Airport Surface Operations Dangers
Courtesy: FAA
Recently there was an incident where one aircraft (Aircraft A) was given taxi clearance from the ramp to the hold short line of the departure runway. Another aircraft (Aircraft B) was given taxi instructions from the runway to the ramp with directions to hold short of the intersecting taxiway and give way to the first aircraft. Both pilots read back their instructions correctly.
As Aircraft A taxied out, and since he was already cleared to taxi to the hold line of his departure runway, the pilot started to program his electronic flight equipment and therefore had his head down as he taxied. Aircraft B failed to hold short at its designated area and taxied into the path of Aircraft A. The pilot of Aircraft A looked up and saw he was about to collide with Aircraft B and managed to stop just short of making contact.
The moral of this scenario: No matter what your taxi clearance is, it is imperative that all taxi operations be treated as the VFR see-and-avoid operations that they are. Always keep your eyes outside the cockpit and remember that any preprogramming of the flight navigational and communication equipment must be done at the ramp or the run-up area and never while the aircraft is in motion.
Always remember that taxi operations, even when you are going to be IFR or if the ramp is in a bad visibility condition, are always VFR operations. Keep your head up and your mind and eyes outside the cockpit. This is the only way to ensure that your aircraft does not become an aluminum shredder.
There are excellent resources available at www.FAA.gov/airports/runway_safety/ about safely operating an aircraft on an airport. Check it out!
Over 136,600 pilots earned Wings credits last year. Will you this year?

Skim Boards
Making the choice of skimboard with so many options around is never an easy task. However, it is critical to make the right choice, since this is what will determine what you experience. They are used for either sand skimming or wave riding.
Structure of SkimBoards:All skim boards are either oval or in teardrop shape. Most skim boards are between 3/8 to 5/8 inches in thickness. Skim boarders use three types of rockers:
Constant rocker: Its curved on the entire length with full arc shape from tip to tail ends. This is mostly used by daily skim boarders, as it provides better control but slows the speed when moving to the wave.
Traditional rocker: This is completely flat.
Hybrid rocker:
This has a curved bottom.
How to Buy SkimBoard:
Look at Material:
If you're headed for a beach with flatter surf,wooden skimboard boards (made of various kinds of wood) are ideal. However, for riding the waves, more advanced and synthetic constructions are used. Fiberglass is used to lend a smooth finish to the board. Aluminum is coated on Texalium boards to make them shiny. Carbon fiber is used to make extremely light but sturdy boards.
Board Tail:
SkimBoards with pin tails are used in sand skim boarding. Beginners use it because they need a stable board to learn the art. Boards with square or 'W' shaped tails are used in wave riding skimboards.
Weight, Age and Ability:
You need to take into account your weight, age and ability while deciding on a skim board. Each board carries a weight guideline, which you should stick to. Each Manufacturer has different sizing. Usually riders who like more maneuverability on the wave or good drop prefer to use small size than recommended. Larger boards help to move father distance but slows down the turning of the board. Slight larger skim boards is recommended for learners.

Murray >Swimming Pools > Murray City Park
5109 Murray Park Ln, Murray, UT | Directions 8410740.658721 -111.886006
Daily 7am-11pm
Neighborhoods: Murray
This is a wonderful park – This is a great historical park, beautiful cottonwood trees and a classic pool with lots of wading room perfect for toddlers and young children. The Farmer's Market is one of the best, beat the crowds of downtown and come here instead, it's wonderful.
Renting a Pavilion? Go somewhere else where they care about the customer – Summary: Horrible Customer Service - Horrible accomodations -
Growing up in Utah, I have visited Murray Park many times. Our family consistently holds gatherings in the park grounds. We were very excited to use the park once again for a graduation party in May. We reserved the Pavilion and paid our Money well in advance. The park does not allow payments over the phone or online which is also an inconvenience. The forecast was set as cloudy with a small chance of rain a week before the event. We thought we would be fine as the park requires a full 7 days notice for any refunds.
The day of the event a nasty storm came in rained all day long. Most parks will help accomodate mother nature by issuing a raincheck for a future date that has not already been reserved. We contacted Murray Park 2 days after the event (they are closed on weekends) and they refused to offer any retribution. The park had no clean up, no mess, no extra costs but yet they are still unwilling to offer any kind rain check.
Our family will never patronage this park again for any future gatherings.
The best part is the customer service agents did not even care!!! Their quote "sorry - mother nature" was all that was offered when asked if we could reserve the pavilion for another night.
Horrible experience - Horrible customer service.
Forget the city beyond and disappear among romantic walkways and thickets. – Overview
Murray Park is lush, expansive and wonderfully serene. Never mind that you're less than a stone's throw from State Street. The entrance is inconspicuous, but a run down the driveway reveals a large recreation area rich with leisure time possibilities.
The Experience
Bring your bat to the baseball diamond, let your kids run wild through the playgrounds or watch a mini-musical in the outdoor amphitheater. If it's a warm day, bring your swimsuit and take a dip in the public pool. Show up around June and you may catch the annual Scottish Festival and Highland Games.
Beautiful Oasis – It's so great that this park is right in the midst of everything; it feels like a secret hideaway. It's an absolutely gorgeous spot for a date or for playing baseball, which I've done more than once.

My standards are just a little more strict than yours after watching turds tear the party apart for the last 20 years. I could've seen me maybe casting a ballot for Perry or even Bachman....but sorry I am not voting for a Liberal just because the GOP was stupid enough to nominate one.
There's plenty of good Republicans. They just don't cow to the estab.

Why Teenagers Like to Argue
"In point of fact, we are all born rude. No infant has ever appeared yet with the grace to understand how inconsiderate it is to disturb others in the middle of the night." - Judith Martin, Common Courtesy, 1985
Most of us dislike and try to avoid conflict, especially with our children. For peace lovers, however, the bad news is that we're always going to have conflict. Our valued individuality and need for control make them inevitable. If you have a teenager, you've probably already discovered that adolescence provides new challenges as you face family conflicts. One mother knew to expect conflict with her teenage son. When she arrived home from work, she met her son at the door. "We're invited to the Stevens' for dinner," she said, "You've got thirty minutes to clean up and argue about it."
Does it ever feel like your teenage son or daughter actually enjoys arguing with you? My parents still tease me that when we "argued," it seemed to last for hours. My dad jokingly compares my slow wearing him down during an argument to that of a lion patiently stalking its pray. However, if he had only admitted from the beginning that I was right, the argument never would have lasted that long. Humorous as it is to look back on the arguments that accompanied my adolescent years, this is also a very serious matter. Many parents struggle to deal with their teenagers during this confusing time. If you have a teenager, or will have one in the future, one of the most helpful things you can do for them is to understand why teens actually do enjoy arguing.
As your child hits the teenage years, a very important developmental change occurs involving their intellectual abilities. Before your son or daughter hits adolescence, can you remember a time when they thought you knew everything? They were amazed at the seemingly endless amount of knowledge you possessed. This is because younger children have difficulty looking at the bigger picture; instead, they focus on literal or concrete ideas. They also find it difficult to judge logical consistency. When adolescence hits, however, the days of literal meaning and difficulty with logic are over!
Does it ever feel like your teenage son or daughter thinks he or she knows everything? It's not like in the past when just because you said something that it made it so. A father discovered how frustrating this new mental change can be. Lecturing about the problems of staying out late and sleeping away the morning, he began to reprimand his teenage son. "You will never amount to anything unless you turn over a new leaf," he said. "Remember that the early bird gets the worm."
"But, Dad," argued the son, "wasn't the worm stupid for getting up so early?"
Stunned by his son's logical question, the father stumbled for his reply. "Um...ah...hum...well...ah-ha!" he finally shouted with confidence. "The worm hadn't been to bed...he was on his way home!"
As this father found out, it can be very frustrating in trying to argue logically with your teenager. According to development expert, Jean Piaget, the changes that take place are called formal operations. Formal operations appears between the ages of eleven and fifteen. It basically means that your child moves beyond the world of actual, concrete experiences and starts to think in abstract and more logical terms. In lay-language, this basically means that a teenager's thoughts become more idealistic. They start thinking about the future, and the endless possibilities. Some teens cannot deal with all these new choices and lose hope. This is one reason why suicide is one of the leading causes of death in adolescence. In addition to the idealistic thinking, teens now have the mental capacity for problem solving and they can detect the logical consistency or inconsistency in a set of statements. Especially the ones you make!
The reason that it's extremely important to understand your teenager's mental changes is because of how it can affect the conflict with your teen. If it seems like every time you mention something, that your teen wants to argue back, this can be a direct result of these developmental changes. It doesn't necessarily mean that you teen loves terrorizing you, or that you have a terrible relationship because you argue. Instead, try thinking of your adolescent's new mental abilities as a Christmas present. There is always great excitement and excessive usage whenever you first unwrap a present. Right now, teenagers have a need to try out or experiment with their new-found abilities. There probably isn't a better "practice field" to experiment with arguing than at home with you. Teenagers need to be able to utilize their new idealistic and logical abilities. But it also needs to be done in a healthy and constructive manner. One of the greatest methods I've found that can help parents and teenagers argue in an honoring way is found in James 1:19. "...But let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger." In other words, begin the argument with your teenager with an agreement to listen and understand one another.
This type of communication involves several things:
1. Take turns talking, because nothing can be accomplished when someone is interrupting or shouting to be heard. Allow one person to completely share his viewpoint or position before the other gets her chance to respond.
2. Repeat back what you heard the other say in an attempt to clarify the meaning. This helps to keep the message from being misinterpreted. It is also not the time to interject your own viewpoint; instead, the goal is to understand the other's perspective without defending your own position.
3. When your son feels that you understand (not necessarily agree with) his position then you get an opportunity to share your needs or feelings.
These three steps can help you slow down the process and allow each person to feel heard and understood. The best part is that you will be permitting your teenager to practice his or her new-found intellectual abilities in an honoring and healthy manner.

Line combinations are the agony and ecstasy in fantasy leagues. General Managers live and die by mix and matches done by NHL coaches since the stone-age, it seems. What we are going to do today (and every week) is analyze various line combinations and pairings to give you the best chance to succeed in your fantasy hockey leagues. Yes injuries will play a role and as the season rolls along those impacts will have a correlation to line combinations.
First up, we will go backwards a bit and take a look at some defensive pairings and those forward combinations that drive a GM the craziest. Let's get started, shall we?
The defense rests……
Grant Clitsome, D, Columbus Blue Jackets – Clitsome has been an interesting case ever since he was called up last year due to injury. The defenseman tallied 19 points in 31 games last year and became something of a power play presence. Due to an average training camp, Clitsome was bumped down the depth chart a bit but injuries and poor play elevated him right into a top role once again. He has spent the most time with Kris Russell (35.63% in all situations). Russell and Clitsome had instant chemistry last year and though it took a bit of time this year, Clitsome has shown signs of offensive production while playing better defensively with Russell. Do not let the -4 fool you, the 22:00 a night is a positive sign as Russell is playing about the same time. Fedor Tyutin also plays pretty well with Clitsome but only plays with him about a quarter of the time. Keep an eye on that pairing though as Kris Russell seems to be paired with Aaron Johnson more and more. Johnson is viewed by many as being a defensive liability at crucial times so be careful.
Kimmo Timonen, D, Philadelphia Flyers – Timonen was thought to have been undergoing a fantasy decline along with Chris Pronger but a funny thing has happened at the start of the season. Pronger was late coming back from injury and then took a freak high stick to the eye that will cost him about another ten days or so. Timonen has been paired with Brayden Coburn nearly half the time (49.32%) but his pairing with Matt Carle (6.53%) has been intriguing. Overall, Timonen has nine points in eleven games and it does not hurt that Timonen has worked well with the Claude Giroux-James vanRiemsdyk-Jaromir Jagr line. Would he have benefitted that much with Pronger in the lineup? That answer is maybe at best. Timonen has a better chemistry with Coburn and if Coburn can stay disciplined, Timonen can be an assist producer at a rate that makes him an above average fantasy producer.
Josh Gorges, D, Montreal Canadiens – Gorges has provided a surprising amount of offense while PK Subban tries to find himself in the forests. The duo is actually together 55.09% of the time in all situations but clearly Gorges does not spend much time on the power play (less than 3%). It seems that more points are coming Gorges' way almost at Subban's expense. The ice time of Gorges averages right around 21:00 (20:44 currently). Gorges has the ability to get the puck to the net as well which is why it is curious that he does not get a little more power play time. Then again his 5 on 5 ability is not questioned. He will be an interesting case to keep an eye on to see if he can stay anywhere close to around a half point per game (right now 6 pts in 11 games, plus-6).
The Forward Thrust….
Matt Duchene, C, Colorado Avalanche – Duchene has really been a perplexing case. He has been struggling ealy so much so that he only has 1 goal and 4 assists in ten games. His line partners have been all over the place to. He has played with Milan Hejduk (around 36%) the most but lately has played with Joakim Lindstrom and Chuck Kobasew a decent amount (over 12% EV). Clearly Coach Joe Sacco is trying all sorts of combinations as our fantasy owners. A guy like Duchene will turn it on eventually and it may just be with guys like Lindstrom and Kobasew to be honest. Duchene will be one to watch in the coming weeks as far as who he will stay paired with.
Eric Staal, C, Carolina Hurricanes – Staal has to be an experience this year for fantasy owners that is beyond frustrating. Staal and Jeff Skinner have been separated for good chunks of time to try and light a fire under Staal. While the 5 points is not real bad on the surface after 11 games (every player slumps), the minus-13 and only 1 EV point is. Also, the fact that Jiri Tlusty and Chad Larose have been playing with him almost 10% of the time and especially more in the first and second periods, the alarms have to be going off for GM's. Even Alexei Ponikarovsky and Tuomo Ruutu are seeing significant time (almost a fifth) with Staal. When will something work? It may take a few weeks and combos fantasy fans. One last thing, his playing time is down to near 20:00 and his shot percentage is 7.9% early are also red flags.
Evander Kane, LW, Winnipeg Jets – There has been a regression in Kane's development and part of it may just be the lack of chemistry with Nik Antropov and Alex Burmistrov. Clearly the two Russians have benefitted but Kane really has not as of yet. Things are getting better but to see (32.42% of time on EV) with these two and little production is disconcerting. Worse for owners may just be the fact that guys like Andrew Ladd and even Kyle Wellwood do seem to mesh a bit with Kane. There seems to be other options so keep an eye on them. In the meantime, Kane's ice time has dropped so much (less than 14:00) that one has to wonder if the when will be too late.
That is it for this week ladies and gentlemen, we will be back next Monday with more line combination scenarios. As always, you can follow me on Twitter @TheProgramBTR and fire away those questions. Thanks again.

A catchall address is a designated mailbox where any email sent to a non-existent email address will be delivered. To better help explain catchalls, review the example below:
You have the following mailboxes setup on your account:
Now in this example, any email sent to email@example.com would be delivered to that corresponding mailbox.
The same would hold true for any email sent to email@example.com. However, what would happen if an email was sent to "email@example.com"?
Because the mailbox email@example.com has not been setup in the system, normally the email would be rejected with a "user unknown" message and would be returned to the sender. However, if you have a catchall setup, like in the example above, the email would be delivered to the catch-all mailbox. This would hold true for email sent to any other addresses which have not been setup as mailboxes on the system.

So far, the trees that have been dying in the 2012-13 drought tend to be those that aren't native or have been poorly planted or maintained, according to the Nebraska Forest Service.
There's a sliver of good news in that: Better care can result in healthier trees.
"It isn't indiscriminate," said Justin Evertson, forester with the Nebraska Forest Service. "Drought really shows us what's wrong. It will take out things that are compromised for other reasons."
By understanding the weaknesses in your own yard or gardening practices, you can ease some of the impact, he said.
Fundamentally, trees have different needs than lawns, so the passion that people put into lush lawns can end up hurting their trees. The fertilizer, pesticides and shallow, frequent watering that keep a lawn lush are hard on trees for different reasons.
Too much water can drown a tree or prevent it from developing a drought-tolerant root system. Fertilizer forces growth when a tree is stressed and needs to rest. And pesticides contribute toward sterilizing the soil.
This is why foresters hope homeowners will re-examine their yards and think in terms of creating ecosystems.
Trees should be clumped together in their own shady ecosystem. As groupings, trees strengthen each other by interlocking roots and buffering each other from wind and sun.
Companion plantings of shade-tolerant ground cover and shrubs add to, rather than detract from, tree health.
Another obstacle to tree health is the conveniences that make modern life easier.
The increased planting of potted-trees runs counter to creating a stock of long-lived healthy trees. Poorly potted trees lack healthy roots, which is something the tree can't fix once it is in the ground.
Also, mowers and weed whackers deliver cumulative damage to a tree.
"Trees have a delayed response to damage," said Graham Herbst, also of the Nebraska Forest Service. "You really have to pay attention to what you are doing. There are a lot of things we can do to minimize our impacts on trees."

Now that a CEO can be forced from his job because he once contributed to a pro-heterosexual-marriage campaign, and a baker cannot legally refuse to bake a cake celebrating a "wedding" that he believes violates God's law, don't look for secularists to pause from their labors on Good Friday. Rather, expect them to continue to pummel a religion they think rejects diversity by upholding bride-groom marriage, but by insisting there's only one way to God. That would be Christianity.

U.S. risks repeating mistakes of history

For those who have an appreciation of the history of World War II — I'm not sure how modern progressive high school history texts might refer to it, if at all — the parallels between the Nazi's territorial expansion and Russia's recent actions in Crimea are striking and more than a little terrifying.

Don't ban Bossy, ban Beyonce
Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In and Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, has a line in her book that states "I want every little girl who's told she's bossy to be told instead that she has leadership skills." As you have probably heard by now, her Lean In organization and the Girl Scouts of America have teamed up with various celebrities and some other well-known female figures to urge us to ban the use of the word bossy. As part of their "public service" campaign they have released a short ad featuring these women lecturing us about how they were called bossy and other names as children and therefore we should "ban bossy." The "Ban Bossy – I'm Not Bossy. I'm the Boss" video has gone viral while stirring up some controversy along the way. It has now been viewed over 2,250,000 times on Youtube. Continue reading

Reconciling (get ready) Solzhenitsyn & Ayn Rand
('76 Contributor) As I wrote in a previous post,"Memo to Cuomo," I do not believe that there is any philosophical inconsistency within American conservatism. I would even submit that Ayn Rand's Objectivism and so-called social conservatism are substantially closer than some of their respective advocates realize or care to admit. Continue reading

Today I want to talk about "crushes", and I found myself sitting for a minute, trying to think of my title options in Spanish. I know how to say "in love" and things of that nature, but a crush is not love. After a quick search, I gathered these possibilities:
Estar embobado/a con alguien – To be besotted with someone
Estar colado/a por alguien – To be cast by someone
Encaprichado/a de alguien – To be infatuated with someone
Estar prendado/a de alguien – To be smitten with someone
Tener un flechazo – To have an arrow shot
Estar pillado/a por alguien – To be caught by someone
Tener un metejón – (difficult to give a literal translation, maybe something like "To be really into")
Estar remetido/a – To be tucked in
Estar perdido/a por alguien – To be lost for someone
Perder la chaveta por alguien – To be haywire for someone
Estar templado/a como las cuerdas de una guitarra – To be tempered as the strings of a guitar
All of these are fabulous in their own way – but none of them, for me, carry the sentido of "crush" – that silly, intoxicating feeling that makes one feel like a 10 year old girl crying into her pillow for New Kids on the Block just because she hearts them SO much. (…um, not that I know anything about that…pero, hands off Jonathan. He's mine.)
So, why am I, (una mujer casada!), talking about crushes? Well because I have one, and what's more, my usually macho husband, Carlos, is okay with it. No sé cómo, but for once he isn't celoso. Maybe he has grown more secure in himself and doesn't feel threatened by my childish locuras anymore. ¿Quién sabe?
Now I'm sure you're wondering who my crush is. Well, he is a man with an inspiring story that came from very humble beginnings. He came to the U.S. from Mexico to work farms in California at a young age. He loved to write songs and he loved to sing. Some people told him he wasn't good enough, but after the death of his mother who always encouraged him, he followed his dreams. You may now know him as "Espinoza Paz".
To add to my juvenile feelings for him, él tiene frenos iguales a los que yo tenía when I was in middle school, which I find completely adorable.
The best thing about Espinoza is how shy he can be. (For all you timidos out there, some girls like that so just be yourself!)
Now that I think about it, Espinoza Paz reminds me of my husband. The ojos chinos, the mejillas adorables, the humble beginnings as an immigrant, the shyness… Wait until I tell Carlos, I think I have a crush on him, too.
"It's just a little crush,
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing,
Not like everything I do,
depends on you."
Okay – now you have to spill the beans. Who is your crush?

I totally know what you mean!
I have two: a white boy & hispanic boy.
Henry Rollins (whom I've seen live twice & stood merely feet away from).
Pitbull. Yes. Pitbull. Nom.
I haven't heard of Espinoza Paz. Will now, though. Esta guapo!
That is too funny! How did I guess you were going to say precisely Expinoza Paz? The dude is pretty humble and talented, two very rare traits to find together, so I can understand your crush, lol.
Mine, is a little less innocent, more steamy and idolizing. Who you ask? None other than the only woman who can abbreviate her name into three single letters and inspire so much excitement in me: JLO!
Ever since, Selena I've had a huge crush on her, and no matter what anyone says about her…I watch, listen and read anything with her name on it. It's really pretty funny now that I think about it, but she is just all wonderful in my eyes!
'Estoy bien clavado!'
I heart Enrique Iglesias (jr obviously). He is so sexy, I don't even care that he doesn't go for girls (or so the rumors say, who knows huh?) I am not CRAZY about him, but he comes on the tv or I hear his song, I stop and smile.
hmmm… never heard of Espinoza Paz pero he looks like "crush" material!
Mine is Gil Cerezo, singer of Mexican rock band Kinky. I love his boyish face xP
Espinoza Paz is cute and definitely sweet but, certainly not my type. Those braces distract me too much. They remind me of my son's braces.
Oh my goodness!! Who's my crush/es? I'll keep my list short and sweet. Clive Owen, Russell Crowe, & Brad Pitt. All tall, strong, macho, very handsome men with thick wavy hair. Hmmm… I think I just described my husband too. ;)
Oye Tracy, se te olvido la version guanaca para "crush," cual es "enculada." LOL
Ej: A Tracy le encula Espinoza Paz.
He is not a bad person to have a crush on, love his dimples and the singing ain't bad at all.
I'm not gonna lie, it's all about Yandel. ;]
Hola chicas,
I'm new here and I have been really enjoying your blog. I found you while I was searching for lyrics of the musica entrada de Los Herederos del Monte.I have been reading through your archives and I stumbled upon this entry. I wanted to share my big crush with you all,he is a 35 year old papacito originally from Madrid Spain that makes me melt everytime I hear or see anything about him. My daughter says I'm completamente obsessionada con el and my husband can't stand it anymore. Everything is Enrique, Enrique, Enrique!!!!! Enrique is the reason why I started to learn espanol so I can watch his interviews en espanol. I wished I had someone to practicar mi espanol with. It's still muy mal pero I understand suficiente to get me into trouble. I am trying to teach myself through some books, internet and mi favorita: los novelas cada noche. I'm muy feliz to have found your page and I hope I can make some new amigas/os here.

Sunday To Thursday From 05:30 PM To 10:00 PM Friday To Saturday From 05:30 PM To 11:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Cow Hollow, North
Crispy onions rings. Order them. And please share.
Melt in your mouth good food! – We loved our dinning experience at Terzo in large due part to the yummy food & our outstanding server Ron. The homemade pita & humus is a must have - the pita is warm & pillowy soft & the humus is creamy & flavorful. The chicken spiedini is melt in your mouth good & like nothing I have ever had. I would definitely go back to Terzo for the mouth watering foods (local & organic is always a plus!) and the terrific service (not pushy, but very attentive & knowledgable)!
Cute place, but you might leave hungry and broke – I went with two girlfriends on a Friday night before going out. We ordered what we thought would be enough food, but left very hungry by the end and had to get pizza later that night. The food was quite tasty, and the wine list was better than average, but the prices are way too high for the amount of food on the plates. I would only recommend this place if you were going out for a glass of wine and an appetizer BEFORE you go out to eat elsewhere.
Great Small Plates – I love this place! I realize some people wrote they had a bad experience, however I loved my meal so much I had to write. The ambience and service was good. I don't drink wine but my firends liked theirs fine.
Great location too.
Excellent food that costs way too much – Excellent food, lovely cozy atmosphere, friendly service, but the prices!!! Terzo takes the "small plate" concept to a whole new level. The plate are REALLY small, which is nice because you can try many different things, but they should really adjust the pricing. We enjoyed all of the food we ordered (except the Chicken Spiedini which was horrible and inedible), but we didn't eat nearly enough to justify our bill. If price is no option to you, then I'd recommend the Hand Cut Noodles and the Sea Bass, in particular. Both were amazing.
Overpriced wine list! – Buyer beware! Unfortunately, this is another San Francisco restaurant overcharging for their wine. No, I don't mind if restaurants charge 2x to 2.5x retail for their high end wine or even 2.5x to 3x retail for their low end wine. But more than 4x retail. . .absolutely unacceptable. See for yourself. Their $40 bottle of Quinta de Cabriz can be found via several online retailers at less than $10, the lowest being $6.99. I won't be going back until they change their wine pricing policy. Oh, and by the way, they also have a $25 corkage fee. That's extortion if you ask me.
delicous all around – great wine list and tasty tapas. what more could you ask for? it was a delightful dining experience - we went in for an early dinner. delicious all around.
Best Tapas and best Bartender in SF – I've been in town for over 80 years and I have got to say that Terzo is far and away the best wine and Tapas joint in town. You cannot replicate the food and service you get from the chef co-owner Mark Gordon and his professional staff --especially Michael the bartender. Michael made my dining experience worth the half hour search for parking. His charm and wit made my whole evening.
I found the simple, authentic Mediterranean and Italian dishes at Terzo delicious but unpretentious. The genius of this place is its subtlty and simplicity, combined with innovation.
? Pros: charming, blue eyed bartender, great wine, diverse menu
? Cons: I have to agree that the music selection leaves something to be desired. However, this does not affect my rating -- almost though!
Loud music, mediocre staff, less than average food – Truth be told, the design is nice, warm and at some level inviting. The customer are... well, for instance the lady next to me during dinner reminded me of Michael Jackson. But some people like that. So ok, let's talk food... wait no. Let's talk "turn the $^$%$%$ bad <old club> music down"! The music and the food don't go together -- to the owner: have someone else pick the music and turn it down. I realize you're trying to turn tables and would rather folks came in, ate and left quickly, but seriously, we skipped desert because of it.
Now, the food. In all honestly. It was good. But let me clarify. I'm from Normandy. I love heavy food with tons of butter. This is exactly the source of all goodness from Chef whatshisname -- butter! In everything and a lot of it. I read a review that stated that food was too salty... well, it's salted butter. The dishes will never be bad as they are drenched in butter (kinda made me home sick)... nothing creative food-wise. Foodsies, stay away. Go to Tartine or something along the line. Hope this helped. cheers. :)
Hold the salt! – I really wanted to love this restaurant, but the food was so salty it was almost unbearable. Even something simple like sea bass with garbanzo beans was drenched in what I am sure was an organic, mediteranean sea salt of provenance. I'd rather eat at A16 for wonderful italian food, or Coco500 for modern small plates. Or even Roses Cafe across the street is a better choice.
Still, many redeeming qualities including - lovely space, very attentive service and an excellent selections of wine by the glass.
We ate rapini that was pureed with fresh ricotta. Nice! (& Salty). Spinach with poached egg and bits of pancetta. sea bass (sent back), cold roast beef, and a fried calzone type thing with mozarella and a marinara sauce that saved us from going home hungry.
It's frankly the *perfect* place to go meet for wine (no hard liquor there) and have a bite or two before going home for dinner or our somewhere else for a real meal. When the kitchen fine tunes itself it will be worth another star (or possibly two!)
Well-heeled locals gather over a selection of seasonal Mediterranean small plates at this hip dining establishment. – The Scene
Three warm-hued dining areas and a large front patio constitute this comfortably chic atmosphere for casual weekday get-togethers and more intimate affairs. Rustic touches of exposed brick, country flowers, and shelves upon shelves of wine bottles soften the modern angular wooden tables and leather-covered banquettes. An open kitchen and functioning fireplace lend subtle touches of drama.
The Food
Chef Mark Gordon's plays liberally with herbs and spices in his inspired small plate menu. Traces of fresh oregano punctuate Coco Blanc beans, heirloom tomatoes and ricotta. Chive spikes and a drizzle of creme fraiche adorn ribbons of house-cured salmon and cucumber; and olive charmoula adds punch to a chunk of grilled halibut atop al dente chick peas. Strawberry shortcake provides an appropriate finish with cardamom-spiked biscuits beneath a glistening robe of fresh strawberries and peaches.

The three long cuts running the length of the outsole help improve lateral motion.
The name FABRE is derived from the FAstBREak move in basketball, with BL standing for "basketball" and S standing for "short", as it has a low-cut profile.
FABRE BL-S is based on a classic basketball shoe from 1975, and is characterized by the innovative "slit-cut" outsole design, which was uniquely registered to Onitsuka Tiger in the 1970s.

Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí
One of Costa Rica's lesser-known eco-destinations has been developing a growing selection of nature-theme activities in recent years. In the 19th century, Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí was a thriving river port and the only link with the coastal lands straight east. Fortunes nose-dived with the construction of a full-fledged port in the town of Moín near Limón, and today Puerto Viejo has a slightly run-down air. The activities of the Nicaraguan Contras made this a danger zone in the 1980s, but now that the political situation has improved, boats once again ply the old route up the Sarapiquí River to the San Juan River on the Nicaraguan frontier, from where you can travel downstream to Barra del Colorado or Tortuguero. (Wars of words still occasionally flare up between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, but they need not concern you as a visitor.) A few tour companies have Sarapiquí River tours with up to Class III rapids in the section between Chilamate and La Virgen, with plenty of wildlife to see. If you prefer to leave the driving to them, many of the lodges operate boat tours on the tamer sections of the river.

Keynote SpeakerBruce Jenner
Bruce Jenner is arguably the greatest athlete in the world. He captivated audiences when he broke the world record by scoring 8,634 points in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, earning him a Gold medal and the title of "World's Greatest Athlete." Jenner was the 1976 recipient of the James E. Sullivan award as the top amateur athlete in the United States. The Associate Press also named him "Male Athlete of the Year" later that same year. Bruce was also inducted into the Olympic Hall of Fame in 1986, the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame, the Connecticut Sports Hall of Fame in 1994 and the United States National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1980.
Bruce is also a highly respected and much sought-after motivational speaker, especially within the corporate sector. In his life, Bruce chooses to find his inner champion, and wrote a book "Finding the Champion Within" to reflect his ventures.
Currently, Bruce is an ambassador for Boehringer Ingelheim's "DRIVE4COPD" campaign. Bruce works to raise awareness for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, which is a serious lung disease. As part of the event, Bruce drove across the country to screen people to see if they are at risk, and educate audiences about the disease.
As an entrepreneur, actor, author, spokesperson and television personality, Bruce remains enthusiastic in all of his endeavors. A man of all trades, Bruce's efforts have made him an inspiration to audiences around the world. He maintains his hero and role model status to this day.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was very pleased with my order. I customized the color and loved the choices. It was very nice to be able to choose the color that was just right to match the wedding theme. I also upgraded the paper and was beyond pleased with that as well. Printing was crisp and so professional. Everyone loved the invites!"
"I was so thrilled with these invitations. The coloring and style were exactly what I was looking for. Most importantly, I wanted to have a designer move some of the text higher on the page ( felt it was too jumbled all together). I also needed some special instructions to guests printed on the back regarding a surprise for the bride - Submitted it, they changed it at no cost, got back to me quickly, and I had them 3 days later. Will definitely be using wpd again ! Also love that I am able to have guests respond online without using my own email address !"
"I ordered these for my sisters bridal shower, and they are gorgeous! I added the shimmer to the cards and they turned out beautifully. When I wasn't able to fit everything on the card, a designer made it fit. My order came quickly and the customer service from Wedding Paper Divas was excellent. I can't rave enough how satisfied I am with my invitations and this company!"
"The entire process was simple and quick. Cards looked just as they were supposed to with no blurry issues. They were delivered in a neat little package with everything I could need. Very impressed and will be using this site again in the future."
"I ordered these for my sister's bridal shower. They are adorable and the few people I showed them to agreed. I couldn't get everything to fit for the RSVP section. The free digital review was great and wedding paper divas was able to fit in my rsvp website and phone # nicely. I was impressed at how fast the invites came. They look great and I ordered the rectangular envelopes so that I wouldn't have to buy extra postage."
