Q2S Terms & Glossary
Your assigned academic advisor will assist you in selecting courses, setting timelines, and completing the required documents for the quarters to semesters transition. This person will help you plan your courses and assist you throughout the transition.
Course Sequence
Two or three courses that are intended to be taken consecutively in order to fulfill degree/program requirements. These courses are meant to be taken in a particular order, as earlier courses are generally pre-requisites for courses later in the sequence. Example: Spanish 111, 112, 113. Course sequences should be completed before transition to semesters or begun after conversion to semesters.
Credit Conversion
The conversion of quarter credits to semester credits. To convert quarter hours to semester hours, multiply credit hours by two-thirds. For example if you have earned 45 quarter hours, they will convert to 30 semester hours. If it took 192 quarter hours to earn a Bachelor's degree at OU, then after conversion you would need to earn 128 semester hours. A 4 credit class would convert to 2.67 semester hours, but the 2.67 would be rounded up to 3 semester hours. The student's g.p.a. would not be affected by the conversion of credits.
Credit Conversion Table
Table or chart which shows the conversion from quarter hours to semester hours.
Credit Hour
One semester credit hour will be awarded for a minimum of 750 minutes of formalized instruction during an academic session.
Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS)
DARS analyzes degree requirements for a major/minor/certificate according to the catalog year in which the student entered the program. DARS reports are the results of the analysis.
Quarter System
The quarter system divides the academic year into four enrollment periods (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer) of about 10 weeks of instruction each. OU will cease using the quarter system in summer 2012.
Semester Credit Hour
One semester credit hour will be awarded for a minimum of 750 minutes of formalized instruction during an academic term. Typically, students should work out of class on assignments for an average of two hours for every 50 minutes of formalized instruction.
Semester System
The semester system divides the academic year into three main enrollment periods (Fall, Spring and Summer) of about 14 weeks of instruction each.
Transition DARS
DARS which reflects both quarter and semester coursework for transition student's degree completion requirements. A semester-based DARS will be developed that express the program requirements of transition students.
Transition Degree Completion Plan (TDCP)
Individualized plan for transition students completing their degree in semesters. This document will allow for the advisor and student to plan the remaining required quarter and semester courses needed to complete the degree. This plan will be signed by the student, academic advisor, College official and placed into the student's academic record.
Transition student
A student who enrolled on the quarter system and who will continue her or his studies and graduate on the semester system.
University System of Ohio
The public institutions of higher education in Ohio, which includes 14 universities and 23 community colleges. The purpose of the University System of Ohio (USO) is to provide high quality, affordable education to meet Ohioans' varied needs. The USO is governed by the Ohio Board of Regents.

The AICPA generally supports the Securities and Exchange Commission's Proposed Rules as a means to strengthen investor protections in the municipal securities market. The AICPA also believes that the establishment of a permanent registration regime with the SEC for municipal advisors, including the imposition of certain record-keeping requirements, will further the goals of accountability and transparency in the financial system. The Institute is concerned, however, that the broad definition in the Proposed Rules of "municipal advisor" will encompass accountants who are performing "customary and usual" services incidental to, or inextricably linked to, the practice of accountancy and should not be subject to required registration. Background Section 975 of the Dodd-Frank Act amended Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to, among other things, make it unlawful for municipal advisors to provide certain advice to, or solicit, municipal entities or certain other persons without registering with the SEC. The SEC believes that the preparation and audit of financial statements or the issuance of letters for underwriters by accountants would not constitute the provision of advice within the meaning of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, in its rulemaking, the SEC proposes to exclude from the definition of a "municipal advisor" accountants preparing financial statements, auditing financial statements, or issuing letters for underwriters for, or on behalf of, a municipal entity or obligated person. The AICPA also believes that requiring registration for accounting services was not the intended result of the Dodd-Frank Act. There is already substantial and appropriate regulation of the accounting profession at the state and federal level. Therefore, in its comment letter on the SEC's proposed rule, the AICPA recommended that accountants performing customary and usual accounting services, including accounting, tax, advisory, or other services, including audit and attestation services, where those services are subject to the regulatory authority of a State Board of accountancy or a Federal authority, be exempted from the requirements. Regulatory Action The SEC proposed new rules 15Ba1-1 through 15Ba1-7and related forms under the Securities Exchange Act, as published in Release No. 34-63576, File Number S7-45-10, Registration of Municipal Advisors. Several Members of the House and Senate have met with SEC staff to advocate for a rule that would be similar in applicability to the bills, H.R. 2827 and S. 3620, both which are discussed below. The comment period has closed, and the SEC is currently working on a Final Rule. Legislative Action 112th Congress Congressman Robert Dold, an Illinois Republican, introduced H.R. 2827 in August 2011, defining the municipal advisors which will be subject to SEC registration and contains certain exemptions from registration. A hearing was held in July 2012 in the Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises of the House Committee on Financial Services. The AICPA submitted a letter to the Committee in advance of the July Subcommittee hearing supporting H.R. 2827, conditioned on the exemptions being expanded to include CPAs doing customary and usual accounting services. The bill was marked up in the Subcommittee in August 2012 and was favorably reported to the full Committee. In September 2012, the House Financial Services Committee marked-up and favorably reported the bill with a vote of 60-0. The AICPA sent a letter in support of the bill to the members of the House Financial Services Committee. At the full committee mark-up, Congressman Dold offered a substitute bill that defined municipal advisors without including CPAs who perform customary and usual accounting services. Gwen Moore, a Wisconsin Democrat, took the lead in negotiating the compromise substitute bill for the Democrats, making this a truly bipartisan bill. The bill overwhelmingly passed the House on a voice vote in September 2012. In September 2012, Senator Roger Wicker, a Mississippi Republican, introduced S. 3620, a companion bill to H.R. 2827. The Senate did not take action on the bill during 2012, therefore, new bills will need to be reintroduced for these proposals to be considered in the 113th. 113th Congress Congressman Steve Stivers, an Ohio Democrat, and Congresswoman Gwen Moore, a Wisconsin Democrat, introduced the Municipal Advisor Oversight Improvement Act of 2013, H.R. 797 in February of 2013. It is identical to the Dold/Moore bill from the 112th Congress. AICPA Position The AICPA supports H.R. 797, and will continue to advocate for CPAs who provide only customary and usual services from having to register as municipal advisors, whether through legislative or regulatory action. Resources Copy of Legislation All major Congressional actions related to municipal advisor legislation are available on the Library of Congress's THOMAS website by searching for the legislation by bill number.

I agree with superclown2.....Google is not a search engine anymore, it's an advertising agency. They are being extremely unethical by not disclosing this....and they are still operating under the good-will they created in their early days when they really and truly cared about the quality of the search results, not their Adwords profits.
I did a search yesterday for a company on my laptop. I clicked on the first result without actually realizing that it was a Google paid advertisement via Adsense. I quickly hit the "back" button on my browser and went to the organic result that I was looking for (on the top of page 2, I might add).
I have over 15 years experience doing SEO and "internet". I was sober and not tired when I did the Google search.....it was clearly obvious to me that Google is attempting to blend their paid search results in with the organic results. The color of the background or something was "changed" ever so slightly to make the Google advertisements blend in further with the organic.
Funny how Google tells webmasters not to do the same thing....

Agencies Release List of Distressed or Underserved Nonmetropolitan
Middle-Income Geographies |
June 2, 2010
Circular No. 12214 | |
The federal bank and thrift regulatory agencies have announced the availability of the 2010 list of distressed or underserved nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies where revitalization or stabilization activities will receive Community Reinvestment Act consideration as "community development." "Distressed nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies" and "underserved nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies" are designated by the agencies in accordance with their CRA regulations. The designations reflect local economic conditions, including triggers such as unemployment, poverty and population changes. As with past releases, the 2010 list will incorporate a one-year lag period for geographies designated as distressed or underserved in 2009, but not designated as such in the 2010 release. Geographies subject to this one-year lag period are eligible to receive consideration for community development activities for 12 months after publication of the 2010 list. See press release.

In many people, nicotine from cigarettes stimulates receptors in the brain to release dopamine, triggering a pleasure response. Over time, the number of nicotine receptors increases and changes your brain's anatomy. When you quit smoking, you cut off the brain's pleasure response because the receptors don't get nicotine, triggering nicotine withdrawal symptoms. If you stick it out and use stop-smoking products to help with withdrawal symptoms and cravings, the number of nicotine receptors returns to normal, helping you quit smoking for good.

The association advocates and lobbies for autonomous, sustainable, and democratic local government systems in Somaliland that have quality and equitable service delivery.
ALGASL is now providing support for decentralization with a growing number of development partners in Somaliland. Several missions were made to member districts to increase the understanding of newly introduced municipal finance issues, as agreed in the road map for the municipal finance policy. ALGASL also carried out an evaluation with UNICEF on the progress made by Community Protection Committees in six target districts of the UN Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralized Service Delivery, and was contracted by UNDP (under the joint programme) for capacity-building activities among district council departments.
In the coming months, ALGASL plans to support both districts and citizens in Somaliland's local government elections process. To this end, the Association of Local Government Authorities of Kenya will provide guidance as part of a capacity-building contract between the sister associations.
In October 2011, ALGASL organized a mayors' forum that brought key members of the central government together to discuss the effects of climate change in Somaliland and commit to reducing its impact. This resulted in an agreement to organize peer learning sessions among local governments to support the self-sustaining capacity building of district authorities. ALGASL is currently preparing visibility materials (e.g. posters) for member districts to showcase best practices in areas such as financial management and service delivery.

Topic: Teachers
If you have a 8.7 grade point average on a 12 point system, what is that converted to a 4.0 GPA system?
1 Answer | add yours
At first glance, you would think that you would convert a 12 point scale grade point average to a 4 point scale simply by dividing by three. This would make logical sense because 12/3 = 4. This would give you a GPA of 2.9 on the 4.0 scale, which is just under a B average.
However, this is not the correct conversion. In order to make the correct conversion, you need to use a chart rather than simply doing basic math. You can find charts for this at this link and this link. These charts show us that an 8.7 GPA on a 12 point scale is roughly equal to a 3.2 GPA on a 4 point scale.

I ordered 3 different sets/styles for my king size bed. The first set (different style) had a flaw I discovered upon arrival, the second set (different style) was just "okay." But this set, in gray, is a total waste of money. I laundered them upon arrival, prior to placing them on my bed last weekend. After sleeping on them for one week (just me....I am single), the bottom sheet is full of "pills." This makes the sheet feel "gritty" and totally not acceptable. I would not recommend these sheets to anyone. You're better off buying Sofia Vergara 100% cotton sheets from K-Mart. (no pilling after several washings). I've been a customer for several years and have been pleased with the majority of items I have purchased form Overstock. But I struck out totally on these three sets of sheets, even though all of them were different brands and different styles. Not a happy shopper. :-(
I spent too much time shopping online for all-cotton sheets in a moss green color, then this set appeared. I have myself to blame for not reading 100% of the description this time because the terminology "Cotton Rich" and "400 thread count" do not mean that these sheets will be All Cotton! They are only 60% cotton and feel like you could bounce them on the floor. I was stunned and mad at myself but in the interest of time, I had to use them. They are for a guest bedroom and so no one has used them yet. They are shiny and not what I'd call moss-green but more of an 'evening grass green.' However, the color issue bothers me less than the use of "Cotton Rich" in the headlines for this ad. I just feel it's misleading to call a 60/40 cotton/poly product "cotton rich!" Anyway, I'm rarely perturbed with Overstock so I make allowances but now I've got to study their ads way more carefully because this one was misleading from my standpoint.
Beautiful sheets in appearance, durability, and quality.
Perfect color, wash beautifully and SOOO comfortable!
Nice soft really nice summer sheets, I am really please with the sheets
This item is great... except this pillow cases, which are small, even on my totally standard pillows. They are not long enough to really cover the whole pillow. That said, the sheets are great.Just use shams.
High percale count makes these feel yummy. Really nice sheets and not scratchy at all... you will not be disappointed With these. Buy more than one set!

Strand I – Democratic Institutions in Northern Ireland
The Agreement provides for a Northern Ireland Assembly to exercise devolved legislative powers over broad areas of social and economic policy. The Assembly comprises 108 members, representing Northern Ireland's 18 constituencies and elected by proportional representation on the basis of the single transferable vote.
Executive authority is discharged by Ministers in an Executive Committee, comprising up to ten Ministers with Departmental responsibilities and presided over jointly by a First and Deputy First Minister. Appointments to the Ministerial positions in the Executive are made via the d'Hondt system, a formula which allocates seats in proportion to party strength.
The Agreement formally provides for safeguards to ensure that all sections of the community can participate and work together successfully in the operation of the Assembly and Executive, including arrangements to ensure key decisions are taken with cross-community support.
The first elections to the Assembly took place in June 1998 and power was devolved from Westminster to the Assembly and Executive on 2 December 1999. Devolved power-sharing government continued, (albeit with further suspensions between February and May 2000 and again very briefly in August and September 2001) until October 2002, when the Assembly was again suspended. The Assembly was formally dissolved on 28 April 2003 and direct rule from Westminster resumed, with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland assuming responsibility for the direction of Northern Ireland Departments. In the years following suspension of the institutions of the Agreement, the two Governments continued to work together and with the parties to restore devolved government to Northern Ireland on an inclusive power-sharing basis.
The Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive were restored once again on 8 May 2007.

FAQs on Licensure
Supervision and New Rules
QUESTION: If someone has nearly finished the required 4000 hours of supervised experience, or has completed at least 3000 hours prior to the new Rules coming into effect, but had only one supervisor, how is this considered?
ANSWER: If the applicant has 500 or more hours yet to complete as of February 1, 1997, they should get a second supervisor in order to meet the requirements for licensure. (February 1997 Board meeting.)
Post-Degree Supervision
QUESTION: How much supervised practice must be obtained from a second supervisor? ANSWER: This requirement refers to individual, face to face supervision. A minimum of 500 hours practice must be supervised by each of two individual supervisors (not in group). (May 1997 and August 1998 Board meetings)
QUESTION: Is it acceptable for an applicant to obtain more than 2000 hours of supervision post-degree, or all supervision post-degree?
ANSWER: Supervision may be obtained pre or post degree. A minimum of 2000 hours of supervised practice must be completed after the degree is obtained.
QUESTION: I have completed my degree however I will not be formally graduated for several months. Can I begin counting my supervision as post degree?
ANSWER: Yes.
Taking the Exam
QUESTION: Is it possible to take the examination after graduation but before all of the required post-degree hours of supervised practice have been completed? ANSWER: An applicant will be allowed to sit for the examination if at the time the application is reviewed the candidate is within 300 hours of the 4000 hours requirement. (May 1997 Board meeting).
Old Applications
QUESTION: What is the procedure regarding reactivation of previously submitted applications?
ANSWER: An candidate whose application was received more than a year ago needs to reapply. The application will then be considered by the Board as a new application. If the applicant is currently licensed as a psychologist in another jurisdiction, he or she may apply for licensure by endorsement. In either case, the applicant must reapply if the previous application was received more than a year ago. The new application must include 3 current letters of reference, documentation of 4000 hours of post-degree supervision, and if applying for licensure by endorsement, verification of current state licensure. If transcripts are in the file, new transcripts are not needed. (October 1997)
Upgrading of Licensure
QUESTION: How may I upgrade from Psychologist-Master to Psychologist- Doctorate?
ANSWER: Two issues need to be clarified in order to respond to this question: the date of the degree and the length of time an individual has been in practice as a Masters level psychologist. If your Doctorate was obtained in the same continuous program as your Master's degree, you must obtain 2000 hours of supervised practice following completion of the Doctorate degree prior to licensure. If, however, you have practiced psychology as a Master level psychologist for at least one year and began the Doctoral program subsequently, you may be able to qualify for an upgrade without a further requirement for 2000 hours of post degree supervision. (March 1998 Board meeting.)
QUESTION: If you are a psychologist licensed in Vermont, do you have to provide disclosure information to clients from another state?
ANSWER: Vermont State law requires all Vermont licensed psychologists when practicing in Vermont to provide the disclosure to all clients. (January 1997 Board meeting.)
QUESTION: Are psychologists who are part of a private practice group (a partnership or a corporation) exempted from the disclosure requirement, as psychologists who practice in institutions are?
ANSWER: No. Psychologists employed by or belonging to a private practice or managed care group (even if it is a corporation) are still considered to be independently practicing and, therefore, subject to the disclosure requirement. Employees or persons under contract with an institution which is under the oversight of a governmental agency are exempt and only need to inform people that the information is available upon request. (January 1997 Board meeting.)
QUESTION: Do you give the disclosure only to new clients or everyone, including previous clients?
ANSWER: Vermont law requires psychologists to disclose to both current and new clients within three visits. (January 1997 Board meeting.)
QUESTION: Regarding the disclosure of supervised experience, do we disclose only the 4,000 hours required for licensure, or do we also include any additional supervision received since becoming licensed and special training supervision?
ANSWER: This is in the discretion of the psychologist. One can refer to all three, but it is not mandated. Psychologists should refer to the Rules which are specific about what one must include at a minimum. (February 1997 Board meeting.)
QUESTION: Section (d) states: When the client is not able to understand the disclosure, as in the case of a minor or an adult who is under the supervision of guardian, the disclosure shall be made to a suitable parent or guardian. What if no guardian has been appointed?
ANSWER: If guardianship application has been made, the disclosure should be to the person named in the petition. If the guardianship petition is contested or soon to be awarded, wait; or have the client sign and then subsequently, if a guardian of appointed, have the guardian sign. (February 1997 Board meeting.)
CPQ Information
QUESTION: Is the Certificate of professional Qualification (CPQ) offered by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) accepted for licensure as a psychologist in Vermont?
ANSWER: YES. If verification of your CPQ is received directly from ASPPB.
QUESTION: If I apply for licensure using my CPQ, what other documentation is required?
ANSWER: If applying using CPQ, you must also submit an application, the application fee, a copy of your vita (resume), and three letters of recommendation (including one from a psychologist who has supervised you work). Please also request verification of your current unconditioned licensure as a psychologist in another jurisdiction to be sent directly to this Office.

"Perfect for summer, delightfully delicious!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 large tomato, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, or to taste
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste (optional)
When I make this salad, I like to throw in a clove of fresh minced garlic. If you can stand it, throw this together and let it sit for an hour. NOTE: This is also just as good with a quality balsamic vinegar.
Very nice, easy and light. We loved this!

Native Deen
Not Afraid To Stand Alone (self-released)
Fusing hip-hop rhymes, soul harmonies, and Middle Eastern rhythms, Baltimore/D.C.-based Native Deen frames its Muslim-centric message with an appealing, cross-cultural groove. Overall, the trio exudes a relentlessly positive image, and their lyrics mix grassroots activism with higher-calling didacticism. To the unconverted, the message may be awkward and off-putting—it's gospel music, but far different than what most Americans are accustomed to hearing—but Native Deen's high-energy performances are convincing and infectious. Throughout the disc, call-and-response vocals, handclaps, multi-part harmonies, and funky percussion echo elements of classic soul, R&B, and DC go-go—you'd need hips of steel and a hardened heart to resist tunes such as "Pray Before...," "Labbayk," and "Be At The Top." Religious groups like this can find themselves preaching to the choir—sometimes, rightly so—but Native Deen deserves a wider audience. In fact, I'd put them on the same mixtape with Mos Def, Ralph Stanley, and John Zorn's Masada.
Arty Hill and the Long Gone Daddys
Bar of Gold (Cow Island)
"I'm goin' down to tore-up junction with a paycheck in my shoe," Arty Hill sings at the outset of this disc, and that line sets the tone for the hillbilly heartache to come. Hill, an Eastern Shore native, writes country songs with a timeless feel, tunes that play particularly well in a worn F150 barreling down a lost highway—preferably towards some watering hole with the church steeple in the rearview mirror. But in Hill's world, the honky-tonk rates as more than just a destination. It's a way of life and functions as a noun (the honky-tonk saved/ruined my life), verb (I'm honky-tonkin'), and adjective (honky-tonk women, honky-tonk nights, honky-tonk music). It's why the Bible thumpers in his songs haven't got a prayer, the lawyers can't pass the bar (without stopping in for a drink), and why Hill, himself, can't resist "Hankin' Around." It's also why the spirit of Hank Williams lives in these exuberant, rollicking, and wry songs.
Wye Oak
If Children (Merge)
Baltimore's indie rock ascendance continues with this formidable duo, a group that could be the next Yo La Tengo. Like that enduring Hoboken band, Wye Oak alternates between quivering, shimmering melodies and muscular, feedback-driven walls of noise augmented by rock solid drumming, moody keyboards, and unobtrusive production. Tinged with melancholia, songs such as "Please Concrete," "Archaic Smile," "Family Glue," and "Orchard Fair" hit lofty and majestic peaks that few artists attain; "I Don't Feel Young" exudes a wisdom beyond this young band's years; and "Keeping Company" hints at more sophisticated pop to come.

This is one of the odd stories of motoring history. The Troll was a fibre-glass bodied 700cc, two stroke, rear wheel drive car developed in the 1950's by Troll Plastik & Bilindustri, ostensibly to develop a Norwegian Car Industry. However the Norwegian government were keen to sustain a fish export industry, especially to the Soviet Union, which supplied cars to Norway offset by the fish exports. Accordingly Troll were restricted to manufacture 15 cars, although only about 6-7 were actually produced.
It was supposed to be a sports car and the engine, sourced from Germany was claimed to have a Bosch fuel injection system. Top speed was about 130km/h. It was compared to a Porsche of the time, which seems a bit optimistic.
There were export plans for something like 2,000 cars per annum, but after investors got the hint that it could not be sold in Norway (due to the Fish Barter Deal) any idea of volume production ceased.
Not sure that the name was catchy enough. There might be other connotations in Norway but calling a car after a fierce legendary monster with a fondness for eating children, does not seem a winner to me.

"I don't know why it is called 'Poor-Man Sandwich'. But I do know it is a long time family recipe that tastes GREAT!!. It may sound strange, however you have to try it to understand what it is. Enjoy!!!!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 slices whole wheat bread
6 slices dill pickle
1 tablespoon thinly sliced onion
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
wow. I cant believe I ate that. and even more, I cant believe I liked that. I think my choice of sugar free pb was helpful. it reminded me of dill pickle potato chips (which I dont know if they have in the US). next time I have a craving for chips, I will eat this freaky sandwich.
I gave this a three as I found it neither bad nor exciting just kinda boring. There was not a flavor in particular that stood out to me. My husband laughed when he looked inside the sandwich and gagged his way through eating it. He would have give it one star.

What can I say - I had to try it! This combination worked really well. I think the key is balance; too much of any one of the ingredients would have thrown it off, but if you don't go overboard on anything it all gets together and sings. Reminded me a bit of bread-and-butter pickles; tangy, but sweet, and with a little bite from the onion. I'll make this again!
I loved this recipe. I had to try it because it was so different and didn't really think I would like it all. The flavors really compliment each other.I used Claussen Sandwich Stackers and red onioin. It's standard lunch box fare now.
I had to try this because it reminded me of a sandwich that my grandfather eats all the time for breakfast which is... PB, mayo and raisens on ww toast. This was surprisingly good as is my grandpa's oldtime favorite. I think I'd like it better with no onion though.
i really loved this and i think my husband was terrified that i was pregnant when he saw the ingredients! It was really good and my nieces and nephew also liked it! thanks!
This sandwich (hold the onion) is my dad's and my favorite. We thought we were weird for liking this concoction. It's nice to know that we are not alone.
This was a very interesting sandwich and it was a lot of fun to try. My husband and I both enjoyed it very much. I like the flavor of raw onions as long as it is not very strong so I only used about half of the amount suggested. I'll definitely make it again!

text: Windows Vista, you spelled my name wrong though . First, in my post there was a Sacramento PG involved in the trade, Brooks or Jimmer (wouldn't mind if it was Thomas). After some thinking and some kind words from almost everyone of you I decided that it wasn't that good of an offer. So if you let me, I would like to subtract a 1st round pick out of the deal.

Back to TopThe Commercial Expobar Office Lever Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines are a welcome addition to the Expobar line. Its traditional styling, compact size, and commercial strength make this a leading competitor in the semi-automatic lever operated espresso machines. It is a machine capable of everyday use in the coffees shop, small cafe or hotel coffee bar, and in the kitchen of the at-home barista.
The commercial style copper boiler has all the features that are found on larger commercial machines. It allows simultaneous brewing and steaming, enabling smooth operation. It has both a steam wand and hot water dispensing wand that adjust laterally so that they can swing in either direction for easy access.
With commercial capabilities its size makes it convenient for those who want great espresso without sacrificing a large amount of counter space. It is 15" tall, 10.25" wide and 17.5" deep.
The E61 brew group provides pre-infusion and a thermal siphon for maximum temperature stability and aroma extraction. The Expobar Office Lever now has 2 pressure gauge displays that allow users to easily monitor both brew and boiler pressure
The eye catching highly polished steel housing is as durable as is it beautiful.
The accessories include a chrome plated brass portafilter, tamper, single shot filter basket, double shot filter basket, backflush disc and a 7 gram coffee scoop.
Please Note: Regulations for commercial use vary between states. Be aware of your local requirements. Machines carrying an NSF approval are labeled as such. Please visit our policies page for warranty information.
Back to TopFeatures & Benefits: Coffee
Heavy Duty Commercial Portafilter
The portafilter is commercially designed and made of chrome-plated brass, which is excellent for temperature stability throughout the brewing process. The machine comes with a double spout portafilter.
E61 Commercial Brewing Group
This is the portion of the machine that the portafilter locks into. It is made of chrome plated marine brass, which provides a superior brewing environment with maximum heat stability and component longevity. The commercial E61 brew group is known throughout the industry to be one of the best due to its thermal siphon design. The thermal siphon circulates hot water from the boiler to the group thus keeping it piping hot in times of inactivity. Its temperature stability is as good as it gets.
Progressive Coffee Infusion
The brewing system provides a smoother delivery of pressure then a traditional vibration pump. Not found on other machines in this class and was noticeable on our own technical analysis - a nice feature.
Commercial Design Heat Exchanger Boiler System
The large 1.8-liter copper boiler with brass end plate takes about fifteen minutes to heat up. Once it is up to operating pressure it can brew continuous espressos all day long. Due to the boiler's large size it can also do many lattes and cappuccinos without any down time. The heat exchanger allows you to brew and steam at the same time.
Unique Lever Control w/ 3-Way Valve
There are only two controls on the Office Lever. The main power switch is located on the upper left, and a lever on the right, which operates the brewing process and solenoid valve. The main power switch is a lighted rocker switch, when the machine is turned on it glows red, and the boiler immediately starts to heat up. When the pressure gauge reaches 1 bar of pressure, you are ready to brew. The only control you will need to operate is the lever that is located just to the right of the brew group. This is a very unique system because this lever actually controls a valve in the brew group. Press the lever up to open the valve to start the water flow through the coffee this also activates the pump. Press it all the way down when you are done brewing and it opens a valve that relieves the water pressure off the coffee. This serves two functions; it dries out the coffee to prevent dripping and makes it easy to knock the coffee out of the portafilter with one knock. This valve that you are operating is a very high quality piece of equipment that gives you more of a hands-on system that most standard pump machines.
Low Water Cut Off
The Office Lever has a low water sensor mounted in the water reservoir that will turn off all power to the boiler if the water level gets to low.
Pressure Controller w/Pressure Gauge
The boiler temperature/pressure is controlled through a pressure controller. It senses the pressure in the boiler and turns on the heating element in the boiler as the pressure drops. You can visually see the boiler pressure through a pressure gauge on the front of the machine. When the needle in the gauge is between 1 and 1.5 bar of pressure you are ready to brew and steam. If the pressure controller ever gets out of calibration you can tell by the pressure on the gauge. Just give us a call and we can easily walk you through resetting the pressure controller.
Pressure Gauges
The Expobar Office Lever now has 2 pressure gauge displays that allow users to easily monitor both brew and boiler pressure making it easier to monitor the extraction parameters.
Electronic Controls
The "Electronic Boiler Refill Control" is the brain of the machine. It uses probes mounted inside the boiler and on the base plate below the reservoir to sense their water levels. It uses this information to control the operation of the pump for refilling the boiler when necessary. It will also turn the boiler off for safety if the reservoir or boiler runs out of water.
Cup Warmer
We always preheat cups when brewing espresso. A non-preheated cup will immediately suck the heat out of the espresso thus robbing you of maximum enjoyment. The Expobar Office Lever has a passive cup warmer located on the top of the machine. The cup warmer is 10" x 10".
Features & Benefits: Frothing and Hot Water
Hot Water Dispenser
The Expobar Office Lever has a separate hot water dispenser. Just turn the knob on the right and the boiler pressure will push hot water out through the dedicated wand located on the right side.
Steam Wand
The steam wand is high enough off the counter and long enough to work well in any situation. It also rotates the left so that it you have plenty of room to work.
Features & Benefits: Care, Maintenance & Other
Water Reservoir
The 2.75-liter reservoir may be removed for cleaning. The easiest and safest way to fill the Office Lever is by removing the reservoir.
Back flush the Expobar Office Lever at least every 7-9 days. It is a simple process that takes only a few minutes. Put a blank filter basket into the portafilter (supplied) and add a tablespoon of cleaner. Install the portafilter into the machine and turn the control lever up to start the pump. The pump will be noisy as it starts and will quiet down as the pressure builds. When the pump has quieted down, turn the lever all the way down. This will cause the cleaner to be blown up into the brew group, through the three-way valve, and down into the drip pan. Do this until the cleaner that is being directed into the drip pan is just free of coffee colors. Finish the process by rinsing out the brew group.
Housing Construction
The Expobar Office Lever is breathtaking. Polished steel housing, cup warmer and front panel. Stainless steel drip grate and drip pan. Heavy powder coated steel frame and chrome plated brass brew group.
One year parts & labor warranty

Treatment options & support
…there appears to be an increase in post-adolescent acne, and that the disease is lasting longer and is requiring treatment well into the mid forties."2
International Journal of Cosmetic Science. 2004.
Adult acne affects 25% of adult men and 50% of adult women at some time in their adult lives. 1/3 of adults affected with facial acne also have acne on their back and body. These are the official statistics, but most adults have had a zit or two in their adult lives. For still unknown reasons, people seem to be struggling with acne into their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond.1-3 Dermatologists find themselves seeing more adult acne patients than in previous decades. Adult acne can cause depression and social anxiety in an adult the same way it can in a teen.2,4
If a man experiences acne as an adult, most likely he simply has adult acne. This means a case of acne which is stubborn and has held on since adolescence without reprieve. Few men experience adult onset acne--acne which suddenly develops well into a man's 20s or later. If a man does experience adult onset acne, it is likely due to some sort of prolonged irritation of the skin or comedogenic product he is using.
Just like men, women can experience adult acne--acne symptoms which stubbornly stick around past adolescence. However, unlike men, many women experience adult onset acne as well—a sudden upsurgence of acne well into her 20s or beyond.
Since acne in a man is normally the same stubborn case of acne he had as a teen, treatment usually remains the same. Benzoyl peroxide, when used correctly, can achieve or approximate total clearing in most adolescent and adult males. Accutane, while it is often reserved for males with moderate to severe acne and can come with serious side effects, tends to cure about 2/3 of men who take it as well. Dermatologists also have other treatments that they can prescribe.
Female hormones tend to fluctuate more than male hormones, and unlike men, hormonal treatment is an option for women.5-11 If you are experiencing waves of premenstrual breakouts or are simply dealing with the same stubborn case of acne you had as an adolescent, a quick check of hormone levels (you can ask your family doctor for this test) is prudent. However, if you and your doctor decide not to pursue hormonal treatment, benzoyl peroxide, when administered correctly, should prove strong enough to achieve and maintain consistently clear skin. Doctors can also prescribe Accutane, a powerful systemic oral medication, to women with more severe acne. Accutane provides a cure to about 2/3 of women, but comes with severe side effects including severe birth defects. Doctors can also prescribe other medical treatments.
A special case: Poly-Cystic Ovary Syndrome: If you experience a stubborn outbreak of adult onset acne, especially if it comes with hirsuitism (hair overgrowth) and/or menstrual irregularities, it may be a good idea to speak to your doctor to rule out the possibility of poly-cystic ovary syndrome, an easily diagnosed reversible disorder that can affect hormone levels and result in acne.12
