Frederick Sommer
Frederick Sommer
(American/Italian, 1905-1999)
Frederick Sommer
(American, September 7, 1905–January 23, 1999) was an American photographer, painter, and sculptor considered by many as one of the true masters of this genre of art. Sommer was born in Angri, Italy, but raised in Brazil. He attended Cornell University and graduated with an MA in Landscape Architecture in 1927. Sommer met Elisabeth Watson at the institution, and they married in 1928. The couple did not have any children. In 1931, the two moved to Tuscon, AZ, before moving to Prescott, AZ, four years later. In 1939, Sommer became a naturalized American citizen.
In 1930, Sommer was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and, a year later, he began to experiment with photography. Initially, Sommer was mainly interested in working on paper with watercolors, but he later moved to pen and ink or brush. As Sommer was working on paper drawings, he was also starting to gain interest in photography as an art. In 1938, he got an 8×10 Century Universal Camera that allowed him to experiment with still-life photographs, horizonless landscapes, nudes, cliché-verre negatives, and jarred subjects, among others. Some of the artists Sommer has related with artistically include Max Ernst (German, 1891–1976), Richard Nickel (American, 1928–1972), and Edward Weston (American, 1886–1958). When the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, AZ, was opened in 1975, Sommer, Harry Callahan (American, 1912?1999), and Aaron Siskind (American, 1903?1991) were some of the few artists whose works were archived at the center. Examples of Sommer's photographs include
Arizona Landscape
Flower and Frog
(1947), and
Smoke on Glass
From 1957 to 1958, Sommer substituted for Harry Callahan at IIT Institute of Design, and he also lectured briefly at Prescott College in the late 1960s. Sommer received many awards for his work, including the Friends of Photography Distinguished Career Award, Arizona State University's College of Fine Arts Award, and Arizona Governor's Arts Award. Like other artists of his time, Sommer held a number of exhibitions in different places. His solo exhibitions were held in places like Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, CA (1946) and Light Gallery, New York, NY (1972). Examples of Sommer's group exhibitions include
Drawings, Paintings and Photographs
, at the Institute of Design, Chicago, IL, (1957) and Museum of Photography, Tokyo, Japan (1995). Sommer died in Prescott, AZ.

text: The 64 teams for the College World Series were just announced today. Oklahoma and San Diego both made the cut, so that will give us another last chance to see Gray and Bryant before the draft. Surprisingly, Stanford just barely missed the cut which means Appel is done. Regionals start May 31. Here's the list of teams if anyone wants to give those 2 big names or other round 2 and on guys a last pre-draft look. From what I've read, for the first time ESPN is going to handle the CWS this year like the NCAA basketball tournament and they are going to be televising every single game (!).

Until recently, the concept of an "Agile Enterprise" might have been dismissed as an oxymoron, but the idea is gaining traction among IT professionals in large organizations. Agile practices can allow enterprise-scale companies to essentially reinvent themselves from the inside out, by leveraging a highly iterative and collaborative development process and project management approach designed to dramatically increase the speed of innovation.
However, teams seeking to adopt Agile practices often find themselves challenged by a variety of risk factors that can inhibit their progress and potentially sabotage results.
These factors include:
In this live webcast, industry experts and InformationWeek editors will discuss proven best practices for implementing an Agile initiative that provides fast, positive results, while providing maximum visibility and accountability. Tune in and find out why a growing number of world-class companies are discovering that the "Agile Enterprise" is no longer a contradiction in terms.

Hi Everyone,
I just got ahold of an unlockable 3gs with 4.0.1 from a friend. I was able to jailbreak with jailbreakme and unlock with UltraSn0w.
Currently it has all of my friends contacts/photos/apps on it and I'd like to restore and load up the backup of my now defunct 3g phone's info from an iTunes sync backup to get back my information.
I have downloaded the 4.0.1 ipsw from apple. Now my question is, is it safe to restore the phone in iTunes (Win/10.0.0.68) by holding down shift and selecting the downloaded stock 4.0.1 ipsw? Most importantly will it maintain the unlockable 05.13.04 baseband?
Is there anything I have to be aware of as far as:
1) activation?
2) jailbreak?
3) ultrasn0w unlock?
Also, let me know if there is a preferred method (possibly using Sn0wbreeze?) to restore to any of the i0S 4.x while maintaining my baseband and ability to unlock.
Thanks so much in advance!

Critically Endangered
(Panthera tigris tigris)
Tiger fur is usually coloured with orange stripes on a black base with a white underbelly. White tigers are rare with dark pink noses and blue eyes. Stripeless tigers have also been recorded but are the rarest to be seen. Tigers have the largest canine teeth of any land carnivores, and they have extremely powerful jaws.
The Bengal Tiger is a large, striped cat found in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Burma. It lives in a variety of habitats, including rainforests and dense grasslands.
Tigers, as with all animals at the top of the food chain, help balance populations. When a tiger has eaten its portion, the leftovers become food for a an array of other mammals, reptiles and birds. Tigers are meat eaters (carnivores). Their prey includes small to medium sized mammals like badgers, rabbits, boars, deer and wild cattle ranging in size from 25-1000kg. Their hunting method is a slow patient stalk through cover until they are close enough for the final spring.
The usual method of killing is to ambush their prey from behind and bite its neck, killing it instantly. Approximately, only one hunt in 20 is successful. The tiger will then drag the kill to a safe place where they will consume it. Tigers can eat as much as 30-40 kilograms of meat in one sitting and can then go for days at a time without eating anything at all.

Sunita's name means 'well behaved' in Hindi and most of the time, Sunita resembles the meaning of her name, except when toys are involved, then she can become a bit a trouble maker!
Come along to the Tiger Temple here at Australia Zoo and you may just get to see Sunita playing with her toys, and in quiet times falling asleep with her head in her keepers lap. Oh how cute!

There are so lots of various kinds of short article authors and authors of articles on the Web and each one is in a various business, has various goals and writes about completely various things. There are also huge distinctions in design, material as well as the lengths of their posts.

While I was house hunting a came across and anime center. Yes, you read right and anime center! I was shocked and excited since I have never seen one of these before. This center is located in Houston and when I went inside it was full of Japanese arcades and of course the typical dance revolution game. The games are fighting, role playing and racing games. I have to say it was a pretty cool experience. This definitely made me feel exited about the area, I guess you can say i'm a but of a nerd. On that note the Realtor in Houston that was showing me around used to own a gaming center before going into real estate which I thought was kind of cool The reason she stopped was because the industry really died down when PC's and high speed internet access became affordable.
Here we have another great game from the RockStar family. When I first laid my eyes on this GTA I thought wow, I can't believe that someone would creating this amazing game. It was filled with so many things to do and so much free range its incredible. One of my favorite things to do was ride around in cars and getting chased by the cops. This is definitely a game that has plenty of missions and requires strategy. Here is a great resource for gta iv -norestriction. This is on of those games you can pull out a few years from when you first got it and start playing without missing a beat. A tip for anyone thinking about this one is to look for the ice cream truck. There are so many hidden cars but the ice cream one is by far one of my favorite ones.
I don't know that this one needs an introduction really. It's hard to imaging growing up without Super Mario Bros. I still remember the first time I laid eyes on Mario in TV commercial and begging my parents for it. I had to work hard to get my hands on it and it didn't even happen right away. Mario was like 8 bit heaven! I mean C'mon, it was just plain genius; if you think about it you must have been pretty creative to come up with a story like that. Two plumbers form New York that ate mushrooms, fought turtles and ran around trying to rescue a princes that keeps getting kidnapped by a giant turtle dragon.

The world's best hotel, says TripAdvisor, is the Phoenix Resort in San Pedro, Belize. Others in the top 10 range from Cape Town to Fes to Peru to Killarney, but you have to get to number 11 before you find one in the United States -- the Elysian Hotel in Chicago. With winter season rates starting at $375 a night, the Phoenix Resort should be good, but lots of hotels charging more don't make the top list, nor are all of the top 10 that expensive.
-- The report shows separate "Top 25" lists not only for the World and the United States, but also for Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe, the Middle East, South America and the South Pacific as regions, plus 30 major destination countries individually. As far as I can tell, the only important country not covered separately is Switzerland -- but one token Swiss hotel makes the "Europe" list.
-- Even more important to most of you, TripAdvisor also shows separate top 25 lists for bargain hotels, all-inclusive resorts, B and Bs, luxury hotels, relaxation and spa accommodations, those with best service, and the "trendiest," whatever you think that means either to TripAdvisor or to you.
Let's zero in on what I consider the most important group: bargain hotels. As with overall bests, separate lists cover the world, the United States, the same seven regions, and most of the same 30 individual countries. Here, the world's top spot is the HueNino in Hue, Vietnam -- a result that many of us who knew the Vietnam War as a national nightmare will no doubt find ironic. But at least the SeaCoast Inn in Hyannis makes it to number three.
Within the United States, some of the findings were surprising:
-- Four of the top 10 are chain motels, as are six of the next 15.
-- The definition of "bargain" is fairly elastic, with nightly rates ranging from around $50 to as high as $170.
Worldwide, the bargain list is more chaotic even than the best list. But the results are still quite interesting. Among the key points:
-- The European region list contains a surprising and disproportionate number of entries for the quaint British seaside resorts of Torquay and Llandudno, along with quite a few in Eastern Europe, Greece and Turkey. It also includes nothing in Switzerland -- perhaps reflecting the feeling that with the franc so high there aren't any bargains in Switzerland.
-- Not surprisingly, big cities don't do well: None of the UK bargains are in London, none of the French bargains are in Paris, and none of the Japan bargains are in Tokyo, although, in Italy, at least two spots make it in Rome and one in Florence.
I could go on: The wealth of information in the complete report is almost overwhelming. Fortunately, you can mine the vast database easily through the website at www.tripadvisor.com. You can also click through from each hotel evaluation to any of several online travel agencies to check rates and availability.
As you probably know, TripAdvisor bases its ratings on reports from individual travelers like you. Some folks in the industry criticize these ratings on two grounds: (1) most individual travelers do not have sufficient knowledge to assign consistent ratings within a global context, and (2) contributed reviews are subject to false reports from a hotel's owners, staff, PR consultants, or main competitors. Both arguments have some merit. On the other hand, lots of travelers find the reviews extremely helpful. And, in most cases, each hotel generates enough different reviews that an individual owner's rave or competitor's trashing gets lost among the many others. In any event, these results are an important input to anyone planning a trip to an area where they don't already have an accommodation selected.

As a proud partner of Northwestern Basketball, Gold Coast Tickets will be cheering on the Wildcats all season long. Whether it's one of the Wildcats' action-packed home games at Evanston's Welsh-Ryan arena, a Big Ten matchup on the road or one of the Wildcats' challenging non-conference away games, Gold Coast Tickets is your local source for tickets to watch Chicago's Big Ten Team live.
The 2012-13 basketball squad at Northwestern got off to a great 6-0 start behind seniors Reggie Hearn and Drew Crawford. The season took a hit, however, when the team lost Crawford for the season-ending surgery on December 14 to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. While it was a disappointing season with a final record of 13-19 (4-14 in the Big Ten), the Wildcats still put together impressive stretches of play while going up against some of the toughest competition in the country. Northwestern played the 15th hardest schedule in the nation by SOS (Strength of Schedule) and still managed to knock off Big Ten rivals Penn State and Illinois on the road, overwhelm Purdue and Minnesota at home, and even outsmart Brown University with a 63-42 win on December 23. The 2013-14 season begins with new coach Chris Collins, a longtime assistant at Duke, and will see the new addition of forward Nate Taphorn, with two more recruits still considering Northwestern. This season will also see the continued emergence of guards Tre Demps and Drew Sobolewski, both entering their junior year. Collins' fresh coaching scheme could help Northwestern finally reach their goal of making the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history.

This sounds a lot like the "meatza" we make every week, except with a lot more eggs in the crust than meat. We also put a ton of toppings on it – different peppers, bacon, sausage pieces, etc. We'll have to try this as an alternative to meatza.
Tuscan Frittata
Inspiration: Frittatas are really a lovely dish that I don't prepare enough. You could go all over the place with them, right? They're good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can always act as the main dish, as they're a good source of protein. You can use up pretty much any vegetables, meats, or cheeses that you have in the fridge. They really are a vehicle for a lot of creativity. I'm hoping to concoct several more frittata recipes in the coming weeks using our gorgeous CSA eggs.
What we Loved: This frittata was almost like a pizza (which is always a plus in my book)! The spicy Italian sausage, roasted red peppers, and sweet onions added wonderful flavors and complexity to the fluffy eggs, which had a wonderful, just slightly browned flavor on the bottom. When I first saw this recipe, what really drew me to it was the idea of the tomato sauce and gooey, fresh mozzarella on top. I just love that!
Helpful Hints: The only change that I would make to this recipe would be to use marinara sauce instead of plain crushed tomatoes on top. I thought that the plain crushed tomatoes could use a little something (which is why I added oregano and Italian pizza seasoning with the leftovers, as shown above - and that really was the finishing touch!). I would still recommend using marinara, though, because I think it would make the recipe perfect. I've replaced the crushed tomatoes with marinara below.
***As an aside, please research where your eggs (and all of your food, really) come from. Eggs from chickens that have been properly raised are a whole different nutritional (and flavor/texure) story than those that you can buy in a typical grocery store, and what we do to factory farmed chickens on an ethical level is horrifying at best.***
Tuscan Frittata
Source: Adapted (slightly) from The Galley Gourmet, originally from Williams Sonoma
10 eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 oz Italian sausage
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup marinara sauce
6 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
Dried oregano and/or Italian pizza seasoning
1. Preheat the oven to 350. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper.
2. Cook the sausage in a large saute pan until browned. Set aside.
3. In the same pan, saute the onion and red pepper until softened. Add the garlic, and cook for an additional minute.
4. Return the sausage to the pan, and pour in the egg mixture. Transfer the pan to the oven, and bake until the eggs are just barely set, about 15 minutes.
5. Remove the pan from the oven. Spread the marinara over the eggs, and arrange the mozzarella on top. Bake or broil for 3-5 minutes more, until the cheese is melted (and beginning to brown, if you use the broiler).
6. Sprinkle with oregano and/or Italian pizza seasoning, and serve.
8 thoughts on "Tuscan Frittata"
This is the basic recipe:
We change it up by replacing 1 lb of the ground beef with bison or sausage, and adding a variety of toppings. We just use 450 degrees for the oven, without using the broiler. It's also good to add a layer of parchment paper between the pan and the crust, so that nothing sticks.
We made this tonight since we had most of the ingredients. We used some pesto sauce in place of the basil that was in the original recipe. It turned out great! We used a pre-heated pie dish for the oven part, since we don't have an oven-safe pan. It was a lot thicker than yours, more like a quiche, so it took a little longer for the eggs to completely set.
This doesn't taste much like the meatza, so it wouldn't be too repetitive to try them both back-to-back. The meatza tastes like a hamburger with a lot of toppings.
This looks seriously yummy! So do all your recipes actually. I'm off to peruse some more of them.
What an an amazing frittata! I really like the sound of topping a frittata with marinara and melted mozzarella!

Hanon x New Balance 1500 "Chosen Few"
August 10th, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 5 comments
Following up that ever so conservative teaser that introduced us to the project last weekend we are now receiving the first full images of the Hanon x New Balance 1500 "Chosen Few". It only makes sense for the across the pond shop to select one of the more heralded models in NB's Made in England lineage (the Flimby pick in fact coming as an extension of their ongoing Northern Sole theme), with the small n-sporting model getting souped up here with a shadowy section of greys and blacks along with a bit of navy for pop. Click through to get a better look at the Hanon x New Balance 1500 "Chosen Few" and look for a launch on Friday, August 31st.

May? Already? I love May because that means the outdoor farmer's markets begin! I plan on hitting up the Green City Market this weekend, weather-permitting of course! Lately, we've had crazy weather here in Chicago... 82 degrees, yet stormy. How does that happen? If it storms, I can at least spend another afternoon making this delicious rosemary olive oil bread. My favorite part? The rosemary aroma that instantly infused our place!
Rosemary Olive Oil Bread
Yield: 1 loaf
1 C. Warm Water (100-110F) - Very Important!
1 Tbsp. Organic Cane Sugar
2 tsp. Active Dry Yeast
1 tsp. Salt
2 Tbsp. Fresh Rosemary, chopped
1/4 tsp. Italian Seasoning (or a pinch of each ground garlic, dried oregano and dried basil)
1/4 tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 1/2 C. Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 C. Bread Flour + extra for kneading
1 Egg, whisked + 1 Tbsp. Water for egg wash
Dried Rosemary, for sprinkling
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar and yeast. Let that sit for 10 minutes to proof. Next, stir in the salt, rosemary, seasoning, olive oil and whole wheat flour. Add the bread flour and stir until the dough forms a ball. On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes (I literally set a timer because this was my first time making bread like this), adding more flour as necessary to prevent sticking. Knead until smooth.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a tea towel. Let it rise until it doubles in size (mine took about 1 hour). After it has doubled in size, punch down the dough and form it into a round loaf. Place it on cornmeal dusted parchment paper; cover it again with the tea towel and let it rise until doubled in size (this took an additional 45 minutes or so).
Meanwhile, you will want to preheat the oven (along with your pizza stone) to 400F degrees. Once the dough has risen, GENTLY brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle with dried rosemary. Carefully transfer the loaf on the parchment paper from your counter to your preheated pizza stone. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.

Customize your lunch with a choice of sandwich, salad and side for $18. Exceptional cuisine & attentive service, all at the speed of lunch.
AMAZING – Top notch chefs, top notch staff. What more could u want?Oh, and top notch drinkables. Muat eat here even if its in the pub area.
The Very Best – The optimal steak house, Capital Grill in Providence RI is a terrific restaurant that you can count on for excellent food, service and the rush of a fast paced steak house. I have an incredibly difficult time going to any other restaurant in Providence, although there are many, because Capital Grill is just that good that I never feel I have anything to worry about when I take friends, or family there for a special occasion or just lunch.
awesome food and awesome service – The steak is the best I have ever had and the chicken was really good and only $22 and big enough to take home. The sides are all a la carte, but you can ask for a half size. The martinis are very good. The chocolate flourless cake never dissapoints. The staff is great and they take take very good care of you. It is a treat to go there since it is expensive but worth every penny! You have to make sure you make reservations or you will probably wait a while for a table especially on a Saturday night.
You deserve to eat here – I don't frequently write reviews, and I certainly don't usually write a good review; but I LOVE this restaurant and have always had the most wonderful experience. We are by no means the ?rich? that can afford to eat there weekly, I don?t wear Prada, and I?m not part of the rich and famous; yet I have always felt like the most important person in the room. From the genuine friendly greeting at the door to the smile and welcome from the service staff and management, I felt like I belonged there.
I try to make the Capital Grille more than our special occasion restaurant; I think that we deserve it. Everyone deserves to be treated like they belong, to be served GREAT food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere and to be appreciated for your business.
I am truly regretful that ?Legolas? and ?Mugsy? had a bad experience, but I can?t imagine that any member of the staff that I have met at The Capital Grille could come off as pretentious, they are so far from it, it is one of the greatest reason?s to go to The Capital Grille instead of so many other options out there; I always feel valued and I will always come back.
Fabulous food, wonderful service – As a couple with young children, the chance to go out for a quiet dinner for two is rare. So when you go in such circumstances, you want it to be a special experience. We had just such an experience at the Capital Grille the other week. The management and staff made us feel instantly at home, and we were able to relax and enjoy a superb dinner from drinks to dessert. When we arrived, we were greeted by a manager and told that our table was ready. We asked instead if we could sit at the bar and have a drink first. This was no problem. The bartender poured two wonderful drinks, we never felt rushed, and when we were ready, so was our table. Our waiter, Chris, was friendly and helpful, chatty but not too much so, and he made sure we lacked for nothing throughout the evening. He also had a wonderful wine recommendation that complemented our entrees perfectly. The food was simply terrific. A kona-encrusted steak was an eye-opener and the steak au poivre was fabulous. The steaks were cooked perfectly and melted in our mouths. We particularly liked the hint of nutmeg (?) in the creamed spinach side. And the lobster mac and cheese was unbelievably delicious. We couldn?t decide which of the desserts to choose, so the general manager brought over an incredibly rich cheesecake and dense espresso cake with some nice port to accompany them. From start to finish, a wonderful experience. A bonus bit of fun was seeing some of the cast of ?Brotherhood? dining at a nearby table. If your budget and baby-sitters permit, or if such things don?t impinge on your life, we?d recommend going for more than the special occasion. We are already trying to figure out when we can make it back.
A Ripoff for the money – The review below describing the night of July 14 was written by my brother who was with me during this disasatrous evening and everything he wrote is 100% true. I actually emailed Capital Grille on July 17th describing what happened that night. My email specifically said that I was not interested in gift certificates or a comp'd dinner. I explained that I did not write letters of complaint to score freebies and that their opportunity to get me to come back was while I was still in the restaurant, not after the fact. They let a customer leave dissappointed and angry and the recompense for that is no repeat business. Nevertheless, Barb from "corporate" responded with a form email and a request for my phone number so that one of the suits could call me and make this right. I repsonded that I was not giving out my phone number and that I had already stated what happened. I repeated my pre-refusal of a freebie and told them to email me if I they had any further need to contact. Never heard from them again. Surprise, surprise.
What my brother's review did not include was the table full of 20 or so men who must have been heading to a bachelor party after dinner. They were so loud and boisterous, their activities caused silence to fall over the dining room several times and drew many glares and stares. I was thinking management would step in and quiet them down, but that turned out to be expecting too much. So if you want a place where you'll likely pay $125 per person to have your hearing ruined, get served a cold, tough, gristly, flavorless steak and enjoy a nice indoor shower while you dine, this is the place for you.
I do have to say that the host staff was very friendly and knew what they were doing and the bartender was very attentive and good at his job. But that's not enough to save this place, where management and operations are very weak.
Oh, I'll be back real soon.......But not really though! – I had the unfortunate experience of going to The Capital Grille on Sat July 14th 2007. Everything started out well enough, save for the fact you could not hear a conversation at your table if your life depended on it. But, once salads were served things took a real turn for the worst. Just after salads arrived, a member of our party started getting dripped on by the air conditioning unit. This was brought to the attention of the waiter and moments later another waiter appeared with a mop handle with a kitchen apron tied to it. The waiter used this ingenious tool to wipe the vent. Ten minutes later the drips returned, not the waiter, the water. Fourty five minutes had passed and dinners were nowhere to be seen. Once dinner arrived, two steaks were promply returned to the kitchen. One steak was cooked but cold, the other not cooked to order. The steaks were returned to the table by two men in suits, who must have been some level of management, I'm guessing at that. Their apologies were as lifeless and as uninspired as the decor of the establishment. I will give those two kudos for being the most pretentious in the room though. If this is someones idea of fine dining, they need their head examined. To pay that kind of money, for that kind of service and treatment is a sin. The owners and management and chefs should be wearing bags on their heads in shame. Appetizers and drinks were okay, the dinner was nothing special and there were better steaks to be found at Arby's. "The Capital ill", as I have come to call it, is over the top on hype and lacking in real substance,brains, and integrity.
Great food, great service, great restaurant – I've been to the Captiol Grille a handful of times and everytime is just as good as the last. The service is wonderful, I've always been seated very promptly. The waits staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is exceptional, the wedge salad is to die for and the filet is always cooked just right. You have to get sides seperate from the meat, but they are great and it is well worth it. Your meal will come with a pretty high pricetag, but the service and quality of food make it well worth it.
The best night out and best experience - well worth it – My husband and I went to Providence to celebrate our anniversary. We walked into the restaurant and saw how busy it was we realized that this could be a bad night; although we had made a reservation we assumed we would still have to wait. The hostess was quick to greet us and brought us to our table in a timely manner. We were greeted quite quickly (given how busy the dining room seemed) by our server Chris Haddad. Chris was the best server I could have asked for. With 2 kids at home we dont get to go out to a nice dinner very often and I was somewhat baffled by the amount of choices I had. Chris quickly suggested the lobster and crab cakes; which were fantastic. When I told Chris I was having difficulty deciding between the Tuna and the Steak Au Poivre, he gave me a knowing look and said if youll allow me to put together an entree for you I think youll be very happy; that was the best thing he could have said to me. I didnt have to make a decision, and he brought me exactly what I wanted; a plate with a combination of Tuna and Steak; I dont think anything like it was on the menu and the price didnt matter because I couldnt have been happier, and isnt that what a nice evening out is supposed to be about. I dont say this lightly, but Chris made the experience truly one of the best evenings out Ive ever had. Not only was Chris fantastic, but we were also greeted at our table by Michael, the manager on duty, who made a point to come over and introduce himself and ask how our evening was going. We had a fantastic evening thank you for an amazing anniversary!
A Great Steak House, BUT... – The steak was phenomenal, the service was good, we were promptly seated, and we had a wonderful time.
Expect to spend $60-$80 a head (more if you order wine). But for this caliber steak house that should be expected.
And I've noticed complaints on the way the steaks were cooked in some of the reviews. Like any good steak house, a "medium rare" is not the same as a "medium rare" at applebees. If you order rare, expect to get something that is close to raw with a charred outside. Ask for well done and they won't give you any pink. So talk with your server before ordering to make sure you're on teh same page about what a "medium rare" means before you start complaining.

Complications, such as stroke, can be a result of a hole in the heart wall. When open-heart surgery is not indicated, doctors are able to seal the hole with an artificial implant, set in place by a catheter.
Patients experience strokes or arterial clots for a variety of reasons. In some cases, a stroke is caused by a piece of debris that becomes lodged in an artery, blocking blood flow to the brain. When the cause of stroke is debris (embolic) or unknown (cryptogenic), physicians may find that it is an indirect result of a hole in the wall of the heart. Debris from the right atrium is able to pass into the left atrium through such a hole, called a patent foramen ovale (PFO), where it can enter the arteries and possibly become a blockage.
The condition is initially treated with medications, including blood thinners like Coumadin, which reducethe amount of debris present in the bloodstream. When drug therapy does not relieve the problem, patients may opt to have the hole repaired, either by open-heart surgery or by the lower risk method of catheterization.
A PFO closure implant is a small device that looks like two opposite-facing umbrellas. Ranging from the size of a dime (17mm) to the size of a half-dollar, a PFO closure is constructed from special fabric and metal, commonly used for surgical implants. Each umbrella-shaped side has special springs that, along with blood pressure inside the heart, hold the device in place over the hole. Over time, heart tissue grows around and through the fabric, making the PFO closure a permanent part of the heart wall.
The procedure is performed in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab by a physician. Your vital signs will be monitored throughout the procedure. A long narrow tube, called a catheter, is passed through a small incision in your groin and up through your veins until it reaches the heart. The doctor may use a transesophageal echocardiogram, an ultrasound picture taken from inside the esophagus, to confirm the size of the PFO closure device required. At the beginning of the procedure, the patient swallows a small ultrasound device. Information is reviewed during the procedure and the device is then removed. When the catheter is in position near the hole, your cardiologist will place the PFO closure device.The catheter will be removed and pressure maintained on your groin for 20 minutes.
The incision site is numbed with local anesthetic, but you may be aware of pressure on your groin as the catheter is advanced. You and your physician will have determined whether you will be under conscioussedation or general anesthetic while the catheterization is performed. People usually experience little or no pain during the procedure and some report tenderness at the incision site afterward. You will not be able to feel the implant.
Your physician will give you specific instructions, which will likely include a few days of bed rest and restrictions from heavy lifting or physical activity, to allow the implant to stabilize. You may receive a prescription for a blood thinning medication and antibiotics. You will be asked to schedule a follow-upvisit with your doctor. Call your doctor at any time if you have questions.
The risks are similar to those associated with other heart catheterization procedures. There are additional risks associated with artificial implants. Your doctor will review all related risks with you and addressany concerns prior to scheduling the procedure.
