sharad (Anil) Parajuli, MA, co-founder and coordinator of Himalayan HealthCare, a non-profit organization for rural development in Nepal.

Spring Awakening is a rock musical with music by Duncan Sheik and a book and lyrics by Steven Sater. It is based on the controversial German play Spring Awakening (1891) by Frank Wedekind which was banned in Germany for some time due to its frank portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape, child abuse and suicide. Set in late-19th century Germany, the musical tells the story of teenagers discovering the inner and outer tumult of sexuality. In the musical, alternative rock is employed as part of the folk-infused rock score.
Following its conception in the late 1990s and various workshops, concerts, rewrites and its Off-Broadway debut, the original Broadway production of Spring Awakening opened at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on December 10, 2006. Its cast included Jonathan Groff, Lea Michele, Skylar Astin and John Gallagher, Jr. while its creative team comprised director Michael Mayer and choreographer Bill T. Jones. The original Broadway production won 8 Tony Awards, including Tonys for Best Musical, Direction, Book, Score and Featured Actor. The production also garnered 4 Drama Desk Awards whilst its original cast album received a Grammy Award.
The success of the Broadway production has spawned several other productions worldwide, including various US productions, a short West End production that won 4 Laurence Olivier Awards including Best Musical, and a series of international productions.

Act I[edit]
Wendla Bergmann, an adolescent in late-nineteenth century Germany, laments that her mother gave her "no way to handle things" and has not taught her the lessons she is meant to know as a young woman ("Mama Who Bore Me"). She tells her mother that it is time she learned where babies come from, considering that she is about to be an aunt for the second time. Her mother cannot bring herself to explain the facts about conception clearly to Wendla, despite knowing her daughter is reaching puberty. Instead, she simply tells Wendla that to conceive a child a woman must love her husband with all of her heart. The other young girls in town appear to be similarly innocent and are upset about the lack of knowledge presented to them ("Mama Who Bore Me" (Reprise)).
At school, some teenage boys are studying Virgil in Latin class. When Moritz Stiefel, a very nervous and intense young man, sleepily misquotes a line, the teacher chastises him harshly. Moritz's classmate, the rebellious and highly intelligent Melchior Gabor, tries to defend him, but the teacher will have none of it, and hits Melchior with a stick. Melchior reflects on the shallow narrow-mindedness of school and society and expresses his intent to change things ("All That's Known").
Moritz describes a dream that has been keeping him up at night, and Melchior realizes that Moritz has been having erotic dreams which Moritz believes are signs of insanity. To comfort the panicked Moritz, Melchior, who has learned sexual information from books, tells Moritz that all of the boys at their age get these dreams. The burned-out boys share their own sexually-frustrated thoughts and desires ("The Bitch of Living"). Moritz, who is not comfortable talking about the subject with Melchior, requests that he give him the information in the form of an essay, complete with illustrations.
Some girls are gathered together after school and tease each other as they fantasize about marrying the boys in the town. At the top of the list is the radical, intelligent, and good-looking Melchior ("My Junk"). Meanwhile, Hanschen masturbates as he looks at an erotic postcard, and the piano student Georg indulges in some lively fantasies about his shapely female piano teacher. Moritz has eagerly digested the essay that Melchior prepared for him, but complains that his new knowledge has only made his dreams even more vivid and torturous. Melchior tries to calm and comfort his friend, but Moritz runs off in frustration. All of the boys and girls express their desires for physical intimacy ("Touch Me").
Searching for flowers for her mother, Wendla stumbles upon Melchior. The two reminisce on the friendship they once shared as children and share a moment while sitting together in front of a tree. Each of them considers what it would be like to give in to their physical desires for one another, but they do not do so ("The Word of Your Body"). Meanwhile, at school, Moritz sneaks a look at his test results and is thrilled to learn that he has passed his midterm examinations. However, the teacher and schoolmaster, who claim they cannot pass everyone, decide to fail Moritz anyway, deeming his passing grade still not up to the school's lofty standards.
Martha, one of the teenage girls, accidentally admits to her friends that her father abuses her physically (including sexual abuse) and that her mother is either oblivious or uncaring. The other girls are horrified to hear this, but Martha makes them promise not to tell anyone, lest she end up like Ilse, a friend from childhood who now wanders homeless and aimless after her similarly-abusive parents kicked her out of the house ("The Dark I Know Well"). Later, Wendla finds Melchior again at his spot in the woods and tells him about Martha's abuse. Melchior is appalled to hear this, but Wendla convinces him to hit her with a switch, so that she can try to understand her friend's pain. At first Melchior is determined to do nothing of the sort, but reluctantly complies. He gets carried away in the beating, taking his own frustrations out on Wendla and throws her to the ground. Disgusted with himself, Melchior runs off as Wendla is left lying on the ground, weeping. Alone, Wendla finds that Melchior has left his journal on the ground. She picks it up and takes it with her.
Moritz is told he has failed his final examination, and his father reacts with disdain and contempt when Moritz tells him that he will not progress in school; rather than attempting to understand his son's pain, Moritz's father is only concerned with how the others in town will react when they see 'the man with the son who failed'. Moritz writes to Melchior's mother, his only adult friend, for money to flee to America; she tenderly but firmly denies his request and promises to write his parents to discourage them from being too hard on him ("And Then There Were None"). Devastated by the refusal and feeling he has few choices left, Moritz begins to contemplate suicide.
In a stuffy hayloft during a storm, Melchior cries out in his frustration at being caught between childhood and adulthood ("The Mirror-Blue Night"). Wendla finds him once again, telling him she wants to return his journal, and each apologizes for what happened in the forest. Before long, they begin to kiss. Wendla resists his advances at first; she doesn't really understand what's going on between them and is reluctant to partake, sensing that what they are doing is something very powerful and unlike anything that she has known before. As Melchior becomes more insistent, he overpowers her objections with a combination of affection and sheer force. They continue, and they have sex in the hayloft ("I Believe"). At the very moment Melchior commits the act, Wendla cries out against it, and the darkness falls. (Note: This scene was slightly softened from the show's Off-Broadway run, when the act as a rape without Wendla's consent was more straightforward. Later, as staged by the Broadway show, Wendla still objects to Melchior, but gives in without understanding what he is actually trying to do, leaving the question of consent still ambiguous on many levels.)[1]
Act II[edit]
Wendla and Melchior are finishing their moment of confused intimacy in the hayloft; they reflect on and discuss what has just happened ("The Guilty Ones", in the Off-Broadway production, Act II began with "There Once Was A Pirate.")
Moritz, having been thrown out of his home, wanders the town at dusk, carrying a pistol ("Don't Do Sadness") when he comes across Ilse, an old childhood friend of his. Ilse, who is secretly in love with Moritz, tells him she has found refuge at an artists' colony, and they reminisce in some childhood memories and "remarkable times" ("Blue Wind"). She invites him to come home with her and join her in sharing some more childhood memories and maybe something more. Moritz refuses and Ilse does everything she can to change his mind ("Don't Do Sadness/ Blue Wind"). After coming close to kissing and admitting their mutual feelings, Moritz refuses and Ilse leaves, distraught and upset. Realizing his true feelings for her, he quickly changes his mind and calls after her, but it is too late; she is gone. Alone and believing that he has nowhere to turn, Moritz shoots himself.
At Moritz's funeral, each of the children (including Ilse) drops a flower into his grave as Melchior laments the passing of his friend while touching on the factors that led to his death, including Moritz's treatment by his parents ("Left Behind"). Back at school, the schoolmaster and teacher feel the need to call attention away from Moritz, whose death was a direct result of their actions. They search through Moritz's belongings and find the essay on sex which Melchior wrote for him. They seize the opportunity to lay the blame of Moritz's death on Melchior, and although Melchior knows that he is not to blame, he knows there is nothing he can do to fight them and is expelled ("Totally Fucked"). Elsewhere that night, Hanschen meets up with his shy and delicate classmate Ernst. Hanschen shares his pragmatic outlook on life with his classmate before seducing him ("The Word of Your Body (Reprise)").
Wendla has become ill, and her mother takes her to visit a doctor. He gives her some medication and assures them both that Wendla is suffering from anemia and will be fine, but takes Wendla's mother aside and tells her that Wendla is pregnant. When her mother confronts her with this information, Wendla is completely shocked, not understanding how this could have happened. She realizes that her mother lied to her about how babies are made. Although she berates her mother for leaving her ignorant ("Why didn't you tell me?"), her mother rejects the guilt and insists Wendla tell her who the father is. Wendla reluctantly surrenders a passionate note Melchior sent her after they consummated their relationship. She reflects somberly on her current condition and the circumstances that led her to this difficult position, but resolves with optimism about her future child ("Whispering"). Meanwhile, Melchior's parents argue about their son's fate; his mother does not believe that the essay he wrote for Moritz is sufficient reason to send him away to reform school. When Melchior's father tells his wife about Wendla's pregnancy, she finally agrees that they must send Melchior away, which they do without telling him that Wendla is pregnant.
During this time, Melchior and Wendla keep contact through the use of letters, with Ilse delivering them back and forth. At the reform school, Melchior gets into a fight with some boys who grab a letter he has just received from Wendla and use it in a masturbation game. As one of the boys reads from the letter, Melchior finally learns about Wendla and their child, and he escapes from the institution to find her. When Melchior reaches town, he sends a message to Ilse to have her get Wendla to meet him at the cemetery at midnight, but she can take no action as Melchior "hasn't heard" about Wendla. At the cemetery, Melchior stumbles across Moritz's grave and swears to himself that he and Wendla will raise their child in a compassionate and open environment. When Wendla is late to the meeting, Melchior begins to feel a little uneasy. Looking around, Melchior sees a grave he hadn't noticed before. He reads the name on the stone – Wendla's – and realizes that Wendla has died from a botched abortion. Overwhelmed by shock and grief, he takes out a razor with the intention of killing himself. Moritz's and Wendla's spirits rise from their graves to offer him their strength. They persuade him to journey on, and he resolves to live and to carry their memories with him forever ("Those You've Known").
Led by Ilse, everyone assembles onstage—now, in some stagings, in modern dress—to sing "The Song of Purple Summer."

Original concept[edit]
Before opening the show off-Broadway, Duncan Sheik had composed an arrangement of song demos for the original concept of Spring Awakening. Back then the musical's plot adhered more closely to the original play's plot. Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik had originally intended for Melchior actually to rape Wendla at the end of "I Believe," but decided to change that plot because he wanted the scene to be more loving between the two characters. In workshops, "I Believe" ended with Wendla's scream while being raped. "All That's Known" replaced a song titled "All Numb". Both songs had the same theme, but because the directors had to reduce time for the show, "All Numb" was cut and replaced with "All That's Known".
A song called "A Comet on Its Way" was replaced by "The Bitch of Living". Although both songs followed the same basic theme, Sheik thought that "The Bitch of Living", being more upbeat, fit the show better. "Those You've Known" replaced a song called "The Clouds Will Drift Away", which was cut because Sheik wanted the song between the three main characters to stay close to the "All That's Known" theme. "Mama Who Bore Me (Reprise)" was originally intended to be performed after "Touch Me". Another song, entitled "Great Sex" (which was intended to be performed after "Mama Who Bore Me (Reprise)"), was also cut from the show because the directors thought the song pointed out the theme of the show too specifically. It was intended to be performed during Hanschen's masturbation scene, but the song was removed and the scene moved into the middle of "My Junk". Finally, songs such as "Touch Me" and "The Mirror-Blue Night" each had a reprise, and "Mama Who Bore Me" had a second reprise. Even "There Once Was a Pirate", which was cut, also had a reprise.
Production history[edit]
Spring Awakening had a number of workshops, concerts and rewrites over a seven-year period, including workshops at La Jolla Playhouse, San Diego, California, and the Roundabout Theatre Company, and a concert at Lincoln Center in February 2005, under the auspices of actor/producer Tom Hulce.[6] It premiered Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theatre Company on May 19, 2006 and ran through August 5, 2006.[7]
The musical opened on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on December 10, 2006[7] and closed on January 18, 2009, after 859 performances and 29 previews. Directed by Michael Mayer with choreography by Bill T. Jones, the costume designer is Susan Hilferty, set designer Christine Jones and lighting designer Kevin Adams.[8] It received nearly unanimous favorable reviews,[9][10] and easily recouped its initial $6 million capitalization, breaking even on August 27, 2007.[11]
Decca Broadway released the original cast recording on December 12, 2006, which won the Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album in 2008.[12] The guitar Sheik used to compose songs for Spring Awakening was included in the 2008 exhibition "Writing to Character: Songwriters & the Tony Awards" at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.[13]
United States tours[edit]
A U.S. national tour (with one stop in Toronto, Canada) opened on August 15, 2008 at The Balboa Theatre in San Diego, California.

The Victorian premiere of Spring Awakening opened on January 27, 2011 at the National Theatre in Melbourne. It was produced by the Young Australian Broadway Chorus and directed by Robert Coates.
The first Australian touring production opened on March 30 and concluded performances in the Reginald Theatre at Sydney's Seymour Centre in April. It featured Stephen Madsen as Melchior and Sarah Blackstone as Wendla.

A Welsh language production toured Wales from the beginning of March 2011 visiting 8 different locations, with Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru (Welsh National Theatre).[41]
The first UK national tour of Spring Awakening took place in May and June 2011, produced by Sell a Door Theatre Company, directed by Pete Gallagher and choreographed by Cressida Carre. The tour will visit Exeter Northcott Theatre, Pleasance Edinburgh, MacRoberts Arts Centre Stirling, Lowry Manchester, Norwich Playhouse & Greenwich Theatre, London.[42][43]
In February 2012 the Galway University Musical Society (GUMS) brought Spring Awakening to Galway for the first time in the Town Hall Theatre, under a production team made up entirely of students of the University. The show ran for 5 nights, received rave reviews, and was a storming success. Also in February 2012, the musical was performed at Bernhard-Riemann-Gymnasium in Scharnebeck,[44] being the last of more than ten productions directed by Mary Ellen Petersen.
On 23 February 2013 Spring Awakening was performed in New Zealand for the first time by Auckland Music Theatre Incorporated as part of the Auckland Fringe festival. On 13 June 2013 "Spring Awakening" was performed in Portugal for the first time in Casa da Criatividade. Spring Awakening is also set to be preformed by Interlochen Arts Academy on 7 December 2013. An Italian licensed version of Spring Awakening (with English lyrics mixed with an Italian libretto) is planned to start on October, staged by TodoModo MusicAll.[45]
In late November 2013, "Spring Awakening" was staged in the UK by the University of Birmingham's Guild Musical Theatre Group. Director, Jacob Dorrell, completely reinterpreted the script, drawing inspiration from the artistic style of German Expressionism. This resulted in a dark and visually immersive production, emphasising the oppressed feelings of the children. The production ran for five nights and was met with great critical acclaim.[46][47]
Amateur rights[edit]
Amateur performances of Spring Awakening are now being licensed.[48] Depending on the locale, there is often a higher age limit to participants to avoid infringement of child protection laws, as performances involving the underage could be considered child pornography.[citation needed]
In other media[edit]
In the new television series 90210, the first few episodes contain the school and some of the characters as they prepare, and eventually perform in Spring Awakening, though in reality the amateur production rights were not available at the time. Parts of some songs and scenes are performed through the episodes, such as "Mama Who Bore Me" and "The Bitch of Living". Annie and Ty played the principal roles.
In 2008 episodes of the Australian Soap Opera Home and Away, the play is on the syllabus at Summer Bay High for Year 12 students and causes some controversy.
Apple's Keynote presentation application uses the lyrics of "The Bitch of Living" on its icon.[49]

Flood alert issued for Worcester
5:17pm Wednesday 18th December 2013 in News By Ian Craig
A FLOOD alert has been issued for the Barbourne Brook in Worcester.
The Environment Agency issued the alert just after 4pm this afternoon, warning people living in the area flooding is possible and they should take action to prevent damage to their homes.
A message on the organisation's website said a gauge in Perdiswell had been recorded at 0.98 metres at 3.30pm today and was likely to rise due to heavy rain forecast from 6pm this evening until midnight.
A flood alert is the lowest of the three warnings issued by the organisation and follows a forecast by the Met Office of heavy rain from 6pm this evening until midnight.
Ian Michaelwaite from Pershore-based Netweather.tv said this afternoon bad weather was due to start at about 6pm this evening.
"There's an incoming band of quite heavy rain and there will be a sudden increase in rainfall and winds at about 6pm," he said.
"It's generally looking very nasty in terms of all the wet and windy weather out there.
"The unlucky areas could have up to 40mm and higher areas could see up to 60mm which will obviously rush downhill so could cause some surface water."
Similar warnings have also been issued for other nearby rivers such as the River Stour, the Rivers Wye and Frome in Herefordshire and the River Teme.
Although the Met Office is forecasting only a little amount of rain on Thursday and Friday, Saturday is likely to be much wetter with a mix of heavy and light rain throughout the day.
Residents concerned their homes may be at risk can call the Environment Agency's Floodline on 0845 988 1188 and select option 1 for more information.

God had a good convention: The Almighty's name was mentioned (albeit at the last minute) in the platform at the Democratic National Convention. And He was invoked no less than 12 times in the Republican platform, in case He is keeping score.
But the real news is that God is having a strong millennium, according to some fascinating poll results from the Pew Research Center. The data show that even as the developing world is getting more modern, it is also getting more religious, with especially sharp gains for both Christians and Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa.

award-wining cocktail program visits America's classic libations & rewrites them with a contemporary edge through natural ingredients & limited-production boutique liquors.
The 112-seat dining room & 49-seat lounge display a seductive & comfortable elegance. Designer Jacques Garcia, know as much for his opulent French style as his pure-form minimalism, echoes Chef McClain's culinary sensibility with a refined, modern aesthetic brimming with character & whimsy. Hand-painted murals by Paulin Paris offer reinterpretations of famous early modernist paintings.
Ever raising the bar, Sage combines a brilliant culinary team, an ideal location near ARIA's main entrance.

Diner Reviews
Sage was an excellent way to
celebrate a dining experience in Las Vegas in style. Very swanky atmosphere. The chef combines flavors and ingredients in innovative ways. Both the snap pea and the king crab salad courses were outstanding. The pork entree was better than the lamb. The foie gras candy bar dessert was excellent. Service was very helpful. Worth going back to. "

Anybody who says portion sizes are
small are out of their mind. I was completely satisfied when I left. Food was so good--it is on the more expensive side but the creativity and flavors were worth the trip. "
Dined on 4/15/2014
Food was amazing and fairly
reasonably priced when compared to restaurants of the same caliber. The beet salad was amazing. I had the lamb which was served to perfection and the crepes for dessert. Interesting menu choices, nice wine selection. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Very enjoyable experience. Would definitely go again and would recommend to friends."

But overall--food, service,
seating, ambiance, menu, pricing--was good. Not a bad experience, not excellent either."

Perfect end to a long weekend in
Vegas - the food was excellent and our server was fantastic. We had the Chef's Signature Tasting Menu and a bottle of excellent wine. The food was beautiful and the service was attentive, perfect for a special occasion or treating yourself to amazing food. We'll definitely be back on the next trip!"

We were looking forward to dining
here- had heard good things from friends. Disappointed in appetizer choices, dinner entrees were ok but portion sizes were very small. We felt it's very overpriced for what you get."
Dined on 4/6/2014
I had reviewed the net for the
best restaurants in Las Vegas and Sage was identified on a number of sites...however on this trip we also dined at The American Fish Restaurant and Le Cirque and they were both far superior to Sage...With Sage charging $35 for a glass of Absynthe, I felt that this was quite excessive....Have purchased bottles of Absynthe and there is no reason to charge this much....The price for other cocktails pushed the needle to the absolute highest range of any restaurants we frequented...The ambiance was probably the highlight as the food was ok but not exceptional...Service was quire good."
Dined on 4/2/2014
I ordered a cake 2 weeks in
advance for my mother's 50th birthday they and when i arrived the cake was not made. They didn't even apologize for the inconvenience. Very disappointed by the service."
Dined on 4/4/2014
We had been looking for a nice
dinner before a show. My wife & I snuck away for the weekend & were planning on splurging a bit. I eat anything, but my wife is a semi-vegetarian & only eats poultry. So we browsed restaurants based almost entirely on having a well varied menu. Sage had a few poultry dishes, & the ambiance we were looking for. The service was stellar! The Sommalier was incredibly helpful, & didn't make us feel like fools for our little wine knowledge. Our server was phenomenal, helpful, friendly, & willing to explain how our dishes were prepared. And the food! We both did a tasting menu, mine the standard & her's specially made. Oysters, fois gras, squab, duck pancetta... It's up there on the $ side but worth every penny."

making this reservation, since some online reviews were rather negative. I am so glad we went. We are early diners, and we were seated in a little depression in the wall which gave us some extra privacy--very nice. The food was complex, creative, imaginative, and very flavorful. It's the kind of place where you can go a little out of your comfort zone. Whatever you order, you'll be surprised how much you like it. Yes, the portions are not large. If that's your thing, there's a Cheesecake Factory in Caesar's Palace. That will be more your speed. I did not leave hungry, but I left satisfied. Very satisfied. It was our last night in Vegas, and it was our best meal. One complaint-the soundtrack was EDM."

The food was excellent, however
the service was so slow and the dishes were so small that I cannot recommend this place. I had to go buy a real dinner after three courses here failed to make a dent in my appetite and I'm not a big guy. My waiter dissapeared four times for over 15 min. Dinner took twice as long as it should have. Avoid"

My girlfriend and I were very
excited to eat here, however we both found that the actual restaurant didn't live up to the restaurants website. Not as hip and vibrant as we had thought. Food was good, but overpriced. There are too many excellent restaurants in Las Vegas to go back to Sage."

We came here in a group of 8 to
have dinner before going to see Zarkana, since it was in the same casino. Man, am I glad we did!! I had the pre theater prix fix menu and every course was incredible. The flat iron steak practically melted in your mouth. However, the beer pairings fell flat to me... The old Rasputin overpowered the steak and I'm just not a fan of Young's chocolate stout. That said, that is the only complaint I had about the evening - my wife and another in our party had the gnocchi which was incredible, and two others had the pork loin with rave reviews. The service was impeccable - we were well looked after without being hassled. You're going to spend a pretty penny here, but it's well worth it for a nice night out in Vegas!"

I'm a food addict, foodie,
restaurant junkie. Sage was beautiful. The food was well prepared, and beautifully presented. The menu was a bit limited, even for the taste adventurous. Our server was awesome, fun, engaging and made some fabulous recommendations. The foie gras candy bar, even though I was skeptical, is a must order dessert."

Party of 5 so I tried all of the
signature tasting menu. Foie gras brûlée is a MUST. Scallops as second course was the best. Dessert was a it disappointing...nothing wrong but nothing wowed."

I was worried about dining at Sage
due to the reviews that complained of noise, bad service, and mediocre food. The service was fine. Our waiter never introduced himself, but everyone was polite and accommodating. The wine list was extensive and the mark-ups on wine were not bad at all. The food was very good. I highly recommend the king salmon and grilled spanish octopus appetizers. The skirt steak was a bit tough, fibrous, and over-cooked (but was ordered medium rare). The gnocchi, although liked by many reviewers, fell flat. I wouldn't recommend the gnocchi or the skirt steak at all. I think Sage could do better with the main course in general. The menu is very limited. There's no filet or ribeye option."

My skirt steak was very salty and
nearly inedible. Service was great but overall I was disappointed."

I attended a fundraiser in
Columbus Ohio at Spagio . The owner was a participant as a Star Chef . I wanted to support his restaurant for his support at the event. The food was outstanding at Sage . Steak Tartare , Sweetbreads , Veal Cheek all prepared to perfection with clean but rich elegant flavors. Our server was knowledgable polite and engaging with respect to our conversation. A must visit in Vegas !"

I love to eat. My wife loves to
eat. We came to Vegas to celebrate our birthdays as well as our 10 year anniversary. After looking at every single restaurant available we chose Sage because of it's unique tasting menu for $89. When we arrived we discovered they had another tasting menu where you don't choose any of it, pretty much just let the chef cook for you. A few of the items on there were an oyster served with tequila and tabasco sorbet, foie gras and a bacon wrapped rabbit loin. All of these things we had never tried so we thought it would be entertaining. Boy was it ever. I could never eat any of it on a regular basis but it was definitely an adventure."

Beautiful restaurant, excellent
service, wonderful creative food. But was $622.66 for 3 people! And that is because the least expensive bottle of wine was$110.00. So build that into your budget if you plan to go. The beef belly was spectacular. And the beef tartar was the best I have ever had. The yellow and red baby beet salad is perfect. Deserts were visual feasts. Minus the wine, the bill was 400 for 3 people including the tip (I take the tax and double it) It was worth $133 per person for the food. Really worth it. Just not worth $220 for 2 bottles of wine (pre-tax) that tasted like $30.00 bottles of wine. All in all, it was a very beautiful evening. And I would go back, I'll just get "on the wagon" first."
Dined on 3/26/2014
The issues started right out of
the gate. We were seated right away, but on a tuesday night that means very little to me. Our server (who's name i can't recall) upon seeing myself and my date treated us like we didn't belong. Like we were trouble. Now I attribute this to my being heavily modified. That aside, most dishes were overly salted, Temps seemed off in most dishes. And most courses were so heavy with garlic it over-powered the rest of the components. Our servers demeanor seemed to change after he found out I was a visiting chef from Los Angeles. By then the damage was done. It only seemed to get worse as the tasting menu went on. Words can't describe the lackluster experience. NOT WORTH IT."

We are in town for a convention so
we get to see friends that we don't see very often. So we want to be able to converse and catch up on the latest gossip. Sage is a great place to do this. Quiet enough that our seven guests could have great conversation. Excellent service with just the right level of attentiveness. A menu that is extensive enough for seven foodies to order multiple courses with no duplication and praise every dish. All in all a wonderful evening"

Short Menu, Attention from
Personnel very poor, without interest, I orderer for a Kobe Beef, it was a regular Center RibEye, it was good, but it is not necessary to lie about the raw meat. Excelent Beverages from the Bar (Cocktails specially the "East Meat West")"
Dined on 3/20/2014
Saturday night dinner at Sage was
surprisingly not packed and service was excellent. Decor is sort of a modern, refined psychedelic, with good views for people watching in lieu of intimacy. Appetizer highlights included the scallops and the beets - I hate beets yet was impressed by the flavors. Garlic soup salty and not fully balanced by yogurt. Pork loin and rockfish both solid entrees - very good flavors and interesting/skilled prep (with exception of the shoulder - just a bit stringy - and rockfish garnishes could have been less starchy). Dessert of milk chocolate panna cotta both delicious and surprisingly light! Rosemary hot chocolate a very nice final taste. In sum, a lot of interesting flavors and preparations with good variety."

From beginning to end, delicious.
Service was spot on, food was timed well and prepared."

We had a lovely meal at Sage. We
have been before and the food is always very good. We had a great cocktail at the bar as well."

In true fine dining fashion, the
portions are small. But that, if anything, is all I can complain about. Started with oysters, sweetbreads (Thymus gland), and Salmon. The sweetbreads might be the highlight of my entire historical dining experience...of all time. They were wonderful. Main courses at my table - a party of 11 who was ever ready to share a bite - ranged from gnocchi to scallops to short rib. The latter was, as I stated in the subject line, meticulously cooked. 36 hours worth of pre-planned perfect deliciousness complemented with potato pave. Given the exorbitant fine dining options in Las Vegas and equally excessive assortment of ways to waste your money Sage was a gem. Dinner truly worth the price."

We celebrated my wife's birthday
at Sage and couldn't have been happier with our experience. The wait staff was attentive, timely, and discrete. We selected from the Signature Menu. The scallops with oxtail sauce was so delicious. The waygu was perfectly prepared. The beef belly was sinfully good. We tried two of the draught beers, both quite pleasing, but the Firestone was a delightful surprise and is now in close competition with Chimay as our favorite beer. Considering the extraordinary quality of service and food, this was an experience well worth our money."

Party of 4 to celebrate daughter's
engagement, wanted something special naturally. We flew in from NY and the happy couple drove in from LA for the celebration. The food - we all ordered the 4 course Chef's tasting - was excellent. Small portions, but excellent quality, really a culinary treat. Did not leave hungry or stuffed, so the quantity was fine and the quality was quite good and a fun meal for all. However, when you plan on plopping down 700 dollars for 4, you really expect the waiter to be on par with the meal. In this case, not even close. The Picasso at the Bellagio on the other hand is a different story, there, you get a 5 star meal and 5 star service. The Aria and the Sage could take a lesson."

We had an exceptional dining
experience at our Las Vegas Sage dinner. Although the dinner will be pricey, it is very, very worth it. The staff and service are wonderful - very knowledgeable and attentive. It was a fabulous way to end our Vegas experience."

Super eclectic, seasonal menu,
interesting ingredients used and elevated. The scallops with the braised oxtail is luckily always on the menu and one of my favorites. The way they cook the duck feels and tastes like the chef made love to it. Service is the best in Vegas. Do a tasting menu and wine pairing- you're cheating yourself if you don't get to taste more than 3 courses."

My husband and I really enjoyed
this restaurant. I had the foie gras creme' brûlée and the duck. Both were so delicious. For dessert I had the chocolate panna cotta, it was wonderful. Our server was awesome. I loved that they brought me a stool to place my purse on. I also loved that as we exited the restaurant all of the staff made it a point to wish us a good evening. This restaurant exemplifies hospitality at its finest."

While planning my trip with
friends to Vegas, I made a reservation here because the menu sounded great and it was close to where we needed to be on our first night. We started with an amuse bouche of duck sausage. My first course was the beef tartare with the most perfectly cooked egg on top. I also tried the oysters, which were incredible (and I'm not really an oyster person). Second course was scallops, although I tasted the octopus too, and both were wonderful. The iberico pork loin was delicious, and I will have dreams about the sous vide beef belly. Last course was chocolate panna cotta, and while it was a little firmer than I would like, it still tasted great. Our waiter was truly a gem - his name was Bond, I believe."
Dined on 3/8/2014
The food was excellent and so was
the service. Jason Bond was our server (though he had what seemed like a team assisting him) and I cannot say enough about him. He made food recommendations which were amazing, as well as assisted with drinks for those of us who do not drink much and were looking to try something new. It is expensive but well worth it!"

The 2004 AL team was no exception, with a full quarter of the 32-man roster hailing from the Bronx. But when it came time to write out his batting order for the 75th All-Star Game in Houston, Torre put his loyalties aside.
He could have gone with Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who led off for him on Opening Day. He could have gone with former New York second baseman Alfonso Soriano, who led all players in All-Star voting and led off for the Yankees in last year's World Series.
Instead Torre turned to Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki, who rewarded the manager's faith by opening the game with a double off the wall in right field off National League starter Roger Clemens to start a six-run rally that helped the AL win 9-4.
Just another highlight for the most dynamic leadoff man in recent history. Ichiro didn't get any more hits in the game, and he left the AL clubhouse before the media was allowed in after the game, but that one swing in the first inning was enough to make his evening an overall success.
"Any time you get the leadoff guy on, especially a guy like Ichiro, good things usually happen," said Oakland's Mark Mulder, who started for the AL and got the win. "He makes things happen."
Torre said that Jeter, who batted behind Soriano atop the Yankees order in the 2003 Fall Classic, gave the Yankees skipper some good-natured ribbing about the batting order.
"[He said,] 'We were good enough to hit 1-2 in the World Series. How come we're not good enough now?," Torre revealed.
Torre's response?
"I said, 'Get away from me.'"

After teaching at Jacksonville High School for 37 years Dr. Rhodes has decided to call it quits, although he may be back to teach a class here or there.
Future plans for the popular teacher are to travel to Florence, Venice, and Rome, Italy, Australia and New Zealand. He also is considering doing some more teaching, maybe at a different level, or maybe not do as much as he is currently doing.
Dr. Rhodes did the full gamut as far as teaching was concerned while at JHS. The first classes he taught were referred to as the "cafeteria curriculum," teaching semester subjects with each semester being an entirely new group of subjects.
He has taught Senior World Literature, Popular Play Reading, Grammar, Speech, Basic Composition, Advanced Composition, Advanced grammar, and well, the "whole smorgasbord," according to Rhodes.
In addition to the English classes he taught, Rhodes was the producer of a musical with Betty Jean Day, the former Betty Jean Dobbins.
Rhodes also coached golf at JHS. "Excuse me," interrupted Dr. Rhodes, "I didn't coach golf, I established a golf team. I knew I could leave school an hour early and take them on golf matches.
"I could fall asleep underneath the tree while they were out there playing. All you have to do is yell, 'Keep your head down and follow through' and they think you know everything, that you're a great coach!"
While at JHS Dr. Rhodes was also President and Vice-President of the Jacksonville Education Association for two terms in what he describes as, "very challenging years."
Dr. Rhodes has taught through four changes in principals and five superintendents.
A native of Jacksonville, Rhodes attended Jacksonville Laboratory Elementary School. He continued on to JHS where he was on the football team, "Well, laughed Dr. Rhodes, "I got my pants dirty during warm-ups. When you're 5'11" and weight 120 pounds it makes a difference."
Going on to JSU Dr. Rhodes initially started out in pre-med, "I didn't like it," and became an English major, thinking he would use it as a fallback as at this time he thought he was going to the seminary.
"I made a commitment to the ministry and became Youth Director at the Methodist Church," tells Dr. Rhodes. "My first term was ten years, my second term was three years.
Dr. Rhodes decided that he wanted to work with teenagers. "It worked really well with teaching; I saw the kids five days a week, even more than their parents."
With that, Dr. Rhodes career as an English teacher began. He left JHS briefly in 2001-2002 and taught in Rome, GA, but found that he did not like the traveling.
At this time Rhodes was also a caregiver for both of his parents, his wife's mother and then his wife Jan.
Rhodes had met Jan when he was in college and she was a senior in high school. They married and were wonderful companions for 33 years until Jan passed away of cancer in June of 2011.
Anyone who knows Dr. Rhodes knows that he is a constant prankster, his humor is always present, his laughter contagious. With his wife's passing, an understandable dark period began for Dr. Rhodes, one that not only his fellow faculty members, but also his students, helped him though. Students were a source of constant compassion and love.
Dr. Rhodes established the Jan Rhodes Memorial Scholarship in the JSU Drama Department, the department where she had taught and that meant so much to her.
With so many years under his belt, Dr. Rhodes has seen it all, especially the changes in education. "School reflects society and since the bubble in 2008 financially everything is upside down," observes Rhodes. "There are more demands now in how teachers are perceived by the public. More things that aren't teacher related.
"The students are busier. There are lots of choices. More work now as a necessity."
Dr. Rhodes says that he will miss the people when he leaves. "I will miss the students, yes, but I've worked with outstanding people all these years."
What he won't miss is "all of the nonteaching requirements. With technology now the anxiety level increases; more people have access to you to fill out a report."
He also won't miss standing in the parking lot for morning detail, especially on rainy days. "I won't miss telling students to put their shirt tails in."
He also won't miss grading papers, especially research paper. On the average he spends one-half hour on each research paper, grading three to four a night.
While Rhodes was feared for his research paper, students who have left JHS say that nothing prepared them for the rigors of college more than Dr. Rhodes.
He will be remembered, yes, for his pranks, his jokes, his sense of humor, but more than that, for the love, compassion and desire for education that he instilled in his students.
He definitely taught life's lessons that went way beyond classroom teaching.
Dr. Rhodes said, "I will never, ever be sorry I entered education." There are thousands of students that are grateful that he made the decision to teach.
NOTE: Sorry upperclassmen at JHS, don't take too much of a sigh of relief that the dreaded research paper might be in the past. At a recent Board of Education meeting, Dr. Rhodes was hired as an adjunct AP English teacher…heee's back!!!!
Thoughts on Dr. Rhodes by a former student, faculty member, and his principal
Mike Newell, Principal at Jacksonville High School, has an interesting take on Dr. Gene Rhodes. He has known him as his former teacher, a fellow faculty member, and now as one of his staff.
With the announcement that Dr. Rhodes is retiring after 37 years, Mr. Newell offered the following thoughts.
"When you hear the words "research paper" at Jacksonville High School, you immediately think of Dr. Gene Rhodes. Just a passing thought of that dreaded paper would strike fear in the hearts of all JHS Seniors everywhere. That one paper could dash all of a student's hopes and dreams of ever graduating from high school. Or, at least Dr. Rhodes wanted them to think that way.
"Fortunately for me, Dr. Rhodes taught me composition and not research. As his student a couple of years ago, I didn't always understand his sense of humor. However, I did understand his demand for excellence when it came to diagramming sentences. We became so proficient in grammar and diagramming sentences that derogatory messages on the bathroom walls about Dr. Rhodes were often found grammatically corrected and diagrammed to perfection.
"Dr. Rhodes was called into the ministry thirty something years ago. His ministry is to educate. During his ministry at Jacksonville High School he has touched thousands of lives. He teaches much more than just research and British Literature. He teaches his students about life. He provides a roadmap for success through his lectures. He also teaches his students to appreciate, enjoy, and take advantage of the life that we all have been granted. His love for his students is demonstrated as he acts as a mentor, counselor, and friend. His ability to reach all students across all socioeconomic lines is a gift truly granted by God.
"When it comes to being a friend, Dr. Rhodes is one of the best. He has the uncanny ability to say the right thing at the right time. Even in the toughest situations, he can smile and make those around him smile. I cannot tell you the number of times that he has said the absolute right thing to help me through a difficult day.

text: Hi guys. I am in the middle of chosing a new vanity for my bathroom. The choices I am down will most certainly make me have to move the sink drain and the (revent) vent line to the left about 8". My question is about vent pipe orientation in relation to the sink drain. The main sink drain goes from the sink, thru the wall and tees right and left. RH goes to the main drain about 4 feet away and also tees up and vents to the roof. LH goes into the revent pipe that goes up the wall cavity about 6 feet and 90s right and goes over to the same vent line that exits the roof. My setup is pictured below. What I want to do is also pictured next to it. Moving the sink make the revent pipe go from LH of the sink drain to RH of the sink drain. Not sure if it will move air the same way. let me know what you think. BTW.... the wall has only been opened up about 24" from the floor to access the drain and water lines. I wanted to leave all vent pipes alone if possible.

Scotch(R) Masking Tape 4735 is an orange high temperature vinyl fine line paint masking tape for fascia panels, two-tone and other multiple color applications where critical paint break lines are required. Scotch(R) High Temperature Fine Line Masking Tape 4735 has a backing that is drapable and stretches uniformly to help create better paint lines. The adhesive and backing work together to keep paint seepage to a minimum. It can be used successfully with most solvent or water-based paint systems.
