A16 alternative
My dad is coming into the city for dinner and wanted to try A16 but I can't get a reservation at a reasonable time tonight. Any alternative recs?
PS I don't want to go to pizzeria delfina.
Thanks for the help
Are you just looking for pizza or for an authentic Italian restaurant?
For pizza, Pizzetta 211 is excellent. No reservations, but worth it.
I would say Incanto but I think they're closed on Tuesdays. La Ciccia on Church in outer Noe is an awesome neighborhood Italian place. They have a wood oven for pizzas, but the other dishes are even better than the pizza. Nice wine list too. Another choice for pizza is Little Star for Chicago style deep dish pizza but it's not Italian, if that's what you are looking for.
Other Italian options abound in North Beach as well as other areas of town, such as Ideale, L'Osteria del Forno (also closed on Tuesdays, I think), and Da Flora (all in N. Beach), Antica Trattoria and Pesce in Russian Hill, and . . . hmmm, that's all I can think of off the top of my head. La Ciccia is definitely my favorite of these.
re: farmersdaughter
I really like la Ciccia for their food, delicious braised lamb. Their pizza is just ok. They do not have a wood burning oven. They have a regular deck gas oven that they inherited from the previous proprietor.
Try Bar Tartine, it's very comfortable (maybe a little loud when they're in full swing, but it adds to the charm), the staff is super friendly and the food is consistently great. It's in the Mission, but it's as easy to park around there as it is in the Marina.
Great seasonal food with a nice wine list too.
Since Incanto is closed on Tuesdays, I would go to either Antica or Pesce if you must have Italian. La Ciccia would be my third choice. If you must have pizza, I would drive to either Marin (Picco) or Berkely (pizzaiolo). If you are ok with other ingredient driven food and do not want to drive, I would go to Zuni or Nopa. However, Nopa doesn't take reservations and then you might as well go to A16 as a walk in. A16 reserves about 30 seats for walkins. A seat at the chef's counter is a lot of fun since you get to see all the action in the kitchen.
I've gone to A16 as a walk-in and been given times as long as two hours. And if you're willing to wait you have to sit in the cramped, noisy bar area. Worth it if somebody's passing through and that's their only chance.
For pizza, Tommaso's, Pizzetta 211, Little Star, or Pizzaiolo in Berkeley.
La Ciccia's one of the best Italian places in the city in its price range, but I wouldn't go there for pizza.
re: Robert Lauriston
You can sit in the chef's counter as a walk in. If you arrive before 7 or after 9, the wait is not bad at all. Also, they have added an additional area to the chefs counter which should help with walk ins.
re: Robert Lauriston
Waitaminute. 2 posts stating that Pizzaiolo is in BERKELEY? Did they move? We Oaklanders have enough of an inferiority complex without having Pizzaiolo taken away from us.
I am unclear as to whether the OP has a preference for Italian, for Pizza, or for a popular San Francisco place to eat.
If popular and pizza are qualities which will fit the bill then I recommend Coco500 who do a truly great cured salmon pizza which i absolutely love, love, love, (although others seem to prefer their squash blossom flatbread). Both are good.
Pazzia on 3rd St. is very good, and very authentic. I like it as much as A16, and I think their pizza is far superior. It's a tiny place in a less trendy neighborhood than A16, but definitely worth a visit.
Capannina and Bacco are very good, hardcore Italian.
Pazzia's a step down, they're good, inexpensive, but the menu's a bit more Americanized. Pretty good Roman-style pizza though you might have to be particular in ordering to get it crisp.
La Ciccia's generally excellent but I didn't find the pizza as exciting as the other food. It's not very Neapolitan in style, and not in the same league as A16's or Pizzaiolo's, or even Delfina's or Dopo's (best of the gas-deck oven pizzas).
Thanks for the help. We ended up at Zuppa. We started with the wild mushroom pizza which was pretty good. I had the steak, it was cooked well, but wasn't the best cut of meat. It also was served with a spicy tomato sauce that I thought was unnecessary as it took away from the flavor of the steak. My dad odered the pork chop, but the server accidentally punched in the roast chicken, instead of waiting for the chop to be made my dad just took the chicken. The chicken was okay, nice and crispy, but oily and lacking flavor. My bro had the veal chop, this was the clear winner, a very thick chop that was tender and full of flavor, though this was also VERY VERY oily, as in a pool of oil in the plate. Nothing was served with any sides, but the portions were big enough. All in all I don't think I would go back.
Server was friendly, he comped a glass of wine for the order mix-up.
re: Amahal420
Zuppa's lack of sides is just copying standard practice in Italy. You pick your own.
Any time you see a "contorni" section on a menu you can assume the secondi don't include sides unless specifically listed.
re: Robert Lauriston
It would be nice if Zuppa did more than pretentiously copy that practice rather than copying excellent Italian cooking styles. I say pretentious because if neither the menu or server indicated the lack of sides, it is not standard practice in this country unless you know it is a small plate type of place.
Thanks for a recent update on Zuppa which just reinforces other opinions that Zuppa is still is not Chowhound territory.
re: rworange
I see nothing pretentious about following the Italian practice regarding vegetables. I like having a choice.
It's a serious flaw in Zuppa's service if the servers don't make sure the customers understand the practice.
re: Robert Lauriston
To each his own. I do.
re: Robert Lauriston
A restaurant can't please everyone equally well.
Later in the evening, often half the customers at A16 are Italians. Like me, they go there because you can eat in courses the way we would in Italy.
At restaurants that Americanize their menus by oversaucing pastas, making entree portions larger, and including sides, it's often too much food. If we split an entree, there's not enough vegetables.
re: rworange
Uh, this has been a long-standing practice at all-American steakhouses. Sides are extra.
re: Melanie Wong
Not all :-)
But it goes back to expectations and while it may have been a waiter gaff ... I don't think I've ever been at a steak house where there wasn't an inquiry from the server about sides if an order wasn't placed.
With an unfamiliar practice, sure fine if you want to capture the audiance that revels in authenticy. However, I find it personally patronizing like the French restaurants of by-gone days that only offered menus in French and people could show-off that they were educated, well-traveled or sophisticated enough to not need a translation.
If you look at this menu
For all I know the sides at the bottom are just if I want to order extra. Not to explain that either on the menu or by the server implies I am an unsophisticated and uneducated diner.
Now maybe it is common practice in Bay Area Italian restuarants, I don't eat Italian enough to know. But that also presumes ignornace of someone who isn't a frequent diner of that class of restuarant.
It's just the whole Starbucks syndrome for me. It's the USA. Just say small, medium, large. Sheesh.
With mediocre reports, what seems to be a staff not wanting to help the diner it is unlikely I will stop by Zuppa
re: Melanie Wong
It's not a common practice around here. That's why it's essential that the menu or servers explain.
A16 might be the only other place currently doing it. Oliveto used to.
re: Melanie Wong
To clarify a big difference between A16 and Zuppa is that A16 includes the price of side. The menu clearly states that the mains come with the customer's choice of side dish and the servers always ask you what side you want when you oder a main.
re: Robert Lauriston
The poster says "Nothing was served with any sides, but the portions were big enough." This doesn't say that the server never offered any, didn't point them out, etc. Folks are running off in either direction to defend the practice or criticize the restaurant when all we know is that there were no sides on the main plate. Fwiw, I didn't have a good experience at Zuppa myself, still I don't like to see it criticized based on false assumptions about the service.
"all-American" with the hyphen means totally American, and not some foreign practice. Agreed that most servers will push sides, sometimes to help the diner, but to also increase the size of the tab. Also, while the poster mentions the lack of sides in relation to portion size, this doesn't mean that they weren't offered by the server.
re: Melanie Wong
re: Melanie Wong
To help clarify, I was simply stating that there were no side dishes on any of the main courses, and I found that odd as all of the mains that we ordered were basically slabs of meat and that some veggies would've been nice, both for the look of the plate and for taste to go with the meat. Plus the prices are high enough to include a side. But the portions were large enough that I was full after the meal. The waiter made no mention of sides, but had he pointed out that no sides were included, I would've added some veggies. The menu doesn't state that there are any sides included, I just made a false assumption.
re: Amahal420
So the waiter did not tell you that what you ordered came without sides?
re: Robert Lauriston
No, he did'nt.

A new report says Nebraska's preliminary unemployment rate was 3.9 percent in October, down from 4.1 percent in September.
The state Department of Labor released two months' worth of employment data on Friday. The September unemployment rate was one-tenth of a percentage point lower than the rate in August.
Nebraska's preliminary rates in September and October were published simultaneously because of the federal government's partial shutdown, which delayed the release of the September numbers.
The rates were well below the national unemployment rate of 7.3 percent in October. The national rate increased by one-tenth of a percentage point.
The report says Nebraska's non-farm employment grew to 981,281 in October, an increase of 4,561 from the previous month.
The Iowa unemployment rate dropped from 4.7 in September to 4.6 in October.

Pool play for the 38th annual Vandalia Holiday Tournament came to a close Tuesday night. The tournament started with a couple of upsets, but by the end the pieces had fallen into place. The best two teams are headed to the title game, while the worst two are headed to the ninth-place game, trying to earn their first victory of the tournament. It's only fitting that Flora and Stew-Stras the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds will face off in the title game. The two were tied for points after coach voting prior to the tournament.
Vandalia picked up its first and only win of the 38th annual Vandalia Holiday Tournament on Wednesday afternoon against Fayette County foe, South Central, 59-39.
The Vandals were lead by Marty Johnson with 16 points.
Vandalia was getting production from all over the court from the early minutes on. Daniel Bell knocked down back-to-back shots to the start of the second quarter, putting Vandalia up 20-11.
Though a number of local and state offices won't be filled through election more than 10 months from now, those wishing to have a say in who's elected need to make sure right now that they are eligible to vote.
Next Tuesday is the final day that Fayette County residents may register to vote or transfer their registration for the Feb. 2 primary election.
The efforts of a committee heading up recycling drives in Fayette County continue to be well-received.
"We collected more at the last two drives than we did at the first one," said Tony Pals of the Fayette County Soil & Water Conservation District.
At the Dec. 12 drive, 18 large boxes of recyclable items were collected, three more than at the initial drive, Pals said.
Anyone with a computer, printer, scissors and glue can now be the proud owner of five new scale models of Abraham Lincoln sites, including the Vandalia Statehouse, joining five other scale models that debuted earlier this year.
The Illinois Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission's "Build Your Own Lincoln Sites" project now offers HO-scale models of the Lincoln Home and Lincoln Tomb, both in Springfield; Beecher Hall in Jacksonville; the Shastid Cabin in Pittsfield; and the Vandalia Statehouse.
Anthony Workman was a typical 16-year-old boy who enjoyed baseball and other outdoor activities, especially hunting.
Then he had a bout with a virus that changed his life about a year ago. It left Anthony with marked physical changes, such as tiredness, weakness and a feeling of always being cold, even during hot weather. His dad described him as boy formerly built like a football player who suddenly began losing weight.
As we close the door on 2009 and prepare to launch into 2010, it's an appropriate time to take stock of what has happened in the past 12 months, and to look ahead to what the new year may hold.
For most of us, bidding goodbye to 2009 is a welcome relief. It's been a tough year on several fronts. Yet, many of the year's clouds were not without silver linings. Better times lie ahead.
Following is a summary of the highlights.
The Economy
Christmases past were celebrated in a somewhat different way than today.
It appears that "spreeing" was a common denominator in the tales told by the early settlers of the county. For "spreeing," insert the word "whiskey."
This time next year, a new book, "Christmas Anthology of Illinois," by James Ballowe of Ottawa will be in the bookstores. Included in this work are stories from around the state, Fayette County included, of how the holiday was celebrated in years past.
Saturday's games may have been the most exciting of the tournament, as there were several close games and one major upset that threatened to throw the whole tournament into a tailspin.
Game one
Flora 67
South Central 36
South Central's chances entering the Vandalia Holiday tournament were slim. The No. 10 Cougars had just one win on the season and had yet to really play as a team or put together a complete game.

By BENOÎT FAUCON And HASSAN HAFIDH
LONDONU.S. pressure is threatening to quash Iranian hopes of using oil fields it jointly holds with Iraq as a way to evade sanctions, people familiar with the matter say.
The failure of the cross-border plan is the latest example of Tehran's struggle to find ways to keep its oil revenue out of the reach of measures designed to stop its nuclear program.
Washington is tightening the noose on Tehran with the toughest sanctions to datea law that will bar countries from the U.S. banking system if they conduct oil trades with Iran's central bank. The European Union will also ban Iranian oil purchases from July 1.
Iran had hoped to use oil fields straddling its border with Iraq as a way to market oil that wouldn't be subject to sanctions, according to two people familiar with Tehran's thinking.
An Iranian oil official said Tehran had proposed setting up a joint operating company with Iraq, which could have been registered in the British Virgin Islands. But he said that following Washington's pressure, Baghdad offered to bring in a private Iraqi contractor rather than a state concern, fearing the latter could breach U.S. sanctions. Iran maintained that no existing private Iraqi contractor was large enough to handle such project, making the proposal unviable.
An oil industry professional said Iran also approached France's Total SA TOT -1.21% last year to operate some of the fields on behalf of both countries. He said the plan was to market the oil as effectively "stateless;" neither Iraqi nor Iranian, and with a foreign operator. But Total, wary of sanctions, refused.
In an interview, Total's Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie confirmed the approach had taken place. "It is a nontopic. It cannot happen because of the political situation," he said.
Washington has been using the legislation against Iran's central bank to stifle ties between Iran and its trade partners and is now bringing the heat to Iran's closest neighbor.
A State Department official said recently that "we consult closely with the government of Iraq on Iran sanctions-related issues, including recently-enacted U.S. sanctions legislation."
Iran and Iraq have both said they remained confident a deal could be reached on developing the cross-border fields. Iranian Deputy Oil Minister Alireza Zeiqami was quoted as saying mid-March that negotiations were making good progress.
Iraqi government spokesman Ali al Dabbagh said "no [deal to jointly develop cross-border oil fields] has been signed with Iran yet [but] we are ready to have an [understanding] on many common fields with them."
However, the spokesman also said: "Iraq will comply with sanction regulations and will never violate [them]." A spokesman for the National Iranian Oil Co. didn't return an emailed request for comment.
Much is at stake for Iran, where production has been eroded by previous sanctions and risks being further hit by the most recent measures. Last year, Iran's Oil Minister Rostam Ghasemi said the country will focus its efforts on developing new oil fields on the cross-border areas. He didn't explain the rationale behind such decision.
Iran has been able to start production from its side of the border in some of the fields. Iranian state-owned Petroleum Engineering and Development Co. said last month that Yadavaran, which is part of a field straddling both countries, has kicked off production and is expected to peak at 300,000 barrels a day, thanks to reserves of 3 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
But a lack of agreement between Iran and Iraq could impede the development of many of these oil fieldswhich Tehran says number 23by making them open to legal or armed disputes.
In 2009, Iran sent soldiers to the Fakkah oil field, part of a complex that straddles both countries and altogether holds reserves of 2.5 billion barrels, after saying one of the wells was part of its territory. Fakkah hasn't been producing since 2003 and Iraq hasn't been able to find bidders for the field because of the dispute.

Born in Siberia in 1913, Vladimir Tretchikoff is one of the most commercially-successful artists of all time.
He fled with his family from the Russian Revolution to North China and was orphaned there at the age of 11. He later moved to Singapore, where he held a variety of interesting jobs, including a spell working as a propaganda artist for the British Ministry of Information in 1941. This gave him the opportunity to paint many famous personalities of the day. When the Japanese invaded Singapore, Tretchikoff escaped in an open boat which was then bombed and he drifted in the Java Sea for 23 days before being captured and held in Singapore until the end of the war.
The event which triggered his speedy rise to fame was the publishing of a book of his work in 1950. The book became a best-seller overnight and led to a hugely-successful exhibition, which toured North America and London.
Having lived in Shanghai and Singapore, the influence of the Far East and a fascination with the exotic can be seen in most of Tretchikoffs work. His figure studies generally feature members of African tribes or oriental women and he has always been fascinated with oriental flowers, such as magnolias, which he imbues with an emotional charge through the use of dramatic composition and stark colour schemes. Tretchikoff also used unconventional techniques in his work, such as combining brush and palette knife to lend his paintings more weight.
His work was so commercially successful, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s that it provoked extreme reactions. His famous subject Chinese Lady, featuring an eastern model viewed through a blue filter, is believed to be the best-selling commercial print of all time and is still used today to define the style and artwork of an entire generation.
Vladimir Tretchikoff is currently living in South Africa.

|COLLEGE FOOTBALL '07: Looking for the next Boise State? Try these teams
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 17 August 2007 07:43
The other contenders and their chances to bust into the BCS:
HAWAII - Colt Brennan and the Warriors have unbeaten regular season written all over that schedule, with two Division I-AA opponents and their toughest Western Athletic Conference games against Boise State and Fresno State at home. The schedule leaves no room for error. Hawaii can't get into the BCS with a loss, and aren't a lock with a perfect record.
Longhorns might help.
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI - Conference USA has really slipped in recent years so if the Golden Eagles are going to draw the necessary attention it'll have to come in the nonconference games. The good news is games at Tennessee and Boise provide the opportunity for high-profile victories. The bad news is USM probably isn't up to the task of winning at both places.
UTAH - If the Utes can earn a BCS bid against their schedule, they will have earned it. Utah plays at Oregon State, hosts UCLA and travels to Louisville. They also conclude the season at rival BYU, another team with BCS hopes.

The Colville Elks Lodge no. 1753 is back in business, or will be on Wednesday, Nov. 13 when the lodge officially re-opens.
BPOE No. 1753, a fixture in the Colville valley for more than 80 years, has retained its charter with a new slated of officers, led by newly anointed Exalted Ruler, Ryke Dahlen.
The national Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks suspended the charter of the Colville lodge in late September. The edict was signed by Elks Grand Exalted Ruler Millard Pickering and was approved at the local level by Grand Trustees and local lodge state sponsor, Roger True.
At primary issue for the Elks hierarchy was the lack of a ŌĆ£full, valid, elected or appointed slate of officers.ŌĆØ
According to the executive order suspending the charter of the local lodge, several chairs (positions) were not filled and record keeping had allegedly not been kept up to trusteesŌĆÖ and BPOE standards.
Officers removed
When the charter was suspended, those officers who did fill chairs were removed from office. That included then Exalted Ruler, Steve Frazier.
Elks Trustees, including Gary Hicks of Spokane, temporarily took over operation of the local lodge and lounge, which were closed to members and guests during the time of charter suspension.
During the suspension, the trustees in charge even took the unusual step of changing the locks on the aging ElkŌĆÖs building, located adjacent to Dominion Meadows Golf Course.
The golf course ran as usual until closing for the season at the end of October.
Among the ElksŌĆÖ holdings in Colville are the lodge building and 11 holes of the 18-hole DM golf course. The other seven holes fall under the aegis of the Dominion Meadows Athletic Association.
Dahlen said that the local ElkŌĆÖs membership has worked diligentlyŌĆöto reorganize and satisfy Grand Lodge demands in a very short period of time.
ŌĆ£A lot of people have worked hard on this,ŌĆØ Dahlen said, adding that one trustee told him that the Colville lodge had created something of a ŌĆ£templateŌĆØ for ElksŌĆÖ lodge reorganization success stories.
ŌĆ£Gary Hicks said at a recent meeting that they (trustees) havenŌĆÖt seen a lodge reinstated so quickly,ŌĆØ Dahlen said, adding that it isnŌĆÖt uncommon for the Elks hierarchy ŌĆ£to do this, but it generally takes months and months. They (trustees) were basically overwhelmed at how fast the turnaround time wasŌĆ"we were ready to be sworn in (with a complete slate of new officers) at the last meeting.ŌĆØ
Few lodges these days are successfully reorganized once charters are suspendedŌĆöand certainly not this quickly if there is the impetus for reorganization. Nationally, Elks lodges have fallen on hard times and the BPOE is in decline.
But not in ColvilleŌĆönot yet.
The Colville lodge had been given until Jan. 10, 2014 to fill the required chairs and conduct regularly scheduled meetingsŌĆöor face closure.
The local lodge is well ahead of that schedule.
Swearing in of new officers on Nov. 13
All newly seated officers will be sworn in on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 6 p.m., at the regularly scheduled lodge meeting. Grand Lodge representatives will be in attendance to assist with the ceremony.
Dahlen said that all Elks members are invited to attend one of the most significant BPOE No. 1753 meetings in recent memory.
A grand re-opening celebration will be held Friday, Nov. 15, starting at 6 p.m. at the Elks Lodge. The Brown Boyz will cater the party.
ŌĆ£Members and guests are invited,ŌĆØ Dahlen said.
Dahlen said that the local BPOE sent a letter to the Grand Lodge recently imploring them to make a decision on the restoration of the charter for BPOE no. 1753 much sooner than later.
ŌĆ£(Having the lodge closed) was negatively impacting us,ŌĆØ added the Colville businessman, who said ŌĆ£we had to get this doneŌĆ"save the lodge, the lounge and the golf course. They are all intertwined.
ŌĆ£We have a good group of guys who are excited about what has been done and are ready to hit the ground running.ŌĆØ
Dahlen gave considerable credit to longtime local ldoge member and officer Steve West for his work to get the charter reinstated and the doors of the local lodge openŌĆöquickly.
ŌĆ£Steve was incredible,ŌĆØ Dahlen said. ŌĆ£We wouldnŌĆÖt have been able to put this together as quickly as we did without his great leadership.ŌĆØ
Dahlen said that other events scheduled by the reorganized club includes the annual ElkŌĆÖs Hoop Shoot contest, Elks Memorial Service on Dec. 1, the annual Breakfast With Santa on Saturday, Dec. 21 and New YearŌĆÖs Eve and Super Bowl festivities.
Dahlen said the lodge is currently accepting holiday party reservations. Call 684-2621 for more information.

Jim R wrote a camry pride story about ...
As I drive the road by the river in the rain, sheets of mother nature's frothy fury blast the windshield... but my '12 Camry handles it like a boss. The bumpy road undulates through the canopy of ancient oaks making lesser cars sway and shimmy... but my '12 Camry handles it like a boss. A quick left hand turn as the river meanders purposefully, cutting through the earth and whisking it's essence towards the delta. The car in front of me misses the turn and sails out and over the water. As I see the passengers scream and claw for the doors, my '12 Camry makes the turn with ease and I think to myself "Yeah, it handled that like a boss".JIM R'S 2012 EFFECT

Adobe Powers Mobile App Production for Leading Corporate Brands
Senior Marketing Leaders Across Geographies and Industries Select Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to Engage Stakeholders with Apps
After making great strides in the publishing industry over the past few years, Adobe is proud to announce that Digital Publishing Suite is now also powering mobile app production for some of the world's best-known brands. Given its rapid uptake, DPS has become the professional standard for quickly and cost-effectively creating tablet and smartphone apps to help companies engage customers, employees, and other stakeholders through digital channels.
"If you're a senior marketing leader looking to engage audiences on tablets and smartphones, Digital Publishing Suite offers your team the opportunity to create apps that look amazing for much less than native app development," says Nick Bogaty, Head of Digital Publishing, Adobe. "It's exciting to see the many ways brands and organizations are using Digital Publishing Suite to produce apps that quickly engage their customers and employees with compelling content on popular mobile devices."
Industry leaders producing public-facing apps to drive brand engagement, launch products, and strengthen relationships with consumers include Arsenal FC, Audi of America, Bass Pro Shops, Ball State University, Buffalo Bills/NFL, Casa/JWT (a WPP company), Celebrity Cruises, Deloitte Consulting LLP, Lowe's, Raymond James Financial, Syracuse University, UCLA Anderson School of Management, University of Notre Dame, and more.
"With Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, we very quickly created a high-quality app that showcases our cruising destinations with rich images and interactivity," said Lisa Z. Kauffman, vice president of marketing at Celebrity Cruises. "The app makes it fun and easy for customers to interact with our brand and explore our cruise ships and destinations, resulting in more engaged customers and an increase in bookings. Best of all, because we rely on Adobe for the app and technology infrastructure, we can focus our attention on creating compelling travel marketing content."
In addition to public facing apps available through mobile marketplaces, many global brands are also creating and updating sales enablement and internal communications apps using DPS. These apps are made available internally through a corporate intranet or mobile device management solution or through restricted distribution capabilities to specific external audiences. Customers engaging their employees and affiliates through these private apps include Remy Cointreau, Sotheby's International Realty, and Specialized Bicycle Components.
"Using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, we produced a sales enablement app and made it available to our reps through private publishing," said Alexandre Page-Relo, global chief technology officer for Remy Cointreau. "Now, our sales reps always have up-to-date sales sheets, product information, and sales calculators in an interactive format, right at their fingertips. The return on investment of not having to print materials that are quickly outdated has been phenomenal."

Time Inc. Joins Top 5 Publishers on Adobe DPS
The largest consumer magazine publishers in the world are powered by Adobe Digital Publishing Suite
Adobe is excited to announce that Time Inc. is publishing Real Simple to the Apple App store using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (DPS). With launch of this app, Adobe now powers mobile and tablet apps to the top five largest consumer magazine publishers in North America who collectively deliver content to over 200 million readers[1] in North America. Time Inc. now joins Meredith, Hearst, Condé Nast, and Reader's Digest, all of whom are partnering with Adobe to digitally publish magazines as apps for iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire and other leading Android tablets and devices. With support from Adobe, these leading publishers are demonstrating innovation through stand-out mobile applications that have been lauded for their high quality design and extended consumer engagement.
The publishing industry has undergone considerable transformation in the last three years. With the initial launch of WIRED on the iPad, a cascade of applications have followed Condé Nast in publishing highly regarded magazine and newspaper applications to a variety of tablet and smartphone devices using Adobe DPS.
Reading behavior of magazine and newspaper apps continue to be shaped as we move into 2013. However, Digital Publishing Suite applications are setting the standard for excellence in readership. A recent report from iMonitor shows that the top five apps to achieve a perfect iMonitor app rating were built with DPS. These apps were highly scored because they are "easy to navigate and appropriately leverage the iPad's capabilities to both fully engage their users and to expand upon the service typically provided by more traditional media forms."
In the last 12 months, there have been over 50M issues downloaded from applications created with DPS. Additionally, data from these applications indicates that users are willing to pay for digital content with over 60% of readers purchasing an application as a single issue or a digital subscription.
The successes go on. National Geographic recently stated that they are expecting to exceed their goal of 300,000 paid digital readers before the end of the year. Hearst has over 1M digital readers and continues to grow. Rodale recently noted that they predict that Men's Health will surpass 100,000 paid digital readers this year. While still small compared to print circulations, digital circulation will continue to climb as the number of tablets and smartphones accelerates. Case in point, roughly 1 in every 2 adults in the US is expected to have a tablet by 2013 (117.4MM users).[2] That is a lot of potential magazine and newspaper readers.
Adobe is proud to be working with many of the world's most renowned publishers. Our goal is to empower publishing companies with innovative tools, technology, workflows and support to ensure their brands can be designed and delivered to readers where and when they want to engage with their content.

How to sell security
It's a truism in sales that it's easier to sell someone something he wants than something he wants to avoid. People are reluctant to buy insurance, or home security devices, or computer security anything. It's not they don't ever buy these things, but it's an uphill struggle.
The reason is psychological. And it's the same dynamic when it's a security vendor trying to sell its products or services, a CIO trying to convince senior management to invest in security or a security officer trying to implement a security policy with her company's employees.

U.S. tops rankings for fostering female entrepreneurs
Summary: Which goes to show you how long a way we still have to go.
Let's play a game, shall we?
There is a world country whose population is majority female. Within its national government, its legislative body is about 18 percent female. Of its top 1000 companies, women lead 4.5 percent.
Can you guess which nation this is?
Is it Brazil? China, perhaps? Maybe Mexico? India?
How about France? Germany? Japan, at least? Or maybe Australia?
No, on all fronts. The nation I've described is the United States. And yet it leads the world in fostering female entrepreneurship, according to a new study.
In a survey that spans 17 countries—the above mentioned, plus Egypt, Morocco, Malaysia, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Uganda and the U.K.—the U.S. was found to lead the pack in having "good institutional foundations" and a "strong entrepreneurial environment" for women.
The full list:
- United States
- Australia
- Germany
- France
- Mexico
- United Kingdom
- South Africa
- China
- Malaysia
- Russia
- Turkey
- Japan
- Morocco
- Brazil
- Egypt
- India
- Uganda
The study, which was jointly conducted by the U.S. technology company Dell and the Washington-based non-profit research firm GEDI Institute, is based on the latter's existing Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index from which it derives its name.
The index combines data from sources such as the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, World Economic Forum, World Bank, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, United Nations Development Programme and International Labour Organization. It ranks selected nations based on 30 indicators, such as access to capital or social circles.
As I've demonstrated above, however, success is relative. (Meg Whitman, Ginny Rometty, Ursula Burns and Marissa Mayer, if you're reading this right now, chances are high that you're nodding your head in agreement.)
The study's insights were certainly interesting. GEDI found that top-performing countries "scored consistently well across a wide range of indices," versus low-performing countries, which may show success in one area (such as allowing women the social freedom to take advantage of opportunities) but contradictory failure elsewhere (such as denying them institutional support when they try).
GEDI also found that economic strength isn't sufficient to support female success, as evidenced by Japan's poor showing in the list above. Why so low? Because the country has cultural norms that work against women. Just 9 percent of Japan's managers are women, compared to 43 percent in the U.S.
Education, of course, is vital. Japan excepted, most poorly educated countries lack female representation in entrepreneurial activity.
Access to financial capital is also crucial. In low-performing nations, women lack bank accounts; in high-performing nations, they lack venture financing. (In the U.S., just three to five percent of VC funding goes to female-owned businesses.)
In sum? Even list-topping nations such as the U.K. and France have "a large gap of underutilized entrepreneurship potential" because women are comparatively unlikely to launch a startup.
The good news is that a few environmental tweaks can make a big business impact.
"Unleashing the power of female entrepreneurship can have a dramatic effect on a country's economy," Dell CMO Karen Quintos said in a statement. "The research clearly supports the assertion that key things need to be fixed in order for female entrepreneurship to survive and flourish."

Had to return it as a defective item. The painted canvas was separated from the board. I am waiting for a refund. However, I will continue to shop.
I'm very disappointed to say I returned this item because I did not feel the quality of the image was acceptable. On my print the image looked jagged as if the resolution was far too low for it's size. I just could not justify the price or deal with the quality of the image (at any price) no matter how hard I tried. It's too bad though because the colors would have been perfect in my living room.
The paintings were exactly what we wanted. The only problem that we encountered was that the three mounting straps on the back of the picture frames were not even close to being the same distance from the top of the frame. I had to move two of them in order for the finished work to be exactly level.
We purchased this product for our home and it is perfect for the room intended. One of the panels canvas frame was out of square and was immediately replaced with a new one- Thank you for your prompt attention and making sure that the replacement panel would work!

A little about me...
Active and energetic volunteer in areas of behavioral health, hunger, poverty, child abuse, developmental disabilities, HIV/AIDS, criminal justice, or homelessness.
Retired from a 40-year career starting and managing nonprofit behavioral health organizations addressing substance abuse, developmental disabilities, mental health, HIV/AIDS prevention, domestic violence, criminal justice, and homelessness.
But now back in the work work-part-time manager of a small clinic providing free primary health care to the medically indigent.
Although a Divinity School graduate, I was never ordained. Interested in interfaith dialogue and understanding.
Enjoy excellent health and have no aches or pains. Because I wish to eat healthy, I often cook for myself.
Politically liberal as I believe those of us with so much should share with those who have so little.
I laugh easily and have a very positive outlook on life likely caused by my life long faith journey.
Skilled and experienced in wilderness hiking, camping, and canoeing. Currently own a beat up kayak, a good pair of roller blades, and an old off-road bicycle.
Enjoy dancing. Been a while, but tennis is good.
Am very handy with home repair and maintenance.
About the one I'm looking for...
Interested in developing a relationship with a partner who has a positive and relaxed attitude and considerable humor and who also has the desire and ability to enjoy physical intimacy and passion. Romance and adventure would enhance the pleasures of being together.
Must be willing to share a life of some adventure, service, and compassion.
Thinking with one's heart would be a real asset as I am often too much in my head.
I'd just like to add...
Recently I came out of retirement to become the part-time director of a free community health clinic. Nevertheless, because I have no debt and no lease, I am free to come and go as I please and to live anywhere in the world I choose.
I have three adult children and a daughter-in-law. They are all successful, and I hold them all dear, but they have no need for me to be underfoot. (Son in PA, daughter in Los Angeles, and married son in Raleigh.)
Because of my freedom and good health, I am committed to engaging in activities that thrust me into opportunities to expand my world, to grow spiritually, and to clarify my life's future purposes and direction.

European Wildlife is a Pan-European non-profit organization dedicated to nature conservation and landscape protection. Our key objective is to conserve biological diversity on the continent and to reduce the impact of climate changes on European nature and human society.
Climate change
Global warming is a worldwide threat, however, what is primarily endangered is European nature. Over the past millenia, the climate change accompanying the ice-ages has deprived Europe of more plant and animal species than in other continents.
Haven't we all at least once read about the African wilderness, South American rainforests or Asian alpine mountains? Although for most of us the wilderness conveys a symbol of far away and exotic places, it is also in Europe where the nature stays as fettered as it had been centuries ago.

Australia, 1975 (MIFF 1998, Australian Showcase)
Director: Peter Weir
Peter Weir's film adaptation of Joan Lindsay's classic, largely faithful to the original novel, describes the collapse of a rural Victorian boarding college following the mysterious disappearance of three girls and a teacher atop Hanging Rock.
The unease that Weir provokes in the film is covertly sexual, yet it would be mistaken to simply attribute a lesbian subtext to this tension. The story's timing - St Valentine's Day, 1900 - typifies an era of late-Victorian constraints pressing like a whale-bone corset onto the harsh and relentless Australian landscape. The relationship of the girls with the rock, led by the enigmatic Miranda, signifies a metaphoric relationship between the constraints of civilisation and an unpredictable environment. Anne Lambert portrays Miranda as self-determined yet detached from the social mores of the times.
Produced in an era of sexual and Feminist liberation, Picnic at Hanging Rock is an ambitious exploration of female sexuality and taboo. As the century closes, Peter Weir's 1975 classic remains perhaps the most powerful and provocative cinematic expression of European Australia's turbulent relationship with this great southern land. The director's cut of Picnic at Hanging Rock, a stunning new 35mm print, will be screened at MIFF 1998.
Producer Patricia Lovell and actor Anne-Louise Lambert are guests of the Festival.
Peter Weir, born in Sydney, 1944, is recognised internationally as one of the most significant directors to emerge from Australia. After shocking local sensibilities with The Cars That Ate Paris (1974), Weir cemented his Australian reputation with films like Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) and The Last Wave (1977). After the box office success of Gallipoli (1981), Weir commenced his international career in earnest with a string of hits including Witness (1985), Dead Poets Society (1986) and Fearless (1993).

Beautiful Naive Women
Alison Angel is such a playful creature. Sometimes I think she is a babe lost in the woods… Beautiful, and very naive. That's a good combination for guys like us who are used to picking off low hanging fruit.

I wish all women would wear only high heels from here on out. Well, only if they have a body like Alison Angel here!
Alison Angel Naked Outside
I love chicks who get naked outside. They are always the fun ones. The chicks who get off getting naked outside are always the ones who never say no.
I bet you Alison Angel never says no.
And look at her. Would you say no to Alison Angel?
Not when Alison Angel is walking around outside naked, no…. Then again, I'll hit nearly anything.
Fun Time On Boat
Alison Angel went out on the boat… And sooner or later her bikini came off. Not that any one is complaining at all. Nothing wrong with Alison Angel getting comfy on the back of the boat…
I would lay down next to her and spend some high quality bonding time with her!
In this second shot… You can see that Alison Angel has some long ass sexy legs!
Alison Angel Working Out Naked
I love watching Alison Angel working out… She's got a great body and it shows… Very nice!

- Automatic GratuityBauerdrDined on 11/22/2014We were a party of 6 so they automatically added 20% to the bill. No problem. A little high but that wasn't what bothered us. Gratuity should be added to the food and drink portion rather than the total bill. Adding tip to a total that includes tax is not proper. It was explained that although they agreed it was not right, "the computer does it". How's that for a weak excuse.I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time here from here say and will be back!LT26Dined on 11/22/2014Heard about this place from my cousin who heard about it while chatting on A plane from someone who lives in the area -- we had a reservation and were seated quickly.. Bar and decor is excellent. Our area was very "cozy" w the heat blasting on us but that was quickly helped at our request. I enjoyed the menu selection as its seasonal. Portions were pretty good for the price. Drinks were strong and delish!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved the barN1njaVIPDined on 11/15/2014This place is worth checking out for the lit stairs and the fantastic bar. The food was a bit of a disappointment. I had the shortribs which were tasty and hot but was served on a bed of cold mashed potatoes (?). Salad was so so. I had a taste of the kabocha soup which was pretty good. The desserts are pretty small which was fine with me but not the guys. Although our waiter was fantastic, it took a REALLY long time for us to get our main courses. It was pretty noisy once the place filled up so not a place to go for a quiet romantic dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EXCELLENTJohnDined on 11/13/2014Enjoy every time. Never had a bad meal or experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sit by the bar or kitchen area.Nosher1Dined on 10/25/2014First time. Very positive experience. Sit bet the bar or kitchen for the full effect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful and FriendlyurmeisterDined on 9/21/2014Great find. Staff was so helpful and accommodating. Made the visit comfortable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quite a treat!HRoseVIPDined on 9/20/2014We have eaten at the Japanese restaurant Dai Kichi in Upper Montclair and always enjoyed it. We finally went to their "newish" restaurant Upstairs. What a treat. Lovely ambiance, great service, and excellent, creative food. Highly recommend a visit. We will return as soon as possible.Special Features:
- Creative & deliciousrolloDined on 9/13/2014And the staff was very accommodating for one of our diners with allergy issues.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good MealOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014A group of us (4) had dinner at Upstairs on Saturday night. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to have a drink at the bar before sitting down for our meal, it was very nice not to be rushed to sit down. The menu had some very interesting items on it, the specials were seasonal and tasty. I had the scallops which were cooked to perfection and my husband had the duck which was also cooked perfectly. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TapasBorn2chopDined on 9/12/2014Went here upon a recommendation. The specialty drinks were delish but could only have one bc they were strong. Not an extensive menu but we opted for the Tapas. They were just the right amount and so good. Definetly will come back again.Special Features:
- RecommendmarblackDined on 9/6/2014I've been to Upstairs several times. The food is always very good. The cocktail menu is creative. The staff is very friendly. I always have a good experience there.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food & Drink!markpDined on 8/27/2014Upstairs never fails to serve great food along with a perfect wine selection. Since their menu will change with the seasons, you know there will be new items to found every few months. Plus the bartenders make great drinks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect local spotFoodieVIPDined on 8/23/2014We loved our dining experience. The food is delicious and the service was very attentive. One drawback is that the portions are small.Special Features:
- Great little gemMicDenBurVIPDined on 8/23/2014Our second time eating here and found the food and service better than average. The atmosphere is a little drab, but well lit and pleasant. The portion sizes are generous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Something for everyoneOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/22/2014I always struggle to find a suitable place to eat with my mom... My tastes are very eclectic and I love places that take risks with flavors, mom, not so much. Here the food is so good that we both can find something that is truly enjoyable. If I lived locally, I would eat here all the time!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An amazing dining experience!MissPeach2Dined on 8/19/2014What an incredible evening! The bar is the most unusual and inviting bar I've EVER seen, and although the restaurant was unusually quiet on this summer, Tuesday evening, the food was superb, unusual, and just plain outrageous! Our waitress, Jessica, from Brazil , made everything special! Oh yes, I dare not fail to mention the WARM, toilet seat that goes up and down at the opening and closing of the bathroom door!!!! Can't wait to return!!!! I'd LOVE to know how they make those scrumptious brusel sprouts!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Usually excellent, But.........DD35Dined on 8/1/2014Our waiter was friendly but not very informative and they had no specials which was disappointing. The cheese plate was good but the waiter had a hard time naming all the cheeses. The Duck was fantastic but the hanger steak wasn't very good. In fact my wife found a hair and then the meat was tough and chewy so my wife barely touched it. When another waitress cleared the table it was evident that my wife didn't eat her food. The waitress didn't say a word and just took the plate without asking if she wanted it wrapped or if there was something wrong with the food. On a positive note My Wife and I enjoyed our cocktails and they had an amazing Beer on tap called Rossabi. We are not complainers so I wish the waitress was more aware.Special Features:
- The following 98 reviews are from the Upstairs reviews archive.
- MixedMosaaDined on 7/28/2014The food was creative and interesting, but the food arrived very slowly and the server did not seem very on top of things.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food but...OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/25/2014Food was excellent, no specials... Service was ok, not great... Ambiance is lacking, the 2 windows they do have in the main area are covered so no light or anything. Just is lacking the feel of a nice dinner out... But again the food was excellent!Special Features:
- Uncomfortably warmOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/18/2014Good food but it was so uncomfortably warm that everyone was sweating. I mentioned it to the server twice, but she seemed unable to talk her manager into cranking up the A/C. The bar area was much cooler, if I had to do it again I would have eaten at the bar.
- Excellent FoodLoveToEatDined on 7/15/2014The cheese plate and brussel sprouts were my favorites. There are 3 choices of seating areas - at the bar (very bright and a bit noisy), adjacent to the open kitchen (quieter but warm from the oven) and a more formal, quite dining room at the rear.Special Features:
- Wonderful placeTheRuckusDined on 7/12/2014This is the second time I've been to Upstairs. The first time was so great, I felt like it could have been a fluke. But I was wrong--the second time was just as good. Everything from the predinner cocktails to dessert and coffee was just perfect. And the wait staff is friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. As the back dining room fills up, it can get a little loud, but not distractingly so. I recommend the seared duck breast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/6/2014Good atmosphere and terrific food. A bit pricey but a very good overall experience.Special Features:
- Small and Large DishesUpstairsDined on 6/30/2014Upstairs has an upscale feel at reasonable prices. The decor is modern and inviting. The menu features large and small dishes. The servings are perfectly sized to better represent gourmet versus too much. The bar menus is extensive and the service was very good. This restaurant is a quality opportunity to enjoy a great meal made special by it's owner.Special Features:

- Excellent mealOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 6/22/2014When you go you must order the gnocchi and shrimp small plates, they are out of this world! Expertly prepared and perfectly seasoned. Highest quality ingredients.Special Features:
- Excellent food, okay ambianceGetFitzDined on 6/20/2014Food was awesome. Try the small plate Brussels and large plate salmon, very tasty. Nice portion size. Very attentive staff. Small but cozy. Ambiance is nice, but not romantic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfectoscar2Dined on 6/20/2014Great spot. Beautiful bar, food is very good. A little bit of Manhattan in Upper Montclair. Tables available by kitchen, great energy and viewing of chefs. As you can tell, we really like Upstairs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upper Manhattan Meets MontclairMontLife1289VIPDined on 6/16/2014Excellent food, professional staff, perfect drinks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for girls night outInnaDined on 6/12/2014Upstairs is cozy and stylish with delicious cocktails and scrumptious appetizers. The portion size is perfect, whether you're ordering for one person or would like to share and try a few.The flavors are delicious and sophisticated. The service is easy, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is vibrant for a night out, but quiet enough so you can actually talk. Will be definitely coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FUN BAR AND DELICIOUS FOODLuvs2NotCookVIPDined on 6/12/2014LOVE COMING HERE FOR A PRE-MOVIE OR AFTER-MOVIE DRINK AND FOOD. SOMETIMES JUST GET THE STARTERS OR SIDES. CAN'T GO WRONG! Great wine list and cocktails, and fun to watch the Open Kitchen prepare your meal. Or sit in the Dining Room (the only part I don't truly love about this place as it seems too sterile and small compared to the bar area). We generally like to sit at the bar or the high counters stools. Celebrated after-wedding party there, too and it was FUN!Special Features:
- Wendy1VIPDined on 5/22/2014We've been to Upstairs many times and always enjoy our experience. Tonight, though, the magnificent pork chop was overcooked and somewhat dry, not succulent like it usually is. And the salmon over an enormous, cold mound of wheatberries and raw onions was a loser in my book. Hangar steak was great as were the scallops. Brussels sprouts awesome. Please change the menu though from time to time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- limited menudinnerDined on 5/21/2014Food was great. Very tasty. great place for our monthly dinner with friendsSpecial Features:

- njkaraDined on 5/16/2014lovely drinks but limited food menu- needs to expand appetizer optionsSpecial Features:
- Less SparkleOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 5/14/2014Good but not as good as in the past. This place has lost its shine and sparkle. Portions on the cheese plate were noticeably smaller than the last time we dined. Menu has also fewer choices, although the chicken was very delicious, it was a very small portion and A LOT of vegetables to fill up the plate. It's overpriced.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 5/12/2014Great as usual! Aki has created a wonderful restaurant once again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunchmctrevorDined on 5/10/2014This was the first time we tried lunch at Upstairs, and absolutely every dish ordered was incredible. It had the finesse of their dinner fare in portions for for lunch. We all picked at each other's plates to taste everything and we all left satisfied.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food here is to die forDarlingdinerDined on 5/2/2014We had the fried okra- was like candy! We also had the shrimp, the beet ANC goat cheese salad, the salmon, and a very good chilled pea soup. The food here is really transformative! I recommend it wholeheartedly. Also had the strawberry rhubarb cocktail, delish!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place. City vibe. Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 4/26/2014Excellent service. Everything we ordered was delicious. Nicely prepared, simple and all good. Bar scene was hopping which is nice to see in the suburbs! Owner/Maitre'd was very accommodating. We celebrated an anniversary, and received a little extra attention - which was greatly appreciated. We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.


text: Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly Work to Elect Pro-Gun Control Candidates Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 4 Jun 2014 post a comment On June 3, Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly's Americans for Responsible Solutions (ARS) detailed plans to dump money into "Senate races in seven states and in four House races" for the November midterm elections. ARS is supporting Senate candidates who voted for the expanded background check requirements that were defeated in the Senate last year and House candidates who wanted to see similar legislation in the House. According to the New York Daily News, these senators include Mark Udall (D-CO), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Kay Hagan (D-NC), and Al Franken (D-MN). Kelly said, "It's important that leaders from both parties who put their necks out there and showed some courage on the issue of gun violence prevention get to keep their job." He said ARS has decided not to "attack" Democrat senators from red states who opposed gun control, as those senators are facing challenges from pro-gun Republicans.

Ulcerative Colitis Miracle

I had been suffering with uncontrollable UC for several months - constant urgency, diarrhea, bleeding and frequency. Certain foods were just not tolerated and would send things off in a downward spiral. I was a prisoner of my bathroom. I took Dr. Ohirra's probitotics in conjunction with penicillin VK and it cleared up the UC symptoms in a few days (started with 2 in AM, 1 PM first week - now taking just 1 in AM before eating). I can now tolerate the foods, too, that were a problem. Mentioned this miracle to a friend with exact same problem with their UC. They started the probiotics, but no penicillin, and their symptoms are gone, too (not sure what role, if any the penicillin played for me, but need to note its use. BTW, I tested not-positive for parasites, etc, just the week before). For you folks with UC that has become untreatable with conventional drugs (was on Asacol at max dosage in conjunction with Mesalamine) this is a UC miracle! I tried the other, very expensive, refrigerated probiotic to no avail, Dr Ohirra's are the best.

This is the first probiotic I have used that you can tell is working. My digestion & elimination is stronger, and my son does not get ear infections anymore. We have spent alot of money on different types of probiotics, and I am glad I did not give up before trying this one.
My own experience: Awful acne flare ups :(

Bear in mind that this is my own personal experience, I do hope your results are much better than mine. I initally heard of this product from my cousin who absolutely loves it and raves about it. I've read that taking probiotics is great for maintaining a healthly intestinal flora. For me, however, after taking one of these per day, by the third day my face broke out in a few painful acne nodules (hard bumps under the skin surface) and some cysts (similar to nodules but pus-filled). Granted, I occasionally get a whitehead every once in a while, but these were something else completely which I've NEVER experienced before! After the 5th day I stopped taking them because I could see & feel more hard bumps forming on my skin. After I stopped taking this probiotic I could feel the hard bumps slowly (over 2 weeks) recede. Thinking maybe it was just a fluke, I again took these a couple of months later, and sure enough by the 3 day I could feel the hard bumps again forming on my face. I stopped taking them altogether. They work great for my cousin, but for me, caused a bad acne/allergic reaction.

The only supplement I've found that keeps my candida at bay. Also, I haven't had the flu/cold in over two years since taking this. Fantastic!!!

I can't live without these probiotics. I had to go without them for 2 weeks because I was out of town (iherb delivers to my home) and I noticed immediately that I needed them. Once I got home and back on them, I felt better. Helps relieve multiple digestive issues like... bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhea, gas, indigestion, nausea. You can chew them for stomach issues and swallow them for the rest of your digestion symptoms. These probiotics will not grow mold or fungus and have a non-refridgerated shelf-life of three years. They have their own food supply, so are very stable. I had a wound that wasn't healing and I put a tiny bit on it and it healed up nicely. Very high quality product!

Roast Chicken with Old-fashioned Dressing

I would have never thought to use a box grater for making breadcrumbs! That will be filed under "helpful hints"! The chicken looks delicious! It is 42 degrees this morning. I'm outta here!

Look amazing Pam like all your delicious foo you always make!!!!

My very favorite meal! I don't seem to have an easy time finding chickens as large as I'd like to have, though. They are usually on the small side. Great recipe!
- January 13, 2014 at 9:46 AM
- Big Dude said...
Good looking meal Pam and I could go for a plate right now. Your stuffing recipe sounds like what my mom made except she crumbled rather than grated the bread.
- January 13, 2014 at 10:59 AM
- Shug said...
I've always wondered about this...I suppose this is the reason some call it stuffing. Being from Texas and the South....we fix it with cornbread and it is called Dressing.
I do use some breads, but mostly cornbread. I'm sure they both taste delicious.... Glad to know how to make stuffing.
Have a great evening...

Pam, Roasted chicken with dressing (and a little chicken gravy)is one of my favorites. I like the dressing with a little spicy sausage in it from time to time also! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Chicken and dressing is an all time favorite. It's going to get cold down this way and this would make me feel good, very, very good.

We need all the comfort food we can get in this weather, and your Roast Chicken and Dressing fits the bill perfectly. My Mom used to call it dressing, too.

There is most definitely something special about roasting a chicken for your family and sitting down to that dinner. I've never made it with dressing and I bet it's beyond flavorful!

Hi Pam!
Oh my, Nothing beats a golden roasted chicken with old fashioned stuffing. I need to get us some chicken quick. I haven't made one in way too long!
Thank you so much for sharing, Pam...
