Editor's Note: Each of the 11 candidates running for a seat on the township's Board of Education responded to a questionnaire sent by Brick Patch. Their answers to our questions will be published on our site verbatim. Candidate profiles, in alphabetical order according to last name, will appear through Friday until all have been published. We have disabled comments on profile articles to ensure the candidates' statements speak for themselves and readers can decide, without additional, anonymous commentary, their view on those running for office.
Full Name: Susan Suter
Current Age : (No answer provided.)
Current Occupation: Dental Assistant
Highest Level of Education Achieved (optional: include degree/institution)
Attended University of South Carolina (Columbia, SC) and Keystone Junior College (Laplume, PA), Dental Assistant Certification; Dental Radiology License
Are you employed by a public school district?
Have you ever previously held an elected office in Brick or elsewhere?
Yes, currently a Board of Education Member
Question 1: The issue of school district facilities is frequently on the minds on Brick residents. Please describe your specific priorities in terms of where tax dollars and capital funding should be directed for facilities projects. Do you favor looking into the possibility of holding a referendum for a future capital outlay?
As a member of the current Board of Education,facility improvements were prioritized by academic need and safety. Approximately $2.7 million was spent to renovate BTHS Science Labs to offer students a more challenging curriculum. Safety was given top priority when deciding which facility improvements to complete. To name a few projects completed/approved without additional funds from taxpayers are replacing BTHS bleachers which were not structurally sound; installing a new track at BMHS track since it was condemned; replacing window balances at LRMS; installing a dehumidification system at the EEC to avoid mold; installing new emergency lighting and exit signs at VMMS.
I would continue prioritizing facility improvements by academic needs and safety moving forward. The cost to hold an election for a referendum is approximately $80,000. Due to the economic times, I do not believe a referendum is in the best interest of the community. This Board of Education is continuously working toward staying within the $144 million budget while improving curriculum and buildings.
Question 2: Some members of the community have voiced concern over the rigor of the district's academic program, as well as the availability of honors and advanced placement courses at the high school level. What specific policy steps do you feel the district should be taking to ensure students receive a rigorous and competitive college preparatory education in our public school system?
Modifying the 4X4 block within both High Schools is crucial in providing a rigorous education for each student. Offer classes, like Math and World Language, on an A/B schedule so they run all year long and there are no long gaps between blocks. Scheduling A/P classes every other day would allow students the opportunity to take more electives or additional A/P classes. Initiating the one-on-one laptop for every High School Senior will engage students in the classroom and enhance instruction. Altering the master schedule will allow more flexibility for each student's needs. The District should also be creating their own assessments to ensure students are retaining content material.
Students need to be competitive locally, nationally and globally whether applying for college, a trade school or the workforce.
Question 3: Full day kindergarten is becoming more common in public school districts, and there is the possibility that the state could mandate its availability in the coming years. Describe your support for, or opposition to, such a program in Brick. If it becomes a mandate, what approach would you take towards implementing a cost effective full-day kindergarten program for the Brick district?
Brick School District needs to take the initiative and implement programs that are beneficial to the students. We should not wait for the State to mandate adding a new program or revising a curriculum. Numerous studies on full day Kindergarten show instilling education early improves student performance. A demographic study will be underway in the District and the outcome of that study will result in where we need to allocate additional funds to implement full day Kindergarten.
Question 4: It is no secret that New Jersey – specifically, its suburban communities – has the nation's highest property taxes. What specific ideas do you have to generate revenue or realize savings in order to stabilize the tax rate, while maintaining a proper scholastic program for students?
School Districts need to come up with ways to generate revenue other than the taxpayer.
Locating sponsors, advertising in schools, and hosting indoor and outdoor sports tournaments are a few ways to raise funds. However, we need to be fiscally responsible and work within the budget. Realizing the importance of increasing the standards in the curriculum and repairing our facilities while staying within our budget is a goal of this Board member now and for the next three years. This past year, I voted for a 0% tax increase and to give back $1.3 million to the taxpayers. With those two decisions, numerous facility projects have been completed/approved and positive changes are occurring in curriculum.

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- Senator Dick Durbin and Congressman Bill Enyart were on the Mississippi on Monday watching the Army Corps of Engineers and Coast Guard working to clear the river.
Drought conditions have dropped river levels, making it hard for some boats and ships to move along the river. There are predictions the river could drop even more in the next week or two. Barges are getting stuck and that has meant economic trouble for commerce. Durbin says getting river levels up could be tricky.
"Now that doesn't mean that the decision that's made is going to be non-controversial and maybe end up in court, but the word from the White House is, 'Everything is on the table to keep this river flowing'," said Durbin.
Senator Durbin and other Midwestern lawmakers want more water diverted to the Mississippi from the Missouri River something the Army Corp of Engineers says it legally can't do.

Appeal after Nantwich man left with serious leg injury following Crewe crash
12:00pm Thursday 24th April 2014 in News
POLICE are appealing for information following a serious road traffic collision in Crewe.
At around 1.25pm on Saturday, April 19 a black Mercedes car was in collision with a motorcycle on Mill Street, close to its junction with Herdman Street.
The motorcyclist, a 51-year-old man from Nantwich, suffered a serious leg injury and was taken to North Staffs University Hospital for treatment.
Officers are appealing for information and, in particular, would like to speak to the driver of a white Fiat 500 car who was travelling along Mill Street and may have witnessed the collision.
Anyone with information is urged to call Cheshire Police on 101, quoting incident 463 of 19/4/2014.
Information can also be given anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Pope Benedict XVI: Reshaped papacy raises questions for church futureComment
Pope Benedict XVI has reshaped the papacy simply by giving it up. But scholars say the repercussions could reach beyond just changing how pontiffs leave to ultimately shape perceptions about the authority and significance of the pontificate.

By BRIAN SANDALOWAssociated Press
CHICAGO (AP) - Matt Garza pitched into the ninth inning and Anthony Rizzo hit his first home run since May 18 to lead the Chicago Cubs over the Houston Astros 3-1 on Friday after a rain delay that lasted more than 3 hours.
The subject of trade speculation, Garza (2-1) allowed four hits and struck out eight in eight-plus innings for his first win since beating Arizona on May 31.
Garza, who threw seven scoreless innings last Sunday against the Mets but did not get a decision, walked Jose Altuve to begin the ninth and was replaced by Kevin Gregg, who earned 11th save in 11 tries.
Chris Carter broke up Garza's shutout bid with a leadoff homer in the seventh. Carter's 15th home run was a sharp line drive to right-center.

Gnome's Brasero burning tool
Gnome's integrated burning tool is fine for simple tasks, but if you need to do more than just back up a couple of documents on a CD, you might prefer a more powerful program like Brasero.
KDE users have an easy option – K3b [1] gives them a powerful suite of burning tools that integrates perfectly with the desktop. Although GnomeBaker [2] is a functional Gtk alternative, GnomeBaker has never achieved the popularity of the KDE application. This has led to users installing K3b on many a Gnome machine and to K3b's undoubtedly justified reputation as the reference application among burning tools.
The launch of Brasero [3] marks a new competitor entering the market. Brasero version 0.5.2 lists an impressive feature set that helps facilitate burning on Gnome.

Jobs & Economic Development
State Senator José Rodríguez is working to expand El Paso's economy by supporting development of new, emerging industries that will provide high tech, high wage, environmentally clean jobs, such as the growing health care industry, defense related industry attracted by the expansion of Fort Bliss, and a viable alternative energy industry. José will also support development of public and private job training programs including apprenticeship programs; payment of prevailing wage rates in public works projects; and livable wages for all workers. [Read a report on José's 2010 Community Forum on Increasing Job Opportunities & Reducing Poverty]
To help the District 29 State Senate office create legislative proposals José has established the Jobs & Economic Development Advisory Committee.
This committee was formed in February, 2012. This committee continues the work begun by the Advisory Committee on Increasing Jobs & Eliminating Poverty, which had several meetings in 2011. The meetings held in 2011 focused on reinforcing the pathways to successful jobs and careers. The committee also discussed financial literacy and various financial literacy training modules.
The committee was restructured in February of 2012 into two distinct groups to better reflect Senator Rodríguez's priorities. The Green Jobs committee will focus on jobs created by the renewable energy sector while the Heritage Tourism committee will capitalize on the community's extensive historical assets.
Green Jobs
Chair: to be determined
Staffed by: Cecilia Rodriguez
Meeting Dates: To better leverage the work of both committees, the Green Jobs committee will meet immediately following the Renewable Energy committee meetings, which take place on the first Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Meeting Location: Senate district office (100 N. Ochoa St., Suite A, El Paso, TX 79901)
Areas of Interest: strengthen existing relationships between private sector companies working in renewable energy and training programs at EPCC, labor unions, and other institutions.
Special Projects for 2012: to be determined
Heritage Tourism
Chair: Carmen Rodríguez
Staffed by: Corinne Chacón
Meeting Date: to be determined
Meeting Location: Meetings are held at various locations. Please contact Ms. Corinne Chacón at (915) 351-3500 for updates on locations.
Areas of Interest: advocate for cohesive and comprehensive preservation and promotion of the community's extensive historical and cultural assets

St. John's surging into Arizona, 2 wins from CWS - MLB - SI.com
"We have three front-line starters who can go out any day and get us a W,'' junior outfielder Jeremy Baltz said. "They all pitched great last weekend, gave us wins, and I think that's what sets us apart.'' Since the NCAA expanded its tournament to 64 teams and added the super regional round in 1999, St. John's has never gotten this far. The Red Storm have gotten close, though, having been to the regionals eight times in Ed Blankmeyer's 17 seasons as coach. While the school might be known more for basketball with Lou Carnesecca, Chris Mullin, Mark Jackson, Walter Berry and Malik Sealy gracing the hardwood over the years, the baseball program has also been a big hit - albeit perhaps a bit under the radar. The Red Storm's 34 NCAA appearances rank tied for eighth, among some of the traditional baseball powerhouses such Texas, Florida State and Miami. They also have been to the College World Series six times, but a 32-year absence and the lack of a consistent presence in Omaha by cold-weather programs had some wondering if St. John's could ever get back.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Closed for more than a year, Cyrus O'Leary's is being demolished.
For over 3 decades, Cyrus O'Leary's fed Spokane and created memories for thousands of families.
Its distinctive look inside and out made it stand out among the other buildings surrounding it in downtown Spokane.
The restaurant is now empty as it begins to disappear.
Last September the eatery on Main and Washington closed its doors for the last time.
Owner Erkki Oranen says a steady decline in sales and business left him unable to afford their lease.
Property owners have yet to make a final decision on what to do with the site once the building is gone.
The good news is even though the restaurant is gone, their famous pies are sticking around.
The factory in Airway Heights has not been effected by the closing of the restaurant and are still available in local grocery stores.

Sarasota Sayonara
The Cincinnati Reds have used Sarasota as their Spring Training facility for the past twelve years. But taxpayers and politicians have said a gracious, "No thanks," whenever the Reds asked for upgrades to the facilities, and so following this year, their Spring Training home will be in Goodyear, Arizona, which is where their first camp was. Way back in 1891.
Oddly, to celebrate the middle finger they're giving Sarasota, the Reds invited Mayor Lou Ann Palmer, who was booed by the fewer than 3,000 fans – less than half the capacity of Ed Smith Stadium – who bothered to show up.
The boos may have been a little misguided. Though the Reds offered to sign a long-term
lease if the facility was upgraded, local politicians would not commit the necessary $18 million for the project, and in 2007, voters declined a stadium tax hike. That prompted the Reds to take their show on the road.
I appreciate the verve of the Sarasotans, booing the politicians for declining to give money that the fans themselves voted not to give, but I wonder if they've forgotten that the Sarasota Reds still have to play 70 games in Ed Smith.
If they're not careful, every night might turn into Sarasota County Little League Night.
Incidentally, the Dodgers are playing the Angels right now, and I just heard something I hope I never hear again: Mark Loretta is up now, batting for Manny Ramirez.

Loretta for Manny. Hilarious. I feel your pain… but I don't think that's gonna be the norm ;-)

Drawing on ancient Buddhist mindfulness practices and tools from positive psychology, pioneering psychotherapist Ronald Alexander guides us to create a new personal vision that can weather the storms of change and upheaval. We learn to build mindstrength, the ability to calm thoughts and emotions, even in uncertain times. In this healing retreat, we gain tools for transforming painful, afflictive, and destructive emotions into wholesome, positive ones; and discover ways to access our core creative unconscious to open new possibilities for living, loving, working, and relating. As we see our crises and loss as symbolic cycles of death and rebirth, renewal and change, we can harness the art of creative transformation to enliven a fresh, unique and more positive future. The weekend will offer mindfulness meditation, Gestalt practice, Ericksonian trance, music, creative writing, breathing techniques, somatic psychology, and more, as healing practices to open ourselves to joy, contentment, and vitality.

9Quotables: Some Heiress is Going to Tick Off a Lot of People With Her Anti-Eating Comments
"I'll eat when I'm dead! If I eat, I can't work."
This, coming from a woman who drinks only Ensure supplements and Red Bull and calls it a day (no, seriously). The woman is Daphne Guinness, and she's the heiress to the same-named beer franchise. She's also a fashion designer, but unless you're 6'3″ and wear a children's size 14, you're not invited. And I know she's only forty-two, but she looks about sixty. I suppose that's what happens when you avoid water, calories, fat, savory tastes, and anything that doesn't taste like creamed chalk. Woo?

She's from Ireland, a country known by it's own inhabitants as the "World's Largest Mental Institution."
She needs to learn how to multitask. I can definitely eat and work at the same time. Of course, it's possible that her excuse is bogus because she has a serious neurosis…
Wow, I seriously thought she was in her sixties. Icky!
the guinesses are anglo-irish – they're not "from ireland", they'd turn their noses up at any of the local celtic peasants.
she's a mitford granddaughter which goes some way to explaining the foot in the mouth issues.
And when she dies in 10 years from congestive heart, kidney, and/or liver failure, she may regret her current mindset.
Ensure actually tastes good. Haha, sorry, I know that's not the point of this post, but you know..just FYI.
…and here I thought it was just a rumor that Tinkerbell was a crackhead!
Well at least she's not making an eating disorder look beautiful, she doesn't look fragile she looks like a pensioner!
Holy shit…

My Turn by Diane Douglas
Among the most egregious, disrespectful — albeit legal — actions an outgoing board or council can make is to needlessly hasten the approval of long-term contracts or agreements immediately prior to newly elected representatives taking office.
There is no legitimate excuse for the actions taken by the Peoria Unified School District governing board during the final meeting of the year. By majority vote (4-1), it approved a new contract for the superintendent — 6½ months early and before two newly elected members took their seats on the board last week.
The No. 1 responsibility of a school board is hiring the superintendent. Whether or not the new members have expressed concern over this action by the current board is irrelevant. The community is entitled to the benefit of their input with regards to arguably the most important contract into which the board enters.
The current agreement, a third-party contract, does not expire until June30.
By virtue of their election, the incoming members are most certainly entitled to be party to a contract that doesn't begin until 6 months after they are sworn-in. Likewise, it is inappropriate for outgoing board members to be party to such a contract.
The new contract, which ends in 2015, was approved without their input or the courtesy of an explanation into the salary/benefits increase and length being offered. The vote bound these new board members for more than half of their term in office.
For all intent and purposes, the first public disclosure of the contract was the night it was approved.
The motion was for the board to "approve as presented," meaning as discussed in executive session or available for public review 24 hours before the meeting.
This new contract may be in line with the prevailing salaries of superintendents in peer districts.
However, that rate is being driven up by retired superintendents being rehired by boards across the state. But the shame is on the Legislature for not fixing the "double dipping" caused by employees able to draw retirement benefits from the system long before they intend to end their working careers — but that's another article.
I have repeatedly listened as board members question the adequacy of administration's collaboration with "stakeholders" in decision-making; however, when it comes to their willingness to collaborate with their newest stakeholders on the board about this decision, suddenly their tune changes dramatically.
There is nothing wrong with the current board beginning these negotiations. But to cut the new members out of a decision that is rightfully theirs is shameful.
To have taken this action in December rather than the first regular board meeting this month is nothing more than the arrogance of power and utter disrespect for the new members, the taxpayers and the election process.
It is "governance" at its worst.
Diane Douglas served on the PUSD governing board from 2005 to 2012.

The Fisher Price Zen Collection includes a cradle swing, infant seat, bassinet, and high chair in new, gender-neutral designs. Featuring fabric in browns and lime green and wood accents, the pieces are meant to be soothing for infants and more complementary to parents' home décor.

Has anyone found extra fabric for sale? Would like to use it for accessories. tjhansen 5 years i am a fosterparent and take newborns and have owned soooo many different brands/pieces of baby equipment. This is truly my favorite!! I have the swing and the vibrating seat, the babies really seem to like the soothing sounds and I LOVE the stylish look of the pieces. Dont mind at all having them sitting around, they blend in with my decor. Would highly recommend. Kimpossible 6 years These are cool.

Fisher Price isn't classy so why pretend? nicolevanmeter 6 years I don't have kids yet so I'm not in the market, but I love it. When I do have children I would much rather something that blends in with my decor rather than being too kids like. HipMom 6 years I don't really like it, except for the highchair. I agree with asco00, Fisher Price doesn't really scream "zen"! :-D milosmommy 6 years I think it looks awesome. Too bad it couldn't have come out last before my baby was born. Oh well. :) asco00 6 years I think that it will fit in with decor, however I think it's kind of silly it's called the "zen" collection. Seems a little anti-zen to me lol. Commercialism at it's best. Rhiannon 6 years I love this whole line. I saw it on Amazon, I hope to check it out in person before adding it to my registry.

- stinking roseOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014It was okay. I ordered a pasta with an incredibly small service get size which is okay but it was not good at all. However I liked the food my fiance ordered. The servers were wonderful!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Garlic, Garlic Everywhere!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014From the moment we came in until dessert was served The Stinking Rose provided quality food and service. Nicole, our server, was friendly, attentive, and prompt with service. The wine list was very good and for our main courses we chose the Meatloaf and Tomato Pasta. Be sure to try the Garlic Ice Cream. It was a little pricey, but worth the money. Note, if you are not a fan of garlic this might not be the place for you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OverpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/24/2014The meals were remarkably overpriced. No veggie included with the salmon diner, $9 for cremed spinach as an add on. Ha. The service was good its ashame the food was not up to the friendly service.
- Perfect stinky experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014I heard about The Stinking Rose on a traveling channel at least 10 years ago, and now that I was finally in San Francisco (from Indianapolis), I had to go! It did not disappoint. We put in reservations, which was a great idea as there was a line at the door. Each person I interacted with was very nice, and our server was the sweetest. The food was amazing - fresh, delicious, and full of garlic! We were even given a huge sample of the garlic ice cream, which I wasn't into, but the gesture was kind! I'd definitely return next time I'm in San Fran!Special Features:
- Must really want garlic!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014The food was good, not great but quite overpriced and under accompanied.Who want a huge rack of ribs and no veggies?? Not me. Still a fun place but too expensive for a family. And must looovve garlic. Its everywhereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food excellent serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014This is a great place to treat family and friends. Great food with excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingTheRoadTripDined on 8/20/2014The food and service were amazing. The 40 bulb chicken was to die for. They sell a recipe book with all the recipes in which was a must for us to buy, can not wait to try and recreate the meals we had. Allow lots of time for parking as that was a nightmare.Special Features:
- DinnerDee07Dined on 8/19/2014Good food, gotta love GARLIC.. Service was great and friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Okay, but gimmicky.Foodie74Dined on 8/19/2014I'm a hardcore garlic fan, but my hope was that the food could stand up to the garlic. The food was fine, but not amazing, with lots of garlic in some places and not enough in others. The garlic mashed potatoes actually didn't have enough garlic, and my chicken dish had plenty of garlic cloves on the side, but not enough garlic seasoning the actual chicken. Glad I went but probably wouldn't go again given the wealth of really good restaurants in San Francisco.
- Delicious FoodOkeyDokeyDined on 8/18/2014We came here primarily for the garlic and weren't disappointed. The food was delicious, and I mixed our bagna cauda and the fresh garlic relish with just about everything. I had the arugula salad with garlic dressing and the forty clove chicken dish. The bagna cauda is served on a little flame so it stays warm, which is great. I really llked the cozy atmosphere of the "Chianti Room" where we were seated. As we were leaving, I noticed how loud and frenetic the rest of the restaurant was, and I made a mental note never to sit anywhere other than the Chianti Room. I don't think I would have enjoyed dining in a different part of the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Garlic GaloreTalltiff21Dined on 8/17/2014It was definitely fun tasting all the garlic menu items the have available. We tasted quite a few things which resulted in us smelling like garlic all through the night. I'm sure I'll go again in the future and try some other garlic flavored items. Overall everything was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing ExperienceCalcougarVIPDined on 8/16/2014I've been to The Stinking Rose several time, but this was one of the most disappointing visits. The pork chop was smaller than my previous visits and was way overcooked, which resulted in a tough, chewy meat. The beef short rib was bland and was also a small portion. We waited a long time for our food. People around us who came after we arrived, received their food and completely ate it before ours arrived. I guess they needed the time to overcook the pork chop!
- Great food and ambianceSunsetcliffs68fDined on 8/16/2014It was my wife's birthday and I reserved a table and told them it was her birthday they were great everyone from the manager to the waitress. The drinks and the food was amazing we love garlic and enjoyed everything we ordered.. We are from San Diego and it was a great experience would recommend to all my friends and family. Our table was private and had our own chandelier my wife loved it and her birthday was a success! Thank you stinking rose! 😎Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All I can say is, "WOW!"GarlicLoverDined on 8/16/2014We visited San Fran from Washington State, when I asked people what to do there, most all of them said that we had to eat at the Stinking Rose. Based on those recommendations, we did, and we don't regret our decision. The bill was high, however, we ordered more food than we should have, but we wanted to experience most items on the menu, and I am glad we did. Had we ordered a normal amount of food, the bill would have been normal....when people aske me what to do in San Francisco, I will most definately say, Eat at the Stinking Rose, it's a must! The service was great too. We made reservations, and even though there was a line to get in, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. It is a noisy restaurant, but its a good noise!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Food & Fun!Di4winenfoodDined on 8/16/2014Garlic!! What a concept! This was such a great way to end our girlfriends trip to California! Not only is the menu fun, but the food is really good as well! If you're fortunate enough to have a birthday to celebrate, don't pass up this opportunity to have the staff sing to "little stinky" who will be wearing the garlic hat!Special Features:
- Great food! Fantastic tiramisuluvtodineDined on 8/16/2014If you like garlic, you will like the food. The prime rib is excellent and so is the fish. The spinach and mashed potatoes are also good. From my point of view, the star of the show is the tiramisu. One of the best I have ever had!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal as usual but rushedGarlicMeDined on 8/15/2014I've dined at the Stinking Rose and the food as always, is fantastic. Service was generally good but far too rushed. Salad was brought out while we were in the middle of our appetizer and the meal was brought out while we were in the middle of our salad. There was a long wait for a table so I guess the restaurant was trying to rush people. The meal would have been more enjoyable if we had not felt rushed.Special Features:
- great mealprincessDined on 8/14/2014Their menu isnt as extensive as some other restaurants. What they serve they make well. We love garlic, this place is a gem!!Special Features:
- SF institution, but food's just OKVTT705Dined on 8/14/2014I have not been here in about 10 years, decided to take a few visiting friends here. Garlic is the name of the game and they don't lie. We had the garlic spinach fondue which was basically a warm cheese dip served in a flat dish. It was not put over a flame like you expect fondue, so as it cooled it became very solid and rather unappetizing. There was some confusion with the bill moving from the bar to the table the ended up with us buying an additional glass of wine of top of a bottle, I was a bit disappointed that resolving this was so difficult as we had stated from the beginning at the bar that we wanted to bring the bottle of wine to the table with us. Overall I was a bit disappointed with experience.Special Features:
- Great Food!OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/13/2014The food is always great and the restaurant can accommodate big parties. The food was served super fast, which was great since we had a 1 year old!Special Features:
- Always love it!SuperSaverSFDined on 8/13/2014We had a gift card and were able to put it to good use. We always get the 10 oz Prime Rib and look forward to the Garlic Ice Cream. I was not too sure what happened this time around, but the Prime Rib and sides had us both stuffed and there was no room for dessert. I am now thinking of making use of the rest of the gift card to get some ice cream. It is a great place and I enjoy it everytime. We had a seat next to the window so we were able to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the outside, but still each other's company. The garlic spread is especially good since you can taste the freshness of the garlic in your nose.Special Features:
- Good for touristsMarkVIPDined on 8/13/2014This is a reasonable place for tourists. There are better options in the area, but not as kid friendly.Special Features:
- DeliciousgarlicLuverDined on 8/13/2014Great garlic dishes. Well-balanced. Awesome San Francisco atmosphere. Good location (near Chinatown for a digestive walk afterwards).Special Features:
- JdellDined on 8/9/2014Food was very good, assuming you like garlic. Came out quickly, which was nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Name Says It Alljp912eDined on 8/8/2014Any garlic lovers delight. From the fresh garlic relish to every dish well seasoned with an abundance of garlic to the delicious garlic ice cream all taking place in a vibrant fun atmosphere!Special Features:
- Great food at The Stinking RoseAnnafromItalyDined on 8/8/2014Although not what I would call authentic Italian (and I am Italian!), the food is absolutely delicious! I recommend the grilled shellfish combo which includes shrimp, crab, and mussel. My husband had the garlic roasted prime rib and it was very delicious as well. Service was great but it is not a cheap place to get dinner!Special Features:
- The mealsNielsajax100Dined on 8/8/2014In general the meals I had were okay. It was just that is was all so basic. I had the baby back ribs and they were cooked so long that they were a little bit dry.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/8/2014Neighborhood is red light district of SFO. Restaurant is a tourist destination. Service was fair, but no great effort even though we were basically the only large party at the time. Food was Just OK. Very Overpriced.
- Over-Hyped50ShadesofFlavourDined on 8/6/2014The Stinking Rose is an over-hyped tourist spot. We were seated in one of their small cabana style booths which were very cute and different looking. My daughter ordered the Black Linguine with seafood which was good. The pasta had flavor and the seafood consisted of crab claws, mussels, clams, squid and a white fish. I had the rabbit in a tomato olive sauce with six cloves of garlic in it. The rabbit was over-cooked and had no flavor. The mashed potatoes tasted fine but were over whipped and dense. The tomato sauces for both our dishes was the same with just olives added to mine; the sauces on our dishes should have tasted vastly different which they didn't. We are doing an injustice to our city by promoting these restaurants.
- Gotta love it!LolaFalanaDined on 8/5/2014I ate here for the first time 22 years ago and loved it. Came back with high expectations and wasn't disappointed. It's definitely a must when in SF!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- definitely garlicjennyDined on 8/5/2014as it's name implies, they definitely had garlic inspired dishes. the food was good, but I didn't find it necessarily memorable. There is no kids menu, but they were able to split a pizza, so that worked out. typical italian dishes. prime rib was overcooked, salmon was well done, pasta was good. the decor was a little family unfriendly.Special Features:
- So Stinkin' GoodJstvz10Dined on 8/4/2014Right on busy Columbus Ave., the Stinking Rose SF is easy to find and always busy. The food was delicious and plentiful, the server was funny, friendly and fast. Great meal and great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MelyDined on 8/3/2014Had reservation.Waited 10 mins as advised before being led to our table only to find that it wasn't ready yet.Was advised it would be ANOTHER 10 minutes.In the meantime, another same sized party who walked in after us was sat at a table.Asked front desk why and they seemed unsure (I think it was an oversight).Waited additional 15 minutes before being seated.Manager was nice and gave us 2 free desserts for our trouble.Special Features:
- Hmm.IloveSanFranDined on 8/3/2014I had looked forward to dining in this restaurant since the last time I was in SF four years ago. Sadly, my expectations were not met. The fettuccine was dry and the appetizer was lukewarm. Next time I'll go back to Toscana, up the street.Special Features:
- Good but expensiveMitch1953Dined on 8/2/2014My girlfriend & I went here for dinner. We arrived earlier than our reservation but did not have to wait and were seated quickly. We did not want to sit next to a table with a baby so we asked for a different table and was moved to a different room. Very accommodating! We liked the food but when the bill came I had to add it up twice to believe the cost. It is quite expensive. I highly recommend the garlic ice cream but it should contain more garlic as it was too subtle to notice for my partner. The food is definitely worth the experience including the garlic to spread on the fresh rolls. Worth it for the experience. Also check out their t-shirts for sale.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very RomanticKarmelaDined on 8/2/2014I had a wonderful time with my very sexy date! I was able to sweep my date of their feet with the beautiful setting on the restaurant. Thank you ;-) And the waiter was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of my favoritesLMCMDined on 8/2/2014Our dinners here have been consistently delicious and the wait staff are wonderful. Recently brought out of town guests and we all had a wonderful meal. I had their signature 40 clove garlic chicken and it was wonderful. Their arugula linguine was delicious and my husband always gets the garlic potato soup which he says is fabulous.Special Features:
- Just okayHailey22VIPDined on 8/2/2014The service was not very good. We ordered a bottle of wine and had to ask three times for an ice bucket. The crab was good and the prime rib just okay. We ate at 4 pm on a Saturday before the restaurant got busy and was very disappointed with the service. I've eaten here before when traveling to San Francisco and it was much better. Maybe it was just an off day.Special Features:
- Food was not so good as expectedmoderateDined on 8/1/2014The food was this time moderate and worse than last time.Special Features:
- Very Special PlaceTobyDined on 7/31/2014Nice place with very tasty food. The unpolite service person seated us in a dark and windy corner of the restaurant allthough there were several nice and bright tables. We had to ask for a better one by ourselves. But this was not a problem. Afterwards the service was nice and perfect. Super!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Augusta Commissioners and the Augusta
Riverfront LLC agreed to build a pedestrian bridge between the Reynolds Street
parking deck and the Augusta Convention Center five months ago; but they are
still waiting for a green light to start construction.
"It's disappointing because we've
worked on this for 7, 8 years," said Paul Simon the president of the
Augusta Riverfront LLC.
His disappointment follows the
Commissions Tuesday night decision to deny funding for the sky bridge.
"Right now, to spend a million
plus dollars to construct a walkway across there, it's not the right time,"
said District Nine Commissioner Marion Williams.
The bridge would cost close to $900,000
to build and would be paid for by SPLOST dollars.
"The money is there, we saved the
money by the deck so the sales tax dollars are there to do the work," said
Simon says money isn't the issue here,
instead it's upholding their agreement, "It's about if you as a commissioner
are willing to uphold your end of the bargain and live up to the commitments
that the city has made?"
But Commissioner Williams says the
city isn't obligated to do anything right now.
"I don't think we're obligated to
build that. I think that the taxpayers have spent a lot of money on the
building, have spent a lot of money on the parking deck; right now it's just
not a good time," Williams, said.
Williams says he wants to wait and see how the Convention
Center performs before he revisits the issue.
Commissioners such as Bill Lockett say they would vote
again on the bridge in a year; but Simon says in order to honor their agreement
they should reach a decision within two to three months.

FeCONWAY, SC Coastal Carolina's men's basketball team opened the second half on a 27-6 run and cruised to a 78-61 Big South Conference win at Liberty, 78-61, Feb. 23. With their ninth consecutive victory, including four consecutive on the road, the Chanticleers moved to 17-9 and 11-4 in Big South play, while the Flames are now 7-21 and 3-12 in the conference. Coastal also snapped a four-game losing streak at the Vines Center and picked up its most wins in league play since the 1992-93 season when the Chants were 12-. CCU locked up no worse than the three seed for the upcoming Advance Auto Parts Big South Championship, while LU will be the eighth seed in the postseason event.
Liberty grabbed the early lead, building as much as a seven-point lead in the early going, 13-6 with 13:46 to go in the first. CCU chipped away and continued to battle, eventually taking the lead for good on a lay-up by forward Chad Ferguson to make it 31-30 with 2:31 remaining in the first half. After a free throw for Coastal, sophomore Jack Leasure canned a three-pointer and a jumper to make it 37-32 Coastal with under a minute to go. However, LU's Larry Blair hit a three to make it 37-35 at the intermission.
Both teams lit it up in the opening stanza, as Coastal hit 61.9 percent (13-for-21) while Liberty was 56.5 percent (13-for-23) from the field. CCU had the lead because of work at the charity stripe, as the Chants were 9-for-12 from the line in the first period.
Leasure led Coastal with 12 points in the first half, while guards Pele Paelay and Colin Stevens each chipped in five. LU was led by Blair's 12 points, while forward Rell Porter had 11.
Coastal blew the game open at the start of the second half, turning up the heat in "The Furnace" on both ends of the floor. CCU opened the half on a 27-6 run over the first 10:30 to take a commanding 64-41 lead. The Chants eventually built as much as a 29-point lead late in the game at 74-45 before removing the starters with five minutes to play.
For the game, Coastal hit on 63.6 percent (28-for-44) of its shots from the field, including shooting 65.2 percent (15-for-23) in the second half. Liberty was held to 43.8 percent from the floor (21-for-48) but was limited to just 32.0 percent (8-for-25) in the final period. CCU outrebounded their hosts 25-22 and was 76.2 percent (16-for-21) from the free-throw stripe. However for the second straight game, the difference was turnovers, as the Chants turned 13 LU turnovers into 23 points.
Leasure led the Chanticleers with a game-high 24 points, including four three-pointers. His four triples increased his season total to 115, tying KeKe Hicks (1992-93) for the CCU single-season record and puts him just two off the league record. Three others were in double figures for Coastal, as Paelay finished with 13 and Stevens and forward Moses Sonko chipped in 12 and 11, respectively. Blair, who was held without a field goal for the first 18 minutes of the second half, finished with 17, while Porter was the only other Flame in double figures with 14.
Coastal will wrap up regular season play, traveling to Radford, Va. to take on the Radford Highlanders for the regular-season finale, Sat., Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. With a victory, Coastal would be the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Big South Championship, hosting a home game in the first round, Tue., Feb. 28 at 7 p.m.

Designed by Gemma and Jenna at Oblong + Sons, this self promotional item announces a big expansion for the studio.
We printed each side in Oblong's two signature colours: chocolate brown and strawberry pink. The promo was printed on Beer Matt Board with a deep impression on the front and a light impression on the back. The die cut was carefully constructed so each flavour of ice cream can pop right out. This clever design allows you to create your own 'super scoop' with all the different flavours of Oblong's skills and services.
The result of the design is a delightful promotional tool that is informative and playful. Using letterpress means that the piece is crafted and tactile too, a real keepsake that will be a treat to receive, touch and interact with.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A sun-powered robotic explorer named Juno is rocketing toward Jupiter on a fresh quest to discover the secret recipe for making planets.
Hundreds of scientists and their families and friends -- among thousands of invited guests -- cheered and yelled ''Go Juno!'' as the unmanned Atlas rocket blasted into a clear midday sky Friday. It will take five years to reach Jupiter, the solar system's most massive and ancient planet.
''Next stop is Jupiter,'' exulted Scott Bolton, Juno's principal investigator and an astrophysicist at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio.
''It's fantastic!'' said Fran Bagenal, a planetary scientist at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who is also part of the NASA project. ''Huge relief all around.''
Within an hour of liftoff, Juno hurtled out of Earth's orbit at 24,000 mph on a roundabout course for Jupiter. It was expected to whip past the orbit of the moon in half a day, or early this morning.
It is the first step in Juno's 1.7 billion-mile voyage to the gas giant Jupiter, just two planets away but altogether different from Earth and next-door neighbor Mars.
Juno is solar powered, a first for a spacecraft meant to roam so far from the sun. The three huge solar panels popped open an hour into the flight, each one stretching as long and wide as a tractor-trailer. Previous spacecraft to the outer planets have relied on nuclear energy.
With Juno, scientists hope to answer some of the most fundamental questions of our solar system.
''How Jupiter formed. How it evolved. What really happened early in the solar system that eventually led to all of us,'' Bolton said earlier in the week.
Bolton said Jupiter is like a time capsule. It got most of the leftovers from the sun's creation nearly 5 billion years ago -- hence the planet's immense size -- and its enormous gravity field has enabled it to hold onto that original material.

Wow, I read about you in the NSp magazine, a heli-blaster! Fantastic! I used to be a pilot. I am a NSP since 17 and an emergency room nurse, soon to be nurse practitioner. Ambivalent about patrolling often after 13 hours in busy emergency rooms. Hiking yes, for relaxation, ski patrolling sometimes comes harder as I want to relax. But, after reading the refresher guide, talking to patrol friends, reading the bios and obituaries of Patrollers, I am ready. Keep it up! thanks for all you do.

Trying to fill a gap for road-race coverage
I covered running for several years for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and am familiar with the road-race scene. I also write a monthly column for Inside Texas Running. Because the Star-Telegram and Dallas Morning News have significantly reduced their coverage of road races in recent years, I would like to fill some of the gap for running information.
This website was up and running early in March, 2006, and I will continue to try and improve it.
I began running in my early 40s. Though I never thought when I started I'd ever be able to run a 10K. I barely could make it around the block. I have since managed to not only run that 6.2-mile distance, but have gone on to finish several marathons, half marathons and numerous 5Ks. Among my most memorable runs include my first 10K at Cowtown, my first trail run at Cross Timbers, my first marathon at the Dallas Trails, the first time I broke 4 hours for a marathon (at Cowtown), participating in the 100th Boston Marathon, and coaching teams for the Arthritis Foundation and Prevent Blindness of Texas organizations. Among the trips the teams took were to the Dublin Marathon, Honolulu Marathon and the Disney Marathon and Half Marathon. Everyone who completed training finished their races. Many of the participants have continued running or walking, which to me was worth the time and effort spent during training. Several of us remain friends.
Ever since I read Jim Fixx's book of the Complete Book of Running, I've been convinced that running is the best exercise for overall fitness. Though I've had to reduce my road running because of cartilage problems in my right knee (which I believe was caused by a fall, not so much by running), I still plod along on a treadmill and elliptical machine when I'm not on the roads. I definitely haven't given up running and have participated in the Squirrel Run 10K, the Turkey Trot 10K, The Half and Disney Half Marathon since I was told to cut down on my mileage. I just save up for the races.
Hopefully, visitors to this web site share the same interest in running that I do. Look forward to seeing you on the roads.

Establish HR as a true partner in advancing and driving business goals, and enhance your value as both a member of your senior management team and a leader of the human resource function of your organization.
In this program, you'll join HR guru Dave Ulrich, global HR thought leaders, and top-level HR executives for the world's preeminent HR executive development program. In it, you'll learn how to lead your HR operation to advance overall business strategy, deliver value to investors, customers, and employees, and set a new, strategic vision for your HR operations.
You'll learn to maximize HR's contribution to the management team, optimize for global competitiveness, and create effective HR analytics to prove HR's worth. In addition, you'll learn the latest research and thinking on talent management, communication, managing culture across global organizations, facilitating change, performance management, organization design, HR competence, upgrading HR professionals, and defining the organization's leadership brand.
So often our intentions to implement sustained change fall short, and we find both our personal leadership efforts and our organization initiatives starting with fanfare and then fizzling.
What does it take to realize sustained organizational change? Through our most recent round of research, assessing data from more than 20,000 HR professionals, we have identified the proven ingredients for successful change. Successful change requires starting it correctly, and then making it stick. Here's how:
Make it simple: Narrow down complexity and focus
on a few key behaviors that have high impact on the most important issues.
