As the first round of interviews will round out tomorrow with Fox it looks like this will be a 2 man race between John Fox and Rick Dennison. One an offensive guy, the other defensive. Lets take a look at possible candidates to pair up with Fox on the offensive side or join up with Dennison.
Mike McCoy is a Josh McDaniels guy and probably knows Tebow and his skill set better than any other coordinator in the NFL. Former qb coach with the Panthers he seems like a perfect fit for Fox and a guy he would feel comfortable with. There has been speculation that he will take Charlie Weis' job as Chiefs OC but nothing has been said in the last couple days.
My opinion is that there are better guys out there then McCoy. I understand that the last few games of the year the coaches were trying to just get Tebow a feel for the game and not give him anything to complicated but the play calling was way too conservative, basic and just not good in my opinion.
via gridironfans.com
Eric Studesville is a guy not many Broncos fans knew about six weeks ago but here he is interviewing for the head coaching job. Id say his chances are extremely slim to none but I have to say I am a fan of this guy. Before he was with the Broncos he was the Bills RB coach from 2004-2008 and in 2009 was in charge of the Bills running game. He helped produce three 1000 yard runners including undrafted free agent and one of my favorite players in the league Fred Jackson.
Studesville is a guy the players all seem to like and from watching his post game interviews how cant you like this guy. He is a great leader and his a good knowledge of the game. However, I dont think he would be a great fit to run the offense if Fox is head coach. On the other hand, if Rico is hired i could definitely picture Studesville as OC working with Dennison. I think we should definitely try to keep him part of the staff but probably as the RB coach. The OC that works with Tebow should probably be a quarterbacks coach.
Darrell Bevell has served as the offensive coordinator for the vikings for the past four years and was previously a qb coach and wr coach for the Packers. I honestly do not know a whole lot about Bevell besides the fact that most Vikings fans have nothing but bad things to say about this guy. He has not officially been let go from the Vikings but all indications show that he will be gone soon.
Tom Clements is a former NFL and CFL quarterback who has been the qb coach for the Packers the last 4 years. He served as the OC for the Bills for two and was the qb coach for the Saints, Chiefs, and Steelers. Clements seems like a guy who can fit the mold as OC here and could be a good coach for Tebow.
Pete Carmichael jr is currently the OC for the New Orleans Saints. He has held that title since 2009 and was the qb coach for the previous 3 years. Working with Drew Brees and Sean Peyton has given Carmichael loads of experience with some of the best offensive minds. The only chance i see him coming here is if Fox is HC and Carmichael can take control of the offense. He could bring a lot to Denver and I think would be a great hire as OC.
Frankly, this job is not very attractive right now. We have seen this through the coaches that have backed out on us and it seems that a lot of coaches would not leave an OC job to be an OC here. I think the Broncos will have to find a quarterbacks coach dedicated to Tebow and the Broncos system. The Broncos are looking for a great DC to go with Dennison or great OC to work with Fox IMO.
My choice is still Rick Dennison for HC and Mike Singletary for DC but those are my two cents. What are yours Bronco fans?????

How Morning Exercise Can Boost Your Career
Getting your workout in early can be an easy way to climb the ladder.
There are mounds of research showing the broad benefits of regular exercise, but most Americans still resist. Even last year, just over a third of men and women of working age—25 to 64 years old—engaged in regular physical activity (that's 30 minutes of light to moderate activity five times a week, or 20 minutes of vigorous exercise three times a week), according to the Center for Disease Control's National Health Interview Survey.
[See 10 ways to make any job healthier.]
There may have been no year more important for Americans to be exercising than 2009, as the employed were weary with stress from being overworked and anxious, and the unemployed physically and mentally drained by fruitless job searches and foreboding headlines. Exercise provides the rare multidimensional benefits of improved physical and mental health, and morning exercise appears to give workers an edge. In the recently published book, Wellbeing: The Five Essential Elements, coathors Tom Rath and Jim Harter examined the qualities and habits that contribute to high levels of wellbeing in the social, career, financial, physical, and community elements of life. When it comes to daily habits for physical wellbeing, morning exercise is hard to beat. Studies show that a 20 minute workout can boost your mood for hours afterward. "It is so easy to put things off, but when people exercise in the morning, in many cases they did so because over time they realized that working out in the morning puts you in a better mood and you're more productive and you have more energy throughout the workday," Rath says. "People with high levels of wellbeing have been careful to work out early in the morning and not to have heavy meals throughout the day."
Waiting too late to exercise may do some damage to your sleep. Sleep is critical to physical and psychological health and productivity, but it can be a fragile thing. Research shows that strenuous exercise within two hours of sleep can hurt your ability to fall asleep. And when you're working long days, sometimes you have just a couple of hours between the end of the workday and bedtime.
[Find the best mutual funds for you.]
When you put off exercise until your workday is finished, the abundance of scheduling conflicts that arise can be positively mind-boggling. Some days, it may be easy to leave the office by 6 p.m. But other days, you may be working late at the office, juggling dinner invitations, or you may have to pick up the dry-cleaning before the store closes. "People that exercise in the morning are more likely to make it a habit, as there's less chance of scheduling conflicts that get in the way of exercise," says Julia Valentour, an exercise physiologist and program coordinator at the American Council on Exercise. Another benefit of morning workouts: If you're training for a morning race, working out at the same time of day will give you a better time on race day.
Ultimately, the best time to work out is a time that you're most able and willing to commit to. "If you're not a morning person, it's going to make it that much harder to get out and exercise, it's going to be that much easier to put it off," Valentour says. In fact, studies show that the most productive workouts occur when body temperature is highest, which is usually in late afternoon. "It gives you more power, better performance, the muscles are warmer, more flexible, your perceived exertion is lower and your resting heart rate is lower," she notes. The only problem, of course, is that most people are working in the middle of the afternoon.
[See the 50 best careers for 2010.]
Valentour shared some tips on making morning workouts a routine:
Find a partner. It's easier to brush off a workout when you're only accountable to yourself, so find a workout buddy who can help you stay on track. "I used to run in the morning when I had a friend who lived in the neighborhood," Valentour says. "I think that's a big motivating factor—having someone there to work out with, especially in the morning, because it's so easy to hit the snooze button. But knowing that she would be there waiting for me, I got up and I did it."

Cocoa-Pumpkin French MacaronsOctober 28, 2009 at 2:32 pm | Posted in French Macarons, Merry Halloween, Sweet Treats, {the atomic cakery} | 2 Comments
Clearly, my French mac and pumpkin spice fever is as strong as ever. I firmly believe, and who can argue with me, that pumpkin and chocolate are culinary soulmates. And the color combination is gorgeous too!
Cocoa Macarons:
3 egg whites
3 tbs granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup almonds
3 tbs unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 cups of your favorite buttercream
3 1/2 tbs pumpkin puree
1 tbs (more or less to taste) pumpkin pie spice
Zap eggwhites in the microwave for about 20 seconds. (This mimics the aging process of the egg whites. You're supposed to leave them out on your countertop for 48 hours, but personally I don't have the forthought to do such a thing.) With the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites to a foam, then slowly add the granulated sugar until your meringue is nice and glossy. In the meantime, pulse the almonds in your food processor till they are finely ground. Add in the powdered sugar and cocoa and pulse until combined. Fold the powdered sugar/almond mixture into the meringue until just combined, which shouldn't be more than 40 or 50 strokes.
Now the (kinda) tricky part: This batter is very thick, so don't let it sit and stabilize in the mixing bowl. Go ahead and Fill a piping bag fitted with a medium-sized round tip. (I used a Wilton #12.) Pipe 1-inch circles onto parchment paper. Important: let them stand on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes so they can set up. If you immediately put them in the oven, they won't get that cute textured side we all love so much. Go ahead and preheat the oven to 280F. Bake for 20 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes; if you have trouble getting them off the parchment, add a little bit of cold water under the parchment and they should pop right off.

The Cincinnati Park Board has decided to cancel Saturday's Balluminaria at Eden Park because of the forecast for high winds.
Officials said in a release balloons like calmer wind speeds, in the single digits, especially for inflating in smaller areas such as Mirror Lake. Wind speeds Saturday are predicted to be 20 plus miles per hour.
The park board said it doesn't want to risk the safety of the balloonists, staff or guests.
The event will not be rescheduled.
An automatic recount is warranted in the race for the ninth and final Cincinnati City Council seat between Republican Amy Murray and Democrat Laure Quinlivan, but it is up to Quinlivan whether the recount will go forward.
In the official count by the Hamilton County Board of Elections done this week, Murray led Quinlivan by 859 votes – within the one-half percent difference that triggers an automatic recount.
But Sally Krisel, the deputy director of the board of elections, said Quinlivan could ask the board not to do the recount.
The Dayton Independent School district in Kentucky announced Thursday, former superintendent, Gary Rye, is responsible for paying back every penny he stole during his 15-year tenure.
Rye was initially accused of stealing about $224,000 in benefits from the district between 2007 and 2012, but investigations into his earlier years turned up much more.
State Senator Eric Kearney's life is about to get busier. The Cincinnati 9th district Democrat has been officially introduced as gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald's running mate.
Supporters packed Crowley's in Mt. Adams waiting for the announcement and hung newly printed signs.
Kearney introduced his family and said, "Thank you so much, and Ed, I cannot thank you enough. This is really a great honor for me. I'm very excited and very enthusiastic."
Update 11/21/13 @ 5:20PM: Cincinnati mayor-elect John Cranley is not being swayed by the city administration's cost estimates to cancel the streetcar project.
"It doesn't cost $40 million to say stop," Cranley said Thursday during a press conference. "It doesn't take a year to get out of this madness. We're going to immediately put a halt to this project."
Cranley is still promising a Council vote the first week of December to temporarily stop the streetcar project.

Before-Prom dinner in Annapolis/Baltimore
My boyfriend and I want to go out to a fancy dinner [we'll be dressed in our prom clothes] in Annapolis or Baltimore, preferably by the water. We want someplace that serves both Seafood and American food, since we like different things.
Do you have any suggestions for us to look at?
Yellow Fin. But I have to disagree with Chownut (sorry) about Chart House, IMO they went down hill years ago. Maybe they've changed?
Chart House after Isabella was redone and has nice views from the bar area, but not as nice for the restuarant area which is in the back. No one said Carroll's Creek which is right beside Chart House and much better and has excellent waterfront views. And I think O'Leary's has the best seafood in Annapolis.

New Castle News
A West Side man is wanted on new charges for the alleged rape of a juvenile girl on various occasions.
New Castle police have charged Larry Cragle, 35, of 1223 Rebecca St. with one count of rape, two counts each of statutory sexual assault of a person 11 years or older, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse of a person less than 16 years of age, sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault of a person who is less than 16.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
He was arrested a year ago with his wife Michelle, 29, on similar charges for alleged incidents that occurred at their Rebecca Street home. Both are awaiting trial on those charges.
The new charges, filed yesterday, are for alleged rape and sexual assaults reported to have occurred between August 2011 and April 2012. The incidents were brought to the attention of New Castle police during a counseling session with the girl earlier this month at Lawrence County Children and Youth Services.
During a forensic interview, the girl described for police two times when Cragle allegedly raped her, and told them that another time that she was hog-tied on the bed and she passed out.

A 27-year-old Dacula man is facing robbery charges in connection with a September incident at a Buford home.
According to the Gwinnett County Police report, a Buford man walked into his 16-year-old daughter's room and found her "engaged in physical contact" with a nude Patrick Ahern, 27, of Dacula.
The father grabbed his daughter's cell phone and "tried to take a photograph of the incident," the officer wrote in the report. Ahern allegedly snatched the cell phone from the father's hand and fled, later throwing the phone into a wooded area. The phone was eventually recovered and returned to the owner.
An investigator interviewed all parties to the incident and determined there was probable cause to secure a warrant for robbery by sudden snatching against Ahern. The warrant was obtained on Oct. 25. Ahern was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail on Oct. 26 and released later that day on a $2,400 bond.

Roving robotics: Third annual Autonomous Vehicle Competition
SparkFun Electronics' 2011 autonomous vehicle event in Boulder offered DIY's of all ages a chance to showcase and test their mobile robotics on the group and in the air.
Roving robots--autonomous vehicles--on the ground and in the air, raced for glory last month, in a contest sponsored by a supplier of electronics components for aspiring do-it-yourself electronic enthusiasts of all ages.
In April 2011, SparkFun Electronics hosted the third annual Autonomous Vehicle Competition (AVC) - an event in which home-built autonomous ground and aerial vehicles square off in a no-holds-barred race around SparkFun's Boulder headquarters.
The event, now in its third year, invited entrants to SparkFun's home offices for a day of good-natured (yet also enjoyably cutthroat) robotics competition. Last year's AVC drew 20 teams and approximately 400 spectators. This year, the competition soared to new heights as the limit on the number of teams was lifted and over 40 squads entered to compete. In addition, the course had new obstacles added to increase its difficulty.
"Last year's race showed us that the event is evolving," said SparkFun Engineer Ryan Owens. "We wanted to step it up a notch and add a new degree of difficulty to the race. We are genuinely excited to see how people fare and can't wait to check out the new rigs for this year's AVC."
The AVC originally was held to encourage innovation in embedded electronics, but has quickly become SparkFun's signature event. Individuals have travelled from all over the country and world to compete and watch as competitors throw caution to the wind and put their electronics-laden vehicles to the test.
Competitors vie not only for the fastest lap, but also for other awards like Engineer's Choice (best design) and Kill Switch (most out of control robot).
A recap of AVC 2011 is available online.

Annual Salary Survey

In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Gigabyte P67A-UD4 review -
So guys meet one of the best looking P67 motherboards to date, the Gigabyte P67A-UD4 the third P67 chipset based motherboard along a long line of series 67 motherboards we have in queue for a review. See, one of the most talked about topics of technology this year will be Sandy Bridge from Intel and very likely Bulldozer processors from AMD. Intel however started the year fresh and launched a handful of these little Sandy bridge gems already. If you have not done so, please read our reference Core i5 2500K and Core i7 2600K review to get an update on the new processor architecture and the grand performance they deliver.
Of course with new processors also come new motherboard chipsets. For the consumer desktop side of the market you will basically see two Sandy Bridge based chipsets, H68 for the more generic, mainstream and HTPC usage, and then the P67 chipset as a performance part for the new motherboards series. Now each and every motherboard ODM jumped on P67 as well, it's just a heck of a lot of fun. And the ODMs had time to prep their P67 alright, most of the designs were already finished by late Summer 2010, everybody just needed to wait for Intel to release the processor that goes along with these motherboards.
That extra time was however not a bad thing, it gave more time to R&D departments to refine their designs and perhaps be a little more creative.
In today's article we'll show you a new offering from Gigabyte as we'll review their P67A-UD4 Sandy bridge ready motherboard. You'll notice a very impressive motherboard loaded with features and technologies, and a little extra as well.
Powered by Intel's P67 chipset, we'll review that stunning looking P67A-UD4 Sandy bridge ready motherboard. A motherboard that is using a 12+2 phases design cooled by passive grey heatsinks.
Some key features:
PCIe 2.0 graphic interfaces support both 2 way NVIDIA SLI and 2 way ATI CrossFireX
All New Matte Black PCB and Thermal Design
Supports 2 Power eSATA connectors for enhanced Storage flexibility
4 USB 3.0 ports with superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps
Extensive 12 phase power Design for CPU VRM
Support for dual channel DDR3 memory
8 SATA Ports with RAID (6 onboard, 2 rear)
Precision OV provides more precise voltage control for CPU, Chipset and memory
GIGABYTE DualBIOS Technology
Provides Marvell SE9128 and Intel P67 high speed SATA3 storage interface
Of course features like SATA 6G and USB 3 are available as well, and guess what, the board supports SLI and Crossfire, albeit in a x8:x8 configuration. There is a more to be found with three additional PCIe x1 slots and two traditional PCI slots.
We'll have a look at that as well of course. Have a peek at the board review from today and then head onwards to the next page, where we'll dive into a photo shoot of the Sandy Bridge ready motherboard.
In this review we take the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti WindForce for a spin. The card is obviously based on NVIDIAs MAxwell based GTX 750 Ti GPU. Gigabyte designed their own PCB, tweaked the card a h...

So small price, nice features and tweakability ? We just have to check that out. Oh and you'll get many USB 3.0 ports and of course an improved and enhanced audio solution (albeit that really is a software layer sitting on top of the Realtek ALC 898 codec). Be sure to check out this review.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, trying to close a $4.3-million deficit, is laying off scores of workers and closing headquarters operations that handle antiabortion activities and outreach ministries to college students, people with disabilities and gays and lesbians, officials confirmed Wednesday.
As recently as a month ago, church officials said they could close the deficit without layoffs.
The cuts come two weeks after the opening of the $189-million Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles. Critics of the cathedral have said for years that the cost of the building would harm other programs in the archdiocese.

Some consider golf a slow sport, perhaps even antiquated. But Golf Nation brings the traditional pastime into the modern age with the most contemporary technology and tools, including true-roll indoor putting and chipping greens. Golfers can also read up on the latest golf-training materials, perfect their game at true-roll indoor putting greens and multiple chipping short game areas; an indoor bunker area made of real sand ideal for green and fairway side shots; or they can venture outside for driving-range practice from heated bays.
With 25,000 square feet of space, Golf Nation also houses a fitness club stocked with quality cardio equipment and extra space for group yoga and spin classes. A café and lounge claims the remainder of the space, brimming with the aromas of healthy food and sound of convivial chatter.
Old Orchard Country Club came into existence in 1932, when the Wickersham family purchased the land and began to manicure it. Over the decades, the club became such a community staple that the Prospect Heights Park District bought it in 1999, with a promise to provide the same level of country-club service to the general public. The park district's landscapers maintain the golf course's gently rolling, narrow fairways, which shoot and snake between trees and numerous traps. The course features lots of dangerous water, with hazards between the golfer and the hole on at least nine occasions. The ninth hole—a par 5—bends right around the forest, only to reveal a longer stretch of fairway hemmed in by triple water hazards leading to an equally narrow green. The 17th hole also presents a challenge, with the fairway bisected by a wide river, making the safest shot a long drive straight to the green, which sits framed by a pair of sand bunkers.
Course at a Glance:
The 10 golf courses that comprise Forest Preserve Golf guide players on a tee-to-green tour of the greater Chicagoland area, offering an insightful glimpse into the city's culture and history. Burnham Woods, for example, takes its name from the legendary architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham, credited with designing the city's structural layout and its manmade river of mustard. The Chick Evans course is named after the first player to win both the US Open and US Amateur, who would later go on to found the popular Evans Scholarship for caddies. With each course densely forested, golfers walk among the area's natural wonders, as the Highland Woods course perches upon the highest point in Cook County and the Little Calumet River winds through the River Oaks course. With the exception of the 9-hole Billy Caldwell and Meadowlark courses, all are full-length 18-hole tracks.
Staffed by experienced golfing professionals and computers who've sworn allegiance to the three laws of golfing robotics, GolfTEC's motion sensors and high-speed cameras monitor swings and break down each individual's form on a high-definition video display. Sensors chirp with approval whenever they detect the perfect stroke or an especially witty golfing joke. GolfTEC's certified personal coaches will point out flaws and strengths while providing golfers with tips on how to permanently improve their game from tee to green.
Mature timbers and ponds surround the emerald corridors of Salt Creek Golf Club's executive course as the layout weaves across 3,985 yards of well-maintained terrain. Throughout the par 63 layout, nine par 3s nurture players' relationships with their mid- and short-irons, and nine par 4s—including a 381-yarder that measures as the course's longest hole—ensure that drivers and 3-woods don't file negligence suits. The course presents memorable shots in its scaled-down layout, such as the harrowing approach into an island green that awaits at the Blue Course's eighth hole. After the round, Golfers can retire to the Grill Room, serve savory sandwiches, burgers, and salads and pour sudsy libations. Guests can recap their rounds in the Grill Room's indoor diner with four TVs, enjoy breezes on the open-air patio.
Slice-prone swings and inconsistent putting strokes meet their demise at Green Valley Golf Range, where guests crush golf balls at an 80-station driving range and sends putts through a tricky mini-golf course. The range boasts towering lights and 20 covered, heated hitting stalls to furnish practice at night, during inclement weather, and through the eternal ice age of the future. The practice facility—which also encompasses a putting green, chipping area, and sand trap—replaces its golf balls every year, ensuring quality equipment for players' enjoyment. The practice facility also houses a virtual golf entertainment experience that allows golfers to play I-tee golf games in which they can compete on courses around the world.
A lighthouse, a pint-sized car, and other old-fashioned obstacles await players at the mini-golf course, a circuit best conquered with laser-like focus attained with the help of Green Valley's complimentary coffee. Clubbers can replenish energy stores zapped after a long day of practice or bench-pressing their driver with a soft-serve ice-cream cone, a slice of Rosati's pizza, or a hot dog, all of which are sold in the Green Valley Ice Cream Shoppe.

SAN FRANCISCO — Before either of them had changed out of their street clothes Wednesday morning, Washington Nationals closer Rafael Soriano tapped outfielder Bryce Harper on the shoulder and asked him if they could talk.
The two disappeared into a players-only area for several minutes and, when they emerged, both wanted to move past any controversy stirred by Soriano's comments late on Tuesday night.
SEE RELATED: Bryce Harper does it all as Nationals salvage road trip finale
The Nationals lost to the Giants in extra innings after San Francisco tied the game in the ninth on a triple by Gregor Blanco that went over Harper's head. Harper, who appeared to flinch, admitted he was concerned about another collision with the wall just eight days removed from his vicious crash into the right-field fence at Dodger Stadium.
Speaking in Spanish with a reporter from USA Today, Soriano said "If we're positioned the right way, there might have been a different outcome. With two outs, I could tell my 4-year-old son, 'You know where you need to play,' and he would go to the right spot to make the play."
Soriano said on Wednesday that he thought he was making a joke with the reporter and did not expect it to be conveyed the way it was. He was unaware of any controversy stemming from his comments until he received a phone call Wednesday morning, but he spoke with manager Davey Johnson and Harper in hopes of quashing the issue.
"I [didn't] really try to say that to make him look bad," Soriano said. "I talked to him and everything is fine. I talked to Davey and, you know, like I say, I'm not making excuses. To me, I think I have to make a better pitch. Today's a new day. Come back with a zero. Right now, the team, we're struggling. Like I said last night, we can play better games than we're playing right now.
"You know, before I talked to you guys I wanted to talk to him and, it's fine. The [reporter], I was joking. He asked me something, I said 'Yeah, my son, 4 years old, he can catch that ball. I said, he can catch that ball, he'd be in better position.' But that guy he put it in the paper like I'd be fighting with [Harper] or it was his fault. It's not his fault. I'm not that kind of guy."
Harper politely declined comment when asked about the meeting between the two players, saying only "He talked to me about it. It's all good." Asked about his positioning on the play, Harper said "I was playing where I was supposed to be. I have nothing to say about it."
First base coach Tony Tarasco, who positions the outfielders, spoke glowingly of Harper's ability in the outfield and spoke to the difficulty of playing right field at AT&T Park.
"It's difficult to tell in this park, because you're looking at the deepest part of this ballpark," Tarasco said. "You're looking at going from a very short side in right to extremely deep in right-center. The wall sort of shoots out. So a ball that hits track in right-center would have gone off the wall in the right field, and he would have played it off the wall. It's difficult to judge that.
"I think you got a mix of all three. You got the mix of what he's trying to overcome. You got the mix of the diagram of the park. You got things going the way they are. It's an unfortunate play, and we're not playing to the best of our ability right now."
Said Soriano: "When you've got two out, you have to play no-doubles. I know he's a little bit scared after what happened in L.A. and Atlanta, that's what I think when I see it. When I told you guys that last night, that's what I think. You know what? That's it. Game over. Come back today and we try to pitch better and he can make a better play."
Johnson did his best to nip any potential controversy in the bud on both ends and spoke with Soriano about the team's need for veteran leadership that he hoped Soriano could provide.
"I don't know what the big the deal is about it," Johnson said. "The comments I read in the paper, he was just voicing some frustrations a lot of us feel. Did he go too far? Maybe. People have to realize that we've got a very talented ball club, but we're still young and going through one of these trying-to-establish periods. A lot of times, people can expect too much. I love this team, and I know what we're capable of, and I know the issues that we're facing. The effort is outstanding. I don't fault anybody's effort. But it's also a learning experience."
Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo, apprised of Soriano's comments, lauded Harper for handling the situation well and taking responsibility for Tuesday night's play.
"It's not the first time that players have been frustrated and had issues with teammates," Rizzo said. "But we pride ourselves on this team to handle that stuff in-house. There's absolutely nothing wrong with players being frustrated and talking to their teammates and asking questions, but that stays in-house. That's taken one-on-one and man-to-man. That's how we handle our business here.
"I feel that Harp owned up to what he thought was a mistake and he was a professional and a mature professional player who took it on himself and I know that since then those two have discussed it. We've all addressed it and it's over with."
This is not the first time in his career that Soriano has gone through public issues with teammates. While he was with the Yankees, it was widely reported that he often kept to himself and it was well-publicized when he left without speaking with reporters following a game he had a hand in blowing, leaving his teammates to speak for him.
But he hasn't appeared to have any issues since joining the Nationals. Soriano often jokes with his teammates and engages with them. Before Tuesday's game, he was salsa dancing in the back corner of the clubhouse with many teammates watching in amusement.
The larger issue for the Nationals from Tuesday's game was Harper admitting that his collision with the wall in L.A. crossed his mind as he went to make that play.
On Wednesday, the Nationals said that was not only natural, but expected.
"I don't blame him for that. He's only human," Johnson said, adding that the best thing for Harper to do was to keep playing and not have too much of an issue made of it. "Are we making him out to be super-human? I would be afraid, too, if I had [11] stitches on my chin and bruises on my shoulder and my knee all puffed up. I'd be a little leery, not knowing the warning track. He's very competitive. He was probably cheating a little in from all the way back in the doubles situation, in a position to where he could throw the guy out at third. Probably thinking in the right vein, being aggressive, wanting to do something. I don't fault him for that. It's part of it."
Added Rizzo: "It's not troubling at all to me. It's human nature and any outfielder who says, after a collision with the wall, that he's going back on the ball not thinking about the wall, I don't think he's being truthful. I think it's human nature. I think he'll get over it, if he's not over it already, and he's going to be a terrific defensive outfielder. He's already a good defensive outfielder and just learning the position."

The Off-Campus Dining is very good and has a large variety of places to go with good student discounts.

Off campus there are a lot of fast food and some local places. The place that people would say has the best food would be the smoking pig which has good BBQ but its not super close. Downtown Clemson has chain restaurants as well as a few local places and bars. There is a road near Clemson that pretty much has every fast food restaurant you could imagine.
Off-Campus Dining:
We had a running joke that if there was a new place coming it would be a sandwich place. We had 9 sandwich places to choose from, but other than that you were out of luck. There are 2 Chinese places, 1 semi- Italian place, and about 2 Mexican places. Aside from that there are only sandwich places and bars.
Off-Campus Dining:
everything is so close to campus and walking distance and there are plenty of choices for food.

Written by Sarah Camille Hipp
With all the options off-campus, it's a wonder that students eat in the dining halls at all. Students have a hard time naming a favorite restaurant because there are so many good choices-it may take year just to try each one once. Students say the locally-owned restaurants are their favorite, but there are also larger chain restaurants within close range.
It would be really hard to go hungry at Clemson with all the great off-campus choices. Even if you don't have access to a car, there are a lot of good places within walking distance. The area offers something for every one of the 20,000 people at the University, just bring your appetite.

Erik Kain, Contributor
I write about video games: the industry and the culture.
Yesterday I posted a video of a Mass Effect 3 fan who hacked the original ME3 disc to unlock a hidden character only available by purchasing the day-one DLC.
EA and BioWare have both claimed previously that the DLC was worked on after the rest of the game was finished. Unlocking the character made this claim ring false.
Associate Producer Michael Gamble responded to the video by writing:
ME3 was a labour of love for the dev team. To finish a game like ME3, it literally takes months of intense bug fixing and certification. At this point, our goal is to polish the game to an extremely high quality – not to add extra content. You hopefully see a lot of that polish in ME3.
During that certification time, we had a small team of developers begin to craft the 'From Ashes' content, with the intent to finish production on it long after ME3 was out of our hands as a dev team.
However, because the plot of ME3 is so richly interwoven with the character interactions and moments, you simply cannot use a DLC module to 'insert' a new character. As we've mentioned before, that character has to be planned and the framework has to be established ahead of time for us to build off of with the DLC module. You may have seen a similar framework developed in ME2 for the Zaeed and Kasumi characters. We wanted Javik to be a fully featured squad member, with deep dialogue throughout the game – and we needed him to be accessible via the character selection GUI (which you cannot simply 'overwrite' with DLC). Thus, certain elements of the Javik appearance and some of the VO needed to be included on the disc. That is a fact. But that doesn't mean the content was created, and then removed. It is a necessity of adding a rich character presence in our game.
That, however, is the extent of it. As mentioned above, the DLC is over 600 mb. The DLC data holds the mission itself, the cinematic flashback moments, the cinematic dialogue interactions with Javik, his weapon, the appearances for squad members… everything that makes the adventure a cohesive experience. 'From Ashes' is not Javik's character model. It is the story of finding the last remaining Prothean, and how his tale interweaves with Commander Shepard's as he struggles to destroy the Reaper threat.
In a statement to Game Informer, EA added:
"From Ashes is a 600 MB+ download with all new content, including the mission on Eden Prime, new dialogue options and conversations with Javik, new cinematics, the Prothean weapon, and new appearances for all squad members. All of the above content was completed while the main game was in certification and are not available on the disc.
"As stated previously, in order to seamlessly integrate Javik into the core campaign, certain framework elements and character models needed to be put on disc. We did something similar with Zaeed and Kasumi in Mass Effect 2."
I have no reason to doubt either Gamble or EA. As I said in an update to my post yesterday, there was no indication in the video that anything other than this character was on-disc. I don't think that BioWare is lying, as many have claimed, and I see it as somewhat beside the point. (You may disagree, but again – I think it's mostly irrelevant.)
Let's take a step back and see if we can summarize what's been going on, what the problem is, and maybe a way forward.
The Story So Far
1. Anger at BioWare has been heating up ever since the EA acquisition. Fans began to see a change in not just the quality of the games being produced, but in the new company culture and attitude toward gamers. This led to an unfortunate episode of anger and vitriol directed at one of BioWare's writers, Jennifer Hepler, who became something of an avatar of resentment for angry fans.
2. The release of Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2 both disappointed and upset fans. Both games appeared to have strayed from their origins – especially Dragon Age 2. Complaints over the writing and changes in gameplay were myriad. Some of Hepler's comments about not liking to actually play games made fans worry that BioWare's games were going to become more like interactive movies rather than complex role-playing games.
3. The release of Star Wars: The Old Republic was seen as a disaster by many fans. The game had performance issues and was widely seen as having too many long cut-scenes, sub-par voice acting and writing, and nothing particularly unique to differentiate it from other MMORPGs. Anger continued to build.
4. With the release of Mass Effect 3 that bubbling anger reached a tipping point. The ending angered fans more than anything, though other numerous complaints also rose to the surface:
The inclusion of day-one DLC which made the game playable in full only at an extra cost; the presence of a "story mode" that stripped out even more gameplay; perceptions that the writing was once again sub-par; the inability to port over Shepard's face from earlier games; and the belief that fans were being ignored by the gaming media and the developers themselves.
And that's where we find ourselves today.
Now a few thoughts on the past few days since Mass Effect 3 hit shelves.
Context Is King
As a relative newcomer to the games of BioWare, I didn't understand the anger at first – at all – and when I saw some homophobic comments left at site's like Metacritic, I believed that the backlash was a coordinated homophobic attack on the game. Anti-gay groups have done things like this before. This opinion was born out of a lack of context.
As commenters angrily responded to that piece, I did some more digging.
This led me toward a more comprehensive understanding of the issues. And while I still find the quick reaction on Metacritic problematic (it gives off the impression of spamming and lends credence to the claims of homophobia) and the Hepler incident a serious low-point for fans, I now think I understand more completely why so many people are upset. Largely it's the result of feeling ignored. The ending of the game angered many long time fans more than anything, but the confluence of the unsatisfying ending plus all the other issues made that disappointment fester.
I don't believe that BioWare was lying about the DLC being included on the disc. I have no reason to not believe Gamble or EA on this question. I take them at their word.
Nevertheless, I think they badly misunderstand how this sort of thing is perceived by fans. Even if they did need to include the Prothean character on disc, and offer the rest via download, what they fail to understand is that charging people for an extra mission that takes place during the main storyline and contains lore that many fans deem essential to the narrative and choices their Shepard needs to make, is going to be seen as a ripoff. This impression will exist whether or not the DLC was on-disc or not.
It's also hard to believe that this side mission was only thought of after the fact. Whether or not this is true, it's a very difficult pill to swallow. Truth is important, but when it comes to running a business the perception of what's true and what's false is just as important. Sometimes more so.
Indeed. Very, very well said Kain. I hope to read more from you.
One more thing. I am happy that EA/Bioware finally addressed it's customers and explained itself. The sad thing is that the dialogue between the developer/publisher and the fans wasn't there in the first place.
And it took this much anger to finally get some response.
But the underlying point is still there, they lied. Framework this, rich story that, but they still said that it wasn't on the disk. That was a lie, plain and simple. All the pretty words don't change that. Combine this with everything else that's happened recently and I can't imagine there's still trust with EAware.
To be honest it is probably likely that whomever originally said the content was not on the disk did not actually know whether it was.
I don't think it was a straight out lie.
The problem is that most of the producers/marketing folk on a game don't actually know how how the content is structured. They probably did not realize how much pre-work had to go in to accommodate this DLC.
I ran into this sort of issue in the past while working on games and it doesn't surprise me. But in the end I think this is just a mistake, not intentional misleading of the consumer.
I'd be willing to believe that, but based on previous Bioware antics, it's hard to swallow. Still, it's a possibility, one that will probably be used. Not necessarily fact, but used.
OMG are you THE Brent Knowles???? (Technical Lead Designer of Baldur's Gate and Lead Designer of Dragon Age: Origins?)
If so – please come back to the gaming industry. RPG-ers need you!
P.S. Seriously, I hope your books are selling well and your life as a writer is all you'd hoped it would be.
Yep, its me :)
Thanks for the kind words.

First Erik, may I say that it was big of you to admit that your first piece had not gotten to the core issues, and that you had not looked into things beyond the trolls on Metacritic. Most would have left it as is, but you took the time to reapproach the subject matter from a newly gained perspective.
I am one of those firmly entrenched in the "it's all an indoctrination attempt" camp, and if that is the case it will be fantastic, but I weep at the thoughtless manner in which they executed this plan. At this point there is no way for BioWare to come out of this unscathed. I agree the best thing they can do is continue things through free dlc, which perhaps was even the plan all along, but thanks to the way things have been left with little to no comment from their staff, many in the community will only think of it as a "We messed up bad, but we're going to spin it as if we did it all on purpose" kind of thing. Unfortunately I doubt we can ever know the truth of the matter, discounting the possibility that they just come out saying "We're sorry you feel this way, but that's the ending you get", which would be kind of obvious.
I think where the problem in much of the critics eyes towards fans is they only see us complaining, and assume we want a sugar plum fairy ending. For most nothing could be further from the truth. I expected my Shephard to likely sacrifice himself. What we do want is the endings to make any sort of sense in relation to the 5 years of gaming previously put into this series. We want choices that are different. We want Shephard to be Shephard, because as it stands the last 15-20 minutes of the game, we suddenly are playing some blanched, spineless twit, who just accepts what he's told, and plays along. That's not my Shephard, it's not anyone's Shephard. It's everything the Mass Effect series was NOT. And then to boot the last "choice" (I'm trying really hard not to include anything substantial in the way of spoilers here) has a drastic effect that completely discredits and ruins the franchise forever. And again, most feel that their Shephard would NEVER make this decision. Now there are HUGE threads on Bioware Social Network about how much of this plays into the indoctrination attempt theory, but I worry that if this what they had planned, people will not give them long enough to implement it. Mike Gamble's only major response on Twitter was "if you knew what we had planned, well you'd hold on to your copies forever". But unfortunately, some are going to not believe him and trade in what they feel is worthless plastic now. I for one thought ME3 was the greatest game I had ever played until I got to the end. Now I can't even touch my Xbox to play ANY game, it just makes me so damn depressed. I have three wonderful games that I can't think of playing because of how it currently ends. That's not a good feeling at all. I understand that BioWare doesn't want to comment until a significant portion of players from non-NA markets get a chance to beat the game, but if they don't say something more official soon, it's going to be too late.
I, and most of the games fans do not condone the actions of a few trollish characters who have attacked BioWare employees. But we are resolute in making them understand that this is a PR nightmare, they've made a TERRIBLE mistake, be it intentional to shock us with a real ending later, or because they think their ending is more artistic; whatever the case may be.
Thanks, Jay

Lawyers in a lawsuit brought by owners of property damaged by sewer sludge have set the stage for a battle over fees and costs.
Post-trial motions exposed the dispute, which involves a proposed order for judgment filed on behalf of the plaintiffs. Defense lawyers argue that the proposed order "erroneously" describes and characterizes the rulings and verdicts entered after the weeklong October trial.
The lawsuit was filed in 2010 by Thomas and Faustina Greuel, Marvin and Teresa Holdridge, and Joe and Brenda Flusche, all of whom own property near a site where the sludge had been applied. Heavy rains that fell in September 2010 washed the regulated wastes from the application site across adjacent properties.
Jurors rendered a $228,000 verdict against Sludge Technology Inc. in favor of claims presented by the Greuels and Holdridges. Sludge Technology Inc., a local company, transports and disposes of sewer sludge generated at wastewater treatment plants in Muskogee and other municipalities.
The presiding judge entered directed verdicts in favor of defendants Dan and Cheryl Leatherman and the city of Muskogee. A directed verdict is issued when a judge determines that insufficient evidence was presented to support a plaintiff's claims. Jurors ruled in favor of defendants Tonto Construction and Larry Leatherman.
Since the trial ended Oct. 23, lawyers have been wrangling over the language of a proposed order.
A Tulsa lawyer, Jason Aamodt, who represented the property owners, said in a motion asking the court to settle the dispute that he had addressed two of three concerns expressed by defense lawyers. Those concerns, Aamodt states, include a desire to preserve all objections made at trial and establish the prevailing parties for the purpose of apportioning attorney fees and costs.
The third concern, Aamodt states, involves a demand to summarize "the entire trial proceedings" in the final order. Aamodt argues that such a fact-intensive summary is unnecessary, but he revised his proposed order to accomm-
odate defendants' concerns regarding the other issues.
Lawyers who represented Sludge Technology Inc., Tonto Construction, the Leathermans and the city argue "a more detailed summary of the proceedings ... is both warranted and reasonable."
Steve Metcalf, one of two lawyers for the companies, their principals, and the individual defendants, argues in his response to Aamodt's motion that the proposed order omits critical language. The plaintiffs' proposed order, Metcalf argues, omits the language "because there is a significant dispute" with regard to which parties are entitled to an award for attorneys' fees.
Sewer sludge is a byproduct of the wastewater treatment process, the disposal of which is regulated by permit. It consists of solids from which wastewater has been removed, treated and reintroduced into nature.
A study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found that biosolids from wastewater treatment contained metals, pharmaceuticals, semivolatile organic materials, antibiotics, hormones, steroids and other pollutants.

Diner Reviews
We were hoping for a lot more.
The service was good in the sense that they were friendly and attentive but they forgot one of the dishes we ordered. We both had fish (different kinds) and both preparations were very over cooked and dry. We expected more and were underwhelmed."

Went to barking frog for
breakfast. Had reservations but were told no room outside. Then we were put at a table for 6 even though there were only 6 of us and even though there was a table for 4 close by. Our friends were vegan and menu was not conducive to vegan or vegetarian. Waitress seemed put out by having to adjust orders to be vegan and vegetarian even though it mainly just required leaving some ingredients out. Took a LONG time to get order. Price $74.00 for 4 people (no alcohol). Unhappy customer"

We came here for our sixth year
wedding anniversary. Our waitress was awful rushed us through the entire dinner and didn't explain anything on the menu. I tried to ask her several questions about the entrees but she did not describe the dishes and was not helpful.my husband had the beef tenderloin and loved it. I had the halibut the meat was delicious but was served on top of a broth that was not good and took away from the fish. We had the shrimp appetizer and that was delicious. Basically I think it is a good restaurant we were just unlucky to have a bad waitress. With drinks an appetizer, salad and entrees we were in and out in and hour 15 minutes and that was after I pushed her away twice saying we were not ready to order."

Stayed at Willows Lodge and had
late dinner at Barking Frog. Fun restaurant and nice ambiance. As you would expect they have a large wine list with many Washington state wines. Service was very good. Food menu was a little light on variety/choices and main courses were not that interesting. Pork chop was very average. Brunch the next morning was better."
Dined on 7/25/2014
Sorry, but this restaurant is way
over rated. Waited at least 10 minutes for our waiter to acknowledge us after we first sat down, and the place was barely busy. Somewhat limited menu. Tried 4 or 5 different items, none of which I would recommend. Don't waste your money on the $50 steak - totally not worth it. You would expect a lot more for these prices. No, definitely not going back..."

Went for a birthday. Sat for
awhile before anyone came to out table. Had to ask for bread like 5x. Server was nice but barely came around. Took a long time. Food was good, but not for the prices. Not impressed like I thought we would be based on others reviews."

The service, ambience and

Pleasant resturaunt with a
significant wine list. They has some interesting dishes, including a wonderful soft shell crab and pork belly on the night we went. The steak dishes were outstanding. The outdoor ambience and service were adequate, but lacking in some small touches."
Dined on 7/17/2014
The fish and chips for lunch is
tuna. Without thinking, when asked, I requested it be cooked medium-well. Tuna, ofcourse, is meant to be served rare or medium rare. It was way too dry. Aside from this snafu on my part, the rest of the lunch was perfect. We especially liked the curried-mussel and kalamensi dessert."
Dined on 7/16/2014
Good food. Restaurant was loud
even though it wasn't full. Outside seating was packed. The table for two inside was too long and with ambient noise level it was hard to have an intimate conversation. The server was friendly but not real attentive. They did get slammed and it looks like they may have been understaffed."
Dined on 7/14/2014
We chose Barking Frog to celebrate
my father's 85th birthday. As with many people that age, my mother and father both suffer from hearing loss that makes it particularly difficult for them to follow a conversation with heavy background noise. Recognizing this, we called ahead to request outdoor seating, so avoid some of the background noise. For whatever reason, the person taking the call seemed incapable of understanding the problem. Just before we arrived, the last outside table had been given away, and we wound up seated at a VERY noisy table next to the kitchen. This ruined what otherwise would have been a very pleasant evening. For the prices they charge, Barking Frog should have provided much better service."

We had a group of 10. Everyone
loved their food. Our wait staff were friendly and helpful."
Dined on 7/13/2014
Food featured interesting, even
adventurous combinations but was bland and not well executed, especially for the price. Service was hot and cold, as if the wait staff needed more training. Have eaten here in the past and was impressed. Not this time. Restaurant seems to be relying on its beautiful location and its wine list and no longer applying much rigor to its main mission."
Dined on 7/13/2014
This is a new fave for my husband
and I. Too bad it is almost 3 hours away from "home" but well worth the trip. We'll sure be doing more visits back here - for the prawns are addictive. Loved dining outdoors seated next to the "pond" with the glass first nations fish. And grapes on a vine hanging overhead! So romantic. And after a day of wine tasting we didnt' think we could try another, but their wine list was too tempting and we both chose a glass that was best of the day. And thanks to the staff for my birthday card. A special touch. As I said, we'll be back!"

My sincere compliments for the
food, service and overall experience at the Barking Frog. We dined here following a bicycle wine tasting tour, coupled with our stay at the Willow's Lodge for our Anniversary. Each course was expertly done to both our likings. From the Lobster Beignets to our Beet Salads and the mail dishes of Duck Breast & Tenderloin and finally Mascarpone Ice Cream and Chocolate dessert (#3 & 4 on the menu) every bite was savored. We truly think that attentive service plays a big part in the experience and Mike was spot on. We were never rushed as to enjoy each bite at our leisure and each course delivery was perfectly timed. Mike's recommendations & demeanor contributed greatly to this wonderful evening."

Had a great lunch in between wine
tastings in Woodinville. Service was excellent and the food came out just right. Sat on the patio close to the fountain. Great spot."
Dined on 7/4/2014
My first time & food was great,
but my only fault was i did not leave a big enough tip as the total meal for two was $225.00 & that was way over my budget. Was a special treat for me so my apologies to the server for not leaving more :))"

Barking Frog is one of the best
redstaurants in the Woodinville (suburban Seattle) area. The food is creative, varied, served well and absolutely fabulous. The service level is impeccable. The wine list is dominated by fabulous Washington wines. We try to eat there once a month."

Dined on 7/1/2014
Barking Frog is a great spot for
an upscale lunch. The prices are no more than double what I pay for lunch at very run-of-the-mill restaurants, but the food is some of the best I've had anywhere. That makes Barking Frog a fantastic value, in my opinion. The decor is modern and comfortable, the patio is great on a summer day, and the food and service are top notch."
Dined on 7/1/2014
My sister and I wanted to try
Barking Frog while in the Woodinville area, so made lunch reservations. What a find! We selected the Roasted Organic Chicken Salad and the Ninety Farms Beef Burger. The salad was fresh and tasty and the burger was perfection - cooked just right, juicy and delicious. Service is outstanding. We were seated outside near the fountain and thoroughly enjoyed the experience."
Dined on 6/30/2014
Great good, good service! I had
the crab benedict with a mimosa and my friend had a breakfast burrito. We were seated promptly and assorted breads with water right away. The server was very busy, but one of her partners took our drink order right away. Restaurant was full and therefore loud. I did not realize how small it was in size, but was able to hold a conversation. Food was good, arrived in a moderate time. Service was attentive. Enjoyable experience... better when some of the large parties left. Good for a celebratory dinning experience!"

My husband and I celebrated our
16th Wedding Anniversary here and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was inviting and our server Kristen was very attentive. We will retun again. The food was exceptional as well as the presentation. The only down side was the noice level."
Dined on 6/27/2014
Fortunately, we were in no hurry
to eat, as it took over an hour for us to be seated despite having reservations. The manager was genuinely apologetic for the situation and comped us a couple of horderves. The horderves were certainly the highlight of our meal. Our entrees on the other hand, were a big disappointment. The menu is surprisingly sparse, and my wife ordered duck, in the absence of any sort of chicken selection. The duck was tough, and virtually uneatable. My scallop dish was okay, however, the accompanying couscous medley was far too complex and overpowering. With so many excellent restaurant choices in the world, it's safe to say, we will not be returning to the Barking Frog."
Dined on 6/27/2014
My wife, one of her friends and I
enjoyed a birthday dinner at the Barking Frog. We've been there a handful of times over the years and always enjoyed it. And true to form, the food was fantastic - we share the prawn appetizer - always a favorite, as well as the duck special (my favorite), the salmon and the ahi tuna. All three had unique preparations with the main course that enhanced the meal itself. The only problem this evening was the noise level in the restaurant. I hadn't noticed it being a problem before but this night, we felt we were almost yelling at each other to keep the conversation going....with the summer season approach and the patio doors opening, I feel certain this issue will go away."

We decided to try The Barking Frog
for our anniversary. Everything we had was nothing short of amazing. We shared the prawns which were delicious!! And I got the halibut which was the best halibut I've ever had. Seriously so good. My husband had the scallops which he said were fantastic. We sat outside in a beautiful night. Overall a great experience. They even have us an anniversary card with all their signatures on it. So nice. Will definitely go back."

We traveled from Poulsbo,
Washington to celebrate our 24th anniversary by having lunch at the Barking Frog. The restaurant had been highly recommended to us by friends. After strolling the grounds and enjoying the beautiful raised bed vegetable garden, we had a fabulous lunch including dessert. The food and experience were memorable. We are so glad our friends knew of this great destination in wine country. To complete the day, we took a long walk along the Samammish River Trail which one of the staff recommended to us and was very nearby. All in all, a great experience."
Dined on 6/24/2014
The experience was very
disappointing from entering the restaurant to the moment we left. The ambience is nothing special- average at best. The tables are tiny and very close to each other with no table cloth. We waited a long time for a waiter to come. The mussels appetizer was good and the best of all the meals we ordered. Enough to share for 2. I ordered side of french fries that were forgotten, they came late and taken off the check, but still not what you expect from an expensive restaurant. The service was a bare minimum. I order scallops for $32 and literary got 3 scallops. The rabbit my husband ordered was very bland. Do not waist your money! No atmosphere, bad service, not a romantic and the food may be good but not worth the $."
Dined on 6/21/2014
I was super excited to eat brunch
here for a girls day out. I made a reservation, but still had to wait 15 minutes to be seated and was also asked a couple times if we were waiting for a table. I was confused since I had just spoken to her and it wasn't even busy. Our server was nice, the food pretty good, but we were there 2.5 hours from start to finish just because everything took forever. It was a beautiful day out and not in any big hurry, but there about an hour too long since we had wineries to visit! So, I would maybe dine there again if I really didn't care how long it took, but not anytime soon."
Dined on 6/21/2014
This was my 1st time at The
Barking Frog we will definitely back. Everything the waitress, food, staff, Atmosphere was in my book worth the drive from Gig Harbor. Not only was our experience awesome the waitress overheard me tell my husband how much I loved the bread and sundried tomato w/ capers spread and she had a plate sent to our room at the Willows Lodge next door with a card telling it was her treat after our concert we had gone to."

A "Sign" of the Times?
This is the first year I have placed a political sign in my yard. In the process, I have also given signs to friends who have asked and placed a few in public areas where allowed.
To date, 17 signs have been taken down and here's why that makes me happy:
1. It tells me that the candidate I support must be making an impact…otherwise, why would people take his sign down? His success appears to be a source of concern for those supporting the other candidate. Still, I'd prefer it they would not take down signs. They could put up more signs supporting their candidate instead.
2. It gives me an opportunity to have meaningful conversations with my children about the political process, freedom of speech and the nature of people. While we have those conversations regardless, these incidents lend themselves to time appropriate discussions. My kids ask: Why did somebody take the sign down? Who took the sign down? Did they take signs down for other candidates? Does this mean they hate the candidate you support? Do the people who did that not like us?
3. While it doesn't make me happy, it reminds me that people will break the law and trespass to show their disapproval as they do so when they walk on private property and when they steal.
4. For every sign that is taken, a new one goes up in the same spot and motivates me to share extra signs with others.
5. This behavior reminds me (unfortunately) how some people from a party espousing kindness, supportiveness and fairness can sometimes be mean-spirited, uncaring , dishonest and disrespectful…especially of views that are contrary to their own. (This behavior ironically runs counter to the inclusiveness they supposedly value.)
6. A friend of mine who also had signs taken down now places a small sticker on his sign that state: "If you take this sign down, I will make a $20 donation to this candidate and put another sign up." My friend has made several donations.
7. I am not naive and I do realize that elections can be vicious and mean-spirited. Some candidates and supporters act out in inappropriate and disrespectful ways. I just didn't expect it from neighbors in my community. Notice I have not named which candidate I support? You can guess, but it doesn't matter.

Fat Transfer (Liposculpture)
Fat Transfer: Option for'Natural' Body Sculpting of the Breast, Face, Buttocks and Hands
Natural fat transfer are enhancements to the face, breast, buttocks and the hands by transferring fat from the abdomen, thighs or waist.
Fat transfer technologies have made the fat transfer process safer, gentler and much more effective than ever before. Immediate results with ongoing improvments over several months.
Dr. Sofer can remove unwanted fat from problem areas and then transplant that same fat into the spots where you would rather have it. It softens the appearance of a implant after breast reconstruction, fills in facial contours, round out or adds volume to your buttocks or adds volume for a more youthful-looking hands. Every one of these fat transfer options can utilize a patient's very own natural filler–their own fat! Fat transfer technologies are safer and more effective than ever before.
Natural Fat Implants for the Face
Harvesting fat from one area of the body and placing it into another area is known as Natural Fat Transfer or Natural Fat Grafting. Dr. Sofer uses Water or Body- Jet Liposuction in essence because it allows a "purer" fat that is ideally favored to be transferred.
Common areas of the face where natural filler can be used includes: the nasolabial folds (the deep folds on either side of the nose and mouth), the cheeks and cheek hollows, the lips and shallow lines around the lips. Natural fat can also be used to augment irregularities in the face, such as icepick acne scarring or to fill a dent running across the bridge of the nose.
Natural fat transfer is ideal for both women and men, and creates a softer, more youthful and energetic appearance.
Natural Breast Reconstruction with Fat Transfer
Cosmetic Surgeon, Alfred Sofer, M.D., F.A.C.S., offer breast reconstruction with implant and fat transfer to soften the look of your implant or fat transfer after mastectomy or lumpectomy to soften the area effected, by utilizing a patient's own harvested fat. The fat from the harvested areas is removed in a manner which screens, purifies and fortifies the harvested cells, greatly improving the chances of successful transplantation and favorable, long-lasting results.
How Much Enhancement Can be Done with Natural Fat Transfer?
One cup size at most is suggested, but the actual amount of breast enlargement will be at the doctor's discretion (you will consult with the Dr. Sofer prior to any treatments). The amount of fat available which can be injected will depend upon how much fat is harvested. Fat transfer is also especially beneficial to increase the size of one breast which is slightly smaller than the other, or to improve dimpling or other structural irregularities. If you have excess fat available after your breast enhancement procedure, there may be other body areas that can also utilize this natural fat.
The Natural Buttocks 'Butt-Lift' that Uses Your Own Fat
Perhaps you have heard of the 'Brazilian Butt Lift' procedure– Natural fat transfer procedure gives a very 'natural' looking result, which doesn't utilize foreign implant material, but instead uses your very own body fat, harvested from other body areas, fortified, and then transplanted by micro injections into the areas where you could use a little extra volume.
How is the Natural Fat Buttocks Enhancement Procedure Performed?
Tumescent IV sedation is generally considered to be one of the safest, and most comfortable sedation methods, and is one that is used for many of our surgical procedures. The fat from these 'donor' areas is filtered, condensed, purified and fortified in a process that helps it to 'take' well in the transplanted areas. The liposuction and fat preparation methods used preserve the integrity of the fat cells, creating a very favorable grafting material (from your own fat) using Water or Body-Jet Lipsuction. This freshly-created mixture is then immediately injected into the desired areas using tiny injections. Injecting your own purified fat back into the body through micro-injections offers a much lower risk of infection or tissue rejection than introducing a foreign inplant material into the body. The amount of fat that can be re-injected (after condensing, purifying and fortifying) will depend upon the amount of fat that can be removed in the initial lipolysis procedure.
The recovery time for fat transfer varies from patient to patient, depending upon the body areas involved and complexity of the fat harvesting procedures used. Most patients are up and around within a day a few days and back to their routines. Some swelling, bruising, post-surgical discomfort is normal and expected.
To discuss your options, schedule a consultation with Dr. Alfred Sofer.

gotta love the tongue
HANFORD, Calif. -- A 1.8-pound mutt who won the "World's Ugliest Dog" title last year died in her sleep Saturday.
Yoda, a 15-year-old Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix, won $1,000 after beating 29 other canine contestants at the competition in Yoda., last year.
Owner Terry Devine Schumacher, whose daughter found the dog in a field when she was two, said she would miss Yoda's "funny little ways."
She told the Hanford Sentinel she was "comforted knowing she will be joining my mom and dad, who loved her so much. Her memories will live on forever."
