Tourniquet Biography
Tourniquet is an american christian thrash metal band, based out of California. Formed in 1989. The current members of Tourniquet are Ted Kirkpatrick (drums), Luke Easter (vocals), Steve Andino (bass) and Aaron Guerra (guitar, vocals). Former members include Gary Lenaire, Guy Ritter, Victor Macias, Erik Mendez and Vince Dennis. The band is named after a tourniquet which is a surgical device for arresting hemorrhage by compression of a blood vessel. According to the band, tourniquet is a metaphor for "a lifelong spiritual process by which a personal God, through the atoning blood, death, and resurrection of His only Son—Jesus Christ—can begin to stop the flow of going through life without knowing and serving our Creator. He is our Tourniquet." Tourniquet was formed as a christianthrash metal band. The group was one of many bands who were, at the time, affiliated with a church group called Sanctuary - the rock and roll refuge in Los Angeles. They started out with Ted Kirkpatrick(drums), Guy Ritter (vocals) and Gary Lennaire (guitaris/vocalist). Their first record Stop the Bleeding was produced in 1990, by Bill Metoyer of Metal Blade Records, and released by Intense Records. While it was mostly distributed to Christian bookstores, Stop the Bleeding was a notable Christian thrash metal album in its time. Tourniquet's characteristic style broke new ground and quickly gained them fans all over the world. In their early line up, Guy Ritter sang the more melodic vocal parts while Gary Lenaire did the aggressive, thrash metal shouts. The band brought forth their first single Ark of Suffering, which received some minor airplay on MTV, but was pulled down due to video shots of animal abuse. Because of the song and it's subsequent video, the band became known for its stance on animal rights. In 1991, Tourniquet abandoned most of its 1980's metal influences and recorded a more modern album titled Psycho Surgery. On the song Spineless the band experimented with rap rock in the vein of Anthrax and Faith No More long before the style became popular later in the 1990's. Psycho Surgery showcased the classical music influences more clearly than on 'Stop The Bleeding', and the drummer's background in the pharmaceutical industry became more apparent: many of the songs utilized medical terminology as metaphors for social/spiritual issues. On Psycho Surgery. Tourniquet continued to work with producer Bill Metoyer, and eventually signed a distribution agreement with Metal Blade Records, which released Psycho Surgery to a far wider general market audience than the band was able to reach with Stop the Bleeding. However, Intense Records still released Psycho Surgery and distributed it to Christian retail In 1993, Tourniquet recorded what is considered their most technical and dark album, Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance. Guy Ritter left the band during the recording of Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance. Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance quickly became one of the most popular of the band's albums among Tourniquet fans, and it was voted Favourite Album of the 1990's by the readers of HM Magazine. As with the previous album, Metal Blade Records released Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance to the general market and Intense Records released it to the Christian market. Luke Easter, who had formerly sung in a more pop rock oriented group, replaced Ritter, joining Tourniquet for the Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance tour. On this tour, Tourniquet was scheduled to play the Milwaukee Metalfest in 1993, but professed satanist Glen Benton of Deicide, the festival headliner, refused to play with a christian band. The festival was forced to cancel Tourniquet's performance. This brought more publicity and notoriety to Tourniquet. The band's sound took a sharp turn from their early thrash metal days, following the departure of original vocalist Guy Ritter. In the interim, the band recorded a "live in studio" album with Les Carlsen of Bloodgood. The following album, Vanishing Lessons was much more hard rock, but no less technical. After another EP, Gary Lennaire left the band. The band's latest release, Where Moth and Rust Destroy, features special guests Marty Friedman, formerly of Megadeth, and Bruce Franklin, formerly of Trouble, on lead guitar (tourniquet had previously covered Trouble's The Tempter on their live EP).

Purchased a jig saw, that did not come with any blades; therefore, went to Sears to pick up this set of blades. The product worked very well, with precision cuts for a professional install of the flooring. The cuts were so fine, no splintering or broken pieces were created. When these blades become dull, I will be purchasing a new set.

I needed a basic assortment to get through a small project. These were not for a professional job but I don't see why they wouldn't work. I used these in a B&D jigsaw and they cut true to the outline. Mine were Swiss made. I think they wore down more than I expected which is the reason for 4 stars.

"Best Travel Zoom Camera to Date!"
on by UncleGarePros Excellent IQ for non DSLR
Big Zoom with Rock Solid IS
Eye Popping VideoCons Only have minor complaints: 1. Video is pretty slow to start, 2. burst mode takes too long to write, and 3. burst mode limited to 10 frames.
Summary I owned and really wanted to like the Nikon S9100, but returned it due to focusing issues, especially at longer telephoto lengths. Also owned and returned the Panasonic ZS10, which seemed amazing until I viewed the pics on the computer... noisier than I can even describe (unless in perfect light at ISO 100), even the video was mush. This surprised me, because my ZS3 (CCD sensor) took really clean photos in low-light up to ISO 400.
The Sony HX9v has been nearly perfect for me, with consistently crisp (and fast) focus and punchy colors. The video is stellar and you really need to see it to believe it. Sony has managed to put a truly high QUALITY big zoom camera/camcorder in my pocket and I am loving it! IMHO, this really is the best travel zoom available... good job Sony, you've won me back! -
"Almost PERFECT, FUN, state of the art compact superzoom"
on by rommel49erPros Excellent Image quality for a compact
Smooth and sharp 1080 60p video
Sweep Panorama creates incredible wide shots
Background Defocus is actually effective in emulating shots taken with more expensive lenses
10 fframes per sec Burst shooting perfect for aCons Zoom lens mechanism is not smooth and exhibits shudder while zooming
Menu navigation is a little cumbersome
No color and shaprness adjusment in movie mode
No external battery chargerSummary After trying 3 of the newest and best superzooms, the Panasonic ZS10, the Canon SX230, and the Sony HX9V, the clear winner for me was the Sony. The review of these 3 cameras in dcresource.com is spot on. The Canon arguably had the best image quality though I lthink the HX9V has better IQ over the entire range of lighting comditions. Forget the ZS10, the photos from it are just plain noisy. The video I took with the ZS10 of my son's graduation was aweful. Canon's 1080 24fps video was okay. The 28 Mbps 1080 60p video from the HX9V is so smooth and sharp. I even pitted it against the Panasonic GH2 and the video quality is comparable if not better. But the thing that separated this camera from the other two is the fun features like the Sweep Panorama, Background Defocus, and the 10 fps Burst shooting. They allow you to do more creative photography. I did have to buy an NP-FG1 extra battery and an external charger. All in all, this camera packs a lot of features and takes excellent photos and is a great deal at $350. I used to shoot with SLRs and with small kids, I've learned to sacrifice shot quality for convenience. With the HX9V, I don't feel like I need to go back to lugging a big heavy SLR.
"Does it all with style."
on by reubenrcbsPros Optical Zoom, pixel count, gps, movie capability and quality, panorama, 3D, dim light performance
Cons Proprietary USB port but comes with cable and outlet attachment, since the camera battery has to be charged in camera using a computer or a wall socket. It's probably a good idea to spring for an external charger and purchase a back up battery anyway, if
Summary This is a phenomenal camera, well worth the money. The zoom function is truly useful and the picture quality seems extremely good, even though it is soooo Sony, meaning a tad soft on purpose. No problem with down loads to your computer, MAC or PC, providing you turn the camera on once hooked up to your computer (that's the green light, not the orange light indicating charging). The supplied battery (no longer produced) is fine, but the replacement battery NP-FG1 is better due to the info capability being in minutes. I want to say it's easy to use but the manual is not particularly helpful, so some people will have a little difficulty, at first, but they should not despair. The learning curve is not particularly steep, even for an advanced camera like this one, and the on camera help manual is, on the other hand, very well done, so you can leave home without the manual. This is a very impressive camera with lots of features. If you have a 3D TV, it is a must buy, even if everything is in its infancy.
"really great camera"
on by Bios1Pros 16x Optical Zoom, good Image Stabilization, lot of advanced Features
Cons No Optical Viewfinder, No Pdf manual, No HDMI cable include.
Summary After reading lot of reviews, I pick up this Sony, and I am very happy with the performance.I already bought extra battery and external charger BC-TRN because internal charging is slow (cca 270 min.)
"Great travel camera- HD 60p video is amazing!"
on by Tomcat1234567Pros Easy to carry in shirt pocket- great travel camera
LCD screen is viewable in bright sunlight
HD video is amazing when viewed on HD TV
Low-light pics are truly unbelievable; I've never had such good indoor shots without flash
Zoom is sharp and image stCons No external battery charger- must charge in camera (can buy external charger separately)
Zoom control is a little sluggish
Image quality is great however I would describe the color saturation as slightly lowSummary I started looking for a new camera to take on a trip to Italy in June and saw the reviews for the Sony DSC- HX9V. Low light shooting without flash was my priority since I knew I'd be in cathedrals and museums where flash is forbidden (photos in general were forbidden in some of them). The camera didn't disappoint- the new Exmor R sensor would come through with flying colors. The video quality was truly outstanding - every bit as good as a full sized video camera. I pretty much left the camera on the intelligent-auto setting with the flash turned off. After 9 days of shooting I came home with more than 640 pictures and videos and was eagerly waiting to see them on the big screen. I was amazed at the quality of the low light pictures and the HD video!
Panorama pictures were a nice bonus- I got really good ones at the Vatican plaza and St. Mark's square. If you get this camera make sure you get a high speed high capacity (at least 16 GB with 15 MB/sec) SD card because the HD video needs fast performance to work well. As stated before the color saturation was a little on the weak side (for my taste anyway) but I was coming from using Canon cameras for years and was used to their slightly oversaturated color. If you are taking a much-anticipated trip somewhere I will gladly recommend this camera to take along- it is worth the $350 price tag. Happy Trails to you!

Born on February 10, 1902, in China, Walter H. Brattain was an experimental physicist who co-invented the transistor, a breakthrough in electronics. The invention came as a result of AT&T's request to improve upon their telephone service. By amplifying the elecritcity needed for telephone service with the transistor, as opposed to using inefficient vacuum tubes, Brattain is believed to have helped introduce the "Information Age." Brattain, in addition to his team,
received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1956. He died on October 13, 1987, in Seattle.
Early Life
Physicist Walter Houser Brattain was born on February 10, 1902, in Amoy, China, where his father was teaching. In 1903, the family returned to their native state of Washington, where Walter H. Brattain grew up on a cattle ranch. Like both his parents, Brattain attended Whitman College where he majored in physics. He went on to receive his M.S. in physics from the University of Oregon and his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. In 1928, he began working at the National Bureau of Standards as a radio engineer. He left a year later to join Bell Laboratories.
Scientific Breakthrough
Brattain's research was focused on the surface properties of solids and the variations of the atomic structure of a material's interior and exterior. He worked to understand the properties of semiconductors, materials that can conduct more or less electricity transiently. During World War II, he spent two years working on technology to detect submarines.
After the war, AT&T desired to expand and improve their telephone service. At the time, service was dependent on unreliable vacuum tubes, necessary to amplify the electric current by controlling electron flow. AT&T consulted Bell Laboratories to innovate the system, and research leader William B. Shockley recruited Brattain and John Bardeen to join the project.
The men changed the face of modern technology. In 1947, the team discovered a way to replace the vacuum tube by placing a treated wafer of germanium (a semiconductor) between two gold point contacts and using a plastic triangle wrapped in gold ribbon to amplify the electricity. The resulting invention was dubbed a point-contact transistor. The device was perfected and ultimately, the transistor was smaller, more dependable and generated lower levels of heat than the vacuum tube. Considered the predecessor of modern electronics and the microchip, the transistor ushered in the "Information Age." The men shared the Nobel Prize for Physics for their discovery in 1956.
Personal Life
Brattain continued research at Bell Laboratories until his retirement in 1967. He relocated to Washington and taught as an adjunct professor at Whitman College. He was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In 1935, Brattain married Dr. Karen Gilmore. She died of cancer 14 years after couple's first son, William, was born. In 1958, Brattain remarried Emma Jane Miller. Brattain died of Alzheimer's disease on October 13, 1987, in Seattle, Washington.

Though keyboardist Ansel Collins never made a huge name for himself as a solo artist, he played on countless recordings for some of reggae's most well-known artists during the '70s and '80s. Born in Jamaica in 1949, Collins began his musical career in the '60s as a singer but soon switched to first drums and then keyboards quickly after. He first rose to prominence in 1971 with "Double Barrel," a song his brother Dave and he recorded for the Trojan label. The song scaled the British singles chart, and the duo's follow-up, "Monkey Spanner," did nearly as well, entering the Top Ten. Following these hits, Collins wrote the song "Stalag 17" for producer Winston Riley at the Techniques label. The song became a top seller in Jamaica in 1973 and was later covered extensively by dancehall artists. Collins spent the rest of the '70s busily working as a studio musician. He worked extensively with Sly & Robbie at the Channel One studio and regularly played with the Revolutionaries and the Aggrovators, both of them groundbreaking dub bands. He also worked with many of the decade's most legendary producers such as King Tubby and Lee Perry. Some of his late-'70s recordings with Sly & Robbie at Channel One were compiled in 2002 on the Jamaican Gold collection. Throughout the '80s and into the '90s, Collins worked with many of reggae's most popular artists: Black Uhuru, Jimmy Cliff, Gregory Isaacs, Israel Vibration, U-Roy, and many more. ~ Jason Birchmeier

The book made them wonder whether political science had been wearing blinders for the past half-century. "That was the inspiration for both of us to look at our discipline and say: To what degree are we guilty of implicitly assuming that for politics, the human brain is a blank slate?" says Alford. They wondered whether ideology in fact has roots in biology, whether people's genes could predict how they might vote.
The two didn't realize it at the time, but they would soon reinvent themselves and help found the new field of genopolitics. To do that, they had to learn genetics and brain anatomy, forge ties with neuroscientists and molecular biologists, and do battle against skeptical colleagues.
—Richard Monastersky, "The Chronicle of Higher Education," October 3, 2008
Why do some people vote and others stay home on Election Day? For years, scholars have assumed that a voter pulls the lever because she grew up in a voting household or perhaps sat through a lot of civics classes. But this year two political scientists published studies claiming that in addition to environment, genes may be a primary influence on political engagement. Not only that, they think they have identified the genes that increase the likelihood of voting. A political scientist who advocates this approach calls this emerging field genopolitics.

Earliest Citation:
The pioneering work of James H. Fowler and others in a (yet) small contingent of behavior genetic political scientists (I'm not sure if there is an established name for their approach yet in political science) demonstrates the importance of genetic influences for a whole host of personality and behavioral measures, including political attitude and partisan strength.
P.S. James now tells me that his favored name for the field that he is helping to create is "genopolitics."

Here's an earlier citation that seems to be a nonce coinage taken from a book called The Future Dictionary of America:
The Future Dictionary of America is more creative as well as expansive, and it is designed as a proper dictionary....Well, it is a world of terrarism and skinicism, of immigranitis and genopolitics, of democrazy and candidoxy.

—S. Prasannarajan and Shankkar Aiyar, "You're Neoconned," India Today, January 24, 2005
Here's an even earlier usage, although I'm sure the author is using the term in a different sense here:
At the university he teaches what he calls geno-politics, which is the study of the peculiar relationships which arise and produce conflict in situations of contact between black and white.

Trembling fingers, electric to the sensation of my ambition, Drowning in my their essence, a filthy poison they drink each evening, They beg, but I find no reason to quit. Why should I when the taste is so sweet? Their nectar is like no other, a wine of guilty pleasure that I endure like an orgasm, My eyes, lost in the stoic, dull glance, never phase from their sorrow, rather grasp their pity to fortify who I am. I am neither man or beast, but something inbetween, a perfected holocaust to the sanity of everyone's nightmares; however, they aren't nightmares but reality in the presence of nightmare's wish, Scream for me that serenade of dread. I cling to it like a broken promise seen in lover's shattered eyes, It's not a scream, rather a symphony of what they should hear, those seeking the skeptical verse from torn away eyes. This is not fiction, rather a snuff of what you fear most....your own delusional downfall, I'm a shadow in your darkness; a glance in your window; a footstep moving nonchalantly to break the foundation of security, Do not fear me, for my attack will be swift and just. I rather not bring noise to myself... The Harvester of Souls......

I read it several times, as i do with most poetry, yet with urs I had to read it tenderly, there was so much put into so little. I love that fact of desciptiveness. I'm the same way. I really loved that poem. My take on it was one of a vampireic persective and/or murder persective....or/yet did u use that as a metorphor? Maybe for an addiction, addicted personally? {OR am I totally looking way to in depth? That's also a flaw of mine...I tend to look way to deeply into things.

Coronation | 8 December 877 in Compiègne |

Successor | Louis III and Carloman II |
Spouse | Ansgarde of Burgundy Adelaide of Paris |
Issue | |
Louis III of France Carloman II Hildegarde of France Gisela of France Ermentrude of France Charles the Simple |
House | Carolingian |
Father | Charles the Bald |
Mother | Ermentrude of Orléans |
Born | 1 November 846 |
Died | 10 April 879 | (aged 32)
Burial | Saint-Corneille Abbey, Compiègne, France, |
Louis the Stammerer (French: Louis le Bègue) (1 November 846 – 10 April 879) was the King of Aquitaine and later King of West Francia. He was the eldest son of Charles the Bald and Ermentrude of Orléans. He succeeded his younger brother in Aquitaine in 866 and his father in West Francia in 877, though he was never crowned Emperor. In the French monarchial system, he is considered Louis II.
Twice married, he and his first wife, Ansgarde of Burgundy, had two sons: Louis (born in 863) and Carloman (born in 866), both of whom became kings of France, and two daughters: Hildegarde (born in 864) and Gisela (865–884), who married Robert, Count of Troyes.
With his second wife, Adelaide of Paris, he had one daughter, Ermentrude (875–914) – who was the mother of Cunigunde, wife of the Count Palatine Wigerich of Bidgau; they were the ancestors of the House of Luxemburg —, and a posthumous son, Charles the Simple, who would become, long after his elder brothers' deaths, king of France.
He was crowned on 8 December 877 by Hincmar, archbishop of Rheims, and was crowned a second time in September 878 by Pope John VIII at Troyes while the pope was attending a council there. The pope may even have offered the imperial crown, but it was declined. Louis the Stammerer was said to be physically weak and outlived his father by only two years. He had relatively little impact on politics. He was described "a simple and sweet man, a lover of peace, justice, and religion". In 878, he gave the counties of Barcelona, Girona, and Besalú to Wilfred the Hairy. His final act was to march against the Vikings who were then the scourge of Europe. He fell ill and died on 9 April or 10 April 879 not long after beginning his final campaign. On his death, his realms were divided between his two sons, Carloman and Louis.

^ nice.
i have a 2000 audi a4 quattro 1.8t. i highly recommend it. the 1.8t engine offers a great compromise of power and fuel efficiency. i live in tahoe in the winter and it handles the snow very well. i have a room rack for my board which is great because it keeps all the snow and ice out of the car. when all the snow is gone it's great for cruising on the freeway to the beach or the desert or wherever... alasdair |

This is a pic. of my step-dtr. that I think is Mac like.
thank you jayzee
Shadowfever was HUGE Karen definitely needs R&R...
VP original~
Oh my god - yess!! i would really LOVE to read more about mac and jericho. but not just as sidecharacters, but as the protagonists. i technically fell in love with barrons, he is the best male protagonist i could ever find in a book!
I get what you're saying as far as Dani goes, that she's very young, but you have to think about it this way: a good portion of us here were cheering on Mac and Barrons, and the age difference between them is immense. Not to mention, Barrons KNEW Isla when she was still alive. I would like it if Dani grew up a bit, definitely, but I could understand if Karen chose to write the next book with Dani still being 14.
I agree, I want a book with an older Dani. Also, I may be in the minority but I would love to read a story about Kasteo, just sayin

Scott Lee is an MD-PhD Candidate in Health Policy and Management at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Business School. His principal research interests lie in improving the delivery of primary health care both in the United States and, especially, in low- and middle-income countries. His dissertation research currently focuses on the management of community health workers in sub-Saharan Africa--i.e., how best to select, train, support, and compensate community health workers so as to maximize their performance.
Scott graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard College in 2003 with a BA in medical anthropology, comparative religion, and African studies. He then completed an MPhil in environment and development as a Gates Scholar at the University of Cambridge and an MPA in health policy at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Since 2001, Scott has spent eight summers working in rural Kenya, where he has teamed with local villagers to establish a high school, a nursery school, a microfinance program, an agricultural training program, a computer training center, and a community health clinic. In 2006, Scott co-founded a nonprofit organization, Common Hope for Health, to support the Kenyan health clinic and other community-based health initiatives in low-resource settings. He has supplemented this hands-on experience with stints at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Partners In Health in Rwanda, and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Scott has completed three years of medical school and is currently a fifth-year student in the PhD Program in Health Policy and Management. His work is supported by the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, the Weiss Family Program Fund, the United States Agency for International Development, the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab, the UBS Optimus Foundation, the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Global Health, and the International Growth Center.

Raspberry Toy
By SweetNSalty
from Arvada, CO
I got this for my cat actually because I make my dog roll around a large kong to dispense her food for breakfast so I figured my cat might as well work hard for her food since she is a hungry savage at meal times, whereas my dog is super obedient. At first, my cat really didn't know what to do with it but seeing as how I teach her tricks like a dog, she got the hang of it. The only downside to this toy is how small the hole is - food doesn't fall out of it very easily so I had to cut away the little berry parts to make the hole bigger. I set down one piece that I cut out and my hungry hungry cat decided to lunge for it and eat it. At least it's non-toxic... Don't do that if you decide to make your hole bigger too.

Loved it! Then it broke.
By Odie
from San Francisco, CA
My dog is not a voracious chewer, but he was stoked to have his big eggplant to play with, especially with some peanut butter and low-fat treats rolling around inside. Things went well for the first round of fun, but the second time he played with it he pulled the green "leafy" portion near the big hole off the eggplant. He could've easily choked on it or swallowed it. Fortunatley I caught it before that happened. I still let him play with it (even though the green part doesn't safely re-attach so the hole is almost too big now), but I would never leave him alone with it. And he's a mellow mannered dog - imagine what a real chewer would do!

There are no cons, except that it is small enough to loose easily, so I'm getting a second one. My fur baby has sooo much fun with it. Maybe with two of them, I'll always know where at least one is.
Fantastic Entertainer
By Basset Mom
from Fort Wayne, IN
My basset is a very aggressive chewer and I was trying to find something that might last a day. I have to say that he doesn't chew on his strawberry and artichoke. He throws them and pounces on them. He will do this for an hour straight. They kept me sane during the winter when the snow was too deep to walk him.

The tie between energy supply, population, and the economy goes back to the hunter-gatherer period. Hunter-gatherers managed to multiply their population at least 4-fold, and perhaps by as much as 25-fold, by using energy techniques which allowed them to expand … Continue reading

Diner Reviews
Acacia is a wonderful restaurant
to have in the Van Ness neighborhood. It is great on its own -- great food, wine, etc. But it is especially appreciated here. The owner and servers could not be nicer or more helpful, and the chef continues to make creative, delicious dishes."
Dined on 3/1/2014
We came with great anticipation.
We left declaring this as our worst dining experience ever--and we're fond of eating out. The food was fair, and start to finish the service was unacceptable. At the host stand we were ignored for at least 7 minutes and had to find someone to seat us. Finally seated, we were presented an over-priced V-day pre-fixe meal menu. Though the restaurant called to confirm our visit, we were never informed that pre-fixe was the ONLY option. Still, despite the limited menu with the world's smallest crab cake, the items served were out of order and with very long waits between selections. The sounds of our stomachs grumbling were outweighed by the voices of the kitchen and service staff screaming at one another."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I believe the owner of this
restaurant wanted my husband and I to have a wonderful time dining on Valentine's Day. However this special occasion was a bit challenging for this restaurant. They were late in seating us and the service was slow. The waiter did not appear to truly be a waiter. He was missing the charm and knowledge of a good service provider. Our meals were fine, but nothing special. The tables were too close together and we could hear every word of our neighboring table. We recommend less patrons and a more manageable menu. Keep working on it."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Our reservation was at 6. They
told us to arrive early because they were completely full and would be busy. That being said, we arrived at 5:45 and the staff was not ready and we were the first ones in the restaurant. We walked in and the staff was arguing over which table was 12. The server was nervous and had did not know much about the menu. Not 100% sure of the menu e asked him for recommendations, he had none. A different woman brought us our first course and asked if we wanted to add the wine pairings. Also, the food was OK at best. My chicken tasted like something I have made at home many times and the cake was crumbly and seemed old or like it had been sitting out all day. I was extremely disappointed and will not be back."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We frequently dne at Acacia
Bistro. There are many elegant and unusual options for vegetarians as well as for carnivores. The soups are always a favorite. Don't miss the chocolate lava cake. The service is always excellent and the staff always offer warm greetings."
Dined on 1/24/2014
Acacia may seem stark from the
outside, but the food and the service are brilliant. They clearly understand how to create a great dining experience from using high quality ingredients to offering a thoughtful wine list to providing even people with food issues (e.g., gluten) a wonderful array of dishes to choose from. The service is low in pretention and high in food knowledge and caring about the people around the table. Go with their wine suggestions and go hungry!"
Dined on 1/17/2014
This was our first visit to Acacia
and we found it attractive. They did seem understaffed that day. It took a while for us to be greeted even though there were few occupied tables. After we were seated, it took perhaps 10 minutes before our waiter appeared. We ordered and then waited an hour for our sandwiches. They were delicious. Then it took another 10 minutes to flag down our waiter for the check. In all, a quick sandwich lunch kept us in a nearly empty restaurant for two hours. The staff was polite but largely unavailable. What could have been a nice lunch experience was made annoying because the restaurant wasn't staffed appropriately."

Great food; terrific personal
attention by host/owner interesting Meditarranean cuisine"
Dined on 11/15/2013
After visiting Acacia at lunch and
happy hour, I was excited about taking a group of friends there for dinner. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to my hopes. The service and wine selection were highlights, but our meals were uneven in quality. Two people ordered a pasta that was mediocre -- both complained that the dish was lacking in flavor, even though the menu description suggested that it would be a very flavorful dish. However, two of us enjoyed our meals a great deal, so it was awkward to be enthusiastic about our meals while our companions had 'buyer's' remorse' about theirs. Consequently, I would not recommend the restaurant to others for dinner unless/until I had another -- hopefully better -- experience there."
Dined on 10/21/2013
We are so glad the bufallo burger
is back! I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the embassies nearby."
Dined on 11/12/2013
Acacia Bistro has terrific food,
with a menu of both small and main course dishes. There's a mild Middle Eastern bent to the restaurant but it's better categorized as eclectic. Dishes like kale salad, seared tuna, scallops, pastas, are uniformly good and nicely presented. It's a relatively small restaurant so the noise level is quite manageable. A real find."
Dined on 11/7/2013
I have eaten here many times and
have never been disappointed - and this time was no different. The food is fresh and prepared wonderfully. The service is also terrific."
Dined on 10/20/2013
Introduced a friend to this
restaurant on this visit. We were both happy with the whole experience. She said she will return."
Dined on 9/20/2013
Have enjoyed Acacia in the past
but were disappointed with our last visit. The waitress was indifferent and when we asked for her opinion of an entree she responded dully " I have never seen anyone order that and don't even know if we have it!" We had to ask for water and bread after she said it would be right over, never took our appetizer plates off the table when dinner was served so we did! The food was just warm so was returned to warm up with no apologies. She left for the evening walking by us without saying anything. However the evening was redeemed by another waitress DeDe who couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. They did start closing everything down by 9 which we thought was early for a Friday. Would have stayed longer!"
Dined on 8/10/2013
Prices are high for the quantity
of food. The lamb sausage pannini, for example, had good quality bread and the sausage was good but there was very little of it. Some dishes were too greasy and the talpia sandwich was bland."
Dined on 7/22/2013
Acacia is a delightful place to
dine. The food is interesting and delicious. Best of all is the nice and welcoming environment provided by the owner and the staff of the restaurant. Wonderful for almost any occasion."
Dined on 7/7/2013
Do not recommend the food (risotto
was good but prosciutto, breads, etc. terrible); service inexperienced, slow and/or difficult to communicate with."
Dined on 6/27/2013
We had several small plates, many
of which were very good with the exception of the kale salad, which was dry and waaaaaay too much (there's only so much kale one person can eat). The service was good and we enjoyed ourselves."
Dined on 6/15/2013
We had the 3 cheese and meat
charcuterie boards then ordered 3 dishes from the small plates. Their by the glass selection was pretty good however the first glass I had was a bit off like the bottle had been opened for a while. I didn't send it back just switched to something else afterwards. They were out of the blue cheese but the rest of the selections were nice. Of the small plates the risotto was good nothing special but not bad. The gnocchi however was not, they were greasy and the mushrooms completely overshadowed the honey and white truffle. By far the best dish was the shrimp on a bed of paprika aioli and bulger wheat. While it was fine, it was overpriced. For the money there are too many great restaurants to return there."
Dined on 6/6/2013
Had read a number of good reviews
of this restaurant in otherwise restaurant desert near Van Ness. Went at lunch and food and service were subpar, not busy either. Not worth a visit unless you are in need of something in the neighborhood."
Dined on 5/31/2013
Unbelievably great food. Four
"small plates" more than adequate for two people. The kale salad and Brussel sprouts were superbly prepared and served, as were the other two dishes. A truly wonderful AND healthy dining experience. GREAT!"
Dined on 5/23/2013
We've been going to Acacia Bistro
ever since it opened. We usually order a variety of small plates rather than entrees; salads are always good. The chef goes heavy on salt but is happy to oblige salt-free requests. Desserts can be hit-or-miss: tart shells tend to be thick and on the hard side. Try the berry cobbler if it's on the menu; the ricotta walnut cake was a winner."
Dined on 5/21/2013
The food was delicious - the
lentil soup, the salad, the risotto...it was perfect for a graduation dinner and for my parents to meet and talk with my boyfriend's parents!"
Dined on 5/18/2013
Went to Mother's Day brunch.
Apparently, two of their staff did not show up and the result was a disaster. Very slow service, very disorganized. With 3 kids, it was a nightmare! They were very apologetic, but seemed incapable of making any adjustments. Maybe just bad luck....but if they had handled it better, I might have given it another chance....but I won't."
Dined on 5/12/2013
We went to Acacia for
post-graduation Brunch. We waited 45mins. just to order. Had to ask for water after 45min. Horribly understaffed. The food was good, but the experience was the worst!,,,"
Dined on 5/12/2013
Came here after work with a group
of work friends and we really enjoyed ourselves! We all decided to get a few small plates so we could try out a few things as well as some drinks. The wines we a hit as well as the mojitos with fresh mint grown from the restaurant's own herb garden! For small plates we tried the cigar börek (turkish cheese pastry) which was on special, the oven-roasted brussel sprout dish, the hand-toasted ricotta gnocchi with wild mushrooms and the vegetable risotto. All were fantastic! Really incredible! Then we decided to split the chocolate ganache tart which comes out deliciously warm with a side of homemade vanilla bean ice cream. I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our meal! We'll be back!"
Dined on 5/10/2013
Close to Dutch Embassy and a great
place to have a quick meal before attending an event!"
Dined on 4/30/2013
In a neighborhood (Van Ness) where
there are almost no restaurants for grownups, Acacia is a gem. They have great mediterranean food, many interesting specials, and delicious desserts. It is a lovely atmosphere and they also have outside tables when the weather is warm."
Dined on 5/1/2013
excellent menu, much improved in
the last year. service could have been a little more attentive"

Charming maitre d' from Istanbul.
Great service; very good food."
Dined on 4/25/2013
Food was fantastic. Great
menu! Trying to "get by" with one server during lunch will loose them move customers than worth the labor $. It took over 2 hours for lunch - we weren't in a rush but, the delay between ordering appetizers/delivery and re-checks after entree were VERY noticeable. Would only recommend if not in a rush or not trying to impress a client."
Dined on 4/16/2013
Food was creative, well-prepared.
Sad that the tap beers weren't available. Amazing dessert selections."
Dined on 4/12/2013
Acacia is our go-to neighborhood
place. The current chef is more adventurous than the founder, but the food is still very good - especially the specials. They tend to go heavy on the salt. I ask for no salt and it comes out fine. Desserts are hit-or-miss. Last time 2 of 3 desserts (berry cobbler and chocolate ganache) were very good, pecan pie was so-so. The cobbler was baked to order."
Dined on 4/12/2013
Really a pleasant surprise. A
neighborhood restaurant that is much more than it appears! We will go back."
Dined on 4/12/2013
Acacia is a lovely bistro, with
very good food, and a wonderful feel to it. The waiters are very helpful, and we are very fortunate to have this gem in our neighborhood."
Dined on 3/23/2013
Acacia Bistro wants to be a
neighborhood place with good food and drink. It is an attractive place with a nice bar and very outstanding bartender. Acacia has a decent Happy Hour until 7:30pm with nice nibbles at the bar area. The owner is omnipresent, and that can be very helpful. Acacia is still evolving--and doing so in the right direction."
Dined on 3/20/2013
We had a wonderful dinner -- the
food was excellent and the service very attentive. The menu provides a range of options, with fresh ingredients."

(CE: 1589b) MENAS OF AL-ASHMUNAYN, SAINT, or Menas the Ascetic, a "new martyr," who was killed after the Arab conquest (feast day: 17 Amshir). According to the SYNAXARION, he was born at Akhmim of Christian parents who were farmers. He received the call to the monastic life quite early and became a monk in a monastery at Akhmim. Later he went to a monastery near al- Ashmunayn. Having heard that the Arabs denied that God had a Son, he went off after obtaining the authorization of the superior of the monastery, outside the town of al-Ashmunayn, to find the leader of the Muslim army, and asked him if he truly denied that God had a Son. When the commander affirmed that he did, Menas quoted the Gospel of John: "He who believes in the Son shall have eternal life, and he who does not believe in the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God shall descend upon him." The commander flew into a violent rage, and ordered that Menas should be cut in pieces and thrown into the Nile. The faithful gathered him together, and celebrated his feast on the anniversary of his death. RENÉ-GEORGES COQUIN

The main mission of the Fire Program of the Bakersfield Field Office is to protect life, property and natural resources (in that order) from wildland fire. Our office has primary responsibility for protecting 1.5 million acres of land from wildfire. This includes 250,000 acres of State and privately owned land, as well as public lands managed by the BLM.
Our Fire staff consists of 35 full-time employees. During fire season, our work force rises to about 80 people, including a Hot Shot Firefighting Crew and engine crews. (We accept job applications for seasonal firefighter jobs in December, long before fire season starts.) Besides our fire staff, other employees of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) support the fire program in many ways, from providing necessary administrative support to firefighting.
The Bakersfield Field Office works cooperatively with many other federal, state and county agencies and fire departments. Besides providing immediate assistance on fires in Kern County, BLM firefighters and equipment are dispatched throughout the United States, wherever and whenever assistance is needed to fight wildland fires.
The Bakersfield Field Office operates 8 BLM fire stations from mid-April through the end of October each year. (Most wildfires occur during July and August, when lightning activity and use of the public lands are highest.) Our fire stations are at Chimney Peak, South Fork, Midway, Kernville, and Bakersfield. The station Kernville is are operated jointly by both the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.
The Bakersfield BLM "Metro" fire station, located at the Bakersfield Field Office, includes the shop building and fire warehouse (where other firefighting equipment and supplies are kept). Our fire dozer is kept at the US Forest Service Kernville fire station. During fires, our Interagency Dispatch Center in Porterville is open around the clock to provide aerial and ground firefighting support.
Uncontrolled fires can be destructive, however wildland fires are also a fundamental part of natural ecosystems. Without fire, the health of some vegetative types would be jeopardized. For this reason, occasional "prescribed burns" are carefully planned and conducted by BLM fire specialists to benefit specific areas. Prescribed fires can improve habitat for wildlife and domestic livestock, help trees and other vegetation regenerate, and prevent the accumulation of excess vegetation that may fuel wildland fires.
Two-thirds of the fires on the public lands are caused by people. To help prevent fires, the Bakersfield BLM has an active outreach program to teach people about the hazards of wildland fires. We join with the U.S. Forest Service and other agencies to present various fire prevention messages, including the Smokey Bear program.

Local children get the chance to interview college athletes one-on-onePADUCAH, KY-- There's no question kids love field trips, especially when it's to a baseball game. But there has to be a certain learning aspect to a field trip, and that came on Monday when about three-hundred local children had the chance to interview college club baseball players. "I was a little overwhelmed," admitted Michael Morales, an outfielder from Kennesaw State. "They just kept on coming, and coming, it didn't really stop." "It was intimidating," said Dan Sharpe, a pitcher for the Maryland club baseball team. "It was a cool experience though." Most of the children just wanted to know how college life is like. "When you grow up, if you don't go to college, you won't be able to do what you wanted to do," said Kolby Keller, a student at Unity Elementary School in Brookport. "They look up to us," said Sharpe. "So we have to give back to them, let them know that we can connect with them, and that they can aspire to be us, it's possible." The National Club Baseball World Series wraps up with the championship game on Tuesday, at 2:00 PM. Follow WPSD Sports on Facebook by clicking here. |
